HST fight over

Chinook collapse too much for Sto:lo DFO minister should pay with her job BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

h e l o c a l S t o : l o Tr i b a l Council (STC) has joined with First Nations across the province to call for the resignation of Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) Minister Gail Shea. The demand is connected to the collapse of spring Chinook numbers in the Fraser River while sports fisheries are allowed to continue in ocean waters. Representatives from some of the 94 First Nations that reside from the mouth of the Fraser River and its tributaries held a press conference in Vancouver on Tuesday and issued a joint statement with their demands. “The First Nations want and expect the DFO to shut down all marine sport and commercial fisheries that could impact early Chinook destined for the Fraser River,” the release stated. “Regrettably, DFO has steadfastly refused to adopt the sweeping and necessary measures demanded by the First Nations.” In the oft-cited Supreme Court of Canada decision from 1990, R. v. Sparrow, it was affirmed that the aboriginal fishery is second in priority only to conservation and ahead of sport and commercial interests. STC Grand Chief Ken Malloway See CHINOOK, Page 11

Annual Mother’s Day Plant Sale this Saturday BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes

hether you’re looking to impress mom with a six-pack of petunias or a pot of jalapeno peppers, the Sardis secondary Mother’s Day Plant Sale is the place to be this Saturday. From 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., students in the school’s sustainable resources (a.k.a. agriculture) program will be peddling all momma’s favourite plants including annuals, perennials, hanging baskets, vegetables and herbs, all at bargain prices. The sale—taking place in the parking lot outside the school’s 1,600-square-foot greenhouse this year—is a popular, long-standing Sardis tradition going back about 30 years. Last year it took in $15,000. The money goes back into the program, which has experienced a renaissance recently.

About two years ago, Sardis science teacher Joe Massey took it over with fellow teacher Tania Toth and breathed new life into the program with extensive renovations to the greenhouse and the addition of a hydroponic vegetable growing component to the Grade 11 and 12 courses. The changes have sparked interest among students. Another block is being added to the school’s schedule next year to accommodate increased registration, and the number of Grade 12 students taking the course next year has gone from six to 20. “It’s been a dumping ground for kids who don’t know what else to take,” said Massey of the program’s past, “but I would love to make this a course where kids see an opportunity for careers and for future school.” Toward that end, Massey has developed some fruitful ties with the community. A number of local greenhouses have stepped up to share their expertise while a partnership with UFV now gives students the opportunity to earn post-secondary credit for their work in the program. Massey is even talking with a local restaurant interested in buying some of the cucumbers, tomatoes and

pposition to the provincial government’s harmonized sales tax (HST) has been so strong in the two local ridings, volunteers have already exceeded the number of required signatures on the petition just four weeks into the 12-week campaign. The Fight HST initiative officially kicked off April 6. Canvassers have until July 5 to collect the signatures of 10 per cent of registered voters in each of the province’s 85 electoral districts to force a referendum. Fo r m e r B. C . C o n s e r v a t i v e Party candidate Ben Besler, the Fight HST regional organizer for the ridings of Chilliwack and Chilliwack-Hope, told the Times Wednesday that they had collected 5,768 signatures or 16 per cent of the electorate in Chilliwack. The threshold was 3,577. In Chilliwack-Hope the threshold was 3,276 and the campaign already has signatures from 5,913 or 18 per cent of registered voters.

1995 Stiff bill to fight gay mag

The fight to keep Xtra! West off the Chilliwack Library’s shelves cost taxpayers $9,484—and in the end, the magazine won. The expensive lawyer bill was to research the implications of taking the gay magazine off the shelves. The magazine was left behind the counter, with restricted access, which suited then mayor John Les“just fine,” he said.

A number of Chilliwack schools, such as Timothy Christian pictured here, are adjacent to farmland and the ALC wants to see the city’s long-term plan for school growth to see if such incursions into the Agricultural Land Reserve might be considered again.

ALC wants some ‘context’

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

Possible school expansion issues

n the wake of the Agricultural Land Commission’s (ALC) damning report on improper boundary adjustments in Chilliwack, focus has turned to the city’s schools, churches and other institutions with land in, or adjacent to, the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). ALC staff met with city staff Wednesday to discuss the report that found 66 boundary subdivisions made in the ALR in Chilliwack between 1991 and 2009 were “inconsistent with the regulations.” While the report was highly critical of many boundary adjustments that allowed for residential housing in violation of ALC rules, there will be no ramifications and no privately owned land will be affected. The commission does want some answers about the five schools and Fairfield Island Park where ALC rules were violated. The commission has ordered the city to make non-farm-use applications for the properties.

Five schools, Timothy Christian, Mount Cheam Christian, Chilliwack C h r i s t i a n ( n ow Un i t y C h r i s t i a n elementary), Unsworth elementary and East Chilliwack elementary all had boundary adjustments that reduced farm parcels to facilitate the expansion of school property. In an interview with the Times Monday, ALC executive director Colin Fry said the reason there is a focus on the schools is that unlike a subdivision for housing, schools might need to expand yet again in the future. As a result, the commission has ordered the city to give them some context about the school situation in Chilliwack as part of a “communitywide planning exercise.” “Unlike subdivisions for residential development, which are usually done and over with, the matter of the schools and park is there is a potential for further expansion,” Fry said. Mayor Sharon Gaetz said staff had a “very productive meeting” and added:

“They are looking at a process to evaluate the needs of schools and other institutions that have land in the ALR.” As to whether or not the agricultural land taken out of use for the school and park boundary adjustments would be taken away again after applications were received, Fry would not say. “That would be premature because we don’t want to give any suggestion that we are not going to be totally objective.” The ALC report was critical of a city policy directive from 1994—a policy still on the books—that encouraged development in the ALR. The policy appears to directly contravene ALC rules. Fry said he did not necessarily interpret it this way, but if asked in 1994, the commission would not have gone along with the directive. “Our conclusion was, had it been referred to us as a potential policy, we would have not had supported it,” he said.

major Chilliwack employer seems to be back on stable ground. Canfor has agreed to sell Uneeda Wood Products, which employs about 100 people, to the Vanderhoofbased BID Group of Companies. The move, which closes on June 1, is good news for Uneeda employees, according to general manager Scott Maxwell. He said it’s “business as usual” at the mill, which he said is returning to its roots as an independent mill. No layoffs are expected, Maxwell said; indeed, the company is presently hiring. “Business is growing. Uneeda was impacted by the downturn in the North American housing market and [that] has recovered this year.” Amongthecompany’sworkers, Maxwell said “the mood is positive because I think the people here appreciate the fact the mill is going back to being an independent mill.” BID president Brian Fehr said the purchase of Uneeda was “an opportunity in the forest industry that made sense.” BID owns seven different companies, including another plant that, like Uneeda, produces fingerjointed lumber. Fehr told the Times he hopes Uneeda will give his company a leg up in securing more business in the Lower Mainland. Fehr, who will be in Chilliwack Friday morning to meet with managers and staff, echoed Maxwell and said no major changes are planned. “We don’t plan on any big changes. We believe in slowly making it a better operation.” He added he has been impressed by the Chilliwack workers. “These guys there, I’ve been very, very impressed with the quality of people at that plant.”

