RCMP blameless in Knipstrom death BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

Justified in using Taser, baton & pepper spray

still-unreleased report into the 2007 death of Robert Knipstrom in police custody says the Mounties were not to blame for the Chilliwack man’s death, according to a report by the Canadian Press. The report by the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP (CPC) was completed more

than a year ago but has still not been released because the Mounties have not yet commented on its findings. But the Canadian Press obtained the interim report through an Access to Information request. The document was not available to the Times at press time. Knipstrom died five days after

being Tasered, hit by a baton and pepper-sprayed at an Airport Road business. According to the Canadian Press, the report says that Mounties were justified in using such force to detain Knipstrom, who a witness said was behaving erratically and threatening to fight an officer. Knipstrom was taken to hospi-

tal after being arrested, but lost consciousness. He never woke up again. The report does state that an initial RCMP investigation to the incident included several problems, including a constable involved in the arrest interviewing the two main civilian witnesses, which created a conflict of interest. Since the

report’s release the Mounties have stopped investigating themselves in such cases. Nevertheless, the report stated that there was no evidence that the officers involved should have been prosecuted, according to the Canadian Press. Officials with the CPC cannot comment on the report until it is officially released. But they have See KNIPSTROM, Page 7

Regional directors stung by decision

Robertson elementary Grade 1 students Jenna Cleaver and James Laffin “drop, cover and hold on” during the Great B.C. ShakeOut earthquake drill held all over the province at 10 a.m. Wednesday.

irectors of the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) electoral areas feel they are undervalued and are disappointed in the City of Abbotsford’s decision to attempt to extract itself from the organization. David Lamson, director of Area E which includes Cultus Lake and the Chillwack River Valley, noted outdoor tourism in rural areas of the district is a huge economic boon to surrounding cities. “The value of electoral areas to cities has been completely ignored,” Lamson said. “Cultus Lake gets over three million visitors a year. Where do those tourists stay? In hotels in Abbotsford and Chilliwack, and that’s where they buy all their stuff.” Additionally, residents in the electoral areas travel to urban centres to purchase all their goods and services.

Tried to abduct 13-year-old girl

Brieﬂy Randy White pays a visit Former federal Conservative MP Randy White makes a stop in Chilliwack on Friday, Jan. 28 as part of a tour of the Fraser Valley. White will be speaking about why he is a B.C. Conservative. According to Chilliwack B.C. Conservative party candidate Ben Besler, White believes: “Today in B.C. the cost of government services has become the cost of serving government.” White is speaking at the Chilliwack Lions Club, Jan. 28 at 7 p.m., 47130 Hope River Rd. There will be a barbecue by donation.

Uzi, ammo, drugs and cash found in bust BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

ang suppression officers from Abbotsford raided a Promontory home Tuesday afternoon, seizing an array of guns and drugs including an uzi submachine gun and nearly a pound of cocaine. A total of seven guns, including the Uzi, were found at the Brewster Place house along with 2,400 rounds of ammunition, an extendable metal baton, high-capacity magazines. Oxycodone, ecstasy, heroin and thousands of dollars of cash were also seized. The home was vacant when police stormed it, but a 32-year-old man

associated with the house was stopped driving in the area. Police searched his vehicle and found nearly a pound of methamphetamine in the car. The man, who is known to police, is facing several weapons and gang charges. The Abbotsford Police Department led the raid because its gang suppression unit had collected information that suggested the house “was supplying drug lines in Abbotsford,” according to APD spokesperson Const. Ian MacDonald. He say the home was connected with the Duhre brothers, who helm a new gang that Abbotsford cops say has taken over much of the drug trade

from the notorious Bacon brothers. MacDonald said police believe the home was not involved in the production of the drugs. Instead, it’s believed to have been a distribution centre, at which larger quantities of drugs were broken down into smaller shipments destined for lower-level outlets. MacDonald said those associated with the house are likely fairly high up in the gang hierarchy. “We’re not dealing with street-level folks and to attest to that, look at how they arm themselves,” he said, “2,400 rounds is a lot.

Shinder Kirk told the Times that gangs like the one headed by the Duhre brothers don’t often take into account jurisdictional boundaries when running their dealings. “We know this group knows no boundaries,” said Kirk. “Is Chilliwack going to remain somehow immune from either their influence or from any other peripheral figures?

Policy change allows school board to call it in

BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

chool board trustees who can’t make it to meetings can now be beamed in electronically to cast ballots and debate motions thanks to a new policy adopted at a board of education meeting Tuesday. The policy allows for electronic participation and voting by absent trustees, but some board members are worried about the message it sends. “I don’t think any of us want to give the impression that this is an option that we can just use whenever we please,” said trustee Heather Maahs. She and trustees Silvia Dyck and Martha Wiens favoured changing the policy so it would apply only to extenuating circumstances. “Other than that I sometimes wonder what is it that we’re trying to accommodate when we’re allowing electronic participation,” said Dyck. “As the policy reads now,” said Wiens, “it would make it very easy just to stay home.” Trustee John-Henry Harter,

however, expressed concern that some of his fellow trustees were devaluing participation via phone and computer unfairly, especially in an age when telecommuting has become commonplace. “What’s wrong with someone participating electronically?” he asked. “I don’t quite understand the privileging of my physical presence here.” But that statement drew a loud whisper from the public gallery: “Bullshit. I’m a taxpayer. I’m paying you to be here.” Harter was undeterred. “Particularly from the perspective of taxpayers, don’t they want us all to participate?” he asked. “Or if we can’t physically be here, is it better that we don’t participate?” His point was reiterated by local CUPE president Rod Isaac, who weighed in on the issue during the public participation segment of the meeting. “Participation is participation,” he said. “I think there may have been occasions in the past where excluding trustees from electronic participation may have actually limited debate and

open discussion.” The School Act allows for electronic participation and voting by trustees but leaves it up to individual boards to develop specific policies. The Chilliwack board passed a motion at its Dec. 7 meeting that enabled trustee Darlene Wahlstrom to participate in board elections during a vacation to Mexico, and according to board chair Doug McKay, the new policy just saves the board having to pass a motion every time there is a similar situation. While McKay voted in favour of the policy, he was careful to point out that he has already paid for a flight back from Arizona (where he spends a part of every winter) so as not to miss any public meetings. “I’m not going to need to participate from Arizona by electronic communication because I take my job very seriously,” he said. Before the vote, some concerns were raised about whether or not the board had the technological capacity to accommodate more than one absent trustee, but superintendent Corrine McCabe

