TransLink’s proposal to build a gon-dola up to the top of Burnaby Mountain isbeing met with both community supportand opposition.

The student society at Simon FraserUniversity is holding a social media con-test this spring to promote the project, buta community group opposed to the pro-posal is calling the contest misguided.

“It’s a desperate attempt to draw atten-tion (to) a molehill,” said Chris Rarinca,with Citizens Opposed to the Gondola.“That’s really what it is; it’s a molehill interms of transportation. It’s destructive,and at the same time, it doesn’t resolve themajor transportation issues in the LowerMainland.”

Rarinca lives in the Forest Groveneighbourhood at the foot of BurnabyMountain.

He says he and other residents in the

area feel a gondola would create unwant-ed noise and take away the privacy hom-eowners currently enjoy in the denselytreed area.

“We are a peace and quiet kind of placewith not many commercial venues, andpeople living there really like it that way,”he said. “What they want to propose is nota nice gondola up a mountain; instead it’sa very intensive and super high volumemass transit line with cabins the size ofsmall buses, going over our heads every

20 seconds.”The gondola would start near the

Production Way SkyTrain Station, atLougheed Highway and Production Way,and end atop Burnaby Mountain at a busloop, with no stops along the way.

For students and residents who com-mute daily to and from the mountain, thegondola would afford a quicker commute,according to SFU student society externalrelations officer Meaghan Wilson.

Contest called misguided by gondola critics

Premier Christy Clark is singling outBurnaby as the decisive factor in winning thenext provincial election.

Clark was speaking at a Liberal party lunchon Monday, at Domenico’s Italian Restaurantin Burnaby Heights. There were roughly 100people in attendance, many from the Italiancommunity.

“You know how close all of these ridingswere in the last election, and the only waywe will win government is if we win theBurnaby ridings. So, no pressure, but really, itall depends on you,” she said, addressing thecrowd. “We need free enterprisers, people whocare about the private sector, people who shareour values, to really step up in this electioncampaign.”

Clark also spoke about growing upin Burnaby with parents who had to bal-ance the family budget and how she sees the

It was an era when emotions ran high, in the1940s, right after the Second World War, whena longtime Nelson Elementary teacher lost itduring show and tell.

As retired teacher Janet White tells thetale, a little boy had brought a German flag toschool to show his classmates. The boy toldthe class how his dad had obtained the flag inthe war, and the kids were supposed to passit around. But when the first student took theflag, the teacher lost it.

“Her face went red, she suddenly yelledat the kid, ‘Spit on it! Spit on it!’” White says.“That was the era. Every kid in the room spaton the flag. And then that little boy had to takehome a soaking wet flag.”

That’s the kind of story you won’t hearthese days, but it’s very much reflective of theculture then, White says.

That story is one of several White plans toinclude in a book chronicling the history ofBurnaby’s schools.

White, 70, is president of the Burnaby branchof the B.C. Retired Teachers’ Association, andshe’s been working on History of BurnabySchools, 1893 to 2013 for several years with thehelp of a volunteer committee of mostly retiredteachers, the school district and the City ofBurnaby.

Each of Burnaby’s 69 schools will haveabout three or four pages of pictures, history ofthe buildings and any related stories. (Burnabynow has 49 schools, but many have openedand closed over the years.)

White recalls another tale, told by a formerstudent of David Gray, who was a teacher andprincipal at Nelson Elementary and an excel-lent baseball player who employed his supe-rior aim while disciplining students.

“He could be writing on the board, and ifhe heard a student misbehaving behind him,he could wing around and flick his chalk at thekid he knew had done the dastardly deed, andhe would get ‘em every single time,” Whitesays.

But some things haven’t changed. Whitetalks about how children would come to schoolwithout food, especially in the 1930s, and onemother would cook for the students at lunch.At Douglas Road Elementary, which openedin 1908, children would lather their feet withoil to keep them warm for the walk to school.Douglas Road students had to hitch hike to getto home economics class, which was at a dif-

ferent location.There are juicier stories, but they will be

left out of the book and off the record, becauseWhite wants to keep things upbeat and posi-tive.

“Of course there were some bad times andhard times, not-so-good teachers and goodteachers, but we want to keep the book on anupbeat positive note, because Burnaby wasreally an excellent district and an excellent dis-trict to teach in,” she says.

White should know. She attended localschools and went on to teach in Burnaby forclose to four decades before retiring in 2002.

“I sort of know the history,” she says. “I’vebeen to many of the schools as a student, as ateacher, as a parent.”

White is hoping the book will be out this fallor early next year.

The school district and the city partnered tocreate a printing fund for the project, so whenthe book is finished, there will be money to pub-lish it. The B.C. Retired Teachers’ Associationalso donated $1,500.

White says the book will likely be availablethrough the heritage commission, or it may be

Burnaby’s Brian Bonneyhas resigned from his CEOpost with the CanadianHome Builders’ Association,following the release of thedamning Dyble report inves-tigating the misuse of govern-ment resources for partisanpurposes.

According to a mediastatement posted on theassociation’s website, Bonneyresigned because of theDyble report, “which he feltcompromised his ability towork in the best interests ofthe residential constructionindustry.”

“CHBA B.C. is the voiceof the residential constructionindustry in British Columbia.It is a non-partisan organi-zation dedicated to fosteringa housing environment inwhich the industry operateseffectively and professionallywhile maintaining afford-ability and profitability,” theassociation stated.

The Dyble report, releasedon March 14, found Bonneyhad misused governmentresources while workingin communications for themulticulturalism ministry, apost he held for more thana year. The investigation,spearheaded by deputy min-ister John Dyble, suggestedBonney spent as much as halfhis time working for the B.C.Liberals on government time.After the report was released,Premier Christy Clark paidback $70,000 to the publiccoffers for Bonney’s partisanactivities while working inthe public service.

Also highlighted in theDyble report, then-multicul-turalism minister John Yapknew three people who wereapplying for community liai-son positions with the govern-ment. Bonney and Mike Lee,Yap’s executive assistant, hadhelped the three with theirapplications, giving them anunfair advantage.

“The current 145 bus (route) is just notefficient enough for SFU students and theBurnaby Mountain community,especially because it is a grow-ing community,” she said.

The “We Like It On Top”social media contest, hosted bythe SFU student society, asksundergraduate students to sub-mit video, photos and othermedia that promotes the gon-dola project in the SFU andwider Burnaby communities.

Results of the contest will bepostedonthesociety’sFacebookpage to increase awareness andpromote TransLink’s proposal.

Wilson said ideally, the con-test will help to move the gondola projectforward, but the purpose is also simply toget students involved in the consultationprocess.

The estimated cost of the project is $120million, with annual operating costs rang-ing between $3 and $3.5 million, accordingto a study done in 2011 by an engineeringconsultation company.

The study concluded the concept had

“considerable merit” – reducing green-house gasses with fewer buses on the routeand saving time for commuters headingto and from the mountain, according to

TransLink’s media relationsofficer, Derek Zabel.

