Trail system would boost tourism

UFV faced with problem of who to accept thanks to capacity issue

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

he City of Chilliwack and local First Nations groups say they are enthusiastic about a massive proposed trail system along the Fraser River from Boston Bar in the west to Delta and Richmond in the east. The so-called Experience the Fraser trail system is just in its planning stages, thanks to an initial $2.5 million provincial grant last year. The trail would promote tourism next to the Fraser and connect municipal and regional parks along its banks throughout the Lower Mainland.

is a 100-year project that will start now and the lands will be identiﬁed.” Mayor Sharon Gaetz Chilliwack mayor Sharon Gaetz told the Times that Premier Gordon Campbell has been a key proponent of the project and envisions a $100-million, 100-year project. Officials have compared the trail to tourist trails along the Australian coast, as well as the Rhine and Mississippi rivers in Europe and the United States. “The premier has said this is a 100-year project that will start now and the lands will be identified,” See TRAILS, Page 20

Yarrow resident Rhian Franks stands by some of the potted plants she has placed around the community’s downtown. Within the last week, 20 of the plants have been stolen.

Plant project uprooted ‘Low-life’ thieves take some of the colour out of downtown Yarrow BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

hian Franks’s campaign to bring some colour to the downtown core of her little Yarrow community began last summer at the local video store. She was irked by a pair of planters filled with garbage instead of plants and couldn’t resist sprucing them up with a bit of soil and a couple of spare banana plants. “That’s what got me going,” she said, “and you know the more you do, the more you want to do.” After two summers, the mother of two (soon to be three) estimates she has now spent almost $2,000 on plants, soil, pots, rocks and other materials to get some much-needed greenery into the town’s threeblock downtown core. But Yarrow residents who’ve grown fond of the plants and care for many of them are now incensed after four of the pots were stolen a week ago and 16 more were taken late Sunday night.

“Those plants and their containers were visible symbols of affection that were appreciated by homeowners and visitors alike,” said Carol Bell of the Yarrow Volunteer Society in a letter. “We send a collective ‘shame on you’ to the lowlifes that would stoop this low.” Franks’s efforts began as her own pet project, but community members have jumped on board, watering and caring for the plants placed in pots outside their businesses. At the Yarrow Super Market, John Riou waters his plants twice a day and is disgusted at the theft of five pots from the front of his store. “No good,” he said. Hank the Barber, an icon in Yarrow after 66 years in business, is glad none of his plants were taken. “I would miss them,” he said. “Everybody in town looks after them,” said Franks. “Everybody waters their plants outside their stores.” While Franks has footed the bill for much of the project herself, locals have also come forward to donate plants and help water, weed and build benches for new flower beds. Until the first theft a week ago, a bit of minor local vandalism was the worst the plants had attracted in two years.

ockey players may be expected to “give 110 per cent” but universities? Not so much. The University of the Fraser Valley will operate at 108 per cent capacity this upcoming year, an untenable situation that is putting a strain on resources according to UFV provost and vice-president academic Eric Davis. Davis says the university has attracted more students than its government-set target, which is a tribute to the school’s quality but a problem for administrators and those trying to enroll for classes. The university has operated beyond capacity before, normally producing around 104 per cent of its quota, said Davis. But with increased demand for post-secondary education in the valley, this year is shaping up to be the busiest yet. “We’ve never been this full, or over-full, really,” said Davis, who attributed the surge in students to [the institution] achieving university status in 2008, a good reputation for teaching, and a demographic explosion in the Fraser Valley. And now, the economic slowdown is adding to those factors. “When the economy is poor and the job market is tight, people tend to go back to school,” said Davis. For those tasked with budgeting

Chilliwack resident Jim Graham was happy to be alive after a harrowing ordeal in Canada’s arctic. The 39-year-old diamond driller and a co-worker endured three days and nights in a makeshift lean-to after becoming lost in a blinding snowstorm that saw temperatures plummet to lower than -30 C. The pair were eventually rescued by the Inuit Rescue Society, also known as the Arctic Rangers.

P The Slow Food Cycle Tour will be wheeling through Chilliwack and Agassiz again this month.

File/TIMES

Slow down and eat BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

ity folk from around the Lower Mainland are once again gearing up to peddle around rural Agassiz and Chilliwack for two annual Slow Food Cycle Tours. They’ll be here Aug. 21 and 22 to get in touch with the country folk who make their food. But locals could also learn a thing or two from the tours’ “buy localeat local” theme if the imported produce lining their supermarket shelves is any indication. Despite living in one of the most fertile agricultural regions in Canada, most Chilliwack and Fraser Valley residents—like most Canadians—still rely on food grown in California, Mexico and even farther afield. The Slow Food Cycle Tours are designed to turn that around. Founded in 1989 to counteract fast food and fast life, Slow Food is an international organization dedicated to preserving local food traditions and a healthy interest in where food comes from. The self-guided, 25-kilometre cycle tours have become a popular way to connect urbanites and local

food producers. The third annual Agassiz tour last year attracted well over 850 foodie cyclists, while the first Chilliwack tour saw almost 700 would-be locavores visiting local farms, mills and eateries. Some highlights on this year’s tours are a Saturday evening Chehalis traditional salmon feast at the Charlie Long House featuring stories, dance and arts to end off the Agassiz tour. On the Chilliwack tour, cyclists can savour delicious canapés and light snacks along with live music at Greendale Pottery. Prepared by the chef de cuisine and owner of Merle’s Eatery, the menu will showcase the homegrown, all-natural Angus beef raised on the farm. Besides sampling the wares of the 15 featured farms and stops of interest on each tour, cyclists will take in information since one of the prerequisites for becoming a featured farm is providing a bit of education. At Canadian Hazelnuts in Agassiz, for example, visitors might learn that hazelnuts are pollinated in January while down the road at the Holberg Dairy Farm, Holger Schwichtenberg might point out the “cow comforts”

that keep his Holsteins happy. At two new stops on the Chilliwack tour, Six Masters Farm and Garden Back to Eden, cyclists will learn all about the value of pigeon poop as a fertilizer and the genetic importance of heirloom tomatoes respectively. Along with educating urbanites, the tours are a great way for locals to find out what’s in their own backyard, according to event co-ordinator Joanne MacKinnon. Until recently, for example, few knew that Yangbing Farms on McCallum Road does a brisk business in pea shoots. The fourth annual Agassiz Slow Food Cycle Tour hits the road Saturday, Aug. 21, rain or shine, and the second annual Chilliwack Slow Food Cycle Tour follows on Sunday, Aug. 22. Both tours run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with cyclists arriving and leaving at their own leisure. Cost for adults is $10 for one tour or $15 for both. Children 12 and under are free.

olice say the death Monday of a Chilliwack man on Harrison Lake is one of those senseless situations in which everybody acted appropriately and yet a life was still lost. The deceased, along with his brother and sister-in-law, had canoed to Echo Island to fish for the day. As they returned to shore, the canoe was flipped by large waves caused by other boats in the area.

