Delta mayoralty can-didate Krista Engellandwasted no time in taking thegloves off over Southlandsdevelopment followingDelta council officially get-ting an application.
Civic politicians receivedCentury Group’s applica-tion Monday to amend theOfficial Community Plan(OCP) and then approved alengthy public consultationprocess.
The process will start
early in 2012 with a seriesof public information meet-ings before council consid-ers preliminary approval ofthe application. If given thatapproval, the applicationwould then be subject to itsfirst public hearing.
Century Group wantsto develop the 500-plusacre Tsawwassen site with950 housing units, whiletransferring 80 per cent ofthe land to the Corporationof Delta, most of which isearmarked for small-scalefarming.
Engelland said Century’s
scaled back develop-ment plan is based on theMayor’s Summit earlier thisyear, and questioned thelegality of that undertaking.
“Contrary to open publicdealings with the public onthese kinds of matters, themayor went behind closeddoors to discuss with theland owner and developer,Century Group, to discussin-camera what should bedone with the land,” saidEngelland.
The one-time Jacksonpolitical ally said it suggests“a far too cozy and special
relationship between Deltaand large developers.”
The summit was con-vened after a public hear-ing that considered put-ting the Southlands backin the Agricultural LandReserve was terminated.The summit’s participants,hand-picked by the mayor,included representativesfrom all sides of the issue.The summit sessions werenot open to the public.
Engelland said in review-ing the Local GovernmentAct she saw no provisionfor that kind of meeting.
“I do not see that a meet-ing of this type can takeplace,” said the former five-term councillor.
Delta chief administrativeofficer George Harvie saidthis week the municipalityreceived a legal opinion onthe summit before goingahead with it to ensure itwas a permitted process.
Saying she thought thesummit was a successbecause of its divergenceof views, Jackson told theOptimist all that council isdoing is simply following aprocess to which any land-
owner is entitled.She said Engelland
should understand that, hav-ing served on council for 15years.
Vancouver-based GlacierMedia Inc. is buyingthe Delta Optimist fromPostmedia Network Inc.
On Tuesday, Postmediaannounced a definitiveagreement to sell dailynewspapers the VictoriaTimes Colonist, NanaimoDaily News and AlberniValley Times and its B.C.
community newspaperproperties — includingthe Optimist — to GlacierMedia Inc. for $86.5 mil-lion.
“We are pleased toannounce a transactionthat realizes the value ofthe community newspapergroups in Western Canadaalong with the Times
Colonist, a newspaperwith a proud 153-year his-tory,” said Paul Godfrey,Postmedia president andCEO.
The acquisition was theresult of an unsolicited offerfor the Vancouver Islandnewspapers and LowerMainland B.C. communitynewspaper properties.
Included in the transac-tion are three daily news-papers and 20 weekly andbiweekly community publi-cations, including the NorthShore News, VancouverCourier, Surrey Now andRichmond News, all partof the 12-paper LowerMainland Publishing net-work.
The deal does not includePostmedia’s Vancouverdaily newspapers: theVancouver Sun and TheProvince.
For the Optimist, it’sbusiness as usual, said pub-lisher Lori Chalmers.
“We will continue, as wealways have, to provide ourreaders with the very best
community news coverageand our clients with theexcellent customer servicethey have come to expectfrom us.”
The deal is subject tocustomary closing condi-tions and governmentregulatory approvals andis expected to close on orabout Nov. 30, 2011.
Members of the LadnerRotary Club have beenworking hard this fall tohelp rid the area of a nox-ious weed.
Don Burkett and severalother members have beenout in Boundary Bay armedwith shovels in an attemptto eradicate spartina anglicafrom the area.
Angela Danyluk, seniorenvironmental officer withthe Corporation of Delta,said the weed, which is aspecies of cordgrass, wasfirst introduced in theBritish Isles as a means oferosion control.
“It’s a nightmare,” shesaid, adding it’s considerednoxious because it is so per-vasive and as it spreads ithas the ability to take overnative plants and smothernatural eco-systems, suchas the inter-tidal area inBoundary Bay.
The plant’s dense rootsystem binds the soil andthe tall grass increases siltdeposits, making it effective
in erosion control, however,as the weed takes over anarea it prevents birds andother natural species fromfeeding.
Essentially it has thepotential to convert a wet-land into a dry land andmake the area inhospitableto salmon and other inver-tebrate.
“It’s a game changer,”Danyluk said, adding thatdespite efforts to removethe weed more is being seenin the area. “The time to actis now.”
The noxious weed ismonitored by Delta staffand the B.C. SpartinaWorking Group, a consor-tium of conservation orga-nizations and governmentagencies. Spartina plantsare identified and flaggedand then removed by staffor volunteers.
The dense root systemsalso make the plant difficultto completely remove man-ually, however, a group ofvolunteers from the LadnerRotary Club, spearheadedby Burkett, has been out onseveral occasions this fall
doing what it can to dig upthe plant.
The effort included sevenRotary members and 12other volunteers from thecommnuity. The group putin 58 hours of work overthe past two months and inthe end took out 250 bagsof spartina.
Each bag weighed, on
average, 41 pounds so thegroup removed five tons ofspartina from the area.
The last plant wasremoved from the shorelineby an excavator Thursdaymorning.
Burkett said this is thefirst time all identifiedplants have been removedfrom the shoreline.
It’s hard work, though,and Burkett said he wouldlike to see more localgroups come forward tohelp with the efforts andbecome stewards of theland.
Danyluk warns residentsnot to simply start diggingup anything they suspect isspartina. The weed should
only be removed in the latesummer and early fall.
Residents who spot whatthey suspect is spartina, orthose who want to volun-teer to help with removal,are encouraged to contactDelta’s office of climateaction and environment at604-946-3253 or via e-mailat [email protected].

