TEACHERS’ AID Despite state revenue plummeting because of the coronavirus, Gov. Ron DeSantis signs bill for $500 million in teacher raises.

TALLAHASSEE — Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill on Wednesday, June 24 to raise the minimum

teacher salary to $47,500 and provide other raises at a cost of $500 million despite state revenue plummeting because of the coronavirus. Raising teacher salaries was a top priority for DeSantis during the legislative session that ended with a budget being approved in mid-March – just as the state was shutting down because of the pandemic. Florida has no income tax and relies heavily on tourism and its sales tax for revenue, and has been hit hard by a drop in visitors. “We’ve had a little bit of changes in everything happening in our world since then, so it was quite a challenge to make sure that even though we fought for it, that we’d be able to actually do it in the budget,” DeSantis said at a bill signing ceremony in a Miami-Dade County school. “(It’s) a different fiscal picture than what we were dealing with in January, February and early March.” Lawmakers approved $500 million toward teacher pay raises – $400 million to boost the minimum teacher salary and $100 million for other pay raises. The money was less than the $900 million that

DeSantis requested when he proclaimed last fall that it would be the “Year of the Teacher.” DeSantis said other budget items he supports will be chopped when he finally signs the budget that goes into effect on July 1. The governor is able to veto specific line items in the $92 billion spending plan approved by lawmakers. “Although we have not made every decision about the budget, this will be there 100 percent. We’re going to have to make tough choices, but this is important,” DeSantis said. The signing elicited praise from the Florida Education Association – the teachers union that more often clashes with Republican leadership. “This $500 million investment in Florida’s teachers is especially meaningful given the current circumstances. It speaks to the deep value of public education to our state’s future,” said union President Fedrick Ingram in a news release. “The decision to leave this investment for Florida’s schools intact is an acknowledgement of the hard work our members do each and every day for Florida’s students.” DeSantis was surrounded by Democratic and Republican lawmakers when he signed the bill. He said his hope is that it will help the state recruit teachers. “Obviously, you’re not going to get rich doing it, just like police officers don’t get rich,” DeSantis said. “You do it because you have a servant’s heart, but it sure makes it easier if you have a good minimum salary and are able to make ends meet.” Republican Sen. Rob Bradley, the budget chief for his chamber, said people questioned whether DeSantis would be able to keep his promise. “People said, after Covid, this shouldn’t happen. Should we even do this anymore? But today, it’s happening. Promise made, promise kept. The year of the teacher is a reality,” he said at the DeSantis bill signing.

TALLAHASSEE — A grieving mother’s plea to Florida lawmakers was fulfilled when Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a measure requiring schools to do more to protect student athletes from heat strokes, including having water-filled tubs at games and practices to rapidly cool the body. Laurie Giordano had lobbied the Florida Legislature to approve legislation that would require high schools to act more quickly when student athletes show signs of heat stroke and other heat-related stresses. The new law, known as the Zachary Martin Act, was among 23 bills signed by
the governor June 23. The legislation is named after Giordano’s 16-year-old son, a strapping 300-pound, 6-foot-4 offensive gridiron lineman who collapsed during practice three years ago. He had just finished running sprints with his teammates in the sweltering South Florida heat. After some confusion on the sidelines, he was rushed to the hospital, where he died 11 days later. After her son’s death, Giordano created a foundation in his name that has donated dozens of cooling tubs to schools across Florida. With the governor’s signature, public
schools will be required to have a tub or other large container filled with cold water at the sidelines during all games and practices. Schools also will be required to have defibrillators to resuscitate stricken athletes. The new law also requires schools to train personnel on how to recognize signs of heat-related ailments, including potentially deadly heat strokes, and to take life-saving actions. The law will go into effect July 1, but because of the coronavirus pandemic it is still uncertain whether some sports programs will resume when Florida’s public HEAT STROKE / PAGE 6

