Former trustee Brent Atkinson wasin a conflict of interest when he servedas both a trustee and as a board directorand chief executive officer of the SchoolDistrict 40 Business Company, accord-ing to auditor general John Doyle.

Doyle’s long-anticipated examina-tion into the business company’s gov-ernance, internal controls and com-pliance with legislation was releasedon Wednesday afternoon by the NewWestminster school district.

In Doyle’s 10-page report, submit-ted to the New Westminster schooldistrict on Jan. 13, the auditor-generaloutlines four key observations and rec-ommendations.

Doyle offers suggestions – all agreedto by the school board – for the firstthree areas of governance: relationshipwith SD40 Business Company, agencyrelationship risk and appointment ofSD40 Business Company board mem-bers. But the fourth area, risk of conflictof interest, provides the most telling ofDoyle’s observations and recommen-dations.

Doyle notes that Atkinson, at thetime a school trustee, but also the chairof the SD40 Business Company boardand chief executive officer of SD40 BC,“may have had an undeclared indirectpecuniary interest” because he wasin violation of section 56 (a) (i) of theSchool Act.

That section notes that “a trusteehas an indirect pecuniary interest inany matter in which the board is con-cerned if the trustee … is a shareholderin or a director or senior officer ofa corporation that does not offer its

Location, location, location.It’s a maxim most frequently

used in real estate, but in the caseof Royal Columbian Hospital’semergency ward, it’s not too faroff the mark.

“The emergency (ward) has tomaintain a priority for emergencysituations,” said Dr. Adam Lund.“It’s not the right place for in-patients.”

Lund and his fellow ER doctorsgave a letter to hospital adminis-tration earlier this week indicat-ing that, as of next Wednesday,patients who have been seen,admitted and are effectively onhold for a spot in another area willno longer be housed in ER bedswhile they wait for a bed.

“Within the hospital culture,once you are admitted, you ‘own abed.’ … We haven’t challenged thatdogma too much,” said Lund.

Right now, incoming emergen-cy patients often get shuffled intooverflow spaces because the ERbeds are filled with in-patientswho are in limbo while waiting fora space to open up on a ward.

“There’s a real cap on whatthe wards will tolerate – they’redaily in an over-count position, foryears now.”

Lund said that, from an admin-istrative perspective, he complete-ly understands why the ER seemslike the best spot for in-patientswhen wards are full.

“If I had to pick a place, I’dthink of the ER, too. There are24/7 doctors and nurses, there’sequipment and good lighting.Everything is right there in theER,” he said.

But it’s not an ideal situation

for either the in-patient who isstruggling to get some rest in anoisy environment or the incom-ing ER patient who has to waitor be temporarily housed in over-flow areas.

Lund says the move is anattempt to force a change of mind-set and hopefully find some long-term solutions for the issues.

“What we’ve seen over the last

decade is a slow creep where careis marginalized to these ad-hocspaces,” he said, noting that adecision was made recently to setup a temporary space in the hos-pital lobby. “But how far can yougo? The joke is the parking lot,but how far out can you reallyspread?”

In the past few years, RCHhas made headlines several times

for overflowing ER patients beingcared for in the hospital’s TimHortons or, more recently, in atemporary space in the generallobby.

“We need everyone in the pub-lic, the media, the (health-care)system, to understand the problemthe same way, which is this: wedon’t really have a problem withemergency centre overcrowding,

we have a problem with hospitalovercrowding.

“We believe we have enoughbeds and doctors and staffing todo emergency medicine in ourhealth authority. … It’s our hopethat by saying emergency medi-cine needs an equal place andthat it’s important to preserveemergency capacity, we look to a

Overcrowding a hospital-wide concernHOW CAN ROYAL COLUMBIAN SOLVE ITS EMERGENCY ROOM ISSUES?

Impromptu ER: Royal Columbian Hospital treated patients in its lobby in January when the emergency ward reached capacity. But doc-tors say the problem doesn’t stem from overcrowding in the emergency ward – it’s a lack of beds to transfer patients to.

New Westminster keeps on growingIf the Royal City seemed just a bit more

crowded in the last five years, those sus-picions were confirmed with Wednesdaymorning’s release of Statistics Canada’s2011 census of population.

New Westminster now has 65,976 resi-dents, an increase of more than 7,000 fromthe 58,549 people who lived in the city in2006.

The 12.7 per cent increase is substan-

tially higher than the 4.4 per cent increasein Vancouver, and slightly more than the10.1 per cent increase in neighbouringBurnaby.

The increased New Westminster num-bers mirror the overall increase across thecountry, as Canada’s population increased5.9 per cent, from 31,612,897 in 2006 to33,476,688 in 2011. Canada’s populationincreased 5.4 per cent between 2001 and2006.

According to the Stats Canada report,the increase in the growth rate was attrib-

utable to a slightly higher fertility rate andan increase in the number of non-perma-nent residents and immigrants.

Canada’s population increased at a fast-er rate than the population of any othermember of the G8 group of industrializednations between 2006 and 2011. This wasalso the case between 2001 and 2006.

Net international migration account-ed for two-thirds of Canada’s populationgrowth during the last 10 years, withnatural increase, or the difference betweenbirths and deaths, accounting for the other

one-third increase.Stats Canada also breaks down the

numbers according to federal electoraldistricts.

For the two New Westminster ridings,the percentage increase is roughly the same.In New Westminster-Coquitlam, popula-tion increased from 111,231 to 122,899 inthe last five years, an increase of 10.5 percent. In Burnaby-New Westminster, thenumbers increased 11.1 per cent, from118,713 to 131,917.

different solution.”Lund said that may

include, in part, increasedcapacity in other areas, butit’s a multifaceted questionthat needs to examine allcomponents of the health-care system, from homecare to long-term care.

Roy Thorpe-Dorwardwith the Fraser HealthAuthority said they’re“completely supportive” ofthe plan.

“It will be a change to thepatient flow,” he said, not-ing that will be an adjust-ment to current procedure.

However, he acknowl-edged that it’s not idealto have either ER patientsor in-patients in overflowspaces.

“(Over-capacity) is abso-lutely what we’re workingon,” he said.

Pointing to the recentlyreleased census details, henotes that growth in theregion is a challenge thatadds pressure to the sys-tem.

“It’s about seven percent (patient growth), yearover year, and for RCHand Surrey (Memorial) it’sprobably a bit more, about10 per cent growth.”

In addition, the region –along with the entire coun-try – is facing an increasingpopulation of seniors as thebaby boomer generation

continues to age.“It’s a reality every day

at RCH that all the beds arefull,” he said.

All of the hospital’s inthe region have in-patientsin the ER waiting for a bedelsewhere in the hospital orregion.

