Brentwoodmaster plandraws crowd

The Burnaby council chamber was packedfor Tuesday night’s public hearing on the masterconcept plan for the Brentwood Town Centre site,with people gathering outside the doors to hearthe proceedings.

The proposed development is divided into fourphases and would include 10 residential towerspossibly ranging in height from 20 to 70 storeys,depending on their location, and two office tow-ers ranging in height from 30 to 40 storeys. Thedesign also includes a redeveloped commercialcentre, a 50,000-square-foot food store, and a vari-ety of public outdoor spaces.

The plan divides the 11.5-hectare site at 4515and 4567 Lougheed Hwy. into four quadrants fordevelopment, with the first phase including thetwo residential towers that could range in heightfrom 45 to 70 storeys at the corner of WillingdonAvenue and Lougheed Highway.

One by one, concerned residents and thosesupporting and interested in the planning processspoke to Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, citycouncillors and staff.

Mark Tyson, who lives on Fairlawn Drive nearthe mall, spoke first, saying he did not opposeredeveloping the mall, but he was concernedabout the possibility of the 70-storey towersincluded in the master plan.

He was also worried about the increase of traf-fic in the busy neighbourhood, he said, as “rat-racers” are already a problem around WillingdonAvenue.

Donald Copan, who lives on Highlawn Drive,shared some of the same concerns as Tyson, add-ing that traffic at the intersection of Beta Avenueand Brentlawn Drive is especially unsafe.

“If there’s an accident or death, it’ll be atBrentlawn and Beta,” he said.

Eric Anderson, who has lived in the neigh-bourhood since 1953 and referred to himself as “acharter member of Brentwood,” said the neigh-bourhood could not accommodate that many

A FIN-TASTIC TALE OF WATER FUNLONG-TERM REDEVELOPMENT

If you find yourself swimming lapsat a local pool this summer and see amermaid glide past you in the water,don’t worry, you don’t need prescrip-tion goggles – she’s real.

Most days, Annette Johnston andher friend Lori Pappajohn can be foundat various pools around town wearingtheir hand-crafted mermaid tails.

Johnston, a Burnaby physical thera-pist, and Pappajohn have been “mer-maiding” for about a year, and can’tseem to get enough of the activity thatblends light-hearted dress-up with seri-

ous athleticism.“It makes swimming fun; it makes

exercising fun,” said Johnston.Sometimes the pair just wear their

regular bathing suits and use a monofin,a single flipper for both feet.

But most days they don one of theircolourful mermaid tails that cover thefins, and enjoy the attention from bothkids and adults who can’t help butapproach them with questions andrequests to have a go themselves.

“They’re all fascinated,” saidJohnston. “And that’s the fun part aboutwearing the tail.”

It all started in 2010 when, alreadyan avid swimmer, Pappajohn saw two

swimmers doing lengths at CanadaGames Pool using monofins.

She got talking with them and askedif she could try the fin, which she imme-diately appreciated for its ability to helppropel her swiftly through the water.Experienced monofin swimmers canmove at speeds of up to 11 km/hr, shesaid.

It wasn’t long before she got a fin ofher own, and was using it regularly.

“I was so into monofining, and thenone evening I came back from the pooland Googled “mermaid” and I wasblown away by the stuff that came up. I

was like, ‘OK, people are really intothis. Like, seriously into it.’”

If swimming like a mermaid wasfun, Pappajohn realized looking likeone would just be that much better.

Through trial and error, she spentabout two months creating the perfectmermaid tail out of a custom-designedmonofin and colourful dance costumematerial.

When she and Johnston planned atrip to Hawaii for a holiday last year,Pappajohn hired a professional pho-tographer to get pictures of the two asmermaids in the sea.

“It was amazing,” said Johnston.“You could hear the whales in thebackground. That was the funnestday of my life.”

Johnston and Pappajohn get theircustom-shaped monofins from BroncoCustom Works in New Westminster.

Owner Renzo Carbonel does allkinds of custom plastic fabrication,from business signs to bullet-proofwindows for a penitentiary, so thefirst request to craft a mermaid tailwas not a huge surprise.

“I see all kinds of weird things inthis line of work; all different peoplewith different ideas,” he said.

Carbonel makes the fins fromscratch, precision cutting polycarbon-ate material that holds up well inchlorinated water.

The two women each have severalcoloured mermaid tails they keep intheir cars, ready to be used wheneverthe aquatic urge strikes.

Inwinter,theyareusuallyatCanadaGames Pool in New Westminster, andin summer either at the outdoor poolat Robert Burnaby Park or Kitsilano inVancouver.

Both Johnston and Pappajohn areworking on being able to hold theirbreath to be able to stay under waterlonger.

Pappajohn is up to a minute, and,so far, Johnston is at about 30 sec-onds.

Besides their personal swimminggoals, the women agree it’s the joytheir mermaiding brings to othersthat is the best part of their favouritepastime.

Once while swimming lengths atthe pool in Kitsilano, an older manstopped to stare at Pappajohn as shebreached the surface, and she said tohim, “Have you ever seen a mermaidbefore?” With a faraway look in hiseyes he softly replied, “No … not in along time.”

Kids especially love to watch herin the water.

“They come running,” she said. “Itake them to the shallow end and Ishow them how to swim in the dol-phin style.”

She calls it her mermaid school.Though it’s not an official program,

the women bring kids’ sized monofinswith them to the pool for mermaid(and merman) tails to borrow.

For those especially keen to learnto be a mermaid, the two can be con-

tacted through their website, www.mermaidsinternational.com.

“It makes peoples’ day, bringingsmiles,” said Pappajohn. “It’s just fun.… Once you watch it, you go, ‘Oh,I’ve got to try it,’ cause it’s just sogreat.”

GENERAL STRIKE ACTION

Nearly 800 members of the Burnaby-based CanadianOffice and Professional Employees Union, Local 378,are taking part in general strike action with two otherunions on Sept. 5.

About 4,600 COPE 378 members are employed bythe Insurance Corporation of British Columbia, accord-ing to a press release from the three unions.

The other unions taking part are the B.C. Governmentand Service Employees’ Union and the ProfessionalEmployees Association.

The unions expect about 27,000 members, whowork for the provincial government, to participate inthe action at 1,785 worksites across B.C., the releasestated.

“We reluctantly take this action to send a message tothe provincial government and ICBC that we’re inter-ested in getting a fair collective agreement,” Jeff Gillies,vice-president of COPE 378, said in a phone interviewWednesday. “It’s the first time in 32 years that ourmembers have walked off the job.”

The COPE 378 memberswill be picketing at 21 work-sites in B.C., he said.

The union has been at thebargaining table with ICBCfor a year-and-a-half, headded, and has engaged injob action since June.

“Unfortunately, it’s madeno to little difference at thebargaining table,” Gillies

said. “We feel this is the only way to show them we’reserious.”

The union’s main concerns are wages, improvedbenefits, employees’ workload and job security, Gilliessaid in a previous interview.

In July, the B.C. Labour Relations Board found thatICBC had not been bargaining in good faith with COPE378 members regarding pay, as the Crown corporationhad kept the issue out of negotiations.

