WEST NEWBURY – Who would have thought there was so much history to learn from a potato? Or art from a carrot? Or even math, science and language from tending tomatoes and peppers?

The students and teachers at the Dr. John C. Page Elementary School know that there is much more to a

NEWBURYPORT – These are tough times for independent book stores. The competition from e-books, the giant on-line retrailer Amazon and warehouse and retail chain stores, like Costco and Wal-Mart, that sell books as lost leaders have driven many bookstores out of business.

From 14,000 bookstores in the country just a few years ago, 1,800 survive.

And two of them, Jabberwocky in the Tannery and Book Rack on State Street, are here in Newburyport.

One reason for the survival against the odds for these bookstores is that Newburyport is a well-read

community. It also has a host of well-known authors as residents, showcased each spring at the Newburyport Literary Festival.

“That contributes to the stores survival,” said Paul Abruzzi, who is celebrating his 20th year as manager of Jabberwocky.

Jabberwocky, owned by Sue Little, has been serving her North Shore readers for 42 years. She has built a loyal following not only among readers, like a Maine couple who drive 90 minutes to buy books from her, but also the people, like Abruzzi, who work with her at the store.

and lead parent volunteer Ted Stedman, has been planting vegetables in raised beds in front of the building since a parent started the garden in 2011. Initially funded in part by the Massachusetts Department of Agriculture, the garden has expanded year after year, adding beds and different types of vegetables and herbs.

On May 17 and 18, the students and teachers, with the Grange volunteers, planted the gardens again this year. But not just any vegetables. The students have been studying Colonial gardens, the way the pilgrims planted their food. So this year the students turned the beds into a Colonial garden, planting what our forefathers called the three sisters – corn, squash and beans. They also planted pumpkins and radishes and a variety of other

vegetables. Thanks to a $2,254 grant from the

Massachusetts Grange, the students are adding to the school's nine raised

The Town Common encourages all citizens to submit letters concerning issues of interest and concern to the local community.

Letters selected for publication may be edited for length and clarity. Some letters may serve as a catalyst for other articles or coverage, and community leaders and agencies will be offered an opportunity to respond to letters concerning their areas of responsibility.

All letters must be signed and include a daytime telephone number.

Letters may be submitted to:

The Town Common deadline is

5pm Wednesday (except when a federal holiday necessitates an earlier deadline).

native of Italy who immigrated to the U.S. with his family when he was 18 months old, was managing a chain book store in Swampscott. He came for a 45-minute interview with Little, who was looking for two new staff members. He did not enjoy working for a corporate book store and had always admired the Jabberwocky atmosphere and book selection.

The interview lasted three hours. “I felt like I was talking to someone I had known all my life. It was a good fit,” he said.

Now the easy-going man, who loves books, hiking, biking and kayaking, can't imagine doing anything else.

It has not always been easy. Independent bookstore today must adapt to a rapidly changing environment, Abruzzi said.

E-books have cut deeply into the sales of such staples as romance and mystery novels, he said. So Jabberwocky pushes other genres of books, such as those on gardening, art, photography and cooking.

When he started selling books, cookbooks were limited to a handful of chef/authors, such as Julia Childs, Abruzzi said. But thanks to the popularity of TV networks like the Food Channel, there are now probably 60 chefs writing books. And people are buying them.

Amazon, which has hurt sales at all bookstores, has a goal to dominate not only the sales of books and every other product, but also book production. Few publishing houses, such the Hachette Book Group, are willing to challenge Amazon on its discount pricing strategy for fear the giant internet company

will stop selling its authors. Harry Potter author J.K Rowling, writing under the name Robert Galbraith, is currently caught in the battle between her publisher, Hachette, and Amazon. The outcome of that war could determine a new, future direction for book publishing.

Jabberwocky has also adapted by hiring and keeping a staff that “knows something about books,”

Abruzzi said. “Sue has a great eye for what will

sell,” he said. She also knows how to display books well.

It helps that Little is a fast reader, finishing a book a day.

Abruzzi concedes that he is not a fast reader, savoring six to eight books a month from a stack of books beside his bed that is so tall he could retire tomorrow and not finish all that he owns.

While the Book Rack has adapted by shrinking its space and partnering with Atomic Cafe, Jabberwocky continues to grow. It has added staff, employing two full-time people and another six to eight part-timers.

After years on State Street in downtown Newburyport, Little moved Jabberwocky to be among the first tenants at The Tannery, the old mill building on Water Street. The move gave her more room for books and better parking for her customers.

