Charity in support of Rowan’s Law releases concussion guidelines CHRISTOPHER WHAN christopher.whan@metroland.com

The death of Rowan Stringer in 2013 was a tragedy that shook the local sports world. The young rugby player died after suffering a concussion on an Ottawa sports field. As a reaction to her death, Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod brought legislation forward in a private members bill. Rowan’s Law – as it was dubbed – would boost the detection, prevention and treatment of head injuries across the province. The Canadian charitable organization Parachute has developed a national guideline for concussion in sport, which the organization released on July 28. The guideline was developed by Parachute and their concussion expert advisory subcommittee, whichincludes two of the members from the Rowan’s Law Advisory Committee. Whereas Rowan’s Law was brought forth by Ontario’s legislature and focuses specifically on the province, Parachute’s goal is to make this a baseline for all Canadian organizations. Whether part of an extracurricular sports program, a recreational one or even a professional match, the goal is to make sure everyone is on the same page when it comes to treating concussions.

“I encourage all Canadians to incorporate more physical activity into their daily lives,” said federal Minister of Health Jane Philpott. “However, I also want to encourage safe practices to prevent possible injuries. The Canadian Guideline on Concussion in Sport not only raises concussion awareness, but also provides parents, coaches, athletes and healthcare professionals with an evidence-based approach to preventing, identifying, managing and treating concussions.” The guideline not only explains what to look for and treat when a concussion is sustained, but according to Parachute vice-president Pamela Fuselli, it will also take participants through the treatment process as well. “The guideline takes you through different stages: from the pre-season to when an injury occurs, to return to sport after a concussion,” said Fuselli. “For each stage, the guideline tells you the best way things should be handled, who should be involved, and what tools are available to help.” Rowan Stringer’s parents, Gordon and Kathleen, have been fierce advocates for concussion education and, according to Fuselli, were instrumental in bringing attention the need for everyone involved in sport to have the most current knowledge

when it comes to head trauma. At the annual gala held by Parachute, the Stringers were awarded the Parachute Safety Award in recognition of their work. Several sports leagues across the capital have their own concussion protocols already but Fuselli says harmonizing concussion protocols can make for a safer play environment. Parachute’s guidelines follow the Canadian guidelines, which in turn follow the international guidelines. With that and the fact that the guidelines were developed with a group of leading Canadian experts, Fuselli says the Parachute protocol is the best choice when it comes to harmonization. Currently, Parachute is working with the national sports organizations in Canada who in turn will be using this protocol to improve upon their own. Parachute is also encouraging parents and their kids to read through the protocol as well. Concussions have become a hotbutton issue in sports over the last decade and leagues across North America are on the path to making the games safer for players and their brains. The guidelines are available via download for free in both official languages at parachutecanada.org.

City scraps plan to replace turf at Minto Field CHRISTOPHER WHAN christopher.whan@metroland.com

The city has scrapped the project to returf Minto field in Nepean, as the price tag was almost double what was anticipated. The city has been in talks for a while to replace the turf, after complaints from soccer and football teams that players on the field were receiving abrasions during games. Originally installed in 2015 at a cost of $1.3 million, it was developed primarily for field hockey. The city then decided that if the field was to continue to be used for field sports, then the turf would need to be changed. The city originally planned to use about $500,000 from a fund it collects from developers in lieu of

parkland for the field; but, with a hefty price tag of almost $1.2 million to replace the turf, they decided to kibosh that plan. Instead, the city will now lease a field from the National Capital Commission (NCC) that is adjacent to the Nepean Sportsplex. The field is part of the Confederation Education Centre property â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the former Confederation high school. As of right now, the city has negotiated a five-year lease with the NCC with plans for an eventual 20-year lease. According to the city manager for parks and facilities planning, Kevin Wherry, the cost of the Christopher Whan/Metroland five-year lease is $4,200 per year. The field has already been re-sod- Minto Field (left) at the Nepean Sportsplex was deemed too damaging to players and the cost to replace the turf was far ded and new goalposts are to be more then the city anticipated. Instead the city opted to lease a field (right) from the NCC at the Confederation Education Centre next door. installed in the near future.

