John Cummins, the maverickMP for Delta-Richmond East, hasjoined several other high-profileconservative politicians in aneffort to breathe new life into theB.C. Conservative Party.

Cummins recently joined for-mer Conservative MP RandyWhite, former Newfoundlandpremier Brian Peckford, for-mer Social Credit premier RitaJohnston and former Reform-Canadian Alliance MP Reed Elleyon a special “tactical advisorygroup” struck to prepare the party

for the 2013 provincial election.Cummins, White and Elley

were all originally elected underthe banner of the Reform Party.

Allan Warnke, a Richmondpolitical science instructor whoteaches at Vancouver IslandUniversity, says attracting suchhigh-profile names will give theparty credibility.

“John Cummins actually makesit serious,” Warnke said.

While Peckford and White areformer politicians with nothing tolose, he said Cummins, as a sit-ting MP, will be assuming morework and risk.

“That’s really quite a commit-

ment and that sig-nals something.”

“It’s a tremendousasset for us to havesomebody withhis integrity,” B.C.Conservative Partypresident WayneMcGrath said ofCummins joining theparty. “I’ve admiredhim for the way he stood up forthe people who vote for him.”

The B.C. Conservative Partyhas no formal link with the fed-eral Conservative Party to whichCummins belongs. And while ithas been around for decades, the

B.C. ConservativeParty has lan-guished in obscu-rity.

Cummins saidhe decided to jointhe party becausehe believes it cangive B.C. votersan alternative tothe NDP, which

he said voters fear can’t man-age the economy, and GordonCampbell’s Liberals, who can’t betrusted.

“People stayed home (in thelast provincial election) becausepeople didn’t want to vote NDP,

and they didn’t want to voteLiberal,” Cummins said.

“These guys feel they have aright to rule because they feel thatthe public does not want the NDP.The NDP has no credibility whenit comes to running the economyof the province — which is true— and because of that they feelthey’re untouchable. They can dowhatever the hell they want andthe public is not going to throwthem out because they’re afraid toput the NDP in charge.

“And that’s why there’s a needfor another party. You cannot

Students at Beach Grove Elementary honoured Terry Fox last week by collecting money for cancer research and running in his memory. Students raised$1,022.37 in their “Toonies For Terry” fundraiser, where each student who brought in a toonie was given a piece of duct tape. Students estimated how manypieces of tape it would take to tape principal Rachael Corneil and Grade 3 teacher Mrs. Masters, and then proceeded to tape them to the front of the school.The “taping” was followed by a school-wide run on the Boundary Bay dike.

Suspended at school!

MP ventures into B.C. politicsJohn Cummins lends expertise to B.C. Conservative Party, which he sees as an alternative to arrogant Liberals

More than 55 Delta policeofficers are sifting through some350 tips received in connectionwith Laura Szendrei’s murder, butpolice have yet to reveal a signifi-cant break in the case.

Delta police held a pressconference near the murder siteearly yesterday morning that wasattended by about two dozenreporters and a handful of NorthDelta residents hoping for positivenews.

Szendrei, 15, died in hospitalthe day after she was viciouslybeaten in broad daylight on Sept.25 in North Delta’s Mackie Park.

“We are continuing to exploreand exhaust all leads and pos-sibilities,” Sgt. Sharlene Brookssaid. “We sense the urgency in thecommunity.”

A week before her murder, theteen and a couple of her friendswere reportedly pepper-sprayedby other youths in Delsom Park.Brooks said investigators haveconcluded that incident “does notappear to be linked” to the killing.

“We will follow up on everytip and every lead,” Brooks said.“Please come forward.”

Plenty of tips,but no breaksin North Deltateen’s murder

“And that’s whythere’s a need foranother party. Youcannot allow thatsort of arrogance tocontinue.”

allow that sort of arroganceto continue.”

Normally, the appear-ance of an alternative likethe B.C. Conservative Partyposes the danger of splittingthe conservative vote. Butas long as Campbell staysas leader, Warnke believesthe Liberals could be his-

tory anyway.“Somebody is going to

fill it (the vacuum), thequestion is who,” Warnkesaid, adding he thinks theB.C. Conservative Partymay have some success inthe next provincial election.

Cummins said it’s notjust the HST that the B.C.

Liberals used deception toimplement. He said the pre-mier also broke his promisenot to sell B.C. Rail, as wellas an election promise notto support so-called “race-based” (native) fisheries.

“If somebody has lied toyou repeatedly and you stillgo to the polls and vote forthem, you are saying youcan lie to me again becauseit’s OK,” Cummins said.

While the HST may beproviding much of the fueligniting anti-Liberal senti-ment, Cummins said itwould be too expensive torepeal it now.

Warnke said attract-ing politicians like White,Cummins, Elley andPeckford gives the party thekind of organizational expe-rience and talent needed toattract members.

While federal politicianslike Cummins and Whiteare climbing aboard theB.C. Conservative train,Chris Delaney, Bill VanderZalm’s right-hand man onthe FightHST campaign,has quit the party, com-plaining it is now too heav-ily weighted with federalpoliticians.

Delaney has joined theB.C. First Party.

Ladner’s RachelWilkinson won’t have towait a year or more for hipsurgery, her mom says.

Karan Schwartz said her14-year-old daughter nowhas a surgery date sched-uled for later this month atB.C. Children’s Hospital.

“Having it done atChildren’s Hospital is verycomforting for all of usand allows [for] family andfriend support,” she said.

Rachel’s parents wereworried that she could losethe ability to walk if thesurgery didn’t take placesooner than the wait time ofa year to a year-and-a-halfRachel was initially look-ing at.

The family had been con-sidering having the surgerydone at a Shriners Hospitalin the United States ineither Spokane, Washingtonor Portland, Oregon.

Schwartz said she wasn’ttold how the surgery date

got moved up and that shestill has concerns aboutsurgical wait times for chil-dren.

“We know this isn’t ourlast surgery,” she said.

Rachel is “very complexmedically” and requires24/7 care.

She has a genetic dis-order known as 22q13Deletion Syndrome, is non-

verbal, has seizures andhad her colon removed twoyears ago.

Her family filed a com-plaint to the ProvincialHealth Services Authority

and wrote a letter to thehealth minister about thewait time.

An authority spokes-person previously said shecouldn’t comment on spe-

cific cases.A website about Rachel’s

surgery and followingrehabilitation has been setup at caringbridge.org/visit/rachelwilkinson.

The team at Back On Track Massage Therapy would like to wish all residents of SouthDelta a happy and healthy Thanksgiving weekend, and would also like to extend aspecial thanks to all of our patients, who help to make the clinic the success that it is.We are grateful to those who have chosen us to be a part of their health care team,and always welcome new patients to serve.

Many local residentswho regularly use theRiver Road dike are miffedafter a fence popped uplast weekend.

The fence, which wasput up across the dikein the stretch near 46AAvenue and River RoadWest in Ladner, is block-ing the dike betweenWellington Point Park andLadner’s Landing.

Several locals who regu-larly walk, run or cyclealong the dike contactedthe Optimist this weekexpressing concern.

There are several prop-erties, both residential andcommercial, that span thedike between the water andRiver Road West.

