WASTE

Table scrapsmay soon

heat homes

A new energy-from-waste project inEast Richmond will benefit the environ-ment on two fronts.

The project will not only divert foodand yard waste from landfills, it will alsoconvert the organics to gas that can beburned to create the equivalent of onemegawatt of energy — enough to power1,000 homes.

“This demonstration project is a firstfor Canada,” federal Minister of NaturalResources Christian Paradis said at apress conference Tuesday at the FraserRichmond Soil and Fibre compostingfacility at the Fraser Port complex in EastRichmond.

“It could potentially be used elsewhereacross Canada, diverting thousands oftonnes of food and yard waste from land-fills to produce renewable energy.”

Harvest Energy Canada — a Canadianarm of the Massachusetts-based company— is getting $4 million from Ottawa tobuild a $12-million digester based at theFraser Richmond Soil and Fibre compost-ing facility.

The funding comes from theGovernment of Canada’s $795-millionClean Energy Fund, which is intended topromote renewable and clean energy initia-tives.

“Actions like these will help us to meetour commitment to reduce greenhouse gasemissions by 17 per cent from 2005 levelsby 2020,” Paradis said.

Food waste that used to go into thelandfill now goes to East Richmond forcomposting. Earlier this year, Richmondimplemented a curbside collection pro-gram for food and yard waste. It is one ofseveral municipalities now diverting about27,000 tonnes of food and yard waste fromlandfills each year.

Disease expert’s excuse is ‘hogwash’

“It’s total hogwash.”That was Shannon Goertzen’s

reaction to the explanation givenby B.C.’s top disease expert, Dr.Bonnie Henry, for an allegedcover-up and massive discrep-ancy between the BC Centre forDisease Control’s (BCCDC) offi-cial Lyme disease figures and thenumber of cases diagnosed by theprovince’s doctors.

In 2007, the BCCDC reported

just 13 cases of Lyme — a poten-tially life-altering tick-bornedisease that can ravage both bodyand mind if not diagnosed early— while a survey of B.C. physi-cians by that same organizationdiscovered that 221 cases ofLyme had been diagnosed in thesame year.

Moreover, the doctors’ surveyanswers were only handed overto a member of a Lyme supportgroup, Canlyme, after 18 monthsof repeated inquiries and, eventu-ally, the filing of a freedom of

information (FOI) request.Henry — director of Public

Health Emergency Services atthe BCCDC and assistant profes-sor, School of Population andPublic Health at UBC — claimedthat the survey results were “notkept quiet in any way” and thatthe results have been presented“at a number of meetings andconferences” and are undergoingscientific review and validation.That in itself is a “very publicprocess,” she added, via an e-mailinterview.

Goertzen, a Richmond motherof three, said Henry’s response isentirely indicative of her family’sexperience of how the disease isstill being ignored in B.C.

The News highlightedGoertzen in May, along with hertwo sons, as having their livesturned upside down by Lyme andspending their life savings pay-ing for medical help from U.S.doctors.

“Understand thatwar is hell, it is notpretty to see cities

and towns blown topieces.”

— 91-year-old warveteran Frank Wongresponds during aRemembrance Dayevent to a question

about his experienceof the Second World

War.

on this dayNovember 12

1912 — The frozen bodiesof Robert Scott and his menare found on the Ross Ice

Shelf in Antarctica.

The people who populatethe remote Himalayan region ofQinghai on the border of Tibet arehardy folks. You have to be to liveat an elevation of 4,000 metres.

But even these sturdy moun-tainfolk are having a hard timecoping with the aftermath of anearthquake that struck Yushu inApril.

The quake, registering 6.9on the Richter scale, killed andinjured thousands of people andreduced much of the city of Yushuto rubble.

“Ninety-five per cent of thebuildings were destroyed,” saysChak Au, who recently returnedfrom a mission to Yushu with theCanadian International EducationAssistance Foundation.

Au, a school trustee and coun-sellor with Richmond MentalHealth, traveled to Yushu Oct.8-12 with a small team of fellowcounsellors.

“Our mission was to explorethe needs of the people,” he said.“We found the situation verybad.”

While in Yushu, Au dealt witha single mother with two childrenwho lost her arm. Her 11-year-oldson has quit school to become the“man” of the house.

“He was obviously unhappyand refused to talk to the volun-teers who visited the family,” Ausaid.

A 66-year-old man he spokewith has a 22-year-old mentallychallenged daughter.

The man was talking aboutcommitting suicide because hecould not care for his daughterany longer.

The region’s altitude andremoteness made it impossible forthe organization to send a team inuntil just last month.

Yushu is on the border of theTibet Autonomous Region and90 per cent of the 300,000 peopleoccupying Yushu and surroundingarea are Tibetan.

After the quake, the Chinesegovernment had hoped to resettle

half the population by September.“That target was not met,” Au

said.Most Yushu citizens now face

the prospect of spending the win-ter in temporary tent shelters.

Yushu is so remote that justgetting in and out is a challenge.The region will be largely inac-cessible for the coming winter.

“There’s nothing we can doright now,” Au said.

But come springtime, Au saidhis organization is hoping to drumup support for relief efforts inYushu. He said doctors and nursesare needed. He hopes Canadiannurses and doctors will volunteerto go to Yushu next spring.

The city’s hospital wasdestroyed in the quake, and Ausaid the most senior doctor he metwhile he was there was an intern.

“Even before the earthquake,basic medical services were notenough,” he said.

Au said his group also hopesto return in the spring to providecounselling for people who suf-fer from post-traumatic stressdisorder, which is common after adisaster.

Au travelled to Taiwan in 1999after an earthquake there, so he isfamiliar with the symptoms.

“I can identify the symptomsin most of the people I met,” Ausaid.

One of the problems for coun-sellors is that most of the victimsspeak only Tibetan.

His organization thereforeplans to work with local healthcare workers and university stu-dents who can speak the languageand train them.

Au said he and a small con-tingent of other counsellors planto return to Yushu in the spring.In the meantime, they plan to dosome fundraising to help fund therelief mission.

said Goertzen. “And it doesn’t evencome close to answering the ques-tion as to why there is such a mas-sive difference between the officialfigures and the number of casesbeing diagnosed.”

As for the survey results beingreadily available, as claimed byHenry, Goertzen said it’s simply nottrue.

“A Canlyme member had ter-rible trouble getting those results,”she said.

“In our experience over themany years, this is exactly the waywe’ve been dealt with. (The B.C.medical profession) will continue todeny there is a problem with Lymein this province.

