Tories defend Saxton ‘smear’ Jane Seyd

jseyd@nsnews.com

THE Conservative government is rejecting calls for North Vancouver MP Andrew Saxton to step aside as parliamentary secretary for the Treasury Board after Saxton’s name appeared in a federal court document connected with an offshore tax probe. Saxton was recently named in an afﬁdavit ﬁled by a Canada Revenue Agency investigator as authorizing the transfer of US$200,000 to a Swiss bank account for a Victoria couple when he was the Vancouver head of Credit Suisse Canada in 1994. The Swiss bank account was used by the couple as part of a scheme to evade paying taxes in Canada. The transaction is part of a larger investigation by Revenue Canada into whether other See Tax page 5

NVSD surplus property worth $100M Niamh Scallan

nscallan@nsnews.com

IT might not be a gold mine, but land values in North Vancouver mean that the North Vancouver school district is sitting on a resource worth upwards of $100-million. Members of the school district’s ﬁnance and facilities standing committee were told at a meeting Tuesday evening that a total of 12 surplus properties — mostly because of declining student enrolment — represent an opportunity to plan for the future. “We have a lot of land and we need to think about how it can be

best used for the good of the school district and our community,” said secretary treasurer Irene Young, calling on committee members to consider a “strategic surplus land plan.” According to Young, declining enrolment as well as the district’s direction toward “fewer, newer schools” resulted in the closure and combining of more schools in recent years, including the consolidation of Ridgeway Annex into Ridgeway and Balmoral into Carson Graham.

Some North Vancouver school sites are leased to daycares and independent schools, but others — like Fromme and Plymouth elementary schools — are sitting vacant. And according to Young, empty properties cost the district up to $20,000 each year. “The school district has no money to upgrade or maintain these facilities, so this is a huge problem,” she said. Young’s presentation about the need for a surplus land plan highlighted numerous options for the vacant sites, including reusing the sites for district programs and services, providing shortterm and long-term leases under ministry approval to independent schools, or selling the sites — which would also be subject to the See Affordable page 5

Doyousufferfroman impairedimmunesystem? Maintaining health is a miracle. We are continuously exposed to a great number of hazards such as viruses, bacteria, cuts and bumps, ultraviolet rays from the sun, chemical toxins, burns... and despite of that most people remain healthy. Why?

Because the body has defences able to fight against damage and disease. However, this is not always the case. Immunodeficiency, or the diminished ability to respond to pathogens, can result from malnutrition, obesity, drug use, stress, anxiety, and in other instances can be inherited or acquired. In all these cases acupuncture can be of assistance. Acupuncture is a medical system that has existed for more than 2500 years. As a therapy it involves the insertion of fine needles in specific points on the body’s surface. These points may also be stimulated by means of finger pressure, heat, or electro-stimulation, all of which are modalities related to acupuncture. Acupuncture achieves its therapeutic goals by stimulating the body’s own potential. It involves no toxic materials or drugs, is natural, safe, and very effective.

SUNDAY FOCUS Surviving Bomber Command

Jane Seyd

Tail-end Charlie

jseyd@nsnews.com

N the back of the Vickers Wellington bomber, Sgt. Mel Smith sat alone in the gunner’s turret for the long hours it would take for the “Wimpy” to ﬂy across the darkness of the North Sea.

It was cold back there and it was cramped. His emergency parachute hung on a hook outside the turret because there wasn’t room for it inside. For company there was only the loud droning of the bomber’s twin engines as it pushed through to the continent, and the occasional crackle of the other crew members’ voices through the intercom earphones. There was the silent flood of adrenaline as the Wellington flew inland towards its target, waiting for the shudder of the plane as the bomb doors opened and closed — and waiting for the searchlights that would suddenly appear, illuminating the Wimpy against the sky. “It was like being in a box of lights. It would temporarily blind the pilot,” said Smith. The lights made it easy for the Messerschmitt fighters that appeared out of nowhere, powerful German Luftwaffe fighter planes whose canons were designed to take a bomber down. “The Messerschmitt 109 — that was the great German fighter — they would be stooging around. It took us a while to get our eyes adjusted. They’d be picking us off just like killing mosquitoes,” said Smith. The title of gunner was optimistic. A gunner’s real job was as primary lookout — to identify the German fighters so the pilot of the bomber could take evasive action. A reminder of the stakes was sewn into the inside of Smith’s flight jacket — a fabric map of the territory they were flying over. “It was up to all of us, if we were shot down and survived, to try to escape and get back,” said Smith. But he and the crew knew the odds of that weren’t good either. “One blast of a 109 or 210 and you were gone,” said Smith. By comparison, the Browning .303 machine guns in his gun turret were “just glorified rifles,” said Smith. “All the (Messerschmitt) had to do was sight you and make one blast. “The Ruhr Valley was the toughest bloody target,” said Smith. “Your whole mind was on survival.” In Smith’s West Vancouver home, the yellowed pages of his logbook hold the handwritten notes from his missions in Bomber Command. Today he turns the pages of an atlas, pointing to the flight paths the bombers took into Europe and across the Mediterranean in the dark days of the Second World War. There are wartime newspaper clippings and a photo of young man in uniform. Smith said his mother made him have it taken before he went back for his second tour of duty in Europe — just in case.

Now 93, Smith is one of a small group of remaining Canadian veterans who flew in Bomber Command under the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. Under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, many of the British bomber force’s crews were made up of international airmen. Between 1940 and 1944, the bombers did much of the heavy lifting on the war effort, flying from British bases over occupied Europe and North Africa. TheirstatedaimwastobombGermanindustrial sites and munitions factories, concentrating in Ruhr Valley cities like Essen, home to the Krupps wartime armament factories and oil plants. The targets, however, were heavily defended, both from the ground and from the German fighter planes in the air. Bomber Command took huge casualties. About 12,000 aircraft were shot down and 55,500 crew killed. Of those, about 10,000 were Canadians. The bombers had the highest rate of loss among the Allies in the Second World War — similar to that of the infantry in the trenches of World War I and second only to that of German U-boat crews in the Second World War. Smith, of course, wasn’t thinking about that when he started out. “Nobody could tell you what you were getting into until you started flying,” he said. Smith — or Smitty as he was known — was in his early 20s, working in construction in Glen Haven, Nova Scotia, when the Second World War started. He tried to sign up for air crew early on but was rejected. “They said I didn’t have enough education,” he said. But soon the war started getting hotter, and the forces became less fussy with their recruits. “When the air war started, anyone with high school could get in.” He joined up in 1941, hoping to become a pilot. But Smith was told after training he wouldn’t make the cut. He was walked through the list of other crew positions on the bomber. He rejected the idea of being a wireless operator. “I hated Morse code,” said Smith. Eventually, “He said the only thing left was rear gunner. I said yes,” said Smith. Within six weeks, he was sent to England, where his training on the Wimpy began in earnest, flying over the country at night and learning to pick out identifying features in the darkened landscape below. The Wellington flew with a crew of five — a pilot, bomb aimer, navigator, wireless operator and tail gunner. Of the crew, Smith was the only Canadian. Nobody — including the pilot — had any experience to speak of. Fate intervened when their pilot was shot while tagging along on another crew’s bombing run into Germany. The bomber crew were told to report to headquarters — where they soon met their new pilot, Flight Lieutenant Paul Peters. Peters — a peacetime reserve officer, flight instructor and

For Smith, ending up with a pilot like Peters was key to surviving a tour with Bomber Command. “I shouldn’t say this, but I’m sure (with the first pilot) we wouldn’t have made more than half a dozen trips before getting shot down,” said Smith. “We didn’t have enough experience.” The bomber crew joined Squadron 427, based at RAF Croft, North Yorkshire, where they received a decidedly chilly reception as they checked into their huts. “These crews wouldn’t talk to us,” said Smith. Finally in the mess hall, he asked, “What the hell’s wrong with us?” The answer he got back was unsettling. “The last three crews who checked into the building you were in went missing on their first trip.” “I told them, ‘I’m in this war to survive,’” said Smith. “Wait until you take your first trip,” they replied. Beginning in February 1943, Smith ran five night bombing raids over the Ruhr Valley, one in a wave of bombers that would be launched each evening. “We’d bomb on pathfinder markers,” said Smith — coloured flares dropped on to the targets by Canadian-built Mosquito bombers — planes with two high-powered engines that would guide the heavier bombers in. The Wellington could carry 4,000 pounds of explosives and a full load of fuel. The crew itself never knew if their bombs actually hit their target.

At the time, “Radar was just known to the British,” said Smith. “The British still thought and hoped the enemy didn’t have it, but the enemy had it around the same time.” The result was “the radar would pick us up coming across the North Sea” and the Messerschmitts would be waiting. Smith said he never fired his own guns in the Wimpy — there was no point as the bombers were far outgunned by the German fighter planes. “The trace of my guns would only give the enemy a good bead on our position,” he said. During this time, about 70 per cent of bombers lost were shot down by the Messerschmitts. The Germans also had more than 1,000 large antiaircraft guns on the ground. “Night after night it would be 20 or 30 bombers not returning,” said Smith. As the losses mounted, there were rumours circulating too, for a time, of crews that would go out and fly around the North Sea instead of into Germany, dropping their bombs in the ocean. Those who cracked up were discharged into the army with a designation of LMF — “lack of moral fibre.” “Nobody had any experience of what they were getting into.” “They were kids,” he said. “I was in my 20s. A lot of them were 17 or 18. They were kids out of school one day and the next day in uniform. The losses were terrible.” Smith’s own European bombing raids took a detour when Peters volunteered his crew for air support in the North African campaign. They picked up a new Wellington and flew See Shot-up page 8

West Vancouver Memorial Library’s Diamond Anniversary 1950 - 2010

Following World War II, the residents of West Vancouver came together to invest money, labour, materials, services, and expertise to build a library that would commemorate those who served their country in war and the ideals that they stood for. The library would be a place of solace, a place for community gathering, a place dedicated to free access to information. Harry Greenwood, former West Vancouver Memorial Library Board Chair and Canadian Legion member, summed up the sentiment of the time aptly when he stated, "We must be mindful of the ideals for which the veterans fought and died,

and left for us to maintain and preserve. In this library and in libraries across the land, librarians have pledged to become custodians of those ideals and have taken up the cudgel in defence against censorship, protecting your right to free expression." The West Vancouver Memorial Library celebrates its 60th anniversary throughout the month of November. Everyone is invited to visit the Library to view the Book of Remembrance, enjoy the historical photo exhibit and share memories of the Library by adding to our "story wall".