PBSC to add two new bachelor’s degrees starting this fall
Palm Beach State College will begin offering two new bachelor’s degree programs this fall. The Florida Board of Education approved the College’s proposals to launch a Bachelor of Science in Cardiopulmonary Sciences and a Bachelor of Science in Human Services. The programs will bring the number of bachelor’s degrees offered by the college to five. The Cardiopulmonary Sciences bachelor’s degree will be the first offered at a public institution in South Florida and the third in the Florida College System. It was developed in response to a growing demand
for respiratory therapists, which began before the coronavirus outbreak. It also comes as the respiratory care field is shifting toward more stringent expectations for beginning workers. “We’re giving students more education in order to sit for advanced credentials, specifically adult critical care specialist and neonatal/pediatric specialist,” said Dr. Nancy Latimer, a professor and department chair for the Respiratory Care program, who developed the bachelor’s program. The B.S. in Human Services creates a pathway for students who complete PBSC’s Human Services Associate in Science degree, which has three tracks: Human Services General, Addictions Studies and Youth Development.
Serving Insurance Needs in South Florida Since 1994
“Each night as we watch the news we are flooded with stories of pain and suffering in our world from the opioid crisis and mental health conditions to mass shootings and poverty,” said Dr. Suzie Duff, professor and department chair for the A.S. program. “Even now with the COVID-19 pandemic, people are struggling with anxiety. Human Services professionals all over the nation help to address these needs by providing resources, assistance and help where it is needed most,” Duff added.
Office Depot donates $10,000 to Habitat for Humanity PBC
Habitat for Humanity of Palm Beach County recently received a $10,000 donation from Office Depot. The donation will go toward general affiliate support during the Covid-19 pandemic, and directly help with Habitat homeowner assistance. The donation comes at a time when homes have become more costly to build as Habitat volunteer opportunities have come to a standstill. Habitat’s construction staff alone is working extra hard to keep home production on schedule for future homeowners. “Office Depot has been a strong supporter of Habitat, and their continued commitment to Habitat families is heartwarming

Wellington limits Village Hall hours in response to increase in Covid-19 cases
In response to the recent increase in Palm Beach County Covid-19 cases, Wellington officials announced on June 24 the following changes in operations: Village Hall will be open for in-person service Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. starting June 29. Residents

SCENE FROM WEST PALM by Aaron Wormus | awormus@palmswestmonthly.com
Downtown restaurants coping by takin’ it to the streets Downtown restaurants are now permitted to extend café seating into streets, parking lots and alleyways, thanks to a downtown initiative called “Dining on the Spot.” It’s sunset and I’m enjoying a frosty beverage at The Treehouse, downtown’s newest – and highest – rooftop lounge. The Treehouse sits 13 stories high atop the brand new Canopy hotel at the corner of Trinity Place and S. Dixie Highway. West Palm is the first Florida location for this luxury Hilton brand. Its grand opening had been carefully choreographed to coincide with the Palm Beach International Boat Show in March. But instead of ending the season with SunFest and the boat show, our bustling city ground to a halt with a mandatory stay-at-home order. The hotel opening was postponed, but the creativity of the Canopy team kicked into gear. Instead of welcoming guests into its 150 rooms, room lights were selectively turned on to create a seven-story giant glowing heart which was visible throughout downtown. Now, two months later, after a quiet hotel opening, I find myself on the top floor of this luxurious hotel sitting at the large community table with lounge music in the background and the sound of hotel guests coming off the pool area. I have a stunning view of The Breakers and the Intracoastal to the east, the sun is setting over Rosemary Square and Clear Lake to the west, and right ahead of me I can see the twinkling lights of the Clematis Street district. On the first floor, against a backdrop of a six-story, fiber-

optic art installation and a 60-foot-tall green wall made of 165-year-old barn wood, the signature restaurant Banter is serving dinner. Guests are enjoying a menu full of handcrafted selections created by its five-star resort-veteran executive chef. It’s a sign that things are slowly coming back to life. The rest of downtown is slowly opening up again. After the initial closure, many restaurants attempted to provide take-out only but quickly found that business wasn’t sufficient to stay open. Restaurants that stayed open did so with a reduced staff. Once able to re-open, businesses were concerned that they did not have enough space within their restaurants to comply with the social distancing rules. That’s when the Downtown Development Authority stepped up and started a program to allow restaurants to use more of the sidewalk, and even roads, for dining. Tables were set up outside, tents and umbrellas were permitted and paid for by the DDA. “We’ll be able to seat around 350 people safely on the 200 block of Clematis Street alone,” said DDA
Executive Director Raphael Clemente. “In addition to the tables, chairs and umbrellas, we will be adding trash cans, hand sanitizer areas and create a centralized sidewalk within the road closure area for both safety and enjoyment.” The project, named “Dining on the Spot,” started on Clematis Street but soon expanded to include restaurants and cafes on Dixie, Evernia and South Olive. Cars and emergency vehicles still navigate through the streets, but there are tables on the sidewalks and families are dining at their favorite restaurants for the first time in months. People are out enjoying a warm summer evening while maintaining CDC’s guidelines of six-foot distancing between tables. The public’s health and safety are forefront as city officials think about planning upcoming events. In any other year, we would be gearing up for our beloved 4th on Flagler. This popular event traditionally brings thousands of people to West Palm Beach’s beautiful waterfront for fireworks, food, music and festivities. The planned festivi-
ties were cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and instead residents are encouraged to order food from their local restaurants and have a “POP” – party on their porch. The city is planning fireworks in two secret locations in the north and south ends of the city. Some residents will be able to watch the fireworks from their porch parties, others will be able to stream it live on WPBF 25. “While unique, this is one of the most exciting Fourth
of July celebrations we have ever hosted,” said Mary Pinak, Community Events manager for the City of West Palm Beach’s Department of Parks and Recreation, who has been part of organizing nearly every 4th on Flagler since its inception. “We are thrilled to reach even more people with our creative ideas and fireworks,” she added. “We hope everyone who joins us virtually this year will mark their calendar to join us in person next year.” So, to all our readers, have a happy 4th of July! Please remember to support your local restaurants by ordering out, and then enjoy the celebration and fireworks from your porch. As for me, before I leave Canopy, I’m going to make my reservations for the 4th of July, 2021. The view of the fireworks from The Treehouse will be spectacular!

