The PMCA was formed as a way to promote the interests of residents, businesses, and stakeholders of Pitt Meadows. “The all-candidates meeting is just one of the many opportunities we hope to provide to both candidates and the community alike going forward,” Hanna Vorlicek, the PMCA president told Pitt council today.

Postmedia News

Guards were on heightened alert at Fraser Regional Correctional Centre this weekend.

There was “credible threat” that a gang member connected to the Red Scorpions and Bacon brothers is hiding an improvised firearm in the Maple Ridge prison.

Correctional staff received an anonymous letter from inmates last Wednesday, alleging that the prisoner was planning an escape attempt and had acquired a “pen gun” capable of firing live ammunition, to be used in a hostage-taking scenario.

Correctional officers said they are frustrated that prison officials didn’t order a full lockdown of the institution to address the threat. Instead, they briefly detained only some prisoners and waited two days to bring in sniffer dogs.

Postmedia News learned of the allegations through a separate letter from FRCC guards. Details contained in that letter have since been confirmed by a guard and the chair of the correctional officers’ union.

The anonymous letter to prison staff, known in prison lingo as a “kite,” was discovered late Wednesday afternoon. It laid out that contraband such as a cellphone, steroids and other drugs were hidden in cells, and alleged that inmates are being forced to hide contraband through threats of violence.

Management responded by locking up the prisoner’s unit and conducting a search. “ Whatever [the anonymous inmates] told us – drugs, steroids – it was in the exact place in the cell, TV, wherever [the kite] said they were trying to hide it,” said one guard, who spoke to Postmedia News on condition of anonymity.

“Everything written in there happened, in the exact cell.”

No gun was found.

However, only one unit was frisked and half the prison was unaffected by the search, the guard said. The prisoner was

“Credible threat” that a gang member may have a weapon put Fraser Regional Correctional Centre on alert this weekend. moved into segregation following the search.

Dean Purdy, chair of the Correctional and Sheriff Services Component of the B.C. Government Employees Union, on Sunday confirmed that correctional officers at Fraser Regional are on the lookout for an improvised firearm. They are also worried that prison officials’ refusal to initiate a full lockdown is a danger to guards and the public.

“We can confirm there was a credible threat,” Purdy said.

“We would have liked to see the jail go to immediate lockdown.

We’re dealing with more and more gang members inside our max security jails, and Fraser Regional is no different.”

Purdy said the officers he has spoken to still believe the inmates responsible may have had time to hide a gun.

“Most people think there’s a good chance this gun is here,” the guard agreed.

“Stuff gets around the jail.

A lot of times we don’t know how,” he said. “There’s no control factor. They could have been hiding it or hooping it [hiding it in the anal cavity], or it could have been passed off or slipped under a common room door to another unit, and then it’s gone.”

union co-chair has thanked management for doing so.

The spokesperson confirmed a unit was locked down following the threat, while cells, common areas and personal effects were searched. The warden and management responded according to established procedure, the spokesperson added, saying B.C. Corrections would not deny a lockdown when credible information is received about a weapon.

Municipal election

Daykin’s seat challenged Maple Ridge man switched from running for council to running for District’s top job.

by Maria Rantanen mrantanen@mrtimes.com

Craig Ruthven has declared his intention to run against incumbent Ernie Daykin for mayor of Maple Ridge.

Ruthven said in early September that he intended to run for Maple Ridge council, but he has now reconsidered and decided to throw his hat in

Pen guns, also known as zip guns, are typically small metal casings modified to fire .22-calibre bullets.

B.C. Corrections denied Sunday the allegation that its response to the threat put employees and inmates at risk.

A spokesperson said staff and management at FRCC have taken all appropriate measures to address any issues of concern that may have been brought to their attention, adding that the

the ring for the top job.

“There’s lots of quality [people] running for council,” Ruthven said. “I thought I could effect more change [as mayor].”

Ruthven has been involved in advocating for commercial development in the Albion Flats, but he told The TIMES that’s not the only local issue he is concerned about.