The Tsawwassen FirstNation likely won’t be mak-ing any big announcementsabout its major commercialdevelopments until late thisyear or early 2012.
The TFN EconomicDevelopment Corporationannounced this spring it had
entered into a memorandumof agreement with a pairof development companiesthat would result in 1.8 mil-lion square feet of retail,entertainment and officespace just off Highway 17.Deals were reached withIvanhoe Cambridge andthe Property DevelopmentGroup to develop up to 70hectares (175 acres).
Chris Hartman, CEO ofthe economic developmentcorporation, said the FirstNation is currently under-taking a “due diligenceexercise” to make sure theproject is feasible as wellas setting out the neces-sary approval processes“to move it from paper toproduct.”
“You can imagine a
project like this is fairlycomplex,” he said. “That’swhy it’s slow but steady, butwe’re moving in the rightdirection.”
Hartman said the earliestthe process they’re under-taking will be completedis the end of this year, atwhich time the TFN willbe able to provide a clearerpicture of how the project
is unfolding. Althoughthere has been all kindsof speculation over whichbig-box retailers could becoming, tenant informationmight not be available whenthe TFN makes its nextannouncement.
Ivanhoe Cambridge’sproject would comprise1.2 million square feet as adestination retail and enter-tainment centre. Tentativelynamed Tsawwassen Mills,it would follow the modelof CrossIron Mills, north ofCalgary, and Vaughan Mills,north of Toronto. CrossIronMills has over 200 stores,including Winners, H&Mand Sport Chek, as well asmovie theatres and restau-rants. Vaughan Mills hasmany of the same storesand eateries.
Property DevelopmentGroup is proposing todevelop a further 600,000square feet as outdoor retailspace and mixed use. Thecompany has been involvedin a number of mall devel-opments in Canada, theU.S. and overseas.
According to the firm’swebsite, some of the pastand current projects in theLower Mainland includeCity Square in Vancouver,
Eaton Centre at Metrotownand Station Square inBurnaby.
According to a TFNinformation bulletin earlierthis year, the band hopesthe initial phases of theprojects would be underconstruction in 2012.
Meanwhile, the TFNis undertaking a series ofstudies for its planned resi-dential developments.
Earlier this year, theFirst Nation’s legislatureapproved a neighbourhoodplan that would result inapproximately 4,000 newresidents over the nextdecade.
About 110 hectares (270acres) near the Tsawwassenferry terminal wouldbecome home to 1,684residential units, includingsingle-detached (50 percent), townhouse (35 percent) and apartment (15 percent) homes.
Chief Kim Baird saidmost of the studies now tak-ing place are looking at theinfrastructure and amenitiesthat will be required.
The TFN is also devel-oping industrial land,having broken ground onthe Tsawwassen GatewayLogistics Centre.
Delta is pressing Victoriaand Ottawa to address traf-fic congestion issues in theregion.
On Monday night, civicpoliticians voted to sendletters to the federal andprovincial transportationministers requesting theyjointly address the issueof traffic congestion alongHighway 99, including theGeorge Massey Tunnel.
Delta council would liketo see a planning process toidentify options to addressboth current traffic con-cerns as well as future traf-fic growth due to expansionat Deltaport, populationgrowth south of the FraserRiver and development ofTsawwassen First Nationlands.
“For Delta and othercommunities south of theFraser River, there is nowa pressing need to addresscongestion issues on theexisting highway network,which is becoming increas-ingly inefficient for bothcommuter and truck traf-fic, and to plan for futuregrowth,” Sean McGill,Delta’s director of human
resources and corporateplanning, stated in a reportto council.
Last month, Port MetroVancouver announced its$200-million DeltaportTerminal, Road and RailInfrastructure Project — athree-year program aimedat improving rail and roadefficiencies through SouthDelta.
With the construc-tion of the South FraserPerimeter Road and thenewly announced improve-ments for the rail corridor,Delta would like to seemore attention paid to theimpacts.
“There is now a press-ing need to look at theimpacts of the port expan-sion, regional populationgrowth and development onthe transportation networksouth of the Fraser River,”McGill stated.
“While the SFPR willalleviate some of the truckcongestion along east-westhighway corridors, it doeslittle to alleviate the signifi-cant traffic congestion thatoccurs along the Highway99 north-south commuterroute and the notoriousbottleneck at the GeorgeMassey Tunnel.”

Compass Group Canada,a company that providescontracted services toKinVillage in Tsawwassen,is in the midst of a labourdispute with its employ-ees represented by UnitedSteelworkers Union Local2009.
Compass provides house-keeping, food and laundryservices to KinVillage,said Cynthia Langenberg,director of health services
at the Tsawwassen seniorscomplex.
She said the disputehasn’t had a significantimpact at this point.
Workers at Compass’Lower Mainland long-termcare locations initiated jobaction on Sept. 26 and thecompany delivered a lock-out notice on Sept. 29.
The labour disruptionwon’t affect food, house-keeping or laundry servicesand given that all locationsare home to residents liv-ing in long term care, the
services, designated asessential services by theLabour Board of B.C., willcontinue without interrup-tion, Compass said in astatement.
“We respect the rightof our employees to berepresented by a union.Unfortunately, we werenot successful in negotiat-ing a mutually agreeablecontract with the union andthey decided to exercisetheir legal right to strike.We do not know how longthe labour disruption will
continue, however, we lookforward to a speedy resolu-tion,” Compass stated.
The workers basicallywent on strike because thecompany didn’t offer a fairwage increase, said unionspokesperson Brian Harderthis week.
“It’s not a fair wage giventhe increases to the cost ofliving,” he said, noting baseemployees currently make$12.01 an hour.

Life richerthanks toEdgar
TEDMURPHY
MURPHY’SLAW
It’s been a year since I said goodbye.It was late on a Saturday afternoon
when I got home from taking my momto the movies. I checked messages tofind one from Judi Stene, Delta’s deputydirector of parks and recreation, whoalso doubles as my neighbour. When Ireturned her call, I got the news: Edgarhad passed away.
He was 100, so it shouldn’t have comeas a shock, but it still hit hard. Anyonewho was lucky enough to count Edgaramong their friends knew just how muchlife there was in Delta’s favourite cente-narian. He was well into his 101st yearon this planet, but he sure didn’t act likeit.
Then on the morning of Oct. 23rd oflast year, his body gave out, leaving ahole in this community that will neverbe filled. He meant a great deal to many,many people, each of whom has specialmemories of the times they crossed pathswith Edgar Dunning.
I miss the stories he would tell, thetales of a bygone era that Edgar couldbring to life with wit and jaw-droppingdetail. I miss the creative excuses he pro-vided when his column was late becausehis computer wasn’t cooperating. I missthe way he put life into perspective bynever sweating the small stuff, and hownot even the weightier stuff could bringhim down.
I still think about him often. His photoremains on the template for this page,so each time I open it he’s staring backat me. I now live across the street fromthe place he called home for decades, soevery time I walk out my front door I’mreminded of Edgar.
I miss him a lot, but I try not to dwellon that. Instead, I remind myself that Ishould be grateful for the time we shared,for the wisdom, the mentoring, the laugh-ter and the friendship.
My life is richer because it inter-sected with the remarkable life of EdgarClesson Dunning.
And even though he’s not here any-more, those memories can’t be takenaway.
I’d like to leave you today with a lim-erick about Edgar. It comes from noneother than Ken Oakley, a prolific limer-ist who provided Edgar with much copyover the years for his popular Ramblingcolumn. I’m certain Edgar wouldapprove!
It’s been a year since we lost our Mr.Dunning,
Who left us with creativity and cun-ning.
He left us in style,Drove his last mile,Then both his engines ceased running!

