Driving education can be an important tool in a young person’s safety behind the wheel. While it’s not part of Kootenay Lake school district’s curriculum, local high schools do facilitate drivers education in many ways.

Mount Sentinal Secondary Principal Glen Campbell discussed the programs and opportunities students have that highlight the importance of driver safety offered through their school each year.

R e pre s e nt at i v e s from ICBC visit the South Slocan school as part of the Road Sense program with a speaker who talks about safe driving.

The topic details vary but they usually visit in April prior to graduation.

“It’s about making good choices,” said Campbell. “And it has an impact.”

Another annual program has the drama class team up with local emergency response providers in May. Along with the students, the RCMP, Fire Services, first responders, BC Ambulance, and the BC Coroners Office create a mock accident scenario for other students.

“It is a real test that is timed and played

out from start to finish including the final vehicle being towed away,” said Campbell.

Once the scenario is complete, students and participants reconvene in the gym to talk about these real scenarios. Emergency services get a chance to explain what is involved and the serious circumstances.

“Vehicles are very dangerous,” said Campbell. “It’s also a chance to acknowledge these folks. Most of them are volunteers. We all want the best for (the students) plus the kids are also exposed to these groups that they can join in the future.”

The P.A.R.T.Y. program is also a part of Health and Career classes and Planning 10.

“These accidents are very real occurrences unfortunately and they are very devastating, especially being a small community. These tragedies remind us to educate,” said Campbell.

In the event of a death or serious injury, the school provides counselling to students. “It’s obviously traumatic so we offer grief or trauma counselling,” said the principal.

Mt. Sentinal also facilitates driving courses with Driving Solutions. The six to eight week program runs each semes-

ter when there are enough registrants.

The course also earns a student two Grade 11 credits. It is arranged through the school’s rental agreement, is after school hours and is more convenient than the kids having to travel to Nelson or Castlegar for driver’s training.

Tim Hutteman, principal at Nelson’s L. V. Rogers Secondary echoed the impact of the Road Sense program that sponsors speakers who address the Grade 10 and 12 students at the beginning of May. This year’s speaker was a young man who got behind the wheel when drunk who ended up killing his buddy; Hutteman said this struck home with many students.

They focus on those two grades because the Grade 10s who are turning 16 are able to receive their “N” with the graduated licence system; and the Grade 12s are approaching graduation.

Local youth Maia Vezina spoke to the students two weeks ago about her experience recovering from a serious vehicle accident after being hit head on by a driver who allegedly had been drinking.

“Maia did a fabulous job,” said Hutteman, adding that her presentation gave spe-

cific examples of how to deal with tough social situations with friends who may have been drinking. Those example included taking away their car keys.

Another approach to road safety education can be found in the science and physics lab. RCMP Const. Bahnhart is an accident specialist who comes into the physics class room.

He speaks to them about the forces of friction, the effects of wet pavement on road skidding, the investigation process and the science behind it.

Unique to LVR is their LVTV they can broadcast to classrooms. They use the TV to share weather changes and how that might effect driving conditions with suggestions like speed reduction, change winter tires and seatbelt reminders.

In the event of a traumatic accident, all the Kootenay Lake schools have access to counsellors (LVR has two) and there is a District team who address the needs of students and family.

Hutteman said Counsellor Todd Kettner is a first responder on the team made up of Nelson City Police, administrators and school counsellors. All this supportive effort goes a long way in a crisis.

Speeding, distracted driving key concerns for West Kootenay youth GREG NESTEROFF West Kootenay Advertiser

After 29 years in traffic law enforcement, including 19 in West Kootenay, RCMP Cpl. John Ferguson has seen a shift in the leading causes of crashes among young people. Where alcohol and lack of seatbelts were once prime factors behind fatalities and serious injuries, today speed and distracted driving is more often to blame.

“When I first came here, we would get some very serious crashes with alcohol involved,” Ferguson says. “We haven’t had that lately and I’m hoping and praying we don’t. I find the majority of youth take things seriously when it comes to alcohol and getting behind the wheel.”

Likewise, seatbelts are second nature to most youth. Buckling up has always been mandatory in their lifetime, so it’s the first thing they do when they get in a car.

