News Compassionate efforts made on behalf of those without homes

Trail briefs The warmth of community spirit lingered in the basement of Trail’s United Church on Nov. 19, as all hands were on deck to pull out beds and finalize arrangements to open the extreme weather emergency shelter.

This is the third year that La Nina, Greater Trail’s temporary shelter, will open its doors to welcome

the homeless to come in out of the cold.

This year, the Career Development Services (CDS) is partnered with the Greater Trail Community Skills Centre and the United Church to help individuals using the shelter.

The CDS already has a homelessness program in place, so to direct the shelter was a natural transi-

tion. “We support a lot of the individuals who may need to utilize the shelter,” said Sheila Adcock, CDS coordinator for the La Nina Program.

“We know which agencies to connect them with and we can help the person to find work, support and housing.”

Adcock said shelter is only a temporary stop, and the CDS will assist with a long-

term plan.

“Every morning, there will be an outreach worker who will meet with the persons to find out and bring them to whatever community resources are needed for the day,” said Adcock.

“We have the support for anyone in the community needing housing, and we can help them find it.”

Kate’s Kitchen and

the Selkirk College food program will donate food for the night, breakfast and a packed lunch for the day, if needed.

On fire... or not?

The plume has long since cleared, but a shroud of mystery still engulfs a Pacific Coastal plane grounded at the Trail Regional Airport.

One week following an incident at

the airport the plane remains parked, because there is internal damage to the engine, said Spencer Smith, vice president of commercial services for Pacific Coastal Airlines “It is too early to tell why there is engine damage, but we think it was caused by tests we did the next day.”

Smith went on to explain that the main-

tenance crew arrived the morning of Nov. 15, and did not see any damage.

A new engine is currently en route from Vancouver, and Smith said the plane should be repaired by the weekend.

Smith declined to discuss the outcome of the on-going investigation.

There’s no place like home, unless it’s the road Karl Yu West kootenay Advertiser

While Grand Forks’ Kootenay International Junior Hockey team is based in, well, Grand Forks, the team played a home/ road game on Saturday night.

The Bruins scored their largest margin

of victory on Saturday night with an 8-3 win over the Chase Heat and while the Bruins were technically the home team, the game was played to the west in Midway.

“It’s to spread things around,” said Nick Deschenes, Border Bruins’ head coach and GM. “We

are based out of Grand Forks but there are some communities in the area that are aware of us and also have minor hockey programs and so it’s kind of a good way to bridge that gap.”

Deschenes said the community rallied behind the team and with the win, every-

one got their moneys worth.

He said the team also had an opportunity to showcase local players.

“It helps that you have Chris Osellame, who’s from Midway, and Brandon Savaia, another local player and Tyler Van Camp (both from Grand Forks) and so with all those guys in the lineup, there were definitely a few more bums in the seats,” Deschenes explained.

Deschenes said the organization could look to play more games at Midway’s Boundary Expo Rec Centre next season.

“It’s a really good ice surface. It’s flat and everything is properly proportioned, it’s a little bit of a bigger ice surface. We play on the small surface (of Grand Forks Arena) and things hap-

Santa to pay a return visit to Baker Street Nelson Staff West Kootenay Advertiser

Santa Claus will return to Nelson’s downtown on Friday with some exciting new additions to make the event more festive.

To make the evening more fantastic, organizers are inviting people to don their helpers attire and join in the city’s First Annual Elf Walk. This will also be the launch of the Festival of Lights as Santa turns on the newly decorated holiday trees of Baker Street.

The event goes at 5:30 p.m. in the 400 block of Baker Street.

For more than 40 years Santa Claus has been coming courtesy of Nelson Fire Department to light up the holiday trees and personally meet with children. This tradition is getting some extra excitement as organizers are encouraging people to show up in their best elf attire to show Santa their spirit of the season.

This event was inspired by the flash

mob movement and is your opportunity to not just attend, but to be a part of the fun.

The street will also be more vibrant as a new group has started a committee to increase Nelson’s holiday lighting presence.

Event co-organizer Maureen Crawford notes that the addition of 10,000 lights to the downtown area will bring more cheer to the holiday season.

“Our goal is to make the streets more festive for the holidays and we are working together with local groups and organizations to help make this a reality, we are off to an excellent start this year, you must come out to see,” said Crawford.

