CHUNG CHOW/RICHMOND NEWS

Farmer Bill Zylmans talks to Richmond RCMP’s Sgt. Cam Kowalski on the potato field where thievesripped out Zylmans’ crop, resulting in a loss of more than $5,000 in theft and damages.

Potato skinning unprecedented

Bill Zylmans’ family has beenfarming in Richmond since 1948and he’s never seen a crop theftof this magnitude before.

“It’s the worst I’ve seen it,”said Zylmans, who recently dis-covered several patches of pota-toes had been uprooted in someof the fields he farms.

“This is really serious. Wearen’t talking small potatoes,excuse the pun.”

Between three to five thou-sand potatoes have been stolen,resulting in more than $5,000 intheft and damage.

“This is over the top, I’ve hadthefts before, but this is some-thing that needs more than a slapon the wrist,” added the farmer.

Zylmans went on to say it’sone thing to have people pil-fer some blueberries or steal apumpkin or two at Halloween,but quite another to damagefields and steal thousands ofpounds worth of potatoes.

Zylmans has also heard fromother farmers who have reportedincidents of crop theft and van-dalism.

The seasoned farmer has amessage for the public: “Respectfarmers.”

“We need to nip this in thebud and let the public know thatthis is extremely serious,” headded. “If [theft] gets worse, we,as farmers, will be hooped.”

In an email, Mayor MalcolmBrodie stated his anger at thetheft.

“Crop theft is a disturb-ing offence,” said Brodie. “It’simportant to our economy,heritage, environment and foodsecurity to have a viable localfarming sector.

“There are given challengesto farming in an urban environ-ment, and so the public’s supportin being good neighbours playsa large role in ensuring farmingcan remain viable in Richmond.”

Richmond RCMP Sgt. CamKowalski has also never seen anagricultural theft of this scale

before in his career.“We get the occasional bout

of blueberry and pumpkinthefts but a theft of this scale— never,” said Kowalski.

Moreover, this isn’t an easycase to solve.

“In Richmond, there is a hugeagricultural component and soit’s not like there’s a lot of traf-fic through the fields,” addedKowalski.

The Richmond RCMP hasnow stepped up its patrol inagricultural areas in hopes ofcatching the thief or thievesresponsible and to put a stop toany further thefts.

“We have police officers onfoot and on ATV who will patrolthe fields day and night,” saidKowalski. “Really, who picks onfarmers … it’s shameless.”

If anyone has informationregarding these thefts, they areasked to call the RichmondRCMP at 604-278-1212 or callCrimestoppers anonymously at1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Richmond ProvincialCourt fined a Vancouverresident for possessing fiveunlawfully imported Rolexwatches.

Yan Tao Zhao was return-ing from China last Octoberwhen she declared $500worth of clothing to customs.Upon further investigation,customs officers found fourempty Rolex boxes and even-tually the four watches plusone on her wrist.

“We follow a risk man-agement approach,” saidCanada Border ServicesAgency (CBSA) spokes-person Stefanie Wudel, inresponse to why Zhao wassearched in the first place.“We have trained officials ininvestigation and monitoringtechniques.”

Officers seized the watch-es, valued at $50,185.95 intotal, and Zhao has beenfined $5,000 for failing todeclare goods upon arrival,under Section 155 of theCustoms Act. If she wishesto get the watches back, shehas to pay an additional pen-alty of more than $15,000.

“If she had declared thewatches in the first place,she would have only had topay $8,955.65 in duties andtaxes,” said Wudel. “Now shehas to pay over $20,000 inthe fine and the penalty.”

Wudel urges people todeclare all their purchases.

Since July 31, CBSA hasseized 171 items of jewelryor watches, worth a total of$1,738,239.

Teachers hope for open dialogueRTA president Al Klassen still doubts minister’s sincerity

As Richmond’s students and teachers headback to school next week, they can expect aneasier year than last with increased labour cer-tainty, according to Richmond school districtchair Donna Sargent.

“There does need to be work done on the partof the province for open communication withthe teachers,” said Sargent. “In Richmond, we’rea good example of how we work hard with ourteachers. They are extremely important to us. Weneed to have a strong respect for them and anopen dialogue.”

B.C. Education Minister George Abbott, whoannounced his resignation yesterday, said he’shoping for better relations with the province’s40,000 public school teachers after the temporarycontract agreement in June at a conference callTuesday afternoon.

“I think I’m pretty confident it will be a goodschool year in terms of labour relations, but Idon’t think we can take anything for granted,” hesaid.

Sargent highlighted the importance of commu-nication between all parties involved, somethingRichmond Teachers Association (RTA) presidentAl Klassen is skeptical about.

“We’ve welcomed the initiatives in the past,and we’ve been hopeful about the government,but through negotiations of the past year, theteachers are not happy about the stance (Abbott)took on many of the issues,” said Klassen. “Hisactions belie his words.”

Klassen said most of the issues the teachershad last year have not been resolved in terms ofwages, class size and composition, leaving manyfrustrated. However, most Richmond teachersare at least relieved there is a contract in placeand are happy to return to work in September, headded.

“It’s going to be an interesting year, with someinteresting dynamics,” said Klassen. “It won’t be

normal because of the unresolved issues. Thereare still burrs under the saddle, so of speak, anduntil they’re removed, there won’t be a straight-forward, open discussion.

“But if (Abbott) is sincere, we would welcomethe opportunity to take part and improve the edu-cation system.”

Last September, the province’s teachersrefused to perform certain administrative dutiesin a dispute over wages, class sizes and classcomposition.

At the height of their job action, teacherswalked out of their classrooms for three days

before being forced back to work by governmentlegislation.

In June, members of the teachers’ federationvoted 75 per cent in favour of a new contractwith the province, although the turnout was lowand it will only last another year.

The new contracts gives teachers improvedbenefits and seniority provisions but no wageincrease. The current contract expires in June2013 and negotiations will begin next spring.

A Richmond company has received an F rat-ing by the B.C. Better Business Bureau (BBB)because of numerous complaints against it fornot delivering the product or refunding custom-ers.

