Delta’s animal shelter has a newprocess for uniting its feline resi-dents with prospective owners andso far it’s been a hit.
Meet Your Match, originallyintroduced by the AmericanSPCA and adopted by manyshelters south of the border, hasbeen put into practice at the DeltaCommunity Animal Shelter, thefirst to use the program in theLower Mainland.
Meet Your Match evaluates ananimal’s behaviour, temperamentand interests and matches it with apotential adopter’s preferences.
Shelter manager Sarah Loweexplained that when a cat comesinto the shelter, staff members
spend the first three days assess-ing its personality. After that, eachfeline is put through a temperanceexam where the animals are testedto see how they react to certainsituations — like a gentle tugon the tail — thatassesses their levelof interest in play,exploring, “talking”and being the centreof attention.
“Their reactionshelp us score them,” Lowe said.
After being assessed, each catis assigned one of nine colours,which represents the animal’spersonality, or “feline-ality” as itis called in the Meet Your Matchprogram.
When interested adopters visitthe shelter, they’re asked to fill
out a new one-page question-naire. (The shelter previouslyused a five-page application thathad people waiting for days tofind out if they were approvedto adopt a cat.) Based on their
answers aboutwhat they’re look-ing for in a newfeline companion,the would-be petowners are alsoassigned a colour
and then let loose to peruse theshelter’s residents.
Lowe said this new systemworks well because it can helpprevent an owner looking for amellow kitty that likes to cuddlefrom taking home a cute, yet ener-getic independent cat that wantsto explore.
She said the program has beenshown to reduce the instanceof euthanasia by 50 per cent— in shelters that employ thatpractice; the Delta CommunityAnimal Shelter is a no-kill shelter— as well as the number of catsreturned after adoption.
Lowe said she is also hopingit will help reduce the shelter’scat population, which stands ataround 50.
Currently, Meet Your Match isonly used for cats that are olderthan nine months. Lowe said thereis a version of the program fordogs as well, but it’s not beingused yet in Delta.

“The tough part is beingpatient.”
That’s the word from MayorLois Jackson as Delta policecontinue their investigation intothe murder of 15-year-old LauraSzendrei of North Delta.
Police have received morethan 150 tips so far, depart-ment spokesperson Sgt. SharleneBrooks said at a media brief-ing Thursday. Investigation, shesaid, “takes time. We need to bemethodical, thorough.”

Currently, it’s a dense for-est with trails. Jackson saidmunicipal staff would alsobe “working on a prioritybasis” with other woodedareas within the community.
She’s asked Coun. RobertCampbell, the chairpersonof Delta’s parks, recreationand culture commission, to
review parks in both NorthDelta and South Delta asresidents in South Deltahave also been asking forthis since Saturday’s mur-der.
The tension was palpablein North Delta earlier thisweek as dozens of policeofficers searched backyards
and canvassed residents fortips related to the killing.
This was particularlythe case on Tuesday, whenstudents returned to classes.They were off schoolMonday on account of adistrict-wide professionaldevelopment day for teach-ers.
Police officers were atlocal schools this weekto help students feel safe,
Jackson noted. She said thepolice and school staff aretrying to “ease the childrenback into a normal routineand a normal life.
“They’re trying to nor-malize the children,” shesaid.
The police department’svictims services sectionbrought a specially trained“trauma dog” to Burnsviewon Monday. It was there
for “cathartic petting” andto provide “non-judgmen-tal empathy,” said KimGramlich.
As the week wore on,police pared back the no-gozone surrounding the park,and Gray Elementary andSands Secondary schools,to the park itself.
By Wednesday after-noon young children werehappily squealing away as
they played on playgroundequipment there, seem-ingly oblivious to the yel-low police tape just a fewstrides away.
Still, the stacks of flow-ers, balloons and cards con-tinue to grow at curbsidemakeshift memorials alongeither street bounding thepark, and the atmospherearound them remains thickwith sadness.
MURDER from page 1
Delegates at thisweek’s Union of B.C.Municipalities conventionvoted by a large marginagainst extending term lim-its for municipal councilsfrom three to four years.
Thursday’s vote wasby written ballot, endinga heated debate on whatturned out to be a conten-tious issue at the four-dayconvention in Whistler.
Delta Mayor LoisJackson, in favour ofextending the term, told theOptimist the motion wasclearly a divisive one, high-lighted by a standing voteon Wednesday becomingchaotic. An accurate countwas impossible, promptingthe need for a paper ballot.
Many of the smaller andrural communities wereopposed while the urbancommunities had the oppo-site view.
“There is a very greatdifference here. The smalltowns and villages all overBritish Columbia, who havea mayor and council, andyou add them all up, andcompare them to the LowerMainland, they’re much inthe majority here (at theUBCM),” said Jackson.
The idea of extending
terms from three to fouryears has been brought upseveral times at the UBCMover the past decade, onlyto be defeated or not admit-ted for debate.
The proposal this timearound came from a seriesof recommendations in areport released this summerby a joint provincial gov-ernment/UBCM task force.The recommendations alsorequire approval from theprovince.
The term changes wouldhave been in effect for thefall 2011 municipal elec-tions.
The task force reportnotes advocates of increas-ing term length say itprovides cost savings byreducing the number ofelections and provides moretime for new councillors tolearn and conduct the dutiesof office. Opponents arguelonger terms are a barrier toparticipation and may endup leading to more by-elec-tions.
The heated debate at theUBCM was just anotherexample of the dividebetween suburban and ruralcommunities, said Jackson.
Coun. Scott Hamilton,who also attended the con-vention, said he’s concernedabout dysfunction at theUBCM.
“We went through all thedebating on that one resolu-tion about four-year termsand it got so botched at theexecutive level in terms ofhow they were dealing withthe vote that it actually hadto come down to a ballot,”said Hamilton.
Saying he hasn’t seena fractious divide in theorganization, Terrace MayorDave Pernarowski saidextending term limits wasa huge issue, one that hewanted to hear the variousviewpoints.
“Even amongst our coun-cil in Terrace there’s a num-ber of councillors who areagainst moving to a four-year term and some, includ-ing myself, who wouldconsider a four-year termbeneficial for a number ofdifferent reasons.
Delta police were calledto Deltaport container ter-minal Tuesday after severalstolen vehicles were discov-
ered lodged in a container.Officers were dispatched
to assist the CanadianBorder Services Agencyafter two stolen vehicleswere discovered. A thirdvehicle was also found
but investigators were notimmediately able to con-firm if it is also stolen.
Rev. Elizabeth Northcott, seen here with Eeyore at the Hayward farm, will lead a Blessing of theAnimals service at All Saints Anglican Church in Ladner tomorrow at 2 p.m. that is open to thepublic. All Saints has been holding this service for several years and do so each year on a Sundayafternoon closest to St. Francis of Assissi Day (Oct. 4). St. Francis is the patron saint of animals.