“Of course with all ourexpansion projects, our existingfunding does not allow us topursue this project at this time,but will be considered for inclu-sion in future plans,” he said.

Zabel noted funding is cur-rently being put towards thenew Evergreen SkyTrain line,and will next be consideredfor rapid transit in Surreyand the Broadway corridor inVancouver.

A discussion with regionalstakeholders, the SFU community and localresidents would also be necessary beforeproceeding with the gondola project, hesaid.

“If this plan does go ahead, we’re goingto have to do a lot of consultation withpeople in the neighbourhood, concernedgroups, and try to address all of their needsas best as possible, and do it in a way thatcan hopefully satisfy everybody.”

We all know housingprices have gone wayup. For those who

bought homes decades ago,higher housing prices meanmore wealth.

But what’s been good formany retiring parents is general-ly bad for their kids and grand-children. High home pricessqueeze generations under age45 with crushing debt, whichthey must pay with wages thathave fallen compared to a gener-ation ago, and in jobs that rarelycontribute pensions.

So far, governments havebeen slow to respond for young-er generations. Each year, theyallocate just $12,000 for benefitsand services per person underage 45, compared to around$45,000 per retiree.

This generational spend-ing gap no longer works. Sohow do we make governmentbudgets work once again for allgenerations? That’s what peopleask me as a UBC professorand founder of the GenerationSqueeze campaign.

My answer is simple. Talk.Party. Act.

Talk about Canada’s proudhistory of adapting socialpolicy to address challengesfacing entire generations. Forexample, far too many seniorsstruggled in the 1960s and ‘70s.In response, citizens voted forgovernments that built theCanada Public Pension plan andOld Age Security, along withMedical Care to ensure no onewould go bankrupt when theywound up sick in a hospital.

These policies account formuch of the $45,000 Canadiangovernments now spend eachyear per retiree, and they havedramatically reduced the eco-nomic pressures facing millionsof seniors today compared to thepast.

Talk more about how you oryour adult kids are coping withlower wages and higher costs ofliving. The typical 25 to 34-year-old now earns $20 an hour forfull-time work, $4 less than in1976 after adjusting for inflation.They earn less even though theyare twice as likely to have post-secondary education.

With lower incomes and lar-ger student debts, young peopleface housing prices that haveskyrocketed. The average cost ofhousing in Greater Vancouveris now around $780,000. A gen-eration ago, it was just $62,000– or $240,000 in today’s dol-lars. Behold the burdens ofGeneration Squeeze.

Electric charging stations signal a good startAuthorities are moving ahead on offer-

ing places for electric vehicles to stop andcharge up – and that’s a good thing.

Along with provincial initiatives,we’re going from a dearth of chargingstations to a sudden abun-dance, something that canonly be good for those alreadydriving – or considering buy-ing – all-electric cars. Just last weekendBrentwood Town Centre installed acharging station in its parking lot.

An interesting point for those who

don’t have electric cars is the price: theelectricity will be free at some stations,and available at cost at others.

If it cost the same amount to fill anelectric car’s batteries as it does to fuel a

conventional car at a gas pump,we’d be up in arms about it.But as it turns out, the dollarvalue is nominal. It’s estimated

that an electric re-fuelling will use about$2 worth of electricity.

Even with the shortened range ofelectric vehicles compared to conven-

tional, that’s a pittance. Providing a placewhere vehicles can get a relatively quicktopping-up of their batteries is a goodservice that will start to reduce emissionsthat are not only causing global warming,but are damaging to human health. In thecontentious arguing over climate change,it is often forgotten that air pollution,including that from cars, is still linked tolung cancer and asthma.

Welcome as they are, the vehiclecharging services will be successfulenough that more people will start buy-

ing electric cars, and that will get the pri-vate sector more involved.

We’ll really know the electric vehiclemovement is up and running when gasstations, coffee shops, or burger jointsstart installing their own electric char-gers. When you can get an electric boostwith a latté or a side of fries, that’s whenmunicipal stations should either retiretheir charging stations, or start chargingfor the power.

When you can make money off it, youknow it’s here to stay.

Party across B.C.with Gen Squeeze

Liberals don’t support B.C. filmDear Editor:

As someone who has worked in the B.C. filmindustry for more than 40 years, I am appalled to seethe lack of support from the B.C. Liberals.

I remember when the first big productions cameto Vancouver in the late 1960s, at that time there wereonly a handful of local B.C. members employed. Therest were from the United States and elsewhere.

Through patience and support this industry grewfrom those handful of people to an industry employ-ing more than 25,000, and about 90 per cent are alllocals. It was the third largest film production centrein North America, with Los Angeles No. 1, New YorkNo. 2 and Vancouver No. 3, up until recently.

It is a well known fact that producers from theU.S. and other countries love B.C. for their film pro-ductions. We have the locations. We are also onlytwo-and-a-half hours from Los Angeles, and we havethe professional film techs who have the knowledgethat can get the job done, along with the best studiofacilities. But with the economy such as it is, they areforced to go elsewhere.

It also added a $2 billion industry to the provinceof B.C. People were employed and paying taxes. Ithas helped local businesses grow. Throughout theyears it took a lot of effort to build this industry towhere it was, thanks to the people involved, that isuntil the B.C. Liberals came in to power.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Talking politics isimportant. But so is havingfun. Social change has longbeen about both.

Think about the ’60sand ’70s. People weredebating war, civil rightsand gender equality, all inthe middle of “sex, drugsand rock and roll.”

Since we don’t havenearly as much fun talk-ing politics these days,the Generation SqueezeCampaign is invitingpeople to party across theprovince. In pubs, hotels,concert halls, parks, andpeople’s homes. Overcocktails or coffee or ameal. Listening to music;sometimes even dancing.

While partying, weoffer the chance to changewhat we know. Peopleleave the parties know-ing no one is person-ally responsible for lowerwages or higher housingcosts. That’s just bad tim-ing. Bad luck.

People also leaveknowing that it’s OK toquestion whether we’vedone enough to adaptfor younger generations,

which is not obvious solong as governmentsspend only $12,000 peryoung person, comparedto $45,000 for each retiree.

When we change whatpeople know, we oftenchange how they feel.

Too many youngpeople feel embarrassedthat it now takes 15 yearsto save a 20-per-cent downpayment on an averagehome, when it used to takefive years in 1976. Toomany feel anxious that itis far harder to establishfinancial stability thantheir parents did at thesame age a generation ago.

But once we knowabout the squeeze, manyof us move from feelingshame to renewed confi-dence. Confident that it isnot a problem we causealone, but it is a problemwe can solve together.

That’s because chan-ging what we feel oftenchanges how we act. GenSqueeze parties resultin many people from allwalks of life adding theirvoice in support of a bettergenerational deal. One thatsafeguards the medicalcare and retirement secur-

ity on which our agingloved ones depend, whilealso enabling younger gen-erations to deal with thelower incomes, higher stu-dent debts, and far higherhousing prices currentlycompromising the familiesthey have, or the familiesthey may one day want.

Check out www.gensqueeze.ca for parties nearyour community. If youdon’t see a date yet, con-tact [email protected],and we’ll come co-host theevent together.