However, since then, ICBC has not greatly increasedwhat it is offering, Gillies said.

“That money is not sufficient,” he said. “We don’tfeel it’s fair or reasonable given the circumstances.”

The union last met with the employer on Aug. 15,he added.

“We had high hopes of reaching a collective agree-ment,” he said. “We’re hopeful we can get some datesin September and get back to the table.”

Dates are set for next month, according to AdamGrossman, senior media advisor for ICBC.

But he couldn’t comment on any of the details of thenegotiations, he said.

According to the list provided by the union, nextweek’s job action won’t take place at any of ICBC’sBurnaby locations, Grossman said.

“The vast majority are Service B.C.Centres,” he said. “Where we comeinto play is we do driver licensingservices at some of those locations.”

Most of the centres aren’t in urbanareas, he added.

Anyone who plans to renew theirlicence should probably avoid anyof the centres listed by the unionsas being picketed on Wednesday, hesuggested.

“Some customers may be a bitinconvenienced by that, and we cer-tainly apologize for that in advance,”Grossman said.

COPE 378 members voted 87 percent in favour of job action on April24.

ICBC made an essential ser-

vice application to the B.C. LabourRelations Board on April 19, sus-pending the union’s ability to takeaction.

The board then handed down aninterim order on June 13. The unioncan take job action with 48 hours’notice, “if the job action does notdip below the essential service levelsapplied for by ICBC.”

Employees will maintain essentialservice levels during Wednesday’saction, Gillies said.

ICBC has asked that claims, insur-ance and driver licensing services bedeclared essential during any poten-tial job action.

The order is in place until the boardissues a final order after the essentialservice hearings are finished.

The union began job action in

June with an overtime ban. The banwill be lifted after the job action onWednesday, according to Gillies,to deal with any extra work thatmay accumulate during the one-daystrike.

Union members also tried to takejob action in July by attaching a sig-nature to emails from their workaccounts. The signature said, “WeWork. You Drive. We Both DeserveBetter.” But a court decision has sinceprohibited the union from sendingout information via work accounts,according to Gillies.

The union has also done some leaf-leting since then, he added.

ICBC’s collective agreementexpired in 2010. The two parties havebeen in negotiations since January2011.

Burnaby RCMP have Burnaby-Douglas MP Kennedy Stewart tothank for the Monday arrest of agraffiti artist.

On Aug. 27, Stewart and hiswife, Jeanette Ashe, spotted a mantagging the side of a building in

North Burnaby. The couple calledthe police and before long, the policehad arrested a 27-year-old man.

“I was only doing what I thinkany other citizen would do underthose circumstances, and I’m glad itworked out that the police were ableto apprehend this man,” Stewartsaid in an RCMP press release. “Ithink it’s important for people to get

involved and know when it’s appro-priate to call the police. I would alsolike to say that I was very impressedwith the quick police response andwith the professionalism of theRCMP officers who attended.”

Police are recommending a chargeof mischief to property under $5,000and two counts of breaching proba-tion against the 27-year-old man.

new residents.“A development at this scale is crazy,”

he said.There were some questions about the

scope of the project, such as how manypeople would be added to the neighbour-hood once it is completed.

Lou Pelletier, Burnaby’s director ofplanning and building, said the antici-pated number of residential units for theBrentwood site is between 2,000 and 4,200,with approximately 2.1 peopleexpected per unit, meaningit could house up to 8,400people.

The current populationcount for Brentwood is 10,000,he said, while the capacity inthe town centre plan for thearea is 50,000.

Corrigan addressed someof the concerns brought for-ward, specifically about trafficin the area.

While the developer isworking to address trafficissues connected directly with the site inthe planning stages, the traffic problemsin the neighbourhood overall fall underthe city’s jurisdiction, he reminded thoseattending the hearing.

The city is currently working on a trans-portation plan to deal with issues such aslocals having access to their neighbour-hoods and commuters cutting throughthose neighbourhoods to get to Vancouver,according to Corrigan.

“Whenever anybody asks me what’sthe biggest issue in Burnaby, I tell them,‘it’s traffic,’” he said.

Most speakers who opposed the projectsaid they supported redeveloping the site,albeit on a smaller scale.

And a near-equal number of peoplecame forward to speak in favour of theproject, including David Pereira.

Pereira, who completed his master’s inurban studies at Simon Fraser University,said he wrote his thesis on the history ofBurnaby’s town centres.

The town centres in Burnaby – particu-larly Metrotown – have the highest densityin the region, he said, and Metrotown alsohas the highest transit ridership.

“This plan is a long-awaited project,”Pereira said, adding that the plan to makeBrentwood a high-density neighbourhoodhas been on the books for 46 years.

Jeanne Fike, speaking on behalf ofBurnaby Family Life, said the communityorganization also supports the project andhopes to continue to consult with thedeveloper on how it will benefit the com-munity.

“We think this is a tremendous oppor-tunity of doing things differently from the

past,” she said.Darren Kwiatkowski,

executive vice-president ofShape Properties, which ownsBrentwood Town Centre, wasalso at the hearing.

He addressed some of theconcerns brought forwardat the hearing in a follow-up phone interview with theNOW on Wednesday.

“To put things into per-spective, the site is 28 acres,”he said. “The actual densitybeing proposed is in line with

what city planning policies support for theproperty.”

Burnaby council has made it clear thatit plans to make town centres, particularlythose near SkyTrain stations, high-densityareas for more than 20 years, he pointedout.

The designers went with the tall-build-ing plan to allow more light and space onthe site and avoid a clustered developmentwith lower buildings, Kwiatkowski said.The tallest towers are purposely plannedto be as far from the residential homesnear the northern edge of the property,and as close to the SkyTrain, as possible.

As far as traffic goes, the developmentdesign includes plans to manage the road-ways on the property to avoid impactingsurrounding neighbourhood, he said.

“We are extending the urban streetnetwork through our site,” Kwiatkowskisaid, mentioning Halifax Street and AlphaAvenue will continue onto the property asprivate roads.

Next, Burnaby city staff will compile areport on the hearing, which will go back tocouncil. Council will then decide whetheror not to approve the master concept plan.

Following that, each development phasewill also go through public hearings beforethe parcels can be rezoned, and Shape

Properties has committed to conductingmore consultation with stakeholders andresidents as things develop.

Brentwood: Neighbourhood will nearly double

Future vision: Brentwood Town Centre is up for redevelopment. The 11.5-hectaresite could include 10 residential and two office towers, a commercial centre andpublic space.

Last week I fired a gun forthe first time. The occasionwas the bachelor party for

an old friend of mine.(And let me pause briefly

here to say the wedding waswonderful, and the bride andgroom have a veryhappy future ahead.)

Why were weshooting guns? Well,none of us drink much, no onewas terribly keen on draggingthe groom to a strip club, andthe gun range allowed us toindulge our fantasies of blastingthe brains out of zombie hordes.

We may have been thinking,“Will this hit a living dead can-nibal in the brains?” but otherpeople clearly see guns in differ-ent ways.

