A penny per person Local school children will soon be returning to council chambers in search of money for Honour House.

The New Westminster Lions Club has teamed up with the New Westminster School District on a “Penny Plus in the Pot” challenge to raise money for Honour House.

Students are hoping to raise a penny for every person in New Westminster, meaning they’re aiming to raise $66,800 pennies or $668.

Honour House will provide accommodations for the families of Canadian Forces and first responders (ambulance, fire and law enforcement) while they are receiving care in Metro Vancouver. It’s located on St. George Street in New Westminster.

On May 11, a group of students helped place a yellow ribbon on the World’s Tallest Tin Soldier at Westminster Quay, a move designed to symbolize their hope that others would join them in collecting enough coins to exceed New Westminster’s population.

The students plan to count the coins they’ve raised and return to city council on Monday, May 16. They previously challenged the City of New Westminster to meet or beat the amount they collect and they will be challenging other school districts to toss their pennies in a pot for Honour House.

NWSS ranks 96th out of 274 schools Fraser Institute high school rankings aren’t high on trustees’ reading lists

BY ALFIE LAU REPORTER

When the Fraser Institute released its high school rankings for British Columbia and the Yukon on Sunday, New Westminster school trustees collectively yawned.

New Westminster Secondary School was ranked 96th out of 274 for 2009-10 and came

OPEN S 6 DAY Mon.-Fri. 9am-6pm Sat. 9am-5pm

in 81st out of 256 when five-year rankings from 2006-2010 were taken into account.

“I haven’t seen it yet,” said trustee Jim Goring on Monday afternoon. “I haven’t sat down and done a clinical analysis of it.”

Goring said he receives many reports about student achievement and the Fraser Institute report is but one of many. He did say he puts a lot more weight into superintendent John Woudzia’s achievement report and on his personal discussions with students, parents and staff.

Trustee Lori Watt said she hadn’t looked

at the report as of Monday afternoon.

“I don’t give it a lot of weight,” said Watt. “I put a lot more weight on the staff reports that we produce. I find those more useful. ... We have highly competent staff and they know what’s happening in our district.”

Watt did say “I might have a glance at it tonight,” when asked when she would be looking at the Fraser Institute report.

New Westminster’s rankings in the Fraser Institute report include having a Grade 12 average exam mark of 70.7 per cent, only 7.1 per cent of exams failed, a

In comparison, York House School, which finished at the top of the rankings again with a 10.0 ranking out of 10, had an average exam mark of 87.1 per cent, zero per cent of exams failed and a 100 per cent graduation rate.

Private schools, or independent schools as they are called in the Fraser Institute rankings, dominated the top of the rankings, with West Point Grey Academy, Little Flower Academy, Surrey’s Southridge School and Crofton House in the top 5.

Old homes hold history and drama

BY ANDREW FLEMING REPORTER afleming@royalcityrecord.com

Heritage homes: At left,

T

he owners of a century-old house near Queen’s Park have a canceled TV show to thank for their fancy kitchen.

Anyone who watched the creepy, mid-90s Fox series Millennium will no doubt remember the oft-invaded house belonging to FBI serial killer profiler Frank Black (Lance Henriksen) and his beleaguered family.

The show’s creator, Chris Carter, had previously used the atmospheric three-storey at 321 Fourth Ave. as a location in the second episode of The X-Files and he arranged with its owners, John and Lauren Bomhof, to again use it for what became three seasons of his new project.

While Millennium helped pay for a new kitchen (not to mention a new bathroom and the removal of an unwanted swimming pool), the couple never really got to enjoy their home’s 15 minutes of fame.

“I couldn’t watch it,” said Lauren Bomhof with a laugh. “It freaked me out too much.”

The address saw more than a few uninvited guests show up during the show’s run, but hundreds of visitors of a different sort will be welcomed inside this month when the home is featured as one of 10 entries of the 32nd Annual New Westminster Heritage Homes Tour and Tea on May 29.

Bomhof was already busy preparing for the tour when contacted by The Record.

“I was cleaning the whole place out for the big neighbourhood garage sale anyway, so it was kind of killing two birds with one stone,” she said.

The 1908 house was designed specifically by local architect E.G.W. Sait for coal furnace salesman Herbert Kirk to prove that coal furnaces were, in fact, capable of heating a large house.

“He brought the first coal furnaces into the city, and nobody would buy them because nobody believed you could heat your house with coal instead of a fireplace,” said the current owner. “He used to live on Third and Third in what became the ballet studio. He moved here with his family as if to say ‘I can prove it to you.’”

(Whether or not the Kirk family had to wear a lot of sweaters during winters has been lost to the mists of time, although it’s worth noting previous owners had already installed a forced-air furnace by the time the Bomhof family moved in, and the couple has also since installed a fireplace in the living room.)

The Herbert and Mary Kirk House, also known as the Eldora (named for the Kirks’ two daughters, Elsie and Dora), isn’t the only heritage home on the tour whose kitchen has seen a major makeover.

When Pacific Breeze Winery co-owner Frank Gregus and his wife Sharon bought their “modern” 1940 heritage home three years ago, one of the first things they did was hire a friend who is a contractor to extend the kitchen area.

“One of the things we did was burst out the kitchen to create an area where you could have a kitchen table and everybody could hang out,” said Gregus. “The most important thing is I didn’t want it to look like an addition, I wanted it to look natural. So once the addition came out, we carried the roofline to the back of the house to line up with the second level and now we have an undercover

the house at 321 Fourth Ave. was featured in the TV show Millennium.

least once over the years in the hope of convincing them to open their homes to strangers.

“The homeowners who volunteer are all so enthusiastic,” said Hutson. “They love their homes, and the fact they’re willing to share with several hundred people, what they’ve done to their homes or what they’re doing, it really is something special.”

She credits tough times in the past resulting in the city’s treasure trove of heritage buildings.

“Some of the places on Columbia Street and the big houses around Queen’s Park, they couldn’t do things to them and they also couldn’t afford to demolish them,” she said. “The options weren’t there. So there’s a vast reservoir, all around the city.”

Thirty two years ago, a small group of local residents formed the New Westminster Heritage Preservation Society after economic conditions improved and demolitions were becoming more common. What began as a way to call attention to the need to preserve heritage homes has since aged into one of the city’s busiest social events.

For more information on the tour see pages 17 to 20 in today’s paper.

patio and barbecue area.”

The Queens Avenue house, known as the Jack and Ethel Pentland House, was designed by Robert Brewick, who was once considered one of Canada’s most progressive modernist architects and is best known for his work on the old B.C. Hydro building.

Although extensive changes have been made, ironically the house itself has been a bit of a constant in Gregus’ life.

“I was born in Saint Mary’s and I was married at Robson Manor, so from where that house is to where I was born and married, it was always within a block,” said Gregus, who is happy to have returned home again.

