Webster’s Corners students Nayla MacCorkindale, Harmony Kline, Cassidy McKay, Elijah Baher, and Jane Wetherill are asking all students throughout the district to wear jerseys on Friday anddonate a toonie to support local kids who can’t afford to take part in sports.

Webster’s Corner Elementarystudents want to raise seriouscoin for children in sports.

by Maria [email protected]

It’s not just because the NHL isback.

But the timing is good for aJersey Day fundraiser wherebyWebster’s Corners Elementary ischallenging students and staff atall schools in Maple Ridge andPitt Meadows, as well as the staffat the two municipal halls to weara jersey – for any sport – anddonate at least a toonie to thelocal chapter of KidSport.

Tanya Dailey, principal at theeast Maple Ridge school, andthe school’s culture club wantto focus their fundraising effortslocally, and after helping theFriends In Need Food Bank andthe Caring Place already thisschool year, they want to helplow-income families get their kidstaking part in sports.

It is part of the school’s “pay itforward” philosophy.

“I think it’s important to keepfocused locally,” Dailey said.“Kids can relate [to issues] closerto home.”

The culture club students takepart in sports themselves, fromcheer leading to basketball, andthey want other kids to have thesame opportunities.

“Some people don’t haveenough money to do sports, andwe want them to have a chanceto do sports... when they reallywant to,” said Grade 5 studentand culture club member NaylaMacCorkindale.

Dailey and her students want toraise $5,000 this Friday.

They have delivered donationcans to all six high schools and allelementary schools throughout thetwo communities. There is also adonation jar at Cooper’s Foods onDewdney Trunk Road and 240thStreet, and at Save-On-Foods atValley Fair Mall.

Students and staff are encour-aged to donate at least a toonie,but larger amounts will also beaccepted.

Cheques can be made out toKidSport or to Webster’s CornersElementary.

Next week, the school’s cultureclub will start its giant math les-son of counting the money.

The District of Maple Ridge isencouraging its staff to take partin the jersey day fundraiser, anda jersey day bucket will be at thefront desk at municipal hall.

“We hear time and time againhow much this program hasimpacted individuals and fam-ilies,” said Fred Armstrong, com-munications manager for theDistrict.

Passion could play a part in keeping thelocal watershed clean and healthy.by Sylver [email protected]

Getting people to Bell-Irving Hatchery inKanaka Creek Regional Park and teaching themhow to keep the watershed clean and healthy,isthe top priority for Bell-Irving Hatchery man-ager Darin McClain.

“Everybody thinks, ‘I’m just one person,what could I do?’ But I’ve seen one person withpassion put that passion intoothers and, suddenly, there istwo dozen people and amazingthings can happen in very shortorder,” McClain said.

“What people need to get outof this is that this is theirs, it’spart of the community,” he said,gesturing to the construction ofthe new hatchery on the site where the old onewas demolished last September.

The hatchery will be finished in April, hope-fully by April 21, in time for the GoodbyeChums event.

Kanaka Education and EnvironmentalPartnership Society (KEEPS) has been providingeducational programming to local schools foryears and continues to do so during the con-struction phase of the new hatchery.

The hatchery provides fish eggs to elementaryschools in the Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows

school district. After they are hatched, thefry are released into the tributaries of theKanaka Creek watershed. The hatchery alsoprovides eggs for seven other rivers.

Construction of the hatchery is ongoing.McClain explained the layout of the building,including where the viewing window will be.

By keeping the hatchery building sizesmall, costs will remain low.

“Sure, everybody would like a few extrasquare feet here and there, but by keeping ittight and compact you can reduce the powerthat is required to run it,” said McClain.

The watershed is unique and planners triedto capitalize on that whenthey designed the layoutfor the buildings, explainedMcClain.

The Kanaka CreekWatershed StewardshipCentre is planned for next tothe hatchery, and will have aclear view of the creek.

“Yes, we are bringing people inside, butwe still want that open, in-the-park feelingwhile conducting programs. We are in sucha geologically and ecologically unique water-shed,” said Darin.

“From Blue Mountain all the way downto river front there is so much to offer,” headded.

To help KEEPS win $100,000 for thenext phase, the Kanaka Creek WatershedStewardship Centre, visit www.fuelling-change.com or www.keeps.org.

@mrtimesfor the top headlines in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows

Five glass cases werereplaced Wednesdayafter smash-and-grabheists the day before.


A local jeweller and hisstaff got the fright of theirlives Tuesday, when threearmed bandits wearing dis-guises robbed their store.

Hammond Jewellery,at 20832 Lougheed Hwy.,was the target of a smashand grab, according tomanager Dean Davey.

“They definitely knewwhat they were doing,”Davey told The TIMES.

The bandits entered atabout 3 p.m. on Jan. 15,ordering the five employ-ees to the ground. Therewere no customers in thestore at the time.

Weapons were produced,but no one was injuredin what RCMP Insp. DaveFleugel described as a“brazen daytime robbery.”

Five cases were smashedduring the robbery, and ayet-undetermined quantityof jewelry was taken.

“It felt like a long time,but it probably was overquickly,” Davey said aboutthe length of time thieveswere in the historic Maple

Ridge jewelry store.“It was very upsetting to

the staff,” he added.This is the first time

since the Davey fam-ily bought HammondJewellery four years agothat they’ve been robbed.

Ridge Meadows generalduty and serious crimesofficers are leading theinvestigation, with helpfrom the integrated foren-sic identification team.

Store staff and nearbywitnesses are being inter-viewed. Officers are alsoreviewing surveillancefootage, and lookingfor information about alight coloured SUV, pos-sibly a Ford Explorer or

Expedition, that was in thevicinity at the time of theheist.

RCMP confirmed the sus-pects escaped in a vehicle.

Local Mounties are alsocommunicating with otherpolice agencies in theLower Mainland, to see ifthis crime parallels othersin the region recently.

Fleugel described it as a“well thought-out” crime,and he’s hoping the publiccan help solve it.

Anyone with informa-tion about this crime, thevehicle, or the suspectsis asked to call the localRCMP at 604-463-6251, orCrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Zeus is a one-year-old Labrador retriever who is training to become a working dog for the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind. He was the guest of honourat Golden Ears Elementary on Tuesday, where he gave Alexander Juricic the sniff test (below).

A kids’ reading, writing,and math lesson goesto the dogs.


Liesa LaBossiere’s grades2 and 3 students are read-ing Smokey and the Gorillaby Sylvia McNicoll.

