Thieves take up residence in Ryder Lake area

yder Lake has become home to a number of “entrenched criminals” who have taken advantage of the area’s seclusion to set up a base out of which they operate and steal and process copper wire, according to residents and the police. “Ryder Lake has been a busy area for us over the past few months. There is a number of individuals, some of them residing in that area, that we know are involved in criminal activities,” said “It’s secluded, Chilliwack it’s out of the RCMP Sgt.

Marty Blais it’s off the b e a t e n path,” said Blais when asked why Ryder Lake has attracted criminals. “The seclusion offers the individual an opportunity to get involved in criminal activity, to operate with anonymity.” The Mounties’ Crime Reduction Unit has begun focusing on the area, and Blais said several arrests have already been made, including for possession of stolen property, drugs and weapons. Blais spoke to a pair of worried residents Wednesday. “They’re quite concerned of these guys driving up and down See RYDER LAKE, Page 4

GOODBYE BRUINS BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwack

The Chilliwack Bruins are finished. Western Hockey League officials announced Wednesday that the sale of the Bruins to RG Properties has been completed and that the team will play in Victoria next season. The league held a press conference Wednesday at Victoria’s SaveOn Foods Centre in Victoria, to announce the relocation of the Bruins. “This is what Victoria has been waiting for, and we’re very excited to be returning to the city,” said WHL commissioner Ron Robison. “This arena is a perfect fit and Graham Lee has been in relentless pursuit of the WHL ever since plans for the arena were announced 10 years ago. But relocation is never easy and Chilliwack was a good hockey centre..” The press conference marked

◗ Bruins went helmet in hand asking the city for $175,000 in January. See Page 5 ◗ With the sale complete those involved start spreading the blame. See Page 11 the first time Robison had spoken publicly about the sale of the Bruins since March, when he said the league preferred keeping teams in their current locations. Robison and former Bruins owners Brian Burke and Darryl Porter spoke to Chilliwack media, including theTimes, Wednesday evening. Robison said Chilliwack “was a great hockey centre. We think it’s a viable market moving forward. But the circumstances have to be right for it to be successful.” Porter said the owners feel terrible about having to sell and move

the club, but that there was no other option. Porter also said that they are working with the Bruins Pediatric Centre to come to an agreement over the $120,000 the team promised to contribute over 10 years. He said the team is working with the Hospital Board and the two sides will jointly announce a plan soon. As the league announced that the Bruins were moving, workers dismantled the Prospera Centre centre-ice scoreboard and moved desks, tables, banners and even sumo suits into three U-Haul trucks sitting in the middle of the arena. The team will wrap up operations within the next month, and staff will be laid off. The Victoria team will not be named the Bruins. Instead, fans are being invited to submit their suggestions for the team’s nickname.

ducation issues took centre stage at the all-candidates meeting held at the University of the Fraser Valley in Chilliwack on Tuesday night. But the conspicuous absence of Conservative candidate Mark Strahl led off the evening discussion attended by more than 100 students and others. “I think it is completely unacceptable that the Conservatives have made their candidate unavailable,” NDP candidate Gwen O’Mahony said in her opening remarks. The partisan comment led to great applause, as did much of what O’Mahony and Green candidate Jamie Hoskins said, which possibly illustrated why the Tory candidate decided to skip the meeting. All other candidates were in attendance: O’Mahony, Diane Janzen (Liberal), Jamie Hoskins (Green), Dorothy-Jean O’Donnell (Mar xist-Leninist) and Clive Edwards (Western Block). After an introduction by moderator and UFV chancellor Brian Minter, candidates introduced themselves and then answered questions submitted in advance. Questions involved topics including: support for single parents at school, student loan interest costs and loan forgiveness, selling water, Canada’s military, health transfer payments, child poverty and the Alberta oil sands. There were few clashes between the three main candidates, Janzen, See MISSING, Page 13

Nineteen-year-old Cameron Dunphy hopes to live an independent life, despite his Asperger’s syndrome. His mother, Andrea, however, is worried about what the future holds for her son.

Boys to men: an uneasy transition

April is Autism Month. In the coming week, the Times will explore the issues facing the growing number of young adults who have been diagnosed with autism.

hey are young, fit, ambitious and ready to take on the world. If only the world was ready to accept them. Cameron Dunphy and James Lee share an age, a diagnosis (sort of) and a deep desire for independence. Both 19-year-old men are part of a growing wave of men and women (but mostly men) who have been diagnosed with autism and who are now entering adulthood. As they do so, they are leaving behind the relative security of youth for a world of almost unlimited opportunity and just as much disappointment. And

Dunphy—a Chilliwack secondary school graduate—has a flare for fashion and likes to drink, smoke and hang out with friends (whom his mother Andrea dislikes) in Vancouver. He has Asperger’s syndrome, a form of autism. Lee—who grew up in Mission—is a movie buff.

The police and Ryder Lake residents plan to hold a meeting in the coming weeks to discuss the problem criminals and how they might be chased out of the area or arrested. A date has not been set. “Ryder Lake is a ver y remote area and because we have entrenched criminals, some of them residing there, it will be a little bit time consuming but not an impossible task to get these guys out of circulation,” said Blais. At the same time, the nature of the area also makes it easier for residents to spot criminals in their midst. “The strength is the people. They’ve lived there for a while,” he said. “A very small amount of people go in and out of there.” Blais encouraged residents to report any suspicious activity to police. “Anything that doesn’t fit the picture, give us a call and we’ll get out there,” he said. As one example, Blais asked people to watch for an older tan-coloured Buick LeSabre with no licence plate.

City unveils new logo with contemporary feel BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

he City of Chilliwack has a new logo to be used on city documents, correspondence, publications, signage and the website. Council approved the logo presented at its Tuesday meeting. “We’re pleased to have an updated logo that is representative of the City of Chilliwack,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz in a press release issued after the meeting. “The graphic standards and guidelines will ensure a contemporary and cohesive style for the city.”

The logo design work was completed by Chilliwack company Basecamp Creative and cost the city $5,500, according to city hall spokesperson Starlee Renton. The logo’s focal point depicts a stylized, white-capped Mt. Cheam in bright green with two blue streaks underneath, representing the Fraser and Chilliwack/Vedder river systems. The new logo replaces the city’s coat-ofarms used for branding up until now. Renton said beyond the cost of design, the new logo would be of minimal cost to the city as signs and communications materials will simply be replaced as needed.

pen houses looking at the Chilliwack Transit Future Plan are scheduled for April 30 and May 4. The City of Chilliwack and BC Transit have been working on the plan, which is intended to provide a framework for transit improvements proposed in the recently completed Strategic Review of Transit in the Fraser Valley.

