No winners or losers on Sports Day Too much fun and not enough game, one parent says

Why did competition get cut from Sports Day? That’s what a Sapperton parent wants to know. Colin Milburn was disappointed to learn that his daughter’s future school, Richard McBride Elementary, doesn’t do “Sports Day” in the way he remembers it.

that learning about competition at a young age prepares kids for the inevitable ups and downs of life.

“Later in life, you learn when you don’t get a job, when your girlfriend dumps you, whatever, you’re not disappointed.

There’s not all of this shock and awe,” he said. “If they don’t learn it young, they are going to learn it eventually.”

Milburn has two kids, aged four and two. His oldest daughter will start at the school in 2013.

Growing up, Milburn played sports and said he was more of an athlete than an

He heard from another parent who told him that the school doesn’t do Sports Day, but instead has a “fun day” now.

“I said, ‘What does that mean?’ They said, ‘Well, they don’t want to compete,’ and I thought ‘That’s kind of strange,’” Milburn said. “I grew up in East Van, and we had sports days, and you won first, second, third place or you didn’t win at all. That’s just life, right, but at the end of the day you get ice cream and everything’s fine.”

“I grew up in East Van, and our lacrosse team was pathetic, but I still enjoyed it,” Milburn said.

McBride’s parent advisory council chair, Laura Swanson, agreed with Milburn that Sports Day is different now.

“But that just seems to be the way it’s become – everybody has to be treated equally, everyone has to get the same things,” she said. “I remember back to my Sports Days in elementary school, and it ◗Sports Day Page 8

Population aging, but adapting Condos

set for Brewery District

BY MARELLE REID REPORTER editorial@royalcityrecord.com

We’re getting older and living longer.

There were 5,825 people aged 100 years or older in Canada last year, according to recent data from the last census. The number of centenarians increased 25.7 per cent between 2006 and 2011.

While the numbers show Canada’s population is indeed aging, there’s no reason to panic about a gray-haired tidal wave of burden soon to come crashing down upon us, according to one local expert.

Andrew Wister, chair of the gerontology department at Simon Fraser University, says some people are overly concerned that a population with an increasing number of people over 65 will slow the economy or put undue pressure on health-care or pension programs.

The issues related to age are more complicated than simple numbers because of the way populations adapt, he said.

“I think we should look very carefully at some other countries and see how they’ve adapted to population aging because I think they’ve done so very successfully; Denmark and Sweden being two (examples).”

Wister says the real focus on aging should be on those over the age of 75 or even 85, who are most likely to need medical services.

Of course, changes don’t happen overnight, and Wister says we should start now to make improvements to the health-care system, as well as help seniors and even younger generations improve their lifestyle habits, such as quitting smoking, exercising more and eating a more balanced diet.

Concerns about excess pressure on younger generations having to compensate for a mass wave of retirement are also likely unwarranted, Wister suggests.

“A lot of people are crying the blues about an effect on pensions, but in fact, older people are working longer, so work life expectancy is on the increase. The push of government is actually to increase opportunities for older workers. Immigration seems to be on the increase, which fills a lot of gaps.”

Adding to the complexity of predicting effects of an aging demographic is the fact that not all communities are actually seeing an increase in their senior population.

Here in New Westminster, for example, the number of residents aged 65 and over remained relatively the same between 2006 and 2011, declining slightly from 13.6 per cent to 13.4 per cent.

Wister says this is likely due to the relative increase in the number of younger residents – young immigrants and families moving into the community.

The Royal City’s population increased by 12.7 per cent between 2006 and 2011, up from 58,549 to 65,976 last year.

The median age in 2006 was 40.6, which remained almost the same at 40.5 in 2011.

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Larry Wright/THE RECORD

Golden years: Canada’s population is aging, with an increasing number of people over the age of 65 relative to other age brackets.

Among the Canadian population, the percentage of people aged 65 and over was 14.8 per cent last year, up from 13.7 per cent in 2006.

Provincially, the number of seniors last year was at 15.7 per cent, slightly higher than the national average.

The second-highest growth rate in Canada below age 50 was seen among the population aged four and under.

The toddler boom, or so-called baby boomlet, is the highest growth rate in this age category since the end of the baby boom.

The population of four and under increased 11 per cent between 2006 and 2011. “There’s another reason why we’ve got these movements through the age structure, and it’s not just increasing and increasing older people that are going to be a huge burden,” Wister said. “So this is a positive in the sense that it’s going to bring new young workers into the system. But it’s not big. An 11 per cent increase in that age group is not huge.”

In New Westminster, the increase in this age group was less than one per cent since 2006.

Wesgroup Properties is ready to embark on some residential construction at the Brewery District.

With commercial and office space already under construction at the Brewery District, Wesgroup Properties will begin building residential units at the Sapperton development in the fall.

“We are proud to announce that the greatly anticipated residential phase of the Brewery District is moving forward, and that Bluetree Homes will be the residential builder,” said Wesgroup president Gino Nonni in a press release. “A strong and reputable residential builder, Bluetree Homes will bring exceptional value to this exciting next phase at the Brewery District, and we are excited to welcome them to this vibrant community.”

Wesgroup will continue to develop the commercial mixed-use component of the Brewery District through to its completion and will retain long-term ownership of the commercial mixed-use development.

Wesgroup Properties and Bluetree Homes are sponsors of the Sapperton Days Street Festival, which takes place on Sunday, June 10 on East Columbia Street.

The first residential highrise tower at the Brewery District will consist of about 130 units.

The first phase of the nine-acre development, which opened in the fall of 2011, includes a number of other retail services and health amenities.

Construction is also well underway for the new TransLink and Transit Police corporate headquarters at the Brewery District, which is scheduled for completion in early 2013.

