Chilliwack’s health contact centre will be located at this site on Young Road if the deal goes through and city council agrees to the rezoning required.

hilliwack’s long-awaited health contact centre for homeless, addicted and mentally ill men and women finally has a home at the site of a Young Road motel across the street from city hall. Few of the parties involved are talking, but the purchase of the Days Inn by B.C. Housing is in the final stages and a rezoning application has been made to the city. Chilliwack MLA John Les said he couldn’t comment on the project, but said he and Chilliwack-Hope MLA Barry Penner would likely make a formal announcement about the facility by the end of next week.

Chilliwack principals caught in the crossfire

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com he neighbours of a Gore Avenue drug house are saying good riddance to a muchdetested home that exploded in flames Tuesday afternoon. Dozens of firefighters worked to contain the blaze, which broke out just after 1 p.m., while uniformed and plainclothes officers kept an eye on the house. A female tenant of the house managed to escape and was taken to hospital, where she was treated for smoke inhalation. Investigators suspect that the fire began when someone carelessly used a blowtorch to try and repair a crack pipe, according to RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Lea-Anne Dunlop. Blowtorches are also frequently used to light crack in a pipe in

ozens of elementary school students learned a lesson Tuesday that probably dates back to before the stone age, when a little Grog or Grogette in a cave struck two pieces of flint together and created a mesmerizing spark; don’t play with fire. Things have probably changed a little. Stone age firefighters didn’t have online animated videos, colouring pages, or a massive fire truck at their disposal. And finding a projector was probably a little tricky. But the point of the firefighters’ message remains the same. Simply: it’s a whole lot better to prevent fires than to repair the damage and heal the injuries they cause. Next week is Burn Awareness Week and in preparation, the firefighters brought their message (and their trucks) to Robertson elementary school Tuesday. Grade 2 and 4 students learned how to avoid burns, what to do if one is burned (call an adult right away), and that even good fires (e.g. campfires or in fireplaces) should be left to adults.

Spreading burn awareness message helps reduce future victim numbers The Chilliwack Professional Firefighters also showed off a cheque for $6,000 for the B.C. Professional Firefighters’ Burn Fund, which puts on awareness programs and operates camps for burn victims. But for firefighters like Lt. Eric Davies, the hope is that in-school programs can reduce the number of child burn victims at the source. “Recovering from burns is a long and painful process . . . and if we can stop these kids from getting burned in the first place, we’re light years ahead,” he told the Times. As Kathy Isaac’s Grade 4 students bounced on their feet in front of the fire truck Tuesday, Davies asked them if it’s OK to start even a small fire. The students were quick to say no, which impressed Davies, who told them: “every fire that we’ve ever had starts very, very small. Then it grows. The hope is that as students grow and gain more access to firemaking materials, whether legitimately or not, they’ll

remember to stay safe. “If you’re starting the kids at a young age being safety conscious then, as they get older, they’ll be more safetyoriented,” said firefighter Andy Brown. They may also be able to educate their parents on how to treat any minor burns they may suffer; fire educator Lisa Axelson told the students that, because they have more delicate skin, burns on children should be treated by putting the burn under cool, but not cold water. Cream or ointment should never be used. The $6,000 donated by the firefighters came from $25,000 raised through sales of their annual calendar. Money has also been donated to burn camps and local non-profits including the Boys and Girls Club and Salvation Army. The firefighters donate their time to put on the in-school programs, which are free and available for any teacher or principal who wants their students to hear the message. Teachers should call the fire department at 604-792-8713 and ask to speak to Lisa Axelson.

door-to-door fundraising scam may be afoot in Chilliwack. RCMP have received two complaints in two days of a suspicious man who claims to be collecting money for sick kids. One incident was reported near McIntosh Drive and the other on Williams Street. According to one of the complaints first phoned in to Little Mountain elementary principal Steve Klassen, the man came into the neighbourhood of the school before noon on Tuesday and told a local homeowner he was one of several parents collecting money for a Little Mountain student—a little girl adopted from Australia who needed an operation on both of her ears. He said the group had collected $3,000 but needed to raise $5,500. He left empty-handed, however, after he was unable to produce evidence his fundraising efforts were endorsed by the school. “[The homeowner] got in touch with me right away to ask if we indeed were having a fundraiser here and I indicated ‘no,’” said Klassen. Klassen reported the incident to police and said anyone approached for money in a similar way should check with schools before donating. “Don’t give away your money without doing your homework,” he said. “If the school hasn’t clearly communicated that a fundraiser is happening, then you need to move ahead slowly, and feel free to call the school as this parent did.” The suspect is described as being in his 40s with mediumlength brown hair, a slim build, and possibly missing teeth. At the time of the incidents, he was wearing a red hooded sweatshirt and red toque.

Houses a-luminate hope Their special building offers a permanent solution for Haiti quake victims

BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

f there’s a better way to design a home for Haiti’s homeless than to have a Haitian fly over and pace out a floor plan right in the parking lot of your Chilliwack manufacturing plant, the folks at Spero Society haven’t heard about it. For the new local non-profit, which has turned that floor plan into a permanent, three-bedroom duplex design to house people still homeless after last January’s devastating earthquake, it was the perfect way to get a picture of exactly what the country needs. “This is not a Band-Aid solution,” said CEO John Vermeer. “This is a permanent home.” Spero Society’s search for a way to help Haiti’s earthquake survivors began last year when a local aluminum railing manufacturer approached Vermeer (also the executive director of Promontory Community Church) and said he wanted to give his business to God. Since churches can’t own businesses,

Cornelia Naylor/TIMES

John Vermeer, CEO of SPERO Society stands by the aluminum frame of the prototype of the houses the non-profit plans to build for people left homeless by last year’s earthquake in Haiti.

