Earthquake in Japan hits home

hilliwack resident Asai WuBrandt was on the fifth floor of a building in Tokyo when a 9.0-magnitude earthquake struck about 300 kilometres away off the coast of Japan on March 11.

Wu-Brandt said she’s used to earthquakes in Tokyo where she has owned an English school for young

But nothing like this one.

“Usually earthquakes are only a few seconds but this time it was so long,” Wu-Brandt told the Times from Japan in a phone interview on Wednesday. “It was about three minutes so we could not stand.”

The earthquake was so unusual that the two- to six-year-old children in the classrooms were rolling around on the floor laughing because they thought it was fun.

“They were laughing until I said ‘this is not a joke anymore,’” she said.

Luckily, her young charges practise

“We were watching the building shake,” she said. “It was unbelievable. Then we were really scared.”

Since then, the aftershocks have

been so frequent that Wu-Brandt said she and her teachers all feel dizzy or even seasick.

But now, the fear is for a meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear plant. Her husband Howard Brandt in Chilliwack just wants her to come home.

“I’ve been trying to get her to come back,” Brandt told the Times.

hinking of donating to earthquake relief in Japan? What about getting a body piercing?

Why not both at the same time?

Next month Supreme Tattoos in Chilliwack hosts an all-day piercing fundraiser for Japan earthquake relief.

“I seen it on the news what happened there, and I couldn’t believe it,” said Supreme Tattoos owner Frank Holzapfel of the 9.0-magnitude quake that devastated Japan last week. “I thought I’d try and do something.”

So on April 17, Holzapfel is throwing open his studio doors and piercing all comers for a minimum $10 donation.

“Show up, pick your piercing and I’ll take care of the rest,” he said.

customers about $55 a pop, will all be supplied free of charge, and all proceeds will go to the Canadian Red Cross for its work in Japan.

Those looking for extreme piercings, however, will have to come another day.

“We’ll keep it to the basics—navel, lip, eyebrow, nostril, maybe nipple; that’s about it,” said Holzapfel.

It’s a “smokin deal” for everyone, he said, and he hopes for a big turnout.

“I probably would donate one or two or three hundred bucks anyway,” he said, “but I thought if I put that towards equipment and supplies and stuff, I can triple that or quadruple that.”

For those not looking to get pierced themselves, Holzapfel suggests making a donation for a friend’s piercing or just dropping by and throwing a loonie in the jar to help Japan’s earthquake survivors rebuild.

The pierce-a-thon will kick off at 9 a.m. and run into the evening hours on a first come, first served basis. ◗ Supreme Tattoos is located in downtown Chilliwack at 46257 Yale Rd. For more information about the piercing fundraiser, call 604-7030322.

Dim hope extinguished

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

espite the pieces of the puzzle that kept coming together, Ernie Crey of Chilliwack always held out hope that the final picture would not show his sister’s life ended at serial killer Robert Pickton’s Port Coquitlam pig farm.

But the death certificate he received for Dawn Crey last week ended that dim hope.

“Somewhere in the back of my mind I was thinking maybe she could be alive,” Crey told the Times this week. “But when the death certificate arrived I realized this was it. She very likely died on the Pickton property.”

Dawn was last seen in November of 2000. In 2004, Crey was told his sister’s DNA was found on an undergarment in the living room of Pickton’s trailer on the farm.

“What they told me then is ‘we are convinced that your sister’s life came to an end on the Pickton’s property,’” he said.

But even though the DNA was found, he thought there could be a chance she was still alive. Or at least that she died somewhere else.

he owner of a Promontory home where hydro was diverted and 50 pounds of dried marijuana was found in October has had the house seized by the provincial Civil Forfeiture Office.

The City of Chilliwack is also seeking to levy a precedent-setting $40,000 fine on the owner of the Tournier Place property where growops have twice been found.

Kitty Cheang is charged with four building and health/safety bylaw offences in connection with the case.

The city is seeking the maximum $10,000 fine for each offence, something it has never done before.

A search warrant at the property on Oct. 29, 2010 revealed a hydro diversion and 50 pounds of dried marijuana bud in the residence.

There were no signs of occupation in the home.

On March 11, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General told the Times that the civil forfeiture case related to the property had concluded.

“The property has been forfeited and the Province is in the process of marketing it for sale,” the spokesperson said, adding, “The province sought forfeiture on the basis that the property was an instrument of unlawful activity.”

Senior city staff said the civil forfeiture does not affect the city’s move to impose fines.

The Tournier Place home has sat empty since Oct. 29 when a city inspector posted a notice forbidding entry to the home.

The first time a grow-op was found in the home was in December 2008.

The city fined Cheang $3,120 and ordered her to clean up the property, which she did.

The $10,000 fine has never been issue by the city, and last year city staff said this was because of the extensive and uncertain court process required.

The matter between Cheang and the city was first in court on Tuesday but was adjourned for two weeks.

No criminal charges have been laid in connection with the marijuana found in the home, according to Chilliwack RCMP.

Ernie Charlton adds his name to nomination list

huck Strahl’s son Mark may have the inside lane, but at least now there will be a race for the Conservative Party nomination for Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon.

Longtime Strahl supporter Ernie Charlton has thrown his hat in the ring to replace Chuck Strahl, who announced on Saturday he would not run in the next federal election.

The decision to run had to be made quickly as Charlton and his wife Tamiko— who has also been heavily involved in the party—found out about the nomination process on Monday.

Chuck Strahl’s 32-year-old son Mark announced Monday that he would seek the nomination.

With a deadline of 5 p.m. eastern time on Friday to have nomination papers in Ottawa along with 25 signatures of support from active members, a bank account opened and a criminal record check done, Charlton had to act quickly.

“As far as the nomination process, I read about it in the paper and was like ‘wow’ this is going to be fast,” he told theTimes.

Charlton said by Wednesday afternoon he had 23 signatures but wanted to get 30 to be sure. He figured he would get enough in time, but suggested the rushed process implemented by the national headquarters of the Conservative Party eliminated some possible candidates.

“I don’t think this is the way anyone would choose to run an nomination process,” he said. “It eliminates much of what the process is designed for but in certain circumstances MORNEAU, from page 1 text message. “He has expressed interest in being ivolved in hockey in Chilliwack with Jim Bond and our family. We would be honoured to have Justin partner with us. He is a remarkable young man and athlete.”

Morneau grew up in New Westminster and his father, George, is involved in the Valley Sports Zone, out of which he will be holding baseball clinics.

Charlton, 42, is a pilot for a B.C. manufacturing company and has participated in both volunteer and leadership roles in a variety of community and non-profit organizations, according to a press release issued Wednesday.

Charlton and his wife have been involved with the party for 15 years and volunteered for many of Strahl’s election campaigns. He also served as a director of the electoral district association. ◗ The nomination meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. on March 21 at the Coast Hotel, according to a British Columbia representative for the National Council of the Conservative Party of Canada.

Big hockey fan chase the Bruins. Bond owns a construction company.

But with Morneau midway through a sixyear $80-million contract, the slugger’s involvement can only increase the group’s financial clout.

Morneau’s interest in hockey is not new.

While he’s made a name bashing baseballs out of major league parks, Morneau was also a promising goaltender during his youth. In fact, he wears the number 33 in honour of former Montreal Canadiens legend Patrick Roy.

