&lt;br/&gt;                                                  An interactive Pre-School/Kindergaten Program
&lt;br/&gt;               Where a child learns to fly!
&lt;br/&gt;The Rowan Academy is designed to expose children to the many wonders of their world through interactive play and lessons using a solid educational foundation and a creative environment guiding their journey to discover the world around them. The Rowan Academy curriculum encourages freedom of expression, tolerance, values, exploration, and so much more! Our faith is important to us.  Raising our children in an atmosphere of faith and tolerance is perhaps the greatest gift we can give them. By embracing the individual educational needs of each child, we can play an active role in producing the next generation of leaders. We believe that a child can learn to fly when shown how to use their wings. Support and encouragement is a vital stepping stone to every child while they learn to make choices and try new experiences.
&lt;br/&gt;We here at the Rowan Academy believe that one-on-one learning is very important to a child's development and growth. Our class sizes are limited to a maximum of 10 children so that a teacher can lift your child to his or her fullest potential.
&lt;br/&gt; We want you child to reach for stars!!!   Rowan Academy will help them get there!!     Ages 3-5 (Must be potty trained)

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;A Holistic Fair hosted by Northeast Professional Psychics, Mediums and Healers Guild to be held March 3rd from 10AM -4PM at the Knights of Columbus Hall on 150 East Ave, Lewiston has lost its venue for future fairs. This event next weekend will be the last one to be held at this location because in a closed door meeting on Thursday February 22nd, the local Knights of Columbus chapter decided to withdraw from a verbal agreement to rent the hall to the Healers Guild from February to December. They cited religious differences as their reason for withdrawing from the agreement, though the Guild is not religiously affiliated or oriented, and it's members come from many faiths from Catholic to Buddhist.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Knights gave the Guild the choice of either receiving their money back for the March 3rd date or continuing as planned and paid for with an understanding that, in all probability, there would be protestors against the fair present. The Guild has responded by choosing to go forward with the event as planned as money had already been spent for advertising the event at that location. The Guild is also exploring an alternative location at the Universalist/Unitarian Church in Auburn for future Holistic Fairs.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Please understand that the Guild itself is not comprised entirely of Pagans. There are a wide variety of religious preferences that take part in and benefit from this community alternative-healing event. We ask that you, pagan and non-pagan alike, come out to the Holistic Fair on Saturday March 3rd,  to support the Guild in their decision to continue offering alternative healing methods regardless of venue. The Holistic Fair will have a new home in the Lewiston/Auburn area for the April 21st date, but we do not want  to be intimidated by these discriminatory acts. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We are not looking for this to be a "rallying cry to arms" but for this to be a positive act of community healing, bringing together all religious affiliations and spiritualities, as the Guild intended. Please come out and show your community spirit!&lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Astrological Update for end May, June 2006
&lt;br/&gt;Soli-Lunar Astrology for Gemini New Moon
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In this column, we follow the transits of the planets beginning with the New Moon. 
&lt;br/&gt;There are 13 or 14 New Moons in a year, not 12, so there will be the same number of these columns as we follow a soul based, feeling oriented, and more natural calendar regarding our earthly cycles (not oriented toward the archaic and awkward calendar that has confused things since the Romans imposed it on this world long ago).
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Transits for 5/26-6/25
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We begin with a New Moon in Gemini, which is the sign of communication, education, people, and ideas. It’s also a sign of contradiction, so we can expect contradictory behaviors, decisions, and communications in the coming month. Mercury will be in Gemini (but not conjunct Sun or Moon) and it will also square Uranus. This implies the potential for unpredictable scattering of energy that is akin to herding cats, and plans that are made during this time will be highly idealist and innovative, but fluffy in outcome and perhaps bearing little fruit. In my last column, I mentioned the powerful potential for profound change that would move thru during mid-May. So, if you didn’t initiate during that time, it may become harder to focus and carry thru at this time (especially if strong in Virgo or Pisces, i.e., Sun. Moon. Rising). If you were born under the Gemini influence (or other air signs) this flutter-by energy could seem like a breath of fresh summer air, full of ideas and potential, and some of us thrive on that! There is not much support for the earth signs here, at least until Venus enters Taurus on May 30th, then a greater commitment and beauty can ensue. In fact, as this lunation describes so much variety, a survey of all of our greatest hits and some of our fears will be passing in front of our eyes for us to let go of or address. But Venus in Taurus in combination with this "diffuse cornucopia" can give direction thru social life, pleasures, and beauty. Take advantage of this early and often.
&lt;br/&gt;As this month is such a mixed bag of aspects with little focus early on, the expression and energy will be different for each individual, and hard to describe in a comprehensive manner that will ring true for us all. There are a few coalescing aspects coming up in June that are decisive and describable. As Venus transits thru Taurus 5/30-6/24, it moves into alignment with Jupiter and Saturn (conjunct) Mars, forming a T square, which is usually stressful for most. Jupiter is retrograde in Scorpio having to do with an abundance of transformation, emotion, and strong life passages. This journey of Jupiter's is year long. Saturn in Leo has the potentially confusing contradiction of serious commitment and fun and sometimes can constrict the joy of this sign. Mars joins Saturn in Leo on 6/2, and these are in conjunction or similar position in the middle of the month. This can be excellent for providing motivation and drive toward pleasure, love, and identifying your own desires in order to take action.
