Delta police handed out morethan 100 tickets during a longweekend traffic blitz.

The department took part inOperation Impact — an initia-tive of the Canadian Associationof Chiefs of Police — over theThanksgiving weekend.

“This special initiative fromthe CanadianAssociationof Chiefs ofPolice set outto focus onsafe drivingpractices, andwas timed inconjunctionwith Canada’sThanksgivingholiday week-end, whenthe traveling public were out invast numbers,” said Delta policespokesperson Const. CiaranFeenan.

“It was a coordinated effortbetween police agencies acrossthe country to work toward thegoal of Road Safety Vision 2011— making Canada’s roads the saf-est in the world.”

The department’s traffic andpatrol sections were at selectedlocations throughout Delta overthe long weekend and werefocused on specific offences:aggressive driving, seatbelt vio-lations, distracted driving andimpaired driving.

Officers issued 104 tickets overthe course of the weekend, taking“one more step in making Delta’sroads the safest in B.C.,” Feenansaid.

Delta-Richmond East MPKerry-Lynne Findlay announcedover $200,000 in funding from thefederal government to help build acranberry research centre in DeltaTuesday.

She made the announcementat Cranwest Farms in Delta onbehalf of MP Lynne Yelich, minis-ter of state for Western EconomicDiversification.

“This funding will aid inthe construction of a cranberry

research centre — the first ofits kind in Canada and only thefourth in North America,” saidFindlay.

She noted the research centrewould serve as a cranberry testfacility where current and newvarieties could be evaluated usingvarious growing mediums andalternate production techniques.

Richmond cranberry growerand president of the B.C.Cranberry Research Society ToddMay was at the announcement aswell.

“This is extremely important

to the cranberry industry andits ability to move along at arapid pace in development of ourresearch farm,” he said, addingthe industry has faced some chal-lenges in the last few years.

Those challenges generallyrevolve around declining produc-tion in some established plantsand some of the new plantings aswell, he said.

May said he’d like to see theinitial development and construc-tion to be finished by the end of2012 or beginning of 2013. Thefacility is expected to include 15

or more acres of actual plantedproduction area. It will be locat-ed between the South FraserPerimeter Road and the VancouverLandfill, he noted.

The overall cost of the project,by the time there are crop results,is expected to be $2 million.

Findlay said the cranberryindustry is a significant contribu-tor to the local economy and thatB.C. cranberry growers produceapproximately 80 million poundsof cranberries on an annual basis,with over 90 per cent destined forinternational markets.

Music and art can beinvaluable tools for those onthe road to healing.

The Delta HospiceSociety’s centre for sup-portive care has been ableto expand a couple ofcounselling options involv-ing music and arts thanks tothe arrival earlier this yearof Dr. Heather Mohan, whohas extensive experiencefacilitating support groupsand counselling services forchildren, youth and parents.

For the past 13 yearsMohan worked as the co-ordinator of the FamilyBereavement Program andArts Therapy Services forthe North Shore Hospice/Palliative Care Program.

Founding Canada’s firstfamily bereavement retreatprogram in 2007 calledCamp Kerry, she has anapproach to counsellingthat’s holistic, family-cen-tered and arts-based. Shespecializes in working withchildren who have sufferedthe loss of a loved one.

Executive director NancyMacey says the DeltaHospice Society wantedto expand its services foryouth.

Mohan is starting a chil-dren’s grief group for kidsfive to 12 who are grievingthe death of a parent, sib-ling, grandparent or othersignificant person. A simi-lar group for parents will beheld at the same time, start-ing Oct. 18.

Mohan is also involvedwith an expressive artscounselling program foryouth and adults, already inplace but expanding.

“It’s really just aboutusing different ways ofexpressing yourself, usingmusic or art or creatingthings with clay. Sometimeskids bring in their ownmusic to listen to whilethey’re in the art/play room,or sometimes we mightwrite songs or poetry.There’s kind of no limit.It’s about using different

mediums to reach the samegoals,” she explains.

“Most of the kids we seeare teenagers who are herebecause they’ve had a deathin the family. So it wouldbe about helping them tomake sense of that lossand express their feelingsabout that loss, and to worktowards a healing processthrough expression andconnection.”

Mohan says unlike aschool, which is teacher

structured, the art or musicby the youth at the centreis directed by the mem-bers, while she’ll initiate aconversation around whatthey’re doing as it’s appro-priate.

Macey says music/artstherapy helps young peoplelearn healthy coping strate-gies, instead of steeringtoward more destructiveones like drugs or alcohol.

“I know with my expe-rience, when I lost my

brother when he drownedin a swimming pool, myexperience was he wasnever mentioned. Pictureswere put away, it was nevertalked about with any ofus. It just gets stuffed downand it’s not healthy. So whatHeather offers allows peo-ple to process that grief,”says Macey.

Mohan, who’s also a reg-istered music therapist, useslive music to help adults,including those living out

their remaining days at thepalliative care residence.

“That’s a different pro-cess, but it still falls underthat umbrella of using cre-ative arts as tools for heal-ing,” she says.

“Music can work in dif-ferent ways. Obviouslywhen someone’s really sick,they don’t have the energyto make music, so whatthey’re doing is receivingmusic. The important thingthat a music therapist does

is assess the situation interms of what are the pref-erences and what’s neededin that situation.

“There was a situationa while ago when a familywas having a vigil. (Thepatient) was very peaceful,very comfortable, but thefamily was very welcomingmusic and the patient hadalways loved music, so theyasked if I could come andplay (the guitar) while theyhold her. She died in themiddle of a song while herfamily members were talk-ing to her and kind of echo-ing the lyrics of the songs.”

Mohan says anotherpatient wanted help in writ-ing a song about his life.

Another recent exampleof how music can help inthe bereavement processwas in a adult group ses-sion, where participantswere asked to share a pieceof music that was importantto their loved ones.

Macey says one normallydoesn’t associate healingwith someone dying, butthere’s a lot of healing thatcan take place during thatprocess and the goal is tocreate a healing environ-ment.

The Delta HospiceSociety care centre and theresident care building inLadner opened last year.

An $8.5 million proj-ect, the Harold andVeronica Savage Centre forSupportive Care and IreneThomas Hospice, at 4631Clarence Taylor Cres., adja-cent to Delta Hospital, werebuilt entirely thanks to thedonations.

Fraser Health providedthe land and operating dol-lars are provided for the10-bed palliative care unit,but it’s still up to the soci-ety to fund the operationsof supportive care centre,which provides information,counselling and acts as anall-round resource base forfamilies.

A local anti-power linesgroup met with PremierChristy Clark this week toplead its case to the prov-ince’s new leader.

Mothers Against PowerPoles (MAPP) founder andspokesperson Heather Colls

sat down with the premierTuesday for a half-hourmeeting to “discuss thehealth and safety of thechildren of Tsawwassen,”she said.

Colls said she used thetime to outline MAPP’smain concern, the dangersthe group says are posed tostudents and staff at South

Delta Secondary by thepower pole located in theparking lot, as well as toprovide some suggestions toalleviate their concerns.

Aside from the presenta-tion, Colls said she left thepremier with a binder fullof information on the issue.

She said the premieragreed the power lines

situation in Tsawwassenwas not handled properlyand that children’s healthwas of utmost importance,however, they had differingopinions on the potentialdangers of EMF exposure.

The meeting was setup after Colls approachedClark when she was at aTsawwassen school last

month to announce play-ground funding. She saidshe would be willing tomeet with the premier againto further discuss the issue.

Colls said her main goalof the meeting was to havethe Liberal governmentagree to take the powerpole out. While she didn’tget that promise, Colls said

she was happy with theinformation presented to thepremier.

The group isn’t plan-ning on letting the issuego any time soon. She saidMAPP plans on continuingto educate the public on thedangers posed by the powerpole and will make sure it isa provincial election issue.

TEDMURPHY

MURPHY’SLAW

We’ll see whether trustees havelearned their lesson.

