Trustees throw wrench in the works
Maahs, Weins just couldn’t vote for budget BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com
T
wo Chilliwack trustees have thrown a wrench into the approval of next year’s proposed $105 million
school district budget. At Tuesday’s board of education meeting, trustees Heather Maahs and Martha Wiens voted down a third reading of the budget bylaw, forcing the final vote to be postponed until the next board meeting. Maahs said she opposes the budget because it downloads costs onto parents through busing fees and the increased childcare costs that will come out of the extended spring break next year. She also voiced concerns about
“It’s just absolute political grandstanding. All they can have us do is come back for another meeting. It serves no purpose. I’m embarrassed for them both.”
Doug McKay the reduction and shuffling of administrators in the district, a move that has raised concerns among parents in schools that are losing both their principals and vice-principals next year.
“I hope that [the board] will consider the fact that we have stakeholders that are being asked to pay for our deficit and are also being ignored,” said Maahs. “They have to pay for busing. They have
to pay for the extra week of spring break, and yet when they come to a school board meeting and voice their concerns about their administrators, it falls on deaf ears.” Together, the busing fees, extra week at spring break and cuts to principal and vice-principal positions represent an estimated $1.5 million in revenue and savings scraped together by the district to address a $4.7 million budget See SCHOOL, Page 4

rganized opposition to a proposed gravel mine in the Chilliwack River Valley continues to swell. More than a thousand people have signed petitions against the gravel mine and discussion about the plan dominated Monday night’s Fraser Valley Regional District area E official community plan (OCP) meeting. “We could definitely tell there is a leaking, oiling, bubbling of resistance,” said valley resident Susan Federspiel, who attended Monday’s meeting. “What was said was more about the positive values that people want to keep up here, See GRAVEL, Page 11

Briefly Double trouble A 55-year-old Chilliwack man is facing charges after being arrested in connection with the attempted robbery of a Subway outlet Wednesday night. Police say a man entered the Subway on Vedder Road just after 10 p.m. and demanded money. A second man waited outside in a getaway vehicle. After learning that there was no money in the cash register, the suspect fled the store. A witness provided police with a description of a vehicle and within minutes Mounties had taken two men into custody. A large butcher knife and clothing matching the robbery suspect’s description were found in the car, according to police. Both the 56-year-old driver and the man who entered the store are facing charges of attempted robbery. The 55-year-old suspect is also facing charges tied to the robbery of the Plaza Liquor Store on April 26.

Many Chilliwack residents were forced to put up with another sleepless night when the Summer Love rave hit town. The biggest rave of its kind in Western Canada, Summer Love was an all-night techno dance party complete with fireworks. Mayor Clint Hames said he fielded many angry calls about the event held on the Skway reserve.

Plaque back . . . but cut up Theft now becomes part of history
BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com
A
precious memorial plaque to a Chilliwack war hero was discovered Wednesday chopped up in seven pieces and discarded in a garbage can. The plaque honouring Lt.-Col Coulson Mitchell was stolen in late April from its home at All Sappers’ Memorial Park, near the monument Mitchell helped build. The plaque was discovered Wednesday in a garbage can across from the park, according to Jim Harris, president of the CFB Chilliwack Historical Society. The plaque had been cut up into seven pieces, effectively destroying the $5,000 tribute to Mitchell. Police contacted Harris Wednesday morning to tell him that the plaque
had been found. “Initially I was very happy,” he told the Times. But when he was told the plaque had been cut up, Harris said it was “like popping a balloon. All the joy was gone immediately.” Harris is visibly upset when he looks at the damage done to the plaque. “This was unbelievably emotional for all of us, having this stolen, having it returned in this shape is just heart-rending,” he said. “I can’t believe someone would do something like this.” But he says its recovery provides a sense of closure to the episode. And he’s happy that the thieves didn’t get a penny from the plaque. “I’m just so glad that nobody ben-
efited from this theft,” he said. “This is a piece of history we’re very, very glad to have back.” Harris initially expressed sadness that those who took the plaque were trying to survive. But the straight, direct cuts through the metal are evidence that the thieves had access to heavy-duty cutting machinery. Harris credited the Times front page story last week and other media coverage for ensuring that those who took and destroyed the brass plaque were not able to sell it to a scrap metal dealer. “Thank God there are some good, honest people out there who deal in metal and this person knew he couldn’t unload it,” he said. With the original plaque back in its hands, the historical society is now
considering what to do with the torn tribute. “What we’ll probably do now is put it on display in here somehow and tell the history, because [the theft] has now become part of the history of the cenotaph,” he said. Meanwhile, Sappers (as military combat engineers are known) from around the country have already given nearly enough money to replace the plaque. “It’s been amazing. The retired Sappers all across Canada have responded,” he said. “As of today, we had $4,575 donated towards a new one.” Harris expects to have the new plaque, which will feature a colour portrait of Mitchell, in four weeks. “It won’t be as attractive, unfortunately. It certainly won’t be brass, not as attractive to metal thieves but it’ll still honour our hero.”

shortfall initially projected for the 2010-11 school year. To trustee Doug MacKay, disagreement over that amount doesn’t warrant holding up approval of a $105 million budget that deals with the entire scope of the school district. “If I didn’t agree with $50 million of it, that would be a different story,” he said. After the meeting, MacKay expressed frustration at the two trustees digging in their heels, saying the budget has the support of the majority of the trustees. “It’s just absolute political grandstanding,” he said. “All they can have us do is come back for another meeting. It serves no purpose. I’m embarrassed for them both.” Katharin Midzain, president of the Chilliwack Teachers’ Association, said Maahs and Wiens are making a stand at the wrong time. “The board has done its diligence to work the numbers so there’s a balanced budget,” she said. “It’s crummy; there’s lots of change, but we cannot continue to do business the way we have without making cuts. The discussions of what changes to make have happened.” A special board meeting could be called to expedite a final vote, but district secretary treasurer Ray Velestuk said it will likely be postponed until the next regular meeting scheduled for May 25 at Cultus Lake community school because the district is under no time pressure to have the budget approved. He said trustees who want to make changes to the budget would have to submit proposed amendments, something he doesn’t consider likely. “The board has had two meeting where they dealt with detailed budget information,” he said. “And there have been no suggested changes.”

Man facing exposure charges C hilliwack police arrested a halfnaked man Wednesday who they believe exposed himself to the public several times. A 29-year-old Chilliwack man is facing charges of indecent exposure and breach of probation after police received several calls about a man exposing himself both near Corbould Park and in the Hamilton Street/ Lewis Avenue area between 5:15 and 7 p.m.
Police have requested that the man undergo a psychological evaluation. The suspect is known to police and has been charged with similar crimes in the past. Police say he was under several courtordered conditions to not be on school property or in a park where children under the age of 14 may be present. Police are also hoping to speak to two girls who reported the man to a home on
Norland Street but who left without giving their names. “It is important, in order to forward our investigation and to ensure that proper charges are laid, that we identify those two girls,” said RCMP spokesperson Cpl. LeaAnne Dunlop. Dunlop said police do not believe the man arrested is tied to any other such incidents in the Chilliwack area.

