Chilliwack Search and Rescue manager is warning people to be careful around the area’s rivers after his members pulled a drowned fisherman from the Chilliwack River Wednesday. The man had been fishing near the mouth of the Chilliwack River at Chilliwack Lake when his hip waders began filling with water. As the water began to sweep him away, people closer to the shore attempted to drag the man to safety, but the current wrenched him from their grasp and down EB IRST the river. Search and Rescue First reported on members received a chilliwacktimes.com call shortly thereafter, and an intensive search was launched with the help of a helicopter. Unfortunately, about four hours after the man was last seen, his body was found under a log, still near the mouth of the river. Chilliwack Search and Rescue search manager Dan McAuliffe said the incident isn’t the first time a local fisherman has been dragged into a river by his hip waders. In this case, he said the fisherman “had on rubber hip waders which, if you don’t get out of the way, they fill up instantly and you’re gone.” He said it’s “virtually impossible” to get the waders off in the water. Some fishermen take a belt and cinch the waders up very tight at the top. That gives them an extra minute or two if something bad happens. But otherwise,

Stella Pitre helped save 11 men and women from a fire in an assisted-living residence last Sunday.

The sound she dreaded

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

t was the sound Stella Pitre had been dreading. At around 1:30 a.m. Sunday morning, a smoke alarm at the Kenswood Drive assisted-living residence where Pitre worked let out a terrifying shriek. Shortly before, Pitre— Cottonwood Cottage’s lone weekend staffer—had opened the door to a man’s first-floor room and smelled cigarette smoke. She told him he couldn’t smoke in the room, an order she says the resident regularly refused even though he also used a ventilator that fed him pure oxygen. Pitre says the management had issued

When the alarm let out its first wail, Pitre, herself 62, leapt from her bed in the home’s office. She told the 84-year-old woman in a neighbouring room to wait outside and turned towards the stairs, up which smoke was billowing. Grabbing a wet towel and

placing it over her mouth—a procedure she says she learned from T V—Pitre descended, screaming at the top of her lungs to wake the two first-floor residents. To Pitre, the fire seemed to have begun in the smoker’s bedroom, a fact later confirmed by the Chilliwack fire department, which also confirmed “smoking materials” as the fire’s cause. “I go in and I scream and scream and scream,” says Pitre in her Acadian accent. “I could not

Upfront Stolen bait car recovered after lengthy chase Chilliwack police reeled in another car thief Tuesday. Mounties were notified at about 10:30 p.m. that a bait car had been stolen from a Lickman Road parking lot. A man had driven the car off and was arrested after “a lengthy chase,” according to police. A perimeter was set up, but before officers could get into position to make an arrest, the suspect ditched the car on Menzies Street. However, with the aid of a K-9 unit, police were able to track the suspect several blocks, to a house on Carlton Street, where an arrest was made.

2001 Creys looking for sister

Lorraine Crey, sister of Dawn Crey who is missing from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, was in Chilliwack this week putting up posters. Dawn was reported missing a month ago by her doctor. Dawn would visit Lorraine every few weeks and when she didn’t show up, Lorraine knew something was wrong. Lorraine was hopeful her sister was alive. “There are no bodies,” she said. “To me, I think she might be held somewhere.”

Sanborn faces more charges

Lost in the shuffle of the three breach of trust charges laid against Sa n b o r n a f t e r t h e m u l t i - y e a r investigation into development deals at city hall while John Les was mayor have been two more criminal charges: fraud and using a forged document. Sanborn was the director of development and approving officer at the city between 1991 and 2000. Former mayor John Les was the main focus of the investigation by special prosecutor Robin McFee. In the end, McFee found there was not enough evidence to sustain charges against Les, but Sanbor n was charged with two counts of breach of trust in relation to Les’s Rosebank Place subdivison.

Grant Sanborn Sanborn was also charged with breach of trust in relation to a development on Chiliwack

Sanborn’s lawyers represented him in court for a first appearance to face these three charges on July 27.

Forest fires affecting local air quality

A ‘weed hot spot’ tour

orty people took a tour recently around “weed hot spots” in Chilliwack to see where invasive plants are taking over local natural ecosystems. With guidance from the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) and the Fraser Valley Invasive Plant Council (FVIPC) they saw how yellow flagiris creates thickets like cattails, how Japanese knotweed forms a deep and dense mat. They saw the dangerous giant hogweed, and they saw cinnabar moth larvae (a biological control agent) defoliating the toxic tansy ragwort. Things are being done about these and other invasive plant species that threaten ecosystem diversity, agricultural crops, water quality, and recreational activities in the Fraser Valley.

documents were filed that way. After leaving city hall in 2000, Sanborn went into business as a development consultant under the business name H.G. Sanborn Associates. The two further charges relate to Chilliwack farmer Butch Goertzen and an incident that first became public from the information used to obtain the search warrant for Sanborn’s business office in 2009. One charge of fraud alleges that between Sept. 26, 2006 and May 18, 2007 Sanborn defrauded his clients, the Goertzens, of $1,763. The second charge is that on or about Feb. 20, 2007 Sanborn “did use or deal with a document letter dated Oct. 24, 2006 apparently from the provincial Agricultural Land Commission as if it were genuine knowing the said document to be forged.” Sanborn has not been convicted of anything. His next court appearance is Sept. 2 to face all five charges.

n air quality advisory for Chilliwack and the rest of the Lower Mainland has been extended through Friday at least. Smoke from forest fires in the interior of the province has drifted into the Lower Mainland, prompting the warning on Wednesday. The Eastern Fraser Valley, including, Chilliwack is among the worst hit areas, according to officials. The advisory stated that the Chilliwack area has recorded elevated levels of fine soot. The original advisory sounded an optimistic note that the situation would subside on Thursday, with the arrival of rain. But on Thursday morning another advisory was issued through Friday. The Air Quality Health Index for Thursday was forecast at five, or moderate level, while Friday was forecast to see a rating of four. To reduce the impact of the poor air quality, people are advised to avoid strenuous outdoor activities and consult a doctor if they experience chest discomfort, shortness of breath or other symptoms. Infants, the elderly and those with underlying medical conditions are at particular risk. The release said conditions could improve on Saturday. “With forecasted showers and more atmospheric mixing, air quality levels are expected to improve by Saturday morning,” said the release.