“Even when we lived in Burnaby, all our walks would somehow take us into Queen’s Park. We knew we wanted to come back, the opportunity was there and we seized it.”

This pride of living in an architecturally unique community is what helps make life a bit easier for tour organizer Catherine Hutson, who is a familiar face to most owners of interesting old homes in the Royal City.

Chances are good she and/or her “partner-in-crime” Kathleen Langstroth have appeared on their doorsteps at

Hours without power: Four residential buildings at the Victoria Hill complex were left without power after a contractor accidentally cut a power cable.

City pitches in to restore power after cable is cut

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Residents of The Grove at Victoria Hill were without power on Tuesday after a contractor severed a power cable.

Inspector Brent Joel of New Westminster Fire and Rescue Services said four buildings at the Grove were without power starting about 8:30 a.m.

“They were digging the hole for one of the last sites down there,” he said. “They chomped through one of the power cables.

It killed the power.”

As a result of the incident, the property manager had to evacuate the buildings or provide a fire watch, which meant some-

one had to be onsite at all times.

“All of their fire and emergency systems are down,” Joel explained at the time of the incident. “They are going to try and get in there and get them connected so the power is back up.”

The Record received a call from a resident who said it was a “pretty disturbing situation” from an emergency preparedness perspective because the main emergency lights and stairwell lights in four buildings were also affected by the incident.

“They are supposed to be operational,” Joel said. “That is one of the questions I have.”

Power was restored to the buildings ◗Power Page 8

Province shows sense on smoking issue

If there were ever an issue for which More than 6,000 British Columbians the B.C. government should butt into die from tobacco use annually. Lung people’s personal lives, this one is it. cancer accounts for 26 per cent of all cancer deaths, and tobacco has become Premier Christy Clark announced the province will provide the largest single cause of premature death and disease nicotine replacement therapies for free and cover smokin B.C. THE RECORD Provincial estimates point ing cessation prescriptions as the economic tally at $2.3 of Sept. 30. billion per year. The emotional toll is Quitting cold turkey can be hard, greater than any number can describe. and patches, gum and prescription “Every year tobacco-related deaths drugs can go a long way to easing withrob us needlessly of friends, family drawal symptoms.

OUR VIEW

and loved ones,” Clark said during her announcement.

The tone of Monday’s news marks a welcome change from provincial policy makers.

B.C. has tried to hit smokers over the head with the big stick of costs. There have been several increases to the provincial tobacco tax over the years, but little investment to help individuals quit smoking.

Increasing a “sin tax” won’t stop people from smoking.

It just creates an underground economy for the products.

B.C. residents are paying regardless of whether they puff.

Health-care costs directly related to smoking that are covered by the Ministry of Health are pegged at $605 million per year.

Rather than beating smokers into submission, this program will serve as an enticement them to kick the habit.

It seems as though common sense is finally clearing this hazy issue.

The real truth about ‘private’ schools IN MY OPINION

T

MATTHEW CLAXTON

he annual joy of the Fraser Institute’s school rankings is washing over everyone, like a sticky wave of melted slushee.

Every year, the debate goes like this: FI: “Well, based on a handful of standardized tests and a couple of extra things we tossed into the Pot o’ Statistics, public schools kind of suck.”

Teachers/school boards/ province: “No, it’s way more complicated than that, there’s ESL kids and special needs kids and funding pressures, and children are not plastic widgets!”

FI: “But behold the superiority of private enterprise! The private schools always dominate the top of our list!”

Oh, hold your horses there, Fraser Institute.

There are hardly any private schools in B.C. But wait, you’re saying. I drive past one every day. You can’t just show up and drop off your kids there unless you sign a cheque. It’s a religious school, or they make the kids wear blazers and sweater vests, or it has a happy-hippie arts-and-yoga program.

No. That is probably not a private school. It gets between 50 and 35 per cent of the per-student funding that a public school gets, from the province.

There are a few fully private schools in B.C. They get no government cash. They enrol 544 students.

The “private” schools getting government money enrol more than 69,000 students.

These are public schools that you, the taxpayers, cannot access without paying extra. Usually thousands of dollars extra, per child, per year.

This is the issue that no one wants to talk about in B.C. education, the boil they don’t want to lance for fear of seeing the horrible stuff that would seep out.

We have a two-tiered education system in this province, subsidized by everyone for the benefit of the upper middle class and the wealthy.

Ask yourself how you’d feel if there was a hospital down the street that you couldn’t use without paying cash, even as a truck drove up and poured tax money directly into the pockets of the doctors. This is how we run private schools in B.C. There are two classes of parents in this province. There are those who can afford a private school.

Maybe they can simply grab some money out of the big jar of hundreds they keep by the front

Thanks to businesses who offer a sense of community at the Quay

Dear Editor:

We are writing to express our appreciation to the morning staff at the Boathouse Restaurant.

Our group has been meeting for coffee at the Quay every morning for years.

When the market closed, we were left without a meeting place.

We needed a place we could walk to and take our time to enjoy our coffee and, because our number can expand up to 10 people, we didn’t want to occupy space in a restaurant that should be generating breakfast or brunch income.

We approached the Boathouse staff and explained the situation.

They were most accommodating, and for more than two years, they have allowed us to use their ◗Schools Page 7 lounge before it opens each morning. The staff

members go out of their way to make us comfortable. In many ways, the Boathouse has become our “Main Street.”

Since the market is still not able to fulfil that function, the staff at the Boathouse have made it clear that they will continue to make us welcome on rainy days.

We’re also very glad to see Sharlene back with Riva’s on the boardwalk.

Together Riva’s and the Boathouse are performing a valuable community service by functioning as our “village square.”

So “thanks!” to the staff of both businesses. It’s a pleasure to start each day with you. We are so lucky to have such good neighbours, especially in an urban environment where it’s easy to lose sight of community.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Health care is teamwork

Dear Editor:

As we struggle as a society to deal with rising cost pressures, staff shortages and other challenges in our health-care system, we need to develop better ways of delivering care – on the front lines – where it counts.

And there is increased recognition that no single medical professional or allied health practitioner has all the skills, expertise or time to deal with a patient’s total care needs.

Everyone – from physicians to nurses to dieticians – has a critical role to play in modern health-care delivery.

That’s why health policy analysts have consistently identified teamwork and collaborative practice as a top priority in any strategy for successful health-care reform.

One need look no further than a typical surgery to understand why this is true.

From diagnosis to surgery preparation and post surgical care, to rehabilitation and nutrition support, to follow up treatment and home care – collaboration is key to healthy outcomes.

But modern solutions to health care’s challenges also depend on all practitioners working to the full potential of their education, training and experience.

Unfortunately, for many decades, health care has been governed by a strict hierarchy, one that has been slow to adapt to the benefits of interdisciplinary team work – and one that has resisted some professions working to their full scope of practice.

