Senior shot and stabbed

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

ounties say they found “a small amount of growing marijuana” at the home of a Chilliwack senior who was shot and stabbed in an apparent home invasion Tuesday evening. The 72-year-old victim is in hospital and in stable condition. Police are still looking for his attacker. RCMP believe that the home was targeted, although they can not say for certain that the marijuana was the reason for the attack. “We’re now exploring it as one

The suspect left on foot and, despite the use of police dog units, was not found. The victim, meanwhile, dragged himself across the street to a neighbour’s home. He had a gash on the left side of the head and a gunshot wound to his right arm, according to Ken Lefebvre, who lives across the street. Lefebvre said he was in his house when he heard dogs start to bark.

He thought nothing of it, even when his own dogs started to “kick up a hell of a fuss,” which was not normal. Then his next door neighbour banged on his door. “He said we need help. Call 911. Kenny’s been beat up.” Lefebvre rushed out of his house, phone in hand. He said the victim

said to Leclerc, chilliwacktimes.com who pleaded guilty to impaired driving causing bodily harm last month. “You should have known not to get behind that wheel.” Earlier, Judge Richard Romano heard that, with a blood-alcohol content of .210—more than twoand-a-half times the legal limit—the 48-year-old Leclerc had sped down Chilliwack River Road on Sept. 25, tailgating cars and driving aggressively. While attempting to pass one vehicle on the shoulder and grass, struck 15-year-old Christopher Malloway, breaking his shoulder, nose and both legs, and leaving him with a concussion.

Police say a man knocked on the victim’s door, in the 46000 block of 5th Avenue, around 6 p.m. Tuesday. When the door was opened, the man showed the senior a gun. A struggle ensued during which the senior was shot and stabbed.

City nipping it in the bud BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

ayor Sharon Gaetz has had concerns about medicinal marijuana growers for years and now she wants the city to restrict the activity using zoning bylaws. “The city has really no authority in enforcing any aspects of the criminal code but we do have the responsibility of enforcing health and safety issues and this is becoming a health and safety issue,” Gaetz said at city council on Monday. Council endorsed a recommendation “that city staff explore the development of a bylaw regarding medicinal marijuana grow operations that would include zoning restrictions.” The recommendation came out of the Oct. 13 meeting of the public safety advisory committee during which a July bylaw banning medical marijuana in Pitt Meadows was discussed. Pitt Meadows council passed a land use bylaw amendment ensuring grow operations are not permitted as

Staff told to explore bylaw that would restrict medical marijuana growing to certain areas home-based businesses in any city zone nor as agricultural operations. The bylaw applies to those with Health Canada licences to grow for other people. Gaetz said in Chilliwack someone growing “two or three plants on their windowsill” is not a concern. But those with a federal licence to grow through the Medical Marihuana Access Regulations “can grow any amount” with no regulations on lights or size. The mayor said the city is concerned about electricity use, water issues, disposal of fertilizers, fire danger and theft if criminals find out about the plants. In March of this year, a 53-year-old licensed marijuana grower in east Chilliwack was targeted by two men who entered his home in an attempt to steal his crop. But critics say the city’s stance

amounts to fear-mongering over critically ill individuals trying to access medicine. “I think it is yet another step towards the continued marginalization and stigmatization of medical marijuana production,” said Kirk Tousaw, a Vancouver lawyer and executive director of Beyond Prohibition Foundation, an organization that seeks to repeal marijuana prohibition. “When municipalities begin to take steps in this direction, what they are doing, consciously or otherwise, is essentially stamping out the ability for patients to produce medicine for themselves or other critically ill Canadians. I don’t think that’s acceptable policy for municipalities.” As for the health and safety issues, Tousaw says it is nonsense that the growing of plants indoors—

something done by countless people—is inherently dangerous. He suggested the move by Gaetz and council will backfire and create further health and safety issues as medical marijuana growers are further stigmatized and forced to go underground. “What Chilliwack will ensure is that people are not going to come forward and hire contractors and pull permits and do it to code because they are stigmatized thanks to this behaviour,” he said. For Tousaw and other legalization activists there is one thing they agree with Gaetz about: marijuana growing should be taken out of homes. “Obviously it would be better if people could grow for 15, 50 or 500 people, then you could have a business and take advantage of economies of scale and do it in a warehouse,” he said.

early eight months after Chilliwack General Hospital’s new emergency room treated its first patients, interim emergency room manager Judy Beveridge says doctors and nurses are delighted with the new space. “They love the area. It’s functional, it’s modern, it’s new equipment, it’s really quite nice,” said Beveridge, a registered nurse herself. Beveridge says more people are using the new emergency room than the old ER. She’s not sure exactly why that may be and doesn’t have data on whether waiting times have shrunk or lengthened.

But she she says the new ER, which is designed to maximize efficiency, allows doctors to see more patients. “I think they’re seeing patients quicker and discharging them quicker,” she said. Then there are the benefits that can’t be measured in money or minutes spent. “I think it’s just providing more comfortable care for the public,” she said. Outside the ER, three large waiting rooms provide lots of space to patients and their families. Inside, the ER is focused around a central desk that allows for the smooth flow of patients and information. The emergency room is three times the size of the old space and features important additions like several isolation and seclusion rooms. The result is less cramped conditions and safer care. There’s also less commotion. “Even when it’s really busy it’s quiet. There seems to be a calm about it that’s nice,” said Beveridge Asked about any speedbumps along the way, Beveridge notes that

Interim ER manager Judy Beveridge says all’s well with new facility. people require some time to get used to a new space and to learn where everything is. Speaking in the very bright third waiting room, she gestures to the still-visible construction and says that finding one’s way around the hospital continues to be a challenge. The hospital has relied on volunteer guides to get patients from point A to point B in the unmarked maze of hallways and foyers.

“Our volunteers have been so valuable because they’ve been wayfinding for people coming into the hospital,” she says. Soon, though, things should revert back to normal. The first phase of construction is scheduled to wrap up Dec. 22, meaning the main entrance will reopen and other signs of the hospital’s momentous facelift should fade from view.

Shocked to find incinerator on list Stam says it’s a clarion call to ‘fight a little harder’ BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

ayor Sharon Gaetz was not happy to see the Minister of Finance including Metro Vancouver’s proposed and controversial waste incinerator in the quarterly major project inven-

tory released last Friday. The major projects inventory lists all major projects proposed, planned or underway in the province valued at $15 million or more. The highlights section of the press release issued Friday said: “The Major Projects Inventory (MPI) also includes 47 clean technology projects, with an estimated value of $17.2 billion, such as the proposed $500 million Metro Vancouver Waste-to-Energy Incineration Facility.” Ga e t z w a s n’t t h e o n l y o n e shocked to see the incinerator on the list. Coun. Chuck Stam brought the issue up at the afternoon meeting of city council on Monday.

involving alcohol, vandalism, illegal dumping and off-leash dogs. Off-leash dogs have been a particular problem at Island 22, and in a press release issued Dec. 2 the FVRD reminds residents to always have dogs on a leash outside of the designated off-leash area. Warnings will continue to be issued for bylaw offences, but as of Jan. 1, 2011 staff will have the option to issue fines ranging from $100 to $300.

