Town of Whitby: Request for public input on Whitby’s roads and sidewalks

SGC Admin: The town of Whitby is looking for your input on our Roads and Side-walks:

The Town of Whitby states The Town of Whitby owns approximately $2 billion of public assets” 

These public assets include our roads and side-walks.

“While the Town has various detailed Assets Management programs in place, the Town is currently reviewing and developing a more comprehensive Asset Management Plan to review how we manage major repairs to our roads and side-walks and to provide more certainty that we are getting the most value out of our asset investments” 

The town is looking for public input regarding the condition of our existing roads and side-walks. By completing a survey devised by the town, residents may “have their say”.

SGC Admin is going to check out the survey, hopefully there is a spot that asks “do you think roads and or side-walks should be worked on, even if they don’t appear to need any work?” That’s what happened in our residential area this spring/summer… hmmmm still can’t figure out why the work needed to be done… 

To participate in the survey please go to www.whitby.ca/AMSPsurvey.

Chakras 101 

Chakras are energy centers in your energetic or spiritual body. The word ‘Chakra’ itself means ‘wheel’ or ‘vortex’ and comes from the tantric and yogic traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism.

Everyone has seven major chakras, as well as several ‘secondary’ chakras. The main chakras are: the Root Chakra, which is located at the base of your spine; the Sacral (or Navel) Chakra, which is located at the level of your belly button; the Solar Plexus Chakra, which is located unsurprisingly at your solar plexus; your Heart Chakra, which resides in your heart; the Throat Chakra, which is at the center of your throat; the Third Eye Chakra, which is located just between your eyebrows; and your Crown Chakra, which sits atop your head.

Each of these Chakras governs a different energy or aspect of who you are. The Root Chakra governs courage and stability; the Navel Chakra governs your ability to feel pleasure; the Solar Plexus Chakra governs the ego, identity and confidence; the Heart Chakra governs all emotions and the ability to feel; the Throat Chakra governs all forms of communication and self-expression; the Third Eye Chakra governs our psychic abilities and the ability to distinguish truth from lies; and finally the Crown Chakra governs our connection to the Divine itself.

Sometimes, through the rigors of everyday living, we encounter negative energies, situations, and people that can clutter and clog our Chakras, thus putting them out of balance and leaving us feeling low in energy, dissatisfied, and generally ill-at ease. When people talk about Chakra balancing, they are generally referring to fixing an imbalance in this energy. Most often, people have problems with underperforming Chakra points, but Chakras can sometimes be overactive as well, which still requires a similar balancing treatment.

The Sun Moves into Virgo August 22 2013:

Virgo: Earth: Feminine: Mutable:

Sign of the Zodiac, depicted in the form of jewelry. Stock Photo - 8673487

The qualities of Virgo encourage her to be steady and sensible yet flexible when the need arises…

Virgo sees detail everywhere, all those little things that are so incredibly important the smooth running of a home or a business, Virgo is onto them… However, because she craves perfection she can be overly critical not only of others but of herself too… this can push Virgo’s to work harder and longer then some of the other signs, but may also create upset as nothing may seem good enough… 

Happy to help and assist others, Virgo people are happiest when they feel needed and are kept busy, they have a fabulous down to earth, logical outlook on life and can put things in perspective for others… Great at trouble shooting..

Virgo’s love to keep lists and they need organization somewhere in their life to help them feel balanced.

Personal hygiene may be important along with an interest in health.

Virgo’s are advised to watch for a tendency to worry, especially over health issues, or for a tendency to make mountains out of mole hills. 

Many Virgo’s can be found working in the health field. 

Happy Birthday to Dayle, Cal, Dezi and to David and Beanie who are Virgo/Libra cusps… ☺
