Les investigation cost us $172,000
SCHOOLS GETTING READY FOR FIRST DAY BACK
Sanborn agrees to arraignment hearing on Oct. 1 BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com
T
he cost of the investigation into former mayor John Les, senior city bureaucrat Grant Sanborn and land development deals at Chilliwack city hall was $172,643.41, according to the criminal justice branch of the B.C. attorney general. The total for the legal bill paid by the B.C. government to special prosecutor Robin McFee was released through a Freedom of Information request made by the Globe and Mail. Criminal justice branch spokesperson Neil MacKenzie did not provide a breakdown for the costs, which were
for McFee’s fees and expenses. As part of McFee’s investigation of city hall, the Vancouver lawyer examined “voluminous” amounts of evidence from the RCMP that included more than 80 land deals. Neither McFee nor Les commented on the cost of the bill. As a comparison, the Globe reported that previous FOI requests revealed the province paid $132,272 for an opinion on whether Air India bomb maker Inderjit Singh Reyat’s lawyer and his children should face fraud charges for putting family members on the legal team’s payroll, and $293,466.75 to consider polygamy charges against Winston Blackmore. Les became the subject of an RCMP investigation in 2007 for allegedly benefitting from deals when he was mayor. McFee concluded that city staff looked at provincial regulations and city bylaws as “guidelines only” and that a pro-development philosophy See LES, Page 6
Cougar’s killing spree ends with single bullet 75-kilogram ‘killing machine’ attacked 11 sheep BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com
A Cornelia Naylor/TIMES
Robertson kindergarten teacher Nancy Arnold staples her bulletin boards into shape for the start of school next week. RCMP are reminding drivers that school zone speed limits also come into effect Sept. 7.
“very large cougar” was tracked and shot by conservation officers Thursday morning, a day after the animal killed 11 sheep on a Ryder Lake property. Environment Minister and MLA for the area Barry Penner was on the scene just after the estimated 75-kilogram,
five-year-old cougar was killed. “I suspect the cougar didn’t even know what hit him,” Penner told the Times Thursday. “He died instantly. We examined the carcass of the cougar on the ground and the shot apparently went right into the heart and exited through the back.” Penner said he was at home literally washing blood off his hands before he was scheduled to catch a flight. “The cougar was large enough that it could kill a black bear,” he said. “It was a fine physical specimen but also a very lethal and efficient killing machine.” The cougar was killed on the property See COUGAR, Page 6

1997 Fish licence fee jumps
Local anglers were on the hook for more money thanks to increases in the price of fishing licences. “They hate it,” said Gord Goodey, owner of Gord’s Tackle Box. “It’s not going into Fisheries but into general revenues so the NDP can continue to squander the money.” An annual fishing licence rose to $32, something Goodey said is not “overly expensive” for “365 days of fishing.” The increase was expected to raise $3.2 million.

The sockeye for sale on Skowkale reserve on Chilliwack River Road are legal, despite some claims otherwise.
Confusion over fish sales Not all salmon are being sold legally BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com
S
ockeye salmon are everywhere right now and there are more than likely a few illegal sales going on. But there is some confusion as to whether or not salmon sales by local First Nations bands are legal. There have been accusations that some Sto:lo band members are illegally selling fish, including those on the Skowkale reserve on Chilliwack River Road. Bob Buhler—who owns The Docks seafood in Sardis—takes no issue with Sto:lo and the right they have to sell fish, but he thinks at least some of the sales on Skowkale aren’t legal. “I think they should have the right to sell their fish,” he told the Times. “I just believe, first off, they should be counted and accounted for and should be handled like a food item needs to be handled.” Mike Fraser, a fishery officer for Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), confirmed the sales by local Sto:lo band members, including those on the Skowkale reserve, are in fact legal. “If they were put on ice and kept in clean containers and handled well [that’s legal],” he said. A First Nation who has a commercial licence or who participates in an economic opportunity fishery can sell fish. However, if buyers have concerns about the legality, those selling the fish should be able to provide proof the salmon were commercially caught by showing that the fish were verified at a landing station. Those selling should also have a provincially issued vending licence and should pro-
vide a receipt if asked. “If someone doesn’t want to provide a receipt chances are it is not a legal sale,” said Leri Davies, a spokesperson for DFO. “Other key indicators are the condition of the fish, although many illegal fishers now clean and ice their fish fairly well. If they are sold from trunks of cars or out of garbage bags they are also likely illegal, not to mention a potential health risk.” Fraser said those bands that have vending permits and landing slips and have agreements in place are allowed to sell whole fish. If fish are gutted and cleaned that has to be done at a licensed processing facility. Murray Ned is a Sumas band councillor and has been catching and selling fish at a roadside stand near the Yellow Barn Country Produce store on No. 3 Road. According to reports, he is selling sockeye for $15 a fish, or $17 completely cleaned and gutted, which may not be legal if this was not done at a processing plant. Buhler suggested fish at his shop are better because they are troll-caught in salt water and cleaned within two hours. He said the fish sold whole on reserve have sometimes been around for five or six hours and this isn’t good for the fish. But Fraser said this is legally fine as long as the fish are on ice. “Fish should be from that day or the previous day,” Fraser said. “Those fish have to be sold whole.” All in all, Buhler said he didn’t want to make a fuss and is happy there is so much attention on fish. “There is so much fish I’m hoping people can have a good experience eating,” he said. Fraser said buyers need to beware at all times when it comes to fish when they are so abundant. Fraser said he could not confirm how long the sockeye bonanza would last, but that it would likely continue into the start of next week.

he boil water advisory at Cultus Lake Village mobile home park has been lifted but another one has been issued for a park down the road. Residents at the Leisure Valley Holiday Park at Lindell Beach were issued a boil water advisory on Wednesday after E. coli bacteria were found in routine sampling. Leisure Valley is on a groundwater system that comes from a “glacial fluvial outwash” deposit, according to Fraser Health spokesperson David Plug. “These things are shortlived but they do happen with some frequency,” Plug told the Times Thursday. On Aug. 18, a boil water advisory was distributed to residents of Cultus Lake Village park after E. coli bacteria were found in the water supply . A Fraser Health spokesperson confirmed on Aug. 24 that E. coli was detected in the water and told the Times that after three consecutive negative tests, the advisory would be lifted. The park’s manager Lawrence Jewett said on Aug. 26 that the water had passed two tests that week and he was confident the next test would be clean and the advisory would be lifted by Aug. 27. However, Fraser Health asked for more work to be done on the water system, which extended the advisory over last weekend. “They have been asked to clean up their reservoirs,” said Fraser Health spokesperson David Plug on Wednesday (Sept. 1), adding this might push the advisory into next week. But then Thursday Plug said the park updated the equipment “sooner rather than later” and residents could drink the water. The issue of E. coli and other problems in municipal water supplies has been in the media lately because of the recent boil water advisory in White Rock that affected 20,000 homes. That advisory was lifted on Sept. 1. Fraser Health publishes a list of current boil water advisories online. As of Thursday, there were 14 advisories posted, all but two of which (one in Surrey and one in Mission) were for water systems east of Chilliwack. A small area at the south end of Ryder Lake in Chilliwack referred to as Southbright has been under a boil water advisory since July 8, 1992. Plug said there is no centralized treatment in this area, however, all the houses on the well have their own filters and UV water treatment meaning they don’t actually boil their water. Other local boil water advisories include Thunderbird Water Users’ community water system in Harrison Hot Springs (since July 26, 1994) and Hemlock Resort water system in Agassiz (since July 18, 2005).

