Kayli Sartori shows off some of the Magnum hops her family farm is famous for in one of the greenhouses at UFV’s Agriculture Centre of Excellence. BY GREG LAYCHAK glaychak@chilliwacktimes.com

Torn between hops and hoops, Kayli Sartori is back at school after a year on her father’s famous farm year with her father, Chris Sartori. “It was her idea,” says Chris. “You don’t push on kids what you do, you let them find their way.” Kayli, 22, spent almost every day with him from sun up to sun down doing what her father does every day for most of his life. “I learned what made him tick, I learned what he loves, what he’s really passionate about, what drives him as a person,” she says. A practicum student from the UFV agriculture program who came to

work on the Sartori farm introduced Kayli to the possibility of studying farming formally. And while her father says it was nice having Kayli on the farm to help with the 60 head of cattle and 15 acres of hops, he only had one hesitation about the idea: “She’s so good in basketball, you know when you take a break sometimes it isn’t the same when you get back.” But just as basketball was the main reason Kayli enrolled in UFV in the first place, it was another driving

reason to return to the school alongside her newly-found agriculture diploma studies. At the beginning of this season, around the same time her long-time coach Al Tuchscherer learned he had lost two key players for his Cascades, Kayli walked into his office and asked if she could play for him again. Of course Tuchscherer is glad to have his bronze-medal winning, national all-star player back. “It’s really nice to have that { See COVER STORY, page A6 }

man who met a 15-year-old girl on a popular social media site, picked her up at her Chilliwack school and had sex with her while filming the statutory rape, will spend more than a year-and-ahalf behind bars. In a separate incident, Sheldon James Lowney of Mission also had sex with another 15-year-old girl and filmed that, this time without the girl’s knowledge. The now 24-year-old pleaded guilty in B.C. Supreme Court in Chilliwack to two counts of sexual interference of a person under the age of 16, one count of drug possession and one breach while out on bail. In a July decision posted online last week, Justice Brian Joyce sentenced Lowney to 15 months in jail for the sexual interference of one girl and 14 months for the other. Those sentences are being served concurrently. Lowney was also sentenced to four months for drug trafficking after 318 grams of marijuana were found in his residence during a search related to the rape. It was May of 2012 when a then 15-yearold Chilliwack girl met Lowney on the website Nexopia. He was 21. The two communicated via social media and text messaging for a period of time during which explicit sexual conversations took place. Over the next few months they met several { See RAPE, page A5 }

ike many university students, Kayli Sartori loves craft beer. But she loves it in a way few of her peers are able to match—her family farm grows the hops used in some of the most coveted wet-hop beers in Canada. And now her love for that family and that farm have combined to bring her back to the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) to study agriculture after a one-year hiatus. But it took that break for Kayli to realize the Sartori farm was what was missing in her life, and she learned that lesson by spending the whole

Mt.

Slesse middle school teacher Michael Florizone teaches both social studies and drama to kids in grades 7, 8 and 9. In social studies, Florizone is now trying to engage the young people in the federal election, teaching them about democracy. Why it is so important. Why they should care. In drama, he teaches them to express themselves and to act, and part of that is about empathy. But there’s a connection. “We are so lucky to live in a democracy and many students don’t realize what we have,” he said. “Especially with the Syrian refugee crisis; we see people coming to our country who have had no connection to democracy, no choice. “In my drama class I’m also trying to get my students to put themselves in others’ shoes, to see what that feels like, to personalize it. Basically building empathy.” Florizone’s Grade 9 social studies students are getting a crash course in democracy, voting and the entire political process. And 540 students at Mt.

Mariah Hofstede said she and her family had a discussion about what extreme circumstances would allow for assisted suicide. “We were trying to figure out if that was OK or not,” she said. “My family and I had a big discussion about that.” Jensen and Wiebe said the platform of the party they created was clear that assisted suicide would only be allowed if a patient was in extreme pain, going to die soon and only “highly trained doctors” were there help. As for Colibaba, she pointed to the still somewhat mysterious and tragic case earlier this year of 19-year-old Emily Janzen who suffered from severe migraines and, along with her mother, was allegedly murdered by her father. A Facebook post attributed to her father said he did it to relieve the young woman from pain. Colibaba said she had Janzen as a music teacher. “Sometimes it can get turned around and pushed to extremes,” she said of the euthanasia issue.