Arriving guests got first-class treatment as volun-teers from Paris, Venice,Shanghai, Mumbai andNew York welcomed themaboard. The Around theWorld theme encouragedguests to taste culinary fla-vours from the five featuredcities in an elegant cocktailreception and dinner.
The internationaltransformation of AlphaAviation’s 15,000-square-foot facility gave a spectac-ular feeling of globetrottingas guests walked about theShanghai lounge viewingover 95 silent auction itemsas well as an exciting liveauction by auctioneer, andDelta councillor-elect, IanPaton.
Presenting sponsorEnvision Financial’s BarryChristianson spoke of theircommitment and supportfor community organiza-tions like the Delta Hospital
Foundation. This marksthe first of two years thatEnvision Financial will besupporting the gala as thepresenting sponsor.
Local actor JacksonDavies was master of cere-monies, entertaining every-one with his unique brandof humour.
He noted Delta as anextremely caring com-munity that recognizes the
importance of such causesas the hospital.
Foundation executivedirector Teresa Cooper saidsince the gala an anony-mous donor has generouslyoffered to top up the moniesraised to a total of $250,000from the night’s proceeds ofover $220,000.
The excitement of theevening hit its highestaltitude with the presenta-
tion of the cheque to DeltaHospital Foundation chairLois Wilkinson by ecstaticgala chair Sarah Toigo.
“I am very pleasedwith the outcome of theevening,” said Toigo. “Wereached our goal. Delta isa very lucky community tohave such dedicated vol-unteers and residents whomake these events so suc-cessful.”

Delta council recentlyapproved another expendi-ture connected to the newsecondary suites bylaw.
Two hybrid SUV vehi-cles will be purchased forinspectors to conduct suiteinspections throughoutDelta. The vehicles willcost $77,000.
A staff report to councilnotes another implica-tion of the enforcementprogram is an increase intemporary staffing, includ-ing one clerk, one bylawinspector and one buildingcode inspector.
Staff anticipates theenforcement program willlast for more than threeyears.
The engineering depart-ment recommended pur-chasing two vehicles forthe inspection programrather than leasing themfor an extended period.
This summer, councilapproved the secondarysuites bylaw that legal-izes the living units, butthey must abide by certainbuilding code require-ments as well as pay formunicipal servicing.
The inspectors will lookto ensure the rules arebeing followed, includinga maximum of one suitein a single-family homeand that the floor areaof a suite being no morethan 40 per cent of theoverall dwelling, and notgreater and 969-square-feet. One additional on-site(driveway) parking spot isrequired under the bylaw.
To encourage propertyowners to legalize theirsuites, Delta’s programwill waive the first twobuilding inspections (firstinspection and re-inspec-tion of an existing second-ary suite) until Jan. 31,2012. This would representa savings of approximately$250 for property owners.
After Dec. 31, 2010, a$200 daily fine will comeinto effect for propertyowners who have morethan one secondary suitein a single family dwell-ing, have a secondary suitethat does not comply withthe building code or haveinsufficient off-street park-ing.
According to staffreport, there are 2,447known secondary suites inDelta.

Delta is going to spendalmost $200,000 moreannually on lifeguards ataquatic centres.
Council recentlyendorsed a recommendationby the parks and recreationdepartment to increase thelifeguard budget followingan audit this year by theLifesaving Society.
Parks and recreationdirector Ken Kuntz saidthe last major audit wasperformed eight years ago,although several unan-nounced spot audits weredone to ensure standardswere being met.
The most significantstaffing changes will occurrat the Sungod RecreationCentre in North Delta,where lifeguard staffinghours will increase from400 per week to 528.
No additional staffinghours were recommended atthe Ladner Leisure Centre,but at the Winskill Aquaticand Fitness Centre a secondlifeguard, representing 15additional hours per week,will be added.The Delta school board
has a new secretary trea-surer.
Michelle Miller, a NorthDelta resident hired by theboard in 2008, left her postjust prior to the end of thelast school year. She wasreplaced by Joe Strain, asenior administrator withthe district, who assumedthe secretary treasurer’srole while also keeping hiscurrent duties as humanresources director.
Noting it was a mutualdecision, board chairpersonDale Saip said the dis-trict had been looking toimprove efficiencies evenbefore the completion a
comprehensive facilitiesand program review as wellas an internal review ofoperations.
“We looked at retool-ing and rather than just filla box because somebodyleaves, it was an opportu-nity for us to step back andgain some efficiencies inthat regard. We have an act-ing secretary treasurer nowin a combined position,”explained Saip.
“Our new superintendent(Dianne Turner) over thenext while will tell us whatour needs are and where weneed to strengthen as faras the board office. Whenthe opportunity came upfor us to move in a differ-ent direction, we came upwith a mutually beneficial
agreement that we’ll moveforward with this ideathat we’ve had for quite awhile.”
Saip said the Delta dis-trict has a reputation forbeing fiscally responsibleand a commitment for plac-ing the needs of its studentsfirst.
He said Miller had anopportunity in the privatesector but still had to becompensated by the districtbecause her tenure endedprior to her contract expir-ing. However, the districtwill see a long-term costsavings by eliminating thatsalary, he said.
According to the PublicSector Employers’ Council,Miller received a salaryand benefit package of
$114,812 for the fiscal year2008/09. Her salary forthis past fiscal year will beavailable later this month.
Miller, who replaced
Grant McRadu, was insenior management withPacific Blue Cross priorto being hired by the Deltaboard.

Another group of localsis getting ready to head toAfrica later this fall to helpbring clean drinking waterto those who need it.
Tsawwassen’s Betty-Marie Mason-Fryer andher daughter Lucy Fryer,14, will be among a groupof 15 people, mostly fromSouth Delta, heading to thevillage of Gulu in northernUganda. While there thegroup will install a cleandrinking water system aswell as a fish pond, whichwill be stocked with tilapia,a local fish that will serveas a food source.
The group, which leavesOct. 17 and returns Nov. 3,will be working with H2O 4All, an organization aimedat alleviating thirst andhunger through the develop-ment and implementationof technology that convertsexisting water resourcesinto accessible and sus-tainable potable water andthrough the creation offishponds.
The village is home to aWatoto orphanage.
Watoto is a church-basedorganization that helps
orphans and widows, manyof which have been leftbehind in the aftermath ofthe AIDS epidemic. Overthe past few years, threegroups from South Delta,led by Steve and LindaKovacs, have traveled toUganda to help build homesand schools for the Watotoorphans, housemothers andteachers.
Last year, another grouptraveled to the same area toinstall a water purificationsystem and fishpond foranother orphanage.
This is the third trip toAfrica for Mason-Fryer.She was involved in two ofthe home-building trips.
She says traveling hasalways been a passion andsigning up for the first tripto Africa was not somethingshe planned.
“I went to a meeting andnext thing I knew I was get-ting ready to go,” she says.
After seeing her momhead off to the Third Worldcountry twice, Fryer wasready to go herself.
“When Mom first went,I really wanted to go,” shesays.
She was too young at thetime, but this time aroundshe’s ready and looking for-
ward to the trip.“I thought it was amazing
and I think it will be a greatexperience for her,” Mason-Fryer says of her daughter’sdesire to take part.
Every participant is cov-ering their own costs, how-ever the group is holdingsome fundraising events inan effort to raise $20,000 topurchase the needed equip-ment once they arrive inUganda.
A fundraising dinner —Project Clean Water — isplanned for Tuesday, Oct.5 at Sharkey’s Seafood Barand Grille in Ladner. Therewill be raffle prizes and asalmon dinner.
There are two seatings— 5 and 7 p.m. — and res-ervations are recommended.Call 604-946-7793.

