District refuses to budge No plans to extend public feedback deadline on policy Janaya Fuller-Evans
staff reporter
While the Burnaby school board is actively considering feedback on policy 5.45, the end of the public consultation period is still June 3, according to school board chair Larry Hayes. Policy 5.45 is a draft policy supporting students and employees who are (or are assumed to be) lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, two-spirit or queer (LGBTQ) But Hayes First reported @ BurnabyNow.com w a s quick to point out that things could change. “There are not a lot of original ideas at this point,” he said regarding the feedback, which includes dozens of emails from people both for and against the policy. The board has already considered most of the points brought forward so far, he said, but added specific areas of concern are being examined. But trustees hope to wrap up work on the policy by the end of the school Policy Page 4

Danger: Larry Campfield wants barriers put up to prevent cars from running off the road on Manchester Drive in Burnaby. The building manager says the street light has been knocked out six times by drivers who have lost control of their vehicles on the curve.
Drivers can’t handle the curve Janaya Fuller-Evans
staff reporter
Residents of a lowrise condo building on Manchester Drive say there have been at least four incidents of vehicles driving onto the property since January. Burnaby RCMP has only two incidents of vehicles losing control in the area on record since 2007. There were five crash incidents in the area in 2010, according to the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia. Two resulted in an injury or fatality, while three only caused property damage. Statistics were not available for 2011.

Vehicles speeding around the sharp curve on Government Street – between Cardston Court and Gildwood Drive – are the primary issue, according to Larry Campfield, building manager at 9584 Manchester Dr. “The speed is just horrendous,” he said of vehicles going by. “The street light’s been knocked out six times.” Campfield, who has managed the building for about 10 years, says the problem began about five years ago. The curve is very sharp, he said, and drivers over-correct when coming out of it. It is difficult to get ICBC to assess property damage and the RCMP to come out after each incident, he said.

The City of Burnaby will not put up a cement barrier to prevent drivers from driving on to the property, he added. When residents confront the drivers, they offer to cover the cost of any property damage, according to Campfield, but once they get away they never do. The building on Manchester Drive has about 50 suites, according to Campfield, with about 140 residents, including young children. “People are frightened to go on the sidewalk,” he said. A pedestrian was struck in the area in July 2007, according to Cpl. Brenda Gresiuk,

YO-YOS
Ancient toy is on the upswing Andrew Fleming staff reporter
T
hey say that everything old becomes new again, and dozens of students at Brantford Elementary are proving this old adage true by picking up a toy that was already old-fashioned back in their grandparents’ day. In a classic early episode of The Simpsons, students at Springfield Elementary became obsessed with yo-yos after a memorable performance by the Twirl King Champions, a young troupe of professional yo-yo slingers. This is essentially also what happened at Brantford a year-and-a-half ago after a yo-yo salesman put on a free show for students in exchange for the school then selling them for him. The gadgets sold better than hotcakes and now students and staff alike are spending their spare time learning and teaching each other new tricks. “We meet every Saturday, rain or shine,” said Brantford teacher Jeremy Meugens, who got bitten by the yo-yo bug at the same time as many of his young charges. Depending on the weather, the group meets on the lawns beside the Metrotown library or indoors near the Station Square movieplex. Many are getting ready to compete the first ever Western Canadian Regional Yo-yo Championship taking place at the the National Nikkei Museum and Heritage Centre. “Half of the contest is aimed at elementary school children with an under 13-division,” said Meugens, adding that his students will also be presenting a special performance called “The History of Yo-yoing.” Believed to date back to around 500 B.C. in Greece and also once used as a crude weapon in the Philippines, the yoyo made a huge comeback in the 1920s as a toy. 6

Ups and downs: Above, teacher Jeremy Meugens practises moves with students Lucas Morabito (left) and Anthony Matkovic at Metrotown. Below, Gary Li (left) and Dennis Chui (right) practise their tricks before the championship.
While the design remains essentially the same – two plastic or wooden discs connected by an axle with a string tied to it – recent innovations in ball bearing technology has introduced a whole new world of freestyle tricks unimaginable in the good old days. Meugens has posted a link to a recent Pacific Northwest Regional Yo-Yo contest held in Seattle on the school’s website (http://brantford.sd41.bc.ca/yoyoclub.htm) that shows a variety of seemingly physics-defying tricks of the trade. Yo-yos now come in responsive and non-responsive models, and some are even “off-string” – meaning players can toss the toy in the air and catch it using
the cord. Meugens laughed that it can be a struggle for many of the adults to keep up with the kids. “The 38-year-old leader of the pack is saying ‘OK, I’ve got to learn how to do this because there is an eight-year-old over there who can.” He added that one of the appeals of the yo-yo club is seeing kids interact and have fun without the use of electronic gadgets. However, those days might soon be numbered with the recent advent of the ReGEN, a prototype MP3/ yo-yo hybrid that is powered by the kinetic energy of yo-yoing and that uses wireless Bluetooth technology to play music.

In the above-mentioned Simpsons episode, Homer had hoped to become rich through his son Bart’s mad yo-yo skills. This might not be as far-fetched someday as it now seems. “We have a 15-year-old who comes out, he’s pretty amazing,” said Meugens. “He already has sponsors, meaning he gets his equipment and travel covered.” The Western Canadian Regional Yoyo Championship take place today (May 21) at the National Nikkei Museum and Heritage Centre, 6688 Southoaks Cres., between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. The under 13 division takes place in the morning.

year, so at this point, the public consultation period isn’t being extended, he said. “We extended the deadline to what we thought was necessary,” Hayes said, adding the development of the policy has already been going on for two years. “We feel the policy, what we’re trying to do, is important,” he said. The policy is still in the draft stage, he pointed out, so there is still clarifying and tweaking to be done. But the end result will probably not please everyone, he added. “We’re probably going to hit on something that’s not going to please 100 per cent of either side,” Hayes said. While the board is considering feedback, it is not ruled by referendum or petition, he added. “Eventually, we’ll come up with something the board as a whole can live with,” Hayes added. A group called The Parents’ Voice has started a petition, filed freedom-of-information requests and has planned to protest outside the May 24 school board meet-
ing, according a column in the Vancouver Sun by Janet Steffenhagen. The group wants trustees to hold off on voting on the policy until it has collected all the information it needs to provide input. The Parents’ Voice is asking for 90 days to respond to the policy once information is collected. The group also has a website, www. theparentsvoice.org. “This policy is too provocative, will create more confusion even at a very young age and it makes us wonder what is hidden behind this policy,” says a statement on the website. “It places far too much importance and emphasis on an issue that impacts a few. Children should be able to learn and thrive in an educational environment that is free from controversial issues pertaining to sexual preference and orientation.” Parents and students for and against the policy held rallies outside the last board meeting on May 10. – with files from Janet Steffenhagen, Postmedia News