A couple of years ago when the Deltaschool board was in the throes of yetanother budget battle, it was decidedthe best course of action would be toclose two elementary schools: DeltaManor in Ladner and Boundary Beach inBoundary Bay. The closures were intro-duced as proposals, but it became clearearly on in the public consultation pro-cess that it would take a minor miraclefor either of these schools to remainopen.

Parents at both schools did their bestto provide alternatives, offering sugges-tions to boost enrollment and revenues,but with a 60-day window in which towork, nothing on that front came to frui-tion.

I can remember the meeting when theclosure decision was made and how frus-trated parents were at the timeline, howthey implored trustees to make the pub-lic consultation process meaningful bybringing stakeholders into the mix beforeit was a done deal.

I raise this issue because of the frontpage story — Enrollment decline ahead— in last Friday’s edition. The district’sown numbers project a drop of another1,000 students over the next five years,while Ministry of Education projectionspeg the dip to be in excess of 2,000.

When you look at those figures, andyou combine them with statements abouthow the cupboard is bare as far as beingable to make further cuts after a decadeof hacking and slashing, it’s not a stretchto come to the conclusion that moreschool closures could be in the cards.

The high water mark in terms ofschool population in Delta was 1980when there were 18,763 kids in thesystem. Given we’re already more than3,000 below that level and steadily drop-ping, it would stand to reason we don’tneed — or perhaps more accurately, can’tafford to operate — as many schools.

If that’s the case, and there are possibleclosures on the horizon, parents havemade it clear they’d like to know soonerthan later so they have adequate time toput forward a proposal that would try toavert such a drastic measure.

I realize identifying a school for clo-sure can be a self-fulfilling prophecy aswould-be students are soon sent else-where for fear the one in the neighbour-hood won’t be around much longer. Earlynotification could simply expedite theinevitable.

As much as that’s true, at least it givesparents a fighting chance to do some-thing before trustees are forced to makea difficult decision. That’s a luxury theirpredecessors weren’t provided.

For someone who has driven theGeorge Massey Tunnel for over25 years, I sure have noticed a lotmore accidents in and around thetunnel recently. In many places youcan hardly see the pavement fromall the skid marks. Chunks of trucktires litter the side of the road anddamaged light fixtures dangle fromthe walls. The smell of burnt rub-ber and the squeal of tires seem tohave become a regular occurrence.

So what is going on? Well, I amsure this is no surprise to anyone,but extra traffic due to growth andexpansion is having a major impacton traffic volumes, especially dur-ing rush hour.

Unfortunately there is no imme-diate relief in sight until the newSouth Fraser Perimeter Road getscompleted. Putting our faith inengineered solutions, political willor reflective tiles is futile and Iwould suggest we need to focusmuch more on the basics.

Although the posted speed limitin and around the tunnel is 80 km/h, it is way too common to have

drivers go 110 km/h or faster, espe-cially while going through the tun-nel, probably figuring there is noway they can get a ticket. It makesabsolutely no sense to be speedingunder poor road conditions, poorlighting and high traffic volume.

The number of drivers whoforget to use both their head andtail lights is proof of how littleattention many pay while drivingthrough the tunnel. I would esti-mate that on any given day maybe50 to 70 per cent of drivers actuallyremember to turn on their lights.

In my 25 years, I have beenlucky to only once have the tunnellights go out completely. Let metell you it gets so pitch dark whenthe tunnel lights go out that evenwith your headlights on you canbarely see the car in front of you.

So wake up and pay attentionas you approach, drive throughand exit the tunnel. Not that weneed more signage, but maybe theMinistry of Transportation couldput up giant yellow sign with“WAKE-UP” on it at the tunnelapproaches. That would probablyget drivers at least wondering whatthe sign is for and make them thinkabout their driving.

Given all the heavy vehicle traf-fic on Highway 99, the tunnel isconstantly in need of repair and

many sections of this road are sub-optimal at any given time. Somepatches are re-paved constantly tokeep up with the fast deterioration.

The leading cause of rear-endcollision is following the vehiclein front of you too closely and notbeing able to stop in time. I don’tknow how many times I have hadvehicles within 10 feet of the backof my vehicle while travellingthrough the tunnel.

As a rule of thumb, ask yourselfas you are driving through the tun-nel: “If the vehicle in front of mewere to suddenly come to a stop,would I be able to stop?” Given thepoor road conditions, poor light-ing, high traffic, etc., the standardrecommended distances betweenvehicles do not apply here andgreater distances must be main-tained to prevent collisions. Thenumber of sudden traffic stops hasincreased dramatically due to theextra volume.

The one thing we know for sureis that driving conditions in andaround the George Massey Tunnelare only going to get worse inthe next two years until the SouthFraser Perimeter Road is com-pleted. How many people will gethurt or killed in the next two yearsdepends on when we wake up, slowdown and keep our distance.

GUEST EDITORIAL


Letters to the Editor

Editor:Re: Much to gain from

proposal, letter to the edi-tor, Oct. 12

With reference to arableland hereabouts, a readerwrote that B.C. is 944,735square kilometres in sizeand that is about equalto the combined areas ofFrance, Germany and theNetherlands.

Said reader then suggest-ed the combined populationof those three countries is163.8 million people versusB.C.’s “over four million.”

The point of the reader’sargument is, I suppose,that when referring to landmass, B.C. has an abun-dance of acreage.

All of that is nice to readbut in reality how much ofthat 944,735 square kilome-tres of the province is arableland? According to theCanadian Encyclopaedia, “it is estimated that three percent of B.C. has soils suit-able for agricultural pro-duction.”

Unlike most of theaforementioned European

countries, B.C. is mountain-ous and it is rather difficultto grow spuds on the slopeof a snow-covered moun-tain. Moreover, much ofB.C. is at higher latitudesthan are France, Germanyor the Netherlands and upthere, the temperature is notalways suited to growingfresh vegetables.

Those competent in arith-metic can figure out howmany square kilometresthree per cent of 944,735 is;I need not do all the work.

In appreciation for allthe support from the com-munity, the Little HouseSociety is planning an eventfor next Saturday.

The group is hostingthe Gratitude and GraceEvent at Kirkland House inLadner to thank the com-munity for all the supportit has received over the pastfew months as it rebuildsthe Little House on 12thAvenue in Tsawwassen.

The house is currentlyunder construction, with

Originally a family home,the little white house on12th Avenue was purchasedby the Corporation of Deltain 1979 where it served as ahome for programs offeredby Delta Mental Healthand Richmond Alcohol andDrug Action Team.

In May 1982, it wasmade available for 12-stepmeetings and in 2004 theLittle House Society wasestablished to oversee thefacility.

For 27 years, the houseserved as a meeting placefor 12-step recovery groups,however, in 2009 it wasdestroyed by fire.

Late last year the soci-ety launched a fundraisingcampaign to rebuild thehouse with a goal of raising$250,000.

Aside from rebuild-

ing, the society is aimingat expanding its services.The new 1,800-square-footfacility will also be avail-able to the community foruse as a multi-purposespace as well as an educa-tion facility for the group.

As part of its mission,the society has committedto reduce and prevent theharm associated with sub-stance abuse, and to supportthe efforts of abstinence-based recovery.

The Gratitude and GraceEvent is scheduled to runfrom 2 to 5 p.m. The offi-cial welcome will takeplace at 3 p.m. and willbe followed by coffee anddessert. There will be arts,crafts and activities for thechildren.

Tsawwassen’s MitchWilson is part of a teamthat’s establishing a treenursery in Mahenge,Tanzania.

Wilson, 24, was inMahenge in 2009 toresearch the potential for acommunity tree nursery aspart of a forestry degree atUBC.

“Once I started research-ing the area, I found itwas the perfect place forthis sort of project. It’s anecologically sensitive areaand part of the easternarc mountains, which areconsidered a biodiversityhotspot by ConservationInternational,” he stated inan e-mail to the Optimist.

Wilson said there is ahigh amount of deforesta-tion in the area and thatwith many people earningless than $2 a day, theydepend on trees to providethem with free fruit, fire-wood for cooking, medi-cine, building materials andmany other products.

