time of their use as grow houses. Furthermore, it is believed that most (but not all) grow operations are run by people renting a home from an absentee landlord. The Times did not receive dates for when each grow operation was busted. Nevertheless, the scope of the data is revealing. The highway splits the grow houses nearly in two; of the 219 grow operations (seven homes were used twice), 124 were north of the Trans-Canada Highway and 95 were south of the No. 1. Prosperity was no guarantee of a grow house-free neighbourhood. In the grittier neighbourhood wedged south of Yale Road and north of the train tracks, 19 drug houses were busted. But that number is eclipsed in well-todo Promontory Heights, which was home to 22 “noxious trades.” Sardis Pond was another hot spot, with a map showing blue dots, signifying grow houses, clustered

hilliwack residents really like being Chilliwack residents. More than four out of five adults surveyed as part of the 2009 Quality of Life Survey reported being “somewhat” or “very” satisfied with Chilliwack as a place to live. That’s an 11 per cent increase over the 2004 survey. “I bring good news,” said UFV sociology professor Katherine Watson before she presented highlights from the Chilliwack Social Research and Planning Council (CSRPC) study to city council on Monday. Watson pointed out that despite the study being done last year, during an economic recession, satisfaction with life in Chilliwack among respondents increased from 2004. The study asked questions on a broad range of topics such as home life, neighbourhoods, crime, economy, health, housing and leisure. The latter topic showed some of the most dramatic changes since the 2004 survey was done. In what was called an “overwhelmingly positive response,” 95 per cent reported that Chilliwack offers or mostly offers the recreational facilities required. In 2004, that number was just 42 per cent. Gaetz said it was clear “the community had struck the right balance” when it comes to taxpayer funding of recreational facilities. She told the Times that satisfaction with recreational facilities helps the community beyond just helping people play. “What we know about healthy communities and recreational opportunities is it cuts down in areas

arkel Drive sits at the very top of Promontory Heights. It’s an unimposing stretch of road barely 100 metres long where nine homes, plus half a duplex, look out over the nicely-curbed road; the houses are large, mostly new, and several are undergoing renovations. New— but not flashy—vehicles rest in driveways. If you overlook a couple unruly lawns and a red City of Chilliwack notice in the window of the largest home, you would hardly suspect that in the last six years, four marijuana grow operations have been busted on this block, including two in the same house. Whether by chance or design, Ma r k e l Dr i v e h a s b e c o m e a favourite neighbourhood for marijuana growers. But it’s hardly the only stretch of road that has hosted multiple grow operations in recent years.

{ Homegrown } Next: An unused deterrent Oct. 29: Grow house owner Nov. 2: Is it getting better?

An analysis by the Chilliwack Times shows that marijuana grow houses have been set up in a diverse array of neighbourhoods both poor and rich, rural and urban. From Sunrise Drive on Chilliwack Mountain, to Sunset Drive near Prospera Centre, grow-ops have been set up on nearly every block. Indeed, it’s more likely that you have a grow-op on your block than a corner store. In 2004, city council passed a

bylaw that required buildings that housed grow-operations and other so-called “noxious trades” to pass an inspection before they could be reoccupied. Earlier this year, the Times asked for, and received, a comprehensive list of nearly every property—210 in total—that has fallen under the bylaw’s purview in the last six years. Of those properties, all but two were marijuana grow operations. The non-pot pair hosted a different sort of drug business, according to city hall. Since receiving the city hall report, police have busted at least one more grow-op. However, the RCMP does not publicize every grow-op drug bust it makes. Using Google Maps, the Times plotted each address on a map, along with a few more recent busts. (The map can be viewed at www. chilliwacktimes.com). It’s important to note that all those addresses were former homes of marijuana and other drug production. In most cases the current residents of each property did not occupy the homes at the

Briefly Lane closures for construction Construction will begin soon on a 4.2-kilometre median cable barrier on Highway 1 between Young and Lickman Roads. The project—announced in August to extend the existing barrier to the east—will cause lane closures in the westbound and eastbound passing lanes until project completion in March. Funding for the project was jointly paid for by the provincial and federal governments, with the federal portion coming from the $4 billion Infrastructure Stimulus Fund. “The sooner the cable barrier is completed, the sooner it can begin reducing the severity of accidents and hopefully saving lives,” says Chilliwack MLA John Les.

Hope and Agassiz-Harrison, smaller school districts about to be folded in with Chilliwack, were ready to fight the provincial government’s planned amalgamation of boards and administrations. “We’re going to fight them every step,” said Agassiz-Harrison board chair Delores Schoenbaechler. “Amalgamation will definitely give us a very small voice.” Of the $1.5 million in savings expected, $1 million is expected to come from Hope.

Another kid further back—he can’t be much older than 18—was one of Robotham’s best buddies. He died more than 60 years ago, struck down while fighting in the Second World War near the French town of Cannes. And there, in the second row, marches Robotham—the band’s second drummer. In some of his photographs, Robotham stands smiling alongside friends later cut down in action. In others, he’s one face among hundreds in his division about to head off to war.

Second World War veteran John Robotham shows off a prized newspaper proclaiming the end of war with Germany.

Canada, others survived the battles but have died over the course of the last 65 years. And a dwindling number, like Robotham, remain. With the average age of Second World War vets at 87, the public is clamouring for stories of a conflict that continues to impact how we live our lives. On Tuesday, Robotham was one of more than two dozen veterans who told their stories to the Memory Project, an endeavour by the Historica Dominion Institute to collect the tales of veterans across Canada. Some like Robotham fought on the front lines in Europe. Others played vital—but sometimes unseen roles—in the monumental effort against fascism. Doug May, for example, grew up in Cultus Lake and joined the navy in 1942 at the age of 18. Trained as

“A fair number of veterans tell us it’s the ﬁrst time they’ve shared those stories. I think they realize that the time is really now to share them.”

Jill Patterson a telegrapher, May was placed on a Corvette that escorted supply convoys back and forth across the Atlantic. Over the next three years, he would cross the dangerous ocean 14 times from Newfoundland to Northern Ireland, usually out of sight from the ocean, listening to telegraph signals in a small room. “It pretty well drove us mad,” May remembers of the incessant bee-

ping. Outside the convoy could be under attack, but inside the telegraph cabin, May said, “we’re looking at four walls. You don’t know what’s going on.” May, 86, downplayed his role and his story, but chuckled about running into a friend with whom he had sailed on Cultus Lake on his ship after departing from Halifax. Now retired after years working for the Unemployment Insurance Corporation and Immigration Canada, May spends his days working at his self-built Ryder Lake home, where he says “I’m going to have to live to be 140 to get all the jobs I need done.” He says he’s noticed a resurgence in interest among the public.

