Final push for local candidates BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

Harper, Layton make visit to Lower Mainland

ith just three days until the federal election, Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon candidates are gearing up for one final weekend of campaigning. Over this past week a number of small all-candidates meetings and events were hosted at which attendance was once again an issue. On Wednesday, Chilliwack secondary hosted an all-candidates

meeting followed by a mock election, but only New Democrat Gwen O’Mahony, Liberal Diane Janzen and Green Jamie Hoskins showed up. Central elementary also planned a mock election for Friday after visits from the candidates during the week that were video-recorded and broadcast online. On Tuesday evening, Strahl, Janzen and O’Mahony were invited to the Mainland Young Milk Producers

AGM at the Best Western. Strahl was a no-show but an uninvited Hoskins did attend and wasn’t allowed in. “I had my fingers crossed that my ‘Where are the Udder candidates!?!’ sign and willingness to participate would open the door for me, but no luck,” Hoskins told theTimes. There was an all-candidates meeting hosted by the Action Committee for Environmental Stewardship Society in Harrison Mills on Monday.

Neither Strahl nor Janzen attended. An all-candidates meeting was also planned in Pemberton secondary Thursday morning but only Janzen, O’Mahony and Hoskins were in attendance. While there has been criticism from other candidates and attendees regarding Strahl’s attendance at all-candidates meetings, he said that he is working hard to earn votes, has held numerous meetings and has

POLICE TOY GUN DRAWS WRONG KIND OF ATTENTION

BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

Police officers reacted with guns drawn to a report from an off-duty police officer of three young men with a rifle in Promontory Heights Monday afternoon. The teenagers had been carrying a realistic-looking toy gun. After being ordered out of a car at the intersection of Teskey Road and Sylvan Drive, and after the gun was confirmed to be a toy, the officers took the teenagers home to their parents. No charges were laid.

he Chilliwack school district looks to have rebounded from last year’s budget woes and hopes to add almost 33 fulltime equivalents (FTE) of staffing next year, according to preliminary budget estimates presented to the board of education Tuesday. At this time last year, the district predicted it would have to cut more than 60 jobs to address a projected $4.7 million shortfall for the 2010-11 school year, but things are looking up for next year. Based mostly on a projected 285student jump in enrolment next year, the district estimates it will see a $1.8 million increase in revenue. That combined with a current school year that looks like it will go $3.5 million under budget and result See SCHOOL, Page 23

“Get in on the Buzz”

Setting them up for the future

This is the final instalment in a threepart series focusing on the growing prevalence of autism in our community and how those with the disability are pursuing their dreams and goals in the face of persistent obstacles.

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

n a cloudy but still-dry Wednesday afternoon, with the family ATVs sitting in the garage and begging to be ridden, and with the grandparents heading home after a family visit, the short-term future and security of the Davis family seems fairly settled. Fourteen-year-old Darold, who has high-functioning autism, has recently proved he can be trusted with one of those ATVs and, for right now at least, says he never wants to leave home. And having tamed some of his emotional outbursts in the last two years, there’s no reason to suspect that outgoing Clinton, who is 16, won’t be able to achieve his goal of becoming a veterinarian. But out there, beyond the horizon, await storm clouds. Children are supposed to outlive their parents, and disabled children are no different. And yet while no one likes to contemplate their death, for the parents of disabled children, the question of “What happens when I’m gone?” is inescapable. “I get always choked up when I think about that,” says Karen Davis. “Just how it would be... It’s not like we had our kids when we were 20. I was 30, and so when I’m 60 or 70 they’re going to be 30.” Davis, though, is about as prepared as a parent can be. She is the president of the Fraser Valley Autism Society and a walking library on the disability. Speak to a parent of an autistic child, and there’s a good chance he or she will tell you to talk to Davis to get the low-down on the major issues revolving around the disability. Her eldest son is just as conversant about the disability that affects how he lives his life. “Some stuff can be hard to deal with or learn,” says Clinton. “I can’t do English very well because I just can’t process all the words they try and jam into your head. Science and math, I feel comfortable with because it’s not words, and although math may seem more confusing, some stuff is confusing, some stuff is easy.” His Asperger’s also predisposes him to overreact to circumstances

Tyler Olsen/TIMES

Fraser Valley Autism Society president Karen Davis has helped educate many local parents of autistic children on how to access services and provide for their children’s future. Davis has two sons: 16-year-old Clinton, who has Asperger’s syndrome, a form of autism spectrum disorder, and 14-year-old Darold, who has high-functioning autism. But Darold, although he doesn’t that annoy or anger him. However, in recent years, he has learned to handle want to leave home now, would likely little things that would have set him need more support if he changes his mind in the future, says his mother off in the past. “That’s something “I’ve grown tolerthat sits like right ant to it.

children. Davis, wanting to make sure she hadn’t missed anything, asked the worker about the services available: “I said, ‘Can you confirm to me what there is after 19’ and she said, ‘Nothing.’” Several non-profit organizations have tried to fill the void. One in particular has piqued the interest of Davis and other parents of autistic children and adults. A Surrey non-profit has proposed to establish a cohousing farming community that would provide employment and housing for adults with autism. The Silver Lining Farm is still in the early planning and consultation stages but has already drawn interest from parents around the Lower Mainland. Davis says “it is a really interesting concept that there would be a place for people with autism, that there could be a central group of caregivers and these people would be able to live and do their own and grow their own.” But the farm is still just that: a concept. In the meantime, Davis plans to set up a “microboard” for each son. Microboards are essentially See AUTISM, Page 18

ardis secondary techies owned the podium in IT Network Systems Administration at the 17th Annual BC Skills Competition in Abbotsford last week. Jordan Evans won gold and will now compete at the National Skills Canada competition in Quebec City in June. His classmates Corey Jackson and Ryan Gulak took silver and bronze respectively in the same category. It’s the ninth time in 10 years a Sardis student has won gold in PC repair and networking at the provincial competition (The year they didn’t win they didn’t enter a competitor) and most have gone on to medal at the national event as well. “We’ve put together a very good program that covers everything there is in this field,” said John Murtha, who has run the school’s computer tech program since 1999. He attributes at least some of his students’ success to the open environment of his classroom in which he has been known to run up to 12 different courses at once. “I get two kids taking this and one kid taking that and five taking that,” he said. “We all work together as mentors

Skills competition in IT Network Systems Administration last week. and work through everything, so I guess that environment works well with these kids.” Of course, students like gold medallist Evans bring their own gifts to the table as well. “He’s a very self-motivated student,” said Murtha. “That’s helped him a lot.” Besides the Skills Canada competition, Evans and Jackson also qualified for the final round of the CISCO NetRiders IT Skills Challenge and will compete online against the top competitors from every province and state in Canada and the United States on May 6. For Murtha, that kind of success points to the bright

futures his students have ahead of them. More medals for students Other Sardis medallists at the B.C. Skills competition at TRADEX last Wednesday were Yvan Landry, who won silver in welding, and Jordan Gollner, who won bronze in mechanical CAD. A group of Mount Slesse middle school students (Brandon Penner, Nick Hansen, Jack Moffat and Nadia van den berg) also earned a team medal in the junior skills part of the competition, capturing silver in the spaghetti bridge building event.