Vermeer gathered together a group of like-minded local Christians and formed the society, which then bought the company. The first order of business was to try to find a way to get the manufacturing plant working to help Haiti. “We looked for something we could do or send that was complimentary to aluminum railing production,” said Ver-

meer. Among the first few ideas sketched out on napkins were plans for a water pump and a temporary eight-foot by eight-foot aluminum and fiberglass shelter. Officials in Haiti nixed the latter, however, because of growing concerns that an influx of temporary or transitional shelters, designed to last no more than five years, will lead to shantytowns and undermine long-term solutions to the country’s housing crisis So Spero went back to the drawing board and what they’ve come up with is a comprehensive, long-term plan to build not only homes but a community with a school, a medical clinic and a church—all held up by easy-to-assemble aluminum frames. The three-bedroom duplexes, the backbone of the community, are just over 41 square feet and include a small living room, a bathroom and a porch for shade. Made of aluminum and stucco with a tin roof, they can house 10 to 12 people and are designed to stand up to everything from earthquakes and hurricanes to termites. “We put a lot of research and development into it,” said Spero executive director Jack Robertson, who expects the houses to last more than 50 years. The non-profit’s partners in Haiti, Mountain Top Ministries, have had a lot of input into the house’s design. (It was that organization’s Haitianborn-and-raised founder, Willem Charles, who traveled to Chilliwack to pace See HAITI, Page 13

China’s Road Deaths: Over 220,000 Per Year?

Chinese leader Hu Jintao’s recent meeting with President Obama in Washington, DC has prompted torrents of speculation about the current state of the USChinese relationship which, in turn, has required a flurry of updating of the now regularly ongoing comparative analysis of the ‘new China’ versus ‘the West’.

Road Rules notes the reports on the steadily growing auto industry in China and the explosion of auto sales in China to the point where in 2010 it “took the title of the world’s top auto market from the United States.” Reports on the effect of this growth on China’s road safety statistics have also been noted. A study published in late December 2010 in the World Health Organization’s Bulletin, “Comparing road traffic mortality rates from police-reported data and death registration data in China” has concluded that for the period 2002 to 2007, the rate of death from road traffic injuries based on death registration data was about twice as high as the rate reported by the police. In 2007, for example, police reported road deaths were 81,649 compared to 221,135 registered road deaths. Police reported rates also showed a declining trend

But this decline was questionable in China’s case because by 2006 its rate was extremely low compared with the rate observed in other low- and middle-income countries, and because it defied the rapid increase in the absolute number of vehicles. A real or at least better understanding of the magnitude of China’s problem with road traffic fatalities was important, said this report, “not only in terms of China’s ability to develop effective measures for preventing and controlling traffic injuries, but also in terms of priority-setting in health at the global level.” China’s obvious struggle with the many challenges from its almost instant transformation into a ‘self-driving’ car culture is, among other things, a cautionary tale. While our longer-term trends for injury and fatality have steadily improved, we are constantly revising and tweaking our road traffic rules and regulations. Some regard traffic regulation as problematic—symptomatic of the growing propensity of our governments to over protect—to save us from ourselves, to minimize personal responsibility for any risks taken which thereby restricts our fundamental freedoms. China’s example of unbridled and inexperienced road use reminds us not to take for granted our elaborate, well-developed, and everimproving system.

Rex Murphy, for example, writing in the National Post pointed out the implications of China’s recent agreement with the Newfoundland government to begin the importation of seal and seal products into its vast market. While, as he called it “good and rare news for Newfoundland sealers,” he also pointed out that this “gesture” has wider implications, showing as it does China’s indifference to or carelessness of “many of the predominant concerns and values of the progressive West.”

News CENTRE, from page 1 John Les and Barry Penner have been very strong advocates for this project to make sure we kept the dollars.” If all goes as planned, the health contact centre will be run by the Surrey-based Pacific Community Resources Society (PCRS). PCRS director Laurie Birdsall told the Times Thursday they were in the final purchasing stages with B.C. Housing and that a Vancouver architectural firm is on board to renovate ºthe building. PCRS operates programs from Vancouver to Chilliwack, including Chilliwack Addiction and Prevention Services (CAPS). FSA, from page 1 (for extenuating circumstances only) school administrators are often left to mediate the conflict with parents. “It puts them in a very difficult position,” said superintendent Corrine McCabe, “So much of education is about the relationship between the parent, the student and the school, and anything that damages that relationship makes it much harder to support the kids. So principals are caught squarely in the middle of being asked to make sure that kids participate and staff that are asking the kids not to participate.” The FSA is a quality assessment, according to McCabe, but the meaningfulness of the data it generates depends on everyone involved taking it seriously. McCabe e-mailed Chilliwack administrators after Aziz’s statement to sympathize with their difficult position, but also to urge them to stay the course. “We want them to talk to parents and clarify what the purpose of the testFLAMES, from page 1 order to smoke it. Mounties had been watching the house for months, neighbours told the Times. Dunlop confirmed that the house was on the RCMP’s radar. “The house was known to us and was suspected to have some drug activity going on,” she said. One Gore Avenue resident said he heard an explosion from nearly a block away. Once it broke out, some witnesses reported repeated explosions coming from the building, but assistant fire chief Ian Josephson said investigators didn’t find anything inside that was out of the ordinary. Neighbours said

A good history

“We have a history in Chilliwack,” Birdsall said. The organization operates similar “onestop shopping” facilities for social services in Vancouver and Surrey. Birdsall said they have not had difficulties with neighbours in the past and because of the long-term, communitydriven nature of Chiliwack’s health contact centre, he is optimistic. “I think we have a good draft operational plan, we have a good history and significant community support,” he said.

Talk to parents

Crack pipe fix they had been working together for months to put the house out of business. They were not unhappy to see it in flames. The occupants had been evicted and were supposed to be out of the house as of Jan. 31, according to neighbours. A “moving sale” sign, with “Now-Jan. 31/11” scrawled underneath sat in front of the home. As she watched the home burn, one happy neighbour—who didn’t want to be named— said: “I’m so glad because I’m 80 years old and have lived here since 1948. I’ve never had such a horrible year as this year with this [house].

ing is and why it’s important to us,” she said. “I wanted them to work with parents but not to damage relationships.” Jones said he hadn’t had a chance to find out how his fellow administrators feel about the stand their provincial association has taken against the test and probably wouldn’t before the end of FSA testing on Feb. 25. Although he believes politics around the FSA have hampered its effectiveness as a tool, he said Chilliwack principals and vice principals will continue to encourage participation. “We have a really good working relationship with our board,” he said, “and part of our employment is to do the best we can at having all students participate in the FSA regardless of our individual point of view, so that’s what we’ll do.” FSA testing began on Jan. 17 and will continue until Feb. 25. Results and test booklets will be sent home to parents by March 3.