Co-operation Garments Distributor Ltd.,owned by Kenny Cheuk, has accumulated 19complaints in the past three years, with ninefiled in the past 12 months, according to MarkFernandez of the BBB.

“We’ve had no response from the businessyet, which becomes a major concern for us,”said Fernandez. “We’ve attempted to phone andobtain background information, but nothingyet.”

Cheuk’s business sells corporately brandeduniforms, garments, or merchandise for compa-nies such as auto services.

The complaints to the BBB involve compa-nies who have ordered a particular product, andhave either given a deposit or paid in full, buthaven’t received neither their order nor a refund.

Eighteen of the 19 complaints are in regards

to delivery issues, with the remaining one abouta product problem, according to the BBB’s web-site.

“We had been working with him for a fewyears and never had any issues,” said RickGallicano, manager of Midtown Trucks. “Butthis particular order was placed in January.There had been no indication of a change inattitude then on his part, but I still haven’t got-ten my money back, or the order.”

Gallicano had ordered promotional itemsworth $1,000, and had paid the money up

front. When he didn’t receive the product, orhear from Cheuk, he bought additional itemselsewhere. He finally heard from Cheuk afew months later, who had been out of townand promised Gallicano a refund, which hasyet to be received.

Gallicano has placed about five ordersof the same amount with Co-operationGarments. In the past, he would pay 50 percent at first and then the balance upon receiptof the order. However, with the last order,Cheuk said he needed the money up frontbecause he would be away for a while.

“At the time, it didn’t strike me as odd, but

I guess it should have,” said Gallicano. “AndI know he’s still around because I’m still get-ting solicitation faxes, but I wouldn’t use himagain.”

Most of the companies who used Co-oper-ation Garments found out about the businessthrough its periodic fax blasts — advertise-ments using faxes, offering sales and dealson items.

The business’s location has since movedfrom No. 3 Road to Hammersmith Way,where it is renting from Outfit Apparel,according to Fernandez.

Cheuk did not respond to phone calls bydeadline.

Chef aims to stir upnew attitude to food

EDUCATION

Richmond chef Ian Lai has spent thelast few years digging in the dirt withelementary age children.

He couldn’t be happier.Lai is the founding director of the

Richmond Schoolyard Society, a nonprofitorganization that encourages elementaryschool children to get down and dirty, andlearn about growing food.

Six years ago, Lai began the society,then called the Terra Nova SchoolyardSociety, in order to bring children into the“outdoor classroom” where they connectwith the earth and their community.

“Our vision can be summed up in asimple equation: Kids + gardens + healthyfood = stronger communities,” added Lai.

As an instructor at the NorthwestCulinary Academy of Vancouver, Lai saidhe was frustrated by his students’ lackof knowledge about how the food cycleworks.

“So, I embarked on a quest to introducechildren to where their food comes from,”he said.

Lai began with a small plot of landdonated by the Sharing Farm and hisdaughter’s Grade 3/4 class at QuilchenaElementary.

Soon, the Schoolyard Project expandedfrom 30 students in one school to 120students in two schools and two commu-nity centres. By the third growing season,the project included two more elementary

schools and a First Nations youth program.Today, nearly 500 students participate in

the Schoolyard Project.Besides the classes at Terra Nova rural

Park, the society visits schools to set uptheir own outdoor gardens, which enablesthe school to create its own garden pro-gram.

However, as a farm-to-table proponent,Lai is determined to get even more chil-dren on board. He is planning on doublingthe number of participants this year.

To do that, the nonprofit organiza-tion has put together its first RichmondSchoolyard Society’s Golf Tournament andDinner at Greenacres Golf Course.

“We already have 80 golfers signed up,and we are hoping to have either 100 or120 golfers,” said Lai. “I hope we can raiseat least $25,000 so we can work with manymore children.”

The fundraiser happens on Thursday,Sept. 6 beginning at 1 p.m., with dinnerfeaturing the bounty from the society’s owngardens, as well as a live auction with BillChalmers and many prizes.

“Bill mentored Anthony Robbins (celeb-rity American self-help guru and motiva-tional speaker),” added Lai.

Registration begins at 11 a.m., followedby a 1 p.m. shotgun start and dinner at6:30 p.m.

For tickets ($125/player which includesdinner or dinner only for $75/person) or formore information, call Peter Birks at 604-240-4840, or email [email protected] or online at www.kidsinthegarden.org.

We’ve welcomed Chinese immigrants,now let’s bring on the Chinese tourists, saidEd Gavsie, director of visitor and partnerservices at Tourism Richmond.

“If you look at the number of Chineseresidents here, and then at all the malls andrestaurants, Richmond is a prime location forvisitors.”

The Chinese government estimates thatby 2015, there will be 100 million outboundtravellers a year from China, and a recentstudy ranked Canada as the third favoureddestination among Chinese tourists.

Tourism Richmond aims to take its fairshare of that market. To help make that hap-pen, Tourism Richmond, in partnership withWorld Host Training Services, will host aworkshop for businesses dealing with thegrowing Chinese tourist market in Richmondthis September.

The three-hour session was developedas a result of Canada achieving ApprovedDestination Status (ADS) with China inDecember of 2009.

“When the announcement was made,we anticipated an influx of Chinese visitorsto B.C.,” said Yavhel Velazquez, managerof World Host Training Services. “And sofar we’ve been seeing that this has beenhappening since the status was achieved.So we want to prepare local businesses forthis market and decided to target the LowerMainland first.”

International arrivals from China toCanada were up 22.7 per cent this past June,from the same month last year, according tothe Canadian Tourism Commission.

This makes it easier for Chinese nationalsto visit Canada, and is of particular impor-tance to the Lower Mainland as it can beused as a gateway to the rest of the country.It also allows Canada to host group tours andmarket itself as a destination within China.

“There’s been a huge increase in theChinese tourism market in Richmond,” saidGavsie. The workshop is a response to ademand by local businesses hoping to bet-ter understand and connect with the Chineseculture. It’s open to businesses dealing withthe public such as hotels, retail outlets, and

other attractions, according to Gavsie.“Anyone who wants to know about the

importance of this market and to understandthis market can attend,” said Gavsie.

