Bradford Journal Photo From the left, clockwise around are Amy Priest, Kelly Lasher, Katelyn Blake, Hunter Martin, and Kieran Jade. These students in Mrs. Troisi’s fifth grade class at School Street Elementary School, May 24th, tell us they have mixed feelings about going to Fretz Middle School next year, they are worried (more trouble finding way around bigger school), excited (new school, new people, many new teachers), and a little nervous (because the kids are bigger).

McKean Courts now offers a new online service in which rresidents are able to pay court costs and traffic tickets. This new service allows residents to pay with a debit or credit card through the secure Web-based application right from home rather than mailing payment or traveling to the county courthouse to make a payment. The online service is available for payments to both the Common Pleas court and the four magisterial district courts in the county; however, each court may disallow certain individuals from using the ePay service. Also, each court is responsible for the processing of its own payments. The new system will help individuals be able to pay during hours when the courts are closed. The new e-Pay service can be found on the Unified Judicial System Web Portal, which can be found at: http://ujsportal.pacourts.us Users should go to the e-Commerce/e-Pay link at the top left corner of the page. Once there, the page will have options to help users find their own cases. The user will be sent a payment confirmation and charged a transaction convenience fee of $2.75 and court officials will be notified that a payment is coming.....The keynote speaker at this year’s Bradford Area High School graduation ceremony will be Dr. Jason L.

COMMENTS AND OPINIONS 5 ¢ENTS WORTH
by Grant Nichols
Photos in this week’s Bradford Journal were taken at School Street Elementary School in Mrs. Troisi’s fifth grade classroom, and in Mrs. Colwell’s fifth grade classroom, while others were taken in Mrs. Dunkerton’s fifth, sixth, and seventh grade classroom at the Bradford Area Christian Academy (BACA). In addition we have included a photo recording yet another challenger in the ongoing man vs. food contest at Monte’s Restaurant, Randy Cousins, who did his best to destroy the Monster Burger, March 23rd........During our visit to the fifth grade classrooms at School Street Elementary School we asked the students how they felt about leaving elementary school and entering Fretz Middle School next year. Interestingly while some were nervous about the change, but most of the students we talked to mentioned the availability of slushies and pizza there! While we were at the Bradford Area Christian Academy the principal, Jim Machuga mentioned that next year their school was planning to have an eighth grade in operation and that over each successive year the school planned to include an additional grade level. .......We recently became cognizant of the fact that this year is the hundredth anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America, the 100th anniversary of Glacier National Park in Montana, and even the 100th anniversary of the Recreational Vehicle industry. While many of our readers may have already known about the importance of this moment in time, how many recognize that this year is also, and even more importantly to some, the 100th Anniversary of the establishment of the Bradford Tefares Israel Congregation and Cemetery. The cemetery, established in 1910, and managed by the Bradford Tefares Israel Congregation and Cemetery association is located along Bolivar drive in Bradford. Documents show that the land was purchased by Trustees for the Tefares Israel Congregation, M Nesselson, I.L. Levine and L. Yampolski on February 26th, 1910. Stones can be seen there marked with the family names of Davidson, Nichols, Waxman, Graff, Goldwater, Amdur, and Kaess........ Some other late breaking news to us is that the list of those thought to be the real authors of William Shakespeare’s works has become longer, with the addition of Amelia Bassano Lanier (1569-1645), daughter of a Venetian born court musician and converso (a Jew forced to convert to Christianity but still considered a Jew). Very interesting but we’re out of space. Our readers may find more on this topic by Googling Amelia Bassano Lanier.
NO SPIN
At Fretz There’s Pizza
-by Vince Vicere
There’s A Lot Of Voter Unrest! The average American is mad as heck and disappointed with local, State and Federal governments, especially Washington. He has just witnessed the biggest transfer of wealth to China, and other socialistic, communist countries ever seen in our history. And while the transfer is driven by our need for petroleum and other natural resources, people are recognizing that this wealth augments the power of dictators and despotic governments with whom we are at philosophical odds. In addition, the average American is fed up with the far left whose agenda is tax and spend, and the far right whose agenda is to cut taxes, spend borrowed money and then not pay it‘s debts. What they would like to see is more moderates who traditionally will do what’s best for the nation regardless of the wishes of their political party. But moderates are an endangered species at least in the sense that they are currently being purged by the far right wing of the purist party of no. Then too, voters are generally upset with the incumbent career politicians of either party whose only interest is getting reelected to office instead of doing the people’s bidding. And who isn’t fed up with the wreckless approach of spending money we don’t have, causing our nation to go deeper into debt? It doesn’t make sense to attempt to correct a deficit with more debt as Washington has been have been doing over the recent past. Look what happened to Greece for having used the same tactics! To make your vote count, become personally involved in government: attend meetings, make personal contact with your politicians and simply say no right back at them. Taking a page from the Tea Baggers, get into the politicians face and let them know what you expect. Having the best government money can buy must change, returning power back to the people, before it‘s too late! The broom did it’s job in the primaries and is looking forward to the upcoming general election. SUDOKU SOLUTION

