The Toronto Police Servicehas stigmatized a senior of-ficer facing internal bully-ing and sexual harassmentcharges and deprived himof the presumption of inno-cence at his upcoming dis-ciplinary hearing, hislawyers say.

Staff Insp. Steve Izzettwas charged last year withinsubordination, discred-itable conduct and deceitunder the Police ServicesAct for actions that alleged-

ly included the inappropri-ate kissing and touching ofa female subordinate offi-cer, bullying and destroyingcomputer files after learn-ing he was under investiga-tion.

Last October, Keith Hoi-lett, the retired judge hear-ing the case, denied Izzett’smotion challenging his ju-risdiction and asking thatthe charges be dismissedbecause of procedural mis-steps by the Toronto Police

Service. Izzett’s lawyer,Won Kim, had argued thepolice service continued itsinternal investigationlonger than allowed. Izzettthen appealed Hoilett’s de-cision to Divisional Court,which dismissed his appli-cation in April of this year,calling it premature.

Today, Izzett is bringinga motion seeking leave toappeal from that divisionalcourt ruling. It is a “writ-ten” hearing with no oral

legal arguments. Izzett’sdisciplinary hearing at po-lice headquarters is sched-uled to begin next Monday.

In their factum, Kim andco-counsel Megan McPheesay the Divisional Courtmade a “clear departure

from the established princi-ples of law that challengesto jurisdiction ought to beheard at the outset of a pro-ceeding.”

The factum also statesthe Toronto Police Servicehas engaged in the “intimi-dation of witnesses,” disci-plining senior officerswhich “serves to intimidateothers who might other-wise serve as positive de-fence witnesses…” TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Seven of Toronto’s beaches meet world-class environment and safetystandards But Lake Ontario can’t seem to shake its dirty reputation

People have been taking advantage of warm, sunny days strolling at Toronto’s Woodbine Beach throughout

the spring and summer. Woodbine is one of the city’s Blue Flag beaches.

TARA WALTON/TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

The sand at WoodbineBeaches feels hot enoughto melt the flip-flops offyour feet.

The air is thick and fore-heads are dripping, butfew sun seekers choose tocool off in the lake.

Tamia Sparks, who bee-lines to Woodbine nearlyevery summer weekend,says she would rather seeher seven-year-old daugh-ter build sand castles thanventure into the water.

Toronto beaches justcan’t seem to shake LakeOntario’s dirty reputationeven though seven of

them — including Wood-bine — are rated amongthe best in the world bythe international Blue FlagProgramme.

“It’s not easy to get ablue flag,” says Toronto Wa-ter spokesperson CherylSan Juan. “These are world-class beaches.”

But local beachgoersseem to find that hard tobelieve. “It doesn’t looksafe,” says Megan Robert-son, eyeing the cloudyWoodbine surf. Still, she’schosen to swim: “It’s prettyhot so I want to cool off.”TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

With cranes revving up thissummer for work on a newacademic building and thepromise of a $170-millionaquatic centre on the PanAm horizon, the Universityof Toronto’s once sleepy“spillover” Scarboroughcampus is now ground zeroof a growth surge.

While the 10,000 stu-dents here — twice asmany as seven years ago —do need extra space, theuniversity president pre-dicts the $78-millionmakeover boom will ener-gize the community.

“Growing this campus is

also about city-building, us-ing U of T Scarborough as acatalyst, a sort of centre ofgravity for the communi-ty,” said Dr. David Naylor.TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Blue flag rating

To score a blue flag, a

beach must meet a long

list of standards set out in

four categories. Here’s an

overview:

First, it has to be greenand clean — no unautho-rized camping or driving,no dumping and strict con-trol of doggie doo.The beach should promoteenvironmental educationactivities, display mapsand develop a beach codeof conduct.

