Fighting Cancer One Step At A TimeTerry Beecroft, this year's event

chair after volunteering for the last 11 Relays, said she expects this year's event to be even more exciting and attract more participants than in previous years.

“We are very excited,” she said.So far, according to the

event web site, relayforlife.org/AmesburyMA, 21 teams with 98 participants have signed up for the Relay. To date, the event has raised $15,185.87 with more than a month to go.

At the event there will be more opportunities to join in the fundraising. Th ere will be raffl es. And one of the most popular activities is the chance to have a friend or family member arrested and placed in temporary jail. Donate money to gain their release.

Th e fi rst Relay for Life was held in Tacoma, WA, in May 1985. Dr. Gordy Klatt walked and ran for 24 hours around a track, ultimately raising $27,000 to help the American Cancer

Society fi ght cancer. A year later, 340 supporters joined Klatt in the overnight event. Since those fi rst steps, the Relay For Life movement has grown into a worldwide fundraising activity, bringing in almost $5 billion to fi ght cancer.

During the event, there will be a Fight Back Ceremony which encourages participants to commit emotionally to fi ght against cancer.

“Th e action taken represents what we are willing to do for ourselves, for our loved ones, and for our community to fi ght cancer year-round and to commit to saving lives,” the web site states.

At the luuminaria ceremony, white bags are lit with a candle and personalized with a name, photo, message or drawing in memory or honor of a friend or loved one who has been aff ected by cancer. Luuminaria can also be dedicated in support of a Relay participant. Each luuminaria candle represents a person.

Mike Fawcett and his wife,

who moved to Amesbury a year ago, is volunteering for the fi rst time this year. He is particularly anticipating the luuminaria ceremony, where he and others will have a chance to speak to the crowd about their experiences fi ghting cancer.

“Each story is unique, but we all share similar experiences,” Fawcett said.

His story began when his father contracted cancer several years ago. His father joined a research program at Massachusetts General Hospital, testing a new chemotherapy drug. Th e drug helped him live another two years, dying three years ago.

“He didn't beat it. But they learned a lot,” Fawcett said.

From what the researchers learned, the drug was modifi ed and is now helping others live even longer than his father.

“I know every dime I raise will help fi ght this battle,” Fawcett said. “Th at is why we do it.”

To sign up, learn more about the event or contribute, visit relayforlife.org/AmesburyMA.

Helping Plum Island Attack Victimsand wineries will serve free food and drink to ticketholders. Th e Plum Island Grille will off er freshly shucked oysters on the half shell, bacon-wrapped grilled sea scallops and a Caprese summer salad made with heirloom tomatoes, fresh basil and buff alo mozzarella.

Th ere will be gourmet pizza selections from Otto’s Pizza and sweets from Chococoa. Tendercrop Farm will fi re up a traditional pig roast. Others contributing food include Bob Lobster, Brine, Beachcoma, Joppa Fine Foods, Loretta’s, Metzy’s Taqueria Food Truck, Mad Martha's, Michael’s Harborside, Patti’s Guacamole, Plum Island Coff ee Roasters and Ceia Kitchen + Bar. Th e Newburyport Brewing Co. and Riverwalk Brewing Co. will provide the suds for the Surf and Suds Bash.

Pre-ordered tickets are $100 for adults, $25 for those under 20 years old. At the event, the tickets are $150 for adults. Tickets can be purchased at the website, www.thekerryandsullyfund.com.

Francis Broadbery, an organizer and co-owner of the Plum Island Grille, praised the community for its support.

“Th e entire community is helping, from dog walking to cooking them food, running errands, minding kids, legal help,

and with the fundraiser. It is a community event, with everyone off ering their help, it really has blown my mind how quickly this community got organized and stepped up to the plate when needed,” he said.

Approximately $20,000 has been raised in donations and event ticket sales with hopes that the organizers can double that this week.

Both victims are recovering physically. One, who had both ankles crushed, is now out of her casts and walking in two hard boots, which allows her to move around her house better. Th e other victim is recovering from blows to her jaw.

Both women face an even tougher road recovering emotionally. Broadbery said they have good days and bad. One victim does not feel very safe in her home.

“Th at will be a long road to recover from,” he said.

One victim may be back at work within a few weeks. Th e other will be out for the summer, a time when both woman earn the majority of their annual income.

Police Chief Michael Reilly recently emailed Michael Paige, the attorney for the two women, saying no arrests have been made in the case. Reilly said no one has been arraigned or been issued a summons, according to Paige.