When complete, the Brewery District will provide approximately 750 new homes for up to 1,500 new residents. It will also provide retail/ commercial space for almost 100 new businesses and have more than 2,300 onsite daily employees.

Justice Institute honours Michael J. Fox

Honour: From left, Justice Institute of B.C. president Jack McGee, Michael J. Fox and Mary Manning, chair of the JIBC board of governors, at the May 31 JIBC graduation ceremonies in New Westminster.

BY ALFIE LAU REPORTER alau@royalcityrecord.com

One of Burnaby’s favourite sons, actor Michael J. Fox, has earned another prestigious honour.

Fox received his honorary degree from the New Westminster-based Justice Institute of British Columbia on May 31.

Fox was recognized with the degree of doctor of laws for his accomplishments as one of Canada’s most revered performers and for his commitment to raising research funding and awareness for Parkinson’s disease through the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.

Fox was in town for his annual golf tournament, but took some time to receive his degree at the institute’s graduation ceremonies.

Early in Fox’s acting career, he worked at the original Justice Institute campus on Jericho Hill in Vancouver, where he played roles in simulations designed to prepare police recruits for the rigours and demands of their policing careers.

In his speech to graduates on Thursday, Fox recalled that when he showed up as a 17-year-old, he was given a protective sleeve to wear for a training exercise with police dogs.

At the time he had a fear of dogs, but he decided that as an actor, he would act as if he was not afraid of dogs.

“I always remember that to be a key turning point in my career and in my life,” said Fox. “If you show bravery, if you show a certain amount of grit, you can get through things. And that’s served me well. I know that you all have had experiences with that in your lives, and I’m just happy and proud that your grit has brought you to a place in public

service, in careers in justice and public safety.”

“You are a true study in character, the best kind of character,” Justice Institute president Jack McGee said. “How you have chosen to live your life inspires us and motivates us in the way that only a few exceptional, humble and insightful individuals each generation ever get to do. Your leadership, your fortitude, your philanthropy, and your generosity of self,

all tell us the story of the capacity of the individual to be a unique force for good in this world.”

Also honoured was R.P. (Val) Pattee, a retired Royal Canadian Air Force pilot and major general, who was recognized for his significant contribution to justice and public safety in the province, through leadership roles as assistant deputy minister of police services, executive director of the B.C. Ambulance Service and chair

of the Justice Institute’s board of governors.

At Thursday’s ceremony, 300 graduates from the Justice Institute’s three schools received their certificates and diplomas.

The Justice Institute of British Columbia is Canada’s leading public safety educator, offering a range of applied and academic programs that span the spectrum of safety from prevention to response and recovery.

Across Canada, the number of communication centres will be nearly halved, and 700 staff face uncertain futures. These communication centres play a pivotal role in providing emergency help to mariners on B.C. waters.

As of 2015, the province’s coastline will now rely upon the dispatches from communication centres in Prince Rupert and Victoria.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper defended the move, stating that the government has, in fact, bolstered marine safety.

However, more experienced voices have stepped forward to say that the changes will do the exact opposite – and that the lack of consultation makes the cuts more worrisome.

When it comes to safety on the water, there should be no cutting corners.

IN MY OPINION

Zoning change bad for area

Dear Editor:

As Sapperton residents we are continually feeling offended by some of those who support the rezoning of our single-family dwelling, RS1-zoned neighbourhood to be transformed into major institutional zoning.

We are continually demonized and vilified by the false reports we are against vulnerable and underprivileged people getting treatment.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Sapperton residents only wish to keep their neighbourhood intact as single-family zoning instead of turning into a strip of major institutions.

Sapperton residents have mentioned many times before we support E-Fry expansion, only without the rezoning of a family neighbourhood.

If the single proposal goes through, this will set a precedent for other major institutions to apply

for the rest of Sapperton, starting with Sherbrooke Street, to be major institutionalized, possibly commercialized.

Some supporters continue to throw low punches into hard-working Sapperton residents by saying we do not support people in need.

Supporters who continually defend E-Fry expansion are arguing the wrong debate. Let’s all argue the changing of a historic and family-oriented neighbourhood and if it is right to transform it into a major institution.

The loss of family dwelling zoning to major institution would be a blow not only to the people who live here but to all families who own property and work hard raising them as it will prove the powerlessness and loss of hope all in the hands of major institutionalism.

Let’s keep the debate professional and within the subject.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Trustee’s response proves by bill of rights is needed

Dear Editor:

Re: Do parents need a ‘bill of rights’?, The Record, June 1.

For school trustee Michael Ewen to reject a parents’ bill of rights because its wording is taken from an American organization suggests that he is putting his biases before the best interests of families.

Too bad Ewen is not more consistent in his rejection of American ideas and products; we could have avoided the incident in which he purchased an iMac for himself with public funds (see citycaucus.com, 2010).

The fact that there are school trustees like Ewen who are against parents “getting” reinforces the need for a parents’ bill of rights. We are talking about kids who belong to the parents, and teachers’ and trustees’ salaries that are paid by the parents.

The arrogance and biases of those who do not understand that parents need to play the primary role in their children’s education is exactly why we need a parents’ bill of rights.

I’m sure the numbers would be similar in Canada, yet too many of us allow our irrational fears to deprive our children of the joy and valuable life experience gained through independent outdoor play. Then we wonder why we have an obesity epidemic on our hands.

Elizabeth Fry Society plans are a benefit to the city Dear Editor:

Re: Expansion means problems, Letters, The Record, June 6.

I’m stunned by the response to the proposed Elizabeth Fry Society development in Sapperton.

I have always been proud that E. Fry was founded in this area by Agnes Macphail in 1939.

New Westminster is a community where we support each other.

We should take comfort in the fact that our family members, neighbours or friends have a safe and supportive place to go if they need assistance.

I support the expansion of affordable housing and daycare spaces in our city.

