Harvest Power’s plans to expand its recycling plantand its current operations are two separate issues, says acompany official.
Representatives of Urban Wood Waste Recyclers Ltd.,a division of Harvest Power, recently sought city council’ssupport for an application for a federal grant to help thecompany expand its operation in the Braid industrial area.The business accepts construction and demolition wastematerials and processes them for recycling.
Mike Fournier,regional vice-presi-dent of HarvestPower, said it’s abit of “apples andoranges” to linkthe current opera-tion and the pro-posed expansion.He said the com-pany’s appearanceat city council wasonly to get its sup-port for a GreenInfrastructureFunding applica-tion to the federalgovernment.
“That is way offin the future,” he said about the expansion.
Fournier said the proposed expansion has nothing to dowith its existing operation. He said Harvest Power recog-nizes it needs to get support for its existing operation andto prove it can be a good neighbour.
“It’s fair to say that we will fix the issues,” he said.According to Fournier, Harvest Power hasn’t yet defined
the scope of what the expansion would do or what it wouldlook like.
City council agreed to provide a letter supporting thecompany’s application for federal funding to expand itsconstruction and demolition recovery facilities in NewWestminster and create a state-of-the-art facility.
“The city is in support of the expansion of the construc-tion and demolition waste recovery aspect of the operation
only,” said a letter from Mayor Wayne Wright to HarvestPower. “Future plans for processing recycled plastics andfor the construction of a biomass energy plant are not sup-ported at this time since the city requires further informa-tion and would request a thorough public process regard-ing these proposed new initiatives. The city’s support forthe proposed expansion of the construction and demolitionrecovery facilities is subject to compliance with all city andregional regulations and policies.”
According to Harvest Power, the new state-of-the-artfacility would divert construction and demolition wastefrom the landfills and would help the region reach its wastediversion goals. The U.S.-based company would contribute$10.5 million toward the project and hopes to get $5.5 mil-lion in federal funding.
Steve Rooney, president of Westcoast Cylinders, thinksit’s ironic that a company that promotes itself as a greenbusiness has allowed dust particles from its recyclingoperation to shower down on its neighbours for years. He
wants all existing issues addressed before any expansion isconsidered.
“Clean up the existing mess,” he said. “Once they provethey can handle this, then consider moving forward.”
Harvest Power is proposing a $16 million facility toreclaim, reuse and recycle construction and demolitionwaste, and to recover waste plastics and convert them intocrude oil. The company noted that one of the challenges inprocessing construction and demolition waste is dealingwith plastics that are frequently too dirty to get recycledand therefore go to landfills, so the proposed plastics recy-cling operation would convert those plastics to 4,500 gal-lons of ultra-sweet crude oil a day.
“Biofuel could be used in a combined heat and powerplant to be built on the premises,” said the company’s factsheet. “It would provide district heating to the adjacentRoyal Columbian Hospital and other nearby users whilethe electricity will be fed to the city’s utility to increase theamount of renewable energy in the regional grid.”
Don’t mix ‘apples and oranges’, VP saysHarvest Power regional vice-presidentsays company will address current issuesat plant, but it’s wrong to connect presentsituation with plans for future expansionBY THERESA MCMANUS [email protected]

It’s now up to Hume to increase enrolmentHume Park Elementary School parents
heaved big sighs of relief Tuesday nightafter New Westminster school trusteesvoted unanimously to give them until nextMarch to increase their enrolment num-bers.
“Overall, it’s a very good outcome,” saidparent Nikki Binns. “We’re excited becausewe have a lot of ideas on how to increase
the numbers and now we can get going onthat.”
Trustees supported superintendent JohnWoudzia’s recommendation that the districtprovide the Hume Park school communitythe opportunity to develop educationallyand fiscally sound plan, with support fromdistrict staff, to increase enrolment at theschool, with that report to be presented tothe board by March 31, 2012.
But Binns said she was disappointed inhow some trustees reduced the Hume Park
school community to just numbers.“We’re a vibrant school community and
I found it disappointing, even disgusting, tohave us talked about as just numbers,” shesaid. “That type of discussion should nothave happened and it shows no respect forour (Hume Park) community.”
Binns, who told The Record Wednesdaymorning that she will be running forNew Westminster school board in thisNovember’s civic election, said she wasparticularly disappointed in trustee Brent
Atkinson, who moved the motion in Aprilto look into a closure/consolidation ofHume Park.
“Brent says he’s disappointed that halfof the community left (after 2009), but thatwas the third time they threatened to closeus down. ... Most of us stayed after the firstand second time. … I think he should bedisappointed in how they treated us.”
Atkinson said he has no problem defend-ing his position.
New Westminster policeare still looking for wit-nesses or anyone withinformation about theApril cement truck crash atEast Columbia Street andHolmes Street that left aCoquitlam man dead.
In a press releaseissued Thursday, Sgt. GaryWeishaar said the investiga-tion is ongoing, but detec-tives working the case areappealing for more infor-mation from anyone whomay have been in the areawhen the crash occurredaround 11:30 a.m. on April19.
Killed in the crash wasCoquitlam resident andnew father Mark Holmes,who was on his way topick up his wife and infantson for a doctor’s appoint-ment.
The truck was com-ing down a steep hill onHolmes Street when it ranthrough a red light at theintersection and T-bonedHolmes’ southbound carthrough a cement barricadeand then tumbled down asteep drop-off into LowerHume Park.
Anyone who can offerinformation is asked tocall the New Westminster
New Westminster policehave arrested two men andseized what they say is acache of stolen goods takenfrom parked cars.
Included among thegoods are two digital cam-eras loaded with photos,which police would like tosee returned to their right-ful owners.
Police made an earlymorning arrest on May 7in the 900 block of EwenAvenue, where police saythe thefts likely occurred.
The first camera is ablack Sony Cybershot DSC-W120 with a red leathercamera case. The secondis a 10-megapixel FujifilmFinepix S1000d.
Photos on the camer-as include shots taken atthe 2010 Olympic TorchRun near QueensboroughMiddle School on Feb. 9,2010, various weddingphotos that feature anapproximately eight-year-old white girl, as well asphotos from a Europeanvacation taken in March of2010 and photos of a white
Labrador mix dog.Other seized items
include numerous pairs ofsunglasses, soft drinks, aGPS system, MP3 players,cell phones, an electronicrearview mirror, AC char-gers, coins and cash.
In a release from NewWestminster Police, Sgt.Gary Weishaar said theincident highlights whyresidents need to take cau-tion with what they leavein their vehicles and where
they park.“We wish to remind the
public to remove all valu-ables from their vehicles,secure their vehicles andpark in either a securedgarage or an area that iswell lit,” he said.
Weishaar said the cam-era’s owners or anyonewith information about thethefts is asked to call NewWestminster police Const.Arloa Popke at 604-525-5411.

