Brazen stunt keeps raw milk debate front and centre

ike many Chilliwack minor hockey players growing up in the ‘90s, Darnell Dyck grew up idolizing the Chilliwack Chiefs. Many youngsters grow up dreaming to be a Maple Leaf, a Canadien or a Canuck. Darnell’s goal was always to be a Chief. “All those guys were my heroes, I wanted to be just like them,” he says today. Darnell didn’t just love the Chiefs; for more than a decade he was a Chief. In 1994, after his father, Barry Douglas, began doing play-by-play for the Chiefs and hosting a show for Shaw TV, the chief Chief, Harvey Smyl, welcomed Douglas and his young son into the tight-knit Chiefs family. There they remained for more than a decade. So when Darnell, now 19, learned last month that he would finally wear the Chiefs’ jersey in a real game, he was Darren McDonald/TIMES speechless and stunned.

Don’t let health issues get you down this Holiday Season! Bonnie’s battle with high blood pressure

Before I started on SureSlim I was on high blood pressure medication which I had been on for approximately 7 years. Within two months of starting the program I was able to go off the high blood pressure medication, as well as another medication that was affecting my blood pressure. It has been two years now and my blood pressure is normal and my doctor is extremely happy with my current health status.

Payment plans now available!

Bonnie has lost 45 lbs!

Vicki’s Life Without Pain

Prior to starting SureSlim I was always in pain, not realizing that my body was not meant to carry that much weight on my small frame. Why oh Why had a doctor never told me that. I had been diagnosed with everything from ﬁbromyalgia to arthritis, since losing my weight I am totally pain free. I have not been hungry in the past year...in fact I have been eating more than I would have previously. Thank you SureSlim – I have my active life back with no Vicki pain, I look good has lost and my family is 50 lbs! so proud of me!

Al is a Type 2 Diabetic

I’ve saved BC medical thousands of dollars this year. I’m a type 2 diabetic and I was taking 135 units of insulin, now I’m down to 25 units!! Of course with diabetes comes high blood pressure and those pills are now gone! Basically I sleep better, I’ve got more energy and I’m feeling much better! Calling SureSlim was the best Al phone call has lost I’ve ever 66 lbs! made.

Diana had Thyroid Issues I have suffered with a thyroid problem for over 25 years. After medical treatment, I was not able to drop any weight until I started the SureSlim program. The treatment left me with a thyroid range on the low end of normal which made it impossible for me to lose weight. Now I have easily dropped 47 pounds and have the energy of a 20 year old—no more naps and feeling tired and listless. SureSlim has sped up my metabolism to full peak performance Diana despite my thyroid Thank you has lost issues. SureSlim.

2003 Clark joins council

Pat Clark earned her first seat at the city council table when she won a byelection with just 1,396 votes. Born and raised in Rosedale, Clark easily outpaced her fellow competitors. Closest to Clark in votes was Dianne Darke, earning 692 votes, followed by Gord Currie with 445 ballots cast his way. A total of 12 candidates ran in the byelection which cost the city roughly $60,000 to hold. Just 7.8 per cent of eligible voters turned out.

‘Terrorist’ remark off-the-cuff

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

n off-the-cuff and grammatically mangled comment on a Facebook page made by Chilliwack B.C. Conservative candidate and local anti-HST campaign leader Benjamin Besler has garnered him the label “extremist” in a B.C. Liberal caucus press release. Under the headline “Vander Zalm needs to stop hiding and answer for extremists on his team,” the release points to comments allegedly made by Kelowna-Lake Country Fight HST campaigner Al Romanchuk that showed support for neo-Nazi Holocaust denier Ernst Zundel. Next up was a quote of an angry tirade made by Cariboo-Chilcotin recall organizer Gary Edwards on his blog. Then came Besler’s comment where he called U.S. President

Besler says Liberals scraping botttom of the barrel Barack Obama a terrorist. A caucus communications spokesperson sent the Times a screenshot from a Facebook page where, on Jan. 25, under a photo of Obama with a cigarette in his mouth, Besler posted the message, “he’ll be seen for what he truely is soon enough. who the hell in there right mind closes G. Bay...a terrorist.” “I thought it must have been a joke,” Besler said to the Times when shown the press release issued Tuesday. “They have to be scraping the bottom of the barrel. . . . If I ever did say something like that it was definitely an off-the-cuff joke.” Besler said he has always maintained he would not sink to making personal attacks in his anti-HST campaign and now his recall campaign of Chilliwack MLA John Les.

ing NDP members, are becoming uncomfortable with Vander Zalm and the “questionable characters” on his team. “To me it’s not a shot at Ben Besler at all,” he said. “It’s just being associated with Bill Vander Zalm. He shouldn’t get too upset if some of Bill Vander Zalm’s more weird attributes are pointed out.” Besler said he is in the initial stage of looking for volunteers for his recall John Les campaign and he is finding interest. In the riding of Chilliwack, Besler and the Fight HST campaign got 8,138 signatures on the successful petition, more than the required 6,976. For recall, campaigners need 40 per cent of registered voters, which means 14,332 in the Chilliwack riding.

‘Dictatorial’ approach by Fraser Health RAW MILK, from page 1 was legal to drink the latter but not the former. He also claimed that pasteurized milk is more of a health hazard than raw milk. “Fraser Health used dictatorial methods to push [ Jongerden] out of business,” he said. “Her life work of the last three years is destroyed through this illegal process.” Jongerden was in court in September facing civil contempt of court charges brought by Fraser Health for continuing the milk production and distribution after being issued cease and desist orders earlier this year. She asked for an adjournment, something the judge agreed to under the condition that there would be no further production or distribution. Forced to honour the condition, she then stepped down, but Schmidt took over and said that six employees are now milking the cows. “I am not involved at all now,” Jongerden said. “I didn’t have a choice. I sit back and watch somebody else live our dream.” When asked what he hopes to

“I just want to get rid of the HST and if putting a little more pressure on with a recall petition, so be it,” he said. But Les told the Times that Besler is simply trying to re-fight the last election and is using Bill Vander Zalm as a “potentially useful vehicle to drive that agenda.” As for the extremist claim, Les said he hadn’t seen the press release until the Times forwarded it to him, and that while Besler himself isn’t necessarily surrounding himself with “kooky people,” Vander Zalm is. “What we are seeing by Bill Vander Zalm is bit of a repeat from 20 or 25 years ago. He had a remarkable ability back then to surround himself with kooky people, and we are seeing some evidence of that again.” Les said many people, includ-

don’t see how they can go ahead,” Crey said. “Anyone heading up such an inquiry needs the confidence not only of the attorney general and cabinet, but the public at large, the families affected by Pickton’s crimes, and the groups and organizations who lobbied so hard for the inquiry.” Family members and organizations, including the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, complain that Oppal’s appointment undermines the independence of the inquiry, which is supposed to be independent of government and police. Oppal sat at the Liberal cabinet table until last May, and defended the government’s policies on policing and criminal prosecutions, all of which could be examined as part of an inquiry into why serial killer Robert Pickton was allowed to go on killing for so long. Crey, whose sister Dawn vanished after police had compelling evidence pointing at Pickton, said he has no strong personal feelings about Oppal. But he now believes that the former attorney general should step aside and let someone neutral head the inquiry. “What I want to see is the inquiry and that it be done responsibly,” he said. “This one’s not going to work.” Attorney General Mike de Jong announced Monday that he had selected his predecessor to lead the Missing Women Commission of Inquiry. De Jong cited Oppal’s empathy and breadth of experience.