New Sto:lo centre innovation winner Designed by Patrick Stewart

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

ust four days before its official opening, the $12-million Sto:lo Resource Centre building on the Coqualeetza site on Vedder Road has been named the most innovative project in the province. Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification Lynn Yelich announced the centre as the winner of the 2010 Minister’s Award for Excellence and Innovation. The 24,800-square-foot, threestorey building will be used for Sto:lo Nation business, education and culture. It will house a library, an elders’ room, three high-tech research collaboration and videoconferencing boardrooms, offices, a Halq’emeylem language lab, historical archives, an artifact lab, multi-media classrooms as well as a temperature controlled artifact storage and display gallery, according to a press release issued Wednesday.

tute of British Columbia and the first aboriginal person in the province to own and operate an architectural firm. Staff from several Sto:lo organizations collaborated with Stewart to develop the building plans. Sto: lo Community Futures took the lead in developing the project and accepted the award from the province this week. The building features a stormwater management plan, open loop geo-exchange heating and cooling system and design choices that will reduce water usage by 30 per cent. The buyilding also features many locally made and recycled materials and will likely receive LEED gold certification in the coming months. The Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce also awarded the centre with the 2009 Building Excellence Award recognizing excellence in new development, superior design and engineering. Of the $12 million price tag, $6,758,707 was paid by the Government of Canada through the Community Adjustment Fund with afurther $5,277,713 in land and cash coming from the Stó:lo Nation.

◗ On Saturday between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. the public are welcome to an open house at the building.

he City of Chilliwack will spend close to half a million dollars to expand and renovate the city’s archives. At Monday’s meeting, city council awarded the $475,462.40 archives addition and renovation project at Evergreen Hall to Gerry Enns Contracting. The addition of the archives is part of the city’s cultural centre development on the Landing site. The design plan will add 4,000 square feet to the south of the existing archives space at Evergreen Hall so that all city archives can be consolidated in one location. The addition will provide a temperature- and humiditycontrolled space for items that are currently without such a space, according to a staff report. The city budgeted $500,000 for the project and Gerry Enns was the only bid submitted at $424,520 plus taxes.

‘Chronic’ animal cruelty offenders A

Chilliwack couple has been charged with five counts of animal cruelty stemming from an SPCA raid of their Yale Road East property in April. The SPCA seized 47 birds, 22 fish, nine birds, six dogs, five horses, three cows and one cat from Peter and Camille Devries earlier this year. The SPCA alleged the 91 animals were living in “dirty and substandard conditions” on the couple’s

hobby farm. They said many of them were thin or emaciated and suffering from medical issues. Homes have now been found for all of the seized animals. “We’re pleased that charges have been approved and ideally we’d like to see a lifetime prohibition placed on these individuals,” said SPCA senior animal protection officer Eileen Drever. Marcie Moriarty, general manager of cruelty investigations for the BC SPCA, alleged that the cou-

If convicted, they could face a $10,000 fine, six months in jail and a ban on owning or caring for animals. The couple is also awaiting trial on a separate animal cruelty charge. They are slated to next appear on that charge on April 21, 2011.

Bambi, as the SPCA is calling the small dog, had nails so long she could barely walk. She is missing teeth so that her tongue constantly hangs out of her mouth and has cloudy eyes. Bambi’s hair was matted so tight to

Swift justice for Piggy Bank thief BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

he so-called Piggy Bank Burglar is back behind bars. Jeremy Harris was sentenced to three years in jail after pleading guilty on Monday to five counts of break-andenter in Chilliwack. Harris was arrested just last Thursday after trying to break into a Silver Avenue home. His footprints were matched to several other Sardis Park burglaries in which police said piggy banks were targeted, hence the nickname given to him by local residents. Harris, 35, has a long criminal record dating back to the late 1990s. Another recently arrested break-and-enter thief also admitted his guilt this week. Christopher M. Yep pleaded guilty to five charges in two separate incidents. Yep, 27, pleaded guilty to

two charges of break-andenter and two charges of theft. Yep was arrested on Sept. 15 after being linked to two break-and-enters—one on Bellevue Drive on Aug. 28, the other on Maple Ave. on Sept. 7. In each break-in, Yep entered the homes while the residents were sleeping, stole items, and left without being detected. Yep also pleaded guilty to a theft charge dating back to Dec. 15 of last year. Yep was not sentenced. His next court appearance is Nov. 16. And finally, Henry R. Houle, 62, has been charged with break-and-enter in connection with an incident last week when a neighbour spotted someone who appeared to be using a ladder to try and enter a home. Houle will appear in court on Nov. 2 to face that charge along with two other breakand-enter charges previously laid for incidents this January.

Now, as fewer and fewer veterans are able to march, May says “the general public crowds are bigger than we’ve ever seen.” May is glad to see more people taking an interest in veterans and their stories, even if he’s bashful about his own role. “It’s got to be known by the young people so they’re smarter than we were,” he says, skirting the fact that it was the previous generation that started the war, and his generation that ended it. Jill Paterson, the Memory Project’s deputy project manager, says many veterans have been eager to share their stories, often doing

◗ Opinion

Hiring is serious business

eople are the most important resource any business has. This piece was prompted by an article entitled “Have an Action Plan When Hiring” (Chilliwack Times, Oct. 19) wherein a senior public servant and an academic were quoted. I believe that Times readers would appreciate the observations of a professional who has spent his career on the front lines. I will restrict my criticism of the aforementioned article to the most flagrantly unacceptable suggestion offered by Mary Karamanos, senior vice-president with the Business Development Bank of Canada, that we (Canadians) “Look to the United States for talent.” Trust me, Canada produces some of the finest talent to be found anywhere in many fields and has a world-class postsecondary educational system. In my experience, where many businesses, big and small, fall short is that recruitment is not given its due as a potential game changer. Typically, it is relegated to a secondary function of human resources and/or it is driven by a third party (placement agency) that knows just enough about the company to write a job description and has no vested interest in issues such

ROBERT BRENTON

Be Our Guest as employee retention beyond the contractual guarantee period. Any company which is growing or anticipates growth needs to embrace the hiring process. By this I mean that recruitment needs to be an ongoing and continuously improving process in order to proactively ensure a pipeline of appropriate talent for when particular needs arise. The objective is to become an employer of choice. This is accomplished by being current and by being competitive. The recruitment function today involves more than running an ad, interviewing a respondent or two and making a job offer. Recruitment has evolved into a complex, everchanging process with a beginning, a middle and an end. Today, best practices as they pertain to recruitment encompass salary/benefits surveying, employee/management profil-

ing, internal referral programs, post-hiring aftercare, effective exit interviewing and the use of a plethora of recruitment tools that did not exist a generation ago. These resources include resume databases, job boards, social networking, open houses, career fairs, and the use of nonconventional media to name just a few. As an example, on one occasion I learned of an organization that was on shaky ground and I had a client in need of their talent. I bought up bus stop advertising across the street from the faltering organization and within a week had moved four of their employees to my client’s organization. In a sense recruitment has taken on a marketing flavour and the recruiter who recruits creatively and evangelizes his company’s brand best is likely to be the winner in attracting superior talent. ◗ Robert Brenton has been a consultant to management specializing in Human Resourcing since 1982. During that time he has successfully represented close to 1,000 people to more than 100 companies and corporations.

anada came third recently in a three-way race for two seats on the United Nations Security Council. It’s a bit of a black eye. We were due for one of those seats. It’s the first time since the United Nations came into being that Canada will have gone an entire decade without a place at that august table. For many, Canada’s failure will be seen as that: a failure. It will be seen as a devastating defeat for a country that has played a disproportionately large role on the world stage, through the UN and as an individual player in global affairs. This is the country that, through the efforts of Lester Pearson’s diplomacy and promotion of the concept of international peacekeeping, used the United Nations to dismantle the near-calamitous Suez Canal crisis in 1956. The diversion from what many feared was developing into a third world war boosted the United Nations’ international credibility by proving that such a body—and especially its Security Council—could have a real and positive impact on the management of international affairs. But 1956 was a long time ago. Canada has backed away from its peace-centred diplomacy, tied financial help to ideology that ignores the facts of human suffering and digs deeper into its tar sands to fuel global warming. Is it really any wonder that Canada could not muster the votes needed to secure that Security Council seat—votes from the nations we’ve cold-shouldered over the past few years? On the other hand, the entire United Nations organization has been losing credibility of late, thanks to indifferent attitudes like Canada’s, so it’s likely that our own country’s recent rejection will hardly be noticed over time.