TheYear of the Rabbit

District will take a dip into surplus

John-Henry Harter said the school board office could set up electronic participation for all seven trustees at once if the need ever arose. According to the new policy, trustees may participate “by telephone or other means of communication if all Trustees and other persons participating in or attending the meeting are able to communicate with each other.” The absent trustee can vote verbally or via electronic transmission, and in the case of a secret ballot, they will send a private communication directly to the secretary treasurer. The motion to adopt the policy passed 4-3 with trustees Louise Piper, Harter, McKay and Wahlstrom voting for it and trustees Maahs, Dyck and Wiens voting against.

he Chilliwack school district will dip into its accumulated surplus to the tune of almost $1.4 million this year despite taking in over $2 million more in revenue than projected. The unexpected increase in funds was offset by $3.5 million in extra expenses, according to the amended 2010-2011 budget presented to trustees at a Chilliwack board of education meeting Tuesday. Two costs that are up significantly in the amended budget are salary and benefits ($1.9 million more than projected) and services and supplies ($1.6 million more than projected). Just over $1 million of the district’s increase in revenue was money the education ministry redistributed over the province after some districts overestimated their enrolments this year. Another $500,000 came in the form of an increase in the district’s educator salary adjustment grant, which balances the district’s average teacher salary with the provincial average from year to year. With $1.4 million appropriated to cover this year’s operating deficit, the district’s accumulated surplus now sits at $2.5 million. ◗ For more info about the 2010-2011 amended budget or to find out how you can have input into budget planning for the 2011-2012 school year, visit www.sd33.bc.ca.

City feeling less than charitable when it comes to panhandlers Gaetz says some can even make $60 an hour

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

f Chilliwack residents are feeling sympathetic towards people begging for spare change, city hall and the local RCMP would prefer money was given to local charities. Council made several amendments at the Jan. 24 meeting to the city’s highway and traffic bylaw, which included prohibitions against panhandling on or near roadways in ways that interfere with traffic. “The RCMP already have the tools

to be able to kick somebody off of an intersection or stop them from blocking traffic under their provisions,” Mayor Sharon Gaetz told the Times. “This enables the city to bring some control to panhandling.” The new additions to the bylaw passed without discussion at the meeting and read: “[N]o person shall: engage in panhandling: on any highway which causes delay in the passage of traffic; which interferes with safe movement of traffic; which causes any obstruction; or risks harm to the panhandler themselves.” The recommendation to make changes came out of the city’s Public Safety Advisory Committee and Gaetz said the issue really is about public safety. She said the move was in response to three particular “trouble areas,” which include Luckakuck and Vedder,

Southgate Plaza and the end of the eastbound off-ramp of Highway 1 at Vedder/Yale. Gaetz also said police have told the city that some panhandlers make $60 per hour and that some aren’t truthful about their predicaments. “Not all of them are needy and we would way rather people give to the Salvation Army or Community Services,” she said. “Some of these people are just scammers.” Dunlop said she wasn’t sure about the $60 an hour number, but said that in larger centres such as Vancouver panhandlers can make “hundreds an hour.” Dunlop said the RCMP supports the city’s move and would also prefer that residents donate to registered charities such as the Salvation Army or Ruth & Naomi’s rather than donate to panhandlers.

Pet Dentistry. The idea still seems foreign to a lot of pet owners.

Some consider it superﬂuous and over-indulgent. As a veterinarian I disagree. I would like pet owners to understand the beneﬁts of taking care of their pet’s teeth. It is not simply a matter of aesthetics; it involves disease prevention, animal welfare and responsible pet ownership. If we could prevent dental disease by way of tartar control like we prevent infectious diseases by way of vaccines, pets would live longer and happier lives. That is a fact. Here are a few more facts to consider while brushing your teeth: More 8 out of 10 dogs and 7 out of 10 cats show signs of poor dental disease by the age of three. Dental problems in pets – as in people – can lead to pain, tooth loss, and periodontal disease Pets’ oral disease invariably progresses with time, as does people’s, and can result in damage to internal organs, including the heart, liver and kidneys. A proper dental care routine can add 3-5 years to your pet’s life. What can you do? 1. Brush your pet’s teeth daily. (really, it only takes a few minutes!) 2. Have your pet’s teeth scaled and polished by a veterinarian. This will remove all built up plaque and tartar and give the Dr. a chance to check for broken or loose teeth. 3. Feed your pet a specially formulated dental diet from your veterinarian. These diets are formulated in a unique shape to help scrape the teeth as they are eaten. As well, the outside of the kibble is coated with a special enzyme which helps to clean the teeth. FEBRUARY IS DENTAL HEALTH MONTH- CALL US FOR DETAILS.

Wise-quacking man a concern after second daycare incident BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

he proprietor of a Reece Avenue daycare is warning other childcare facilities to keep their doors locked after a strange encounter Tuesday. Natasha Lundgren of Playing to Learn daycare says a man came into the daycare Tuesday afternoon at a time parents normally pick up their children and asked to do a “Donald Duck voice” for the children. That was strange enough, but what worries Lundgren is the fact that the

man left as soon as he saw multiple adults were present. “For this to happen is kind of unnerving,” she said. “For an older man in his late ’50s to come into a daycare [where he] doesn’t know anyone is just disconcerting. I don’t know if there was something wrong or if he had intentions—he seemed harmless.” Lundgren said her daycare is keeping the doors locked at all times, except for peak drop-off and pick-up times. Previously the doors had been locked at nap time. The Donald Duck-speaking man has

been seen in the area before. In December, he walked up to A is for Apple daycare, which is located in McCammon elementary school just a couple doors down from Playing to Learn, and asked to do a voice. He was sternly rebuffed by a worker, but he didn’t seem dangerous and the staff thought nothing of the incident. Now, with two such events reported, both childcare facilities have filed reports with the RCMP, which is investigating. “I want to let other daycares know to keep your doors locked,” said Lundgren.