He was going into shock.” Lefebvre just moved to the area last year, but has spoken to the victim occasionally and said “he’s a quiet guy, a good neighbour who doesn’t bother anybody.

that are simply at the proposal stage, some of which have been on the list for years. In the Chilliwack area, eight projects are included. The $52 million Chilliwack secondary and the $31 million Rosedale elementar y and middle school replacements were there. Also included were three run-ofriver hydroelectric projects, a $20 million B.C. Transmission Corporation upgrade and a $50 million, 480-unit residential project near Chilliwack Mountain. In Agassiz, the massive Hemlock Valley Mountain Ski Resort expansion was on the list. And in Harrison Hot Springs, three run-of-river hydroelectric projects were on the MPI..

the incinerator was on the MPI. Earlier this year, Metro Vancouver’s solid waste committee recommended building a wasteto-energy plant in the region. The plan was panned by the Fraser Valley Regional District, Gaetz and even the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce. “I am extremely disappointed in the decision of some of the members of Metro’s Solid Waste Committee’s to recommend the in-region incinerator option to the board,” Gaetz told the Times July 22. “The reasoning employed is not only unneighbourly but has no basis in science or economics.” The MPI does include projects

“That was very, very disappointing,” Stam said of the inclusion on the MPI. “But it emboldens us to fight a little harder and push a little harder.” Stam told council about a recent meeting he participated in as Fraser Valley Regional District vice-chair with Environment Minister Murray Coell and Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development Stephanie Cadieux regarding Metro’s waste plan. “We outlined our case against Metro’s proposal to built a waste incinerator,” he said. At Monday’s meeting, council directed Gaetz to write a letter to the provincial government asking why

Jail and rehab for man behind killing A

Chilliwack man was sentenced to a year in jail and substantial time in rehab after stabbing and nearly killing another man earlier this year. But as Supreme Court Justice Brian Joyce sent Thomas Kipp to prison Wednesday, he told Kipp that he was fortunate his victim had survived and that he was not facing a murder charge. “Mr. Kipp is fortunate that the stabbing of the victim did not result in a death and that he is not facing more serious repercussions than he is now,” Joyce told the court. Kipp, 24, was convicted both of aggravated assault and assault with a weapon. On June 19, Kipp’s victim was left clinging to life after being stabbed in a fight. Kipp admitted to stabbing the victim while high and drunk, but claimed that he was simply trying to push the other man away and didn’t realize that he was holding a knife. While the events surrounding the fight remain sketchy, in part because several subpoenaed witnesses did not come forward, Joyce found Kipp’s claim “simply not credible.” Kipp had said that he had brandished the knife to scare off the man before the fight. But he said he forgot about it during the confrontation.

Joyce though, didn’t buy it, pointing out that the deep wound sustained by the victim didn’t match a shoving action by someone holding a knife. Kipp’s suggestion that he did so “is totally implausible, if not physically impossible.” He told the court that “I am satisfied that Mr. Kipp knowingly and intentionally stabbed [the victim] in the chest.” During sentencing, the court heard that Kipp was addicted to drugs and alcohol at the time of the offence and was on parole. He had a substantial criminal record, chiefly for drugs and property crime offences, but also including two assault charges. Crown counsel and the defence entered a joint submission, asking for 18 months in jail—six months of which had already been served—along with two years on probation, which would be served, to start, in a rehab facility from which he would not be permitted to leave without the permission of his probation officer. While Crown lawyer Paul Blessin called the submission “a significant step up” from past sentences, Joyce noted that “it’s also a significant crime. “He is very, very lucky that he was not facing murder charges,” said Joyce. “I think that the sentence that is sought . . . is probably at the low end of the scale but I’m prepared to accept the joint submission, given the focus on a lengthy period of probation with some strong conditions.”

Drivers and Cyclists Sharing Winter Roads

British Columbia’s unseasonably early snowfall in late November brought untold grief to numerous families. Crashes in Chilliwack, Chase, Revelstoke, Savona, Campbell River, and Surrey resulted in six people killed and at least five people injured.

THE ROAD RULES

Reports of the various crashes cited lack of Cedric Hughes snow tires and loss of control on icy roadways as particulars in some of the cases. Just before the snowfall, Vancouver police had warned lower mainland drivers that if they were caught blocking traffic in the snow for lack of winter tires they could be ordered to equip their cars with snow tires and resume driving only after an inspection confirmed compliance with the order. The fine for non-compliance: up to $500. Reports also mentioned fines of up to $100 under a Vancouver bylaw prohibiting obstructing a roadway or driving without due consideration under the Motor Vehicle Act for lack of winter tires having a tread depth of at least three to five millimetres.

• Slow down and leave lots of space between you and the car in front to allow for longer braking times or slipping while braking. • Add extra travel time to deal with the slower moving traffic conditions you will inevitably encounter. • Stick to the main roads, which are more likely than side roads to have been sanded, salted and plowed.

•Improve your vehicle’s traction by adding extra weight —sandbags for

example— to the truck box or trunk. • For longer trips, pack an emergency kit of extra clothing and blankets, water and a thermos with a hot beverage… just in case.

Police also advised pedestrians to make eye contact with drivers and to ensure that before stepping onto Barrister & Solicitor the roadway, whether at controlled intersections or at pedestrian crosswalks, all vehicles were stopped completely. Reminders about equipping your vehicle for winter driving and about winter driving techniques are all to be expected at this time of year. What is not expected but increasingly should be are reminders that when the snow clears and the rain resumes, cyclists are back on the roads. The Vancouver Sun recently reported that, “The City of Vancouver estimates 60,000 trips a day are made by bicycle in the city, with more than 3,500 cyclists commuting to work downtown.” Darkness, cooler temperatures, fog, sleet, showers, and even snowfall leftovers aren’t deterring the growing contingent of dedicated cyclists. In the same article, The Vancouver Sun also listed the ten most dangerous intersections for cyclists in Vancouver accompanied by a photograph of a young female bike rider standing beside her bike who was broadsided by a vehicle at Clark and East 10th Avenue last June by a car reportedly running a red light. Online commentators noted that in the night-time photo shown in the newspaper (presumably taken some considerable time after the collision), she was dressed in dark clothing, was not wearing a helmet and apparently had no light on her bike.