But the best part about it all is that we can have slushies and pizza there.

THE FLAG OF OUR FATHERS Memorial Day 2010 Memorial Day represents something more than just another day off from work. In this time of national and world uncertainty, we have been reminded of the need for a strong, unified national identity - a spirit of cooperation. It’s increasingly important that we, as Americans, learn to appreciate what we have: our resources, the varied qualities we have in each other. It is a time to reflect on the work and sacrifice of those who fought for our right to a secure, profitable life. Our veterans stand out in this group. Through the decades, from our very beginning, our service men have given their youth, risked personal safety and comfort to protect and prolong what we know as the “American Way of Life.” Many have lost their lives. At this time, we feel it crucial to honor the memory of those men and women, to keep it alive in all of us. It’s time to start working together again to keep our values intact.

I am the Flag by Ruth Apperson Rous
I am the flag of the United States of America. I was born on June 14, 1777, in Philadelphia. There the Continental Congress adopted my stars and stripes as the national flag. My thirteen stripes alternating red and white, with a union of thirteen white stars in a field of blue, represented a new constellation, a new nation dedicated to the personal and religious liberty of mankind. Today fifty stars signal from my union, one for each of the fifty sovereign states in the greatest constitutional republic the world has ever known. My colors symbolize the patriotic ideals and spiritual qualities of the citizens of my country. My red stripes proclaim the fearless courage and integrity of American men and boys and the self-sacrifice and devotion of American mothers and daughters. My white stripes stand for liberty and equality for all. My blue is the blue of heaven, loyalty, and faith. I represent these eternal principles: liberty, justice, and humanity. I embody American freedom: freedom of speech, religion, assembly, the press, and the sanctity of the home. I typify that indomitable spirit of determination brought to my land by Christopher Columbus and by all my forefathers - the Pilgrims, Puritans, settlers at James town and Plymouth. I am as old as my nation. I am a living symbol of my nation’s law: the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights. I voice Abraham Lincoln’s philosophy: “A government of the people, by the people,for the people.” I stand guard over my nation’s schools, the seedbed of good citizenship and true patriotism. I am displayed in every schoolroom throughout my nation; every schoolyard has a flag pole for my display. Daily thousands upon thousands of boys and girls pledge their allegiance to me and my country. I have my own law—Public Law 829, “The Flag Code” - which definitely states my correct use and display for all occasions and situations. I have my special day, Flag Day. June 14 is set aside to honor my birth. Americans, I am the sacred emblem of your country. I symbolize your birthright, your heritage of liberty purchased with blood and sorrow. I am your title deed of freedom, which is yours to enjoy and hold in trust for posterity. If you fail to keep this sacred trust inviolate, if I am nullified and destroyed, you and your children will become slaves to dictators and despots. Eternal vigilance is your price of freedom. As you see me silhouetted against the peaceful skies of my country, remind yourself that I am the flag of your country, that I stand for what you are - no more, no less. Guard me well, lest your freedom perish from the earth. Dedicate your lives to those principles for which I stand: “One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” I was created in freedom. I made my first appearance in a battle for human liberty. God grant that I may spend eternity in my “land of the free and the home of the brave” and that I shall ever be known as “Old Glory,” the flag of the United States of America.