The workshop will be the first of its kind,providing an opportunity for participantsto gain awareness of the Chinese culture,understand the importance of the ADS,understand what visitors might expect fromB.C., and learn how to improve communica-tion skills.

“We also have a small module on lan-guage,” said Velazquez. “We’ll be teachingbasic greetings. It’s important for B.C. to

remain competitive within the country andone of our advantages is in hospitality.”

The material will be presented by a facili-tator and has been gathered through pilotpresentations and feedback from travellingbusinesspeople.

Velazquez admits it will be a learningprocess that will continue to adapt.

“It’s about respecting culture in gen-eral, avoiding stereotypes, learning howto observe body language, etc.,” saidVelazquez.

The workshop will take place on Sept. 19at Richmond City Hall from 9 a.m. to 12:30p.m. and will cost $65 (plus tax) per person.

EDITORIAL OPINION

No one likes a double-dip.That applies to the chip bowl, an economic

recession and municipal coffers. And yet that’swhat we see happening when local governments acceptthe retirement of long-standing employees, start printingtheir pension cheques and then immediately put these samepeople back on the payroll to help train their successors.

It’s fine if someone wants to take their retirement andcontinue putting their lifetime of skills and expertise towork, and there’s no question that we want outgoing civilservants to pass on their hard-earned knowledge for thebetterment of the municipality.

But this should be something they are paid to do aspart of the job, not a service they sell back to their formeremployer and the taxpayer. This is money that could besaved or better spent elsewhere.

Let’s not forget that this is against the spirit of what pen-sions are meant to do. Rather than provide for a dignifiedstandard of living in retirement, pensions, in these instanc-es, are being used to pad the income of people still activein the workforce.

This amounts to an expensive golden handshake at atime when top-heavy public pension systems are at risk ofbuckling and local governments face unending calls for fis-cal restraint.

Our local governments are now facing a glut of seniormanagers reaching retirement age in the coming years, andthere’s nothing in the rules against this practice. It’s timefor bureaucrats and councils to start succession planningnow.

Let’s stop the double-dipping.

A lot of spiders out this year, huh?

Monday, Aug. 20: I camehome from work to find agood-sized wolf spiderscuttling across the livingroom floor. He must havebeen an inch and a halfacross. I swear, these hairy-legged monsters are gettingbigger every year.

I squished him under apaper towel as he was tryingto hide under the couch.

I wonder if there are anymore down there? Mentalnote: move couch, sweepunderneath.

Thursday, Aug. 23:Another big spider in livingroom. This one was biggerthan Monday’s! He hidunder the TV for a while,but came out, no doubtlooking for tasty crickets toeat, and found the heel ofmy shoe, instead.

Why are all these spiderssneaking into the housethis year? Is it the weather?What do they think they canfind to eat in here?

Sunday, Aug. 26: Biggestspider so far, nearly threeinches across, if youstretched out his hairy legs.

Squished him with anapkin. I could almostswear he made a little noisewhen he died. Not thecrunchy noise they allmake, but a sort of squeek.

Like a little scream.Friday, Aug. 31: Almost

called Animal Controltoday. I trapped this one inan empty peanut butter jar.I thought for a minute thatthe kids next door had lettheir pet tarantula loosewhen I saw it, just sitting onthe couch.

It’s at least five inchesacross. How does a wolfspider get this big?It’s definitely making somekind of noise in the jar. Asort of screeching,cooing noise.

I’ve decided not to pokeair holes in the lid.

Wednesday, Sept. 5: Ifinally moved the couch,and along with the dustbunnies, I found a crackbetween the wall and thefloorboards. And anotherone was squeezing through.I beat it to death with a clawhammer.

I think it swore ven-geance on me as it died.That must be my imagina-tion, right?

Friday, Sept. 14: In thelast week, I’ve killed ninemore intruder spiders(I suspect they’re scouts),despite sealing up everycrack and crevice. Iglanced out the windowyesterday and spotted afoot-long one jiggling thedoorknob with its pedipalps.It was smoking a Marlboro.

Saturday, Sept. 15: Theyaren’t smart enough to avoidbear traps. Take that,arachnids!

Sunday, Sept. 16: Theyare now smart enough toavoid bear traps, and also toreset them. I need to buymore gauze at the drug

store.Wed., Sept. 19: The local

garden spiders are now ontheir side as well. Iopened my door to find aweb reading “Your (sic)dead, buddy”.

They need towork on their spelling. Forsome reason, I now have acraving for bacon.

Friday, Sept. 21: Two ofthem tried to get in by pre-tending to be Mormonmissionaries. It wasn’t veryconvincing. Real missionar-ies are nice and polite, anddon’t lunge at you, encircleyou in bristle-coated limbs,and attempt to sink theirchelicerae into your neck.

Also, they wear ties withthose white shirts.

Date unknown: I may nothave much more time. Myflamethrower’s fuel isalmost exhausted. Thespiders have taken theVenezuelan oil fields, andlooted Fort Knox. I move byday, but any of my fellowrefugees could be aspider in disguise. I saw aman strung up for winningat poker with a pairof eights.

The spiders conductsweeps by night, wrappinghumans in silk and spiritingthem away to their hiddenlairs. They are growingstronger, and larger, andtheir new political party hasjust formed a minority gov-ernment.

I fear that this could havebeen prevented. If only I’dswept under thecouch sooner!

Matthew Claxton writesfor the Langley Advance.

The Editor,Re: “SPCA barking up wrong tree,” Letters, Aug. 24.In response to Geoff Cooper’s letter about adopting from the

SPCA, we’d like to assure him that, with 32,000 homeless ani-mals coming into our care every year, we work tirelessly to findresponsible, loving homes for each and every one of them anddo not deny adoptions for “trivial reasons”, as he states.

It would appear from his letter that Mr. Cooper is confusingthe BC SPCA Education & Adoption Centre in Richmond withthe Richmond Animal Protection Society on No. 5 Road, as wedo not claim to have 900 kittens in our care at our Richmondfacility. However, both organizations work diligently to care forunwanted and homeless animals in the community and we bothmake every effort to match these animals with loving homes.

