Feds kick in $100K for archives BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

on Denman is a pretty lowkey guy, but $100,000 has a way of making one shout “Ya-Hoooo!” That’s what Denman says he exclaimed when he opened a letter from Canadian Heritage Minister James Moore and read that the Chilliwack Museum and Archives had been successful in its applica-

Museum still hopes to raise another $45,000 tion for a grant of $102,600. Denman got the letter a few weeks ago and has been keeping the news under wraps until he could share it with the public at a fundraiser planned for Thursday night at the new archives building. The money will go towards the $250,000 Denman hopes to raise to outfit the recently built addition to

the museum’s archives collection at Evergreen Hall. The museum must match the government’s contribution, but that’s already taken care of, with the museum having spent the past few years saving cash reserves with an expanded archives in mind. “It was a crucial part of the whole thing for sure, so we’re very grateful

for that,” Denman told the Times. The city already covered the cost of the building and some shelving for the archives and when the news of the grant came in, the archives had already begun what Denman calls Phase 1 of its work to purchase shelving and storage units. But the $100,000 allowed Denman to kick off a second phase. The

On Wednesday morning, Mayor Sharon Gaetz was interviewed by CBC Radio about the project and if she ever thought the site could become a destination casino. She said the 2009 vote to approve the gaming centre, which includes slot machines, was a close one, but just four people spoke against the project at a five-hour public hearing. She added that any expansion of the gaming centre would again trigger a public hearing and approval from the city. Before CBA even applied to create a gaming centre, the application was expected by city hall, so a survey of 300 community members was conducted in 2008 to gauge opinions. Opposition to a community gaming centre was measured at 46 per cent, and was similar to the opposition to a destination casino at 47 per cent. However, 57 per cent said they were

he Chilliwack Football Club (CFC) is taking another crack at partnering with a local school to establish a soccer skills academy. On Tuesday, the Chilliwack school board gave Mount Slesse middle school the green light to pursue a partnership with the local soccer club and set up a 10-month soccer academy at the school. CFC pursued a similar project with Chilliwack middle school in 2009 under for mer head coach Ian Knight, but that project failed to attract sufficient interest, according to current CFC head coach Glenn Wilson. “There was an attempt to do it there, but it never got off the ground,” he said. Wilson is confident things will be different at Mount Slesse since CFC registrations (especially for the club’s rep programs) are concentrated in the area. “The catchment area of Mount Slesse school and Vedder school is a real hub of soccer talent,” said Wilson, who will coach the academy along with fellow CFC coach James Marshall. “I was so pleased when they approached us because I thought if there was one school where somebody said, ‘Where would you want to have a soccer academy?’ I would have chosen that school.” The cost of the program, which will begin in the fall, is $600 for the year. Parents will pay a $200 deposit up front and then $40 per month for the rest of the year. “We want to ensure that

Charities green light sale

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

f the sale of Chilliwack Bingo’s operation and assets to Great Canadian Gaming Corporation (GCGC) ever means the city will have a destination casino, Chilliwack will have to wait and see. Last Saturday, the 49 charities that make up the Chilliwack Bingo Association (CBA) voted to accept the offer from GCGC to purchase the operation, which includes approval for the development of a community gaming centre. Representatives for GCGC made a presentation to CBA members at a meeting after which a vote was held, according to CBA general manager Fran Heagy. Heagy would not say how the result of the vote to ratify the deal went. GCGC still had to take the deal to its board, and an announcement is expected later this week. GCGC vice-president Howard Blank said he could not comment on the deal until after a conference call with investors scheduled for Thursday. Blank also said at this point he could

not speculate on any future plans. GCGC owns gaming centres in Maple Ridge and Dawson Creek, Hastings Racecourse and five casinos in B.C. The company also owns two race tracks in Ontario, two casinos in Nova Scotia and four casinos in Washington State. As part of the deal for the operation and the five-acre site on Olds Road, the CBA will received “a substantial immediate consideration” in addition to ongoing payments of an undisclosed amount from the gaming operation for 20 years. Blank has said that gaming revenues of $11.1 million in 2009-10 made Chilliwack Bingo the most successful community bingo operation in the province. The CBA’s 49 charities were behind the expansion proposal approved by Chilliwack city council in a 4-3 vote on September 14, 2009. There was some controversy and opposition because of the inclusion of slot machines at the new facility. The deal allows member charities in the CBA to continue to receive money from the operation without any fiscal or

Ladies have a blast

Home sales all wet BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

BY JEAN KONDA-WITTE JKonda-Witte@abbotsfordtimes.com

other’s Day weekend took a bit of a different twist for 100 excited women, who descended on the firing range of Ridgedale Rod and Gun Club in Abbotsford for Ladies Day on May 7. The event included live firearms practice with pistols, rifles, shotguns, archery, and, of course, a hot lunch. “It was lots of fun,” said Gillian Kitchen, a grandmother from Chilliwack, who admitted this was the first time she had ever even held a gun. She joined women of all ages, from moms and grandmas to teens. Abbotsford’s Amy Bickley, a novice shooter, found this the perfect opportunity to introduce the sport to some of her female friends. “This kind of event is very rare, especially a ladies-only event,” she said, adding the ratio of men to women on the range is usually about 20-to-one at best. The day began with a lengthy orientation of basic firearms knowledge for all.

Amy Bickley/for the Times

The Ridgedale Rod and Gun Club in Abbotsford held a Ladies Day on May 7. “The women around us chattered nervously, and we overheard [them] admit that this was their first time with a firearm,” said Bickley. “The stuffed animal heads on the walls looked down at us while we ate our hot lunch.” Kitchen was impressed and put at ease with the safety aspects of the event. “We weren’t even allowed near the gun until the instructor was there,” she said.

First up were the pistols (handguns) and each woman was allowed to shoot 10 rounds with a .22-calibre handgun and another 10 rounds with a 9-mmcalibre handgun. Members from the gun club were on hand to help each woman with loading, holding and operating the weapon. “Each lady was grinning as they collected their targets and showed their friends their little holes, exclaiming about how well they did,” said Bickley. The day also included shooting on

the archery range, with traditional recurve and longbows, and composite bows. But the real action was at the rifle range, where each guest tried her hand with a .22 and worked her way up to the long distance rifles with a bigger kickback. “The grand finale was looking down the scope, shooting four rounds into a target so distant we couldn’t see if we hit it or not without binoculars, and then a balloon,” said Bickley.

Tw e n t y - f o u r d a y s o f precipitation made it the “most dismal” April since the 26 rainy days in April 1993, according to Roger Pannett, volunteer weather observer for Environment Canada in Chilliwack.

