Regionally focussed strategies for economic development

Several initiatives un-derway or nearing

completion have given rise to questions and concerns among Sunshine Coast residents. Here is some information to provide an-swers and allay concerns.

With much pleasure those that worked for St. Mary’s renovation — by lobbying, fundraising, � -nancing, constructing, and sta� ng the new hos-pital — had a tour at the o� cial opening last week. � e Sechelt Indian Band should be recognized for giving up some of their land in order to have the hospital moved from Gar-den Bay. At the time, in the 1960s, the band land was turned over to the regional district and became regis-tered as part of Halfmoon Bay, Area B. Today, the Sunshine Coast Regional Hospital Board is made up of the same members as the board of the Sunshine Coast Regional District.

I have been asked how

Coast WatchGarry NohrChair Sunshine Coast Regional District and Repesentative for Halfmoon Bay, Area B

the new wastewater plant in Sechelt will a� ect the taxes in the rural areas. � e answer is not at all. Since the new plant will be in Sechelt, it is a municipal taxing function and has nothing to do with taxpay-ers in Halfmoon Bay or Roberts Creek. � e only future concern might be for residents of rural areas who have septic tanks or � elds, as there could per-haps be an increased cost for dumping pumped-out septage at Sechelt’s waste-water plant.

I have been queried about the sources of drink-ing water for which the Sunshine Coast Regional District is responsible. � e main one is Chapman Creek, which runs through Sechelt up to the Rock-water Resort. Gibsons has their own water sup-ply, with the exception of one area of the town that gets water from Chapman Creek. At the north end of the Coast they are the North and South Pender water systems, along with one in Egmont, which are all part of regional district water system.

Recent e� orts by local governments to further economic development

include Sechelt’s innova-tive economic develop-ment committee and Gib-sons’ economic task force. � ese initiatives, plus the e� orts of Sechelt Indian Government District, will not necessarily result in a coast-wide economic de-velopment plan but will create regionally focused strategies.

� e regional district di-rectors have completed the SCRD budget for 2013 and have passed the bylaw that is required to fund all the regional services. � is year, as part of the budget process, there was a series of meetings with the Sech-elt library board on fund-ing and the reduction or elimination of rent for the library. � e negotiations with District of Sechelt were successful, as the rent paid from the regional district funders will go to the operating budget of the library in the future. If Sechelt council follows suit and maintains the same operating budget, this will allow the library to do necessary upgrades and maintenance.

Feel free to contact me either by email or phone. Cell: 604-741-2427 or [email protected].

Last week, I met with the Standing Com-

mittee on Procedure and House A� airs (PROC). I need to convey a main point for MP’s and others involved in the process – it’s way more di� cult than it may look for an MP to discuss boundary changes in his or her own riding. In fact, as I said at the be-ginning of my remarks to PROC, my submission “may have been the most di� cult I’ve made in my four years as an MP.”

� e con� ict involved is in balancing the mandated need to reduce population size for the ridings while the MP continues to rep-resent the communities in his or her riding, at least until boundary redistri-bution takes place. � ere is always the ever present duty on the MP to repre-sent the needs and aspira-

tions of people and com-munities in the riding, which may be di� cult to interpret.

My riding is a great il-lustration of the chal-lenge. With the longest name in the House of Commons, the riding is a perfect divide between rural and urban; contains several distinct communi-ties; and is de� ned by dis-tinctive character as you take the two ferry rides from Powell River in the North, through the Sun-shine Coast to the North Shore; then wheel your way onward up the Sea to Sky Corridor to Whistler, one of the world’s most re-nowned resorts.

I made it clear in my written and oral submis-sions that it will be better if Whistler remains in the riding. At the same time, Powell River has been pro-posed for exclusion from the riding by the Bound-ary Commission, a move that would put it with Vancouver Island North. Leaders in Powell River have expressed the desire

to remain with the Sun-shine Coast, which has been proposed to remain in the riding.

What would I prefer? Well, any hardworking MP would say that she or he has got to know all the communities in the rid-ing he or she represents, and I am no exception. I do not want any part of the riding I represent to leave. Whether by work or by friendship, I am bound tightly to each of these far-� ung and color-ful communities and will be reluctant to see them separated. I am sensitive as well to the people in these communities who have expressed their desire to stay within the riding I represent. Population and other factors may drive other conclusions but, as I put it to the PROC last week, I prefer Pow-ell River and Whistler to stay within the bound-aries of what I often call “� e Most Beautiful Place on Earth.” I’m sure other MPs face similar dilem-mas in their submissions.

