Karate Kid’s Miami movie shoot

Gawkers welcome, businesses open as Holiday Spin takes over downtown

JEAN KONDA-WITTE JKonda-Witte@abbotsfordtimes.com

Y

ou may have noticed giant palm trees popping up in downtown Abbotsford — that’s because the historic city core is being transformed into a ‘Christmas in Miami’ set for an upcoming made-for-TV movie Holiday Spin.

Shooting started yesterday and will take place for three more days, wrap-

ping up Sunday morning at 4 a.m.

Ralph ‘Karate Kid’ Macchio is the lead, playing a father who runs a dance studio (to be shot inside the National Training Centre on Montrose Avenue) which has fallen on hard times.

In these scenes he’ll prepare star students for the annual Christmas Eve ballroom dance competition.

“It’s kind of exciting to have [the movie] happening in the downtown,”

said Tina Stewart, executive director of the Abbotsford Downtown Business Association. “It can be pretty exciting to watch it happening. Folks are encouraged to come down and watch; they can stand right across the street from the shoot.”

She added that businesses will remain open, as will Montrose Avenue for traffic flow.

“Stuff like this happens downtown, it doesn’t close the downtown, and

businesses are still available.”

Holiday Spin is a sequel to another movie shot in downtown Abbotsford two years ago called On Strike for Christmas.

Garrett Clayton from the Disney Channel’s Teen Beach Musical is also in the film, scheduled to be broadcast next fall just before Christmas.

AIR TIGHT CADETS CRAM FOR MAJOR REVIEW

Royal Canadian 861 Silverfox Air Cadets muster for the squadron’s 34th annual ceremonial review on June 2 in the Ag-Rec Building at Abbotsford’s Exhibition Park. Top brass dignitaries included Maj. Dave Timms, Pacific Region, and reviewing officer, retired Col. Tarlochan S. Rai, VSM, from India.

n Abbotsford man busted with several thousand dollars worth of drugs, guns and ammunition was sentenced to 30 days time served in Chilliwack Supreme Court last Thursday.

David Marcel Chubb, 32, was charged with three counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking and two weapons charges after the Abbotsford police gang suppression unit and the emergency response team raided an apartment in the 2700 block of Fairlane Street on June 16, 2010.

A revolver, a semi-automatic handgun, a silencer, ammunition, two pounds of marijuana, and a large quantity of OxyContin tablets and cocaine were seized.

Chubb – well known to police with more than 40 interactions with Lower Mainland law enforcement since 2005 – was a gang associate, according to the APD. The quality of the OxyContin captured suggested Chubb wasn’t a “street-level” gangster but rather “high up on the food chain,” said Const. Ian MacDonald at the time.

Chubb pleaded guilty to the drug possession charges and was ordered to pay an additional fine of $300. However, the charges of unauthorized possession of a firearm and possession of a prohibited weapon without a licence have been stayed.

Laurie Mossey, mother of Tyler Miller — one of two local youths who died from the drug ecstasy — reacts after the Abbotsford Police Operation X drug prevention video screening at Abbotsford School of the Integrated Arts (ASIA) on Tuesday.

bbotsford Police screened a new video aimed at preventing ecstasy overdoses and deaths on Tuesday afternoon.

The film’s first scene shows young people dancing in a club to electronic music.

Suddenly, the screen goes black.

Then the trembling voice of Abbotsford teenager Drew Fournier is heard during a real life 911 call reporting that her friend, Cheryl McCormack, has collapsed after taking ecstasy.

The operator asks if the teen is breathing.

“Barely,” Fournier responds.

“I’m really scared right now,” she tells the woman.

Cheryl, 17, took ecstasy at a sleepover with three of her best friends on Dec. 19, 2011, then fell into a coma and never woke up.

bbotsford Police are on the hunt for a man who assaulted and threatened a Starbucks barista because the outlet didn’t have cream for his coffee.