Letters

Mayor wants more info before deciding Editor: It is not often I am compelled to write a letter to the editor, but it is necessary to correct inaccurate information from Mr.Wimpney’s letter that appeared in the Oct. 19 edition of the Times. Chilliwack council supports transit, but before we move forward with any particular type of regional transit, we require more information. Sustainable transit is an issue that every single city in this province is grappling with, not just Chilliwack. While a light rail system for the Valley would be wonderful, council cannot support this proposal until we know where the capital and operating funding will come from. One of the issues that causes us concern is the cost of upgrading 11 of the 15 road crossings to accommodate passengers. The city was fortunate enough to work together with Transport Canada and secure an 80 per cent grant for the rail signal upgrade at Upper Prairie Road and CN; this reduced the city portion to an almost manageable amount. Unlike the CN line, the Southern Rail line is not a federally regulated rail system, so it is not eligible for Transport Canada grants. As a result, rail crossing signal upgrades must be funded by the local community. Funding is something that should concern all taxpayers. If the light rail proposal is successful, it is you, the taxpayer, who will pay the cost of the system. There are no systems that pay for themselves with ridership alone. While the most recent report on light rail does not include projected ridership numbers, recent travel data find 87 per cent of daily trips that start in Chilliwack stay in Chilliwack, 10 per cent start in Chilliwack and end in Abbotsford and three per cent start in Chilliwack and end west of Abbotsford. At City Hall, we are very eager for the release of the results of the Fraser Valley transit study, so that we have more information about the potential use of a regional transit system. Chilliwack council would love to have an unlimited supply of funds to put towards the numerous worthy proposals and

initiatives we receive from dedicated members of our community. Unfortunately there is no money pot, so we are tasked with making the decisions we think will have the biggest and best impact for our residents with the limited amount of funds we do have. Council cannot make an informed decision without having all the information available. I like the idea of having light rail in the Valley and I have an open mind for every transit option presented to council. However, until there is more information presented about the sustainability of such a system, I’m afraid I’ll have to stay relatively silent on the matter. Sharon Gaetz Mayor

BIA doing many goods things Editor: Re: Saviour needed for downtown (Times, Oct. 19). Our local Business Improvement Association works in many different ways to improve downtown Chilliwack’s atmosphere, encourage business growth and better involve the community. The revitalization of downtown, on either side of Young Road, is a process. Consider how long it took for the old Empress hotel to be torn down. In these unpredictable economic times it is ridiculous that Mr. Anderson would expect such dramatic and expensive changes to so quickly occur. The “wasteland” he writes about includes our historic Paramount Theatre and popular restaurants like Chilies and the Duke of Dublin. I proudly live and work in

downtown Chilliwack and often walk to and from home on these streets. During Mayor Gaetz’s term as mayor I have witnessed significant changes in how safe I feel after dark in downtown. Thanks must be given to our local RCMP, Community Policing, and security as promoted by the BIA. Before calling for the resignation of the hardworking BIA leaders, who co-ordinate incredible events such as the Parade of Lights & Sound, Village Classic Car Show and Party in the Park each year, may I ask when you last attended a BIA general meeting, opened a discussion on their Facebook page, or politely called Kathy Funk to express your concerns? Enchancing downtown Chilliwack is a co-operative effort involving team players. Perhaps before complaining, you might try positively contributing? I expect you would see more amiable results. Desmond M. Devnich Chilliwack

Tougher would mean safer Editor: It is disgraceful how inept we are in effectively dealing with the crime in Chilliwack, let alone Canada. Something that greatly disturbs me is hearing of someone "already known to the police," now on the news after doing more crimes. If he is "already known" tell me why he is out on the streets again anyway. Under the guise of rehabilitation Canada gives much too lenient punishments and we are a laughing stock to the

world. Let's adopt some of Singapore's punishments. Implementing much tougher punishment right from the first offence, hiring more police, stricter judges and building more prisons would make our cities much safer. For first-time nonviolent crimes how about making a man a eunuch for molestation or rape, a bamboo caning and years in jail for thieves and drug dealers and pimps? Let the consequences be very hard. How about the death penalty for fully provable with DNA first-degree murder? Or if that is just too hard to swallow, how about at least life in prison with loss of citizenship, lots of hard work to pay back society, no social benefits, no pension, and no chance of parole ever. They are released when placed in a pine box. Yes, have compassion and visit the prisoners, but still let them receive—according to the crime—the full punishments they deserve. Kathleen McCune Chilliwack

Why not go live in Singapore? Editor: In using terms such as "sad specimens of the human race" and "human scum" Mr. Coutinho can thus justify in his mind, the statesanctioned murder (capital punishment) of Singapores citizenry that he and his fellow "police officers" facillitated. Other societal groups have faced this kind of "special treatment" and we fought wars over it. I’d rather have an army of lawyers than barbaric laws. Given how justice in this country is not applied equally, capital punishment would fall more often on the poor as it does in the USA. If Singapore is such a great place, why did he come here? Colin Walker Chilliwack

Get involved and stop crime Editor: "Chilliwack a crimeridden city," Chilliwack Times, headline Oct. 15. Is that what you want your

(grand)children to grow up with? Doesn’t that make you mad? If so, do something about it. Get involved in your community, your city, or even a public service or volunteer organization. How about joining the Chilliwack Citizens on Patrol? We are the “extra eyes and ears of the RCMP," and as such are on the lookout for the unusual or even criminal occurrences. We cannot stop all crime, but we sure can discourage some. We do not expect very much from you: just a few hours every other week or so, and some commitment to that extent. Age is not a barrier. It helps if you are young and fit, you have to be at least 19 years old, but I’m a somewhat-crippled old gal of 79, and if I can do it, you can do it. Complaining doesn’t help —getting involved does. We are always looking for dedicated volunteers to aid us in our work. No experience needed, we will provide the necessary training and equipment. See you soon. Hanny Kensington Chilliwack

