The provincial government iscommitted to refusing anywage increase for teachersand other public employees.by Heather [email protected]
B.C.’s Education Minister isreassuring parents in Langley andother school districts that therewon’t be a lengthy teachers’strike this school year.
“It may be a somewhat morechallenging year,” George Abbottadmitted.
Abbott would not say whetherthe province would legislateteachers back to work, only thatthe primary concern is students:“No government in B.C. willstand aside and let schools beclosed for any length of time.”
The BC Teachers’ Federationhas said its members will startwith the first of three phases ofjob action when the school year
starts, with teachers curtailingwhat they are willing to do, suchas paperwork, attending meet-ings, organizing or ordering sup-plies, and supervising detention.
Langley School District hasposted information on its websiteabout the possible job action.
“Langley’s Board of Educationhopes a resolution of contractissues can be achieved withoutjob action taking place,” saidLangley superintendent CheryleBeaumont.
But she noted that contractnegotiations are held provincially,between the BC Public SchoolEmployers Association and theBC Teachers Federation: “Theprocess is beyond Langley SchoolDistrict’s control.”
Abbott said, in response to onesuggested job action, that theLabour Relations Board has ruledthat teachers must take attend-ance, because it’s a safety issue.
The Labour Relations Board hassaid it would rule on further jobaction proposals as they arise.
Talks have not proven to be“very productive,” Abbott notedin a press conference Tuesdaymorning with Fraser Valleymedia. “We will follow this close-ly as it plays out.”
The provincial governmentremains committed tothe BC Liberal man-date for public sectoremployees, Abbott said.
“Certainly there isnothing that will takeus away from a net zeromandate,” he said.
Parents can stayinformed about teach-ers’ job action throughtheir school districtwebsite, as well as viathe teachers’ union foreach school district.
“Before the BCTF commencesjob action it will have to pro-vide 72-hour notice,” Beaumontsaid. “Should that occur thisweek, which would make jobaction possible on the first day ofschool, the district will notify the
public and school communities.”Abbott cited the international
economic downturn and thedefeat of the HST as key fac-tors impacting B.C.’s economy,contract negotiations, and publicspending. He said the provincial
government’s otherspending, such as newschools for quicklygrowing neighbour-hoods, will also beimpacted.
“It is not a timewhen we can beexpansive in ourspending,” he said.
He said the Ministryof Education is work-ing with others in gov-ernment, such as the
province’s Treasury Board andother ministries, to deal with theneed for capital spending such asin the Willoughby Slope area.
“The position of Langley is verymuch like the situation in Surrey,with them being fast-growingcommunities,” he said.

At least one Township councillor maychallenge the mayor’s election this year.by Matthew [email protected]
Long-serving Langley Township CouncillorMel Kositsky said he is seriously thinking ofrunning for the mayor’s chair in November.
“I’m strongly considering it,” Kositskysaid, but he hasn’t yet made up his mind.
The 18-year councillor, who has won sixconsecutive elections, said he was puttingtogether his campaign for a seventh andpeople began asking him whether he wouldrun for the top job.
“I’ll go out and meet with people and talkto them,” Kositsky said, to gauge whetherthere’s enough support for him to run.
“I’ve had a longapprenticeship,”Kositsky said.
Kositsky has been astaunch independent inhis political career, evenrunning as an independ-ent federal candidate inthe 2004 election.
During the past twoand a half years, asMayor Rick Green andthe rest of his counciloften battled verbally,Kositsky has largelystayed out of the fray. After the censurevote, he said the entire issue could havebeen avoided if the council had stuck to itsposition of not responding to anonymousletters.
He was the lone councillor to speak outagainst the censuring of Green in 2010.
Kositsky is also not seen as part of the so-called Six Pack of councillors who have beenamong Green’s most vocal opponents.
As a councillor, Kositsky has servedthrough the era of municipal parties, whenthe Langley Leadership Team dominatedcouncil, and when it clashed with theLangley Citizens Coalition, and he has seenall the slates fall away to be replaced byindependents again.
Green has already announced that he willrun again, and he already faces opponentJack Froese, a farmer and former police offi-cer.

A new male lion is being introduced tothe small pride at the local zoo.by Matthew [email protected]
The newest member of the pride of lionsat the Greater Vancouver Zoo is easing hisway into the affections of the females.
It’s a very slow process, said zoo spokes-person Jody Henderson.
Boomer, a four-year-old adolescent male,arrived from Quebec’s Granby Zoo thisspring.
He spent 30 days in quarantine, and hassince then been near, but not with, the twofemale lions.
“They’re still getting used to one
another,” said Henderson.That means that Boomer and the females
are both being swapped in and out of theoutdoor cage they share. For much of theday, they are separated by a fence.
It’s giving them time to work out issuesof dominance before they share physicalspace.
Staff hope they are soon calm enough toall live together.
Unlike other big cats such as tigers orjaguars, lions are not solitary. They live ingroups, typically with one male and severalfemales.
The Greater Vancouver Zoo’s two lion-esses have been without a male sinceNagy, the longtime head of the pride, wasdiagnosed with incurable cancer and putdown in January.

Our View
Safety entersnew dimension
Traffic safety concerns centred on kidsreturning to school are essentially the sameas they have been for the past many dec-ades.
Population pressures and demographicshifts may have altered some of the details,but basically, parents still need to impresson their children the importance of exercis-ing caution in the press of vehicles they willencounter at and on their way to and fromschool.
Drivers still need to watch out for kidswho may be excited – and a bit careless,despite their parents’ cautions – in theirenthusiasm to renew acquaintances andfriendships and generally get back into theschool routine.
Kids who are riding bicycles still needto understand the rules of the road, wearappropriate headgear, and be extra carefulwhile motorists get used to the changingtraffic conditions that back-to-school creates.
Health safety concerns haven’t changedmuch either, since even the oldest amongus were youngsters. There’s more of anemphasis on concern for childhood obesity,but once again, parents are still generallyconcerned about food safety and nutritionalvalue of the meals their youngsters need tomake it through a day in the classroom.
But there is a relatively new safety dimen-sion to consider, one with which manyadults are less familiar than their children:electronic safety.
Make sure you kids understand howimportant it is to keep personal information– and electronic personal information devices– safe at school. Make sure their devices areproperly password-protected, and that pass-words aren’t being inappropriately shared.
Be careful of the information stored ortransmitted on electronic devices that arevulnerable to hackers and thieves.
The new dangers might not be as poten-tially deadly as darting in front of a car – butthey can be devastating, nonetheless.

