Crown drops teacher sex charges BY

Ladner CoPS volunteers try to keep cool on River Road during last week’s heat wave while trying to keep drivers in check with the mobile speed monitoring station. While the weather has cooled this week, late last week the mercury hovered close to 30 degrees.

The sex assault charges against a local teacher were dropped this week.

On Tuesday, Crown counsel elected to stay the charges in the case against Robin Wait, the Delta Secondary teacher who was charged with two counts of sexual assault and two counts of sexual interference of a person under 16, said Neil MacKenzie, Crown counsel spokesperson.

“The charges were initially based on allegations of inappropriate touching,” he said, adding that it was determined that there is “no substantial likelihood of conviction” in the case.

Police were called to the Ladner high school early last November after a young girl reported that she had been assaulted by an unknown adult near the school gym.

After launching an investigation into the allegations, police arrested Wait on Nov. 6.

A second alleged incident, which prompted the second set of charges, came to light during the initial investigation.

Wait was suspended without pay by the Delta school district following his arrest.

School district spokesperson Deneka Michaud said his status with the school district will remain unchanged until the investigation is complete.

She said it’s not known how long that investigation will take.

Delta looking at fines for secondary suite violations BY

SANDOR GYARMATI

Delta is going to make it costly for anyone trying to pull a fast one when it comes to renting out an undeclared secondary suite.

Staff is recommending to council a series of amendments to

the secondary suite bylaw, which includes establishing an offence for anyone not having a secondary suite occupancy permit as well as providing false information to the municipality.

Offences that can be fined range from having more than one suite operating in a home, giv-

ing false information in order to get a water/sewer rate reduction, a secondary suite being voluntarily decommissioned only to be secretly reinstalled and not having a valid permit or displaying it.

Hugh Davies, Delta’s property use and compliance manager, said under the existing rules, if

someone signs a declaration at municipal hall that their secondary living unit is for family members and not closed off to the rest of a household, but, in fact, is a rented out separate living unit, the only recourse for Delta is to file a criminal charge.

Noting that having the matter

heard in criminal court is a costly and time-consuming exercise, Davies said the best way to deal with that situation would be to impose fines on the property owner.

He said making a false declaraSee SUITES page 3

Port Metro Vancouver’s mid-year statistics show a growth of six per cent overall.

Report shows continued growth at port

Six per cent growth so far this year evidence of the need to increase container capacity, says PMV president BY

SANDOR GYARMATI

sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com

Port Metro Vancouver’s 2012 mid-year statistics show a healthy continued growth of six per cent overall, according to a report released last week by the port authority.

The mid-year statistics report shows that Port Metro Vancouver handled 62.3 million tonnes of cargo through the end of June and, says the port authority, is on track for another strong year.

Among the growth categories is container traffic, setting a record in the first half of 2012 by growing six per cent, compared to the first half of 2011, to 1.3 million TEUs (20-foot-equivilant units). Both total foreign tonnage and total domestic tonnage increased over that time, meaning more business at Delta’s container port. Coal exports also posted record numbers, also meaning more business at Delta’s coal port.

Robin Silvester, president and CEO of Port Metro Vancouver, told the Optimist that while individual numbers are not released by terminal, the six per cent growth in containers is “across the gateway” and all terminals have shown growth.

“The fundamental message is we’re seeing slightly stronger growth than we saw

last year, pretty healthy growth numbers ...

A number of environmental studies are the containers that have actually got cargo already underway for T2, although the in them (heading to export) have slightly project may end up being built over several stronger growth.

SUITES from page 1 tion would result in a $500 fine, in addition to a $200 daily fine each day the suite doesn’t have an occupancy permit.

As for imposing fines for not having a secondary suite permit, a report to council notes Delta’s requirements for having an occupancy permit are consistent with the regulations for secondary suites in B.C.’s building code.

However, the problem arises when a home, which was built decades ago, does not meet other aspects of the current building code.

Davies said there are some basic things that can be added in older homes that won’t pose a financial burden, such as smoke detectors and weather stripping on doors connecting the upstairs and downstairs to prevent smoke spreading

in the event of fire.

Delta formally legalized secondary suites two years ago. The new bylaw requires that suites meet safety standards and are registered. Rented out suites are also subject to additional utility charges.

Davies noted that there are currently around 980 secondary suite applications involving homeowners who have filled out applications and are in the process of having their homes receive a first initial inspection to

go over what is needed to meet requirements. More than 430 occupancy permits have been issued to date.

Meanwhile, there’s around 2,000 homes that have had a statutory declaration signed indicating extra living units are not rental suites. Davies said that notices have also been sent out to a number of homeowners and enforcement action is pending on their unregistered secondary suites. He said bylaw inspectors are contacting

medium term growth of about five per cent, which means we will need extra capacity,” Silvester said.

The port authority has embarked on a two-year process to update its land use plan, starting with a series of stakeholder workshops that were held in April and May. More than 180 people representing government, First Nations, industry and community organizations attended those sessions.

Port Metro Vancouver, which recently released a summary report on those discussions, will continue to talk to stakeholders at the provincial and federal levels, as well as take a closer look at all the input that’s been gathered. The port authority will then draft some new policy goals and objectives before holding more stakeholder discussions.

Silvester said the plan is to finalize a new land use plan in 2013.

Meanwhile, B.C. Transportation Minister Blaire Lekstrom recently responded to Delta council’s request for serious consideration being given to a proposal to build an inland container terminal at Ashcroft. He said it is up to the private sector to determine if and when a viable business case can be made.

around 150 of those property owners every week.

“We’ve given them the documents telling them they’ve got to come in and get it done, and if they don’t do anything we start off by giving them a ticket right off the bat because we’ve warned them a number of times,” he said.

Davies said those property owners have the option of having their units decommissioned, but they will be fined if it’s discovered they reactivated them. He said

the initial estimates had Delta having around 7,000 secondary suites in total.

“As time goes on we find them, and we find them in different ways. People, of course, advertise them, we find them through neighbours complaining and our staff are also pro-active, so if we see something we think is a suite we’ll knock on the door. Most of the time we’re looking for compliance, we’re not looking to beat anyone up,” he added.

Bike thefts rise in Tsaw.

34 stolen in area so far this year, compared to 26 in 2011 BY

JESSICA KERR

jkerr@delta-optimist.com

Tsawwassen has seen an increase in bike thefts this summer and this week Delta police arrested a Vancouver resident in possession of one of them.

