Witnesses sought in fatal crash43-year-old pedestrian hit on Ladner Trunk Road Tuesday morning succumbs to her injuries in hospital
Delta police are looking forseveral potential witnesses toa fatal pedestrian collision inLadner this week.
Just before 8:30 a.m. Tuesday,officers responded to a report of apedestrian struck at the intersec-
tion of Ladner Trunk Road andElliott Street.
A 43-year-old woman had beencrossing Trunk Road when shewas struck by a car making a leftturn from Elliott Street.
Delta police spokesperson Sgt.Sharlene Brooks said the driver ofthe car, a grey Nissan, that struckthe pedestrian remained at the
scene and was joined by two menwho tried to help the victim.
“The victim was transported tohospital for medical treatment,”she said. “Sadly, the victim, a 43-year-old female resident of Delta,succumbed to her injuries at hos-pital with family by her side.”
As a result of the initial investi-gation, Brooks said, police believe
there were witnesses that have notyet spoken to police.
Investigators are looking toidentify and speak to the twomales who stopped at the scene tohelp the victim as well as the driv-er, described as an older female,of a burgundy minivan.
“This minivan is believed tohave been at or near the intersec-
tion at the time of the collisionand the driver may have informa-tion that would assist police,”Brooks said.
In addition to those identi-fied, Brooks said investigatorsare asking anyone who may havewitnessed the collision to contactConst. Lisa Coupar at 604-946-4411 and quote file 11-20410.
Century Group president SeanHodgins will go over details of hisscaled-down development visionfor the Southlands at a Deltacouncil meeting Monday.
Earlier this summer, Hodginsunveiled a new plan for the con-troversial Tsawwassen propertythat includes 950 housing units.The proposal also transfers 80 percent of the property, more than400 acres, to Delta, including alarge parcel of contiguous agricul-tural land and a forested area.
In the latest vision, both thedensity and the footprint of thehousing component have beendownsized.
A variety of housing typeswould accommodate young fami-lies and those wishing to down-size, Hodgins said at the earlierpresentation.
In a brochure on his latest plan,Hodgins, who recently held a pub-lic open house, stated, “By creat-ing a future for Southlands thatdedicates the vast majority of landfor farming, we can move forward
with housing options for retireesand new families and the commu-nity moves forward from an issuethat continues to divide us.
“Preserving land just for agri-
culture is not enough. As weapproach this November’s civicelection, ask your politicians andpolitical candidates what they planto do with your land... Securing
agricultural lands for public own-ership does not, in itself, ensurethat the lands will be farmed inthe future - nor does it ensure thatany farming activity will be com-
patible with the existing surround-ing neighbourhoods.”

plan that included 1,900housing units and saw 42per cent of the land given toDelta for small-scale farm-ing. Land would have alsobeen set aside for greenspace and a post-secondarycampus in a proposal fol-lowing the concepts of newurbanism and agriculturalurbanism.
That plan never got offthe ground, but in a sur-prise move earlier this year,council agreed to request
the property be placed backin the ALR. After threenights of a public hearing, itwas evident the recommen-dation was a divisive one.
Those who supportedHodgins complained he wasnever given a fair chance topresent his proposal.
Mayor Lois Jackson thenorganized a summit thatresulted in Hodgins get-ting the green light to comeback with a new proposalfor the property that is
zoned agricultural but nolonger in the AgriculturalLand Reserve.
The Southlands requiressignificant improvements tomake it agriculturally via-ble, according to Hodgins,who said new market hous-ing would pay for the nec-essary upgrades.
Southlands the Factsremains opposed to devel-opment on the property,saying over 2,000 morepeople and their vehicleswould jam local roads,shopping centres and com-munity facilities.
Noting a majority ofresidents who filled outa mail-in survey this yearexpressed opposition todevelopment, the groupalso contends the housingwould be jammed againstBoundary Bay RegionalPark, the most ecologicallysensitive part of the com-munity.
“It seems clear that coun-cil places greater value onpublic displays over the col-lective voice of the major-ity,” stated spokespersonDana Maslovat when thenew plan was unveiled.
“We have tried to pres-ent alternative solutions forthe Southlands that provideeconomic benefit to theland owner yet respect thewishes of the community tonot use arable farmland tobuild houses, but they havefallen on deaf ears.”
Hodgins, meanwhile, iswarning, “Don’t be under-whelmed by simplisticanswers to complex ques-tions. Please be part of theongoing discussions for amore thoughtful future forSouthlands.”
The proposal to be dis-
cussed at Monday’s meetinghasn’t reached the develop-ment application stage yet,but it will certainly be oneof the hot button issues inthis fall’s municipal elec-tion.
While a community-wideconsensus seems unlikely, itremains to be seen whethermost residents will view thelatest development proposalas an acceptable alternative.
Monday’s meeting,expected to draw a bigcrowd, takes place atmunicipal hall starting at 7p.m.
As the world reflects onthe Sept. 11, 2001 terroristattacks in the U.S., localfirefighters and police offi-cers are taking part in localevents this weekend to markthe 10th anniversary.
Several Delta police offi-cers are taking part in theannual 9-11 Memorial Rideand Remembrance Service.
The procession will leavethe River Rock Casino inRichmond at 8 a.m. Sunday.The escorted processionwill make its way south onHighway 99 to Peace ArchPark at the Peace Arch bor-der crossing.
The service is scheduledto coincide with the timingof the historic events witha Canadian Forces fly-by tomark “the moment.”
The ride focuses on
motorcyclists, however, anumber of other emergencyservices’ vehicles will betaking part.
Delta’s fire departmentwill have two of its towertrucks out at 112th Streetand Highway 99. Deputychief Paul Scholfield saidthe two trucks would bedraped with the Canadianand U.S. flags to create anarch for the procession.
This year’s ride will also
feature attendees represent-ing New York’s emergencyservices.
South Delta BaptistChurch is dedicating part ofits Sunday morning servicesto honouring local emer-gency responders.
“It just seemed appro-priate,” said pastor PaulJohnson, adding that it willbe part of services at 9 a.m.and 10:45 a.m.
Police chief Jim Cessford
will be in attendance, alongwith other local officers, aswell as representatives fromDelta fire department.
Recently, a number ofDelta police officers andfirefighters, who werein New York City for theWorld Police and FireGames, got a chance toattend two special ceremo-nies. One honoured thosewho lost their lives in theattacks on Sept. 11, 2001,
while the other was anopportunity for members ofthe public to express theirgratitude for the support thecity received locally, nation-ally and internationally fol-lowing the terrorist attacks.
“It is an honour forthe Delta police to repre-sent this community andCanadian citizens at thesemeaningful ceremonies,”said Delta police spokesper-son Sgt. Sharlene Brooks.
North Delta residentScott Broderick hasdeclared his candidacy forDelta council in this fall’smunicipal election.
“I am excited toannounce today that I willbe running for one of thecity council seats in thisyear’s municipal election,”he said.
“I am running because Irefuse to stand by watchingcity council ignore wishesof our community. Weneed a council that activelylistens to and acts on theneeds of residents. I’m tiredof candidates asking mewhat I want during the elec-tion race and then tellingme what I want after theyare elected, and I want tochange that.”
Broderick, 31, has spentthe last 11 years in thetransportation industry in asupervisory capacity. He’scurrently as a warehousesupervisor at Canada West.
According to his newsrelease, Broderick is anactive participant in thelocal theatre commu-nity and volunteers at hischurch, working with youngadults and occasionallyfilling in for the pastor ata White Rock retirementhome.