Editorial Opinion

Volume 11Issue 14

Letters to the Editor – Opinions

(Letters continued on page 5)

Walking along the beach in Davis Bay this Easter weekend was enough to remind any Coast resident

why they chose to live in this incredible place. My mem-ory was �ooded with thoughts of kids swimming in the water, �shing o� the pier, and even participating in the annual sandcastle building contest. �ese were but a few of the many images of warm, sunny days that started to pop into my mind.

Seeing the hundreds of beautiful da�odils reminded me that it’s time for us to celebrate spring, and be grate-ful for all that we have here. April is Da�odil Month, which is when people should take some extra time to re�ect on those living with cancer and all the ways that we can help them.

Almost everyone has a relative or close friend that has been diagnosed with cancer. Just knowing that an estimat-ed 186,400 new cases of cancer and around 76,000 people died in Canada in 2012, is a real wake-up call for everyone to actively pursue helping both others and yourself.

In 2011, cancer became the number one cause of death for Canadians, although people are now living longer after being diagnosed with cancer than ever before.

Most people would place cancer on the top of the wish list when it comes to curing a disease, but when you read all the articles, journal entries and blogs on whether we are winning the war on cancer, the results are nothing more then a mixed bag of slightly tangled statements that are full of contradictions. It isn’t easy to understand what is really going on.

Some groups even claim that cancer has been cured in Edmonton, AB but that the large corporate pharmaceuti-cal industry is just holding back. With over 200 forms of cancer, it’s hard to believe that cancer will be cured in one fell swoop. It seems much more plausible that there will be a number of steps that slowly lead to curing the disease in the future.

Having said that, each case has its own unique attributes and many a miracle has happened over the years, where there doesn’t seem to be a reasonable answer.

If you or a loved one does have cancer or have recently been diagnosed, there are many support groups available ranging from national Canadian Cancer Society <www.cancer.ca> to the Sunshine Coast-based Ruby Slipper Cancer Support Group which you can �nd on Facebook under their name or email: admin@communityresource centre.info

Da�odil pins can be found at the three MarketPlace IGAs in Gibsons, Wilson Creek, and Madeira Park. You can also �nd them at LifeLabs in both Gibsons and Sech-elt and at the Pharmasave in Sechelt.

�e Canadian Cancer Society suggests that on April 27 (Da�odil Day) you make an extra e�ort to tell a loved one with cancer that you are thinking of them and actually try to do something special for them, including making a meal, or o�ering to do an errand. You can also take it a step further and make a presentation in your community to help raise awareness about how Canadians can �ght back against cancer. Prevention is one of the best — and most e�ective ways — to �ght cancer.

Prevention tactics have been proven to be the easiest way to cut cancer rates. Number one on the list is getting peo-ple to quit smoking. 25 to 30 percent of cancers are caused by smoking, but almost one quarter of the population still smokes. It’s time to butt out.

Also, people should avoid drinking alcohol in excess and get serious about tackling obesity. Just try to make some adjustments to include some healthy eating habits. In turn, individuals can increase physical activity in their lives by adding activities such as walking, biking and play-ing a few rounds of golf. Jim Dorey, Editor

A daffodil for your thoughts

Government should encourage cohabitation

�ere I was, hand-water-ing my garden on a bless-edly bright West Coast morning, pondering for some perverse reason the even more bizarre changes in cohabitation law that the Federal Conservatives have conjured up.

�ere are advantages to living alone as I do, but sometimes I consider shar-ing this personal space of mine.

�is is not primarily a sexual impulse. Accommo-dating that wouldn’t require co-habitation and surely it couldn’t be the Conserva-tive’s intention to pimp us out to one another by ty-ing those kinds of personal choices to individual eco-nomics.

As it stands, discouraging seniors from cohabiting will cost what the government now saves by paying more to single seniors than to in-dividuals living as married couples, a long-standing form of discrimination al-ready deserving of a legal challenge.

I don’t know if that loss of pension has applied where unmarried same-sex seniors have shared a house. Will such an arrangement now, in these days of legal gay marriage, be assumed to be

one if it holds up for two years?