Const. Ian MacDonald said a man ordered a coffee at the Starbucks on Sumas Way around 6 p.m. Wednesday, May 30. When the female employee told him there was no cream, he began yelling and swearing.

“To him, this is absolutely unacceptable,” said MacDonald. “He gets in her face and yells at her, and punctuates it with throwing water in her face.”

The suspect, a Caucasian man in his 40s, stomped out of the store and drove away in his blue Ford pickup truck.

The truck’s licence plate was obtained and the registered owner’s address is located on Vancouver Island, said MacDonald.

The APD will work with the appropriate police agency to pursue charges of assault and uttering threats, he said.

Investigators plan to confirm the identity of the suspect by reviewing surveillance video from the Starbucks and surrounding businesses.

The barista involved was frightened and badly shaken by the incident, said MacDonald.

The suspect’s reaction was so excessive that it posed further concern for police.

“If a cup of coffee sets him off to this degree, can you image what would happen if something of real consequence occurs?” MacDonald asked.

“He got in a truck and probably got onto the highway.

What if someone changes lanes in front of him or something?”

M

embers of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association of Canada will be knocking on Abbotsford doors in an effort to promote peace and dispel myths about Islam this Sunday.

Rizwan Rabban, AMYA executive director, said a dozen Muslim youth from Delta and Vancouver are volunteering to canvas neighborhoods, chat with residents and hand out literature to promote harmony between people and different faiths, and to debunk the notion that Islam is synonymous with terrorism. The day before their trip, the group will fast from sunrise to sunset and then wake at 3:45 a.m. Sunday to conduct a prayer for Abbotsford, said Rabban.

The Abbotsford initiative is part of a larger AMYA campaign launched May 11 to visit 40 communities across Canada within 40 days.

The purpose of the campaign is not intended to convert people to Islam but promote understanding, said Rabban.

Growing larger, and older of 14 per cent from the 2006 head count.

In comparison, the country’s overall population, now at 33,476,690, increased by 5.9 per cent.

Not surprisingly, the first wave of boomers aged 60 to 64 had the biggest rate of increase at 29 per cent, which means the population aging will accelerate in Canada in the coming years, posing quite a challenge for our healthcare sys-

tem. In 2011, seniors 65 and older accounted for 14.8 per cent of our population, a record-high ratio.

StatsCan says this proportion has increased steadily since the late 1960s due to lower replacement fertility levels, and longer life expectancy.

Despite this, the proportion of seniors in Canada remained among the lowest of the G8 countries, says StatsCanada.

The total population of the Abbotsford-Mission census metropolitan area was 170,185, up 5.9 per cent from the last census.

Locally, the numbers reflect the national profile.

The Abbotsford–Mission CMA recorded 24,040 people 65 and older, up 14.1 per cent from the 2006 census.

Of those 13,215 were women, and 10,830 were men.

The senior group included 7,070 people 80 or older, an increase of 15.4 per cent, (4,325 were women, 2,745 were men).

The number of working age residents between 15 to 64 years rose 5.7 per cent to 113,810, while the number of children under the age of 14 was 32,335, up a very slight one per cent.

However, the census numbers show it won’t be all rocking chairs and lawn bowling in Canada’s future – the number of children aged four see CENSUS, page A5

CENSUS, from page A4 and under increased for the first time in 50 years.

StatsCan says the number of children under the age of four increased nationally by a significant 11 per cent between 2006 and 2011. Looking across the country, the highest proportion of seniors were recorded in Quebec, the Atlantic provinces and in B.C. – no surprise, Qualicum Beach on Vancouver Island has a whopping 47 per cent above retirement age.

The highest proportion of working age people is in Alberta, with 79 per cent of the population.

Nationally, hitting a century is becoming more common – after boomers, those 100 and over are in the second-fastest growing age group, with a growth rate of 25.7 per cent.

At the time of the census, 5,825 Canadians are over 100 years old. StatsCanada says the number of centenarians will continue to grow – it projects 17,000 centenarians by 2031, and close to 80,000 in another 50 years, by 2061.