Mt. Slesse Grade 9 student Mariah Hofstede talks election issues Monday. in Canada, and unless there is a major struggle or issue, it’s hard for young people to get interested. Enthusiasm doesn’t exactly exude from the roomful of 14-yearolds as politics is discussed. “This is your chance, right?” he tells the class. “Maybe it’s not that exciting. But if everyone says ‘why bother?’ then there is a huge percentage of people that aren’t voting that don’t have an influence on your future. You don’t realize, this does matter so much.” Florizone is far from the only Chilliwack teacher looking to engage students in the electoral process by inviting candidates to the class and talking politics. Longtime Central elementary teacher Christopher Lister has been a vocal supporter of voting initiatives and has held a number of mock elections over the years at Central through Student Vote. Now at Strathcona elementary, he’s at it again using the Student Vote model. What is always hard to predict is how students will “vote” once they’ve heard from candidates. In

2011, students at Central elected the Green candidate by a landslide in a mock general election that saw current Conservative Fraser-Canyon MP Mark Strahl garner only three votes. In Mr. Florizone’s class of 14-yearolds this week, the question was asked whether the voting age should be dropped from 18 to 16. There was little enthusiasm for the idea, with one student suggesting probably just vote for the “joke candidate.” Past mock elections showed a diversity in students votes. In the 2011 Federal Election, 2,443 votes were cast at 21 schools in the Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon riding through the Student Vote program. And while the actual election winner, Conservative Mark Strahl, was chosen by the students with 34.6 per cent of the vote, it was by a slim margin over second place party the Greens with 29.8 per cent. As for individual schools, out of 155 students at Mount Cheam Christian School, 134 voted Conservative. While at Chilliwack senior secondary, out of 217 students, 137 picked the Greens.

› News calibre of player and that talent back in the roster,” he says. “It’s also good to see a more mature, maybe more relaxed and a bit more focused athlete.” That maturity could be a result of Kayli’s time on the farm and the security of finding her direction in life. And both her confidence and renewed energy for her studies have translated onto the basketball court, despite her dad’s worries about time away from the sport. “She might not admit this but I think [leading] was one of her fears,” Tuchscherer says. “And one of the reasons she maybe took a year off was that she was going to be thrust into a role that maybe she wasn’t ready for.” Now one of the older and more experienced players, Kayli is settling into exactly such a role. “[Basketball] has always done good things for me, it’s always opened doors, it’s always been positive,” she says. “That year off kind of lit the fire under me again and it brought back that passion and that drive and that will.” Though basketball has been consistently good to her, Kayli can now reflect on how it was the very thing that first kept her back from the family farm all those years in training. So the game was also a main factor in Kayli’s decision to leave school and take that time back in the Columbia Valley with her roots. She was taking criminology credits at UFV in order to keep playing basketball and was starting to question if that path was taking her anywhere. After reaching a personal pinnacle in the sport, Kayli decided to step back from it all and take a year off to explore other options. The Sartori name is often heard more around this time of year. It’s B.C. craft beer month and being a pioneer in the resurgence of hop production in the Fraser Valley, Chris Sartori has paved the way for other hop farmers to hook up with the growing number of breweries for their ever-expanding list of creations. “We were kind of lucky in the sense that Driftwood took a chance with us doing that fresh hop beer, the Sartori Harvest,” Kayli says. “That really opened up our doors to a lot of other breweries.” Now there are five breweries making beer with Sartori cones, and there was a short stint with Molson in the local producer’s past. History is not lost on Kayli, who talks about the

www.chilliwacktimes.com highway around Chilliwack having been lined with hops for decades. In fact, the Sartori property salutes that time with some of their equipment coming from the older local hop farms—which produced over 1,600 acres at their peak in the 1940s. As for her own past with the crop, Kayli remembers her father’s vision and the installation of the infrastructure needed to cultivate the crop. When she was 14 she would jump into the deep holes dug for supports, and she recalls planting the rhizomes that started it all. “With us being hop producers for eight years now I kind of missed that whole big chunk. I’m kind of kicking myself for it because I wish I would have learned it all.” But her return to UFV will reinforce the recent experience she gained spending time at home. “She’s a very enthusiastic young lady and seems very engaged and anxious to learn and share her knowledge,” says Paul Gumprich, Kayli’s livestock instructor at the university. Their classes utilize the recently opened Agriculture Centre of Excellence in a very hands-on approach, something Gumprich credits as a reason his classes are full. “There’s never been a shortage of young people going to work in agriculture,” he says. “What there is is a decline in the ability of young people to own and operate farms.” Unless they’re able to take over existing farms it’s an onerous task to have that much money tied up in any agricultural enterprise, according to Gumprich. Kayli recognizes she’s lucky in this way. She can go to Europe and pursue her pro basketball dreams if the opportunity arises and the farm will still be waiting when she returns. And she sees endless opportunity in the farm, talking about her dreams of a brewery and more. “It’s just what’s realistic and what I can get done and what my dad won’t just laugh at and shake his head and be like, ‘Oh Kayli,’” she says. “He’s old-school.” Coming to Canada from Bavaria younger than Kayli is today, Chris has always loved the farm his father bought. Now Kayli has caught a glimpse of her father’s vision. “There’s no way I would take that year back,” she says. “It was something so eye-opening and I learned what I love to do.” Craft beer lovers everywhere can toast to the Sartoris’ future.