Our goal is to holdmany more events beforeMay 14, when candidatesfrom all political partiesare listening carefully toyour voices.

Talk. Party. Act. That’show we can adapt for GenSqueeze as we do for retir-ees. To make it affordableto start families, pay downstudent debt, and reducethe time it takes to save fora home by years.

Paul Kershaw is a policyprofessor at the Universityof British Columbia and canbe reached at gensqueeze.ca. This is one of a series ofhis columns running in theBurnaby NOW.


Change: Also about fun

Millions of dollars were invested in localstudios like Bridge Studios and many more.These people invested their time, money,hearts and confidence so the industry couldbe the success it recently was.

In the past, all B.C. governments sup-ported the industry, as it brought in morerevenues than the tax breaks it received.

The B.C. Liberals talk about creatingjobs, but where are they? It is all talk noaction, while they spend millions of ourtaxes on ads promoting their party.

Cody Tabois, Burnaby

Support for Christy ClarkDear Editor:

I’m afraid it’s time for all of us in B.C.to start thinking about who to vote for inthe provincial election this spring. It’s not adecision I’m taking lightly, especially whenI think about what the future holds for theyounger members of my family.

One thing I would like to say, however,is how appalled I am about the unfair treat-ment Premier Christy Clark seems to get.

She doesn’t seem to be getting a fair shake.But then, putting on my sexist hat, per-

haps it’s not very surprising. As a womanmyself, and having worked and competedin a man’s world, it once again demon-strates to me that a woman must jugglehome, work and perception on a daily basisin a way her male counterparts never do.

All the women who have been leadersin our country, from prime minister to pre-mier, have never been able to demonstratefully what they could do. They’ve onlybeen a stop gap for the next male leader.For once, I would like to see what a womancould do with her vision of our future.

That’s why I’ve decided to supportClark. One of my main reasons is she hasstarted on a path that leads her governmentand our province in a direction I would liketo see reach completion. As a daughter,wife, mother, and grandmother, I’ve seenhow we’ve gotten to where we are now andI’m anxious for a change.

Let’s see what Clark can do. Not onlydo I feel I can trust her, it’s also clear sheis focused on creating jobs for the youngermembers of our society, and that is some-thing they can literally take to the bank.

Clark also spoke to the crowd aboutBurnaby-Lougheed MLAHarry Bloy, who shedescribed as a dear friendshe’s known since she was10 years old.

“He’s not running in thenext election, but he hasmade a tremendous, tremendous contri-bution for Burnaby and for the province,”she said. “As a result of four or five years’hard work, Harry Bloy has finally gottena permanent statue, a permanent memo-

rial to all the firefighters who have diedin the line of duty, onto the lawns of thepeople’s house so that everyone whocomes and visits can take a moment toremember the sacrifices those men andwomen make every single day, puttingtheir lives on the line on our behalf - and

that’s just one of the thingsthat Harry Bloy has accom-plished in over 10 years inpublic life.”

Gloria and DomenicCuccione, who run the

Michael Cuccione Foundation, helpedorganize the event, and Burnaby NorthMLA Richard Lee attended, as didShian Gu, the new Liberal candidate forBurnaby-Deer Lake.

from our three liaisons,” Lee wrote in anemail sent to Yap and copied to Bonney.“I have send [sic] them reminder emailsto double-check their application and ulti-mately check for any trace of I and Brian’sinvolvement. It is absolutely critical thatwe do not leave any evidence in us helpingthem through this application. Other thanthat let’s hope these applications make it tothe final round!”

“Great job,” Yap replied. “Let’s nowhope for the best.”

According to the Dyble report, “Brian

Bonney did not create a clear distinctionbetween his volunteer role with the B.C.Liberal Party and his role in the publicservice. His actions resulted in a seriousbreach of the standards of conduct.”

Bonney resigned from the govern-ment communications job on Feb. 21 andstarted with the Canadian Home Builders’Association four days later on Feb. 25. InFebruary, he told the NOW he thought hewould stay with the association till retire-ment. His resignation is effective immedi-ately.

The NOW contacted Bonney, but he saidhe wasn’t ready to comment yet.

Burnaby promotingcycling program

The City of Burnaby is stepping on thecycling-promotion pedal in support ofupcoming bike events and courses.

Council approved a $9,200 expenditureto help fund Bike to Work Week, Bike toSchool Week, a bike map and StreetwiseCycling courses.

“On an annual basis, the (transporta-tion) committee considers funding a num-ber of programs and events to promotecycling as an alternative mode of trans-portation,” Lou Pelletier, director of plan-ning and building, stated in the report tocouncil. “The city has promoted cyclingthrough its own efforts, and by supportingthe work of others.”

Last year, the city approved $9,000toward the same programs.

This year’s funding will be brokendown as follows: the bike map will receive$2,400, the cycling courses will have $1,800,Bike to Work Week will get $3,500 andBike to School Week will get $1,500.

The bike map is distributed to the pub-lic for free and can be picked up at any citycommunity or recreation centre, library,tourist centre, city hall or at Metropolis atMetrotown. It is also available on the city’swebsite at www.burnaby.ca.

HUB, formerly known as the VancouverArea Cycling Coalition, is expected tocontinue its Bike to Work Week program,which includes week-long events in thespring and fall, according to the staff

report.This year, HUB is proposing four com-

muter stations in the city (two in June andtwo in November).

The Bike to School Week programoffers courses, presentations and celebra-tions tailored to the needs of each schooland runs at the same time as Bike to WorkWeek, according to the report.

Since it started in 2010, more than 5,100students, staff and parents in more than 40schools (in eight school districts across theLower Mainland) have participated in theprogram.

In Burnaby, HUB is proposing eightstudent training and two celebrationevents at the elementary and secondaryschool levels.

HUB is expected to provide follow-upreports and surveys after the events, thereports states.

The on-going Streetwise Cycling cours-es provide no-cost training for would-becyclists on safety. Two courses are beingproposed for Burnaby.

“Both the internal and external promo-tion programs contribute to the broadercommunity and individual benefits, suchas improved fitness, less pollution andreduced greenhouse gas emissions asthe proportion of trips made by cyclingincreases,” Pelletier states in the report.

The city is funding the project throughits boards, committees and commissionsbudget.

13 Top 5 things to do

Burnaby’s original Rotary Club is hosting a cosmo-politan evening of culinary delight in May, featur-ing dishes from around the world.

Club members have pulled recipes from their home-lands, and students in Burnaby Central Secondary’sACE-IT culinary arts program will prepare the dishes.

“Every member, I’ve askedthem to come up with dishesthey would like to highlightfor that show,” said AugustusCruickshank, public relationschair for the Rotary Club ofBurnaby. “Rotary preachesmulticulturalism and peace,… so I think it’s great for thecommunity, and the youngpeople will be working alongwith Rotary.”

There will be stationsfor each type of cuisine– Caribbean, African, Indian,Chinese, Ukrainian and Greek– and each station will have afew samples.

