sistance to 404 Squadron’s
Block III Implementation
Flight for future CT serials

The launch of CT 0 is the
direct result of the hard work
and long hours put in by
many 14 Wing personnel.
Block III Implementation
Flight (aircrew and maintenance flights), Maritime
Proving & Evaluation Unit,
404 Squadron simulator

part in reaching this significant milestone.
The course itself has a
planned duration of approximately nine weeks. The first
three weeks will be conducted via distance learning, while the remainder will
include in-house lectures,
demonstrations, simulator

Reservists top
of the class
Sara Keddy,
Managing editor
February 14, two 14 Wing
Greenwood Reservists were
recognized for top marks on
an international program.
Master Corporal David Murray and Sergeant Michelle
Rerrie, both 29-year Canadian
Armed Forces members, spent
six and five weeks, respectively, on leadership courses at
the United States Air National
Guard Leadership Academy.
In the Non Commissioned Officer Academy, a class of 260
students, Rerrie, a deployment
readiness instructor, was a
distinguished graduate (in the
top 10 per cent of the class).
Murray, an avionics project
technician at the base’s Maritime Proving and Evaluation
Unit, was also a distinguished
graduate – and the overall top
the Aurora | 14 Wing Greenwood, NS
March 25, 2013
student among a 60-member
class.
“It makes me feel all warm
inside to hear about two of
our Royal Canadian Air Force
folks’ top performance,” said
14 Wing Greenwood Commander Colonel Jim Irvine, at
a headquarters event to welcome the Reservists back to
the base. “I tell you, I’ve served
in NATO and my squadron
commander was American.
I’ve noticed Americans don’t
hand out these distinctions
very often to non-Americans,
and the fact we have these two
is a testament to the RCAF and
our great people.”
Murray and Rerrie were two
of four Canadians taken in the
courses, and both say the opportunity was a unique chance
to train in the United States
– and have their own experiences in the CAF brought into
Sergeant Michelle Rerrie and Master Corporal David Murray were presented with Wing Commanders’ Coins by
14 Wing Greenwood Commander Colonel Jim Irvine (left) and Wing Chief Warrant Officer Pierrot Jetté (right)
for their recent outstanding performance on the US Air National Guard Leadership Academy course.
Private N.Clarkson, 14 AMS Wing Imaging
class discussions.
“They’d always turn to us
and ask how in Canada we do
things,” said Murray, although
he had a hard job convincing
his classmates to not ask him
how CAF drill patterns look as
he was trying to learn and lead
American-style formations on
the parade square.
Both agree the leadership
skills and concepts they learned
were valuable, with new theory
and many reinforcements of
what they’ve followed throughout their careers.
Neither work now in supervisory roles as Reservists, but
their years of experience and
day-to-day opportunities to
mentor younger CAF person-
nel will make use of these
courses’ lessons.
“We still have things we
feel we can contribute to the
organization – and we’re here
because we want to be,” said
Rerrie.

Lighting it up
Museum’s LED transformation
making big difference
Sara Keddy,
Managing editor
One bulb at a time, the
Greenwood Military Aviation
Museum is making a difference.
A trial project is underway
to swap out 110 incandescent
light bulbs with LED bulbs,
with a three-way saving in
mind.
“Ultraviolet light is hard
on the artefacts,” says Wing
Heritage Officer Major Bob
Johnson, “and, a side effect of
the new LED bulbs is a much
lower electric consumption.”
A report backing the trial esWing Heritage Officer Major Bob Johnson gets a helping
hand from volunteer Brian Handley (retired colonel), timates the museum’s 20,000
changing up the way things look – and are lit – at the kilowatt hours used per year
Greenwood Military Aviation Museum.
S.Keddy
could be decimated to just
1,700 KW.
“We calculated it all out,
and we’re just floored – that’s
quite a bit. It’s a $2,000 job
to change out the light bulbs,
we get a $14 per bulb rebate
from Conserve Nova Scotia,
we’ll save a tonne of money
on electricity and these LED
bulbs have a life span of up
to 40,000 hours. Right now,
I’m up changing burned out
bulbs a handful at a time every
month.
“We can’t go wrong.”
The LED bulbs are smaller,
but the museum has devised
an ingenuous way to retrofit fixtures: a drilled out CD
slipped behind the bulb not
only makes the bulb fit, but
it’s actually directing more
light down onto exhibits than
ever before. In the past, a lot
of light “spill” went up, making
shadows and lighting up the
ceiling, and also “haloing” on
the walls.
“We started replacing some
of the bulbs as a trial so everyone can see the before and
after lighting of the exhibits,”
Johnson says. Overhead fixtures and showcase bar-style
LEDs have been in place for a
couple of weeks.
“Exhibits were dull and lit
with yellow light, and hard to
read. You can see the difference in what it can do.”
Johnson is sharing information about the lighting project
with other Canadian Air Force
museums, and says 14 Wing
Greenwood’s Wing Environment office is “very excited”
with the initiative.
“The base has a high consciousness of going ‘green’,”
Johnson says, “and this project
here at the museum will show
people just what can be done.”