The novel is about a boywho thinks that the blacklab who lives with hisfamily is a pain.

In the book,Smokey is intraining tobecome a guidedog for CanineVision Canada.

Zeus, a one-year-old Labradorretriever, visitedthe Golden EarsElementary class-room with hishandler Vanessa Park onTuesday.

Like Smokey, Zeus isalso training to become aguide dog.

Park is involved withCanadian Guide Dogs forthe Blind (CGDB) and hasbeen Zeus’ puppy walker– or foster – for a year.

Park brought Zeus toLaBossiere’s class for showand tell and was inter-viewed by the children,

who are taking part in theone-to-one iPod Touchprogram, intended toimprove reading fluency,student engagement, andstudents’ attitudes aboutreading.

The school district isusing iPod Touches tohelp the learning experi-ence for students in sevenclassrooms, includingLaBossiere’s.

These new tools areuseful in showing howtechnology can be help-ful in a classroom situa-

tion, explainedLaBossiere.

“This is a funway to combinewriting, reading,questioning, andmaking connec-tions with theGorilla novel,” saidLaBossiere.

CGDB placespuppies at about

seven weeks with fosterfamilies who raise thepups for a year.

The puppy walkerssocialize the puppies,which are mainly goldenretrievers and Labradorretrievers, to as many dif-ferent, everyday environ-ments as possible.

The socialization beginsin the home and graduallyadvances to quiet areasand works up to restau-

rants, shopping malls,transit, elevators, and evenclassrooms. Zeus has spentthe last year training forthe next stage. He leavesfor Ontario later this week.

Park has grown to loveZeus throughout the yearin which the pup livedwith her just as the boyhad in Smokey and theGorilla.

Opinion

The world’s in bad shape.The Big Eye has shown us and

told us as much: floods, famine,tropical storms, earthquakes, tsu-namis – some of them natural,others man-made, affected by ourshoddy treatment of the planet. Icecaps are melting, sea levels rising,and Australia is on fire.

It’s climate change, the green-house effect, depletion of theozone, too many cars, too muchindustry.

I have a friend with property onGeorgian Bay in Ontario who sayshe has 20 to 30 feet more shoreline and can nolonger get his boat in the water. It’s to make youweep.

There is also man’s inhumanity to man: war,disease, murder, rape, torture, poverty, hell in ahand basket – that’s the train we’re taking.

Not to despair, there is hope; there is hockey onthe horizon.

Our heroes have returned from their own warof avarice and high-end hotel rooms, and it isbehind their well-muscled backs and their $1,000suits that we will skate into a better, brighter,more expensive future.

There will be obstacles to overcome in ashortened season, an alienated fan base primaryamong them, and Brian Burke’s raving diatribefollowing the loss of his job with the Leafs.

There is only room for one opinionated, bigmouth in the league, and that’s Don Cherry.

But in the end, games will be played, beer con-sumed, merchandise bought, and Roberto Luongowill get a job somewhere.

But what of the fans?How are they to be placated? Some, of course,

feel no enmity toward the league and the players.They missed the game so much they will wel-

come it back under any circumstances, includingthe neglect of their household chores and thedeterioration of their marriages, just when theywere starting to talk to their spouses again.

These people have no shame, they need their

fix and they’re willing to spendthe kids’ college money to get it.

Others want a little somethingback, a show of remorse andredemption from the greedy play-ers. So here, for free, is a list ofsteps hockey might take to winback the fans:

1) Canuck players can invitea fan and his family to dinnerat their palatial home in PointGrey, where you will watch oldgames on a 108-inch screen andplay table hockey with your hero– who will send you home with

an autographed copy of his contract.2) Sponsor a low-income child who wants to

play hockey but can’t afford the new gear andhas to shop secondhand. Buy the kid some equip-ment and pay for his registration and then prom-ise to show up for some of his games. Maybe tellhim he could be an NHL prospect sometime, if hegets rid of the front teeth and the big vocabulary.

3) Go into schools and talk about the love ofthe game as your primary motivation. Tell themmoney isn’t happiness and that a million bucksa year is nothing if you can’t score off a break-away or punch the crap out of an opponent.

Then when they all laugh at this observation,give each of them $20, which should cover twobeers and a hotdog at the game.

4) Burke and Luongo can take their act onthe road – going to comedy clubs and festivals– telling funny stories about their careers. Burkeplays the Angry Irish Guy and Roberto the DumbItalian Sidekick in an Abbott and Costello takeoff:Who’s in goal, What’s in the manager’s box, etc.

5) Gary Bettman can leave the game and entera career in politics with the Conservative partyand an eye to becoming prime minister.

Hockey’s a lot like politics and the govern-ment’s relationship with the electorate. There area few people at the top with fat salaries and greatpensions, and then there’s the rest of us, payingtaxes and exorbitant parking fees and drinkingbeer.

Our View

Turn it aboutNow is the time for the BC Liberals

to steal some ideas that members ofthe Opposition like to raise before anelection… and then conveniently forgetafter forming government themselves.

Premier Christy Clark is in the perfectposition to act on ideas that politiciansprefer to study and discuss, but tend toslip from their memories after the votesare counted.

After all, the BC Liberals can’t ser-iously be thinking that they’ll still be onthe government side of the legislaturewhen the election dust settles this May.

They don’t have to worry about insti-tuting important legislation that may beunpalatable to voters, because frankly,an overwhelming number of votersalready find the BC Liberals unpalatableanyway. So they don’t have to worrywhether they will be boxing themselvesin by making rules now that they’llregret having to follow later.

In fact, they have a rare opportun-ity to do something that should havebeen done long ago – and the best partis that they could saddle the (probably)incoming NDP government with its ownsuggestion.

The B.C. NDP says it wants prov-incial legislation prohibiting any gov-ernment from using public money onadvertising to pat itself on the back– clearly in response to the millions oftax dollars that the BC Liberal govern-ment is spending to promote its ownprograms and put a positive spin onsome rather questionable labour andgeneral economic statistics.

We all know it’s mostly a politicalploy on the part of the NDP – and aploy that has teeth, because ordinarycitizens are truly fed up with this wasteof their tax money.

But if the Clark government wereto introduce and pass such legislationbefore May, the incoming NDP govern-ment would be forced to abide by thevery restraint they are calling for now,instead of conveniently forgetting aboutit after they are in charge. No loss tothe BC Liberals – and the real winnerswould be the taxpaying public.

– B.G.