Tom Leathem, Delta’sdirector of communityplanning and development,said the property lines ofthose lots do extend from

the water all the way to theroad, including the dike.

The property owner iswell within his rights toput up a fence on his prop-erty.

However, under anagreement with Delta,property owners alongthe dike must maintain aright-of-way with accesspoints for the municipalityto ensure dike and drain-age work can be carriedout. It appears the agree-ment does not cover publicaccess.

Municipal staff is cur-rently looking into theissue of public access.

“We’d like to review thisissue in a bit more depth,”said director of engineer-ing Steven Lan, addingthat staff is also checkingto ensure the municipalaccess has not been com-promised by the fence.

“We do support publicaccess along the dike,”Lan said.

Delta’s MLAs are con-cerned that longer trucks onlocal roadways could proveto be a safety hazard.

At a Delta councilmeeting in August, civicpoliticians endorsed apilot project with MaerskDistribution that wouldsee the company operateits extended length trucksbetween its facility on RiverRoad and the Deltaportcontainer terminal atRoberts Bank.

The trucks, which areknown as extended lengthsuper B-trains (ELS B-trains), are combinationvehicles consisting of atractor and two trailers thatmeasure just over 12 metresin length.

The company must firstobtain a highway use per-mit, a highway use licence

and a provincial permitbefore the six-month trialperiod can begin.

If allowed to proceed, thetrucks would move betweenDeltaport and Tilbury viaHighway 17, 62B Street andRiver Road.

Both Delta South MLAVicki Huntington and DeltaNorth MLA Guy Gentnerhave expressed concernsat the possibility of the“trucks trains” making theirway onto Delta roads.

“It raises a whole lot ofquestions,” Gentner said.“The Liberals are funda-mentally changing roadtransportation with theintroduction of truck trainsbetween the coast and theinterior. I think this is justthe beginning of the horrorshow on B.C. roads.”

He has asked the practiceof permitting long combi-nation vehicles be stoppeduntil the provincial govern-ment addresses safety con-cerns and sustainable trans-portation alternatives.

Huntington expressedserious concerns over thesafety of having these types

of trucks on Deltaroads.

“I don’t like theconcept of trucktrains in urbanizedareas,” she said. “I’mvery concerned aboutthe safety aspect.”

Municipal engi-neering directorSteven Lan told coun-cil that some intersec-tion improvementswould be needed ifthe trial period goesahead.

A staff reportoutlines the need forroad widening improve-ments at the intersection ofRiver Road and River Wayto provide an adequate turn-ing radius for the trucks aswell as an alteration to traf-fic signal timing.

If approved, the trialwould be implemented inphases.

“We’re going to be work-ing with them to ensure it’sa phased-in process,” Lansaid last month, adding thatinitially the trucks wouldonly move during off-peakhours.

Combination trucks simi-lar to the ELS B-trains havebeen used in Saskatchewanand Manitoba since the1970s and in Alberta sincethe mid-1990s.

Ontario began a pilotprogram in 2009 to studythe impact of long combi-nation vehicles. Full resultsof the study have not beenreleased yet, but earlyindications are the projecthas proceeded smoothlyand there have been nocollisions with more than11,000 truck trips covering3.5 million kilometres.

It’s time for B.C. workersto catch, says Mayor LoisJackson, who joined othermayors this week calling foran increase in the minimumwage.

Jackson and 20 othermayors joined with theB.C. Federation of Labourin calling on the provincialgovernment to increase theminimum wage to $10 andeliminate the $6 trainingwage.

B.C.’s $8 an hour mini-mum wage has not beenincreased since 2001.Every other province in thecountry has increased itsminimum wage in the lastyear and B.C. now has thelowest in Canada, says thefederation.

“B.C. has Canada’s high-est rates of poverty, includ-ing child poverty,” said JimSinclair, president of the

federation. “Other provinceshave made the connectionbetween raising the mini-mum wage and combatingpoverty. We need to makethe same connection here inB.C. and raise the minimumwage to $10 an hour withfuture increases linked toincreases in the cost of liv-ing.”

Jackson, who signed thejoint letter to the premier,told the Delta Optimist thatwhile a training wage wasseen as a good way to hirestudents and train youngpeople, people are entitledto a decent working wage.

“We were convinced itshould be reviewed and atleast in concert with someof the other provinces,” shesaid.

Mayor Darrell Mussattoof the City of NorthVancouver said there alsoneeds to be a mechanism toreview the minimum wageannually so workers and

employers have a degree ofcertainty.

Currently in B.C., theFirst Job/Entry Levelminimum wage is $6 perhour. After employees haveworked for a total of 500hours with one or moreemployers, those employeesare entitled to the regularminimum wage rate of $8.

While B.C. remains atthe lowest level in Canada,earlier this year Ontario’s

minimum wage increasedby 75 cents, to $10.25,making it the first provinceto pass the $10 mark.

A local church is hostinga pair of presentations nextweekend with an interna-tionally renowned doctorand speaker aimed at rais-ing awareness about healthand wellness.

The Parish HealthMinistry of Ladner UnitedChurch is presenting twosessions with Dr. GaborMaté on Oct. 15 and 16.

Maté’s presentations arebased on two of his fourbooks, which tackle topicsranging from parenting tostress, disease and addic-tion.

Friday night’s session,Kids in Chaos, is basedon his book, Hold On ToYour Kids: Why ParentsNeed to Matter More ThanPeers, which he wrote inconjunction with develop-mental psychologist GordonNeufeld.

Maté said he starteddelving into the subjectafter seeing the alarmingrate at which children areprescribed drugs in NorthAmerica and the increasingnumbers of kids diagnosedwith conditions like autismand attention deficit disor-der.

Maté theorizes thatchildren no longer lookto adults for emotionalsupport, the teaching ofvalues or the modeling of

behaviour. In many cases,that now comes from peers,which, he said, is neithernatural nor healthy.

Kids in Chaos runsfrom 7:30 to 9:30 p.m.Admission is by donation.

The Oct. 16 session isan all-day affair and tack-les something most peopledeal with fairly regularly— stress.

The Stress/DiseaseConnection and Addictionsworkshop is aimed at giv-ing people an informed,compassionate understand-ing and a fresh, in-depthlook at stress and addictionand how it relates to life.Maté said addictions don’thave to involve just drugs,cigarettes or alcohol tohave an unhealthy effecton someone’s life and well-being — addictions to food,shopping or work can bejust as harmful.

The workshop will helpbring the body and mindtogether, which are oftenlooked at separately inWestern medicine, andmake the connectionbetween health and stress.

It runs from 9:30 a.m.until 4 p.m. Admissioncosts $90 for adults and $75for students and seniors.

To reserve a place foreither session, contactWendy at Ladner UnitedChurch at 604-946-6254 ore-mail [email protected].

40 yearshas takenits toll

TEDMURPHY

MURPHY’SLAW

Forty years to the day of the fran-chise’s first-ever game, the VancouverCanucks begin a new season tonight withexpectations that are higher than LindsayLohan at a rave.