In response to thosepressures, says Thorpe-Dorward, the authority isworking on a few areas:increasing capacity atSurrey Memorial by 150beds as well as a proposedbut not-yet-approved planto increase RCH’s capacityby 300 beds.

However, those are bothlonger-term solutions thatwill take time to implementfully.

For shorter-term solu-tions, he notes they’re look-ing at ways to improveefficiency in many differentways – such as speedingup the process for havinga patient discharged oncethey’re ready to leave.

“We have to focus onall the changes that can bemade – small differencesthat will add up,” he said.

To that end, he pointsto an expert panel thathas been convened tolook specifically at short-and mid-term changes atRoyal Columbian Hospitaland Surrey Memorial toimprove the situation.

That group is expected tocome back with some ideasno later than March 31.

As for patients at RCH,Lund says the doctors,nurses and staff are com-mitted to giving the bestcare they can, even whenthe location makes thingschallenging.

“From a doctor’s pointof view, we do the best wecan every day – but it justmakes you feel run-down.I worry that it forces us tobe more abbreviated whenyou’re dealing with thelogistics of working in non-traditional spaces,” he said.

securities to the public.”Doyle notes that Atkinson voted on

SD40 Business Company related matters atschool board meetings, “includingresolutions to clarify the originalterms of the loan (from the districtto the business company) and toadvance funds to SD40 BC.”

Doyle also noted that Atkinsonvoted against tabling a motionrelated to deferring an advanceof funds to the business companyuntil after legal advice on whetherhe was in a conflict of interest wasobtained.

Further on in Doyle’s observa-tions, he points out that currentschool board vice-chair Michael Ewen, a for-mer director of the business company, alsovoted in the same manner as Atkinson.

But Doyle stops short of declaring Ewenin the same conflict of interest as Atkinson,noting that: “It is important for senior man-agement and board members to be cog-nizant of what a conflict of interest is andto declare annually, in writing, their inde-pendence and their interests in any otherbusinesses so that any actual or perceivedconflicts can be noted.”

Atkinson, who didn’t seek re-electionlast November after 31 years as a trustee,told The Record on Wednesday afternoonthat he had seen the report and he respect-fully disagrees with Doyle’s conclusions.

“We had a fairly lengthy conversation,”Atkinson said of his talks with Doyle. “Inhis opinion, I had an indirect pecuniaryinterest, but that’s not how I see it. I abidedby his direction because he is the auditor-

general, but this is no longer applicablebecause I’m no longer a trustee.”

Atkinson doesn’t apologize for votingas he did in September 2009 when the busi-

ness company needed a $95,000loan from the school district tomeet payroll.

The motion passed with allthree Voice New Westminstertrustees – Lisa Graham, JimGoring and Casey Cook – votingagainst it, while trusteesLori Watt, James Janzen,Ewen and Atkinsonvoted to provide theloan, which was to bepaid back within 60days.

“If I hadn’t voted, the motionwould have failed on a 3-3 tie,and the business company prob-ably wouldn’t have met payroll,”Atkinson said on Wednesday.“The business company may nothave survived.”

For Graham, Doyle’s report was vindica-tion.

“It felt like Christmas Day,” said Graham.“It’s nice to see in print what so many peo-ple had been saying about the operationsof the business company for some time.Victory isn’t the right word, but it reaffirmswhat so many of us were saying, that therewas a conflict-of-interest situation.”

Graham said she thinks Doyle’s recom-mendations can be applied to the future.

“What I hope comes of this is the mis-takes of the past won’t be repeated,” saidGraham. “This establishes guidelines onwhat conflict of interest is.”

Patrick O’Connor, who served morethan five years on the district’s financecommittee and often brought up the issueof conflict of interest, was also pleased withDoyle’s report.

“This confirms what we’ve been say-ing for years,” said O’Connor. “Conflict ofinterest hasn’t existed just for the businesscompany, it’s existed in other board situa-tions. … I think what we won is clarity forthe future.”

And O’Connor said he hopesthat the school board will takeseriously the concerns of the pub-lic at large.

“Maybe when communitymembers come forward withconcerns, they shouldn’t bestonewalled for six years,” saidO’Connor.

Ewen acceptedDoyle’s recommenda-tions even though hedoesn’t agree with theauditor-general’s obser-

vations on conflict of interest.“The School Act is very clear,”

said Ewen. “I don’t believe Brentwas in a indirect pecuniary inter-est. … I would argue that it wasan altruistic interest, where theinterest was to raise funds for thestudents of New Westminster.Because of Brent, almost $1 mil-lion has come into the district for the benefitof New Westminster students.

“I think he (Doyle) is wrong. … I don’tsee where Brent had a direct or indirectpecuniary interest.”

The district released Doyle’s report with

a cover letter, signed by chair James Janzen,noting that the district has “already takensignificant steps to implement (Doyle’s)recommendations.”

Janzen also outlined four key obser-vations, from the board’s point of view,including the fact the district has receivedmore than $880,000 in profit from the busi-ness company; that the district has providedshort-term advances to the business compa-ny, with the most recent time being in 2009;that a majority of trustees attended the busi-ness company’s annual general meeting in2011 to oversee appointments and approv-als; and that the business company’s boardof directors is now in compliance with theSchool Act.

As for what he thinks about critics of thebusiness company, Ewen was also clear.

“I get the fact that some people want tolive in the past, but the businesscompany has been a great successstory,” said Ewen. “My advice tothose people is ‘get over it.’ We’rein February 2012. The businesscompany has paid off everything,including interest, and it has pro-vided almost $1 million in addi-tion funds to the students of NewWestminster. That’s the story.”

Trustee Casey Cook, who hastalked about conflict of interestat the board table, is currentlyon vacation, but a tweet from his

Twitter account did capture his thoughts onthe report’s release.

“The AG’s report is out. Have a read.The sanctimonious, duplicetous (sic) acts inthe last election and long be4 is now clear4 all 2 see.”

Can there be a better argument for afree and diligent media?

During the last several months,reporters at the major dailies have beenreporting on serious criminalcharges that have been stayeddue to court delays.

Think of it. People whocould well be guilty of hein-ous crimes will escape justice simplybecause the system cannot handle theircase. Short of court space, short of judg-

es, short of prosecutors – whatever thecombination, it is appalling.

Finally, Premier Christy Clark saysshe is frustrated with growing delays

in B.C. courts and launches afive-month review to deter-mine how her government canmake the justice system moreefficient. This coming from

the same person who wanted to wasteprecious court time broadcasting hockeyhooligans.

Of course, the president of theCanadian Bar Association, B.C. branchsaid the problem is funding. A systemthat has been underfunded for years isfinally starting to wear out.

