Fundraising food bank is not a charity

Donation receipt raises resident’s suspicions after Deep Cove solicitation Benjamin Alldritt balldritt@nsnews.com

AN organization soliciting food bank donations on North Vancouver doorsteps is not actually a registered charity, despite handing out receipts claiming it is. A fundraiser visited Marian Wilson’s Deep Cove home June 11 and said he was raising money for Single Parent Food Banks of B.C., based in Mission. He carried a clipboard with information on the food bank and several visible bank notes. The man struck up a friendly conversation with Wilson’s husband, who eventually gave a small cash donation. The fundraiser, who admitted he was being paid for his time, gave the Wilsons a piece of paper with “Official Charity Receipt” printed on it, along with a B.C. Society Act registration number and a “CRA Non Profit Society” number. Afterwards, Wilson searched for the food bank in the Canada Revenue Agency’s online database of registered charities and couldn’t find it. A quick phone call later, “the government informed me this is a useless piece of paper, good for nothing,” she said. See RCMP page 5

CAM McLeod of Angel Restoration ofﬁcially opened his company’s new electric vehicle charging station at 1484 Rupert St., North Vancouver on Thursday. The Coulomb Electric charging station is free for public use and is capable of charging a Stage 1 and Stage 2 vehicle simultaneously. BC Hydro anticipates 25,000 electric vehicles in use in the province by 2013.

Victor Weins, 64, who previously pleaded guilty to charges of sexual interference, sat motionless as Judge Carol Baird Ellan read his sentence, which also included two years probation and registration as a sexual offender. Baird Ellan emphasized the extreme age discrepancy between the two, and told Weins he should have known what he was doing was wrong and harmful to the student, who because of the incident suffers from depression, sleep loss and a number of serious emotional problems. “He made the absolute worst choice over and over again,” she said. The charges stem from a relationship Weins had with a student at Sutherland,

“MY perception of my disability is that I really have an ability, not a disability,” Shayne De Wildt says from the electric wheelchair he lives in most days. De Wildt, 19, has cerebral palsy. Sitting in his parents’ Deep Cove home, De Wildt’s disability is evident, from the way his legs are contorted to the obvious labour it takes him to make vowels and consonants cohere into audible words. For De Wildt there is no escaping his disability. It will be present every day of his life. Yet in no way has he let it dictate or define the identity he has moulded as his own. “I have learned from experience, and I just want to be me for me and do what I do best,” he says.

Speaking to the North Shore News, Canada Revenue Agency spokesman Philippe Brideau confirmed that Single Parent Food Banks of B.C. is not a registered charity. Nor did the food bank obtain a permit from the District of North Vancouver, which is required before a group can solicit door-to-door. While the sum of money was small, the incident still irks Wilson. “There’s a lot of good people out there, and they should be getting the money,” she said. Cpl. David Reece, a member of the North Vancouver RCMP’s economic crime unit, said the fundraising appears to be breaking the law. “A lie is being told, and they have parted with their money accordingly,” Reece said. “That makes it, under (Criminal Code) Section 380, fraud under $5,000. The test is if the person who parted with the money says ‘Had I known the truth, I wouldn’t have parted with the money,’ then it’s fraud.” Reece said the fundraiser himself may have been working in good faith and would likely be a witness rather than a defendant if the case came before the courts. “At a detachment level, we would be interested in finding out who is going around canvassing and obtaining money fraudulently,” he said. Single Parent Food Banks of B.C. is a provincially registered society, with Mirek Kwasny listed as its principal. Kwasny’s fundraising activities have left a history of controversy in several communities. He operated the Canadian Charity Assist Society in Maple Ridge as a registered charity until the CRA revoked its charitable status in 2008 following an audit. According to several Fraser Valley media outlets, the audit found the group “had not maintained adequate books, records or internal accounting controls.” Furthermore, “the charity has not devoted all of its resources to charitable activities due to the extensive fundraising expenses and director benefits.”

Kwasny has also drawn sharp criticism in the media from food banks in Abbotsford and Richmond, which worried his fundraising was discrediting their own efforts. Kwasny was convicted and fined in 1993 for three violations of the Income Tax Act. Earlier this week, Kwasny was charged with seven new tax violations. Kwasny told the North Shore News he was too ill to speak on the telephone but agreed to answer questions via email. He said his food bank is registered federally as a non-profit society and has filed paperwork with the CRA seeking to become a charity. Single Family Food Banks of B.C. raised $96,000 in cash in 2010, Kwasny wrote, as well as $20,000 worth of donated food. His door-to-door fundraisers keep 30 per cent of what they bring in, he wrote. One food bank worker gets “some donation” and another has their gas, cellphone and groceries covered, but Kwasny himself doesn’t keep any percentage of the group’s revenue, he wrote. Under the Income Tax Act, non-profit groups are specifically defined as not being charities and are not allowed to issue donation receipts. What’s more, no member of the organization can keep any of the group’s income unless its purpose is to promote amateur sports. The Single Parent Food Bank does not have a location on the North Shore and Kwasny wrote that he could not recall ever providing food for a North Shore client. “We have been helping families for 20 years,” he wrote. “We have made mistakes, we have learned, we made correction, we got burned by the wrong people, so we are more careful who we let in to the SPFB. This is not done for the money. Myself personally it’s my love of Christ and wanting to help people.” Regarding the use of the word “charity” on the food bank’s receipts, Kwasny said he “hadn’t noticed” it when they went to the printer, but corrected the “mistake” in October of 2010. The one offered to the Wilsons, he wrote, must have been an old one.

which crossed the line first with sexual touching during a hug in June of 2008, where Weins put his hands through the student’s hair, down her back to just above the buttocks, according to the agreed upon statement of facts. Weins texted and emailed the student, arranging meet-ups in North Shore parks and sharing the details of his marital problems. With the permission of her parents, who thought he was helping to further her education, he took her to performances such as opera and Bard on the Beach. The relationship turned increasingly sexual in November of 2009, progressing to partial nudity, fondling and kissing, often after hours at the school. The nature of the relationship came to the attention of school officials in February 2009, when the janitor walked in on the two in a utility closet in the school’s textile room and reported the relationship to school officials and the RCMP. Within a week, Weins was put on leave and investigated by police, and the relationship ended temporarily. But without enough evidence to lay charges Weins again resumed the relationship. Weins stopped seeing the student in July 2009, and charges were laid in October 2010. While the victim wasn’t physically coerced into the relationship, Baird Ellan said that those under the age of consent cannot legally consent to sexual activity, and that any perceived

agreement was irrelevant to the law. The minimum sentence for the crime was 45 days in jail, however crown counsel had asked for a 12-18 month sentence. Crown Counsel Ron Edwards said the decision was fair, adding that judges are increasingly giving tougher sentences for sexual offenses involving minors. “It’s clear that Parliament wants judges to give harsher sentences here,” he said following the sentence. Defence lawyer Claire Hatcher had requested a three-month sentence. While she declined to comment after the case, during submissions Hatcher emphasized the early guilty plea by Weins, who she said accepted responsibility for his actions, has already lost his job and has been shunned by the community and showed a great deal of remorse. “Mr. Weins read the victim impact statement and was very moved by it,” she said.