New Parking Regulations in Effect at the Civic Site Parking regulations at the West Vancouver Community Centre, Aquatic Centre, Seniors' Activity Centre, and Arena are changing. The time limit for public parking – previously unlimited – now has a four-hour maximum. The regulation applies to all parking stalls, including disability stalls. The only exception is the lot in the south-east corner by the Seniors' Activity Centre. In the underground parkade, stalls reserved for Vancouver Coastal Health require a parking decal 7 am to 6 pm, Monday to Friday. Outside of these hours, the stalls are available to the public, and the four-hour time limit applies.

The lot west of 22nd and Marine Drive will continue to provide unlimited parking. For more information and maps, visit westvancouverrec.ca

Secondary Suites Program Update In March 2010, West Vancouver adopted a Secondary Suite Program to authorize secondary suites and expand the range of housing options in the community. The municipality is now considering making changes to the program that would make it more responsive to the needs of the West Vancouver community, providing more flexibility to this important housing option. Changes being considered include: • Bylaws to allow for secondary suites in non owner-occupied homes - Council is likely to consider this change in January 2011. • Establishing a deadline for legalizing existing suites - Existing suites are currently required to meet alternative life safety standards (as opposed to full compliance with the BC Building Code). Once a deadline is established, all suites will be required to comply with the full BC Building Code standards. All property owners of owner-occupied dwellings are encouraged to register their existing suites as soon as possible. Questions?

Tax investigation names MP

From page 1

clients of Credit Suisse Canada may have transferred money to accounts in Switzerland and Liechtenstein to avoid paying taxes. Before he was elected in 2008, Saxton had a career in international finance, including heading up the private banking division for the Vancouver branch of Credit Suisse Canada from 1992 until 1994. In an emailed statement, Saxton said his primary job with Credit Suisse was to “help build the Canadian wealth management business.” He said from “time to time” he would get requests from clients to transfer money between branches worldwide. But Saxton said he did not open the account for the Victoria couple referred to in the court documents. “I strongly condemn any Canadian who does not pay his or her taxes,” he said. In question period in the House of Commons Friday, Opposition MPs called for Prime Minister Stephen Harper to remove Saxton from his position on the Treasury Board in light of the investigation. “The revelations are disturbing,” said NDP finance critic Thomas Mulcair. Mulcair said the court documents show “those who authorize dubious transactions are at the heart of the Conservative government.” “He was an experienced banker and he knew perfectly well what he was doing,” Mulcair said of Saxton, describing the North Vancouver MP as a “fixer” for “tax havens.” Bloc Québécois MP Serge Cardin also demanded Saxton

be removed from his Treasury Board role, commenting, “This information is very serious.” Members of the government defended Saxton on Friday. Government house leader John Baird described the questions about Saxton’s integrity as a “drive-by smear” in the House adding, “If Canadians are using these bank accounts to avoid paying taxes” the government will go after them. Pierre Poilievre, parliamentary secretary to the prime minister, also defended Saxton, saying he has “spoken out strongly against any form of tax evasion.” The federal court case where Saxton’s name appears concerns an investigation by the Canada Revenue Agency into clients of Credit Suisse Canada who transferred money offshore to avoid paying Canadian taxes. As part of that investigation, tax investigators asked a judge to require Credit Suisse to turn over records for the period between Jan. 1, 1993 and Dec. 31, 1998 — more than 500 boxes of material. An affidavit by tax auditor Russell Lyon filed as part of the case sets out how the investigation into Credit Suisse Canada clients began after the Canada Revenue Agency learned how a Victoria couple were directed by their investment advisor to go to the Credit Suisse office and deposit a certified cheque for US$200,000 that was later transferred into a newly-opened account in Lausanne. As head of the Credit Suisse Vancouver private banking office at the time, Saxton approved and directed that transfer. Money was later moved to a “foundation” based in Liechtenstein set up to disguise the citizenship of the couple whose money it contained.

ministry’s approval. For Young, the land value of the vacant lots — if appropriately and wisely used, could provide the school district with a level of self-sufficiency and educational opportunities. She stressed that earnings from the land would not replace provincial funding, but would provide the board with the potential to create an endowment fund or support capital projects. “We are very fortunate in North Vancouver that we have this incredibly valuable land base,” she said, “and if it’s used wisely with thinking for the future, perhaps we could create an endowment fund or educational opportunities that could benefit from our land today.” Members of the finance and facilities steering committee then discussed the potential fate of the 12 sites, considering the physical condition, seismic risk, capacity and potential for expansion on

each site. Steering committee members were also asked to consider a series of “guiding principles” that could be included in the surplus land plan. Committee members agreed that community needs (such as affordable housing), environmental concerns, educational opportunities and school district concerns must be considered in the debate over the future of the vacant school properties. Some committee members suggested that, at some district properties in poor physical condition, the school district could partner with a developer to redevelop the land into affordable housing, for example, to generate revenue. “We’ve never been in a situation where we’ve had the land before and with a declining population, I think it’s a great opportunity for us to take our land and use it,” said trustee Holly Back. Young will take the steering committee’s recommendations back to the drawing board and will return with a revised list of guiding principles for the strategic surplus land plan in January 2011.

You’re not it

EEN as isolated incidents, tagging may not appear to be a big issue. A set of initials on a mailbox here, an unreadable scrawl on a utility pole there. But when it proliferates within a community, the cumulative effect becomes ugly. Sadly that is what has happened in the Deep Cove area recently. Tagging is a term that generally describes a quick-hit, spray-painted signature — usually initials, a symbol or an alias. Some tagging — often called “piecing” — has been described as a type of urban art. It can indeed be elaborate, well-designed and colourful. Whether it’s acceptable as “art” often depends upon where it has been sprayed. The recent spate of tagging in Deep Cove does not justify any such debate. It’s ugly and indiscriminate nature

you said it

“It’s very upsetting. It’s quite extraordinary in the school and in this district . . . It’s a very peaceful school, quite frankly.” West Vancouver school district superintendent Geoff Jopson reacts to the stabbing of a 16-year-old boy near West Vancouver secondary. Another student has been charged with attempted murder (from an Oct. 31 news story). ••• “. . . but it is what I invested in and it is what you told me when I came to you when I put all my money in this building.” City of North Vancouver resident Cindy Vance appeals to councillors to not allow a ﬁvestorey condominium to be built across the street from her home. Although several people’s views will be blocked, council allowed the over-height building to proceed because it will pay for a new Anavets seniors’ residence (from a Nov. 3 news story). ••• “This is a man who I think history will show was the best premier that Canada has ever had.” North Vancouver-Lonsdale MLA Naomi Yamamoto praises Premier Gordon Campbell shortly after Campbell announced he would be stepping down as party leader (from a Nov. 5 news story).

devalues — ﬁguratively and literally — the real beauty of Deep Cove. When a Cove resident can photograph 70 examples of this crap in a single day, the community clearly has a problem. At this point, it seems likely that the tagging is unrelated to gang territory marking. Which means the scarring of the community is down to an individual or two who at the least are unfulﬁlled in other areas of their lives, or worse, minimized in some fashion within either their family or peer group. Finding them isn’t the answer. Helping them is. That said, Cove residents can become part of the solution by keeping an eye open for taggers in action, and volunteering to clean up whatever they can. Useful contact numbers are in the story Ugly Tagging posted at www. nsnews.com.

Holocaust’s lesson is tolerance

This speech was ﬁrst presented at a Yom Hashoah (Holocaust memorial service) in 1999 and subsequently at the North Shore Jewish Community Centre (Har-El Synagogue) in 2009 and at St. David’s United Church.

Mark Fenster Contributing writer

MY name is Mark Fenster, Mayer Yaakov ben Shlomo. My father is Saul Fenster, Shlomo ben Mayer Yaakov of Baranoff, Poland. My mother is Diane Popowski Fenster, Dina bat Simcha Benim of Luxembourg.