Brandt said he lived in Japan for 11 years. That is where he met Asai and the two moved to Chilliwack about 15 years ago.

He said that his wife’s sense of responsibility is partly what is keeping her in Tokyo, despite the threat.

“She has got a business and if she flees, the people who rely on her to take care of their kids, they will view her badly,” he said.

The cultural stoicism of the Japanese and the emphasis on loyalty make it difficult for her to leave, even in such a circumstance.

“I do worry about myself,” Wu-Brandt said. “But I own the school. I’m the head. I can’t escape so I have to be responsible for my staff and the parents and the students.

So I can’t escape.”

But Chilliwack residents aren’t the only ones asking MacDonald for emergency advice.

MacDonald has also been exchanging e-mails with his daughter, Daniella, who lives and teaches science to the children of Canadian expatriates in a suburb outside of Tokyo.

After 18 hours of silence following the massive 9.0magnitude quake last Friday, MacDonald heard from his daughter on Saturday. And while Daniella was brought up with safety-first father who sent her off to university with an emergencypreparedness kit under one arm, even she has questions about how to prepare for a

possible evacuation.

A checklist of items needed for any emergency graband-go kit can be found at city hall. The list features common-sense items like water, a multi-purpose knife, a flashlight and batteries.

Most people will have most of the items on the list. The important thing, though, is to collect all the supplies in one location that can quickly be taken in case of emergency.

But assembling a proper emergency kit isn’t the only way to prepare for disaster, MacDonald said.

First, residents should know both the natural and m a n m a d e h a z a rd s t h a t exist in their communities.

In Chilliwack, that means floods, landslides, major storms, snow events, hazardous material spills and, yes, earthquakes.

and BUILDERS Homeowners have a new tool at their fingertips to help them better understand how warranty providers evaluate claims for possible design, labour or material defects in new homes.

The Residential Construction Performance Guide is the newest online resource available on the Homeowner Protection Office website at www.hpo.bc.ca.

It explains how homes covered by home warranty insurance should perform.

Every new home built for sale by a licensed residential builder in B.C. is protected by mandatory third-party home warranty insurance. It’s the strongest system of construction defect insurance in Canada.

“For most consumers, buying a new home is one of the largest financial investments they will make. So it’s essential that homebuyers can make that investment with confidence, knowing that they will not be faced with additional expenses to repair defects after they move in,” said Tony Gioventu, executive director of the Condominium Home Owners’ Association and an advocate for consumer protection.

This simple, practical guide is easy to use. It outlines more than 200 possible defects that are searchable online.

This includes the most common defect claims that might be submitted under a home warranty insurance policy – from windows that malfunction, to driveway or interior concrete floors that have cracked, to siding that has buckled.

Designed primarily for conventional low-rise, woodframe homes, the guide also provides some helpful guidelines for the common property of multi-unit buildings. Builders can also use the guide to help ensure that they deliver high performance homes.

espite snowpacks 20 per cent above normal, the spring freshet on the Fraser River is not anticipated to reach flood levels in Chilliwack.

Each year, the City of Chilliwack monitors environmental conditions in advance of the freshet including the data from the provincial government’s River Forecast Centre.

Data from the March 1 snow survey has now been updated and while the Lower Fraser is at 120 per cent of normal, much of the water volume comes from the Upper Fraser, Nechako and Thompson watersheds, all of which are near normal.

“We are always concerned about the risk of flooding in Chilliwack,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz in a press release issued by the

city Tuesday.

“City officials are constantly monitoring the indicators and believe that the conditions do not pose a significant risk for flooding during the 2011 Fraser River spring freshet.”

Currently, about 80 per cent of the annual peak snowpack has accumulated and levels are normal throughout most of the rest of the province.

The River Forecast Centre publishes the Snow Survey and Water Supply Bulletin eight times a year between January 1 and June 15 survey periods. ◗ More information about the Fraser River freshet can be found at the city’s website at www.chilliwack.com/freshet.

Shrinking us down to size

S

o the other day I’m on Google (or “the Googles” as my soon to be stepfather calls it) looking for some tangential connection between Chilliwack and the drama unfolding in Japan.

Naturally, I plug “Japan” and “Chilliwack” into the machine and ask it to do its thing.

Somewhere down the dozens of results that pop up is a link to an online conspiracy theorist site, www.abovetopsecret.com.

On one of the site’s multiple forums, frightened people in the Pacific Northwest, including British Columbia and Chilliwack (hence the Google result), contemplate heading east to escape the possible nuclear cloud headed our way.

Here’s one post: “I live in [Arizona] and am taking this very seriously because I do not trust what we are and will be told think of it like this can anyone explain all these disasters and major ones so close together?? yet the govt. has no explanations whatsoever!!!! I tried calling red cross today, pharmacies, walmart, they acted like I was an alien . . . This to me has some very bad overtones and agenda maybe?? Anyways any other thoughts I believe we are being placed” While it’s (oh, so) easy to mock the person who posted the above,

TYLER OLSEN

Win,Lose orTy I’m going to try (ever so hard) to refrain from doing so. After all, conspiracy theorists in Arizona aren’t the only ones panicking. One pharmacist in British Columbia told the Vancouver Sun that she had sold all 20 of her pharmacy’s bottles of medical iodine to fearful locals. This despite assurances by numerous provincial medical officials that we are not at risk of any nuclear fallout, should it occur. They said that such money would be better spent buying their own emergency kit for the future.

While there will always be, and have always been, conspiracy theorists who link events and believe they are in harm’s way, I think that at least some of the local panic reflects how small the world seems to have become.

We forget that the Pacific Ocean is absolutely massive.

London is 83 kilometres closer to Chilliwack than Tokyo but in today’s interconnected world, in which you can travel halfway around the world in half a day,

it’s easy to lose a proper sense of scale.

That distance is important because even concentrated radioactive gases released in Japan blown straight at British Columbia will be dramatically diluted as it travels over the Pacific.

For a crude sense of how that works, take a rotten egg outside, aim a fan at it, and try to blow the stench to the house half a block down the street. I don’t think your neighbours will mind.

We forget just how big everything out there is—which is just one reason that the Japanese earthquake has been so traumatizing. Japan is a first-world country with first-world infrastructure, first-world emergency response teams and people with first-world problems.

Last week they were concerned about sports, stuff on the Internet and boasted a slumping economy that still allowed them to live lives that 19th century monarchs could only have dreamed of. In other words, just like us.

Today they’re mourning the dead, scared for the future and trying to find the basic necessities of life.

If technology tends to shrink the world, Mother Nature has a devastating knack for shrinking us down to size.

ust as the flowers burst from the ground at the first sign of spring in Victoria, so too have the new shoots of a provincial cabinet come into view.

It’s a time for political renewal, with Premier Christy Clark taking the oath of office, and then appointing a team of 17 caucus members.

The most notable thing about this cabinet is its simplicity. Responsibility for health is not scattered across two, or three, or four ministries. Instead there is Michael de Jong, minister for health, full stop.

Likewise, Blair Lekstrom takes Transportation and Infrastructure; Agriculture goes to Don McRae, and Kevin Falcon holds posts as minister of finance and as premier’s deputy.

With George Abbott in Education, that puts all of Clark’s rivals for the party leadership in senior positions.

So far, Clark has shown a desire for simplicity, and no inclination to seek revenge for the events of the campaign. Those are both laudable.

