Council hosts public hearing for retail stores NORA O’MALLEY nora.omalley@westerlynews.ca

Ucluelet’s municipal council hosted a public hearing on Sept. 9 to give residents the opportunity to voice their opinions regarding two proposed cannabis retail stores.

The turnout was mild, with only four Ucluetians standing up to express their views on cannabis sales in their town.

Two applicants, ‘Ucluelet Cannabis Co.’ located behind the Ucluelet Liquor Store at 1786 Peninsula Road and ‘Platinum Cannabis’ located on 1972 Peninsula Road between Abbondanza’s Pizza and Vancouver Island Hydroponics, are being considered as cannabis retailers.

Joe Corlazzoli voiced his concerns about selling cannabis in Ucluelet.

“I’ve been in Ucluelet all my life and I don’t think our town is ready for this. There are a lot of young minds here. I’m not telling people what to do, it’s recreational, I don’t care, but I don’t feel that the town is ready,” said Corlazzoli. “I know deep down that you’re not going to be able to police all the restrictions. I was a kid here myself. At 16-years-old I could get booze anytime I wanted. And now, you’re opening another door.”

David Smith took to the podium with further concerns.

“I get that this makes good business sense, but this doesn’t make sense for our town.” Smith said.

The mood in Port Alberni is somber after news of a bus crash on Bamfield Road on Sept. 13, which resulted in two fatalities and multiple injuries.

Two University of Victoria students were killed after a bus crashed en route to the Marine Sciences Centre at Bamfield as part of a two-day class trip. The bus was carrying 48 people, including the driver, at the time of the accident.

Three people were airlifted to Victoria General Hospital with injuries, while the rest of the passengers were taken to a reception centre set up by the City of Port Alberni at the Echo Community Centre.

“It’s an awful situation,” said Mayor Sharie Minions the following morning. “Especially when you hear that it’s a group of young people. I think a lot of people are really feeling the impacts of this.”

Minions said she is proud of the response that was pulled together by the city. Echo Centre staff, led by parks, recreation and heritage director Willa Thorpe, opened the reception centre in the middle of the night so uninjured pas-

sengers could receive warmth, food and an opportunity to contact their families. City CAO Tim Pley was also up all night coordinating the efforts.

“I’ve seen a big improvement with city staff, recognizing that we have an important role to support people in a situation like this, whether it’s within the city limits or not,” said Minions. “I think the city really stepped up and did as much as they could to make a horrible situation for these people as comfortable as possible.”

While the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District is usually responsible for emergency planning and services, the ACRD was not involved in this incident.

“In this case, I don’t believe ACRD staff was mobilized,” said Minions. “At the City we have a lot more resources and in a case like this we just jump into action.”

Port Alberni Fire Department Fire Chief Mike Owens said the department received the call at 9:45 p.m. on Friday night and responded to the scene of the incident. A bus had rolled 20 feet down an embankment near the 36-kilometre marker near the Carmanah

Main Junction. The cause of the incident is still unclear.

“The bus was overturned, it was on its side,” Owens explained. “We needed to utilize rope rescue equipment to get down to the bus.”

In the bus, they found two deceased individuals, as well as one person that required extrication. Others had made it up the embankment either on their own or with assistance.

Bamfield Road is an approximately 85 km stretch of mostly gravel road between the communities of Port Alberni and Bamfield. The city, ACRD and other coastal communities have been calling for safety improvements to Bamfield Road for years.Minions said she travelled the road over the summer and was “appalled” by the condition.

“We all know that Huu-ayaht [First Nations] has really been leading the charge for improvements to the Bamfield Road,” she added. “The city has reached out to the province and requested safety improvements to that road as well. It will continue to be a push. There’s a lot of work to be done, and situations like last night really highlight that.”

Entangled baby humpback rescued ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

A baby humpback is swimming freely once again after spending roughly four weeks entangled in prawn fishing gear.

A researcher with the Bamfield Marine Centre spotted the calf swimming with its mother near Folger Island in Barkley Sound on Sept. 9 and immediately reported it to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

“The marine mammal rescue crew launched and spent six hours working to successfully disentangle the calf,” DFO spokesperson Lara Sloan told the Westerly News.

Within about five minutes of the report coming in, DFO Marine Mammal Coordinator Paul Cottrell was hopping on a float plane and he arrived at the scene less than two hours later, joining fishery officers to assess the situation, which looked grim.

