Sex crime sentence upheld

Protect our land, say Sto:lo

NEB hears from native groups against pipeline

If opportunity ever presented itself, appellant says he would have sex with kids

or Sto:lo people with links to their ancient traditions, the landscapes that surround them are not just important as sources of food, water and shelter. The trees, the mountains and the rivers are their ancestors. That was part of Albert “Sonny” McHalsie’s message to the National Energy Board (NEB) during the first day of seven days of aboriginal oral traditional evidence into the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project. McHalsie is cultural adviser and historian at the Sto:lo Research and Resource Management Centre in Chilliwack. NEB panel members have been hearing from various First Nation bands between the Fraser Canyon and Vancouver starting last week, and the message is solidly anti-pipeline. U.S. bands set to give evidence on Wednesday and Thursday have scheduled a protest at Island 22 in Chilliwack against the pipeline project. The hearings held at the Coast Hotel, which continue Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, are part of the NEB process into Kinder Morgan’s application to twin its 1,150-kilometre Trans Mountain oil pipeline,

Fright or flight

Chilliwack man sentenced to 12 years in prison for an ongoing, violent sexual assault of his toddler stepdaughter has had his appeal rejected by the B.C. Court of Appeal. In a written decision issued on Oct. 16, the court noted that the appellant, K.D.C.—his name cannot be printed due to a publication ban—was called “daddy” by the victim. K.D.C. performed violent, nightly assaults on the girl and videotaped himself in the process. In handing down the original sentence in court in Chilliwack in July, Judge Roger Cutler said the man had a “reprehensible attitude towards the offences” and is at high risk to reoffend. In the written appeal, the court noted that during an interview “the appellant stated that he did not believe he could be rehabilitated and that he would have sex with children again if he had the opportunity.” During sentencing submissions in June, the court heard that the man was raping the girl daily from when

Facebook site for school parents BY GREG LAYCHAK glaychak@chilliwacktimes.com

Paul J. Henderson/TIMES

Election signs line the streets at Five Corners.

he resurrection of a Facebook group originally started during the school board labour dispute might be the best source of information so far on candidates in the upcoming school board trustee election. “Chilliwack Parents for Public Education” was brought back to life from it’s dormancy by retired principal Ken Bramble to offer a forum where members can discuss education issues directly with trustee contenders. “It was just a matter of stoking the dying embers in the fire and using it to help address concerns and interests facing people as they go to vote,” he said. “It’s an opportunity to meet the candidates,” said Bramble, who at the moment is “rattling some chains” to get incumbents and other contenders involved in the conversation. The former educator has 40 years in the school system and he thinks

Candidates finding new and inventive ways to campaign

emember that old shampoo commercial from the 1980s about a woman who liked the product so much, she told two friends who told two friends and so on? With social media’s exponential rise in relevancy in recent years we are seeing how people can get hold of a subject and tell two, 10, 100 or 1,000 “friends” in moments. Time will tell whether or not Chilliwack residents will get excited, spread the word and come out and vote in local elections on Nov. 15, but no one can say they didn’t know a campaign was underway. If you aren’t online you are sure to have had an eyeful of the hundreds of candidate signs lining roadsides and boulevards around town. A couple of all-candidates meetings have been organized and some of those in the race have arranged meetand-greet type events. Those running for city council, school board, Cultus Lake Park Board and the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) board are also pushing online and social media campaigns like never before. And we can only hope there is a push and pull between the virtual and the real world that sharpens what

PAUL PAULJ.J. HENDERSON HENDERSON @peejayaitch @peejayaitch seems to be a rough yet developing interest in all things local and political. There is no shortage of issues in recent years to get people interested. To name a few: downtown dilapidation/revitalization; persistent property crime, both real and perceived; transparency at city hall; tax rates and how to keep them the lowest around; transit and traffic upgrades; and how to manage the coming growth to Chilliwack with limited developable land. On this latter issue, there will be increasing debate, even conflict, among local residents in the coming years over infill housing and densification. And let’s not forget the more controversial subjects from recent years that are sure to be brought up in the coming days: city hall paying $18 million-plus to buy homes on a slow-moving landslide in the Eastern Hillsides; the rezoning of a property near the Fraser River in the Cattermole Lands for a hazardous waste recycling

facility; and the demolition of the Paramount. From what I can find, 13 out of the 17 candidates for city council have Facebook pages dedicated to their campaigns. I couldn’t find pages for Richard Williams or Gerry Goosen, although the latter has a “coming soon” website at goosenoncouncil.ca. Nor do the campaigns for incumbents Stewart McLean and Chuck Stam seem to have an online presence, at least that I could find. As for Stam, the fact that we haven’t heard much from him shouldn’t be a surprise since he stated he would run a 14-day campaign from Nov. 1 to election day Nov. It’s hard to know if this is a concerted strategy to focus on the critical final days, or more of a “why-bother” since Stam is as close to a sure thing as there is. He received the most votes for city councillor in 2008 and 2011. McLean, on the other hand, should not be complacent and better have a strategy to focus on those final days. No incumbent is more on the bubble than McLean who grabbed the sixth seat in 2011 by fewer than 200 votes over Ron Browne. As for the other incumbents, Ken Popove is in the game with a modest Facebook effort so far and is encourag-

ing folks to contact him at work to chat. Jason Lum is all over the online campaign and is connecting with folks at various events. Sue Attrill has an online presence and is the only incumbent to get her name out there with signs, at least so far. Then there are the 12 hopefuls who are out there in varying degrees. The council candidates who have made the most noise so far, at least as far as I’ve noticed, include Dick Harrington, Michael Kha, Sam Waddington and Brigida Crosbie. Harrington has tons of big signs, he started things off with some press releases critical of Gaetz and city hall and a missing voter list. He also has a campaign push for free WiFi for the entire city, something that has been mocked by some and lauded by others. Kha has gone in hard with a massive social media presence that includes endorsements from various local people. He also has more signs on the street than anyone else. Waddington, like Kha and Lum, has an impressive online presence, which includes a professionally shot four-minute campaign video that’s worth watching. As for Crosbie, she has come out hard with a Facebook campaign where

she has jumped city issues such as the Paramount demolition and street homelessness. Her background as a lingerie/sex shop owner has earned a disproportionate level of disdain and vicious criticism by some on social media. While attacks on Crosbie’s character have been mostly immature, her response hasn’t always been professional and her status as a serious candidate is questionable. This week Crosbie said she was going to spend two days and nights out on the streets with the homeless under the Yale Road bridge near McDonalds. Told by many what a bad idea it was, she persisted, went to the bridge and met people, but just after midnight, made the right choice and went home. She said she also went to Ruth and Naomi’s the next day to talk to people and “build relationships.” Crosbie has jumped into this campaign with two feet, albeit with naivete and a disregard for what people think of her, which might be seen as a real plus in some circles. Those circles may be small and those people, I suspect, are those who don’t tend to vote. Not to leave anyone out, Phill Bruce, Brenda Currie, Chris Kloot, Patti { See HENDERSON, page A5 }