Turning south onto Evans Road off of Luckakuck Way while driving west will soon be possible despite a slip road for such a turn not being included in the original Evans road interchange. The city has received a number of complaints from residents of Orr Road regarding the large volume of traffic using Orr as a turn-around in order to access the southbound slip road for those heading east. At Monday’s meeting, city council awarded the $76,000 contract for the road to Martens Asphalt and McElhanney Engineering Services. Coun. Ken Huttema congratulated staff for their response to the illegal behaviour and to accommodate motorists. The long-term solution for the area is an extension of Orr Road to connect with Knight Road at Evans.

‘Other side’ not shown BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

etro Vancouver’s waste management consultation is underway in the Fraser Valley and so far it’s been even more one-sided than the most vocal critic predicted. Metro staff and politicians were in Hope on Monday for the first in a series of meetings, a process that ends in Chilliwack June 16. “It was frustrating because it was a pretty slick presentation for sure and it was very aggressively pro-incineration, which was disappointing because they had committed to me, at least verbally, that they’d be laying out the different options,” Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) board chair and Abbotsford Coun. Patricia Ross told the Times Tuesday. Ross has been at the forefront of opposition to Metro’s proposal to move away from trucking its garbage to the Cache Creek landfill in favour of building a waste-to-energy incineration plant. Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz supports Ross and agreed the planned consultation was going to be one-sided. “From our perspective we always asked them to show the other side and it never happened,” Gaetz said before the first meeting. At the meetings, Metro staff present a comparison of incineration air emissions with mechanical biological treatments and landfill. The conclusion is that incineration in a wasteto-energy plant would actually create negative net air emissions because energy produced would offset burning fossil fuels. Ross doesn’t buy it and points to a UBC study that found “the addition of any new sources of combustion in the Lower Mainland, including mass burn waste incineration, is simply not

advisable.” Despite the nature of the meetings—with no scientific input provided on the dangers of waste incineration—Gaetz said people should attend and make their voices heard because everything will be recorded and included in the final presentation to the Environment Ministry. The fight over SE2 was won, and Gaetz believes Fraser Valley residents need to have their voice heard over Metro’s waste plan. “Write, write, write,” she advises. “Don’t just sign a petition but put some reasons why it is a bad idea in our community.” Before the consultation began, it was revealed that Metro cancelled funding to a UBC scientist looking at ozone in the Lower FraserValley because he was critical of the idea to build incinerators in the airshed. Metro had provided funding to Dr. Douw Steyn’s $150,000, two-year study, but refused the $15,000 grant this year after the scientist said “It’s a scandalously stupid thing for Metro Vancouver politicians to even consider building incinerators in this airshed.” In an e-mail to Steyn written on April 22, Roger Quan, head of Metro’s air quality division said, “I hope that you can understand that comments that you have made in presentations, and that have been attributed to you in the media have not been well-received by staff or elected officials at Metro Vancouver.” Gaetz said she was “embarrassed” by Metro’s reaction. “I think he’s working on work that is fundamental to our whole area, air quality in this airshed, and if anyone should be contributing to that it should be Metro, as they are sending most of the pollutants our way,” she said. ◗ For a full list of consultation dates and locations visit www.metrovancouver.org.

he RCMP has a weird way of congratulating would-be auxiliary officers on completing their final exams: pepper spray to the face. Twenty-one new auxiliary constables officially graduated Saturday from the RCMP’s rigorous six-month volunteer training program. The training included law courses, intervention training and policing tactics theory. Having completed all that, the would-be members were rewarded with a dose of pepper spray to the eyes so, if they were sprayed by a suspect, they could testify in court that it was, indeed, pepper spray.

I declare Proclamation Day!

’m not sure if you know this, but this week is National Strap An Artichoke to Your Head Week. It’s not very popular because I just made it up. I’m hoping it’ll catch on. Next week is Bring Your Toaster to Work Week, which should prove more popular. Bread is way better toasted than not. But it’s the week after that I’m really looking forward to as it’s Give A Guy with Freckles $10 Week. I accept cash and cheques. The emergence of proclamations for such-and-such week and month and year is not a new phenomenon by any means, but I I feel like it’s getting a little out of control. Usually the causes being promoted are absolutely good ones, no doubt about it, but I have a feeling people start to turn off after a while. Especially when they overlap so much. This week we are in right now, May 2-8, is Emergency Preparedness Week, according to the provincial government; Drinking Water Week, according to the B.C. Water & Waste Association; and it’s also Naturopathic Medicine Week. I have already become confused as I thought this week was Bike to Work Week, but I just realized that’s not until May 31 to June 6. And here I tried to celebrate all

PAUL J. HENDERSON

SimplyA Musing four of the above by riding my bike to work on Thursday with a water bottle full of delicious Sardis-Vedder aquifer water, an emergency survival kit strapped to my back, all while married to a naturopathic doctor. Well, three out of four at least. I’m all for military recollections but even here it is hard to keep track. We all know Remembrance Day is Nov. 11, but I wonder how many people remembered April 9 was Vimy Ridge Day. Of course May 8, is the 65th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) Day. Just before I began writing this I received a press release from the provincial government declaring May 16 to 22 as Emergency Medical Services Week. And, I kid you not, as I was typing that sentence I received another press release via e-mail about the newest provincial proclamation: “Bill Bennett, Minister of Community and Rural Development, joined with Harry Nyce, president of the Union of B.C. Municipalities to announce that May 16 to 22,

2010 has been proclaimed Local Government Awareness Week in British Columbia.” As I told my colleague through the cubicle wall about that, he pointed out that the editor asked him to go take a photo Friday at city hall as Mayor Sharon Gaetz and others participate in Move for Health Day. These days and weeks are all in May, which is Child Care Month in B.C. (see the Times for a story on this next week). Beyond B.C. and Canada the proclamations are even more numerous. Mark your calendar May 25 to 31, which the UN declared Week of Solidarity with the Peoples of Non-Self-Governing Territories. Don’t forget May 9 is Mother’s Day, May 12 is International Nurses Day and May 31 is World No-Tobacco Day. According to a completely unreliable website of monthly observances for May, this month is also Borderline Personality Disorder Month, Brain Tumour Awareness Month, National Vinegar Month (U.S.) and Revise Your Work Schedule Month. And after really digging around, I discovered that today, May 7, is Tuba Day and No Pants Day. Don’t worry, I’m not celebrating either. Happy Mother’s Day moms!