“We’re still getting people com-ing to us and asking for advice onLyme disease, it’s crazy. They readthe Richmond News articles online,Google us and contact us becausethey can’t get answers in B.C. forwhat they’re suffering from.”

Gwen Barlee, the Canlymemember and Lyme sufferer whofiled the FOI request to get the sur-vey results, was stunned to hear Dr.Henry’s explanation.

“During January, 2009, I askedthe BCCDC for the survey resultsand I asked another three timesand was told each time I was get-ting them,” said Barlee, who’s also

a policy director of the WesternCanada Wilderness Committee.

“But 18 months later, I hadto file a freedom of informationrequest to get the results. Only thendid I get the results. They havenever been released to the public.

“I find (Henry’s) comments verybizarre … I’m not sure why she issaying that.”

David Cubberley, a Canylmeboard member, was equally aston-ished to hear Henry claiming thesurvey results had been made pub-lic.

“Dr. Henry has never acknowl-edged it publicly before. However,she has said many times that thesurvey supports her claims of lowincidence of Lyme and that doc-tors in B.C. know how to diagnoseand treat Lyme, yet the few resultsreported contradict her claims,”Cubberley said.

“Bottom line: evidence refutingthe official story was covered upfor three years. We have never beenallowed to see any actual surveyresults to determine for ourselves,despite repeated requests.

“What’s troubling is that theBCCDC persisted in claiming lowincidence of Lyme, while havingrobust evidence that many physi-cians were seeing and treating itclinically all across B.C.

“The BCCDC didn’t acknowl-

edge this because it contradictstheir fiction that Lyme is rare inB.C.”

When the News asked Dr. Henryto explain the gulf in doctor’s diag-nosed cases and figures releasedby the BCCDC, she said the centrecan’t report it if they don’t knowabout it.

“In order for a case to be report-ed to the BCCDC, the case must belab confirmed or a physician mustreport it to the BCCDC,” she saidby e-mail.

“This survey provides valuableinsight into clinician knowledge,beliefs and practice in B.C.

“One (survey) question askedabout the number of patients with(Lyme) that physicians had seen intheir practice in 2007.

“It was a general question anddid not ask if they were acute cases,had signs and symptoms whichmeet the surveillance criteria weuse in B.C., whether it was anassessment of a tick bite, or wheth-er they were affected while in B.C.or traveling etc.

“For these reasons, we cannotuse this data as official reporting.Also, based on this data, it is dif-ficult to determine if each case sawmore than one physician (ie. twoor more doctors are referencing thesame patient).”

Henry was also asked to explain

why, according to the BCCDC’ssurvey, only 60 per cent of B.C.’sdoctors knew that Lyme was even areportable disease.

“The simple answer is that phy-sicians do not report clinical casesto medical health officers with thedegree of completeness that wewould like,” Henry said.

“This is true for all the 40 plusreportable diseases and in oursurveillance we are largely reliantupon laboratory testing to alert usto trends. British Columbia is nodifferent from any other jurisdictionin this regard.”

Cubberley said Henry’s responseto the News’ questions stinks of acover-up. “Dr. Henry can’t haveit both ways — claim that doctorshave the knowledge to diagnoseLyme from symptoms, and thendismiss as anecdotal evidence thatthose doctors are diagnosing Lymefar beyond acknowledged levels,”

Cubberley said.Meanwhile, the Goertzen fam-

ily, although getting a rough rideof it lately, are well on the road torecovery after seeking help south ofthe border.

“(Parker) was doing great upuntil this week. He started an inten-sive course of IV treatment sixweeks ago and we were warned thathe might hit a wall at the six-weekmark. Prior to that he was beenswimming, playing basketball andrunning around and hadn’t used hiswheelchair in a long time.”

She said that 17-year-old Taylorhad a rough summer but has made“big improvements” recently.

As for the mom herself, her U.S.doctor said she’s about 70 per centrecovered.

“I’ll never be cured,” she said.“It’s always a rollercoaster. We’vestill a road to haul, all of us. Butwe’re on the right track.”

Support for the expan-sion of the LingyenBuddhist Temple on No. 5Road ranges from 40 to 94per cent, depending on thesurvey method, accordingto a report by the consultingfirm handling the consulta-tions for the temple.

The proposed expansion,which includes a 140-footmain temple, was the sub-ject of an open house Sept.15.

Another was heldTuesday (Nov. 9). A thirdhas been scheduled forSaturday (Nov. 13) atAberdeen Centre (4151Hazelbridge Way) from 2 to5 p.m.

Roughly 400 peopleattended Tuesday’s openhouse — an indication ofthe community interest inthe proposed expansion

According to a report bythe consulting firm Brookesand Associates, only 40per cent of the respondentssurveyed by flyer supportedthe expansion.

But at a Sept. 15 openhouse attended by 330people, 94 per cent ofrespondents who filled outthe same questionnaireforms said they supportedthe proposal.

Of the 291 respondentswho filled out question-naires at the open house,67 per cent said they live inRichmond. Interestingly, 12per cent of those Richmondresidents (36) live at thetemple. Most of them areresident nuns.

Carol Day, a schooltrustee who lives in thearea, has become the pro-

posal’s main opponent, andshe takes issue with the waythe consultants have beenpresenting the proposal.

“They are doing what-ever it takes to make it looklike they have tremendoussupport for the temple,”Day said.

Day added she has apetition signed by 126people, so far, who opposethe expansion.

The Lingyen Temple’sproperty is 30.8 acres insize. Two-thirds — 19 acres— is zoned for agriculture;12 acres are zoned institu-tional.

The temple’s architect,James Cheng, says therewill be no net loss of ALRland as a result of theexpansion.

The main temple will bepagoda style, with succes-sively higher tiers, the topof which will be 140 feet.There will be a total of 10new buildings.

Opponents fear a 15-storey temple will be out ofscale with the neighbour-hood and may set a prec-edent in which other reli-gious institutions along No.5 Road will likewise seeklarge-scale expansions.

Another main concernis parking and traffic con-gestion. The original plancalled for significantlymore parking spaces thanthe 410 now proposed, andthere is a fear that parkingcongestion will become aserious problem, especiallyduring special festivals.

The temple’s proximityto the old Fantasy Gardenssite, which is currentlyunder redevelopment, alsohas some homeowners inthe area worried that traffic

congestion at the corner ofNo. 5 Road and StevestonHighway — already prob-lematic — will becomeeven worse.

