May 28 -June 3
ARIES – March 21/April 20
A desire for change could be satisfied
by something as simple as rearrang-
ing the furniture. Try it before doing
anything more drastic — or expen-
sive. Using guilt to get what you
want from family could lead to
resentment. Trya different, more
honest approach.
TAURUS - April 21/May 2.1

been waiting for may come your
way. All you have to do is take it! A
problem you've been troubled with
will finally be resolved, taking a
great weight off your shoulders.
Celebrations and activities with
friends will be abundant.

down -in -the -dumps loved one.
LEO - July 23/August 23 •

find yourself in an awkward position.
Be honest with • yourself when it
comes to a romantic relationship.,..If
you're the one doing all the giving, it
may be time for a change.
VIRGO — Aug 24/Sept 22
Your sarcastic tongue could get you
in a'heap of trouble. Although it's
hard, it may be wise to keep your
opinions to yourself this week. This
is especially true in the workplace
where others may not understand
your sense of humor. Learn from the
mistakes of others.
LIBRA — Sept 23/Oct 23
Good news will come more than once
this week. You'll .feel Tess tense and
more enthusiastic than you have for

lighter than usual, leaving you more
time for yourself. Enjoy it while it

time to do something to change.
SAGITTARIUS — Nov 23/Dec 21

vide fresh ideas important to your

to point blame when• a problem aris-
es at work.
AQUARIUS — Jan 21/Feb 18
A project that has been dragging will
finally come together. You'll be able
to proceed with full force. At some
point this week you'll cothe tothe
realization that you don't understand
someone you've been close to and.
known for along time. Perhaps this
is what keeps life interesting.
PISCES — Feb 19/March 20
A good tin... for travel and meeting
new people. Friendships made now
will be of the lasting kind. This is
true for romance, too. In either case,

Universal questions:
..
What do youth today want, look for?
By BONNIE GROPP
Special to the Advance -Times
BRUSSELS - What do kids want?
What are they looking for?
These are universal questions
that have stayed the same for gen-
erations. However, there is little
doubt that the needs of today's
young people differ according to
where they live.
Close to 50 people from across
western Ontario gathered at The
Ark, in Brussels on May 10 to ed-
ucate and learn about the special
needs of rural youth.
Organized by The Ark's manag-
er Sallianne Patch and her assist-
ant Wendy Martin, the workshop
was attended by representatives
from youth councils and health
units as well as youth workers and
individuals interested in learning
more about establishing teen cen-
Set, fashion unveiled
for Blyth season opener
The official unveiling of the set
and costume designs for the first
productionby the Blyth Festival,
theatre company for the 1995 sea-
son, `Ballad of a Rum . Runner's
Daughter", on May 22' at a sneak
preview, revealed elaborate staging
and outstanding dress.
Set designer Stephan Droege
and costume designer Debra Han-
son combined to create .a presenta-
tion which is hoped will capture
the imagination of the theatre-
goers, bringing them from the
1930's through the 1980's, in the
story of one woman's life.
The sketches of the costume
created by Hanson for the pirate
princess is almost Elizabethan,
with a ruffled neckline and blouson
pants, yet brought down .to earth
(or seas) with greens and blues.
"Initially we thought we would
use bright.. colours for the princess,
Spring
fish out
at Cook's
It is once again time for. the
Spring Fish Out at Cook's Pond.
The third annual event, which
draws dozens of participants young
and old each year, donated 10 per
cent of all proceeds .to Big Broth-
ers.
On June 4, everyone is invited to
test their luck at the trout stocked
spring fed pond, located on Conc. 9
of East Wawanosh..Twp., just 3 1/2
miles west of Belgrave.
Trophies will be rewarded to the
junior and, senior angler with the
longest catch of the day and raffle
will be held for all.
All anglers are asked to contrib-
ute 25 cents per inch for the fish
caught.
Refreshments are free and .1.0 per
cent of the proceeds from the har-
beque will go to the cause as will a
Ioonie donation asked of all over
the age of five.'
Participants are asked to bring
their own bait as the supply for sale
at the pond is limited. No corn or
lures are allowed.
There are no licenses required or
entry fees for the derby or raffles.
Come celebrate spring with a
day of fishing at Cook's. The event
runs from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m.

but decided that the other colours
worked better," says Hanson.
Hanson says she has stayed
close to the dress of the period for
the other characters, considering
their position in life as well as the
times.
Numerous drawings depicted
each character in the changes they
would go through in the produc-
tion.
The impressive set design creat-
ed by Droege and his crew is very
ambitious, especially for a reper-
toire theatre which runs three or.
four plays at the same time.
Artistic Director Janet Amos
joked that the builders said they
wanted a challenge and they got
one.
The staging includes a large sec-
tion of the theatre floor, incorporat-
ing theatre doorways into the de--

tres in their communities.
"There is obviously a lot of in-
terest in youth work in rural coin-
munities and in centres like The
Ark," said publicity director Mar-
garet Jarvis. "The purpose .of this
workshop is to discuss how to
work with rural youth, where they
fit into society and how to help
them fit."
The focus was on the three key
feelings of teens coming of age in
rural settings — isolation, identity,
and access. •
Youths tend to feel isolated
from their peers and may develop
a dependence on relationships
with adults . rather than other
young people.
In rural communities, Patch
said, the, young people are often
labelled before they are born be-
cause of family history and the be-
haviour standards set by their par-
ents and other .siblings. They feel
scrutinized by the public and often
don't, have a place to gather away
from the rest of the world. Young
people develop a strong attach-
ment to their hometown, but at the
same time, have an equally strong
desire to move.
"Kids are under the impression
that they desperately .need to be
somewhere else," said Patch.
Regarding access, rural • youth
have few options for education,
career advice and career opportu-
nities. Another obvious access
problem is the availability of lei-
sure or cultural events.
Using the Madill high school
track and'team's\ success record as
an example, Patch said this comes
down to being "inventive with
what you have." -
The group looked at different
ways to respond to these needs,
such as involving youths in local
activities with each other and in-
terested adults. or by having older •
peers or adults drive them to out-
side
utside activities or events.
Several handouts outlinedsce-
narios for the participants to con-
sider. These included ways to get
young women back .into youth
groups that have become male -
oriented, stopping racist and nar-
row-minded views and what to do
to encourage teens to stay in youth
groups.
A highlight of the workshop
was a discussion format on the
young . people's perspective,, in-
volving several local teens, Shane
and Trevor Wilson, Josh Beuer-
mann, Kees Van Den Heuvel, Sa-
rah Seeds, Kendra Fischer, and
Lesley Streton.
Some of the comments were re-
garding how having a drop-in cen-
tre in their village had helped
them. Lesley said that the kids can
come to The Ark and not feel pres-.
sured to drink or do drugs, be-
cause they' know it's not allowed
there:
Many agreed that they enjoyed
the community involvement
through such Ark projects as Inter -
link, which teams .them with indi-
viduals who have permanent or
temporary disabilities, and helping
with the many special events host-
ed by The Ark.
The adults and kids then teamed
for a game of "Family Feud," with
questions such as 'Why do you
come to The Ark?' and 'What's
good about The Ark?' The youths
were unanimous in their answer to
the latter. They all agreed that The
Ark is an important part of the
community and they enjoy having.