As the population ages, Canadian Blood Services needs an estimated 90,000 new donors every year to build a long-lasting and sufficient donor base. Approximately 425,000 Canadians are active blood donors, meaning that they have donated at least once in the last 12
months. In the fiscal year of 2009 to 2010, Canadian Blood Services’s blood collection target was 927,000 units. What people may not realize is that the need for blood is always constant because of its limited shelf life.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR New policy has weaknesses Dear Editor:
There are some fundamental problems and weaknesses with the Burnaby school board’s proposed policy on homophobia/heterosexism. No one in his right mind can argue with the right of every individual to be treated with respect and dignity. And no one can object to a policy designed to provide and ensure a safe and secure environment for all students. But these objectives have already been clearly addressed in existing policies 5.10 and 6.40. Homophobic bullying should not be treated any differently from any other type of bullying, which is adequately covered in 5.10, the policy dealing with violence and intimidation in the school environment. The policy states: The board shall consider any act of violence or intimidation on school premises to be a serious threat to the school

environment and to the safety of both students and staff. The board shall take appropriate action, which may include criminal charges being laid. The 6.40 policy on multiculturalism deals with tolerance, understanding, and respect for those who reflect diversity and differences. And, in essence, these are the same concerns that the new policy addresses. I am in favour of an inclusive omnibus policy that articulates respect for the individual’s dignity and rights regardless of race, colour, creed or sexual orientation. This general policy can be easily implemented in any case where there is a breach. The board has lifted large segments of the existing policies and applied them to the proposed new policy. It seems redundant to create a whole new policy that could be easily subsumed into a more inclusive, comprehensive one. It leads me to think that there may be a political

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR New policy is unnecessary continued from page 6
agenda behind the push and to wonder whether the board may be promoting a pro-LGBTQ+ agenda under the guise of prevention of hostility and cruelty among students. Also, the board’s definition of heterosexism is written in language that is intentionally persuasive and obfuscating. The words “mistaken assumption” and “superior” are intended to give more credence to the policy. They admit that their definitions can be imperfect and are “evolving.” So, if you have problems defining something, how can you effectively treat it? By affirming LGBTQ+, are we then creating the opposite of heterosexism, in the form of a new animal called “homosexism”? To win over people, advocates of the policy are using questionable psychological tactics by likening their cause to the American civil rights movement and the feminist movement. All of the sexual orientations lumped together as LGBTQ+ present a moral and religious problem to some, and to develop policy and curriculum to affirm behaviours that are morally or religiously unacceptable or questionable contradicts the multicultural and race relations policy Number 6.40 in which the board approved “the goal of promoting positive human interactions, including interactions which are free from divisive attitudes based upon race, ethnic roots, national origin or religious affiliation.” There is a danger that “anti-bullying” policies and curricula will discriminate against religious students who believe that homosexual behaviour is morally wrong. Schools can and must provide a safe environment for every child, including those who may be confused about their gender identity, but should not engage in one-sided advocacy while alienating or
discriminating against others who think differently. There are all kinds of people in the universe, and while respect for all is a pedagogically sound philosophy, it does not mean that we affirm or emulate the behaviours of all. There is a risk in developing a policy that either consciously or unconsciously affirms or promotes something that contradicts the teachings or doctrines of any particular group. It may even be considered a form of blasphemy. The jury is still out on the causation of some of these sexual orientations, which were previously termed and perceived as aberrations. Recently the American College of Pediatricians has issued a caution to educators warning of the dangers of affirming homosexuality. It warns that “schools should not seek to develop policy which affirms or encourages non-heterosexual attractions among students who may merely be experimenting or experiencing temporary sexual confusion.” In many cases, the lifestyle of people classified as LGBTQ+ develops as a result of negative or traumatic experiences, such as sexual abuse, and students need therapy for the trauma, not affirmation of their “gay identity.” The bottom line is that it is the school’s legitimate and responsible role to provide a safe and secure environment for all students, but it is not its role to in any way “affirm” a student’s perceived personal sexual preference or orientation or to adopt policies that make inherent judgements about people. I can understand the need for the board to address the issue of homophobic bullying, but it can do so by implementing or upholding the well-thought-out existing policies, instead of joining the bandwagon with this new policy. Ben Seebaran, Burnaby, retired teacher/
administrator (Vancouver School Board )

Companies that find the tax works to their benefit should be explaining that fact to its employees and encouraging them to vote for it. So far, I haven’t seen much evidence of that. ◆ The legislative session will end soon – in early June – and so far, it hasn’t exactly created sparks or much energy. The NDP hasn’t really done much in question period, which
has become on most days a shout fest over the HST and not much else. Maybe the party is saving its ammo for when the new premier finally takes her seat. ◆ Did new B.C. Conservative Party leader John Cummins doom his party’s future with his dumb comments on how people “choose” to be straight or gay? They made him look like the stereotypical right-wing fringe politician, the kind that has ensured that party remained completely marginalized in the past. I’m not sure he can fully recov-
er from that gaffe, which would be very good news for the B.C. Liberals, who can’t afford any vote-splitting on the political right. ◆ On the federal scene, it will be worth watching to see if the new NDP Opposition begins to kowtow to Quebec’s interests on some issues (such as seat distribution) potentially at the expense of B.C.’s interests (the party was once dominated and influenced by the West, but now more than half its caucus comes from Quebec).

