FROM THE PUBLISHER

2018 RESOLUTION: EMBRACE, CELEBRATE AND LOVE Saturday, Jan. 6, would have been the 73rd wedding anniversary for Dominic and Adelaide Farina; however, amidst the celebration that was in the air as 2017 rolled over to 2018, Dominic Farina passed away.

Dominic was born May 1, 1917.

He wrote lots of chapters for the history of New Buffalo, as he and beautiful Adelaide brought so much to Harbor Country. They were one of the first couples I met

NEWS AND EVENTS FROM THE NEW BUFFALO TOWNSHIP LIBRARY when fate brought me to New Buffalo. I thought for sure I had been transported back to New York, because he was bigger than life.

Meanwhile, Adelaide has the grace, beauty and poise of a queen.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Farina family and especially Adelaide, Dominic’s pillar of strength.

Enjoy and cherish 2018, as Dominic will continue to do, for he has entered the gates of heaven. dee dee duhn

SLICK GOING FOR CESSNA JET

A

private plane slid off the runway at Michigan City Municipal Airport Wednesday, Dec. 27.

The twin-engine Cessna 525A Citation Jet CJ2 slid off the runway at approximately 6:45 a.m. The twin-engine jet overshot runway 20, traveling approximately 75 meters across the grass after leaving the 1250-meter long asphalt runway. The plane went through a guardrail/fence and crossed a highway before skidding about 300 yards into a field. When it went through the guardrail, the left wing was ripped off before the plane skidded and then came to a halt in the field.

According to initial reports, the plane sustained heavy damage and was determined to be beyond repair.

The plane, which was operated

by Van E. Aviation, had departed from Dupage County Airport, which is located in the western suburbs of Chicago. Only the pilot and co-pilot were on board; it was reported that both suffered only minor injuries.

The accident is still under investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Whittaker Street scoops

rigid temperatures and a buildup of snow stopped construction on North Whittaker Street Tuesday, Dec. 26, through Friday, Dec. 29, during week twelve of the North Whittaker Street Redevelopment Phase II project.

The street and sidewalks remained open and passable for vehicles and pedestrians. This is the first week construction has been halted due to weather; however, weather delays were figured into the timeline for completion.

Prior to last week, the weather had been unusually cooperative.

Work performed the week of Monday, Dec. 18, included the completion of storm sewer lines along West Merchant Street and the water main connection at the intersection of North Whittaker Street and US-12/Buffalo Street.

The crews continued to install water service /connections along Whittaker Street, which included the installation of water pits at various underground locations along North Whittaker Street. Work for water service connections will be dependent on weather conditions and limitations, with the possibility of not all of the new services being completed before the winter sets in. Additionally, following the connections, lines may need to be flushed by running the water from taps to eliminate some discoloration that may appear after the water service has been reconnected.

The crews will continue water service installation and connections, weather permitting. The connections to the interior of buildings will require access within buildings. Notices will be distributed to business and residents prior to water service connection work being performed. Short term water interruptions are anticipated. Work for the water service connections will be dependent on weather conditions and limitations.

Businesses and residents are advised to continue to run water during freezing conditions, as was previously done, to prevent freezing until notified that new water system is functional.

The redevelopment plan called for the sanitary sewer to be laid in the middle of the street. The new water service main lines are on the west side of the street, with lateral lines connecting to the east side and the storms sewers running along the east side of North Whittaker Street. All of these installations have been completed.

The replacement of gas lines and burying of electrical lines will take place through the end of February. Crews will install a temporary gravel road on North Whittaker Street until work resumes in the spring. In March, crews will perform the final site grading and install light pole foundations. In April, new lighting will be installed along with new curbs and sidewalks. The final roadway paving, landscaping and site amenities will be done in May. The City of New Buffalo, in partnership with the New Buffalo Downtown Development Authority (DDA), is in the final phase of making much needed improvements to the community’s downtown area. The work underway on North Whittaker Street reflects the final portion of the $4.3 million investment in the downtown, which began last spring on East and West Mechanic and North Barton streets. This work will not only result in the much-needed replacement of water and sewer lines, but also in an entirely new streetscape for the downtown.

Pajay crews scooped their first shovelfuls of asphalt and dirt for North Whittaker Street Phase II Thursday, Oct. 5. The project is expected to be substantially completed by Memorial Day weekend.