In the email, the chief promised “Arrests will be made,” the attorney said.

Reilly called the investigation complex, involving several agencies. Th e lack of legal action against those who allegedly assaulted the women was an “investigative strategy,” the chief wrote.

Paige said he is in “a holding pattern” in regard to fi ling a civil law suit on behalf of the two women, until the police act. He said he will likely fi le suit against the insurance company for the owner of the home at 7 Donna's Way.

Donations to assist the two women may be made online at the website, www.thekerryandsullyfund.com.

------------------------------------------------------------AMESBURY - Display Your Antique Car or Carriage! Do you have a classic car that you love, and want to show off ? Plan ahead to join the North Shore Old Car Club and Amesbury Mayor Key Gray for the First Annual “Cars and Carriages” car show, which will be held in downtown Amesbury on July 19th. Th e event will celebrate Amesbury’s history as a manufacturing center for carriages and early automobiles. “Not only were we the world’s largest manufacturer of carriages,” Gray said, “but as the world moved to automobiles, Amesbury played a prominent role in that transition.” Right now, event organizers are looking for cars to be exhibited. Any car more than 25 years old is eligible, but cars made in 1930 or earlier will be particularly welcomed. Already expected in the show: 1908 and 1913 electric cars and several horse-drawn carriages, all built in Amesbury. Th e show will also include tours of LeBaron Bonney, an Amesbury business that provides restoration kits, upholstery, parts and accessories for antique and custom cars. Th e building was originally part of the Biddle and Smart Company plant, where carriages were manufactured from 1870 through the early 1900's. As the automotive industry took off , the factory was converted to building auto bodies. Now, from that same building, LeBaron Bonney produces materials to restore antique cars – including cars that were originally built there. If you are interested in displaying your antique car at the show, please contact David Costello at 978-335-8739. A $10 donation to benefi t the Amesbury Carriage Museum will be requested. Th e show will be held Saturday, July 19th, rain or shine, on Chestnut Street in Amesbury. Free spectator admission and parking.

------------------------------------------------------------HAMPTON, NH - Th e 5th Annual Hampton Beach Comedy Festival kicks off with a superb lineup of standup comedians from Boston and New England on July 24-25 at Ashworth by the Sea, the landmark hotel on Ocean Boulevard. Highlights of this year’s event include the last local public performance of the year from Jimmy Dunn, who leaves for Los Angeles to shoot the CBS sitcom Th e McCarthys in August. Tickets are on sale now at the Ashworth by the Sea, on-line at Eventbrite.com/e/Hampton-beach-comedy-festival or at the door on show night if space allows. For more information, go to scampscomedy.com or hamptonbeachcomedy.com. Dunn, who lives in Hampton, founded the festival fi ve years ago as a way to break up the summer. “It was a fun way for me to invite guys up for a visit, and to get out and see folks that I usually see on the beach or around town,” said Dunn. “I was doing a lot of travelling then. Th is year, with the sitcom (which will air on Th ursday nights at 9:30 beginning Oct. 30), it’s a way to catch up with folks before I go to Hollywood.” Comedians from previous festivals have gone on to write or perform comedy on national network shows such as Th e Tonight Show, Th e Late Show with David Letterman, Th e Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson and Comedy Central. But career success was secondary to the ability to make audiences laugh. Th is year’s list of comics includes some old favorites and new favorites. Th e fi rst night lineup features Paul Gilligan, Dave Rattigan, Chris Pennie, Mac Livingston, Will Noonan, and Hampton's Josh Day. For the July 25 fi nale, Dunn will be joined by Lamont Price, Katie Grady, Jeff Koen, Abhishek Shah, and Jesse Bickford, another seacoast native who currently lives in Dover. “Jimmy just picks guys that he likes, and that he wants his friends and neighbors from Hampton to see,” said Rattigan, a comedian who has performed in three previous festivals. “Th e bonus used to be that if you were on the same night he was on, you could stop at his house before the gig and he’d cook you a steak. If you were on a night that he wasn’t on, you’d go to the beach and get a slice and some fried dough. “Unlike other festivals, the focus is really just on having fun and enjoying comedy,” Rattigan said. “Th ere are no contests, and no entry fee, no actors that aren’t ready for standup showcases or guys who are only in high-profi le spots because their agent placed them there. Th ese are funny guys who are picked to be here because they’re funny, and they’re here to enjoy the show. You see comics hanging out with the people before and afterwards, and it’s just very loose, and very fun.” “I’m really excited to be doing this,” said Bickford, a southern

