CHEF TY TETERExecutive Chef

“For me, it’s seared shrimp and scallops and New York strip steak with an Irish whiskey glaze. It’s a variety, the best of all worlds. It’s like the atmosphere here. You can walk around the place and have three totally different worlds all in one night. “One of the keys for me when cooking is to make sure it tastes good. We’re fast-paced here and we pump out dishes pretty quick, but the food has to taste good.”

CHEF ABBY SHELLEYKitchen Manager, Chef

“My favorite dish to prepare is our 8-ounce Hereford filet. It’s one of my favorite steaks; the filet is really tender. I also like asparagus cooked with a light olive oil drizzle and mashed potatoes. The asparagus really holds up to the flavor of the meat, and this meal [represents] a lot of my favorite things to eat. “White Rose is a really relaxing place to meet family and friends. It feels comfortable, and the people you work with here, you consider them family. I think our menu has something for everyone; you can order something as nice as you want it to be or as simple as you want it to be.”

You can sip it from the cool cocktail creation in your glass.

You can taste it in the kaleidoscope of flavors and textures resounding from your plate in a perfect choreography of ingredients.

It’s the main ingredient White Rose Bar & Grill chefs Abby Shelley and Ty Teter infuse in every dish they prepare, especially their favorites.

PASSION,THE MAIN INGREDIENT.

Picture a plate of Central Pennsylvania’s rich agricultural products presented with a Mediterranean- inspired flair. At this table, rich dishes resound with the freshness of a farm-to-table philosophy and impeccable customer service.

The experience is what guests of Tutoni’s Restaurant can expect when they dine in downtown York’s hippest new Italian restaurant opening this May. The embodiment of a culinary creative duo, Toni and Tony Calderone, Tutoni’s will offer an equally creative range of dishes and new spins on traditional standards — all while showcasing the bounty of Pennsylvanian-grown produce. “This is the whole feeling we’re striving for. There’s passion and art and beauty from preparing foods that come from the farmlands. We’re about supporting local businesses, and we want to carry out that philosophy from the first seasoning to the first bite,” Toni says.

Dining at Tutoni’s is destined to be an experience for all the senses: delectable chickpea bruschetta, an in- house charcuterie board, cheese plates displaying locally sourced cheeses, salad toppings that change with the seasons, a vegetable lasagna (without the noodles) laden with fresh squash, eggplant, cheese and sauce. And what would dinner be without the pasta?

“All the pasta will be made fresh in house. We’ll be able to dry our ingredients and incorporate them into the pasta making process” with specialties like sun-dried tomato pasta, Toni says.

Sumptuous food also demands some great wines to accompany it. Stay tuned for a forthcoming launch of Vintage — a wine bar experience unlike anything York has seen — catering to wine novices and oenophiles alike.

TIMELESS TASTES OF ITALIAN CUISINE

LOOKS THAT TRANSCEND TIME

A night out at Tutoni’s and a performance at the Strand-Capitol? Dinner and a show never go out of style — neither should your wardrobe.

“People always ask me if we focus on a specific look, but we really look at pieces on an item-by-item basis — those strong, timeless, classic pieces,” owner Hilary Arthur of Arthur & Daughter says. “Do they stand the test of time and can they be worn now?”

Therein lies the thrill of browsing for vintage treasures at Arthur’s Beaver Street luxury designer consignment boutique. Indeed, vintage can be vivacious.

Melissa Grove is one of those people you meet whose exuberance and zest for life is unforgettable. Celebrating her 15th year of business, this self-taught artist and owner of Beaver Street emporium Sweet Melissa’s Dream is the epitome of creativity, tenacity and resilience. She brings this font of positive energy and an attitude of celebrating the individual to Sweet Melissa’s Dream.

The move across Beaver Street from 51 to 38 has given Grove triple the square footage she previously had, allowing her ample space to showcase the unique clothing, jewelry and accessories her loyal customers seek. There are organic, fair-trade articles of clothing, an eco-friendly Altiplano jewelry line, and a customer favorite, Lenny and Eva interchangeable jewelry.

Clothes not only make the man … they bring out the inner goddess in women. “I love to dress women and show them they’re absolutely gorgeous the way they are. I feel like I’m not just clothing them but inspiring them to accept their beauty and love themselves. I love magnifying that beauty,” she says.