There is a house for sale next door to me, and Elizabeth Fry is welcome to be my neighbour.

Dear Editor:

Re: Herbert’s 100: If these halls could talk, The Record, May 9.

I must take strong exception to Niki Hope’s gratuitous remark that Herbert Spencer principal Tracy Fulton’s childhood reminiscences were from a time when children could walk to the park by themselves.

Children today are just as capable of walking by themselves as those of yesteryear.

Ms. Hope is improperly holding children responsible for the absurd overprotectiveness of too many parents today – who have probably watched far too many U.S. television news reports of child abductions. (Incidentally, this climate of fear isn’t helped by the flyers sent to parents by the school district every time a child walking to school encounters someone behaving unusually, which gravely warn that kids should walk in groups as “there is safety in numbers” – as if our community were a war zone.)

Dear Editor:

Our doctor is retiring.

After more than 40 years of serving patients in New Westminster and area, Dr. Earl Hutchinson is closing his practice.

He’s not retiring the way he had hoped, but finding someone to take over a family practice in these days of walk-in clinics is almost impossible.

I could write a large chapter about the many ways Dr. Hutchinson has helped our family over the years.

I’m certain that many of his valued patients could contribute to what would be a very large book.

My feelings regarding Dr. Hutchinson are summed up best in the words of my morning coffee friend, Ron Spence: “He’s been a wonderful doctor for 40 years.

They’ll never find another one like him!”

Enjoy your retirement, “Hutch.” You’ve earned it!

Grants offered for neighbourhood projects

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

A Vancouver Foundation program that’s been engaging residents in other communities is coming to New Westminster.

The goal of the Vancouver Foundation’s neighbourhood small grants program is to connect and engage community members at the neighbourhood level by providing individual community members with small amounts of money to develop ideas they may have.

“This program is intended to build leadership strength and capacity; create a sense of belonging, inclusion and pride; enhance and share knowledge and skills; and recognize diversity,” said a recent staff report to city council. “Examples of projects funded in other participating communities include a book exchange, a canning workshop, a community garden, an intergenerational storytelling project and a street party.”

The Vancouver Foundation approached the City of New Westminster in March

about offering the neighbourhood small grant program in the Royal City. Family Services of Greater Vancouver is serving as the host agency for the pilot program in New Westminster.

The program offers grants of $50 to $500 to groups of neighbours who want to work together on small projects to enhance their neighbourhoods socially, physically or culturally. Events must be free of charge to all participants.

According to Family Services, the application deadlines are June 25 and Sept. 17, and projects must be complete by Feb. 28, 2013. People can contact coordinator Maylen Crespo at mcrespo@fsgv.ca or apply online at www.neighbourhood smallgrants.ca/new-westminster.

The program will be coordinated by a host agency and funded by the Vancouver Foundation. The city will assist in setting up the program and will work with grant applicants to assist them in implementing their activities or staging their events.

A total of $20,000 is available in 2012 for programs in New Westminster.

was competitive. People got first, second and third place, (and) people got nothing.

“What I see in school now is kids aren’t allowed to be competitive. ... and it’s unfortunate because there are kids that excel academically, but the kids that are not academic – that excel on the sports field – are not recognized in the school.”

But Swanson has also seen the dark side of competition, when kids become too competitive and cruel.

“I have memories of a

district track meet, a few years ago, where, unfortunately on someone’s very poor planning, the lastplace ribbon was black.

And one of the girls at our school had a chest full of black ribbons at the end of the day, and she was in tears because not only was she represented as being last, but she was also teased by other participants, the ones with the blue ribbons plastered across their chest.”

Cutting competition out of Sports Day is a “tough call,” Swanson said.

Last year, McBride awarded ribbons for first,

second and third place, but changed this year because some of the teachers “didn’t seem to support” it being competitive, and because there were kids in tears who didn’t fare as well as others, Swanson said.

Also, at the end of last year’s Sports Day, which is organized by the parent council, there were rippedup ribbons strewn all over Sapperton Park, she said.

“We decided, money not well spent,” Swanson said.

This year, they ordered just one type of ribbon for every student – a blue and gold one for participation.

Input to be sought on anti-homophobia policy

BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

The board of education plans to seek public input on an anti-homophobia policy the New Westminster school district is considering.

The district is developing a sexual orientation/gender identity policy that includes recommendations on curriculum, safety and inclusion for schools and the community at-large.

“There are no concerns that we are aware of in the district,” board of education vice-chair Michael Ewen said, explaining the rationale for developing the policy.

“It’s more of a proactive thing.”

Last November, former school trustee Lori Watt introduced a motion – which the board passed unanimously – that the district develop such a policy, Ewen said. The most-recent follow-up motion to seek input on the draft policy also passed unanimously at the May 22 school board meeting.

The policy is meant to ensure the inclusion of all students and employees in the district, regardless of their sexual orientation. It’s also meant to define the appropriate language and behaviour to prevent and raise awareness about discrimination, harassment and exclusion and to ensure that complaints about homophobia are taken seriously and dealt with in a timely

Spencer won’t get second immersion class Parents, teachers say local school is already overcrowded

BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

There won’t be another French immersion class at Herbert Spencer Elementary school this fall, despite a staff recommendation to add the class.

The board of education talked about it at Tuesday’s committee meeting, but not a single trustee moved a motion to bring in another class.

“We discussed that at great length with a number of parents, and what we did was not make a decision,” board of education chair James Janzen said. “We decided not to make a recommendation to the board. Essentially that means it won’t happen.”

The board did call for public feedback on the motion last month and heard from several parents and even teachers at the school who strongly opposed having another class at the school that they consider to already be overcrowded. Concerns included the number of children on the playground, access to resources and increased traffic in the neighbourhood. Currently, there are three portable classrooms on the

Herbert Spencer site.