“I’m taken aback byNikki Binns,” he told TheRecord Wednesday morn-ing. “She moved two of herchildren to Burnaby andshe’s going to run for NewWestminster school trustee?… I find that obnoxious.That’s a question I wouldask.”
On the issue of HumePark, Atkinson said heremains concernedabout a school withunder 30 studentsgoing ahead, butTuesday night’svote gives areaparents an oppor-tunity to propthose numbers up.
“I’d love to seetwo classes of 20students there inSeptember,” hesaid. “All I’m ques-tioning is the educationalviability of running oneclass of 16 students in K-1-and-2 and a class of ninefor Grades 3, 4 and 5. …And at a time when we’vegot big classes all acrossthe district, is this fair? As a
trustee, I have to look at thedistrict as a whole.”
In 2009, school trusteesvoted 4-3 to keep the schoolopen with enrolment at 62students. Atkinson was thedeciding vote. In April ofthis year, Atkinson movedthe motion to look at clo-sure/consolidation becausethe numbers had fallento under 30 and the dis-trict was looking at run-
ning a school inSeptember thathad as few as 23students in theentire school.
Trustee CaseyCook said hevoted to give theHume Park com-munity more time,but he’s going toneed to see prog-ress.
“I don’t want toput a number on the table,”Cook said of what enrol-ment figure he would liketo see. “But the numbersneed to increase substan-tially. There has to be signif-icant movement upward.”
Cook said Hume Park
parents have shown a will-ingness to work with thedistrict, and he believesthey will get the numbersup.
“I think there’s reason foroptimism,” he said. “Theysaid they’re ready to workwith us and we’re ready towork with them.”
School board chairMichael Ewen told TheRecord Wednesday morningthat while the board has totake its share of the blamefor causing uncertainty forHume Park parents, it’stime to look toward thefuture.
“We need to let the com-munity heal and work withthem to find ways for thatschool to work,” he said.“We need to see growthand we will work with theHume Park community toget that growth.”
Trustee Lisa Grahamalso expressed optimismfor the future of the smallSapperton area school.
“This is good news forthe Hume Park communi-ty,” she said.
One of the things trust-
ees learned Tuesday nightwas that even if they votedagainst Woudzia’s recom-mendations, the schoolwould have been openfor business in Septemberbecause the district hadno other motions on thetable to formally close theschool.
The Tuesday night votecame after Woudzia rec-ommended in his 15-pagePowerPoint presentationthat there be no consoli-dation of Hume Park withRichard McBride and thatthe district be given 10months, until March 31,2012, to develop a thought-ful, comprehensive plan.
Woudzia told The Recordthat if there was one theme
he kept hearing from peo-ple when they talked aboutthe proposed consolidationor closure of Hume ParkElementary, it wastime.
While manypeople felt a 45-day consultationperiod wasn’tenough time, otherpeople felt HumePark hadn’t beengiven enough timeto increase enrol-ment figures fromitscurrentnumbersin the mid 20s.
And in terms of the long-term, Woudzia was hear-ing that decisions made toaddress short-term con-cerns could have negative
long-term impacts.“These are the ideas that
came out in our dialogueswith the community,”
Woudzia said.“These were therecurringthoughtsand I wanted toaddress those inmy report.”
Woudzia reiter-ated that while hisrecommendationsplaced an empha-sis on educationalconsiderations,the district alsohas to be cogni-
zant of the financial andoperational considerationsof running a small school.
“We have to be fiscallysound,” he said.

There’s no doubt that there’s some-thing idyllic and picturesque about per-fectly manicured lawns, lush with greengrass.
Perhaps watching thosesprinklers wave back andforth reminds us of someidealized childhood momentwhere we sat on the lawn,popsicle in hand, with the summerahead of us and nothing to do but enjoyourselves.
In truth, there’s nothing idyllic or
picturesque about the massive amountof water that’s wasted each summer onlocal lawns.
Consider that, according to MetroVancouver’s water depart-ment, one lawn sprinkler willuse as much water in an houras 25 toilet flushes, five loadsof laundry and five dishwash-
er loads combined. Some people leavetheir sprinklers running hour after hour,day after day, when most lawns requirelittle more than a single hour each week
(or can simply be left to go dormant). Nowonder that water usage doubles aroundthis time of year – right as seasonal rain-fall is at its lowest.
But it’s not just a question of sup-ply and demand. It’s also an issue ofcreating sustainable habits and treatingresources with respect and care.
A time will come when future gen-erations will look back at the way wetreated our water supply and shake theirheads in confusion and dismay. Longshowers every day? Washing clothes
after they’ve only been worn once?Letting sprinklers run for hours, in themiddle of the day?
Such behaviour will seem ludicrousto our children’s children – and, frankly,should seem ludicrous to us now.
There are good reasons why sprink-ling regulations get put in placeeach year (for a rundown on MetroVancouver’s rules, see page 11) – and nogood reason why any one should feelcomfortable just “bending the rules” alittle.
Black: vote ‘yes’ toget rid of HST
My friends and neigh-bours in NewWestminster will soon
receive their HST referendumpackages.
Like many of you, I am goingto be standing up for what isright and voting “Yes” to scrapthe Liberals’ HST.
Why? Because if we keep theHST we are going to pay moreand get less in health care, edu-cation and other servi-ces. It is a massive taxshift onto the backs offamilies already strug-gling to make endsmeet.
While the B.C. Liberal gov-ernment is spending millions ofyour tax dollars trying to save itsown political hide, it cannot con-ceal the fact that the HST costsfamilies more because manymore things are taxed. Withthe HST, you are paying morefor everything from haircuts torestaurant meals, from fees forchildren’s sports to big ticketitems like home repairs.
I heard from one NewWestminster family who budgetscarefully and keeps track ofevery penny. With four activechildren, they calculate that theHST is costing them $1,000 moreper year, money they don’t have.
These costs reflect the HST onitems that weren’t taxed beforethe B.C. Liberals introduced theHST.
A Yes vote in the referendummeans returning to zero provin-cial tax on many, many servicesand products. Surely that is put-
ting families first!There are many examples of
how the HST is costing familiesmore in their day-to-day daylives, such as an extra seven percent on basic cable TV and tele-phone, vitamins, parking, news-papers and magazines and an icecream cone after a soccer game.
Even the family pet can’tescape the HST’s clutches – vet-erinarian care is seven per cent
more. Many work-ing families in NewWestminster usedaycare and one ofmy constituents has
focused my attention on how theHST affects that.
Because daycares are chargedHST on most supplies andexpenses, it makes this necessitymore expensive.
Non-profit daycares feel thepinch too, as HST is chargedon building rent, forcing highercosts which are reflected inhigher fees.
Seniors and families with low-er incomes will pay a higher per-centage of their incomes on theHST. And that percentage willbe paid on real necessities, notluxury items.
Meanwhile, local restaurantshave suffered thanks to the HST,and a number have closed sincethe tax came in. In November,The Orange Room on SixthStreet cited high rent, overheadand the HST as factors in itsdemise. Twelve people lost theirjobs.
That’s just one example of a
OUR VIEWTHE RECORD
Local NDP must stand for B.C.Dear Editor:
Will Fin Donnelly and Peter Julian stand up forB.C.?
Now that the NDP is mostly Quebecers, JackLayton is expected to speak out for Quebec. But thisposes a problem for Western NDPers.
Just one example gives a hint of the problem.Harper is proposing to add more seats in the Houseof Commons for fast-growing provinces such asB.C.
Some provinces like B.C. have increased theirshare of Canada’s population, but others, like Quebecand PEI have not. Representation in the House ofCommons is supposed to be based on “one person,one vote.” Each Canadian’s vote should have thesame value no matter where one lives. B.C. votershave been getting short changed.
Harper proposes to distribute seats in the Housemore fairly, and in doing so award B.C. seven moreseats. Naturally, Quebec objects. But if Quebec getsits way, representation in the House will remainunfair.
Will our NDPers back what’s fair for B.C. or willthey knuckle under to Layton?

