Gun, drugs & body armour found BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

Harrison Hot Springs man is facing unlawful confinement and weapons charges after police responded to an assault complaint Tuesday. Mounties arrested Amir Laghai, 30, in connection with the incident. A woman known to Laghai suffered non-life-threatening injuries, the details of which police did not release. After executing a search warrant, police seized a loaded 12-gauge shotgun, body armour and drugs that police believe to be ecstasy and cocaine. Laghai has been charged with unlawful confinement, assault, possession of stolen property, possession of a prohibited firearm with ammunition, and unauthorized possession of a firearm. He is in custody and was due to appear back in court Wednesday. Police are waiting for confirmation that the drugs are ecstasy and cocaine before they recommend that Laghai be charged See FOUND, Page 4

Cultural centre executive director Michael Cade describes some of the state-of-the-art aspects of the 500-plus-seat theatre during a tour of the nearly-completed facility this week.

Centre of attention

Local arts lovers anxious to see what’s behind the curtain BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

hilliwack’s arts community is gearing up for the completion of the $22-million cultural centre downtown. And while the state-of-the-art facility looks complete from the outside, executive director Michael Cade emphasizes it’s “almost” ready. “Part of what we are doing now is finding out what works, what doesn’t work, what do we have to do to make it work,” he said. Members of the local media were given a tour of the centre this week to get a taste of what’s in store for arts lovers in the community. After the tour, Cade said that while he had shown off a lot of the building, “You’ve seen everything but 90 rooms.” “The scope and scale of the building is really quite

significant.” At the front of the building is the gallery that will be managed by the Chilliwack Visual Artists Association. There is a large lobby with an open space that itself can be used for craft shows or cocktail parties. There are 14 studios in the Chilliwack Academy of Music section and three additional studios available for others to rent. There are 21 instruction rooms in total, seven dressing rooms and, Cade pointed out, 28 stalls in the women’s washroom to avoid those pesky intermission lineups. Large rooms have been designated for different artistic endeavours such as clay and ceramics, fabric arts, mixed media, charcoals, and all the rooms have storage, drying racks, sinks and even a set-up for Internet access. Extension cords all come from above in the arts rooms to avoid having too many thing to trip over. “Details have really been thought of here,” marketing manager KellyAnne TeBrinke said. There is also the Rotary Theatre, a 160-seat room available for small productions and rehearsals. But the centrepiece of the facility is the 584-seat main theatre with a 40-foot wide, 28-foot high

rade 7 students in the Chilliwack school district continue to struggle with basic literacy and math skills according to B.C. Ministry of Education foundation skills assessment (FSA) results released Tuesday. According to the tests, which measure students’ skills in reading, writing and numeracy at the Grade 4 and 7 levels provincewide, the number of Grade 7 students in the Chilliwack district meeting expectations in numeracy was 14 per cent below the provincial EB IRST average. The number meet- First reported on ing reading and chilliwacktimes.com writing expectations was seven and nine per cent lower respectively. Of the students who wrote the tests, a quarter didn’t meet expectations in writing, more than a quarter didn’t meet expectations in reading and a third didn’t meet expectations in numeracy. The results show little change from last year when all of Chilliwack’s Grade 7 figures came in roughly 10 per cent below the provincial average. Chilliwack’s Grade 4 students

But aquifer to be protected from larvicide spraying BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

Tyler Olsen/TIMES

Chilliwack’s peewee A fastpitch Vipers have gone 29-and-0 this season.

Fastpitch team sports amazing perfect record despite never having to cut a single player BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

wo numbers stick out for Chilliwack’s peewee A fastpitch Vipers squad: 29 and zero. The first is the number of games the Vipers have won this year, the second figure is the number of players the Vipers have cut during the past five years. It’s also the number of games the team has lost this season. The Vipers have trounced rep teams from across the Lower Mainland. They’ve thumped allstar squads of baseball players, and they will likely be a favourite at the Western Canadian Championships, to be held in August in Calgary. But just as impressive is the fact that they’ve done all that while avoiding many of the problems that sometimes afflict elite youth sports. It actually started five years ago, when a Mite team of seven- and eight-year-olds decided they wanted to stick together as they rose through the ranks. “That was the boys’ decision, not the coaches,” said coach Jeff Donegan, whose son Brendon and nephew play on the Vipers.

Across from Multi-Pack Foods and behind Paramount Theatre

The team wasn’t an instant powerhouse, but they built upon their skills while remaining together. Of the dozen players on this year’s squad, 10 were part of that initial Mite team.

