ounties say they arrested a “puppy-punching car thief” Tuesday afternoon in Chilliwack.

The strange and sad incident began when undercover officers with the RCMP’s Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team (IMPACT) found a stolen 2010 Ford Expedition in downtown Chilliwack.

The SUV had EB IRST been stolen the First reported on previous night chilliwacktimes.com from a Coquitlam auto dealership and had a stolen licence plate on it.

As police closed in on the man to make an arrest, the scene got markedly stranger. An officer saw the suspect got out of the vehicle, opened a rear door, and punched

achary Clay’s perfect cartwheels at preschool set him apart when he was just three years old.

His teachers told his parents he should probably go into gymnastics.

Turns out they were right.

Last weekend the 14-year-old Chilliwack athlete, who competes for Twisters Gymnastics Club in

Hard work and determination pay off with allaround gold medal at national championships

Abbotsford, won all-around gold in the tyro (age 13 to 15) category at the Canadian National Gymnastics Championships in Kamloops.

Clay earned the all-around title by winning gold on vault, parallel bars and pommel horse, silver on floor, and by placing fourth on the horizontal bar and rings.

“It’s my first time winning nationals, so it feels really good,” said Clay, adding that one of his favourite parts of competing is the relief when it’s over.

Winning nationals was a particularly big relief.

Clay was in first place after the first day of competition, but he

had been in a similar position in February at the Elite Canada meet in Quebec.

During that competition, his lack of experience got the better of him on the second day, according to his coach, Richard Ikeda.

Upfront Epp in court Jason Epp, the Chilliwack school teacher accused of sexually assaulting two students, is due to appear back in Chilliwack provincial court on June 22.

A lawyer representing Epp appeared in court on Tuesday for reading of charges against her client.

Epp did not appear in court but his lawyer told the court her client wants proceedings to move quickly.

No plea was entered at the hearing, which was attended by several parents. In addition to the two counts of sexual assault, Epp is charged with two counts of sexual interference of a person under the age of 16.

Postponed The Ident-A-Kid program scheduled for June 5 at the Cottonwood Mall has been postponed. The child safety program, which collects information and finger- and footprints from children, will return in September.

Abby man charged in murder Roommate facing first degree murder charge in death of Angela Crossman

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes

N

early a year after Angela Crossman’s body was found beside an Agassiz forestry road, police have arrested and charged her roommate with first degree murder.

Police arrested 32-year-old Ian Michael Hewitt, of Abbotsford, on Tuesday. He appeared in Chilliwack provincial court Wednesday.

The first degree murder charge means police think Hewitt planned the killing of Crossman, 39.

RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Dale Carr, with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, told the Times that Hewitt was an early suspect.

“Early on, we had started to focus on Mr. Hewitt,” he said.

Carr credited Chehalis Chief Willie Charlie with connecting investigators to local witnesses and helping police understand the area where Crossman was found.

Her body was discovered June 11, 2009, 2.5 kilometres up Chehalis Lake Forest Road on the way

First degree murder charges have been laid in connection with the 2009 death of Angela Crossman.

to Elbow Lake. The previous day she had visited Abbotsford Regional Hospital at 5 p.m. for a personal issue. She returned to the home she shared with Hewitt at 8 p.m.

“They had been living in the same residence for approximately two weeks,” said Carr. “Angela was in between homes and had been staying at the same house Mr. Hewitt was living in, as a roommate.”

Carr said Crossman was between homes and had been invited into staying in the same home as Hewitt while she tried to find more permanent housing, said Carr. The two had previously lived next door to each other for about six months.

Another family, including Hewitt’s friend Alexander Paul, also stayed in the home.

Hewitt had been convicted in 2004 on theft charges. Crossman, meanwhile, “was not involved in anything untoward, there are absolutely no links to drugs, gangs or organized crime. She was simply trying to make friends here in the region and, based on our evidence, came across someone clearly very sinister,” said Carr. “Angela was an individual that was trying to find her place.”

She seemed to have moved into the wrong home, however. Not only is Crossman dead and Hewitt in jail, but Paul was shot and killed during a dispute last July.

Crossman was from New Brunswick but had moved to British Columbia a year before her death. She settled in Abbotsford, where she had lived two years prior, and was receiving treatment for an undisclosed but serious illness.

Last year her father told the Vancouver Sun that Crossman loved the West Coast weather and had made many friends through music and a local church, Fresh Wind Fellowship.

“She was very talented. She could play the guitar, the piano, and a couple different horns,” said her father.

Aquifer latest gravel mine concern

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

C

ould the location of a proposed gravel mine in the Chilliwack River Valley be on top of an aquifer that recharges the Sardis-Vedder Aquifer, the City of Chilliwack’s water supply?

That’s one among many of the latest concerns of valley residents opposed to the gravel pit and they say it is based on information from a government hydrology report.

Aquifer X, as it is called in the Ministry of Water, Land and Air Protection’s online report on groundwater resources of British Columbia, is described as a “deep (150m) sandy, gravel aquifer that probably extends for many kilometres up the Chilliwack River Valley, from its confluence with Slesse Creek.”

The report states that there are three artesian wells at the Chilliwack Salmon Hatchery and that the “full extent of this aquifer has never been explored.”

Critics say ‘Aquifer X’ would be harmed In an interview with the Times on May 13, the mine’s proponent Brent Tolmie said there is no surface water of any kind on the proposed mine site.

But Fraser Valley Regional District area E director Dave Lamson and others disagree.

“There is Pierce Creek and two others that show on his engineer’s report,” Lamson said that same day.

Valley resident Sue Federspiel, who has been involved in the campaign to stop the gravel mine from being approved, said she spoke last week with the groundwater hydrologist that wrote the section on Aquifer X in the government report. She said he figures the size of the aquifer could be much different from what has been stated.

“He strongly recommends before this proposal proceeds to have a groundwater hydrologist assessment, as the risks are there,” Feder-

spiel said. “He said that the sand and ongoing collection of signatures is gravel act as a filter for the aquifer, now at 1,200.

Education icon dead at age 103

Mother too weak to feed her pups Crown lays animal cruelty charges

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

C

hilliwack education legend George “Wilf” Graham has died.

Former teacher, principal and superintendent, the 103-year-old Graham died in his sleep last Thursday.