I’ve been getting up early three or four daysa week these last few weeks. The dawn light isstill grey and diffuse when I drag myself out ofbed, but I get up anyway.
I really love going for bike rides. Wait, let mequalify that. I do not love riding in cold rain,sleet, hail, freezing temperatures, or blusterywind. I’ve ridden in all of those (hail makesan alarming noise on the top ofa plastic helmet) so I speak fromexperience. But when the weatheris just right, it’s my favourite formof exercise. For me, it’s actually alot of fun, unlike jogging, which isan inexpensive form of torture, oryoga, which is an expensive formof torture.
You may recall that the weather earlier thisMay – and June and July – was less thanideal. For many weeks in a row, the west windand his buddies decided it would be funnyto channel every rain cloud from the NorthPacific directly over the Lower Mainland.
But the last couple of weeks, the sun hascome up, the clouds have burned off, and thedays have turned clear. The mornings are coolbut not cold, the pavement is dry.
So I’m cramming in as much bike riding asI can. I’m tiring myself out a bit with all thisriding. But I can’t stop. Because there’s a voicein the back of my mind that keeps remindingme to carpe the darned diem. ’Cause the diemis fleeting.
Make no mistake, we are on the downhillslope. The days are getting shorter, the nightslonger. I saw a few trees with a tint of orangein the leaves the other day. Autumn is on theway. And then we’ll be back to rain, and dark-ness, and that moment in February when wesnap and sacrifice a Mrs. Butterworth bottleon the altar of the Shiny Pancake God, praying
that he brings back the sun.Or maybe that’s just me.The whole idea of seizing the day gets more
frantic if you actually think about what youcan miss by sitting in front of the TV, or sleep-ing in every morning.
I missed the Perseid meteor shower this year.I think I saw one shooting star last year.
Think about what a shooting star is. Ameteor is a piece of the solar system that’sbeen swirling around the sun for hundreds ofmillions of years. Yet thanks to it’s unavoidablemeeting with the upper atmosphere of Earth, ittumbles into our gravity well, burning brightlyfor just a moment after uncounted centuriesspent in the cold of space. All we see, if we
see it, is a streak of white light.It’s there; it’s gone.
How much more wondrousis it that we evolved the abil-ity to see this – our brains arecomplex enough to understandwhat a meteor is, even thoughthey’re made of what amountsto little more than chemically
complex electrified Jell-O – which sees theoutside world through cameras made of moreJell-O. And yet, we can see and comprehendan annual shower of shooting stars.
So this year I stayed inside and missed it.Normally, I just brush it off, thinking that
I’ll try to catch it next year. Then I realizethat, even if I dedicated my life to seeing everyPerseid shower every year, and if I live to be100, I’ll still see less than 70.
Fewer, if it’s cloudy some years.I’m going to die someday. Hopefully, a long
time from now, in human terms, but in thespan of the universe, in the measurement oforbits around our sun, it’s not going to be thatlong before I’m dust.
And that’s the real reason to set the alarmand get up and do it. Get on the bike, playwith the dog, read a great book, talk to an oldfriend, go on an adventure. Jog, if you must.
Time’s arrow is flying, one direction only, nosecond shot.Visit Matthew Claxton’s blog, Evolving Langley, at http://tiny.cc/A0D3W

Painful truth
LangleyAdvance | Thu r sday, Sep t embe r 1 , 2011 | A7Opinion
Dear Editor,There was once a street named “Quiet.”
It existed many years ago in numeroustowns across this land. The happy soundsof children were often heard, but usuallysubsided after the supper hour.
The occasional old banger, a Ford,Chevy, Pontiac, Essex or Buick would cre-ate an audience as cars were rare.
Lawn mowers made a pleasant clickingsound as they were manually maneuveredacross the lawns. Leaves fluttered as thewhisking quiet of a broom was applied totheir shriveled forms.
In winter, the only sound as snow waspushed to clear a path was the occasionalscrape of the blade of the shovel.
I must mention today’s traffic as well.It seems as if youthful drivers need theaccompanying thudding of drums to keepthem awake as they drive. You can tellthey’re approaching long before they hoveinto view. Their thumping remains longafter they’ve gone.
But even these drumming maniacs paleinto insignificance compared to somemotorcyclists.
These types all seem to have enormousbellies and tiny helmets attached to small-ish heads.
Their exhaust pipes are extolled to prod-uce the loudest sound possible, which theyoften enhance by shifting up or down in an
ear-splitting racket of roaring sound.Along our street, everybody seems to
own the latest equipment to make lifeeasier, and to pollute the silence – thosewonderful contraptions for washing yourimmediate world, for instance, the pressurewasher. Somebody always seems to haveone going within earshot, and this sym-phony of unpleasant noise is often joinedby the noisiest item of all, the leaf blower.
All these most modern of necessities arejoined by a host of electric and gas-drivenappliances, tools, and trimmers.
Being old, I don’t own any of the itemsmentioned above.
But I don’t escape pristinely clean, either.I well remember the one morning march
down 99th Avenue in Calgary. I’d inviteda gang of British soldiers from a famousHighland Regiment to my home after ashow they’d performed at the Legion. Asthe night and whiskey progressed intoearly morning, we thought it a great ideaif we showed the neighbourhood what wecould do.
Pipers and drummers, led by myself,paraded up and down the street as lightsin previously darkened homes blazed andfaces peered into the night to see what wasgoing on.
I was not a well-liked neighbour forsome time.

‘Quiet’ distant memory
Dear Editor,Councillor Steve Ferguson
attempts to revise therecent Township of Langleytax history [Bateman’senergy will be missed,Aug. 30 Letters, LangleyAdvance].
He lauds the recentlydeparted Councillor JordanBateman for his commit-ment to the budgetaryprocess and their collective
“diligent” work as membersof the finance task force.
Mr. Fox, in his recentannouncement of his inten-tion to stand for re-election,states his commitment tohold tax increases to therate of inflation.
I would point out thatthese three charter mem-bers of the infamous Gangof Six (now Five) and theircolleagues were responsible
for tax increases in the lasttwo budgets of more thantwice the rate of inflation.They fought the concept ofa finance task force, andstaunchly rejected all of itsrecommendations.
Mr. Ferguson stated atthe time that staff’s budgetrequests were reasonableand justified because “theywouldn’t ask for the moneyif they didn’t need it.”
All of these councillorspursued the very costly too-early-too-fast replacementof paid on call firefight-ers. We now have a veryexpensive, well-equipped,efficient full-time firefight-ing system over a largearea, with no fire hydrants– a very costly cart beforethe horse, at taxpayers’expense.
All of these councillorsfiercely ignored the loudsupport for reasonable andlow tax increases.
They legislated ratesdouble the rate of inflation,ignoring the concerns ofconstituents.
The remaining Gangof Five can’t be allowedto revise history, as theycower in the glare of theirrecord as we approach theirreplacement in the impend-ing election.