◗ Opinion

Lots of bullies waiting in line “Red Rover, Red Rover, we call...” The entire team stopped breathing for a moment, staring across at the line of beefy youngsters at the other end of the field, waiting for the pronouncement... waiting for the next victim to be identified. Who would the opposing team “call over”? And then it came. The name was called out across the distance separating the two groups of boys... and often, the name was mine. And my stomach would churn once again. This is how the game was played: two of the biggest, strongest kids in school—eternally team captains —picked over all the kids, dividing us into two teams, until the entire pool was exhausted. All the members of each team linked arms or held hands, the two teams forming facing lines at either end of the schoolyard. Then the two groups each took turns “calling over” someone from the other side. The individual who got the call had to run across the field, charging the opposing team’s line, preferably at the weakest point. If he broke through the line, he could steal any member out of that line and bring the prisoner back across the field, to become an addition to the opposing linked chain. If he failed to break through the line, he stayed, and was added to the “enemy” line.

BOB GROENEVELD

Be Our Guest I hated the game. Physically, I was a late-developing child. I was a wimpy little runt in the third grade (no snide comments about my current physical condition, please). I was a sure-fire capture in Red Rover. My under-sized body was no match for the bruisers who invariably populated the enemy line. I was never able to break through. I never brought home a prisoner. I always became one. That meant that I was always last or next-to-last to be picked when the teams were lined up. But once the game started, I was picked time and time again to charge the enemy line, get captured and assimilated, and then be called over, to be captured again by my former allies. In fact, I had no allies. I had only enemies. And for all the effort I was able to put into my own attacks when I was called over, my teammates might as well have thrown their bellybutton lint at the opposing line. Running across the field took a tremendous effort, knowing that I could do little more than break my

own body on the clasped wrists awaiting me. Worse still, when the enemy came charging, he always chose to break through at the weakest point in our line—me. The strategy for securing the line was always to put the wimpiest kid between the team’s two toughest kids—who grasped my wrists hard enough to crush my bones. Everyone knew that it was up to them, not me, to thwart the enemy’s attacks. And each attack was a study in pain. In retrospect, it’s amazing to me that the only bone I ever broke in my childhood was my collarbone —and not while playing Red Rover, but during a game of pick-up baseball. But the real pain of it all was knowing that, only because I was physically small (and being one of the smartest kids in class didn’t help), my classmates would have been happier if I didn’t play at all. I hated the game. But at seven or eight or nine years of age, your only choices are to play... or to be completely on your own... outcast. And that’s no choice at all. There are many ways to bully. It can even be dressed up as a game. There’s nothing new about bullying. ◗ Bob Groeneveld is editor of the Langley Advance.

t’s going to be difficult to notice when we actually do have a federal election, seeing as how the campaigning has carried on so interminably since at least 2006. Attack ads have started running on television, and rumours are now circulating that an official campaign is just weeks away. Either way, a half-decade of pointless name-calling later, the stories are still the same. The Liberals say the Conservatives are a bunch of ogres with all sorts of nefarious schemes ready to hatch should they win a majority, and the Tories say Grit leader Michael Ignatieff is an opportunistic dilettante ready to leap into bed with whatever socialists and separatists will help him pursue the amusing hobby called leading our nation. Both Ignatieff and Prime Minister Stephen Harper have been busy lately trying to debunk each other’s notions, with Ignatieff bringing his best hand-shaking populism to targeted ridings, and Harper sitting down with the CBC to insist his sleeves are free of surprises. Of course, they both took the opportunity to say nasty things about each other, too. It is an occupational hazard of this constant semi-election, but it’s disappointing that our public figures still can’t find it in themselves to be civil. Trash the policy, but not the person. We all respect athletes for being gracious with their competitors, so why can’t we demand this of our public figures? Our failure to do so is what has led to this dumbing-down of our debate. Harper and Ignatieff are both supremely talented people who have done much they can be proud of in their lives. Both will be remembered as great Canadians. But it would be a surpassing achievement if they could publicly acknowledge this in each other.

Mistakes of a few may harm all

Submitted photo

Louis De Jaeger is shown here with sled dogs Yukon and Juneau. De Jaeger runs the dogs, who come from a long line of sled dogs from Bridge Lake, B.C., solely for exercise and fun.

Editor: The slaughter of 100 healthy Husky sled dogs by Whistler Outdoor Adventures is disturbing at the very least. I am appalled and saddened that the needless slaughter of an animal that has had such a bond with man for hundreds of years, an animal that warmed our children’s beds, an animal that sounded the alarm when we were asleep, and helped us carve the many trade routes throughout B.C. Dogsledding has been a part of Canadian culture for hundreds of years, a part of my Métis aboriginal heritage. These animals deserve the same respect they show us, and the culling comes post2010 Olympics that featured all of the aboriginal peoples of Canada. This is an insult to a long-celebrated aboriginal tradition, a Canadian tradition. The criminals responsible for this horrific act must be held accountable. Now is the time for the many groups who work with these animals to come forward and help restore dogsledding to the humane and respectable sport it deserves. The call by the BCSPCA to stop all dogsledding in B.C. is concerning, and it seems the mistakes of a few could harm the greater good of all. Louis De Jaeger Chilliwack

Her lengthy arguments made me wonder if the whole matter didn’t boil down to a case of dollars and cents, unless she really doesn’t like the sight of a beautiful, well-developed tree, often alive with the twitter of little feathered folk. So much vitriol for no good reason at all. Unlike Mrs. LaChance, I wish Mrs. Douglas were my neighbour, because I too love trees. Trees: the lungs of the earth. Roberta Boss Chilliwack

What did trees ever do to her? Editor: Re: Mrs. M. LaChance’s tirade against trees. One would tremble at the thought of what horrific acts some tree must have committed to enrage Mrs. M. LaChance. The following quote from Touch the Earth by T.C. McLuhan, sums up my feelings: “It is not Christ who is crucified now; it is the tree itself, and on the bitter gallows of human greed and stupidity, only suicidal morons, in a world already choking to death, would destroy the best natural air-conditioner creation affords . . . the tree.” S. Hayes Chilliwack

So much vitriol, Maybe she no good reason should move Editor: I applauded Lynn Douglas’s very well-thought-out appeal for better tree protec-

Editor: In regards to Mrs. LaChance’s letter listing all the “problems” with having trees.