“It basically had four wraps of rope around the head and the whole tail stock and fluke were a mass of ropes…It was just a rat’s nest. There was probably 20 wraps around the tail stock and then longitudinal with the fluke,” he said.

“The calf was trumpet-blowing and showing signs of distress. It was obviously not comfortable and the ropes were already digging into both the fluke and the dorsal side.

It was obviously painful for this poor calf.”

He added the rescue team had to be extra cautious

A heroic rescue effort successfully cut a humpback calf free from fishing gear on Sept. 9. because the young animal’s mother was swimming alongside, sometimes touching her calf, causing concern that she might become entangled as well or become aggressive.

“You really never know how the mom’s going to react when you’re having to get in close quarters with a calf and the calf’s in distress. It’s a highly unpredictable situation because sometimes moms can be quite aggressive,” he said.

“So, this was one where we had to be extremely careful.

The mom was stressed when the calf was stressed, so we had to disengage a number of times because she would do a high energy breach very close to us.”

He said the calf itself was an enormous 25-foot patient for the crew to work with and that tranquilizers are not used on

whales due to concerns over dosage and potential drownings.

“These animals are massive, they’re powerful and it really is dangerous,” he said. “The mom is 45 feet long and a tremendous, powerful, animal that could create havoc if you’re not careful. It’s very nerve wracking, but yet you have to be patient, calm and collected.”

He said the six-hour rescue was full of “up and down” moments, but the end result “couldn’t have gone better,” and the calf showed high energy as it swam away after he had cut the last piece of rope off.

“The calf just took off like a shot…It’s really hard to describe the euphoria of all that effort coming together and being successful. There’s

nothing like it for sure,” he said adding the calf joined its mom and swam off. “They started swimming together at the surface, which was cool to see.”

He said the crew watched the animal to confirm no entanglements remained.

“Any type of gear on an animal can kill it overtime because it works into the blubber and it can get infected and it’s just awful,” he said adding the calf suffered some superficial injuries, but will survive. “There’s going to be some scarring, but not life threatening at all…It’s great that this calf’s going to have a chance to hopefully grow up to be an adult animal that contributes to the population.”

He said the gear the calf had been wrapped up in was identified as recreational prawn gear that was set in Barkley

Sound and the gear’s owner told DFO it had been missing for roughly four weeks.

“Any vertical line in the water is a potential entanglement situation,” Cottrell said adding the gear’s owner is not facing any charges as the gear was active and the entanglement accidental.

“Our first pillar obviously is prevention, but if we have vertical lines in the water, we’re going to have the potential for entanglement, that’s just how it works unfortunately…

We’re continually looking at that and implementing any management measures that may help.”

Surfrider Pacific Rim hosted an eight-day shoreline cleanup in the Broken Group Islands last month where 70 per cent of the debris collected came from the fishing and aquaculture industries, according to chapter manager Lilly Woodbury.

“While it’s incredible and fortunate that the Marine Mammal Rescue team was able to disentangle the humpback calf on Sept 9, it is not enough to address this issue by dealing with it reactively.

We need to work together to address the root of the problem to prevent these tribulations from occurring in the first place,” Woodbury told the Westerly.

Anyone who spots a marine mammal in distress must immediately report their sighting to DFO’s marine mammal incident hotline 1-800-465-4336.

Retail cannabis stores considered From A1

“Do we need a store that sells mind altering drugs, some of which will enter the hands of our youth no matter what we do?..Adolescence up to 25-years-old are more susceptible to developing psychosis and schizophrenia from cannabis use. It changes the makeup of the neural pathways of the brain of developing youth, possibly irreversibly. Some would argue that alcohol is the same thing and that we have liquor stores in this town already. But, we’re not here to talk about the use of alcohol.

It sends the wrong message to our youth that using cannabis is a good thing. Why make it easier to get new drugs?”

Margaret Morrison offered her thoughts on the issue on behalf of the Westcoast Com-

munity Resources Society.

“Through the work of the Resources Society, we encounter many people who experience adverse affects of alcohol, whether they have consumed by themselves or, say, with a partner, and there is a decided lack of resources to be able to support people who have these adverse experiences that may be routed in the consumption of various substances and that the same would be true for those that access cannabis, whether for recreation or medicinal purposes,” said Morrison, the non-profit’s executive director.