Graham was born in Greenwood, B.C. in 1907 and moved to Chilliwack in 1909. He attended high school at the old Chilliwack Central School, which was located where the Southgate Shopping Centre is now, and during his teaching career taught at Atchelitz, Robertson, and Sardis schools before he became a principal.

Graham was principal of Chilliwack High School to a generation of future leaders in the 1940s and they remember him fondly. It was in recognition of his pioneering educational leadership that Chilliwack’s newest middlesecondary school, G.W. Graham, was named after him in 2005.

Chilliwack MLA John Les rose in the Legislature Tuesday to recognize the passing of Graham.

“With regret, I advise the House today of the passing of one of my constituents Mr. G. W. Graham at the age of 103,” Les said.

rown counsel has laid animal cruelty charges against a Chilliwack woman in a case involving an emaciated golden retriever and her 11 puppies.

Paula MacGougan faces charges under both the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and the Criminal Code of Canada, according to a Chilliwack SPCA press release issued Monday.

The case dates back to January and involved two adult dogs and 11 four-week-old puppies found in a home on Birmingham Place in Sardis.

The nursing mother golden retriever, whose ribs protruded through her thin coat, was taken into veterinary care, and the fourweek-old puppies received care for nutritional issues, according to the SPCA.

“It is such a sad case because it was completely preventable,” said Eileen Drever, BC SPCA senior animal protection officer. “The mother was trying to care for her babies but she was so malnourished it was difficult for her to provide for them.”

Drever said the dogs were kept in a home with no food or water in an area littered with feces and urine.

“When the owner of the animals did not comply with an SPCAorder to seek EB IRST immediate First reported on veterinary chilliwacktimes.com treatment for the animals we obtained a warrant to seize them.”

She said a male red retriever, who was being kept outside the home in a feces-filled yard with no potable water or shelter, was also taken into SPCA care and was treated for an ear infection.

Both adult dogs and 11 puppies have now been adopted, according to the SPCA.

Sardis secondary Grade 12 student Michael Christensen hoists the B.C. flag after winning gold in Mechanical Computer Assisted Drafting and Design at the national Skills Canada competition in Waterloo, Ont. last week.

Christensen imagines the building blocks to success Sardis student wins gold at national skills competition

BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

It all started with Lego.

For Michael Christensen, Lego, bikes and piles of junk in his backyard all did their part to feed his love of taking things apart and putting them back together again.

Last week those childhood interests paid off at the national Skills Canada competition in Waterloo, Ont. when the 18-yearold Sardis Grade 12 student won gold in Mechanical Computer Assisted Drafting and Design (CAD).

On May 20 and 21, in four grueling, threehour sessions, Christensen produced work that beat out the best high school and postsecondary competitors in the country and landed a spot on Team Canada.

His sites are now set on the WorldSkills competition in London in 2011.

“He’s a pretty sharp guy,” said Sardis drafting teacher Greg Barber who introduced Christensen to drafting in Grade 10.

Christensen signed up for the course because he had a spare block and quickly discovered he had a knack for it.

For him, the key is being able to imagine objects before he creates them.

Working with complicated assemblies, he first pictures the base features and then imagines the pieces being put onto them.

“It will slowly be getting built as if I was building it myself, and then I take it apart again to see if it works, and then I go and build it.”

Christensen, who plans to study engineering, worked his way through most of the drafting courses at Sardis by the end of last year.

One of the most important would prove to be Career Prep Drafting, which includes a one-week work experience component.

Christensen was placed at RMS Ross, a

company that designs and manufactures mining machinery.

The company uses different drafting software from the kind used at Sardis, so on Barber’s recommendation, Christensen familiarized himself with the program ahead of time.

Since it usually takes students the whole week to get to know the program, RMS Ross wasn’t sure what to do with Christensen after he zipped through the trials in the first two days.

They ended up letting him work on actual projects, and by the end of the week, they were so impressed with his work, they offered him a part-time job.

Christensen now works there about 30 hours per week and loves it.

“The best description of my job is I get to play with Lego all day, virtual Lego,” he said.

Since he hasn’t taken a drafting course since last year, he said it was his work at RMS Ross that fine-tuned his skills enough to take gold in Waterloo this year.

Last year he won bronze at the national event, but this year his chances to win the whole thing looked good from the start as he blew through the regional and provincial events well ahead of his competitors.

To prepare for competition on the world stage as part of Team Canada, Christensen will now attend training sessions and even take on a series of speaking engagements to promote Skills Canada.

“It should be pretty exciting,” he said.

He is also trying to find someone in Chilliwack who knows the drafting program Solid Edge and has a background in engineering to train him One indication of how fierce competition at WorldSkills in London is expected to be is that Christensen and his new teammates are also all undergoing mandatory psychological assessments.

“Apparently it’s stressful,” he said. “They don’t want anyone to crack.”

For Christensen, however, it’s all worth it, and he recommends competing in the program to anyone.

“It’s going to look great on my resumé for one,” he said.

Spills the price of cheap oil

U

nless you are a history nerd or a petrochemical engineer, you’ve probably never heard of the Pennsylvanian Oil Rush.

It’s pretty much exactly what it sounds like. In the 1860s, a combination of drilling technology improvements and oil discoveries in the northeastern part of the state led to the world’s first oil boom.

Drillers, teamsters, tool makers and railway tycoons remade a small section of Pennsylvania. Until the oil ran out, of course. Extraction peaked in the 1890s, and interest shifted to places like Texas and California.

Why oil? Because it was a lot easier to dig an inert substance out of the ground than it was to send out ships to hunt down and slaughter thousands of whales. Kerosene proved cheaper than whale oil to light homes.

Then it turned out that you could use oil for all sorts of other things, like fuelling the new four-stroke engine invented in Germany at around the same time. And for trains, and ships, and finally aircraft.

Also, it turned out you could make plastic and fertilizer and all sorts of other stuff out of this gunk that just leaked out of the ground.

And it did leak out of the ground in some places. The Beverly Hillbillies line about “bubblin’ crude” was no exaggeration in the early days of oil exploration. Near the city of

MATTHEW CLAXTON

Be Our Guest Baku, in what is now Azerbaijan, the tarry deposits on the surface were famous. Zoroastrian worshippers used to arrive and pray at the place that sometimes spontaneously caught fire; the ascetics were still turning up intermittently as oil derricks went up in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Of course, the easy oil was gone pretty quickly. America used to be an oil exporting nation, but those days are long gone; it’s oil production peaked in 1970.