The entire event is made possible by everyone in Nelson, in particular local businesses and organizations. Without hesitation people have donated and volunteered to help make this event successful.

There will be popcorn courtesy of Kal Tire and apple cider from the Kootenay Coop.

The Nelson Star and 103.5 The Bridge are

hosting a chili contest. The Music Store is helping with sound, a visit from the Shaw Cable Polar Bear, and don’t forget Santa.

Also the Nelson and District Chamber of Commerce, the Cultural Alliance, the City of Nelson and the Nelson Business Association are volunteering their time to help make this event another wonderful reason to come to town.

“Nelson is one of my favourite places to visit. I am so impressed at how well everyone gets together to make my stay so special, especially the children,” said Santa Claus. “This is one of my most inspirational stops and I’m very excited about the new additions this year. I really look forward to seeing everyone dressed up in their favourite elf outfit.”

The event starts at 5:30 p.m. and Santa arrives at 6:30 p.m.

He will stay until he sees every child waiting in line.

City councillors reflect on first year It’s been about a year since Grand Forks city councillors Bob Kendel and Gary Smith were elected into office and both have learned a lot since they first took on their positions.

For Kendel, the year has been interesting.

“It’s been an extraordinary learning curve and probably one of the most interesting and challenging things I’ve ever

done,” he said.

What’s new with what’s old

SS Nelson memento garners bid of $160 Greg Nesteroff West Kootenay Advertiser

Another in a series of weekly roundups of Kootenay-related items appearing at auction.

An original mounted photo of the Kootenay Lake sternwheeler SS Nelson sold recently on eBay for $160 US. The photo measured 5 x 8 and showed the boat landed on a beach with snowcapped mountains behind it. At least 15 men (they do all appear to be men) are seen toward the ship’s bow, including someone, presumably the captain, sticking his head out the wheelhouse. The photographer was uncredited.

The Nelson was built in 1891 for the Columbia and Kootenay Steam Navigation Company and measured 40 meters long by eight meters wide.

It plied the route between Nelson, Kaslo, and Bonners Ferry, Idaho until 1897, and between Nelson and Kuskonook during construction of the BC Southern Railway in 1898-99.

It was withdrawn from service in 1913 and given a Viking funeral to cap Nelson’s Chahko Mika carnival on July 16, 1914.

• Postcards of New Denver and Silverton sold lately for $58 and $76.50 US, respectively.

The former was a

ca. 1912 real photo card of the New Denver waterfront as seen from the west side of Slocan Lake. The Newmarket Hotel is among the buildings readily identifiable.

The latter was a ca.

1910 lithograph show-

ing many long-lost false-front buildings, and the SS Slocan puffing away in the distance.

Similar cards have popped up before, but this may have set a record price.

It was published

by Charles F. Nelson, a New Denver druggist and photographer who was also Liberal MLA for the Slocan riding. In 1916, he beat Conservative William Hunter by one vote, 448 to 447.

Hunter handily won

the re-match four years later.

• A column two weeks ago about the sale of a rare postmark from the Taghum area mentioned in passing the mystery behind that name, bestowed

by John C. Bell, a partner in the Lambert and Bell sawmill.

Taghum is the Chinook trading jargon word for six, but there is no consensus on six what in this case.

Theories include six miles from the Nelson wharf or Bonnington Falls.

Two more ideas have since come forth: 45-year Taghum resident Bob Rollick suggests it’s the number of creeks in the area, namely Sandy, Sproule, Bear, Eagle, Falls, and Grohman.

Ann Irving, meanwhile, thinks it’s a reference to the sixth cataract above the confluence of the Kootenay and Columbia rivers prior to the construction of the dams. From the east, they are: Brilliant, Stonebyres (South Slocan), Lower Bonnington, Upper Bonnington, Corra Linn, and the one seen in old photos where the CPR and highway bridges cross the river at Taghum.

(Sir Charles Ross, who designed the early dams, named Bonnington, Stonebyres, and Corra Linn after waterfalls on the River Clyde in Scotland.)

Taking a look back... into what could be the financial future SUBMITTED

I still recall those early years of the 1980s when high inflation and soaring interest rates virtually crippled the economy. I was a “newbie” – a young lady just venturing out on her own, landing her first real job at a local financial institution. No doubt, I was still very naïve about the goings-on in the world – but, my experiences in that role taught me invaluable life lessons which shaped me into the financial planner I am today.