The Caribbean section will have non-alcoholic gingerbeer, callaloo soup and Jamaican jerk chicken, for exam-ple, and the Greek dishes will be spinach pie, tzatzikiand beef stifado.

Due to health regulations, the Rotarians can’t pre-pare the food offsite and bring it, so they are using theopportunity to work with the students to highlightBurnaby Central’s cooking program. The students willbe preparing the dishes under the supervision of theRotarians, who are bringing their own recipes. TheACE-IT culinary arts program has 20 students, workingtowards credits for their high school graduation andthe chance to get their level one trade certification forcooks’ training. They work every day in the school’sstate-of-the-art kitchen, from 1:30 to 7:30 p.m., prepar-ing food for banquets and outside catering clients. The

school also runs a public restaurant out of one of theclassrooms on Tuesday nights.

Chef Stephen Wade, who oversees theculinary arts program, thinks the Rotaryevent will be great.

“It’s all about different cultures andunderstanding cultures,” he said. “(Thestudents) get to talk to people, they get towork with people they haven’t worked with before, getto speak with someone who is older than them.”

Students will also help sell tickets for the May 4event. The evening will mostly be people milling about,

with food samples and entertainment.“You’ll have over 20 dishes to sample, each coun-

try is producing about four dishes,”Cruickshank said. “I think it’s going to bevery interesting.”

The event is on Saturday, May 4 from6 to 10 p.m. Tickets are $35, and proceedsgo to Rotary. The Rotary Club of Burnabyis one of three local Rotary clubs and has

42 members, mostly people in the business community.For more information, go to www.rotaryburnaby.org.For tickets, call Cruickshank at 604-916-3077.

Think you can’t be taken? Check out these tipsWith less than two weeks left in Fraud

Prevention Month, the provincial govern-ment and Consumer Protection B.C. arekicking off their first annual ConsumerAwareness Week, dedicating seven daysto educating the public about consumerrights.

“We felt we (needed) to shine a lighton what consumers’ rights are in BritishColumbia law,” said Manjit Bains,vice-president of corporate relations atConsumer Protection B.C.

From March 15 to 22, the Ministryof Justice and Consumer Protection B.C.shared five tips a day under the theme of“Take Five.” The theme was chosen, notonly as a strategy to deliver tips, but as away to signal to consumers to think before

making purchases.“It nicely jives with providing some key

tips that can really resonate with consum-ers,” she said. “The focus is remindingconsumers to just step back and take sometime before entering into that contract ortransaction.”

Day one’s tips were thetop five tips of all-time forconsumers. These includedtrusting your gut, doingyour homework and stick-ing to a budget.

“We’re going to give some commonsense kind of tips that I think everybodyis already aware of, but sometimes we losesight of because of our emotions,” Bainssaid. “Remember, if an offer seems toogood to be true, it often is.”

Consumer Protection B.C. was foundedin 2004. With an office in Burnaby – located

at 4946 Canada Way, open from 8:30 a.m.to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, the publiccan visit them in-person with any queriesor concerns.

“We’re going into our ninth year now,and we’ve been working very closely with

consumers and businessesduring that time,” Bains said.

Consumer Protection B.C.receives about 15,000 callseach year from consumers andbusinesses looking for moreinformation about their rightsand obligations, she said.

The calls cover a variety of differentconsumer issues. From retail questions toquestions about debt collectors and eventime share vacation properties.

“The 15,000 calls are sort of all over themap, but it seems that consumers are start-ing to know where to go,” she said.

Some 3,000 calls last year were concern-ing debt collectors harassing people, eitherfor a debt owed by themselves or someoneelse.

Bains said there are ways to stop thecalls, especially if the debt collector is call-ing to collect a debt that isn’t your own.

“They can provide some informationto the debter, and they have to stop,” shesaid. “And if they don’t, (consumers) cancome to us, and we can take some enforce-ment action.”

Consumer Protection B.C. will continueto share tips with the public until March22. To access these tips, people can checkout www.consumerprotectionbc.ca or fol-low @ConsumerProBC on Twitter.

Information on consumer rights andmore can be accessed all year long atwww.consumerprotectionbc.ca.

“We’re going to try togive a book to every schoollibrary, that was our origi-nal aim,” she says.

Jim Wolf, the city’s heri-tage planner, has supportedthe project from Day 1.

“It’s not just a book, it’scapturing history while it’sstill with us,” he says.

Wolf says it’s fascinat-ing to look at how society’schanges are reflected in ourschools.

“There used to be gun

ranges in the schools, so thekids could be prepared forwar. It’s crazy, and whenyou start looking at the waythere were boys’ entranc-es and girls’ entrances,and the boys took manualtraining, and the girls tookdomestic science, and theywere taught to be goodlittle housekeepers and bethere for their man when hereturned home from a longday of work. It really reflectsthe changes in our society,”he says. “The smart kidswere shuffled off to aca-demic programs while the

other kids were shuffled offto manual training cours-es. Could you afford to gothrough high school, or didyou have to quit to supportyour family? There are a lotof stories there. They reallytell the story of us, whowe were and what we’vebecome.”

Two Burnaby businesses received a share of $9 millionfrom the federal government for developing clean technol-ogy projects in the province.

NuWave Research Inc. and Diacarbon Energy Inc.’sprojects in Burnaby were among 23 across the country toget the investment through the Sustainable DevelopmentTechnology Canada’s technology fund.

“This fund is helping realize the commercializationof clean technology in many sectors of the economy,including agriculture, transportation, mining and energy,”according to a media release.

NuWave developed a commercial crop-drying tech-nology, NuGenesis, which garnered $2 million from thefederal fund. It is a method for on-site commercial freezedrying of produce.

“NuGenesis technology is clean technology that reducesfood wastage and reduces emissions, while providingan opportunity for farmers to increase their sales,” GregStromotich, NuWave’s CEO, said in a media release.“Energy use will be reduced by 80 per cent compared tocurrent freeze-drying technology, while costs to transportthe food to the drying facility will be virtually eliminat-ed.”

NuWave is part of a consortium with Lally FarmsLtd., Canadian Farms Produce Inc., and A.H. Prahst andAssociates for this project, according to the release.

The other company to receive $1 million from the gov-ernment was Diacarbon for its bio-coal production facility.

“This investment will allow us to scale up our biofuelproject to provide a technological demonstration for theproduction of bio-coal using a self-sustaining, indirectheating approach,” said Jerry Ericsson, of Diacarbon.“Essentially we are working to convert Canada’s waste bio-mass into clean energy on a larger scale – something thatwill contribute to a healthier environment and Canadianeconomy.”

Diacarbon’s thermal biomass refinery is a system thatutilizes a thermo-chemical process to convert biomass intobio-coal, bio-oil and synthetic gas.

COMMUNITYRALLIES TO SAVELOCAL BUS SERVICELast November, Translink announced a proposal to optimize localbus service by making changes to the C1 and C2 shuttle routes– routes that have served the Burnaby Heights and Capitol Hillneighbourhoods for years. The proposed changes would havemade it harder for residents – especially seniors – to connect withbusinesses and health care providers along the Hastings corridorin the Heights neighborhood.