“It’s been amazing to see them develop. It’s always me telling them when the practice has stopped.” Coach Jeff Donegan “They weren’t hand selected as an all-star team. These are kids who worked year in and year out to develop,” said Donegan. And after consecutive appearances at the provincial championships in the B and C divisions, the Vipers have become one of only two A teams in British Columbia. “It’s been amazing to see them develop,” said Donegan. “It’s always me telling them when the practice has stopped.” As for money, the great elephant in the room in elite minor sports, the team has fundraised throughout the year to make sure that all

players can take part in tournaments and will continue doing so in preparation for travelling to the Western Canadians. And as it does throughout its system, Chilliwack Minor Fastpitch has paid the registration for players whose families could not afford the costs. But it’s on the field where the Vipers are most impressive. Ryan Kaplanis and Brendon Donegan have fanned dozens upon dozens of batters, and their fastballs regularly exceed 60 miles per hour. (When the shorter pitching distance is factored in, that speed is equivalent to a 91.1 mph hardball pitch.) Meanwhile, the Vipers’ bats have exploded this year, after being the team’s weak spot in past years. “To go through undefeated it’s amazing,” said Donegan. “The kids have kept amazingly levelheaded about it. It’s something we’ve talked a lot about. Now teams are specifically designing things to try to beat us, because we’re the team to beat. It’s the first time we’ve been in that situation.” The berths for the Western Canadians have not yet been awarded but Donegan said he would be See VIPERS, Page 12

espite a virtually insignificant threat to humans, the city of Chilliwack approved the spraying of pesticides to local catch basins as part of a mosquito control program to reduce the risk of West Nile Virus. At the last meeting, city council agreed to endorse the application of pesticides (larvicides) to all catch basins except those in the capture zone for the drinking water supply wells. This area of exception goes from the Vedder River and Yarrow in the south, Watson Road in the north, Vedder Road to the east and Unsworth Road in the west. “We are watching for West Nile but the biggest issue is protecting our drinking water so we have given instruction to “We are the FVRD to use the watching lar vicide in other catchment basins for West but not in any over Nile . . .” the aquifer,” Mayor Sharon Gaetz said. Sharon The mosquito Gaetz control contractor, Morrow BioScience, p r ov i d e d c o u n c i l with an update at the last meeting. Not all mosquitoes are capable of spreading West Nile Virus. The type that spread the virus are the kind found in stagnant water such as ditches, ponds, bird baths and catch basins. In 2009, the first locally acquire case of WNV in a horse occurred in the Fraser Valley, but there have been no locally acquired human occurrences. It is estimated that less than one per cent of mosquitoes carry WNV when the virus is in an area and less than one per cent of people bitten by a mosquito with WNV will get severely ill. “[M]any more people die from the flu than will die from WNV,” the staff report stated.

wack. Jondalar W. Murphy pled guilty to one charge of assault with a weapon in provincial court Wednesday and was sentenced to 293 days in prison and two years probation. The guilty plea stems from an incident

on March 27. At the time, police reported a 24-year-old victim had sustained non-lifethreatening injuries after being stabbed while in the Fletcher Street and Princess Avenue area. No arrest was made at the time but police later identified Murphy and arrested him on April 18. - Staff

◗ Know your limits. Many drowning instances over the years have been as a result of fatigue and being too far from shore. If you cannot swim stay out of the water. ◗ Wear a personal flotation device. This is a good idea for kids and adults alike. The public often underestimates the area’s waterways, sometimes resulting in tragedy. ◗ Watch your speed. Don’t race to the lake, and don’t race on the lake. Speed is a major contributor to incidents on both the road and on the water. ◗ If you travel to the back country go prepared. Have a return time planned, and let someone know exactly where you are going. ◗ Remember alcohol and driving don’t mix, nor does alcohol and water activities.

Wish city luck in landlord biz

oday, July 2, is the last day for Chilliwack homeowners to pay their property taxes without penalty. I wonder how many taxpayers are aware that nearly one in every five dollars in the city’s 2010 budget will go towards buying homes on a 4,000-year-old landslide. The announcement was made back in October that the city agreed to spend $18 million to pay 80 per cent of assessed values to owners of the 42 homes in the Panorama subdivision in the Eastern Hillsides. The homes were built with barely any geotechnical work done and damage was first noticed in the 1990s. Most homes have no damage at all, but the legal advice the city received was that liability might stick, so we are all soon to be the owners of homes on Panorama Drive, Alliston Place, Ridgeview Street and Ridgeview Place. At first, Mayor Sharon Gaetz said the homes wouldn’t be purchased all at once and that the city would have a $1 million budget line item for the forseeable future. That quickly changed and staff budgeted $4 million in 2009, another $4 million in 2010, $1.6 million in 2011 and 2012, and $3.6 million in 2013 in the fiveyear financial plan, according to director of finance Chris Cros-