The Ottawa Police are investigating the robbery that took place at the 2600 block of Draper Avenue in Nepean on July 4. Police are seeking the public’s assistance to identify one of the suspects responsible. On that day a male victim had hired an escort from an internet site where these services were advertised. Money was given in advance of services rendered. Afterward, the female escort demanded payment, suggesting she hadn’t been paid yet. After the “John” refused to pay, the female placed a call to a male associate who then attended the address. The victim was repeatedly assaulted; his cellphone was stolen as well as several items from the premises. The two suspects then left in a vehicle, possibly a dark-coloured Hyundai Elantra. The victim was transported to hospital for assessment and treatment. One of the suspects turned herself into police on July 31. Stacy Steele, 24 of Ottawa has been charged with single counts of Robbery and Mischief under $5,000. She will appear in court on August 17. The male is described as Middle Eastern, approximately 5’ 9”, skinny build, with black short hair. At the time he was unshaven, with black facial hair.

City councillor says rail yard likely to go west of Moodie Crystal Beach survey shows strong opposition to maintenance yard located closer to homes BY NEVIL HUNT nevil.hunt@metroland.com

The city has heard from Crystal Beach residents: rail maintenance yards shouldn’t be built near homes, especially when other options exist. And city councillors are likely to hear that message again in September. A survey conducted by the community association in Crystal Beach drew more than 600 responses and shows roughly 90 per cent of respondents think a proposed maintenance yard should be located on the west side of Moodie Drive. The planned extension of light rail to Moodie Drive means the city will need a light maintenance yard somewhere near the terminus for overnight cleaning and upkeep of trains. At a public meeting in June, the city LRT office was considering three locations for the yard, all near Highway 417. Two potential sites were on the west side of Moodie Drive – a considerable distance from Crystal Beach homes – but one plan called for the yard to be east of Moodie, within

a few hundred metres of some back yards. A survey on the rail yard’s location is complete and a petition to city council is expected, said Crystal Beach Lakeview Community Association president Peggy McGillivray at a public meeting on Aug. 2. “It’s going to wipe out the forest and it will push out the animals,” she said of the proposed site east of Moodie. “Most of us live here because of the greenery.” The major concerns expressed by residents in the survey conducted by the community association include: * Protection of green space and wildlife. * Air, noise and light pollution. * Traffic. Crystal Beach and Lakeview residents expressed strong support for light rail construction as a whole, with 85 per cent of survey respondents in favour of light rail being extended to Moodie Drive. Bay Ward Coun. Mark Taylor spoke at the June public meeting, saying he believed the city’s LRT office

should plan to build the yard west of Moodie. He’s now confident that suggestion will be acted upon. “In my discussions with the light rail office, they understood,” Taylor said on Aug. 4. He said he has “full confidence” that when the light rail staff present their next update – expected in September – the rail yard will be planned for the west side of Moodie, “nestled between the Queensway and Corkstown Road.” Before the city can build a rail yard, it will have to negotiate the use of the land with the National Capital Commission. Taylor said the city has had “an ongoing dialogue with the NCC.” “(The NCC) knew it was a possibility,” he said of a potential request to use some NCC land for a rail yard west of Moodie Drive. Ian McConnachie, who heads the community association’s transportation committee, said Taylor’s support for a rail yard west of Moodie is “reassuring,” but given that the councillor has only one vote, the association will make sure others at city hall know where the community stands. “We’re glad our city councillor is onside with what the community is calling for,” McConnachie said. He said the petition will go ahead

City of Ottawa

Opposition to a proposed light rail maintenance yard east of Moodie Drive has prompted a rethink in the light rail planning office. Bay Ward Coun. Mark Taylor says he has “full confidence” a report due in September will suggest the rail yard be built west of Moodie, further from homes in Crystal Beach. to ensure other councillors understand the issue. “We want the entire city council and (the finance and economic development committee) to know our position,” he said. Crystal Beach residents can expect

to see the petition rolled out in the coming weeks so it can be presented at city hall in early September. The association is online at groupspaces. com/CBLCA and on Facebook by searching “Crystal Beach – Crystal Bay – Lakeview.”