Two-faced

HE actions of rioters negatively affected how Vancouver was seen by the world last week. We’ve called them morally bankrupt. What should we call our federal government when its actions negatively affect how Canada is judged by those who live in countries less disposed to put cash ahead of ethics? We are talking about Canada’s shameful efforts in keeping chrysolite asbestos from being listed as a hazardous chemical by the United Nations. That self-serving — or Quebecserving — initiative came to a successful conclusion Friday when global luminaries Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Vietnam sided with Canada and declared they had problems with including chrysolite on a trade “watch list” of chemicals and

pesticides that exporters must share information on. Even India, Canada’s largest importer of the ﬁre-retardant and known carcinogen, has dropped its opposition to labelling chrysolite hazardous. That left Canada in the two-faced position of telling the international summit dealing with the issue on Thursday that it agreed listing chrysolite was “appropriate,” but that Canada was “not in a position to support the listing.” And in a piece of coincidental news, Prime Minister Stephen Harper was celebrating St-Jean-Baptiste Day by visiting Thetford Mines, Que., with Industry Minister Christian Paradis, the MP for the riding. Thetford Mines is home to the country’s last operating asbestos-mining operations.

“I saw someone throw a stop sign like a Frisbee. That could have killed someone.” North Shore resident Peter Stokes describes a scene he witnessed during the recent Stanley Cup riot in Vancouver (from a June 19 news story). ••• “The videotapes tell a tale of two casual murderers who are rather proud of what they’ve done.” American prosecutors describe footage of Sebastian Burns and Atif Rafay, two West Vancouver men who were convicted of killing three members of Rafay’s family in Seattle in 1994. The men are appealing their convictions, arguing that the RCMP-obtained video should not have been admissible in a Washington court (from a June 22 news story). ••• “I don’t think any one of them has a soul in there. They all say they’re compassionate, but not in my backyard. Typical form of NIMBYism. It’s very disheartening and sad.” Ken Starr, president of Re-Leaf Dispensary Society, denounces District of North Vancouver councillors for banning medical marijuana dispensaries like the one he planned to open in Deep Cove (from a June 24 news story).

Dear Editor: For a few years it looked as if we, in the City of North Vancouver, could trust our council and staff to be good caretakers of our salmon streams. Well, it seems that day is over, with the latest ﬂawed development proposal slated for a quick public hearing right at the start of the summer holidays. At issue is a land swap that compromises lands near Mosquito Creek’s most sensitive salmon habitat. Déjà vu or what? Many will remember there was strong public opinion against the “martial arts” building next to Mosquito Creek. The outcry was not about its intended use, it was because the sale of public parkland was arranged long before asking the public, and because streamside habitat was being destroyed. As the sale went through, city council and staff stated they “would not develop or alter any more land next to the creek and would keep the entire area, north of the building to Marine Drive, as natural green space.” A few years later, they built the Low Level Bridge and said: “That’s it. No more bridges or crossings.” On July 4, council and staff would like to ﬁnalize an agreement with a developer. The developer would get publicly owned land next to Mosquito Creek, the city yard site, and the city would get brand new works yard buildings, built by the developer, on different land farther south, at no cost to us taxpayers. No monetary cost, that is. The land value of the new site is said to be one-third the value of the old site, same size. The developer would then build 375 residential units on the current city yard site and a new bridge over the creek, to be located in the green space the city pledged to keep green to compensate for the “martial arts” building. All bridges are an unfortunate source of debris, trash and

contaminants, and noise. They chop up habitat, block wildlife movement, and eliminate a sizeable piece of the tree canopy. There are already two crossing the creek here — one just north and one just south of the site. Another bridge is actually not needed for access, as there are two ways in and out of the site now. It’s more likely a design feature, part of a wish list, possibly to help make the housing units more saleable to future residents. The site is between two high trafﬁc routes, Marine Drive and the Low Level Connector, and close to the very noisy railway. All of the land alongside the creek is supposed to be protected stream habitat. Instead, the section north of the development site to Marine Drive, would end up with a sidewalk on one side of the creek, a paved trail on the other and a bridge between, where none of those exist now. Last year someone cut trees next to the creek and the city’s bylaw enforcement department ﬁned them, as they should, under their protection bylaws. It’s the same place the city now wants to clear cut for a bridge. None of the city’s advisory committees had any concerns about the proposed development. I have concerns: That some people always put the environment dead last. The public hearing on Monday, July 4, will be the last chance to comment, in person or in writing, to city council. Requests or comments can also be sent before then. Drop off to Mayor and Council, City Hall, 141 West 14th Street, North Vancouver, B.C., V7M 1H9; fax to 604-985-9417; email to Mayor and Council at clerks@cnv.org. Karen R.

Garbage inside is no solution Dear Editor: Whilst sensitive to the plight of the bears as a result of urban encroachment, I take umbrage with the ludicrous letter that residents keep a week’s worth of rotting garbage, inside their family homes, to prevent scavenging. (Take Your Trash Inside Save a Bear, North Shore News, Sunday, June 19.) The smell, particularly during the warmer months of the year, the health and disease considerations for babies and small children — not to mention old people with breathing problems — and the enticement for vermin are just some of the problems which immediately spring to mind. Advocating such draconian measures is at best unfortunate, and at worst shortsighted. It’s time common sense and moderation emerged into this debate. Jacqueline Kirby North Vancouver

THE Summer Solstice hit last week, bringing with it, for me, the irresistible urge to take off all my clothes, artfully arrange my Rubenesque body into something a little more Modigliani, then hop onto a bicycle and parade past thousands of strangers.