The plan will address topics including Agassiz-to-Chilliwack service expansion as well as a local vision for each of the three urban centres. The first open house is at Cottonwood Mall April 30 from 3 to 5 p.m. and the second is at Evergreen Hall May 4 from 4 to 6 p.m. Visit www.chilliwack.com for more info.

or a newspaper editor, I am in a very embarrassing position. I’m undecided. It’s getting close to crunch time, and I still haven’t made up my mind. I can’t bring myself to vote for the Conservative candidate in my riding. He’s a shoo-in anyway, so that revelation is unlikely to drive him to tears. And it’s nothing personal. He’s a nice fellow . . . but I just don’t agree with his politics. The Liberal candidate looking for my vote is also a good, decent, upstanding member of the community. Nice lady. But she’s probably not getting my vote, either, because . . . you guessed it . . . I don’t agree with her politics. The NDP appears to be offering a very personable young fellow, too. but . . . Heck. The truth is, I don’t agree with anybody’s politics. Never have. I have close friends who are or have been politicians, and of practically every political stripe. Even a Communist or two (of the MarxistLeninist variety). We get along just fine. But I don’t agree with their politics. And if I did . . . what would we talk about? You know, I just might vote for the local Pirate Party candidate. All I really know of him is what I learned when he ran for council what may well have been half his

BOB GROENEVELD

Be Our Guest lifetime ago. He was just a kid. To me, politics is more of spectator sport than the participatory variety—I was always lousy at sports when I was a kid—but it impresses the heck out of me when someone that young gets so completely involved. But my contemplation of a Pirate vote isn’t political. It’s ancestral. Donna recently discovered that she is descended from a pirate— not a terribly successful pirate, but a pirate nonetheless. And that’s kind of romantic, don’t you think? Many generations ago, her several-great grandfather joined up with some out-of-work seafarers, got some local bankers to finance them, and bought a boat called the Tyger. And they put some pretty big guns on it. Britain was at odds with France at the time, so they set out to plunder a French vessel. And there she was: ripe for the plucking. Instead of going right at it, however, our would-be privateers decided it would be a good idea to get drunk first—they could catch the rotter in the morning, eh mateys?

Except, when they went looking for the Frenchie in the morning, hungover and feeling right nasty for the job, they discovered the blighter had left port overnight, narrowly escaping what undoubtedly would have been a terrible fate. So this Dutchman, loaded with tobacco, crossed their path… Unfortunately for Donna’s ancestor, the Brits had no quarrel with Holland at the time, and the Dutch wanted their tobacco back. So when the privateers floated their booty into port, instead of a hero’s welcome, they got fined and thrown in jail for 60 days while the Dutchman and cargo were restored to full seaworthiness—at the Tyger’s backers’ expense. The pirate crew disbanded. Mate John Moore (Donna’s several-great grandfather) opened a pub, where he became semifamous for a song he wrote—and often sang—about his piratical exploits . . . well, really only one exploit. See? Now, that’s the kind of guy who might capture my vote. A pirate after my own heart. (Speaking of which: The pirate’s descendent stole my heart in similar fashion, and while I believe my heart is more valuable than a hogshead of tobacco, I consider myself fortunate that she stumbled upon this particular Dutchman and took possession of it.) ◗ Bob Groeneveld is editor of the LangleyAdvance.

hile both violent crime and crime in general continue to decline from year to year, the public’s perception that there is more crime and more violent crime continues to grow. It’s understandable. The media, in general, plays up violent crime and downplays any news when things get better. So, it’s no wonder that Stephen Harper continues to count on “tough on crime” sloganeering to gain support. After all, who wants to be seen to be pro-crime? We almost expected to see a rerun of the infamous Willie Horton campaign ad featured in the U.S. presidential election of 1988. Political history buffs may recall Horton was a convicted murderer allowed out on furlough who then raped a woman. Harper might have been tempted to use Allan Schoenborn as Canada’s Willie Horton. Schoenborn, who killed his three children in 2008, was set for escorted day passes before public outrage triggered a review. We suspect anyone promising to keep Schoenborn in his pyjamas for life would gain support. The Conservatives promise to increase sentences for those criminals we all detest: pedophiles, etc. And they also promise to have more drug testing in prisons. In fact, the Conservatives are all about prisons in their platform. But there is little or no mention of increasing policing or even following recommendations from police organizations. The Conservatives say they will do away with the gun registry contrary to police requests to keep the registry. Police say keeping the registry will help save police lives and citizen lives. But the Tories ignore that advice. Voters deserve more than platforms intended to appeal to their fears. They deserve real reforms to the justice system that will put the victims of people like Schoenborn first and they also need politicians to listen to those who are on the street fighting crime. You can’t say you’re tough on crime and not support those who are actually walking the talk.

All hung up on Colorado call Editor: I am dismayed to say I received a call from Colorado this week. This call was the recorded voice of Diane Janzen running to represent the fine residents of Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon. It never ceases to amaze me how small things can give you big glimpses into a person’s political views and understanding. Now, I am not a fan of the “telemarketer” style campaigning. I find it impersonal and typical of the Liberal campaign machine, but this is not why I write to you today. This style of campaigning is a legitimate and effective tool when wanting to reach the masses, but what I take great offence to is that this call came from area code 303, that’s right, Colorado! So Diane Janzen is using supporters’ dollars and sending them across the border to an American company? Shouldn’t we be spending these dollars here

in Canada? Or better yet, locally? I find it hard to believe that these kinds of services are not available within our community, province, or within our own country at the very least? So, if elected Ms. Janzen where else will you send our dollars, whose economy and job market will you be assisting? To me it’s already clear. Its something small—but it has already solidified to me why I will not be voting for you—and I think your potential constituents ought to consider come election day. Shame on you, Diane Janzen. Bryce Walker Chilliwack

Martin column a criminal act Editor: I hope the Conservative Party paid for their ad on your editorial page on Tuesday entitled “Attack ads work but not these” by John Martin. Considering the column is entitled Crime Matters, I suppose it is accurate in the sense that it is criminal to run that piece of biased drivel as a supposed column on crime. Perhaps the editor might suggest to Mr. Martin that his misuse of his Crime Matters column to spout his own slanted theory on political ads that have nothing to do with crime puts us in the position of questioning everything this man writes. He certainly had no intention to use his column for anything other than his own somewhat bizarre suppositions. It should have been a letter to the editor or a column not related to Crime