While most folks in South Deltaare fatigued by the incessant infor-mation about the Southlands, Deltacouncil last Monday evening set usall on a new course — one that weneed to watch.
The Southlands had been exclud-ed from consideration in the areaplan over the past two years and theMetro Vancouver Growth Strategyhad it in the Green Zone. But,based on a council decision lastMonday, development possibilitiesare alive and wiggling again!
Part of its reincarnation, Ibelieve, is due to the privateMayor’s Summit of last spring,which was held behind closeddoors and during which the mayorattempted to craft policy. Irregularfor sure, perhaps even illegal, atleast according to one mayoraltycandidate.
The new twist in all of thisis that Century, the promoterof Southlands, is going to try
to exhaust us in a new process.Instead of presenting a plan, it issimply asking to have the land usedesignations changed. Is it thatsimple?
It has got Delta caught up inconducting two public meetingssoon after the election followedby a public hearing. If it succeeds,it will then present a plan thatwill require many more meetingsand many more public hearings.If Century fails, it goes back tothe drawing board for few monthsbefore reappearing in yet anotherset of clothes.
The application before councilto rezone 536 acres comprisedthree pages of text and did not giveany guarantees, nor did it give anydetails of what’s ahead. It wouldcommit Delta to manage about200 acres of farmland. What’sDelta’s track record of doing this?Effectively zero!
When the area plan was beingstudied, Century was, thanks to themayor’s office, allowed to enter theprocess and to get the better part ofan evening to have two Kwantlenacademics tell us about the dreamfarm that would take place.
When asked about the econom-ics, they said they had not studiedit. However by later examiningtheir examples, one solid citizenfound the example only worked
when public money was added— the farm operated at a loss.
So how many millions will itcost us to operate the dream farm?No one knows, but we are about tobe asked to rezone it and the sur-rounding areas.
Over the past several yearsCentury has tried to convince usthe Southlands is not good farm-land. Yet it is turning back half ofthe land to Delta to farm.
I believe it would have lookedlike very good farmland to myancestors who were pioneers on theprairies 100 years ago. Let’s agree,Century is not a farmer, unlessgrowing townhouses has becomea crop.
What about the public surveydone last spring that cost us some$40,000? Responded to by morepeople than voted in the last elec-tion, it rejected developing theSouthlands almost two to one.
Now it seems democracy isbeing cast aside. What about allthe furor of the last two years andall the meetings? Cast aside. Whendoes this end? Only when thedeveloper gets his way?
I say it’s time to stop abusingthe process. End the disregardof democracy. It’s exhaustion byendless meetings and closed-doordeals.
Remember this at election time.

Letters to the Editor
Editor:Re: Council campaign
begins with call for with-drawal, Oct. 19
Fabian Milat running forboth council and schoolboard poses some interest-ing questions. However,since the chief electionsofficer has already deemedthis move as perfectlylegitimate, there is no jus-tification and it is inappro-priate for Sylvia Bishop tocall on Milat to withdraw,unless she deems herself asthe moral compass of all ofDelta.
Bishop needs to cite amore cohesive and well-thought out argumentother than just thinking hewouldn’t be 100 per centcommitted to either. Herdemand is a political moveunto itself.
It may be best left tothe voters to decide if theywant to pay one individualtwo salaries and have themsplit their time betweentwo demanding positions.Councillors have a very
busy schedule, as it’s notjust Monday night councilmeetings. There are up to14 boards, committees andcommissions they sit on,often as chair or co-chair.
What if the school boardis scheduled on the samenights? Which does Milatchoose? Or is he excludedfrom work that conflictswith school board meetingtimes, thus placing extraworkload on fellow council-lors?
Could this also lead toa conflict of interest laterdown the line if electedto both positions? DeltaSecondary is now beinglobbied for as a possiblelocation for the new syn-thetic turf field. How coulda council member, who isalso on the school board,look at this and fairlydebate the issue?
The biggest argumentmay just be that if Milatwas successful in beingelected to both positionsand sets this precedent,what’s to stop all future
councillors to also run forthe school board? Althoughas far-fetched as this seems,it does make the scenariopossible. With six council-lors also sitting on a seven-member school board, thiswould effectively eliminatethe school board and be thegreatest disservice to fami-lies Delta has ever seen. Idon’t think that’s Milat’sintent, but it could quitepossibly be the effect.
In the end, Milat’s politi-cal move may be permis-sible, however it also maydemonstrate poor judgmentand not understanding whatis fully expected of council-lors. I suspect when votersgo to the polls they will letus know what they thinkand select what position, ifany, he is better suited for.
The ironic part of allthis is that he could verywell end up being the firstperson that manages to splittheir own vote.

Constant reminders arethe letters to the editordescribing acts of kindness

In no time a friendly,helpful citizen offeredhis assistance along with
another young man passingby on a bike. A good pushresolved my problem.
In the relief and excite-ment I am sorry I did notget their names, but theiractions justify the pride onehas in our townsfolk.

Mayors’ Council missedan excellent opportunity tohold the provincial govern-ment’s feet to the fire.
Instead of voting to raisethe gas/property tax, it
should have voted to senda letter to the provincedemanding the cancella-tion of the unnecessary anddestructive South FraserPerimeter Road/GatewayProgram that is sucking bil-lions of dollars away from
transit and schools.When will the provincial
government wake up andnotice the white elephantin the room that is stomp-ing all over our social pro-grams?

It was Delta’s KimberleyMonteith who took firstprize in the 14 to 17 “Teen”category with her story,
Lost in Translation, whichcaptures a moment of frus-tration in the life of a teen-age superhero.
When asked whatinspired her, the 15-year-old said, “I actually wrotethis story as a backgroundsketch for a character thatlives in my head. I’ve beenplanning his full story for awhile now but I could neverget into his mind and feelsympathetic towards him.This was my attempt to getcloser to that.”
Rounding out the topspots in the teen categorywere Laura Wilkinson of
Surrey, who placed secondwith her vivid fantasy storyabout a young girl whobefriends a wolf titled BestFriends. In third place wasMariah Dear of North Deltawith her suspenseful tale,Saltines and a Serial Killer.