She soon took over space leased by a chiropractor. Today, Eureka Toys, a specialty toy store, owned by Little's sister, is her neighbor.

Asked if he thought he would work at Jabberwocky another 20 years, Abruzzi said, “I don't feel old enough to have been doing anything for 20 years.” But for the future, he said, anything is possible.

Bartlett Museum Appreciation Continued from page 1

NEWBURYPORT - The City of Newburyport has partnered with the Great American Rain Barrel Company in Hyde Park, MA to offer recycled barrels to residents as part of a community wide water conservation program.

“We are happy to be offering this simple and inexpensive device to our residents to bring down their water costs and help our community protect their aquifers,” says Tony Furnari, Director of The Department of Public Services for Newburyport.

Water shortage is a growing concern. In New England residential water usage can increase as much as 60% during the spring, summer and fall seasons from outdoor watering needs such as watering gardens, lawns, filling pools and, washing cars. Barrels can offset that usage; saving homeowner’s money and

helping the community manage water supplies. Rain barrels can also reduce runoff. In watershed areas, runoff from homes and developments can harm existing water sources because overtaxed storm sewers discharge polluted runoff. Over time this takes a toll on the fragile aquatic ecosystem that the area is dependent on.

Suzanne Gebelein, Owner of the Great American Rain Barrel Company comments, “We have been selling barrels for 20 years and we are seeing a very positive trend. More and more communities nationwide, like Newburyport, are bringing large scale programs to their towns, encouraging more residents to conserve water but also helping their town mitigate pollution in the water supplies on a larger scale.”

Letting Vegetables Teach garden beds with seven more. The money also helps buy a shed, more tools like wheelbarrows for planting, tending and harvesting, picnic tables for the students to eat on, but also to use to write journal entries about the plants. And the plan is to add more chain link fencing around the beds, said Grange member Russell Carr.

The school, part of the Pentucket School District, will celebrate the effort Tuesday with a Garden Party.

The students and teachers bring in the harvest. The cafeteria workers cook the vegetables for the students to eat.

“It is a lot of fun,” Carr said.To teachers Kate Ward, Krystelle

Griskiewicz and Patty Doggett, the gardens have become more than just fun. They are an outdoor classroom where students learn inter-disciplinary subjects – everything from history to science.

Page, an innovation school, has adopted a curriculum with the acronym, STEAM, for science, technology, engineering, art and math. It incorporates the curriculum into tending the gardens in what educators call place space learning.

Ward, the art teacher, uses the gardens to bring to life paintings by Claude Monet and Georgia O'Keeffe. The students write books on the gardens and draw illustrations for the books from their observations about the vegetables they plant.

Griskiewicz, the third-grade teacher, incorporates design techniques into the gardening project, teaching language and science, as students learn about the propagation of plants and the development of plants.

Doggett, a math specialist, is

teaching the students to map the gardens. She also grows gourds in one of the beds and will teach the students how to make birdhouses out of them.

The kindergartners planted a pumpkin patch and will harvest the seeds in the fall for planting again next spring. Carr estimates that the kindergartners are now growing the fourth generation of pumpkin seeds. They also planted radishes this year.

The second graders planted butterfly bushes. And the third and fourth graders planted the Colonial gardens.

Parker Greason, a fourth grader, said she enjoys working in the garden because it allows her to “collaborate with my friends to plant vegetables. It is really fun.” She said she loves Tasting Tuesdays, when once a month the students get to sample the vegetables they have harvested. It is exciting to say, “Hey I made that carrot, I planted that potato,” she said.

She and her father have planted a vegetable garden together at their house. He teaches her about how to plant and care for carrots and squash, she said.

Fellow fourth grader, Hannah Turkel, said working in the gardens had taught her the three ingredients plants need – sunlight, water and good soil.

She said she has also learned the types of plants and what they do. Milkweed attracts butterflies, for example. She knows she can eat parsley, but prefers squash and carrots.

“I like being in the garden,” she said. “I like taking care of the plants. I like getting dirty.”

Rose Seeley, a third grader, said she has learned how to plant vegetables

and what herbs are used for.Samantha Lake, another third

grader, also enjoyed learning about herbs and how they can be made into medicines. She said she loves eating the tomatoes, strawberries and peppers they grow.

Miles Azenaro, also a third grader, who loves potatoes, said he was pleased that the goal of the gardens was not to make money, but to learn how they work. He likes doing research on what the plants do and appreciates volunteers like the members of the Grange, who take time to help the students.