In the wake of two mass mur-der sprees in the U.S., Americansdid exactly zero soul-searchingabout their gun laws. In fact,many of them immediatelyturned to the notion that whatpeople need is not fewer guns,but more of them! Why, if onlythere had been more armedcivilians, surely the shooterscould have been stopped!

I think of this as the “magicwand” approach to gun advo-cacy.

In this view, guns are nottools (as they are for many hunt-ers, farmers and police), they aredevices that give people super-powers.

Pick up a high-powered

pistol and suddenly the holderbelieves himself to be DirtyHarry Potter, capable of protect-ing the innocent, killing the badguys and making the world safefor non-gun-owning muggles.

Personally, I wouldn’t careif everyone in Canadaor in the United Statesowned a gun – with thesingle, major caveat that

I would want them to be usedand stored safely.

The thing is, safe useand storage are completelyincompatible with the “gun aspersonal protection” ethos.

There are two scenarios thatseem to come up frequently asreasons for having a gun.

The first is the intruder break-ing into a home in the middle ofthe night. (Whether the intruderis a hapless teenaged burglaror a serial killer seems to be ofno importance to the narrative.)The stalwart, armed homeownereither drives away or kills theintruder.

Of course, if our gun owner isa responsible one, then his gunis A) locked in a gun safe, B) isnot loaded, and C) has a triggerlock or is otherwise unable tofire.

After all, he wouldn’t wantthe kids to get their hands on thegun, right? By the time you’vegotten the gun, found the key forthe trigger lock and loaded theammunition, the hypothetical

Unions facing some very tough times in B.C.For most folks it’s the last long week-

end of the summer – a time to load upthe barbecue, take a nap in the hammockand, most of all, forget about work.

But Labour Day, is, after all,all about work. Work that, inmany cases, deserves to be rec-ognized with more pay, betterhealth and safety protections, job securityand, last but not least, respect.

Unions have earned their chops fight-ing for workers’ rights for countlessyears. Labour activists have lost theirlives, been vilified for their beliefs, and

sacrificed family life to fight the goodfight. And, to be sure, some folks rec-ognize that they owe a lot to unions forbetter working conditions. Even if you

aren’t a member of a union, youhave benefited from unions.Does anyone actually think thatemployers would be plumping

up the pension fund or adding dentalcare to non-union employee packages ifit weren’t for a marketplace that includedbetter paid union workers? The simplethreat or vague rumour of having a unioncertify a workplace is sometimes all that’s

required to get a company to increasewages.

But times are changing, and we ques-tion if workers will be able to avoid claw-backs. With a dwindling union member-ship in B.C., and more global opportuni-ties for employers, union members arefacing a very challenging time.

Unions are much more reluctant topull the trigger and go on strike nowa-days. Barring public sector unions, anyunion that hits the bricks in today’s econ-omy might risk seeing their workplacesimply move to another country. Unions

are being forced to amalgamate withother unions to survive and, like otherorganizations, make cuts to services fortheir members.

Charges of all-powerful unions pull-ing the strings on politicians ring a lotless true nowadays. It’s a lot harder tothrow your weight around when you’relosing it. But it is still true that there isstrength in numbers and power in unity.

Unions still offer the only true voicefor workers in an economy that seemshell bent on treating workers as dispos-able commodities.

Burnaby-Seymour idea not newDear Editor:

Re: MPs take issue with commissioner’s com-ments, Burnaby NOW, Aug. 22.

The fact of the matter is, the proposal to mergeNorth Burnaby with part of the North Shore to cre-ate a new federal riding called Burnaby-Seymour isnot very innovative. It’s been tried before.

In the early 1960s, our electoral district wascalled Burnaby-Coquitlam, and our MP was a fel-low by the name of Tommy Douglas, who won theseat in a 1962 byelection and was re-elected in 1963and 1965.

However, a redistribution in 1966 separatedBurnaby residents from their neighbours to the

east, lumped them in with those living on the northside of the inlet and the renamed the riding … yep,Burnaby-Seymour. And Tommy Douglas lost theseat two years later in the 1968 general election.

The northern boundary was returned to this sideof the water eight years later, where it has remainedsince. It satisfied the generally held view that,other than a bridge spanning the Second Narrows,Burnaby and the North Shore really don’t havemuch in common. The bridge, in fact, isn’t there tofacilitate relations between the two communitiesbut, rather, serves only to (so to speak) pave the wayfor the Trans-Canada Highway.

Commissioner Stewart Ladyman states that “theNorth Burnaby-North Vancouver issue has been on

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

hockey-masked killer hasalready carted away yourhead for his trophy case.

The other scenario isbased on the notion thatyoung women shouldcarry guns to ward offrapists: the “dark alley”scenario.

Would a few rapistsget a deserved gunshotwound if all women werearmed? Yes. But the major-ity of rapes do not happenin dark alleys or desertedparking garages, contraryto the Hollywood myth.

Most rape victims knowtheir rapist. Guns cannotstop child molestation ordate rape.

In addition, a guncan be taken away. Self-defense training, bettersecurity and policing, andcellphones are harder toturn on victims.

My feeling is that guncontrol laws are not themost important element ofkeeping society safe. It’sgun culture.

If you see guns aspotentially dangeroustools, like chain saws

and arc welders, youhave a culture that usesthem safely. If you have aculture of would-be vigi-lantes, no amount of gun-control laws will convincepeople to use them safely.

I liked my trip to thefiring range, but I don’tneed the hassle of beinga responsible gun owner,and I really don’t need toindulge my cowboy fan-tasies by being a bad gunowner.

Guns: Safety lies in culture

the table for a number of commissions.”I hadn’t realized there was an “issue,” soI visited the commission’s website, andsure enough there is a reference in its 2002report to “much angst” expressed by resi-dents of both communities to the idea of ariding that bridged (sorry!) Burrard Inlet.Significantly, the commission of the dayaccepted the argument that there was an“incongruence in the interests and make-ups of their respective cities, (and) thatthe proposed electoral districts would notserve the interests of the respective elector-ates.”

Those words could have been writtenyesterday. So the commission shouldn’tbe surprised if both communities onceagain voice opposition to what undoubt-edly will be viewed as a slavish adherenceto numbers at the expense of communityidentity.

Developers taking over cityDear Editor:

Re: More highrises for Metrotown,Burnaby NOW, Aug. 15

The highrises built in Metrotown inthe 1990s were in the 20- to 30-storeyrange. At street level, there were pleasantlawns, shrubs and flower gardens. Whatwe see now are buildings reaching 40and proposed 50 to 70 floors The newerbuildings at street level now have boxyclusters of town houses instead of land-scaping. Developers say this configura-tion will make the properties more secure– and what the developers don’t say is thatthey will make them richer. Esthetics arebeing ignored and Burnaby is becomingmore cluttered and a more stressful placeto live.

In my opinion, the concept of eco-density has been oversold and is creating

a less livable Metrotown. Infrastructure,transit and recreation facilities are alreadyat capacity.

The developers are laughing all theway to the bank. Where is the Burnabycity council and where are the planners?Maybe they needed more public consulta-tion. Is it too late? Maybe!

Environment second for NDPDear Editor:

Re: Speak up for the environment, Lettersto the editor, Burnaby NOW, Aug. 29.