Matters. I was going to say how surprised I was that you would run this as a crime column rather than a letter or opinion piece until I remembered that this is a riding where one could run a fence post as a Tory and it would be voted in. Andy Fraser Chilliwack

No way to treat our seniors Editor: I was appalled when I read Tuesday’s article about the seniors’ bus at the Canadian border. Is this any way to treat our seniors? I think not. These people have worked their lives to support and help build our country. More respect is due. When sidearms were approved to be carried by Border Services officers, were they also told to leave their hearts and compassion in the locker when they came on shift? I think senior Border Services officials, and perhaps our new upcoming federal government, should give this a good look. J.Whitwick Chilliwack

Editor: The latest opinion polls suggest Canadians appear unconcerned with Stephen Harper’s dictatorship style of governing and his obsessive control over people, information and spending. This is a prime minister who shuts down parliament when challenged to tell Canadians the facts. Fiscally, Stephen Harper has driven us back into a deep deficit, a deficit that the last Liberal government worked tirelessly for years to eliminate. Remember, nine years of Mulroney? He couldn’t get us out of debt either. The Conservatives are simply incapable of it. Spending $29 billion on military jets is just plain dumb when allocating just $10 or $15 billion on jets would free up much needed funds for health care and education. Is there any question that universal public health care and the right to an education are values most Canadians share? Sadly, the latest polls predicting another Conservative government indicate otherwise. Any elected member, including Mark Strahl, who gets elected under Harper’s banner should prepare to be stifled, slapped and pistol whipped if they promote their own ideas, thoughts or insights on Canada’s path. Stephen Harper proposed changing the government logo and identity on all government correspondence to “The Harper Government”. Gag me Fidel! Coalition is only a dirty word when Mr. Harper uses it. It is part of our parliamentary democratic system. It is power in the hands of the people and that is why Mr. Harper is so afraid of it. Yes, it is time to rise up! It’s time to act. A countrywide rally on a grand scale is in order—a reaffirmation of Canadian values and a clear road map for the future. K. Philps Chilliwack

Faith Today BY EVANS HUNDERMARK Mountain View Church

oesn’t it just drive you crazy when someone promises you something and then doesn’t follow through? It makes me mad! Think about all the claims of commercials on television and imagine, “What would happen if you received everything a product advertised, exactly as it was advertised?” Empty promises huh? They erode your trust in someone, remove your confidence in people and generate feelings of frustration and anger. “How could they promise that without any intention of following through? I can no longer trust them.” Have you ever considered that God made empty promises too? Have you considered that those empty promises, instead of eroding

God’s empty promises trust, secure our faith in God and increase our ability to lean on Him for anything and everything. God, in fact, made two empty promises. Journey with me 2,000 years back to the land of Israel, to a time of oppression, of anger and broken hope because the one that Israel believed would save them from Roman dominance had let them down and was now about to be executed. He was to be nailed to a wooden cross after being beaten and humiliated before the crowds. These events had been spoken about centuries before and carried with them the promises of God’s deliverance and blessing, not from

human bondage and oppression, but from sin, shame and the guilt of a misspent life. These events carried the hope of a life and relationship with a living God, hope of freedom and joy and peace that could not be taken away, ever! Empty promise one: There was the empty cross, a reminder of a debt paid and rendered void. God demanded perfection from us but the sin in our lives rendered us imperfect. The only way to remove that sin was to remove the life that committed the sin. In other words, the payment for sin was death. So high was the penalty because so serious was the sin. Even the small-

est sin before God takes away from His perfection, so sin must be dealt with in a most serious manner. God followed through, but He didn’t impose the penalty on us, He took it on Himself. Jesus, God’s promise for us, died on that cross to pay the price of our sin and set us free from the debt we owed God. The empty cross is a reminder of God’s promise to set us free. Empty promise two: There was an empty tomb. The tomb reminds us that Jesus was more than just a wise teacher or good man. He was and is God, and even death is at His command. Although Jesus died for us, He did not stay dead, but as He

promised His friends, three days after He died, He rose from the dead. With His payment for our debt He therefore gave us hope; hope that we need never fear death as an end to the journey or a painful payment of our debt to God, but a transition to something more wonderful and beautiful than what we have in this life. The empty tomb is the reminder of God’s promise to give us hope. Hope and freedom, without them life is not worth living and is nothing more than a painful endurance. Hope and freedom, something we can all have and experience, it is a promise of God. What does He demand?

Playing the blame game

With two sides of the story being told, the truth behind why the Chilliwack Bruins packed up and left our city will always lie somewhere in between

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

he fate of the Chilliwack Bruins was sealed on Jan. 13, but set in motion more than a year earlier, according to the former owners of the Western Hockey League franchise. No longer bound by confidentiality agreements, those owners and WHL commissioner Ron Robison offered up contrasting takes to media on the demise of the club after its announced sale Wednesday. In 2009, Robison told the league’s b o a rd o f g ov e rnors that the WHL might try and move the next team up for sale to Victoria. Meanwhile, in Chilliwack ticket sales had been sagging ever since the Abbotsford Heat moved in next door. In 20102011, the team would lose money—although how much, and why, is up for dispute. Worse, there were rumblings that there was a possibility that the Heat could become the minor league affiliate of the Vancouver Canucks, which would dramatically increase that team’s middling fortunes. Bruins president Darryl Porter began looking for a way to decrease the club’s expenses over the long-term. Porter asked the operator of Prospera Centre, the Chiefs Development Group (CDG), to give them a substantial deal on the team’s lease. CDG, owned by Moray Keith and Jim Bond, also had a 25 per cent stake in the Bruins, but the two parties couldn’t agree. Keith said the team was asking, essentially, not to pay rent. Porter also went to the City of Chilliwack and asked for a subsidy. Keith and Porter differ on how much of an impact the lease had on the franchise’s viability—and how

much money the team lost. Keith said it turned a substantial profit for four of five years. Porter says the team is in the red. “On a cash basis we’ve been going backwards for the last two and a half years,” he said. Keith also said the Bruins paid $125,000 per year, in line with league guidelines and close to the $95,000 the Chilliwack Chiefs paid when they used the arena. But Porter says there were additional costs, from security to seating to the scoreclock. He said the building cost about $250,000 a year to operate. And while the private-public partnership that was used to fund and operate the building sounded like a good deal when it was first proposed, Porter said the P3 was ill-equipped to deal with the need to change the business model of a hockey team. Porter said that fans, sponsors and the team’s owners “were all victims” of an inflexible arrangement. Keith, though, says Porter’s managerial style was more to blame for the club’s sagging ticket sales than either the lease or the competing Abbotsford Heat. “In meetings with two different groups of Chilliwack business people,” Keith said he heard that “we were having trouble in the way the team was being managed. “We didn’t give up $400,000 of ticket revenue to the Abbotsford Heat. That didn’t happen.” Porter, though, said that corporate sponsorship never decreased during the Bruins’ five years in Chilliwack. He said he’s built many good friendships with sponsors and said attacks on his management of the club stemmed from the dispute with Keith. “I take it as criticism to me and my entire staff,” said Porter.