There is still plenty of oil out there, of course. The big difference between now and the 1860s is that we’ve pretty much used up all the easy-to-get-at stuff, all the bubblin’ crude and gushers are gone.

Which is why we’re eagerly watching as robots try to fix a gigantic oil leak thousands of feet below sea level in the Gulf of Mexico.

When the easy oil was gone, drillers looked further afield, and more extreme environments came to seem like a good bet. Undersea oil. Oil in dangerously unstable countries, such as Nigeria or Iraq.

Oil in the far north. Oil owned by

dictators.

Oil thousands of feet under the Gulf of Mexico.

As I wrote this column, BP, the company that brought you a new name for environmental catastrophe, was cautiously optimistic that the leak in its destroyed Gulf pipe, had finally been plugged.

While BP insists that all its solutions are incredibly high tech, it’s hard to square that with ideas that are “plug it with mud” or “siphon it off with a big straw.” These are solutions from the mind of a fiveyear-old. Only the location of the drill makes this a really difficult problem.

Someday in my lifetime, we’ll hit peak oil, the point at which we’re finding less and less oil while using more. We know we’re going to have to wean ourselves off oil.

But before the Gulf disaster, we didn’t think much about the hazards of the long, downhill slope after peak oil. If all our oil comes from difficult, inaccessible places, does that increase the likelihood of more disasters like this one?

I think it probably does. BP (and its competitors) would probably argue that they’re very careful, better technology, etc. But the Gulf disaster speaks for itself. How many more of these can we afford to sustain, just to keep oil reasonably priced for a few more years? ◗ Matthew Claxton is a reporter with the Langley Advance.

n a remarkable bit of backwards thinking, the B.C. Court of Appeal has put hand-cuffs on a law enforcement initiative that works to reduce the impact of marijuana grow operations in local communities.

While we understand the court’s willingness to value the right to privacy, it’s difficult to understand how that value supersedes the safety concerns surrounding intense use of electricity—usually stolen and often dangerously rerouted —involved in many grow ops.

It started with the case of Arkinstall et al v. Surrey et al, brought by two residents of Surrey who refused to allow safety inspectors to enter their home as long as they insisted on being accompanied by police officers.

The inspectors were abiding by provisions of B.C.’s Safety Standards Act that— until struck down by the B.C. Appeal Court in May—let municipal and fire inspectors enter anyone’s home for safety inspections if they suspected the home was being used to grow marijuana.

The Appeals Court ruled that such inspections violate the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and that in the future, administrative warrants will be required.

That would still allow the inspections to take place, the court maintains, but would reasonably protect individual privacy.

And it would give marijuana growers the heads up they need to clear out and restart their operations in a new neighbourhood.

Once again, law enforcement gets the run-around, and it would seem criminals get the breaks.

Taxes driving them to shop in the U.S. Editor: I just read in the Times a story about local farmers and other businesses rooting for the HST. Well duh—more money for them.

Well not me. I do not support the the HST. This is a tax forced upon us. The politicians only have one solution to paying debt and that is through everyone’s wallet.

My wife and I travel to Washington to do our shopping every two weeks.

Groceries are too expensive here in B.C. because we are taxed to the dickens here in Canada and B.C. In fact, we shop for almost everything down there now.

I am very thankful that my family live so close to the U.S. God bless America for sure. Besides, after seeing some of these 5,000-squarefoot shacks popping up on farms around here, I don’t think the farmers are hurting too badly.

I am certain that some will reply with a “Why don’t I move to the U.S. if it is so good?” I want to say that I love living here and love shopping down there.

And, they are allowed to have family, or at least their spouse, accompany them on most, if not all, trips.

While I believe that B.C. MPs can have a considerable travel schedule it may not be as bad as most realize. They are allowed to establish a pad in Ottawa and also allowed to travel business class with their spouses—all at public expense—so if there are no pressures at home they can remain comfortably in Ottawa.

Astonishly, most, if not all of these perks also apply to senators.

Regarding the explanation of our MP’s printing cost. It can be noted that his cost almost doubles that of Stock-

Get a different job MP Hiebert Editor: Men have worked away from home for many generations. If MP Russ Hiebert needs $637,093 to maintain family life, then hey guy, get a different job.

Our government’s actions and attitudes need to be reconnected to the people they serve not the other way around. Let’s start with better care and better lifestyles for those who really need it.

Hello world, is anyone out there listening?

Thanks to city for lower taxes Editor: Re: 2010 property taxes.

I received my 2010 property tax notice today— incredibly unbelievable.

All of my expenses are increasing except for my property tax, which has decreased this year.

Many thanks, to you council and staff who made this possible. Way to go boys and girls!

Our veterans deserve better Editor: During the past five years under the leadership of

NDP MP Peter Stoffer, and the support of thousands of military/RCMP veterans, we have been fighting the government of Canada, with regards to the benefit reduction applied to our veterans pension at age 65—or sooner if they become disabled.

On May 5, 2010, for the fourth time, Conservatives MPs were directed to vote against Bill C-201. The Bill count was successful and the final vote recorded was 149 yeas and 134 nays. The speaker of the House of Commons then declared that Bill C-201 was carried, but he also discharged it from the Parliament agenda because the Prime Minister of Canada refused to request a Royal recommendation. It therefore died on the order table!

In the 2005 campaign, Mr. Harper, stated that: “When a motion passes the democratic elected majority of the House of Commons, the Government shall honour that motion”! (Hansard, 2005) Once elected the Conservative party rules changed.

Most Canadians are not aware that disabled veterans must resort to the courts to receive a just and dignified disability pension. Veterans must also resort to the courts for the return of the $20 billion surplus that was taken from their pension account. Veteran hospital beds are closing across Canada. Soup kitchens are surfacing in our Legions.

Military/RCMP veterans and their families are very frustrated of the unjust/ unfair treatment they have received from the federal government.

Truckers should be paid more Editor: Re: Gord Currie and Nicole Brinson letters.

While I do agree some with Mr. Currie and some with Mrs. Brinson I think that they are both missing the mark.

I am the wife of a trucker.

I am a single mother most of the time because of my husband’s job and I think he is grossly underpaid. While I wouldn’t compare him to a doctor his job does come with a lot of responsibility that goes unnoticed and unpaid.