As a son of two survivors of the Holocaust, I feel a very strong inner desire and responsibility to help people understand the horrors that took place then, to help in the healing of the many, many wounds that are still here today, and to do whatever I possibly can to help prevent such atrocities from ever happening again to anyone anywhere. For this speech, it was suggested to me that I could talk about the Swiss banks and how they unfairly held money from Jewish families. Or I could talk about the German payout to the survivors. In a similar light, I could discuss the current Yugoslavian conﬂict, the ongoing Irish conﬂict,

or the too many other wars, be they physical, religious or racial, continuously raging on our planet. But I don’t want to go on pointing fingers in an endless quest to lay blame in order to feel what has always become an empty, false sense of satisfaction. In March of 1942, my father was taken from his small, peaceful village in Poland to a work camp. There, he worked very hard in hopes of just surviving. Later, he was moved to other camps, including an SS camp called Puskow. The Commandant of that camp, a German Nazi SS officer, had gotten to know his inmates, and when he received his orders to send them off by train to Auschwitz, he travelled there also in order to try to persuade the officers at Auschwitz to save his workers. So, while my dad and the other prisoners stood idle just outside the gas chambers awaiting their fate, their commandant was telling the officers that these people were welltrained, good workers who could be helpful to the Third Reich. He pleaded with them in every way he could. The result: more than 150 lives were spared that day, including my dad’s, and three days later they boarded trucks and moved on to their next destination. My father’s last stop was in Buchenwald where he miraculously survived to the end of the war. And it was there that he was

liberated by American soldiers, one of whom I actually had the honour of meeting a few years ago in Montreal. His name is Leon Bass, and he was speaking at a conference of the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the concentration camps. His lecture was entitled Fighting Racism on Two Fronts. You see, Leon Bass, who I’m so proud and happy to say is now called Doctor Leon Bass, is a black man from the southern United States, and while he was ﬁghting the horrors of racism in Nazi Europe as an American comrade, he was not welcome in his own home town to sit on the same park benches, or share the same washrooms as his fellow white citizens. My mother was only one year old when she was carried in her mother’s arms as they were carted away to a Nazi holding camp in France. My grandmother, God rest her soul, heard of a brave woman who would smuggle children out of that camp and place some of them in the caring hands of French families’ homes in the south of France, and others in a make-shift orphanage; always with the hope of one day being able to reunite these families at the war’s end. This brave woman, Madame Sabine Zlatin, ﬁnally did agree to take Diane, my mother, to a safe home in Montpellier, France, where she grew up with the Palares family and was treated as one of their own — fed, clothed and loved. Madame Zlatin and the Palares were instrumental in saving so many lives with their caring hearts and homes — except for 44 children and seven guardians who See Laying page 10

There’s an app for sober second thoughts

SOMETIMES a new development occurs that seems so outrageously overdue, you wonder why God himself didn’t come up with it.

Drunken texting is not one of those developments. What’s overdue is a way to counteract its ill effects. Inebriants prone to spilling their guts in person tend to ﬁnd themselves in the physical company of the equally sloshed. Whatever inappropriate remarks they have made to each other at 3 a.m. outside the Cambie are often conveniently dismissed by both parties the next day as the distracting storm-clouds of headaches and nausea converge. Irate telephone messages caused by the time-honoured tradition of “drinkin’ and dialin’” are more lasting, since they can be saved, replayed and forwarded to others. Perhaps worst of all are bitter text messages, because they’re short, pithy, easily shared with everyone on the recipient’s contact list, and — worst of all, from my perspective — indiscriminately spelled. They are basically scream-ofconsciousness. And they’re ubiquitous. My 19-yearold daughter Petunia once confessed that she had tossed and turned one night before

Going Coastal

Kate Zimmerman ﬁnally getting up to “send out some angry texts.” Apparently some 40 per cent of texters have misdirected one of these instant notes, as well — a gaffe that even we lowly, mouthbreathing emailers know is dire. As a result of this widespread problem, there’s actually at least one entertaining website devoted to drunken texts: www.mydrunktexts. com. Picture yourself realizing, the morning after, that you’ve accidentally sent your boss one of the following msgs (all misspellings and punctuation errors original to the site): “If I don’t wake up hungover in a ditch Monday morning I will consider my halloween a failure.” “So we are lighting beer bottles on ﬁre and breaking them in half to make glasses . . .

Don’t worry . . . were wearing oven mits.” “keep an eye on me. I’m afraid that after a few more drinks I’ll ask to borrow his wheelchair.” To me, these actually seem a bit tame compared to “I was quietly enjoying my wafﬂes when he came downstairs naked, kissed me on the forehead, and thanked me for the night before, I didn’t even know anyone stayed over.” And “I just asked the contractor building my house what it would cost to put a garbage disposal in all the shower drains . . . there was a lot of judging going on.” The list of inappropriate messages sent out willy-nilly goes on for pages on the website, and obviously there are millions bouncing around the text-o-sphere even as I write. But now, praise the nerds, they’ve invented applications and software that can turn back the clock. Apple recently won a U.S. patent on technology that is purely intended to save indiscreet babblers from themselves. According to a recent article by the Globe and Mail’s Zosia Bielski, entitled One Tequila Shot Too Many? Technology Will Save You From Mistext Regrets, the likely buyers of this item are the parents of “sexting” young people,

because the technology means “offensive messages could be returned to sender or deleted outright.” One existing hi-tech solution, the Globe advises, can be found at a Gmail addon called Mail Goggles. This program asks you to solve a math question before you fire off impromptu remarks at certain times of the day, which you have previously determined and set manually. If you can’t answer the question properly, having decided the level of difficulty yourself, Mail Goggles will say “Water and bed for you. Or try again.” Gmail cannot be held responsible if you then kick the computer down the stairs. Meanwhile, the LP4100 mobile phone with built-in breathalyzer allows you to program your cell so certain phone numbers are blocked when the breathalyzer says you’re intoxicated — good news for folks on probation and the recently separated. It’s hard to imagine how these wouldn’t help the chronically inflamed. If only some of history’s most evil villains had been technologically prevented from giving the order for heinous acts they devised while under the influence, whether of alcohol or just a fit of pique.

On May 20, 1943, the crew had a close call after being shot while flying into a seaplane base in Sicily. “We couldn’t drop our full load,” he said. “So we had to come back over the base. The second time they were waiting for us.” One of the shots cut the hydraulics in the rear turret, pouring hydraulic fluid over Smith and crippling one of the engines. Peters told the crew they better hope they’d make it half way across the Mediterranean — where a rescue plane might pick them up. But they did make it back to base — using coffee from thermoses and other onboard fluids as a substitute for hydraulic fluid — to get the plane’s wheels to descend. Even in the desert, the threat of death was never far away. “You knew immediately who didn’t come back,” said Smith. “One of the commanding officers would be cleaning out the tent. It could be the crew right across from you or the one right behind you.” The death rate in Bomber Command was about 44 per cent.

She also received the Medal of Honour from Jerusalem. Why do I tell you all this? It is because I want to show you how difﬁcult and counterproductive it is to point the ﬁnger of blame anywhere.

can I point to the Blacks, or even all the Germans or Nazis, when it is with some of their efforts that my dad was able to stand beside me at my Bar-Mitzvah, and will be there for my daughter’s bat-mitzvah? I cannot, and I do not wish to. And when you think about it I hope that you will feel the same way. For to continue to lay blame is to continue the same hurtful legacy. We must stop this repetition of history now. We must stop it with love, understanding and, above all, tolerance. The simple ugly truth is that it is never one people or another that is to blame for anything. It is a certain person, or persons who are. And the most important thing we need to realize is that we are all, each and every one of us as humans, all capable of the same horror of the murderers, and the same love of our saviours and healers. Once we can recognize the truth of the span for all humanity, then and only then can we begin to heal our pains. Only then may we accept, tolerate, and maybe even learn to love the differences in our peoples. I hope my mom and dad live to see that day. I know, as I’m sure you all do deep inside your souls, that this is the simple truth. I wish you all peace, love and tolerance for a world of happiness. Shalom.

Carson Graham rebuild goes hi-tech Budget savings will mean more money for extras Niamh Scallan

nscallan@nsnews.com

CARSON Graham secondary students could see some unexpected, state-of-the-art gizmos at their school when construction ﬁnishes and doors reopen in 2012.

The massive project to replace the school is under budget by $1.85 million and that means a few new accessories for staff and students, Ian Abercrombie, director of facilities and planning for the North Vancouver school district, told members of the ﬁnance and facilities standing committee Tuesday night. “We’re looking at enhancing the building in as many ways as possible,” he said. According to Abercrombie, planners are looking at a number of upgrades including hightech audiovisual and data systems for classrooms, a small-scale solar hot water and electricity production to save energy, a solid moveable wall instead of a curtain in the gym, and better gym equipment. Planners are also looking at new electrical and heating systems to qualify for LEED credit.

For Carson Graham principal Steve Garland, the redevelopment project and the equipment upgrade plans demonstrates the school’s desire to stimulate the teaching and learning environment in the classroom. “We’re going to hopefully have a Jetson-era school with Jetson-era students,” he said. “It’s about working with our staff and giving them the tools that they can support students with. “We will be the most technologically advanced school in the province of B.C. when we open our doors,” he added. The Carson Graham replacement project, originally budgeted at $43 million, is in its second year of construction. The new school will hold up to 1,100 students, combining Carson Graham students with those from Balmoral junior secondary. Balmoral is slated to close when the project is completed in 2012. Abercrombie told the meeting that move-in to the new school is expected for spring break in 2012, months earlier than the initial September 2012 completion date. “Our schedule is very optimistic,” he said. “We’ve made assumptions that everything is going to fall into place.”

Kick Start

Cat Smiley

Stay organized to stick to your routine WE’VE all been there: coming home from work to face three loads of laundry needing to be done, a dog needing to be walked, a favourite television show about to start and no food in the house to cook for dinner.

It’s taken the world by storm and this is the fourth year it’ll be marked in Canada, seeing thousands of men abandon their razors for the course of the month and grow moustaches to raise both awareness and funds for Prostate Cancer Canada, funding research and support services. Last year’s Canadian effort, which saw more than 35,000 people participate and raise $7.8 million, was the second largest

Shooting off to the gym seems like the last thing we should do, which is probably right! It’s impossible to put your best into a workout when your head is somewhere else. Organization is the key element needed to stick with an effective exercise plan and get results. Monday seems to be the best day for most people to kick-off a new routine, so prepare in advance by getting ready on Sunday. Think about what you’re going to eat during the week, write a grocery list and go shopping. Get your workout

IT’S fair to say that nights at the pub with a group of pals have the potential to yield ideas. That said, some are better than others. One positive example is Movember, a prostate cancer fundraiser that came into being in 2003 over a couple of beers in Melbourne, Australia.