In early January, Keith says that Bruins president Darryl Porter met with Robison during the World Junior Hockey Championships in Buffalo, N.Y. “Robison told [Porter] point blank that if they wanted to sell, they had to sell to Victoria,” said Keith. Shortly thereafter, on Jan. 13, owners Brian Burke, Porter, Glen Sather and Jim Bond participated in a teleconference. What happened over the phones is disputed. Burke and Porter were adamant that there was unanimous approval to sell the team and negotiate solely with RG Properties, which wanted to buy the team and move it to Victoria. “I went home to my wife and said ‘Our life just changed,’” Porter recounted Wednesday. But Keith told the Times that Bond came away not thinking a decision had been made and no vote was taken. He also said CDG had a standing offer to buy the club dating back to November 2010. Porter said that he knew of no such offer and that there was no ambiguity as to CDG’s willingness to sell. Robison also said the agreement was unanimous. “It was agreed by the ownership group and the league that it would be in our best interest to relocate the franchise if the franchise was going to be available for sale.” In March, Porter told the Times that the owners were weighing “multiple offers.” The owners were, however, negotiating with only one other partner. On Wednesday he apologized for the misleading statements, saying that he was trying to respect a confidentiality agreement and that there was still a possibility that the team wouldn’t be sold to RG Properties. “I still had some belief that we

would be enticing other offers,” he said. He was, however, unhappy that news of the team’s sale became public before a deal had been concluded. “I think this was very unfair to stakeholders,” he said. Porter said the news, as it was released, worried staff, but that “they’ve stuck together as a group.” He said that, ideally, the deal would have been kept under w ra p s u n t i l t h e sale of the club was announced. Asked if that would have blindsided staff, Po r t e r s a i d “we stick together.” “It’s been a very frustrating couple of months because we’ve been unable to comment . . . and we’ve taken bullet after bullet after bullet,” said Porter. He said he was hurt by criticism of his management of the team. “It’s been very difficult on my family, and the last two months have been the worst two months in my life.” Robison also admitted to fudging the facts in March, when news of the team’s pending sale first broke. At that point, he said the league hadn’t been notified that a sale was in the works. OnWednesday he conceded that they had. “We can’t be in a position where we’re releasing all that information. If it’s an inaccurate comment, I’ll take responsibility for that but, we were bound by confidentiality agreements.” Robison was also asked if fans of other WHL teams should be worried about their team’s stability. “If a market’s not performing and we can’t envision it to be viable, there’s always a possibility of relocation,” he said.

O’Mahony also spoke of growing income he three Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon candidates for the NDP, the Liberals disparity between the rich and the poor and the Conservatives talked about since the 1970s. Conservative Mark Strahl focused on his federal election issues at a meeting of the Probus Club of Chilliwack Tuesday morning life experience that makes him suitable for office, something that has dogged him over at the Coast Hotel.

O’Mahony and Hoskins, but some divergent policy positions emerged. Janzen talked about her party’s $1 billion Canadian Learning Passport, which provides up to $4,000 for post-secondary students and up to $6,000 for low-income students. She also addressed the Liberals’ Family Care Plan and a promise to increase employment insurance from six to 26 weeks for Canadians who take care of elderly family members. O’Mahony addressed her party’s promise to cap credit card interest rates at five per cent above prime, something she said would help students who have credit cards pushed on them at university. She also addressed high pharmaceutical costs. Hoskins addressed access to education, affordability and availability of childcare. He also talked about cutting subsidies to companies in the Alberta oil sands. Candidates were also asked about the most pressing issues in the riding. Janzen said it was the $56 billion deficit the Conservatives have created despite claims money is being managed responsibly. O’Mahony said jobs and tax breaks for small business coupled with slashing corporate tax cuts. Hoskins said economic sustainability and poor voter turnout were the most important issues for the riding. O’Donnell’s main message was that the country needs democratic renewal and an anti-war government in Ottawa.

Edwards’s main message was that Ottawa can’t be fixed; the country needs to deconfederate so that British Columbia and the West can renegotiate a fairer deal. To wrap up the meeting, Minter addressed the fact that Strahl was not in attendance and asked UFV Student Life events assistant Desmond Devnich to comment on the absence of the candidate for the incumbent party. Devnich said Strahl also did not reply to the questions forwarded to him (and all candidates) before the meeting. No-shows of Conservative candidates at town hall meetings was addressed by Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff in reference to two similar incidents in the Toronto area this week. “I think it’s just absolutely basic to democratic politics: You show up,” Ignatieff told reporters at a press conference in Winnipeg. “You show up, and empty chairs—there are a lot of empty Conservative chairs at debates—say exactly what these people think about democracy.” Ignatieff was quickly called on the fact that not only was he not planning on attending a similar meeting in his riding, but at least three Liberal candidates had skipped debates already. If candidates skipping debates sounds familiar, in 2008, Conservative incumbent Chuck Strahl and Liberal Myra Sweeney missed the only public all-candidates debate held during that election.