Hot month breaks records

Mayor Gaetz slams Metro BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

Driest Chilliwack July in 50 years BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

f you felt a little parched last month, that’s because just 2.6 millimetres (mm) of rain fell over the entire 31 days, making it the driest July in 50 years, according to Roger Pannett, Chilliwack’s volunteer weather observer for Environment Canada. The 2.6 mm was the sixth driest July since records began being kept in 1879, and compares to the 30-year average of 46 mm for the month. The month began with typical cool, cloudy conditions and some light showers, but on July 3 a high pressure ridge over the Queen Charlotte Islands dissipated cloud cover and allowed a hot, dry air mass to press down over the Fraser Valley, according to Pannett. As a result, record-breaking temperatures were recorded July 7, 8 and 9. The maximum temperature of 34.7C on July 7 and 8 broke the previous records for the

Recent temperatures had people cooling off near bodies of water such as the Vedder River. days of 32.8C in 1920 and 33.9C in 1905 respectively. On July 9, the 33C high just edged out the 1926 high of 32.8C. There were some light showers on July 12, but after that it was dry, dry, dry and unusually so, according to Pannett. “This was in contrast to the 20 cm snowfall in Jasper on July 13 and flooding downpours and severe thunder and hail storms in Alberta,” he said. Overall this year the 775.1 mm of precipitation on 114 days compares to the average of 983 mm on 97 days. August begun hot and dry, but humidity has increased over the last few days, and the forecast for the next few days includes cloudy skies, lower temperatures and a chance of showers.

How to avoid heat-related illness: ! Drink lots of water and natural fruit juices. ! Avoid going out in the blazing sun or heat when possible. If you must go outside, stay in the shade as much as possible and plan to go out early in the morning or evening. ! Go to air-conditioned or cool places such as shopping malls or libraries. ! Keep shades or drapes drawn and blinds closed on the sunny side of your home, but keep windows slightly open. ! Wear loose-fitting, light clothing. ! Keep lights off or turned down low. ! Take a cool bath or shower periodically or cool down with cool, wet towels. ! Avoid heavy meals and using your oven. ! Avoid intense physical activity. ! Never leave a child in a parked car or asleep in direct sunlight.

ayor Sharon Gaetz has strong words for Metro Vancouver board members who approved a plan that could see a garbage incinerator built in the region. “Metro’s decision to plough forward despite fierce opposition from citizens living in the Fraser Valley is unconscionable,” she told the Times via e-mail Thursday. “They will be exporting their garbage to our residents in the form of air pollution.” Members of Metro’s sewage and drainage district voted 63-49 last Friday in favour of investigating options for a mass-burn incinerator or waste “conversion technologies,” both in and out of the region, to deal with 500,000 tonnes of waste that is now going to the Cache Creek landfill. “To say that I am disappointed in Metro’s decision to consider in-region and out of region incineration would be an understatement,” Gaetz said, but added that she was heartened the decision was far from unanimous as many Metro board members don’t support the idea of incineration. “A colleague of mine wrote to me this week stating that ‘We all have an inherent and natural right to breathe unpolluted air. We cannot choose to breathe, or not; unlike water, which, if contaminated, we can refuse to ingest.’ It is too bad that Metro didn’t employ this kind of reasoning in their unneighbourly decision,” she said. Chilliwack-Hope MLA and Environment Minister Barry Penner has the final say on Metro’s decision, and Gaetz wants residents to send letters and e-mails to Penner urging him to not approve incineration for air quality reasons.

Prince Rupert teacher biking across B.C. to get people talking about public education touched down in Chilliwack this week. Nearing the end of a 3,000kilometre bike-a-thon that started in Prince Rupert on Canada Day,Tulani Ackerman was in town Thursday, talking to people, taking down ideas and filming interviews for a potential documentary. By the time she ends her 43-day trek at the provincial legislature in Victoria Aug.12, Ackerman will have stopped in more than 35 communities to ask people what they think is working in B.C.’s school system and what isn’t. So far her voyage of discovery—which has taken her over three mountain ranges— has turned up a lot of public discontent. “What we’re really noticing across the province is the lack of trust and confidence that communities and parents have towards the education system right now,” she said in an interview with the Times.

Assault appeal denied A

man sentenced to three months in jail for punching a sheriff in the Chilliwack Law Courts will remain behind bars after a Supreme Court justice threw out his appeal last week. Last October Kenneth Olaf Martin pleaded guilty to assaulting a peace officer during a skirmish in which Martin was found to have punched a sheriff. But when he appeared for sentencing in December, Martin’s new lawyer applied to withdraw the guilty plea. The lawyer said Martin had acted in self-defence following a “verbal assault.” Upon originally entering his guilty plea, Martin had told the court “I’ve been coming to this courthouse for over four years now, sometimes a week, every week, when I first started in

family court. I’ve never had any complications in this courthouse before. “I had a personal opinion about the sheriff, not about the court, and what proceeded after that was both

In appealing the case, Martin’s lawyer said that, rather than castigating Martin, the presiding judge should have realized that he wasn’t actually admitting to the assault. That plea was denied by the provincial court judge and upheld, last week, by Supreme Court justice Mary Saunders, who found that no evidence had been added to support Martin’s claims. She also found that the original judge simply didn’t believe Martin’s subsequent assertion that he hadn’t thrown any punches. Martin was similarly rebuffed on his appeal of the three-month sentence he was handed for the assault. Saunders said: “In my view, a custodial sentence is entirely appropriate in respect of assaults on a peace officer. I cannot find that the sentence was demonstrably unfit or a marked departure from sentences imposed in generally comparable cases. If anything, from the range of authorities cited by the Crown, the sentence appears to be well within the norm.”

Pedestrians Beware Road Rules regularly writes about pedestrian safety, usually after daylight saving ends in the fall, the start of the highest risk season for pedestrians. The hope is that reminding both drivers and pedestrians to be extra watchful will be lifesaving. But pedestrian safety issues don’t vanish in the summer months, as they Cedric Hughes haven’t this summer. In early June, Lauren Rosenberg of Los Angeles commenced a law suit against Google Maps for damages she sustained when she was hit by a car while walking along a Google Map recommended route in Park City, Utah. Her ‘Google-charted’ path included a stretch of highway without sidewalks that reportedly “had cars zipping [by] at unsafe speeds.” Reports of the lawsuit apparently “prompted a pithy online discussion regarding the degree to which pedestrians are responsible for watching out for their own safety when it comes to walking along streets.” In Vancouver in early June, the report, “We’re all Pedestrians”, was released by the Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users (VANDU). Prompted by a Simon Fraser University study in 2009 identifying the Downtown Eastside as the “most dangerous location for pedestrians” and funded by the City of Vancouver, the report recommended reducing the speed limit on Hastings Street between Abbott and Jackson streets from 50 kmh to 30 kmh. Supporters of the recommendation say the area needs to be treated like a school zone. The Vancouver police, while supporting “any measures that reduce the number of collisions” also responded, “it’s more about pedestrian behaviour. Speed is not so much the contributing factor down there.”