That means supporting RNs, LPNs, care aides, and others to work to their full potential within effective health-care teams where all practitioners are recognized and respected for their skills and areas of expertise.

To ensure success, government must make sure appropriate training and education is readily available for those who are taking on new roles and responsibilities within the patient care team.

Doors 6pm Dinner 7pm

The Hospital Employees’ Union is working closely with government and its health authorities to develop policies that nurture collaboration and teamwork, deal with staff shortages and heavy work loads, and improve the quality of care for British Columbians.

During National Nursing Week, we celebrate the team, and the teamwork, that can bring positive changes to healthcare delivery in our communities.

Time to build for future Dear Editor:

I am always astounded by the strange conclusions some people manage to draw from facts.

Take, for example, the global financial crisis of 2008 and the subsequent global economic slowdown; during which time worldwide demand for energy dropped significantly.

The fact that energy demand would be reduced under such circumstances is neither surprising nor is it contrary to what one would logically expect.

It was certainly the case here in British Columbia where electricity consumption, for example, dropped by a couple thousand megawatt/hours.

However, the strange conclusion some have drawn from this drop in electricity consumption is that British Columbia somehow does not need to develop its energy resources.

The foolishness of that conclusion is obvious because the true level of our energy need cannot be gauged from an anomalous period of economic slowdown.

As it stands, global energy consumption has already returned to, and even exceeded, the levels seen prior to the global financial crisis.

That means it is now more important than ever to get on with developing British Columbia’s energy resources and building for the future.

tens of thousands of these kids in B.C. Children of single parents. Children of parents working two or three jobs, each. Children in rural areas, where no private school will set up shop.

So here’s my plan: We cut off all those not-soprivate schools from the public teat.

We let them charge the full freight to parents, and we see if they can sink or swim.

Then we put all that money we just saved back

into the public system.

You know, the system starved for cash, with school librarians for 5.5 hours per week and a couple of aging portables for the third-graders?

Some would kick and scream and rend their clothes, of course, but frankly, they’ve had decades of being coddled.

Let’s do something for the poor kids this time.

Power: Mishap leaves buildings in the dark ◗ continued from page 5

about 11:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Until the power was restored, residents wanting to access their homes had to show identification at the door and use a flashlight to navigate their way through the darkened staircases and hallways.

Rod Carle, the city’s electric utilities manager, said the city was contacted after power to the buildings was severed on Tuesday morning.

The city isolated its cable at the street so repairs could take place and informed Onni that it had materials and equipment available if they were needed to make the necessary repairs.

Carle said about 125 units were without power because of the mishap.

In addition to the cables, Carle said the conduits (plastic pipes surrounding the cables) were also damaged.

Beau Jarvis, Onni’s vicepresident of development, said the incident occurred during an excavation for the final two buildings in the Grove, a nine-building development at Victoria Hill.

He said crews were at the site until midnight making repairs.

“It was basically an excavation,” he said. “It was an incident – it happened.”

Jarvis couldn’t comment on safety issues raised by residents because he didn’t have all the details.

A resident who lives in one of the buildings said his phone lines were the first to go down, and his lights went out a few minutes later. Another resident overheard city staff telling the contractor early in the day that the city had equipment and supplies that could help make the repairs in a timely fashion.

Carle said the city restored power to the buildings at 11:30 p.m.

“We did provide all the materials for them,” he said. “They needed high voltage cable etc., whatever they needed to get service back up and running.”

The city will be billing Onni for the costs of the materials supplied, but the tab wasn’t known at The Record’s deadline.

On Thursday morning, power was again cut to two buildings in the Grove – intentionally. It was set to be turned back on by 3:30 p.m.

“There is no damage or anything,” Carle said. “It is a followup.” www.twitter.com/tmcmanus

Hot stuff: Numerous stolen items recovered by New Westminster police have yet to be claimed.

Cops recover stolen goods

BY BRENT RICHTER REPORTER brichter@royalcityrecord.com

New Westminster Police have charged three suspects accused of cruising the Fraser River at night to steal boats, tools and marine equipment.

According to a release from Sgt. Gary Weishaar, police received a call around 7:30 a.m. on May 2 reporting a boat suspiciously stopping at houseboats along the river.

Police spotted the suspect boat towing another boat just offshore of the 900-block of South Dyke Road.

Using the police marine unit, officers attended a houseboat across the river and interviewed the suspects.

Following a search, police recovered several thousand dollars worth of allegedly stolen goods including a power boat, outboard and electric motors, an inflatable boat, a laptop, generators and power tools.

Three men, two from Squamish and one from Abbotsford, were arrested and charged with possession of stolen property over $5,000.

Police say many of the items have identifiable marks and serial numbers.

Anyone with information about the recovered stolen goods is asked to contact Const. Greg Smith gsmith@ nwpolice.org.

He’s the biggest loser: Victor Jensen weighs in (at right) and, above, celebrates his weight loss of 64.4 pounds. He lost the most weight in a citywide 12-week challenge.

City’s biggest losers are big winners

Residents take off 1,151 pounds in a city-wide Biggest Loser challenge

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Sometimes losers can be winners.

In February, the City of New Westminster launched a Biggest Loser challenge that sought to help participants become healthier and more active. The program included mini-challenges and weigh-ins every two weeks.

Sandy Earle, the city’s active communities programmer, said participants lost a total of 1,151.2 pounds. Thirty-four people lost more than 10 pounds and five people lost more than 20 pounds in the challenge that wrapped up last week.

“We have got a lot of people who have done really, really well,” she said.

New Westminster resident Victor Jensen was the biggest loser, dropping 64.4 pounds during the 12-week challenge.

“That’s a little more than we were encouraging people to do,” Earle said.

“The thing about him is he has done it properly.”

The Biggest Loser challenge has encouraged participants to become more active and to eat healthier.

“I feel so much better, and ‘lightening the load’ has taken pressure off of my bad

knee, and it feels better. I feel a lot more energetic and stronger,” he said. “I lost about nine inches from my waist, so I need a new wardrobe. Some people don’t even recognize me when I pass them by.”

Jensen hopes to lose 15 to 20 more pounds, at which time he’ll go on a maintenance diet/exercise plan.

Jensen, who has undergone a number of knee surgeries, said one of his doctors told him he would have to ‘lighten the load’ if he wanted to be able to walk when he was a senior.

“This was my major motivation,” he wrote in a note to The Record.

Jensen said the city’s information package and challenges were designed to help participants on their own journey.

“For me the biggest help that this program provided was a timeline and scheduled weigh-ins. I couldn’t procrastinate any longer, and I really needed to lose weight, so the timing was perfect,” he said.

“This program isn’t designed to make you lose weight, but it is designed to give you that extra little push to help you on your own weight loss journey, but you have to really want to lose weight or nothing will help you.”