When I’m in the local mountains, why am I not besieged by fungus, disease, bugs, and moths? Although one must be aware when in the bush when it’s windy, I’ve never had a tree fall on me. As for things not growing in the shade, that would explain the dense undergrowth in forested areas whereas hardly anything grows in a desert region. Perhaps Mrs. LaChance should consider moving to an area where there is not so many of these problematic trees. Mike Dobson Chilliwack

Better re-read your Bible Editor: As it is clear Kathleen McCune adheres to an interpretation of Christianity she perceives as a licence to judge others, I would remind her of the Letter of Paul to the Church at Rome. Most of us will be wearily familiar of the use of verses from the first chapter of this Letter as a cudgel for the bashing of alternative sexualities. What some of us forget, however, is the Letter’s intent in this instance, which was to forbid the cultic practices of the Pagan Temple, some of which were sexual. The Letter does not refer to homosexuality, as we now understand it, at all. In addition, the verses following this beloved prooftext of rebuke, place it in a perspective Ms. McCune should hold in mind when taking up that cudgel for the purpose of insisting that “reparative therapy” (the conversion of gay people into the supposed default sexuality) is, in any way, desirable or effective.

Don’t need your kind of caring Editor: Dear Ms. McCune: You are, without a doubt, entitled to your own opinion, but I wonder what makes you think you can judge a person’s life? What makes you think you know how they feel, how they live? Have you ever stopped to think about the hardships they may endure? Or maybe they really didn’t have a choice in the life they are living? Maybe if you took the time to be less ignorant, more understanding, you’d realize that we don’t just wake up one day deciding to be GLBT. This is who we are, just as much as you’re heterosexual. I also wasn’t aware that everyone of the GLBTQ community was facing such “loneliness, self rejection, and sickness of mind and body;” do heterosexual people not face these? Evidently these feelings stem because of ignorance and intolerance. But you would know best, wouldn’t you Ms. McCune? I have a voice, and I certainly don’t need you to speak for me. I will be the judge of the life I’m living, the feelings I feel, and whether or not my “lifestyle” is a healthy one. This “hope” that you speak of for us “individuals,” I have that for you as well, that one day you’ll realize this isn’t a choice. I’d much rather stay “trapped” in my “unhappy” and “unhealthy lifestyle” than seek out this “help” that you hope we will choose to find; but hey, thanks for thinking you know my life and what’s best for me.

chapter two of the Letter, Paul writes: “Therefore you have no excuse, whoever you are, when you judge others; for in passing judgement on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, are doing the very same things.” I would counsel Ms. McCune to read through verse 11 of chapter two, for it further illuminates judgement as a locus of sin from which other sins rapidly grow.

Faith Today BY RON VAN AKKER Cnetral Community Church

re you fun to live with? This was one of the first questions I heard from my internship supervisor on my first day at work. I must admit I was more than a little taken aback by this question. I had never been asked that question before so my answer didn’t come easily. This one simple question became the question I would be asked every day of my internship: “Are you fun to live with?” By the end of my sixmonth stint I found myself able to respond without hesitation: “Of course, are you?” When you think about it is a pretty good question. I’ve been a pastor for almost 25 years now

Are you fun to live with? and during that time I have come to discover that many of the problems in marriage, trouble with families, strife in business and challenges in the church find simple resolution, or could have been avoided altogether if we could authentically answer with an affirmative response: “Yes I am.” Too often people fail to exude a life characterized by joy. Without thinking about the consequences, we live in default mode expressing to others our internal bitterness, disappointment, and judgment. Sadly, and to our shame, this is all too often especially true of the

Christian community. Instead of living out of the joy we’ve been given through our relationship with Jesus, we live as if God intended us to be agents of bitterness and judgment. All too readily we serve as judge and jury to the world. This is too our shame. Over the course of this past year I’ve witnessed people who have determined to share their wrath with others rather than striving to exude joy. Painfully, I have observed individuals tear families apart as they have become agents of anger instead of joy. I have listened as parents have

sacrificed their children on the altar of selfishness all because they have given themselves over to bitterness instead of joy. I wonder what difference it would make if they had given themselves to daily answering the simple yet profound question: “Are you fun to live with?” Writing to the Philippians, Paul, a man who had a radical encounter with Jesus that moved him from bitterness to joy, recounts what the Christian community should be like. He calls us, and invites others, to embrace a life that displays a radical transformation. “Rejoice in

the Lord always,” Paul says, “and I’ll say it again rejoice.” You will notice that it is a derived joy. It is joy that comes from celebrating Jesus more than we fixate on the challenges of life. It doesn’t mean we take a flippant attitude to life’s problems, but it does mean that we put the problems into perspective. It calls for us to examine our attitudes and actions and to ask the simple question: “Am I fun to live with?” Paul goes on to say that a life lived from the perspective of joy is a life that displays gentleness, confidence, cheerfulness, and peace. Looking at your life, do these characteristics mark your life? Simply put: “Are you fun to live with?”

Up for the Challenge Recovering addicts pitching in to build homes for Haiti

pero Society and Spero Industries are giving recovering addicts at Yarrowbased Teen Challenge a “hand up” while building homes for people left homeless after last January’s earthquake in Haiti. HAITI, from page 4 out the house’s floor plan on the Spero plant parking lot.) Besides stressing the importance of including a porch and making the design termite proof, he also convinced Spero to stucco the house inside and out to make it more culturally acceptable than some of the other shelters (everything from steel containers to fiberglass igloos) being introduced into the country. “A lot of it has to do with just pride,” said Vermeer. “There’s a lot of UN-sanctioned shelters that you probably wouldn’t put your pet in, and you’re telling people that that’s where they’re going to be living. A lot of people are opting not to.” Each three-bedroom house costs $3,800

Teen Challenge clients, whose rehabilitation program includes a work-detail component, will spend three days a week training and working at the Spero aluminum railing plant manufacturing frames and trusses for three-bedroom duplexes destined for Haiti. “The idea is they’ll learn aluminum cutting, welding, grinding, assembly work, shipping and receiving,” said Spero Society executive director Jack Robertson, “and that’ll look pretty good on their resume when they’re going out looking for a job.”

Raising money including shipping, and so far Spero has raised $10,500 of the $57,000 needed to send their first 15-house container. Getting that first shipment off the ground is key, according to Robertson; after that, he is confident the project will take on a life of its own. “Once the houses are up and people are living in them, then the other organizations will come,” he said. “They’ll see what’s happening; they’ll see how it works and the snowball will start to roll.” ◗ For more information visit www.sperosociety.ca.