Judge: ‘Steer clear of idiots’ BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

he young man left holding the gun after prominent Chilliwack businessman Ted Shipley waved it at nightclub bouncers was issued stern advice by the judge who let him off the hook last week. Kevin Douthwright faced three weapons charges in connection with the 2013 incident at the Echo Room. He pleaded guilty to one firearm possession charge. “He’s an idiot,” Judge Ronald Caryer said of Douthwright’s co-accused Shipley. “You should steer clear of idiots.” The 54-year-old Shipley pleaded guilty in early September in Chilliwack Court to pointing a firearm. Charges of resisting arrest and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose were dismissed by the Crown. Shipley was given a conditional discharge by Judge Roger Cutler after argument in his defence by prominent criminal attorney John Conroy. It was near closing time in the early hours of May 22, 2013 when Shipley and Douthwright showed up at the door of the Echo Room. Visibly intoxicated, Shipley and Douthwright were denied entry by the two bouncers, Greg Wilhite

and Clayton Charlie. That’s when Shipley pulled out the handgun, pointed it at the bouncers and said to the bouncers: “Do you know who the f--- we are?.” In both the Shipley and the Douthwright case, Crown counsel Paul Blessin sought a conditional sentence. For Shipley, Blessin asked four to six months. Conroy argued that Shipley had personal hardships leading up to the incident, he was so drunk he didn’t remember it, and since he is an “excellent contributor” to the local community, a discharge was warranted. Cutler agreed, calling the incident one of “simple drunken tomfoolery,” and gave Shipley a conditional discharge. As for Douthwright, who apparently only met Shipley that evening, Blessin asked for a 60-day conditional sentence, a curfew, one-year probation, a five-year firearm prohibtion and a DNA order. Despite the fact that Shipley was the one who brandished the gun, and Douthwright was charged only as the man holding the gun when the police showed up, Cary-

er was less than sympathetic to the conditional discharge argument. He did seem surprised when he learned of how Cutler sentenced Shipley. “Well that’s interesting,” Caryer said, of the conditional discharge given to the man who brought the gun to the bar. “It’s fair to say Mr. Conroy did his job very well that day,” Blessin replied. Caryer then told Douthwright that what he did was serious and wrong, and that he should have backed away when Shipley pulled the gun. The judge pointed to the fact that the young man had no criminal record and had three “glowing” letters of support from family and friends. “This is not America,” Caryer admonished Douthwright. “We are an anti-gun society, generally. When people pull out guns in bars, bad things happen.” Caryer then agreed to defence lawyer Jayse Reveley’s request for a conditional discharge. Douthwright was also handed one year of probation and ordered to pay a $250 victim surcharge by March 2016.

Sentenced reduced 55 days { APPEAL, from page A1 } she was two years old. When arrested at his downtown Chilliwack home on Oct. 4, 2012, police interrupted the man sexually assaulting the then three-year-old girl. The man’s cellphone was seized and, along with another cellphone and a computer, 777 images and 72 videos of child pornography were found. The appeal put forth by Surrey lawyer Paul R. Evans was that the judge failed to give enough attention to the principle of rehabilitation, the mitigating factor that K.D.C.

himself was a victim of abuse as a child, and not enough credit was given for pre-sentence custody. In the decision written by Justice David Franklin Tysoe, the appeal was denied except to reduce the sentence by 55 days because of a change in the law regarding time served prior to trial. “All other aspects of the appeal are dismissed,” Tysoe wrote. “The sentencing judge did not make the errors asserted by the appellant with respect to the application of sentencing principles, and the sentence was not shown to be demonstrably unfit.”

And all are serious candidates with something to offer. This is a remarkably deep field of candidates with fewer non-serious or unelectable candidates than we’ve seen in the last two Chilliwack elections. The issues are real. The candidates are serious. The outcome is up to Chilliwack voters. Go on, tell two friends. Meet the candidates: Oct. 28, 12:20 p.m. - Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce all-candidates meeting, Best Western Rainbow Country Inn, 43971 Industrial Wy. Nov. 6, 7 to 9 p.m. - Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce mayor candidates meeting, Hampton Inn, 8050 Lickman Rd. Nov. 12, 7 to 9 p.m. - Yarrow Volunteer Society all-candidates meeting for City of Chilliwack mayoral and city council candidates. Yarrow Community Centre, 4670 Community St.

5 Great Reasons to Eat Chia Seeds

ose Weight - ChiaFactors chia seeds, have a unique gelling action that keeps you feeling full for hours. When a chia seed is wet, it increases in both size and weight.

Balance Your Blood Sugar - Balanced blood sugar levels are vital for health and energy. Blood sugars often spike after meals, leading to ‘slumps’ where you feel tired and listless. Balancing your blood sugar levels, lowers the risk of diabetes and ensures more energy all day. The soluble and insoluble fibre of chia seeds combine to slow down your body’s conversion of starches into sugar. Chia seeds convert your food into constant energy rather than ups and downs.

Prevent Bowel Problems - With processed foods, good fibre is hard to come by. Processed foods have contributed to the rise of diverticulitis and other bowel problems. Constipation is a big problem so... maintain regularity,with

by eating plenty of soluble and insoluble fibre. ChiaFactors are coated with soluble fibre and the exterior of the seed is insoluble fibre. Insoluble fibre keeps everything moving smoothly through the digestive process. Soluble fibre and the gel coating helps to keep your colon hydrated.

Add Omega-3’s to Your Diet - Chia is a rich plant-source of omega-3 oil. By weight, chia contains more omega-3 than salmon. Omega-3 oil is vital for good heart and cholesterol health. Get energized - ChiaFactors is one of nature’s highest plantbased sources of complete protein - to give you more energy and vibrant health. Try ChiaFactors... just sprinkle it on your food. It’s that easy. For more info about ChiaFactors, visit Sardis Health Foods 2 x 360 g

› News { PIPELINE, from page A1 } which runs from the Alberta oil sands to the Westridge Marine Terminal in Burnaby. The $5.4-billion project will nearly triple the capacity of the 62-year-old pipeline from 300,000 barrels per day (bpd) to 890,000 bpd. The company has said it intends to build the second pipeline in the existing right-of-way wherever possible and practical, with a few exceptions. The pipeline runs near the Cheam Lake wetlands in Popkum, crosses farmland in east Chilliwack, runs through residential areas in Sardis and two schoolyards before crossing the Vedder River into Yarrow. Opposition to the pipeline project has grown alongside a large public relations campaign by Kinder Morgan since the proposed project came to light two and a half years ago. The company has held open houses, sent out newsletters and advertised heavily trying to counter the opposition emerging from some municipal leaders, environmental groups and First Nations. At the hearing on Oct. 16, McHalsie was with one band employee and two lawyers, speaking to the NEB panel. Three Trans Mountain representatives were also in attendance, and allowed to ask questions of the Sto:lo cultural expert. Legal counsel for Shxw’owhamel, Catherine Fagan, introduced McHalsie, but also addressed a number of flaws in the NEB process, from the band’s point of view. Fagan said Shxw’owhamel was disappointed there were no representatives from the Crown present.

Opposition to pipeline growing “[T]here is a constitutional duty and obligation for the Crown to engage in a process with Shxw’owhamel to consult, to accommodate, and in fact, to obtain consent whenever there is title for any types of development in their territory,” she said. She added that First Nations were also not consulted in the design of the hearing process, and that they feel there is a double standard at play because the First Nations are not allowed to cross-examine Trans Mountain’s evidence while the company can cross-examine those who give evidence. McHalsie began his presentation by putting Shxw’owhamel in the context of the Sto:lo people, who in turn are part of the larger Coast Salish. He talked about the traditions and connections to the land and water. Much of his presentation delved into the oral history of the Sto:lo, and the stories they tell about the world. He also spoke about the history of the area, and he outlined the many contacts with Europeans over the centuries leading up to the Indian Act, the Reserve system and the federal Fisheries Act. He told the board that the original pipeline, constructed in 1952, had a “huge impact” on Shxw’owhamel families, some of whom were displaced. “[E]ven though it’s a small right-ofway that goes through our territory, I wanted to show the interconnection that we have, all the different resources that we use throughout

our territory. It’s still important to us, you know.” He pointed out that rights-of-way for other projects such as hydro lines and railways have also impacted the Sto:lo over the years. “[S]o some of the reserves like where I fish, where my great-greatgreat grandfather is buried in the cemetery there—Eslau—that was supposed to be 43 acres but because the CNR surveyor surveyed it, it is now 4.1 acres,” he said. “So a lot of the reductions happened because of those rights-of-ways.” The oral hearings were scheduled to continue Thursday with three tribes from the U.S., and Friday with the Hwlitsum First Nation and the Squamish First Nation. Before a fourth U.S. tribe was scheduled to present Wednesday afternoon, all four nations—Swinomish, Tulalip, Suquamish and Lummi—organized a protest against pipeline expansion with local First Nations at Island 22. Planned for 10 a.m. on Oct. 22 was a Coast Salish ceremony followed by statements from tribal leaders. “The tar sands pipeline would mean hundreds of new oil tankers in the shared waters of the Salish Sea and threatens to destroy the tribes’ culture and way of life,” a press release issued by the Swinomish said. In wrapping up his testimony last week, McHalsie said the Sto:lo believe it is their responsibility to protect and take care of their land. “This is our land. We have to take care of everything that belongs to us.”