Locally, we see that Barry Penner stays in cabinet with his posting as AttorneyGeneral and John Les gets the nod as parliamentary secretary to the premier along with being named to sit on the treasury board and the new government’s policies and priorities committee.

As cabinets go, it’s not bad. But the true test always comes in the first crisis.

Hopefully, it will be a gentle one, so that the cabinet is tested, but not tested to destruction. That would not serve anyone in B.C., Liberal, NDP or other, very well.

We also can’t forget about the hospital visits to our fans and appearances at birthday parties. Minor hockey even changed their name from Coyotes to Bruins!

My point is we are in the community and we are in the community in a very positive way. Even now, there are very few places I can go where I don’t have to talk hockey with someone. I hear it all the time how great it is that the team is visible out in the community. If we had a negative impact on the community as Mr. Keith seems to be implying, we would not have a mountain of requests from charities asking for our support nor would we have been able to participate in any of the interactions I mentioned above.

At any rate these are just my thoughts and you can take them for what they are worth, I also know the team isn’t perfect. As someone who was with the team before there was even a team formed, I am offended at the implication that the work myself and my coworkers have done in the community has been negatively received.

Whatever happens with the team will happen but I want you to know that the team has done a lot of good in the community and has indirectly touched many of Chilliwack’s residents despite what Mr. Keith seems to think.

Andrea Laycock former office manager - Chilliwack Bruins

We earned our gov’t pension Editor: I too get rather tired of listening to the veterans complaining about some things, but as a former employee of the federal government I feel that we have a right to complain about having our superannuation reduced when we turn 65.

We all paid into this for the years we were employed or served in the Armed Forces and it isn’t fair that it is then reduced.

Other people who pay into private pension plans are allowed to keep all of it plus collect OAP and CPP. Is it fair that after paying into it they get to take some of our money back? It isn’t a gift from the government, we paid into it!

I have heard rumours and I don’t know if they are true that government employees retiring now don’t have that happen, so why are the employees who have already retired having their pensions reduced still?

Just another voice, thanks for listening.

Marlene Taylor Chilliwack

Need to better research issue Editor: In a letter to the editor on March 15, the gentleman from Yarrow wrote “the military should quit complaining.” He starts with, “Is anyone besides me getting really tired of hearing the whining about how poorly our ex-armed forces personnel are being treated?”

The simple answer is that

Most people in this area have never heard of us.

Have you?

the question and the content of Mr. Brewer’s letter does not appear, to me at least, to reflect any knowledge of the reason retired military personnel and RCMP (please note) have for being unhappy with the federal government clawback from their pensions.

There is not enough space allocated to me in this reply to cover the clawback issue but the latter, when understood, may help non-military/RCMP personnel to better understand the impact such current and inequitable practice is having on retired military and their families.

I would encourage anyone reading this to research Bill C-201 which is a private members bill to abolish the claw back legislation. The history and current information on Bill C-201 is on the Internet.

Strahl jr. won’t fool veterans Editor: Chuck Strahl’s son, Mark Strahl, wants to replace his father as Chilliwack Conservative party representive in the next election.

The veterans of Chilliwack are not going to let Chuck Strahl get off that easy. If Chuck Strahl thinks his never-seen-a-hungryday-in-his life son is going to waltz in and take over his veteran unfriendly and lame duck political career, both Mark and Chuck Strahl are in for a big disappointment.

When the next election happens, the veterans are prepared to vote.

Editor: I had the opportunity to read the article on the Chilliwack Times website where Mr. Keith states he’s willing to buy the team and keep it here in Chilliwack.

While personally and selfishly I want the team to stay here I’m not writing you to tell you my thoughts on this ordeal but to let you know that I take offence to the following quote from Mr. Keith: “...And I think we need some different direction in regard to our team and our involvement in the community. I don’t think there’s any doubt about that.”

As Chair of Chilliwack FC, our association and its teams—my own personal teams included—have benefited financially from having the Bruins here by allowing us to do the 50/50 at the games. Without those 50/50s many kids would not have been able to go on trips to Europe and the U.S. for soccer academy exchanges and to attend pro team youth camps. The proceeds of the 50/50 have also fully funded teams and their travel to tournaments. For Chilliwack FC, the 50/50’s and ticket fundraisers have also made things easier on us as an association as well as have helped us offset the costs of sponsoring children who cannot afford to play as well.

As a cancer survivor (and I do hate that word and can’t believe I just used it to describe myself), I know I have benefited indirectly from the Pink In The Rink Nights as the monies raised have gone towards finding not only a cure for cancer but also to find ways of to help treat it. I have been fortunate enough to benefit from the latest treatment procedures. Procedures that may not have been available to people like myself if it wasn’t for the Canadian Cancer Society and BC Cancer Foundation and their fundraising efforts.

The list of community involvement with both players and staff is quite extensive as well. The Bruins Pediatric Centre at CGH, Books with the Bruins twice a week, post-game skates on Sundays, player appearances at local stores, speaking engagements at service

I

t is really incredible being a parent at this point in history.

I have a four-year-old and a two-year-old. As you can imagine, they often ask questions about life and the world we live in. It is amazing to be able to pull out my laptop when they ask a question (such as, “How does a dolphin swim daddy?”) and show them a Youtube video within a minute or two. Information is always at our fingertips.

What I also find incredible is that our world seems to be just as messed up as it has always been.

That in itself is a bit astonishing to me. We have all the information we could want, yet that hasn’t helped make for a better society. For example, one of the topics being

Information overload

bantered about by politicians is ensuring that personal debt does not become too large. I heard at one point people in North America were spending roughly 148 per cent of their income. So I Googled “Saving Money,” which brought up 134 million results in a ghastly 0.13 seconds. Apparently the issue with staying out of debt is not a lack of information, or the speed with which we can access it. Does anyone else see a disconnect there?

We have essentially unlimited information to help us save (which would seem better than spending 148 per cent of our incomes), yet we still spend 148 per cent of our income on, well, in many cases

frivolous junk (that isn’t directed to you, as I’m sure you make good decisions with your money; it is really a comment for all of the other readers).

I’m running the risk of starting a rant on consumerism, though, so I’ll pull the reins in a bit here.

I remember taking a philosophy class one time, and one of my classmates in a discussion said something like, “In a world where there is so much information the real question of the day is, ‘What is wise and what works?’” (This was actually a friend of mine named Derek Selinger who has become an internationally recognized magician (derekselinger.com or Youtube

his name). So although we live in the “Information Age,” maybe the pursuit should be for wisdom?

OK, that all sounds great, but what does it mean? Last time I wrote, I talked about goal setting. I think that wisdom walks hand-inhand with goals. In some situations a great question is, “Does this decision take me closer to or farther away from my goals?” In others it might be, “Is this working for me?”

Are your actions bringing more peace to your family or friendships?

Making you a better employee or boss, spouse or parent? Helping you spend less and save more?

Another thought is to boost your understanding of what wisdom is.

One way I have tried to do that is by reading a book called Proverbs a few times. It is a book of the Bible, but you can get it online for free (try www.Biblegateway.com, type in Proverbs in the search area and then click on “The Book of Proverbs.” As this is a translation of Hebrew, there are different versions available on that site that use words you may find easier or harder to understand).

77 saves a new Bruins and WHL record for Lucas Gore

Gore sets saves record

Rockers soccer Bruins goalie seeks players faces amazing

The Chilliwack Rockers’ over-30 recreational sevena-side soccer league for women is accepting new players.

