Corrigan still undecided on RCMP contract Alfie Lau

staff reporter

With only 10 days until the province’s new 20-year policing deal with the RCMP becomes effective, Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan is still looking for answers so he can determine what the city’s next move will be.

Corrigan told the Burnaby NOW this week that discussion of the proposed contract won’t hit the council table until after today (April 20), a day when he, along

with other mayors, will meet to discuss what the new contract means.

“I won’t make any decisions until then,” said Corrigan.

“I want to keep an open mind to see what other mayors have to say. … What I will say is the main theme is we want to emphasize all the uncertainty, the constant uncertainty about what our future costs will be. The uncertainty about future costs makes it difficult for mayors to sign on unless we get a clear picture of what we’re signing up for.”

Surrey, with the country’s largest RCMP detachment, signed off on the deal at the beginning of April.

Burnaby hasn’t yet signed, and some cities – such as Terrace – are threatening not to sign the deal after last week’s revelation that the contract includes salary increases for RCMP members that the municipalities weren’t made aware of.

The proposed contract with the RCMP has municipalities paying annual raises of 1.75 per cent, 1.5 per cent and two per cent, starting Jan. 1 of this year.

Corrigan acknowledges that the city knew about this year’s pay increase, but there was no mention of increases in subsequent years.

In addition, the RCMP is building a new office, to be based in Surrey, that is estimated to cost $1.2 billion.

“I call it the RCMP Taj Mahal,” said Corrigan. “We’ve been asking for years about what our share of paying for a new building is, and we were told there would RCMP Page 9

Chevron wants a tax break

GROW-OPS

RCMP apply to seize city residences Alfie Lau

staff reporter

Jennifer Moreau

The Burnaby RCMP are attempting to seize two North Burnaby homes they believe are involved in marijuana grow operations.

According to a Burnaby RCMP press release, the detachment’s drug section is using civil forfeiture as another tool in its goal of stopping the drug trade in Burnaby.

“Separate “If you deal drugs from crimior grow marijua- nal law, civil forfeiture tarna in Burnaby, gets property we will be com- directly – not ing after the cash the offender – and is not and tools you use d e p e n d e n t to commit your on a criminal conviction crimes.” or charges being laid,” SGT. SCOTT RINTOUL Burnaby Burnaby RCMP drug section supervisor Sgt. Scott Rintoul said in the press release. “Civil forfeiture will only be considered when the criminal process is exhausted.”

The police are also in the process of seizing $20,000 in cash.

The forfeited property and cash is meant to benefit victims of crime and the community at large, via payments to support eligible victims and funding of community crime prevention activities.

The assets that the Burnaby RCMP are applying to be forfeited were seized during the course of marijuana grow op investigations and projects targeting “dial-a-dope” dealers.

“If you deal drugs or grow marijuana in Burnaby, we will be coming after the cash and tools you use to commit your crimes,” said Rintoul.

Burnaby’s Chevron refinery wants a break on the carbon tax.

“Our issue is that as the only remaining refinery in the Lower Mainland, Chevron pays carbon tax on the fuels consumed in the refining process,” said company spokesperson Ray Lord. “The majority – about two-thirds – of B.C.’s fuels needs are imported from refining facilities outside of B.C. and are not subject to the B.C. carbon tax.”

Chevron is working with the provincial government to ensure fair and equitable carbon tax treatment of refined fuels, regardless of whether they are manufactured in B.C. or imported into the province, Lord said.

Chevron paid roughly $9 million in carbon taxes last year for the fuel used in the refining process, and Lord estimated that the refinery has paid roughly $22 million since the tax was implemented in 2008.

“The carbon tax has risen annually since 2008 by $5 per tonne of CO2, and the amount of tax we’ve had to pay annually has risen accordingly,” he said.

“We expect that in 2012, carbon tax paid may be in excess of $10 million.”

Lord said the refinery’s annual CO2 output is approximately 400,000 tonnes.

Chevron wants fair and equitable carbon tax treatment of refined fuels, regardless of whether they are manufactured in B.C. or imported into the province, Lord said.

Chevron, the sole remaining refinery in the Lower Mainland, brings in crude from the Alberta oil sands. Alberta also has a carbon tax, but it’s only $15 per tonne for companies that exceed a certain limit, while B.C.’s rate is $25, rising to $30 in July, and applies to all fossil fuel combustion in the province.

Other former refineries on the Burrard Inlet are now distribution terminals, which use already refined petroleum products brought in from outside of B.C. Matt Horne, director of the climate change program with Pembina Institute, found Chevron’s position “frustrating from a capital perspective.”

“It loses sight of what we’re trying to accomplish, which is reduction of Chevron Page 9

INVESTIGATION

Police still searching for mother of dead newborn Baby’s body was found in the Fraser River in South Burnaby last October Alfie Lau

staff reporter

It’s been more than six months since the body of a newborn baby boy was found floating amongst the log booms in the Fraser River, just off a railway bridge in South Burnaby.

And according to integrated homicide investigation team spokesperson Sgt. Jennifer Pound, the police still don’t have much to go on.

Pound told the Burnaby NOW on April 17 that IHIT investigators still have not found the mother of the baby boy and they’re still doing extensive testing on the baby.

Pound said they haven’t identified the

baby yet, but added, “That’s not unusual because of the amount of extra testing we are doing.”

The body of the newborn baby boy was discovered floating in the Fraser River late on the evening of Oct. 11 last year by a tugboat crew.

“Our tug was delivering a small tow just upriver of the railroad bridge,” Harken Towing manager John Bowles told The Province. “When they arrived there, they found the body floating in one of the booms that was already being stored there.”

When the tugboat crew first noticed the newborn’s body, they believed it to be a doll.

The railway bridge is just off Fraser Park Drive and a correctional facility in South Burnaby.

Pound asked possible witnesses to call the IHIT tip line at 1-877-551-4448 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

OUR VIEW

When the Conservative government announced in July 2010 that it would be buying 65 of Lockheed Martin’s fanciest warplanes, critics screamed that making such a huge purchase without inviting any competing bids was lunacy.

Those critics, it turns out, were right.

Government procurement policies exist to guard against precisely this type of needless waste.

The Conservatives knew that, yet

they chose to skirt due process for the sake of expedience.

Had they followed their own rules, the gross underestimates and hidden risks of the F-35 contract would have come to light long before the auditor general started sniffing around the program.

Defence department bureaucrats may well have deceived MPs to get a new toy, but it was our government’s wilful myopia that allowed them to.

Is better always the best choice?