Séances d’information préalables au déménagement
Vous êtes affecté – Et maintenant?
Nous encourageons vivement les militaires et leurs
conjoints qui seront affectés
au cours de la période des
affectations 2013 à assister à
l’une des deux séances d’information obligatoires sur les
affectations qui auront lieu le
26 mars à 13 h 30, le 9 avril à
18 h ou le 10 avril à 13 h 30 au
Centre d’instruction Birchall.
« Si vous êtes dans des logements familiaux (LF), il y a certaines choses que vous devez
faire. Si vous avez des enfants,
des ressources et des services
de garderie seront offerts pour
vous aider, car le déménagement est souvent difficile pour
les familles. La base dispose
d’une liste de libération comportant de nombreux cases qui
doivent être cochées », affirme
le caporal-chef Kathleen Snow,
commis de soutien à la gestion
des ressources de la salle des
rapports de l’escadre.
Toute cette information
sera examinée lors des séances d’information, avec des
présentateurs de l’Agence
de logement des Forces canadiennes, du Centre de ressources pour les familles des

Lorsque le déménagement
devient pénible, dit-elle, il
y a de l’aide : le CRFM, les
aumôniers et les travailleurs
sociaux de la base ainsi que les
pairs militaires qui ont réussi à
traverser des périodes difficiles
de changement peuvent partager leur expérience, offrir un
soutien en matière de gestion
du stress et de déménagement.
Post out briefing highlights the process
You’re posted – now what?
Military members and their
spouses who will be posted
through the 2013 posting season are urged to attend one of
three mandatory posting-out
briefings: March 26 at 1:30
p.m., April 9 at 6 p.m. and April
10 at 1:30 p.m., at the Birchall
Training Centre.
“If you are in PMQs (Private Married Quarters), there
are things you need to do,”
says Master Corporal Kathleen
Snow, a resource management
support clerk in the Wing Orderly Room. “If you have children, there are resources and
childcare to help – sometimes
it’s difficult to make a move for
families. There’s a clearing out
list for the base with tonnes
of places on it that need to be
checked off.”
All of this information will
be reviewed at the briefings,
with speakers from the Canadian Forces Housing Agency,
the military family resources
centre, Brookfield Global Relo-
cation Services and the Furniture and Effects Section. Hard
copies of information guides
will be available (on-line, find
what you need at http://www.
irp-pri.com/policies_directives/
cf_members/).
When a move becomes a
challenge, Snow says, there is
help: the MFRC, base padres
and social workers, and military
peers who have lived through
change can share in the experience, with support for stress to
handy packing tips.

Eagle award for unit leader, volunteer
Sara Keddy,
Managing editor
Flight Sergeant John Shakelton stands out. It could be his
Royal Air Force uniform and
British accent, but, here at 14
Wing Greenwood, it’s his work
ethic and willingness to help
the community that earned
him 405 Squadron’s NonCommissioned Member Eagle
of the Year Award for 2012.
Shakelton has been here
with his family for two years,
on an RAF exchange. The
22-year RAF acoustics operator has a busy and successful professional 2012, taking
part in three multi-national
anti-submarine warfare exercises and a joint services
northern operation, in which
he achieved the top category
as an ASO and was appointed
lead AES. At 405, he was a
flight safety team member
and squadron sports officer,
including the squadron curling
team manager.
The other contributions
Shakelton has made, he prefers to keep “low-key,” but
they stand out just as much.
He organized a crew march
in August, the Eagle Charity
March, 56 kilometres to Lake
Pleasant from Greenwood,
raising funds for the Soldier
On Program and the Children’s
Wish Foundation. He also led
a squadron toy drive at Christmas for children at the IWK
Hospital in Halifax, coming up
with $750 worth of donations
he personally delivered.
And, he’s starting 2013 off
on a charitable foot already,
with an Easter egg jar guessing
contest to benefit the Valley
Health Foundation’s Our Community, Our Health Campaign
in aid of hospital improvements and a new hospice.
While the prize is chocolate,
the goal is to raise what he can
for the health campaign.
“The whole squadron supports the community, really,”
Shakelton says, “directly, or
as coaches or leaders there
are lots of outside interests
among the members, and it
all promotes the Air Force in
a good light. Wherever you
go, the military supports the
community.”
In Britain, Shakelton was a
coach himself of junior cricket
and a fitness instructor, and his
RAF unit was just as busy in
its community lending a hand.
“You see a lot of people
doing a good stuff, and the
generosity of Canadians is
amazing.”