Summer vacation time may be over for kids but fun at Delta’s three water parks will continue a little while longer. Noting the waterparks normally stop operating after Labour Day, Coun. Scott Hamilton, who’s on the parks and recreation commission, said themunicipality has decided to keep water parks going because the weather forecast looks good. He said the parks could be open twoweeks longer if the weather remains warm. The municipality has a water park in Annieville in North Delta, Memorial Park in Ladnerand recently opened one at Tsawwassen’s Diefenbaker Park thanks to the efforts of the Rotary Club of Tsawwassen.

Job action won’taffect students:teachers’ union
The Delta school dis-trict remains committed toproviding the best learningenvironments for students,despite the job action byteachers.
SuperintendentDianne Turnerrecently updatedparents on whatteachers in Deltaand throughoutthe province aredoing regarding jobaction.
The first phaseof B.C. Teachers’Federation jobaction will seeteachers not per-form administrativetasks such as fillingout forms, collect-ing data, meetingwith principals,supervising play-grounds or writingreport cards.
In an open letter as thejob action was about tobegin this week, Turnernoted student safetyremains a top priority.Principals and administra-tive staff will continue toperform many supervisionduties to ensure students aresafe and adequately super-vised, she said, noting itwould be helpful if parentspicked up and dropped offchildren as close as possibleto the beginning and end ofthe school day.
Delta Teachers’Association president PaulSteer said the job action
would not affect students.In a letter to the Optimist,
he said teachers would con-tinue to demonstrate theirgenuine commitment tostudents, their families andthe community as a wholeby focusing on the learning
needs of students and theextra-curricular activitiesthat students and teachersenjoy.
The teachers’ collectiveagreement expired in June,but the teachers’ federationsays there’s been no prog-ress in bargaining.
Turner said the districtwould continue to informparents of any changes ordevelopments in the jobaction status, particularlyas it relates to the potentialimpact on students, throughschool newsletters andwebsites as well as on thedistrict website at www.del-tasd.bc.ca.

As the Little House on12th Avenue in Tsawwassencontinues to become a real-ity, the group behind it isstill working to raise therest of the money neededfor the project.
Originally a familyhome, the little white housewas purchased by Delta in1979 to serve as a homefor programs offered byDelta Mental Health andRichmond Alcohol andDrug Action Team.
In May 1982, it wasmade available for 12-stepmeetings and in 2004 TheLittle House Society wasestablished to oversee thefacility.
For 27 years, the houseserved as a meeting placefor 12-step recovery groupsbefore being destroyed byfire in 2009.
Late last year the societylaunched a $250,000 fund-raising campaign to helprebuild the house.
After many donations —cash and in-kind — from
people in the communityand a successful jazz dinnerfundraiser last month, thesociety is still $50,000 awayfrom its goal.
More than 100 peopleattended the dinner andjazz night at Sharkey’s inLadner, which featureda three-course meal andentertainment by the PatGurr Trio. The event raisedabout $2,500.
Construction continueson the house. The doors andwindows are in and work isbeginning on the interior.Completion is slated for theend of November.
Aside from rebuildingthe house, the society isaiming at expanding itsservices. The 1,800-square-foot facility will also beavailable to the communityfor use as a multi-purposespace as well as an educa-tion facility for the group.
As part of its mission,the society has committedto reduce and prevent theharm associated with sub-
stance abuse, and to supportthe efforts of abstinence-based recovery through thecollaboration, education andfacilitation with communitystakeholders.
Community educationabout alcohol and drugabuse and addiction is a keypart of the society’s goalsand something it hopes tofacilitate through the newhouse.
For more information, orto make a donation, call JimStimson at 778-887-1828.

Chamber chair Ian Tait
said the airport provides amajor economic develop-ment opportunity for Deltaand surrounding area.

Attending a college or universityis a big step for a student. It’s aneven bigger step when it meansstaying or living away from home.Whether your child has made thetransition to university or is takingpart in an international exchangeprogram, making them feel secureand comfortable is imperative totheir success.
Most students liketo take along many oftheir personal itemswith them, such ascomputer equipment,cell phones, cameras,and even smalleritems such as CDs andDVDs. So it is importantto ensure that theirpersonal belongings are protectedfrom loss while away from home.Lost personal belongings can costyou a small fortune to replace,especially if many must be replacedall at once.
If your child has made their wayto university, venturing away fromhome and packing their personalbelongings, most home insurancepolicies cover their belongings upto a specified amount, as long asthey are still financially dependantupon you. Regardless of their age, ifthey are enrolled in university, livingaway from home anywhere in theworld, and they depend on you for
support and maintenance, coveragefor their personal belongings mayexist within your home insurancepolicy up to a specified amount.Now would be an opportune timeto check your policy to ensure thatthis coverage amount is sufficientto cover their belongings – if itisn’t enough, consider purchasing
a separate tenantspolicy which wouldallow for higher limitsof coverage.
Likewise, anystudent who supportsthemselves whileattending a universityor college, who nolonger depends onyou for support and
maintenance, will need to obtaintheir own tenants policy.
The right home insuranceprotects your child’s belongings, andgives you both relieving peace-of-mind. For more information aboutprotecting your child's belongingswhile away from home, speak to aBCAA Insurance Advisor. They willhelp you ensure that your children’sbelongings are covered, and theyhave the peace of mind that freesthem up to focus on their future.