“Most importantly, this

community is the perfectlocation because of the peo-ple. It’s a privilege to workwith the enthusiastic, uni-versity-trained forest pro-fessionals who are manag-ing the nursery. Communitymembers are eager to planttrees and understand theimportance of planting treesafter seeing first hand thedifficulties deforestationhas caused,” he said.

Construction on the nurs-ery started last month andWilson, who’s listed as hav-ing a public relations, spon-sorship and promotion rolewith the team, expects workwill be complete before theend of the year.

He said the nursery willsupply 100,000 seedlingsto the community each yearand that it costs 15 cents tosponsor a seedling.

He described the projectas a community solution toa community problem.

“The need for this projectwas identified by the com-munity and the solution waspresented by the commu-nity. Seeing their motivationand enthusiasm I knew Ihad to be a part of this proj-

ect. It’s an exciting initiativeto support.”

The SDSS and UBCgrad will be continuing hisstudies next month when hegoes to Germany to studytropical forestry at DresdenTechnical University.

Wilson said he’s receiv-ing an Erasmus Mundusscholarship from theEuropean Commission andis participating in a sus-tainable tropical forestryprogram.

Radical Truth SetsYou Free.

ADVERTORIAL

www.pneumachurch.com604-940-6700

Being the pastor of PneumaChurch, I often get asked ques-tions that people simply cannotnnd the answers for. One ques-tion that many are strugglingwith is; “What do I need todo to receive the blessingsof God?” They usually add,“I have been praying, readingmy Bible, going to churchand paying my tithes, yet Idon’t seem to be able to getmy prayers answered.” Theroot of the problem is foundboth in the question and inthe addition to the question:They have fallen into the trapof linking God’s response totheir performance. They havenot properly understood thebalance of grace and faith andtheir relationship to each other.Grace is denned as -- un-

merited, unearned, undeservedfavor. Therefore, the gracethat you are longing for hasnothing to do with you. Inother words, grace is God’spart.Faith is denned as your

positive response to what Godhas already provided throughgrace. Faith only appropri-ates what God has alreadyprovided for you. Therefore,faith is your part. Studyingscripture, we see that grace andfaith has to be in balance.Ephesians 2:8-9 says, “For

by grace are ye saved throughfaith; and that not of your-selves: it is the gift of God: Notof works, lest any man shouldboast.”This scripture says that we

are saved by grace throughfaith, not one or the other. Ittakes both working together toreceive salvation.Salvation is not dependent

on grace alone. If this werethe case, everyone would besaved and going to heaven asGod’s grace is the same toward

everyone. (Titus 2:11) God hasalready given the gift of salva-tion to everyone through Jesus.It is by faith that a personreceives his salvation.Most of us believe that in

order to be saved, we needto ask God to forgive us ofour sins, but that isn’t whatthe Bible teaches. In 1 John2:2, it states that Jesus was theatoning sacrince for our sins,and not only for ours, but alsofor the sins of the whole world.Jesus did not just die for thoseHe knew would accept Him;He died for every sinner whohas ever lived on this earth.And, He died before you or Iever committed a single sin.Here is a radical truth…Sin

is not an issue with God! TheLord is not waiting for us toask Him to forgive us of oursins. HE said that we are savednot by asking forgiveness forour sins, but by acceptingHis Son - who paid the pricefor our sins. The sins of theentire world—past, presentand future have already beenforgiven. In John 1:29, Johnthe Baptist said, “Behold theLamb of God, which takethaway the sin of the world.”In John 16:8-9, Jesus said,

“And when He is come, Hewill reprove the world of sin,and of righteousness, and ofjudgment: Of sin, because theybelieve not on me.”The church often mis-

interprets this scripture andpreaches that the Holy Spirit ishere to convict you of all yoursins. That is not what the HolySpirit is here to do. He is hereto convict you of the single sinof not receiving Jesus as yourSavior. The only convictionis that of believing in JesusChrist.People do not go to hell for

committing adultery, stealing

or even murder. Those, like allsins, have already been paidfor. This is what the Bible saysin John 16:8-9—the only sinthat is going to send peopleto hell is the sin of reject-ing Jesus Christ as theirpersonal Savior. So, stopmagnifying sin in your life!Make no mistake God hatessin – but Jesus paid the pricefor our sin.The message that much of

the church is preaching causesus to become conscious of sininstead of being conscious ofrighteousness. (Rom. 3:19-22)It also causes us to link ourperformance to all the otherblessings of God.God’s grace has provided

not only salvation, but alsoprovision for every need inyour life. That provision is notbased on whether you are read-ing the Bible enough, praying,going to church, or evenpaying your tithes. Before youever had a nnancial need, Godcreated the provision. Beforeyou were sick, God, throughgrace, provided your healing.(1 Pet. 2:24) Before you everbecame discouraged, Godblessed you with all spiritualblessings. (Eph. 1:3) God an-ticipated every need you couldever have and has met thoseneeds through Jesus beforeyou existed. That is grace.Faith appropriates what

God has already provided.Faith doesn’t move God; Heis not the one who is stuck.Faith does not make God doanything. Grace and faith worktogether, and our part is toaccept what God has alreadydone. Grace must be balancedwith faith. In our next article,we will continue to answer thisquestion. For more teachings,please visit our website atwww.pneumachurch.com. Beblessed!

MThe fields are ready for harvest

and gleaning. Wool-capped chil-dren wander pumpkin mazes. It’sThanksgiving in Canada, a wonderfultime to celebrate.

Each day we rise to greet themorning and we give thanks for thepossibilities that lie ahead.

We hope for the opportunities thatwill bring us joy and celebration. Wepray for the strength to overcometemptations in our lives.

We think, not only of ourselves,but of others who have been a bless-ing to us.

We give thanks for our communitythat supports a very abundant andcomfortable lifestyle.

We remember, too, many who are

struggling this day. What can wedo to bring Thanksgiving into theirlives?

One simple idea seems to workfor me — perhaps it would for youtoo? I try to engage the world with asmile, rather than a frown. No, really,it makes a difference.

My grandmother had a littleplaque on her wall that said, “Athankful heart doeth good like amedicine...”

That motto served her well duringthe bleakest days of war; perhaps itcan do the same for us?

When it comes to having a thank-ful heart, there are no Thanksgivingleftovers, only fresh expressions ofjoy.

Caring for a person withdementia from a long dis-tance presents many chal-lenges for Delta residents.

“It is important to devel-op a plan of action,” saysAnthony Kupferschmidt,the Alzheimer Society ofB.C.’s support and educa-tion co-ordinator for thearea.

Caregivers should takesome basic steps beforevisiting the person withdementia, he says, to createa plan that best meets theirloved one’s needs.

“Talk to family members,friends, neighbours, theirphysician, health agenciesand other people who arein contact with the person,”says Kupferschmidt.

The society’s handout,Assessing the Needs of thePerson with Dementia, is aneasy guide and is availableonline at www.alzheimerbc.org.

Caregivers should identi-fy local services needed andmake appointments withservice providers.

“Communicate clearlywhat you are hoping toachieve. Be prepared withquestions you would like tohave answered, and the ser-vices you are seeking.”

Kupferschmidt sayscaregivers should dividethe responsibilities of carewith other family members,whenever possible. Thencommunicate regularlywith all individuals whoare helping with the personwith dementia’s care.

More suggestions andinformation on long-dis-tance caregiving are avail-able to Delta residents atthe free meetings of thesociety’s local supportgroup. For more informa-tion on locations and times,contact Kupferschmidtat 604-238-7390 [email protected].

athomeTRY OUT PATTERN, EVEN IF IT’S ONLYAN ACCENT CHAIR OR RUG IN ONEROOM OF THE HOUSE. IT CAN ADDVISUAL DIMENSION TO A SPACE.

Adding patterned elements to any room is easier than you think

Perfecting patterns

Many homeowners want to intro-duce pattern to their rooms but

don’t know where to start.

They may wonder if two patterns match orhow to determine scale.

It may take a little practice, but using pat-tern is easier than one may think.