Curve: City looking at options continued from page 1
media relations officer for the Burnaby RCMP. There was also a reported incident of a car losing control along the curve last month, she said, but no other such reports. Based on these reported incidents, the area hasn’t been identified as a high collisions area by the RCMP crime analyst, Gresiuk said. The city decided against putting in a cement barrier in the area because it could be dangerous to drivers, according to Lambert Chu, Burnaby’s director of engineering. “We’re concerned about driver safety,” he said. Cement barriers work best when placed parallel to the driving vehicles, he explained, so the vehicles bounce off. If the barrier is placed at an angle, as it would be on Government Street, it would be like hitting a brick wall, Chu said.
“It could cause significant injuries to the driver,” he added. Because there is a wide grassy patch before the sidewalk, which acts as a buffer, the area is not as dangerous as it would be if the sidewalk was right beside the road, he added. The city is looking at options for the street, and the Gateway Program may address the problem, Chu said. As part of the project, a transit ramp coming off the Trans Canada Highway will go onto Government Street after the curve, and a signalized intersection will be put in, he said. During this process, it may be possible to do some work on the curve, according to Chu. “It may be an opportunity to improve the curve, and make it safer,” he said. But the city is waiting to see the design from the Gateway Program, to see what can be done, Chu added. www.twitter.com/janayafe

Gang bust: More than $56,000, heroin, cocaine, methamphetamines and a handgun were seized in a gang suppression unit raid on a house in Burnaby Tuesday.
Raid nets drugs, cash, gun Brent Richter staff reporter
Abbotsford Police’s gang suppression unit has raided a Burnaby house and seized drugs, cash and a firearm. A 28-year-old Burnaby man, who police say is connected with the United Nations Gang, has been arrested and is facing a number of charges. Abbotsford Police, working with Burnaby RCMP, raided the Brentwood-area home early Tuesday afternoon. Inside they found a kilogram of cocaine, 800 grams of methamphetamine, 300 grams of heroin, more than $56,000 cash, and a handgun. Abbotsford Const. Ian MacDonald said the bust came after months of investigation and surveillance originating with a UN drug bust in Abbotsford. “We try to connect the dots. In this case, probably months back, we were working back up the food chain from a drug line and we know that a drug line has to lead somewhere,” he said. “We just follow the food chain and eventually we, hopefully, hit pay dirt and in this case, we definitely did.” MacDonald said police are recommending charges of possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking and firearms charges related to the seized gun.
MacDonald said Lower Mainland gangs are beginning to set up stash houses outside of Abbotsford where they are more likely to be busted or attacked by rival gangs. He said this underscores the need for separate police forces working

Author finds feline inspiration Andrew Fleming staff reporter
The latest in the long line of feel-good Chicken Soup for the Soul books hit bookstore shelves this month and the new edition features a story written by a Burnaby scribe. Like the rest of the Chicken Soup stock, Chicken Soup for the Soul: My Cat’s Life is a collection of 101 stories submitted by writers to motivational speakers Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen. As with many contributors of Soup stories, it is Avril McIntyre’s first time being published. “I’m quite thrilled,” said the Forest Grove resident, who is currently working on a collection of short stories she hopes to find a publisher for. “It’s a foot in the door.” In her cat tale Emily, McIntyre recounts her reluctant adoption of a cat from the Burnaby SPCA after her young son, Jason, pleaded with her. “The little cat that I didn’t want became a very special little friend and companion for the next 21 years,” writes McIntyre in the short story. “She was there through happy times and sad. She watched Jason grow into a man, and I think she was just as sad as I was when he left home.” When McIntyre, 55, had a brush with cancer two years ago, Emily was a source of comfort, and she recounts how she was able to return the favour when the cat reached the end of her nine lives shortly afterward. McIntyre, who works as a showroom manager at a plumbing fixture store, said she hopes to spend more time focusing on her writing and she’s been asked to contribute to four more upcoming Chicken Soup tomes. “My first love is writing,” she said. “I love my customers, but I’ve been there a long, long time.” There are now more than 100 million copies of more than 100 different

In the soup: Local writer Avril McIntyre wrote a story about her beloved cat, Emily, that appears in Chicken Soup for the Soul: My Cat’s Life – 101 Stories about All the Ages and Stages of Our Feline Family Members.
Chicken Soup titles in 54 different languages. Canfield and Hansen, who’ve both become multi-millionaires through their publishing juggernaut, pay writers $200 each for stories that appear in every book. They are also always on the lookout for new writers, and submissions of between 300 to 1200 words can be made directly at www.chickensoup.com. “A Chicken Soup for the Soul story is an
inspirational, true story about ordinary people doing extraordinary things,” states the guidelines for submissions. “It is a story that opens the heart and rekindles the spirit. It is a simple, inter-denominational, living art piece that touches the soul of the readers and helps them discover basic principles they can use in their own lives. They are personal and often filled with emotion and drama. They are filled
with vivid images created by using the five senses.” While working on her upcoming writing projects, McIntyre will at least have the comfort of a different cat, Lizzie, which was given to her by her now 38-year-old son. “People actually like Lizzie,” said McIntyre with a laugh. “Not like with Emily. She was a one-person cat.”
Burnaby actor follows in the steps of the stars LIVELY CITY

A
Burnaby resident is following in the footsteps of some of Hollywood’s biggest stars. Rudy Novak has just graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City – following the likes of Robert Redford, Spencer Tracy, Danny DeVito and Adrien Brody. The 20-year-old, who sent an email to the NOW,
said he was overwhelmed to have been presented with the diploma at his graduation ceremony at Manhattan’s Majestic Theatre. He notes that the academy has a storied history in North America, having been founded in 1884. Rudy, a Notre Dame Secondary grad, left Burnaby straight after high school for New York, winning a $4,500 scholarship towards a two-year degree at the academy. Now he’s heading to L.A. to further his career. “I think it is important to gain a sense of perspective,” he said in his email. “I don’t think I would do myself justice without fur-
ther education. The training I’ve had is never going to go away.” Congratulations to Rudy, and we look forward to hearing your name in the future.

Czech it out
Well, this is my new fact of the day – I had no idea there was a Czech theatre company in town. I just received a message from Rasto Kral about Theatre Around the Corner – a local Czech and Slovak theatre community. The group has been in existence for more than 25 years and is bringing its next performance to Shadbolt Centre for the Arts – Nebla to pata, byla to
devata, a comedy about a marriage triangle. It’s directed by Jiri Menzel, with performances by noted Czech actors Rudolf Hrusinsky, Jana Svandova and Josef Carda. The play is on at Shadbolt Centre, 6450 Deer Lake Ave., on May 26, 27 and 28. It’s at 8 p.m. each day, with tickets available for $29. Call 604-205-3000 or buy online at tickets. shadboltcentre.com.