Never have I known a profession where you work so much for free. Doctors get paid for the hours they work and truckers really don’t.

They get paid for miles, drops and picks and tarpping, etc. They don’t get paid while they sleep away from the comforts of their homes and families. They don’t get paid while sitting in traffic waiting for construction.

They don’t get paid for the piles of paperwork they have to fill out and submit.

Yes, their education isn’t very long but it can be expensive for the right training. I am a nurse so I do know a thing or two about years of school and tuition.

Truckers do need higher wages and jobs should be better regulated. I, for one, dream of the perfect job for my husband that actually includes benefits such as medical and dental, sick days and holidays. Only one of his jobs in the last four did and then the pay was even smaller. I did choose to stay home with my kids and yes I believe that women can do anything but given what the trucking industry demands of its workers, it is very rare to have a female driver make a long-term career out of it.

Mr. Currie I do understand where you are coming from although your letter could have benefited from a little more tact. I do know your frustration.

Mrs. Brinson I agree, it doesn’t matter what’s between your legs but people in general need to be educated about the trucking industry. I am glad that

your daughter has high goals for her life but not everyone can go to medical school and become doctors.

My husband wasn’t given that option growing up. He grew up in a logging town, his dad owned a trucking company and so he got his Class 1 and started working for his dad. So I guess he just has to suck it up now, put up with low wages, long hours on the road, poor benefits and hazardous working conditions just because he didn’t “career plan”? I will tell him that the next time he misses a first with one of his kids because he’s driving back to Canada with building equipment that has to be delivered in two days yet he is a three-day drive away, or when he gets a $500 fine because he missed marking a stop on his log book so forget paying our electric bill this month.

Hopefully your daughter will be better treated and better paid no matter what she chooses.

Missed point of the column Editor: Re: Josanna Savoie letter, June 1 Times.

It is too bad Josanna did not read Rick Bellavance’s column accurately. Her second paragraph “He goes on to say . . .” does not properly convey what Rick said in his column. The point of Rick’s story about the two men is that Christ loved us and saved us before we obeyed and our obedience should flow out of our thankfulness for that love.

It is also too bad Josanna “thought (she) would give religion a chance” but doesn’t understand that God is giving her every chance to accept Him and His love, in faith. Josanna, and others, please take Rick’s good advice. Find a Bible and start reading it.

And yes, Rick Bellavance is right when he says we don’t deserve this love. Yet we receive it.

Don’t we want to thank God for this love by living as He wants?

ome Improvement, Flip This House, and the Extreme Home Makeover are just a couple of my favourite TV shows. I know it is sad isn’t it.You would think as a pastor I’d give my leisure time to more substantive viewing like Oprah, or TheView, or Dora the Explorer. I share with you my fascination with home improvement shows because at the core they sooth my sense of inadequacy when it comes to home improvement projects. Somehow watching others struggle with home repair, or, better yet, renovation makes me feel better as I think about how projects like that leave me anxious, overwhelmed, and feeling inadequate to the task.

As I write the world around me is in extreme disrepair. My place of

Extreme Makeover: Life Edition employment is undergoing a major renovation.Walls that once showed the wear of years of good use now lie in a pile of debris as skilled journeymen tear them down and build new, differently purposed ones in their place. Jackhammers, circular saws, nail guns (something that causes me an unhealthy sense of fascination— did you know you can shoot a nail across the room if you know how?— unfortunately no one will show me), and the strains of heavy equipment fill the air around our office space. As the walls around me come down I watch with fascination as beams are put in place to replace bearing walls that hindered traffic flow, as an elevator is put in to ensure access for all, and as a sprinkler system is installed

to ensure safety in case of fire. To be frank, it is hard (alright not for me but for the workmen), messy work. All of this renovation comes with a steep price. Not only the financial cost, but the cost of stretching and growing, flexing and changing as what was old is made new. There comes a sense of loss as what we have enjoyed for years is transformed, and a sense of apprehension as we wonder what the future holds.

Having said that I would be remiss if I failed to mention that there is a significant sense of joy that outweighs the challenges. Our renovation comes from a desire to adapt and grow as the needs of our community change and as we strive to remain both current and effective. It

comes with a sense of new hope as we watch the transformation occur around us. It comes with a sense of accomplishment as we recognize we cannot live in the past without missing what God intends for us to experience in the present. As a matter of fact, all this renovation talk makes me think about the continual renovation that is taking place in my life and the lives of all those around me.

It is a renovation that God promises to accomplish in my life if I award him the contract. It was Jesus who said “behold I make all things new.”

This phrase comes in the context of the book of Revelation where Jesus promises life transformation to all who will accept his offer. It is an offer that promises a radical transforma-

tion an all-encompassing renovation.

Jesus offers to take the old and make it new. It is an extreme life makeover not merely a home improvement.

The key, Jesus says, is allowing him access to our lives. Trusting in his skill and expertise as a master build; building the lives of individuals and transforming them to be all God intended for them. As I think about it it strikes me that ultimately God is in the business of life improvement.

He is in the business of renewing and restoring lives. He is about refurbishing what was old, run down and in need of repair and making it new.

The process isn’t necessarily easy. It costs dearly, but in the end what is created is spectacular, breathtaking and transformed. How is your house?

Is it in need of repair? I know a good contractor if you are interested. ◗ Ron van Akker is lead pastor at Central Community Church.

Willing gives it her best shot . . . and it was good enough for gold

T

asha Willing rounded out a solid weekend at the B.C. Elementaries Track Meet last weekend by taking first place in the shot put.

Willing, 12, won the event with a throw of 7.56 metres. Her discus throw of 23.9 metres claimed second prize for her.

Brandon Bateman, 11, also posted multiple podium results. Bateman ran the 200 metres in 30 seconds flat to claim second price. He was also second in the 800-metre,

with a time of 2:36, and the high jump. He rounded out a solid weekend with a sixthplace 100-metre run and a seventh-place shot put.

Back on the girls side of the ledger, 12year-old Megan Muri claimed fourth place in the 1,200-metre event and fifth place in the 800 metres. She also registered a 10.53metre discus throw.