------------------------------------------------------------NEWBURYPORT - The Cushing House Museum, headquarters of the Historical Society of Old Newbury at 98 High Street, has opened its doors for the 2014 season. Tours are offered Wednesdays through Sundays until the end of October. In celebration of the city’s 250th anniversary, admission will be free to all residents of Newbury, Newburyport, and West Newbury. Simply show a license or other proof of residency to enjoy your free guided tour. The Cushing House was the home of John Newmarch Cushing and three generations of the family who were involved in Newburyport’s maritime and mercantile activities. In addition, the period rooms illustrate the stories of all aspects of Newburyport’s history from its agrarian roots in the 1600s, its golden age of sail, and the vibrant industrial community producing silver, furniture, tortoise shell combs, and shoes. The rooms in the house are galleries, providing a backdrop or a stage set, for wonderful human interest stories and a treasure trove of local history, says Susan C.S. Edwards, Executive Director. Guests will hear about George Washington’s visit to our community; Timothy Dexter, one of Newburyport’s famous eccentrics; the Rev. John “Damnation” Murray, the patriot minister who stirred men to re-enlist for the cause of their country’s independence; and the crew of 12 men who perished when the Brig Pocahontas sunk off Plum Island in 1839. Come and learn about your local history. Relax in the shade of the restored garden, visit the early 19th century carriage barn, and marvel at the gracious lifestyle preserved within the Cushing House. All are welcome. Tours are offered weekdays from 10 am - 5 pm with a last tour at 4 pm and on weekends from noon - 5 pm with a last tour at 4 pm. Closed July 4th. The Historical Society of Old Newbury preserves and interprets the history of “Old Newbury” which includes Newbury, Newburyport, and West Newbury from pre-Columbian times to the present.

The Society furthers its purpose through lectures, exhibitions, educational programs, publications, and research.

Most people who get shingles will get better and will not get it again. You can't catch shingles from someone else who has shingles. But there is a small chance that a person with a shingles rash can spread the virus to another person who has NOT had chickenpox and who hasn't gotten the chickenpox vaccine. Anyone who has had chickenpox can get shingles. You have a greater chance of getting shingles if you are older than 50 or if you have a weak immune system.

During the heat of summer, no one wants to spend time in the kitchen when the stove or oven is in use. But if you hate to give up the dishes your family loves until the weather cools again - don't sweat it. From no-make recipes to alternative cooking tactics, you can fi nd plenty of ways to beat kitchen heat this summer.

"Families can still enjoy favorite foods and stay cool in the kitchen," says Chef Giuliano Hazan. "It's just a matter of fi nding the combination of recipes, ingredients and cooking processes that allow you to prepare delicious food without heating up your kitchen."

Hazan off ers some stay-cool kitchen ideas for great summer dining:* No one wants to heat up the oven - and the kitchen - by baking when summer arrives. Fortunately, "no-

bake" dishes allow families to savor their favorite treats without the heat and hassle. No-Bake recipes require little or no cooking to produce a range of tasty desserts. When preparing a no-bake dish that calls for eggs, it's important to be aware of salmonella risks. Using pasteurized eggs such as Safest Choice Eggs, can eliminate salmonella risks, making it easy to prepare perfect no-bake recipes.

* Grilling is a favorite summer pastime, loved for the fl avor it imparts, the convenience of cooking without heating the kitchen and the opportunity to enjoy being outdoors. It's not just a great way to prepare meat, poultry or fi sh; grilling can be a great way to enjoy favorite foods that normally require an oven.

* One of the appealing aspects of baking or roasting in an oven is the ability to trap fl avors within foods. You don't have to add heat to the kitchen, however, to add fl avor to foods. Marinades and seasonings are great for adding fl avor to cold foods such as raw fruits and veggies or even cheese.

* Turn to that winter-time favorite via your slow cooker. A slow cooker allows you to prepare a range of dishes, from pot roast to peach cobbler, without raising the temperature in the kitchen. Th e microwave can also be a good alternative to the stovetop.

* Perfect your salad prowess. Salads are healthy, no-cook options that can make great low-calorie meals for the whole family. Th e plentiful harvest of seasonal fruits and vegetables available during spring and summer makes this time of year perfect for experimenting with new types of salads.

* It's OK to cheat now and then with pre-cooked options, such as using premium canned tuna or a batch of hard boiled eggs kept in the refrigerator to add to salads. Because they're already cooked, these items can cut out preparation time (and temperatures) while serving as ingredients in your favorite recipes.