There were 28 weigh-ins and a loss of 15 3/4 pounds at the Thursday May 20, afternoon meeting of Take Off Pounds Sensibly. Loser in waiting was Helen Smith and Officer of the week was Bev Hannon. Bev Hannon’s “thought for the day” was, “For a community to be whole and healthy, it must be based on peoples love and concern for each other.” Jean McAdam’s fashion tip was, “Look at your self image before chosing your clothing for the day.” Vickie Johnson’s helpful hint was, “ Use bounce dryer sheets to wipe venetian blinds as it helps keep them dust free.” Pat Wester and Trudie Luke had a joke for the day. A new contest for the 3-month summer acheivement will start May 28th and end September 2nd. It will be a team effort and the group was divided into 2 teams, which were assigned. The program was given by Anna Wells. “Salt and You” was the topic. She discussed the healthy amount of sodium each person should have each day. Salt is essential to our diet but we need to practice moderation. Examples of foods high in sodium and hints on keeping sodium intake under control were discussed. Anna also passed out literature to the group for flavoring and cooking with low salt. There will be a special guest speaker next week.The meeting was closed with the Tops prayer.

LAWN & GARDEN Increase Your Home’s Value With Flowering Shrubs (NAPSI)-There’s good news for homeowners whose thumb is only a little green: It may be easier and less expensive than you think to add value to your home. The secret? Plant more shrubs and bushes in your landscaping. A recent study by Michigan State University found that high-quality landscaping often increases a home’s value by 5 to 11 percent. A separate study by Clemson University estimated this increase to be 6 to 7 percent. According to research by the American Society of Landscape Architects, when selling your home, you can recover from 100 to 200 percent of every dollar you invest in your landscaping. Improving your landscaping with shrubs can save you money as well. Replacing part of your lawn with a mass planting of shrubs can reduce costs for lawn mowing and lawn care, such as the cost of fertilizer and gas. Plus, landscaping can reduce your air-conditioning costs by as much as 50 percent, according to the American Public Power Association. Landscaping is also one home improvement that may actually appreciate over time. As the plants grow larger, they should improve their looks, which can then improve the curb appeal of your home. Shrubs often provide colorful flowers for years, rather than just one season, making them sound long-term investments for your landscape. Many of the newest flowering shrubs available today are hardy, bloom each year without special care or pampering, and sport interesting colors such as pink or purple, which can add even more value to your landscaping. Consider the new Lo & Behold “Blue Chip” buddleia, a miniature butterfly bush with loads of bright blue flowers. Lo & Behold “Blue Chip” bloom continuously, so you won’t need to prune this plant as you do older varieties of buddleia. Like all butterfly bushes, it also attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. Another new shrub, the Invincibelle Spirit Hydrangea, is the very first pinkflowered form of the ‘Annabelle’ hydrangea. Like all ‘Annabelle’ hydrangeas, it’s superhardy, adaptable and easy to grow. It also blooms on new wood, so it will flower even after an early spring pruning, giving you pink color all season. A close cousin to the Invincibelle Spirit is the new Incrediball Hydrangea. Some have described this hydrangea as an “’Annabelle’ on steroids.” Its huge, basketballsized flowers are the biggest ever seen on a hydrangea, creating a burst of white in

It produces a bumper crop of fragrant lavender flowers in spring and then continues to bloom again from midsummer until frost. Common sense says that the brighter

Cook The Ultimate Burger – Tips From The Experts (NY, NY )– May 28th is National Hamburger Day, so why not treat family and friends to the ultimate hamburger. We asked burger expert, George Motz (www.hamburgeramerica.com) and Chef Harry Hawk, to share their criterion and learned some surprising pointers for making great hamburgers. They both agree the fun in making burgers at home is they’re easy and you should feel free to let loose in the process by creating your own family “secret sauce” and special size burger, cooked to your liking (rare, medium, etc.). Based on this design, the Motz burger was born, and it’s absolutely the archetype for the ultimate hamburger. The Meat The Motz burger is made from fresh ground chuck, but you can also use trim from steaks; adding some well aged meat also enhances flavor. Most important is the fat to meat ratio; 20/80 the ideal. George and Harry highly recommend grinding your own, twice, on a coarse setting. If that’s not possible, have your butcher or local supermarket grind for you and make sure to ask for the 20/80 ratio. The grinding process evenly distributes the fat throughout, which is why you don’t need to use expensive prime meat (the marbling is what you pay for). Do’s and Don’ts Do preheat your skillet on high. We typically like a skillet that’s about 450 degrees. Do Toast Your Buns: Add butter (1 teaspoon per bun) to pre-heated pan and place buns cutside down; toast until lightly brown. If you’re cooking lots of burgers, make buns in a separate pan. Soft, squishy buns are best and will easily soak in the butter. Don’t make patties or otherwise compress the meat. Instead, use food scoop or an ice
season it to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon that on top of the salmon and serve.
cream scoop to make a 4 oz ball (our ideal). Any size from 1.6 to 5 oz is okay, but the following instructions are based on a 4 oz ball. Don’t season the meat or add anything to it, otherwise you’re just making meat loaf not hamburgers. Cooking Your Burgers: Depending on pan size, place one or more balls into pre-heated (now buttery) pan. No extra butter is needed. Season top of the ball with salt and pepper, to taste. Leave ball alone for 15 seconds, then flip and smash it. After it’s smashed, season with salt, pepper and NEVER press on it again, as that will push out the juices. Cook burger about 1 minute, flip and NEVER flip again. At this point add some cheese, since the meat will be very hot and helps to melt it. Let cook for another 1 minute and remove. Before cooking the next round, allow pan to return to its pre-heated temperature. This should create the perfect medium-rare 4 oz hamburger. Cook longer (or less), depending on size of your hamburger, adjusting pan heat to preferred style (rare, medium, etc.). Toppings: Chef Hawk enjoys a touch of salt, pepper and a good cheese like Jarlsberg, Goat Brie, or even tangy Snofrisk, with pickle on the side. Sometimes he’ll smear a chipotle mayo sauce on the bun. Set up a toppings bar with raw and toasted onions, bacon, pimentos, mustard, ketchup or relish, lettuce and tomato.