No easy road for Kinder Morgan

◗ Publisher

f Kinder Morgan thought they’d have an easier time than Enbridge getting broad community support for its oil pipeline project, they were wrong. Enbridge was a greenfield project crossing great swathes of iconic and untouched wilderness. Kinder Morgan’s is a brownfield project—a twinning of a 62-year-old pipeline in, for the most part, an existing right-of-way. Dig up the ground next to the old pipe, put in a new one, and call it a day, right? There is, however, the fear of a catastrophic oil spill with increased tanker traffic once the oil gets to Burnaby. Then there is worry over pipeline leaks or ruptures all the way up the line where it crosses a great number of waterways, including the Vedder River. The National Energy Board (NEB) heard from elders in the local First Nations community this week how this project is another example through history of the Xwelitem—a Halq’emeylem word for non-natives—displacing people, taking land and taking resources. From the point of contact, the Sto:lo have been hit with smallpox, fur traders, the gold rush, the Indian Act, the Fisheries Act, the railroad, the Trans-Canada Highway, forestry, and, in 1952, the existing pipeline was built. Never mind support from non-native citizens and environmental groups, Kinder Morgan is in the middle of discovering whether or not B.C.’s First Nations community are willing, after centuries of it, to take one more incursion, one more displacement, one more disruption.

Happy to be married to Humanism

t’s a grey day, and I’m cold and broke, so of course my thoughts turn to celebrations. Birthdays, sunshine, food, weddings, births and packages tied with ribbons. The anticipation of these gets us through the grey days, and our memories of them are dotted with our close friends and families, our communities. Not just the events, but especially the people who share them with us, become the dominant threads of our lives. They make us happy. However, the desire for community can also cause tension. When my aunt was married, my grandmother very much wanted the minister of her church to officiate at the wedding. My aunt was marrying into a different denomination, and her new in-laws, of course, wanted their own clergyman to preside over the ceremony. The result was a battle over my aunt’s wedding day, and hard feelings that were not smoothed over until years later. Neither family was wrong in what they were doing; this just illustrates how strongly we can identify with our own

KAREN WOOTEN Be Our Guest community. If you are a humanist in B.C. with plans for a wedding, you face a similar situation. Although Humanism isn’t a religion, a strong community of humanists exists here in the Fraser Valley. They are my friends; we meet, we laugh, we attend events, and when my fiancé and I eventually get married, he and I want to share the day with them. And a complete stranger will officiate. All religious groups that I could think of, alphabetically from Baptists to Wiccans, have at least one minister in B.C. available to perform legally binding religious ceremonies. However, the provincial government does not recognize Humanists as a group worthy of ordaining legal officiants. This is despite the fact that in the 2011

census, 44 per cent of British Columbians defined themselves as having “no religious affiliation.” How does the government justify this position? The basic B.C. guidelines for becoming a legal officiant: your group has been established within B.C. for five years; your group has a sample marriage ceremony; and your group has people who are willing to become officiants. The BC Humanist Association and its affiliates have a long history in Canada. In Ontario (and in several countries around the world), Humanist celebrants, as they are called, do have the legal right to solemnize marriages. They have a sample ceremony posted on their website. I myself, and other people I know, are eager to become celebrants. It seems the only thing keeping us from gaining legal recognition is that we are not a “religious body” as defined by the B.C. Marriage Act. This means, simply, that because I do not subscribe to a particular church, I am not a good enough citizen to perform legal ceremonies.

Many people (most of whom have officiants within their own community) do not see this as a big deal. They suggest I just go to a neutral government official, a marriage commissioner. The commissioners may, or just as easily may not, be neutral, but he or she will not be of my community, and my community deserves the same respect as all others. Indeed, I do not need to get married at all; under B.C.’s Family Law Act, after two years of co-habitation, my fiance and I have the same legal rights and obligations as a married couple. But legal obligations do not get me through grey days. The people around me do. I want those people, my community, to be recognized as equal to all other communities, religious or otherwise. I want them to be able to celebrate as all other communities do. That will make us happy. ◗ Karen Wootten is a Humanist and atheist living and working in the Fraser Valley. Her belief system: treat every single human equally, with dignity and respect.

McKay’s archaic views and strike silence both wrong ➤ LETTERS

Future trustees need to address inequity Editor: The end of the recent teacher strike was in no way the end of problems for our B.C. public schools. The core issues remain. First and foremost the chronic underfunding continues. Since 2002 our public schools have suffered a relentless attempt by our current government to have them fail. Why? The answer is simple and complex at the same time. If our school system fails, the door opens for government to step in and initiate massive restructuring and privatization using the excuse that the system is broken and must be fixed. In spite of this ongoing attack, our B.C. system remains in the top 10 in the world thanks to dedicated innovative teachers and the fundraising efforts of parents. Forcing a teacher strike was part of this government’s strategy to gain public support for their desired changes. Unfortunately for them, this public support didn’t materialize. In fact, it gathered behind teachers. When protests started coming from the Chinese community the government realized that they had to settle. Since 2002 private schools have enjoyed approximately 46 per cent increase in funding while public schools have received less than 16 per cent. The portion of the provincial budget dedicated to education has

continued to get smaller and smaller while costs have continued to rise. All these increases have been offloaded to existing school district budgets. Approximately 80 per cent of district budgets go to salaries, leaving only 20 per cent for everything else. So the only real option available to school boards it to cut staff. This is why we now have crowded classrooms, less support for students with special needs, less learning assistance, fewer teacher librarians, fewer specialist teachers and challenges to teaching and learning. Currently B.C. sits at the bottom in terms of funding for our schools. Only PEI is lower. Our school districts get $1,000 less per student than all other provinces except PEI. We must work together with our new school board after the upcoming election to change this serious inequity. This starts with the election of a strong, progressive board. In my view if our schools fail we can anticipate some or all of the following: 1. Further amalgamation of school districts similar to our health regions. Each of these seven super districts administered by an appointed board of directors and a CEO. No more local school boards or local autonomy. 2. Charter schools with a revised curriculum with a shift in focus from academics to job training. 3. Government issued vouchers, similar to the $41 a day, for parents to use to help defray tuition fees at private schools where small classes and an academic focus would look attractive. 4. Contracting out clerical and custodial services in these charter schools. Charter schools typically function independently, run by a school council and a management team. 5. Enhanced online schooling and use of technology to reduce the number of teachers needed. 6. Implementation of an industrial model where schools are in competition with each other, measured by standardized test results. The Fraser Institute was founded in large part to encourage this. This government has sent delega-

Editor: It has taken my 56 years if life to finally figure out why people call the Royal Canadian Mounted Police “pigs” I always thought the nickname didn’t fit until now. After a home invasion, I came home to the mess the identification team leaves. We were already stressed out by the violent home invasion and the RCMP compounded our stress. The next day I confronted the ident team on Airport Road to retrieve some property seized by the RCMP. I asked them if they had any protocols in place relating to their cleanup of the mess they leave (fingerprint dust). Their reply to me: “They get paid too much to do that.” So the nickname is related to the mess they leave after investigating a crime scene. Every professional I know cleans up after a job is completed. They should be embarrassed by the further stress they produce and the mess they leave for the victim to clean up.