Poll finds opposition to waste incinerator strong BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com
A
public opinion poll has found most Fraser Valley residents agree with Mayor Sharon Gaetz and other politicians opposed to Metro Vancouver’s plan to build a garbage incinerator. The poll was conducted by Angus Reid on behalf of the Abbotsford Community Foundation to assess concerns around waste incineration. Of those who said they were aware of the plan to build incinerators, 28 per cent said they supported it (six per cent strongly and 22 per cent moderately), while 59 per cent opposed it (39 per cent strongly and 20 per cent moderately). The remaining people surveyed remained unsure. Of those surveyed, 81 per cent said they had heard, seen or read about this issue in the past several months. “This new poll confirms our conviction that Metro Vancouver does not have accu-
rate information for opinions and concerns of the vast majority of Fraser Valley Residents,” said local environmentalist John Vissers, who has been working with the Zero Waste BC network to oppose incineration. The statement and the poll results came from a press release issued by the Wilderness Committee of Canada Thursday. The poll was conducted by between May 3 and 7 among 450 randomly selected adults who are residents of the Fraser Valley Regional District and are Angus Reid Forum panelists. The margin of error—which measures sampling variability— is plus/minus 4.6 per cent, 19 times out of 20. ◗ Consultations around Metro Vancouver’s waste management plan are ongoing and feedback online will be accepted until the end of June. The next meeting is May 15 starting at noon at the Abbey Arts Centre in Abbotsford. The public meeting in Chilliwack is June 16 starting at 6 p.m. at the Best Western Rainbow Country Inn, 43971 Industrial Way.

Cheam grand opening $10,995 195 ONLY
I
t’s been open for a month already, but this Saturday the Cheam Leisure Centre celebrates with a grand opening party featuring free admission and lots of activities for kids. The new $9 million facility officially opened on April 15 with a new weight room and a sixlane, 25-metre lap pool. On May 15 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. everyone is welcome to stop by to see the facility. In addition to tours and the free admission, activities planned include swimming, games (for kids), circuit training, complimentary personal training, basketball, soccer, pickleball and floor hockey. “The new Cheam Leisure Centre has only been open for a month and it’s already become an important community asset,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz. “We’re thrilled so many
$
residents are using the facility and encourage those who haven’t been in yet to come down on Saturday and see what they’re missing.” Gaetz will be on hand with representatives of the new operator, Leisure Recreation Group and Preview Builders for a ceremony at 10:30 a.m. In addition to the pool and new weight room, the Cheam Leisure Centre project in Garrison Crossing includes a gradual-entry family leisure pool with play features and lazy river. A fitness facility upgrade is planned as a second phase, proposed for some time in the future as funding allows. A park is also being developed on the property adjacent to the centre and it is anticipated that an outdoor spray park, which will be free for children and families to use, will be completed and open by late summer 2010.
A
sition from trustees Heather Maahs and Martha Wiens on Tuesday. Down to three for Chilliwack senior secondary he Chilliwack school district has narrowed its search for a team to design and build the new 1,200-student capacity Chilliwack senior secondary scheduled for completion by the 2012 school year. Three teams have been shortlisted from 10 respondents to the district’s request for qualifications (RFQ). The finalists—Graham Design Builders a JV, Partners in Innovation Building Joint Venture and PCL Constructors Westcoast Inc.—each consist of a building contractor, architect, consulting engineers and major trades, will now prepare and submit comprehensive proposals for the design and construction of the new school. The Ministry of Education signed a $58.4 million project agreement with the district in December 2008 to replace Chilliwack secondary because building a new school was less expensive than renovating and seismically upgrading the existing school. Since then, the district and ministry have agreed to add space in the new school for a neighbourhood learning centre as well. Once the district has made their final pick, construction will start in the fall.

Won’t dip into surplus fter two years of deficit spending, the Chilliwack school district is tabling a budget that won’t dip into its accumulated surplus next year. At Tuesday’s school board meeting, Chilliwack trustees looked over the final touches to the $105 million 2010-11 preliminary budget. While the 2008-09 and 2009-10 budgets blew through almost $6 million in district reserves, the new budget is balanced despite the $4.7 million shortfall predicted in January. Along with a $1.4 million increase in provincial operating grants, next year’s budget reflects staffing cuts that will save the district $1.7 million. In total, those cuts represent 53 positions including 20 teachers, 16 educational assistants, 12 other support staff and 1.35 fulltime equivalents (FTE) of administrative time, as well as cuts at the district level. Other cost-cutting measures used to rein in the shortfall include closing schools for an extra week at spring break and repurposing Kipp Centre—moves that will save the district about $465,000. Charging students for busing next year is expected to bring in another $300,000. The budget now awaits final approval at the next board meeting after meeting oppo-

Religious conference brings many faiths together BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com
F
orget what you see on the news or read about in the (other) papers. According to Rizwan Peerzada, faith is a unifying f o rc e, e v e n a m o n g d i f f e re n t religions. Peerzada’s Ahmadiyya Muslim Community will host its first World Religions Conference on Saturday at the University of the Fraser Valley’s Chilliwack Campus. Representatives of Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism
and Islam will discuss the weighty question of whether there is life after death. (Organizers sought, but did not find, Jewish and atheist representatives to take part). Peerzada hopes that the free conference will show that different religions have much in common. “We want to bring that unity in the religion that yes, OK, we have the differences but we can co-exist together in spite of the differences,” he told the Times. Peerzada pointed to Jewish, Christian and Islamic roots ties to Abraham, as well as similarities
Our VISION is
between the deities of the different religions. And he said those who attend the conference will learn that religion teaches peace not hatred. Such conferences have been organized around the world for more than 100 years, and Peerzada himself has helped plan events in more than a dozen British Columbia cities. As Muslims, Peerzada said “we want to share that . . . Islam teaches only peace. It has been hijacked by some clergy and fanatic people.” By spreading that message,
and allowing representatives of other religions a venue to express themselves, organizers hope to build bridges between religious communities. “We must know about each o t h e r,” s a i d Pe e r z a d a . “O u r neighbours could be a Jew, could be a Hindu, could be a Muslim, could be anyone, and not knowing each others’ faiths, sometimes you can come to the conclusion of something very different, not a peaceful society.” Seventh Day Adventist pastor Michael Hope, who will represent
Christianity at the conference, agreed. “Whenever we discuss things and learn about what other people agree, it takes away prejudice and helps us understand people of other religions,” he told the Times. ◗ The World Religions Conference takes place Saturday, between 3 and 7 p.m. in the Building D theatre at the University of the Fraser Valley’s Chilliwack Campus. Ad m i s s i o n i s f re e, a l t h o u g h donations will be accepted.