And you? If not, you obviously aren’t from Seattle, Wash., where we were last weekend. There, the naked bicycle ride by the Solstice Cyclists has been unofﬁcially kicking off the Fremont neighbourhood’s Summer Solstice Parade, Pageant and Fair for many years. Though there are all kinds of naked bike rides around the world, including in Vancouver, this ain’t your regular crew of anarchist tubthumpers reeking of evening primrose oil and quinoa. Rather, this bohemian event is organized by the Fremont Arts Council — “Fremont is a state of mind not a zip code,” its website declares proudly, throwing even commas to the wind — and it’s the inventiveness of the body paint on the bikers that allegedly thrills the crowd. “‘Naked’ & ‘nude’ are misnomers, all of the cyclists are PAINTED,” the Fremont Fair’s website says, noting that this is a “Parade For Arts’ Sake.” Yeah, whatever. The nudity is obviously a huge draw, especially for male viewers, who, as you’re

Kate Zimmerman probably aware, can never get enough of it. We took a couple of teenaged boys with us, and they couldn’t believe their luck as pert universityaged girls proudly cycled along the parade route, painted up as any number of animals, ﬂower gardens and superheroes. My husband Stanley delightedly snapped photographs while I sternly pointed out that he needn’t avert his camera so quickly from the bright pink woman ably impersonating the drag queen and ﬁlm star Divine, or the pantless, Nordiclooking 60-plus dude with the breastplate and Viking helmet. The Solstice Cyclists’ own website describes the event as a “fantastic and whimsical celebration of the return of the sun” — not that there was any last Saturday. “The Painted Cyclists engage and entertain the crowd with our boldness, bareness and enthusiasm,” the website promises. “Join us as we welcome summer to Seattle with an outpouring of artistic

expression, fossil fuel free travel and fun.” (That’s the key, folks — if you go alone and are challenged by your partner regarding why you drove several hours south to attend the Fremont Fair, simply say you wanted to bear witness to the fossil fuel-free travel. Your spouse will buy that.) The truth of the matter is that the Fremont Fair is a helluva good time, and I’m not even getting into the hundreds of kiosks, the food stands, and all the excellent free music, to which oddly dressed people of every age happily dance in the street. Just ask the small, bearded man of about 90 who positioned himself near one of the stages, facing the passersby rather than the music. He was dressed in a series of long, colourful skirts over the course of the weekend, and waving brilliant chiffon scarves as he danced feebly for hours near a display advertising the joys of Kashi. His performance may have been Kashi-related; quite possibly he wasn’t endorsing anything but the joys of being alive and dancing at 90. Either way, he certainly made me think twice about why I had dismissed the idea of nutritious wholegrained Kashi all these years. “Crunchy clusters, sweet squares, ﬂakes and granola,” Kashi’s website boasts about itself, and there was plenty of all that at the Fremont Fair. Nevertheless, the inthe-buff bike ride was the highlight. Not only is it amazing to see scores of people display this kind of

grinning lad masquerading as the Cat in the Hat; and the Santa who had painted his cherubic body bright red, including his own set of dangling Christmas ornaments. I say we bring this Fremont tradition to the parade that starts Lynn Valley Days, which, to my recollection, could really use the boost. Let’s get rid of the fossil-fuel vehicles carrying the dreary waving representatives of commercial institutions and political parties and replace them

with naked mountain bikers painted as nurse logs and waterfalls, under-slung with bushes of salmon berries. I see bare-naked ladies, representing North Shore gardening clubs, brightly painted as “rhodo warriors.” I picture bicycles dressed up as kayaks and sailboats, piloted by pseudo-skunks, exuberant runs of salmon and joyful off-leash dogs. I won’t participate, don’t worry — I’m simply the visionary. Please, just make it so. kate@katezimmerman.ca

We keep hearing of the benefits that regular walking has on our health. To quantify the amount of walking, L Alzheimers disease DARY (AD) researchers ist Pharmac showed that walking 8 km per week slowed the progression of the disease in AD patients and in those with mild cognitive impairment. This also works for those without an AD diagnosis by helping those areas of the brain responsible for memory. There is so much research being done in the treatment of so many diseases. Our pharmacists work hard to keep current on what’s new in the world of drug therapy.

nerve, especially in the rain, it’s inspiring to see them have so much fun at it. One year, apparently, the police tried to arrest the Solstice Cyclists, so now it’s commonplace to see unclad bike riders painted like English bobbies pretending to chase down the free spirits leading the parade. My favourite nudie was an artiste with a body like Fred Flintstone, streaked with brown paint that suggested iffy Neanderthal hygiene, wearing long, tangled caveman hair and beard, brandishing a club, with his giant feet pressed to his metal pedals. Stanley lauded certain young, cheery females for obvious reasons, but especially liked the chubby pompadoured Elvis impersonator in the paintedon white jumpsuit; the lean,

Guards catch jail dope drop

North Van woman gets curfew, 9-month conditional sentence Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com

A 41-year-old North Vancouver woman who delivered marijuana and hashish to her boyfriend in a Maple Ridge jail has been handed a ninemonth conditional sentence, including a fivemonth curfew. Judge Bryce Dyer of the Port Coquitlam provincial court handed the sentence to Brigitte Ingrid Schepannek, a mother of four, after finding her guilty of two charges of drug trafficking. Schepannek was visiting her boyfriend Jimmy Benoit at the Fraser Regional Correctional Centre on March 29, 2009 when a woman visiting with another inmate saw Schepannek stand up and pass something to Benoit over the glass barrier, who quickly shoved the object in his pants. Schepannek’s visit was cut short by prison officials who demanded to know what she had handed Benoit. Schepannek told them she had given him a package of tobacco. But analysis of the package showed it also contained 2.3 grams of marijuana and 28.1 grams of hash. In court, Schepannek testified that Benoit called her three days before the visit, asking her to bring some tobacco to the jail for him. He told her another man who would call her would provide it. Schepannek said she later got a call from the man, a stranger to her, who she met in a car parked in a nearby lot. He handed her the package, saying “Give this to Jimmy.” Schepannek told the judge she didn’t open the package “even though she received it from a man she had never met before

and even though she knew she could get into big trouble if she brought drugs inside the centre,” the judge noted in a written decision. She did conceal it in her underwear to bring it into the jail, however. In ﬁnding her guilty, the judge rejected Schepannek’s story that she didn’t know the package contained drugs, saying her story about meeting the stranger in the car was “vague in the extreme.” If Benoit really just wanted tobacco, “Why not just go to the corner store and buy some?” the judge asked. Schepannek was ordered to stay away from drugs and alcohol as part of her sentence and to complete 50 hours of community work service.

From page 3 his country, he realizes that power soccer is just a sport and not his life. “For me soccer has been really good, but it has given me the opportunity to pursue other things in life,” he says. “It’s really empowering. I’ve learned all of these skills that I need — determination, and leadership. Just knowing that if I can be on a national team, why can’t I do something else? It’s just the will to achieve more.” Since its inception in the early 1980s power soccer has evolved rapidly, explains Galvani’s father, Luigi, who is also the coach of the North Shore club team. It has grown from a recreational activity meant to provide an athletic outlet for individuals in power chairs, to a sport that allows competitive and driven athletes to compete for a world championship. “It is its own sport, and I think that’s the beautiful thing about it and what really resonates with people when they watch the game and realize what’s going on. I think that’s why it has taken off so quickly around the world.” The national team will be holding multiple fundraisers this summer in order help offset the cost of the trip to Paris. On Saturday, July 2 the team will be hosting an event at the Raven Pub, and on July 23 the team will be hosting its ﬁrst annual golf tournament at Maple Ridge golf course.