“These people were doing everything they should have been doing. It doesn’t seem like anybody was doing anything wrong.” Const. Tracy Wolbeck The three canoeists were all wearing life-jackets and began swimming back to Echo Island. On their way, however, the 32-yearold man “became unresponsive,” according to police. The two other swimmers, a husband and wife also from Chilliwack, dragged the man to shore and began CPR. However, their attempts to revive the man were unsuccessful. They were found several hours later by Search and Rescue personnel who were dispatched after a caller told police that three family members were several hours overdue. Chilliwack RCMP spokeswoman Tracy Wolbeck said police are not speculating on the cause of death until an autopsy is conducted. Wolbeck said that there seem to be few lessons to be learned from the death. “These people were doing everything they should have been doing,” she said. “It doesn’t seem like anybody was doing anything wrong.”

Briefly

A public inquiry into the decline of the Fraser River sockeye salmon is coming to Chilliwack this fall. The Commission of Inquiry into the Decline of Sockeye Salmon in the Fraser River will give Chilliwack and area residents the chance to share information on the salmon’s decline. The commission stops in Chilliwack on Sept. 29. Members of the public who want to present at the forum must apply at www. cohencommission.ca. The commission is looking for input on five specific questions and any other topics relevant to the commission’s mandate to determine why salmon populations have declined and what can be done to improve the sustainability of the Fraser sockeye.

hey are old and young, male and female, with jobs, and unemployed. And every Tuesday they step in front of judges in Chilliwack Provincial Court as their cases proceed through the legal system. Over the past month, no fewer than 84 men and women have been scheduled to appear in court and, although they reflect a diverse cross-section of society, they all have one thing in common: all faced charges of impaired driving. The numbers are startling: In Chilliwack, drunk driving rose about eight per cent last year. And according to new figures from Statistics Canada, Chilliwack is actually doing better than the British Columbia average. Stats Canada says that, between 2008 and 2009, impaired driving offences in this province rose a startling 18 per cent. “We see it far too often,” said local Crown prosecutor Paul Blessin. “The advertising and the public awareness has been around now for a couple of decades, so people should be aware that drinking and driving is a real bad idea.” The numbers of people appearing in court would suggest that some still haven’t got the message. Sometimes it takes a court case and harsh words from an exasperated judge to set them straight, hopefully before they’ve killed somebody. Of those charged with drinking and driving, some will continue to reoffend, Blessing said. But, he added, “there’s a

large number we see once and never again. People learn their lesson.” As it happens, the drunk driving figures run contrary to the general trend in Statistics Canada’s annual release of police-reported crime numbers. Across the country, the total number of crimes fell three per cent in 2009 and the severity of crime, as measured by Stats Canada’s Crime Severity Index, dropped four per cent. The two measures have fallen 17 and 22 per cent, respectively, in the past decade. B.C. Solicitor-General Mike de Jong said “it is gratifying to see the overall crime rates in British Columbia dropping. “But the numbers around impaired driving are alarming,” he said. This fall new rules take effect that will hand harsher instant punishments to those who either refuse a breath sample, or who blow over .08. It will also introduce new penalties—automatic three-day driving suspensions and $500 fines—for those who blow between .05 and .08. The new laws are intended to decrease the prevalence of drunk driving. Blessin, for one, also hopes it results in charging fewer people in court with drunk driving offences. “They’ll get more than a 24-hour suspension, which is what they get now, so hopefully that will serve a deterrent cause and stop people from taking it further and ending up with criminal charges,” said Blessin. “It’s kind of the last wake-up call they [will] get and an expensive one.”

Going bigger in future YARROW, from page 1 “I kind of got used to that, and I was happy,” said Franks, who was disappointed by the recent theft. “There’s always one bad egg out of 30,000.

he Fraser River Sockeye Salmon fishery was certified as sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council last Friday, but conservation groups called the certification misleading to consumers. The certification review, conducted by an independent assessor, was “a very thorough scientific process,” said Kerry Koughlin, the MSC’s regional director for the Americas, in defence of the decision. The certification report lists 17 conditions the fishery must meet, including continued improvement of the sockeye runs and provisions to protect and rebuild both the Sakinaw and Cultus salmon populations—considered endangered by conservationists. If conditions are not met, Koughlin noted, the fishery will lose the certification. Also, the report mandates yearly audits to track compliance, which “set the stage for significant fishery improvement,” she said. The MSC certification can translate into significant economic ben-

some of the fish in the Fraser River Sockeye fishery are endangered. The fishery comprises genetic groupings or populations of fish that spawn in specific streams and lakes within the Fraser watershed. Aaron Hill, an ecologist with the Watershed Watch Salmon Society, said some of those populations are critically endangered, meaning

t’s sockeye season again in Chilliwack as fishery officials have opened the Fraser River to sportsfishers. The first commercial sockeye fishery in four years is also open in Johnstone Straight. The Fraser River Panel met on Wednesday to review early data on the return of the sockeye. It had been expected that between seven and 11 million salmon would return to the Fraser by the end of the fishing season and early reports are mostly positive. “Sockeye catches in commercial and test fisheries over the past few days indicate a variable but building migration of Fraser sockeye through the marine assessment areas,” the panel said in a press release. Around 1.6 million early summer-run sockeye are expected and estimates are expected soon for summer-run and late-run sockeye.

the lakes and streams where the endangered fish spawn could wind up with no sockeye salmon—even though there are still seemingly plenty of sockeye in the Fraser. “We’re hemorrhaging biological diversity among the Fraser River Sockeye . . . and we’re continuing to harvest these endangered stock,” Hill said. “There are no sockeye salmon stocks that are officially listed as endangered under the Species at Risk act in Canada,” said Koughlin. Both the Sakinaw Lake and Cultus Lake sockeye populations were designated as endangered in Canada in 2002 by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife, an independent group of scientists and wildlife experts. But neither is listed on the Canadian government’s species-at-risk registry. Hill explained that when there are fewer populations contributing to the fishery, the entire fishery becomes less stable and prone to wild fluctuations. “That’s what happened last year,” he said, referring to the historically low numbers of sockeye that returned to the Fraser to spawn in 2009.