Don’t ‘rescue’ baby birds Do you see a baby bird that looks like it’s struggling to survive? Don’t pick it up just yet. “It’s not always easy to tell the difference between a bird learning to fly and a bird struggling for survival,” says Crystal Simmons, the Wildlife Rescue Association’s care centre liaison. The group has issued a rescue checklist to help people determine whether they should intervene with birds. ◆ Nestling or fledgling?: A nestling is a very young bird that is either naked or partially feathered. It is unable to stand or stay warm and is extremely vulnerable outside the nest. If the bird has no apparent injuries, you can see the nest and it is easily accessible, pick the bird up gently and return it to the nest. If you can find no sign of the nest or parents, please call Wildlife Rescue. If the bird is fully feathered, it is a fledgling and you should … ◆ Watch and wait: If you can see the parents nearby,
Publisher accepts special honour at CCNA awards Janaya Fuller-Evans

Brad Alden, publisher of the Burnaby NOW, did not expect to be honoured with a President’s Quill award from the Canadian Community Newspaper Association at its annual awards gala last month. “I had no anticipation I would be receiving the award that night,” Alden said in an interview last week. “I was very surprised.” He is the second person to receive the award since it was first given in 2010 to Coleen Campbell of Taber, Alberta. The award is for past board members of the association, to recognize distinguished accomplishments while serving on the board. “Essentially, it is to create acknowledgment of volunteer time on the board,” Alden said. Alden was honoured for his time on the board, from 2004 to 2010. Alden, who retired from the board one year ago, was recently asked to serve on it again. He was previously the chair of the innovation committee, which communicated with member newspapers about digital changes to the business, specifically in regards to social media such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Alden has been a publisher since 1988, and says it is the last of the three careers he’s had in his lifetime. He is also the publisher of the NOW’s sister papers, The

there is no need to intervene. But be patient. Adult birds often watch their offspring from a distance, or return a few times a day to feed them, so try and keep an eye on the situation throughout the day. ◆ When to take action: If the bird is limping or dragging a wing, or if you see blood, open wounds or any other obvious injury,
call the Wildlife Rescue helpline at 604-526-7275. The association also asks people who have cats to keep them indoors. If you can’t keep your cat indoors, consider investing in a CatBib (www.catgoods. com), which prevents cats from hunting birds. Information on dealing with baby birds is also at www.wildliferescue.ca.

Skip your way to better fitness KEEPING FIT
S
Shaun Karp
kipping isn’t just for kids on a playground. It’s a legitimate form of exercise that is utilized by professional athletes such as boxers, swimmers and football players. It can be a versatile, fun and beneficial way for anyone to exercise. It will help improve your endurance, cardiovascular health and overall fitness, and improve your coordination, flexibility and balance. Furthermore, it burns more calories than
many other forms of exercise, making it a great tool for losing weight. Many people avoid skipping because they become frustrated over the initial clumsy period, but it’s worth the effort it takes to get past that first obstacle. Compared to running or jogging, skipping burns a similar amount of calories (approximately 1,000 for every hour) but is easier on your joints and works out both your upper and lower body. It effectively tones your hips, bottom, calves, thighs, arms, abdominals, chest and shoulders. The jumping motion also increases calcium levels and thus helps to prevent osteoporosis. To begin, adjust the rope to fit your body. The handles should be about
one inch below each armpit when standing on the rope with both feet. Keep your elbows tucked by your side and use your wrists, not your arms, to turn the rope. Try to prevent yourself from leaning forward or skipping too slowly when starting out. The key is to keep your back straight and not to jump too high, only a few inches from the floor. You also want to make sure you keep the rope tight. After you become comfortable with the basic movement, you can begin to experiment with different movements and foot combinations. Try moving your feet in the jumping jack motion while skipping, try hopping on one foot, or try alternating your feet in a jogging movement while you skip. After you become
even more advanced, you can try skipping backwards, criss-crossing the rope, or letting the rope rotate twice with each jump. Skipping can be used as your main form of cardiovascular exercise, by completing 20 minutes three times weekly. It can also be used in interval training, by skipping for two to three minutes in between your strengthening exercises at the gym. Skipping is an excellent form of exercise that is fun, inexpensive and can be done anywhere. It’s great for people at all fitness levels and easily allows you to advance as your skill level increases. Shaun Karp is a certified personal trainer. See www. karpfitness.com.

Book launch
A Burnaby-based independent publisher is launching a new book next week. The Write Room Press, which is in its 10th year of operation this year, is launching Social Architecture, by Arden Henley, with a special celebration on May 27. It’s taking place at the downtown campus of CityU, 310-789 West Pender St., from 7 to 9:30 p.m. In the book, Henley reflects on the factors that make social organizations and communities workable and ‘inhabitable’ and on the factors that help us create and sustain habitable relationships. Gerda Wever of the Write Room Press says it’s satisfying that a small and local press can work those who are writing for a niche market. “Small-run production is tough for large global companies, yet there are many niche market books well worth producing, Social Architecture being one of them,” Wever said. For more about the book and the company, check out www.thewriteroom.net.

ARTHRITIS Great Sex
Happiness for couples is a satisfying sex life.
Pain free in 2 weeks!
This is what happened to me personally. After suffering for years I desperately tried everything, drugs, natural products,physiotherapy, acupuncture, magnets and nothing was of any real help. Finally I had relief in 2 weeks by taking shark cartilage that was specially processed to preserve the natural active ingredients. This is the kind we are now promoting. I realized then that there are over 50 million men and women that are battling the same illness and getting treatments that are not working well, otherwise we would not have this ongoing huge health problem. In the last 10 years we have helped tens of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all. This is a by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught because of their bones/cartilage. Don’t let anybody confuse you. Nick A. Jerch, President #1 We have real EVIDENCE that it works. On our web site you find over 100 testimonials with full names and towns. All 100% true. Skeptics may call them. Here are some examples: ! Doctor suggested knee replacement after all his options failed with drugs and cortisone shots in knee and lower back. I recommend Bell Shark Cartilage to those millions suffering needlessly like I did for 40 years with arthritis in my knees. It's a shame that I was given drugs and injections all these years when a natural medicine could have spared me the endless torture day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON !My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA!I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON!Cancelled knee replacement. I was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK.
FOR MEN GUARANTEED
EroxilTM helps most men to perform like in their 20’s. Evidence of a few hundred testimonials on our web site with full names and towns. All 100% true: !Eroxil is the best of all the supplements for men I’ve tried. Boosts my sex drive and I’m able to function anytime. Angus Gutke, 45, Calgary, AB !Regained virility in 3 days. My libido was restored for good sex. I’ve given it also to friends with the same results. One of them is a diabetic and overweight. Dr. Louis Rolland, 72, St. Hyacinthe, QC !Having orgasms off the Richter scale. It’s like I’m a teenager again. The world owes you big time. Lawrie Roberts, 47, Toronto, ON !Wonderful to feel like a man again. It’s wonderful to feel close to my wife again. God bless you! Charles E. Palen, 77, Burnaby, BC
FOR WOMEN GUARANTEED
ErosynTM is the only product that helps most women to restore libido, desire and the ability to climax. There is no drug or natural product like it. Evidence from our web site: !Erosyn saved my marriage. I’m overjoyed! My libido is back. Words cannot describe how grateful I am. Carla Daunais, 32, St-Hubert, QC !I’ve been married for 13 years and never experienced climaxes in the last 12 years - untill I took Erosyn. New sex life is exciting! What a miracle! Jeane Adams, 37, American Fork, UT !My sexual desire is greater now than it was for 30 years. It’s wonderful to have such ecstatic joy. I’ve tried others that didn’t work. Eve Jameson, 58, Kingman, AZ !I’m 92 and sex is good again. Regained intimacy makes life more interesting. Florence Fryer, Edmonton, AB