The ratio is about 500 women centenarians for every 100 male centenarians.

Diabetes double-whammy

Sunday’s walk for a cure is another step in the right direction

“I had a heartbreak-

ing talk with him about dying. He said ‘I don’t want to die, dad.’”

CHRISTINA TOTH CToth@abbotsfordtimes.com

– Rolly Labelle father

W

hen Rolly and Christine Labelle got the use of a motorhome last September, they jumped at the chance to take a family adventure and headed for the Kettle Valley before sending the kids back to school in Abbotsford.

An outdoor enthusiast, Rolly took his son Zach, 9, for a hike. It was hot, but they had gone on hikes before, so Rolly was surprised his son was lagging behind.

“He was hot, his face red and he was thirsty,” he said, but put it down to the heat. But the youngster had been urinating frequently, up to four times a night, and his mom thought he looked like he had lost weight.

When they got home, she took Zach to their doctor thinking he may have a bladder infection.

At 9 p.m. on Sept. 22, their doctor called to say Zach had been diagnosed with Type I diabetes, and to take him to the hospital that night.

The parents were stunned. Their son was a bright, happy, energetic kid — the picture of health.

“He had no signs of being sick. It was unbelievable,” said Christine, who secretly thought at first the doctors were wrong.

They had done everything to keep their brood healthy – a good diet, plenty of sleep and exercise, junk food on the rare occasion – they even chose paint and window coverings for their home that wouldn’t off-gas toxic chemicals. As far as they knew, there is no history of diabetes in their families.

Zach stayed in the children’s unit at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital for five days – with Christine by his side – while a medical team stabilized his glucose levels and worked out his treatment, which

The Labelle family – dad Rolly, mom Christine, with toddler Natasha, 3, Zach, 9 and Nicole, 11, are learning to cope after the two youngest children were diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes last fall. included daily insulin shots. His parents underwent a crash course in managing his juvenile diabetes.

They learned to handle a glucometer and insulin injection pens, and to carefully balance his nutrition, insulin and exercise to keep Zach’s blood sugar from going too low or too high.

And Zach had to learn to tolerate pinpricks into his fingertips six times a day, and four daily insulin injections into his arms, legs or belly.

“This is with a kid who had to be held down to get his blood test,” said dad. Within days of Zach returning home, the parents noticed that Natasha, too, was thirsty and urinat-

ing frequently. Since they already had a glucometer, Christine tested the baby. Her glucose level was at 22 millimoles per litre – the normal range is 4 to 6 mmol. The diagnosis was confirmed, and Christine spent another five days with Natasha in the now-familiar pedriatric ward at ARH. With two kids with Type I diabetes, life has changed for the entire family, including Nicole, 11, who is fine.

The kitchen island has become ‘diabetes central’ – it holds Zach and Natasha’s glucometers, insulin pens, a food scale and a three-inch thick red binder in which their daily foods are meticulously recorded, so

ONE DAY SALE

each parent knows what the other has fed the kids.

The new rules and the worry takes an emotional toll on every member of the family. Christine took stress leave for four months. They still ask themselves, why their kids?

Then there are the questions that would devastate any parent.

At Christmas, Zach wanted to ask Santa for a cure.

“I had a heartbreaking talk with him about dying. He said ‘I don’t want to die, dad,’” Rolly recalls.

“He’s afraid he won’t have kids.

He’s such a happy fellow most of the time, but he has reflective moments like that or days he doesn’t feel well.

It’s too early for him to be thinking about things like this.”

Eight months after the dual diagnosis, life is far from normal, they say, but it’s getting better. Zach can do his own glucometer test, and weighs out his snacks on the scale, as his dad watches. He’s getting better at accepting his injections, but Natasha has been known to hide her insulin pen in her toy box.

The Labelles are starting to go to support groups, where they will get practical ideas from other parents. They are also full of praise for the juvenile diabetic clinic at the Abbotsford hospital, where the kids must go for regular visits.