As of Wednesday at noon, Daykin was the only candidate to have filed his paperwork to run for the position of mayor of Maple Ridge. Nominations close at 4 p.m. on Oct. 14.

This year’s Fire Prevention Week theme is “Protect your Family from Fire” focuses on keeping you, your family and your community safer from fire. Building on the theme on 2010, which stressed the importance of smoke alarms and educating the public on installing, maintaining and testing smoke alarms, this year’s theme focuses on how to plan and practice escaping from a residence, should a fire occur.

We will have safety experts on site to check your baby seats & child restraints.

BECOME A FIRE CHIEF FOR A DAY ENTER TO WIN A LAPTOP COMPUTER All students in Kindergarten through Grade 7 will receive a booklet with activities to teach them about preventing home fires and escape planning with their family. Fire fighters will deliver them to all elementary schools in Pitt Meadows. Once these activities are complete parents and student must sign acknowledging they have completed their “Home Fire Safety Checklist” then they can submit the form to the fire department to enter them in a draw for a laptop computer offered by the Office of the Fire Commissioner. As a “thank you” to schools and teachers for teaching safety in their classrooms during Fire Prevention Week, the BC Office of the Fire Commissioner is also offering a $500 cash prize for one lucky school. This cash prize is to be shared by the classroom and the school for the purchase of educational materials and/or activities. The Pitt Meadows Fire Rescue Service will send your entry to them to be entered into the draw. From the same entry forms, the Pitt Meadows Fire Rescue Service selects one boy and one girl to be Fire Chief for a Day. Entries can be submitted to the Pitt Meadows Fire Rescue Service at our open house or Monday to Friday 8:30 am - 4:30 pm before October 21st 2011.

Fires are real, not just events in the news or movies. Fire is fast, extremely hot and spreads rapidly. It creates thick black toxic smoke that is even more deadly than the flames! When fire strikes, seconds are important!

There is no time to stop and think. Everyone needs to know what to do!

Smoke alarms provide the early warning of the problem and a home fire escape plan will provide time to escape safely. Although we hope you never have to use it, planning and practising your home escape plan may one day save your life and the lives of your loved ones.

The fire service has again partnered with local schools to teach children and their families the importance of installing and maintaining working smoke alarms and developing and practicing a home fire drill. Children will learn these skills by completing an interactive fire safety worksheet Fire Safety Starts with You! - provided by your local fire department. Those children successfully completing the activity booklet and the entry form are eligible to enter to win a laptop computer.

Remember, Fire safety starts with you!

A Maple Ridge crash sent a 19year-old driver to Vancouver General Hospital.

by Sylver McLaren

smclaren@mrtimes.com

The Jaws of Life were used to extract a 19-year-old Maple Ridge woman who was seen driving erratically down Lougheed Highway at 6:30 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 8.

Mounties received a report that a driver had lost control of her car at the 23100 block of Lougheed Highway.

The car had jumped the median and hit a concrete hydro pole before landing in a ditch, according to Ridge Meadows RCMP Staff Sgt. Hector Lee. Firefighters used the Jaws of Life to gain access to the driver.

The victim was then air-lifted to Vancouver General Hospital, he explained.

“She was conscious at the time of transport and it is believed her injuries are non-life threatening,” Lee said.

The crash is under investigation at this time. Anyone who has information about this accident is asked to call Ridge Meadows RCMP at 604-463-6251.

Our View

Plan to keep family alive Do you have an evacuation plan to get your family out of your home safely, in the event a fire breaks out?

Do you have a special place picked out – not too far from the house, but far enough for assured safety – where everyone will meet, so you can count fingers and toes and be assured everyone is accounted for?

Is your home equipped with working smoke alarms, so your family knows when to high-tail it outside to your “safe spot?”

Have you checked the batteries lately? Have you pushed that “test” button, to make sure the alarm really is in working order?

How about a few fire extinguishers in strategic places, especially the kitchen, and probably the garage? Do you know that they aren’t past their “best before” date? A fire extinguisher that won’t operate when the chips are down is even worse than not having one at all.