Try this great no-bake recipe from Safest Choice Eggs and recommended by Chef Hazan. Visit www.safeeggs.com for more recipe ideas.

Head-to-Toe Tips for Picking & PackingSummer Travel Togs

Vacation packing is an art-form, one every mother must master if she wants her family to be comfortable and well-dressed while traveling. Running out of clean clothes, having to do laundry, or wearing outfits that are hopelessly wrinkled or don't suit the destination are all avoidable travel fiascoes. All you have to do is pack smart.

What to pack - Sure, you may be tempted to pack that sassy skirt and heels you bought but never wore, but the reality is family travel cries out for reliable wardrobe staples, like denim and comfortable sneakers. Summer travel often involves fun in the sun - and sand - and lots of walking outdoors. Choose items that will help keep the whole family cool, such as cotton tops - sleeveless and short sleeves - and denim bottoms. Remember, light-weight knits for tops will not only keep everyone cool, they'll leave more room in your suitcase, too.

Signature by Levi Strauss & Co. has great options for your family. Their Bettina Bermuda Shorts and Naomi Capris are great for women and teen girls. Your little man can go all day and into the night in his Boot Cut jeans, while men will be comfortable and ready for anything in a pair of Vintage Cargo Shorts.

Denim is comfortable and durable, too, which means if the worst happens and you do have to use the hotel's laundry facilities, your Signature by Levi Strauss & Co. denim items will be able to stand up to some rough and tumble treatment.

Keep footwear practical and comfortable. Most family vacations involve a lot of walking, whether you're trekking from the hotel room to the beach, hiking through the woods or running around a theme park. Remember, foot health experts say that flip flops are fine for short stretches and beach trips, but not so great for lots of walking.

Finally, if you have a reasonable chance of a nice dinner at an upscale restaurant, by all means pack dressy, but pick something that you know is comfortable and looks great on you. Or, splurge a little and buy something new from one of the many shops you'll likely explore on your trip.

Maximize suitcase space - No one wants to spend too much time at the airport waiting for luggage to come off the carousel, or worse, pay for an extra bag. Minimize checked baggage as much as possible to save time and money. Often, driving gives you a little more luggage leeway, but it still pays to pack as smart and light as possible.

Once you've chosen everyone's wardrobe for the trip, start by placing extra shoes (no more than one set per family member) in the bottom of the suitcase. Place rolled items that don't wrinkle, or that don't matter if they do wrinkle - such as underwear and knits - atop shoes. Next, place folded items like skinny jeans and shorts. Always fold or roll clothes rather than just dump them in. Neatly arranged garments will take up less space and you'll be able to carry more.

If you'll be arriving at your destination later in the day or at night, be sure to place night clothes for everyone on the top of the suitcase. That way you can reach what you need without having to unpack the entire bag when you're tired.

Carry medications, eyewear and basic toiletries like deodorant and tooth brushes with you, never in a checked bag. Slip an extra set of underwear in carry-ons, too, so that if your luggage is lost, you still have essentials.

Every family member has two hands, so everyone can share in luggage carrying. Teens and older kids can handle larger carry-on's and even smaller children can be entrusted with the family's snack bag.

With the right wardrobe selections and some smart packing tactics, you'll be able to easily outfit everyone - head-to-toe - for family fun this summer vacation season.

The Greatest Anniversary Festivalall still “contributing” our ideas as we live in freedom under our precious Constitution. Some of our “ideas”, however, would have caused the Founding Fathers’ wigs to curl.

Centuries ago, there existed the “Debtors’ Prison” where those who could not pay their debts were sentenced. Not only was the debtor sent to jail, but he had to pay to be incarcerated. Imagine what our Founding Fathers would say about the “idea” that our lending institutions developed to create the tremendous debt under which so many still smother today.

During the housing and credit crisis of the past recent years, Americans did not end up in Debtors’ Prison. Th ey ended up in homes they could never aff ord and those lenders should now be in “Lenders’ Prison”.

Housing experts say that the health of the housing market is directly tied to three factors: aff ordability, interest rates and employment. Th ey note that there are “positive elements” in the 1st two factors, but that unemployment continues to be the fl y in the soup. Presently the inventory of available homes for sale is low and that supply and demand factor is causing home prices to increase albeit slowly. We will recover and we will learn from our mistakes.