You’d think four decades of frustra-tion and, for long stretches of yesteryear,futility would have dulled the enthusiasmof the faithful, but Canuck Nation isloud, proud and eternally optimistic asthe jam-packed bandwagon revs up foranother go at the ultimate, but to thispoint elusive, prize.

I don’t take issue with the prognos-ticators that claim this version of theCanucks has as good a chance as any ofits predecessors, and perhaps as any teamin the NHL this season, of capturing theStanley Cup.

On paper, it all adds up, both here andaround the league. We’ve never beenable to say we have the reigning Art Rossand Hart trophy winner on the rosterand there’s no denying Roberto Luongohas exorcised the ghosts of Dan Cloutierand Felix Potvin. What’s more, Chicagohas lost its depth, Detroit is another yearolder, San Jose always chokes in theplayoffs ... so the road to the promisedland is, well, as promising as it’s everbeen.

But I can’t get past one overridingfact: these are the Canucks, a team thathas broken so many hearts they’re acountry song in the making.

Beyond one improbable odyssey to thefinals in ‘82 and a more plausible runa dozen years later, playoff success hasbeen hard to come by. Since that Game7 loss to the New York Rangers in 1994,10 different teams have won the cup andseven more have made the finals. TheCanucks aren’t one of them despite icingsome pretty formidable lineups. In fact,they haven’t even made the conferencefinals during that rather lengthy span,most notably gagging on a 3-1 series leadover Minnesota in the second round ofthe 2003 playoffs when it looked like allthe stars were finally aligning.

Despite past failures, it’s hard not tothink this might actually be the year itall comes together. A solid group of for-wards, a shored up defence and a goldmedal-winning goalie stack up favour-ably against anyone and should inspirethe necessary confidence to believe thisteam could go all the way.

Yet I still have reservations. I knowI’m not the fan I should be anymore,but I chalk that up to seemingly endlessheartache dating back to the inauguralseason when I saw them take on thewhite skate-clad California Golden Seals.

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me40 times, shame on me.

As a citizen of Delta, you mightwant to know that Delta councilhas, in concert with the province,set a goal of a 30 per cent reduc-tion in greenhouse gases (GHG) by2020.

How does this affect me, youmight ask?

The combined effect that youand I are having on our planet bythe cars we operate, the hot waterwe consume and the buildingswe live and work in are in totalconsuming electricity, natural gas,gasoline, etc. All of this is creatingtoo much GHG.

A recent government reportsays that within 30 years London,England’s summer temperaturesmight rise to 40C, so action aroundthe world is needed.

The Delta goal says we need touse about one-third less within 10years. That’s quite a goal when yourealize that as a country Canada

has been increasing its GHG byabout two per cent per year. Leftto continue, we would increase byanother 25 per cent over the nextdecade, yet we want to reduce— go the other way — by 30 percent!

You might want to ask how willthis 30 per cent goal be reached?That question put to Delta plannerswill draw silence as there are nointermediate goals, no overarchingplan. Yes, Delta has been buyingenergy efficient cars and is usingsolar water heating for municipalhall, and is working at doing thesame at the various swimmingpools, however, these actions alonewill not meet the test

You and I have got to go on adiet to get anywhere close to thegoal — if we agree to do anything.

Installing a “set back thermo-stat” in your house or apartmentis a good start. It will lower thetemperature during times when youare not there or asleep. Loweringthe temperature of your hot watertank when away is a good secondstep. Working hard to reduce cartrips (combine shopping ventures)is another good step.

Having your furnace checkedand serviced regularly will reduceyou energy bill. A new energyefficient furnace may make a big

difference for you and your bill.Likewise, a new energy efficientfridge will save money and energy.

Replacing all light bulbs withcompact fluorescents is good,except when lights are on onlyfor a few minutes. Buying a moreenergy efficient car is an excellentlonger term goal. Increasing houseinsulation and installing energyefficient windows are also goodsteps.

Our challenge is that all of thisby all of us will not likely meet thegoal. We need stronger, more radi-cal changes.

One change would be to havemore frequent bus service withinthe community — say every 15minutes — to take us from hometo shops. That, combined with bet-ter and more frequent express busconnections to our train networks,would both push the transit systembeyond capacity and could dramati-cally reduce car trips. Europe hasdeveloped good public transit inmany locations. Its example is onewe need to follow to reduce GHGfrom cars.

So where to from here? We needto press our council to get seriousabout reducing GHGs and chal-lenge it to set out some plans asto how to achieve the goal it hasbought. Tell us how to get there.

Greenhouse gas goal set, buthow do Deltans get there?

Letters to the Editor

Editor:A big thank you to the

Delta police officer whomade my and my daughter’sday.

We had just set out along57th Street for the ReifelBird Sanctuary to do somebird watching when all of asudden we noticed the carwas not driving properly.

I quickly pulled over toinspect the car. I noticed atonce that we were practi-cally driving on the rim ofour back tire.

Very carefully we madeit up to 7/11 with the hopesof pumping up the tire tem-porarily until we made it tothe tire shop. The air, unfor-tunately, would not stay inthe tire.

My next thought, ofcourse, was duct tape, butalas even that would notprove strong enough.

Uh-oh, we had a birdwatching and ice creamdate pending. Time forsome quick thinking!

I’ve changed a ton of

tires, in my mind, but Icould not figure out how torelease the spare from itssnug little home.

I noticed a police offi-cer pulling up and quicklyasked him if he could pos-sibly lend me some muscleto pull the spare out.

Not only did he help pullthe spare out, but he pro-ceeded onto the jack, thelug nuts and eventually thewhole tire.

My daughter loved thewhole adventure and what

a great way to learn abouthow the police help outpeople of the community.I really did not expect theofficer to change the tire,only assist me in pulling itout. That really made mydaughter’s day.

It also reminded me ofhow little things can reallyset off a spark of feelingpositive. I can’t tell youhow many people I told.

Big thanks again.Caroline M. Grant-

Editor:Re: Gaudry facing

another sex charge, Oct. 6As a career labour

relations agent, I canonly express shock andawe how Kip Gaudry’sshameful abusive pastescaped discovery by theCorporation of Delta whenhe was hired in 2001.

Criminal record checkshave been standard oper-ating procedure require-ments for two decades ormore.

Did anyone bother tocheck in with his formerHouston, B.C. employ-ers? Make some inde-pendent checks, say withthe Houston Chamber ofCommerce, about his localstatus while there? Googlehis name? Run a newspa-per search on him? Askhim — and all interview-

ees — this question: “Isthere any aspect of youradult life you would notwant to see publicized ifwe were to learn of it?”

Through some, all orjust one of the abovesurely his history wouldhave emerged and he couldhave been asked to explainhimself.

Still, my professionalcredo has always been— to borrow from theJapanese — to “fix theproblem, not fix theblame.”

Let us hope currenthuman resources prac-tices in Delta have madecredentials verificationa centrepiece of any andall new-hire activity — asmuch for executive man-agement as for rank-and-file union workers.

In our ramble down thewest side of Delta Street,where most business inDelta was conducted ump-teen years ago, we hadreached the second officeof the Canadian Bank ofCommerce, onthe northwestcorner of thejunction ofTrenant andDelta streets.