Men Can Also Contract HPV
Question: I took my 11-year-old son in for a checkup recently, and his doctor recommended that he get vaccinated for genital warts. I knew they were giving this to girls, but I didn’t know boys could get it too. Should I have him vaccinated? My doctor made it sound like it was optional. Answer: The vaccine you are talking about is the human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine. The decision to have your son vaccinated is one that only you and your child’s physician can make. However, I can give you some information about this vaccine to help you make a more informed decision. There are multiple strains of HPV, and the two main health risks caused by the virus are cervical cancer and genital warts. However, HPV can also cause cancers of the penis, anus and throat. Cervical cancer claims the lives of about 4,000 women annually, and about 11,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. Statistically speaking, this condition is the most critical HPV risk, which is the main reason why the HPV vaccine is now recommended for girls and young women. Because of the effectiveness of this vaccine, cervical cancer is now a very preventable cancer. The strains that cause cervical cancer are referred to as strains 16 and 18. HPV six and 11 are the strains that cause genital warts in both males and females. There is one approved vaccine that prevents all four of these strains. HPV is a sexually transmitted disease, but because the virus can spread by simple skinon-skin contact, actual intercourse does not have to occur. By vaccinating your son, you can prevent his contraction of the wart-causing strains of HPV and you can prevent him from being a carrier of the strains that could spread cervical cancer to women. The more young boys and girls we can vaccinate, the easier it will be to reduce the overall number of both cervical cancer and genital wart outbreaks. There are no studies showing that the vaccine prevents all cancer-causing strains of HPV infections at this time. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) officially recommends the HPV vaccine for girls and young women.At this time, the CDC only indicates that the vaccine “may be administered” for boys. The vaccine is a three-shot series, which is most effective when started before the person becomes sexually active. Some parents worry that their children get too many vaccines. However, studies show that HPV vaccines save lives, prevent serious diseases and very rarely cause negative reactions. Most insurance companies cover girls and young women, but since the CDC has not yet recommended the vaccine for boys, it may not be covered by your plan. If you decide to get this vaccine for your son but have problems with the cost, discuss this with your doctor or local health department.