Jensen said his goal was to create a “calorie deficit,” so he ate the minimum recommended calories per day (1,200 to 1,400) and spent about one hour doing cardio six days per week.

“Always talk to a doctor at the start

Kudos: Sandy Earle, left, celebrates with winning ‘loser’ Victor Jensen. of a new workout/diet plan. You have to make sure you are eating right, especially within such a low calorie intake,” he said.

“You really need to push yourself because the first couple of weeks won’t be easy but yield the biggest results. Due to my knee injury I was unable to take up running or any other high-impact exercise. The majority of my workout was on the elliptical trainer and recumbent bike.”

Earle said it’s been inspiring to see the changes that many of the participants have made in their lives.

“I found the people we worked with in this program so inspiring, and it was great

getting to know them and help them over the three months,” she said. “There were lots of great stories.”

Earle said the program reached a large number of people and really helped them take some great steps towards an improved state of health.

“The cornerstone to this program has been awareness and accountability,” she said. “Those people that were really committed to making some changes have a lot to show for it now.”

When the community challenge got underway in February, 260 people signed up to participate.

“After I calculated everything, we found that 108 people had stayed in the program until the end and made some remarkable progress,” Earle said. “Those that hung in there until the end generally showed steady weight loss and have vowed to continue either losing or maintaining.”

The City of New Westminster launched the Biggest Loser community challenge, after completing a corporate challenge for city employees in December 2010. During that 12-week initiative, 82 city employees lost 692 pounds.

“We are doing another full 12-week challenge for staff,” said Earle about the spring tune-up. “We are four weeks in.

There is 49 staff doing that – a lot of repeats. A number of people are doing it again to lose a few pounds or to stay on track.”

Rain doesn’t stop shred-athon success AROUND TOWN

THERESA MCMANUS

T

he New Westminster Firefighters Charitable Society’s second annual shred-athon was a resounding success.

Rain didn’t dampen enthusiasm for the event, which was held on Saturday, May 7 at the Canada Games Pool parking lot.

New Westminster residents and businesses were invited to bring old paperwork to the shredathon and have it shredded onsite by a company that specializes in paper shredding.

“From what I understand, we raised over $4,000,” said firefighter Glen Bailey, president of the charitable society.

“The guys were telling me a huge amount of paper went out.”

A barbecue and musical entertainment were part of the day’s fun.

“It was a really big success,” Bailey said. “We are doing it again next year.

We are thinking about doing it over a two-day period – that is still to be determined. We are hoping

people remember us and come by. It’s for businesses and residents, for anyone who has paper and it needs to be destroyed.”

The event, which is completely by donation, is being hosted by the New Westminster Firefighters Charitable Society, which raises funds that allow it to support various programs in the community such as the Union Gospel Mission, food programs in local schools and New Westminster Family Place.

“This is one of the three big ones now,” Bailey said about the society’s fundraisers. “We certainly appreciate their support.”

Help the market

Royal City Farmers Market is promising a “delightful and delicious evening” for its fourth annual fundraising event.

Locals are invited to support their local farmers market, while mingling and enjoying a meal, on Thursday, May 26 from 6 to 10 p.m. at Heritage Grill on Columbia Street.

The event will feature live music, door prizes and a silent auction.

“We’re pleased the Grill has once again offered to host our fundraiser – they are a big supporter of the market and we appreciate it,” said the market’s operations manager, Jen Arbo, in a press release.

“This year, we are hoping to raise additional funds to put aside so that we may continue to support our low-income fresh food initiative for years to come. It will be a great time.”

Proceeds from the event will go toward supporting both the summer and winter markets hosted

by Royal City Farmers Market, a non-profit organization.

The summer season gets underway June 9 and takes place every Thursday (rain or shine) from 3 to 7 p.m.

at Tipperary Park. Every market features fresh foods, homemade delicacies, one-of-a-kind artisanal crafts, kids’ activities and music.

Anyone wishing to support the market is invited to attend the fundraiser.

Each ticket includes the choice of a beef, chicken, veggie, or lamb burger with fries or salad, or pasta primavera, as well as a glass of draft beer or house wine.

Tickets for the May 26 fundraiser are $20; they are

TAKING CONTROL OF YOUR HEALTH

Naturopathic doctors encourage patient participation As a child, Maya Kuczma spent a lot of time in doctors’ offices.

more than 20 million Canadians suffer from digestive disorders every year—adding up to $18 billion in annual health-care and lost productivity costs.

“I had a lot of digestive problems when I was really young,” explains Kuczma, who is now 23. “I just remember having all sorts of tests done—I even had a biopsy of my small intestine and nothing was found.

For many Canadians digestive disorders are chronic—conditions they live with for their entire lives.

Dr. Aaron Hoo is the medical director at Doctor’s Choice Nutrition and a clinical supervisor at the Boucher Naturopathic Medical Clinic. He explains that chronic disease is often closely related to an individual’s lifestyle or nutritional choices.

“I went through the wringer and no one knew what was wrong.”

“In my practice I deal with patient lifestyle and dietary habits when addressing chronic disease,” explains Hoo. “Often times, chronic disease happens because lifestyle issues haven’t been addressed.

Kuczma’s mother, frustrated by the lack of answers, eventually took her five-year-old daughter to a naturopathic doctor (ND).

“The disease is chronic because people do the same things and often get the same results.”

Saturday, May 14 10am - 3pm

“The first thing my ND did was allergy testing and we discovered loads of things I was reacting to,” she says.

In Celebration of NATUROPATHIC WEEK Everyone Welcome

Kuczma was put on an elimination diet, which abated all of her symptoms. Gradually, her ND began to re-introduce foods like meat and dairy.

“It was really key to have my ND monitor the re-introduction of certain foods to my diet,” says Kuczma. “It was a very supportive process.”

Digestive disorders are not uncommon among Canadians. According to the Canadian Digestive Health Foundation

Today Kuczma follows a restrictive diet and exercises regularly to help control her symptoms.

Her condition is no longer chronic, as she made the necessary nutritional and lifestyle changes to improve her digestion and eliminate her symptoms.

Especially important to her is the role she gets to play in maintaining her own health.

“I like the idea that people have it within themselves to heal themselves,” says Kuczma, who was so moved by her own experience that she is now studying to become a naturopathic doctor at the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine.

“It’s allowing people to tap into their own ability to heal.”

Fiona, whom you may remember from a feature story in The Record in June of last year, is a young dancer from New Westminster who is achieving success after success in her quest to become a professional dancer.

In November of 2010, Fiona travelled to London, England to participate in the Genée International Ballet Competition – an event that gives aspiring dancers the chance to work with world-renowned choreographers and professionals and to perform on an international stage.

Fiona, who studies at the Richmond Academy of Dance, was selected as a semifinalist.