Going too fast and not paying attention are now the chief concerns police have with young drivers. “Speed is the No. 1 killer of youth,” Ferguson says. “We’re giving youth a lot of speed-

ing tickets.”

Under BC’s graduated license program, a single ticket means probation and a second ticket means losing your license. Even if you’re a month away from being able to remove the N sticker from your vehicle, a ticket will result in a minimum 30-day driving prohibition and starting all over again.

Distracted driving is a problem for all ages, but it’s the second-most prevalent cause of crashes among youth. Ferguson says the use of hand-held devices appears to be on the rise.

For young drivers, distractions can come not only from cell phones but from having more passengers than allowed.

Ferguson says they sometimes catch kids in that situation who are driving home drunk friends. While he appreciates their good intentions, he says they need to plan ahead. “When you’re driving, you need to concentrate.

If you put more people in the car, especially someone who’s drunk, that takes away from it.”

Ferguson, a Mountie for 34 years, is the acting officer in

RCMP Cpl. John Ferguson has spent 19 years trying to minimize traffic fatalities and injuries in West Kootenay. Greg Nesteroff photo

charge of West Kootenay Traffic Services.

He and four constables investigate all serious and fatal crashes in the region while the Integrated Road Safety Unit has five members who try to reduce crashes in key areas through a combination of enforcement and education.

He says when police cars are on the road, people tend to adjust their driving habits accordingly. “If they see a police car on Highway 3A, or 22, all over the place, our problems dimin-

ish. Every police car we can find goes out on long weekends.”

So far this year, West Kootenay has had two traffic fatalities, both in the Trail area, one involving a youth. In that case, speed and lack of seatbelts were blamed. In 2013, there were nine fatalities, including one youth who was speeding and texting.

In 2012, there were six fatalities, but no youths.

Ferguson says it’s never easy to break news of a death to a family, but it’s even

worse when young people are involved.

“Children and teenagers are very hard, especially if you have a child the same age,” he says. “It’s a parent’s worst nightmare to get the phone call or the knock on the door.” (These days, families sometimes learn through social media before police have a chance to tell them.)

Ferguson’s main message to parents is to know where your children are, restrict their vehicle use, and tell them they can

call you for a ride if they get into trouble.

“Make them understand the repercussions of their actions as much as you can.

When we’re young we all think we’re invincible.”

His message to young people is to use common sense. “I’m not naive. I know kids are going to drink underage. But do it responsibly. If you’re going to a house party, don’t take the car.

If you do, don’t drink.

Stay away from texting. It’s not so important to look at it while

you’re driving. Five seconds of distraction can have huge consequences.”

Ferguson said he wasn’t aware of any incidents following high school graduation ceremonies in Nelson this month and hopes that remains the case throughout the region.

“If I wake up Monday and my phone hasn’t rung all weekend, I’m very, very happy. It means no one has died in this area. That’s what I want.”

SHERI REGNIER West Kootenay Advertiser

Rows of gleaming chrome and highly polished custom paint jobs will be showcased at Gyro Park in Trail at the end of the month for the sixth annual Smoke n’ Steel car show.

So far, the West Kootenay Smoke n’Steel Car Club is expecting about 100 vehicles, but the number grows weekly, and this year spectators could see some first time entrants roar into town from south of the border.

Along with the club’s new executive, new show date (June 28) comes interest from car clubs in the Spokane area, said

first term club president Greg Thompson.

“One of our new executives is heavily involved in clubs in the Spokane area and he has found them to be interested so we are waiting to see how many show up,” Thompson explained.

“It could be a significant increase on top of what we have had in the past which is about 130 cars.”

Usually the “Cruisin’ the Columbia” open car show is in late May or early June, but the date was pushed back this year in hopes of landing on a day full of sunshine instead of rain showers.

“It’s worked out well because we had a little more time to or-

ganize,” said Thompson. “And hopefully a little better weather than the past because we know the more

sun, the more people.”

Besides giving visitors a chance to admire automotive culture from a variety of styles and different eras, the show promises live entertainment, a memorabilia booth, a tire demonstration, local dealerships on site and a variety of food offerings during its 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. run.