Nothing adds visual interest to a room morethan pattern and color. While homeownersmay have the knack with colour, they oftenshy away from pattern.

But you can trust their instincts — they’reusually right.

For those who have mas-tered pattern with theirwardrobes, it’s time to tryout some pattern in homedesign.

Varying pattern size addsdimension to a room.

Not every pattern should bethe same size and variety,otherwise things can looktoo matched and staged.

Try varying patterns of simi-lar colours but experimentwith size.

For example, place a largelypatterned area rug on thefloor. An ottoman may fea-ture a medium-sized pat-tern.

Mix things up by alternat-

ing throw pillows in a floralor paisley print with subtlestripes.

However, make sure thetexture of the fabrics match.Gauzy curtains with heavychenille pillows may clash.

When selecting patterneditems, choose similarlycoloured items.

This way even if the fabricsor patterns aren’t exactlythe same, they’ll look cohe-sive through colour.

For a room to feel a bitmore upbeat, considercomplementary oppositecolours.

If you prefer a more restfulatmosphere, try a palette ofcolours from the same fam-ily. Just vary the intensity ofthe shades.

Homeowners who havegained some pattern con-fidence may want to strikeout on their own to create aroom that is unique.

Those who still need a littlehelp may want to considertaking the path of design-ers before them. Thereare certain patterns andfabrics that have alreadybeen established as workingtogether for certain designstyles. Here are a few.

• American Southwest:Navajo patterns are at theforefront of this design styleand can be used on uphol-

stery or pillows.Use a smaller-scale stripeon window treatments.Solid-shaded throw pillowsin a complementary colourto the Navajo pattern willcoordinate well.

• English country: This styleis about large-scale chintzon sofa and draperies. Mixin narrow striped, slip-cov-ered lounge chairs for alittle extra panache.

• American country: Asmall floral print on thesofa or comforter can beoffset with a large countryquilt pattern hung on thewall as a wall treatment.Checkerboard checks,medium stripes on drap-eries or select crochetedvalences coordinate well.

• 18th century: Lavish pat-terned fabrics in chintz orpaisley featuring golds androbin’s egg blue are justsome of the options forclassic decorating.

• Modern: Mix stripes andgeometric patterned itemsin splashes of color to add amodern feel to a room.

Individuals can experimentwith patterns to make aroom more personalizedand less of a neutral blankpage.

If it proves difficult to comeup with patterns that worktogether, look at designmagazines or books forsome inspiration.

Getting your homeready for winterFall is the time to

get your homeready for the com-

ing winter, which canbe the most gruellingseason for your home.Canada Mortgage andHousing Corporation(CMHC) suggests youperform a variety oftasks which will help youto avoid the most com-mon‚ and costly‚ prob-lems before they occur.

Here are some of thesetasks:

Ensure leaves and otherdebris are removed fromeavestroughs and down-spouts for proper drainagefrom the roof.

Ensure that downspoutsdirect water away from thehouse foundation.

If you have a gas, oil, orother non-electric heating

system, have it serviced bya qualified company (everytwo years for a gas furnaceand every year for an oilfurnace or in accordancewith the manufacturer’sinstructions).Have the chimneys or com-bustion vents checked fornests or other obstructionsbefore turning on your heat-ing system.

If you have a furnace, checkand clean or replace filterson a monthly basis duringthe heating season.

Gently vacuum in andaround hot water baseboardand electric baseboardheaters to remove dust.Remove the grilles onforced-air heating systemsand vacuum inside theducts. Ensure airflow damp-ers are open.

If you have a heat recoveryventilator (HRV), ensure theair intake grille‚ located onthe outside of the house‚ is

clean, the filters and corewithin the unit are clean,the condensate drains prop-erly (test by pouring waterinto the drain pan under thecore and watching the flowthrough the drain tube), andthe HRV is turned on and isset at the right speed.

Remove and store win-dow screens, install stormwindows, and ensure allwindows, doors and sky-lights shut tightly, includ-ing the door between yourhouse and garage; repair orreplace weatherstripping, asneeded.

Ensure that the groundaround your home slopesaway from the foundationwall to decrease the likeli-hood of water draining intothe basement.

Winterize landscaping bystoring outdoor furniture,preparing gardens and, ifnecessary, protecting youngtrees or bushes.

New home? Know yourwarranty insurance coverageYou’ve purchased a new home and youwant to make sure you protect yourinvestment. Start by getting a copy ofyour home warranty insurance policy,and reading it.

Home warranty insurance‚ required bylaw for all new homes built for sale by alicensed residential builder in B.C.‚ protectsyour home against construction defects.While it’s the homebuilder’s responsibilityto obtain the insurance, it’s important forhomeowners to have a copy of the policyso they know what the insurance does anddoes not cover.

Coverage begins on the date when a newhome is either sold or occupied, whichevercomes first. For custom-built homes, cover-age may begin on the date the occupancypermit is issued and the home is ready foroccupancy, if that occurs before the home isoccupied.

As soon as possible after coverage begins,warranty providers are required to pro-vide policy information to the homeowner,including:

• expiry dates on different categories ofcoverage,

• for strata properties, the expiry dates oncoverage that applies to the common strataproperty and to the individual unit, and

• when coverage is conditional on anowner completing proper maintenance,the manufacturer’s documentation or war-ranty information, or a list of recommendedmaintenance and repair procedures.

Warranty providers are sometimes delayedin providing policy information to newhomeowners because they typically rely onbuilders to inform them when a home issold or occupied.If you do not receive your warranty insur-ance documentation within a month ofbuying or moving into your new home, youshould contact your builder or warrantyprovider.

The provincial Homeowner Protection Office(HPO), a branch of BC Housing, can provideassistance if you are uncertain of any detailsyou need to obtain this documentation. TheHPO monitors the performance of the pri-vate sector home warranty insurance sys-tem to protect buyers of new homes.

If you provide your address, the HPO caninform you — if your home was built bya licensed residential builder; if the newhome is covered by home warranty insur-ance; and the name and contact informationof the warranty insurance provider.

Visit www.hpo.bc.ca for HPO contact details,information about home warranty insuranceand other helpful information for homebuy-ers and homeowners.

Choosing the rightgutter protection system

Faced with the prospectof another season spentprecariously climbinga ladder and reachinginside to clear out debrisand leaves, many hom-eowners are consideringthe installation of a gut-ter protection system.And with so many differ-ent types available, find-ing the right fit is alwaysso easy.

A gutter protection systemis a cover or barrier thatprevents leaves and largeitems from lodging in ahome’s gutters and eventu-ally preventing rain runofffrom draining effectively.Clogged gutters and down-spouts have been knownto contribute to rainwaterpooling around the founda-tion of a home, potentiallycausing seepage issues.Blocked gutters can also bea haven for stagnant water,which breeds mosquitoesand other insects andpotentially harmful bacteria.

To combat these issues,manufacturers have comeup with a series of protec-tion systems that allowwater to enter the gutterwhile keeping debris out ofit. Gutter protection systemsrange from do-it-yourselfoptions to professionallyinstalled products. Thereare a few different styles,and each offer their share ofpros and cons.

• Screen: A mesh or screensystem consists of a screen-ing material that fits insideor over the gutter. It servesas a sieve, allowing thewater through but block-ing leaves and debris. Thissystem is affordable and canbe a DIY project. But overa period of time the meshitself can be blocked witha build-up of debris andwill need periodic cleaning.Also, in some screened sys-tems water can freeze up inthe screen openings, caus-ing ice dams.

• Aluminum covers: Thereare many different alumi-num options. Some workwith a small crevice alongthe top that is narrowenough for the rainwater toenter but not allow debrisinside. They may not allowas much water to enter asa mesh system becausethey cover a greater surfacearea over the gutter. Closed

systems also may providean area for insects to makenests.

• Foam inserts: A relativelyinexpensive protection sys-tem is a foam insert. Thesepieces of porous foamare fitted inside the gut-ter, allowing water to flowthrough (albeit a little moreslowly) while keeping leavesout. Foam inserts are aneasy do-it-yourself projectand can serve as a test ofthe efficacy of gutter sys-tems before a more expen-sive system is purchased.