The crews will strive to keep the roadway open, where possible, after construction hours and on weekends. Parking on adjacent streets has been developed to serve the downtown area while North Whittaker Street is impacted due to construction and access to businesses will be maintained throughout construction with the exception of a few short closures during water service replacement, depending on location, for safety reasons.

Parking is available on North Barton Street, at the Barton and West Mechanic streets parking lot, on East and West Mechanic street and at the city lot on the corner of Buffalo and North Whittaker streets and on North Thompson Street.

Parking is available on North Whittaker Street when the road is open to traffic.

All construction schedules are subject to change without notice due to weather, underground issues and other unforeseen circumstances.

Paver bricks from North Whittaker Street continue to be available to residents at the boat launch parking lot. No heavy equipment is allowed to sort or load the vintage bricks.

On a weekly basis, Abonmarche, the project’s engineering firm, will hold public tailgate meetings to keep everyone informed. This standing weekly meeting is intended to provide construction updates and to allow residents the opportunity to ask questions regarding the construction process. Meetings will be held be weekly at 9 am. on Thursdays at the northeast corner of North Whittaker and East Mechanic streets (near Subway), with the next one scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 11.

Weekly informational project updates will also be posted to the City of New Buffalo’s website at www.cityofnewbuffalo.org. — COMPILED BY LINDA

Congressman Upton’s Top 10 List highlights New Buffalo erosion Recently, US Congressman Fred Upton (R-Mich.) published his Top 10 List for 2017, with New Buffalo’s erosion problem earning the number one spot.

The following message was published by Upton: As we come to the end of a busy year, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for following our positive campaign. We'll always focus on the issues at hand and as such, I wanted to highlight a few policy wins we secured in 2017 for the betterment of Michigan: 1. R eal results for Southwest Michigan, such as St. Joseph and Holland Harbor dredging, fighting erosion in New Buffalo and St. Joseph, advancing the Allied Paper/Kalamazoo River Superfund cleanup project, action in support of Ft. Custer, and more.

2. 2 1st Century Cures making a difference already.

3. P ro-growth tax reform signed into law.

4. C ritical national security legislation now law.

5. M ichigan public health and jobs legislation now law.

6. P rotections for our Great Lakes continuing.

7. H elp on the way in fight against opioid epidemic.

8. F orever G.I. Bill signed into law to help our vets and their families.

9. Voting to advance Kate's Law and No Sanctuary for Criminals Act, coupled with common-sense reforms to help DACA recipients.

10. S elf-driving car legislation speeds ahead, which will mean more Michigan jobs.

As we approach 2018, please know that I will not stop fighting for what's important to you and our community. While others gleefully play politics and make outlandish claims about my bipartisan record, I'll simply say: the proof is in the pudding. We're getting the job done and we won't stop.

For Michigan, Fred P.S. Please take a moment to follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.

Dreams of a white New Year’s come true LINDA HENDERSON IN NEW BUFFALO | PHOTOS BY SANDY BAKER AND LINDA HENDERSON

he new year came in with a vengeance in Harbor Country as the snow continued to pile up throughout the New Year’s Eve weekend.

The lake effect was not kind to New Buffalo residents, who saw a foot or more of snow accumulate over a three-day period. New Year’s Day was 7 degrees in New Buffalo, with wind chills at -11 degrees and expected to drop throughout the night.

Conditions were not expected to improve through the first week of 2018. The end of the year blizzard followed a few days of mid-week subzero and frigid temperatures.

Area roads were in near white-out conditions and driving was nearly impossible on some area roads, although streets in New Buffalo were plowed on a regular basis. Visibility from the intersection at Buffalo and Whittaker streets was only about a block at times, with no view of the lake at the end of the street; at other times, one could barely see across the street. Exit 28 on I-94 in St. Joseph, Michigan, was completely barricaded, and the road was closed down Saturday, Dec. 30. Further north, in Muskegon, Michigan, there was a 40-car pileup on Route 31 on Saturday.

Miraculously, there were no reported injuries, although motorists were stranded for hours. The South Shore commuter rail service suspended train service from South

Bend, Indiana, to Michigan City. Indiana, on Saturday, and they were providing bus transportation to connect passengers to the rail service into and out of Chicago until the rail conditions improved.

The cold temperatures brought optimism to some.

