A DR PEPPER SNAPPLE GROUP COMPANY CANADA DRY MOTT'S MOON ALERT Up until 1: 30 p. m. we have the all clear to do business. After that, avoid shopping and major decisions. The moon is in Pisces. ARIES ( March 21- April 19) Something might happen to change your point of view, prejudices or your attitude about something. You might do a 180 on something. As the I Ching puts it: by changing your goals, a retreat can become an advance. ( Something to think about.) TAURUS ( April 20- May 20) You might encounter someone who is powerful enough to make you reconsider your goals or tweak them or even change them. This person will be convincing. Alternatively, you might be a persuasive individual when talking to others. Check the moon alert before making important decisions. GEMINI ( May 21- June 20) Something might cause you to project a different image to people in authority. You look different or sound different or appear different to others. No worries because it appears this difference is for the better. ( Lookin' good.) CANCER ( June 21- July 22) Discussions with others might shift your POV about politics, religion or some kind of belief system. Possibly, you'll meet a guru- like figure or a teacher. Whatever happens will be thought- provoking for you. ( A deeper understanding of something could be an eye- opener.) LEO ( July 23- Aug. 22) Stay in touch with bank accounts, overdue bills and invoices, inheritances and stuff like that. You might be able to do an overhaul or clean up some details. A little research on your part could reveal helpful information. Before you take action, check with the moon alert. VIRGO ( Aug. 23- Sept. 22) Conversations with those who are closest to you will be revealing. These discussions will be intense and perhaps a search for the truth. You might discover your true feelings for someone. Today is also an opportunity to repair a relationship that has been in jeopardy. LIBRA ( Sept. 23- Oct. 22) This is a good day to repair, clean up and reorganize things at work and at home. You won't mind dealing with dark areas, garbage, recycling and anything to do with plumbing and bathrooms because you just want to get to the bottom of things and improve everything. SCORPIO ( Oct. 23- Nov. 21) You might have a deeper concern for children. Your opinions about kids are strong right now. Similarly, your relations with romantic partners will be intense and also there will be a strong desire for both parties to get to the bottom of things. (" Where were you last night?") SAGITTARIUS ( Nov. 22- Dec. 21) Use your energy to clean up " dark" areas at home - garbage under the sink, recycling, laundry and plumbing areas or bathrooms. Wear gloves if necessary. When all this is finished, you'll be proud of what you achieved. (" Why did I let this get so bad?") CAPRICORN ( Dec. 22- Jan. 19) This is a strong day for those of you who sell, market, teach, write or communicate for a living because you'll find it easy to be persuasive and convincing. However, stay in touch with the moon alert because these intense discussions could trigger a major decision. AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20- Feb. 18) You might see new ways to make money or ways to earn a little on the side. You might also see new uses or applications for something you own. Why? Because you're in a resourceful frame of mind and ready to take action. ( Check the moon alert.) PISCES ( Feb. 19- March 20) Take a realistic look in the mirror and ask yourself what you can do to project a better image in your world. Different hair style? Change of wardrobe? Maybe you need to exercise and strengthen your core muscles? When you improve whatever is within, it shows without. Today's Birthday Philosopher Eric Hoffer ( 1902- 1983) shares your birthday. You are a seeker. You hunger for adventure and the stimulation of exotic, faraway places. You have a great imagination and you are an idealist. Many of you live for your dreams. Personally, you are honourable, trustworthy and noble. ( And you will defend your honour!) This year, your primary focus is on relationships and partnerships and close friendships.

C. - The use of chicken manure in an effort to deter a homeless encampment is now causing a stink of another kind for officials in Abbotsford, B. C. Several homeless people plan to launch lawsuits with the help of a social advocacy lawyer, claiming compensation after their property was lost or damaged when the excrement was spread over their campsite and in another incident where city police officers are accused of damaging tents and pepper- spraying belongings. " We've tried to sit around and talk and we've tried to ask and nothing's happening and we're sick and tired of waiting and obviously, they need a kick in the ( butt) to get moving and that's what we're doing," Doug Smith, who plans to file a small claims lawsuit for the destruction of his tent, said in an interview Wednesday. He and others also plan to file a human rights complaint for their treatment. Last month, the Fraser Valley city's manager took responsibility and the mayor apologized after city workers spread chicken manure over an area near the Salvation Army office where a tent encampment had sprung up. Residents had been complaining about the behaviour of homeless people in the area, with one woman saying she had become a prisoner in her own home because homeless people were sleeping on her lawn and using her yard as a latrine. In a separate incident, also last month, Abbotsford's police chief asked the province's police watchdog to investigate allegations officers pepper- sprayed homeless residents and damaged their tents. Smith was not in the area where the chicken manure was dumped, but he said he is among those who had their tents damaged or destroyed by police. " If you were at home and the cops came to your place and knocked on the door and you didn't answer, there's no way in hell that they would kick your door open and come in saying ' We had to do that just to see if you're in there.' But they can cut my tent open and do that kind of stuff to me, why, because I don't have a house? It's still my home." Chief Const. Bob Rich has asked the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner to investigate. The department said it does not authorize or approve of its officers damaging personal property. Smith said he once worked as a drywaller making $ 40 per hour and supervised other employees. But a nerve disease disabled him, leaving him unable to work even as a cook, which he always thought he could fall back on if he had to. He said he's been without a home for two years and hasn't been spurred into social activism until now. " What, did you forget that we're people? These guys, it's their worst time of their lives. They're down to their lowest and you're going to kick them and you're not going to give them a hand? We don't want a handout. A hand up would be great." Lawyer D. J. Larkin, with the Pivot Legal Society, is filing the small claims lawsuits on behalf of the residents who say they lost property in the two incidents. She will also take on the human rights complaint. Larkin said other B. C. cities have used the manure tactic in the past to encourage homeless campers to move on, notably Surrey in 2009 and Port Coquitlam shortly after the Abbotsford incident. " We'll try to get damages for, basically, the city behaving badly," she said. Larkin says cities need to be forced to deal with homeless issues differently: " Take people where they're at and help them improve their lives in whatever way they need right now. Just simply saying right now, ' I don't like it, I'd like people to move along,' doesn't solve the problem. It doesn't make it go away." A spokesperson for the City of Abbotsford could not be reached for comment. - The Canadian Press Homeless plan suits after city lobs manure Chicken feces used by B.