We have this ridiculous three-minuteidle rule and yesterday coming back fromHome Depot along the United Boulevardextension, I idled away for 25 minutesbefore I actually made it to the lights atBraid and Brunette.
Many of us use this crossing to get toUnited Boulevard and the way it existsmakes no sense.
Pattullo Bridge should be six lanes andwe can choose to make it four lanes afterit is built, until traffic demands it to beopened to six – or should we waste moremoney in years to come adding to thebridge as we did with the Port Mann?
The Cassiar Connector was built toaccommodate six lanes and we currentlyuse it as four.
In this city we are space limited and sostacking highways, tunnels and bridgesis our only option. As Surrey grows to a
million people you can rest assured ourtraffic will only get worse unless we havethe foresight to build in preparation for afive-million person GVRD. We should betrying to get the traffic through with mini-mal impact but instead we have createdbottlenecks at every conceivable corner ofour city.
All the protest I hear seems to be com-ing from a bunch of people with no fore-sight and a pipe dream of living in a quietlittle neighbourhood void of vehicles.
If you were to think of stacking roadsfour lanes east, four lanes west with apark on top you might get your wish butto think you can make traffic through ourtown go away by making pinch points inthe system is not the foresight of peoplewith realistic vision. It is possible to keepthe traffic moving and lots of it if we doit right.
We need to see a plan with a big pic-ture including all our community leadersand associations and visionaries with bigcity solutions for a New Westminster thatwants to maintain its small town feel.
Check out Boston’s Big Dig and if you’renot impressed by what is possible you needto move to small town Saskatchewan.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
small business done inby the HST. I’m sure youknow others. One smallbusiness person told methe HST adds up to $750a month -- the differencebetween making a modestprofit and a loss.
The Liberal party isgetting increasingly moredesperate in its efforts tosell the HST and spendingmore and more of yourtax dollars to sell this taxshift to B.C. residents. Evenwhen ordinary men andwomen from every areaof this province formeda grassroots effort andsigned petitions to force areferendum on the HST, theLiberals wouldn’t listen.But then, that’s what wehave come to expect froma government that lied tothe voters about its plans tobring in the HST in order toget elected. A new premierdoesn’t change anything.
Two months ago,Premier Christy Clark said:“We aren’t going to be talk-ing about trying to reducethe HST by a point or twobefore the referendum. Imean, I think people willsee that as buying themwith their own money.”
True to form for herLiberal government, Clarkwent back on her word andhas now done exactly whatshe said she wouldn’t do.
We all have a chance
to send this governmenta message on fairnessand accountability. Thepeople of B.C. know thefundamental flaw in thistax is that it takes billionsof tax dollars from work-ing families and gives it toB.C.’s largest corporations.We were first told it was“revenue neutral” meaningit wouldn’t add more taxesto families and wouldn’tboost the government’s cof-fers. Clark and the Liberalswere forced to admit thisis untrue. Even they nowadmit families will paymore and large corpora-tions will pay less. If thegovernment succeeds inselling the HST, it willreceive about $5.3 billionin 2014-15, paid entirelyfrom average BritishColumbians. Corporationswill pay almost noth-ing. I don’t think that isfair, and I’m betting NewWestminster residents don’teither.
So desperate is theLiberal party to win thisreferendum and slitherout of the nightmare theHST has become for them,they have abandoned allpretences of fair play andare spending millions ofour tax dollars to convinceBritish Columbians to voteto keep the HST. I remindyou, this is your money.I’m sure you would farrather see it spent on health
care so we don’t haveemergency room medi-cine practised in the TimHortons’ outlet at RoyalColumbian Hospital.
The premier promisedto put in place third partyspending limits on adver-tising by large corporations– another broken promise.The group campaigningagainst the HST has onlyreceived $250,000 to makeits argument to scrap thetax while big business isspending much, muchmore to persuade the pub-lic to keep it.
One last thing. Becauseof the wording of the HSTquestion, it requires a Yesvote to scrap the HSTand a No vote to keep it.I know this is confusing,and someone more cyn-ical than I might say it isdeliberate. Remember tovote Yes for more moneyin the pockets of ordinaryfamilies, Yes for a break forsmall businesses, Yes for astronger economy and Yesfor sending a message thatdemocracy counts.
We won’t be fooled, nomatter how much of ourown money is spent try-ing to do just that. TommyDouglas, Canada’s greatestCanadian, often said: ”Foolme once, shame on you.Fool me twice, shame onme!”
Dawn Black is the NDPMLA for New Westminster.

Sapperton parents are being askedfor their thoughts on the types of pro-grams needed for families on the eastside of the city.
The New Westminster early child-hood development committee’sSapperton Action Team is currentlysurveying parents to find out the pro-grams, services and support needs offamilies living on the east side of thecity. The east side is being consideredfor the city’s next child developmenthub, which is a site that includesa licensed child-care program andother child/family programs.
“Having one place for Sapperton
families to go to makes so muchsense,” said Marjorie Staal, executivedirector of New Westminster FamilyPlace and co-chair of the commit-tee. “Being able to walk to servicesand meet your neighbours or friendsthere is priceless.”
The New Westminster early child-hood development committee notesthat many parents living on the eastside of New Westminster (the areaeast of McBride Boulevard) currentlytravel across town or into neighbour-ing communities to access programsthat support their children, such aschild care, parent-tot programs orafter-school activities.
Lynda Brummit, a consultantworking on an early child develop-ment hub for families and childrenon the east side of New Westminster,said there are currently few services orprograms situated in neighbourhoodsin that part of New Westminster andthe committee would like parents’input on an east side child develop-
ment hub.According to the committee, 1,500
children aged 12 and under live onthe east side of New Westminster.
“We are looking to develop a hubor an area that a hub can be located,”Staal said. “It’s a process that will bein place when something becomesavailable.”
Parents and caregivers living onthe east side of New Westminsterare invited to take part in a surveythat will provide information aboutthe needs of their families and theneighbourhood they live in. The sur-vey, which must be completed byJune 27, is available at the children’sdepartment of the New WestminsterPublic Library (716 Sixth Ave.), thefront desk at Centennial CommunityCentre (65 East Sixth Ave.), Cap’sBicycle Shop (434 East Columbia St.)or via email at [email protected].