IN MY OPINION

T

Matthew Claxton

here’s an urban legend, spread by the internet and an old The West Wing episode, with a moral about simplicity versus complexity.

Supposedly, in the 1960s NASA realized that they didn’t have a pen that could write in zero gravity. So millions were spent to design a space pen for the Apollo astronauts.

The Soviets used pencils.

Sadly, the real story is almost exactly the reverse. Early Mercury astronauts did use pencils in orbit, as did the Russian cosmonauts. But bits of graphite broke off and floated around the confines of a cabin, and the graphite and pencils could burn –- a serious concern after the deaths of three men in the Apollo 1 fire.

So an independently developed pen was purchased, for $2.39 per pen. Pricey, by 1960s standards, but not that bad.

And the Soviets? They signed a contract with the same American company a year later and got the same bulk discount that NASA did.

The real story is far more fascinating, because it forces us to

think about the complexities of a seemingly simple issue. I would not have imagined that a pencil could be a hazard on a space capsule, but if a speck of graphite shorted out a critical system, it could be lethal.

So score one for complexity and technological superiority.

Even the stories where cheap and simple really did beat high tech and expensive turn out to be complicated.

To return to the Russians (masters of the brutally simple mechanism), they created a relatively brutish machine that confounded their enemies: the T-34 tank.

The T-34 was created just before Nazi Germany foolishly decided to invade Russia. Hitler, who loved high-powered tanks, supported projects like the Tiger and Panther, powerful tanks that could blow apart just about anything else on the battlefield.

If they weren’t broken down, that is.

With their water-cooled engines and thousands of moving parts, the Tigers had a tendency to spend a lot of time under repair. The T-34s, on the other hand, were rugged and simple, designed so that a halfliterate collective farm worker could figure out how to drive and repair one. Even more importantly, they were cheap to build. The Soviets followed the same credo as modern spam

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Quit wasting taxpayer dollars

Dear Editor:

Re: Mayor says trip to Mesa worth the money, Burnaby NOW, April 13.

It’s good to know when opposition political parties drop the ball, the news media is there to report the facts.

I am disturbed with Mayor Derek Corrigan’s continued poor judgment in spending our tax dollars. What a waste of Burnaby taxpayers’ monies. Mayor Corrigan should keep his presence in Burnaby, working for the citizens.

In a time of constraints, Mayor Corrigan should exercise more care with our tax dollars. Our taxes will be increasing another three to four per cent this year.

We are in the 21st century. Our city manager surely has the skill sets and access to technology such as video-conferencing or Skype to set up meetings with Mesa to brainstorm ideas instead of going on these junkets.

So how can Mayor Corrigan justify this latest junket on the taxpayer dollar? And how can he justify the tens of thousands of tax dollars he has now cumulatively spent (over multiple terms) visiting “sister cities” in Japan, Arizona and who knows where else … as well as in hosting those sister city delegations from Japan, Arizona and who knows where else?

City taxpayers should not be funding a “vacation exchange” for their elected officials. We deserve more respect and more value for our money. I

ask that Mayor Corrigan reimburse (from his own pocket) any expenses billed to city taxpayers for this latest trip and then cancel all future planned junkets until such time as he can present taxpayers with a zero increase in the property tax levy.

Finally, Mayor Corrigan also exercised poor judgement in travel planning. The least he could have done was to use YVR, instead of the Bellingham airport.

As a retired 22-year UPCE member, I fail to see how this shows any respect for the unionized employees at YVR. I hope that they, and their counterparts in other B.C. unions, remember this clear sign of disrespect when Mayor Corrigan next appears (cap in hand) seeking contributions to his next election campaign.

What a waste of Burnaby taxpayers’ monies in times when this council continues to raises our taxes.

It’s a bad year for youth

Dear Editor:

So far, 2012 has been a very bad year for young Canadians from coast to coast to coast: an alarming unemployment rate of 13.9 per cent, the shutting of the Service Canada Youth Job Centres across the country, and a youth-criminalizing crime bill.

Now the Conservatives have cancelled Canada’s outstanding national youth volunteer program, Katimavik.

Since 1977, Katimavik has enabled over 30,000 young Canadians to volunteer for local charitable and non-profit organizations like the Burnaby Arts Council and Forest Ethics. In addition to learning a second language and exploring Canada, Katimavik fosters citizenship, leadership and cooperation, by giving experience and opportunity to our youth. Furthermore, it

has been demonstrated that for every dollar the organization spends, $2.20 is generated in our neighbourhoods.

With enough pressure, we can still reverse the Conservatives’ decision. Youth need the tools to succeed; let’s make sure they have them. We must not allow the Katimavik house in Burnaby to close.

Youth Critic

Don’t blame smart meters

Dear Editor:

Anyone who claims that their hydro bill jumped drastically once a smart meter was installed needs to consider the following fact: B.C. Hydro smart meters are still being read manually for billing purposes.

Manual meter reading will continue until the entire smart meter network and backend computer systems are in place later this year.

Yes, installed smart meters are transmitting data, but that data is not yet being used for billing purposes. And, yes, one of the one million installed smart meters was found to be not working correctly. On the scale of one million units, that should not be a surprise. And once the entire smart grid system is up and running, a defective meter or system component would be detected instantly.

So if people are looking for an answer to a sudden, drastic increase in their hydro bill, they should really be looking to human error rather than to technology change as the cause. So far, all but one instance has, in fact, boiled down to human error.

However, no one should ever hesitate to contact B.C. Hydro if they believe there is a problem with their billing. B.C. Hydro replies to all inquiries and refunds customers if a mistake is found – just as one would expect from our public utility.

Choices: Best not always better continued from page 6

emailers: send a few thousand, some of them will get through.

But … in the early years of the war, German tanks killed a lot of Russian tanks.

The Russian crews were badly trained. They had no radios. Stalin had spent a decade purging the Red Army, and as a side effect almost everyone in Russia who understood tank warfare had been shot, or starved to death in Siberia.

The Russians had a steep learning curve before their cheap, reliable tanks were

actually useful.

We face these questions about complexity, simplicity and cost on a constant basis today, so there are lessons to be learned from both the space pen and the T-34.

If you’re designing a public transportation system, do you want it to be high-tech and appealing to drivers? Then you want a light rail or SkyTrain system. But what if you want to change the system’s capacity rapidly and build on the cheap? Then you want more buses.

What about the F-

35 fighter jets, versus unmanned drones? Build a wider, tolled highway bridge, or subsidize highspeed internet so people can work from home.

Of course, each choice has its own problems and quirks that can’t be found in the up front costs.

The simple alternative isn’t always simpler, the best isn’t always better, and the most expensive option might save in the long run.