◗ Opinion

Our grad record is abysmal

lose to one-third of local students have failed to attain Dogwood diploma even given an extra year. That puts this school district lagging way behind the provincial average. Our aboriginal students have fared even worse. The most important responsibility and solemn duty of a school board is to ensure that all students finish high school ready for college or the world of work. Sadly, we’re failing to meet such an obligation. Why does such dismal performance continue? The district superintendent herself had admitted that “the district has a problem at Grade 7 level,” and that “ we still have a lot of work to do...” That is quite a confession! Still, in spite of the superintendent’s aspirational slogan: “every student a graduate,” our record is not great. Now, according to a John Hopkins university report, by sixth grade the signs are often there for who is likely to dropout. In other words, dropouts can be spotted as early as Grade 6. How to fix our high schools, then? First, start early, with the elementary grades: the “smart start;” then move to the middle grades: the “forgotten middle;” and finally to the high school. Let’s not forget that the system as it stands is grossly mismanaged

DR. LAL SHARMA

Be Our Guest and fiscally wasteful. Even the B.C. comptroller-general agrees. The boards have all the money they need but a dearth of evidence to support effective use of existing resources. According to the Throne Speech: “Smarter approaches will allow more resources to be focused on students’ learning needs while less is spent on administrative costs.” For example, the expensive special education, so often blamed for cost over-runs, happens to be a failure on many fronts—kids languishing in special-ed ghettos. Done right, roughly half of that money can be saved. Prevention is wholesale, remediation retail. We are not getting the biggest bang for our buck here. To repeat, the proof of pudding is in the eating. Right now, fewer than 70 per cent of students are finishing high school with a diploma on time. And, one of the dirty secrets of this wonderful country is how many Canadians don’t have complete command of basic literacy and numeracy skills. Here in

B.C., the number of semi-literates runs as high as 42 per cent. And it gets worse. According to a recent poll, four in 10 Canadians can’t even calculate eight per cent interest on $1,000. The need for a clearer focus on effective teaching practices and science-based programs can’t be overstated. Schools succeed where there is a strong sense of direction, high expectation for academic work, use of scientific, evidence-based programs, regular assessment of progress, an orderly school climate, a strong emphasis on teacher-directed instruction, and a serious recognition of parents as school’s real clients. As for the “more money” mantra in these tough times, the real message ought to be this: for worldclass education, it’s the efficiency and effectiveness, stupid. My advice to the local trustees: now when you’ve taken “a walk on the wild side” by putting Christmas into what is supposed to be a secular system, get on with the real job, namely all students graduating. Remember, lifetimes of poverty and helplessness are the likely consequences of schools that do not teach effectively and would not change either. ◗ Dr. Lal Sharma, PhD, is a former school trustee and university professor.

he busiest retail season of the year is upon us and that means those looking to scam, steal and defraud are licking their chops. The RCMP have a list of extra precautions you should take when shopping in person or online, advice that is prudent and timely. No one thinks they are going to be the victim of a scam until it happens. For those shopping in person: • When paying with a credit or debit card, never lose sight of your card and whenever possible, swipe your card yourself. • Never leave receipts at bank machines, bank wickets, in trash cans or at unattended gasoline pumps. • Do not keep a written record of your bank PIN number(s) or your social insurance number in your wallet or hand bag. For those shopping on-line: • Shop only from your home computer rather than a public one. • Verify secure connections. When shopping online, do not enter any financial information if you see a broken-key or open padlock symbol on your Internet browser. • Do not send confidential personal or financial information by e-mail. • Monitor your bank and credit card and statements on-line. Electronic statements allow you to review your purchases and payments as they happen rather than waiting until the end of the month to review your paper statement. Other tips: • Promptly remove mail from your mailbox after delivery and do not leave pieces of mail lying around your residence or office. • Shred or otherwise destroy pre-approved credit card applications, credit card receipts, bills and related information when they’re no longer needed. This holiday season, be a Scrooge with your personal information. But if you feel you’ve been victimized by a scam or a fraud report it to the police immediately.

No justification for drunk driving—ever Editor: After reading Mr. Keith Nerbas’ letter to the editor regarding his brilliant, controlled and perchance even virtuous driving after teetering over the .08 alcohol limit, I can only presume that the aforementioned Mr. Nerbas was well past halfway down a bottle of vodka, when he penned his virtuous epistle. Kudos to Keith wherever he might be tonight, either straddling the double yellow lines as he exits the parking lot of some bar, or acquainting his tires with that tantalizing balancing act of remaining on the ashphalt shoulder, while a drainage ditch alternately beckons him nose first into watery sobriety. I noticed that his careful, considered drunk driving was to ensure that he would be able to, amongst other things, drive his children to sports. Stone sober as I am at this moment, I wonder if Keith ever drove over that silly old .08, with his children to keep him company. What a fine example to set. “Look honey, Daddy is a much more careful driver after tippling. He does not want to be pulled over by the fussy old RCMP, so let’s all play ‘watchthe-red-light-turn-to-green together.’” Oh what fun! I cannot get over how much whining I have heard about the need to be able to drink and drive, in the last few months. My husband and I have had a policy for years, that there is absolutely no drinking and driving. If I drink at all in an evening, then I do not drive at all. Since the day I got my licence—never. Six years ago my mother was killed in a car crash. She was a passenger in a car that was thrown 40 feet through the air, causing the sod to concertina like folded fabric on the side of a highway in Alberta, as the vehicle came to a stop. She was crushed from the impact. No mortician could hide the pulp and mush that was her body; hair curled and lips painted pink for an open casket funeral. He did the best he could. The man who caused the accident was not drunk. He had not been drinking. He made a silly error. The kind of silly error that we

all make at some time or other. And by the grace of a moment, no accident occurs. However, on that day, his error killed his wife and my mother. Every day, he lives with that. I think of him often, and wish him peace. The day after the accident, I sat by his bed at the hospital and ached for him. Forgave him. I cannot imagine what it would be like to survive such an accident, only to be told that your wife is dead and so is your friend. I cannot imagine what it would be like to survive such an accident knowing that one had been drinking prior to getting behind the wheel. The gut-numbing realization that maybe one’s need to have another beer before heading home, the need to inflate one’s ego with visions of “sober” drunk driving, before heading home could leave another human bloodied under the wheels of a drunk’s vehicle. For every fool, even the old fools, so cocky about their careful drunk driving of 40 years (I’m talking to you, Keith), I hope that they never have to experience waking up in a hospital, broken and bereft, to have to live with the folly of their ridiculous beliefs, knowing that someone has been killed, all because they could not enjoy an evening without some kind of booze in one hand and car keys in the other. There is no justification that can ever be offered. Edith Wallace Ryder Lake

Be aware of surroundings Editor: I’ve been reading the sto-

ries about getting those big trucks off the road. Having been a truck driver for the past 38 years and having to maneuvre around all kinds of small and large towns and villages hasn’t been easy, but you have to be aware of your surroundings at all times, especially when you are somewhere new and don’t know where the crosswalks are. The trucks I’ve been driving where a lot bigger, heavier, and longer than the truck that hit the pedestrian, but I’ve noticed in the time that I’ve been driving truck that a lot of “four wheelers” as us truck drivers like to call them are in their own little world not aware of what is going on around them, either talking on the cell, drinking coffee, putting on makeup, etc. Age doesn’t make a difference either. I’ve seen young people and old people running stop signs, red lights, passing on double solid lines with traffic coming at them, and having to hit the shoulder so there isn’t a crash. Will Klassen Chilliwack

Don’t lump all of us together Editor: I feel deeply for the family loss. It hits close to home as my mother lives on Mary Street and I worry for her safety as well. When I am driving anywhere I take due caution for pedestrians. I abide by the laws and I am curteous. But here is the shocker—I drive a truck. Not a huge truck but fair size. I don’t have it for an ego boost or to look cool. Actually, it’s to

