Monday will mark thesecond anniversary of thedeath of four-year-old AlexaMiddelaer and her familycontinues its quest to ensureit was not in vain.

Saturday, May 17, 2008was a perfect day. Alexahad spent the day swim-ming in the family’s pooland surrounded by her par-ents, her brother and otherfamily members under abrilliant blue sky. It wascapped off by a trip to feedthe horses in a pasturedown the street.

It was then the day took atragic turn.

Alexa was feeding thehorses along 64th Streetwith her aunt, DaphneMiddelaer, as her grandpar-ents watched from a nearbycar when another vehiclelost control, striking theparked car before careen-ing off the road and hittingAlexa and her aunt.

Alexa’s injuries werefatal. She was airliftedto Children’s Hospitalin Vancouver where shebecame an organ donor, herorgans given to three sickchildren across Canada.Daphne Middelaer was air-lifted to hospital with seri-ous injuries.

A Delta woman, CarolBerner, has been chargedwith impaired driving caus-ing death, impaired driv-ing causing bodily harm,dangerous driving causingdeath and dangerous drivingcausing bodily harm.

The Middelaers refusedto let the grief and sor-row overtake their livesand made a choice to takeaction.

“As a family, we havemade a deliberate and con-scious choice to look ahead,and be inspired by ourchild,” the family said in astatement released in thedays following the crash.

Since then, Laurel andMichael Middelaer haveworked to change what theysee as a flawed system.

They have shared theirstory on numerous occa-sions.

In 2009, the Middelaers

teamed up with the BCAATraffic Safety Foundationand established Alexa’sTeam, which honours policeofficers for their diligencein removing impaired driv-ers from the roads. Sincethen, 200 officers from theLower Mainland and acrossB.C. have joined Alexa’sTeam.

The foundation alsostarted the Alexa MiddelaerMemorial Fund. All con-tributions are used toremind ordinary BritishColumbians that impaireddriving isn’t worth the risk.

The family has alsoworked tirelessly to notonly bring awareness tothe issue of impaired driv-ing but to also amend theprovince’s drunk-drivinglegislation.

Last month, B.C.Solicitor General Mike deJong announced changesto the province’s impaireddriving laws that will makethem the stiffest in thecountry.

Under the proposedchanges, drivers who have ablood alcohol level of morethan 0.08, or those whorefuse to provide a roadsidebreath sample, will face animmediate, 90-day drivingban and a $500 fine. As

well, the offender’s vehiclewill be impounded for 30days and they could facecriminal charges.

Drivers caught in the“warn” range — a blood

alcohol level between 0.05and 0.08 per cent — willface an immediate three-daydriving ban and a $200 finefor the first offence. Gettingcaught a second time in the“warn” range will garner aseven-day ban and a $300

fine; and a third will meana 30-day ban and a $400fine.

The changes will go intoeffect this fall.

At the same time, in

memory of Middelaer, deJong announced a newprovincial goal: to reducealcohol-impaired drivingfatalities by 35 per cent bythe end of 2013.

“This is an excellentfirst step and it will reallyarm police with the toolsthat they need to createan incredible deterrence,”Laurel said after theannouncement.

“It’s a small step, but Ithink it is really impressivethat this government is tar-geting it.”

Yesterday, the Middelaersmade another step in giv-ing police officers the toolsto take and keep impaireddrivers off B.C. roads.

At Morgan Creek GolfClub in South Surrey,Alexa’s family and friendshosted a meeting to unveilplans for “Alexa’s Bus,” avehicle that would be dedi-cated to gathering evidenceat crash sites where alcoholis believed to have been afactor.

The unit would employspecially trained officers.

“It’s very difficult work,”said Steve Barrett, an orga-nizer of the event. “In B.C.,we have no specializedvehicle (and) officers tobe equipped to investigatethose accident scenes.”

Such mobile labs existin parts of the U.S., Barrettsaid.

Yesterday’s event wasdesigned to raise awarenessand money to help get theidea off the ground.

All this while the crimi-nal trial looms in the nearfuture.

Last year, Berner, whohas yet to attend a courtdate in person, admittedthrough her lawyer that shewas driving the car at thetime of the crash but haspleaded not guilty to thespecific charges.

The trial is scheduledto begin May 31 in SurreyProvincial Court and isexpected to take fourweeks.

Daughter’s death not in vainTwo years after losing their four-year-old, the Middelaers continue their efforts to make our roads safer

Metro Vancouver wantsto know what you thinkabout how the region man-ages its waste.

May 15, 2010 The Delta Optimist A03

Delta is planning bigchanges for the LadnerLeisure Centre.

Civic politiciansapproved this month what’sbeen called an aquaticsamenities plan by the parksand recreation depart-ment that will result in theremoval of the aging water-slide.

Department directorKen Kuntz said they beganlooking at the future of thefacility last year and deter-mined the slide tower is notan ideal use due to its lowenergy efficiency.

“I think, from an energypoint of view, we’ve alsostudied that buildingenough to know that, infact, the slide tower is not avery green-friendly featurein that it acts as a big cool-ing tower for our hot waterthat goes through the sys-tem,” he said.

Also, new age restric-tions have limited its use,said Kuntz.

The Ladner LeisureCentre consists of anarena and aquatic facili-ties, including a 2,800

square-foot weight room,fitness studio, multi-pur-pose rooms, sauna, swirl,the waterslide and anaquatic climbing wall. TheVancouver Giants TrainingCentre is attached to thebuilding.

A new long-term planhas been developed that

includes features that couldbe added in about fiveyears. The first phase wouldsee the slide tower replacedby a rain shower feature andconverting the drop zonepool to a therapy spa.

The cost of that projectwould be around $350,000,according to a report to

council.The next phase, which

would develop over 10years, would see the expan-sion of the therapy spa area,the development of what’scalled an interior warmroom and an exterior sundeck space. The warm roomwould have a fireplace,

lounge and direct accessto the south facing outsidedeck. That phase has anestimated $400,000 pricetag.

The final phase involvescompletely eliminating theslide tower structure andexpanding the building’sfootprint to accommodate a

new multi-use gym, steamroom, expanded lounge andexterior sundeck, and otherchanges.

The final phase, whichdoesn’t have a price tag yet,also involves consolidationof all aquatics activities inLadner into one locationwhen the existing outdoorpool is up for replacement.

“It really paints a pictureof some alternative solu-tions we can put in placein terms of aquatic ameni-ties in the Ladner LeisureCentre,” said Kuntz.