“It made me proud how good our vegetables are,” he said.

Another third grader, Owen Tedeschi, said he loves planting and harvesting potatoes. “I love feeling around in the dirt for them.,” he said.

But he was most impressed that they could grow mint in the garden, which can be used to make cookies.

In addition to the Grange and volunteers like Stedman, the school garden project has attracted a lot of community support. The West Newbury Public Works Department provided mulch. State Rep. Lenny Marra brought over wood shavings for weed control. Knapp's Greenhouses have helped the school buy seeds at cost. Pentucket High School students are building the tables. And the project received a donation of 25 cameras, donated New England Biolab so the students and teachers could photograph the plants.

Ward said she hopes the gardens can expand in the future to grow more vegetables which could be donated to the Pettingill House or sold at the Grange's farmers' markets.

the barrels to their downspouts and significantly offset their watering needs. In this region there is typically 16” of rain from May 1st – September 30th. For every inch of rainfall a 1000 square foot surface can collect 620 gallons of water, which means that over the course of the extended summer months an average roof of 2400 square feet could see more than 20,000 gallons of fresh rainwater passing over its surface from May through September. That is a pretty significant source of water that homeowners could be tapping into for free. Just keeping a small 10’ x 10’ garden irrigated during the summer months can mean using up to 1700 gallons of water. Based on the average roof size, more than two 60 gallon rain barrels would fill for every 1/10” of rainfall. The Great American Rain Barrel Company recommends one barrel for every

100 square feet garden. Newburyport is offering the

Great American Rain Barrel in three colors; Forest Green, Earth Brown or Nantucket Gray at the low cost of $69 versus the retail price of $119.

my hero. He still is, but when I was younger I thought that he walked on water. At least twice a month without fail, my father would be bedridden with debilitating migraine headaches that lasted 2-3 days at a time. That made a huge impact on me, and I still remember how helpless I felt watching my superhero dad lying in bed with the lights off for days. It was obvious how much pain he was in, and there was nothing I could do to help him. As a result of that experience, I have taken a great deal of extra training on the subject of headaches, and really resonate with those who suffer from them. Next Thursday, June 5th at David's Tavern in Newburyport at 6:30PM, I will be giving a complimentary workshop on Understanding Headaches - how they are caused, as well as what you can do about them.

AMESBURY - As we know fresh fruits and vegetables are the healthiest foods for us, they also can be pricey when you are on fixed income. The Amesbury Council on Aging is embarking on cultivating a new program. Simply a Farmers Table. Starting June 2nd, a table will be located in the lobby of the COA at 68 Elm Street, Amesbury. We ask people who are growing fresh fruits and veggies and have an abundance to drop them off to the farmers table. The table will be open to all who come to the center to take home your well-loved fruits and veggies. When an abundance of produce is brought in these fresh items will be served with the daily meals served at the COA. We hope you can bring in your extra fresh produce for our seniors to enjoy. We hope your crop is bountiful so our seniors can enjoy the fruits of your labor. For more information regarding this new initiative please contact Annmary Connor, LICSW, Amesbury COA Director at 978-388-8138.

SALISBURY - Merrimack River Feline Rescue Society along with funding provided by PetSmart Charities, the largest funder of animal welfare efforts in North America, is introducing the “Precious, Not Parents” campaign. Through the “Precious, Not Parents,” campaign, Merrimack River Feline Rescue Society will provide $20 spay and neuter surgeries for kittens less than six months of age during the month of June.

Some pet parents may worry that their pet is too young for this procedure, but spaying and neutering is safe and easy for kittens as young

as eight to 10 weeks old, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association. In fact, Merrimack River Feline Rescue Society has performed more than 30,000 pediatric spay/neuter surgeries since 2008.

“Many owners put off the procedure and wait until the puppy or kitten is six to eight months old,” says Bill Piercey, Executive Director. “But by then, a litter of kittens can be born.”

This special $20 rate is even less than the organization’s normal low-cost priced and is available to all residents of Massachusetts. Pet parents who wish to take advantage of this offer

must mention the “Precious, Not Parents” campaign when they call to schedule their appointment. The campaign is based on availability.

Merrimack River Feline Rescue Society will provide 150 “Precious, Not Parents,” sterilizations for $20 in June. Please visit www.mrfrs.org or call 978-465-1940 for more information or to schedule an appointment.