Survey paints a grim picture
D
o you think your superiors are incapable? That they’re unprepared? That they don’t treat you fairly, don’t consult you on decisions and don’t deal with poor performance? If you answered yes to all these question, you may just be a 20year veteran of the RCMP’s British Columbia contingent. The Vancouver Sun got its hands on an internal survey that the force conducts every two years and the results are surprising, if for no other reason because, as citizens (and journalists), we are used to hearing the party line drilled into us over and over and over again. While public perception of the RCMP has lagged in recent years, it seems that the view of the force isn’t much better among Mounties. Some highlights (or low-lights): Forty per cent of respondents said they are often harassed by a supervisor; Fifty-seven per cent had considered quitting within the past six months; Only 44 per cent felt they were respected and trusted—a drop of 12 percentage points from 2007; Just a third of respondents felt that poor performance was addressed and that employee complaints were dealt with in a timely fashion.
TYLER OLSEN
Win,Lose orTy New Mounties were far more positive about the force than experienced cops. And just 22 per cent felt that RCMP senior leaders were capable and competent. The report states that “The RCMP workplace isn’t fulfilling several employee emotional needs such as trust, fairness and respect.” But more worrying than all these figures, was the evidence of a disconnect between the Mounties who work in communities like Chilliwack and their bosses. This, of course, isn’t unique to the RCMP. Many, if not most, large companies are susceptible to such problems. But the survey paints a dramatic picture. Every single officer with a rank of inspector-superintendent or higher agreed that: health and safety were promoted; employees were treated fairly, trusted and respected; policies provided clear direction; and learning and development were encouraged. Less than half of corporals and constables agreed with their bosses
about those factors. While two-thirds cent of highranking Mounties thought the survey would cause action to be taken; just 11 per cent of sergeants and staff sergeants agreed. And although 83 per cent of high-ranking officers thought “the directorate communicates well,” most of their subordinates disagreed. A hint from a professional communicator: the audience is always right. While publicizing these stats should pressure RCMP officials to fix some of the force’s problems, in interviews Wednesday, assistant commissioner Al MacIntyre blamed media reports for the downturn in Mountie morale. Internally, though, one can only hope that MacIntyre and company will acknowledge their own role in the problem. With any luck, we’ll see a happier, more content police force as a result. The survey should also distinguish your local constable from high-ranking brass like MacIntyre parroting the party line. It turns out that, while they may wear uniforms and carry guns, cops are just like workers in millions of offices and workplaces: they too are trying to do their best, even if they think their bosses are incapable of doing their jobs and oblivious to their employees’ problems.
hile the world looks on in horror over the ecological disaster unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico, some folks are actually breathing quiet sighs of relief. The millions of litres of British Petroleum oil spewing into the waters and drifting towards a fragile coastline, destroying untold wildlife and habitat, are taking some of the negative media heat off others who have been squirming uncomfortably in the spotlight over lesser tragedies of their making. For instance, the charges pending against Goldman Sachs, regarding questionable trading practices that helped the world—and especially the United States, into an economic recession have faded from view, as news focuses on the hundreds of thousands of litres that add to the oily disaster every day. Some folks have had the temerity to suggest that our ongoing, made-in-Canada environmental disaster, the Athabasca Tar Sands oil recovery project (which also involves BP, incidentally), isn’t nearly as serious anymore, now that there’s a far more obvious and visible disaster unfolding more quickly somewhere else. But the tar sands defenders are wrong. Even if the Gulf disaster is worse, it doesn’t diminish one iota the serious damage that is being done—all legal and sanctioned by our environmentallychallenged federal government—every day through the oil mining in northern Alberta. It reminds us of folks who claim police shouldn’t worry so much about speeding motorists as long as there are still drunk drivers on the roads. Well, they both kill people, even if one might kill a few more than the other, and both need our traffic officers’ strictest attention. And that’s how it is with environmental disasters: they’re all killing us by degrees.

Playground equipment a fine addition Editor: Re: Enforcement a Bigger Issue and Strathcona Elementary’s new playground, Times May 11. Mr. Ed MacDonald should do a bit of research before writing something about which he obviously knows nothing. For your information, Mr. MacDonald, the parents of Strathcona have been fundraising for the past three to four years for this new playground. The fact that our old one burned as our new one was waiting to be installed is irrelevant. The only money we received from the taxpayers may have come in the form of a $4,600 grant that was awarded to us from the school district long before our playground was vandalized. As far as we know, two other schools also received a similar grant. The school district generously paid for the playground to be installed, but again, this is on policy granted to any school in the district installing a playground, not just ours, and certainly not because our old one was burnt. The rest of the the cost (about $35,000 by the way) was paid for out of PAC funds, received through the hard work and generosity of our school parents. Not only that, but we did not receive any insurance money for the damage done to our old one because we were already in the process of installing a new one and therefore no real loss was incurred by the school. We, therefore, had to shell out more money to replace equipment that was going to be reused in the new playground. While we agree that better enforcement of the “no loitering law” would be an asset, any damage done to the new equipment would hopefully be covered by insurance and would have nothing at all to do with tax dollars. In all fairness, it should be noted that the old playground was almost 25 years old. It’s not as if our playgrounds are burnt regularly. Beside which, any funds, tax dollars or otherwise, spent on our children is never a waste, but an investment in our future.

Can’t believe their luck Editor: We wish to publicly thank an unknown employee of the Tim Hortons located on Industrial Way in Chilliwack. You managed to save the holiday of European travellers, restore our faith in the good of others, and make all Canadians look great. On behalf of Corinna, Stefan and Heiko, and ourselves, we wish to say, “Thank you!” Our guests arrived in Penticton at our bed and breakfast with plans to tour a few wineries in the South Okanagan before heading on to Revelstoke and Banff. They were in the second week of a three-week tour of Western Canada. Shortly after their arrival, they discovered the bag containing all of their travel documents, identification, credit cards and money was missing. Shock, dismay, and fear definitely dampened their holiday spirit. In fact, it appeared the loss of the bag signalled an early end to their holiday. With help from my husband, they reviewed their itinerary, and located the Tim Hortons they had stopped at for breakfast that morning . . . the Tim Hortons located on Industrial Way in Chilliwack.
A telephone call was placed to the restaurant. Amazingly, the bag had been turned in to the manager by an unknown employee. Our guests were shocked, but oh-sorelieved to hear that this all-important item was in the safekeeping of the manager. They kept saying, “In Germany, you would never get it back . . . it would be gone.” While the return trip to Chilliwack and back to Penticton was long and tiring, our guests were so relieved, so grateful, and so impressed with the honesty of Canadians. Their holiday had been saved by an unknown Tim Hortons’ employee. To this individual, and to all the staff of Tim Hortons, we wish to again express our sincere admiration and gratitude. Thank you again. Fred and Elsie Fehlauer (on behalf of Corinna, Stefan and Heiko Rosenowski) Keri Glen Lakeview Bed and Breakfast Penticton
Mine is not a sound proposal Editor: When will our politicians listen to what the people want and not to short-term profits? The proposed gravel mine on the Chilliwack River must be stopped. If the politicians will not stop this, let’s use our votes and get them out. Write to the premier and Randy Hawes (MLA Abbotsford-Mission). As a long-time resident of the Chilliwack River Valley, I was astonished to learn of the proposal to mine gravel in the vicinity of the
Larson’s Bench. This is not a sound proposal. An environmental study must be done to ensure the facts are known. The Chilliwack River Valley is a recreation corridor next to none with it’s close proximity to Vancouver. The burden of the truck traffic alone should put an end to this foolishness. The list of things that will be compromised if this project goes beyond the scope of this e-mail. Do it now before it’s too late. Keith Thomson Chilliwack
A few folks left to give thanks Editor: It seems that some of the members of the Chilliwack Lions Club and the B.C. Wooden Toy Makers Society were left out of recent stories and advertisments in the Chilliwack Times, I take full responsibility for missing them. All of our volunteer elves are important and helped us make more than 650 toys for kids last year plus the fish we cut for Watson elementary. I sincerely want to thank Adrian Bortolin, Al Rempel, Cecile Beaudoin, Bill Lyle and our newest member Don, who cut about 100 fish. A special thank you to Barry and the managment of Pioneer Buildall for making their annual donation of supplies without me having to ask—that sure makes part of my job easier. Robert Prinse Chilliwack
Need to teach them morality Editor: We find the cartoon, (Chilliwack Times, April 30), in which Harper is reproved for refusing “to fund access to safe abortion procedures,” vile and repulsive. We see the picture of the women surrounded by hungry children with bloated tummies. Where are the men who have fathered these children? Many
men in foreign countries live immoral lives and/or abandon their families in desperation when they cannot care for their families. Hundreds of mothers and fathers are dying of AIDS, leaving children to be cared for by their grandmothers to be raised in squalor conditions. It moves us to tears to see pictures of starving children but we need to offer families more help than deadly remedies for the preborn babies. We cannot stand by and watch and criticize without offering help. We are grateful for the many reputable organizations that provide help for the poor by teaching them how to grow their own gardens and by digging wells so they can have safe drinking water. They also help by teaching them family values and morality, and by helping the poor build shelters for their families. These are ways in which we can get involved and/or by contributing to these organizations. We cannot do everything for everyone in need, but we can help some and to them it will make a difference. George & Nettie Neudorf Chilliwack
Thanks to those who had dinner Editor: We, as a committee, wish to thank everyone who attended the Seniors Bursary Dinner at the Chilliwack secondary school on Wednesday, May 5. We had a sold out crowd that numbered 175. It should be noted that this is the first time we have sold out for a Bursary Dinner. Teaching chef Terry McDougall, chef Sharon and their co-workers along with the Culinary Arts Students are to be commended for preparing and serving a delicious meal with all the trimmings. We seniors feel very fortunate to be able to attend these banquets twice a year in May and December. Proceeds are allocated to bursaries. Thanks again for a great evening. Alice Anderson & committee