Getting burned at the till again Editor: While shopping in the local mall, I noticed the Canadian prices of books and magazines have crept right back up to the price differences when we had a 70 cent dollar. Back when our dollar hit par, there was bit of public outrage over this. Some retailers responded by charging the U.S. prices and some magazines brought the printed cover price down to within five per cent of the U.S. price. Now, despite our dollar being near par for a couple of years, the prices are again 40 per cent or more higher. Yet consumers blindly pay the difference despite repeated news articles on the subjuct creating awareness. Wasn’t the HST supposed to drop prices anyway? More lies. Here’s an idea and also a great Christmas gift—a subscription. Bypass the greedy or dishonest middlemen totally. The magazine and authors get paid the same and you pay less. Whether the price difference is the fault of the retailer, distributor or importer is irrelevent, we are getting burned. We can burn back. Gregg van der Sluys Rosedale

City must act transparently Editor: I am writing in response to your articles on the proposed gravel conveyor down Vedder Mountain. After the information sign was posted on Vedder Mountain Road this autumn, I too was interested in what might be happening on the steep wilderness area on the north face of Vedder Mountain. After calling the Minis-

try of Mines, I received an outline of a proposal blast out a gravel truck loading yard in the base of Vedder Mountain and to run an overground gravel conveyor to it down the mountain slopes. It seemed implausible for so many reasons, most of which have been discussed in the Times. I have two concerns about this project that I believe warrant further mention. First, the proposed development area is the headwater for Street Creek, which is a salmon spawning stream and one of the last Fraser Valley homes of an endangered tiny fish, the Salish Sucker. Second, the development will not only affect residents of Yarrow and those travelling along Vedder Mountain Road, but also those who enjoy views of Vedder Mountain from their homes or the recreational paths in Sardis and Greendale. Similar to Mr. Froese, when I first contacted the City of Chilliwack regarding this matter, I was told they had no knowledge of the proposal, which I now know was untrue. Since this was my first experience with city hall, I was surprised by their obfuscation, but after reading Mr. Henderson’s opinion piece yesterday I am appalled to learn this is not uncommon practice. I am hoping that the local government of Chilliwack rethinks its approach and is willing to stand up for its Official Community Plan and the residents of Yarrow and Sardis. In order for Chilliwack’s government to be taken seriously, it needs to make a commitment to act as a modern, transparent administration and not like an old boys club run by insiders out to help their friends make money.

Chilliwack Bruins defenceman Emerson Hrynyk signs autographs (left) following Tuesday’s game, which started at 10:30 a.m. to allow more than 3,000 middle school students to attend. The cheering and screaming kids made for a wild atmosphere.

Healthy field trip for kids BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

super-sized field trip for more than 3,000 middle school students was a super-sized success, according to organizers of Tuesday’s Chilliwack Bruins morning game at Prospera Centre. Every middle school student in the district attended the game, which started at 10:30 a.m., and while the result was a little chaotic and a lot noisy, the consensus is that the event was a screaming triumph. “I think the day was a tremendous success,” said Bruins president Darryl Porter. “Not only [were the kids] having a good time, but they did get a lesson in healthy living.” School board superintendent Corinne McCabe agreed. “I know the kids had a good time,” she said, adding that the healthy living component of the event—which featured lessons and a quiz on the arena’s centre ice scoreboard—”gave the kids some things to think about.”

Prospera Centre wasn’t entirely full, but the announced crowd of more than 4,400 was larger than any in the past two and a half years for the Bruins. And while the students were loud, even (especially!) during intermission when they crammed the concourse, fans and season ticket holders like Stan Nickel and Ken Poirier were more than happy to have more company. “It’s the right kind of noise,” said Poirier. “I wish we could have this rink full all the time,” added Nickel, who gave credit to the Bruins organization. “I think this is a real good example of them being part of this community.” Looking at the scoreboard, which saw the Bruins trailing 4-3 after two periods, he added: “If they win the game it would be even better.” A.D. Rundle grade 7 students Courtney Cole and her friend Ariah Lear were even more enthusiastic. “I think it’s awesome because I love hockey,” Cole told the Times. She said the students were learning much about

how to live healthy, from the number of calories one should consume in a day to the stress-reducing effects of exercise. The message may need to be repeated a couple more times though; Cole and Lear spoke about their learning experience while eating large cheeseburgers and the biggest hit seemed to be the concession. Both the school district and the Bruins say they would like to repeat the field trip and make it an annual event. They hope to meet in the new year to discuss what worked and what could be done better, including improvements to what Porter called “the whole food experience.” “There are things we can tweak but overall it was a wonderful launch to something we hope can become an annual affair,” he said. One of those areas in need of improvement was the game’s result, which ended 5-4 in favour of Swift Current, in large part because of a 19-year-old party pooper from Winnipeg named Cody Eakin. Eakin scored three goals and added an assist. For a full game story see page 24.

“IN IT TO WIN IT” Unemployment rate BRUINS CHRISTMAS PACK Hiring at Stream, Galaxy Cinemas and Walmart has profound effect on local numbers BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

ovember’s jobless rate in Chilliwack fell to its lowest level in two years at 6.3 per cent. Sometimes the unemployment rate going up or down can be a factor of a shrinkage in the labour force—those looking for work— but last month the labour force actually increased by 400 people in Chilliwack. Approximately 1,300 jobs were created last month to 41,600, up from 40,300 in October, according to Statistics Canada. The Chilliwack unemployment rate hit a high this year of 11.1 per cent in April. The March 2009 rate of 12.5 per cent was nearly double last month’s numbers. Hiring at Stream and new jobs created at Walmart and Galaxy Cinemas likely helped the numbers, which should be further

helped in coming months as Home Depot is hiring for its store at Eagle Landing, slated to open in spring 2011. The 6.3 per cent rate for November dropped from 8.4 per cent in October, 9.2 per cent in September and 9.7 per cent in August. Abbotsford, which had the same 8.4 per cent unemployment rate in October, actually saw its rate jump to 8.9 per cent last month. The British Columbia rate has hovered around 7.5 per cent for most of the year and dropped from 7.4 per cent in October to 6.9 per cent last month. Canada-wide, employment edged up by 15,000 in November, and the unemployment rate fell 0.3 percentage points to 7.6 per cent, the lowest since Jan. 2009 In Chilliwack, the change was dramatic as the unemploment rate dropped from 8.4 per cent to 6.3 per cent in one month, the lowest rate since November 2008 when it was 6.1 per cent. When looking at Chilliwack’s employment statistics, Statistics Canada says it’s important to remember that the sample size is small and that the numbers can have a higher variability than larger centres. And because Statistics Canada keeps track of dwellings, job losses that affect the rate of unemployment could be in other communities to which Chilliwack residents commute.

CHRISTMAS IS COMING...

he Chilliwack Fire Department raised record amounts of food and funds during its 10th annual Christmas Food Drive Monday. Members of Emergency Social Services, St. John’s Ambulances and Chilliwack Search and Rescue helped firefighters collect, transport, sort and load more than 300 boxes of canned food and dry goods in barely three hours. Between 16,000 and 18,000 food items, along with $2,500 in cash, was collected. The door-to-door food drive exceeded last year’s total by the staggering 4,000 food items. All food will be donated to the

Salvation Army Food Bank. “It w a s a re s o u n d i n g success thanks to the great support of the community,” said assistant fire chief Jeff Ullyot. “The fire department is very grateful.” A five-ton truck donated by National Rentals also made the drive possible. Despite the approximately 100 emergency workers involved in Monday’s food drive, only a fraction of homes in Chilliwack were contacted. Anyone who wants to make a donation can drop off canned or packaged food at Hall No. 1 at the corner of Cheam and Young roads between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. until Dec. 23.

