The moon is at her most nurturing while in the sign of Cancer. Her concerns are primarily for her family and her home.
We can be more understanding and sympathetic towards others during this time and may have the urge to pay a little more attention to our loved ones. Be careful of becoming “needy” or dependant as this can be annoying to some.
It’s a great time to spend time puttering about the house, cooking and entertaining family….
Watch out for being overly sensitive or getting caught up in “imaginary” slights
Emotions can run high while the moon is here
Cancer is Ruled by the Moon

Smaller than you might think – the role of renewables in Ontario residential electricity bills
In Ontario, there’s been a lot of rhetoric about the role renewable energy plays in rising electricity costs. It’s true that electricity costs have gone up. But it’s not true that renewables are to blame for that increase.
We recently released Your Home Electricity Bill: A study on the costs in Ontario. The study contains data from Power Advisory, an independent energy consulting firm, that crunched the numbers and found out how much the average Ontario resident will pay for renewable energy on a monthly bill this year and in 10 years. The answer? Not as much as you might think.
This year, non-hydro renewable energy (wind, solar and bioenergy) will account for just 9 per cent of the average residential electricity bill in Ontario. That’s pretty small. By 2024, renewable energy will account for just 16 per cent of the average residential bill. The study also explains other factors behind the rising prices.
Renewable energy is the best option for our environment, and with the costs of it dropping fairly quickly, it’s appealing for our wallets too. For more on the study, click here.
Introducing Energy East — an export pipeline that’s our risk and their reward
TransCanada’s controversial Keystone XL pipeline project generates a lot of headlines. But did you know another risky TransCanada project – even larger than Keystone – is on the horizon and could put hundreds of communities across Canada at risk of an oil spill?
TransCanada’s Energy East is a pipeline plan to get tar sands oil from Alberta to the east coast. The plan would see an old natural gas pipeline converted to ship heavy oil from Alberta through to Ontario, and a huge new pipeline built across Quebec and New Brunswick. The oil would then be exported through massive new export tanker terminals in the St. Lawrence River, and the Bay of Fundy.
As a new report shows, Energy East is an export pipeline – not a made-in-Canada energy solution. Energy East would carry 1.1 million barrels of oil per day. Of that, between 750,000 to 1 million barrels would likely be exported unrefined via tankers.
SGC Admin: What a sad day it is when folk steal stuff from by gone days… Especially sad is that these items were on display at The Region of Durham Headquarters…. a place one would expect such items to be more then safe… :(
The items stolen were on loan to the location from Camp X thanks to Mr. Hodgson and Lynn Philip Hodgson. These dedicated people opted to display them at the Regional Headquarters, so the general public could view them for Free and perhaps learn a little something about the incredible men and women who played such an integral role during the 2nd world war right here in our backyard of Whitby/Oshawa, Ontario.

Camp X was a 2nd world War spy school for Canadian and American secret agents was in operation from 1941 to 1946 and then again up until 1969. Camp X was also used as a top-secret communications relay for sensitive information and was located near Lake Ontario on the border between Whitby and Oshawa.
If it wasn’t for the brave men and women of the 2nd world war who went above and beyond the call the duty we would not be enjoying the life we have today…. It wasn’t the leaders, the prime minister’s, Presidents, Kings or Queens, nor the military personal who issued orders from “on high” that fought our war, it was regular hard-working, family & freedom loving folk that fought and won. This cannot ever be forgotten or disrespected, and the knowledge of the sacrifices that have been made must be passed on to our children.
SGC Staff, ask that we all keep our eyes and ears open regarding the missing items and contact the police (Sergeant Bill Clader) as soon as possible to relay your information. If you are a collector and someone tries to sell you the items, please do the right thing…
Sometimes, the young do things they regret later, sometimes they do things without fully understanding the consequences of their actions or the upset their actions may produce… If this is the case, anonymously returning the items may be suggested.
What went missing: (Pictures are generic and do not present actual items stolen)

About 20 pieces of European Currency (paper money)… This was used by the agents, which was sown into their clothing to be used to buy themselves out of trouble when behind enemy lines.

An irreplaceable silk scarf.This particular scarf had a map of European countries printed on it, which would be worn by the agents under a shirt. When the agent was dropped into a foreign country they would use the scarf/map to guide them. The Scarf dates back to 1943.