Worrying is part of being human
BY SHAWN VANDOP Promontory Community Church
I
was taking stock the other day of all the things I have worried about over my life. I’ve worried about my grades, how I look, what other people think. I’ve worried about getting caught, being confronted, being ignored and being beat up. I worry about Phil Smith. Phil was a bully at the school I went to. Phil is not his real name. I changed it because I’m worried he might read this and then look me up. I’ve worried about my family, my kids, my finances, my job. I’ve worried
about past choices, recent decisions and what tomorrow is going to bring. Worry has been a big part of my life . . . which kind of worries me. The fact is, all of us worry. Some more than others, but nevertheless all of us do. It’s part of being human. That’s why it’s kind of crazy when Jesus comes along one day and tells a large crowd of people “not to worry.” It’s shocking because the crowd he was addressing was full of people just like you and me. They were people with financial problems, marital issues, rebellious kids, unreasonable bosses and health issues. Yet Jesus, who
knew all this, looks them in the eyes and says, “Don’t worry . . . about anything” (see Matthew 6:25-34). As tough as that may have been to hear and as irrelevant as it may have sounded, Jesus wanted those listening to understand something. He wanted them to know that God is a “one day at a time” kind of God. He is all about meeting us in the moment which is hard to do because most people live trying to control their future. That is why he said, “. . . don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today” (Matthew 6:34). Jesus knows that when
we put all our energy and emotion into a future we cannot control we’ll never find rest. We end up marrying today’s issues with tomorrow’s worries. In the end our devotion is invested in things we can’t do anything about. It is a frustrating way to live. We worry about things we literally have no control over. We allow the future to control us and in the end the threat of tomorrow ends up stealing the joy of today. Jesus knew the implications that worry has for our lives and so he challenges our perspectives and then helps us to change them. By telling us not to worry he is also telling
us to trust him. God says, “If you stop worrying about what you can’t control and put your trust in me, the one who is in control, then you can live a worry free life.” If that’s true, and I believe it is, then the only thing you and I have to lose is a life filled with stress. So, if you are a worrier, why not take a moment and talk to God about it. Better yet, why not submit your life and all your worries to him so that your tomorrows are not filled with anxiety and stress but with joy and confidence. ◗ Shawn is pastor at Promontory Community Church.

Protest signs line the road up the Chilliwack River Valley. GRAVEL, from page 1 recreational and social and environmental values, that’s what they want to focus on and not industrial values.” The application was made to the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources (MEMPR) on Nov. 27 by Brent Tolmie and his company Southview Sorting Ltd. The mine development plan states it would last 40 years and 30 million tonnes, although the plan is only to take out 176,000 tonnes per year. The mine is to be located at Larson’s Bench, about 23 kilometres up Chilliwack Lake Road. Tolmie spoke with the Times on Thursday and said he feels a lot of the opposition to his proposal is misguided. He also takes issue with the suggestion that recreation should be the dominate feature of the river valley and he doesn’t see why recreation and industry can’t co-exist peacefully. “It’s got a history of forestry and mining that’s significantly older than any of the recreation activities that people claim to be so valuable,” he said. There have also been concerns about impacts on the Chilliwack River, but Tolmie said the site is several hundred feet above and several hundred metres away from the river. “There is no surface hydrology on the site,” he said. Area E director Dave Lamson has expressed concern over habitat and the number of trucks running up and down the road each day. In response to that concern, Tolmie estimated there are as many as 20 gravel pits already on Chilliwack Lake Road. “This is not out of the blue or completely unique,” he said.
Paul J. Henderson/TIMES
Public outcry
Tolmie said he has followed the process to the letter of the law and engaged all the ministries and stakeholder organizations along the way. He disagrees with anyone who might suggest he has circumvented the process. “I’m going to do what the permitting process requires me to do and not try to invent other steps,” he said. Tolmie said anywhere from five to 10 wellpaying jobs will be created in addition to the creation of a local source of aggregate for the Chilliwack construction industry that currently has to find aggregate from as far away as Washington State. “The whole intent is gainful lasting employment,” he said. “To provide good long-term jobs and a good, long-term responsible, ecologically sound extraction site in the valley that can serve for years and years to come.” A local environmental organization called eco-Logic BC has formed and set up stopthegravelpit.com. Now the Friends of the Chilliwack River Valley has joined up and scheduled a meeting at the fire hall in the valley on Friday at 7 p.m. Glen Thompson of the Friends of the Chilliwack River Valley said 800 people have signed the written petition and as of Thursday morning 295 people had signed the online petition. Members of the group had planned to deliver the petition to Environment Minister Barry Penner’s office on Friday. “I hope that people will listen to the public outcry over this gravel pit in this recreation area,” Federspiel said.