Lynn Valley men go to great heights

Erin McPhee

emcphee@nsnews.com

TWO Lynn Valley dads are about to accomplish something most of us only dream of. After departing from YVR in the wee hours of Wednesday, Jason Lawson and Randy Bernard are currently en route to Mount Everest’s base camp. While a challenging trek, prior to leaving, both attested their Himalayan journey will be nothing compared to that following a cancer diagnosis — something Jason’s son Beckett experienced firsthand. The duo’s climb is made possible through Summits of Hope, a non-profit established in 1999 in support of the B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation. The organization helps people climb mountains for children who can’t, celebrating survivors and honouring lives lost, all the while raising funds for care and research at the Vancouver centre. “This is a good way to give back after my son has had so much treatment there,” says Jason, 35, referring to the oncology department at B.C. Children’s. “It’s a good way to celebrate him being done chemotherapy too.” Beckett, who will turn seven on Tuesday, finished chemotherapy in September, following a diagnosis with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at age three. While he’s now in remission, and is a happy and healthy Grade 2 student at Upper Lynn elementary, it’s proven to be a stressful few years for their family as a result of intense treatment schedules and sporadic hospitalizations, says Jason. To show their thanks, their family has participated in a number of fundraisers over the years; for example, Jason’s wife (and Beckett’s mom) Tracey Arnish, participated in a Leukemia and Lympho-

ma Society Team In Training event, a San Francisco half-marathon, raising more than $30,000. Jason learned about Summits of Hope during a visit to B.C. Children’s Hospital with Beckett, noticing a poster promoting it. “I thought ‘Wow, that would be a great way to raise funds,’” he says, adding that the organization lets participants decide exactly where funds are directed. He and Randy’s will support pediatric leukemia research. Jason, who met Randy as a result of their sons being in school together, invited him to join him on the climb. “I just felt it was a good thing to try giving back a little bit and what better way to raise a bunch of money for something you believe in? And it was also a catalyst to do something I always wanted to do,” says Randy, 43, on his decision to get involved. In addition to supporting Beckett, Randy is also participating in honour of his older sister, Theresa, who passed away at age 13 from leukemia. He was seven at the time and their family has many memories of time spent in the hospital during that period. While both men lead active lives, neither has undertaken anything as intense as their Everest journey. To prepare — collectively — they’ve done things like hike, mountain bike, work out at the gym as well as take a variety of ﬁtness classes. To raise funds, they’ve sought support from friends and family, as well, hosted a pub night. In addition, they’ve been spreading the word about Summits of Hope. “With us doing this I have two friends, already, doing Kilimanjaro next year,” says Randy. Jason and Randy expect to wrap up their journey on Nov. 17. To support their efforts or to ﬁnd out more about Summits of Hope, visit www.summitsofhope.com.

Dumbbell exercises are a great way to improve ﬁtness at home QUESTION: I need to strengthen and tone my upper body. What kind of exercises can I do at home? I don’t really want a gym membership at this point, but I have some dumbbells. Answer: There are several great exercises you can do with your dumbbells. Choose a weight that will allow you to perform eight to 12 repetitions — with good form — of each of the following exercises: ■ Dumbbell rows This exercise will help strengthen your back muscles. While standing, hold a dumbbell in each hand. Bend forward at the waist until your shoulders are parallel with the ﬂoor, and keep your feet shoulder-width apart. Let your arms hang straight down. Pull the dumbbells up, in the direction of your hips, while squeezing your middle and upper-back muscles. Slowly lower them between repetitions. ■ Dumbbell presses with a

Personal Best Shaun Karp

stability ball If you don’t already have a stability ball, consider investing in one. They cost approximately $30 and can make almost any exercise more beneﬁcial by engaging additional muscles and burning extra calories. To do a dumbbell press, lie with your back on the stability ball and your feet on the ﬂoor, with your knees at a 90-degree angle. With bent elbows — also at a 90-degree angle — hold a dumbbell in each hand, in line with, but slightly above, your shoulders. Press the dumbbells up,

bringing them together above your chest as your arms straighten. Slowly lower the weights to the start position between repetitions. ■ Bent over dumbbell raises Try this to strengthen your rear deltoids and improve your posture. Stand with slightly bent knees and your shoulders almost parallel to the ﬂoor. Hold a dumbbell in each hand and bend your arms no more than 30 degrees. Start by holding the dumbbells together before your knees. While maintaining your elbow positioning, raise the dumbbells until they are parallel to your shoulders. Slowly lower the weights to the start position. For beginners trying to get in shape, working out at home can build your conﬁdence until you feel ready to try a gym membership or a personal trainer. It’s relatively inexpensive to purchase basic equipment (like a stability ball or dumbbells) that can be used for dozens of strengthening exercises. Just ensure you are using the

right techniques. Another way to improve your fitness at home is to transform regular chores into a workout. For example, listen to music while you clean and let yourself dance around while you’re sweeping or dusting. Many household cleaning products are designed to eliminate the need for scrubbing. Try using oldfashioned cleaners — like vinegar — and put some muscle into your chores. Not only is it better for the environment, it’s resistance training. Again, use good technique and avoid overextending your muscles. This might not sound like much of a workout for a fitness guru, but it could be the push a beginner needs to start leading a more active lifestyle.

Brewery launches major Movember campaign From page 13

in the world, behind Australia. This year is shaping up to have similar success with more and more individuals, organizations and businesses opting to take part. One example is Granville Island Brewing. Last year, the company participated internally, raising $5,000. Based on the success, both in terms of fundraising and ﬁnding it great for morale, management thought it would be worth taking their involvement to the next level, rolling out a public campaign. So far they’ve received an overwhelming response, seeing 75 of their clients (restaurants and private beer and wine stores) opt to take part. “Obviously, as a beer company, our consumer proﬁle is pretty male-dominant,” says Granville Island Brewing general manager Walter Cosman. “We have a lot of females who love our beer but

we’re still 70-30 male to female.” With that in mind, Movember seemed like the perfect ﬁt for the brewery. “There’s lots of great causes out there and there’s lots of great events that happen for . . . the female side, but we didn’t really feel like there was much out there for the male side,” says Cosman. “As guys, we’re brutal about talking about our own health and about going to get checked. So we wanted to try to do something that had some fun to it that got people talking about the cause. Hopefully with the moustaches people are laughing and joking, but at the same time also talking about, ‘Hey, it is a serious illness and it affects one in six guys in their lifetime.’” According to Prostate Cancer Canada, prostate is the most common cancer among Canadian men and this year alone, an estimated 24,600 men will be diagnosed; and others, due to an unwillingness to go for annual check-ups,

will go undiagnosed. Granville Island’s campaign has a number of components. For example, ten cents from every pint and twenty-five cents from each six-pack of Lions Winter Ale sold will benefit Prostate Cancer Canada. As well, specially marked cases of the style will have a “Mo Bro Guide” inside. The company has distributed coasters to B.C. pubs and restaurants with punch-out moustaches for men and women to snap a photo of themselves wearing and post on the brewery’s Facebook page to win prizes. Other contests are also being run through social media. And, they’re looking for more people and teams to join them with a goal of raising $25,000 for the cause. One of Granville Island’s clients participating on the North Shore is Browns on Lonsdale. According to co-owner Derek Archer, their restaurant first participated in Movember three years ago, holding a fundraising evening in

Botox: What is it and is it safe?

Botox is an organic compound that nobody is allergic to. Botox has been used medically in Canada for almost 30 years and undergone over 4000 published studies. In the hands of an experienced injector, adverse effects are rare.

.com

983-3429 or pgj@shaw.ca.

When the Botox wears off will I look worse?

Certainly not. While the Botox is effective you will learn to use other muscles that “break the habit” of a negative frown or squint. Once the habit has been broken and facial muscles have been “retrained,” you may even require less Botox to maintain a youthful look year after year.

Free consultations are available with a Cosmetic Technician at 604-929-3299.

Get in right mindset for positive results

From page 13

gear laundered so it’s ready when you are, but most of all, get in the right mindset. The best workouts start with a positive headspace. There’s always going to be an excuse to not exercise if you want there to be. Simply put, no trainer can motivate, empower or inspire you to push your physical limits unless you have ﬁrst decided that this is what you want. The decision to train like an average exerciser or train like an athlete is up to you. So how do you ﬁnd the athletic mindset? First, use mental images to envision the workout ahead. I advise my bootcamp recruits to get up early enough to have time to drink their coffee and get their head in the right place to arrive at a session

ready to push their personal limits. For example, to imagine crossing the finish line of the timed mile run a few seconds faster and doing one more push up than yesterday. Never just “show up.” Performance is all about mental attitude and envisioning what you want to achieve can really help. During my athletic career, I was taught to start my day with powerful mental images, something I have taken into my coaching profession. These days I get up at 5:20 a.m., and during the time it takes to drink my coffee, I visualize myself leading amazing classes that day with confidence and happy clients. It definitely helps me face 30 people at 6 a.m.! Everyone can train to be a winner in their own right, but you need to know what you’re working towards.

Visualizing goals is only effective if you can accept what’s needed to achieve them. Sometimes my clients face unnecessary disappointment because they set goals based on fantasy more than reality. I had one woman who hadn’t exercised for three years, but signed up for bootcamp, hoping to pass her firefighters’ physical exam in eight weeks. She trained hard, but there’s only so much someone can do without having a foundation in place. I hope she keeps up her fitness and tries again next year.

SENIORS

Grant brings more seniors to the table Erin McPhee

emcphee@nsnews.com

NORTH Shore seniors are being empowered to have their voices heard as a result of a $25,000 funding grant from the United Way of the Lower Mainland.