Ella grabbed her surf board as shedashed out the house to the beach. The airwas warm and inviting. The sounds of thewaves sent excitement over her; she couldfeel its high energy surging throughout herbody. She was doing what she loved.
“Come on, Grandpa, the water’s great,”Ella called as she skipped across the tide’sedge and started paddling to the waves.
Grandpa chuckled as he started relaxingon the beach, “You go on ahead; I’m get-ting to old to keep up.”
Ella halted abruptly in her paddling,“Oh, Grandpa, pleeeeeease, this might bemy last time to surf before summer breakends.”
“No, Ella, I’d rather stay on the sandtoday; you go and catch some waves.”
Sighing, Ella reluctantly gave up, “Ok,Grandpa. We’ll surf together later.”
Smiling to himself, Grandpa set up themakeshift umbrella and picnic supper onthe sand, while watching the silhouette of
Ella playing in the waves underneath thelate purple and burnt blue summer sunset.
* * *Ella slouched in her seat during math
quiz, watching the tick-tick of the secondhand slowly rolling by on the cherry-redclock that stood in the front of the classroom. Five more minutes and she would befree.
“Hey, Ella, wait up,” Kirsten huffed,coming up from behind her on the wayhome from school, “I haven’t seen you allsummer, where were you?”
Ella adjusted the backpack on her shoul-der. “I was spending the summer at mygrandpa’s place. The waves have beengreat.”
“Oh, I missed you.”Ella quickened her steps. “Sorry, but I
can’t help it. I love being there.”Kirsten crossed her arms and rolled her
eyes. “You spend too much time there.”* * *
Ella rushed into their apartment. Hermother looked up at her, tears forming inthe corners of her eyes.
“Mom, what’s wrong?” Ella questionedas she walked towards her.
“Oh, Ella, pack your things. I’ve
arranged for two tickets back to yourgrandfathers.”
“I thought we weren’t going back untilChristmas.”
“No… Ella, your grandpa… has passedaway,” her mother’s voice crackled, “Weare going there to arrange a funeral and tosort out his affairs. We need to pack up hishouse.”
Ella stared out the window of the rentedcar as all the familiar places she had beenwith her grandpa whizzed by. She lookedahead and saw the cone-shaped roof of theice-cream shop that Grandpa had taken herto.
She would get the rocky-road while hewould get his favourite two-scope chunkychocolaty fudge ice-cream, which he wouldalways say was way too much for him andcould she please finish it.
When they arrived at Grandpa’s oldplace, Ella was the first person to rush in.She took a deep breath and smiled — oldspice cologne and pine sol. His old boardwas propped up by the front entryway.It hadn’t been used for awhile and had acoating of dust on it. Her fingers gingerlytouched it. Memories of them on their surf-boards came crashing down on her. She had
learned how to surf with him.Grabbing his board, she ran out the
back door to the beach. She stood in herfavourite spot — the spot where she hadfirst held her surfboard and looked out atthe waves as her Grandpa explained whatto do. She remembered how the wind hadblown her hair around and how the seaweedhad lapped up on the shore around herfeet. The mixture of scents from the beachseemed to combine like perfume. The gullssoared around, dipping and playing in theocean. It was where she had experiencedthe joy of surfing.
Her grandpa had been on the beach,getting ready to paddle out into the wavesand giving last minute instructions. In hermind, she pictured his soft eyes and wildwhite hair, his missing teeth and contagiouslaughter.
Ella took off her shoes and kicked at thesand. The wet sand oozed around her toes.She looked out into the ocean as a waveformed, Grandpa would have said that thatwas a wave worth catching. She grinnedand whispered, “Goodbye, Grandpa, be freeand catch some waves for me.” She wavedher arms up to the sky as the sun set for theday.

Avan and his mother get into their car. Itis a white 2001 Mazda. They do not talk forprecisely a minute and a half. Suddenly, hismother takes a breath.
“You haven’t done any of your home-work for a month. Again.” She does notsound angry, just resigned, which somehowmakes it all the worse for Avan.
“No.” Translation: I’m sorry that I can’tbe perfect mom, but I do try, I really do.

was out being a perfect little super hero lastnight. I stopped a robbery, and the anony-mous person that you cooed over when youread about him in the paper this morningbecause he rescued that man from thatburning building? That was me.
“You told me you were at Derrick’s twonights ago. Studying for math.”
“Yeah.” Translation: No, there’s actually
no such person as ‘Derrick’. I made him upso you’d think I had a normal life. So youwouldn’t get suspicious when I didn’t comehome until late (because I was talking somefifteen-year-old kid out of throwing them-selves off the top of their apartment build-ing), so you wouldn’t try to touch the partof my life that no one can touch — becauseit’s too dangerous (because I won’t letthem).
“You failed the test.”“Because I didn’t get it.” Translation:
I can’t pass a test when I have no ideawhat it’s on. I’m lucky if I make it to allmy classes two times a week, these days.Unfortunately for my education, criminalsdon’t seem to want to wait to hatch theirplans until I’m out of class for the day.
“Why didn’t you talk to your teacherabout it?”
“I felt stupid.” Translation: Because Ispend every waking hour of my life tryingto stop humanity from running itself intothe ground.
“You should never feel stupid for notunderstanding something.” A pause. “Whydidn’t you talk to me?”
She’s testing him. Avan knows that if hegives the right answer, she won’t feel like afailure as a mother. Anything else, and hewill break her heart. The only problem is,he has no idea what she wants to hear.
“I didn’t want to bother you. You haveso much going on already.” Translation:How could I tell you that I’ve been lyingto you since I was twelve years old anddecided that I wanted to use my powers forthe betterment of mankind? How could Itell you that I don’t understand because myeducation is just one of many sacrificesthat I make on a daily basis so that every-one else can have a safer life.
“Nothing you do is a bother to me.” Shegives him a sad smile.
He remains silent. Translation: I hopeyou never have to deal with any of myactual problems, mom. You’re too good ofa person for them. The only problems youshould have is wondering what to have fordinner, and which of your many normalkids (not me and only me) should get toride shotgun.
“Is there anything else going on in yourlife that I can help you with? Somethingthat’s distracting you?”
He pauses, pretending to ponder thequestion.
“No.” He finally responds. Translation:I refuse to drag you into my problems and,consequently put you in danger. I will suf-fer alone, if it means I can protect you.
She looks at him for a long moment,not quite believing that he is telling herthe truth. Eventually, under his even stare,
she is forced to conclude that her son mustbe being honest. Because her son wouldnever lie to her and not look guilty, he’s toogood of a boy; too smart, despite his failinggrades.
“Alright,” she smiles softly at her son.“Do you want to get an ice cream?”
“Yes.” Translation: Ice cream won’t helpthe hole that the guilt of lying is eating inmy heart, but I’ll get it any way, becauseeven dirty-rotten-lying-superheroes need atreat once in a while.
They enter a small ice cream parlor andbuy two ice cream cones. Avan’s is non-descript. One scoop. Vanilla. Normal cone.His mother’s is bright and vibrant, just likeher. Two scoops. One rainbow sherbet. Onemint chocolate chip. Waffle cone.
They walk out and joke about somethingmeaningless and stupid. But Avan’s eyes arestill sad.
Translation: Even as a super hero, lifegives you no reprieve. Pets die, girlfriendsbreak up with you, you fail your classes.And you have to lie to the best mother inthe world about how talented and good youactually are. Because you can’t let anyonein. Because that would mean that you putthem in danger for your own comfort. Andthat is unacceptable. So you sacrifice your-self.
Alone.

LOST INTRANSLATION
PULLED AWAYFROM THE SAND
October 21, 2011 The Delta Optimist A13
MBeing well prepared for a journey
has positive benefits. Think of yoursummer vacation.
Think of your death, the ultimatejourney. I was reminded of my deathat a funeral when we all said, “All ofus go down to the dust; yet even atthe grave we make our song: alleluia,alleluia, alleluia.”
One way each of us can preparefor our death is first to acknowledgethat one day we will die, and then toregularly reflect upon it. The Biblehelps me to do this: “My life passesas swiftly as the evening shadows.I am withering like grass.” (Psalm102:11).
This is far from a morbid exercise.Just listen to John Donne, 17th C.English divine and poet from a ser-
mon on John 1:8: “I shall rise fromthe dead, from the prostration, fromthe prosternation of death, and nevermiss the sun, which shall be put out,for I shall see the Son of God, theSun of Glory, and shine myself asthat sun shines. I shall rise from thegrave and never miss this city. Whichshall be nowhere, for I shall see thecity of God, the New Jerusalem...”
And consider this: preparing forthis journey is easier in one waybecause you don’t need to pack!Alleluia!