“Over the course of the summer, Delta police have noted an increase in the thefts of bicycles in the Tsawwassen area,” said department spokesperson Const. Ciaran Feenan.

In 2011, there were 26 bikes stolen in Tsawwassen.

So far this year, there has already been 34 bike thefts in the area.

“I very nearly became a victim of a second bike theft outside a second food store.”

The thefts appear to have spiked in the month of July, which saw a total of 11 thefts. That’s up from the four that were seen in July 2011. So far this month, there have been eight bike thefts in Tsawwassen, which is up from a total of three in August 2011.

“The majority of the thefts have taken place along 56th Street, particularly from bicycle racks around local malls,” Feenan said.

Tsawwassen resident Morris Mass had his bike stolen outside a local grocery store last month. In a letter to the Optimist last week, he said he almost became a victim again, despite locking up his bike.

“I very nearly became a victim of a second bike theft outside a second food store,” he said. “I am just one of many victims of a recent blizzard of bike thefts, which have been occurring ... despite the employment of bike locks.”

On Tuesday, Delta police, as a result of an ongoing investigation, located a bike that had been stolen on Aug. 4.

A 32-year-old Vancouver resident was arrested for possession of stolen property under $5,000. He is due to appear in court at a later date.

Delta police recommend that residents protect their bikes by: securing them with quality locks at all times; writing down the serial number of all bikes;

Treaty process criticized

Hospice Cottage Charity Shoppe

As another First Nation signs a treaty, some are speaking out against B.C.’s processes BY

Great Bargains for *Back to School*

SANDOR GYARMATI

sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com

Another B.C. First Nation is about to join Tsawwassen in a growing list getting a treaty, but not everyone is happy about the deals.

Last month, the Tla’amin First Nation (also known as Sliammon), north of Powell River, voted in favour of a proposed treaty deal with the federal and provincial governments. It’s a deal that will provide 70 kilometres of oceanfront land, resource revenue sharing, cash and their own self-government.

The total value of the treaty is estimated to be over $100 million, according to the B.C. Treaty Commission, which applauded the outcome.

The Tla’amin joins a growing list to ratify a treaty under the B.C. treaty process. The Tsawwassen First Nation was the first among them. The TFN took a particular interest in what was taking place at Tla’amin, recently speaking out against a group of demonstrators who halted an earlier vote by blocking an entrance to a voting centre.

Supporting the leadership and demanding the right to vote for Tla’amin members, TFN chief Kim Baird pointed out how her own First Nation reached out to all eligible voters and informed them of their choices during the 2007 TFN ratification vote. She also addressed criticisms of the Tla’amin process that were leveled by external organizations, as well as a 2009 UN report criticizing the Tsawwassen process.

“It is easier to make allegations against process and throw stones than it is to mount real arguments about substantive elements on the agreements,” said Baird.

The UN report was completely uninformed and those who wrote it never consulted with her First Nation or provide an opportunity to respond, Baird said.

“We invite anyone who questions our engagement and consultation processes to pay us a visit and learn about the work we do,” she said.

Three years ago, TFN member Bertha Williams, an outspoken critic of the Tsawwassen treaty, and Arthur Manuel from the Neskonlith Indian Band, went to Geneva, Switzerland to file a protest with the UN about the B.C.

TFN member Bertha Williams is one of several other First Nation peoples who have spoken out against the treaty process. treaty process.

Saying the TFN deal was a violation of her aboriginal rights, Williams said the treaty eliminated a longstanding aboriginal title in which land belonged to families.

The chair of the UN Committee for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination subsequently requested Canada respond to the complaints, including looking into allegations of “financial inducements” to conclude agreements, a reference to claims that TFN elders were paid off to ensure a positive vote. Williams and members of other B.C. First Nations made another presentation to the UN committee earlier this year.

They were once again critical of the B.C. treaty process, noting, among other things, that First Nations people are not given any opportunity to negotiate

issues regarding their territories unless they deal with the treaty commission.

The submission also raised issues regarding the TFN vote.

The B.C. Treaty Commission on its website has made a special effort to highlight new native self-governments, as well as the TFN treaty. The commission also points to the TFN’s pending residential and commercial growth plans.

“We have been the victims of industrialization and urban development on our front steps to the benefit of everyone but us,” Baird is quoted.

The commission also comments that in the next few years that will change, a reference to the TFN becoming a major player in the Lower Mainland.

The second election of the TFN’s new self-government takes place this fall.

A group of local youths have rallied together to raise funds to help a friend in need.

Last month, Tsawwassen resident Mitch Lepore and a group of friends were on a weekend camping trip on Galiano Island. While hiking around the island on July 21, Lepore slipped and fell of a cliff. He suffered a major head injury and had to be air lifted to Victoria General Hospital, said friend Brennan Phillips.

He was in a coma for eight days before waking up with a severe brain injury.

“Since then he’s been making huge strides in recovery,” Phillips said.

The last provincial election in 2009 saw a record low of just 50 per cent of eligible voters cast a ballot, while the municipal elections held throughout B.C. last November were even worse, with less than 30 per cent bothering to vote.

Given polling stations are located right in the neighbourhood, and marking a ballot takes all of a minute or two, it’s not that onerous a task to vote, but the trend, at all levels of government in Canada, is for fewer and fewer people to do so.

Although it’s a sad commentary on today’s society, I have to give the B.C. Liberal government marks for at least trying to do something about the situation.

Earlier this month the province asked the chief electoral officer to convene an independent panel to examine the potential for using Internet voting in both provincial and municipal elections.

Essentially what we’re saying to people is that if you’re too lazy, or somehow can’t find 15 minutes to spare over a 12hour period on election day, we’ll make it easier on you. If walking down the block or around the corner is simply more than you can handle, we’ll bring the polling booth to your desktop or your mobile device.

Should online voting make its way to B.C., I suspect it will drive numbers higher like it did recently in Ontario, where 34 communities that used it saw voter turnout increase anywhere from four to 20 per cent.

So for those where access is indeed the hurdle, Internet voting will be a saviour, but what about those whose reason for not showing up to perform their civic duty is less about convenience and more about contempt?

The steady decline in turnout over the years is not all due to busy schedules or wanting to stay home to catch the hockey playoffs on TV. Many don’t vote because they’re turned off by the unseemly nature of politics and find the whole process pointless because nothing changes regardless of who gets elected.