Appliance thieves still active

Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com

THAT guy who looks like the Maytag repairman loading your neighbour’s dishwasher into his cube van could be a thief instead. Police are warning the public once again to be on the lookout after four high-end appliances were stolen from unoccupied homes on the North Shore in the past 10 days. The recent heists follow 14 similar thefts on the North Shore between January and March. “It’s probably more ongoing than we realize,” said Cpl. Richard De Jong, spokesman for the North Vancouver RCMP. Major appliances are typically ripped out of homes that are listed for sale or are just in the ﬁnishing stages of construction. In the past, police have suggested the thieves probably do their homework before deciding on their targets, perhaps even going to open houses to case particular homes and see if there is an alarm system.

In the most recent cases, “I don’t know if they are custom shopping,” said De Jong. The appliance thieves often get in to the homes through a sliding patio door that has been left unlocked — usually a larger door is needed to haul out bigger appliances, said De Jong. They use pick-up trucks and cube vans to haul away their take, sometimes even in the middle of the day when neighbours assume the items are being taken out as a legitimate part of a move. The appliances are then sold — sometimes on sites like Craigslist — for a fraction of their value. “It’s always buyer beware,” said De Jong, who urged people to be wary of where their “deals” are coming from. In the meantime, police are warning homeowners to secure sliding windows and doors, record serial numbers of appliances and talk to neighbours about reporting suspicious activity.

from people who have been referred to me from one of my past clients,” says Jennifer.“This is the ultimate compliment. It’s important that my clients are happy and that I have improved their quality of life. Our service has also improved the lives of family members who drive their aging parents to medical appointments while they are still trying to juggle their own day-to-day lives.” Being independently owned helps Hear at Home deliver better service. “We’re not owned by a hearing aid manufacturer. This gives us the freedom to shop the world for specific solutions to individual hearing problems. Everybody is different.”

This independence has also allowed them to partner in the community. “We are now a Playcard Partner with the North Vancouver Recreation Commission. Anyone with a Playcard is eligible for a 10% discount on custom made swim plugs.” In the end, it all comes down to improving everyone’s quality of life. “Hear at Home truly does care about our clients and their family members,” says Jennifer. “We have the freedom and the drive to go above and beyond.

The Answer for Cancer Tour 2011 left Vancouver June 11. Today, its four riders are scheduled to travel from Rapid City, S.D. to Denver, Colo. Losch, who works in real estate, is a professional speaker as well is a mobile app developer, has been a motorcycle enthusiast for the last 10 years. As cancer has played a large role in her life as of late, she viewed the tour as the perfect opportunity to do something she loves, as well as serve a greater purpose. “Cancer has been in my world since 2008 basically, when both my parents were diagnosed,” said Losch, in an interview prior to leaving the North Shore. “They’re both well, thank God — early detection and successful treatments and whatnot — but that launched me into the world of cancer.” Over the last three years she’s been back and forth between Canada and the United States due to where her husband, who she married in December 2010, is based.

B.C. offers lots of family-friendly adventures THE sun hovers over the thick tree canopy as I snake my way along some of the sweetest B.C. single track.

My dirt bike carves up the corners and makes me feel like I am hovering above the forest floor. Bear Creek in West Kelowna is a place where Kim and I have been coming for five years now. Its location only 4.5 hours from Vancouver, and its dry desert heat mean it is the perfect three-day getaway to escape the city in favor of outdoor adventure. We discovered these incredible trails when Kim first started dirt biking and since then have been coming back to enjoy them, as well as the camping and the great people we meet along the way. Over the last two years, Bear Creek has undergone some amazing changes. The Okanagan Trail Riders Club has taken on the project of mapping trails using GPS and making submissions to the government for funds to create the first off-road riding area in B.C. Their hard work has created hundreds of kilometres of new sustainable trails, beautiful campgrounds and bridges and fencing to protect sensitive areas.

Supercharged Dave Norona

It has been tons of work between volunteers, fundraising efforts and donations by awesome companies that made this place so incredible. It now stands as a model for other areas to follow. Recently, Kim and I arrived with our great friend Steve Klassen. Steve builds a lot of the mountain bike and moto trails in Squamish with Big Red Ted, and if you ride there you have them to thank for the incredible single track. Steve also owns Bean

Brackendale and always brings great coffee and snacks for our rides. Each day we rode 60 to 90 kilometres of single track and stopped to enjoy amazing views of the Okanagan Valley, Okanagan Lake and the abundant wildlife (black bears, deer and mountain goats) that live in the area. Lunch was always spent on the trail where we chatted about the rad trail we just rode or which direction we should head off in after lunch. In the evening, we started with a roaring fire and cooked up some tasty buffalo burgers or a concoction we developed by cutting up fennel, onions, garlic, potatoes, yams and caribou sausage and placing it a tin box and cooking it in the fire. It was so fun and, of course, enjoyed along with many beers around a late night fire! I am always amazed how easy it is to get away in British Columbia and enjoy our extensive backcountry. Whether you like to RV, tent or hotel it, adventure

Site looks to spotlight everyday local heroes never blogged, I had never even Facebooked until August of last year,” she says. Way was a fast learner and updates her site daily. “That was the inspiration or the concept behind it is that there are simple things everyone can do in their life every

day to give back,” she says. For example, a post might suggest readers do a beach clean-up, smile at strangers, volunteer with a particular organization or provide a link to a petition they can sign. “Giving does not have to be giving away a million dollars, you don’t have to give away every dime you have,” she says.

“A lot of people, and especially these days, don’t have a lot of spare money to give, so it’s ﬁnding things in your life that you can do other than donating every day.” Community members are encouraged to read the blog, take action, as well as send ideas for future posts. “I’m always looking for guests,” says Way.

on the site. “Stories like hers, that’s the part that’s inspiring me the most . . . the everyday people who are doing remarkable things to give back to the world.” As the year-long project will come to an end in a few months, Way is ﬁnalizing her plan on how she’ll move forward. Her ideas include introducing the program’s message to schools as well as focusing more on the everyday hero aspect; for example, continuing

to highlight people like Peters. “If I can do it, anyone can,” says Way. “If I can find the time in a day being a mom and having my own business, if I can find the time to do it and blog about it, then everyone can find time in their day to give something, to give just a little bit and that’s the main message I’m really trying to get across — and tweet and Facebook and just share it with the world.” For more information, visit www.365give.ca.