or many of us, it doesn’t seem unusual to suffer from unending fatigue and sluggishness - for no apparent reason. Feeling tired all the time, kind of seems normal. But it isn’t. An internal cleanse or detoxifying, is considered to be the cornerstone of good health by natural health care practitioners. Pollutants from the environment - found in the air, water and the foods that we eat, as well as waste produced from normal bodily functions, accumulates in your body and can lead to a state of congestion, constant fatigue and overall poor health. Why Detoxify? Detoxifying cleanses our internal organs of toxins. Toxicity occurs when we ingest or consume substances that our bodies cannot properly eliminate. From time to time it is beneﬁcial to purge your body to restore normal health. Exposure to toxins comes from our food, the air we breathe, house-

hold chemicals, pollutants and drugs. Symptoms often include headaches, halitosis (bad breath), insomnia, frequent colds, depression and sluggishness.

After you have cleansed, your immune response should be enhanced and you will be far better equipped to ward off disease, ailments and sickness. People often feel more relaxed, healthier, energetic and are able to handle stress better after cleansing. ReCleanse is a gentle and effective, 7-day whole body detox. It can help restore and rejuvenate the detoxifying systems in your body, which ﬁlter and eliminate toxins. A good cleanse feels amazing and it can help you to regain and maintain your good health.

2. Explain what initiatives you have to protect the environment? Our Conservative “Here for Canada” platform includes several initiatives to protect the environment. From a new ecoEnergy Retrofit program to encourage energy efficiency upgrades in homes through rebates, to the expansion of national parks, to the promotion of clean energy projects, our Conservative government is making economically viable, sustainable and practical investments in programs and policies.

*SOME RESTRICTIONS APPLY

4. Canada’s population is aging. How do you propose to deal with the financial burden this entails? We have taken significant steps to improve the lives of Canada’s seniors. We brought in pension income splitting, we have doubled the age credit, and we have proposed to enhance the Guaranteed Income Supplement for the most vulnerable seniors. 5.What do you see for the future of the Fraser Valley? Chilliwack is already a great community and if we keep our economic fundamentals sound, we’ll continue to attract investment and will see more and better jobs. 6.What in your personal background has prepared you for life in Ottawa? First of all, my life will always be in Chilliwack, I’ll just be working in Ottawa if I’m elected. I have been working in the federal political system for the last number of years for Randy Kamp, MP, both at the constituency level and in Ottawa. 7.What is something your party needs to work on? I think our party would benefit from a better relationship with the media.

Need somebody with a plan

or the last two editions of our paper, we’ve run the responses of local politicians to a series of questions formulated by my colleague, Paul Henderson. There’s some good stuff there. You should read it. But I’ve got to warn you: it’s depressing stuff. After going through the responses of all the candidates, I’m bitter and annoyed that I can’t check an “Isn’t there someone else?” box. Specifically, I’m dismayed by the responses to Paul’s fourth question, in which he asks about the financial burden posed by Canada’s aging population. This is important. Each year, we have fewer taxpaying workers covering the health costs of more seniors who require—and deserve—increasing amounts of medical care as they age. But instead of actually answering the question, the various candidates spout various talking points. Conservative Mark Strahl says the government will help seniors, which doesn’t answer the question Liberal Diane Janzen says she will help seniors in a costeffective manner, which is pretty much the same thing. Gwen O’Mahony says the NDP will make Canada more prosperous, which will help me

TYLER OLSEN

Win,Lose orTy pay for the cost of caring for my parents. It’s an answer. Just not a very good one. I find it hard to believe that any government— NDP or otherwise—will be able to so dramatically improve our already pretty decent economic fortunes as to support the grey wave that’s coming. Marxist-Leninist Dorothy-Jean O’Donnell says people are not a burden. But, financially, they are. Sorry, but it’s true. Seniors, students and children all get more from our government than they pay in taxes. And so it should be. But let’s not kid ourselves, somebody has to pay the tab. Clive Edwards, of the Western Block Party, asks me to Google a Fair Tax System. Turns out it’s a consumption tax on real estate sales. Which, I suppose, could work until people stop selling real estate at 2005 levels. Plus I like Canada so I can’t vote for him. And the Green’s Jamie Hoskins says that we must fix things. But he doesn’t say how. I want a “how.”

I want somebody to tell me “I’m going to raise taxes right now and set up a fund to be used later to pay for the huge health costs we will be dealing with.” Or I want them to say, “We’ll have to dramatically cut the amount we spend, per person, on health care as more and more people retire.” Or I want them to say, “We’re going to leave it until we’re faced with a crisis and then we’re going to guilt you into paying out the wazoo to keep your parents healthy and happy.” Those are the only three options I can see. It’s not that hard to pick one. But instead we get candidates—by all accounts nice, thoughtful and smart people—who, whether for personal reasons or because they have been directed to do so by their federal leaders, do the political equivalent of closing one’s eyes, covering one’s ears and screaming “La La La, If I can’t hear you everything will turn out alright!” I want somebody with a plan and I want somebody willing to talk about their plan. Right now, I feel like we’ve got politicians driving us at a high rate of speed toward the edge of a cliff face and saying, “We’ll turn the car around later. I’ve got a sudoku puzzle to do.”

he Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon riding will have a new representative in Ottawa next week. There are six candidates running for the position to replace long-time Conservative MP Chuck Strahl. All-too-often voters in federal elections forget that they are voting for the local candidate not the federal leader. Those devoted to a party often overlook the local candidate in favour of the party. This may be reasonable but it is important to remember that a community’s representative on federal issues is that local candidate. The recent, so-called “orange surge” that has seen NDP fortunes rise is likely mostly due to Jack Layton. But in this riding you are not voting for Layton, you are voting for Gwen O’Mahony. If you lived in the riding of Saanich-Gulf Islands you could vote for Green Party leader Elizabeth May, but here in Chilliwack the choice is Jamie Hoskins. For those who love or loathe Michael Ignatieff, remember, he can’t get your vote in this riding. The candidate is former school trustee and city councillor Diane Janzen. If you are a die-hard Conservative supporter, you are not voting for Stephen Harper, your candidate is Mark Strahl. Over the course of this election, the Strahl campaign seems to have adopted a keep-your-head-down strategy assuming local Tory tendencies will continue. But even with massive vote-shedding that could result from disgruntled Conservatives upset over the nomination process and Strahl’s invisibility over this campaign, the Tories approach seems to have been that this is a safe riding. He might be right but we still have to count the votes. Whomever you think should represent your interests, be sure to get out and vote. And even if you think your vote won’t make a difference, we all have a responsibility to participate in the democratic electoral process every time we get the chance.