It hasn’t been a great start to 2011 as rain continues to make life miserable BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

n case you hadn’t noticed, 2011 has been wetter than normal. Over the first four months of this year, there has been 20 per cent more precipitation than the 30-year average, according to Roger Pannett, local volunteer weather observer for Environment Canada. At 914.8 millimetres (mm) over 86 rainy days, Chilliwack has been a lot wetter than the normal of 760.8 mm over 68 days. The January-to-April period was the coldest period since 1985 and the wettest since 1982. And April was really soggy with 182.5 mm

of rain over 24 days. That’s 44 per cent above normal making it the second wettest April since Chilliwack sawa 193.7 mm in 1996. The low freezing levels also produced heavy mountain snowfalls and three days with wet snow in the Fraser Valley, according to Pannett. The average temperature for April was 7.66 C, which compares to the 9.5 C 30-year average. The cause of the weather was the jet stream that remained predominantly south of the province throughout the month. This led to an unusually cool, unstable air mass from the Gulf of Alaska that was entrenched over B.C., according to Pannett. Only two brief weak ridges of high pressure produced four sunny days. That compares to 24 days of precipitation, the most dismal April since the 26 rainy days in April 1993. The temperature high was 19.9 C on April 23, the lowest maximum April temperature in 25 years. The temperature low for the month was –0.5 C on April 20, 5.1 C below normal. Last month was the coldest April since 1975 and the fifth coldest on record.

Seeking volunteers to make Party in the Park greener

he fifth edition of the summer Party in the Park event series will have a green twist this year. The City of Chilliwack will be showcasing a new system to collect food leftovers, but they need help to showcase the new program. “We are looking to the people of Chilliwack to adopt this new initiative” said Kathy Funk, executive director of the Downtown Business Improvement Association. She said in order for this to be a success, the city is looking for volunteers to work at the diversion stations. The volunteers will be trained by the city in how to educate the users on which place to put their organics and recycling. The Party in the Park begin July 8 and run each Friday night from 5 to 10 p.m. until Aug.

26. Party in the Park market manager Mandy Watts said “I am thrilled to be a part of this great program and am working with the food vendors to also embrace this greening idea.” The plan is to encourage use of recycled utensils and plates by the vendors and to encourage customers with cup discounts for those using their own containers. “Most people are willing to do their part in going green and this is what makes this program so exciting.” The BIA will also sell “Party in the Park” travel mugs and have bulk water available free of charge to those who bring their own containers. ◗ Volunteer applications are available online at www.downtownchilliwack.com.

Speak up on garbage BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

he Fraser Valley Regional District is asking the public for their thoughts on a new draft plan for the valley’s garbage. The FVRD has begun a two-month consultation process during which the public is being asked for its input into the 36-page plan (which also includes six appendices). While the region isn’t facing the same scale of trash problems felt by Vancouverites, there is still a need to better manage our garbage, the plan notes. “For solid waste that has traditionally been disposed of in our region, the lifespan of our existing landfills is sufficient to carry us past the 10 year forecasting of this current update to the Plan,” it states. “As a result, no new local disposal sites will be pursued at this time.” But a conservative estimate of personal waste disposal rates and population forecasts will mean a doubling in the volume of solid waste over the next 25 years. The FVRD hopes to reverse the trends and decrease how much trash gets, well, trashed in the future. The plan sets out strategies that aim to: reduce waste generation; divert waste toward productive uses; and better manage the region’s trash. ARCHIVES, from page 1 they can’t emit any gases that could harm the collection. The building is now finished and over the next month the shelving purchased in phase one will be moved in to the sparkling addition. Denman thinks that when the archive addition is complete, people will be taken aback by

One such strategy to increase diversion is to “maximize participation through convenience,” the idea being that the easier it is to recycle, the more people will refrain from trashing recyclable waste. The existence of an unknown number of landfills on First Nations land complicates the planning process, because FVRD is unsure about how much waste is disposed of—and thus generated—within the entirety of the FVRD. The regional district also assumes “that considerable quantities of waste from outside of this region are migrating to these facilities due to lower tipping fees and differing disposal bans.” (With that in mind, FVRD hopes to discuss trash issues with First Nations reps with an eye on better managing the region’s trash supply.) But even with the amount of trash going into First Nations landfills unaccounted for, the report estimates that each person sends about 630 kilograms of waste, or 1,386 pounds, to the landfill each year. ◗ The FVRD will host open houses on the trash plan on May 19 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Agassiz Agricultural Hall, and on May 31 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Chilliwack Fire Hall No. 1.

Vast collection the scale of the museum’s collection. “I think they’ll be really surprised by the extent of our collection, the breadth of the collection and the depth of what we have.” An open house is planned for September once the shelving is completely installed.

How many Rotarians does it take to change a light bulb in an orphanage in Mexico? A. About 1.2 million . . . because we’re all in this together. So starts a series of clever riddles I put together (did you think I would have thought the idea clever if it had come from someone else?) for a presentation I did at my Rotary club—the Rotary Club of Langley Central—a few years ago. Over the years, I’ve used the riddles in short series highlighting some of the tremendous work that Rotary does in the community and throughout the world, and focusing on the co-operation between Rotarians and Rotary clubs everywhere to achieve their humanitarian goals. Each riddle hits on a Rotary project, like Polio Plus which has nearly but not quite yet eradicated polio from the world, or fighting malaria with mosquito nets in places like Malawi, or providing water to rural villages in Tanzania and elsewhere, or bringing library books and literacy to countries like Guatamala, or building and supplying orphanages, medical clinics, and schools all over the developing world, or . . . well, the list just goes on and on and on and on . . . The answer to each riddle in the series is the same: a reference to the 1.2 million people who have chosen Rotary as an avenue of serving humanity together throughout the world.