The president of the B.C. CrownCounsel Association said there are cur-rently 2,500 cases over 18 months old(the point at which charges could bestayed). He also said there are another5,000 cases as of five months ago thatwere between 12 and 18 months old.

There is clearly no time to spare.We agree with Premier Clark that

the problem cannot be solved with justmore money. But that is surely a largepart of the solution.

The Liberals, understandably, maynot want to put any money into ensur-ing justice is done. But we will all bepaying a higher price when those whoshould be kept off the streets are walk-ing free simply because the system can’thandle the cases.

City council: stopsocialist plans

Chris Bell has only touchedthe tip of the inequalitiesof the city’s fair living

wage policy (re: Resident saysliving wage policy violated, TheRecord, Feb. 1.)

This policy was introducedby Coun. Jaimie McEvoy morethan a year ago when he donnedhis Star Trek tie andpledged to go whereno other has gone.Well he was right, ayear has passed andno other city in this region hasgone there. They know better.

Labor unions nationally(CUPE is no exception) favourfair living wage legislationbecause it reduces the differ-ence between union wages andnon-union, which increases theunions’ ability to compete forcity contracts.

It is also a way to halt priva-tization of public services/con-tracting out. Why do unions andthis council feel it is within theirmandate to dictate this policy,when it impacts so few workersresiding in the city but is a drainon city funds?

It’s time for this council to jus-tify the real cost/benefits of thispolicy now and into the future.

Tell us the benefit of adding$40,000 for a union position toprovide sandwiches for staff,which was previously contractedout. Tell us about the $60,000cost to bring jail custodians upto fair living wages. Tell us nowwhat we can expect at the civiccentre or Pier Park? A tube steakvendor forced to pay $18 per

hour instead of allowing freeenterprise to survive and pros-per?

Do all workers have a spouseand two kids that qualify for afair living wage? Many workersdo not.

Businesses have a B.C.labour code to live by, and if

the minimum wage isinsufficient (and it is,for other than job entrypositions), lobby forincreases through the

provincial government, not NewWest taxpayers.

Are we now expected tosubsidize contractors and theirstaff, who in most cases liveand do business outside ofNew Westminster. Is this just anexample of the union-affiliatedNDP gutting the labour code atour expense?

I suggest, rather than tax-payers picking up this cost, theunions with their high wage andbenefit packages subsidize thefair living wage. They benefitthe most by it. Each public ser-vice worker could contribute tothis cost. That would be a moreequitable fair living wage.

It will be interesting to seewhat happens to the flaggers atthe civic centre.

Council and staff will belooking into this. I suspect therewill be a new fair living wagedepartment complete with ahigh priced manager and CUPEstaff established to scrutinize thisflawed policy.

More union jobs, more costs.

Questions linger on math classDear Editor:

Re: Math students’ marks adjusted after com-plaints, The Record, Feb. 8.

The actions of the school district suggest thechildren’s marks in Foundations of Math 11 were notscaled.

All FOM 11 students received a letter stating “eachstudent’s achievement must be reviewed individual-ly. During the review process, we will consider manyalternatives including but not limited to: maintaincurrent mark; adjust the mark on a student-by-stu-dent basis; base the final mark on the final test; base apercentage of the final mark on the final test.”

Interestingly, it appears that marks were adjustedin only three of the four FOM 11 classes, and of thethree classes, adjustment ranged from 15 per centto over 35 per cent. Interesting, too, is that all threeadjusted classes were taught by the same teacher.

The district and New Westminster Teachers’

Union president Grant Osborne appear to be unwill-ing to look at this situation beyond FOM 11, butHelga Robson, curriculum and assessment coordi-nator with the Ministry of Education, states in cor-respondence with me, “I have had no concerns fromother teachers or parents in B.C. that the Foundationsof Math 11 course is too difficult, resulting in highfailure rates.”

This teacher’s FOM 10 class also had an unusu-ally high failure rate, but nothing has been done toaddress those marks. In fact, this teacher has had avery high failure rates for more than 10 years. Thereal story is why this has gone on for so long. Whydidn’t her colleagues reach out to her? Why didn’tschool administration look into the low success rateand support her? Why wasn’t senior administrationconcerned/aware of the situation? Why weren’t theNWTU and Grant Osborne advocating for retrainingand support for this teacher? And most important,where is the accountability?

Beware of the NDPDear Editor:

Re: Clark may ignore polls but can’tignore voters, Our View, The Record, Feb.3.

Notice that the total of the B.C. Liberaland the B.C. Conservative combined per-centage is still higher than the NDP total.

Polls in Manitoba and Ontario showedfor a year before the provincial electionsin October of 2011, both incumbent gov-ernments were headed for defeat at theelection and the official opposition partieswere to form government.

On voting day, both incumbent gov-ernments were returned to government.A huge turnaround by the taxpayers.Presently the coalition parties have to dotheir homework to avoid splitting the vote,because if united, the NDP will once againform the official opposition party in B.C.after the next election.

If by chance the B.C. taxpayers do wantan NDP government, they have to remem-ber this. When Glen Clark was premier, hehad to have all cabinet decisions approvedby Ken Georgetti, and if the taxpayerswant Adrian Dix as premier, he will haveto have all cabinet decisions approved byJim Sinclair.

Also, Adrian Dix wants to raise thecorporation taxes, which means unem-ployment, so any taxpayer working for acorporation who wants Adrian Dix as theirpremier, in return they will have to lineup at their local EI office to file a claim foremployment insurance.

Jim Sinclair does not create jobs, pri-vate corporations do. Raise taxes, andlayoff of staff takes effect. No problem forJim, though, his paycheques keep comingregardless.

Truck traffic is a necessityDear Editor:

Re: No trucks on Royal Avenue, Letterto the Editor, The Record, Feb. 3.

I read the letter by Catalina P. Trinidadwith interest because it intrigues me andaffects me in a number of ways.

She presents a NIMBY (not in my back-yard) attitude quite clearly, but she doeslittle to offer any present solutions to theproblem she finds, which is trucks beingpresent on Royal Avenue and presentinga supposed pollution problem, which shehas also not addressed.

Had Catalina done her homework, she

would find that the street which she arguesabout is only a truck route during certainhours, which is from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., I dobelieve.

After or before those hours it is a citybylaw that trucks are not to be present onthis route, which if she finds is a problemthen she can bring this up to the city bylawofficers who can make a case to the NewWestminster Police Service for enforce-ment action.

Secondly, this is a truck route, and thuscity engineers have determined that thisparticular stretch of road is more thanhealthy enough to sustain the weight ofheavy vehicles.

Thirdly, as a major thoroughfare forall vehicles, New Westminster happensto be a hub of vehicle activity no mat-ter which vehicle from light-duty cars toheavy trucks.