The water quality must besupreme. No industrialwaste, no sewage leaksand the beach must betested regularly for E.coliand other bacteria levels.Finally, safety matters. Thebeach must havelifeguards, first aid equip-ment and drinking water.And at least one Blue Flagbeach in each municipalitymust be accessible to peo-ple with physical disabili-ties.For the full list ofstandards, visit www.blueflag.org

The controversial deathsentence by stoning for anIranian woman convictedof adultery will not be im-plemented for now, said ajudicial official yesterday.

Malek Ajdar Sharifi, thetop judicial official in theprovince where the motherof two was convicted, toldthe Iranian state newsagency that her crimeswere “various and very seri-ous” and not limited toadultery, but that the sen-tence “will not be imple-mented for the time being.”

He added Sakineh Mo-hammadi Ashtiani’s ston-ing would still take place ifthe judiciary wanted, de-spite the “propaganda” bythe West.

The U.S., Britain and in-ternational human rightsgroups have all urgedTehran not to carry out thesentence.

Human Rights Watch,

one of several groups publi-cizing Ashtiani’s case, saidshe was first convicted in2006 of having an “illicit re-lationship” with two menfollowing the death of herhusband — for which acourt in Tabriz sentencedher to 99 lashes.

But she was later convict-ed of adultery, despite hav-ing retracted a confessionwhich she claims was madeunder duress. Stoning waswidely imposed in the yearsfollowing the 1979 Islamicrevolution, and eventhough Iran’s judiciary stillregularly hands down suchsentences, they are oftenconverted to other punish-ments.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Conservative govern-ment is spending $240,000to conduct polls on howCanadians feel about greenenergy while renewable-energy producers complaintheir industry is in jeopardybecause it lacks funding.

Documents obtained byThe Canadian Press indi-cate that Natural Re-sources Minister ChristianParadis recently signed offon a plan to conduct exten-

sive public-opinion re-search on issues rangingfrom the clean-energyeconomy to the EnergyStar symbol seen on house-hold appliances.

The plan was finalizedin the weeks after the fed-eral budget, which hadraised the ire of environ-mental groups for whatthey perceived as a paltrylevel of funding for green-energy projects.

Renewable energy pro-ducers said Ottawa imper-illed their industry byfailing to guarantee long-term funding for theecoEnergy program, whichwas set up in 2007 to pro-vide $1.4 billion in funding.

The program is slated torun out in 2011 which,critics say, effectively endssubsidies for solar andwind energy projects.THE CANADIAN PRESS

Prime Minister StephenHarper used a hometownspeech Saturday night totout his party’s victorieswhile warning of the po-tential perils of what hecalled an “opposition coali-tion” victory.

Harper blasted all threeopposition parties in aspeech before a cheeringtent full of party faithful,including many Tory MPsand provincial Conserva-tive members at his annu-al Stampede barbecue.

“They’re moving evercloser together. They don’tthink they can beat usalone, so what they hope isthat next time they can de-ny us a majority and thenform a coalition of losingparties,” he told the crowd,which often interruptedhim with cheers.

“Friends, a Liberal-NDP-Bloc Quebecois coalition issomething we can neverlet happen to this country.”

Liberal Leader MichaelIgnatieff has flatly ruledout any non-compete dealsor mergers.

He left the door opento considering a coalitiongovernment, but only af-ter the next election,should the results make acoalition necessary andfeasible.

Ignatieff spoke at a sepa-rate Stampede event sever-al hours before Harper tookthe stage.

He served up breakfastand fired off his own barbsabout the Tories underHarper’s leadership.THE CANADIAN PRESS

When United Nations Sec-retary-General Ban Ki-moon calls $5.3 billion USa “down payment”, it’s ob-vious sign that massive

amounts of money are re-quired.

$5.3 billion is the sumthe international communi-ty has pledged to Haiti overthe next two years. After thetwo-year period, Haiti willreceive another $4.6 billion.

At a New York confer-

ence last month, the U.S.,the EU, the World Bank andother major internationalentities co-ordinated theiraid effort to the quake-stricken country for thenext several years.