That couldbe consid-ered the old-est businesscentre in ourmunicipal-ity since 1904when theOdd Fellowslodge rentedthe lowerfloor to theRoyal Bank ofCanada and ajeweller. The IOOF lodgetook over the upper floor.

But we must hurry on.There is so much to beremembered, such as thehistory of some buildingsin other parts of the village,tales of the early develop-ment of what we know nowas Tsawwassen but origi-nally, and for many yearsthereafter, we knew only asSouth Delta.

That area got its presentdesignation when GeorgeHodgins obtained from theelders of what was knownoriginally as ChewassenReserve the right to use“Tsawwassen” for theresidential and commercialdistrict centered on 56thStreet.

The main street of thatpart of the municipalitywas originally known asBoundary Bay Road as faras Raitt Road, now 12thAvenue, and Point RobertsRoad from that point to theinternational border.

A clue to the pronun-

ciation of Tsawwassen iscontained in the originalspelling. Ninety yearsago we were taught it asChiwassen, the first syllableclose to the sound of thefirst syllable in the nameChiclet but don’t pronouncethe second “c.”

Other districts to be rec-ollected are Kennedy, ScottRoad, North Delta, EastDelta, Ladner, WesthamIsland and Crescent Island.Another name we used to

hear yearsago wasGulfside.There wasalso CanoePass andI don’tknow whatpromptedthat desig-nation.

Onename thathasn’tchanged isChilukthanfor theslough thatused toflow from

the reserve to Ladner, nowconsiderably shortenedwhen the area westwardfrom Boundary Bay Roadwas filled in and now isparts of farm fields.

From reading accounts ofthe Ladner brothers abouttheir journey from Victoriato Chewassen Reservewhere they began their tripup the Fraser River, it’sdifficult to know whetherthey were taken by theresidents at the reserve upChilukthan Slough to whatis now Ladner or whetherthey skirted through CanoePass to avoid the gunboatstationed at the river mouthand the payment of a tax.My guess is they madethe journey up the sloughand Leon Ladner’s ver-sion seems to confirm thatassumption.

Well, I’ve certainly wan-dered far off my originalintent to tell you moreabout early Ladner. Now itwill have to be kept to thenext ramble.

Dave EsauCedar Park Church

I heard a song recently by art-ist Matthew West in which he talksabout how “in my own little world”that I make and manage there is atendency to screen out news andpeople and things that challenge me.I turn a blind eye to the needs aroundme and retreat into “my own littleworld” which is “easy to do when it’spopulation me.”

But then something happens.Someone in need comes across hispath that he decides to reach out toand share with. Suddenly “in myown little world,” he said, “there waspopulation two.”

He describes it as having his eyessuddenly opened to “a bigger pic-ture” and “a greater purpose I couldbe living right now outside my ownlittle world.”

In October 2008 our church decid-ed to shift the focus of our annualThanksgiving meal from “populationme” to “population we” by invit-ing a group of the Spanish-speakingmigrant workers in our communityto join us. With the help of volun-teer translators, we sat around tablestogether, sharing names, stories andteaching each other a few wordsfrom our part of the world.

Somewhere between exchangingnames and trying repeatedly to learnthe Spanish word for pumpkin, ithappened — my world grew larger.And better. As a friend of mineputs it, I experienced “a little pieceof heaven” on earth. Expand thepopulation of your little world thisThanksgiving — you’ll be glad youdid.

Population me?

Ladner ChristianReformed Church is cele-brating its 60th anniversarythis weekend.

A small group of mostlypost Second World WarDutch immigrants took ahuge step of faith in thename of their Lord andSavior, Jesus Christ, andofficially organized thechurch on Oct. 11, 1950.

Most of these immigrantshad no financial stabilityto speak of and yet theyforged on in the firm beliefthat God wanted them toplant a church in Ladner.Their conviction was thatGod wanted to establish aChristian and Reformedpresence in their communi-ty. The Reformed perspec-tive may be summarized inone sentence: Every squareinch of life is to be livedunder the Lordship of JesusChrist.

A little more than a yearafter official organization,a lot was purchased onLadner Trunk Road thatis now the site of DeltaChristian School. A servicededicating the first churchbuilding was held on Feb. 1,1952. Volunteer labour wasa big part of the construc-

tion effort.Growth in numbers

meant considerable dis-cussion took place in the1960s regarding the pur-chase of another parcel ofland. Property was eventu-ally purchased and anotherconstruction phase ensuedat the present site of thechurch, 4594-54A St.

Once again, volunteerlabour provided by mem-bers and friends of thecongregation played a sig-nificant role.

In addition to organiz-ing a church, the memberswere also the driving forcebehind the eventual estab-

lishment of Delta ChristianSchool. This was anothersignificant step of faithconsidering the financialimplications of supportingboth a church and a school.

Looking back, the con-gregation can only testify toGod’s goodness and gracethroughout the past 60years.

The congregation hasbeen blessed through a suc-cession of 10 pastors and iscurrently served by pastorHenry Jonker and youthpastor Jed Schoepp. Thework of pastors, however,would be of no avail with-out the commitment and

support of a remarkablecast of volunteers at boththe leadership and ministrylevel.

Current ministries thatLadner Christian ReformedChurch is involved ininclude: Children’s SundaySchool, a boys club called“cadets,” Single ParentsMinistry, Friendship CoffeeHouse (ministering to phys-ically, emotionally and oth-

erwise challenged persons),Cross-Training (a churcheducation ministry offeringvarious electives from theBiblical to the practical ona semester basis) and, ofcourse, worship on Sundaysand the various Christianhigh holy days.

It’s also indirectlyinvolved with the local foodbank and the CommunityFund of Faith.

In addition, churchfacilities are home to theWind and Tide Pre-Schoolprogram and to the LadnerWoodworkers Club.

The congregation willcelebrate its 60th anniver-sary with a special worshipservice on ThanksgivingDay, Oct. 11, at 10 a.m.The community is cordiallyinvited to attend and sharein some refreshments.

Church celebrates six decades in LadnerDutch immigrants took leap of faith to establish Ladner Christian Reformed Church in the fall of 1950

formers enjoy the intimacyof the arts centre venue andthe supportive audiencebase the concert series hasgenerated over the years.

“For those aspiring tobecome professional per-formers, the series has

given young performers apositive opportunity to helpshape and develop theirperformance and to meetothers who are passionateabout performing as well.”

Jones says the series isalways striving to highlightyouth talent in our com-munity and in the LowerMainland as well as givingthe audience a variety ofstyles and genres to enjoy.

Rural China: off the beaten trackProud images of a coun-

try on a lightning race tomodernize spurred me intoaction. Is there still rurallife in China or am I toolate?

My Vancouver friendwrites Chinese guidebooks.

“Great idea but how doyou plan to get around?”he asks cynically over adouble decaf latte. “EasternGuizhou is a fascinatingarea of traditional villagesand minority groups, butwithout a guide you’rehooped!”

I soon discover the bestcourse of action is to lookhelpless. No problemsthere! With few excep-tions, Chinese peopleare extremely kind, goodnatured and proud to assist.Throw yourself at theirmercy and they will rarelyleave you in the lurch.