For Grove, there’s no place she’d rather be than on Beaver Street. “I’ve been there so long, and we have such a connected community here among the merchants. We enjoy each other’s company; we can hold festivals and events and be really successful because we’re a team of shops. Both sides of the street are now full of shops, and for me, we’re always evolving.”

OUTRAGEOUSLY DELICIOUS

Flaky croissants, a bevy of freshly baked artisan European pastries and breads, fruity muffin delights, savory and sweet scones, and a cookie selection destined to make anyone’s day sweeter … all are prepared from scratch using rich butter, natural ingredients and farm-to-table freshness.

“We’re trying to promote locally sourced ingredients, having direct access to local ingredients and being in a place where the customers seek out these particular types of foods … it’s all about being fresh and wholesome and supporting a sustainable food architecture among the community,” Sean says.

The Austins plan to expand the business by opening a second location inside Central Market, called Local Prime, in May. “Local Prime will be gourmet grab-and-go lunches and dinners ready to eat and/or heat and serve,” he says. “This is our savory side. We’ll be creating dishes from locally sourced ingredients — beef, pork, chicken.”

Copper Crust? One bite of their delicious dishes and home-baked treats, and you’ll swear they’re worth their weight in gold.

SATISFYINGLY SUSTAINABLE

Sustainability is one word that’s been bandied about quite a bit lately. At its core is an ethical commitment to using available resources consciously, and that includes our food resources.

Jolene Kohr, owner/operator of Under One Sun, says she takes pride in the whole grain breads, natural cheeses and organic produce she uses to compose soups, sandwiches, wraps, and daily special creations she prepares at her café inside Central Market. With its home kitchen design setting a sustainable environment of its own, Jolene and her crew relish in getting to know their patrons on a personal basis, offering tips and techniques for incorporating healthy, organic foods into their diets.

A specialty of Under One Sun, the fresh juices and smoothies sparkle with an unmistakable flavor of freshness. Jolene champions these power drinks for their rich infusions of vitamins and minerals. The Zinger, in particular, is one of her favorite blends to get her going every morning.

The fruit-and-vegetable medley bursts out of the glass with its blend of grapefruit, orange, carrot, lime and ginger.

Ever the experimenter, Jolene says she enjoys coming up

with new dishes to bring to her customers.

“Cooking is really an expression of creativity. For me, ideas come from experiences and through people I

meet. It could be something totally

random … a song that inspires a dish,”

she says. “Even our style of cooking, I like to pull things

from different places and combine them. It’s the idea that we all live under one sun, and therefore we all essentially breathe the same air. There’s goodness and beauty in all places and walks of life.”

Launched by York College graphic design major Arthur Caleb Robertson, artc Creative has grown from dream to one dynamic design force to be reckoned with. With creative partner, soon-to-be York College graduate Kelsey Raudensky, Robertson is waging war against bad design. “We’re creators, and we can come up with a solution to your design issue,” he says. “artc is my avenue for getting my ideas to market. artc is my passion because of the people who believe in me.” And that avenue for Robertson led to Central Market. “I knew it was the place for us to be. The market culture, the vendor space and room for expansion... we love the building, the architecture and the atmosphere.”

artc has its fans well beyond York’s boundaries. Just ask longboarder and Lipscomb University student Shea McGee, known for tearing up the streets in Nashville while sporting artc’s t-shirts.

Bottom line, Robertson says, “I just want to have fun and create things that make an impact. I try not to worry but find joy in the uncertainty. I’m ready for the next phone call to take artc into a new direction.”

CREATIVE IDEAS THAT MATTER

Tantalizing tempura ... Udon, ramen and pho for all. Forget jetting overseas to experience these international delicacies. They’re right here at York’s Central Market with PANKO and STICKS Noodle Bar.

Since debuting in February, PANKO has been satiating market shoppers’ cravings for fresh tempura with buffalo shrimp, chicken, shrimp, tofu and vegetables accompanied by jasmine rice and sauces. Building on the early success of PANKO, STICKS Noodle Bar: Pasta Noodles Soup (opening in May) will unveil its full slate of Asian noodle specialties ranging from the traditional Udon to Japchae, a Korean-Japanese dish of sweet potato noodles accompanied by chicken or beef broth and fresh vegetables.