BOB GROENEVELD

Be Our Guest But the last question is always, “How many Rotarians does it take to change the world?” And the answer always is, “Just one . . . because we’re all in this together.” Last weekend, Rotary International District No. 5050—which comprises a few dozen Rotary clubs from the FraserValley up to Hope and across the border down into Washington State—held its annual conference, a grand affair that celebrates Rotary, Rotarians, and their combined goals and achievements. Every time I go to one of these things I am amazed anew by what a bunch of volunteers with common goals can achieve by working together. And it’s even more impressive to realize how much can be done when those volunteers are part of a network that spans continents. Take that whole Polio Plus thing I mentioned earlier. Working with UNICEF and a host of disparate governments and others around the world, Rotary has taken a leadership role in the drive to eradicate the crippling disease, in much the same fashion (although the mechanism is a bit more complicated)

that smallpox was completely eradicated a few decades ago. Rotarians have donated hundreds of millions of dollars and uncountable hours of volunteer time (including human and diplomatic connections of incalculable value) to drive polio from a menace that destroyed millions of lives throughout the world to one that remains as a rump in just a handful of places. The danger is that, if the worldwide vaccination effort were to stall in just one country before the bug is completely destroyed, the ravages of polio could—and would—return to being a global threat again. Mostly human stumbling blocks have got in the way of achieving the goal of total polio eradication by 2005, set when the effort was first launched by Rotary in the mid-1980s. But for the past few years, we’ve been “This Close” to getting there—and that’s the focus of a clever and important advertising campaign (which I think is clever and important even if I didn’t think of it myself) that you’ll soon start noticing, as Rotary hopes to lead the world in a final drive to push polio out of existence. It’s an opportunity for every individual one of us—whether or not you are a Rotarian (or a Lion or a Kiwanian or whatever)—to change the world. ◗ Bob Groeneveld is the editor of the Langley Advance.

ritish Columbia’s health system got a long-overdue dose of common sense this week when the province announced it would start covering the cost of nicotine gum and smoking-cessation drugs. The plan, which doctors have been advocating for a decade, makes sense in both economic and humanitarian terms. The $25 million it will cost taxpayers to help cut smokers’ cravings pales in comparison to the $600 million we lay out annually to treat those who fail to quit, and the estimated $2.3 billion their health problems cost the economy. Given the clear potential for return on investment, it’s baffling it has taken us until now to make this change. In fact, it would pay us to extend this kind of thinking into other areas of health care. In recent years, the province has tried to trim spiralling health costs by shifting increasingly toward a user-pay model. This may seem like an obvious and necessary move, but in the long term, it may well cost us far more than it saves. When certain treatments—those involving prescription drugs, for instance—are expensive enough to dissuade low-income patients from taking them, and where those treatments are necessary to avoid the worsening of a condition, penny pinching will ultimately leave taxpayers out of pocket. This is not to say the public purse can cover medical costs of every type, but a careful analysis of user-pay treatments could uncover many areas—like nicotine gum—where spending a dime will save us a dollar while at the same time improving lives.

Not fair game for thieves

Bruin support wasn’t there Editor: There’s been a lot of talk lately about why the Bruins left. Specifically, “who do we blame?” Some say the failure lies with the arrival of the AHL franchise down the road. But the Abbotsford Heat played only a very minimal role in the demise of the Bruins. That role amounts to the loss of only a couple hundred season ticket holders, and a few walk-ups, especially during the playoffs. That revenue (arguably $200,000/year) is the gravy (aka ownership profit) on the balance sheet. Improved marketing and media coverage (which actually started the same year as the Heat started) would have made up the difference over time. The fans that “switched brands” were either 1) Flames fans, 2) fairweather hockey fans, or mainly 3) Abbotsford residents. The Abbotsford arena is 32 kilometres from Chilliwack. Driving the highway at night in the winter to watch the Calgary Flames farm team is only worth it to a few die-hard support-

The loss of Abbotsfordbased corporate sponsorship had more of an effect then the decrease in ticket sales, but even that wasn’t enough to kill the team. The collapse of the Bruins is due to two causes: 1) management and 2) community support. Chilliwack has about 80,000 residents. There’s another 5,000 or so that use the city as a service hub. If Swift Current, a city of 16,000 can support a WHL team how can a city with five times as many people not? Blaming the “big” guys down the road is unfitting. Abbotsford has a population of over 160,000. Add to that Mission, Langely and Surrey, and you’re approaching 700,000 people within a 40-minute drive of the Entertainment & Sports Centre. With a market that size, do you really think they care about the handful of bumpkins to the east? Chilliwack has had several junior teams over the years. The last team before the Bruins was the Chiefs; oddly enough the ‘parent’ corporation of the Bruins was the CDG (Chiefs Development Group). For a Junior A franchise, the Chiefs had a large fan base, due to good management and a winning product. They had strong corporate support and decent revenues. That was part of the motivation for putting a WHL team here. Although the idea of a WHL team was inspiring to some, many hockey fans were disappointed when their champion Chiefs were replaced with a developing (and losing) team. Still, the Bruins had more season ticket holders, corporate sponsors, and media coverage (despite the lack of an official radio broadcast for their first three seasons). But that support was fragile. Chilliwack is full of cheap, ignorant, negative and unmotivated people who aren’t interested in building community. It’s a mix of hard-core religious adherents, criminals (primar-

ily grow-op owners), and grouchy retirees that can’t afford to live elsewhere. Scathing remarks? Yes. But I live here, so I stand by them. There’s also a lot of young families, students and community-minded small businesses owners interested in seeing their city blossom. That’s the supporters. But those supporters are on tight budgets. Being a “booster” of your city only goes so far. I do believe Chilliwack should be given the chance to support another WHL franchise, but not for a few years. Sure, the team is a private business, but it’s an “industry” that impacts the culture of a community, and is regarded as a pillar of a city’s identity. Chilliwack needs time to realize this, and understand that it takes time to build a winning product. The city needs to be hungry in order for hockey (especially WHL) to work here. Additionally, the franchise needs a “clean slate” of management and staff, and should have local ownership. And by local, I don’t mean an office in Vancouver. Chilliwack deserves better. But we also need to be better. Peter Jennings Sardis

Thanks for help after accident Editor: Re: Doing good. I just want to thank Constable Boivin and my accident witness, Dustin Hall, for their kind assistance on Sunday. I hadn’t planned on spending Mother’s Day involved in a vehicle collision, but their help made it more tolerable. It’s a pleasure to acknowledge community people doing good. K.C. Curry Chilliwack

Editor: To the person or persons who seem to believe that my neighbours are donating their cans and bottles to benefit you rather than for the BC Cancer Foundation. For the past six years, I have put a utility trailer in front of my house to collect recyclable cans and bottles to benefit the Weekend to End Women’s Cancers. I never had any problems with theft until last year. For the first time, I had someone help themselves to a few of my bottles. That was annoying, but this year I’ve already had two black garbage bags full of bottles taken from my pink, wellmarked trailer. Now maybe, you really do need the money more than a cure for cancer is needed, but somehow, I really doubt it. My friends and neighbours save their cans and bottles, waiting all winter for the trailer to appear at the end of my driveway. I usually raise several hundred dollars each year in this manner. I find it terribly sad to think that someone in my neighbourhood has so little respect for me and my efforts, and for the generosity of my friends and neighbours. What is our world coming to when donations to a charity are fair game for thieves? Debra Haas Sardis Park

Water poster contest

Open to students in Grades 4-6

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

hilliwack has some of the best quality water in the world—water that comes from an aquifer pushed to its limits. Yet water is still wasted every day by some residents and the City of Chilliwack wants to once again remind the public about our precious water with its water conservation poster contest for kids.