News TRANSITION, from page 3 Andrea has had a doctor sign a letter declaring Dunphy unfit to make his own decisions. But there is no one who can enforce the order. “He wants to be where he’s at, but he doesn’t realize the dangers,” she says. “I don’t really expect him to have a long life because of this.” Finding work difficult The holy grail, for both men, will be finding a steady job and affordable and safe housing. But that is easier said than done, especially with the global economy continuing to flag. “I want to try and make it on my own,” says Dunphy. “I want to try and have my own place.” Lee has the same goal but is taking things slower; he has set 2015 as the year he hopes to move out on his own. Both Dunphy and Lee have worked in the past: Dunphy as a lifeguard at theYMCA and as a host at a Surrey International House of Pancakes; Lee as a landscaper. But both are currently jobless and with no immediate prospects in sight. Dunphy says he lost his last job because his employer said he wasn’t keeping up with its demands. But a fast-paced restaurant was also clearly not the ideal workplace for somebody with a social disability. Andrea blames, in part, her son’s lifestyle, and his refusal to take medication to control

Drugs draining his energy his impulses and allow him to concentrate. “I want to try and improve without [the drugs], because I find they drain my energy,” he said. After plenty of strike outs, neither Lee nor Dunphy tell potential bosses about their disability because they think employers are less likely to hire someone with autism. Those with the disorder do usually require more training and take longer to get up to speed at a new job. Lee and Dunphy believe that’s enough to scare off some bosses, despite the fact that, once they find a job suited to them—usually something that requires a fixed routine and unchanging tasks—those with autism often prove to be loyal, dedicated and effective workers. Struggles in classroom Despite troubles finding work, Lee is more optimistic than Dunphy about his future. That, in part, has to do with his ability to excel in the classroom. Whereas Dunphy struggled to complete high school and

frequently missed class, Lee was a honour-roll student— although he now dismisses that accomplishment as something that was the result of simply turning homework in on time. Now he wants to be able to earn a degree, something he sees as much as a trophy as a ticket to future employment. His work as a landscaper has helped finance both his college education and his steady stride toward independence and a more affluent life than his monthly government disability cheque can provide. “I want to be able to be like everybody else,” says Lee. “Right now I seem like a latebloomer because I still have my [learner’s driver’s licence] and I don’t have a job yet.” But the question remains: as society welcomes more and more autistic men and women into adulthood, should we be doing more to help them make a transition that is often difficult even for those teenagers who boast impeccable social skills? T h e Times w i l l t r y t o answer that question in Tuesday’s paper.

News EARTH DAY FISH RELEASE

ADVERTISING FEATURE

Crashes Remain the Leading Cause of Death for Young People In February 2004, the US Department of Transportation reported that motor vehicle crashes were the leading cause of death for young people aged 16 to 20 years. The actual number—more than 5,000 teen deaths per year—was high “no matter how … calculated (per 100,000,000 vehicle miles traveled by teens; per 100,000 licensed teen drivers; or per 100,000 teens in the population).”

Housing starts down 65 per cent from last year

ousing starts in Chilliwack were down 65 per cent in the first quarter of 2011 compared to 2010, according to numbers released Friday by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). There were 41 single family homes started in the first three months of this year, down 57 per cent from the 96 in 2010.

Stories and photos from your

Just 17 multiple-family units have broken ground this year so far, down 75 per cent from the 69 in 2010. Chilliwack’s low starts buck the regional trend as Abbotsford saw a 56 per cent increase in total starts year over year. The rest of the Metro Vancouver region— which for CMHC includes from Langley to Vancouver—saw a 41 per cent decline in single family home starts but a 49 per cent increase in multiple starts for an overall increase of 19 per cent year over year.

With respect to teen or ‘young’ driver risk, Traffic Safety, published in 2004 by Dr. Leonard Evans, an internationally renowned traffic safety expert, summarily states that, “the data consistently shows that young male drivers have the highest fatality and crash rates, and pose the greatest threat to other road users. …One of the grand themes at the center of traffic safety in every country in the world is that traffic crashes are overwhelmingly a problem of young male drivers.” Roughly five years after these assessments of teen driving risk has anything changed? MADD Canada’s 2010 Annual Report noted that “Road crashes are the leading cause of death among youth between the ages of 15 and 25, and alcohol is a factor in 45% of those deaths.” A 2007 US study reported that while “Most teens are taking notice of warnings on drinking and driving… they are confronted with a host of other behind-the-wheel distractions that contribute to thousands of fatal crashes every year.” Ninety percent of the survey respondents said they rarely or never drive after drinking or using drugs, which coincides with the 35% decline in teen traffic deaths involving alcohol from 1990 to 2005 identified by the U.S.

What does this say about all the various countermeasures that have been applied? More and better driver training, new licensing rules and programs like the Graduated Licensing Program, new impaired and distracted driving laws under steady media scrutiny, stricter and more enforcement, … all of these measures together are producing fewer fatalities and injuries. But clearly there remains a need for new ideas and approaches. One such example is a recent study authored by Donald Redelmeier, a professor of medicine at the University of Toronto concluding that male teen drivers with disruptive behaviour disorders have a higher risk for crash involvement than the general population. Given the importance of focusing on the driving task at all times and that distractibility is often a characteristic of the young, this is hardly earth shattering. But it at least points to other possible countermeasures— like screening for attentiveness as part of the licensing process—for an obviously problematic group. Cedric Hughes L.L.B.

It would seem that while the total numbers of Barrister & Solicitor fatalities and injuries are trending downwards in almost all age categories and for most types of road users, the general statement that ‘motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for young people’ remains accurate.

Films help start conversation on death & grieving BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

he Chilliwack Hospice Society is launching a film series to get people talking about death, dying and grieving. “A lot of people are just not comfortable talking about it—it’ll happen to them one day, and they don’t want to think about it until then,” said Hospice program coordinator Coletta Holmes. But not taking time to think about our feelings and thoughts about death and dying can make it more difficult when we do experience loss, said Holmes, so the Hospice Society is bringing a series of films on the subject to the Cottonwood 4 Cinemas on Luckakuck Way starting May 5. First up is a Canadian film, One Week, about a man who rides from Toronto to Tofino on a motorcycle after being diagnosed with a terminal illness. The screening will be fol-

lowed by a panel discussion hosted by the Hospice palliative care team. The plan is to show two films a year, one in the spring, one in the fall. “It’s a good springboard for discussion,” said Holmes. “It’s harder to get people to come out to a reading.” Some of the other movies being considered for the series include Pixar’s Up, Rabbit Hole with Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart, My Sister’s Keeper, Tuesdays With Morrie and The Greatest. “Every film will generate different discussion; every audience will generate different discussion,” said Holmes. “From a hospice perspective, we just want to normalize the conversation and the experience of death, dying and grieving.” ◗ Admission to the May 5 show is $5. The screening will start at 6:45 p.m. The box office opens at 6:30 p.m. For more information, contact Coletta at 604-795-4660.

Curbing confusion over calories What’s the right ratio of protein,carbs and fat?