■ You can help the Labelles and other families dealing with diabetes this Sunday, June 10, by taking part in the Telus Walk to Cure Diabetes. It starts at Rotary Stadium in Exhibition Park, 32470 Haida Dr., Abbotsford – enter off Trethewey Street. Register from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The walk begins at 2 p.m. along Discovery Trail.

Other business such as Quilts Essential are decked out in holiday splendor for some outdoor scenes.

“Businesses are fine with it,” said Stewart. “They are very excited to have their business in the shoot; it’s something to be proud of and they can show it off.”

Local folks have also been recruited as extras for the movie.

Filming takes place:

“We’re hoping people will come down, grab a cup of coffee and see what’s going on,” she added.

T

he second annual Cycling4Diversity ride from Mission to Victoria, May 22-25, was so successful organizers Ken Herar and Sarina Di Martino Derksen are planning on taking their message around the province come fall.

“It was an honour to meet so many people who warmly welcomed us and were supportive of this message,” said Derksen, who along with Herar, plans to visit schools in B.C. where they did not stop. Eventually, they would like to expand C4D across Canada.

“To go from city to city and hear the emotional stories people have to share, it was a big eye-opener,” she said. “When you’re meeting people face to face and celebrating diversity, it was life-changing for me on many levels.”

The team of 12 left Mission on May 22 for the 200-kilometre bike ride, and stopped at 40 locations on the four-day ride, giving halfhour presentations to schools, community groups and others.

They gave blue wristbands to all the school kids, asking them to share the special message of diversity.

“We asked them to pay attention to how they interact with others,” said Herar, who credited Derksen with the idea.

Conservative details devilish H

ere’s something you won’t hear from me very often – maybe even never again: I agree with the Harper Conservatives.

Well . . . sort of.

The devil will be in the details, of course.

“Unemployment Insurance” was started in Canada as part of the federal social network built by right-wing governments – mostly right-of-centre Liberals – to stave off a political spiral into the dark dankness of socialism as represented first by the CCF and later by the NDP (the red hordes that actually first came up with ideas like helping laid-off workers, universal health care . . . you know, all that heathen socialist stuff that good Canadians hate so much that no government, no matter how right-wing, dares to get rid of it).

U.I., as it was known until the mid-1990s when the name was changed to the more descriptive E.I. (Employment Insurance), was initially a way to help out people who had lost their jobs, to tide them over until they found new jobs.

Over the years, it changed. And I don’t just mean the 1990s name change.

U.I./E.I slowly morphed into two very separate functions.

It continued in its original role, helping hard-up workers through a tough time.

Indeed, in that role, the U.I./E.I service improved over the years, not only doling out cheques for those who were between jobs, but including and

BOB GROENEVELD

Odd thoughts developing programs – some of which blew in and blew out again on the changing political winds – that were aimed (with varying degrees of success) at helping find jobs, or even offering retraining for those whose occupations or careers were evaporated by changing times and technologies.

But U.I./E.I. also took on an entirely different role – one that never really fit either the “between jobs” or the “insurance” aspects initially built into the system.

Changes in benefit criteria turned U.I./E.I. into a mainstay supplemental income for seasonal workers – fishing and lumber industries come immediately to mind – who aren’t really “between jobs” when the fish aren’t running or the woods are closed in mid-winter and late summer.

In fact they are only waiting for the next fishing season to open, for the snow and ice to come off the trees, for the fire hazard to subside.

And since the seasonal layoffs are entirely predictable, it’s not really “insurance” they’re looking for, but a basic income supplement – or better pay while they’re working, kind of like

teachers get 12 months worth of pay over their 10-month period of work.

In any case, seasonal pay-outs of income supplements should be structured separately from bona fide E.I., with a separate source fund – which could be paid into specially by employers who routinely rely on seasonal employees.