If that’s the case, and I’d have to say it’s the leading cause of absenteeism at the polls these days, then I’m not so sure online voting is going to do the trick. I don’t think there’s any doubt that making the practice of casting a ballot more convenient will, at least to some extent, help reverse a troubling trend, but it’s far from a panacea for the bigger and more complex issue of low voter turnout.

Politicians are going to have to look a lot deeper to find those answers.

Harris barn carries long history and well worth preserving DOUG HUSBAND

COMMUNITY COMMENT After driving around Delta recently, here’s my rant for the day.

As an oldertimer (not old yet) of Ladner, I sometimes yearn for yesteryear.

The local traffic and general congestion becomes unsettling.

One cannot drive on Highway 17 or Highway 10 without being stuck behind a large truck with a pup trailer attached or a large tractor trailer container unit. I come from an era where Delta had approximately 4,000 residents, Ladner with its board sidewalks and Surrey had 25,000 residents most of whom had outhouses for sanitary purposes. No, I don’t yearn for that and yes it does make me sound old and maybe a little grumpy. I do like to reflect back to Delta’s early history, which is my main purpose today.

The retention and preservation

by Corporation of Delta of the Harris barn to be located on the Kirkland property deserves some

attention. As always there are detractors concerned over the cost and rightly so sometimes. A good friend of mine once said, “The quality is long remembered after the price is forgotten.” This will be true in this case. The Harris barn is an excellent model of original hay barns in Delta. It’s design of wide and high doors provide access for farm wagons with high loads of baled hay. This barn was originally owned by Fred Hopcott on his farm on Tilbury Island, located next to the Fraser River.

The barn stored hay to be shipped via a nearby dock up the river and into the valley. The late 1930s brought changes to the farm business. Horses were being replaced by tractors and the need for hay and strictly designed hay barns was reduced. In 1940 Norman (Normie) Harris purchased the Hopcott barn and moved it to 5627 Crescent Island Rd. (64th Ave.) in Delta. The barn was originally built around 1900 according to family. The lumber was milled locally from first growth high quality timber.

The barn was disassembled and reassembled by master carpenters Raymond Lowe and Fred Land with help from the Harris’. The barn was converted for dairy use, housing 32 milk cows, heifers and calves.

The Optimist reserves the right to edit letters and the decision to publish is at the discretion of the editor or publisher. All letters must be signed, dated and include the writer’s phone number

To give background on the family, David Harris, grandfather to Normie, arrived in Canada in 1870 and settled in Ontario. In 1899 he and his family arrived in Delta and took up farming on Crescent Island. The Harris family married into the pioneering Burr farm family. Previous councils had the foresight to preserve and relocate the Burr house (Burrvilla) to Deas Island Park as a prime example of early farm lifestyle. The Burr house was built by Raymond Lowe and Fred Land, very active builders of Victorian style quality homes of early Delta. Normie Harris died in 1964 at age 53. The large David Harris clan of six generations flourishes today as part of Delta’s farm community.

We are not only preserving a valuable structure but a valued family name in our past and present farm history.

Delta’s heritage committee rates the structure at the 98th percentile of its historical criteria, therefore well worth preserving.

The gala barn raising was held on Aug. 19 on the Kirkland property and will host many a fine community event.

Hope you were there to enjoy the moment.

And a good night to you...

Hagel.

Does that sound like the decision of a body free to make arms-length rulings independent of government?

2. On that project we heard that the ALC had ‘reluctantly’ approved exclusions of farmland needed for this blight on the landscape of our community.

Does that sound like the decision of a body free to make arms-length rulings independent of government?

So the question remains: will there be a full, independent and comprehensive assessment of the cumulative effects of all projects past and future on this fragile ecosystem in the estuary of a major river? Since environmental assessment has been further gutted by the infamous omnibus budget bill, we should not expect that it will. And so I agree with Mr. Robertson.

It is up to us.

Thanks also to Sandor Gyarmati for a well-researched summary of the history.

Time to go with light rail SkyTrain fit for only small people mover type systems.

SkyTrain is driverless and being so costs more to operate than LRT because instead of drivers, SkyTrain has attendants, over 250 of them at last count and with more technical employees needed for smooth operation, makes SkyTrain more expensive to operate than modern LRT. Combined with SkyTrain’s huge construction costs, makes SkyTrain a very bad bargain for those who have bought into the proprietary mini-metro.

The Yongin SkyTrain, the Everline, completed in 2009, has remained idle due to large projected operating costs and embarrassed city officials have only just signed a contract with Bombardier Inc. (the owners of the SkyTrain system) in June of this year, to operate the mini-metro for three years.

The city will assume all

operating deficits!

Closer to home, the Canada Line metro, a conventional metro (the only metro in the world designed to have less capacity than a streetcar) was cheaper to build than the proprietary SkyTrain!

The SkyTrain minimetro system has become a pariah of transit systems, yet TransLink, which is sinking fast in a quicksand of debt, still plans for more of the obsolete mini-metro.

Can’t any civic or provincial politicians draw a straight line from SkyTrain to TransLink’s financial chaos? Evidently not!

Today, modern light rail has proven to carry more people, with faster, at a far cheaper cost than SkyTrain.

Who buys with or even plans for SkyTrain today?

It seems it is only the rubes in Victoria, Metro Vancouver and TransLink do.

Editor: The ongoing SkyTrain versus light rail debate continues in the Lower Mainland, which is curious because elsewhere modern LRT made SkyTrain obsolete over two decades ago.

Has anyone at TransLink or the SkyTrain Lobby noticed that no one builds with SkyTrain anymore?

Over 33 years being on the market, only seven have been built. Compare this with over 150 new light rail lines being built during the same period.

It’s not SkyTrain, rather its the family of driverless light-metros that have been made obsolete by LRT simply because you can operate LRT as lightmetro, on a grade separated guideway like Seattle, yet retain the ability to operate as light-rail or a streetcar on the same route if need be. This inherent flexibility of modern light rail made the much more expensive

Vandalism both aggravating & saddening Editor: I will admit when I saw the graffiti on my mom and dad’s fence I felt angry, by the time I parked on their driveway I felt an overwhelming feeling of sadness.