This proposal brought the community together. From socialmedia, to letters to the editor, to public consultations, residentscame out in force to convince Translink to change its mind.

I’m happy to say Translink listened. In a press release datedFebruary 25, 2013, the company confirmed the current routes forboth shuttles would not be changed.

I’d like to thank Translink for listening to the community and beingopen and receptive to the concerns of residents. I also want tothank everyone who contributed to a neighbourhood effort thatultimately changed Translink’s decision. This is indeed a victoryfor the entire community, and it wouldn’t have been possiblewithout the many seniors, students, business owners and transitriders who came together to make their voices heard and protectthe livability of our neighbourhoods.

Meet one of Burnaby’s local heroes – Tanaya Shaw

George Derby Centre residents enjoy a day of fishing at Silverbrook U-Catch Rainbow Trout Farm.

George Cleveland Derby leftCanada in 1916 to fight in theFirst World War. During thepreliminary fighting at VimyRidge, an exploding shell buriedhim in a trench and Derby wasleft with a disabled knee. Derbyhas since devoted his work tohelping veterans. He went on tobecome the Western RegionalAdministrator in Vancouver forthe Department of VeteransAffairs. In 1946, he negotiated landacquisition for a new veterans’hospital, and in that year, theGeorge Derby Centre was namedin his honour.

Today the George Derby Centreis a community-based residentialcare facility providing excellentcare and services to 300 residents

who are Canadian Veterans of theArmed Forces. But this is not whythe George Derby Centre is unique.In addition to 24-hour nursing,medical, clinic care, rehabilitation,physiotherapy, and occupationaltherapy, the centre also provides awide range of programs for boththe physical and mental well-beingof the residents.Yoying Orosa,Director of Therapeutic Programsat the George Derby Centrerecently explained to me how theoutstanding services they provideare very dependent on the “multilayers” of volunteers.

“We have volunteers throughoutthe entire organization.” Orosa said.The centre has a volunteer boardof directors.The gift shop is runby the George Derby Volunteers

Society.The society consists oflong-standing volunteers whotirelessly seek out the best dealin town in order to make a profit,so they can make donations topurchase items for improving thequality of life for the residents, suchas vital signs machines and bathingequipment.

The centre runs a very extensivearts program and music therapyprogram, and volunteers providehelp there. Latest research hasrepeatedly shown that art playsa major role in helping peoplewith dementia, and the centre hastaken this to heart and made it anintegral part of their therapeuticprograms.The program providesa variety of activities such asdrumming circles, story-telling,painting, weaving and more.“Theartwork produced is truly amazing.The creativity that is beingexpressed is quite phenomenal”said Orosa.Volunteers help draw“spares” for residents to paint on,sew fabric painted by residentsinto cushions or hot pads, etc.Volunteers also provide cloth-altering services, which is “veryimportant as residents gain andlose weight and this enables themto have clothes fit better withouthaving to go outside the facility.”

The centre has a contingent ofvolunteers for spiritual care whohelp the chaplain.They helpin a variety of ways includingtaking residents to services onthe weekends, and some also sitwith residents who are deemedto need palliative care and arecoming to the end of their lives.“The volunteers who do this arewonderful.They all bring backstories of how meaningful it hasbeen for them to sit with residentsat the end of their lives and familiesreally appreciate this, especially ifthey are from out of town and can’tcome in to be with the residentas soon as they need to be. It is areal comfort for them to know thatsomebody is there sitting withtheir loved ones.”

Orosa sums up how importantvolunteers are to the centreand what it means for everyoneinvolved, by telling me about avolunteer, a collector who regularlybrings in items for presentation. Heonce brought in sunken treasuresrecovered, and this led to someresidents’ realization of the dreamto go fishing. So volunteers tookresidents fishing. Quite a numberof them were fishermen in theirday, and this day out to a fishfarm became a competition ofwho caught the most fish! “All theresidents were so high when theycame home!” Orosa mused.“Butthe neatest thing was the next

day, volunteers kindly cleanedthe fish caught, and the residentswho went fishing had their troutbarbecued for lunch. It wasabsolutely fabulous, they reallyenjoyed that.They got to enjoy theoutcome of their experience, whichis really good.” And it is all becauseof the help of many volunteers– volunteering really counts in theGeorge Derby Centre.

Volunteers are an integral part ofthe centre, and they also help outin many more activities includinggardening, horticulture, organizingart shows, and gathering residentsfor outings. Because of dementiaand memory loss, this is a veryimportant task in the centre.Thelist of volunteers needed is endlessand Orosa said they are alwayslooking for volunteers.

City history:Burnaby isconsideringdesignating thegate and wallsurroundingthe W. J.Mathers estateas a protectedlandmark. Theproposal isgoing to publichearing.

Heritage gate gets hearingBurnaby council is putting forward

the gate and wall surrounding the W. J.Mathers Estate as a potential protectedheritage landmark in the city.

Council approved plans to send theproposal to public hearing at a recentcouncil meeting.

Locals will have their say on the mat-ter at a future date, which has yet to beannounced.

In 2011, the city moved the gate and wallfor the estate, also known as Altnadene,closer to the Mathers house and restoredit.

“It’s a better setting,” said Jim Wolf, thecity’s heritage planner, at the time.

A portion of the gate and wall werepreviously buried under three or four feetof fill, he added, and the gate could not berestored where it was because of its prox-imity to Canada Way.

The project was completed with fund-ing from the city and the provincial gov-ernment.

If the site is approved as a heritagelandmark, it will be protected under theLocal Government Act.

Plenty of food crops can grow well in pots

You don’t have to bea condo or town-house dweller to

enjoy the advantages ofgrowing some food cropsin pots.

Anyone who likes theaccessibility of havingsalad plants or herbs neartheir back door, or toma-toes by the warmth of ahouse wall may find con-tainers their best choice.

Among the most usefulfor containers in semi-shade are the leafy saladcrops. That’s why garden-ers intent on making themost of their space maywant to seek out the faster-growing greens in order toget more of a succession ofcrops.

Among lettuces theseinclude the tiny butterheadTom Thumb, the miniromaines Ansar, Plato,and the red PomegranateCrunch.

Also fast-developing

are the corn salad types,mustards, spinach, arugulaand mizunas also give acrop around 40 to 45 daysfrom sowing. These, andalso many lettuces, can becut-and-come again.

In the open garden,slugs are a huge problemfor leafy crops, but con-tainers can easily be pro-tected by copper barriers.

The only root vege-tables that are super-fast-maturing are radishes.

These are ready about30 days from planting.French Breakfast andWhite Icicle both fit wellinto containers since bothare longer than they arewide.

All crops which tend togrow vertically rather thanhorizontally tend to givea little more eating for thespace they take up thanthe rounder types. Thisis true of green onions,and beetroots such as thelong, narrow Cylindra andRodina.

Carrots of all kindsare also very suitable forcontainers because one canblend container soil to suitthe crop you’re growing.Carrots love loose, well-drained soil.