Over 15,000 students since 1994.
A local couple is rally-ing the troops tomorrow toraise money for breast can-cer research in the Run forthe Cure.
However, as ChristinaSestan, Mark Pinckard andtheir friends and familyembark on the run tomor-row, they will be doing sowith a very personal con-nection.
Sestan, a life coach, hasspent the last few monthsbattling breast cancer.
After her diagnosis inlate February, the Ladnercouple decided to assembleTina’s Team to raise moneyto benefit the CanadianBreast Cancer Foundation.Coincidentally, the day ofthe run also marks the endof her round of chemothera-py treatments.
Not surprisingly, Sestancalls the day she receivedher cancer diagnosis as “theworst day of my life.”
However, she says shehas received tremendoussupport and inspirationfrom Pinckard throughoutthe battle.
“Mark is an enduranceathlete who experiencesa lot of pain and pushesthrough it,” she says. “He’smy biggest hero.”
Pickard uses the term“gutting it out” to describehow he pushes through thedifficult parts of a race andSestan has adopted thatsame mantra to help her getthrough the tough days ofcancer treatment.
Pickard has “guttedit out” to the podium ina number of races eventhough competing is rela-tively new for the 50-year-old.
He had always beenactive growing up but gotaway from it as he moved
into adulthood.“I’ve always been inter-
ested in sports,” he says, buthe didn’t start seriously run-ning until four years ago.
And when he did, heaimed high.
“My first run was amarathon.”
Soon after Pinckard com-peted in his first triathlon.
“I had to learn how toswim to do that,” he says.
Over the past four years,Pinckard has competed incountless races and rackedup 55 podium finishes.
This year, he completedthe annual Vancouver SunRun in 36:25 while runningwith the elite section ofrunners.
Pinckard competed inthe 2010 Canadian Masterstrack and field champion-ship and the ProvincialMasters track and fieldchampionship where hebrought home five goldmedals, one silver and onebronze.
He holds masters recordsfor the 100-, 200- and 800-metre distances for theRichmond-based Kajaksrunning club.
Sestan and Pinckard
originally set a goal of rais-ing $1,000 for Sunday’sevent, but quickly surpassedthat and are hoping to raiseeven more.

TEDMURPHY
MURPHY’SLAW
In the days following the 2009 pro-vincial election, Wally Oppal becamesomewhat of a tragic figure. Rejectedby the voters in Delta South, the formerattorney general and B.C. Supreme Courtjudge found himself without a job afteragreeing to switch ridings in a bid to bol-ster party fortunes.
I don’t suspect the Liberals, or evenOppal himself, thought they were tak-ing as big a gamble as it turned out tobe when he agreed to turn Vancouver-Fraserview over to Kash Heed in returnfor the not so friendly confines ofDelta South. Sure, independent VickiHuntington had given Liberal MLA ValRoddick a good scare four years earlier,but this was Oppal, a high-profile cabinetminister, who would be lining up acrossfrom the popular former council member.
As it turns out, and hindsight is cer-tainly 20/20, the Liberals made a gravetactical error by exposing one of theirstar candidates.
The likeable and well respected Oppalendured the wrath of the electorate forwhat his party and his predecessor eitherdid or didn’t do, eventually coming up 32votes short of Huntington after a judicialrecount.
Following that unexpected (at leastfor Liberals) confirmation, it was widelyviewed that Oppal had taken one for theteam and that Premier Gordon Campbellowed him. Big time.
Given his vast legal background, bothas a lawyer and from a quarter centuryon the bench, it seemed like a no-brainerthat Oppal would be tapped to lead oneof those commissions or inquiries thegovernment routinely requires. He hadalready undertaken a province-widepolicing probe in the 1990s, which fur-ther bolstered his credentials for such aposting, not that his resume needed anypadding, mind you.
So when Attorney General Mike deJong announced this week that his pre-decessor would lead the Missing WomenCommission of Inquiry, a review of thehandling of the grisly Robert Picktoncase, it came as absolutely no surprise.
On the surface, it appears to be anopportunity to pay back a loyal Liberalfor his willingness to walk into the lion’sden 18 months ago, and there’s no deny-ing that element exists here, but it wouldbe disrespectful to Oppal to suggest that’sthe reason for his appointment.
Critics have expressed concerns overhis Liberal ties and previous commentson the subject, but when it gets rightdown to it, I suspect the current attorneygeneral would have been hard pressed tofind a more qualified person to head theinquiry.

They didn’t even look nervousriding the subway on the morningof the race. Instead, they drank cof-fee, laughed, talked with friends —definitely all things I would not bedoing if I were about to run fromTsawwassen to North Vancouver orLadner to Birch Bay, Washington.No, I would probably be crappingmy pants.
There’s no doubt that peoplewho run marathons, or in this case,the 40,000 people who decidedto run the Berlin Marathon lastSunday, need an exceptionalamount of ambition, dedication andsupport. They also need the balls todecide to run 42.195 kilometres inthe first place.
Something I’ve wondered sinceI was a kid is what makes some-one decide to run a marathon, andthen get up the next morning and
run another, and another, and thenrepeat this routine until 8,000 kilo-metres is behind you. I don’t thinkI had a clue until about six weeksago.
My German class this past sum-mer had two North Americans init: myself and a 75-year-old womanfrom Washington, DC. The restwere, on average, much youngerthan my American counterpartand came from places like Poland,France, Egypt, Norway and Serbia.
Near the end of our term, wewere each expected to conducta presentation to the class on a“national hero” from our homecountry. I soon started learningabout Serbish revolutionaries,Egyptian politicians and AmericanFounding Fathers, but had no ideawho I could claim to the classwas a “national hero” of Canada— we’re so humble about this kindof stuff anyway.
I thought about Lester B.Pearson, who organized the firstUN peacekeeping troops, SidneyCrosby, who won us gold, orTommy Douglas, who brought usuniversal healthcare. In the end, itwas a friend who reminded me ofsomeone who I think truly reflectsthe mentality, nature and grit of
Canadians: Terry Fox.What I didn’t expect from the
whole exercise was how my class-mates would react.
None of them had ever heard ofFox, not even the American, and sointerrupted me every few minuteswith, “He did what?”, “But wait, heonly had one leg?”, “How far is itfrom St. John’s to Thunder Bay?”,“How old was he?” and, at the endof the class, they all had the samequestion: “How can I donate?”
The most astounding thing aboutFox was that he seemed and lookedand acted so ordinary. He studiedkinesiology at SFU, played basket-ball, was still a kid.
He was a normal person whodid extraordinary things, which isa lesson that translates into everylanguage.
Most of the people runningthe Berlin Marathon seemed andlooked and acted so ordinary too,but what set them apart from thethousands of people watching onthe sidelines was the decision — ascrazy as it seemed — to run a very,very long distance.
They simply made the choice,and then like all decisions you keepclose to the heart, didn’t stop work-ing until they reached their goal.
Fox provides an inspirationalexample of setting big goals