TEDMURPHY
MURPHY’SLAW
It was a glorious late summer morn-ing, other than the fact it was my firstday back from two weeks of holidays.
I left the house shortly after 8 a.m.on Tuesday and walked north alongArthur Drive toward our office in LadnerVillage. I got to the corner of LadnerTrunk a few minutes later and pressedthe pedestrian button.
While I waited for the light to change,I glanced to the east and saw a womanwaiting to cross Trunk on the other sideof Arthur Drive.
I thought nothing of it and when thewalk signal indicated it was my turn togo, I proceeded across the street. By thetime I made it to the curb, I could see acommotion just a few paces east of theother crosswalk.
Peeking around a car now stoppedin the intersection, I could see a figurelying on the ground. Not immediatelyrecognizing it was the woman I had spiedjust seconds earlier, I watched as peoplegot out of their vehicles and wonderedexactly what had taken place. As theywent to offer assistance, I soon realizedthe woman had been struck.
It was a sickening feeling to seesomeone lying prone on the asphalt, butit was also heartening to watch GoodSamaritans jump into action.
Although a pedestrian-vehicle colli-sion never favours the two-legged entry,I must admit that from my distance itdidn’t look like the outcome was tooserious. The car was making a turn froma complete stop, so I reasoned it simplycouldn’t have been going very quickly.
I carried on to the office and had oneof the reporters check with the policeabout the incident as well as a secondpedestrian accident at the same timea few blocks further east on Trunk at55B Street. What we were told aboutthe Arthur Drive collision — a possibleconcussion — seemed to jibe with myobservations.
The following afternoon, however, apress release arrived via email from thepolice department. My heart sank whenI read the subject line: Delta Police SeekWitness(es) to fatal pedestrian collision.Please be a misprint, I hoped. Tragically,it wasn’t.
I called the investigating officer andtold her what I could, but it all seemedso surreal. Here was a woman standingat the corner one moment, yet in the nextshe’s fighting a losing battle for her life.It’s so terribly sad. My heart goes out tothe victim and her family as well as tothe driver, who will also suffer greatly.
It took just the blink of an eye to irre-vocably change the lives of so many. Thatis tragic indeed.

Two weeks ago we found out theHST was dead and we would goback to GST and PST. Since thenthe airwaves have been filled withmore confusion and flawed eco-nomics.
While a simple single tax isbetter than two separate taxes, Iopposed it because it was poorlyexplained, made confusing and wewere not told the truth through theprocess.
Without going back to the begin-ning, the ads last spring asked if wewanted to be taxed at 12 per cent or10 per cent. It didn’t say: the lowertax might not come into effect untilthe budget got balanced, it did notsay it would be at least three yearsfrom now, it did not say it wouldbe a future government who would
have to do the deed and it did notsay the business tax break wouldhave to be reduced to get it. No, itsimply asked: do you want 10 percent or 12 per cent? Misleading atbest, or not truthful, I say.
Now Finance Minister KevinFalcon is complaining about havingto give back some $1.6 billion tothe feds. What did he do with thismoney? Some say we have yet toget it.
Falcon says it is a big problemto get the money to pay back. As Iobserved a while back, the Globe& Mail had analyzed the situationand found that B.C. was taxing usan additional $800 million eachyear with the HST.
So if you set aside the extrataxes being collected, starting in2010, and assume we repay nextyear, three years at $800 millionper year is more than the amount tobe repaid.
Businesses have been grumbling.Some say businesses will relocateto Ontario. Did that really happenback a few years ago when we hadthe PST?
One of the platforms of the HSTwas that businesses could now
reduce their prices as their costswere going down. So, who canrecall seeing price reductions sinceHST came in? (Don’t all stand atonce.)
Will it cost money to organize away to collect the PST? Yes. Willconsumers pay less? Yes, by at least$350 per year. Will businesses paymore? Yes as result of not getting aPST refund.
Why does it take almost twoyears to roll a tax back but onlymonths to impose a new one?That’s one riddle of this mess towhich there has been no goodresponse.
What might have been doneto make it more acceptable?Immediately reduce the B.C. por-tion of tax, say from five per centto four per cent so the HST wouldhave been 11 per cent.
That might have been seen as taxneutral. It could have been takenas a “peace offering” and mighthave made enough of a differenceto have British Columbians vote toretain the HST.
Did it happen? No. Why? Youneed to ask the Liberal MLAs whythey were stone deaf on this issue.
Rhetoric continues to flow asHST readies to make an exit

Letters to the Editor
Editor:I am writing to express
my concern regarding thecrosswalk at Ladner TrunkRoad and 55B Street.
On Tuesday morninga young lady was hit onher way to her first day ofschool. Apparently this isn’tthe first time a pedestrianhas been hit here.
I had a call too close forcomfort about six yearsago, which left me extreme-ly shaken for the day. Eversince, I’ve been concernedabout the lack of safety atthis particular location.
I spoke to a number ofpeople today, from neigh-bours to daycare staff topeople I ran into in townwhile I ran my errands, andevery single one had a storyof a close encounter at thespecified crosswalk.
One of my neighbour’sson was just about hit andanother neighbour was
almost struck.The way the sun rises
and sets along Trunk Roadcan be blinding for a driverdepending on the timeof day and time of year.Perhaps people aren’t asaware as they should behaving just driven througheither the lighted intersec-tion at 57th Street or LindenDrive and not expectinganother “slow down” area.
My housing complex islocated directly in front ofthis crosswalk with manychildren residing and play-ing in the area. As a motherof two, it’s frightening tothink of what could possi-bly happen.
My 11-year-old sonattends math tutoring atthe Ladner Baptist Churchacross the street and I haveforbid him to use this cross-walk, so he walks to thelighted intersection at 57thStreet to cross.
Ideally, this crosswalkshould be changed to alighted intersection versusthe current flashing yellowlights that are barely visible.
The safety of our chil-dren and residents alikeshould be priority, so rais-ing awareness and safety atthis location is imperative.If a child were killed at thiscrosswalk because no onetook the time to stop andraise awareness and ask forchange, it would devastateour lovely community.
I challenge anyone whoremotely has any of thesame concerns as myself,or has experienced a closeencounter of their own atthis intersection, to pleasestep forward and tell yourstory and join me in ask-ing the mayor and theCorporation of Delta tokindly make a change forthe safety of pedestrians.
Misty Fredericks
Step forward to ensurepedestrians stay safe
Further to a letter that appeared in theAug. 19 edition regarding an Arthur Drivedevelopment application, it should be
noted that councillors Ian Paton and AnnePeterson and Mayor Lois Jackson votedagainst the proposal.