With respect to protecting the kittens from over-handling, itis common practice in animal shelters across North America tobring animals and potential adopters together when a seriousadoption is being considered, rather than allowing open access tohandling of the animals.

This has resulted in a significant drop in illness and spreadof disease within shelters and takes place to ensure animals arehappy and healthy for adoption. To the thousands of adopterswho have provided loving homes for animals in Richmond, wesay a heartfelt thank you and we hope others seeking to bringa new pet into their family will remember the many beautifulanimals at the SPCA, RAPS and other Richmond rescue groupsawaiting their “forever home.”

PAINFUL TRUTH

MatthewClaxton


LettersRid world of animal cruelty

I was born in China andraised in Hong Kong in atraditional Chinese familyuntil age 20, before coming toCanada to pursue a degree atUBC.

Unlike some traditionaldiehards, I have broadened myhorizons since then, as anyoverseas Chinese should, but have not lostany of my eastern roots.

Restaurateur, David Chung, said, “Sharkfin soup is a tradition that we don’t want tobreak. It’s something we treasure.”

Speak for yourself, Mr. Chung. Themajority of the Chinese people beg to dif-fer. A recent San Francisco poll shows 70per cent of Chinese San Franciscans supporttheir standing ban. Using elephant ivory, tigerbone, bear bile and rhino horn also used to bepart of the Chinese tradition. But we under-stand that’s no longer acceptable.

Chung casually dismisses the cruelty offinners, cutting the fins off live sharks anddumping them back into the ocean to dieslow and agonizing deaths.

He adds, “Chinese people have becomepart of the food chain, keeping shark popula-tions in check,” saying that if there are fewersharks, there would be more fish for humans.

This two-tier system is simplistic in theextreme. There are not two, but six or seventrophic levels of predators and prey in theocean. I’ll simplify it to just three levels: bigfish (sharks), medium fish and small fish.

Sharks prey on the medium fish only,which in turn prey on the small fish. If wewipe out the sharks, the medium fish wouldproliferate and eat up the small fish, causingthe marine food pyramid to collapse.

Chung chides city council for focusingon such a “small issue.” Driving endangeredspecies to extinction and trashing our fragileplanet is a small issue only to the ignorantand apathetic.

A full one third of all shark species areendangered or threatened.

As for Richmond Councillor Chak Au,he said “education,” instead of a ban, hasalready reduced consumption to insignifi-cance, so there is no need for a ban. However,he also said, “A ban could prompt retailers toseek compensation for lost revenue.”

Most of the municipalitiesin the Lower Mainland haveeither banned shark fins orhave expressed intention andinterest to ban.

Richmond would lookmedieval if it ends up beingthe only municipality to con-tinue selling and serving shark

fins. All existing laws are against the finningand trading of endangered shark species.The Convention on International Trade ofEndangered Species (CITES) forbids interna-tional trade of endangered species products.The United Nations forbids shark finning,period.

Canada’s own WAPPRIITA law forbidstrading endangered species within Canada,and the Canadian Fisheries Act forbids shark-finning in Canadian waters.

Without being able to identify which finsare from endangered species, a city whichallows the shark fin trade is in possible viola-tion of these laws.

There are those who, along with Au,advocate education and a gentler approach.They argue that if we do impose a ban, weshould use positive reinforcement rather thanpunishment. The bylaw should reward thosemerchants who abide, and leave those whodon’t alone. Where in the world do you find alaw that works like that?

Regardless, we can’t wait for voluntarywithdrawal. Seventy-three million sharks diehorrible deaths every year. With each sharkgiving birth to only one or two pups everycouple of years, the sharks can’t wait thatlong.

Of course the ban-opposers play the racecard, citing “discrimination” against theChinese. But as a Chinese-Canadian, I saythis: First, it is the likes of Chung who makethe Chinese look selfish and ignorant.

Second, and more importantly, if we con-tinue the mass slaughter of sharks for theirfins, driving some of them to extinction,the Chinese reputation will be mud until theend of time, because extinction is forever. Itis those people who will ultimately commitracial discrimination against themselves.

The Editor,Part of my retirement planning includ-

ed the possibilities of volunteering withthe SPCA or Wildlife Rescue. However, Icame to realize that the rage I feel aboutthe cowardly and sadistically cruel wayin which some of my fellow humans treatdefenseless animals is something I wouldbe unable to let go of later at home.

Stories such as those about the cat tor-turer and the abandoned kitten in the car-rier in your Aug. 29 issue, and the aban-doned litter left in a cooler profiled inanother publication, stay with me for daysand I spend much time wishing there wassome way we could rid ourselves of thosewho see nothing wrong about the act of

abusing animals — or, even worse, getsome sort of perverted satisfaction fromdoing so.

The only things that give me any com-fort in relation to such circumstances isthat everyone I personally know lovesanimals. There are a great number ofpeople who are willing to go the extramile to try and compensate in some wayfor such cruelty.

Kudos to those who possess the humancapacities for empathy and kindness andstep in when needed, and curses to thosewho lack such attributes and run awayfrom the consequences of their actions.

The Editor,For years now I have

been photographing andwondering about TerraNova and have seen all thechanges that have occurredover the years, some goodand some not.

Today I ventured downto Terra Nova Park to pho-tograph nature and waswondering what was goingon at the park (constructionwise).

I couldn’t find the infor-mation under the city’s web-site, so I called the parksbranch and was informedthat we are now going tohave a play area, whichincludes a zipline, maze anda tree climbing area.

In the spring, I wouldphotograph hummingbirdsfeeding on the blossomsof the blackberry bushes,apple blossoms and eatinginsects to feed their young.

With the cutback of thesebushes and the increase ofhuman’s pursuits, we willsee less of these amazingbirds.

Over the years, I havewatched the undergrowthdisappear and along withthat went the birdlife. Thepond area is the only placeto find birdlife and manyspecies have departed fromthis area.

I hope the city will havea crew to pick-up the gar-bage that will be left behindon a daily basis. And whatabout safety? The play-ground will be situated nextto a pond. Given that someof the children will not beattended, this could be ahazard.

Also does the city haveit in their budget to providesecurity and daily clean-upas well as new bins aroundthe play area?