City wants input from familiesParents asked to offerideas on what programscould help families onthe city’s east sideBY THERESA MCMANUS [email protected]
Orca sculpturecoming to cityOrcas may not be native to the Fraser River, but one
will soon be calling New Westminster home.A member of the public contacted the mayor’s
office after obtaining one of the orca whale sculpturesthat was left over from the 2010 Winter Games andwas interested in donating the sculpture to the Cityof New Westminster. The owner requested that thesculpture be placed in the future Westminster PierPark.
“Council has decided to take the orca,” said GregMagirescu, the city’s manager of arts and culturaldevelopment. “Council felt it was a free gift and theywould like to have it.”
Magirescu said the city is in the process of put-ting together a public art advisory committee. Oneof its first roles will be to find a home for the orca– although there’s no shortage of work for committeemembers to get started on.
“There are 11 public art projects on my desk rightnow that need attention,” he said. “We need to definea vision for public art in the city.”
Magirescu said placement of public art will be oneof the areas that the committee will consider, so thecity doesn’t have a “plunk mentality” for the siting ofpublic art but has an overall vision.

A recent workshop has helped enticesome owners of heritage homes to puttheir houses on the New WestminsterHeritage Register.
On June 4, the City of New Westminsterhosted its first heritage register homesworkshop, which was a day-long workshop offered toowners of homes on NewWestminster’s heritage register.
The workshop included pre-sentations about various heri-tage home issues and displaytables showing products andservices offered in the commu-nity.
Julie Schueck, the city’s heri-tage planner, said the city hadto turn people away becausetheir homes weren’t amongthe 100-plus New Westminsterhomes listed on the register.
Homes listed on the heritageregister aren’t legally protected,but their inclusion on the reg-ister indicates that they haveheritage value or character.
More than 50 people attend-ed the June 4 workshop, whichcovered topics such as research-ing a heritage home, paintinga heritage house, uncoveringoriginal siding and shingles(and what to do if hazardousmaterials are found), discover-ing how a heritage house has evolved overtime, knowing the dos and don’ts of addi-tions to heritage houses, determining theoriginal colour scheme of the home and
restoring heritage wood windows.“At check-in, each person received a
paint sample brochure from Farrow &Ball Paints in a gift bag that could then beused for collecting other brochures andsamples through the afternoon,” Schueckwrote in an email to The Record. “In addi-tion, everyone put their name in a draw forimpressive goods and services donated bythe local business community.”
Schueck said the success of the work-shop was due in large part to the contri-butions of Jaser Painting and HeritageRestoration, architect Eric Pattison, DonaldLuxton and Associates, Basil Restoration
Ltd., Housewright Buildingand Restoration Ltd. and CityGreen Solutions.
“Six different professionalsvolunteered their time to giveone-hour presentations, somebringing tools of their tradeand samples, such as historicwood window frames, in orderto show techniques and tipsfor the care of heritage homes,”she wrote. “There were alsovery informative power pointpresentations on various top-ics.”
Tourism New Westminster,the New Westminster HeritagePreservation Society and theNew Westminster HeritageFoundation set up displays.The New Westminster Museumand Archives also had a boothat the event.
Schueck said the city want-ed to find a way of giving backto individuals who have puttheir homes on the heritageregister, and to get more peo-ple interested in placing their
homes on the heritage register.The City of New Westminster expects to
be adding four new homes to the heritageregister as a result of the workshop.

“I know of people who can’t get intoNew Westminster on United Boulevard,so they have to get over to Lougheed andgo through Maillardville,” he told theCoquitlam NOW. “We’re going to greatlengths now to try and solve some of theseconcerns, because we have to find alter-native routes other than our city’s mainstreet. We want our main street to be aboutshopping and pedestrian-related activities,and we don’t want to be a freeway.”
Wright said that’s the same problem thatNew Westminster is considering regardingthe United Boulevard extension’s impactsin this city.
“Give me a break,” Wright said. “That
issue is exactly what the UBE would bedoing if we didn’t put these other thingsin place.”
Wright said the City of New Westminsterhas always said it would only supportthe United Boulevard extension if mitiga-tion measures were done along the fullNorth Fraser Perimeter Road corridor inNew Westminster. In New Westminster,the North Fraser Perimeter Road wouldstretch from the Queensborough Bridge toUnited Boulevard.
With more than 450,000 vehicles travel-ling in the city each day, Wright said thecity wasn’t prepared to support the UnitedBoulevard extension unless it was doneproperly.

It’s that time of yearagain – the sun has arrived,the temperature is rising,and watering regulationsare back in place.
From now until theend of September, localhomeowners can watertheir lawns between 5and 9 a.m. on set days:even-numbered addresseson Monday, Wednesdayand Saturday, and odd-numbered addresses onTuesday, Thursday andSunday. The early wateringtime is intended to limitsprinkling to the time ofday when water evapora-tion is least likely to occur.
According to MetroVancouver, which regulateswater usage in the region,most lawns require onlyan hour of sprinkling perweek. Water usage doublesat this time of year, mostlydue to outdoor use.
Restrictions don’t applyto watering vegetable andflower gardens, or shrubsand trees. Other recreation-al water uses, such as fill-ing an outdoor pool, arealso permitted.
For more information onwater conservation, ideason natural lawn mainte-nance and more informa-tion about regulations –including exemptions andnon-residential restrictions,see the website at www.metrovancouver.org.

Checking in: New Westminster Frasers manager John Wojcik (left) talks with rookie pitchers Robert Arnold, Ed Joyce, Brad Rehn and Lee Sigman. Wojcik wasone of three managers for the team in its only season of existence – and known as the loudest. He would routinely order his pitchers to throw at hitters.

There is a timeless beauty about baseball, puristssay, as one of the few pastimes played withoutthe aid of a clock. It was a case of fortuitous
timing, however, that will lead to a blend of baseballand comedy on a New Westminster stage this month,because it truly couldn’t happen any other way.
There’s no rational reason for a play about aroguish minor league team to be performed by anon-profit production company headed by an off-Broadway actress versed primarily in Shakespeare.
But there was little about the New WestminsterFrasers that ever fit a script either. As theShakespearean actress said herself, it’s Bull Durhamall over again.
Any overview about the history of the pro gamein the Lower Mainland could easily have over-looked the Frasers. In 1974, seven years before JustinMorneau was born in a city not far from the home ofJeff Francis, an independent Single A team was born.The team had a short, undistinguished life, not wor-thy of rewriting Northwest League history.
The Frasers – as much a lab experiment for someof the few who went on to a big-league career as theywere a refuse for outcasts who were prepared to keep
their hopes alive by playing for $300 a month, livingat the local YMCA and working as both players andgroundskeepers at Queen’s Park Stadium.
Years later, the only way to remember the city’sonly brush with baseball came in the form of abook on the Frasers published last summer by KenMcIntosh, a 62-year-old retired New Westminsterpolice officer who admits his strengths lie less inwriting and more on forensics.
But what the Frasers represented to McIntosh andco-author/playwrightRod Drown has becomeBurning Up the Infield, atwo-act play to be stagedat 2 p.m. on June 12 atDouglas College by CityStage New West.
“I spent five minutespaging through the scriptand said ‘it looks like acomedy,’” Frasers generalmanager Dean Taylorsaid.
Though it seemeddifferent at thetime, the Frasers
indeed were a comedy waiting to happen. Taylor,then 22, ran the team with a friend, Mike Manning,completing a college degree in sports managementfor what has become a long career as vice-presidentof the Kansas City Royals.
The team lasted eight months. Each day was anadventure.