Let’s rewind the tape a wee bit. Back in the 1980s, consumers listened for the latest inflation figures and worried about every bump in oil prices or each musing from then-central bank governor Gerald Bouey. The reason was because Canada’s price index at that time was rising faster than the mercury in a thermometer on a hot day.

For 12 years from

1980 to 1991, Canadian prices increased on average by 6.0 per cent a year, (more than three times the current average rate of inflation). Thus, a product a consumer would purchase for $100 in 1980 would cost that person $189 in 1991, a jump of over 89 per cent. Prices accelerated even faster during the early ‘80s, advancing at an annual 12 per cent clip.

By the middle of the 1980s, Ottawa had had enough. The federal government clamped down on public spending, and the Bank of Canada hiked interest rates.

That combination slowed growth as well as inflation and resulted in some difficult economic times for this country. It is a world to which no one wants to return.

If you were a “saver” it was boom times. A one year term deposit or a high daily interest savings account could easily fetch a 12 percent annual rate of return. However,

if you happened to be a “borrower” - you were in for a brutal awakening!

I still recall many clients walking into the financial institution over that time period. These were straight-up people, some with families, most of them employed and feeling the overwhelming crush of trying to keep ahead of the game.

Inflation was running amok and with it came astronomical mortgage and lending rates of more than 20 percent!

Those were incredibly sad days when clients would walk the “Green Mile” into the loan manager’s office and learn that foreclosure action was being taken against them. How devastating – how incredibly cruel. It was so hard to fathom that so many people just couldn’t keep up to the high interest rates and heavy payments and were now losing their family homes.

For many young Canadians today, who

“Inflation was running amok and with it came astronomical mortgage and lending rates of more than 20 per cent.”

Debbie Pereversoff do not remember the high rates of inflation in the 1970s and early 1980s, it is difficult to appreciate why inflation matters; they have only experienced a world of low and stable inflation—inflation so low and so stable that most probably ignore it completely.

What we have witnessed from this low inflation and interest rate environment is a jump in the number of Canadians using their mortgages to free up cash, with 18 per cent taking out equity as the cited need for debt consolidation or repayment.

Recently, Jim Flaherty and the federal Finance Department have been taking measures to further

How to choose charitable gifts SUBMITTED CCNA

Showing your loved ones that you care by making a charitable gift in their name resonates with the true holiday spirit of giving. It also ensures your gifts won’t be returned, left unused, or re-gifted.

But with so many options to choose from, where do you start your search for the right charity?

Check to see if your charity of choice is registered.

A good first step in choosing your charity is to visit the Canada Revenue Agency’s website (www.cra. gc.ca). Here you can check if the organization you are interested in is registered

under the Income Tax Act, meaning it is a recognized Canadian charity.

Where (in the world) will your money go?

Would you like to help people in the developing world, or would you prefer to support programs in Canada? Decide where you’d like your impact to be made -- abroad or at home -- and find out where your charity of interest works.

Some charities simply offer a card to recognize your gift, while others offer extras like calendars or toys. Consider where your donation is going. Is it paying for the extras, or is most of it being used for the work the charity

does? It’s nice to be able to offer an extra with your thoughtful gift, but consider whether its cost reduces the impact of your charitable gift.

If you aren’t getting a full tax receipt, not all of your money is going straight to the cause. If the extra is optional, consider saying, “No, thanks.”

Review MoneySense’s Charity 100 Every year, MoneySense magazine reviews Canada’s top 100 charities and grades them on their efficiency, transparency, and governance policies (www. moneysense.ca/the2012-charity-100/).

Sorted by sector (environment, health, international aid, etc.), the Charity 100 pro-

vides a helpful overview to get started with charitable gift giving. Choose your sector and find out which charity will spend your money most effectively.

This holiday, choose conservation.

For the third year in a row, the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) was the top-ranking environmental charity in Canada, receiving a grade of A+. At NCC, 85 cents of every dollar raised goes directly to on-the-ground land conservation in Canada.

It’s easy to give a meaningful gift this holiday season: • Order online: http://www.giftsofnature.ca/ or call tollfree: 1-800-465-8005.

tighten mortgage rules to address concerns over high Canadian household debt.