n a historic ruling last week, Peter Milliken, Speaker of the House of Commons, gave a sharp reminder to the Harper government that it does not have absolute power. It’s a message the Conservatives would do well to heed. Twice Canadians have returned them to office as part of a minority government. While Stephen Harper has often chosen to carry on as though the Conservatives had more members than the combined forces of the opposition, that doesn’t change reality. The majority of Canadians elected people from other parties, and those Canadians have a right to have their elected representatives debate important issues —such as our country’s handling of the Afghan detainee issue. Up until this week, the government refused to hand over uncensored documents requested by the opposition, citing national security. The opposition believes the black pens have been wielded for other reasons, namely to avoid political embarrassment. In an immensely heartening decision, Milliken reminded all parties last week that the executive arm of government is constrained by Parliament, and that MPs aren’t just sitting there warming the seats for show. The government, he ruled, can’t keep unedited documents on the Afghan detainee issue from the members of the House, whose job is fundamentally to hold government to account. Milliken also expressed his opinion that finding a solution to how to make those documents available shouldn’t be beyond our parliamentarians. We hope he’s right.

Can we really afford a new look?

Editor: The financial crisis in Greece, Portugal, Spain and beyond, points to governments that have run themselves into the red with little or no ammunition left to fight a financial meltdown. So far Canada has stayed above this crisis and in control of our debt load. Here at home in Chilliwack we had a great military base, CFB Chilliwack, which also provided us with a welcome financial bulwark. Militarily it provided Canada with a key military base on the West Coast. The engineers built and constructed facilities including the Cheam Centre. Then came the Trudeau years, along with his chosen successor, Chretien, best described as a true political thug. Neither had much love or use for the military, and Chilliwack was on the wrong side of Liberalism. It came as no surprise that CFB Chilliwack became a liability, and facilities freshly built simply closed up with the engineers transferred to other bases. Luckily, the RCMP took over some of the newly built facilities.The school district and the University of the Fraser Valley showed some interest in some of the remaining space and facilities—some brand new and never used. There was the large, blue glass and steel-framed engineering school, a possible site for the university campus. But to Craig Toews, masterminding the renovation, the sight of this building appeared to him much like a battleship. In his mind’s eye it would not be compatible to the quiet exchange of ideas, creative and intellectual thoughts of our young and perhaps impressionable students. And thus the building, never used, is now being deconstructed, with the steel architecture being pulled out and replaced with wood to create a warmer and friendlier feeling. Millions will be spent to create this transformation. But, consider the times we presently live in, the spending of millions of dollars to create a warmer, fuzzy feeling. This money comes from

Questioning trustee’s logic Editor: If school trustee JohnHenry Harter really wanted to save money for the board as he stated at last Tuesday’s school board meeting, then he could continue to attend the board meetings but turn his stipend over to the school board for half of the $50,000 he estimated they would save by cutting two board members. One questions the logic when the same story also points out that the board previously passed a motion to pay $50,000 to continue membership in the B.C. School Trustee’s Association after there had been a discussion as to the viability of that membership. Andy Fraser, Chilliwack

Getting smellier and smellier Editor: I see our local MLA is bringing more much-needed publicity to Chilliwack, publicity we can do with out. Seems now he is involved with a second land deal that the ALC has declared a no no. Mr. Les, I really think, for the good of this city, you should resign as soon as possible. The news keeps

getting worst. How many more surprises are we going to have to go through before there is an end to this charade? I think also the RCMP should take a longer, more in-depth look at the goings on at city hall over the past few years. There seem to be the same names popping up from city hall over and over again in connection with these questionable land deals. I can see why nobody at city hall, from the mayor on down, wants to talk about any of this. This whole stinking mess keeps getting smellier and smellier all the time. Enough is enough; we deserve better from local and provincial politicos. John Les, your time is now. R.B. Anderson Chilliwack

Need for more transparency Editor: Recently, RCMP Assistant Commissioner Bud Mercer refused to reveal the costs of 2010 Olympics security. This is certainly not a national security concern nor could it be of any interest to terrorists. Consequently, one can only surmise that they are disturbing, which is not surprising; however, the public has every right to know where their funds are spent, particularly when so many social programs were terminated to accommodate the event. As well, this matter deserves a forthright answer, which has caused much criticism of the force. There is also the matter of 11 members having been returned to their home detachments

for “misbehaviour,” one allegedly involving the commission of a sexual offense aboard one of the two cruise ships made available for accommodation during the Games. A twelfth involved the apprehension of a staff sergeant caught shoplifting and being returned to her home posting in Ottawa. There being ongoing negotiations currently underway for another 20year contract in this province and assurances of a new era of accountability and transparency in the force, one has to be excused for being skeptical. Ken Rowe Chilliwack

We all breathe the same air Editor: I was reading an article on pollution and the fact that those that pollute are allowed so many parts per million (PPM) of this or that toxic substance within certain parameters. The article went on to say that those pollutants are not evenly dispersed after they have left their point of emission and that they can be funnelled by air currents consistently along a certain path. On occasion I go to the lookout point at Mission’s Westminster Abby, usually in the morning and when it isn’t raining. As I left Abbotsford the other day, it looked a little hazy but on the way to Mission the sky was clear. From the lookout point, it was plain to see what had been obscuring the blue sky, a low cloud of pollution, very dark in parts. Over the last few years this cloud has not been an uncommon site from that vantage point as it makes its way from Vancouver through Surrey, Langley, Aldergrove, Abbotsford and Chilliwack on out to Hope picking up more pollutants along the way. If a waste-to-energy plant is built anywhere in the Lower Mainland its highly toxic nano particulate emissions will undoubtedly be added to the toxic soup already there but in much greater density or PPM than allowable at the points of emission.