Growing up in a Mexican household, Diaz says he traveled the world during his 15-year career in the corporate sector and was exposed to the diversity of international tastes and textures. Since then, he and his partner have had the opportunity to learn from master chefs such as Munehiro Mori, Jaime Luna, Chef Cheo Garabito (Tyler Perry’s personal chef) and many up-and-coming culinary professionals throughout Maryland and D.C.

Together with his culinary expert Chef Christopher Teal, Diaz says he’s looking forward to continue offering York a feast of international flavors.

Who says you can’t learn something from living in the past? For Alex and Erin Bastian, their learning experience is one of total immersion — renovating a bell ringer of a beloved York landmark.

Their 1874 downtown dwelling on the 300 block of South George Street was the Rescue Station 4 firehouse. The couple, both art teachers at Kennard-Dale High School, purchased the building in 2011 before tying the knot at their new home last year.

From the signature bell tower overlooking the city’s skyline to a chalkboard the crew of Rescue Station 4 used to record fire calls, the Bastians have found that old buildings such as theirs can be like living history. Peek inside and you’ll spot a series of small white closets where firefighters would house their gear. On the third floor, a whole room features cedar wall paneling and trim, a space that may have been used for storing dress uniforms. Even the woodworking from what once was an operational call center and the fire pole hole remain.

The Bastians have renovated the second floor into studio and guest room space, and the third floor into their main living quarters. But it’s the future of the first floor, with its spacious fire truck bay/garage with

14-foot ceilings, where the couple will aim their artistic ambitions.

“Since we’re both art teachers, we thought about making the space into an actual art gallery — one where we could feature our students’ work,” Erin says. “A firehouse was where the community gathered. I would like to reopen our home, in a sense, to the community so that it’s still a part of the city where people can come in. There’s a lot going on artwise in York now and it would great to be able to offer art to a broader range of people.”

It’s also the history of the place they call home that Erin says she and Alex want to preserve. “The house has a lot of character. As artists, we wanted to keep the character of the house. We wanted to add on but not alter things substantially,” she says, describing how Alex used some old windows to create an intimate master bedroom space that still maintains the open nature of the interior.

Best of all, though, Erin says she and Alex are at the center of city activity. “We can walk to and from our favorite restaurants. We have the Rail Trail nearby. There’s so much happening in York right now, and I’m excited to see where the city’s going to be in five or ten years.”

FOR THE LOVE OF HISTORY

Internationally renowned photojournalist Lucia De Giovanni has travelled the world capturing the likes of rock bands, celebrities and dignitaries. At the intersection of being born and raised in Italy and trotting the globe most of her life, is an inherent desire to connect to the people and places she sees through the lens of her camera.

Knowing the history of a building, an object, someone’s life – is insightful and inspiring. Lucia, who recently relocated from Denver, CO, now calls York her home. Drawn to the many charms of York’s historic downtown, the Agricultural & Industrial Museum tops her list of favorite places.

“It’s a window into the soul of the city’s past.Seeing the innovation that happened in downtown and the surrounding county is amazing, and it’s even more exciting because we are living a new sort of industrial revolution. Knowing York’s incredible past, and being a part of the city now, makes me very proud to say this is my home.”

York’s proximity to several major metropolitan areas has made it a great place for music lovers to call home. But one music fan got tired of traveling to Philadelphia, DC, and Baltimore to attend concerts. And more tired still of running into so many people from York who had also made the trip.

Thanks to Sean Kenny, Artistic Director for the CapLive concert series, York has earned its own reputation as a live music destination. He started CapLive in 2008 in York’s historic Capitol Theatre, a restored, 450-seat movie house adjacent to the Strand Theatre. In total, CapLive has brought over 12,000 attendees into the Capitol to see more than 65 concerts featuring artists representing a wide variety of genres. And Kenny has booked all of these shows as a volunteer.

For Kenny, it’s about quality. He’s built a schedule that features both up-and-coming and legacy artists in a very special venue that affords the audience great sightlines and sound quality – and he’s built it right here in our backyard.

“In the Capitol, you’re pretty much guaranteed everywhere you sit or stand, you’re going to have a great view of the stage and the sound’s going to be incredible,” he says.

HOOTS & HELLMOUTHTouring artists arrive in York to find attentive audiences and promoters at great venues, and they want to return. They tell fellow musicians, their booking agents, and their friends. Thanks to that positive word-of-mouth endorsement, the geographical advantage of being in the center of Mid- Atlantic touring routes, and strong representation in a burgeoning regional music scene, York is gaining prominence in the national music community.