Don’t put away that marshmallow-roasting stick quite yet. Just in time for the Labour Day weekend, authorities lifted the ban on campfires throughout the Coastal Fire Centre, including the Fraser Valley, on Wednesday. The lifting of the ban applies to all B.C. Parks, Crown and private lands, but you still can’t light a campfire within the City of Chilliwack, where a bylaw prohibits such fires. Elsewhere, campfires must be no larger than a half-metre wide and a half-metre tall. People should keep a shovel, or at last eight litres of water, nearby. Open fires remain prohibited, including fires in burning barrels.

Safety upgrade for Vedder Canal bridge BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com
T
he Highway 1 bridge over the Vedder Canal is receiving immediate improvements in an effort to avoid more deadly accidents. Provincial transportation and infrastructure minister Shirley Bond said that while a safety review deemed both the bridge and the highway safe, engineers hope several “safety enhancements” will reduce the number of fatal crashes. “A number of proactive measures were
identified to promote greater awareness as [drivers] approach these crossings, and provide additional protection in the event of a crash,” Bond said in a press release. Work on the improvements have already begun. The upgrades focus on improving drivers’ awareness of the narrow shoulder on the bridge. Earlier this month a Chilliwack truck driver died after his transport truck broke through a bridge barrier and plunged into the canal. It was the third time in just four years that a truck had fallen into the canal. Two drivers died in the crashes. Additional reflectors will be installed on the highway’s concrete roadside barriers and the bridge’s guardrails. A warning sign proclaiming “Shoulders Ending” will be added on each approach, along with a second row of rumble strips. White shoulder markings will also be added
leading up to each approach, and the concrete barriers will be extended 150 metres. Finally, concrete barriers with reflectors will run the length of each bridge. “We probably will never know what caused these various accidents. There’s no evidence that indicates that the bridge and its condition currently is in anyway directly related to the accident other than the fact that the bridge was there,” Chilliwack MLA John Les told the Times. He added that, with 40,000 to 50,000 cars travelling over the bridge every day, “we haven’t had many accidents” on the bridge. Asked why, if there is nothing particularly dangerous about the Vedder Canal Bridge, upgrades are still being made on that bridge, but not other ones on the highway, Les said “There are no two bridges that are the same and this one is a bridge where there have been some accidents in the last number of years, other bridges that is not the case, why that is here? Who knows.”

C
harges have now been laid in connection with Sunday’s Amber Alert incident in which a father is alleged to have violently taken his son from the boy’s maternal grandparents, who had custody. Kenneth Daniel Morey, 34, appeared in court Monday to be charged with three counts of assault and one count of forcible entr y. He has been released and will appear again on Oct. 12. He is free on multiple conditions, including an order to have no contact with his son except through legal counsel. Police arrested two other men in connection with the incident Monday. The boy’s 56-year-old grandfather, and a 17-year-old relative, are alleged to have assisted Morey in the incident. They have been released to face charges at a later date.

ecause of an overwhelming number of hooks and hoofs expected at Island 22 this weekend, the hounds won’t be welcome. Island 22 Regional Park is a popular spot for dog walkers, but with literally hundreds of vehicles expected over the Labour Day long weekend because of an equestrian event and sockeye salmon anglers, Doug Wilson, manager of parks for the Fraser Valley Regional District, is asking dog walkers to stay away. “We are advising anyone coming to walk their dog to please consider going to another location due to the continuation of the sockeye fishery as well as the annual Labour Day weekend equestrian event,” Wilson said in a
media release. “The equestrian event is expecting at least 170 horses, we have been averaging 400 to 500 vehicles a day on weekends during the sockeye fishery. Parking will be very limited given the space required for riders, volunteers, judges and fishermen.” If the fishery ends before the weekend, parking will open up on the river side of the dike, but this might not happen so Wilson is proceeding under the assumption that Island 22 will continue to be a popular spot for launching fishing boats. “Visitors coming to take in the equestrian event will have some parking opportunities between the main gate and the gatehouse along the fence near the small lake near the entrance that area will have free parking,” Wilson said. “Visitors should be prepared to walk .”

olice bungling of a marijuana grow operation investigation has allowed a Surrey man to walk free. Huu V. Hoang was acquitted Monday of charges of producing marijuana and possession for the purpose of trafficking after Judge Russell Mackay threw out all evidence that tied Hoang to a grow-op on Strathcona Road. Charges of theft of electricity were stayed by the Crown after Mackay dismissed the evidence. On Nov. 28, 2008, police stopped a van driven by Hoang in front of a home in the 46500 block of Strathcona Road. Mounties suspected the home harboured a marijuana grow operation and later testified it was not the first time a white van was seen in front of the home. Officers handcuffed Hoang, placed him in the back of a police car and proceeded to search the van, in which officers testified they found a “substantial amount of marijuana.” About 1,200 plants were later found in the home’s basement. While Mackay said police had reason to stop the van, he ruled that police “egregiously” and needlessly breached Hoang’s rights when they made a “de facto arrest” before searching the vehicle. Police also erred, Mackay said, by searching the van without a warrant. Such a warrant, the defence argued, could have been obtained relatively easily, but was not. “I concluded that the detention and de facto
arrest was unlawful,” said Mackay. About the need for the warrant, he said: “The problem was [that] not enough thought seems to have been directed at the issue.” Prosecutor Susan Gill argued that drivers expect less privacy and that the fact that the vehicle had been seen at the grow-op justified Hoang’s detention. But Mackay didn’t buy that argument. He said the lack of any dates or times at which the van had been seen at the house pointed to the sightings of the vehicle at the grow house to be second-hand information. There was, he said, no guarantee that the white van seen at the house was even the same vehicle Hoang was found driving, and no assurance that Hoang had driven the van before. “He was never seen in the van prior to the date in question,” said Mackay. In his ruling, Mackay stated that officers had breached Hoang’s rights under both sections 8 and 9 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. “The violation cannot be classified as a mere technicality,” he said. “His general right to be left alone by the state was interfered with. “This constitutes a very egregious, if not serious, violation of [Hoang’s] rights.” Evidence obtained through improper means is not automatically dismissed. But Mackay noted that if the means through which the evidence is obtained would jeopardize the reputation of the Canadian legal system, the evidence cannot be admitted.