Following the Nov. 13open house, Brooks andAssociates will submit areport to the city’s planningdepartment. The expansion,which requires a rezoning,is scheduled to come beforethe city’s planning commit-tee Dec. 7.

Ken Johnston, a citycouncillor who happens to

live near the temple, hassaid he shares some of hisneighbours’ concerns, butsaid he hasn’t made up hismind yet on how he mightvote when the expansioncomes up for a rezoning.

“At this point I’ve gotmy ears open and my mouthshut,” he said.

Survey results vary on Buddhist Temple bidDEVELOPMENT



TheLingyenTemple’spro-posed expansion has beena controversial subject forsome time.

The Richmond section of the CanadaLine may be back up and running —but the reason for last week’s rush hourdisruptions remains a mystery.

Commuters on the $2.1 billion rapidtransit line’s Richmond stops were leftfrustrated during last Wednesday andThursday morning rush hour and againon Sunday, when trains unexpectedlystopped between the Aberdeen andLansdowne stations.

It caused extensive back-ups on theBridgeport station platform, where pas-sengers coming in from Vancouver hadto get off at Bridgeport and wait for asporadic shuttle train service to get fur-ther into Richmond.

And, despite extensive tests carriedout by engineers, Canada Line opera-

tors Protrans BC are no nearer to find-ing out the exact cause of the problem.

“There could be a whole multitudeof problems and reasons why this couldcause a train to lose optimum traction,”said Protrans BC’s manager of publicaffairs, Jason Chan.

“It could be a software problem, thesensors could be set too sensitively orthere could be too much moisture onthe rails.

“At the moment, I can’t speculate asto exactly what caused the problem aswe’re still actually looking into it anddoing some background investigations.”

Chan explained that last week some-thing was causing the computerizedsystem on the trains to believe that thetraction between the train and the linewasn’t as good as it should be.

“Traction is when hard metal meetsa metal rail. The sensors are designed to

make sure passengers are safe,” he said.“When the system senses there may

be a problem, it says to itself, ‘I’m notgoing anywhere, I’m going to stop.’

“These systems are very sensitive.They are ultimately designed to keeppeople safe and I think last week it wasdemonstrated that the system is work-ing and it’s not going to let the trainsgo when it feels there is somethingwrong.”

Whatever the cause, the issue forcedtrains to run on a single track betweenBridgeport and Brighouse, instead ofthe usual two, resulting in delays forpeople looking to get in and out ofRichmond.

Scheduled maintenance track workwas completed on the same section ofthe line last weekend during the night,but Chan said the service disruptionswere unrelated.

Aujla: Commercial stream is next frontierConstruction on a new

digester is scheduled tobegin in the new year withcompletion slated for theend of 2011.

Using a natural compost-ing process, the digesterwill produce methane gas.It can then either be used topower a generator to createabout a megawatt of elec-tricity, or sold to Terasengas for home heating.

Steve Aujla, executivevic-president of FraserRichmond Soil and Fibre— a subsidiary of HarvestEnergy Canada — said thecompany has not decidedyet whether to use the gasit will create for power gen-eration or for heating.

Currently, only foodwaste from single familyhomes are being collectedby municipalities. Oneuntapped source is food

waste is restaurants, grocerystores and bakeries. Whilesome are already truckingtheir food waste to FraserRichmond Soil and Family,not all are.

“The next frontier isto tackle the commercialstream,” Aujla said.

“We have a goal inMetro Vancouver to divert70 per cent of all our gar-bage into facilities likethis, or into recycling, by

2015,” said Greg Moore,mayor of Port Coquitlamand chairman of theMetro Vancouver WasteManagement Committee.

Moore said MetroVancouver now diverts 55per cent of its waste.

“Canada as a whole isat 22 per cent, on average,”Moore added. “So we cansee that Metro Vancouver isleading across the countryand across the world.”

A court diversion processthat helps reduce policingand court costs has beenextended for another threeyears in Richmond — nothanks to the provincial gov-ernment.

The city’s communitysafety committee Tuesdayvoted to extend its contractwith Touchstone FamilyServices to continue runninga Restorative Justice programfor another three years.

It costs the city $95,000a year to fund the program,which alleviates pressure on— and reduces costs to —the provincial court system.

The program is fundedalmost entirely by the city.Touchstone only gets $2,500from the province to helprecruit volunteers.

City councillors areconvinced the program isa valuable part of the city’scommunity safety programand worth funding.

“It works and we’re get-ting good value for ourmoney,” Coun. Bill McNulty

said Tuesday while respond-ing to a staff report on theprogram.

The program has beenrunning in Richmond fornearly three years now.Restorative justice is analternative to court. To par-ticipate, the offender — mostoften a youth, but sometimesan adult — must admit guiltand be prepared to makeamends.

Doing that involves meet-ing with the victims of thecrime and listening to howthe person’s actions affectedothers. Offenders are oftenrequired to pay some form ofrestitution, by doing commu-nity service, for example.

The process involves nojudge, no Crown or defencelawyers. Volunteer facilita-tors are used, so the costs aremuch lower than court.

While RCMP do most ofthe referrals, other agencies,such as schools, can alsorefer youth to the program.

Touchstone had 32referrals in 2009, with 27community justice forumscompleted.

Half of the participants

are typically between theages of 14 and 15.

“I find this quite alarm-ing — that 50 per cent are14 and 15-year-olds,” saidCoun. Sue Halsey-Brandt.

Judy Valsonis, director ofoperations for Touchstone,said the numbers are notunusual, saying it’s “an agewhen youth are starting toact out and test the boundar-

ies.” As for recidivism rates,Touchstone executive direc-tor Michael McCoy said it’stoo early to say yet whetherthe rates of reoffending areany lower with restorative

justice than the court sys-tem. However he said ratesin other jurisdictions whererestorative justice has beenin practise show the rates arequite low.

EDITORIAL OPINION

Revelations that the B.C. Centre for Disease Control sat onthe findings of one of its own surveys on Lyme disease is trou-bling. As we report in today’s paper, a survey conducted by theBCCDC contradicts its own numbers on the incidence of Lymedisease in B.C.

The BCCDC’s official reporting on the incidence of thedisease in B.C. for 2007 was just 13 cases. But a survey filledout by B.C. doctors — a survey conducted by the BCCDC— reported 221 diagnoses of Lyme disease in 2007.