Media coverage has highlighted the Minister’s description of them as “the toughest drinking-andCedric Hughes driving rules in Canada” imposing “clear, swift and severe” penalties. Some commentators have noted, however, that practically speaking, they are also likely to “decrease the number of impaired driving charges and effectively decriminalize drunk driving.” Les Leyne writing in the Times Colonist on April 28 went so far as to call them, “an end run around the laggard, overloaded criminal justice system.” However this may be, the practical end result is clear. People who drink and drive against these new rules will find themselves in a whole heap of trouble and without the protections traditionally provided by our legal system—the presumption of innocence, for example, which the Minister tacitly acknowledged in voicing his expectation of a legal challenge. The most noteworthy aspect is the effect of providing a breath sample at the roadside into a roadside screening device that measures between .05 and .08 blood alcohol content. Measuring in this new “warn” range will result in the following: …For the first time within a five-year period: • losing the driver’s licence immediately for 3 days. • possibly also losing the vehicle for 3 days and all related towing and storage fees. • a $200 administrative driving penalty. • a $250 driver’s licence reinstatement fee.
THE ROAD RULES
…For the second time within a five-year period: • losing the driver’s licence immediately for 7 days. • possibly also losing the vehicle for 7 days and all related towing and storage fees. • a $300 administrative driving penalty. • a $250 driver’s licence reinstatement fee.
…And for the third time within a five-year period: • losing the driver’s licence immediately for 30 days. • losing the vehicle immediately for 30 days and all related towing and storage fees. • a $400 administrative driving penalty. • a $250 driver’s licence reinstatement fee. •completing the Responsible Drivers Program and using an Ignition Interlock Device for 1 year following driving suspension.
Barrister & Solicitor
Penalties for blowing over .08—the “fail” range—are more severe: • losing the driver’s licence immediately for 90 days. • losing the vehicle immediately for 30 days and all related towing and storage fees. • a $500 administrative driving penalty. • a $250 driver’s licence reinstatement fee. • completing the Responsible Drivers Program and using an Ignition Interlock Device for 1 year following driving suspension. • possible charges under the Criminal Code of Canada. Unlike Criminal Code charges for impaired driving, these administrative penalties do not generate a court file and therefore are not disclosed to the public. Andrew Murie, CEO of Mothers Against Drunk Driving Canada said less public scrutiny is a worthy trade-off if it helps reduce impaired-driving injuries and deaths. Cedric Hughes L.L.B.

(NC)—According to design experts, most Yuppie trendsetters these days are not remodeling their bathrooms on the basis of resale value. The new attitude seems to be “why relocate when you can renovate.” This trend, as a result, has sparked a new movement towards personalized luxurious and sensuous bathroom spaces. In these uncertain economic times, families are choosing to travel less and spend more time at home, according to Nancy Soccio, designer of Dolce Design in Montreal. “The trend is towards recreating that spa-like experience they had when they traveled abroad in the form of a chic, zen-like ambiance for their new bathroom home spa.” In response to this new reality, home renovators are now gravitating towards luxurious surround enclosure multibody-spray and steam shower units and therapeutic air jet baths. Soccio said consumers are choosing stone floor tiles and other natural, luxurious design materials to personify this trend. “Opulence in the bathroom is the new fashion, as polished nickel chrome, cut crystal and a return to sophisticated new generation marble is creating a visual awakening that’s fueling the movement.” How can marble return when this timeless, luxurious surface didn’t really go anywhere? Designers mention that regular “first generation” marble tile was receiving less attention in new decors than in the past due to its limitations as an inherently heavy, fragile option and the perception that is was passé among trendsetting homeowners. Toronto-based designer Andrew Pike of Andrew Pike Interiors explained that “some clients shied away from using marble in the past due to the fear of breakage and waste during installation or having to replace pieces that become weak or crack over time.” However, a new generation marble tile has been developed, called Accolade Premium RF, and it is receiving praise from designers, architects and tile setters as the ultimate durable solution to marble tile. Using the same innovative concepts that have brought engineered hard-

UNRESERVED PUBLIC AUCTION
Q: Would boiling water be a success if I poured it directly on the chafer beetle colony at some stage in their life cycle? It works with ant hills. Wendy Feilden Vancouver A: If you poured it on the lawn around the end of July when the larvae are small and just under the surface yes, it would kill them. The larvae move deeper down a bit later. But the larvae will be living all over your lawn. That could take a lot of boiling water. Meanwhile, if you water with the nematodes at the end of July, these will seek out the larvae and destroy them. Also some of these nematodes are believed to remain in the soil and these would be ready to feed on chafer larvae if they reinfect your lawn next year. Re-infection is very likely since the mature chafer is a flying beetle. Current thinking is that remaining nematode colonies will be smaller than the original colony. Used on a lawn, boiling water may kill grass too because grass is shallowrooted. Usually a thick, well-established lawn bounces back, but young or seedling grass won’t. Also water doesn’t stay boiling if you take it any distance. It’s also not effective in rainy weather or moist soil. Frankly I don’t recommend using boiling water, even though I use it myself in certain places. It really is quite dangerous. It’s especially hazardous if you have kids underfoot, or a rambunctious dog, if you have balance problems or if you have to carry it down long flights of steps or past obstacles. Q: I’m in love with hellebores! I have various varieties in fairly large pots on my deck. I realize they’re mostly shade-loving, but unfortunately we get hot afternoon sun (when it isn’t raining). Could you please steer me onto a variety that’s fairly sun-tolerant. I also need to know how to deadhead. Joanne Noringseth e-mail A: Many hellebores are
ANNE MARRISON
Green Thumb tougher in sun than is commonly thought. But the key to helping them adapt is moisture. This is doubly hard in containers because the elevation drains the soil and sun heats up the sides of the pot and the roots. You might add manure or Sea Soil as a soil amendment or as mulch. Also water very frequently. Hellebore argutifolius (formerly Corsicus) originates from Corsica and has a reputation for tolerating full sun. This hellebore has very large pale green flowers and grey-green leaves. Plants with grayish leaves are usually more sun-tolerant. H. foetidus has been tolerating hot afternoon sun for years in my front border.
The key here is probably that the soil is moistureretentive clay. I seldom water there in summer. Apparently this hellebore does well in California. H. orientalis is worth trying in sun because it is so drought-tolerant. It’s hard to tell about the hybrids since the genetics may be quite mixed. Deadheading varies. With H. niger, H. foetidus and H. Corsicus, the flowering stem is cut to the ground. With the overflowing leaves of H. orientalis you can often just cut out the seedhead. Just trust your eye, Joanne. Unless you want seeds, it’s best to deadhead before the seedheads turn yellow. Once this happens hellebores dump seed very fast. If you remove old leaves before new buds emerge you can avoid transferring fungal infections. ◗ Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions. Send them to her via amarrison@shaw.ca.