It just so happens that I also live in NewWestminster, and I live on the 22nd Streetside of New Westminster, which makes ita hard route to get home through duringrush hour as many light vehicles are on theroutes I need to get home.

I could argue that New Westminstershould allow only city residents to travelthrough New Westminster so that mytravels home are unhindered, but in thepracticality of it, this would be irrational.I could argue that there are too many carstrying to cross the Queensborough and thePattullo Bridge, which were not designedto handle the present-day traffic.

I drive a truck also, and the argu-ment she presents is unsatisfactory. I couldargue that the city hall lawn she maylive across provides pollution from all themaintenance derived from the gasolineengines used for lawn care and the amountof pollution caused by cars that barely passAirCare sit idling during rush hours.

The bottom line is, New Westminsterhas been a hub for vehicle traffic probablylonger than most of us at present havelived in the city, and it was your choice tomove here.

If you would be willing to pay theexcess travel and excess fuel consumptionof thousands of trucking companies whoare trying to get through as quickly as theycan, I am sure they would be willing tocircumvent New Westminster. By the way,on a side note, take a look around yourhouse/apartment, and give thanks to thetruckers who brought it all.

Canada’s economy runs on the backs oftrucks, and if it wasn’t for trucks, Canada’seconomy stops, period!

the judge issued him a common lawpeace bond – a rarely used powera judge has to order someone whohas not been found guilty of a crimeto abide by court-orderedconditions. In this case,Dosanjh was orderedto report to a probationofficer, have no contactwith the woman he wasaccused of assaultingand possess no weapons,except through his workon the force.

The peace bond expiredin November 2011, buta parallel investigationinto Dosanjh’s conduct asa police officer has beenunderway since shortlyafter the original inci-dent. Once the Police Actinvestigation started, theinvestigator found otherincidents of misconduct,according to a report fromthe police complaint com-missioner, including Dosanjh pos-sessing a police firearm while off-duty and without permission; doingan unauthorized search of his ownvehicle’s licence on the police recordsystem, failing to notify the policeabout a change of address; and los-ing a knife that had been seized asevidence.

New Westminster police have notsaid how much Dosanjh collectedduring his suspension, however,according to the New WestminsterPolice Officers’ Association’s 2007-2010 collective bargaining agreement,the pay scale for first-class constablesranges from $72,444 to $79,080, peryear, not including benefits. As asecond-class constable, that scale is$65,196 to $71,172.

On Thursday, Jones said that he

could not discuss the details of thecase or disciplinary proceedings asthey are confidential under provinciallaw, but he could speak about theprocess.

According to Jones,in order for Dosanjh tohave been stripped ofhis pay and benefits,the New WestminsterMunicipal Police Boardwould have to vote onthe issue. Police boardstend to wait until an offi-cer has been convicted ofa crime before revokingpay.

A common law peacebond, however, is notconsidered a criminaloffence and does notappear as one on a crimi-nal record.

Jones said officer payis only revoked whenthere are serious allega-tions.

As for the length ofthe investigation, Jones said it was asfrustrating for him as it is for anyoneelse.

“It took too long. I’ll be the first tosay it,” he said. “It took almost twoyears to get through the court systembefore they ended up with a civilpeace bond.”

While the Police Act investigationwas running parallel to the criminalone, Jones said it is easier to proceedonce the criminal one is concludedbecause courts of law have a higherburden of proof than police disciplin-ary authorities.

“If he’s found guilty in a crimi-nal court, it almost slam-dunks yourPolice Act matter,” he said.

In reaching his decisions in dis-ciplinary cases, Jones said he mustconsider things like aggravating and

mitigating circumstances, the officer’sconduct and career performance. Thepolice complaint commissioner mustagree the punishment is not too harshor too light before it can be imple-mented.

Jones said having an officer sus-pended and getting paid also putsmore pressure on his resources topolice the city.

“I don’t get any special budgetfor it. I can’t spend those dollarselsewhere,” he said. “We have to finda way to still do our job, maintaineverything, deliver the service andwe have to do it with one less per-son.”

Jones also stressed that, while frus-trating for everyone involved, situa-tions like this are not the norm in theNew Westminster Police Service.

“This is an anomaly as opposed tosomething that we’ll normally see,”he said.

Rollie Woods, deputy police com-plaint commissioner, recently toldThe Record, that he has seen NewWestminster Police Service becomeone of the better forces in the prov-ince when it comes to transparency,discipline and accountability.

“I believe the reason is becausethey’re being very proactive in edu-cating their members on what expec-tations are and holding them to avery high standard, working on eth-ics and integrity. I think that’s hav-ing an impact on the number of com-plaints we’re getting and the types ofcomplaints we’re getting too.”

There is only one other officer onsuspension currently – Const. JeffreyKlassen who has been suspendedsince 2009 and had his pay andbenefits stripped after being foundguilty of assault in 2011.

That case is now headed to a dis-ciplinary proceeding, Jones said.

Chief Const. Jones: ‘It (the investigation)took too long, I’ll be the first to say it’

Chief Dave Jones‘This is an anomaly asopposed to somethingthat we’ll normallysee.’

City MP introduces rail noise billThose in New

Westminster fighting toreduce the noise comingfrom rail yards may soonhave some legislation intheir corner.

Burnaby-NewWestminster New DemocratMP Peter Julian introduceda private member’s bill tothe House of CommonsThursday that would pro-hibit railway companiesfrom engaging in noisy railyard activities in residentialareas between 10 p.m. and8 a.m.

“Existing legislationallows companies to pay lip

service to the complaints ofresidents and continue theirunreasonable and unre-sponsive behaviour,” Juliansaid in a press release. “Weare left with no other choicebut to carry on the fight inthe courts and reverse thelegislative changes broughtforth by the Senate in 2007.The well-being of our sleep-deprived communities was

negotiated away, and thesolution is to keep pushingfor tough legislation. That iswhat (Bill) C-393 is about.”

Noise from rail yards haslong been an issue for condoowners on WestminsterQuay, who Julian has beenmeeting with. Julian addedin the release that he is call-ing on other Canadians tosupport the bill through

Parliament.“Our offices have been

receiving complaints on railnoise, and I urge concernedcommunities to pressurethis government to listen toreason and common sense.Quayside residents, in factall Canadians, are entitledto a good night’s sleep,”said Julian.

YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITEDTO OUR FIRST COMMUNITY

The isolated pocket of about 20 casesof whooping cough in Hope at the start ofthe year has travelled to nearby Chilliwack– and grown to more than 100 cases.

And there could well besignificantly more cases thatare going unidentified andunreported.

“The true number is prob-ably about three times that,”said Dr. Elizabeth Brodkin,medical health officer with theFraser Health Authority.