Toyota takes aim at a new generation of buyers David Chao
NOW contributor
Y
ou can’t understate the importance of brand loyalty. A consumer’s first impression of a brand – whether it’s good or bad – plays a major role in his or her future financial decisions, and nowhere is this more evident than in the automotive world. When it comes to major purchases, it’s a human nature to go with what you know. And that’s a problem for Toyota – or rather, that was a problem for Toyota. In 2003, the Japanese automaker was at the top of its game, increasing sales steadily and producing the world’s bestbuilt vehicles. However, its vehicle lineup had taken a decidedly conservative turn over the years, leading consumers to view Toyota as the first place you’d go for a family car and the last place you’d go for a fun car. Recognizing that it was losing out on the key young buyers’ demographic, Toyota went on the offensive. Rather than tampering with its strong identity and well-established values, Toyota instead created Scion: a new automotive brand focused entirely on young adults. The idea was to offer a completely different purchasing experience and vehicle selection, bringing new consumers to the Toyota family and generating the oh-soimportant brand loyalty. Based on the
results to date, the solution works – in the U.S., 70 per cent of Scion sales are to new customers, and 50 per cent of Scion owners go on to buy Toyotas. Scion has come to Canada with three current cars: the xD, xB, and tC – and soon the upcoming iQ. Without a doubt, the xB is the most important of these vehicles, effectively serving as Scion’s flagship vehicle. Redesigned in 2007, the boxy xB embodies the Scion philosophy, with a single trim level and an endless list of optional features from which owners can choose. While you could simply pick a colour and drive an xB off of the lot, the fun comes from customizing the vehicle to create something that’s uniquely yours.
Design
The second-generation xB has a very clean and simple design, serving as a blank canvas for the many personalization items available to it. There’s a definite family resemblance amongst the three current Scion vehicles, which bear similarities to Toyota styling, but with more angular profiles and harder lines. With a bigger footprint and softer edges than the original xB, the current model would seem almost back-heavy due to the large and windowless rear pillars, if not for the meaty front grille and bumper to balance it out. The minimalist interior is Spartan and

Fun: The 2011 Scion xB is one of Toyota’s new offerings aimed at young buyers. functional, with large dials, a centremounted gauge cluster, and a consolemounted shifter. As with the exterior, the intention is for buyers to dress the xB up with accessories, but the cabin might be a little too simple for those who just want a stock Scion. Perhaps the biggest issue is that the xB’s interior feels a tad cheap relative to the competition, due mostly to an abun-
dance of hard and unforgiving plastic. Given how it’s marketed, you’d expect a bit more from Scion.
Performance
With a 2.4L inline-four producing 158-hp and 162 lb-ft of torque, the xB has sufficient power to get around when fully loaded. Its five-speed manual

transmission is fluid and delivers power well, but the four-speed automatic is dated by today’s standards. For the most part, the xB drives like a small Toyota. However, it’s a lot more interesting than a Corolla or a Matrix, with a fun-loving attitude that’s mindful of the original RAV4 from the ‘90s. Handing is decent enough, with good road feedback from the steering. There’s nothing complicated about the xB, which demonstrates great balance and quickness without feeling a need to go fast.

Environment
Inside, the xB benefits from great seats that provide firm and supportive feel without proving too hard on your back. There’s lots of headroom – as you’d expect from such a boxy vehicle – and excellent rear legroom for a compact vehicle. Depending on your demographic, the spacious cargo area (which includes a useful underfloor storage bin) either brings an air of practicality to the xB, or provides lots of space for a giant subwoofer and amplifier. As far as controls go, the centre-mounted gauge cluster takes some getting used to, while the heating/ cooling controls follow the industry-standard threedial setup. Everything else is pretty much left up to the stereo system, and here you have a choice of the stock Pioneer system or an upgraded Alpine deck, both of which are prewired for additional speakers.
Features
The xB sells for $18,270 with the manual transmission and $19,290 with the automatic. Standard equipment includes ABS, air conditioning, cruise control, vehicle stability control, power windows, remote keyless entry, tilt/telescope steering, six-speaker Pioneer stereo system, Bluetooth, tire-pressure monitoring system, and front/side/ side-curtain airbags. Options for the xB include a rear spoiler, heated leather seats, premium Alpine audio system, and a security system, along with a variety of Toyota Racing Development performance accessories. The only thing that’s missing is a moon-
average Toyota without giving up any practicality.

Tips for buying a safer car
Thinking about buying a car? Any vehicle purchase is a significant investment, but for a small price difference you could be getting a whole lot more protection. Buying a vehicle with high standard safety features can not only protect you but also reduce the likelihood of you even being in a crash. Here are some tips from ICBC on buying a safer vehicle: ◆ Belt up: Seatbelts are still the most important safety device in a vehicle. Look for shoulder harnesses on all rear seats. Height adjustable shoulder belts ensure you can adjust the seatbelt to fit each passenger correctly. Seatbelt pretensioners retract the belt to remove excess slack in a crash. ◆ Full of air: As with seatbelts, airbags have evolved and improved over the years too. Advanced front airbags have sensors that actually measure the occupant’s size, seat position and crash severity to determine the inflation levels for the driver and passenger. Side airbags are a great feature too as they offer increased protection. ◆ Take a break: Anti-lock breaks (ABS) offer extra safety, especially in wintery, wet and icy conditions. ABS prevents a car’s wheels from locking, allowing you to maintain steering ability and avoid skidding while braking. ◆ Under control: Electronic stability control selectively applies the vehicle’s brakes and/or reduces the engine’s power to keep the vehicle moving in the driver’s intended direction, preventing loss of control. It works best at reducing the risk of a vehicle rollover. ◆ Keep level headed: A correctly adjusted head restraint significantly reduces the risk of soft-tissue neck and back injuries during a crash. To ensure the head restraint is adjusted correctly, raise your headrest so the top of it is at least level with the top of your ears and as close as possible to the back of your head.

