Senior afraid to bake and cook after her monthly hydro bill doubles and nobody can tell her why

ail Cross loves to make Christmas goodies but gave up her holiday baking this past season in an attempt to cut down on her electricity usage. “I like to bake and cook but I can’t afford to,” the 74-year-old told the Times in her downtown Chilliwack apartment. You see, Cross’s last BC Hydro bill was $255.10 for the two months ending Dec. 24. The year before, that billing period was $136.10. “And nothing has changed,” her

daughter Debbie Halladay said. Worrying Cross further is that her estimated bill based on usage so far in this billing period is $300. “I can’t afford $300 every month for hydro,” the diminutive if cheerful senior said. If she had been doing something different, or the weather was unusual or everyone in the apartment building’s bill also increased sharply, that might make sense, but Cross doesn’t understand why her bill nearly doubled yet others stayed the same. Halladay lives in the same building and her bill for that period was $87. { See HYDRO BILL, page A4 } Paul J. Henderson/TIMES

onspicuous in their absence, volleys of gunfire no longer ring out near the Vedder Bridge as regular weekday Rotary Trail users and University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) staff and students have noticed. It was April 2014 when those behind the RCMP’s Pacific Regional Training Centre (PRTC) announced $19 million in federal dollars to build the new indoor firing range to replace the open-air range, long the bane of UFV students and faculty, Vedder Crossing residential neighbours and Rotary Trail users. When first designed, the new range was to be used to train and re-certify RCMP officers as well as agents with the Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA), and was going to be a 4,000-square-metre building with two 16-lane, 50-metre ranges with advanced sound abatement technology. The structure was built by Chilliwack firm Preview Builders, and while no formal announcement was made, the RCMP quietly stopped using the outdoor range in recent weeks, according to UFV students and staff. (Despite requests to the RCMP to comment on the new facility and exactly when they moved in, the agency declined to respond.)

Door-to-door gas marketers cause confusion BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

he knock on the door comes, confusion ensues. According to many who have had visits, when the private natural gas marketers arrive, they want to see your gas bill. They mention FortisBC over and over, and some say they imply they are from FortisBC. “I quickly saw that I wasn’t the only one to fall for this. Other people have experienced the same misleading sales information to signing up for this service.” That was a comment in one of dozens of complaints against Access Gas Services to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) in recent years. Access Gas marketers have been going door to door in Chilliwack in recent days signing up homeowners to fixed price agreements, supposedly protecting ratepayers from fluctuating natural gas prices. What some are finding, instead, is just much higher rates. “Access Gas managed to rope me into a five-month contract without discussing penalty fees or the actual price of their product,” another BBB complainant reported. One Chilliwack resident, a professional who asked not to be named, said two young men knocked on the door

and implied they were with FortisBC or with the energy regulator. They asked to see her bill, which got her alarm bells ringing. Luckily, she signed nothing, the two then left leaving an Access Gas Services flyer behind. “Gas marketers are required to follow a code of conduct which is reviewed regularly and set by the BC Utilities Commission,” BC Public Interest Advocacy Centre (BCPIAC) executive director Tannis Braithwaite told the Times. “Mechanisms have been built into the code of conduct to attempt to guard against potential customers feeling pressured into buying gas from a marketer.” A number of other Chilliwack residents complained about similar incidents and misleading tactics on a local social media page. “There is a bunch, canvassing areas right now to have customers switch from [FortisBC] to them and they start by asking to see your bill or your furnace etc.,” said one commenter. “They are very shady in how they explain themselves and you really have to press before they will say who they represent.” If you do press, what they should tell you is that Access Gas Services is one of a handful of licensed natural gas marketers allowed to sell directly to low-volume customers. This is the Customer Choice program, which emerged out

“Gas marketers are required to be transparent and up front about what they are selling and who they are representing.” - Michael Allison, Fortis BC

of the BC Liberal government’s 2002 energy policy. This became available to commercial customers on Nov. 1, 2004, and to residential customers in the Lower Mainland on Nov. 1, 2007. Effective Jan. 1, 2015, the program is now on Vancouver Island and in Whistler. What does not seem to be explained properly at the door, is that the companies are not in competition with FortisBC nor are they directly affiliated with FortisBC, they are third party marketers. The gas is still delivered by FortisBC. Spokesperson Michael Allison explains that FortisBC is the neutral party in all of this, not promoting or discouraging the supposed “choice” offered by private marketers. Allison gives the analogy of variable rate or fixed rate mortgages to explain how it works. What the marketers offer is fixed prices over certain periods of time. With FortisBC, the rate you pays goes up and down with the market. The problem for customers, not explained by the door-to-door marketers, is that the lowest rates charged by