She said that while mostcases of whooping cough, orpertussis, are recognizable byan extremely persistent coughmarked with a “whoop” noisewhen the patient tries to catchtheir breath, some cases don’tdevelop that cough.

“It may not always be rec-ognized … or not reported,” she said.“It starts out exactly like a cold – aches,pains, cough. But the cough goes on andon and on and on in most patients.”

Coughing can become so bad that itcan lead to vomiting.

On top of the cases around Chilliwack,there have also been a handful of casesthat have popped up in Abbotsford,Maple Ridge, Surrey and Burnaby, but it’snot clear that those are part of the FraserValley outbreak.

“There are a few cases each year, sothose may be part of the normal (annual)cases that we’d see anyway,” she told TheRecord.

Brodkin says the outbreak is most like-ly due to reduced immunity in the popu-lation at large. Vaccination protection

tapers off after about five years and mostadults get a natural “booster” from beingexposed to the disease but there hasn’tbeen an outbreak in about 10 years.

Adult immunity is important to protectchildren – though it can be uncomfort-able, and take a long time to recover from,pertussis is not typically fatal for adults.However, it can be particularly danger-ous for infants and young children.

Brodkin says that about half of younginfants who contract it will end up hospi-talized; of all infant cases, between one totwo per cent will be fatal.

“It can really be bad forinfants; there is one infant (inFraser Health Authority) thathas been in ICU since beforeChristmas,” said Brodkin.

In the Hope and Chilliwackarea, the health authority hasrolled a program to offer vac-cination to adults to help pro-tect infants who slowly develop an increasing immunity topertussis through a series ofvaccinations over the first fewmonths of life.

Though parents outsidethat area, like those here inNew Westminster, are not ableto access free vaccination like

parents in Chilliwack and Hope, Brodkinsaid it may be a good idea for adults gen-erally to look into getting a booster.

“If I was a parent of a young child, I’dbe thinking about it,” she said, notingthat many family doctors and pharma-cists are able to offer the vaccination bypurchase.

In fact, the question of whether or notadults in B.C. should be routinely offereda booster for pertussis is being discussedright now by medical authorities, shesays.

“There’s a working group looking atthat issue right now,” she said.

Currently, pertussis immunizations aregiven to infants, to children in kindergar-ten and again for youth in Grade 9.

◗ IN THE COMMUNITYTop 5 Things to Do: What’s up this weekend ◗P12Ratstravaganza coming back to city ◗P15

All welcome: Rev. Tim Bruneau at First Presbyterian Church, which is inviting community members to help celebrate 150 years of the Presbyterian Church in NewWestminster. Celebrations include an open house at the church in the Brow of the Hill Neighbourhood.

Newcomers enrich 150-year-old church

Newcomers and old-timers at FirstPresbyterian Church are finding theyhave more in common than they couldhave imagined.

The church, located in the Brow ofthe Hill neighbourhood, is hard at workplanning a celebration to commemoratethe 150th anniversary of the PresbyterianChurch in New Westminster. Today’s con-gregation includes folks who have beenattending the church for decades and

newcomers to Canada.“If you come on a Sunday, of the folks

who attend, 70 per cent have been nothere more than five years,” said Rev. TimBruneau. “Some of those 30 per cent havebeen here for the better part of one-half acentury. There’s still quite a few that havebeen in our church for one-half century.”

When Bruneau arrived at FirstPresbyterian Church in 2004, the averageage of the congregation members wasabout 72. Discussions followed with thegroup of elders about their vision for thecongregation – whether they wanted tocontinue with the way things had beenor they wanted to sacrifice some of thethings that had been done in the past inorder to reach out to different people.

“Thanks be to God, the elders andmost of the congregation were open to

change,” he said.That decision has led to an increased

diversity among members of the con-gregation. The church currently has fourelders, with one being from Canada andthe others hailing from Ireland, Ghanaand the Philippines.

At one time the congregation hada large number of people from Sudan,but it currently has a large contingent ofpeople who have moved here from thePhilippines.

“It’s very refreshing to have peoplefrom different cultures coming here,”Bruneau said. “In a way they have morein common with the seniors in terms ofthe strength of their commitment anddesire to serve God.”

Bruneau said some people went tochurch in past eras because they felt they

had to attend.“It’s kind of good, from my estimation,

that people are no longer going to churchbecause they are supposed to. They aredoing it because they are passionate aboutserving God,” Bruneau said. “I don’twant to take away from that era of his-tory. That is what people did then.”

In addition to increasing the size of thecongregation, Bruneau believes that theinflux of newcomers to the church hasother benefits.

“No one feels they own the church,” hesaid. “It is a little unsettling – where thisis useful is there is room for growth.”

Newcomers, said Bruneau, can quitequickly feel they are part of the congrega-tion. While it’s natural for people to

congregate with their friends andpeers, he said the church tries to bringpeople together and engage with eachother at various functions.

Bruneau said the longtime mem-bers of the congregation have takenchanges in stride. In addition toattracting a more diverse community,the church has also adapted some ofits traditions to be more appealing toyounger members.

“You’ve got to get with it,” saidBill Steward, a longtime memberof the congregation. “You’ve got toaccept the changes.”

Steward has been attending thechurch for 30 years, having comefrom Vancouver to serve as the assis-tant to the reverend. He attendedthe church’s 125th anniversary andis now chairing the 150th anniver-sary committee that’s planning twodays of events that will celebrate the150th anniversary of the PresbyterianChurch in New Westminster.

Activities will get underway atEmanuel Pentecostal Church (former-ly St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church)on Saturday, March 10 at 10 a.m.

“We will go down to the historicsite and do a little tour and someprayers,” Bruneau said. “They havereally respected the heritage site andkept that building amazingly old-fashioned looking. It’s a beautifulthing to walk through.”

An open house and an anniver-sary banquet are also being held atFirst Presbyterian Church on March10. Local historian Archie Miller willshare some reflections on the historyand ministry of the church.

The anniversary celebration con-tinues on Sunday, March 11 with spe-cial worship at the church.

“There is going to be six ministersof our past and present involved inthe worship,” Bruneau said. “It ispretty significant.”

Rev. Dr. Kevin Livingston will bepreaching and Rev. Dr. Cal Chambers,Rev. David Smith, Rev. Dr. TedSiverns, Rev. Desmond McConaghyand Bruneau will lead in wor-ship and in the celebration of HolyCommunion. The worship will befollowed by an anniversary lunch; ananniversary musical being held thatevening will wrap up the anniversaryfestivities.

“We are letting people know whatis going on and encouraging them toconnect back to the church,” Bruneausaid. “It’s good to say, you’re wel-come back again if you are still in thearea, or just come visit.”