The league is expanding from eight to 12 teams, and while most of the spots are filled already, there are a few left. Games go Tuesday and Thursday at Sardis Secondary fields from April 12 to mid-June, at either 6 or 7:15 pm. The popular Rockers’ Soccer league grew out of the desire of a bunch of women to get on, or back on, the field after too many years watching their kids on the sidelines.

Spots are going fast. Contact Tara Field at rockerssoccer@hotmail.ca for more information.

puck barrage in Spokane

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

L

ucas Gore allowed just one goal on a mind-boggling 78 shots before the Chilliwack Bruins fell 2-1 in a shootout to the Spokane Chiefs Wednesday.

While the Chiefs scored twice on two shots to claim the bonus point, Gore’s performance stole the show and possibly an entry into the Western Hockey League record book.

The 77 saves are a Bruins team record and caused WHL officials to examine its record book for the league mark. They found . . . nothing, so Gore’s 77 saves will be entered into next year’s book as the newWHL record.

Spokane Chilliwack

(Shootout)

2 1

Gore set a new team mark last December by making 54 saves, a number that seems almost quaint now. That figure was topped in February by Braden Gamble before Gore reclaimed top spot by making 64 saves against Seattle a month ago.

To put into perspective just how much rubber Gore faced, consider the following: ◗ The league record for most shots on goal is 85 held by the Brandon Wheat Kings. Brandon set the record 25 years ago against the Regina Pats. Brandon scored 14 goals in that game. ◗ Seventy-seven pucks weigh just under 29 pounds; ◗ Spokane netminder James Reid made 22 saves during 65 minutes of play and two more in the shootout.

Gore faced more saves in the second period alone, when he turned away 32 shots. Then he made 29 more stops in the third.

Submitted photo

Bruin goalie Lucas Gore has his name in the WHL record book thanks to an amazing 77 save performance.

It’s not like Gore was facing a peewee team. The Chiefs are battling the Portland Winterhawks for first place in the Western Conference and boast 10 different players with at least 15 goals on the season, including Tyler Johnson, who has 51 goals.

The 78 shots was also a team record for the Chiefs, a 25-year-old franchise that has won two Memorial Cups.

But while Gore saw plenty of rubber, all those pucks didn’t necessarily translate to good scoring chances.

“It wasn’t really too bad, I didn’t think,” Gore told the Spokane Spokesman following the game.

“Whenever they got the puck, they were firing it at the net but we limited their chances. My D-men did a great job blocking.”

Chilliwack scored first Wednesday, on a Ryan Howse goal with just three seconds remaining in the second period. Howse’s goal tied him with Spokane’s Johnson for the league’s goal-scoring lead.

Matt Marantz’s tying goal at the 8:52 mark of the third period came on Spokane’s 60th shot of the night.

By taking the Chiefs to overtime, then a shootout, the Bruins extended their unbeaten-in-regulation streak to 10 games. They also seized control of fifth place in the Western Conference as the Vancouver Giants lost 5-3 to the Winterhawks.

Grizzlies bow out early

disappointing opening game loss put an early end to G.W. Graham’s provincial championship hopes at the AA Boys Basketball Championships in Kamloops last weekend.

The G.W. Graham Grizzlies entered the tournament as the No. 1 seed, but fell 72-46 to St. Thomas More in their first game, despite a 19-point outing from Josiah Cockrill.

the wrong side of the bracket and ruled out any championship hopes. Nevertheless, the Grizzlies responded the next game by squeaking out a 71-68 victory over the Prince Rupert Rainmakers. Grizzlies captain Lucas Mannes poured in 36 points, while teammate Geoff Slovick added 13 more.

The Grizzlies followed that win by staging a comeback 73-65 win over the Hugh Boyd Trojans. The Grizzlies trailed at the half but balanced scoring from Cockrill, Mannes, Slovick and Fran Armengual led Graham to victory.

With a sixth-place finish on the line in the final game, the Grizzlies fell 69-66 to Surrey Southridge. Mannes scored 29 points in the loss.

Marshall rink off to good start

hilliwack’s Doug Marshall is in first place after two days of play at the British Columbia Mixed Curling Championships in Prince Rupert.

Marshall is 3-1 through four games after beating Wes Craig’s Duncan rink Wednesday evening. Marshall’s rink is rounded out by third Lisa Deputan, second Darren Jarvis and lead Janet Klebe.

The event continues throughout the weekend.

The Chilliwack secondary rink of Emma Graham, Kirsten Zucchet and Cailin Cooke

finished fourth out of eight teams at the British Columbia Girl’s Secondary School Curling Championship last weekend in Richmond.

The girls finished with four wins and three losses, punctuated by a tight 7-6 win over Fort Nelson that saw Chilliwack steal a point in an extra end for the victory.

Earlier this month Ali Renwick’s Chilliwack rink dropped all three of its games at the Juvenile Women’s Curling Championships in Lake Cowichan. Renwick was joined by third Casey Freeman, second Kirsten Zucchet, and lead Karissa Ford.

Stopping STOP signs A recent National Post front-page story on initiatives in various municipalities across Canada to remove ‘excessive’ STOP signs brought to mind the photographed urbanscapes

by Robin Collyer in which all the ‘text of commerce’ has been digitally removed.

Collyer’s images radiate calmness and serenity, and the blank coloured sign Cedric Hughes shapes are dazzling in their overlapping interplay. But aesthetic concerns are not driving the STOP sign removal initiatives and if they proceed, it is doubtful that calmness and serenity, at least in the short term will be the result.

Charlottetown, PEI, the first mentioned city, is planning to remove 16 STOP signs that do not regulate volumes of traffic meeting national guidelines. Similar initiatives in Winnipeg, MB, Nelson, BC, and Cranston, Rhode Island are also aimed at removing excessive and, in Cranston’s case, not officially approved signs.

EVERETT VS SILVERTIPS SATURDAY, MARCH 19TH 7:00PM

The nub of the problem that these initiatives are attempting to address is the danger created by too many drivers ignoring the (allegedly) too many unnecessary STOP signs. On the other hand, environmentalists in Uxbridge, ON, for example, have supported STOP sign removal on the grounds that “stopping 20 times uses up a litre of gas.” In short, the ‘signs-aren’t-working-and-so-they-aredangerous’ proponents and the “signs-areworking-and-it’s-polluting” proponents are seeking the same end.

According to US federal guidelines, the purpose of a STOP sign is to provide safe and orderly operation of an intersection that is not possible otherwise. Traffic volumes, the nature of the intersection—whether a conjunction of main and minor roads, for example, and its crash history are the main factors considered in determining whether a STOP sign is justified.

argument.

Explanations of STOP sign functioning take pains to point out that STOP signs are ineffective speed controllers, citing studies showing that “the speed of vehicles in the immediate area of the STOP sign is reduced, but the speed between intersections increases as a result of motorists making up for lost time.” These explanations also reinforce the ‘signs-aren’t-workingand-so-they-are-dangerous’

STOP sign scofflaw-ism appears to be on the rise. In a May 2010 essay in Slate magazine, Tom Vanderbilt explored the possible reasons: it is a “minor indicator, among many, of a larger societal shift: a decline of civility and reciprocity, a lesser willingness to follow social rules… [in a] society marked by increased self-regard (and hence less regard for others), …[with] neither the inclination nor the situational awareness required to accommodate others, whether by signaling one’s intentions, stopping for pedestrians in a crosswalk, or heeding the familiar red octagon.”