But Haiti’s needs won’tend with that.

“A decade is the firststage of aid to Haiti”, saysMark Schneider, Senior VicePresident at the Internation-al Crisis Group.

“A generation is the sec-ond stage.”

Haiti’s 2009 GDP was$11.9 billion.

The $9.9 billion US aid forHaiti comes at the tail of anunprecedented aid effortafter the earthquake,where organizations likeDoctors Without Bordersplayed an important role.

As independent organi-zations, these groups won’treceive any funds from the$9.9 billion reconstructionpackage.

UN Secretary-GeneralBan Ki-Moon promised thatthe unprecedented human-itarian intervention will bemonitored by a internet-based tracking system. Inaddition, Haitian PresidentRené Garcia Préval and for-mer U.S. president BillClinton head a commissioncharged with ensuring thatthe funds are well-spent.

“There has been corrup-tion and waste of money,particularly in the distribu-tion of food,” said MarilynAllen, head of Transparency

International’s Haiti chap-ter. “But it’s very difficult totrack because there’s no of-ficial monitoring of howmuch money has been re-ceived. USAID has been ex-emplary on publishingwhich organizations it hasgiven money to, and forwhat. All aid organizationsshould do the same.”

Robotic submarines work-ing 1.6 kilometres under-water removed a leakingcap from the gushing Gulfoil well Saturday, startinga painful trade-off: Mil-lions more crude will flowfreely into the sea for atleast two days until a new

seal can be mounted tocapture all of it.

There’s no guarantee forsuch a delicate operation,officials said, and the per-manent fix of plugging thewell from the bottom isstill slated for August. “It’snot like putting a cap on a

tube of toothpaste,” CoastGuard spokes man Capt.James McPherson said.

BP aims to have thenew, tighter cap in place asearly as today.

The plan, which was ac-celerated to take advantageof a window of good weath-

er, didn’t inspire confi-dence in the residents ofthe oil-slicked coast. “This isprobably the sixth or sev-enth method they’ve tried,”said Deano Bonano, direc-tor of emergency prepared-ness for Jefferson Parish.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The solution to the GTA’s transportation future isin the hands of car drivers — or rather, theirpockets. The question is how long it will take forthem to realize increased charges for drivingmay be the key to reducing the severity of trafficcongestion?

Noteworthy

Although reports show travel times are wors-ening steadily, motorists have so far justgrumbled and put up with it. More cars arepouring onto Toronto’s roads every year, butmany motorists lash out at any proposal toshift people to transit through tolls and

increased funding for rail expansion. However, this acceptance of creeping congestion could

turn to anger if people suddenly wake up and decide theyare spending too long behind the wheel. Many would de-mand politicians deal with the traffic nightmare, even if itmeans drastically raising taxes. But such a tipping pointcould come too late — it takes years to build newinfrastructure and Toronto’s economic competitivenessmay be damaged beyond easy repair.

Transit riders would suffer more from crowded roadconditions until motorists have a change of heart. Alas,

people who use buses are generally seen to have less po-litical clout than those who drive.

Fortunately, some GTA citizens are willing to talkabout the consequences of ignoring congestion growth —even if politicians won’t. Groups like the Toronto CitySummit Alliance and others are taking a hard look at vari-ous ways to raise needed transport funds. (See torontoal-liance.ca for its report Time To Get Serious.)

If and when our governments are ready for a realdebate on gridlock solutions, an array of well-studiedtools will already be available. Citizen experts are nowweighing the relative benefit of highway tolls, gas taxes,car ownership fees and parking levies. And they do notshy from admitting the potential downside of eachoption.

One idea stands out — dedicating the extra pennies thenew HST has just added to every litre of gas. Doing sowould pump needed cash into the GTA’s transport plan —and show motorists their taxes are making a difference.