Purchase a little less FAITH, from page 18 celebrated in a very different manner than we celebrate today. A baby was born to a young couple. Angels announced the birth to the poorest of the poor who came to worship. Later on wisemen came to bring gifts to this Holy Child. The “Conspiracy” is an attempt to move Christmas back to its origins—one gift at a time. It is a call to see that God came to make a difference in our world by dealing with the sin sickness that infects every human being and our world at large. The change in our thinking needs to include how we live our lives today and into the future. The premise is to spend less, give more, worship fully and love all. The early adopters took a challenge to provide clean drinking water to areas of the world where this can make a huge difference to the health of a community.

It might seem to be a simple thing but it can make a huge difference for the people affected by water-borne illness. There are many needs locally that need our help— not just our money but our presence. Can I challenge us to look at purchasing one less gift and giving the money to a local charity? What about giving more relationally by making gifts for your family? Go to www.RethinkChristmas.com to check out some ideas. Taking it one step further, how about being present with a group that is working at caring for the least of these in our community? Who is going to take up the challenge if you don’t? I would hope that we wouldn’t just sing of peace on Earth and goodwill to all but would actually make a good attempt to live it out in the spirit of the One we celebrate, Jesus. ◗ Reg Toews is a pastor with Greendale MB Church.

Hammer time puts Alendal in provincial draw

a y l e i g h A l e n d a l ’s Chilliwack junior girl’s curling rink used the hammer at just the right moment to smash their way into the Junior Girls Provincial Curling Championships. After losing their first three games at the Junior Women’s Coastal Playdown in Victoria last weekend, Alendal’s rink swept their last two games to claim the final Coastal seed for the provincial tournament. Alendal, who skips but throws third, and teammates Stephanie Prinse, Amanda Tipper and Ali Renwick won

when it counted most. The rink blew out Bailey Freeman’s Mission team 11-1 in their first do-or-die game before playing a tight draw against Brooklyn Leitch’s Cloverdale rink. Leitch had blown out their Chilliwack opponents 8-2 in just eight ends on Saturday. But the team’s played a closer game on Sunday with a very different result. Tied at three after the seventh end, Alendal put three points on the board in the ninth to claim victory and the prized provincial spot.

CIBC branch proudly celebrates 100 years of serving downtown Chilliwack $5,000 donation to Paci!c Riding for Developing Abilities to mark the occasion. Chilliwack, December 7, 2010 - Local CIBC branch manager Michael Regan and his staff celebrated CIBC’s 100th anniversary of serving Chilliwack clients with an Open House. Guests at the downtown Chilliwack branch at 9245 Young Road enjoyed cake and refreshments, browsed a display of historical photos and entered to win special door prizes. To further mark the occasion, CIBC also presented a $5,000 donation to Paci"c Riding for Developing Abilities. “For 100 years we have been helping our Chilliwack clients meet their "nancial needs and achieve what matters to them,” said Mike Stevenson, CIBC’s Senior Vice-President of Retail Markets for Western Canada. “Today is also very special for us as we mark this milestone in our local history by giving back to Paci"c Riding for Developing Abilities, an organization that allows disabled children to learn and grow through horsemanship.” Paci"c Riding for Developing Abilities provides therapeutic horseback riding for children with

physical and/or mental disabilities. With three branches in BC, the Chilliwack branch of Paci"c Riding for Developing Abilities was established in 1983 with one pony and a handful of volunteers. Today, the branch serves 33 riders with "ve specially selected therapy horses and the generosity of 30 volunteers. Therapeutic riding is known to be an effective method of providing recreation, therapy and interaction with social, physical and emotional bene"ts. “We are absolutely delighted to receive this donation,” said Pat Fuller, Program Coordinator, Paci"c Riding for Developing Abilities. “As an organization we have been seeking sponsorship for each of our horses and CIBC’s generous contribution will cover the cost of board and lodging over the next year for ‘Lenny’, a 9-year-old Norwegian Fjord. Norwegian Fjords are a relatively small but very strong breed with a wonderfully placid temperament, perfect for the six riders a week aged 5 - 18 that Lenny looks after.” Long-time clients of the Chilliwack branch were also recognized, including two clients who "rst opened accounts at the branch with the Bank of Commerce in 1943, bringing a combined total of 134 years of loyalty. “At CIBC we recognize that each client is unique and strive to provide "nancial services and advice that re!ects the diverse needs of those we serve,”

added Stevenson. “We are proud to celebrate the many relationships we’ve forged over the years in this community with our clients as we look forward to serving Chilliwack for many more years to come.” BRANCH HISTORY The Canadian Bank of Commerce "rst opened in Chilliwack on December 27, 1910. The branch moved into a new building, a triangularshaped branch at the apex of a lot bounded by Yale and Young Roads and Princess Avenue in 1948. The symbol above the sign over the door was a mythological symbol representing commerce and used to be the logo of The Canadian Bank of Commerce. The branch was re-branded to CIBC on June 1, 1961, when The Commerce and the Imperial Bank of Canada merged to form the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC). As business grew, the branch needed to expand but it was con"ned within the triangular lot. A larger building, our current branch, was built down the street on Young Road and opened for business on August 17, 1981. CIBC (CM: TSX;NYSE) is a leading North American "nancial institution with nearly 11 million personal banking and business clients. CIBC offers a full range of products and services through its comprehensive electronic banking network, branches and of"ces across Canada, and has of"ces in the United States and around the world. You can "nd other news releases and information about CIBC in our Press Centre on our corporate website at www.cibc.com.

minutes left in the third period. That goal turned into the winner when Bruins winger Ryan Howse scored with just 36 seconds left—14 seconds after officials had asked half the students to head for the exits. Despite a late push, the Bruins were unable to complete the comeback. “We’re happy with the rally,” said Habscheid. “We’re not happy with the loss.” His squad hits the road on Wednesday for a five-stop road trip to Alberta. First up are the Lethbridge Hurricanes, with whom the Bruins do battle with on Friday. Habscheid said the trip comes at a good time for his team, and will hopefully remove any distractions posed by the fast-approaching Christmas holiday. “It’s a good time to go out,” he told the Times. defender, made a slick deke around Bruins netminder Lucas Gore to make the score 2-0. Eakin scored his first goal at the halfway point of the period on another odd-manned rush to give the Broncos a stranglehold on the game. The Bruins spent the rest of the morning and early afternoon trying to make amends for their early pratfalls. Jamie Crooks narrowed the lead to two at the end of the first. While Eakin potted his second in the three minutes into the middle period, goals from Dylen McKinlay—his first on the year after missing a large number of games with a knee injury—and Roman Horak drew Chilliwack to within one. But the Bruins couldn’t muster much of a push in the third and Eakin again came through for Swift Current, adding an insurance marker with five

so did the Broncos who, by the 10minute mark, held a 3-0 lead over the shell-shocked Bruins. Despite that, Chilliwack head coach Marc Habscheid wasn’t ready to use the early start as an excuse for his team. “It affects both teams; it’s the same for everybody,” he said. A day earlier he had shrugged off concerns, noting: “It’s not like you’re dealing with 50-year-olds here.” The trouble started with two early Bruin penalties within the first five minutes. On the second power play, Justin Dowling grabbed his own rebound in front of the net and backhanded the puck into a yawning cage. Down rained the boos from the students, as they would after each Bronco goal. Taylor Vause scored just 53 seconds later. Vause streaked down the right side and, with a step on the Bruins