Submitted artwork

Last year’s winner in the city’s water conservation poster contest was Anchal Kataria. The contest is open to all Chilliwack students currently enrolled in Grades 4 to 6. The grand prize is a piz-

za party for the winning student’s class delivered by Mayor Sharon Gaetz. Posters must have a water conservation theme and contain a water-saving tip. Entries should be on an 8.5-inch-by-11-inch piece of paper and include the student’s first and last name, grade, teacher and school name on the back of entry. Entries should be dropped off at the school board office at 8340 Cessna Dr. or at the front desk at city hall on 8550 Young Rd. by May 20 at 4:30 p.m. Last year’s winner was Anchal Kataria, a Grade 5 student at Sardis elementary who won the pizza party delivered by the mayor.

Sanborn sentencing BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

ocal development consultant and former City of Chilliwack director of development Grant Sanborn was scheduled to be sentenced Thursday afternoon in Chilliwack court for his conviction of using a forged document.

ASSISTANCE, from page 1 its program in 2010 on a budget of just under $1 million, all money that came from donations and foundations. “We get no government support,” Pidwerbeski told theTimes. PADS has about 80 dogs active in Western Canada, about 60 to 65 of which are in B.C. Despite the low numbers of dogs out there, Pidwerbeski said as many as half a million British Columbians could use an assistance dog in some way. “We can’t possibly fulfill the needs of everyone,” he said. The process begins with PADS getting 12-week-old dogs either from outside breeders or the organization’s own breeders. They are then given to a volunteer puppy raiser for a year who brings the dog to a class every single week to learn obedience and the 50-plus commands. At 10 to 14 months old, the dogs are assessed and some are given advanced training to become assistance dogs. Clients like McRae pay a $700 application fee and then the cost of some equipment and the specialized food Leahy eats. Leahy doesn’t just help McRae with her day-today chores. She helps with McRae’s work dealing with mentally ill individuals using music and canine-assisted therapy. “A dog is wonderful and non-judgmental,” she said. McRae said dogs can help break barriers between counsellors and mentally ill people. One example McRae gives was of a woman in a psychiatric unit at a hospital. The woman did not speak and a psychologist brought in a dog specially trained to deal with patients. “The woman picked up a brush and brushed the dog,” McRae said. “After she brushed the dog for a while she started to cry.” The interaction with the dog somehow allowed the woman to open up in a way that human interaction was incapable of doing. Assistance dogs can save lives as well.

SENIOR, from page 1

Sanborn used what was called a “cutand-paste” forgery with clients who thought he had sent in a home site severance application to the Agricultural Land Commission that was never submitted. In March, Crown counsel lawyer Stephen Cooke said he was seeking a fine or suspended sentence or combination thereof. Sanborn’s lawyer Alexander Willms requested a discharge. At that time Justice Roy Dickey postponed sentencing until May 3 so that he could review case law. He then postponed sentencing again until May 12. Visit www.chilliwacktimes.com Thursday afternoon for an update on the result.

They can save lives

In once case, a paraplegic man in Merritt who lives alone with his assistance dog fell over in his wheel chair as he was entering his house. “He told the dog to go get the phone so he could call 911,” McRae said. “Sometimes the dogs can be a matter of life and death.” Pidwerbeski said he has heard of similar incidents. One involved a PADS client who had a seizure in the bathroom and fell between the toilet and the sink. The dog got the phone, the man was able to call 911 and the dog went and opened the door for the paramedics. Because assistance dogs are so uncommon, the public and some businesses don’t understand them. McRae said she sometimes gets rejected trying to go into certain establishments. Once, at a restaurant in Harrison Hot Springs, she was told to tie her dog up outside. McRae was with a friend and because of that restaurant staff said “Your friend can help you.” “But Leahy helps me to be independent,” McRae said. “They missed the point.” Pidwerbeski said if he had heard of this incidents he would have called the restaurant to explain they could face a fine and that rejecting an assistance dog is a humanrights violation. “They can’t refuse them,” he said. “It has legal public access rights according to the B.C. Guide Animal Act, which supersedes all other acts because the dog is attached to the disabled person.” For anyone who sees an assistance dog out in public, Pidwerbeski advises against petting the dog without permission. As for how you can help PADS, the organization never has a shortage of dogs, but they do have a shortage of volunteers. “We always need puppy raisers, but you have to come to puppy class in Burnaby,” he said. ◗ Visit PADSat www.pads.ca.

controlled substance and possession for the purpose of trafficking have been recommended. Police say the house was likely used exclusively to traffic marijuana, but the pot was probably grown elsewhere. Mounties say several concerned neighbours complained to them of the “very strong smell of marijuana coming from the residence.” RCMP spokesperson Const. Tracy Wolbeck said the public’s assistance was vital in the bust of the home. “We rely on the public to let us know what’s going on in their neighbourhood and also be vigilant about what’s happening around them,” said Wolbeck. “Drug trafficking is a high-risk business that often brings violence and other negative influences to the communities it infects.”

“G

od will never give you more than you can handle. Have you ever heard that before? It’s one of the most misquoted verses that you will not find anywhere in the Bible. God never promised that we would never be overloaded or overwhelmed. When it comes to adversity, people are given more than they can handle all the time. Just turn on the news tonight and you will hear the story of someone or some group, or some family who is under the weight of a situation that is way beyond anything they can handle. Life is full of situations void of handles, moments where there is

Life without handles

nothing to grab, clutch, squeeze, grip, cling, seize or hold on to. For some strange reason God often allows things to happen where there are no handles to hold. I’ve had those moments and the lesson I’ve learned during those free falls in my life is that God wants me to trust him. By giving us more than we can handle God demonstrates his ability in our life to be our handle. God says, “I’m here with you. I know you feel out of control and overwhelmed. I know you hurt and you have some scars to prove it, but if you let me, I’ll get you

through this.” He then demonstrates to you how he has a handle on that thing that you have absolutely no handle on. God looks past what we want and uses the adversity we are facing to produce in us what He wants (which by the way, is always the best). Handle free moments are usually the catalyst that God uses to produce in us what we need the most. The New Testament writer Paul summed it up perfectly in a letter he wrote to a church in Rome. Here’s what he said: “We can rejoice, too, when we run into

problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.” (Romans 5:2-5) If you have a moment, read that verse again. Let it sink in.