companies like Access far exceed actual natural gas prices. As of Jan. 1, 2015, the FortisBC rate was $2.48 per gigajoule (Gj). A year later, as of Jan. 1, 2016, the rate is $1.719/ Gj. The least expensive rate offered by Access is a one-year deal at 3.89/ Gj, more than two times higher than FortisBC. And it goes up from there to 5.89/Gj if you lock into a three- or fiveyear “GREEN” residential price plan. Access Gas vice-president Tom Dixon told the Times via email that these prices can be lowered mid-contract if the five-year natural gas price declines, but he says the point of “any forward commodity contract” is “rate premium for price certainty.” In re s p o n s e t o s o m e o f t h e complaints from recipients of door-knocking, Dixon said they do not ask to look at bills unless a consumer has expressed interest in the Customer Choice program. He added that if a customer doesn’t know he or she are under contract with another supplier, they can look at their bill

or call FortisBC directly. As for the misrepresentation at the door, Dixon denies it and says linking his company to FortisBC is essential because of the business model. “The relationship between FortisBC and natural gas marketers makes it virtually impossible to discuss the Customer Choice program without mentioning FortisBC during a sales presentation,” he said, adding that there are measures in place such as third-party verification calls and the ability for customers to back out within 10 days. “Gas marketers are required to be transparent and up front about what they are selling and who they are representing,” Allison with FortisBC said. “And if someone does have questions or does believe they have been misled, they need to take a look at the contract, read through it, ask questions, get clear on who exactly is at their door and then they should visit www.fortisbc.com/choice and take a look at the information on there before they make a decision.” Dixon insists his company is a good option for consumers. “Given recent events in North American energy markets, Access Gas is offering a valuable service by giving consumers the ability to entirely eliminate natural gas price volatility.”

{ HYDRO BILL, from page A1 } There was one other anomalous bill in the Edward Street building, that of Ron Papineau whose was $300. But building manager Marilyn Stachera just doesn’t get it. “There’s no rhyme or reason,” she said. With help from Halladay and Stachera, Cross tried to get to the bottom of the bill. The landlord researched how to, and then conducted, a breaker test. They hired an electrician who spent more than an hour in the small one-bedroom apartment and found nothing out of the ordinary. Then someone from BC Hydro came out and simply told them that nothing was wrong. “She said ‘she consumes it, she pays it,’” Halladay said. Cross is far from alone among those getting hydro bills that seem confusing at best when there is little change in rates and no change in behaviour. “My most recent bill went from like 50/60 bucks every two months to 109!” one person wrote on a local Facebook page. “There’s actually less people living in my apartment now. . . . It’s confusing.” “My recent bill went from $150 to $300,” said someone else. “Nothing has changed in my house.” “So what’s going on?” said another. “I received $600, highest bill I’ve ever had and I mainly work in Alberta months at a time.” “My bill was $940 for last two months,” said yet another. “Calling hydro tomorrow to give an earful.” As for Cross, she’s been told her next step is to bring someone in for $92 to change the smart meter. “My mom doesn’t have $92 to find out they are wrong,” Halladay said. As for that $255 bill, Cross paid it using some emergency money the pensioner put aside, because she was scared BC Hydro would shut the lights off. “I’ve watched her count pennies

increased government dollars. This year School District 33 saw enrolment up 381 full-time equivalents (FTEs) for Kindergarten to Grade 12, and down 83 FTEs for adult education. The 298 net FTE increase mirrors increases across the region. The Abbotsford school district saw an enrolment increase of 232 FTEs and, across B.C., enrolment is up 6,700, the first increase since 1997/98. The increases have been so dramatic, that the province depleted its holdback fund set aside to cover such situations, forcing it to kick in millions more in operating grants.

It also means that the $19 million in holdback funding the province had intended to be used for the implementation of the Next Generation Network has disappeared. The Next Generation Network is the program mandated by the province aimed at giving schools quicker and more secure internet. Now with the funding drained, school district 33 has to pay an estimated $325,000 this year and $580,000 next year to cover the costs of upgrading computers, according to secretary-treasurer Gerry Slykhuis.

Chase so reckless cops called it off BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

Chilliwack man with a long criminal history was sentenced to 21 months in jail this week after a dangerous driving incident that saw as many as 10 motorists driven off the road during a police chase so reckless that Mounties called it off. But prolific offender Blake Dunstall will serve no more time in custody since he’s already spent 14 months prior to his sentencing in Chilliwack provincial court Monday. The 21-month sentence is the result of one-and-a-halftime credit for time already served. Judge Don Gardner also handed Dunstall one year of probation and a threeyear driving prohibition. Dunstall pleaded guilty to a number of the 16 charges he faced after stolen ATVs, travel trailers, vehicles and a motorcycle were found on a property near Cultus Lake in 2014. He was arrested Nov. 3 that year, three days after RCMP identified a Ford Ranger pulling a trailer swerving into oncoming lanes while driving

southbound on Eagle Landing Parkway early on Oct. 31, 2014. The vehicle then went the wrong way around the Evans Road roundabout, and a brief pursuit ended when the Mounties “wisely called off the pursuit,” as Gardner put Blake Dunstall day wrapped up Dunstall’s it.