Other Chilliwack athletes to post strong results include: Ryan Higuchi, 13, who claimed 16th place in the 300 metres and the long jump; Clayton Hutt, 11, who finished the 100 metres in 17 seconds; and Braden Ricardo, 13, who posted a 15.85-second time in the 100 metres and a 2:54 800-metre clocking.

Danger Lurks at Intersections Long weekends often prompt the police, through the media, to remind everyone about basic road safety. This spring the focus is on red-light running. RCMP Supt. Norm Gaumont is reported as saying, “I’ve told our people there will be no warnings, but tickets only. …

The RCMP and Vancouver Police Department and all police forces in BC will Cedric Hughes be targeting infractions at intersections vigorously in the next couple of months, starting right now.”

This reminder includes the penalty for running a light—$167—and, lest the listener/ reader be tempted to ignore it as somehow inapplicable, a recitation of the should-beshocking-but-aren’t-really statistics in BC: a daily average of 250 crashes at or near intersections comprising 50% of all crashes; of the 35 fatalities on Vancouver streets in the last two years, 70% occurring at or near intersections.

To try to highlight the extent of the problem, Nicolas Jimenez, ICBC’s Road Safety Director gives the example: “In the last five years, more people have been involved in an intersection crash than every man, woman and child living in the city of Vancouver.”

Within this broad category, a further bit of statistical digging finds some new and perhaps not surprising (changing demographics?) trends. The latest Quick Look at Intersection Crashes in Canada from Transport Canada’s Road Safety and Motor Vehicle Regulation Directorate states that fewer children under 16 are being killed or seriously injured in intersection crashes and that intersection-related fatalities among drivers aged 16 to 19 have decreased by almost 20% between the latest comparison periods 1996-2001 and 20022004.

The Quick Look indicates that of all intersection fatalities, “40% involve a driver failing

to yield the right of way or disobeying a traffic sign or signal. [Failingto-yield-the-right-of-way crashes generally involve turning vehicles; crashes resulting from disobeying a traffic sign or signal usually involve running stop signs or signal lights.] The report goes on to say that “older drivers (aged 65 years or older) are much more likely to commit an Barrister & Solicitor infraction leading up to an intersection crash than most other drivers.”

It also notes that “more middle-aged motorcyclists are being killed or seriously hurt in intersection crashes” and that “more pedestrians, especially seniors, are being killed in intersection crashes.

According to the eminent traffic safety expert, Leonard Evans, the statistics “consistently show that young male drivers have the highest fatality and crash rates, and pose the greatest threats to other road users.” If the above-mentioned Quick Look statistics are indicative of a new trend, —not surprising given that more seniors are driving and driving later in life than ever before— the solutions for making intersections safer for seniors will likely come through design and training innovations that should also benefit all users. Quick Look suggests (we paraphrase) the following: • Design intersections with senior drivers and pedestrians in mind.

• Install longer pedestrian walk signals.

• Reduce visual clutter at intersections.

Eliminate unnecessary signage.

• Simplify intersection layouts.

• Add more left-turn lanes and signal-controlled left-turn intervals.

Senior driver training and licensing have been ongoing issues for some time, and will increasingly be a topic of discussion.

Runner joins the Clan

Vugteveen looking forward to competing in NCAA

F

ollowing a record setting performance at the Fraser Valley High School Championships, Chilliwack runner Travis Vugteveen announced Wednesday that he will join the Simon Fraser University (SFU) Clan track and field team for the 2010-11 season. Vugteveen is the first men’s track recruit announced by SFU head coach Brit Townsend as SFU makes the transition into the NCAA next season.

“I am extremely excited that Travis has committed to Simon Fraser University,” said Townsend. “He has a great deal of talent and it will be an honour to be able to work with an athlete with his passion and dedication to strive for the highest level of the sport.”

Vugteveen joins SFU after breaking Graham Wells’s 10year old Fraser Valley High School Championship 800metre record, posting a time

Travis Vugteveen of 1:51.50 for Unity Christian to win the 2010 FVHS Championships on the Swan Track in Abbotsford in early May. Vugteveen narrowly missed breaking the B.C. High School mark of 1:50.78, set by Peter Scharph in 1984.

“I’m looking forward to competing at the NCAA level, it will be a good challenge,” saidVugteveen of joining SFU. “I know that SFU is a really good school academically, I’m planning on studying kinesiology and their program is quite well respected, and their track and field program has a

great history of success.”

A former soccer player,Vugteveen began focusing exclusively on track last season, training with the Valley Royals club, and qualified for the World Youth Championships in Italy. Representing Canada, Vugteveen finished 17th out of over 60 runners at the championships, and one day aspires to represent Canada at the Olympic games.

“I enjoy the 800-metre because there is a lot of strategy involved, it’s a good combination of speed and strength,” commented Vugteveen. “Last year was my first season training with the Valley Royals, and the spring was when I started to get faster, and that experience helped build my confidence moving forward.”

The SFU track and field team returned this past weekend from the 2010 NAIA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Marion, Indiana, with two individual national champions, one relay national championship, and 11 athletes earning NAIA All-American status. Simon Fraser University will officially move into NCAA Division II in 2010-11, becoming the first Canadian institution to join the NCAA, and will become a member of the Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC).

Win earns Clay spot on age group team CLAY, from page 1 “He wasn’t used to that because he was never in that position of being first the first day,” he said. “It’s a different feeling trying to chase someone compared to being the top guy and having them chase you.”

Clay blew the second day at Elite, but after a rigorous competition schedule, he came to nationals physically and mentally prepared.

“He really knew what he wanted to do,” said Ikeda. “He wanted to go out there and win, and second day he was rock solid.”

According to Ikeda, the key to Clay’s success is hard work.

“No one else in here works like he does,” he said, adding that an athlete’s work ethic can make or break a career even at the highest levels.

Although Clay’s mom Rachelle said she never had to push him to go to gymnastics, Clay admits some days are harder than others.

“There are those days when you have a big rip on your hand and you still have to do high bar or rings,” he said. “That might hurt, but after you feel good.”

Clay’s win at nationals has earned him a spot on the Age Group National team, and he’ll be heading for his first training camp at the end of the month.

His goal for the summer is to work on

Chilliwack gymnast Zachary Clay trains on the pommel horse at Twisters Gym in Abbotsford Tuesday. The 14-yearold won overall gold in the Tyro Division at the National Championships in Kamloops last weekend.

his two weakest events, high bar and rings, and Ikeda says the high-level camps will help.