Gaylene Buff and Senator take a tight turn at the Canadian Barrel Racing event held at Heritage Park on Saturday.
Peewee AA Cougars fall short Chilliwack’s Peewee AA Cougars played in the Burnaby Peewee AA Midway tournament last weekend, finishing with one win and two losses. The Cougars faced Ridge Meadows Black Saturday morning and started by taking an early lead on singles by Anthony Pharand and Colin Kellington in the first inning. Chilliwack added two more in the second to take a 4-2 lead when Jordan Scherbey drove in Parker Logan and Tyler Charlton. The game turned into a defensive struggle as hurlers Josh Anderson and Colin Kellington pitched two shutout innings each. Ridge took a 5-4 lead in the seventh inning before Parker Logan hit a two-out single to drive in Devyn Heggs and tie the game. In the bottom of the eighth the Cougars loaded the bases and, with two out, Anderson hit a line drive to right field to score Scherbey for the win. The MVP for the game went to Anderson Game two of the tourney pitted the Cougars against a very tough Vancouver squad. Chilliwack’s pitchers worked hard but the Vancouver hitters got the best of them, scoring 13 runs over five innings. Chilliwack’s lone run came when Heggs singled driving in Kellington. MVP for the game went to Daniel Rogers The Cougars dropped their third game 10-0 to a strong Cloverdale team. The Cougar bats were silent as the pitching staff worked hard to hold the Cloverdale hitters off the bases.
Jock scraps Squirt Slammers place second The Sardis Slammers Squirt C girls fastpitch team demolished the competition en route to a second-place finish at a weekend tournatment in Fleetwood. The Slammers mercy-ruled each of the four teams they played in the round robin, along with their semi-final opponent. But facing their first roundrobin opponent in the final, Sardis ran out of steam, losing 7-5. Sam Alsip contributed stellar pitching while Dallas Hawkes, Syd Lavallee and Jaimee Fournier contributed both defensively and, along with Alsip, at the plate. Vipers mercy everyone The Chilliwack Vipers Peewee A fastpitch team blew away the competition last weekend at the Whalley Open Invitational Tournament. The team won all six of its games, outscoring their opponents 61-10 and ending four games with a mercy rule. Brendan Donegan, Ryan Kaplanis, Thomas Bunn and Austin Unger led the way for the Vipers. Donegan and Kaplanis supplied solid pitching throughout the tournament. Jordan Donegan, Parker Hendsbee and Fillip Horak will also join Brendan Donegan, Kaplanis and Bunn on the zone’s B.C.

Love pesto? Why not try making it with parsley?
W
CHEF DEZ
On Cooking flat leaf Italian parsley is just as common. The main visual difference between the two is just what the names predict, however flat leaf Italian parsley has more flavour than its curly common counterpart. When parsley is being used for purposes other than garnish, it is usually added as a minor ingredient to characterize a dish with
a distinct touch of natural herb flavour and a bit of colour. However, there are some recipes that use parsley as a main ingredient, such as pesto. Traditionally pesto is prepared by pureeing fresh basil leaves mainly with olive oil, pine nuts, garlic, parmesan cheese, and lemon juice to form an outstanding pasta sauce, however the basil leaves can be substituted with parsley. This makes the pesto recipe not only more affordable, but also easier to create from scratch all year round, as fresh parsley is more accessible in the markets than fresh basil.
I hope you enjoy this recipe. It is one of our favourites and we make it all the time.
Parsley Pesto Two-thirds cup roasted, salted cashews One-half cup extra virgin olive oil One-half cup grated Parmesan cheese Two large garlic cloves, peeled Juice of one half lemon One-half tsp salt One-half tsp fresh cracked pepper One bunch fresh curly leaf parsley, large stems removed 1. In a food processor, grind the cashews on high speed for approximately 15 seconds.
2. Continue to process on high speed while slowly adding one-quarter cup of the olive oil through the top opening, and then process for another 30 seconds until mixture is almost completely smooth and liquid. 3. Turn off the processor. Add the cheese, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Turn the processor back on and process on high speed while feeding the parsley through the top opening. When all of the parsley has been added, continue to process on high speed while slowly adding the remaining one quarter cup of olive oil. 4. Turn off the processor,
scrape down the sides, and process for another 10 to 15 seconds. 5. Toss with hot freshly cooked pasta of your choice, or use in a variety of applications such as a pizza or bruscetta topping, or mix it with mayo for a great sandwich spread, or with sour cream for a great veggie dip. Makes approximately 1.5 cups. Send your food/cooking questions to dez@chefdez.com or P.O. Box 2674, Abbotsford, B.C. V2T 6R4. ◗ Next “Chef Dez on Cooking” column will appear May 28.

e pass by it all the time in the produce section, but when not being used as a garnish or a minor ingredient, what else can we do with parsley? Parsley is botanically called petroselinum crispum. This is derived from the Greek word petros, meaning stone, as it was often found growing in and around groups of rocks. Today this herb, naturally high in vitamin A and C, is usually available in just two different varieties. Curly leaf parsley is the most common one we see today at the local grocery store, however in some markets,

Shrek Forever After is the first 3-D offering at Cottonwood Cinemas May 21.
3D Cottonwood brings new technology to local screen
BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com
C
hilliwack movie-goers have a chance to be immersed in film like never before as 3-D comes to town. The Cottonwood 4 Cinemas has installed a new screen and a new lens to allow the local theatre to screen Shrek Forever After in 3D in May 21.
“This is a pretty big deal,” said Cottonwood 4 owner Cathy Rayner. “It’s pretty exciting.” The recent resurgence of 3-D movies, particularly with last year’s release of Avatar, meant the cinema was losing business as local fans drove out of town to get their fix. The digital camera used for the new 3-D movies costs more than $100,000, according to Rayner, which was too prohibitive for the
relatively small operation. However, with a special silver screen and a digital lens, Rayner was able to bring the 3-D technology to the theatre. “It is really good,” she said of the less expensive technology. “I don’t think the average person will tell the difference.” Rayner said that more and more the public is demanding 3-D so she needed it to compete. A disap-
pearing fad in the 1950s and again in the 1980s, some say 3-D is now here to stay. “More movie theatres are getting 3-D and so more movies are being made in 3-D,” she said. “I don’t think it’s going to be going away.” With the new movie theatre under construction at Eagle Landing, Raynor needed an edge. She said even though the eight-screen complex will be competition for
Cottonwood 4, because there are so many 3-D movies being made, she can likely still fill a niche by playing different ones. Tickets for 3-D movies will be $3 more, which covers the cost of the glasses. After Shrek, next up for the new 3-D screen will be The Last Airbender and Cats and Dogs. ‘I think it’s going to be fantastic,” Raynor said.

The band hosts a night of Celtic music next week at Corky’s Irish Pub but they are also using the gig as a way to gather interest in a new folk club. “The folk club will offer a true insight into Irish culture and music,” said Damian Brennan of Murphy’s Lagh. “We feel that Ireland has been misrepresented and in particular we’d like the younger generation to appreciate this and hopefully discover a little bit about the heritage and the Canada connection.” Next Friday’s show will

feature Brennan on guitar and his partner Shamma Sabir on fiddle for an eve-
ning of music ranging from traditional Irish tunes to Van Morrison. But Brennan also wants to get the word out about his planned folk club, which will offer a live music series, lessons and workshops of fiddle, Bodhran drum and the Irish whistle. Brennan teaches Irish music in Chilliwack and he said there are many people interested in the traditional instruments from Ireland.