The first CapLive show back in 2008 featured Hoots and Hellmouth, a highly-energetic, nationally-touring folk ensemble from Philadelphia. It was the band’s first visit to York, and the only thing they knew about it at the time was that the band Live was from here. They’ve built a following in town since then, returning for a total of six York gigs. CapLive has hosted them on Black Friday for four years running, and they always look forward to visiting.

“A lot of it has to do with Sean Kenny,” says lead singer Sean Hoots. “He’s made it a very welcome sort of place. And through our visits, we’ve kind of watched a variety of developments happen in York.” The band has enjoyed trying new places on each visit, including Holy Hound Taproom and Mudhook Brewing Company. Hoots himself has visited on other occasions to attend shows at Kenny’s invitation.

“It’s well beyond business with him,” Hoots says of Kenny. “It’s very much a friendship with him and I love that we’re able to form those; they’re few and far between in the industry.”ore about the band at hootsandhellmouth.com.

WE BELIEVE IN

MUSIC

Inside the stately façade of the building at 32 West North Street, you’ll find a rhythm rocking its halls. There’s no shushing inside the media center when these students get together to strum a few chords on electric guitar, make a few melodies on electric keyboard and review a few rudiments on the electric drums. It’s all part of an innovative, experiential music education program at York Academy Regional Charter School (YARCS) called Inspire.

In its first year at YARCS, Inspire has given the school’s fourth grade students the opportunity to learn how to play three different musical instruments taught by three professional musicians over the course of three, 13-week trimesters. Students spend an hour each week receiving small group, hands-on instruction on guitar, keyboard and drums, rotating

among the instruments until they’ve had an opportunity to play each one.

“We’re looking for creative and innovative ways to offer experiences to children that include musical instruments, choir and ways for them to stretch their imaginations, grow and mature,” says Chief Academic Officer James Pastore, “and the children really enjoy it. It has added value to the school program and added value for parents.”

YARCS will offer Inspire to both fourth and fifth graders next year, further providing a richer musical experience for students. “The whole school is evolving and growing, and it’s a pioneering thing,” Pastore adds. “We’re offering students these opportunities to expand their horizons.”

“If you’re looking for a fun place to go, Friday Night Jazz is killer,” says Victor’s Italian Restaurant co-owner Ann Marie Yost. Kris Kostoff … he coordinates Friday Night Jazz with owner Mark Sindicich. Kris and the phenomenal musicians he jams with are known for punctuating the air with bright, bold tunes.“Kris has been around the music scene in York for a long time; he’s well respected in the community,” Mark says. “Kris is the primary reason that Friday Night Jazz has moved forward and spread organically the way it has.”

Speaking of bright and bold, that’s front of house manager Zach St. John’s charge. He ensures that Victor’s legendary wine list stays that way. “I like to have big, bold wines — Italian wines, Zinfandels from California and fantastic Chilean wines that give acidity to pair well with our foods,” he says.

If you’re seeking something special, ask for a recommendation from Victor’s fine reserve selection, or if beer is more to your liking, imported brews like Weihenstephaner and Franziskaner won’t disappoint.

At the horseshoe-shaped conversation bar, you can take a seat among Victor’s regulars, converse over cocktails or a beer from one of Victor’s impressive stock and groove to some great live music.

And about those cocktails… mixologist extraordinaire Andrea LaCesa crafts amazing drinks. “I love taking something from years past and putting a fresh spin on it. We’re in a historical building, and we want people to get excited about really great cocktails again,” she says. She notes that at the height of the cocktail craze in America, people pursued the latest cocktail release at their local bars and she wants to recreate that experience at Victor’s.

Always a purist, Andrea prefers fresh ingredients in her cocktails, and for spring, she plans to make the most of the county’s fresh produce and herbs. She’s also been experimenting with drinks incorporating her homemade fig preserves, infused with fresh orange zest, organic honey & figs.

From city limits to center of city life … the LSC Design team has returned to downtown York.

Ever since occupying the historic Thomas Somerville Co. building at 320 North George Street earlier this year, LSC Design President Rob Kinsley and his staff can’t stop inviting friends and neighbors for tours.