Dear Editor,Can you use this in your newspaper to

help other young people who want to leavethis earth before their time?

I felt like taking my own life at one time(I was 30 years old) and almost did (drivethe car off the road over a cliff), in Idaho!But, something held me back – my thoughtat the time was, “Wait, maybe tomorrow,and see how you feel.”

I have had 52 years of life past that time,and have lived a wonderful life. There wasso much more to come! For instance: I trav-elled to Hawaii twice, to Alaska on a cruise,and four times to Europe to discover it, andtook a cruise to the Caribbean.

I went on to meet other people, para-

chuted out of a plane (to see what that waslike), worked in a super job for 31 years,joined the reserve army in my spare time(rank of MWO) and stayed for 21 years, etc.

My life has been wonderful, and God hasbeen with me all the time.

I had the time to sit with my brother andtalk, and hold his hand as he lay dying ofcancer. We talked about our days togetherin our young life, what it was going to belike when we leave this earth, about his andmy faith in God, etc.

You can never begin to see how muchmore there is in life if you do not stayaround to see it.

So think before you leap.Florence Reid, Pitt Meadows

Suicide

Time offers fresh view on life

Dear Editor,I have been in contact

with the mayor for approxi-mately two years, as well aswith the person in chargeof road signs, regardingthe speed limits over theNeaves Road bridge in Pitt

Meadows.I try to cross that road

hundreds of times a year,while taking walks on thedikes, and have almost beenhit by cars and trucks onmany occasions.

The yellow sign before the

bridge says slow to 30 km/h, but 90 to 95 per cent ofdrivers fly across at speedsof 60 to 70 km/h, and attimes even faster.

I’ve been asking themayor to have that yellowsign changed to a whitesign, setting the maximumspeed at 30 km/h. Whatcould that cost, $50-$100?What’s someone’s lifeworth, maybe your friend,relative, or a mother push-ing her baby across thisroad? One day, someonewill die there.

The mayor has asked meto write down the licencenumbers of the speedingcars and trucks, and letterswill be sent to them.

First, that’s not my job.And second, I don’t havethe time to get out a pen towrite down the numbers,because of their speed. Thatbridge has a large crown onit, and it’s difficult to seethe cars and trucks coming.

Change the sign!Herbert Elson, Maple Ridge

Limit needed on dangerous bridge

Just Saying

Robson erred on ownershipDear Editor,

Gordy Robson made some valid points about our B.C.ferry system [BC Ferries needs another Captain Terry,Dec. 24 Just Saying, TIMES], but he made a huge error insaying Black Ball Ferries was owned by the CPR.

It was owned by the Peabody interests of Seattle, andregistered as Black Ball Lines (Canada) Ltd.

In 1958 the CPR fleet, under federal charter, was struckfirst and Premier W.A.C. Bennett’s government could notintervene.

Black Ball was struck shortly after. But as a provinciallychartered company, it was subject to B.C. legislation.Eventually, all its crews defied back-to-work orders, and theonly connection on and off Vancouver Island for motoristswas via Washington State Ferries running between Sidneyand Anacortes.

That isolation caused Bennett to create a government-owned ferry service, with Captain Harry Terry’s help.

Ron Armstrong, Victoria

Dear Editor,It seems the native popu-

lation does not have a lot offans. It is claimed Idle NoMore is not being realistic.

After hundreds of yearsof accumulated injustices,any attempt to rectify thesituation is bound to look amight convoluted.

The popular myth saysthey are lazy parasites liv-ing off the hard work of allthe rest of us upstandingcitizens, and they want tosteal my house.

Many Canadians just can’tfathom why – after hun-dreds of years of genocide,residential schools, racialdiscrimination, Herculeanattempts by the Canadiangovernment to wipe outtheir languages and cultureand customs, stamp acts,potlatch laws, theft anddestruction of their landsand children, and no seriousattempts to live up to orsign treaties with the origin-al stewards of this country– they can’t just be happy

with what we give them.We have taken away most

of their land, and in doingso, their customs and wayof life, and given them noth-ing but a bag of beads.

The First Nations peopleare by far the poorest demo-graphic in Canada, with theaverage reserve wage of lessthan $12,000 a year, anddue to the two per cent capon core services in placesince 1996, it only getsworse every year.

If this situation is tochange, the First Nationswill have to go outside ofCanada for any justice, asthe Canadian governmentand many Canadian peopleare racially prejudicedagainst the First Nations.

Idle No More

Prejudice stands in way of fairness

Auditor General

Decision-maker had no rightDear Editor,

Under the circumstances, Eric Foster should not get avote regarding the BC Liberal decision not to renew AuditorGeneral John Doyle’s contract. How screwy is that?

Foster needs to be tossed from the committee, andPremier Christy Clark needs to explain to us why the bestauditor general we’ve ever had, who wants to stay, is get-ting turfed, when her government is on its way out, aswell? It’s all very suspicious. Once again, her governmenthas taken a simple exercise and turned it into high drama,making us the laughingstock of Canada.

Graduating from high schoolhas become an elaborate affair,and with it often comes a highcost.

To relieve some of those costs,Thomas Haney Secondary hasbeen collecting grad dresses– and one tuxedo so far – andthey will be sold on consignmentat the Greg Moore Youth Centreon Jan. 26 and 27.

The dresses that have beenbrought in for the Twice in aLifetime event range in colour,size, and style, said YvonneMurray, a clerk at ThomasHaney Secondary who is helpingorganize the event.

The dress owners paid a $25fee to take part, and this moneywill go towards Putting on theGlitz, a program that helps payfor the expensive grad costs oflow-income students referredthrough school counsellors andlocal agencies.

But with tight budgets, gradua-tion can be an expensive timefor even the average family.

Some people search onCraigsList or other places for

used grad dresses, Murray said,and this sale will offer anotheropportunity to find a dress.

The dresses are typicallypriced between $200 and $350,and the price is set by the ownerof the dress, Murray said.

Finding an affordable dress is“just a relief,” said Murray, whoherself had two daughters livethe Grade 12 graduation experi-ence.

If anyone has a grad dressthey would still like to sell onconsignment at the Twice ina Lifetime event, they shouldcall Murray at Thomas HaneySecondary, 604-463-2001.

Dresses will be accepted untilWednesday, Jan. 23.

The sale will take place onSaturday, Jan. 26 and Sunday,Jan. 27from 11a.m. to 3p.m. atthe GregMooreYouthCentre, inthe multi-purposeroom.