Bit by bit
New life being found for old health centre fixtures
Sara Keddy,
Managing editor
Rick Nippard compares the
people now working in 14 Wing
Greenwood’s old health centre
to a bunch of “crows,” as base
branches salvage all kinds of
materiel in advance of the building’s demolition this spring.
“The guys are like crows,
walking around saying, ‘I’ll
take this, I’ll take that,’” Nippard, 14 Wing’s engineering
officer, says. “All of it will be
used for Department of National
Defence purposes, or disposed
of properly.”
The building dates back to
the 1940s, and had long outlived its practicality as a health
centre for 26 Canadian Forces
Health Services. Health services
actually combined in January
from several 14 Wing locations
into a new building, just across
the road.
A walk through the old building is telling.
“It’s old – you wouldn’t reConstruction Engineering electrician Wayne Hodder

original operating room lights,
clinic signage and a few other
“heritage” items has been handled, as some of these items
will be incorporated into a bit
of a mini-museum display in
the new centre.
Nippard and base crews have
also kept in mind the building’s
age and environmental issues
that have been identified, including asbestos tiles and grout
– “all of these materials would
have been standard through the
years, but when we demolish
the building, we have to take extra care in how we do it, dispose
of the material and ensure our
contractors know what they’re
involved with.”
Lead pipes have all been
identified, oil tanks have all
been removed and special attention was also paid to a tank
in the basement that has collected – for decades – the bits
of mercury filings spit into the
sink by dental patients.
“Gross,” Nippard says, but
handled.
The demolition tender should
be out in the next few weeks,
and Nippard expects a contractor will have the job done by the
end of April or May.
“Once they’re in, they can
salvage as they go, take everything off site and either sell
it or dispose of it; then take
the building down. We want a
clear, empty, landscaped site
in the end.”
Corrections
In an article in the March 18 Aurora Newspaper, Jessie Wright
was referred to as an employee of the Flight Line Café; she is not.
She is an active supporter of Boomer’s Legacy charity events.
Also in the March 18 issue, the C&E bonspiel article was
incorrectly identified as the Atlantic Regional Construction and
Engineering Bonspiel. This should have been spelled out as the
Communications & Electronics Bonspiel.
The Aurora apologizes for the errors.

