It was 0400 hrs local and still before the sun rose on a very dusty ramp in Southwest Asia when the doors of the CC177 Globemaster from 8 Wing/CFB Trenton opened. The first passenger to disem- bark, Mayor John Williams, was immediately blasted with intense heat of the local climate while tak- ing his initial steps into the Theatre of Operations. Temperatures aside, the airport that never sleeps was alive with activity and bustling with aircraft and material handling equipment, operated by Canadian Forces per- sonnel and coalition partners. Escorted by Colonel Dave Cochrane, Commander, 8 Wing/CFB Trenton, the other members of the Trenton contingent included the 8 WCWO, Chief Warrant Officer Kevin West; Honorary Colonel Glenn Rain- bird; and the WLEO, Lieutenant- Colonel Sean Lewis. Waiting on the hot tarmac to greet the visitors was Lieutenant-Colonel Tom Dunne, CO of the Theatre Support Element (TSE) and the TSE SWO, Chief Warrant Officer Lefebvre and other senior members of the unit.

September 5 – September 11

Theme of the week: There are lovely and large developments this week. Jupiter moves back into the sign of Pisces. The first half of the year brought blessings that will now be further solidified. Our romantic inclinations also shift to becoming decidedly intense. With the right attitude, it could be a lot of fun. It will be a great week, enjoy!

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’re thinking and then rethinking what you need to do to be healthier. As a result, you make fresh, much needed change to your habits. You have already come a long way over the last three years. This is just the final touch to feeling better than ever. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You are craving some fun this week. It’s a great time to do something you haven’t done in a long time. Whether you are focused on cre- ative or romantic fulfillment, bring a spirit of play and you will make strides towards a genuine connection. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You are in the mood for good food and comfortable surroundings. Keep your focus small to have the most meaningful experiences. It The Contact Newspaper staff would like to acknowledge Royal LePage ProAlliance Realty is a great time to fly solo and spend time alone, simply as the weekly sponsor of our feature, The Contact Comics. enjoying a cozy home. You are learning to be more comfortable in your own skin. CANCER ( June 21-July 22): You may not feel com- fortable in a moment that asks you to share sponta- neously, but you do have the chance to share in a bigger and brighter way. An important correspondence can bring your work to a larger audience. You are ready for a big occasion. LEO ( July 23-Aug. 22): It’s all about money this week, and that’s very good! A part of you doesn’t want to deal with it, but if you step up to the plate, a new financial opportunity finds you. You are ready to begin a project that will bring rewards for a long time to come. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ve gone through con- siderable changes the last 3 years. Now you reconsider the power of transformation. You are ready for a brand new start and a brand new you. Begin again with your hearts truest desires. You are right to have confidence in your success. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your dreams are powerful and can give you the inspiration and insights you need for your next big breakthrough. Keep a notepad by the bed. Your creativity shines forth and reveals an exciting new project and the way towards it. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your friends are asking for your attention and you are there to give. However, your time with them is not merely altruistic. Spending time reconnecting builds your confidence. In an unre- DuJour lated moment, you receive a bold business idea. Follow through, after your visit. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The big picture inspires you most. You have been spending a lot of time on your career in the hopes of a lovely return, or at least some recognition. Your ambition is rewarded in bigger ways than you hoped for. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you thought an opportunity was behind you, you now get another chance to strut your stuff and show what you’ve got. Any fears are simply residual from a time long past. You are better than ever and you will certainly wow them. AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are considering how much is appropriate to expose. Being around peo- ple you trust deeply can allow you to experience the vul- nerability you crave. By sharing, you catch a glimpse into the grand design of your life. It fills you with faith. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): What do you need from the one you love? You are getting clarity on this ques- tion. Regardless if you are connected or not, matters of the heart involve others and yet they are very personal. There is a higher ideal you desire. You may reconnect with someone from the past.