Dr. Suzuki is never boring Editor: I’d like to extend my sincere thanks to Paul Henderson for the great article highlighting the work being done by Matt Hawkins and I. We had a fabulous weekend in Toronto, and our film was received very well. We are hard at work producing more excellent films about biology, nature and conservation. I would just like to clarify that Dr. David Suzuki is Canada’s leading biology expert and an absolute role model for me. I was unfortunately misquoted in Friday’s article, there is no way I would ever describe the great Dr. Suzuki as either boring or uninteresting. My thoughts are, in fact, quite the opposite. Thanks to everyone for your kind words and support for our work, and thanks again to Paul for being interested in our story! Carin Anne Bondar, PhD Chilliwack

en don’t get lost, they just take the scenic route. Or so my wife says if I have the “appearance” of not knowing where I am. To frustrate her more, I probably won’t ask for directions or consult the map under my car seat. So, I finally gave in to spousal pressure and purchased a GPS, or Global Positioning System. It’s a Magellan (or ‘Maggie’ for short because of her female voice and penchant to continually direct me as I drive). I love it. Not only do I find myself on time and where I want to be, but I look so cool with this flashy bit of technology clinging to my windshield calmly issuing driving advice. But, you may ask, what is it about ‘Maggie’ that endears this modern don’t-get-lost-but-enjoyyour-drive device to me? 1) She speaks to me. That’s right, she calmly offers me directional

Let God be your GPS advice even when I turn into the face of oncoming traffic on a oneway street. There is no panic stricken scream (which my wife is prone to do), no frantic grabbing my leg or yelling because for the umpteenth time I turned left instead of right. She just quietly reroutes me and then calmly guides me to the correct road. 2) She guides me. I need directions and Maggie is good at delivering. She knows the route I need to travel before I start my car and she plans the shortest, safest route before I even back out of my driveway. Because she knows the route I am to travel, there is a sense of safety

when I drive, even if where I am going doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. Her directions are clear, concise and convenient and protect me, well, at least when I obey them. 3) She needs a power source. Imagine my frustration (and panic) when a fuse blew and I lost power to Maggie. She turned off and was unable to function. She still hung around on my windshield and made my car look cool but she really was useless at the moment. You wanna know something? Just as much as I need ‘Maggie’ when driving, I need a GPS for life as well. How wonderful that God has provided this for me (and you too). God,

in His love for us knew that we need direction as we journey through life and so has given us the Bible, or as I now call it, a GPS or God Positioning System. My Bible functions in much the same way as the GPS in my car. It speaks to me, or rather the Holy Spirit in His calm and soft voice guides and directs me as I read it. I am glad that his voice is soft. It forces me to really listen for Him amongst all the noise and other voices in the world that threaten distraction. Not only does the Bible speak to me but it also guides me. God states that He knows the plans and purpose for which He created

me, and therefore He knows my journey in life before I even begin it. If God knows my journey, then it makes senses to listen for His directions and guidance. The Psalmist understood this clearly when wrote in Psalm 119:105 that “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.” The key is to obey those directions. Finally, the Bible, as with the GPS in my car, needs a power source. The Bible, without the power of the Holy Spirit giving it life and application, results in dead and irrelevant religion filled with suffocating and meaningless laws and traditions. It becomes just another religious book on our shelves that has no more application or help to us than a powerless GPS in the car. ◗ Evans Hundermark is a pastor with MountainView Church.

Angelo and Cheryl, owners of CMJ Fitness know first hand the difference Cops for Cancer can make in the lives of cancer patients and their families. One year ago their 11 year old son Joshua was diagnosed with cancer; since then they have been overwhelmed with support our community has given to their family. Cops for Cancer has been great at finding ways to bring happiness into their lives during this very trying time. They find activities and opportunities for these kids that put a smile on their faces. That can be quite an accomplishment at times like these. Angelo and Cheryl are also thankful for their family, friends and organizations like Cops for Cancer that they just knew they wanted to find a way to give back.

SambuGuard to the Rescue !

Leaves make great compost

very fall sees gardeners with garbage bags roaming neighbourhoods, collecting leaves under boulevard trees or picking them up readybagged from non-gardening neighbours. If they were scarce, leaves would cost big bucks because they’re rich in carbons, minerals and fibre— brought up to the surface by the long, deep roots of trees. Every autumn, when the leaves fall they nourish the top layers of soil. Leaves can be used in general compost heaps, composted separately for leaf mold or spread on garden beds as a mulch. Actually, where the leaf layer isn’t hugely thick, fallen leaves can be left on perennial beds where they protect plants against winter cold, compaction of the soil and germination of cool-season weeds. But leaves do need to be raked up from lawns since they tend to smother grass. Grass benefits from light and air during winter since it doesn’t hide underground

ANNE MARRISON

Green Thumb as many perennials do. No matter where you put them, leaves break down much faster if you rake them, then shred them by running over the pile with a lawnmower. If you plan to do this repeatedly for a fine shred, you may have to rake them between runs or use the lawnmower bag and keep rebuilding the pile. Time-short gardeners who want to add leaves to a compost bin can mow the unraked lawn, collect grass clippings and leaves together, and add them as-is to the compost. It’s not perfect— but the nitrogen in the grass and carbon in the leaves roughly balances—and the job gets done fast. Some people keep bags of raked leaves through the winter, then add one bag at a time to compost

in the spring when moist, green waste is abundant but brown carbon is hard to find. Fall or spring, leaves can be safely shredded by being dumped in a garbage pail and attacked with a weedwhacker. It only takes a few minutes for a tubful of leaves to be reduced to a few inches of shredded leaf bits. This eye-popping reduction in volume is the reason why people who want leaf mold need to gather many, many bags of leaves. Neighbours are often very co-operative—especially in jurisdictions where city governments levy a fee for collecting compostable materials. For leaf mould, gardeners really need to shred the leaves well. It’s the only way to see the approximate quantity you’ll end up with—and usually the only way to ensure the leaves will definitely be decomposed in a year. It’s well worth the effort because aside from their high nutrient level, See MARRISON, Page 14

nfortuntely, it’s time to get ready for the cold and flu season. Already it seems, somebody’s coughing, sneezing, sniffling and suffering. With the growing strength of viruses, the potential to catch whatever is going around, is sadly, almost a given.

The natural ingredients in the SambuGuard Cold Season kit help your body defend against viral invaders and each works synergistically to enhance their effectiveness.

When you do get sick, about the only thing recommended nowadays is to take some medication and hope it works. Unfortunately, the use of antibiotics is showing little promise in the battle against these nasty bugs. With any infectious disease, including the common cold, anyone with a weakened immune system is more likely to get sick and stay sick longer.

Elderberry is a very powerful herb for viral infections and boosting your immune health. Elder flower is the hottest ticket in town for sinus discomforts of all shapes and sizes. SambuGuard lozenges soothe a sore throat and echinacea is a proven cold-fighter.

leaf mold retains moisture beautifully. Some leaves need shredding simply because they’re very slow to break down. This includes waxy leaves like holly and laurel and large leaves like cottonwood, paulownia and big leaf maple. These need to be shredded even for compost unless they’re destined for a compost pile which won’t be used for two or three years.

Some gardeners claim toxins in black walnut leaves vanish after six weeks of composting. So far I’ve not tested this out. But leaves of poisonous perennials like lupins, foxgloves and daffodils are definitely safe once they’re broken down in the compost.