You gotta show up to listen to your constituents Editor: Recently I attended the all-candidates meeting at UFV and was disappointed to see only five of the six in attendance. When I posted my disappointment on Facebook I was reminded by several of my friends that it is important to seek both sides to a story. So I called the Conservative’s campaign office requesting information about Mark’s whereabouts for that evening. Through six separate phone calls and after being directed to look on Mark Strahl’s website for answers several times I learned that a) if I had a question for Mark I could e-mail him and he would answer it via e-mail; b) that he was at a Probus function at noon that day (UFV Debate was at 7 p.m., but whatever); c) that they would not be releasing all the details of his whereabouts until after the election, and; d) that he is a busy man and could not possibly make all of the local debates. I then asked when Mr. Strahl would be speaking to a public audience locally and was told that this would not be happening again during the election. He would be, however, speaking at many private functions (with the exception of the Chamber of Commerce, which would allow a “limited number of public guests” to observe and ask questions). I was not impressed. In fact, I was royally annoyed. I felt I was being given the political run around, and I didn’t like it. I have voted Conservative in the last three federal elections. I can say without question that I will be voting another colour in the political rainbow this election. I, like many, many others, am tired of hearing that the only way Canada is going to survive is with Stephen Harper, the economist, at the helm. The facts speak for themselves: with two proroguings of Parliament to avoid scandal, $26 million of our money spent to advertise the economic action plan, the three-day, billion-dollar G8/G20 in Ontario, the “In and Out Scandal,” the unconscionable treatment of Helena Georgis and Linda Keen, billions of dollars for prisons and jets, the Afghan

detainee crisis, the abominable treatment of veterans, and locally, the controversy surrounding our Conservative candidate’s knowledge of an election and his unavailability for questions from the general public. Chilliwack, once dubbed the green heart of B.C., has been pretty blue the last two decades or so if you ask me. This election is exciting because for the first time in a long time we have a race. Congrats to those candidates making the effort to meet with and listen to their constituents. You’ve got my vote largely because of it. Andrea Massey Chilliwack

Contempt for democracy Editor: Conservative members, citizens drowning out a supplementary question to Stephen Harper last week only furthers and fosters the idea those Conservative supporters also have contempt for democracy in their hearts. They believe only in their form of democracy. Applauding down a question from the people in front of them, about the veracity of the assertion made by the Conservative candidate in Vancouver South was despicable. There is no free speech in Harper’s Conservatives. In Chilliwack, the Conservative candidate Mark Strahl simply does not attend general debates he cannot control. He “inherited his father’s friends and enemies” he is quoted as saying after a question from a veteran. In a true democracy everyone has a right to voice and share opinions and ask questions of candidates. Not

agreeing with the Conservative candidate in Chilliwack does not make everyone else an enemy. Are veterans suddenly being viewed as enemies by Mark Strahl because we have been peacefully demonstrating and writing to the current Member of Parliament and many others across the country to support Bill C-201 aimed to eliminate the unfair benefit reduction (clawback) of retired and disabled Canadian Forces and RCMP service pensions? The contempt shown by the current member of Parliament by not responding or attending the November rally will be remembered. Mark Strahl did not attend the latest debate at UFV, however, he did attend a closed-door debate with the Chilliwack chapter of the Probus group. A one-hour telephone debate does not allow for a real debate. Six or seven questions are asked. Telephone debates with one candidate only does not a debate make. It becomes a Q&A session. One has to wonder how Mark Strahl if elected, will represent all of us in Ottawa when he does not subscribe to free speech and hiding behind schedule conflicts? Friends or enemies? Jacques Gratton Chilliwack

Parking was a big problem Editor: Re: The loss of our Chilliwack Bruins. News of our team moving to Victoria has brought sadness to the community and as the Times indicate “the blame game” has begun. I have my own philosophy as to what may have been

a contributing factor to the lack of attendance at the games. I don’t believe this was the only reason, but I can say that it was a commonly shared opinion within the community. For the first couple of seasons I owned a share in Bruin’s tickets. It was during those two years I realized a major problem with our beautiful “Prospera Centre.” Where was I suppose to park? There was a total lack of parking available given the size of the arena. On a Bruins game night, the Prospera and Leisure Centre police (as we jokingly called them) strictly patrolled the parking lots. If you weren’t there 20 minutes before a game for the limited stalls at Townsend Park, this left you with the distant options of parking at the Spadina lot or on the residential streets to the west of Prospera Centre, sometimes blocks away. After sitting through numerous games soaking wet from the long walk from car to arena, we regrettably gave up our share of the seasons tickets. Understandably the homeowners to the west of the arena were not always that thrilled with a Bruins game night. I still felt there was a solution to the problem; I assumed that with the demolition of the old arena, a multilevel parking lot would fill its place. I was wrong and watched the construction of a $22 million cultural centre. Now we have another beautiful facility with yet again no parking. I understand that the City’s land ownership of the properties in question greatly reduced the cost of building on those spots. Obviously this would dictate the placement of these buildings, however, with such large facilities (Prospera Centre and the arts centre) there has to be thought given to adequate, convenient parking. The “bus bridge” is not a bad idea but it doesn’t offer convenience to a lot of locations in residential Chilliwack. So, we say goodbye to the Bruins and unless they are replaced we now have a beautiful facility for minor hockey. John Alleman Chilliwack

A new fed party is proposed

Editor: Contemplating the vandalized and stolen election signs it occurred to me that perhaps Canadians agree with Mr. Harper’s belief that the election is unwanted. So I would like to offer a suggestion to put an end to these dangerous and unnecessary exercises. I propose the Benevolent Dictator Party (BDP) of Canada. The BDP will be headed by the Prime Magnate (PM). The PM will be advised and supported by his closest friends who along with the PM will form the Prime Magnates Office (PMO). The benevolence of the BDP will shine on all kinds of Canadians. For example, prior criminal convictions will not bar a person from employment in the PMO. Parliament will consist of representatives of the Party appointed across the country with preference given to family members of already serving Party members. With only Party members present, parliament will be much less contemptible. The BDP will eliminate the deficit by 2014 by cutting wasteful and inefficient spending. For example, donations to the Party or spending by the Party won’t have to be accounted for to anyone, saving on accounting costs. The Party will not have to waste time and money fighting election fraud charges. Accountability is a nuisance. Let us replace accountability with corruption. Ian Stephen Chilliwack

Don’t be afraid of a coalition Editor: The members and supporters of the Conservative Party need to learn a new word. By now, most people (actually, I mean everyone) in Canada knows that Conservative Party members can spew, excuse me, I mean say, the word “coalition.” Every time we turn around, someone (again, I mean most everyone)

in the Conservative Party (Mark, I’m speaking to you and your erstwhile compatriots) is speaking about the approaching evil, the encroaching doom, the (softly now, we don’t want to scare the children) coalition. Was that softly enough? If the temporary blending of parties opposing the Conservatives is the horrible evil that the entirety of the Conservative Party claims that it is, I ask you now, how much worse is the permanent coalition of the Progressive Conservatives and the Reform Party? Why is it that they can form an irrevocable coalition that is fine-and-dandy and sweetness-and-light, but any other temporary coalition is a terrible, horrible monster that will descend upon Canada? They are hypocrites! They laugh at us while they spin, spin, spin. If you believe them, then you are not questioning them. Challenge their hypocrisy. James Baird Chilliwack

Cadets thankful for support Editor: The 147 Airwolf Air Cadets Parent Society wishes to extend a heartfelt thank you to the local businesses that assisted with our recent TAG Days fundraiser. The proceeds go to such wonderful programs as glider flying, leadership, effective speaking, first-aid, band, fitness, summer camps and many more. Please visit our website for full information. Our Air Cadets are local youth aged 12 to 18 who join the program “To Learn, To Serve, To Advance.” Having the support of local businesses and community is key to their development.