Letters to the Editor
Editor:Now that the by-election
is over for Delta council,I would like to shift ourattention to the Delta schooldistrict.
Many school districtsin the province, includingDelta, are experiencingdeclining enrollment thatis putting the squeeze onfunding. Below are 10 strat-egies to cope with decliningenrollment without shuttingdown schools:
1. Cooperate with Surreyschool district to fill emptyseats in Delta.
2. Attract more interna-tional students with special-ized English language andquality homestay programs.
3. Use school facilitiesfor continuing educationand advanced placementclasses.
4. Rent out school facili-ties for community events
and conferences.5. Work with Kwantlen
Polytechnic University andSFU Surrey to offer careerplanning and universitypreparation courses in Delta
high schools.6. Make use of school
facilities during the eveninghours for community sup-port groups and life skillsclasses.
7. Make use of schoolplaygrounds for communityrecreation, sporting teamsand special events.
8. Create incentives forstudents to complete Grade
12 by offering post-second-ary credit for high schooland trades courses. Thehigh school students willessentially get part of theirfirst year post-secondary
education for free. This willfacilitate admission to vari-ous post-secondary institu-tions.
9. Extend holidays forelementary school studentsinstead of closing schoolsto balance the budget,which is a shortsightedapproach to a change indemographics.
10. Turn some schoolsinto unique learning centressuch as fine arts and tradescentres.
My goal is to increasethe positive outcomes forthe students of Delta andkeep schools in the com-munity. One way to do thisis to involve more studentsin the decision-makingprocess and reach out toparents, teachers and stafffor new ideas and practicalsolutions to the issues fac-ing the district.

Editor:Re: Recallers don’t rep-
resent majority in B.C., let-ter to the editor, Sept. 29William Perry states
the 24 per cent of the B.C.population that signed thepetition against the HSTdoesn’t represent the major-ity. If one uses his math,
then it follows that GordonCampbell and the Liberalparty does not represent themajority either ... he onlygot 46.1 per cent of the votein the last election.
Recall them all andrescind the HST (HarperSales Tax).
P. Walters
Editor:This letter is in response
to recent letters to the editorcritical of the HST.
While we understand thefrustration of many BritishColumbians regarding theway the HST was imple-mented, it’s worth takingthe long view of how thetax will benefit this andupcoming generations ofBritish Columbians.
The HST helps us topass on a more competitiveprovince to our children andgrandchildren by stabiliz-ing the B.C. businesses thatkeep our families employed.B.C. businesses and jobsare stabilized when taxreform like the HST low-ers business expenses and
improves opportunities fornew investment.
For example, the cost totransport goods has alreadydecreased because the sevenper cent PST portion ofthe HST on every shippingreceipt can now be recov-ered by businesses. Savingsare not limited to a few bigbusinesses; savings will beseen on the purchase of anew stove for a restaurant, anew truck for a constructioncompany and a new tread-mill for your local gym.
No question about it. TheHST is good for business.And that means the HST isgood for B.C. jobs.

Editor:This past week I
witnessed how blessedthe communities ofTsawwassen and Ladnerare to have a facility suchas Delta Hospital.
My wife was the recipi-ent of excellent profes-sional medical care,administered with greatcompassion. I wish tothank the staff that took
care of my wife and putnew life into her. You weresimply wonderful.
I close by wishing allof you an Old Testamentblessing: “The LORDbless you and keep you;The LORD make Hisface to shine on you,and be gracious to you.”(Numbers: 6: 24,25).

Another batch of bookreviews to reduce the num-ber needing attention, andthen back to a session ofreminiscing about the westside of Delta Street.
First, we must have aquotation about books.Here’s one by Samuel
Butler who, in his time,wrote a lot on the subject:Books should be tried by ajudge and jury as thoughthey were a crime.
That was Butler’s opin-ion. I don’t agree.
The Quadra Story, AHistory of Quadra Island,by Jeanette Taylor, is theproduct of decades ofresearch that dates back toTaylor’s years with the B.C.Archives and the museumat Campbell River. Theresult is an understanding ofthe turmoil that Europeansettlement brought for theFirst Nations people andthe privation settlers expe-rienced in their search for abetter life.
Quadra Island, the larg-est and most populated ofthe Discovery Islands atthe north end of GeorgiaStrait, has a history loadedwith adventure, from thewarriors of the 19th centuryto the loggers, gold minersand ranchers who followed.
Taylor tells the story ofher island home, with talesof people like Chief BillyAssu, who held a potlatchthat cost him $25,000;
Reginald Pidcock, thecrusty potlatch-bustingIndian agent; and HelenBull, mistress of the HeriotBay Hotel.
Here’s what Dave Obeeof the Victoria TimesColonist wrote about thework: “Sometimes a bookof local history is muchmore than that — it is alabour of love as well, avaluable addition to anylibrary of B.C. coastal his-tory and its appeal will notbe limited to people withroots on the island.”
TRAGEDY At SecondNarrows by Eric Jamiesonis the story of theIronworkers MemorialBridge. It was the winnerof the 2009 Lieutenant-Governor’s Medal for his-torical writing, published byHarbour Publishing.
On June 27, 1958,Vancouver experienced theworst industrial accidentin its history when thebridge being built acrossBurrard Inlet collapsedinto the waters of SecondNarrows, killing 18 work-ers. The shocking thingwas the bridge was not an
old decrepit structure but anew one being erected withall the support that modernengineering could provide.That somebody had made acolossal error seemed obvi-ous.
TRAGEDY unravels oneof Vancouver’s myster-ies with the appeal of adetective novel. The authorreturned to the scene andreconstructed the tragicevent, introducing the castof politicians, construc-tion bosses, engineersand ironworkers involved.He relives the terrifyingmoments when the structurebegan to crack and drop.
In the end readers willhave learned about theworld of big-time bridgebuilding and will be leftwith a picture of how adisaster took shape andplunged to its inevitableconclusion.
For over 30 yearsJamieson made his living asa banker, working aroundthe province. He has served18 years on boards of muse-ums, most recently with theNorth Vancouver Museumand Archives.
Local author DarleneFoster will hold a booksigning at Black BondBooks in Ladner later thismonth.
She will be at theTrenant Park Square storeon Saturday, Oct. 16 from1 to 3 p.m.
Foster’s novel, Amandain Arabia, The PerfumeFlask, is an exciting storyfor children ages eight to12. Amanda Ross, an aver-age 12-year-old Canadiangirl, is bored and wishesfor travel and adventure.Her wish comes truewhen she has an oppor-tunity to visit the United