Winning crime fight BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

hilliwack’s top cop says that the RCMP’s crime reduction strategy is living up to its name. Supt. Keith Robinson told members of the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce Thursday that crime has decreased considerably since the strategy was implemented in 2008 and residents are taking notice. He pointed to the city’s Quality of Life survey that showed less people thought crime was rising than in a previous survey. (Still, nearly three-quarters thought crime was getting worse, which Robinson says is false.) He said it’s important to get the good news out there because reducing fear of crime is one of the Mounties’ three main goals. “Reducing the fear of crime is paramount because I can reduce the number of calls for service and I can reduce anti-social behaviour but if I don’t reduce the perception of fear in the community, I’ve lost,” he said. “Probably the hardest thing to do is reducing that fear of crime.” Robinson pointed to double-digit decreases in break-and-enters and auto thefts as evidence that the crime reduction strategy is paying off. And he said that the Mounties’ prolific offender program is a key weapon in the cops’ anti-crime arsenal. The aim of the program is to get prolific criminals either to repent their lifestyle or move to another jurisdiction. Robinson defined prolific offenders as those for whom crime is a lifestyle and a job. He says that 44 such offenders are currently registered in Chilliwack. Seven are in custody, 33 have some court-imposed conditions tied KNIPSTROM, from page 1 expressed frustration with the slow response from the Mounties. Normally they would like to see the RCMP respond within a month of the report’s completion. “They’re responding to our recommendations in this report,” CPC spokesperson Kate McDerby told the Times last September. “That’s why we feel that the 30 days, as a guideline, is something that is manageable—because they’re not going back to investigate it again.” The Mounties have blamed the Olympics and security duties at the G-8 and G-20 for its inability to respond in a timely manner. On Thursday, an RCMP spokesperson told the Times that she still can’t say when the

to their freedom and four have no conditions. Criminals get designated as prolific offenders when they are found to be participating in a certain number of crimes in a certain time period. At that point, Mounties conduct a “lifestyle interview” with each offender and tell them of their new status. There are two subsets of prolific offenders: social/chronic offenders are those who may commit crime to support a drug or alcohol habit; priority prolific offenders are those “with ties to a criminal network.” The former is dealt with sympathetically, with police emphasizing the need for rehabilitation and developing a “care program.” The latter are pursued relentlessly and “very, very aggressively.” Robinson said officers tell prolific offenders: “You do what you wish. We’re not here to be mean and cruel. But we can be mean and cruel at the same time.” He said the prolific offender program “is very, very successful and working very, very well.” But he added that there is still work to be done and the entire community needs to join in the fight. “The actual crime causation is a community issue and if there are issues within your community that attract those elements of crime, they will come to your community. And that’s where the entire community has to band together to figure out what those causations and figure out strategies to get rid of the causation. We’re going to help that but we can’t take ownership of it. That has to be the community.” To that end he said the city’s Healthier Community Project, which aims to address crime, homelessness, and mental health and addictions problems, is much-needed to keep crime rates sinking.

force will respond to the report. “I can’t really give you an indication when the commission may give you the comments,” said Sgt. Pat Flood. “It’s being reviewed but until the report is finalized with the comments, we won’t be in a position to speak publicly about it.” Pressed on how long it may take, Flood said: “It does take time to review them and there are other responsibilities for the commissioner so, depending on the complexity of the report, the length of the report, when it’s received, he does try and get the comments out when he can and that’s really all we can say.”

Talk is all we do, all too often

efore this week, I didn’t know much about Tunisia. I knew it was a country in North Africa, a former part of the Ottoman Empire and the later French colonial empire. I could guess that it was not a happy shiny land of democracy and freedom. But those are generalities about all of North Africa west of Egypt. Now we’re all quite pleased that (ex) president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali has been chased out of the country by the Jasmine Revoution. The revolt has many root causes, from high unemployment to the usual humiliations that people endure under a suffocating dictatorship. It was sparked by the suicide in December of Mohammed Bouazizi, an unemployed young man who set himself on fire in public. Images of his act of pain and protest spread through the Internet, to satellite news stations that broadcast them right back into Tunisia. In an already strained environment, protests and riots grew. The army refused to intervene. The president fled the country, and the government collapsed. An interim government was cobbled together, and almost collapsed again in the face of angry protests. (This will happen when you make your new “democratic” government from pieces of the old autocratic one.) Here’s the thing that’s really interesting about all this. Before this

MATTHEW CLAXTON

Be Our Guest month, 99 per cent of Canadians knew nothing about Tunisia. Sure, there were some Canadians born there, or whose ancestors came from there, who probably paid a lot of attention to the news from back home. And no doubt there is some tiny little NGO with three employees that has been trying to raise awareness of Ben Ali’s dictatorship. But really, it’s a tiny dictatorship. It wasn’t the harshest regime in the world (probably North Korea) or the craziest (North Korea again) and it doesn’t have nukes (see above). But now, pundits are falling all over themselves to talk about the significance of the events there. Does this mean doom for other repressive Arab regimes? Will Tunisia become a democratic state on its own, without outside invasion/bombing/friendly help from the U.S.? Or will it be taken over by Islamic fundamentalist radicals and turned into a giant terrorist training camp? And western governments are lining up to cheer on the plucky protesters. (Except for the French, who were offering to help Ben Ali

with his little security problem as recently as a month ago. Jerks.) Why? Really, why? No one cared about Tunisia three weeks ago. I know I couldn’t have found it on an unmarked map. It wasn’t even a trendy oppressed place, like Chiapas or Tibet. No movie star glamour for its plight. The question in Tunisia lately has been whether the revolt would have come to fruition without the images of Mohammed Bouazizi burning. It’s about whether media can cause people to act. In many ways, it’s the flipside of the question, was the shooting in Tucson sparked by the media? But the truth about media, even social media, is that for most people, it remains entertainment, style, personal expression. That is to say, it is utterly meaningless. Changing your Twitter image to green did not free the Iranian people. No amount of editorializing by the western press will affect the outcome of the Tunisian revolution. Facebook is not going to help send the Dalai Lama back home to Tibet. From the pundits to the politicians to the bloggers, without action, our support for change in Tunisia is so much empty air, flashing pixels forming meaningless constellations that affect nothing. ◗ Matthew Claxton is a reporter with the Langley Advance.

s Abbotsford turning its back on the country? Or are they simply shunning a model of government gone the way of the dodo? More questions than answers bubbled up following last week’s e-mail blast from Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce executive director David D. Hull, announcing a decision to lobby the city “to extract itself from the Fraser Valley Regional District . . .” We’ll assume the chamber stepped into this issue as a means to help strengthen Abbotsford by keeping more tax dollars within city limits. That makes sense. However, an interesting part of their initiative involves its timing. At first blush, the proposal to pull from the district seemed like a chamber idea. And maybe it was—but the city had been looking into the issue for months, if not years. Also, the chamber’s statement arrived Wednesday, only two days before Abbotsford council’s agenda for Monday’s regular meeting was set to be released. The hot topic scheduled for this particular afternoon: separating from the FVRD. Coincidence? Maybe. But with both local papers heading to press between the chamber’s announcement and the city’s agenda release, the question arises. Granted, political positioning aside, whose idea was what and when isn’t the big issue here. Instead, we want to know how much it’ll cost the Abby to leave the FVRD, how much hospital debt they’ll pack along, if even allowed to pull out—and as a matter of concern for our neighbours, in exactly what shape this leaves the smaller communities within our region. But with all these questions floating around, at least one major answer was revealed Monday: each of Abbotsford’s councillors, with the exception of Coun. Patricia Ross, favours leaving the district. While they know this movement could refashion B.C.’s governmental structure, what it will do to taxpayers is yet to be seen. We hope readers give this topic the attention it deserves.