Then stop trying to get a handle on your life and simply let go and fall into the grip of the one who holds you in the palm of his hand. When you understand that God is holding you, you realize that you have no need to hold on to anything. His grip is strong and secure, producing in you a hope that promises never to leave you disappointed. ◗ Shawn is pastor of Promontory Community Church. You can connect with him at shawn@mypcc. ca.

hilliwack’s AAA senior girls soccer teams rolled through the first round of the FraserValley Championships Tuesday. Undefeated Sardis secondary led the way with a 3-1 win over Clayton Heights secondary at home. Josie Amyotte-Kilger, Rochelle Esterhuizen and Dani Rushke each notched goals during the game. The Falcons now face Panorama Ridge at home Thursday. Kickoff is at 3 p.m. Third place Chilliwack secondary, meanwhile, (the only team in Fraser Valley East to snatch a point from Sardis during the regular season with a 1-1 tie) beat Queen Elizabeth secondary 2-1 in penalty kicks Tuesday in Surrey. The Storm now travel to Tsawwassen Thursday to take on South Delta secondary. In AA action, meanwhile, the G.W. Graham Grizzlies dropped their first game of the Fraser Valley Championships 2-1 to Surrey Christian at home on Monday and faced Abbotsford Traditional in a do-or-die game at Graham Wednesday.

Set up is the key to improve your golf game E

Alignment If you are not set up square to your target, you may be the victim of a number of swing errors.

JENNIFER GREGGAIN

Pro Tips Remember, your club face, feet, and shoulders must all be parallel to the target line. On the practice tee, try checking your alignment by placing two golf clubs on the ground, one club on your intended target line, and the other parallel to your feet. You may find a pattern to

aim a little off line. Repeat to several targets until you feel more confident with proper alignment.

Stance One of the most common set up errors that I see is incorrect stance width, which can lead to a number of tendencies, including poor weight shift. For iron shots, your stance should be shoulder width apart and a little wider for your driver. Be sure to also check the golf ball position in your stance. Play your higher to mid-lofted clubs in the

middle of your stance, placing the ball further forward in your stance with longer clubs. Play your driver the furthest forward in your stance, just inside the heel of your front foot.

Balance In your set up, ensure that your weight is evenly distributed between both feet. During your swing motion, also be sure that your balance remains on the balls of your feet in your backswing, into your downswing, and through impact. If your balance moves toward your

toes, or back onto your heels during your swing, you may run into some complicated swing path issues. Because focusing on balance is not a highly technical thought, it is also a great swing key to bring onto the golf course with you. Once you have assessed these basic tune-up fixes to your set up position, and feel that your game still needs some work, seek the advice of your local teaching pro. Some swing changes may take weeks or even months to finally see results. Be sure

to take advantage of the early season to work on any swing change issues so that your game is ready for the summer season.

She was also named the 2010 CN Canadian Women’s Tour Low Teaching Pro of the Year. She can be contacted at Bridal Falls Golf Club at 604-7947788, or at jennifergreggaingolf@gmail.com.

Teen Road-users Face Big Challenges

Family & Friends

This week Road Rules spoke to two classes of Grade 10 students at a Vancouver high school. We were invited to do so in conjunction with an assignment for their ‘English’ course: —a persuasive essay about the decision our society has made to allow 16-yearolds to begin the process of becoming licensed to drive.

HEALTH &

FITNESS CHALLENGE

THE ROAD RULES

Cedric Hughes

In preparing our presentation, we learned that the worldwide average age for beginning to qualify or indeed for fully qualifying to drive is 18. Canada’s relatively young beginning driving age is based on historical precedent related to our agrarian, natural-resource-harvesting economy with deep rural roots. The time is probably long past for questioning whether this precedent should continue to govern our largely urban world.

Congratulation’s to ourWinners Individual Category: FIRST PLACE - Kathy Miki SECOND PLACE - Brandi Gagnon THIRD PLACE - Christine Schoeffl

Our Thanks

Beginning to become licensed to drive may be the one common rite of passage from childhood into ‘mature adolescence’ that remains in our multicultural society. And the Graduated Licensing Program is such that full enjoyment of all the privileges bestowed by the Class 5 license cannot be obtained until the 19th year. Most Canadian provinces and American states have enacted Graduated Licensing Programs. They are generally regarded as significant contributors to the downward trend for crash related fatalities and injuries in North America. We weren’t aiming to overwhelm the students with details: all the various Criminal Code and Motor Vehicle Act rules, regulations, penalties and fines. Whether or not teens in particular can master all this detail is somewhat beside the point. If

HUGE Thank you to the businesses who donated the prizes listed above as well as the Media Sponsors – 89.5 the Hawk Radio & the Chilliwack Times Newspaper! We couldn’t have done this without you :)

the Graduated Licensing Program is well enough designed, teens who have difficulty mastering the detail won’t proceed through the various stages until they do so. We were aiming to focus on the fact that around the age of 16, all teens, whether or not they have decided to enroll in the GLP, are taking a giant step up to a new stage in which their status Barrister & Solicitor as a ‘road-user’ is changing more dramatically than perhaps at any other time of their life. We wanted to impress upon the students that no one can function in our society without acquiring, from the earliest age, a basic, ongoing, steadily accumulating knowledge and awareness of the rules that govern how we use and share the use of our roadways. But now they are stepping up to a level of independence and self-reliance greater than they have ever known. From being protected by their parents and other caregivers, they now have to start thinking in terms of caring for themselves and their friends in a whole new way. The kicker, we said, is that the step up to this new level, also moves them into the highest risk category for road users. (Regular readers will recall our recent article about crashes remaining the leading cause of death for young people.) We wanted to make them aware of what makes this stage so risky for teens, and what measures have been taken to attempt to minimize these risks. We applaud, and we asked them to applaud, their teacher for giving them such a real-life and potentially life-saving assignment. Cedric Hughes L.L.B. Leslie McGuffin L.L.B.

Opportunity to Join our Team As a Thrift Store Volunteer The Chilliwack Hospice Society is a community based volunteer organization which accepts death as a part of life. We support individuals and families during the dying and grieving process. We are seeking volunteers to join our team at the Thrifty Boutique located at 260 – 45428 Luckakuck Way. Volunteering at our store promises to be full of opportunity, rich with creative possibilities and personal connection.