Sandra Pace, the district’s director of instruction and student learning, said in a report that a fourth French immersion kindergarten class, the second at Spencer, would satisfy the Canadian Parents for French, please some parents and would ease crowding in the regular program kindergarten classes at some schools.

She said that enrolment at the

Spencer has a current capacity of 506 students. This year it has 471 students, which puts it at 93 per cent utilization. The Education Ministry considers minimum utilization to be 95 per cent and optimal 110 per cent, Pace’s report states.

This is the second year in a row staff has recommended adding a class at the school.

At the adult learning centre’s upcoming graduation ceremony on June 25, Keely will be wearing a First Nations outfit made of tanned hide. The 84-year-old graduate likely won’t have to guess at the meaning of any words when she speaks at the ceremony.

Music, gardening and more in store AROUND TOWN

THERESA MCMANUS

L

ocal music legend Dal Richards is bringing his big band sound back to the Royal City tonight.

Richards and his orchestra will perform at a fundraising concert at the Columbia Theatre on Friday, June 8 (tonight).

The show is a fundraiser for cystic fibrosis, a devastating disease that claimed the life of New Westminster resident Eva Markvoort in 2008.

“Eva’s life was cut short at the tender age of 25 by cystic fibrosis – but not before she was able

to develop a lasting legacy that promotes organ donation and support for crucial research,” said local arts promoter Tony Antonias. “This is precisely the reason we urge you to support this fundraiser. … Knowing my pal Dal Richards as well as I do, I can confidently say he’ll wow audiences and you’ll hear lots of the big band sounds you’ve come to love.”

Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show takes place at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 and available at www. thecolumbia.ca or 604-5224500.

Get gardening

The Plant a Row/Grow a Row program’s weekly collection of food donations begins this weekend.

The program accepts donations of fruits and

veggies, which are then donated to the New Westminster Food Bank.

The idea is that gardeners are encouraged to grow an extra row of produce to donate to the cause – but store-bought produce is also appreciated.

Donations are accepted on Sunday mornings from June 10 to Oct. 14 between 9:30 and 10:30 a.m. at the front entrance to St. Thomas More Collegiate at 7450 12th Ave. in Burnaby – just across the New West border.

Claude LeDoux, a New Westminster resident and the City of New Westminster’s horticulturist, coordinates the program.

Solo show

New Westminster artist Angie Au Hemphill is

being featured in a solo exhibition at the Van Dop Gallery.

The gallery at 421 Richmond St. is presenting an exhibition featuring a collection of new works by the award-winning artist.

A senior signature member of the Federation of Canadian Artists, a gold medalist of the Spilsbury Medal Award and a two-time recipient of the federation’s award of excellence, Au Hemphill’s work can be found in corporate and private collections throughout the world.

The Van Dop Gallery is featuring this exclusive solo exhibition on Saturday, June 16 from 12 to 4 p.m. For more information call 604-521-7887, email gallery@vandopgallery.com or visit vandop gallery.com

Key West Ford is revved up about becoming the main sponsor of the Royal City Show and Shine.

The Downtown New Westminster Business Improvement Association has announced a sponsorship agreement with Key West Ford. The 13th annual festival will now be called the Key West Ford Show and Shine.

“We are extremely proud to be associated with the annual Show and Shine,” said Key West Ford general manager Adam Isfeld in a press release.

“The event draws huge crowds each year and is a great fit for our brand.

We plan to have a large presence at the event and showcase our great line of vehicles that includes our exclusive high performance Roush Mustangs.”

In the spotlight

The Key West Ford Show and Shine, which is taking place on Sunday, July 8, will feature more than 300 classic, vintage, custom and specialty vehicles, dozens of motorcycles, live entertainment all day long, food and interactive activities for the whole family. The free event takes place along Columbia Street between the Pattullo Bridge and Stewardson Way. “Our partnership with Key West Ford on the Show and Shine is a natural,” said Kendra Johnston, executive director of the Downtown New Westminster Business Improvement Association.

here did you get that photo?

That’s a wonderful view of a tall ship at dock on the New Westminster waterfront.”

The image was from an aerial photo taken in the summer of 1929, and prominent in what can be easily identified are the waterfront and the ships moored there.

The photo was not taken to intentionally show this ship, but it is an important part of the scene.

As we have noted recently in this column, old photos can often supply views of things in our history – things that were not the focal point for the photographer, but just happen to be part of the scene.

It is this type of “find” that keeps us searching old prints for the ancillary information that can be obtained.

Today a few more comments on photos we would like to see, or see again. We were reminded recently, during a presentation on Columbian College, that years ago we were shown a photo album filled with snapshots from a woman’s time as a student at the college.

The snaps were wonderful, candid shots of people doing things at the school, interior shots of rooms and events. Wonder if the album is still sitting somewhere waiting to be seen and enjoyed once again?

A couple of the photos

we would love to see and that must be out there somewhere concern the old Royal Columbian Hospital between 1889 and 1913. Apparently there were stained glass windows on either end of the upper floor of the hospital – someone must have taken a photo of them.

The other image concerning this hospital would likely be in the family collections of people who used to live on lower Keary Street adjacent to RCH property.

Somewhere in the background of a family group snap or a view of the backyard will be the old hospital, and we would really like to see it. Again, we know that it has to be out there somewhere.

From more modern times, we have been told of photos of the air ambulance helicopter sitting in Sapperton Park where they used to land prior to construction of the dedicated hospital landing pad.

This image is part of the current Royal Columbian history, one that we would like to see and show others, possibly on our weekly RCH 150 anniversary blog at www.RCH150. wordpress.com.

We so frequently say that we know that there has to be a photo, and we say it a lot about the local cemeteries.

We have some images, but there should be others, such as ones of the large funerals of William Irving, Robert Jamieson, J.T. Scott (we do have his long procession), Frances Herring, Flora Ross.