Marijuana
Pot persecution unjustDear Editor,
I can’t be the only non-user who is fed up with the per-secution of medical marijuana outlets by police [Clientsfume over marijuana loss, Aug. 30, Langley Advance].
The clients of these medical distribution centres comewith a prescription referred by a doctor. Therefore, thepolice are subordinating a legal medical health concern toan arcane statute that continues to rob the B.C. coffers ofliterally billions of dollars in untaxed revenue.
The ridiculous, outmoded fear behind it all was recentlyunderscored in an advertisement titled: “Get Paid to GrowMarijuana” about a UBC seminar, with topics such ascomplying with laws and regulations for medical use.
Police and politicians should not get away with usingthe defence that growers are liable to break-ins, etc.,because that argument could be made to shut down phar-macies or even banks, who also occasionally are robbedfor their wares.
In the land of uncommon sense, many peaceable, non-criminal, ordinary citizens who enjoy an occasional smokewith friends or know of it and do not disapprove aremotionless, while the best possible usage of this naturalherb is disallowed for those who need it most.
This is unacceptable.In the future, any political party or politician who gets
my vote will have to speak to this untenable situation.Eli Bryan Nelson, Langley

Two young artistsmake their streetmuch brighter.
by Heather [email protected]
They knew it wouldn’tlast forever but twoyoung Langley art-ists said they stillenjoyed turning thestreet in front of theirBrookswood home intoan art canvas.
Adria and BrielleQuon spent many hoursaround Aug. 20-25 cre-ating a dreamy chalk-artworld.
The 10-year-old twinsstarted making draw-ings on Sunday but arare heavy August rainwashed away that draft.
Then they sat down andplanned out a work for theirstreet-sized canvas.
“Kind of the idea was tohave a city and a countryand a house and a nice rain-bow road through it,” Brielleexplained.
It’s an understatement tosay they got wrapped up inthe project. The mural endedup covering the street for thedistance of about two proper-ties.
On one day, they were out
drawing from nine in the mor-ning until daylight failed themat about nine at night.
After each stint of creativity,the girls would head indoorswith shins, hands and facescovered in chalk dust. Thegirls admit they were sur-prised how much dust foundits way to their faces.
The Quon children have abig inducement to be active,creative, and most of all, out-doors.
Little Patrice, their youngersister, let the secret out of thebag – the house rule is that if
the children stay indoors, theyhave to help with chores.
Not that the girls need muchencouragement to play outsidein the tight-knit neighbour-hood. They are two of sevenchildren in the family andthere are other young familieson the street to play with.
Their art garnered attentionfrom various sources.
A man who often walks hisdog down the street stoppedand took a photo using hiscellphone.
The Quons have spottedpeople following the rainbow
path down the street.When the girls were
just about done theirproject, water was onceagain threatening theirart.
“The truck that cleansthe road came by,”explained Brielle.
Last Thursday mor-ning, residents looked out tosee a municipal street sweeperswing onto the street withbrushes brushing and waterflowing.
Neighbours and two youngartists breathed a sigh of reliefwhen the sweeper pulledup his brushes, shut off thewater, and swung aroundwithout harming the chalk art.
Sure, Mother Nature willsoon make the massive muralbut a memory but the twinsstill had a good time creatingtheir rainbow road.

Langley Townshipis seeing increasingnumbers of housingstarts.
by Matthew [email protected]
It’s a banner year forhomebuilding so far inLangley Township, withthe local industry seem-ingly recovered from theslowdown that followedthe recession.
“This year we are alittle bit busier than previ-ous years,” said RobertCesaretti, a manager ofpermits and licensing atTownship hall.
Construction in Langleyis still rebounding fromthe recession and housingslump that hit at the tailend of 2008 and throughmuch of 2009.
That saw housing con-struction grind to a halt forseveral months.
In 2011, however, thepace is still picking up.
This year, from Januaryto the end of July, theTownship recorded 496single family housingstarts, up from 330 in thesame time last year.
In the first seven monthsof 2011, there were 178
multifamily starts, up from163 in 2010.
Of the single familyhousing starts, a largeproportion are not theconstruction of full newhomes. A significant num-ber are the addition of sec-ondary suites, which arecounted under the singlefamily housing label.
In addition to housingstock, Cesaretti said thatthere have been some sig-nificant commercial build-
ing projects that are bring-ing up the numbers.
Single-family housingstill outstrips the numberof multi-family housingunits being built. A largernumber of condos andtownhouses have beenstarted in Langley overthe past few years, catch-ing up with the number ofindividual homes.
Cesarettie expects thatthe Township will surpass400 multi-family housing
units constructed by theend of the year.
While homes are beingbuilt in ones or twosall over Langley, and indevelopment clusters inFort Langley, Murrayville,and Walnut Grove, mostof the activity is still inone neighbourhood.
“It’s the Willoughby-Yorkson area,” saidCesaretti. “That’s ourmajor development arearight now.”

More housing built in 2011 so far
Roxanne Hooper/Langley Advance
Condos and townhouses, like these in Fort Langley, are going up all over Langley, along with single family homes.The Township is seeing a steady rise in the number of homes built as the economy continues to recover from thebrief housing bust two years ago.

Langley Township has added newbike lanes to roads in Murrayville.
by Matthew [email protected]
The network of bike lanes in LangleyTownship grew a little longer last week,with lanes in Murrayville being painted.
Sections of 223rd Street and 48thAvenue, south of Fraser Highway, weremarked with white bike lanes to help
keep cars and bikes separate.The lanes are part of the ongoing
increase in the Township’s bike lane net-work.
According to Township staff, otherareas to be marked out this year includeparts of 96th Avenue in Walnut Grove,and sections of Fraser Highway betweenLangley City and Murrayville.
The Fraser Highway sections alreadyhave a paved shoulder, so much of thework will simply be adding signs indicat-ing that the shoulder is a bike lane.

Langley Thunderadvance toMann Cup!
There are many ways to recognize excellence withinthe Langley business community.
There’s the upcoming Greater Langley Chamber ofCommerce business awards that are presented eachDecember.
There are many different forms of acknowledgementby industry peers, and of course, the very obvious tell-tale sign that a business is doing something right is thelevel of return patronage.
But I took part in another very popular method ofrecognition this week, called the Langley Advance’s 14thannual Best of the Best awards ceremony.
Set against the pristine backdrop of The Redwoods golfcourse, about a hundred or so Langley business ownersand staff – just some of this year’s winners – came outto be recognized. If you missed it, check all the winnerslisted inside Tuesday’s edition of the Langley Advance’s
Best of the Best special feature.Advance publisher Ryan McAdams lauded their efforts
in customer service and satisfaction during Tuesday’scelebration.
“Langley Advance readers are our customers, and they’re
also your customers. It’s these customers who tell useach year, with their ballots, who are the best of thebest. This group here today is the best in their categor-ies,” McAdams said. “Congratulations on your achieve-ment.”
This year’s group of winners was made up of a widespectrum of local businesses, some of them returnfavourites and some first-time winners, he elaborated.
Kudos are definitely deserved by all the winners andrunners up in each of the 112 different categories.
Unfortunately, I don’t have the time or space toexpound on all the virtues of each winner, but I wantto draw your attention to two restaurants – which I’vebeen a patron of over the years – which stood out atTuesday’s event.
The first was Kosta’s Greek Restaurant, which for theninth time in its 12-year history, was crowned the bestGreek restaurant in Langley.
“It’s a wonderful advertisement for the restaurant,”said owner Bozena Pappas.
She was on-hand to receive a plaque that she said willbe proudly hung in a prominent position at the front ofher establishment – next to all the others received inprevious years.