In open garden beds ofunimproved clay soil, they

often fail.Crops which can be

trellised are a superb useof space in pots. Polebeans are much moreproductive than dwarfbeans and very decorativeif varieties with purple orgolden pods are chosen.For full production it isvery important to keep onpicking beans.

Runner beans are alsoquite flamboyant withtheir scarlet flowers which,unlike other pole beansdo need bee pollina-tion. Varieties have been

developed in England withmore tender stringlesspods. These include Butler,Polestar and Lady Di.

Small-fruited cucum-bers are also easy to trellis.One of the most deliciousis the heritage LemonCucumber, which lookslike a round yellow apple.It produces masses of deli-cious, sweet fruit, which islong-keeping on the vinebut keeps only three dayswhen picked.

Peppers grow well inrelatively small containersif they’re given good nutri-

tion, lots of water and alittle lime.

Early jalapenos, cay-ennes and other hot pep-pers give a big return forthe space they use – andif you wait until they turncolour, they become verydecorative and tastier.

Where greenhouses orcloches are not available,tomatoes are often placedin pots under a roof over-hang which allows them tostay dry during rain andescape the dreaded blight.

Bush tomatoes are agood choice for containers

because their growth habitis fairly restrained.

Adequate watering isvery important for vege-tables in containers. That’swhy larger pots are bestsince they dry out moreslowly. Half barrels workvery well.

Most vegetables needrich organic feeding: high-nitrogen for leafy vege-tables and balanced fertil-izer for most others.

Readers suggest how to get good service

Relying on a shopto tell you what’swrong with your

car and fix it right the firsttime and at a fair priceseems simple enough, butalmost everyone has a taleof woe or even terror.

Since I like to get read-ers involved in makinglife better for all of us, Ilooked for solid adviceand tips to help makeyour service experienceas pleasant as possible,since shelling out moneyfor auto repairs is notsomething we would likespending money on in thefirst place.

As Rod from OrangeCounty, California, writes,“Sometimes it takes a littleshopping until you find agood garage.”

Oh yeah, taking yourcar to a garage can be a bitof a gamble … you need toknow when to walk away.

But, perhaps moreimportantly, how do youknow when you’ve struckgold?

Here’s a compilation ofthe advice that you, dearreaders (many of whomare service managers andtechnicians yourselves),had for everyone – notonly women – out there.

Get it in writing,twice

Reputable service folkswill be more than happyto do this, writes a servicemanager from a Hondadealership.

Another reader backsthat up by suggesting

getting a second opinionbefore having any workdone. In a free-marketsociety, there’s nothingwrong with simply sayingyou want to be sure andthat you’re going to geta second opinion. Manycompetitive shops expectthis, actually.

If the vehicle is stillmobile, take it to anothergarage and ask for anotherwritten estimate. After youget the second estimate,compare it to the first. Seeif both shops identifiedthe same problem. If theydidn’t, or if the estimatedcosts greatly differ fromone to the other, go aheadand get a third opinion.

Avoid victimsyndrome

The best way to getgood auto service is toeducate yourself. Andwith the amount of moneyspent on vehicles these

days – and the associatedrepairs – there’s no excusefor not knowing at leastthe basics of your vehicle’sanatomy.

Drop a couple of buckson a repair manual foryour car. Pay close atten-tion to the chapter called“Troubleshooting.” It willlist symptoms and pos-sible causes of problemsfor virtually every systemin your vehicle.

“If you save yourselfmoney and/or stress, it’smoney well spent,” sur-mises one letter writer.

Say, “Ah … Idon’t think so”

Verify the repairs andcosts. Do this when youget your second opinion.Or if a repair has alreadybeen done and you wantto double-check that youwere charged the rightamount, get it checked.Keep all of your estimates

and receipts.For example, it’ll be

easy to actually see if youralternator was changedif your bill states it waschanged.

You should also callyour local auto parts storeto double-check and com-pare the going retail priceof the part(s) with theshop’s estimate.

If you don’t feel com-fortable about the repair,go somewhere else.

“It’s easier to pay acheck-out charge than arepair that might not beneeded,” says one reader.

Don’t be afraid ofconfrontation

Although disreput-able shops are a rarity(word gets around andthey usually don’t stay inbusiness long), don’t beafraid to raise objectionsand ask for clarification.Be tough when the going

gets tough. If you thinkyou’re a victim now, justthink how big a victimyou’ll be if you just sit idlyby and say or do noth-ing. Start right at the topwith the shop manager,says our Honda shopmanager letter writer, andif you get nowhere, TheBetter Business Bureau isyour next stop. Also, lookaround the shop. If yousee things like “Member ofthe Whoseville Chamberof Commerce,” contact thechamber of commerce.

Don’t forget thedealer

Dealership mechan-ics/technicians should befamiliar with your vehiclesince they work on themevery day.

Presumably, the mech-anics at most dealershipshave had some training on

your vehicle, the dealer will have thespecific shop manuals and the dealer willusually make extra efforts to ensure therepair is done right.After all, it’s their brand of vehicle andthey want to preserve their reputation,so, hopefully, you come back and buyanother car from them. However, that’snot an excuse to be complacent.

“Still ask the hard questions and make‘em prove the work they’ve done. It’s

your money and your right.”

Caveat Emptor or “Let thebuyer beware”

You wouldn’t sink your hard-earnedcash into a stock or bond without someresearch. Why should buying a car beany different? Finger through consumerguides for issues involving reliability andfix-it costs.

A car that seems like a bargain is reallyno bargain if maintenance bills are eating

you out of house and home.Really, if the repair is going to cost

$1,400 and your car isn’t worth muchmore, it’s time to make a decision: do youreally want to keep the heap? What canyou get for it, as-is, by trading it in forsomething more reliable?

Ask for references fromthe service shop

“This is perfectly acceptable,” says oneof our letter writers.

“Remember, this is your money, yourvehicle, and your peace of mind.”

Thanks for the advice, guys … thecheque is in the mail.

Canada’s arguably greatestcollege badminton playermay not come in time.

That is the possiblefuture that awaits five-time Canadian Colleges’Association women’s sin-gles badminton championRuilin Huang of Burnaby.

The fifth-year DouglasCollege accounting stu-dent is hoping to get anopportunity to play forCanada, but bureaucraticformalities have so far pre-vented the 23-year-old stu-dent from Mainland Chinafrom getting her landedimmigrant papers and oneday competing for a spoton the national team.

“I want to compete atthe nationals, but I’m notCanadian. I really want tobe, but I tried before, but itdidn’t work,” said Huang,who earlier this monthwon an unprecedentedfifth consecutive nation-al female singles title inOntario.

At the college nationalsin Barrie, Ont., Huang wonall seven of her matches enroute to the title, improv-ing her collegiate careerrecord to an outstanding207 wins with just onedefeat.

“(That loss) was againsta girl from Edmonton –

NAIT College – and shewas from China, too,” saidHuang of her only colle-giate defeat. “I lost to herin the team event first. Ilost to her in three gamesand in the end, we met inthe singles final, and I beather in two games. It wasmy third nationals and on

her court.”It is telling that Huang

remembers her only lossso well.