PAUL J. HENDERSON

SimplyA Musing man. In the end, $3.5 million was spent in 2009, but owners were a little more eager than the city had anticipated, according to Gaetz, so the entire $14.5 million is now in the 2010 budget. “Based on the number of property owners subsequently indicating a desire to sell, we changed the 2010 budget funding to show all of the remaining acquisitions in 2010, on the chance that everyone would want to sell at once,” she told me via e-mail this week. All but four owners have signed on and 27 properties have already been purchased. Given the geological roulette going on here, and given the homes have only slipped a few centimetres so far, it shouldn’t be too surprising owners are all over this deal. Who knows if the slow-moving slide will suddenly pick up speed before an owner signs on to the deal and his or her home ends up on Patterson Road on the valley floor. (Not to mention the incentive

that the city’s offer of 80 per cent of assessed value drops to 70 per cent in 2013.) So with budgeted expenditures of $75.5 million for 2010, the Panorama purchases amounts to 19 per cent of the entire city budget. Now what is the city going to do with 42 homes on a hillside that is moving, not at a snail’s pace, but much, much slower? The city is renting out the homes and 22 have already been spoken for, Gaetz said. “Prior to renting out the properties, an assessment is done to determine if the house is safe to be rented,” she said. Given the widespread anger that taxpayers have had to foot the bill to purchase homes that are slowly sliding down a hill, maybe the rental income will placate taxpayers and the income generated will “offset the investment,” as Gaetz put it. She also said the city is getting market rates and if the homes become uninhabitable and removed, the property will be available for “a passive use.” For now, the city of Chilliwack is in the residential landlord business and I wish them all the luck in the world. Let’s just all hope that none of these houses are turned into grow-ops or the city might have to face the taxpayers with an even bigger problem.

side from the fake lake—I think we can all agree that the fake lake is worth every penny—did we get any value at all from last weekend’s G20 and G8 summits? Well, those who like to dress in black masks and smash windows certainly achieved their heart’s desires. What about the world leaders? Well, they may have enjoyed their photo op against the (fake) backdrop of the Toronto skyline. But their agreement is a hollow one. Reducing deficits and cutting debt may be a worthwhile goal, but the agreement is voluntary, unenforceable and riddled with exceptions. Worse, few questions were raised about the human costs of the age of austerity world leaders want to usher in. What about the protesters outside the Great Wall of Toronto? Well, aside from the window-smashers, they also left disappointed. Many were arrested for the nefarious crime of Being Near Actual Goons, some were tear gassed, others simply got damp. Not one of them ever got within earshot of the world leaders, and the media generally ignored their messages to focus on the vandalism, the riot squads, and breaking news from the World Cup. The police were not served well by the exercise either. Depending on your point of view, they either held back too much, allowing a good portion of Queen Street to be smashed up, or they overreacted, arresting more than 900 mostly-innocent people in the largest mass arrests in Canadian history. Canada, through taxes, spent billions to wine and dine world leaders, to butter up the international media, and to keep the riffraff at bay. Perhaps the next world summit should be held via videoconference instead. We could even send everyone a screensaver image of real Canadian lake.

Increased taxes not always the answer Editor: Way to go Aurora and John Gordon Rhodes. Would that we could all have gotten tickets to the CRA-hosted HST information seminar held on June 21. Alas, the venue was too small to accommodate the numbers! To further your questions for Barry Penner, MLA Chilliwack-Hope, I would like to request his response to the interview conducted by BCTV on this evening’s News Hour. They interviewed two Vancouver businessmen with regard to whether or not any savings would be passed along to their consumers. Their response was that they would only save between one and three per cent with the new changes and in all likelihood this savings would not be passed down to consumers due to the result of increasing cost of materials! History shows that would be the case in any event, but the mind boggles at the amount of word twisting being used to try to convince the taxpayers that this will be a good thing for the economy. Might I also suggest that if the Liberal Party stand by their guns and pushes this through on July 1, then they do away with the provincial income tax. Watch consumer spending increase, businesses thrive and the economy pick up then. All too often when governments overspend and mismanage our funds, their one and only solution is to increase and/or add taxes in order to fix their problems. They are receiving $1.6 billion from the federal government so how about passing that along to the consumer . . . its intended use will likely not happen in any event. Perhaps we need accountants and not politicians managing our monies. Wendy Chaplin Chilliwack