Thedressescan onlybe pur-chasedwithcash,Murraysaid.

...continued from page A1“I have two comments to make

tonight,” Murray added. “One: we allwanted to see what a zero-per-cent taxincrease would look like. We simplywanted to see if it was at all possible.This was not produced. It has been a bigdisappointment. Two: since zero per centwas not shown, I would like to proposethat mayor, council, and senior staff notreceive raises at all this year. Are youwilling to accept this?”

According to the Statement of FinancialInformation (SOFI) report, the mayor’ssalary grew from $47,160 to $63,220 from2008 to 2010. In three years, itgrew by $16,060.

Also, from 2009 to 2010,councillors’ salary grew from$19,802 to $24,761.

But Mayor Deb Walters seesthings differently.

A volunteer citizen groupwas formed in 2008 and spentmonths reviewing the dutiesof council. They reviewed timespent on committees, train-ing and education opportun-ities, conferences, and travelallowances, and also compared the Citywith other municipal councils in MetroVancouver to come up with these figures.

“Pitt Meadows council wanted toinvolve citizens in the decision of councilcompensation to be transparent and fair,so that we would not be criticized forvoting ourselves large increases,” saidWalters.

“When the recommendation was made,council agreed to accept those recommen-dations, but postpone implementationuntil after the following election,” sheadded.

Walters said it was a fair process, andshe stands by the recommendations made

by the group of citizens.“To simply throw out their work and

recommendations now sends a very nega-tive message,” she said, “and will makeit difficult to enlist people to sit on futurecitizen consultation groups.”

But what she thinks is unfair is theattack on the salaries of City staff.

“It’s unfair that Mr. Murray is attack-ing staff, because it is a labour issue and[therefore is] discussed in camera,” shesaid.

“As mentioned to Mr. Murray lastnight, in my opinion, it was not the timeor place to have that discussion, and that

remains my answer and I willnot be discussing it any furtherunless directed otherwise fromcouncil,” Walters stated.

The mayor is “satisfied” withhow the business planning pro-cess went, and the decision toraise property taxes.

“It is difficult to give everyonewhat they want, so as a coun-cil, we try to find a balance.”

Walters said that councilheard from members of thecommunity through Murray’s

petition, at a public council meetings,from emails, and at an open house.

“I made my decision based on thiscommunity’s needs moving forward,” shesaid. “This is definitely a tax-rate increasethat we can defend,” she said.

Council was split on whether to shiftthe burden to business, in the end stick-ing to the program by encouraging busi-ness growth and ultimately local jobs.

“We want to make it easy for business-es to succeed in Pitt Meadows. By keep-ing the ratio of business to residential taxrates the same, we are showing that com-mitment,” said Walters.

January is the start of a new year andeverybody’s favourite January pur-suit is reflecting on the previous yearand considering new goals and plans

for the upcoming one.As a life and business coach, I like to

take a holistic approach to planning, andthat includes planning social media activ-ities.

One of the big ques-tions I regularly hearfrom social media cli-ents, is “How muchtime should I spendonline and what plat-forms will best servemy business or mylife?”

Given that we’ve justembarked on 2013, thisis a great opportunityto offer up some socialmedia planning advicefrom a coaching per-spective.

Social media goalsneed to be devised in away that integrates withall the dimensions thatmake up your life.

Taking the holisticslant I referred to,let’s call it Social Media Mindfulness. I’mmaking the argument that social mediause should support and enrich the overallaims and objectives you have for yourself.I’m also making the argument that it can.

Social media offers a wealth of tools andplatforms that can reinforce all segmentsof a well-rounded life.

Perhaps you are interested in deepeningyour relationships with distant friends andfamily or exploring your creativity througha new hobby or pastime. You can look tosocial media to provide a platform, shar-ing app, or online community to furtheryour goals.

Is 2013 the year you finally redecorate,update your kitchen, or get that awe-some new barbecue grill? Then check outPinterest, where there are in the neigh-bourhood of 11 million peeps circulatingimages on virtual pin boards crammed full

of inspiring ideas, DIY tips, and productslinked directly to the websites that sellthem.

Perhaps you are up to changing theworld this year and looking for like-mind-ed souls and allies to join you?

While Facebook and Linked In offer arange of topic-based online groups andcommunities you can join or start, Twitterprovides worldwide access to tweeps whoshare your interests and can offer endlessresources on nearly anything.

Twitter is also a great tool for “crowd-sourcing”: obtaining needed services,ideas or opinions from a large group ofpeople online. Tweeps will be happy tooffer insight on everything from the bestbarbecue out there to helping you figureout where the activists are.

Facebook is a naturalplace to start to connector reconnect with oldfriends and new.

Through simplesearches you can findthat old high schoolsweetheart, or theroomie you had in col-lege that you’ve losttouch with.

If you are focused ongrowing your businessby building a widernetwork of professionalcontacts, it might betime to increase yoursavvy using Linked In,with 200-million regis-tered users and a repu-tation as networking onsteroids.

If 2013 is the yearyou get that awesome

job, Linked In is the virtual place to be.The point here is that ways to use

social media are almost as infinite as theInternet itself.

The key to making choices about timespent or platforms used is making a delib-erate assessment of what is truly import-ant to you.

The target is to make social mediachoices that are congruent with your big-ger picture. In coaching parlance, we callthis the Big A – the Big Agenda. What is itthat you really want? Figure that out andthen choose the platform that fits.

Bergthorson Academy ofMusic put on a family-friendly classic at The ACT.by Maria [email protected]

Since 1939, the movie versionof The Wizard of Oz has beenentertaining generations of fam-ilies.

So, largely for nostalgic rea-sons, a local production, put onby the Bergthorson Academy ofMusic and directed by one ofits instructors, Rayne Beveridge,will stick close to its cinematiccounterpart.

“We’re trying to stay as true tothe types of characters you sawin the movie,” Beveridge saidabout the musical theatre pro-duction set to open this Friday.

The Wizard of Oz will beshowing at The ACT this week-end, with the familiar charactersof Dorothy and her ruby slippers,the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Man,and the Scarecrow.

They will be joined on stageby a cast of good and evil char-acters, witches and munchkins,and of course, the wizard whohelps Dorothy get home toKansas after her adventures inOz.

Beveridge dubbed the musicala “family-friendly show,” thatwill appeal to the multitude ofpeople who have seen the moviestarring Judy Garland.

In addition to colourful cos-tumes and a live orchestra, atleast one parent has helped puttogether elaborate sets, despite alow budget.