Another issue is bath-rooms. The ones theyhave now will not be ableto handle the increase inpublic use. The area nowis well used, but with theplay area those who venturedown there now will have tofind another place to enjoynature and peacefulness.

We are not going green,we are going city.

Many people comedown for exercise andrelaxation but I can see thisarea becoming a city parkand not a nature park. As Ilooked at the constructionarea I see the possibility oftrees being cut down for themaze.

The trees that are thereshould stay, as I noticed amonth ago that the greatblue herons were comingback and resting in the tree,but with the constructionin the works they have leftonce again.

What is in the makingfor the increase of trafficand parking at Terra Nova?The area is a migratorybird area and should not bedisturbed. I think the cityshould be looking at GarryPoint Park for this type ofdevelopment. The parkinglot is there and it has openareas for ziplining and thecreation of a maze on thegrounds of Garry Point, andnothing would be disturbedin this area.

I really enjoy my dailywalk around Terra NovaPark, but I will have to findanother area to enjoy in thenear future if this type ofplanning continues.

I have attached a fewpictures that I took thismorning while down atTerra Nova Park; I knowyou and your readers willenjoy them.

Nature walks and educa-tional school outings shouldbe in the making for thistype of area.

There is so much outthere to search for in life,and when you find it, a verygood feeling comes overyou — nature is wonder-ful. The story behind theCopper’s Hawk overhead isamazing, this juvenile letme take pictures of it as he/she sat in a tree and didn’tsee me as a threat but afterit heard the call from it’smother, it circled above metwice then left for the nest-ing area.

Interesting, wouldn’t yousay?

Title: The Mystery of theHidden House

Reviewed by: RaveenDissanayake, 7

This book is about a groupof five children called thefive findouters who solvea mystery about a gang ofthieves stealing cars and hid-ing them in a house hidden inthe woods.

I like this book because theauthor hides information until

the end of the book, so I felt curious. This made the bookvery exciting. I also like Fatty, the main character who wasvery clever at finding clues. The findouters were able to solvethe mystery before the village policeman Mr. Goon.

Title: The Sheep-PigReviewed by: Rina Kwok,

is won at a fair by farmerHogget. He is adopted by Fly,a kind-hearted sheep-dog.Babe is determined to learneverything he can from Fly.He knows he can’t be a sheepdog. But maybe, just maybe,he might be a sheep-pig.

I liked this book becausethis book has a few lessons you should learn in your lifetime;you can be what you are not meant for; I like this authorbecause he writes books just like Geronimo Stilton does.

Title: MimiReveiwed by: Sophia

Santa Ana, 8This book is about a girl

named Mimi whose motherdied, and how her life becamemiserable when her mom wasgone. There were also somegood things she liked aboutlife, and later on, everythingturned out fine.

I liked this book becauseit taught me to be happy with

what I have and to see the good in the bad or sad things thathappen. I also like the book because I couldn’t predict whatwas going to happen so that made me want to keep reading.

You might neverhave thought aboutthem. Their namesmight be totally unfa-miliar to you. But evenafter countless centu-ries, they’re still withus — the personalitiesof ancient Greek andRoman mythology.

Do you eat cereal for breakfast?Have you ever panicked? Are youjovial? Or perhaps saturnine? Haveyou ever heard an echo? Have you everconsulted an atlas? If you’ve answeredyes to any of these questions, thenyou’ve been in touch with the spirits(from the Latin “spirare,” to breathe)of the ancient world.

It’s really quite wonderful. Ancientmythology hasn’t crumbled away asdry as dust, nor has it been choked todeath between the covers of a book noone opens anymore. No, it has seizedthe next best thing to immortality byinfiltrating our language as words thatwe use regularly.

The ancient Greeks and Romanshad deities, nymphs, and satyrs toaccount for everything that hap-pened in nature and in their own lives.Annually on April 19, for instance, theRomans celebrated a festival — the

Cerealia — to beseechCeres, the grain god-dess, for a good harvest.Our word cereal hasa history that can betraced all the way backto the same deity.

Have you ever beengripped by fear, out ofthe blue, and inexplica-

bly? This disquieting sensation is asso-ciated with Pan, the Roman deity ofwild nature, whom the ancients imag-ined as a satyr with the horns, ears andlegs of a goat.

He roamed in the woods, and whendisturbed he’d turn violent and inflictnightmares and irrational terror onmortals. In other words, Pan wouldmake them panic.

Do you like to laugh? Are youcheerful? Ancient astrologers believedthat the planets — which were namedafter Roman deities — exerted a forceon humans, hence anyone born underthe influence of Jupiter (the god alsoknown as Jove) was destined to behappy — in short, jovial.

If your planet was Saturn, then,unfortunately, you could expect to becold and gloomy — in a word, satur-nine.

Next time you hear a sound bounce

back, think of Echo, the nymph whomthe goddess Hera punished by depriv-ing her of normal speech. She wasallowed only to repeat the words spo-ken by others.

Echo fell in love with Narcissus, abeautiful Greek youth, but unfortunate-ly Narcissus was already in love withhis own reflection (he was narcissistic).He ignored Echo, and in her grief shepined away, until all that was left washer voice.

Aeons ago the god Zeus condemnedthe titan Atlas to hold up the universewith his shoulders and hands, so thatthe sky wouldn’t fall.

In the 16th century, Mercator, aFlemish cartographer, published a bookof maps, and on the title page he repre-sented Atlas supporting the heavens.

Ever since then, the image of Atlashas been associated with maps, andthat’s the reason we call a book ofmaps an atlas.

This is but the merest sampling ofancient Greek and Roman personalitieswho’ve impinged on our lives. There’sno getting away from them. Think ofEros, Mars, Mercury, Flora, the Fates— and the list goes on and on.

Due to the overwhelming popularity of the all-day kinder-garten pilot project in 2010, the Richmond School Districtexpanded the program to include all elementary schools.

“Last year, the full-day kindergarten was implementedthroughout the district, including Montessori and FrenchImmersion classes,” said Nancy Brennan, assistant superinten-dent of the Richmond School District. “We feel that all-daykindergarten gives our students a great foundation for theiracademic life.”