Faith Today BY ROB AYER Crossroads Community Church

told myself that the Canucks were going to lose the series. Here’s what I was thinking: 1. The Hawks just seem to have their number. They have eliminated Vancouver from the playoffs two seasons in a row; 2. Vancouver has shown the capacity to lose four consecutive games on several occasions this year. What’s to keep that from happening again?; 3. The Hawks had all the momentum coming into game 7; 4. There is historical precedent —three other teams have won Stanley Cup playoff rounds after dropping the first three games in a seven-game series (the most recent example being Philadelphia over Boston last year). So I told people, “I think the

Cardiac Care: A Canucks story Canucks are going to lose the series. I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t think they’re going to recover from their crushing games 4 and 5 losses.” I was guarding my heart against disappointment. Weren’t most Canuck fans doing the same? I watched Tuesday night’s game with friends. We snacked—not because we were hungry but because we needed to do something with our nervous tension (and exercise never even occurred to us as a possibility). Wasn’t there a collective sigh of relief throughout the Lower Mainland on Wednesday morning?

What do you guard your heart against? A failing grade? Wayward children? A broken marriage? Unfulfilling work? The Canucks failing to make it to the Stanley Cup finals? And while some concerns might seem more legitimate than others, is this any way to live: fearfully guarding against the disappointment and suffering that is the common lot of man, trying to duck and dodge the pain and hurts that are inevitable in this lifetime? Around 2,000 years ago, there lived a man named Paul. He was in prison for his faith when he wrote a letter to other Jesus follow-

ers to encourage them in theirs. Amongst many things he said in the letter he wrote this: Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praise shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life. And this guy was in jail. He was literally guarded. And he was figuratively guarded. He had guarded his heart against his own circumstances with

Goal setting in golf

Step #1-Write Your Goals Down The easiest way to turn goals into reality is to first write them down and then place them where you will see them often. Once you have set your goals, take the time to re-evaluate them on a regular basis to keep track of your progress, and make adjustments if necessary. Step #2-Define Your Goals I recommend to first set long-term goals, and then set several short-term goals that line up with your long-term objectives. Most people focus on only “outcome-based” goals such as decreasing your handicap, winning a tournament, lowering your number of putts per round, or shooting below a certain score for the first time. However, also try to set “process-based” goals that are not measured by your outcome. Some examples of this type of goal

JENNIFER GREGGAIN

Pro Tips setting are: having more fun on the golf course, improving mental toughness, fully committing to a decision on every shot, or improving your pre-shot routine. You may find that in setting these process-based goals, your outcome-based goals will also be achieved, and your scores will go down. Step #3-What Will You Do to Achieve Your Goals? This is a crucial final step in goal setting. Now that you have defined your goals, what are you going to do to achieve them? Take into account all aspects of your game, recognizing your strengths, and making a plan to overcome your weaknesses. For example, if your long term goal for this year is to improve your handicap by two strokes, what would be the best way for you to accomplish this? I frequently recommend giving a “playing lesson” to a student who would like some advice in how to improve his or her game as a whole. Oftentimes the easiest way to lower your score is not by reworking your swing on the lesson tee, but all new to the game so play will begin at a sedate pace to introduce players to the sport. Those interested should contact Jennifer at 604-4914442, Scott at 779-998-3260 or email easterndistrictcricket@ live.ca.

Chiefs Development Group 45323 Hodgins Ave. Chilliwack, BC

To all our loyal Chilliwack Hockey Friends: After more than ten years of involvement with both BCHL and WHL hockey in Chilliwack there is one thing we know for sure – Chilliwack is a hockey town. We have learned to respect and believe in the hockey fans, the community and the business people of this City. That respect and belief urged us to invest our lives and our dollars to work with the City and in 2003 build a great hockey arena for our beloved BCHL Chilliwack Chiefs. In 2006 that belief urged us to partner with others to bring the highest possible level of hockey to Chilliwack – the WHL and the Chilliwack Bruins. Unfortunately, for some, the belief in Chilliwack was lost, and today, our Bruins are gone. But we are not gone. And we are not leaving. We believe in Chilliwack. We believe in Chilliwack hockey fans. We believe that owning a team is a privilege. We believe the team belongs to the community. We believe we “owners” are simply the privileged caretakers.

REASON FOR RECALL: The Safety Authority of British Columbia has notified London Drugs that the Tsunami Legacy 3500 Product contains a Transformer which does not bear the certification symbol required pursuant to applicable Canadian laws and regulations. While the Transformer does contain a TUV certification symbol, it was not issued by the certification body required by Canadian regulatory authorities.

We believe Chilliwack deserves the highest level of hockey possible with: • A team that works hard on and off the ice; • A team that plays its role in the community; • A team that entertains and; • A team that wins.

INCIDENTS: London Drugs is unaware of any consumer incidents or injury related to this non-compliance issue. CANADIAN RETAILER: Sold at all London Drugs retail stores within British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. DISTRIBUTION PERIOD: January, 2010 through to April, 2011. REMEDY: Customers should return the Tsunami Legacy 3500 Product, with Transformer, to any London Drugs retail store in return for a full refund. When returning the Tsunami Legacy 3500 Product, customers must return the Transformer in order to get a refund.

Picking exterior colours simplified

Learn how to camouflage ugly features

NC —The challenge in choosing exterior colour is to find the right balance between standing out and fitting in. Often the biggest colour decisions have been made by the time you get to choosing exterior paint colours: the brick, the stone elements, and your roof. To help you see these materials as colours, match each of them to a paint chip. This is a quick and effective aid to develop your home’s exterior palette. Add a paint chip for the roof and you’re ready to go. Next, choose your main trim colour, and when you do, be extremely wary of white. There is very little white in nature so stark white can look artificial and inelegant. Be sure that any whites you use are what designers call “toned”whites like Moth Gray (PPG Pittsburgh Paints, 515–4) or Ashen (PPG Pittsburgh Paints 516–4). These look off–white or warm grey as paint chips but will still look very white against brick and stone. They’re softer and more pleasing to the eye. Make the laws of colour perception work for you when assigning colours to the architectural features of your home. Light things grab our attention and they also tend to look big (which is why some of us favour black workout clothing). Take stock of your facade and assign the brightest trim colour to its most attractive trim features, such as decorative mouldings, window sashes, brackets, and columns. If you want to calm your