Marc Deroche built a 16-foot-high balloon and a house – sixfeet by six feet – that spins in thetornado.

This is the third musical puton by Bergthorson that incorpor-ates the recently formed RidgeMeadows Orchestra.

The orchestra performed dur-ing productions of Iolanthe andSpamalot.

The orchestra has expanded to24 pieces, and in this productionwill include four violins, a viola,four cellos, a French horn, oboe,clarinet, saxophone, flutes, and

percussion.Beveridge also conducts the

orchestra – at the same timeas he’s studying conducting atKwantlen University.

The orchestra has been inexistence for more than a yearand Beveridge said it is becominga “more and more solid group.”

He hopes next year theorchestra will be ready toperform a full concert.

The musical theatre per-formance of The Wizardof Oz is also a partnershipwith The ACT, whichhelps promote the per-formances and providesspace for the perform-ance.

The Wizard of Oz will beon the main stage of TheACT on this Friday andSaturday.

Performances are onJan. 18 at 7 p.m. and Jan.19 at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m.

The musical will beperformed in concertJonathan Reichert andthe Ridge MeadowsOrchestra. Tickets are $12in advance, four for $40,or $15 at the door.

Tickets can be boughtby calling 604-476-2787, by going to www.theactmapleridge.org, orby going to the box officeat The ACT in person.

There have never been as manychoices for vegetable garden-ers in the seed listings for 2013.Heirloom or hybrid? Unusual col-

ours or traditional ones? Organic seed ornon-organic? Container types or full-size?

Sturdily upright pea plants that don’tneed staking, such as ‘Little Marvel,’are popular with small-space gardeners,though taller vines like the 2.5-metre(eight-foot) ‘Alderman’ alwaysproduce more peas per plant.

A practical alternative ischoosing snap peas, sincepeople who miss har-vesting the pods canjust wait and harvestthe peas within.

Pole beans prod-uce more abun-dant and cleanerbeans than dwarfbeans do. It’salways fun togrow beans withcoloured pods.They can be yel-low, purple, orgreen. There’salso ‘DragonsTongue,’ whichis yellow withpurple stripes.

Runner beansfit as well into aflower bed as theydo in vegetablegardens. They haveflamboyant scarletflowers that are a beefavourite.

Carrots are now avail-able in an awesome

range of colours: yellow, cream,purple, and scarlet, as well astraditional orange. ‘Flyaway’ and‘Resistafly’ give some protectionagainst the carrot rust fly, whichcan be increased by planting car-rots later than usual.

Breeders continue to producesweeter corns than ever before,

but in cold, wet B.C. springs,the old-fashioned ‘Jubilee’

is very reliable fortimely germination

and a good crop. It is nowavailable in a super-sweet version.

Beets of variouscolours are nowincreasingly popu-lar. ‘TouchstoneGold’ is yellow,while ‘Chioggia’has pink andwhite alternatingrings. The long,narrow roots of‘Cylindra,’ whichhaul themselvesout from thesoil, are still themost convenientto pull and slice.

But my favour-ite for productionis ‘Winterkeeper

Lutz’ which hasbig, tender roots

that can go throughthe winter in-ground,

if mulched. They doit more reliably if you

plant them in groups,not rows, so that voles

have to workharder to findthem.

More blight-resistant tomatoesare being listed.They include the largecherry ‘Mountain Magic,’‘Mountain Merit,’ the medium-sized hybrid ‘Defiant,’ and the pastetomato ‘Plum Regal.’

So far, there seem to be no truly blight-resistant potatoes, though ‘Chieftan’and ‘Kennebec’ are said to have someresistance. With partial resistance, blightmoves so slowly there’s time to cut down

the blighty foliage and dig thepotatoes later.

Planting potatoes very earlyand quite deep can help a crop todevelop before blight hits. Afterall, in many gardens, overlookedpotatoes from previous harvestssprout early in spring, sometimesdisrupting rotation plans.

Seed of storage onions such as‘Copra,’ ‘Robinsons Mammoth

Improved,’ or ‘EarlyYellow Globe’ should

be started now.The gardener who

grew the biggestonions I’d ever seen

always started seed inlate December.It’s nice to see the heir-

loom lemon cucumbersstill have a permanent place

in crop offerings. They are small,crisp, very sweet, and often eaten

like apples. Theyproduce masses

of cucumberson big ground-cover-type vines

which smotherout weeds. They’re

almost never foundcommercially, since three

days’ refrigeration is theirmaximum storage time.

Hot and spicy peppers are per-fect for containers, where most are orna-mental, useful, and much easier to growthan bell peppers.

Jalapenos and ‘Long Red Cayenne’ taketo container-growing especially well, andalso pickle beautifully. Both need to beused in moderation.

Loneliness is oneof the themes ofan exhibit at theMaple Ridge ArtGallery.

by Troy [email protected]

A second in thelives of total stran-gers, frozen byphotography, is theinspiration behindartist Shari Pratt’sexhibit at the MapleRidge Art Gallery.

Using photosspanning the 1940sthrough to the ’60s,the 49-year-old MapleRidge artist has cre-ated Lost In Time, acollection of acrylicand mixed-media art.

A public receptionwas held Jan. 12, andthere will be a freeartist presentationthis Saturday, Jan. 19at 11 a.m. inside thegallery.

Three years ago,Pratt strolled throughan antique shop inNew Westminsterwhen she stumbledacross an old portraitphoto.

The subject seemedto speak to her.

Time passed andPratt continued to gatherportraits, most of themprinted on two-inch bythree-inch pieces of blackand white photo paper.She accumulated themlocally as well as abroadin far-off destinations suchas Scotland and Paris.

“It was almost like Iknew these people,” Prattsaid, regarding the sub-jects of the photos thatshe used to model her artaround. “Like they were agrowing family of mine.”

This artistic endeavoris not unfamiliar territoryfor Pratt – she often usespeople as her muse.

“Even when I see alandscape, I tend to put afigure in it,” she said.

Her attraction to por-traits and “old things” isevident through this latestbody of work.Pratt said paint-ing portraits ofpeople she neverknew functionedas an allegoryto her own pastrelationships.

“As I exploredthe concept ofloneliness, Ifound that even throughisolation, alienation, andloneliness, people are stilltrying to communicatewhether they know it ornot,” she said. “We wantto feel that we belong,somehow.”

Pratt is the founder, artdirector, and visual arts

instructor of Creative KaosSchool of Art in MapleRidge.