In any case, the most important thing to do when a fire breaks out in your home is to get out… together… to that safe spot.

This week is Fire Prevention Week across Canada.

First observed in this country in 1919, it falls early every October, near the anniversary of one of the deadliest and most destructive fires ever in North America – the 1871 Chicago Fire.

But the week is intended to draw attention to a fire that is potentially even worse than that fire of 140 years ago: the one that could happen in your own home, and decimate your own family, if you’re not prepared.

There were more than 2,000 residential fires reported throughout B.C. in 2010. Those fires resulted in 33 fatalities, and many, many more injuries.

In fact, most fire-related injuries and deaths are caused by residential fires.

Getting ready – with a family plan – could be a life-and-death decision.

–B.G.

Drug policy

Obscene profits fuel drugs Dear Editor,

Never mind the millions spent fighting Insite, the Vancouver harm reduction site.

Forget the 6,000-mile white elephant fence proposed to be built between Canada and the U.S. Forget all the money to be spent building and maintaining $16 billion in new prisons to house our many drug users, recreational and otherwise.

I have just seen pictures that prove beyond a doubt

the absolute futility of our present drug policy.

A raided Mexican drug lords mansion contained more than $22 billion.

Yes, that’s billions of dollars in boxes of cash scattered about the home, and enough assault weapons to wage a large war. There are reported to be at least 27 other fortresses just like it in Mexico alone; these people can afford to buy armies bigger than the government, buy politicians, judges, police

Drug policy

Abstinence only way out Dear Editor,

I am a recovering drug addict. All of my fellow addicts in recovery to whom I have spoken about Insite attest that the only realistic remedy for our addiction is abstinence, and the continued participation in a positive peerto-peer group setting.

Addiction is a disease that cannot be cured. It affects physiological functions of the brain’s inner chemical workings, as well as creating other physical problems; it wearies the fabric of the soul through vulnerability to mental illnesses like depression and anxiety disorders, and addiction literally destroys the human spirit’s capacity to enjoy dignity and self-worth.

“Harm reduction” is the single most grievous error in public health policy ever to infect our society. It is absurd, and demonstrates a great lack of respect for the successful abstinence/treatment programs that realize the paramount medical need is to remove all drugs, including alcohol, from an addict’s grasp.

My heart breaks for what judicial activism has wrought. I weep when I think how blind shepherds in the medical community can claim that the provision of free crack pipes will somehow preserve human life.

Robbie Armstrong, Pitt Meadows

departments, whatever they need.

You have the same situation all over the world, from Afghanistan to Colombia. There is just too much money in drugs to control it; prohibition never worked with alcohol and it has obviously not worked with other drugs.

I know the hard heads and religious fanatics, as well as the gangs and other criminals that reap the rewards of this destructive business, will never change, but the rational citizens of North America have to wake up and stop this failed, insane social engineering experiment.

People have always used drugs, and most do so with little or no harm.

There will always be those who have addiction problems, and there should be education and human harm reduction treatment for them.

We have to move to a rational, workable system, to take obscene profits out of drugs and put control and profit of the drug markets back in government hands where it belongs and can be regulated.

Albert Einstein’s definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Wayne Clark, Maple Ridge

Maple Ridge

Council raise beyond others’ hope Dear Editor,

Regarding the current Maple Ridge council’s giving themselves a 13 per cent increase last month [Raises for council, Aug. 4, TIMES] I had to comment on this move.

First off, who in these current economic times

is receiving 13 per cent increases?

I know, as a health care worker, I certainly won’t be getting 13 per cent in our next round of bargaining in 2012.

We’ll be lucky to get zero, zero, and one per cent.

Correction

Typo not columnist’s error Dear Editor,

Tim [Tyler, in his column OMG: Literacy can be contagious, Oct. 6, TIMES] asks if anyone sees a mistake in his column to write. Do my eyes deceive me, or is that a comma at the end of his column instead of a period?