“In Europe, many of theaquatic facilities are nowgoing to a multi-age fam-ily event where you havefireplaces and other kindsof experiences right at yourpool.”

He said public inputwould be sought prior tofinalizing a detailed designplan.

Kuntz said there are nofixed timelines for the shortor longer term plans.

Built in the early 1990s,the Ladner Leisure Centrehad a price tag of $6.3 mil-lion.

The expenditure wasapproved by residents in a1989 referendum.

Leisure centre improvements plannedSlide on borrowed time, but plenty of features, including therapy spa and lounge, are on drawing board

South Delta Sun Devils’ Emma Mackie and Delta Pacers’ Emily Grant battled for position for the incoming ball during

Monday’s senior girls high school soccer game at Holly Park in Ladner. The Sun Devils edged their cross-town rivals

1-0 to improve to 4-1 on the season.

Academy notelementaryA rumour that a hockey acad-

emy at English Bluff Elementaryis a done deal is false, says Deltaschool board chair Dale Saip.

Making the rounds the lastfew days is word that a hockeyacademy will start this fall at theTsawwassen elementary school.Delta has several fee-paying acad-emies at the high school level andmore coming this fall, but so farnone for the younger grades.

Saying he’s disappointed some-one has been spreading a story theboard has already made a deci-sion to start a fee-paying sportsacademy at the elementary school,

A 67-year-old Tsawwassen

man, who has worked in the B.C.

gaming industry more than 20

years, never expected to hit the

jackpot himself.Naturally, Brian Egli couldn’t

believe his own luck when a Lotto

6/49 ticket he purchased at the

Tsawwassen Lottery Centre on

56th Street matched all six win-

ning numbers to earn $4.3 mil-

lion.He received his cheque

last Friday at B.C. Lottery

Corporation offices in Richmond.

“After checking my numbers

I told my wife, Bea, that we

had won the big one,” said Egli.

“Her response was, ‘Sure we did

Brian.’”It may have taken a minute to

sink in, but the Eglis are already

making plans for the future.

“I think it may be time to

retire,” said Brian, who after a

24-year career with the RCMP

has worked 20 years in the gam-

ing industry, including 13 years

as an executive vice-president

with Great Canadian Gaming

Corporation.“I’ll be meeting with my execu-

tive very soon to discuss options,”

he said.Egli’s position in the B.C.

gaming industry meant he had

to wait a few extra days for his

prize claim to be approved as B.C.

Lottery Corporation investigators

add an additional layer of scrutiny

in the prize claim process in such

instances.With the win finally approved,

the elated couple can now proceed

with plans to share their winnings

with family, buy a new car and

take a trip to Las Vegas.

Egli’s win is the first major

B.C. jackpot this month. It fol-

lows a record setting month for

the lottery corporation in March

in which 4,100 prize winners took

home a record total of nearly $53

million.

Time-out called on Southlands

Delta sends controversial proposal back to Century Group while it waits for regional plan to be completed

The development proposal for

the Southlands has been tossed

back to the Century Group and

won’t be considered by Delta for

the time being.That was the decision made by

Delta council Monday after civic

politicians agreed with a staff rec-

ommendation to send the proposal

back and refund any application

fees.The reason behind the move is

the 538-acre Tsawwassen prop-

erty is currently within Metro

Vancouver’s Green Zone and

the regional district is still in the

process of updating its Livable

Region Plan.CAO George Harvie said it

appears a new regional plan likely

wouldn’t come into effect until

2011.“Things can change what Metro

Vancouver finally and ultimately

decides, but having these applica-

tions sitting there builds up expec-

tations from the community that

we are actually working on these

and this is something we can’t do.

We can’t do anything until Metro

Vancouver is finished the job,”

Harvie told councilMayor Lois Jackson, who

chairs Metro’s board of directors,

agreed, saying municipalities have

to abide by the regional growth

strategy and it’s not clear what the

new criteria will be for the district

to consider amendments to the

new plan.A staff report notes there is a

proposal in the new growth strat-

egy to allow municipalities to

forward applications to the Metro

board at any stage of their plan-

ning process, provided sufficient

information is available for the

board to make a decision.

The Century Group hopes to

build 1,900 high density hous-

ing units on one-third of the

Southlands using the concepts of

new urbanism, while dedicating

42 per cent to urban agriculture.

The agricultural land would be

given to the municipality.

Century president Sean

Hodgins submitted an Official

Community Plan amendment

application last year but that was

put on hold by Delta until the

Tsawwassen Area Plan Committee

completed its review.Hodgins told the Optimist

he’s disappointed the application

has been sent back, but it’s not a

major setback because the munici-

pality hasn’t been dealing with it

anyway.“I think part of it is that they’re

Tsawwassen’s major intersec-

tions are still seeing traffic vol-

umes well under capacity during

peak hours, but that doesn’t auto-

matically mean more residents

can be added.That was the message for the

Tsawwassen Area Plan Committee

from a consultant hired by Delta

to conduct a transportation study.

At the committee’s meeting

last week at municipal hall, Dave

Turner of Halcrow Engineering

provided an update on the study

that will be completed by the end

of next month.Noting it will examine impacts

of potential development sce-

narios, including the Tsawwassen

First Nation and Southlands, as

well as traffic pattern changes that

will result from the South Fraser

Perimeter Road, Turner said the

objective is to better understand

current and future problems and

to have recommendations on how

to deal with them.

Looking at current and pro-

jected travel movements in and

out of Tsawwassen, the study

found there’s a significant imbal-

ance in that a large percentage of

residents are employed outside the

community. The population is also

aging and many of those motorists

will be retired, Turner said, noting

40 per cent of the population will

be over 65 by 2031.

As far as the current traffic pat-

terns at the major junctions, most

are under capacity by 20 to 30 per

cent during the peak morning and

afternoon rush hours.

“The junctions are operating

properly at the moment and as

we follow through on the study

we’ll come to the conclusions

what level of development can be

accepted,” he told the Optimist

following the meeting.

The busiest junction, according

to the findings, is the intersection

of Highway 17 and 56th Street

at 72 per cent capacity. Among

the other busier junctions are

56th Street at 16th Avenue (69

per cent) and 56th Street at 12th

Avenue (59 per cent).

Turner said it’s not recommend-

ed to allow intersections to reach

90 per cent capacity or higher.

He said only seven per cent of

Tsawwassen residen

while 93 per cent use

during peak periods.