Many in the media have challenged the anti-HST people these past weeks to name things they want to cut if the HST fails. The antiHST people are silent. So go ahead, follow a disgraced premier and a tax-and-spend union party (NDP) to the highest taxed province again. The NDP owes the unions millions of your tax dollars. When the NDP is in power and your being taxed into poverty remember your views you now hold. Joe Cerveny Chilliwack

Pet owners ruining park Editor: We chose our house because it was affordable. The vicinity of the city park was a bonus. Never in my wildest dreams would I see so many pet owners (including my neighbours) be in contempt of a city bylaw that is well-posted upon the entrance to the park. Know what I’m talking about? It’s time our bylaw officers (and city council) stand up and start fining these “repeat offenders” that think

our city parks are dog parks. Enough with getting away with warnings. How many before you get a fine? How many man hours does it cost taxpayers for them to deal with a call? As a person who is afraid of dogs and does not own any, I appreciate all responsible pet owners, but not everyone can be one. Michele Diaz Chilliwack

Big Mac still costs the same Editor: On July 1 people across the country celebrated Canada Day. Other things happened on July 1. British Columbians began paying HST. On the other side of the country, in Newfoundland, minimum wage workers got a raise to $10 an hour. Here in B.C. nothing changed with our minimum wage, the same way nothing has happened to it in the last nine years, frozen at $8 an hour. We called and found that McDonald’s restaurants in St. Johns are starting workers at

$10.25 an hour. Here in B.C. many McDonald’s restaurants start their workers at $6.75 an hour. That is $3.50 an hour less. By the way, a Big Mac in Newfoundland costs $4.19 and, despite the lowest starting wages in Canada, British Columbians also pay $4.19 for the same burger. That is pure profit for McDonald’s, hour after hour, burger after burger, shift after shift. Of course other minimum-wage employers are raking it in too. Raising the minimum wage to $10 an hour is the right thing to do and the vast majority of British Columbians believe it is long overdue. On raising the minimum wage, the question was: If not now, when? After nine years, the question should be: if not now, ever? So the next time you complain about paying HST on a burger, and you have many reasons to be outraged at the HST, remember the person serving you. They are paying HST too, and they haven’t had a raise since 2001. Jim Sinclair president of the B.C. Federation of Labour

Bruins sign giant-size teen

Six-foot-five, 205-pound 15-year-old

T 07027795

he Chilliwack Bruins have signed one of the franchise’s top prospects. The Bruins announced Wednesday that first-round draft pick Keegan Kanzig has signed a

standard WHL contract. As a 15-year-old, and despite standing six-foot-five and weighing 205 pounds, Kanzig will still be only eligible to play five games next year for the Bruins prior to the completion of his minor hockey season. Last year, the towering defenceman scored eight goals and helped lead his Fort Saskatchewan Bantam AAA squad to within a win of the Alberta Bantam AAA Championship.

“We’re really pleased to have Keegan join our organization,” said Bruins general manager and head coach Marc Habscheid. “We feel that Keegan has a chance to be a key part of our team in the future and we look forward to working with him to help him reach his full potential.” Previous first round bantam draft selections include Ryan Howse, the recently drafted Kevin Sundher, Mitch Topping and Steven Hodges.

VIPERS, from page 3 shocked if his undefeated team wasn’t heading to the event. Should they take part, the Vipers think they have a good shot at continuing their run. “ We don’t know who’s there but most likely we’ve got a good chance,” said infielder Dylan Niebergal. Added power hitter Thomas Bunn: “I think we have a good chance.” Still, Donegan isn’t going to get caught up on wins and losses. “The goal is for them to take it all in, get used to the new pressures

Good shot they’re going to face because, for a lot of these boys, when they get back they’re going to have Team BC tryouts.” Indeed, while the Vipers’ season will end soon the fastpitch season continues: five are trying out for B.C.’s Western Canadian team, on which Donegan is an assistant coach, and more than half the team—six players, in all—have been chosen to represent B.C. at the Canada Summer Games this year.