Sadness that someone would target a 75-year-old’s home because I can only assume they were bored, had a can of pink spray paint and maybe were trying to impress someone.

I don’t believe the culprits will read this perhaps their parents/guardians will.

My dad has health issues, as well as helping my mom while she battles cancer.

The thing is, these socalled young adults don’t care what extra stress home owners have going on while adding more onto their plates.

Well it seems like Ladner has a few bad apples, who feel it is OK to spray paint a fence or two, throw rocks at the Baptist Church marquee, or smash glass beer bottles at parks where young kids play.

My parents did not deserve for this to be done to their property.

No one deserves/needs the added stress and cost to clean up someone else’s bad choices.

Do you know where the young adults who live with you are, who their friends are and what they are doing all hours of the night? Are your kids sleeping all day, do you bother to ask where they have been and with whom?

If they are not paying you rent, you have every right to ask these questions and get answers for them.

This is the second time I had a lack of explanation for my two young sons as to why kids who are older than they are, feel they can do this, and yes, even get away with it.

Guests of Jesus This week we have welcomed over 90 children to our Vacation Bible School. We consider them guests of Jesus. Other churches in our community also have summer programs for children; sports camps, music camps, drama and arts camps. These are staffed by a highly organized and well-prepared volunteer army, often with paid staff support.

The caring, the creativity, and the commitment that these teams reflect is impressive. It’s one way our churches support our community — by welcoming children and their families.

Another way these day camps serve our community is by allowing younger leaders to take on responsibility with the oversight of others.

This is such a fruitful leadership experience for youth. We provide the structure, the content, the support and most importantly the opportunity for them to step up and make a contribution.

And they do! I am so proud of the leadership team, from 11-year-old assistant crew leaders to 70-year-old support staff.

This is some of what churches do best — providing opportunities for generations to connect, serve together, and to get to know each other better.

Jesus said, “Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me...” (Mark 9:37) And I am thankful to be a small part of this good news in our community.

Save-On employees honoured Ladner’s Ray Ramsay and Jason Shack receive Diversity Awards

A pair of Ladner SaveOn-Foods employees were recognized with awards last week.

The Diversity Award, awarded by Overwaitea Food Group and UFCW 1518, recognizes team members who actively support diversity initiatives.

Recipients of this award receive a $500 donation in their name to the diversity organization or charity that they support.

Ray Ramsay and Jason Shack, both Ladner residents, received the award.

Ramsay has been working at the Ladner store for over four years providing leadership in the Changes department.

He enjoys getting involved in the community and is not bashful about getting others involved with his charity of choice — Wigs for Kids.

Wigs for Kids was originally formed in 2006 to raise desperately needed funding for children requiring hairpieces to replace their own hair lost during treatment for cancer and other serious childhood illnesses.

Since then the program has expanded to include feeding supplies and medications that are not covered by health care. Over the last five years, Wigs for Kids silent auctions have raised over $300,000 for this program.

His years of experience in the music industry as a record label representative and promoter have helped “drum” up support.

Shack, who has been at the Ladner Save-On store for over 12 years, has been working with an organiza-

tion called KIVA. It is a non-profit organization with a mission to connect people through interest-free lending to help alleviate poverty. He has made a number of loans using his own finances to provide financial support

to people in Mexico, Kenya and Peru.

His efforts have helped create better lives for families in those countries by assisting them with a variety of needs including housing, farming and business supplies.

Car wash to support students’ Quebec trip The Grade 6 and 7 students from Ladner Elementary are fundraising for their 2013 Quebec trip, where they will spend eight days at L’Auberge du Mont. While there, the students will be partaking in activities at science centres, museums, the Biodome, old Quebec visits, Huron village explorations, Montreal tours and more. Each

child’s trip will cost just over $2,000, so fundraising is mandatory.

The students will be having a “by donation” car wash at the Otter Coop gas station in East Ladner this Sunday, Aug. 26 between 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The group is also planning more fundraisers to in the coming months.

Hyundai on hot streak with Elantra Two new variants, sporty coupe and Euro-style GT, being added to popular sedan line DAVID CHAO & BOB MCHUGH

BY

Hyundai is on a hot streak, thanks to two new variants being added to its hugely popular Elantra

Sedan. A sporty new Elantra Coupe should prove to be a keen competitor for the Honda Civic Coupe, and possibly even more interesting is the new Elantra GT — a Euro-style

five-door hatchback.

Elantra fell narrowly short in its bid to de-throne the Honda Civic as the best selling car in Canada in 2011, a feat that no other car has achieved in the last

14 years.

The added sales impetus that Coupe and GT are expected to generate could be just what Elantra needs to topple the king. Coupe and GT are now available at

The Elantra Coupe was designed at Hyundai’s North American Design Center in Irvine, California.

Hyundai dealers.

The attractive ‘Fluidic Sculpture’ design elements that helped make the sedan so popular are also evident in Coupe and GT. Under hood they also share drivetrain and other mechanical bits with the sedan. Hard performance numbers are roughly the same, yet, Coupe and GT are still expected to appeal to a different type of car buyer — it’s all in the delivery.

The Elantra Coupe is packaged and priced just like the sedan. Some suspension tweaking, however, allows it turn up the fun-todrive dynamics dial a notch or two. In other words, here’s another outstanding value offering from Hyundai.

Power comes from a 1.8litre ‘Nu’ inline four-cylinder with D-CVVT (Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing) and it’s mated to either a (standard) six-speed manual or an optional sixspeed automatic transmission. While not the most powerful in class, Hyundai does claim best power-toweight and fuel economy.

And like the Elantra sedan it gets an outstanding 4.9 L/100 km on the highway.

Longer and wider than a Civic Coupe, the Elantra Coupe also has a longer

wheelbase, which helps give it more cabin space on the inside. In fact, Hyundai claims the Elantra Coupe has more interior volume than a mid-sized Honda Accord Coupe. Its rear seat is certainly more usable, even for a taller than average person.

Designed at Hyundai’s North American Design Center in Irvine, California and built in Ulsan, Korea, the Elantra Coupe comes with connections for iPod, USB and others, plus Bluetooth hands-free phone system with voice recognition. You can also add a seven-inch touch-screen navigation system with rearview camera, proximity keyless entry and push-button ignition.