PetSmart Charities’ “Precious, Not Parents” campaign provides more than $593,000 to spay/neuter clinics to fund affordable, high-quality spay and neuter surgeries for more than 12,000 puppies and kittens across the nation during the month of June.

On May 8th EOEA Secretary Anne Hartstein Visited the Amesbury Housing Authority, Amesbury COA and Elder Services of the Merrimac Valley to talk about the community first initiative.

As families start heading to local pools, lakes and beaches for warm weather fun, the staggering statistics around drowning risks take on renewed importance. Drowning is the second leading cause of unintentional injury death for infants and young kids between the ages of one and 14 in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It's also the fifth leading cause for Americans of all ages.

Alicia Kockler, a swim safety expert and director of swim programming at Life Time - The Healthy Way of Life Company, provides the following tips to ensure fun, safe swimming experiences this summer and beyond.

Invest in swim lessons. The safety of your kids - and yourself - is vital. Investing in swim lessons is the best way to ensure confidence and skill in the water. Starting kids young often leads to more success in the water but most programs, including Life Time Swim, offer lessons through adulthood for all swimming

abilities.Maintain visual contact.

A lifeguard is no substitute for maintaining visual contact and close proximity to your kids at all times. Never turn your back on a child when he or she is in the water, not even for a moment. Don't mistake water wings, flotation devices, life jackets or lifeguards for absolute safety.

Follow a 25:10 rule. Life Time operates by a 25:10 rule

and suggests parents use it as a safety measure in all bodies of water. The 25:10 rule proposes that if a child cannot swim 25 meters continuously without assistance, an adult must be within 10 feet at all times.

Limit the non-swimmer to swimmer ratio to less than 3:1. Limiting the amount of non-swimmers to swimmers will directly impact your ability to better supervise each non-swimmer.

Get CPR certified. Take a class and learn how to perform CPR in case an emergency does occur.

Teach safety basics. Keep children safe by teaching water safety basics such as: always wear a Coast Guard-approved life jacket, no running by the pool, no going into the water without an adult nearby and reach for a pole or line that has been thrown out if you're struggling in the water. Strollers and car seats should be kept at least four feet from any body of water.

Take breaks at least every two hours. There's a reason public pools have safety breaks. Rest, rehydrate

and reapply sunscreen before returning to the water for more fun.

Designate a meeting spot. Use a brightly colored towel to designate a meeting spot and establish regular times to check-in. Kockler also suggests taking showers with soap before and after entering any body of water, always washing hands after restroom use and making sure children under the age of 3 always wear a snug fitting plastic pant over their swim diaper to prevent contamination.

(BPT) - Have you noticed your loved one having trouble seeing what they're doing at the stove? Are they having trouble recognizing which grandchild is asking for help tying his shoe?

For people over the age of 60, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible vision loss and legal blindness, which affects as many as 15 million Americans. The slow loss of vision often isn't immediately noticed, but

AMD is a condition that continually worsens over time, despite being treatable in early stages. Patients with the advanced form of the disease develop a blind spot, permanently blocking straight-ahead vision, which often results in reduced quality of life as the problem worsens.

Veteran and retired teacher Roy Kennedy, 77, of Moreno Valley, Calif. and his wife, Kay, frequently took road trips across the country in their 35-foot RV, visiting national parks and monuments, even as Kennedy's sight began to deteriorate 20 years ago.

Six years ago, he had to give up driving and travel was less pleasant because he couldn't see straight ahead. Kennedy had End-stage AMD and was told his sight would not improve, which was depressing and limiting. He wondered, "What would I want to see first, if I could regain some of that lost vision?"

Kennedy learned about a remarkable treatment option proven to restore sight and improve quality of life for patients with End-stage AMD, called CentraSight. The CentraSight program utilizes a tiny telescope, about the size of a pea, which magnifies images seen in one's "straight-ahead"

vision. The images are projected onto the healthy portion of the retina not affected by the disease, making it possible for patients to see the central vision object of interest. The FDA-approved device is implanted in one eye and surgery is performed on an out-patient basis. The cost for the telescope implant and related program visits are Medicare eligible in all 50 states. Kennedy underwent surgery because he was eager to see his wife, family and regain independence.

"I worked with a great team of specialists, all part of the CentraSight program," Kennedy says. "My doctors counseled me about what to expect from the procedure, particularly afterwards. There was a significant amount of rehabilitation required to adjust and become proficient at using my new vision. I also was warned that my sight would not be like it was in my youth. I wouldn't be able to do everything I used to, nor would I be able to see the minute I opened my eyes."