Archie and Dale Miller of ASense of History Research Serviceshave written a historical overviewof the Presbyterian Church in New

Westminster. Their research indicatesthat Rev. Robert Jamieson came toBritish Columbia under the auspicesof the Canada Presbyterian Churchand organized a church in NewWestminster in March 1862.

“Presbyterians met and wor-shipped in these various venues until1863 when, just in time for Christmasof that year, they opened a church oftheir own,” wrote the Millers. “Thechurch was on Carnarvon Street,near the manse that had been erectedmuch earlier. This first Presbyterianchurch in the Royal City still standstoday, one of the city’s oldest build-ings. Today, the building that wasthe first Presbyterian church of 1863stands next to the new church of 1889,serving as a church hall for what isnow Emmanuel Pentecostal. Bothstructures, prominent and colourfulheritage buildings in the city, wereoriginally called St. Andrews.”

Jamieson would go on to startother Presbyterian churches in B.C.,including Nanaimo. While based inNew Westminster, he preached inother communities.

“He would preach here in themorning. He would (then) canoedown the Fraser to Richmond topreach,” Bruneau said. “He had quitean adventurous spirit.”

Bruneau considers the way the St.Andrews congregation responded to

the Great Fire in September 1898 tobe one of the church’s highlights inNew Westminster. The Presbyteriansoffered the use of their church to oth-ers who were impacted by the firethat tore through the downtown.

“The Baptist, the Methodistand the Anglican churches weredestroyed,” Bruneau said. “For thatera, denomination was so important.That was incredibly Christ-like. I amproud of our history in that sense.”

According to A Sense of HistoryResearch Services, the Presbyterianchurch had a strong presence in theuptown area in the early 1900s, in theform of St. Stephen’s Church, whichwas located at the corner of SeventhStreet and Fourth Avenue. In the late1940s, the Presbyterians had KnoxChurch in Sapperton, St. Aidan’s inthe West End, as well as the amal-gamation of the St. Andrews and St.Stephens’ congregations into FirstPresbyterian Church.

First Presbyterian Church’s con-gregation peaked in 1971/72, when ithad 568 members. Some of the resi-dents who attended its predecessorsof St. Stephens and St. Andrews havebeen with the church for decades,including a woman who sang in thechoir for 75 years until her recentmove into a care home.

Trim downwith Terri

AT DYNAMIC FITNESSWEEK 5

Hi and welcome back to “TrimDown With Terri” a 10 weekfitness program where I (LukeRamnath) will be training TerriRodger for the next 5 weeks atDynamic Health and Fitness tohelp her achieve her health andfitness goals.

For our first session I wentover Terri’s weekly plan tomake sure she was trainingwithout me at least 3 timesa week and to check she isdoing the right type of trainingby herself. I got her to dosome sprints (something shelet me know she hasn’t donefor over 20 years) and I thinkshe surprised herself. I usedmultidirectional sprints goingforwards, backwards, left andright which works all of the legmuscles and gave Terri’s legsand lungs the burn!

We are now at the half waypoint of the 10 week programso I did a few tests to seehow Terri is progressing andmake sure she is on track. Istarted by taking her bloodpressure, optimal BP is 120/80Terri’s read 118/73 which isvery good and shows that hercardiac system is improving. Ascore strength (deep stomachmuscle) was one of her maingoals I had her do the plankwhich is an exercise designed towork the core muscles. I timedhow long she could hold it for.Unbelievably she doubled hertime from 45 seconds only 5weeks ago to a very impressive

1 minute 33 seconds – it’s greatto see her making such amazingprogress. The core is such animportant muscle as it not onlyhelps to keep Terri’s lower backstrong, it also promotes goodposture and helps with balance.

We went over push up’s, Terrimanaged 1 on our first strengthtest now she can do 15 whichfar surpassed my expectations,she has managed in 5 weeks toincrease her upper body pushstrength by a whopping 1,400%.

After her great results we gotinto some training, I played acard game (black jack) withTerri to show her that fitnesscan be fun. I wrote down 10specific exercises from runningon the stairs to toe touch situp’s, if Terri won the hand shecould chose any exercise anddo less reps, if I won I couldchose the exercise and she didmore reps. I think Terri hasplayed black jack before as shewon most of the hands.

At Dynamic Health and Fitnesswe would love to help you withyour fitness goals so give us acall on 604-521-8746 to seehow we can help you.

Wedding PLANNERYour Guide tothe BIG DAY

Wondering what to do aboutflowers on your wedding day? CeliaChiang, of Floral Creations byCelia, offers the following advice:

Wedding flowers are probably oneof the most important aspects onyour special day. They bring freshscents, colour and life to your event.

Once you choose your colourtheme, you can ask your floristabout the types of flowers that arein season on your wedding day. Youcan import almost any type of flower

you like at any time of the year, ifyou have a large enough budget.

Most brides will choose localflowers. In B.C. we have the largestflower auction on the West Coastand a huge selection of flowers thatare grown in our local greenhouses.

When searching for your florist,ask friends or family members whocan refer you to someone they’veworked with in the past. You willdefinitely want to see their work andportfolio.

When you meet for a freeconsultation, you should bringpictures of flowers and bouquetsthat you love. It will give yourflorist a sense of what your styleis. During discussion, you will geta good feeling for their expertiseand whether you’d like to continueworking with them.

Make time to meet with a fewdifferent florists to compare pricing.Flowers should add up to roughly10 per cent of your total weddingbudget.

It’s fascinating howchanges in gardeningattitudes and mile-

stones in plant breedingare reflected in this year’sseed catalogue vegetableofferings.

For instance, organicseed is becoming so muchin demand that Veyseysis itemizing all its organiccatalogue seed in an extra150-item listing.

Our local SaltspringSeeds has always offeredorganics, but seeingorganics getting attentionin mainstream cataloguestoo is heartening.

Heirloom seed is moreoften featured and nowgets more prominentattention in catalogues.

These include top-per-formers such as the hard-ship-tolerant and prolificsquashes: Table Queenand Waltham Butternut.Another favourite isCylindra beets, whichover the years remain

easy to grow, a snap toslice and quick to harvestsince they tend to pushthemselves up out of thesoil.

Saltspring Seeds hasalways focusedon organicheirlooms.However inCanada-widecataloguesit’s good toremember thatjust becausesomethingis heirloomdoesn’t mean itwill do well inyour particularregion unless itwas developedthere.

For instance,warm weathercrops fromareas back east(heirloom ornot) can failmiserably herein B.C. Our summers aremostly cool. Theirs arevery warm indeed.

One of the most excit-ing developments inthe last few years is theadvent of blight-resistanttomatoes.

The Mountain Magiclarge-cherry tomato,which tastes good and

was so successful for melast year, is available inmany catalogues now.