GreekFest has always been about sharing Greek culture with Canadians, but this year the event will also be about showing Canadian pride. In honour of Canada’s 150th anniversary, the loukoumades– best described as a Greek Timbit usually topped with honey – will be smothered in pure Canadian maple syrup, said the event’s co-chair Tom Varvaresos. “We love to highlight our customs, food, our dance and community,” Varvaresos said, of this year’s festival, running from Aug. 10 to 20. “The theme has always been about highlighting the culture that we as immigrants brought with us, but we are very much proud Canadians this year,” he said. This year, there will also be historical display highlighting parts of the community of Greek immigrants to Ottawa with photographs and memorabilia. The festival draws up to 80,000 people to the grounds, at the Greek Orthodox Church, at 1315 Prince of Wales Dr. The schedule is packed with musical entertainment and dancers, and there are also church tours in French and English, an artisans court, Greek mythology seminars and cooking classes. Don’t forget the food. It’s all homemade and the menu includes Greek salads, pita bread, new gyro poutine, souvlaki, platters, and roasted lamb.

OPINION

Connected to your community

The year of La Machine

t may be Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017 but now this year is going to be known as the Year of La Machine. Even Ottawa 2017 organizers were amazed at the public’s reaction to this four-day downtown stroll by Long Ma the dragon-horse and Kumo the spider. An estimated 750,000 people swarmed the 27 kilometres of Ottawa streets in the downtown core where the pair of giant machines strolled from July 26 to 29. It left both Mayor Jim Watson and Ottawa 2017 executive director Guy Laflamme singing the praises of the event. Laflamme touted it as writing “a page in Ottawa history” while Watson called it a “fairy tale weekend that residents and visitors will never forget.” And, of course, the spinoffs in terms of business and international exposure were immense. Making the event even more memorable, if that could be, was the fact that glorious weather prevailed for the four days, the first real summer experience of the year after what seemed like daily rain throughout the spring and early summer. So, all in all, La Machine was an event that made its mark and in today’s world that craves spectacle and wonderment, La Machine rose to the top. As Watson

said, it “captivated the imagination” and “transformed our city into an enchanting and mesmerizing setting.” And while all of this is so true, we have to wonder about this event’s connection with Canada 150 and the $3.5-million expenditure from the city’s Canada’s 150 funding. It undoubtedly wrote a page in Ottawa history, as noted. The behaviour of the crowds showed Canadians to be who they are — a respectful, law abiding, appreciative bunch. Yes, this showed Canadians at their best. But La Machine was an event that could happen in any year. There was nothing linking it with Canada’s 150th. Do we have any better appreciation of our country and its history and its future from this La Machine event, a production of a street theatre production company from France? Surely the goal of Canada 150 celebrations should be to celebrate who we are as Canadians, to discover how we got to where we are today and to explore where we are going in the future. Alas, La Machine perhaps did not do this but, you have to admit, it sure was a fun and memorable experience and perhaps this says more about us as Canadians today than anything else could.

Road trip: the summer of spontaneous adventures

recently returned home from another road trip with the kids. My house looked abandoned. In place of the lush gardens of May and June was a weedy, overgrown mess. The lawn was uncut. The flower baskets sat dying on the front porch. I declare this a summer win. In early summer, I had a realization that at five, 11 and 12, my kids were the perfect ages to travel. For the first time, bladder control and reasonability would overcome their need to stop every 20 minutes on the highway. The older ones can navigate on a map, pitch a tent and entertain themselves for hours on end. Summer camp and work contracts be darned, I decided to make this the summer of spontaneous road trips.

I’ve clocked 6,000 kms on my minivan this month, compared to our annual average of 10,000. We’re resting for a week, but the kids are conditioned to travel. I’ve decided to fulfil my lifelong dream of visiting Prince Edward Island. The trip is mapped out, the tent is drying on the line, and we are going for it. The kids are begging for more upscale accommodation, but I’ve told them Old Blue (our five-man Costco tent) is the ticket to our freedom. An entire week camping in Prince Edward Island National Park will cost a little over $200. Apologies to the neighbours for the state of the garden. I promise my husband is still living here. He just hasn’t had a lot of time to tend the flower baskets.

Just know that my overgrown perennials are a symbol of my summer of adventure. I promise to make it up to you in the fall.