Letters to the Editor
Editor:Last Friday morning
Premier Christy Clarkcame to Tsawwassen (unan-nounced to the public) toaddress the media with herannouncement of $8 millionfor school playgrounds.
I was tipped off to herarrival so showed up atSouth Park Elementary(behind South DeltaSecondary with the powerpole) with my MAPP shirton.
I informed all the mediawho I was and that I wasgoing to question Clarkabout her rationale of keep-ing children healthy and
active, when the power line,located right behind her,was dangerous to all thechildren in our community.
One of her media assis-tants came up to me andinformed me that Clarkwould speak with me pri-vately, after her announce-ment, so long as I did notjoin the media scrum afterher announcement.
Clark did speak with mefor about 10 minutes andsaid she would meet withme in her office to discussthe issue further — that theschoolyard, on a fixed time-line, was not the right placeto have a proper discussion.
Some media recorded ourconversation and a fractionof our conversation was onNews 1130 that day.
Another assistant tookdown my phone numbersand said they would set upthis meeting.
I indicated to her I havealso spoken with AdrianDix and he said he wouldcome on a walk of the linewith me. It will be interest-ing to see if Clark followsthrough on her word.
I’ll let you know if shedoes.

Editor:On Aug. 31, B.C. Hydro
Regeneration alerted localresidents through this paper
that B.C. Hydro wouldreplace our current electric-ity meters with new smartmeters.
This meter is so smart itwill be able to tell every-one who wishes to knowwhen you or I are at home,when we are away and forhow long, at what time ofday we do our cooking orlaundry, etc. We are toldthis new gadget will createimmediate savings for us.Really?
On July 28, a releasefrom the Office of theInformation & PrivacyCommissioner in Victoriastated that, following manycomplaints, an investigationwas being launched as towhether these meters are an
invasion of one’s privacy.Should not this whole thing,therefore, be put on holduntil we get the results ofthis investigation?
Our MLA recently wrotea column on this subject.One of her comments wasthat a resident should havea choice as to whether asmart meter is installed. Iagree.
In the meantime, perhapsanyone concerned couldinstall a notice on theircurrent meter asking B.C.Hydro to not install a newone, or better still, makecontact with Victoria andB.C. Hydro.
Time is running out onthis issue.

N. Delta complaints still hold true dozen years laterEditor:
Re: Mayor’s daughtercritical of ND, Aug. 12The article was based
on an interview with BarbJackson, the daughter ofMayor Lois Jackson, andcomments by the mayor,regarding the current physi-cal appearance of someneighbourhoods in NorthDelta.
For some reason thosecomments rang a bell withme, but I’ve been very busypreparing for my own can-didacy for mayor of Deltain the fall election, so Ididn’t have time to pursuewhy the bell rang until now.
During my 15 years onDelta council, I kept anextensive archive of news-paper articles and burieddeep in a file was anotherarticle taken from theOptimist in 2000 that wasbased on an interview withthe “new” mayor of Delta,Lois Jackson. The followingis a comparison of the twoarticles:
2000: New mayor wantsto halt “decay” in NorthDelta.
2011: Something hasto be done to clean up thewoefully shabby appear-ance of some areas of NorthDelta.
2000: This is an exampleof how communities decay.We have time to turn itaround but only if peoplehave the will to do it.
2011: Something needsto be done to encourageabsentee landlords to keepup their properties and notallow neighbourhoods torun down.
2000: Essentially elected
by voters in ... North Delta,Jackson accepts that one ofher major tasks is to turnthe community around.
2011: The mayor admit-ted that North Delta has itschallenges, predominantly
due to an aging housingstock and a lack of variety.She said that solutions arebeing explored.
Both of these articles canbe seen on my website atwww.onedelta.ca.
After 12 years in office,the mayor and her familyagree that little has beendone for North Delta neigh-bourhoods.
That’s one of many rea-sons I want to be the mayor
of Delta, to concentrate onDelta issues, and get thingsdone that are important tothe people of Delta.
I ask voters to rememberthat on Nov. 19.

Many people are unaware of the best way to recycle milk, cream and milk substitute containers.Bringing them to the Return-It Depot guarantees they’ll be turned into something useful likecardboard boxes and tissue paper. So why not change your good habits. Return your milk containerswith your refundable beverage containers. It’s easy. Quickly rinse them out and crush them.Remove any caps and bring them too, because they get recycled separately. There’s no refund onmilkempties because there’s no deposit when you buy, but you’ll be doing the right thing. So onyour next trip to Return-It, bring the udder ones too.
NOW YOU KNOW WHERE THEY SHOULD GO.

MFew days are forever etched in the
memories of a generation; Sept 11,2001 was one of those days. Peoplearound the globe can tell you wherethey were and what they were doingwhen they first heard the news of theplanes being flown into the WorldTrade Center, the Pentagon and ofFlight 93.
Tears were shed for loved ones, forthe heroes and for the senseless mur-der of nearly 3,000 people.
Whether one knew the victimspersonally or not, cheeks were wetand loved ones held close. It wasin our tears that our humanity wasshown and despite our differences,we knew we could relate and comfortone another.
We find comfort with people who
can relate to our struggles and ourpain. Many of us have lost a parent,spouse, child or friend.
Jesus the Christ also shared thatsame pain. In John 11:35 it says,“Jesus wept.” He wept for the deathof His friend Lazarus. So simple arethese words but how powerful in thatwe have a Saviour who isn’t devoidof emotion, but has gone through thesame sufferings we have as well.
When we lose a loved one, theworld may not stop, but our ownworld does, and it is in the presenceof those who have known our lossthat we find great comfort.
On a personal note of this 10thanniversary of 9/11, Mark, Claudiaand Robert, we will never forget.