It has been heartening to see that notonly Greens recognize the inconsistency ofthe B.C. NDP’s policies with respect to theenvironment. They oppose the building ofthe Northern Gateway pipeline. Buildingthis pipeline is a slap in the face to thescores of First Nations that have terri-tory along the route and have voiced theiropposition to the project. The potentialdamage to the ecosystems in the area is fartoo great.

On the other hand, the NDP is sup-portive of constructing a 463-kilometrepipeline that will transport natural gasfrom Summit Lake, 55 kilometres north ofPrince George, to Kitimat where it will beliquified and shipped abroad.

The process of “fracking” unconven-tional natural gas from shale requires mil-lions of gallons of fresh water. The water ispolluted with a cocktail of chemicals thatinclude known carcinogens.

The NDP is a labour party. Given thechoice between protecting union jobs orprotecting the environment, the NDP willside with the unions. That is where themoney is. That is where their voting baseis. It is highly likely the NDP will form thenext government in British Columbia, butthat is no guarantee that environmentalprotection will improve over the next fiveyears.

MORREY NISSAN4450 Still Creek Drive, Burnaby, BC

Tel: (604) 291-7261 www.morrey.burnaby.nissan.ca

Teachers are heading back to theclassroom with less than one year leftto go on a contract that was imposedby the provincial government thissummer.

“After a long and difficult roundof negotiations, we were compelledinto this process under huge threatof fines and further punitive legisla-tion,” said Susan Lambert, head ofthe B.C. Teachers’ Federation. “Wehave been able to achieve some mod-est improvements, but above all, wesucceeded in getting government totake its concession demands off thetable.”

In response to the ongoing labourdispute, the provincial governmentbrought in Bill 22, which prohibitsteachers from striking and imposedhefty fines if they do. Teachers with-drew from extracurricular activities

before summer break, and the pro-vincial government imposed a two-year contract, retroactive one yearand set to expire in June 2013.

According to Lambert, the pro-vincial government moved over onkey areas the teachers’ union wasconcerned about (seniority andteacher evaluations, for example), butthere are no salary increases (whichLambert said translates to a pay cutwhen inflation is factored in), andclass size and composition are stillbones of contention. Teachers rati-fied the agreement in June, but theirunion will have to head back to thebargaining table in spring and startall over again with newly definedobjectives.

The provincial election is set forMay 14, 2013, and the teachers’ agree-ment expires roughly a month-and-a-half later on June 30, leading some tospeculate the Liberals chose the dateto ensure smooth sailing while British

Columbians head to the polls.“You’ve got to wonder why

they would put that kind of date inthere. Normally, the term of a collec-tive agreement is also negotiated,”Lambert said. “This one is legisla-tively imposed.”

Lambert said that unions wereunder attack, especially in the U.S.,and that corporations are influencinggovernment policy, while opposingthings like minimum wage. Accordingto Lambert, the Harper governmenthas followed the American lead, andthe provincial government has also“in much more mute ways, done thesame.

“It’s not in the public’s interest totry to attack unions. Unions protectpeople from abuses in the workplace.Unions are the ones that promotehealth and safety standards at work,”she said. “I think that the union move-ment is a positive force for change insociety.”

Teachers go back to thebargaining table in spring

umbilical cord wrappedaround her arm and cutoff Isabella’s circulation.She’s subsequently grownup with her left armamputated close to theelbow. It’s something thatelicits stares or questionsfrom other kids that can betiresome at times. It’s alsosomething that’s made hernervous to speak in frontof strangers.

“I think I didn’t havethat much courage(before). I am still a littleshy now, but before I wasreally shy because meetingnew people that you don’tknow might be a little dif-ferent, it might be scarysometimes,” she says.

In Brownies, having tostand in front of a groupand do badge presenta-tions has helped Isabella’sconfidence.

“When you get a newbadge, you have to showit to the group, talk aboutit or maybe bring some-thing,” she says.

If you ask her how shenow feels about meetingnew people, she says shefeels great.

“If you stand up andtalk to people, you won’tbe so much shy,” she says.

That blossoming confi-dence is what earned herthe award – a special pinto wear with her uniform,and there’s a certificatethat goes with it. Isabella’smom helped nominate her,and Scouts members voted

online for the winners,which were announcedMay 30.

“She was the onlyBrownie in WesternCanada that won theaward,” Dad says.

“I feel really lucky,”Isabella says. “I was reallyexcited, right Daddy?”

“You were, it was reallycool,” he says.

“I was jumping up anddown a lotbecause I wonthe award.”

“Andthen, whatwas the firstthing you toldme though?Remember?You said allthe other girls.I was drivingyou to school,and what didyou say in thecar?”

“I felt a lit-tle sad for theother girls,”Isabella says.

The ones who didn’twin, her dad adds.

Stephen thinks it’s allpretty amazing.

“Brownies has beengood for her, but it’s beengood for the other girls‘cause they can see that’Bella can do things thatthey can do even thoughshe only has one hand,right?” he says. “‘Bella,you’re pretty used to beinglooked at, aren’t you?”

“Yeah.”

“You’ve always kind ofhad to deal with people,especially younger kidsasking questions and talk-ing about your arm,” hesays.

“I am.”“So you’re pretty good

at answering questionsanyway, and you’re cer-tainly used to being staredat,” he says.

“Yeah. … It gets a littleold after kidsask me a lotof times aboutmy arm,”Isabella says.

As foradvice toothers whomay be strug-gling withconfidence,Isabella, withhelp fromdad, suggestsdoing some-thing socialand joininga group likeBrownies.

Isabella’s award profilesays she has made manynew friends in Browniesand that they see that shecan do anything they can,even with a missing arm.

“Sometimes I do thingsdifferently and sometimesthe same,” she wrote. “Ihave proven that any girlcan participate in guiding,even if they have a dis-ability.”

“She’s a great girl,”Dad says.

A SALUTE TOLABOUR UNIONSLABOUR DAY

Why do unions matter?The Canadian Labour Congress points

out that the Canadian trade union move-ment is all about: improving the everydaylives of working people: better pay, betterbenefits, better pensions, longer vacations.

Some highlights:Better pay: When it comes to wages of

non-managerial employees, union mem-bers typically make over $5 per hour ($5.09)more than non-union workers. The differ-ence is even greater for female employees,who generally earn almost $6 more thantheir non-unionized counterparts.

Better pay equality: Through collectivebargaining, unions typically make wagesmore equal among workers, and thereforeensure that fewer people are left with low-paid jobs. As a result, only eight per centof union members earn less than $10 anhour, as compared to a third of non-unionemployees.

Betterbenefits:Benefitssuchasapensionplan, medical plan and dental plan have abig impact on quality of life. Unionized jobsprovide better benefits, across the board,for both men and women. For example, in1995:◆ 79 per cent of working women repre-sented by a union had a pension plan.◆ Only 32 per cent of working womenwithout a union had a pension plan.◆ 78 per cent of working women with aunion had a medical plan.◆ Only 40 per cent of working womenwithout a union had a medical plan.◆ 72 per cent of working women with aunion had a dental plan.

◆ Only 38 per cent of working womenwithout a union had a dental plan.