However effective it may be in the long run, removing stop signs is a tricky business.

Replacing a long-existing STOP sign with a roundabout is perhaps the safest option.

Drivers have to pay extra attention to execute their trip around the circle. Replacing it with other signs—YIELD or TAKE TURNS—may provide sufficient notice to enable habituated drivers to make the adjustment.

Removing a STOP sign altogether becomes a test of Hans Monderman’s theory that traffic efficiency and safety is improved by encouraging each person to negotiate their movement directly with others.

Create an affordable and attractive garden shed H

ome gardeners and lawn enthusiasts generally accumulate a number of tools of the trade in order to successfully manage their gardening needs. As a result, many homeowners build a garden shed to store all their tools and lawn care accessories.

A garden shed presents an ideal way to store all of the tools and appliances needed for the weekend hobby. Plus, it enables homeowners to clear out clutter from the garage or basement.

A locked garden shed can be a safe place in which to store sharp tools, fuel and some chemical products.

Just because the shed will have utility doesn’t mean it has to be an eyesore on the property. There are ways to create or purchase garden sheds that are aesthetically appealing and will blend in with the landscape or the main house.

Do-it-yourselfers who have decided to build a garden shed and want to do so affordably can shop around for lower-priced material. It may be a good idea to purchase a framing kit from a home-improvement store or online retailer and then shop around for exterior materials. Individuals can also find used sheds from auction sites or newspaper classifieds and simply retrofit these strucMetro

This decorative garden shed can be the ideal place to store garden tools and equipment. Or it can be used as a child’s backyard hideaway.

tures to meet individual needs.

Although sheds will be exposed to the elements, because they are not liveable structures they don’t require the same level of construction as a home or addition, like a garage. This means that a homeowner is able to save some money with materials.

Pressboard may be durable enough and less expensive than plywood. There’s little need for insulation or expensive windows. In fact, unless it is for a decorative standpoint, windows are unnecessary altogether.

It is likely that people who have had recent upgrades made on their homes may have leftover materials that can be put to use on a garden shed. Roofing shingles, extra aluminum siding and wood trim can be used on the shed. Even leftover latex paints and stains can be use on the shed.

Homeowners should visit a retailer of prefabricated sheds to see how they are made.

This can provide insight as to the size and structure and the type of construction that will be needed.

If budget is not a concern, homeowners may want to purchase pre-made sheds that can be customized to mimic the architecture and color of the person’s home. Stained glass and cottage features can make a shed seem like an intimate retreat nestled in the yard.

In addition to being a fine place to store garden tools, a shed can also be constructed to serve as a child’s play space. A miniature home in the yard can be a fun play zone for kids and be the centrepiece for hours of imaginative outdoor fun.

Tips on dog-proofing your hardwood floors P et parents may resign themselves to the fact that hardwood floors aren’t practical. But that doesn’t have to be the case. It’s possible to have and maintain hardwood floors and still enable pooches to enjoy rooms with wood floors. ◗ Keep dogs’ nails trimmed short so that they do not scratch or scuff wood floors. ◗ Dogs that tend to grow long fur between the pads of

their feet may need to have that fur trimmed as short as possible. This will help improve the traction the dog will have when walking on the wood floors.

◗ Place runners in high-traffic areas so that the dogs have an easier time of walking from room to room. ◗ Clean the bottom of paws when the dog comes inside from the yard so that dirt won’t mar or ruin the floors.

watching the pooch slide around and try to get footing.

◗ If dog bowls are kept on the floor, use a mat that will protect against spills, drips and slobber. Something that will not allow moisture to bleed through onto the floor is ideal, as is a mat that will contain spills.

◗ Consider a floor wax product to improve a dog’s traction on the floors and reduce their propensity to claw-in to get a good grip.

◗ Ask to have a thick layer of clear-coating applied to the floors to further protect them.

◗ Choose distressed-looking floors, so if scratches resulting from dogs’ nails do occur, it will blend in with the flooring and not stick out like a sore thumb.

◗ Do not encourage doggie horseplay on the wood floors, even if it is humorous

Improve water pressure

F

Shower enjoyment can be impeded if water pressure isn’t up to par.

Metro

Individuals who live in rural areas or at the end of city water systems may want to consider the addition of a water pressure tank that will provide extra water supply in highdemand situations. While it won’t improve water pressure, it will alleviate water volume problems when in need. A booster pump installed on a system will actually increase water pressure by several pounds. Homeowners may have to contend with fluctuating water pressure, but it may be a small price to pay for extra water pressure.

Some homes have various valves installed in the plumbing system so that a leak or problem can be isolated and turned off. However, the wrong types of valves can impede water pressure.

"#$!$$

or those who have turned on a faucet to find a trickle or bathed under something more like a drip sprinkler than a shower, water pressure might be the culprit.

Inadequate water pressure can be a nuisance.

Remedying it could take a quick fix or a major overhaul.

There are many reasons for low water pressure. Diagnosing the problem is the key to fixing it. Here are some causes to consider. ◗ Rural areas that rely on well water may have fewer pounds of water pressure than suburban or city areas. ◗ Water softeners or filters in homes can reduce water pressure. ◗ Multi-level homes could experience a drop in water pressure in upstairs bathrooms. That’s because, for every 2.31 feet of vertical climb in a water line, a homeowner will lose a pound of water pressure. Water that originates in the basement and must travel upstairs could decrease by 12 pounds of pressure by the time it arrives at a third-floor bathroom. ◗ Clogged pipes or fixtures can reduce water pressure. Pipes that are also too small in diameter to meet a home’s water needs could also be to blame. ◗ Water restrictors in showerheads and other fixtures can reduce water flow in an effort to conserve the natural resource.

Homeowners can insert a gauge at the main water supply of the house to determine the pressure of the water at the source. This will help determine if the problem lies outside the home or inside.

Some water pressure issues have easy fixes.

Simply cleaning the screen on faucets or showerheads can remove debris and improve water flow. Purchasing fixtures that do not additionally restrict water flow can also alleviate the problem.

Carpeting Cost-conscious homeowners often love how eco-friendly carpeting options are typically lower in price. Recyclable carpets require few, if any, toxic materials to manufacture. What’s more, homeowners who enjoy changing their home’s decor from time to time will find ecofriendly carpet tiles are easy to install and, subsequently, replace when the itch to change a home’s interior arises.

Home Office Working from home has steadily grown in popularity as technology has made it easier for employees to get their work done without having to head into the office. For homeowners who want to add a home office to their homes, it’s easy to make that home office environmentally friendly.

Lighting fixtures are often a primary concern when designing a home office, in which men and women want to mirror the well-lit environment they’re accustomed to at traditional office buildings. To illuminate the room in an effective and eco-friendly way, individuals can install LED lighting fixtures. Such fixtures have a long life expectancy and use far less energy than their incandescent counterparts.

Another way to go green at the home office without spending much money is to make room for some plants in the office.

Plants will absorb toxins in the air and also improve the indoor air quality, which many office workers cite as a problem in traditional offices that don’t place too great an emphasis on indoor air quality.

Building Materials When building a dream home, homeowners also have a host of green building materials at their disposals. Be it mould-resistant drywall made from recycled paper or eco-friendly siding options, homeowners building their dream home or adding on to an existing home can choose eco-friendly building materials for both the interior and exterior of their homes.