Aevitas seeks MR site BY NEIL CORBETT Maple Ridge News

he company that wanted to recycle and handle hazardous waste near the Fraser River in Chilliwack is now looking to set up shop in Maple Ridge. Aevitas has nine locations across the country, including one in Richmond, and on Monday a company spokesman explained what operations it proposes for an industrial site at 14160-256th St. in Maple Ridge. At the proposed new location, Aevitas would process oil-filled and drained electrical equipment, and degassify and filter new and used transformer oil. It would also handle waste oils, paints, batteries, spent lamps, spent aerosols, cleaning solutions and fire extinguishers. Aevitas was in the headlines in 2015 for a proposed site in Chilliwack that was opposed by the environmental group Watershed Watch and by the Sto:lo Tribal Council. The site was in the Fraser River flood plain, and opponents worried the site could flood in a high water event. The company withdrew its proposal in Chilliwack last spring. The Chilliwack site was also to handle PCB waste, a known car-

cinogen, and other hazardous materials – which are not proposed at the Maple Ridge site. Aevitas spokesman Joel Allman said the site in Maple Ridge is strategically located to service customers in the Lower Mainland. It will not be handling PCBs. “It’s fairly innocuous material that you find in your garage in your mechanic’s workplace, in industrial settings for maintenance applications,” said Allman. “It has to be dealt with. We want to come in and deal with it properly.” Allman said his company’s competitors incinerate products that Aevitas is recycling. Maple Ridge councillors wanted assurance that the risk to the environment is acceptable, with Coun. Gordy Robson asking for a comprehensive risk assessment before considering the site. Coun. Bob Masse asked about the future of the land where the company would be located. “When you leave a site, are they deemed contaminated sites?” asked Masse. Allman responded that the company will have a site-closure plan with a financial bond, so it must put up enough resources to remediate the site if necessary.

Masse also asked about site security, which would include a fenced perimeter with warning signs, surveillance cameras, and 24-hour security monitoring. Mayor Nicole Read said councillors will ultimately decide the level of risk they are comfortable tolerating in considering the proposal, but she asked Allman for his perspective. “I’m curious, from you, what you see as our risk as a community with your facility located in our midst,” she asked. He answered that the company must follow Ministry of Environment requirements, and the property meets or exceeds their sighting requirements. All trucks transporting materials will have secondary containment, so the likelihood of a situation happening during transport is very low, he said. The company is dealing with human and mechanical factors so there can be failures, but they have 20 years experience in the business, and have proper control measures and staff training in place to mitigate risks. Coun. Craig Speirs said he will want to see how the proposed facility and equipment will respond to a major earthquake. “We’ll get one sooner or later, and we had one a couple weeks ago,” said Speirs.

The City of Chilliwack will also be consulted about future recreation needs for the Canada Education Park (CEP) area and the nearby community. What is planned is uncertain,

but Tuckwood said there is no university budget at this point to construct anything on the site, rather a plan to reconfigure what is already there. But he and UFV are committed to ensuring whatever they do, it is consistent with municipal plans and whatever is happening at CEP. “We don’t want to do something in isolation,” Tuckwood said. “We really want an open dialogue with what they see with the trail and other things over the next while, making sure if we are moving forward that it is actually complementary and help what people want to do down there.”

Legal limbo on marijuana laws

◗ Publisher

hough it was an election promise, Justin Trudeau’s Liberals aren’t going to be able to legalize marijuana overnight. In fact, the legalization of pot might take longer than the four years they are guaranteed before the next federal election in Oct. 2019. Undoubtedly, the federal government would like to get started on this promise, since it’s worth millions of tax dollars every year. But when you consider what they already have on their plate, what with ISIS, Syrian refugees, assisted dying and, oh yes, the economy, it’s understandable that legalizing pot might not be the top item on the Liberals to-do list. Still, the promise was made, and with pot already legalized in Washington and Colorado, there is a certain expectation that it is a promise they will follow through on. That leaves our police and justice system in a bit of a legal limbo. All the existing prohibitions are still in force, but police have had a hard enough time enforcing those and getting punitive judgments without the concept of legalization hanging over their heads, in addition to the limited legalization of medicinal marijuana. Maybe we need to set out a timeline of how this is going to happen and set some preliminary regulations for licensing and regulation of sales.

More unfair cancer for the Fox family I

was eight years old in July, 1980 when Terry Fox ran in his characteristic gait along Lakeshore Road in my hometown of Oakville, Ontario. I was too young to understand the significance of what he was doing, what it might incite, what historical relevance was there with Terry and his goal. My then-15-year-old sister tells me she showed up to watch Terry run and met his then 17-year-old brother, Darrell. And the circle is complete, as I moved to Chilliwack 10 years ago, established a life here with a family and have met Darrell several times, and he lives just a few blocks away from me. There can be a cult of personality with some historical figures, cultural icons, people we remember. But with the Fox family it was simple and Terry’s personal mission only seems common, looking backwards, because so many have copied it, patterned after it. Every fundraising for a good cause is worthy, it’s just that every effort, every cross-country paddle, skate, slide, wheel, run, walk, glide can only ever be a pale comparison to Terry and his effort with 1970s technology, double-stepping on one leg as he ran 26 kilometres every day as sores