• Surface tension products:These are closed plastic oraluminum products wherethe water entry holes orchannels are on the bottom

and sides of the product.This way nothing can everget clogged from above.The system works by watersurface tension; the rain-water will adhere to theproduct and then flow intothe bottom or side holes.The nose of these productsmay have to be kept cleanor the surface tension maynot occur.

When it comes to gutterprotection systems, thereare a number of options toconsider.

Homeowners can experi-ment with different low-costsystems to see if one worksbefore contracting to havea permanent guard put inplace.

From DIY to professionally installed systems, there’s something for every gutter

Many options available for kitchen renos

When it comes to kitchen renovations, thereare many options available. The do-it-your-self approach offers the convenience of

working within your own schedule and managing thecosts of the materials. However, this is a simplisticview for a major renovation.

One area that is frequently neglected, particularly by manyrenovation-themed television programs, is the cost of per-sonal time during a renovation. There is a great deal of timeinvolved that often is not originally calculated, includingsourcing out unfamiliar product (appliances, cupboards,etc.), co-ordinating the removal of old product, hiring tradessuch as plumbers and electricians, dealing with productdelays and, finally, the installation itself. And this is onlyconsidering a replacement renovation; it does not considerthe time it takes to plan and design a complete overhaul.All this must occur during your regular life.Another consideration that is often miscalculated when

doing projects yourself is the cost of errors. Replacing oldwith new is not always a simple process. Old cabinets maynot be the same size as new, and fitting these may requiresome adjusting. If countertops, backsplashes, flooring andappliances are involved, you will want to make sure every-thing fits and operates perfectly. I have seen do-it-yourselfrenovations where an island was built without allowingspace for the oven door to fully open.

When you hire professionals for a major renovation, youpay for their knowledge and experience at managing theproject from beginning to end. They have suppliers andtradespeople available to provide a complete service andoffer creative solutions to problems that you may not haveconsidered. This enables you to continue with your life assmoothly as living through a renovation can be.

I suggest you consider the following to help you decidewhich approach you plan to follow:What is the extent of this project?

Do I have the skills to do this project completely?Do I have the time to dedicate to this project?What is my budget for this project?

When budgeting, plan an additional 15 per cent to coverthe unexpected. This is also true if you hire professionals.Quotes are offered before the job ever starts. There couldbe hidden costs that no one could estimate until you begin.For instance, if your old cabinets are glued and bolted tothe wall, you may have wall damage that needs to be dealtwith. Rather than removing a few screws, you could end uprebuilding a wall.

Interview a few design companies that offer kitchen renova-tions and you will be better equipped to make the choicethat is right for you.

DriveTımeAcura TSX: three cars rolled into one

The biggest challengewith the TSX has alwaysbeen determining its com-petition. Sold in NorthAmerica as an Acura, it’sknown elsewhere as theHonda Accord (while our

Accord is called the HondaInspire in Japan).

Adding further to theconfusion, the TSX servesas Acura’s entry-level vehi-cle in the U.S., but cedesthat role to the CSX sedan

in CanadaThen there’s the price

— starting just under $32k,the TSX has very few luxu-ry counterparts beyond theLexus IS and VolkswagenCC (both hovering around

$33k). However, that same$32k can get you a well-equipped Ford Fusion,Hyundai Sonata, Mazda6 orToyota Camry. As a result,the TSX finds itself square-ly in a market that perhapsallows it to have a uniqueposition.

So, the best thing youcan do with the TSX is,quite simply, to not worryabout the comparisons.That’s a challenge in theauto industry — wheresuccess is often a relativemeasure — but when youput such concerns aside theTSX makes a lot of sense.

It’s a high-end familysedan, a value-priced luxurysedan, and a sports sedan,all in one. It’s not an obvi-ous choice in any definedmarket segment, becauseit crosses over so many ofthem. And in doing so, itsets itself up as a sedancapable of appealing to a

very wide audience.In this way, the TSX

embodies Acura’s desireto make luxury vehiclesmore accessible to a largerconsumer base. You couldsay the same thing aboutthe flagship RL sedan — inboth cases, you’re gettinga lot of bang for your buckand an extremely rewardingownership experience.

The only area in whichthe TSX lacks is one whereits higher-end siblingsexcel: technology. Acura’sSuper-Handling All-WheelDrive is considered one ofthe best drivetrains you canget, and six-speed automat-ics are now the standard in

many new cars these days.Unfortunately, neither ofthese things can be foundin the TSX — possiblybecause they would makeit a threat to the bigger TL’ssales.

Having said that, theTSX is one of the best val-ued sports luxury sedan inthe market.

DesignThe TSX has a lean and

athletic profile, with hardcreases and a balanced,purposeful stance. It’s nota striking car, edging moretoward the conservative sideof the design spectrum, buthas a pleasing shape thatgives it a broad appeal.

Styling changes for 2011include a simpler frontgrille, updated fog-lampenclosures, and revisedtaillights. The changesare minimal, tweaking anexterior that already lookspretty good.

When it comes to inte-riors, Acura and Audi leadthe pack. The TSX’s cabinis easily one of the best onthe market, with sweepingcurves and a nicely inte-grated LCD screen.

The lip at the top of thedashboard is a particularlynice touch, shading theLCD and providing anelegant finish. Materialsand build quality are wellabove average, serving as aconstant reminder that theinexpensive TSX is more ofa luxury sedan than a fam-ily sedan.

DriveTıme

Notable is the slightlyrough-textured plastic ofthe dashboard, which feelsgood to the touch and givesgreat tactile feedback.

PerformanceA 2.4L inline-four pro-

ducing 201-hp and 172 lb-ftof torque is the base engine,upgradeable with a 3.5LV6 generating 280-hp and252 lb-ft of torque. Bothengines have been refinedfor 2011, reducing frictionto improve fuel efficiency.The four-cylinder is a fan-tastic engine, respondinginstantly and with authority,while the powerful V6 turnsthe Acura into a crediblesports sedan.

The downside of theV6 is that it’s only avail-able with a five-speedautomatic. It’s a solid andquick-shifting transmission,but is short on gears nextto the six, seven, and eightspeeds found in other man-ufacturers’ automatics. Anoptional six-speed manualbrings more excitement tothe inline-four, but gives upsome fuel efficiency.

While many driversbelieve that a sports sedan

has to come with rear- orall-wheel drive, Acuracontinues to challenge thedoubters with the TSX. It’sno longer a surprise that theTSX’s handling is excel-lent, and even still the carremains a joy every timeyou get behind the wheel.

While the TSX is clearlybalanced more toward per-formance than comfort, ithas an excellent balance ofboth luxury comfort andsportiness.

EnvironmentThe TSX is very quiet

on both city streets and thehighway thanks to a new,acoustic-glass windshield,thicker windows, and othersound-deadening improve-ments. Engine noise comesthrough under hard acceler-ation, but for the most partthe car feels and soundsvery relaxed.

The front bucket seatsare comfortable and well-bolstered at the sides, but abit too flat at the bottom toprovide sufficient support.Deeper cushions would bea definite improvement in

both the front and rear.Controls are logically

placed on the dashboardand are spread out so thatthey’re easy to find withouthaving to reach around toomuch. The LCD screen isplaced high at the front ofthe dash, where it’s alwaysin view, and the chrono-graph-like speedometer andtachometer are easy to readin addition to looking great.

There are lots of smallstorage compartmentsthroughout the cabin, butthe trunk is a mixed bag.It’s reasonably large anddeep, but pinches in a lot atthe wheel arches—leavinga very small opening whenthe rear seats are folded—and lacks a completely flatfloor. However, the seatsdo fold down which is areal benefit.

FeaturesStarting at $31,890,

the TSX comes in base,Premium, Technology andV6 Technology trim levels.