The Gyro Park food concession will be open, street fare such as barbeque pulled pork and fire roasted peaches will be on the menu, and a wandering street magician will be getting up close and personal with his tricks, said

“The automotive hobby is a portable work of art with intricate paint jobs, hours put into it and a lot of money,” said Thompson. “But above and

beyond that, it is a social event where people get up to talk to each other and enjoy some food together.

“And it’s not just a man’s hobby, these days more and more

ladies are also getting their hands dirty,” he added. “Why not?”

Last year, over 130 entrants from as far away as Enderby came out for the West Kootenay Smoke and Steel

Car Club’s annual event.

About 3,000 people passed through the park to check out the cars and venue, and Thompson is hoping for repeated success

this year.

“All I can say is come on out folks,” he said. “We really hope people will come and appreciat what the locals and out-of-towners have done.”

“Thank you, I think I’ve got the apexes about right,” he grinned. Hours earlier, it’s doubtful he had even heard of the tricky track, nevermind driven it.

Harkening back to his references to happy endings, I reminded him that after driving with me last year he had enjoyed nothing but success.

“That’s right . . . it’s all down to you,” he said with what I believed was a thoroughly genuine smile of appreciation.

The end was nigh. Time flies when you are having fun: our hot lap and friendly chat took less than four minutes.

Last Sunday, he enjoyed only his second podium finish of the year taking third place at the Montreal Grand Prix.

You’re welcome, Seb. Same time next year, in the Eau Rouge?

“There haven’t been too many of those lately,” he joked, pressing harder on the metal, perhaps to make a point.

As Infiniti Director of Performance, Vettel is truly playing a role in the development of future road products, rather than merely offering his name as a celebrity endorsement. He talked enthusiastically about the new compact, performance-oriented Q30, which should see the light late next year in Europe and a little later in Canada.

The 328-horsepower 3.7-litre V6 Q50S we were riding in also benefitted from a little of his input. He’s clearly looking forward to Infiniti giving the go-ahead to the Q50 Eau Rouge concept, which features the Nissan GT-R’s growling 560-horsepower twin-turbo V6.

Another corner loomed and I leaned into the door, as he barely slowed from the rapid pace we had zipped along the straight.

“Your cornering has improved since last year,” I offered cheekily.

Zoom-Zoom goes flash and boom

By Zack Spencer

With a flash of lightning beside our car, my co-pilot Alexandra Straub let out a screech as loud as the accompanying crack from the massive flash.

Pouring rain in our tiny car made the very first day of the 2014 Mazda rally one to remember. The Mazda MX-5 (Miata) is a car most would associate with sunny, summer top-down driving but this little machine was determined to show what it was made of.

The howling wind, torrential rain and debris-covered roads were all taken in stride as we carved our way through the Tennessee mountains on our way to the Brasstown Valley Resort in neighboring Georgia.

Over the next three days, we experienced the MX-5 on some of the most dramatic and scenic roads this continent has to offer, and there was money on the line, big money.

Last year was the inaugural Mazda Rally, which Alexandra and I won, taking home $10,000 in charity money for Kidsport. As last year’s champions, we had extra pressure

Certain messages need to be repeated several times

‘‘

There is so much goodness dialled into this little car that it rewards the driver and passenger hourafter-hour.

’’

Zack Spencer

this year to repeat, something we later found out would be much tougher than we had imagined.

If you ever take a drive through the south east of the United States, do yourself a favour and divert away from the interstate highway system and experience driving nirvana, traversing the Blue Ridge, Unico and Smokey Mountain ranges. The lush National and State parks along with small towns and twisting river valleys is something to experience.

This is a destination for drivers too, especially the “Tail of the Dragon”, a section of

highway 129, just inside the North Carolina border that has 318 turns over an 18km stretch. This is a favourite of motorcycle riders but it is open to anyone wanting to experience back-to-back corners ranging from very tight to wide, sweeping turns. Our run up this road was wide open thanks to steady rain, with a few dozen motorcyclists out for a tour and several photographers taking pictures, then selling them to tourist, the same way you can buy a picture of your rollercoaster ride at the PNE! Paved roads are the place the MX-5 shines, wet or dry. It never felt like the car was out of control, even on the fastest and most aggressive corners.