façade then the rule of thumb is to reduce contrast. Tone down your trim with natural–looking neutrals in a deeper range of colours, like Sharkskin (PPG Pittsburgh Paints, 513–5) or Eiffel Tower (PPG Pittsburgh Paints 521– 5), both the colour of stone. Make the details you want to be less visible recede with a warm off–black like PPG’s Gibraltar Gray (530–6). These shadow colours help create harmony in your palette. Sometimes, toning down unattractive features won’t be enough. To make utility doors, down–pipes and other unsightly things disappear, you need outright camouflage. Use the colour that you matched to your main building material (brick, siding), as the colour for all ugly things. Dramatic or eye–catching accent colours should always be used sparingly. The front door—the welcome to your home—should be prominent, so this is where you can break loose. Classic reds, dark burgundies like PPG Pittsburgh Paints Burgundy Wine (534–7), and navy blues like their Black Flame (545–7), are magnificent, but also consider Autumn Fern (PPG Pittsburgh Paints 311–7), a khaki green that complements the rusty colour of red brick. If you prefer a monochromatic palette, add drama by choosing a really dark door colour like Sarsaparilla (PPG Pittsburgh Paints, 527–7) or Black Magic (PPG Pittsburgh Paints 518–7), both of which look handsome in a gloss finish.

Generally, there are three rules for garage doors: always avoid bright colours; always avoid high contrast with the dominant colour in your palette; never match them to your front door. (If you think you want to use a stand–out colour on your front door, camouflage your garage door so it doesn’t compete.) For shutters, you need to choose between blending them in and making them pop. To blend, use your shadow neutral. For pop, match your shutters to your door colour. This will draw more attention to your home so be sure your façade is up to it. White windows can be a curse. They are too bright to work well with brick or stone. If you are stuck with a brick house and white windows, then choose a toned white a little deeper than the white of your window frames and save your deeper shadow colour for areas non–adjacent to the windows. Invest in the highest–quality exterior paint you can afford. Painting the exterior is expensive, or time–consuming—usually, both. Look for an exterior paint that’s backed by the strongest warranty you can find, like the Manor Hall Timeless line by PPG Pittsburgh Paints, which is backed by a lifetime warranty against cracking, peeling and flaking. At a premium of about $10 to $15 per gallon over standard exterior paints, this is a modest incremental investment set to deliver a big return.

Sprucing up tired house as easy as looking down

(NC) – Is your home in need of a quick makeover to go from boring to brilliant? What better time than now to update your home’s tired, worn interior. Look no further than right under your feet for a simple and affordable way to freshen your décor— updating with flooring that mimics natural stone or ceramic tile but without the upkeep or high cost. Installing new flooring can quickly and dramatically change a room’s appearance without breaking your budget, thanks to stylish, durable and affordable new flooring options like luxury vinyl tile (LVT). Whether you’re looking to update a bathroom, kitchen or living room, LVT, such as Tarkett NAFCO Luxury Floors PermaStone Collection, can help you make a spectacular transformation that offers practical performance and stunning looks. “Today’s luxury vinyl tile echoes the style

• Top Soil • Bark Mulch • Bark Nuggets • Lava Rock • Landscape Rock • Compost • Drain Rock • Fill Dirt • Sand • Crusher Dust • Pit Run Gravel • Pink Shale • Black Shale

of natural, hard-surface flooring options, such as stone, slate and marble,” says Erica Hubbard, Tarkett NAFCO Marketing Director. “These designs pop with depth and realism and combine both classic and contemporary elements, providing a wide range of style options.” LVT delivers all of the luxury of natural flooring but without the hassle and fuss. Warm, soft and quiet underfoot, wear–resistant LVT holds up to the rigors of daily household traffic much better than stone, ceramic or hardwood. It also resists water and moisture, making it a great option for “wet” areas of the house, such as a kitchen or bath. Many LVT products offer various installation options. PermaStone, for example, lets you choose from the following: ◗ GroutFit – creates grout lines that mimic the look of real grout; ◗ GroutFil – features 14 pre–mixed acrylic grout colors for customized grout options; ◗ GroutLess – randomly cut tiles give floors an individualized, custom design feel. The design possibilities are endless for a luxurious new room. And with LVT’s quick and easy installation, you can finish an amazing DIY spring decorating spruce-up in a weekend or even less.

CHILLIWACK TIMES FRIDAY, APRIL 29, 2011

(NC) – Simplicity has a long design tradition—even Louis XVI celebrated it, his furniture was noted for its clean lines and lack of adornment. Simplicity is back today, not just in sleek urban lofts populated with someone’s grandmother’s Mies van der Rohe furniture, but in homes across Canada. It’s not minimalism necessarily; it doesn’t celebrate the absence of pieces. Simplicity is pleasing, pared–down, stress–free and creates a refuge from the 24/7 world. It’s convenient and easy, not as complicated as people’s to-do lists or schedules. The following are some ways consumers are bringing simplicity home with them: Soothing Neutrals with On–Trend Grey Beyond the fact that neutral colours tend to be the most soothing, they also save on time and financial resources. Rather than using a trendy bright colour that will quickly fade out of style, incorporating an on-trend neutral like grey, which has been predicted as the neutral for today, helps homeowners keep current while still having a long–lasting décor. “We’ve found that this new neutral is not as dreary as one would think but can be used to fit a range of tastes to add a calming and elegant touch to a room,” says Kim Kiner, Hunter Douglas vice-president of product design. Try silver, charcoal or taupe grays on walls, floors and furnishings. Calming with One Popping Pattern or Intriguing Texture

with custom quality craftsmanship and a simplified step-by-step ordering process and quick delivery. The shades come in four distinctive shades styles and can be accompanied by co-ordinating valances. Consumers choose from 320 stripes, florals, damasks, sheers and solids that shimmer with richness and intriguing textures. Fabrics, tapes and trims are all available by the yard as well for complete, trouble–free co-ordination. The innovative cording system reduces access to the rear cords for enhanced child safety. All shades are backed by the Hunter Douglas Lifetime Guarantee.

Showcased here, Design Studio Roman Shades from Hunter Douglas in a largescale damask. With its gray upholstery and carpet and white-toned Louis XVIstyle furnishings accented by the damask, the décor speaks to today’s trend toward simplicity. A neutral room is just the start. To make a home relaxing but still resonate with the latest on-trend style, a few patterned or textured accent pieces can make a room current while not being too overwhelming. “One easy way to add these elements is with new Hunter Douglas Design Studio Roman Shades,” continues Kiner. “They are designed with a simplicity not found in any other traditional Roman shade.” The line offers a carefully edited, exclusive fabric and trim collection

Peaceful Open Space As easy as turning off one’s phone when arriving home to relax, so is clearing out any unnecessary items that only crowd the space and add to stress. The trend to simplify has brought a range of new products that are made to store items and are also fashionable, so fashionable in fact they are making the design pages of top publications. These include ottomans that lift open to neatly place blankets, magazines and remotes out of sight as well as storage bins sporting charming prints, venerable wood tones, mixes of bamboo and canvas and even rush weaves that are at home in the most stylish of living rooms. In ways large and small, Canadians are making simple, on–trend style a priority. More information is available online at www.hunterdouglas.ca or toll–free at 1–800–265–8000.