Veyseys has hit theblight-resistant jackpotfor me this year with

MountainMagic, Defiantand PlumRegal.

The needsof containergardeners aregetting moreattention withdevelopmentof compact-size veg-etables. Theseinclude thehybrid Cucinocucumber fromDominion andfrom T&M issaid to be idealfor containersas is the PatioMix of tennis-ball-size egg-plants white,

deep purple and violet.For people with no

garden space whatsoever,seed-sprouting is one ofthe few ways of growingfresh salad material.

Dominion Seeds hasdevoted two whole pagesto seeds for sproutingplus a sprouter said toproduce sprouts in 72

hours.Runner beans are

always a great, flowerfuland edible privacy screenwhich can be grown incontainers for balconygardeners.

But they do need bees(wild or domestic) forpollination whereas polebeans don’t.

This means peoplewith pollination problemsor those who prefer thetaste of pole beans mayprefer the esthetics ofcoloured pods.

William Dam offersthree diverse pole beans:the purple Blauhilde, theyellow Neckargold and

the green-podded BlueLake.

More shallots aregradually becoming avail-able from seed. T&M areoffering three this year:Eschalion Zebrune is saidto store well and so isthe red-skinned Camelo,the third is the Prisma F1hybrid.

There are some oppor-tunities to diversify withzucchinis.

There are compactor bush zucchinis, asopposed to ‘open’ zuc-chinis and zucchinis suchas Anton (Veyseys) whichgrow on upright stems.

Other spineless zucchi-

nis have now joined theolder Spineless Beauty,type and round zucchinisapparently still have fol-lowers.

T&M also havean interesting takeon squash. The littleHooligan F1 hybrid isjust 7.5 cm by 5 cm).Apparently, one can sliceoff the top, remove theseeds, replace the top,microwave for four min-utes and eat. Good forpeople with (very) smallappetites.

Get laughsGetting old is nothing

to laugh at and yet laugh-ing at aging can make theinevitable so much easier.

Stop by the NewWestminster Public Libraryfor a few books and a cura-tive chuckle.

In Kick Up Your Heels …Before You’re Too Short toWear Them, humour guruLoretta LaRoche tells ushow to live a long, healthy,‘juicy’ life and that it’snever too late to start agingwell.

Roger Rosenblatt’s Rulesfor Aging are 58 gems offunny, wise and indispens-able advice.

Rule number 2: Nobodyis thinking about you.(They are thinking of them-selves – just like you.)

Local wit Eric Nicolkeeps us chuckling with hisOld is In: A Guide for AgingBoomers. Having forged theway he looks back from his80s and offers advice forthe boomer generation onhow to cope in the yearsahead.

With her characteristicdry sense of humor, NoraEphron, in I Feel Bad AboutMy Neck, provides a candid,

hilarious look at womenwho are getting older anddealing with what lifethrows at them.

ComicstripwriterNicoleHollander takes us out ofthe aging doldrums withher Tales of Graceful Agingfrom the Planet Denial.

Some boomers who takecare of aging parents findhumour in their situation.Welcome to the DepartureLounge is Meg Federico’shilarious and poignantmemoir about caring forher 80-year-old mother andher relatively new (andequally old) step-father intheir not so golden years.

Some writers use poet-ry to look wryly at aging,as did New Westminsterresident Pegeen McAskillin her collection Down theOther Side.

And in the well knownpoem Warning by JennyJoseph the narrator pro-claims “When I am an oldwoman, I shall wear pur-ple” and that she will floutsociety’s rules and live forherself.

However, perhaps likeher, we should practise alittle now so people are nottoo shocked when sudden-ly we’re old and start towear purple.

“One of the mostexciting devel-opments in thelast few yearsis the advent ofblight-resistanttomatoes. TheMountain Magic... was so suc-cessful for me.”

Table tennis takes on history

Burnaby table tennischampion Shirley Fu is upagainst the heavy hittersat the Sport B.C. athlete ofthe year awards.

The 16-year-oldCanadian women’s sin-gles champion is short-listed alongside Victoriadiver Emily Schmidt andCoquitlam golfer Jisoo Keelin the junior girls’ athletecategory at the Sport B.C.awards to be held at theRiver Rock Show Theatreon March 8.

Last year, Fu won theCanadian under-21 youthsingles title, while alsowinning the nationalwomen’s singles crown.

Fu knocked off IoulliaDegtiar, the highest rankedplayer in the country and12 years her senior, by twopoints in the tiebreaker inthe women’s final.

She also took gold insingles and doubles at theCanada Winter Games.

Fu is not just up againstworthy opponents, theBurnaby North honoursstudent is also fightinghistory.

Golfers have won thejunior girls’ award forthe past two years, whiledivers Olympic medallistBlythe Hartley and PanAm Games silver medalwinner, Paige Gordon,were junior athlete of theyear winners in 2000 and1989, respectively.

Other junior awardwinners through the yearsinclude former TorontoBlue Jays baseball play-er Adam Loewen, NHLhockey players ScottNeidermayer, Paul Kariya

and Joe Murphy, tennisstar Helen Kelesi, Burnabyhigh jumper Debbie Brilland figure skating legendKaren Magnussen.

“It’s giving me moreconfidence and the desireto put more time into it,”said the Grade 11 BurnabyNorthstudent. “InCanada,table tennis is not the mostpopular sport, so for me, ifI could win this award, itwould lift the importanceof table tennis.”

Schmidt, just 13, wonall three titles at the juniornationals last year, sweep-ing the one- and three-metre, and tower in thegirls’ C finals in Montreal.She later representedCanada at the Pan Amjunior championships.

The 16-year-old Keel

was equally brilliant, win-ning the juvenile divisionat the Canadiangirls’ champi-onships,aswellas a WesternC a n a d aS u m m e rGames teamgold medal.

Keel wasthe top ama-teur on theCN Canadianwomen’s tour,with a season-best top-threefinish at theB.C. stop backin May. Shealso won theFuture LinksPacific champi-onships.

Currently Fu is work-

ing towards earning a spoton the Canadian national

team at theu p c o m i n gOlympic tri-als later thismonth.

If success-ful, she willgo head-to-head withTeam U.S.A.in a NorthAmerican chal-lenge match-up prior tothe SummerO l y m p i cGames inL o n d o n ,England.

It is excitingtimes for Fu,who up until

last week had never even

heard of the Sport B.C.award.

“I was really excited.I was jumping on mybed,” said Fu after sheread the email stating shewas nominated for theannual award. “I’m reallyproud.”

In the past, Fu has beena recipient of a B.C. pre-mier’s award, “but I thinkthis is bigger,” she said. “Ithink it would be a stepup for me and push meharder.”