In a few weeks we’ll tell you of some special images that have actually turned up.

We knew they “had to be somewhere,” and these were certainly worth the wait.

lthough summer is not officially here yet, many of us have already fired up the grill on a few occasions.

(Of course, some dedicated individuals continue to grill all year round.)

Hamburgers are always a favourite for many, but there are still countless people who purchase frozen premade burgers instead of making them from scratch. Therefore it is my quest to give you some great ideas for perfecting the homemade burger patty.

There are several accounts for where the name “hamburger” is derived, but the most common seems to be

chuck as well as a couple grades of ground beef.

Lean ground beef is the most common choice for consumers because it seems to represent the best value. It typically has no more than 17 per cent fat, but because of this fat content the finished burger has more flavour and moisture than extra-lean ground beef.

Extra-lean ground beef has no more than 10 per cent fat content. This not only makes it a leaner choice but a healthier one as well. Nutritionists will tell you that if you enjoy eating burgers, then extra-lean ground beef in moderation is a great way to help reduce saturated animal fats. If you find it’s too lean, then one could always add a small amount of healthier olive oil to your burger mix.

Ground sirloin is exactly what the name states.

Regular, lean and extralean ground beef comes from a variety of different

cuts of beef, but ground sirloin is only derived from the primal loin and sub-primal sirloin areas of the cow. Ground sirloin thus offers more robust meat flavour and is somewhat tender, but leaner yet than the above mentioned ground beef options.

Ground chuck, I feel, is the best option. It is from the shoulder area of the cow and has a much better balance of meat and fat, as well as more richness of beef flavour than any other option.

At around 20 per cent, it has more fat than lean ground beef, but it is important to remember that when it comes to your palate, not your waistline, fat is your friend as it offers more flavour and juiciness. Because of its meaty flavour, ground chuck is also a popular choice for meatballs.

ON COOKING

from Hamburg, Germany; where people often had what was called a “Hamburg Steak.” It consisted of shredded beef mixed with onions and different spices. Many people today will rely on the burger toppings, rather than the patty itself, to create a flavourful burger. I myself like to focus on the patty first and then accentuate with toppings. It is much easier to complement something if it already tastes good on its own.

Let’s start with the selection of meats to use.

There are many burgers made with ingredients other than beef, such as chicken, turkey, salmon and even veggie burgers, but I will stick to the traditional focus of beef for the purpose of this column.

Instead of settling for simple ground beef at your supermarket, head off to your local butcher instead.

There you will find a number of choices such as ground sirloin and ground

Women in Business There are now 800,000 women business owners in Canada and the number of women-owned businesses is growing 60 per cent – faster than those run by men. And, there’s no better example of this trend than in the city of New Westminster.

Women have discovered that taking charge of their economic destiny makes sense for a lot of reasons.

The rewards are many – from independence to flexibility – and, of course, the satisfaction gained from building something you can

Many of the women featured in these pages have chosen enterprises or vocations based on personal passions.

Others have found a ‘second career’ that turned into a full-time venture. Still others have turned public service into a full-time endeavour.

But, in New Westminster, they all share one common denominator: They are part of a community that values hard work, making connections and value. www.royalcityrecord.com

Inn at Westminster Quay The Inn at the Quay is known for its unique location, guaranteed water views, and little extras guest won’t find at the big box hotel chains. One thing people don’t know is that the management team is all women. “It’s an interesting dynamic working with all women,” says Lana Berar, Director for Sales and Catering for the Inn at the Quay. “Each of us brings to the table a different set of abilities and qualifications that strengthen the team.We have a perfect symmetry that allows us to be great at what we do.”

She went on to say that their team is very good at going the extra mile; they pride themselves on surprising their guests and leave them wanting more. “From our complimentary wine nights to our welcome card from Kathy our General Manager everything we do is done with purpose.” The result is guests who talk about their experience at the Inn at the Quay long after they have left. Lana is proud to say “this year the Inn at the Quay received a 2012 Certificate of Excellence from Trip Advisor for travelers consistently commending our property with the highest praise.”

“Our industry is highly competitive where it is not all about price but the overall experience.

To provide a one of a kind stay you need to be flexible and think outside the box, our team is very good at achieving this. Every guest who stays in a hotel has certain expectations; it’s the extra touches that keep them coming back. Our guests stay with us because we continually surprise them, they are wowed by the things we do differently, like our cheeky ‘Scram’ do not disturb sign, and racy packages,” says Lana. “We would not get this type of reaction from our guests without the team constantly coming up with creative ways of turning the expected into the unexpected. I am very lucky to work with this unique group of women and appreciate the individuality they bring to the table that allows us to be #1.”

The Inn at the Quay is located at 900 Quayside Drive, New Westminster.

Maria Green

Denture Clinic in New Westminster Maria Green comes with a wealth of experience as a registered denturist, as president of the Denturist Association of B.C. and as an executive on the Denturist Association of Canada.

Her clinic has been in New Westminster for almost 15 years, producing full and partial dentures, dentures on implants, immediate dentures, precision dentures, denture repairs, and relining.

Many people are under the impression that dentures have a 20-year life span - not so, says Maria. Dentures typically last five years.

To prevent problems, Maria suggests you book a yearly consultation to have your dentures checked to make sure of optimum dental health.

Signs to watch out for include: they are in your pocket, they are loose and not cutting food well, they are starting to make your face appear old and your mouth appears to be dropping, you are experiencing painful gums and sores.

Maria will ensure that if your dentures need replacing that your new ones will conform to the changes that your face has gone through over time.

Your best guarantee, besides regular checkups, is to avoid smoking, grinding your teeth, and ensure your general health and oral hygiene are good.

The Maria Green Denture Clinic welcomes new patients and offers complimentary consultations. Maria and her staff look forward to your call or feel free to drop by to book your appointment.