She’s part of the solution BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

ennifer Bigham has made her voice heard. Now the outspoken mass-transit advocate, who calls the present bus system “crap,” may have a chance to put her big ideas into action. On Tuesday, Bigham presented the city’s transit advisory committee with her plan for an overhauled bus system.Those ideas are backed by a 500-person study and new bus routes that she says would streamline the current system. Following the meeting, Bigham was asked to meet with city staff and B.C. Transit officials to continue the discussion. Given her outspoken views, Bigham entered the room wary, but found the advisory committee accommodating and willing to discuss her proposals. “I was expecting a much more hostile environment, but it was good. Everyone was happy to have me be there,” Bigham told the Times on Wednesday. She told the committee that Chilliwack is ranked among the worst communities of its size for transit users.. “A lot of that is because of how we’re using our services. There’s a lot of redundancies in the service,” she said. To make the city’s bus system more user friendly, Bigham advocates moving the main bus interchange from the downtown core to the two malls just south of the highway, adding a pair of auxiliary exchanges, and having a couple smaller routes reach out from there. A “B-line” would connect the exchanges. The plan would require a few more buses, a cost city council balked at last month when they saw Bigham’s proposal. She told the Times that she doesn’t know

exactly what the city wants her to discuss with staff. But she is pleased that her message is being heard. “When I first started, I just wanted to let the city know how bad the system is,” she said. “It’s really, really easy to ignore when you don’t use the system.” But she’s also cautious about the extent to which she is asked to participate in future transit discussions and planning. Having put more than 200 hours of her own time into her study, Bigham is wary about donating more of her effort to city hall for free—especially as local officials await a $400,000 regional transit study. “I’m just kind of wondering what exactly they want from me.” Diane Janzen, who chairs the committee, said “we were very glad to have her present” and confirmed that Bigham will be meeting with city staff to discuss route planning, service levels and deficiencies, and potential costs. She said the committee will be working on the public transit issue and will be conducting a “comparative analysis” between Chilliwack and similar communities. “We will be looking at what we can do to upgrade the system,” she said. Meanwhile, the Fraser Valley Regional District is pleading with the provincial government to release the results of that regional transit study, which includes studies on each community involved. “That information we really need to do some good transit planning,” said Janzen, who said that it’s up to the provincial government to decide when it wants to release the results of the transit study. “There are a lot of people waiting to see what the results of that study have been.”

Bigham deserves all the credit

hen Jennifer Bigham started cobbling together her study on Chilliwack’s bus system, she just wanted to convince the city that local transit sucked for commuters like her. If there’s any justice in the world, she’ll get a job with either the city, or a cutting-edge PR firm. Four months after she began her campaign, the 26-year-old full-time waitress has been invited to consult with city staff over routing and service levels. Her success at making her voice heard has been nothing less than astounding. It also provides some key lessons to other would-be rabble-rousers. Lesson 1: you need to be dedicated enough to spend hundreds of your own hours working towards what may be a hopeless cause. Lesson 1a: the majority of those hours shouldn’t just be spent calling and swearing at local politicians, holding signs by the side of the road, or even writing letters to the editor (although, please, send us your mail). Your time would be better spent collecting data to show that others also think change is needed. The importance of this can be seen in the city’s welcoming response to Bigham’s survey and—although more acrimoniously—in the public support of Bill Van der Zalm’s anti-HST petition. Lesson 2: Facebook rules. The solid work Bigham has

TYLER OLSEN

Win,Lose orTy done—pro bono!—is not the only reason Chilliwack city hall is now consulting her on possible transit changes. Just as important has been her use of social media, and her public relations skills. Indeed, Bigham has shown the skills that Vancouver’s PR companies look for when they hire talent. (I would never advocate for such a job; I’m still trying to recover from a three-month stint with a PR agency last year. But that’s another column.) At the start of her study, Bigham contacted local media outlets, and got her voice on the radio and her face in local papers. Part of this had to do with the fact that, in conducting a study, she was actually doing something, rather than just bemoaning the fact that the transit system here sucks. But another aspect was her use of social media, including Facebook and Twitter. Recruiting participants in her study with the use of such tools may be statistically dubious, but in a digital age, it is another way to attract attention and build a community of people to push for more transit funding, or at least

changes. More importantly, she has paired social and traditional media strategies. When she released her study, or met with city hall, she sent out a press release to local media. Those press releases turned into phone calls and news stories, which she then linked to through her Facebook and Twitter account to be read by her readers and followers. That synergy—and I use that term extremely reluctantly—is very rare in cities smaller than Vancouver and has helped fuel her campaign. Lesson 3: Don’t join a committee. Whether Bigham ever gets an expanded local transit system remains to be seen. And if more people do start taking the bus, there will doubtlessly be many people lining up to take credit. The city already has a transportation advisory committee, which boasts representatives from the school district, ICBC and B.C. Transit. Its chair, Diane Janzen, told me the dedicated committee members will be “doing some thinking” this fall about what can be done to improve local bus routes. But if Chilliwack even rejigs its bus routes and, gasp, tries something different, I know who I’ll be crediting for the changes. And it won’t be a collection of professionals who, let’s face it, probably don’t use the bus for their day-to-day commuting. Rather, I’ll be crediting the waitress fed up with riding her bike.

he conviction of Carol Berner last week for impaired driving that caused the death of a fouryear-old girl in Delta should be a wake-up call to any drivers who still haven’t come to an understanding that any amount of drinking does not mix with driving. Berner’s case was notable, not only for the horrific loss of life and the unusual undercover investigation that led to charges, but also for how ordinary her decision to drive was that afternoon. Berner was on a familiar road, in her neighbourhood, when she slammed into the young girl. She hadn’t been pounding shooters at a bar, but drinking wine at home, admitting to undercover officers she’d had three “fair-sized” glasses. She failed a roadside screening but didn’t blow over the legal limit when she was tested at the police station. Experts guessed her blood-alcohol levels were between 0.063 and 0.117. In short, she was driving close to the legal line. But last week, a judge ruled Berner’s judgment was impaired that day and the unusual speed and recklessness with which she drove were clearly related to the wine she’d been drinking. It’s a judgment worth considering, especially in light of B.C.’s new drunkdriving laws which come into effect this fall, including much tougher penalties for lower blood-alcohol levels. Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) has long argued for tougher penalties at the levels where serious fines and driving bans will now kick in, because research has shown it’s a level where driver reactions start to be significantly impacted. The message is: If you’ve been drinking, you don’t have to be falling-down drunk to be unfit to drive a car—or for there to be devastating consequences.