SCHOOL, from page 1 in a $6 million accumulated surplus by the end of the year puts the district on solid financial ground. “The good news in this budget is that the staffing is being held constant or increasing slightly,” said superintendent Corrine McCabe of the 2011-12 numbers, “and that means stability for our teachers and for our schools and our parents and our students.” While the district has yet to put dollar figures to staff numbers, it hopes to add just over 22 teaching positions. Most of those will be needed for the final implementation of fullday kindergarten, but some are being added to deal with large classes, especially in the intermediate grades. The district also plans to hire about four more education assistants (EAs) despite a drop in projected enrolments for special needs students. McCabe explained that many of those students aren’t identified until April, May and June, and keeping enough EAs on staff to meet their needs (instead of laying them off in June and rehiring them in the fall) creates smoother transitions for students who might otherwise see a gap in support in September. District executive and management staff,

TRANSIT future

meanwhile, will be nicked by .7 FTE according to preliminary plans, and school principals and vice-principals will see an addition of three FTE. The only line of the preliminary staffing figures that sparked opposition at Tuesday’s meeting was for support staff (not including EAs) like clerical and custodial workers. Unlike teachers and EAs, support staff aren’t slated for an increase past 2009-2010 figures (before last year’s drastic cuts). CUPE president Rod Isaac challenged trustees to look back at the data for custodial and maintenance staff over the last 16 to 18 years. Despite growing budgets, rising student populations and the addition of three new schools during that time, he said staffing levels for custodial workers have stayed nearly the same. “Maintenance staffing has actually gone down in some areas significantly,” he said. “I look at the buildings and I’m wondering when we’re going to pay for the lack of attention that they’re getting.” The district will finalize its budget estimates by May 5.

Raid nets art & antiques

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

wo people have been charged in connection with an early morning police raid last Friday at a Ryder Lake home from which dozens of stolen items and 44 pot plants were seized. Officers with the RCMP’s crime reduction unit recovered power tools, antiques, art work, jewelry, furniture, computers and stolen identification from the house, in the 50000 block of Loockout Road. Mounties say the property was stolen from break-and-enters throughout the Chilliwack and Ryder Lake area. The RCMP is still trying to identify the rightful owners of the seized property. “Police are hoping the search warrant will lead to an end in the rash of property crime offences that have been occurring in the Ryder Lake area over the last two months,” said Cpl.

Kurt Bosnell, of the Chilliwack RCMP’s crime reduction unit. Mark Perkins, 38, and Kimberley Gribbon, 38, both of Chilliwack, have been charged with production and possession of a controlled substance, and several counts of possession of stolen property. The City of Chilliwack also used its noxious trades bylaw to remove the occupancy permit from the residence and BC Hydro cut off power to the property due to unsafe wiring. The Times reported Tuesday that an altercation between area residents and suspected thieves helped police obtain a search warrant for the house. Bosnell confirmed that, noting, “The search warrant resulted from the cooperation from local residents.” The raid came as Ryder Lake residents plan to meet with police May 3 at 7 p.m. at Ryder Lake Hall to discuss solutions to the recent spate of break-ins.

‘Hats off’ to Good Samaritans on the Roads Plans are now underway to Canada recently celebrated

hire up to four emergency responders to work along the highway with funds provided by the provincial government, a local county, and the oil sands companies. Said Ms. Hagan, “I think the whole volunteer fire service is in crisis, and one of the biggest crises is that there are so many busy highways like this that go through isolated Barrister & Solicitor stretches of the province, in areas that just don’t have the resources to do community response.”

THE ROAD RULES

Cedric Hughes

Coinciding with the announcement of ‘Volunteer Week’ was a report about the volunteer firefighters in the various towns and hamlets along Alberta Highway 63. This mostly two-lane undivided highway starts southwest of Radway and passes north through Boyle and Fort McMurray before ending near Fort MacKay. As the only allweather road leading out of Fort McMurray, it is a critical link for this ever-growing centre of the Canadian oil sands industry. Not surprisingly, the high traffic volumes combined with the often high risk conditions on Highway 63 have made it a “collision hot spot” — near Wandering River, for example, a hamlet of about 100, “at least one fatal collision a month, often more, in addition to more routine collisions.” And the emergency responders to these crashes have been the Wandering River volunteer firefighters, a group of half a dozen women all of whom worked as well as volunteered full-time, until they reached their limit last spring and quit.

“It’s just too many, too much,” said firefighter Maureen Hagan. Other community members stepped forward to volunteer for local fire duty only, but not to cover the highway. Although nearby volunteer departments stepped forward to cover the highway, the response time in certain spots became an hour. Clearly the limits of such a generous voluntary response have been over-reached.

National Volunteer Week (April 10 –16). According to a 2007 Canadian Survey of Giving, Volunteering and Participating, 12.5 million Canadians contribute annually 2.1 billion hours — the equivalent of 1.1 million full-time jobs— to a wide range of charitable and not-for-profit organizations.

Volunteerism in the road safety context arguably lacks the profile of volunteerism in health, education or social outreach, but as with these areas the contributions are hugely significant. Road Rules celebrates the hosts of generous, thoughtful, and caring citizens who help others stay safe on our roads: —for example, school crossing guards, the Operation Red Nose volunteers, the parents who help organize and support the ‘Dry Grad’ programs, those who support groups like Mothers Against Drunk Driving dedicated to keeping attention focused on important social behavioural issues affecting road safety, the ‘cycling community’ groups dedicated to teaching all road users about sharing the road safely. In BC, volunteers are encouraged and protected by the Good Samaritans Act as follows: A person who renders emergency medical services or aid to an ill, injured or unconscious person, at the immediate scene of an accident or emergency that has caused the illness, injury or unconsciousness, is not liable for damages for injury to or death of that person caused by the person’s act or omission in rendering the medical services or aid unless that person is grossly negligent.