Summer Maintenance ofRural Boulevards and DitchesThe Township of Langley provides an annual mowing program thatmaintains Township-owned roadway boulevards and rural roadwayditches. This ongoing program covers approximately 3,500 kmof roadside sections and is responsible for weed control, qualityappearance, and maintenance of sightlines at intersections.
During the spring/summer months, two roadside mowers and twobrushwackers are assigned to predetermined routes to ensure thateach area/section is completed at least twice during this period.
Requests by residents and businesses for mowing and brushwackingare recorded then included in this seasonal program. To attend toindividual requests would require reassigning the equipment, whichwould reduce the Township’s ability to complete all areas/sections.
We appreciate your patience, understanding, and cooperation as weschedule your requests into our program work.

…continued from A11“People come in, and they see our
wall, and they say ‘Look, look, I toldyou they’re the best’,” Pappas said,noting it’s a combination of theirfood and service that customers con-stantly rave about.
“It’s like a pat on the shoulder thatwe’re doing something right,” shesaid of the Best of the Best awards.“That’s the most important thing tous.”
Kostas has come a long ways fromthe early days when Bozena and herhusband Kosta worked, with verylittle sleep and the aid of only threestaff, to operate the restaurant sevendays a week.
Times were tough back then forthe newlywed immigrants who cameto Canada almost 19 years ago.Unable to find work, due in part toKostas’ limited English, the couplesunk their life savings into an eth-nic restaurant on the main drag ofLangley. This restaurant, located at20080 Fraser Hwy., now employs 15people, is always bustling with activ-ity, and is among this writer’s favfive local eateries.
Also in attendance at Tueday’sshindig were two more restaurateurswho have been rewarded six of thepast seven years they’ve been oper-ating in Langley.
Congratulations were literallyheaped on Jamal and VahidenHakimian, owners of Pasta Pollo,this year.
This one restaurant won in threecategories, and was runner up in afourth, in this year’s awards compe-tition determined by votes cast by
Advance readers.Pasta Pollo took top honours and
individual plaques in the Italian,pasta, and pizza restaurant categor-ies, and scooped up a runners-upplacement in the family restaurantcategory.
“It means we’re trying out best togive the best quality and quantity offood to the Langley people… and it’sbeing recognized,” said Jamal, who’salso been running another restaurantin Coquitlam for the past 11 years.
The Langley restaurant, locatedon Willowbrook Drive, is one of theonly establishments in the LowerMainland to serve organic pasta,and Hakimians changed the menulast year to add more variety. Theybelieve this week’s honours wereproof those changes are appreciatedby their clientele.
“We put out 100 per cent to makeit better, and better everyday,” Jamalsaid, holding up the plaques. “Thisis our reward. Thank you.”

Annual event
Counting down tofree studio tourMore locations, including a few newstops of interest, will open for viewing.
by Roxanne [email protected]
It wasn’t that long ago that artists workedalmost completely in isolation, burrowed awayin their studio only to emerge publicly whenan appearance at an gallery opening or art
show was required.And even less frequently would people ever be
invited into the inner sanctum of an artist’s hol-low.
But that old-school thinking is just that. Today,many local artists have galleries in their home orsell directly out of their home studio, as well asgalleries and public sales.
Well, a team of local artists is well into the plan-ning of Langley’s third annual art studio tour,where art lovers are being invited in to 17 work-ing studios to meet 43 juried artists and to glean agreater appreciation for what goes into the creativemix for Langley painters, potters, sculptors, glassartists, printmakers, and jewelers.
The free tour is set for Sept. 24 and 25, as wellas Oct. 1 and 2, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.
There’s a lot of new artists aboard this year andorganizers Deborah Strong and Vivian Harder areexcited and overwhelmed by the event’s growth.
A map outlining the locations will be availablesoon at www.langleyartstudiotour.ca.
• Stay tuned to the Langley Advance print and online editions for moreon the upcoming art studio tour.
ZZ Top tribute
Readers can win tickets to seeFandangozz play on Sept. 9.by Roxanne [email protected]
Drum sticks are more like anappendage rather than acces-sories for Clayton Heights’resident Scotty McCargar, who
has made his career pounding the skins.Through the years, this local drummer
has played with the likes of Bif Naked,Age of Electric and an off-shoot bandcalled Static in Stereo, Southern DeathThreat, and Strapping Young Lad.
But more recently, when not doingstudio work or jamming with friends ina few weekend cover bands, McCargar iskicking it with Fandangozz.
This is a relatively new ZZ Top Tributeband that just so happens to be perform-ing in the drummer’s neck of the woodslater this month.
Fandangozz is playing a tribute concerton Friday, Sept. 9 at the Cascades CasinoSummit Theatre, and McCargar (nick-named Scotty Sexx) said it’s one of hisfirst-ever hometown shows.
McCargar actually just joined the group
about four weeks ago, but said he was aFandangozz fan before long before that.
“This is probably one of the best ZZTop tribute bands I’ve ever seen,” hesaid. “They have the guitars. They havethe costumes. They have the beards.They have the moves. They have it all…and I’ve been around the block a fewtimes, you could say. I know what’ I’mtalking about. I was impressed.”
So impressed, in fact, that whenapproached to join the trio as ZZ Top’s“Frank,” he jumped at the chance.
“When we first played together, it was‘wow!’ Incredible,” McCargar said.
Even though he’s only a few weeks in,he’s even more impressed by the chem-istry – on and off stage – that’s comesince hooking up with Barry (Digger)Ewart who plays the ZZ Top guitarplayer, “Billy,” and Jason (JD) Dickiewho performs as the band’s bass player,“Dusty.”
“We’re three jackass Canadians,” hesaid, noting the one-liner jokes tossedaround when travelling between showsin their 1990s “band van” have kept himin stitches non-stop.
McCargar first began drumming at ayoung age.
“I started to play about six or seven,beating on the pots and pans,” he said,recalling that he and his sister and broth-er often put on lip sync concerts in theirbasement while Dad videotaped.
By age 10, he and his older brotherDave started their first no-name band,and played their first concert at school.
“I played my first concert and signedmy first autograph when I was 10 yearsold, and I couldn’t even spell. Take thatTommy Lee.”
McCargar hasn’t looked back, and isloving his life as a professional musician.
“I pretty much haven’t had to work aday job for 20 years,” said the 40-year-old. “I’m just having tons of fun with it.”