So while I agree with most of the E.I. changes proposed by the Harper Conservatives, in some respects, I don’t think they’re going far enough.

That said, I’m waiting with bated breath to see some of their definitions of “appropriately acceptable” employment changes that the unemployed must accept in order to maintain benefits.

It’s those devilish details. And stupid comments like, “Any job is better than no job,” don’t inspire confidence.

On the other hand, maybe sending a 63-year-old office worker out to pick strawberries is not a bad idea, from a Conservative, money-saving perspective – killing a few of them off might help assuage our pension problems.

But Harper needs to be careful that his plan doesn’t backfire: the physical exercise could make some of those long-in-the-tooth workers healthier, allowing them to live – and collect pensions – longer.

■ Bob Groeneveld is the editor of our sister paper, the Langley Advance.

he day’s been set and now the countdown begins. Just eight months, give or take, until British Columbians get to join our counterparts in five other provinces in celebrating a statutory holiday in February.

As of 2013, B.C.’s new Family Day will be marked on the second Monday of February – the inaugural one will land on Feb. 11, just smack dab between New Year’s and Easter. Heaven knows, we here in the moist Fraser Valley have heard plenty of grumbling ‘round about Valentine’s Day that it seems an awful long time to go without a threeday weekend.

So, we suppose a certain degree of gratitude is due to the premier for following through on this election promise.

Who doesn’t enjoy an extra day off with pay? (Assuming, of course, that you work somewhere so that you’ll get the day off. Or that you have a job at all in this shaky job market of late. Or that you don’t own a business, small or otherwise, that will have to foot the bill for your employees’ new stat holiday.)

But, in the spirit of gratitude, let’s not forget the Liberals even let us average Joes decide when it would be held by hosting an online vote.

The choice was either the second or the third Monday of the month: the third so that it would line up with other provincial family days and President’s Day in the U.S., and the second because, presumably, holiday spots would be less crowded than on the holiday-packed third Monday.

Oh, the irony.

Considering a good many families in this province are struggling to make ends meet, let alone make it out to a “less crowded” holiday hot spot for a day with the family, it seems a strange way to frame the question.

But we don’t want to seem ungrateful. An extra holiday is certainly nice.

And we’re sure we’ll hear all about how nice it was, seeing as the very first one falls just a few weeks before provincial election campaign season.

A taxing donation question

Editor, the Times:

I have been a monthly donor to the Union Gospel Mission for over 25 years.

I used to make excuses to the cashiers why I did not donate to their merchant tills. I find it stressful and offensive as now I find myself deluged by merchants (liquor store, Walmart, Costco, Tim Hortons, etc.) multiple times on shopping days, ergo I just say no.

During my working career the Christmas raffles’ big ticket item was the tax receipt for the United Way group donation. Do these big monopolies get a tax deduction on the little man’s dollar?

Why fight so hard against a fairy tale?

Editor, the Times:

Robert T. Rock’s letters to the editor are eerily similar to those of one Bob Jones, who used to write to the local newspapers years ago.

Could they be one and the same person?

Be that as it may, Robert never fails to express his vehement hatred of fundamentalism, Christianity or the Bible in his letters. It’s interesting how his hatred is focussed on just one religion, however.

If it’s totally false and just a “fairy tale” as he has claimed, then why the constant barrage against it?

Actually, Mr. Rock and others of similar persuasion may be fulfilling prophecy as found in the Bible, without their even realizing it.

2 Peter 3:3 says, “First of all you must understand this, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their

Rocking the boat for all he’s worth Editor, the Times:

It’s like a game of Bopping the Mole when I write to the paper as there is a short list of usual suspects who will respond, say something ridiculous and then go back into their holes.

Obviously one of those usual suspects showed up again and completely missed my points for his purposes, especially about the ship of fools reference

to an old black and white movie, which is just as relevant today as it was back then, when few people saw the growing menace of the German Nazi movement.