The grant was given to the Lionsview Seniors’ Planning Society, a non-proﬁt organization dedicated to the interests of seniors in North

and West Vancouver. The funds will be used to develop a Seniors Action Committee as well as to conduct a survey of local seniors, identifying their needs and providing a basis for future efforts to meet them. The Seniors Action Committee will be seniors-led and seniors-driven, says Tom Carney, executive director of the society, as well as a North Shore News columnist. “There are a multitude of services on the North Shore for seniors and there are a number

of agencies that provide services for seniors, and for the most part they do a wonderful job,” he says. “We think what’s missing is the input from seniors directly on how those services are designed and delivered.” The grant will allow the society to bring a group of unafﬁliated seniors together and talk about what they would like to see in their community. Lionsview is the host agency to a seniors planning table that brings 50 community service providers together. “We talk about services to seniors and that probably has prompted us to look at what we think is kind of a missing piece, which is there aren’t enough independent seniors at the table,” says Carney, adding it’s predominantly comprised of service agency employees. While society members have made attempts to bring community members at large to the table, they haven’t been successful. “To get that voice, we are going to establish a table that brings seniors together,” says Carney, adding this marks a real change in the way an agency looks at developing solutions to local problems. “It’s a new way of thinking,” he says.

The information gathered will be compiled into a report, which will provide a basis for future grant applications, local government lobbying, as well as the development of new projects and programs, all intended to improve local seniors’ quality of life. “I’m absolutely enthused and just so happy that the United Way is so involved in real grassroots community development,” says Osborne. The North Shore is one of seven communities in the Lower Mainland receiving a $25,000 grant through this particular United Way initiative focused on a seniors-led approach to addressing local seniors issues, says Beverley Pitman, a planner for the United Way of the Lower Mainland. “We’re pleased to ﬁnd the people who know exactly what’s needed in the way of support services for seniors,” she says. It’s hoped that representatives of each of the seven communities will eventually come together to form a body to assist in future planning and identifying priorities for the region as a whole, she says. North Shore residents are encouraged to join Lionsview and get involved in the initiative in a variety of ways, either by becoming a member of the Seniors Action Committee, helping create the survey, helping administer the survey, helping their peers complete the survey, participating in the survey themselves, or leading a focus group.

ARTIST Peter Forbes is big on being original. He’s made an entire career out of it, in fact. The North Vancouver woodworker is the only barrel carver in Canada, and with clients ranging from local restaurateurs to international winemakers, he’s deﬁnitely made his mark. It all started about 20 years ago, when Forbes, 60, decided to drop everything and go on a little adventure. “I saw a thing on the news, a guy in Seattle had built his

own sail boat and he was looking for crew. They were going go sail around the world,” he says. “So I went to bed that night, throwing myself around the bed wondering ‘Can I handle this, can I go offshore?’” Apparently he decided he could and after making a few phone calls, he found himself on the dock in Seattle being interviewed by local TV stations and National Geographic. The vessel itself, which had been featured in boat shows, was hand built out of teak wood, says Forbes. One day, the skipper

The proposed Zoning Bylaw amendment will designate commercial and industrial properties in Lower Lynn a Temporary Commercial and Industrial Use Permit Area. Temporary Commercial and Industrial Use Permits may be issued within Temporary Use Permit Areas to: 1. Allow a commercial or industrial use not permitted in the zone by the Zoning Bylaw; 2. Specify general conditions under which the temporary commercial or industrial use may be carried on; and, 3. Allow and regulate the construction of buildings or structures in respect to the use for which the permit is issued.

Purpose:

The intent of the Bylaw is to provide additional flexibility for Lower Lynn businesses as the neighbourhood begins to respond to changes in the Lower Lynn Plan.

This Public Hearing is held under the provisions of the Local Government Act. All persons who believe they may be affected by the above proposal will be afforded an opportunity to be heard in person and/or by written submission. Written submissions will be accepted up to the conclusion of the Public Hearing to be held on Monday, November 15, 2010.

TASTE

Global taste tests

On Remembrance Day,

Honouring sacriﬁce in war. Teaching for peace in the future. Notable Potables Tim Pawsey

THIS is the time of year when traveling winemakers come to town — especially those from the Southern Hemisphere, where spring has just sprung and there’s still plenty of time before grapes meet crushpad.

Recently, a traveling roadshow (courtesy of Trialto Wines) of family-owned wineries from around the world yielded a wealth of good tastes and people to match. The pre-lunch reception started with a great match of C Restaurant’s kisshu oysters with Pares Balta Cava — from a family owned, organic winery that uses bees to pollinate and sheep to graze and fertilize its vineyards. This is a great example of Spanish sparkling and a good indication of why we should drink more of it! You get some toasty notes on the nose, followed by apple and pear and a touch of citrus on a lifted palate, before a clean end. Bubbly value at BCLS $19.99. Also in attendance were two super Semillon makers, and with them a chance to taste a couple of great examples from opposite ends of the earth. Iain Riggs runs Brokenwood in the Hunter Valley, just north of Sydney. His 2009 Brokenwood Semillon is nicely citrus up front with zingy acidity and a zesty end. It’s classic young Sem, says Riggs, that will develop some

PARES Balta Cava pairs well with kisshu oysters. age after three or four years in the bottle (BCLS $22.95). By contrast, Marty Clubb’s (Ecole 41, Walla Walla, Washington) ’09 Semillon, which includes 17 per cent Sauvignon Blanc to add structure, shows a more fruit-driven style with some honey hints, citrus and tropical notes on the palate to a long close ($28-30 PWS). Two great, contrasting examples of delicious wines. And both, coincidentally, the 28th vintage produced! Laura Catena, one of Argentina’s most well known and respected ambassadors and the daughter of Argentine wine icon Nicolas Catena, is no stranger to Vancouver. Next time she comes to town she’ll be carrying her new book, Vino Argentino (Chronicle Books, $31.95). It adds up to the most comprehensive — but also highly approachable — guide to date on Argentina’s blossoming wine and food culture. The Catena family has played a pivotal role since Laura’s great-grandfather Nicola planted Mendoza’s ﬁrst Malbec vineyard in 1902. If you’ve ever had the good luck to meet Catena — maybe at winefest — you’ll know that she’s a remarkable, truly gifted woman, who makes the term “super-mom” redundant in one fell swoop.

Just how gifted? We’ll leave the brief bio to foreword author, wine critic Dr. Jay Miller: “How Laura had time to write this book is a mystery in itself. She is the mother of three young children and emergency room physician in San Francisco; produces her own range of wines under the Luca label; works closely with her father, Nicolas Catena, at the Catena Zapata winery in Mendoza; and is a roving ambassador for the winery. Nevertheless, being the perfectionist that she obviously is, she has done a beautiful job. Anyone heading to Argentina, and particularly to wine country, should be carrying a copy of this terriﬁc volume.” It is, indeed, packed with useful and fascinating information, including, of course, an extensive history of the industry but also a great discussion on Argentine cuisine, with a good selection of typical recipes, as well as the background to connections with Michel Rolland, Rothschild and Mondavi. You can enjoy a taste of some of the recipes at BCLS’ Cambie Street and 39th Avenue location, November 13th, 1-4 p.m. paired with a sip of Malbec and Tango — and also enter a chance to win a trip to Argentina at any BCLS through Nov. 15. www.hiredbelly.com

Mitchell Smyth/Meridian Writers’ Group

IN Cedar Key, the Dock has salt-weathered wooden buildings on stilts over the water that house restaurants, stores and galleries.

Watering stop: Cedar Key’s importance in Florida’s history was recognized on Oct. 3, 1989 by the federal government. At that time, 8,000 acres in and around the town were added to the National Register of Historic Places under the title of the Cedar Key Historic and Archaeological District. The Cedar Keys were used by Seminole Indians, by the Spanish as a watering stop for ships returning to Spain from Mexico and by pirates, such as Jean Laﬁtte and Captain Kidd. – Wikipedia

FISHING VILLAGE OF CEDAR KEY, FLORIDA A HIDDEN GEM

Dock of the bay

Mitchell Smyth Contributing Writer

CEDAR KEY, Fla. — Two neighbouring towns here on Florida’s upper Gulf coast, about 200 kilometres north of Tampa, represent the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of the sunshine state’s past. The Good: Cedar Key is a gem of a place, a 19th-century town that remains ﬁrmly rooted in the days before high-rise hotels and theme parks took over. It fairly oozes simpler-time charm. The Bad and the Ugly: Rosewood, a near-ghost town 15 kilometres inland, is a reminder of a dark stain on Florida’s history. Three crosses and a historical plaque on Route 24 are the only reminders today of the grim events that happened in Rosewood in January 1923. In nearby Sumner a married woman who’d been beaten by her white lover made up a tale that she’d been attacked by a black man from Rosewood, a mostly black hamlet of about 600 people. The whites went on a rampage, shooting, lynching and

mutilating. The official death count was eight, but survivors claimed anywhere from 40 to 150 blacks were killed. Although state and local authorities knew what was going on, no action was taken. No one was ever charged. While the white mobs burned Rosewood to the ground the black population scattered; none of them ever returned. Rosewood today consists of a crab shack, some trailer homes and a few bungalows. In 2004, the state finally recognized the shameful events of 1923, designating Rosewood a Florida Heritage Landmark. A cast aluminum sign, dedicated by thengovernor Jeb Bush, memorializes the victims. (The incident was the subject of the 1997 movie Rosewood, starring Ving Rhames and Jon Voight. But don’t look in the real Rosewood for any movie locations: the film was shot in central Florida.) Rosewood’s story may sink the spirits, but Cedar Key, a 15-minute drive to the west, is the perfect antidote. This delightful town looks like something out of a 1900

TRAVEL ‘TEMPLE OF THE RENOWNED’ AT 30 YONGE STREET

Hockey Hall of Fame gives even Leafs fans chance to see Stanley Mark Stachiew

Contributing Writer

IF hockey is Canada’s religion, then the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto is its cathedral.