My quest requires somepatience and more tenacitythan I had expected. Thefirst destination, Lingyun,is a failure. Despite being

touted as a great base tovisit rural villages, I amgreeted like a three-headedMartian looking to lunch onsmall children.

I revert to the guidebookand, with a renewed senseof determination, return tothe bus station.

The lone employeebegins calmly enough. Shemakes a couple of phonecalls. She switches fromtalking to writing. WhenI continue to shrug, shepresses her pen until itpierces the paper, then defi-antly hands me the note.

She is already planningher escape, peering at theclock and reaching for hercoat, when a voice froma passer-by asks, “Can Ihelp?” Phew. Now armedwith a ticket, and relievedsmiles all around, I headto the waiting bus destinedfor Kaili. Things are look-ing up.

Kaili promises Englishspeaking help and, on mymap, is just over the hill apiece. The journey takestwo full days! I am ledthrough six bus changes by

kindly conductresses andspend the night somewherein a small hotel of a patientofficial’s choosing.

Mr. Wu is in his tinyCITS (China InternationalTravel Service) office whenI arrive. He speaks perfectEnglish. “But, but, Lingyunis just over the mountains,”he splutters in amazement,upon hearing my story.

“Where did you go?”“Haven’t a clue,” I

reply. “Pretty countrysidethough.”

“Eat on the street,” Wuadvises. “Hawker food isdelicious. Kaili is famousfor potato pancakes andsweet peanut soup. Thewoman on the corner makesthe best breakfast dump-lings. Be there early, she

always sells out.”Wow, the Holy Grail at

last. I spend a week travel-ling by bus through magicalcountryside to traditionalmarkets. My favourite isShidong. Here, noisy ven-dors line the river floggingday-old chicks, pigs andsongbirds in intricate rattancages as well as sacks ofrice, live fish, squawkingducks and 100-year-oldeggs.

Guizhou province is oneof the last untouched areasof China. It is home todozens of minority groups,each with its own tradi-tional clothing, architectureand skills dating back hun-dreds of years. Markets andcolourful festivals are realand a photographer’s dream.

Domestic tourism ischanging the face of ruralChina at an alarming rate.Five star hotels, discos andkitschy souvenir stands arespringing up beside paddyfields.

Tips for a healthier Thanksgiving

When youthink ofThanksgivingdinner, do

images of expandablewaistbands and lying on thecouch come to mind?

Unfortunately, this is the

time of year that marks awhole season of too muchfood and too little exercise.

Statistics tell us that fromThanksgiving to Christmasthe average Canadian willgain one to seven pounds.While one pound may notsound that bad, these samestudies tell us that poundwill never be lost. It onlygets added to our ever-expanding waistlines as theyears and decades pass usby.

For tomorrow (orMonday, depending on

when you have your holidayfeast) night’s dinner, imple-ment these easy changes tore-vamp your Thanksgiving.Your family, and yourwaistband, will thank you:

Drink waterNot a very exciting first

tip, I know, and one thatmost of you already know,but for some reason most ofyou don’t follow.

Many of us mistake thirstfor hunger and having aglass or two of water anhour before dinner will help

to fill us up. Try not to guz-zle too much, though, whileeating dinner. This mayinterfere with the digestiveprocess of your food.

Exercise in the morningStart your day in a

calorie deficit by exercisingfirst thing in the morning.Add high-level intervalsand/or weight training andyou will also boost yourability to burn caloriesthroughout the day. Try theTurkey Trot 10K with meMonday at 8:30 a.m. (www.

turkeytrot.ca).

Stick to white turkey meatand go skinless

White turkey meat is lowin fat and a great source ofprotein.

Watch your portion sizesI recommend using

smaller plates. In a recentstudy at Cornell University,researchers invited thefaculty and students to anall-you-can-eat ice creambuffet. Participants wererandomly given either a

small bowl, or a large one,and a small serving spoonor a large one. Guess what?The participants who hadthe larger bowls ate 30 percent more than the smallerbowl participants andthe larger serving spoonpeople ate 15 per cent more— even if they had a smallbowl! Apparently size doesmatter when trying to loseweight.

Walk after dinnerThis one’s a no-brainer.

Not only do you burnsome of those pumpkin piecalories, you will also helpaid in the digestion of saidpumpkin pie.

Substitute your holidaymenu

If the recipe asks forbutter, cream, sour creamand/or mayonnaise, usethe lower fat version andsave yourself the calories.Example: substitute sugarwith Splenda. You couldsave yourself a whooping770 calories by replacingone cup of sugar with halfa cup of substitute. Replacewhipped cream with lowcalorie Cool Whip. De-fat-ten your eggs by using eggwhites. If the recipe asksfor one egg, substitute twoegg whites instead.

Lose the mashed potatoesTry creamy mashed cau-

liflower instead. Not onlywill you save the carbs, youwill also save the calorieswithout skimping on theflavour. (Log onto my web-site for the recipe.)

Watch the stuffingMy mom used to make

the best stuffing. In fact, weused to fight over who gotto take home the leftovers.However, it was also filledwith lard, fatty sausage andsalt. To get the same greattasting stuffing, substitutethe lard for chicken broth,the sausage with apples andwalnuts and the bread withwhole grain bread.

Finding the right seats for your space

Whether youwant toupdate yourliving space

or start from scratch, makesure to have fun but don’tforget about function.

When you’re looking to outfita living or family room, it’simportant to ask yourself acouple of questions: How isthe room going to be used?How many people do youwant to be able to accom-modate?

“A lot of it is determined byfunction,” says Ladner-basedinterior designer SarahGallop.

People with kids and petswill want to choose furni-ture for its durability; thosewith a larger family or whoentertain frequently will wantto ensure there’s plenty ofseating.

“Think about how you liveand how you’re going to useit,” Gallop says.

There are a number ofoptions out there that canpull double duty for thoselooking to maximize seatingoptions. Benches or otto-mans can serve as a table ora place to sit when entertain-ing a crowd.

Both Gallop and redesigner

Eleanor Hunter recommendstarting with the largestpiece of furniture when look-ing to change things up. Inmost cases that’s going to bethe couch, which is also usu-ally the most expensive pieceof furniture in the room.

Both advocate playing it abit safer when it comes tothe fabric and colour of thecouch. Sticking with a neu-tral tone in a more durablefabric will give the piece alonger lifespan.

“You want it to be long last-ing,” Gallop says. “Thatmakes more sense with thebigger piece.”

It also makes the most senseto start with the couch whendeciding the layout of furni-ture in the room.

Hunter, who is also a homestager who works out of herLadner home, recommendsfinding, or creating, a focalpoint in the room. That couldbe an architectural point,such as a fireplace or a win-dow with a fabulous view,or one that you can createand move, such as a TV or apiece of art.

The couch, she says, shouldbe placed facing the focalpoint. From there, the otherpieces — a loveseat, chairsor other seating elements— should be placed along

diagonal lines throughout theroom.“You want a zig-zag effectthrough your room,” Huntersays.“Have fun with it ... don’t stayin a rut. Just try moving acouple things and that usu-ally creates a domino effect.”