What is troubling is that, according to a Lyme disease suf-fer, the BCCDC refused to release the findings of this survey,despite her repeated requests. She then forced the organization’shand by filing a freedom of information act application.

BCCDC says it can only report Lyme disease incidence if itis lab confirmed or reported by physicians. The fact that manyphysicians apparently don’t know that Lyme disease is a report-able disease is almost as troubling as the fact BCCDC appearsnot to take its own survey seriously.

We realize the BCCDC needs hard data — it can’t rely onanecdotal information. But the fact many B.C. doctors appar-ently don’t even know that Lyme is a disease which should bereported to the BCCDC is puzzling and worrisome.

There are some diseases that are now believed to be on theincrease in North America due to global warming. Denguefever is one. Another is Lyme disease, according to a recentstudy by Yale University.

If physicians in B.C. are not aware that Lyme disease issomething they should be reporting to the BCCDC, then theBCCDC needs to do a better job of ensuring doctors are upto speed. The public puts its trust in organizations like theBCCDC, and when data is suppressed, it erodes that trust.

Imagine a high schoolwhere students pick theirlectures each day from alist of subjects so fascinat-ing and engaging it’s hardto pick just a few.

In the same day, theymight have a video confer-ence with a mentor whoworks in a field they’reinterested in. They mightalso meet in small discus-sion groups with otherstudents, or participate inwriting workshops withteachers.

They will work closelywith their facilitatorteacher, who is workingclosely with each individ-ual student to ensure theyare learning the skills andcompetencies necessary forwhatever it is they want todo when they grow up.

The ideas above are notmine, but I like them. Theyactually belong to an initia-tive out of Britain calledThe Twenty-First CenturyLearning Initiative. Theorganization released adocument called ‘Schools’in the Future: What has tochange, and why, whichis a fascinating look atschools today, and howthey should be revolution-ized to optimize studentsuccess.

In many ways, schoolsnow are the same as theywere 40 years ago whenI went off to kindergar-ten. Meanwhile, nearlyeverything else, from thetelephone, to the TV, to lis-tening to music, to playing(video) games has com-

pletely changed. The work-place has changed so muchwe now have a televisionshow to reveal just how dif-ferent it is (Mad Men), andyet K-12 schools remainpretty much the same. Forthe most part, teachersinteract with students inthe same ways they alwayshave.

The Twenty-FirstCentury Learning Initiativewants to change that.

The initiative calls forteachers to become facilita-tors rather than instructors,and seems to be rooted inConfucious’ quote: “Tella child and he will forget;show him and he willremember; but let him do,and he will understand.”

Their document statesthat “…for so many chil-dren the wonder of learninghas been replaced by thetedium of trying to remem-ber what they were toldby somebody else aboutsomething that didn’t reallyinterest them very muchin the first place.” Soundspretty familiar.

The initiative calls forindividualized learningpaths versus our currentsystems of pre-programmedpaths for all students of thesame age, and also places

a much greater emphasison experiential and situ-ational learning as studentsget older. There’s a de-emphasis on courses and amove toward deep learningthat is interdisciplinary.The approach would meanmuch more involvement ineducation for communitymembers, as mentors andadvisors.

The approach is basedin recent research thatshows the brain works bestwhen it is highly chal-lenged, but in a low-threatenvironment. The researchalso shows that the brain isdriven by curiosity and isempowered by the experi-ence of its ancestors. Thisresearch looks at adoles-cence as an opportunity forthinking that goes beyondthe previous generation’sabilities.

Former education min-ister Margaret MacDiarmidwas quoted in June sayingthat Twenty-First centurylearning is something thatB.C.’s education ministrywas interested in. Althoughthe cabinet shuffle tookher out of the educationministry, it’s likely they’restill investigating this newmodel for schools.

While it will takemassive change to bringanything resembling 21stcentury learning to B.C.’sschools, in my view, anymove in this direction is agood one.

Comments and ques-tions always welcome [email protected].

An open letter to Premier Gordon CampbellDear Premier Campbell,

First Call: BC Child and Youth Advocacy Coalition was oneof the organizations that took time to respond to the call forinput into next year’s budget by the Select Standing Committeeon Finance and Government Services. Many of our coalitionpartners also participated. We all participated in good faith,trusting that the committee’s report and recommendations,expected on Nov. 15, would reflect our views, among others.

Your announcement on Oct. 27 of an income tax cut, cost-ing the 2011 provincial budget $568 million, was a slap in theface to the standing committee and everyone who made sub-missions. The consultation document specifically asked BritishColumbians to share our budget priorities for 2011/12, with thefigure of $650 million shown as “Available Revenues.”

Our coalition exists to mobilize British Columbians onbehalf of children and youth. We regularly encourage our coali-tion partners and contacts to engage in the democratic process,such as participating in formal consultations by legislative com-mittees, in order to make the case for the importance of allocat-ing resources to properly support children, youth and families.

Your action, pre-empting even the appearance of consider-ing the standing committee’s recommendations, has made itharder for people to believe that their time is well spent prepar-ing briefs and recommendations to inform government deci-sion-making. It has increased cynicism about our relationshipas citizens with our government. It has made it more difficult toconvince young people that public consultations by governmenthave integrity and are worthy of their interest and effort.

On behalf of our coalition partners, we would appreciatehearing from you as to why this 2011/12 budget decision wasmade prior to the submission of the standing committee’s reportfrom its public consultations. We look forward to your reply.

LettersHiring PR officer bad PR move

The Editor,Re: “Wong, Cummins

must take some of theblame,” Letters, Nov. 5.

Hatem Ela-Alim suggeststhe HST was “imposed” bythe Conservative govern-ment. Nothing could befurther from the truth.

To give some back-ground, the HST is origi-nally a Mulroney tax. It’simplementation wasattempted in a prairie prov-ince in the 80’s which costthe incumbent governmentat election time.

It was first success-

fully implemented by theChretien liberals in 1996with NFLD and Lab., N.S.and N.B. signing on at thattime.

From what I understandthis is completely a volun-tary choice of the provincialgovernments, it was not“imposed” as stated.

As a matter of factStephen Harper threw in anextra billion or so to helpBCers with Campbell’sspending problem. TheConservatives are nothingmore than the sitting gov-ernment when Campbell

applied for the HST.Gary Nelson

The Editor,Re: “School district hires PR officer,”

News, Nov. 5.While parents fight for the resources

necessary to adequately educate our chil-dren, the Richmond School District isplanning to hire a PR officer whose jobwill include “marketing the public schoolsystem both within and outside Richmond.”Really?