Look of new arts centre leaves him cold Editor: Re: Chilliwack Arts Centre. Let me start my letter by saying that I fully support the building of an art centre in Chilliwack. As a person who has had some minor input into the leisure activities and leisure facilities of Chilliwack, I think it is long overdue that Chilliwack should have an arts centre to accommodate the various arts groups in our community. I have, however, two points that I would like to make. First, I would like to question the design of the building. I have been driving by the new arts centre for months on my way to the leisure centre. In watching the new facility being built, I have been wondering who from the arts community could possibly have had anything to do with its design. I thought that with time at least the painting of the buildings would make them more aesthetically pleasing to the eye, but to no avail. The facility looks like a large collection of shoe boxes. The leisure centre and the Prospera Centre are more pleasing to the eye than the new arts centre. Now, I know that artistic expression and the appreciation of the same is in the eye of the beholder. However, if this new building represents the artistic expression of the arts community of Chilliwack, it leaves me cold. My artistic tastes on the other hand could be in my mouth. I recently had the good fortune to visit Vienna, Austria, the cultural and artistic hub of Europe. My, what beautiful buildings there were to be seen in that city. Chilliwack, of course, is not Vienna nor is it Vancouver. However, artistic expression has no bounds. That brings me to the second point I would like to make. As I have not been inside the new building I cannot vouch for its suitability as a community arts centre. A community arts centre suggests that the various community groups involved in the arts have a place to practice, rehearse and present their

Some arts groups seemed to have been left out. The other bone of conviction is the cost of rental of the facilities. Are we getting a community arts centre or are we getting an Orpheum Theatre? What did we agree to pay for? The new building is impressively huge and it reminds one of a large species of animals that roams the African Sahara. I just hope that it does not turn out to be one of the albino variety. Hans Manthei Chilliwack

Cop ruined his perfect record Editor: Law-abiding citizens beware. It appears that the RCMP in Chilliwack is a little behind in the ticket quota so you may be next. My father rarely drives anymore, however he was driving home the other night as my mother had a glass of wine with dinner, when lo and behold they were pulled over by the RCMP, and to my poor father’s amazement, he was issued a ticket for having a plastic cover on the licence plate. Yes, yes, I know that S3.03 of the Motor Vehicle Act states, “A number plate must be kept entirely unobstructed and free from dirt or foreign material, so that the numbers and letters on it may be plainly seen and read at all times and so that the numbers and letters may be

accurately photographed using a speed monitoring device prescribed under section 83.1 of the Act” and that ignorance of the law is not a defence. On investigation of this section, this was revised for drivers trying to evade photoradar, however my parents have paid for their use of the Golden Ears Bridge as apparently this cover does not obstruct their licence plate enough for those cameras—just the police. My father had 62 years of licensed driving with no tickets (do the math to figure out how old he is —but he’s been married for 51 years), to have it ruined with an overzealous ticket writer, when perhaps a warning could have been sufficient, especially when his licence had been run. I tried to get him to dispute the ticket, but I think just the thought of having to go to court because he had broken a law was too much (I even offered to pay the difference if he waited to pay), but he paid it. Now the record he was most proud of is gone. So, law-abiding citizens, especially you pensioners, you’ve been warned! Heather Holbrook Chilliwack

Horses don’t belong on trail Editor: I’m scared when passing in between two horses on Rotary Trail with my bike or walking. You think with as many trails as we have here in Chilliwack that you “horse and owners” could please not walk your horse on the

Rotary Trail in the summer when there are up to 100 people walking in a day. Please “horse and owners” walk your horses in a field, not a busy walking path out of respect for people. When meeting “horse and owners” on a path if a horse decides to move over on you, you could be in real trouble, these are very heavy animals. Also, horses just do their “thing” on the trail, on the road or on the sidewalk, wherever they are going and there is no law. Could we avert all these issues by restricting horses from going on public trails? Also, I live near a Canada Lands construction site. Anyone living near (next to Peach Road in Sardis) I’m sure you have noticed the unbelievable dust coming out of the construction site this past week. Call the city bylaw officer and let them know that, out of respect for the residents near that site, the constructing company should be using a watering truck to keep the dust down. If you don’t speak up you will be stuck with this nuisance until the construction is all done. We have rights as taxpayers. If you see something that isn’t right we are obligated to speak up since the city doesn’t take action on anything unless caring residents complain. Angele Pomerleau Chilliwack

Better ways to control geese Editor: I am writing on behalf of the Canada Goose Conservation Society (www.canadagoose.org.uk) to express our disappointment that the authorities at Cultus Lake in Chilliwack might be considering a cull of Canada geese there. There are humane alternative methods of population control if numbers really are a problem, such as: ◗ Restricting the feeding of geese to certain areas which can then be kept clean; ◗ Habitat management (make access to water less easy or less visible by plant-

ing bankside vegetation); ◗ Limited egg-control (whereby eggs can be prevented from hatching—but one should always be left unharmed, for humane reasons and also because geese will lay another batch if no eggs hatch out). People enjoy seeing Canada geese and scientific studies show that the numbers do balance out in time. Culling is both inhumane and inefficient—new birds will always fly in to fill the gaps as long as there is food available. Please stick to humane options and don’t kill these fine birds, which as your paper rightly points out, are iconic to your country and so popular worldwide, including here in the UK.

What were they thinking? Editor: Last week I spent a wonderful few days at Lindell Beach having not been there in summer for well over 10 years. Cultus Lake and its surrounding environment is truly a beautiful part of B.C. I did, however, have to pick my jaw up off the ground when I ventured to the water’s edge and saw in the distance a clear cut scar on the horizon (in the direction of Promontory) with a housing development sprouting out of it. I simply could not believe that you have planning laws that allow a development that is not only unsympathetic to the natural environment, but has so blatantly managed to inflict visual vandalism on the beauty of the vista surrounding Cultus Lake. What on earth were the planning authorities thinking? Vlad Aleksandric Canberra, Australia

Faith Today BY SHAWN VANDOP Promontory Community Church

id you hear about the author Anne Rice? She’s the best-selling author of Interview with a Vampire whose books collectively have sold nearly 100 million copies. She’s also a Christian who declared recently that she’s “quitting Christianity.” Rice wrote, “Today I quit being a Christian . . . It’s simply impossible for me to belong to this quarrelsome, hostile, disputatious and deservedly infamous group. For 10 years, I’ve tried. I’ve failed. I’m an outsider. My conscience will allow nothing else.” Rice goes on and explains that, although she is quitting Christianity, she is still committed to Christ. As I thought about her reasons for quitting I can understand

Quitting Christianity where she is coming from. As a Christian I often face the same temptation. It’s not new. Every generation has been filled with people who have quit Christianity. Look through history and you will discover a faith that has been stained with lies, hypocrisy, failure and legalism. Christianity is guilty of being intolerant, abrasive and inconsistent, so it’s easy to understand why people have for centuries turned their backs on this faith. But maybe the things we turn our backs on are things we never really faced. Our culture does it all the time.