Old, open space chance to check out emergency skills
Sara Keddy,
Managing editor
If this was real, it would
need to be correct.
And safe.
14 Wing Greenwood Fire
and Emergency Services
crews have been working
on those goals in training
exercises this month, making
use of the abandoned rooms,
hallways and fixtures of the
former health clinic.
Fire Chief Captain Bruce
Paradis gets set to pull the
alarm.
S.Keddy
Fire crews train regularly in
their smoke house and burn
tower, and practice skills
for crash rescue, confined
spaces and hazardous materials. There are running cards
on file at the station detailing
every building’s specifications and, while firefighters
can access base buildings
for actual training in spaces
they may be called to during
an emergency, “we have to
move gingerly,” says Fire
Chief Captain Bruce Paradis.
“It’s an occupied workspace. While part of our training is property preservation
and protecting any evidence
at a fire scene, with this building, we can do more, different
things.”
26 Canadian Forces Health
Services has been out of
their 60-year-old home since
January, and fire crews have
been in and out a number
of times, squeezing in work
with self-contained breathing
apparatus, room searches,
smoke and black-out drills,
collapsed ceiling scenarios
and – yes – breaking a few
deadbolts and poking a few
holes with their pikes and
axes in the walls and roof to
follow the same paths fire
might as it spreads.
“We’ve been really getting
them going,” said Paradis,
as he set a scene March 12
involving two downed victims
in the darkened corridors and
backrooms that needed to
be rescued. After ne notified
the base’s Military Police and
Wing Operations, he pulled
the alarm.
“The crew that’s on, they
don’t know this is coming.
When they get here, I’ll tell
them where the fire is, and
they go in.”
Red Crew was on call for
this exercise, arriving at
the old building’s main entrance within minutes. A walk
around, and then set-up and
suiting up, and the lead three
firefighters were in, working
their way down the hallway,
checking doors, hauling hose
and checking in constantly
with each other and firefighters outside with the truck.
Master Warrant Officer
Les Blackmore followed the
lead trio down the halls, describing the fire, smoke and
scene he and Paradis were
envisioning.
“I have a mental picture,
and it’s a matter of them
thinking along the same
lines,” Blackmore said.
To the firefighters: “Speed
- a quick check, move on. If
you think there is a the possibility – and there always
is – of there being a casualty,
you’ve got to get them out
fast. Watch that hallway and
advance. Speed!”
The firefighters worked
with one man on the hose,
covering the other two as they
went ahead checking the old
offices along the corridors.
“As long as you’re in sight
of your nozzle, he’s got protection on you,” Blackmore
reminded them “If you miss
a room and this is where the
fire is, what’s happened?
You’ve got fire behind you,
tule #1 for firefighters to not
let happen.”
The crew did find and remove two casualties – “Metal
Man” and “Hose Head,” but
even just this half-hour long
exercise left them winded
and sweating. In full gear,
with charged hoses in tow –
imagine what all of this would
be like if the scene were real.
Paradis and Blackmore
were interested to see how
the crew responded to the exercise, but were also cautious.
Corporal Shawn
MacKenzie is
all in after an
afternoon exercise hauling hose
and searching
through the old
health clinic.
Where does fire travel? Firefighters do some exploratory
training in an abandoned office.
Master Warrant Officer Les Blackmore gives some tips
on extension checks, before firefighters tear into the
walls.
“The problem with doing an they read too much into it.”
In the end, though, as
exercise is everyone has a tendency to over think things,” Blackmore said, “it’s all about
Paradis said. “Sometimes making good people better.”

WK rink working
on fundraising goal
After a great start to its fundraising campaign, the Western
Kings Arena in Kingston is
closer to its goal.
The association has already
banked close to $35,000 towards the phase two portion of
required upgrades to the rink’s
concrete floor, coolant piping,
boards, glass and netting.
At the February fundraising
dinner hosted by the Western Kings Arena Association
and the Friends of the Villages, over $22,000 was raised
alone. The arena board plans
to have at least $60,000 of its
goal in the bank by May 31.
Upcoming fundraisers in-
clude the annual May golf
tournament and live auction,
a ticket auction, a large item
ticket lotto and a potential
mega 50/ 50. An on-going
effort to sell granite stones
for a fundraising wall at the
rink and a letter campaign
to businesses and the wider
community is also being successfully received.
The Valley Credit Union has
set up an account in support
of the cause.

of their participation.”
She advises visitors to bring

14 Wing Library | Serving those who read!
Judy McCool
& Joanne Sealby,
14 Wing Library
April 21 to the 27 is National Volunteer Week in
Canada, a time when we can
show our appreciation for
the many volunteers active
in our community. We would
like to extend our thanks and
appreciation to those ladies
who tirelessly volunteer their
time to help in our library.
The next time you are in, you
may see Beth, Ally, Jessie,
Kay or Liz working quietly
behind the scenes to keep
our many books shelved
and organized. Miss Somer
works her magic with the
children during “Under The
Story Tree” every Tuesday.
Each volunteer accomplishes
many other tasks every week,
and we want to take this opportunity to say a huge thank
you for all they do.
We will be selling the books
in our book sale room for $5
a bag through April. There is
a huge selection of hardcover
fiction books, as well as nonfiction and many videos as
well. This is your opportunity
to get some bargain books as
well as support your library.
All funds will go towards the
purchase of new books.
We have several new titles
we’d like to highlight for April.
If you are a fan of Michael
Palmer, we have his newest title, “Political Suicide.”
In this novel, Palmer once
again proves he is the king of
suspense in this page-turning
thriller set at the crossroads
of politics, the military and
medical science. Also, we
have Lisa Gardner’s “Touch &
Go,” which exposes the raw
nerves of a family imploding,
and an investigator trying to
escape her past…. Gardner
does an amazing job of cre-
ating realistic situations and
characters with emotional
resonance. The constant
surprises will shock even the
most jaded thriller reader.
Jayne Ann Krentz has a new
novel in the Dark Legacy
Series, “Dream Eyes.” With
walk-off-the-page characters,
crackling sexual tension,
swift pacing and the author’s
trademark sassy humor, this
wonderfully inventive, highstakes adventure will whet
fans’ appetites for more.
As you may know, April 22
is Earth Day. In recognition
of the efforts to “reduce and
re-use,” why not consider
donating some of your gently
used books to the library?
We accept donations and will
re-use by giving others the
opportunity to read that great
book you so enjoyed.
Reading opens doors, so
come and open the doors to
14 Wing Library!