Fiona also recently learned she has been awarded her Solo Seal Award – the highest vocational graded examination of the Royal Academy of Dance.

For the past few months, Fiona has been attending auditions across Canada and the U.S., and she’s just been offered a partial scholarship to attend the 2011 Boston Ballet summer intensive dance program, as well as the 2011/12 year-round pre-professional program.

She’s graduating from Grade 12 this year, and the summer dance program starts on June 26.

Fable on film

A movie described as a “shimmering romantic fable” is the next offering in the Last Mondays at the Movies series.

The Arts Council of New Westminster’s movie series brings award-winning Canadian, foreign and independent films

to the Massey Theatre on the last Monday of each month.

This month – that’s Monday, May 30, so you can note it in your calendar – it’s Certified Copy, starring Juliette Binoche and William Shimell.

A synopsis of the movie explains its storyline: “In Tuscany to promote his latest book, a middleaged British writer meets a French woman who leads him to the village of Lucignano. While there, a chance question reveals something deeper.”

It’s directed by Abbas Kiarostami.

The movie starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Massey, 735 Eighth Ave. Tickets are $9.

You can buy through the Massey box office, 604-5215050, or at the door.

32nd Annual New Westminster

Heritage

2011

Home Tours

Sunday, May 29, 2011 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

You won’t want to miss this year’s outstanding line-up of beautiful homes, from the late 1800s to the 1940s, and a church that’s celebrating its 100th birthday in 2011.

How it all began In 1980, a small group of New Westminster residents incorporated the New Westminster Heritage Preservation Society, in direct response to the demolition of many beautiful heritage homes throughout the city. This new society was not always cordially welcomed, but it was a brash new voice for the growing and important heritage conservation movement in the Royal City.

At the time, the idea behind the tour was a simple one: Open up several

Guidelines for tourgoers For us to make the tour a success for you, and respect the wishes of our homeowners who have kindly agreed to put their special homes on tour,here are some guidelines to follow. Ask our fantastic volunteers if you have any questions. And above all else, have a great tour!

• The tour is self-guided—the map in the centre of this program will help you make your way to each home.

• You may visit each location once in any order between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. (Shiloh-6th Avenue Church opens at 10:30) • While the use of a car or bike is advisable, New Westminster is not a big city. You can easily enjoy the day and walk.

• You will be required to present this program at the door of each destination to gain entry, so keep

it with you at all times.

• Wearing slip-on shoes with comfortable socks is extremely wise. Some of our homeowners may require vistors to remove their shoes at the door to protect fragile carpets and floors,especially in the event of rain.

• Remember that this tour has been planned for a limited number of people and, as a result, this “ticket” can only be used ONCE without exceptions.

• Please ask the volunteers on duty before taking pictures. Some homeowners may prefer that you don’t photograph the interior of their home.

• Public washrooms are available at the Justice Institute (the tea venue) and Irving House. See map in program centre for details.

beautiful heritage homes to public viewing and inspire and educate residents and visitors alike that these architectural gems should be saved ... not bulldozed.Without much fanfare, the first tour was launched on May 24, 1980, as part of the Hyack Festival.There were a few hundred tickets sold at $3.50 each and just five homes on the tour.

Thirty-two years later, we can look back with justifiable pride at how the homes tour has grown into one of B.C.’s major showcases of architectural heritage, inspiring other cities to organize similar events in the past few years.The New Westminster Homes Tour is Canada’s longest-running event of its kind, and has brought thousands of visitors to the Royal City to learn about its history and get a glimpse into years past.

A. 1111 Sixth Avenue Shiloh-Sixth Avenue United Church (1911)

Tickets are $35, NWHPS Members $30

Where the money goes Funds raised go to preserve and protect our heritage as well as to enhance our communities. In 201, funds from ticket sales were donated to: • The New Westminster Heritage Foundation, a non-profit society co-funded by the City of New Westminster to financially assist owners of municipally designated heritage homes. The Foundation’s goal is to encourage voluntary municipal heritage designation and to assist homeowners in their restoration efforts through the Foundation’s house grants program.

• Tourism New Westminster • Queen’s Park Healthcare Foundation, to provide compassionate care (and new programs) for the aging population and persons with disabilities.

Tickets are on sale at these locations:

Located near the commercial intersection of Twelfth Street and Sixth Avenue, this church has been a neighbourhood landmark for 100 years. Its cornerstone was laid on July 4, 1911, and was formally opened for services on Sunday, January 28, 1912.

Originally estimated to cost $10,000, the church’s final cost was just over $30,000. And it shows– the result is both classic and modern for its time. Its style is English Arts and Crafts, skilfully blending rusticated cement blocks and local B.C. wood. It’s also a significant surviving design by one of our province’s most prominent architects,Thomas Hooper.

NOTE: Tourgoers are invited to attend the Sunday service at 10 a.m. It’s open for general viewing from 10:30 to 5 p.m.

B. 510 Third Avenue The Alvin and Barbara Hudson House (1907) This elegant 1907 Edwardian home makes its first appearance on the New Westminster homes tour. The home’s first owners were Alvin Hudson, a motorman for the B.C. Electric Railway, and his spouse Barbara. Alvin died in 1940 and Barbara continued to live in the house for several years before putting it up for sale. After being sold, it was unfortunately converted into a rooming house until the previous owners purchased it and, over a 10year period, undertook a significant renovation to restore what was left of the home’s original details and replace missing features with period-appropriate, salvaged materials.

C. 321 Fourth Avenue “Eldora” Herbert and Mary Kirk House (1908) “Eldora” was designed by local architect E.G.W. Sait for New Westminster hardware merchant Herbert Thomas Kirk and his wife Mary Jane (nee Warren). Kirk, who was importing B.C.’s first coal-burning furnaces and was disappointed in their poor sales, decided to build a house without fireplaces to prove how well these furnaces worked. Thus “Eldora” (named for his daughters Elsie and Dora, who’d been named after his mother, Elsidora) was built in 1908.

The property was expansive, encompassing the lots next door and behind. Neither daughter married and Dora lived in the house until she went into care. She subdivided the property.

While Eldora was being built, Kirk decided to change the direction of the stairs in the foyer. A second floor window, which was already framed in, was sacrificed to allow for the attic stairway, but the bottom of that window was spared and can still be seen above the landing (it was painted by the owner to match the foyer’s stained glass windows) and a faint outline of the entire window can be seen from outside, above the porch roof.

F. 117 Third Avenue The Sidney and Marion Fletcher House (1887) Builder-contractor George Turnbull built this home and his own residence next door in 1887. At that time, Third Avenue was still named Pelham (it got its new name in 1892 and the residential area around Queen’s Park was just beginning to grow up the hill from the Fraser River and downtown.