She does, however, warnpeople to stay away fromputting a couch in front of a

window as it tends to blocknatural light and is not themost aesthetically pleasingview from outside.

For those on a tight budget,you don’t have to shy awayfrom change.

Sometimes even just mov-ing the furniture around canmake a big difference.

Adding new accent pieces,such as chairs, throws orcushions, to an existingcouch can also make a bigdifference in a room.

Gallop recommends con-sidering reupholstering anexisting couch or chair if ithas “good bones.”

A new slipcover or fabric and

stuffing can give an agingyet good quality piece a newlease on life.

Whatever you choose, in theend it comes down comfort.

“If things are comfortableand inviting, people are goingto use it,” Gallop says.

Small projects addup to big appeal

Smaller projects can revitalize a roomwithout a big investment.

Homeowners who don’t have much to spendstill don’t want to compromise quality withsmaller improvements. Therefore, they’reoften thinking of big appeal, albeit on asmaller scale.

To get started, homeowners should look atthe rooms they use the most and begin there.What’s the point of starting in a guest roomor renovating the basement if it’s rarely used?Put available funds to work on the rooms thatget seen.

For example, the kitchen is a popular room inmany homes. If budget doesn’t allow for a re-haul of appliances or cabinetry, think aboutless expensive ways to modify the space.A new faucet can give the room a differentlook, as can replacing cabinet hardware andhinges.

Revitalize the appearance of the room withnew flooring, such as laminate that mim-ics the look of stone, wood or other naturalsurfaces. Change the accessories in a chinahutch or hang some different artwork for aninstant change.

Bathroom makeovers are often high on thelist of improvements. But many improve-ments can be budget-busters. Think about

improvements that change what is disliked.Maybe outdated wallpaper can be removedand replaced with paint. Clean up the groutaround a bathtub by redoing to freshen theroom. Go with a new colour scheme achievedby replacing the old linens, bath mat andshower curtain.

Living room re-dos can be achieved withsome accessory changes and perhaps a newpiece of furniture. Change a glass coffee tablefor an earthy leather ottoman that can alsostore toys or throw pillows. A simple swap ofwindow treatments can dramatically changethe look of the room. If seating has seenbetter days — but a new set is not an option— form-fitted slipcovers are a quick, andgenerally low-cost, fix.

For a dramatic change in a home with hard-wood floors being hidden by carpeting, takethe weekend to pull up the carpeting andreveal the floors beneath. A little sanding andresealing is often all it takes to bring out thebeauty of the wood. And that will instantlyprovide value while increasing aestheticappeal.

Another simple and very inexpensive way torenovate a home is to reduce. By removingclutter and items that are simply collectingdust, homeowners can breathe new life intospaces. Rearranging furniture is also anotheroption.

Five steps to stylefrom HGTV designerBan the beige! That’s

the message fromdesigner Genevieve

Gorder for do-it-yourselfhome decorators this fall.The star of HGTV’s popularDear Genevieve makeovershow, Gorder has beentransforming the homes ofdesperate design-deprivedviewers for four seasons.

In her 19-year career (herfans also remember herprevious stint on TV’s TradingSpaces before she joinedHGTV) she has worked her“before” and “after” magic oneverything from the kitchenfloor to the bathroom sink.And she has lots of advicefor homeowners who want totake the plunge into turningtheir homes from blah beigeboxes into stylish havens.

“Paint is one of the leastexpensive ways to transforma house, and it’s very easy tochange if you don’t like it.”

Indeed, this year, grey isGorder’s new go-to neutral.

“It’s a great alternative toeveryone’s beige,” she says.

Here are her top five tips toget you started:

Ask questionsBefore you open that firstcan of grey paint, stop, lookand listen to your room, saysthe designer. “Ask yourselfa series of questions,” shesays: “How do I want to feelin this room? How do I wantto move through this room?Where is the light comingfrom? What are the problemswith this room?”

Then, she says, it’s time toget creative. “All it takes isa little time and more effort.But you have to look past thehome improvement storesand give your home yourown personal touch. It needs

to make you feel good andreflect the things you careabout.”

Use the resources at yourfingertips

“There are no excuses any-more with the availability ofthe Internet,” Gorder says.“There are so many peopledoing so many differentthings now. You can findamazing furniture and acces-sories.”

Keep it personal“Create what I call ‘pauses,’”she says. “Put togethervignettes of personal itemsthat make you stop andpause to look at them,whether it’s a group of fam-ily photos on your front entrytable or a piece of art undera glass cloche in a bookshelf.Tell a story about yourself.”

Mix old and new“It’s great to mix vintage andmodern pieces,” says Gorder,whose kitchen in her 1850Manhattan Italianate brown-stone features a 1903 “sci-ence lab” cabinet and lime-stone countertops salvagedfrom an old school building.

“Look for architectural sal-vage pieces to incorporateinto your designs with newerfurniture for a very eclecticinterior.”

Keep evolving your style“There are lots of thingsyou can do to update yourrooms,” Gorder says.“Accessories are very inex-pensive and can give youinstant impact.”

And perhaps her mostimportant home improve-ment tip of all?

“Concentrate on making yourhome a beautiful place,” shesays. “After all, it’s a refuge.

Slash and burnWith the all the doom-and-gloom

news recently over rising elec-tricity costs, I thought I was pre-

pared for the worst when my August hydrobill arrived.

With four sons who fancy long showers, abackyard pool — thankfully without an ener-gy-guzzling heater — and a washing machinethat runs night and day, dollar signs practi-cally leap from our Smart Meter.

Don’t get me wrong: I’m a strong advocate forconserving energy.

I’m always nagging my boys to turn off lightswhen they leave a room, regularly hang laun-dry outside to dry and keep the a/c unit set ata modest 23 C on the hottest summer day.

So when I ripped open the bill and saw that Iowed $637, I was shocked.

In a blink of an eye, my hopes of installing asteamy hot tub next the pool were dashed.

To help homeowners like myself slash theirmounting electric bills, the October issue ofConsumer Reports Canada offers these quickand practical energy-saving tips:

Program your thermostatBy reducing your energy use at night or when

you’re not home, you can save up to 20 percent on yearly heating and cooling bills.

Unplug when not in useAccording to the magazine, between “five and10 per cent of residential electricity goes todevices that draw power when they’re off orin standby mode.”

Time to unplug the video games, kids.

Stop pre-rinsingRunning dirty dishes under the tap beforethrowing them in the dishwasher wastesclose to 30,000 litres of water a year — andthat doesn’t include the cost of heating thewater.

Cold water worksSeveral laundry soap manufacturers offercold-wash detergent designed to removestubborn stains and dirt without having to usescalding hot water.

To further reduce costs, switch to off-peakhours and only wash/dry full loads.

Fix leaky ductsSeal and insulate heating and cooling ductsthroughout your house to prevent energy loss.It could save you hundreds of dollars a year.

Good fences makegood neighbours

Time to repair or replaceyour side of the fence?Follow this advice fromthe experts at WindsorPlywood, and you’ll be“staking your territory” onthe way to a beautiful com-pleted project.