Standard equipment onthe base trim level includesABS, Vehicle StabilityAssist with traction control,dual-zone air condition-

ing, tilt/telescope steering,power windows, remotekeyless entry, heated frontseats, seven-speaker stereosystem, Bluetooth, moon-roof, fog lamps, tire-pres-sure monitoring system,and front/side/side-curtainairbags.

The Premium packageadds a leather interior,Xenon headlamps, anddriver’s seat memory, whilethe Technology packageincludes a navigation sys-tem with reverse cameraand upgraded 10-speakersound system.

With the automatic trans-mission, fuel efficiency israted at 9.3L/100km in thecity and 6.2L/100km on thehighway.

Thumbs upBeautiful interior; excel-

lent all-round performance;fantastic price.

Thumbs downIt doesn’t quite know

where to fit in the marketsometimes.

The bottom lineA great sedan with great

attributes.

BMW 3-SeriesThe $34,900 3-Series

comes with a 2.5L inline-six with 200-hp and 180lb-ft of torque, a 3.0Linline-six with 230-hp and200 lb-ft of torque, a turbo-charged 3.0L with 300-hpand 300 lb-ft of torque, ora turbocharged 3.0L dieselinline-six with 265-hp and425 lb-ft of torque.

The 3-Series remainsone of the best mid-sizeluxury sedans you can get,

offering solid performanceand a wide range of drive-train options with its manyengines and rear- or all-wheel drive.

Lexus ISAvailable with rear-wheel

drive or all-wheel drive,the $32,900 IS 250 is theTSX’s closest competitor.It’s powered by a 2.5L V6with 204-hp and 185-lb-ftof torque, while the IS 350features a 3.5L V6 generat-ing a fantastic 306-hp and

277 lb-ft of torque.There’s also the stun-

ningly powerful IS F, witha 5.0L V8 pushing 416-hpand 371 lb-ft of torquethrough an eight-speedautomatic transmission, butat a price of $69,850, it’s acompletely different animal.

Volkswagen CCIntroduced in 2008 as

a fun-loving version ofthe stately Passat, the CCchecks in at $33,375, pow-ered by a 2.0L inline-four

with 200-hp and 207 lb-ftof torque, or a 3.6L V6 with280-hp and 265 lb-ft oftorque. Inline-fours comewith front-wheel drive,while the V6 can only behad with all-wheel drive.

CC stands for “ComfortCoupe”, and while it maybe a four-door vehicle, theCC certainly looks the part.It’s upscale and sporty,offering an interestingalternative to the Passat onwhich it’s based.

Over the years, theInternet has grown from arelative novelty into some-thing households steadfastlyrely on it for nearly everyaspect of life.

Bills are paid online, pro-fessional and personal com-munication is conductedthrough the Internet andcouples even begin relation-ships online.

The Internet has alsochanged the way consum-ers make their purchases.Nowadays, even big-ticketpurchases, like cars, aremade online.

However, some con-sumers still fear using theInternet to find their nextvehicle, preferring to buycars at a local dealership.

While there’s no guar-antee everything will goswimmingly when buyinga car online, there are waysconsumers can lessen theirrisk of being victimized.

Investigate the seller:Consumers can be vic-

timized by a disreputabledealer in person, but thegeneral consensus amongconsumers is such sellersare now more commononline.

That may or may not betrue, but consumers can getpeace of mind by investigat-ing the seller before anymoney exchanges hands.

Once you find a car youlike, email the seller, ask-ing for additional photosand attempt to set up anappointment to see the car.

The seller’s initialresponse will likely speakvolumes. If the sellerresponds with additionalimages and provides timesto set up an appointment,that’s a good start.

Any resistance from theseller should be a major redflag and consumers shouldlook elsewhere.

One great way to inves-tigate sellers is to look fora car through a website likeeBay Motors.

This site has thousands

of car listings and buyerscan click on the seller’sname to read the reviews ofpast customers.

This might not provide awealth of information whenbuying from private sellerswho don’t often sell cars,but it can be a great sourceof information if buyingfrom a dealership or autoshop that routinely sellscars via the Internet.

Investigate the car:The seller isn’t the only

thing that might be a fraud.The car itself might not bewhat it’s cracked up to be.

When shopping for acar online, always get theVehicle IdentificationNumber. This will appear asthe VIN in an ad for the car.

The VIN can be usedto obtain a vehicle historyreport from a company likeCARFAX.

Trustworthy sellers mightprovide the vehicle his-tory report, but if a sellerdoesn’t, that’s not necessar-ily a red flag.

Vehicle history reportstypically cost between $30-40, but sellers can often buyup to five such reports forless than $50.

If a seller has alreadypurchased five and theyweren’t returned by pro-spective buyers, it’s hardto blame the seller for notbuying more. To get thereport, you simply need theVIN.

Once you get the vehiclehistory report, it will revealif the car has been in anaccident, if it’s been vic-timized by flooding, if theairbag has been deployed,odometer readings, numberof previous owners and ifthe car has been resalvaged.

Altogether, this shouldpaint an accurate pictureof what the car has beenthrough.

If the car appears on theup and up, then ask theseller to take the vehicleto your own mechanic forinspection.

If the seller balks at thisrequest, walk away, no mat-ter how good the vehiclelooks on its history report.

Pay the safe way:A personal check, a wire

transfer or a plain old bun-dle of cash is not the way topurchase a car online.

Such payments are nottraceable once the checkshave been cashed, themoney has been wired orthe cash has exchangedhands.

When making payments,do so using a securedbrowser, which will benoted with a URL thatstarts with “https:” and notjust the “http:” of standardwebsites.

But safe buying onlinegoes beyond secure web-

sites. Buyers should alwayspay with a credit card whenshopping online. Doing soprotects consumers againstfraud.

If the car you “buy” isn’tdelivered or it’s been soldto someone else, then thecredit card company whosecard you used can be usedto get your money back.

Notify the companyimmediately. Some websiteseven offer their own pur-chase protection programsto safeguard buyers in thecase of fraudulent pur-chases.

Buying a car onlinemakes some consumersunderstandably nervous.However, when exercisingcaution, buyers can findgreat deals.

Use caution when buying cars online

The Internet can be a good place to purchase cars if you followa few simple steps.

The Sidekick PlayersClub is getting readyto open its 15th sea-

son with Reginald Rose’sTwelve Angry Men nextweek.

Initially staged as a CBSlive production in 1954,the drama was rewritten forthe stage in 1955 under thesame title and again for afeature film in 1957.

The play revolves arounda 19-year-old man who hasjust stood trial for the fatalstabbing of his father.

“He doesn’t stand achance,” mutters the guardas he leads the jurors off todeliberate.

It looks like an open-and-

shut case, until one of thejurors begins opening theothers’ eyes to the facts.

“This is a remarkablething about democracy,”says the foreign-born juror,“that we are notified bymail to come down to thisplace and decide on theguilt or innocence of aman; of a man we have notknown before. We havenothing to gain or lose byour verdict. We should notmake it a personal thing.”

But personal it doesbecome, with each jurorrevealing his or her owncharacter as the various tes-timonies are re-examined,the murder is re-enacted

and a new murder threat isborn before their eyes.

Tempers get short, argu-ments grow heated and thejurors become 12 angrymen. The final verdict andhow it is reached, in tensescenes that will electrify theaudience and keep them onthe edge of their seats, addup to an exceptional pieceof dramatic literature.

“We have a stellar groupof actors bringing thisjury to life,” says directorCarroll Allan. “Several ofthem are first-time actorson the stage, but it’s verydifficult to separate theseasoned actors from thosemaking their acting debut.”

As usual, the cast ismade up of talent thatcomes from all walks of lifeand throughout the LowerMainland.

“We even have an actorthat is travelling fromBowen Island,” says Allan.

Hailing from Deltaare Kristopher Chuback,Mark East, Jake Eng, TedHubert, Vann Besth, JeremyParks, Simon Mortimer-Lamb, John Hedgecock,Todd-Elliot Gates, DerekChristiansen and ScottRennie. Rounding out thecast are David J. Bodor(North Vancouver) andMichael Epp (BowenIsland).