Residents along the southern shoreline of Lake Michigan need the protection of an ice shelf in the lake. A muchneeded addition, the ice shelf provides protection for the badly eroded shoreline south of the New Buffalo harbor break wall as well as protects the beaches that still exist north of the break wall. Instead of crashing onto the beach and dunes, the waves stop at the ice shelf; however, be aware that any ice formations along the shoreline and beaches can be very unstable, and walking on the ice can be very dangerous and is never advised. This warning includes staying off the New Buffalo break wall jetty. Being safe is the best practice during the frigid winter conditions.

Historically, the average high temperature on New Year’s Eve in New Buffalo is 32 degrees, with a low of 19 degrees. Last year, the high temperature was 45 degrees, with a low of 27 degrees. This New Year’s Eve temperatures were predicted to reach a high of 16 degrees and a low of 3 degrees. Subzero frigid temperatures were predicted for the rest of the week.

A sign is posted at the New Buffalo skiing trails entrance at South Chicago and West Washington streets

Skating, skiing and sledding in Harbor Country The recent blast of snow and cold air has brought winter play time to Harbor Country, as residents and visitors can now enjoy the great outdoors with a bevy of winterthemed activities.

For a twirl around the ice, skaters can visit the ice rinks in both Chikaming Township and the City of New Buffalo.

Chikaming’s rink is located at the Harbert Community Park on Red Arrow Highway, where skates are available for free, while the New Buffalo rink is located just east of the Oselka Park pavilion. Parking is available at both locations. While some people may enjoy utilizing the rinks for figure skating, others may be interested in engaging in hockey matches.

For downhill thrills, the sledding hill in Oselka Park is also open to children and adults.

A new option for winter fun this season is the recently opened New Buffalo cross country trail. Recently, it was announced that the City of New Buffalo and New Buffalo Park and Recreation Board are supporting trail use of several undeveloped rights-of-way. The New Buffalo Area Schools has agreed to allow ski trails on their properties. Turtle Creek Preserve, which is owned by Chikaming Open Lands (COL) and located along Lubke Road in New Buffalo, allows for XC skiing activities on its hiking trails, which interconnect with the New Buffalo Elementary School trails. In the future, unused portions of the elementary school playground may also become groomed trails. Parking is available at Turtle Pond or the elementary school on Lubke Road.

Signs have been installed at the trails’ three entrances.

The trail effort was spearheaded and coordinated by XC skiing volunteers.

Harbor Country Hikers President Pat Fisher has compiled two preliminary maps, one for each side of Lubke Road, that will be available to skiers.

For the region’s four-legged pals, Sari Asher Dog Park, which is located south of Clay Street near Biddle and Washington streets, is open. Pet owners are advised to be cautious of the conditions, as pets and their humans can suffer from frost bite quickly.

Other area activities include downhill skiing at nearby resorts and snowmobiling on the numerous groomed trails located throughout Southwest Michigan. — Compiled by Linda Henderson

Three Oaks A&E Center offering Tuesday classes in T’ai Chi

T

he Three Oaks Arts & Education (A&E) Center is offering T’ai Chi classes Tuesdays from 10-11 a.m., starting Jan. 9. The classes will be led by Edward Vanek. Vanek teaches the Cheng Man-ch’ing style of T’ai Chi, developed by Yang Lu-ch’an, and Vanek traces his own knowledge of the subject directly back to Yang.

“In 2005, the Accident and Compensation Corporation, a New Zealand government body, paid older adults throughout the country to attend T’ai Chi classes in an effort to prevent injury from falling,” Vanek says. “Why? Because studies have shown that practicing T’ai Chi reduces falls by seniors by 45 percent--almost half. Fewer falls means lower healthcare costs and less pain and rehabilitation time. And this is just one benefit from learning and practicing T’ai Chi.” Cost of the lessons is $10 per session. For more information, contact Donna Mitchell by email at schoolofamericanmusic@gmail.com, or by phone at 269-409-1191.

The Three Oaks A&E Center is a unit of the School of American Music, and is located at 14 Maple Street in downtown Three Oaks. — STAFF REPORTS

Take this snow and “shovel it”

T

hey say one shouldn’t see the world in black and white, but that is just how it looks outside when endless days of snow blast the area.

Our streets, porches, steps, driveways and sidewalks are covered in a familiar blanket of white. The weather forecast for the start of this New Year shows little signs of relief. Alas, shoveling is also in the MINIMIZE COLLATERAL forecast.

Avoid dangerous slips and falls by wearing boots with traction.

Invest in a good shovels- one that is lightweight plastic or aluminum with a non-stick coating.