Telling a forgotten tale: Ken McIntosh, left and Rod Drown, right, are the co-authors of a book about the 1974New Westminster Frasers baseball team. Renée Bucciarelli, centre, is the artistic director of City Stage New West– which is staging a play based on the book this weekend at Douglas College.

Sports inthe day was Ernie McLean and theNew Westminster Bruins, along withthe lacrosse Salmonbellies, next doorat Queen’s Park Arena.
“I don’t think (the Frasers) mar-keted the team that well. I didn’tsee many ads,” said McIntosh, whospent $4,000 to print 1,000 copies ofhis book.
While many players on the hometeam lived at the YMCA – a goodthing considering an area near thereception desk was the team’s firstfront office – visiting players dressedfor games at their hotel. A goodnight was when the umpires showedup for work.
The introduction of the desig-nated hitter a year earlier did nothelp many careers. One outfielder,Charlie Beech, a blond Californiasurfer dude who lived in the backof a Volkswagen van, came after thebeat writer with the now-defunct
New Westminster Columbian witha bat when he was described in thepaper as the “designated out.”
While rivals like theBellingham Dodgers wereknown for
the players they devel-oped, such as future bigleaguers Rick Sutcliffeand Pedro Guerrero, theFrasers became less of apath to future stardomand more of a dead end.
The only local player tobenefit was Rob Arnold,a Richmond pitcher wholater ran Baseball B.C. for23 years before his pass-ing. The most notable ofthe Frasers’ three man-agers was John Wojcik,recalled in the book forgetting into shovingmatches with umpires.
All of what tookplace that year would have becomehearsay without McIntosh, a self-described baseball nut who plans towrite another book on B.C.’s majorleaguers.
None of it would also be broughtto the stage without a chance meet-ing in a Starbucks by Drown witha Shakespearean actress who wasputting up a poster promoting a City
Stage performance.City Stage artistic
director Rene Bucciarellisomehow saw the meritsof a theatrical perfor-mance about a slapstickbaseball team.
“Rod and I both havea very corny sense ofhumour,” Bucciarellisaid. “We don’t have aPulitzer Prize-winningplay here, but whatwe have is charmingenough to tell this veryfunny story. This isNew Westminster’s BullDurham.”
There’s plenty ofsubplots to go around.
A focus of Burning Up the Infieldtook place long before the arrival ofDavid Suzuki.

The team didn’t go upin smoke that day, but thestadium almost did.
The narrative for theplay will be in the voiceof Glyn Lewis, formerColumbian sports editorwho wrote critically aboutthe Frasers, who will beplayed by longtime localactor Blu Mankuma.
“Maybe it can be saidwe found the humour ofthat team’s short history,”says Drown. “People willhave to close their eyes,open their ears and imag-ine.”
Taylor only had to readthe script McIntosh gavehim during a trip to Kansas
City last month to remem-ber the start of his career.
It took more explainingwhen he retold the storyof the Frasers to Francis, aregular this season in theRoyals’ rotation, who grewup in North Delta.
“If I had to do it overagain I wouldn’t changeanything,” said Taylor,who is with his fourthbig league organization,
including a 2000-02 stintas general manager of theMilwaukee Brewers.
“When I talk about NewWestminster, people seemto be amazed that we werea couple of 22-year-old kidswho had the courage to dosomething like that.”

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
They only lasted for one season, so the 1974 New Westmin-ster Frasers didn’t last long enough to spawn many profes-sional careers. They did, however, send a few players on towork in baseball. Here’s what a few are doing now:
◗ Dean Taylor, general manager, is now the assistant GM-VPof the Kansas City Royals.
◗ Jeff Cox, infielder, is now the third base coach for theChicago White Sox
◗ Lee Sigman, shortstop, is now a Mexican scout for theNew York Yankees.

With natural disasters such asearthquakes and tsunamis devastatingcities around the globe, it’s becomingmore and more important thatwe understand the risks and takeprecautions. In B.C., its almost forest fireseason - and we have seen firsthandthe devastation these can cause toour belongings and homes. While it’simpossible to prevent a natural disaster,the guarantee of peace-of-mindprotection should be expected froman insurance company.How will your insurancecompany respond ifdisaster strikes? There aresome fundamental thingsyour insurance companyshould do:
Assist with theemergency.
In the event of anatural disaster, youshould be able to contactyour insurance company any time day ornight. Once coverage is confirmed, theyshould assist by calling in professionalsto help and arrange for items likehumidifiers, or tarp for your roof, to helpreduce further damage.
Explain coverage details.
Once an adjuster has spoken to you,or viewed your loss, your insurancecompany should explain to you whatis and isn’t covered under the policy.They should also discuss repair orreplacement of your contents to helpyou decide how to move forward withyour claim. If a natural disaster rendersyour home uninhabitable and coverageallows, your insurance company shouldalso provide options for alternateaccommodations until it can be restored.
Help to get you back on track.
Depending on the extent of damage,you may need a team of tradespeopleto help you restore your home. Thoughyour insurance company may approve acertain amount of funds for restoration,you should still have the option to quotewith a contractor of your choice. Or,if you prefer, your insurance companyshould provide the names of skilledprofessionals. The benefit of workingwith a local insurance company is
that they will be ableto give you qualifiedrecommendations in yourarea.
Keep you informed.
You shouldn’tbe kept guessing.From beginning toend, your insurancecompany should keepyou updated on progressand possible delays so
that you have the confidence of knowingwhen your home will return to normal.
There’s no way to predict whena natural disaster will occur, but ifyou understand the risks and takeprecautions, you can benefit fromthe peace-of-mind protection of yourinsurance company to alleviate thestress of a claim.

Walking tours arealways a greatway to learn
about a place. Last week-end, we had the oppor-tunity to take a group ofpeople for a walk acrossSapperton, basicallyfrom the cemetery alongRichmond Street and thendown to Hume Park.
The walk included sev-eral memories and storiesthat have emerged fromongoing research in theMemories of SappertonProject. Here is a selectionfrom the walk.
The cemeteries andthe B.C. Penitentiary arealways prominent, butmemories of the hugeflashing sign showingLucky Lager and thatbeer’s cross symbol arevery important to locals.Many have memories ofthe small house that start-ed out as a grave monu-ment company next to St.
Peter’s cemetery in whichit placed many markers.Further along RichmondStreet, we added a story oflivestock, especially goats,grazing in the area.
Corner stores are fondlyremembered by many, butonly one local corner storebuilding remains, and it isno longer a store. Severalremembered getting icecream cones at the cornerstore near Alberta Street,while others noted the oneat Hospital Street ownedby the Woods family, andthe Alston family’s storeon Winthrop Street. Theold Richmond Groceryacross from School Streettriggered a flood of memo-ries of a bag of pennycandy actually costingpennies.
A house on RichmondStreet near RichardMcBride School added anexciting note to the walk,not because it was movedfrom lower Hospital Streetto its present location, butbecause it almost didn’tmake it. As it was beingmoved uphill, an axlebroke on the truck pullingit, and a newspaper photoshows the house sittingcrossways across the streetand completely blocking
it. Eventually things werecorrected and the housewas moved – now thatis an interesting heritageitem!
A couple of reminis-cences of patches of “for-est” were noted along theway. Local kids enjoyedone in the 200 block ofRichmond for years until ahouse was built on the lotin the 1960s. Another waspart of the entire blockthat housed the Buchananhouse and later the SunsetLodge. Many people, of avariety of “certain ages”remember the Buchananbush and the pathway thatran through the trees nearEast Eighth Avenue.
At lower East EighthAvenue, near Braid andColumbia, there weremany things to remembersuch as Shibicky’s for icecream or perhaps Frenchfries, the Burnaby Lakeinterurban station, ShawBrothers for woodwork,Barclay’s for gasoline, andthe Hume family monu-ment in the upper cornerof Hume Park.