PAUL J. HENDERSON @peejayaitch formed, his knee became inflamed, he had shin splints, ubiquitous ankle pain, even cysts on his stump. It was a month and a half after he ran through Oakville that, short of breath, he went to hospital and ran no more. On Sept 1, 1980, Terry Fox announced that cancer had returned and spread to his lungs. He died on June 28, 1981 at age 22. This week, on Jan. 26, the family announced that Terry’s father Rolland was diagnosed with lung cancer. Rolly, who is well-known in Chilliwack since the Terry Fox Foundation is located here, turns 81 in March. The city mourned in 2011 as the charismatic face of the foundation, Betty Fox, passed away, and Rolly reluctantly took over the reins. “This is my debut,” Rolly told Chilliwack city council on Sept. 6, 2011. “My first time speaking. I’ve got big shoes to fill. Betty used to say, whenever she was

doing anything, that if she was doing anything wrong, Terry’s leg would trip her up. If I do anything wrong I’ve got two people looking down on me.” Sadly and seemingly unfairly, cancer has struck the Fox family once again. The foundation issued a statement: “It is with heavy hearts that we wish to share with Terry Foxers from coast to coast and around the world that our Dad and Grandfather, Rolland (Rolly) Fox, has recently been diagnosed with lung cancer. He remains in very good spirits, confirmed by the dated and overused humour we are forced to endure. Though initially troubled by the news, Rolly is committed to approaching the challenge now before him by adhering to the traits—optimism and a never give up attitude—that he likely passed on to his son Terry. “Rolly, who will be 81 in March, started smoking at age 19, consistent with the times. He quit smoking on a dare from a brother on May 24, 1986 and exactly a year later ran a 10 miler. It will be 30 years this May that Dad took his last puff. Rolly has been a behind-the-scenes believer of Terry’s mission for 36 years. More recently, with the passing of Betty,

his wife of 54 years and Terry’s Mom, he has been more active visiting Terry Fox Runs across Canada and personally signing over 14,000 thank-you letters every year. “Lung cancer claims the lives of more Canadians than any other form of cancer, though because of the smoking stigma it is often neglected as a funding priority for research. The Terry Fox Research Institute, with funding from the Terry Fox Foundation, recently completed a pan-Canadian study to detect lung cancer early. We thank you for your continued support for our family during this period and for keeping alive Terry’s dream of ending cancer through research. “Our family will endeavour to keep supporters updated but will not be making any further public comments at this time. – The Terry Fox Family.” Terry’s legacy isn’t the foundation or the more than $650 million raised in the last decades, but it’s research success that money has made possible. Terry Fox’s legacy is impossible to overstate, and his connection to Chilliwack is worth noting. Hopefully we don’t lose another Fox any time soon.

New meaning to Ryder Lake Ramble Editor: Re: Bylaw #4177. OK,what’s that smell? The City of Chilliwack is going to amend text by removing standards concerning farm-side edge planning. Reading the white papers on how the government got to this point, it is interesting to see what is missing in their papers. Let’s auger down and review “Feedback received on Sept, 2014” and produced a discussion paper, OK. Maybe we were all on vacation and missed the notice. This group, called Strengthening Farm Program Innovation and Adaptation Services Branch, must be working overtime, hidden deep is 2.4.3 Direct Farm Marking Sales, further 3.5.3 Farm - Side Edge Planning, is, Farm By Law Standards that provide for setbacks up to 100 metres. This also provides the city the ability to make farm bylaws. Now, I can only wait for the agri-tourism activites to contribute to our tax base. Interesting, last time I looked there was only one registered doctor in Chilliwack that had the ability to write an Rx for marijuana. It may give a new meaning to the Ryder Lake Ramble.

Do we have the right to disagree? Editor: What makes Canada great? I love my country and respect those that have given their lives for our freedom. So what did they die for? Well, in this country we have the right to kill our unborn babies, we have the right explore our sexuality and gender and change them at our country’s expense. We have a government in Alberta that is forcing (forcing is literal) all schools to have gender neutral bathrooms and clubs for LGBT. We have a federal government that wants to make marijuana legal, and now they are drafting laws to make physician assisted suicide legal, regardless of the age

of the patient. And the part that blows me away is that we’re all fine with this? What happened to hope? What happened to love, joy, peace? What’s next? Interment camps for the few that disagree? Wait, it sounds farfetched, but did you think any of the stuff I mentioned would ever be legal? Accepted? Promoted? It seems like a race to the bottom. What’s next folks? Does anyone care? I think we agree that we started a country based on basic human rights. Do I have the right to disagree with where we’re going? Or am I labelled “whatever phobic” and told to sit down and shut up?