And why would any government reigning over a housing shortage want in any way to discourage cohabitation of any kind? Why would any society aware of its overall drain on resources discourage indi-vidual citizens from seeking, by sharing, to reduce it?

�ese new laws might make some sort of sense for people venturing into their core years. �ey discrimi-nate against those who have already transited them.John Marian, Halfmoon Bay

Are transmitters really safe?

Rogers is in the business of making money

I believe that Rogers is misleading your readers and the City o�cials when they imply that the cell transmit-ters, and the radiation that is emitted, is safe. By say-ing there is no evidence of harm, they are ignoring the thousands of studies done by world famous scientists showing quite the opposite.

Once that tower is on the �re hall, Rogers can and will put as many transmitters, of all sorts, on it as they want. In a neighbourhood in Vic-toria they put three FM transmitters as close as 30 meters from homes built 10

years earlier. FM transmit-ters are stronger than cell and are normally no where near homes. When people complained, Rogers said they made their plans before they knew there were homes there. �ey now have over 25 transmitters in our once lovely area.

Property values have sunk. In fact, homes, even beautiful homes with spec-tacular views, don’t sell. People are sick with neu-rological problems, cardiac disorders and cancer. Pets as young as a few months have died from cancer.

Please demand that City o�cials do their homework before signing the contract. Tell your o�cials that now that they have been in-formed about the dangers, they could be held liable for endangering the health of their �remen and residents living near the �re hall. Do let Rogers tell you that these transmitters are safe. Make them prove they are!Sharon Noble, Victoria, BC

More antennas mean more radiation

It is hard to inveigh against Rogers’ 35 metre cell tower in Gibsons with-out giving a few facts about electromagnetic radiation (EMR). EMR travels in straight lines at the speed

of light, has energy, wave-length and frequency (mea-sured in Hertz). Every liv-ing thing resonates (pulses) with Earth’s magnetic �eld at 7.83 to 10 Hertz. Our brains, depending on their activity, pulse up to 30 Hz. We are bioelectric beings. EMR can sometimes medi-cally help us; more often, depending on frequency and whether it is pulsed or continuous, it harms living things. EMR is cumulative.

Rogers is using Code 6 of the Canada Health Act for its EMR safety standard. �is standard is based on WHO studies heavily fund-ed by utilities and telecoms. Canada has no studies of its own. Code 6 states that if microwaves don’t heat the skin they are safe. Nu-merous independent stud-ies by researchers, doctors, and scientists around the globe have proved Code 6 is long outdated. Canada’s permitted EMR exposure is 1000 microwatts/centi-meter squared, which is 100 to 1000 times higher than many other countries in-cluding China.

As well as Code 6, a doc-ument from Dr. Patricia Daly, Chief Medical Health O�cer, VCH, stated there is “international scienti�c consensus” that “radiation

(Continued from page 4)from cellular base stations is far too low to cause adverse health e� ects.” In fact, there is only international contro-versy. Dr. Daly denies RF is the cause of electromagnetic hypersensitivity although as long ago as 1932 doctors linked RF to this illness. Today three percent of the population is acutely a� ect-ed and another 25 percent somewhat a� ected.

Cell towers have a 25 to 30 mile range. � e engineer at Rogers said only the top 10 meters would radiate. People would be 25 meters below. She said re� ection would weaken the signal but only distance weakens it. � e Fire Department was in favor of a better response time but seemed unaware of the IAFF Resolution 15 regarding adverse e� ects of cell towers on � re stations. Finally, towers are vertical real estate and more anten-nas mean more radiation.Nancy Leathley, Gibsons

Specialists pipe in on Extra Low Frequencies (ELF’s) Dear Mr. Machado,(Town of Gibsons)

I have a copy of a letter dated February 14, 2013,

that was sent to you by Dr. Paul Martiquet. It concerns the proposed Rogers com-munication tower intended as an upgrade to the present tower at Gibsons Fire hall. Dr Martiquet states, “� ere has been considerable re-search on the health impacts of cellular antennae, and the evidence at present does not indicate health risks for the public.” � is is grossly mis-leading. Please read the fol-lowing comments by three of the many electromag-netic radiation experts who would disagree.

Martha R Herbert (PhD, MD, Harvard Medical School, 2013) said, “I re-cently accepted an invita-tion to review literature pertinent to a potential link between Autism Spectrum Disorders and Electromag-netic Frequencies and Ra-diofrequency Radiation. I set out to write a paper of modest length, but found much more literature than I had anticipated to review. I ended up producing a 60- page, single spaced paper with over 550 citations.”