Henry’s Glasses to debut at film fest
Tsawwassen’s Brendan Uegama isset to premiere his short film atthe Vancouver International Film
Festival later this month.“I’m pretty excited to have it shown
there. It’s great to be premiered in thehometown because everybody who workedon it can come out and see it and be partof the festival,” says Uegama, a CapilanoCollege grad.
The film, titled Henry’s Glasses,is about the internment of JapaneseCanadians in B.C. during the SecondWorld War. It centres around a young boy,Henry, who’s in a camp known as Tashme,and receives a pair of glasses from hisgrandfather. Before he dies, the grand-father says the glasses are magical andcan show Henry a better land outside theinternment camp.
Henry goes on to befriend an old manat the camp, Mr. Yamamoto, and helps himdeal with the situation using the magicglasses.
Uegama is pleased with the way thefilm, which is around 20 minutes long,turned out.
“I’m happy with it. I couldn’t be morehappy,” he says in a phone interview fromToronto, where he’s working on separatefilms.
Uegama shot Henry’s Glasses last fallin the Sunshine Valley on sets constructedat the end of a long logging road on thetop of a mountain at 4,000 feet above sealevel. The project spent months in devel-opment, months in pre-production andconstruction but only took about a weekto shoot.
Uegama, who also wrote the film,interviewed people who were interned,including his own dad, Walter, who was
interned at the Greenwood camp when hewas eight.
Walter ended up becoming a cast mem-ber in the movie.
“It was such a unique opportunity tohave my father be part of this film,” saysUegama in a press release. “It wasn’tplanned as he auditioned for the film as anafterthought. But his performance reallygave the Mr. Yamamoto character suchdepth that we couldn’t see anyone else inthis role. It brought a lot of emotion to hischaracter, and made for an outstandingperformance.”
The upcoming appearances at theVancouver International Film Festivalwill be the first public screening for thefilm. Uegama has held private screeningsfor members of the Directors Guild ofCanada, which funded the film, and forfriends and family.
Uegama is also submitting the film toother film festivals, including Sundance,Beverly Hills and events in Japan andAustralia.
“We’re going to start doing the festivalrun, then we’re going to start looking intodistribution, [to] try and get it out there totelevision and educational media,” he says.
The filmmaker also has plans to createa documentary on the Japanese Canadianinternment as well as a feature film.
Uegama has worked on narrative films,documentaries, music videos and com-mercial productions. He was also the co-producer and creative director of an annual48-hour film festival and competition inVancouver that ran for three years.
Henry’s Glasses premieres at theVancouver International Film Festival onMonday, Oct. 11 at 3:30 p.m. at PacificCinematheque and at 9:30 p.m. at EmpireGranville 7 Theatre 2.

The prospect of a visitto the past leaves usthinking of how we
can possibly step back intime. Wouldn’t it be fun, ifonly for an afternoon?
A grain elevator nearAlberta’s eastern borderinvites visitors to take adifferent perspective ontime-travelling with itsClimb Thru Time Museum.The historical journey takesvisitors past a variety ofscenes from Prairie life,ranging from the farmyardto an early school room tohorse-drawn implements.
Bill Dobson of theParadise Valley and DistrictMuseum Society said theintention was to pres-ent a view of pioneer lifein Western Canada, notjust in Paradise Valleyand area. The commu-nity is located 220 kilo-metres east of Edmonton,between Lloydminster andWainwright.
After 15 years of opera-tion, the museum attracts asteady flow of school andseniors groups as well asthe public — about 3,000people a year. The visitorsare not only Albertans,Dobson said, pointing outthat one year the museumattracted guests from nineprovinces, one territory and30 countries.
That demonstrates “howtourism is possible, even ina little place,” he said.
The Paradise Valleymuseum includes the grainelevator, the annex wherethe Climb Thru Time is
located and a tiny railwaystation.
While wooden grainelevators dominated thePrairie skyline for decades,they have been disap-pearing rapidly in the lastquarter century, especiallyin Alberta. Fewer than 250elevators remain of the1,800 that were built acrossthe province.
To visitors from otherparts of the country, grainelevators serve as the quint-essential symbol of WesternCanada. As wooden eleva-tors have disappeared, theirrole has been usurped bymuch larger inland grainterminals, concrete struc-tures that lack the visualappeal of their woodenforebears.
Not only have the eleva-tors disappeared, but the raillines that served them havealso been abandoned andthe tracks removed. Facedwith the rapid disappear-ance of these landmarks,Alberta supporters banded
together to save a few ofthose that remain.
Communities such asAndrew, St. Albert, ParadiseValley, Acadia Valley
and Nanton are amongthose that have saved theirelevators and convertedthem to museums. A Leducgroup is in the process ofturning its elevator into an
interpretive centre.The experiences at the
elevators vary from a visitto the grain-unloading areaand office to a demonstra-tion of the workings of anelevator at the Reynolds-Alberta Museum inWetaskiwin.
The Climb Thru TimeMuseum fills the annex,which is larger than most,standing nearly as tall as theelevator. The gently slop-ing walkway takes visitorspast a series of dioramas— scenes that depict pio-neer life in Western Canada.
Dobson said the grouppurchased the elevator, thelast of six that once stoodin the village, in 1989. Thesociety bought the structurefrom
Alberta Wheat Pool andCP Rail donated the land.Several years were spent incleaning and constructionbefore the museum openedin 1995.
Ironically, the museum
that provides a good dem-onstration of how eleva-tors operate is not one ofthese preserved buildings— it’s a large display at theReynolds-Alberta Museum.The display not only showshow a truck unloads grain,but also reveals a part ofthe elevator — the areawith grain handling chutes— that most museums can’tshow since it’s off-limits atthe top of the building.
“Our visitors do find thegrain elevator to be quiteinteresting,” said KerryAtkinson, educator at themuseum. “With manyvisitors coming from otherparts of the country or theworld, they find the work-ings to be a fascinatingglimpse into the history ofthe Prairies.”
For senior citizens, theelevator unleashes a floodof memories since thesebuildings were an importantpart of the social life in acommunity.
“Many of our oldervisitors tell us stories fromtheir lives that involved anelevator and how our exhib-it makes them relive theirpast,” Atkinson said.
In addition to the grainelevator display, theReynolds-Alberta Museumhouses one of Canada’s bestcollections of agriculturalmachinery and collectorcars and trucks.