The two-minute clip of MelGibson using a racial slurand calling his ex-girlfrienda “whore” during an argu-ment are unlikely to be thelast ugly words the publichears from the actor.

RadarOnline.com, thecelebrity website that post-ed the recording Friday,says there’s more wherethat came from.

For 10 days, the site hasposted written transcriptsof secret recordings it saidGibson’s former girlfriend,Russian singer Oksana Grig-orieva, had made. The snip-pet released Friday is thefirst audio of the confronta-tions that have been aired.

The clip includes seg-ments in which a voice thatsounds distinctly like theAcademy Award winner isheard telling Grigorievathat she is dressing tooprovocatively and that itwould be her fault if shewere raped. He uses the N-word, a racial epithet, atone point. The recording islaced with his profanity.

Shortly after the post-

ing, entertainment newsoutlets reported that Gib-son had been dropped bytalent agency WilliamMorris Endeavor, althoughthat decision appeared tohave been made days ago.The agency did not returnphone calls and an emailseeking comment.

David Perel, RadarOn-line’s founder and execu-

tive vice-president, said thesite had heard “a substan-tial portion” of 30 minutesof recordings Grigorievahad made. Perel said moreaudio clips will likely be re-leased in coming days. Thesite reported the she madethe recordings because shewas afraid Gibson mightharm her.

The Los Angeles County

Sheriff’s Department is in-vestigating allegations thatGibson was involved in adomestic violence incidentwith Grigorieva, withwhom he has an eight-month-old daughter.

Gibson’s camp remainedsilent about the recording.Spokesman Alan Nierobdid not issue a comment onthe audio’s contents. Grig-orieva’s lawyer, MarciLevine, also did not returna phone message.

It is the second high-pro-file incident in which Gib-son has been accused ofusing slurs and degradingwomen.

He apologized after hisdrunken driving arrest in2006 after it was revealedby TMZ that he had madeanti-Semitic and sexistcomments.

In the recent record-ings, the actor is heardcriticizing Grigorieva forthe way she dresses. He ac-cuses her of lying to himabout having breast im-plants. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Studies on summer learn-ing show that studentswho continue to learn overthe summer have a consid-erable advantage when thenext grade begins.

“By taking part in someform of learning duringthe summer, studentsmaintain their academicmomentum, and avoidfalling behind in majorsubject areas such asmath, reading, and com-

prehension,” says Dr. NickWhitehead, founder andCEO of Oxford Learning.

According to White-head, it’s much easier forstudents to start a newschool year having main-tained their learning mo-mentum, than it is toreturn to school unpre-pared.

“Students who start thenew school year ahead aremore likely to stay aheadfor the entire school year.They struggle less and areactively learning from dayone,” he says.

While most studentsbalk at the idea of summerschool, summer learning ismore than just repair workfor poor grades; it predictsbetter academic perform-ance in the coming schoolyear.

“We need to change theway that we think aboutsummer and summerlearning,” says Whitehead.“Summer break is actually

an opportunity for stu-dents to make serious aca-demic gains, and get ahead start on next year’sgrades.” NEWS CANADA

Spain’s place among worldsoccer’s all-time greatestteams was assured yester-day when Andres Iniestascored with four minutesof extra time remaining tobeat the Netherlands 1-0and clinch his country’sfirst World Cup.

With the teams facing apenalty shootout after anoften ill-tempered game of

few clear chances, Iniestacollected a sliding pass in-to the area from substituteCesc Fabregas andsmashed the ball acrossgoalkeeper Maarten Steke-lenburg and in at the farpost.

The goal clinchedSpain’s fourth straight 1-0victory in South Africa andmade the team only thethird to be world and Euro-pean champion at thesame time.

“This really is quite acup,” Spain goalkeeper Ik-er Casillas said. “The Euro-pean Championship wasthe most important mo-ment of our lives, but to-day is much bigger thananything else.”