“I love to hear other people’s stories. I’ve been so inspired by local people.” Through social media, Way met North Vancouver resident Chelsea Peters, who has just launched the Atin Afrika Foundation (www.atinafrika.org), which is working to improve the lives of children in northern Uganda by opening a transitional home for street youth. “She amazed me when I met her,” says Way, adding she opted to feature Peters

hospitals in Phoenix, Ariz., sitting with cancer patients as they underwent chemotherapy treatments. “That was really where I saw ﬁrsthand how horrible the disease was, but even more so, I saw how little education there was in the system about nutrition and lifestyle choices and whatnot to really reduce the length of treatments and just to better your quality of life,” she said. The Answer for Cancer Tour is partnered with and will beneﬁt Canada’s Prevent Cancer Now, whose mission is to eliminate preventable causes of cancer, and the Breast Cancer Fund, a United States organization working to eliminate environmental and other preventable causes of breast cancer. “When the opportunity came up to do this awareness ride, I was all over it,” said Losch. For the ride, she’s joined by two friends, Vancouver’s Jason Bosa and Port Coquitlam’s Del Ferguson, as well as Arizona naturopathic doctor Christina Tondora. As they travel, they’ll engage with local media, host cancer prevention education events and will be supported by volunteersandrepresentativesof the two partner organizations. “A big part of it is the information and then the second part is raising funds for

those two beneficiaries. Ideally, we’d raise half a million for each one,” said Losch. Losch is an experienced endurance athlete, having climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, as well as rider. A member of the Iron Butt Association, she’s the only woman to have completed the SaddleSore 1000 on a CBR. “That was definitely an endurance ride,” she said. However, the Answer for Cancer Tour is definitely her longest journey to date. “I’ve done lots of two-week trips on bikes where you’ve got heavy days back to back, but definitely nothing that’s 65 days of riding every day but one a week. This is definitely a new adventure,” she said. In addition to connecting with the riders when they pass through various communities at public events, as well as making donations, members of the public are encouraged to join the tour for portions of the ride. “I am most looking forward to seeing people grab hold of the (prevention) message, that’s one thing,” said Losch. “I really love it when they get it and start to see, ‘Oh my gosh, that is a change I can make.’” The riders are scheduled to return home Aug. 13.

Celebrate Canada Day on the North Shore

“This place that I come from has been nurturing, it has been kind, and the people here have a genuine interest in all aspects of life and everything that it has to offer, and that shows in our society and it shows in our hearts.”

On Friday we mark 144 years since the July 1, 1867, enactment of the British North America Act (today called the Constitution Act, 1867), which united two British colonies and a province of the British Empire into a single country called Canada.

Keifer Sutherland’s words — when he was inducted into the Canadian Walk of Fame in 2005 — beautifully describe our Canadian spirit and way of life.

Pick your party or go to them all. The North Shore Canada Day Parade begins at 10 a.m. at 13th Street and Grand Boulevard in North Vancouver, while the festivities at Waterfront Park, which run from noon to 4 p.m., include free activities, a craft fair, the BC Bike Race kids race, and a main stage showcasing local youth talent. In West Vancouver, John Lawson Park will be the site of a Red and White Picnic from 2:30 to 10:30 p.m. that will see live music and ﬁreworks carry the celebration into the night.

This year, whether we were fundraising for victims of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan; cheering on our beloved Canucks or helping with the downtown cleanup after the post-game party went bad, North Shore residents showed we have an abundance of that life-loving spirit. Now it’s time to celebrate being Canadian and all the qualities it represents: tolerance, respect, curiosity, adventure, tenacity, fun and plenty of pride.

District of North Vancouver Fire & Rescue Services Wish you all a wonderful Canada Day

Post-election: it pays to be messy It’s buried under papers, reports, mailings and more than a few candy bar wrappers. Apart from those wrappers it really isn’t my fault. I received stacks of material from all the political parties prior to the recent federal election and my desk seemed like the best place to put them. I started a pile for each party and the pile from the New Democrats came close to touching the ceiling. Well, okay, that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but the New Democrats do have the most ambitious platform of any of the major parties. If only it was that simple. “The problem with socialism,” said Margaret Thatcher, “is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.” The pile from the Liberals and Conservatives together was about the size of a telephone book. Last week I went to the library and did a little research on decluttering. Judging from the collection of books they have on the subject I’m not the only one with a problem. I’d misplaced my library card about a year ago so I thumbed through a couple of books and the message about dealing with clutter was clear: be ruthless and be brave.

what’s going on for seniors From page 38 604-987-5820. Pottery: Thursdays, 1-3 p.m. at Silver Harbour Centre, 144 East 22nd St., North Vancouver. Fee: $15 per season. For more information, phone 604980-2474 or visit www.silverharbourcentre.com.

I returned to my ofﬁce, took a deep breath and put the election material from the NDP into a recycle bin, well four bins actually, and then I made friends with the shredder. It’s all gone. The pile from the Liberals is gone too. I wanted to save it, but coincidentally, my ﬁling cabinets are full. It’s not a loss really. Promises made during an election by the opposition parties aren’t worth the paper they’re written on. That of course brings us to the platform from the Conservatives. Let’s sum up the promises made to seniors by the government in the last election: tax relief for seniors; amendments to the Criminal Code to help protect seniors; double TFSA contribution limits; Pooled Retirement Pension Plans; end mandatory retirement in federally regulated sectors; Quilters’ Rendezvous: Bring your own projects to work on with fellow quilters, Wednesdays, noon-3 p.m. at Delbrook Community Centre, 600 West Queens Rd., North Vancouver. Drop-in fee: $3. Info: 604983-6362 or kshubert@myparkgate.com. Quilting: Tuesdays, 1-3 p.m. at Silver Harbour Centre, 144 East 22nd St., North Vancouver. For more information, phone 604-980-2474 or visit www.silverharbourcentre.com.

top up the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) for low-income seniors; increase doctors and nurses in rural communities; and implement a family caregiver tax credit. Now that’s a long list. In the budget released June 6, the government has acted on two of those promises. We have details on the family caregiver tax credit (a 15 per cent non-refundable credit on $2,000 of caregiverrelated expenses) and the government has moved to top up benefits for the GIS. Effective July 1, subject to parliamentary approval, the poorest single seniors will get an additional $600 in GIS and poor senior couples benefit to the tune of $840 between them. The proposals the Conservatives made during the election for the GIS were more modest than those of the two main opposition parties. During the campaign the Liberals promised to boost the GIS by $700 million and the NDP promised to increase the GIS to lift every senior out of poverty. Of course, I am relying on memory here because I no longer have their documents at my fingertips. There is one consolation. At the bottom of one of the piles I found my library card. I’m supposed to feel better after my decluttering experience, but I don’t. I really miss my

stuff. Not just a little bit, but a lot. Now that my borrowing privileges at the library have been restored I’m thinking about taking out a book on separation anxiety.

SENIORS

Star crowned at NV talent competition NORTH Vancouver resident Joy Ann Tucker took ﬁrst place at Chartwell Senior Star’s North Shore competition, presented by Churchill House Retirement Community, June 16 at Presentation House Theatre.