TransLink also sounded unconvinced saying reducing the speed limit on Hastings Street would “need to be accompanied with…downgrading [it] …to a non-arterial class of road.” Frances Bula’s, “The Accident” article in the July/August 2010 issue of Vancouver Magazine tackles the whole topic Barrister & Solicitor head on. Vancouver’s culture of walkability, as she calls it, has also managed to produce the highest pedestrian fatality rate in Canada. This article marshals the statistics—38 pedestrians killed in 2006, 34 in 2008 resulting in 1.7 pedestrian fatalities per 100,000, which is more than “double Calgary’s and half again as many as Ottawa’s.” Montreal and Toronto both launched “offensives” when their absolute numbers were still less than Vancouver’s. Spain has the worst statistics in Europe with 1.5 pedestrian deaths per 100,000, the Netherlands the best at .46. Half of the motor vehicle fatalities in New York City involve pedestrians compared to 12% nationally. Ms. Bula’s article covers the difficulties inherent in trying to understand and prevent pedestrian ‘accidents,’ the likely causes of Vancouver’s dreadful statistics, the solutions that haven’t worked and the solutions that look more promising, like countdown traffic lights. It also presents the nitty-gritty physics at work when the human body collides with a high-ended vehicle as compared with a car and the effect of the speed of the vehicle. While these details are not for the faint of heart everyone should know that if they are hit by a vehicle travelling faster than 50 kmh, the result statistically, will likely be fatal.”

River drownings a lesson W

e knew it was going to happen, but we didn’t quite know when. The first drowning of the year on local waters is a near certainty as fishermen, boaters, swimmers, and water lovers of all kinds flock to Chilliwack, Cultus and Harrison lakes, and the Fraser and Vedder/Chilliwack rivers. To say the death of a fisherman on the Chilliwack River is a tragedy is to state the obvious. To say that the death was predictable is obvious too. If someone had told me last week there would be a drowning this week on the Vedder/Chilliwack River system I wouldn’t have been surprised in the least. But the fact that it was a fisherman was a little surprising only because fishermen tend to be involved in one of the least risky activities on the river. Last Sunday was hot and on the Vedder River many people were taking advantage of the cooling waters. In addition to those splashing in side pools and relaxing on the gravel bars, over a period of about an hour I witnessed at least five flotillas of teenagers or twentysomethings, beers in hand, floating down the river. I must have seen close to 100 young people in that short time enjoying the river in a way that it’s been enjoyed for decades.

PAUL J. HENDERSON

Simply A Musing Of course, not one of those people I saw were wearing a life jacket. (My wife and I have floated down that river and we didn’t wear life jackets. Although on Sunday she pointed out that she was appalled we had done this.) But water is fun. We are drawn to water, especially when it’s hot. And people young and old will always takes risks around water. Whether it’s jumping off cliffs into uncertain depths, or swimming out a little too far beyond one’s ability or charging into raging waters for a swim, having fun in the water is risky. Last August two fishermen on the Fraser River almost drowned after their boat capsized. On the same day a man nearly drowned when he fell unconscious into Cultus Lake. Earlier that same month a 19-year-old did drown at Cultus Lake, an incident that illustrated how youth often push boundaries. Then, of course, there was the 19-year-old who drowned in the beach lagoon at Harrison Hot

Springs in July of last year. In the summer of 2008, the Chilliwack River took a deadly toll as 17-year-old Sardis secondary graduate Andrea Steegstra died when she was trapped under a log after she fell in the water floating on the river. Then, just three days later, a 23-year-old woman from Victoria drowned after her guided river raft flipped near Tamihi Rapids. Not all behaviour on the water is reckless and not everyone hits the water unprepared. Last June, police were called when three young people flipped off their inner tubes on the Vedder River and two were briefly missing. After a search they were found and—amazingly to me—all three were wearing lifejackets. “They thought ahead, so we’re really happy about that,” said Chilliwack RCMP spokesperson Const. Angelina Bowen. I just hope whenever anyone dies doing something on our local river—whitewater rafting, fishing on the banks, floating down on an inner tube—that those involved in the pastime continue to do so with a little caution. Hopefully, tragic events such as the death of this fishermen give everyone some pause on and near the water as we enjoy the summer season with friends and family.

etro Vancouver’s directors voted to perhaps look at burning some of the region’s vast flow of trash, rather than burying it in leaky landfills. The arguments over this could take up numerous editorials and articles, and no doubt will over the next few months. Will waste-to-energy dump too much soot and pollutants in the Fraser Valley airshed? Are some residents going to take the brunt while others get to breathe clean air? Can the system ever be made truly clean? Whatever the case, the current system couldn’t continue. Burying garbage and hoping it goes away shows that as a society, we’re no better than a six-year-old hiding brussels sprouts under the table to avoid eating them. As everyone from the Metro Vancouver directors to Premier Gordon Campbell have said, we need to stop creating so much garbage, period. Recycling, we’re getting pretty good at (although we could improve), but reducing is where we need to make great strides. This is where everyone from the average citizen to the federal and provincial governments need to work collectively. We need to reduce packaging, bags, boxes, and foam peanuts. We need to stop tossing out millions of cardboard coffee cups, paper napkins and burger boxes. We need old solutions and new ones to slash the amount of junk we throw out after preparing a meal with supermarket ingredients. And what we can’t eliminate, we need to recycle in an expanded blue box system. Citizens are going to have to pull up their socks and take part, but governments will also have to show some real backbone. They’ll probably have to put some serious money into this, and they’ll have to face down the many, many corporations who won’t want to change.

Should have elected Gord as mayor

Editor: I am fed up with Chilliwack city council’s misuse of tax dollars to bail out certain business people in order to make work projects for ex-mayor John Jansen, who is the president of CEPCO. CEPCO is funded by City of Chilliwack tax dollars at an ongoing cost of $750,000 a year. Now the city is buying the Empress Hotel, which is in my view an illegal act of manipulative use of tax dollars, to bail out three real estate flippers who could not sell the Empress Hotel after buying it and stripping it of its liquor licences. The hotel will more than likely be transferred over to ex-mayor and president of CEPCO, our city-subsidized corporation, so Jansen and company can keep earning a living indirectly from taxpayer dollars, which he has been doing for over 35 years I am already angry about my $600 land tax increase this year to put up a new arts theatre for another exmayor, Clint Hames, to be an actor in. Now I know the people thought present Mayor Sharon Gaetz was going to do the right thing and clean up city business dealings but I guess she has become a puppet of the old boys club and the continued misuse of Chilliwack tax dollars will carry on until I get elected one day. If I were elected as mayor, the first time I ran in 1987, this city would have been a lot more reasonable to live in and the land dealings would have benefitted the long-time owners not just the flippers. Gord Currie Chilliwack

A Party in the Park thank-you Editor: On Friday evening (July 30), my wife and I went to the Party in the Park. We had only been there a short time when my wife tripped and fell over. I would like to thank all who assisted her. She was attended by a trained first responder, who arranged for an ambulance to come. Many people from the Party in the Park

I don’t know the names of those who helped, but they know who they are and they have my heartfelt thanks. The ambulance crew were prompt and very helpful, not only where she lay, but later at the ambulance. There was a very heartwarming action by a four- or five-year-old girl, who gave my wife a blue balloon animal as she was being attended to. The girl told me that she wanted my wife to have it because she already had one. Thankfully, my wife was not badly hurt, just a few bruises and her dignity, and I was able to take her home from the park. Thank you to everyone who helped, and to the little girl a special thank you. Murray Stewart Chilliwack