In her work at schools and at Safety Village, Axelson often quizzes kids on fire safety, and she has found that while even kindergarteners would know what to do in the event of a fire at school, they wouldn’t have a clue at home. Initiatives like the Community Fire Drill, which started in Victoria and is now in its third year in the province, are important because they encourage people to think about fire safety at home. “It makes them plan,” said Axelson. “It makes them realize the fire department will not get there in a minute and a half. They need to take responsibility and put a plan in place and get their family out.” The theme of this years drill is “Smoke detectors: a sound you can live with,” and Axelson said there is no reason every household in the city shouldn’t have an operational smoke detector. “A $10 smoke detector can save your child’s life,” she said, “Any child in the world is worth more than $10.”

nother family member has come forward urging former attorney general Wally Oppal to step aside as head of the public inquiry into the Missing Women case. Maggie de Vries, who has been urging an inquiry for years, said today that she wants the probe handled by someone “truly at arms-length from government and police,” and someone who does not already have publicly stated opinions on key issues. “For 12 years, I have lived with all that was done wrong and the needless deaths that resulted,” said de Vries, whose sister, Sarah, is listed among serial killer Robert Pickton’s suspected victims. “For at least eight of those years, I have hoped that an eventual inquiry might lead to change, that at least my sister’s and the other women’s deaths could lead to changes that might save other women’s lives. “I respect Wally Oppal as an individual, but in this instance, I hope that he will step aside.” The B.C. government faces a growing backlash against Oppal’s appointment. Earlier today, Ernie Crey, the brother of one of the missing women said the inquiry has been compromised before it begins by the “overwhelmingly negative” response to Oppal’s appointment. “If no one has any confidence in him, I just

hen it comes to practising home fire escape plans, Lisa Axelson puts her money where her mouth is. The public educator and fire inspector with the Chilliwack Fire Department has a floorplan with two escape routes from every room posted in her house and has been known to jolt her family out of bed with the smoke alarm at 2 a.m. As a fire inspector, the mother of two knows every second can mean the difference between life and death, so when her teenage kids reacted sluggishly to their first drill years ago, she went through it again. “I did not get the response that I wanted, and it petrified me,” she said. Her persistence paid off, and her 21-yearold son now has a safety plan for his own place. “I’m pretty sure they humour me,” she said, “but they also realize the importance of it.” Next month, Axelson and the Chilliwack Fire Department are urging everyone to have a fire escape plan in place for the city’s second annual Great Community Fire Drill on Oct. 7. At 6:30 p.m., sirens will sound across the city and all households are encouraged to check their smoke alarms, practise their escape plans and meet at their designated meeting places. While fire drills are a familiar routine in schools, they’re often neglected at home, and that’s a problem, says Axelson. “We know that the majority of fires happen in residential dwellings not schools,” she said, “yet all of our fire safety equipment is in public buildings; it’s not in homes. We can’t regulate what people do in their homes, because their home is their castle, so all we can do is educate.”

“...we support individuals and families during the dying and grieving process…”

News

Local connection to puppy mill

he B.C. SPCA seized 14 dogs last week from an Abbotsford kennel and pet store owner with ties to the Chilliwack area. The dogs, which included shih tzus, chihuahuas, pugs, and terrier crosses, were “badly neglected,” according to the SPCA. They were seized from suspected puppy mill operators who they say have bred dogs in different Fraser Valley locations, including Chilliwack. He also reportedly owns a pet store that sells dogs and puppies. “These people are well known to us and we have dealt with numerous complaints about sick and neglected animals in their care,” said Marcie

Moriarty, general manager of cruelty investigations for the BC SPCA. The SPCA said the dogs were living in poor conditions and some were badly matted. They also suffered from a number of untreated health problems, including ulcerated eyes, dental disease and badly overgrown nails. Moriarty said the owner of the dogs has previously been asked several times to improve conditions for the animals. He complied in those instances. “In this particular instance we received a call from a member of the public regarding dogs on a property in Abbotsford, a subsequent investigation determined the dogs to be in distress and that the owner was known to us,” said Moriarty. “As a result we were able to obtain a warrant to relieve the dis-

tress of the animals.” Chilliwack SPCA manager Ivana Ferris said the SPCA could not name the operator involved. She did say, however, that he used to live in the Chilliwack area. “We have a lengthy history with this individual with many investigations and visits,” said Ferris. That fact was not disputed by the reported owner in an interview with CTV News. Mel Gerling, who did not return a call by the Times, told CTV that he had received more than 50 orders from the SPCA related to his dog businesses CTV News reported that in addition to owning B&B Kennels, from which the dogs were seized, Gerling also operates B&B Kennels, which was located in Chilliwack before being moved to Maple Ridge.

Extra students make for school start up scramble BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

he Chilliwack school district has had to scramble to accommodate an unexpected 37 extra elementary students this fall. Instead of the 5,887 kindergarten to Grade 6 students officials projected, they’ve now registered the full-time equivalent of 5,923.5 students. “For some of the schools that was a challenge,” assistant superintendent Michael Audet told trustees at Tuesday’s board of education meeting. To meet class-size limits, the district has had to open new primary classes at Bernard, McCammon, Robertson, Vedder and Yarrow elementary schools and new half-day kindergarten classes at Central and East Chilliwack. Overall, the district has 215.5 more students that it did at this time last year. Most of that increase was anticipated as part of the implementation of full-day kindergarten, but there were a couple of things the district hadn’t predicted, according to Audet.

While district estimates for kindergarten were nearly bang on at 840 students (841 are now registered), they ended up with 28 more full-day kindergartners and 27 fewer halfday kindergartners than anticipated. “We were surprised by the number of parents who wanted full-day k and who were willing to place their children in schools where full-day k was available,” said Audet. The district also didn’t anticipate the 37plus extra elementary students. At Bernard elementary, a whopping 29 extra students turned up. The increase was enough to offset an unexpected 16-student drop in numbers in Grades 7 to 12. All told, the district has 11,666.5 students registered—a net 21.5 more than projected— and that doesn’t yet include students from Fraser Valley Distance Ed or the Education Centre. With funding linked to enrolment numbers, that puts the district in a better position than last year at this time, when it registered 52 fewer students than projected. “This is a very good news story in spite of the fact that it means challenges for our school district,” said Audet.

Shining a purple light on violence

iolence against women continues to be a serious problem in Canada. Half of Canadian women have experienced at least one incident of physical or sexual violence since the age of 16. Every minute of every day, a Canadian woman or child is sexually assaulted. Since January of this year in Chilliwack, there have been 105 reports to RCMP of sexual assault and 296 reports of family violence. Worse, those numbers reflect only those incidents reported to police, as some victims never tell anyone about the abuse. With those numbers in mind, local social workers and charities are rallying to raise awareness about domestic violence. This October, Chilliwack residents are being urged to light up the night with a purple light and send the message that domestic violence has no place in our community. The Purple Light Nights campaign honours victims of domestic violence. From Oct. 1 to 31, residents and businesses are encouraged to shine a purple light. Your light will support those who have survived domestic violence and help give

hope to those still living with abuse. A tree lighting ceremony has been planned for Monday, Oct. 4 outside Chilliwack City Hall at 6:30 p.m. Everyone is invited to attend this ceremony. “Domestic violence has far-reaching effects on families, children and our community,” said Chilliwack social worker April Goertzen. “Every woman has the right to live free from violence in her home, workplace and community.” October is domestic violence awareness month, and purple is the symbolic colour of domestic violence. Strings of purple lights can be purchased at Logan’s Home Hardware in Chilliwack; bulbs are available by donation at Nuggets Used Books, Logan’s Home Hardware, Vedder Home Hardware in Sardis, Chilliwack Community Services, Mary’s Uniforms, Ann Davis Transition Society on Young Road, and Chilliwack City Hall. ◗ For more information on how to get involved in Chilliwack contact Beverly Coles, specialized victim assistance, at 604-7937211.