Compost contract costs more than expected The City of Burnaby is increasing its contract with Fraser Soil and Fiber Ltd. to process residents’ compostable materials to $5.74 million.

That is an increase of $1.57 million more than the original contracted amount for the five-year period from September 2007 to August 2012.

Council approved the increase

at its April 16 meeting, due to the city exceeding the current contracted limits on compostable materials a few months before the contract was due to end.

“It’s one of the few extensions of a contract that is good news,” Mayor Derek Corrigan said, pointing out that it means residents are exceeding the city’s expectations when it comes to composting food

scraps and yard waste.

Council also approved an increase for the city’s contract with Mundie’s Towing.

Costs have increased since the contract was awarded in 2008, according to a report from the city’s finance committee, due to higherthan-expected use of towing and higher-than-estimated ICBC rate increases since then.

The contract, which runs until March 2013, was initially for $196,000. The city has agreed to increase that amount to $317,760 for towing and vehicle storage.

Burnaby receives $180,000 annually from Mundie’s Towing from its towed vehicle charges, which will continue until the contract expires.

RCMP: Mayor reserving judgment on policing contract continued from page 1

province pays only 70 per cent of the costs of using RCMP police resources such as traffic supervision and commercial crime investigation – Ottawa picks up the other 30 per cent – while negotiating a deal where larger cities like Burnaby remain on the hook for 90 per cent of the costs of contracting the RCMP for police services.

“The province negotiates the best deal they can for themselves, and they sell out their partners to

be no additional costs. … Now we’re hearing it could cost us up to $1 million a year to help pay for that building.”

Corrigan said he has remained relatively quiet on the RCMP contract issue because he is still getting information about the deal’s complex intricacies. For example, Corrigan pointed out that the province negotiated their deal with the federal government whereby the

“I would think it would make more sense for an 80-20 split.”

And that points to the bigger problem of the municipalities not even being at the negotiating table.

“The province and the federal government negotiate, and the municipalities are in the crowd watching. … The province asserts the right to negotiate on behalf of the municipalities, and we have to

pay the bill.”

Corrigan said he’s looking forward to what his colleagues have to say at today’s meeting.

“I’ll be interested to see whether others share the same concerns I have,” said Corrigan. “Many of these costs have been put on the table for the first time. … Was this intentional obfuscation by the federal and provincial government? I want to see what issues come out of the April 20 meeting.”

Horne pointed out that corporations, like Chevron, already benefit from the

carbon tax; the government reduced the corporate income tax rate from 12 to 10 per cent to keep the tax revenue-neutral. (Lord declined to provide information on those savings for the refinery.)

No more outages: Mark DalSanto, a supervisor of traffic engineering with the city, foreground, with a new uninterrupted power supply unit at Edmonds.

ICBC invests in local road safety projects Alfie Lau

staff reporter

A little money goes a long way, as ICBC recently invested $130,000 into road improvement projects in Burnaby and New Westminster.

New Westminster got the bulk of that money, as $100,000 went into improvements at four different intersections.

In Burnaby, the improvements went into an intersection at Gilmore Avenue and Douglas Road, along with work at 10 different locations where the power supply will now be uninterrupted, even during a power outage.

According to Gord Couling, ICBC’s regional road safety manager for Burnaby and Port Moody, ICBC traditionally pays a portion of the cost of the work and the city where the improvements are pays the remainder.

The amounts above are what ICBC paid for each project.

Doug Louie, the assistant director of engineering for the City of Burnaby, said the city now has 36 intersections with uninterrupted power supply.

“We have had power failures, and this definitely has come in handy,” said Louie of the backup battery device that has been installed for the past two years.

Louie said uninterrupted power supply at major intersections minimizes traffic chaos. The city works with ICBC to determine which locations are the best value for the investment.

Louie and Couling said a recent installation at Kingsway and Edmonds is important because that is a busy intersection with mul-

tiple challenges.

Louie also said that making improvements to Douglas Road and Gilmore Avenue will make the crossing much more pedestrianfriendly.

“We identified that intersection as one that needed some work, and we worked with ICBC to make it happen,” said Louie.

ICBC launched the road improvement program in 1989 and, since then, has invested more than $100 million in projects across the province.

In 2011, ICBC invested approximately $4 million in projects in the Lower Mainland and $6.5 million in 283 projects across the province.

The most recent evaluation of the program found that two years following a project’s implementation, there is on average, a 20 per cent reduction in severe crashes and a 12 per cent reduction in property damage crashes.

The evaluation concluded that for every dollar invested in a project, ICBC and customers save $5.60 over two years and $12.80 over five years in reduced claims costs.

“The numbers speak for themselves,” said Couling.

“This is a phenomenal return on our investment, and, more importantly, it is making the roads safer for everybody.”

While Burnaby only saw a small portion of the ICBC funds this year, the city has benefited from more than $5 million invested by ICBC into road improvement projects in the 22 years of the program.

“The funding is cyclical,” said Couling. “We work with each city on what improvements have to be done each year and there was a greater need in other cities (than Burnaby).”

Karon Trenaman, ICBC regional road safety coordinator for New Westminster and Delta, said New Westminster’s major concerns with left-turn phasing have been addressed.

In particular, the intersection of Royal and Eighth, which received the most funding this time, will make it easier for cars coming off of Stewardson Way to turn north from Royal Avenue toward Burnaby.

“New Westminster identified left turns along Royal Avenue as something they wanted addressed,” said Trenaman. “This is a priority we worked with them to address.”

THEN & NOW – DISCOVERING BURNABY’S PAST AND PRESENT THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHS In old black-and-white snapshots are revealed life from another time: the styles, fashions, vehicles and homes from a bygone era.

In recent issues, the NOW has published the first instalments of our special series, Then & Now, taking a closer look at the peo-

ple and places of Burnaby’s past and present, including the story of lifelong Burnaby residents marking their 60th anniversary and a city resident who spent her entire career with the Burnaby RCMP. Today, we check out longtime city institution, Kask Bros., and its part in the devel-

opment of the early city. Keep an eye on upcoming editions for more instalments in the Then & Now series, and watch our website at www.burnabynow.com for a photo gallery of images from the series.

A city institution rolls on in Burnaby

T

he name of Kask is a familiar one in Burnaby, and rightly so – it’s been part of the fabric of the community for nearly 90 years.

Kask Bros., which supplies concrete throughout the Metro Vancouver region, is now a division of Lafarge Canada Inc., but it began as a rugged camp in the early pioneer days in Burnaby, sitting on what was then known as Barnet Road, along the shores of the Burrard Inlet.