They are located uptown at 624 Sixth St., Suite 203, just across the street from the Legion and beside the Waffle House. Visit them online at www.mariagreendentureclinic.com or phone 604-521-6424.

READERS’ CHOICE Awards

Plants need care

2012

WIN a $750 SHOPPING SPREE at

Question: Since I’m in Vancouver, some of the annuals in my containers sprout again the following year.

I also have perennial plants and bulbs in some of these containers.

How do I deal with these in regards to putting fresh soil in the pots? Is it necessary?

Or can I simply continue to give them liquid fertilizer?

Michelle, Vancouver Answer: With shrubs, trees, perennials and anything that stays in a container for long periods, topdressing in spring is the best practice.

That is, you remove the top inch or two of soil and replace it with something quite rich like compost, or potting soil mixed with a little fertilizer.

With your annual/ perennial containers, you would then go on to feed liquid fertilizer through the summer in the usual way.

But container trees and shrubs usually outgrow their pot after a few years and need a totally fresh change of soil and a bigger pot.

This can sometimes be postponed for a few extra years by doing extensive pruning of the top growth.

But eventually a soil change is necessary.

If no bigger pot is available, root-pruning, and top-pruning are needed so that the trees and shrubs can fit into the old pot along with the fresh soil.

With annual/perennial containers it’s also best to repot in all-fresh soil every few years because perennials and even returning annuals ultimately fill all the available soil with roots.

At that point, they’ll need extra space or division.

Great Gift Ideas for Graduates

There are many reasons to celebrate the accomplishments of graduates -- and just as many gifts to buy to commemorate these special events.

As technology continues to advance at a rapid pace, a graduate’s gadgets may no longer be current or trendy. Techy gifts may be much appreciated.

A laptop or tablet computer can help keep track of resumes and calendar appointments. It can also be loaded with software that can help graduates brush up on computer skills needed for the workplace.

Leather messenger bags or valises are essential to on-the-go professionals.

Tropical locales are very popular vacation spots, and are often replete with underwater scenery to capture. Think about a combination swim

mask and underwater digital camera and video camera. This way the grad can explore and capture memories at the same time.

Consider tickets for a plane or train ride to a desired locale.

Personalized luggage for all of those destinations he or she is bound to visit.

These suggested gifts may be perfect for many graduates on a gift list.

Another gift that is always works is money. Whether provided as cash or check, or as a gift card to a favorite store, money is something every graduate can use -- especially when student loan repayment is set to begin.

After spending 12 or more years attending school, graduation can be a momentous event for students who are about to enter the “real world.” A graduation party gives students a chance to celebrate the friendships they’ve made, the memories of the last several years and the opportunities to come.

The choices for graduation parties are virtually endless. One significant consideration is the date of the party. If you want your party to take place on your actual graduation date, then expect to be competing with other students -- some of whom may be your close friends.

Unless you want few guests or you prefer to spend

Congrats Grads!

– Now It’s Time To Party! the entire day hopping from one party to another, it’s best to come up with a date that will be yours and yours alone. Therefore, select a date that is one or two weeks after the big day so more friends will be able to attend.

When it comes to planning the party itself, there are many ways to set your event apart from others. Make it a red-carpet event. Think like Hollywood movie premieres and set up a red carpet in your yard or at the party venue, complete with a backdrop of photos, school logos, mascot pictures, and anything else that represents your school.

As guests arrive, have them walk the red carpet while others snap photos of them for later use in scrapbooks.

Recreate a movie-inspired graduation scene. Think about those classic teen movies that you love, and borrow ideas for your party theme from them. For example, if the carnival graduation party scene from “Grease” is your all-time favorite, plan a carnival-themed graduation party.

Plan activities all guests will enjoy. If the party will include a mix of family and friends, select games that

New Mazda CX-9 is practical and ‘zoomy’

BY DAVID CHAO AND BOB MCHUGH CONTRIBUTORS editorial@royalcityrecord.com

M

azda proved that a functional utility vehicle can still have aero style and a sporty spirit, when it created the CX-9. On the outside it has an athletic, wind-cheating, go-faster design, yet clever use of space on the inside makes it a practical people mover.

The CX-9 is the biggest and most expensive Mazda you can buy in Canada.

A mid-sized utility vehicle, the CX-9 has seats for up to seven people, and the lavishly equipped high-end versions also give Mazda a foothold in the luxury vehicle market.

The 2012 edition basically returns unchanged from last year, and it’s offered in two trim levels: GS and GT. Apart from a base front-drive GS edition, all other versions of the Mazda CX-9 come with all-wheel drive.

Power comes from a robust 3.7-litre, 24-valve V6 engine, which can deliver 273 horsepower at 6250 r.p.m. and 270 lb.-ft. of torque at 4250 r.p.m. That’s an upgrade in size and power compared to the 3.5-litre V6 in the original CX-9, and the newer engine also provides better fuel economy.

A six-speed automatic with a manualshift mode feature is the only transmission offered, and it’s mated with the Active Torque-Split all-wheel drive system.

During normal dry road driving, this system sends 100 per cent of engine

torque to the front wheels to provide best fuel economy. An electronically controlled centre coupling can divert up to 50 per cent to the rear wheels depending on road conditions and other factors.

Standard features of note include a three-zone climate control system, remote keyless entry, rain sensing windshield wipers, a tilt and telescopic steering wheel, an eight-way power adjustable driver’s seat, anti-lock brakes, stability control and roll stability control.

Moving up to GT adds 20-inch aluminium wheels (18-inch standard) and tires, Xenon (HID) headlights, fog lights, side turn signals on the outside mirrors, interior wood grain finish, power-adjustable passenger seat, leather upholstery with heated front seats and driver’s seat position memory function.

The GS trim can be upgraded with a Luxury package ($2,395) that includes a power moonroof and leather upholstery.

