Six residents listed for Nov. 2 Tuff byelection ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Tofino voters will be looking at a robust ballot when they head to the polls to vote in the town’s Nov. 2 municipal byelection.

Immediately following Friday’s 4 p.m. nomination deadline, Tofino’s district office announced six candidates—Stephen Ashton, Craig Heber, Dan Law, Ronnie Lee, Omar Soliman and Cathy Thicke—had put their names forward for the councillor seat that has been vacant since the sudden and tragic death of Coun. Dorothy Baert in July.

The impressive list suggests a valuable increase in municipal interest and participation in Tofino, which last held a byelection in 2013 where Josie Osborne was the only candidate and was acclaimed as the town’s mayor following the resignation of Perry Schmunk.

With the six candidates officially announced, residents have until Oct. 1 to formally challenge any candidate’s eligibility to run. The deadline for candidates to remove their name from the ballot is Oct. 4. The campaign period officially kicks off on Oct. 5.

Advance Voting Day will be held on Oct. 23 and General Voting Day is on Nov. 2.

The candidates will have a chance to make their pitch to the community at an All Candidates Meeting that the Tofino Long Beach Chamber of Commerce has scheduled for Oct. 16 at 7 p.m.

A Ucluelet man is recovering after being bitten by a bat.

Gilbert Deforge told Black Press Media he was hanging out by a late-night fire with friends on Sept. 19 when he felt a sudden burning pain on his leg.

He ran inside to roll up his sweatpants and have a look, and found two puncture marks.

A bat had been flying around the fire, but Deforge said he didn’t think it would bite him without being provoked.

Thinking he’d been bitten by a spider, his wife called him an ambulance and he was rushed to hospital in Tofino.

After speaking with doctors, he realized “it would have to have been a three-foot-by-threefoot spider” to give him that bite.

He was told he’d probably been bitten by the bat, and given half a dozen shots in case the bat had rabies.

“That was brutal,” he said.

He was due for his last shot on Oct. 2.

“Other than that, I’m feeling pretty good,” he said, adding that his leg is still a bit swollen and sore.

Doctors told him to watch for symptoms of

rabies such as hallucinations, restlessness or muscle spasms. He also had a CT scan and doctors said he seemed out of the woods.

Still, he said it was a good thing he went to the hospital so quickly. “It could have been a lot worse.”

Back in May, a man died after coming into contact with a bat, also on Vancouver Island.

His infection was the first case of human rabies in the province since 2003.

According to the Ministry of Health, about 13 per cent of bats tested in the province come back positive for rabies.

Anyone who comes in contact with a bat should immediately wash the area with soap and water, even if there is no obvious bite or scratch, and consult a healthcare provider immediately for a vaccine to prevent infection.

Deforge said he is worried about his dog getting bitten as well, considering bats’ recent “very strange behaviour.”

He said he’s seen them swoop down at deer near his property, and that his landlord has complained of bats dive as if to attack.

“If they’re going to attack people, they’ll definitely attack a pet,” he said. “Obviously something is going on with them. They need to be checked.”

Inspirational Cops for Cancer team rocks through West Coast NORA O’MALLEY nora.omalley@westerlynews.ca

Vancouver Island’s 2019 Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock team made haste over Sutton Pass and around Kennedy Lake on Saturday, arriving in Ucluelet at around 2:30 p.m., about 30-minutes ahead of schedule.

The team of 24 RCMP officers and paramedics started their 1,100-kilometre bike ride in Port Alice on Sept. 21 and had covered roughly 605-kilometres and visited about 12 communities before rolling into the Ucluelet Co-op parking on Sept. 28 for a community head shaving event.

Team member Dayne Lyons of the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP said the amazing weather made for easy riding.

“It was sunny all the way through.

It hasn’t always been that way in the past. We were very fortunate to have an amazing sunny day to really keep us going,” said Lyons.

Cydney MacNeill, representing the Nanaimo RCMP Detachment, said they are a really fast team.

“We just push really hard. Whenever we show up somewhere we’re getting told, ‘You’re 10-minutes early, you’re 18-minutes early’,” said MacNeill, adding that she tells everyone to slow down.

“It’s quite emotional when you’re pushing yourself so hard physically. It’s always such an emotional

Sometimes, we don’t expect it and you find ourselves balling or crying,” MacNeill told the Westerly News during Saturday’s fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society.