At the final whistle, theSpanish players hurried toswap their blue shirts fortheir more familiar red

colours in time to collectthe trophy. They donnedshirts decorated with a sin-gle gold star to mark theirtriumph, becoming theeighth nation to receivethe honour in the tourna-ment’s 80-year history.

“I can’t quite believe ityet,” said Iniesta, who wasvoted man of the match. “Ihad the opportunity toscore that goal which wasso important to my team.It’s something absolutelyincredible. I simply made asmall contribution to myteam in a match that wasvery rough.”

The Dutch playerstrudged forlornly to collecttheir runners-up medals,the third squad from theNetherlands to finish sec-ond in soccer’s biggestgame.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ugly play doesn’t tipmatch Netherlands’ way

The Dutch were bent onshowing that they couldwin ugly for their firstWorld Cup title, but theyonly got the ugly partright.

With eight yellow cards,one red and endless argu-ing that even spilled overbeyond the final whistle,the Netherlands lost muchmore than 1-0 to Spain inthe final — it lost a lot ofits credibility as creativemasters as well.

Netherlands coach Bertvan Marwijk has taught histeam to win ugly when itneeded.

“I would have loved towin it with football that isnot so beautiful,” he said.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The average Canadianemits about 24 tonnes ofCO2 per year. Many areworking to reduce their car-bon footprint, but conserva-tion, commuting and otherchanges only go so far.

That’s where carbon off-sets come in. They allowyou to pay — between $20and $30 per tonne — forthe carbon you emit.There’s no financial returnon these investments, butthe money directly fundsnew technological break-throughs that can clean upthe atmosphere for every-one. Here are the basics ofcarbon offsetting:

How do carbon offsets work?

“You can purchase car-bon offsets, and we then in-vest that money in cleantechnology projects,” saysKari Grist, senior vice presi-dent of marketing for Off-setters, a private, for-profit

company specializing inthe carbon market. “If anorganization like GroupAeroplan wants to be car-bon-neutral — and they are— we have projects that sellcarbon credits to us, whichwe then, in turn, sell toGroup Aeroplan.”

Who collects the money?

Offsetters is one of sever-al companies offering car-

bon offsets. They also doextensive research to en-sure the new technologiesthey fund really will reduceCanada’s extensive carbonfootprint.

“We take the funds, andgive it to organizations thatimplement the new tech-nology,” Grist says.

“Often, these organiza-tions can’t fund a new tech-nology on their own.”

The market is growing

rapidly. Canadians paid tooffset 93-million tonnes ofCO2 in 2009, up from 12-million in 2005.

Where does the money go?

“For it to be a high-quali-ty offset credit, there arestandards that (a project)has to adhere to,” Grist ex-plains. “One is that the off-set is real and permanent –measured by third-partyvalidators.”

If you can’t stand to live off the grid, you can find other ways to chip in

Being carbon neutral is now the goal of many companies.

Offsetting your footprint Know your city

TDSB The Toronto DistrictSchool Board recentlysigned a deal with Green-ing Canada Fund. Underthe agreement, the TDSBwill begin selling carboncredits to GCF — creditscreated by the board’s ef-forts to reduce itsgreenhouse gas emissions.The deal is expected togenerate $1.7 million infunding for city schools.

For lots of people, work-life balance is a never-ending battle with manythings and people com-peting for our time andenergy. While it’s impos-sible to control all the fac-tors that impact work-lifebalance, help achieve abetter synergy by follow-ing these five simple tips:

1Slow Down. Life is sim-ply too short, so don’t

let it pass you by. Taketime to stop and enjoythe things and peoplearound you. Plandowntime into your weekand find some ways todistance yourself fromthe things that cause youthe most stress.

2Use technology tostreamline schedules.

While a pen and papercan help keep you ontrack, don’t overlooktechnology as yet anotherweapon to make the mosteffective use of your day.Tools like MicrosoftOffice Outlook 2010 letyou link each member ofyour family’s calendar al-lowing you to see whateveryone’s got going onso you can planaccordingly.

