Aries (Mar21‘Apr20) Remote control is a modem marvel that allows us to connect into all sorts of entertainment and information resources. Yet this week these two words have a hidden message and act as key words to guide you. Your challenge is to remain ’remote’ in relationships and aiso be in 'control' of your emotions. If you could hit the fast forward button on your life story, you'd see your moods are about to swing haid and fa s t it’s your choice whether to dive into messy melodramas or simply switch off.

Libra (Sept24-Oct23) You're in a very Inspired state of mind, perhaps even dreaming about planning a trip to a distant destination with a loved one, so it's a wonderful time to slip the leash and head for the hills. If you are single you will meet someone spedal if you travel. If you're already taken, you will enjoy being with your loved one; Just talking and sharing away from the world will have a positive effect, bringing more harmony to your relationship. There is nothing as important as bonding now so make it happen.

Yet don't feel that you have to prove yourself now, because somehow you won't be able to. You may not be ready to forge ahead with your personal agenda; still it’s a good Ume to research and collect your thoughts. If you take some Ume to rest regroup and rethink, you will find yourself back in the driving seat in next to no Ume.

You may be attracted to an unconventional belief system that makes others'raise their eyebrows, but - if it works for you what the heck; besides it’s only a matter of time before the high brows will follow your lead! .

Capricorn (Dec22>Jan20) There are many mysteries in life and one of the biggest is how to make money. It requires a certain talent or skill and works like magic. Still, you can't expect that just wishing will help you line your pockets. Wealth can only come from realising your self worth and keeping true to your values. You could save a bundle of cash by keeping tra^ of daily expenses now, so tighten up your casual spending and gather up your money for things that really count!

Local talent is quite often the best


IN thanking Steve Ashcroft for his most interesting and entertaining presenta­ tion, Ribblesdale Camera Club chairman Jeff Cowling remarked to general agree­ ment that some of the best lectures recently at the club were from its own members. Steve’s title was: “Adventures with my camera” and a few pictures from his trips to Rwanda and India have been seen in competitions, but the full story was fasci­ nating. The journeys were to see the projects


for which Rotary Club fund-raising had been used. These were interesting in their own right, but the subsequent invitation to a marriage in India and the eventual honour of he and his wife being made honorary family members, was quite astonishing. Part way through his talk, Steve


switched to his recently establish photog­ raphy business, not the first Camera Club member to use his hobby as a way into satisfying self-employment. A major recent commission was to


photograph many places and activities in the North West, for a local government project. Members were invited to show their local knowledge by guessing the town or place shown. Ultimately, the talk led to a brief how-


to-do-it session, the most unusual part of which was his telescopic pole, similar to a giant tripod. This is carried on the roof rack of his


car, and yet allows controlled use of a camera from many metres below. The kind of shots taken by estate agents of property from ground level were poor by comparison with those taken from above, showing much more, and giving a better presentation of the property. The club meets on Tuesdays at the


Young Farmers’ Centre at the Auction Mart. Meetings start at 7-30 p.m. and more information can be obtained from Ken Geddes on 01200 423474.

ALBERT PIERR E­ POINT was Britain's most prolific execution­ er, overseeing the hang­ ing of more than 600 condemned men and women including Derek Bentley, Ruth Ellis and


Lord Haw Haw. Adrian Shergold's film,


starring Timothy Spall in the title role, is a dark peri­ od piece exploring the stark relationship between compassion and work ethic. Pierrepoint approaches


his grisly duties with pride, professionalism and a stoical detachment - a third generation hangman, he is well accustomed to leaving his personal life at the prison gate while he gets on with the job a t hand.


But duty and morality


are constantly battling in the back of his mind - a struggle neatly illustrated when he is seconded to Germany after the war and tasked with dispatch­