Cherryl Katnich, Maple Ridge

[Editor’s Note: The typograhical error at the end of Tim Tyler’s Oct. 6 column was our mistake, not his. But thank you for noticing. The last sentence in that column should have read: “I’ll starve first or go to Thrifty’s.”]

Correction

Three too many for bicycle

Dear Editor,

Please inform staff that a “bike” (or bicycle), by definition, can only have two wheels [Stolen three-wheeled bike returned, Oct. 6, TIMES].

Try trike, tricycle, or even three-wheeler.

Reg Rowe, Pitt Meadows

I hope our “families first” Premier Christy Clark hasn’t forgotten how she voted to reduce the Hospital Employees Union (HEU) wages by 15 per cent when she was in cabinet with Gordon Campbell.

I have certainly not forgotten that wicked and mean-spirited wage cut by the Liberal government, which hurt so many families and children!

So, I’m just concerned at what kind of example council is setting by doing this at this time.

Are they going to be giving the city workers the same in their round of bargaining?

I think not!

Does the District even have the money to do it, or are we going to be raising our taxes again next year by another five per cent?

I believe we should be setting an example by tightening our own belts and reducing the city’s costs at this time.

John McKenzie, Maple Ridge

You & The Law ACCIDENT VICTIMS GET HOUSEKEEPING COMPENSATION

If you’re injured in a car crash – in addition to other claims – you might have a claim for your loss of homemaking ability.

Regardless of whose fault it was, you’re entitled to certain accident benefits from ICBC, including up to $145 a week in homemaker expenses if you can no longer perform most of your household chores.

Also, if you didn’t cause the accident, you’re entitled to claim compensation for your inability or reduced ability to do housework. The accident benefits will be deducted from the compensation amount (so you don’t receive “double” compensation).

Consider the case of L.M., 47, who was rearended in two car accidents, where she hurt her neck, shoulder and back. She worked full-time as a patient placement clerk and part-time as a food-server. As a result of the accidents, she had to quit her part-time job and reduced her full-time job to four days a week.

She could also no longer ride her horse or go boating and camping (which she previously loved to do).

At trial, the judge concluded that her ability to vacuum, cook, do laundry, clean dishes, remove garbage, sweep and wash floors, work in the garden and look after the family’s dogs had been severely limited. Her husband, son and son’s girlfriend pitched in and voluntarily did many of the housekeeping tasks she could no longer do.

As part of her court award of compensation, the judge valued her loss of housekeeping capacity, both past and future, at $10 an hour for 10 hours a week until age 60, based on what it would cost if someone else was paid to perform the services she could no longer do. For the four years between the time she was injured and the trial, she was given $20,800. For her future lost housekeeping capacity, she was given $43,170.40.

The case was appealed. The B.C. Court of Appeal repeated the view that a person is entitled to recover compensation for their inability or reduced ability to

do housework – whether or not they have actually put out money to hire a replacement housecleaner.

So it doesn’t matter if, to save costs, family members pitch in and help for free, or if the housework simply doesn’t get done at all. The person can still be financially compensated if they couldn’t and didn’t do the housework that they normally would do.

The Court of Appeal found no error with the trial judge’s reasoning and approved the judge’s decision.

Later, the B.C. Court of Appeal considered another claim for loss of housekeeping capacity. S.D., 32, had suffered a “moderately severe whiplash injury.” At home, her common-law husband did an extra 1½ to two hours of housework per week that she could no longer do. The Court of Appeal confirmed that her compensation should include $2,610 for the loss of 1½ hours of housework a week for the period before the trial, and $13,000 for future loss of homemaking capacity. The future amount assumed she’d need the same amount of assistance for 10 years following her trial, then a reduced level after that for the rest of her life.

Past and future lost housekeeping ability is a legitimate claim, which may deserve substantial compensation. If you’re hurt in an accident, your lawyer can advise you on the total value of your claim and help you obtain the compensation to which you may be entitled.

Music

Youthful bluegrass band shares the stage with Oh Susanna this Saturday.