The land was bought by William Kask Sr. in 1925, and workers from the nearby Barnet Mill rented cabins on the land, which became known as Kask’s Camp.

In all, about 30 cabins were built on the site.

The Burnaby city archives include dozens of photos, textual records and more for the Kask family that give a glimpse into the family itself but also to what the city was like in its earliest days. Photos show family members, including photos of William Kask Sr. and images of the family home (a modest wood cabin with a small porch surrounded by forest).

One photo, dubbed “View from Kask’s Camp” shows a photo of a flat-topped hill, with the following information attached: “Photograph of top of the hill moved by William Kask, Sr. at the request of Jenny Korhonen Kask, who wanted a better view of Burrard Inlet DATELINE 1950 and the islands from her house in Kask’s Camp ... .

ARTHRITIS

Pain free in 2 weeks!

This is what happened to me personally. After suffering for years I desperately tried everything, drugs, natural products, physiotherapy, acupuncture, magnets and nothing was of any real help. Finally I had relief in 2 weeks by taking shark cartilage that was specially processed to preserve the natural active ingredients. This is the kind we are now promoting. I realized then that there are over 50 million men and women that are battling the same illness and getting treatments that are not working well, otherwise we would not have this ongoing huge health problem. In the last 10 years we have helped tens of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all. This is a by-product of the American food industry. No sharks are caught because of their bones/cartilage. Don’t let activists confuse you.

Nick A. Jerch, President We have real EVIDENCE that it works. On our web site you find over 100’s of testimonials with full names and towns. All 100% true.

Skeptics may call them. Here are some examples:! Doctor suggested knee replacement after all his options failed with drugs and cortisone shots in knee and lower back. I recommend Bell Shark Cartilage to those #1 millions suffering needlessly like I did for 40 years with arthritis in my knees. It's a shame that I was given drugs and injections all these years when a natural medicine could have spared me the endless torture day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON !My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA!I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON!Cancelled knee replacement. I was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK.!For 32 years I cried barrels of tears. Was in and out of hospitals costing society tens of thousands of dollars. I have taken many thousands of pills that nearly killed me. Finally 3 bottles of Bell Shark Cartilage costing less than $100 stopped a lifetime of suffering without side effects. Eleanor Sauson, Shigawake, QC!Others write: Can walk again for hours…Climb stairs without hanging on to railing…First time in 15 years can sleep at night…Rheumatoid pain in joints down 90%, same for my sister.

Heartburn Reflux

The USDA now recommends to eat 50% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, salads, fruit). Health professionals suggest 80% alkaline food.

Unfortunately, North American people eat 90% acidic food (meat, noodles, rice, bread, pastries, sweets, junk food). If you cannot change your diet to USDA’s 50% or closer to 80% alkaline food, consider to supplement with a natural health product that helps to increase your pH alkaline level close to a healthy #7. Ask for Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39.

It’s inexpensive, has no side effects and may eliminate the need for antiacid pills many people take. As a bonus, an alkaline balanced body prevents many illnesses. See guarantee printed on box.

CONTROL WEIGHT = CONTROL BLOOD SUGAR

By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD.

Long term weight control without controlling blood sugar is destined to fail. This is why we have an epidemic of obesity. How it works: Stops the “roller coaster” of cravings and appetite to eat foods like sugar and starches that cause high blood glucose levels, which then brings on your pancreas to automatically pump insulin into your blood stream. Subsequently the high level of insulin precipitates low levels of blood glucose and cravings for more sugar and starchy carbohydrates (breads, noodles, crackers, cereals, french fries) which you don’t need and therefore it goes into unwanted fat storage and being overweight. Experts now recognize these basic facts.#40 Bell Blood Sugar Imbalance helps to stop this vicious cycle and puts you in control. Dr. Hammond says this natural product works 10 times better because it reprograms our brain and pancreas to release insulin in a controlled manner. Helpful non-fattening eating suggestions in the box. Fibers and exercise like walking are beneficial and help after you control the underlying basic blood sugar imbalance.

!Working in a health food store I heard people saying how well #40 #40 works. I tried it myself. Finally a product that controls my blood sugar much better than anything else we had in the store. Thank you for helping people around the world. Irene M. Urdialez, 43, Brynton Beach, FL ! My medical indicated pre-diabetic. I took #40. When re-tested readings were fine.

This helped my metabolism and my weight is down 25 lbs. I am grateful to the health food store people for their advice. Michael O’Brien, 60, Rutherglen, ON ! I finally found the right approach to losing weight. I tried for 3 years to lose weight. After starting #40 my blood sugar is stable now. I was able to stop overeating and lost my excess weight. Sara John, 40, Kitchener, ON !I was struggling for 15 years with weight gain in spite of diet and exercise. I was diagnosed as prediabetic. I will forever be grateful to the store manager that explained to me to take #40 and read suggestions to avoid fattening foods. I lost 70 lbs. My fasting blood sugar is now 92. My 2 hour post meal glucose level is now 92 as well. My new shape raised my self-esteem and gave me immeasurable peace of mind. Karen Maples, 55, Clarksville, TN ! Diabetic eliminated high blood sugar levels with #40. My readings were 140 to 200 and are now 99 to 122 range where I want it to be. Before I bought about 10 different supplement that were more expensive and didn’t work as well. I also lost some weight. A great improvement in my health and daily living.

A Burnaby production company is bringing a celebrated Chilean ensemble to the stage in Vancouver.

Burnaby’s Brisa Productions is presenting a rare Canadian performance by Inti-Illimani at the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts on April 24.

The concert, which marks the group’s 45th anniversary, is set for 8 p.m.

Inti-Illimani began in 1967, started by a group of students at the Universidad Técnica del Estado at Santiago in Chile.

In 1973, while they were touring abroad, General Augusto Pinochet led the military coup that deposed the elected government of Salvador Allende. Knowing of the kill-

ings of many fellow artists by the army, Inti-Illimani took up residence in Italy and went on what they’ve termed “the longest tour in history” for the next 15 years, advocating internationally to put an end to military dictatorship in Chile.

In September 1988 they were able to return to their native country, and they continued their activism to help vote down a referendum that would have consolidated Pinochet’s power.

Since then, the eight-member ensemble has continued to tour internationally and create new work. Their 45th anniversary showcase will feature work that spans the years of their existence.

Burnaby resident Waldo Brino – principal of Brisa Productions – has longstanding ties to Inti-Illimani, as he was the manager of the group from 1993 to 1997.