Her work has beenshown at the EastsideCulture Crawl inVancouver, ConcourseGallery of Emily CarrUniversity, the Harmony

Festival in WestVancouver, Art onthe Pier in NorthVancouver, JohnB. Aird Galleryin Toronto, andFederation Gallery inVancouver.

Lost and Found,a portraiture ser-ies with a theme of

loneliness and imaginaryrelations, is currently ondisplay at the Maple RidgeArt Gallery until Feb. 2.

Visitors are welcometo visit the gallery at nocharge Tuesdays throughSaturdays from 11 a.m. to4 p.m., as well as occa-sional evenings.

Greta J, 52, was recently awarded $40,000compensation for a severe knee injury she sufferedwhile riding the bus in Victoria. As she stood toopen a window, the bus suddenly pulled away fromthe bus stop, causing her to fall and her left leg toslam forward into the hard plastic seat in front ofher.

The judge noted that Ms. J cried out in pain whenshe struck her knee, and while other passengersasked if she was okay, the driver didn’t. “He lookedback to see people around a woman acting as ifthey were concerned about her.” After pulling intothe next bus stop to let several people off, he wentto the back of the bus, passing by her to help apassenger in a wheelchair “but said nothing to Ms.J and went back to his seat and carried on with theroute.”

Then when Ms. J, who was the last passengerleft on the bus, got off, “she made a remark aboutthe driver’s lack of concern. She said the driver…explained that he did not see what happened [toher] and that he was busy with the ramp for thewheelchair.”

“Ms. [J] tried to hop on one leg towards her homebut soon realized she would not make it. A coupleleaving a restaurant saw her and took her to thehospital.”

The bus driver testified that he only braked slightlyfor a truck in front of him after he pulled away fromthe bus stop. But the court found his testimony “toindicate a callous attitude to a passenger in possibledistress. The effect is to cast doubt on the safety ofother aspects of his evidence.” The court preferredMs. J’s evidence – “that the movement of the busfrom the stop was abrupt and forceful, causing herto fall, notwithstanding she had braced herself whileopening the window. There were no exigencies of

traffic or other like explanations for this manner ofdriving.”

Bus drivers must use all due, proper andreasonable care and skill to avoid or prevent injuryto their passengers. The care required is of a veryhigh degree.

In an earlier case, Jane W, 74, who was sitting inthe side bench behind the driver reserved for theelderly and handicapped, got up to take her coatoff when the bus came to a red light. When the lightturned green, and the driver started the bus movingdown the hill, she was still struggling to take off hercoat. She lost her balance and fell over, and becamequadriplegic.

The court concluded that the driver was 75%responsible for the accident. B.C. Transit’s policyrequires drivers to wait for elderly or disabledpassengers to sit down before putting a bus inmotion. The court said this was evidence that busdrivers recognize “there is a higher degree of carerequired to safeguard the elderly or the disabled”than with other passengers.

But the court said Mrs. W was partially responsibletoo. She ought to have known that the bus wouldsoon start to move after the light turned green,and therefore she should have tried to hold on tosomething while removing her coat.

If you’ve been injured in a bus or other trafficaccident, consult your lawyer for advice.

Snow-capped majestyThe mountains provided a majestic backdrop for Pitt Meadows on a sunny January day as the grass glistenedwith frozen dew.

A local credit union put a lot of cash onthe table this week aimed at helping sec-ondary and post-secondary students seek-ing further education – and I’m hopefulsome of that coin will be left here withdeserving scholars in Maple Ridge andPitt Meadows. But to qualify, you have toapply, and the deadline is looming.

Envision Financial rolled out plans todistribute $33,000 in educational awards.Specifically, they’re giving out 14 awardsof $2,000 each to students who demon-strate outstanding school and communityinvolvement.

Their deadline is Feb. 28, with criteriaand applications available online at www.envisionfinancial.ca/education.


Cafe stomps into bistro bizStomping Grounds Coffee House in Pitt

Meadows has made some changes. Theyhave added a full kitchen to their cafeand can now host private parties with fullmenus, provide full service catering, andhost bistro nights Thursdays to Saturdays.

“This village is our community– it’s what inspired us to start StompingGrounds Cafe,” said owner Anahi English.

The reason they decided to add these

services to their cafe is because theywant the community to have a placewhere they can go for “great food, greatwine, and enjoy what Osprey Village hasto offer.”

English’s mother, Roxana, has joinedtheir team and is resident chef. Withmore than 15 years experience in thekitchen, she is creating “simple, but deli-cious meals.”

“We are putting in the effort to create adining experience that is truly communityand family inspired,” English said.

Their menu can be found at www.stompinggroundscoffeehouse.com.

Golfers strolled through the foggyMeadow Gardens Golf Club.

At 48, Maple Ridgemotorcycle racer Ken LaLondecontinues to satisfy his needfor speed.


A scary incident in WashingtonState 30 years ago solidified KenLaLonde’s belief that he belongedon the back of a motorcycle.

The mishap didn’t strike anyfear of riding in him. Quite thecontrary, LaLonde said, he feltrelatively calm seconds after ithappened.

LaLonde’s parents were avidriders, and as a result, he wasraised around motorcycles. Hestarted dirt-bike riding at 11.

At 17, the youngest of threebrothers accompanied his folks ona motorcycle trip to Arkansas.

He and his siblings were invitedto join their mom and dad on thejourney, all expenses paid, so longas they bought their own bikes.

A motivated LaLonde sold hiscar and used the money to buyhis very first street motorcycle.

“That was the start of mymotorcycling, on the street,”LaLonde said.

The sun was sinking under themountains on the first day of thejourney when LaLonde’s tires hita patch of oil. He figured he wastravelling about 80 mph.

“I was riding a few hundredyards in front of my parents… andthe back end of my motorcyclestarted slapping back-and-forth,”he recalled.

Instinctively, LaLonde threw hisfeet down on the asphalt, know-ing not to hit his brakes too hard.

He slid off the road and into thegravel shoulder.

“My mother was in tears,”LaLonde said. “She thought forsure she was going to watch herson die. But it didn’t even getmy heart going. Instantly, I feltperfectly calm. Instead of, ‘Whoa,I’ll never ride a bike again!’ Ithought, ‘You know what? I’vegot this.’”

It didn’t take long beforeLaLonde’s affinity for pushing hisbike to its limit got him into hotwater. At 19, he lost his licenseafter being issued one too manyspeeding tickets.

That’s how he got into trackracing.