Extrication equipment like that seen here was used to extricate an occupant after a vehicle rollover in Bells Corners on August 2. Two adults and a baby were taken to hospital after receiving minor injuries from the crash

Two adults and a baby taken to hospital after vehicle rollover in Bells Corners CHRISTOPHER WHAN christopher.whan@metroland.com

Ottawa Fire Service is reporting a vehicle rollover that happened August 2 at Moodie drive and Roberson road in Bells Corners. Fire services received a call from Ottawa Police of a two-vehicle accident with one vehicle having flipped over and back onto

its wheels. Upon arrival, fire crews quickly stabilized the vehicles and had to cut through the B pillar of the car to extricate the occupant. Paramedics took three people, including a baby all with minor injuries to hospital and one other person was treated at the scene but was not brought to hospital..

Rogers to build cell tower in Barrhaven; will hold public consultation August 23 CHRISTOPHER WHAN christopher.whan@metroland.com

Rogers Communications are planning to build a cellular tower at 3700 Prince of Wales Dr. to fill “significant wireless coverage gaps” in the area. A public consultation on the proposed installation spot will be held on August 23 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the Cambrian Room at the Minto Recreation Complex. There, members of the community will be invited to provide any questions or comments they may have about the site. Currently, the plot of land is used as a maintenance yard for the Capital Funeral Home and Cemetery. The monopole will be 40 metres tall. The

base of the tower will be less than 1.5 metres wide and the tower will not require lighting at night, as it is too low to the ground. “Designing a wireless network is similar to assembling a 3D jigsaw puzzle,” said Rogers in a release. “Cell towers and installations need to be located near one another so that they are able to provide adjoining service without any holes or gaps in coverage. They must also be set at elevations that are high enough to deliver the signals to a wide service area.” Members of the public can provide their comments by mail, email or phone to Rogers before September 3 by contacting Eric Belchamber at 613-220-5970, via email at eric. belchamber@rogers.com or by mail at 337 Autumnfield St. Kanata, Ontario K2M 0J6.

Trump tweets highlight need for pride events: Watson Pride week in Ottawa planned for Aug. 21 to 27 MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

The same day U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted about banning transgender individuals from serving in the military, Capital Pride was announcing its lineup for Pride Week. At the announcement, Mayor Jim Watson said it’s actions like Trump’s that are a reminder of why the city needs a pride festival and parade. “We see an action like Donald Trump, who has banned trans people from joining the army of the United States, and that’s exactly why we

need to continue to have pride festivals and pride parades and let people know the struggle continues in many parts of the world and even in our own city,” he said. “It really is an opportunity to celebrate diversity and inclusiveness in our community, in our society and right here in our own neighbourhood.” Pride Week begins Aug. 21 with a flag raising at city hall and it finishes on Aug. 27. The theme for Capital Pride 2017 is Just Be. “Just Be acknowledges the path to true identity and self expression, both as an individual journey as well as the one we share with our community,” said Capital Pride’s board chair Tammy Dopson. “By allowing us to be ourselves, we make way for greater acceptance, understanding and celebration of our differences. We look

forward to you joining us for the 2017 festival and helping to create a place where we can all Just Be.” That theme doesn’t conflict with the “respectful request” that Ottawa’s police officers leave their uniforms at home if walking in the pride parade this year, Dopson said after the event. On June 30, the festival organizers released a statement saying at the request of their LGBTQ youth, uniformed police officers would not be welcome to attend Capital Pride activities while off duty. On July 5, Police Chief Charles Bordeleau tweeted that his plan was to march in the parade in uniform, with fellow officers. “Our request was pretty open-ended to begin with,” Dopson said. “We didn’t ban, we didn’t exclude — these are not part of our ver-

nacular. We made a respectful request about what messaging they wanted to put out into the community, and we felt the strongest message they could send was with respect to setting aside the uniform.” This year’s event lineup focuses on diversity, inclusiveness and local talent. “Music and art are both powerful mediums for sharing experiences, storytelling and connecting with one another, and our festival is truly a platform for the LGBTQ community to have their voices heard and to share their stories,” said festival producer Mike Connors. “That’s why it’s so important that our programming is diverse and a true reflection of the community.” After the pride parade on Aug. 27, musical acts will take to the stage on Bank Street. The show features American rapper, poet and activist Mykki Blanco, DJ Shub, DJ Jungle Jen, Shawnee, and the Peptides. The all-ages Fresh Zone performers are Disco Drag with Kitty Funk and the Queens, Amanda Rheaume, Kimberly Sunstrum, Capital Kings, Drag Story Time and DJ Grace. This year there are more than 30 community events happening across Ottawa during Pride Week. Connors also highlighted events like the new Shine your Light Youth Dance on Aug. 23 and the ALT Queer Art and Fashion Swap, happening at Arts Court on Aug. 21. “We are expecting it to be Black Friday-level shopping madness,” he said. The parade, a highlight of the week, takes place Aug. 27 at 1:30 p.m. “We’ve seen an increase in entries over 2016 and I kind of have a feeling this will be the biggest pride parade Ottawa has seen yet,” Connors said.