Kennedy says the surgery was a big success for him. "The most amazing part is seeing my wife's face again," he says. "I've regained the ability to do many everyday tasks, like reading, working on my computer and watching old Westerns on TV. My

wife and I are even back to traveling the open road in our RV - which I love (she drives, of course)."

"Patients tell me before the procedure about all the things or people they can't wait to see again," says Dr. Marc Levy, of The Sarasota Retina Institute, a Fellow of The American Academy of Ophthalmology, and American College of Surgeons.

"Recognizing the smiles on grandchildren's faces or

remembering an event depicted in a photograph are moments they are happiest about afterward."

Levy cautions, though, that this procedure is not for everyone, "The telescope implant is not a cure for End-stage AMD. As with any surgical intervention, potential risks and complications exist, including possible side effects such as decreased vision or vision impairing corneal swelling."

There are nearly 100 CentraSight treatment centers nationwide. To be considered a potential candidate, patients must:

Have irreversible, End-stage AMD resulting from either dry or wet AMDNo longer be a candidate for drug treatment for AMDHave not had cataract surgery in the eye in which the telescope will be implantedMeet age, vision and corneal health requirements

Patients should talk to their ophthalmologist to see if this procedure is right for them. Or, if you or your loved one has been diagnosed with AMD, visit www.CentraSight.com, or call 877-99-SIGHT (877-997-4448) to find out if you may be a candidate for the procedure.

No Free Lunches

hire a REALTOR® that you keep me in mind.

NEIGHBORHOOD ANALYSISThe REALTOR® that you hire

to find you a home should have an understanding of the neighborhood you are looking into. They should know what sections are more desirable than others. They should also have information on public and private schools in the area and what issues face the town in the near future. As a buyer’s agent this service is 100% free to the buyer.

SEARCHESMost REALTORS® who work with

a buyer to find them a home will do so at no charge to that buyer. The REALTOR® will be compensated by the listing agent on the home purchased. Finding a home and working with a buyer through the whole process, inspections, purchase and sale, financing issues, comes at absolutely no cost to that buyer. Free. It is even free if that “buyer” decides they don’t want to buy any longer. Frustrating to the REALTOR® but free nonetheless.

PICTURES, STAGING, TOURSWe just brought a stager to a

1st period home we are putting on the market to help with furniture placement. We included this as part of our service. Is it free? I would argue that it is even though the seller

Throughout my life I have heard the phrase “No Free Lunches” dozens of times. I understand the phrase to mean that although something may appear to be free of charge there are actually strings, commonly called contingencies in real estate jargon, attached. I am here to tell you that this saying is not true. There are free lunches in the form of services that a good REALTOR® will offer prospective buyers and sellers.

Good REALTORS® go above and beyond just helping someone buy and sell a home; they offer many different services prior to engaging in a contract with their clients. These extra efforts often include offering services beyond simply helping someone buy or sell a home. Here are some examples.

MARKET ANALYSISREALTORS® conduct a thorough

analysis of a property's value for a homeowner using recent comparable sales as a guide to determine worth. Not only will I do a free market analysis for the homeowner who is looking to sell, I have done dozens of free market analysis for homeowners looking to see if their homes are worth enough to refinance or to dispute an assessment or to determine a price so one party can buy out another party. I do this for anyone who calls me. For free. All I would hope for is that when it is time for a homeowner to sell and

will be paying us when the home sells, we don’t charge extra for a virtual tour or stager so yes, these services in my mind are free of charge. They are very free if a seller decides a few weeks after putting the home on the market that they no longer want to sell. Happens infrequently but it has happened.

REFERRALSREALTORS® who live and work in

the area they are buying and selling in have contact information to reputable movers, roofers, plumbers, etc. I can tell you for a fact I get calls regularly from past home buyers and sellers looking for recommendations for services. Some REALTORS® can even provide discounts that can be used at nearby stores or restaurants.

These services may not be needed by all; you may know all about a neighborhood for example or already know a designer/stager who can put together your home perfectly. However, it is nice to know that, like this article, many of these valuable services that your REALTOR® provides come to you at the cost of…free.

If you have any questions about this article, real estate in general or are looking to buy or sell a home please contact me, John McCarthy at Rowley Realty, 165 Main St., Rowley, MA 01969, Phone: 978 948-2758, Cell 978 835-2573 or via email at [email protected]

Alcohol Consumption and CancerBrighter Smiles...