Editor: Your reader, Gary Raddysh, seemed to hit the most salient points regarding the decision by the Harper government to send jets to bomb ISIS targets. He highlights Marc Strahl’s silence on this subject. I beg to differ on this point. Indeed Mr. Strahl did stand in his place during the debate and pledged his wholehearted support for the mission to bomb. He did not, during his speech, endorse any action by Canada with regard to humanitarian assistance nor help in providing leadership among the other NATO partners to do so. He was careful not to support, in even the most insignificant way, any ideas for a more measured approach outlined by the other parties. So that, among other things, will be issues that Mr. Strahl will have to defend in the upcoming election campaign. The problem we have in this riding like all others is we have a first past the post elected member who must follow the dictates of the PMO and recite his talking points. Never has he ever started a speech in the HOC with the words “a majority of my constituents have asked me to. . . .”

Local MPs have no true muscle to flex

One only has to peruse Hansard to see this although it is very difficult to find occasions where he has really said much in open session. He has, to give some credit due, spoken in committee but that is his ongoing responsibility as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. The trick in understanding party politics is to not be too surprised by the actions of the sitting MP. He or she has no power in our Parliament to truly represent what we want. The job of the MP is to tell us what the government wants not to tell the government what we want. That is politics as usual. Wayne Underhill Chilliwack

A delegation was also sent to Wisconsin to see how they managed to bust their teacher’s union. These are my views based on research and reading while watching what has been happening to our school system under Christy’s watch. I am sharing them, knowing that speculation on my part is woven throughout this piece. However after spending 40 years as an educator in the public school system, I feel my experience has some value.

THE MANAGEMENT AND STAFF

6664217

Editor: This is a response to Doug McKay’s letter in the Oct. 16 Chilliwack Times. You made several statements that I would like to respond to, but for brevity, I’ll only discuss a couple. Firstly, by your own admission, you were silent during the teacher’s labour dispute. Your excuse is that you didn’t want to “interfere” with the bargaining process.” What a bunch of hogwash. The public education system needed your voice and that of all trustees at that time more than any other. And since when is communicating with our MLAs and other public officials about our opinions an “interference?” That is exactly what a democratic society is all about: making sure our local leaders know our desires so they can best represent us. That you would deliberately remain silent tells us you were quite satisfied with the government purposely avoiding negotiating with the teachers and keeping schools closed for five weeks. As a trustee, that is unacceptable. Secondly, your suggested method of correcting the school system by eliminating the BCTF because it is, as you claim, archaic and not needed tells us you are out of touch with the reality of the current political climate in B.C. The present Liberal government has no regard for public employees, especially teachers as evidenced by the way they disrespected them during this round of negotiations. The government would walk over this profession and others, much like business owners during the industrial revolution treated their workers if not for the unions. If you want real improvements in the education system, the simplest solution is to start treating those on the front lines with respect starting by negotiating in good faith and not illegally tearing up contracts. Once we can start trusting the government, the BCTF won’t have to waste resources on fighting them, and can instead start focusing on actually improving the system. Glen Sallenbach Chilliwack

Too much noise for us to hear God’s whisper I BY JOHN SOVEREIGN St. Thomas Anglican Church

was visiting my uncle some years ago. He said, “John, I don’t remember my father. He signed up for the war down at the pub, and got shipped out the next day. He was killed in 1915. I was only two years old when my Dad was killed. He never saw my younger sister. My oldest brother was 14. There was nothing we could do about it, was there? My mum had to get on with it, didn’t she? But we were poor. I never knew my Dad.” That got me to thinking about my

uncle’s words, and how thousands can be killed in a single day, for just a few metres of land. And the same on the enemy side. Trying to take one small piece of land. The Sadducees put a question to Jesus in Matthew 22. A brother dies, then another brother, and another until seven brothers all marry the same woman, then die. It is a clever question, but a bitter story. What about the woman—to survive a husband, then another, and another and another? Or the brother’s family, to say one died, then another, and another, and another, all the brothers? God must have been a disappoint-

ment to the woman in the story. Where were the promises of God’s faithfulness? We are quick to say, “The Lord won’t give you more than you can handle,” but lots of people get more than I would want to handle. And yet, perhaps, this bereaved woman’s lips could still praise God, could still say with us, “My mouth is filled with God’s praise, Let everything living bless him, Bless his holy name from now to eternity!” (Psalm 145:21 The Message). Look at Jesus. His stepfather, Joseph, likely died young. We see Jesus exhausted, hounded, and threatened. Sometimes he is up

before the sun. He goes off by himself in the middle of the night. If you were to listen as he prayed as he did at Gethsemane, his prayers erupted like great sobs, from his deepest being. Jesus was well acquainted with suffering. Why should our lives turn out nice and easy? Wartime is a vicious, cruel time, but for many soldiers and civilians it is a profoundly spiritual time, when God is quite close, able to whisper in their ears. Our happy lifestyle makes too much noise for us to hear God’s whisper. But amidst the horrors of war and suffering, God’s whisper can be heard. Even over battlefield cannon.

My uncle died a few years ago. He is experiencing what lies beyond the door called death. Heaven is not filled with harps. It is filled with real people. All masks are stripped away, and all are known as they really are. In that day, Jesus will say, “See my loving work here, and over here,” and we will look at ourselves and say, “When did that happen, Lord?” And Jesus will say, “When you were crying under the apple tree, that is when I touched you, and look what you have become!” ◗ John Sovereign is a reverend with St. Thomas Anglican Church

Significant gains for Sardis field hockey GREG LAYCHAK glaychak@chilliwacktimes.com BY

he Sardis secondary girl’s field hockey team is looking at a shorter, but more hopeful season than 2013. Last year was the first time sticks hit the turf for the high school squad in three years, and it didn’t end well. The final record for Sardis last season: 0-8. So far 2014 is looking more promising already for the AAA team with one win, two ties and a loss heading into the final week before next week’s championship tournament. “What really helped was we had a lot of girls playing with the Pink Panthers which ended in July,” said Michelle Savich, head coach of the team. Savich was referring to the under-16 team she also coaches in the spring. It kept some girls in practice as they came into the fall school season. But most of the improvement falls with the motivation of this particular group of girls, Savich said. “These athletes show so much resiliency coming back after last year’s tough record to want to be better, with heads high, ready to represent and ready to work hard,” she said. This year’s delay because of the labour dispute meant the regular season was compressed into four weeks. “If anything it’s made us work a little harder because we have less time,” said returning play-

Crusader women edged out

er Meghan Clarke. “We’re doing the best we can with the short season.” “We know that if we work harder, we get to play longer too,” said the 16-year-old. Tim Murphy, coach at Vedder Middle School brought his girls to have a mixed practice with the seniors. He’s working with Savich to develop more talent that will stream into Sardis. Murphy has even let two of his Grade 9 students play with the Sardis crew for a couple of games to gain experience at a higher level. “Next year they’ll probably have the most girls they’ve had in years,” said Murphy. “There’s some really talented Grade 9s that’ll be moving up.” It’s been hard to get the numbers for a senior program over the years. Field hockey is a technical sport with fewer parent volunteers to draw from, so it’s not often played at an elementary school level, according to Murphy. And that makes it tough to establish a robust program. But things are moving in the right direction for the Sardis girls. Depending on the outcome from this week’s Tuesday and Wednesday games, they might find a spot in the AAA Fraser Valley championships next week. Either way, coach Savich remains optimistic. “Even if our season ends early, we have so much to build on for next year I cannot help but be excited.”

en’s rugby team came up short against Burnaby losing 25-22. Hope Puckey and sister Alicia Puckey each scored two tries, with Karaline Heibner adding the converts. Other performances of note came from Tianna Duval, Landry Winkles and Virginia Engstrom. This Saturday the women will travel to Abbotsford, to face a team with only one loss in the season.