This week I answer morequestions from readers:
Q. This spring we losttwo of our cottonwood treesfrom the windstorm. Theyare very tall and we havesix more in the backyard.When is the best time toreduce somebranches fromthe trees?
A.Cottonwoodscan be hardto live with.They growextremely talland tend tocrash downin windstorms becausethey have shallow roots. Inold cottonwoods, rot candevelop and large branchesor even the whole top cantopple in high winds.
The dormant season, late
fall and winter, is the besttime to prune them, butpruning may be the wrongthing to do in this case.
If your remaining cot-tonwoods are tall, old trees,pruning any of the hugebranches may make themmore unstable. Moderatepruning of all the branchesto preserve symmetry willmake them prone to rottingand more dangerous in thelong run.
If you are in a newly-built home, it’s possible that
land-clear-ing hasexposed thetrees muchmore to theforce of thewind. It’svery likelythe nextfew winterswill see
some of the others fallingas well — maybe in placesthat can cause you seriousproblems.
I think you should ask anarborist to visit and evalu-ate whether these trees are
dangerous. It’s possiblethe safest thing may be toget these trees taken downbefore nature does it foryou.
But removal won’tdeprive you of cottonwoodsor that delightful honeysmell they exude in thespring. Suckers will springup from the roots and theseyoung trees will be safe formany years.
Q. I have a questionabout a plant. It’s about sixfeet tall with reddish, hol-low stalks and small pur-plish flowers like an orchidat the top of the plant. Theseed pods have a skinny,pear shape and when theyare touched, they burst andthe seeds fly.
A. The plant you’ve seensounds like Policeman’sHelmet (Impatiens glan-dulifera). It’s said to comefrom the hill country ofIndia.
It’s a really beautifulplant, but it’s on invasivelists because when it getsestablished it grows indense stands that crowd out
native plants. People oftenfilch a bit from the wildand plant it in their gardens,but it can be a problem tocontrol even there.
Q. I just received my lit-tle Rose of Sharon Freedomthrough mail order and wasadvised to plant it as soonas possible. With the cur-rent cold weather, shouldI set it out now or repot itin a bigger pot and store
it in the garage until nextspring?
A. The Rose of Sharon(Hibiscus syriacus) will dobest removed from the potand planted outside this fallin a sheltered, sunny spot.Protect it from cold by pil-ing leaves, straw or barkmulch on top of the soilaround your plant. Removethe mulch in spring afterfrost.
If you garden only incontainers, putting it in abigger pot is a good idea. Inthe garage you will need tobe very careful to water sothe soil stays gently moist.In very cold snaps you mayneed to bring it inside untilthe worst of the cold is over.

Sharing a cup of “live” tea boiledstrong on a wood stove, Aunt GladdieWhite shared the story of the tele-phone’s coming to the NewfoundlandOut port. People could now phoneher. They no longer had to walkdown her lane to sit in her parlor.Ironically, now able to communicatewith greater effectiveness, she wasdying of loneliness.
Facebook creates the illusion ofcommunicating with greater effec-tiveness. I have a Facebook page pri-marily to connect with geographical-ly distant family. I text my childrenbut it is poor substitute for a hug.
A young girl is raped multipletimes at a party gone out of control.Graphic images of that assault areposted online. In Grade 6 I couldescape the school yard bully whenclasses ended. Cyberbullying is now
24/7.For the sake of “high tech”
have we become “low touch?” TheInternet is a standard tool in thechurch’s communication kit. If Jesuswas Aunt Gladdie’s minister, wouldhe expect her to check the church’swebsite or would he walk down thelane for tea? Certainly we’ve gaineda lot, but what have we lost?
Christians need to ask themselveswhen using the tools of a “high tech”world: Does my use of these deepenmy relationship to Jesus or distanceme from him?
Whatever spiritual path you follow,our minimum common ground forethical behavior has to be the GoldenRule. When I use the electronic toolsof the 21st century, am I doing to myneighbour what I would want doneto me?

Delta SportsJobke goes Wild with hockey careerImpressive showing at NHL club’s rookie camp results in three-year contract for Tsawwassen defenceman
No one would blame ColtonJobke if he was feeling a little bitWild these days about his hockeycareer.
The 18-year-old defencemanfrom Tsawwassen not only hasa leading role with the WesternHockey League’s KelownaRockets, he’s doing it with anNHL contract in his back pocket.
As an undrafted invite, Jobkebeat the odds to sign a three-year entry level deal with theMinnesota Wild last week after animpressive showing at the club’srookie camp.
Jobke was one of three bluelin-ers to earn contracts following aweek-long prospects tournamentheld in Traverse City, Michigan.The 6-foot, 170-pounder madeenough of of an impression in thethree games he suited for.
“We practiced in the morningand had games in the evening,”said Jobke. “There were some freeagents there but mostly their draftpicks. About midway through thecamp, they were already talking tomy agent (about a contract) so myfingers were crossed that every-thing was going to workout.”
What makes the accomplish-ment even more impressive wasJune’s NHL Entry Draft beingnothing more than an afterthought to him
He played 69 games in hisrookie season with the Rockets,compiling eight assists and 71penalty minutes in a stay-at-homerole. He had made steady progressas the campaign unfolded but itwasn’t enough to have any seri-ous discussions with NHL scouts.Still, the Wild phoned his agentjust 10 minutes after the draft hadconcluded and Jobke at least hadhis foot in the door.
Making the most of the oppor-tunity is something he has beendoing much of his career.
He grew up in the South DeltaMinor Hockey system and sawhis game really begin to flourishin the hockey academy at SouthDelta secondary.
“I really think it played a huge
role,” he said. “When you arebetween 14-and-16-years-old andgetting the opportunity to be inthe gym and on the ice an addi-tional two or three times a weekon top of your team’s regularschedule, it’s really going to help.”
Jobke was selected by theRockets in the WHL Bantam draftand played one season in the B.C.Major Midget Hockey League.He was among the final cuts forTeam Pacific which is a team
comprised of the top players fromB.C. and Alberta for the WorldU17 Hockey Challenge.
He quickly overcame the dis-appointed by showing up at thePenticton Vees training camp andpromptly earning a roster spotwith the B.C. Hockey Leaguepowerhouse. The plan was to playone season in the BCHL thenmake the jump to the Rockets butit was a decision that was hardlyclear cut.
“I really enjoyed my time inPenticton and thought about juststaying there and going the col-lege route instead,” he said. “Itwas a really tough decision thatcame down to the final three orfour weeks before I made up mymind.
“The biggest thing was whatwould prepare me the most tohave a shot at the NHL? That’swhat makes the WHL’s 72-gameschedule attractive compared to
playing 40 in college.”Kelowna was happy to have
him but Jobke still had earn hisspot in the top six rotation. Nowthey are asking more of him thisseason and have even named himan assistant captain.
“I think they were looking for alittle leadership on the back end,”he said.
Expect Jobke to thrive in theexpanded role — just like he hasthroughout his hockey career.