Wildlife belongs at Cultus Lake Editor: I was appalled to come across a Chilliwack Times article about the “problem” of Canadian Geese at Cultus Lake, with Sacha Peter citing culling as a solution. It disgusts me that there are people in my community that think it is reasonable to kill any animal that causes them an inconvenience. What makes anyone think that they have the right to decide what wildlife can make its home in a provincial park? Every goose that lives at that lake has as much of a right to be there as the area’s human residents. Tons of noisy, disrespectful tourists flock there every summer leaving all kinds of garbage behind, but we don’t discuss such unethical, self-righteous,

and unreasonable measures for “park beautification” purposes when it comes to our own species. We have already forced the geese out of other locations in Chilliwack by constructing residences where there were once cornfields and other undeveloped habitats. Cultus Lake is one of the only suitable places they have left around here—is it not enough to kick them out of human residential areas, we have to kick them out of their own natural habitat too? If there are people who don’t enjoy nature and all that entails, perhaps they should consider living or visiting somewhere else. Cultus Lake is and always has been home to all sorts of different animals, geese included. We share this planet, this province, and this lake with countless species that deserve to be here just as much as you and I do. Instead of complaining, let’s put on our shoes and enjoy the area—beautiful and wild, just the way it’s meant to be. K. Phelps Chilliwack

Humans are the problem Editor: In regards to your Aug. 3 article Poopy problem at Cultus: I grew up at Cultus Lake. I don’t recall as a child and young adult a problem with geese. The only water fowl were coots and the occasional loon. Geese love grass—the more you plant the more they eat and they will raise their young where water and food are plentiful. Now that the shoreline, et

cetera, are lined with green, it’s a welcome mat. Back then it was rocks, gravel and sand. We managed very well, thank you. It’s not the creatures’ faults, it’s human intervention— but of course it’s never the human element that’s to blame, is it? F. Meyers via e-mail

Incinerator is unthinkable Editor: My visitors from Virginia and North Carolina are amazed at our glorious landscape and wonderful weather. This is in contrast to the great humidity which prevails on the east coast during this time of year in addition to a degree of polution. The very thought of adding a mass-burn incinerator to our region to elevate the already poor air quality prevailing at the moment in the Fraser Valley is totally unthinkable. If the prevailing winds could be permanently directed toward Metro Vancouver the incinerator would be a moot question. The question of whether to build now goes to the environment minister, Barry Penner. The FVRD was unanimous in its opposition to incineration and Fraser Valley residents echo that opposition. I would think that this issue should be a nobrainer for our MLA, Barry Penner. Solms Coutinho Chilliwack

The HST saves me money Editor: I would like to respond to Doug Kerr regarding the HST. The HST has saved me hundreds of dollars in just one month. I signed a petition against the HST along with well over 10 per cent of the population as Mr. Gordon Campbell stated was a must. On July 1, the legislature closed until September. How convenient was that? Mr. Campbell is no dummy. July 1 the HST was imple-

mented and everyone will settle into accepting it when Mr. Campbell comes back in September. Now here is how Mr. Campbell has saved me hundreds of dollars: First, since the HST came in, I have not brought a single coffee at Tim Hortons, Starbucks or anywhere else. I have not entered any restaurants either. Next, I decided to try the U.S. for anything containing sugar or anything else that the HST might have dinged me for. Since I was in Bellingham anyway, I might as well buy gas. Buying a tank of gas for my little Toyota saved me more than $20. Going into Costco for any foods or items that would cost me HST in Canada saved me another 12 per cent, which came to over $10 the first time. And another thing, a case of 24 pop is only $5 if you watch for it. No five cents on the can and no environmental fee of three cents either and no tax. Are you getting the point yet? Here is another way I saved money: I phoned up my telephone supply and stated that I was cancelling my plan because I was an anti-HST advocate. By the time the phone company was done with me I am now saving over 12 dollars a month on my cell and a few more off my home phone. I decided to cancel my cable and Internet because I figured I could live without that as well so on the phone again. After explaining that I was an anti-HST advocate by the time they were done with me I still had the same plan but my bill was now a great amount less for the next year. So you see Mr. Kerr, Mr. Campbell has taught me how to save money. I will not buy anything that I don’t need until either the tax is dropped or until I move to Alberta. Mr. Campbell is not going to get my money. So, Mr. Kerr, I thank you for your information that you had as well. Maybe, if more B.C. people stuck to their convictions, Mr. Campbell would have to start listening to the people. H. Warner Chilliwack

Faith Today

A spiritual checkup can help you reveal the truth BY RON VAN AKKER Central Community Church

had an interesting conversation with a friend earlier today. In the course of our dialogue he informed me that he had gone to a blood analysis specialist. While that isn’t all that spectacular in and of itself, I was amazed to hear that she was able, from two small samples of blood the size of a pin prick, to relay to my friend a number of maladies that he was suffering. These included kidney stones, problems with his ears, and an arm that regularly falls asleep for no apparent reason. My first response was to scoff and laugh at this news until my

friend informed me that he indeed had all these illnesses and hadn’t informed the specialist of any of them. I don’t know why my initial response was one of skepticism. It just was. In thinking about this since my conversation, I really shouldn’t have been surprised at all. We have all manner of specialists who, in their field, are able to enlighten us to the challenges we face. Just last week I went to the medical clinic to have my annual blood test that will tell my doctor the inside story of how my body is working. I fully anticipate that the analysis will reveal the full measure of my physical health. The more I thought about it, the

more I found myself even more sheepish at my initial attitude of doubt. At the core of my life is a belief that not only do I need regular physical analysis to ensure my body is working at an optimal level, I also require spiritual analysis too. Just as I turn to a medical professional to understand the inner workings of my body, I turn to a spiritual professional to discover the true nature of my soul . . . I turn to God. God in his Word, the Bible, offers a full and accurate spiritual diagnosis. In it I discover the truth that “the heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure,” (Jeremiah 17:9). It diagnoses the truth about my true spiritual condition

when it proclaims, “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” (Romans 3:23). It reveals that at the core of all human maladies is the fact that we all have “exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator,” (Romans 1:25). In essence, the analysis of the human spiritual condition is rather bleak. One thing I’ve discovered in my contemplation about this analysis is that God is not only the revealer of our weakness, and illness, he is the great physician who offers treatment guaranteed to heal the human soul. Not only does he describe the truth about our

human condition, he prescribes the cure. While Romans 3:23 describes our spiritual shortcomings, the very next verse proclaims the cure stating that we “are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” Simply put, it relays the truth that God provides the remedy to human ills. The simple prescription to reverse the effects of sin is to believe in Jesus. When we do so God proclaims, “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved,“ Romans 10:13.