Who would I be on that ship? The one person aboard that ship who saw clearly what was happening and where it was leading to, while everyone else on board pretended that it couldn’t be happening.

Hopefully, most readers will understand that I’m using myself as a metaphor for the entire environmental movement by backing science over the religious and/or political dogmas of the far right.

Now it’s claimed by

some with a personal axe to grind apparently that I’m this, that, or the other thing.

Using words like self-pity and snobbery, and turning the findings of that report on low effort thinking back on me is childish. I expect people to look up things for themselves and to do the research as I do.

So darn rights I’ll rock the boat, and capsize it if I must, in order to push home the essential point to my writing and that is, for people to read, think, and lose the gullibility that comes with being sheep.

Abbotsford’s Dr. John Pawlovich was honoured by fellow rural doctors with an award for long and meritorious medical service to the community.

The honour was bestowed recently at the Society of Rural Physicians of Canada annual event, this year held in Whistler, B.C. The Rural Long Service award is granted to recognize doctors who have done long, solid work in their home communities, said Dr. Braam de Klerk, the president of the doctors’ group.

The eligible physician must have been a recipient already of the Rural Service Award, worked in rural and remote Canada for at least 20 years and be a SRPC member for five years.

THE TIMES THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 2012 ❘

A tale of two Gregs: extreme makeovers happen every day

3DAY FLOORING

O

ur family loves the TV show Extreme Makeover - Home Edition, especially the climax of the show, where everyone yells “move that bus,” revealing with great anticipation a completely renovated house for those families overlooked in the economies of life.

While not in such a grandiose manner, each of us can create a Move-that-Bus experience for lives we touch each week – let me tell you the true “Tale of Two Gregs.”

Right here in Abbotsford are two Gregs, not related, each running their own automotive repair shops within a few kilometers from each other.

The Gregs are just regular guys with mortgages and bills like the rest of us, but they are making a difference in the world.

Both have a heart for single moms and other families who just plain run out of paycheque before they run out of month.

I have seen teary-eyed moms frustrated by their broken down cars with booster seats full of kids arriving at either of the Gregs’ shops.

Sometimes it is a simple repair and other times the Gregs will quietly downplay their time or parts involved to get them back on the road.

It is amazing to see the moms’ faces light up with

DAVE SCHAPANSKY

Faith that matters Move-that-Bus grins at the Gregs’ heaven-sent payment plans of free or pay when or if you can or maybe ‘just buy me a coffee one day.’

Jules Reynard once said, “On earth there is no heaven, but there are pieces of it.”

The Gregs are great examples to all of us, bringing God’s love and maybe just a little piece of heaven to those in need.

Now I am not much for visions of heaven being boring angels playing harps on fluffy clouds. However, I do like to imagine when I will see the two Gregs standing before their Lord and Saviour at the gates of heaven.

And then Jesus, with a big grin on his face, will say in a loud voice to them “Move that Bus!” What a day that will be!

No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him – 1 Corinthians 2:9.

– STAFF REPORTER

Lyrical lines give readers a break from reality CHRISTINA TOTH CToth@abbotsfordtimes.com

F

raser Valley writer Emily Isaacson sat down some time ago and wrote a daily blog of poetry for more than six months.

The fruits of her artistic discipline can be found in her book, Poem of the Day. She will launch her third book, The Sunken Garden, as a guest of the Poets Potpourri Society of Abbotsford and its Blue Moon Reading Series on June 11 at 6:30 p.m. at the Clearbrook Library.

The Sunken Garden is inspired by one of

her favourite childhood haunts, the colourful rejuvenated quarry at Butchart Gardens in Victoria.

“There is a moment at dawn and twilight each day, when fragrance permeates the silence and a waft of perfume comes from the oiled perfection of the Sunken Garden. At its far end is a huge fountain that would light up in multi-colored rays at evening’s end,” she recalls at her blog site.