News

Sometimes it’s all they know

Editor: I am just writing in response to the “Not welcome in our city” write up in the Jan. 25 Times, regarding Nick Kocoski’s death. " Everyone makes decisions in life, good and bad. Growing up we all searched for happiness, some people are still searching. I was told once when asking a friend why he would join a gang when he knew it would lead him down a bad path? My friend replied, “My dad raised me by himself and I have been surrounded by ‘gang members’ since I was a kid. I’ve never thought about about it being wrong because it’s what ‘family’ is to me.” All people truly want is love and acceptance. And for Nick’s family and friends, regardless of who he was involved with, it is very sad and upsetting when someone’s life is lost. I am not condoning gangs or the damage that they can cause but this world is a fallen world, we are all imperfect and to blame for many things. Some don’t pay taxes, others cheat the system, some people cheat on their spouses or abuse their children or bully peers . . . how can we put all the world’s blame on this gang? I know that I am not perfect and if we are all honest with ourselves we know we have made mistakes too. Shouldn’t we, at the very least, mourn the death of a person whose life was cut short? Just something to think about, before prejudging someone’s life. Christine White Chilliwack

Planting trees is very expensive often $100 a tree plus cartage, soil and fertilizer to start. Next they must be maintained. Diseases take tolls, intrusive growth by the roots and limbs. Broken branches must be cared for and removed. Often trees require water. One example is birch, which becomes diseased when dry. Sycamore trees are giants with broad leaves. They must have maintenance each spring and fall. Leaves from London Plains trees (sycamore) must be raked and removed each year. Leaves carry fungus and disease so must be removed, a labour job plus garbage expense. Whether maples or pine needles all must be kept raked and removed. The many bugs and moths are a real problem. What is worse is that the trees and roots can become a danger. I do not want a tree falling on me or my neighbours. Trees must be removed or replaced because they shade property so much that gardens will not grow. Simply the property owner has the expense and responsibility when it comes to trees. For the city, neighbours or onlookers to indicate what the property owner should grow and maintenance on is truly not an option. Lynn Douglas, you do not wish the responsibility nor expense otherwise you would buy a lot and fill it with trees. I am glad I do not live next door to you. Already I have large Douglas Firs shading my small lot and I cannot grow

a garden in the shade. Also do you not know what a tree is? A rhododendron or rose of Sharon is a bush and can grow very tall. I suggest that you volunteer your services and money to your neighbours to maintain their trees for one full year starting now. Let us see what you think next January. Mrs. M. LaChance Chilliwack

Hope and help for gay people Editor: Re: Jan. 18 Our View “Beacon for gay youth.” “We'll all be merry and gay,” back in the ’70s this was a portion of a cute little song I taught to my pre-school class. Little did I know that this innocent song would mean something very different in the 21st century. Those with a “conservative” viewpoint about the homosexual lifestyle should not be blamed for the misery in the homosexual community. It is definitely a falsehood that we have “driven out those who feel unwelcome.” No, in actual fact, these individuals have chosen this abnormal lifestyle and thus reap loneliness, selfrejection, and sickness of mind and body. There are conservative people in this community who would gladly welcome these individuals into their lives to give them hope and help out of this unhappy type of lifestyle. I do hope that people trapped in this unhealthy lifestyle will choose to find this help and perhaps some

of the organizations that want to help these people can put an ad in this great diverse paper to direct them to the help they need should they choose it. Kathleen McCune Chilliwack

Nothing wrong with FSA test Editor: There is really just one reason for the ongoing controversy over the Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA). It is that the teachers’ union is opposed to the use—by any organization or individual—of any schoollevel student assessment results to publicly rate schools. My reading of the 13year history of the FSA and the public statements and actions of union officials during this period supports this suggestion. Why does the union object to this use of student assessment results? It does so because such ratings enable anyone to compare schools on a student performance measure that might be construed to reflect on the effectiveness of its union members. There is, therefore, one critical question that should be asked and debated before any action is taken regarding the FSA: As a society, do we believe that the public should be able to compare schools that are funded in whole or in part by taxpayers on the basis of student performance data of any kind? I believe the teachers’ union would answer in the negative. But if, the union were to surprise me and respond in the positive, then we need a thorough public discussion of this question.

As well as performing, she teaches beginning fiddlers at the Pacific Fiddle College and performs with both the Chilliwack and Burnaby symphony orchestras. She enjoys playing in string quartets because “The group is just big enough to get a full, interesting sound, but small enough so that all of the instruments can have their say.” One of her most amusing experiences happened at a music camp when a violin student played Chopsticks and the audience was brought to their feet. Gwyneth plays many instruments and continually challenges herself to learn more. She is currently taking cello lessons and takes her own advice when it comes to learning music: “Never ever give up!”

Faith Today BY GLENN DRIEDGER Chilliwack Evangelical Missionary Church

itting on a flight to Montreal, and looking for conversation, I engaged the man in the window seat, initially with “weather talk,” however, it quickly moved to the typical male conversation of “what do you do and how’s that working for you?” I was intrigued by his response as he shared about the business he was in and the partners he was involved with and so on. To my chagrin, he then reciprocated with the same question of me. I often try to avoid this question, because it means I must reveal that I’m a pastor, which I will confess to, but which I also try to express in muffled tones—not because I’m ashamed of my role in life, but because it so often causes