Barrhaven dancer wins twice at American Dance Awards CHRISTOPHER WHAN

Mark Fisher School Trustee - Zone 7

christopher.whan@metroland.com

Since the age of three, dance has been a way of life for Nigel Clifford. The 12-yearold from Barrhaven trains and competes about 50 weeks each year in competitions all over North America. Most recently, Nigel was the winner of the Junior Mister Candance and Junior Male Dancer of the Year at the American Dance Awards in Orlando, Fla. Nigel trains primarily at the Canadian School of Dance in Barrhaven after school and on the weekends, devoting a lot of his free time to dance. Luckily for him, his biggest fans are there to keep him motivated. “None of this would be possible without his parents,” said Fran Coyle, co-owner of the school. “It’s a real team effort.” Part of being an award-winning dancer is being proficient in all kinds of dance. Although jazz is his favourite, Nigel has also trained in ballet and even tap. This summer, on top of dance training and golf camp, Nigel will be heading to New Jersey to take part in a tap dance camp.

Never Leave a Dog in a Hot Car As we head into August, the Ottawa Humane Society is asking our community to help us make sure no dog is ever left to suffer in a hot car again. It’s only through educating our community and spreading the word that we can make sure the animals in our community are safe all summer long. The temperature inside a car can quickly climb, turning it into an oven in minutes. A dog inside will begin to pant, drool, suffer increased heart rate, vomit, have seizures and could even die. The dog’s brain may swell, he may have trouble breathing. The heat may affect all his organs, including his heart, weakening the muscle until the poor dog goes into shock. The solution? Never leave a dog in a hot car. Even a couple minutes can have grave consequences. And if you see a dog in a hot car what should you do? Remember to T.A.N.: Take information. Note the make, model and licence plate number of the car, the exact location of the car and description of the dog: breed, colour, size etc. Remember that windows cracked open do not significantly reduce the internal temperature of a car. Assess the situation. How long have you been present while the dog has been in the car? Is the dog in distress? Signs of heat distress include excessive panting with the tongue fully extended, stumbling, glazed eyes, disorientation, hiding in the foot well (which is the “coolest” place in a vehicle), convulsions/seizuring, and ultimately coma and death. Notify authorities. Contact nearby stores and businesses. Ask them to make an announcement for the owner to return to their car. Get others to help you. If the dog is in distress call the Ottawa Police Service at 911. Stay on the scene to monitor the situation until the owner or help arrives.

Thrashing time was like a holiday

unt Lizzie called it “threshing,” but everyone I knew called it “thrashing.” Father said his sister got highminded when she moved to Regina and left the farm at Northcote behind, and sometimes he had no idea what she was talking about. Anyway, it was thrashing time and to me it was like a holiday ... just like the Saturday night card parties, only there was no music. Early in the morning, farm neighbours would start to arrive, and they would stand around the barnyard, smoking their pipes, waiting for Mr. Briscoe to bring the big thrashing machine, pulled down our long lane by his

It didn’t take long for the men to clean their plates and head out the door to the job at hand. Velma and I went into the kitchen, where Mother and Audrey had collapsed onto two chairs with their plates in front of them at the old pine table. We grabbed two plates off the bake table, and loaded them with what was left of dinner, which wasn’t much. There wasn’t a scrap of pie. It looked like Mother and Audrey were all in. It didn’t take long for me to realize we had walked right into a pile of work. Mother said we could fill the dishpan with hot water from the reservoir, and start into washing up, and Velma could grab a clean tea towel. Well, that certainly wasn’t what either of us had in mind!

Record-setting crowds met dragon-horse and giant spider MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

ROUTES AVAILABLE!!! We are looking for carriers to deliver our newspapers.