Eliminate weeds on interlocking pathways (MS) Inter-locking brick and cobblestone are attractive choices for driveways, patios and connecting paths. Weed growth is a common problem around these pavers and, if left unchecked, can ruin the look if you don’t literally nip them in the bud. When left too long, pathway weeds soon take over and the eventual removal becomes far more difficult and far more costly. Since this growth begins in the spaces between the interlock bricks, it is largely inaccessible. If some of the roots are left behind when pulling out the weeds, these weeds will simply grow back. Alternative solutions Herbicides are under scrutiny in most municipalities and, as a result,

homeowners have developed many home-made remedies to deal with these weeds. Some examples include pouring bleach, vinegar, or boiling water on the weeds that are growing in between the paving stones. These remedies are unproven and in some cases are highly dangerous if splashed on your skin or in your eyes. “Fortunately, horticulture scientists have produced a selective herbicide that is both effective at killing weeds, but keeps the environment in mind,” says Reinie Drygala, Lawncare Products Manager for Clear Choice, a leading name in innovative garden products. “Our researchers from leading universities have tested, proven and produced a breakthrough in weed control

technology.” When shopping for herbicides, compare the label on a Clear Choice bottle to competitive products using the same active ingredients. The Clear Choice formulation contains up to 85 per cent fewer active ingredients. Using microtechnology, the Clear Choice formula contains extremely small particle droplets so that the formulation can easily penetrate into the weed. The result is that the active ingredients are used more efficiently. “This breakthrough in technology reduces the amount of active ingredient required to kill the majority of broadleaf weeds,” Drygala explained. “It is effective on at least 60 varieties, including dandelions, clover and plantain while being friendly to your lawn.”

The Thrifty Boutique not only generates revenue for the Chilliwack Hospice Society but is also an outreach to those in our community that may not feel comfortable coming to our Centre. The support given by Thrifty Boutique volunteers is a vital part of our Society by offering warm smiles, the comfort of being with others, ﬁnding Thrifty treasures and making new friends. If you feel you would like to support your community and not sure how….. This could be your calling! If you like: • designing displays • organizing • identifying treasures • meeting new people • working as a team member If you feel this may be a ﬁt for you, please contact Tammy Genzale at 604.795.4660 or email tammy@chilliwackhospice.org. If you would like to help but are unable to volunteer, donations of furniture, household items and gently used clothing would be appreciated. Please drop off donations to Thrifty Boutique’s Donation Drop-Off room, Monday – Saturday ~ 9:30 – 4:30 at 230 - 45428 Luckakuck Way. (In the BCAA shopping plaza)

SOCCER, from page 3 cost isn’t restrictive,” said Mount Slesse principal Dan Heisler. Although the school will try to find bursary money or consider deferred or extended payment options for families who might have trouble paying, Heisler said the Slesse academy will be a bargain compared to other soccer academies around the province like one in West Vancouver that costs $2,500. “We think we’re adding great value for the $600,” said Heisler.

Green Thumb In the past you could identify summer leeks by their very quick growing times (70 to 80 days) while the ‘winter’ or ‘late fall’ leeks would be identified as needing about 135 days to harvest. The original long-growing winter leeks often have dark green leaves, sometimes with purple tinges. But in the last few years hybrid leeks have been developed with a variety

In its first year the academy will be treated as pilot project, and the school is limiting applications to students who are already at Mt. Slesse. Thirty spaces, 10 for each grade at the school, will be filled on the basis of an application form, school work and a coach’s evaluation. ◗ Mount Slesse is hosting an information session for the academy at 7 p.m. on May 18 in the school’s library.

Correction

of growing times and leaf shades. Really, you need to try different kinds of leeks in your area and see what works for you. I garden in raised beds of clay loam and my favourite leek is ‘Blue Solaise.’ It is very winter-hardy and has beautiful purple-green leaves. I have been getting the seed from England (Chiltern) because I found it hard to get locally. But Saltspring Seeds started offering ‘Darcy’s Purple Leek’ this year. I’m hoping this is equally hardy. Is it possible you’re starting your leeks too late? The more time leeks have to grow outside, the fatter they get because they grow

like onions adding an extra layer as they go. Also leeks do need a lot of water—and this can be a problem for gardeners with water restrictions. Compost in leek trenches is a great idea. So is a grass clipping mulch for nutrition and to conserve water. Earthworms congregate under this mulch and get very busy improving the soil—their help is a real blessing any time, but especially if you’ve got clay. Q: We have a 30-year old rose bush that had to be moved. The root was enormous, and we were wondering if it could be cut in order to propagate another

bush. Does it need rooting medium? Elizabeth Monaghan email A: By themselves, the roots of a free-standing rose bush are highly unlikely to produce a new plant no matter how you treat it. Many roses are grafted and even if a new plant did grow from grafted roots, it would be a wild type with very different leaves and flowers from the original top growth. But if your rose bush was on its own roots and multiple-stemmed or prone to suckering, you could propagate a new rose bush by splitting off a section of root together with its attached

upright stem (or sucker). A root which contained an active suckering growth point might also become a plant. Stem cuttings could work. These usually need to be cut and plunged into soil when leaves are on the stems (August or September are the best months for this). Stem cuttings do benefit from rooting hormone. Meanwhile, leaving a few leaves on the stem will make sure photosynthesis will nourish the nodes that produce roots. ◗ Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions.

Q: I grow leeks in trenches which I fill in with compost as the plant grows. I get nice, 10-inch long white stems but the leeks are not very thick. Is it possible that the nutrients from the compost don’t get down to the roots? Bernie Epting email A: I wonder if you are growing summer leeks. These are pale green, fastgrowing and thinner than the longer-season winter ones. Names of summer leek varieties include ‘Varna,’ ‘King Richard,’ ‘Lancelot’ and ‘Jolant.’ Winter types include ‘Blue Solaise,’ ‘Durabel’ and ‘Musselburgh.’