“It was my first year forregular classes (after twoyears of English languagetraining). All my attentionwas on school and when Iwas at the tournament, I

was still doing my market-ing homework,” she said.

The four-time CCAAfemale badminton playerof the year was namedthe national association’sfemale athlete of the yearacross all sports last year.She is also the five-timedefending PacWest player

of the year.When an 18-year-

old Huang first came toCanada in 2008 to attendDouglas, she defeated five-time Canadian women’snational champion AnnaRice in straight sets at a

semifinalscare

Getting themselves toa fifth consecutive B.C.major midget hockey finalwas a difficult road for theNorthwest Giants.

The six-time regularseason champs had to playcomeback for the entirebest-of-three semifinalseries before besting thepesky Greater VancouverCanadians 5-3 at theBurnaby Winter Club onSunday.

Trailing 3-1 at onestage of the first period,the Giants fought backwith a three-goal middleperiod, including the even-tual game and series-win-ner from Jansen Harkinsand Jarid Lukoseviciuson a power play. JacksonCressey iced the serieswith the only goal of thefinal frame.

“They simplified thegame. It wasn’t a pretty winand not our typical style ofoffence,” said Giants headcoach Clint Thornton.

The Giants wereforced to chip the puckin and work the cornersagainst the tight-checkingCanadians, and it paid off,said Thornton.

“Our plan was to get itin deep and take it fromthere. They brought outtheir work boots and didwhat they had to do.”

The Giants were forcedto play from behind forthe entire series, beginningwith a 6-4 loss to GreaterVancouver in the openinggame last Friday.

In Game 2, the Giantscame back from a one-goal deficit to win 4-3 on

Clan’s NCAA hoop run ends in Sweet 16There was nothing sweet about

Simon Fraser University’s finish inthe final 16 at the NCAA DivisionII national women’s basketballchampionships.

The Clan lost the West regionfinal 75-58 to Great Northwest con-ference rival Western WashingtonUniversity in Bellingham on

Tuesday. The loss ends a historicfirst full season in the NCAA thatsaw the team ranked as high assixth nationally and second in theregion.

“So close,” said SFU head coachBruce Langford a day after theloss. “The cause of that is the storyof the game. We made crucialmistakes (on defence) that hurt usbadly, and we didn’t get the qual-ity shots. The difference was very,

very little.”Graduating senior Nayo

Raincock-Ekunwe finished hercollegiate career two reboundsshort of her 64th double-double,including a team-high 19 points.

SFU led for most of the firsthalf, but went into half time trail-ing 32-30 following a 9-1 finish bythe host Vikings.

The Clan retook the lead short-ly after the restart but later in the

second half a Sydney Donaldsonjump shot sparked a game-chang-ing 15-2 Western Washingtonrun.

Fellow senior Carla Wyman,who, along with all-conferenceplayers Raincock-Ekunwe andKristina Collins, stayed with theprogram when it went NCAA, fin-ished her career with 10 points.

Giants: Best-of-three final starts FridaySaturday and force a third-game tiebreaker.

Liam Smith backstopped wins in both games 2 and 3for the Giants.

“(Smith) won the series for us,” said Thornton ofSmith’s third-period goalkeeping.

“Our team has a lot of con-fidence in themselves. Evenwhen we’re down, we keep onworking at it. They have theability to score. Even in Game1 we were coming on strong,but we left it too late.”

TheGiantswillbeupagainsta similarly difficult challengewhen the offensively mindedOkanagan Rockets come intotown for this weekend’s best-of-three series.

The third-place Rocketsupset league runner-upCariboo Cougars in straightgames, winning 4-3 on theFriday and 3-2 on Saturday in

the best-of-three semifinal series in Prince George.“Okanagan play a different style, they’re very offen-

sive. We can’t give them time or space. It should be agood series,” said Thornton.

In the regular season series betweenthe Giants and Rockets, both teamswon on the road, while the other twogames were tied.

“I think you’re going to see a bat-tle this weekend,” Thornton added.“I’m excited. It should make for somepretty good hockey, but we can’t getbehind in this one.”

The best-of-three final faces off at7:30 p.m. on Friday. Game 2 is the fol-

lowing night with a 7:45 p.m. start. If necessary, a thirdgame will be played on Sunday, beginning at 9:30 a.m.All games are at the Burnaby Winter Club.

“They are the reason the program is where it is,” saidLangford. “They could have gone anwhere, but thesethree stayed here and it made all the difference.”

Raincock-Ekunwe wrote herself into the collegiaterecord book in seven separate categories, including anall-time 58 per cent career field goal percentage. She alsoplaced fourth in the NCAA in rebounds per game, aver-aging 12.4 boards in Div. II.

SFU finished its first full NCAA Div. II season with anoverall record of 25-6.

Women’s hockey festmoving to Calgary

A lack of sponsorshipis behind a move to shiftthe international wom-en’s hockey festival fromBurnaby to Calgary.

Hayley Wickenheiser,who put her name to theBurnaby tournament in2010, said in The Provincean offer from WinSport touse their new facilities atCanada Olympic Park andthe decrease in sponsor-ship dollars was behindthe decision to move.

WinSport, which over-sees the legacy of the1988 Winter Olympics inCalgary, is currently put-ting the finishing touchesto the facility that includesthree NHL-sized rinks andan Olympic-sized ice sur-face.

Although BurnabyMinor was the originalhost hockey association forthe women’s festival, therewere few perks for theclub, unlike the Christmasbantam and Spring Blasttournaments that bringnearly $20,000 back to theassociation.

Wickenheiser lives inCalgary and said the shifteast could result in moreteams from Saskatchewan,Ontario and the UnitedStates taking part.

While the tournamentwas held in Burnaby therewere a large number ofteams from the LowerMainland.

The invitation to movethe festival to Calgary wasmade in November.

national ranking event prior to theOlympics.

“It was a big deal for me. I knew shewas top 16. I was lucky and I beat her,”Huang said. “In China, I was OK. Thereis lots of competition.”

Another big accomplish-ment for Huang was winningthe U.S. Open women’s sin-gles over Lydia Jang in 2009.

But the clock is ticking onhow long Huang can con-tinue to compete at a highenough level to fulfill herlife’s ambition.

After 17 years of high-per-formance training and com-petition, much of it at China’sProvincial Sport Institute inHunan province, Huang hasthe battle scars to prove it.

“I don’t know. I believeeventually I will get it, but Idon’t know when I get it thatI will be able to play,” Huangsaid, adding nagging injuries are nowa competitive reality for the young star.“You can go over 30, but my body condi-tion won’t allow me to go over 30.”

Douglas College head badmintoncoach Al Mawani, who helped bringHuang to Canada, has also been spear-heading her application for landed sta-

tus.Mawani, who also heads up the pro-

gressive Shuttlesports badminton acad-emy in Coquitlam, said the process hasbeen frustrating, especially when he seesother athletes fast-tracked with help fromtheir sport bodies.