CALL 613.221.6247

An estimated 750,000 people watched as a horse-dragon took back its wings from a giant spider in downtown Ottawa over four days. According to Ottawa 2017 organizers, the French street theatre production company La Machine made the event the city’s biggest theatrical production ever. The crowd estimate surpassed numbers thought to have attended Canada Day this year. Heritage Canada estimated at least 100,000 people were on Parliament Hill and between 450,000 and 500,000 people were in the downtown core for the sesquicentennial. Guy Laflamme, executive director of Ottawa 2017, said his initial estimate for the event was that it would draw about 300,000 people. “It’s not an overstatement to say that we wrote a page in Ottawa history over the weekend and the memories we’ve created will be cherished for decades to come. And that’s exactly what we wanted to accomplish for Ottawa 2017.” In a statement, Mayor Jim Watson said the event “captivated the imagination of hundreds of thousands of people of all ages and transformed our city into an enchanting and mesmerizing setting. Through the col-

laborative work of Ottawa 2017, La Machine, our hundreds of volunteers and first responders, we were able to create a fairy tale weekend that residents and visitors will never forget.” With some additional video screens, security and other extras, the event cost slightly more than the $3.5 million set aside for it, but that’s covered in the contingency fund, Laflamme said. “It’s probably the best investment we could have dreamed of,” he said. An additional 30 to 40 volunteers had to be added to handle the crowds. Laflamme said the performance was a career highlight, and it was special for the operators, creators and musicians involved as well. “La Machine felt that the Ottawa crowd was the best they have experienced ever — disciplined, respectful and also bubbly, lively and emotional,” Laflamme said, noting the spontaneous applause that erupted when the musicians finished a set or when the operators stepped off the machines. Ottawa 2017 estimated about the events from the entire year would create more than $230 million in GDP impact and generate more than 3,000 jobs. A large portion of that will come from hosting La Machine, Laflamme said, calling it a main contributor and noting some restaurants on Sparks

Street and in the ByWard Market ran out of food. In a letter to the city and committee after the big event written by Jasna Jennings, executive director of the ByWard Market Business Improvement Area, she said La Machine “lived up to and surpassed all expectations.” “The market was alive with more people than even Canada Day! The anticipation and exhilaration were palpable.” She said the goal of the event, to shirk the idea of Ottawa as a sleepy town, “came to a dramatic crescendo with La Machine.” She noted that visitors to the market were not just tourists, and the event also brought out locals in droves. “La Machine was the catalyst to play tourist in your own town and to remember how exciting and how much fun downtown is.” According to Ottawa police, there were no major incidents associated with the street theatre performance. Ottawa paramedics said the event went very well overall. They received about 100 calls for service in the area of the machines and about 25 people were taken to hospital. Laflamme said the only minor incident came when crowds following the machines met with the awaiting crowd in front of the Supreme Court on July 29.

“Unfortunately a few people were squeezed and felt intimidated … Other than that everything went super impeccably well.” In a recent blog post, Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper said the event “will be a defining moment in this city’s ongoing transition.” Leiper said the city’s tourist attractions played a supporting role in the production, having been the backdrop for the walkabouts, selfies and countless videos posted online. “Could anyone even guess at the exposure those venues have already gotten from residents and tourists internationally, even before the professionals get into the editing studio,” he wrote. “The return on investment from that activity will be felt for years.” Leiper said in the post that one of the most pivotal decisions made for La Machine was to close downtown streets to welcome pedestrians and limit parking. “The elimination of parking and cars from the (Byward) Market and other key downtown streets was hugely successful.” He said the event was proof that fewer cars, not more, can draw more people and more economic activity. “We need bike lanes and parking, great transit, and safe pedestrian routes to capitalize on the opportunity we proved this weekend.”

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you might have your mind set on a vacation to an exotic location. If that is your ultimate goal, work toward making it a possibility in the near future.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, it is unwise to make any impulsive commitments or decisions right now. Too many things are in flux, and you have to work through all the scenarios for a little bit longer.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, even though you know what needs to get done, you may experience difficulty adhering to a schedule. Look to a friend to get you back on course.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 The key to creating some spark in your love life this week is through your social life, Gemini. Spend time with an eclectic group of friends who can offer a new experience. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, exercise patience in regards to a financial situation in the coming months. Patience may pay off if you can simply wait things out. Lean on a loved one for support.