Crazy for Patsy Cline

pend a special Mother’s Day with Patsy Cline as performed by multi-talented impersonator Bonnie Kilroe. Like many of the most influential singers, Cline died far too soon but her memory lives on. But even since that tragic ending, on March 5, 1963, Cline’s music has continued to cross boundaries and reach a diverse audience. Her haunting and honey soprano voice has influenced a wide range of artists from Loretta Lynn and Linda Ronstadt to Bryan Adams and K.D. Lang. Cline’s moment in the spotlight was brief, but she lives on in her music. Her single “Crazy” is one of the most popular jukebox songs ever and second only to Elvis Presley’s “Hound Dog.” Aside from her music, Cline left an enduring impression on her fans and fellow country stars for her courage and perseverance. Now, 47 years after her tragic end, the Chilliwack Cultural Centre presents a very special “Mother’s Day with Pasty Cline,” starring Bonnie Kilroe. Kilroe has appeared from Alaska to Antarctica with three suitcases full of costumes and wigs impersonating everyone from Cher, Barbra Streisand to Lady Gaga in sold out shows. Since she started her Patsy Cline impersonations, Kilroe has added many other characters, including Liza Minelli, Marilyn Monroe, Tina Turner, Cher and Dolly Parton. “But Patsy is still my favourite,” she

admits. The music of Cline, a country music pioneer, still grows in stature and popularity almost four decades after her untimely death. Kilroe captures the unique vocal talent and re-creates the flamboyant fashion styling and passion of Patsy Cline with uncanny accuracy. Kilroe’s Tribute to Patsy Cline brings alive the songs you loved to hear Patsy sing, like “Crazy,” “Sweet Dreams,” “Walking after Midnight,” “I Fall to Pieces” and many more, bringing the audience back to gentler times of life with great music and superb showmanship. Audience participation is encouraged and adds an extra element of novelty and surprise. Natural comic timing, striking looks and versatile vocals make for a mesmerizing feast for your entertainment senses. Even if you have never heard of Cline’s songs you will walk away a fan of both the legend and her stage look-alike. ◗ For more information on Bonnie Kilroe visit www.celebrity-imposters.com. Two shows are scheduled for 4 and 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $34, $29 for seniors. For tickets call the centre box office at 604391-SHOW (7469) or visit in-person Monday to Friday 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday and Sunday 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets are also available online at www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca.

have her tested for CF,” MaryAnn says. “Her instincts were correct. My beautiful, blondehaired, blue-eyed baby had cystic fibrosis. Those words again. That shocking moment of staring at my perfectlyformed baby and knowing that a tiny defect inside the cells in her body would change the course of her life.” Thanks to advancements in CF treatment, Lauren is healthy at 13—she is an athlete, a musician, an artist, socially vibrant and thrilled with life, according to MaryAnn. While Lauren’s schoolmates are hoping to raise money for research on May 2, Mary-Ann is going to ride her bike with the goal of raising $5,000 for research. She said she is riding for Lauren, who faces each day of therapy and medications with little complaint, for her other daughter Alexis who is the understanding sibling, and for her brother Andrew, who she never met. “And in memory of my mother who gave my daughter the gift of an early diagnosis,” she says. Mary-Ann and 14 other riders will participate in the Gear Up For CF ride, which will cover 1,200 kilometres over nine days from Banff to B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. The cyclists will arrive in Chilliwack after the second last leg on June 25 before heading to Vancouver on June 26. ◗ For more information on CF visit www.cff.org/aboutCF/ faqs.

ary-Ann Clift doesn’t suffer from cystic fibrosis but the debilitating condition touched her life as a child and again as a mother. Mary-Ann’s daughter, Lauren, a Grade 8 student at G.W. Graham, suffers from cystic fibrosis (CF), a disease that causes cycles of lung infection, serious digestion problems, breathing issues and can lead to early death. Music students at G.W. Graham decided to support Lauren with a concert scheduled for the school’s theatre on May 2 at 7 p.m. and featuring a wide variety of music from classical to jazz. Mary-Ann was first touched by CF as a young child fascinated by a photograph in her home of a baby boy sitting on a rocking horse under a Christmas tree. “He was looking up in wonder at the silver icicles hanging down from the branches,” Mary-Ann says. “He had red hair. I think that is what fascinated me the most because no one else in our immediate family had red hair. He was my brother that had lived and passed away at 11 months of age the year before I was born.” Her little brother, Andrew, died after being hospitalized with a bad cold. He had cystic fibrosis. Thirty years later in 1997, Mary-Ann’s second daughter was born and at three weeks old she dropped below her birth weight, seemingly for no reason. “My mother insisted that we take her to the doctor and

In Venice Beach, watch the kaleidoscope of characters strolling along this stretch of classic beach and enjoy the funky shops. Finally, head over to 90210: Beverly Hills. Gape at the latest designer fashions; and try to ignore the price tags at the approximately 65 retail outlets on Rodeo Drive and the surrounding streets that comprise the area’s “Golden Triangle.” L.A. may seem huge and daunting at first, but if you try to avoid the freeways and take it in small pieces, it really is a remarkable city.

San Francisco.

As if San Diego’s 70 miles of coastline and sunny weather weren’t enough, the city is also home to museums, a world-renowned zoo, theme parks, famous golf courses, and a lively theater scene, spectacular beaches, as well as great food, shopping and nightlife in the historic downtown quarter. The world-famous SeaWorld has something for everyone. Thrill to the dolphins and Shamu, the Killer Whale and ride the Journey to Atlantis more than a few times. The San Diego Zoo is more than a zoo: it is a sanctuary for thousands of animals, a landscape of rare plants from all climates on Earth. San Diego is home to more than 90 golf courses in every conceivable setting from oceanfront to desert to mountains. Golf is a year-round pursuit here, with more playable days than anywhere else in the Country. There’s just something about being in San Diego that makes it hard to stop smiling.

Los Angeles

Th ti iin Lo An le is never what hat to do, d The question Los Angeles but where to begin. The city is home to many famous attractions including amusement parks, architectural landmarks, art museums and galleries, beaches, parks, restaurants and endless shopping. After the sun goes down, there’s an abundance of nightlife, as well as an overwhelming variety of live music, comedy and theatre. L.A. is also home

San Francisco is considered one of the greatest and most romantic cities in the world for many things, including breathtaking beauty, classic hotels, ﬁvestar dining, a happening art and theater scene, Asian, hippie, gay and lesbian culture.

San Francisco

Check out the city’s hippie history with a visit to Haight Ashbury. Set sail to Alcatraz from Pier 33 and head for The Rock, the maximum-security prison, which operated from 1934 to 1963. Say hi to the Sea Lions of Pier 39 while you are there. For shoppers: Union Square boutiques offer up top designers; South of Market hosts outlets with cut-rate clothing; Haight Ashbury has hip threads, tie dye and every type of counter-culture accessory imaginable. A visit to the Museum of Modern Art is a must. The de Young Museum and Legion of Honor both feature some of the most extraordinary art collections anywhere. You can visit North America’s largest Chinatown. The main shopping areas are along Grant Avenue, but don’t be shy to adventure into the alleys lined with restaurants, colourful markets and shops. Venture into North Beach for a cappuccino in this hip old Italian and bohemian neighborhood. Visit Fisherman’s Wharf for some clam chowder and sourdough bread. Don’t forget to pick up some chocolate from Ghirardelli Square while you’re there. The city’s rollicking cable cars make it easy to get up and down to some serious exploration. San Francisco. You can truly leave your heart there.