Allan, who foundedSidekick, says Twelve AngryMen promises to be greatstart to an exciting season.

“The community hasembraced us in our newhome and we couldn’t behappier,” she says.

Twelve Angry Men runsfrom Oct. 20 to Nov. 5,with Thursday, Friday andSaturday evening perfor-mances only. Curtain is 8p.m.

Seating is limited soreserving early would berecommended. Call 604-288-2415 to reserve seats.

Tickets are $18 for adultsand $15 for seniors (60+)and students (12-18).

Right on the heels of theopening of the SidekickPlayers Club’s Twelve AngryMen comes auditions forThe Melville Boys.

The local theatre group’sproduction of the NormFoster play is being directedby Taryn Kleeband andproduced by Carroll Allan,which has Kleeband look-ing for four really goodensemble actors.

“The Melville Boys isa typical Norm Fosterscript,” says Allan, “withpathos, warmth and lots ofhumour.”

The club produces atleast one Canadian scriptper season and The MelvilleBoys is the first of two,both written by Foster,Canada’s most prolific play-wright.

Owen and Lee Melvillearrive at a lakeside cabinfor a weekend of fishing,but their plans are thrownout of whack by the arrivalof two sisters who becomecatalysts for a tenderlyfunny and unsentimentallook at four lives in transi-tion.

The Melville Boys willbe in the Tsawwassen ArtsCentre from Jan. 12 to 28,2012.

Audition dates areSunday, Oct. 23 (noon to 2p.m.) and Tuesday, Oct. 25(7 to 9 p.m.) at the Sidekickrehearsal hall in theTsawwassen Arts Centre.

The cast requires twomales and two females, allin their 30s and 40s.

Auditions, which willinclude a cold read from thescript, are on a first come,first served basis. Therewill be no appointments. Itis a non-equity production.

I make my way gingerlydown a steep cobbled streetin Puerto Vallarta’s GringoGulch, past white-stucco,red-tile roofed villas, theirbalconies spilling with pur-ple and orange bougainvil-lea. The shadows are short,and the sun is fierce.

The old town lies atthe foot of the hill, andalthough blatantly touristy,its meandering streets stillhave the power to charm. Ihead into the covered mar-ket (known locally as the“flea market”) with its cor-nucopia of knick-knacks.They are cheap, often taw-dry. But the place bustleswith activity and colour.

I buy an embroideredblouse, and although I knowI’m supposed to bargain,the price is so reasonable Idon’t have the heart to doso. The vendors look crest-fallen; I’ve done them outof the fun of haggling. Sowithout my suggesting it,

they take off 20 per cent offthe price.

Out in the hard sunlightagain, I follow the lane,heavy with traffic, trying tofind my way to the Maleconwaterfront. Flanking theroad, buildings with wallsof parrot green, strawberrypink, flaming orange andcanary yellow, all standside by side under an over-arching indigo sky — apainting in primary blockcolours. Clashing hues inthe normal course, but herein Mexico pleasing to theeye. Eventually I come outon the street fronting theChurch of Our Lady ofGuadalupe.

The church is a PuertoVallarta landmark, andits massive surmountingcrown glitters in the sun.A late morning mass is inprogress, and as I sidle intoone of the pews closest tothe door, a Mexican familysmiles and makes room forme.

In the square in frontof the church, I listen to

a group of musicians per-forming in the coveredbandstand. The rhythms areinfectious and the singerhas a torch-like timbre toher voice, but the CD I buy,as I later find out, has poorsound reproduction.

Am I a typical touristsucker? Perhaps, but that’sOK... it’s the memory thatcounts, and encouragementfor an ensemble tryingto make a living off theirmusical talents.

Along the Malecon, the

waterfront promenade thatstretches for miles, metalsculptures soar against thesky. Each of them is a story,and a metaphor, some anironic commentary on soci-ety, others playful and witty.Often times, though, onesenses an underlying disil-lusionment that manifestsas a cynical wink in three-dimensional form.

Later that day, myMexican guide, Luiz, catch-es up with me. We head tothe Sierra Madre foothills

bordering Puerto Vallartaand drive up a steep wind-ing road lined with vividflame-of-the-forest trees,eventually coming to a haltin a gravel courtyard.

“Welcome to TerraNoble,” says Luiz.

Beyond the stone-flaggedentrance shaded by tallbanana plants, architectJorge Rubio’s Villa Kenya’sthatched adobe building isall soft curves and mouldedclay. Blending into thedécor are flowering bushes,tree trunks and palms.

The living room is opensided, light and airy; plantshang from wicker basketsand striped cotton cush-ions grace rattan couches.A bowl of mangoes add adab of colour to a whitestone counter. There are nosounds other than the splashof water from a nearbypool, the twitter of birdsand the whisper of palmfronds in the light afternoonbreeze. All is green, cooland tranquil.

Across the lawns the

view overlooks part of thetown of Puerto Vallarta —the buildings stacked alonga crescent shaped beach.The sea is a vivid blue andthe high-rise buildings looklike Lego blocks silhouettedagainst the sky.

At the end of a shrub-lined pathway are aro-matherapy rooms whereskilled masseurs rejuvenatemind and body and piped-in music lies softly on theair. Even without the audiosoundtrack Terra Noble is,of itself, a sonata of earthand sky, trees, flowers andwater.

Later, I sip a Margaritain an open-air restaurant onthe Malecon. The night seabreeze is balmy and the skyabove is thick with stars.It’s been a day of strongcontrasts, vivid impressionsand indelible memories.

Falling temperatures and bonechilling rain can make it a chal-lenge to even stand on the side-lines, never mind trying to grip afield hockey stick. Yet, for NeilMcLennan, there is no bettertime of the year for field hockey.

Sure, the provincial teamcoach enjoys working with topplayers each summer under idealconditions. But it still doesn’t addup to the enjoyment of his annualthree-month stint with the seniorgirls team at South Delta second-ary school.

“This is the season I enjoy themost,” McLennan declared. “SureI do the provincial team and highperformance stuff each year butit is just so much fun with thesekids and the things you can dowith them.

“There may be somethingthey’re busy with at school whenwe have a practice but there isstill always 14 or 15 kids (of a 16player roster) out here on aver-age. They want to be here andwith each other. It’s pretty cool.”

The Tsawwassen resident firstgot involved when his daughterswere attending SDSS and theteam was in need of a coach.That was 16 years ago. Along theway, there have been plenty ofhighlights on the field and off ofit, including humanitarian trips toSouth America.

The Sun Devils are typicallyamong the elite teams in theprovince and this season is noexception, despite losing twohigh-profile players to gradua-tion. Sara McManus is attendingUBC and is now a regular withthe senior national team that ispreparing for the upcoming Pan

American Games in Mexico,while Shannon Herold is enjoy-ing an impressive freshman yearat Stanford University.

Even without that top end tal-ent, South Delta has more thanheld its own with other provincialheavyweights, highlighted by asecond place finish at the presti-gious 74th annual Bridgman CupTournament, staged last weekendat the University of Victoria.

An impressive six-game runended with a 2-1 loss to con-sensus number one HandsworthRoyals. The North Vancouverschool netted the game winnerwith just three minutes remain-ing.

With six new players on hisroster, McLennan didn’t expecthis girls to be in such a positionwhen the season began eightweeks ago. South Delta wasfourth at its first big test twoweeks earlier at UBC and provedthey have progressed from thatshowing. Now, anything is pos-sible with the provincial “AAA”championships slated for nextmonth in Kelowna.

“This is a very good team andwe are playing some amazinghockey right now,” he said. “Thesix players we picked up starteda little nervous but the older girlshave done a really good job ofincorporating them into the groupand getting them comfortableplaying at this level.”

Even with McManus andHerold’s departure, McLennanstill has other excellent talent tobuild around.

Senior Emma Mackie hasbeen a mainstay with the nationaljunior team, while Grade 10sCailean Meredith and KristaJensen were recently named tothe national U16 team that will

be playing a series against theUnited States next spring.

A year ago, the Sun Devilssaw their hopes for a provin-cial championship ended with aheartbreaking penalty stroke lossin the quarter-finals. They wenton to finish fifth.