Don’t suffer in the heat
CLICK & CLACK TALK CARS Ray & Tom Magliozzi
Dear Tom and Ray: My husband and I recently purchased a new car. My husband refuses to run the air conditioning in heavy stopand-go traffic or if we are sitting in the parked car. When I ask him what the reason is, he says that since the compressor for the air conditioning is beltdriven, if there is no airflow into the engine, the car will overheat. So I’m wondering why I see everyone else sitting in their nice, cool cars with the windows up, but their cars aren’t overheating. He has been this way with all of his vehicles. We have a vacation coming up with a 12-hour drive. I’m worried about long, hot construction delays. Is he right – should I continue to silently melt in 90-degree weather? Or
can we turn on the darn AC? – Katie RAY: Katie, we feel for you. We really do. The reason you see everyone else sitting in their nice, cool cars is because they’re not married to your stubborn husband. TOM: He’s being overly cautious. Far too cautious. For at least three decades now, all cars have come equipped with electric cooling fans. When the car isn’t moving and there’s no wind being pushed through the front grille, an electric fan now comes on, independent of the engine, and makes its own breeze for the radiator. RAY: That’s why cars can sit in traffic, even with the AC on, on very hot days, and still not overheat. TOM: In fact, most cars have a second cooling fan, or a higher speed for the cooling fan, that kicks in automatically whenever the air conditioner is turned on, just to provide extra cooling under hot conditions. RAY: Now, there is a limit to a cooling fan’s effective-

ness. It never will provide as much cooling air as you would get when driving 65 m.p.h. on the highway. So if you’re stuck in traffic for a long time, and it’s 120 degrees out, an engine still can overheat. But those are highly unusual conditions. TOM: So the bottom line is that you’re suffering needlessly, Katie. Here’s what you should do: Suggest that your husband try leaving the AC on during your upcoming vacation. RAY: Right. Just leave it on, whether you’re stopped or moving. As long as the “HOT” warning light on the dashboard doesn’t come on, that means the car is fine. And unless you’re in bumper-to-bumper traffic in Phoenix during a horrendous heat wave, or the cooling system malfunctions, that light’s never going to come on. TOM: But just in case, wear Egyptian cotton, Katie. Good luck. Send car questions to Click & Clack through the Car Talk website at www.cartalk. com.

I think therefore I am – a hockey player Offseason trade gave new life to questioning career Tom Berridge
sports editor
When René Descartes was contemplating the attainment of truth through reason, the 17th century father of modern philosophy might be excused for not seeing what effect his notable quote “Cogito ergo sum” would have on modern professional ice hockey. But believing proved to be huge factor for one Burnaby hockey player following a successful first full season in the National Hockey League. Rookie forward Mike Santorelli finished the 2010/11 season with the Florida Panthers second in overall team scoring with 41 points, including 20 goals, in his debut season in the bigs. But getting to play in the best pro hockey league in the world, and staying there, has not been an easy road for the shifty playmaker. Santorelli failed to make AAA bantam in his first tryout and was later passed over in the draft by the Western Hockey League teams. Instead, the Burnaby centre played junior A hockey and went the college route, spending three years at Northern Michigan University before turning pro in 2007. Back in 2004, he was drafted by the Nashville Predators in the sixth round, 178th overall, and later moved to their American Hockey League affiliate, Milwaukee Admirals. There he thrived, leading the Predator farm team in scoring in his final two

Keep on believing: Burnaby’s Mike Santorelli is coming off a great first season with the NHL Florida Panthers after three strong seasons in the American Hockey League of three seasons with the club, including a 70-point season in 2008/09. But making the step up to the NHL wasn’t as simple. In two separate promotions to the Preds, Santorelli mustered just two goals and a single helper in a 25-game season start in Nashville in 2009. He was returned to Milwaukee, where he again led the squad in scoring with point-per-game production despite playing in just 57 games. “Last summer, I came back and had my stint in
the NHL, I didn’t get a whole lot of minutes. I thought I might be a minor leaguer forever,” said Santorelli. “The biggest thing was I didn’t think I was a NHL player.” Later that summer, Santorelli’s confidence was dealt another blow when he was shipped off to Florida for a fifth-round draft pick. “I was stuck in the scenerio of being an entrylevel player and a prime candidate for demotion to the minors,” he said. “The biggest thing was believing in myself that I was a
player.” Although 6-0 and 190 pounds, Santorelli is considered undersized by NHL standards and the most common knock against him was consistently winning one-on-one battles for the puck. Always gifted with the puck, the speedy Santorelli understands what he has to do to stay on top. “It’s sort of a work in progress. It’s a part of the game I still have to improve on and work at playing without the puck,” he said. Before the trade to
Florida, Santorelli had already taken steps to beef up his game with offseason training with Twist Conditioning. “I always knew I had a speed game, but I wanted to get even more explosive, build up my strength,” Santorelli said. “I think the game is more mental than you think it is. It’s so huge. If you believe in yourself and feel confident in yourself, you’ll do great.” The most important, yet the hardest thing to do, is Hockey Page 42
Two of Santorelli’s favourite things Tom Berridge sports editor
Only two things could make Florida Panthers centre Mike Santorelli happier. One would be to be reunited with his hockey-playing sibling at the NHL level one day. The other would almost certainly be getting more playing time in front of his wholly supportive family.
Mike got the opportunity to play before a hometown crowd at Rogers Arena last October in just his second game of the season with the Panthers. “The best day of my life was playing in Vancouver and having my whole family there – my parents, my aunts and uncles, cousins, grandparents and friends, all at the game supporting me,” Santorelli said.
Florida lost the outing 2-1 against the Vancouver Canucks, but Mike collected his first point of the season, an assist. Mike experienced playing pro beside younger brother Mark for two seasons while with the Nashville Predators minor league affiliate Milwaukee Admirals of the American Hockey League. He has since been traded to Florida, where he enjoyed a promising
20-goal, 41-point beginning in his first full season in the NHL. But getting another chance to play with Mark would top it all, he said. “It would be my parents’ dream come true if we ever ended up back on the same team in the NHL and were again able to play together. For my parents, I think that is one thing they would like to see,” Santorelli added.
Bantam-aged Carly Cody booted the St. Thomas More Knights into its eighth consecutive B.C. AA high school girls’ soccer championships. Cody’s marker from the penalty spot gave the Knights a 2-1 shootout win over North Shore league champion Seycove Secondary in the AA final qualifier at Burnaby North turf on Monday. Sarah Hughes scored STM’s goal in regulation time. “We were lucky to win, I thought,” said STM head coach Carlo Zavarise. “It was one of those games that was played in the midfield, but I thought (Seycove) had the majority of the play.” STM finished first in the Lower Mainland independent league, fashioning an unbeaten 12-0-2 record, although both ties were later won on penalty kicks. Zavarise expects the Knights to be awarded a high seeding, but with three players on the limp, four others will be brought up from the junior varsity squad for the provincials. “If some of the kids heal up and we have reasonable depth, we might have a chance,” Zavarise added. “But it’ll be tough. I’m optimistic. We have a very good team.” In its lineup, the Knights have Eleni Tolusso, Samantha Drescher and Monica Podgorski from the Coastal A Cup champion Cliff Avenue Synergy. The AA provincials will be hosted at Archbishop Carney in Coquitlam from June 2 to 4. Earlier, STM defeated Archbishop Carney 2-1 to win the B.C. Catholic school soccer title. “I told the kids it’s our eighth time (to the provincials). They said, ‘And our Grade 8s are the ones that took us there.’ So maybe it’s crazy eights this year,” said Zavarise.