Pies make great holiday desserts

CHEF DEZ

On Cooking The pie dough that makes up these shells can also be divided into two categories: flaky dough or mealy dough. Flaky dough is usually a pastry that has a mixture of shortening and butter that is “cut in” so that there are small chunks still left in the finished product. This aids in creating steam, which helps with the leavening process and thus creating the flaky texture. Mealy dough is one that is usually made with butter that is mixed in more thoroughly, and when baked has a texture much like tender shortbread. This is because the flour particles are more coated with fat and thus less gluten is formed. Once you have decided on the type of crust to make, it is time to decide on the filling. Basically there are four choices: fruit, custard, cream, or chiffon. All fillings require the existence of a starch or stabilizer to ensure that it holds together when

sliced. Fruit and cream fillings use starches, such as cornstarch for their stability, while custard filling use the stabilization of eggs coagulation for their firmness. Examples of custard pies are ones such as pumpkin, pecan, and key lime pies. Chiffon pies usually use a combination of starch or gelatin with whipped eggs whites folded in. Baking is a science and recipes are the formulas. For the reasons listed here and for many others, it is important to follow these recipes exactly in order to have a successful outcome. Whatever pie or other dessert you choose to finish your holiday meals with, I wish you, your families, friends, and loved ones all the best in health and happiness this upcoming holiday season. Dear Chef Dez: I have heard and known that it is best to keep pie pastry as cold possible to prevent melting the butter and shortening pieces. What is the best way of doing this? Douglas C. Langley Dear Douglas: The best way of doing this is to first focus on your ingredients. Make sure you

are using ice water instead of cold water, and frozen butter grated into the flour mixture is ideal. The frozen butter particles then are already the required size from the grater and will not suffer from the warm friction of too much mixing or “cutting” it in. Secondly, try not to touch the dough with your hands, as the warmth from them will melt the butter. It is best to form the dough by folding it over consistently with a metal dough cutter (bench scraper). Once the dough is formed, wrap and place it in the refrigerator until thoroughly chilled. Remove and proceed with rolling, ideally on a chilled marble surface. Once shaped, refrigerate for approximately 10 more minutes before baking. I have even heard that using vodka from the freezer (instead of the ice water in your recipe) will produce a flakier crust! Send your food/cooking questions to dez@chefdez.com or P.O.

he fondest memory I have from my childhood is one that I hold dear to my heart. Fitted with an over-sized apron and a smile from ear to ear, I was six years old on a stool rolling out pie pastry along side my mom. While she made the large pies for the family, I rolled out pastry for miniature imitations formed to the confines of empty, metal chip-dip containers. I was very proud and happy to be a part of the preparation for such a wonderful treat. Pies are a very traditional way to end a meal on certain holidays throughout the year, and especially at Christmas time. Pumpkin is always a favourite pie among many for the holidays, but numerous different pies can and will be made and enjoyed. Pies are basically made up of a shell or crust, with a flavourful filling, and can be divided into two groups: baked or unbaked. Baked pies are obviously ones with raw pie shells that are filled and then baked. The unbaked category represents pre-baked pie shells that are filled with a prepared filling and then chilled to set before serving.

Sports COACH, from page 22 at half-time during a B.C. Lions game, and also before a Seattle Seahawks game, at the start of which they helped unfurl a 70-yardlong American flag before 70,000 screaming football fans. Smith—a lawyer when he’s not coaching—organized movie nights for his players and tailgate parties with opposing teams. The list goes on. “This is going to be a year that will be stuck in my brain for the rest of my life,” said Jake Troyen, one of the Giants’ captains. Smith, said

Troyen—who is a 10-year-old quote machine—“has been an amazing coach and a real good friend to me this year. “We couldn’t have done it without him.” Smith was particularly focused on teaching his players how to play with sportsmanship, added Uzick,11. “ He t a u g h t u s h ow t o b e gentlemen,” he said. He reigned in the players mouths too, according to running back Gabe Mannes. “At the beginning of the year, everyone was swearing and Coach Laurie said, ‘I won’t tolerate that,’”

said Mannes. Mannes, Uzick and Troyen all point to one event in particular as a turning point for their team. Smithbegantheseasonbyhanding out awards—medals and plaques he had bought himself—to the most valuable, most sportsmanlike and hardest working players. It was meant to be an incentive and a memorable award for his charges, but it led to players emphasizing their own accomplishments over the team. After five games and a 36-0 loss to Abbotsford, Smith put away the trophies and told his players to focus

on their play as a unit. “He told us to work more as a team, and not just as individuals,” said Mannes. Suddenly the wins came. “That was the turning point right there,” said Troyen. S m i t h’s e m p h a s i s o n sportsmanship extended to his own positive nature, said his players. “He’s never yelling at us. He’s always positive,” said Uzick. Assistant coach Andy Uzick— Wyatt’s father—said encouragement and friendly atmosphere translated to the team’s success. “K i d s re s p o n d t o p o s i t i v e

feedback,” said Uzick. “I’ve seen the other side of the coin where [the coaches] are yelling and screaming at the kids and they shut down.” Smith’s favourite phrases— “That’s outrageous!” and “you have to look good to play good”—are remembered fondly by his players. They also spoke with humour of their coach’s nostalgic tales of his own provincial championship, won nearly 30 years ago when Smith was 11 years old. “Now he has a new story,” said Wyatt Uzick. “Now he can talk about the Giants.”

Being busy just Bondar’s nature

Renaissance woman now appearing on Daily Planet

She has three university degrees, recently won a short film contest, is filming an episode of Daily Planet in Chilliwack this week and now local biologist Carin Bondar has a new book. The Nature of Human Nature explores the unique position of the Homo sapiens in the animal kingdom. You might think we’re the only species to do things as unnatural as use contraception or eat junk food, but you’d be wrong. The book is a journey of survival and reproduction, from nutrition in cockroaches to parenting in baboons. Filled with quirky analogies, spunky opinions and cute cartoons, the book is an enjoyable read for teens to adults. It’s available for $15.95 plus shipping on her web-site at carinbondar. com.

She has performed in many solo and chamber recitals, orchestral concerts, and enjoys playing as a freelance musician. Her love of the violin started when she was seven, listening to concertos by Brahms, Beethoven and Tchaikovsky and dreaming of one day playing like them. Ms. van Dijk, who is a certified Suzuki teacher, loves to share the joy of the violin’s expressive sound with her students.