Chillex weekend an ag affair

Also lots of music, art and fun for the whole family

he Chilliwack Exhibition kicked off today beginning three days of farm life and fun. From crafts to 4-H to rodeo to the midway, the fair is a good time for the whole family. But some young local agriculturalists do take the exhibition quite seriously, and after a successful fair last week in Abbotsford, some local 4-H’ers will look for more success even closer to home. Members of the Agassiz Rainbow 4-H Swine Club travelled to Abbotsford for the 100th Abbotsford Agrifair, July 29 to Aug. 2, and came away with most of the ribbons, according to organizers. Paige Cote won the reserve championships in the senior showmanship, market hog and carcass hog classes while her clubmate Daniel Charlton reigned supreme in both junior showmanship and the carcass hog class. Savannah Blank rounded out the winners by being named the reserve junior champion showman. In the 4-H dairy show, the largest of all the 4-H shows at Agrifair, Richelle Hylkema of the Chilliwack Holstein club was named the reserve champion intermediate showman. Chilliwack amateur photographer Eb Mueller earned two ribbons in the hotly contested photography competition, earning the top awards for both theme and set of four in the advanced adult category.

Local band Teapot Hill (left) was scheduled to hit the Tractorgrease/89.5 The Hawk stage at 3 p.m. on Friday as part of a weekend of music at the Chilliwack Exhibition. But arguably the highlight of the fair, the apple pie contest, is set for 11 a.m. Saturday.

At the Mighty Fraser Pro Rodeo, despite loud cheers from local fans, Chilliwack’s Kaila Mussell, North America’s only professional female saddle bronc rider, was unable to complete her ride on King of Diamonds during Sunday’s performance.

Many of these successful 4-H’ers and others will have their animals on display at this weekend’s Chilliwack Exibition so head on down to Heritage Park Friday, Saturday and Sunday. ! Check out www.chilliwackexhibition.com for a full schedule of this weekend’s events at Chilliwack’s Heritage Park.

West Nile Virus tire round-up on Saturday

Party in the Park a runaway success

All types accepted

Paul J. Henderson/TIMES

This year’s Party in the Park at Central Community Park every Friday night has been a huge success with music, including the Lounge Hounds (above), a market, lots of food, and fun and games for the kids.

he West Nile Virus is a hot topic in the summer months as mosquitoes breed in parks, forests and backyards—wherever there is standing water. Unused tires can collect water and turn into a mosquito’s ideal breeding ground so the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) has teamed with Tire Stewardship BC (TSBC) to host a tire round-up in Chilliwack this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 44390 Luckakuck Way. Residents will have a chance to get rid of their old tires and have them recycled for free thanks to the joint initiative. The FVRD is promoting the round-up as a West Nile preventive measure, developed as part of a comprehensive provincial strategy by the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC). The “Tire Round-Up” is one of many taking place throughout the province in an effort to promote British Columbia’s tire recycling program and raise awareness for the province’s recycled rubber products. Unlimited passenger, light truck and medium truck tires will be accepted. All tires should be clean and medium truck tires should be off-rim.

One step closer to Olympic dream Local kayak star in Singapore for the Youth Olympics BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

hilliwack kayak star Jazmyne Denhollander will take a giant step closer to her Olympic dreams next week when she flies to Singapore to take part in the Youth Olympic Games. Denhollander, 15, will compete in the canoe/kayak slalom in the inaugural Youth Olympics, which are run by the same International Olympic Committee that organizes the Summer and Winter Games. For a young kayaker with Olympic dreams, competing in the shadows of the five rings is a huge paddlestroke forward. Denhollander flew to Singapore on Aug. 3 to be in the city for the start of the two-week event. “I’m very excited. It’s such a great opportunity,” Denhollander told the Times. “It’s the Olympics. It’s made by the Olympic Committtee and it’s a real big event.” More than 3,000 athletes will take part in the Youth Olympics, which will become an

not the rushing white water with which the national junior slalom champ is familiar. “It will be a whole new racing theme for me, and I will be competing in a sprint boat, so that’s a whole different category of kaya-

king for me,” she said. “I’m hoping to do reasonably well.” Denhollander says flatwater kayaking is physically demanding and a little less technical. “You’re just pulling hard on a lake so you don’t have any water to help you go through a gate.” Denhollander has been practicing on flatwater while also training for a pair of big events this past month. Last weekend she won the Junior K1 women’s slalom title and finished sixth in the senior event at the 2010 Canoe Slalom Championships in Minden, Ont. (Chilliwack’s David Ford retained his senior men’s slalom crown, his 16th such title.) And in June, Denhollander claimed 15th place at the Junior World Championships in Foix, France. While she is well travelled, this will be the young paddler’s first trip to Asia. “That will be a whole new experience,” she said. Combine that with the number of athletes and the variety of sports being competed in, and Denhollander is looking forward to the entire experience. “The whole social [aspect] of it will be really awesome, just to learn about other athletes’ stories.” With a little luck and a whole lot of skill, the upcoming games will mark the start of Denhollander’s Olympic career. “It’s a great opportunity to really feel the Olympic feel and attend an Olympic-sized event.”

Sports Track and field results Chilliwack athletes put in strong results last weekend at the B.C. Junior Development Provincial Championships in Kamloops. Multi-sport phenom Rowan Hamilton, 10, claimed gold in the javelin throw and silver in the 100-metre spring, 60-metre hurdles, long jump and shot put. He also claimed third place in the 800 metres and high jump, and added a fourthplace finish in the 60-metre dash. Tasha Willing, 12, added two golds of her own, winning the shot put and discus throw. Willing also finished second in the hammer throw and fifth in the javelin throw. Magnus Wolff, 10, picked up a bronze in the discus throw and finished in the top-six in the 60 metres, 100 metres, 60-metre hurdles, and javelin throw. Other Chilliwack athletes added their own impressive

Jock scraps results. Brayden Ricard, 13, finished fourth in the 80metre hurdles. Zach Muir, 9, claimed fourth place in the 800 metres and 1,500 metres. And Megan Muir, 12, added sixth-place finishes in the 800 metres and 1,500 metres. Cougars are champs The Chilliwack Bantam AA Cougars claimed the 2010 provincial championship at home with a 9-3 victory over a fearsome squad from Victoria last weekend. The Cougars started slowly in the round-robin portion of the tournament, squeaking out a 5-3 win over Burnaby and then losing to the Vancouver Rays 4-1. With the bats mostly silent and the

results coming in from other games, it looked like Chilliwack might have played itself out of the tournament it was hosting. But on day two of the tournament, needing a win against a Cloverdale Spurs team that already had two wins, the Cougars’ bats came through. Chilliwack scored six runs in the top of the first inning and continued to pile up the score, eventually winning 23-5. The following day, Chilliwack lost to Victoria 8-7, and was again in danger of going out. But an 11-0 win by Burnaby over Cloverdale sent Chilliwack to the semi-finals to face Prince George. Facing the top pitcher in the province, the Cougars ground out hits and got an inside-the-park three-run home run by Derek Riediger to propel them to a 12-6 victory and a rematch in the finals against Victoria. Adam Burchart got the Cougars on the board early