Flooring An increasing percentage of homeowners prefer wood flooring over carpeting. Fortunately, there are several eco-friendly flooring options that use recycled and reliable wood from old buildings. In addition, homeowners can choose eco-friendly options like cork, rubber or even bamboo for their home’s flooring.

But eco-friendly flooring is not necessarily limited to wood flooring. Recyclable linoleum flooring is also available, and these new products are typically far less toxic than the linoleum floors of yesteryear.

Green home technology erhaps no decade has witnessed more rapid technological advancements than the opening decade of the 21st century.

At the turn of the century, cellular phones had still yet to catch on universally, and few households had high-definition televisions. Ten years later, cell phones are so prevalent even many school-aged children have them, and rare is the household that has not embraced HDTV. And technology has advanced in other areas as well. Among the more notable advancements is the increase in eco-friendly technologies. Homeowners hoping to make their homes more environmentally friendly have a host of options at their beck and call that enable them to do just that. No matter which area of the home needs to be addressed, chances are homeowners can find ways to improve their homes in an eco-friendly way.

Upgraded websites share common look for schools

BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

C

ommunicating online just became a lot easier for four Chilliwack schools.

The pilot phase of a School District No. 33 website redevelopment project is complete, and upgraded websites are now up for Chilliwack secondary, Vedder middle, Strathcona elementary and Evans elementary.

The sleek new sites will set the standard for the district’s remaining school websites, all of which are escheduled to be overhauled over the next year.

The project (part of a larger, extensive technology project that will cost the district nearly $2 million over two years) is designed to replace the hodgepodge of individual school websites that have sprung up since schools first started getting online with a set of new sites that share a common look and organization.

“The beauty of it is the consistency,” said

CSS science teacher Sharon Bernard, who was part of the group that got that school’s site up and running. “Everything is going to be in similar places no matter what school our students go to. If they come to us from Rundle or CMS, it’s not going to matter. Parents are going to see something very similar.”

Bernard, who reported on the project at a Chilliwack board of education meeting last week, says the new setup makes it easier to communicate with busy parents about grades, scholarships, courses, events and their child’s attendance.

Students who have to miss classes, meanwhile, can keep up with lessons and assignments online.

And all that online communication will save schools a ton of paper, according to Bernard.

“We used to print out a 90 to 100-plus page course booklet to give the students in mass quantities,” she said. “We don’t have to do that now.”

Looking for more partiers RCMP want to hear from teenagers who attended Facebook parties

M

ounties say they have yet to receive any more reports of more Facebook parties with sinister overtones since releasing news Monday that a 32-year-old man had allegedly sexual assaulted a teenager following a party he had organized.

Police said the party may have been organized using Facebook, but couldn’t say for sure whether the social networking site was used. They don’t think that the party was an isolated incident, however.

“The police have reason to believe there

have been other parties of this nature where underage youth were invited or attended parties hosted by older men who provided them with alcohol,” RCMP said in a press release. “It has also come to the attention of the police that photos of these parties have been posted on Facebook and conversations have been made between the male and some youth with regards to the parties.”

Mounties are asking anyone who may know of, or have attended, such a party to contact them.

“At this point, the RCMP are trying to determine if there have been more parties like this or if this was an isolated incident,” said the release.

The name of the accused has not been released because he has not yet appeared before a judge.

Tips on Internet safety for parents and teenagers can be found on the RCMP’s website, at bc.rcmp.ca.

Convictions in tree thefts

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

T

wo men have been convicted of stealing cedar and maple trees from Crown land in Chilliwack.

Harry Murphy and Roderick Danyluk were seen cutting down two Western red cedar trees and one Western broadleaf maple tree that on Crown land near Bridal Falls on May 28, 2009, according to the RCMP’s Forest Crime Investigations Unit.

The two then attempted to sell the wood cut at a nearby mill before the authorities intervened.

Last spring Murphy pleaded guilty to theft under $5,000 in Chilliwack Provincial Court and was handed a $5,000 fine, a year of probation and 50 hours of community service.

Then on Feb. 21 of this year, Danyluk pleaded guilty to “removing and transporting unmarked timber from Crown land” contrary to the Forest Act and received a $5,000 fine.

Const. Cameron Kamiya of E Division’s Forest Crime Investigations Unit told the Times the charges came as the result of tips from the public.

On average, there are 50 reported incidents

of tree theft in B.C. a year, according to the RCMP. Commonly targeted species are cedar and maple, which can fetch up to $5,000 a tree.

Most incidents occur at night, in remote locations, making it difficult to catch poachers in the act. Often other trees and wildlife habitat are damaged during the theft, according to police.

Kamiya said the public should call the local detachment if they suspect the theft of trees from Crown land.

For years local woodworkers have been aware of the poaching of highly-valued maple trees in and around the Chilliwack area. The poachers are usually after a rare and valuable type of wood, known as figured or curly maple, which is prized by luthiers— makers of stringed instruments such as violins and guitars.

Under the Forest Act, anyone found committing an offence is liable, on conviction, to a fine up to $500,000, imprisonment up to two years or both.

Under the Forest and Range Practices Act, anyone found committing an offence is liable, on conviction, to a fine up to $1 million, imprisonment up to three years or both.

News PLAN, from page 6 Pacific faults to spare most buildings from major structural damage in the case of a quake. But that doesn’t mean that there is no danger if the ground starts rumbling.

Furniture, windows and shelved objects represent some of the biggest dangers. MacDonald says residents should look around the house and consider what could fall during

City holding two emergency sessions an earthquake. Heavy objects should be placed low on shelves, while light objects can be placed further up. Anything mounted on the wall should be well-secured.

People should also prepare for the aftermath of a disaster, be it an earthquake or flood or fire. Families should designate safe areas—both in

the neighbourhood and beyond—to gather in the case of evacuation.

MacDonald said Chilliwack can provide emergency shelters for those evacuated, but that residents should try and arrange their own refuge in advance. “If you’ve got someone you can go stay with, that’s way more comfortable than having me put

you up,” he said. “I don’t have a bed for you. I might have a gymnasium floor, I might have a church pew and those are both uncomfortable places to stay.”

MacDonald notes that it’s often the after-effects of a storm, landslide or flood that affects people more than the disaster itself. He pointed to the

1998 ice storm in Quebec as one such example. It was an extended power outage, rather than the freezing rain itself that had the largest effect. ◗ To help get Chilliwack residents ready, the city is hosting two emergency preparedness sessions next weekend. Sessions take place March 22 and 24 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the city hall council chambers. Those attending are asked to contact city hall at 604-792-4611.

Commitment to Caring: Chilliwack Hospital Auxiliary’s 100 years, 1911-2011 is the story of determined women, in a time before they were considered persons under the law, who fundraised, sewed, canned and knitted to establish Chilliwack’s first hospital.

In a time before medicare, these women formed the Chilliwack Hospital Auxiliary in 1911 and recruited their sisters-in-law, daughters and friends to join them in their efforts and take over for them as they aged. They enlisted the support of the community in supporting the hospital for 100 years through wars, depressions, and social changes. They have left, and continue to leave, a lasting legacy with their hard work and dedicated volunteerism.

Richly illustrated with seldom-seen photographs, Commitment to Caring is a celebration of these women.