Turnbull lived at 115 Third Avenue until his passing in 1943. The first owners of 117 Pelham Street were Sidney Ash Fletcher and Marion Ada (nee Fisher). In 1882, Sidney moved to Victoria from his home in Quebec City, and in 1883 married his Quebec sweetheart, Marion. When the Land Office opened in New Westminster in 1886, Sidney transferred there. Later in his career he became New Westminster’s provincial assessor and tax collector.

Since 1989, the current owners have done extensive restoration and renovation, returning the home to its former glory after the 1970s and ‘80s additions of a wrap-around porch, kitchen, family room and bathroom, and back garden. Original features include the exterior gabled-peaks, which still exhibit original fish scale shingles, horizontal siding, and original interior features remaining include the staircase and balustrade, wainscoting, door frames and bedroom doors.

G. 123 Queen’s Avenue The Russell and Luella Potter House (1939) J. 213 Manitoba Street

K. 201 Clinton Place

This home was built in 1891 by city builder and contractor Robert Buckland as a one-storey cottage which he later expanded in 1901 to include a second floor with three bedrooms.The end result of this early renovation was a late-Victorian cottage with a full-width porch.

Buckland eventually owned and operated a company that manufactured rusticated and decorative concrete blocks that were used extensively throughout the city and province for foundations, fencing and, in some instances, entire buildings and homes. Many of these structures still exist today.In 1910,the Buckland family moved to a new home at 611 Queen’s Avenue which showcased his company’s products.

The current owners were rewarded for their efforts when they received the Heritage Shield, the Royal City Builders’ Heritage Award, for best heritage restoration for work completed in 2003. Since then, the owners have embarked on several other renovations and additions that have turned this home into one of the jewels along Fourth Avenue.

The Frederick and Muriel Matheson House (1939) This Colonial Revival-style house was built in 1939 by Kenneth Matheson as a wedding present for his son Frederick and bride Muriel. Situated atop a small rise and surrounded by a generous garden, the home is blessed with a beautiful setting and elegant, asymmetrical architecture.

A striking paneled entryway leads into an intimate foyer.On the right,the living room is flooded with light from a large bay window that brings the outdoors in.This, and most of the other windows and doors in the house, is original.The owners have retiled the fireplace and painted the mantle.

This fine home and its surprisingly modest size – in contrast to its large property – is a beautiful example of how very liveable a“not so big house”can be.

604.521.5209

New Westminster City Engineer Russell Potter and his wife Luella were the first owners of this impressive home built in 1939. The architectural firm of C.B.K. (Charles Burwell Kerrins) Van Norman—well-known later for their many downtown Vancouver office structures such as the Burrard Building and Royal Centre—was hired to design this modern home.

This plot of land next to the Nels Nelson house (at 127 Queen’s) was part of the grounds of what was originally the beautiful 1891 H.V. Edmonds home known as“Blossom Grove”and which later became Columbian College.The college was closed in 1936 due to non-payment of taxes and was later demolished.

The house features side gable dormers, a slight eave overhang, and an asymmetrical facade.

Its style which can be best described as Colonial Revival—Eclectic Period. In 2001, the current owners extensively renovated the Potter House. The main floor was completely gutted and almost all wiring, plumbing, insulation, windows and roof were replaced. A bay window was added in the living room, the covered back patio was replaced by the dining room and the kitchen was extended and widened. Except for the bathroom, the upstairs remains intact; the current office was previously used as a bedroom/sitting room and the basement was completely renovated with family/games room, three-piece bathroom, and laundry and storage area.

H. 315 Queen’s Avenue I. 302 Royal Avenue The Jack and Ethel Pentland House (1940) The Captain William Irving House (1865) Renowned Vancouver architect Robert Alexander Berwick designed this stately home in 1940 for local dentist Jack Harold Pentland and his spouse Ethel. They lived there with their daughter Ann. Young and up-and-coming Berwick was contracted to design a “modern” home for this lovely Queen’s Avenue property. Berwick went on to become a partner in one of Canada’s most progressive early modernist architectural firms known as Sharp and Thompson,Berwick,Prattwhich is best known for designing the old B.C. Hydro building, recently converted into mix-use and condominiums, in downtown Vancouver.

The current owners purchased the home in 2008 and have extensively renovated it from top to bottom.They have updated this lovely family home with modern conveniences throughout but did so with integrity, respecting the original design and layout.The living areas remain much like they were in 1940.

Irving House is still the oldest intact house in the Lower Mainland. It is still on its original site and when Captain William Irving had it built in 1865, it was the fanciest house in the city.It is owned by the City of New Westminster and is operated by the New Westminster Museum and Archives (NWMA).

In 2009 to 2010, a restorative study of the interior of Irving House was conducted. This included the wallpapers, ceiling papers, wood finishes, paint colours, carpets etc.

The aim is to accurately restore the house to the glory of a bygone age.

In fall of 2010, restoration began with the ceilings in the dining room, lower and upper halls and master bedroom being restored or replastered. The result is the genesis of an authentic heritage home,both inside and out.In fall 2011,the house will be environmentally stabilized by insulating the walls and updating the house’s fire-retardant systems. We hope that you will come often over the next several years to watch our progress as the house is restored to the splendour of yesteryear.

NOTE: Public washrooms are available for use at Irving House.

J. 213 Manitoba Street K. 201 Clinton Place The Jacob Schneider House (1926) The James and Mary Trodden House (1889) This handsome home was built in 1926 by carpenter Jacob Schneider. Its prime location on the southern slope of the Queen’s Park neighbourhood would have then afforded a wonderful view of the downtown and the Fraser River. It’s a fine example of the Arts and Crafts building style that continued to influence homes into the late 1920s.

These features are evident in the overall use of details on the exterior and interior of this sturdy bungalow.

Mr. Schneider is reported to have lived here with his sons Jacob, George and Charles all of whom, at one time or another, worked for their father’s local contracting company, Snider and Sons.

The current owners have lovingly maintained this family home by enhancing the landscaping with a pleasing choice of plants that complement the exterior paint colours. They have kept the original footprint and have made adaptations to the working space to meet their needs.The result is a charming room with lots of original features.

Built in 1889 by James Trodden, this charming cottage overlooks Clinton Place Park. It had once belonged to Captain Irving’s paymaster,who,from the large window in what’s now a bedroom, paid out the wages as the men lined up outside on Second Street.

When the present owners bought the house in 1994, it was sadly devoid of the character features one would expect in a “heritage” home. There was also no central heating, the walls were uninsulated, and the single-paned windows rattled every time a truck went by on Royal Avenue.

They set to work sealing the home, putting in double-glazed windows and adding insulation and new drywall.

False ceilings in the living room, dining room and den were removed, adding three feet of height and a much more spacious feel. New ceiling beams in the dining room add character.