Questions & Answers
Dear Anne“I’m working on a ‘waste-
land that was covered withdevil’s guts in our backyard.I’ve dug up most of theroots. I don’t want to growanything there.“I plan to cover the
ground with play-sand.Is that a good idea? Thensheets of fabric. Is a singlelayer enough? Or more?Then bark mulch. Howthick? I really want to winthis battle with the devil.“Please help.”
Dennis Chan, via email
At least one kind ofweed can come upthrough landscapefabric – especially
the more loosely woven fab-rics. Couch grass (which hasneedle-like root tips) defin-itely comesthrough.The onlyway topreventit is byremov-ing everyscrap ofroot.
I don’t think severalsheets of landscape fabricwould be any more effectivethan one against the typeof weed that can piercethrough. The only layer Ihave found truly effectiveagainst all weeds (ones thatshoot up through and onesthat root down into it) isblack plastic.
Unfortunately, black plas-tic has problems, too. It gets
brittle with age, holds waterin low spots and looksugly unless covered. Barkmulch on black plastic rotsunusually fast.
Your proposed solution,using landscape fabric, isquite workable. Since mor-ning glory (aka devil’s guts)shoots are soft and pliable,I don’t think they’ll shootthrough – but they’ll makea mighty effort to escapearound the sides.
That’s why it would bebest to check the edges ofyour sand/fabric/mulchpatch frequently, so youcan pull any stray shoots.
Sand under the landscapefabric is a good idea. It willeven out the ground andmake an excellent base –
and whileyou’regoing toall thatwork,youmightas wellmake the
landscapefabric a double layer.
Three inches of barkmulch should be anadequate topping.
But you need to knowthat weed seeds will blowinto it – so you won’t beentirely free of weeding. ADutch hoe should keep themulch stirred up enoughthat weeds won’t set rootsdown into the fabric.
As sand and gravel
mulches age, they alsobecome vulnerable to air-borne weed seeds. Leavesblow onto them in fall,dead needles migrate fromconifer trees, and in strongwinds, soil can drift in. Thismeans any mulch you mightchoose may need a smallamount of weeding at times.
But all this is far lesstrouble than coping with alarge mass of devil’s guts.Dear Anne,“Are hollyhocks biennial
plants? I planted one inearly summer. The plantgrew tall, with lots of bigleaves but no flowers. Doesmy soil contain too muchnitrogen?”
Heidi Hilmar, email
Hollyhocks are oneof those confusingperennials that may
flower the first year if seedis sown early. But usu-ally, they make vegetativegrowth the first year andflower in the second.
Your plant is behavingaccording to the natureof hollyhocks. Too muchnitrogen is unlikely to be afactor. I’m sure you’ll get
flowers next year.Older varieties of holly-
hocks can get bad rustproblems on their leaves.Planting them in a warm,sunny spot can reduce it,but there is also a variety,called ‘Antwerp,’ which issaid to be rust-resistant.
Weed control is an ongoing problem

I don’t think they’ll shootthrough – but they’ll make
a mighty effort to escapearound the sides.

Back-to-school safety
Days are busy, schedules are hectic,and you need to take the kids toschool then get to work.
So does every parent.Children will be heading back to school
on Sept. 6, and officials are reminding par-ents and all other motorists to watch out foryoungsters and obey the rules of the road,especially around schools.
“Enforcing these laws is not a cashgrab, it’s not done to randomly inconven-ience people – it’s to keep kids safe,” saidTownship of Langley bylaw manager BillStorie. “In their rush to drop off and pick uptheir children, parents sometimes forget thatlaws are in place to protect all children.”
During the back-to-school season,Township bylaw officers will maintain apresence at local schools to ensure drivers
do not park in No Parking zones.Langley RCMP will also enforce the
30km/h speed limits in school zonesbetween 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Bylaw officer Simon Jottey, hired in Junespecifically for traffic enforcement, said theeasiest way to keep kids safe when headingback to school is to reduce the number ofcars in the area.
“If you live fairly close by and have side-walks, walk or bike your kids to school,” hesaid. “It may be convenient – and a habit– to take the car, but walking or bikingnot only cuts down on traffic congestion, itprovides good exercise and is better for theenvironment.”
Those who drive their kids to schooltend to have many excuses for violating NoParking rules. The most common is: “But I
will just be a second.”But no excuses will be accepted, Storie
said. No Parking signs and yellow curblines are there because ofrestricted visibility, andto prevent childrenfrom running intotraffic as they crossthe street to a wait-ing vehicle.
He added that cars inrestricted areas are illegal-ly parked, even if the driver is inside.
“It is true that some of our schools werenot built to accommodate the traffic that isnow coming to them,” he said, “but thatdoes not give people the right to park inrestricted areas. They are restricted for ourchildren’s safety. That is paramount.”
Ineke Schuurman, the Township’s trafficsafety coordinator, said people get lost inthe hustle and bustle of their busy days and
do things that are quick andconvenient, but also unsafe.
“Parents need to remem-ber that it’s not just theirchild who is important,” shesaid. “What about the childbehind you, and the fourbehind him? It’s not justabout you and your family:
it’s about other children, as well.”Jottey, who has seen motorists double-
park and block off other vehicles while thedriver “ran inside the school for just a min-ute,” said common sense needs to prevail.
Those caught violating traffic laws in andaround schools will be ticketed.
No excuses acceptable for school zone parking violators
“Enforcing these laws is nota cash grab, it’s not done to
randomly inconvenience people.”BILL STORIE

Nutritious snacks for school
Here we are once again at the startof another school year. Packingkids’ lunches is a chore for many,and sometimes nutritional value
gets overshadowed by heavily marketedconvenience foods.
School-time snacks and lunches are notexactly “gourmet cuisine,” but I do getasked occasionally for some healthy ideas.So this column is my salute to parents whoare willing to say “no” to pre-packaged,high-preservative foods for their children.
Nuts are a nutritious option, as longas allergies aren’t a concern. Nuts area good source of protein and a greatsource of unsaturated fat (the good kind).Unsaturated fats – the ones that are liquidat room temperature – help reduce levels ofLDL-cholesterol (bad cholesterol) withoutlowering HDL-cholesterol (the good one).
Nuts also offer lots of variety: almonds,cashews, peanuts, etc., and some are avail-able with different flavourings.
Fresh fruit is an obvious choice, but makesure it is something that the kids enjoy, toincrease the probability of consumption!Fruit can be made more tempting withsome preparation prep ahead of time. Forexample, a cut and/or peeled orange ismuch easier to eat than a whole orange.
Make it interesting – don’t always sendthe same fruit. Once in a while, pack someberries, seasonal fruit, or something exotic,like kiwi or star fruit.
The ease of eating dried fruit makes it anattractive option as well. There are so manynaturally dried fruit options that do not con-tain additional sugar, that it is easy to makelunch interesting, and they are healthiersubstitutions for pre-packaged fruit rolls.
Carbohydrate-type snack options couldbe granola bars or popcorn. When buyinggranola bars, read the ingredients, to mon-itor the preservatives and refined sugar.Chocolate-covered bars defeat the purposeof making a healthy choice to begin with.Also, the harder granola bars are usuallyhealthier than the softer ones. Popcorn,as long as it not drenched in butter, is agreat option and a good source of fibre. Itis obviously okay (and recommended) thatour children consume fat in their diets, as itis all part of brain development. Fat intakeshould be monitored, but not eliminated.
Whole-wheat crackers are another healthyoption. Read labels, but they a perfectopportunity to replace amounts of whiteflour with whole wheat. For those whohave time, there are cracker recipes thatcan be prepared at home, with the children.
The appeal of whole-wheat crackers willbe greater, with the pride that comes withmaking them.
Throw in some cheese slices – dairy prod-ucts – along with some lean meat slices ortuna salad for homemade “snack-packs”.
I am not a dietitian, and these sugges-tions are merely that. I feel that is our jobas parents to keep educated. Contacting adietitian, for proper moderations for yourchildren’s balanced diets of all the foodgroups, is highly recommended.

