Chilliwack a ‘crime-ridden’ city BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

national magazine is calling Chilliwack the ninth most “crime-ridden” city in the country. That’s the bad news. The good news is Chilliwack has actually dropped down Macleans’ annual crime rankings list, on which it sat

in sixth place last year. Chilliwack has a “crime score” 58 per cent above the national average, according to the report, which is based on Statistics Canada’s Crime Severity Index. That index

uses police reports to determine how serious crime is in a given city. It assigns more weight to the most serious of crimes like homicide. Chilliwack can thank property crime for its dubious distinc-

tion. For the second straight year, Chilliwack has the highest rate of break-and-enters in the province. The local B&E rate is double the national average. Chilliwack may be bad, but the

report identifies four other British Columbia cities with even worse crime: Prince George (first), Victoria (second), Kelowna (sixth), and Surrey (eighth). Chilliwack residents can also take solace that property crime is dropping. Last year’s first-place B&E ranking relied on crime stats See CRIME, Page 7

OUTDOORS HOOKED ON FISHING . . . AND A TREE

Passersby on the Rotary Trail along the Vedder River admire a happy fisherman’s catch as he tries to unhook his line from a tree branch. The sockeye salmon bounty on the Fraser River is over for this season, so now anglers have flocked to the Vedder/Chilliwack system where coho and spring salmon are running. That record Fraser bounty meant quite a mess was left behind on the Fraser so some local anglers have organized a cleanup on Oct. 16. To pitch in just show up at the West End Auto Body shop at 45825 Airport Rd. in Chilliwack, between 7:30 and 9 a.m. on Oct. 16, for coffee and staging of volunteers.

rift over class size and class composition is developing between teachers and administrators in the Chilliwack school district, according to data in the Superintendent’s Report on Class Size and Composition presented to the board of education Tuesday. About 70 per cent of middle and high school teachers consulted this fall disagreed with their principals over whether the size and makeup of their classes were appropriate for student learning. That number has jumped almost 40 per cent since last year. “It’s one of the only avenues teachers have to advocate for their students and say this isn’t working, this isn’t right,” said Chilliwack Teachers’ Association president Katharin Midzain. One main source of contention is the number of designated special needs students (students with See CLASS, Page 6

The Fraser Valley is an “epidemic waiting to happen.” Fraser Valley Health Region director Susan Davis voiced that worry after a report from medical health officer Dr. Gillian Arsenault showed a third of the children in the valley weren’t immunized. Arsenault said only 68 per cent of two-year-olds in the valley have had the fourshots against whooping cough—the second lowest rate in British Columbia.

McCammon Grade 5 student Adam Downey gets his brain working “smarter and faster” with the Fast ForWord reading program being piloted at his school for the next 10 weeks. pathway. That’s what we have to do. Building a pathway in the brain is not usually a one-time thing. You need to do it over and over again.” Fast ForWord is already being used in a number of B.C. school districts including Surrey, Burnaby, Coquitlam and the Sunshine Coast, and some districts report students have gained an average of one grade level in 10 weeks using the program. Tracking student progress is a priority during Chilliwack’s test run with the program, according to Ullyot, and the students at McCammon have undergone a number of reading tests that will be repeated in 10 weeks. “We’ll have lots of pre-test and posttest data, to have a look at the gains that are made,” said Ullyot. The pilot group at McCammon was picked by classroom teachers, and students will rotate onto the laptops five at a time every day. Before opening the computers, they

also learned a bit about what will be happening to their brains through the course of the program. “They’re excited to make their brains work smarter and faster,” said Ullyot. Once she’s done at McCammon, Ullyot and the mobile Fast ForWord lab, which cost the district $44,000, will set up shop at A.D. Rundle after Christmas. There will be enough time in the school year to run the program again after that, but district principal Susan Edgcombe, who is in charge of the pilot, said the district will take some time to look at data from the first two schools before deciding on a third. “There’s tons of people that want on board,” she said. One school that won’t be waiting around is Strathcona elementary. That school bought its own Fast ForWord software and laptop for $8,000 and will start the program on one station this month.

group of McCammon elementary school students were the first to flip open seven new school district laptops this month and start piloting a reading program that could help them gain a year’s worth of reading improvement in 10 weeks. Thirty-five students with reading difficulties at the school were introduced to Fast ForWord, a computer-based program designed to help them process sounds more quickly. “One of the strongest indicators of reading success is what we call phonological awareness—being aware of the distinct sounds in language, being able to hear them and being able to manipulate them,” said Jane Ullyot, the district school psychologist facilitating the pilot project. So the McCammon students, ranging from Grades 2 to 6, will spend 50 minutes every day for the next 10 weeks working through interactive game-format exercises that train them to differentiate sounds. The approach is based on brain research that has found many kids with reading difficulties lack strong pathways in their brains to process sounds quickly and efficiently, and that makes it hard for them to link speech sounds to the letters and combinations of letters used in written language. Repeating Fast ForWord exercises actually lays down pathways in the brain to make faster processing possible. Repetition is key. Ullyot likens it to trampling a clear path through a wheat field. “If you walk through that field one time, chances are that the wheat will spring right back up again and you won’t be able to see where you’ve walked,” she said. “What you need to do is make several trips in the same path before you can actually see that

Our legal aid system is Smile, You May be on Camera broke and needs fixing BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

fter enduring increasing abuse, leaving her husband and failing to obtain custody of her children, a Chilliwack woman is headed to court this winter alone after exhausting the resources of her legal aid lawyer. The woman, whom the Times is not naming for legal reasons, was just one of several people who told a public commission that the legal aid system in British Columbia is broken and needs fixing. The Public Commission on Legal Aid wrapped up three weeks of public consultations by hosting its final meeting Tuesday at the Coast Hotel in Chilliwack. It was there that the woman told commissioner Leonard Doust how she left her controlling and abusive husband and sought help, first from an advocate with the Ann Davis Society, and then from a legal aid lawyer. Her first legal aid lawyer was “phenomenal,” but declined the woman’s case because of its complexity. The next was also well-qualified. But now the woman has exhausted her allocated legal aid hours. The woman described a “hellish rollercoaster” and said that, despite learning much about the legal system, she cannot possibly grasp all the issues on the table as she fights for access to her four children. However, the woman may have been fortunate just to get legal aid in the first place. Anouk Crawford, a legal advocate with the Ann Davis Society, told the commission many women in need are denied legal aid because they have not been physically assaulted. “Their abuser can abuse in a variety of ways: psychologically, emotionally, financially,” Crawford told the commission. “But if the abuser had the intelligence not to hit, or they had the intelligence to threaten just to the boundary of an assault charge, my clients do not qualify for legal aid. It doesn’t matter how poor they are or how terrified they are.” Crawford—a former lawyer herself—said that advocates can provide valuable advice for low-income people trying to navigate the courts. But she said they can’t be seen as a substitute for lawyers.

“I implore them to beg and borrow from everyone that they can so that they can find a lawyer.” But she added: “Very few of my clients are able to do that and very few of my clients are able to access legal aid.” Lawyers, she said, are valued not just for their expertise. Crawford said that many abused women are afraid of speaking in front of their erstwhile abusers. Having a lawyer to speak on their behalf can be the difference between a successful and an unsuccessful court visit. Sometimes pro bono lawyers can pick up the slack, Bruce Fraser, chair of Access Pro Bono, told the commission, but not always. Fraser’s group hosts clinics around the province at which lawyers offer their services for free. But pro bono lawyers simply can’t suitably address many of the complicated situations facing those in need. “All too often we have identified a legitimate need only to leave the client high and dry.” Fraser accused the provincial government of cutting funds to “poverty law,” which is a loose term encompassing various legal services—including financial, marital and criminal law—required by those in need. “We don’t know what the plan is,” he said. “We have been attempting to shoulder the load for 10 years and it’s getting heavier and heavier. He continued: “What we would like to see the commission address is the gap between legal advice and representation. “We have the best pro bono system in Canada but it cannot lead to a dead end.” The public commission has been travelling throughout British Columbia seeking input on how legal aid can be made more sustainable, and how it can better serve the people who need help accessing the Canadian court system Chilliwack was the last stop for commissioner Leonard Doust, who hopes to complete his report and recommendations by the early spring. When Doust was named commissioner, he knew the legal aid system had flaws. But he didn’t know just how widespread those problems were. “I’m surprised at the extent of it really,” he told the Times. “There is a lot of neglect in terms of the provision of legal services, and it’s having a big effect.” Some people aren’t allowed to use a system they need. Others are entitled to help, he said, but don’t know how to access it. And, he added, “sometimes when they do access it, they run into a brick wall.”