The sweat-stained gear, the chipped sticks, the tattered jerseys and all of the other artifacts that are on display are looked upon by visitors in awe as if they were relics of the saints. French Canadians already know this to be true. They call it Le temple de la renommée du hockey, the literal translation of which would be the temple of the renowned. Many of those same francophone fans are no doubt fans of Les Canadiens, a team which has plenty of representation in the museum, including a faithful reproduction of the club’s dressing room from the old Forum where they won so many championships. The locker stalls are lined with jerseys of the many team members who have been enshrined in the hall and visitors are encouraged to sit where they want and pose with the sweaters of their favourite players. Of course, no team is left out at the Hall of Fame. There are exhibits for every team playing in the NHL today and plenty of which are long defunct or have relocated to other cities. There are exhibits on minor league teams, women’s teams, university teams, international teams and representatives of leagues you didn’t know existed. Individual stars are also honoured in the foyer where you ﬁrst enter. There are displays for legends like Bobby Orr, Wayne Gretzky, Maurice Richard and many more, including the latest inductees to the pantheon like Brett Hull and Steve Yzerman. For statistics fanatics, there are artifacts that are important for different milestones set in the league, including a popular display of 802 pucks stacked in the actual net where Wayne Gretzky, the player who has the record for the most NHL records, scored that record-setting goal. He went on to score 894 regular-season goals during his career. When you are done supplicating at the relics of the stars, there is the Great Hall to visit. It contains the Holy Grail of the sport, the Stanley Cup. Visitors eagerly pose to have their photos taken with the cup and fathers and mothers, but mostly fathers, point out to their children the names of teams and players that they worshipped when they themselves were kids, passing down the religion from one generation to the next. It’s common to see visitors come to the hall wearing team jerseys with the names of their favourite players emblazoned on the back to tell the world what denomination they worship and who is their patron saint. The Great Hall even features a roof of stained glass to make the trophies it contains seem all the more holy. And what a gleaming collection of trophies it is. You can look at the Hart Trophy for the most valuable player, the Art Ross Trophy for the scoring leader, the Norris Trophy for the best defenceman and every other major award the league bestows on its best players. For the kids, and for plenty of the grown-ups, the museum

offers virtual reality games that test your hockey skills. You can pick up a stick and shoot plastic pucks at a computerized goalie or strap on a mask and let avatars of Wayne Gretzky and his teammate Mark Messier take shots at you. There are also some Nintendo Wii consoles set up with hockey games for you to battle opponents electronically or you can check out a display from sports network TSN where you can take control of mock TV switching equipment to pretend you are controlling the televised production of a game. Many fans have relics of their own at home that they have worshipped since they were children in the form of hockey trading cards, ticket stubs or other souvenirs of the game. These are well represented in a display in which you will no doubt recognize some of your own possessions. Long-suffering Maple Leaf fans have been waiting for the Stanley Cup since 1967, but they have the good fortune of being able to visit the Hockey Hall of Fame whenever they want to see it while the rest of us must make long pilgrimages to see this shrine. It is a visit every hockey fan must do at least once in their life in order to truly call themselves fans. If you go: — The Hockey Hall of Fame is located in downtown Toronto. It’s easily accessible by subway which is the preferred way to get there as the cost of parking in the area is very high and will easily cost more than your admission to the hall. — Visit the HHOF’s website at www.hhof.com for their hours of operation, admission prices and a virtual tour of their many exhibits.

Working Together to Manage

Snow and Ice in Your Municipality

Snow season is upon us. Your municipality monitors road and weather conditions throughout the winter months. When snow and icy conditions are forecast, crews and equipment are dispatched to clear roads on a priority basis. The first priority for municipal crews, during and after a snowfall, is to clear the major arterial streets, as well as bus routes, bus stops, and access to emergency services (e.g. fire halls, ambulance stations and hospital). The second priority is to clear collector streets and routes leading to schools. Once conditions have stabilized on first and second priority routes, crews will begin to clear local streets. Local streets are not ploughed immediately during a snow event. In the event of continual snowfall, it may take longer than normal for ploughs to reach local streets as first and second priority streets will require additional attention.Thank you for your cooperation and patience during a snow event as municipal crews work to keep your streets clear and safe. For more information on your municipality’s snow and ice removal policy and how you can prepare for winter storms, please contact your local municipality.

You Can Help Before a snowfall: •

•

Prepare for an emergency. Keep an emergency kit and supplies in your home, office and car. During an emergency, such as a large-scale power outage, residents may be without services or assistance for up to 72 hours. Visit the North Shore Emergency Management Office website at www.nsemo.org, or call 604-983-7440 to find out more about personal emergency preparedness and for information on free emergency preparedness workshops. • Stock up on food supplies and ensure that your prescriptions are filled. • Note the locations of fire hydrants and catch basins around your property. • Purchase and install quality snow tires. Tuneup your vehicle for winter driving. • Keep a shovel and supply of salt handy for sidewalks and driveways. • Make alternate arrangements (such as taking public transit) to commute to work, school, or medical appointments when it snows. • Monitor local weather reports.

When it snows:

• •

• • • •

Drive only if necessary. Public transit is a good alternative. Park in your driveway, not on the street. This will allow snow ploughs and salt spreaders the room required to safely clear the street. This is particularly important on cul-de-sacs and narrow roadways. Please note that lanes/alleys are not ploughed during a snow event. Do not abandon your car if it gets stuck. Illegally parked cars that hamper snow clearing may be ticketed and/or towed. Remove snow from your sidewalk. The owner or occupier of an industrial, commercial or multi-family property is required to remove any accumulation of snow or ice from the sidewalks and footpaths bordering the real property as soon as practicable after the cessation of any snow or ice accumulation. Residents of single-family properties are also asked to clear snow and ice from sidewalks in front of their home in order to ensure the safety of pedestrians. (Note: the City of North Vancouver bylaw also requires removal of snow from sidewalks fronting residential properties). Please visit your municipal website to learn more about snow clearing bylaws in your community: District of North Vancouver Street and Traffic Bylaw 7125 City of North Vancouver Street and Traffic Bylaw 6234 District of West Vancouver Traffic and Parking Bylaw 4370

Check your municipality’s website for snow shovelling tips. Clear snow away from fire hydrants. This will make it easier for the fire department to locate the hydrant in the event of an emergency. Clear snow and ice from the catch basins in front of your home or business. This will allow for proper drainage and will reduce the chance of flooding on the street and on property. Check on neighbours and family members who may need some extra assistance.

•

Stay away from rivers and creeks. With heavy rainfall or melting snowpack comes increased risk, due to elevated water levels, swift moving currents, and bank erosion. Report downed power lines. Stay clear and contact BC Hydro at 1-888-POWERON. Go to BC Hydro’s website for further information about power outages at www.bchydro.com/outages.

Collection Services During a Snow Event

In the event of hazardous road conditions due to snow and ice, it may be necessary to suspend garbage, recycling and green waste collection in some or all parts of the North Shore.

Garbage Collection (North Van District): If your garbage collection is missed, then collection will not occur until the next scheduled collection day and the container limit will be increased to accommodate the missed pick-up. Please remove your garbage containers from the curb and store until the next scheduled collection day. Garbage Collection (North Van City and West Van): If your garbage collection is missed, then crews will attempt to make the collection the following day. Please ensure that your containers are not buried in snow. If crews are unable to collect your material the next day, then it will be collected on your next scheduled collection day and the container limit will be increased to accommodate the missed pickup. Note for North and West Vancouver: If your garbage/recycling is normally collected from the street: Do not place your garbage cans and recycling containers on the road. Keep them on the sidewalk or boulevard and remove them as soon as possible after they have been emptied. Recycling Collection (North and West Vancouver): If recycling collection is missed, crews will attempt service the following day. If crews are not able to collect your material the next day, please remove it from the curb until your next scheduled collection day. Green Waste Collection: will be suspended in the District of North Vancouver during snow and icy conditions, allowing crews to focus on garbage collection. Green waste collection may also be suspended in the City of North Vancouver and District of West Vancouver. Please check with your municipality for more information.

Schools can also be affected by heavy snowfall: In the event of a major snowfall, local area schools may be closed. Please check the following websites during a snow event for more information. North Vancouver School District: www.nvsd44.bc.ca West Vancouver School District: www.sd45.bc.ca or (604) 981-1234 (24 hours) Independent/Private Schools: Please contact the school directly.

barrels . . . and sort of left my legacy around town,” he says. Eventually he decided to go out on his own, but he didn’t want to simply compete with other sign shops — he wanted to do something different. “I saw a picture of a carved barrel in a magazine and once again some epiphany just hit me, ‘Aha!’ So I did some research and nobody really does it, this guy made a one-off,” he says, adding only two other North Americans are currently practising the old European art form right now. “I got a barrel and I just started teaching myself how to do it. And there were a lot of pitfalls until I ﬁnally got it ﬁgured out so now I’m the only guy in Canada who does this,” he says.

Don’t let greed blind you to investing risks Money Matters Mike Grenby

SHE wanted to retire with an investment income of $30,000 and leave her sons a lump sum after she died.