Cross-country success

Sardis secondary’s cross country team headed into the Fraser Valley high school championships Wednesday, after a successful previous two weeks. The senior boys team finished first overall at Big Rock in Aldergrove last Thursday. Both senior girls and senior boys teams finished first in Coquitlam earlier in October.

he Chilliwack Chiefs hold top spot in the mainland division with a win over Prince George and a two-game sweep against Coquitlam last week. Sitting two points above Prince George, the local team has a 9-1-1 record and has played two fewer games than the second place Spruce Kings. The Chiefs travelled to Coquitlam for a 5-3 victory at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre Friday. Jordan Kawaguchi scored the game opening goal almost 12 minutes into the first period, with Craig Puffer and Jake Larson both contributing two goals apiece. After the game was tied 3-3 at the end of 40 minutes, both Puffer and Larson scored their second points in the final frame. At Prospera Centre, the results were similar as the Chiefs won 6-3, keeping the Express no fewer than two points

Both teams had 37 shots on goal, but Chiefs goalie Aidan Pelino came out ahead of his Express peer Braden Krogfoss in total saves.

Head coach Jason Tatarnic pointed out that four of the six points scored on his team over the weekend were Coquitlam power-play goals.

He said the team needs to eliminate the unnecessary penalties. Mistakes aside, Tatarnic views his Chiefs as playing fairly balanced. “Anytime you can score three or more goals in a game you’re doing well,” he said. “And on the D side, anytime you can let three or less goals against you you’re in good shape.” Chilliwack will be hosting Powell River Friday and Alberni Valley Saturday before they have a Tuesday road game in Merritt. Coach Tatarnic acknowledges that three games in five days will be a test for his team, but that they’re at work preparing for their opponents. The Chiefs will focus on special teams and being more competitive in their small space game on the ice this week in an effort to maintain their first place position. “Every game’s important in terms of the standings.”

hat do Brad Hodgins, Darrell Sandback, Cory Demossiac and Chad Onufrechuk all have in common? For long-time Chiefs fans, that is an easy question. For newer fans, you may not know that those four names likely enjoyed listening to Ace of Base or Pearl Jam but are better known for playing on the 1994-95 Chiefs team. That team captured the first ever BCJHL championship for Chilliwack. We are excited to be recognizing that talent-laden squad by dawning a replica red, white and blue jersey

Barry Douglas Chiefs Report this Saturday night when the Chiefs host the Alberni Valley Bulldogs at 7 p.m. at Prospera Centre. Mark your calendars as the jerseys will be auctioned off on Friday Dec. 12, just before Christmas. The ’94-’95 team boasted a ton of skill, and even more grit and determination. Two players, Jason Krog (47 goals) who went on to a very

good NHL career, and Jeff Trembecky (48 goals) had monster seasons with 128 points and 109 points respectively in 60 games. Concurrent with this offensive domination, Captain Peter “The Rat” Zurba had 72 points and 166 penalty minutes in 54 games. Speaking of PIMs, the game was a tad different back then, as the Chiefs boasted five players who recorded more than 100 penalty minutes. One of the toughest Chiefs of all-time, Chad Nelson, had a whopping 209 minutes in the sin bin in 45 games. “Nelly” also had one of the hardest

shots in the league which enabled him to collect an impressive 43 points. The ’94-’95 playoff run had enough memories to last a life time. I recall pulling into the Old Barn on Corbould Street around 8 a.m. on post-season game days, OK, actually around 9 a.m., I may have been out with director of hockey operations Rich Brew the night before. But the point of this story is I remember getting chills seeing the long, long line of fans wrapped around the entire east wall of the Chilliwack Coliseum as they waited to purchase tickets.

A memory that frequently pops into my mind is that of Shawn York scoring in triple overtime versus Kelowna in game six of the semis. That game winning snipe forced a game seven in Kelowna, which the Chiefs won with a pair of goals by Ilia Borisychev. While the entire Coliseum was going ballistic, I recall looking down from the tiny, old wooden press box to see if my four-year-old boy was jumping for joy, but he was fast asleep. I remember working with Walt Derksen on Cogeco Cable TV, which broadcasted the BCJHL clinching game live. We

interviewed Head Coach and GM Harvey Smyl on the ice after the game, fans were chanting and cheering, and no one wanted to leave the building. This Saturday, a pair of local players who were on that squad, Cam Campbell and Mike Pfiefer, will be dropping the ceremonial puck and we will run a special video message from one of the all-time Chiefs fan favourites, Peter Zurba.

The Atom Blue Giants lost to Meadow Ridge Gold 42-6 last week. Quarterback Carter Dallas scored the sole touchdown, bouncing to the outside for a 35-yard run. Running back Tyler Kelly put in some big runs, including a 45-yard gain to help move the Giants offence. The day’s offensive yard gains were in large part off the blocking efforts of Logan Duff on the line. Nose tackle Aiden Parks was a force on the defensive side of the ball, recording two sacks and six tackles. The Knights coaches nominated him as the player of the game. His counterpart Camillo Salas wreaked havoc on the line, and linebacker

he cold weather brings with it a season of smiles, the first snowfalls and, unfortunately, cold and flu outbreaks. While everyone else is suffering, there are ways you can make it through the season unscathed. It is estimated that a billion people across North America will succumb to the cold virus this year, says Medline. Considering there is no cure for cold and flu viruses, prevention remains a person’s best option at fending off cold and flu. There are different precautions to take that can help protect you against getting sick or at least reduce the frequency and severity with which cold and flu strikes. Although there is no magic pill to take that will prevent you from catching a cold or the flu, there are ways to improve your odds. ◗ Wash your hands the right way. Washing your hands frequently remains the single-best way to keep viruses and bacteria that can make you sick from infiltrating the body. Washing your hands for at least 20 seconds can effectively remove any dirt, grime and invisible invaders. ◗ Skip antibacterial products. Because colds and the flu are the result of viruses, which are different in behaviour and structure from bacteria, they will not be killed off with the use of antibacterial products. What you may succeed

Slow down the spread of influenza - Get a flu shot. Flu shots are important for everyone.

Most people can get a free flu shot. For more information on who can get a free flu shot and where to get it, contact your doctor, pharmacist or visit www.fraserhealth.ca/flushot

Flu shots are available at many locations. For children over 5 years of age, adults and seniors, contact your doctor or local pharmacist for an appointment. For children under 5 years of age and their families, contact your doctor or local Public Health Unit for an appointment by calling 604-702-4902.

nation to prevent the common cold, but there are immunizations that can help reduce your risk of getting the flu or help minimize its severity. Doctors’ offices, clinics and even pharmacies all offer annual flu shots.

◗ Use sanitizer on items around the house. Surfaces that are frequently touched by all members of the household should be wiped down with a disinfectant product. A bleach-and-water solution is an effective sanitizer. Surfaces to sanitize

include phones, doorknobs, light switches, remote controls, computer keyboards, faucets, toys and countertops. ◗ Avoid sick people. KidsHealth.org states that flu viruses and colds can travel up to 12 feet (from a sneeze or cough). Steer clear of anyone exhibiting symptoms, especially someone who is frequently sneezing or coughing. Parents should keep children home from school if they are sick. Do so until symptoms subside so as not to infect others. ◗ Use a sanitizer product. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advise that when hand-washing is not readily available, a good way to kill germs is to use an alcohol-based sanitizer lotion. While not as effective as washing hands in warm, soapy water, sanitizing products can be used in a pinch while you’re on the go. ◗ Cough into your sleeve. Rather than coughing or sneezing into your hands, do so into the crook of your elbow since this area rarely touches anything else. ◗ Skip the buffet lunch. Buffet-style offerings are convenient and offer variety, but they are also a breeding ground for illnesses. These foods may have been sneezed or coughed on. Also, the serving spoons have been touched by dozens of people. There are many different ways to avoid getting a cold or the flu this season. Diligence is one of the keys to staying germ-free.