A trio of young men take to the stage at The ACT on Saturday, with a blend of bluegrass, country, and folk-rock music.

The Abrams Brothers, a band from Kingston, Ont., are stopping in Maple Ridge on Saturday night as part of a Kamloops-to-Ontario tour, sharing the stage with singer-songwriter Oh Susanna.

The trio just released its fourth album, Northern Redemption, on June 21.

Just between the ages of 16 and 19, they have already been performing together for more than a decade.

The Abrams Brothers are John, 19, on vocals and guitar, James, 16, on vocals and fiddle, and cousin Elijah, 19, on bass.

They are fourth-generation musicians, with musical roots reaching back to their great-grandparents.

In 2005, the Ontario-based group became the youngest Canadians to appear on Nashville’s iconic Grand Ole Opry.

The band toured Europe for the first time in 2006, and also received the Daniel Pearl Memorial Violin, an award given to especially gifted young musicians, in honour of international journalist and musician Daniel Pearl.

The band also paid tribute to Arlo Guthrie and Bob Dylan, with an album called Blue On Brown, in 2008.

“These guys are way too young to be that good,” Arlo Guthrie said.

The Abrams Brothers’ youthful exuberance will be complemented by Oh Susanna’s depth of emotion.

In a career spanning just over a decade, Oh Susanna has released five critically acclaimed records, noted for their contemplative, thoughtful, folk-inspired songs that transport listeners into an imaginary emotional landscape.

Oh Susanna’s Suzie Ungerleider’s voice, always a marvel, is a haunting, expressive instrument that she uses to stunning effect on Soon the Birds, her recent album that once again realizes the full power of her voice as a narrative songwriter.

The Abrams Brothers and Oh Susanna perform on Saturday, Oct. 15, at 8 p.m.

Tickets are $32 for adults, $29 for seniors, and $15 for students.

Shop offers books, more

A new shop that has “bean around” for a few months is seeping into the hearts of Maple Ridge residents .

Maple Ridge’s newest used book store, Bean Around Books, has a unique twist. It is also a tea and coffee shop. While browsing gently used books, you can enjoy a cup of tea from a choice of more than 25 different loose-leaf teas.

I visited the owner Dan Ruimy who explained the contents of his newest tea blend – mint and chocolate. He is considering naming the concoction After Eight Fifteen. It smelled so good.

In addition to his selection of books and looseleaf teas, Ruimy also offers tea accessories, coffee, locally handmade jewelry and art, free wireless Internet, Sunday morning meditation classes, Friday evening card readings, and a warm, cozy, relaxed environment to read, do homework, or work.

The books are well priced, as he tries to beat

the lowest prices out there, he said.

Dan Ruimy “Big booksellers like opened Bean WalMart would probably Around Books reduce the ticket price on Lougheed by 30 per cent, so I try Highway in to beat those prices,” Maple Ridge five Ruimy said. months ago.

Ruimy teaches parttime at Douglas College in the self-employment Sylver McLaren/TIMES program, focused on sales and marketing. He also founded Tactical Approach Consulting, a business that helps companies with operations and branding, which is also run out of Bean Around Books.

“It’s wonderful. We are very well received.

Everyone loves us and says that it’s nice to have this type of shop in Maple Ridge,” Ruimy added.

Meanwhile, on Sept. 27 Ruimy was voted in as the chair of events and marketing with the Downtown Maple Ridge BIA.

Anniversary

Haney bank celebrates

100 years

Bank of Montreal is celebrating its 100th anniversary of the Haney Branch with a party tomorrow.

by Sylver McLaren

Sylver McLaren/TIMES

Bank manager Jayne Westwood has worked for the Bank of Montreal for 34

smclaren@mrtimes.com

It was Oct. 16, 1911 when Bank of Montreal, Canada’s first bank, opened its doors for business in Haney. This was the first bank facility in the little community known as Port Haney.

Prior to this all banking was done from the Bank of Montreal branch in New Westminster, which was fairly inconvenient given the mode of transportation and state of the roads at the time.