This indoor/outdoor maintenance guide can help to ensure your home stays in good repair from year to year. INDOOR • Inspect all electrical cords to appliances and lamps. If you see signs of wear, or if the cords are warm or hot, replace them.
• Clean windows and clean and repair screens. • Check caulking and weather stripping around windows and doors. • Check the foundation walls for cracks and leaks.
INSURANCE OUTLOOK HOME INSURANCE WITH BROOKE HANSON
• Check your hot water tank for leaks and to see if your pressure relief valve is working properly. Be cautious and consult your owner’s manual as this test may release very hot water! • Check security alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, and smoke alarms. Remove cobwebs and replace batteries as needed. • Vacuum the grille cover on bathroom fans. • If you have air conditioning, check that your system is working properly. • Turn off fireplace and gas furnace pilot lights when heating is no longer required. OUTDOOR • Inspect deck surfaces and walkways for slippery moss and mildew.
• Clear any obstructions from outside drains. • From the ground, do a visual inspection of your roof. If you see any debris or damaged or missing shingles, consult a qualified tradesperson to remove and repair. • Trim or remove nearby trees that may be a danger to your home.
• Clean debris from eavestroughs and downspouts. • Once there is no more danger of freezing, open up the inside water tap valve to the outside hose bib (make sure your outside tap is turned off). As part of your spring maintenance, review your home insurance policy to ensure that your coverage for home and personal belongings still meets your needs. Talk to your insurance agent about any changes you need to make. Brooke Hanson is an Insurance Product Manager at BCAA. She can be reached at brooke.hanson@bcaa.com.

Students ‘Honk’ for the arts F.
G. Leary fine arts elementary students have produced Honk Jr. as their annual spring musical, taking a twist on the tale of the Ugly Duckling The Ugly Duckling is a classic fairy tale written by Hans Christian Andersen and first published in 1843. The story tells of a homely little bird born in a barnyard who suffers harsh criticism based on his looks for his neighbours until, much to his delight and to the surprise of others, he matures into a graceful swan, the most beautiful bird of all. The heartwarming story has been embraced by generations as a tale of personal transformation for the better. The play is a fitting one for F.G. Leary as the staff and families at this elementary school are constantly seeing their students transform through the arts, gain confidence in who they are and find unique ways to express themselves. F.G. Leary has prided itself on a tradition of producing amazing productions each year that showcase the talents of their students and staff. This year’s production of Honk Jr. is no exception. Although many schools might produce a musical or a play during the school year, at F.G. Leary students are exposed to aspects about the inner workings of the play. They are given leadership opportunities that allow students to not only find their calling on stage, but to find out what they can offer behind the scenes also. Small groups of students help to paint the backdrops and settings under the guidance of a volunteer parent, Sharon Dueck. There are also students who are learning about stage management and who

There is even choreographed leadership being given by an intermediate student who takes extracurricular dance. The intermediate students are given the challenge of working on plays usually given to the high school level. Honk Jr. is filled with over-the-top characters that will warm your heart and make you laugh out loud. The story features Ugly, played by Grade 5 student Tianna Pollard, his tearful mother Ida, Grade 6 student Ella Stuart, a drake who “ducks” his fatherly responsibilities played by Grade 6 student Brock Menges, a gaggle of comical geese, a sly French cat
who wants to befriend Ugly so she can eat him, played by Grade 5 student Kara Vinchoff, a wisecracking bullfrog played by Paige Mussell, and other barnyard creatures, together with a great many “fowl” puns. ◗ This year’s production is being directed by the principal of the school, Patti Lawn, and assisted directed by Randy Newbury of the Chilliwack Players’ Guild. Performances will run each evening at 7 p.m. from May 18 to 20. Tickets are $7.50 for adults, $5 for children and $20 for family packs.

The family would like to thank all of Dads family and friends for their support through his journey, also a special thank-you to the staff and volunteers at Cascade Hospice for the wonderful care and friendship. Jim was born and raised in Chilliwack BC, he grew up on a farm on Chilliwack Central Road. He met Gloria when he was 17 years old, the love of his life and they were married shortly after. They raised two boys together and enjoyed their “hockey days” meeting lots of people that would become life long friends. Jim loved the game of hockey and he loved to watch his boys play hockey, he went to practically every game they had, he was their biggest fan. Then as time went on he would go to his grandsons’ hockey games and cheer them on. Jim enjoyed hunting birds in his early days and he absolutely loved fishing and camping. Many trips to Loon Lake over the years with family, his brothers and sisters and his Mom and Dad. Jim worked in the furniture industry first with Sears and Peacocks Furniture and then later he started his own furniture business where he worked for many years. But his true love was cars......he always loved his cars. It was a great pass time for Jim, he would tinker with them evenings and weekends and you could see that he loved it. His face would light up just talking about them. He took great pride in his home, he always made it look tip top and he always made you feel welcome in his home, he was a great host. Jim was great friends with his brothersin-law Carl, Ron, Joe and Erv who all had lots of fun together (the stories they could tell) as young men growing up and raising their families, going camping and fishing. Jim always gave of himself to his family. Jim was a member of the Vintage Car Club and the British Car Club where he met a lot of friends and which he enjoyed immensely. Jim was a wonderful man who will be sadly and greatly missed by all who knew him but most of all by his family. We loved you and respected you and we are left behind with broken hearts, we love you Dad. A Funeral Memorial will be held at Henderson’s Funeral Home on May 18th, 2010 at 2:00 pm. A tea to follow at Henderson’s Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers donations to Cascade Hospice Society c/o Henderson’s Funeral Home.