De Koning worthy recipient of praise Editor: I would like to commend Mayor Sharon Gaetz for recognizing Stefanie de Koning, a member of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program, at the Jan. 19 city council meeting. Mayor Gaetz presented Stefanie with a certificate for her longtime involvement with The War Amps and for helping to spread important messages in the community. Stefanie has been a junior counsellor to younger amputees at CHAMP seminars. She also helped spread the Association’s PLAYSAFE message, as she has met children who have lost limbs

in accidents that could have been prevented. Stefanie also passes on the remembrance message to the younger generation through The War Amps Operation Legacy. We are so pleased with Stefanie’s well-deserved recognition by the City of Chilliwack. Danita Chisholm, Executive Director, CHAMP Program The War Amps

SENIOR’S DAY!

DAVID HARRISON Be Our Guest sting in their wallets suspect that figures presented in the index don’t entirely reflect reality. When metrics were first introduced into Canada in the 1970s, consumers were naive and trusting and “conversion-confusion” was used to introduce price increases, but that changed with time and technology. Today’s consumers are far-less trusting, much more savvy and often use high-tech, hand-held devices for instant, price comparisons. When a better understanding of metrics took hold, corpora-

tions and retailers were forced to invent new methods to entice consumers, increase prices and improve dividends to demanding shareholders. Today’s new methods include fancier packaging with smaller product-amounts, product-alterations, and aggressive, targeted-advertising techniques which reap “vanity-pricing” on women’s clothing, and pricey, “musthave” brand-name products aimed at school-aged children. Good examples of “product-alterations” are found in everyday paper-products such as kitchen towels, tissues and toilet paper where products have fewer, thinner, narrower and smaller sheets year-over-year. Indexes simply consider the cost of a roll, or box, but do not consider

Editor: The Chilliwack Bowls of Hope Society would like to thank the Chilliwack Foundation for its generous grant which has enabled us to purchase another walk-in freezer for our Feed the Children program. We currently feed 645 children in 18 Chilliwack schools, and the additional freezer enables us to take twice as many donations of bread and vegetables than we have in the past. A previous grant from the Foundation in 2014 facilitated the purchase of our first freezer, and now we are able to double our storage capacity and be twice as efficient. Our purpose statement is: Helping Chilliwack children in need reach their full potential by fuelling their mind and body one mouthful at a time. The ongoing generosity of the Chilliwack Foundation is helping to make that possible. Natalie Pierson program co-ordinator, Chilliwack Bowls of Hope Society

Hidden inflationary costs in Canada

hen the Canadian government announces the annual inflation rate each year through the Consumer Price Index (CPI) using their standard “basket of goods and services,” consumers, taxpayers and social agencies all pay marked attention. Although this “basket” is fluid and surveils various regions and a wide range of goods and services to produce the CPI, there are many nebulous factors which are neither recorded nor entered into the mix. As a result, hidden inflationary costs put Canadian consumers further behind than the CPI suggests. From 2014 to 2015 (Dec. to Dec.) the Canadian CPI shows a 1.6 per cent increase, but consumers suffering the merciless

product-alterations, per se. In toiletries we find that bars of soap have become smaller, lighter and less-dense, which makes them “disappear” much more rapidly. Such minor, yearover-year product-alterations deceive consumers and skew price-indexes. Multiplied several hundred times and paid for in after-tax dollars, these alterations take a significant bite out of household budgets. Grains, fruits and vegetables today are scientifically grown faster, with less energy and manpower, and with food-values which are “suspect.” Therefore, although a 2016-tomato looks like a 1970-tomato, its food-value is questionable. As a result,

No strings attached BY REG TOEWS Greendale MB Church

hristmas has come and gone. The year 2016 has begun. What is going to be different this year? As we keep doing the same things we end up getting the same results. Are we any happier than we were last year? Did the spending and gift giving help us to be more content? I would like to share a secret with you. Maybe it isn’t a secret but it certainly can change up how you think and then what you do. Let’s look back for a moment. Christmas is a time to give gifts. I love seeing my grand boys opening presents and being excited about what might be inside. To see them expressing joy and thankfulness, is a tonic to my soul. I thoroughly enjoy getting my wife just the right gift that she wasn’t expecting. Having people in our home and sharing life, food and fun with them is also a great encourage-

life because you are making a difference for someone. At Christmas, agencies that reach out into the community see an influx of money and help in physical ways. This is fantastic and they really do need and deserve our support. However, generosity should not just be for one season or month of the year. The spirit of generosity should permeate all of our lives all the time. This year I would like to challenge us to build on a solid foundation of generosity. Give without strings being attached; without expectations; without thinking what you are going to get in return or that someone now “owes” you something; without seeing it as building your reputation. Just give with an open hand, freely. You will find that you are more thankful and filled with joy. Give it a try. See what happens.