The Maple Ridge Board of Trade requested that Bank of Montreal establish a bank in Port Haney. It was first located in a frame building on River Road, across from the CPR station and managed by F.A. McCrae with a staff of two.

Original Haney branch of the Bank of Montrreal.

The building was built by Mary Berry away from the river to the upper Charleton Storey, the first female entretown.

Cranberries wish for sun Even though cranberries are a little late this year because of the weather, the industry is doing well.

by Sylver McLaren

smclaren@mrtimes.com

The search for the right shade of red helps drive the cranberry industry in Maple Ridge and across British Columbia.

Mike Wallis, the executive director of the B.C. Cranberry Growers Association, said many farmers are still waiting to harvest their crops this year.

“There’s just a few growers harvesting now; they’re just waiting for the colour,” Wallis said.

Cranberries all start out as white berries. Over the summer, the sun changes them to a deep red. The more sunlight, the quicker they ripen.

“The deeper the red when the growers harvest, the better,” Wallis said.

Like many other crops, from strawberries to corn, the cool, wet spring and early part of summer have been the prime cause of the delay for cranberry farmers.

However, it hasn’t devastated the industry.

“The best thing that could happen in

the near future is a few more days of sun, said Wallis.

“There were about 1106 acres of cranberry harvested in Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge, according to our 2010 records,” said Wallis.

While Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows have quite a few cranberry bogs, (nearly 20 per cent in B.C.) it isn’t the biggest growing centre in the province. That would be Richmond, where about 45 per cent of all the cranberry bogs are located.

The remainder of the 6,000 acres of fields are spread across North and South Langley, as well as Delta, Agassiz, and Abbotsford. A few new fields are being created in Chilliwack.

What cranberry growers are looking for is flat land with abundant water supplies.

Cranberry fields are flooded for the harvest, first to knee height, then to waist height after machinery knocks the fruit from the plants. Workers scoop up the floating berries.

Because growers want evenly-flooded fields, they’ve taken to laserleveling their bogs.

That ensures that every area is under an equal amount of water, and reduces water use.

The cranberry expansion is driven by the berry’s status as a health food, similar to blueberries.

Fire alarms false Firefighters have shown up twice in the past two weeks for a false alarm at the Haney Professional Building at North Avenue and 224th Street in Maple Ridge. People were seen standing in the rain and re-entering the medical office building as firefighters were leaving on Tuesday afternoon.

Upper Pitt

Grizzly bears moving down

A wildlife photographer has rare footage of a nearby grizzly bear.

by Larry Pynn

Postmedia News

Nick Didlick wasn’t sure what to expect when he hiked into the thick rainforests of the upper Pitt River Valley and set up a remotely activated video camera on a trail beside a salmon-spawning channel.

The professional photographer and fishing guide recalls returning two weeks later, crouching down, peering at the small image on the camera, and realizing right away he had captured something special.

“I looked and said, ‘Oh my God, this is a grizzly,’” said Didlick, who first saw what he believed to be grizzly tracks in the valley in 2005.

“I guess it wasn’t a good place to be alone.”

Didlick’s rare footage also highlights the fact that grizzlies are gradually expanding their range in southwestern B.C. “People ask, do you ever expect to see one coming to Grouse Mountain in the next 20 years?” said Bruce McLellan, a wildlife ecologist with the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations.

“That wouldn’t surprise me in the next year.

A five-year-old male at Grouse Mountain wouldn’t shock me.”

The province estimates there are 16,000 grizzlies in B.C. The species is rated “special concern” overall, but remains threatened throughout most of the Lower Mainland region.

Grizzlies seem to doing well in the south Chilcotin and upper Lillooet River and Pemberton areas, as well as west of Whistler and the Sea to Sky Highway, McLellan said.

They remain rare in the north Cascades, as well as south of Anderson Lake and in the Nahatlatch area and Stein Valley, a provincial park spanning more than 107,000 hectares but providing relatively poor grizzly habitat. This small, isolated population of about 25 animals has the

lowest genetic variability of any grizzlies in North America after Kodiak Island, Alaska, McLelland said.

