Tarot: Knights in shining armor

Tarot our western system of symbolism remains unrivalled in it's rich visual con- tent and meaning.

The focus of tarot semblances presented over the Past year now turns it's imagery to the actualities of our everyday world via the pip cards. In tarot people are generally represented by the Court cards. The first of these are the Knights or Kings.

passionate yet baianced ‘approach to mind, heart and soul. ~ The Knight of Swords lives in the realm of thought. Poetry and prose fly ele- gantly, casily through his dialogue. He seldom enunciates or writes anything that is not of consequence, he is indeed vivified by thought. His intellect is boundless and he adeprly explores any realm of the mind. His words pull us to him as his utterances echo the profound. Diana E Warwick offers both taror and astrology readings.

Whether you're 16 or 60, if you're about to.

become a new driver in British Columbia,

there are some important facts you should

. ‘know about. On May 4, 1998, the learner’s licence period will be lengthened to 90 ‘days. Then on August 1, 1898, the Gradu- ated Licensing Program for New Drivers will begin in our province.

GRADUATED LICEMSING WILL HELP REDUCE CRASHES. New drivers, regardless of age, are almost twice as likely to cause a collision than “experienced motorists. in fact, one in five drivers is involved in 2 crash within the first two years on the road. Graduated licensing will reduce the number and severity of *- crashes involving new drivers by requiring them to get more experience and develop better driving skills.

TWO STAGES ARE REQUIRED.

With graduated licensing, new drivers must pass two stcges before getting a fuil dri- ver's licence: The Learner stage and the Intermediate stage. During both these stages there are driving restrictions. Some of the conditions are in effect for the entire length of the program, while others are

lifted once you reach the Intermediate stage. ~

It will now take at least 21 months for a new driver to obtain a full driver’s licence.

LEARNER STAGE.

(6 month minimum. but can be reduced to 3 months with approved driver education) Conditions: * Zero biocd alcohol content * Display “New Driver” sign « Commercial licence restriction * Passenger limit ¢ Limited driving hours (No driving between midnight and 5 a.m.)

INTERMEDIATE STAGE. (18 month minimum) wa Conditions:

* Zero blood alcohol content

« Commercial licence restriction

Three conditions apply to both the Learner and Intermediate stages. The new driver cannot drive after consuming any amount of alcohol, must display a “New Driver” sign and cannot apply. for a commercial licence. These conditions are lifted upon completion of the Graduated Licensing Program for New Drivers.. —