It has mastered the art of “quitting.” We quit our jobs, our marriages, our dreams. We give up on teams, relationships and goals. We expect people to act a certain way and when they don’t we give up on them. Quitting gives us a forum to blame, judge and throw stones. It is always easier to quit than to engage. Quitting is always easier than persevering. As much as I can appreciate Anne Rice’s feelings and frustrations I could never quit Christianity for the simple truth that God has never given up on me. Even though I have hurt people and am often a hypocrite God still pursues

me. He sees my abrasiveness, intolerance and inconsistencies and still extends me grace. These are exactly the reasons I need what Christianity has to offer. When I say I am a Christian I am not saying I am perfect, quite the opposite in fact. You see, the Christian faith is about a loving God who looked at a bunch of “quarrelsome, hostile, disputatious” people and said, “I’ll never give up on you.” It is God’s constant gift of grace set before us and so when a person quits Christianity he or she is saying, “I don’t want to be like Christ.” You cannot have one without the other for to be a Christian

is to learn to live the kind of life that Jesus modeled. Jesus himself said, “I’ll never leave you or forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5). God could have quit and given up on us a long time ago but he didn’t. He instead chose to sacrificially offer love, acceptance and forgiveness to a world full of ‘quitters’. Those who are willing to take a deep truthful look at Christianity will discover that the Christian faith is all about a perfect God who demonstrated a perfect love to a bunch of imperfect people. This means that the imperfections of those who follow Christianity don’t have to be your excuse to quit and miss out on personally knowing the founder of Christianity.

Roney narrowly edged out in bull riding event BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

erritt’s Mike Gill road a score of 85 to first place in the bull riding competition and $978.39 at the British Columbia Rodeo Association’s Chilliwack Rodeo last weekend. Gill barely edged out Chilliwack favourite Jeff Roney, whose score of 84 was good enough for second place and $777.73. Lee Munsey of Kelowna rounded out the topthree. In the saddle bronc event, Quesnel’s Steve Hohmann’s score of 77 beat out 20 other riders for the first-place winnings. Chilliwack’s Kaila Mussell didn’t ride the short distance home empty handed, though. Mussell, who also happens to be the only female profes-

sional saddle bronc rider in North America, scored 68 to finish in fifth place and earn $139.23. Justin King of Sagle, Idaho, won the bareback event, with Hohmann increasing his haul by taking both second and fifth place. (Each saddle bronc and bareback rider rode twice and could claim multiple prizes. King was also fourth in the bareback.) Laura James’s time of 16.049 seconds was enough to narrowly edge out Judy Hyde in the ladies barrel racing and claim $1,046.61. The junior barrel racing was just as close, with Fallon Fosberry of Merritt claiming first prize with a time of 16.397 seconds Willee Twan of Alkali Lake, B.C. won the tie-down roping with a blazing time of 9.2 See RODEO, Page 17

Vipers show their mettle at westerns BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

h i l l i w a c k’s V i p e r s peewee A fastpitch team capped a glorious season by bringing home a collection of bronze from the Western Canadian Championships in Calgary last weekend. Facing the best peewee fastpitch players this side of Flin Flon, the Vipers went undefeated in the round robin but ran out of gas in the knockout stages. Their efforts were rewarded, however, with a bronze medal to cap a 41-3 season. Vipers coach Jeff Donegan said his team was happy to bring back the bronze. “Our goal all year was to get to westerns and see if we could medal,” he said. “If you finish first or second in the round robin, you are guaranteed a bronze medal at least, so we decided to really go hard.” The Vipers rolled through their first six games, beating the Calahoo Chiefs in their opener 7-5, trouncing the Calgarian hosts 14-1, and rolling from there. By the time they were done, the Chilliwack boys— who have played together for five years and were one

of only two non-all-star teams at the tournament— had guaranteed themselves their medal. Donegan said the six games tired out the players, however, who showed their fatigue against Prince Albert in their first playoff game. They dropped that contest 90, to face a rematch against a Saskatchewan squad they had already beaten. Despite going 3-0 up early in the game, the Vipers could only muster one more run and ended up falling 6-4. “The boys gave everything they had, but the bats were just not in timing with the baserunners and we could not cash runs in,” said Donegan. “There were four ver y good teams that all could have won a medal. While we felt we were number one or two in that catagory, the difference between the teams was so close that on any given day any team could win.” With this season complete, several Vipers will move on to Team BC tryouts later this summer. And Donegan said the team is already looking forward to next year and eagerly anticipating taking a crack at the national midget championships in three years.

Question: I apply sunblock but still get burnt? Is there something I can do differently to avoid this from happening? Laura, Abbotsford Answer: There are many important factors in choosing a sunblock. We have to remember to generously re-apply every 2 – 3hours. Along with that we need to purchase a‘broad spectrum’product that has a minimum SPF 30, which also protects UVA and UVB rays (which can cause pigmentation and skin cancers). Please be sure to also check the expiration dates on the products as they average a 2 year shelf life. Dr. Marianna Snyman Dr. Marianna Snyman

seconds, Mike Gill of Merritt wrestled a steer to the ground in just five seconds to win that event, and Charlie Soffel of Vanderhoof and Cody Falconer of Merritt shared first-place winnings in breakaway roping. Lane Cork of Quesnel won the junior steer riding event with a score of 71. Finally, Ryan MacNaughton and Ty Lytton of Quesnel and 100 Mile House, respectively, won the team roping event. Team roping, in which one rider attempts to lasso a calf’s horns and another goes for a hind leg, doesn’t normally get as much attention as the wild-animal riding contests. But Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price’s attempt to snare a couple of calves shone a light on the sport.

Price learned the ropes, so to speak, on Friday and Saturday, before giving the event a go for real on Sunday. He should stick to hockey; he recorded two no-time scores as he was unable to snare the calf’s hind leg with his lasso. But despite his lack of team-roping talent, Price was a hit with locals, according to organizer Helen Larson. “The kids loved it; he posed for lots of pictures . . . and answered all the kids’ questions,” said Larson, who had Price sign her own Canadiens jersey, bought specially for the rodeo. For those wondering, team roping was the only event the NHL would let Price participate in.