“Having other guys there that are better at, say, rings, it pushes you,” he said, “and you learn from other coaches.”

If he can bring up his skills on high bar and rings enough by the end of summer, Clay will skip his last year of tyro and compete in the junior division next year.

Ultimately, Clay’s dream is to compete at the Olympics and win at least one gold on the pommel horse, his favourite event.

According to coach Ikeda, the win at nationals is a good start.

“He’s on his way,” he said.

P

Douglas Scott Renz’s family contacted police on April 29 to report the 50-year-old missing. They told police that they hadn’t been heard from him since last November.

RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Lea-Anne Dunlop said Renz “kept fairly regular contact with family and they hadn’t heard from him in a while.”

She said acquaintances of Renz in Chilliwack also haven’t seen him recently.

exhausted all leads in their search for Renz and are now looking to the public

for information that could locate the missing man. At the time of his disappearance, Renz was living “a transient lifestyle primarily in the Chilliwack and Yarrow area,” according to an RCMP press release.

Mounties would therefore like to speak to anyone who has had contact with Renz since November.

Renz is five-foot-10 and about 150 pounds, with brown hair and green eyes.

He is balding and had short hair when last seen. ◗ Anyone with information can call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611.

Police say he’s a lousy car thief PUPPY, from page 1 a young dog in the head, said RCMP spokesperson Sgt. Gord Elias.

The 36-year-old man, of no fixed address, was arrested immediately afterwards and the dog was placed with the SPCA. In addition to being a puppy-puncher, police say the suspect is also a lousy car thief. Elias said the man had tried to steal a

bait car on May 14 in Abbotsford.

“We had pictures of him from the bait car . . . and we were just about to release his photo,” said Elias.

Police have recommended counsel lay charges for the possession of stolen property, for breaching his recognizance, and for animal cruelty. The man is also wanted on outstanding warrants from New Brunswick, Alberta and Abbotsford.

Ferns can crack concrete ANNE MARRISON

Green Thumb some.

Q: We have a 10- to 15year-old wisteria at the base of a metal clothesline pole.

It has surrounded the pole and sends out branches that follow the clothesline so we have to trim it. By now it normally has flowers and would be leafing out. When I scraped the branches they were green under the bark.

How can we bring it back to life?

Doris E-mail A: Wisterias are noted for vigour and longevity. It’s very unusual to have one which has failed to flower and has no leaves either.

But the time for leafing and flowering depends on temperature—and we have had several weeks of weather five or six degrees colder than normal. It’s very likely

you’ll get flowers as soon as warmer weather arrives. If your wisteria is on a north slope, or in part shade, normal flowering/leafing could be a tad later than wisterias in warmer, sunnier spots.

Incorrect pruning can reduce the number of flowers, but shouldn’t stop wisteria from leafing out.

Q: I have a 25-year-old jade plant in a large terracotta pot. The smaller branches are shrivelling and falling off. The soil is very hard. I think my jade needs replanting. Do I have to break the pot? Would it be easier to break some branches and re-start them?

Dayna Walker Vancouver A: By dropping branches, your jade plant is telling you it’s ready to be propagated.

This is one of the ways many succulent plants spread.

Your easiest route is starting another Jade plant from a branch.

If you repotted it, most of the branches would fall off.

You could replace it in the See GREEN THUMB, Page 25

Q: I have ferns volunteering by the concrete of the house. Do you think they will cause problems to the concrete?

Mary E-mail A: If they’re volunteering in cracks in concrete, yes, they can cause trouble.

Plants create enormous, slow pressure that makes cracks widen. If the plants remain a long time and get very large, the cracks can expand so much they make more cracks where more plants can volunteer—worsening the problem.

But if these ferns are in a garden bed but next to concrete, they’ll expand unhindered in three directions and will be fine.

In England, I saw a plant we used to call Coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara) that punched its way up through a concrete driveway. Over about five years it grew into a big patch breaking up the concrete all round. Aralia tree suckers can push up through asphalt.

The power of plants is slow, but it’s absolutely awe-

Protect against tetanus

(NC)—If you’re like most Canadians, you’ve probably made a checklist of all the chores you have to do around the yard or cottage while the weather is warm.

But are you really ready?

Carson Arthur, outdoor living expert and host of HGTV’s Green Force and Global TV’s Room to Grow, is reminding Canadians their outdoor chore checklist may be missing one key element—protection against tetanus.

“When preparing for an outdoor project, I find that most people remember to take safety precautions like wearing steel-toed boots, sunscreen or mosquito repellent, but we don’t often think to protect ourselves against hidden dangers like tetanus,” said Carson. “Tetanus doesn’t just lurk on rusty nails—it’s in dirt, soil and dust, so you’re at risk of exposing yourself even through simple things like kneeling in the garden with a scraped knee.”

If you cut or injure yourself while gardening or working on home improvement projects, especially outdoors, there’s a chance of being exposed to tetanus bacteria.

The bacteria that cause tetanus are found everywhere in the environment, including in dirt, soil and dust. The first symptom is usually spasm of the jaw muscles. ◗ More information can be found at www.immunize.ca.

same pot if you root-pruned it, but a small, new re-rooted branch would be much shapelier and less work.

I don’t think you’d need to break the pot, but compacted soil makes the plant hard to dislodge. It might loosen more easily if you run a long, thin knife around the inside of the pot. I keep two long, thin ex-kitchen knives especially for gardening.

I repotted a large jade plant once. The roots were very fine and so shallow they didn’t penetrate the lower half of the pot. Many desert plants have shallow roots that spread over a large area to gather as much rainfall as possible. That’s also why they often grow at widelyspaced intervals. ◗ Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions.

At Home

Choose the right air conditioner for your home and sends cooled refrigerant back into the home. However, the indoor unit, typically attached high on a wall, is self-contained with its own fan to distribute the cooled air.

It is often controlled with a remote.

Mini-split systems often use multiple indoor units, with one on each floor, for example. Ductless units can also be added to a specific area of a home or office that generates excessive heat, such as a computer room.

Your professional air conditioning contractor can help you choose the right air conditioner for your home. More information on finding qualified contractors is available from the Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Institute of Canada online at www.hrai.ca or call 1-877-4674724.