National award for local cop

Chilliwack RCMP constable known around town for his hard work taking down drivers who violate the rules of the road has received a national policing award. Const. Michael Sabulsky was honoured on Sept. 26 in Toronto with the Terry Ryan Memorial Award for Excellence in Police Service. The award was established by Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) in memory of Constable Terry Ryan who was killed in an alcohol-related collision in 2002. It is awarded annually to a police officer in Canada to recognize exemplary service in reducing the incidence of impaired driving. Sabulsky is the first police officer in British Columbia to win the award. When told of the award, he said he was shocked. “It is nice to know I am making a difference. The support of my family makes it possible for me to continue my commitment of preventing impaired driving on our roadways.” Sabulsky has been with the RCMP since 2008 and posted in Chilliwack as part of the Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment (UFVRD) since July of 2011, where he currently serves in the Traffic Services Unit. Sabulsky has been a member of Alexa’s Team for the past five years— part of a dedicated group of officers removing large numbers of impaired drivers from B.C. roadways. “Constable Sabulsky is well known in the community for his passion for

When not on the road, Sabulsky hones his expertise while developing the skills of fellow officers. He is a drug recognition expert, a roadside screening device master instructor, and a breathalyzer operator. Sabulsky maintains all roadside screening devices within the Chilliwack police office and is always available to assist other officers. “Const. Sabulsky, through his focus and tenacity, has singlehandedly made the roadways of Chilliwack, indeed B.C., a safer place for all who travel on them,” said Supt.

reaking news: based on comments posted online, the Times has learned that criminals, speeders, distracted drivers, impaired drivers and other violators of the well-known rules of the road designed to keep motorists safe, don’t like cops. In other news, cockroaches don’t like exterminators. In response to hearing that Chillwack RCMP Const. Michael Sabulsky was awarded the Terry Ryan Memorial Award for Excellence in Police Service last week, a few miscreants went off online calling him names unprintable in this newspaper. No one likes traffic tickets, but Sabulsky is not out there trying to irritate people. He is not only doing a thankless and important job enforcing seatbelt laws and other minor moving violations, but he is also an expert in tackling impaired drivers. And his job doing just that made him the first officer from B.C. to see this national recognition from Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD). Just about everyone who said a bad word about Sabulsky online has traffic violations (and some much worse) to their name. No surprise. We say something else: No one is calling Sabulsky a hero but that’s only because his preventive actions means we don’t see all the disasters that never happen.

Celebrating courage of seniors

oday is the International Day of the Older Person and National Seniors Day, a day set aside in the year to acknowledge the contributions of seniors worldwide. As B.C.’s Seniors Advocate, I am encouraging a celebration of our senior citizens in this province. It may be your dad, your mom, your grandparent, or maybe it’s you we are celebrating. At the Office of the Seniors Advocate, we focus on systemic issues that affect a large number of seniors. We tackle housing and health care, gaps in home support, income support and transportation. So much of our work looks at what’s wrong when it comes to seniors, but today I want to focus on what’s right. And what is right are the truly astounding qualities I see in seniors as I travel to every corner of the province meeting with seniors face to face. Today I urge you to celebrate the courage of seniors. The 80-year-old woman with severe arthritis who braves driving rain, but still walks several kilometres to and from the grocery story to get supplies for dinner. The father who decides to become a university student for the first time at 70. The widowed grandparent who steps

In virtually every sector of society it’s easy to see this in action. Individual seniors want to help in the diverse communities they live in. According to StatsCan, Canadians 65 and over, volunteer on average 220 hours per year, higher than any age group. They do it not for their resumés or for graduation requirements, they do it for the most part, because they get a deep satisfaction from helping others. One look at the composition of our service groups tells us this kind of giving is being lost as time goes on. What I am also reflecting on today is the profound commitment and tenacity I see in many of the seniors I meet. I think of the wife who travelled hours each day by bus to be with her husband at mealtimes. I remember the letter I received from an 83-year-old