Before you start your woodfencing project, here are afew tips to help you save timeand cost overruns:

The hardest part of fencebuilding is digging the holes;after that, the structure takesshape quickly. Besides arented posthole digger, you’llneed only a circular saw andbasic carpentry tools.

Designs vary widely, but justabout all fences consist ofthe same basic elements: Aseries of posts sunk into theground connected by top andbottom rails.Before proceeding, checkcommunity building and zon-ing codes. Many specify max-imum fence height, distancesyou can build from propertylines and the street, and

even the materials you canand can’t use. (Take extracare with pressure-treatedlumber. If you are using woodthat has been treated withwood preservatives, properfasteners and hardware mustbe used.)

Call before you dig. It’simportant to know what liesunderground before diggingor using boring equipment.Contact BC One Call at 1-800-474-6886. Once you’vechosen a design and estab-lished a location, stake outand measure the site.

Plot your post spacing forthe most efficient use oflumber. Six- or seven-footspans usually work well;never set privacy-fence postsmore than eight feet apart. Ifyou are building your fenceon a slope, plan to step thefence down the hill, settingeach section lower than theone preceding it. Only if theslope is slight, and the fencedesign won’t suffer, shouldyou follow the contour.

Go to www.windsorplywood.com for a downloadablefence planner.

It’s funny how our lives andour homes are so closelylinked. If our homes are notin order, our stress levelgoes up.

Finding the balance is thesecret. This involves regu-lar cleaning, decluttering,repairing, re-arranging,organizing and updating.

A staging/redesign consul-tant, or as I like to call it, adomestic engineer, can help.A redesigner can walk youthrough the process step bystep, make a to do list andstrategize how to make it allhappen.

It can be an overwhelmingprocess for some people, sothey just avoid it.

Homeowners don’t always

realize how much equity islost when they don’t keep upwith home repairs. Ask your-self: If we were to list ourhome today, are we ready?

Even if you don’t plan to sellfor another five years, nowis the time to start updatingyour home. It doesn’t have tobe a lot, something as simpleas a slip cover for the couch,some new pillows, a freshcoat of paint or some colour-ful planters out front.

Updated homes sell fasterand with fewer price reduc-tions.

Whether you decide to stay orto sell, a redesign can helpyou enjoy, or sell, your home.

Does the secondlevel of yourhome have acold floor? Do

you have a room down-stairs that is always cold?Insulation in the right placecan make all the differenceto your cold feet and yourheating bill.

Years ago the building coderequired ventilation betweenthe insulation and upstairsflooring for areas abovecarports, garages and over-hangs. The insulation wassituated in the bottom halfof the joist space leaving thetop half open for the coldoutdoor air to circulate.

What does that mean? Thespace below your secondfloor is close to the outdoortemperature and that spacecan run from the outside wallto the middle of your home.

I run across it all the timewith older two-storey homesin South Delta.

To make matters worse, ifyou have a heating duct run-ning through the air space,the air in the duct is cold bythe time it feeds the room.The impact? No warm airfrom your furnace.

The building code today callsfor the joist space to be filledwith insulation. Ventilation isnow not required because itis well understood the gluelayers in the plywood act asthe vapour barrier.

To remedy the problem:

• Insert more insulation –

Open the ceiling from belowor remove the floorboards.Remove the thin layer of oldinsulation and insert insula-tion into the joist space. Youcould fit anywhere from R24to R40 in the space depend-ing on the size of the joists.

• Cap off overhang vents – Ifthe overhang has a vent tothe outside, this should becapped off to prevent coldoutside air from entering thisspace (not to be confusedwith your attic ventilation).

• Insulate air ducts – If thereis an air duct in one of thejoist spaces, make sure youinsulate below the duct. Ifpossible, replace the roundduct with a rectangular ductas more insulation can fitunderneath. Size the ductaccordingly.

Consider including this “fix”in the scope of work for yournext renovation project.

The result will be warm feet,a comfortable home andlower heating costs.

Erickson has Ice Hawks off to fast startRookie bench boss juggles busy lifeto find time to guide jr. hockey team

He has three active chil-dren and a “real” job, yetDarryl Erickson still findsthe time to make coachinghockey a big part of his lifeand the Delta Ice Hawks aresure glad he did.

The first-year headcoach with the PacificInternational Junior HockeyLeague club has the IceHawks off to a flyingstart with a league best8-2-1 record heading intoThursday’s game with theRichmond Sockeyes. It’squite a contrast to the lastthree years that has seen theteam limp well below orat .500 during the regularseason.

“It’s the first time thisownership group has had awinning record like this,”said Erickson after histeam’s 3-2 victory overthe Grandview Steelers onTuesday night. “Instead ofgoing into other barns andeveryone (chuckling) thatthe Ice Hawks are comingin, it’s more like this is afirst place team and we haveto go hard at these guys. Wehave to answer the bell aswell.”

As a student liasion offi-cer in Vancouver, Ericksonis typically up at 4:30 a.m.each day and heads toLadner for practice or gamedays as soon as work endsat 3:45 p.m. Then there’s

being a parent to three chil-dren — ages 16, 14 and 12.He does spend time withone of them on the ice forFriday morning practicesbut prefers others to bedoing the coaching, despitehis 23 years of experience atvarious levels.

“I really think it’s impor-tant for them to be learningfrom other people,” he said.“(Coaching) is somethingthat I enjoy doing so that’swhy continue with it eventhough it can be challeng-ing.

“You have to make aschedule for yourself andfit it in there. It’s nice work-ing with this team. Notonly being successful, butthere are a lot of good kidson this team and its enjoy-able coming to the rink andbeing with these guys.”

Erickson’s coachingresumé is extensive — serv-ing as an assistant coach orscout at all levels of junioras well as major midget.He also does work as a spe-cialized hockey instructor.Yet, this is the first he is atthe helm of his own juniorteam.

“I’m enjoying the levelof competition and theopportunity to build myown program,” he said.“We have really been focus-ing on some things I havelearned from other coaches.That includes backcheck-ing, defensively picking upguys, as well as our transi-

tion play.“We are also really focus-

ing on our passing. (Theplayers) will even spenda little time skating if wedon’t meet our targets forpassing in practice. If youfocus on these things youwill win most nights.”

Erickson admits it was achallenge putting togetherhis roster after a numberof veteran players returned

from junior camps on theeve of the regular seasonopener. It meant plenty ofjuggling with some playersbeing traded or being affili-ated to midget. Now he islooking forward to somequality practice time afterthe Hawks conclude one oftheir busiest stretches of theseason — playing six gamesin 10 days.

“It’s pretty tough when

you have one practice ina week,” he added. “Youcould see the energy wasn’tthere with a couple of guystonight. When you get tired,you start making mentalmistakes and not doing whatyou are supposed to do. Theboys are pretty tired but theschedule will be light forthe next little while.”

Icing ...• With some tired legs,

The Greater Vancouver Canadians madeit five wins in six games to begin the B.C.Major Midget Hockey League seasonafter feasting on the struggling ThompsonBlazers last weekend.

The Canadians outscored the winlessBlazers 13-2 in the two-game sweep,including an 8-1 thrashing last Sunday inLadner.

The final score might have actually flat-tered the visitors as Vancouver led 5-0 after20 minutes and produced all eight goalswith seven minutes still remaining in thesecond period.