Over two centuries ago on July 4th 1777, John Adams went out for a walk at night “for a little fresh air and exercise”. On the fi rst anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, he was stopped in his tracks. All around him he saw the “whole city lighting up their candles in the windows.” Although the new Americans lacked the technological means to communicate their universal joy, it nonetheless abounded through out every home on every street in all the states of the union.

We Americans will continue to light the candles that illuminate the purest way of life the world has ever known. It is precious. It is worth the struggle. It will always be a cause for immense celebration.

Broker/REALTOR® Janet Hilton is a former practicing attorney

It is a little known fact that the American colonies separated legally from Great Britain on July 2, 1776 and not on July 4th. It took two days for the Second Continental Congress to approve the Declaration of Independence during the American Revolution, hence our National Celebration “Th e 4th of July”.

In his letter dated July 3rd, 1776, John Adams, referring to the birth of our new nation, wrote to his wife Abigail “I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the greatest anniversary festival. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfi res, and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward and forever more”.

Our superb experiment Th e United States of America is like none other in the history of mankind. Above all else, we have kept our promise to each other and to the world that we will preserve, protect and defend the basic right to live free from tyranny of any kind anywhere.

When we celebrate the history of our country, we remind the whole world that the right to live in freedom when threatened is worth any war that has ever been fought however dreadful the reality of the fi ght. Th e beacon of hope for which our Country stands continues to draw the world to our borders. As long as our collective view of the world remains steadfastly rooted in the spirit of the United States Constitution, we will right any wrong and overcome any challenge to our way of life.

If the Founding Fathers were observing the debates taking place between and among our political parties, economists and industries today, I suspect they might fi nd that the more things change, the more things stay the same. We are

Institution for Savings Donates $150,000 to Newburyport Public Schools

NEWBURYPORT – The Institution for Savings has made a significant $150,000 donation to the Newburyport Public Schools through the Newburyport Education Foundation (NEF), announced NEF President Jay Iannini. In recognition of the gift, the Bank will receive naming rights to the gymnasium and performing arts center at the new Francis T. Bresnahan Elementary school and the media center at the renovated Rupert A. Nock Middle School/Molin Upper Elementary School.

“Our vision at the Institution for Savings is to have a positive impact on our communities,” said Institution for Savings President and CEO Michael J. Jones. “I can think of few better ways to do that then to enhance the educational opportunities and facilities for our children. We are extremely pleased to continue our long-time support of the NEF and the Newburyport Public Schools with this donation.”

The Institution for Savings’ gift is part of the NEF’s campaign to offer naming opportunities at the new Bresnahan School as a way to recognize donors for their support. The Bresnahan School has already been named by the city to honor former Superintendent Francis Bresnahan, but the School Committee has authorized the NEF, in concert with the Superintendent, to name rooms at the new school through the NEF “Make Your Mark” program. Over the last 10 years, naming tributes at the high school and middle schools have recognized businesses, alumni, and community members. The new school will open at the start of school this fall.

This latest donation is one of several significant bequeaths that the Institution for Savings has made to the Newburyport Public Schools in recent years. In 2005, it made a landmark $600,000 donation to the NEF to renovate the Nock Middle School science labs and fund an ongoing science speaker series. Two years ago, the Bank donated $100,000 for a new Media Center at Newburyport High School. And last year, the Bank pledged $500,000 to a new synthetic turf field at World War Memorial Stadium, in addition to an earlier $100,000 grant to restore the stadium’s home stands.

“The Institution for Savings is a founding member of the NEF and an unwavering supporter of public education, “said Iannini. “This donation is so significant--it helps us close out our current campaign to renovate the RAN auditorium, and gets us started on several new initiatives to be announced this fall. Plus, it means the middle school library will get the same kind of transformative funding as the high school and the new Bresnahan. What an extraordinary level of support our community enjoys from the IFS! We are very proud to recognize their generous gifts with namings in the schools. It’s suitable that their ongoing support of education will be an ongoing tribute. ”

Make Your Mark naming opportunities still available at the Bresnahan School include the patio, basketball court, playground areas, conference rooms, computer rooms, classrooms, offices, art rooms, literature closets, and more. Donations can be made by an organization, business, or individuals to name a room and honor a teacher, family member, or alumni class with a lasting tribute. A plaque outside the classroom, office or other area commemorates the tribute. Naming opportunities range from $2,500 to $100,000. To learn more about the NEF’s current campaigns and the Make Your Mark

donor recognition program, please email [email protected] or visit www.NewburyportEF.org.