More taxes on one percenters kills the geese and her golden eggs Editor: The policy proposal being suggested by Justin Trudeau to increase the income tax paid by the top one per cent of income earners must have been borrowed from Robin Hood—steal from the rich and give to the poor. As it happens this is what virtually all governments around the world have been doing for years—including Canada. Approximately half of our current federal government revenues consist of income tax payments amounting to $135 billion. The top one per cent currently pay about 18 per cent of all income tax paid. The top 10 per cent of income earners pay about 55 per cent of these taxes but the bottom 50 per cent pay only four per cent. I would say the top earners are paying a rather substantial share. If you look at the top rate of income tax

Please remember, brevity is the soul of wit. charged in other areas of the world Canada is roughly in the middle at a combined federal and provincial income tax rate of 45.7 per cent. The United States has an average rate of about 47.8 per cent. The Netherlands are at about 52 per cent and an average for all of Western Europe is 45.7 per cent, the same as Canada. Switzerland brags about its 20 per cent tax rate. It may be feasible to raise the top rate by a point or two but a lot of people at these high income levels tend to have some flexibility as to where they call home

and pay taxes. The Robin Hood approach may be attractive but Trudeau should be careful not to kill the goose laying the golden eggs. Jack Carradice Chilliwack

MP Strahl is a party lap dog Editor: I have lived in Chilliwack for the last 41 years and have always been a concerned citizen, taking great interest in the well-being of our community. During the past five years, our MP Mark

Strahl has periodically sent out reports on political issues. These reports only refer to actions already taken by government and ask whether I support such actions or not. Since the actions have already been passed in the House, how I as an elector feel seems a redundant exercise. I have never seen notice of a community meeting held by Mr. Strahl to solicit public opinion on matters relating directly to Chilliwack or on matters of community concern. He does not reach out to explore ways he or the government can serve our community and its citizens better, nor is he readily available to address individual or group concerns. In the instance where he was requested by veterans in our community to meet with them about their concerns, he chose not to, even though they had given him ample notice of a suitable time for

such a meeting. When he was challenged on his absence, he arranged an alternate meeting and instead of attending himself, sent an underling to stand in for him. His non-attendance at a recent all-candidates meeting is indicative of his lack of regard for the electors of this community. Being with Stephen Harper, his boss, in Maple Ridge trumped his duty to the citizens of Chilliwack-Hope. Mr. Strahl is seeking re-election. However, as a voter I am looking for a representative who is much more involved in the community and who interacts with its citizens. I am not interested in a representative who is a political professional who spouts only party propaganda. If I had one question to ask those who are seeking my vote it would be: “What is your active involvement in the community currently, and what will it be if you

are elected to represent Chilliwack-Hope?” We have a right to make our needs for the community known, and to expect our representative to convey the feelings of the citizens of Chilliwack-Hope to the government. As things currently stand, the Conservative government makes decisions, hides them from proper scrutiny in inclusive omnibus bills and expects that the electorate will just accept such tactics. Not good enough! Jack Tearne Chilliwack

› Faith Today

An age of many gods, a range of spiritualities BY JOHN SOVEREIGN St. Thomas Anglican Church

e live in an age of many gods, and of many different spiritualities. This should not surprise us, our Creator has always loved diversity. Diversity is everywhere, but it is not all good. As embodied spiritual beings, it should not surprise that people feel spiritual. But being spiritual does not necessarily mean we are automatically connected to our Creator. Saying we are religious doesn’t necessarily mean God knows who we are. And yet in millions of lives God communes with human hearts. Human beings, of all Creation, have the power to sustain themselves in the most hostile of environments, even outer space, even deepest ocean. Some people think that when the Earth has grown old like a garment, they will find some kind of intergalactic ark to carry them away to the stars. That ark is with us now, lying in safe harbour, but you have to hear our Creator’s voice to enter. Just as in Noah’s day, God must shut you in. It is scary to think that apart from shortage or disease, the only natural enemy of a human being, the only

enemy capable of a significant violent slaughter, is another human being. We prey on each other all the time. As we look at the unfolding refugee crisis in the Mediterranean, for example, we see an ancient human story of murder and violence. Humans are the apex predator, the night terror, the angel of death. It is no wonder that many scriptures, from many religious faiths, recognize evil personified also inhabiting the spiritual realm. That horrible violence in the Middle East has not come out of a vacuum. The west, as much as anyone, has been inserting violence and imposing its own will over Middle Eastern affairs for many decades. This interference by others includes the creation of the state of Israel, right or wrong, after the Second World War. Nor is violence limited geographically. Even here, where we live, there is a history of violence, not only gang violence but also the kind of violence that happens insidiously. The kind of violence that sees a land, then coldly takes it from its inhabitants, despite the rule of British law. I remember being told “we took it because they weren’t using it.” End time prophecies have my attention. In particular the idea that the Earth will wear out like a garment, and