‘Suspicious’ nature to fire BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

he Chilliwack RCMP’s serious crimes unit is investigating a Wednesday house fire that police are describing as “suspicious.” Firefighters arrived at the 45000 block of Railway Avenue at 8:30 p.m. to find an unoccupied 700-square-foot home fully involved along with an attached shed. The fire was knocked down but not before the house and an attached shed and carport sustained heavy damage. On Thursday, police and fire investigators were picking through the wreckage. Fire officials say there is no apparent connection between that blaze and another fire Tuesday. Firefighters responded to a structure fire Tuesday morning around 6:15 a.m. in an

The law recommends no more than three, but since 2008, the number of Grade 8 to 12 classes in Chilliwack with more than three IEPs has more than double from 114 to 240. Some teachers in the district report having as many as eight special needs students in a class, according to Midzain. Although teachers have to be consulted if their class is to include more than three IEPs, their consent is not required to go ahead. “The teachers have the right to agree or disagree as a result of the consultation,” said superintendent Corrine McCabe. “The agreement or disagreement of the teachers does not make the class in violation or not in violation [of the legislation]. It is the professional judgment of the principal about whether or not that class is suitable for the kind of class, the kind of students and the kind of supports that are available.” That approach has some teachers dismissing the process as pointless, said Midzain, but she maintains the consultations serve a purpose. “It might not change the numbers at all,

Asked if she agreed principals were the best people to decide what is appropriate for student learning, Midzain declined to answer. Class sizes are another vexing issue for Chilliwack teachers. The number of Grade 8 to 12 classes with more than 30 students (the recommended cap) has jumped from 87 to 128 in two years, and Midzain said she finds the district’s rationales for the oversized classes “disconcerting.” “They to me don’t speak about the educational merits,” she said. “They simply speak about the legal requirements or the management requirements.” Despite the increase in classes with more than three IEPs or more than the recommended number of students, however, McCabe said class size and class composition in the district are still appropriate for student learning because of the extra resources put in at high-need schools. “In many of the classes with five and six and seven IEPs, they’re small class sizes,” she said. “There’s EA support.”

CRIME, from page 1 from 2007. Those numbers have fallen considerably, according to RCMP Insp. Grant Wilson. And he said that trend has continued this year. He told the Times that business break-andenters are down 22 per cent from last year, while residential B&Es are down two per cent. “We’re aware that yes, property crime in and around Chilliwack is an issue . . . and that’s why we’re actively and aggressively attacking it.” Chilliwack mayor Sharon Gaetz was surprised to see the report, especially because of those decreasing numbers. “It is disheartening to read this kind of article,” she said. Gaetz said the city has made public safety

canvassers signed up as of Tuesday, according to a Fight HST press release. The “contest” pushed by the Fight HST campaign is to see which ridings can sign up the most canvassers. The top three will be the first to initiate formal recall campaigns against the sitting Liberal MLAs in question. For recall to be successful, campaigners need to gather signatures from 40 per cent of registered voters at the time of the last election. That number for Les’s riding of Chilliwack would be 14,332. The Fight HST campaign against the HST gathered 6,976 signatures in Chilliwack.

Drugs a problem a priority, with 29 per cent of spending going directly to law enforcement. But while the ninth-place finish may not be something to brag about, Gaetz says it is helpful in showing that more work needs to be done to address drug addiction issues in Chilliwack. “We know that break-and-enters are directly attributable to drug use,” she told the Times. “We know that’s an issue.” Those with drug problems often turn to crime to finance their addictions. That could mean selling sex or goods stolen from local businesses or homes.

Friends, but only in reality

y wife and I have some friends we met over the last year, but we have just realized our relationship with this couple is a little strange. Sure, we get along, we hang out, we are about the same age, we live near each other and we have babies close in age. But while planning our daughter’s upcoming first birthday this week, we came to discover something freakish: We have no digital relationship with them whatsoever. I was baffled, confused and didn’t know what to do. Planning the birthday, we compiled a list of invitees. I created an invitation with a photo of our little one and added text in Photoshop. Then we made sure to gather together e-mail addresses and/ or Facebook contact information with everyone on the list so we could send them the invitation. But then we thought of this couple who lives just around the corner from us. Where were they in our digital lives? Oh sure, we’ve done small hikes like Teapot Hill and Lindeman Lake with them and their baby. But we realized we don’t have

PAUL J. HENDERSON

SimplyA Musing e-mail addresses for either of them. We frequently run into them walking on the Rotary Trail along the Vedder River and stop for a chat. But we weren’t Facebook “friends” with either of them either. On Thanksgiving, we were invited over for a delicious meal of turkey with all the trimmings. But we know of no Twitter feeds, MySpace accounts or websites either of them might have. How is it that we can carry on a relationship with these people if it is only, well, in real life? I mean, I have Facebook “friendships” with people I knew from elementary school, high school friends of friends, treeplanters that worked on my crew in the 1990s, J-school colleagues I haven’t seen in 10 years and family members related in-law, thrice-removed, some of whom don’t even speak English. I have a couple of Facebook

“friends” who I’m not sure I’ve ever seen in person. Yet somehow our relationship with this couple oddly remains in one realm only: Reality. We see them, but no videos. We talk to them in person and on the phone, but no Tweets. They invite us to dinner and we invite them to a party, but we don’t write on each others Facebook walls or share quirky web links or pithy comments on our day-to-day comings and goings. How is such a relationship to persist? Luckily, my wife did a few searches and, despite some common names, finally found the wife on Facebook. She sent her a friend request, which was accepted almost immediately. This couple clearly has a web presence and we found it. Our digital community is now able to become intertwined with their digital community. So after a few months of a relationship that exists only in temporal, physical space, we finally have forged a connection in cyberspace. Now we can not only get together to hike, share conversation and enjoy meals, but we can also share photos, videos and find out what each other is thinking at any given moment. Phew, what a relief . . . lol.

he Canadian Cancer Society says 37,000 Canadians die every year from smoking—and 18 per cent of Canadians older than 15 admitted to smoking last year. So about 1.65 million Canadians are gambling with their health. Chances are you know a few. You’ll also likely know a smoker who has tried to quit—several times. Quitting is hard. There are all sorts of legal chemicals in cigarettes that appear to be there to stimulate the pleasure centre of the brain—heroin addicts know about that. Ten years ago, Health Canada said it wanted to reduce the number of smokers in Canada from 25 to 11 per cent. The first five years went well . . . but since then there has been only a one per cent reduction. One might imagine that Health Canada would have wanted to ramp up a variety of education, warning and smoking cessation programs to achieve its stated target—and in doing so, save the country billions in health-care costs. But after more than six years of “consultations,” the federal government has quietly halted plans to update warnings on cigarette packets and include the number of a toll-free line to help smokers quit. Instead, the feds will focus efforts on contraband cigarettes—a move that will benefit tobacco companies as much as it might reduce the supply of some smokers. Surely, protecting the health of Canadians ought to be more important than stopping the flow of illegal smuggling. There’s something sadly askew with the government’s priorities on this one. And, unfortunately, it’s Canadians who will pay the price—and in so many ways. We’ll all pay the tax dollars that go into the anti-smuggling effort. We’ll all pay for the lost wages and revenues due to the generally poorer health of those who smoke. And we’ll all pay for lost loved ones who got sucked into the smoke and were unable to find their way back out until it was too late. But a few tobacco smugglers might take a hit.

Chief’s sentence doesn’t fit the crime

Editor: Having read through the article on ex-Chief Jimmy George and the sexual abuse charge, I am appalled that he only received 14 months jail time. This man obviously has a serious problem and needs a much harsher punishment, considering this wasn’t his first offence. There is no excuse for this kind of behaviour and using being abused as a child as one of them is nonsense. I personally know two people who were abused as children and they didn’t turn to screwing up other children’s lives. And to think that he was in charge of child and family services which is supposed to protect children is horrendous. So this “poor” man is remorseful and is going to “lose everything,” he should have given some thought to those children before abusing them. He got off lightly and deserves more than the judge sentenced him to. Diana Hellyer Chilliwack

Gov. Gen. is no queen’s lackey Editor: So, republican Bob Groeneveld enjoys a bit of ordure stirring. “Queen’s Lackey too good for vote” implies that he would prefer a U.S. system perhaps, or would he perhaps like a non-political head of state voted for by the electorate? Either way can have its advantages and disadvantages but broadly speaking neither is truly and wholly democratic, and Bob knows it. Examine all those “democratic” people’s republics in the world before condemning. The present system of a Governor General, despite its colonial conotations and history, is a reasonably fair one. Besides, should Canada ever become a republic the only change would be that of name, from governor general to, presumably, president. The other side of Mr. Groeneveld’s argument is that good old chestnut, sovereign bashing. The notions put forward about the monarch’s power died in 1689 I believe. Bob con-

He can’t have it both ways. Were she to visit Canada as a foreign head of state the cost would be no different and the frequency probably no lesser. And, incidentally, British taxpayers foot a substantial amount of the cost as well. Incidentally the governor general is no queen’s lackey. Maybe Stephen Harper’s but not the queen’s. Doug Morley Chilliwack

‘Bimbo’ remark uncalled for Editor: Re: Opinion piece in Tuesday Times “Queen’s Lackey too good for vote.” The childish and petulant comment referring to Michaele Jean as a “bimbo” says far more about writer Bob Groenveld than it does about the former Governor General. Andy & Bev Fraser, Chilliwack

Faith column hit the mark Editor: I wish to thank the Chilliwack Times for the ongoing column, “Faith Today,” a generous and positive contribution to Times readers. Specifically, I refer to the Oct. 8 edition, “It’s time to let God be God, not who you think he is,” by Shawn Vandop, pastor of Promontory Community Church.This is indeed a timely and wellwritten statement of faith in the midst of a narcissistic, individualist, prideful cul-

ture where we can churn out our own path of faith. And so we can, but I am too much of a sissy to go that way, although God respects individual choices and holds us to whatever the consequences. The natural, creation evidences are such that the Creator cares for all aspects of life around and above us (Psalm 19). Even the birds are smart enough to recognize who feeds them (Matthew 6:26). They seem to have more smarts than most of humanity. I would just simply not trust my own private, unique, individualized brand of Karma. Yet, I am sure that at the deepest level, rationally, we all desire that same level of trust in the “rope” which the Creator extends to us. George H. Epp Chilliwack