People CHEF DEZ

A

On Cooking

frequent statement used to describe perfectly cooked ribs (pork or beef) is that they are so tender they “fall off the bone.” The other day I was reminded about the way I used to incorrectly cook pork ribs when I was a very young adult, and thought it would be interesting to examine a more successful cooking technique. There are many ways to achieve mouthwatering, tender ribs, but I will share with you my favourite easy technique for today’s average home chef.

Unlike a great steak (such as striploin, prime, porterhouse, T-bone, tenderloin, etc.) ribs, be it beef or pork, have a large amount of connective tissue. They therefore cannot be cooked by the same procedure. These aforementioned steaks are very tender and can easily be cooked to perfection with a little seasoning and a few minutes on a hot grill.

The goal in cooking ribs to perfection, however, would include the breaking down of the connective tissue, to in turn tenderize the meat and release its grip from the rib bones.

Deteriorating connective tissue in meat is best accomplished by cooking for long periods of time with low moist heat such as with braising or stewing techniques. When I was younger (and inexperienced) I accomplished “fall off the bone” ribs by boiling them for an hour first, then slathering them in barbecue sauce, and then baking or grilling. Although I did get the connective tissue released from the bones, my ribs were left tasting bland, other than the flavour from the barbecue sauce on the outside. Water has no flavour and thus boiling in water as the main cooking procedure will not offer any complexity in flavour to the finished dish.

There are many ways to infuse flavour into your ribs like dry rubs or indirect heat over a fire for many hours as “traditional” barbecuing would suggest, but I want to offer you, the reader, a somewhat faster and easier approach.

First, season your ribs with salt and pepper on both sides. Over high flame on your outdoor grill, completely sear both sides of the ribs until they are caramelized brown. Remove from the heat and coat both sides with your barbecue sauce of choice. Preheat your oven to 300 C and lay the sauce-coated racks of ribs on a baking sheet.

a-half hours. This technique is called braising.

Pierce the aluminum foil in the corner and gently pour out the liquid. Carefully remove and discard the aluminum foil. Gently brush

the top of the ribs liberally with more barbecue sauce and finally broil the ribs on the tray in the oven for a few minutes until the sauce on the top has caramelized.

Gently remove the ribs

utmost care must be used to keep the racks in their original shape, as they will be so tender, that they will “fall off the bones.” ◗ Chef Dez is a food columnist, culinary instructor and cooking show performer.Visit him at www.chefdez.com.

F

inding success or even work in the acting world isn’t easy, so Chilliwack’s Andy Thompson created his own.

Thompson is an actor, writer, director, producer and founder of The Virtual Stage, a Vancouver theatre company that goes beyond the pure stage tradition by adding emerging technologies to each performance.

“I look at it in terms of the history of the theatre,” Thompson told the Times in a recent interview. “It goes back thousands of years to simply one or more people telling a story in front of one or more people. In the Internet age of e-mail and Facebook and everyone is making movies on their own and Photoshopping and all this kind of business, these tools are just now becoming commonplace in theatre practice.”

Thompson’s company is about to stage his multimedia adapta-

tion of George Orwell’s dystopian novel 1984 at The Cultch in Vancouver. The performance is a coproduction of The Virtual Stage and Langara College’s theatre program Studio 58—Thompson’s alma mater.

“I was really excited by the story,” he said, “the prophetic nature of the novel and its potential for our company to bring it to life and really do justice to the Orwellian ‘telescreen.’

“We are really doing everything we can to do the book justice.”

Thompson’s life in the theatre was not always meant to be. He was born at Chilliwack General Hospital and was raised in town.

He attended Sardis secondary and graduated in 1987 with honours in sciences. He did so well he received scholarships and planned on becoming an engineer.

But he went to what was then Fraser Valley College and instead of science, he enrolled in arts courses.

“My mother thought I would benefit from a more balanced brain,” he said.

Acting was one of the courses he took. Later on, a career counsellor asked what he enjoyed the most.

“I said, ‘I honestly enjoy acting more than anything else’ and he said, ‘well, aside from acting.’”

Told the odds of finding employment as an actor were about one in 10, Thompson thought that sounded just fine.

His biggest influence was founding member of the UFV theatre department, Ian Fenwick.

“He was very influential in my early development as an actor because he was the first one to encourage me to do it,” Thompson said. “But also to encourage my mom to let me do it because when she found out I was interested in being an actor she was a little reluctant.”

Thompson stuck with it and found some success in a difficult profession with work in theatre,

film and television. In the year 2000 he founded The Virtual Stage and began playwriting, directing and doing video design.

More recently he said he is interested in filmmaking.

Another ongoing project is The Virtual Stage’s production of No Exit, an adaptation of Jean-Paul Sartre’s influential book, which is off to San Francisco for a tour in April.

And while dystopian 1984 and existentialist No Exit sound like heavy topics, not everything Thompson does is serious. Anyone in Vancouver during the 2010 Olympics may have seen him in action as his stilt-walking, street hockey-playing comedy troupe Duh Hockey Guys (www. duhhockeyguys.com) were often found cruising the streets looking for a game.

MOVE: blurs the lines between art and dance

M

OVE: The Company brings their new contemporary dance show, Sold Doubt to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre March 26 at 8 p.m. as the final offering in the cultural centre’s Dance Series Performed to instrumental renditions of iconic rock group No Doubt’s greatest hits, Sold Doubt blends high-octane physicality with witty theatrics, as it plays on public perceptions of the contemporary music industry.

Making its way through the hits, the ballads, the dance remixes and the obscure songs you never knew

you loved, Sold Doubt blurs the lines between art, entertainment, dance and theatre in a truly unique fashion. Using No Doubt as merely a vehicle to explore our greater addiction to the idols we create and dispose of, the work juxtaposes “the power of the fans” against the power of “the suits.”

Perfume ads, photo shoots, product placements, and dance all come together to reveal a tale of just a girl, her band, and a shopping cart full of oranges.

Make your living room an intimate concert hall Home Routes puts musical stars on stage in your house

B

eing in attendance at an intimate musical performance at a small venue is always a treat, but imagine if that venue was your living room.

Rick and Glenda Standeven have now hosted two such “house concerts” at their home.

The concept is new in Chilliwack, but house concerts have been popular in the U.S. and Eastern Canada for some time.

The concerts are put on through Home Routes, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the love of music, to making music more accessible to a greater number of people and to supporting the artists that make the music. Home Routes is an organized approach to planning home-based shows that ensures a fun time for the presenter and the artist.

“So far, it’s been an awesome experience,” says Rick Standeven, “and we’re looking forward to having Jadea Kelly come next month.”

The Standevens started their connection with Home Routes last month when popular folk singer Shari Ulrich came to the Standeven home to entertain an enthusiastic group Photo by Rodney Bursiel

Jonathan Byrd and Corin Raymond played a “house concert” and Rick and Glenda Standeven’s home last Saturday. The two play Bozzini’s Upstairs Lounge on March 20.

Will dance in Miami

DANCE, from page 30 The mastermind behind the March 26 show is artistic director and company founder Josh Beamish. Beamish is an exception-

al dancer who brings pure visceral physicality to dance performances, and incorporates the traditional and the contemporary with an expertise that is truly impressive.

It is not surprising to find MOVE:

of 35 friends.