Living a meaningful life a sense of awkwardness in the conversation. As the conversation turned back to his story, he elaborated on a recent experience in his life. Although he claimed no interest in faith, he went on to tell a story about a business partner of his who was involved in some really unique ways of caring for his community through the Christmas season. In fact, he said, it was an outreach of his partner’s church and he provided some significant funds to help him accomplish his goal. I was extremely curious as to why and so I asked him in somewhat of a cynical manner, “why

would you do that?” His response was what captured me, “because I wanted to do something meaningful. I need to have purpose in my life.” Now here was a seemingly successful businessman, whose home life and whose business had treated him very well. And yet, one of his deepest desires or longings was to be involved in doing something meaningful. I find that intriguing. Recently two other people sat down with me, both on separate occasions—one is late 50s, the other is early 70s. Both posed similar queries: “what will my life count for when it’s all said and

done?” By outward appearances, they have both done well, but their question is simple, “Will I have made any difference when my life is complete?” Having passed that magic half century mark (just barely lol), I can relate to their question, what gives life meaning? What is my purpose for being? I mean there’s certainly nothing inappropriate with having a nice home, a Beamer or even just a Harley Davidson. I wonder though, if the disappointment is that too often we’re expecting these acquisitions to provide something which they are incapable of providing—meaning

and purpose? Could it be that there really is a creative God, who when He creates us, does so with a purpose, with a reason for being? Could it be that a loving, creating God would also create within our soul that which only He could satisfy? Could it be that my new Montreal-bound acquaintance was discovering something which lay innately buried within his soul, a craving that could only be satisfied by a relationship with His creator? Could it be that there are internal cravings within your own soul, cravings for meaning and purpose, which will only be satisfied by a relationship with your Creator? I’d love to hear your thoughts. ◗ Glenn Driedger pastors Chilliwack Evangelical Missionary Church.You can contact him at glenn.driedger@telus.net.

News STUNG, from page 1 What’s more, municipalities and the provincial government benefit economically from resource industries, particularly agriculture, that take place in the rural areas. There’s also the misconception electoral areas aren’t paying for what they get, he said. “Residents pay fees for services . . . and each service is independent, and has its own budget and can’t be used for anything else,” said Lamson. The FVRD is re-examining its services and is optimistic it can appease Abbotsford. FVRD chair Patricia Ross said the board initiated a review of the district’s core services in July to identify further savings and efficiencies. “All I can say is we’re confident we can prove good value for money for the City of Abbotsford. There’s lots of value in being a member of a regional district,” she said. The FVRD is disappointed Abbotsford moved forward so quickly with its decision to withdraw from the district, said Ross. However, the board has decided staff should respond to the report Abbotsford submitted on its withdrawal, said Ross. The district’s response and review of core services will likely be released in March. “We’re looking at where we can find efficiencies and reallocate so there’s fair distribution

onYour

of funding, and not just for Abbotsford, but all members of the FVRD,” said Ross, who agreed a review was overdue and in everyone’s best interest. Mission Mayor James Atebe agreed that Abbotsford should support other member municipalities to review the allocation of funds, but said it’s premature for the city to abandon the FVRD. “There is no clear case for any member to move out of the regional district,” said Atebe. “Since the [FVRD] review is not complete, we should not come to a decision to dismantle the regional district which serves the municipalities very well.” The FVRD served as a framework to help Abbotsford obtain its new regional hospital, he noted. The process to remove Abbotsford from the district will be a lengthy one as the plan requires the approval of the Minister of Community, Sport, and Cultural Development, said Ross. No other member municipalities have expressed the desire to leave the FVRD, she said. Chilliwack Coun. Chuck Stam is currently the vice-chair of the FVRD. Stam did not reply to a request from the ChilliwackTimes to comment.

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.

id you know that stress can make you fat? So you ask, how exactly does excess stress relate to your expanding waistline? When you are stressed, you elevate your cortisol levels. While stressed, cortisol can become more important to your body than other hormones, and because it is produced on the same biochemical pathway as your sex hormones, cortisol can rob your body of the very substances needed to keep these hormones in abundance.

For instance, cortisol can compete with testosterone (that’s why your libido is almost non-existent during stress) and testosterone is needed to help repair and replace muscle tissue. This is so important because your muscle tissues control, to a large extent, your metabolic rate (one of the reasons metabolism declines with aging is because of a loss of lean muscle). In other words, the more muscle you carry, the greater your ability to burn body fat. Less stress, more muscle equals less fat.

Cortisol also competes with DHEA, your anti-aging hormone, which is why people seem to magically age before your eyes when they are under stress for long periods. DHEA is also needed to maintain a healthy metabolism. In fact, research at the University of Wisconsin, has shown that derivatives of DHEA help start thermogenesis (the burning of body fat), and may help decrease the incidence of obesity. One of the most important roles of DHEA is to balance the effects of cortisol... perhaps this is the key to its metabolism enhancing effects. Natural stress supplements help to balance the DHEA and cortisol ratios – leading to a healthier metabolism and fat loss. And they can help your body deal with stress in a healthy manner.

la Kubiak is Chilliwack’s new ChillSpell champion. The St. Mary’s Grade 7 student was the last speller standing on the Chilliwack Cultural Centre stage Tuesday after spelling “elevation” and watching the last of her fellow contestants founder on “mayoralty,” “luminosity,” “chasm,” “balminess,” “ellipse” and “ascending.” The fifth annual ChillSpell bee lasted for nine nail-biting rounds and put 62 spellers

in Grades 4 to 8 to the test. Eight diehards hung on till the final round (Max Reichelt, Hoony Oh, Anthony Van Eerden, Alexa Murray-Schlitt, Brody Porter and Sabrina Gill) but in the end only Kubiak avoided the dreaded ting of the judge’s bell. On the judging panel this year were Mayor Sharon Gaetz and Chilliwack school board trustee Heather Maahs along with Edward Kaye of Waterstone Law (a sponsor of the bee) and retired assistant superintendent Michael Audet, who plied his honeyed voice in the role of official pronouncer for the fourth year in a row. With the number of contestants and schools involved (and the 300 or so spectators on hand to take in the action) it was the biggest ChillSpell since the contest began five years ago.