In just a few seconds, George

McKay can tell if a truck has

brake problems, under inflated

tires or if a ball bearing is loose.

It’s day two of the Delta police

department’s annual commercial

vehicle inspection blitz, a three-

day event that aims to inspect

as many commercial vehicles as

possible.McKay is the first line of

defence in helping identify trucks

that might not be roadworthy.

As he sits in a white van, he

uses a thermal imaging camera

that is able to quickly scan each

truck as it pulls off Highway 91,

just north of Highway 10, and into

the pull out. Every commercial

vehicle is required to stop, driv-

ing past McKay and then waiting

inspectors, who are keeping an

eye out for trucks that might need

a closer look.As a truck drives slowly by,

McKay, a former truck driver and

pilot, points out that each wheel is

glowing white. That truck’s brakes

are in good working order, he

said, because the brakes are pro-

ducing heat.A few minutes later, a truck

catches McKay’s attention when

one of the wheels shows black on

his screen. He radios ahead to one

of the inspectors to make sure it

gets pulled over.“It’s a very simple way to scan

big volume without much effort,”

McKay said.For the annual three-day blitz,

which established inspection

points at various locations around

the community this week, Delta

brings together several partners to

help out, including the Vancouver

and New Westminster police

departments, RCMP, the Ministry

of Transportation, the Integrated

Road Safety Unit and Surrey

bylaw officers. In all, the team

was made up of 105 inspectors.

“Our focus is primarily on

dump and container trucks and

trades vehicles,” said A/Sgt. Kevin

Jones. The inspectors look at a num-

ber of different aspects of the

truck, from mechanical defects to

making sure the load is within the

weight restrictions and the driver’s

SeaPoliceto scour

It took longer than anticipated

but the Delta police department

finally has an emergency com-

mand vehicle in its fleet.

Mayor Lois Jackson was at

police headquarters in Ladner

Wednesday with members of the

department, the police board and

Delta Police Foundation to unveil

the 32-foot, multi-use mobile

emergency centre.

Equipped with a plethora of

features, including 16 worksta-

tions, each wired for data and

voice, the trailer pulled by a Ford

F650 truck cost over $400,000,

with roughly 70 per cent paid by

the municipality.

“This command unit has been

looked to as a partial solution for

the Delta police for quite a num-

ber of years, but as you can appre-

ciate, the cost involved is quite

a hefty cost,” said Jackson, who

chairs the police board.

Jackson noted the unit will be

invaluable for police when hav-

ing to respond to emergencies or

investigations that may require

officers to be housed at one loca-

tion for an extended period.

Police chief JimCessford said

the unit could be thought of as a

mobile police station.

“We police an area of 360-

square kilometres here in Delta,

which is a huge geographic area.

We have large farm area, we have

a port, airport, and it’s really

important for us to have a mobile

police station that we can put in

place if we’re doing an investiga-

tion,” he said.Cessford said the command

vehicle could be used for other

functions, including community

events.Cessford said the unit is a great

example of his department and the

community working together.

Const. Sharlene Brooks said

the command vehicle wouldn’t be

a reality if it wasn’t for the hard

work and dedication of many,

including several big financial

donors.Saying it took a decade for the

MURPHY’SLAW

They’ve tried public meetings withdiscussion groups as well as public meet-ings with open mics. They’ve collectedwritten questionnaires. They’ve tried anonline questionnaire. And now they’vedecided on mail-out survey.

Given all this effort to solicit publicinput on the Tsawwassen Area Plan (readSouthlands), you would think it wouldbe hard to fault the good folks over atmunicipal hall. Well, it’s actually not thatdifficult.

Despite what I’m assuming are thebest of intentions, the undertaking to findout what Tsawwassen residents thinkabout the Southlands and other aspectsof their town has lurched from one con-troversy to the next. It’s got to the pointwhere even politicians are acknowledg-ing some members of the public have lostconfidence in the process.

People generally didn’t like the focusgroup format of the initial meetings, so Ihave to give Delta credit for listening andadding microphones for the final two.That might have been its best move thusfar.

Responses to the written questionnairefavoured keeping the Southlands statusquo, yet an interim document hinted atthe possibility of development, sendingopponents into a panic. If there wasn’talready enough unrest, the botchedonline survey, which changed or deletedanswers, got conspiracy theorists workingovertime to the point they filed com-plaints with the Delta police department.

The mail-out survey approved by Deltacouncil members this week will be con-ducted by a private company, so I assumethe results will be beyond reproach, butit’s raised a new issue: the necessity ofspending as much as $15,000 of taxpay-ers’ money on a survey when a questioncould be asked in the upcoming by-elec-tion for free.

To be fair, the survey will be more in-depth, but that doesn’t get around the factthe by-election to fill the council seat ofthe late George Hawksworth provides anopportunity to ask the public a questionor two at no additional cost.

Given the Century Group’s applicationfor the Southlands has been returned andcouncil has said it won’t deal with thematter until Metro Vancouver completesits planning exercise, timing is no longeran issue. A September by-election wouldseem to work, but those in charge aresteadfast in their decision not to use it togauge public sentiment on this most con-tentious of topics.

It’s funny how the method is goodenough to elect politicians, but somehowdoesn’t work when it comes to other mat-ters.

It’s been some time since I wroteabout Deltaport and the SouthFraser Perimeter Road (SFPR).In the past year the third berth atDeltaport has been completed andthe port now unloads up to threecontainer ships at any one time.The SFPR construction has com-menced. B.C. Rail has extended itsthird track under the Highway 17overpass and continues to acquireland beside the tracks for a futureexpanded rail yard, once describedas being 17 tracks wide.

Part of the deal for the portexpansion and as a temporary fixuntil the SFPR is completed, PortMetro Vancouver contributed some$3 million to improve Highway17 south and north of the LadnerTrunk Road intersection withextended truck lanes and a longernorthbound HOV lane. This was to

relieve congestion.You may not be convinced

the traffic situation has reallyimproved. Recently I counted19 southbound container trucksbetween highways 99 and 10 and22 trucks northbound between therail tracks and Highway 10.

What these numbers mean isthe right lane on Highway 17 isalmost solidly filled with containertrucks. Delta police have reportedthat a significant number of themare unsafe to be on the road. PortMetro Vancouver meanwhile seemsto take little, if any, action.

In Ontario, on the QueenElizabeth Way between Hamiltonand Toronto, the Ministry ofTransportation has placed trafficlights that limit the number of vehi-cles entering the congested high-way. Why not use that same devicefor trucks as they attempt to enterHighway 17 off Deltaport Way?