Festival time in Harrison

Eclectic mix of arts, crafts and music makes this two-week party a summer favourite

Dan Hicks

Les Alegres Ambulancias

Mary Jane Lamond

he always-popular Harrison Festival of the Arts starts next Friday and kicks off two weeks of arts, crafts and music from all over the globe. Set in the spectacular natural beauty of Harrison Hot Springs, the 32nd annual version of the festival runs July 10 to 18 with an opening night concert on July 9. Experience the music and art of the world within a relaxed small town atmosphere. The Harrison Festival presents music from all corners of the globe, a large outdoor art and craft market featuring the work of a wide variety of artisans, a visual art exhibit, workshops, a special day for children (of all ages) and much more. Experience the magic of live performing arts at the Evenings in the Hall, with eight full-length concerts, one evening of theatre and one evening of literary readings. The festival kicks off next Friday with a performance from Dan Hicks & the Hot Licks at 8:30 p.m. at Harrison Hall. Hicks is an American original. Since the early 1960s, he has deftly blended elements of swing, jazz, folk and country music to create the appealing sound he sometimes calls “folk jazz.” His lyrics range from the simply sublime to the sublimely ridiculous, presented with an irresistible sense of rhythm, laid-back vocalizing and infamous on-stage wit.

SPECIAL INFORMATION FEATURE

Celebrate the arts at festivals throughout B.C.

The province comes alive in Summer with musical, visual and culinary art showcases

painting, where visitors can meet the artists and see the works in progress. On Vancouver Island’s west coast, arts and the outdoors are the dual passions in Tofino and Ucluelet, two coastal villages along the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. The many craftshops and galleries here include the Eagle Aerie Gallery, a traditional Northwest Coast longhouse highlighting the works of acclaimed artist Roy Henry Vickers.

Claire Newell

Festivals and Events Festivals run year-round in British Columbia, from world-class music events to down home harvest celebrations, with plenty of art, food, scenery and family entertainment thrown in. Summer is when B.C.’s outdoor arts festivals take over beaches, mountain tops and city squares across the province, and some of the world’s best-known performers share top billing with the scenery. At the Kaslo Jazz Etc. Summer Music Festival, for example, the stage floats on the edge of mountainframed Kootenay Lake; at the Harrison Festival of the Arts in the Fraser Valley, world music, dance, theatre and visual arts play out against a lake, beach and mountain backdrop. For the unusual, a trek to Vancouver Island to take in the Nanaimo Marine Festival & Great International Bathtub Race, held each July, promises competitors battling it out in bathtubs of their own design. Island entertainment awaits during the intimate Hornby Festival, which brings classical, folk, world and jazz concerts, plus workshops and readings, to this Northern Gulf Island. Even further off the beaten path is the Edge of the World Music Festival, held in the village of Tlell on Haida Gwaii in August. Also in August, book lovers head to Sechelt for the Sunshine Coast Festival of the Written Arts, Canada’s longest running summer gathering of Canadian writers and readers. Summer is also the time for rodeos, pow wows, and cowboy festivals, from the venerable Williams Lake Stampede in the Cariboo, to the Kamloopa Pow Wow in Kamloops and smaller events throughout the province.

Changing the world from the seats of their bicycles

group of young cyclists from across Canada will ride into Cultus Lake on Tuesday, July 6, armed with an inspiring message of hope and sustainability. Members of the Otesha Project will perform their award-winning play at Main Beach on July 6, at 3 p.m., or at Cultus Lake Community School Gym at 3 p.m. if it is rainy. A donation hat will be passed around at the end of the performance to help support the tour. The performance is being supported by the Cultus Lake Community Association. The traveling theatre troupe is pedaling from Vancouver to Regina for a month deliv-

ering theatre performances and meeting with local environmental groups along the way. On the road, the actors live as a mobile and sustainable community for an entire month, cycling from performance to group meeting to new community, braving the elements, connecting with organizations and individuals along the route, and exploring all the ups and downs of directly addressing environmental and social justice issues through their own everyday actions. The Otesha Project is a youth-run charitable organization that uses theatre to mobilize young people to create local and global change through their daily consumer choices. Otesha troupes have performed to more than 85,000 people across Canada and won international awards for innovative and effective youth-engagement programs. ◗ Check out www.otesha.ca for more information.

Automobile Safety as a Marketing Message

In 1994, Paul Ingrassia and Joseph White, respectively the Wall Street Journal’s Detroit bureau chief and deputy chief, summarized their Pulitzer prize-winning beat reporting on the management turmoil at General Motors in a book optimistically called, Comeback: The Fall and Rise of the American Automobile Industry.

entire American auto industry. …The Corvair added General Motors— and by extension, all of corporate America—to the list of organizations not to be trusted. In some ways, GM’s corporate reputation would never recover.” And he alludes to one of the possible contributing reasons for the non-role of road-safety in the story, a Barrister & Solicitor lack of encouragement for: “any aspirations harbored by the company’s engineers to pursue innovative technology, as opposed to styling or horsepower, as the path to commercial success.”