Bruins take it on the chin

Red-hot rookie season so far Cockrill has star power

W. Graham grad Micah Cockrill continues to rack up the points for the UBCOkanagan Heat as he turns himself into a candidate for the BCCAA basketball rookie of the year. Cockrill has been able to take over stretches of a game with his scoring touch and this week was named the school’s athlete of the week for the second time this year. The six-foot-five Chilliwack native is having a banner season and sits eighth in points per game with an average of 15.27 ppg. Friday night against the visiting Douglas College Royals, Cockrill did not shoot the ball particularly well yet still was second on the Heat in scoring with 17 points in the Heat’s 80-71 victory. Cockrill

Micah Cockrill is lighting it up as a freshman with the UBCOkanagan Heat basketball team. also grabbed six rebounds and notched four steals to aid the Heat to the victory. The next night was the Micah show. The Heat had four players unable to compete due to injury, and then lost two more players early in the game. Trailing the Royals by 15 points midway through the third quarter, Cockrill started draining three-pointers. At one point he scored six in a row as he pulled the Heat back level with Douglas College. The Heat needed overtime but were able to defeat the Royals 84-77 thanks largely to Cockrill’s 28 points on 10-for-17 shooting, which included shooting eight-for14 from the three point line.

he best in the west showed the Chilliwack Bruins the difference between a team that’s fighting for a playoff spot and one with designs on a Memorial Cup Wednesday. The Portland Winterhawks laid a 9-2 beatdown on the Bruins as they skated to their sixth straight victory. The Winterhawks’ plethora of offensive weapons lit up both Bruins netminders, with five different players registering at least four points on the night. Brendan Leipsic, a five-foot-eight 16year-old dynamo led the way with the best game of his short WHL career. Leipsic opened the scoring 2:49 in and finished the game with two goals and three assists for the red-hotWinterhawks, who were recently declared the 10th best junior team in the country in the weekly BMO CHL Mastercard rankings. Despite the score, Bruins head coach Marc Habscheid was pleased with the way his team came out of the gate. “I thought we started really good. We were carrying the game,” he told the Times. “I liked our game and liked our work ethic.”

But barely halfway through the first period, the ‘hawks had taken a 3-0 lead and chased Bruins netminder Lucas Gore from the net. But things got no better and, after Braden Gamble had surrendered four more goals, Gore returned to the firing line for the third period. And a firing line it was; the Winterhawks threw 21 and 20 shots on goal in the first and second periods, respectively en route to outshooting the Bruins 51-29. “As the goals got up, guys get down and frustrated,” said Habscheid. “We’re in a rough stretch, there’s no doubt about it, but you can’t just throw your hands up in the air, you’ve got to keep pursuing it, you’ve got to get better and find ways to win.” As bad as the game was for the Bruins’ netminders, it was arguably worse for Chilliwack’s top line of Ryan Howse, Roman Horak, and Robin Soudek. Howse and Horak were on the ice for six Portland goals, and Soudek (who scored a late power play marker) on for five. “You just can’t wait for the power play,” said Habscheid when asked about his first line. “You’ve got to play fiveon-five, you’ve got to score five-on-five, you’ve got to defend five-on-five and that’s where we’re taking it on the chin right now.” Wednesday’s shellacking, coming shortly after a painful 7-3 defeat to the Vancouver Giants on Sunday, was the fourth time in two weeks that the Bruins had surrendered six or more goals. And things aren’t looking up in the

near future. Before returning home Saturday to the friendly confines of the Prospera Centre and the familiar faces of the Kamloops Blazers (game time 7 p.m.), the Bruins first have to pay a visit to the Spokane Chiefs. When the two teams met last week, the Chiefs walked away with an easy 61 victory and Habscheid said his team was “schooled” by the Chiefs. From this week’s results, it appears that the bell hasn’t quite run on January’s painful lessons. “We just have to persevere. There are good teams we’re playing, but I didn’t mind our game [Wednesday] in a lot of areas.” Cancer Society teams up with Bruins The Bruins and Canadian Cancer Society announced Thursday that they’ll join forces Feb. 2 to fight back against cancer. Mayor Sharon Gaetz and other “local notables” will take cracks at an old car with the word cancer painted on it at 4 p.m. before that night’s game. The public is welcome to join in. Special $15 tickets for the Bruins’ game against the Kelowna Rockets are available at the Canadian Cancer Society Office, at 9136 Young Rd. Four dollars from each ticket goes to the society, in addition to various fundraising events during the game.

win Rinks isn’t exactly the Air Canada Centre, and Ron Fox isn’t quite Mats Sundin, but when the 78year-old retired B.C. Tel worker laces up his skates, pulls on his Toronto Maple Leafs jersey and steps onto the midday ice, his eyes light up brighter than those of a National Hockey Leaguer on a breakaway. As one of 20-or-so 60-plus hockey players who hit the ice at Twin Rinks as many as three times a week, Fox figures he’s found the perfect way to get his fill of exercise. “I just simply love the game,” he says. “I still have a passion for it. I like the camaraderie, the spirit the game provides.” The fact that it’s a great workout is a bonus. “It beats staying at home vacuuming rugs or cutting grass,” he says. “It’s certainly not boring.” At 78, Fox is the oldest player (but only by two months, he points out). At 62, his co-organizer, Rick Mino, is one of the youngest. One player wryly notes that “no other league can brag they have 1,000 years on the ice.” The years have slowed the guys

Drawing inspiration from the Bruins

Cultural Centre teams up with hockey club for special contest

Submitted photo

David Kilvert working on a caricature sketch for the Chilliwack Cultural Centre’s contest.

he Chilliwack Cultural Centre and the Chilliwack Bruins are teaming up for a contest that promises to be a big draw. In an effort to connect the sports and arts communities, the cultural centre has launched a caricature contest, for which artists of all ages are encouraged to sketch a caricature of their favourite Bruin for a chance to win a teriffic grand prize. A caricature is an exaggerated image of a person, often with a miniature body, striking a pose. The face is typically enlarged and prominent features emphasized. Though local art groups will not be suiting up and facing off against the Bruins they will be in Prospera Centre on March 2 showcasing brilliantly talented local artists and musicians. A few of those artists spots are still up for grabs as all entries will be on display at the game, with ribbons awarded to the top five caricatures, judged by Bruins personnel. The top five entries will also be on display at the Chilliwack

Cultural Centre for two weeks following the game. Grand prizes include two tickets to a Bruins game, two tickets to Pinocchio, two tickets to The Matinee, two tickets to The Drowsy Chaperone, and free guitar lessons. Headshots of the Bruin players can be found on the team’s website (www.chilliwackbruins.com),along with contest specifics, including size, media, and entry instructions. The completed works of art are to be dropped off at the Community Arts Council reception, located within the cultural centre on Corbould Street, by Feb. 25. The caricature contest is just one of the offerings the participating art organizations have planned, including a line-up of fantastic entertainment at the March 2 Bruins game. The game will not be one to miss as organizers promise that it will be like going to a concert and sports game at the same time. Fans of the arts can receive an exclusive discounted $10 ticket for the March 2 game between the Bruins and the Lethbridge Hurricanes. Just mention your love for the arts when you call the Bruins office at 604-792-GOAL (4625). ◗ For Caricature Contest specifics, including size, media, and entry instructions, visit www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca/bruins or call 604392-8000 and ask for KellyAnne.