Recipes from Toby Keith

love being a chef. Food is a universal language that touches the lives of almost everyone. No matter what road of life one travels along, chances are they have an appreciation for a good meal. If you know me and my wife Katherine, you will know of our love for not only food but also for music. Recently we had the pleasure of being introduced to country music legend Toby Keith while he was in town for his American Ride Tour. Toby Keith has taken his love for food and paired it with the success of his hit single “I Love This Bar” to create a chain of restaurants aptly named I Love This Bar & Grill. These popular honky tonkstyle restaurants are dotted across the USA and his 10th location will soon be opening in Boston. Although we have not personally visited any of his locations as of yet, they are definitely on our radar in the near future. When inquiring about any recipes from the menu he could share with my readers, we were provided with the following two. They may require a bit of improvisation on your part, depending on the ingredients available where you live, but creativity is half the fun about

Serve on a hamburger bun with Toby’s Signature BBQ Sauce, (sold in Toby’s I Love This Bar & Grill) a 1/4 cup of shredded jack and cheddar cheese mix and top with two slices of tomato and shredded lettuce. Add mayo if you like. ◗ Send your food/cooking questions to dez@chefdez. com or P.O. Box 2674, Abbotsford, B.C.V2T 6R4.

Confectioner’s Cabaret

Secondary Characters presents its second annual Confectioner’s Cabaret on May See WHAT’S ON, Page 32

t’s not over till the fat lady sings, but if mother-and-son team Bevin Van Liempt and Paula DeWitt-Krause have their way, Chilliwack will have its own homegrown opera troupe up and rehearsing by next month. The duo are launching the troupe with Gilbert and Sullivan’s lively comic opera The Pirates of Penzance, already scheduled to hit the stage at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre Aug. 18 to 21. Ultimately, the goal for the professional, for-profit organization van Liempt and DeWitt-Krause hope to establish is to bring more challenging works to the Chilliwack stage, but the well-known English operetta, about a pirate apprentice whose unlucky leap-year birthday prevents him from marrying his lady love, seemed like a good way to ease local audiences into the genre. “It’s super accessible,” said van Liempt, a singer with the Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra Chorus. “Anybody can go to a Gilbert and Sullivan show and understand what’s going on. It’s funny for everybody.” Born into local musical aristocracy as the son of deceased CSO founder and director John van Liempt and current resident CSO conductor and chorus director DeWitt-Krause, van Liempt has long felt the need for local opera. “I think every city should have an opera troupe because the music and the drama and the stories are just so timeless,” he said, “and if you miss out on that because you don’t want to drive out to Vancouver or you don’t have the money to see a show at the Orpheum, then you’re missing out on a lot for no good reason.” His musical mom agrees. “The time is ripe now because there is no opera in this town,” she said. Despite the absence of a local outlet, however, van Liempt and Dewitt-Krause say there’s no shortage of classically trained talent. “There are great teachers in town and lots of people go out for music,” said van Liempt. “Chilliwack is such a wonderful town for music. Like the people who are just getting out of high school—they have so much talent and nowhere to

Cornelia Naylor/TIMES

Paula DeWitt-Krause and son Bevin van Liempt really focus it, so they go elsewhere. I want them to be able to come here.” The two also hope to tap into opera enthusiasm in surrounding communities. The plan, once the troupe is up and running, is to put on two main stage productions per season. The pieces for the first show are already coming together. Jim McGroarty, a longtime Gilbert and Sullivan enthusiast who spent 10 years with a G&S company in Scotland and who has also directed for a number of companies in the Lower Mainland

including the Fraser Valley Gilbert and Sullivan Society in Surrey, is on board to direct. DeWitt-Krause herself will take on the musical direction. Auditions—for five male and five female principals and 25 chorus members—are scheduled for May 22 and 23 at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church (8871 School St.). Auditioners are asked to prepare and operatic aria (preferred) or a musical theatre piece, a monologue and a resume. ◗ For more information, call 604-7950521.

Life is a cabaret

Don’t miss this chance to catch local performers strut their stuff

Submitted photo

A photo from last year’s Confectioner’s Cabaret put on by Secondary Characters. This year’s event is May 14 at St. Thomas Church Hall.

hilliwack theatre company Secondary Characters holds a fundraiser Saturday that will be an opportunity to hear local performers showcase musical theatre numbers from shows ranging from Les Miserables, to Hairspray, to Disney’s new animated musical Tangled. Secondary Characters presents its second annual Confectioner’s Cabaret on May 14 at St. Thomas Church Hall, featuring local performers, including home-grown soprano Caroline Davies, Chilliwack’s representative to the provincial music finals. Davies recently played the role of Philia in UFV Theatre’s A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum. Along with fellow Chilliwack singer Steffi Munshaw, Davies will perform “Some things are meant to be” from Secondary Character’s 2010 production of Little Women: The Musical. Also on the program is local vocal octet Pieces of Eight, a group that includes many of the Charlie Brown cast members. Joining Secondary Characters for the evening is Vancouver singer Tamara Vishniakoff, a graduate of the Capilano University Musical Theatre program, who played Mary Mag-

dalene in TUTS production of Jesus Christ Superstar. Beyond great music, last summer’s Confectioner’s Cabaret served up decadent cheesecakes, brownies, pies and cookies with an emphasis on chocolate. This year, organizers are planning the same luscious variety of treats. A silent auction features a weekend at a lakeside cottage at Cultus, a Kumsheen River Rafting trip for two, two UFV Theatre seasons passes, and an autographed Bruins’ hockey stick. All proceeds will go to support costumes, props, set construction, theatre rental and other production costs for You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown. Based on the comic strip “Peanuts,” the musical brings to life Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy and the rest of the gang and runs July 28 to Aug. 7 at UFV theatre in Chilliwack. Chilliwack School of Performing Arts artistic director Andrew Smith will be directing You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown, with music director Nicola Davies conducting a five-piece live orchestra, and Shelley Wojcik choreographing the show. Tickets for You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown go on sale in June. See www.secondarycharacters.org for more information. Doors open for Confectioner’s Cabaret at 6:30 p.m. on May 14 at St. Thomas Church Hall, 46048 Gore Ave., downtown Chilliwack, with entertainment starting at 7 p.m. Purchase tickets ($20 for adults and $15 for 12-and-under) in advance by emailing nicoladavies@live.ca or calling 604-795-4780. There may be limited tickets available at the door.

Karver Jesse Morford

August 23, 1975 – November 8, 2010 Six months ago Karver was brutally murdered at his home in Ryder Lake. So far there has been no resolution, but someone out there knows something about this heinous crime that stole his life from him and us much too soon.