Hyundai Elantra Coupe Specs Price (trim/MSRP): GLS/$19,949 & SE/$25,199 Engine (litre): 1.8 Horsepower @ RPM: 148 @ 6,500 Torque @ RPM (lb-ft): 131 @ 4,700 Transmission: 6MT or 6AT Curb Weight (kg): 1,219 Fuel Economy (M/T) City / Highway: 6.8 / 4.9 Fuel Economy (A/T) City / Highway: 7.3 / 5.0 See ELANTRA page 17

DriveTıme ELANTRA from page 16 Elantra GT is based on a European market car called the Hyundai i30. In Canada, the GT will replace the Elantra Touring, a wagon style vehicle that Hyundai also called a five-door.

The GT comes with a Euro-tuned chassis and its taller body is a slightly different take on Hyundai’s ‘Fluidic Sculpture’ styling theme. There’s a very strong field of competitors in the five-door segment and it includes models like Ford Focus, Mazda3 Sport, Toyota Matrix and Volkswagen Golf.

GT comes with some unique features, including a Driver Selectable Steering Mode (DSSM) system, a panoramic sunroof and a rear-view camera with a unique dirt shield that automatically opens when reverse gear is selected. Yet, the fun to drive Elantra GT also has a practical side.

Driver selectable steering assist is a feature that we’ll likely see on more new cars, as the power assist for steering systems is electric on more and more new vehicles, these days.

The settings are Comfort, Normal and Sport and power assist diminishes and feel improves in the same order. That said, don’t expect a BMW-like transformation.

The GT’s Euro-tuned suspension makes it a vehicle to savor on a twisty section of road. It has a stronger and more rigid chassis than the Elantra Touring and comes with a strut-type suspension up front and a V-beam torsion axle with coil springs and gas-charged shocks in the rear. Suspension stabilizer bars are also fitted front and rear.

Hyundai claims the GT has more passenger volume than its main five-door competitors and a 60/40 split rear seat can expand the cargo area. The rear seat cushions can flip forward, if you require a completely flat cargo floor and 1,444 litre of storage area.

Coupe and GT are two very good additions to the Hyundai line-up and they give Elantra an even better shot at becoming the number one bestselling car in Canada this year.

Legion hosts show ‘n’ shine The Tsawwassen Legion is hosting its second annual Car and Motorcycle Show N’ Shine this Sunday.

Organizers expect 75 exhibitors based on the phone calls and inquiries they’ve been getting.

One of the car owners who’ll be showing off his vehicle is Tsawwassen’s Victor Tutte. Tutte bought his 1975 Dodge Charger SE on June 30, 1975. It has been meticulously cared for and driven only 61,337 miles in total.

He has the framed sales agreement for the car, kept undercover at his same home address for 37 years, mounted on his garage wall.

Tutte bought the car from Delta Chrysler Ltd., then located at 56th Street, for a whopping $7,338.

He’s a veteran of over 120 car shows and was the first to phone in his registration for the Tsawwassen show.

Exhibitors can register after 8 a.m. when the

pancake breakfast starts and judging will take place at 1 p.m. Awards will be given out at about 2 p.m.

There will be goody bags handed out to the first 50 exhibitors and they all get a free pancake breakfast.

The Diehards will be playing ‘50s and ‘60s tunes at the show n’ shine. They start at 1:30 p.m. for a couple of sets and then again at 6 p.m.

Every one working at the event is a volunteer and 10 per cent of net proceeds will go to the Association of Injured Motorcyclists. The balance of proceeds goes to the Legion. The branch pledges $1,000 a month to the Delta Hospital Foundation and in total donates over $35,000 to community organizations.

There will also be a food bank drop off box at the show n’ shine.

The Tsawwassen Legion is located at 221835-56th St.

Final movie night of the summer

The festivities start early with a pre-movie block party

T

he third and final installment of this year’s Tsawwassen Outdoor Movie Night series begins with a block party at the Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall this Saturday at 6:30 p.m.

“The back parking area of the mall from Joe’s Farm Market to the Oliva building tunnel turns into a giant pedestrian-only zone for this very unique pre-movie Block Party,” explained Ana Arciniega, executive director of the Tsawwassen Business Improvement Association.

“This event has a very different flavour than the nights at the park, as we use this commercial public space as a celebration site to end the summer on a high note.”

The evening, sponsored by the Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall and Century Group, has many activities planned including a magic show by Ronald McDonald and performances by Los Gitanos School of Spanish Dance, as well as lots of activities.

“This venue is so much fun for a block party — the area fills up with people,” added Arciniega.

Tomorrow is the last chance to take in an outdoor movie in Tsawwassen until next summer.

“There will be many crafts, games, face painting, a photo station, pottery, a big

piñata for the children and more.”

Our community partners for the evening

are the TOOB, who will set up a concession tent with food provided by Thrifty Foods and popcorn.

Food and beverage can also be purchased at the mall at Peekaboo Sushi, Domino’s Pizza and Blenz Coffee.

Proceeds from popcorn and concession sales from all three movie nights will benefit one local group.

This year it’s the Rivers End Rangers, the senior branch of the Ladner/Tsawwassen Girl Guides, who help out before, during and after the event.

“We want to notify the public that parking will not be allowed in the specific area starting at 6 p.m.,” said Arciniega.

“As the movie is shown in the parking lot, chairs are definitely needed and blankets are always a very good idea,” she said.

The movie begins at dusk (approximately 9 p.m. depending on the light).

For a complete list of pre-movie festival activities and for updates in case of bad weather conditions, please check the BIA website at www.shoptsawwassen.com, or the Tsawwassen Business Improvement Association Facebook page.

Bamfield — on the edge BY

CHERIE THIESSEN

Optimist contributor

T

he Frances Barkley nudges the pier on Bamfield’s west side, in close proximity to the gleaming red and white buildings of the province’s oldest Coast Guard station.

A boardwalk twists along the inlet with cottages sprouting docks perching alongside.

The proprietor of the tiny general store is hanging out a sign: “Closed for Freight Receiving.”

Our binoculars have never been far from our eyes during this three-hour voyage down wildernessfringed Alberni Inlet from Port Alberni to Barkley Sound.

We’ve spotted eagles, inched by rainbows, and chugged in and out of rainstorms and occasional splatters of sun. The passenger freighter’s crew of five is casual and friendly, and the captain, John Adams, has pointed out interesting spots along the way. Kildonan, for example, was a thriving cannery village of 500 in

1914, but now is home to only a few summer cottagers and fewer still full timers. In summer, the Frances Barkley also stops at the old Sechart whaling station, now a lodge catering to kayakers.