Fit to be tied After a six-week layoff the U15 girls Strikers travelled to Tsawwassen to take on the first place Wanderers. The locals were out to avenge an early season loss but it was the Wanderers who came out fast and hard as they dominated the first 16 minutes of play, peppering Chilliwack keeper Samantha Chand with hard shots from every angle. Chand’s acrobatics kept the shots from finding the back of the net as she dove, tipped and lunged to deflect the ball. The Strikers found their legs soon after, and were able to mount some dangerous attacks of their own, only to be turned aside. Chand again kept the Wanderers at bay in the second half with several diving saves. The rest of the Chilliwack Club rose to support Chand’s work in the net and, led by centre midfielders Emma Haagensen and Makayla Pfeifer, and centrebacks Rhiannon Dunphy and Kelli Whitehead, stifled the wandering attack. The Game ended as it started, 0-0, with both teams feeling like they had been

Soccer briefs in a real battle. The Strikers were the first team to hold the high-powered Tsawwassen offence without a goal. The Strikers hit the road again next Sunday to take on the second-place Coquitlam Fusion. Attack slays the Beasts On Sunday, the Dunbar Beasts (1-7-3) descended on the cornfields of Chilliwack to play the U-15 Chilliwack Attack (8-1-2). In an entertaining game, the different style of play was evident from the opening kick-off with the Chilliwack speedy midfield and forwards putting tremendous pressure on the Beasts’ penalty area. The Attack defence kept any loose balls from crossing the centreline for most of the first half, while the Beasts’ defenders looked for an opportunity to move the ball forward quickly on the counterattack. MacKenzie Graham, Dani Cherniwchan, Jenna

Snow all had quality chances to score only to be denied Beasts’ athletic goalkeeper. With about five minutes left in the first half, and against the run of play, a rare ball into the Chilliwack penalty area founds it way into the back of the Attack net. At the start of the second half Attack coach Jamie Steeves moved defender Jodi Brown up front to tackle the strong Beasts’ defenders. The move paid off at the 15-minute mark when the Attack finally found the back of Beasts’ net. A Kristy Ricard cross from the left flank found the foot of Bettina Rillera who slid the ball past the outstretched goalkeeper. The Attack kept pressing for the winner and they were rewarded 10 minutes later. A through ball made its way to the dangerous Megan Kelly, who made no mistake hammering the ball into the Beasts’ goal. The visitors tried to mount a comeback late in the game but Attack keeper Jenae Hidlebrandt turned away the Beasts’ scoring chances. With the 2-1 win the Attack stay at the top of the league standings.

These guys always want the puck SHINNY, from page 16 young at heart.” And he encourages other people to take a cue from the septuagenarian skaters. “I think it’s a real testament to what older people can do,” he says. “I think it should inspire a lot of people to say, ‘hey, I can get out and do something too.’” The oldtimers group has been playing together every week for longer than many of the seniors have been seniors. The rotating cast of players—some age out or die, while younger players join up—began hitting the ice more than 15 years ago. When he started, in 1996, Ken Newton was one of the younger fellows. Now 73, Newton—who organized the group for seven years in the early 2000s— says he enjoys the camaraderie and the competition. “Every time we step on the ice, we’re winners,” he says The group plays throughout the year for an hour and a half on Tuesdays and Thursdays—there is also a drop-in session on Fridays that many participate in. Throughout the year, the men will play more than 100 games, but thanks to financial help from sponsors— which the players patronize when

Chris Chester takes a breather on the bench after a hard shift at Twin Rinks with his oldtimer teammates. they’re out in the community—the cost boils down to just a few dollars a week. Fox assigns the teams and sometimes sets up mini-series between the squads. And while there is a variety of skill levels among the players, that doesn’t mean the games lack competition. “We try and respect our opponents in terms of safety, but we want the puck more than the other guy,” says Fox. Needless to say, there’s no hitting and if someone falls down, the game stops to make sure he’s OK. After all, they all need to be able to take part in the fun and games off the ice. The oldtimers, along with their wives, often get together as a group

away from the rink. “We go out for dinner. We take the gals out to the legion,” Newton explains. Adds Mino: “It’s like a big happy family. But that’s before and after the hockey game.” And right now, a hockey game is waiting to be played so Fox, having stacked a couple dozen pucks along the boards for warm-up, opens the gate, and hits the ice declaring, “A clean sheet of ice, what more can you ask for than that?” ◗ New players are welcome to join Fox, Mino and the rest of the Twin Rinks oldtimers. Players 60-andover should contact Fox at 604793-7974. Goalies of any age are welcome.

HOULKER, Julie Kathryn

December 21, 1954 ~ January 21, 2011 Julie passed away peacefully on January 21 at Cascade Hospice in Chilliwack surrounded by family and close friends. Julie was born in Blackburn, England on December 21 1954 and came to Canada with her husband and son in 1988. Julie loved working with children and her nursing background complemented her work as an infant development consultant in the Chilliwack area. Despite her 15 year battle with cancer Julie always had a smile for everyone. Her illness didn’t stop her from travelling the world, exploring BC and enjoying family ski holidays. Julie was one of the founding members of the Spirit Abreast dragon boat team and loved to be out on the water. In Canada she is survived by her husband of 34 years Graham, son Paul, daughter-in-law Melanie and granddaughter Abbygail. She will be greatly missed by extended family and friends. In England Julie will be sadly missed by her Mother, Sisters and Brother and many in-laws, nieces and nephews. The family would like to say thank you to her family doctor and all the staff and volunteers at the Cascade Hospice for the love and care they gave her. We will be celebrating Julie’s life at the Best Western Rainbow Country Inn, Chilliwack on Saturday February 5 1:00 – 4:00 pm. In lieu of ﬂowers, donations can be made in Julie’s name to the Chilliwack Hospice Society. Condolences can be left at www.hendersonsfunerals.com

Lost & Found

FOUND BLACK zipper pocket book size case on Hope River Rd Sunday Jan 23. Pls call 604-702-0497 to identify