that war and death will be everywhere. There is a passage that talks about people moving to and fro across the earth. There are huge migrations of people moving even this very moment, refugees. (Daniel 12:4) If drought continues, or severe seismic activity, it will be Californians and British Columbians. Do you sense something is changing? Many people have looked for and predicted the second coming of Jesus, including many who were sure he would come during the Second World War. Dates are continually being set. But never has the Earth itself been worn out. Never has a third of marine life been lost. Never has the weather played such havoc. Never have we realized such volcanic and seismic activity, never have we realized the threat to the Pacific Northwest of a major earthquake and tidal wave. Never have there been so many wars and rumours of wars as in the past century. The nations have again been summoned to a holy war in Syria, and to a desert town called Dabiq at where Islamic prophecy claims there will be a final showdown between Muslims and Christians. (Martin Chulov, The Guardian, 2015/09/17.) Last Monday (for Anglicans) was Holy Cross Day. A few months ago,

world will be brought about by human rejection of God’s ways and human destruction of God’s creation. Jesus had become well known in Galilee. He asked his disciples, “”Who do people say that I am?” And they answered, “John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.” (Mark 8:28) “Who do you say that I am?” he asked. They did not look to the past for some long a dead prophet. “You are the Christ,” Peter said. In another passage, not Mark but Matthew (Matthew 16:17), Jesus remarked “flesh and blood has not revealed this to you Peter, but my Father in heaven.” Scripture is pretty clear. If you get caught up in this world and its hungers, you will miss the real point of life. If you get caught up in knowing and trusting the Lord, and serving him, you may be challenged and hurt, but loved and valued. Your real worth will be measured in how you bear the image of Jesus in your own little corner of the world. Jesus sums it up this way, “Now when these things begin to take place, stand up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” (Luke 21:28) ◗ John Sovereign is a reverend with St. Thomas Anglican Church.

SERVICE TIMES

Let us go .. d o w n to TE T H E P OT

during Easter, the cross of Jesus signified a new spring for humanity. Jesus set us free from sin, dying rather than turning on we his tormentors. His death atoned for us, his resurrection brought hope and a green future. If the world had understood God’s intention, it would have turned its face toward salvation. Instead of unbridled greed, the world would have given itself to the real things peace, love, compassion, joy and the service of God. Many have never understood the cross as a way of obedience and sacrifice, only as a way of freedom from everything. Jesus rising from the dead spells freedom and a future. The cross spells sacrifice. It is the fall, September. In my tradition, we again reflect on the cross of Jesus, not because it is spring, and not because the resurrection of Jesus from the dead has brought us good news, even though it does. September is harvest time. The reaper has come, the fields are being torn up and their bounty gathered in. That is why we return to the cross in September. Such a day of harvest haunts the pages of scripture. In the scriptures we are surely headed for extinction, along with every other species of life. According to scripture, the destruction of the

the 2012 building code change that requires all new home construction to have smoke detectors installed in and outside of all sleeping quarters as well as on every level.

lic continues with this year’s Fire Prevention Week which once again focuses on family installation, testing and maintenance of home smoke alarms. Since Axelson has started tracking numbers in 2009, the Chilliwack Fire Department has installed 152 smoke alarms as part of their Home Smoke Alarm Program. If there’s a missing or non-functional smoke detector encountered by the fire department when visiting a residence, they will replace it. “One of the biggest statistics in Chilliwack is that there may be smoke detectors in your homes, but they don’t have batteries in them or they’ve been decommissioned, pulled off the wall or taken down,” Axelson says. “Our area of big concern is residential homes—that is still where our fires are.” In 2014, 49 of the 64 Chilliwack structure fires (77 per cent) were in homes. This year’s Fire Prevention Week theme, “Hear the beep where you sleep” is inspired by

ire Prevention Week is October 4 to 10, 2015 and this year’s key fire safety message is “Hear the beep where you sleep.” Working smoke alarms should be installed in every bedroom, outside every sleeping area and on every level of your home. Working smoke alarms are a key part of your home escape plan and can save lives by giving you and your family time to safely escape. The Chilliwack Fire Department encourages everyone to install smoke alarms in their sleeping rooms, test your smoke alarms monthly and replace smoke alarms 10 years of age or older. Approximately 80 per cent of the fires that occur in Chilliwack are in the home so it is very important that you take responsibility for your own fire safety. Our fire prevention programs are an important aspect of the Chilliwack Fire Department. Annually, we educate over 5,500 school children, employees, seniors and service groups. We also proudly sponsor the “Home Smoke Alarm Program”