This Norwegian built ship, which can carry 200 passengers and 100 tons of cargo, docks wherever it’s needed: at fish farms, small settlements like Kildonan, and even float homes.

Don Kapalka from the Imperial Eagle Lodge meets us in his cherry red ATV and we jolt along the steep and rocky track. The Kapalkas bought the property in October 2010, adding kitchenettes to their five cottages, improving their one-acre garden and enlarging the dock to accommodate guests arriving by boat.

This is starting to remind me of the Long Beach I used to know 35 years ago, with its rough dirt road snaking from Port Alberni through to the Pacific Rim, and that feeling of being at the very edge of the world, before the area got ‘tamed.’

Bamfield, after all, is

very close to Long Beach’s southern extremity at Ucluelet, as crows fly and boats bounce.

It’s also the northern terminus of the West Coast Trail.

We arrive at the lodge, and — eager to explore — stow our luggage in our immaculate accommodation, soon slogging along the rocky track in search of Brady’s Beach, a scenic and popular public beach and cove.

Twenty minutes later we emerge unto an expansive beach, with tidal pools to explore and huge stacks to clamber on, while monster rollers toss up spray, and mallards play hide and seek.

We wander until we’re ‘beachcombed out’ and ready to explore Bamfield’s more developed side.

East and west Bamfield are split by the inlet, connected only by boat. With twice the population and most of the amenities, East Bamfield is home to the well-known Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre, dedicated to education and research. Here is also where

The Frances Barkley arrives at the West Bamfield dock.

the pub hangs out, along with a motel, restaurant, marine shop, and much of the population of 250.

It’s not always easy to find a skipper to ferry you across the inlet, but because we’re at the Imperial Eagle, we’re in luck. Don operates several boats and water taxi operator is one of the many hats he wears, along with fishing guide and proprietor.

We wind up the day with a provisioning trip to the tiny general store and head ‘home’ to cook dinner in our snug cottage.

The next day we’re meeting Sheryl and John Mass, operators of Broken Islands

Adventure Tours.

The day dawns brightly and we head into Barkley Sound aboard their 27foot vessel to explore the Broken Islands and to look for bears, whales and sea lions.

Our three-hour tour stretches into four as we linger to watch two humpback whales feeding, to snap photos of sea lions, and to study two beachcombing black bears.

Surfing in the Pacific’s massive rollers, I gulp saltwater-scented air so sweet I can feel it down to my toes.

We even have time to snugly circumnavigate a few of the 100-plus unin-

habited islands that make up that kayaker’s nirvana, the Broken Island Group.

The traditional territory of the Nuu-chah-nulth people for thousands of years, these deserted islands shelter many important archaeological sites and middens, some off limits.

The next day we re-board the Frances Barkley, on a sunny May return that stretches like spandex.

Experiencing life on the coast the way it was once lived, we mind not a bit that the return trip is two hours longer.

Tackling that post-workout pain p.j. wren

Well on Your Way

I

am a firm believer that if exercise doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you.

However, this train of thought can also cause some muscle soreness the next day.

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS), is that pain you feel the next day (or even the day after that) after a particularly brutal workout.

It is quite common with people just starting out with an exercise program (I like to tell my new clients that our first date will be the most painful one), as well as with experienced exercisers who dramatically change-up their program, or increase the time or intensity of their current one.

DOMS is a normal

response within the body, and is thought to be the result of microscopic tearing of the muscle fibers.

The amount of tearing depends on how hard you went the day before in the gym, as well as how long you went and what type of exercise you did.

Some exercises are quite innocent, while certain other types will leave you wishing you stayed in bed for the day.

These latter types of exercises are called eccentric movements.

An eccentric movement, or exercise, is anything that has you going with gravity, such as the down phase of a bicep curl, push-up, or a squat. Eccentric contractions also include running down stairs and running downhill.

Do a lot of this type of training and chances are high that you will have a visit from DOMS the next day.

How do you relieve that muscle soreness, once you

have it? There are a few tricks that will get you through the day.

Move it While you may want to sit down and never get up again, that is the worse thing that you can do for your body. You need to keep the circulation going and the muscle fibers firing.

Aim for what is called an “Active Recovery” workout.

This is a low-level, lowimpact workout that gets the body moving without taxing your muscles. A gentle yoga class or a long walk are two great examples.

Eat clean When you have microscopic tearing within the muscle spindles, chances are also very high that there is inflammation. To help reduce inflammation, add foods to your diet that are rich in omega-3s, such as salmon, flax, avocado, walnuts, pumpkin seeds and fish oil, while reducing inflammatory foods like

feel will be sore the next day.

sugar, wheat and processed foods. Other fantastic anti-inflammatory foods include: broccoli, cauliflower, kale, cabbage, berries, green tea, cinnamon, turmeric, parsley and garlic (for a more detailed list log onto: www.disaboom. com/nutrition/top-50-antiinflammatory-foods).

Heat After you have iced and reduced the inflammation, heat is your next plan of attack.

Heat increases the circulation in the body by opening up the blood vessels and this in turn brings fresh blood in to repair the injured tissue. However, do not jump into a hot tub right after a workout. Heat right after will exacerbate the inflammation. Do it the next day, and preferably after you have iced.

Roll it out One technique that I use is a roller. I am not a fan of foam rollers; instead, I like the “Travel Roller” and use it on a weekly basis to massage the sore areas of my body (www.travelroller. com).

Ice Immediately after a workout, icing your muscles can do wonders for reducing the inflammation and DOMS. Athletes jump into ice baths after their workouts, but for those of us who are less extreme (and don’t have a freezer full of ice cubes), a cold shower will also work, as well as icing direct areas that you

P

Protein To ensure that you have enough amino acids to help repair the muscle tissue that you just broke down in the gym, aim for 20-40 grams of protein after your workout (the more muscle mass you have the greater the intake).

Protein also requires a carbohydrate to help transport it into the muscle and

regulate your insulin levels.

A couple of my favourite post-workout snacks are Greek-style yogurt with berries, or a protein smoothie mixed with almond milk, a banana and frozen strawberries.

So, did I scare you off of exercise?

I hope not.