He also noted that grizzlies do not disperse quickly, as wolves do, and young females tend to stick close to their mothers’ home range.

Of the approximately 10 grizzlies radio-collared for research in the region, biologists tracked one female to just above Function Junction, a commercial/industrial area on the south side of Whistler.

“Nobody knew she was there,” McLellan said.

“They are around.”

Research is showing that while the territories of smaller Interior grizzlies can interface with those of larger coastal grizzlies, the former prefer to fatten up on sugar-filled huckleberries in late season, even when protein-rich spawning salmon are present.

A coastal female grizzly that eats fish might weigh

200 kilograms, twice that of a non-fisheating grizzly. Males can weigh twice as much as females, McLelland said.

As for Didlick’s midAugust video images, he said Monday that the time display on his camera showed the grizzly had been documented just five hours after he had left the site. The camera also contained images of black bears.

Dan Gerak, owner of Pitt River Lodge, said he’s been coming to the upper Pitt for 40 years – and living there for the last 22 – and says Didlick’s images are the first confirmation he’s seen of grizzlies. “It’s nice to see them move in here,” he said, noting wolves have also entered the valley.

The upper Pitt Valley is cut off by roads from the rest of Metro Vancouver.

It is located less than an hour’s boat drive from the south end of Pitt Lake, in Pitt Meadows.

If we follow a team closely we are supporters and fans. Go to a game and we become spectators.

Bet on the result and we are called gamblers.

When we talk about each other we describe the work we do. People want to know what job we are in. They will say my neighbour the teacher, the carpenter, the pilot, or bus driver.

Individuals are defined by their religion and politics: she’s a Catholic, he’s a Buddhist, she’s a Conservative, he’s a Liberal. Every few years there is an election and we become voters.

Using our talents may result in us being musicians, painters, dancers, or writers. In the theatre we are actors, directors, electricians, stage hands.

In the game of life we may be opponents, competitors, adversaries, rivals. We aren’t always playing on the same side.

Enter a competition and we are contestants, come first and we are winners.

Nobody wants to be a loser.

If we have jobs we are workers. We may be managers or supervisors, agents, clerical assistants, janitors. As workers

we become taxpayers.

At the bank we may be borrowers or depositors.

Sometimes we are spenders, at other times, savers.

We try not to be risk-takers.

If we go to another country we go as travellers; move from one place to another and we are visitors or newcomers; intend to stay there, and we are immigrants.

Later, if we do stay, we become residents, but to people who do not know us, we are strangers.

Go to work in your car and you are a driver, travel in someone else’s car and you’re a passenger, leave your car in the wrong place and you’re an illegal parker, speed or drive after drinking and you may be a criminal.

Gather with others for laughter and fun and you are known as a partygoer, stay at a friend’s house and you are treated as a guest, have a friend to your house and you switch to being a host.

Many of us who are parents are happy to be grandparents, even though we know that the lives we have lived, with the parts we have played, are closer to the end than the beginning.

uring our lives we may play many parts.

We start out as babies, quickly become infants. And in a matter of months, children.

We quickly learn that we are sons and daughters. Time passes and we become teenagers. While we are doing so, we are students at school where we may shine as athletes or scholars or both. We join teams and bands and become members of one group or another.

Throughout this time, and as we grow to adulthood, we find we are somebody’s friend.

We share a secret and become a confidant.

When we go into a store we are customers, in the doctor’s office we are patients, in the lawyer’s office, clients.

Get through a rough time and we are survivors.

We try not to be fools, dupes, or victims.

At sometime we may marry and become husbands and wives, and then as time passes, mothers and fathers and as our brothers and sisters marry and have children we find ourselves being cousins, aunts and uncles, and somebody’s in-laws.

In our town we are citizens. If we were born here we are natives. On our street we are neighbours.