“lines,” that carry refrigerant to the indoor unit or “evaporator coil” that is mounted in the ductwork above the furnace.

The cooled refrigerant returning from the outdoor unit cools the coil which in turn cools the air, while at the same time removing humidity. The furnace fan circulates the cooled air throughout the home, using the same ducts as for heating. The temperature is typically controlled by a dual-purpose heating/cooling thermostat or an energy saving programmable thermostat.

Ductless or “mini-split” air conditioners are typically used in homes that do not have furnace ductwork, such as those equipped with a heating boiler or baseboard electric heat.

Like the split system, an outdoor condensing unit removes heat from refrigerant coming back through refrigerant lines

(NC)—Today air conditioning is widely recognized as a must-have to live and work in comfort through the summer months, particularly in those regions with hot and humid summers.

In its simplest form, an air conditioner transfers heat and humidity from the home to the outdoors while cooling and circulating the inside air to provide a comfortable environment.

There are two types of permanent home air conditioners typically used in Canadian homes today.

A “split” or “central” air conditioning system is combined with a “forced air” heating system. The actual air conditioner, or “condensing unit,” is located outside the home, typically on a concrete pad/patio stone, or mounted on brackets to a wall. It is connected by small diameter copper pipes, or

The Optimist Club of Chilliwack would like to thank the community of Chilliwack, especially their corporate sponsors, Mertin GM, the Times, and Hawk FM, for making the Feed the Children dinner\auction the most successful event to date.

Not only was $11,425 in cash gathered, but the donation of a van from Mertin GM put the total raised at $26,325.

The Mertin GM van will help with the delivery of approximately 500 lunches to 12 schools each day. The keys to the van were handed over to Irene Wesenberg, president of the Optimist Club of Chilliwack.

The Feed the Children program started with recognizing a need in the community for students going to school hungry. Citizen Advisory Committee to the Federal Corrections started out very small with one school and financial support from the school district. The program grew to the point that there is now a non-profit organization to handle and raise the money.

The Optimist Club of Chilliwack, an

international organization, while in discussion with Donna Yates, recognized that they could help to assist this program. The Optimist Club’s mandate is to aid and encourage the development of youth in the belief that the giving of one’s self in service to others will advance the wellbeing of humankind, community life and the world.

Five years ago they donated $750 to this project and decided to make Feed the Children a yearly dinner/auction to help support the community. The event has grown yearly and last year with the help of the community the club was able to raise $10,000 for Feed the Children.

The Feed the Children program has been working tirelessly for five years, starting with one school, and has now turned into delivery of lunches to 12 schools in the community. The hot lunches provide students with daily nutrients, which improves concentration, study habits and socialization skills. The lunches also show that the community cares.

It takes a team of volunteers who daily give themselves to provide the lunches.

The school district provides two workers for four hours a day to augment the volunteers who deliver the food to the schools.

Other community sponsors provide the vegetables, breads and meats, and offenders from the Community Correctional Center (CCC) grow organic vegetables to provide healthy lunches for these students.

It is an awesome community endeavour where the rewards are our future citizens.

on your lawn But if you must water. . .

Lawn sprinkling regulations are in effect from June 1 to September 30.

Sprinkling is permitted from 4am to 9am and 7pm to 10pm on the following days: Wednesday and Saturday for EVEN-numbered addresses Thursday and Sunday for ODD-numbered addresses In the summer, demand for water almost doubles. At the same time we receive less rain and there is less water in the reservoirs. Conserve water by complying with the lawn sprinkling regulations. Saving every drop begins with you!

Lawn Sprinkling Tip

Most lawns only need 2.5 cm of water each week, which means you can water just once a week, or let your lawn go dormant.

Memorial award at UFV honours Marvin Lenz

F

06049489

or Jodi Lenz of Chilliwack, the sorrow is as fresh today as it was four years ago. Then, she had to contend with the sudden loss of her husband Marvin. Now, she has to carry on and be the support for their two young children as they continue to live life without him.

“We miss him every day,” says Jodi. “We treasure the memories of our time shared together.”

A man who was good-natured, unassuming, and devoted to fam-

ily and friends alike, Marvin Lenz is still missed by all who knew him.

However, thanks to the efforts of two close friends, Marvin leaves behind a legacy that will benefit students at the University of the Fraser Valley for years to come.

Wayne Baier and Remmert Hinlopen met Marvin years ago while staying active—they all played squash together. What started as friendly competition grew into friendship and after Marvin passed away, a

determination to honour their lost comrade. Marvin was an active volunteer and Rotarian. In recognition of Marvin and his commitment to community, the two friends suggested an endowed bursary at UFV as the best way to pay tribute.

When deciding on the criteria for the award, Baier and Hinlopen were immediately struck by Jodi’s own situation—that of a single mother with two small children. Thus, the Marvin Lenz Memorial Endowment Bursary

will be available to any UFV student, but preference will be given to a single parent from Chilliwack.

The endowment currently stands at $12,500, a testament to the community’s desire to pay tribute to Marvin. Jodi, however, feels that in today’s economy the $500 award that the fund will generate annually is not quite enough for a single parent who is trying to cover university expenses. Grateful as she and Marvin’s friends are for the donations

received so far, they know that a larger award will make a greater difference in the lives of its recipients.

They are pushing for a new goal of $25,000, which will result in a $1,000 annual payout. ◗ For more information on supporting this award or other university fundraising priorities, please contact UFV development coordinator Jennifer Chrismas at 604-854-4595 or email jennifer.chrismas@ufv.ca.

Warren bringing the G Files

H

e may not be as well-known as his old friend Snoop Dogg or his half-brother Dr. Dre—who he introduced Snoop to in 1992—but Warren G is no slouch on the west coast rap scene and he’s coming to Chilliwack.

Warren Griffin III, better known by his stage name of Warren G, formed the group 213 with Nate Dogg and Snoop Dogg 20 years ago. Then, in 1992, he introduced Snoop Dogg and his music to his brother, legendary rap producer Dr. Dre, who was impressed, signed Snoop to his Death Row Records label and the rest is history.

In 1994, Warren G himself hit it big with the smash single “Regulate,” a duet with Nate Dogg. The song and album it was on went platinum.

Warren G made several contributions to Snoop’s work with his brother over the years, but he opted to develop his talents outside of his famous sibling’s shadow and he went on to produce such artists as MC Breed and 2Pac.