That concert was a huge success and last Saturday an even bigger crowd greeted popular singer/songwriter duo Corin Raymond and Jonathan Byrd. Raymond, from Toronto, has toured B.C. before but this was North Carolina resident Byrd’s first trip to western Canada. He was more than impressed with the warm welcome he received in Chilliwack saying, “This was the best stop on the tour so far.”

The duo performed to a packed house of 46 people.

The Standevens explain that Home Routes is about world-class musicians performing concerts in the comfortable intimacy of private homes. They’re fun to attend, fun to host, and, according to Ulrich, Raymond, and Byrd, they are fun to play. Just imagine your living room as a concert hall with 25 or more of your closest friends and their closest friends gathered for an evening of great music. Imagine great artists delivering the same show in your living room that they would present on the main stage of a folk festival or a concert hall and all for $15 per person which goes directly to the entertainer(s).

The hosts receive no remuneration except the satisfaction of sharing the musician’s passion for music with others, a free admission to the show, and the pleasure of sharing their home and a couple of home-cooked meals with some very interesting and talented entertainers. ◗ Raymond and Byrd are still in Chilliwack and play Bozzini’s Upstairs Lounge March 20 for those who missed them at the house concert and also for those who want a repeat performance. Doors open at 6 p.m., show at 8 p.m. For tickets call 604-792-0744.

The Company’s 2010/11 season including appearances at Miami’s International Ballet Festival, the Quinzena de Danca Festival in Portugal, and Shanghai’s Expo 2010. ◗ For tickets call the cultural centre

box office at 604-391-SHOW (7469) or in person Monday to Friday 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday and Sunday 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets are also available online at www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Important, life-directionchanging opportunities face you over the next four weeks, mainly in love, partnership, relocation, negotiation, agreements, litigation, dealings with the public, marriage and divorce. You can see events as opportunities or as challenges, even as threats of defeat. But even the worst case will be a “win” in that it grants you freedom. To succeed, see another’s point of view, fulfil another’s desire(s). Conciliate, encourage, merge, find common ground – easier after March 28. Stick to ongoing/past people/projects – brand new ones have an Achilles heel.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Great luck comes to your employment sphere over the weeks ahead.

Your hours or tasks are almost certain to increase, and your income with it. This might be short-term (e.g. overtime hours) or more permanent (e.g. a pay raise). Aim, if you can, for the permanent. But whatever occurs, it will cause a change in direction that lasts for eight years. Apply this luck (via your efforts) to a situation, job, project that is ongoing, or returns from the past. Initiating a brand-new project might lead to eight years of “on/off” work disruptions. Money luck Thursday. By mid-year, new luck!

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: The month ahead is one of the most important – and luckiest – in a decade, maybe many decades. You might experience a big, obvious event, or a less marked but significant “turn” that heads you in a new, exciting direction, in creative, speculative, risk-taking, romantic, pleasure or beauty zones. Two secondary elements play an important role: 1) communications or travel, and 2) your personality. Relationships will be sober, or deal with a realistic environment. Through March 28, obstacles exist; be patient, then leap! Avoid brand new projects/people: reprise the past.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Your clout, reputation are high among the powers that be. Step forward now through the weeks ahead, exhibit your skills, show your record, seek bigger responsibilities. Your career sector is under splendid, expansive rays of luck! However, several cautions: 1) you might meet opposition (or pursue the least lucky position under a misguided notion of responsibility) before March 29; 2) your best action will be taken after March 28; and 3) the best project, boss, etc., will probably be linked to the past – something brand new might have a built-in “go in circles” direction-finder.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The weeks ahead are very significant in intellect, education, media, publishing, far travel, international dealings, law, cultural rituals, religion, life philosophy, fame and especially, love. Your creative talents find a wide audience.

The most valuable gift: understanding. A few cautions: 1) headwinds, probably involving health or employment factors, assail you in these areas until March 28; 2) Mercury goes retro soon, so it isn’t the best time to start new projects. Your luck will be better with ongoing or old, revived projects, loves, situations. Romance Wednesday-Friday!

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Great, significant change arrives in the weeks ahead. It might be huge, obvious; or it might merely be a shift in direction that steers your next eight years (and beyond, because nothing returns). Finances, intimacy, health, and, less directly, employment/work can be deeply affected. Generally, this is a very lucky time. However, a couple of cautions: You’ll make much better headway after March 28; to this date, obstacles appear in money and love. To succeed, stick with an ongoing or return to a past sexual, domestic/property, financial or employment situation. Be optimistic!

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness soar now through the weeks ahead! Your luck hits a 13 year peak. It’s a splendid time to begin major projects, one of the best times in your life. But some advice: 1) projects that aren’t meant to work will “fail” (or give signals of demise – some subtle) by March 28; 2) it’s better to start after March 28; 3) for success, this project should be connected to a past person, project or situation; and 4) it’s best (for easy progress) to steer clear of ambition, career and investment. Chase far travel, gentle love and intellectual things.

Taurus April 20-May 20: Retreat, rest, find sweet solitude for the few weeks ahead. Your energy is low, but your spiritual,planning and administrative abilities are strong. Deal with institutions, civil servants, government – they could have a “treasure” for you.

Contemplate and plan. Be charitable. Tackle chores Sunday. Relationships flow smoothly Monday noon to Thursday, but you might meet a bit of deception midday Wednesday. A good investment opportunity can arise Thursday morning – seek it! Finish chores this week, as slowdowns and indecision start soon.

Saturday’s mellow, but not profitable.

Gemini May 21-June 20: A major wish might come true over the weeks ahead. It will probably be a wish about a relationship, romance, marriage (or divorce), about litigation, negotiation, friendship/ popularity – but it won’t be limited to these. It will very likely involve an ongoing or past situation, person or project. Now is the time to reprise the past, in a big way! Romantic or creative urges sweeten Sunday and early Monday. But settle down to chores Monday afternoon to Wednesday noon – all goes smoothly enough. Big opportunities face you Wednesday eve, Thursday. Be alert! Don’t trust “independence.”

Mar. 20 - Mar. 26 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The weeks ahead feature much luck on domestic, property, therapy, healing, nature, gardening, agriculture, security, retirement,child-oriented,foundational and nurturing fronts. This is a great time to buy a house, have a child, or expand business territory (“foundational”).

What you pursue should be something ongoing or from the past (e.g., a house you wanted to buy before but couldn’t). “Dilemma” choices face you through March 28, so proceeding after this is easier. What you do now will affect your income and spending for the next eight years. Think “cornerstone.”

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The weeks ahead can bring much indecision. You might see people around you making big moves, having luck pour onto them, and you can think: what about me? Don’t worry, your big luck runs from this June to June 2012 – whereas everybody “lucking out” now will get little June onward. Meanwhile, your communications, mail, friends, siblings, travel, paperwork and curiosity will expand in interesting ways. Problems and obstacles arise through March 28, so go slow in the areas listed. Stick to former or ongoing projects and people: the brand new will bring future delays.

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: The weeks ahead feature earnings, spending, possessions, sensuality and rote learning – in powerfully lucky ways. Your career and earnings can climb a ladder to new heights. For career, read “status” – for example, “marrying up” is a status move. (Great career hints Thursday morning.) Expect obstacles through March 28 – be patient, then leap! Since your relationships are headed for a period of delay and “circling,” you’ll fare best if you stick to ongoing or (probably luckier) past contacts and projects than if you try to launch new boats into new waters.