A Navigation package ($2,675) with a power liftgate is available on the GT edition, and you can also add a rear DVD entertainment system ($1,520).

The Look

A steeply raked windshield, high belt line and teardrop shape make CX-9 one of the sportiest looking wagons around. Big 18-inch wheels look good, but the 20-inchers on the GT really look sharp.

The CX-9 and smaller CX-7 follow a similar sporty styling theme and can be difficult to distinguish, unless you see them side by side. Longer, taller, wider,

Photo contributed/THE RECORD

Hot wheels: Mazda’s CX-9 is a functional utility vehicle with a sporty spirit. It’s also the biggest, most expensive Mazda you can buy. the CX-9 is based on a different mid-sized chassis.

The Inside

Overall Mazda has done an excellent job on the interior. Opting for the GT version gets you into wood and leather and heated front seats with power adjustments. Also included is an indirect lighting package that adds that luxury-class

final touch.

The CX-9’s extra long wheelbase allows good second-row seat legroom.

This seat also slides on a track system and moves easily.

The ride can be a little bumpy when you’re in the last row, but it’s still handy to have and more comfortable than expected. ◗Mazda Page 31

Safety

SUMMER MAINTENANCE PACKAGE

• Oil, Lube & Filter

• Tires

• Brakes

• Cooling System

Change the oil, install a new oil filter and lubricate the chassis

Third-row seats were incorporated in the original CX-9 design plans, so it enjoys some inherent safety benefits.

Side curtain air bags extend all the way back, and they are also an integral part of its roll-protection system. The CX-9 also comes with Dynamic Stability Control, anti-lock brakes and traction control.

Rotate all tires, check tread depth, & adjust tire pressure

Check front and rear brake systems

Inside look: The Mazda CX-9 has side curtain air bags, anti-lock brakes and traction control.

The Drive

The driving position in the CX-9 is car-like and a treat, super comfortable with easy-to-use controls and lots of seat adjustments.

A stout steering wheel, with height and telescopic adjustments, is another confidence-builder for the driver, and it provides a nice, positive centering action on the highway.

The 3.7-litre V6 is smooth running and an exceptionally quiet engine.

Acceleration is brisk considering its size and weigh, and it can go from 0 to 100 km/h in about eight seconds.

That’s faster than most in the utility sector, however, its city driven fuel consumption is on the high side.

The six-speed automatic has a gated lever action with a manual shift mode.

Opposite to convention, up-shifts are a rearward movement of the shift lever and down-shifts are forward. While different,

it’s in sync with body movement when accelerating or slowing down.

The rear-view camera in my test CX-9 came in handy, as rear vision in vehicles like this can be an issue.

Overall the CX-9 is an impressive performer that delivers on a car-like

driving experience. It’s a driver-oriented vehicle with room for the family and their friends.

The Score

The Mazda CX-9 is a good looking, cleverly conceived and a well-executed multi-use vehicle with style, room and zoom.

A big mentor with a bigger message

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Cody Husband is both learning and teaching as he continues along his professional football career.

Nicknamed the “Big Whisperer” in his high school days at New Westminster Secondary, the 6-7, 307-pound lineman is hoping to win a starting spot on the O-line with the Hamilton Tiger Cats this season.

He’s also giving his voice to encourage younger players to stay involved in the game.

Husband, an undrafted free agent of the Tabbies, spent most of last season on injured reserve after playing out a fifth and final year at the University of British Columbia in 2010.

But his career to the gridiron was not scripted that way.

He was recruited by high school coach Farhan Lalji to the varsity team and made good, earning the Hyacks’ top lineman award in 2005, after being named a 3A conference and provincial all-star.

Husband parlayed that success into a football scholarship at UBC, but didn’t learn until his third year with the T-Birds that the pro game was an option.

“I never really expected much,” Husband said of his gridiron career after university. “I just kind of played the game and then realized I had a chance to play the (pro) game.”

Prior to going off to the Tiger Cats team camp last week, Husband worked out with the high school Hyacks at their spring training sessions, sending the high school students

Tom Berridge/THE RECORD

Hittin’ the bags: Hamilton Ti-Cats lineman Cody Husband, right, shows Grade 9 New Westminster Hyacks Harper Sherman the correct way to hit the blocking sled during recent Spring training at Mercer Stadium. the message that there are rewards for their commitment and hard work.

“I just want to tell the young kids, the sky’s the limit. They could earn five years in a quality program and proper training,” said Husband. “If they put the work into it, they can get the education paid for and move to the CFL or the NFL.” Two years ago, Hamilton invited Husband to its training camp, and the New West resident impressed enough to earn a spot on the practice ros-

ter. He declined and put in a fifth year at university instead.

But this year, the 24year-oldHusbandreturned and is hungry for a starting spot.

“I learned a lot from those (veteran) guys, and this year I’m ready to go in and challenge for a starting spot,” he said. “This season, I want to just go in and fight for a starting position and just get on the field. I want to be on that main roster and just do well.”

Grade 9 Hyack lineman

Harper Sherman is eager to follow in Husband’s footsteps.

“I think it’s great. You kind of grow up seeing these guys going to university, and it doesn’t really hit you that you could also get to that,” said the 64, 260-lb. lineman. “I think to me, I have to have the mindset that I can make it.

If I don’t think I can make it, I might not really work hard.”

That motivated the 15year-old Sherman to join Husband for extra personal workouts at the Canada

Games Pool.

“I went from pushing very little weight to getting pretty high in the numbers,” Sherman said, adding he is up to bench pressing 255 lbs. and squatting more than 315 lbs.

It’s that commitment to the weight room that has high school coaches talking and won him a scholarship to the Football University combine at Vancouver College last month.

There, Sherman held his own against the senior ◗Football Page 34

Youth ready to step into larger shoes

St. Thomas More Collegiate appears to be in it for the long haul.