ment. What does all this have in common and how is this some great secret? Let’s consider what the thought is behind doing all these things. Generosity is the focus of all of these. Each of these could be done for all the wrong reasons—expecting a nice gift in return for giving one; building my prestige by having the “right” people in my home for dinner. Notice how people seem to be entitled today. Living with the expectation of getting from others rather than giving to others. However, we can also be generous for all the right reasons. Jesus said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” What does it mean to give for the right reasons? The opposite of entitlement is generosity. Taking what we have and giving it away. Not giving everything away but certainly giving because we have so much. The result of giving is to be blessed. This is developing thankfulness and becoming a thankful person. It is a joy-filled

Just one for the road BY GREG LAYCHAK glaychak@chilliwacktimes.com

fter a long break due to a rare game cancellation last week, the Chilliwack Chiefs were back on the ice with a bumpy tour through the Interior division’s rocky roads for a trio of consecutive games last week. Leaving behind a threegame winning streak, the Chiefs lost to Trail on Thursday (6-4), to Penticton on Friday (8-1) and managed to hold on for a tie against West Kelowna (3-3) Saturday to finish the weekend winless. In Trail, the Smoke Eaters came out with early points on the board after first period goals from Harlan Orr (power play) and former Chief Evan MacEachern, followed by another from MacEachern in period two before Chilliwack’s first goal. An ensuing back-and-forth including Chiefs goals from Darien Craighead, Jordan

Kawaguchi, Kohen Olischefski and newcomer Rylan Bechtel in the last two frames wasn’t enough to make up the early Trail lead. Matteo Esposito took the loss with 19 saves, half that of his counterpart across the rink Bailey MacBurnie. But the road trip would get worse before it got better. Friday in Penticton, the league-leading Vees kept the Chiefs’ offence to a single Taylor Allan goal in the first period, while the home team scored their first five goals before the 20-minute mark. The Vees would prevent any further Chilliwack goals while securing three more of their own to win decisively 8-1. Penticton’s Tyson Jost padded his third-place league points stats with two goals and three assists, and top BCHL goalie (by GAA) Anthony Brodeur notched the win. And on the last day of their interior excursion, the Chiefs fought for an exciting tie in

Kelowna. Vimal Sukumaran scored on a Chiefs power play in the first period to open the scoring against the hosting Warriors. After two West Kelowna goals in the second frame, Kawaguchi scored the Chiefs’ second power-play goal to tie the game at 2-2. Though a third-period short-handed goal by Warrior Brett Mennear might have been the winner, Connor McCarthy answered with his power-play score to put the game into overtime. Chiefs goalie Aidan Pelino fended off eight shots (to his opponents one) during those last 10 minutes of overtime, earning the tie for Chilliwack. ◗ The Chilliwack Chiefs travel to Prince George tonight, before returning to Prospera Centre to host Surrey on Saturday (7 p.m.) and West Kelowna for a rematch on Sunday (5 p.m.).

Steve Kidd/Penticton Western News

Tyson Jost (17) of Penticton shoots on Aidan Pelino during last Friday’s 8-1 victory for the Vees. Jost, who was recently ranked 15th on the NHL Central Scouting midterm list, scored twice on Chilliwack and had three assists in the game.

Difficult road trips ahead for division-leading Chiefs

ust 15 regular season games remain on the Chiefs docket and Chilliwack is positioned to take home first place in the Mainland Division—but it won’t be easy. As this week began, Chilliwack was the owner of 60 points, seven more then Langley and Wenatchee, who are deadlocked for the second seed in the division. The Chiefs do hold games in hand on both the Rivermen and the Wild so they do control their own fate down the stretch. However, Chilliwack do have a pair of difficult road trips ahead, with the first taking place Thursday night in B.C.’s Northern Capital versus

Barry Douglas Chiefs Report Prince George. The Spruce Kings are mired near the bottom of the BCHL standings, with just 11 wins in 46 games, however the Chiefs are coming off a three-game in three-days road trip, that garnered just a single point and the 10-hour trek to Prince George is never routine. Jason Tatarnic’s squad also has a three-game in three-days Island Divi-

sion road swing during Valentine’s Day weekend with dates in Powell River, Cowichan Valley and Victoria. In total, the Chiefs have eight away and seven home games remaining on the schedule. Chilliwack also has their sights set on second overall in the BCHL, that would garner them the second seed in the BCHL round robin, should they make it through the difficult Mainland Division playoffs. The Nanaimo Clippers currently hold down the number two position in the league with 64 points but the Chiefs have a whopping five games in hand. Speaking of the Clippers,

congrats to their super sniper Sheldon Rempel who potted his 50th goal of the season last week, and now has 51 snipes in 48 games. Chilliwack’s team play a pair of games at Prospera Centre this weekend as Surrey and West Kelowna visit our fine city. The Eagles fly into our town this Saturday for the final time this season. We ask that if you are attending the game to please arrive early, as there will be members of Matthew Hutchinson’s family on hand for a ceremonial puck drop, video tribute and moment of silence for Hutch. Local band the Chill-Billies will be

performing on the 89.5 The Drive stage which is presented by Tractorgrease studio and Tractorgrease Café. This game is also a Subway 6 Saturday which means if the Chiefs can score six goals, every single fan in attendance will receive a voucher for complimentary cookies from Subway. On Sunday, West Kelowna will be on the ice at 5 p.m. versus Chilliwack. The Chiefs and Warriors duelled to all 3-3 tie last Saturday at Royal Lepage Place. Sunday’s game features the ever popular Fraser Valley Party Rentals Bouncy Castle and is also the annual Chiefs Adopt a School recognition night.