“I call the kids little warriors because they are brave and they are battling. For us it’s just a bike ride, it’s nothing compared to what they have to go through.

On all of our T-Shirts it says ‘For the Kids’ and we just remember, it’s for the kids, it’s for the kids, it’s for the kids,” she said.

“These little ones… It’s a disease that doesn’t discriminate. Until we find a cure, children and adults a like are fighting,” said MacNeill.

About a dozen local kids and adults shaved their heads in the Ucluelet Co-op parking lot on Saturday to raise money for Camp Good Times and to raise awareness for pediatric cancer research. Cindy Kunz, owner of Cindy Bear’s Daycare, donated her long locks to help make a wig for cancer patients and Co-op Gas Bar manager Mike Martin buzzed off a full mane for his mom.

“It feels refreshing. I’ll save a lot of shampoo now,” said Martin.

Gaylene Thorogood, a 2016 Tour de Rock rider, is organizing a West Coast Regimental Ball on Oct. 5 at the Best Western Tin Wis. All the proceeds raised from this special night will help fund research to eradicate childhood cancer and improve the lives of children and their families through Cops for Cancer supported programs, like Camp Good Times.

“On the West Coast alone, the Cops for Cancer bike ride has raised well over $30,000 every year to allow children suffering from Cancer to participate in a great camping experience surrounded by caring and loving people,” said Thorogood, the Chair of the West Coast Regimental Ball Committee.

“We believe that hosting a formal evening with all of the ceremony of our historic Mounted Police will create unforgettable memories.

Time honoured traditions such as piping in the head table, toasts to historical patrons, the Grand March preceding the first dance and the glorious visual of scarlet and gold will give one the sense of true Canadian history. Again, all proceeds will be going to the Canadian Cancer Foundation,” she said.

B.C. VIEWS

Province showing clear signs it’s heading for deficits The annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention is usually a non-event for cosmopolitan Vancouver. A little more downtown congestion added to the cruise ship traffic, an extra bump in already high hotel prices, more demand for taxis.

It’s usually a yawner for the city media too, lots of rural problems and dry financial discussions.

That changed briefly last week, as a convoy of hundreds of logging trucks descended on the downtown convention centre, from as far north as Prince George and down through the Cariboo and Okanagan-Similkameen. They honked and rolled for hours, getting brief attention from TV cameras.

The industry doesn’t seem very organized, one urban observer said. I replied that “the industry” in this case is out-of-work independent contractors spending hundreds of dollars they need for their next truck payment on fuel to stage

The long-dormant pulp mill there was officially shuttered in February, its small maintenance crew laid off. The NDP government has looked desperate on the forest crisis, suspending its caribou protection plan, appointing an apologist MLA to go on yet another listening tour, and then this horribly short-sighted cancellation of a modest diversification program.

And while $25 million provides a hand up for some little towns, it’s a drop in the bucket for Finance Minister Carole James.

Tofino Hatchery volunteers will begin their annual egg collection this month thanks to vital emergency funding from the Pacific Salmon Foundation.

Hatchery manager Doug Palfrey told the Westerly News he feared the hatchery would not be able to operate this season because its 28-year-old water aeration tower was in need of replacement.

“The concrete was broken, the wood was rotten and it just needed a total rebuild,” he said, adding he had informed the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada that he was unwilling to operate the hatchery any further unless the tower was replaced.

“I was not going to take that chance of having eggs in here,” he said. “The tower was leaning, the pipes were bending, the valves were stressed.”

He said DFO declined to

“That’s phenomenal service. I can’t speak highly enough of Pacific Salmon Foundation,” he said. “They really have their finger on the

pulse on the needs, especially of the volunteer hatcheries.

They’re understanding of the needs of small operations like ours.”

The money covered the cost of the materials and volunteers made quick work of building the tower and connecting it to the hatchery’s infrastructure in time.

The tower stands roughly

three metres high and is an essential component of the hatchery as it feeds water to the incubation systems. .

“We’re very different than other hatcheries being that we are on a water line from Meares Island, we don’t have a river here. The water passes through a couple kilometers in a pipeline,” he said. “The water has to be run through the aeration system so that the fish can utilize it.”