“The space, both inside and out, is as cosmopolitan as what you’d find in downtown Boulder, Portland or even Manhattan. At the same time, one can feel a reverent nod to the past lives that occupied it,” says Sonia Huntzinger, executive director of Downtown Inc.

Step through the entrance doors and the awesomeness of the space radiates from every window, every beam. The lobby is enormous; the “rampitheater” readily doubles as seating and staircase. The workspaces themselves blow every definition of traditional office out the door — low partition walls; open-style desks; comfortable chairs arranged for group seating.

The return to downtown York is the realization of a desire Kinsley and his team have had to work where they live, contribute to the core of their community and serve as stewards of the earth through their commitment to environmental sustainability.

“It was all about doing as little to the building as possible so that we didn’t mess up the coolness of the space,” he says. “But we’re also proud that our efforts will make this building the second LEED Platinum Certified building in York County” and the fifth LEED Platinum building in Central Pennsylvania.

Rather than keeping this amazing 47,000-square-foot place to themselves, LSC has offered the public meeting areas to local non-profits to host events. “We’re happy that when we’re not using the space, it can be a resource that helps make York City a great place to live and work,” said Kinsley.

Like the heat fueling a glassblower’s furnace, passion can ignite the flames of creativity and resourcefulness. For 37-year-old Harry B. Smith III, owner of Antiquita Glassworks, his fascination with hot fusion glassworks has been forged by family. For this fifth-generation York County resident, glassworks have kept him cutting, grinding and polishing in the quest to express the artistic desires of his heart.

“Ninety-five percent of my ideas have come from this snowball effect of seeing things. I look at a wine bottle and think, ‘What about the top? What about the bottom? What about the handle?’” Harry uses a water-fed diamond saw to cut each bottle, a six-foot-tall standup sander to sand the bottles flush and a process he’s dubbed “centrific polishing.” His creations range from more utilitarian pieces like bowls and tumblers to bangle bracelets and candlestick holders.

And it’s an experience for Harry, who does it all from his York studio. “York offers you an opportunity to stand out and have a microphone. The city has a history of people creating things. York has a really good future in terms of artisans and creators,” he says. Yorkers can see Harry’s hand at sculpture work this spring. Across from Central Market on West Philadelphia Street, you’ll spot a bench and a sculpture called “Makers.”

Harry describes the bench as a “Yorkrete” creation — fabricated from the by-products of York County’s industrial past (furnace slag, nails, bolts, pottery, stone and, at times, his own glassworks). “People really get into public art. It’s a good sense of pride when someone from York County gets the opportunity to place a piece of public art on York’s streets,” he says.

Vince Butera is a master at creating floral fantasies. To enter into his East Market Street business is to enter into an artist’s studio. Alluring Asiatic lilies, elegant dendrobium and cymbidium orchids, striking spires of lavender liatris … all are like paints in their palette. “It’s amazing to have relationships with clients for years and travel with them through various stages of life, using flowers to celebrate, remember or decorate for a special event, and to see how flowers help people express their emotions,” Vince says.

Butera’s arrangements are crafted with distinction, following art principles. “Our tagline, ‘internationally inspired, locally designed,’ happens every single day in our studio.

Our clients commission us to produce a piece of artwork for them. Our floral artisans have to respect the elements and principles of art, but they have the freedom to express their artistry in botanical elements,” Vince’s wife Carolyn stresses.

Attracted to the floral industry at age 15, Vince grew his business from a weddings-only service provider in 1980 into a full-service floral shop in 1986. His recently relocated floral studio, wedding planning parlor and fresh flower market calls an historic Market Street building home.

“We have this amazing city here, 10 minutes from where we live, and it’s a privilege to have a building fit hand-in-glove with the business vision,” Carolyn says. Inside, the open studio format enables visitors to watch floral creations come to life in their skilled hands.

“Whether it’s a bouquet of 100 stems or a single stem, there’s life and intricacy of beauty that’s in a flower. Research studies have scientifically tracked human response to having flowers in the work and home environments, and the results are stunning,” Carolyn says.

Combine characters and conflict, setting and suspicion, revenge and reward. Sounds like a novel in the works.

Here in York, literary masters are among us, but you won’t find their work on library bookshelves and on the fiction best sellers’ list. Their briefs, complaints and motions may only be read by a judge or a law clerk or two, but, in addition to legal creativity, their writing takes also requires a certain literary creativity on their part.