Ryszard Wrzaskala, of Port Moody, was named ﬁrst runner-up, followed by Harold Olaussen, of Vancouver, in third place. According to a written statement, Senior Star is Canada’s largest talent competition dedicated to seniors. The competition was judged by District of North Vancouver Mayor Richard Walton, North Shore Outlook’s Catherine Barr and North Shore Neighbourhood House’s Tricia Andrew. The winners were presented with a Senior Star trophy and the top two winners will advance for consideration for Chartwell’s Senior Star National Final. Videos of the ﬁrst and second place winners from across Canada will be considered by a celebrity panel of judges, including Dan Clancy, Tim Louis and Gordie Tapp, who will narrow the list to 10 competitors. Those individuals will be invited to compete in the Senior Star National Final, held Nov. 21 in Niagara Falls, Ont.

candidly upbeat release, “has traced an enological arc from the sweet bubble of the 1960s, pseudo-European blends of the 1970s, and hybrid grapes of the 1980s, to the refined and elegant terroir-driven wines of today.” No question, we should hail Andrew Peller for being among the first to recognize the Similkameen’s potential. And it’s hard to ignore the marketing success of the likes of Hochtaler and Baby Duck (of which Canadians consumed a staggering eight million bottles in 1973), still found on BCLS shelves. However, these products (and others) helped pave the way for Canada’s welldeserved reputation for making wines of dubious quality, with grapes from wherever and whenever, a rep only just now beginning to be buried, at least in part, by more recent history. The turning point in B.C. came in 2005, when Ontario-based Peller Estates purchased floundering Calona Wines and Cascadia Brands, and acquired Calona/Sandhill winemaker Howard Soon as part of the deal. Not only has Soon proved himself one of the most successful of B.C.’s new breed of winemakers, he’s also astute and well used to the challenges of working for a “major.” More to the point, he had pretty definite ideas as to what it would take to turn around Peller’s — at the time — less than stellar B.C. reputation. Soon turned to the youthful talent coming out of the country’s various wine programs, hiring, among others, Brock University star graduate Stephanie Leinemann as Peller Estates Okanagan winemaker. The results of their efforts were apparent even

within just a couple of years, although Soon is always quick to put his up-andcoming winemakers (also at Red Rooster and Calona) front and centre to give them the credit they deserve. Leinemann is a stickler for getting it right, especially in the vineyard. She first turned her attention to one of her favourite grapes, Riesling, and scored a major hit by winning a B.C. Lieutenant Governor’s Award for the Private Reserve ’08. You can still find it at BCLS ($15.99), and it’s developing nicely. The 2010 Private Reserve Dry Riesling, which brims with vibrant citrus and apple notes plus a touch of minerality, just scooped gold at Los Angeles, while the plush, mocha black fruittoned Private Reserve ’08 Cab Sauv (which contains 70 per cent Similkameen Rocky Ridge fruit) won an impressive double gold (best of category) at the 2011 All Canadian championships (BCLS $19.99). We’d happily tuck the gooseberry-citrus toned 2010 Family Reserve Sauv Blanc into our fridge as a respectable summer sipper (BCLS $12.99), and pick up a bottle of underrated Private Reserve Pinot Noir ’09 (well balanced, gently earthy with juicy acidity and easy tannins) to enjoy with barbecued salmon (BCLS $18.99). Soon and Leinemann stress that while their vineyard focus is increasingly on quality, as opposed to yields, their primary desire is still to deliver value for money, which is certainly the dominant theme of the current estate wines line-up. Here’s to the founder’s grandson, John Peller, for putting his trust firmly in Soon and Leinemann — in whose hands the foundation for the next 50 years looks pretty solid. www.hiredbelly.com Twitter: @hiredbelly

Queen City summer

REGINA: The Queen City is hosting a vast variety of events, festivals and attractions this summer sure to please visitors to Saskatchewan’s capital. “People come to Regina for experience and we’ve got such a nice variety of experiences in Regina for people to be part of,” said Larry Hiles, president and CEO of the Regina Regional Opportunities Commission (RROC). The city’s summer calendar is jam-packed with annual events that encompass everything from arts fairs to agricultural showcases. Many of these, such as the Cathedral Village Arts Festival in May, the Western Canada Farm Progress Show in June and the Queen City Ex in August, have garnered widespread reputations as must-see events, drawing thousands of visitors to the city each year. Mosaic, a multicultural festival held in June, is another summer favourite and one of the best cultural fanfares in the province. “Over 25 cultural associations will be putting up their booths again in a celebration of the multicultural community that we’ve got here,” said Hiles. “That’s becoming more and more important because we are seeing a rapidly growing population in Regina and most of that growth is coming from immigration from other countries. The number of people from different cultures in our community is growing.”

Concerts and live music events are also a frequent phenomenon in Regina during the summer months, with several big names set to perform in the city this year including Katy Perry, Elton John, Keith Urban and Kid Rock. KD Lang will headline the 2011 Regina Folk Festival, held Aug. 5 to 7, while a solid line up featuring Johnny Reid, Rascal Flatts, Sugarland and Lonestar is sure to pack the grounds at the nearby Craven Country Jamboree in mid-July. Hiles expects Regina will continue to grow its status as an attractive entertainment venue. “This started a few years ago when the economic climate in the U.S. started to get tight. A lot of the names we would never see here all of a sudden started to look for new markets. Saskatchewan became one of those that actually became quite vibrant for them,” he said. The Regina Symphony Orchestra will hold its annual open-air “Symphony Under the Sky” concert in Wascana Park. The park will also serve as the site of one of Regina’s hottest music festivals — the SaskTel Summer Invasion. Held July 8-10, this event combines live music with extreme sports, such as wakeboarding, skateboarding and freestyle motocross, to create one of the best party atmospheres of the year. As the home of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Regina is used to celebrating alongside thousands of the best sports fans in Canada, but Hiles reminds sports enthusiasts that the Riders aren’t the only team worth watching in the city. Regina is also home to the Regina Rams and Regina Thunder football teams, See Regina page 44

Regina the perfect base to explore prairie province the Cougar Athletics men’s and women’s sports teams and the Regina Red Sox baseball team, which made a run to their league ﬁnals in 2010, to name a few. Regina is also one of 18 Canadian locations to host an annual street hockey tournament, known as “Play On,” sponsored by Hockey Night in Canada. The city also boasts a number of well-known permanent attractions, many of which have their own offering of special summer events. Visitors can watch a 3D movie at the Saskatchewan Science Centre’s Kramer IMAX Theatre, experience the latest visual art instalment at the Mackenzie Art Gallery or explore a unique aspect of the province’s past by taking a tour through Government House and the J.E.N. Wiebe Interpretive Centre. In fact, Government House is celebrating its 120th anniversary this year. Another unique glimpse into the province’s history can be witnessed at the RCMP’s Sunset-RetreatCeremony,held Tuesday evenings throughout the summer. Hiles said the ceremony, which includes a performance by the cadet marching band, a canon drill and cavalry drills, “hearkens back to the type of thing you would have seen 120 years ago from the RCMP.” In addition to these major attractions, Regina boasts a number of other tourist gems, including several art galleries, specialty shops and museums. Plus, Regina’s central location within a one-hour drive of six different lakes makes it ideal for visitors and residents who want to spend a hot summer day swimming, ﬁshing or playing at the beach, or for area campers who want to enjoy an afternoon in the city. “It’s a busy summer and there’s quite a variety to it. Nobody is going to be attracted to every one of those