“Were we more prepared with resources more readily available to support people who might have adverse experiences, this might be a

more suitable application to consider at this time,” she went on to say.

Sally Mole, who served on Ucluelet’s municipal council from 2013-2018, spoke in favour of the cannabis retail applicants.

“Education is going to be key. I learned a lot over the last couple years when my friend was dying of cancer, all different kinds of strains that affect you in different ways,” she said. “I like the idea of having another business in town and, I think, the big thing for me [is] I know that, as adults, we can get pot in town and what really worries me is we don’t really know what we are getting. The fentanyl [issue] is serious. If we have a store that is storing a quality product we

know is clean, that gives me a little comfort.”

Applicant Andrew Hanson collected 92 signatures from locals confirming they have no objections with a cannabis retail store being located behind the Ucluelet Liquor Store at 1786 Peninsula Road.

The District of Ucluelet also received three letters opposing its Larch Road location due to the possible increase in traffic density to the area.

Hanson’s provincial application has store hours of 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. The entrance of the store would face into the courtyard of 1786 Peninsula.

Hanson said the proposed site plan includes new landscaping along Larch Street and would be “low-key.”

Applicant Kyle Shane is the

founder of Platinum Cannabis, which currently has five cannabis retailer applications in process with the federal government.

“I’m a medical cannabis patient myself,” Shane told Ucluelet council. “I have a serious back problem and my stomach has a bulge of some sort. Sometimes the pain gets really bad and I know this isn’t about medical cannabis right now, but having a resource for even me or anybody to come to for anxiety or depression is a huge opportunity.”

No discussion or voting took place during the Sept. 9 public hearing. Mayor and council will put the cannabis retail applications to vote at a Special Council Meeting on Sept. 18 at 3:30 p.m.

B.C. VIEWS

Value-added industry slowly grows as big sawmills close Another bruising week for B.C.’s forest industry featured the indefinite shutdown of Tolko Industries’ sawmill at Kelowna, and the halt of what was left of Vancouver Island and Fraser Valley logging by contractors for Teal-Jones Group, which runs three mills in Surrey.

That’s 600 more mill workers either out of a job or soon to be as their log supply runs out, plus contracted loggers and haulers. Add that to Interfor’s permanent closure of the century-old Hammond Cedar sawmill in Maple Ridge and West Fraser’s move to “variable operating schedules” at its sawmills and plywood plants at Williams Lake, Quesnel, 100 Mile House, Chetwynd and Fraser Lake. All in a 10-day period, and all due to the usual mixture of low lumber prices, high log costs, diminished log supply and U.S. trade sanctions. Teal-Jones added two more factors in its second decision this summer to lay off loggers:

“I’m expecting we’re going to hear “Current high stumpage rates remain high relative to lumber prices, and about this in the Interior renewal proharvesting costs have been adversely cess that we’re undertaking as well,” impacted by new regulations to bring Donaldson told me. “Wood left in out more residual waste fibre.” slash piles that could be used for other Stumpage, the province’s Crown purposes is consistent.

And the NDP analysis that it’s economical to bring that wood out.” has cracked down on residual waste, B.C. Liberal forest critic John Rustad says the charging triple stumpage on any wood left behind new residual rules pile on harvesting costs at the that is deemed to be economically usable.

Forests Minister Doug Donaldson says the worst possible time, and it’s backfiring as logging residual wood program is just getting going, de- slows rather than running at a loss. Instead of getfining economic hauling zones, and may need ting extra residual wood, pulp mills are grinding some adjustments. But industry should get used more logs to keep going, he says. to it. The days of huge slash piles left behind after Traditionally, residual fibre is collected by a the sawlogs are trucked out are coming to an end, second logging crew, mainly for pulp. Nowadays and not just on the B.C. coast. we also have pellet manufacturers feeding power

plants in Europe, and value-added producers making everything from log homes to windows, doors, siding and other specialty products. Donaldson wants all usable wood taken out on the “first pass” of logging. Donaldson made his first visit to the Global Buyers Mission event in Whistler last week. It’s the 16th annual trade show held

by B.C. Wood, the value-added manufacturers group. Held in the ski resort that symbolizes B.C. wood construction world-wide, it had 270 industry representives hosting buyers from 20 countries, including Australia, Mexico, the U.K., the U.S., India, Japan and China. B.C. Wood’s tracking system reports $38 million in sales from the Global Buyers Mission last year, Donaldson said. And some specialty products are made from residual wood that doesn’t fit the traditional measure of eight-foot construction lumber.