I fail to understand the logic of adding anew non-teaching position on the heels ofmassive school based layoffs.

We are constantly told the SchoolDistrict is underfunded, therefore not ableto afford more educational assistants,

librarians and resource teachers.While the provincial government may

be guilty of underfunding education gener-ally, it is the school district who has theresponsibility of allocating the resourcesthey receive.

Clearly this decision is an example oftheir misguided focus. If the school districtis really interested in stemming the flow ofchildren to the private system, they shouldconcentrate on elevating the quality of edu-cation within the classroom, not creatingmarketing materials.

Joint Tenancy – the result(ing Trust)may surprise you!Parents sometimes transfer title of their properties to children, in order to avoid the expensive Probate process. The transfer createsa joint tenancy with their children, so that on death, title passes automatically (outside their Estates), to their children. But, underpresent law, it isn’t always that simple. Legal title can be easily transferred. But beneficial title, the “other” interest parents own, isharder to transfer. The title transfer raises initially the legal presumption that the children hold beneficial title on “resulting” Trustfor their parents. And if other children, who didn’t receive title, challenge the transfer, the children with legal title have to prove theparents intended a gift. In the case of Turner v. Turner, decided earlier this year, this happened. The Plaintiff, John Turner, sued hisbrother James, who received title from his widowed mother, and held it jointly with her. However, Mrs. Turnerhad made her Will, where she bequeathed the property to both sons equally. The Court held that James heldhis interest on Trust for his mother, bringing the property back into her Estate. So a transfer of a title has tobe done with proper supporting documents, and a lot of planning.

The Editor,Re: “Oval’s projected def-

icit crimped,” News, Nov. 5.The heady days of the

Olympic Games and theirafterglow have becomememories and Richmondtaxpayers now face the bleak

reality of having to subsidizethe owe-val.

At some point city coun-cil has agreed that an annual

subsidy of $1.5 millionis necessary. This is overand above the sum fromthe Olympic Legacy Fund

plus whatever amounts aretransferred from the casinorevenue.

Some councillors are

now asking if this $1.5 mil-lion will be enough and areeven voicing concerns aboutthe building becoming a cashdrain.

So what happened toMayor Brodie’s steadfastclaims over the years thatthe owe-val will be a “greatstimulus to Richmond’seconomy,” “a great source ofrevenue,” etc. etc. And not awhite elephant?

But what do the latest fig-ures show?

As an example, the$12,000 revenue for mem-bership so far, equates to185 people taking out a one-month membership — 185out of Richmond’s popula-tion of 175,000, for onemonth.

Mayor Brodie, it is obvi-ous that the owe-val is wellbeyond the white elephantstage and is now shaping upto be a financial disaster.

Robert M. Paul

Oval is shaping up to be Olympic-sized financial disaster

The Editor,There are many volun-

teers serving in local organi-zations that are focused ontrying to make our city a bet-ter place for all of its citizens– and visitors.

Underlying these servicesis the common understand-ing that all of us share planetearth as our common home.

The majority of peoplewant to live in a world freeof conflict, corruption, anddiscrimination. Most agreethat to reach this happy staterequires all of us to makechanges in how we think,feel, act and how we orga-nize our collective life.

One small action thatwould be enormously help-ful would be to eliminate thewords “race” and “racism”from our vocabulary andtextbooks.

Whenever those words areused, there is an immediatefalse wall of separatenessthat springs up amongstpeople with different physi-cal characteristics.

We are all “people”, cre-ated by the same creator inthe same mould, but we areonly beginning to incorporateinto our hearts, minds andactions the reality of our one-ness. The elimination of thefalse, man-made concept of“race” would be a big step onthe path that we must traveltogether.

The Editor,It is 2 a.m. between Halloween and

All Saints Day, and the ghosts of mypast, in defiance of the Irish whiskey,will not let me rest.

Almost two decades ago now, priorto becoming a Gnarly Old Dude,when I was still young, strong, andproud, I was a volunteer employment/unemployment insurance advocatein the fishing industry. I was prettydamned good at it, too. In all thoseyears I only lost one appeal, but thatis another story.

It was an unpaid position, conduct-ed under the auspices of the UnitedFishermen and Allied Workers Union(UFAWU), an organization, like thefish we earned our livelihood from,and like myself, now a humble vestigeof what we were back then.

Unpaid, but for me, then, beatingsome justice out of an inept, uncaring,bungling bureaucracy for fisher folkin need was reward enough in itself.

One case haunts me still, though.An elderly Japanese-Canadian couplehad been pursuing the unemploy-ment benefits they were entitled tofor almost two years, in the face ofrelentless bureaucratic stonewalling.

An anonymous source within thesystem alerted me to their plight. Thecouple were lifelong fishers who,having survived the injustices of thewar, internment, and confiscation of

all their property, like most Japanese-Canadians, they eventually rebuilttheir lives and carried on, uncom-plaining.

Such was my knowledge, contacts,and success rate at the time that I wasable to settle the issue with a stra-tegically placed phone call, almostimmediately. The decision denyingthem was reversed, and in short orderthey received a cheque for retroactivebenefits, and I proudly carved anothernotch on the handle of my metaphori-cal sword.

That however is not the end of thestory, just the beginning. The wifesent me a personal cheque for $2,500!

I was both surprised and pleased.I had visions of using the money tostart an advocacy training program todevelop other bureaucratic — samu-rai warriors to even the odds in thelonely fight I was engaged in.

I talked to the vice president of theUFAWU about my ideas, and to myconsternation he advised me I shouldreturn the money, lest it becomebelieved that to get justice through theunion, members had to cross my palmwith silver.

Two hours of angry debate later hepersuaded me that he was right, butthat isn’t the end of the story either.

Even though, at that point in mylife, I had all the sensitivity of “abrick going through a plate glass

window,” as one friend put it, I wassufficiently aware to know that this isvery proper, old-school couple wouldbe offended if I simply returned theirgift.

And this is where the story reallybegins because what I did was crossthe lane behind my home and knockon my neighbour’s door for advice.My neighbour has a similar historyyet, far from bitter, she is a gracious,generous, dignified, and honourablelady. She advised me to visit thecouple, to take my wife and newborndaughter with me, and to explain whyI could not accept this gift: that itwould compromise the U.F.A.W.U.’shonour, that it would compromise mypersonal honour, something I wasn’treally giving due weight to, and to askfor their understanding.