Frightening family fun
Family Fright Festis back next weekfor some morethrills and chills in
Ladner.The free Halloween
event, now in its fourthyear, is set for nextThursday, Oct. 27, from4:30 to 7:30 p.m. One ofthe big attractions is thetransformation (done bySouth Delta Secondarystudents) of the McKeeHeritage House into aspooky haunted house.
“The haunted house isdefinitely a huge highlight,mainly because it’s greatto see youth giving back tothe community,” says KellyWilson, recreation pro-gram co-ordinator for theCorporation of Delta. “Thestudents put so much timeand effort into it.”
SDSS teacher PaigeHansen says the hauntedhouse will have a MadameMcKee’s Wax Museumtheme to it this year.
“It’s become quite theevent, even within ourschool,” Hansen says.
She says students comeup to her and ask if they
can take part in the project.While her senior actingclass primarily works on thehaunted house, there willbe younger students out-side doing some clowningto keep those in the lineupentertained.
Going through the haunt-ed house will take about 10minutes, Hansen says, not-ing there will be tour guides(or “night watchmen”) tolead visitors along the way.Donations will be acceptedat the door with partialproceeds going to the B.C.Children’s Hospital’s neuro-surgery ward.
Pat Rogers, who’sinvolved in the eventthrough the LadnerBusiness Association andthe Delta CommunityMusic School, says if thehaunted house is too scary,there are a lot of otherthings to do.
“The idea is that it’s forthe whole family,” she says.
The McKee Seniors’Recreation Centre will havetrick or treat doors set up,craft activities, a Halloweenmovie playing in the back-ground and story tellingput on by Fraser ValleyRegional Library at 6 and 7p.m. The centre’s Kee Café
will be offering a $5 mealdeal as well. Next door theWintemute Boys & GirlsClub will have a mad sci-entist lab with games andactivities. There will also beinflatable rides in the backparking lot. The LadnerCommunity Centre will bedecorated and there’ll bea mini haunted house foryoung kids.
Family Fright Fest runs
rain or shine and 47thAvenue is scheduled to beclosed from 3 to 8 p.m.between Arthur Driveand 51st Street for safetypurposes. Street activitieswill include live music,hayrides, crafts, Delta’s FireHouse and LBA Halloweendisplays. For more informa-tion about the event, contactWilson at [email protected] or by phone at
604-952-3029.Organization of the
event has included thesupport of SDSS EquinoxTheatre, McKee SeniorsSociety, Ladner BusinessAssociation, Boys &Girls Club, Fraser ValleyRegional Library and theCorporation of Delta.Community sponsorsinclude Signal TruckingLtd., Mike Guichon
Ltd., Rotary Club ofTsawwassen, LadnerBusiness Association andDelta Community MusicSchool.
“All those groups com-ing together to offer a freeevent is just awesome,” saysWilson.
• The haunted house willalso be running from 6:30to 8:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct.28.

Coast and canyon — a B.C. circle road trip
The snow-cloakedCoast Mountainselbow the SkeenaRiver, dripping
long, silvery waterfalls, andthere’s a tang of cottonwoodwafting through the camp-ervan window as we dawdledown Highway 16 fromPrince Rupert to PrinceGeorge.
Also known as theYellowhead Highway, thenarrow road invites a slowerpace. We pull over to gawkand guzzle tea in our snuglittle RV. Enclosed liketurtles, we’re never disap-pointed with meals, trans-portation or hotels.
All we need are camp-sites, and there are plentyto choose from, from sce-nic provincial and federalparks, to fully serviced,strategically placed privatesites. We’re giddy with end-less choices and wide-openspaces.
Day 3 of our nine-dayroad trip, and it’s already awinner, in spite of moodyweather. Day 1 took us 500kilometres up VancouverIsland from Victoria to Port
Hardy, and if that wasn’tscenic enough, we thenindulged in a spectacular22-hour Inside Passagecruise to Prince Rupertaboard the B.C. Ferries’MV Northern Expedition.
Who would have thoughtso many waterfalls couldbe crammed into one smallcorner of B.C.’s coast? Soonafter, we squeezed intoGrenville Channel, rub-bing shoulders with forestand rock. And then camethe killer whales. ChiefSteward, Lorne Campbell,who has been on this routefor 11 years, says they’rethe star attraction.
In a holiday of superla-tives, this cruise trumps.
Day 3 started with adetour to the North PacificCannery Museum at PortEdward near Prince Rupert,a national historic site.Established in 1889, it’s theoldest remaining fish can-nery on North America’swest coast. Each building,perched on wood pilingsalong the banks of theInverness Passage, tells astory about the lost industryand the workers who livedhere. The site is impressivebut lonely.
On this circle trip, wemeet raucous rivers like theSkeena, the Bulkley, theThompson and the Fraser,but while the scenery is abig attraction, so is FirstNations culture and his-tory: the traditional fishingat Moricetown, the totemsat Kitwanga and the famed‘Ksan Heritage Site.
This afternoon we’reheading to Old Hazeltonand ‘Ksan, an historicalGitksan village at the con-fluence of the Bulkley andSkeena rivers. Crossingthe one-lane suspensionbridge over HagwilgetCanyon is an adventure initself, and camping at ‘Ksanafter wandering among the
totems and lodges allows usto absorb the spirit of thisculture.
Sitting at our iconiccampfire toasting sootymarshmallows, we feel thatif we weren’t camping, wewould have missed some-thing intangible.
Day 5 catches us climb-ing the 81 kilometres toBarkerville, where BillyBarker struck it rich in1862 but wound up dyingin a pauper’s grave. Snowstill squats on each side ofthe muddy street as daintydamsels in period costumelift their sweeping pet-ticoats, going about their19th century business inthis historic gold rush town.
We eat doughnuts fromthe bakery, watch the black-smith at work, take in aperformance at the TheatreRoyal and eavesdrop on astern schoolmistress givinga lesson to a classroom fullof 21st century students.
On Day 6 we cruisealongside grasslandswith the ubiquitous CoastMountains a smudge inthe sky. Ponderosa pineand sagebrush appear, andwe join the Trans CanadaHighway at Cache Creek.
Just before Lytton, isKumsheen, a tiny but glo-rious strip of campsites,tents, tepees and adven-ture, sandwiched betweenthe Thompson and theroad. The sun’s out andKumsheen is famous forwhite water rafting. Wespend an extra day here.
Day 8 and we’re smackdab in the Fraser Canyon,swaying high over Hell’sGate on the air tram.Operating since 1971, thehair-raising trip may be thelongest two minutes of yourlife. As you dangle overthat boiling stew, just imag-ine how Alex Fraser felt,approaching in his flimsycanoe.
Our last day is spent inVancouver. The circle iscomplete.
B.C.’s scenery, history,attractions, and recreationkeep pulling us back on theroad; RVing makes it soeasy to succumb.