THE ROAD RULES

Cedric Hughes

Fifteen years later, Mr. Ingrassia has continued the story in the much less upbeat, Crash Course, The American Automobile Industry’s Road from Glory to Disaster published by Random House in 2010. It focuses on GM and Chrysler, but their stories would not be complete without the inevitable comparisons with Ford and the Japanese automakers. And as one reviewer put it, “Also square in the cross-hairs is the role of the UAW in the debacle that has become American auto manufacturing.” An ‘important’ business case study, for sure, but road safety champions will also find it fascinating as they search (almost in vain) for the role (any role) that the development of safety technologies, a focus on building safer vehicles or other safety concerns may have played in the unfolding tragedy. The nastiest sub-plot is recounted quickly: Ralph Nader’s expose, Unsafe at Any Speed of the risk from the allegedly unstable rearengined Corvair, GM’s attempted answer to the unexpected competition from the “Think Small” Volkswagon. A media storm erupted at that time over GM’s admitted “routine investigation [of Nader] through a reputable law firm.” Mr. Ingrassia certainly does not underestimate the effect of the Corvair ‘subplot.’ Indeed he says it is, “almost impossible to overstate the magnitude of the Corvair disaster for General Motors, indeed for the

The breakdown in quality control that followed from the creation of the General Motors Assembly Division in 1971 is also detailed. Unionized workers reacted to the increased line speed and reduction in quality inspectors by resorting to sabotage. Ingrassia describes Time magazine’s report of “Autos [regularly] rolling off the line with slit upholstery, scratched paint, dented bodies, bent gearshift levers, cut ignition wires, and loose or missing bolts.” Clearly, at a certain point quality issues shade into safety issues. Despite these stories, however, over the years the US car companies have made huge contributions to safety initiatives and have responded as required by law and the marketplace. But in this recounting by a car-industry-expert journalist, safety concerns, safety attributes, safety advances play only a minor role and certainly not a strong enough one to have saved them, which is quite possibly an accurate assessment. Either the consumer does not care enough about safe vehicles or the US car companies miscalculated by downplaying safety as an effective marketing message. Cedric Hughes L.L.B.

Dear Dutchess (Joan), Eight years have slipped by without you. But as I reﬂect on the past I think of these things. The sun was shining the day we met. We laughed, we shared many happy moments together. We thought we had all kinds of years ahead, but that was not to be. As each season that comes my way, one thing that is for sure and that is my dear Dutchess is this, I miss you Dutchess until we meet again. Enjoy the roses and ﬂowers in God’s garden and all that heaven has for you. Love, George Postnikoff

July 4 - 10

Cancer June 21-July 22: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness ride high! Pursue career, prestige or business objectives Sunday/Monday. Monday night through Wednesday, happiness, optimism, popularity, social delights and flirtations visit! You might meet a “destined friend” this week or next, who could become a mate. Avoid illusion wafted by a suave, slinky or glamorous person Thursday/Friday – a talkative, nervous, or “precise” type is true blue, honest and helpful. A significant sexual or financial decision might be involved. Saturday has an early problem, then success, energy and great money/career ideas!

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Be ambitious – work with a new project, idea or impulse, rather than anything that emerged over the last two weeks. (A project or goal that existed before August last year is also viable – a major interruption has hindered this goal. This obstacle is slowly ending, though it might linger to March 2011.) Talk about a career goal: a Gemini, an Aries understand. This week’s exciting, sexual, whispers of love – but remain cautious about new romances, relationships, as “marriage” is not part (or a good part) of any new link. Invest Tuesday. Bright friend, bright love Friday!

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Relationships remain most important. Some are approaching the end of a phase, particularly those involving large money or intimacy – there will be a new phase soon. It’s like the dip in a wave. During this dip the best you’ll get is deception. So let those two matters (sex, money) take a breather – next Monday (July 12) onward, they’ll surge again, luckily! Sunday/Monday emphasize home, family, endings, peace. Monday night through Wednesday triggers romance, beauty, pleasure, creative urges. Tackle chores Thursday/Friday – success very likely. Lie low Saturday morning; seek others this p.m.