Wellington to offer drive-in style viewing for July 4th fireworks
This year, Wellington residents can celebrate Independence Day on July 4 with two live fireworks displays from the comfort of their cars and their living rooms. Two Zambelli Fireworks displays will take place simultaneously at Village Park, 11700 Pierson Rd., and the Wellington Green Park, adjacent to The Mall at Wellington Green. Gates for parking at Village Park will open at 8 p.m. Both shows, which begin at 9:15 p.m., will be viewable from nearby homes as well as in the parking lots at the The Mall at Wellington Green and Village Park. A video featuring the fireworks display set to music will be streamed live starting at 9:15 p.m. on Wellingtonfl.gov/ TV and also on WellingtonTV at
Comcast Channel 18 and AT&T Uverse Channel 99. Village officials ask residents who can view the fireworks from home not to park near the displays in order to minimize traffic. Residents who park near a fireworks display must remain in or immediately adjacent to their vehicles. Masks must be worn outside of vehicles and social distancing guidelines must be followed. Tailgating, alcohol, personal fireworks and pets are prohibited.
WPB’s 4th on Flagler cancelled, but live fireworks viewable on WPBF 25 Though West Palm Beach cancelled its popular 4th on Flagler festivities along the waterfront this year, the city is
still moving forward with plans to celebrate Independence Day. The city will host fireworks displays at two undisclosed locations – one on the north end and one on the south end – at a time to be announced. Residents near the fireworks displays will be able to view the fireworks live in the night sky while others can catch the shows on TV thanks to a partnership with WPBF 25. The broadcast will also be streamed live on wpbf.com and the WPBF 25 news app. The city is also promoting “POP” – parties on their porch – to help residents party at home. Residents are encouraged to visit wpb.org and click on “DIY 4th of July” for online content including how-to videos for Fourth of July recipes, decorations and games.

It takes 4,000 poll workers to staff more than 400 electionday polling locations and phone banks, and the county is hoping to keep as many locations open as possible. “Combined locations lead to longer lines on Election Day. We want to avoid that if possible, but we need help from those who are able to work,” said Supervisor of Elections Wendy Sartory Link. “We have
PPE and are instituting many safeguards to protect our poll workers and voters.” All poll worker positions are paid positions. Voters interested in working the polls in August are asked to sign up online as soon as possible by clicking the Poll Workers tab at pbcelections.org or call (561) 656-6200 and ask to speak with the poll worker department.
State ranks first in heat-related deaths among student athletes HEAT STROKE / FROM PAGE 1
schools reopen in August. Even if heat stroke does not lead to death, it can cause severe damage to the brain or other internal organs. Florida’s scorching summer temperatures and intense humidity have contributed to hundreds of cases of heat-related injuries. According to a legislative analysis produced for the bill, Florida led the country in heat-
related deaths among student athletes, with at least four since 2011. More than 460 student athletes in Florida were treated for exertional heat stroke during the 2017-18 school year. The National Center for Catastrophic Sports Injury Research said 47 high school football players died from heat stroke or related complications between 1995 and 2019. Nearly all of those deaths happened during routine practices.