News UFV, from page 1 precious university resources, the increase in students means choices will need to be made. “This year we’ve reached a breaking point,” said Davis. “We can only take in more students beyond what we’re funded for before it really starts to hurt, and it hurts students because it means they’ll have to wait longer in lineups to get registered, to get advising appointments, et cetera.” UFV’s sparkling new Chilliwack campus won’t itself solve the university’s student crunch when it opens next fall. UFV provost and vice-president academic Eric Davis said the new campus “won’t have an immediate impact on our ability to serve more students.” Indeed, it could attract even more wouldbe students. “It’s a very attractive campus and I think it will be a draw certainly in Chilliwack and east but also throughout the Fraser Valley,” he said. If however, the university is able to attract more resources to cope with its increased size, the new campus’s 85 acres will come in handy. “If we get the resources to build buildings and put in resources, then we’ve got the space there to develop a much larger university,” he said. “So down the road it could certainly have a big impact.” TRAIL, from page 1

ENTER TO WIN

said Gaetz, who sits on the Experience the Fraser committee. “At this point we’re laying the groundwork for a trail that would go all the way from Boston-Bar/Hope right down to the Georgia basin.” The idea is for the trail system to connect parks, trails and campsites along the Fraser River, with local municipalities, historic attractions and First Nations communities. The 300-kilometre trail would also connect with the Trans-Canada and Sea to Sky trails. Initial planning is being spearheaded by the Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley regional districts and it’s hoped that the trails would drive tourism in the region and provide recreational opportunities for locals. There is not yet any sort of operational budget for the proposed system, meaning any new trails would have to be funded and maintained, at least initially, by local municipalities and regional districts. That said, Gaetz said the city is on board and will be looking at ways to connect the trail with the city’s Island 22 park. “We’re excited about doing it and excited about what it would look like. . . . I think it will be an amazing tourist attraction.” With erosion a constant concern at Island 22, the city faces a challenge to find a way to link the park with any trail system. But

New campus In the meantime and over the next year, Davis and other officials will have to decide how the university will allocate its ever-more precious space next fall. “Until we can get more funding that matches the population growth in the valley, we’re stuck in a situation where we cannot meet all demand,” he said. And for an institution that has long prided itself on its accessibility to the community— a n d f o r Fr a s e r Va l l e y c o m m u n i t i e s themselves, where post-secondar y attendance has traditionally lagged—those choices will be difficult. “We’re faced with the decision: if we can’t accept everybody, who do we accept?” In light of its success at attracting students, Davis would like the province to come rescue the university. “We would certainly like more funding and we think that our share of the resources in post-secondary institution doesn’t match our record, whereas some institutions don’t even come close to achieving their student quotas or targets for which they’re funded.” But with the province cash strapped and continually decreasing its stake in universities and colleges, UFV will look to local business and international students to boost its revenue and help make up the shortfall.

City on board once in place, Gaetz hopes a trail system would also reintroduce locals to the Fraser River and its historic and economic ties to Chilliwack. “There’s a bit of reconnecting that I think is really important for our community and the people who use the river on a daily basis will tell you that it is undervalued and perhaps even underused by the people in our community, other than fishers . . .we need that natural connection.” Already, local recreational groups have expressed interest in the project, and Gaetz said the city will be consulting with them as it tries to decide how Chilliwack will participate. Gaetz said First Nations groups have also showed enthusiasm for the project, something she said is “absolutely vital.” And with foreigners growing increasingly interested in North American aboriginal cultures, she said a trail that featured stops and lodging along the river’s various bands would be particularly attractive to tourists. “As we’re developing a tourism strategy, this will be very important,” she said. “The spirit is about partnerships and trying to help out all our neighbours along the trail to be successful.”

Local Stars will shine bright at PNE BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

Emily Janzen will perform “The Girl in 14G” for her Red Robinson Talent Show debut later this month.

Cornelia Naylor/TIMES

hilliwack’s got talent— young talent—and this month four local youngsters will show it off on the main stage during the Fair at the PNE for the Red Robinson Talent Showdown. The province wide contest, formerly known as Star Discovery, counts the likes of crooner Michael Buble among its alumni, and two singers and two dancers from Chilliwack qualified as semifinalists with a chance to win both prestige and cash. Singers Anna Canaday, 18, and Emily Janzen, 14, beat out 179 other online entries for a chance to take the spotlight during the Aug. 22 youth semifinals featuring performers aged 13 to 18. The two performers, who’ve crossed paths often in Chilliwack’s lively musical theatre scene, are a study in contrasts. To Janzen, life is a musical

and all the world’s a stage. Whether she’s chirping Baroque arias in Italian or belting out show tunes, the 14 year old is as likely to break into song off stage as on. For her Red Robinson debut, she’ll be singing the same piece she used for her audition video—“The Girl in 14G”—a cheeky song about a recluse stuck in an apartment between a noisy opera singer and an equally noisy scat singer. “It’s one of my absolute favourite songs to perform,” said Janzen. “I really like that it shows both sides of my voice, like my classical side and my musical theatre, belting side.” Her performance goes over like a short piece of one-woman musical theatre, and encapsulates her parallel love for both classical and musical theatre genres— albeit, in a tongue-in-cheek way.

Exciting lineup for new arts centre

he Chilliwack Arts and Cultural Centre Society has unveiled the lineup for its first season. The first act to hit the $22-million cultural centre’s brand new 40-foot wide main stage will be The Trollsons Sept. 19. This Pangaea Arts production about Grandpa Trollson’s 200th birthday party features the captivating storytelling of Han Christian Andersen and should delight the whole family. It’s also a good example of the diversity of acts lined up for the cultural centre’s inaugural season. Eighteen performances between Sept. 19, 2010 and May 1, 2011 run the gamut from the charming stories of Anderson to mind-bending magicians and a bus-andtruck Broadway show. Most of the performances fall into one of three categories: theatre series, dance series, and Star 98.3’s childrens series, but five special presentations have also been thrown in throughout the season. After The Trollsons, grand opening week at the centre continues with the first presentation in the theatre series—Ten Lost Years, which brings to life the stories of an entire generation of Canadians who survived the Great Depression. Poignant, moving and humorous, the production is based on author Barry Broadfoot’s masterpiece of the same name. The following evening, “fringe god” TJ Dawe comes to Chilliwack in Lucky 9. In a one-man show that’s been described as “insanely funny,” Dawe addresses the audience in a mile-a-minute conversational style that will make’em laugh till they cry and cry till they laugh. Next, Chilliwack audiences will feel the rhythm of the African heritage dance and drum ensemble Kokoma, a visually stunning, interactive performance by sons