Throw down some de-icing product prior to shoveling. This will make the snow lighter and easier to manage.

More advice from the front lines: Resist the urge to wait until it all stops. Shovel as often as you can before the snow has a chance to stick and freeze, making removal that much harder.

Keep piles of shoveled snow away from the foundation’s walls of your home to help avoid frozen pipes and cracks in your foundation.

When it’s all done, congratulate yourself. Enjoy a reward, like a hot toddy, cocoa or steaming bowl of chili. Take a moment to appreciate nature’s beauty; it’s truly a winter wonderland out there. Then, steel yourself for the rest of the season. Remember, this is just the first battle in a long war. — HOLLY SHULMAN

an it really be 2018? If its true that time flies when you’re having fun, I’m having a ball. Last year flew by like a speeding bullet and this year came in like a lion. Apparently, if you don’t enjoy the snow, being in Chicago to begin the year is a lot better than being in Harbor Country. The cold has hit us both but we missed most of the snow, receiving a few inches on the west side of the lake, compared to a couple of feet on the east side. Hopefully, the cold and snow will return to normal levels in the near future.

The new year brings new hope for all of us. The Bears lost Sunday and fired their coach Monday, so 2018 is filled with promise. The team will get the eighth pick in the draft this year, they will have a new coaching staff, and their quarterback will no longer be a rookie. All of this and so far, this year, they are undefeated. The off season is often the best season for eternal optimists like me.

Speaking of off seasons and optimism, my cup runneth over for Chicago’s baseball teams. Both the Cubs and White Sox begin spring training on February 23, a scant fifty plus days from now. The Cubs should challenge for the championship again and the Sox should begin to show progress as some of the young players they received in trades start to blossom. In a year or two, when both teams are contending for the championship, Chicago will be the baseball capital of the world. I love thinking and talking about baseball when there’s snow on the ground and the temperature is struggling to reach zero.

The only Chicago professional teams currently playing are the Blackhawks and the Bulls, and I’d like to take this opportunity to talk about the Bulls. I spent New Years Eve with a group of my old friends, and sometime during the evening the talk turned to Chicago’s basketball team. After Derrick Rose hurt his knee, the Bulls have been an afterthought in our sports conversations, but their recent winning streak has us talking about them once again. The team, expected to be horrible this year, is playing inspired basketball. Their coach, Fred Hoiberg, is being vindicated in my eyes. I’m often amazed that teams in all sports hire coaches that aren’t good fits with the players on their roster. The Bears this year were a good example. Their coaching staff was extremely defensive oriented, so their rookie quarterback struggled. With the Bulls, the opposite was true. They hired their coach and planned to give him the players he needed to run his offense, but some players became available so they scrapped their plan. The team was left with a mismatch of styles, so the players looked bad and the coach looked worse. Since acquiring some different players who are on the same page as the coach, everyone looks good.

Congratulations are in order for Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish beat LSU In an exciting New Year’s Day battle. The University of Michigan wasn’t as fortunate, losing to South Carolina, but Michigan State routed Washington State earlier in the week. All in all, the college bowl season was outstanding and the championship game between Georgia and Alabama should be a doozy.

Benjamin Franklin said, “Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.”Be kind to one another. Talk to you next week. Peace, love, and happiness.

It’s not the daily increase but daily decrease.

Hack away at the unessential.

OBITUARIES

Nicholas T. Thomopoulos

1917-2017

ominic Joseph Farina, 100 years young, of New Buffalo passed away peacefully on Sunday, December 31, 2017.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Sommerfeld Chapel, 15 N. Barton St., New Buffalo, MI. Dominic was born on May 1, 1917 in Chicago, IL to the late John and Mary (Silvestor) Farina. Dominic started working at his father’s barber shop in New Buffalo. He started out shining shoes and tidying up. When he was 7 he joined his brothers as one of the youngest licensed barbers in the country. His education included a degree in Education from Western MI University in 1939 and a Law degree from Valparaiso Law School in 1942. Dominic served his country as a commissioned officer with the U.S. Army Medical Administrative Corps during WWII. He made 12 ocean crossings and earned several medals, including the American Theater Medal and the WWII Victory Medal. In 2013 Dominic departed on Honor Flight Chicago’s day of honor, a flight from Chicago’s Midway Airport to Washington D.C. and back, to see the WWII Memorial – “It was an amazing day,” he recalled.