The Burnaby independent school scored three first-place medals and a pair of bronze in the under-15 portion of the 46th annual B.C. high school track and field meet at Swangard Stadium on Saturday.

The school’s latest up-andcomer, Zion Corales Nelson, won both the girls’ 100- and 200metre finals. Corales Nelson also anchored the STM Grade 8 and 9 girls’ 4x100m relay team of Guilia Repole, Annie Selormey and Isabel

Chavez to a bronze medal, and the 4x400m team to sixth place.

The track success of the firstyear Burnaby sprinter suggests that good times are ahead for the STM girls’ track team.

Corrales Nelson’s time in the 100m would have placed her sixth overall in the high school senior final, while her 200m time of 25.98 was less than two-one-hundreths of a second off a podium time.

“I just wanted to run Grade 8 to see how I would do, to just see where I’m at,” said Corrales Nelson.

But the truth of the matter was the Grade 8 sprinter was in a cast with a suspected broken bone in her foot the Monday prior to the

weekend meet, said STM head track coach Dave Mattiazzo. “She was something else.”

The STM boys’ relay teams also showed a lot of future promise.

The junior 1,600m team of Massimo Pozzolo, Danyel Fadi, Shane Noel and anchor J.J. Deslauriers shaved approximately 10 seconds off its seed time to win the Grade 8 and 9 boys’ relay final.

The same four boys teamed up for a bronze in the 400m relay final.

“They are pretty outstanding,” Mattiazzo added.

Pozzolo finished fourth in the boys’ 200m and eighth in the 100m sprint, while Deslauriers was sev-

enth in the long jump.

In the middle distance, Joshua Juni ran at three distances, placing sixth in the 3,000m, and eighth and 10th, respectively, in the 800 and 1,500m.

Samantha Landolt was fourth and Jenima Alphonso placed ninth in the girls’ shot put. Taylor McIntosh was 10th in the girls’ 3,000m.

Another young athlete to watch is Sofia Stevenson of Burnaby.

The Burnaby Central middle distance runner was second in the metric mile and third in the 800m, despite easily winning her timed heat by a margin of more than 50 metres over the next closest competitor.

New West kids picked for B.C. box teams New Westminster was well represented on boys’ and girls’ provincial box lacrosse teams.

Naoll Degife of New Westminster was named to the bantam boys’ team for the Commissioners national championships to be held in Whitby, Ont. in August.

Tavin Grant and Lucas Greene of Burnaby were also selected alongside Degife.

Four New Westminster players, Cole Catton, John Edin, Harjot Mahal and Finn Stark, all made it on the provincial peewee boys’ roster for the national festival, which runs in conjunction with the bantam competition.

The boys’ nationals will run from Aug. 4 through 12.

Ontario has dominated the bantam boys’ national championships for the past four years, winning the Canadian box title at the annual Ontario Lacrosse Festival held at Iroquois Park in Whitby.

A B.C. team won a national peewee boys’ title in 2008.

On the girls’ side, Royal City girls completely dominated the bantam lineup, placing eight of the 19 players on the provincial squad.

Bianca Ballarin, Katie Browning, Nicole Del Grosso, Monica Disanjh, Chole Nottingham, Madisen Obrovac, Keeley O’Neill and Nadine Stewart were named to the team from New Westminster that will compete at the national female championships to be held in Victoria from July 29 to Aug. 2.

Carlene Spagnuolo of Burnaby also earned a spot on the bantam girls’ squad.

New Westminster girls Jenna Chernoff, Courtney Kearnes and Nicole Shanks were named to spots on the midget girls’ team.

Amber Gilmore, Amie Morrison, Jolene Robinson and Kaitlyn Yan of Burnaby also made the roster of the B.C. Lacrosse midget girls’ team.

◗ JV FOOTBALL

Hyacks juniors look sharp in grid spring The New Westminster Hyacks junior varsity football team showed promise for the upcoming fall season with a good showing in the final scrimmages at spring training last week.

The JVs held their own against last season’s AA provincial finalist Mission and Holy Cross at an exhibition jamboree at Burnaby Lake last Friday.

Quarterback Jamie Shiho threw for three touchdowns and ran for two more, while Grade 10 pivot Mackenzie Ratcliffe also rushed for a score for the JV Hyacks.

Mark Massicotte had one score and two receptions, while last season’s

defensive MVP Jeff Lugtu had nine tackles at linebacker, while scoring one TD on a run and a second on a pass from his fullback position on offence.

Linemen Jonathan Tomalty and James Cunningham also had strong games. Receiver Wayne Palmer had a touchdown reception.

Grade 9 lineman Harper Sherman will join the Hyacks’ varsity team on a visit to Blaine, Washington for a spring scrimmage.

While in the U.S., Sherman will also take part at a University of Oregon combine on the following Saturday and Sunday.

The series will give the Canadian team a chance to experience the venue in Guadalajara, where the junior Pan Ams will be played in three months time.

class, earning recognition as the most outstanding lineman.

“I really think it’s a great opportunity. (Coach) Farhan has set up this program from practically nothing. It’s unbelievable to improve your skills and to get to the next level,” Sherman added.

Husband hopes the motivation he and others pass along will give tomorrow’s prospects like Sherman, the fuel to reach their goals.

“If I had the motivation back then, I might have had a shot at playing NCAA. But that’s something I will never know,” Husband said. “I want to teach them to have a good work ethic. A bit of what they do on the field transfers back to the gym, to work and to life.

“A lot of it is just teachiing them how to go about things, and if they’re having problems in other places, we’ll help them with that, so they don’t struggle.

If the kids want to do the extra work, I’m fine with that. It’s all for the kids.”

This Friday, the Hyacks’ varsity team will be in Blaine, Washington for an exhibition scrimmage.

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.

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.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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