Family facing court trial for marijuana grow-op BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com A Chilliwack family that allegedly grows together, is likely going to trial together. Last October Heather, Herbert and Jeffrey Wernbacher were all charged of producing a controlled substance, possession for the purpose of trafficking and fraudulently consuming electricity or gas. On Tuesday, the trio’s case was scheduled for a trial confirmation hearing on July 20, 2011.
LES, from page 1 pervaded at city hall. However, he concluded the “available evidence does not meet the threshold of a substantial likelihood that Mr. Les would be convicted of the offence of breach of trust by a public officer.” McFee did approve three charges of breach of trust by a public officer against Sanborn who was the city’s former director of development and approving officer. The three charges were announced June 25. Before Sanborn’s first court appearance on July 27, Sanborn was also charged with two more counts: fraud and using a forged document from his time as a land development consultant after he left city hall. These charges relate to Chilliwack farmer Butch Goertzen. One charge of fraud alleges COUGAR, from page 1 of Marlene Letkeman and her husband Ron who have lived and raised animals in Ryder Lake for 22 years. Wild animal sightings and even the odd attack on their domestic animals are not unheard of, but what happened Wednesday week was like nothing the couple had seen before. “We had a bear kill one of out goats one time,” Marlene told the Times. “We had some wild dogs get a sheep. . . . This was definitely the worst. It was a kill zone. All my sheep were dead.” Marlene said she went out Wednesday morning and found the 11 dead sheep that were in a fenced paddock near the house. The animal had disemboweled and fed off two of the sheep but killed nine others as well. “My husband and I are in shock,” she said. “It’s been a big blow.” Marlene said they currently have about 20 sheep altogether and the animals were valu-
The incident stems from a police raid last October of a home on Freeland Place, on Chilliwack Mountain. Police say they found 1,096 marijuana plants, eight firearms, and “an electrical diversion” that allowed for the theft of electricity. The house is registered in Herbert and Heather’s name. Jeffrey is the couple’s son. Herbert, 65, is also charged with 16 firearms offences, eight for the unauthorized possession of a firearm, and eight for the illegal storage of a firearm.
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.” Two of the three breach of trust charges Sanborn faces are connected to Les’s Rosebank development and the third relates to a project built by prominent city developer and former township alderman Eldon Unger. Sanborn’s latest court appearance was Thursday where the three legal parties involved agreed to Oct. 1 at 9:30 a.m. for an arraignment hearing on all five charges.
Not first attack able St. Croix hair sheep. They also keep emus on the property. After the sheep killings, Marlene called the conservation officer service to report the animal, particularly because she was concerned about children on the roads with school starting up next week. “Unfortunately, to protect public safety, the cougar had to be put down,” Penner said. “I’m not happy about that but I think our staff handled it very professionally.” To track the cougar, one of the dead sheep was left at the base of a tree to bait it, and Thursday morning conservation officer Paul McFadden went up to the property with a houndsman to track the cougar, Penner said. Once there, the scent was picked up immediately, the cougar was spotted and after a brief chase it went up a tree where it was killed with a single shot.

Penner’s staff needs time to review 5,000-page document BY KELLY SINOSKI Vancouver Sun
M
etro Vancouver officials made a final pitch Wednesday to Environment Minister Barry Penner for a proposal to build a trash incinerator to burn the region’s waste. But it will be some time before a decision is made. Penner said Wednesday his staff will “carefully review” the 5,000 pages submitted by Metro, including its own report, e-mails and letters from the public, before he can make a decision on the region’s solid-waste management plan. T h e re p o r t m u s t c o m p l y w i t h provincial regulations and address air quality concerns, Penner said. He said air-quality concerns have been raised not only in the Fraser Valley, but also by residents from North Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby and New Westminster. “I’ll be paying particularly close
Metro Vancouver proposal to burn trash hangs in the balance attention to air quality, but there are [also] other environmental issues we’ll be paying attention to,” Penner said. “We can’t commit to a certain date, but we want to make it a priority.” In an hour-long presentation in Victoria, Metro chairwoman and Delta Mayor Lois Jackson, Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore and Port Moody Mayor Joe Trasolini told the minister how the region would dramatically reduce the quantity of garbage being buried in landfills and recover energy from trash. Metro’s solid-waste management report aims to divert garbage through recycling programs, increasing the recycling rate from 55 per cent today to a minimum of 70 per cent by 2015 through initiatives such as regionwide composting, more bans on things
that can’t be recycled and mandatory recycling in all multi-family and commercial buildings. Metro Vancouver’s report shows that “based on an independent analysis of long-term financial costs, air quality impacts and greenhouse gas issues, some kind of waste-to-energy technology was the clear winner and most sustainable option for waste disposal,” Metro said in a news release. Trasolini said Metro has “no time to waste” because the regional district’s contract with the operators of the Cache Creek landfill runs out in 2016. If Penner approves the solid-waste management plan, he said the regional district will need six years to put out a request for proposals, go through an environmental assessment review and develop potential sites for incinerators.

LABOUR DAY
THIS LABOUR DAY it is the goal
of the Fraser Valley Labour Council to remind our community that Labour Day is more than just the last long weekend of summer, but a celebration of the economic an social achievements of Workers, Unions and British Columbians.
Demolition work continues on the Empress Hotel as the pub portion, formerly known as Dapper Dan’s, was torn down Wednesday. The Chilliwack Economic Partners Corporation purchased the Empress for $1.3 million from Slipstream Developments earlier this year. The site is the focal point of the city’s downtown development plans and will likely be the future site of townhouses or apartments. See video footage of the demolition on the Chilliwack Times website at www.chilliwacktimes.com.
One of these recent achievements is the governments recognition of the need for pension security. This acknowledgement only came because people stood up, took action and spoke out.

bbotsford police have named the Chilliwack man who died in a head-on collision Thursday afternoon. Alexander Hatt, 68, was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics after the GMC Jimmy he was driving slammed into a large farm truck at Wells Line Road and Inter-Provincial Highway about 3:30 p.m. Hatt’s Jimmy was pinned under the truck from the force of the impact, Const. Ian MacDonald said, adding that the two occupants in the truck
Alexander Hatt died after his truck slammed into a large farm vehicle were not hurt in the accident. Collision reconstruction experts continue to investigate the crash, however, it is “too early” to tell the cause of the accident. “At this point, we can’t go with anything other than the driver of the GMC Jimmy and the farm truck collided head on and the driver of the Jimmy died at the scene,” said MacDonald. “It will be some time until we have all the answers.”
MacDonald said dealing with a victim’s family following an incident involving death is always a sobering experience for law enforcement. “In situations and tragedies like this one, it’s the real moment of impact for police. Not just at the scene. “Seeing how families are affected really drives home the gravity of the situation.” – with a file from Cam Tucker