Carbohydrates (carbs) can be simply described as sugar. Fruits, sweets, and the lactose found in milk and yogurt are simple carbs (single or double units of sugar). Complex carbs (long chains of sugars) are found in grains and other starchy foods. You can think of carbs as“gasoline”to fuel your brain and muscles. If your diet is too low in carbs, you may feel tired, moody or obsessive about food, or have difficulty concentrating.You may also experience muscle fatigue and poor sports performance. But, if you repeatedly eat too many carbohydrates, they will be stored as body fat. Since eating carbohydrates stores water on the body, if you have lost weight on a low carb plan you may only have lost water if your calorie intake didn’t change.

Protein

Protein is found in food such as meat, poultry, seafood, dairy foods, eggs, nuts/seeds, legumes such as lentils, chick peas or black beans, and soy foods such as tofu and soy

milk. It is involved in the structure and repair of tissues, production of antibodies to fight infection, enzyme function and as an oxygen carrier. If you miss a source of protein in your meals, you may feel highs and lows in your energy and be hungry more often. If your diet is too low in protein, you may also find your immunity is decreased and muscle repair and recovery from exercise is poor. If you eat too much protein repeatedly over time, you will store these extra calories as body fat. Major sources of fat in the diet include high-fat snack foods, fast food/restaurant meals, fats added to foods (such as butter, margarine, mayo and oil) and some meats and dairy foods. In general, the healthiest fats for your heart are supplied by plant-based foods and seafood. Fat is an essential nutrient needed to provide us with essential fatty acids for your brain and disease prevention as well as to supply fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K). Fat also makes food tasty and contributes to satiety. If you eat too much fat, it can contribute to health issues such as weight gain, obesity and heart disease.

How much do I need?

To figure out your macronutrient goal, you first need to understand how many calories you require per day. Although many factors influence how many calories you need, adult females need approximately 1,600 to 2,400 calories per day while adult males need approximately 2,000 to 3,000 calories per day. !

anielle was a 56-year-old engineer and mother of three who was trying to shed a few dozen unwanted pounds and reduce her blood pressure. She had tried various diets over the years, including highprotein, low-carb and most recently vegan diets. She initially lost weight on these diets, but didn’t enjoy them and therefore the weight always crept back. Since her blood pressure always fell when she lost weight no matter what she was eating, she knew that she needed to find an eating plan she could stick with for life. Heated debates and contradictions about carbohydrate, protein and fat are everywhere. The truth is, you can lose weight following any mix of carbohydrate, protein and fat as long as you reduce your calories. However, not all eating regimes provide you with the same health benefits or sustainability for weight loss and enjoyment. To make sense of this debate, you need to understand the science of macronutrients, which are collectively known as carbohydrates, protein and fat.

Weight Loss? Hyperglycemia?

Unfortunately, the number of people suffering from weightrelated health ailments continue to make the headlines. Diabetes, heart disease, blood sugar disorders and joint problems are only just a few of the health concerns when you are overweight.

Grass-free landscaping

Grass-Free Landscaping Alternatives For those who are ready to say goodbye to grass, there are many alternatives. ◗ Ground cover: Homeowners who still desire the look of green can choose among different types of ground cover that will quickly fill in the landscape. Clover, low-growing evergreen plants and ivy are some of the more popular

ground cover alternatives. ◗ Rocks: Decorative rocks intermingled with native plants can add dimension and color to the yard. Once rocks are placed, there is little upkeep except for pulling the errant weeds. ◗ Mulch: A less expensive alternative to rocks is mulch. Mulch is available in different colors and types and can even be created by a homeowner by chipping trimmed branches from trees in the yard. It helps lock water into landscaping beds, decreasing the need for frequent watering. ◗ Water features: Think about installing a pond in the yard that can be bordered with stones and mulch. This will take up a good amount of space and can create a natural habitat for wildlife and even some lowmaintenance pond fish. ◗ Concrete or patio stones: Although they’re not all-natural materials, patios can take up areas normally consumed by the lawn and create expansive outdoor entertaining areas. It will require an initial investment of the patio material, but once installed, patios don’t require significant maintenance. Homeowners can offset the concrete jungle feel by placing plenty of potted plants and container foliage around the perimeter. ◗ Decking: Another alternative to concrete and stones is a wood or composite material deck. Again, this structure will increase outdoor living space and won’t require the level of routine maintenance needed to keep a lush lawn.

any homeowners equate a beautiful landscape to rolling acres of pristine lawn. But changes in the climate and widespread seasonal restrictions on water use each year could change the way people think about outfitting their yards. There are many reasons people choose to forgo grass and opt for different ornamental elements in their yards. Cost is one factor. While grass seed is relatively inexpensive, the upkeep, including mowing, fertilizing, re-seeding, and watering, requires a significant investment of both time and money. Many homeowners choose to lay down sod to create a beautiful lawn, an expensive option for homeowners with vast landscapes. The environment is another reason homeowners look for grass alternatives. Grass requires a lot of upkeep, much of which is not environmentally friendly. For example, maintaining a pristine lawn requires the use of a gas-powered mower and oftentimes the application of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Seeking alternatives to grass can be friendly on both the wallet and the environment.

TurfWar

Sylvie Roussel-Janssens’s fabric installation Turf Wars will be in the windows at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve until June 1.

he Rotary Trail is a popular and well-loved destination for nature lovers in Chilliwack. A walk along the meandering gravel path allows those on foot, bicycle or horseback to see nesting great blue herons, bald eagles perched in trees and salmon swimming up river. But evidence of human and industrial activity does infiltrate the otherwise pristine natural surroundings from time to time. Two examples include the sound of gunfire from the RCMP’s training centre and gravel removal by the

probably performing training manoeuvres above the base. Jaybirds were doing their own type of loud circling around. They are always there. I thought: How do they feel about that disturbance today? This is their territory. As I walked a little bit further, loud gunshots coming from the gun range filled the air. By then, I felt that the noise was an assault on my space and the wildlife around me. As I arrived at the end of the trail by the Vedder bridge, I saw an endless row of gravel trucks.” Roussel-Janssens says she gets inspired on her walks, hikes and bike rides in the FraserValley and this particular walk inspired her to create

City of Chilliwack. It is this contrast that Chilliwack artist Sylvie Roussel-Janssens explores in TurfWars—a sculptural installation project currently on display at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve (GBHNR). The installation involves welded wire and fabric panels representing seven animal species, either atrisk or endangered, installed on windows with small suction cups. “A year ago, I was walking on the Rotary trail with my dog and noticed that my favourite place in Chilliwack was not peaceful as usual,” Roussel-Janssens explains. “There were military helicopters flying in circles above my head,

a project focused on environmental issues, specifically this conflict between “man and nature.” As with all her work, RousselJanssens uses a soldering iron on synthetic fabric, melting small holes to create designs. Photocopies on acetate are sewn on fabric and all materials are translucent for use of natural light (in this case) or electrical light with her light boxes. “In TurfWars, the images sewn in the centre of each animal represent their threat,” she says. “For example, the spotted owl swallowed a logging truck and the Pacific salmon swallowed a barge.