Taurus April 20-May 20: Soon – next week – you’re going to enjoy some really solid advance in love, with creative or pleasure projects, and with relationships generally. So in these speciﬁc areas, be content to maintain a holding pattern this week. In a broader view, communication, travel and friendly relationships progress in a good way this week – in fact, in one case, this might be your last chance for a while to contact someone. Do so. Lie low, rest Sunday/Monday. Your energy and charisma surge nicely Monday night through Wednesday. Chase money, or study an inventive investment, Thursday/Friday.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Continue to lie low, observe, plan, replenish your energy reserves. Deal with government agencies, charities, institutions and your own head ofﬁce. Sunday/Monday bring a mellow, understanding mood. Be ambitious Monday night to Wednesday — the only thing you have to avoid is a smattering of illusion or wishful thinking Wednesday p.m. (Anxiety and wishing are two sides of the same urge.) The same advice holds, more so, Thursday, when you might dream unrealistically about someone, and they about you. Otherwise, Thursday/Friday are happy, upbeat! Retreat Saturday, especially this morning.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: This week contains opposition and opportunity. Sunday/Monday are for chores, drudgery – get it over with. Exciting meetings arrive Monday night to Wednesday: be diplomatic, eager, refuse to fight. Illusion (or anxiety) about the firmness of the ground you stand on is your only Achilles heel mid-week, especially Wednesday and Thursday. If you’re realistic about this, you can land a deal, grab an opportunity, even trip the love fantastic! Thursday/Friday steer you into depths (finances, sex, health, etc.): a Gemini or Virgo proves a great “guide” here. Saturday, wait for p.m. happiness.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Work, health and drudgery – these come every July, Aquarius, so just plug away. Sunday/Monday feature details, paperwork, errands, travel, communications and friendly meetings. Take a rest, or tackle home-based chores Tuesday/Wednesday. Tuesday’s ideas or urges involving investments, debt reduction, intimacy or lifestyle changes are quite workable. Romance beckons Thursday/Friday – so do pleasure, beauty, creative and gambling urges. But in these, deception lurks Thursday (you could be the deceiver) – Friday, clarity and a talkative person bring brightness! Caution Saturday morn.

Gemini May 21-June 20: Chase money, buy/sell, increase your earnings, seek a pay raise, etc. One money project – and one relationship – is winding down. (Not a big deal.) An atmosphere of friction continues in the home. If you live alone, watch your telephone voice at home. Continue to study good and workable plans/ wishes involving real estate, construction, gardening, or similar matters. Next week through early August luck enters, perhaps bringing the opportunity to step toward those goals. However, DON’T move into a new home, nor buy a family home, before July 30: you would experience much friction there.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Your popularity remains high – but you might almost defeat it by frowning, being attracted to the secretive, the sexual over the friendly. Best approach: dig deeply and definitely into a financial step, a lifestyle-changing project, or a bid for intimacy; but step out of this, quickly and firmly, to greet your friends, make friends, enjoy entertainment, etc. For three weeks, keep these two good, lucky sides of your life separate. Pursue the “deep” side Sunday/Monday, Tuesday night, and Saturday p.m. Sweet wisdom, gentle love Tuesday/Wednesday. Be ambitious, social, Thursday/Friday.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Sunday/Monday are romantic – but friction or ambition might make the dream better than the reality. Still, enjoy yourself. Tackle chores Monday night to Wednesday. It’s a good time to look for work if you’re unemployed. Exciting meetings and partnership opportunities could arise Thursday/Friday. A showy but elusive person could steer you wrong, while a precise or talkative individual will befriend you. Be careful Saturday morning: everything’s at the wrong angle. This p.m., the main trend of this week succeeds: mystery, ﬁnances, investigation, intimacy, commitment – make one!

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Love, romance, beauty, pleasure, vacation,charming kids,creative and gambling urges all flow through you now! Married or single, you’re dealing with someone June/July (hopefully your mate!) who’s feisty, determined, who exudes sexual energy.This link will move from talkative to affectionate, nervous to sweet, soon. In business, a money-earning partnership is possible. In any case, be diplomatic but seductive. Illusion haunts your work sphere, so buy no machinery, and no employment “promises.” Chase money Sunday/ Monday. Home, rest, Thursday/Friday. Everything in the first sentence July 10! timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014

Aries March 21 - April 19: The accent continues on rest, hibernation, nutrition, children, Mother Nature, gardening, property and residence, and on ending some matters and relationships, and nurturing others, especially Sunday/Monday and Saturday. Chuck the unworkable or stale. We all start projects and relationships that don’t work. Your energy’s good Sunday/Monday. Chase money, earnings, buy/sell Monday eve to Wednesday. Avoid illusion. Casual friends, siblings, trips, communications go splendidly Thursday/Friday – but question yourself if you start feeling sweet romantic vibes. Saturday: one goes, another comes.