In Abbotsford we live on pollution’s preferred path from Vancouver to Hope, only some days it’s more visible than others, but we still breathe it in as do all who visit the valley. Gary Huntbatch Abbotsford

Old house had greater value Editor: When a clay pot or arrowhead or possibly an old bone is found, we are expected to stare at it and ogle it and pay $11.6 million to display it to remember yesteryear. That is $11.6 million of white-man tax dollars paying for the new show & tell museum going up at Sto:lo Nation. But when it comes to preserving white history, i.e., the Old Coqualeetza House, the values abruptly change. Smash it down, it’s an eyesore, we don’t use it anymore. If that house were on freehold land, it would have had heritage status. It was a character home, one of Chilliwack’s iconic landmarks. Shame on you Joe Hall for knocking the 1894 house down, especially when the house had still the grandeur and propensity to out-live any other house in this town. If you go to Canada Lands on Keith Wilson Road right now and look at the effort that’s being made to move these tiny insignificant little shacks, they don’t have even one tenth the character or significance that the Old Coqualeetza House had. How do you come to value what you do? Shame on you, Joe Hall. You have no one to be accountable to and your leadership skills sure don’t reflect the respect or responsibility you purport to have for Sto:lo Nation. By virtue of your inability to lead this project to success, it makes me wonder what other decisions you make to Sto:lo Nation’s demise? Lothar Drews Chilliwack

Faith Today BY VERN TOMPKE Vineyard Community Church

ou “God-believers,” have you ever wondered, “Am I just talking to myself?” Do those of you who don’t believe in a God ever have one of those moments where you sense there is someone or something behind this whole thing? Recently I completed a series of talks exploring faith and doubt. As I talked with people afterwards, I realized my questions gave believers a place to voice their doubts —sometimes for the first time. It also gave skeptics permission to ask faith questions without feeling like they were going to be pressured to “sign up.” You see, many of us have had the experience of showing up at a friend’s place to find out they have a white board set up and a special opportunity awaiting us. There is probably no issue more basic to faith than the question of the existence of God. It is the question which effects so many others. Mortimer Adler writes: “more consequences

Is there a God?

for thought and action follow the affirmation or denial of God than from answering any other basic question.” So who is qualified to answer, or at least wrestle with this question— the scientist, the philosopher, the believer, the atheist, the pastor? Who is truly unbiased? The simple answer is that none of us are. We know that believers aren’t. How about atheists? Listen to what the following “honest atheist,” Thomas Nagel said: “It isn’t just that I don’t believe in a God and, naturally, hope that I’m right in my belief. It’s that I hope there is no God. I don’t want there to be a God. I don’t want the universe to be like that. I am curious whether there is anyone who is genuinely indifferent as to whether there is a God.” What Nagel is saying is that we all have a vested interest in this question—whether

you are Billy Graham or Richard Dawkins (or somewhere in between). Now let me be clear. Nobody is going to “prove” their position either way. Even many commonly held scientific beliefs (such as the theory of plates tectonics) are unprovable. They just happen to be the best explanation from the observable evidence we have gathered to date. Perhaps it would be more helpful to switch our language to that of evidence. Like good spiritual CSI agents, we can ask what explanation best fits the evidence we see around us. In a future article, I will try to draw your attention to what many have pointed to as some of the “divine fingerprints” we see in the world around us. Bertrand Russell, a well-known British atheist of the last century, describes the col-

lapse of his faith when as a young person nobody could answer the question ‘Who created God?” True materialists, however, have a greater problem than ‘believers’. No matter how you slice the material universe down to its smallest or earliest point, you still end up with a physical reality that can’t explain its origin. Many would say, one way or another, you must eventually get to an origin outside of physical matter. If tonight you hear a big bang outside your house, you might believe that it “just happened”—or you might believe that something or someone caused it. I don’t know about you, but I am going to get out of bed to check. Scriptures tell us that “Anybody who comes to Him must believe that he exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek him.” It is my great and biased hope that you would experience the truth of this discovery for yourself! ◗ Vern Tompke is the team coach at theVineyard Community Church and welcomes your comments at vtompke@shaw.ca.

said the Sparrow decision is being ignored since there is not even enough fish for food, social and ceremonial for First Nations, yet sports fishers in the Juan de Fuca Strait are currently allowed to catch two fish a day. “They are violating the law of the land as far as the Sparrow decison goes,” Malloway told the Times Wednesday. “This from a supposed law and order government.” Malloway said local Sto:lo have taken a number of cutbacks over the years to the Chinook fishery. In 2008, First Nations were responsible for 24 per cent of Chinook bound for the Nicola Valley, according to Malloway. Last year that was down to 14.1 per cent while sports fishers were responsible for 33.7 per cent of the mortality. Now, he says, DFO is “begging us to go fishing so they can justify keeping the Juan

de Fuca fishery.” “We are in quite a predicament this year,” he said. “We’ve never ever had DFO coming to us begging us to go fishing. Always they are trying to stop us from fishing.” In the joint statement issued this week, Chief Fred Sampson of the Nicola Tribal Association said that given the endangered Chinook stocks, he is grateful for all First Nations bands that have refrained from fishing for early-timed Chinook. “The call for the minister’s resignation is warranted given that these extremely low runs are the product of years of mismanagement of the Chinook fishery by DFO,” Sampson said in the release. “The department’s refusal to close the fisheries that could impact early-timed Fraser Chinook is unconscionable.” Shea’s office said DFO is managing fisheries with conservation as the highest priority.

Area E updating OCP BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

ultus Lake, Chilliwack River Valley and other FVRD Area E residents have a chance to make their voices heard about the future of their communities next week. With the area’s Official Community Plan (OCP) more than 15 years old, an update is in the works and the public is invited to add its two cents. “Our Official Community Plan is certainly due for an update,” Area E director David Lamson told the Times. The FVRD will hold open houses Monday and Tuesday for the public to take a look at the current OCP along with maps and aerial photos of the area. Residents will also be able to express their views on what the next plan should look like. The OCP is a key document used by planners and elected officials to guide future zoning changes and other community policies that shape the future of an area.

Lamson and FVRD staff will be on hand to receive input from residents. And the presence of the public at the meetings will be crucial to the development of the new plan. “I think it’s really important that people come out and look and see and have their say about where the future of the community will go,” said Lamson. “All of the info and comments from the public will be recorded.” Open houses are held Monday at the Chilliwack Fish and Game Club, 48685 Chilliwack Lake Rd., and Tuesday at Columbia Valley Community Hall, 1202 Kosikar Rd., Lindell Beach. On either day, residents can drop in between 5 and 7 p.m. or take part in a group discussion between 7 and 8 p.m.. The FVRD is also seeking volunteers for the Advance Planning Committee that will advise the FVRD’s regional board on community issues. Prospective volunteers should contact planninginfo@fvrd.bc.ca with their interests, community service history and relevant abilities by May 19.