The hatchery has been in operation since 1984 with Palfrey and volunteers working tirelessly to try to reverse the troubling trend of vanishing salmon populations.

Palfrey said those efforts are imperative because of the “dire straits” of Chinook salmon stocks.

“The Chinook numbers are extremely low in Clayoquot Sound and have been for a number of years,” he said. “It’s sort of sped along over the last few years…

They’re up against a lot of hurdles. “

Queen of the Peak highlights strong surf culture All-female competition celebrates 10th annual appearance at Cox Bay this weekend ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

The West Coast’s iconic all-female surf competition will fill Cox Bay with a revelrous showcase of the powerfully unique surf scene this weekend.

The tenth annual Queen of the Peak will rule local waves from Oct. 4-6.

Over 130 athletes have signed up to compete at this year’s event, which includes a Princess of the Peak category for surfers 16 and under and a new Master’s Division for surfers over 40.

The massive roster of competitors illustrates the event’s impressive and organic growth since it was first launched by Surf Sister Surf School and Shelter Restaurant in 2009.

Krissy Montgomery of Surf Sister told the Westerly News that the idea for an all femalsurf

“The contest is a great way for us to celebrate our unique surf scene in Tofino.”

– Krissy Montgomery competition was hatched during a conversation between herself and Shelter’s Jay Gildenhuys during the lead up to that year’s Cold Water Classic, which only allowed male entrants.

“He wondered if it bothered myself or any of my ‘surf sisters’ that the contest was for men only. My reply was that women are so used to getting ‘shafted’ during surf competitions that we didn’t really care. This upset him as, for [Gildenhuys], one of the things that makes

COMMUNITY CALENDAR

the Tofino surf scene stand out is the amount of women that participate in the sport and surf lifestyle here,” Montgomery explained.

“Together we talked about how, if we reverse-engineered a contest that addresses all the reasons why women don’t typically participate, we were sure that we could get women excited about contest surfing here. Also, the timing was perfect, so we hustled and put the contest together so it ran as a single day event the day before the Cold Water Classic. It was our way of showing how distinct our surf scene is here and how high the level of talent is on the female side of surfing as opposed to just the men.”

She said profound support from the West Coast communities as well as the athletes themselves helped that inaugural event transform into the three-day competition and weeklong celebration of the local surf scene that Queen

of the Peak has become.

“The contest has been a great stage to showcase athletes and raise the bar of surfing in Canada,” she said. “The contest is a great way for us to celebrate our unique surf scene in Tofino. We get to showcase the level of talent and set the stage for athletes to shine. It’s a great way to connect with your neighbours and show support for your sisters, wives, friends and children. It’s about tearing down stereotypes and celebrating a healthy lifestyle and friendships.”

She encourages everyone to check out the action over the weekend, cheer the competitors on and enjoy the beach festivities and added that merchandise will be available with proceeds going towards funding the annual event.

SUPER NFLAaVOtUuRSrOFaBCl Proudly HANDCRAFTED

www.westerlynews.ca

Former federal Conservative leader and PM-fora-minute Kim Campbell once said, “an election is no time to discuss serious issues.”

That quote came to epitomize her ill-fated 1993 campaign, which saw a 156-seat Conservative majority reduced to just two seats, neither of which was her riding of Vancouver Centre.

Campbell claimed her words had been taken out of context, and what she meant to say was that 43 days is not enough time to resolve complex issues.

The clarification fell flat, but that episode highlights the tricky task facing all party leaders in 2019: articulating their visions on the campaign trail.

As American Democratic Party pollster Stanley Greenberg recently said: “Those who figure out what the fight is actually about are able to set the agenda and motivate voters to get involved and choose a side.”

So what is Canada’s 2019 election campaign all about? Are voters motivated by pocketbook issues, such as taxes and the economy, or will they focus on character and look to elect their preferred prime minister? My bet is that other more intangible issues, like dealing with climate change, will eventually decide the outcome.

Leadership At the core of most campaigns is the image and name of the leader, and polling suggests the Conservatives are struggling.

Even during the Liberals’ worst days of the campaign so far, polling showed the Liberal vote dropped by a few percentage points, but the preference for Justin Trudeau over Andrew Scheer remained.