Showtime at the Arts Centre The Trollsons 10 Lost Years Lucky 9 Kokoma Red Carpet Affair Twilight Tango Cinderella Cheesecake Burlesque A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline Forever Plaid Billy Bishop Goes to War Action Consequences The Adventures of Pinocchio I am Woman Hear Me Laff! Outerbridge-Time Capsule Tour Sold Doubt The Music Man and daughters of Africa. Opening week culminates with the Red Carpet Affair gala opening on Sept. 25 when organizers roll out the red carpet for a glittering champagne reception followed by a show featuring a cast of Broadway veterans. In October, the dance series continues with Ballet Victoria’s dramatic and sensual Twilight Tango featuring classically trained, professional dancers who draw the audience into the fictional world of vampires, creating a feast for the senses. Vancouver Opera’s star performers are next to take the main theatre stage in Cinderella, an English language performance that brings the classic rags-toriches tale to life—opera style—with breathtaking costumes and wonderful twists. In November, the Cheesecake Burlesque Revue puts on a perfect girls night out with sweet sexy brilliance set to pumpin’ electro and lavish rock n’ roll music. Rounding out the 2010 part of the cultural centre’s season, the Arts Club The-

atre Company presents A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline, a musical that invites audience members to relive the passion and glamour of country music’s greatest songstress. Featuring 21 unforgettable songs, t h e p i e c e h a s re c e i v e d rave reviews across the continent. The cultural centre kicks off the 2011 half of its lineup in January with Forever Plaid. Acclaimed worldwide, this musical comedy takes audiences back to the time of the “guy groups” of the 1950’s and follows the fate of four irresistible harmony singers who finally realize their dream. Musical theatre continues in February with Billy Bishop Goes to War, a moving tribute to one of Canada’s greatest heroes. Recently awarded two Je s s i e R i c h a rd s o n T h e atre Awards, Billy Bishop is setting the standard for a sensational evening of entertainment. The dance series also continues in February with Action Consequences by Ballet Kelowna, showcasing

the company’s graceful and powerful dancers as they perform a mix of classical and contemporary ballet. The Adventures of Pinocchio by Story Theatre Company hits the main stage in March and brings to life everyone’s favourite wooden boy along with other beloved characters like the Blue Fairy, chirruping Cricket, sly Fox, and clever Cat. On International Women’s Day, March 8, the centre hosts I Am Woman! Hear Me Laff!, an evening of gynocentric humour showcasing the talents of top female standup comedians, who promise to have the audience rolling in the aisles. Ted and Marion Outerbridge’s Time Capsule Tour is next up, dazzling Chilliwack audiences with mind-bending illusions that seem to cut time in half or eliminate it all together. Rounding out the dance series is Sold Doubt, who are set to rock the main stage with contemporary dance, employing instrumental renditions of iconic rock group No Doubt’s greatest hits. The March lineup ends with The Music Man featuring a large cast of beloved, quirky characters and a oneof-a-kind, nostalgic score of barbershop quartets, sentimental ballads and rousing marches, including “Seventy-Six Trombones.” The Chilliwack Arts and Cultural Centre’s inaugural season winds up as it begins—with a fairytale. In May, DuffleBag Theatre presents Rumpelstiltskin, a fun-filled, interactive retelling of the classic tale. Single tickets are now on sale for all shows through the new Centre Box Office. Series subscriptions are also available and offer discounts of up to 35 percent. Members will receive an additional $1 off each ticket. ◗ For more information, phone 604-391-SHOW (7469), or visit www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca.

Showtime

Local dancers also spending time on PNE stage “I don’t want to give up one or the other,” she said. “I like having variety.” Janzen started in musical theatre with the Chilliwack School of Performing Arts when she was 10. People impressed with her natural vocal talent encouraged her to start voice lessons, and she’s been studying classical singing since she was 12. Only two years later, she already has an impressive resume of awards and accomplishments, among them being the youngest singer with the Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra Chorus and a cappella ensemble with which she will soon be performing at the new cultural centre. Although Janzen’s love of classical voice and musical theatre are tied for now, her plans for the future lean towards studying opera when she graduates. For recent G.W. Graham graduate Canaday, on the other hand, classical voice has mostly been a means to an end. She has studied voice since she was 13, and although she maintains it’s what separates good singers from bad singers, it’s never really been her

cup of tea. For her audition, Canaday submitted an intimate rendition of Sarah Bareilles’s “Gravity,” and she says her voice is best suited for that kind of ballad. Normally she’d describe her sound as “very Colbie Caillat,” and—like that singer/songwriter—she also writes her own music to guitar. On the PNE stage, however, Canaday will step out of her comfort zone a little and perform the retro-soul number “Mercy” by Welsh singer Duffy. “It’s a difficult song for me,” said Canaday. “It’s not something I’m used to, but I figure a challenge brings out the best in us, so why not.” One indication Canaday doesn’t shy away from a challenge is her career plans. In the fall she start a diploma in music at Capilano University and she plans to go on to a degree in music therapy—a discipline geared toward using music to help people with disabilities, mental illness or addiction. Despite their divergent musical tastes and future plans, Janzen and Canaday have a couple of key things in common: both singers know how to infuse their performances with theatrical flair (a skill no doubt honed dur-

Cornelia Naylor/TIMES

Anna Canaday will perform “Mercy” by Welsh singer Duffy when she hits the PNE stage Aug. 22. ing years of involvement in Chilliwack’s musical theatre community) and both adore the stage. “Do I like to perform?” asked Canaday with a laugh. “A stage is like my second home.” In her last year of eligibility for the Red Robinson Talent Showdown, Canaday figured she has nothing to lose and is giving it her best shot. “Anything could happen with it,” she said. “I mean, Michael Buble got started

Chilliwack’s fastest growing studio - come and be a part of it!

from the PNE, so I said, ‘Hey, if Michael Buble can get started from the PNE, why couldn’t I?’” But singing isn’t the only Chilliwack talent that will be showcased on the PNE stage. In the kids semifinal Aug. 23, two local dancers will also put their best feet forward after being picked out of 62 entries. Joshua Phillips, a 12-yearold graduate of Strathcona elementary who’s headed to Chilliwack middle next year, will tap his way through “Pennies From Heaven,” a solo number he has performed before with Project Dance. Kyera Fedoruk, another local 12-year-old dancer, will hit the stage with a jazz piece set to “Don’t Stop Believing.” Fedoruk dances with Images in town and is headed to G.W. Graham middle school next year after graduating from F.G. Leary elementary in June. ◗ The PNE’s 2010 Red Robinson Talent Showdown semifinal performances start at 3:30 p.m. on Aug. 22 for the youth division and on Aug. 23 for the kids division.