Will witness for dog altercation Editor: I am writing you because of an event that happened at Portage Park here in Chilliwack between 7 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Oct. 8. My wife Colleen and I had driven to the park, sat down to enjoy the coffee we had bought from Tim Hortons, and let our dog roam a bit on her leash when my wife spotted two large dogs on the far side of the tennis courts. Our dog doesn’t get along well with other dogs, so she picked her up. Then we spotted two more large dogs being walked along the street. The ones on the street were on leashes, but the ones on the other side of the park weren’t. They came tearing across the grass

and lunged at the other two dogs on leashes. One of the leashed dogs was injured and its owner picked it up to take it to the vet. The other two dogs ganged up on the remaining leashed dog. The owner of the remaining leashed dog literally had to kick the other, bigger dogs to try and separate them from his dog before the owners of the unleashed dogs arrived. Both of the unleashed dogs were larger than the two leashed ones. They looked like Mastiffs or Great Danes, I am not sure what breed they were. The leashed dogs were about the size of greyhounds, and fairly skinny that way. They were definitely outweighed and out-classed, especially when the one was injured, leaving the two larger dogs to attack the one smaller leashed dog. I am writing this to offer to act as a witness, should the owners of the injured dogs need witnesses. You can contact Colleen and Darren Crook at 604-393-6885. I am also writing this to verbally smack those upside the head who walk their dogs unleashed. You may have the friendliest dogs in the world in your home, and they may be perfectly obedient in your home, but you cannot predict how they will react when they are off leash and around other strange dogs. To the people whose dogs were off-leash you, and you alone, are responsible for that incident, regardless of which dog started the fight. It was your dogs who were not leashed, despite their size. Had the other owners been harmed or, God forbid, a child, your dogs would be put down and you would be facing criminal charges. Do not be so careless and negligent next time. Darren Crook Chilliwack

Did the right thing for dog Editor: I for one want to thank D’arcy Surrette for stepping up and helping this dog by breaking the car window. If it were a young baby in distress, would it also be “against the law” to break the window? When in Harrison this summer, there was a police-

woman who came walking with a young puppy in her arms, furious, because someone had left this puppy in the car. She had said that the owner was lucky the window was open far enough for her to reach in and open the car lock, because if it wasn’t, she would have broken the window. Would she have been made to pay for this window? Would she have been charged? I realize you can’t have everyone breaking windows to “save” animals, however, I feel in this situation there was plenty of effort made to find the owners and reports show how quickly a dog or child can die from heat over exposure. M Crang Chilliwack

Tougher stance is needed here Editor: The Times once again raised the sad spectre of the drug and sex trade. Community resource societies, various forums and panels will give presentations and people who have had to deal with these sad specimens of the human race will be in attendance. But if truth be known, in the final analyses, very little will have changed.What is sadly missing is the kind of vacuum which will syphon off this human scum. The closest I have ever come to a virtual drug and crimefree society is Singapore. I served there militarily as well as a police officer. Anyone dealing in drugs or any other vile form of human behaviour were on a very short leash and paid a harsh penalty. Unfortunately, western society is at the other end of the spectrum, backed by a legion of lawyers who have to make a living. As Mark Twain put it so succinctly, the very name “lawyer” is enough to make good men disbelieve in justice. But hope remains and just perhaps we will finally get a government that will take some pointers from Singapore, return the death penalty, turn the prisons over to the military, and give us the same second amendment as written for the U.S. Solms Coutinho Chilliwack

Faith Today BY HUGO REIMER Sardis Community Church

t seems that the more we have, the less we tend to appreciate, or the more we take it for granted and cling to a sense of entitlement. I am not sure one can quantify gratitude but I think one can notice the difference between a person who is negative or positive, grateful or ungrateful. We can certainly tell when we are. I remember riding a bike (I had not owned one at that time) and the sheer exhilaration of speed. I was over the top thankful. Or perhaps we have spent hours and a bunch of money getting that perfect gift for a toddler only to have them open the gift and then promptly play with the cardboard box. Perhaps gratitude is a matter of perspective and a choice.

Bursts of gratitude

Clifford Nass, a professor at Stanford University authored a book called The Man who lied to his laptop. In an interview in Macleans (Oct. 4, 2010) he makes this observation that helps me think about why we drift toward being negative: “Negative things take up more cognitive energy, we think harder about them, we feel them more strongly. It’s why criticism is so much more powerful than praise. And once you get on a roll in criticizing it comes pouring out, whereas with praise we don’t see that. We don’t hear about bursts of kindness, we have bursts of anger.” He goes on to observe that

in English 50 per cent of words are negative and only about 30 per cent are positive. Perhaps it is easier to be negative than to be grateful. The Bible suggests that God is knowable, but that when we choose not to thank him, we stop believing in God. Since we all, each of us, crave something transcendent, bigger than ourselves, then, when we dismiss God we fill the vacuum with something else which does not satisfy, leaving us dissatisfied and negative. The encouraging news is that God is approachable and knowable, not that we can ever get our hands

on God or fully understand—that would be arrogant—but rather God is the one who invites us to grapple with who we are, and whose we are, that the character of God can be understood. God is a power that cannot be leashed or lassoed, a power that cannot be suppressed, ignored. It is the power of love, a love that reaches beyond time and space, and became a person; a love that takes our place; a love that knows our name, walks with us in our pain and rejection and selfloathing, and which beckons us to a journey of healing, restoration and new beginnings.

I gush forth in gratitude that we have a God who pursues even when we run amok, God who does not throw temper tantrums when we ignore him, but is always waiting with open arms. God does this because we self-destruct when we wallow in only gaining our own ends; we leave a junkyard of broken relationships in the wake of “my way or the highway,” which I suspect is at the root of being judgmental and ungrateful. Gratitude sets us free to experience and embrace life, to work together in honouring and valuing each other and our environment, gain bigger perspective, and to be energized with motivation. Choose to run and embrace each moment with bursts of gratitude and kindness. ◗ Hugo Reimer is a pastor at Sardis Community Church.

Individual responsibility a key component to FVRD approach

he Fraser Valley Regional District has embarked upon a public consultation process as part of its project to update the region’s Solid Waste Management Plan. Mike Hofer, the FVRD’s manager of environmental services and operations, provided the following insight into the process and its goals. Q — Has the Solid Waste Management Plan been updated or is it still in process? A — The Solid Waste Management Plan (SWMP) is still in progress. We will be taking the first draft of the plan to the Plan Review

Advisory Committee in November and then to the Environment Committee in December. Q — What kind of feedback have you had from the general public? Do you feel that people are ready to take more responsibility at the individual/household level for solid waste management? Or do they still see this as a nebulous “government” issue. A — We have had positive feedback from the public. The Fraser Valley Regional District Board of Directors has resolved to not incinerate, burn or thermally treat municipal solid waste (MSW). I believe that the public is prepared to take more responsibility for their personal waste generation. The public is more educated on waste management issues such as the impacts of packaging and the

Got milk ...cartons?

Only four per cent recycled, 96 per cent end up in the landfill

ilk cartons were invented in about 1915 as an improvement on glass containers.The inventor felt that glass was heavy and breakable, even though it had been working for years.Cardboard didn’t catch on right away. People were used to buying their milk in glass jars.It took until the 1930s for the cardboard containers to be accepted.The cardboard container really took off in the ’60s when milk distributors realized they were cheaper and required no collection, cleaning or deposit programs to manage.It was easier to just throw them out.One factory alone could make up to 20 million cartons per day. Last year, residents across Metro Vancouver sent about 1,400 tonnes of cardboard milk cartons to the landfill. That’s about 42 million containers.This doesn’t include cartons used by schools, hospitals or other businesses and institutions—just houses.We also sent about 200 tonnes of plastic containers (3.5 million containers), and 60 tonnes of glass milk containers to the dump. Milk cartons are made of paper with a waterproof coating.Chlorine is used to whiten the paper,and the containers are dyed into familiar colours.To recycle them, the cartons are shredded, and then soaked in something like a massive washing machine with an agitator in the centre to remove the waterproof coating.Most of the paper part is reused, and some of the coating can be reused.As there isn’t a local recycling plant, there’s shipping and hauling involved, plus a lot of energy to do the recycling. You can reuse cartons.They are great for art, making bird feeders,starting new seedlings for the garden.But with the average household buying six litres per week, that’s a lot of seedlings,(or some very fat birds!). In B.C., we have a voluntary return program for milk car-

tons.That means that if you take them back to a depot, they will be recycled. About four per cent of milk cartons are recycled through depots,which means about 96 per cent go to the landfill. Where can you take them? Encorp Return-It Centres. Remember, because you pay no deposit for them, there is no fee paid upon return. If there were a mandatory recycling program, there would be a small deposit fee, but that would come with set recycling targets, an in-province recycling location, measures and monitoring just like other mandatory recycling programs (for example,the system used for pop bottles). What are the alternatives? One dairy reports it can sterilize and refill its glass bottles 80 to 100 times each.Now that’s reusing. Another option is the plastic jug.They are still a one-use product.However, unlike cartons, they are easily recycled. They are made of one type of plastic,making them a valuable commodity as a recycling material.Over 75 per cent of plastic milk containers are recycled through both depots and curbside pick up.If you put them curbside, you have to rinse and crush them and remove the lids. Plastic jugs full of air take up a lot of space in a recycling truck causing extra trips for the garbage collectors. Removing the lids allows the container to dry thoroughly and improves the industrial crushing process.One school audited its own waste and found that students went through about 1,000 milk cartons per day.They were able to find a local processing plant to recycle them.Taking out milk cartons reduced their school’s overall trash by 25 per cent, which meant the school paid 25 per cent less to have its garbage hauled away. It took over a decade to encourage North Americans to choose to buy milk in a carton. — courtesy Metro Vancouver

Pillars of the FVRD solid waste management plan Draft Mission Statement: FVRD will guide its residential, commercial and institutional stakeholders to reduce their waste generation by furthering progressive solid waste management programs and providing effective education to ensure a healthy environment and reverse the effects of climate change. Draft Vision Statement: By 2020, the FVRD has established a comprehensive solid waste management system that is delivered through a full partnership among all levels of government and industry and made accessible to every member of the community; bringing the FVRD closer to Zero Waste. Draft Guiding Principles: Collaboration: The PLAN is a partnership

between the FVRD and its member municipalities. To ensure region-wide acceptability of new policies and programs, all new initiatives will be developed through collaboration with our member municipalities to ensure that: 1) the roles of the FVRD and the municipalities are clearly defined and that, 2) goals, objectives, costs and benefits are clearly understood. Zero Waste: Similar to some industries that have embraced targets of Zero Accidents or Zero Defects, Zero Waste does not mean that no waste will be produced or disposed; rather, it will serve as a strong target to inspire change in the existing waste management system.