Langley Centennial Museum
Painter Judy Vanderveen wasthe peoples choice winner forher farm-themed painting.
by Roxanne [email protected]
Roughly 250 people cast theirvote, and Langley artist JudyVanderveen emerged tri-umphant in an art contest of
sorts held this summer at the LangleyCentennial Museum.
The Fort Langley facility dedicatedits 1,500-square-foot gallery to displaya truly Fraser Valley exhibit calledHooves, Ploughs, and Planting Fields.
The juried agricultural-themed showopened in mid-June and closed lastweek.
During its run, hundreds of peopletook an opportunity to view more than50 pieces of art, said arts and heritagecurator Kobi Christian.
“There is such a broad range ofworks in this show; every artistreceived votes, which shows we alllike something a little different and fordifferent reasons,” Christian said.
The exhibit featured a broad spec-
trum of media and images, includingpainting, drawings, fabric arts, andcarvings that feature horses, cows, andagricultural scenes and equipment.
But Vanderveen’s painting calledThe Friesians secured the most votesand earned this artist the people’schoice award, while Seonok (Carrie)Lee, also of Langley, earned runner-upstatus for her painting entitled Restingon the Bush.
“Some pieces really struck a chordwith some visitors, and maybe not somuch for others… I like both of theimages that won very much – both art-ists are very talented,” Christian said.
“And there are some other images inthe show that I really like, too. But Ididn’t vote,” she added.
The next show is Earth FormedWater Rendered, an art show featur-ing the works of the Fraser ValleyWatercolour Society and Fraser ValleyPotters Guild. That show opens thisweekend.
This show runs until Dec. 20, withan opening reception on Monday,Sept. 12, 7 to 9 p.m.
The museum is located at 9135 KingSt. in Fort Langley. For more informa-tion about the exhibits and other dis-plays, visit langleymuseum.org.

Filming
A movie shot in FortLangley and MapleRidge features somebig name stars, andhas something foreveryone.
Locals who catch ashowing of the newfilm Daydream Na-tion may recognize
some familiar sights.Fort Langley featured
prominently as the back-drop, and the halls andclassrooms of WestviewSecondary, across theFraser River, were used asthe school in a small townwhere an industrial fireburns ceaselessly and a ser-ial killer is claiming youngvictims.
Daydream Nation, star-ring Kat Dennings, AndieMcDowell, and Josh Lucas,was shot entirely in MapleRidge and Langley, and pro-ducer Christine Haebler saidthey were delighted with thevenues.
“FortLangley,specifically,representeda smalltown,” shesaid. “It wasthe closestone that waspicturesqueenough andhad every-thing we needed.”
And they had looked at alot of different locations.
In Maple Ridge, the crewfilmed at Westview and ata house which was used forone of the main character’shomes.
“Loved it, loved it, lovedit,” said Haebler of theexperience of filming in thetwo close communities. “Itwas a real eye-opener forme, because I had neverreally worked out there.”
“The whole crew werejust blown away by thegenerosity of Maple Ridgeand the communities,” sheadded. “It was great tomake a Canadian film.”
She said the studentsfrom Westview were usedas extras in the high school,and other locals also playedextras in various locations.
“We wanted to maintain acertain air of authenticity,”said Haebler. “We also tried
to be as low-impact as pos-sible.”
Filming was slated tostart late last year, butdue to one actor losing hisgrandfather, his role had tobe recast and filming wasrescheduled from January 8to February 9.
Despitethe setback,Haebler saidonce filmingbegan, “wewere like atrain.”
DaydreamNation tellsthe story of17-year-oldCarolineWexler (Kat
Dennings), who moves fromthe city to a small townwhere nothing seems tohappen except for the serialkiller on the loose.
When Wexler realizesshe has nothing in commonwith the permanently stonedkids that populate her newhigh school, she sets hersights on the one person sheconnects with – her hand-some young teacher, BarryAnderson (Josh Lucas).
Meanwhile her classmate,Thurston Goldberg (ReeceThompson), has fallenhopelessly in love withher and enlists the help ofhis mother, Enid (AndieMacDowell) to get him pastCaroline’s over-protectivefather (Ted Whittall).
Haebler said that althoughthe film was thought tomainly appeal to youngeraudiences, those of an olderdemographic have alsoshown appreciation.
“For adults, they rec-ognize it as a teenageanthem,” she said. “It’sdefinitely North American,”she added, “but I heardcomments such as ‘thatstuff happened in our highschool’ from people in their50s now.”
“It does have that teenageanthem aspect to it,” saidHaebler, “and as a result itmight stick around.”
Daydream Nation isalready in some theatres,and was scheduled to bereleased on DVD in Canadain June.
Daydream packs a local punch

March 26, 1959 – Otter Hall had a “for sale” sign tacked onto it.Built in 1889 by W.D. Poppy, it served as a community centre cateringto church services, dances, receptions, library exchanges, councilmeetings, community affairs, etc. for 70 years. In 1925, Mr. Poppydonated the hall to the newly formed Otter Improvement Association,and four years later, the provincial department of public works movedit from the high knoll east of Otter Road (248th Street) when thehighway was relocated. It was up for sale because community interesthad dwindled. The building was closed to public use, except as ameeting place for Scouts and Cubs, until a buyer was to be found.