Obituaries
DAWS, Velma
December 6, 1926 ~ May 9, 2010 Velma passed away peacefully, following a lengthy illness on May 9th, 2010 at Chilliwack General Hospital at the age of 83 years. Velma was born on December 6th 1926 on the family farm at Brookdale, MB. An excellent student, she followed her wish to become a teacher. Upon graduation from High School she taught at one-room schools as a “permit teacher” in rural Manitoba. As an MNS graduate (1949) Velma taught primary grades in Tilston and Dauphin. Velma interrupted her teaching career to earn an RN degree (1956-59) from Grace Hospital in Winnipeg. Equipped with dual certification, she accepted a teaching position in the town of Inuvik, NWT (1959-71) where she fulfilled her ambition to teach Eskimo children. While working there, she met her husband Reg and was married. Being the wife of an RCAF airman, she was then obliged to follow him on his several postings across Canada. While at Yorkton, SK she refreshed her RN degree and began a twenty-year nursing career including service in DVA hospitals at Halifax and Winnipeg, followed by six years at CGH’s extended care unit. Velma was a talented handicraft hobbyist. Traditional Rug Hooking became her passion, in which she excelled as both an artist and a certified teacher. Velma’s other hobbies included gardening, walking groups, world travel, and watching Curling Briers. She was a woman whose energy, compassion, dedication and enthusiasm knew no boundaries. An industrious achiever from early childhood, Velma upheld high ethical values and forever remained true to her cause. She was a proud Canadian, whose loss is of great magnitude to her circle of family, friends and associates. She will always be remembered and forever loved by those many persons whose lives she touched. Velma leaves to mourn her husband, Reg; her son, Duncan Bruce (Norma) and her grandsons, Ian and Reid. She leaves behind her two sisters-in-law, Phyllis Harburn and Jean Harburn; and brother-in-law, Ray Daws; several nieces and nephews; many wonderful friends and cherished colleagues from the teaching and nursing professions. Velma was predeceased by her parents, John and Annie Harburn; sisters, Jenny (Leonard), Viola (Fred), Evelyn (Leonard), Myrtle (Ben) and Joan and her brothers, Albert (Dorothy), Chester and Foster. A Service of Remembrance will be held at the Woodlawn Mt. Cheam Funeral Home Chilliwack on Friday, May 21st, 2010 at 1:30 p.m. Major Angus Haggarty officiating. Interment will follow at the Carberry Plains Cemetery at a date to be announced. Memorial Donations may be made in Velma’s name to the Vancouver Children’s Hospital Building Fund. Sincere appreciation for Velma’s care is extended to Dr. Ken Hirst; Net Care staff at Parkholm; Ward 3N staff at CGH and Douglas Wang and Karin Kunert at the Bradley Centre Respiratory Rehab Clinic. Your attention and concern assisted Velma through her difficult times. Woodlawn’s 604-793-4555
Love’s greatest gift is remembrance.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Aries March 21 - April 19: Settle into a few days of rest Sunday to noon Tuesday. Soon, you’re going to be very busy. Woo no one Sunday/Monday – love affairs started then would be short and disappointing, or long and disappointing. Romance is the main theme Tuesday eve to Thursday – and it’s complex! Illusion runs everywhere, almost like an elf; but clear, sober sight alternates. Stick with the latter. The same applies to creative and speculative ventures. Thursday night begins four weeks of travel, paperwork, details, calls, casual contacts and siblings. It starts with a major decision about work, duties.
Cancer June 21-July 22: This is a week of choices, of opposite extremes, and an attempt to reconcile or bring together competing people or ideas. The “poles” involve communications, relationships, ethics, ideas and philosophical (or religious) convictions, law, education or travel. E.g., do you travel to the next town, or to Africa? Attend college or night school? Remain “just friends” or get married? Both choices are valid. But: don’t fall in love before Tuesday dawn, and don’t fall for sexual illusion mid-week. The “casual” breeds partnership; the long, elevated, legal, international point to work luck.
Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Mysteries & dark attractions give way to understanding and the light of love Thursday night onward. Don’t chase love Sunday to Wednesday: a long-term disappointment lurks. If you break up Wednesday, consider yourself lucky. Despite these dire words, mid-week finds you actually happy, flirtatious, optimistic and social! (Just forget infatuation.) Sink into rest, solitude and contemplation Thursday night to Saturday: a month of mental expansion, travel, new love and intellectual joy is just beginning. You attract attention, glances Saturday night. But hesitate about love, two more days.
Taurus April 20-May 20: Travel, paperwork, details and casual communications are slated Sunday to Tuesday. Speak carefully – beware of promising something that you have doubts about. Your money interests meet two barriers: one relates to romance, kids, home and family; the other to outside interests, friends, social factors. As the week ages, you might discern that the real problem is not money, but home versus the outside world, kids versus friends, romance versus flirtations, career. Success is yours if you combine them. Rest mid-week. Romance, pleasure bless you Friday/Saturday. A money phase begins!
Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Keep working hard through Thursday –you could take one last big step in ambitious regions Tuesday to Thursday. (Before Tuesday, work quietly, with naps.) You’ve been somewhat suspicious of others, particularly of potential (or actual) partners for over a decade. This trend will fade away after 2011, but for now – this week – be neither suspicious nor gullible, especially Wednesday. All week, financial decisions and choices face you. Choose a long-term outlook, investing, net worth, over “quick money” or mere spending. A month of flirtations, popularity and fun begins Friday!
Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: What had been opportunity turns, late week, into a month of commitment. You’ll either grab an opportunity in a way that binds you, or walk away to seek change. Either works, so follow your instincts. This entire week (and May 23) is filled with choices between competing roads, people, forces. Until Wednesday eve, much of this involves sex, finances, health or commitment. Thursday onward, the choices are “lighter” – friends or a lover, a present indulgence or plan for the future? A casual relationship or a profound one? Lover, indulgence, profundity are lucky – to a degree.
Gemini May 21-June 20: Through Thursday, you remain sequestered, tired, contemplative, quiet. But a month of such is ending. Thursday eve into the weekend you can courageously end a situation, relationship or task/burden. This will be followed by a true surge of energy, optimism and effectiveness. This upsurge might not arrive until May 23, because you struggle all this week, right into Saturday night, with a tug-o-war between home-domestic-property-securitykid-related urges and demands, and those calling you away from home, to career, prestige and ambition projects. Maybe this relates to ending something!
Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Mellow times draw to a close. Still, you’ll like this week. Sunday to noon Tuesday brings popularity, entertainment, flirtations, optimism about your future (and it’s justified!). Retreat, rest, contemplate and plan mid-week. Scan the horizon to study barriers and how to overcome them. Your energy and charisma rise Thursday night, just as a month of career, ambition, prestige relations and status situations enters. (VIPs favour you to Wednesday.) This week holds both opportunities and challenges in relationships, negotiations and dealings with strangers. You meet someone cheerful.
Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: At last, a month of hard work, boredom and health concerns ends (well, by Thursday night) – the fresh breeze of opportunity enters! Expect relationship excitement, new vistas & people, contracts & agreements, the possibility of relocation. But this week confronts you with a series of serious choices. Though others have treated you affectionately for the last few weeks, now you have to choose (Sunday/Monday) between affection (relationships generally) and ambition. Then, Tuesday/Wednesday, between affection and security or family. Then, late week, between ambition and home. Ah, well.

May 16 - 22 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: A romantic, creative, pleasurable, sports-filled or beauty-oriented phase yields to a month of hard work and health concerns by Thursday night. But a streak of those good things will last into mid-June. (Best if romance, as the planet causing it is Venus.) Relationships, opportunities and fresh vistas confront you Sunday to Tuesday, but results are mixed. Romance with someone you met (or meet) in a group can succeed, so do casual Starbuckstype friendships and intellectual or legal affairs. But forget co-worker romance, and money’s deceptive. Mysteries mid-week. Gentle love late week! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: You’re still “confined” to home, domestic and security concerns until Thursday night. Then a month of pleasure, romance, creativity and “winning” arrives! But somehow it comes about through a deep change you make, or it accompanies this change. The smaller the change, perhaps the less of a bang this lucky month ahead will make. (I could be wrong.) The whole week presents a series of challenges or choices. Romance won’t partner with sex, creativity won’t co-operate with money, Sunday to Wednesday. DO NOT begin a love these few days. Late week, money choices. But happiness looms! Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Though the weeks ahead bring a slow-down, that’s actually good news, because it ends a rather wasteful spinning of your wheels. A travel, paperwork and errand-filled trend ends Thursday night, and a quiet, deep, meaningful few weeks begin. This week presents many choices. You might face the prospect of ending or deepening a relationship early week: the outcomes are, oddly, so similar that I have no advice except this: don’t start a new love (or any) relationship before Thursday. This night to Saturday brings relationship excitement, new horizons: quiet, sober, secure ones. Hmmm. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