“I had that need for speed,

and I wasn’t going to get it onthe street,” LaLonde said. “I wasneeding an outlet for it.”

He raced for the first time in1984 at the former WestwoodMotorsport Park in Coquitlam, aneight-turn, 1.8-mile circuit thatdoubled as a street course forcars andmotor-cycles.

Thenow-48-year-oldMapleRidgeresidentrecalledthat hewas“instantlyfast.”

“Mythird racethat Iwas in, Iended up winning,” he said.

He continued to race throughthe ’80s, winning Canadiannational titles before taking a 15-year hiatus in 1989.

His wife Gail motivated LaLondeto get back into racing when hewas 38 years old.

“I told my wife it was a slipperyslope,” LaLonde said, laughing

heartily.He owned a motorcycle when

he met Gail in 1997, the sameyear he competed in a Canadiannational competition.

He sold the bike a year later.Four years passed, and Gail

convinced her husband to buyanothermotor-cycle.

“Shelovedbeing onthe backof a bikewhen werode onthe street,”LaLondesaid.

Thecouplelater dis-coveredthat racing

existed through the WestwoodMotorcycle Racing Club (WMRC)at the River’s Edge Race Course atMission Raceway Park.

LaLonde hasn’t looked back.Since 2004, he’s been a regular

competitor on the 1.6-mile, nine-turn road course.

“It’s a great place to bring thekids and watch racing,” LaLonde

said, regarding the race course.Lalonde is one of the few

remaining original members of theWMRC.

He and 32-year-old teammateBez Cajee, also a Maple Ridgeresident, are the only two fullysponsored riders in WesternCanada who don’t actually workin the motorcycle business.

Two years shy of his 50th birth-day, LaLonde continues to be adominant force on the River’sEdge course.

Aboard a Ducati 1198SP witha small caricature of his BritishBulldog Buddy decorating its tailsection for inspiration, LaLondetook the checkered flag in 10 of12 races he was involved in at theMission track.

His other two other wins werepart of the Western CanadianChampionship, one weekend inMission, the other at Edmonton’sStratotech Park Raceway. Hefinished first in Open Supersportand second in Superbike after hisclutch blew up in one of the racesin Edmonton.

LaLonde is the No. 1 plateholder for B.C. for the SuperbikeClass (SBK). He’s the first rider inCanada to win the SBK on a twin-cylinder motorcycle in more than30 years.

A32 Thursday, January 17, 2013 Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows TimesSports

Nolan Wallinger scored twice to leadRidge Meadows to a much-needed7-4 win over Port Moody.


The remedy for the Ridge MeadowsFlames’ three-game winless skid cameSaturday in the form of the toothless PortMoody Panthers.

The Panthers are struggling this season,to say the least.

They entered the game with a 5-26-0-1record.

The Flames proceeded to hand thePanthers their 14th consecutive loss, andleague-most 27th setback of the season,by beating them 7-4 at Port Moody Arena.

The win improved the Flames’ record to11-16-2-4.

Thirteen pointsback of the secondplace AldergroveKodiaks and 11points clear of thefourth place MissionCity Outlaws, theFlames seem des-tined to finish thirdin the Pacific JuniorHockey League’sHarold BrittainConference.

Head coach andgeneral managerJamie Fiset isn’t surprised to see theFlames sit where they are at this point ofthe campaign.

“It’s all about being prepared for theplayoffs,” he said. “Right from day one incamp, we expected to be right in middleof the [conference] pack. In that respect,there are very few surprises.”

Looking back at Saturday’s game, Fisetsaid the win was much needed after frus-trating nights against Richmond and NorthDelta in the team’s previous two games.

“It’s huge,” Fiset said. “Anytime youhave a game where you explode for sevengoals and play well, it builds confidence.”

The victory also takes a bit of the stingout of Ridge Meadows’ first two outingsof 2013.

During a 7-0 loss to Richmond on Jan.4, the Flames were in the game until latein the third period, when the Sockeyesscored five times in the final 4:32 of regu-lation.

Prior to the goal explosion, the Sockeyesheld a somewhat tenuous 2-0 lead.

Fast forward to this past Friday, Jan. 11at Planet Ice, and the Flames trailed 3-2early in the third period before the Devilsstruck for three goals over a 4:13 spanto take a 5-2 lead, essentially putting thehome team away.

“We were frustrated the first two games[of January],” Fiset said. “Our first game

back against Richmond we had a 5-0 melt-down. The same with the second [NorthDelta] game. We think we get somemomentum back, and over a three or fourminute span, they put three goals into thenet.”

Fiset said the Flames “finally got somebounces” against Port Moody.

“I think they’re better than their recordindicates,” Fiset said, of the Panthers.“They came close against Richmond andthey do compete reasonably well. I thinkthey’ve improved – that said, we wereexpecting to win that game.”

Nolan Wallinger scored two goals andan assist to pace the Flames’ attack.

“He played a very strong game,” Fisetsaid, regarding the 18-year-old forward.

Wallinger has already surpassed lastseason’s goals and points totals, withseven goals and 12 points in 27 contests.

In 37 games last season with theMission Ice Breakers,the Delta nativescored four goals and10 points.

Wallinger has alsoshaved his penaltyminute totals from126 last season to21 thus far this cam-paign.

Fiset said Wallingeris a far more effect-ive player this year,playing with muchmore controlled emo-tion.

“Wally’s been doing a really good jobre-inventing himself this year,” Fiset said.

Other Flames’ goals versus Port Moodycame off the sticks of Alexander Smith,Michael Nolan, Marco Ballarin, MatthewBissett, and Paul Piluso.

Bissett and Piluso added assists for two-point nights.

Challenging weekendRidge Meadows’ schedule this weekend

is a tough one.The Flames are heading to MSA Arena

in Abbotsford tomorrow (Jan. 18) to takeon the Harold Brittain Conference-leadingPilots.

Winners of their last three games, thePilots have a conference-best 24-8-0-2 rec-ord. Opening puck drop is 7:30 p.m.

On Saturday, the Flames are off to NorthDelta’s Sungod Arena for a date with theDevils. North Delta has a decent 17-15-1-3mark, good for third in the PJHL’s TomShaw Conference.

That game has an early 6:45 p.m. starttime.

“These are two big games for us,” Fisetsaid. “You want to get on a roll, and playconsistently for 60 minutes.”

Junior B fans will get to see their Flameson home ice next Wednesday, Jan. 23when they host the Pilots at Planet Ice.