Estimated Annual Heating Costs (Savings) for a typical 2,500 sq. ft. house. In Vancouver, a 2,500 sq. ft. house with a gas furnace and a COP of 0.85 would spend approximately $1,378 in heating bills in one year. If this same house were equipped with a standard electric heater, one year of heating could cost you an enormous $2,967. Zuba-Central, on the other hand, would only cost about $904. Even though Zuba-Central also uses electricity, it is staggering how much more efﬁcient it actually is. This means you would save $474, or 34%, a year on energy costs over a gas furnace, and $2,063, or 70%, over electric heaters. That’s a potential savings of almost $20,000 in your pocket over 10 years.

Organize your recycling

here’s nothing more annoying than running out of kitchen counter space because you’ve got a pile of empty tins, yogurt and juice containers waiting to be recycled. Is it time to clear off your counters and take stock of the amount of space under you sink? Is the space under your sink being taken over by special cleansers that are only used every few months like silver polish, floor wax and roasting pan scrubbers? Or maybe your cupboard hosts a bag of empty grocery bags? Go and take a look before reading on. Why not prioritize the space for sorting out your garbage and recycling, activities you do every single day? If you’re not using your cleansers at all, look up your closest Product Care site and get rid of them safely.Do not pour them down the drain as the environment doesn’t want them either.This is not to suggest you stop cleaning your house, but like many people, you might want to switch to using fewer chemicals when cleaning your home. Check out www.metrovancouverrecycles. org for information that can help get rid of your old cleansers. If you are using chemical cleansers, decide where else they can go — maybe under the bathroom sink? In the basement? Is there room to add a shelf high up in the pantry or shoe closet?

If you have a large“bag of bags”where plastic bags are shoved into one another forming a space-wasting, Earth-sized ball of plastic, take them back to your grocery store for recycling.Then commit to switching to reusable bags so as not to build up a ball of bags ever again.If you need a few as kitchen catchers, store them up high on a hook in a cloth bag. How big is your garbage bin, and can something smaller do the trick? A smaller garbage bin is good motivation to make sure you recycle everything you can.Recycling food scraps alone will reduce your household garbage by up to 30 per cent. Once you have cleared out the space under your sink, give it a good wipe down with white vinegar to get rid of any odours. Vinegar is an amazing cleanser. Now think about the number of bins, cans or boxes you will need to make it easy to sort your recyclables.Make fun signs labelling the new sorting containers like “well-read newsprint,”“flattened cardboard,” “unavoidable plastic bottles,”“milk and juice containers for the depot.” Maybe your city offers food scraps collection, or you have begun backyard composting. Your food scraps collection container can go under the sink too.Try a glass or stainless steel bowl with a dish for a lid, or an ice cream pail with a lid. - courtesy of Metro Vancouver

Recycle Your Old TV And Save On Your Energy Bills

Recycling is not just for paper and plastic anymore. Now you can also recycle your old TVs, computers, monitors, printers and fax machines – and save money at the same time. “Most people don’t know that the extra TV they’ve got sitting upstairs in the guest room where it gets used maybe once a year is actually costing them money every day,” says BC Hydro’s Kari Reid, Program Manager in Residential Marketing. “As long as that TV is plugged in – whether it’s turned on or not – it’s using energy. And it’s adding up on their electricity bills.” Virtually all electronic devices – TVs, computers, printers, modems, DVD players, cell phone chargers and anything else with a clock, timer, adapter, memory or remote control – continue to draw power even when they’re not in use. With the average Canadian home today boasting more than 25 electronic devices, you can bet that at least some of those devices remain plugged in, even when they’re old or broken. But just tossing your out-of-date electronics in the local landfill is not the answer. “TVs, like computers and other electronics, have components that should be recycled,” says Kari. “The best thing is to take your unused electronics to a Return-It™ Electronics recycling depot, where they will get broken down safely and properly.” The Return-It™ Electronics recycling program is managed by Encorp Pacific (Canada) on behalf of the Electronics Stewardship Association of British Columbia. The ESABC established the program in 2007 (in addition to its Return-It™ Beverage and Milk Container recycling programs) to respond to the fast-growing issue of e-waste. “New and better products keep coming on the market all the time,” says Kari, “and we’re snapping them up. Who

Advertorial

doesn’t want a sleek new flat-screen TV? But some people are just throwing their outdated electronics in the trash, or simply putting them in a drawer or a closet because they don’t know what else to do with them. Some people, too, are just moving them to another room where they stay plugged in but unused – which is just wasting energy. We want to see unused electronics unplugged, then disposed of properly.” “Once you’ve done that,” says Kari, “there are a number of other things you can do to reduce your energy use.” For example: ! Plug all your related electronics, like your computer, modem, monitor and printer, into a single power bar, then switch them all off at once when you’re not using them. ! Switch to a laptop. A typical laptop computer uses approximately 55 kwh/year compared to a typical desktop and monitor that uses approximately 290 kwh/yr. ! Unplug your cell phone and other chargers as soon as the battery is topped up. ! If you’re in the market for a new TV, look for one with the ENERGY STAR® label – it will use as much as 50 per cent less energy than a less-efficient model. ! As a general rule, the larger the TV the more energy it uses. Make sure your TV is the right size for your room by dividing the distance between where you’ll be sitting and the front of the screen by 2.5. “It can take more electricity per year to keep your DVD player in standby mode than it actually uses playing DVDs,” says Kari. “Unplug it or turn it off at a power bar and you’ll save energy. And as I said before, get rid of your unused TV! If just one in 10 households in British Columbia recycled just one unused television, it would save enough energy to provide all of Squamish with electricity for more than a year.” To find out more about the Return-It electronics recycling program or to find a recycling depot near you, please visit return-it.ca/electronics.

need for composting organics, yard and garden wastes and contaminated papers. British Columbia has made great steps with extended producer responsibility programs that will assist with these endeavours. Q — Consultation appears to have been an important part of the process to update the plan. Why was that? A — Public consultation is a very important part of the process. If the expectation is to have people take more responsibility at the individual and household level for solid waste management, they must have a voice or forum for providing feedback to government. Participation in any waste management program is the key to a successful program and if people/ residents have a part in formulating a plan or strategy, they are more likely to participate. Q — Is there a feeling that we now need to move beyond the three R’s? For instance, do people need to start paying more attention to their purchases and the kind of waste that packaging produces? In short, do we need to actively consider options for creating less waste? A — Absolutely. Packaging is and will continue to be a major part of the waste stream.The Canadian Council of Ministers of Environment and the British Columbia

Packaging a major part of the waste stream Product Stewardship Council are key bodies moving this discussion forward. Q — Can you list five things that households can do immediately to reduce their contribution to the solid waste stream? A — 1. Understand your community’s waste management programs and diversion opportunities. 2. Compost — whether it is within a community/municipal program or backyard composting.This stream of waste has the biggest potential/ opportunity for waste diversion. 3. Be selective when making purchases with regards to type of container. Plastics with a number of 3, 6, and 7 are difficult to recycle and therefore have less opportunity to be recycled. 4. Be selective when making purchases with excessive packaging. Are their opportunities to purchase the same or similar product with less packaging? 5. Bring re-useable containers for your purchases. For example, a coffee mug, lunch bag, re-usable grocery bags, re-usable produce bags, etc.

THE

Encorp’s School Recycling Program makes fundraising as easy as ABC

Since 2000, about 33 million containers have been recycled, and Encorp has refunded more than $2 million in deposit refunds to participating BC schools.

Education

Encorp’s BC School Recycling Program provides elementary and high schools with the tools and resources to make recycling easy, convenient and profitable. Schools keep 100% of the deposit for each container collected and the program costs them nothing. Elementary and high schools from all parts of British Columbia are encouraged to participate. The schools and the environment both benefit from this popular program. Schools find it’s an easy way to fundraise for special projects like field trips. Keeping beverage containers out of landfills saves precious resources within our environment. The containers are recycled and used as raw material. For example, drink boxes are mashed into paper pulp which is used to make cardboard boxes and toilet paper. Thousands of tonnes of paper pulp are recovered in this process.

George Pringle Elementary (Westbank) began the 2009/10 school year with a 5 day bottle drive. It was such a success that they decided to collect containers on a monthly basis. One day in every month, parents dropped off their bags and boxes of containers at the school. The grade 6 students and Vice-Principal volunteered to collect juice boxes and other containers from classrooms. This year, the Parent Advisory Committee and teachers decided that the funds from deposit refunds would go towards a year end field trip to Vancouver. They’ve found that recycling is a great way to save the environment while raising money for things that are important to everyone at their school.