Public transit week needed
T
he verdict is in! In response to my comprehensive report detailing the inadequacies and possible solutions concerning the Chilliwack transit system the municipality has submitted their changes for the 2010/11 year. They’re upgrading to the AgassizHarrison connector! Wait, what? Don’t get me wrong that connector did need an upgrade, but it wasn’t mentioned in my report, and it’s not even in the realm of a top priority to the majority of the transit ridership. Let’s consider another report, the Chilliwack Comprehensive Municipal Transit Plan (TP) released in 1999 by BC Transit, which cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars. Why do we keep spending so much on studies that yield results we promptly ignore? If we took that money and invested it toward the actual problem, it would likely be a non-issue. After reading the TP I’m saddened to find out that the Chilliwack transit system is in the same awkward transitional phase it was in 1998. We’re stuck transitioning from a system that only services captive riders (people with no other choice but to take the bus) while hoping for a system that will eventually service choice riders (people who choose to take the bus). The TP recommended to either invest in the system to get us over this transitional phase and into a choice rider system, or strip the system down to its bare minimum, like it was the ’80s, and intentionally make it a
JENN BIGHAM
Be Our Guest captive rider system. The TP went on to say that whatever we do we should get out of this awkward transitional phase as soon as possible because it has all the expenses of a choice system, but the return of a captive system. Guess what, 12 years later we’re still in the transition phase, and it’s bleeding us dry.We’ve ignored both time tables in the TP, the “aggressive” and the “standard” methods of upgrades. According to these timetables, by the year 2004 if we did the most aggressive method of upgrades we would have a fleet of 24 buses, versus the bare minimum method of upgrades after which we would have a fleet of 10 buses. Thus it can be concluded that we’ve done less than the bare minimum to find ourselves in the year 2010 with a fleet of only six buses. That’s not even mentioning all of the routing/scheduling timetable suggestions we’ve ignored; halfhour frequency across the board, and service to areas including Chilliwack Mountain and Ryder Lake. Don’t forget that we should have had evening and holiday service as of the year 2002. I’m sure it’s no surprise the performance of the Chilliwack transit
system based on municipalities of the same size is ranked in the lowest percentile. I agree with council that the annual changes to the transit system should be “incremental” but clearly we need to recalibrate, because the changes made to the system over the last several years are so small they aren’t noticeable. Council doesn’t necessarily need to use my plan for upgrades, but they need to use a plan, with a schedule, and stick to it. Clearly we’ve chosen the “upgrade to a choice system” option given the 1999 TP ultimatum—so let’s do it! Let’s make Sept. 5 to 11 Chilliwack’s Public Transit week. Let’s help spread awareness to our automobile dependant community, and encourage the masses to park their cars and get on a bus. Approximately 52,300 members of our community live within a reasonable walking distance of a bus stop, but only around 1,500 people use he bus system on a daily basis. I think we can do better Chilliwack. Councillor Diane Janzen, the chair of our transportation advisory committee (TAC), has the primary mandate of increasing ridership on the buses in Chilliwack but has never actually been on a Chilliwack bus herself. I think it’s time for council and TAC to lead by example and put their bus fares where their mouths are and get on a bus. ◗ Jenn Bigham is also known as The Chilliwack’tivist.
Safer roads are just around the corner. At least that’s the goal behind new drinking-and-driving legislation that will come into force in less than a month. As of Sept. 20, police in B.C. will be armed with the toughest legal tools in Canada to get impaired drivers off the roads faster and for longer periods of time. According to Statistics Canada, impaired driving has been on the rise in B.C.—an alarming revelation that spurred the provincial government to make it easier to remove the perpetrators from their vehicles. When the new law comes into effect, drinking drivers who fail the Criminal Code standard breath test will be immediately banned from driving for 90 days, will have their vehicle impounded for 30 days and will be fined $500—aside from possible criminal charges that carry additional fines and potential jail terms. The new provincial legislation adds a “warning” range to the standard breathalyzer test. A reading between 0.05 and the criminally liable 0.08 will earn the errant driver a three-day driving ban and a $200 fine. Getting caught at that level more than once within five years ups the ante to a seven-day ban and a $300 fine the second time, and a 30-day ban with a $400 fine for a third time. Research has shown that, although below the Criminal Code’s radar, drivers with breath alcohol levels between 0.05 and 0.08 per cent are seven times more likely to be involved in a fatal crash than sober drivers are. Numbers of impaired driving charges rose 18 per cent from 2008 to 2009. That is fatally unacceptable. There will be no tears from us for anyone who feels hard done by when they get nailed under the new law.

Frustrated by lack of respect for rules Editor: I see these signs, but I can’t help but wonder what they mean. No, seriously, I know what they mean, but to many people here, these signs mean nothing. There are a total of four No U-turn signs with in a 100-foot distance, just south of the new Evans Road overpass, but there are at least 20 cars each day doing U-turns in this same area I’m wondering, how did these people get their licences, not knowing what the signage means? Not only that, we have a sign at our driveway entrance, here at Creekside apartments, that says, No Trespassing - Private Property, but drivers pay no attention. We get from 40 to 60 people everyday doing turn-a-bouts in the parking lot. I’m wondering, are these same people too stupid to figure out the traffic circle on the north side of the overpass, or are they just too cheap to go to the light at Knight Road make a left, go to Topaz and make a left to Luckakuck. These people that are turning here in our yard get upset if we hold them up while we park in our stalls. We get the finger and are being cursed at because of it. People are not concerned that they are intruding on someone else’s property. Not only that, we’ve had three people urinate, two men, one woman, here in broad daylight. Is there no shame these days? The only thing that will stop these U-turns and turning in our yard, is a barrier installed down the centre of Evans Road past our driveway from the overpass. Then we who live here couldn’t turn south on Evans Road. So be it. It’s better than having all this traffic in our yard. I’m frustrated. Is no one concerned?

Heaven forbid that she is the emergency doctor on call and I need life-saving treatment as in blood transfusion. In this day and age, any type of birth control should be commended. This is called being responsible.However, I would like to add to this, I do hope this lady stopped at a local drugstore and picked up a box of condoms—better safe than sorry.