› Sports Chiefs make scouting list

NHL Central Scouting posted its 2016 midterm rankings last week and a few Chiefs names appeared on the list. Chilliwack’s defender Dennis Cholowski is in the 48th slot, while right-winger Kohen Olischefski is listed at 131st on the 200+ player register. They are joined by fellow BCHL players Tyson Jost (15th) and Dante Fabbro (18th) of Penticton, Kyle Betts (157th) of Powell River and Colin Grannary (186th) of Merritt. No BCHL goalies made the rankings.

Sartori’s efforts not enough

The MacEwan Griffins came away from a two-game weekend with a sweep over the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) women’s basketball team, despite a season-high 27 points from Kayli Sartori Friday night in Edmonton. In that game Sartori scored eight points in the first quarter to help put her team in a 12-9 lead at the end of the frame. Fellow Chilliwack player Shayna Cameron chipped in with 10 points. But after a sometimes close back-and-forth, UFV lost 76-61. On Saturday Cameron went 6-for-8 on three-point attempts to nail her team-high 18 points and Sartori posted 11 points, six rebounds and six assists. The Cascades now head into a bye week and return to action

Three basic knives to have: Chef ’s, bread and paring CHEF DEZ On Cooking su knives for only $19.99 on TV, think about it realistically. How well are these knives manufactured? Once the twenty dollars is divided between the TV air-time costs, the production of the commercial, and any middle-men that may be in between (such as marketers, etc.), how much is actually going toward the manufacturing of these knives? Remember, from this amount, a profit must be made as well. If you are looking to start a good quality knife collection, you should purchase knives that are made from high-carbon stainless steel. The high-carbon content in stainless steel is what ensures the steel is strong. This is very important for keeping a sharp edge. Any knife can be made from

stainless steel, but unless it is has a high-carbon content as well, it will lose its sharpness very quickly in comparison. Start with a standard “Chef’s” knife. Other than for bread cutting, this is the most versatile knife one can have in the kitchen, and can be used for almost any application. It offers a rounded top edge of the blade that facilitates a rocking motion to ease most cutting/slicing preparations. The next knife one should purchase for their collection is a good quality serrated knife for bread cutting. The serrated edge will not only produce perfect slices of bread without squashing the bread; it also brings relief to producing extremely thin cuts of fruits and vegetables. One should also purchase a paring knife because a chef’s knife might be overkill for those small jobs. These are the three main knives that should grace the starting foundation of your

knife collection. From this point on, you can proceed to adding other knives such as a carving knife, filet knife, cleaver, vegetable knife, etc. Most good quality knives will offer a full tang, meaning that the steel blade will run through the full length of the handle as well. This will offer more balance and control. Most importantly, ask questions and ask to handle the knives to ensure they offer a comfortable companionship with your unique hand. If a retail store is not informative about their products, and will not allow you to handle them, then take your business to one that will. Dear Chef Dez: I am already assuming that you will not recommend buying those full sets of knives for a really low price from TV, but they must be good if they offer a lifetime guarantee that they will never need sharpening. How can they do this? Is there a catch? Doris B. Burnaby

Dear Doris: I am assuming that the knives you are referring to are the same that I have seen. Although they are stainless steel, they offer a very low carbon content which makes them very soft steel in comparison, and thus less expensive to manufacture. Since all of the edges on these knives are serrated, they will keep their sharpness for a longer period of time than a straight edged knife, because the cutting is achieved by tearing at the food rather than slicing through it. They can offer a “lifetime guarantee” because they play on normal human behaviour. Chances are if they ever do need sharpening/replacing, one is not going to spend the money to ship them back to the manufacturer. ◗ Chef Dez is a food columnist, culinary travel host and cookbook author.

have always said that one of my favourite things about being a Chef is that I get to play with knives. Although this may sound very adventurous in a James Bond fashion, knife skills and proper/safe cutting practices are a very serious subject in the kitchen. With some basic knowledge, you can start to overcome any cutting intimidation you may have. In this column I will focus on the tools themselves—knives. This will be the first of three installments on cutting. My next column will focus on cutting boards, and the third column will focus on cutting techniques. There are many choices when trying to decide on which knives will adorn the collection of cutting tools in your kitchen. The marketplace is saturated with everything from mail-order deals to high-end specialties. First and foremost, I have to stress that one usually gets what they pay for.