RETURN-IT MAN SCHOOL TOUR

Return-It Man, along with his Super Sidekick, visits elementary schools across the province, educating students about recycling beverage containers and electronics. Their fun and entertaining presentation explains how containers are recycled and what they are recycled into. Kids get to actively participate in the presentation and even receive an activity book with a reuseable lunch bag to take home with them.

tonne of paper pulp recycled, approximately 17 trees are saved. Since the program’s inception in 2000, about 33 million containers have been recycled, and Encorp has refunded more than $2 million in deposit refunds to participating BC schools. In the 2009/2010 school year alone, 365 schools (153,334 students) who participated in Encorp’s School Recycling Program raised over $291,000 and they kept over 4.6 million beverage containers out of BC landfills. Encorp’s easy to use web application allows schools to keep a running total of their own returns and compare their totals to other schools. It also features a blogging page where they can share ideas about recycling at school. Throughout the year, registered schools are provided with newsletters to update them on the progress of the program. They’re also eligible to receive free recycling bins and bags to help them collect containers. Encorp has spiced things up by adding an extra incentive. Schools who collect the most containers per student are awarded bonus cash prizes. The contest is designed to allow similarly sized schools across the province to compete against each other in respective categories. Each year, a total of $13,500 is split between the top three schools in each of the nine categories. In addition to the collection contest each year, Encorp holds other draws and contests where students can get creative to win their schools even more cash prizes. What’s more, award certificates are given to individual students and groups to recognize exceptional dedication to helping our environment. Each year provides schools with a brand new opportunity to fundraise. Distributing flyers and collecting containers from surrounding areas is also a great way for schools to develop and foster relationships within their communities. School spirit really pays off thanks to Encorp’s BC School Recycling Program. So start fundraising the easy way! Register your school today at return-it.ca/youth.

Keeping millions of tires out of the landfill (NC)—In Canada, nearly 33 million tires are discarded in landfills

every year—that’s close to one tire for every man, woman and child

in the country. A movement to keep tires out of landfills is gaining momentum, and is one of the latest initiatives to ensure that Cana-

dians get a little more mileage out of their used tires. Consumers have an opportunity to be part of the solution by sup-

porting Canadian Tire’s new line of Blue Planet car mats,manufactured completely from diverted tires from landfills and stockpiles.

Mayor puts out Waste Reduction Week challenge

on’t allow the opportunity to go greener go to waste.There are a multitude of activities planned in Chilliwack to celebrate Waste Reduction Week from Oct. 16 to 23. The theme of Waste Reduction Week,‘Too Good to Waste’, is meant to draw attention to the richness and diversity of the natural world and the importance of working towards ecological sustainability through waste avoidance and resource conservation. “If we are serious about protecting our environment, reducing the amount of waste we create is critical,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz. “I challenge everyone to look for ways to limit the

amount of waste they produce so that we can reduce the footprint we leave on our environment. Green really is the new black.” From Oct. 16 to 23, you can recycle your scrap metal and non-reusable household appliances for free at the Bailey Landfill. On Saturday, Oct. 23, participate in the Fall Citywide Garage Sale and maybe your unwanted items will become someone else’s treasure.There more than 30 Chilliwack retailers participating in Waste Reduction Week.

PLAN, from page 14

User-pay better taxation than

Waste Philosophy,FVRD will work towards adopting more aggressive waste reduction policies to stop waste before it happens and maximize re-use and recycling programs. Six R’s of Waste Management: The solid waste stream will be reduced to the greatest extent possible in accordance with the six R’s of waste management:Rethink,Reduce, Reuse,Recycle,Recover and Residual Management. Triple Bottom Line: A balanced approach will be used to make all decisions when assessing different waste management options. The Triple Bottom Line approach will take into consideration the environmental,social and financial implications of each option,so that decisions are not solely influenced by any one approach. UserPaySystem: The true cost of waste management is not clear in a tax-based fee structure,resulting in little financial incentive to change behaviour. The PLAN will discourage general taxation and encourage a user-pay approach to fund programs in order to promote waste reduction. Energy Optimization: To

help reduce our carbon footprint,the PLAN will encourage the optimization of production and use of energy through effective management of landfill gas,processing of organics and collection of municipal solid waste and recyclables. Community Based Social Marketing: Large-scale information campaigns can be effective in creating public awareness of new programs but rarely lead to the desired behaviour change. As an alternative to information campaigns,Community Based Social Marketing (CBSM) techniques will be used to deliver initiatives at the community level by using direct personal contact with residents. To implement new programs, the following CBSM techniques will be used:1) Identify barriers/benefits to a program, 2) Develop tools to influence the desired behaviour change, 3) Pilot the strategy,and 4) Evaluate the strategy upon full implementation across the community. - Information courtesy of Mike Hofer, FVRD

Ryan Howse scored his league-leading 10th goal of the season in overtime to finally snuff out the Everett Silvertips and give Chilliwack a 4-3 victory. The Bruins had taken the lead three separate times but each time Everett had tied the game. Robin Soudek kicked off the scoring in the first period on the Bruins’ deadly power play. Helmed by new assistant coach Enio Sacilotto, the Bruins’ man advantage is connecting at a league-best 32 per cent clip. In the second period, Cody Fowlie tied the game for Everett with his first Western Hockey League goal. Fowlie’s glory was short-lived, however, as Mike Forsyth banged home a rebound for his very own first WHL goal. But while the Bruins took a 2-1 lead into the third period, Forsyth’s tally was not to be his first game winning goal. Everett captain Landon Ferraro beat Chilliwack netminder Lucas Gore to tie the game again. Brandon Manning retook the lead for the Bruins, only to have to watch the Silvertips again tie the game, this time with just 2:53 left in the game. Chilliwack’s power play may have powered the team’s offence so far this season, but it was the Bruins’ penalty killing that allowed the team a chance to win. A Kevin Sundher tripping penalty with less than a minute left gave the Silvertips a golden opportunity to finally jump ahead of the Bruins.

Everett Silvertip Parker Stanfield shoots on goal as Chilliwack Bruins’ defender Zach Habscheid and goaltender Lucas Gore go for the puck in the second period of Wednesday night’s game at Comcast Arena. But Chilliwack held Everett without a shot in 69 seconds of four-on-three play in overtime. And just 13 seconds after Sundher emerged from the box, the Silvertips, who had thus far held Howse off the score sheet, found themselves watching the Bruins sniper pot the OT winner. The final tally extended one streak for Howse, and broke another for Sundher. With his goal, Howse has now scored a point in each of the seven games this season. By assisting on the winner, Sundher—who has only appeared in four games—finally notched his first point.

Neigum put on waivers The Chilliwack Bruins also reportedly placed winger Shayne Neigum on waivers Thursday. The Bruins were forced to move a 20-year-old, as Western Hockey League teams are only allowed three overage players on their roster from this point forward. Neigum, a locker room leader and one of the team’s assistant captains, played 72 games for the Bruins last year and led the team in penalty minutes. He was reportedly claimed by the Kamloops Blazers.

Funk an easy choice for coaches GOLF STORE Nominated for prestigious Ron White CLOSING C Award for community involvement

hilliwack Huskers graduating receiver Teague Funk has been named the 2010 recipient of the Ron White Award for community involvement. Funk overcame two heart attacks when he was 17 to play three seasons with the Huskers. Those heart attacks derailed his chances at an athletic scholarship at Simon Fraser University, but they allowed the Huskers to recruit a keystone to their team on and off the field. In his nominating letter, Huskers head coach Luke Acheson wrote glowingly about his dedicated receiver: “Although his determination and hard work are evident everyday, it is Teague’s leadership skills, knowledge and ability to connect with his teammates and coaches that truly separates him from other athletes. Teague is always the first to offer new recruits and out-of-town players a place to stay for a few days

while getting settled in for the season. “As coaches, we could not think of anyone we would rather have a new player stay with and learn what it means to be a CJFL football player and a Husker than Teague Funk. On the practice field Teague is a huge asset. He is a player-coach out there and is able to lead his group as well as the entire team when needed. He has earned the respect of all his teammates and coaches and is often referred to as “Coach Funk” by the coaching staff. Funk is currently enrolled in the University of the Fraser Valley’s kinesiology program and plans on becoming a physical education teacher. Funk has still not fully recovered from those two early heart attacks—the first of which

occurred while playing junior B hockey for the Abbotsford Pilots, the second of which took place on a high school football field. But he hasn’t let that stop him from coaching at a slew of football basketball, rugby and hockey programs He is also a program co-ordinator and recreation leader at the Abbotsford Youth Commission and has been a coach—sometimes the only one—with the Abbotsford Collegiate Panthers since 2006. Acheson said that without Funk, the Abbotsford Collegiate football program would have folded. As for Funk’s role on the Huskers, Acheson said: “He will be missed but not forgotten as one of the most courageous and exciting leaders to ever wear a Chilliwack Huskers jersey.”

meet so we’re not always traveling,”. In all, seven Chilliwack schools came out to capitalize on their home track advantage. Megan Muir of G.W. Graham took top spot in the middle school girls 3.7-km race (15:18) followed by Vedder middle runners Jennifer Wiebe (16:57) and Amarit Toor (17:02). In middle school boys action, Vedder’s Tanner Geary came in first (14:50) while Unity Christian’s Dylan Ramdial (15:01) edged out Mt. Slesse’s Paul Braila (15:16) for second.