It’s Time to Plan for Spring! KELMOR MAKES IT EASY!

Even while many parts of the country are still under a blanket of snow (with more in the forecast!) the calendar tells us that spring is in fact, on the way. It’s easy to forget how close it is, but for everyone hoping to put in a garden this spring, there are some things you can do to get your garden ready for the warmer days of spring. Start planning how you want your outdoor space to look and how much time you will be able to spend working on it throughout the year. Your yard can be low or high maintenance depending on your preferences and the choices you make now. Next week – What to do when the danger of frost is behind us.

Seventy Pounds No stopping slide Lighter and Bruins losing streak Loving it. stands at six games Wayne Moore/Castanet

Kelowna Rocket Mitchell Callahan and Chilliwack Bruin Curt Gogol jaw at each other during Wednesday’s game. The two fought just 45 seconds into the B.C. Division contest.

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

he Chilliwack Bruins fought the Kelowna Rockets and the men in stripes on Wednesday and, as usually happens when the referees become involved, lost to both. After spending much of the year within a point or two of each other in the standings, Chilliwack and Kelowna are now heading in very different directions. Chilliwack’s 6-4 defeat to the Rockets was the Bruins’ sixth straight loss, while the victory was Kelowna’s seventh game in a row, leaving them now in fifth place and 14 points ahead of the ninth place Bruins. It seemed, at least in the first couple minutes, like the Bruins luck had changed. A wicked bounce off the boards behind Rockets goalie Adam Brown sent the puck straight onto the backhand of Mike Forsyth, who had a yawning cage into which he shovelled the puck. It was one of those fortuitous turns that seem to arise when you’re winning. Until you aren’t. Cody Chikie scooped up a turnover and tied the game for Kelowna a couple minutes later, but Kevin Sundher restored the Bruins lead midway through the period by backhanding a rebound past Brown. Then the wheels fell off the bus in the second (although head coach Marc Habscheid would

probably argue that the refs loosened the lug nuts). Kelowna tied the game three minutes into the period, then took the lead on an Evan Bloodoff shorthanded marker at the 8:40 mark. Six seconds later the Bruins’ penalty box parade commenced. It actually started in fine fashion; Ryan Howse was sent to the sin bin for slashing, but with the teams playing four-on-four Robin Soudek danced past two Rockets and lost the puck only to watch as Roman Horak scooped it up and fired it into the net. But just a few minutes later Forsyth and then Tyler Stahl found themselves sharing the penalty box. Chilliwack killed the five-on-three but Bloodoff scored his second of the game with Stahl still in the box to give the Rockets the lead. Before the play resumed, two more Bruins were sitting in the box after Curt Gogol and then head coach Marc Habscheid were handed unsportsmanlike conduct minors. The Rockets capitalized on their second straight two-man advantage and took a 5-3 lead into the final period. An empty net goal by Kelowna sealed the victory before Horak scored his second of the game with a minute left. ◗ The Bruins play a home-in-home series Friday and Saturday against the eighth-place, and also struggling, Kamloops Blazers. Kamloops is one point ahead of Chilliwack but has played four more games. The teams play in Kamloops Friday, before squaring off at Prospera Centre Saturday. Both games start at 7 p.m.

“The best part about the weight that I’ve lost with SureSlim is that I have the energy to keep up with my 6 year old son. We can play and be more active, and of course it is exciting that I can buy all new clothes. I have more conﬁdence to do and try many things that I wouldn’t have done before!!”

Jock scraps Flip City in Langley. Chilliwack’s Ella Palmer won an all-around silver in the Kip 2 division. She was joined on the podium by teammate Ella Contant, who claimed an all-around bronze in the same division. Jessica Gibson meanwhile captured first place on beam in P3 Tyro. The girls put their skills to the test again this weekend at a meet at Omega Gymnastics in Coquitlam. Attack win and move on The Chilliwack U-15 Attack travelled to William Griffin Turf in North Vancouver last weekend for a must-win game against the North Shore GSC Adrenalin with the victor moving on to the Coastal Cup Sweet 16. The Attack started slowly, and just four minutes in, an Adrenalin striker rocketed the ball into the back of the Attack net. Faced with scoring two goals to move on, the Attack

settled down into a defensive struggle with the Adrenalin. Both teams had a ball strike the goal post before the ball was cleaned away by the defence. Dani Cherniwchan, Haley Henderson, Leah Cairns and Krista Bartel forced the Adrenalin keeper to make quality saves, but the half ended with the Attack down a goal. The Attack came out after half time focused on the task at hand, and at the 22-minute mark the Attack was awarded a free kick from about 25 yards out on the right side of the Adrenalin goal. MacKenzie Graham made a short touch pass to Jenna Snow who made no mistake as her powerful kick ended up in the back of the Adrenalin net. The Attack continued to press for the winner and, with seven minutes left in the contest, Megan Kelly silenced all the spectators with a highlightreel goal. With the Adrenalin pressing for the equalizer, a Chilliwack counter attack resulted in the a direct penalty kick, which Snow neatly converted. With the 3–1 victory, the Attack will be moving on to the Coastal Cup final which starts on April 2.

Grizzlies roar in the rankings The G.W. Graham senior boys basketball team jumped to second place in provincial AA rankings this week after knocking off topranked Lambrick Park and third-ranked Southridge at a tournament on Vancouver Island last weekend. The Grizzlies upset Victoria’s Lambrick Park 88-83 in game two of the Brentwood College Countdown to the Playoffs Tournament and went on to beat Southridge (South Surrey) 70-59 in its third before dropping a 68-52 decision to now-topranked Holy Cross (Surrey). After chalking up two more league wins this week against R.E. Mountain (7454) and Abbotsford Traditional (90-80), the Grizzlies head into the last two games of the regular season next week undefeated.