Quit using disposables Editor: I am addressing this letter to the fast food chains in Chilliwack and to the city of Chilliwack. My family and I moved to Chilliwack about two and half years ago and we really enjoy living here, having moved here from Vancouver Island. It is a wonderful community to live in, with many wonderful natural opportunities to teach our growing daughters. A small issue which I have, which virtually every community has in North America, is the garbage that I notice on a daily basis from all the fast food chains just thrown on the side of the streets and in many cases winding up on all of our neighbours’ properties. My daughters and I try to clean up as much as we can whenever we go for a walk. The question I have, is it not possible to ask the fast
food chains to not use disposable cups, etc. and to change over to cups which people have to purchase, being reusable, and therefore would not be thrown away? I believe a great majority of the garbage would disappear with just a simple bylaw being enacted to ask these businesses to reconsider how they are affecting the environment. The responsibility of course lies upon those individuals who throw away the garbage, and maybe they too could reconsider their actions. Peter DeOliveira Chilliwack
and the fire department can come and make sure the fire doesn’t spread to the neighbours’ homes. Sure, being properly equipped for an emergency costs money, but so does a tax hike. Also, I’ve seen our on-call firefighters out here in Yarrow respond to fire calls over the years, and I’m pretty sure they would be at my house before the career firefighters would be (unless the career fire truck happened to be out in Yarrow at the time). I thought Mayor Gaetz had a good response in the Aug. 27 paper where she suggested that career staff vacancies due to illness could be filled by on-call department members. Surely that would be a cost effective way to provide the level of service that is being called for by the career firefighters, although the comment by one of the career firefighters on the radio about Langley Township becoming a “legitimate” fire department certainly wasn’t lost on me. I wonder how our on-call firefighters feel about the insinuation made there? S. Davis Yarrow
Happy with fire Mayor’s idea service now makes sense Editor:
It might be nice to have 15 firefighters respond within eight minutes to a fire call, but that all comes at a cost, and that cost (among other things) is higher taxes. I’m quite happy paying $55/year towards the level of fire service we enjoy in Chilliwack and I don’t look forward to having that increased to $100 or more. I understand that our career firefighters are supported by over one hundred on-call firefighters who only have to be paid when they respond to a call. That seems like a pretty efficient way to run things. I’m sure it’s a bit slower to have an on-call member respond from home or work than have someone already on shift, but then I’m not planning on relying on responding firefighters to save my family if we have a fire in our home. I’ve got working smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, an escape ladder and an escape plan in place. We’ll rescue ourselves
Editor: I’m not necessarily a big fan of Mayor Gaetz’s priorities or decisions, but her response to the Chilliwack Professional Firefighters seemed to make a lot of sense. I thought her closing comment on using paid on-call firefighters to fill in for sick career firefighters made a lot of sense. Wouldn’t that take care of the main issue that was presented, namely the safety of the public by having a crew of four on a responding fire truck? John Smith Chilliwack
Cooke’s sale a big success Editor: I would personally like to express a big thank you to all volunteers for your participation and graciously devoting your time and donations regarding Cooke's rummage sale last Saturday. It was a big success.
I would also like to thank all merchants for allowing us to post our advertising posters onto your premises. Thank you to the merchants as well for your donations to help make this a big success, too! Thank you to the community of Chilliwack for your act of kindness, support and generosity.

Please respect speed limits Editor: With school just around the corner and immediately following an accident just metres away from Evans elementary, I feel the need to voice a heartfelt request: Please slow down. One reporter referred to Monday’s crash as a “wakeup call” but the parents of Evans elementary have been sounding this particular alarm for several years now and little notice has been given. Madame mayor, I ask you, do we need to wait for tragedy to strike before a 30 km/h school zone is put into place to protect our children? Currently, the speed limit along Evans is 50 km/h yet the majority of cars travelling this stretch of road are moving much faster. Drivers who mind the speed limit are frequently treated to honking horns and rude hand gestures. In the absence of a school zone, the existing speed limit needs to be strictly enforced to send the message that “maximum” means “not to exceed." If you travel along Evans Road, please watch your speed and stay below the posted limit. By adding only a minute or two to your journey you could avoid being the cause of a horrifying catastrophe. These children are precious. Help keep them safe. Laura Woodruff Sardis

R
ecently my wife and I had the “opportunity” to care for my brother’s two young boys when he needed to go to the hospital for emergency lung surgery. Our three children are now much older, so the four or five days we had with the boys were certainly a reminder of what life was like with young children. One day I am going to tell them that we moved the clock up so their “bedtime” came much earlier. I quickly found out that one thing hasn’t changed from the time we had young children. I doubt it hasn’t changed in a thousand years. Every time we had to say no to them or failed to give them what they wanted, one, or both of them, said, “but that’s not fair!” Sound familiar? In fact, if we are honest, we would
It’s not fair! realize that this cry is certainly not limited to the very young. This week as I was looking at the Old Testament character of Job, I found an entire book of someone wrestling with the unfairness of life. Maybe it is the universality of this struggle that keeps the book of Job on many lists when people talk about the greatest pieces of literature ever written. Job was a man who had it all going for him until all of his possessions were destroyed in a day. The next thing that goes wrong is his children are all tragically killed. Finally, to add insult to injury, his health collapses and he is left completely covered with painful boils sitting on a dung
heap scraping himself with a broken piece of pottery. If my kids met Job they would definitely say “sucks to be you!” It is interesting that Job is surrounded by two differing types of counsel by those closest to him. The first is his wife who simply says “curse God and die.” I am sure that that advice was probably a summary of a much longer conversation. The gist of what she was saying was “if God is going to treat you this way or allow this to happen (especially in light of how you tried to follow Him), then He is really not a God worth following!” The second type of counsel Job received was from his friends who showed up when they heard
about Job’s misfortune. Their counsel is essentially this: good things happen to good people; bad things happen to bad people. Clearly you have offended God in some way and are being punished. So, of Job’s “counsellor’s,” one party blamed God while the other party blamed Job. If you think about it, I think both had something in common—they all failed to understand or engage with a relational God. Job’s wife had enough of a God who had failed to live up to the transactional expectations she had of Him. Job’s friends were far more religious (and claimed to speak for God) which made their approach even worse. “We know God,” they claim, “we have him figured out,” yet their pat answers and one-dimensional explanations of who God is, leaves even God choked in the end. Job mutters at God, yells at God, and even curses the day he was ever
born. His cries of “Why me?” express the heart of everyone who has ever tried to make sense of their pain. Through it all, however, Job remains fully engaged with this God. He never dismisses God in his pain and in the end comes to grips with an even greater mystery than his suffering—the mystery of a Creator God he cannot fully fathom, contain or control. In the end Job decides that is enough for him. So what is the lesson of Job? I guess there is no question that we will all experience pain or disappointment along the way. The only real question is which character in the book of Job will we choose to identify with when we are faced with the words “it’s not fair!” ◗ Vern Tompke is the team coach at theVineyard Community Church and welcomes your comments at vtompke@shaw.ca.

he Chilliwack Bruins pared their roster down Thursday after a Black vs. White intersquad game Wednesday night turned into a rout. The Blacks outgunned the Whites 7-1 in a full-scale tilt at Prospera Centre. Brandon Magee led the way for the Blacks, scoring two goals and adding two assists. Magee, a small centre from Edmonton, was the Bruins’ fourth round draft pick in the 2009 draft. Now 16, he’s hoping to stick with the big squad. Bruins coach Marc Habscheid said the intrasquad game was a chance to see new players in an intense, game-like environment. “It was good, we had our prospects in,” said Habscheid. “It’s just an evaluation of how they fit in when the competition gets tougher. It gives us a chance to look at them and make some decisions.” Habscheid didn’t want to say who exactly has impressed him so far at camp. “We don’t like anointing guys. It’s just not our style,” he said. He did note that “some

young guys have made some good impressions, but it’s so early yet.” The Bruins begin their exhibition season Friday night in Chase against the Kamloops Blazers. The two teams face off again on Saturday in Mission (game time at 7 p.m.) Habscheid said he and his staff will be looking at how new faces respond in the coming exhibition games against better players. And they’ll also look to see what shape returning players are after the summer. “It’s a long ways left to go and we’re just going to let things run their course,” he said. “The answers usually present themselves.”

were being beaten. The intensity of their opponents hits installed some fear into the Chilliwack players, Smith said. Or at least many of them. Noah Chand earned the tournament “game ball” for the Blues with his fearless determination. “It was really his attitude,” said Smith. “Lots of courage, lots of heart. Noah kept saying, ‘Put me in, put me in, put me in.’” While the Blues were outmatched, the Reds pushed their Lincoln opponents to the brink in a close Sunday game. The Reds eventually fell, but not
‘Lots of courage, lots of heart’ before coming a yard away from tying the game. “At the end of the day, I was proud of the kids,” said Smith. And they were proud of themselves. “Kids were telling me, ‘We survived, we lived.’” The football was just a small part of an exciting weekend that included a tour of mammoth Memorial Stadium, which hosts Nebraska Cornhuskers games, along with barbecues, hayrides and a trip to a massive waterpark, all with their Nebraskan counterparts. Perhaps unsurprisingly for two teams
of young football players on a weekend trip, the hotel was a particular hit, as was the enormous Lincoln Zoo. “I’m sure this will be the highlight for most players from their football playing days,” said Smith. “It was an incredible trip.” But it was just part of an incredible year. The Giants will play later this month at Qwest Field in Seattle before a Seattle Seahawks game. And in October, the Giants will provide the halftime entertainment at a B.C. Lions game by playing Prince George.