Nutrition and aging go hand-in-hand find themselves unable to keep up with the physical demands of everyday life as well as they used to. Including ample low-fat protein, which can be found in fish, eggs and low-fat dairy among other foods, will aid in muscle recovery, benefitting aging athletes as well as those men and women over 50 who recently started exercising as a means to regaining their physical fitness. Carbohydrates are also an important part of a balanced diet, as they are a great source of energy that can help men and women stay active well past the age of 50. Carbohydrates found in fruits, grains and vegetables are the most beneficial, as these contain valuable vitamins, minerals and nutrients. ◗ Don’t denounce dairy. Dairy is a great source of calcium, which promotes strong bones and teeth. Men and women over the age of 50 want their bones to be as strong as possible because aging is one of the strongest risk factors for osteoporosis, a potentially debilitating medical condition in which loss of tissue causes bones to become brittle and fragile.

Vitamin D is necessary to effectively absorb calcium, and vitamin D can be found in certain dairy products, including pasture-raised eggs and grass-fed cow’s milk, and can be generated when men and women get enough sunlight. Other healthy sources of vitamin D include salmon, light tuna packed in oil, sardines, and sun-grown mushrooms. ◗ Cut back on sodium intake.

The average mouth is made to hold only 28 teeth. It can be painful when 32 teeth try to fit in a space that should hold only 28 teeth. These four other teeth are your third molars, also known as “wisdom teeth.” Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt within the mouth, usually by the age of 18. When they align properly and gum tissue is healthy, wisdom teeth do not have to be removed. Unfortunately, this does not generally happen.

utrition is important for people of all ages, but it’s especially important for men and women over the age of 50, who can dramatically improve their quality of life by eating a well-balanced diet filled with vitamins and nutrients. Though that may seem like common sense, research has shown that men and women in this age group, who are often referred to as “Baby Boomers,” are not necessarily as healthy as they may seem. The following are a few ways men and women over 50 can alter their diets so their bodies are getting what they need to live long and healthy lives well into their golden years. ◗ Balance your diet. Kids hear of the benefits of a balanced diet seemingly from the moment they enter a classroom for the first time, but many adults fail to heed that basic advice as they get further and further away from kindergarten. When changing your diet, be sure to include plenty of protein and carbohydrates. Protein maintains and rebuilds muscles, which is especially important for aging men and women who might

AS SEEN ON ARKETPLA CE C’S M Thanks Bruce I have a young family, a husband and three kids and my life is very complex. I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses was something I couldn’t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didn’t need an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less than I paid for one pair at my regular optometrist. I couldn’t believe how great the deal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere but Great Glasses in the future. I’m so glad that Bruce was willing to fight for good customer value. Sincerely, Amy Gill

with one another across the space. A home’s floor plan largely depends on the preference of the homeowner. There are many advantages to having an open floor plan versus one that is more compartmentalized. Here is a look at some of the pros and cons. Pro: Open floor plans can be safer for parents of young children. If the home opens up with the living spaces branching off from the kitchen, parents can keep an eye on children while the parents prepare dinner. It also eliminates the number of places that kids can hide and get into mischief. Con: Privacy is reduced in a home with few walls. Much in the way that an open floor plan enables children to be seen from every angle, it also enables you to be seen—and all of your belongings as well. There’s also no place to retreat to if you need a minute to collect yourself when entertaining. You’re on display unless you retreat to the bathroom. Pro: Entertaining can be easier in a home with an open floor plan because hosts and hostesses are not separated from their guests or holed up in the kitchen the entire time. An open space enables everyone to mingle and conversations to flow. Con: Those who like to host events without showing guests all of their dirty dishes or secrets of

the kitchen may dislike an open floor plan. Pro: Light can flow effectively through an open space, minimizing dark rooms and reducing the need to install more windows. Light in and of itself can help a home feel more spacious. Con: While light can flow easily, so can sound. Noises through the house may be amplified. A student doing homework in the dining room may be disturbed by the television blaring in the family room. Talking on the phone or even finding a quiet nook to read a book may be challenging. Pro: Open floor plans allow for more family time together in one space than a home with a more compartmentalized layout. Con: People who are collectors or who have a lot of furniture or accent items may find that open floor plans do not work well with this type of design mantra. Pro: Because several rooms run into one another, colour choices for walls and furnishings in a home with an open floor plan can be limited and cohesive, making choices easier. Con: On the flip side, those who want to incorporate different color schemes and eclectic styles may have difficulty deciding on where to “end” rooms or how to co-mingle furniture.

chipped. That dust can be especially harmful to children, pregnant women and pets. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, lead dust that is as small as a grain of sand is enough to poison children, who may suffer brain damage, hearing loss, nervous system and kidney damage, and decreased muscle and bone growth after exposure to lead dust. When pregnant women are exposed to lead dust,

that exposure may affect the baby’s cognitive development while increasing the mother’s blood pressure. Household pets exposed to lead dust may suffer from a series of side effects, including vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and possibly death.When making renovations to their homes, homeowners can open windows and wear protective gear such as masks and safety goggles to avoid direct exposure to lead dust.

Homeowners about to embark on home improvement projects should prioritize dust removal to avoid the potentially negative side effects of exposure to lead dust. When undergoing a renovation, homes built before 1978, the year the use of lead paint was banned, are likely to produce lead dust, which occurs when lead paint is sanded or

pen floor plans have evolved to be the floor plan of choice in new homes and current home renovations. Turn on a home renovation show, and you’re likely to see eager homeowners knocking down walls to open the kitchen to the family room. Walls have become anathema to homeowners. There are many supporters of the open floor plan, particularly those who entertain frequently or like to keep an eye on children throughout the house. Although open floor plans are touted, there are plenty of people who have never been enamored with having all of their rooms flowing into one. There also are some people who prefer a different style. For those who are not fans of the open floor plan, blame the excess of the 1980s for their inception. In homes built in the 1960s and 1970s, rooms were compartmentalized and isolated for specific activities. During the 1980s, an era of “bigger is better,” when entertaining was widely popular among homeowners, designers noticed that many homeowners preferred an open floor plan in which rooms merged into one another, creating the illusion of more space. These floor plans also enable people to be in separate rooms and still interact

Tips learned the hard way ‘T is the season for home improvement projects, and weekend warriors will soon be visiting home supply retailers to buy everything from paint to plywood. There are many advantages to making home improvements on your own, including the opportunity to test your mettle at projects big and small. Many a novice DIYer has learned the ups and downs of home improvement through trial and error. But the following are a handful of lessons first-timers can heed before beginning their maiden voyages into the world of DIY home improvements. ◗ Measure twice, cut once. Perhaps this is the best-known mantra of home improvement, yet many still ignore it. Whether you’re anxious to get started or simply because you still cannot convert metric to standard formula, you must take the time to measure twice before cutting. Learning that you’re a hair too short later will be prove frustrating and time-consuming and often necessitates a last-minute run to the store for more materials. Always measure multiple times before making cuts. ◗ Enlist a helper. Having a partner helping with the work is the most efficient way to tackle a project. This person can assist you with heavy lifting or moving things or by

holding the ladder or simply passing tools your way. He or she also can manage work while you make another run to the home centre for more supplies. Having a helper around also provides companionship during tedious projects. ◗ Lighten the load. You run the risk of injury, both to yourself and your belongings, if you attempt to move heavy items on your own. When moving heavy items, take steps to lighten your load. For example, empty or remove drawers from desks and dressers before moving them. Rely on sliding pads when moving furniture so items can be slid into place instead of lifted. Always ask a buddy to help move especially heavy items. ◗ Prime before painting. Painting can be a time-consuming task. In an effort to save time, some people will look for painting shortcuts, and these may include skipping the priming portion of painting. Priming helps to cover existing paint colour and prevent bleed-through of stains or darker hues to the next coat of paint. Failure to use a primer could mean having to paint coat after coat, which can become costly and take up a significant amount of time. Always rely on a priming product, or look for a paint that blends a primer within to achieve better coverage. And while you are ensuring a proper paint job, remember to use painter’s tape

or an edging product to help keep paint off of moldings and trim. ◗ Use the right tools. The right tools make work safer and easier. Think about how much faster you can cut through a tree trunk with a chainsaw rather than a handsaw. Improvising or using the wrong tools for the job can cost you time and increase your risk of injury. ◗ Turn electricity off at the panel box. Be especially cautious when working with electricity, turning off the current. This means shutting down the power on the breaker box. A live wire can provide a minor shock or lead to serious injury. Take the extra time to ensure the power is off before working with any exposed wiring. ◗ Expect the unexpected. Although many renovation projects go off without a hitch, you never know what you might uncover when you embark on repairs or remodels. Homeowners have come across all sorts of hidden problems when doing seemingly minor repairs. Removal of drywall may uncover insect damage in beams or indications of water infiltration. Some people take down old paneling, only to discover it was covering heavily damaged walls beneath. One repair project can run into another when home improvements are being made. Always leave breathing room in your budget and schedule extra time for unforeseen tasks as well.