Lenders can only issue home equity loans up to a maximum of 80 per cent of a property’s value — down from 85 per cent. The biggest change of all is the shortening of the maximum amortization period for government-backed insured mortgages to 25 years from 30 years — forcing borrowers to pay back their debts sooner.

That will reduce the amount of interest they’ll pay over the life of the loan, but make mortgage payments larger as more debt gets paid back with each payment.

The changes will create the most headaches for cashstrapped first-time homebuyers and those consumers who are increasingly using their homes as ATMs. Still, experts argue this latest crackdown is for Canadians’ own good.

While the new rules may initially slow the economy, some say they’ll help improve the financial health of households over the long run. But they will also have ripple effects on many pockets of Canadian business including home builders, real estate agents, renovation industry and retailers.

So what is the mor-

al of the story? Inflation is real. Interest rates will rise. Live within your means.

And, don’t bite off more than you can chew. Perhaps we can avoid the repeat of the financial fiasco of the 1980s, which destroyed the hopes and dreams of so many Canadians.

Literature West Kootenay promotes illustrated book SUBMITTED

On Saturday, December 1, 1 p.m., at Castlegar’s Kootenay Gallery, a special pre-Christmas treat is being offered. Salmo author, M. Kathryn Bourdon and illustrator, Sandra Donohue, from Robson, will read and present The One Hundred Dollar Special – the Antics of a Rescue Cat to the young and the young

at heart. Another event will take place on Saturday, Dec. 8, at Café Books West, Rossland, where there will be another reading and presentation.

The story, written, published and printed in Canada, is the tale of a retired couple and visiting granddaughter, whose country home is overrun by mice.

Their plan to rid their

home of mice falls apart when Jewel, the cat they adopt from the S.P.C.A. shows no interest in hunting mice, but in getting into mischief.

The young and young at heart will enjoy hearing about how Jewel redeems herself, to her family’s relief. At both readings you will be able to get your book specially signed by Bourdon and Donohue.

Sports Wildcats fundraise for prairie trip Trail Staff West Kootenay Advertiser

The Kootenay Midget Wildcats hockey team has what it needs in terms of shooting, checking and goaltending, that’s what has earned it the rare opportunity to attend one of the best hockey tournaments in the country next month. Hard cash is now needed to finance the return trip.

The Wildcats have been invited to the Mandi Schwartz Memorial tournament at the Athol Murray College of Notre Dame in Wilcox, Sask. from Dec. 6-9.

The tournament is reserved for the most elite female midget teams in Canada and

We have the COOL STUFF for Christmas in two locations

WANETA PLAZA MALL Wildcats including (above from left) Lindsay Swanson, Stephanie McAuley, Anjela Szabo, Lauren Biggs, and Erin McLean are looking for support to help them get to Wilcox, Sask. next month. Jim Bailey photo

it is the first such invitation for a West Kootenay team.

The tournament is attended by scouts from across North America looking to recruit players to NCAA and Canadian colleges. Participation can make a big difference in the lives of these young women, by opening the possi-

bility to further their hockey and education through scholarships.

Organizers estimate expenses to be close to $20,000 and the team has partnered with the No Frills store to sell merchant cards to help raise money.

The Wildcats are made up of players from across the Kootenays, and compete

in the Provincial Female Major Midget AAA League, where they are currently in third place. They played a pair of games against the Thompson-Okanagan Rockets in Nakusp this past weekend.

To support the Wildcats contact manager Curtis Biggs at 357-9373.

Community Growing number of tributes for fallen friends CASTLEGAR STAFF With files from the Taber Times

Strong bonds are formed when friends share experiences, and when those events happen to occur on a regular basis the links grow even stronger.

For a group of bird hunting buddies, many from here in the West Kootenays, the trip to a favourite area near the town of Taber, Alberta has long been something to look forward to.

Such is the appeal of the get-away that one member of the unofficial club made the annual drive all the way from Quebec.

The hunters have been a fixture in the prairie location (about 30 km east of Lethbridge) each year since 1970, and Castlegar’s John Torbic, is a charter member of the party.

As colleagues have

Castlegar’s John Torbic pays respects to deceased friends during this year’s annual hunting trip to the southern prairies.

Submitted photo

passed away over the years their memories have been preserved at the hunting grounds by their surviving comrades.

Tributes to four departed marksmen stand solemnly by.

Ashes of their late friends have been spread on the land

they were so fond of visiting.