Last year, the CanadianOlympic Committee gotbehind the application ofChinese-born table tennisstar Eugene Zhen Wang, thetop-ranked player in NorthAmerica, in time for himto compete at the OlympicGames in London.

Nothing similar to thathas happened in Huang’scase despite Mawani’s dili-gent lobbying on her behalfevery step of the way.

Neither BadmintonCanada nor the provincialbody have stepped in to sup-port Huang’s application,said Mawani.

“Time is running out asan age factor. She wants to play,” saidMawani. “I think as far as the nationalchampionship is concerned, she has toexperience it once. To me, she is the bestplayer in Canada, bar none, in the 25years I’ve been coaching.”

Tim Stephens' Astral ReflectionsTim Stephens' Astral Reflections March 24 - 30, 2013March 24 - 30, 2013Aries March 21 - April 19: Your energy, charismaand effectiveness hit a peak now to late April.Recent delays and “decision benders” are over, somarch ahead, start important projects, pursue love,tackle chores that formerly intimidated you. Showyour strength! Sunday/Monday are for work, healthconcerns, and aiding dependents. Relationshipsmight build to a cruel peak Tuesday p.m. – formerresentment breaks the surface. NOT a good day tochallenge authority. Feelings and loyalties are still ajumble Wednesday morning, so step lightly. Secrets,sex, large finances Thursday night to Saturday.

Taurus April 20-May 20: You face a month ofrelative solitude and rest, Taurus. Retreat, studyoptions, form plans, deal with commercial agents,government agencies, head office, charities andinstitutions. Sunday to Tuesday float a romanticatmosphere around you, but it might not bringsuccess. (Sunday night’s your best shot.) A secret,a wound (emotional, mental, etc.) or a conflict withthe law could rise to an uncomfortable level Tuesday.Avoid a fight. A philosophical attitude conquersviolence. Tackle chores midweek. Thursday eveto Saturday brings relationships, challenges andopportunities.

Gemini May 21-June 20: Wishes come true.Expand, seek. Your popularity rises. Optimism,entertainment, light romance and plain fun fill yourdays – better in April than March. Quietly sink intodomestic chores, family love, real estate, etc., Sundayto Tuesday. Midweek lays a transparent cloak ofbeauty over everything. But it’s an odd interval. First,sex and friendship conflict Tuesday, might spark acruel fight. Then Wednesday holds mixed luck in loveand creativity. Then Thursday brings a spectacularseries of exciting meetings – but they go nowhere!(They might, later.) Work, health Friday/Saturday.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Be ambitious during theweeks ahead, Cancer. It won’t be easy this week, asyou might have to gain the co-operation of anotherwhose natural inclination is to dominate your goals,or demand a say in what those goals are. You canget this person (or agency) onside by showing howyour ambitions will increase their security. Travel,errands, communications, paperwork and details fillSunday to Tuesday afternoon. Bed realistic in legal ortravel matters. Home and family fill midweek. CarefulTuesday: avoid fights. Thursday eve to Saturday bringromance, beauty and pleasure.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: A wise, mellow mood flowsover you now and for the weeks ahead. You’ll succeedin far travel, legal matters, higher education, culturalvenues, intellectual projects, broadcasting and media,and love. You could taste fame. These good things willencounter interference from work or health demandsnow through March 31. This conflict could cause anangry reaction Tuesday: be diplomatic. Do the worknow, but keep the joy of your hopes and plans in yourheart. Chase money Sunday to Tuesday. Midweek’stalkative, bright, happy! To home (and success there)Thursday eve to Saturday.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: The weeks ahead holdmysteries, subconscious urges, sexual desire,significant financial actions (investment, debtreduction) potential lifestyle changes, commitment,and the need for research or health diagnosis. Theseare more significant than in most March/Aprils, asyour actions now can strongly affect the next twoyears. However, the rest of March erects barriers tothese very things. Good, for the barriers/problemshighlight what needs to be done. Watch Tuesdayfor such a problem: contain any anger over it. Yourenergy, charisma shine Sunday to Tuesday. Chasemoney midweek.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: The weeks ahead featurerelationships – some of the most significant of thisdecade, perhaps of your life. But the “easy roadforward” in relating won’t occur until April. These lastdays of March erect several barriers to: co-operation,love, partnership, marriage vows, relocation, dealingswith the public, and general opportunities. You canface and challenge these barriers in March (a hugeone Tuesday: reject self-pride) and fight for a bond(new or old). Or you can wait until April, and thenattempt to join with another, etc. (October-born? Waitfor April.) Love looms.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Lots of projects andinitiatives arise now through April in work andhealth. However, you will tend to talk againstthese changes this week, and you’ll be partlyjustified: technological upgrading and mergersor partnerships will be “still-born.” Even so,developments on the work scene are significant,affect at least the two years ahead. DiplomacyTuesday: being overbearing will create tomorrow’senemies.Oh, and don’t stopworking!Your popularityrises, social joys come, Sunday to Tuesday. Retreatmidweek: rest, think. Your energy, charisma surgeThursday night to Saturday.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: The weeks aheadbring romance, creative genius, pleasure, beauty,charming kids, speculative success – you’ll ride awinning streak – and a significant one, as what youcreate or the feelings you express can affect yourlife for a long time. But all these run into strongbarriers in March. Be patient, wait for April’s gifts.(Otherwise, Tuesday’s refusal could trigger cruelty.)Sunday to Tuesday feature career, ambition,relations with higher-ups. Behave! Midweek bringshappiness, boosts your popularity, might spark love.Retreat, rest and contemplate Friday/Saturday.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Domestic concerns fillthe next few weeks, Cap. You need a sturdy launchpad for all your ambitions: a strong family, a goodspouse, a “proper” neighbourhood provide such apad. This entire area experiences some disruptionfrom 2011 to 2018, so use the present cycle (to lateApril) to strengthen this domestic zone. In March,you’ll accomplish this through struggle and imposingyour will (e.g., Tuesday, when a fight’s possible). InApril, it will be easier, without opposition. During this2011-2018 period, you’ll very likely buy a new home,or invest in land. Joy, late week!Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Communications,short trips, casual acquaintances, paperwork, details– these fill the weeks ahead. You could experiencesome conflict between these and your “secret life” inthe 8 days ahead. For instance, gossip reveals yourlittle peccadillo, or loyalty to a boss prevents youfrom taking that trip to Coney Island. These conflictsmight cause embarrassment, anger Tuesday. All willbe easier next week. Sexual temptations, financialurges fill Sunday to Tuesday. Delve deep for answers(but don’t hit any nerves). Love, mellow joy, comemidweek. Be ambitious Friday morning.Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Chase money until lateApril. This interval is unusually significant, as whatyou accomplish, dollars you make or spend (careful!)employment you begin, etc., can affect you for years.You’re forming a template. March will fight yourmonetary success – the “enemy” is your group offriends, your ethics, or your own wishes for the future.April offers easy success. This week, let money takea secondary role. (Especially “cruel Tuesday” – bediplomatic.) Co-operate, seize opportunities Sunday-Tuesday. Midweek accents secrets, lust, finances. Amellow mood comes Friday/Saturday