Bathroom transformation tips

he allure of a spa-style bathroom is something few homeowners can resist. Such bathrooms can make for a welcome retreat after a long day at the office or an afternoon spent chasing kids around the yard. But as appealing as such a sanctuary may seem, the cost of creating a luxury washroom is more than many homeowners’ budgets can possibly withstand. Fortunately, a dream bathroom does not have to break the bank. In fact, there are several ways to make a bathroom worthy of the most comforting spa without stretching your budget. ◗ Install a wall-hung mirror. If your idea of a luxury bathroom harkens back to a time before the advent of recessed medicine cabinets, then a wall-hung mirror can give the bathroom an entirely new feel without much of a financial commitment. Flush-mount mirrors need not require the services of a contractor, but they can provide a sense of elegance that recessed cabinets cannot. ◗ Replace bathroom countertops.

Budget-friendly suggestions how to get the most for your money

such an undertaking is not very costly in the washroom, where counter space is typically limited. Since the cost of countertop materials is by the square foot, you can replace bathroom surfaces for a relatively small amount of money. Granite countertops can be beautiful, but such surfaces do not create the warm feel that many prefer in a luxury bathroom. A material such as soapstone is warm and inexpensive and can quickly give the bathroom a new look. ◗ Embrace calm colours. Painting the bathroom is another inexpensive way to give the room an entirely new look. If the walls of your washroom are currently a vibrant colour, consider a more calming tone to give the room the luxurious and relaxing feel you’re aiming for. If your bathroom includes a clawfoot tub, you also can make it a two-tone tub to add a touch of relaxing elegance. Paint the tub’s exterior in a calming tone such as soft gray, and you will have transformed the washroom at little cost and even less effort. ◗ Transform your double vanity. Many homeowners prefer a double vanity in their bathrooms, as such a setup allows both men

and women the space to get ready for bed or work without getting in one another’s way. But instead of a traditional vanity with a counter between the sinks, consider installing matching pedestal sinks to surround an antique washstand. This can give the washroom a feel of antique luxury, and such washstands can found for a few hundred dollars. ◗ Replace old fixtures. Though they are often overlooked, cabinet and door fixtures as well as towel racks can greatly influence the feel of a washroom. If the cabinet and drawer handles are old or outdated, replace them with more modern options. Such a job might be even more effective if you repaint or reface existing cabinetry. Neither task is terribly expensive, but both can give the washroom a more luxurious feel. The same goes for replacing old towel racks, which can be an eyesore if they’re especially dated. Transforming a bathroom may seem like a significant and costly undertaking, but savvy homeowners can give their washrooms a new and luxurious look without spending much money and yet looks as though they have.

5. Improve landscapes with fresh plants and seasonal colour. Homeowners without the time to plant can consider container gardens, which don’t take much time to assemble but still add appeal to a home’s exterior.

Barney Bentall

John Mann

Intimate evening with trio of musical titans

ock ’n’ roll has been a long road for Barney Bentall, but he says he has no plans to stop following it any time soon. And next month, that old familiar road brings him to the HUB International Theatre alongside fellow Canadian rockers Jim Byrnes and John Mann. These three pillars of the classic Canadian rock ’n’ roll scene appear together for a handful of performances this fall. Catching Bentall, Byrnes & Mann on stage will be one of the liveliest shows of the season—one you won’t want to miss. They’ll be telling stories and playing more than a few classic songs in what promises to be an intimate evening bursting with stories and incredible music on Nov. 2. After all, these three musicians have paid their dues in the business, with 25 albums and 100 years of rock ’n’ roll touring between them, getting that kind of experience in one place, Bentall says, is a joy for both the musicians and the audience. “They’re just tremendous musicians—those guys all come in so pre-

pared,” Bentall says of the show. As individuals these musicians have played, and sold out, shows all across British Columbia before heading to the Fraser Valley, and it looks like Chilliwack audiences sure are in for a treat. Bentall is glad to bring his music on this tour—after all, it’s a passion he just can’t seem to stay away from. After a seven-year stint as a cattle rancher between 2000 and 2007, he decided to pick up his guitar and get back on the road, and hasn’t looked back since. “The last seven years have been a great continuation of the journey,” Bentall writes on his website. He’s lived and travelled all across Canada, and that quintessential Canadian spirit seeps into his music like campfire smoke. Rock, folk, and bluegrass all find their way into his music; it doesn’t stay in a single genre,

And despite the Alzheimer’s diagnosis, he plans to keep on keeping on. “I don’t want to spend any more energy trying to hide my symptoms,” he writes in a blog post. “I will continue to make music and I will continue to do shows . . . because this is what I do and what I love.” It’s fair to say that love of music and performance drive all three of these Canadian rockers—and that passion will illuminate the HUB International Theatre when Bentall, Byrnes & Mann take to the stage on Nov. 2 at 7:30 p.m. This performance promises not only fantastic Canadian classics, but heart—which all three of these legendary musicians have in spades. ◗ Tickets are $35 for adults, $32 for seniors, and $30 for students.

No sour notes on new album

on’t let the title fool you. There isn’t a single sour note on The Lemon Squeeze, the sixth and latest album from beloved Canadian singer-songwriter Jeremy Fisher. After developing a devoted fan base through five folk-influenced releases, Jeremy boldly ventures in a new direction with The Lemon Squeeze. This is clear from the opening track, “I Love You… So”; a tight pop tune owing more to Ben Folds than to any folk artist. The end result was everything from Randy Newman-inspired piano ballads with strings, to Queen-esque guitar licks, to Billy Joel-styled pop. “I am definitely wearing my influences on my sleeve with this record,” admits Fisher quite openly. Despite the fact that Fisher was inspired by albums on wax, The Lemon Squeeze doesn’t have that traditional flow. For this, Jeremy

driven to make albums as an artist,” he said. “The way we listen to music is changing though and as much as I tried to create a cohesive body of work, The Lemon Squeeze plays like an album of singles. It was liberating to make every song on the record unique.” Fisher’s accolades are many, including an appearance on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, two Juno Award nominations, and tours with the Indigo Girls, The Proclaimers, Blue Rodeo, Great Big Sea, Bedouin Soundclash and Xavier Rudd on tour, and an opening spot for Alanis Morissette at the Expo World Fair in Nagoya, Japan.

Vancouver’s hippest blues-funk band, Brickhouse, is coming to Harrison Hot Springs Nov. 1.