The attorneys of CGA Law Firm are authors in their own right. As they analyze case law; ponder the facts, witnesses and the parties involved; consider their opponents competing version of events and strategize on the creation of their arguments, they ultimately must tell a compelling story.

“Any litigation filing is, at its core, an exposition of conflict, the essence of literature,” says attorney Eric Suter. “I strive to convey my client’s case, position and argument at a more literary level, seeking to persuade not only as an intellectual proposition, but on emotional and equitable levels as well.”

Granted those heretofores, hereinafters and herebys are inherent with this type of writing, but Suter says the basics of storytelling remain the same.

“My clients are better off when my audience is engaged with, and even invested in, the client’s case and circumstances. That process begins with an interesting and readable presentation of the underlying conflict.”

And with conflict key to advancing the plot of a novel — or the activity of a legal proceeding — creating that engaging story is something the CGA attorneys do best. With a mission to “live your case like it’s our own,” the CGA team applies the most creative, strategic legal thinking to the cases they handle. CGA’s attorneys work directly with their clients to explain the options and answer questions before providing counsel on the best course of action.

At the end of the day, creating a memorable story on behalf of their clients is work that’s always autograph worthy.

Ah, the warm breezes of the season doth give a certain (dare we say) spring to the step. Warm temperatures, sunshine aplenty ... time for a little R&R in the sun. But these fair days are fair enough for getting your Seventh House in order. But just like the fickleness of the weather this time of year, ’tis a fickleness brewing about in the galaxies above as well. Mars has been in retrograde since late April, and that’s having a trickle-down effect on the inter-mingling of Uranus, Jupiter and Pluto. Fear not, gentle readers ... despite the cosmic interplays of power, we suggest taking time to enter into those elements that make life worth living: good health, good cheer, good love (and, well, a good bottle of wine couldn’t hurt either). Herewith, dear friends, is a roundup of cosmic springtime revelry for your reading pleasure.

STARSCOPES

It’s all about moving onward and upward, Aries. Time for the fresh start you’ve been pining for. Tap into the wellsprings of the positive energy flowing into your life. You know what you’ve been after; now it’s time to claim it for yourself: the new house, the new job, a new love in your life perhaps? Anything’s possible, dear Aries, when you aim your ambitions high. Get closer with those family members you haven’t seen since the holidays ended. Make a date with those friends of yours and enjoy a night out on the town (downtown York, that is). Remember how we mentioned in the opening about getting your Seventh House in order? Now’s the time to purge the clutter holding you back mentally and physically. Breathe in the freshness of the season ... don’t be afraid. Tap into the hidden potential inside you, sweet Aries.

Mars has been one familiar knock on your Seventh House door so far this year, dear Cancer. May’s looking like familiar company for this cosmic character, but alas, Mercury is about to make an introduction. Guard your finances carefully this season, Cancer. This isn’t the time to be making any rush investment deals. And if you’re feeling a bit distracted at your desk lately, Cancer, take heed: Now’s not the time to get dragged down into the doldrums. Focus on your strengths and talents ... you know you’ve got these going for you! Mercury’s impact around the middle of the month is not to be overlooked: Nourish that inner creative that wants to breathe some springtime air of its own. And lean on Mercury’s transformative power in your personal life, as well. Cultivate those connections with the people who mean the most to you. Dinner and some drinks over at the 13th House Café are just what you need right now. Most importantly, take a little time for you ... we know you’ve been burning that cosmic candle at both ends lately. Dust off that hammock, find a shady spot on a breezy afternoon and just let yourself relax. Ah, sweet Cancer, a little rejuvenation is the recipe for personal fulfillment.

The cosmic interplay between Mercury and Mars is hammering you senseless. Until now, you just can’t shake what Mars is shoving into your Seventh House. But cast your eyes to May 20th, when the Sun Surpass will soothe what’s troubling you, dear Gemini. With the changes in the cosmos above come some cosmic shifts in your own dimension as well. Mercury has some fortitude coming your way: If communications and your dealings with others have been a bit rocky as of late, you might find yourself starting the trail off the grooved pavement that’s been etching its way into your soul onto a more paved path. Now, we can’t promise there won’t be potholes (even the Common-wealth can’t seem to shake itself of all of them after the wickedness of last winter), but a little perspective taking might be just what you need to fill your tank. Ah, Venus, Venus ... watch your step here. Try to promote harmony in your dealings with others, dear Gemini. Choosing your battles and blowing your stack could result in unintended consequences, so cool off (literally and figuratively ... you know York has the cool, creamy, flavored iced cure for that). Just be patient, dear Gemini ... this ain’t your first rodeo, after all.