Over the years, he released six solo albums including, most recently, The G Files on Sept. 29, 2009.

As part of the tour in support of The G Files, Warren G hits B.C. on June 6 inVictoria followed by gigs in Nanaimo, Campbell River and then on June 9 he’s at the Echo Room in Chilliwack. ◗ Tickets for the show are on sale now for $30 available at the Echo Room, 9282 Main St.

Taurus April 20-May 20: A major inspiration or eye-opener might occur the first few days – a secret wish could come true, or a financial step bring you unexpected security! Lie low Sunday/Monday – your energy needs re-charging. Now to late July, you’ll bring a new determination and intensity to romantic, creative and sports zones. The friction that might have marked your domestic sphere since last October now fades. Peace returns! Your energy and charisma rise Tuesday to Thursday – you attract others, and your luck surges. Start things, get things done. Chase money – diplomatically! – Thursday eve to Saturday.

Gemini May 21-June 20: An unexpected meeting, idea, or communication during the first half of this week could raise your hopes sky-high – and signal a new friendship, a light love affair, or a wish coming true! One warning: take care that secrets do not interfere with your reputation, standing or ambitions, especially mid-week. Rest, lie low Tuesday to Thursday noon. Contemplate, plan. Your energy and magnetism soar Thursday eve to Saturday – but avoid unintended sharp words. Now to late July, guard against domestic friction – a wish could come true in real estate. Renovations, construction will succeed.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Lie low, contemplate, conserve energy for the next two weeks. Fulfil obligations, handle governmental and administrative tasks, and complete neglected tasks in any area.

Spend time with yourself, re-connect spiritually, be charitable. Contemplate and plan. Be ambitious early week – an unexpected event or influence could bring sudden good career or business luck for the next three months! Perhaps related, the last seven months of “wild ride” in money now dissolves, leaving you financially steadier. For the next two months, success will depend on your ability to communicate and travel.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Your popularity, optimism and happiness continue to brighten, especially Thursday to Saturday! A wish (or many little wishes) can come true over the next two weeks. Entertainment, light romance, flirtations and social invitations pop up here and there. A lucky, unexpected event could occur in your legal, travel, educational, cultural or publishing sphere. This happens almost in the same moment (day, week) as you give up your anger about something in these same areas. For the next two months, more money will flow to you – make sure it doesn’t flow through you. A Gemini is complex!

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Be ambitious this week and next. For the last seven months, financial, lifestyle and sexual matters have held you back, perhaps disconcerted, even frightened you. This ends – for the two months ahead you take these matters in hand, control, enliven, push and solve them. Your sexual magnetism soars for seven weeks. A change, an event or new atmosphere enters early week; it “kicks off” a summer of luck in all these areas: sex, intimacy, finances, investments, lifestyle changes, research and your connections to other people’s money. Many developments this week: avoid deception, anger!

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: A long focus on enjoyment, romance, self-indulgence and children’s affairs ends now. The two months ahead turn your attention to work. At the same time (especially if you were born before March 24), luck returns. A legal, far travel, educational, intellectual or cultural influence enters also. You might work hard on a travel, educational, legal (etc.) project, and have some luck in these. Or you might just fly with your luck and travel urge, far away from work! Your life is changing, and it might do so with unexpected or exhilarating suddenness early this week! You’ll be busy!

June 6 - 12

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Pursue legal, educational, travel, cultural and love objectives this week and next. They enliven and challenge, succeed and frustrate this week. A Gemini (or Virgo) might be involved. Keep an even keel. If your urge to wed and your urge to partner are not represented by the same person, stop. Early week brings an unexpected change, a lucky, unpredictable, fresh exhilaration in love, partnership, contractual and relocation zones, now to early September. This might be “it,” Libra, or it might merely be a precursor of a similar, huge trend in 2011. Prepare for excitement!

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Tackle chores this week and next. You might feel a little frustrated or “neglected by the universe” because opportunities are just not coming your way. This is a good thing, for the opportunities that face you this month and next are traps in disguise. Be patient! Avoid all legal hassles June/July. Exceptions: you might sign legal papers to buy or sell real estate, to protect a child, for a retirement plan, etc. – fine. This whole area (security, kids, real estate, etc.) “wakes up” as new, enlivening, unpredictable, mostly lucky events enter now to September. Midweek’s mellow.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Many secrets will be revealed this week and next (mostly this week) – be a detective. Be silent, watch and listen. Your sexual, intimate urges rise to the surface: lust won’t be a stranger! (But he/she might be.) The anger, impatience and temperamental relations with higherups that have marked your career scene since last October now disappear.A new, unpredictable, friendly, monetarily lucky influence enters your work sphere, now to September. At the same time, a job could end.

You’ll socialize with co-workers, June/July. Work hard Sunday/Monday. Beware deception mid-week.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Love, romance, creative urges, pleasure, beauty, charming kids, speculation, sports fill the two weeks ahead. You could fall in love, especially late this week! But avoid self-deception (and deceiving others) – and realize the one who makes your heart flip and the one you lust after might not be the same person. If so, stop, think before proceeding. The next two months could be very sexual; an affair is possible. Possible, too, that you’ll just talk about it. Secrets are shared – and will “out.” A new, lucky and sociable influence fills June to September. Anger from others ends!

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Partnerships, relationships, opportunities, challenges from others, relocation themes, negotiations, contracts, marriage and/or divorce – these concerns fill the two weeks ahead. The road will be uneven – rocky, frustrating, exhilarating, successful, joyful, maddening, etc.

For success, avoid two “traps” 1) deception or being too mistrusting, especially around Tuesday/ Wednesday; 2) anger or sharp words, especially around Thursday/Friday. Everything is possible, even true love! Now to September, romance, creativity “wake up” luckily! All June/July, be diplomatic with temperamental bosses.

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Focus on endings and new beginnings, on nurturing, home, kids, real estate, retirement, security, Mother Nature, for two weeks. You might end an association, especially Thursday to Saturday. If you don’t do it in anger, it’s justified. An unpredictable, fresh, lucky, odd influence enters your money and earnings sphere now to early September – this could bring an unexpected and freeing event, or that event might come in 2011, first half. Be flexible, opportunistic. A long period of hard work eases up now. All June/July, relationships will intensify – expect heat, anger and attraction! timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