There is so much goodness dialled into this little car that it rewards the driver and passenger hour-after-hour. With a front engine, rear drive setup and perfect weight distribution, the MX-5 has been one of my all-time favourite cars because of its simplicity.

The small, light, thrifty dimensions matched to a raspy 2.0L 4-cylinder and 6-speed manual makes for a fantastic power-to-weight distribution, meaning the 160hp engine

might not sound like much on paper but, in practice, it makes the most of every situation.

One thing Mazda’s event planners has us do was drive and collect information for each days challenges. All of these were kept secret until the beginning of each drive, including the roads we might travel. A surprise was that some sections were unpaved.

Taking Mazda’s brand new MX-5 through forest backroads at speed, meant rocks flying, branches felled from the previous night’s storm kicking up, sliding sideways through corners and pounding over rough and rutted gravel.

At the end, the MX-5 showed no signs of wear; it just powered on to the next challenge, which was another surprise, the Atlanta Motorsports Park for an autocross challenge. To say we went from one extreme to the other is an understatement. An hour earlier I was sliding across gravel roads, followed by sliding around a racetrack trying to avoid pylons to dial in my best lap time. As it turns out I did get the second best time of the event but one of those

WEST KOOTENAY

e n’Steel k o m S 6th Annual

Cruizn the Columbia

pylons got in the way, knocking down my time by two seconds, all part of the challenge’s rules.

Over the three-day event, Alexandra and I didn’t have one disagreement, I made some navigational errors and so did she. We let it roll, these were long days and we hoped a few small glitches wouldn’t impact our score too much.

We also missed one major clue in our guidebook, one that was worth a whopping 50 points. At the end, we had slipped from second place after the first day to fifth place.

Sadly, next year we won’t be able to proudly display the number one on the side of our Black Press car. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Raising cash for charity and turning heads along the way

By Alexandra Straub

The Supercar: It’s something anyone of any age can appreciate.

The design. The engineering. The way the engine and exhaust purrs – or roars – when you push on the throttle.

They are the culmination of the workmanship of talented individuals who dedicate their lives to crafting components that are then distributed globally. Now put

more than 100 of these machines together (111 to be exact) and the appreciation factor goes up 110-fold. To some, Supercars are a gaudy form transportation. An arrogant display of wealth.

To others, works of art.

But to the group who participated in the second annual Diamond Rally, it’s more than just a showcase of imported engineering or customization. It’s about a great cause. It’s for charity.

I’m not going out on a limb when I say that car enthusiasts love to see amazing cars, regardless of context.

What’s more, it’s even cooler when a group of them travel together up one of the most incredible drives in the world: the Sea-to-Sky Highway. What started off last year with 42 cars quickly grew to three digits. Each entering car chose a charity to raise funds for.

As the day was ramping up,

the Brian Jessel BMW dealership in Vancouver was overrun with vehicles ranging from a 1957 Ford Thunderbird (it was quite the car back in the day, and still is) to the Lamborghini Aventador. Along with Nissan GT-Rs, Maseratis, Porsches, Ferraris, and more. Even the brand new BMW i8, which had yet to be driven on Canadian soil, broke ground and was the lead car in the day’s event.

Raising cash for charity and turning heads along the way

Pick of the Week: You need not be a Formula 1 fan to enjoy this computer-generated film about the Red Bull Ring, the location for this coming weekend’s Austrian Grand Prix.

It features the man from today’s Driveway cover story – four-time World Champion Sebastian Vettel and Infiniti-Red Bull Racing’s young gun Daniel Ricciardo racing around the track. Driving RB10s, Daniel and Sebastian explain the track’s unique characteristics as they dual around the 4.3 km circuit. As the Red Bull racers contend with changing weather conditions, they explain the circuit’s elevation changes, the four best overtaking opportunities, the track’s nine corners and the four high-speed stretches. In certain sections of the circuit, Sebastian’s RB10 becomes transparent, showing the intricate inner details of his 2014 racecar. http://bit.ly/1jsHBTA keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

continued from page B4

The route would take us along the spectacular Seato-Sky highway, with a stop in Squamish and then the main rendezvous in Whistler. Fellow motorists were pleasantly surprised when they spotted the exotics driving beside them on the world famous road.

My ride? – The humble, all new, BMW M4. I say humble because I had nowhere near as much horsepower (this only generates 425) as some, or most, of my fellow drivers.