AICR HealthTalk
Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN American Institute for Cancer Research
Q: Can overweight breast cancer survivors decrease their risk of recurrence by losing weight? A: Research isn’t absolutely clear at this time, but sensible weight loss is recommended for breast cancer survivors who are overweight. Excess body fat is associated with increased risk of post-menopausal breast cancer and poorer survival of both pre- and post-menopausal breast cancer. But, we need more research to know whether weight loss in overweight survivors will offer protection from recurrence. Keep in mind that breast cancer treatment and survival have improved so much that it’s also important to consider the risk of heart disease in breast cancer survivors. Many women were already at risk before cancer diagnosis because of over weight and obesity, sedentary living or unhealthy eating habits, and some cancer treatments can have side effects that increase heart risks further. Because weight loss accomplished at a reasonable pace with healthy eating habits and regular physical activity is associated with reduced heart disease risk, as well as changes in hormones and growth factors that may protect against breast cancer, experts say that it’s a sensible plan. Q: I keep hearing that eating a variety of vegetables is important, but I am stuck in a rut eating just a few. How do you suggest I get more variety? A: You’re right: vegetables are a key source of many nutrients and thousands
of different phytochemicals (natural plant compounds that are antioxidants or protect our health in other ways). No single vegetable provides them all, however, so the wider the variety of your choices, the better. Set a goal to try at least one new vegetable each week. If you’re ready to be adventurous, go to the grocery store or farmers’ market and just pick up something that looks interesting (and find out what it’s called if you don’t know). Then check recipe websites for different ways to prepare it.The AICR Test Kitchen offers healthy, easy recipes. Or check the library for a vegetable or ethnic cookbook, since many international cuisines have developed fabulous ways to serve vegetables. You might pick up a magazine focused on healthy cooking, and make a point of preparing one vegetable or salad recipe from it each week. Go to a new ethnic restaurant once a month or so and try some vegetables unfamiliar to you. When you find something you like, ask about how you can duplicate the dish at home. If all that’s too much adventure for you, email friends and family to ask for their favorite vegetable recipes. Or perhaps make it a weekly game: pick a particular vegetable, ask people how they like to prepare it and circulate the results to everybody. Just remember that if the recipes are loaded with unhealthy fat or sodium, the overall benefits for your health won’t be as great. In that case, you can take the flavor concept, but find ways to prepare it in a healthier manner.

VACATION & TRAVEL Vacation Season Car Care (NAPSI)-The summer months are notoriously tough on any vehicle as drivers take to the road for extended or weekend getaways. To make sure you’re ready for the summer drive, taking simple maintenance steps will ensure your trip is memorable for all of the right reasons. Get a Tune Up and Check your AC: A tune up before you leave on a long trip could result in improved fuel economy by 4−12 percent. Auto manufacturers recommend a tune up every two years or 30,000 miles, whichever comes first. If your airconditioning system hasn’t been checked recently, have the technician check the refrigerant charge, compressor belt and compressor clutch. Maintain your cooling system: Engine coolant can become contaminated, so the system should be flushed and replenished periodically--typically every three years or 36,000 miles. Never check the radiator or coolant when the engine is hot. One product to help reduce engine heat is Royal Purple’s Purple Ice Coolant Additive. This high-performance, synthetic radiator coolant additive fosters optimum coolant flow by helping to prevent formation of scale deposits in the radiator and also lubricates the water pump seals. Learn more at www. coolerradiators.com. Don’t forget the spare: When checking your tires for correct inflation and even wear, make sure your spare tire is ready to use in case you need to put it into service when you’re on the road. Change your windshield wipers: Experts suggest changing your blades every six to 12 months. Don’t forget to check and change your rear-window wiper blade, too! Emergency Road Kit: Having these items could make it easier to get back on the road: • First-aid kit that includes aspirin, bandages, gauze, eyewash, moist wipes, antibiotic ointment and burn cream • Duct tape can temporarily fix a broken windshield wiper, hold glass together, pick up glass shards, serve as a temporary gas cover and repair a broken hose • Brightly colored cloth or “emergency” sign that you can tie or place somewhere on your car to signal for help • Cell phone. If you don’t want a regular-use cell phone, there are special 911 units and prepaid cell phones • Tools such as wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers and socket wrenches • Booster cables to jump a dead or faulty battery • Extra fuses • Blankets • Emergency light or flashlight • Bottled water.

Look Up From Writing Thank You Notes

Four Steps To Stress-Free RVing (NAPSI)-Nearly 4 million RVers in the U.S. hit the road with their pets every year, according to the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association. Bringing your pet on vacation with you will be fun and stressfree if you follow these four tips from leading RV insurance company Progressive: 1. Know your campground’s pet policy. Most campgrounds and RV parks have pet restrictions. They might charge extra for pets or have leash rules or designated areas for dog walking. To avoid any unwanted surprises, check your destination’s guidelines before you leave for the trip. Also, you can request a campsite that is a little more remote, so your pet
won’t bother other campers who might not be animal lovers. 2. Be prepared. Your pet’s tags should be up-to-date and include your cell phone number (remember, you’re on the road). Before you leave, you also may want to visit the veterinarian. If your pet usually gets carsick or restless when traveling, the vet may be able to suggest medications or other treatments that could help. You might also want to keep a copy of the Pet E.R. Guide on hand so that you can always find the closest 24hour animal hospital. 3. Pack a pet travel tote. It should include cleanup supplies, a travel bed, food and water, portable bowls, any medications, a
pet first-aid kit and lots of toys to keep your pet busy and well behaved. Also, some RV parks require proof of rabies vaccination, so bring that along, too. 4. Check your insurance. See if your pet is covered by your car insurance. Progressive protects
dogs and cats up to $1,000 if they’re hurt when you’re in an accident or in the event of a loss such as a theft or fire. The coverage is free to RV and auto customers with Collision insurance. For more information, visit www.progressive. com/pet