By J. Peter St. Clair, DMD

pharynx, larynx, esophagus, and liver. And recent studies show that alcohol also increases the risk of cancers of the colon, rectum, and breast. While estimates have shown that alcohol accounts for about 4% of all cancer-related deaths worldwide, there is a lack of attention focusing on cancer-related deaths in the U.S., the researchers noted.

The study's estimate that 3.5% of all cancer deaths are alcohol-related was slightly higher than previous estimates of 3% for the U.S. and probably stems from including additional cancers, especially women's breast cancer, the researchers noted. "Nevertheless, our findings demonstrate there has been little, if any, progress in reducing alcohol-attributable cancer deaths in the United States," they wrote.

The findings confirm previous research that oral cavity and pharyngeal, laryngeal, and esophageal cancers account for the majority of alcohol-related cancer deaths among men, and breast cancer for the majority of such deaths among women. Reducing alcohol consumption is an important and underemphasized cancer prevention strategy that receives surprisingly little attention among public health, medical, cancer, advocacy, and other organizations in the U.S., they added.

They speculated that one reason there has not been more of an effort to lower alcohol use is due to the purported cardiovascular benefits of low-level alcohol consumption, such as news reports about the beneficial

effects of red wine.The study authors urge

medical and public health organizations and providers to make "clear and consistent" statements emphasizing that alcohol is a known human carcinogen, that there is no safe level of drinking, and that alcohol use should be lowered or avoided to reduce the risk of cancer.

On the lighter side, in an earlier study I found, most people have a highly effective natural repair mechanism for correcting the damage done to the DNA that causes the cancer. So, although most are unlikely to develop cancer from social drinking, if you are missing that gene that repairs the damage, you are at higher risk.

Alcohol consumption causes approximately 20,000 cancer deaths in the U.S. annually, especially oral cavity cancer in men and breast cancer in women, according to a new study in the American Journal of Public Health. It is the first comprehensive analysis of alcohol-attributable cancer deaths in the U.S. in more than 30 years, the study authors noted.

Notably, even moderate drinkers who consume 1.5 drinks daily or fewer accounted for 30% of alcohol-caused cancer deaths, according to researchers from the Boston University School of Medicine and the School of Public Health.

Cancers of the mouth, throat, and esophagus were common causes of alcohol-related cancer deaths among men, resulting in a total of about 6,000 annual deaths, they noted. Breast cancer was the most common cause of alcohol-caused cancer deaths in women, resulting in about 6,000 deaths annually, or about 15% of all breast cancer mortality.

In addition, alcohol was cited as a prominent cause in the premature loss of life, resulting in the loss of about 18 years among people who died of cancers attributed to alcohol, the study found.

Previous research consistently shows that alcohol increases the risk for cancers of the oral cavity and

on time leaves you free to enjoy your weekend without any Taurean guilt pangs. A romantic attitude from an unlikely source could take you by surprise.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Moving in a new career direction might be seen by some as risky. But if you have both the confidence to see it through and the facts to back you up, it could prove rewarding.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Holding back on a decision might be difficult, considering how long you've waited for this opportunity. But until you're able to resolve all doubts, it could be the wiser course to take.LEO (July 23 to August 22) You still need to move carefully where financial matters are concerned. Better for the Lion to move slowly than pounce on a "promising" prospect that doesn't keep its promises.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A rejection of an idea you believe in can be upsetting. But don't let it discourage you. Get yourself back on track and use what you've learned from the experience to try again.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) The early part of the week could find you

looking to balance your priorities between your family obligations and your career responsibilities. Pressures begin to ease by week's end.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) An associate's problem could cause unavoidable delays in moving ahead with your joint venture. If so, use the time to look into another project you had previously set aside.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Although a financial problem could be very close to being resolved in your favor, it's still a good idea to avoid unnecessary spending for at least a little while longer.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Support for some unwelcome workplace decisions begins to show up, and continues to build, so that by week's end, the gregarious Goat is as popular as ever.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Congratulations. Deciding to attend a social function you might have earlier tried to avoid could turn out to be one of the best decisions you've made in a long time.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Getting into a new situation could prove to be a more difficult experience than you expected. Don't hesitate to ask for advice in coping with some of the more irksome challenges.BORN THIS WEEK: Your strong sense of duty makes you a valued and trusted member of your community. Have you considered a career in law enforcement?