Founded in 2004, the NEF is a nonprofit organization that functions as the development office for the Newburyport Public Schools and brings in philanthropy to and works with the school administration to strategically fund projects and needs outside the city school budget. Over the past 10 years, NEF donors have contributed more than $2.2 million to the Newburyport Public Schools.

What is Oral Health?Brighter Smiles...

BY J. PETER ST. CLAIR, DMD

not on the basis of transmission. However, there is still no solid defi nition of what oral health really is.

According to a recent column in the Journal of the American Dental Association, the American Dental Association is working on a proposed defi nition of oral health. Th e authors of the column state, “A proposed defi nition is necessary to achieve a common understanding of the scope of oral health, to help understand the array of complex oral and systemic health issues facing dental and medical professions now and in the future, and to provide a rationale to position oral health professionals as partners within primary health care.”

Th e authors go on to say that the defi nition of oral health needs to align with the current defi nition of dentistry. Th at defi nition currently states, “dentists are responsible not only for the evaluation, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases and conditions of the oral cavity, the maxillofacial area and adjacent areas but also for assessing their impact on the human body.”

As new tests and knowledge in the area of oral health increases, the days of simply recording missing and decayed teeth and poking patients with instruments to chart periodontal (gum) issues may not be enough to best serve patients. What we can learn from things such as genetic testing and salivary diagnostics will change the way we interact with our medical colleagues and greatly

benefi t our patients.In conclusion, the authors

state, “As the defi nition of oral health evolves and likely will continue to evolve well into the future, no matter how oral health is defi ned, the message remains: Oral health is essential to an individual’s general health and quality of life.”

Th ere are great things on the horizon that will signifi cantly impact the way your mouth is evaluated. Th ese will not only benefi t your teeth but will also mean an overall healthier you.

What is your defi nition of oral health? Is there even a standard defi nition of oral health? One thing is clear, the defi nition of oral health is not solely the absence of pain. Pain is also not necessarily an indication of poor oral health.

It wasn’t until the year 2000 that oral health was brought to the forefront of the surgeon general’s report as a critical component to overall health. Th is was an important event, but unfortunately never amounted to much in terms of being incorporated into most healthcare policies.

In 2005 at the World Congress of Preventive Dentistry, participants from 43 countries made it clear that oral health is an integral part of general health and overall well-being. Th ey even concluded that oral health is a basic human right.

In 2011, the United Nations recognized oral disease as an integral part of other non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, stroke, chronic respiratory diseases and cancer. Th is association with these other diseases was based on common social determinants such as socioeconomic status, diet, tobacco and alcohol use, and

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Don't be surprised if, in spite of your well-made plans, something goes awry. But don't worry. Your knowledge of the facts plus your Arian charm will help you work it out.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A personal relationship seems to be demanding more than

you feel you're able to give. Best advice: Confront the issue. You could fi nd the situation surprisingly easy to work through.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Resist being pressured into meeting your self-imposed deadline. Th is is important if you really feel that taking more time to fi nish a project could save time in the long run.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A vacation choice seems less interesting than when you fi rst made it. Could it be a matter of the place or the people going with you? Find out before you consider a change of plans.LEO (July 23 to August 22) Someone might be overriding your Leonine logic to get you to agree to "favors" you would normally avoid. Take a new look at what you've been asked to do and see if you've been misled.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Try to keep that emerging "judgmental" aspect in check this week. Too many critiques on relatively unimportant issues could create a lot of negative bounce-back reactions.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Facing unpleasant facts about an associate

isn't easy. But ignoring them isn't wise. Ask a trusted (and neutral) friend to help guide you on what to do and how you might do it.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A shift in opinion regarding a workplace situation could go a long way in vindicating the stand you've taken. But be aware that a satisfactory resolution could still be a long way off .SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) It's not like you to choose the easy way rather than the right way to do things. So, follow your instincts and feel assured they will lead you to the right decision. Good luck.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Hold off on making a personal commitment until you fi nd out what it really entails and whose interests are actually involved. Th ere could be hidden facts you need to know.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A new friend off ers an unexpected opportunity that could lead to a career change. Check it out carefully and consider getting an assessment from someone familiar with this fi eld.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A surprising discovery leads to mixed reactions from those involved in the "revelation." But as you come to appreciate the truth, you'll be able to also come to terms with your feelings.BORN THIS WEEK: Your love of travel helps you appreciate the wonders of the world. You would fi nd a satisfying career in any travel-related industry.