Dominic was on leave from the U.S. Army when on Jan. 6, 1945 he married Adelaide Martinal. They settled in New Buffalo where he was a high school teacher and started his law practice. At New Buffalo High School he taught everything from history to social studies and also served as principal from 1947 to 1948. In 1947 the Farinas purchased the New Buffalo Savings & Loan Building. Perhaps his greatest contribution to the New Buffalo community came from his service to the savings bank as a board director. Countless people now own homes and businesses because of Farina’s efforts and commitments to New Buffalo and surrounding communities. He began his law practice in 1954 and developed a distinguished legal career lasting 55 years. Dominic was honored by the Berrien County Bar Association and received the 2011 Frances A. ‘Mike’ Jones Memorial Community Service Award for Outstanding Service to the Community and the Berrien County Bar Association. For all the changes and evolution during his careers, Dominic’s friendly demeanor and love for his work remained constant for his self-described “plain little old country lawyer.” He will be greatly missed by many.

Dominic is survived by his wife of nearly 73 years – Adelaide; his children – Richard (Susan) Farina of Centreville, VA, Mary Ann (Bill) Vanderbrook of New Buffalo, Ronald Farina of New Buffalo, and Paul (Anna) Farina of Cincinnati, OH; six grandchildren and eight great grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his parents, infant twin brothers and brothers – Joseph and Russell, and sister – Mary Calnin.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be on Friday, Jan. 5, 12 noon, at St. Mary of the Lake Church in New Buffalo, with Father John Peter Ambrose officiating. Family will receive friends at the church from 10:30am until time of service. Burial will follow at Pine Grove Cemetery in New Buffalo.

In lieu of flowers the family asks that memorial donations be made to St. Mary’s Church. Friends wishing to leave the family a message of condolence may do so at www.sommerfeldchapel.com.

1930-2017

icholas T. Thomopoulos (87), a generous and loving man, passed on December 23, 2017.

Beloved husband of 53 years to Elaine Cotsirilos Thomopoulos.

Loving father of Marie (Mathieu) Sussman, Melina (Joseph) Collins, Diana (Mark) Patterson, Christopher Thomopoulos. Cherished grandfather to Lauren, Daniel and Jillian Sussman, Grace and Michael Collins, Christopher, Kayden and Jonah Patterson. Beloved son of the late Nicholas and Marie (Avgoustinos) Thomopoulos.

Adored brother of the late Marge (John) Faklis, Olga (Wayne) Bancroft, Katherine (Bernard) Hiles, Daniel (Namie) Thomopoulos. He was a devoted brother-in-law, uncle, cousin and loyal friend to many.

Nick was born in Chicago to parents who immigrated from Zakynthos, Greece.

Nick was the youngest of seven children; two died while young from diphtheria (Christopher and Demetrios). When Nick was a baby, his father died leaving his mother with no other relatives in America.

Nick enjoyed growing up in the Greek immigrant neighborhood near Sheffield & Diversey during the Depression. He had a childhood rich with tradition and filled with friendships that lasted a lifetime. The hardships of the family’s early life built strong bonds that fostered a loving and supportive environment. Nick found his greatest reward in his family. His love for his family was only matched by his pride in them. Married 53 years, Nick was dedicated to his wife Elaine and the family they created; spending some of their best family moments in his second home in Bridgman, MI. Nick received a B.S. in business (1953) from the University of Illinois. He then served in the U.S. Army (1953 to 1955) rising to the rank of sergeant. Upon his return to Chicago, he received an MA in mathematics (1959) from the University of Illinois.

While working full-time at International Harvester, he attended Illinois Institute of Technology at night, and began teaching classes. In 1966, he received a Ph.D. in industrial engineering from Illinois Tech.

He taught at IIT for 44 years and authored over 70 articles and eleven books.