3Protect your personaltime. Effective time

management involvesknowing when to shutthings down. Turning offa cell phone or otherwireless device establish-

es boundaries betweenyour personal and profes-sional time.

4Share the Load. Youdon’t need to do it all.

Really. Even though wemay sometimes feel we’rethe only ones capable ofdoing something, it’s usu-ally not the case. Get yourspouse or children tohelp you with yourpersonal/family responsi-bilities. Managing andtaking care of the house-hold should not be the re-sponsibility of just oneperson.

5 Learn to say “no.” Tak-ing on too many tasks

can be stressful and over-whelming. Learn to say

no to things when there’stoo much on your plate.This applies to both work and personal com-mitments. Rather thanfeeling guilty, you’ll learn that saying “no”can be reallyempowering.NEWS CANADA

Loss to Sox dropsJays under .500

Even with a better-than-expected record throughhalf of the season, manag-er Cito Gaston wasn’t will-ing to give the TorontoBlue Jays a pass heading in-to the all-star break.

After losing 3-2 to theBoston Red Sox yesterday,the Jays entered the breakat 44-45. It’s the samerecord they held after 89games last season whenthey still had ace pitcherRoy Halladay, who wastraded to Philadelphia forprospects in December.

“I know it’s good butI’m always not satisfiedwith just saying good,” said

Gaston. “That’s so easy togo and say well we’ve donegreat this half. I’d just liketo see us do better. Buteverybody expected us tobe way behind Baltimorein last place and wehaven’t done that.

“I don’t think we’re go-ing to do that. I thinkwe’re going to come backand play a little bit better(than) in the first half.”

Starting pitching andthe ability to hit homeruns have been brightspots for the Jays through-out the season, and theyremained Toronto’sstrengths yesterday.

When playing a sport we all focus on theimportance of our training. But have youalso considered how to feed and replen-ish your body's strength?Follow the example of the champion ClaraHughes, who has been drinking soymilkfor several years and still, at the age of 37,competes with athletes in their twenties!To be well prepared or to recover after aworkout, what could be better then Natur-a, one of the most popular soy beveragesin Canada? Soymilk is in fact a greatsource of energy for the body, containingprotein, essential vitamins, minerals andcalcium in every glass. Free from choles-terol and preservatives, the Natur-a`ssoymilk recipe has been proving it's worthsince 1993! Produced locally in Sainte-Hyacinthe andcertified organic, Natur-a soymilk has noartificial ingredients and is also dairy-free.Being the only vegetable that is a com-plete protein, the soy bean is a greatsource of nutrition for athletes and a per-fect one for vegetarians, vegans, and lac-tose-intolerant folks who still want toexercise and be athletic! Available in a variety of flavors includingunsweetened, original, vanilla, chocolate,and strawberry, Natur-a soymilk productsall contain less sugar then milk, and thateven includes the chocolate! So thosewith a sweet tooth can take pleasure intheir glass of soy milk all the while stayinghealthy!Low in fat, Natur-a is a perfect drink forworld class athletes, many of whom, likeClara Hughes, drink it regularly. Everyglass of Natur-a soymilk contains 45% ofthe recommended daily portion of vitaminD as well as 30% of your recommendeddaily calcium intake.Since 2007, Health Canada has also rec-ognized the benefits of soymilk, recom-mending that Canadians drink 2 to 4glasses of soymilk per day. As rich as milk

in essential nutrients this recommendationsatisfies our daily calcium needs andhelps maintain a balanced diet.Nutrisoyaʼs healthy focus meets its com-munity commitment by yearly providingthousands of free portions of Natur-asoymilk to youth athletes playing soccer,hockey, ringette and cycling.

How can you use soymilk?Everywhere you would use milk!

Andof course you can always have a tall glassof soymilk every morning or after everyworkout!