Expect a trimmed-downversion of the LangleyLabour Day Michael J. SmithMemorial Tournament, tak-ing place over the holidaylong weekend.
Commonly known as theLLDT, the 13th annual eventis expected to draw 61 youthsoccer teams, down more than50 per cent from the 2010 tour-nament.
Chair Jim Shopland citedincreased competition from othertournaments, as well as what hecalls “significant changes to thestructure of the metro/gold levelswith the introduction of the EASports BC Premier League begin-ning in September,” as the mainreasons for this year’s lowerturnout.
As usual, there are more girlsthan boys competing in a tourna-ment featuring house to metroteams ranging in ages from U11to U18.
“The teams are split 60 percent girls and 40 per cent boys,”Shopland said.
Games will be played on sportsfields across the Langleys fromSaturday, Sept. 3, to Labour DayMonday, Sept. 5.
Of the teams involved, nine arefrom this area, including eightgirls entries from Langley and aboys side from Aldergrove.
A total of 13 squads are com-ing from outside of the LowerMainland, including one fromEdmonton, one from Salt SpringIsland, three from the Okanagan,and eight from Prince George.
Fewer teams means less greenspace is needed to accommodatethe tournament. Fifteen fields,about half of what is normallyused, will serve as playinggrounds for the entries.
While the tournament formathas not changed, a few altera-
tions were necessary due to thelower number of teams. All U11/U12 8v8 games will be playedon the new artificial turf atWilloughby.
Last year, these games were inAldergrove at the 8v8 fields setup for the BC Summer Games,hosted by Langley Township.
Another big change on theorganizing side has the LLDTmoving its main operations areafrom the McLeod Athletic Park(MAP) grandstand to WilloughbyCommunity Park and theWilloughby Community Centre.
“Over the past few years,with the increase in fields atWilloughby Community Park, ithas allowed us to concentratethe soccer games in this area,”Shopland said. “Although theMAP grandstand was a greatset-up for us, there has beenpressure with the growth of foot-ball – American [style] football
– focusing [its] resources atMAP.”
According to Shopland,local soccer groups are nowexploring the construc-tion of a fieldhouse atWilloughby that wouldallow them to move themajority of their oper-ations to Willoughby,while freeing up spacefor football at MAP.
Shopland is one ofeight LLDT directors.Helping him put the13th tourney togetheris Michelle Field,Diane Wakelin,Toni Burgess, CindyAndal, JenniferPower, RonMacWilliams, andTed Williams,who is new to thecommittee thisyear.
All of theothers have been
involved with the tournament forat least two years.
This year marks the end ofan era as Shopland steps asidenext year to make way for a newchair.
He took on the role after long-time chair Michael Smith, whothe tournament is named after,died unexpectedly just prior tothe start of the 2006 event.
“I have enjoyed every minuteof my time as part of the LLDT,”Shopland said.
Shopland initially becameinvolved with the tournament in’03 when he was asked by thethen-president of the LangleyGirls Soccer Association (LGSA)Steve Riley to be the repre-sentative for LGSA on the com-mittee.
“I have met many wonderfulpeople through my involvementwith LLDT, and every one ofthem shared a passion for thedevelopment of youth soccer in
Langley. In fact, it is thispassion that keeps everyoneinvolved in volunteering torun the tournament and torun their clubs,” he said.
When Shopland thinksback to the early years ofhis involvement, it was per-haps the busiest time in hislife because he was raisinga young family with hiswife, Laurie.
“Now that my familyis a little older, I feel it istime to step aside and letothers bring their passionand run the tournament,”he said.
He added, “the lowestpoint of my years withthe tournament wouldhave to be in 2006 whenMichael Smith passedaway.”
Six summers ago,Shopland was the co-chair of the LLDT com-mittee. After Smith diedin June of that year,Shopland assumed thechairperson position.
“The sudden passing ofMichael left a huge hole to fillboth on the committee [and]in the broader soccer commun-ity,” Shopland said.
It is with that thought in mind
that the tournament was renamedthe Michael J. Smith
Memorial Tournament,and a field was namedafter Smith at theMAP complex.
“Michael’s passionfor the development of
youth soccer in Langleywas felt by everyone,”
Shopland said. “I thinkback to his words andthe dedication he had toensuring that all playersenjoyed the tournament.”Smith had a lasting effect
on the LLDT, especially in themanner in which he dealt withcoaches and teams that wereperhaps a little too competitive,Shopland said: “He had a wayto keep everything fun for every-body while making sure that thetournament went off without anyhiccups.”

‘The Beautiful Game’ celebrated on local pitchesThis year’s annual youth soccer tournament in Langley will draw fewer teams, but the fun-first philosophy remains the same.

…continued from page A23“I always felt fortunate to have met
Michael when my children were just get-ting involved in soccer. It helped me asthey moved through the years to stayfocused on why we got our kids involvedin sports in the first place, and to remem-ber that they are the ones playing thesport, not us parents.”
Looking back, Shoplandsaid the ’03 tournamentstands out as the mostmemorable.
It was the first year hewas involved in the event,both as a committee mem-ber and a coach.
“There is just some-thing that you rememberabout standing out on afield in the early hoursof the Labour Day week-end,” Shopland said. “The grass is freshlymowed, there is dew on the ground, youcan smell the freshness, and you think toyourself, ‘This is the start of soccer sea-son.’ It brings back memories of my ownyouth, playing soccer in Burnaby. It is alsowhy I come back every year to continueorganizing the tournament.”
Shopland has mixed emotions aboutstepping away from the LLDT after thisyear’s event ends.
“For anyone who volunteers, you knowthe time it can take up. Although mychildren are now a little older, they areinvolved in other activities, and I lookforward to putting some time into those,”Shopland said. “However, I know thatnext Labour Day weekend, I will need toslip out of the house early one morning,
go down to the local parkand breathe in the smellof freshly cut grass andknow that it is the begin-ning of the soccer seasonin Langley.”
During the other 362days of the year when thetournament isn’t takingplace, Shopland meets withmany people involved inthe development of youthsoccer in Langley and, hesaid, “they all have the
same comment when they see the kidsplaying on the soccer fields throughoutLangley on the Labour Day weekend, thatit signifies the start of the season.”
The tournament has always been, andwill always be, about having a good time,Shopland said: “Although we structurethe games to try and be as competitive aspossible, the philosophy is always abouthaving a fun time and enjoying the LabourDay weekend in Langley.”

Trinity Western’s menhad mixed results southof the border.
On Sunday afternoonat Delta Park in Portland,Oregon, Trinity WesternUniversity’s men’s soccerteam ended up on the shortend of a 1-0 score againstthe Concordia UniversityCavaliers.
The loss concluded theSpartans’ pre-season roadtrip throughthe PacificNorthwest.

“We startedvery strong andcame out likegangbusters, butmissed four quality chancesearly,” TWU head coachPat Rohla said. “And wedid everything but score inthe final minutes, but wecan’t play 40 minutes andexpect a good result. It is alittle disappointing but weremain convinced that wecan be a good team.”
Trinity Western carriedthe play in the early going,as the Spartans finished thefirst half with a 9-5 shotadvantage, three of whichcame in the first four min-utes of play.
But Concordia was ableto finish the first framewith the advantage on thescoresheet as the Cavaliersnotched the only marker ofthe match in the 41st min-ute on a penalty kick byFacundo Dipascuale.
Concordia was awardedthe PK off of a scrambleplay in the box, when theball hit Braden Volkenant’shand in the penalty area.
The late goal allowed theCavaliers to carry momen-tum into the second half asConcordia had a 10-8 edgein shots over the final 45minutes.
TWU forward SpencerSchmidt led the Spartanswith seven shots, three ontarget.
Spartans keeper AndrewKowan played the full 90and made six saves in theloss.

“It wasn’t our bestperformance, but a differ-ent kind of match wherewe found a way to winby scoring a few goals,which is nice to get thistime of year,” Rohla said.
“We found a way to getgoals from different peoplearound the park and whatcould have been a back-and-forth game, we wereable to put it into a dif-ferent gear and move for-ward.”

A new, high-level teamis starting locally.
The Langley United YouthSoccer Association is enter-ing a U21 men’s team inthe Vancouver Metro SoccerLeague this month.
The VMSL website is:www.vmslsoccer.com.
Working closely withTrinity Western University’sSpartans men’s soccer pro-gram, which competes inCanadian InteruniversitySport (CIS), and with theLangley Athletic FC men’sclub, which has a UnitedSoccer Leagues franchise inthe Super 20 League, LUYSAwill enter a team in the
VMSL’s U21 Division.The LUYSA squad will be
competing against teamsfrom throughout GreaterVancouver. This will allowLangley-based players (born1990 or younger) who havecompletedyouthsoccer tohave theopportun-ity to playthe gameat a highlevel close to home.
“This is an importantstep forward for our club aswe work to implement theclub charter requirement ofdelivering ‘cradle to grave’soccer in our community,”
said LUYSA president BettyBoucas. “It also allowsLangley United’s young menwho have completed youthsoccer at U18 to be able tocontinue to compete at ahigh level in their own com-
munity.”Trinity
WesternUniversitymen’s headsoccer coachPat Rohlasaid this
new team is valuable forSpartans’ soccer, because itprovides opportunities forTWU’s youngest players toplay competitively whenthey enter the school’s pro-gram.
“It’s also great to keepLangley youth soccer play-ers competing,” Rohla said.
“Forming a Langley U21entry in the VancouverMetro Soccer League is anexcellent step forward foryouth and men’s soccer inLangley,” Langley AthleticFC men’s club presidentEwen Dobbie said. “We’relooking forward to workingto make this team a suc-cess.”