Even better, let B.C. Ferriesfurther limit trucks when a majorferry is unloading. We don’t needmillions of dollars for this fix, justa little ingenuity.

If you drive Highway 17 northfrom Tsawwassen, the work beingdone just before and after the rail-way tracks is a preview of your

new route to the tunnel via SFPR.There will be an arching overpassto take you over the railway tracks,head east to 72nd Street, then northto Highway 99, where you will usea new cloverleaf to merge and thenbacktrack to the tunnel.

Don’t like this and want to con-tinue to use the current route? Itmay be possible, but at reducedspeeds.

The latest update on SFPRcontinues to suggest completionby 2012. Close examination ofthe timeline might suggest later.Meanwhile, the Panama Canal’smajor expansion will be ready byearly 2014 and it will be able tohandle almost all ships currentlycalling at Deltaport.

If you are shipping goods des-tined for Chicago, New York orMontreal, would you use this WestCoast port and rail, or ship directlyto idle capacity on the East Coast?Much of Deltaport and SFPR mayonly be needed to the end of 2013.It’s a big gamble — using ourmoney.

Add the billion dollars forSFPR to the several billions beingspent at the port — and your greatgrandchildren’s education fundingis bound up in this deal!

Letters to the Editor

Editor:There is a perceived

conflict of interest withregard to some membersof Delta council votingto send the TsawwassenSprings application by RonToigo to a public hearing.

The application is for a10 per cent increase in thenumber of residential units,removing rental restric-tions, increasing the sizeof the casitas, removingplanned public spaces inthe apartment buildings,and modifying the trafficassumptions downwards atthe same time.

After a long and con-tentious process in 2008,it is amazing such a sub-

stantial increase is nowrecommended by chiefadministration officerGeorge Harvie. This alsodemonstrates the lengthyTsawwassen Area Planprocess is a farce.

The applicant obviouslywill market many unitsas investment/rental. Thedetails and effect of hisproposals need careful,unbiased examination. Yetit took about five minutesfor council to consider thismatter on Monday beforevoting it through bylawprocess to public hearing.Toigo was present andapplauded the decision.

Through his associatedfirms, Toigo contributed

at least $3,000 to fund theDelta Independent VotersAssociation at the last elec-tion. As he stands to gainfrom this decision, it issurely wrong for those oncouncil who have receivedthese financial contribu-tions from him — MayorLois Jackson and coun-cillors Robert Campbelland Scott Hamilton — topartake of any decisionthat can be perceived as aconflict of interest.

With all the publicitysurrounding the Kash Heedsituation bringing the prob-lem of influence peddlingto the fore, we do need bet-ter and cleaner processes.

Editor:I was recently sad-

dened to hear that DeltaToastmasters had shutdown.

Delta Toastmasters hadsurvived for nearly 30years. Starting in Novemberof 1980, the club has helpedmany people to gain confi-dence and structure in pub-lic speaking over the years,including myself.

There were many peoplein Delta that would havebeen happy if the clubfailed back in 1980. Someof the members were peoplewho wanted to voice theiropinion on things happen-ing in Delta and thoughtDelta Toastmasters wouldhelp them to get the mes-sage out. It did.

With the help of theDelta Optimist and com-munity TV, people came

forward to join. We had tohave 30 members to start,but seemed to stick at 29.One day I was talking witha customer and spoke of theclub starting up. There andthen she gave me the mem-bership money and said,“Sign me up.”

Prior to the inauguralmeeting she was transferredto North Vancouver andcouldn’t attend any of themeetings, so became knownas the “member who neverwas.”

Delta Toastmasters wasthe 4,000th club to open upas such we got the specialbanner.

The club banner isperhaps the most famousToastmasters banner, havingthe number 1924, which isthe year Toastmasters origi-nated. It came from a clubin Scotland that had closed

up. It was quite a coinci-dence that it was a coupleoriginally from Scotlandthat went to Santa Ana topick it up.

We had to have threementors to help start theclub, so Del O’Shaunessy,Ferdy Chen and HowardLam came from aRichmond club. Del andFerdy have passed on now,sad to say.

They all did a great jobtaking us through the stepsto get going. Del stayedwith the club all these yearsuntil she passed away justweeks after the club’s 25thanniversary.

I heard there was achance the club would startup again and I sincerelyhope it will.

Editor:Re: Woodworking meets

business at SDSS, May 8Congratulations to Doug

Kroeker and his Grade 9woodworking class on a jobwell done.

It is heartening to readstories like this for thelearning opportunities pro-vided and skills obtainedthat go beyond the ministryprescribed outcomes forthis course.

This project became aplatform for understandinghow to design and buildthe prototype to meet thecompany’s requirementsand then proceed to meetquality standards and pro-

duction deadlines throughcooperation, teamwork anddedication.

What is more compel-ling to me is that a localbusiness partnered with theschool to give this project

to the Grade 9s to showhow they can compete inthe marketplace.

In turn, the money real-ized from this venture willhelp fund other activitiesto promote the trades and

apprenticeship programs.What a wonderful formulafor a partnership.

Kudos to Rick Connorsfor “thinking outside of thebox.”

Y. Livingston

Now is a Good Time forYour Vehicle Check-up!

Well summer will be arriving soon so get your vehicle in shape now and undo the dmaage caused bywinter driving.

A qualified technician should check the tightness and condition of belts, clamps and hoses. Have engineperformance problems like hard starts, rough idling and stalling corrected. You’ll get better mileage andwill catch minor problems before they grow into expensive repairs later on. Change the oil and filter andreplace other filters (air, fuel, PVC, etc.)

Don’t neglect your transmission, costly repairs can be prevented by routine service. Check the level andthe cleanliness of your transmission fluid. Check your brakes.

Drive Green for good fuel economy. Avoid sudden starts and stops and go the speed limit. Jerky andaggressive driving decreases your mileage and increases wear and tear. Remember to get regular tuneups, maintenanceand having cleanfilters will helpyou burn less gas,pollute less, andprevent car trouble.

Many of your carcomponents wearout over time orget damagedby hazards. Visita repair shopfor the best carmaintenance.Remember to getregular tune ups,maintenance andhaving clean filterswill help you burnless gas, polluteless and preventcar trouble.

Editor:Three weeks ago the

Optimist asked the follow-ing Feedback question:“Would you sign the peti-tion to reject the HST?”