That was before her $430,000 investment portfolio dropped below $60,000 thanks not only to the global ﬁnancial crisis but also to the money she borrowed on the advice of her ﬁnancial planner. Now she is suing both the planner and his sponsoring company, seeking damages and alleging a breach of duty

of care. When she sold her home, she invested $300,000 and used that as collateral to increase her margin loan to $640,000. When the market dropped, she had to sell investments to pay down the loan. The woman claims she was given bad advice; the planning company said she was a “growth investor” willing to accept the volatility and risks involved in the long-term plan to achieve the 10 per cent return needed to generate both the income she wanted and the lump sum for her sons. Clearly if the market hadn’t gone south and her investments had gained in value — thanks to the extra leveraging provided by her investment loan — she would have had nothing but praise for her ﬁnancial planner and his company. There would have been no question as to whether she was given appropriate advice. But because she lost

money, this now becomes an issue the court must consider. Bottom line: Always get financial advice in writing with all the risks clearly outlined — risks you understand. You will have no problem living with a profit; just make sure you can cope equally well if and when you are faced with a loss. Unfortunately, tempted by the prospects of profit, we tend to let greed dominate our feelings, and push away the fear the risks involved should generate. We want to believe we will make money so we focus on those predictions and tend to ignore the factors that could cause us to lose money — even if they are also clearly spelled out for us.

Caution: Bad winter ahead!

Prepare today with a BCAA Membership! A dead battery or locking your keys in the car can become potentially dangerous when the weather turns nasty. And with all the talk of a harsh winter on the way, it’s time to think about a BCAA Membership to protect the ones you love. With BCAA’s legendary Road Assist service, you can be certain that help is never far away.

We are in for a cold and stormy winter.

The Old Farmer’s Almanac and local weather forecasters predict that we will be experiencing one of the coldest winters on record, with the heaviest snowfalls in mid- and late December and late February.

Will your car be ready?

One of the best ways to be prepared for the severe weather on its way is to be proactive.

One line of attack is a BCAA Membership.

According to Colin MacPhail, Director, Membership Marketing and Product Management at BCAA, many people wait until the ﬁrst snowfall to call and by then BCAA is already very busy responding to their existing members. “When it cools down, our call centre gets ﬂooded with phone calls, so we are telling people not to wait until their lock freezes or their car won’t start to call us,” says MacPhail. Meanwhile, winter driving can be rough on your car, which is why it is important to properly winterize your car to avoid costly car repair problems later. Fall is the best time to get your car ready for old man winter.

Here are a few things you can do right now:

Check to ensure you have the proper winter antifreeze and keep it topped up at all times; check tires for tread wear (snow tires are optimum); and have an emergency kit in your car at all times - it should include a shovel, sand for weight and traction, tire chains, a blanket, water, food, candles, a flashlight, a reflector and flares. “Should you get stuck on the side of the road for a few hours, someone should know of your trip plans and when you are to be where,” says MacPhail, adding to always have your cell phone fully charged when going on a long trip.

A membership offers great peace of mind and wonderful beneﬁts.

On top of reliable roadside assistance, members also have access to thousands of Show Your Card and Save partner locations across North America where you can save on travel, hotels, car rentals and much more!

The price for peace of mind?

For details call 310-2345, click on www.bcaa.com or visit your nearest BCAA office.

Less than $100 for an individual membership and even less to add an additional member.

For more information, visit www.bcaa.com.

PETS

Small objects of desire Canine Connection Joan Klucha

THERE seems to be a chronic problem with thievery amongst our canine companions. Oh, it has nothing to do with people stealing another’s beloved four-legged companion while tied outside of the local coffee shop for hours while the owners indulge in their third nonfat, 16-oz, soya-blended, half-whip, stirred-not-shaken (oops, that’s my martini) Mochachino. It has to do with the thievery of balls. Yes, you heard it here ﬁrst. The fuzzy — more often fuzzless these days — globes that both men and women hold on to so tenderly in their

hands, carry in their pockets or sometimes kick just for the fun of it. Usually just before they give them a big toss into the wild blue yonder for Fido to chase and hopefully retrieve. These playthings have become a popular item at the dog park and many dogs steal them. Popular in the sense that, when one dog sees another dog playing with one, they are inclined to purloin it from the dog who is playing with it. At times this canine kleptomania has left many a dog standing alone, at the edge of the park or beach looking from side to side wondering where-oh-where has his lovely ball gone, only to catch a glimpse of a dog not known for its retrieving ability scampering off with the orb securely wedged between its incisors. Equally upsetting is the sight of the owner of the pilfered ball chasing down the ball bandit shouting obscenities at the owner, who alas is nowhere in sight. What a dilemma we have: so many dogs, so few balls Wait a second; not enough balls to go around? You can pick up a ball for just over

a dollar at just about any pet store or dollar store for that matter. They are far cheaper than the half-baked Mochachino! Why the need to steal them or make such a fuss about them being stolen? Dogs are dogs; they don’t place a monetary value on the balls they carry in their mouth and they aren’t really stealing. They just have not been taught to leave another dog’s things alone; no rules or boundaries set forth by the owners. Sounds like a column I have written about a number of times in the past, oh, decade! But humans sure do place value on their balls. For some reason we humans take great offence when another dog steals our dog’s ball. What can you do? Is there any form of ball etiquette in place between dog owner and marauding dog? Well, no. One can certainly take the route of chasing after both the dog and owner in an attempt to get the ball back but my advice is to carry a couple of balls with you and if a dog steals one, consider it your act of generosity for the day. That poor dog must be starving for some real fun if it

had to steal yours! Another option is to ﬁnd a place where you can play fetch with Fido that is away from the usual stream of canine activity. Going down to Ambleside park, for example, to play fetch with your dog and expecting to come home with your ball is like walking down Robson Street wearing a money suit and expecting people not to tear off a $20 bill as you walk by. If Ambleside is a must on your canine adventure for the day with the ball, then one should also be willing to easily let go of and accept all of the shortcomings of human nature and dog behaviour due to the human shortcomings. Consider it a test in your personal growth. If this is not possible then consider keeping your balls at home and simply walk and enjoy your dog’s company without the worry or fuss over the whereabouts of your dog’s ball. We certainly don’t need any more stress in our lives and going ballistic about a stolen ball is, well, nuts (don’t get me started on the nuts innuendoes). joan@k9kinship.com

Carson chasing perfection

Eagles win North Shore, set sights on provincials Andy Prest

aprest@nsnews.com

THE Carson Graham Eagles senior girls ﬁeld hockey team will try to accomplish an unprecedented feat when the AAA provincial championships begin Wednesday at the University of Victoria: a perfect season.

Wait, scratch that, a perfect season is totally precedented. The West Vancouver Highlanders did it just three years ago. Regardless, it would be pretty awesome for the Eagles if they won it all, rounding out an unblemished season with the school’s first-ever provincial title. “Really it’s an incredible group of girls,” said Kevin Spooner, co-coach of the team with his wife Margie. “I’ve coached almost half of them since they were six and I’m just extremely fortunate to be involved with those girls. The team is just a really tight-knit team, they have lots of fun off the field and when they get on the field they can turn it on like I’ve never seen before. . . . It’s great to watch.” The Eagles turned it on in the second half of the North Shore premier league championship game played Monday at William Griffin turf, pulling away from the Argyle Pipers for a 3-0 win. Leading 1-0 after a tight first half, Carson Graham potted two goals in the second half to complete an

undefeated season in the toughest league in the province. “(Our girls) kind of woke up in the second half and carried the play,” said Spooner. “They relaxed a little bit and had some fun. They play their best when they’re having fun.” Through six league victories and Monday’s ﬁnal, the Eagles scored 29 goals against Handsworth, Argyle and West Van while giving up just four. They also won the UBC preseason tournament and Vancouver Island’s prestigious Bridgman Cup, two annual competitions that feature most of the top teams in the province. Leading the way for the team are four Grade 12 players bound for NCAA Div. 1 programs next year. Forward Emma Plasteras

has committed to Boston College, centre midfielder Alexandra McCawley to Stanford and central defender Annabelle Hamilton and forward Holly Stewart to the University of Maine. The quartet forms a formidable spine down the middle of Carson’s lineup. “It’s an awesome centre and we control the middle of the field,” said Spooner. “But we have such great (players) . . . that fill in the rest of the spots. They all complement each other amazingly. It’s a great team, it really is. They’re great to watch and they all work so well.” Argyle, third-place finishers during the regular season, reached the North Shore final with a 3-2 overtime upset of secondplace Handsworth in the premier league See North page 47

NS NEWS SPORTSWEEK VIDEO ONLINE — NOW PLAYING HIGHLIGHTS from OCT 25-31

The Blues, second-place finishers in their division, failed to score a goal and were upset 1-0 by the University of Northern British Columbia Oct. 29 at the Kwantlen University-hosted BCCAA playoffs in Surrey. UNBC’s Danny Dell scored in the 89th minute to give the Timberwolves their first ever playoff win in thrilling fashion. “It was kind of the story of our season,” said Capilano head coach Pail Dailly last week. “We missed a few chances early on and just couldn’t get a goal early on to sort of settle ourselves down and it ended up hurting us in the end.” The Blues didn’t play poorly, said Dailly, but they didn’t do enough to grab the win. A strong first half was followed by a shaky start to the second half. The Blues recovered down the stretch and the game looked headed for overtime before Dell’s winner put UNBC through. “Their goal just sort of came out of nowhere,” said Dailly. “The guy hit one and kind of miss-hit it and it ended up going in off the post. It was a tough way to go, but that’s soccer. If you don’t take your chances early on it may come back to bite you.” UNBC went on to shock previously undefeated Douglas College 2-1 in the provincial semifinal before falling to Vancouver Island University 3-0 in the final. VIU earned the province’s sole berth in the national championships scheduled for next weekend in Edmonton. The results for Capilano may have been un-Blues like this season but so was the team’s roster. Only five players returned from last See Young page 46