Longer vacations: When it comes tovacations and paid holidays (such as Easter,Christmas and Thanksgiving), unionizedworkers come out ahead. More than sevenout of 10 unionized workers had 11 or moredays of paid holidays during the calendaryear. Seven out of 10 unionized workersalso had at least four weeks of paid vaca-tion after eight to 10 years of service.

Better pensions: A pension plan is a keycomponent in a person’s ability to maintaina decent income after retirement. In 2000,senior Canadians with access to a pensionhad an average income twice as high asthose without a pension – $28,000 versus$14,000. While 43 per cent of all Canadianemployees have a pension plan at work,about 80 per cent of unionized workershave access to one, as opposed to only 27per cent of non-union workers.

Weekends: It wasn’t that long ago thatworking people couldn’t count on a week-end. Even the 40-hour work week is arelative newcomer to the workplace. Twogenerations ago, only five provinces hadlaws limiting the number of hours yourboss could make you work.

Unions made the difference. It took asustained effort on two fronts: bargainingwith employers and then putting pressureon governments. But working people car-ried the day, winning limits on work hoursand the five-day work week.

OFFICE OF THE MAYOR

Congratulations to all City ofBurnaby staff and to all Burnaby

citizens for making Burnaby a greatplace to live, work, learn and play.

As we all celebrate Labour Dayin honour of working people in

Burnaby and beyond,

WE WISH YOU ASAFE AND HAPPY

LABOUR DAYWEEKEND.

The origins of Labour Day in Canadatrace back 140 years to 1872 and a paradeheld in support of a Toronto union’sstrike for a 58-hour work week.Back then, union activity wasillegal in Canada and 24 work-ers were jailed for their role inthe strike.

An outcry of support andrally on Sept. 3, 1873 led PrimeMinister John A. MacDonaldto commit to repealing the lawbanning union activity, helpingto lay the groundwork for realprogress for working people.

Since 1894, when PrimeMinister John Thompsondeclared Labour Day an officialholiday, working people havecelebrated our gains and hon-oured those who fought for therights and privileges we enjoy today.

Unfortunately, the last 30 years hasseen a troubling growth in inequality inour society.

From the Second World War through1980, working people shared equally inthe gains of productivity with sharehold-ers and owners through higher wagesand improved purchasing power. Butfrom 1980 forward, while productivity

increased at an even greater rate, workerswages stagnated and all gains of produc-tivity have gone to owners and seniorexecutives.

Today’s middle class family feels likethey are having a harder time making

ends meet, because they are.Meanwhile, the rich have neverbeen so rich.

On this Labour Day, how-ever, I look forward with opti-mism that we are turning a cor-ner towards greater equality.

Front-line workers in B.C.’spublic service are negotiatingfor fair and reasonable wageincreases. And despite theintransigence of Christy Clarkand Kevin Falcon, polling con-sistently shows that women andmen across British Columbiasupport these workers’ in theirsimple demand to not fall fur-ther behind or lose rights they

and their predecessors fought to secure.British Columbians want a fair and

equitable society, and they recognize thatthe front-line workers in our schools, hos-pitals, and social and government servicesare an important part of that society.

In the private sector, workers are once-again negotiating agreements that see

A message from the 46,000 members of the Hospital Employees’Union.


them share in the gains of their produc-tivity and the value of their work.

Recent agreements between workersand companies like Rio Tinto and TeckResources have put more income in thepockets of workers, and boosted the for-tunes of local communities.

Tax cuts for corporations and thewealthy are too often invested in overseascompanies or simply held as cash, creat-ing no local economic activity.

But when working people earnmore, they tend to spend it in their owncommunities.Just ask business own-ers in Trail, where employees of TeckResources, represented by the UnitedSteelworkers, negotiated a $10,000 signingbonus earlier this year.

Trail businesses in every sector, fromauto sales to restaurants to retail, imme-diately reported a significant increase in

economic activity in their community.These agreements are setting a pattern

for wage growth for all working people,whether in a union or not.

This is good news for working andmiddle class families and it’s also goodnews for our economy.

Liveable communities are anchored ina strong middle class and it was unionswho were responsible for the develop-ment of the middle class.

This Labour Day, as investment bank-ers and CEOs fight to hold on to a greaterand greater share of the wealth workingpeople generate, unions remain as rele-vant as they were 140 years ago when ourpredecessors fought to reduce the workweek to fewer than 60 hours.

We continue to fight for better workand better lives for all Canadians, and Iam hopeful that we are turning a cornertowards better times for us all.


Sinclair: The fight continues

There were 302,300 unionmembersworking in and around theGreater Vancouver region in 2011, over 29% of all employees. On average,they earned $4.93/hour more than non-union employees.That difference in pay put an extra $52.3 million every week into thelocal economy to support local businesses and community services.Workers in unions are an important part of the local community andeconomy because that’s where they spend their paycheques.

Communities with more union members enjoy relatively higher incomesoverall, and support a richer mix of businesses and services that diversifythe local economy and add to the overall quality of life. They are better placesto work and live.

TheUnion Advantage

United Way andunions share goals

United Way of the Lower Mainland andthe labour movement have been partnersfor more than 30 years, working towardsthe same community-building goals, andensuring that workers and their familieshave access to social servicesin their communities.

This year, as Canada cel-ebrates Labour Day, the part-nership is as strong as everand as critical to both organi-zations as they work togetherto achieve social change inthe Lower Mainland.

Each year the UnitedWay and labour partnershipbrings together hundreds oflabour volunteers within theworkplace to help raise fundsfor social change, specificallyto help break the cycle ofpoverty and prevent bullyingand social isolation – threekey priority areas for theUnited Way.

“United Way can’t dothis work alone,” says George Davison,secretary-treasurer of the Federation ofPost Secondary Educators of B.C. and thisyear’s united Way Lower Mainland cam-paign labour committee co-chair. “Labourand United Way, together, power positivechange and create a better future for chil-dren, seniors and their families, right here

in the communities we live in.”Co-chair Irene Lanzinger, secretary-

treasurer for the B.C. Federation of Labour,adds: “We all play a role in improvingthe lives of those who are vulnerable in

our communities. The moresolidarity we share with thecommunity in tackling theseissues, the stronger we are as amovement.”

This year, more than ever,the partnership between labourand the United Way is seen ascritical to raising the resourcesUnited Way needs to improvelives and strengthen communi-ties: B.C.’s child poverty ratehas been the highest in Canadasince 2002, bullying oftenmakes headlines and manyisolated seniors are vulnerableto poor physical and emotionalhealth.

Along with its labour part-ner, United Way of the LowerMainland will continue to

work on the root causes of social issuessuch as poverty, bullying and social isola-tion. United Way will do this by support-ing research; investing in organizationsthat deliver programs; advocating forchange, and evaluating its investments toensure long-term social change.

At the start of the school year, many sec-ondary and post-secondary students will betransitioning into part-time jobs in additionto their time in school.

These working experiences are valuablefor young people as they will learn skillsthat will be used throughout their adultlives.

However, it’s important that they andtheir parents are aware of their rights andresponsibilities at work.