KUMP - Anne Irene (ne´e Challe) January 30,1941 - May 11, 2011 It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Anne Irene Kump. Anne passed away peacefully the morning of May 8, 2011 at the Fleetwood Care Centre with family by her side. She was born in Pine Falls, MB and moved to the Lower Mainland as a teenager. Anne worked in the restaurant industry until the early 1980s when she became a real estate agent and had several successful years. She touched the lives of many with her hard work, dedication and sincerity. Her strength of character and positive, fun-loving attitude were a true inspiration to us all. Predeceased by her husband John in 1983, sister Lucille, brother Henry, Anne is survived by her daughter, Kathy Aviani, three sons, Richard, John and Steven, siblings Theresa and Paul, as well as many grandchildren. Prayers will be held on Thursday May 12, 2011 at 6:30PM at the Columbia - Bowell Funeral Chapel at 219 - 6th St, New Westminster, BC. Funeral Service will be held May 13, 2011 at 12:00PM at St. Peter’s Church at 330 Royal Avenue, New Westminster with burial to follow at St. Peter’s Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations maybe made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Romance calls Sunday/ Monday! So do pleasure, arts, creativity, sports, speculation. But work arrives Tuesday to Thursday noon. Plunge in, you’ll get it done easily. Thursday noon to Saturday is both the most important and the luckiest part of this week. Opportunities, exciting meetings, new horizons, success with the public and in contract negotiations, even love can appear. But you need to be co-operative, diplomatic and eager, as others hold the winning cards. Handle irritations Thursday twilight, Friday morning, and mid-afternoon Saturday. Dreams can come true this week! Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Continue to strive ambitiously. Show higher-ups what you’re capable of, finish projects and duties without slacking. Your performance is being watched closely. Over the weeks ahead, if anything, your career heats up. Within less than a month, a great current of luck enters this area (status, prestige, ambitions) to stay for a year. Start ramping up – big things lie ahead for those who are eager and hard-working! But first, take a rest Sunday/Monday; prepare your foundations, give your family support and attention. Romance, pleasure call mid-week. Tackle chores Thursday onward. Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Your gentle, compassionate mood continues. It has begun to generate an important idea, project or situation (or relationship). This important thing will grow smaller yet more focused and concentrated over the next few weeks – then, like a sponge in water, swell to absorb more and more of your life and attention, from June to June 201112. Important thing = higher education, international travel or dealings, a major cultural ritual (wedding, etc.) a lawsuit or legal dealing, communication, media or publishing, religion, or finding a life philosophy... and, love. Romance, late week.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Money matters heat up – strive to meet schedules, deadlines. There are profit or good earnings here, but even more, present efforts, money accomplishments and new money directions can lead to a whole year of grand financial results, beginning next month! Often, the best actions are preceded by planning, preparation. Do these now, while your mood and optimism, wisdom and view, are high and accurate. This week is mostly successful, but avoid self-deception Wednesday morning, electricity Thursday eve, and “partnership finances” before 9 a.m. Friday. Sex, finances good Monday. Taurus April 20-May 20: Your energy and charisma climb higher, as Mars entered your sign last Wednesday, and Venus and Mercury enter Sunday. These are the three planets involved in 90 per cent of all romance, socializing and popularity – so expect yours to climb! (And in 21days Jupiter also enters Taurus, bringing big luck, the kind that sparks life-changing events.) Use this week to press forward with new or significant projects. Sunday/ Monday bring opportunities, but demand cooperation, diplomacy. Finances, intimacy, bonding and commitment draw you mid-week. Wisdom, gentle love Thursday onward. Gemini May 21-June 20: This is your last week of weariness, quietude and solitude, and of being ignored. Endure it with good humour. We all have our surges and our ebbing. Starting Saturday (end of this week) your energy will increase, and you’ll have a few weeks to take things “over the hump” – to succeed, impress and solve. The best time will be May 21 to June 3, so be prepared to act quickly and fortunately to make a major wish come true. Use this week to plan your late-May actions. Prepare, get paperwork or government or bank records in order. Be charitable. Fulfill obligations. Rest, eat sensibly.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: A huge wave of luck is just around the corner in investments, debt reduction, lifestyle change, health/diagnosis, research, intimacy and sexual bonding, pregnancy and similar lifechanging zones. These things have already impacted your life, pressing on you like a grey velvet hand, for the last three years in an upheaval way, for 18 months in a sober, “let me be secure” way, for the last three weeks in a hopeful way; and now to June 4 in a focused, event-triggering way. On June 4, a whole year of “big luck” starts here. Get ready to invest, change, commit! Fortune might lie at a distance. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Relationships, previously lively, grow serious, focused. Issues become clear. You could fall in love, note someone’s looks, or renew sparks with your mate. Opportunities arise in work, machinery, ﬁnances and social life. These are the precursors, or wee beginnings, of really major opportunities that arrive June 2011 to June 2012. Right now (in May) these are “pure chemistry” attractions/opportunities, but June onward they will tend to be connected to money, earnings, possessions. You could hop on the wagon to the mint! Propose, seize the day, Sunday/Monday and Friday! Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: The work is starting to come. The past few weeks have just been “ordinary work.” Now, the chores become clearer, more signiﬁcant. From June 2011 to June to 2012, your luck will grow in this area, but your duties will expand, too. (It’s not “get out of work” luck.) You’ll be lucky, also (June onward) in machinery, so this will be a good time to buy a car/computer, to learn tooling skills, etc. You will almost certainly earn more money (unless you’re in school, etc.). Watch your health, especially thighs and hips. Rest Sunday/ Monday. You shine mid-week. Money late week!

May 15 - 21, 2011 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The general emphasis lies on romance, pleasure, beauty, creativity, charming kids, speculation. Take a risk, express yourself! All these pleasurable things shrink but grow more “intense” over the next few weeks; then they will swell larger and larger for 12 months. Hopefully you’ve done all you can for your security by now: if not, tie up any loose ends (e.g., property deals, retirement plans, investments, family issues). The future year will not reward caution! Optimism, social joys early week, rest mid-week. Your energy and charisma shine late week – approach someone! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The security, domestic, real estate, family, restful, contemplative, natureoriented, soul and nutrition themes that have run through recent weeks continue: but they tend to produce events now through June 2012, lucky events. The best will come after early June. This can be huge luck: a home of your own, or additional real estate, a new family, a new child, the resolution of old problems, dissolution of old skeletons (yes, therapy will be productive). You can leave behind a life of constriction and worry, for a new, bright one! Saturday begins a month of pleasure! Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Travel, communications, paperwork, details, casual friends and siblings – these fill the days, even more so now. In the 13 months ahead, you might take two or more significant trips. You’ll do a lot of talking about your career or ambitions, but you won’t do much about them. (It’s as though you sense something deeper, bigger, “fuller” is coming by 2012/13...could be! Could be pregnancy if you’re the right age.) Sunday/Monday feature far travel, rituals, gentle love, wisdom. Ambition, higherups demand your attention midweek. Wish fulfillment, social joys Thursday-Saturday! timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