My intention, instead, was to let you know that yes, it is completely normal to be sore after a workout. You don’t want to be crippled after every workout, mind you, but if you are looking for change and results, every so often you will encounter my friend DOMS. So, when you do, please give him my regards and then kick his butt out with the tried and true methods that I have laid out for you.

Amazing ride takes ’96 Heat to national title After repeating as provincial champions, girls fastpitch team goes the long route to win Canadian crown in Ontario Delta ’96 Heat rep “A” fastpitch team capped a remarkable season in grand style, capturing the gold medal at the U16 Canadian Championships in Brantford, ON. The girls began the 2012 campaign with high expectations, having pulled off the rare feat of winning the B.C. title the previous summer as a first-year team at the Bantam age level. They lived up to the lofty expectations by by piling victories then repeating as provincial champions. Making the run even more impressive was losing two key players — MacKenzie Welsh and Kaitlin Fraser — to season-ending injuries at tournament in Oregon back in June.

All that was left was for the Heat to prove they were the best team in the nation and they did just that despite facing more adversity.

Delta began round-robin against the same Manitoba team that had bounced them from the nationals a year earlier. This time it was no contest as the Heat exploded for 14 runs over a three inning stretch to cruise to a 15-1 victory.

Victories over PEI (12-0) and Alberta #1 (5-0) set the stage for an all B.C. battle with the ’96 White Rock Renegades. Holly Speers led off with a solo home run to put the Heat in flight. A single from Kennedy Bailey and a walk to Marley Parker put two on board for Lexie Brenneis who blasted a three-run homer. Additional hits by Cassidy King, Haili Pettifer and Taylor Gillis resulted in a 6-0 lead after one and the Heat rolled to a 12-0 win.

The girls then concluded round-robin play with victories against Mississauga (5-0) and Saskatchewan (6-0) to earn the top seed for the playoff round with an amazing 55-1 run differential. The highlight of the Saskatchewan game was winning pitcher Carolyn Thoveson allowing just one hit.

What appeared to be a seemingly easy path to gold took a sudden turn when the Heat were dumped 7-3 by the Victoria Devils in a rematch of the provincial final. The result meant Delta would need to roll off four straight wins to realize their title hopes in the double

Players and coaches from the ’96 Delta Heat girls fastpitch team were all smiles after their big win at nationals in Brantford, ON. knockout format.

The Heat began the climb back into contention with an 8-1 victory over the Burnaby Oakeys. Gillis and Bailey each had three hits, while Brenneis and Bailey drove in two runs each.

Winning pitcher Francais Olexa allowed just two hits.

Delta then bounced the

Brampton Blazers 5-1, keyed by a grand slam home run from Speers that cashed in Montana Turnovitsky, King and Pettifer.

The team then leaned on a big time pitching performance by Parker in a 1-0 win over Mississauga. Not only did she strikeout 10 in a complete game perfor-

mance, she also homered for the game’s only run.

The rested Devils awaited in the championship game but it was the Heat who came out full of energy.

The locals pounded Victoria pitching to the tune of eight runs in two innings as they cruised to a 14-0 mercy rule victory as Parker picked up

her third win of the day.

The team also includes: Siara Couper, Paige Harbord and Jennifer Linde. King and Gillis were pick-up players from the ’97 White Rock Renegades and ’96 Abbotsford Outlaws repsectively. The Heat are coached

by Bill Olexa, Bob Houtman and Kim Wright.

Ladner’s Brenneis a first team all-star and top batter at nationals MARK BOOTH

Lexie Brenneis has only been playing fastpitch for two years.

It has taken Lexie Brenneis two years to accomplish what most rep fastpitch players can only dream of in a lifetime.

The Ladner catcher had a leading role in the Delta Heat capturing the recent U16 Canadian championships in Branford, ON. The clean-up hitter was selected a first team all-star and named the tournament’s top batter thanks to a sizzling .500 average (16 hits in 32 at bats) and 11 RBIs that included a three-run homer.

Her magical run helped cap a dream season for the Heat that also included winning the provincial championship for the second straight season. But what makes Brenneis’ accomplishments even more impressive is she didn’t start playing fastpitch until last year.

Tides at Tsawwassen Pacific Standard Time. Height in feet

The soon-to-be Grade 11 student at Delta secondary school grew up playing among boys in the Ladner Minor Baseball Association where she more than held her own as an effective pitcher.

Brenneis played right through the Bantam level when juggling two teams had become too much.

This season, she focused only on fastpitch and it helped take her game to another level.

“It was a big break for me,” said Brenneis of her performance at nationals. “I had struggled a bit at provincials and knew I had to just grin and bear it. I really focused on what I was doing and that pushed me. It was the time where I really had to help my team out.

“We worked very hard through the winter and the whole season. We wanted to live up to everybody’s expectations, especially our own.”

It was after helping Team B.C. win gold at the Bantam Girls National Baseball Championships

two summers ago when Brenneis decided to try fastpitch. She initially attended tryouts for the Richmond Islanders before heading over to the Heat evaluation camp where she immediately felt comfortable.

“They just made me feel like I was already part of the team,” she recalled. “It definitely was a team I wanted to play for.”

Brenneis said it took a while to adjust to hitting from balls the pitching circle compared to the baseball mound but once she got the timing down, she started to produce.

With her ever-growing fastpitch resumé, Brenneis has promptly developed into a university prospect and hopes to earn a scholarship to a U.S. school.

Playing for the national team is also in her long term goals and the way she has taken this sport by storm, seems like a very realistic one.

Reflect instead on memories, of all the happy years.

Recall to mind the way he spoke and all the things he said, his strength, his courage, the way he lived, remember these instead.

“We meet someone and share a connection that grows stronger and more beautiful over time…”

Wayne’s giving heart gave way and he entered into the arms of Jesus unexpectedly on August 21st.

He loyally served at Lehigh Cement for 46 years and his knowledge and mentoring of many at the plant will be missed.

The loss of his quick wit and passion for life will leave a void in the beauty of the daily lives of those who knew him as evidenced by the time he spent in his garden, on the golf course and watching for the best deal.

He leaves behind his loving wife Joy, his faithful sidekick Duncan, 2 grown children (Jason and Jennifer), 2 grown step-children (Ryan and Krista) and Jakob and Ella who affectionately called him Papa.

Wayne’s giving and generous heart will be sorely missed by those who knew him and loved him.