Protect your valuables this summer

ith the sun ever-so-slowly returning to the Lower Mainland, the RCMP is reminding the public to take care of seasonal recreation items that may be attractive for thieves. Users of boats, scooters, ATVs—basically anything with a motor—should make sure to properly store and secure their toys, along with the trailers that haul them. Property left in driveways, carports, backyards or at a summer cottage are prime targets for thieves, according to RCMP spokesperson

Cpl. Lea-Anne Dunlop. The police have compiled the following tips for property owners: ◗ Do not store items on trailers. ◗ Clean out your garage so you can use it to store your valuable items inside. ◗ Purchase a trailer lock that cannot be cut by bolt cutters. ◗ Check your seasonal property periodically or make arrangements for someone to check it for you. ◗ Don’t leave valuables in seasonal property not visited for extended periods of time.

Plenty of ball for AA club

fter a weekend without games, Chilliwack’sPeewee AA Cougars made up for it with four games in two days last weekend. The Cougars split a Saturday doubleheader with Ridge Meadows Gold, losing the first game 10-4 before rebounding and winning the second game 10-4. Ridge Meadows took a four-run lead into the fourth inning of the first game before Chilliwack responded when Devyn Heggs’s double drove in Anthony Pharand and Colin Kellington. Ridge put three runs on the board in both the fifth and seventh innings while Chilliwack could only respond with a pair in the sixth on singles by Jordan Scherby, Kellington and Heggs. The Cougar’s pitchers were at their best in the second game, allowing only eight hits over seven innings. Hot bats and a single by Pharand and a double by Heggs allowed them to leap to an early three-

Dragonboaters make big impact

udden Impact dragonboat teams, who train out of Cultus Lake, are making big waves on the water and leaving other clubs in their wake.

Sudden Impact Black (the top level racing team) placed third overall and came home with the bronze medal at the Dash at Deep Cove in North Vancouver on April 24. The SI Blue team (beginner and recreational paddlers) placed third in the

On May 1 at the Bill Alley Memorial Regatta at Barnet Park in Burnaby, the SI Blue team placed second in the gold division (the second highest division).

“The water conditions were challenging with tide changes, wind and waves, but they fought through it, coming sixth overall out of 24 teams,” said Davidson. Liquid Silver junior team made it to the gold final at the Bill Alley Memorial and finished fourth in a close race. At the end of the day they competed in a challenge race and took first place and the trophy.

NEW SPORTS TECHNOLOGY

New golf club’s secret metal may hit too far on some par-4’s. Coating on surface derived from armor-piercing metal used by military. Largest head size allowed. BRAMPTON, ON– A small company in the U.S. has taken the largest head allowed under the Rules of Golf, and souped it up with a coating derived from a once-secret metal developed by the Department of Defense to pierce enemy armor. The coating hits with a force twice as hard as steel, 70% harder than titanium. With that much punch a good golfer by Mike Butler could turn some par-4’s into par-3’s. That’s not what officials had in mind when they set a 460 cc size limit on clubs. Golf officials were trying to restrict distance, and they still are. There is talk of new rules requiring manufacturers to tone down their balls. Good luck. Manufacturers will always push the envelope, and the maker of this club is no exception. Look what it’s done. First, it chooses a club head that goes right to size limit, then it slips in under the radar with a coating that comes from the tips of torpedoes and armor-piercing shells. Nothing wrong here, unless the club provokes a new rule. And it might. Here’s how it performed when a pro and other golfers tested it. 20-40 yards farther One golfer hit seven out of eight shots 20 yards farther with the new club. “I wish I hadn’t just spent $400.00 on mine,” he said. A ten-handicapper, who also plays a $400.00 driver, hit the new club 40 yards farther. He said,

“I’m not doing anything. It seems to swing itself.” Another golfer who had just bought a 460 cc driver (they can cost $400.00 to $500.00) wanted to get his money back. A husky golfer who swings at about 120 MPH actually cracked a ball with it. Another golfer hit five of his seven drives from even to ten yards past shots he hit with his own driver, a $449.00 club. A former PGA pro who played it in California said he had to club-down to a 3-wood on several par-4’s. A 21-time long-ball champion in the U. S. said of the 500 drivers he’s used over twenty years, this one hit farther with less effort than any of them. One golfer begged the company to let him take it with him for a week in California. A low-handicapper curved several shots around imaginary dog legs 220 yards out. The club’s huge sweet spot gave him more room to work the ball from toe to heel. I asked a Director of the company that developed the club, called the Controller® 460, for comments. He lit up. 70% harder than titanium “This is the driver of all time! Tell me how anything can beat this: A driver with a maxed out head and sweet spot, a coating derived from a metal used by the military to pierce enemy armor – steel and titanium are too weak to do that – a clubface twice as hard as steel, 70% harder than titanium, a 45 1/2 inch, 69-gram high-fiber, graphite shaft that cracks through the air like a bull whip. What’s left! Look at those shots! That guy over there will shoot scratch golf. “We’re giving golfers 30 days to play it. If their scores don’t drop big time, they can send it back and we’ll refund its price promptly.” Big drivers hit big shots. That’s why there’s a 460 cc limit. A 460 cc driver with a 70% kicker hits really big shots. The company lets you play the Controller® 460

I think my mom is the best mom in the world. I love it when she gives me lots of hugs and when I’m sick she won’t leave my side. Smart? Absolutely, when I need help with my homework she’ll help me. My mom is very good at gardening. She is good at helping me with my title pages. My mom would probably like reading the best. I love my mom and don’t want her to change. Love: Tanner Out of every mom in the world, my mom would absolutely have to be the best one. Ever since my mom was a kid she has been a big fashion diva. I am glad because I like how she looks. Not surprisingly, my mom wants me to be safe like when she doesn’t want me to do dangerous stunts. My mom is caring when I am hurt or have an injury by giving me medicine and tries to help. When I have soccer my mom will drive me there and watch me play. She is my biggest fan. So, like I said, my mom is one amazing mom. From: Zach My mom is the best because she is the best cook I have ever known. She also is really kind and she is definitely not mean. She always laughs at your jokes, and she always is there for you. She collects wonderful fairies, and likes to display them. In my opinion, my mom is the best! Nick My mom is incredible. I think she in incredible because she is funny and always helps me on my

Out of every mom in the world. I think my mom is creative as she loves to garden. My mom likes to buy old things such as cabinets, doors, all that kind of stuff. My mom is an amazing cook especially when she bakes a cake. Tyler Des Rochers Since I can remember, I’ve always known my mom as the absolute best mom ever! My mom is very smart with gardening, advice, homework, cooking without recipes, and with fashion. She adores expensive clothes with name brands like BABY PHAT. My talented mom is great at singing and art. I guess it runs in the family. Although I can’t do problem solving that well, my mom can. Interestingly, my mother loves expressing her creative side and she loves to make international meals. Aside from the fact that she can do all those things, she is also very generous with neighbours and siblings. Above all that, the thing I love most about her are her snugly hugs and her sparkly eyes!