For example:◆ An employer cannot pay workers lessthan minimum wage, and an employee

who reports for work must be paid for atleast two hours even if he or she works lessthan that amount of time.◆ Tips or gratuities are not wages.Employees must be paid minimum wage(or, if over 19 years of age and serving alco-hol, the liquor server wage) in addition toany tips or gratuities they receive.◆All employees must be paid at least twicea month, and a pay period cannot be longerthan 16 days.◆ Coffee breaks are given at the discretionof an employer. However, there are specificrules around meal breaks. For example,

employers must ensure employees do notwork more than five hours without a mealbreak, and meal breaks must be at least halfan hour long.◆ If the employer asks an employee to attendtraining or meetings on an employee’s dayoff or outside regular hours worked, theemployee may be eligible for overtime,minimum daily pay or other entitlements.◆ An employer may require an employeeto work overtime as long as the employerpays the applicable overtime wage rates,and the hours worked are not excessiveor detrimental to the employee’s health or

safety.◆ If an employer requires an employeeto wear a uniform or special clothing, theemployer must provide, clean and maintainit at no cost to the employee.◆ While employers are required to givenotice of termination after three months ofemployment, employees are not required togive notice of an intention to quit.

If you have questions about employ-ment standards, you can visit one of thenine branches throughout the province orcall 1-800-663-3316 or go online: www.labour.gov.bc.ca/esb.

Post-secondary cuts hurt B.C.’s futureThe start of the fall semester should be

a reminder to us all of just how impor-tant post-secondary education is to B.C.’sfuture. Much of the skills, knowledge andresearch that are critical to building amodern economy get their start at col-leges, universities and institutes. Whetherit’s a degree, diploma, certificate or com-pleted apprenticeship, the jobs of tomor-row require a post-secondary credential.According to the BC Business Councilmore than 75 per cent of all new jobs willrequire some form of post-secondary edu-

cation.Despite the obvious benefits

of post-secondary education, themost critical form of funding forpublic institutions – the provin-cial operating grants – has notkept pace with underlying needs.On a per-student basis, after tak-ing inflation into account, thatfunding has declined over thelast 10 years. What that meansat the institutions level is thatprograms are curtailed, wait-listsfor key courses grow longer, stu-dent support services are furtherreduced, and eventually faculty and staff

positions are cut.Across B.C. we have seen

many institutions hand out lay-off notices. Smaller rural col-leges like North Island Collegein Courtenay, NorthwestCommunity College in Terraceor College of the Rockies inCranbrook have all felt thepinch as chronic underfundinghas led to layoffs and programcurtailments. Here in the LowerMainland similar cutbackshave happened at KwantlenPolytechnic University and

Vancouver Community College where the

funding crunch has forced administratorsand faculty to further rationalize programofferings.

Students are the hardest hit in thisfunding squeeze. When course offeringsare reduced or wait-lists grow, that meansit will take longer to complete a degree ordiploma. Four-year degree programs typi-cally take six years or more for the averagestudent to complete.

Add to that higher debts from risingtuition fees and the burden for today’sstudents is significant.

B.C. can do better than that, but it takesinvesting more in post-secondary educa-tion to get us there.

Federation of Labour offers free ESL classesIn an effort to help immi-

grants in the British Columbiaworkforce, the B.C. Federationof Labour is offering a free ESLcourse this fall.

The evening workshops areopen to workers throughoutthe Lower Mainland, includingBurnaby and New Westminster,who want to improve their

English speaking skills whilelearning about workplace healthand safety.

“This program is actuallyunique in Canada,” said GordLechner, Director for the Healthand Safety Centre of the B.C.Federation of Labour. “We’re try-ing to overcome any barriers thatpeople have to accessing health

and safety information.”Participants will have an

opportunity to improve their lan-guage skills while learning abouttopics such as workplace vio-lence, preventing back injuries,workplace chemicals (WHMIS)and identification of hazards.

This is the sixth year the pro-gram has been offered in the

Lower Mainland, and is a well-used resource, said Lechner.

About 70 people have regis-tered, and organizers expect toadd more classes once the finallist of participants has been con-firmed.

The program was started inresponse to high profile trage-dies that highlighted the need

for increased awareness of healthand safety rights and responsi-bilities for new Canadians withlanguage or literacy barriers.

On March 7, 2007, a van car-rying 17 people (16 farm work-ers and a driver) was involvedin a motor vehicle accident nearAbbotsford that resulted in

the deaths of three immigrant workers andanother 14 with severe injuries.

In an unrelated incident in 2008, threeworkers were killed and two were left withpermanent brain damage after inhalingtoxic fumes in a shed at a Langley mush-room farm.

To help prevent such tragedies, the B.C.Federation of Labour initiated the ESL pro-gram to inform and empower immigrantand migrant workers.

Upon completion, participants in theprogram this fall will receive a certificateand be invited to a graduation dinner.

All levels of English are welcome, butparticipants must either be working orintend to work in B.C. sometime in the nearfuture.

The course runs from 5:45 to 7:45 p.m.Tuesdays and Thursdays for 14 weeks,starting Sept. 11, at 200-5118 Joyce Street (atthe Joyce SkyTrain station).

This program is coordinated and run bythe Health & Safety Centre, a division ofthe B.C. Federation of Labour, with fund-ing from the B.C. Workers’ CompensationBoard (WorkSafe B.C.)

CUPE bucks trend – membership is growingSince 1894, Labour Day has been cel-

ebrated in Canada as a national holidayrecognizing the achievements of workers.

The labour movement of the late nine-teenth century had a great influence onchanging federal legislation that affectedworkers across the country, and today,unions continue to organize for workers’rights.

Last year in this province alone, 4,600people joined a union, according to the B.C.Federation of Labour website.

The largest union in Canada and B.C. isthe Canadian Union of Public Employees(CUPE), which has about 85,000 workersin more than 170 local unions in this prov-

ince.CUPE B.C. represents workers in munic-

ipalities, education, libraries, universities,colleges, social services, health care, publicutilities, transportation, emergency servicesand airlines.

Unlike the private sector, where unionnumbers have decreased over the past fewdecades – mining and lumber being twoexamples – the public sector continues togrow as new employees are hired in theseindustries.

In the last seven years, CUPE B.C. hasgrown by about 15,000 members, accordingto Mark Hancock, secretary treasurer forthe union.

“As the communities grow, we’re con-tinuing to grow,” he said. “We continue togrow across Canada and across B.C.”

Besides representing members for arbi-tration and negotiating collective agree-ments, the union also works in communi-ties to promote public services.

The union’s latest campaign is called TheTen Percent Shift, which encourages peopleto spend at least 10 per cent of their moneylocally to support B.C. businesses.

The idea is to strengthen the provincialeconomy, said Hancock.

“Rather than spending our earnings asworkers on goods made in other countries,(it’s about) looking locally first. And it’sbeen very well received.”

People can sign up to take a pledge onthe union’s website to spend more of theirmoney on local products and learn moreabout supporting the local economy.

CUPE B.C. president Barry O’Neill hasbeen on tour throughout the province thisyear, stopping at various business and com-munity organizations to give presentationsabout the campaign.

Though it is difficult to buy all productslocally, Hancock said CUPE B.C. wants to

encourage shopping for those products thatare made or grown here.