The list of those whom have gone on includes Garfield Nolan, age 42 of Trail in 1982; Jack Wallington, also of Trail, age 61; Glenn Martin, age 67; the man from Quebec mentioned above;

and the most recent hunter to be so honoured, four years ago – Bill Wade, 70, of Nelson.

Torbic, along with Montrose resident Glenn Smecher and Castlegar resident Dick Wiggen was on the scene this year and took the oppor-

tunity to take part in a gesture of tribute to the four amigos – the placing of flowers near the memorials along with a ceremonial swig from a bottle of beer or vodka to mark the occasion in a way they feel their buddies would appreciate.

Mr. Torbic told the West Kootenay Advertiser he’s been an avid hunter for as long as he can remember, and that he’s been to the southern prairie for the annual two-week excursion in each of the past 42 years, with the exception of a period of a few years back in the 80s, a time when he had work commitments abroad.

Torbic says he knows his ashes will one day join those of the others and he’s okay with joining “great people” and “good memories.”

Text messages: timely reminders for immunizations SUBMITTED

Vancouver – ImmunizeBC’s new automated text message immunization reminder will help parents stay up to date on their babies’ vaccinations.

New parents who sign up for the service will get automated text message reminders to make appointments with their

health care provider for their child’s 2, 4, 6, 12 and 18 month immunizations.

People of any age can also sign up to get reminders for other scheduled immunization appointments.

The reminders are especially helpful for any vaccination that requires multiple doses, such as the human papillomavirus vaccine (HPV)

program for young women born in 1991, 1992 and 1993.

Signing up to receive ImmunizeBC text message reminders is easy: Text “sign up” to 604-757-2705 or Visit www.immunizebc.ca and look for the Get Text Message Reminders link.

To stop receiving the messages at any time simply type in

“stop” to 604-7572705. To start again, type “start.”

Text messaging is one of several new features from ImmunizeBC to encourage immunization.

The ImmunizeBC website now offers a personalized vaccination calendar, public health unit finder, an interactive frequently asked questions (FAQ) application,

and a live chat session with a nurse during regular business hours.

You can also share your story about the value of immunization at www.ihaveimmunity.com.

It’s a provincewide initiative to raise awareness of the value of immunization through stories, resources and information.

It’s time to test your home for deadly and common radon gas Radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. Radon is a naturally occurring gas found in the ground throughout the world.

Most homes that are in contact with the ground will contain some amount of radon gas. Radon becomes more of a concern when it reaches high levels. Radon levels vary across the country. According to Health Canada about seven per cent of Canadian homes have radon levels that may be putting residents at risk. Here in the B.C. Interior we have some “hot spot” areas with high radon levels in approximately 40 per cent of homes.

Radon accumulates in low lying areas like basements. Radon in combination with tobacco smoke can increase the risk substantially. Health Canada estimates that one in three smokers exposed to high radon levels will develop lung cancer.

Radon gas is colourless, odourless and tasteless, so the only way to know if the radon levels in your home are high is to conduct testing. The

...have done anything different,” he said.

“All that information will come out at a later date.”

On Nov. 14, passengers were in the middle of deplaning at the Trail airport, when a person turned around and saw what he thought was fire and alerted the staff.

Fire retardant was deployed by the pilots although Pacific Coastal officials said there was never any fire.

Smith said what can happen during the shut down of a plane is that extra fuel can build up in the exhaust pipe and the excess that is shot out appears as flame.

best time to test is now through April. During the cooler months windows and doors are often closed and rising warm air in a home draws more radon from the ground.

Testing is easy and cheap, it involves placing a small puck-like

kit within the lowest area of the home that could be occupied for more than four hours per day. The kit should remain in that location for a minimum of

three months and then mailed to a laboratory for results.

Essentially, radon takes the path of least resistance, and resistance can vary between

Horoscope Michael O’Connor

for the

Week

November 30, 2012

Tip of the Week: 12-21-2012 may seem like an old story to some, yet here it is, on our doorstep. This key date is in direct alignment with Winter Solstice here in the Northern Hemisphere. In some respects it is a symbolic date. Despite the many calendars in Mayan Cosmology, it is said there are 17 main calendars, with the 5125 year Long Count Calendar being the longest, aside from the 25, 625 Precessional Cycle itself, it is the small yet ever so significant cycle of the Sun that marks the official end and beginning date of the new cycle, of which so many have spoken and written about over the past 25 years especially. The world view or cosmology of the Classical Maya reveals a deep sense of oneness. The modern notion that we are ‘in the world’ is contrary to this more holistic perception of most advanced ancestral cultures. That all of existence is intrinsically and intimately connected was a given to the ancient Mayans as well and the elders of that culture who have maintained a close adherence to the past continue to perceive that way.