Talk about motivation. The merry month of May is your oyster. You’re feeling the need to let your voice be heard and take concepts to completion. Taking your inspiration from the winged mythological figure Mercury, fair Leo? Motiva-tion is good; just be sure you don’t come across as brash or bold, especially in those office settings (ah, but you need a breath of fresh air and a nice mocha latte, so indulge). Uranus will make your acquaintance sooner than you think, and she might just be bringing by some good fortunes of her own. And do be sure to get out of the house: Haven’t we all endured enough cabin fever this winter? Let your relationships blossom ... come on, let’s hear you roar! All that positive energy does leave a body tired, so be sure you’re getting some R&R to recharge those batteries. You don’t want the lights flickering away in your Seventh House.

Feeling a little like you’re on a roller coaster lately, Libra? Blame it on the cosmic interplay between Mercury, Pluto and Uranus happening in the heavens. But, never fear our feisty friend. We know you’re adept at rolling with the punches, so hang in there, bro! Mercury’s the one that’s got your back. Focus on building up those relation-ships with those around you, even when it’s most difficult. And with all the ups and downs you’ve been riding lately, our fair Libra, you might be tempted to bang a few bucks on some eye candy of your own, but now’s not the time. Head out to the greens and bang a few balls (golf balls, that is, we know where your mind goes sometimes ...). Keep an eye out for opportunities in the unexpected places, though. You might be surprised!

The Mars and Pluto duo are rocking your world quite a bit there, Sagittarius. But keep those emotions in check; there’s no need to be pitching fits about everything, not with that saucy Mercury’s presence still reigning about this month. You’ll need to keep a cool head, especially if you’re up against Scorpio (gotta watch out for that one). Go for a walk downtown and breathe some fresh air (a little shopping therapy couldn’t hurt here, either). Just remember the word balance. Take care of those responsibilities you have, but get out and spend some time with the people you love. Hey, the month of May is fleeting, so enjoy it!

Ah, Aquarius ... the seasonal shift is bringing some winds of change of its own into your life. New people to meet, new places to see ... keep your eyes peeled for opportunity. Mercury’s got a Rolodex wider than Saturn’s rings, and a couple of those numbers and emails may just be floating your way when you least expect them. You’ll be seeing a burst in some relation-ships, too: improved dealings with family and friends, and perhaps a new spark might be kindled (hey, those Leos are tearing up the town). Venus is like your cosmic ATM, but make sure you’re putting back what you’re withdrawing there, Aquarius. Rejoice, Aquarius, this is your time to celebrate!

Hey, Pisces! We were thinking about you on a trip to Central Market recently. (We know, we know ... market and seafood is an obvious combination, but we digress.) Seems just like Virgo, Mars has been blending you up like a cocktail, only there’s no cherry on the top for you. You’re feeling a bit pulled at both ends, but Pluto’s about to strengthen the cosmic spirit with some self-assurance you need to make the things you want to achieve happen. But be careful how you handle those situations with family and friends. Mercury can have some fickle tendencies too, showering you with sunshine or raining on your parade. Before you strike out to stir up the astral plane, make sure you know what you’re getting yourself into. All those feelings of self-confidence are good and can do amazing things for you when you channel them into something fruitful, but baby, you got to know when to hold them and when to fold them, if youknow what we mean. Take the Memorial Day weekend and indulge in some recreational pursuits. A few sun salutations by the seashore may be just what you need to send your spirits soaring.

Ah, the cosmic interplay between Mercury, Mars and Pluto will be paying off with big dividends for you, you precocious Capricorn. Positive outcomes, beneficial changes, a new outlook on matters ... hey, that’s a lot of good things to relish. And, fair Capricorn, the people around you will definitely be taking notice. Go on, we know you’ve been summoning up the courage to take that relationship of yours to the next level ... now’s your time, Capricorn. When that boost of self-confidence gets going, even the stars above will be sitting up and taking notice. All those positive emotions means you’re out and about a lot more these days. Pay a visit to your personal physician this month and get into a personal workout routine. You get those endorphins pulsing with some physical activity, and nothing will hold you back. You’re in a good state of affairs right now, Capricorn. That’s reason to raise a glass at the Seventh House Pub!