Kristy Ricard of Chilliwack middle took second place in the 4.2-km junior girls race (17:15), coming in only 12 seconds behind the firstplace Abbotsford runner. In the junior boys 5.8-km race, G.W. Graham runners Jesse MacDuff (21:39) and James Rawson (21:44) narrowly missed the podium, placing fourth and fifth respectively. Sa rd i s r u n n e r A s h l e y Heisler took second place in the senior girls 4.2-km event in 17:20, and hard on her heels was Chilliwack secondary’s Jen Prior, who finished fourth with a time

Home track advantage pays off for local cross-country runners hilliwack cross-country runners took on athletes from Surrey to Hope and everywhere in between last week at the 12th annual Chilliwack Invitational on Island 22. About 250 runners from 26 Fraser Valley schools gathered for the race hosted every year by Vedder middle school. “There’s not a lot of meets out there for cross-country, and I think Chilliwack is a beautiful venue to run in,” said race organizer and Vedder middle coach Sue Northey, “and it’s also really nice for us to have a home

Vannieuwenhuizen is a ‘wee bit of a trainer’s nightmare’ BY ELLIOTT PAP Vancouver Sun

t’s always nice to have a big-name player on your roster and the Vancouver Giants have one of the biggest. C h i l l i w a c k - b o r n d e f e n c e m a n We s Vannieuwenhuizen carries 16 letters in his family handle, which surpasses almost everyone in hockey with the exception of New Jersey’s Pierre-Luc LetourneauLeblond—and LetourneauLeblond needs a hyphen to reach 17. Vannieuwenhuizen’s name is too long for the traditional name bar on a hockey sweater. It’s too long to fit in regular font on the Wes Vannieuwenhui- Giants’ game-day lineup sheets. It’s too long for coach Don Hay zen to bark out during games. “He’s one player I don’t call by his last name, I don’t have enough time to get it out,” chuckled Hay. “I call him Wes. Or Vandy.” For Giants’ equipment manager Grant Ferguson, there was only one solution. He shrunk the letters so Vannieuwenhuizen’s name wouldn’t go elbow-to-elbow on the back of his No. 5 jersey. Ferguson has been in the business 19 years and 16 letters was a record for him. “When I was with Lethbridge, we had a goalie there named Ryan Papaioannou,” said Ferguson. “I think that was 14 [actually 11].

Vannieuwenhuizen is the longest one I’ve ever had. When I initially made his name bar last season, he was a call-up so I was picking letters off old name bars and it went from one elbow pad to the other. For this year, we brought the font down so his name is basically shoulder to shoulder now. “It was a wee bit of a trainer’s nightmare. I was going to send his mother a bill for a spool of thread.” Vannieuwenhuizen merely smiles at all the fun stuff surrounding his name. It’s Dutch and his grandfather brought it across the Atlantic following the Second World War. There has never been a mention of shortening it. Wes—let’s be informal here—said all the Vannieuwenhuizens are happy being Vannieuwenhuizens. “They’re pretty proud of it,” explained Wes, 18. “Growing up, I’ve always been taught to be proud of my name.” Wes has admittedly made some concessions to brevity. He calls himself Wes rather than Wesley, which is his full first name. When he signs autographs or cheques, it’s usually V-a-n ... and a bunch of squiggles. Best of all, though, Wes is finally making a name for himself as a regular on the Giants blue-line. He was taken 129th overall in the 2007 bantam draft and has spent three years polishing his game. For the most part, he skates on Hay’s top defensive pairing with NHL draft-eligible star David Musil. “When I got re-assigned to junior A [Surrey] last year, they told me they wanted me to be faster and a harder-on-the-puck player,” he said. “This season I feel I’ve really progressed with my skating and skills. I feel a lot more confident on the blue-line.”

Gold medals for Attack, Strikers

JB Red blank Knights The Chilliwack JB Red Giants posted their first shutout of the season by defeating the Meadow Ridge Knights 20-0 on a rainy Thanksgiving afternoon. The Giants didn’t waste any time getting on the scoreboard as Treyvon Walsh was able to scoop up the Giants opening kickoff and run it in for a touchdown. On the next offensive series, Thijs Duinveld busted through the line and raced 40 yards to paydirt. Kirkland Kennedy accounted for the Giants’ final touchdown when he powered into the endzone early in the second quarter. ‘Fun’ even when they lose The Chilliwack Atom Blue Giants dropped both their weekend games, including one that coach Steve Locke described as “the most fun game I’ve ever lost.” That game, a 21-6 defeat Monday to the Meadow Ridge Blue Knights saw the team’s front line, led by Grayson Hardie, come together, allowing running back

The Attack was joined at the top of the podium by the Strikers U-15 silver team. Makayla Pfeifer scored in the first minute of their first game and the Strikers kept rolling. Emily Finley scored twice and Pfeifer added a second goal in that opener as Chilliwack rolled over the U16 Killarney Gunners 4-1. Goals from four different players and spectacular goalkeeping from Samantha Chand powered the Strikers to a 4-0 victory over the Surdel Vipers in the second game. And Chilliwack booked their ticket in the final with another 4-1 win, this time over the Richmond Spartans, with Finley, Kiana Thiessen and Emily Haagensen doing all the offensive damage. In the final, Chand kept the score level until Pfeifer opened the scoring late in the second half before Taylor Allan added a second goal to seal the victory.

Answer: Over the summer months the sun damages our skin which affects the texture and tone. A great way to reverse this process is to have a series of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments in combination with physician grade cosmetics which include Vitamin A, hydroquinone and sunblock. If you are interested in a more aggressive treatment we can combine physician grade products, IPL and Fraxel laser. The combination of these treatments will enhance each others results. Sunblock will need to be part of your daily regime to maintain the results. Dr. Marianna Snyman Dr. Marianna Snyman

Minor football Andrew Locke to amass 52 yards on the day. Jaylen Edwards scored a late touchdown and then recovered the ball. But Chilliwack was stopped just short of the end zone by the strong Meadow Ridge defence. Hardie led the way on defence, with two solo touchdowns and two assisted tackles, while Justin Crooks added three assisted tackles and caught two passes for 27 yards. The Blue Giants also weren’t shy about putting the ball in the air as quarterback Brandt Davis completed 13 of 19 passes for 65 yards. Last Friday Locke’s squad fell 40-0 to the Abbotsford Falcons. Michael Martin led the defence with seven tackles and two assits, while Andrew Locke added four tackles of his own and recovered a fumble.

wo Chilliwack U-15 girls soccer teams brought home gold medals from this weekend’s Richmond Thanksgiving Tournament. The Attack gold team defeated the Richmond Coyotes 1-0 in a tense final thanks to a strong defensive effort and a Leah Cairns goal. Carins slotted home after Mackenzie Graham had hit the post to give the Attack all the offence they would need. The Attack opened the tournament Saturday with a 7-1 victory over the RGSA Venom. Seven different players scored for Chilliwack, while Janae Hilderbrant and Nikki Loewen split goaltending duties and each saved a penalty. The Attack fell to the Coyotes 2-1 in their second game, but a 1-0 victory over Coquitlam Metro Ford Threat earned Chilliwack a spot in the finals and a rematch against Richmond.

Arugula an easy species for those who save seeds

Q: When and how do I collect arugula seedpods. How would I dry them? Should I hang them over newspaper? I really don’t know. I’ve never done it. But I’d like to try. Jean Munier Burnaby A: You can pick the seedpods as soon as they’re brown or yellow and feel dry to the touch. But if your arugula is where rain can soak the seedpods, move them into a dry place or cut 12inch long stems and bring them inside to dry. Once they’re dry, pick the pods and put them in a paper bag. Hang it up in a warm place. The bag must be paper, not plastic. Plastic holds in moisture and this results in mould and rot. The pods will release the seeds which will fall to the bottom of the bag. If the seeds are slow to release, shake the bag. Some of the pods may fragment and if so you’ll need to remove these bits (called chaff) by dump-

ANNE MARRISON

Green Thumb ing the seed and chaff on a plate and gently blowing while you tilt the plate back and forth. The seeds roll downward. The chaff tends to float away. Arugula is an easy species for seed-saving. It’s a prolific seeder, the seed stores well and it germinates quickly and easily. Often, outside it seeds in place and you get loads of seedlings whether you want them or not. Q: I recently purchased my first hyacinth bulbs in a sealed plastic bag. When should I plant them, and how should I keep the bulbs after they’re finished blooming?” Helga via e-mail

A: You should plant your hyacinth bulbs in a garden bed or pot as soon as possible. They’ll get a good start for future years if you mix a teaspoon of bonemeal per bulb into the planting soil. Or you can use bulb fertilizer according to the directions on the label. After hyacinths have bloomed they can be fertilized again. They naturalize very easily in a garden bed. Usually, they grow taller and have fewer bells but in the shadier beds they become willowy, elegant and beautiful for vases. They will come back if left in a container but natualize much better in a bed outside. Q: We have a 10-year old Full Moon Maple tree in the corner of our backyard. It’s beside a partly-shaded fence. We have patches of moss on all of the branches and white circles all the See MARRISON, Page 34

Close the pool

Eliminate painting odours T

here are some steps homeowners can take when paint fumes are bound to overwhelm, particularly in a child’s bedroom. 1. Empty the entire room of furniture and any porous materials that can trap paint fumes. This also will make it easier to paint with no obstructions. 2. Open the windows in the room before any paint cans are opened, and keep them open during the duration of the job. 3. Consider the use of latex paints, which are generally low-odour. 4. If alkyd, alcohol, or shellac paints must be used, add a few drops of vanilla extract to the paint to alleviate any odours. It won’t affect the colour.

◗ Test the pH, calcium harness and total alkalinity and do what’s needed so that they are balanced. Follow manufacturer’s guidelines for the correct levels. This will help avoid staining and etching from improper chemical levels. ◗ Give the pool one last shock treatment. ◗ Add a winterizing and algaecide treatment, following the manufacturer’s guidelines. ◗ Many pools need to have the piping flushed so that residual water is not resting in piping and tubing. This water can expand when frozen and cause serious damage. It is also recommended that the water level of the pool be drained so that it falls below the skimmer intake, helping to prevent water from making it back into the filtration system. There are also plugs and covers that can be used to seal the skimmer.