It is quite understandablethat over 80 per cent wouldsign up because the ques-tion was biased, incompleteand is designed to supportthe objectives of the charla-tans (unelected groups), ledby a vindictive and previ-ously scorned politician andan equally vindictive report-er leading the unsuspectingsheep, oops people, to theeconomic slaughterhouse.

A more complete andhonest question could havebeen drafted as follows:

“Would you sign the peti-tion to reject the HST; tosupport the reductions tosocial services (longer wait-ing lists for surgeries etc.);to increase our debt, withthe associated additionalcarrying costs; and forgothe millions of dollars sav-ings from the efficiencies ofthe tax collection process?”

Even if 80 per centrespondents still answeryes, the democraticallyelected government couldeither: repeal the HST,continue to cut socialprograms and incur moredebt (which appears to bethe most popular option,although not necessarily thebest or responsible choice

for the economic health ofall citizens) or override thepetition, explaining it waselected based on its plat-form of economic stability(unpopular but more intel-ligent choice).

All you anti-HST punditsmust be able to answer thisquestion: “What shouldthe provincial governmenthave done when the federalgovernment offered the dealafter the election?”

They could have shotthemselves in the footand refused the economicadvantage. Which one ofyou has the integrity toanswer that question, pub-licly?

Editor:Re: Foes join hands to

I like letters.I particularly appreciate

those like the one I receivedthis week from Ontario,Here’s what it contained:

“Here I am finally get-ting around to wishing youa Happy Birthday and totell you how much I enjoyreading your Rambling col-umns.

“Although I’ve been gonefrom Ladner quite sometime I still think of it ashome.

“My family lived onthe property bounded byLaidlaw, Trenant and Garrystreets, long since trans-formed into medium densi-ty housing. My dad, RussellEustis, had his shop on theeast side of Delta Streetbetween the then liquorstore and Ouvrey’s Garage.I remember well the hugefire at that garage and theconcern that many otherbuildings would go with it.

“It was Mary Evans(Ottewell), who now livesin Moose Jaw, who set meon to the web access for theDelta Optimist, and I’m soglad that she did. Maybethe powers that be couldarrange to have your col-umn more easily identifiedonline.

“I always enjoy yourRamblings and they neverfail to evoke lots of memo-ries. The bouquets for mywedding, 50 years ago nextmonth, came from Cooper’sFlorist, of course. The flow-ers for the church came outof all the gardens aroundtown. Those were the days!

“Catherine (Eustis)Yestadt, Georgetown, ON.”

***Here’s another one:“I enjoy the Optimist

since I grew up there andstill enjoy hearing what isgoing on in the community.I left in 1993. I especiallyenjoy the Rambling col-umns. Thank you again.Carol Frankum, NorthSaanich, B.C.”

***Limericker Ken Oakley

write about spring,Part of the year that’s a

beautiful thing,When the birds and the

bees,The flowers and trees,Wake up and all start to

In the Community

The community cameout in droves to support theannual Gwen’s Growing andGiving Plant Sale to benefitthe Delta Hospice Societyand a school and orphanagein Africa.

The sale opened at 9a.m. on Saturday, May 1to a long line of garden-ers waiting to get theirhands on some of theplants that were donatedby community membersas well as corporate spon-sors Sunnyside Nurseries,West Coast Seeds, PhoenixPerennials, RichmondCountry Farms and the BIAof Tsawwassen.

In total, 2,300 plantswere donated and saleproceeds exceeded previ-ous years, raising just over$3,000 to benefit bothcharities.

“I am very appreciativeof the support the com-munity has shown in ourefforts over the past years,particularly in my last year

hosting the garden saleat my home,” said GwenSzychter. “I look forwardto passing the torch ontothe hardworking group ofvolunteers that so kindlycontributed countless hoursto make this sale happen.”

“We were overwhelmedwith the response to thisyear’s sale,” said volunteer,Judy Matilda. “This was thebest year in the 16 years ofrunning the sale. I would

like to say thank you toeveryone in the communitythat came out to support thesale and to the 10 volun-teers that worked so hard.”

Delta Hospice executivedirector Nancy Macey saidthe support and awarenessgenerated by the plant salemeans a lot to the society.

“We still have a commit-ment to raise the remainingfunds that were needed tobuild the Harold & Veronica

Centre for SupportiveCare and Irene ThomasHospice and appreciateeverything that the com-munity can do to helpus.”

In 2007, the DeltaHospice Society under-took a capital campaignto raise $8.5 million tobuild Delta’s first in-patient hospice residenceand adjacent centre forsupportive care. To dateit has raised $7.6 mil-lion toward this project,which is now complete.There is still an urgent

need to raise the remaining$900,000.

Next Sunday, Christians celebratePentecost and remember the birth ofthe Christian church. Jesus’ disciples,thrown off their game by his death,came into their own. Filled by theHoly Spirit, they became the firstleaders of the church.

In preparation for a course I havebeen reading Effective ChristianLeaders in a Global Workspaceby Peter Shaw, who identifies sixaspects of Jesus’ leadership style.

One grabbed my attention. Jesushe says was a coach. God led Jesusto gather a unique and diverse groupof people who had little in commonwith each other. Jesus knew you playthe game with the team God givesyou, not the one you wish you had.

For three years he taught them.He placed them in challengingsituations. He pushed them to find

answers and taught them with storiesof God’s ways. He invested time,sweat equity and energy in theirtraining. Despite their two stepsforward, one step backward develop-ment, he believed in them.

Facing his own death, Jesus hada succession plan. Those discipleswere the future leaders of the church.On Pentecost Sunday they assumedthe mantle of leadership and carriedGod’s mission into the future

Perhaps you are the leader of someactivity, club, sport, agency, church,organization, etc. What is your lead-ership succession plan? Have youidentified potential leaders? Are youcoaching them for future leadership?

If not, you may be writing yourgroup’s obituary. You could learnsomething from Jesus, the leadershipcoach.

is keeping busy withher series of com-puter and Internetguidebooks.

Her new-est release is MyParents’ ComputerGuide: Beyond theBasics. The guidetackles subjectmatter like Skype,Twitter, Facebookand includes howto’s for digital cam-eras and iPods.

Latremouille saysshe got feedbackfrom her readersasking for helpwith Skype, whichallows users tomake voice callsover the Internet, aswell as with Twitterand Facebook, bothsocial networkingwebsites.

“I heard lots ofpeople asking whena new book wascoming out beforeI even thought Iwas writing a newbook,” she says witha laugh.