Adjusting to BC’s New Immediate Roadside Prohibition Rules

The ICBC website provides a five column, eleven row chart that summarizes the consequences of driving impaired under the new immediate roadside prohibition rules in British Columbia, effective September 20th, 2010. The first column lists the ten possible consequencesa mix of time periods, fees, penalties, costs, mandatory program requirements, and related criminal charges.

drunk driving fatalities between 2005 and 2009and the number of crashes and injuries in which alcohol was a factor in 2009 - 3,700 crashes and 2,300 injuries- remain high. Hence these rule changes: to make enforcement simpler and more effective in getting impaired drivers out of their cars and off the road right away, and to deter by Barrister & Solicitor making the consequences of impaired driving even more immediate and costly in terms of dollars and inconvenience.

THE ROAD RULES

Cedric Hughes

The next three columns relate these ten possible consequences to a first, second, and third time immediate roadside prohibition for sampling between .05 and .08 blood alcohol content (BAC). This sampling range is called the ‘Warn range’. The fifth column relates the ten consequences to sampling over .08 BAC or refusing to provide a breath sample. Needless to say the consequences increase-longer time periods for loss of a driver’s licence, longer time periods for vehicle impoundment, higher costs, fees and penalties, etc.- across the chart. Road Rules suggests printing out this chart and posting it as a reminder, at least while you learn to adjust your socializing accordingly, near where you head out to your car. Many may be surprised at the extent of the adjustments it dictates. It’s probably fair to say that most BC drivers agree that impaired driving is unacceptable and support laws reflecting this disapproval and enforcing compliance with the simple, oft-repeated ‘Don’t drink and drive’ admonition. It’s also probably fair to say that most understand impaired driving laws as allowing some leeway and have learned to behave responsibly and be law-abiding. Nevertheless, drunk driving deaths have trended upwards-an annual average of 115

Social drinkers will likely (and should) conclude that these new rules set even more stringent limits on how many drinks they can consume in a given time period and still remain fit to drive. Clearly the Criminal Code BAC threshold of .08 no longer sets the tolerated limit in British Columbia. Driving soon after just one drink can easily raise an average woman’s BAC to the ‘Warn range’ and likewise just two drinks for the average man. And it’s hard to argue that the new .05 BAC threshold is draconian given that driving simulator tests consistently show that even readings under .05 still produce measurably poorer reaction times. Law-abiding citizens whose socializing includes consuming alcohol will have to decide in advance how they will return home safely. Couples or groups can designate one person to be the non-drinking driver who may (should) conclude that “non-drinking” requires an even stricter interpretation. Consider arranging taxi rides well beforehand. Consider local destinations within walking distance-which is not to encourage ‘impaired’ pedestrian travel, another ‘too high’ statistic.

Tories: democracy a crapshoot

hank all that is good and pure that the Conservative government is around to tell us what’s what. Recently, finance minister Jim Flaherty gave a fiery speech to the Canadian Club and let us know about the biggest danger facing us today: democracy. Yes, Flaherty said that elections are just too dangerous. At least right now, when there’s no chance of a Tory majority. You see, those darn Liberals and NDPers are up to something, Flaherty told his audience. They’re trying to force another election, and as the Tories have told us time and time again, we just don’t want elections. Canadians hate having to choose who will lead them, hate having to think and have opinions, hate having to judge between three (four, in Quebec) competing political ideologies. What would this (theoretical) election endanger? Let’s let Flaherty speak for himself. “In the global recession, the ship of state has had a difficult voyage,” he said. “But we can see the harbour lights. And that’s just when a would-be captain and his ragtag crew are trying to storm the bridge. If they seize the wheel, ladies and gentlemen, they’ll have us on the rocks.” Yes, that’s right: democratic elections and peaceful changes of gov-

MATTHEW CLAXTON

Be Our Guest ernment are nothing but bands of mutineers. The Libs and NDP and Blocquistes are probably sitting in some smoke-wreathed opium den right now, sharpening their daggers and loading their flintlock pistols. “We take the ship at dawn, me hearties!” sneers Long John Ignatieff, in his best West Country accent. “Then we’ll plunder her treasury, loot the CPP, and make everyone buy a rifle just so we can rack up a bigger Long Gun Registry boondoggle! Ha ha ha ha ha!” Actually, this isn’t so far from what Flaherty claims. In his own words again: “Under an Ignatieff-NDP-Bloc Quebecois government, nothing would be safe,” said the finance minister. “No part of our economy would be spared. No taxpayer would avoid the hit.” He said the “coalition” would create “massive, new, permanent entitlement programs” that the country can’t afford. So, if there is no way that any of the other three major parties can be trusted, I’ll just put into words

what Flaherty and the Tories have been suggesting for some time: elections are bad. Well, the Tories are clearly the only party that has any members who aren’t sub-human morons, right? Everyone else in Parliament is a goon intent on doing nothing but deliberately destroying Canada and ruining the lives of Canadians. Just for fun, on their way to the International Puppy Kicking Convention. The clear answer is to stop having elections at all. The Tories certainly have enough support to remain in power indefinitely. Last time around, more than a third of the 60 per cent of Canadians who voted picked them. That’s, what, 21 per cent of all voting-age adults? So we might as well let them run things until the last Tory collapses into a pile of dust during question period. Sure, you could argue that it’s more important to let people make their own decisions, even if those decisions may lead to uncertain outcomes. You may argue that it’s in the interest of any party in power to paint the opposition as a vile bunch of loons. But surely we should trust Flaherty, one of the most powerful men in the country, a man who would be nothing without integrity and honesty. ◗ Matthew Claxton is a reporter with the Langley Advance.

anity prevailed in Ottawa recently, although just barely. Parliamentarians voted 153-151 against scrapping the national gun registry. A handful of Canadians will be angry. A few more will be upset. Quite a few will be dissatisfied. At the other end of the spectrum, police officers who put their lives on the line every time they go into a domestic dispute situation will be pleased that they will have just a little more information at hand to help them through a day like that. Those who campaign for an end to violence against women will be thrilled. But most Canadians will hardly notice. They will just be happy to see some real issues tackled instead. Those who lost their jobs in the economic downturn and are still looking for new ones might take heart that, with the long gun registry matter set aside, their representatives in Ottawa will have time to consider their problems—maybe find ways to further stimulate employment, or perhaps think about the fact that Employment Insurance benefits are starting to run out. Those whose livelihoods and thoughts about Canada’s future are tied to the north will feel a bit better that MPs will be able to turn their thoughts towards the changing realities of Arctic sovereignty as climate change erodes ice caps and opens shipping channels. Those who have loved ones in Afghanistan, or who care about the men and women serving there, will take strength from their federal representatives’ renewed opportunities to debate, justify, or rethink Canada’s commitments. Or maybe, with the long gun registry issue at rest, parliamentarians can put some thought to how the courts deal with criminals who use guns—registered or not. Now our MPs have the time to do something constructive.