year’s provincial bronze medal-winning team. It took a while for all of the new players to come together as a unit, said Dailly. “It’s a quick season so if you don’t take care of business early on you can get behind the 8-ball kind of like we did,” he said. “It was definitely a growing process as the year went on. We had a lot of new guys come in this year and it did take them a while to gel on the field. I thought near the end of the season we were actually starting to play some better soccer so I’m definitely pleased with the way things went. Obviously I would have liked to go further in the B.C.s and stuff, or even win it for that matter, but unfortunately it wasn’t meant to be this year. Having said that I’m optimistic about next year with the talent we’ve got coming back and the talent we’ll be looking to add as well.” Two of those players Dailly is hoping to get back are forward Javid Khan and defender Adam Staschuk, both named to the BCCAA first all-star team in their first seasons with the Blues. Khan led the team in scoring with five goals in nine regular season games, good for sixthbest in the league. The Burnaby native can do even better than that, said Dailly. “Wemissedalotofgoalscoringopportunities as a team — he wasn’t solely to blame for that

but he was definitely part of that. I think if he’s back next year we can definitely look for big things from him and he’ll be highly motivated to be near the top of the goal scoring ranks.” Staschuk, a North Delta native, was a rock on defence, said Dailly. “He had a very solid year for us. He played fullback, he played centre back, he played centre midfield for us. Very versatile and he’s just one of those guys who is a real gamer. Game in, game out you know you’re going to get 100 per cent from him. He just never stops working, never stops trying. He’s a great kid, he was probably one of our MVPs for sure this year and he’s definitely going to be back next year. We’re very happy to have him.” Dailly, in fact, is expecting the majority of his players to be back next season, swinging the experience meter to the other side of the scale. “(That’s) unusual for us,” he said. “We normally at least have half (of our players leave every year). We had our end of the year meetings and most of the guys were under the understanding that they’re going to be back next year and hungry. That’s definitely good for our program and if that is the case then I think we’ll have a really strong team next year.” That thought has left Dailly feeling good about the future of the team. “I’m pleased with the guys, the way they competed all season and I’m really looking forward to next year.”

To get there the team just needs to keep doing what they’ve done all year long, said Spooner. “As long as we play our own game we should do well,” he said. “They work so hard, they’re so dedicated, they’ve got great leadership. . . .

WALKER – Lois Elizabeth (nee Lundy)

May 2, 1939 - October 30, 2010 Lois passed tragically and suddenly with her family at her side. Predeceased by her parents Percy and Jewel, and this year by sister Peggy and brother-in-law Howdie. Survived by husband Morton, son Michael (Julie), daughter Jill Hartley (Jason), grandchildren Amanda, Jacob, Matthew and Ashley, her Aunts and Uncle, Nephews and extended family. Born in Hartney, MB of homesteading lineage Lois grew up in Lauder, MB. At 17 after teacher training she began her career in a one room school in rural Manitoba in the mid '50s, completed her teaching education at Brandon College and after graduating she taught grade one in East Kildonan (Winnipeg). She married Morton and they moved to Edmonton in 1963 where she taught and began her family. After a two year period living at Amherstburg, ON the family moved to the North Shore in 1971. Lois had found her home; the family grew up as BCers. She taught at Monteray School close to home and was closely involved in her children’s activities and was a friend to their friends. Morton’s work required much travel and long absences when Lois was the family’s central strength, especially during Morton’s year long assignment in Europe leaving Lois at home with early teenagers. She made many friends, was active in the community and was a serious curler. After her children left home she resumed working. One position was in Ron Huntington’s riding office and she ended her career as a Home Care Supervisor in East Vancouver. Her children had married and begun their own families happily settling very close by her. She enjoyed the much time spent with family, cherishing her grandchildren, enjoying their many activities. Lois and Morton started ocean cruising and had great times at sea with friends and family. Lois deeply loved her family, her friends and the many pets through the years including Omali, Roscoe, Bo and now Charley. She is missed deeply. We love you Mama. Memorial Service will be held at First Memorial Boal Chapel, 1505 Lillooet Rd. North Vancouver, B.C. on Friday, November 5th at 2:00pm. In lieu of flowers please make donations in her name to Canadian Diabetes or a charity of your choice.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: The accent lies on secrets, research, other people’s money, investments, debts, power plays, playing your hunches, lifestyle changes, deep health issues/diagnosis, commitment and consequence. In many ways, the “information stage” of this influence is over. Now it’s pure action, negotiation, taking the plunge. All month (and into early December) beware of legal hassles. Don’t state your opinion too forcefully. The same period favours international travel, education, symposiums, etc. Someone who was ready to make an agreement might withdraw: this process actually began in October. Taurus April 20-May 20: The emphasis remains on relationships – and these are growing increasingly “consequential,” as they start creating sexual, investment or other life-affecting choices between you and another (or others, as in an investment group). You’ll discuss these at length, with “love.” Yet your “partner” in all these has been growing more and more indecisive or evasive. Now, he/she/ they will actually pull back or right out for the rest of November, despite a willingness to talk. Be patient: by December, they’ll be “on board” again, and you’ll glide (or bounce!) toward success! Be ambitious Friday. Gemini May 21-June 20: Quietly, steadily plow through chores. Work, machinery, health, dependents form your main focus. All’s well – though boring. Relationships intensify all November – this could be love or hate, or both. There will certainly be words, you’ll be surprised at someone’s talkativeness (writativeness?). Love is more likely than hate, as an unexpected romantic mood steals over you, likely toward a past amour. Relationships demand diplomacy, but offer (quite limited) opportunity Sunday/Monday. Sex, lust, finances lure, unluckily Tuesday, luckily Wednesday (after dawn). Gentle love Friday/Saturday.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Romance, games, sports, creativity, speculation, charming kids, beauty and pleasure fill your days. You ride a winning streak! But a change takes place here, especially if you’re single. A person who seemed like a lightweight is ready to move into deeper territory with you, while somebody you thought was more solid, alluring (and possibly “fertile” as in home, babies, etc.) grows more evasive, even retreats. My advice: wait for the evasive one. He/ she is merely taking a wise “think session” for a few weeks. Work matters heat up all month: do it; 2011 will bring huge career luck. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The emphasis lies on your domestic scene: home, kids, parents, the essentials of survival. In business, shore up your foundations. Love grows intimate, supportive — or you look elsewhere. (All November, your romantic instincts perk up. This week onward, you’ll start to grow hopeful about someone chirpy, cheerful, perhaps met in a group.) A message from the past flows toward you – or you travel to a former haunt. Sunday/ Monday are romantic, but not hugely. Tackle chores midweek. Thursday eve through Saturday promotes relationships: be diplomatic – a good friendship awaits you! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Overall, this is an easy week, Virgo. Communications, errands, paperwork, details, casual conversations and acquaintances fill November. But Sunday/Monday draw you away from social areas: you need to shore up your foundations in some arena – get more sleep, repair the basement walls, fix a phone system, etc. Romance, beauty, an appetite for risk buoy you Tuesday to Thursday – enjoy! Tackle chores Thursday eve to Saturday, especially those communication tasks. Your domestic situation heats up – you might make a significant move (careful!) or realty purchase (OK) before 2010 ends.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Chase money, buy/sell, find new clients, seek a pay raise. A certain allure settles over you now to late month; it mildly attracts others, makes it easy for you to charm, persuade. Your communications intensify; you’ll be writing, talking, meeting and travelling. These activities link to partnership – e.g., you meet a viable mate while travelling, or you talk more with your spouse, etc. A very important trip might occur, bringing you wisdom, legal, educational or publishing success, taking you to a future mate, etc. But note: BIG relationship opportunities, meetings await you in 2011. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness remain at a yearly peak, so push ahead with valued projects, and/or start new ones. Two secondary changes happen now: 1) your monetary, spending picture, which went from first to second gear last week, now goes to third. For four weeks, your spending (and earning) can be heavily tied to investment or the net worth of your partner. Usually I’d recommend purchasing an investment now, but conditions are unpredictable, so be careful, alert. And 2) love, partnership quietly sink into a private, intimate, indecisive mode. Be patient! Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Rest, lie low, remain in the background. The less you are noticed, the better. Usually Nature ensures this, reducing your charisma for a while. But this November a “false energy” inspires and drives you, even sparks flirtations. It could get you in trouble, so think twice before you plunge into action, argument or a big gamble! (Positively, you might rescue someone.) A love affair might start – but it has a volatile, probably unhappy future. If you’re unattached, wait for the first half of 2011, when romance potentials will soar! Shop Wednesday. Sweet acquaintance Saturday.

Nov. 7 - Nov. 13 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Your social buoyancy continues, but for the rest of November it will serve your ambitions more successfully than your heart. VIPs, bosses, even parents favour you now to Nov. 28, while the same period only aids 1) love that is already established (making couples more private, intimate) and 2) clandestine or verboten affairs. Retreat for a rest Sunday/Monday. Contemplate, plan. Your energy surges Tuesday to Thursday afternoon – charge ahead, make your mark, start important projects. Chase money late Thursday to Saturday – there’s more of it! Possible sensual joy late Saturday. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Chase your ambitions, fulﬁl duties, be an exemplary citizen. Your reputation is being tested, observed, made. You’ll feel more hopeful than usual now to November’s end. Your popularity and social entanglements will rise. You might meet an attractive, intellectually lively, charming talker at a social function. But it’s not his/her brain you’re interested in. You might make two, even more, new friends, good ones – Sunday/Monday, or the rest of this month. But retreat Tuesday to Thursday afternoon – rest, plan. Your energy, charisma surge thence to Saturday. Love’s possible this night! Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Life has grown mellow, thoughtful lately (well, pretty mellow, as adventure or tension has generally ﬁlled this year – and to some degree, the last seven years). Your ambition zone heats up for the remainder of November – quick action, prompt responses are expected of you, bosses and VIPs are impatient. This trend is heavily laden with the possible fruits of success. Those impatient bosses are also generous; you can translate effort into money! An almost casual discussion could lead to a bigger “account” for you, or to “recapturing” an investment. Your lust rises. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