I’m here to tell you about my mom. She’s nice, caring, but she can be embarrassing like when I was in the mall I was bugging her and she embarrassed me so bad I went in the car. She’s not home a lot because of work. When she is we usually bake. My mom has a secret recipe its so good my mom got it from her mom my G,ma, of course! And by way my mom is very special. Alex

Lovingly my mom is the best person in my life. When I need help with my homework she will help me. During family time my mom can tell some really funny jokes likely to make you laugh. My mom is very good at giving advice when you need some. Making gorgeous floral decorations is a talent of hers. Since she is very creative she is very good at drawing and painting beautiful yet genuine pictures. Also my mom is very generous. When someone is sick she will go visit them and get them something to make them feel better as soon as possible. If I had to choose anyone to be my mom I would have choose my mom. Sarah Noel

Growing a beautiful yard the natural way BY CARSON ARTHUR HGTV

(NC)—One of the best ways to keep your yard truly green is by using compost effectively. Many gardeners have started to move away from chemical fertilizers and are moving toward ecological choices, such as composting, as a way to reduce waste and make the garden greener. Composting is nature’s way of recycling; the process decomposes and transforms organic material into nutrient-rich soil. A perfectly good compost pile can be built out of nothing fancier than leaves and grass clippings. Other ingredients can include: fruit and vegetable scraps, yard trimmings, paper, wood, and organic kitchen waste that is not protein-based. Think about adding some soil if the compost container or pile isn’t in contact with the ground because soil organisms do the decomposing work.

05074109

It usually takes six months to a year to get soil from the composting process; a good way to speed up this process is to regularly mix your compost to allow air into the pile. Once the process is complete, follow these three tips to use your new soil effectively: 1. Topdressing: This is a great way to ensure your lawn will be the envy of the neighbourhood. First aerate the entire area before topdressing with compost using an aerator—most garden centres will have aerator units for rent. After you have completed this process, spread a half inch of compost overtop using a rake, and water thoroughly. 2. Vegetable gardens: by incorporating roughly one-inch of compost into the soil with a rototiller or by hand to a depth of roughly five inches, you set up the vegetable garden to be a nutrient-rich spot for bountiful growth. However, be sure not to apply too much compost as some vegetables will not grow well if there are too many nutrients present.

3. Mulching: This is another form of composting in which a layer of organic material is added on top of the soil. It mimics what happens on the forest floor where leaves drop to the ground, break down over time and then are taken back up into the plants as food. It is a slow but efficient way of both composting and preventing air-born weeds from spreading. An excellent source for mulch is lawn by-product. Using a mower like the Black & Decker, 18-inch electric corded mulching mower, gardeners can collect and shred every blade of grass or fallen leaf in a convenient detachable rear bag that makes redistribution easier. These clippings are an excellent source of nitrogen for your favourite plants.

◗ Carson Arthur is best known as HGTV’s landscaping host from Green Force and Global’s Room to Grow. He focuses on creating harmony between urban needs and ecological choices.

www.newscanada.com

Not everything is compostable, but one of the best sources of compost is lawn byproducts. Mulching mowers with bag systems are ideal at collecting them.

Q: I have had at least 25 tulips decapitated over several days. The stem is ‘chewed through’ at varying heights between two to five inches from the bloom. There is no visible damage to the leaves or fallen blossoms so it’s unlikely children or dogs. No feeding has taken place. Would appreciate any ideas on who the offender is and possible future solutions. Robin Ripley E-mail A: Are your tulips doubleflowered? Doubles are topheavy—and the high winds we’ve had lately might have toppled them. Deer often decapitate tulip flowers but, as far as I know, always eat them. Racoons can be randomly destructive but usually eat as well as shred. Once in nestbuilding season I was stunned to see a robin fly past the kitchen window with a primrose in its beak. But tulips are pretty hefty flowers and not flexible enough for nests. Because I can’t pinpoint a culprit, I did some research and discovered other gardeners have the same problem, including one who apparently saw a squirrel decapitating tulips. Rats also get blamed. Are there marks of little teeth on the ‘chewed’ stems? Or tiny footprints on the soil? Maybe some evil-smelling repellent would protect your tulips. Or a spray of cayenne pepper or sudsy ammonia. Both need renewal after rain. You might tr y putting something on the ground that four-footed creatures wouldn’t like to walk on—wire or thorny stems or prickly leaves. Perhaps a temporary netting surround might help. Most furry creatures might be scared away by a motiondetector triggered water spray. Lee Valley Tools sells a ‘Scarecrow’ device which does this. It’s an expensive way to protect tulips alone, but if you have other critter problems too it could be worthwhile. Q: We have a 15-year-old

ANNE MARRISON

Green Thumb mature camellia plant with healthy leaves. It gets lots of sun but its blossoms are not opening up fully like they used to. How can we get it blossoming fully? Owen Chan Vancouver A: When buds are healthy but don’t open fully, the condition is called ‘bullnosing.’ It’s caused when temperatures around the time of bud development and flowering are somewhat warmer than usual. The same effect can be caused by temperatures that fluctuate wildly from too cold to unusually hot in the budforming season. Camellias are very sensitive to temperatures and changes can trigger them into growing vegetatively (producing new shoots, stalks and leaves). They throw all their energy into that and abandon the flowers. Some camellia varieties (mainly older types) are more likely to do this. It’s possible your camellia is responding to more fluctuating warmth and sun than there was in the past. Camellias don’t like lots of sun. They’re a woodland plant that does best in part shade Perhaps it’s next to a wall? Heat radiated from a wall will increase the effect of high temperatures and dryness from roof overhangs and can be a problem for camellias. It would help to give it the best treatment possible. Camellias need lots of water but they also need good drainage so that the water doesn’t hang around their roots for long. They also like lots of organic matter. A yearly mulch of compost, leaf mulch or possibly Sea Soil would help. ◗ Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions. Send them to her via amarrison@shaw.ca.