Keeping brown bag lunches healthy
Whether you havekids who havejust headed back
to school or you are tiredof eating out at the office,brown bagging it is notonly cost-effective, it isalso a way to control yourcalories, eat healthier andtake charge of what youand your kids eat during thenoon hour.
When doing so, keepthese four tips in mind:
• Include more wholefoods and less processedfoods. Choose lunch itemsthat are high in fibreand nutrients, and low insodium and sugar. Take, forexample, deli meats. Mostdeli meats are pumped fullof sodium and nitrates.While sodium nitrite doeshelp prevent the growthof Clostridium botulinum,
which can cause botulismin humans, it is also usedalone or in conjunction asa colour fixative in curedmeat and poultry products(bologna, hot dogs, bacon).During the cooking pro-cess, nitrites combine withamines naturally presentin meat to form carcino-genic compounds. It is alsosuspected that nitrites cancombine with amines in thehuman stomach to form N-nitroso compounds. Thesecompounds are knowncarcinogens and have beenassociated with cancer ofthe oral cavity, urinary blad-der, esophagus, stomachand brain.
Opt instead for nitrate-free deli meats (ask yourdeli counter person topoint out which brandsare nitrate-free and low insodium), or better yet, roasta whole chicken or roastbeef on Sunday and use thatmeat throughout the weekfor sandwiches, wraps andto toss into salads.
• Be creative. Your kidswill appreciate it if you
think outside the brown-bag for their lunches, andif you’re packing for your-self, so will you. I mean,do you really want anotherboring old sandwich tolook forward to at lunch?Instead, why don’t you trya fruit and cheese plate,or a pita pocket stuffedwith falafel balls and somehummus? Or, how aboutusing last night’s pasta andpack a cold pasta saladwith chopped chicken.Then there’s always beanand cheese tortillas, sushi,homemade soup (or trya low-sodium brand suchas “Amy’s”, “Imagine” or“Wolfgang Puck”), or myfavourite quick lunch mealof almond butter, toppedwith no-sugar added jam onSquirrelly bread with someraisins sprinkled on top.
• Plan ahead. Use Sundayto plan your meals for theweek and shop and buy allthe groceries that you needso that you have everythingon hand when you needthem. I plan all our lunchesand dinners on the weekend
and prepare as much as Ican to give me a head startfor the week. For instance,plan to make a stir-fry onMonday night and then usethe leftovers in a wrap thenext day. Or, make a largesalad that will carry you forthe week and just add dif-ferent toppings and dress-ings throughout the week.
• Don’t actually usea brown bag. Invest in alunch box with insulationand with different com-partments so that foodsand beverages can be keptseparately. Also, purchasesome small plastic contain-ers (avoiding containerswith the numbers three orseven on the bottom. Thesehave been proven to leachchemicals into our foods— yuck!), or glass contain-ers to store each item anda freezer pack to keep thecold foods cold. This willkeep your foods both freshand safe for lunchtime con-sumption.
Five-Day Sample Menu ofLunches
*All meals are less than
500 caloriesMonday
Three ounces thinlysliced low-sodium nitrate-free turkey breast on threeWasa High-Fibre breads,a large carrot stick and a1/2 red bell pepper slicedand dipped in a 1/4 cup ofhummus. 3/4 cup of 0% fatvanilla Greek yogurt fordessert.
TuesdayTuna salad sandwich:

If you prefer lowercalories and no carbs wrapthe tuna in butter lettuceinstead of a wrap.
WednesdayTwo cups lentil soup
(such as “Imagine” or“Amy’s” brand), carrot andcelery sticks and an appledipped in 1 tbsp. of almondbutter for dessert.
ThursdayBaked potato with cot-
tage cheese and chivesand a side spinach salad.Chocolate Coconut “Lara”bar for dessert.
FridayPizza roll-ups: take
one-8-inch whole wheattortilla shell, spread withtwo tbsp low sodium pizzasauce, 12 spinach leavesand three tbsp partly skinmozza cheese (note: youcan also add veggies too).Roll and cut tortilla intopieces. Lettuce tossed inlow calorie Caesar dress-ing and instead of croutons(which are filled withfat and preservatives)try roasted chickpeas orsalad crunchies (a mixednut blend you can buy atThrifty Foods).

The Age Smart System of products con-tains more sophisticated ingredients tofight the three main causes of skin aging:
Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) orFree radicals are generally very smallmolecules and highly reactive due to thepresence of unpaired electrons. Duringtimes of stress, ROS levels can increasedramatically, causing significant damageto cell structures.This is known as oxida-tive stress, which is the major cause of de-generative disorders including aging anddisease. Dermalogica utilizes powerfulantioxidants like white tea, stable VitaminC, Vitamin E and Soy Proteins to fight off(ROS) free radical damage.
Matrix degrading metalloproteinaseEnzymes (MMP’s) are enzymes thatwhen activated, control matrix degrada-tion in the dermis. Each MMP is spe-cific for the degradation of a particularprotein such as collagen, elastin andhyaluronic acid.The latest ingredienttechnology that Dermalogica utilizes tofight off MMP’S are Peptides, Licorice, soyproteins, Stabilized Vitamin C, White teaand Yeast Extract.
Advanced Glycation End-Products(AGEs) Collagen and elastin proteinsare highly susceptible to an internalreaction within the body called glyca-
tion.The same glucose thatprovides energy for our cellscan react with proteins (suchas collagen), resulting inthe formation of (AGEs) and(ROS) which contribute tocross-linking of protein fiberscausing the loss of elasticityand changes in the dermisassociated with the agingprocess.
The selection of DERMALOGICA AGESMART PRODUCTS available at ATLAN-TIS DAY SPA
Is impressive starting with Skin Resur-facing Cleanser a dual action exfoliatingcleanser that smoothes, retextures anddelivers ultra clean skin.The AntioxidantHydramist offers a refreshing antioxi-dant shield with flash firming propertiesto quench free radicals and intensely hy-drate the skin. Dynamic Skin Recoverywith SPF 30 delivers absolute hydrationand defends against the contributingfactors of aging. Multi Vitamin Therma-foliant Is both a physical and chemicalexfoliant that polishes off dulling skinwhile the heating action allows betterpenetration of ingredients.The MultiVi-tamin Power Recovery Mask con-tains Vitamins, A,C,E,B5 and licorice toimprove elasticity and collagen synthesis
while repairing damage.
MAP-15 regenerator contains 10%stabilized Vitamin C and 5% other power-ful antioxidants. It is recommended byPeople Magazine because its powerfulantioxidants and hyaluronic acid keepskin moisturized. Age reversal Eye Com-plex Smoothes and firms, reduces puffi-ness, lightens dark circles and hydrates.

Death & Dying
Four local professionalswill get together in Ladnerlater this month for a“Death Matters Seminar.”
• Delta Funeral Homemanager Doug Gaetz willdiscuss funeral planning
• Financial advisorEleanor Calderwood willdiscuss investments
• Chartered accountantGail Thompson will discusstaxes
• Lawyer Murray Lottwill discuss wills andestates
“I try to take the fear andmystery out of simple estateplanning,” says Lott, whois the owner of the DeltaLaw Office and a certifiedsenior advisor. “More thantwo-thirds of Canadiansdon’t have a will. I’d like tosee that change. I think it’simportant that most peoplehave a will and it’s notsomething they should beterrified of.
“You know the old say-ing, where there’s a willthere’s a way? Where there’sno will, there’s no way tocontrol the passing of yourassets to the people youwant to have them.”
Lott says he tries to illus-trate some issues by ref-erencing interesting casesinvolving celebrities, suchas Anna Nicole Smith andHoward Hughes.
He adds that anotherexample is the famous caseof musician Jimi Hendrix,who died when he was 27and left behind a consider-able fortune and no will.Lott notes the matter wentinto litigation and there aresome lessons to be learnedfrom it.
Another interesting situ-ation involves a successfullawyer with a “mischievousnature” who left his inter-est in breweries and liquor
companies to a group ofprohibitionists and his inter-est in gambling casinos toa church, just to see whatwould happen.
He says there are plansto put on these seminarson a regular basis, alternat-ing between Ladner andTsawwassen, as long asthere’s enough interest.
He notes about 100people turned up at the lastseminar in Tsawwassenand there is room for 100attendees at the upcomingevent.
“It’ll fill up quickly.Once it does, we have pro-visions for having anotherone in Tsawwassen.”
The seminar is scheduledfor Thursday, Sept. 29, from7 to 9 p.m., at the McKeeSeniors’ Recreation Centre,5155-47th Ave., Ladner.
Call Natalie at 604-946-2199 to reserve a seat.