Vancouver Giants prospect Anthony Ast

led the way with a hat trick.Jeremy Gossard added a goal and a

helper, while Nolan Kinney, Bryce Eviston.Demico Hannoun and Nicolas Petan alsoscored. Brodyn Nielsen registered threehelpers.

Carter Popoff scored twice in the opener,while Ast had another impressive outingwith three assists.

Kyle Hoekstra, Ladner’s Macoy Erkampsand Nielsen rounded out the scoring.

The Canadians (5-1) should get a muchtougher test this weekend with a two-gameseries in Prince George against the CaribooCougars (3-3).

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Oct. 10 - Oct. 16★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: The accent continueson relationships – and opportunities. Last summer’staste of luck and freedom will return as a full mealthe first five months of 2011. But until then you havea number of duties – at least two major ones – toclear up.These are not mere “chores” – they entail anobligation, a social or sacred trust. They likely involvea legal, love or international affair, or a religious,intellectual, educational or publishing matter. Clues,reminders come Sunday to Tuesday. Be ambitious,reliable midweek, but don’t seek agreement. Socialdelights, love, happiness Friday/Saturday!Taurus April 20-May 20: Two weeks remain ofdrudgery and health concerns. Soon you’ll be freeto give your full attention to the social and romantichints you’ve been picking up, and the opportunity ofthese will last until then. Meanwhile, knuckle downto work. Sunday’s social and intriguing – perhapswith someone ”higher up.” But this eve and Monday/Tuesday bring heavier themes: sex, intimacy, privacy,research, finances, commitment. (Don’t feel you haveto commit, though.) Understanding, a mellow moodenters midweek. Be ambitious Friday/Saturday:prospects look good for a new project.Gemini May 21-June 20: The emphasis remainson romance, creativity, risk and reward, pleasure,beauty and charming kids. This isn’t the easiestweek, but there are no major obstacles, either.Tackle chores Sunday a.m. – clear the decks forsome evening explorations, bids or opportunities.Partnerships and marriage haven’t been easy since2003, and won’t be this autumn/winter – nor Tuesdayp.m. But next March starts eight years of peace,harmony, friendliness and interest in relationships.Loneliness will flee! Be patient, flexible until then.Depths, mystery, sexual and financial attractionsmid-week.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Home, family, securityare still of prime importance. And romance, creativity,charming kids, pleasure, beauty, speculative risks stillrun a close second. A “prodigal child” might return inthe next three months. Sunday morning, mid-day areromantic, in a friendly but sexy way. Tackle choresthis eve to Tuesday. You’ll get a lot done – but watchsafety Tuesday eve. Relationships erect barriersWednesday/Thursday, so be diplomatic. It’s nothingmajor. Sexual urges, financial inspirations/hunches,life’s depths and mysteries arise Friday/Saturday.Invest passively, pay debts. Research!Leo July 23-Aug. 22: What’s slow is difficult; what’squick is easy. In the house, with family, be flexible,long-suffering, affectionate. Outside the house,follow your curiosity – it can lead you to valuableinformation, even to new friends. (Now to next March,you might make a friend who is surrounded by, or hasan element of, mystery. This person can offer nuggetsof little-known information, but don’t follow his/heradvice about money or business.) Rest early Sunday.This eve to Tuesday brings romantic urges — andinsights. Tackle chores midweek. Exciting meetings,fresh horizons Friday onward!Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Chase money. Buy/sell,seek new clients, ask for a pay raise or extra hours(especially Friday/Saturday). Generally this is an easy,sensual week. Sunday morning’s very friendly. Bothopportunity and opposition occur Monday/Tuesday– say yes to real estate, security, home, no tohealth or work themes. Romance, pleasure, sports,creative projects and charming kids fill Wednesday/Thursday – nighttimes best, mid-afternoons worst.Tackle chores Friday onward. A former opportunityreturns to you now to mid-November. Be ready to“work it” December/January. Might involve property,relocation.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Your energy, charisma andeffectiveness remain high. Start important projects,insist on your way, ask favours, and make personalappearances. Shop Sunday morning (especiallyfor high-tech). This afternoon through Tuesdaybrings paperwork, communications, errands, casualacquaintances – busyness. Your home life, yoursecurity, and real estate, become important mid-week. It’s a splendid time to institute your ownschedules, priorities, to end some situations and laythe groundwork for the new. Romance visits Friday/Saturday. Before 2011, new romance is not the“marrying kind.”Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Continue to take a restful,contemplative approach. Your energy levels are low.Still, there’s a lot of important work to be done, sodo it. Important because either a) you’re the only onewho can do it; or b) it promises to “almost directly”advance your own goals. Someone might be “sweet”on you – be kind, but gently evasive. Chase money,buy/sell, Sunday eve to Tuesday. Communicate – butcarefully – Wednesday/Thursday. Drive carefully, too.Be alert, because events are faster now than you are.Retreat to home ground for some deep, rejuvenatingrest Friday/Saturday.Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: The accent lies onwish fulfilment, popularity, entertainment, socialdelights and group efforts. Visualize your future,make optimistic plans. You might be experiencinga clandestine attraction – this has little beneficialimpact, and could hinder future love, which would bea shame, as the first half of 2011 holds the promiseof splendid romantic beginnings! (If you’re married,2011 will bring creative and similar successes.) Sleepin Sunday morning. This p.m. (through Thursday) yourenergy soars – tackle big things, enjoy the attention!Buy/sell midweek. Errands, Friday/Saturday.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Be ambitious. Thinkabout future paths, possibilities Sunday morning.Then spend this p.m. through Tuesday evening inrest, planning, research, preparation and dealingswith “permission agencies” (government, institutions,“head office”). (Attend to health issues, also.) Chargeforth Wednesday/Thursday – ask favours, ask tosee important people, make presentations, initiateprojects. You’ll succeed! Money’s the subject (andobject) Friday/Saturday. All month, your hopes are tiedup with love and work. A co-worker romance mightbe growing more serious. There’s no harm in this!Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: A sweet, mellow, easyweek, with a focus on intellectual interests, far travel,education, publishing, culture and love. (These slowmildly to late 2012.) Perform a money chore Sundaymorning. Your optimism and popularity surge this eveto Tuesday. Accept and issue invitations, envision thefuture and sign on for entertainment. A wish mightcome true (perhaps not a romantic one). Rest, retreatWednesday/Thursday. Plan and contemplate, thinkabout your shifting spiritual and charity beliefs. Yourenergy and charisma return strongly Friday/Saturday.Romance is a definite maybe.Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: The accent lies onmystery, depths, lust, big finances, subconsciousurges, lifestyle changes, deep health factors,commitment and consequence. These deep currentsare overlaid with a romantic, loving, and“intellectuallybeautiful” atmosphere. It could be the right time tosay “Yes” to someone or something! (Though, frankly,there’s no rush – next week’s good also, as is most ofthe rest of 2010.) Be ambitious Sunday eve toTuesday.Wishes can come true Wednesday/Thursday, thoughit’s more likely you’ll simply experience optimism andquiet social joys. Retreat, rest Friday/Saturday.