THE VILLAGE IDIOT by Jim Mullen
Nothing more boring than people who say they’re bored People say golf is boring. Boy, is it ever. I know because I’m out there every sunny day being bored to death. I guess the “golf is boring” crowd thinks someone my age should be out there playing something much more exciting, like football or field hockey or basketball. Sorry guys, but despite what you see in the commercials for Cialis and just-for-men vitamins, most people my age cannot windsurf or run marathons or marry women 45 years younger than we are. Although I’m a boring old man who plays golf, I never seem to have time to sit on the sofa and watch hour after hour of non-boring TV shows about extreme cooking, the housewives of who cares, guessing the prices of things I don’t want, buying houses I can’t afford in foreign lands and “Judge Judy.” What’s surprising is how many people who never get off the sofa think that playing golf is boring. But I have an idea that would make golf much more exciting for them. Cheerleaders! Why is it that just football and basketball have cheerleaders? Because, obviously, they are boring sports. Otherwise, why would they need cheerleaders to spice things up? Why don’t baseball, hockey, tennis, swimming, skiing, track and field and curling have cheer-
leaders? Think of the benefits. Every time a baseball player looks as if he’s going to scratch or spit – boom – the camera could go to the cheerleaders. It wouldn’t make the game go any faster, but it might seem like it. It sure works for football. It’s funny that the people who complain about the slow pace of baseball will happily sit in front of the TV for four or five hours to watch a one-hour football game. Many, many more hours if they watch the pre- and post-game shows that endlessly talk about the stuff the fans are about to, or
just did see. Talk about boring. The pace of a televised football game makes a round of golf or a baseball game seem like an action-packed and blazingly fast video game. The word “boring” interests me. It’s been my experience that people who say they are bored, are boring. Books should be written about it. It is the cause of much suffering. It’s a big world, there’s plenty to do, there’s plenty that needs to be done. You could be learning to speak French, you could be volunteering at a soup kitchen, you could be reading
a best-seller, you could be calling your friends, you could be listening to music, you could be exercising, bowling, ice skating, knitting, hiking, fishing, gardening, playing cards, games, jigsaw puzzles – the list is endless. Why, you could even golf. Certainly, you can find something you like to do no matter how small your town or how remote it is. Being bored is a choice. Why would anyone choose to be bored? Because nothing comes up to their high standards of not being boring. Instead, the bored get into cars,
they text, they drink, they go too fast and crash into trees. YouTube is full of bored people accidentally lighting themselves on fire, destroying their own cars, chopping down the wrong trees, hurting themselves in innumerable and unspeakable ways. It’s like that old joke: What are the last words of a bored redneck? “Hey guys, watch this!” Not bored now, are you? Oh, I forgot, there is nothing on Earth more boring than waiting for some painkiller in the emergency room while more serious cases are taken inside as you sit in the waiting room bleeding and in agony. The good news is that you’re keeping a lot of EMTs, nurses and doctors from being bored. Yeah, golfing is so boring. I can’t believe I’m going to do it again tomorrow.

Health Matters CDC posts long-awaited tips for minimizing everyday risk
If you are a health professional who would like to submit an article to Health Matters, please send an e-mail to newsdesk@PalmsWestMonthly.com for details.
By MIKE STOBBE AP Medical Writer
NEW YORK — Take the stairs, not the elevator, down from your hotel room. Encourage people to bring their own food and drinks to your cookout. Use hand sanitizer after banking at an ATM. Call ahead to restaurants and nail salons to make sure staff are wearing face coverings. And no high-fives – or even elbow bumps – at the gym. These are some of the tips in long-awaited guidance from U.S. health officials about how to reduce risk of coronavirus infection for Americans who are attempting some semblance of normal life. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention posted the guidelines Friday, June 12, along with a second set for organizing and attending big gatherings such as concerts, sporting events, protests and political rallies. But the guidelines are “not intended to endorse any particular type of event,” the CDC’s Dr. Jay Butler said in a call with reporters. The staging and attendance of such events should be in accordance with what local health officials are advising, based on how much the coronavirus is spreading in a particular community, he added.