The cost of funding the new kindergarten program didnot come at the expense of other school programs, addedBrennan. “When we went to all-day kindergarten, the federalgovernment provided full funding,” she said.

However, the school district was charged with having toequip and renovate some of the classrooms to accommodatethe new program. It cost the Richmond School District half amillion dollars over two years.

“We had to add kitchen centres in some of the olderschools and the funds also covered the cost to fully equipeach kindergarten classroom,” Brennan said. “However, noschool programs were cut because of this.”

She admitted the pilot project wasn’t without its challeng-es. Initially, when the program began in half of the district’selementary schools, some parents were concerned aboutwhat would happen with extra curricular activities. However,Brennan added many working parents felt “it was a godsend.”

“Parents were asking us, what about my child’s swimmingclasses or what about if my child gets tired,” she added. “Wefound at the end of the pilot project that the kids did great andparents found alternative times for their children’s extra-cur-ricular activities.”

Brennan said the district worked really hard to ensure theteachers were ready and prepared when the new programbegan throughout the school district in 2011.

“We had time to build in the program. We were very stra-tegic, we alternated lunch and play hour so that the kindergar-ten students weren’t overwhelmed with the older students.”

She said the positive effects far outweigh the negatives.“Teachers have more time to spend with the kids … two

and a half hours wasn’t long enough. The teachers can getinto much more in-depth teaching than they could with half-day kindergarten.”

British Columbia is creating new tradesand technology scholarships for highschool students in recognition that moreneeds to be done to address skill shortagesthat are expected to worsen, especially inbooming areas of the province.

During meetings earlier this month withB.C. school superintendents, EducationMinister George Abbott discussed baredetails of the plan to encourage high-schoolstudents to pursue careers in trades andtechnology.

Abbott, who resigned Thursday, toldschool superintendents at the time thatthe number of scholarships for academicstudents will be capped at 5,000 this year,while those offered in other areas willincrease to 5,500 from 3,000 to providemore balance. This year, that latter groupwill include two new categories: technicaland trades training and community service.

The Education Ministry confirmedthe plan, adding that the government alsointends to begin public conversationsabout changing the graduation program toemphasize personalized learning.

Scholarships will also be reviewed toensure they are aligned with the goalsof B.C.’s Education Plan, the initiativeintended to push K-12 schools into the 21stcentury.

Lisa Kristmanson knew there was some-thing seriously wrong with her seven-year-olddaughter’s eyesight.

“Some tests were performed, but theycouldn’t give specific answers,” saidKristmanson, of her daughter MakenzieCampbell.

Initially, doctors thought the little girl washard of hearing but her mother suspectedvision impairment because Makenzie wasalways squinting, more than normal.

“They thought it was her hearing but itwas because she was concentrating so hardon seeing,” added the Steveston resident.

After a visit to an ophthalmologist didn’talleviate her worries, Kristmanson took herdaughter to a vision clinic. It was there thatan MRI was recommended.

“By this time, Makenzie was havingabsent seizures where she’d tune out for a fewminutes,” added her mom.

In 2007, she was diagnosed with opticnerve glioma, a form of cancer, which hasdeveloped into an inoperable tumor on heroptic nerve.

To make matters worse, doctors soonfound out Makenzie was allergic to chemo-therapy. Although the cancer has caused the12-year-old to be visually impaired, it hasn’tstopped her from living like a typical pre-teen. And like other kids her age, Makenzie’sfavourite summertime memory was camp.

For the past two years, she and 10-year-old brother Matthias have been packing uptheir bathing suits and heading to Camp

Goodtimes, at Loon Lake in Maple Ridge.The camp is a weeklong free, fun-filled,

medically supervised camp for children withcancer and their siblings.

“Makenzie can go there with other kidswho understand how she feels and just be akid for a week,” said her mom, who movedto Richmond two years ago to be closer toChildren’s Hospital.

Makenzie shyly added, “I had fun andmade lots of new friends. I also like the danc-ing and canoeing on the lake and the ropebridge is a lot of fun too.”

That’s why Makenzie, a junior Copsfor Cancer member, will be cheering onRichmond RCMP officers Kyle Simpson andLouis-Philippe Gendron-Fafard, who are bothtaking part in their debut Cops for Cancer2012 Tour de Coast ride.

Both Richmondites have been training formonths to be ready for this year’s Tour deCoast. From Sept. 19 to 27, the two will joinanother 31 emergency personnel from acrossthe province to pedal an often grueling 4,000kilometers over some tough B.C. terrain.

Like nearly all of us, this insidious dis-

ease personally affected Simpson. Simpson’sgrandmother recently lost her battle with can-cer of the liver and bones.

“Throughout the year that my grandmafought this disease, I felt helpless in the factthat there was nothing I could do to changewhat was happening,” said the six-yearRCMP member.

Simpson has raised more than $7,115,while Gendron-Fafard, a five-year veteranof the force, is closing in at just more than$5,500. Gendron-Fafard is cycling, notbecause anyone close to him has cancer, butfor children who are battling cancer.

“I’m a new uncle and although my neph-ew is healthy, I wanted to raise money forthose children who aren’t so lucky,” said thetransplanted Quebecer.

A visit to Camp Goodtimes, a weeklongcamp for children fighting cancer, was anoth-er defining moment for both.

“To see these kids, who you know are bat-tling cancer, have fun and be happy was somoving,” said Simpson. “That really mademe want to do this even more.”

Besides Camp Goodtimes, money raised

during the Tour de Coast benefits importantprograms such as pediatric cancer researchin Canada, financial assistance and supportfor children and families, transportation forfamilies to and from their cancer-relatedappointments, as well as accommodations forfamilies travelling away from home.

“The Canadian Cancer Society has beenincredible to us,” said Kristmanson. “Wewere living in Prince Rupert for the first fewyears of Makenzie’s cancer. We had to comedown to Vancouver every three months andthe society covered some of our expenses. Iwill do anything to help out the cancer soci-ety … I owe them so much.”

In the meantime, Makenzie is lookingforward to beginning Grade 7 at Lord Byngelementary.