I took my neighbour’s advice and,over tea, that was exactly how thescenario unfolded.

However, every year for severalyears, on my daughter’s birthday, acard and a small cheque arrived fromthese generous people. The chequewas added to my childrens’ educationfund but it must be clear that it wasme that got educated.

Honour is quite different frompride. It is a lesson I’m still chewingon.

A pump station at the foot of No. 3 Road south isgetting $450,000 upgrade aimed at reducing the risk offlooding.

The upgrade includes new screens to prevent leavesand wood debris from clogging the drainage pump sys-tem, which pumps water from the city’s storm sewersystem when it rains into the Fraser River.

The funding comes from three levels of governmentwith Ottawa, Victoria and Richmond each contributing$150,000.

“Richmond families and businesses don’t want

to have to worry about flooding, and through theseupgrades, we’re alleviating those concerns,” saidRichmond East MLA Linda Reid.

Audi A7 is Porsche Panamera LiteAUDI

The all-new Audi A7 Sportback is afresh approach to luxury car design.

What you see is an extremely attractivefour-door coupe. Less obvious is a fifthrear door/hatch that allows wagon-like util-ity and the A7’s hidden, lightweight yetvery rigid body structure.

“Audi buyers typically place a higheremphasis on the esthetics of the car,” saidCort Nielsen, public relations manager,Audi Canada.

While big in its physical dimensions,the A7 weighs in at 1,695 kg (3,737 lbs).it’s powered by a potent yet highly efficientV6 engine with hybrid-like fuel economytechnology that’s mated with an advancedQuattro drive system with a torque-vector-ing rear differential.

The Audi A7 could be described as aPorsche Panamera Lite: all the goodnesswithout the calories! It’s a little wider thana Panamera but very close in every otherexternal measurement, including wheel-base.

They both have five doors, a coupe-likebody design and a concealed tail spoilerthat automatically deploys at high speed.The A7, however, is expected to be abouthalf the price of a Panamera.

Over at Mercedes-Benz, the CLS isanother vehicle that is likely to be cross-shopped with the A7. An attractive four-door sedan with a coupe roofline, pricingfor the CLS starts at $88,500.

Key design elements of the A7 are itslong hood, long wheelbase and short bodyoverhangs. Another is what’s call a “tor-nado line” or body crease that starts at the

headlights, extends along the side, gentlyslopes towards the tail lights and thenextends across the rear.

Most of the A7’s body skins are made ofaluminum, including the fenders, the lidsand doors.The A7 also comes with frame-less door glass, side mirrors with integratedLED turn signals and LED taillights.

Its covert rear spoiler automaticallyappears at 130 km/h and retracts again at80 km/h, or you can activate it (any time)via a button on the dash.

Up front the grille is unmistakably Audi,with some subtle changes shared with thenew A8.

The A7 comes standard with“xenon plus technol-ogy” headlightsand a newall-weatherlight, inte-gratedinto theheadlight.Radarsensors,for itsoptional adaptivecruise control (with stop-and-go function), occupy theusual fog light locations.

An adaptive headlight system with LEDheadlights is also available. These long-lifeheadlights are extremely energy-efficientand emit a white light that’s easier on eyes.

The system also includes variable head-light range control (low/high beam), whichuses a small camera on the interior mirrorto detect the lights of approaching vehiclesor communities.

A unique feature of the adaptive head-light control unit is its link with the MMI

navigation plus system. The navigation sys-tem sends advance route data to the lightcomputer and it can do stuff like automati-cally switching on a cornering light beforeentering an intersection.

Audi’s signature daytime running lightsare strips of 18 LED lights that give theappearance of a curved band on the loweredge of each headlight assembly.

And below them are the turn signals,another strip of (11) LED lights. Thepower-operated rear hatch extends up intothe A7’s roofline and when open exposes a

large fully carpeted luggage compartment.It offers 535 litres of cargo space and

when the 60:40 split rear seatbacks arefolded down it increases to 1,390 litres,which is almost 50 cubic feet.

Inside, the A7 offers luxurious form-fitseating for four with separate zone climatecontrols for all positions. As we’ve cometo expect from Audi, the interior layout issuperb and the materials used and crafts-manship are second to none.

The new (optional) layered oak veneertrim not only looks rich and refined, it hasa textured natural feel. But it’s not until you

slide into the driver’s seat you start torealize the amazing onslaught of

dash… it sounds odd, butlooks cool.

The athleticism of theA7 quickly became evidenton the mostly narrow andtwisty roads of northernSardinia.

Our route was mainlyinland, through a mountain-ous part of the island andwe went as far north asthe town of Palau, whichhas car ferry connectionsto Corsica and the Italianmainland.

The Canadian A7 willcome with a 3.0 litre TFSIV6 engine and the latestQuattro all-wheel-drivesystem. Audi’s engine phi-losophy equates to “smalleris better” and it uses forcedinduction and direct injec-tion to achieve maximumpower output.

The blower on thisengine is a supercharger

and it uses two downstreamintercoolers to cool thecompressed air.

All of which allows the3.0 litre to produce up to300 horsepower and 325lb-ft of torque availablebetween 2,900 and 4,500rpm.

It’s a smooth and quiet-revving engine that allowsthe A7 to sprint to 100km/h in just 5.6 seconds,according to Audi.

An auto-stop featureturns the engine off whenthe vehicle stops andinstantly restarts the enginewhen the driver’s footreleases from the brakepedal.

The fuel savings alloweda combined Euro fueleconomy rating of 8.2litres/100 km. Final fig-ures for Canada will comelater. Two diesel enginechoices are also offered inthe European A7 and we

were very impressed by the3.0 TDI. Quiet, responsiveand gobs of low-end torquemake it a very pleasant and

easy vehicle to drive – Ihope it makes it to Canadasomeday.

The Audi A7 Sportbackwill be available in Europethis fall; however, CanadianAudi dealerships don’t getit until the second quarterof next year.

“It will probably beoffered with two packages,a Premium and an S-Lineand there will be standalone options,” according toNielsen.

“And expect prices to bebetween A6 and A8.”

This would put it inthe high $60,000 to mid$70,000 range.

Auto-stop: Engine shuts offwhen car stops to save fuel

The new Audi A7 has lots of muscle, but an automatic shut-off systtem that turns theengine off when you stop makes it fuel efficient.

Do you listen to whatyour body is telling you?

Allowing ourselves timeto heal is not something mostof us do, or even know weshould do.