In this Thursday, June 11 file photo, Andrea Castaneda cleans the railings at Universal CityWalk near Universal City, Calif. On Friday, June 12, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention posted guidelines to reduce the risk of COVID-19 coronavirus infection, along with a set of “considerations” for organizing and attending mass gatherings, as people emerge from stay-athome lock downs and attempt some semblance of normal life.
The guidelines are long overdue, some health experts say. Julia Marcus, a Harvard Medical School infectious disease researcher, has likened stay-at-home suggestions to “abstinence-only” messaging and has pressed for advice to help people minimize risk. She said she was delighted by the
CDC’s tips. “I think it’s a huge step in the right direction,” Marcus said. “These guidelines are really directed toward ordinary Americans trying to make decisions about risk every day.” But there are notable omissions. There’s nothing about precautions to take before

going to church, no guidance about dating and sex and no explicit advice on a topic that some doctors say they get asked all the time: Is it OK to take the kids to visit grandparents? “Visiting grandma is something I must address three times a week,” said Dr. William Schaffner, a Vanderbilt University infectious disease expert. “My empathy goes out to the CDC. It’s very, very difficult to have a precise answer for every circumstance,” he added. Stay-at-home orders, school shutdowns and business closings were followed by a national flattening in the rate of new cases. In recent weeks, many states have started reopening as they face pressure to get the pandemicdamaged economy going again. And cases are rising in nearly half the states, including Florida, according to an Associated Press analysis.

The CDC has put out many sets of guidelines, including some for churches, camps, schools and transit agencies. But until now, the organization hasn’t offered specific advice to people trying to decide how to safely do things like take vacations, get their nails done, host barbecues, visit a bank or library, go out to eat or exercise at a gym. Other organizations have been trying to fill the void, and some have addressed questions the CDC didn’t. New York City’s health department in mid-June released guidelines for having sex during the coronavirus outbreak. The department advised people to have sex only with those who are close to them, and not with multiple partners. It also suggested washing hands before sex, wearing a mask during it, and said “be creative with sexual positions and physical barriers, like walls, that allow sexual contact while preventing close face to face contact.” The CDC’s director, Dr. Robert Redfield, called his agency’s new guidelines “common sense suggestions,” not mandates. State or local governments may want to reimpose stricter measures if new outbreaks occur, but that’s a call for them to make, CDC officials said. The guidelines repeat earlier advice about wearing face coverings, especially if it’s difficult to keep at least six feet away from other people. They also offer a list of questions people should consider before going out, and some things to think about in particular situations. For example, it suggests that house parties be held outside, guests be greeted with a wave instead of a hug and that everyone bring their own food and drinks. To read the guidelines from the CDC, go online to cdc.gov/ coronavirus/2019-ncov.