with a fielder’s choice RBI and Riediger scored on a wild pitch to set the tone. Blake Peeling pitched four innings of one-run ball as Chilliwack’s offence continued to widen the gap. After Peeling exhausted his pitch count in the fifth inning, leaving the Cougars with no pitchers, Burchart stepped on the mound and got Victoria to fly out with the bases loaded with help from fielder Matt Lamb. Chilliwack added three more runs in the sixth inning to claim a 9-2 lead heading into the final inning. There, Burchart, who was named the game’s MVP, got two quick outs before a high throw gave Victoria life. But with runners on first and second, Josh Ens knocked down a scorcher to third and stepped on his bag to seal the victory, and the tournament, for the home team. The Cougars will now represent British Columbia

at the Western Canadian Championships in Newton, B.C., from Aug. 12 to 15. Mosquito Cougars falter The Chilliwack Y2K Mosquito A Cougars went 2-2 at the provincial championships in North Delta, failing to advance to the semi-finals. Facing Victoria in their first game, the Cougars fell behind 6-2 before waking up and mounting a late but valiant comeback attempt. Levi Moorman and Jesse Howden combined for three shutout innings on the hill before Dylan Ohlsen drove in a pair of runs and then scored himself. But the Cougars were unable to complete the rally, eventually losing a heartbreaker 7-6. Later in the day, facing Rutland, the Chilliwack bats came alive, led by Alden Leiper, who went three-forthree, and Liam Scherbey and Dylan Merritt who each had two hits. After

five innings, the 13-3 score caused the mercy rule to be invoked. The Cats jumped all over the Cloverdale Spurs the following day, scoring six runs in the first two innings. After a three-run Cloverdale home run, a sensational Ohlsen double play ended the rally. Mike Fitzsimmons punctuated 10 more Chilliwack runs with two doubles, two RBIs and two runs in the final two innings. Dylan Merritt went three-for-three at the dish and struck out four to close out the win, Cloverdale’s only loss in pool play. Needing a victory against Ladner to advance from their competitive pool, Chilliwack struggled on the mound, allowing eight runs in three innings. Although the Cougars allowed no futher damage, the five hits and four runs they racked up in the final three frames wasn’t enough, as Chilliwack fell 8-5 to Ladner.

Peaches don’t get sweeter after they are picked W

hat is your favourite seasonal fruit purchase? For many, it is peaches. Believed to have originated in China over 4,000 years ago, peaches now make up a large portion of the fresh fruit crop sales in British Columbia. Similar to many tree fruits, peaches will ripen after they have been picked, however they will not get any sweeter. The sweetness level will be determined by whether the peaches were allowed to grow to maturity on the tree. Although maturity and ripeness may sound the same, a mature fruit is described as one that has grown to a degree that allows it to ripen. The ripeness of fruit focuses more on the texture appeal. Maximum sweetness levels will develop on the tree, while the juiciness and softness will continue to evolve after they have been harvested.

CHEF DEZ

On Cooking Peaches obviously offer their best quality to our awaiting appetites when they are consumed fresh, however they can easily be canned or frozen to help extend the season into the winter months. Basically there are two distinct qualities of the many varieties of peaches that are currently cultivated: clingstone and freestone. One may assume that the definitions of these two categories are obviously defining the level of ease in the removal of the stone. Although this is true, it goes beyond this first

assumption. Clingstone peaches also offer a firmer flesh that is preferable for canning, as they tend to hold their shape better. The flesh in freestone peaches is more delicate and should be reserved for eating fresh. These two classifications also hold true for plums. If you purchase peaches that are firm, leaving them at room temperature for a few days will allow them to soften. Otherwise they should be stored in the crisper of the refrigerator to ensure the maximum lifespan of their edibility. The use of peaches in desserts is an obvious expectation; however there are other methods to capture their mouthwatering enticement. The first idea that comes to mind is a peach salsa. Mix small chopped pieces with some complimenting flavours and colours such as red pepper, purple onion, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, and of

course some crushed garlic. Season it with salt, pepper, and a bit of sugar. You will have an incredible summer condiment to compliment grilled specialties from your barbeque, such as chicken breast or salmon. Luckily, summertime allows us the opportunity to enjoy the complete natural freshness of this fragrant fuzzy fruit. Try saying that three times fast. Dear Chef Dez: What is the best way to peel peaches? I love peach desserts, however, always find it hard to get the skin off successfully without totally destroying the look of the peach slices. Tony R. Langley Dear Tony: I find that the best way to remove the skin from peaches is

to blanch them briefly in boiling water. Score an “X” on the bottom of the peaches with a knife, and submerse them in boiling water for approximately 30 to 60 seconds. Immediately plunge them into ice water to halt the cooking process. After they have cooled, the skins can be easily removed with your fingers or the edge of a knife. Keep in mind, that if the peeled peaches are exposed to the air for a period of time, they will start to oxidize (turn brown). A quick coating of lemon juice will help to prevent this. !

UFV hosts free science camp for aboriginal girls W

e’ve all done it. You hear the word “scientist” and automatically picture a geeky-looking guy in a lab coat. It’s a typical stereotype. The University of the Fraser Valley (UFV ) aims to break down those stereotypes, especially in the sciences, by proactively e n c o u ra g i n g w o m e n t o study or pursue research in disciplines like science, computing and engineering. T h i s s u m m e r, U F V i s hosting its first-ever Science Rocks! summer camp specifically for aboriginal girls. Science Rocks! is a highly popular camp that UFV organizes each summer for school-aged children. The camps fill up quickly and UFV has hosted five so far this summer. The camp for aboriginal girls takes place in Chilliwack Aug. 11 to 13, and is free of charge for girls aged from eight to 13. “It was always part of our long-term plan for Science

Rocks! to reach out to community groups that are historically under-represented in the science areas,” explains UFV acting dean of science Ora Steyn. “It is very evident that we need to encourage more aboriginal girls to explore the sciences.” Three years ago, UFV introduced the Cuter Computer contest for teenage girls, with the goal of encouraging young women to study computer sciences. Cuter Computer was funded by the Jade Project, a federal program that is also partially funding the Science Rocks! camp for Aboriginal girls. “While Cuter Computer was extremely successful in attracting girls into our computer science programs, we still need to encourage women into all the other sciences,” Steyn adds. This particular Science Rocks! camp will run from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily, and participants will explore math, computers, biology,

r. Eric Davis has been named as the new provost and vice-president academic at the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV ). As vice-president academic, Davis will serve as the senior UFV officer responsible for academic leadership. As provost, Davis assumes responsibility for institutional planning and operational co-ordination. Davis has been acting in the position for the past year and will now take it on for a fiveyear term. President and vice-chancellor Dr. Mark Evered made the announcement to the university community fol-

lowing a lengthy search that culminated in three candidates visiting campus and presenting their views to faculty and staff. The search committee that made the final recommendation to the UFV board of governors was comprised of 13 faculty, staff, student, senate, alumni, administration and board members. Originally from Montreal, Davis holds BA and MA degrees from Concordia University, and a PhD from the University of Sussex (England). He has held academic positions at Memorial University, McGill University, and Concordia.