› Fire Prevention Week { FIRE, from page A13 } Even a three-year-old can test the smoke detector everyone to hear their alarms, she added. Our stuff and the buildings we live in is more flammable than ever, burning hotter and faster than it did decades ago, according to the fire safety educator. “We used to have 15 minutes to

get out of a house,” Axelson said. “You have less than three now.” And those synthetics found in more furniture and other home components emit a more toxic smoke. So to combat those new, more

dangerous factors Axelson is pushing more family involvement in fire safety. “Parents think it’s all their responsibility,” she said. “No. That three-year-old little child could go and test the smoke detector.”

Axelson’s children made the entire fire safety plan in their house years ago, drawing it up, maintaining it and educating their friends who visited for sleepovers. And her son, who was 12 at the time subjected his guests to a

drill one night—something those friends don’t let her forget 14 years later. “Those are things that make fire safety and home safety easy,” Axelson said. “Get the family involved.” Not just because it makes fire safety more fun but, as she puts it, “kids are really good at motivating parents.” 7201435

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

hilliwack is a farming community, part of the breadbasket of the province, but much of what is produced is shipped out as part of the industrial agriculture system. In contrast to that important part of the economy, Food Matters Chilliwack is a citizen-led network focused on cultivating a local and sustainable food system for all citizens. They reduce food waste and increase gardening and cooking skills. And they need a few good men and women. Food Matters Chilliwack runs a gleaning program where particpants head out to pick fruit from willing donors, food that would have otherwise gone to waste. The produce is then divided three ways: one-third for the pickers, one-third for the land owner and onethird goes to charity. In 2014, Food Matters gleaned and donated 2,840 pounds of fruit to local community organizations. Food Matters has donated thousands and thou-

sands of pounds of fresh fruit and vegetables to the less fortunate over the years. Another way is through the Plant-A-Row, Grow-ARow (PARGAR) program where participants with a garden engage in the age-old tradition of sharing the harvest. In 2014, PARGAR donated 962 pounds of food to Ruth and Naomi’s Mission. Then there are the workshops and the garden club and the camaraderie that comes from being with like-minded food folks. And while there are many Food Matters Chilliwack members, three of the organization’s five board members are stepping down for career reasons and they need to be replaced. Food Matters Chilliwack is looking for new board members and help in all kinds of ways: gleaning pickers and gleaning team leaders; help with co-ordinating fundraising events; grant writing; and assisting with our workshops. Whatever time you have to spare, or skills you have to share, Food Matters is happy to hear from you at foodmatterschilliwack@gmail.com. ◗ For more info, visit www.foodmatterschilliwack.com

Province focus on organics W

ith newly proclaimed B.C. Organic Week just behind us (Sept. 19 to 27), producers of certified organic food in B.C. await the result of recent consultations with the provincial government that will hopefully strengthen and promote the sector. Regulation of the term “organic” has been of particular concern to members of the Certified Organic Associations of B.C. (COABC), and that should emerge from the provincial Ministry of Agriculture after consultations that took place from January to March of this year. The meetings with B.C. organic sector stakeholders looked at how to best strengthen the awareness and reputation of B.C.’s organi-

cally produced agri-foods, locally, across Canada, and around the globe. In addition to regulating the term “organic,” the consultations looked at developing transitional strategies that support farmers to become certified, and supporting the creation of a brand to market B.C. organic foods. Organic Week promotes organic practices by raising the profile of the BC Certified Organic checkmark and informing consumers about the wide range of organic products available throughout British Columbia. “From producers to consumers, B.C. is a leader in organics and National Organic Week is a great way to celebrate the achievements

of the whole sector,” COABC co-president Carmen Wakeling said in a Ministry of Agriculture press release. “COABC is pleased to join the government in recognizing the contributions of the B.C. organic community.” “Organics Week is a great opportunity to support local growers and food producers, with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in season, as well as the dairy, meats and value-added products available year round,” Minister of Agriculture Norm Letnick said. “This week is also going to be special for the sector, as the B.C. government prepares to announce new measures to support the sector’s growth here at home and internationally.”