Council hears concerns over alcohol abuse ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Concerns over an increase in alcohol use outweighed a potential decrease in downtown traffic and parking congestion as Tofino’s municipal council rejected an application for a new liquor store last week.

The rejection illustrated a growing movement against alcohol use in the community and reflected a change of heart for council, which had voted in favour of moving the application ahead when it was first proposed in the spring.

Council had reviewed the liquor store application during their May 28 regular meeting where councillors Tom Stere and Duncan McMaster each expressed vehement opposition to increasing the town’s access to alcohol, but were outnumbered by support from mayor Josie Andrea McQuade Osborne and councillors Britt Chalmers, Al Anderson and Andrea McQuade.

Council’s May 28 vote gave district staff permission to work with the applicant to create a bylaw that would have allowed Tofino’s Gas ‘n’ Go to sell alcohol at its current convenience store location at 901 Campbell Street.

First reading of that bylaw arrived on council’s desk on Sept. 10 where it was rejected 4-1, with councillors Anderson and McQuade joining Stere and McMaster in opposition.

Mayor Osborne was absent from the meeting.

Prior to making their Sept. 10 decision, council heard from local physician Dr. Carrie Marshall who urged them to reject the application and said alcohol use has dominated every meeting she has had with local health care providers and first responders.

“We have a severe alcohol problem on the West Coast here. I think there’s probably a big disconnect between people that are using alcohol responsibly and what the reality of our lives look like as physicians, as police officers, as BC Ambulance paramedics,” she said.

“There’s a public health saying that says basically, for us, dealing with alcohol is like washing your hands and drying them in the dirt. It’s just a continuous cycle. We are totally under-resourced for it and increasing access is going to perpetuate that problem for us.”

She said the West Coast is drastically under-resourced to combat substance abuse issues and encouraged council to take a public stand for community health rather than approving a new liquor store and “feeding the beast that we’re just not resourced for.”

A key reason for the application’s success on May 28 was district staff’s belief that adding a liquor store at the Campbell Street Gas ‘n’ Go would decrease traffic in the downtown core.

In staff’s Sept. 10 report to council, Tofino’s Chief Administrative Officer Bob MacPherson wrote that the owner of the Gas ‘n’ Go operates successful liquor stores elsewhere on Vancouver Island.

“I have visited their retail liquor store in Cedar (Nanaimo) that is collocated with a

“We have a severe alcohol problem on the West Coast here.”

– Dr. Carrie Marshall gas station and convenience store. The liquor retail operation was unobtrusive and appeared to work well with the other land uses on site,” MacPherson wrote. “As Tofino continues to evolve, it will be desirable to reduce certain single purpose trips into Tofino’s downtown.

Presently, the only locations where residents and visitors may purchase retail liquor is in the downtown core. During times of peak congestion, allowing retail liquor sales outside of downtown will reduce congestion.”

Coun. Stere countered that there was no hard evidence to prove the proposed liquor store would decrease traffic and argued against the idea that there are no other retail liquor outlets in the vicinity of the Gas ‘n’ Go, pointing to nearby Industrial Way’s Tofino Brewing Company and Tofino Distillery.

Coun. McMaster also re-emphasized his opposition to the application, citing a Feb. 26 presentation council received from Central Vancouver Island’s Medical Health Officer Dr. Paul Hasselback who had urged council to address Tofino’s “significant” alcohol issue.

Coun. McQuade had spoken in support of the application on May 28, but said conversations she’d had with community health care providers since then had changed her stance.

“I’m not a prohibitionist by any stretch, but the presentation of a potential mitigation of traffic versus the almost expressed and certain impacts of [alcohol] availability and use that have been presented…all have to be considered by council,” she said.

“I believe that the tension that’s here, that everyone is gesturing towards between reducing traffic and parking resources and taxing our first responders and our mental health system is one that’s a no-brainer for me. I believe that there’s some sort of culture shift required on the West Coast for our alcohol use and I don’t think that that will originate at council, but I do think that we have these small measures that we can take that can perhaps guide our town and our council decisions towards what we’d like as a culture here.”