◗ Cover the pool with a durable pool cover and secure so debris doesn’t make its way into the clean pool water. Some covers feature an inflated pillow that is put underneath in the middle so that water doesn’t accumulate on the cover from rain or snow and sink the cover. ◗ Drain the water out of the filter. Remove all plugs from equipment like pumps, heater, and chlorinator. Leave them out so that if water does get back in, it can drain out. Experienced pool owners get used to opening and closing their pools every season. However, new pool owners may want to have a professional service come in and walk them through the process the first time. Some pool companies offer packages where the pool is opened and closed each season. Homeowners who have any doubts about closing the pool should consult a professional to safeguard their pool investment.

he days begin to get shorter and cooler and the evenings can be quite chilly. It’s time to recognize that the pool season is over and decide on when to close up the pool after months of enjoyment. After a lengthy summer of swimming and relaxing, admitting that pool season is over can evoke feelings of melancholy. Preparing the yard for the changing seasons is a primary example that cold weather is inching closer. The time when a homeowner closes up the pool is largely a personal choice. However, it’s best to do it before the temperatures start dipping below 5 C to avoid the possibility of freezing and damage to equipment. Closing the pool properly helps prevent damage from harsh weather and ensures the pool water is as clean as possible for next year’s use. This greatly reduces the amount of prep work that needs to take place when the pool is opened next season. Here are some steps that should be taken. ◗ Remove skimmer baskets, chlorine tablet baskets, ladders, vacuums, and any other accessories from the pool.

At Home

Lichens take nothing from tree MARRISON, from page 30 way up the tree trunk. Is this a disease? If it’s a disease, what would you suggest we do to save this beautiful tree?” Archie Blakie E-mail A: The white growths on your Full Moon maple tree sound like lichens to me. Lichens and moss almost always grow together on the older branches of trees and neither do any harm at all. They simply use the tree as a place to live—in a sense they are perching on the tree just as birds do.

BY KAREN TURNER Postmedia News

ith the all the doom-and-gloom news recently over rising electricity costs, I thought I was prepared for the worst when my August hydro bill arrived. With four sons who fancy long showers, a backyard pool—thankfully without an energy-guzzling heater—and a washing machine that runs night and day, dollar signs practically leap from our Smart Meter. So when I ripped open the bill and saw that I owed $637, I was shocked. In a blink of an eye, my hopes of installing a steamy hot tub next the pool were dashed. To help homeowners like myself slash their mounting electric bills, the October issue of Consumer Reports Canada offers these quick and practical energy-saving tips: Program your thermostat. By reducing your energy use at night or when you’re not home, you can save up to 20 per cent on yearly heating and cooling bills. Unplug when not in use. According to the magazine, between “five and 10 per cent of residential electricity goes to devices that draw power when they’re off or in standby mode.” Stop pre-rinsing. Running dirty dishes under the tap before throwing them in the dishwasher wastes close to 30,000 litres of water a year. Cold water works. Several laundry soap manufacturers offer cold-wash detergent designed to remove stubborn stains and dirt without having to use scalding hot water. Fix leaky ducts. Seal and insulate heating and cooling ducts throughout your house to prevent energy loss.

Moss and lichens gain their nutriment from light and moisture. They take nothing from the tree. But some people find them aesthetically displeasing. Occasionally someone dislikes the appearance so much they wash-off the moss and lichens. This doesn’t harm the tree either, but it is quite a lot of work. Typically moss and lichens tend to recur—sometimes the very next year.

Jammin’ Local musician Trisha Gagnon goes solo with A Story About You and Me

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

life mixed with music and producing jam makes for some potentially corny one-liners, such as “She be jammin’” or maybe “This gal can jam!” But this isn’t a joke; it’s the reality for Jaybird band member Trisha Gagnon, who is about to venture on a tour of Southern B.C. to promote her first solo CD released last month. In between her time spent as a musician, long-time Chilliwack resident Gagnon also makes raspberry, blackberry and boysenberry jam at her small organic berry farm in Chilliwack. “It’s very modest,” she told the Times. “As much as one girl can keep up with; one girl who is also a travelling musician.” Gagnon’s album, A Story About You and Me, may be her first solo effort, but she’s already an acclaimed musician as a bassist, vocalist and songwriter for Juno-nominated bluegrass band John Reischman

and the Jaybirds. As part of the tour to promote her solo CD, Gagnon performs Oct. 23 at 7:30 p.m. at the old Chilliwack Arts Centre on Henderson Avenue. Given the recent opening of the new Chilliwack Cultural Centre, and the fact the old centre is for sale, anyone nostalgic should note this may well be the last performance ever at the Henderson Avenue location. Joining Gagnon for her tour—during a break in ongoing Jaybirds touring—are John Reischman and Jim Nunally from the band, in addition to Shaun Cromwell. Prior to her time with the Jaybirds, Gagnon also worked for several years with her sister in the popular B.C.-based band Tumbleweed. As part of the Jaybirds, Gagnon has written a number of songs including “Blackberry Bramble,” “On My Way to You,” and “Home Sweet Home,” a rare collaboration that set Gagnon-penned lyrics to a Reischman melody. Her bio from the Jaybirds site describes her as bringing “a perceptive beauty to all she touches” and giving the music a “personal, homespun touch.” The Oct. 23 event is by donation and because of this, and the nature of bluegrass music, Gagnon wants to encourage the night to be a family affair. “This music is suitable for any age,” she said. “And there are not too many things you can afford to bring your whole family to. Kids like bluegrass and folk music too, they are just not sure they like it.”

ith cuts in recent years to arts fundi n g by t h e p r o vincial government, it’s becoming harder and harder for students of all ages to learn to explore their creative sides. And those looking at a career in the arts may just start to look in a different direction. But local artist John Le Flock hopes to change that perception with his ongoing arts lessons. Le Flock teaches at Julie Anne’s Art & Framing, at the Great Blue Heron Reserve and sometimes in schools. He has taught kids at Fraser Valley Distance Education and says the results are

schools, giving young kids a taste of more technical skills and equipment, such as airbrushes and electric erasers, as well as a sense of what a

career in art might look like. “There is a lot of potential in the art field for people that are interested in jobs,” he said. “There is a lot of art work for people interested in a career: the movie industry, magazines, video, computer art, advertising. The kids don’t really realize it, particularly in the younger grades.” Le Flock said he himself never had art instruction in school. He was far behind and apprenticed at a newspaper to learn. But even if kids don’t want to pursue art as a career, doing painting or drawing can be very rewarding and should be encouraged more rather than less. “It’s really sad because they keep cutting the funding for it,” he said.

Prevent

COLDS & FLUS

The only cold medicine with a money-back guarantee. Four medical doctors that wrote in their book SHARK LIVER OIL that you can prevent colds and flus. Dr. Hubert wrote since his own high-school age children took shark liver oil they have no more colds. Dr. Haimes’s grandchildren have been taking shark liver oil for 6 months and he writes they have no more infection of any kind. Read on the Bell website: “I had 3-4 flus every winter. None last 5 years.” “Amazing! All of us have no more colds.” “No more asthma, no puffer, no cold, no flus, changed my life”. In North America this is a by-product from the restaurant industry. No sharks are caught for their liver or their cartilage.

COLD SORES/VIRUSES

By Dr. C. Hammoud Ph.D.

Guaranteed to bring relief for viral infections or money refunded. For cold sores, colds, flus, bronchial and nasal infections. English scientists concluded that cold sore viruses may play a role in Alzheimer’s Disease. !Registered nurse wrote at the first sign of a cold or flu like symptoms I take Virux Viral Infections #42. It stops it right away. This product has been a great help. We know allopathic medicine does not have an answer for viruses, but nature does, using God’s pharmacy is the way to go. Janna Dodds, 45, Clifford, ON !No more cold sores, no more colds. When I felt a cold coming on I started taking #42 and the cold stayed away. Another great bonus , my cold sores stopped completely Carrie Shoonbaert, 32, Deloraine, MB. !I got herpes and truly thought my life was over.