Michigan man wins $4M lottery scratch card game, again
SOUTH ROCKWOOD, Mich. — How does he do it? For the second time, a southeastern Michigan man has won a $4 million lottery game, officials said in mid-June. Mark Clark of South Rockwood scratched a ticket with a coin that was given to him by his late father about 10 years ago. They often fished together after Clark won a different $4 million instant game in 2017. “You don’t think you’ll win millions once, and you definitely never think it would happen twice,” Clark, 50, said in a statement released by the Michigan Lottery. “It’s hard to put into words exactly what I am feeling. ... I can’t help but think maybe that lucky coin helped me win this.” Clark chose a lump sum of about $2.5 million instead of taking $4 million in payments over time. “I’ve had a lot of ups and a lot of downs in my life, but everything is pretty amazing right now,’’ Clark said.
Oh snap! Police capture 65-pound turtle from Virginia suburb ALEXANDRIA, Va. — A 65-pound alligator snapping turtle with a face only its
mother could love has found a new home at a Virginia zoo after freaking out residents in a northern Virginia suburb. The turtle, dubbed Lord Fairfax, was repeatedly crossing a residential road in the Alexandria area, according to Fairfax County Police. Not native to the area, the alligator snapping turtle is generally found in the wild farther south. Animal control officers initially took Lord Fairfax to the county animal shelter, and then to the state Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. The fisheries folks say the turtle is just a juvenile and could eventually grow as big as 200 pounds. They say the northern Virginia climate would have been too cold for him to live in the wild. He will live instead at The Virginia Zoo in Norfolk.
Man pays off ticket nearly 42 years after it was issued
YORK, Maine — A man paid off a Maine parking ticket from Long Sands Beach – nearly 42 years after it was issued. Gary Urgonski mailed a letter, the ticket from July 28, 1978, and a $4 check – $3 for the fine and a $1 late fee – to the York Police Department, the Portsmouth Herald reported. The letter read in part, “I hope I can now safely travel through the state of Maine
without always looking in my rearview mirror.” The Massachusetts resident said he’s sure he deserved the ticket and intended to pay it, but forgot about it over the years. “We had to do an immediate double take on the date, thinking it was 2018 on the ticket,” York Police Lt. John Lizanecz told the newspaper. “Upon closer examination of the ticket itself, the number didn’t correlate to anything we have now. Then we realized it was from 1978, and not 2018.” “It was just amazing, pretty comical,” he said. Lizanecz called Urgonski to confirm that the department received the check, but there are no plans to cash it. Instead, Urgonski said the check will be framed and mounted on a wall in the department.
9-year-old Tenn. boy catches 80-pound lake sturgeon
HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. — A nine-year-old boy in Tennessee became the third child in his family to catch a monster fish, reeling in an 80-pound sturgeon that outweighed him by far. Coye Price was eager to catch something big after his 11-yearold sister Caitlin hooked
a 40-pound striper and his 8-year-old sister Farrah reeled in a 58-pound blue catfish a while back, the Tennessee Wildlife and Resource Agency said in a May Facebook post. “Coye had been saying, ‘Man, I don’t have nothing on these girls, I’ve got to catch a big fish,’” Coye’s father, Chris, told the Tennessean. “So not only did he catch a bigger fish than they had, but sturgeon are rare, which is the other cool part about it.” Coye, who weighs just 55-pounds, was targeting catfish in Old Hickory Lake before he hooked the sturgeon. It took him 15 minutes to get the fish in the boat, where they weighed it and took some pictures before returning it to the water, the Tennessean reported. The endangered lake sturgeon are some of the largest and longest-living fish in Tennessee, the state’s wildlife agency said. There have been efforts to restore the species, which can grow up to eight feet and live up to 150 years, after their population declined due to reasons including overfishing and habitat loss.
Florida city known for mermaids now sleeps with the fishes WEEKI WACHEE, Fla. — A Florida city known for its mermaid shows now sleeps with the fishes. Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation on June 9, dissolving the city of Weeki Wachee. The city located about 50 miles north of Tampa was founded in 1966 to help put the Weeki Wachee mermaid attraction at a state park onto maps and road signs, according to the Tampa Bay Times. But with only 13 residents, the city was insolvent and offered no visible services to a small business community paying its taxes. The city’s demise will have no real effect on the Weeki Wachee Springs State Park, officials said. The mermaids at Weeki Wachee State Park have been a staple of Florida tourism since 1947. Women dressed in fishtails perform underwater shows in the springs while viewed by an audience sitting in a theater on the other side of a glass partition. The park is currently closed because of coronavirus concerns.

Aries (March 21 – April 20) You’d make it easier on yourself if you could just figure out how to back off when things aren’t working. Persistence doesn’t always pay off. In this situation starting all over again might make a lot more sense. Taurus (April 21 – May 21) If you think your will has governance over people and their choices you haven’t learned that none of this is up to you. Disengage enough to allow every other factor in this equation enough time to state its case. Gemini (May 22 – June 21) It’s less about how far you’re willing to go and more about can you get there from here? You have yet to figure out that getting off to a new start may require you to loosen your ties to the old ground. Cancer (June 22 – July 23) You’re so caught up in your own story you forget that it isn’t who you are. How can you detach from things that have made you the centerpiece of small town gossip? A temporary change of scenery would be therapeutic.
Leo (July 24 – Aug. 23) By the time you figure out what you need to do it will be safer to go ahead with it. In this situation, all of the facts aren’t in and there will be no clear path to follow until everyone speaks their mind. Virgo (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23) If you think your ideals apply to anyone but you, you’re wrong. You’re dealing with someone whose sense of integrity has flown the coop. Don’t put anything past them and don’t let sentiment cloud your objectivity. Libra (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23) You don’t know if you’re coming or going. This uncertainty is calling you to reinvent yourself. Taking the best of what you’ve done so far and kicking it up a notch competes with the idea of starting all over again. Scorpio (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22) The restless switch is turned on. The sense that you can’t keep this going has you burning up with a raft of new plans. Keep them coming. The ants in your pants are a sign that you need to go out and get a life.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21) Something’s come full circle. As your karma unfolds you see that your lessons are about to involve extensive research into the way you treat others and into the ways in which you allow yourself to be exploited. Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20) At a time when you could have easily broken things off you’re here and very much with it on some level. In order to make it worth your while you need to be absolutely sure that others are 100 percent there for it too. Aquarius (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19) Random forms of interference have distracted you temporarily. Much of this is none of your concern. At some point getting back on the ball will require you to stop being the one who handles it all. Pisces (Feb. 20 – March 20) At a time when having too much time to think might make you crazy you have all kinds of distractions. In the moments when nothing’s going on don’t get carried away over analyzing things that couldn’t be helped.