Death & Dying
There is no greaterjolt than the end of life.Whether expected or unex-pected, death stuns us.
In our culture, it seemseasiest to simply avoid
death. Compared to othercultures, our dealings withdeath are largely impersonaland distant. We normallydon’t touch the dead, mournin public or talk much aboutour feelings.
However, there are thosethat deal with death andsuffering on daily basis.
Our local commu-nity leaders of faith cannotafford the luxury of turningtheir sights away from theend of life. For in their pathare real and hurting peoplethat consist of both thedying and those left behind.Ministers of all faiths inDelta do an amazing jobof shepherding our peoplethrough extreme pain.
My own personal experi-ence with death reached aclimax in 2002 when mywife Jodee succumbed to atwo-year battle with breastcancer. I remember thosedays well. My three youngchildren hunkered downwith me in a hospice. Ouronly voice of hope was alocal minister that stayed byour side day after day.
And after Jodee went toheaven, another memberof the faith communityemerged to help counsel ourfamily through what wouldbe a substantial grievingprocess.
I am not only thankfulfor the care I’ve receivedfrom our local ministersbut I am also privileged toprovide that care. Those
like me are motivated bythe deep suffering causedby death and dying. I wanthurting people to find hopein the Gospel of JesusChrist that promises eternallife for those that put theretrust in Jesus.
He exclaimed in John8: “If anyone keeps Myword, he will never taste ofdeath.” And then in orderto undergird His authorityto make such a claim, Hesaid, “Truly, Truly, I sayto you, before Abrahamwas born I am.” Jesus cankeep us from ever tastingdeath (even for a moment)and can give us eternal lifebecause He is the ForeverKing - The “I AM.”
The ministers and leaderswithin our faith communityare hard-working men andwomen that are committedto tending to the needs ofthose who are suffering.Hospital visits, memorialservices, counselling andafter-death care are justsome of the ways we areinvolved.
I am honoured to be acolleague of these labor-ers who give sacrificiallyof themselves, behind thescenes, where no one cansee. When the jolting painof death hits, our ministersare there to provide a steadyand caring hand.
Paul Johnson is thelead pastor at SouthDelta Baptist Church inTsawwassen.

Death & Dying
A province-wide pollconducted by Mustel Groupfor the Society of NotariesPublic of B.C. found thatonly 51 per cent of BritishColumbians aged 18+ havea current and legal will.
The Mustel Group omni-bus telephone poll wasconducted in last Novemberwith 502 adults in B.C. Itfound that 15 per cent ofpeople in the 18-to-34-agerange, 49 per cent between35 and 54, and 80 per centof individuals 55+ have awill in place.
A properly executedwill can create certainty ofintentions for the distribu-tion of assets and personaleffects, the guardianship ofminor children and pets, theresponsibility for carryingout your wishes (an execu-tor), and other vital detailssuch as funeral arrange-ments.
“Dying without a willcan create additional grief
for heirs,” says WayneBraid, chief executive offi-cer of the B.C. Notaries.
“When a person dieswithout a will, any oneof the heirs may apply tothe court to administer theestate. If the other heirs donot agree with this appoint-ment — or if no one stepsup — by law the office ofthe B.C. Public Guardianand Trustee must managethe estate and charge a feefor the work. Some peopleface years of financialexpense and time to unravela loved one’s finances. Tothose left behind to handlethe paperwork, a will ispriceless.”
A good way to start theprocess is to identify alegal professional in yourcommunity — a notary ora lawyer — that you trustand that can assist you toprepare a will to serve yourneeds.
“Most people are relieved
after they make a will andare surprised at how easythe process is,” says Braid.“Will planning and therelated discussions amongloved ones can open impor-tant channels of communi-cation, bring people closerand create more certaintyand peace of mind for all.”
The Society of NotariesPublic of B.C. representsmore than 320 highlytrained notary profession-als. Most have locallyowned and operated officesand all provide personalassistance to clients aroundthe province.
Individuals, families, andbusinesses seek the servicesof B.C. notaries for a widerange of non-contentiouslegal matters, includingresidential and commercialreal estate transfers, mort-gage refinancings, wills andestate planning, powers ofattorney and other impor-tant documents.

Cops and KidsPartner to Fight CancerBy Andrea Debruin
RCMP Constable Christine Daydidn’t always just want to be a po-lice officer, as she puts it,“I actuallywanted to be one of the Charlie’sAngels…but they weren’t hiring.”And good thing they weren’t, be-cause Christine is now one of 24 rid-ers participating in the Cops for Can-cer Tour de Valley. She rides for thehonorary Junior Team, her motherwho survived breast cancer 10 yearsago and her four sisters who, statisti-cally speaking, could develop cancerin their lifetime.
In preparation for Tour, Christinemanned a Pole-Sit in Mission rais-ing $7,000 and visited Camp Good-times, a unique camp that provideskids with cancer and their families anunforgettable summer experience.Christine’s highlight from Camp was,“the overwhelmingly positive atti-tude of the kids and how they werehaving such a good time.”After hervisit, Christine was inspired by thesubstantial increase to Camp Good-times’ operating budget, which waslargely due to the fundraising effortsof Cops for Cancer. “This impactedme as to how much of an effect wecan have on these kids in providing agreat experience for them.”
Proceeds from Tour not only go
to world-renowned programs likeCamp Goodtimes, but also to pediat-ric cancer research projects and othercaring support programs for childrenwith cancer and their families.
Tour de Valley dates are Septem-ber 22nd – 30th 2011. The journeyentails 800km of vigorous cyclingbetween Tsawwassen and Boston
Bar, BC. We invite you to be a partof the Tour and support the rid-ers as they cycle through your area.Visit www.copsforcancerbc.ca formore information and join the fight!