of science. Lunch is included each day. “We have selected some camp leaders who are perfect role models for the girls,” Steyn adds. “This will

Art with needles, ink and plaster Tattoo artist brings graphic design to her client’s skin BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

eborah Connelly at Unicus Tattoo, Life Casting and Design has inked her share of cutesy tattoos, but there’s also a serious side to her work. Like the client who came in to have the date of her liver transplant permanently marked on her skin with the words “Where my book begins. The rest remains unwritten” or the series of lilies—a bud, a half-opened flower and a full bloom—she inked onto the skin of a new mom who had recently carried her first child to term after multiple miscarriages. “A lot of it is that type of stuff,” said Connelly of her work. “I think it’s just the commitment because it’s forever. There’s no stronger statement.” Connelly can relate to the impulse to get a commitment down on skin permanently. She got her first tattoo in 1994. A single mom working as a bartender at the time, she had just finished taking two self-empowerment seminars that inspired her to go back to school for a fine arts diploma. “I felt stuck,” she said. “I was freshly divorced, working in a pub, single mom and didn’t want to be the stereotype.” To remind herself of that turning point, she got a wristband tattoo. For Connelly, the next five years in Kwantlen College’s fine arts program were a rebirth.

“There’s no real feeling of tattoo culture in my studio. There’s no skulls; there’s no rock and roll.” Deborah Connelly

Cornelia Naylor/TIMES

Tattoo artist Deborah Connelly of Unicus Tattoo, Life Casting & Design inks a client’s hockey nickname onto his calf. It wasn’t until 2007, when she was done art school and working as a print designer, that she went back for her second tattoo. This time, though, she was ready to go all out. Over the course of one whole summer, she spent 20 hours under the needle getting a full sleeve. It’s an eclectic design that started on her shoulder with a geisha and ended up incorporating koi fish, kanji symbols and bits of renaissance art including an image of

St. Sebastian pierced with arrows on her forearm and a pieta on her inner upper arm. “I’ve thrown everything in there that I like with no rhyme or reason but it looks really good,” she said. By the end of the process, at the age of 41, Connelly had found her destiny—tattoo art. “It was like a light went on,” she said. “This is what I’m supposed to be doing.” In body art, Connelly found a perfect blend of fine art and gra-

phic design, skills she had been honing at school and work for more than a decade. Since working in the business, she has also found room for listening skills she developed for years as a bartender since people tend to open up when they’re getting a tattoo. Connelly wasted no time getting started in her new vocation, traveling to New York City for intensive training with an artist there. She set up shop two years ago in

a studio off her vintage 1937 home on Vedder Road. As a female tattoo artist with a background in the fine arts, Connelly doesn’t mind dismantling the stereotypes associated with body art. About 90 per cent of her clients are women—something she attributes to her welcoming studio decorated with antique-y furniture, drawings, paintings and body casts. “There is no real feeling of tattoo culture in my studio,” said Connelly. “There’s no skulls; there’s no rock and roll.” It’s not usual for her to have grandmothers coming in for their See TATTOO, page 26

“I never wanted to weigh 280 lbs”

Showtime MUSIC SUNSET EASY LISTENING

Rose has lost 100 pounds

“I never wanted to weigh 280 lbs but I had no idea what I kept doing wrong to get myself to that sad point. I had been through a few different weight loss programs but with only temporary success so in complete despair I went to my doctor’s office to ask for help, and he said that I should go to SureSlim. Having run out of options I went, and signed up knowing that there was nothing else that could help me and hoped through all of the doubt that this program would be the answer. Now I have lost 100 lbs in a little less than one year with only 20 lbs left to go. I think that this surprises me more than it does anyone else. For the first time in my life I am confident that I can permanently succeed in losing all of the weight I need to lose, and to keep that weight from ever coming back. SureSlim has given me the tools to succeed by teaching me which foods work for my body and which ones don’t. I am eating real food from the grocery store that I have learned to prepare in a different way than I used to. It’s not magic and it’s not always easy but it is possible, and I am grateful to SureSlim for teaching me this important life changing approach to healthy eating and weight management.”

he youth and young adults of City Life Church (formerly Glad Tidings Fellowship) in Chilliwack have formed a new group called WACKd. These young people love living in Chilliwack (affectionately known as “The Wack”) and want to “whack away” at the wrong idea that young people can’t make a profound and significant difference in their city. Thus, WACKd was created. Through their “giftings,” skills and resources, the goal of WACKd is to work hard to create a positive youth culture that others can connect with and belong to and reverse the negative

reputation and stereotypes surrounding youth culture today. Next week, WACKd hosts its premiere events and invites all youth and young adults in the area to come join us. First up from Aug. 9 to 11 from 7 to 9 p.m. at Central Community Park downtown, some amazing local, young adult hip-hop artists will host three evenings of open-to-all youth/young adult dance clinics. All levels of skill are welcome. Bring water, good footwear and a

Alfie isn’t quite who you think

TATTOO, from page 22

Zappacosta more than that hit song from Dirty Dancing

e’s a lot of things to a lot of people— rock to some, smooth to others, adult contemporary to many. Alfie Zappacosta is established enough that he’s just Alfie—a talent beyond any genre tag. He has long been considered one of the best vocal talents in Canada, yet we know very little about Zappacosta and his music. Many know his chart-topping singles, Nothing Can Stand in Your Way, Passion, When I Fall in Love Again, We Should Be Lovers, and the fact that he has two Junos and an American Music Award for his contribution of Overload to the Dirty Dancing Soundtrack, but how much do you really know about the artist himself? Alfie Zappacosta has a distinguished career and still today, he continues to write compelling lyrics and melody. Zappacosta is a songwriter. He is also an accomplished guitarist, premier vocalist and actor. In 1995, Zappacosta left his pop stardom behind to pursue a more intimate style of writing and performing. The roots of his new sound started when Zappacosta began playing solo before crowds at a Toronto club. Playing only guitar, he explored new harmonies and melodies, later combining rootsy elements such as harmonica and accordion, which eventually manifested itself in a contemporary jazz/AC sound.

An appreciation of the human body Adult contemporary singer Alfie Zappacosta brings his smooth suonds to Bozzini’s “The difficult part was finding an audience that was willing to sit and listen to my songs,” says Zappacosta. “I had to believe that a legitimate artist was allowed to grow and could be appreciated and accepted for producing music that was heartfelt and not what the industry felt was appropriate for the times. “The older I got, the more uncomfortable I became. There were always elements of what is on the current project in my music. I wanted to get back into a form of music that I knew I was not only capable of doing but also a style of music that would

fulfill me both artistically and spiritually. I realized that chasing down fads is really a losing proposition.” His passion for beautiful melodies and grand songs manifested into four CDs: Innocence Ballet, Dark Sided Jewel, Start Again and his brand new CD, Bonafide. ! Bozzini’s presents for the first time, Alfie Zappacosta with his trio on Wednesday Aug 11 for an ultra-intimate performance in the Upstairs Lounge. Doors 6 p.m., show 8p.m. Tickets are $20 at Bozzini’s or call 604-7920744.