Helps to activate naturally millions of stem cells from our own bone marrow. The increase in stem cells released from the bone marrow into the blood stream have the potential to become other types of tissue cells with specialized function. Stem cells will multiply and are able to become heart cells, liver cells or any other organ. Located everywhere in our body, stem cells are even under our skin layered between the epidermis and dermis. This is why an increase in stem cells under our skin may help to create a more youthful cell that would replenish elastin and collagen and thus may make us look younger. If our bone marrow does not produce enough stem cells this can result in many illnesses, especially a weak heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas, in fact all healthy functions of our body are decreased. Sufficient stem cells in our body have a great potential of self-repair and the ability to rejuvenate tissues. It does not contain live human stem cells as these can only be transplanted by surgery and are subject to immunosuppressant drugs to avoid graft rejection.Naturopathic Doctor summarized his experience in writing after using this Stem Cell Activator: Used for all organ and tissue damage, heart attack damage, osteo-arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic brain injury, muscular #63 dystrophy, Crohn’s disease, diabetes, lupus, spinal injuries, and other diseases and tissue damage. The results have been very satisfactory to us and to the patients and the time varies with different patients depending on the extremity of the damage.

Women witnessing the effects of Bell Stem Cell Activator:

!Women looking for anti-aging help! We all want to slow down aging. After using a bottle of Bell Stem Cell Activator #63 my skin seemed smoother and brighter. My hair looked healthier. It seems to have a cleansing effect. I’m delighted. Leona McCormick, 50, Clgary, AB ! All around healing effect!

Acidic Stomach & Acid Reflux

By Dr. C. Hammoud, PhD - Must help or money refunded If your stomach is excessively acidic it means all your cells in your body are acidic. By correcting the excessively acidic stomach you should not need anti-acid pills to control reflux (heartburn). All acidic cells are deprived of oxygen and are the breeding ground for many illnesses including weight gain, diabetes, stress, vascular diseases and cancer. This fact was discovered by Dr. Otto Warburg years ago and he received two Nobel Prizes. You can change your acidic cells in your body by eating 80% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, fruit). Eat 20% acidic food (bread, noodles, rice, animal derived foods). Full details inside the box. If you don’t want to make major #39 changes in your diet, try Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39 guaranteed to bring your body to a pH alkaline balance. Free pH test kit inside the box. Dr. C. Everett Koop M.D. states that 68% of all illnesses and deaths are due to the wrong food and the quantity we eat. Unfortunately, virtually nothing about nutrition or natural health products is taught in medical school say many prominent medical doctors in print and on TV including the well known Dr. Andrew Weil M.D. Go on the internet and inform yourself.

McLELLAN, ARCHIE (Mac) March 19th 1926 – April 12th 2011

It is with great sadness we announce the sudden passing of Joy Lightfoot (Zillwood) our loving, vibrant, and youthful wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend. She passed away peacefully on April 16, 2011. She will be lovingly remembered by husband and loving companion, Ed, sons Chris (Eileen), Keith (Debbie), David (Della), grandchildren Matthew, Olivia, Thomas, Chloe, Kevin and greatgrandchildren Phoebe and Harriet, as well as stepchildren, nieces, nephews, and many friends near and far. Predeceased by parents(Fred and Gladys), brother (Fred), sister (Eileen) and son (Tony), husbands (Guy and George). Joy was a gift to all, enjoying a full life, and spreading her warmth, kindness and inspiring enthusiasm for life to everyone she knew and met. She was born in London, England on April 23rd, 1926. Highlights of England life included: wonderful childhood with best friend/brother, Fred; serving in the Royal Army Ordinance Corp in WW2 (driving trucks and ambulances); marriage and the birth of her first 2 sons. In 1958, the family moved to Canada (Richmond/ Vancouver), where she had 2 more sons. Joy served as Executive Housekeeper at VGH and GF Strong Hospitals for over 20 years, successfully balancing family and career. After raising her sons, Joy was blessed with a long fullfilling retirement as a 'recycled teenager' (White Rock/ Chilliwack), including winters in Yuma, dancing, gardening, reading, and spending time with the Lord. She also served in the Legion, Kiwanis and her church. The family wishes to thank the caring staff of Chilliwack Hospital for their kindness and support. Joy (and her laugh, smile and hugs) will be greatly missed. Memorial to be held Tuesday April 26th at 2:00 pm at the Vedder Golden Legion Branch 280, 5661 Vedder Road.

LOST LADY’S purse black and woven with brown beads at Chilliwack United Church between 1pm & 1:30 pm on Sat April 16. Ph 604-703-9634. Reward offered if purse & contents returned.