Andrew Goldworhty (MSc, PhD 2012) said, “To some degree, we can make our own electromagnetic environment safer by avoid-ing radio waves that have

been pulsed or amplitude modulated at ELFs (extra low frequencies). � e ELFs that give damaging biologi-cal e� ects as measured by calcium release from brain slices and ornithine de-carboxylase production in tissue cultures lie between 6Hz and 600Hz. It is un-fortunate that virtually all mobile telecommunica-tions systems use pulses within this range. � e in-dustry clearly did not do its homework before letting these technologies loose on the general public and this omission may already have cost many lives.”

Dr Gerd Oberfeld of the Department of Public Health, Salzburg said, “� e extrapolated trend indicates that 50 percent of the world population can be expected to become electrosensitive by the year 2017.”

Canada’s safety limit for cell tower radiation is one million times higher than Salzburg’s.Susan Fletcher, Sunshine Coast

Too many unanswered questions

� ere seem to be too many secrets about the cost of pumping sewage around. What geotechnical

reports and what company’s did them on Ebbtide? � e mayor did say it will have a larger capacity then the cur-rent plant, and that it will be easily upgraded to grow if necessary or will it be the same size as what we have now? $25 million wasted?

� ere are larger new modern wastewater plants that meet the new US Envi-ronmental Act (EPA) Stan-dards for the $3.2 million Building Canada Fund, plus the $8 million Gas Tax Fund, that are $7 million dollars cheaper then Veolia. Why did no one like Ken Tang or anyone form Sech-elt go to Europe to see the so called greenhouse Veolia plants in action and ask the right questions to the right people?

Why are we the � rst in North America? Why have all the other educated city’s waste water committees in Canada and the United States in the past eleven years not picked the Veolia Greenhouse that we are? Why did Winnipeg in 2011 stop Veolia from running their waste water plant? Check out Veolia problems on the net, like the lawsuit that was brought against Bur-lingame in 2008, accusing Veolia of dumping more than

Letters to the Editor – Opinions10 million gallons of waste-water and untreated sewage over a � ve-year period into the San Francisco Bay.

Why did sewage expert Engineer Ken Tang, with the last mayor and council, pick Lower Lot L near Dusty Road for our new plant?

� e big elephant in the room is Ebbtide — this small, swampy, mostly below sea level, densely populated neighborhood sewage plant is in the centre of Sechelt and has ruined the inhabit-ants enjoyment of life and their homes for years. � is is wrong. � is is not how Sech-elt should operate.

Your NEW Benjamin Moore Signature Store Starting April 15!

Danny and Bonnie Hubenig are pleased to announce

The Sunshine Coast is � nally warming up,

which has brought people out of their homes to start planting gardens, cleaning decks and � ring up bar-becues. For many Coast residents, their house is lo-cated in a cool and damp environment for most of the winter and because of this, they may have con-cerns with moss building up on exterior surfaces such as decks, stucco, con-crete, siding and rooftops.

Some people view the 12,000 species of moss as lovely while others see it as unsightly. Either way, if you � nd moss on your roof, you should have concerns with it, as it will lead to prolonged wetness and can decay your roof resulting in water leaks and premature aging of shingles.

Moss starts as a thin green layer over the top of shingles. Between the shin-gles and along the edges it also seems to thrive as the

sunlight doesn’t penetrate and completely dry it up.

It’s bad enough with as-phalt or composite shin-gles, but if you have wood shingles, it can be disas-trous. Wood’s porous sur-face is prime real estate for moss growth.

� e challenge facing homeowners is removing that moss safely. Many build-ing supplies stores will carry certain products to help re-move moss, but working on the roof is inherently dan-gerous, and you should seek the help of a professional.

If you are thinking of selling your home, a quick de-mossing should help it appraise better, and even if you’re not, it will help your roof last much longer and help you protect the rest of your house from mold and water damage.

Reworked classics – Tin Man vs Peter Pan

On Monday, April 1 at about 5pm, Sunshine

Coast RCMP responded to a break-and- enter alert. Police learned that the homeowner had returned home and dis-covered the suspect in his house. A physical altercation ensued and police believe at

least one gunshot was � red. RCMP are saying they

have one male suspect in custody and that there are no known injuries to par-ties involved.