Slow start dooms U-15 Silver Strikers

hilliwack U-15 Silver Strikers girls fell 2-0 to the second-place Coquitlam Fusion last weekend. Chilliwack was slow to get started in this one with a number of injured and sick players taking the field. Though the locals held their own in both the defensive and offensive zones, the midfield belonged to Coquitlam, who were first to the ball and set up a number of rushes off the turnovers. At the 26-minute mark of the first half, Coquitlam got on the board when a ball that deflected off a Chilliwack defender to the

top of the 18 and a Fusion Striker one-timed it into the top corner of the net. The second half saw a more co-ordinated, team attack by the Strikers as they penetrated the stingy Fusion defence a number of times, only to be turned aside by the opposing keeper. A meltdown by the Chilliwack squad on a clearing attempt in their own 18-yard box sealed their fate. A deflection and a rebound left the ball with an unguarded Fusion striker who slammed it into the back of the net to seal the victory.

t the halfway point in the inaugural season at Chilliwack’s new cultural centre, things have been going even better than expected, according to those behind the scenes. Since opening the centre with the Red Carpet Affair in September, over 19,000 tickets have been sold valued at more than $326,000. That is equivalent to 56 sold-out performances at the old arts centre, and exceeds initial projections. “We’ve had a successful opening half of our initial season, and we are on target in terms of our budgeting and overall use projections for the cultural centre,” said Dave Stephen, president of the Chilliwack Arts and Cultural Centre Society, which oversees operation of the community facility on behalf of the City of Chilliwack. “It’s our first progress report; and the signs are positive. Our show programming seems to be a good fit, and we’ve been pleased with the response from audiences and the community. We are also very grateful for the

A big part of the activity at the centre has been programs and shows presented by the core key partners.

The Chilliwack Academy of Music, the centre’s other core partner, is now equipped to teach vocal and instrumental lessons to potentially 1,000 students under one roof. The Chilliwack Art Gallery, curated by the Chilliwack Visual Artists Association (CVAA), formally opened in late September to an enthusiastic crowd of over 400 art supporters and has since welcomed approximately 4,000 visitors to their exhibits.

the Chilliwack Players Guild, the resident theatre company for the cultural centre. “Now, our technical and creative options for productions are endless, with space in the wings and on stage we have never experienced before. You just cannot put a value on that,” says guild president Malcolm Mincher. “Noises Off and Mother Goose—The Pantomime, were both extremely positive experiences when working with the technical staff, Centre Box Office and marketing team.” Additional goals reached include the number of first year donations received for both the Take Your Seat fundraiser, and the 88 Key Club fundraisers. There are still plenty of theatre seats and piano keys waiting to be purchased and named. Many of the successes mentioned are made possible only through the tremendous volunteer support the Cultural Centre has received from the community. About 150 Chilliwack and area residents have stepped up to ensure patrons experience the finest customer service.

For three weeks hip-hoppers from Chilliwack and across the Lower Mainland took part in the 8-Mile Freestyle Competition at Industry Night Club. The three-round competition was judged by Vancouver hip-hop group Global Syndicate and the winner opened up for Eminem’s D12 crew out of Detroit on Jan. 27 at Industry. The first round featured MCs facing off against one another in an a capella one-on-one battle format. Round two was freestyle rapping overtop one-minute bursts of instrumental hip-hop. And in round three, those left performed pre-written songs. Photographer Justin Langille was at Industry on Jan. 20 and captured images of Chilliwack’s own split2nd (right) from the 7side crew as well as the eventual winner, Vancouver-based Makk Murda (left).

Flight Centre Adventure Travel Backgrounder

Adventure travel is a type of tourism, involving exploration or travel to remote, exotic and possibly hostile areas. Adventure tourism is rapidly growing in popularity, as tourists seek different kinds of vacations. The widespread appeal of adventure travel television programs such as The Amazing Race and Mantracker, have also inspired many Canadians to spread their travelling wings beyond the all-inclusives. According to the U.S. based Adventure Travel Trade Association, adventure travel may be any tourist activity, including two of the following three components: a physical activity, a cultural exchange or interaction and engagement with nature.

Adventure tourism gains much of its excitement by allowing travellers to step outside of their comfort zone. This may be from experiencing culture shock or through the performance of acts, that require significant effort and involve some degree of risk (real or perceived) and/or physical danger. This may include activities such as mountaineering, trekking, bungee jumping, mountain biking, rafting, zip-lining and rock climbing. Some obscure forms of adventure travel include disaster and ghetto tourism. Other rising forms of adventure travel include social and jungle tourism. Access to inexpensive consumer technology, with respect to Global Positioning Systems, flashpacking, social networking and photography, have increased the worldwide interest in adventure travel. The interest in independent adventure travel has also increased as more specialist travel websites emerge offering previously niche locations and sports. Adventure travel, tours and vacation packages deliver experiences such as trekking in Peru, backpacking in Costa Rica, taking a safari in Kenya or exploring the pyramids of Egypt. Touring adventures can range from a one day walking tours to multi-destinations guided trips. Adventure sightseeing tours, travel deals, and excursions will take you off the beaten path with tour operators such as GAP Adventures, On the Go Tours, and Intrepid Travel. Hot Destinations:

Peru

Peru is a large country on the Pacific coast of South America, encompassing a desert coastline, tropical rainforest and soaring mountains, each with distinct environments. These offer an exceptional opportunity for travelers to experience a variety of landscapes, an abundance of wildlife, a rich history and archeological heritage, and the vivacious character of durable native cultures, all within one nation.

Fishing villages, fine beaches, agricultural lands, and Peru’s major towns and cities, including the capital of Lima, are interspersed along the narrow belt of desert coastline that stretches the length of the country. The lush Amazon Basin takes up half of Peru and is an ecologically rich area of tropical rainforest that encompasses some of the world’s most remote and least explored areas, sparsely populated and for the most part, inaccessible. Separating the coastal desert from the jungle is the splendid Andes mountain range, an endless chain of soaring peaks over 22,000ft (7,000m), and home to millions of indigenous highland people, speaking the ancient Inca language of Quechua, and living in traditional villages with steeply terraced agricultural fields, with their wandering herds of llamas and alpacas. An interesting history of ancient civilisations, tales of lost cities, undiscovered treasures, and unsolved mysteries make Peru one of the most exciting countries to visit. Travellers can marvel at the sophistication of pre-Colombian cultures and explore the many legacies left by the imperial Inca Empire, particularly the ancient Inca capital of Cuzco. Hiking along the legendary ancient royal Inca highway brings visitors to the awesome, majestic ‘Lost City of the Incas’, Machu Picchu. Boats transport tourists to the unique floating islands and the traditional world of the island people on Lake Titicaca. Travellers can wander around splendid colonial cities that have preserved their Spanish architecture, look into the depths of the world’s deepest canyon, and contemplate the intriguing mystery of the Nazca Lines. Peru, ‘Land of the Incas’, offers a stimulating and rewarding travel experience and is one of the most diverse and exhilarating of the South American destinations.