QuestionCan you give me some
advice on what plants toput on the north side of myhouse? It gets some sunlightbut a lot of shade too.
I need ideas of some prettyplants that don’t need a lot ofsun. I do not like evergreenbushes or trees.
Alison J.Email
AnswerHeucheras are avail-
able in many beautifulleaf colours, and the foli-age remains throughoutwinter.
They’re very hardy andenjoy shade. Some havepretty flowers too, butwith many the leaves arethe main attraction.
Many ground-cov-ers handle shade well,including epimediums,bugleweed (Ajuga reptans)and violets – but ground-covers need a firm handand a sharp spade to stopthem from over-running
weaker plants. Primroseslove shade and increasediscreetly when happy.
Alpine strawberries (thesmaller runnerless type)also grow well in partialshade and even fruit wellthere. One of the moststriking shade-dwellers ispulmonaria,which not onlyhas bright blueflowers (thatopen pink) butleaves that invarious culti-vars vary fromsilver-spottedto totally silver.
Medium-tallshade-loversinclude colum-bines which,if allowed toself-seed, prod-uce flowersof many different hues.Hellebores have a verylong flowering periodin spring and so doesthe blue-flowered brun-nera. Some brunnerashave stunningly beautifulleaves, such as the formJack Frost.
Bergenias also do wellin shade. These producefat heads of pink or whiteflowers in very earlyspring. Their evergreenleaves often develop
reddish shades throughwinter. These are rug-ged plants which slowlyspread and can cover largeareas.
In summer shade,astilbes produce plume-like flowerheads usu-ally in white, pink or red.
Heights canvary from onemetre to verydwarf depend-ing what youchoose.
For bright-ness in spring,the yellowdaisy flowersof doronicumsare a standout.Other easyshade-loversinclude valer-ian, foxglovesand Fuchsia
magellanica.This fuchsia is the old-
fashioned hardy one withsmall single flowers inmagenta and deep purple.If you live near the sea,you may be able to over-winter so-called “hardy”double-flowered kindssuch as Dollar Princess orSanta Claus.
But it’s the speciesFuchsia magellanica thatcomes through severewinters in southwest
B.C. Typically, it diesback to ground levelthen shoots up in spring.Hummingbirds love it.
Dogwoods andCornelian Cherry (Cornusmas) can tolerate someshade. Cornus mas has acloud of yellow flowers inearly spring and red ber-ries later.
Kerria is a upright,suckering shrub whichproduces double (orsingle) yellow flowers andstems which remain brightgreen through winter.
QuestionIs this a good time to move
my calla lily to a spot in thegarden?
N. Howden
QuestionNow the nights are
frost-free, this is a perfecttime to move your callalily into the garden. Itwould do best in a warm,sunny spot that can bekept quite moist.
In coastal gardensand on sunny walls inVancouver, calla lilies cando very well and evenover-winter if they aremulched to help themsurvive cold temperaturesonce frost and snow sea-son comes around again.
But it’s always safer tobring the callas with col-oured flowers inside forthe winter.
These are hybrid formswhich acquired their hues
by being cross-bred withother, more tender forms.
Anne Marrison is happyto answer garden questions.Send them to her by e-mail,[email protected].

Is your garden being attacked byinsects? If you have a plot in a NewWestminster community garden, don’t likeusing chemicals to control pests and wantto contribute to sustainable gardeningpractices, UNIBUG is looking for you.
UNIBUG – the User Network for InsectBiology in the Urban Garden – fightsinsects the natural way: with other insects.These predators – ground beetles, hov-erflies and soldier beetles, to name a few– eat the bugs that are making a meal ofyour vegetables.
Learning which plant types and speciesthese hungry “good guys” are attracted tois UNIBUG’s goal.
“We’re looking for citizen scientists whoare willing to dedicate a small area of theirplots to a specific test plant species or vari-ety, and then count the beneficial insects,”says Dr. Veronica Wahl, UNIBUG proj-ect coordinator at the Institute for UrbanEcology at Douglas College. “It only takesabout 15 minutes a week, and the informa-tion can be sent to us over the Internet orby telephone.”
UNIBUG staff will visit the gardensand provide onsite training and supportas well as the monitoring equipment freeof charge. Dr. Wahl is hoping that localnurseries will donate the plants neededfor the project. “If we can’t get the nurser-ies on board and we have 100 participants,there may be a small fee of approximately$5 per person.”
The project won’t be all work and noplay, however – there will be communitymeetings, a Facebook page for participants
to share information and a year-end gath-ering.
Wahl says UNIBUG is hoping to usethe results to make recommendations togardeners about beneficial insect-attract-ing plants they can use to manage pestsnaturally, rather than with pesticides.
“We’d also provide the information tothe plant nursery industry and retail gar-den stores so they can make recommen-dations to homeowners or landscapers ofplants suited to attract biological controlsto urban garden spaces.”
To get involved, contact Veronica Wahlat [email protected] or 604-527-5522.

The big news from the Camaro campis a power upgrade to its base V6engine for model year 2011.
Chevrolet engineers have managed tosqueeze 312 horsepower out of the 3.6-litre engine so that it now outpowers thebase engines in the Ford Mustang and theDodge Challenger.
The Camaro LS and LT models comewith a potent, direct-injection V6 engine,which it borrowed from the Cadillac CTS.This engine is mated to either a six-speedmanual or an optional six-speed auto-matic (with a manual mode) transmission.Flat-out acceleration to 100 km/h takesabout six seconds, which is impressivelyfast.
The top-line Camaro SS has a mighty6.2-litre V8 engine (from the Corvette),which can churn out 425 horsepower witha six-speed manual and 400 horsepowerwith the optional six-speed automatic. Itcan get to 100 km/h in less than five sec-onds, which is super-car territory.
Compared to the original ‘67, the newCamaro is longer, wider and taller. It hasbigger wheels, which come in 18-inch to21-inch rim sizes.
The LooksIts shark nose, blacked-out grille and
extra-long hood are important Camarodesign traits. The hood is aluminum andhas a power dome that looks cool, but isnot functional.
The InsideThe steering wheel has a manually
adjustable tilt and telescopic feature, andthe front seats are generous in size andoffer good support.
The retro theme just doesn’t seem towork as well on the inside. There’s a lackof warmth and visual interest, with exces-sive use of same-colour trim and plastic.
The DriveThe shortened glass area, which gives
the Camaro its sporty chopped rooflineappearance, does cause some visionrestrictions for the driver.
A design drawback that’s common tomost sport coupes is rear visibility, andthe narrow side mirrors on Camaro don’thelp matters.
All is forgiven when you step on thegas pedal and hit the road. The Camarohas a sophisticated independent link sus-
pension setup with coil springs and anisolated sub-frame. The Camaro is a hootto drive. Its engine makes all the rightnoises for a discerning sports car lover,and eagerly revs to its 7,000 r.p.m. limit,yet still gets decent fuel economy.
The ScoreA drop-dead gorgeous design and a
thrill to drive, the new Chevrolet Camarois everything you expect a Camaro to be– and more.