Former Chief Tambellini targets Canucks’ third line BY JIM JAMIESON The Province
J
eff Tambellini has National Hockey League wheels, a quick release and a shot to match. At 26, after six seasons of pro hockey and a middling 180 NHL games played, the former Chilliwack Chiefs star is at a crossroads in his career. Cast adrift after last season by the New York Islanders, Tambellini signed a one-year free-agent deal with Vancouver on July 1. He grew up in suburban Port Moody, while his father, Steve (now the general manager in Edmonton), played for and then became a member of management with the Canucks. It sets the stage for a storybook
turn to his path in hockey, but Tambellini will be challenged to prove he belongs in the NHL and crack what appears to be a stacked lineup. “To come to a first-place club and get an opportunity is hard to find,” said Tambellini, following an informal shinny session with some of his new teammates on Tuesday at the University of British Columbia. “That it’s in my hometown is an added bonus. Hopefully, I can come in and add some depth to this team.” Tambellini says he’s focusing on a spot on the third line. On the surface at least, vets Raffi Torres and Manny Malhotra are expected to occupy two of those spots, so he’ll have lots of competition for a job that requires skill but also grit and a
defensive conscience. “When you look at teams that have won the last couple of years they all have that scoring element on that third line, somebody like Tyler Kennedy in Pittsburgh,” said the five-foot-11, 185-pound forward. “I know I need to bring some bite to that third-line spot, be able to do a lot of things, not just play with the puck, be good in your own zone, be able to kill a penalty and finish checks.” Tambellini has 18 goals and 46 points and is minus-30 in those 180 NHL games—not what you’d hope for a first-round pick (27th overall by the Los Angeles Kings in 2003, subsequently traded in his rookie year to the Islanders), or someone who amassed 168 points in just
88 games in two seasons with the Chiefs between 2000 and 2002. But in the American Hockey League, where he’s spent the majority of his time as a professional, he’s shown he can be an elite scorer. Tambellini had some time with the Islanders through the regimes of two head coaches: Ted Nolan—who was let go for favouring the veterans too much in playing time—and current head man, Scott Gordon. He didn’t prosper under either. Areas of concern were lost puck battles, but never skill or work ethic. Canucks assistant GM Laurence Gilman said Tambellini could potentially fit a number of spots at forward. “It’s completely up to him,” said Gilman. “He will define the role he
has if he makes our team.” Tambellini, whose contract is of the two-way variety for the NHL minimum $500,000 US, knows this is an important point in his career and believes the timing is right. “I don’t doubt myself as a player,” he said. “There have been ups and downs over the years, but that happens to a lot of players. It’s more how you respond. Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise that it went the way it did. “I’m excited that this is coming to me now to a team like this, at this age. I’m happy I didn’t come here at 21 when you’ve got so much to learn. Now I’ve got almost 200 games under my belt and a little bit of knowledge of the game. It’s a fantastic opportunity.”

How Do We Pay for Roads, From Now On?
EQUESTRIAN HORSE TRIALS THIS WEEKEND
Road pricing is contentious. While advocates tout its efficiency and effectiveness in reducing congestion and the environmental impact of motor vehicles, drivers object to the added cost. Low-income drivers are said to be especially unfairly burdened. But the real question, as Lisa Schweitzer and Brian Cedric Hughes Taylor explore in “Just Road Pricing” in Access #36, the magazine of the University of California Transportation Centre is whether road pricing burdens the poor more than other ways of paying for roads.
Blue Corner boxers can’t find ring success
Fighting ring rust and tough judges, Weitzel, Schubert and Csaszar all lose
Y
arrow-based Blue Corner Boxing sent four fighters into the ring last weekend, including three who fought in The Clash at Cascade 3 in Langley. In his first fight, Calep Weitzel gave his best through three rounds. But the 33-year-old was bested by his faster opponent Andrew Betory when he dropped his guard. Weitzel will fight again on Oct. 9. After dominating the first round of his bout with Jason Keller, Blue Corner’s Yves
Schubert ran out of steam and went down in the second round. Giving up 15 pounds to the heavier Keller, Schubert stayed down for the count after being struck by a couple of hard punches. The fight was Yves first after six years away from the ring. Jake Weitzel had Blue Corner’s best fight of the night, and was featured in the main event. Coach Ingo Schubert thought that Jake was again roped by the ring judges. But he said that after many verdicts he considers unfair against Weitzel, that he is impressed that Jake still battles on. Weitzel, for his part said he knows that he beat his opponent and that his coach is happy with his performance. Dan Csaszar fought in Seattle on Saturday night but it was apparent that he wasn’t ready yet after a summer break and two months of no boxing as his timing and speed were off.
Ms. Schweitzer and Mr. Taylor note that “sales taxes are automatically collected a few cents at a time from all consumers, and are hidden in a large number of transactions.” This makes annual sales tax costs more opaque to the average consumer. Sales taxes also shift part of the tax burden onto visitors. But, they ask, whether sales taxes are an inherently fairer or more effective way of financing the costs of roads than road pricing? Fairness is not an objective measure but, in the context of taxation, progressive taxeslike income tax which impose a higher tax rate on higher income earners- are thought to be ‘fairer’ than regressive taxes-like sales taxes which impose the same rate on all
In California the most common type of priced road is the High Occupancy/Toll or HOT lane. Ms. Schweitzer and Mr. Taylor examined the 91 Express Lanes, which are the HOT lanes in Barrister & Solicitor the median of a 10-mile stretch of a congested freeway linking job-rich Orange County with housing-rich San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. They compared the population who paid the $34 million in tolls collected on the road in 2003 with the population who would have paid that amount had it been collected through sales taxes in Orange County that same year. They found that the heaviest users of the 91 Express Lanesand the largest beneficiaries of them-were primarily from middle- and upper-middle income households both inside and outside of Orange County. The Orange County study also suggests that switching from tolls to sales taxes would have “shifted the burden of paying for the road from users to non-users, and away from middle-income people and onto both the rich and the poor. People in the poorest households in Orange County almost never use the 91 Express Lanes. So while few of the poor enjoy the time savings of travel in the tolled lanes, they also don’t pay for the road space that benefits others.” The conclusion: Funding freeway capacity with sales taxes was a pro-auto/pro-driving policy that effectively taxed all residents, rich and poor alike, while providing benefits to a much smaller group of drivers and their passengers.