A Memorial Service will be held at Delta Funeral Home, 5329 Ladner Trunk Road, Delta, BC on Monday, August 27, 2012 at 1:00 pm.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: A month of work faces you. Well, buckle up and shift into higher gear.

Sunday/Monday emphasize your career, meetings with higher-ups, and their judgement of your efforts.

There’s opportunity here, but it entails much work.

Friends want to gather ‘round midweek, but wait until Tuesday evening onward to celebrate. Wednesday, a great plan, perhaps to travel with friends, or to them.

Retreat Thursday p.m. to Saturday: you’re tired, your charisma ebbs – all’s fine. All week (to Oct. 6) you grow more urgent or impulsive about sex and big finances – careful, especially Tuesday.

Taurus April 20-May 20: A very pleasant month lies ahead. At the very least, you’ll pick up hints of romance, your creative depths will awaken, beauty will drift into your sight, and pleasures will call. A “long night” of legal, intellectual or cultural barriers will end Oct. 5, so take heart. (I mention this because Sunday/Monday, though romantic and dreamy, might again encounter these barriers.)

Contain temper Tuesday: others are watching. Your ambitions meet an open door Wednesday: apply, propose, showcase your skills. This could be a significant turn! Popularity, fun, soaring optimism late week!

Gemini May 21-June 20: It’s “down home” time.

You might find a new home, or bury yourself in repairs, gardening and children’s programs. (Your kids are the foundation of the rest of your life: as they wilt or blossom, so will you.) Your workload intensifies to early October: take care with diet, driving, tools and fire. Mysteries and deep urges surface Sunday to Tuesday: avoid a financial or intimate commitment or change. (The “big change” remains strong, fruitful.)

Midweek’s gentle, wise and loving – grab a travel or investment opportunity. Build ambition’s foundations late week: new heights loom!

Cancer June 21-July 22: The main emphasis lies on communications, short trips, errands, paperwork, siblings, casual friends – and curiosity. Read, ask, learn while others are quite willing to divulge. You’ll feel a surface compatibility with almost everyone.

Money continues to be good. Six weeks of anger, domestic friction now yield to a double effect: you’ll have romantic courage, and creative ambition, until early October. At the same time, you’ll feel that your domestic situation is holding you back – by October, this barrier will dissolve. Lucky finances Wednesday.

Sweet understanding late week.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Turn your thoughts to money for the weeks ahead, to earnings, possessions, purchases. Sunday/Monday contain a couple of problems, and might bring a health concern, but these two days also offer money through work.

(Now to 2018 is not the best time to purchase large machinery: it could contain electrical or fuel glitches.

These same years beg you to travel internationally, attend higher learning, or plunge into a cultural ritual such as a wedding – but all these will entail giving up some work time or job security. I’d plunge into them anyway.) Opportunities, new people come midweek.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness are rolling to a yearly peak! Start important projects, call in markers, seek favours, submit proposals, ask for interviews, see and be seen.

If you don’t know what to do, analyse your situation objectively, then step forward into what seems to be the best direction/venture. Realize higher-ups (and parents) are “in love” with you now to next June.

They’re ready to give you a chance, to grant you favours – if you’re young, ask a parent for a down payment. Success times: Sunday a.m., Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday a.m. New love, late week?

Aug. 26 - Sept. 2, 2012

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Retreat, find sweet solitude. Some social life still bubbles through this week, so enjoy moments. Use the weeks ahead to rest and recuperate, to examine your life thus far and make plans for the future. Keep up with government and administrative chores (e.g., tax records, office systems) and attend to health concerns. Get that dental work started, or apply for medical insurance.

Higher-ups and VIPs still favour you for two more weeks, so remain ambitious. Sunday/Monday accent home, kids, security: just slog on through.

Romantic notions sweeten midweek. Tackle chores Thursday on.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Your popularity ascends all week and the next few. (It’s stronger after this week, which contains a lot of personal vibes and interests.) You’ve worked hard; now celebrate, seek entertainment, be with friends, swim in joyous optimism (OK, at least a pinch of optimism) and flirt – with prospects of all kinds. Casual friends, siblings and short trips arise Sunday/Monday. Accept and issue invitations. Be gentle on the home front Tuesday: you’ll bask in success here Wednesday.

Romance, creative urges and a winning streak bless you Thursday eve to Saturday. Love’s possible!

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Be ambitious – the weeks ahead emphasize your career, worldly status and dealings with parents, authorities and bosses.

(Notice how much easier all this is recently than three, four years ago?) As long as you’re eager and earnest, you’ll impress higher-ups and pass the tests they might give you. Right now, attitude is more important than skills. (Wish I’d known this 40 years ago!) Until October, it’s a good idea to put romance on hold.

(You’d start an “imprisoning” love.) Money, spending need caution Sunday/Monday. Midweek’s busy. Sink into home, rest late week.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: You start this week in fine form – your energy’s high, you attract admiring glances, and you’re in accomplishment mode. Still, the “serious skies” over your career ambitions remain – meaning you’ll progress through diligence,not through slacking. (And your home life, parent-kid relations, need calm, diplomacy, especially Sunday night.) Take care with money Tuesday – happiness makes you spend unwisely. But pounce on money opportunities – and social joys – Wednesday/Thursday. Late week brings short trips, casual friend and information.

Gentle love wafts through this week.

Aquarius Jan.20-Feb.18:Retreat,rest,contemplate and plan Sunday to Tuesday morning. Be spiritual, charitable. Avoid competitive situations. Midday Tuesday your energy and charisma start rising – but avoid arguments (especially with higher-ups, police, etc.) and accidents. By this night, and Wednesday, you head into luck and success, especially in love, sex, finances and career. Look deeply, pry off the covers, be a detective: golden discoveries await.

(This applies right into late September.) Chase money Thursday eve onward: but don’t buy big things: prices are near a temporary peak.

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Important relationships fill this week.You’ll face opportunities and challenges, co-operation and competition. You’ll gain if you cooperate, join, and lose if you demand or say “me first.” You’ve begun to change, and others might be a bit puzzled by you. (Virgos stand out here – very subtly, in a wee but growing amount, they’re pleased but perplexed. Well, they’ll come around.) Sunday (though it needs money caution) and Monday fulfill a wish, and bring social delights. Retreat, rest, contemplate midweek. Your energy and charisma soar Thursday eve onward. Love possible! timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 604-560-1269