Maximize fall and winter energy savings A

s temperatures decrease during the fall and winter months, energy usage and costs tend to climb. These five energy-saving tips for your home will ensure the comfort of your family and your wallet. 1. Adjust your thermostat. Lower the heat on your thermostat while you are away from home and before you go to bed. Better yet, invest in a programmable thermostat so you don’t have to give it a second thought. 2. Seal gaps around windows and doors. Cracks and gaps around windows and doors can let cold drafts into your home. Weather-stripping or caulking will seal these problem areas and keep your home warmer, with-

out having to turn up the heat. 3. Insulate well to protect your home from the cold. Add insulation to your basement walls, headers or attic to make a noticeable difference in the temperature of your home and its energy consumption. A mineral wool product specifically designed for thermal performance, such as Roxul Comfortbatt, is ideal. This type of batt insulation will also provide protection from fire, moisture and unwanted noise. Adding insulation is one of the simplest and most-cost effective ways to increase home energy efficiency. 4. Make use of natural sources of heat. Pull back your curtains to let natural light in. The sun can help to warm a room

Earth-friendly tips for autumn

utumn is here and with the change of seasons comes the fall to-do list before the arrival of winter. Many outdoor jobs are best completed before temperatures drop, while others can be tackled indoors to help save energy and prepare for increased time spent inside the home.

Outdoor cleanup Autumn means leaves and cleaning up leaves can be a time-consuming task, but it’s necessary to promote the health of lawns. Grass that is completely matted down with leaves can become starved for light and moisture, and lawns may even rot when forced to spend winter beneath fallen leaves. One eco-friendly timesaver is to shred leaves with a mower and leave them as topdressing for the lawn. As long as the grass blades can be seen within the leaves, the lawn should be fine. Shredded leaves will decompose and add nutrients and organic matter to the soil. Leaves also can be used in annual flower and vegetable gardens to improve the soil. Mulch made from shredded leaves can be placed on the soil around trees and shrubs. This helps to reduce weed problems and protects

root systems from harsh temperature fluctuations.

Clothing donations It’s time to pack away summer clothing and once again fill closets and drawers with sweaters and jeans. Before packing away your summer wardrobe, conduct an inventory to determine if there are any items you no longer use. Donate or use as rags.

Home repairs Check the roof for any missing shingles. In addition, look for spots where animals or insects may be able to gain entry into your home. Seal these areas and repair leaks. This will make your home more efficient later on. Remove window air conditioners for the winter. If they can’t be removed, seal them with caulking or tape and cover them with an airtight, insulated jacket. If you have forced-air systems, move furniture away from the vents so that air can flow better around the home. Check weatherstripping and make necessary adjustments. Installing additional insulation also can help reduce energy consumption. A few tips can help homeowners prepare for autumn in eco-friendly ways.

with its rays on a bright fall or winter day. If there are any large windows in your home that don’t receive much sunlight, keep the curtains closed to form a barrier from the cold. 5. Use ceiling fans to your advantage. In the winter, set the fan to rotate clockwise. The blades will pull the air up

and around, redirecting warm air that rises back down into the living space. The effect can help you lower your thermostat by two degrees in the winter. While cutting back on energy may seem more challenging as the weather gets colder, it doesn’t have to be. There are many no- or low-cost methods to

conserve energy that can provide consistent savings over time. ◗ Scott McGillivray is the award-winning TV host of the hit series Income Property on HGTV Canada, a full-time real estate investor, contractor, author, and educator. Follow him on Twitter @ smcgillivray.

Any treasures in your attic?

or the average person, it can be difficult to know if that old piece of furniture stated in the attic is treasure or junk. Peter Blundell from Guardian Estates Appraisals is an expert on the matter and he lends his experience to show what treasures have been hiding in attics and basements for years when he returns to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre for Antiques in the Attic. As a professional

antiques appraiser, Blundell offers his skills and knowledge to patrons who wish to find out what those old items are really worth. He evaluates items from ornaments and artwork, to pottery, collectibles, and even furniture.

hey’re sassy, they’re side-splitting, and they’re back with an all-new night of comedy. Ellie Harvey, Denise Jones, Christine Lippa and Jamie Chrest—whom patrons to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre might remember from Leave it to Cleavage—will be returning to that venue on Oct. 9 with their brand-new show, Sex and the Suburbs. For an exposé of the hidden secrets of suburban bliss, delivered with wit and hijinks, take a peek behind the curtains with the gals of Sex and the Suburbs. Shedding their Leave it to Cleavage satin party dresses and retro ‘50s wigs, with Sex and the Suburbs Ellie, Denise, Christine and Jamie will take you on a journey through a hidden world of suburban debauchery, baring all (including their own personalities), along the way. “The gals of Leave it to Cleavage love doing our ‘50s housewife characters,” says the show’s co-creator Diana Francis. “But sometimes a gal has got to take off the party dress and just be herself. “We decided for this round of touring, we would bring audiences our same lady sass, but present it sans character to allow ourselves to play different characters in our improv scenes. “Our favourite shows are those that have that ‘girls-night-out’ vibe, so creating a new show with this theme seemed right up our alley.”