Navigating the choppy waters of teen romance

Author to talk in Burnaby about teens and dating

Christina Myers staff reporter

Usually when there’s a frog and a prince involved, the story is a fairytale – but in this case, the happily-ever-after is less about romance and more about reality and respect.

Author Kaycee Jane will be at the McGill branch of Burnaby Public Library next week, talking to parents and caregivers about helping their teens navigate healthy relationships.

Several years ago, Jane published Frog or Prince: The Smart Girl’s Guide to Boyfriends.

It was, she says, prompted by watching her own teen daughter start navigating romantic relationships and not faring as well as Jane would have liked.

“I have a daughter and she was a teenager then, and much to my chagrin, she started becoming involved with someone,” recalls Jane. “She got a boyfriend, and we had a rule – no boyfriends. Well, just saying ‘no boyfriends,’ that didn’t work very well.”

Jane says her daughter, like many young teens, lacked the necessary communication skills and understanding to know what she wanted or needed and then translate that into a healthy relationship.

“They believe they know love, but there’s still a lot to learn,” she says.

Jane says the modern teen has all the same troubles that past generations have had – broken hearts, unrequited love, mixed messages and more – but the current generation is looking for love in a culture that has shifting social norms and even different language when talking about relationships.

“When I was young, when most of us (parents) were starting to date, we had a bunch of cultural norms around relationships – you went on dates, and if someone was your ‘boyfriend’ you knew what that meant – but today there is this ‘hooking up’ culture, and hooking up can mean anything. It could be kissing to sex, it could be seeing lots of different people.”

Jane, who earned her MBA at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby and lives in Vancouver, says that changes the expectation of teens and leaves them at a loss for what

Thank you Vancouver!

Writer and mom: Kaycee Jane was inspired to write

Frog or Prince after watching her daughter start dating.

She’ll be talking at McGill library next week. that’s standing up and respecting yourself.”

“You have to reset the bar: to have them talk about and look what their standards are and what they want and need. To be insightful.”

Being able to help guide teens through these tough years won’t just help them in the short term.

Jane says the research on teen relationships is pretty clear: negative relationships early on can lead to negative relationships down the road, as issues of low self-esteem and inability to communicate snowball.

And though the stereotypes often portray teenage boys in a negative light, the truth is that most teens are

to expect and demand for themselves.

“It’s a very confusing culture for them – we had that expectation that a boyfriend or girlfriend meant a specific type of relationship, and it was really clear if you broke that agreement.

“Now there’s this range, from less serious to more serious, and ‘hooking up’ means everything in between.”

For many girls, that can mean being quiet about what they want, for fear of appearing needy or expecting too much – or simply confusion about how serious the relationship is.

“Girls think they’re being too needy if they talk about what they want.

But that’s not being needy,

Thank you, Mr. Tallarico

Jennifer Moreau

en years of fundraising at Lougheed Town Centre culminated in a $17,000cheque for the Burnaby Firefighters’ Charitable Society.

For the past decade, the mall has been raising money for the firefighters’ group, through proceeds from stroller rentals and photos at Halloween and Christmas.

To date, the mall has raised more than $259,000 for the Burnaby Firefighters’ Charitable Society, whose members volunteer in the community and fundraiser for local causes.

I received a lovely surprise email from my elementary school teacher Luigi Tallarico, wondering if I was the same girl he taught back in the ’80s in Delta.

Here’s what he wrote: “I taught a wonderful young girl named Jennifer Moreau back in the 1980s at Devon Gardens Elementary in North Delta.

I recall that she had great talent in writing stories.

Was that you or just someone with the same name? In any case, I enjoy reading your columns.

Regards, Luigi Tallarico” Yes, that was me, and I would like to say thanks to Mr. Tallarico, who encouraged me as a very young writer.

I had my first taste of journalism under his guidance during a class news-

paper project.

I wrote an article about how someone had tried to set a bush on fire in front of the school.

I marched very seriously down to the office, notepad in hand, inquiring about the case of suspected vandalism, and I was thrilled when my story made the front page.

I also wrote a poem that was published in the local community paper, and Mr. Tallarico proudly shared the news with my classmates. So thank you to Mr. Tallarico and all the teachers who encourage and foster us as children.

Teens: Changing cultural norms continued from page 20

seeking the same thing.

“Gender differences … in the research we see the only difference between the genders is the myths: that boys are players. Boys have exactly the same feelings and wants and needs and desires as girls.”

Those myths, and cultural expectations, can drive the way people act.

“They’re really figuring this all out on their own,

they’re not being taught.

“When I told my daughter ‘no boyfriends’ I was trying to avoid the negative consequences. But there are positive consequences in healthy relationships – but they don’t get to experience the positive consequences if they don’t know what makes for a healthy relationship.”

Learning that, says Jane, creates a “script of love” that they’ll carry through

their life into future relationships.

To hear her talk about Frog or Prince, pre-register for the workshop at McGill Library by calling 604-2998955 or register online at www.bpl.bc.ca.

The event runs on April 26, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

McGill Library is at 4595 Albert St. To read more about Jane’s book Frog or Prince, see www.frogorprince.ca.

Sonic offers plenty to like in a small car

David Chao and Bob McHugh

NOW contributors

The subcompact market has always been a strong area for Canada, mainly because we “like small cars” and appreciate their fuel efficiency and affordability.

The all-new Sonic replaces the Aveo in the Chevrolet lineup and has the distinction of being the only subcompact car that’s currently made in North America.

What’s more, it’s built in the Detroit, Michigan area at GM’s Lake Orion plant, which received a $545-million investment upgrade to build Sonic.

And it has added 1,000 new jobs in an area with high unemployment.

Sonic is offered in two body styles: a four-door sedan and a five-door hatchback. It was designed in Korea and is built on a GM global platform, yet it possesses a distinctly American flavour. While compact on the outside, it has a surprisingly roomy feel to its interior, and its front seats can comfortably accommodate an above-averagesize person.

All the modern connectivity features – USB, Bluetooth for phone and MyChevrolet mobile application – that buyers are looking for are available. Plus, Sonic is designed to be one of the safest vehicles in the segment, with six standard and 10 available airbags.

The GM OnStar system with six months of Turn-by-Turn navigation service is included and you can add features like XM Satellite Radio, remote start, heated front seats and a sunroof.

Active safety features include anti-lock brakes, electronic brake force distribution, Hill Hold Assist and the StabiliTrak electronic stability control with rollover sensing.

A standard hill-hold feature, which comes with both auto and manual transmissions, delays brake release for two seconds on a stationary takeoff, when the Sonic is on an incline. It’s particularly handy while trying to juggle the brake and clutch pedals with a manual transmission.