A fundraiser happens on Wednesday,Sept. 26 at the Riverside Banquet Hall,Grand Ballroom, #230-14500 River Rd.Tickets are $55 and include dinner, a raffleand live entertainment. All the proceeds goto cover the cost of children attending CampGoodtimes. For more information about thisfundraiser, visit www.copsforcancerbc.ca.

SPRY HAWKINS MICNER LAWYER

Suite 440-5900 No. 3 Road (Vancity Tower)


Micner

A Classic Case of WhogotitStore bought Wills prepared and signed by persons without legal advicehave been the subject of much litigation in B.C. over the years. Manyof the cases have been about the interpretation of the Wills. Last week,reasons for judgment were released in an important case in which thePower of Appointment was the main legal issue. The case, called Tassone,Executrix of the Will of Pearson v. Pearson, Kennedy and others, is acase among cousins, and is based on a tragic set of facts. But the caseis important, not only because of the Court’s discussion of the power ofappointment, but also because it illustrates the risk involved and potentialcost of making a Will without any advice (it’s a sort of “pay me now or payme later” kind of situation).The FactsThe deceased had three sons. She survived all of them. When she diedin September, 2010 she was survived by six grandchildren. The last of herchildren to predecease her (in 2007) was a son, Ronald. The Will of thedeceased appointed the Petitioner, a granddaughter (Ronald’s niece), asExecutrix. She launched this action in order to have the Will interpreted.The other parties in the case (Respondents) were Ronald’s two children.The Petitioner’s position was that because the power of appointment in theWill gave her full discretion to distribute the Estate assets as she wished,she could take the assets for herself. The Respondents’ position was thatthe Will’s final clause really bequeathed the Estate to Ronald and so as hischildren, they should get the Estate.The Will, done in 2003, in part said this:“I Devise my estate as follows: and bequeath the real and personal estate,of which I may die possessed to be distributed as seen appropriate by myexecutor.”Then, the deceased’s son Ronald was appointed Executor, and as a backup,the Petitioner was appointed Executrix. Because Ronald died before hismother, in fact the Petitioner became Executrix.The final clause of the Will said:“Beneficiary of this my Will is my son Ronald…”The Power of AppointmentThe Court defined “Power of Appointment”. Using the definition in thefamous Black’s Law Dictionary, the Court essentially defined the termas a power that is conferred on a person (a donee) by Will, to select andnominate one or more recipients of the Testator’s (the donor) estate orincome.So the power of appointment is the ability somebody receives through aWill, to essentially select who gets the Estate of the deceased. It’s as if thedeceased doesn’t know to whom he or she ought to give their Estate, sothey let the appointed person do the selecting for them.Court’s analysisThe Court did an excellent, thorough and detailed analysis of the lawin this case. In its analysis of the power of appointment, the Court notsurprisingly held that the power was based in law, and was valid in thiscase. It was a “general” power of appointment, such that the Executrix hadfull discretion to distribute the assets of the Estate as she saw fit.The Respondents argued that an old rule, called the “anti-delegation” ruleapplied in this case and invalidated the general power of appointment. TheCourt carefully considered that argument, citing and analyzing centuriesold law, which allows powers of appointment. Some of the cases citedwhich considered the anti-delegation rule actually seemed to involve Willclauses which were vaguely drafted and so were held to be void because ofuncertainty. Ultimately the Court held that the power of appointment wasvalid under Canadian law and so it applied to this particular Will.The Court then turned to the construction and interpretation of thisunusual Will. The first requirement of the Court in such a case is toascertain what the deceased intended in her Will. The language in theWill had to be considered first. But because of its vagueness, the Courtwas permitted in law to utilize external evidence (the “armchair rule”) inorder to get at what the intention really was. The Court examined theaffidavits filed by the parties. Evidence contained about the relationshipsthe deceased had with the parties was helpful to the Court, particularlythat the Executrix had a close relationship with her grandmother (thedeceased).The Court then attempted to reconcile the conflicting parts of the Will(mentioned above). The Court held that the most sensible interpretationof the Will was to give the Executrix, via the power of appointment, thediscretion to distribute the assets as she saw fit. Thus, the Executrixreceived the Estate. The deceased, in her Will, gave her son Ronald thepower of appointment but if he predeceased (which he did), that powerwent to the alternate Executrix (the Petitioner in this case). That stood asthe most sensible interpretation of the Will.ConclusionsAs mentioned, this case was very well analyzed by the Court. It is too earlyto determine whether the decision will be appealed. But it is an exampleof what can happen where a Will is made without advice. Litigationsometimes ensues, and an entire Estate went to a person who was one of sixgrandchildren of the deceased. As well as this case was analyzed, I was stillleft wondering whether the deceased might have really wanted her Estateto go to more than one grandchild (for example, the two Respondents inthis case). Though I think the result in the case makes legal sense, we don’treally have a clear expression anywhere of what distribution of her Estatethe deceased may have wanted. Given the typical cost of making a Will(which is generally not particularly expensive most of the time), in myview it would have helped had the deceased sought out some advice.

Business

Jack Mar was born in China but moved to Vancouver asa boy. Now he’s the CEO of Richmond-based Star SolutionsInternational, which does a lot of work in China. There, Marhas the advantage of knowing the language. But not knowingthe language hasn’t stopped him from going elsewhere in theworld, like India, Afghanistan and Malaysia.

“If you want to do business you just go,” Mar said. “It’snot that foreign out there.”

Star Solutions designs, manufactures and sells the infra-structure for cellular networks — basically everything exceptthe handset, Mar said. Its specialty is finding cellular solu-tions for remote areas. Less than 10 per cent of the company’sbusiness is in Canada. The rest is divided equally betweenAsia and Africa.

China is fast becoming the world’s largest economic powerwith gross domestic product of $7.3 billion US. While thatstill lags substantially behind the United States, with its GDPin 2011 of $14.5 billion, China is predicted to surpass theU.S. within the decade.

As China grows, so too do British Columbia’s exports toit. In 2011, B.C. exported a total $32.7 billion of merchan-dise, $5 billion of which went to China.