Now even modern physics is proving that division and separation are relative illusions. So, 12-21-2012 may be best understood as a symbolic date that represents the rebirth of a mode of consciousness that will in time make our current collective modes of perception, where linear facts dominate, appear primitive. The impoverished notion that ‘there is only one God’ is steadily being replaced with the higher realization that ‘all of creation is one’. This is the more spiritual meaning of 12-21-2012 and it represents an opportune time to gather to celebrate this important feature of our collective evolution in consciousness.

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20)

LIBRA (SEP 22 – OCT 22)

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21)

SCORPIO (OCT 22 – NOV 21)

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUN 21)

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 21 – DEC 21)

CANCER (JUN 21 – JUL 22)

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 19)

An expansive and exciting cycle has begun, both within and without. Externally, you may be dealing with a busier than average schedule these days. Inwardly, many deep thoughts are running through your mind. Research, web searches and/or investigations of other kinds are featured. These are activating your passions and ambitions.

Rich, deep and passionate exchanges with significant others are a central theme these days. Sharing secrets and desires adds to the intimacy and perhaps the drama. Mergers and a deepening of commitments are part of the plot. These are activating courage and determination to assert yourself to realize a brighter future.

Circumstances are pushing you to take stock of your health and that of your overall lifestyle. Your financial health is probably in the mix. Giving more somehow is required. Gaining access to the right tools, techniques, methods and/or measures is important. This is a call to be extra sober and take your situation seriously. Yet avoid worry and remain calm as you follow through.

Bringing attention to needed changes in your daily rhythm and routine is the call now. You would like to feel more confident about things, but it may not feel so easy. Stepping up your efforts and level of discipline may feel necessary. It is said there are two main categories of emotion: love and fear. Focus on love to feel more secure, decrease stress and increase health.

LEO (JUL 22 – AUG 23)

Much is stirring within and this may be activating some of your fears. Yet, a new wave of creativity and enthusiasm is coming in. This is leading you to reach out and meet new people. These new connections stand to open doors you did not previously even know existed. Nurture these budding friendships with sincerity and full diplomacy.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 22)

Taking inventory of all that you have to offer and making lists of all that you want to have and achieve is an important focus. This trend will continue for the next few weeks. This clarity will activate your intuitions and open new doors, as if magically. Yet just thinking about it is not enough. Commit your ideas to written words and/or images for best results.

A break in the storm likely comes as a great relief. The past several weeks may have been pretty tough. Although a longer cycle requiring that you ‘pay your dues’ somehow will continue, at least a period of reprieve has begun and will unfold until year’s end anyway. Use this opening to reach out to make meaningful connections and increase your confidences.

The past few weeks have seen you take a much more assertive approach that you probably have for some time. With this momentum you are now in a process of building upon new foundations. Deciphering what is important and wise and how to best nurture a healthy approach and still achieve effective outcomes is your next major step.

While much is giving way and changing within, you are also feeling inspired to take some key initiatives without. With your ambitions on the rise to create a whole new foundation in your life, now is the time to focus and persevere. How things used to be is dissolving steadily now and your overall lifestyle is implied. Embrace the darkness to discern what is important.

While paying attention to the facts can be important and valuable getting lost in the details can be a problem. Too much thinking and not enough awareness is the issue – losing sight of the forest for the trees. This is a good time to step back, broaden your scope and release the tensions built up by having too much on your mind.

AQUARIUS (JAN 19 – FEB 19)

Freedom is a state most people desire. Yet, it is more seldom appreciated that freedom cannot be realized without discipline.

This is an important lesson for you now. Discipline implies a clear focus, realistic strategy and consistent follow through. Along the way resistance and/or blocks are encountered. Sometimes these come from within and must be overcome, like now.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 20)

The time has come to make your presence known. Your willingness and determination to be seen and heard will produce positive results. In order to build your confidences you will have to give more, to make extra efforts than usual. Deciphering how to break through lines of resistance or simple lack of recognition is the greater, long-term task.