Follow the advice and recipes of cham-pion Clara Hughes on Nutrisoya's websiteat www.nutrisoy.com or www.naturaplus.ca.

One serving of Natur-a chocolate soymilkcontains only 15 grams of sugar com-pared to 29 grams in a glass of regularchocolate milk, in other words that is 14fewer grams of sugar in every glass!

1998 - France wins soccer’s World

Cup, beating heavily favoured Brazil

3-0 in the championship match.

2005 - Miguel Tejada and Mark Teix-

eira lead the American League to a 7-

5 win over the National League in

Detroit for its eighth straight win.

Tejada, the game’s MVP, homers off

John Smoltz to start the scoring and

Teixeira adds a two-run drive off

Dontrelle Willis.

Lance Armstrong

BRYN LENNON/GETTY IMAGES

Close the book on the LanceArmstrong era at the Tourde France. He has.

The record seven-timechampion wrote off hischances of victory in his13th and last Tour, sig-nalling the beginning of theend of one of the most cele-brated and controversial ca-reers in cycling history.

The 38-year-old Texan’shopes for yet another title

were dashed yesterday afterhe got caught in three crash-es — one of which broughthim down — and struggledto keep up during two toughclimbs in Stage 8, the race’sfirst foray into the Alps. Heand his team said his hip gotbanged up, keeping himfrom pedalling hard.

The stage was won by 25-year-old Andy Schleck ofLuxembourg, and Arm-

strong finished nearly 12minutes back, in 61st place.

World champion CadelEvans of Australia took theyellow jersey by finishing 10seconds behind Schleck, butwell ahead of overnightleader Sylvain Chavanel ofFrance.

“My Tour is finished,”said Armstrong, who fell to39th overall. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Today’s horoscope

Aries March 21-April 20Keep your plans to yourselftoday, and keep people whotry to nose into your private af-fairs at arm’s length.

Taurus April 23-May 21 Anydoubts you may have hadabout what you are planningto do with the rest of your lifewill now disappear. Don’tworry that the journey aheadlooks tough — just put onefoot in front of the other andkeep walking.

Gemini May 22-June 21 Theodds are most definitely in yourfavour at the moment, so makethings easy for yourself andswim with the tide rather thanagainst it. Do you know whereyou are going? Do you care?The mystery is part of the fun.

Cancer June 22-July 22 Arepeople taking advantage ofyour easygoing nature?Maybe, but if it isn’t causingyou any particular harm whyworry about it? There is nopoint getting angry with peo-ple who take a little bit.

Leo July 23-Aug.23 You cansense that something dramaticis going to happen. What thatsomething might be is impos-sible to know for certain but,whatever it is, it will be fun.

Virgo Aug. 24- Sept. 22 Youmight like to change the worldbut that simply isn’t possible.You can, however, changeyourself, and that should beyour number one aim over thenext few days. Be a good ex-ample.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 23 Whatseemed like a setback a fewdays ago now looks com-pletely different, which onlygoes to show how foolish itcan be to jump to conclusions.Life is good and getting betterby the day.

Scorpio Oct. 24-Nov. 22 Youcannot avoid your responsibili-ties. Not that you want to, ofcourse. Employers and otherimportant people will behugely impressed by yourcommitment.

Sagittarius Nov. 23-Dec. 21 Your power tochange things may be limited atthe moment but there is noneed to get frustrated about it.It won’t be long before you areback in command.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 20If you want something enoughyou can find a way to get it. Doyou believe that? You should,because belief is the first stepto making it happen. The sec-ond step is to have a plan.

Aquarius Jan. 21-Feb. 18Someone you are close to feelsa little bit neglected and youreally should do somethingabout it. Find ways to remindthem what they mean to you.

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20The Sun in Cancer means thisis a fortunate time for you andwhatever you do over the nextfew days will be a completesuccess. Does that mean youcan try anything? It most cer-tainly does. Gets you thinking,doesn’t it. SALLY BROMPTON