&lt;br/&gt;While this can be a positive force toward accomplishment, Venus and Jupiter both pull on this, along with the Moon at various points, as well as Neptune later in July. Since Jupiter has to do with abundance and Venus with pleasure, beauty, finance, it is easy to go overboard, over-indulge, over spend, or scatter energy thru either determination or indulgence. For those who don’t desire drama in their personal lives, I advise a more conservative approach without fixed expectations. To the rest of us, the contradictions found in the fixed polarity of this time will certainly gives us a lot to be dramatic about. Certainly, do not try to stop the mountain from moving, the flood from occurring, or your lover from leaving thru sheer determination as this is where the conflict arises. For those of us who enjoy the Chinese paradigm of “may be good, May be bad” choices and results, we can have the times of our lives. Beyond this, the effects will be very individualized with lots of stories to unfold. May we live in interesting times!
&lt;br/&gt;The retrograde of Jupiter will slow to a stop July, so whatever is undone in June is redone and integrated in the hot summer sun.
&lt;br/&gt;The dust settles only after the Summer Solstice (Wed. 6/21 5:46 am pdt), which is also the last few days of the Moon cycle. This implies introversion and souls searching 6/21-5 even as the summer sun is stimulating in joyful communion- again in contrast. In fact, the solstice day is one in which the Moon aligns again into a T-square with Jupiter and Saturn. Many of the emotional aspects brought up by the cacophony of contradictory planetary voices will be resolved during the next lunation, so stay tuned.
&lt;br/&gt;Also of note is the retrograde of Uranus and Neptune. Retrogrades are the apparent backward motions of planets as seen from Earth. The outer planets do this for 5 months out of the year, and stationary or not moving for a few weeks on either side of that. The stationary times are more significant than the retrogrades are, as a laser beam is to light.
&lt;br/&gt;Neptune begins its yearly retrograde 5/23,implying more of what was stated at the beginning of this column regarding great ideas dissolving into committees, discussion groups, and frustrating action. Similarly, Uranus retrograde beginning 6/19 could dissolve and diffuse the group vision into many diverse and divergent pathways. For some, this can also provided serendipitous openings. These are not dire aspects, but they do have the potential for “following thru with the plan”, whatever it was.
&lt;br/&gt;Speaking of diffusion, there are endless aspects to describe for the coming month, but again each individual will experience them differently. Clear intention helps. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Astrology works on many levels and we can peel back the layers to revel ever-deeper aspects of ourselves and the truth of our being. If you would like to have a deeper reading of how these and other planetary transits affect you, contact me, Mark S. McNutt, for a personal reading.

&lt;br/&gt;Astrological Update for May 2006 
&lt;br/&gt;(Soli Lunar New Moon in Taurus beginning April 27th)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The dance of the planets continues! Even when we deny or ignore their influences, we find that our magnetism and watery bodies continue to draw influences from our immediate environment and the subtle influences of the cosmos beyond. The microcosm of our selves reflects the macrocosm. 
&lt;br/&gt;As this eclipse month ends, a little known fault near Salem OR gives a shudder as if to say, ”Yes!” even Gaia, the world Spirit herself, is aware of the alignment of Sun and Moon. 
&lt;br/&gt;The new moon defines the area of focus for the month, which then unfolds in potential for the first two weeks and then releases that potential (as defined by the full moon) over the following two weeks. All the while, the other 8 planets continue in their spiral dance to unfold our personal and planetary journey. 
&lt;br/&gt;This new moon begins 4/27 at 12:44 pm PDT (West Coast US time) with Sun and Moon in Taurus. Taurus has to do with the Earth and Her resources, physical plane, body awareness, material goods, land, wealth, and all that is tangible and measurable, as well as the artistic and beautiful. It is no coincidence that the ancients observed the connection between this earth sign and the joy of the Earth’s creation through flowers and growth of all that is green.
&lt;br/&gt;Energy radiates from the middle of the fixed signs outward. That is, midseason is the embodiment of the season. Spring, is described best by Beltane (the good time) and the flowing propagation of the Earth, than the firey newness of Aries. Summer, is described best by the midseason fires of Leo and Lammas in August than by the watery homebody sign of Cancer. Fall is described best by the intense and watery mystery of Scorpio and Samhain than by the balance of airy Libra. Winter begins with Capricorn but the airy potential of Aquarius and Imbolc speaks of the return of light, social life, and the rekindling new ideas.