If we care we serve as volunteers. In the park we are walkers, runners, or cyclists. On the field we are players, on the ice, skaters, on the slopes, skiers or boarders.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Soon, what has been an open relationship will grow more intimate or secretive.

“Open” or surface opportunities will become deeper.

At least one of October’s agreements (or fights) will soon turn the corner into funding, commitment and co-operation on crucial, “can’t back out” levels. You’re getting lots of indication, words and messages about these upcoming consequential times – and you’re already looking forward to it, feeling drawn. Sunday/Monday are wise, gentle – someone might show love. Take care of domestic issues midweek. Romance, creative urges soar Thursday/Friday!

Taurus April 20-May 20: This is your last week of work, health concerns and general drudgery. You see glimmers of fresh horizons and exciting relationships.

Next week these will become full, solid opportunities – to relocate, to form important relationships, make agreements, negotiate, to grab a bigger piece of the business pie, to make new friends. Meanwhile, complete your work so you’ll be free for these more exciting times.

(They begin Oct. 23.) Chase money Sunday/Monday – your luck’s good. Communicate happily Tuesday, cautiously Wednesday. Your intuition’s high Friday.

Romance, beauty Saturday.

Gemini May 21-June 20: You’ve been steeped in the pleasure and beauty of life all October. It hasn’t been a huge swell for most Geminis: that waits for 2012. Still, pleasure, romance, creativity and successful speculation continue this week: speak of love, express yourself.

Your charisma, energy and effectiveness soar Sunday/ Monday – charge after what (or who) you want (best before mid-afternoon Monday). Your money luck is high Tuesday, but you meet financial barriers Wednesday: stay “small.” Travel, communicate Thursday/Friday.

Your intuition about your life is very high: make choices.

Home, Saturday.

October 16 - 21 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Financial affairs remain very important to Nov. 10 – especially net worth, investments, debts, other people’s money. Investing in real estate is worthwhile, but take care with other vehicles – impulse outweighs reason. Intimate affairs also remain intense.

You might end a “lust” attraction now or soon; or you might start one. (It likely would not grow into a marriage.)

All these themes arise strongly Thursday/Friday – luck flows with you, but if you’re unsure, wait: Saturday brings wisdom. Be ambitious all week, especially during a worklike, productive Sunday/Monday.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: It’s a week of love, understanding and “scholarship.” Charge ahead with (but complete rather than start) foreign travel, higher education, legal, cultural, publishing, religious and similar projects. Relationships remain intense (to Nov. 10) – this could lead to marriage or intense affairs for some. (Relationship events/starts at present can lead, by mid-November to June 2013, to deep sexual, intimate affairs – or to impulsive money events.) Romance, creativity and pleasure fill Sunday/Monday. Tackle chores midweek. Those intense relationships show up Thursday/Friday.

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: One week left of mystery, of financial, intimate, sexual and lifestyle choices. Work has been intense and hectic all October – this continues to early-mid November. Keep at it – if you aren’t making more money yet, your efforts will lead to more somewhere. (In November, seven months of relationship intensity start.) Rest, enjoy home, nature and children Sunday/Monday. Your romantic, creative side emerges Tuesday (smooth, successful) and Wednesday (barriers).

Tackle chores, employment and health concerns Thursday/Friday. Love and business meetings hold excitement Saturday! timstephens@shaw.ca

“I saw your ad with Mr. Huber’s endorsement. After checking two other flooring businesses, I decided on Diverse Flooring because of you and your staff’s excellent service and up front clear approach (you were the only one who mentioned the potential floor leveling and who was willing to go the extra mile to find the perfect heating pad!) Thank you, all the best in your business. You are on the right path to success.”

Just wanted to thank Team Diverse, and the outstanding installers working with Diverse Flooring. Right from start to finish we were impressed with the professional, courteous manner of everyone on your team. We were called each day to confirm the time the installers would arrive and were continually called to make sure we were happy and if there was anything you could do for us. The end results are fantastic; we love all our new flooring and would highly recommend Diverse Flooring!