Coun. Chalmers was the only councillor to remain in favour of the application and the sole vote to move it forward to second reading.

She agreed that the town’s alcohol consumption issue must be addressed, but said the new store would have improved access for people who are not abusing alcohol to pick up wine or ciders not currently available outside the downtown core.

The Westerly News reached out to the Tofino RCMP for comment about the impacts alcohol is having on local policing and detachment commander Sgt. Todd Pebernat said, “Alcohol is a factor in about one-third of our total calls for service.

“In some of our more serious Criminal Code investigations, such as Sex Assaults, the prevalence of alcohol doubles to about two thirds of our calls for service.”

For this go around, they said the derby racetrack will be lined with hay bales and helmets are a must.

“There was no hay [in our] time and no helmets,” recalls Kemps.

She said derby spectators can look forward to ice cream, hot dogs, and music.

SD70 considers changing name of USS ELENA RARDON elena.rardon@albernivalleynews.com

Trustees with School District 70 are looking at three potential name changes in the district.

The board adopted a ‘naming of schools’ policy in 2017, which includes an administrative procedure outlining steps to either name or rename a school.

The policy was sparked by controversy around A.W. Neill Elementary School, which is named after Alan Webster Neill, a member of the House of Commons for Comox-Alberni from 1925-1945. Although he helped to champion Canada’s old age pension, he was a vocal opponent of Japanese immigration to Canada. He was also an Indian Agent, helping to establish the first residential school in the Alberni Valley.

Just this year, it was discovered that Neill had a racist covenant placed on his house on Margaret Street, forbidding any person of Asian descent from living in it. The covenant was removed with the help of several high school students.

SD70 trustee Rosemarie Buchanan brought the issue of A.W. Neill Elementary to the school board in 2016, but it was met by backlash from the public. A street in Port Alberni is also named after Neill, but a motion to

School District 70 is considering changing the name of Ucluelet’s high school to better represent the diverse student population. consider changing this was quickly defeated by city council.

Three years later, the school board is giving serious consideration to renaming the school.

“It’s been an ongoing concern for us,” explained superintendent Greg Smyth during a board meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 10. “We needed a mechanism by which we could review and change school names.”

A.W. Neill Elementary School isn’t the only school being reviewed under the new policy. Name changes are being considered for Ucluelet Secondary

School (USS), as well as the school district itself. Both of these name changes are for geographic reasons, said Smyth.

Although USS is located in Ucluelet, it also serves as the secondary school for students in Tofino. School District 70 Alberni, meanwhile, fails to capture the whole region, and doesn’t acknowlege schools in the district that are located on the West Coast.

For all three name changes, consultation will take place with city councils, parent advisory councils, staff and students, as well as members of the public.

ward on that consultation process,” said Smyth.

Trustee Connie Watts explained on Tuesday that some weight has to be given to Indigenous input when it comes to A.W. Neill.

“That’s a big part that has to be considered,” she said.

Although Smyth said that “there have been some suggestions thrown out” for name changes, he doesn’t want to talk about specifics until consultation has taken place.

“We want to do this slowly and thoughtfully,” said Smyth. “We want

people to know how we’re going to make this a transparent and inclusive process.”

The next school board meeting will be on the West Coast, where further discussion will take place.

Buchanan admitted that she had been “in a hurry” to change the school’s name back when it was first brought to the table in 2016, but she is glad that the board has taken a thoughtful and inclusive path by developing a policy first.

“It’s good timing,” she said after the board meeting on Tuesday.

“Neill was not a 100 percent bad person,” she acknowledged. “But with the percentage of Indigenous students at Neill…we need a name that reflects the values of the school district and the people who go to that school.”

She also suggested putting the history of the name on display at the school somewhere.

“People need to understand the reason, without losing the history,” she said.

The board’s new naming of schools policy states that schools will generally not be named after individuals.

Instead, criteria will consider the name of the street on which the school is located, the name of the community or region the school will serve or an historical name that is connected to the area.

SEAN WOOD, Green Party of Canada I grew up in Orillia, Ontario, and arrived in British Columbia in 1993 to spend a season snowboarding in Whistler. I fell in love with the place and more – I met and married my wife of 21 years, Teresa, in Whistler. We’ve made Vancouver Island our home and live in Parksville with our two sons, age 3 and 6.