Isaacson, 36, figures she’s written more than 1,200 poems. Her postmodern poetry is colourful, lyrical and even magical in its break from realism. Topics are varied, but a

common theme is her comparison of nature to human nature, and a discourse back and forth between the naturalist and the philosopher. Her use of classic forms such as rhyme schemes, syllabic poems and English sonnets prevail over free verse.

Isaacson has served on the board of the Mission Arts Council for three years, and is currently on the board of The Waterhouse Foundation. She graduated from Bastyr University in 1999. The founder and director of the Emily Isaacson Institute, she has set up a nutrition program for the First Nations People and opened the Health and Wellness Clinic

for quality nutrition care in Abbotsford. She has exhibited as a solo artist at the MAC gallery in Mission.

Her first published book of select verse in three volumes was titled The Fleur de Lis and has enjoyed much acclaim.

Isaacson will be signing copies of The Fleur de Lis on June 9 from 1–3 p.m. at Sumas Mountain Coffee Co., 32750 George Ferguson Way, Abbotsford.

The Clearbrook Library is at 32320 George Ferguson Way, Abbotsford. See more at poetspotpourri.com. You can get a taste of Isaacson’s work at emilyisaacson.org.

After a courageous battle with cancer, Chrissy slipped away in the early hours of June 2nd at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital with her husband and sister by her side. She was also surrounded in spirit by the love of her family and all that knew her.

Chrissy embraced her friends like family and was someone you would turn to and could count on no matter what, whether you were family, friend or colleague, she was there for you. Even in her time of need, it was Chrissy holding our hand, leading, guiding and sheltering us through her journey.

Predeceased by her parents Albert (Judge), and Georgette (Georgie) Olsen, and her sister Ruth Anne Olsen.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: The accent lies on travel, casual acquaintances, communications, paperwork and details. These things will balloon this week into the middle of next year. Think about upgrading your stationery, computer, car. Sunday/ Monday are tiring – avoid confrontations, especially around your home or in restaurants. (Save crucial family conversations for Friday.) Your energy surges back Tuesday/Wednesday (but avoid confrontations these two days also). Thursday to Saturday are great for shopping, earning money and sensual liaisons. (But results are elusive Saturday.) All week, be curious.

Taurus April 20-May 20: Chase money, spend, seek more clients or a pay raise – this month starts a year of “swelled money.” (Remember, don’t spend big before September – unless you’re making a longterm investment for capital gain, not for income.)

Sunday/Monday are filled with hope – you’ll be happy even though not much goes right. Not a lot goes right Tuesday/Wednesday, either – but you should be resting, in a quiet, contemplative mood anyway, so just relax and avoid making requests or confronting others. Your energy and charisma soar Thursday to Saturday, and luck accompanies you – start something!

Gemini May 21-June 20: Your charisma, energy, clout and effectiveness ride a summer peak. Your luck is climbing fast – for a year. Approach others.

Maintain hope to September, then maintain top speed – you’ll race toward success. Be ambitious Sunday/Monday – but diplomatically, as many are raw-skinned now, waiting to throw a tantrum or a monkey wrench. Your optimism, popularity and love of life rise Tuesday/Wednesday – befriend others, without necessarily seeking practical ends. Thursday to Saturday bring a quiet respite: be alone, nap, plan, contact advisors, government, or the spiritual world.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Sunday/Monday bring wisdom and a broad understanding – use these when bosses, parents, partners, lovers and/or events act contrarily. Careful driving, travelling. Let your ambitions rule Tuesday/Wednesday (if you don’t, higher-ups will tend to lean negatively on you). Though June is a low-energy, low charisma month for you, Thursday to Saturday might be an exception: yes, you’re weary, but luck walks with you in social, group, future-oriented, and/or humanitarian involvements. Investments, security and retirement prospects can gain from approaching head offices or civil servants.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: A light love affair could start, if it hasn’t already. (Almost any flirtation or “light romance” could turn into a full-bodied love affair between now and mid-2013.) Your hopes are high, your popularity grows; entertainment and good friends arrive. Join a group, issue and accept invitations. Sunday/Monday are mysterious, sexual, financial, and set up future changes in your life. Step cautiously, avoid belligerent people – careful driving.