Thailand

From idyllic, unspoiled beaches with turquoise seas and pure, white sands to bustling cities sporting exotic markets and a vibrant, colorful nightlife, it is easy to see why Thailand has become one of the most popular tourist destinations for the adventurous and young at heart. A turbulent, and often bloody history has left Thailand scattered with ruins, forgotten temples and deserted cities that reveal a rich tableau of past eras to those willing to explore. Thailand’s booming tourist economy, driven largely by Hollywood (the country has been the setting for The Man with the Golden Gun, The Bridge over River Kwaiand most recently Alex Garland’s The Beach) has resulted in the opening of a number of expensive and luxurious international hotels. Those looking for the rustic splendour of the beaches and islands will find plenty of cheap and comfortable accommodation. The size and geographical diversity of Thailand provides for a variety

of activities. Snorkelling, diving and a host of watersports are very popular around the Islands, while inland enthusiasts can trek into the mountains or cycle across the flat river areas of the northeast.

Kenya

Kenya is the ‘Land of the Lion King’and sits at the center of the African safari experience, with an outstanding variety of wild animals and Big Five viewing opportunities. Although safaris are its greatest attraction, it is a country of great diversity with much more to offer than splendid wildlife. Essentially it is a place for outdoor living - the coast offers beaches and water-based activities, the mountains present a challenge to hikers and climbers, and the rolling savannahs are a game-viewers paradise.

The country sits astride the equator and offers fabulous scenery and a variety of tribal cultures. From its central location, the sacred peaks of Mt Kenya reign over a landscape primarily covered by grasslands and thorn trees, much of it enclosed within its many parks and reserves. To the west the spectacular Great Rift Valley is sprinkled with lakes teeming with a variety of birdlife, whose shores and surrounds are traversed by agricultural farmlands. To the east lies the promise of an idyllic beach holiday with the requisite white palm-fringed beaches and pristine coral reefs. Inhabiting the highlands and Rift Valley are two of the most well known of the numerous tribal cultures, the Kikuyu farmers and the tall, red-clad Masai cattle herders. The coast is home to ancient Swahili civilisations and old port towns that are rich in a history of exotic spice trading and fighting.

1 866 720 4853 from different cultures evident in the character of its towns, as well as in the architecture and food. The quaint town of Hoi An, once a major trading port, boasts the perfectly preserved architectural influences of the Asian merchants from the north, while the broad leafy boulevards of the capital Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are reminiscent of France. Menus offer Chinese variations of spring rolls, steamed dumplings and noodles. Hué is the old imperial capital of Vietnam with its royal palaces and palatial mausoleums, and nearby the battle sites of the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ) are reminders of the brutality of war.

Kenya has a sophisticated tourism infrastructure, with two major cities controlling the majority of the tourism trade. Nairobi, the capital, is the safari and hiking hub, situated in the cool Central Highlands, while on the east coast the hot and humid trading port of Mombasa functions as the gateway to the resorts and pristine beaches of the area. Sadly the heavy influence of tourism has meant excessive prices for safaris, souvenirs and most activities of interest to foreigners, as well as the constant hassle by touts, guides and sellers to part with as much money as they can dupe the guilty traveler into spending. Despite this, the people are friendly and visitors can choose to do as little or as much as they like, and the combination of wildlife, together with its beaches and mountains, make Kenya a fantastic holiday destination.

Vietnam

Verdant patchworks of rice paddies, pointed lampshade-style hats, a country ravaged by war, and economic repression - these are the international images of Vietnam, seen on worldwide television and read about in the newspapers. But there are other scenes to be found, ones of natural beauty, ethnic culture, and imperial history, of timeless traditional villages, idyllic sea resorts and dynamic cities.

Shaped like an elongated ‘S’, Vietnam stretches along the east coast of the Indo-Chinese Peninsula and is likened by its people to a long bamboo pole hung with two baskets of rice, represented by the two fertile regions at either end of the country. Between the lush Red River Delta and the highlands in the north, known for their magnificent scenery and colorful hill tribes, and the agricultural plains and floating markets of the Mekong Delta in the south, lie miles of white sandy beaches, towering mountains, rivers and dense forests, and the thousands of bizarre rock and cave formations on the islands of Halong Bay. The impact of Japanese and Chinese trade, French occupation and American intervention has left its stain on Vietnam, smeared over a period of more than two thousand years of recorded history. However, the country has also been left with a vivid legacy