Chilliwack Walks

Walks a great way to see your city

BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

ike to walk? What about strolling, sauntering or traipsing? Whether you’re a fan of perambulating or just plain hoofing it, Chilliwack is the place to be in July and August. The fourth annual Chilliwack Walks – 8 Walks in 8 Weeks Challenge kicks off July 6 on Fairfield Island, and every Tuesday evening until Aug. 24, walkers of all shapes, sizes and ages can meet at locations around Chilliwack to walk (or wander, ramble or tramp) for fun and fitness. Each of the eight walks features a long four-km route and a shorter two-km route, both of which are suitable for all ages and accessible to wheelchairs and strollers. Picked to highlight points of interest around town, like historic Downtown Chilliwack and the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve, the walks are a great way for local folks to learn about their city. When YMCA organizers added a Cheam wetlands walk last year, for example, many participants were seeing the park for the first time. “Probably 40 to 50 per cent of the people on the walk didn’t even know it existed,” said Chilliwack Family YMCA health and fitness manager Andrea Gieselman. At every walk, Y instructors will be on hand with information sheets that include a health and fitness tip and some facts about the route participants are walking.

For routes like the one downtown, organizers consulted a book at the Chilliwack Museum. “Downtown Chilliwack actually has a really rich history,” said Gieselman, adding the walk downtown also allows people to see quirky shops that might not otherwise be on their radar. While pedestrian site seeing is part of the program’s appeal, the main goal of Chilliwack Walks and the 8 Walks in 8 Weeks Challenge is to promote health and wellness through active living. The idea originally came from the Active Communities committee, which formed in response to a 2004 initiative by the provincial government to increase physical activity levels in B.C. by 20 per cent by 2010. Every year the free walking program is supported by a partnership between the Chilliwack Family YMCA, City of Chilliwack, Active Communities, Spirit of B.C, Leisure Recreation Group, Fraser Health and the Chilliwack Times. Walking on a regular basis at a moderate pace has been shown to lower a person’s risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity and diabetes, and the mental-health benefits are important as well. “There is definitely the psychological benefit of helping manage stress better just by getting out there and doing something active,” Gieselman said. In Chilliwack, more and more people are taking advantage of those benefits, and participation in Chilliwack Walks has jumped from 350 to 524 in the last

two years. Walkers run the gamut from active seniors to young moms pushing strollers, but there’s one demographic Gieselman would like to see more of— families with young children taking on the challenge together. “I think the short route’s a nice option for them, especially when there’s things to explore,” she said. If they complete all eight walks they could also win prizes. By filling out a specially designed “passports” at each walk, anyone who finishes the entire 8 Walks in 8 Weeks Challenge becomes eligible to win memberships and passes from the Y, Parks and Recreation and the Cheam and Landing leisure centres. Because the challenge runs on an honour system, participants who miss scheduled walks can make up the routes on their own time, but scheduled walks will go ahead rain or shine, so walkers need to plan ahead in terms of weather-appropriate garb, water and sunscreen. Besides that and a decent pair of supportive shoes—no flip flops or sandals—no other equipment is needed.

◗ Would-be walkers can pick up their Chilliwack Walks passports at the Y, the Landing or Cheam Leisure Centres, the City Parks and Recreation Department or the Chilliwack Times. For more information, or to view a map and description of the eight routes, visit www.spiritofchilliwack.com.

Choosing a walking shoe and protecting your feet Finding an experienced footwear specialist pays dividends

ndividuals with osteoporosis must take great care in choosing their footwear. Poor shoe selection can impair balance, strain joints, and most importantly, predispose a person to falling. A shoe is a very personal item. Not only should it be activity specific, but the shoe must also fit a person’s foot shape, biomechanics and fashion sense. There are a lot of things to consider, so shoe fitting by an experienced footwear specialist can pay dividends. Because foot shape may be wide or narrow, many shoes come in different widths, and proper sizing, including the right length, ensures stable footing. A shoe that is too long predisposes a person to tripping and thus can be quite a hazard. The arch of the foot is also a factor to consider when buying shoes. People with a

flat arch often pronate too much and therefore benefit from a shoe with good arch support and maximum stability. Rigid feet are often high arched and benefit from shoes with more cushioning to ease the impact where the heel strikes the ground. In a recent study of more than 200 patients who suffered a fall resulting in a broken hip, the majority were not wearing adequately supportive footwear. In fact, the most common footwear types at the time of the fall were slippers, slip-ons or shoes with no laces or Velcro. Because shoes that have a thick, heavy base and a deep tread may make it difficult to walk, lightweight lace-up walking shoes that are flexible in the forefoot are often ideal. Experts recommend that the buyer chooses a model that fits very well, supports the foot and is almost effortless to walk in. The look of the shoe should be of secondary concern. At the same time, the person must feel comfortable with their choice or else those old favourites will come out of retirement and add to the risk of falls and associated injury.