ENTERPRISES LTD Answer: One of the most environmentally friendly fireplaces on the market is almost any of the Valor fireplace brand. Costs are right in line with the $2,000 t0 $3,000 range. Question: What are the benefits and drawbacks to an electric fireplace? Answer: Electric fireplaces are great if a gas fireplace is not an option. One of the major drawbacks is electric fireplaces don’t throw nearly the amount of heat that a gas fireplace will. One advantage of electric is that they require no venting or gas line so they can almost go anywhere. Another drawback of electric fireplaces is if the power is out there is no heat and no fire, and the gas fireplace will run with no electricity and give an amazing amount of heat. Question: What type of fireplace do you recommend for a three- to four-bedroom, two-storey home? Answer: The best fireplace for a typical home in the Lower Mainland would be a Valor fireplace. It really doesn’t matter what model but these fireplaces come with a remote control that modulates the flame height and heat output. It also works as a thermostat and a timer. They also do not require any electrical energy. Question: What fireplace would be best for a small apartment or condo? Answer: For a small condo or apartment an electric fire-

s the nights get colder and rainstorms dampen our spirits, the urge to sit by a cosy fire can become quite compelling. Energy consultant Steve Blissett has some advice for those hoping to install a new fireplace in their homes. Question: What range of options is there for people looking to install a new fireplace? For instance, are wood fireplaces still available/recommended? Answer: Yes, there is still the option for people who are looking to burn wood to look at getting a wood insert or fireplace. Usually in the end most people make the decision to stay with the idea of an energy-efficient gas insert or fireplace. Question: Is there a type of fireplace that you prefer? Answer: My favourite kind of fireplace is a gas one that I can control the heat output while still looking great. Question: What should buyers know ahead of time, before they start looking? Answer: Buyers should always come to the showroom to look, and keep an open mind to different kinds of fireplaces. Digital cameras are great for taking a couple quick photos of the area where the homeowner is thinking of adding a fireplace and measurements of the existing fireplace or wall. Question: How much should they be prepared to spend on average for either a wood or gas fireplace? Answer: Fireplaces usually range from $2,000 to $3,000 for most and around the $5,000 range for a bigger or higher-quality fireplace, plus taxes and installation. This applies to both wood and gas. Question: What is the most environmentally friendly fireplace available on the market? And what is the cost?

Stretching and exercise tips for injury-free fall cleanup

resh, brisk air and the changing of the leaves are some of the most invigorating things about autumn. For many, this also means fall chores—raking leaves and planting your spring garden. The cool, damp weather however, can cause muscle strain and tightness as well as joint aches. Proper stretching and warm-up before you get to work in the garden can help reduce the risk of injury and stiffness. To avoid injury resulting from yard work, the Ontario Kinesiology Association (OKA) has provided some stretching and safety tips for your fall cleanup. “Outdoor chores, such as raking leaves, are so commonplace that many people often forget that they are actually exercising, at least until they get going,” said Mike Dickin, president of the Ontario Kinesiology Association. “Activities that include lifting and bending are excellent sources of natural exercise, however they can increase a person’s risk of injury. People need to remember that warming up before these types of chores is just as important as stretching before a run or cardio class, no matter how silly you may feel.” Raking leaves is considered moderate cardiovascular exercise. Without a proper warmup, or where there is a history of injury, this activity can put one at risk for back strain and spinal injury resulting from too much twisting, bending and improper lifting (even if the leaves are light). Stretching larger muscles in the back, arms and legs can help reduce this risk of injury and the stiffness you can experience the morning after. When it comes to gardening, the most common injuries are to the back and knees. As

with raking, some simples stretches can help prevent and relieve aches and pains. Stretches ◗ Back stretch: Lie on your back and pull your knees to your chest by wrapping your arms around them. Hold for 15 seconds. ◗ Standing quad stretch: While holding something for support, hold your ankle in one hand with your knee pointing vertically toward the ground. Hold for 15 seconds. Avoid arching your back. Switch sides and repeat. ◗ Standing hamstring stretch (toe touches): Standing straight legged, bend forward at the waist as far as you can towards your toes. Hold for 15 seconds. ◗ Shoulder stretch: Extend your right arm across your chest. Place your left hand on your right elbow to support your arm. Hold for 15 seconds. Repeat on left side. Yard work safety tips ◗ Choose the right tools: To increase ease and comfort try an ergonomic rake. Ergonomic rakes have wider, curved handles. This will help improve posture and reduce strained muscles due to excessive bending and twisting. ◗ Watch your posture: If using a rake or garden hoe, stand straight and relax your knees. Don’t let your upper body do all the work. Step into raking or gardening with your whole body to avoid twisting and back strain. ◗ Proper lifting: When planting or picking up gathered leaves, bend at the knees and keep your back straight. Use your wheelbarrow to transport heavy items such as soil or garden bags.

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

All about pumpkins P

umpkins are a type of gourd that grows on just about every continent (Antarctica not included). The majority of pumpkins are bought and sold around Halloween, commonly to convert to jack-olanterns. However, pumpkins can be used as a delicious food source. Here is some other interesting information about pumpkins: • Pumpkins are believed to have originated in North America. Seeds from pumpkins dating back to 7000 BC have been found in Mexico. The name “pumpkin” evolved originally from the Greek word “pepon,” for large melon. The French called them “pompon,” and the English eventually changed the word to “pumpion.” • There are dozens of varieties of pumpkins and they come in many colors, including white, besides the familiar orange. Most pumpkins can be harvested for carving. However, certain varieties are better for cooking. These include the Buckskin, Chelsey, Dickinson Field, and Kentucky Field. • It is possible for the home gardener to grow pumpkins. It may take a few tries, but the results can be worth it if pumpkins eventually form. Keep in mind that although pumpkin plants will produce several flowers throughout the life of the plant, a person can expect only one to two actual pumpkins per vine. Pumpkin plants naturally produce separate male and female flowers on the same plant for pollination. • Pumpkin plants should be watered, but only the roots, in the early morning or during the day for good health. Wet leaves can lead to mildew. Later-day watering may result in powdery mildew, a blight that can form and spread quickly. Bugs are another problem that may destroy a pumpkin plant.

File/TIMES

It’s the season for visiting the pumpkin patch and picking out a winner.

The cucumber beetle is a carrier of plant disease. • Of course, if growing pumpkins seems too much work, a trip to a local pumpkin patch is a good excursion for families. Pumpkins ripen at the end of summer into early fall. However, it could be best to wait until later in the season to pick a pumpkin because a picked or carved pumpkin won’t last forever. And most people will want to be sure their pumpkin is on proud display for Halloween.