Leadership-based elections, such as the 2015 vote that focused on defeating Harper, revolve around assessments of “character.” But do the Trudeau blackface incidents speak to Canadians about his alleged hypocrisy, as the Conservative attack ads claim? Not according to the polling data.

Motivation The Conservative Party of Canada could not have hoped for a more embarrassing revelation, because it ties into a central part of their election strategy: to keep the Liberal turnout low and motivate their own base. If the CPC gets out the same level of vote as in 2015, but Liberal turnout is lower by about 10 per cent, Scheer wins. Yet three out of four Canadians surveyed recently by Abacus Data said they were

content with Trudeau’s apology or didn’t care about the issue and wanted to move on. Of the one-quarter who felt it was unacceptable, most of them were already Conservative supporters.

So a majority of Canadians want to “turn the page” and move on to other issues.

Party platforms This election offers a clear choice in platforms and policies, but only two parties can realistically form government: the Conservatives and the Liberals.

The CPC has stressed the importance of personal advancement, while the Liberals have framed the vote as a collective choice about which direction we want to go.

Is the 2019 election about you getting ahead?

Or is it about choosing a direction for the country?

The economy So far, the message about Canadians needing to get ahead is resonating in some parts of the country where the economy has struggled, like Alberta. But in B.C., where the provincial economy has been quite strong, that message gets a mixed reaction.

Yes, cost of living is a concern for everyone, especially in a fast-growing economy with very high housing costs, but those concerns have declined over the past few years in B.C. So in this crucial battleground, the outcome on Oct. 21 will likely be decided less on economic issues and more on a host of other intangibles.

It’s the environment, not the economy or Trudeau In most polling conducted so far, the environment sits at the top of voter concerns, in some cases mentioned by twice as many Canadians as economic concerns.

Yet many analysts, to their detriment, try to explain away the high number of unprompted mentions of environmental concerns as an aberration.

In B.C., the environment is intimately tied with the economy and never far from the top of any conversation among voters. Its importance partially explains the early rise of Green Party support here at the federal and provincial levels.

Thus, once the page is turned on the blackface incident, all parties will have to face the challenge of crafting a credible environmental plan.

Climate strikes, school walkouts and the instant celebrity of advocates like Swedish 16-year-old activist Greta Thunberg suggest we may have reached a tipping point in public consciousness. If so, how each party intends to tackle climate change could in fact decide who governs Canada.

Young Tofino locals filled Tofino’s Village Green on Friday to protest what they believe has been a lack of action against climate change. Marches were held in both Tofino and Ucluelet.

CLIMATE MARCH

Hundreds of students and supporters marched through Tofino and Ucluelet on Sept. 27 to raise awareness and demand urgent action to address the climate change crisis. Climate Marches were held across the globe in unison to push for green energy solutions, a reduction in carbon emissions, and a reduction in single-use plastics. The movement was motivated by 16-year-old Swedish activist Greta Thunberg.

Alberni fugitives confessed, planned to flee Police describe video messages recorded by Bryer Schmegelsky and Kam McLeod ASHLEY WADHWANI ashley.wadhwani@bpdigital.ca

Bryer Schmegelsky and Kam McLeod, the two fugitives at the centre of the summer’s nationwide manhunt, had plans to hijack a boat in Hudson’s Bay and flee to Europe or Africa after killing three strangers and contemplated killing others.

That’s according to a new report released by the RCMP on Friday, including details of the men’s videotaped confession to all three northern B.C. homicides and further insight into the two-week search that gripped the country and ended in the discovery of their bodies in the dense bush of rural Manitoba.

Schmegelsky, 18, and McLeod, 19, of Port Alberni had been charged in the murder of Leonard Dyck, a university botany lecturer, whose body was found at a highway pullout on July 19. They were also suspects in the shooting deaths of American Chynna Deese and her Australian boyfriend Lucas Fowler, who were found on a highway near Liard Hot Springs on July 15.

At a news conference in Surrey, RCMP Asst. Comm. Kevin Hackett told reporters the murders appear to be have been mere crimes of oppor-

“The videos may influence or inspire other individuals to carry out a targeted act of violence, essentially creating copycat killers.”

“The videos may influence or inspire other individuals to carry out a targeted act of violence, essentially creating copycat killers,” Hackett said.