The annual Sport B.C.awards dinner – Canada’slongest running sport rec-ognition event – will hon-our the province’s best ath-letes, coaches and officialsin 17 separate categories

Tickets are available athttp://sportbc.com/

Another honour: Canadian women’s table tennis champion Shirley Fu is one of three finalists for the Sport B.C.junior girls’ athlete of the year award on March 8.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Feb. 12 - 18, 2012★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: You are going throughmassive changes (2009-2023), especially in yourworldly status, career and relationships. The questionis: will they be beneficial changes, or otherwise?To see and follow the best future, to nudge thosechanges toward the beneficial, the most importantthing you can do is hope, understand and see lifeand people as positive. This week gives you thathope, and a road sign to successful changes/results,especially Sunday afternoon to Tuesday midday,and late Thursday night through Saturday. Watch,observe, think! Wisdom (love?) comes, Wednesday/Thursday.Taurus April 20-May 20: Keep striving. One lastbig effort could push a project toward success.Tackle chores early Sunday. This eve to Tuesdaymorning offers challenges but also opportunities– seek the new, the fresh, be outgoing, makecontacts, negotiate, find common ground. Don’t seekagreement Tuesday daytime to pre-dawn Thursday,unless you’re prepared to give everything, or to makea spiritual/psychological sacrifice. Avoid collusion,skirting the law, and gossip-inducing situations. Goodinvestments, research Thursday.Wisdom, gentle love,travel, law, culture bless you Friday/Saturday.Gemini May 21-June 20: Start getting your affairsin order, start any crucial projects – a slowdownwill occur in about one month. On the one hand,there’s friendly romance – more correctly, the hopeof romance. On the other hand, a financial step, aninvestment (or debt program) or even a sexual link –these will “overrule” romance this week. Until 2023,remember: sex, money and lifestyle will defeat light,friendly, social romance and fun, non-binding loveaffairs; but heavy romance (infatuation, “the worldwell lost” romance) will defeat all these. This remainsa puzzle until October: then you’ll see.

Cancer June 21-July 22:Complete any investment,financial, research, health or lifestyle projects thisweek. Next week starts a month of intellectual, travel,love and cultural involvements. Meanwhile, be home,hug the kids Sunday morning. This afternoon toTuesday afternoon brings pleasure, beauty, romance,creative urges and a wee winning streak. You mightface a deep, subtle, almost unseen conflict betweena relationship and your ambitions midweek. Honourthe relationship. Tackle chores, not ambitions.Relationships confront you Friday/Saturday: embracethem – others support you, deeply!Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Cooperate, negotiate,chase new horizons, opportunities. DON’T fight oroppose. Get out Sunday morning: garage sales, useditems offer bargains. But return home (or sink intonature, parks, a nice restaurant) Sunday afternoonto Tuesday afternoon – you can accomplish goodthings, especially in plumbing, or talks about love,trust, domestic chore-splitting. Your romantic sidesurges Tuesday eve to Thursday eve. Chores orduties might interfere, not with romance, but with itslong-term future – if so, know chores/duties will win.Tackle these, and health concerns, Friday/Saturday.Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: It’s your last weekof work, drudgery and health concerns. Soon, amonth of new horizons and exciting relationshipsbegins. Meanwhile, work hard, clear the decks forfuture opportunities. Buy/sell Sunday a.m. Later,through Tuesday, immerse yourself in errands,communications, short trips, and casual contacts(one of whom holds vast hidden significance) – betterMonday than Tuesday. Head for home sweet homemidweek. Thursday eve to Saturday, you might haveto choose between romance and sex, speculationand investment, creativity and research: choose thefirst of each pair.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: This is your last week ofromance,finecreative surges,risk-takingandwinning– soon, a month of chores begins. Your energy andcharisma attract attention Sunday, but much of it ismuted, deep. Chase money Sunday eve to Tuesday– make purchases Monday, not Tuesday. Errands,travel, calls, paperwork and details fill Wednesday/Thursday – your luck’s good, but a recent, promisingrelationship or opportunity might hit a barrier ofmoney, crime or “different sex.” Domestic matters,real estate and security flow well Friday/Saturday:avoid big relationship commitments.Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Rest up Sunday. Yourenergy soars this p.m. to Tuesday – a good time totackle domestic concerns. You might receive newsof an upcoming pleasurable event or contact – oneyou know holds a romantic potential. But before thatevent comes, you might face, midweek, a falling outwith someone who wants you to remain a partner,or with a co-worker who finds your communicationsunsettling. You’re in command, but be understanding.We should never alienate the defeated. Chase money,buy and sell Wednesday/Thursday. Talk, travel benefityou Friday/Saturday. Compliment, say the rightthing!Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: You’re enjoyably busy– talk, write, travel, perform paperwork and errands.Sunday morning supports your hopes, but retreatfor a sweet rest this p.m. to Tuesday – contemplate,plan. Your energy bursts forth Tuesday eve throughThursday – tackle big things. Buy, sell, seek moremoney Friday/Saturday. VIPs back off, give you room.In the weeks ahead, romance (or nature’s beauty)sweetens, yet a partner or lover retreats inward – thismight signal a money or possessiveness problem,or perhaps he/she is leading you into a beneficialnesting phase. Embrace slowness!

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: A social whirl fillsSunday eve to Tuesday – your optimism and popularityrise, a wish might come true (about a trip, a call, mailor a contact). Invite others to an entertainment venue.Many stale or misguided things in your life are beingcrushed or eliminated this decade – but the one thingsure to grow is your social life. Give it a hand: passivityloses! Retreat, rest and contemplate Tuesday eve toThursday night – all’s easy, smooth, but realize adraconian approach crushes domestic affection. Yourenergy and charisma soar Friday/Saturday – you’llattract good things.Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Your energy, magnetismand effectiveness continue to ride a wave ofopportunity and success – be confident, make thingshappen. Good money ideas will come soon: waituntil next week to put them in play. Conversationsand friendly meetings lead to affection, grace andfavour (but midweek’s gossip might squelch anaffair). Sunday morning’s idealistic, dreamy, but getambitious this p.m. and Monday. Friends gatherTuesday eve to Thursday night – get out,mingle, enjoyyour popularity! A wish could come true. Shop, earnmoney and pursue sensual links Friday/Saturday.Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: This is your last weekof weariness, health concerns and quietude. Feb. 18begins a month of high energy, success and attention.Meanwhile, plan, contemplate, be spiritual andcharitable. Sunday begins with mysteries, but soonflows into a mellow,wise feeling that fills Monday andTuesday. Be ambitious midweek – it’s a lucky timefor prestige and your career, but barriers exist wheremoney (compensation?) enters, especially betweenyou and someone who’s been cultivating you, or afriend. Speaking of friends, your social life quickensFriday/Saturday. The future brightens!