Delta SportsMaking a splashSun Devils face
tough test tonight
The South Delta SunDevils will get to experiencea Lower Mainland versionof Friday Night Lights whenthey continue their pre-season high school footballschedule today in the RoyalCity.
The Sun Devils visit theNew West Hyacks wherethey not only expect a sterntest from the higher tiered“AAA” squad but be playingin somewhat of a hostile ata renovated Mercer Stadiumon what should be a gloriouslate summer evening.
“We’ve told the kids theyneed to be prepared forit,” said South Delta headcoach Ray Moon. “This isa big deal being their homeopener and I would be sur-prised to see a huge crowdout for the game with plenty
of name calling coming ourway. It’s as close to a FridayNight Lights experience aswe are going to get.”
It will also be a stark con-trast to last week’s tranquilsetting in Kamloops, of allplaces, where the Devilskicked off the 2011 seasonwith a 30-0 victory overthe Duchess Park Condors.The game capped a two-daymini-camp with the PrinceGeorge school that arrivedin the Interior city with just18 players.
“They had seven or eightkids who couldn’t committo the trip so they endedup with a very thin squadand the game was calledafter three quarters,” addedMoon. “We at least got anopportunity to get into moreof a rhythm on offence. Nowwe’re going to get a lot bet-ter idea of what being reallychallenged is.”

Nash Youth Hoop League finds new homePopular basketball program set to tip-off later this month with new South Delta rec centre gym among its venues
The South Delta BasketballAssociation tips-off its 14th sea-son this month with a new home.
The SDBA, which operates theimmensely popular Steve NashYouth Basketball League, willbe running some of its programsout of the new gym at the SouthDelta recreation centre. The venueis the former home of the DeltaGymnastics Society prior to itsmove to Ladner, earlier this year.The gym agreement is part ofa new partnership between theSDBA and the Corporation ofDelta.
“Due to the enormous need forindoor space required for manysports in South Delta, we willonly be running a few of our agegroups out of the new gym,” saidSDBA president Tim Cowley.“We are hoping that the popular-ity and philosophy of our programwill allow us to grow with thenew facility next year and years
beyond.“With the size of our program
we will always require localschools (to operate) but with thesuccess of our program, there aremore students playing basketballwhich makes gyms harder toaccess as well. We would like toexpand our program and not haveto cut off registration but we arelimited due to gym space in SouthDelta.”
The Steve Nash YouthBasketball League is designatedfor boys and girls in Grades 2-12.The younger age level are almostnear capacity with programs notscheduled to start until Sept 25.Anyone interested in still par-ticipating this season should visitwww.southdeltabasketball.org.The typical cost for the Septemberto March season is $210 whichincludes includes a jersey andbasketball to keep for all theelementary age children.
“Basketball is a tremendousway to get the kids some exer-cise,” continued Cowley. “Wereally focus on the fundamentals,playing in a teamenvironment andhaving fun.
“Many playersand parents preferthe ‘weather’ aswell compared towinter outdoorsports such as soc-cer and the fact thatthere is no travel,all games are playedin South Delta.”
The associationis thrilled to haveMatthew McKaycome onboard theexecutive to serveas director ofcoaching.
McKay comesfrom North Delta second-
ary school and coaches withBasketball B.C. He is consideredone of the great up-and-comingmentors in the province.
McKay is nowteaching at SouthDelta secondarywhere he will alsobe taking on acoaching role withthe basketball pro-gram.
“We havestruggled to findsomeone qualifiedfor this role andMatthew will addtremendous value toour newer coachesand give them theskills and confi-dence to coach inour leagues,” addedCowley.
The South DeltaSteve Nash League has produced
some impressive talent over theyears with many going on to playat the high school level for SouthDelta and Delta. Among them isDSS standout Lucas Goosen whois considered one of the top play-ers in the province.
He is hoping to lead the Pacersback to the provincial “AAA”tournament for the second timein three years, while competingin the always tough Fraser Valleyconference.
Although the philosophy ofthe SDBA Steve Nash program is‘house’ league, it does have U13rep teams that play other LowerMainland clubs out of the LangleyEvents Centre from November toMarch.
The SDBA a non-profit organi-zation run by local people want-ing to be involved in youth athlet-ics. It is affiliated with BasketballBC which is the governing bodyfor the sport in the province.