Another impe-tus behind theBeyond the Basicswas Windows 7, anew version of theMicrosoft Windowsoperating system.

“I always takecare to make mybooks fairly genericso they won’t getquickly outdated.But Windows 7changed so manythings,” she says.

Beyond the Basicsstays with the easyto understand themefrom her previous books.

“It makes it simple. It’s very userfriendly.”

Latremouille got started by puttingtogether how-to notes for her parentsafter they received a hand-me-downPC in the early 2000s, organizing thenotes into a book and printing 20 cop-

ies for family and friends.Latremouille, who lost her father

to cancer in 2003, donates a portionof the profits from her book salestowards cancer research and patientcare. She’s donated close to $25,000to date.

“My dad was my inspiration in thebeginning.”

Her first book, now into its thirdedition, has sold 30,000 copies.Latremouille also released a how-tobook for Mac computers last year.

The book is available online atwww.myparentsfirst.com, at localbookstores and at Chapters.

The suggested retail price for thebook is $19.95.

The Delta CommunityMusic School has anew home.

The group moved intothe McKee heritage homeon Arthur Drive in earlyMarch and will mark thenew digs with an openhouse tomorrow from 1 to5 p.m.

“We just saw an oppor-tunity, because we’ve beenlooking for a home of ourown for a long time, andknew we couldn’t affordto build our own, certainlynot in this economy,” saysDCMS chair Pat Rogers.

A higher visibility comeswith the move, she says.

“We’ve certainly had alot of enquiries, and morepeople signing up for les-sons.”

She notes the non-profitmusic school called second-story space on HavilandStreet home for over 20years.

The McKee HouseSeniors’ Society previouslyused the heritage home andhas since moved into itsown recreation centre nextdoor.

The open house will fea-ture about 50 students per-forming, along with facultymembers, throughout theday. Rogers says if weatherpermits, some music willbe played on the heritagehome’s front porch.

A ribbon cutting isscheduled to take place at3 p.m. The heritage houseis located at 4705 ArthurDrive.

DCMS offers a variety ofprograms ranging from pri-vate lessons in piano, guitarand most orchestral instru-ments, to group lessons andoutreach elementary schoolband programs in Delta andSurrey.

The Delta-Richmondchapter of theCouncil of Canadians

will present the 2009Michael Moore documen-tary Capitalism: A LoveStory at the Ladner PioneerLibrary next week.

The film centres on therecent recurring financialcrisis and resulting recoverypackages while putting for-ward an indictment of thecurrent economic order inthe U.S. and capitalism ingeneral.

It will be shown onWednesday, May 19 at 7p.m.

Moore’s film alternatesbetween a fierce critiqueof the status quo, personalaccounts of the suffer-ing caused by the currenteconomic crisis and comi-cal social satire. Throughnumerous examples, hedemonstrates how our blindbelief in the virtues of freeenterprise have allowedcorporations to gain vastpolitical power while unions

have been weakened andsocio-economic gaps havewidened.

“This film, while highlyentertaining in typicalMichael Moore style, willcause you to again wonderwhy we so readily acceptthe notion that our prosper-ity and general welfare canbest be obtained througheconomic growth poweredby and largely consumed bythe wealthy few,” said chap-ter member Jim Flint.

leisure&lifestyles travel

The speed on the elec-tronic screen at thefront of the Deutsche

Bahn passenger car climbsdramatically as the engineertries to reach Copenhagenon schedule.

Throughout the trip, thereadout has hovered around125 km/h, but now it hassoared to 175 km/h as wehurtle towards the station.However, the effort is futileas the Inter-City Express(ICE) train arrives 12 min-utes late, so the train we’retrying to catch has alreadydeparted for Stockholm.

But a train leavesmomentarily for Malmo,Sweden, so we hop aboard.When the conductor checksour Eurail passes, weexplain we’re travelling toStockholm. A few minuteslater, he returns to tell uswe may be able get on theright train in Malmo.

The train we werescheduled to catch inCopenhagen has stoppedin Malmo and we makeit aboard with no time to

spare and settle into seats tocomplete our journey to theSwedish capital.

The missed train turnsout to be a minor hiccupin our railway journeys inthe United Kingdom andEurope. We travelled fromLondon to Stockholm andback, as well as to severaldestinations in England andScotland.

These enjoyable tripsserve as a reminder thattrain travel in the U.K. andEurope is entirely differ-ent than what we have inCanada. Every aspect oftrain travel – whether it’sthe locomotives and traincars, the scale of service,the speed, the number ofroutes, the size and numberof stations and the ameni-ties they offer – is outsideour experience.

The terminals inEuropean cities tend to bein the middle of the down-town with a wide rangeof services in the stationand hotels close by, oftenjust across the street. InHamburg, for example, thestation has a large foodcourt, two levels of shop-

ping, a tourist informationoffice, railway ticket officeand other services.

Once on the platform ofa European rail station, it’snot unusual to see morethan a dozen tracks, some-times handling two trainsper platform. The tickettells passengers where tostand on the platform toensure they board the cor-rect train.

The journey from coun-try to country within theEuropean Union is seam-less for Canadians because25 countries in the Union– except for the U.K.,which opted out – are partof a borderless zone. Theonly places our passportswere checked was leaving

London for Brussels and onthe return trip to Londonfrom Brussels.

From London, we tookthe Eurostar through thechannel tunnel, hittingspeeds of up to 300 km/h.The Eurostar ticket includestravel within Belgium.

After paying a smallsupplement, we rolledonward to the Germancity of Aachen, knownfor its hot mineral springsand for once being hometo Holy Roman EmperorCharlemagne.

Since we were travellingin early December whendemand for hotel roomswas light, we didn’t makereservations and foundlodging without difficulty.

However, reservations are anecessity in the busy sum-mer season.

In Aachen, we visitedthe cathedral built duringthe reign of Charlemagne,emperor of the Holy RomanEmpire from 800 to 814.Later, we browsed theChristmas market that setsup around city hall.

From Aachen we trav-elled to Cologne, then on toHamburg to see – what else– the world’s largest modeltrain layout, MiniatureWonderland.

From Hamburg, the trainjourneyed to Puttgardenwhere it rolled onto a ferrythat was already sailing intothe Baltic by the time wehad climbed two flights ofstairs to the passenger deck.At Rodby in Denmark, thetrain rolled off and contin-ued on to Copenhagen.