The base engine is an Ecotec 1.8-litre engine paired with either a five-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmis-

With spring weather finally making its way to the local area, more and more people will be thinking about heading out for road trips.

Whether it’s a short weekend jaunt or a longer journey, the B.C. Automobile Association offers a reminder to always plan ahead and prepare your vehicle.

Some tips:

Plan ahead

◆ Chart your path electronically and on paper. In addition to a GPS (Global Positioning System) device, use up-to-date maps or travel guides that can be marked up with your travel notes. Carrying printed maps will also ensure you have access to road details at all times. ◆ Research your route. Check ahead for road conditions and roadwork schedules, and scan for radio stations offering local travel info. Figure out where gas stations, campgrounds and other accommodations are located along your route. ◆ Leave an itinerary with someone you trust. Share details about your schedule such as planned arrival times, where you plan to stop and how long you’ll stay. ◆ Schedule regular phone calls. Set up specific call times with friends or family so they know where you’re located at all

times. Try to anticipate areas where cellphone service may be unavailable. ◆ Carry travel medical insurance. If you’re travelling anywhere outside B.C., ensure you carry adequate medical insurance for yourself and all family members in case of emergencies.

Prepare your vehicle

◆ Give your vehicle a thorough tune-up.

Get your vehicle inspected by a licensed auto repair technician at least two weeks prior to your trip to allow time for repairs.

Get the following items checked: wiper blades, all fluids, tire pressure and tread, hoses and belts, brakes and air conditioning. ◆ Check your spare tire. Ensure your spare tire is in good condition and properly inflated. Make sure you carry proper tools required to change a tire such as a tire iron that fits your vehicle’s lug nuts, a car jack and WD-40 to help loosen rusted or tightly wound lug nuts. ◆ Understand your GPS device. Make sure your GPS unit works properly and is accurately calibrated. Ensure you understand how to use your GPS device by reading the manual thoroughly or contacting the GPS manufacturer or retailer – source: www.bcaa.com

We get it -- You love your car. The good news is we do too. From tires to automotive maintenance and seasonal service, we’re passionate about pampering your ride. Our highly trained service professionals are among the best in the business. We’re experienced, honest and we love what we do, so you can expect exceptional service every time.

From inspection to perfection, Feel the CAR LOVE today.

Sonic: Safety and design are high points for new subcompact continued from page 33

The 2012 Chevrolet Sonic comes with a standard tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel and 60-40 folding rear seats. Alloy wheels (instead of steel wheels) are standard, which is unusual in this highly price sensitive car class.

The competition in this class has certainly increased in numbers, of late. The Toyota Yaris and the Honda Fit are popular stalwarts, and new entries include the Hyundai Accent, Ford Fiesta and Mazda2.

Our test Sonic was a mid-trim level LT 5-door hatchback ($17,495) with an 1.8-litre engine and an automatic transmission ($1,500). It was a very well equipped version with lots of extras. A sunroof was included in an optional ($1,550) appearance package. The total price came to $22,340.

The Looks

Sonic’s headlights and tail lights, which are apparently motorcycleinspired, stick up from the body, and, combined with bulging fenders, it has a stocky “in your face” appearance, from a front view. Another distinctive design feature of the hatchback is its supposedly “concealed” rear door handles.

While the trademark dual-port grille is not as prominent as on other Chevy products, there are some nice details to this very likable design. Tight body panel fit tolerances and a top quality paint finish, on my (Crystal) red test Sonic, were good indicators of quality.

The Inside

The biker design theme carries over inside with

a small, mainly digital, gauge set with a large, round tachometer. A tiltand-telescoping steering wheel comes standard, and it’s a deceptively spacious cabin with excellent headroom, even in the rear.

Tall, narrow storage pockets on either side of the centre stack are another different feature, and they appeared to be designed to hold audio players or other connectables. There are lots of storage places for knick-knacks and a hidden storage area beneath the rear cargo floor. With the rear seat folded there’s 869 litres of usable cargo space.

Safety

Like most vehicles, six airbags are standard, but my test Sonic came with what’s called a “Peace of Mind” package ($400), which added knee airbags for the front occupants and seat-mounted side airbags for the rear passengers.

off the steering wheel … then again, so does a real manual transmission.

The standard 1.8-litre engine can provide peppy acceleration from a standing start, but the automatic’s shift pattern appears to be set up to provide best fuel economy.

Sonic recorded a zeroto-100 km/h time of 10.4

seconds at the AJAC Car of the Year evaluation event, which is a reasonably quick time in this car category.

At the same event, Sonic recorded the shortest (41.8 metres) stopping distance (in category) from 100 km/h, in an emergency braking test.

Sonic’s overall package

of standard and available safety features is very impressive, right down to its extra-large side mirrors.

Other than rear C-pillars, which are a bit wider than usual, driver vision is very good overall.

Sonic is a very easy vehicle to park and is surprisingly stable at high speeds, due to a suspen-

sion that was specially tuned for North American highways.

The Score

The 2012 Chevrolet Sonic is a surprisingly roomy, well designed, economical and good to look at small hatchback with a high level of standard features and top-notch safety.

The Drive

A remote start feature comes with the Sonic’s optional automatic transmission, and on a chilly winter morning it certainly comes in handy, especially if it’s parked outside. It’s an extra button on the key fob that allows the driver to start the engine (with the doors locked).

The head start on the interior heat-up and deicing can be done while bundling up to face winter’s chilly wrath and frantically searching for the ice scraper.

The automatic also comes with a unique manual mode feature, which is a toggle switch on the shift lever knob. While a handy placement, it does take the driver’s right hand

With just over four months left before the 2012 Paralympic Games in London, this weekend’s championships, which culminate in the finals at Killarney Secondary School in Vancouver Friday to Sunday, will also serve as a key selection tool for the national team to the Games this summer.

“B.C. is one of the better provinces. Right now we have half the senior team from B.C. There is also one woman on the women’s team, plus two others on the development team,” said Mike Lonergan, program director for B.C. Blind Sports and team leader for the 2012 Paralympic team.

New Westminster’s Doug Ripley, a top Paralympic sprinter before shifting his focus to goalball, is currently a member of the six-player national men’s team along with Ahmad Zeidavi and Brendan Gavlin of Vancouver.

Goalball was developed in 1946 as one method to help rehabilitate war veterans. It became a Paralympic sport in the 1970s and had its debut in Toronto in 1976.

The women’s game came onboard at the 1984 Games in New York, where Canada debuted with a second-place finish.