I’ve always believed in giving back to my community and helping others. I spent five years as a volunteer firefighter in Parksville, and three months on a self-funded Sean Wood trip to Ethiopia to teach computer skills to adult learners. Giving back to my community also motivated me to join the Green Party five years ago. I knew that we needed more Greens in government to steer the country in a more sustainable direction.

I’m running as the Green candidate for Courtenay-Alberni because I want us to leave a better world for our kids and a more sustainable economy through ethical government. Elizabeth May is the most honest, hardworking, and climate-oriented leader, and has inspired me to join her team. To raise awareness of reducing our impact on the environment, I kicked off my campaign by riding an e-bike 300kms across Courtenay-Alberni with a life-size inflatable orca named Lucky – the green technology made the ride so easy that I didn’t break a sweat! Lucky and I met a lot of people, many of whom asked about the orca, wild salmon, and fish farms – key issues for our community and our coast.

I listen to and trust Hereditary Chief George Quocksister Jr. with his life-long experience on the ocean and his tremendous voice in calling for rebuilding our keystone wild salmon stocks.

Home-grown solutions to the challenges we

face exist, such as the example of land-based fish farm Kuterra. We can farm salmon on land without sea lice, antibiotics, pesticides, or piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) harming our existing but declining wild salmon stocks and the orca that rely on them. We need to listen to First Nations as part of achieving true reconciliation.

Industries such as the multinational fossil fuel and aquaculture industries have too much influence on our current governments, and they have bullied their way into policies and subsidies which harm our future. I was bullied as a kid, hitting puberty very late at 19, so I don’t take kindly to bullies and will stand up for our community.

TROY WHITLEY, People’s Party of Canada My name is Troy Whitley, the Courtenay-Alberni candidate for the People’s Party of Canada.

I have met many of you while knocking on your doors and hope we have a chance to speak in person soon. If not; I want to affirm that I will work hard to bring your voice to Ottawa, but I need your help to get it there.

I come from the Comox Valley and am proud to call this place, no matter Troy Whitley where I find myself, my home. This part of my world has helped to shape my world view, give me a perspective on how our actions impact the environment around us, and what we can do better to ensure a healthy and sustainable future.

Like many Canadians, I felt disconnected from having a voice. I was disappointed and disillusioned in seeing a revolving door of backbenchers go to Ottawa, do their best not to rock the boat, and hope for re-election next term.

Then, seeing political parties move away from issues impacting all Canadians and focus on the problems of only specific groups gave me pause. Little by little, our elected officials ignored opportunities to pursue legislation helping ALL Canadians, and move forward headline-grabbing bills to help only SOME. This prompted me to become an advocate for responsible representation and run for Parliament.I have worked in the software, aviation, and healthcare industries, received an excellent education at Harvard, and have immersed myself in a variety of different cultures living both home and abroad. This has also contributed to the perspective I will bring to Ottawa as I have chosen to take my education and experience away from private industry and into public service. We are all impacted by the decisions those who are put in positions of power, and it is time for us to elect people who are held accountable.

I’m not running for people like me, I’m running for ALL Canadians.

I’m running for people who want to see jobs, a more affordable standard of living, and an environmentally sustainable future with real plans for the world our children and their children will inherit.

Our country needs us.

I am calling to our riding to set an example by sending someone to Ottawa who will build partnerships, coalitions, and forge ahead through special interests to make a better tomorrow for ALL Canadians.

Delegation is the best way to complete a complicated project, Aries. Work with others to achieve a balance so you’re not doing it all.

Scorpio, touch base with your support system.

You can use some extra muscle behind your ideas, especially as you move into uncharted terrain within the next few days.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Those who are always looking to the future may not fully embrace the present, Taurus.

Focus fully on those things in your life that are meaningful right now.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you’ll find the right pace to begin a relationship or maintain the one you have.

Things are looking good for romance this week, and you may want to step up the seduction.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, when you turn on the charm, you are a force. You exude a natural magnetism that people are simply drawn to. Remember to use your powers wisely.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, look for a balance of activities that satisfy you both physically and spiritually over the course of the week. Getting in touch with nature is one way to achieve this.

Add a personalized note to a gift when visiting a friend or family member.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Don’t get too caught up on your idea of perfect, Aquarius. If you spend too much time on the small details, you’ll overlook the magic of the bigger picture.