He retired as professor emeritus in 2010. In 2009, he received the Outstanding Alumni Achievement Award from IIT. He was the thesis advisor to over 30 Ph.D. graduates. He received numerous awards including the Rist Prize in 1972 for new developments in queuing theory, the Outstanding Teacher Award from the Stuart School of Business in 1996; and the Outstanding Alumni Achievement Award from IIT in 2009. Nick developed new mathematical methods in the design of cottonpicker cams and agriculture plows; was a pioneer in formulating mixed-model assembly methods; conceived a way to measure airplane noise by the neighborhoods' surrounding airports; created queuing methods to design radio communication systems for the U.S. Navy; and designed forecast and inventory software used by more than 100 companies worldwide. Along with being a consultant, he was inventor of the Gridiron Football Card Game and was the founder of FIC Inc. (Forecasting & Inventory Consultants, Inc.) Visitation was Thursday, December 28, 2017 from 5 – 8:30 p.m. at Salerno’s Galewood Chapels 1857 N. Harlem Ave. Chicago. Friday morning at Assumption Greek Orthodox Church 601 S. Central Ave. Chicago, IL was the 10:30 a.m. funeral service. Interment followed at Elmwood Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, a donation would be appreciated in care of his name to either Assumption Greek Orthodox Church, 601 S. Central, Chicago, IL, 60644 or Annunciation & St. Paraskevi Greek Orthodox Church, PO Box 93, New Buffalo, MI, 49117 or the Sierra Club.

Arrangements by NICHOLAS M. PISHOS FUNERAL DIRECTOR, LTD. Info: 773889-1700.

While Whittaker Street may be dusty and muddy, remember that the businesses are still open, and it is a great time to support small business and your town. It is an exciting time that will be worth every bit of the inconvenience; however, we all really need and appreciate your support.

HOR0SCOPE JANUARY 4-10, 2018

AS INTERPRETED BY SANDY “STAR” BENDT ARIES

MARCH 21—APRIL 19

LIBRA

SEPTEMBER 23—OCTOBER 22

There will be a lot going on in your public life and your reputation or standing in the community will need some attention. This is a great time to evaluate what you are aligning yourself with. Perhaps some rebranding is in order, but there will be things you won’t be able to get away from.

You generally don’t smother people and like them to make their own way, but this week you will feel very strongly about making others feel safe and secure, even if they don’t want it or need it. You may have the resources to take care of others but they may not accept your help at this time.

TAURUS

SCORPIO

APRIL 20—MAY 20

OCTOBER 23—NOVEMBER 21

Your mind is full of ideas this week, and you are ready to venture out explore their potentials. There is a strong need to share your experiences and communicate heavily with others, but don’t rely on outside input too much. There are some things you need to experience and do on your own.

Things will be getting much more serous in the neighborhood or with siblings. You can expect more serious talks and plans to develop this week. You should rely on your primary skills of reading and writing when connecting with others because they are at their most effective now.

GEMINI

SAGITTARIUS

MAY 21—JUNE 21

NOVEMBER 22—DECEMBER 21

This could be a very intense week, with most of the pressure stemming from your past commitments.

Situations will feel like they are inescapable but don’t worry because you will have tremendous staying power and focus, giving you the ability to push through whatever gets in your way.

Monetary issues will be handled much more efficiently now. You will be able to trim a lot of fat from your budget, which will handsomely increase your reserves over the next several months. You won’t mind handling things on your own now either, which will cut down on the drama too.

CANCER

CAPRICORN

JUNE 22—JULY 22

DECEMBER 22—JANUARY 19

Your relationship skills will be put to the test this week because you will be working closely with a small group or on a one-on-one project, which will require you to communicate more effectively than you normally do. Rely on previous presentations to communicate more efficiently now.

You may feel the weight of home and family, and its corresponding responsibilities this week, but that is because you are developing as an individual and moving away from home and family issues and into your own personal space and issues. Your social connections are where it’s at now.

LEO

AQUARIUS

JULY 23—AUGUST 22

JANUARY 20—FEBRUARY 18

Things will be getting very serious at work. Whether you are having to put in longer hours or having to deal with a coworker that disrupts your schedule, you will need to adapt to unexpected demands of your time. Luckily, you will have a lot of extra energy and you’ll be ready for those extra hours.

Quiet and unaccompanied are not normally associated with Aquarius, but this week you will enjoy spending time alone to reflect on your life. Communicating with others will only be a drag and the best way to approach conversations is with logic and rationality, rather than emotions.

VIRGO

PISCES

AUGUST 23—SEPTEMBER 22

This is a highly productive and creative time for Virgo.

Don’t let outside drama or intense vibrations keep you from manifesting your creative potentials. You may have some naysayers, but it’s because they don’t hold the same visions you do. Trust in your ability to follow things through to completion.

FEBRUARY 19—MARCH 20

This week you will be all about getting discussions started and promoting the growth of ideas. You will enjoy getting people together to debate and hash out differences. Creating places where ideas can be shared in a safe way will bring in stronger resources and stabilize your social structures.