Sports Jr. Bantam Blue remain perfect as they crush Meadow Ridge Knights The Junior Bantam Chilliwack Blue Giants continued their unbeaten season on Saturday with a 56-6 win over the Meadow Ridge Knights. The first-place Giants had scoring contributions from several players on offence. Running back Tristan Davis carried the ball nine times for 132 yards and three touchdowns while Mario “McLovin” Brizuela had two TDs. Both Emerson Smith and quarterback Hunter Larocque also found the end zone for the Giants. Receiver Kyle Helsloot had a 32-yard reception in the second quarter to put the Giants in field-goal range. Kicker Tyler Sprott was successful on all seven converts attempted. Up front, Darwin Biamonte and AJ Sagrott led the offensive lines, opening up huge holes for the Giants 535 yards of offence. Linebackers Cole Wood and Cody Morgentaler led the way on defence while Chris Derksen and Noah Braun had outstanding games on the defensive line. The Giants defence did not allow a single Meadow Ridge first down until late in the fourth quarter. Ball hawk Sam Audet had his fifth interception of the year. With Giants teams sitting first and second in league standings, Mike Derkson said Chilliwack puts lie to the notion that you can’t split the talent and have competitive teams. “As a result of our growth as an association, we are fielding two competitive teams in most divisions while much larger communities like Abbotsford and Langley have only one team,” said Derkson

Minor football Fast start to season fading as Peewee Blue suffer third straight loss The Peewee Blue Giants suffered their third straight defeat and, after starting the season 4-0, now stand in third place in the league. The Giants lost 12-0 to the first-place Meadow Ridge Knights. The Giants played a much better game than during last week’s 36-0 drubbing at the hands of the Abbotsford Falcons. Linebacker Wyatt Uzick had a team-leading 13 tackles in the loss while Spencer Breslin and Emilio Pineda were also outstanding on defence. Jake Troyan had most of the Giants carries on offence and gained consistent yards through a tough Knights defence. In the end it was fumbles and penalties that stalled most of the Giants offensive drives. The Knights connected on two long passes during the game, which was the difference on the scoreboard. Otherwise the Giants defence was solid against the run, surrendering only one first down. Colin Campbell played a great game subbing in on defensive line, with two tackles and a partial sack. Peewee Red blank Mission Niners as defence puts up impenetrable shield The Chilliwack Giants Peewee Red team played their best game of the season so far, beating the Mission Niners 28–0 on Saturday. Strong play by the entire defence was the key.

GOLF STORET

Defensive ends Erik VanDerWerff, Warren Rogers and Ethan Peters led the way and prevented Mission from getting any runs outside. Brodie Porter and Hayden Oraschuk played disciplined corner positions and made drive stopping tackles. Dustin Wutzke and Kyle Pascoe did a great job of reading and reacting to the Mission offence and helped set up great field position for the offence. Key blocks by Jayden Mourato opened big gains by the running backs and touchdowns were scored by Ayden Harvey, Brody Porter, Haden Oraschuk and Kobe Pool. Gabriel Olivares kicked two converts.

Atom Blue Giants prevail over cross-town rival Red squad Andrew Locke ran for 82 yards and two touchdowns, added five solo tackles and assisted on nine more takedowns for the Chilliwack Atom Blue Giants as the Blues shut out their crosstown Red Giants rivals Saturday at Townsend Field. Jaylen Edwards added 79 rushing yards and a touchdown of his own, along with 41 return yards, for the Blues. Meanwhile, Blue quarterback Brandt Davis passed for 34 yards, receiving plenty of time to pass from a strong offensive line led by centre Liam Dallas. Mack Barton-Paquette kicked a twopoint convert and added 61 yards on kickoffs to round out the Blue’s offence. On defence, Justin Crooks supplied four tackles, four assisted tackles, and a sack for the Blues. Colton Holt added two sacks of his own, while Michael Martin also dropped the opposing quarterback in the backfield. The win was a big one for the Blues, who now sit at 2-5.

like father

This is the second of a two-part series. Local freestyle bicyclist Sam Dueck is aiming for glory in a high-risk, high-reward sport. The sky is the limit for Sam, but his father Gord knows that nothing is guaranteed in an extreme sport.

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

n a warm September afternoon, Gord Dueck stands off to the side of the skate park as his 18-year-old son Sam dips, dives and twirls his Norco mountain bike around the concrete playground. Sam’s best trick is something called a “flipwhip,” which combines your standard backflip with a complete 360-degree rotation of the bike’s back wheel around the handlebars. Most parents would discourage such defiance of the laws of gravity, but then Gord Dueck is not your average parent. Gord used to pull similar stunts on his skis. Now, asked about watching his son goof on his bike, he says, “I love it. It’s great. . . . To see him doing the same things in a different sport is very cool.” But Gord also knows what he’s talking

about when he says extreme sports are “high risk, high reward.” His story starts as an eight-year-old kid in Prince George playing in his neighbour’s garage. Spotting a pair of strange planks, he asked the neighbour “what are those.” “Those are skis,” the neighbour’s dad. “What are those for?” pressed young Gord. “You strap those on your feet and you slide down the mountain.” “No way!” enthused Gord. That moment kick-started a love of skiing that, more than 40 years later, is still going strong. Seven years after he saw that pair of skis, Gord hit a jump, leaned back, and completed his first backflip. Like his future son, Gord had seen pictures of insane tricks and learned how to duplicate them through what he calls, with a smile, “trial and error.” In the summer, he and his friends would play around on trampolines, and then take their shenanigans to the local ski hills once the snow started flying. “It’s a natural progression as a kid, to push the limits, right?” This still being the early days of freestyle See FATHER, Page 26

FATHER, from page 24 skiing, ski operators were less than receptive to the teenagers’ antics. “We got kicked off of so many ski hills because we wanted to do tricks,” he remembers. The acceptance did come, however. Gord began getting deals from local ski shops and eventually made the B.C. freestyle ski team, which crucially allowed him to ski at any hill in B.C. or Alberta. Beginning in high school, he also began competing on the regional freestyle ski circuit in both moguls and aerials. The sport was growing but it was still tiny. “It was a lot of fun, but definitely no money in it, or no real future unless you were the absolute best.” But Gord and his ski bum friends were young, carefree and ambitious. The trampolines were a thing of the past, replaced now by a massive ramp built at an area lake. Single backflips were out, replaced—in practice at least—by double flips. Multiple flips, however, were and still are banned in mogul competitions. That led to trouble for Gord when, after nailing double and triple flips in practice, he entered a jump with two much speed during a moguls competition. “When we’d do singles we were going way higher than anybody else, because we were used to doing the doubles, and I over-rotated,” he remembers, his voice suddenly turning more serious. “I hyper-extended my spine forward,” he says, matter-of-factly, about his broken back. “I curled the wrong way, crushed some vertebrae.” His wife, Leslie, says, “if it would have been any higher or lower he would have

Broke back been paralyzed,” but Gord is wary about making such pronouncements. Suffice it to say, it hurt a lot. It didn’t end his career, though, Six months after the accident, he was back riding dirtbikes, and the next winter he says “I was skiing again like nothing happened.” But something else was happening; more and more skiers were flying further and further and doing more extreme stunts. The sport was growing at a rapid pace and, as good as Gord was— he made it to the Canadian National Championships a few years after his accident— he realized that he would never be able to be the best. Today, he still skis and is excited to watch his son follow in his extreme tracks. But while he knows the risks, he says there is a reason his son has yet to suffer a serious injury. “I’ve seen him err on the side of caution more than the other way. I haven’t seem him go for a trick where I go ‘what are you doing, dude? Don’t do that!’” There is, indeed, a Darwinian aspect to success in extreme sports. When an overambitious or improperly executed trick can put the perpetrator in a hospital for six months, those like Sam who push—but don’t exceed—their limits are the ones who are sometimes able to make a career from inhuman flight. “The ones that are at this level are at this level because they’ve made it through that learning curve,” says Gord. “A lot of other riders have fallen by the wayside. I guess I was one of those skiers. I never made it to that level.” Now, he hopes his son does.