Making the right choice

(NC)—If you are in the market for a new laundry pair, chances are you’ve heard a lot of new terms as you walk the floor of your local appliance retailer: high-efficiency, top-load, front-load. Without a lot of information, it can be hard to navigate and even harder to be sure that you’re making the right laundry choice for your family. What is high-efficiency (or HE) laundry and what can my family expect? ◗ In the past, if you were looking for a high-efficiency laundry pair, a front-loading machine was the only option. A number of Canadians prefer top-loading laundry but have had to choose between high-efficiency or the easy-to-load ergonomic format of a top-load washer. But manufacturers have listened. You

can now have a high-efficiency laundry pair in the style that suits you best—top-load or front-load. ◗ A high-efficiency washer uses a lot less water, energy and detergent to clean clothes. With a high efficiency laundry pair like the Maytag Performance Series Front-Load Washer, there is 70 per cent less water to heat, compared to conventional washers, so costs are cut right from the start. ◗ High-efficiency washers do not have an agitator to move clothes through the washing cycle. Instead of an agitator, clothes are tumbled through a much smaller amount of water. Because of this tumbling motion, the water level doesn’t need to cover the entire load, so your clothes get completely clean while using

3 GOOD REASONS TO REPLACE YOUR Cornelia Naylor/TIMES

Brandyn Bosman-Rothwell (second from left) laces up with some of her “Buddies” —her brother Ty, her dad Tom Rothwell and his partner Ashleigh Brewer. Brandyn’s Buddies are getting ready for the Telus Walk to Cure Diabetes next month but their fundraising starts this weekend. The highlight of the season, however, is the Telus Walk to Cure Diabetes at the Greater Vancouver Zoo in Aldergrove scheduled for June 13 this year. This will be Brandyn’s third walk. Now eight years old and in Grade 3 at Unsworth elementary, she now takes an active part in the group’s activities. “She gets right into it,” said Rothwell. “She’s actually quite the little promoter. I’m thinking it might be something she wants to look into for a career.” More importantly, however, he says

fundraising gives Brandyn a chance to work towards a future without needles and the need to constantly monitor her diet and activities. “It provides hope that one day they will find a cure and we won’t have to do this all the time,” he said. “It makes her feel like it’s not forever.” ◗ For more information about Brandyn’s Buddies, visit www.brandynsbuddies. webs.com or call Asleigh at 604-316-5620.

ive years ago, when Tom Rothwell noticed his three-year-old daughter Brandyn was pale, listless and losing weight, he took her to the doctor. The diagnosis didn’t take long—Type 1 diabetes. For a time it felt like the end of the world. Since then, nothing about Brandyn’s activities or food intake has been taken for granted, and twice a day she receives insulin injections— something Rothwell still hasn’t gotten used to. “I hate it,” he said, “I feel absolute guilt every time I have to give her a needle.” Three years ago, however, Brandyn’s family decided not to take diabetes lying down. They formed a group called Brandyn’s Buddies to raise awareness and money for research. Last year they raised over $2,000 and won the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Fraser Valley Leaps and Bounds Award for the team with the greatest percentage increase in donations and participation over the previous year. Brandyn’s Buddies are kicking off another season of fundraising this month. Today and Tomorrow, May 7 and 8, they are selling homemade Mother’s Day cards at the Chilliwack Mall. On May 22, the group is hosting a fundraiser at Corky’s Irish Pub and Sports Bar from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. for $15.

Les says HST not fairly discussed Assisting seniors in our community. HST, from page 1

Provincewide, organizers said the initiative passed the 300,000-signature milestone this week with 155,000 collected just last week. “This is quite the feat we have accomplished,” Besler said. “We are going to carry on until people stop wanting to sign.” Chilliwack MLA John Les reiterated the government’s assertion to the Times Thursday that economists across the political spectrum think harmonizing the PST and the GST will help to build a strong economy and provide more jobs. “I’m certainly personally frustrated the benefits of a harmonized sales tax regime are not being fairly discussed and people with perhaps a more of a political opportunistic agenda have jumped all over it and have, frankly, propagated a lot of apprehension about his tax,” he said. Les conceded the speed at which the HST was implemented might have led to some suspicion and to the backlash, but he argued, it was important to do at the same time as Ontario for competitive reasons.

He said the controversy reminds him of the GST debate in the 1990s and that, as with the GST, most people will get used to it. Asked whether he thought HST anger would blow over by the 2013 provincial election, Les said it would happen much sooner than that. “When all is said and done at the end of the day, a few small adjustments will be required here and there, but before we get too far into July, people will realize there has been a lot of hate generated about this but perhaps not enough light,” Les said. Besler said the Chilliwack and ChilliwackHope ridings are leading the way in the Fraser Valley. Five out of the seven valley ridings have crossed the 10 per cent mark and the two others, Abbotsford-Mission and Abbotsford West, are close. The Fight HST campaign led by former premier Bill Vander Zalm has reached the 10 per cent threshold in 44 ridings across the province. “It’s not too unforeseeable to see another 20 ridings next week,” Besler said. Fight HST is aiming for 15 per cent of voters in each riding and has achieved that goal in 17 ridings.

Young take on classic Half Past Theatre puts King Lear on the boards

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

f you weren’t there to see her young face as she listened to the actors and hear her young voice as she gave direction, you might think Cait Archer was a much older, seasoned theatrical director. But at just 19 years old, Archer is the brains behind Half Past Theatre, a group of young thespians doing plays in the “off-season” when she and others aren’t at school in UFV’s theatre program. This week Archer and her troupe were rehearsing King Lear, their fifth show since they kicked things off with Romeo and Juliet in Spring 2008. “I chose King Lear because its themes of justice and reconciliation always struck me as very relevant,” says Archer. “In the play, not everyone gets what they deserve. The ‘bad guys’ aren’t always punished, and the ‘good guys’ aren’t always rewarded, and sometimes the line is blurred as to which is which. The characters are all dynamic and nuanced, and the actors have been really enthusiastic about exploring the interpretations of their characters.” King Lear will be the third Shakespeare play they’ve taken on, but this one will have a twist. The production is being staged in 1930s Chicago, with King Lear as an Al Capone figure, dividing up his stake of the family business between his daughters. Archer says to expect jazz, fedoras and violin cases that may or may not actually contain musical instruments. The cast of 16 actors, ranging in age from 14 to 22, bring the timeless story of an aging king and his three daughters to life, and stars Danny Campbell as the titular cantankerous king. The production designers are Katherine Beswick and Gabriel Kirkley. Half Past Theatre incorporated as a non-profit society in December 2008. Previous productions have included Pride and Prejudice in July 2009, A Midsummer Night’s Dream in May 2009, and Chekhov’s The Seagull in August 2008.