Delta Ice Hawks Dominic Toigo just fails to convert this scoring chance during his team’s 4-3 win over the Mission Icebreakers onTuesday night. The Hawks also defeated Aldergrove on Wednesday to extend their win streak to six games.
The Delta Ice Hawks used another big first period onthe road Wednesday night to extend their win streak to sixgames.
The Hawks scored three times in the opening perioden route to a 6-3 win over the Aldergrove Kodiaks in arematch of last year’s Pacific International Junior HockeyLeague championship series.
Goals from Liam Harding, Jamus Lane, and AaronMerrick gave Delta a 3-0 lead after 20 minutes. The teamsexchanged second period tallies with Alex Martin andAnthony Brito scoring for the visitors. The Kodiaks madeit 5-3 before Harding extended his lead atop the PIJHLscoring race with his second of the night in the final min-ute of play.
Doug Birks made 31 saves and has been in goal for allsix wins.
The Hawks were fresh off a 4-3 win over the MissionIcebreakers one night earlier. They looked poise to makeshort work of the visitors when goals by Spencer Traher,John Proctor and Merrick opened up a 3-0 lead. However,the Kodiaks, with just one win in six starts, weren’t goingto go away that easily. It was 3-2 after 40 minutes and thehosts needed a third period insurance goal from defence-man Ryan Mana to pull out the victory.
Mitchell Pacey chipped in with a pair of assists, whileBirks made 20 saves.
The Ice Hawks visit Port Moody tonight and returnhome Tuesday to meet the Grandview Steelers at 7:30 p.m.

Whole Body Vibration also Knownas the Jiggle Machine!
A vibrationplatform is a resistancemachine providingan outcome similarto ‘working out’ withfree weights or weight-bearing equipment.In traditional strengthand power training, theload on the musclesis determined by theweight lifted. Whenusing the VibrationPlatform, a specificfrequency andamplitude of vibrationis chosen and themovement of the plateloads the limbs.
The vibration platform forces one’s bodyto have involuntary muscle contractions anddepending on the speed and frequency chosen,one can have thousands of muscle contractions perminute. This muscle activity burns calories andstimulates blood and oxygen flow throughout the
body.
Basically, a vibration platform is designed todo most of the work for you; contracting yourmuscles in the same way that you may do yourselfif you were performing exercises without the aidof vibration.
Manufacturers claim that WBV has the abilityto stimulate over 80% of the muscle fibers in aspecific muscle group whereas in conventionaltraining you only use around 30 – 40% of them,making each muscle contraction more significantwhich may produce faster and more effectiveresults. WBV also works the entire muscle groupon multiple axes versus traditional which works asingle, linear axis.

October 2, 2010 The Delta Optimist A25
Fire Prevention Weektakes place from Oct. 3 to9 and this year’s theme isSmoke Alarms: A soundyou can live with!
Fire Prevention Week is
recognized every Octoberduring the full week —Sunday through Saturday— in which Oct. 3 falls.
Despite the fact fewerfire losses are reported in
Canada, still, on average,eight Canadians die fromfire every week.
Most of these fires arepreventable and caused bycareless behaviour. That is
why it is critical to educateCanadians and incite themto act.
During this week, firedepartments across thenation will promote publicawareness of the dangersof fire and the ways we canprotect ourselves from fire.
“This year’s theme under-scores the importance ofmaking Canadians awareof the simple preventativemeasures they can take toprevent disaster from occur-
ring to them,” says Deltafire chief Dan Copeland.“Statistics reveal that mostfires are caused by care-less behaviour. An ounceof prevention in this casewill save lives, homes andeverything that we holddear.
“It is the responsibility ofevery Canadian to educatethemselves on the simplefire prevention measuresthey can take,” Copelandsaid.
Smoke alarms are inex-pensive and easy to install,but they can’t help savelives if they’re not properlyinstalled or maintained.Here are some tips:
• Ensure there is a work-ing smoke alarm on everyfloor of the home and out-
side every sleeping area.• Have a friend or relative
test your smoke alarm whileyou are asleep to ensureyou can hear it.
• Once a month, test thebattery by pushing the testbutton and drift smoke froma snuffed out candle into
the alarm.• Once a year, change the
battery.• To clean the smoke
alarm, open the cover andgently vacuum the unit witha soft brush attachment.
• Replace smoke alarmsmore than 10 years old.

Fire Prevention Week
Research over threedecades has shown thatmodern homes may bemaking house fires moredeadly than ever before.
Newer homes and fur-nishings are made withmore synthetics that makefires ignite and burn faster.They also release moretoxic gases when burned.Most fire victims die fromsmoke or toxic gases andnot from actual burns.
Deadly conditions arereached much more quicklynow than in the 1970s whenmore natural materials wereused in home constructionand furnishings.
Over 30 years ago, animportant study conductedtests in actual homes withsizes and floor plans, furni-ture and items, and smokealarms on the market. Thatreport concluded smokealarms generally providedthe necessary escape timefor different fire types andlocations. This research led
to the popular use of smokealarms in residential set-tings.
A more recent 2005study found a troubling dif-ference with the previousinvestigation. The amountof safe escape time wasconsistently shorter andthe fire growth rates werefaster. It is thought that syn-thetic materials currentlyfound in homes contributedto this change.
The study concluded thatbecause fires could be moreaggressive, the time neededto escape home fires hasbeen reduced from approxi-
mately 17 minutes to aslittle as three minutes.
This gives less time foroccupants to escape a fireand is shorter than theseven-minute response timetarget for fire services. Thisdisparity can mean the dif-ference between life anddeath.
In May 2008, AlbertaMunicipal Affairs launcheda public education andawareness campaign tomake citizens aware of thethree-minute window ofsafety in a house fire andthe seven-minute fire ser-vices response time.
The campaign servesas a reminder of our per-sonal responsibility for firesafety: the prevention offires in the first place; thedetection of smoke and firewith working smoke alarmsas a second line of defense;and evacuation to safety byhaving a well-rehearsed fireescape plan as the third andmost important action.
Modern homes reducetime to escape fires
Synthetic materials burn faster and release moretoxic gases, leaving occupants less time to get out
Deadly conditionsare reached muchmore quickly nowthan in the 1970swhen more naturalmaterials were usedin home constructionand furnishings.

Having a fire escape planand practicing it at homecan make the differencebetween getting out alive ora family tragedy, says theCanadian Association ofFire Chiefs.
The issue is so important,the association is repeat-ing its successful GreatCanadian Fire Drill publiceducation campaign duringFire Prevention Week, Oct.3-9, and throughout themonth of October.
“When a smoke alarm
goes off, everyone in thefamily must know whereto go and what to do,” saysfire chief Jeff Lambert,B.C.’s representative to theassociation.
“There is no time foruncertainty. Creating andpracticing a home fire drillcan save lives and B.C.citizens need to be betterprepared.”
The urgent message isunderscored by a recentnational survey thatshows nearly three in four
Canadians admit to notpracticing a home fire drillin the last year.
Findings of the surveyalso suggest that educatingadults as well as children isan important way to teachgood fire safety habits thatlast a lifetime.
Through the GreatCanadian Fire Drill cam-paign, an estimated 75,000kindergarten to Grade 3teachers nationwide willreceive special lesson plansand classroom materials tohelp them teach young stu-dents the important task ofcreating a fire escape plan.
Students are then encour-aged to put their newknowledge to work withtheir siblings and parentsto create and practice a fireescape plan at home.
“We know that from themoment a smoke alarmsounds, to the point wherecatastrophic fire flashovermakes escape impossible,takes three minutes or less,”says Carol Heller, a homesafety specialist with KiddeCanada.
“Since most fires occurat night when we are sleep-ing, a family’s quick andcalm reaction to hearingtheir smoke alarm is evenmore critical.
“That confidence — andincreased odds of survival— can only come from hav-
ing an escape plan that theentire family has discussedand rehearsed.”
In addition to informa-tion being sent to class-rooms and visits by localfire departments, Canadianscan visit the campaign web-site — www.safeathome.ca/drill — to download afree fire escape plan gridand complete a home safetychecklist.
Families urged to ‘Do the Drill’Be prepared when alarm goes off