Speed kills . . . children Editor: I have just had the most disturbing day due to speed. I leave for work Monday to Friday at 7:10 a.m. every morning off of Unity Road in East Chilliwack, and every morning, I come to the stop sign at the road and there are children standing at the stop sign waiting for their bus to go to school. At the same time there are two vehicles doing Mach 5 down Hack Brown Road. It is now dark in the mornings and the children are still there playing at the stop sign, not a care in the world and waiting for their school bus. This morning after stopping at the stop sign and driving towards the Annis Road on-ramp there was a coyote laying on the road crying as it was hit so hard by a vehicle. I couldn’t do a thing for this poor animal other than cry. I tried to call the City of Chilliwack but they were not open yet. All I could hear in my mind all day was this poor animal howling laying on the road and all I kept thinking was what if this was your child. I guess what I am asking is for the traffic going up Hack Brown Road to please slow down. There is no need to drive on that road with such a vengeance. You have no idea that you might hit something. There is also a school on that street. Do you not know that there is a speed limit in school zones? It doesn’t matter what time it is, going Mach 5 will not allow you to slow down to avoid a bad error in life. So please, for your own mind and mine, please slow down and watch for the children as well as our animals on the road. There is no need to speed. M. Thornton Chilliwack

letters such as their’s which are critical. The advertising revenue assertion is out of line. The writer’s association with the BCMPPA explains their reasons for criticizing but they would be wise not to “shoot the messenger” of police mishandling, unacceptable behaviour and criminal acts. Also criticizing are psychologists, professors who were long-serving members of the Force previously, and former NCOs. As for the Knipstrom case, a Taser did contribute to his demise as did the use of a police issue baton(s) and from the head trauma viewed on television this device impacted with his skull which is in direct contravention of use of force training in relation to batons. Further contravention was the application of handcuffs behind while facedown restricting breathing and, with all of the members, fire department personnel and paramedics on scene, he should have been turned over on his back and both wrists handcuffed to the gurney railings. This is similar to the Robert Dzienski death at YVR when RCMP Cpl. Montie Robinson was viewed on the tape kneeling on the upper back of the deceased who also was cuffed restricting his breathing and the refusal to the YVR fireman to remove them and turn him over to allow him to resuscitate him while Robinson insisted that he remained a threat after being tasered five times. Knipstrom was in this position for approximately 39 minutes from removal at the scene to his cardiac arrest in CGH emergency. The 300-day overdue RCMP report concerning this matter being attributed to involvement in the 2010 Olympics is not believable but reluctance to make the facts public certainly is. As in the case of the McNabb family in Alberta, RCMP have at least acknowledged that they failed to connect the burned out remains of their motorhome and reported missing for five days in which it was raining when a forensic team may have obtained valuable evidence determining that they were in it bringing closure for fam-

Help protect our animals Editor: Re: World Farm Animals Day, Oct. 2. The BC SPCA would like to draw attention to a worldwide awareness day on behalf of farm animals. Celebrated on Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday and observed in dozens of countries, World Farm Animals Day raises awareness about the hundreds of millions of Canadian farm animals raised for food. Farmers face increasing pressure to supply plentiful, safe and inexpensive food. The resultant industrialization of animal production methods has led to many compromises in animal welfare. Whether it is overproduction due to genetics, the inability to express behaviours that promote wellbeing or long transportation distances, farm animals’ welfare is compromised for our benefit and reward. The purchase of ethically produced goods has become a top priority for Canadians in recent years. Whether the issue at hand is sustainable seafood, fairly traded coffee or farm animal welfare, there is an increasing expectation that major purchasers of these commodities take the ethics of production into account. An excellent way to know the source of your food is through certification. Alyssa Bell Stoneman SPCA certified program supervisor

Home opener Saturday First Nations honoured with new third jersey

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

“I think it’s important to recognize that this is the traditional territory of the Sto:lo and to share some of the culture.” While the Bruins have worn one-off special jerseys before, the third jerseys are brand new. The team is just one of several clubs debuting the new duds this season. It’s hardly a unique idea— National Hockey League teams have long sported third jerseys—but one that Canadian Hockey League franchises hope will increase excitement and profits. “It creates obviously some excitement and it gives the fans the chance to take these jerseys home as well,” said Douglas. For the Bruins, it also gives them a chance to give a further tip of the hat to the local First Nations community. “Everybody in Chilliwack knows how important the First Nations are to our community,” said Douglas. The First Nations night and Bruins tailgate party kicks off at 3:30 p.m.

Manning wearing ‘C’ again The Bruins also confirmed that defenceman Brandon Manning will again wear a second C on his chest this year. Manning will return as captain, a position he took over last January. Ryan Howse, Shayne Neigum and Kevin Sundher have been named as the Bruins’ assistant captains. Bruins acquire Raider The Chilliwack Bruins acquired the rights to the Prince Albert Raiders forward Marc Mackenzie Monday for a 12th round draft pick. The 16-year-old Mackenzie played last season in Junior B, with the Chase Chiefs of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League. The Prince Albert Herald reported that Mackenzie left Prince Albert Sunday in a dispute over ice time. Prior to leaving Prince Albert, Mackenzie made news when he fought off a burglary attempt at his billet home.

UFV golf team takes second The University of the Fraser Valley Cascades men’s golf team finished in second place at their own invitational tournament this weekend at the Chilliwack Golf & Country Club. The Cascades finished the two-day event with a team score of 592, five strokes behind the tournament Champion, VIU, with a team score of 587. The Cascades’ Mitch Lock won the individual category of tournament with a two-day score of 138. “It was great to see Mitch get the win. He’s been so close so many times, and he really deserved it this weekend going four-under-par in some tough conditions,” said UFV head coach Chris Bertram. The Cascades have now finished in the top three in both BCCAA golf tourna-

Jock scraps ments this season, first at Kwantlen last weekend and second this past weekend. “I was proud of how the boys bounced back after a disappointing opening round. We are right in the mix for the provincial title, and I am confident our depth is soon going to start showing through,” said Bertram. Cascades Brett Stewart and Brett Webster both finished tied for fifth with a two-day individual score of 146 while teammate Mike Broadfoot finished right behind them in eighth with a score of 147. Posse ambushed by Lunachicks The Chilliwack Lunachicks travelled to Pitt Meadows on Sunday and ambushed the Golden Ears Posse 7–0. The Lunachick charge was led by Andrea Feaver, who scored three times in the first half and twice more in the second half. Cara Brendzy scored twice and set up two other goals while Lisa Westeringh, Trudy Hall and Kerry Williams chipped in with assists. Keeper Lisa Hiemstra registered the shutout for Chilliwack.

he Chilliwack Bruins are back in town and looking fiercer than ever. The Bruins will play their first home game Saturday wearing the team’s brand new third jersey, which pays tribute to local First Nations. Not coincidentally, the opener is also First Nations night and will feature aboriginal entertainment, crafts and art before the game. The Bruins have long worn their First Nations-inspired second logo on their shoulders, but Saturday’s game marks its debut on the front of the sweater. The logo’s designer, local Sts’ailes artist Stan Greene, is looking forward to seeing his work on the Bruins’ chests. “It’ll be nice,” he told the Times. “The people identify with the emblems of the teams. I think it will be a nice attraction.” This will be the third First Nations night hosted by the Bruins, something that pleases Greene and other First Nations representatives. “They’ve recognized the people here and the art form,” he said, adding:

and special guest musician Inez will be featured on the concert pre-game concert stage. An aboriginal artisan market will feature demonstrations and quality crafts and a 50/50 fundraiser will raise money for the Sts’ailes recreational program. Players will receive a First Nations blessing and intermission entertainment will include Sasquatch Tours dancers and Sto:lo youth singing groups. Rock band Odds will also perform before the game.

