Anne Styren and All Rights Reserved Continued on page 8 Editor’s Message by Lois Colley Happy New Year to our members who celebrated the New Year on January 1. The most dramatic change in date for the New Year occurred in 45 BC, after Julius Caesar issued an edict syncing the calendar with the sun instead of the moon. That resulted in an official shift of the new year but it wasn’t until 1582 that the Gregorian calendar established the new year as January 1. Since that time, most of the world has con- formed to the calendar established by the Romans. Several cultures still celebrate a more traditional new year. This year, the Chinese New Year, which lasts for a month, occurs on January 28, 2017. Rosh Hasha- nah will be celebrated from September 20-22. Diwali (Hindu calendar) will be October 19. The Islamic New Year is September 21 and prior to the 1940’s, New Year’s Day was celebrated on March 1 in India. Whether you are eating dumplings, grapes or wheat noodles to acknowledge the new year, one thing is for sure, it’s an opportunity for a fresh start. Read on in this edition of The Councilor. New member Mamoudou Ndiaye provides an insightful synopsis of crime in South Africa and Steve Kirby weighs in on ethics for all of us.