Traditional sources of revenue for transportation infrastructure are drying up. As the buying power of fuel taxes has declined over the years, to finance new roads and infrastructure upgrades, governments have made up for the funding shortfall by tolling, but also by borrowing money, and by turning to general taxes and especially sales taxes.

A quick breakfast on the run for your busy life
W
ith the start of another school season, almost everyone’s lives become a bit more hectic—the increased traffic on the road is a perfect example of this. Store bought, premade breakfast bars are not always the healthiest solution to breakfasts on the run, so I want to share this recipe made with whole wheat flour, oatmeal, and ground flax. Make them ahead of time and freeze each of the sixteen bars individually. For those hurried mornings, microwave one bar on high for 30 seconds, and you are out the door with warm oatmeal in your hand. Yes, the recipe does have butter in it for moisture and tenderness, but remember this makes sixteen bars: that’s only just over two teaspoons of butter per bar. I hope this recipe will take a bite out of your busy mornings. Oatmeal Breakfast Bars Recipe created by Chef Dez/ Gordon Desormeaux www.chefdez.com The benefit of oatmeal in a convenient bar. Great for breakfast on the run. Microwave each bar from frozen for 30 seconds on high power. Makes 16 bars 2 ¼ (two and a quarter) cups whole wheat flour 2 ¼ (two and a quarter) cups quick oats
CHEF DEZ
On Cooking ¾ (three quarters) cup raisins 3 tbsp ground flax seed 1½ (one and one half) tsp baking soda 1½ (one and one half) tsp cinnamon 1 tsp salt ¾ (three quarters) cup butter, room temperature ½ (one half) cup Splenda Brown Sugar Blend 1 cup unsweetened apple sauce 1½ (one and one half) tsp vanilla extract 2 eggs 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare a 9by-13 inch cake pan with baking spray. Tip: Line the pan with parchment paper leaving the ends sticking out to make the uncut product easier to remove from the pan once cooled. 2. Combine the whole wheat flour, quick oats, raisins, ground flax seed, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt in a mixing bowl. 3. Beat the butter and Splenda Brown Sugar Blend together in a separate bowl. 4. Add the apple sauce, vanilla extract and eggs to the butter and Splenda/ butter mixture. Continue beating until thoroughly
combined. 5. Combine the mixtures in the two bowls together. It will be a very thick batter. 6. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan. 7. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until firm. 8. Cool in the pan until room temperature—it is important for it to set up firm enough to cut into bars. 9. Cut into 16 equal bars by removing the product from the pan first. Enjoy immediately or freeze individually. Send your food/cooking questions to dez@chefdez.com or P.O. Box 2674, Abbotsford, B.C. V2T 6R4.

The Sardis Secondary Drum Line performs at the PNE fair in Vancouver on Aug. 31. BY LAURA BAZIUK The Province
E
ight high school drummers are snaring a lot of attention at the PNE this year. The students from the drumline program at Sardis Secondary School in Chilliwack have given up the end of their summer to perform three shows a day at the fair. The grades 11 and 12 performers say they do it because they thrive on playing tom-toms, snares, bass drums, cymbals and xylophone, to the delight of their audience. “I get to keep going, doing something I love,” said 17-year-old
Teens beat to the rhythm at PNE
Justin Tufty. “Each time, there’s a different crowd and they’re always so amazed.” With rhythm-heavy favourites such as “Thunderstruck,” “Sweet Child o’ Mine” and “What is Love?,” the group feeds off people smiling, kids dancing and astonished expressions, he said. The drummers dance, spin and sing themselves to whip up the crowd. “We built up the confidence to do whatever,” said DJ Lochead, 16.
The eight teens have made the hours-long commute to the PNE every day since it opened, even on rainy days like Tuesday, arriving at 12:30 p.m. and staying as late as 11 p.m. But they’re often so busy rehearsing, performing or resting in their private Pacific Coliseum suite that they haven’t had much time to ride roller-coasters or catch other fair acts. “I haven’t seen my parents in a long time,” the group’s sole
xylophonist, 16-year-old Kevin Castro, said with a laugh, although the others said many of their parents have come out to watch them. The drummers are also remarkably self-supporting. “My peers around me are teaching me,” said 17-year-old Emily McDermid. “You count yourselves in, you count yourselves out.” They practise twice a week during the school year, e-mail their teacher, Bruno Gagnon, with new songs to try, co-ordinate transportation to
gigs and fundraise the money to get and stay there. Sardis’s entire drumline program, about 30 students, was recruited to perform at the Olympics in February. They not only choreographed and learned a new 45-minute routine with merely two months’ notice, but they raised more than $40,000 to make it to Whistler, with the help of their community. ◗ Watch and listen for the Sardis drumline at 3 p.m. at Celebration Plaza, 4:30 p.m. in the 100 Years of Fun Parade and at 6:30 p.m. at Marketplace.

he Chilliwack Cultural Centre is just days away from opening to the public and, as final arrangements are made, the centre is calling for volunteers to help. “Volunteers: the key to success,” is the title of the training program, created by Theresia Reid, booking manager with the Chilliwack Arts & Cultural Centre Society. Reid is looking forward to training community members who want to step up and be part of the support team for performances at The Centre. The first show requiring volunteers to lend a hand is the Chilliwack Community Arts Council’s “Let’s Put on a Show” featuring Mickey and Jan Rooney, on Sept. 11. Tasks include ushering patrons, serving at the concession, collecting tickets and coats, assisting in the administrative office and promoting shows throughout the community. In exchange for working at the centre,
volunteers will occasionally be invited to performances, experiencing sensational shows for free. Identification badges are provided and shifts are three to four hours long. “It gives community members an opportunity to broaden their own experience and understanding of a theatre,” said Reid. “Volunteering at the theatre is a great fun way to spend an evening or afternoon,” added the centre’s executive director, Michael Cade. “To be able to give to the community and have the chance to see amazing shows is a win-win situation.” ◗ For those interested in volunteering please contact Theresia Reid by phone at 604-3928000, e-mail theresia@chilliwackculturalcentre.ca, or in person at the centre box office where volunteer registration forms are available.

In early 1950, Walter worked as a painter in Southern Alberta and was the Art Director at CJLH TV in Lethbridge until he opened up Wally Signs in Medicine Hat, AB. While in Medicine Hat he provided for his family and developed his love for golf. Walter and Miyo were married on August 31, 1957. He moved his family back to Lethbridge in 1978 where he was a partner in A-Plus Signs and later opened up his own business, City Signs, where he worked until he was in his seventies. Walter spent his retirement years golfing, gardening and traveling. He worked hard all of his life to provide for his family. Walter was a man quick to dance or laugh despite his long struggle with Pemphigoid. He accomplished much in his life, including raising his five children, and was a commercial artist for more than 50 years. He was a beloved husband, father and grandfather. A Private Family Service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial tributes may be made in Walter’s name to the Canadian Pemphigus and Pemphigoid Foundation, 27 Beechwood Avenue, Suite 302, Ottawa, Ontario, K1M 1M2.