How To Avoid Mosquitoes (NAPSI)-Between sporting events, yard work, cookouts and recreation, spending time outdoors with family and friends can be an everyday occurrence during the warm-weather months. Few things, however, can ruin an outdoor experience quite like a swarm of blood-thirsty mosquitoes. So what are the best ways to keep the mosquitoes at bay? Here are seven helpful tips: 1. Empty or cover any receptacles around the house that can pool water so as to keep mosquitoes from breeding. Gutters should also be kept clean so water flows properly. 2. Change the water in your birdbaths every few days and cover wading pools, hot tubs and other sources of standing water. 3.Wear protective clothing. Long-sleeve shirts and long pants, as well as shoes and socks, will help keep insects from having contact with your skin. 4. Keep the color of your clothing light. Mosquitoes are more attracted to darker hues. 5. Use an outdoor fogger to establish a protective perimeter around your yard or campsite. 6. Light a citronella candle. Most people find the scent to be pleasant and it helps ward off mosquitoes. 7. Apply an effective insect repellent to your clothing and, especially, to any ex-
posed areas of your skin. While there are many types of insect repellents on the market today, one highly effective formula worth considering contains IR3535, a DEET-free alternative that has an excellent record of safety. The new insect repellent is safe for the entire family and just as effective as DEET. It provides up to eight hours of odorless protection against the most common biting insects, including mosquitoes, deer ticks and biting flies. Plus, it dries very quickly on the skin and does not leave the greasy residue often associated with DEET-based products. Containing IR3535, the most widely used active ingredient in insect repellents throughout Europe, Coleman® SkinSmart™ DEET Free Insect Repellent is now available in the United States in a variety of user-friendly packages. These include a compact, Go Ready spray pen, a 5-ounce pump spray and a 6-ounce aerosol spray. The pens are great for busy, onthe-go consumers. Offering more than 200 sprays, they’re just slightly larger than a typical writing pen, so they’re an easy addition to any purse, diaper bag or pocket.

YOUR WEEKLY HOROSCOPE MAY 27 - JUNE 2, 2010
ARIES - (Mar. 21 - Apr. 19) This week marks a turning point in the year. It’s a time when your mind goes up several gears and you can feel sharper and more alert. TAURUS - (Apr. 20 - May 20) This week’s Full Moon asks you to balance your budget, and of course there is a lot of budget balancing going on around the world just now. Check that all your bills are up to date. GEMINI - (May 21 - June 20) The Sun soars into your zodiac sign, and this can be the great reviver of both plans and energy. CANCER - (June 21 - July 22) Cancer, you will be emanating a somewhat mysterious vibe. This can lead to some secretive trysts or a fascination with someone who is not truly available. LEO - (July 23, - Aug. 22) This week you can help someone out who is going through a tough time, in a very discreet manner. You might not even tell them. Socially, things are on the cusp of revving up nicely. VIRGO - (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) Escapism has been quite a theme for you recently, now a crunch point is reached, one which asks you to make your mind up about some of your ambitions, and how feasible a complete change of scene would be. LIBRA - (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) With the Sun sweeping into your sister Air sign of Gemini, you can start to feel perkier and more outgoing. SCORPIO - (Oct. 23, - Nov. 21) Your natural depth and passion, as well as determination of purpose, are switched full on. Folk will know you mean business and you can also find yourself keen to unlock life’s mysteries. SAGITTARIUS - (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) Know what you want this week, but also understand what others want. Then look to work things out between you. CAPRICORN - (Dec. 21 - Jan. 19) Feedback that you get from others this week could at times, seem critical. Attention to detail will be important, but keep cool if others are picky. AQUARIUS - (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) The Sun switches into possibly its best part of your situation. This confers real opportunities for growth, optimism and a feelgood factor. PISCES - (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20) Your love life can be giving you food for thought. Perhaps you have more than one option to consider, or is it down to the basic emotional interaction in a current tie?