things, but there will certainly be something for everybody,” said Hiles. With so much to offer, it’s not surprising that tourism to the city has been growing steadily over the last few years. Hiles said this is great news for residents because it contributes to the vibrancy of the community. “It’s a huge economic generator and it draws external attention to our community. It also helps to build on the great quality of life found in our region.” Hiles said RROC recently launched a new tourism campaign to capitalize on this trend and draw further attention to the city’s many assets. They have also begun to revise Regina’s visitor services strategy to a much more interactive, user-friendly model. The new strategy will entail closing the former visitor

services centre on the east end of the city and establishing several kiosks throughout the downtown area. RROC is also focusing on using social media to spread the word, and has established a presence on popular sites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Hiles said the new approach is much more proactive. “We’re trying to get out, we’re trying to interact far more with people, we’re trying to get in front of them before they even think about leaving home.” Anyone interested in learning more about what Regina has to offer this summer can ﬁnd detailed information on RROC’s event calendar at www.reginaroc.com. No matter where their tastes lie, Hiles is positive visitors will be pleasantly surprised by what they ﬁnd in the Queen City

Getting the lowdown on your canine

HAVE you ever wondered what makes your dog tick or why he or she behaves in a certain way?

The BC SPCA is offering a unique new educational experience for dog guardians who want to understand their four-legged best friends better. The one-day session, entitled Dogs 101, is presented by clinical animal behaviourist Jill Taggart.

Cooper

Taggart holds a Master of Science degree in companion animal behaviour and a PhD in behavioural psychology. She is also a lecturer in animal behavior and provides one-onone counselling for pet guardians. “Our goal is to help people understand their dog’s needs and behaviours and to give dog guardians the tools to anticipate behavioural issues and to address them before they arise,” said Taggart in a release.

our relationship with our pets and how dogs “read” our own behavior towards them, and how to enhance your bond with your dog. “There is a lot of misinformation out there about what animals need, how they think and how to build a strong relationship with our pets,” said Taggart. “The ideas we’ll be presenting are based in the latest animal behavioural science, but our goal is to present information in

“We’ll also explore how our own behaviour impacts our pets and what we communicate to our dogs — either intentionally or unintentionally — through our own actions and signals.” Dogs 101 will include an overview of how dogs evolved, their natural instincts and breed-speciﬁc behavior, how dogs communicate with one another, how dogs learn; how to address speciﬁc behavioural issues,

a way that is fun and practical for participants.” She noted that the sessions are not pet-interactive and participants should not bring their dogs to the program. The one-day session runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is open to participants aged 15 years and older. Registration is $90 and includes handouts. Participants must register online in advance of the program. Dogs 101 will be offered on the North Shore on Saturday, July 2 at the BC SPCA West Vancouver Shelter, 1020 Marine Drive, West Vancouver.

FITZMARTYN James Gervase (Gerry) Peter Born in Calgary on November 16, 1944 and passed away in his home in Lynn Valley on June 18th, 2011 from heart failure induced by pneumonia. Gerry is survived by his wife and best friend, June and their two dogs, Kyla and Zena, and two cats, CC and Shadow, June’s sisters Jackie (Fred) McLeod and Anne Van Balkom, as well as many relatives and friends. Gerry and his parents, Winnie and Gervy, moved to North Vancouver from Calgary in 1958, where Gerry attended St. Edmunds Elementary, St Thomas Aquinas Secondary and North Vancouver High School. He did a short stint in the RCAF before returning to complete Grade 12. He then joined the Freight Claims department at CP Rail, where he worked for 31 years. In 1968, he married June (Van Balkom) and they remained married for 43 years. He left CPR and worked with his wife June in her accounting practice, being a welcome distraction to worried customers bringing in their income tax returns. In 1972, they bought their home in Lynn Valley, which they still have. In 1986 they acquired a waterfront cabin on Gambier Island, where they spent many happy summers. After a few scary boat trips, in 1999 they decided they wanted to find a second home that was easier to get to, and purchased a home in Madeira Park on the Sunshine Coast. They were able to use that home all year round and drive right to the door - which was much easier on their animals, Junes mother and others who had found the boat trip to Gambier onerous, including June and Gerry who did not really miss carting all their stuff up the steep ramp at the dock, then up the hill to the cabin. A Celebration of Life will be held at The Holiday Inn, 700 Old Lillooet Road, North Vancouver on Monday June 27th between 3:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. This is to enable any who would have to catch an early ferry to get back to Gambier or the Sunshine Coast, but allow those who wish to attend after work to do so. Please join us. In lieu of flowers, donations to Wildlife or Animal related charities of your choice or the Lions Gate Hospital Foundation would be appreciated.

In Memoriam

Joanna Walton

August 16, 1933 – June 28, 2008 We wish that there could have been more time to spend with you. Yet we are grateful for the time we did have with you and those memories are with us forever. You are deeply missed by your many friends your son Ralph and Grandson Daniel Wilton. We are reminded of you especially when ever we see a beautifully and lovingly tended garden. We also hope that you are where you wanted to be and that it is all you perceived it would be.

COKER, Bruce Ritchie Passed away peacefully June 17th, after a short stay in St. Paul’s Intensive and Palliative Care units and years of defying the medical odds - having lived a rich and vital life despite dealing with a progressively debilitating lung disease. Born in Toronto, Ontario in 1936, Bruce is survived by his loving friend and wife of 49 years Patricia Coker; their eldest son Jimmy Coker, his wife Jean and their three children Makena, Sawyer, and Saxon; their younger son Jeffrey Coker, his wife Brenda and their three children Ryder, Nash and Tate; his sister Marlene, and brothers Alan and Byron Coker and their families. Bruce was blessed to be able to spend the last 35 years of his life pursuing his passion for building pine furniture and collecting and restoring Canadian heritage antiques. Bruce’s two sons Jimmy and Jeffery Coker share their father’s love of building and finishing fine furniture - learning their craft at their father’s side in the family business “Old Tyme Builder’s Gallery” - before launching their own successful woodworking and furniture design and building businesses. Bruce will be remembered by all for his easy-going nature, lack of pretense and willingness to accept, without judgment, everyone who passed through his life. The lives of his family and many friends are richer for having known Bruce. Like the antiques he so loved, he left a priceless legacy for those who were fortunate enough to know him. A memorial service to celebrate Bruce’s life will be held on Thursday, June 30th at 2:00 pm at First Memorial Funeral Services, Boal Chapel in North Vancouver. In lieu flowers or of other expressions of sympathy, donations can be sent to the British Columbia Lung Association. The Coker family wish to express their sincere thanks to the medical professionals who have contributed to Bruce’s extraordinary story of survival over the years, and to the doctors and nurses at St. Paul’s hospital who provided such compassionate care during the last days of Bruce’s life.