News GROWING, from page 1 south and east of the pond. Certain neighbourhoods were somehow able to avoid drug houses. The large rectangle bordered by Evans and Vedder road in the west and east, Stevenson Road in the south and the highway in the north shows just one busted grow op. And there are other pockets, most notably on Fairfield Island and in some residential areas north of the highway, that have largely escaped the signs of police activity now common on Markel Drive. There, one resident who moved to the road five years ago told the Times that she felt safe on her road, although the repeat visits by police were surprising, to say the least. One day last fall, the resident looked out her window to see at least three RCMP cars and a large van swarming the road and fixating on a house just two doors down from her.

Repeat visits “I’m like holy crap, as all of this is going on’,” said the resident, who didn’t want to be named. She knew the resident, a local mixedmartial arts fighter who she called “Mike” and and said he seemed like a nice enough guy. “Maybe if he was driving a motorcycle with cut offs on, you would have thought it.” Six months later, the home was still vacant, the owners nowhere to be seen. That isn’t always the case. In several instances, home owners have been charged and convicted with operating grow operations in their own houses. While these owners would seem to be prime targets for a $10,000 fine provided for in the city’s anti-grow op bylaw, Chilliwack officials have yet to bring out its biggest stick. Find out why in the next Times.

SURVEY, from page 1 like crime and graffiti and vandalism,” she said. “We not only see these things as fun and great but [they also provide] prevention for problems in the the future.” Other findings noted by Watson included a decline in the perception of the community as rural as opposed to urban, from 65 per cent in 2004 to 51 per cent in 2009. Gaetz said this can be a challenge and that residents need to be proud of our agricultural past and present. “There can be a misconception that Chilliwack is not a rural community if you are just doing all of your business in the downtown,” she said. “But we have almost 900 farms.” The Quality of Life survey data comes from 670 questionnaires completed last fall from a random sample of 2,500 Chilliwack households. The CSRPC who initiated the survey

is a not-for-profit organization made up of a partnership between the University of the Fraser Valley, the city, Chilliwack Community Services, Fraser Health and the United Way of the Fraser Valley. The purpose of the survey is to help the city plan and take note of what is working and what needs work, according to Gaetz. While satisfaction with recreational facilities jumped out to Gaetz as a highlight, just 23 per cent indicated satisfaction with transit, a drop from 30 per cent in 2004. In coming issues, the Times will take a closer look at various aspects of the 2009 Quality of Life survey including: transit, crime, housing affordability, community participation, and the rural/urban question.

Joan Hogan and Brad Whittaker perform a scene in the Chilliwack Players Guild’s latest production, Noises Off!

classic

Farce First play for Players Guild at new cultural centre

he Chilliwack Players Guild premieres its first show in the new Chilliwack Cultural Centre with the hysterical farce Noises Off! In Noises Off!, billed as one of the funniest plays of the 20th century, confusion reigns as a hapless acting troupe proves that whatever can go wrong— onstage or off—will. Produced by Debra Archer, this backstage farce includes a show within a show as Noises Off!’s curtain rises on the dress rehearsal for Nothing On, a classic British farce, complete with slamming doors, sexual dalliances and errant plates of sardines. With one problem: the

cast isn’t quite ready to open the next day. As we watch the director struggle to pull everything together, we are introduced to the quirky actors and the stressed-out stage crew. Backstage romance plus onstage confusion add up to hilarity in the first act and keeps us wondering if they’ll ever pull it off. The set flips around for act two, when we get a peek back stage at the cast and crew one month later. By this time, romances have gone sour, and jealousy is driving some of the cast members over the edge. All this drama behind the scenes leads to some very interesting

results onstage. Act three has the set flip once more, as we see the play near its closing night. Tensions have increased over time, and mayhem ensues. The missed entrances, wandering props and physical comedy will have you rolling in the aisles with laughter, all the way to the raucous conclusion. All this activity onstage can only be accomplished through the efforts of a very talented and committed cast and crew. “The set for Noises Off! is a challenge,” See NOISES, Page 32

Acting Intensive Workshop

he Harrison Festival Society presents the retur n of Canada’s comic genius Lorne Elliott on Oct. 22 at 8 p.m. in the Forum at the Harrison Hot Springs Resort and Spa. Join Elliott for an evening of comedy and music, totally original, entertaining, uplifting and foolish enough to make everybody laugh. E l l i o t t ’s c o n c e r t performance is a selection of his current monologues and songs dealing with life experience. His presentation is delightfully foolish, witty and thought-provoking. Combining dry humour with musical parodies and skits, Elliott is a shrewd observer of the human animal. Often selfdeprecating, always silly and never profane, Elliott’s funny is family-friendly. Elliott, a proud Canadian, has performed from Ne w f o u n d l a n d t o Ne w York City, from Los Angeles to Australia and points in between. He star ted performing in 1974 as a folk musician in East Coast Canada. At the same time he kept writing fiction as well as songs, monologues and oneliners. Along with his unique and wacky performance style, it is the timelessness of his material, joined with keen observations of today’s trends

Funnyman Lorne Elliott brings his zany act to Harrison Hot Springs Oct. 22. that make Elliott’s work so special. Elliott has performed his one-man show in theatres, universities and clubs. He opened concerts for Rodney Dangerfield in New York City and Jay Leno in Montreal. He has made regular appearances at the Montreal Just For Laughs Festival since it started in 1986: each time his segments were selected for TV Specials, thanks to their universal quality. For 11 seasons Elliott’s weekly Radio Comedy Series “Madly Off In All Directions” ran on CBC.

Elliott has performed two sold-out shows in Harrison in the past and this show should be just as popular. The society’s regular venue, t h e Ha r r i s o n Me m o r i a l Hall, is undergoing some renovations this Fall so will be unavailable. Fortunately the Harrison Hot Springs Resort & Spa has generously invited us to present these two show within the Resort. ◗ Ti c k e t s a r e $ 2 0 a n d will go fast, so check out the website at www. harrisonfestival.com or call the Harrison Festival Society office at 604-796-3664.

TAMS, Klaas

March 18, 1932 ~ October 16, 2010 Psalm 32. Born in Stadskanaal, The Netherlands, on March 18, 1932. Dad was promoted to glory at Chilliwack General Hospital on Saturday, October 16, 2010.