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections September 4 - 10, 2011Aries March 21 - April 19: You start this weekwith a wise and gentle outlook. You understandwhy recent events occurred and the motives andneeds of the people involved. You might not agreewith someone Sunday but you know that you lovethem by Monday. Your ambitions, career and placein the world are highlighted Tuesday/Wednesday. Ifyou can co-operate – oddly enough, with yourselfmore then with others – then you will succeed,perhaps hugely. Happiness and social interest calmThursday/Friday. All week, a work-like attitude willhelp you. Direct your energy into home repairs, notfamily arguments.Taurus April 20-May 20: You’re in a lucky year,and a romantic, creative and “winning” month! Expectsuccess! Sunday/Monday emphasize research,secrets, subterranean currents, subconscious desires,investment (of time or money) and lifestyle changes.These go better Monday than Sunday. Wisdom,scholarship, education, far travel, new, big ideasand foreign-born people enter Monday night throughWednesday – great for students starting school. Butto bed from 9 p.m. Tuesday onward – night owls meetdisappointment.Your standing,career,ambitions cometo the fore Thursday onward. Social joys Saturday!Gemini May 21-June 20: Decide who/what shouldstay in your life, and who/what (the stale, unprofitable)should not. Your security, home, property, family,retirement and such issues are important – this isan excellent year (to June 2012) to make choices inthese areas. E.g., a home you find now will alwaysbe a sweet “retreat,” filled with sunshine and health.Sunday/Monday emphasize relocation, opportunities,relationships. You might choose a lifestyle, healthcure, investment, or even a sexual partner Mondaynight to pre-dawn Thursday. Wisdom, gentle love, lawand far travel come Thursday onward.
Cancer June 21-July 22: Stack up all your “todo’s” and get them done. This week’s filled witherrands, paperwork, calls, emails, all the busynessof daily life. Be curious: ask questions, read, explore.Take a short trip this holiday weekend. Siblings,casual acquaintances welcome you. (But if you dogo, Sunday/Monday, you’ll end up cooking, cleaningor chopping the wood.) Exciting meetings and newhorizons, new opportunities face you Monday nightthrough Wednesday. The luckiest (short-term, maybenot long) come Tuesday, the most exciting Wednesday.Secrets, finances, intimate bonding late week.Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Chase money. Buy and sell,seek new clients, ask for a pay raise, collect – and payyour bills. Your memory’s good. Your sensual quotientis high. (Ditto your romantic quotient, Sunday/Monday.)Accept surface appearances: looking beneath or behindwastes time, distorts the truth. Tackle chores (andthose money prospects) Tuesday/Wednesday – watchtiming, communication/commuting factors. Do nothingunethical Wednesday: there is never justification.Exciting meetings, new horizons, potential competitorsarise Thursday onward. Lucrative purchases,investments Saturday p.m.Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Your energy, effectiveness,attractiveness and luck reach new peaks. Startsignificant projects, ask favours, see and be seen.Banish shyness. Start the week (Sunday/Monday)by getting rid of hold-backs and stale burdens. (Orrest, nap, or take care of security, house and familyconcerns – a great two days to tackle the garden.)Love “helplessly” comes around Monday nightthrough Wednesday. There is a big “yes” anda money-connected or possession “no” here.Chores arise Thursday onward – you’ll completethem easily. Saturday noon starts a weekend ofrelationship excitement.
Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Conserve your energy,avoid confrontation. Healers, charity workers, civilservants, anyone who deals in a non-profit way withthe public – these will favour you, might open a door tofinancial, lifestyle gain. But higher-ups and authoritieswill be impatient, gruff. Get the former on your side toprotect you against the latter. (E.g., get a letter fromyour doctor to show the judge.) Home, security, realestate are very favoured Tuesday, but watch the long-term implications. (E.g., you find a bargain house,but in an area that’s declining.) Romantic notions,Thursday-Saturday!Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: You popularity isrising. Flirtations, friendships, entertainment andspontaneous gatherings occur. It’s an excellent time(to Sept. 22) to join a group or club, become involvedin politics, or even to start an “interest group.” Yourlife is filled with opportunities (June 2011 to June2012) – all emerge from relationships. So gather awhole armful of relationships this month: some/manywill pay off handsomely later. It’s also a great timeand year to seek fame, deal with the public, etc. Yourcommunications luck is high Tuesday. Saturday evestarts a romantic weekend!Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Be ambitious,especially Sunday/Monday, when you have moreclout, enthusiasm and energy than usual, andTuesday/Wednesday, when your money instinctsmeet bountiful circumstances. Be careful not toargue Wednesday mid-day – it could cause you alot of unnecessary worry later. You might be over-eager about a speculative investment or “romanticlust” this August/September – this could triggerimpulsivity or that possible argument. Travel, talk,meet friends, and be curious Thursday to Saturdaynoon – not an exciting period, but most things gowell. Find sweet rest later.
Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The weeks aheademphasize higher education, legal affairs, far travel,internationalism, big ideas (the abstract trumpsdetails) cultural rituals, insurance, statistics andgentle love. The last could be quite significant, formany of you have or will meet good fortune in themore passionate side of love – September gives youan opportunity to put this on an even keel, to injectgentle wisdom into it. Some will wed! (Love/hate isa possibility, too.) Rest, lie low Sunday/Monday. Yourenergy and clout soar Monday night to Wednesday– chase something big. Money’s good late week.Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: This month deals withsecrets, the levers of power, mysteries and hiddenalliances. To succeed, research; don’t gossip, DON’Ttell secrets, but do ask questions and hear theanswers. Health diagnosis, lifestyle changes, networth, investments and debts, and sexual intimacy/consequences – one or more of these offers youbenefits this week. It’s a fine time to buy a home.(Easier than selling.) You’re optimistic, social Sunday/Monday. Retreat to plan, deal with governmentagencies Tuesday/Wednesday. Your energy andeffectiveness rise Thursday onward – go, makechanges, commit.Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: The emphasis lies onrelationships, relocation,dealing with the public, fame,opportunities and challenges, allies and enemies. Becreative, especially in “showing” bosses how theycan pay you more, increase your sales territory, etc.Others treat you with affection and grace. So askfor that date – even if he/she says “no,” you’ll havestarted a friendship. Soon, you’ll be talking abouta home (or an ending) with another. Be ambitiousSunday/Monday. Hopes, happiness, social joys flowTuesday/Wednesday! Withdraw, rest Thursday/Friday.Saturday eve starts your “star weekend!”