� e investigation is in the early stages and will be continuing.

RCMP did mention it was not a random act and there is no danger to the general public.

Sunshine Coast RCMP are asking anyone with in-formation to contact them at 605-885-2266.Submitted

An informal group of Coast residents has

organized an opportunity to learn about the history and impact of the Cana-dian Indian Residential School System. On Sat-urday, April 6 at 7pm, St Hilda’s Anglican Church

will host a panel presenta-tion with a question and answer period with Sharon � era and Rev. Dr. Wendy Fletcher. Dr. Fletcher will focus on our history and a timeline of the policies and decisions that created the Residential School Sys-

tem. Ms.� era’s focus will be on the impact of the Residential School Experi-ence on the First Nations people of Canada.

Admission is by dona-tion. For more information please call 604-885-7373.Submitted

Impact of residential schools

Reworking the clas-sics is a tough thing

for moviemakers and is rarely successful. Tim Willing, did Tin Man

(2007) a sci-� — well, more ‘steam punk’ ver-sion of � e Wizard of Oz.Also a mini-series, it tells a very original and satis-fying version of our clas-sic. � is one bears almost no resemblance to the be-

loved books, but bubbles with wild interpolations of the old ideas. Zooey Deschanel plays DG, or Dorothy, and Richard Dreyfuss is the mystic man. � ey � lmed this in the Lower Mainland, so

there’s some fun in rec-ognizing the locations. Willing also directed Nev-erland (2011) that adds a touch of theoretical phys-ics to show how the uni-verse of Peter Pan could have existed.

Sunshine Coast based Kranked Bikes, is pro-

ducing great value bikes, cycling helmets as well as snow accessories and has them available in Canadian Tire stores across Canada.

Grantham Landing’s Bjørn Enga is the driving force behind the brand and says, “Our mission is to en-courage people to get out and enjoy nature ...with a healthy dose of adrenaline!”

Bjørn’s company Kranked, started strictly as a produc-tion company and was origi-nally hired at a ski trade show in Vegas in 1996 to produce a TV show for Bike TV, which would later be broad-cast on the Outdoor Life Network across the USA.

After this deal was made, Bjørn formed Radical Films Inc. and by 1998, the � rst Kranked � lm was released. It burst onto the scene like a breath of fresh air and ex-posed the bike industry and general public to an exciting action/lifestyle way of riding that was termed ‘free riding’. He went on to create seven more feature length ‘high test’ biking movies which will have you on the edge of your seat Go and watch a clip on the Kranked website and you’ll be amazed.

Inspired by the incredible local talent and beautiful environment here on the Coast, Bjørn has been able to live, create and ride with the best of the best.

Kranked’s underlying agenda is to produce the best media and products possible while inspiring people to do the best they can too. Kranked wants to promote the cool, con-scious, adrenaline lifestyle that lets them continue to create media that is revolu-tionary in the industry.

Sixteen year-old Sunshine Coast resident Holly Feniak and Kranked team rider won the Canadian National Junior Women’s mountain biking title and placed sec-ond in the Women’s contest

Local � lm guru releases more than just movies

overall, beating riders years older than her.

Kranked bikes such as the Gromm are a great starter set of wheels for any young new rider, while Kranked has just launched their � rst high-end builds with the 20- inch Kranked Ripper hardtails.

Finally, Kranked is now building some high per-formance electric assist mountain bikes. � ese bikes are totally amazing with lightweight power-ful battery pack and can get you up to places you might not have gone before. For more info: www.krankedbikes.com/kustoms