Brickhouse delivers a party on stage

ancouver’s tightest and funkiest representatives of rhythm and blues, Brickhouse, will be igniting both the stage and dance floor Saturday, Nov. 1 at 8 p.m. in the intimate Harrison Memorial Hall as the second show of the Harrison Festival Society’s 26th season lineup. “I first saw Brickhouse in 1998 at the Frostbite Festival in the Yukon,” recalls Harrison Festival Society Artistic Director, Andy Hillhouse. “At that point they were already a super tight band, blessed with great players and a charismatic frontman, and over the remaining years they have matured and become even better at what they do.” With more than 20 years of touring and gigs under their belts, Brickhouse has been dubbed “Vancouver’s busiest band” (Storman Norman, Rock 101 Sunday Blues), and for good reason. With their devotion to bringing across

the genuine emotion behind classic and original blues funk music, Brickhouse has won respect among musicians as a band that makes a difference. “They are a band who have cut their teeth in bars and clubs, who know how to expertly work a crowd into a grooving, dancing frenzy,” says Hillhouse, “but they are also musically high quality and interesting.” Brickhouse is a six-piece band with not only great playing and singing “chops” but also lots of personality, as exemplified by the charismatic founding member and infamous front man, vocalist, and harmonica player Rob Bracken, who can often be found mingling and joking with the crowd on and off stage. The fun nature of the band does not negate the fact that they include some of Vancouver’s highest calibre and hardest working musicians, qualities that helped earn them the spot as house

band at the legendary Yale Hotel blues bar for more than 10 years. “The kind of music they play has a bit of the funk and soul vibe of The Deep End, who were here in Harrison last fall, but with more of an electric blues edge to it. They mix well-known songs with more obscure covers and some of their own tunes,” states Hillhouse. With a list of original material that rivals the number of keys on a full size piano, Brickhouse delivers a message that attracts the young, and the young at heart. With over 200 shows a year, it’s no wonder fans choose the set list before the band does. ◗ Tickets for Brickhouse are $22 and can be purchased online at www. harrisonfestival.com, by phone at 604-796-3664 or in person at the Ranger Station Art Gallery in Harrison and Agassiz Shoppers Drug Mart on Pioneer Avenue.

Fright or flight

Greg Laychak/TIMES

Attendees of the haunted house face scares around each corner.

“You can judge their anxiety, and usually a really anxious group is going to jump. But a group that’s less anxious, more relaxed, you need to play slowly to it.”

{ REAPERS, from page A1 } Passing the kitchen, he can’t help but comment: “So they’re preparing the evening’s meal, which could be you . . . .” With the lights on it seems funny, but within the hour everything will be dark and actors will take their places throughout the winding narrow hallways. Then things seem a whole lot less humorous. Year after year, hundreds of people line up and pay money to walk (or on occasion, run) through Reapers hoping to be genuinely scared. It’s a strange ritual that’s reflected by the persistently present horror movie genre that often tops box office profits. But there is an explanation for why fear is actually appealing to us. Being scared activates our fight or flight response says Rhonda Snow, associate professor of psychology at the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV). In that state, an endorphin and epinephrine release is stimulated by our autonomic nervous system (ANS) to prepare us to deal with the threat. “In most stories designed to scare us, there is a great deal of anticipation building to keep us on high alert,” says Snow. “This can provide an experience of feeling on edge, but ‘alive’ and ‘in the moment.’” She adds that an important aspect of our sought-out scares is that we know we can leave the situation whenever we want to gain relief. That is what distinguishes those experiences from real life-threatening situations. “This means that fear-generating experiences, which are under our control offer a great deal,” says Snow. “They energize us, make us feel alive, help us forget our daily hassles, and give us the opportunity to experience the camaraderie of other people who are caught up in the same experience.” While the UFV psychology expert

Alexa Wills (left) an actor at Reapers applies her make up with fellow volunteers Mackenzie Provost and Duresa Mjekiqi. doesn’t believe fear-seeking is entirely new to modern life, she guesses we search scary moments out more today because we experience fewer life-threatening events in our lives. Instead we use them to forget about our daily concerns. 20th anniversary for haunted house The whole complex that makes up the Reapers haunted house attraction was once the Moran family’s retail garden centre, but usually stays partly set up for the October attraction through the year. This year was an exception, as the whole facility was gutted and rebuilt for the 20th anniversary of the haunted house. After a visit last April to a haunting convention in Fort Worth, Texas, Moran’s son James came back

inspired, and went to work creating the new and improved Reapers that is now open nightly until Nov. 1. “He’s the next generation, and I think it’s going to be good,” says Moran. They’ve spent so much time on the build this year that there are many features unfinished. “There’s scares that are missing that we haven’t added yet, which is nice because it’s an evolution,” Moran adds. The experience will change every year, which should keep people guessing. To have an attraction of Reapers’ quality that also reinvents itself over time takes passion from the family and volunteers to keep everything going. Most of the participants are students putting the work toward their volunteer hours for school.

It’s a slow year which Moran speculates is due to the teachers strike preventing information getting out to the students on time. And some nights there’s more help than others: of the 15 who signed up to help Monday, only five showed up. “But we did it,” says Moran. “Our family and everybody kicks into high gear and makes it happen.” Not all of the volunteers are students. Some of the core participating actors might have started putting in volunteer hours to graduate and got hooked, while others just like to provoke terror in others. Danica Weismiller likes scaring people so much that she drove back from Squamish Saturday night to dress up and pop out of the shadows. The variety and fun of it is what made her come back for her third year

of volunteering. “You can judge their anxiety, and usually a really anxious group is going to jump,” says the optician. “But a group that’s less anxious, more relaxed, you need to play slowly to it.” “There’s definitely an art, it’s definitely a learned thing.” Weismiller adds that another major reason she acts at Reapers is it’s a great stress release from her day job. Another loyal actor Karl Schaefer has been scaring patrons of the haunted house for eight years and doesn’t plan to stop anytime soon. He enjoys watching people’s reactions to fear. “We’ve had them flail, we’ve had them sit down, we’ve had them fall over their friends and do a whole domino effect and fall all over each other,” says Schaefer who played the surgeon role Saturday. However, he says the fun comes with a lot of work, especially the closer it gets to Halloween. Doors open at 7 p.m. and sometimes the crew will be acting until past 2 a.m. according to Schaefer. It can add up to a long night in costumes that are sweaty and uncomfortable. But the benefits appear to outweigh the costs. Like those persistent walking dead, Schaefer and his actor cohort just keep . . . coming . . . back.

Three of Canada’s Finest Musicians - Bentall, Brynes, and Mann

Barney Bentall, Jim Byrnes, and John Mann are all heading to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre this November – touring as a trio for the first time ever. They will only play a handful of shows together on this brief tour, and have already sold out more than a few of their stops. Now Bentall, Byrnes & Mann will play at the HUB International Theatre, bringing all the old classics and more than a few stories to share. With 25 albums and 100 years of touring between them, the Chilliwack audience is in for a treat! Bentall, Byrnes & Mann have all overcome more than a few obstacles to be where they are today – and that history adds another soulful layer to their riffs and chords of this tour. Barney Bentall took a seven-year break from music to be a cattle rancher, but found the pull of the road was too strong to stay away from his musical career and hit the road again in 2007.

Jim Byrnes has come through two swipes with death, one resulting in the loss of his legs, and more than a few hard knocks —but nothing could stop his lifelong love of blues. His roots in Mississippi blues country are clear in his music: sweet, salty, and soulful.

And John Mann, who hails from awardwinning Canadian rock troupe Spirit of the West, fought a bitter battle with cancer that left him with a wounded voice but a stronger sense of self. He never for a minute considered letting it

slow him down, taking off as solo folk artist under the moniker Mr. Mann.

John Mann

“I’m the kid they cut apart, stitched back up, then grew a softer heart,” he croons in his most recent album. Mann suffered another blow this year, diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s. But again he’s determined to rise above his obstacles stronger than before. “I don’t want to spend any more energy trying to hide my symptoms,” he wrote in a blog post. “I will continue to make music and I will continue to do shows… because this is what I do and what I love.” So it’s no surprise that when Bentall, Byrnes & Mann take the stage together, their history and experience set the stage for an intimate and heartfelt show. In their long journeys across Canada and through decades of folk and rock and roll, they’ve learned to treasure the good things – and that passion will shine in the HUB International Theatre as they take to the stage on November 2. This performance promises not only fantastic Canadian classics, but heart—which these three legendary musicians have in spades.