Burns up the road

An eclectic show by a ‘relentlessly’ touring singer from Ontario

7200236

n one of his songs, Sean Burns sings, “If you need me, I’ll be in Wisconsin.” But the 29-year-old Ontario-based singer/songwriter is just as likely to be found in Calgary or Ottawa. Touring relentlessly from one end of Canada to the other, Burns taps into the bittersweet spirit of the road and then spins it his way with a blend of electric and acoustic guitars and a soulful harmonica. The newly released Cold Beans and Broken Eggs will resonate with fans of Canadiana, Americana, folk, country and blues alike. The songs, which hint at such influences as Steve Earle and Johnny Cash, capture the grittiness of the road in the stark, down-to-earth style of an authentic storyteller who also knows how to rock. Like his earlier releases, A Glimpse Through Storyboards & Situations (2010) and The Other Side of 25 (2008), Burns’ third album is an independent release full of stories of “Rock N’ Roll Nights and Honky Tonk Days” where “last night’s faith is Sunday morning’s breakdown.” As the title suggests, Cold Beans and Broken Eggs evokes images of the itinerant life, with songs not just about musicians but also truckers and cowboys, cab drivers and ball players. After two successful tours in the United States and criss-crossing Western Canada together since last fall, the Sean Burns Duo (featuring Kristopher Ulrich) is thrilled to take their 2015 released EP Rocket Ships and Lemon Trees out for another spin. This is Burns’ first visit back to British Columbia since 2013, and

October 5th is a day to celebrate teachers and the central role they play in guiding children, youth and adults. On behalf of the Chilliwack Board of Education, join us in applauding Chilliwack teachers and their colleagues around the world!

Sean Burns plays Bozzini’s Oct. 5. will mark the Duo’s first shows west of Alberta. “Try not to miss this show,” says Bozzini’s owner Emmanuel Asprakis. “It’ll be Sean’s third visit to Bozzini’s and frankly it’s been too long. He’s a fabulous entertainer, hilarious storyteller, and writes the sweetest, catchiest songs. I saw him once at another venue where he was mixing covers with his originals and when he asked, ‘What would like to hear next?’ The answer was simple, ‘A Sean Burns song.’ Expect over two hours of great music.” Ulrich, a fellow Winnipegger will be featured on electric and acoustic lead guitar and dobro, as well as showcasing some of his own

original material from his EP Moonshine. Chilliwack’s Jana Seale is the guest opening act for the show. Seale’s evocative delivery returns to the roots of the solo performer, reminiscent of Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez and the coffeehouses of times gone by. Inspired by open tuning troubadour Nanci Griffith, and Eva Cassidy’s simply elegant guitar arrangements, Seale performs with warm, understated finger-style guitar. ◗ The Sean Burns Duo with special guest Jana Seale is at Bozzini’s Oct. 5 at 7:30 p.m., doors open at 6 p.m. Tickets are $17.50 at Bozzini’s or call 604-792-0744 to reserve.

Chiefs in action big time on and off the ice in October

t is time to grab your jiffy marker and a calendar and put a star on Oct. 3, Oct. 10 and Oct. 21. Those are the dates that Langley, Penticton and Wenatchee, the Chiefs next three opponents at Prospera Centre, roll into town. They all pose a huge challenge for the home team. The Rivermen and Chiefs rivalry is renewed this weekend with a home and home set beginning at the Langley Events Centre on Friday, culminating with the return match at Prospera Saturday night at 7 p.m. Langley is a perennial BCHL contender and this season is no different. Goaltender Bo Didur has had an impressive start to the season boasting a 2-0 record, 1.49 goals against average and .935 save percentage.

The Book Man Read with the Chiefs features the players attending elementary schools and reading to the students, signing autographs and playing floor hockey. Each student also receives two tickets for an upcoming home game. The Chilliwack Ford 7th man calendar is already full until the end of October.

We will have more on that match up next week but, you can rest assured, the Chiefs will be jacked up for that one, after the Vees scraped out a 2-1 overtime win at the Bauer BCHL Showcase last weekend. Speaking of the Bauer BCHL Showcase, from all reports, the new four- day format was a positive change from the previous three days. Well over 120 scouts, from the NHL and College Hockey, attended the fourth annual affair. The Wenatchee Wild will play their first regular season game vs the Chiefs on Wednesday Oct. 21.