Cameraman Kevin Mills films Carin Bondar at Preston’s in the Coast Hotel Chilliwack on Thursday for a Daily Planet segment set to air around Valentine’s Day. Bondar said the piece is about mating and love in the animal kingdom, which isn’t always as romantic as we might like to think. time-consuming enough, Bondar recently entered the world of film. She wrote and starred in the short film “Why Did the Toad Cross the Road” about the annual toad migration in Ryder Lake, which was produced by local filmmaker Matthew Hawkins. The film took

the top award in the 2010 Discovery World HD Film Snacks Competition, at the Planet in Focus International Film Festival held in Toronto in October. In addition to her short, she is currently working on Biomusings, her on-line video series about the work

of field biologists, which can also be viewed on her website. With upcoming appearances scheduled to air on the Discovery Network, clearly she is ready for her close-up. She’ll next be discussing love and sex in the animal kingdom on Daily Planet.

Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra timpanist Paul Blessin adds musical flavour pounding the symphony’s four timpani. BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

ercussionists in an orchestra spend a lot of time waiting around for their share of the action, according to Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra timpanist Paul Blessin. While rock and jazz drummers accompany their fellow band members almost non-stop, he says a timpanist might spend 200 bars

Adding a little spice Timpanist Paul Blessin knows how to pack a punch

waiting—mallet in hand—before playing a single note. The upside is that note usually packs a punch.

“Everyone can hear them when you play them,” said Blessin of the CSO’s four shiny copper drums, “and I don’t play them that often, so

it’s something exciting when I do.” The downside is reserved for the percussionist who loses count during those 200 bars.

“You can’t fake it when you come in with timpani,” said Blessin. “You’re either playing them almost full bore, or you’re not playing them at all. If you don’t get your counting right, everyone will know.” Unlike most other drums, the timpani (or kettledrums) aren’t traditionally considered rhythm instruments. Instead, composers use them to See BLESSIN, Page 37

Showtime BLESSIN, from page 35 punctuate their work. “We’re the spice,” said Blessin. “It’s an exclamation point on what’s going on.” The same can be said of most percussion instruments in an orchestra. Although he spends most of his time in the CSO playing their $17,000 timpani set (purchased with a $15,000 donation from the Chilliwack Foundation), Blessin also shares duties with the symphony’s other two percussionists. “There is an element of being a jack of all trades with percussion,” he said. “You don’t just play one

Enlisted into the CSO by a founding father

instrument.” That’s especially true around Christmas time. During the CSO’s A Christmas You Can Handel concert this Saturday night and A Family Christmas matinee this Sunday, percussionists will be hitting, shaking, ringing and jingling a plethora of instruments besides the timpani, including a regular drum kit, tambourine, triangle, glockenspiel, snare drum, bass drum and more. Blessin himself will be taking on sleigh-bell duties. With so many instruments considered “percussion,”

percussionists sometimes don’t even know what an instrument is until it’s called for in a piece of music their conductor has picked. A few years ago, for example, one piece in the CSO’s repertoire featured a Polynesian instrument called a pu’ili stick. Blessin had to look it up on Google, and the symphony eventually built their own since the instrument was nowhere to be found at local music stores. Blessin, a Chilliwack native, took up percussion in Grade 7 at what used to be

Chilliwack junior secondary school. Although he didn’t study music at university, he did his share of weekend gigging in rock and jazz bands to earn extra cash. His move to orchestral percussion started with the CSO. His father, a bass player, was a founding member, and Blessin was enlisted as a timpanist even though he hadn’t played the instrument since high school. “It came with a lot of onthe-job training,” he said. He credits Vancouver

Opera Orchestra principal timpanist Phillip Crewe, whose wife once conducted the CSO, for showing him all the tricks of the trade. The switch from rock and jazz to orchestral music is a big one for percussionists. Along with learning the technical skills, orchestral percussionists also need to get used to only brief moments in the spotlight. “You’re not the lead vio-

lin,” said Blessin. “You’re never going to have a concerto where it’s just you with an orchestra backing you up. You’re always in the background. You have to be comfortable with that.” ◗ The CSO’s Christmas You Can Handel concert starts at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday. The Family Christmas matinee starts at 2 p.m. on Sunday. Both concerts take place at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre, and tickets are available at the box office.

Osborne puts nat. parks in focus BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

ne of Canada’s leading nature photographers, Graham Osborne of Chilliwack, will have an image featured in a new coffee table book focused on Canada’s national parks. Canada’s Environment Minister John Baird and Nicole Rycroft, executive director of Canopy, an independent nonprofit organization dedicated for forest sustainability, launched the commemorative book marking the 125th anniversary of national parks in Canada, Canada’s National Parks: A Celebration on Nov. 29. The large-format, 256-page hardcover showcases outstanding landscape photography from all 42 of Canada’s national parks. Osborne said he got involved in the project late in the game when the editors were looking for some images from west coast parks. The shot of his selected by the editors is of a starfish and other sea creatures in shallow water on Haida Gwaii. “The starfish decided to stretch off to the right,” he told the Times. “Like a ballerina taking a grand jeté.” Osborne is well-known for his largeand medium-format camera work. The image chosen was shot with a four-byfive “old Ansel Adams” camera. “This book celebrates our most trea-

sured places and brings spectacular photos of these places into Canadian homes,” said Baird in a press release. “Through this book, Canadians will discover the magnificence of Canadian national parks; others will re-live moments of awe and inspiration they experienced during their stays.” “To respect the stunning wild landscapes illustrated in Canada’s National Parks-A Celebration and to facilitate the

conservation of other rich ecosystems, this book is printed on environmentally friendly, 100 per cent post-consumer recycled paper,” said Canopy’s Rycroft. “We hope this book inspires people to work to conserve more of this magnificent land’s ecological richness for future generations—with a great national parks system as the backbone.” Canada’s National Parks: A Celebration marks the 125th anniversary of national parks in Canada and the upcoming 2011 centennial of Parks Canada as the world’s first national parks service. The colourful book captures the essence of the Canadian landscape, and brings together in one volume the work of some of the country’s most respected contemporary photographers, accompanied by locator maps and concise descriptions for each park and some memorable historic images of park visitors over the last century. Canada’s National Parks: A Celebration retails for $29.95 and is available at Indigo/Chapters/Coles, Archambault and other bookseller locations throughout Canada and can also be ordered online. The first printing of the book also includes a detachable coupon that can be redeemed for a free family day pass at any Parks Canada national park, national historic site or national marine conservation area.