Do you listen to yourbody when it’s hurting or doyou switch to ignore mode?If you were to stop and bemindful right now, could youidentify one experience inyour life that requires heal-ing?

If we can give ourselvespermission to heal our bodiesand our hearts then we candiscover peace in our life.I’ve heard many people talkabout how busy and tiredthey are and yet they don’ttake the time to simply stopand rest their body.

Our body is a gift to hon-our but more often than not,we loose sight of the respon-sibility we have to look afterit and listen to the signals itgives us.

What do you put yourbody through on any givenday, how do you handle thestress or the pain it is carry-ing?

I remember someone oncetelling me life is not a dressrehearsal and that we don’tget to roll back time and do

it all over again.When we begin to have

pain or other symptoms inour body sometimes it canbe that we have not beenmindful about what needsattention and then it startsto show up in our bodies insome form.

There’s a great book byLouise Hay called, You canheal your life. More than 35million copies have been soldthroughout the world and itexplains how our beliefs andideas about ourselves areoften the cause of our emo-tional problems and physicalmaladies and how, by usingcertain tools, we can changeour thinking and our lives forthe better.

When we are feelingpain in our body from an ail-ment or grieving the loss ofa relationship, a job, a lovedone, many people don’t allowthemselves to go through theprocess of feeling, they do

CommunityHeart: Open it up, feel moreeverything they can to avoid‘the feeling’.

Yet when you consciouslyremain open to feel and healthe wounds of your heart oryour body, it allows you tocontinue on with your lifefrom a healthy perspectiverather than burying the feel-ing somewhere deep inside.

At some point, whateveris wanting your attentionis going to come up again,whether you meet it now orlater. We have the capacity toopen to what our body is tell-ing us without dramatizingthe experience by letting thefeeling be present and movethrough your body in a mind-ful way.

Certain feelings andexperiences can make someof us feel vulnerable and yet

when we allow ourselves tobe totally vulnerable that’swhen the healing can takeplace.

We can also have thoughtsor perceived ideas abouthow much time is allowedfor healing to occur for ourbodies or our hearts, but thetruth is nature has a way forhealing to occur on its ownagenda.

When people have lost aloved one sometimes there isa sense we should be throughthe grieving stage within acertain time frame but thereis no “should,” all of us expe-rience grief and loss in dif-ferent ways.

When we love someoneand they leave our life thereis no time limit of when ourheart will be healed, we can’tknow, but by allowing grief

to be present for as long ashealing needs to take placewithout judgement, then thatalone can be healing in andof itself.

Begin to pay attentionand be mindful of what yourbody is trying to tell youand listen to it. Your bodyis filled with such wisdomand the more we trust whatour body is trying to tell usrather than what our thoughtsare projecting, the healthierour lives can become.

The body is a window toour soul, listen to it, trust itand give it your attention.Simply love yourself throughit all, then see what happens.

Though you shouldn’teven consider having aromantic relationship withyour doctor, an office visit isa lot like speed dating.

Time is limited. In fact,the average office visit isabout 12 minutes. Visits areeven quicker in walk-in clin-ics.

Yet you wouldn’t wantto rush through importantissues. You want the doctorto have all the informationnecessary to make the right

diagnosis, and you need tohave enough informationto make the right decisions.That’s essential for informedconsent. In medicine and dat-ing, consent is everything.

We all have our lists butwe aren’t always upfront withthem. Hiding your list mightbe a good idea when you’redating but not when you’revisiting the doctor. We like toknow what we have to workwith right at the beginning.

It helps us to plan ourtime, so that we’re not rush-ing through extra problemsin a couple of minutes.The agenda for your office

visit should be shared.Sometimes, there isn’tenough time to deal with anadditional issue requiring acareful workup. The two ofyou will have to agree on atime to address this.

Doctors make more mis-takes when they’re rushed.First impressions aren’t goodenough. We first need timeto listen to your story. If weinterrupt that story early,we’ll miss out on importantclues to the correct diagno-sis.

We also need the time toask open-ended questions asopposed to close-ended ques-tions that require yes, no orone-word answers.

The former providesmuch more information.The latter often confirms orrefutes what we are suspect-ing.

When doctors are rushed,they tend to narrow down

the diagnosis early and movefrom open to close-endedquestions prematurely. It’slike meeting a guy with onlyone thing on his mind.

If you think your doctormight have made up his mindabout you and your problemstoo early, you can ask thosecrucial questions, “What elsecould it be?” or “What’s theworst thing it could be?”

Those questions canremind doctors to secondguess their diagnosis andensure that they have consid-ered the other possibilities.

On Sunday, Nov. 14,World Diabetes AwarenessDay, I will be speakingfor the Canadian DiabetesAssociation at the Marriottdowntown on “Improvingthe Patient-PhysicianRelationship.”

Dr. Davidicus Wongis a family physician atPrimeCare Medical.

For high school students, doing well on their !nalexams is a top priority since success on their !nals isthe key to higher education. However, facing exams ofsuch importance can cause stress and sleepless nights.So what can students do to feel less anxious and morecon!dent about their upcoming tests? The answer issimple: they must prepare, review, and practice the rightway.Unfortunately, many students don’t inherently knowhow to study, and because effective study skills are notusually taught in school, many students are not gettingthe most out of their study time. The result is last-minute cramming instead of in-depth and meaningfulpreparation.A recognized test-preparation program is thereforea wise choice to help students make the best use ofthe months and weeks leading up to their !nals. Sucha program will also help students on the day of theexam, helping them to focus on critical elements,prioritize, manage the allotted exam time, and avoid thedisappointment of an un!nished test.

Final exams are seldom $"!# exams. In fact, they oftenopen doors to something bigger. Oxford Learning’sAdvantage™ High School Success program teachesstudents the skills and strategies to ace their tests. Theseare precisely the skills that will help students excel incollege or university. Students who retain the criticalthinking, analysis, and integration skills they gainedfrom the Advantage™ program will undoubtedly havean advantage in their post-secondary and professionallives. It all begins with higher exam scores and Oxford’sAdvantage program is the best way to get them.Founded in 1984, Oxford Learning Centre helps studentsof all ages improve study and academic skills. With ourhelp, your child can learn how to better manage his orher time, take effective notes, learn how to best preparefor tests and exams and more!