Pick any sport and it’s likely thatLaura Kean has tried it, and done itwell.
The 18-year-old Port MoodySecondary student knocked offalmost three seconds off her per-sonal best to finish 13th in the girls’400-metre hurdles, at the recent B.C.high school track and field meet atSwangard Stadium last week.
Kean was also crowned the FraserValley champion in wrestling at 51kilograms earlier this year, whilelast season she skied all the way tothe provincial championships in thedownhill.
But, if you ask her, Kean will nothesitate to name gymnastics as herone true sport and Burnaby’s WingsGymnastic Society as her real love.
“Wings is the best thing. It’s atight-knit family. They are all mybest friends, and it’s like at home.No matter what has happened to meduring the day, I can come in andfeel at home,” said Kean, who thisyear reached the highest level of anyWings gymnast before her.
At the provincial championshipsearlier this year, Kean was a multi-medallist in level 4.
Kean won the floor exercises, fin-ished second on the vault and wasthird on the uneven bars and in theall-around.
What was most impressive aboutKean’s success was it was accom-plished with the Wing’s twice-a-week practice.
Following the B.C.s, Kean movedup to level 5, the final tier beforenational standards.
In a few weeks time, Kean willaddress her graduating class as itsvaledictorian.
The honour roll student is notexactly sure what she will say, butit’s certain that life lessons learnedat Wings will creep in somehow,she said.
“Withough gymnastics, I don’tthink I would be the valedictorian.There, I learned to be more confi-dent. I learned a lot of life skills ingymnastics,” Kean said.
Kean first enrolled at Wings as ashy first-grader, but quickly movedup from recreational levels to morecompetitive despite her fears.
Although not a self-described
natural talent, Kean said she defi-nitely put in the work.
“I had a little bit of both,” Keansaid.
Gymnastics, she added, hasalways been about working hard,determination and never giving up.
Now, Kean says, she is not readyto leave the sport even though hertime will be at a premium withher enrolment at the University ofBritish Columbia next fall.
Kean hopes to return to theCameron rec centre club to helpcoach or perhaps just volunteer any-where the society might need her.
“We’re there to have fun and todo what we can do. she said. “At
the end of the day, it’s not aboutwinning and losing, it’s about doingyour best.”
And it is the club’s philosphy offun and fitness that perhaps drivesKean so much to want to give back.
“Totally, I love Wings and they’vedone tons for me,” she said. “Wingsis definitely where I’d like to be.”
On Tuesday, June 14 and thefollowing Thursday, June 16 at theCameron rec centre, all levels ofWings gymnasts will perform in twoannual year-end shows that will dis-play the commitment of performersand coaches alike.
Both shows will begin at approxi-mately 6:30 p.m.

New Westminster isback in contention, but stilla step or two behind wherethey’d like to be.
In back-to-back gamesthis week, the junior ASalmonbellies gave glimps-es of what could be andwhat currently is.
The ’Bellies played asolid 30 minutes against thedefendingMintoCupcham-pion Adanacs and finishedwith a 10-8 loss to show forit at the Coquitlam centreWednesday.
Adaybefore,the New Westclub could dolittle wrong,humbling theBurnaby Lakers20-9 at home.
The differ-ence in the twooutcomes is amicrocosm ofhow the sea-son has playedout for theSalmonbelliesso far this year.
Unable toreach doublefigures in all but twogames to date, the ’Bellieshave erupted for 20-goaloutcomes on two separateoccasions this season.
Their saving grace hasbeen a solid goalkeepingcore that is a match for thebest the league can offer.
But on Wednesday, a 7-1deficit against the Adanacsdug a hole too deep toclimb out of.
To their credit, theSalmonbellies mounted arally, outscoring the hometeam 5-1 in the final 13minutes of the second per-iod.
But the damage hadbeen done and the twoteams split the final frame.
Fourth-year juniorT.J. Cowx sparked theSalmonbellie comebackmidway through the mid-dle frame with his secondgoal of the season on a two-man break.
Although Coquitlamcountered that goal fourminutes later, it appearedto swing the momentum inNew Westminster’s favour.
“I felt the same way,when the transition gameis working it gave us aspark. … after that kick inour butt,” said Cowx. “Weweren’t ready for that fast-paced lacrosse, but we’ll be
ready for them next time.”That next time will
come sooner rather thanlater. The two teams willmeet again this Tuesday atQueen’s Park Arena for thefinal match in the three-games season series.
For the Salmonbellies,the key is to get out toa solid start against theunbeaten A’s.
That has not been thecase in the first two out-ings.
In Coquitlam, New Westwon the faceoff battle andoutshot the home team,
but A’s keeperSteve Fryer wassolid early on.
SpencerEnglandreplaced NewWest start-er BrandonMulligan afterCoquitlam’s 7-1 marker andallowed justthree goals therest of the way,lowering hisgoal againstaverage to aleague-low5.07.
England is currently sec-ond only to Fryer in savepercentage with an 85.60average.
The junior ’Bellies gotthe deficit down to withina single goal at two pointsin the final period.
Callup Quinn Mackay’ssecond effort at 2:15reduced the gap to 8-7.
Four minutes later, MarkNegrin scored his second ofthe game on a power play.
But Record game starWesley Berg proved thedifference for Coquitlam,countering both goals withtwo of his own, including atimely shorthanded mark-er, to bring his output tofour tallies in a six-pointouting.
At home Tuesday, NewWestminster had their waywith an unready Burnabyclub.
Big numbers wereenjoyed by a handfulplayers, including DanielMcQuade, with three goalsand nine points, and TylerDigby, with seven points.
Justin Salt and LeifMydske both contributedfour goals in multi-pointnights. Cowx also chippedin with five assists.
Flying high: Wings’ gymnast Laura Kean will be heading to the Univer-sity of B.C. next year after 12 years at the Cameron rec centre club.