‘‘

To some, Supercars are a gaudy form transportation.

’’

Alexandra Straub

But what I did have was the “wow” factor. Clad in an extremely eye-catching Austin Yellow Metallic coat, she was quite the sight to see.

What made it even more

special? It’s a 6-speed manual.

Unsuspecting admirers didn’t catch me overhearing their conversations including, “Dude, this one’s a stick. Awesome.”

Yes, some people actually talk like that.

Though it may not have garnered nearly as much attention as some of my fellow rallyers, it still brought smiles to people’s faces.

That’s what I think the event is all about.

So did the drive route.

Craig Stowe, Founder of the Diamond Rally and Canada’s own Luxury & Supercar Weekend mentions, “There is a new breed of supercar owners who are rallying together to individually raise awareness and money for the charity of their choice.”

He also comments that Vancouver is supercar crazy, and that there are more luxury and supercars per capita then any other city in North America .

“There is nothing like 111 spectacular cars rallying up the 99 highway to bring awareness to many worthy charities.

The mean, lean, Mustang machine

By Bob McHugh

The 2011 model year edition of the Ford Mustang, coupe and convertible, came with a more menacing frontal appearance and, under hood, new engines produced more power with less fuel. So, you could also call it the “meaner and leaner” revamp.

Appearance changes on the 2011 included new headlights and revised lower

2011 Mustang coupe

fascias, fenders and grille, plus a power-dome hood that allows additional air cooling to the Mustang’s new engines. At the back, new three-light LED lamps sequentially signal a turn, reminiscent of the muscle car years.

The Mustang GT convertible models came with improved body rigidity with 12 per cent more lateral stiffness versus the previous year. In addition to

newly strengthened structural members, under its hood you’ll also find a (race-style) tower-to-tower strut brace.

Even the new base 3.7-litre V6 engine packs a punch as it can deliver 305 horsepower and can rev to 7000 rpm. Its rated city/highway fuel economy is an impressive 10.7/6.4 L/100km. And its power-to-weight ratio is almost double the previous base engine offering.

Moving up a trim the Mustang GT has a 5.0-litre V8 under its hood. This engine is also a four-valve, allaluminum engine, only this one is can pump-out 412 horsepower. And sounds great doing it! City/highway fuel consumption is rated at 11.8/7.9 L/100km and a larger (cast aluminum) oil pan also extends oil change intervals.

tus and reliability has been average to better-thanaverage, with the V6 engine versions being slightly more dependable.

The 2012 model year brought the re-introduction of a Boss 302 coupe edition, with a high-output 5.0-litre V8, plus a new Premium trim level of the V6 edition. Selectable electric power-assisted steering, with Comfort, Sport and Normal settings, also became standard on all models.

The 2013 Mustang got lighting that is even more

horsepower and it can also deliver over 600 ft-lb of tire-smoking torque.

On the inside, a Mustang offers two-plus-two seating, which translates to limited leg and head room for the rear seat occupants.

While Mustang’s trunk is not huge, it’s a little bigger and easier to access than the trunk in arch-rival Chevrolet Camaro.

Both the Coupe and the Convertible editions of Mustang claim very good crash test safety ratings.

Ideal big truck for a big truck guy You can feel your voice get deeper when you climb aboard this big guy.

The 2014 Chevy Silverado HD I tested recently featured a 6.6-litre Duramax Turbo V8 diesel engine, mated to an Allison 6-speed automatic transmission, capable of putting out 397 horses and provides 765 lb ft of torque.

It gets deeper. This guy can carry up to 1706 kg and tow up to 8119 kg. And the truck box has load-bearing upper hooks are rated to hold 113

all standard.

Roadworthy The steering is very direct and responsive and makes driving a large truck very easy. There is no fighting the steering wheel which can be a problem with other trucks in this category. The cab is very quiet and you can barely hear any road or tire noise. The diesel engine is a little noisy but not a big concern. The EZ lift tailgate is a nice feature, especially opening with one hand,

dash could have been better, lots of plastic and not that appealing.

Safety There is a single stage driver and front passenger airbag.

An OnStar protection service is available, and offers direct communications between emergency services and the vehicle.