Out the back,the homeowners replaced a rotting garage with a new architect-designed one.Inside is an art/writing studio, as well as storage space– a real necessity for a house with no basement. A new fence and deck define the cozy courtyard area, and an herb and veggie garden is a pretty and practical finishing touch to this extension of the home’s living space.

Discover the benefits of interval training KEEPING FIT SHAUN KARP

A

ll you need is 30 minutes to perform a great cardiovascular and strengthening workout. And better yet, you can perform the workout at home without any expensive equipment.

To ensure that you get an effective cardiovascular workout, it is essential to keep your heart rate elevated to 60 to 80 per cent of your maximum heart rate (maximum heart rate can be calculated by subtracting your age from 220). This means that you have to keep moving during the workout so try to limit the breaks!

The key to this workout is to perform a 30-second interval after each set.

Start the workout by warming up for five minutes with one of the above intervals and then you are ready for the first exercise. ◗ Alternating lunges: Place your feet together with your toes pointed straight ahead and your hands at your sides. Take an exaggerated step forward with your right leg.

Bend your right knee slowly, lowering your body close to the floor.

Keep your right knee directly over the right foot and your back straight.

When your rear knee is about two inches above the floor, hold for one second and slowly return to the starting position.

Repeat the exercise with your left leg. You should feel your gluteus and thigh muscles, not your knees, ankles or back. ◗ Dumbbell hamstring deadlifts: This exercise is effective at isolating the hamstrings, gluteus and spinal erectors. Start standing upright with your feet shoulder width apart with a dumbbell in each hand.

Keeping your back straight, slowly bend forward at the waist and lower the dumbbells down to your knees until you feel a gentle stretch in your hamstrings.

Reverse the procedure to return slowly to the starting position. Most of the effort should be felt in your hamstrings. ◗ Two-arm dumbbell rows: Holding one dumbbell in each hand, stand in a bent over position with your feet shoulder width apart, knees slightly bent and back flat.

Using a rowing motion, squeeze your shoulders together and pull the dumbbells up to your hips, squeezing your mid and upper back muscles.

Slowly return to the starting position. ◗ Dumbbell presses with a stability ball: The stability ball is a great addition to your workout because, as you perform your strengthening exercises, the trunk musculature is simultaneously working to balance and stabilize the body.

To begin this exercise, lie flat with your back on a stability ball and your knees bent at right angles and your feet flat on the floor.

Start by holding one

One-man team

dumbbell in each hand with the dumbbells positioned beside your shoulders and slightly above your body.

Press the dumbbells up above your chest until your arms are almost straight, bringing them together at the top. Slowly return to the starting position. ◗ Bent-over dumbbell raises: Holding one dumbbell in each hand, stand in a bent-over position with your feet shoulder width apart, knees slightly bent and back flat. Start holding the dumbbells in front of your knees.

Stay in the bent-over position and raise the dumbbells outside your body to shoulder level, keeping the same bend in your arms throughout the motion.

This is an effective shoulder exercise that isolates the rear deltoids and can improve posture. ◗ Alternate crunches on stability ball: Start this exercise by sitting upright on a stability ball. Move your hips forward, gradually lying back onto the ball. Place your hands across your chest.

Once in this position, concentrate on raising your chest and shoulders up to a 45-degree angle, alternating side to side.

Be sure to squeeze your abdominals when at the top of the movement and remember that you can increase the difficulty by putting your feet closer together.

City unveils new mosaics

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Sapperton is the second neighbourhood in the Royal City to get mosaic tiles, but others will be following in their footsteps.

The City of New Westminster has unveiled four new mosaics that have been designed by Bruce Walthner and Ann Wilson as part of the East Columbia Street beautification project.

“The mosaic tiles are beautiful and really add something extra special to this part of the city,” said acting mayor Lorrie Williams. “The tiles help to tell Sapperton’s unique story and the whole project is a wonderful example of community engagement – of bringing community members together to take pride in the neighbourhood and beautify an urban landscape.”

The project is similar to the award-winning public art project that took place on 12th Street. City staff worked with a community-based committee to consider themes and ideas for the mosaics, which will soon be installed on East Columbia Street.

“We need three days of dry, relatively warm weather,” said Greg Magirescu, the city’s manager of arts and cultural development.

“It has to be 10 degrees or higher morning and night because of how the material has to set.”

Cutouts are currently in place at the four sites selected for the mosaics.

When the time is right, Walthner and the engineering department will lay place the mosaic, allow it to set overnight, apply grouting, let it set overnight and top it off with a sealant.

Magirescu said the mosaic art tile project shows how a community of residents, businesses, artists, developers and corporate sponsors can come together on an initiative. A steering committee launched the process last May and more than 30 people attended its open house last June.

“We collected hundreds of ideas,” Magirescu said.

“There were certain threads that seemed to repeat. We focused on those themes.”

In addition to the mosaic tiles, panels will be mounted on nearby lampposts to provide information about the tiles.

Mosaics: Portuguese tiles used for new art installation ◗ continued from page 27

“We will be doing more throughout the city in the next few months and the coming year,” Magirescu said. “We hope we will have a huge collection of mosaic tiles that tell the story of New Westminster in many neighbourhoods.”

A legacy fund created by the former New Westminster Community Development Society is funding a mosaic program on Columbia Street that tells the eco-

nomic development story of the downtown. That process is getting underway.

“The city has plans to refurbish Sixth Street all the way from Columbia up to Sixth Avenue with new lamp standards, sidewalks, benches and plantings,” Magirescu said of a 2012 initiative.

“There is an opportunity there to use mosaics and other art forms.”

Longtime New Westminster resident Curt Higham worked with his employer, Ames Tile and

ism and boosting economic development at the same time.”

In 2009, several mosaics were installed into the sidewalks on 12th Street, after resident Mary Wilson approached the city with the idea.

Magirescu said public art is one facet of the city’s arts strategy.

“Mosaics are one component of public art,” he added. “They are certainly visible, very inexpensive. They literally get woven into the landscape.”

“This, like the mosaic tile project on 12th Street, really underscores the City of New Westminster’s commitment to the arts,” Williams said. “It also demonstrates how local government, corporate sponsors and citizens can work together to benefit the whole community, promoting civic pride, creating cultural tour-

etails! Details!

Details! For some people, details are good things that add to an event or story.

To others, details may change the overall effect of something, as in “the devil is in the details.”

Still others don’t want to be bothered with such things: “Just give me the basic gist and don’t bother

me with the details.”

When you work as we do with topics with an historical aspect, details are a vital component to any answer we are seeking.

In the list of projects we are researching at present, three stand out in terms of lacking a vital detail or two to solve the question.

In one instance, the case mixes human interest with tragedy, adds illness and leads to death. In another a person has “vanished,” but the search goes on. And in a third, the date of arrival in B.C. would certainly clear up a few things -– so far the needed details have not turned up.

well-used park space.