“Just breathe,” he tellsme as I lie there while hepulls my left leg in a posi-tion reminiscent of a CirqueDe Soleil performance(minus the grace and cooloutfits on my part).
The “he” I’m refer-ring to is kinesiologist andfascial stretch therapistRobin Turner of BodyEngineering, and today heis introducing me to a newstretch technique called fas-cial stretch therapy.
Fascial stretch therapy isan assisted stretching tech-nique developed by Annand Chris Frederick, thera-pists in Tempe, Arizona,who have been honing theart of stretching for over adecade. Because stretch-ing is the last frontier toconquer with regards toexercise and sports per-formance, we are now juststarting to see some reallyexciting research on how tobend, stretch and flex our
bodies the way they wereintended to.
Turner first found thistype of stretching whilelooking for new techniquesand treatments to improvehis client’s posture and inef-fective movement patterns.For the past two-and-a-halfyears he has witnessedfirsthand the effectivenessof this type of therapy oneveryone from himself, tothe athletes that he personaltrains, to the average Joeand Jane.
What makes this type ofstretching different from,say, static stretching? Well,first off, a fascial stretchtherapist uses traction toimprove the joint’s range ofmotion. While the musclesmay be tight, one also needsto address the joint capsule— where those vexing tightlittle muscles attach.
By adding tractionbefore, during or after astretch, you help to releasethe soft tissue adhesions,improve the range ofmotion of the joint (becausethe muscle is only as flex-ible as the joint that it isattached to) and increasethe space between the jointsfor better shock absorp-
tion. Traction also releasesendorphins into the bloodstream, which in turnaids in reducing pain andincreasing relaxation.
From a personal perspec-tive, it also feels great. Iactually felt like I was twofeet taller after leaving thesession.
Fascial stretch therapyalso demands the therapistwork in a particular orderthrough the layers of tissuefor the best release. In gen-eral, Turner explains, thebest results have been foundby stretching the deepestlayers of the muscles firstand then working your wayoutwards.
For example, for my tighthips he started stretchingmy internal and externalrotators (the deep six asthey are known in theindustry) and then workedhis way to my adductors,glutes, hamstrings, IT band,psoas and quads.
After the series, whichtook about 30 minutes aleg, he got me to stand upand walk around to see ifI could feel the difference.I was amazed how light Ifelt, and the pain that I wasencountering in my deep
glute area from a 10-kilo-metre race the day beforewas all but a bad memory.I think I was beginning todrink the Kool-Aid.
Turner emphasized thatone of the most importantaspects of this type ofstretching is there should beno pain while in the stretch.It may be uncomfortable,because, let’s face it, it’s notevery day you’re on yourback with your foot comingalong the side of your bodyand towards your head, butthere should be no pain.
This can be a fairly radi-cal idea for most people.There are a great manyfolks out there (usuallythose pesky type A’s) whobelieve in “no pain, nogain” when stretching, butthe research is now showingus this is an extremely inef-fective way to stretch.
Turner says if you areever sore or feeling tighterafter a stretch session, youhave gone too far. A musclethat is pulled to its limits
will tighten up, instinc-tively thinking it is goingto be hurt, and a contractedmuscle is impossible tolengthen. This reboundingeffect is the death to anyonelooking to see results.
Finally, just as the namesuggests, fascial stretchtherapy stretches morethan just your muscles, itstretches your fascia. Fasciais a specialized connectivetissue that is thin, but verystrong and fibrous. Thinkof it as a tight stockingenveloping all our muscles,bones and joints.
Also described as a webof tissue, fascia extendsfrom your head all the waydown to your toes, front andback, around our internalorgans, as well externallyjust below our skin. It isresponsible for structuralintegrity (important if youwant to avoid injuries), forproviding support and pro-tection to the body and itacts as a shock absorber.
Through their research,
the Fredericks have foundthat by stretching the fascia,the rest of the body falls inorder.
I truly believe this typeof stretching works, forall parts of the population.Turner says it usually takesabout three to six treatmentsfor the individual to noticesignificant improvements.I already have my secondtreatment lined up and, ifyou live with any pain orare an athlete and want toimprove your performance,I suggest you give it a tryas well.

The show will be heldnext Tuesday and is a greatopportunity for the commu-nity to see the art producedby the students.
“I began teaching art atKinVillage five years agoand work with watercoloursas that is my main interest,”says Jenkinson, who taughtchildren and teenagers formuch of her professionallife.
Working with mostlyolder adults who “makesuch wonderful students,it is a pleasure to seethem grow and watch theimprovement in their work,”she says.
“Often, my students havenot had a chance to draw orpaint in their busy lives butit may have been somethingthey always wanted to do.”
Now they have thatopportunity to develop theirskills. Even if they have nobackground in drawing, “Iencourage them to gradual-ly draw more and give themtips on different aspects oftheir work. The improve-ment has been tremendousand each student has devel-oped their own style.”
The classes now have a
beginners and an intermedi-ate level with Enya Jorge,who has a background inteaching.
“She is particularly goodand showed a strong apti-tude,” says Jenkinson.
This enables studentswho sign up each year toprogress and learn newtechniques.
“The students want to
keep going” and this pro-vides a way for them to doso.
The gallery show willbe held Tuesday, Oct. 25 atKinVillage, 5430-10th Ave.,Tsawwassen, from 2 to 6p.m.

DriveTımeLeave it to Audi to take
a good idea and make itbetter. When everyone elsejumped on the SUV band-wagon a decade ago, Audiresponded by making thewagon better with the A6Allroad. When it came timeto release a no-compro-mise sports car, there wasAudi with the spectacularR8. And as luxury sportscoupes have come back intofashion, Audi brought usthe impressive A5.
Once an afterthought in
the luxury ranks, Germany’s“other” automaker hasbeen nothing short of bril-liant over the past decade.It started with the interior,with a top-notch designwork that made Audi’ssome of the most comfort-able and inviting vehicleson the road. Quality wasalready on the rise, andthe quattro all-wheel-drivesystem had long been astandard for excellence inthe industry. When Audidesigners ramped up theexterior styling, the packagewas complete.
So, what does Audi have
in store for us next? Howabout a car that combinesthe sensibilities of a sedan,the practicality of a wagon,and the excitement of acoupe? That would be thebrand-new A7.
There are no shortage of“four-door” coupes (sedanswith coupe-like rear propor-tions) these days, led by theMercedes-Benz CLS-Classand the Porsche Panamera,but the Audi A7 trumpsthem all. Compared to theCLS, the A7 offers moreflexibility thanks to itssportback hatch. Comparedto the Panamera, the Audi
is just a better-looking car.Add in a base price that’sover $15k less, and the A7has what can only be con-sidered an unfair advantageover its rivals. Even thenew BMW 5-Series GranTurismo — a five-doorhatch with similar funda-mentals — comes up shortagainst the A7’s impressiveblend of performance, style,and practicality.
Where price is con-cerned, the $68,800 A7 sitsa little above the A6 sedanand a lot below the ultra-luxury A8. Interestinglyenough, that’s also how
it feels in terms of drive-ability, functionality, andrefinement—but when youadd all of those things up,the overall experience ismuch greater than the sumof its parts.
If there’s anything work-ing against the newestAudi, it’s demand. Thereare undoubtedly manyconsumers who wouldappreciate the sensibilitiesof a four-door coupe, butit’s debatable whether anyof the current entries offerenough value to justify theirhigher costs. Until that hap-pens, the A7 will remain afashion statement in a nichemarket. And if you mustmake a statement, it’s abso-lutely the one to own.
DesignThe A7’s exterior design
is characterized by a longwheelbase with short fenderoverhangs, but the detailthat makes it special is thesmooth flow of the rooflineinto a sharp-edged rearspoiler that carries right
down through the rear fend-ers.
Up front, the A7 has along, sculpted hood leadingup to a blacked-out trape-zoidal grille with seven hor-izontal spines. It very muchfeels like a sports coupe’sskin has been stretchedover a sedan frame. There’salmost no hint that the A7is a hatchback until youopen the lid.
In addition to the stan-dard Xenon headlights,which are designed suchthat the car doesn’t needfog lamps, the A7 has theoption of LED headlights togo with the LED taillightsand running lamps. It’s avery interesting option thatsets the Audi apart whilealso reducing energy con-sumption.
Inside, the A7 boastshigh-end finishes and asimple, sensible aesthetic,with an upright dash andwide console.