“Releasing them would not only be disrespectful to the families of the deceased – who are also concerned about the impacts of the release – and it could sensationalize the actions of the suspects.”

The first video contains what police called a confession that “lacked remorse” to all three deaths, he said, and a detailing of their plan to leave the country. The second video, 51 seconds long, is believed to have been taken after the fugitives made it to the Nelson River near Gillam, Man. Schmegelsky says the river is big and fast, according to the RCMP, and the two may have to commit suicide, to which McLeod agrees. In the third video, 32 seconds long, Schmegelsky says the two have shaved in preparation for their death. The two state they plan to “go back and kill more people and expect to be dead in a week,” police said.

The fourth video, 19 seconds long, includes a description of how the two plan to end their lives. The fifth video is believed to have been taken unintentionally, police said.

– Kevin Hackett tunity, with the working theory being that the men came across Fowler’s van and targeted the couple for some reason.

“They shot and killed the couple before continuing up into the Yukon,” Hackett said.

The men returned to B.C. a few days later because they were having car troubles, and encountered Dyck outside of Dease Lake.

They killed him, police said, then burned McLeod’s white Dodge pickup and stole Dyck’s silver Toyota RAV4, money and other personal items, and headed east.

Six videos and three photos were recovered from a camera, which belonged to Dyck, found near Schmegelsky and McLeod’s bodies. The images will not be released to the public, police said, and do not reveal any insight into motive.

In the last video, 31 seconds long, the two men describe their last will and testament and their wishes to be cremated.

Photos found on the camera included Schmegelsky with one of two SKS semi-automatic rifles later found near the bodies, an unintentional photo depicting nothing, and an apparent selfie of McLeod.Both guns found near the bodies were used in all three murders.

According to police, McLeod and Schmegelsky left Port Alberni on July 12 and purchased an SKS semi-automatic rifle and a box of 20 rounds of ammunition using McLeod’s gun license at a Cabela’s store in Nanaimo.

Families told authorities at the time that the two friends, who both worked at Walmart, had left on a road trip to find other jobs in northern B.C. and the Yukon.

Their truck and camper they were driving was found burned on July 15, a few kilometres from where Dyck’s body was discovered at a highway pullout.

The bodies of Deese and Fowler were found near the Alaska Highway, 470 kilometres from where Dyck’s body was discovered, four days later.

Schmegelsky and McLeod travelled across 3,000 kilometres quickly, ending in Gillam, Man. – the only evidence of their travels documented in surveillance footage in small towns along the way, discovered by police long after the pair had left.

Police confirmed that McLeod shot Schmegelsky before turning the gun on himself, but were unable to confirm the exact day the two men died. Their bodies were discovered on Aug. 7, just eight kilometres away from where Dyck’s stolen vehicle was found burnt in Gillam on July 24.

The police released a statement from Deese’s family, who thanked both the public and investigators for their efforts and support, as “a piece of justice has been served in knowing the conclusion of this case.”

“The loss we continue to endure is shattering, but Chynna’s memories are a benediction to her genuine happiness and intense love of life,” the statement read.

“Throughout this tragedy, along with the help of many, they serve as our reminder of the good nature and peace humanity has the capacity to show. We hope Chynna’s legacy continues to grow and her spark allows us to build each other up.”

FEDERAL ELECTION SPECIAL

Wednesday, October 2, 2019 A11

Candidates for MP discuss ocean pollution

In an effort to inform the Courtenay-Alberni riding constituents, we have supplied all candidates with a series of questions. Each week, we will publish their answers to questions pertinent to this riding. In this article, the five Courtenay-Alberni candidates answer the following question: “How do you envision your party’s role in dealing with ocean pollution and increased marine traffic along B.C.’s coast?”

(300 word maximum). Order of placement was done at random. Order will be rotated in each subsequent article.

BYRON HORNER, Conservative Party of Canada Reduce Ocean Plastics Pollution As executive producer of the Great Bear Rainforest IMAX film I was disgusted by the ocean pollution we saw while filming in B.C.’s most pristine inlets. Research shows that 99.5% of ocean plastics comes from outside of North America with 95% of ocean plastics originating from 10 rivers in Asia and Africa. As part of www.arealplan. ca, a Conservative government will: • Work with developing countries to reduce Byron Horner plastic waste.

• Ban the export of plastics waste unless proof of recycling at destination.