Give yourself a Gift in HHS

t’s not often the Harrison Festival Society is able to present theatre in the smaller, more intimate venue of Harrison Memorial Hall but Julia Mackey’s one-act play Jake’s Gift fits the bill. The society presents the profound and often funny theatre production, which won best play at the Winnipeg, Edmonton and Victoria Fringe Festivals, and which will be presented as a matinee performance May 8 at 2 p.m. in the Harrison Memorial Hall. Jake’s Gift runs 60 minutes and will be followed by a discussion with playwright and actor McK-

promising young musician. In June 2004, Mackey herself travelled to Normandy for the 60th anniversary of D-Day. During that eight-day journey, she interviewed dozens of Canadian, British and American veterans who had returned for the ceremonies. The stories they shared with Julia and her own life-long interest in the Second World War inspired the development of the play.

ay over desserts, tea and coffee (included in ticket price). Jake’s Gift is a surprisingly funny drama that tells the story of a Canadian Second World War veteran who reluctantly returns to Normandy, for the 60th anniversary of D-Day. While revisiting the beach he landed on 60 years earlier, Jake encounters Isabelle, a precocious 10-year-old from the local village whose inquisitive nature and charm challenge the old soldier to confront some long-ignored ghosts—most notably, the war-time death of his eldest brother Chester, a once

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Chase money. Your charm and magnetism hit high strokes all week – use this in the pursuit of money, or in love’s service. The main thing is, don’t waste this time – five of eight planets are in Aries! This gives you extra kick, clout and luck – and hints that whatever happens now is significant in terms of your entire 80 or 90 years. Other than a bit of deception Wednesday morn, and a sluggish Saturday, this is a lucky, smooth week. Get things done! Two cautions: A partner or competitor has the upper hand. Don’t fight. If you oppose authority you’ll lose. Taurus April 20-May 20: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness climb, especially Monday onward. Get out, be seen, start significant projects. Your “world wide” luck is still a bit low, but that will change soon. June 4 will bring almost 13 months of huge, decade-high luck, particularly in finances, investments, debt, sex, lifestyle changes and commitments in legal, educational, cultural or travel areas that somehow turn your life around. So some of your energy right now might be wellspent preparing for future (near future!) action. Tap government, charities, researchers: They will aid. Gemini May 21-June 20: Your energy is a bit low, so don’t put yourself in a “performance situation.” Rest, protect your health, dress sensibly, eat right. Fulfil obligations, but ignore those who clamour. You’re still in a period in which big wishes, lifemate needs and social yearnings are likely to be fulfilled. Some things can prevent this: first, deep, heart-bending romance, creative outpourings or taking big risks; second, investments, lifestyle changes, health, or “deep sex.” Of these, the “second” will be lucky June 2011 to June 2012; the “first” will begin to improve after mid-2012. Wish!

Cancer June 21-July 22: You optimism, popularity and delight rise (all week, but especially Monday/ Tuesday). Social joys, flirtations, wish fulfilment and entertainment arrive! Make and accept invitations. Wishes might particularly come true in career, status and business areas. Something really significant has been building here for some months, and has either already offered a big step up for you, or will soon. Be alert, eager and ambitious. Two things can impede your advance: a partner, mate or competitor (or a “stubborn public”) or a home situation that demands compromise. Rest, plan midweek. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Be ambitious – you can make strides upward now. Although you might not see discernible progress, you’re “preparing the way” for a great run of luck in career, business, status and prestige areas from early June right into June 2012. So plug away, especially Monday. A major trend still flows through your areas of law, love, culture, far travel, education, publishing and intellectual endeavours. This is a lucky, surprising influence, so be ready to say “Ah, ha!” and embrace what comes – now into 2018, these zones (e.g., travel, school) could bring your mate for life! Happiness, midweek! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: The big action, significant occurrences remain heavily weighted toward sexual bonds, intimate commitments, lifestyle changes, research, secrets, financial actions, investments, debts, consequences – and, overall, luckily so! But a new element enters now, an element of peace and understanding, of wisdom and compassion. You can decide to make a commitment while you’re clear about the results. Legalities, love and ethics also enter. This can bring sex with love, great cooperation with another, investments that are ethical also. Monday, Thursday, Friday support your efforts.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Though deep sexual, financial and health themes arise in May, a strong and lucky accent remains on relationships, marriage, business partnerships, fame and public relations, contracts and negotiations, litigation, relocation and opportunities in general. You’re cautious, 2010 to late 2012 – that’s good, but caution seldom grabs the prize. You have to leap, too. You know there’s at least one thing or person to leap to, and of course, reasons to and not to. My advice: Leap. A love affair, pregnancy, new financial picture, new domicile, even new country could result. Wow – life! Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Though most of the luck and action of your life remain in the machinery, work and health realm, that won’t last past June. May brings intriguing meetings, partnership proposals, dealings with others, new contacts – and, perhaps, ideas/visions of new places you’d like to be, either across the globe or up the ladder of success. Maintain your equilibrium and sense of diplomacy this month, don’t fight or argue. Realize some of the new urges and new contacts that arise now hint at, might even develop into, the huge, lucky opportunities that arrive this June to June 2012. (Hints Monday.) Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Powerful luck, trends, movement, change still affect your romantic, creative, child-oriented, pleasure-seeking, speculative and sports zones (to June 4), but another trend moves in through May: Work. Work, health, machinery, duties, all that good stuff. As these don’t combine that well, usually, I’d split my time between them. Keep your eye on that quiet, deep long-term goal, too. Monday brings work success. Life’s filled with opportunities Wednesday noon to Friday noon – if you know how to co-operate, to accent another’s needs/desires. Soon, a major work project!

View the school, meet the Teachers, and see the classroom. Children are welcome. Location: 45305 Watson Rd. (Rm.2 Watson Elementary School) For information call: Anette 604-798-4376

May 1 - 7 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The weeks ahead successfully combine security and expansion. Although romance,creativity,speculation and pleasure are accented in May, your luck in real estate, home, security, retirement, “Mother Nature” and similar zones continues strongly – but only to early June. If you’ve been hesitating about buying (repairing, renovating) that home or starting that retirement fund or garden, or about having a child, you should act soon. (One exception: real estate might be luckier if you wait until after May 10.) Romance Tuesday. Tackle chores midweek to Friday. Diplomacy, Saturday! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Pay attention to your “base,” especially Monday/Tuesday – family members, home, security, these deserve attention all month. You might have frequent visitors, or be travelling around town a lot, texting or phoning – but as the weeks pass, this travel and talk gently subside, to bring you, by June, into a year of quiet, peaceful domestic bliss. Or luck, at least, for some homebased friction will exist, mid-May through June. Romance and/or creativity, games and gambles pull you Wednesday to Friday. A Gemini might be involved. All’s ﬁne! Chores, Saturday. Rest, nap all week. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: This is a pretty smooth, easy week – though Saturday (May 7) might be a little frustrating or rocky. The accent lies on short trips, acquaintances, siblings, paperwork, details, messaging. Be curious, follow your nose. Since money matters are still blessed (into early June) the best course would be to use this communications and fact-oriented period in the pursuit of money, to communicate with clients or potential employers, VIPs, etc. (Monday is good for this.) Your home life, family, security and diet (nutrients) gain importance Wednesday-Friday: Good results! timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