An electronic immobilizer is standard equipment and prevents the vehicle from being started without the key. Forward collision alert, lane departure warning and safety alert driver seat are

kg each.

Interior The interior is very well organized, comfortable leather 12-way front bucket seats that are heated and cooled.

The rear seats are a 60/40 split. Heavy use of dark wood burl is very prominent and gives the truck a different level of sophistication.

The navigation screen is positioned perfectly and is easy to program without distracting you from the road.

Steering wheel controls help with all radio functions and incoming phone calls. The

Ian Harwood Ian Harwood has been involved in the light truck industry for the past 30 years. His career started with the opening of a small 4-wheel drive shop in the early 80s. This shop was involved in custom fabrication, complete 4x4 rebuilds, and sales of off-road related products. This would prepare him for his current position as Manager for Custom Truck Parts, one of the largestaccessory warehouses in Canada.

Ian started his journalism career in the late 1090s with a column in a national magazine for automotive enthusiasts. In the spring of 2005 Ian was approached by a local news outlet to write a weekly column.

Wilderness exploring, fishing and four wheeling have been his passion since he was a teenager.

Some memorable moments in Ian’s career are flying in by hto the famous Rubicon Trail in Northern California and driving a 2007 Jeep Wrangler out of the backwoods, up a waterfall and out of the trail to Lake Tahoe. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

the engine delivers enough torque to move the truck up the hill.

Verdict Not too long ago driving a heavy duty truck with a diesel engine meant you were in for a bumpy ride, not to mention the noise and smell of diesel fuel. Not now. Fast forward to today and the ride is smooth, the noise is greatly reduced and you can hardly smell the fuel. These trucks still work hard as ever, but are also used as mobile offices, meeting rooms, and for family outings.

Learn the proper way to rotate tires

Rotating tires is something that many people do religiously while others put off the task until they notice a problem with the car’s performance. An important component of vehicle up-

keep, rotating tires not only extends the life of the tires, but it also helps ensure safer driving.

There are some who are unfamiliar about how and when to rotate the tires

and the benefits this routine maintenance can provide.

This also could be a factor in why people procrastinate on tire rotation.

One may not realize that the front tires often bear

main motive power for the vehicle, according to Edmunds.com. The frequent use and requirements of the tires produces friction on the road, and eventually heat. The front tires wear

more quickly than the rear tires. In order to extend the life of the tires, drivers must periodically rotate them.

Tire rotation essentially means moving the front tires to the rear and vice-

the brunt of the work in vehicle operation. Making turns or parallel parking requires the force of the front tires. Vehicles that are front-wheel-drive have front tires that supply the

versa. This means the front passenger side tire will be moved to the back passenger side position. The same thing will occur on the driver’s side. There’s a reason for this. Tires have unique wear patterns that are related to the suspension and the alignment. Should you switch the tires in a crisscross pattern, it could affect the alignment and lead to a bumpy ride.

These scenarios can depend on the vehicle and the tire, however. Certain vehicles have tires of different sizes in the rear and front, which prevents front-to-back rotation. There are also cars that have tires that are unidirectional, where they are specific to one side of the car and asymmetrical, with a tread pattern that changes from the inside of the tire to the outside. Though these tires are rare, you can’t rotate them at all.

Tire rotation is adviseable to preserve balanced handling, traction and even outer tire wear. But how often should it be done? Many tires should be rotated every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, even if they don’t show signs of wear. Some service stations will do tire rotation at the same time that oil changes are done because the car is already on a lift.

Don’t expect tire rotation to correct wear problems due to worn mechanical parts or as the result of improper inflation pressure. Rotation is not the only tire maintenance task to do to ensure safe tires.

Horoscope Michael O’Connor

for the

Week June 20, 2014

Tip of the Week: Summer officially begins at 3:51 am PDT on June 21st. It is conveniently marked by Summer Solstice the day when the Sun achieves its zenith in its annual cycle here in the Northern Hemisphere. More commonly we recognize it to be the day of the year when the hours and minutes of daylight are at their maximum. Since this cycle has been occurring for literally billions of years we tend to take it for granted, especially now in our modern technological era. Yet it is hardly an arbitrary event since life on our planet, including the human species, has literally evolved in the context of it. It is from Astrology that we get the notions of our distinct `nature`.