de Michael Palmer, nous
avons reçu le plus récent, Political Suicide. Palmer prouve
à nouveau sa maîtrise du
suspense dans ce roman
d’action palpitant sis au carrefour de la politique, de la
stratégie militaire et de la
science médicale. Nous vous
suggérons aussi le roman
Touch & Go, de Lisa Gardner,
qui met en scène les souffrances liées à l’implosion
d’une famille, et une enquêteuse qui essaie d’oublier son
passé. Gardner a cette faculté
extraordinaire de créer des
situations réalistes et des
personnages émouvants. Les
retournements continuels
garderont en haleine même
les lecteurs de thrillers les
plus avertis. Aussi, Jayne Ann
Krentz vient de publier le roman Dream Eyes, un nouveau
volet de sa série Dark Legacy.
Avec ses personnages saisissants de vérité, sa tension
sexuelle, son rythme haletant
et l’humour insolent qui la
distingue, Krentz entraîne le
lecteur dans des péripéties
brillamment imaginées aux
enjeux imprévisibles. On en
redemande!
Comme vous le savez
peut-être, le 22 avril a été
désigné Journée de la Terre.
Pour appuyer nos efforts de
réduction et de réutilisation,
pourquoi ne pas envisager
de faire don à la bibliothèque
de vos livres encore en bon
état? Nous acceptons tous
les dons et les réutiliserons,
donnant ainsi à d’autres la
chance de lire ces livres que
vous avez pris plaisir à lire.
La lecture ouvre des portes
: il vous suffit d’ouvrir les
portes de la bibliothèque de
la 14e Escadre!

Evening out for mental health
The Kings County Chapter
of the Nova Scotia Schizophrenia Society is hosting a
fundraising and awareness
event at the Kentville fire hall
April 12.
A talented drama therapist
named Laura Burke from
Halifax will present her onewoman play, Heartwood,
an autobiographical play il-
lustrating a young woman’s
struggles with mental illness.
It explores how she begins to
heal from its impact through
the discovery that giving
back to others is exactly how
she will recover, and reinstate meaning in her life. She
comes to realize the arts are
not only the way she can
survive her own suffering,
but how she can begin to
break down the walls between
herself and her community.
The play is conversational,
dramatic and filled with a
quirky humour, inviting the
audience to experience one
person’s path towards recovery and beyond.
The evening will also fea-
ture the music of Rachel
Maclean, a silent and ticket
auction and refreshments.
Tickets are $10 each, available in advance at the Evan-
geline Club in New Minas.
The doors open at 6:30 p.m.
(along with the ticket and
silent auctions), and the performance begins at 7 p.m.