100 good reasons: Burnaby water polo player Jakie Köhli finished her junior year at Indiana University with a fourth player of the week honour.
Record finish for WP attacker Tom Berridge sports editor
Burnaby’s Jakie Köhli helped the University of Indiana place sixth at the NCAA Division I women’s water polo championships Sunday. Köhli scored three of her team-high five goals in a fourth-quarter rally that came up just short in a 12-8 loss to No. 7-ranked and Big West conference champion University of California – Irvine in the fifth-place game at the national championships in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Köhli, who was later named Western Division
player of the week, got the comeback started with a power-play goal to pull the No. 10-ranked Hoosiers to within three goals of the lead. It was the fourth weekly honour for the Burnaby swimmer this season. The Burnaby junior attacker also tallied four times to lead Indiana to an 11-8 win over UC San Diego in the consolation round on Saturday, helping the Hoosiers match the program’s all-time, singleseason record for wins with 26. The record win also marked Indiana’s first-ever victory at the NCAA cham-
pionships. The Moscrop Secondary grad scored 10 times, while also adding six assists, five steals and two blocks at the national championships. Köhli was named a second team all-tournament all-star following the nationals. Köhli led Indiana in scoring during the regular season with 71 goals, 37 assists and 89 steals. She is currently fifth on the school’s all-time goal scoring list with 180 goals, 103 assists and 223 steals and one of only seven Hoosiers to garner more than 100 goals, assists and steals in a career.

Knight wins inaugural open “IMMEDIATE RESPONSE FROM
The St. Thomas More Collegiate Knights golf team warmed up for AA zone qualifying this weekend with a strong showing at the inaugural Independent high school golf league open. Junior Alan Tolusso posted a two-round total of 140 to win the competition, carding identical 70s on both McCleery and Fraserview golf courses on May 9 and 10, respectively. Tolusso’s steady rounds were three shots better than runner-up Chris Crisologo of Vancouver College, who fired a league open-best 67 at Fraserview on the final day. Grade 11 Knight Lucas Gatto placed fourth with a 146 total, including a 71 at
McCleery on the opening day. Kevin Vigna of STM was fifth overall, one shot back. Senior Josh Punzo finished up in ninth place to help the STM team finish zone play in first place. Nick Belle, Gareth and Brendan Lancaster also competed for the Knights. Wyatt Racette from Vancouver College placed in a tie for 13th place. STM has won the provincial AA championships for the past three seasons. This year’s B.C. championships will be played at Radium Resort Springs Golf Resort from May 29 to 31.

VOLLEYBALL
Volleyball medals to Burnaby Zachary Or and Jonathan Kum helped the Focus Xplosion win the under-16 boys’ championship title at the Volleyball B.C. provincial championships May 8. The Xplosion won all its matches at the two-day tourney in Abbotsford, including a 25-22 and 25-20 sweep of the Surrey Eagles in the provincial final. The Focus club also swept the Fraser Valley Blues in straight sets in the semifinals to advance to the gold-medal game. Or was named to the all-tournament team.
Take a Pounding
Three Burnaby boys helped the Surrey-based Focus Pounders make it to the under-18 national volleyball championships. Burnaby Central’s Jason Boroevich, Mark Dallas
from Burnaby South and Burnaby North’s Preston Wong figured significantly in the Pounders’ goldmedal win at the recent Volleyball B.C. provincials in Abbotsford. The Focus club was a perfect 7-0 in the two-day competition, including a thrilling 25-23, 28-26 victory over defending provincial champion Fraser Valley in the final. Last weekend, the Pounders finished in fifth place at the national championships in Edmonton following a quarter-final loss to eventual bronze medallist NAVC from Edmonton.
All-stars two
Layla Balooch and Michelle Jakszuk of the South Burnaby Metro Club Kaboom were
named all-stars following a silver-medal finish at the recent 17-and-under girls’volleyball championships in Richmond.
May the Force …
The under-14 girls’ Focus Force placed second at the Volleyball B.C. provincials in Kelowna. The Force took Seaside Volleyball Club to a tiebreaker before falling in the Division 2 Tier 1 championship final. In the Div. 1 Tier 1 final, Ducks Bryan took the gold, edging Seaside Surf 25-22, 25-22 in the gold-medal final. The Ducks also knocked off the top seeded Sunshine Coast 25-19, 19-25 and 15-9 in a tiebreak in the semifinals, avenging three consecutive losses to the club earlier this season.
Hockey: It has to be your whole life continued from page 39
to find that balance, he added. So when former Nashville director of player personnel Mike Santos became the assistant general manager in Florida, Santorelli was given what amounted to a second chance. “(Santos) said, ‘Mike you’ve done it at every level, you can do this. There is no doubt in my mind. Just keep skating and it will be fine,’” Santorelli said It was. Santorelli played on a line with veteran Marty Reasoner and also got time on the power play with Stephen Weiss, scoring five times. “I don’t want to take my foot off the gas pedal, and I’m already thinking about what I have to do to get better. It could
change so fast,” Santorelli said. In April, the Panthers made an organizational move, relieving Peter DeBoer of the head coaching duties with the Panthers after the club finished at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. But, Santorelli isn’t about to dwell on what that might mean for his future prospects with the club. “I’m just so focused and determined to get what I want,” he said. “You have to find the right fit and get a good opportunity, but if you work hard and have your head screwed on straight, and all in, and determined to do whatever it takes, you’re going to do it. “It has to be your life. You can’t be half in. You have to go for it.”
Burnaby’s Alex Calbick scored the game-winning run in the 10th inning on a squeeze bunt play against Hartford to give the University of Maine baseball team a 3-2 win and its 11 straight NCAA Division I win.