SNORING? SLEEP APNEA? Most older men and many women snore and have sleep apnea (gasping for air) :

To my surprise, after taking Bell Sleep & Apnea Relief #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH ! Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a C-Pap machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS ! For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS !For 27 years I suffered with sleep apnea and would wake up with a hangover even though I don’t drink. After I started to use the CPAP sleep machine 3 years ago my life improved a great deal but not 100%. #23 Only after I used your Bell Snoring & Sleep Apnea Eze #23 for 2 days sleep got even better. I woke up today refreshed for the first time. Samuel Moses, Markham, ON

he Fraser Valley is well-known as the breadbasket of the province and the Okanagan certainly leads the way in British Columbia’s wine industry. But Vancouver Island’s Cowichan Valley is a fabulous place to pick up culinary delicacies—from oceanside oysters to mountain morels—and has a growing number of successful wineries. For those not from the island, the best part of a visit to the Cowichan Valley is its proximity to Victoria and the capital city’s stunning hotels and mouth-watering restaurants. On a recent birthday weekend trip with my forever-young wife and our new baby girl, we cruised out of the Fraser Valley on Saturday, over to Schwartz Bay and headed straight to the Magnolia Hotel & Spa in downtown Victoria. The Magnolia is a quaint, well-appointed boutique hotel steps from anything you’d ever want to be steps from—the harbour, restaurants, shopping and, if you are so inclined, even the legislature. We checked into a large corner room with views of the Empress, the leg and the harbour. The king-sized bed, luxurious sheets, fireplace, classy office desk and wet bar added style and panache. (Of course, the play pen took some of that away again, but we’re used to it.) After settling in, we headed down to the Prime Steakhouse, a popular downtown location for couples and business bigwigs right off Magnolia’s lobby. When I think steakhouse, I frankly have a hard time getting excited beyond, well, steak. But Prime is much more and for days after we were still talking about the clam and mussel appetizer special that had us filling up on bread to soak up the sauce. My wife also had Qualicum scallops with lemon cream and leek and chives, and I had the herb-crusted rack of lamb with red wine jus with juniper gastrique. I don’t know what a “gastrique” is and I don’t care—delicious. Having a gourmet meal in a restaurant downstairs from a well-appointed room proved particularly convenient when the baby got a little (more) restless, and so my wife had to have her chocolate molten lake dessert sent up to the room. Tough life, eh? Sunday morning, after a buffet break-

Next up, we drove back down towards the bay and along the quaint Seaside Village of Cowichan Bay to the rolling hillside farm of Hilary’s Cheese, where booths from a number of other local food producers were set up. We tried freshly caught and sauteed spot prawn skewers from Cowichan Bay Seafood. There was an incredibly rich wild mushroom (chanterelle, morel, lobster, etc.) stew made with the crop from Untamed Feast. And, of course, some incredible cheeses from Hilary’s including a soft cheese with a washed rind using blackberry port from Cherry Point Estate Wines down the road, and a variety of delightfully sharp blues and

Wining and dining the day away decadent cream cheeses. After Hilary’s we headed to Cherry Point for more vino sampling where we were once again swept away by the high quality whites, particularly the OrtegaSiegerrebe blend, which we had to take home. Local artisans had their wares on display and the Spanish owner of Cherry Point was serving up samples of his homemade paella to visitors. (And if dessert wines are your thing, both Cherry Point and Averill Creek have widelyacclaimed blackberry ports.) After Cherry Point we headed up to Organic Fair Inc., a rustic little farm producing high quality organic fair trade chocolate, spices and teas. Everyone will be getting chocolate bars for Christmas from us. So after a day of wines, cheeses, mushrooms, more wines and then chocolate,

we loped back over the Malahat to our comfortable nest at the Magnolia. A culinarily stimulating day right in our own backyard. If you go: ◗ Magnolia Hotel & Spa, Victoria’s fourdiamond, European-style luxury boutique hotel, is a great place to start your tour of the Island’s wineries. The Magnolia caters to business and vacation travellers, along with their pets. Don’t forget to check out Spa Magnolia, a full-service AVEDA spa that offers personalized treatments to rebalance, rejuvenate and refresh.

Carrie leaves to cherish her loving memory dearly beloved children, Sharon, Brenda and Richard, son-in-law Steve and her constant companion Lucky predeceased by Cuddles and Snuggles. Siblings – Lillian, Evelyn and Emil, predeceased by Mikey, Donna, Walter and parents John and Jean Hyra. Sincere thanks to Uncle Roger Parker, along with nieces Tracey, Rachel, Lisa, Suzanne, nephews Bryan and Greg who were in constant contact keeping our dear mothers spirit in a positive outlook of life. To the following, the family would like to thank Dr. K. Hirst, all of the palliative care nurses and all of the home support workers. Your support helped Mom tremendously.

Cancer June 21-July 22: This week, add one last brick to your security edifice. E.g., make a retirement fund contribution, repair the house, adjust a child’s direction, or simply get the winter larder stocked. (Apologies to southern hemi readers.) Next week, October’s slowly, quietly swelling romantic, creative, and pleasure trend will break into full bloom. Put your house in order before then. Sunday’s for mysteries, intimacies, finances. Wisdom, empathy arrive Monday/Tuesday. Be ambitious Wednesday to Friday, but be careful also: opposition lurks. Happiness and social delights arrive Friday night, Saturday! Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The emphasis continues on communications, details, paperwork, errands, and casual acquaintances. Perform necessary tasks here quickly, now – Saturday will bring a month of domestic interests, and a sluggish ‘hibernation’ mood. You’ve already had a good taste of these domestic, homeoriented themes during September/October, but next week they will burgeon into full-fledged concerns, projects. Meanwhile, Sunday’s for relationships. Mysteries, successful intimate and financial actions fill Monday/Tuesday. Do your research: lucky discoveries await! Be wise Wednesday-Friday: dishonesty loses! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Continue to chase money, pay bills, search for viable smaller purchases. (Beware investments.) Enjoy and use the relative calm of this week – Saturday will begin a month of hectic (though happy) rushing. Tackle chores Sunday morning. Exciting meetings, lucky relationships and very valid opportunities arise Sunday night through Tuesday. Your investment, debt, intimate, sexual, lifestyle, health and subconscious zones come to the fore Wednesday to Friday. Take care here. Impulse might reward you Wednesday, but it sure won’t Thursday. Wisdom, gentle, mental love, travel Saturday.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Try to seal any deals, sign agreements, bid for opportunities, schedule/plan a first meeting, or bump into that attractive stranger. Remain diplomatic, accent the needs and desires of others. Your secret, intimate side has been ‘awake’ for some weeks now; a powerful sexual liaison could occur – be honest, ethical. Make sure both parties are free to love. In practical or business links, profit awaits – and you have ‘the edge.’ Be social, flirty Sunday. Retreat, plan and deal with agencies Monday/Tuesday: lucky results!t You shine, energy rises Wednesday onward: step lightly, carefully! Taurus April 20-May 20: Relationship, relocation, contract, negotiation and similar opportunities continue. So far, every opportunity has contained a flaw, restriction or ‘attached burden.’ But from October 28 onward (into early next January) opportunities will tend not to have a ‘catch.’ Contemplate this before you jump on anything this week or early next. Waiting could be lucky! Use this week to clean up chores. Sunday accents your duties, prestige. Happiness, friends, optimism shine on you Monday/Tuesday. Rest, plan WednesdayFriday. Your energy returns Saturday: so does fresh air, new excitement! Gemini May 21-June 20: It’s your last week of romance, creative urges and speculative success, so pursue these. Pleasure is necessary: it re-invigorates us so we can face, succeed in, chores and drudgery (which will return this Saturday onward). Yes, your ‘romantic month’ so far hasn’t been free of health and work frustrations, and I can’t promise these are over. To some degree, it will be 2011 before your wishes can comettrue, or unalloyed happiness revisit. Before this ‘happiness period’ starts, there is one last duty, career effort or ‘status change’ you must engage in – these shine with luck Monday/Tuesday!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness remain high. Your money/earnings luck is also good, through early January. Plan ahead – from next week through November you can capitalize on an old (or build a new) earnings project, especially if a partner is involved. (An old project/idea is better than a new.) Sunday morning’s for romance or a creative, sports, speculative or pleasure venture. Tackle chores this night to Tuesday – luck’s high, you could expand your employment or find another way to increase your income. Relationships excite yet have built-in obstacles Wednesday-Friday. Saturday’s sexy. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: It’s your last week of weariness, Scorpio. Saturday will bring a month of rising energy,charisma and effectiveness.Meanwhile, rest deeply (especially Sunday) contemplate and plan your future actions. Wrap up your dealings with government agencies or institutions. Expect creative, romantic or speculative luck Monday/Tuesday. But tackle chores Wednesday to Friday – carefully, and loyally. (Harmless ‘time off’ or a sensual temptation can dent your reputation.) Relationships, exciting meetings arrive Friday night, Saturday, just as a month of success and new starts arrives! Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Enjoy this last week of celebration, wish fulfillment (and new wishes) optimism, popularity, flirtations and social delights – Saturday will bring a month of quietude and retreat. Run errands Sunday morning. Luck aids your efforts on domestic, real estate, security and ‘mother nature’ (e.g., gardening) fronts Monday/ Tuesday. Family members say/do things that bring you a glow of quiet joy. Chase romance, a gamble, sports or pleasure Wednesday to Friday – but carefully: illusion’s on one side, hard reality on the other. Tackle important chores Saturday.

Oct. 17 - Oct. 23 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Remain ambitious. Work hard, show your talents to VIPs, push projects ahead. But sense a subtle change: future weeks will shunt your most effective efforts from straight-ahead work, to the social level. Schmoozing, networking, will reward.That starts Saturday. Before then, Sunday morning brings money luck (more valuably, money dreams/ideas). Run errands, communicate, handle details and paperwork Monday/Tuesday. Security, home, business foundations grab your attention Wednesday to Friday – proceed steadily, cautiously. Romance, pleasure surge Friday night, Saturday! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Your sweet, understanding mood continues. You’re dreamy, inspired – and charismatic – Sunday morning. Your money luck shines this night through Tuesday. Chase it, buy/sell, seek agreements, ask for a raise, etc. Affections might ‘build’ with a business or career contact. The future draws you Wednesday to Friday – your popularity and optimism soar! Seek entertainment, join a group, have fun. But take care, too: if you enjoy yourself too much, a boss or parent grows suspicious. A friend who flirts might have a cruel game in mind. Be a home-body Saturday: rest, putter, repair. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: This is your last week of mystery and secrecy, Pisces. Saturday will bring a month of enlightenment,understanding and compatible minds. You’ll tell the world what you know. But first, this week: Research, rest, remain in the background Sunday. This night through Tuesday raises your energy, charisma and effectiveness – jump into a lucky investment, debt-reduction, health, lifestyle, research, or intimate project. (Intimate project? Pregnancy, for instance.) Anything that will effect a beneficial (and the deeper the better) change in your life. Money caution Wednesday-Friday! Errands Saturday. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