Sports Bears mauled by Blue Giants Jalen Edwards rushed for 97 yards and two touchdowns as the Chilliwack Atom Blue Giants mauled the North Langley Bears in minor football action Saturday at Townsend Field. Edwards opened the game with a 41-yard kickoff return and Andrew Locke finished the drive with a 20-yard touchdown run to give the Giants an early lead they wouldn’t relinquish. Quarterback Brandt Davies completed four of six passes for 95 yards and a convert completion to Marley Edwards. On defence Colton Holt made seven solo tackles and forced the Bears back a total of 25 yards. He also made an assisted tackle for a five-yard loss. Other strong defence performances came from Michael Martin, Liam Dallas and James Wetmore. The Giants new kicker Mack Barton-Paquette averaged about 20 yards a kick, including a 33-yarder. With five games remaining the Blue Giants sit in the fourth and final playoff spot at 2-3. Jr. Bantam Red squad doubled The Chilliwack Junior Bantam Red Giants were doubled up 40-20 by the Abbotsford Falcons last weekend. After a very competitive first half, the Falcons pulled away in the second half from the Giants, who were missing several key offensive players. Thijs Duinveld led the way on offence for the Giants, churning up over 200 yards on the ground, including a 104-yard touchdown run. Making his debut as wide receiver, Sam Bolton hauled in two passes from Kirkland Kennedy. Cory Armstrong was also able to reach the endzone early in the first half. Helping to clear the path for the running backs were Rajah Sandu and Nick Dubusoff. The Giants twice repelled the Falcons on their goal line. Mike Folland, who also intercepted a pass, and Treyvon Walsh made several tackles throughout the game. Jr. Bantam Blue blast Bears The Junior Bantam Blue Giants fared better as they shut out the Langley Bears 46-0 on the strength of a dominant performance by quarterback Hunter Larocque. Larocque rushed for 143 yards on 11 carries with three touchdowns while also completing four of six pass attempts for 67 yards and another score. Running back Tristan Davis passed the century mark for the first time this season with 103 yards and two touchdowns. Wide receiver Riley Clayton caught a 53yard touchdown strike in the first half to put the game out of the Bears’ reach. On

Minor football defence, Chris Derksen and Vincent Giesbrecht led a front line that only surrendered four first downs. Davis, Larocque, and linebackers Emerson Smith and Lane Levesque led the way with seven tackles or assisted tackles each. Levesque also recovered two Langley fumbles. The Giants play Meadow Ridge this Saturday. Peewee Blue still undefeated The Chilliwack Peewee Blue Giants extended their record to 4-0 with a con-

vincing 44-14 win over the Langley Bears last Saturday. Running back Emilio Pineda had eight carries for 147 yards while Gabe Mannes scored two TDs on the ground. Quarterback Wyatt Uzick added three rushing scores and threw a touchdown strike to Spencer Breslin. Ethan Mastin recovered an onside kick for the Giants and added several tackles on defence. Defensive MVP Michael Lengert had three sacks and a fumble recovery. Game ball recipient Tommy Janzen added a fumble recovery and two sacks in his first start at outside linebacker. Evan McCracken, Adam Phillips and Sureet Pabbi also had sacks for the swarming Giants defence.

He’s lighting up the lamp CHIEFS, from page 1

Troy Landreville/LANGLEY ADVANCE

Since joining the Langley Chiefs near the start of the British Columbia Hockey League season, Darnell Dyck has enjoyed scoring success while playing on a line with Josh Myers and Matt Ius (background left and right). the ice alongside the older, and larger Chiefs. On road trips, he would climb aboard the team bus. Smyl remembers Darnell starting at the front of the bus but, as he got older, moving further and further back, towards the players. By the time he reached his early teens, Darny—as he had been nicknamed by Smyl— had become the Chiefs’ stick boy. He was still living and dying with the Chiefs, but now he stood on the bench. At the same time, he was slowly learning what it takes to be a junior-level hockey player. First on the list was a lot of hard work. Darnell started playing minor hockey at the age of six, and Smyl was there to watch. Over the years, and in what could be the longest scouting assignment in hockey history, Smyl took in dozens of

Darnell’s games. While the kid was good, there was a question as to whether he was good enough to be a Chief. “You have to give Darnell a ton of credit because, as a younger player, he was an average player, a kid who really had to work hard to get any opportunities at the rep level,” said Smyl. Douglas, though, praises the Chiefs, and Smyl in particular, for helping his son evolve into both a juniorcalibre hockey player, and a responsible young man. “He’d been through a lot of adversity in his life,” said Douglas, now the Chilliwack Bruins’ marketing director. The support of the Chiefs—a second family—was critical. “He was raised in that atmosphere where he had some very good role models.” See CHIEFS, Page 15

hockey team that he belongs on and should have been on from the get go. He is here now, he belongs here and is well-deserving.” The response? “Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.” To fully grasp the importance of the call, you have to go back to the era of Peter Zurba and the Centennial Cup-winning Chilliwack Chiefs. Douglas was a single father juggling family life, a job at the radio station, and play-byplay duties with the Chiefs. So he asked Smyl if he could bring Darnell to the rink. He ended up bringing the Chiefs to his son. “I remember [Peter Zurba] coming to my house and them reading bedtime stories,” remembers Douglas. “That’s how tight we were. The guys would come by and hang out.” (Darnell’s favourite books followed a team of young hockey players who encountered danger while skating to victory around the world.) Smyl and Douglas became fast friends, as did their sons. In Grade 2 or 3, Darnell became an instant hit with his classmates at F.G. Leary elementary school when he brought along Smyl for showand-tell. Later Darnell would become Jeff Tambellini’s “guardian angel,” a program through which fans partner up with a player and exchange gifts. As Smyl would say a decade later, “the kid, he has a Chief tattooed on his heart.” Near the end of practices, Darnell would frequently hit

Sports CHIEFS, from page 13 When Darnell was cut from a team—and it happened several times—Smyl would reassure father and son with the mantra: “It’s a marathon, not a sprint.” Cut from the major midget team one year, Darnell led it in scoring the next. He was determined, growing, and gifted around the net. But that progress almost derailed his Chiefs career. Two years ago Smyl thought Darnell needed more seasoning in Junior B before making the nowLangley Chiefs. The Surrey Eagles— the Chiefs archrivals—thought otherwise and snatched up the six-foot-two 17-year-old. Playing as a 17-year-old Darnell would score four goals that year, the first against Harvey Smyl’s Chiefs. “It was really weird playing against them,” Darnell said of that first game