Sadly Mark Findlay passed away Monday August 23, 2010 at the young age of 25. He lives on with his parents Neil and Vyvienne Findlay, his sister and brother in law Anita and Jeff Ashton, Stephanie Dick and his many wonderful Family and Friends. Mark is in a place where the mountains are always covered in fresh powder, the lakes and rivers are full of fish, the lake is always calm enough for wakeboarding, his truck is louder than thunder and the sun never stops shinning. Mark will be missed tremendously, however Sunday September 5th at 4pm we will Celebrate Marks Life together at Handlers Equipment located on the North side of number 3 road. For further details please view Marks website “Urgent – Find Mark Findlay” located on Facebook.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Pay attention to details, addresses: mistakes are possible. You could find old letters, emails from long ago. Siblings re-connect. Avoid major new starts before Sept. 12. An Augustlong influence of domestic friction will ebb soon, leading to romance, beauty, acceptance, creative work and general joy in life! (Might start this week, or early next.) Wednesday begins an autumn of success and luck in legal, educational, international, love and cultural spheres, especially if you work at them. Chase money/shop Sunday/Monday. Attend to home, kids late week. Romance Saturday! Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Start nothing big before Sept. 12, especially in earnings, purchasing and possessions – but a “renewed” start on an old project/venture might be slated midweek. All week, a former casual sensual relationship is good, a new one not. Your energy and charisma shine Sunday/ Monday. Travel, friends, communications have been lucky and intriguing the last few weeks – and are again, Thursday/Friday. But this promising area will ebb, recede soon – a powerful, perhaps romantic domestic situation will replace it. Are you ready for commitment? Saturday holds clues – in your neighbourhood. Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Rest Sunday/Monday. Your charisma, energy and luck soar Tuesday/Wednesday! (And all month.) Continue to avoid big new starts before Sept. 12. Apply your high spirits to ongoing projects and relationships, or those that return from the past. You’ve had a nice ”money run” for a month or so (in which you’ve probably reduced your bank account by lax/optimistic spending) – this ends soon, so start tightening up. (Wait until Sept. 14 onward to create a budget.) There will be many reasons to spend during the six-seven weeks ahead: travel will call, perhaps via siblings. Job inspiration Thursday!

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: The romance planets have been in your partnership and opportunity sign since early August. They leave soon (Venus Sept. 8, Mars Sept. 14). If you’re unattached, this could be your last chance for a while to find romance (with someone already met?). If you’ve recently formed an attraction, the weeks ahead could deepen it, bringing intimacy and questions of commitment. You’re having second thoughts about work, and the choices you’ve made. What to do? It’s best just to work, period, at whatever. Don’t sweat decisions. This is an easy, smooth, romantic, inspired week! Taurus April 20-May 20: The emphasis lies on romance, beauty, pleasure, creativity, speculation, successful risk. You’re on a winning streak, especially Tuesday/Wednesday and Saturday! (Other four days: tackle practicalities.) Your social life will meet luck and expanding popularity from this week to next January. And better: starting this week and next, romantic opportunities turn to partnership opportunities, through November. Singles among you are in for a great time (unless you’re chained to the couch). Remember, start nothing before Sept. 12: if someone enters before this, hopefully he/she’s a former flame. Gemini May 21-June 20: Remember, start nothing new before Sept. 12. That said, your romantic prospects, high for the last month, remain that way until the 14th. But time is running out. If you have your eye on two or three people (or one) make your bid (Sunday/Monday or, better, Thursday/Friday). Someone with whom you’ve shared love before is better than someone new. Saturday shows you what awaits for the rest of 2010: work, career, ambition, health concerns. Midweek (Tuesday/Wednesday) pay attention to home, kids, nature, real estate: a new project might start, with a former situation or object.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Start nothing brand new and important before Sept. 12. A romantic link or creative opportunity inspires this whole week, especially Thursday eve through Friday night. If you’ve wanted to contact an old flame, this is the time to do so. (Best Sunday/Monday or Thursday/Friday.) Also great for working on film, creative chores, etc. (And for health, sanitation regimes neglected for a while.) Your romantic clout/attractiveness, high since early August, is about to ebb mildly (though it still supports sensual relationships nicely through November) so don’t delay. Rest, government, therapy midweek. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Wishes could come true, especially ones you formed long ago – and especially Tuesday/Wednesday. Remember, start nothing new and significant before Sept. 12. Your career, ambitions and prestige relations demand attention (and reward it) Sunday/Monday. Midweek thrills with social joys, flirtations, entertainment, popularity and high hopes! Retreat for a breather Thursday/Friday. (All week, especially during this “breather,” problems magically dissolve. Your energy and charisma surge back Saturday. Soon, very soon, your romantic magnetism will rise – for four months! Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: This week and next, the high hopes of August ebb into the “forming stage” – where you’ll contemplate them, plan, adjust to give them a path or room to grow, nurture them, etc. (Leave the planning part until next week.) Mostly, those hopes involve(d) romance, creative projects, pleasure, social situations, gatherings, an organization, and work or health. A meeting and/ or conversation this week could inspire or inform you luckily about one of these hopes, especially Thursday/Friday. Earlier, Sunday/Monday are gentle, wise. Be ambitious, friendly with higher-ups Tuesday/ Wednesday.
Sept. 5 - Sept. 11 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Despite mistakes, delays and other irritants, life remains mellow, gentle, loving. Your understanding and compassion flow. But don’t start new ventures before Sept. 12, especially in legal, far travel, publishing, insurance, statistical and cultural areas. It’s a great week for studying history or classical works (or your own family trees/ skeletons). You might receive a great idea about real estate, home, children, security or “Mother Nature” – let it percolate. Big finances, life’s mysteries and subconscious desires rise Sunday/Monday. Ambition, late week. Happiness, social joys Saturday! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Lots of dealings with others this week. (Remember, in all this, don’t start new ventures or new relationships before Sept. 12: delve into ongoing or past ones.) Sunday/Monday can bring exciting meetings, opportunities – and the need for diplomacy. Secrets, mysteries circle you Tuesday/Wednesday. Delve deep – you could solve a psychological puzzle, find the money, or grow more intimate with someone. Legal, far travel, educational, publishing, cultural and love matters arise Thursday/ Friday. These are building a long-term “base” for ambition, worldly position (as Saturday hints). Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Relationships, partnerships, enemies and allies, opportunities and obstacles, potential fame, the public, negotiations, litigation, relocation – one or more of these fills the two weeks ahead. A new project or venture might begin here Tuesday/Wednesday. For safety and success, focus on “renewed” starts. Temptation in some form (sex, money/greed) has tickled your interest since early August (and does again Thursday/Friday). Soon, these lures will fade, to be replaced by a lucky, gentle, wise romantic urge. Saturday shows an early clue. Your financial intuition is correct this week. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