Mulberry - Gordon Aumgill Nov. 18, 1933 – June 16, 2011 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father and grandfather, Gordon Mulberry. He will be missed by his wife Pearl, son Bruce (Cory), daughter Carole (Steve), grandsons Troy, Aron, Shaun and Jack, and brother John (Louise). Gord grew up in Vancouver, attending Magee High School and UBC. As a CGA, he worked many years at Standard Oil and finished his career with Revenue Canada. He was an enthusiastic golfer, skier and gardener prior to a tragic accident that left him with a serious head injury shortly after retirement.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: The weeks ahead feature property, family, security, gardening, retirement, and the establishment or strengthening of foundations (concrete and emotional/spiritual). You’ll say goodbye to some people or situations, and greet new ones. Snip off wilted vines. Chase money Monday/ Tuesday, but pay attention to major developments: 1) the change in your life and goals causes a change in your home and foundations; 2) this “home change” must face and deal with a change in status or career. Both are long-term, fill the decade ahead – many heartfelt wishes will come true before 2018! Taurus April 20-May 20: Short trips, paperwork, errands, calls, news and casual acquaintances fill the weeks ahead. It’s a busy but not important time. A new project could arise in these areas Thursday onward. Your energy and charisma hit a beautiful peak Sunday/Monday – both days feature a critical development, one which will mold your character going forward. Not in a “war” or conflict way, but in a wisdom way. Chase money Tuesday/Wednesday – but reasonably. Information comes Thursday to Saturday – avoid taking risks in property, legal, and employment zones. Avoid gossip all week; think first. Gemini May 21-June 20: Chase money, seek new clients, buy/sell, and deal with all money matters for the few weeks ahead. Your overall financial, investment, net worth situation is changing – has been changing since 2008, and will continue to do so until 2023. This can be a good thing or a bad thing. Hints of this (and perhaps of tension between your social needs and your money desires) appear Sunday/Monday. Now through August 2012, don’t make the wrong financial decision based on anger, selfishness, over-independence, or a “fed up” feeling. Your energy, charisma surge mid-week – start good things!

Cancer June 21-July 22: Your energy, effectiveness, magnetism, and optimism rise for the weeks ahead.You’re on a winning track! That is, if you don’t get knocked off it Sunday/Monday by insisting too strongly on your own way. Be flexible, discern others’ desires. Your popularity rises the rest of this year, and this Monday it could bring you love! Wish, hope, see opportunities, not oppositions. Retreat for a rest and some deep thinking Tuesday/Wednesday – good plans can hatch, and civil servants favour you. Your energy, clout rise Thursday-Saturday: but a domestic or realty problem needs solving. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Take life easy, roll with the punches this week and the next few.Lie low,rest,plan, meditate, deal with shut-ins, fulfill old obligations, be charitable and spiritual, especially Thursday to Saturday. Study career, employment, government and head-office situations Sunday/Monday – think about the changes these areas face now to 2023. Your health faces changes too: a chronic condition disappears. The decade ahead brings digestive concerns, so eat sensibly. Vegetables cure ills. Your hopes rise Tuesday/Wednesday: enjoy a pleasant interval. Saturday night brings “potent glances.” Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Hopes and wishes come true over the weeks ahead. Your optimism grows, your popularity rises. Expect flirtation, light romance, entertainment, social delights! Issue and accept invitations. Wisdom, understanding visit Sunday/Monday. You could see friends struggle, or gravitate toward one another. Be ambitious Tuesday/ Wednesday – you can make headway, all is smooth, especially in money areas related to career. Your hopes and happiness rise Thursday to Saturday, but impediments arise to money, earnings, sensuality and romance – practical impediments. Smile, bide your time.

June 26 - July 2, 2011

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: The cosmos nudges you toward career, business, ambition and prestige situations for the next few weeks (especially late this week). Simultaneously, a deeper, perhaps unconscious force pulls you toward domesticity, security, foundations. You could experience this as a try-versus-quit tug-o-war. It’s there strongly Sunday/ Monday. Best approach: make changes to your career (etc.) goals in order to conform to new realities. The year ahead favours major life changes, and these could also touch a lucky wand to your investments and/or intimate life. For success: talk, be curious! Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: This is a gentle, sweet time of understanding and wisdom. You might meet a love who could become a life mate – though this is more favoured after July 2, as practical impediments lurk all this week (e.g., that handsome guy is a single father with 10 loud kids.) But in the big picture, you’re finally on true love’s road – though your destination could appear in any one of the fifteen years ahead. The 12 months ahead bring lucky relationships and splendid money opportunities. Love’s choice arises Tuesday. Finances, sexual urges are easy midweek, but might be subtle traps. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Mysteries, secrets, changes and commitments fill the weeks ahead, especially this Thursday-Saturday – though so many practical barriers and traps arise this week that you should wait until next week to act. (Especially to invest, change lifestyle, seek a health diagnosis, undergo surgery, seek sexual intimacy, or make any kind of important commitment or new start.) Sunday/Monday are for chores – practice safety, and eat/dress sensibly. Relationships are smooth and benign Tuesday/Wednesday – still, be wary of committing yourself (and of offered advice). Joy, Saturday late!

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Relationships are paramount during this irritating week. Be diplomatic. Bosses and VIPs seem un-amused, and practical matters run into soft, subtle but strong impediments. Opportunities will come, but the good ones arrive after July 2, not before. Sunday/Monday are romantic – you could meet someone who finds you mysteriously attractive. This could grow to “deep heights.” Tackle chores Tuesday/Wednesday, but don’t take on so much it will interfere with other activities. You’re meant to find love and pleasure this year: to deny it would be a loss. Go slow Thursday to Saturday. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The month ahead holds chores, health and nutrition concerns, and nudges you to attend to kids and pets. It’s a good time to seek employment – after this week. Though Sunday/ Monday might contain stress (Sunday) and a feeling of alienation (Monday) these days also highlight home, recuperation, Gaia, property – all imbued with good/ great fortune over the months ahead. A nice romantic breeze is wafting its way through your life June/July, and you should feel its light touch Tuesday/Wednesday. Handle chores, but avoid romance, machinery purchases, dull people, Thursday-Saturday. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: The accent lies on romance, pleasure, beauty, creative surges, speculation, risks and self-expression, now through late July (and especially this Thursday-Saturday). This week’s a little dicey, though, filled with practical barriers, so a bit of waiting or hesitation isn’t unwise. Sunday/Monday indelibly link your romantic and social sides, or cause a tug-o-war between the two. A friend might become a lover (or hints thereof) – or you might have to choose between the two. Domestic matters flow smoothly Tuesday/Wednesday, but might not be beneficial long-term. Talk aids career. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