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Lillian Christmas, October 12, 2010, at the age of 92. Lillian was predeased by her husband, Sidney Christmas, December 28, 2005 and is survived by her 3 children, Wayne (Sheila), Barb (Mike) Dickey and Debbie (Laurence) Craig. Lillian was born January 28, 1918, to William and Vercie Owens in North Vancouver, B.C. She will also be missed by her 7 grandchildren, Andrea, Kelli, Kristi, Jeff (Brandy), Scott (Crystal),Tobyn (Katrina), Daphne (Cory) and 3 great grandchildren. Lillian enjoyed a happy life raising her family in Lindell Beach, B.C., camping and going on various business trips with her husband who was employed with York Farms. Lillian was always very proud of working for the Royal Bank in her younger years and in her later years volunteering with Chilliwack Community Services. She very seldom missed her weekly bowling games which she enjoyed up until her late 80’s. The family is very grateful to the staff at Cascade Manor and Lodge for their excellent care of mom over the past few years. A graveside service will be held at Chilliwack Cemeteries, Hillcrest Drive, Chilliwack, Saturday, October 23rd, 2010 at 1:00 pm. Flowers gratefully declined.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: A month of mystery, of psychological, financial and sexual depths awaits you. You might be “tied to” another’s finances, might invest, or take on a mortgage or other large debt. The end result will be a change in your lifestyle. This change might occur through other avenues also: health adjustments, sexual involvements (or pregnancy) etc. It’s a time of commitment and consequence. It’s also, to some degree, a time of karma – I hope you’ve been good! Research, intuition and subconscious promptings aid you. Chase money, shop early Sunday. Thursday to Saturday are sexy, romantic! Taurus April 20-May 20: The weeks ahead feature relationships – of all stripes, from marriage and business partnerships, to agreements, contracts, negotiations, dealings with the public, and the bevy of new relationships that relocation would entail. You are no longer (as in recent weeks) meeting friction and challenge from others. Now forward (to January) most dealings and links become unusually affectionate and gracious. Everyone wants to please – you included! It’s likely that a former bond, an “ex” or a former opportunity (relocation, business, public dealings, etc.) will loom large. Talk it up, Thursday. Gemini May 21-June 20: The next few weeks bring drudgery, chores, health concerns, machinery repairs/purchases and increased dependents’ needs. All these detracted from the pleasures of the last few weeks. So now the cosmos balances: during this “drudgery month” your chores will tend to be light and enjoyable, co-workers will be affectionate (or at least nice), dependents reward you and your health will improve...unless you have a sugar-related problem – e.g., diabetes. (If so, be vigilant through January.) Relationships grow fiery yet hopeful. Love could arise from an argument (and vice versa).

Cancer June 21-July 22: The month ahead features romance, pleasure, speculation, creativity, beauty and charming kids. You’ll ride a winning streak! These enjoyable matters were sprinkled through September and October, but now they flower more fully. A contentious, intense tone yields to a softer, affectionate “dalliance” atmosphere. An old flame might appear, if he/she has not already done so in the last two weeks. Sunday’s for fun, social delights. Retreat to rest, plan Monday/Tuesday. Your energy, magnetism and effectiveness soar Wednesday p.m. to Friday – go out, NOT within! Money caution Saturday. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The weeks ahead revolve around home, kids, property, security, soul, nutrition and Mother Nature. The friction that sandpapered these areas in recent weeks will fade – for two years. Now to January, affection fills your home. You’ll be charmed and charming! It’s a splendid time to decorate, vacation, take the kids to the pumpkin patch, etc. If you’re single, a romantic streak begins to wind through your days. If married, the boudoir brightens. If parenting, be gentle – you might push sports, adventure, too hard. Be ambitious Sunday. Happiness, hopes, plans and popularity Monday/ Tuesday! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Communications, paperwork, details, errands, short trips, siblings and casual acquaintances fill the weeks ahead. Much of this continues September/October’s trends, but in bigger, luckier ways. The focus of communications changes from sex, finances, mutual property, big changes, power plays, secrets, to something lighter, more gracious: affection/sensuality, earnings instead of assets, compromise instead of power plays, etc. Less is at stake, and that buoys your heart! Still, you’ll be short-tempered on the home front to early December: make peace! Social joys Wednesday-Friday!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Chase money during the weeks ahead. Buy/sell, cultivate new clients, seek a pay raise, etc. Also focus on, and complete, major tasks or health ﬁxes. Putting them off would interfere with the lucky opportunities and relationship potentials of 2011. To late January, your work scene features intensity, longer hours and creativity – it’s one of the more interesting things in your life, until 2011.“Heavy” money issues enter Sunday (mortgage, investment, etc.) – be calm, even passive. Wisdom, gentle love early week. Ambitious wishes furthered Thursday/Friday, not before. A happy weekend! Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Weariness ends – your energy, charisma and effectiveness rise – especially in money areas. For the next six weeks, increased money will come from work or health events, perhaps from overtime hours, sales. Though more money comes, strictly beware a simultaneous, unconscious need to overspend. You could purchase machinery or repairs – haggle, go slow, don’t “spend automatically.” A relationship puzzles you Sunday (perhaps because it’s going to end soon). Mysteries, hidden “treasure,” sexual lures ﬁll Monday/Tuesday. Sweet, gentle love Wednesday-Friday. Be ambitious Saturday. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Rest through late November. Contemplate, plan, be charitable and spiritual, connect with institutions, government agencies. All these proceed splendidly, but other, more hectic pursuits meet headwinds, mainly because your energy and charisma are low. People don’t want to follow your lead right now. This could be a problem, because you’re feeling more determined, assertive and impatient than usual. Dicey combination! Turn that drive into creative pursuits. Indulge yourself with a little pleasure to defuse your ferocity. Valuable secrets surface Wednesday-Friday – pounce Thursday p.m.!

C L ASS I F I E D

Oct. 24 - Oct. 30 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: A month of happiness stretches before you! Your popularity will rise. Social delights, optimism, bright future plans and group activities await. A light ﬂirtation could occur – it could be more than that if you meet in a group. Sunday accents romance.Tackle chores Monday to Wednesday morning. Relationships loom large Wednesday noon to Friday eve. There’s a disappointment or obstacle here Thursday morning, but otherwise these few days offer success in negotiations, agreements, love, partnerships, meeting or serving the public. Be open, other-oriented and eager! Mysteries, Saturday. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The weeks ahead luckily feature ambition, career, prestige relationships and your reputation. Climb the ladder, boost your position in the world! Bosses, parents and higher-ups will (by Thursday onward) drop the impatience and temperament of the last two months.They will strongly favour you now into next January: you’ll be surprised at how graciously you and your proposals are received. Travel and socializing issue a siren song for six weeks – enjoy, but don’t be overly distracted. Romance, creative urges and pleasure call you Monday/Tuesday. Tackle work after Thursday morning, not before. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Understanding replaces mystery, light replaces dark, a philosophical attitude supplants lust.You grow more calm and compassionate. You see your future more clearly, making this and the next few weeks a splendid time to make life-affecting decisions. You might wed, or meet an important love, in the few months ahead. Travel, read, communicate Sunday. Be near home or in contact with family – or pursue security, property goals – Monday/Tuesday. Romance, a creative surge or speculative urge comes Wednesday to Friday – it’s a trap to Thursday morning, succeeds after. Chores Saturday! timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