Whitecaps expandedresidency programincludes Delta pair
Two Delta players are part of the expanded VancouverWhitecaps Residency Program which begins play in theUnited States Development Academy (USSDA) later thismonth.
Last week, 80 of the top youth players from acrossB.C. and Canada arrived in Vancouver to join one of themost integrated soccer development programs in NorthAmerica. Aspiring players can now enter the WhitecapsFC club system full-time as early as age 11, and be nur-tured in an age appropriate learning environment, withgradual steps that will help them attain a successful pro-fessional and national team career.
Earning spots in the program are Patrick Izett (1997)and Noah DaSilva (1999). Both grew up in the NorthDelta Soccer system and played last season with the U14Delta Selects.
“We look forward to welcoming some of the most tal-ented young players from across the country to Vancouverto participate in the Whitecaps FC Residency program,”said Bob Lenarduzzi, Whitecaps FC president. “This pro-gram, in its fourth year, will provide an excellent trainingground for ouraspiring players totrain and competeat a level whichwill ensure theircontinued growth.”
As part ofthe expansion,Whitecaps FChave become thefirst and onlyCanadian club tojoin the USSDA– America’s pre-mier youth acad-emy system – andwill field a teamin both the U15/16and U17/18leagues.
The WhitecapsFC Residency pro-gram begins withthe U14 Pre-Academy group,featuring play-ers U13 to U15separated into twosquads; a senior and junior team for a total player poolof 36. Players train in the evenings and attend their localschools. Exhibition matches are scheduled within thePacific Northwest region against elite club teams, MLSacademies, and other USSDA Pre-Academy teams.
This past weekend, the senior and junior U14 Pre-Academy teams travelled across the border to play aseries of matches at Starfire Sports Complex in Tukwila,WA.
From the U14 group, players graduate into the U16and U18 program and play matches in their respectiveUSSDA leagues. These teams feature 18 to 20 players persquad that train and attend Burnaby Central secondaryschool as part of a holistic development program.
Residency players from outside of the catchment areaare housed with local billet families in Burnaby,who offera safe, supportive environment that provides stability forthe player, allowing them to focus their efforts on aca-demic and athletic achievement
The U16 Residency group alone features nine playersfrom Alberta, two from Manitoba and one from Ontario.
The USSDA season kicks off Sept. 17, as WhitecapsFC open against Real Salt Lake-Arizona Academy atStarfire Sports Complex in Tukwila.
Successful Residency graduates enter the first-teamdevelopment environment that includes training withthe Major League Soccer (MLS) squad and competitiveopportunities in both United Soccer Leagues PremierDevelopment League and MLS Reserve League games.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections September 11 - 17, 2011Aries March 21 - April 19: Your workload remainsheavy, yet you feel sluggish, perhaps want to quit. Onecure for this is to focus your efforts on home-security-property or child-related chores; the other cure is tosleep more. By next week you’ll perk up – and by theweek following you’ll be chasing an attractive personwith romantic intent, or a career opportunity, with acreative flair. Both these (especially the latter) will gobetter if you tackle your chores now. Luck brings you“quiet support” Sunday/Monday. Your energy risesTuesday to Thursday noon – tackle things! Suddenattraction late week!Taurus April 20-May 20: You ride a winningstreak – especially in romance, adventure, creativity,speculation, joys from children, teaching skills. Thesebring lots of action and “talk” for the next two weeks.But a work wave is coming; get ready to ride it ratherthan delay and drown in it. It starts quietly, mildlyThursday, will intensify about a week later. Just start– you’ll do well. Intellectual, legal, educational, traveland publishing matters “unfreeze” now, will marchstraight forward to April. So begin projects in thesezones. If you plan to move this month, try to do sobefore the 18th.Gemini May 21-June 20: The accent lies onhome, family, real estate, gardening, nutrition,stomach, soul, security, retirement, ending andbeginning situations/relationships. Civil servants,institutional workers, agents and therapists willhelp you. Plant seeds. This is not a favourable timefor romance, gambling, adventure; it’s splendidfor retreat, rest, finding a spa or hideaway. Beambitious Sunday/Monday – you could be grantedaccess to a confidential “source,” or find a goodinvestment, especially something that needs work.Your optimism rises Tuesday/Wednesday. Retreat,rest Thursday onward.
Cancer June 21-July 22: You’re busy, your giftof gab grows, and you’re restless, ready to travel– short distances. All this aids your social life. Becurious about people and what they’re “into.” Yourlove life, in “stasis” since last April, moves forwardnow to next April, so prepare for a significant sevenmonths. If you’re flexible, willing, true love mightcome knocking! (Flexible, because the other personis stubborn.) Sunday/Monday are gentle, wise,loving. A Virgo might “point to love” – or to a creativeopening. Be ambitious midweek (Wednesday best).Joy, hope, friends visit Thursday onward!Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Chase money, buy/sell, askfor a raise, cultivate new clients. Collect, and pay bills.This is your best money month in a very lucky careeryear (to June 2012). Money and employment combinevery well this week. A new money project might enter(or a constant, casual urge to shop). Communicationsbecome affectionate, easy Thursday to early October.(A short trip will please you.) Mysteries Sunday/Monday– research could lead to a financial opportunity. Yoursexual urges could find a willing partner. Wisdom,gentle love, legal matters arise midweek. Ambition,Thursday onward!Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: You’ve been “unable”to communicate with a loved one or a romanticprospect over the spring/summer. Now to April, thelines are open. Connect now, confidently, as yourcharisma, energy and clout are high. You’ll tend toget what you want. Your income situation improvesThursday into late October. Relationships ruleSunday/Monday, bringing excitement, opportunity,new faces – and some competition or opposition. Bediplomatic. Deep stuff comes Tuesday to Thursdaynoon – large finances, sexual urges, lifestylechanges and commitments. You succeed with love,intellect Thursday onward.
Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Step softly. This is yourlast week of suffering your bosses’ or authorities’impatience and temperament. Your energy andcharisma remain low, so keep a low profile, rest,nap, and plan. Be charitable, deal with governmental,spiritual concerns. Your old charm begins to quietlyreturn Wednesday night onward, and by next weekfriends will gather around – you’re going to attractattention and get what you want – but not this week.(That’s not entirely correct – you can get what youwant in finances, research, intimacy and lifestylecommitment Thursday p.m. to Saturday.)Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Optimism reigns, wishescome true – seek joy, friends, new horizons. Lovecould be develop – so might a lucrative partnershipor opportunity. All good now comes from mingling,nothing from not. Friendship and secrecy, or flirtationand intimacy, begin to blend together, especiallyThursday into next week. Romance reaches a peakSunday/Monday – major love is possible! Creativeand risk-taking (speculative) urges surge also: seizeluck! Settle into chores midweek. Thursday noon toSaturday brings exciting meetings, partnerships,opposition and opportunity. Be diplomatic, eager.Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Be ambitious,especially Thursday afternoon to Saturday, whenemployment factors flow with luck. Only possibledisruption to work might be a sudden strong,friendly/romantic attraction, Friday/Saturday.Earlier, Sunday/Monday bring ambition versuswithdrawal urges to a head: one has to win. (Or,you can skirt the issue by sleeping, cleaning house,or laying foundations for an ambitious push later.)Romance, creative surges and speculative urgesvisit you Tuesday to midday Thursday. But it’s notthe right time yet. Soon! Your social life improvesThursday into October.
Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The accent continueson higher learning, far travel, legal matters, culturalrituals, publishing, love, and the “bigger picture.”Intense relationship reactions, par for the course sinceearly August, continue – but this is their last week. Soif it’s love, enjoy – if it’s anger, forbear for one moreweek. Wednesday night starts three weeks of favourand affection from higher-ups, so start preparingyour proposals, requests. Sunday/Monday are busy,talkative – read a paper. Rest, improve foundationsmidweek. Thursday noon to Saturday – romance,speculation, creative genius!Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Mysteries continue.Youractions lead to consequences, commitments. Don’tlet this frighten you – almost everything is good here,including the consequences. (Especially Wednesdayp.m. to Saturday, when a real estate purchase, homerenovations, finding a new regimen for the kids,changing your lifestyle or nutrition program, gettinga health diagnosis, these and similar matters canimprove your life considerably.) Earlier, Sunday/Monday are great for purchases – but beware highprices. Midweek’s filled with errands, talk, casualacquaintances – and luck! Soon, new horizons loom!Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Exciting meetings,prospects, new horizons, relationships, opportunitiesand opposition – these continue. The money side ofthese opportunities enters Thursday into late October.This isn’t quick or “salary” money, it’s more that you’lldeal with large sums, or with people who own them– power players. In personal terms, an “open attraction”might become intimate. Be diplomatic with everyone,yet eager to join.Your energy and charisma soar Sunday/Monday. A momentous decision might be made. Chasemoney midweek. Buy, Wednesday afternoon. Travel,communicate Thursday noon onward.