Mann, this guy’s good

pirit of the West founder John Mann performs solo in a Harrison Festival Society presentation at the Harrison Memorial Hall on May 15 at 8 p.m. Mann, a 25-year veteran of the Vancouver music scene, is best known as the front man and songwriter for Spirit of the West and recently as an actor both on TV and stage. After 11 albums and countless tours of the UK, Europe and North America with Spirit of the West, Mann decided to return to his stripped-down alt-folk roots. He created a solo project called Mister Mann and released the album December Looms late in 2007. On the new album, Mann pens beautiful melodies with emotionally honest lyrics that capture the intimate moments of his hometown Vancouver. These are the stories of real people, from the fragile details of their dysfunctional loves to the loss of a city’s innocence. One critic stated the strength of the album is: “Just John, a guitar and his trademark gravelly voice perfectly suited to the songs about his port town: Vancouver.” What the cr itics keep coming back to when reviewing this powerful

May 9 - 15

Aries March 21 - April 19: Continue to chase money.You can start new projects lateTuesday onward, especially in earnings, possessions, rote learning and sensual gratification. You’re raring to go Sunday eve into Tuesday – your energy and charisma will surge upward. But this might be slightly too soon, unless you’re charging in to fix a past matter. (Still, take care Sunday – Monday’s far better. A hint: the matter you fix or correct involves your own past actions and/or a romance or creative project.) Communications or short trips succeed very nicely Friday/Saturday! A big chore will complete by late July.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Someone who cares about you will “come through” now (or did last week). Recent delays end Tuesday. Career or business ideas/urges that come to you early week will help solve an ongoing problem, but new ideas might fail – wait for June’s inspiration.Your hopes and popularity soar Wednesday/ Thursday – happiness blesses you! A new friendship or love might begin, but if it starts Wednesday, it has money and status difﬁculties. Retreat, rest and contemplate Friday/Saturday. This summer will bring huge new career/status and domestic events: reading, talking now will “prepare” you.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Partnership urges ﬁnd fertile ground Sunday to Tuesday – but it’s uncertain whether a relationship formed would last, or fall prey to future indecision. If you take a consequential step Wednesday or before mid-morning Thursday, it could prevent partnership, marriage or a contractual agreement. After this, all’s good. Recent delays end Tuesday, especially in legal, valuation, investment, sexual, commitment, health and lifestyle areas. You might make a decision you’ve been mulling over for a long time. Foreign travel, law, education, publishing, culture arise late week – love, too!

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Romance, creativity, a general “lucky touch” – these continue all week – and even better, the delays and indecision that have marked this area end now (technically, Tuesday afternoon). A new romance (creative project, etc.) might begin now, perhaps mid-week – one that starts after Thursday morning is better than one that begins earlier. Sunday morning’s happy, but use this eve through Tuesday to rest, gather your energies – and to work on security or domestic problems – Monday might bring a big solution here! Intimacy, commitment, an investment might lure you Friday/Saturday: careful!

Taurus April 20-May 20: Your energy and magnetism remain high and now, at last, you can apply them to forward-going projects. Rest and think Sunday eve through Tuesday. Think especially about property, family and security matters – you might gain an insight Monday (or as you wake Tuesday morn) into solving a problem or friction in these zones. (Solutions will “take effect” in four weeks.) Wednesday onward, contemplate no longer – act! Love, partners, cooperators respond well Wednesday morning. Use the p.m. to prune or “edit” extraneous material. Chase money Friday/Saturday – keep it short term.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Recent delays end in career and business areas, although they remain in legal, international and intellectual zones. (Sunday-Tuesday shows this.) The courage, the impulsiveness, and the anger – and the sensual magnetism – you’ve possessed since last autumn will dissipate soon (early June) so if you’re going to make war or love, better hurry! By June, you’ll morph into a mere reasonable, money-hungry mortal. Be ambitious Wednesday/ Thursday – in an odd way, ambition is your salvation now. Happiness comes Friday/Saturday – ﬂirtations, friends arrive. Hopes are prescient.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Tackle old chores Sunday eve to Tuesday. This is your opportunity to really clean up an ongoing mess in your life, especially Monday. Relationships remain your primary concern all week – delays and indecision end here now. However, if you charge into a new bond (or sign a contract, etc.) before Thursday noon, it could interfere with your work or health. Act after this. Mysteries, secrets, research, the occult, deep attractions, intimacy, heavy ﬁnances, debts and investments arise Friday/Saturday. All’s smooth here, but the long-range future could hold a disappointment: be slow to commit!

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Early this week, a talk or e-mail can solve a long-standing “war” with another – Monday especially, all day! If there is no enemy, or no competitive struggle, then there might be a long-standing attraction. Again, Monday’s communication beneﬁts this! Recent delays end Tuesday, especially in home, security, realty and similar zones. (But be patient: act after Thursday morning, not before.) Rest, recuperate, Wednesday/ Thursday. Your mood lifts mildly Friday/Saturday as you begin to notice beauty, begin to sense romance. But be a bit skeptical of romance, until late July.

Gemini May 21-June 20: You can see how the future intertwines with your past, Sunday to Tuesday. Many Geminis are virtual hermits now, after more than a decade of relationship struggles. You might as well remain one, for 2010 favours career and business advancement, and your best relationships will be with bosses, VIPs, kids and parents. You’ll get a wee shot of ﬂirty happiness June to September, then the oyster of love clams up on you again. In 2011, January to June, your popularity and optimism will soar, and light romance will please! For now, remain hopeful yet skeptical. You’ll succeed late week!

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Delays end Tuesday, especially in intellectual, educational, publishing, legal, cultural, travel and love zones. A sexual attraction (which might arise early week) is a thing of your past, not your future. The same might be said of an investment or large ﬁnancial action. Either act decisively Monday, or let it go. Those intellectual, educational (et al) things arise very successfully Wednesday/Thursday, as long as you aren’t sporting an Achilles heel – e.g., have something to hide, or are carrying around a crime like a leather bag of rocks. Be ambitious Friday/Saturday.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Romantic, speculative (gambling) and creative urges arrive Sunday eve through Tuesday – enjoy the beauty, and Monday’s sweet success! Tackle chores all week, especially Wednesday/Thursday. Soon (late next week) you’ll enter an opportunity-laden time – you’ll need to be “light” then, not weighed down by unfinished business, tasks, etc. Relationships flow smoothly enough Friday/Saturday, but it’s not a good time (actually, not good right to late July) to commit to a long-term bond, marry, form a partnership, etc. It’s a fine time to make a work-money agreement, though.

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: You can take a bold, successful money-work step – or solve an important money-work problem – early week (especially Monday). It somehow involves the last six or seven months. Delays and indecision end in communications and travel matters mid-week. A new travel, paperwork, mail or e-mail project could begin now – Thursday’s best (after 9 a.m. PDT, after noon EDT). Settle into home, family, a restful stance Friday/Saturday – all’s ﬁne, it’s a good time for gardening, etc. But don’t take on or start big things (renovations, buying a home, etc.) before late July – disappointment lurks in these. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