Cancer June 21-July 22: This week and the next three are a “cross-over.” Part of your life will be tired, restricted, seeking rest, solitude and contemplation. You want to sum up and plan. Another part will be social, optimistic, seeking fun and looking forward to future events. This second part is emerging, and will, by late June, win out for a year, bringing great luck, social delights, wish fulfillment, light romance, and a love of life! But every spring needs a cold March, so we can prepare. Use these weeks ahead to plan, fulfill obligations, and clear your desk. A career might come true. Wisdom, midweek. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Two themes occupy you over the next four weeks: career, ambition and prestige relations (e.g., with VIPs) are one. The other is wish fulfillment, light romance, social joys, optimism and “future gazing.” In the long run, now to June 2012, the ambition area will prove more powerful and more beneficial. But for the month ahead, social delights, flirting and optimism win out. (In this, though, be willing to deepen flirtation into real romance, and don’t believe all the “social promise” you see.) Be gracious: a VIP, boss or parent will be impatient into mid-late June. Opportunity, Monday! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Although the ambitious side of your life is emphasized for the next four weeks, don’t throw everything into this area – and DON’T do anything unethical to get ahead, don’t change jobs, don’t push or dare a boss or parent, and don’t launch a business. That advice holds right into August 2012. Do, though, accept anything that comes to you. This year and a half demands strict “morality” from you: on the good side, in two weeks you start a year-long period of wisdom, understanding and gentle love. But avoid legal hassles for four weeks. Attraction, midweek! Financial caution Friday.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Although many things remain to be handled in money areas, life starts to lighten up. A restless feeling enters for the next four weeks, as do short trips, errands, lots of conversations and casual meetings. These weeks bring your first opportunity in some months to make peace with someone who has been quietly but strongly opposing you. You should make peace, or come to some understanding (especially Monday, Friday/Saturday) because this person has the upper hand, and will for some time. It might even be your mate! Happiness early, weariness midweek, then energy Friday/Saturday. Taurus April 20-May 20: The weeks ahead emphasize money, earning and spending, possessions and memory work/learning. (Dante said there’s no learning if you understand but don’t remember.) Be ambitious Sunday/Monday. Despite a wee frustration Sunday morning, most factors line up for success, especially Monday. Happiness, social joys and optimism enter midweek! But retreat Friday evening to Saturday – rest, plan, contemplate. Employment or health matters could face an obstacle Friday. Patience and thinking will show the way past it. Your charisma keeps shining, right into June: continue with projects. Gemini May 21-June 20: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness climb over the four weeks ahead. Start important projects, tackle chores that intimidated you, ask favours, chase someone. Through June 3, life (and your efforts) can bring social breakthroughs, light love, freedom, or bring you a true mate, a lucky relocation or a beneficial contract! But by subtle stages, now to June 2012, you’re turning toward quiet solitude, charity, governmental links, institutional connections, and administrative tasks. These will be lucky. The hustle-bustle world won’t be. Joy has barriers Friday, none Saturday!

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Legal, cultural, love, international, higher education, far travel and publishing themes enter until late June. In addition, the next two weeks might bring (or further) a life-mate attraction or a major opportunity. But don’t lean too heavily on this entire (legal to publishing) zone, for it might promise more than it delivers. Simultaneously, through the weeks ahead, an accent grows on secrets and secret action, sexual desires, lifestyle changes, investments, commitments: these will benefit you greatly from June to June 2012! Romance frustrates Sunday day, but night’s magic! Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: The bulge of work that piled on you over the last half year (and last summer) is quickly ending. Now through June 2012 your efforts will be rewarded with opportunities. But you might briefly lose direction during the few weeks ahead. Some advice: for two weeks, continue to accept responsibility, extra work. For four weeks, be wary of committing yourself deeply, whether it’s a financial, sexual or lifestyle commitment. (E.g., moving to Alaska is a lifestyle commitment.) Wariness is warranted in these zones right into August 2012. For four weeks, don’t fight. Midweek, romance. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Both opportunities and opposition face you for a few weeks. A romance might turn to life-mate decisions. Relocation, agreements, contract negotiations, litigation, these arise. But be wary of all these: now through August 2011, they might contain pitfalls. If you feel you’re chasing an always-elusive or ever-receding goal, opportunity or relationship, turn your back on it, completely. If it just falls into your lap, accept. Soon work duties will expand, maybe hugely, to fill the 12 months ahead. Huge success could follow! Steady your nerves; learn to work without stress.
Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The four weeks ahead emphasize work, health and machinery concerns. Don’t give everything to this area – especially, don’t bury yourself in work to avoid other, scarier things such as romance. Romance, creative and speculative urges, pleasure, beauty, sports and games – these mildly intensify now, and will grow to huge proportions during the 12 months ahead. During the same year ahead, you’re going to meet good luck in administrative, governmental or institutional situations. Careful with money Sunday – chase it Monday. Nice friends midweek. Home irks Friday, soothes Saturday. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: A month of romance, creativity, pleasure and beauty starts now. Kids will charm you, you’ll excel at sports and games. You’ll ride a winning streak! But many matters at home, or affecting your security, intensify now. This can bring friction as well as affection, talk and action. Use these weeks to prepare, if possible, for an extended (year-long) period of good luck in this zone, which will arrive June 4. Study real estate ads, for example, or retirement plans, or get repair/reno quotes. Your energy and charisma soar Sunday/Monday. You might attract love! Money, midweek. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: The weeks ahead feature security, your domestic situation, real estate, rest and recuperation, Mother Nature, nutrition, gardening. Do what you must, but don’t plunge wholly into these areas, and don’t begin big important projects here. You might want to end some associations and projects, and to begin others – but this would probably cause a lot of talk, and lead nowhere. Some very interesting trips and lively new friends are on the horizon, but they aren’t here yet. Rest, meditate and plan Sunday/ Monday. Your energy rises nicely midweek. Money irks Friday, succeeds Saturday. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