The women’s national

team has since won four more medals, including back-to-back gold at the 2000 and 2004 Games in Sydney and Athens, respectively.

The best-ever showing for the men’s team was a silver medal at the Atlanta Games in 1996.

At the Beijing Games, both the men and women finished in fifth place.

This year’s nationals will see Alberta, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia taking part in the team trials.

The object of the game is to score into a gaping nine-metre net while blindfolded players rely on their hearing to help them block the ball, which is implanted with two bells for orientation purposes.

“It’s throwing and blocking and the speed of the game,” said Lonergan.

“The court is 18 metres long, so players don’t have much time to track the ball.”

With throwers hurling the weighted 1.25-kilogram ball to minimize its

bounce, blockers must orient themselves on the floor using stringed court lines.

The speed of the game has also raised the level of fitness in today’s players, said Lonergan.

Players have just 10 seconds to throw the ball, which can reach speeds of 70 kilometres per hour in the men’s game.

An average number of saves per game runs into the 70s while game scores seldom reach double figures, Lonergan added.

“It can be very exhaust-

ing,” he said. “A good thrower is what every team wants. It’s a benefit.”

Hosting the nationals will be a great opportunity to send a message to the visually impaired community of the activities are out there, Lonergan said.

“It shows blind athletes here that they have a chance to take part in a sport – a competitive sport – that can take them to any level they want to go,” he said.

The championships run all day April 20 to 22.

Bruins rated high for WHL draft

Three Burnaby Winter Club hockey players were projected as top-10 forward picks at the upcoming Western Hockey League bantam draft.

Matthew Barzal, Adam Musil and Ty Ronning of Burnaby were all picked as possible first-rounders by Global Edmonton reporter Dean Millard on WHL’s prospect central website.

Barzal, the MVP at the recent Western Canada AAA bantam championship won by the winter club for a second consecutive season, was ranked the top forward pick overall.

“A superstar in waiting,” said Millard in the release. “Wouldn’t be surprised if someone tried to get him in the league next year.”

The 6-1, 165-pound Musil, son of former NHLer Frank Musil, was slotted as the likely No. 2 pick.

“Frank’s kid is an exceptional skater for a big power forward. Not fun to play against. … very tough,” Millard added.

In the 10th spot was Ronning, the son of former Vancouver Canuck and Burnaby Sports Hall of Fame forward Cliff Ronning.

Millard had high praise for the 5-7 winger, who had four goals and seven assists at the Westerns.

“Maybe the best habits of any forward in this draft,” said Millard. “Has work ethic like his father, and maybe more skill.”

Five Burnaby soccer clubs to Coastal Cup semifinals Tom Berridge

Burnaby is still alive in five Coastal A Cup playdowns.

The Burnaby Selects advanced to the semifinals in four separate boys’ divisions, while the Burnaby Girls Strikers also moved into the final four in the under-18 age group following last weekend’s action.

The u-18 Selects got shutout goalkeeping from Geordie Penman and single goals from Justin Dhaliwal and Jayson Santiago, with the game-winner in a 2-0 win over Langley United at Burnaby Lake-West on Sunday.

The Selects also stayed in contention for the Coastal Cup in the boys’ u-13, u-14 and u-15 A playdowns.

Oliver Morrison-Harding broke open a 1-1 u-14 matchup with Vancouver FC midway through the second half with a pair of goals, including the game-winner on a nifty flick over the goalie off a long free kick. Burnaby went on to win 3-1.

Sebastian Solorio Diaz opened the scoring for the u-14 Burnaby club with a first-half marker.

Burnaby will take on No. 1 Port Moody on Saturday at 2 p.m.

The u-13 regular season champion Selects bombed the West Vancouver Rangers 8-0 in their quarter-final match Saturday.

Sekawnee Baker led the way with a hat trick, while Mario Greco and Abobaker Ghaus both notched a pair of goals. Tak Tasaka added a single marker for the Selects, which lost just once this season. Aleks Kalajdzic got the shutout in goal for Burnaby.

Burnaby takes on CCB Pegasus in the semifinal at Burnaby Lake-West at noon Saturday.

The u-15 Selects also won, beating Surrey Guildford 3-1 at Cloverdale Athletic Park.

Eric Malli potted a pair of goals for the winners, including the game-opening tally. James Szabo collected Soccer Page 38

All three Burnaby wrestlers also won GrecoRoman titles, which is essentially upper bodyonly wrestling.

EAST COAST HOCKEY

Wings floor opponents at B.C. gym provincials

Burnaby keeper named March goalie of the month Elmira Jackals goalie Brian Stewart was named the goaltender of the month in the East Coast Hockey League earlier this month.

The Burnaby backstopper went 7-1-1 with one shutout and a 1.62 goals against average in nine appearances for the Jackals in March.

Stewart also posted an eye-popping 0.937 save percentage during that ninegame span to help the New York AA affiliate to both the NHL Anaheim Ducks and the Ottawa Senators to the Atlantic Division championship. Elmira is also the No. 1 seed in the Eastern conference heading into the Kelly Cup playoffs.

The 26-year-old Stewart opened the month with three straight wins, including his first shutout of the season on March 4 against Reading.

After his only regulation loss of the month mid-March to the Florida Everblades, Stewart reeled off four consecutive wins, including a 40-save performance in a 3-2 victory

at Wheeling on March 25.

Stewart allowed two goals or less in each of his eight appearances during the month.

The 6-4 keeper is currently third in the league with 26 wins, while his 0.917 save percentage is ninth overall. His 2.56 goals against average is 10th in the league.

Stewart has played for three teams and appeared in 69 career games in the East Coast league, posting an overall record of 46-172, including a pair of shutouts.

Last season, Stewart was named to the East Coast all-rookie team after leading the league with a 0.927 save percentage and finishing second with a 2.25 goals against.

Stewart stopped 45 shots and was named the first star in a 3-1 win over the Everblades in Game 1 of the best of seven secondround playoff.

Elmira currently trails No. 5 seed Florida 2-1 in the Eastern conference best-of-seven semifinal.

Wings Gymnastics had a strong Level 2 showing at the B.C. provincial championships last weekend in North Vancouver.

Hailey Massingham placed second all-around in the Level 2 girls’ open, including a third-place finish in floor exercises.

Massingham also placed fourth on uneven bars, sixth on balance beam and seventh on the vault.

Emma Crooks was right behind her Wings teammate in third place, including top-five placements on vault, beam and floor. Crooks won an individual silver medal on the beam.

Racquel Slotten was fifth in the Level 2 open all-around, including top scores on both vault and floor.