Sarah was deeply loved and will be greatly missed by her daughter Debbie, son-in-law Ron Angell of Chilliwack and her son Ken of London, Ontario. She was predeceased by her husband Cliff in 2008. Sarah was born in Edinburgh, Scotland on September 7th 1926. She met Cliff Smith, the love of her life at the conclusion of WWII. In February 1947 she immigrated to Canada to marry Cliff. They lived in Montreal until Cliff’s retirement when they moved to Kamloops to be near Deb and Ron. They moved to Chilliwack in 2006 when poor health forced them to leave their home. Motherhood was the biggest joy in Sarah’s life. She loved her home, camping, traveling, entertaining, singing, whistling, and dancing. She was an avid sewer, knitter and she enjoyed crafts of all sorts. Sarah’s hands were never still. Sarah always gave generously of herself and her possessions. She looked after the needs of others long before her own. Sarah was a loving and devoted friend, a special lady who endeared herself to everyone she came in contact with. Her loss will be felt far beyond her family by her many friends. We are so grateful to have shared our lives with Sarah. The family would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Paul Basson who cared for and supported our Mum for the past four years. We are also deeply grateful to the staff at the Cascade Lodge for the love, care and respect shown to Sarah over the past four years.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Sunday/Monday highlight the problem (2010-2012) in a crucial relationship. You see another in terms of security, but they might see you as “fighting” their ambition. You’ll see clues to solving it Saturday. The solution has something to do with understanding, affection, and with secrets/ research, finances, sexual yearnings, commitment, intuition and dreams. Those secrets, finances, sexuality, et al, are emphasized midweek – they’re a source of ambition, success. If you can’t solve the relationship problem, you might “thoroughly” end the bond, now or later. Decide what’s best. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Chores and health issues arise Sunday/Monday – with problems attached. Solutions to these problems occur Friday/Saturday – the answer might lie deeper, in diagnosis, even surgery. (Metaphorically, too – i.e., cutting out a wasteful or “work-causing” situation.) Relationships confront you mid-week: exciting meetings, challenges and opportunities. You could meet your match in love! That’s important now, as January to June luckily support weddings, love (and far travel, legal solutions, publishing and intellectual pursuits). Depths, secrets, intimacy and funding go well Friday/ Saturday. Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Romance could hit a snag Sunday/Monday – it probably involves money or possessions – or difficulty “possessing” someone. For you, now to late 2012, romance and sensuality are firmly fused – study whether this will be a problem or a blessing. Creativity and speculation could face the same two-year snag, so be cautious with risk. Chores and health – the main themes of these few weeks – become important midweek. A new work project could begin. Work and health are tied strongly – and mostly beneficially – to finances, investments, research and sex. These four are lucky now to June.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: You have to recognize a basic truth: between now and October 2012, all your efforts to advance in the world (via career, marriage, business, carving out the land, etc.) will be either helped or opposed by another (or others). You will have to form a partnership of interests – your ambition, their security. Be warned: this/these others are hard-headed, skeptical, want proof, not sweet persuasion. So, give proof – of your loyalty, reliability, skills. Sunday/Monday point this out. If you meet a barrier, re-read this. By Saturday, the “right path” appears. Social joys midweek! Taurus April 20-May 20: Love, law, learning and travel – all are a little rocky Sunday/Monday. Be patient – solutions arrive in a small way Monday eve through Tuesday morning, and in a big way Friday/ Saturday. What does the solution look like? Ambition and hard work. Higher-ups, bosses and parents, judges and VIPs are impatient and temperamental to late February, so tread lightly, show good humour, don’t be querulous (especially Friday morning!). Your ambitions can be very successful this week, especially Tuesday eve onward, if you’re eager. Good friends, flirts and social delights arrive late week! Gemini May 21-June 20: Take care with investments, debt, sexual urges, deep health, surgery, commitments and “secrets” Sunday/Monday. If you must handle something in these zones, do so Monday eve through Tuesday morning. Avoid a legal fight all month; but if you’re in one, it intensifies mid-January to late February. Despite the trauma, litigation might solve a problem and make a wish come true! Stability, hope and anger are your allies. The same period might bring gentle love with a hotheaded, idealistic person – intimacy moves toward destiny. Tuesday to Friday emphasizes these themes. Grab opportunities.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: I’ve mentioned several times over recent years, and will this whole decade, that domestic, property and security changes loom. These are emphasized this year and next, and might, during this time, present a) a puzzle to you, or b) a deeply experienced opportunity. This Sunday/Monday holds a problem or critical choice here – one that moves smoothly forward Tuesday, and meets a solution late week. (The solution involves work or health.) Now to June, relocation, new partnerships are lucky. Romance, creativity and risk lure you midweek, and could be the doorway to new partnership! Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: You will generally say what you mean Sunday eve – but this day and Monday can raise a barrier to communication that has been around for a year and will last to late next year. It could simply be that communications become burdensome (e.g., more emails – or IT glitches at your job) or, that gossip is a problem factor. You can set up or initiate a long-lasting communications solution Friday/Saturday, one that enhances both your career and security. Home, family, property concerns – February’s main focus – ﬂow well late Tuesday to Thursday. Romance, pleasure, beauty late week! Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Both a money opening/opportunity and a money barrier arise Sunday/Monday. This “duo” exist now into October 2012 (and have, for awhile). During the entire phase, take care with expenses, spending, investing. The problem factor seems to involve wishes, or popularity or enjoyment – too much of these for your bank account, maybe? Mild money luck enters Thursday, for a month, and a solution to past and present money dilemmas is available late week. Casual friends, siblings, communications, errands, paperwork, curiosity ﬁll midweek. They “are” the money solution, here forward.

Jan. 30 - Feb. 5 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness rise strongly Sunday to Tuesday midday – get out, ask favours, start important projects. If your project is monetary (or sensual) continue it through Thursday, as many “good starts” are available! Even Friday/Saturday continue to help – especially with money attached to career, property, and/or personal skills. Mid-January through February brings: a) the end of a money source, and/or b) the seeding of a new one, or c) money connected to property. Much can ﬂow to you – don’t let it ﬂow past/ away – save! Friends, errands, late week. Aquarius Jan.20-Feb.18: Rest,lie low,contemplate Sunday to Tuesday afternoon.You might spy a problem with communications, travel, intellectual, cultural or legal affairs Sunday/Monday. Keep the faith, because the rest of this week, especially Wednesday and Saturday, could brew the solution. (The solution lies in your own personality, your willingness to step forward and say, “This is me! And this is what I can do!” And that tendency, self-promotion, is highest and most successful this midweek, Tuesday-Thursday, and this month, February.) Chase money or spend (used items great) Friday/Saturday. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Your optimism and social desires rise Sunday to Tuesday afternoon. But you’re in an overall “recuperation mode” until Feb. 18, so don’t expect a lot. Be contemplative, restful, and gently private all week – especially Tuesday to Thursday, when weariness increases. (Great government, spiritual and health links midweek also.) You might notice a long-term problem (to October 2012) Monday, involving intimacy, sexuality, commitment, or focusing on your net worth, investments, debt. These dilemmas approach solutions Wednesday night and Saturday – or at least, show you how to “be safe.” timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