• Regulate plastics recycling within Canada, including extending producer responsibility.

(Currently only 12% of blue bin plastics are recycled – the rest end up in landfills. This is unacceptable.)

• Work with provinces, territories and producers to minimize plastic packaging.

End Raw Sewage Ocean Pollution In 2017, Canadian municipalities dumped 215 billion litres of raw untreated sewage. A Conservative government will prioritize the ending of raw sewage dumps into our ocean ecosystems.

Regulate Marine Shipping to Protect our Coastal Communities and Marine Life A Conservative government will work with provinces, industry and scientific experts to regulate shipping routes to reduce the impacts of shipping on marine life. A transhipment hub in Port Alberni would also reduce marine traffic in the Salish Sea. Prioritize Funding for Environmental Compliance and Enforcement Individuals and corporations who pollute our oceans must be held accountable and face real consequences. A Conservative government will increase funding for Environment Canada enforcement officers.

Real Results as an MP in Government As your MP in a Conservative government, I will have the ability to help create and pass legislation to reduce Canadian plastics that end up in landfills and oceans. The recent NDP private member’s motion on oceans plastic did not change any law or provide any funding and had zero impact – We can do better!

SEAN WOOD. Green Party of Canada Governments take action when Green representatives are elected. The Green Party will work across party lines to ensure that our government protects and restores marine ecosystems.

Tonnes of plastic enter the ocean every year

and end up floating, submerged, or sinking, often leaching and absorbing toxic chemicals and harming and killing marine life through entanglement or ingestion. Here in Courtenay-Alberni, I’ve seen first-hand the impact of plastic pollution on our beaches. Islands like Hornby and Denman struggle to clean up piles of plastic waste from both single-use plastics and fishing gear.

In addition to banning non-essential single-use Sean Wood plastics, Greens will act to protect our coasts from other plastic pollution. To reduce and mitigate plastic waste that entangles and kills marine animals, by January 2021 Greens will implement an Extended Producer Responsibility program for all companies making or selling synthetic fishing gear to fund the retrieval of lost or abandoned fishing gear and the collection and recycling of old, damaged, and recovered fishing gear.

Increased tanker traffic disrupts and endangers marine life on our coast, and the communities of Courtenay-Alberni are vulnerable to spills from fossil fuel-laden tankers. Greens will pass legislation to keep Canada’s west coast crude oil supertanker-free, ensuring both that a new West Coast oil bitumen-diluent port will not be built and that the current bitumen-diluent tanker traffic in the Port of Vancouver be rapidly phased out.

Our oceans and the species and communities that rely on them need champions in Ottawa.

I will fight on behalf of the people of Courtenay-Alberni to protect and restore marine species like wild salmon, herring, and orcas that are impacted by pollution and tanker traffic, protect our oceans from acidification driven by fossil fuel use and the risks of tanker spills, and fund measures to help our communities adapt and thrive.

TROY WHITLEY, People’s Party of Canada The PPC recognizes that its members are subject matter experts on the issues impacting their own respective regions. Rather than receiving orders from a distant bureaucrat, the PPC would instead respect the advice of the local representative.

That being said, I recognize the impact that unchecked or poorly regulated seafaring activity has in environmentally Troy Whitley sensitive areas. In many cases, this type of activity is done by those who have little interest in our coastal water health as they originate from or are destined for another country. Their fuel, garbage, and wastewater handling procedures may be far different than ours and have no respect for our waters. Furthermore, unchecked fishing on our waters or further mistreatment of our marine life is unacceptable.

The Exxon Valdez disaster may have been decades ago but it exposed how many safety regulations were ignored in the pursuit of profit.

The environment is everyone’s responsibility and it is foolish to assume that, without regulations moving in and through our waters, we can continue as things are. For too long the major parties have turned a blind eye to unsafe marine activity, believing it is the “cost of doing business”. The PPC may have no official policy for

Taurus, this week, feelings that have been simmering just under the surface come to light. Clear the air and you’ll discover everything was just miscommunication.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 It is sometimes good to look at the world through rose-colored glasses, Libra. However, do not let this cloud reality to the point that you do not see the truth.

Sagittarius, new friends come into your life this week. It’s an exciting opportunity to get to know new faces. You can benefit from expanding your social network.