Peck, Shirley Reginal “Shirl”
Greenwood, NS
PECK, Shirley Reginal “Shirl”, died peacefully at Soldiers
Memorial Hospital, Middleton, NS on Monday 11 March 2013.
Born in Kentville, NS, 21 Mar 1930, Shirl was the son of the
late Robert William Peck and Jennie Evelyn (Whynott) of
Kentville, NS. Shirl went to school at Kings County Academy
in Kentville then joined the Royal Canadian Airforce (RCAF)
in 1948. He trained as a Clerk Admin in Trenton, ON and
served at Air Defence Command, St Hubert where he met
Huguette. He was posted to Allied Air Force Central Europe
headquarters in Fontainebleau, France. He was selected for
pilot training and qualified as a Flying Officer. Following
advanced flying training in 1954 he served as a fighter pilot on
the F-86 Sabre at 4 Wing, Baden-Baden Germany. In 1955 he
returned to Montreal to marry Huguette. They honeymooned
in Europe for the next three years. Shirl was posted to RCAF
Station Trenton, ON in 1958 to train on T-33 aircraft and
subsequently transferred as a flying instructor to RCAF Station
Portage La Prairie, MB from 1958-1961. Shirl was honoured
with two postings as Executive Assistant to the Air Officer
Commanding RCAF Training Command in Winnipeg from
1961-1964. He returned to flying instruction on Tutor jets in
Moose Jaw, SK, 1964-1968 and was an original member of
the Great Canadian Stunt Team. He carried out administrative
duties at NDHQ Headquarters in Ottawa as a staff officer 19681971. He was posted to Greenwood, NS in 1971 and flew the
Argus Maritime Patrol aircraft until his retirement in 1977, in
the rank of major. He joined the Air Reserve and for the next
eight years he organized and was Flight Commander of the Air
Reserve Augmentation Flight at Greenwood. He was a member
of the Sabre Pilots Association of the Air Division Squadrons
(SPAADS) and the Royal Canadian Air Force Association. As a
member of the Greenwood Wing of VP International he was the
Associate Editor of Maritime Patrol Aviation magazine and set
up the distribution and membership database for 17 countries
worldwide. Shirl liked to hunt and fish, played most sports
and enjoyed the outdoors. He played baseball, golf, tennis and
bowled. He loved hockey and played all his life, well into his
sixties. He played with the Greenwood Old Timers and was an
original member of the Apple Pickers. While at Greenwood he
became involved in figure skating and was a gold level judge
for Skate Canada. He was Nova Scotia team manager for
Canada Winter Games teams and received volunteer awards
from Sport Nova Scotia and Skate Canada. Shirl is survived
by his beloved wife Huguette, children Robert (Sue Redford)
Merrickville, Diane (Keith Brine)Winnipeg, Jo-Anne (Walter
Peckham)Trenton, James (Jill Markam) North Bay and
Caroline (Denis Vermeirre) Ottawa. He was very proud of his
nine grandchildren; Christina, Andrew and Patrick (Brine),
Jarrod and Courtney (Peckham), Hailey (Peck), Zoe, Paul and
Sophie (Vermeirre). He was predeceased by his sister Evelyn,
brothers Newton, Garnet, Arthur, Murray, Ernest, James, and
Donald. A Memorial Service will be held at Queen of Heaven
Chapel, Greenwood, NS on Saturday 16, March 2013 at 11am,

March 24 - March 30
solution page 18
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20
Aries, a mountain of responsibility
has put pressure on you. Although
you cannot shy away from what has
to be done, you can put a smile on
your face when tackling your tasks.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21
Taurus, something special will take
place in the next few days and you
will be on hand to experience all of
it. Magical moments are to be made
with a romantic partner.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21
Gemini, you may want to think
before you speak when a friend asks
for advice. The truth might hurt, so
it could be wise to keep quiet for the
time being.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
Cancer, a stroke of inspiration leads
you on a creative journey. Things
will calm down toward the end of
the week when you have to focus
on more tangible things.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23
Leo, someone you know wants
to step things up to another level,
but you may not be ready to take
that kind of plunge. Talk over your
feelings in a kind way.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
Virgo, family has been on your mind
lately, and you may feel it’s best to
spend the majority of your free time
at home rather than out. Make good
use of your time.
Fun By The Numbers
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid,
broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers
1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can
appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out
the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric
clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name,
the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
sudoku brought to you compliments of
p.m. to 9 p.m. (location & activity
will be announced). All are welcome to attend. For information,

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23
Libra, a chance encounter has
you rethinking what you want to
accomplish in the next few weeks.
You are second-guessing all of your
plans because of this surprise.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22
A decision you made could have
long-term effects, Scorpio. You’ll
probably find that you have to do
some damage control this week to
get things back on track.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21
Sagittarius, all indications point to
a monumental change in your life.
Wait to see what occurs and put
big decisions or vacations on hold.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20
Capricorn, it can be tempting to
toss away your responsibilities and
simply have fun. But then you will
be so backed up it could take quite
a while to dig out from under your
to-do list.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18
Aquarius, just when you need a bit
of sunshine, a satisfying piece of
good news arrives. Your spouse or
partner plays a significant role in
this positive development.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20
Pisces, a tangled web is forming
around you, but with quick wit
you will manage to steer clear of
the melee.