&lt;br/&gt;So, this Taurean mid-season time, is the time for planting and being with nature, and especially for being true to our natures! The more we embrace what is natural for our body and being during this time, the more we manifest what is natural and healthy for us. Be aware of the abundance concerning our physical bodies and the environment, acquisition of goods and structures, the planting and the cultivation of gardens, and the magickal connection with nature. Garden, build, go for walks, and spend as much time as possible at the ultimate website...TheNaturalWorld.net.  
&lt;br/&gt;The full moon on 5/13 will bring forth a tidal wave of emotions and intense passions to a peak that is very powerful for moving energy; Jupiter and Uranus add to this. Ground yourself and ride the wave, trusting your emotions and knowing that your mission will have tangible results in May and beyond. 
&lt;br/&gt;Beginning the evening of 5/20, the Sun will move into the airy sign Gemini, bringing intellect and fanciful wings for networking the new ideas that are born of the strong roots available now. The plant is only as strong as its’ roots, so focus before 5/20 on growing and nourishing whatever those roots are. Otherwise, those plants (that is, your ideas and strategy) may become top heavy from too much talk and not enough walk.  Don't let your focus dissipate and dry out, water your emotions heavily in mid month.
&lt;br/&gt;Jupiter and Uranus are in the water signs of Scorpio and Pisces respectively, and are in trine, a favorable aspect, all month. This is excellent for new ideas and friendships, and creativity coming out of the blue with mostly positive and highly predictable results. We can expect old friends to arrive or contact us over the airwaves from far away places. As well, we can expect extended generosity to unexpectedly be returned. Karma is its’ own reward or dilemma, as we reap what we sow in a surprising manner.
&lt;br/&gt;Spontaneous travel is highly encouraged, as are serendipitous changes of plan. Endeavor to do, think or plan something that is original. It’s time, in the second half of month, to climb out of the box of self-limiting choices! The dreaminess of Neptune in Aquarius further encourages this, even as it slows down to begin its’ yearly retrograde (5/23). This implies "Get going!" on your new activities before 5/20, as the end of the month is best used for herding all of the cats that you’ve spontaneously decided to take on. The end of the month energy is very mental and diffused, but air signs love that playing field.
&lt;br/&gt;Mars in Cancer denotes aggressive nurturing of home and family situations, and feelings which suddenly come to the forefront, especially under that time of the “visible full moon” in mid month, which dissolves into more mental and social juggling around 5/20. A great shift occurs from 5/12-20. Be flexible and creative. Explore your feelings and the mind will follow.
&lt;br/&gt;Expect love and relations to be impulsive and immediate but not necessarily lasting. Even as you are building new bridges, exploring deep feelings and attachments, and feeling out what you value most, it changes again with the next lunation at the end of the month; so remember what grounds and roots you and return there.
&lt;br/&gt;We present this column every lunation or new moon, as a service and by popular request.
&lt;br/&gt;Astrology works on many, many levels and we can peel back the layers to revel ever-deeper aspects of ourselves and the truth of our being.

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The area I got the disturbing feelings in were mainly between Westwood Village and LAX, especially driving down Sepulveda.  There were 3 main hotspots - a crossroads near 2 motels, where Howard Hughes Parkway joins and where there's a bridge over (the I10?).  I didn't travel much around the rest of LA so that isn't to say this is where anything may happen - this is where I got the feelings.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Will someone get a sensitive to go and check it out for themselves?  I'm 5,500 miles away and there's nothing I can do.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I don't mind being wrong and being accused of being completely mad at all.  I would love to be wrong.  But, I get something happening inside the next 3 weeks.

Hate seems to breed on newnet, especially if you stand up for yourself and rights, you have none on newnet.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;From now on, anyone able to get onto IRC may come to IRC Galaxy.  I am going to rebuild and get others there as well.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;To join an irc server, type /server irc.aohell.org and type /join #pagan-circle :) All is welcome.  If you need further assistance, let me know.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;One night I had a wondrous dream,
&lt;br/&gt;One set of footprints there was seen,
&lt;br/&gt;The footprints of the Goddess they were,
&lt;br/&gt;But mine were not along the shore.
&lt;br/&gt;But then some stranger prints appeared,
&lt;br/&gt;and I asked Her, "What have we here?
&lt;br/&gt;These prints are large and round and neat,
&lt;br/&gt;But much too big to be from feet."
&lt;br/&gt;"My child," She said in somber tones,
&lt;br/&gt;"For miles I carried you alone.
&lt;br/&gt;I challenged you to walk in faith,
&lt;br/&gt;But you refused and made me wait."
&lt;br/&gt;"You would not learn, you would not grow,
&lt;br/&gt;The walk of faith, you would not know,
&lt;br/&gt;So I got tired, I got fed up,
&lt;br/&gt;And there I dropped you on your butt.
&lt;br/&gt;"Because in life, there comes a time,
&lt;br/&gt;When one must fight, and one must climb,
&lt;br/&gt;When one must rise and take a stand,
&lt;br/&gt;Or leave their butt prints in the sand."