FRANKS, Shirley

May 15, 1936 ~ December 4, 2010 Shirley Franks passed away peacefully at Gillis House in Merritt, BC on December 4th 2010 at the age of 74 years. Shirley is survived by her son Brad (Charlene), daughter Charlene (Dan) and grandsons Zach and Jesse. She was predeceased by her husband Rudy in 2005, parents Harry and Mary Ann Saar, and siblings Myrtle, Kelly, Cliff, Arvella, Roy, Lloyd, and Faye. Born on May 15th 1936 in Hanna, Alberta, she attended Bingo School near the family farm in Spondin. Her parents sold the farm in 1951, moving to Chilliwack and buying the Sardis Auto Court Motel. She started working at Pearson’s Grocery in Sardis and later Super-Valu. Rudy and Shirley were married in 1962 and were soon joined by Brad in 1963, and Charlene in 1965. She spent many hours with the Atchelitz Women’s Institute and Chilliwack Hospital Auxiliary, before returning to work at Zellers until retirement in 1993. Selling their beloved “Stump Ranch” on Marble Hill in 1992, they started their next project in the Kane Valley near Merritt, Clearing the land and having a new home built for their retirement where they shared many weekends entertaining friends and family. After Rudy’s passing in 2005, Shirley sold the Kane Valley property and moved into Merritt where she was diagnosed with Dementia in 2007. After a brief battle with pneumonia, she joined Rudy and her family for one more card game. The family would like to thank the nurse and staff at Gillis House for their care and attention during Shirley’s stay. A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, December 14th 2010 at 1:00 p.m. from Henderson’s Funeral Home Chapel, 45901 Victoria Avenue, Chilliwack, BC. In lieu of ﬂowers, donations would be appreciated to a charity of your choice.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Start nothing new before Dec. 30. Protect ongoing projects from mistakes and delays. Reprise projects and relationships from the past, especially in career. (A propos career, higher-ups, parents and VIPs are testy all month, so be diplomatic, eager, honest. Take criticism goodnaturedly.) This is an enjoyable, mellow week. Love might visit you in person, or merely in your thoughts. A particular kind of stress, medical condition or abrupt surprise in relationships that has dogged you for seven years occurs again Friday/Saturday – for the LAST time this lifetime! Grab success Wednesday! Taurus April 20-May 20: Life’s mysteries continue. Research will turn up nuggets, give you insights. Usually this is a good time for investments, intimate commitments, lifestyle changes and health cures/ diagnosis. However, you should avoid anything new in these. Re-diagnosis of an old condition, or grabbing an investment that passed you by formerly, anything attached to the past in this way, can be a good opportunity. But start nothing brand new before Dec. 30. Double-check all facts, figures. Avoid all legal hassles and foreign travel until mid-January. Others treat you with affection all month. Gemini May 21-June 20: Relationships predominate. New meetings, new opportunities and new horizons confront you, but everything new is flawed, if you meet it before Dec. 30. If career/ business opportunities return from the past, then they qualify as “valid” – but former (and new) relationships face pretty gigantic problems. For example, anyone you met in 2010 – and to some degree since 2003 – will always try to dominate you. Patience is best, especially since truly compatible people will appear very soon, in 2011. Be ambitious Monday. Happiness and poor luck Tuesday; happiness and good luck Wednesday!

Cancer June 21-July 22: Tackle chores, but make sure directions are clear, pieces are not missing, etc. Don’t start major tasks or projects before Dec. 30. This is a work month, and a health period, so dress for the season, eat well and get your sleep. Relationships intensify all month. Sweet romantic feelings and ambition/lust mingle. An ex might appear. (This is short, perhaps gone by next week). Overall, this week’s smooth. The only possible major problem might appear Saturday – drive carefully, protect sensitive equipment (e.g., computers) be safe around electricity. Gentle, wise love Sunday/Monday. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Many ideas/impulses might come to start anew Sunday/Monday, especially in intimate, sexual, financial, investment, relationship and lifestyle areas. Let these stew until late December – they are deep, valid new directions, but they need subconscious gestation. Meanwhile, avoid starting anything new (even forming plans) before Dec. 30.Tuesday’s barriers might show you why. Your romantic mood continues – and it might get a gratifying answer Wednesday! Show bosses how reliable and energetic you can be Thursday to Saturday. That last night, happiness, social delights float toward you! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: A period of delay, indecision, mistakes and missThe emphasis continues on home, property, security, kids, gardening, soul, stomach, nutrition. This is your usual hibernation period, and since new starts are ill-advised before Dec. 30, this would be a great time to get sluggish and slow. You’ll be tempted to end some associations now, but you might regret it later, so wait until after Dec. 29. Communications are affectionate and gracious, travel brings beauty and peace, despite any glitches. Your romantic side simmers, surfacing as excitement Sunday/Monday, meeting obstacles Tuesday, finding gentle wisdom Thursday/Friday.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Start nothing new before Dec. 30. Stick with the ongoing, or reprise the past. Paradoxically, many new little projects or tasks seem to begin during a work-oriented Sunday/ Monday. Well, keep it small (doing dishes OK; buying a new dishwasher not). Fuse old things into the new, especially at home. Relationships strain your goodwill Tuesday, but reward you nicely Wednesday. Mysteries, temptations, finances, gossip draw you Thursday to Saturday: there’s success in these, but it might all end with a sudden split, tension or event. Hmm. Travel all week. Satisfy your curiosity! Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Stick with ongoing projects and relationships – reject the new before Dec. 30. This is a splendid time to remember old friends, family – buy cards for those you haven’t in the past, buy little mementoes, etc. (Xmas shopping is OK, because it’s a repetition for most of us; but avoid big items. Purchase those after Dec. 30.) We all fall in love eventually: your big event is likely 2011 onward, but it might be now. Sunday/Monday tease your romantic side. Still, don’t confuse sensuality with affection. Work, mid-week. Exciting meetings, Thursday onward. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: All 2010 features endings and new beginnings. These hit two peaks: last March, and this Sunday/Monday. But how does that fit in with a period (Dec. 10 to 29) in which you should not be starting anything? Further, at least five “starts” are indicated now. The present “start nothing” period is naturally nostalgic, so it might be bringing things from the past, lingering tendrils, frayed ends, and asking you to fuse them together into a new beginning – or to restart something old. This might occur on a sub-conscious or conscious level. Love meets obstacles Tuesday, green lights Wednesday!

Dec. 12 - Dec. 18 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Start nothing new before Dec. 30.You might hear from old acquaintances Sunday/Monday, or get the urge to write/call them. Do so, results will be fine. Follow your curiosity these two days. Explore unfamiliar neighbourhoods, figuratively perhaps. Life stops you short Tuesday – it wants you to rest. That’s better than losing your temper. Secrets, security quests succeed Wednesday. Though it’s a week of rest, privacy and contemplation, romantic desires/moods steal over you Thursday to Saturday. Romance’s sister, Creativity, might be a better date. Practise safety late week. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Your mood remains upbeat,yourpopularity’sstrong,hopesbuoyyoursteps, and life offers parties, entertainment, light flirtation. But don’t start any major projects or relationships before Dec. 30. A money situation or puzzle – perhaps with roots in last March – begins to gel, and a subtle but significant new path, new direction, begins to form. Odd that it takes place in a “backward-biased” period, but this seems more oriented toward healing the old than forming the new. Focus on this Sunday/ Monday. Mid-week’s active: have a list. Steer toward home, family Thursday onward. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Your energy and charisma surge upward Sunday/Monday. Trends are hitting “deep notes” or significant turning points, in career, worldly status, relations with governments or large companies, institutions, and in social life. Take a minute to contemplate your life, your path. In general, you should not start anything new, especially in relationships, before Dec. 30. But life might be starting some things for you; and if you can’t trust life, what can you trust? Go with the flow. Money has problems Tuesday, successes Wednesday. Be curious but safe Thursday onward. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