Worked for months to land the rights against Langley. The following year he was traded to the Trail Smoke Eaters, for whom he scored 14 goals. But Trail struggled and this June, Darnell was again dealt in a five-player trade to the Brooks Bandits in Alberta. Darnell, though, didn’t want to leave British Columbia and asked the coach there to transfer his rights back to the west coast. For months, Smyl worked behind the scenes to land the rights to his old stick boy. Finally, on Sept. 9, the old coach called “Darny” to tell him that he was a Chief, again. Making that call, said Smyl, “was extremely gratifying because he’s a family friend.” But it wasn’t just altruism that spurred Smyl. “The kid can score,” he said when asked what

e-mails from ex-Chiefs—had preDarnell brings to his squad. Two weekends ago, Darnell joined dicted tears. When the moment his new teammates on a road trip came, it didn’t disappoint the proud north to Prince George and Ques- father, despite the losing outcome of nel, where he played his first games the game. “The result wearing the Chief. wasn’t what we “It was the best feeling that I ever “It was the best feeling wanted but it was a very, very proud had in my life,” said that I ever had in my moment to see Darnell of pulling life.” him skate onto on his sweater. “It was awesome.” Darnell Dyck the ice as a Chief,” Douglas told the It helped that he Ti m e s . “ T h e r e scored five points in those first two games. Last Thurs- were definitely some emotions.” Darnell, ultra-competitive as day, the Chiefs returned to Langley to play their home opener in front of always, was dejected about the loss 2,000 fans, including Darnell’s father following the game. The following day, he told the Times that the and grandmother. Prior to the game, Douglas—who moment was exhilarating, but also has been receiving congratulatory a relief.

Now, having achieved his decadelong hockey dream, Darnell has set ambitious new goals for himself. Despite having never scored more than 30 points in a BCHL season, he’s aiming to double that number and earn a Division 1 scholarship with a major American university. Smyl says that to be a top-six forward in the BCHL his young charge will need to play a more consistent game and put the puck in the net on a regular basis. So far things are looking up on that front: through six games, Darnell has scored four goals, added five assists and sits 17th in league scoring. There are still more than 50 games to play. Defenders to check. Buses to ride. Pucks to shoot. But after making one dream come true, one gets the sense that Darnell isn’t about to let a little thing like a goaltender get in his way.

Faith Today

Wake up your guardian angel BY VERN TOMPKE Vineyard Community Church

recently had the privilege of whale watching off the coast of Vancouver. There is something primal, something thrilling, in having a killer whale breach next to the boat—and hearing nothing but the sound of their breathing as it surfaces. I have also seen killer whales in the aquarium doing smart pet tricks but, to be honest, it just isn’t the same. Being out on the open ocean kind of ruins the aquarium experience. One interesting fact about killer

whales is that most male captive killer whales, and some females, have a dorsal fin that is partially or completely collapsed to one side. This collapsed fin is something you will rarely, if ever, see in the wild. Although the reasons for this are not completely understood, one commonly accepted explanation is that the fin collapse comes from having to swim in small circles due to the inadequate space captivity brings. It makes me wonder, how many of us are swimming around with our dorsal fin collapsed? I picked up a great book recently entitled Wild Goose Chase that

showed that they lived with this sense of adventure. The last descriptor that any of them would have described their lives by would be word “boring!” As they sought to live according to the stirrings of the spirit, all heaven broke loose around them. Helen Keller, the blind author, said this: “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.” I guess as I look around for what passes to be Christian living (or any living for that matter), I often wonder, since when did we settle for nice, safe, comfortable and predictable lives? How many of us are swimming around in

explores this thought. The author, Mark Batterson, describes that the early Celtic Christians of Ireland had a name for the Holy Spirit—An Geadh-Glas or “the Wild Goose.” I think they were onto something for even Jesus describes the Spirit as a “wind that blows where it wants to and you hear the sound of it, but you don’t know where the wind comes from or where it is going” (John Chapter 3). Jesus goes on to say that this should be the case with every person who is born from the Spirit. Even a cursory examination of the lives of the early followers of Jesus

an aquarium when it could be that one end of the aquarium opens out into the ocean? So to answer the question found in Batterson’s book: do angels yawn? I don’t believe they do since they are surrounded with the adventure of what God is doing in the world around them. Perhaps, however, our guardian angel yawns—perhaps he’s even fallen asleep. Time to wake him up! ◗ Vern Tompke is the Team Coach at the Vineyard Community Church and welcomes your comments at vtompke@shaw.ca.

Speaking solidifies thinking and allows information to be stored in long term memory for future recall, she said. “I’ve seen that happen in my class, and it just blows me away, the growth that I’ve seen and the results.” Ultimately, however, believing in her students and getting them to believe in themselves, is at the bottom of all Beauchene’s strategies. As intangible as that sounds, for Darian, learning to believe in himself in Miss Beauchene’s class last year is what he said turned his reading scores and his selfesteem around. For Wiebe, those kinds of stories are what give improved district reading scores meaning. “It’s really about the people behind the numbers,” she said.

Burnaby senior stuck at local hospital BY JANAYA FULLER-EVANS Burnaby NOW

hen Burnaby resident Margaret Bailie fell and broke her leg while vacationing in Point Roberts, Wash., she was fortunate to be rushed over the border to the hospital in Delta. But that was the last of the 86-year-old’s luck, according to daughter Colleen Mullen. “We were going out for dinner for my sister’s 40th birthday, and my mother fell on the way back,” Mullen said, adding the family has a summer cottage in Point Roberts. That was on Sept. 11. The fire department took her

directly to Delta. But the next day, Bailie was transferred to Chilliwack General Hospital and the family wasn’t informed, she said. Mullen said she was told that Chilliwack was the hospital on call, taking patients for surgery in the region at the time, which is why Bailie wasn’t transferred to a hospital closer to her home in Burnaby. The journey was hard on Bailie, who was given a lot of pain medication to manage the trip, Mullen said. “By the time they got there, her vitals were very low, she had low sodium levels and she was having trouble breathing,” she said. “She went straight to the ICU.”

By the next evening, Sept. 13, Bailie was stable enough to have surgery. She stayed in the ICU until Sept. 16, Mullen said, and then the orthopedic surgeon signed off on her case. But the family was told there was a new rule requiring patients to stay at the hospital where they’ve had their procedure for 14 days, Mullen said. The patient can only be transferred to a hospital near their home when a bed becomes available after that point, she added. The situation has been hard on Bailie, who has suffered off and on from depression. “My mother’s not eating,” M u l l e n s a i d . “ I t ’s v e r y

frustrating. “We need to get her back to our community . . . get her on the road to recovery.” She was visiting her mother every day but now the family alternates visits. It is a two-tothree hour trip for them. As of Sept. 27, Mullen had been told there was no transfer in sight. Mullen has contacted her MLA and is hoping to hear from Fraser Health on the matter, she said. “It’s the most ridiculous system I’ve ever heard of,” she said. There isn’t a 14-day stay policy on surgeries in place for the region, according to Joan Marshall, spokesperson for Fraser Health.