PerformanceThe A7’s supercharged
3.0L V6 is tuned for 310-hpand 325 lb-ft of torque, andcomes with a state-of-the-art eight-speed Tiptronicautomatic transmission, aswell as standard quattro all-wheel drive. A V8 wouldbe a nice option, but the V6provides plenty of power ondemand.
The eight-speed Tiptronicis impressively fluid, withresponsive paddle shiftersthat almost make up for thelack of an optional manualgearbox. Perhaps that willshow up on a future S7variant?
On the road, the A7 issmooth and predictable,with nimble handling thatmakes it a joy to drive. It’s
not as refined as an A8sedan, but offers a sportierfeel and more feedbackthan the A6 sedan on whichit’s based.
Ride qual-ity is excep-tional—theA7 is quietand smooth,providing acomfortableride whenyou want it,and reason-able bodyroll when youpress hard into the corners.
EnvironmentA well-designed rear
hatch with a height-adjust-able power liftgate is oneof the A7’s key strengths,offering the streamlined
look of a coupe trunk lidand the practicality of a flat,open cargo space wit 60/40split-folding rear seats.The rear storage is supple-mented by generous mappockets and a big glove box
up front.Front seats are comfort-
able and supportive, with-out proving too stiff, andthe rear seats benefit fromsurprisingly good leg roomand head room. It’s not as
good as a traditional sedanwith a higher roofline, butmore than adequate.
The A7 employs the lat-est iteration of Audi’s MMIinterface, which works withthe popup LCD to controlthe audio, navigation, andtelephone system. MMIincludes a touchpad forentering keystrokes withless distraction, but driversare still better off leavingthe complex tasks for theside of the road.
Other advanced technolo-gies include a night-visionsystem and Audi Connect,an industry-first broadbandoption that enables the A7to serve as a wifi hotspotfor your mobile devices,while also providingGoogle-based navigationand search capabilities.

Thumbs upSuperb exterior design;
inviting interior; reward-ing performance; practicalhatch.
Thumbs down
Lack of a manual gear-box. Not much else.
The bottom lineA car that will catch on
quickly.CompetitorsAcura ZDX
The $54,990 ZDX comeswith a 3.7L V6 produc-ing 300-hp and 270 lb-ftof torque, along with asix-speed automatic trans-mission and Acura’s Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive.
Although the ZDX shares
the A7’s five-door design,all similarities end there. Incontrast to the coupe-likeA7, the Acura is closer to across between a sedan andan SUV.
BMW 5-Series GranTurismo
Starting at $69,900, thenew 5-Series Gran Turismois powered by either a 3.0LV6 with 300-hp and 300lb-ft of torque, or a turbo-charged 4.4L V8 with 400-hp and 450 lb-ft of torque,and comes with xDrive all-wheel drive.
There’s a lot to like aboutthe Gran Turismo, but whenit comes to design the A7is a clear winner. This isparticularly apparent in the
rear, where the BMW looksalmost unfinished.
Lexus GSThe current GS goes
for $54,650, but Lexus isalready showing off theincoming 2013 model,equipped with a 3.5L V6generating 306-hp and 277lb-ft of torque, and rear- orall-wheel drive.
The new GS will alsobe available with a hybridpowertrain.
It doesn’t offer the A7’scoupe-like styling or rearhatch, but the redesignedGS injects a lot more atti-tude and aggressivenessinto Lexus’s mid-size sportssedan, while retaining anexcellent price.

Team B.C. will be training inRichmond prior to heading the
the Challenge Cup, which takesplace Oct. 27-30.