Photographs have also been able to help clear up the descriptions of the aftermath of New Westminster’s Great Fire of 1898 by providing details of the blaze and the results of the fire. Photos freezing a tongue of fire as it jumps Columbia Street help people to understand what happened that fateful night and how downtown disappeared in mere hours.

Images also point out some little things – a man with a wheelbarrow full of bricks, a photographer’s shadow, a safe sitting in an empty lot, a section of wall remaining upright, and so

on. Details all.

One person asked about the Anvil Battery salute, “How high does the blast really make the anvil go?”

A photograph shows the anvil about a metre above its base, hanging in mid air, not bad for a very large piece of iron.

To see some of these photographic “details,” plan to come along to the New Westminster Historical Society evening on Wednesday, May 18, starting at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the New Westminster Public Library when the previously mentioned examples of some details will be shown.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Romance calls Sunday/ Monday! So do pleasure, arts, creativity, sports, speculation. But work arrives Tuesday to Thursday noon. Plunge in, you’ll get it done easily. Thursday noon to Saturday is both the most important and the luckiest part of this week. Opportunities, exciting meetings, new horizons, success with the public and in contract negotiations, even love can appear. But you need to be co-operative, diplomatic and eager, as others hold the winning cards. Handle irritations Thursday twilight, Friday morning, and mid-afternoon Saturday. Dreams can come true this week!

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Continue to strive ambitiously. Show higher-ups what you’re capable of, finish projects and duties without slacking. Your performance is being watched closely. Over the weeks ahead, if anything, your career heats up.

Within less than a month, a great current of luck enters this area (status, prestige, ambitions) to stay for a year. Start ramping up – big things lie ahead for those who are eager and hard-working!

But first, take a rest Sunday/Monday; prepare your foundations, give your family support and attention.

Romance, pleasure call mid-week. Tackle chores Thursday onward.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Your gentle, compassionate mood continues. It has begun to generate an important idea, project or situation (or relationship). This important thing will grow smaller yet more focused and concentrated over the next few weeks – then, like a sponge in water, swell to absorb more and more of your life and attention, from June to June 201112. Important thing = higher education, international travel or dealings, a major cultural ritual (wedding, etc.) a lawsuit or legal dealing, communication, media or publishing, religion, or finding a life philosophy... and, love. Romance, late week.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Money matters heat up – strive to meet schedules, deadlines. There are profit or good earnings here, but even more, present efforts, money accomplishments and new money directions can lead to a whole year of grand financial results, beginning next month! Often, the best actions are preceded by planning, preparation. Do these now, while your mood and optimism, wisdom and view, are high and accurate. This week is mostly successful, but avoid self-deception Wednesday morning, electricity Thursday eve, and “partnership finances” before 9 a.m. Friday. Sex, finances good Monday.

Taurus April 20-May 20: Your energy and charisma climb higher, as Mars entered your sign last Wednesday, and Venus and Mercury enter Sunday. These are the three planets involved in 90 per cent of all romance, socializing and popularity – so expect yours to climb! (And in 21days Jupiter also enters Taurus, bringing big luck, the kind that sparks life-changing events.) Use this week to press forward with new or significant projects. Sunday/ Monday bring opportunities, but demand cooperation, diplomacy. Finances, intimacy, bonding and commitment draw you mid-week. Wisdom, gentle love Thursday onward.

Gemini May 21-June 20: This is your last week of weariness, quietude and solitude, and of being ignored. Endure it with good humour. We all have our surges and our ebbing. Starting Saturday (end of this week) your energy will increase, and you’ll have a few weeks to take things “over the hump” – to succeed, impress and solve. The best time will be May 21 to June 3, so be prepared to act quickly and fortunately to make a major wish come true. Use this week to plan your late-May actions. Prepare, get paperwork or government or bank records in order.

Be charitable. Fulfill obligations. Rest, eat sensibly.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: A huge wave of luck is just around the corner in investments, debt reduction, lifestyle change, health/diagnosis, research, intimacy and sexual bonding, pregnancy and similar lifechanging zones. These things have already impacted your life, pressing on you like a grey velvet hand, for the last three years in an upheaval way, for 18 months in a sober, “let me be secure” way, for the last three weeks in a hopeful way; and now to June 4 in a focused, event-triggering way. On June 4, a whole year of “big luck” starts here. Get ready to invest, change, commit! Fortune might lie at a distance.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Relationships, previously lively, grow serious, focused. Issues become clear.

You could fall in love, note someone’s looks, or renew sparks with your mate. Opportunities arise in work, machinery, finances and social life. These are the precursors, or wee beginnings, of really major opportunities that arrive June 2011 to June 2012. Right now (in May) these are “pure chemistry” attractions/opportunities, but June onward they will tend to be connected to money, earnings, possessions. You could hop on the wagon to the mint! Propose, seize the day, Sunday/Monday and Friday!

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: The work is starting to come. The past few weeks have just been “ordinary work.” Now, the chores become clearer, more significant. From June 2011 to June to 2012, your luck will grow in this area, but your duties will expand, too. (It’s not “get out of work” luck.) You’ll be lucky, also (June onward) in machinery, so this will be a good time to buy a car/computer, to learn tooling skills, etc. You will almost certainly earn more money (unless you’re in school, etc.). Watch your health, especially thighs and hips. Rest Sunday/ Monday. You shine mid-week. Money late week!

May 15 - 21, 2011 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The general emphasis lies on romance, pleasure, beauty, creativity, charming kids, speculation. Take a risk, express yourself!

All these pleasurable things shrink but grow more “intense” over the next few weeks; then they will swell larger and larger for 12 months. Hopefully you’ve done all you can for your security by now: if not, tie up any loose ends (e.g., property deals, retirement plans, investments, family issues). The future year will not reward caution! Optimism, social joys early week, rest mid-week. Your energy and charisma shine late week – approach someone!

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The security, domestic, real estate, family, restful, contemplative, natureoriented, soul and nutrition themes that have run through recent weeks continue: but they tend to produce events now through June 2012, lucky events. The best will come after early June. This can be huge luck: a home of your own, or additional real estate, a new family, a new child, the resolution of old problems, dissolution of old skeletons (yes, therapy will be productive). You can leave behind a life of constriction and worry, for a new, bright one!

Saturday begins a month of pleasure!

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Travel, communications, paperwork, details, casual friends and siblings – these fill the days, even more so now. In the 13 months ahead, you might take two or more significant trips. You’ll do a lot of talking about your career or ambitions, but you won’t do much about them. (It’s as though you sense something deeper, bigger, “fuller” is coming by 2012/13...could be! Could be pregnancy if you’re the right age.) Sunday/Monday feature far travel, rituals, gentle love, wisdom. Ambition, higherups demand your attention midweek. Wish fulfillment, social joys Thursday-Saturday! timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