FIRKUS, Winnifred

BUY - SELL - SWAP

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Winnifred Irene Firkus, age 71 years, on Monday, January 31, 2011 at Chilliwack General Hospital surrounded by her husband and three sons. She was born at New Westminster and is survived by her husband Gordon Firkus; 3 sons Ray, Leonard and Paul Firkus; 5 grandchildren Kelsey, Kyle, Caleb, Jason & Lauren Firkus; mother-inlaw Maria Firkus; and brother & step-sister Steven Cooper and Colleen MacGregor. She was predeceased by her mother and father Ada & Stephen Cooper. After graduating from Nurses training, Winnifred went on to dedicate her life to serving others: first as an O.R. Nurse and later as a loving mother committed to raising her children. Tireless in energy she lived her life much larger than her 5’2” frame would suggest. Win loved to travel and explore yet cut her dream European adventure short in order to come home and be with her other love, Gordon whom she soon married thereafter. Raising 3 sons (and a husband!), Win kept herself very busy from soccer practices to sewing Halloween costumes to gardening to serving as a Scout leader for many years. She remained active with the Airport Flying Club all the while supporting Gordon and Firkus Aircraft Servicing. One did not have to earn Win’s trust – they always had it until proven otherwise. Win beat 2 rounds of breast cancer before succumbing to the effects of Alzheimer’s in her final years. She imparted a spirit and tenacity on everyone she met and will remain a source of inspiration to her children & grandchildren. She will be sorely missed by all. A Memorial Service will be held on Monday February 7th, 2011 from 2:00-3:00 pm at Henderson’s Funeral Home, 45901 Victoria Avenue, Chilliwack, B.C. Reception is to follow at the Chilliwack Flying Club. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society – Chilliwack Branch, 9136 Young Road, Chilliwack, B.C.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Cancer June 21-July 22: The emphasis lies on mysteries, sex, intimacy, research, large finances, lifestyle, crucial health matters, commitment – anything that can change your life deeply (usually another person is involved). This month, these changes tend to work through your ambitions, career, or status situations. E.g., a “status” wedding changes your life and finances. Or a career opportunity demands a commitment (of $?) from you, and will change your life. (Your career is marked by splendid luck this winter/spring.) Charge ahead SundayWednesday (a happy day!). Retreat, rest, plan Friday eve, Saturday. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Relationships, relocation, dealings with the public, fame, negotiations, litigation, agreements, opportunities and opposition – these fill February. This week, especially Sunday to Tuesday, emphasizes the source of this winter/spring’s good luck: legal, loving, intellectual, international and cultural scenes. Work, health and your duties or ambitions might interfere – these are heading for a deep change and “rebirth.” (It centres on Wednesday, but could occur anytime in February.) Chase your ambitions Wednesday, but avoid conflict, aggression Thursday. Joy, friends, Friday/Saturday! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Work’s essential – get it done. Your efforts, duties (and perhaps health) are tied up with an influence of deep change this month, especially this Sunday to Tuesday. This can manifest as: a sexual affair with a co-worker, investment in your job or tools/machinery, or changes brought about by your job or health – all are agents of change – beneficial change. Money goes better than romance right now. A gentle love floats in Wednesday, but irritation dissipates affection Thursday. (DON’T invest or make big changes this day.) Be ambitious Friday eve, Saturday – success accompanies you!

Aries March 21 - April 19: Lie low, rest Sunday morning. This afternoon to Tuesday your energy and charisma surge – a bit of big luck could come, maybe involving home, relationships or money. (However, don’t push authorities.) Chase money Wednesday to Friday noon – but take care with purchases. Your hopes and your money resources (earnings level, savings) are in conflict – find reality. You might sense, or be offered, a career or status “partnership.” It’s subtle, you have to be intuitive or watch clues. Friday eve, Saturday bring errands, casual friends, curiosity and variety – read, write, talk. Taurus April 20-May 20: The emphasis lies on ambition, career, prestige relationships, your reputation and status. Elements of fantasy/deception, creative ideas and impatient bosses crowd this zone. If you deal with government, large corporations, institutions or charitable agencies, “impatient bosses” will be less of a factor. Be willing, quick to respond – and keep your sense of humour (especially Thursday!). Use Sunday eve through Tuesday for research and planning – get plenty of rest. Your energy surges Wednesday to Friday: display your skills, work hard. Excellent purchases Friday eve, Saturday. Gemini May 21-June 20: The accent lies on gentle love, compassion, broad vision, law, higher education, publishing, far travel and cultural rituals. February 5/6’s sober, realistic love wish is almost sure to come true. But a “sweet confection” love wish, involving beauty, and perhaps involving a Libra or Taurus, is less likely to come true. (Some “destiny” lies in wait for this one – either a wipe-out, or a deep rebirth.) In other ways, Sunday to Tuesday brings wish fulfillment, social delights and happiness. Rest, lie low Wednesday/Thursday. You shine, succeed and attract others, Friday eve, Saturday!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: The emphasis is on romance, creativity, beauty, luck, risk, pleasure, charming kids, sports/games. You’re riding a winning streak – recognize and use it, seize on openings, issue invitations, respond, speak what’s in your heart, etc. Take a chance! The source of your January-to-June luck is highlighted Sunday afternoon through Tuesday: relationships, relocation, negotiation, agreements and contracts, litigation, co-operation. Clue: everything in the first sentence will aid these; but security, property, family will “fight” them. These, security, property, etc., are about to transform. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Be gentle on the home front – spend energy on renovations, repairs, rather than causing family friction. Think back and ahead: decide who should stay in your life, who should leave. Your choices will affect your health and your duties, for good or ill. Your work will expand for the next four months – clues arrive Sunday to Tuesday. Quiet discussions and administrative contacts benefit your efforts, but more adventurous communications (especially of love or competition) will erect barriers to work success – take heed Thursday. Mysteries, intimacy and finances succeed Friday eve, Saturday. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Romance, creativity and a risk-taking mood steal upon you Sunday afternoon to Tuesday – take that risk! But realize money and confidence aid romance/creativity more than wishful thinking does. You might have some puzzles to work out around these: romance, pleasure, money and work.Work definitely faces you Wednesday (success) and Thursday (when work interferes with romance’s communications, or might be dangerous – practise safety). Exciting meetings (and some a bit more stable, boring, with other generations) arrive Friday eve/Saturday: love’s possible! All month, money’s lucky.

Ads continued on next page

Feb. 6 - Feb. 12 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Chase money, buy/ sell, seek lucrative clients – but most importantly (as Sunday to Tuesday might whisper to you) pursue the connection between security and money: e.g., buy or sell real estate, start a retirement fund, put away funds for your children’s education, purchase insurance, spend on new business premises or to expand your territory. Ending unprofitable or stale situations is also a wise move financially. Romance and pleasure call Wednesday (successfully) and Thursday (not – beware “wasted money”). Tackle chores Friday eve, Saturday: you’re ambitious, productive! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness are at a peak! Start important projects, seek favours, call in markers, show yourself in person. You’re very communicative, curious and travel-prone this month – these are emphasized Sunday to Tuesday. A Libra and a Gemini are attracted – the Libran is very serious. A Leo wants to spar – and join. Attend to domestic matters, family and security, property and “territory” Wednesday to Friday afternoon. Don’t be overbearing Thursday p.m. Romance, creative surges and the urge to take a big chance arrive Friday eve, Saturday – yes, plunge in! Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Rest, lie low, contemplate, plan. Be charitable, spiritual. Attend to obligations, committee and administrative chores. (Do taxes?) You will want to be free of these in two weeks when your energy and money luck will soar upward. Let much of your planning involve finances. Money, earnings and possession are highlighted Sunday p.m. through Tuesday – let realism rule fantasy and wishful thinking. Your wishes, however, do have a destined road ahead – something is wiped out or born this week; it changes your future. Careful with money Thursday. Deep rest, good family Saturday. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