Making a splash in international watersWinskill Dolphin swimmers Dalton Boon and Magnus Batara compete for Canada at recent Global Games in Italy
A pair of WinskilDolphins have been takingtheir talent to internationalwaters as they continue theirrapid ascend into world classParalympian swimmers.
Dalton Boon and MagnusBatara recently returnedfrom a two-week trip toVernona, Italy where theyparticipated in a nationalteam training camp andrepresented Canada atthe Global Games — amulti-sport competition forathletes with mental dis-abilities.
Competing in the S14para swimming classifica-tion, both swimmers morethan held their own on theworld stage against olderand more experienced ath-letes. Boon, who is just 17,advanced to the final inthe 200 metre freestyle andalso performed well in relayevents. Magnus, 19, showedterrific form in the breast-stroke, his speciality, helpingCanada place fifth in themedley relay.
Both didn’t have to lookfar to see a familiar faceoffering encouraging wordsfrom the pool deck. TheCanadian team support staffincluded Dolphins assistantcoach Amy Canuel.
“They have both beenrising through the ranks ofpara swimming in Canada
and got to the point wherethey have been placingnationally,” explainedCanuel. “This trip was to geta little bit of internationalracing experience againstsome of the fastest S14swimmers that are out therein the world.”
Boon has shown tremen-dous promise since joiningthe Dolphins last year.
A productive summerincluded capturing twogolds at the Western CanadaGames in Kamloops. Hisdecision to sign up withWinskill, reunited him withCanuel who worked withhim in past years with theLadner Stingrays summerswim club.
He will soon be headingoff to Arizona for anothernational team training campthen competing for Canadaat next month’s Para PanAm Games in Mexico.He will also participate inanother Can Am event inDecember, in what will behis final test before the2012 Para Olympic Gamesqualification meet in March.Although the 2016 Gamesin Rio de Janerio wouldhave Dalton competingin the prime of his swim-ming career, Canuel hasn’truled out the Tsawwassenteen going to London nextAugust.
“The fact he has onlybeen (competitive) swim-ming for one year gives
him quite an advantageover other competitors,”explained Canuel. “Wherethey are improving byinches, he’s doing it by leapsand bounds. The fastest inthe world in the 200 free is2:05. Dalton is at 2:20 buthas been taking two to threeseconds off at a time. Hewill just keep chipping away
at it.”A trip to London is also
within Batara’s reach. TheRichmond resident joinedthe Dolphins this year, justto work with Canuel andhave another S14 trainingmate.
“This is all about whatis going to help kids reachtheir goals and this was the
best fit fit for him. Magnuscoming here just madesense,” said Canuel.
“He is a great breast-stroker and on the cusp ofbeing one of the fastest inCanada.”
Canuel added she is grate-ful she was given the timeaway from the club’ provin-cial age group swimmers
to be part of the Canadiancoaching staff in Italy.
“I have given them a lotof one-on-one attention andthe club is so supportive,”she said. “It was cool tobe there and part of TeamCanada. It certainly got meall fired up to get these boysready for what lies ahead therest of the season.”
Winskill Dolphins coach Amy Canuel talks to swimmers Dalton Boon and Magnus Batara during a training session on Tuesday at theWinskill Aquatic Centre. The trio recently returned from the Global Games in Italy.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Oct. 23 - 29, 2011★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Aries March 21 - April 19: A month of mysteries,depths,secrets and hidden forces begins Sunday. Yoursubconscious will burst to the surface, to heightenboth your intuition and your intimate desires. If you’reundisciplined, you could enter an extramarital affair.Don’t confuse love and lust. This month ahead holdsa major change and/or opportunity for you, in lifestyleand finances. These will demand commitment;without it, success will dissolve. Tackle chores earlySunday. Crucial relationships fill the work week: benimble, co-operative. Big success possible Friday.Love, law, learning Saturday.Taurus April 20-May 20: A month of work anddrudgeryends;amonthoffreshhorizons,opportunities,new sights and exciting relationships begins. Youmight relocate; if so, go big and far – and not beforeNov. 10. Sunday’s romantic, creative. OK, I lied: somework and drudgery remains, Monday/Tuesday. Tackleit Tuesday for best results. Crucial relationshipsspark Wednesday/Thursday – all’s good, but temperor domestic tension could interfere Thursday eve toFriday dawn. After this, Friday is packed with successpotentials in intimacy, investments, finances, health– Saturday, too, but milder.Gemini May 21-June 20: A month of work,drudgery, some boredom, and caring for dependentsstarts now (Sunday). Until Nov. 10, these duties caninterfere with your wanderlust, or with your need toread, learn and talk. (The wanderlust, et al, is likely towin.) Be home, rest Sunday. Romance lures Monday/Tuesday, but even Don Juan would have difficultywith this one: go slow. That work begins in earnestWednesday/Thursday – but successfully, other thana problem driving or communicating (especiallylate Thursday). New people, new horizons andopportunities excite you Friday/Saturday – chasethem!
Cancer June 21-July 22: Sunday starts a month ofpleasure, beauty, creativity, romance, self-expressionand love for children. You’ll ride a winning streak – abigger one than usual, as social delights, popularityand wish fulfilment are added to the brew. Major stuffcould happen! A co-worker romance is highlighted.Sunday’s for communications, travel and casualacquaintances. Rest Monday/Tuesday, make sureyour home/business are secure/grounded, and getyour beauty sleep. Wednesday/Thursday spark thatromance, pleasure, creativity, et al. Tackle chores– and social/romantic joys – Friday onward.Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The weeks ahead featuredomestic concerns, real estate, security, businessterritory, and the foundations or “what you standon” in any area. (E.g., your education is – usually– the foundation of your career.) You might decideto abandon stale, useless projects or relationships,and to “found” new ones. (This will lead to success,especially in ambitious areas.) Chase money Sunday.News, details, errands, travel and casual friends fillMonday/Tuesday. Midweek brings th ose domestic,foundational concerns. Don’t be overbearing(applies to mid-November). Romance winks Friday/Saturday!Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Sunday kicks off a monthof communications, details, paperwork, travel anderrands, news, casual acquaintances and siblings.This year these things (emails, calls, trips, news, etc.)can trigger, or entwine with, some major projectsin the same zones, but on a “larger stage.” E.g.,communication becomes publishing, details becomeprofound ideas or higher learning, trips expandinto international travel, casual friendship grows tolove, etc. Wednesday to Friday brings clues – andopportunities. You might give up one life philosophy,and embrace another, this week to next June.
Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: The weeks ahead raisethe money stakes. As is usual for late October andNovember, you’re favoured to chase money, seeka pay raise, enhance your earnings, buy and sellitems, and deal with possessions. But this year anadded, deeper – and very lucky – level enters, sothat possessions become investments, the searchfor added income could lead to a lucrative business,the attempt to gain new clients could produce apartnership, etc. One flaw: until Nov.10, a partner orsomeone you really like socially could interfere with,even fight this, causing you to make a hard choice.Tuesday to Saturday highlights all this.Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Your hopes, sociabilityand popularity rise Sunday – the very day that kicksoff a month of increased energy, charisma, clout andeffectiveness. Use this month to the fullest, startimportant projects, seek favours – seize the day. Aslowdown will begin November 23, so don’t wastethese intervening weeks. Use Monday/Tuesday torest, plan, to finish up chores so they don’t interferewith the future. Then charge forth Wednesday toSaturday. Some days bosses will be critical; otherdays (Saturday) co-operative. Sense their mood, thenact accordingly. Big opportunities await!Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Slow down. Sundaystarts a month of quietude, rest, sweet solitudeand contemplation. Use these weeks to plan yourfuture, to handle overdue tasks, to fulfill outstandingobligations, to interact with government and solvetax issues, to deal with charities, to be spiritual andreconnect with the living centre of this world. If youdo some of these things, you’ll emerge refreshed andrejuvenated by late November. This influence beginsin earnest Wednesday/Thursday. A wish is deniedMonday, but might come true, quietly, Tuesday. Yourenergy, luck rise Friday/Saturday.
Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Sunday begins a monthof happiness. popularity, social delights, flirtations,entertainment and wish fulfilment.You are undergoingthe deepest change of your life, from 2008 to 2023.The month ahead brings you many clues about thischange, its purpose and intended result. Biggest clue:the change will bring about a revolution and grandrenewal in everything listed in the first sentence.These clues will be “lit up” by events, joy Wednesday/Thursday; by “quiet knowing” Friday/Saturday. UntilNov. 10, avoid working secretly toward your goals: itundercuts this fine process.Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Sunday brings a monthof career and status ambitions, prestige relations,dealings with bosses, parents and authorities. You’llbe under pressure, but you’ll also have excellentopportunities to impress higher-ups, especially thisWednesday to Friday. You might be pulled betweentwo extremes: ambition and security, even betweenambition and the desire to quit. Truth is, the desire toquit is luckier than ambition this year (to June 2012).Trying to reconcile these opposites can make youquick-tempered until Nov. 10. Step softly – luck ishigh. Joy, hope, Friday/Saturday.Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: The weeks aheadbring relief in the form of gentle understanding, amellow mood, wisdom and a gentle, compassionatelove. You might travel afar, deal with foreign-bornpeople, attend college, publish, meet a “teacher,” orotherwise expand your views. Cultural rituals arise –e.g., weddings, bat mitzvahs. Some of you will decideto wed. These themes are highlighted Wednesday/Thursday, and an event connected to them can comeFriday – with an exhilarating “uplift!” (Be ambitiousFriday/Saturday; this will cause the best to happen.)Earlier, embrace a challenging person Sunday.