We believe every kid deserves

a wicked bike.— BJORN ENGA —

Tip of the Week:� e New Moon in Ar-

ies, the � rst o� cial one for spring 2013, is on April 10. Especially since there will be � ve ‘planets’ in Ar-ies – Sun and Moon (of-� cially called ‘luminaries’) Venus, Mars and Uranus, which are already in Aries. Yet, it is the New Moon in Aries cycle that will prove to really activate the sea-son and perhaps the entire year into much more dy-namic motion. � ough a welcome change for many it could also coincide with a lot more drama. � e dis-play of muscle and aggres-sion in North Korea is one example. Up to now, we have been still under the in� uence of the previous New Moon of March 11, which not only hosted sev-en ‘planets’ in Pisces but also Mercury retrograde. Many will agree that upon re� ection and even now, this has synchronized with what might be deemed a ‘wishy-washy’ cycle. Like moving through a dense fog, indecisiveness, insecu-rity, people deciding upon something then changing their mind quickly there-after or simply not feeling con� dent, clear or focused enough to make any deci-sions at all has been a con-sistent theme. Confusion, clumsiness and other mis-haps are also characteristic themes. As for current cy-cles, the in� uence is linger-ing like a persistent weath-er pattern but will change again as if suddenly. So, we can all look forward to a more direct and decisive cycle, though admittedly Mercury is still in Pisces and will be until April 13, which means it is featured in the New Moon seed chart. � is means some residual fog patches in the ethers will remain for a while yet. Still, the fric-tion that the � ve planets in Aries is already generating will certainly burn it o� quickly, so expect things to ‘heat-up’ even more on many fronts very soon!Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)� e pace of things con-

tinues to accelerate. You have already taken some initiatives yet there are big-ger ones yet to begin. � is is likely causing a stir in your love life as well, for better or worse. Be careful not to come on too strong with demands and assertions,

yet avoid procrastination as well. It is probably best to wait to dive into bigger projects until after the next New Moon.Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

Many desires and am-bitions are actively ges-tating. � ese may not be so apparent to others but you know it. � e time to make your plans more public has not yet arrived. You have yet to iron out all the details. Yet, it is im-portant that you do take those key steps soon. For-tunately for you, however, there are indications that your con� dence levels will increase all year long!Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

You are getting more at-tention these days. Hope-fully you want it and it is the kind you want. Some-thing is kicking o� in you public life. Unfortunately, there are disturbances in the � eld you must con-tend with. Focus and be � exible, creative and pro-active to overcome any setbacks. A learning curve is implied so gather all the tools, skills and instruc-tion you can.Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

A period or re� ection and retreat have taken a turn. Now you are being pushed into the limelight. � is could be a good thing if you want it. Your con-� dence and/or trust levels may still be wavering more than you would like. It may take a few months yet before you are back in your element. Be as patient as you can with everything and everyone.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)� e new cycle that is

about to begin will give you a boost. You have like-ly been dealing with a lot of complex issues over the past few months. At best, you have been getting your a� airs in order and clear-ing the clutter. Now it is time to forge ahead. Your con� dence to do so will increase steadily over the next several weeks.Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)A cloud of confusion is

� nally clearing. Everyone has been dealing with it. Yet, there may be some clean up to do to get things in order again. It is time to look to the future. � e more able you are to take an independent lead the better. � ere remains time to increase your ex-posure, power potential and income before sum-mer arrives.Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)Tending to lingering

health issues, either yours or those of others close to home remains impor-

tant. New stimulations on relationship fronts have begun. � ese stand to ac-tivate new involvements or at least spice-up your love life. One way or another, sparks are beginning to � y. Hopefully these are the kind that ignites your plea-sure passions.Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

A creative cycle contin-ues to unfold. Your inter-pretations of beauty are featured. Yet, you may still be in the sampling stage. You are willing to make some sincere e� orts to achieve your goals. � at you want ‘this and that’, even though each one is greatly distinct, is an on-going dilemma these days. If one represents the high road and the other the low, aim high.Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

Some big shifts and changes close to home are still rolling in. Yet, the worst is over and now and you are in the mood play. Social opportunities con-tinue to present themselves. � is trend will continue for a while yet. Your energy levels are running higher and you feel sporty. At least you are willing to take risks or place a few bets.Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

Many new ideas, percep-tions and plans have been seeded. � eir e� ects have already begun to reveal themselves close to home. In there a new family member on the scene or is it a new love interest in its early stages? Installing new appliances or equipment or doing renovations or at least a big spring clean up is likely. Something is shak-ing your world.Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

Everything you want and value is under review. Are you realizing your dreams? At worst you feel stuck in a rut. You can’t go back but which way is forward? � is fog will lift but it will take a couple of weeks or so yet. Fortunately, the dynamic � ow of spring has begun. It is activating a rebellious urge. Tune-in, by reaching out to at least some simple new possibilities.Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

� e seeds of change were sown at the last New Moon in your sign. � ese do indicate a mix of inspi-rations and ambitions but perhaps some confusion and doubt. To perpetuate your growing con� dence it is important that you explore new avenues. � e urge to do so will become much more obvious soon. Act now on the seed ideas and impulses so they don’t just pass you by.