Archie McLellan lost his brave battle with cancer at the Cascade Hospice with his wife and daughter at his side. He was born in Wolseley, Saskatchewan on March 19th 1926. He was a farm kid who joined the navy during WWII at the age of 16 serving for 3 years. In 1948, he joined the RCE and was posted to Chilliwack. Archie had 2 tours with the UN in Egypt and 1 tour in Germany. After his discharge from the military he worked in construction with Kel-Mor and Chilliwack Sand and Gravel. In 1950 he married Doreen (Micki) Bishop and they celebrated their 61st Wedding Anniversary on March 25th. Arch was a “dyed in the wool” Vancouver Canuck fan and supported them for 40 years. We will always remember his cheering them on and how much he loved Trevor Linden. He was a true sportsman by nature. He played baseball for the Chilliwack Monarchs back in the 50s, he was a member of Meadowland Golf Club; was also a member of the “Hole in One” club at Kinkora Golf course. He loved to curl and had a life time membership at the Chilliwack Curling Club and played up to 3 years ago when his health began to fail. He was a 51 year member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 4. He is predeceased by his son Scott, July 1991. He is survived by his wife Doreen (Micki), daughter Joanne (Warren) Hancock, 5 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild, brother Wesley, sister-inlaws Helen and Kaye, brother-in-law Bob and numerous nieces and nephews. A special thank you to the caring medical staff at the Cascade Hospice and the thoughtfulness of Dr. Graham. God Bless you all. A Service of Remembrance will be held on Saturday, April 23rd 2011 at 11:00 a.m. at St. John’s Anglican Church, 46078 Higginson Road, Chilliwack. No ﬂowers by request. If friends so desire, memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Chilliwack Hospice would be appreciated.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reﬂections Aries March 21 - April 19: Delays end. You can charge ahead on new fronts. You’ve already entered a brand new world – it is sleek, clear, alive, even nervous, and within this new world, friends, ideas, inventiveness and fun are more important than money. You’re going to have fun Sunday to Tuesday – and for eight years! Your freedom is growing. The shy, quiet, dreamy and elusive friends of the past decade fall away, to be replaced by bright, sharp-minded types. This week, this “peeling off” causes a relationship disappointment. For the month ahead, chase money, seek higher earnings, cultivate new clients. Taurus April 20-May 20: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness rise strongly! The delays of April have ended. Start new projects, see and be seen, tackle chores that previously intimidated you. Despite this surge of energy, one part of you remains contemplative, and is tied in to private matters, quiet planning sessions, government liaisons, etc. Your real “break out” will come in June, when a year of huge luck will commence! Meanwhile, be ambitious Sunday/Monday – luck is with you. Watch legal, ethical factors all week. Change is needed here. Happiness midweek! Retreat, rest Friday/Saturday. Gemini May 21-June 20: Recent delays end, but indecision continues unless you make choices based on gentle love, foreign travel/contacts, culture and intellectual pursuits, which all draw you nicely Sunday to Tuesday. The weeks ahead emphasize rest, contemplation, solitude. Retreat, plan, prepare and fulfil obligations. Contact government agencies, institutions, charitable organizations. Your spiritual side grows – and might become, June onward, a significant relationship factor. If your hopes about a special person are disappointed, alter love goals. Be ambitious Wednesday. “Half happiness” late week.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Your future looks bright! Optimism, new hopes, friends, wishes, entertainment and light romance come waltzing in. You’ll enjoy the weeks ahead – even more so because your position in the world is on the rise, your ambitions meet luck. Recent warnings about not starting anything new are now over. Sunday to Tuesday feature changes, big finances, commitments, sexual urges, lifestyle changes and health diagnosis, all productively. A partner or competitor isn’t thrilled with you, though, so proceed cautiously – all week. Gentle love might point to the right mate for you midweek! Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The emphasis for the next few weeks will be on ambition, prestige relationships, your status in the world. All looks fairly smooth here, no big highs nor deep lows. Meanwhile, your expansion (usually lucky) in love, legal, intellectual, international and cultural zones continues, especially Friday/Saturday – but work or health demands, or your caution, can interfere. Recent delays end, so charge ahead with new ideas, relationships and projects, especially Sunday to Tuesday, when exciting meetings and prospects arise! Research, financial and sexual commitments are favoured midweek. Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: A mellow, understanding vibe fills the weeks ahead. This promotes gentle love, far travel, intellectual pursuits, legal and cultural affairs, education and publishing. Recent delays dissolve; you no longer need to avoid new projects. Tackle chores Sunday to Tuesday – everything runs smoothly. One caution: the first half of this week might cause a barrier in income zones, or a conflict between sexual desire and ethics. This continues more softly, “workably” the last half. You face different relationships now to 2025, in love, business, with the public – think “enchanted.”

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: A month of mystery, depths, investment, financial manoeuvres, intimacy, commitment, lifestyle changes, health diagnosis and detective work lies ahead. Your life might change. You’re in a powerful and unpredictable relationship trend. So far (early 2011) this might have been more talk than action, but this week and May could cement you in the age-old way. Don’t expect smooth sailing for eight years – but do expect excitement! Whatever occurs this month could “return” in a hugely lucky way June 2011-June 2012. Romance, Sunday-Tuesday. But you must change! “Security” sabotages. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: The weeks ahead emphasize relationships and opportunities. Be diplomatic, eager and willing. Don’t stubbornly cling to an outmoded position, especially at work or in health areas. Recent delays and indecisiveness end – charge ahead, especially on work and machinery fronts. A co-worker might oppose you, although the opposition’s subtle, might exist “between the lines” in a conversation or email, etc. You’ll win such a struggle, but might lose a friend: i.e., win the battle, lose the war. Be forgiving! Home, rest are both sweet Sunday to Tuesday. Romance, beauty call midweek. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: You’re in the midst of a lucky, pleasure-filled, scholastic, romantic, creative surge! (January to June.) But the four weeks ahead emphasize work, health, machinery, duties and dependents. Ah, well – it will run smoothly, anyway. (Except, perhaps, for a wee struggle around midweek when life dictates that you must choose between love and money – with money exercising the most influence. This, of course, steers you back toward work.) Recent delays and indecision pass now. Travel, errands and paperwork fill SundayTuesday. Home, midweek. Romance late week – sober, then strong!

Apr. 24 - April 30 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Recent delays end. Charge forward with new ventures, relationships and situations. The weeks ahead emphasize romance, speculation, risks, good luck, children, beauty, creativity, pleasure and sports – you’ll ride a winning streak! You face a choice now: on one side are your ambition, your natural personality; on the other lies love. If the love is in your home, you become protective, nurturing. If the love is “outside,” you might unconsciously press it, to end it. Chase money Sunday-Tuesday. Casual friends, talk, travel midweek. Home, security Friday/Saturday – buy it! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The weeks ahead accent security, domesticity, rest (hibernation) gardening, nutrition, soul, stomach, Mother Nature. Look over your retirement fund/plans, protect your children and their future, repair the house, etc. And settle back every once in a while to observe what you’re doing – present interests and inclinations hold a clue to where the riches lie in a very lucky period on the horizon – June 2011 to June 2012. That time might bring a new, better home, the end of an oppressive situation, a child, good things! Your energy and charisma rise nicely Sunday to Tuesday. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Delays end – so do mistakes, and wrong-headed money decisions. If needed, correct, alter course now. If you need a guide, look at your long-term future, envision it, where you want to be, and reconsider, alter money directions to suit that future. This works best midweek. The Thursday-Saturday period emphasizes a slightly different money trend: your earnings versus your net worth, debts, ability to “grow.” (E.g., do I work for wages or start a business?) You might start something that will grow big in money areas! Retreat early week. Your energy, charisma soar midweek. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