“Let’s support the B.C. farmers and theB.C. producers,” he said. “It’s not just aboutfood, but that’s an easy example.”

As well as The Ten Percent Shift, theunion has organized other community-based support campaigns over the years,such as The Strong Communities Campaignstarted in 2002, in response to program cutsby the provincial government.

Another example is City Watch, a pro-gram designed to prevent and reduce crimeby having civilians act as support for police,watching out for suspicious activity in vari-ous communities.

To mark Labour Day this comingMonday, Sept. 3, CUPE B.C., along with theSteelworkers Union will sponsor a familypicnic hosted by the Hospital Employee’sUnion from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at JohnHendry Park at Trout Lake in Vancouver.

There will be hot dogs and face paintingand games for kids, as well as entertain-ment by rock group Chilliwack.

DIDYOUKNOW?

◆ In 1872, the Government of Canada passed An Act respecting TradeUnions designed to ensure that trade unions were regarded as lawfulinstitutions under Canadian law rather than organizations in “restraintof trade” that were illegal.◆ In 1873, Canada’s first national central labour body, the CanadianLabour Union, held its first convention in Toronto. Forty-five del-egates attended. Today the Canadian Labour Congress, Canada’s larg-est union central, has more than three million members.

B.C roads will soon see an influx of traffic asstudents head back to school. Just as schedulesget busier in the fall, so will our roads. Whenwe’re busy, it’s tempting to multi-task by talking,texting or emailing from your phone while intraffic or stopped at a red light. The reality isthat distracted driving is the third leading causeof fatal car crashes in B.C. which is why thisyear’s campaign is focusing on educating driversand helping them understand what is and isn’tallowed under the law.To help everyone get to where they’re goingsafely, ICBC wants to help dispel some of themost common misconceptions about distracteddriving:“I can call or text when I’m stopped at a redlight.” The law applies even when you’re stoppedat a light or in bumper-to-bumper traffic. Studiesshow that drivers who are talking on a mobilephone lose about 50 per cent of what is goingon around them, visually. When you’re stoppedat an intersection or slowed in traffic, you’re still

driving. We can all do our part — set an examplefor your passengers and other drivers — keep yourhands on the wheel and your eyes on the road.

“It’s okay to use some of the other features onmy phone while driving.” Under the law, driverscan’t use any hand-held electronics while driving— that includes checking voice mail, makingmusic selections, programming a GPS or lookingup phone numbers. In fact, you can’t even holdthe device in your hand while operating a vehicle.Ask a passenger to operate the device for you soyou can keep your focus on the road. If you’realone, turn off your cellphone and put it in thetrunk or back seat to avoid the temptation.

For the full list of common misconceptions aboutdistracted driving, visit icbc.com/road-safety.

ICBC is also offering free downloadableringtones at icbc.com/drivesmart. The ringtonesare available in a variety of genres from countryto reggae and help remind drivers not to respondto calls or texts while driving.

Is a title in Hyacks’ second decade?A lot has been accom-

plished in the first 10 yearsof the reinvigorated NewWestminster Hyacks highschool football program.But there is still a lot moreto come.

The Hyacks have yet totaste their first AAA con-ference football title or tostep out onto the turf atB.C. Place for a shot at aprovincial championshiptitle.

That could all change inthe next decade, said NewWestminster head coachFarhan Lalji.

“We should be a pro-vincial contender,” saidLalji. “It’s my target. WhatI want is consistency.”

What the Hyacks haveachieved since 2003, whenthe varsity football pro-gram was restarted, hasfor the most part, been ahistory of positive growth.

New West made theplayoffs in its first seasonof AA and the followingyear, scored its first post-season victory in the wild-card round in a memo-rable win over Ballenas atMercer Stadium.

The team went AAA in2005, earning a first-roundplayoff game against WestVancouver at B.C. Place.

In 2007, the Hyacks con-verted to a Wing-T offenceand fashioned arguably itsbest-ever season and play-off with post-season winsover W.J. Mouat and SouthKamloops before givingeventual runaway provin-cial champion Holy Cross,its stiffest test in the Hyackprogram’s first appearancein an AAA semifinal.

The following 2008 and‘09 seasons were equallyproductive for the Hyacks.

In ‘08 New West went 7-2 before meeting eventualchampion Terry Fox in thefinal four. The next sea-son, the Hyacks fashioned

a best-ever 9-1 record butlost out in similar fash-ion to another Coquitlamschool – Centennial.

“My most special yearas a coach was the playoffwin over Ballenas,” saidLalji. “But the best teamswere ‘09, ‘08, ‘05, and ‘07was probably there.”

Lalji sees a similar-ity with the 2007 team, asquad that spawned 13of The Record’s all-decadeteam candidates, and hiscurrent crop of prospects.

There were three yearsof kids on that team anda core group carried the

Hyacks through its mostproductive period to date.

“The truth is, I feel abit of that ‘07 team is inthis team,” Lalji said. “Wewere good everywhere– deep and balanced.”

Both this year’s varsityand junior varsity teamshave “fantastic chemistry”added Lalji.

“There were no expec-tations like the ‘07 team.I’m not kidding myself,the other teams are good,but this team has a chanceto put us back where webelong.”

With Tommy Robertson

in his second year asstarting quarterback andTristan Sands workinghard in practice to be hisgo-to man down field, NewWest is putting togetherthe necessary pieces.

Aldrin Asuncion, com-ing off an injured 2011season, headlines a deepbackfield, while linemenSonu Kainth and JV HarperSherman will complementJonathan He and JordanChin in the trenches.

But after the last twovarsity seasons, Lalji iscautiously optimistic aboutthe season ahead.

“Getting a title is hard.As good as you are, thereare three or four teamsjust as good,” Lalji said.“There is always going tobe Vancouver College andTerry Fox, or a Mouat orMt. Doug. You know whenyou get to the final four,there won’t be any easygames at that point. But thiswill be a good year for us.”

New Westminster putsits current all-time 32-19record at Mercer Stadiumon the line againstAbbotsford at the Hyackshome opener on Friday,Sept. 7.

Two of the best: Casey Chin, No. 54, and Jamie Wandell show the defensive tenacity that made the 2009New Westminster Hyacks varsity football team one of the best in the high school program’s first decade.

SENIORS GAMES


Martial artist second at worlds

Ali Fadaie of Burnabymade his last appearanceat the World MartialGames count.

The 34-year-old localfinancial planner andkarate black belt won a sil-ver medal in heavyweightcontinuous sparring atthe World Organizationof Martial Arts’ competi-tion at Telford, Englandon Aug. 19.

“I certainly wantedto get a medal,” saidFadaie, a North Burnabyresident.

“There are a lot ofchanges in life. I’m nota professional fighter. Ididn’t want to become50 or 60 and regret notwinning a medal. It’s ahigh-quality tournament.All you can do is givewhat you have, and I’mso glad I won a medal,”he said.

Fighting in the men’s

18-to-34 age class, Fadaiedefeated kickboxers fromthe United States andEngland before comingup runner-up against ayounger New Zealandfighter in the over-90-kilogram final.