On the return trip, wewent entirely by landfrom Copenhagen acrossthe Danish islands toJutland and then down intoGermany.

There are also first-classcars on the trains. In addi-tion to plusher seats, this

also includes, for example,airplane style food serviceon the Eurostar. The stew-ard delivers a hot meal toyour seat.

On our return trip fromStockholm, we take thenight train to Cologne,deciding to reserve spacein a couchette that providessleeping accommodationfor up to six travellers.

As we approach theCologne station, a stewardopens the compartmentdoor just after 6 a.m. androuses us with the messagethat we’ve arrived.

In Cologne, we have 2-1/2 hours between trains,more than enough time forbreakfast and a tour of themagnificent Cologne cathe-dral, just across the squarefrom the station. Then it’sonto the train bound forBrussels where we rejointhe Eurostar for the trip toLondon.

Including stopovers, thetrip took 24 hours. Air trav-el would have been fasteron this journey, but doesn’tmatch the range and rich-ness of our experiences onthe train.

The Winskill Dolphins SwimClub have four new reasons tocelebrate after Markus Thormeyer,Noemie Thomas, Vito Zou, andLuke Reilly were selected to rep-resent Canada at the 2010 NorthAmerican Challenge Cup in SantaClara, California.

Only two other Canadian swimclubs — both giant organiza-tions from Toronto and Calgary— can boast more swimmers on

the Canadian youth team than thelittle club from Tsawwassen.

An elite competition, featur-ing the best young talent fromCalifornia, Mexico and thePacific Northwest, the NorthAmerican Challenge Cup will bethe premiere meet this summerfor Canada’s top youth swimmers.The event runs from Aug. 3-8.

Thormeyer (12) swam his wayonto the boys 12 and under team

in the 200 backstroke with thebest showing in B.C. His perfor-mance also marked the first timeDolphin’s assistant head coachBen Keast has placed a swimmeron the national team. Zou (14)and Reilly (14) both made the13-and-14 boys squad for theirperformances in the 400 indi-vidual medley and 200 freestylerespectively.

Thomas (13), a veteran of the

national team, qualified for the 14and under girls’ 100 butterfly withthe highest FINA point score onthe team and a B.C. record in theevent.

In total, B.C. has 18 swimmerson the NACC Team, with 22 per-cent of those athletes being fromWinskill.

Dolphins head Coach TomRushton was also named to thenational team staff to oversee the

girls 14 and under swimmers.“We’re entering the next

phase of this club’s development,namely representing Canadaat the international level,” saidRushton. “We’ve had local suc-cess, provincial success, andnational success. That’s importantto continue, but now the priorityhas shifted onto making interna-tional teams. It’s an exciting timefor all of us.”

Four Dolphin swimmers selected to represent Canada

Pioneers load up for run at nationalsUnbeaten senior men’s lacrosse team welcomes WLA regulars Kyle Goundrey, Trent Smalley and Gary Bining

It only takes a quick glance atthe Ladner Pioneers’ roster to real-ize where the national champion-ships are being played this year.

A trend in the West CoastSenior Lacrosse Association isteams making an extra effortto load up on talent when thePresident’s Cup happens to be inB.C. The Pioneers have done justthat in attempt to represent theprovince in Burnaby, Aug. 16-21.

Not only is former NLL andWLA standout Kyle Goundreyback on a full-time basis. The teamhas welcomed a pair of local prod-ucts who have been WLA regularsuntil now.

Former Delta Islander juniorstar Trent Smalley, has put hisWLA career on hold to help hishometown team get to the nation-als, as has Gary Bining, who iscurrently in Ohio but will be backfor the stretch run of the season.

Warren Fidler, the league MVPin 2006, is also in Pioneer colours,as is current Islander junior “A’coach Greg Rennie. Throw in 2009all-stars Josh Neumann, Corey

Willamson and David Yee, alongwith veteran goalie Rob Cook andthe Pioneers look more than capa-ble of taking serious run at theirthird national title.

“We could be even adding somemore guys,” said head coach RossFrehlick who watched his teamjump out to a 3-0 start in regularseason play with easy wins over

Chilliwack and Langley, then animpressive 11-8 road triumphagainst Tri-City on Monday night.

“We not only got more guyswho can put the ball in the netbut we also have more size andspeed. You’re going to see us playa system where we are going to berunning more.”

Frehlick expects Bandits to

also be in contention. The club’slongtime rival has added a numberof former WLA players. Nanaimoand the Valley Rebels should alsobe a threat, while Burnaby is guar-anteed a spot at the nationals asthe host team.

Boxla Bits…Goundrey led the way against

the Bandits with two goals and

two assists. Fidler and Sean Kellyalso scored twice as Ladner pulledaway with five goals in the finalperiod.

Thomas Haydon, Tim Winterand Williamson had singles. MattMorehouse turned aside 35 shotsfor his second win of the season.

Ladner hosts Royal City nextThursday at 8 p.m.

The South Delta Kodiaks were victoriousat the 2010 Canlan Ice North Shore SpringSizzler Tournament.

The spring hockey club, that featuresplayers born in 2002, finished ahead of nineother teams, ranging from Maple Ridge toSeattle.

The Kodiaks’ run to the title began withwins over the Surrey Junior Eagles (2-1)and the Westside Flyers (6-1). That set thestage for a key early battle with the B.C.Lightning. The locals responded to the chal-lenge with a 4-2 victory and the momentumcarried over into their final round-robingame — a 16-0 romp of the North ShoreWarriors.

The stage was set for the Elite AAA finalagainst the Junior Flames. The teams hadsome unfinished business to take care ofafter battling to an 8-8 tie in regular seasonplay. The Kodiaks needed a last second goalto salvage the point and both teams enteredthe tournament with unbeaten records.

The championship game proved to be amuch tighter affair with even more drama.

After a scoreless opening period, theKodiaks took over in the second and pro-duced a 3-0 lead.

The third period belonged to the Flamesas they managed an early goal thenregrouped after an injury to one of theirplayers to score two goals in less than aminute and force a five-minute sudden over-time period.

The Flames came out strong to start theextra session, however, the Kodiaks weath-ered the storm and went the other way toproduce the game winner.

The Kodiaks roster features: CarterMcColman, Zachary Sherwin, MatthewWillford, Mathew Morison, Ryan Watson,Braedy Euerby, Alec Scouras, CarsonHemenway, Rhys Porteous, AidanVanPoelgeest, Max Yingling, Hayden Tuba,Ben Kraemer, Josh Bermel and goalie;Nelson Griffiths. The coaches are JimScouras, Blair Tuba, Murray Sherwin, MarkMcColman and Dave Kraemer.