Aries March 21 - April 19: A powerful week forrelationships,marriage,businesspartnerships,dealingwith the public, opportunities, possible fame. Whattranspires now will have “sweet echoes” for threemonths. Love relationships are helped by October’shigh level of sexual desire. Business partnershipsmight go through a process of re-arrangement, buy-out, or balancing of assets/ownership. (All throughOctober, with “lingering trailers” to January 2011.)Be diplomatic, flexible; if you insist on your way,you might turn opportunities into refusals, potentialpartners into competitors. Romance Sunday!Taurus April 20-May 20: The monthly emphasislies on employment, chores, machinery, dependentsand health. A new job can arise Wednesday onward.An important affectionate relationship might bedeveloping – although you could begin to have afew mild doubts about your commitment to thisbond. The same might be said about a contract,negotiation, relocation opportunity, or litigation.This indecision is due to a temporary factor. Bylate November, December, you’ll return to certaintyabout bonding with a person, place, agreement, etc.,so remain optimistic. Excitement or disagreementgrows Friday/Saturday.Gemini May 21-June 20: Romance (with a co-worker?) pleasure, beauty are at the top of your wishlist. You’re on a winning streak – you can succeed inspeculation, gaming, sports and creative ventures. Allthese, from romance to creativity, are marked by anew sobriety, slowness and carefulness. Good, thesewill eventually bring depth, strength and durability toany love or venture you undertake. Your health needsattention. Your career ambitions will get an autumnboost (be active but patient: fastest progress comes inDecember). Rest early week. Wednesday to Saturdaybrings romantic (et al) excitement!
Cancer June 21-July 22: The accent lies onhome, children, security, gardening, nutrition, MotherNature, foundations and basics. A streak of romanceruns through your days (e.g., this Friday/Saturday)– right into next January. If you’re happily married,you’ll bask in love of children, creative joys, nature’sbeauty, sports and/or simple pleasures, speculation,gambling, etc. Chase money Sunday. A Mondaydisagreement might be building with your mate overdomestic/property concerns. It’s minor, but points tolarger issues. Run errands, chat Tuesday/Wednesday.Friday p.m. starts an intriguing weekend!Leo July 23-Aug. 22: It’s a busy time but not animportant time, Leo. Do paperwork, errands, chat,travel, email, schedule (especially Wednesday/Thursday) but rest on a deeper level. Pause to watchnature, to meditate, contemplate, or simply to drinkin family joys. (You’re a sweet’n’sour mixture indomestic arenas – after October, only the sweet willremain.) You shine Sunday, your charisma and energysurge. Chase money carefully Monday to Wednesday.(Your work habits need an overhaul: work smarter,not harder.) Friday afternoon begins a long, deep,renewing weekend – family reunions are blessed!Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Money, earnings,buying/selling fill this month. Your days bringinteresting errands, casual meetings, paperwork,communications – a casual friendship could developinto a light romance (likely Oct. 8-10). You mightsense that under a surface of free and easy flirtation adeeper “turn” is lurking – and it is. (Ditto in all areas –lightness hides depths. E.g., light communicationsor errands/travel could lead to an investment.) Forstudents and intellectuals, October is a superbmonth for research and writing. Rest, lie lowSunday. Your energy and charisma rise Mondayeve to Wednesday.
Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Your charisma, energy,effectiveness and confidence soar, especiallyWednesday afternoon to the weekend. Get out, startmajor projects, tackle difficult situations. See and beseen – be there in person. You’ll impress others. Asensual relationship attracts you all autumn – or youmight pursue a luxury purchase. Either way, don’t bediscouraged if mild delays occur next week to mid-to late November: success will still be the outcome.Sunday’s social, happy. But retreat, rest and planmid-day Monday to mid-day Wednesday. If you haveto insist Monday, it signals future incompatibility.Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Rest, lie low, replenishenergies. Life is sending a mixed message: yoursexual/partnership magnetism is high, but the energyyou need to act on it is low. Reflect on what youreally want in love, so when your energy rises (Oct.23 onward) you can chase the right person. There’sno rush – your unusual attractiveness will last intoearly January. Meanwhile, attend to neglectedduties, governmental or institutional contacts, andadministrative chores. Follow charitable urges. Drinkspiritual breaths, envision your future. Tuesday,happiness! Saturday highlights that magnetism!Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Wishes come true,but in a quiet, sober way. Optimism, light romance,popularity, entertainment and social joys fill thismonth. Many of your deepest desires stay hidden,which can lead to a clandestine attraction, or mightsimply leave you quiet and contemplative despite yourhappiness. Realize that now to late 2012, your realwish is for money. Start thinking of ways to make thisone come true. Your real estate luck returns, now tolate January. Sunday’s mellow, loving. Monday bringsa disagreement about money and the future. Mid-week offers joy, friends. Rest, Friday eve, Saturday.
Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The accent lies onambition, career, prestige relationships, your status inthe community.You’ll meet with bigwigs or authorities,or feel their influence, especially Wednesday to Friday.If meeting, put on your charm – your social skills aretops now into next January. You might meet a “justright” romantic prospect in a group – if Monday toWednesday, he/she will be obviously drawn to you. Iflate month – Oct. 22 to 24 — you will be the pursuer.Life’s depths, sex, finances, major commitmentsintrigue you Sunday. Wisdom Monday/Tuesday.Happiness Friday eve, Saturday!Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: For you, October isalways loving, gentle, wise and compassionate. Butthis October your sweet mood can be slightly sulliedby either 1) a temptation to use romance as a rungon the ladder of ambition, or 2) frustration that truelove is unavailable. Realize that temptation and denial/frustration are two manifestations of the same thing.(True love is never denied, but blocked by temptation.)Or, you might find true love now, especially Sunday(opposites attract) Monday-Wednesday (lust)Wednesday-Friday (gentle mind-meld) or Friday/Saturday (nervous romance). An interesting week!Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: You swim in life’s depthsnow: subconscious urges rise, your dreams intrigue,hunches prove accurate – rely on them when makingconsequential decisions. Commitments are serious, infinances, intimacy, lifestyle areas. What you do nowcan change your life.That applies particularly to love ofa marriage/wedding kind, and to legal affairs touchingon earnings and/or possessions (Friday/Saturday).A few months ago you had powerful ambitions,optimism about your prospects – grab those again,because you’re on a lucky four-month roll in career,worldly ambitions. Opportunities Tuesday!