Wings gymnasts dominated the floor exercises, taking the top-six placements in the discipline.

Raha Dang and Nikki Nummela finished ninth and 10th, respectively in the girls’ open group.

Dang had a personal-best second on floor, while Nummela was second overall on bars and sixth on floor.

Savana Fogh also had two good showings in the Level 2 group, placing third on beam and fourth on floor.

In Level 2 novice, Megan Heron won the floor exercises and was eighth on vault.

Cancer June 21-July 22: A wish or two might come true over the few weeks ahead. You face a rising popularity, optimism and happiness. Social delights and entertainment arrive. At work, there will be plenty of discussion, but not necessarily action. Still, you are free to communicate with VIPs and higher-ups, and they “like the cut of your jib,” as people used to say. Sunday’s happy. Retreat for a wee rest Monday (careful driving, talking) through Wednesday. Your energy and charisma surge upward Thursday/Friday – use this to overcome domestic and partnership “objections.”

Buy electronics Saturday.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Be ambitious. You might face an ethical or social dilemma on the work front this week. The solution: act ethically, work hard – despite possible pressure from others. Your social life looks grand to early August –you could meet (or have, in April) a gracious, talkative person who lifts your heart a notch. This could become a major affair, but give it time. September onward will tell the truth.

That truth might come in the form of a second love prospect – or not. Don’t reject; do be patient. Your prestige rises Sunday. Love, social joys tickle you Monday/Tuesday and Saturday.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: A sweet, mellow mood flows over you for the weeks ahead. Intellectual, cultural and travel involvements grow. Higher-ups favour you until mid-2013, but hidden glitches exist through August, so step carefully for four months; keep your “moral antennae” fully awake. Sunday’s mellow, wise. Your ambitions awaken (or authorities demand attention) Monday to Wednesday noon. Though you meet much luck and good feeling these days, realize that romance (and communications about it) can upset your financial and intimate applecart. (A slowmotion upset.) Social joys Thursday/Friday.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: One of the most significant months of this year, perhaps of many years, faces you. You’re likely to make some change(s) now that determine to a large extent what your future holds.

You might purchase a home or other real estate (or invest in other things) change your lifestyle, start a powerful sexual relationship, become pregnant, discover a major secret, inherit, or otherwise take some deep step that has big consequences. This should work well, so go ahead, don’t waffle nor opt for passivity. Only one warning: stay away from overly legal, international or scholastic situations.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: No matter how much you protest and complain, true love is coming. It might come today or in five, even 10 years – but while you wait, pleasure and romantic notions will buoy you. Sunday (be early!) and the weeks ahead bring exciting meetings, partnership prospects, relocation and business opportunities – and opposition, if you’re selfish. Don’t be – the rewards for co-operation are big and lucrative. Finances, lifestyle changes, health diagnoses and sexual desires loom large Monday/ Tuesday: act in ambition zones (career, work) Monday, not in legal areas. Love is possible!

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Off to work you go, for several weeks. Protect your health; eat and dress sensibly. A Sunday morning chore might turn to a large task/project for two months – a good one. Relationships confuse, anger and please you Monday to Wednesday (in love, but also in status and money zones). There could be a “parting is such sweet sorrow” situation. Or, a crucial link simply needs “revision.” Guard your money Thursday/Friday – don’t invest. (Longer term, it would disappoint).

A mellow, wise, loving mood (and friends) arrive Saturday. Many prospects come for singles, now to mid-2013.

SUNSET PARK

(13897 Fraser Hwy, Surrey)

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Chase money.

Your work efforts yield extra cash – try to turn any monetary increase into a permanent situation – e.g., a pay raise is better than some overtime.

The entire month ahead features buying, selling, possessions, memory, rote learning and sensual links. If you’re married, you and your spouse face a friendly, pleasant time together, through July. If single, romance is (will be) light, friendly, casual, same period – though it won’t survive if it starts before Thursday. Home, security and property values concern you Thursday/Friday. Romance, creativity Saturday.

Taurus April 20-May 20: Your energy, charm, clout and effectiveness reach a yearly height this week and the next few. Start important projects, and tackle chores or meetings that have intimidated you – you’ll succeed.Your money luck looks buoyant now to early August. If you’re unemployed, the months ahead are an excellent interval to look for work. I’ve called this your lucky year, yet many of you have faced upheaval – in there lies the purest good luck.

Chase money carefully Monday, confidently Tuesday.

A love link might be strained midweek. Talk, travel Thursday/Friday. Home, Saturday.

Gemini May 21-June 20: Retreat, rest, now to May 19 (especially Sunday). You will continue to be attractive to the opposite sex (for 14 months) but your energy and pizzazz are low through the few weeks ahead. This is nature’s time for healing, recuperation and spiritual contact. Be charitable, visit old friends, interface with government. These weeks can present you with good investment opportunities – AFTER Wednesday – especially if you keep these key words in mind: retreat, security, safety. You shine Monday/ Tuesday. Overcome a domestic liability. Organize your money chaos Thursday. Joy, Saturday!

April 22 - 28, 2012 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Ah, sweet romance!

The weeks ahead feature love, pleasure, selfexpression, beauty, winning gambles, and joys with children. There is talk of endings, or of security, home, foundations. Your work scene is pleasant; co-workers are affectionate, into early August. Take advantage of this not to work harder, but to gain a little rest – your chores will multiply from June onward. Your best rest during the month ahead will be adventure, love’s escapades, and creative involvements.

Sunday’s loving. Tackle chores Monday to Tuesday.

Relationships excite, and challenge, Thursday/Friday.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The weeks ahead feature endings and new beginnings, grand luck in real estate, therapies that give you new hope (especially family-oriented counselling, or therapies for digestion). Luck soars in security, retirement and similar zones. You might end a relationship, perhaps with an entire group. You’re pruning your social tree.

Sunday’s restful; be home or in nature. Romance, creativity and speculation call Monday to Wednesday, but go slow: a secret factor might “crush” a friend’s or lover’s feathers. Tackle chores – carefully – Thursday/ Friday. Friends, excitement Saturday!

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Discussions about money, perhaps with a partner or spouse, run into problems the first half of this week. But generally (Wednesday p.m. onward) the air clears and these talks can lead to a career advancement or upward status. You are favoured to buy real estate now to mid-2013, but until Aug. 30 traps and pitfalls exist, so go slow. (That upward status might occur via property: buying a more prestigious house.) Sunday’s restless, talkative, lucky. Home, kids, property occupy you Monday-Wednesday. Romance, creativity and a wee winning streak Thursday/Friday. Chores, Saturday. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 604-727-3673