Whether using needles and ink or plaster, Connelly says her work today is inspired by a lifelong appreciation of the human body in all its manifestions. “It doesn’t matter what size and shape they are,” she said. “I just always thought the human form was beautiful.”

Tim Stephens' Astral Reﬂections Aries March 21 - April 19: The main accent falls on romance, creative urges, speculative risks, charming children, beauty and pleasure. You’re on a winning streak, especially Sunday night to Tuesday, so enjoy, take advantage! Chase money, earnings, new clients and shopping bargains Tuesday eve, Wednesday. (But take care Thursday: don’t buy technology.) Relationships face some upheaval, disagreement Monday (when a deep rift is possible) and Thursday, but exciting agreement, attraction Friday/Saturday. You still face a “long climb” in partnerships, opportunities, relocation, but a potentially successful one!

Cancer June 21-July 22: Chase money, especially Sunday eve to Tuesday. You can meet great luck, opportunity, these few days, and a problem. The predicament concerns your home and relationships; don’t let it go underground. (It might resurface Thursday.) The rest of this week is smooth, easy, a respite from problems. Your home atmosphere is sweet and sour – temper and affection mingle. This might occur because you feel secure, yet your ambitions seem thwarted. To succeed, be ambitious about security, real estate, food, cafes or similar arenas. (However, stop short of starting any brand new projects.)

Taurus April 20-May 20: Seek quiet, rest, cool shade. Your home, family, roots, security, nutrition, gardening, property, soul – these offer good luck all week, especially Sunday eve to Tuesday. However, these three days might also bring a split between you and another – unspoken, perhaps, but sensed. This probably involves work, employment and a legal, ethical or travel situation. (A wee echo of this Thursday, also.) Your creative, romantic side surfaces mid-week – all’s ﬁne here, though you might experience little more than a “sweet notion.” Tackle chores – safely Thursday, wholeheartedly Friday/Saturday.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The problems of the last two weeks ebb now. However, two remain: the lesser involves communications/travel and health/work (mostly Monday). E.g., your car breaks down so you miss work. The larger dilemma (all week) also involves communication/travel, but “pulls in” legal, educational, publishing or international factors.You’ll have to decide between facts and ideas, casual communications or profound issues, near/small or far/large. For instance, do you make a verbal agreement or sign a contract? Love or acquaintanceship? You shine Sunday night to Tuesday! Chase money mid-week.

Gemini May 21-June 20: Read, write, travel, call, connect with siblings – luck here Sunday/Monday! The last two weeks brought some confrontations, splits, or problems – or simply a deﬁnite change in direction. That’s largely over, but a subtle alienation from a loved one (or in a new romance) could occur early this week – and a not-so subtle rift Thursday. Best idea: if you want to chase romance, wait until at least Thursday 9 p.m. (PDT) onward. The entire two years ahead demand slowness, steadiness and loyalty from you, if you wish to succeed in love. A big age difference is possible. Rest, mid-week.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Finish, advance ongoing projects. Refrain from starting anything new. A slowdown starts next week, lasting to Sept. 12. Sunday/ Monday could solidify a source of income, and/or bring a durable set of ideas, a practical “life philosophy” that helps you go forward steadily. Instability also lurks, if you allow pleasure or romantic notions to steer you away from duties or practical goals. Contemplate the different paths of earnings versus investments. You might make a choice between these now to mid2011. Rest, contemplate to Tuesday. Money’s good Friday/Saturday. A good week!

Consultant Lorne Davidson, P. Eng. Civic Consultants (604) 526-2615

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Wishes can come true! Popularity, optimism, social delights, ﬂirtations visit you! (They did the last two weeks, too, but might have been obscured by other problems.) Your sexual and romantic magnetism rise another notch. This mingles with a curious prudence on your part. Net result: you might have to decide whether to continue charming someone or to subtly retreat, around Monday. Similarly, you might, over the nine days ahead, face the difference between someone else’s friendliness and your own caution. There’s no harm (and much luck) in joining, bonding. Rest mid-week. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Be ambitious, especially Sunday to Tuesday – but start no new projects. Work to complete, to give ongoing projects a new heave, to mend “prestige fences” with valuable people. Be light, humorous – the problems of the past few weeks are fading. But don’t expect co-operation: others wish you well, especially mid-week, but they won’t further your cause. Avoid gossip (and being its victim) Monday. Think about a long-term trend (now to mid-2011): your hands-on work is expanding, but your management duties are growing heavier. Which to favour? The hands-on. Rest, Friday. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Your natural August mood – mellow, broad-minded, yearning for travel or culture – returns nicely, especially Sunday eve to Tuesday. An opportunity could arise to travel afar, attend a college (etc.) or disseminate your ideas – seize it! But be aware of one problem (now to mid-2011): it involves a choice between (or inability to merge) your future goals, your cherished wishes, your social life on the one hand, and your creative, speculative, pleasure or romantic urges on the other. E.g., should you choose friends or romance? Save for your future, or just have fun? You’ll be happy Friday/ Saturday!

Consultant Lorne Davidson, P. Eng. Civic Consultants (604) 526-2615

August 8 - 14 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Mysteries abound, especially Sunday to Tuesday – find out why recent career and domestic events or pressures occurred. The answer could be lucrative! Taking a forward stance, step, could give your ambitions a boost, Tuesday or Thursday eve to Saturday. A congenial, powerful female might play a favourable role. (There is also a temperamental, probably male, higher-up, who still needs a diplomatic approach.) Caution was a good idea the last two weeks, but too much now can impede you. Mid-week’s mellow, loving. All week, examine “big finances” – but complete, don’t start. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Relationships assume prime importance, especially Sunday eve to Tuesday (when a new link might form). You can fight or cooperate; realize that the other person/side holds the aces, the power. In legal, intellectual, international, far travel, educational and cultural zones, your secrets (or some other thing which you’d rather remain hidden: desires, fears, etc.) can be your weak spot, particularly Tuesday and Thursday. The cure for this (and many things!) is honesty. You will face the need soon to choose between a profound and a more casual relationship. The casual’s luckier. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Much work awaits – plunge in and get it done, especially Sunday eve to Tuesday. You might be very hopeful about an investment or monetary action, but study underlying trends and forces before you leap – for instance, does the economic climate of your nation or locale flow in the same direction as your idea? Maybe. In the semi-big picture (now to mid-2011) chasing earnings is luckier than relying on investments or other people’s money. Anyway, serious decisions called for.