Most people relate to their `Sun Sign` and the characteristics given to it. Of course, we are all a unique blend of all the archetypes and this can be quite confusing for those less inclined to observe or acknowledge the character traits emanating brightly from those under each sign. Sometimes the characteristics are physically obvious while at others they are more psychological. As well, due to other influences, some are distinctly uncharacteristic of their sign. When this is the case the Natal Chart always plainly reveals why, when the principles of how Astrology are well understood.

Cancer is characterized as the most emotional, sentimental, family and security oriented sign of the Zodiac. Cancerians often possess an active, practical imagination guided by a strong adherence to reason for the sake of security and rationalized defence. Certainly, some will express these basic qualities more strongly than others. Empathy is another common characteristic especially for those with the Moon in Cancer which is commonly found in the Birth Charts of nurses.

P.S. The New Moon in Cancer occurs on June 27 at 1:08 am PDT. Happy Solstice!

You are ready or at least in the mood to begin projects that have likely been brewing on your mind for a while. This trend will continue and even increase over the coming weeks. Though you are covering a lot of ground and even diving deep in your mind, your body may be lagging behind. It will catch up by July. Meanwhile, measure twice now and cut once later.

Although a busy time continues, it will take a decidedly creative turn this week. The time has come to move beyond chores, tasks and errands and enter into a more inspired cycle. This feeling will become increasingly clear over the coming weeks and will continue for many months more. The main question now is to answer what dream ambition do you want to achieve.

Good health is a corner stone of feeling secure and the one you need to ensure now. While nutrition and exercise are obvious factors, feeling inspired is important too. Creative expressions of beauty will do the trick. Though your focus stands to be sharp now, don’t limit yourself to just one front. Variety is the Gemini spice.

An expansive and exuberant cycle is on the rise. But first you have tasks to complete. These require close attention to detail and you may not feel quite up to it. This is probably especially true at home and late spring cleaning and even renovations are implied.

Does it help to say it will be all over soon and the effort worthwhile? Trust and accept the flow.

The urge to duck behind the scenes will become more evident starting this week. Quality time shared with family is quite likely.

Either way, know that some rather deep psychological themes and issues may get stirred. Awareness is ever a key contributor to responding verses reacting. Fortunately, your energy levels should be up and you will enjoy familiar company.

Your confidence levels may be vacillating these days and this could prove especially true this week. Some review and refinement in your public and professional life may be required. Reflection, review and constructive criticism are featured. Since this is destined to occur now, take it on but avoid taking it too personally.

Some significant initiatives and graduations are keeping you busy now. Altogether these could amount to a dizzying world wind of activity, but fun too. Whether sooner or later, they also stand to coincide with some soul searching as in who are you know and what constitutes clearly defined roles and goals. Answers will come though it could take a month or two.

A rather deep, philosophical and perhaps zany cycle has begun. The good news is that it stands to be quite stimulating and provide moments of striking brilliance. You still may feel more inclined to listen more and speak less. Your private and secretive seed is getting extra stimulation. Investigations into mysteries and unanswered questions will prove enticing.

A steady flow of outgo continues to make room for the new inflow. As cycles go, you should be experiencing a good deal of both these days. This is a major cycle that began almost two years ago and will continue through to the end of this year with even a few trickles next. The main thing is that you are flexible and make room for the new, in your heart and mind as well as home.

Some promising fresh starts on relationship fronts will become evident this week. These will stimulate your imagination in varied and intricate ways. A creative and even inventive streak will be activated. You may feel inspired or compelled to shake it up at home. One way or another you are ready for something new and the status quo must change.

Making needed improvements in you, and your living space continues. This is linked to both cultivating your talents and to increasing the flow of abundance. Finances are a likely focus in this regard, yet you may simply be seeking new inspirations. Either way, you want to create more beauty and experience increased stability in your world.

A creative cycle has begun. Yet it will require that you be willing to go the distance and meet it wherever it asks. There may be a variety of fronts as well so get ready to cover a lot of ground. Fortunately, you are in the mood to venture a highway or two. Quality time shared with family and friends will prove uplifting. Anticipate some emotional manoeuvering as well.