When is it best to limb trees? Q: This spring we lost two of our cottonwood trees from the windstorm. They are very tall and we have six more in the backyard. When is the best time to reduce some branches from the trees? Jaya E-mail A: Cottonwoods can be hard to live with. They grow extremely tall and tend to crash down in windstorms because they have shallow roots. In old cottonwoods, rot can develop and large branches or even the whole top can topple in high winds. The dormant season, late fall and winter, is the best time to prune them, but pruning may be the wrong thing to do in this case. If your remaining cottonwoods are tall, old trees, pruning any of the huge branches may make them more unstable. Moderate pruning of all the branches to preserve symmetry will make them prone to rotting and more dangerous in the

ANNE MARRISON

Green Thumb long run. If you are in a newly-built home, it’s possible that land-clearing has exposed the trees much more to the force of the wind. It’s very likely the next few winters will see some of the others falling as well – maybe in places that can cause you serious problems. I think you should ask an arborist to visit and evaluate whether these trees are dangerous. It’s possible the safest thing may be to get these trees taken down before nature does it for you. But removal won’t deprive you of cottonwoods or that delightful honey smell they exude in the spring. Suckers will spring up from the roots and these young trees

will be safe for many years. Q: I have a question about a plant in Coquitlam. It’s about six feet tall with reddish, hollow stalks and small purplish flowers like an orchid at the top of the plant. The seed pods have a skinny, pear shape and when they are touched, they burst and the seeds fly.” Ray Reynolds E-mail A: The plant you’ve seen sounds like ‘Policeman’s Helmet’ (Impatiens glandulifera). It’s said to come from the hill country of India. It’s a really beautiful plant, but it’s on invasive lists because when it gets established it grows in dense stands that crowd out native plants. People often filch a bit from the wild and plant it in their gardens – but it can be a problem to control even there. Q: I just received my little Rose of Sharon ‘Freedom’ through mail order and was advised to plant it as soon

as possible. With the current cold weather, should I set it out now or repot it in a bigger pot and store it in the garage until next spring.” Funn Loong E-mail A: The Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) will do best removed from the pot and planted outside this fall in a sheltered sunny spot. Protect it from cold by piling leaves, straw or bark mulch on top of the soil around your plant. Remove the mulch in spring after frost. If you garden only in containers, putting it in a bigger pot is a good idea. In the garage you will need to be very careful to water so that the soil stays gently moist. In very cold snaps you may need to bring it inside until the worst of the cold is over. ◗ Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions. Send them to her c/o amarrison@shaw.ca.

Renovating for accessibility

Right renovations can dramatically change quality of life for physically disabled

from major to minor, that might be needed to make a home accessible. And those renovations are often unique to each person and their own circumstances, Ettenberg said. “You need to do your own planning,” Ettenberg said. While municipal governments mandate that some units in new developments be built to flex-housing or accessibility standards, that usually means a number of minor changes.

At Home

Your Home Not as expensive as people may think Design Dreams Can Come True. DISABLED, from page 24

Jabeen Janmohamed of the CMHC. A similar program called Home Adaptations for Seniors Independence provides grants for those over the age of 65 living on a low income. Finding contractors who have the special skills to create an accessible home is another problem. Ettenberg remembers the last round of renovations she made to her home. “I had five different contractors,” she said. The CMHC also asked her to get three quotes for the work, but many of the smaller home contractors didn’t

want to give quotes for relatively minor jobs. A recent entrant on the accessibility renovation scene is Peak Interiors, a Vancouver-based company that has taken a page from European innovations in the field. “Everybody thinks it’s super-expensive, but it isn’t,” said Nancy Paris, the CEO of Peak. Her firm works with contractors to create multi-level countertops, fridges, stove ranges, and even cabinets that drop from the ceiling. “You can have a standalone sink in an island that’s height adjustable,” Paris said. It requires getting some flexible

hoses, and building in a motor to the countertop. Counters can be adjusted by built-in controls, by remote, or possibly even by a smartphone in the near future, Paris said. That type of adjustable equipment is especially useful in a home shared by one person in a wheelchair and one able-bodied person, Paris said. It allows them to adjust sinks or counters to the level comfortable for them. Paris said she enjoys the work because it allows people to do more— too many disabled people are cut off from using their kitchens because they have not been designed to their needs.

At Home

Throw out the rules when designing home BY MARC ATIYOLIL Canwest News Service Dear Marc: I am horrible at designing my home. Every time I try to design a room in my house, it doesn’t turn out quite right. I then get discouraged till I get the design bug again and give it another try and still fail miserably. What am I missing? I follow all the design rules to a T and still the spaces seem to be lacking something. Help! - Kate Dear Kate: Have you ever seen an abstract painting that was painted by the rules? It looks like a paint by number. The strokes are predictable, and the end result lacks spontaneity and vibrancy. The same can be said for design. If you want to design a mediocre space, follow the rules to a T, but if you want to push the boundaries of design and create a true designer space, learn the rules, then throw the rules out the window. Although I must caution that it’s important you fully understand the rules of design before throwing them out, since only a well-trained eye can pull this off. As you have designed numerous spaces before, this project will be a perfect fit. There are certain rules in design that don’t change with the trends and must be used in all design projects, whether it be a French villa, a vacation cottage or a personal home. The rules of design that apply to the function and flow of traffic in a room should always be embraced, as there’s no point in a pretty space no one can use.

To determine if the design rule applies to the function of a space or its esthetic elements, ask yourself:Will this rule make the space usable and improve the experience of its occupants? If yes, then the rule applies to the function of the room and should be used in all future projects. If not, then the rule can be altered and modified to fit your personal style. To find your personal style, look at your wardrobe. Fashion seems to be the obvious expression of one’s personal style. If you like to mix and match certain things and make them work to make a statement, then the same can be done in your designer space by mixing and matching patterns, colours and textiles. The key to successfully integrating different objects in a space is to have everything blend together, yet stand on its own. For instance, this can be easily achieved by using a red lamp in your space, because your accent colour is red, but having the lamp reflect a different era than the sofa. Successful designers use this technique in many spaces. This is what we call a transitional design style. Transitional design uses eclectic elements in a space. The designer uses them so they work together and create a unique look. Design today is about pushing the boundaries and creating something truly unique. What many designs lack is spontaneity and a sense of experimentation. ◗ Marc Atiyolil is the editor-in-chief of Canadian Home Trends.

Simple and sombre tones Drapes can help keep energy costs down

BY JESSICA KERR Special to the Times

here are several things that should be taken into consideration when looking at making a change to what adorns your windows. Trends for 2010 reflect the economic climate with design elements leaning more towards simplistic and sombre tones. Flashy improvisations and expensive hardware are being replaced with unconventional alternatives. The choices are almost endless with hard elements such as shutters, shades and blinds made from metal, wood or vinyl; and the softer side of things with sheers, roman shades and drapes. To keep costs down, look for recreational designs instead of choosing professional off-the-shelf designs. Making creative additions to a basic framework give new drapery an exclusive look. Also keep ventilation and location in mind. Drapes and blinds can help keep energy costs down while adding another decor element to a room. Insulated drapes can help keep out drafts during colder months, while experts recommend going with lighter or sheer drapes in a room that does not get a lot of sunlight. A lighter window treatment will add a sunnier touch to a room lacking in natural light. On the other hand, the right window treatment can help reduce UV damage to furnishings, as well as reduce glare on electronics in a room that gets a lot of direct sunlight. Layered window treatments allow homeowners to control the amount of light coming into a room as well as how much of a room is visible from the outside. Keeping the functionality in mind, as well as choosing colours, fabrics and materials that will complement the other elements in a room, will ensure an attractive yet beneficial window treatment.