“If it was my first fightagainst him, I win I think.It was my last tourna-ment. I didn’t want tocome up with any excus-es,” Fadaie added.

Fadaie began takingkarate lessons at the ageof six in his native coun-try of Iran.

He immigrated toCanada in 2003 andwon his first competitivemartial arts medal twoyears later at the WesternCanadian Challenge.

In 2006, Fadaie won asilver medal at the TigerBalm International andlater earned gold at theWestern Open martialarts championships.

He also representedCanada at two World

Martial Arts Games,earning a silver medal inIreland in 2008.

But, perhaps Fadaie’sbiggest challenge wasusing his years of experi-ence to medal in his finalcompetitive event beforebecoming a master ath-lete.

“It certainly was,”Fadaie said. “I just con-served my energy. … Ijust gave it whatever ittook.”

Fadaie works for theInvestors Group. Hismartial arts website iswww.warriorsclub.net.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Sept. 2 - 8, 2012★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: You work and receivenews ofwork (or discuss a new job/project) this week.Your home remains sweet – at least until Thursday,when a new romantic streak begins to slowlyemerge. (But work will still fill most of your days.) Youare coming close to wrapping up a long relationshipstruggle – the recently divorced, for example, willsoon feel free of the gloomy regrets. Your sexual andfinancial sides are raring to go all month. As long asyou aren’t too impulsive, go ahead. Watch for healthproblems, same period. Your energy, charisma riseSunday/Monday. Money luck midweek.Taurus April 20-May 20: Rest, lie low Sunday/Monday. Avoid commitments, promises. Your energyand charisma surge upward Tuesday to Thursday.You can attract romance, or winningly pursue it– and creative matters succeed, risky venturestoo – you’re a winner! (All these, creativity, love,even relations with children, swell with activityand talk until mid-September. This entire month,relationships of all kinds intensify, which can eat uplove – and enmity. For 18 months, don’t be “wilfullyalone.”) Chase money – carefully – Friday/Saturday.Sign nothing, avoid purchase agreements. An easy,smooth week.Gemini May 21-June 20: Sink into home,recuperation, gardening, family, kids. This zonebecomes very active and communicative to mid-month, and hard work seems to find you the entiremonth. (So that recuperation might be hard to find– but at least, grab a daily nap.) Your recent (mild)money luck lasts until Thursday. Until October, guardagainst cuts, bruises – be safe with machinery.Avoidover-heating, burns. Sounds dire – but in truth, yourluck is strong and growing. Sunday/Monday arewishful, but your wishes haven’t come true for threeyears – they will start coming true, Oct. 5 onward.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Errands, talk, emails,travel and curiosity fill this month. Ask questions,approach people, read. You’ll be very busy,especially the first half, but the stakes are not high,so be “relaxed busy.” You remain sweet, graciousuntil Thursday. All September, your romantic urgesswell; so does your courage. The entire month alsointensifies your creativity, especially in your career.(But go slow, cautiously in career zones and withauthorities Sunday/Monday, and generally beforeOct. 6.) Life’s sweet, you’re popular and flirtatiousmidweek – a wish comes true. Retreat late week.Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Chase money for the nextthree weeks. You’ll receive many offers (flyers?)to purchase until mid-month. You can “profitably”spend on stationery, telephones, auto, etc. UntilThursday, solitude is sweet, even desirable. ButThursday to early October, your more public,gracious, radiant side emerges: you’ll draw otherswith your honeyed demeanour. But all September,friction is just waiting for an excuse to erupt on thehome front, so keep that honey “in-house.” Legal,intellectual and travel matters hit barriers Sunday/Monday. Your career hits great luck midweek.Hopes, joy, Friday on!Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Your energy, charisma,clout and effectiveness hit a yearly peak this month– especially now to mid-September. See people (andbe seen) ask favours, tackle things that previouslyintimidated you,and start important projects. (But nottoo many: limit yourself to four or less.) You remainpopular in romantic ways, you attract glances untilThursday; after this, if you’re attached, draw yourloved one into private joys. You will hear secretsall month – and will feel deep sexual urges, wantimpatiently to alter your lifestyle, and be fascinatedwith finances and investments – all good.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Lie low, rest, avoidcompetitive situations. Until mid-month, you’ll hearsecrets or do much planning for the future, or simplybe surrounded with paperwork for the government,agencies, etc. Good stuff, but keep up with it. Youwill receive more money than usual until Oct. 5 – butyou will also experience an almost subconsciousurge to spend much more than usual. Bank it, orlose it. Bosses and parents favour you to Thursday;after this, your peers and friends do the same – so,despite your lowered energy and need for healingsolitude, you can also be surprisingly popular.Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Your popularity surgesfor a few weeks. You feel determined, courageous,sexy, potent. But don’t jump off a cliff just toimpress everyone! Moderation’s the key to roomsof accomplishment. Do enjoy social delights,flirtation(s) and the splendid optimism that flowsover you until late month. Wish and dream – theycan come true. One caution: now to February 2014,you would be wise to avoid marrying, forming abusiness partnership, or relocating. If single, enjoylove, but don’t commit. Work calls early week.Tuesday to Thursday bring great opportunities. Lateweek, finances.Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Be ambitious to lateSeptember. Talk, planning and detail work fill yourcareer and status zone for the next two weeks. AGemini or Virgo figures prominently. The time forpower plays is prior to Thursday – after this, yourevert to being more interested in meanings andmorals, the big picture, the “why” of events. (Thisis a better state overall as it tends, for you, to bringlove – whereas power plays bring you perilouslyclose to tawdry things.) All month, romance takes aback seat. Work succeeds splendidly midweek, butnow to early 2014, avoid overdoing work.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Your mind expands andgrows calmer, more assured. Until Oct. 5, your hopesgrow, especially about real estate, children, home,security and retirement matters. However, this samearea meets familiar barriers, so don’t act impulsivelyon those hopes. Romance, creativity, speculation andrisk attract you, and succeed splendidly, Tuesday toThursday – but this entire zone needs sober “secondthoughts” right into February 2014. Tackle choresFriday/Saturday. Others treat you sweetly untilThursday: after this, a month of financial reward andintimate beauty begins. Love exists!Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Sexual and financialurges dominate. Careful what you casually sayor promise Sunday/Monday – it might lead to anawkward situation later. Attend to home, kids,retirement prospects, security – and soak up MotherNature – Tuesday to Thursday. This area is blessedright now, but slowly turn your attention elsewherenow to February 2014. For example, DON’T buy anew home – put your energies in your career instead.That area, career, heats up this month (to Oct. 5) – beflexible and good humoured with the boss, police andparents. Friday/Saturday bring romantic instability.Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Relationships fillthis month – so do relocation prospects, possiblecontracts, negotiations, litigation, divorce, marriage,partnership dealings, dealings with the public, evenfame. You face major opportunities, and, perhaps,major opposition. Co-workers will be affectionate. DONOT start a lawsuit. You can make money (all month)from the media, education, travel and/or foreign-bornpeople. Still, earnings are an obstacle course foryou for some years ahead. (Hint: pick fame over $.)Errands, emails and travel speed splendidly midweek.Home is attractive yet jumbled late week.