The team thanks Kintec FootLabs fortheir generous support.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections May 16 - 22★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: Settle into a few daysof rest Sunday to noon Tuesday. Soon, you’re goingto be very busy. Woo no one Sunday/Monday – loveaffairs started then would be short and disappointing,or long and disappointing. Romance is the main themeTuesday eve to Thursday – and it’s complex! Illusionruns everywhere, almost like an elf; but clear, sobersight alternates. Stick with the latter. The same appliesto creative and speculative ventures. Thursday nightbegins four weeks of travel, paperwork, details, calls,casual contacts and siblings. It starts with a majordecision about work, duties.

Taurus April 20-May 20: Travel, paperwork, detailsand casual communications are slated Sunday toTuesday. Speak carefully – beware of promisingsomething that you have doubts about. Your moneyinterests meet two barriers: one relates to romance,kids, home and family; the other to outside interests,friends, social factors. As the week ages, you mightdiscern that the real problem is not money, but homeversus the outside world, kids versus friends, romanceversus flirtations, career. Success is yours if youcombine them. Rest mid-week. Romance, pleasurebless you Friday/Saturday. A money phase begins!

Gemini May 21-June 20: Through Thursday, youremain sequestered, tired, contemplative, quiet.But a month of such is ending. Thursday eve intothe weekend you can courageously end a situation,relationship or task/burden. This will be followed by atrue surge of energy, optimism and effectiveness. Thisupsurge might not arrive until May 23, because youstruggle all this week, right into Saturday night, with atug-o-war between home-domestic-property-security-kid-related urges and demands, and those calling youaway from home, to career, prestige and ambitionprojects. Maybe this relates to ending something!

Cancer June 21-July 22: This is a week of choices,of opposite extremes, and an attempt to reconcile orbring together competing people or ideas. The “poles”involve communications, relationships, ethics, ideasand philosophical (or religious) convictions, law,education or travel. E.g., do you travel to the next town,or to Africa? Attend college or night school? Remain“just friends” or get married? Both choices are valid.But: don’t fall in love before Tuesday dawn, and don’tfall for sexual illusion mid-week. The “casual” breedspartnership; the long, elevated, legal, internationalpoint to work luck.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Keep working hard throughThursday –you could take one last big step in ambitiousregions Tuesday to Thursday. (Before Tuesday, workquietly, with naps.) You’ve been somewhat suspiciousof others, particularly of potential (or actual) partnersfor over a decade.This trend will fade away after 2011,but for now – this week – be neither suspicious norgullible, especially Wednesday. All week, financialdecisions and choices face you. Choose a long-termoutlook, investing, net worth, over “quick money” ormere spending. A month of flirtations, popularity andfun begins Friday!

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Mellow times draw toa close. Still, you’ll like this week. Sunday to noonTuesday brings popularity, entertainment, flirtations,optimism about your future (and it’s justified!). Retreat,rest, contemplate and plan mid-week. Scan thehorizon to study barriers and how to overcome them.Your energy and charisma rise Thursday night, just as amonth of career, ambition, prestige relations and statussituations enters. (VIPs favour you to Wednesday.)This week holds both opportunities and challenges inrelationships, negotiations and dealings with strangers.You meet someone cheerful.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Mysteries & dark attractionsgive way to understanding and the light of loveThursdaynight onward. Don’t chase love Sunday to Wednesday:a long-term disappointment lurks. If you break upWednesday, consider yourself lucky. Despite these direwords, mid-week finds you actually happy, flirtatious,optimistic and social! (Just forget infatuation.) Sinkinto rest, solitude and contemplation Thursday nightto Saturday: a month of mental expansion, travel, newlove and intellectual joy is just beginning. You attractattention, glances Saturday night. But hesitate aboutlove, two more days.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: What had been opportunityturns, late week, into a month of commitment. You’lleither grab an opportunity in a way that binds you, orwalk away to seek change. Either works, so follow yourinstincts. This entire week (and May 23) is filled withchoices between competing roads, people, forces. UntilWednesday eve, much of this involves sex, finances,health or commitment. Thursday onward, the choicesare “lighter” – friends or a lover, a present indulgenceor plan for the future? A casual relationship or aprofound one? Lover, indulgence, profundity are lucky– to a degree.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: At last, a month of hardwork, boredom and health concerns ends (well, byThursday night) – the fresh breeze of opportunity enters!Expect relationship excitement, new vistas & people,contracts & agreements, the possibility of relocation.But this week confronts you with a series of seriouschoices. Though others have treated you affectionatelyfor the last few weeks, now you have to choose(Sunday/Monday) between affection (relationshipsgenerally) and ambition. Then, Tuesday/Wednesday,between affection and security or family. Then, lateweek, between ambition and home. Ah, well.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: A romantic, creative,pleasurable, sports-filled or beauty-oriented phaseyields to a month of hard work and health concernsby Thursday night. But a streak of those good thingswill last into mid-June. (Best if romance, as the planetcausing it is Venus.) Relationships, opportunities andfresh vistas confront you Sunday to Tuesday, but resultsare mixed. Romance with someone you met (or meet)in a group can succeed, so do casual Starbucks-type friendships and intellectual or legal affairs. Butforget co-worker romance, and money’s deceptive.Mysteries mid-week. Gentle love late week!

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: You’re still “confined” tohome, domestic and security concerns until Thursdaynight. Then a month of pleasure, romance, creativityand “winning” arrives! But somehow it comes aboutthrough a deep change you make, or it accompaniesthis change. The smaller the change, perhaps theless of a bang this lucky month ahead will make. (Icould be wrong.) The whole week presents a seriesof challenges or choices. Romance won’t partner withsex, creativity won’t co-operate with money, Sunday toWednesday. DO NOT begin a love these few days. Lateweek, money choices. But happiness looms!

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Though the weeksahead bring a slow-down, that’s actually good news,because it ends a rather wasteful spinning of yourwheels. A travel, paperwork and errand-filled trendends Thursday night, and a quiet, deep, meaningfulfew weeks begin. This week presents many choices.You might face the prospect of ending or deepening arelationship early week: the outcomes are, oddly, sosimilar that I have no advice except this: don’t starta new love (or any) relationship before Thursday. Thisnight to Saturday brings relationship excitement, newhorizons: quiet, sober, secure ones. Hmmm.