604-795-4417 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: Your month of joy continues! Problems might not be solved, but they ebb. You might need to make a choice regarding a relationship, a relocation, or an opportunity Monday, Friday/Saturday. Hint: doing what you want, opting for expansion or under standing, for cheerfulness, for legal, publishing, international or educational “growth” is luckier than seeking to further your ambitions through a relationship. But start no new projects before Sept. 12. (Others might be skeptical toward you for the next two years if you show “naked ambition.” You might marry into another generation.)

Cancer June 21-July 22: Start nothing new before Sept. 12. Instead, apply yourself to ongoing projects, and protect these from supply disruptions, secondguessing, delays and mistakes. Your home life is very active now through early September – if not on the outside, then emotionally. A real estate deal could involve your career or prestige ambitions – but don’t start a new one: keep with what’s begun. A “long lost” acquaintance might get in touch – good, not spectacular. Sunday/Monday are romantic. Work succeeds Tuesday/Wednesday. Relationships turn volatile Thursday/Friday: a structural change is “destined.”

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Before Sept. 12, start no new projects, especially in legal, governmental, administrative, manufacturing, tax, charitable, spiritual, educational, far travel, publishing or similar areas. Your romantic, social and personal magnetism is at a great peak – take advantage, don’t stay home! However, since nothing new will work, focus (until Sept. 12) on people you’ve already met. If you’re after love, stand before old ﬂames, or present company. This week, your own sober outlook might subtly clash with kids, home, realty objectives – a partnership needs hope, assurance: give it!

Taurus April 20-May 20: Start no new projects before Sept. 12. Slowdowns, indecision, secondguessing, missed appointments and supply disruptions could “populate” the weeks ahead. An old ﬂame might return soon – if after Aug. 21, it could lead to strong romance! If that happens, you will need to dec ide whether this relationship has a long-term future. Many half-hidden, slowly evolving forces and “subconscious wrestling matches” exist here. But it could be exceptional! Early week demands a choice between chores/duties. Financial luck high Tuesday/ Wednesday. Love ﬁghts work, Thursday onward.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Defer new starts, projects, relationships until Sept. 12. Those begun now will meet indecision, delay and, ultimately, lack of heart – especially in monetary regions. Focus on what’s already started – and money (etc.) from the past. August is a fine time to revisit old haunts, friends – pleasure is certain, flirtation and a bit of heartquickening quite possible, too! A trip might interfere with your work demands: if so, you choose. Sunday/ Monday emphasize home, kids and a casual vs. profound choice (in relationships,law,intellect,travel). Romance, creative flows, Tuesday/Wednesday!

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Start nothing new before Sept. 12, especially in social, investment, ﬁnancial and organizational zones. These areas might yield fruits from the past – be aware, ready to pluck them. (E.g., someone from an old social circle might call; or a past investment you couldn’t capture returns. Jump in, if you know it’s good.) A secret love could attract you August or early September. You might be wiser to wait until Sept. 9 onward, when your magnetism will soar! Vexations in communications/travel signal the need for a whole new system/vehicle, etc. – after Sept. 12.

Gemini May 21-June 20: Start nothing new, relationships nor projects, before Sept. 12. Delays, indecision, second-guessing and “no shows” increase. A former domestic matter, a prodigal child, a real estate idea/urge/project might return. This could be good, but be cautious: over the few months ahead, someone might oppose you in these areas. (This could take the form of unpredictable action by a cooperator or partner.) You’ve entered romantic territory. Early week, you face a choice between romance and friendship, or between being creative or social. Late week, DO NOT gamble with ﬁnances or sex!

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Finish, advance ongoing projects. Refrain from starting anything new. A slowdown starts next week, lasting to Sept. 12. Sunday/ Monday could solidify a source of income,and/or bring a durable set of ideas, a practical “life philosophy” that helps you go forward steadily. Instability also lurks, if you allow pleasure or romantic notions to steer you away from duties or practical goals. Contemplate the different paths of earnings versus investments. You might make a choice between these now to mid2011. Rest, contemplate to Tuesday. Money’s good Friday/Saturday. A good week!

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Defer new starts until Sept. 12 onward – especially in relationships, career, VIP relations, litigation, negotiation, relocation and dealings with the public. (E.g., don’t start a public relations campaign, lawsuit, love affair, etc.) You might proﬁt from reprising the past in these – e.g., contacting a former employer in your career search. Your social life hums along, and love could be real, “light” and non-suffocating. (Love’s laughter can be far healthier than love’s extremities.) You impress others Tuesday/Wednesday! All week, revise hopes to meet money realities.

Ads continued on next page

August 15 - 21 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Don’t launch new projects or relationships before Sept. 12. Reprise past ventures, or continue with ongoing ones – protect the latter from misunderstandings, delays, missed appointments, etc. An old flame (the love was gentle, proper) might reappear in the weeks ahead. If you’re unattached, “re-engaging” probably couldn’t hurt! (He/she is ready to “go forth” sexually.) All week, your status, prestige, relations with higherups come under review. (It could be your review!) Deep changes are in store. Be aware that finance (and sex) has a “fooling glitter” right now. Caution. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Don’t start new projects or relationships before Sept. 12. Especially avoid new financial,mutual or partnership ventures.Deep desires, urges and insights well up from the past – a past sexual or financial interest might return also. Nothing wrong with these, but examine the financial before proceeding. Your legal, intellectual, love, cultural, educational and far-travel spheres grow increasingly active – and beneficial. This week presents a rare chance to seal a deal (NOT a new one!) in any of these areas – including love! Wishes can come true midweek – be diplomatic, reasonable. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: An “ex” might reappear in the next several weeks – or a relocation opportunity, a deal that was never quite cemented, an opportunity to place yourself in front of the public; if you’re unlucky, even a lawsuit. You’re working hard, so have less time for these “opportunities” – therefore, jump fast, carpe diem. Your financial and sexual urges are active and rising, but neither fits easily with your “wisest future,” so do some deep pondering – remember, you’re exiting a decade of hard work, entering one of enjoyment. Be ambitious mid-week. Decide between quick money, and big. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