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Nov. 14 - Nov. 20★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: Your last week ofmystery, Aries – and of chances to benefit fromothers’ largesse or deep pockets. Here are somekeywords for action within this arena: Invest,capitulate, confess, fix health, rest Sunday to Tuesdaydawn. Ignore an acquaintance’s advice! Pay, buy,sell, “stamp” agreements, embrace or make peacewith someone, inventory your possessions Friday/Saturday. Governments, courts, institutions, lawyers,travel matters, publishers, head office, partners,antagonists, mate, public, opportunities, agreements– all these, indecisive or inactive in recent months,finally march forward.Taurus April 20-May 20: Relationships remainimportant.Studyopportunities,agreements,relocationprospects, competition and whether you shouldjoin ‘em or fight ‘em. But don’t study too long – actsoon – or immediately (Monday daytime, Wednesdayeve, dawn Thursday right through Saturday). Recentdelays in work, employment, machinery and healthzones end Thursday. Longer delays (since July) alsoend, in social, planning, sexual, investment, financialand lifestyle zones. Get going – reach out! Happiness,flirtation, social delights, even love arrive Sunday/Monday. Rest midweek. You shine Friday/Saturday!Gemini May 21-June 20: Your last week of workand drudgery, Gemini. Soon, new horizons will arrive!Meanwhile, tackle chores. Buy or repair machinery,vehicles. Adjust diet, nutrition, health regimens. Yourcareer is highlighted Sunday to Tuesday dawn. Beambitious – you could net a promotion; VIPs, bosses orparents will approve of or aid your projects, proposals.Optimism, friendship, entertainment enter Tuesdayp.m. through Thursday: avoid intellectual or ethicaldisputes at work. Rest, retreat Friday/Saturday. Fourmonths of delays end in negotiations, partnerships,relocation, career and “judgment.”

Cancer June 21-July 22: You start this romanticweek with mellow wisdom, Cancer. After this,romance dies down briefly, then will return againby month’s end, into January – but in that nextphase it will be more volatile, demand more criticalchoices. So enjoy this pleasure-filled, non-pressureweek! (You might be dealing with creative projects,vacation, charming kids, beauty, hobbies, sports,rather than romance.) A legal, media, educational ortravel solution arrives Monday, especially if you chaseit. Buy tickets. Be ambitious Wednesday/Thursday.Happiness, wish fulfilment arrive Friday/Saturday!Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Four-month delays in bigfinancial areas (investments, debts, mortgages, otherpeople’s money,business funding) and in sex, intimatecommitments, lifestyle changes, research and deephealth (e.g., surgery) end now. Shorter and lessimportant delays in mail, communications, telephoneinstallation, career projects, travel and paperwork(especially re: property) end now. Push forward to endthings and to plant a new life. Seek funding, suggestsettlements, let go of one lifestyle and grasp another,especially Monday. Legal, travel, love and intellectualaffairs succeed Wednesday/Thursday.Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: An easy, enjoyable week,Virgo. The general accent lies on communications,paperwork, travel, errands and details. Long delaysend in relationships and opportunities – the best,luckiest, appear Monday to pre-dawn Tuesday, andThursday. (If they don’t appear, create and chasethem!) One opportunity might entail abandoninga job. Life’s depths flow in Tuesday p.m. throughThursday: a relationship becomes intimate, youfollow opportunity with commitment, money or apromise. Revealing facts surface. (Especially if youturn over a rock or two.) Wisdom, gentle love arriveFriday/Saturday.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Continue to chase money,earn it, use it, spend it. Machinery, tools, vehiclesare a great buy Monday (AFTER dawn). In SeymourNarrows, B.C., there used to be a huge underwaterhazard called “Ripple Rock” that caused wrecks for250 years, and prevented efficient ferry traffic. Finally,in 1958, the government blew it up. Your relationshipsmight hold such a deep, hidden rock. Pluto’s downthere now (2008 to 2024) trying to eradicate it. It’s“there”Tuesday night – but not Wednesday/Thursday,when love and partnership opportunities soar! Work,financial, sexual and intimate delays end.Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Your energy, charismaand effectiveness remain high – and this luckyweek speeds you toward your goals! Start majorprojects, seek attention, ask favours, display yourtalents. Delays that have frustrated you for monthsin creative, speculative, romantic zones – and shorterdelays in partnership, relocation and/or government-related zones – all end now. You ride a winning streakSunday to Tuesday – romance, speculation, creativity,all reward. Take a risk! Tackle work mid-week. You’llsucceed. Relationships confront you Friday/Saturday– smooth co-operation, money agreements prevail.Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: This is your lastweek of seclusion, Sage. Rest deeply, as next weekyou’ll burst into new projects, situations and hopes.The more you rest now, the more energy you’ll havethen – and the more chores and obligations youclear away now, the lighter and more free you’ll be– when it counts. This is a great week, considering.Everything revolves around your domestic situationSunday to Tuesday: Monday holds property, securityluck. Romantic notions tease and please mid-week.You might make a “backyard” friend. Work, healthFriday/Saturday. Personal, domestic and socialdelays end.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The accent remains onwish fulfilment,popularity, social delights, light romanceand entertainment. You feel optimistic about yourfuture; this is a great week to make plans. Do errands,paperwork, communicate and travel Sunday to Monday.Monday to Thursday favours communications aboutmoney – and money information. Read, ask questions,follow your curiosity. Past frustrating delays end inall these areas (especially in obtaining information,especially from government and large corporations).Home, midweek. Romance, pleasure, creative surgesFriday/Saturday – take a chance!Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: You’re still in a generalambition cycle, for another eight days. Act early– Sunday to Tuesday favour chasing money, seekinga pay raise, cultivating new clients, etc. Monday’sbest. Communications, errands, details, travel, casualacquaintances stymie you Tuesday, but they bringinterest, happy social interludes (Wednesday) and someintriguing money ideas (Thursday). This week ends afour-month delay in earnings, purchasing power, anddealing with possessions. Beware a bit of deceptionfrom higher-ups midweek. Head home Friday/Saturdayfor a rejuvenating rest – excitement’s coming!Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Love, understanding,higher learning, far travel, publishing, religion, culturalinvolvements – these are still your main theme.Your energy and magnetism surge upward Sundayto Tuesday – and your luck soars Monday. Takeadvantage, get something done, propose, impresssomeone! Chase money Tuesday eve to Thursday– your idea factory might be a little wobbly, but yourpractical instincts are right, especially Wednesday. Thisweek ends four months of delay in your ambitions.A lotof that delay emerged from your own indecision: thatends too. Light friends, heavy info, Saturday.