All this Tuesday, too, but now your mood (Tuesday/ Wednesday) is serene, loving and compassionate. Be ambitious Thursday/Friday – luck’s good!

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Sunday/Monday emphasize relationships – step carefully, “explosions” and refusals are rife. The intimate side of links unfolds Tuesday (glitches) and Wednesday (neutral outlook).

Not the best influence to make investments. Your gentle, loving, understanding side emerges Thursday to Saturday – and meets only benefits. This is a great few days to travel, or undertake legal, educational, intellectual, publishing or cultural actions. All week, the general theme lies on ambition, prestige, career, dealings with higher-ups. This zone is growing increasingly lucky – for 12 months.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: The accent remains on legal, educational, far travel, cultural, publishing and similar themes – and on love. Trust yourself – you see things clearly, if perhaps a little soberly.

You can see or sense the “final result” of almost anything now – of a property move/purchase, of a relationship, old or new, etc. Let this determine whether you plunge in or stay out. Think far, far result. Work/health Sunday/Monday. Relationships are attractive but mixed (luck-wise) Tuesday/ Wednesday. Be diplomatic. Sexual, intimate, research and financial success come Thursday to early Saturday.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Mysteries, detective work, big finances, lifestyle changes, sexual urges, health diagnoses, commitments and consequences are the general flavour of this week. These meet glitches (or immovable barriers) Sunday to Tuesday (perhaps connected to work or health demands).

Temptations in this entire spectrum (sexual, financial, research, etc.) have existed since April 2011, and last to Aug. 31. Yet a huge luck also enters these areas Monday, to last a year. If you’re astute, ethical, riches await! Exciting meetings, opportunities, face you Thursday to Saturday – be open, friendly!

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: The accent remains on relationships of all kinds, from a chance meeting on the street to a life-long partnership. Great good luck enters this area Monday, to last a year. But until Aug. 30, be mildly independent, don’t “slide” into a marriage (or relocate, or sign a contract) just because it’s easy or others prod you. If in doubt, stay out: there will be plenty of time and luck from September into mid-2013. If single, you’ll likely meet mate material in that period. Monday/Tuesday illustrate the problems with/barriers to premature embrace. Work succeeds Thursday/Friday.

June 10 - 16, 2012 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The accent remains on work and health. Old chores return to be redone.

Barriers to success exist before Thursday, so proceed with ordinary caution. (Be careful if working at home, with machinery, Monday/Tuesday.) Usually, extra work demands would cease by June 19 or 20, but this year shows growing work influences/projects right into mid2013. To succeed, take what comes through August, then actively expand your work sphere September onward. Romantic notions float to you Thursday to Saturday – send someone flowers, or head to singles’ venues – a nice luck accompanies you.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The romantic theme continues. If you’re single, the path is scattered with little glitches (or temptations to cut corners or grab someone who’s unattainable) before September. Yet, starting Monday, your good luck swells in this arena – right into mid-2013. So, good luck with caution through August, then good luck unbounded! (An example of the “wrong path” shows before Wednesday.) Monday/ Tuesday feature earnings, purchases and casual sex – careful, lemons abound in the last two. Avoid new investments. Home, real estate, retirement plans are great Thursday-Saturday dawn.

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: The focus remains on home, children, security, food, retirement – all the basics. A former (neglected or abandoned) plan about these might return. Your luck in these areas will soar now (Monday) through mid-2013, but glitches and pitfalls await the impatient and greedy before September. (Some of these glitches might confront you Monday/Tuesday.) Your energy and charisma rise Sunday/Monday – but don’t start big new projects.

Money, buying/selling arise midweek – it’s slow to frustrating, so pace yourself, wait if necessary.

Thursday onward brings happy meetings, lucky trips. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 604-727-3673