The United States is still B.C.’s biggest export market,importing $14 billion worth of goods last year, but the bal-ance is definitely shifting. A decade ago, in 2001, exports toChina from B.C. were worth only $700 million while the U.S.bought $22.1 billion worth of B.C. goods.

No industry better reflects this shift than B.C.’s forestproducts industry.

In 2005, B.C. was shipping 9.75 billion board feet of SPFlumber to the U.S., said Paul Newman, executive director ofmarket access and trade at B.C.’s Council of Forest Industriesand president of Canada Wood Group. In 2011, B.C. onlyshipped four billion board feet to the U.S.

But during the same time frame, shipments to Asia jumpedfrom 731 million board feet, or seven per cent of export ship-ments, to 3.5 billion, or 47 per cent.

The forest products industry has been helped by both the

federal and provincial governments who have funded industryorganizations like Canada Wood and have led trade missionsto Asia.

Those efforts started long before the housing market in the

U.S. collapsed. “We were probably six or seven years into theexercise before we started to get traction and see increasedsales,” Newman said.

James Brander, Asia-Pacific professor of internationalbusiness and public policy at the University of B.C.’s SauderSchool of Business calls the shift in lumber exports to Chinafrom the U.S. “amazing.”

“China is now a really important market for us. And soft-wood lumber is our most important single export.”

But China wants other B.C. goods as well. In 1993, Chinabecame a net importer of oil and in 2010 it became theworld’s biggest consumer of energy. That is why the B.C. gov-ernment is anxious to get liquefied natural gas plants operat-ing in Kitimat — to send gas to China.

So when including energy and mineral exports and somemanufactured products, “it’s just natural that China hasbecome a very important market for us,” Brander said.

Geography is key, with China’s relative proximity to B.C.making it a good market to target. The forest products indus-try, for example, has no plans to expand to Eastern Europe, anarea its Eastern Canadian counterparts are looking at.

There are other reasons why B.C. tends to focus on Asiafor trade, said Jock Finlayson, executive vice-president of theBusiness Council of B.C.

“A lot of the immigration coming into British Columbiais from Asian jurisdictions and that actually has an impact, Ithink, on prompting more interest,” Finlayson said.

The International Monetary Fund is predicting China willcontinue growing at more than eight per cent a year, downfrom the 10-per-cent annual growth it has been enjoying.

Nathan won’t know until November ifhe has cracked the 22-player final roster,but he did play well enough to get theattention of the Saskatoon Blades. TheWestern Hockey League club added himto its protection list, which means aninvite to main training camp at the end of

the month.Nathan’s workload at the tryouts

included a morning practice with “TeamGrey” followed by a game in the after-noon where he shared crease duties with

Edmonton’s JordanPapirny.

“It was a real goodexperience,” said thesoon-to-be Grade 11student. “It was fastpaced hockey with allthat talent and showedyou what level you haveto be at.

“You definitely felt alittle bit of pressure, but

then you would clam down and play yourgame.”

Nathan’s camp invite came after asolid rookie season in the B.C. MajorMidget Hockey League with theCanadians.

He cracked the regional squad as a15-year-old, a feat no one would havepredicted two years earlier.

Sison, who will be entering UBC’sFaculty of Arts, says the program is aperfect fit for her.

“I chose UBC because I want toreceive the best education I possibly

“It has excellent academics, and ithas excellent athletics and an excellentsoftball team.

“When I got the letter of acceptance,it was really exciting. I kept pinchingand slapping myself.

“Starting a new chapter in my life issomething I’m really looking forwardto.”

Thom describes Jung as a positiveplayer with good speed who will pro-vide further depth at catcher.

A pair of Richmond hockey playershave been named to Female U18 TeamBC, which will be competing at the2012 U18 national women’s champion-ship in Dawson Creek Nov. 7-12.

Defenceman Jodi Gentile and for-ward Leah Lum were selected to the20-player roster following the recentsummer development camp with theKazakhstan national women’s team inSalmon Arm.

“The camp with Team Kazakhstanwas a huge success. The majority ofthe team had never been to Canada orto a camp of this nature,” said NancyWilson, director of operations for

Team BC. “Kazakhstan is an olderand more experienced team, but B.C.proved they have a lot of talent. Thesewere their first games together andthey were highly competitive.”

Team Kazakhstan played threegames against Team BC, beating themtwo games to one.

Team BC edged Team Kazakhstan2-1 in the series opener butKazakhstan came back the next night,beating the home team 5-1 due mainlyto a solid power play effort.

Kazakhstan again beat Team BC4-2 with the last goal being scored intoan empty net.

Gentile and Lum are both com-ing off impressive seasons with theirrespective club teams where theyplayed prominent roles in winningchampionships.

Gentile helped the Fraser ValleyPhantom capture the B.C. FemaleMidget AAA Hockey League title,while Lum was a member of theRichmond Midget “A” Ravens thatwon their first-ever provincial banner.

Another Ravens player — EmilyCostales of Vancouver — also madeTeam B.C., as did two other Phantommembers — Chelsea Wilson andMackenzie Wong.

U18 hockey players compete at nationals

level in South Delta MinorHockey, Nathan attendedBantam rep evaluationswhere he struggled fromthe outset.

He soon learned he didnot make the A1 squadand his status on the A2roster remained in doubtupon further evaluation,which is the typical pro-cess for “bubble” players.

“I didn’t have a greattryout and was on theverge of being cut,”recalled Nathan. “I hadnever played house hockeyin my life.

“It was between me andanother kid on whether Iwould stay on the ‘B’ teamor not.

“It was a real eye open-ing experience.”

Fortunately, SouthDelta Minor goaltendercoach Jack O’Halloransaw Nathan’s potential andbegan working with him.

He secured his spot onthe A2 team and hasn’tlook back since.”

“Jack deserves a lotof credit,” added Nathan.“He helped me get myconfidence back where itneeded to be.”

Nathan also receivedinterest from B.C. HockeyLeague clubs and willattend the NanaimoClippers’ camp first beforeheading to Saskatoon.

Then he will begin toweigh his options for thecoming season that alsocould include anotheryear with the GreaterVancouver Canadians.

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

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

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

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

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