That experience for the return-ing players, combined with thisseason’s success to date, bodeswell with the playoffs on thehorizon.

“We proved in Victoria we canplay with anyone,” McLennanadded. “(The final) was an excel-

lent game, played with a lot ofspeed and it was exciting to bepart of.

“I think it’s really important tolearn how to win and how to playin the tight games. The process isimportant and these girls are get-ting to experience it.”

South Delta begins tough conference schedule Saturday in ParksvilleShould the South Delta Sun Devils qual-

ify for next month’s provincial “AA” highschool football playoffs, they at least knowthey will have earned it.

With four of the five WesternConference teams getting post-seasonberths, it sounds like a simple enoughtask until taking a closer look at the latestprovincial rankings. Each school is rec-

ognized in the top eight, with fifth rankedSouth Delta beginning its league scheduleSaturday on the road against the numberthree Ballenas Whalers.

The Parksville school features a highpowered offence that has averaged over400 yards per game, including 300 throughthe air with 14 touchdown passes. Its mostimpressive result was a one point loss to

“AAA” opponent Centennial in exhibitionplay.

“We’re going to have to be on top ofour game,” said Sun Devils head coachRay Moon. “Nobody is a pushover in ourconference and it’s definitely going to be atough road, especially when you look at theother conferences. Still, I think we have agood shot at winning three, if not all four

of our games.”South Delta is coming off its biggest

win over the season, a 6-0 triumph overprevious top five Seaquam. Mitchell Dinoscored the game’s only points on a 11-yardtouchdown toss from quarterback KyleMenzies. Matt Jutras and Danny Stanger,with an interception, led a terrific effort bythe Devils defence.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Oct. 16 - 22, 2011★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: Soon, what has been anopen relationship will grow more intimate or secretive.“Open” or surface opportunities will become deeper.At least one of October’s agreements (or fights) willsoon turn the corner into funding, commitment andco-operation on crucial, “can’t back out” levels. You’regetting lots of indication, words and messages aboutthese upcoming consequential times – and you’realready looking forward to it, feeling drawn. Sunday/Monday are wise, gentle – someone might show love.Take care of domestic issues midweek. Romance,creative urges soar Thursday/Friday!Taurus April 20-May 20: This is your last week ofwork, health concerns and general drudgery. You seeglimmers of fresh horizons and exciting relationships.Next week these will become full, solid opportunities– to relocate, to form important relationships, makeagreements, negotiate, to grab a bigger piece ofthe business pie, to make new friends. Meanwhile,complete your work so you’ll be free for these moreexciting times. (They begin Oct. 23.) Chase moneySunday/Monday – your luck’s good. Communicatehappily Tuesday, cautiously Wednesday. Yourintuition’s high Friday. Romance, beauty Saturday.Gemini May 21-June 20: You’ve been steeped inthe pleasure and beauty of life all October. It hasn’tbeen a huge swell for most Geminis: that waitsfor 2012. Still, pleasure, romance, creativity andsuccessful speculation continue this week: speakof love, express yourself. Your charisma, energy andeffectiveness soar Sunday/Monday – charge afterwhat (or who) you want (best before mid-afternoonMonday). Your money luck is high Tuesday, but youmeet financial barriers Wednesday: stay “small.”Travel, communicate Thursday/Friday. Your intuitionabout your life is very high: make choices. Home,Saturday.

Cancer June 21-July 22: It’s your last week ofdomestic “overload.” Soon, an exhilarating period ofromance, beauty, pleasure and creativity will beginin earnest – even now you’re receiving strong hintsof this, in words and glances. Continue to be carefulwith money; it will flow swiftly to you, but also awayfrom you unless you clamp down. You’re in a yearof friendships and popularity, especially amongco-workers – among these a lover might appearsoon. Meanwhile (this week) get all the rest you can(Sunday/Monday). Get your house in order, literallyand figuratively. Charge ahead mid-week.Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Early signals arrive, of anapproaching, deep, domestic, security, real estateor similar situation. The signals are good, and soshould the outcome be. Use this week to finish anylarge communications, travel, distribution, paperworkor similar project. Your magnetism, wisdom andcultural interests continue to improve your romanticand practical “chances.” Wishes come true, yourpopularity soars, and social delights, flirtations arriveSunday/Monday. Retreat, rest, lie low Tuesday/Wednesday. Your charisma, energy and effectivenessrise Thursday/Friday – get out and impress someone!Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Continue to chase money,especially Sunday/Monday, when your career luck ishigh. You might feel that debts, guilt, even desiresweigh on you, to early to mid-November. Don’t letthis discourage you from entering into a superbinvestment, therapy, health cure or intimate sharing(whether sexual or simply a deep conversation).The same period is excellent for research. Yourpopularity rises Monday night through Wednesday.Don’t commit to anything long-term, but do have fun,flirt. Retreat, rest and contemplate Thursday/Friday.(Contact government Friday.) You shine Saturday– luck abounds!

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Your energy and charismaremain high. See people, make an impression, startimportant projects. Your popularity remains high,especially with potential partners. Relocating mightmake a dream come true. Wisdom and gentle loveflow over you Sunday/Monday – it’s an excellenttime to hop on a plane, read/write, or apply forschool. You’ll impress higher-ups Tuesday, but runinto career barriers (perhaps from your own home orself) Wednesday. Social delights, friends, flirtations,popularity and wish fulfillment come Thursday/Friday. Avoid legal actions before September 2012.Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: One more week ofseclusion. Continue to rest, recuperate, contemplateand plan (especially Sunday through Tuesday, whenyou can envision the future very accurately). Avoidopinionated stances Wednesday. Thursday/Fridaybring career progress,but bosses are still demandingand temperamental (and will be until Nov. 10) – grinand bear it. By mid-November, through July 3,2012, these same bosses will become friendly, evenfete you. At the very least, those eight monthswill bring rewards at work, and humorous, socialtimes with co-workers. Your hope is renewedSaturday!Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Wishes can stillcome true, but it’s quite likely one has already beenfulfilled this month. Your popularity remains high.You’ve plunged into a year of hard work (June 2011to June 2012) and you’re already starting to seepartial results: things get done, advancement occursin your life. The 14 years ahead might increaseyour property holdings. The latter is a good cure forfree floating anxiety. Sunday/Monday bring excitingmeetings, perhaps potential partners. Tackle choresmidweek. Love, wisdom, travel or higher learning fillThursday/Friday. Big (?) career luck Saturday.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Financial affairs remainvery important to Nov. 10 – especially net worth,investments, debts, other people’s money. Investingin real estate is worthwhile, but take care with othervehicles – impulse outweighs reason. Intimate affairsalso remain intense. You might end a “lust” attractionnow or soon; or you might start one. (It likely wouldnot grow into a marriage.) All these themes arisestrongly Thursday/Friday – luck flows with you, butif you’re unsure, wait: Saturday brings wisdom. Beambitious all week, especially during a work-like,productive Sunday/Monday.Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: It’s a week of love,understanding and “scholarship.” Charge ahead with(but complete rather than start) foreign travel, highereducation, legal, cultural, publishing, religious andsimilar projects. Relationships remain intense (to Nov.10) – this could lead to marriage or intense affairsfor some. (Relationship events/starts at present canlead, by mid-November to June 2013, to deep sexual,intimate affairs – or to impulsive money events.)Romance, creativity and pleasure fill Sunday/Monday.Tackle chores midweek. Those intense relationshipsshow up Thursday/Friday.Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: One week left of mystery,of financial, intimate, sexual and lifestyle choices.Work has been intense and hectic all October – thiscontinues to early-mid November. Keep at it – if youaren’t making more money yet, your efforts will leadto more somewhere. (In November, seven months ofrelationship intensity start.) Rest, enjoy home, natureand children Sunday/Monday. Your romantic, creativeside emerges Tuesday (smooth, successful) andWednesday (barriers). Tackle chores, employmentand health concerns Thursday/Friday. Love andbusiness meetings hold excitement Saturday!