Game time is 7:30 p.m.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Jan. 20 - Jan. 26, 2013★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: The weeks aheadbring social joys, popularity, entertainment, lightromance, group activities and wish fulfillment – in aneven stronger dose than most Januaries/Februaries.Life seems worthwhile again! Though the pressureis off at work, bosses still favour you, so a momentof socializing with them (say Monday, Tuesday) can’thurt. Sunday’s for shopping – early, before ten.Travel,paperwork, casual friends, errands and variety fillMonday/Tuesday – be curious. Head for homeWednesday eve to Friday: be sluggish, recuperate,nurture family. Romance crescendos Saturday.

Taurus April 20-May 20: An ambitious monthbegins. Your energy and magnetism are tops Sunday,but there’s little worth doing. Charge after moneyand possessions Monday/Tuesday – a great twodays for investments, wiping out debt and sensualgratification. Your career and social reputation facea lucky opening. Trips, errands, paperwork andcasual friends/siblings fill Wednesday eve to Friday:good mixes with bad, so be on your toes. Legal andgovernmental zones might not go well, but yourcareer faces even more opportunity, If you havean ambitious hunch, act on it without delay. Home,family Saturday.

Gemini May 21-June 20: The weeks ahead featureintellectual activities, far travel, love and weddings,cultural projects, higher learning, religion, philosophy,insurance and statistics. The small of these willproceed swiftly, but the big is sluggish, will grow Jan.30 onward. Retreat and rest Sunday: DON’T handlesharp equipment. Your energy, magnetism, sense oftiming and effectiveness soar Monday/Tuesday: startnew projects, declare your love, see and be seen(and heard!). Chase money Wednesday eve to Fridaynoon: open doors and barriers mingle: buy cautiously.Errands and friends, Saturday.

Cancer June 21-July 22: The month aheadfeatures sex, intimacy, high finance (investments,debt, etc.) mysteries and research, health diagnosis,lifestyle changes, commitment and consequence.This area is super-charged now; testosterone is high;so is human attraction. You could be tempted to stray.Investing in (or researching in) your career can yieldbenefits. Sunday’s friendly, happy, but avoid practicalgoals. Retreat to rest, plan, and fulfill old obligationsMonday/Tuesday: you might receive a “gift” foryour charitable or spiritual efforts. Your energy andcharisma soar Wednesday eve to Friday.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The weeks ahead emphasizerelationships, opportunity and opposition, negotiation,dealings with the public, relocation possibilities andfresh new horizons. You feel ambitious Sunday, but anice rest will gain more. Your popularity rises Mondayto Wednesday. Social delights, light romance,entertainment, optimism and wish fulfillment flowin. Someone you meet or woo could be a potential,viable life mate. Retreat Wednesday night to Friday:rest, contemplate, plan, be spiritual, charitable.Your energy, charisma and timing soar Saturday– approach someone to solve a problem.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Sunday’s mellow, loving,but don’t start major projects – contemplate, orread. Be ambitious Monday to Wednesday – greatluck accompanies you. A month of work and healthconcerns has just begun (Jan. 19) and this dovetailssplendidly with your career, prestige and statusdesires. Monday/Tuesday (not so much Wednesday)are one of the prime intervals in this trend – if youwork eagerly, you gain. Approach higher-ups with aplan or proposal those two days. Friends, popularityand optimism visit you Thursday/Friday. Retreatfor some “down time” Saturday. Contemplate lovebarriers.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: A month of romance,creativity, of pleasure, charming children andspeculative urges starts now. Indulge some of thosespeculative urges – you’re on a winning streak!There will be a bump, especially around Jan. 30 (nextweek) – one that might raise the problem of moneyor unequal socio-economic positions. And in general,if you want to turn love into living (i.e., co-habitation)or marriage, you face problems involving domesticity:where you live, or step-kids, etc. Still, you couldhardly pick a better time this decade, to love andmate! Monday/Tuesday show how/why. Lucky!

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Until late February,examine your relationships and projects – jettisonthe old, stale and unworkable, to make room for thenew little green shoots that you now must nurture.Err on the side of gentleness in this, for you aretemperamental all January in domestic and othersituations – “dumping someone” roughly can createa long-term enemy. At home, kindness is key. Ingardening, go light on fertilizer. Sunday’s intriguingbut without result. Sexual urges, mysteries, highfinance, investments, fill Monday-Wednesday –luckily so! Mellow thoughts late week. Be ambitiousSaturday.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: The weeks aheadfill with casual friends, siblings, errands, short trips,communications, details, reports and paperwork.It’s a very busy but not terribly important time. Send“love letters” over the two weeks ahead, both literallyand metaphorically (e.g., the right glance or tone ofvoice is a “letter” also). Tackle routine chores Sunday– nothing big. Relationships excite and are splendidlylucky Monday/Tuesday – be eager to join, diplomatic,flexible: others hold the power. Deeper themes – sex,intimacy, financial commitments – need caution lateweek. Mellow joy Saturday.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The month aheadfeatures money and possessions. You have alreadyexperienced heightened money flows since lateDecember: now these become more serious, as your“net worth” is affected. So it’s very important to stopuseless, nervous or frivolous outflows, and to invest, ifyou do, carefully.The best time to invest for machinery,tools, work is Monday/Tuesday – two great days toapply for employment or begin a project, also. Thebest time for other types of investment (or reducingdebt) is January 27. Sunday’s beautiful but useless.Relationships demand care Thursday/Friday.Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Your energy,effectiveness, timing and charisma reach a yearlyhigh over the next few weeks. Start importantprojects, see and be seen, vie for romance (one ofthe bigger ones of your life seems likely to arrive,or has arrived, between June 2012 and June 2013).Ask favours, they’ll be granted. Sunday’s for rest,period. Romance, a creative surge, charming kids,speculative success, fill a splendidly lucky Monday/Tuesday (and Wednesday, but with little result). Tacklechores Thursday/Friday – keep an eye on safety.Relationships contain a hidden barrier Saturday.Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Withdraw mildly nowto late February. This is your recuperation time ofyear: rest, protect your health, contemplate whereyou stand now and make plans for future action. Becharitable, spiritual – it will come back to you. Youfeel like visiting or communicating Sunday: littleresult. Charge into domestic, real estate, gardening,nutrition, children, security and retirement zonesMonday/Tuesday – you’ll succeed, in major ways!Romantic notions, creative urges and pleasure drivesswell Thursday/Friday, but you might be wise to letthese remain notions only. Tackle chores Saturday.