is fondly remembered by the Grace family. She was predeceased by herdaughter Christine Grace and our father Hugh Mortimer.Shirley’s first job was at Woodward’s Department Store, she soon left thatto go into training as a psychiatric nurse at Essondale. Mom met our Dadwhile he was driving bus on that route and they soon married and began afamily. At the tender age of forty-one Shirley decided to go back to schooland spent the next four years earning her Bachelor’s Degree of Psychology.She became a Probation Officer until she took early retirement in 1988.Shirley kept busy as a volunteer until she became a member of the Boardof Parole from 1998 to 2002. She then became active with BSOSS in seniorpeer counselling and did a term as Chairman of the Board. Mom was giventhe Local Hero Award by the City of Burnaby for her volunteer work incommunity policing in 2004. Shirley settled down a little after that, contentwith studying creative writing and taking various other courses to keepher mind active as her body slowed down. Mom was a prolific readerwith a bright and engaging personality and thirst for knowledge that couldnever be slaked.A celebration of her life will be held on Friday, July 22 between 12 p.m.and 3 p.m. at the Royal City Curling Club, 75 East 6th Avenue, NewWestminster.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections June 12 - 18, 2011★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Aries March 21 - April 19: The accent continueson paperwork, messaging, errands, travel, news andcasual friends. It’s a busy but not important time.Sunday’s full of mysteries and subconscious urges(so is good for seeing within or seeking criticaladvice). But these – and sex, finances – can meetirritation Monday. Wisdom, a gentle outlook creep inlate Monday to late Wednesday – you might spendtoo much on travel, culture, education or a legalmatter, but these things also come to a satisfyingclimax. Be ambitious Thursday/Friday. You’re popularSaturday, but driving, high tech are erratic.Taurus April 20-May 20: Continue to chasemoney. Buy sources of knowledge and co-operatewith teachers. Relationships flow well Sunday, butthey might run into friction Monday a.m. Ignore afinancial or sexual decision/idea Monday night –these meet success Tuesday/Wednesday (althoughyou might overspend for an investment). Be carefulwith ethical or legal “assumptions” (or travel ideas)Thursday to suppertime – the practical reality isfar different. These matters flow with superb luck,though, Thursday night to pre-dawn Saturday.Be ambitious – but drive carefully, and forgivecomputers – Saturday.Gemini May 21-June 20: Your energy, charismaand effectiveness continue high. You’ll be givenalmost anything you ask for – but you need to beaware that asking for a partner, marriage, relocation,litigation or a contract could lead to restriction orunexpected solitude. But these are not necessarilybad. Relative solitude will come anyway, over theyear ahead, as a blessing, a healing. Do ask foradvice. Take this general attitude for the whole 12months ahead: that you will, to whatever degreeyou can, sacrifice your own time/energy to supportanother (or others). This will bring good results.
Cancer June 21-July 22: Lie low, rest andrecuperate. Be thoughtful, plan, seek advice,deal with government agencies or institutions, orcorporate head offices. Your charitable and spiritualside remains prominent. Next week, you’re goingto burst forth with a blaze of energy, so store it upnow. Sunday’s romantic, but anyone who’s attractiveMonday morning is also a quarrelsome type – fairwarning! Tackle chores and health concerns Mondayto Wednesday. Relationships can frustrate youThursday to suppertime (so don’t pursue new ones)but this night and Friday bring sweet, even passionateharmony!Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Wishes can come true! Youremain popular, optimistic, happy. Make and acceptinvitations (but keep them near in time – after June20 you’ll tire of social involvements). The year aheadis very lucky for career, ambitions, etc. Use Sundayto ground this – to examine and/or shore up yourfoundations, your platform for launching an ambitiousbid. For example, when you’re handling long daysand career pressures, a supportive family is a goodfoundation. Or mapping out the right territory, or liningup allies. Tuesday/Wednesday are romantic, creative– love could reach a sweet climax!Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: The accent remains onambition, status, prestige relationships. Show theboss (or parents, etc.) what you can do. Sunday’s greatfor puttering around the neighbourhood, reading a fatnewspaper, calling friends, errands and paperwork.These need a diplomatic (but opportunistic) approachMonday a.m. You reach a climax and an “endingnote” in career matters Tuesday/Wednesday – allis well. Perhaps a project matures. Study long-termincome and investments Thursday: these will undergochange this decade – safety key. Thursday/Friday areromantic. Chores Saturday – practise safety!
Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Gentle love, understanding,a wide view, far travel, legal affairs, higher education,religion, cultural involvements – the accent continueson these. During the 378 days ahead, you are goingto face superb luck in investments, lifestyle changes,sex/intimacy, therapy/healing, and/or research. UseSunday to see what you already have, and what youaccept as true – these are not where your luck lies;these will remain static. Monday morning, a partner’sor competitor’s comment, even if irritating, or a spiedopportunity, shows where your luck lies. Romanceunpredictable Saturday.Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Changes are still onthe agenda, in lifestyle, commitments, intimacy,finances. But the biggest change involves yourrelationship sphere: it’s growing splendidly lucky.The year ahead will bring at least two opportunitiesto marry, form a business partnership, relocate,attract the public (e.g., as clients to your store)– almost all of these have a very beneficial moneyresult! Remember for the past 15 years I kept sayingthat your true love phase would begin in 2011?This partnership year is part of that. Your energy’sgood Sunday. Chase money midweek. Love lateThursday?Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: The emphasisremains on relationships,partnerships,opportunities,relocation, negotiation. Remember, this area needs alight touch until late August 2012. Actually marryingor relocating is not a good idea, unless “life bringsit” – e.g., your employer transfers you. Depend moreon your own efforts, carve out your own destiny,rather than chasing perceived “opportunities.” Lielow, rest Sunday/Monday. Your energy rises nicelymidweek. Chase money Thursday/Friday (but expectbarriers up to Thursday suppertime). Someone’ssweet, reliable. Travel Saturday – safety first!
Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: You face nine moredays of drudgery work, so just keep on plugging. (Ashinted earlier, perform only necessary work all year;don’t make machinery, chores, health or employmenta primary focus.) Soon, fresh air, new opportunitiesand exciting relationships will enter. The last of theseis especially significant, as the 12 months ahead bringsplendid romantic openings! The same period creativeand speculative luck. Optimistic risk is your friend,especially risk that, if it “wins,” will bring you moreresponsibility. Joy Sunday. Rest midweek, charge forthThursday/Friday!Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: This is your last weekof romance, creativity, pleasure and beauty for awhile– enjoy it while you can. Be ambitious Sunday.Higher-ups are still impatient, temperamental, sobe diplomatic, especially Monday morning. Yourpopularity surges Tuesday/Wednesday! Flirtations,entertainment, optimism abound. A romance couldswell to “mad love.” But retreat Thursday/Friday:meditate, contemplate, plan, deal with governmentagencies, and fulfill obligations. (All these will go betterThursday night and Friday, not before.) Your energy,charisma spring up Saturday – careful driving.Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: The accent continues onyour domestic scene, on security, property, children,retirement, gardening, nature and nutrition. Luxuriatein laziness. Sunday/Monday are wise, gentle– contemplate the why’s, not the how’s. You mightfeel a tug-o-war between your ambitions and yourhome (or your tiredness) Tuesday/Wednesday. All’swell, whichever extreme you favour. Your hopes meetbarriers Thursday daytime, but this night ad Fridaycould bring fulfillment, especially to home-relatedwishes. It’s a splendid time to decorate, landscape.Weariness returns Saturday – rest, plan.