Inez nominated once again

hilliwack singer Inez Jasper has once again been nominated for Aboriginal People’s Choice Music Awards (APCMA). Inez is a Sto:lo singer/songwriter who has garnered increasing success over the years. She is one of three British Columbians nominated for APCMA’s who have collectively sent out a call asking for fan votes. Chief Otis Jasper of the Soowahlie Indian Band, Chief Ian Campbell of the Squamish Nation, Chief Justin George of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation and President Bruce Dumont of the Métis Nation asked for the support from all indigenous people, B.C. residents and music fans alike to discover and vote for Inez as well as Tewanee Joseph and Colette Trudeau, in a press

release issued this week. The chiefs want to promote the three First Nations musicians to help provide young members of the community with proof that with focus and dedication all dreams can come true. Inez told the Times her own focus and dedication helped her dream come true. “There was a time when my dream seemed so far away but now after a few years of focused work the dream has turned into a viable career,” she told the Times via e-mail. “I wouldn’t be where I’m at right now without my family, my education and a lot of hustle.” Four-time APCMA winner and 2009 Juno Award nominee Inez leads the way with two nominations; Aborigi-

nal Female Entertainer of the Year and Aboriginal Songwriter of the Year, followed by Tewanee Joseph’s group Bitterly Divine for Best New Artist and Colette Trudeau for Best Rock CD. The Aboriginal Peoples Choice Music Awards will take place at the MTS Centre in Winnipeg on Nov. 5. The APCMA’S will showcase the best in Aboriginal Music from across North America and will be televised live on the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN) and Bell Express Vu. Inez and Trudeau will perform live at the APCMA’S. Fan voting for the APCMA’s closes on Oct. 6. ◗ To vote for Inez go to: aboriginalpeopleschoice.com/artists/inez.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reﬂections Aries March 21 - April 19: A powerful week for relationships,marriage,businesspartnerships,dealing with the public, opportunities, possible fame. What transpires now will have “sweet echoes” for three months. Love relationships are helped by October’s high level of sexual desire. Business partnerships might go through a process of re-arrangement, buyout, or balancing of assets/ownership. (All through October, with “lingering trailers” to January 2011.) Be diplomatic, ﬂexible; if you insist on your way, you might turn opportunities into refusals, potential partners into competitors. Romance Sunday! Taurus April 20-May 20: The monthly emphasis lies on employment, chores, machinery, dependents and health. A new job can arise Wednesday onward. An important affectionate relationship might be developing – although you could begin to have a few mild doubts about your commitment to this bond. The same might be said about a contract, negotiation, relocation opportunity, or litigation. This indecision is due to a temporary factor. By late November, December, you’ll return to certainty about bonding with a person, place, agreement, etc., so remain optimistic. Excitement or disagreement grows Friday/Saturday. Gemini May 21-June 20: Romance (with a coworker?) pleasure, beauty are at the top of your wish list. You’re on a winning streak – you can succeed in speculation, gaming, sports and creative ventures. All these, from romance to creativity, are marked by a new sobriety, slowness and carefulness. Good, these will eventually bring depth, strength and durability to any love or venture you undertake. Your health needs attention. Your career ambitions will get an autumn boost (be active but patient: fastest progress comes in December). Rest early week. Wednesday to Saturday brings romantic (et al) excitement!

6602

Cancer June 21-July 22: The accent lies on home, children, security, gardening, nutrition, Mother Nature, foundations and basics. A streak of romance runs through your days (e.g., this Friday/Saturday) – right into next January. If you’re happily married, you’ll bask in love of children, creative joys, nature’s beauty, sports and/or simple pleasures, speculation, gambling, etc. Chase money Sunday. A Monday disagreement might be building with your mate over domestic/property concerns. It’s minor, but points to larger issues. Run errands, chat Tuesday/Wednesday. Friday p.m. starts an intriguing weekend! Leo July 23-Aug. 22: It’s a busy time but not an important time, Leo. Do paperwork, errands, chat, travel, email, schedule (especially Wednesday/ Thursday) but rest on a deeper level. Pause to watch nature, to meditate, contemplate, or simply to drink in family joys. (You’re a sweet’n’sour mixture in domestic arenas – after October, only the sweet will remain.) You shine Sunday, your charisma and energy surge. Chase money carefully Monday to Wednesday. (Your work habits need an overhaul: work smarter, not harder.) Friday afternoon begins a long, deep, renewing weekend – family reunions are blessed! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Money, earnings, buying/selling ﬁll this month. Your days bring interesting errands, casual meetings, paperwork, communications – a casual friendship could develop into a light romance (likely Oct. 8-10). You might sense that under a surface of free and easy ﬂirtation a deeper “turn” is lurking – and it is. (Ditto in all areas – lightness hides depths. E.g., light communications or errands/travel could lead to an investment.) For students and intellectuals, October is a superb month for research and writing. Rest, lie low Sunday. Your energy and charisma rise Monday eve to Wednesday.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Your charisma, energy, effectiveness and confidence soar, especially Wednesday afternoon to the weekend. Get out, start major projects, tackle difficult situations. See and be seen – be there in person. You’ll impress others. A sensual relationship attracts you all autumn – or you might pursue a luxury purchase. Either way, don’t be discouraged if mild delays occur next week to midto late November: success will still be the outcome. Sunday’s social, happy. But retreat, rest and plan mid-day Monday to mid-day Wednesday. If you have to insist Monday, it signals future incompatibility. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Rest, lie low, replenish energies. Life is sending a mixed message: your sexual/partnership magnetism is high, but the energy you need to act on it is low. Reflect on what you really want in love, so when your energy rises (Oct. 23 onward) you can chase the right person. There’s no rush – your unusual attractiveness will last into early January. Meanwhile, attend to neglected duties, governmental or institutional contacts, and administrative chores. Follow charitable urges. Drink spiritual breaths, envision your future. Tuesday, happiness! Saturday highlights that magnetism! Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Wishes come true, but in a quiet, sober way. Optimism, light romance, popularity, entertainment and social joys fill this month. Many of your deepest desires stay hidden, which can lead to a clandestine attraction, or might simply leave you quiet and contemplative despite your happiness. Realize that now to late 2012, your real wish is for money. Start thinking of ways to make this one come true. Your real estate luck returns, now to late January. Sunday’s mellow, loving. Monday brings a disagreement about money and the future. Midweek offers joy, friends. Rest, Friday eve, Saturday.

Oct. 3 - Oct. 9 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The accent lies on ambition, career, prestige relationships, your status in the community.You’ll meet with bigwigs or authorities, or feel their influence, especially Wednesday to Friday. If meeting, put on your charm – your social skills are tops now into next January. You might meet a “just right” romantic prospect in a group – if Monday to Wednesday, he/she will be obviously drawn to you. If late month – Oct. 22 to 24 — you will be the pursuer. Life’s depths, sex, finances, major commitments intrigue you Sunday. Wisdom Monday/Tuesday. Happiness Friday eve, Saturday! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: For you, October is always loving, gentle, wise and compassionate. But this October your sweet mood can be slightly sullied by either 1) a temptation to use romance as a rung on the ladder of ambition, or 2) frustration that true love is unavailable. Realize that temptation and denial/ frustration are two manifestations of the same thing. (True love is never denied, but blocked by temptation.) Or, you might find true love now, especially Sunday (opposites attract) Monday-Wednesday (lust) Wednesday-Friday (gentle mind-meld) or Friday/ Saturday (nervous romance). An interesting week! Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: You swim in life’s depths now: subconscious urges rise, your dreams intrigue, hunches prove accurate – rely on them when making consequential decisions. Commitments are serious, in finances, intimacy, lifestyle areas. What you do now can change your life. That applies particularly to love of a marriage/wedding kind, and to legal affairs touching on earnings and/or possessions (Friday/Saturday). A few months ago you had powerful ambitions, optimism about your prospects – grab those again, because you’re on a lucky four-month roll in career, worldly ambitions. Opportunities Tuesday! timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
