ARIES If you suspect you need to set some boundaries but don’t know where to start, try the following: don’t say yes to taking something on when you know it will swamp you. You may feel impolite saying no, but the alternative is far worse for your overall well being.

TAURUS There are many roads to encountering your destiny. Sometimes we know from a young age, other times we stumble upon it by accident or understand it after hearing an outside perspective. Be on the lookout this month for a new piece of the puzzle— it’s out there.

GEMINI Your need for one particular person’s approval has led to a rather external focus lately. This month, try redirecting some of this energy back inside and check in with your own moral compass. As you ruminate on your own, new insights may bubble up.

CANCER The fatigue you may be feeling lately may not be normal. If you have an idea what is causing it, attack! If not, investigate. Life is too short to crawl through it and spend all our time exhausted.

LEO The creative project on your mind will need your time and effort to manifest. That’s what it’s going to take. Don’t wait around for more time or inspiration or some kind of magic wand. You will have to make this happen.

VIRGO Modern life seems to require being constantly on the o t t is to ll ti is a illusion. Curling up under a blanket with a good book, staring out the window at the rain—these are meaningful activities, too, and go a long way toward cultivating internal stillness.

LIBRA Really customizing the space where you work (home, o c or ot ) ca o a lo way toward making you feel more settled and even inspired. This month, consider your space and what you might be able to do to optimize it for best results.

SCORPIO Get excited, Scorpio! Staying open to possibilities this month could lead to new energy and an activity you’ve never considered before. Keep your eyes and ears open for this opportunity—it may come from someone you don’t normally interact with!

SAGITTARIUS There are some things you’ve been neglecting that will be more work for you in the long run if left unattended to. Can o so ti to rioriti at needs to be done and how you might tackle these tasks without getting overwhelmed?

CAPRICORN If you are feeling s r s i a c s ri t now, you aren’t alone. What would be some easy places to cut down just a little to ease the strain? If you haven’t taken a hard look lately, this month would be a good time.

AQUARIUS Your desire for one particular place has had you daydreaming for years now. When are you going to get there? If you don’t have a plan, start making one, even if it’s just deciding which season you want to go. Then, make another small move. You can do this!

PISCES You recently shared something you had been holding onto a while. Good for you! Consider what else you might share and how it might broaden your horizons or someone else’s. The path of vulnerability can be surprisingly creative, inspirational and affirming.

The Town of Hilton Head Island provides nearly 60 miles of public pathways and nature trails for the enjoyment of pedestrians and cyclists.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ON THE PATHS:

• Obey all traffic signals and pathway markings. Stop signs must be obeyed for safety. Bicycles are vehicles and must obey SC traffic laws.

• Travel the pathways at speeds that allow for the safety of pedestrians and other users.

• Never ride within the roadway against traffic. State law requires bicycles to drive like all other vehicles.

• Do not ride on roads when a pathway is available.

• Ride single file and keep a safe distance from other bicyclists.

• WATCH OUT FOR MOTORISTS! Motorists must yield to pedestrians and bicyclists within marked crossings, but they may not see you.

RECREATIONAL PATHWAYS GUIDE

• Yield to pedestrians. When resting or stopped, please move off the pathway.

• Most sections of the pathways are not illuminated. If you must bike at night, please wear light-colored clothing or carry a flashlight. Bicycles must have a red rear reflector and a headlight when biking at night.

• When approaching slower pathway users from behind, please sound your warning device, or call out, “Passing on your left.” Always pass on the left.

• Bicyclists should always wear a helmet, especially children 12 and under.

• Make eye contact and use hand signals. Assume other bicyclists and motorists don’t see you. Hand signals tell motorists and other path users what you intend to do and will ensure everyone’s safety on the paths.

• Be courteous, alert and predictable.

• WHITE DIAMONDS INDICATE RESTRICTED TRAVEL LANE: Travel with the flow of traffic.

• WHITE STRIPE & STOP SIGN INDICATE ROAD CROSSING: Stop and look for motorists.

• YELLOW CENTER LINE INDICATES TWO-WAY TRAFFIC: Keep to the right.

• SEVERAL WHITE DIAGONAL STRIPES INDICATE A CROSSWALK: Watch out for other bicyclists, pedestrians and motorists.

• At low tide, the Island’s 12 miles of beaches are ideal for biking. Public beaches are indicated on the Island Events map.

• Our map also shows the existing public pathways. Many kiosks are located along the pathways with an Island-wide map on one side and a localized map of the area on the other.

Designated Swimming Areas: Official swimming areas have been desig-

nated for the Alder Lane, Coligny, Driessen, Folly Field and Islanders Beach Parks. The boundaries will be clearly marked on the beach and in the water. Lifeguards are stationed at these designated areas for assistance and beach information.

Beach Marker Signs:

Hilton Head’s beaches are marked near the dune line with signs to let emergency responders know where assistance is needed. They are also useful as a reference point if you or your group should become lost.

Beach Safety Tips:

•Apply and reapply plenty of sunscreen even on cloudy days.

•Wear sunglasses to prevent damage from the sun.

•Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water.

•Be aware of the rules and regulations of the beach. Signs are posted near most beach accesses.

•Don’t leave your kids unsupervised even in guarded areas.

• Note the location of the nearest lifeguard and report any hazardous conditions to him or her.

•Know the name of the beach or hotel/ condo and the beach marker number where you are staying if you should need assistance.

•There are often jellyfish and stingrays, as well as other sea life in and out of the water, which may sting or cut a person. In any situation where first aid is needed, find a lifeguard or seek further medical attention.

•Call or wave for help if you are in trouble.

Water Safety Tips:

•Don’t enter the water if you can’t swim.

•Swim near a lifeguard.

•Ask the lifeguard about any dangers in the water or on the beach, especially if he or she is flying a yellow caution flag.

•Be aware of direction and strength of longshore currents. These currents can take you up and down the beach quickly and cause you or your kids to get lost.

•Don’t let your kids swim unsupervised even in guarded areas.

•Don’t swim alone. Use the buddy system so that someone always knows where you are so they can get help if needed.

•Don’t overestimate your swimming ability. Stay in chest-deep or less water to insure you don’t get stuck in water over your head.

•Don’t rely on flotation devices.

•Swim parallel to shore if you want to swim long distances.

•Don’t swim against the current. Swim across the current to escape the pull.

•Always swim sober.

Twitty LYNN & APRIL 11

ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE SHOWS IN ALL OF COUNTRY MUSIC

The high-energy, heartfelt show highlights not only the bond Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty had as best friends and musical partners, but the unique bond Loretta and Conway’s grandkids, Tayla and Tre, have formed through years of an intertwined family history and their own musical relationship.

APRIL

On the night of his 35th birthday, Robert struggles to think of a wish to make as he blows out his birthday candles. The lone New York bachelor, surrounded by his married friends, is uncertain whether he should simply be happy with his lot in life or wish for his own romantic partner. Company, Stephen Sondheim’s groundbreaking modern musical, is a mature, intelligent, and wildly funny look at relationships, vulnerability, and “being alive.”