You’ve been a bit of a spitfire as of late, Scorpio! The seasonal shifts have you feeling a bit in a funk ... but Mercury and Pluto are about to work a little cosmic mojo of their own with Mars about to exit stage right from your Seventh House. We know you’ve been focusing on your job lately and trying to win the favor of others. Look about for those professional growth opportunities and seize them like the pesky dandelions that keep popping up no matter how many times you mow the lawn. (Seriously, those little stinkers are everywhere!) Your awareness of others will increase over the next few weeks, so don’t be surprised if you ferret out something that’s being kept from you. It might sting a bit when you do, but Mercury’s got the soothing salve; just don’t be afraid to speak your mind. Here’s another thought for breaking out of that funk: Think about your diet. Stop in at Central Market and stock up on some of the early season fruit and vegetable bounty, Scorpio. Oh, and tell Mars to dig those cursed dandelions out of the

Taurus, Taurus ... things have been a bit rough for you lately, haven’t they? It’s been the roller coaster ride that’s plunged your Seventh House through more crests and troughs than your mind can contemplate, but the cosmic kinetic energy is beginning to shift in your favor. With that character Mars being in retrograde, you’ll gain the power you need to plow through those objectives and goals that have been so elusive. Has the love life been a bit stilted for you, dear Taurus? Springtime isn’t just coaxing the buds on flowers to bloom; expect some positive energy flowing into those relationships. But be mindful of the merry-go-round going on between Mercury and Mars. (As if you didn’t have enough to deal with, right?) You might feel the whirling, twirling in your career and job right now. Use this time to chart your course carefully, dear Taurus. Haste makes waste ... now’s the time for a bit of chess play strategy of your own at Club Cosmo. And do be a bit mindful of your money, Taurus. We know you’ve got your eye on the candy that tickles your fancies, but the fancies of the season aren’t all about material alone. Take in the scenes from your own York environs and remind yourself what makes you the bull you are!

Man alive, Virgo! That Mars character has really been tossing some meteorites your way lately. We know you’ve been dealt a lot, but Mercury’s about to stir up the pot (in a good way). We know you’ve been up gazing at the heavens at 2 a.m., but, dear Virgo, it’s time to take it easy. Do some deep breathing; make friends with that yoga mat that’s been gathering dust in the basement. A little time for you means you’ll also be less apt to boil over in your dealings with others. You don’t want to be rocketing yourself up to the Fifth House ward anytime soon! Venus might be your knight on a white horse (or should we say the knight in the White Rose City) as you might find the economic pressure cooker start to release some steam a bit. Whew ... all this talk of heat and steam is making us sweat! Come Memorial Day, chill out with an ice cream treat and take in a Revs game. You’ve earned it!

What you feed your soul is just as important as what you feed your body. Creativity is that food for the soul — a sustaining life force we’d die without. Evolution Power Yoga (EPY) of York and Lancaster empowers its students and teachers alike to be inspired and to seek the concrete tools to nurture creativity in their personal lives, starting first with awareness.

“Yoga makes it possible for people to get into a presence with what’s actually happening, training your consciousness back into reality,” says Lisa Taylor, EPY’s president and founder. “I’ve learned to get in touch with my own creativity. It’s anembodiment of the expression I make when I’m in line with my personal vision.

“In yoga, there’s an actual experience in your body, an inner vision: ‘I’m balanced and ready to step forward in a powerful way.’”

Taylor and her team of volunteers are just as much teachers as they are students, using their own experiences to create a shared experience through yoga, and giving their students the validation to go forth and live out experiences of their own. She points to this transformative power in the example of one of EPY’s youngest students, an eight-year-old girl with cerebral palsy. “It’s so important for her to be present in theclassroom. She steps into the classroom and is a part of what’s happening. She leaves peaceful, smiling and happy, and she can’t stop asking when she can come back,” Taylor recounts.

People face real fears and concerns about participating in yoga, but Taylor says that EPY creates a nurturing environment, an inclusive community of supporters. “We want people to feel they belong here. You have to point yourself in the right direction and have some faith,” she says.

And through the transformative power of yoga, Taylor, her teachers and her students find the key to personal self-discovery and nourishing each individual’s inner creative self comes from the lessons learned through EPY’s living classroom.