{ GUEST, from page A9 } many consumers require pricey, over-the-counter vitamin-mineral supplements to maintain healthy diets. These extra food costs consistently go unmeasured. Most produce we eat is picked green-in-the-field in California or Mexico and appear on Canadian grocery shelves several weeks later. Often, as much as 30 per cent of the end-product is unusable forcing consumers to buy more of the same; these “double-purchases” are not tracked in the CPI. Today, with the rapid rise in food prices, many hard-pressed families are forced to make purchases in ever-smaller amounts which again increases their basic food costs well beyond stated indexcosts. For cash-strapped Canadians hoping to mitigate costs on transportation, today’s highly complex vehicles make such backyard mechanics impossible. This forces frugal-minded, hard working vehicle owners to pay ever-increasing amounts for vehicle upkeep at expensive garages. Perhaps the greatest, hidden inflationary cost today is the lag in cost-ofliving allowance increas-

Slippage is never indexed es (eg. OAS and CPP) which appear the following year to cover inflationary increases which consumers paid the year before. This annual lag negatively affects salaried workers, hourly wage earners and especially seniors and others on fixed incomes. At a cost of even 0.2 per cent per annum, this lag constitutes a two per cent loss of consumer traction over a decade. This annual slippage is never indexed and becomes an unrecoverable, permanent loss. These are just a few of the hidden, inflationary costs Canadians continuously face, and although the CPI is highly respected, reasonably accurate and a highly useful tool, actual inflation each year may be as much as 0.5 per cent to 1.0 per cent higher than the CPI indicates. ◗ Dave Harrison, BA, B.Ed., PBCE, is a retired teacher and writer who lives in Chilliwack during the summer months and on the Danube in Ruse, Bulgaria during the winter.

any Chilliwack residents are this month making one of their most important New Year’s resolutions ever. They’re becoming Dementia Friends, committing to learning a little bit about dementia so they can be supportive and inclusive toward people with the illness, which has become one of the country’s most pressing health issues. Statistics suggest three out of four area residents know someone living with dementia. “People affected by dementia continue to live in and be a part of our communities, and we can support them to stay connected in ways that are meaningful for them,” says Cyndi McLeod, Support and Education Coordinator for the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. for Chilliwack and Hope. “Through individual actions we can raise awareness of dementia and reduce the stigma attached to it.” The Dementia Friend campaign is the cornerstone of Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, which runs until the end of January. Becoming a Dementia Friend is easy, says McLeod. The process starts by signing up at DementiaFriends.ca. The next step is to understand five simple things about dementia: ◗ It is not a natural part of aging. ◗ It is not just about losing your memory. Dementia can affect thinking, communicating and

doing everyday activities. ◗ It is possible to live well with dementia. ◗ There is more to a person than a diagnosis of dementia. ◗ The Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s Chilliwack and Hope branch is here to help Chilliwack residents with dementia and their care partners. That knowledge can easily translate into action at home and work, McLeod adds. The Society has supported people living with dementia for 35

years. One of its initiatives, First Link, connects people affected by dementia with information, Society support services and programs such as Minds in Motion, and dementia education sessions at any stage of the journey. ◗ Chilliwack residents can find out about upcoming education sessions by contacting Cyndi McLeod at 604-702-4603 or cmcleod@alzheimerbc.org, and visiting www. alzheimerbc.org.

➤ DEMENTIA-FRIENDLY ACTIONS

Here are some tips to help you when you are connecting with a person living with dementia: ➤ Patience is key for dementia-friendliness. ➤ Use respectful language. People living with dementia are not “sufferers” or “patients.” ➤ Address the person with dementia, rather than those around them, when talking about their experience living with the disease. ➤ Connect, don’t correct. Respond to feelings being shared. ➤ Use precise language when describing actions or tasks. ➤ Give directions slowly and clearly. ➤ Focus on a person’s strengths and share tasks with them, like washing dishes or helping them to order at a coffee shop or restaurant. ➤ Become educated on dementia and on how to help, by visiting www.alzheimerbc.org.

Sleeping Beauty: Feb. 11 at thr Chilliwack Cultural Centre. Tickets are $40 for adults, $37 for seniors and $35 for students. Visit www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca.

Ballet Jörgen returns with Sleeping Beauty

20th century. And, being brought to Chilliwack by the outstanding Ballet Jörgen—the company that offered patrons unforgettable productions of Swan Lake and Romeo and Juliet in The Centre’s previous seasons—this classic and wellloved piece is sure to be instilled with passion, grace, and innovation. This production of Sleeping Beauty also reveals another of Ballet Jörgen’s signature elements —the company’s unique ability to beautifully capture the origins and essence of a classical ballet, while adding their own innovative and alluring charms. The original elements of Sleeping Beauty will flow with timeless elegance from

the stage; the unmistakable score of Tchaikovsky, the dream-like air of fantasy and wonder, and of course the everlasting romance at the heart of the tale. Yet Ballet Jörgen also brings their own personality to the production, drawing on the captivating theme of nature to imbue Sleeping Beauty with enchanting symbolism and poignancy. With this production, the company’s artistic director and award-winning choreographer Bengt Jörgen focuses on the magical element of the story, and the interpretation of the ballet as a nature allegory. The young princess Aurora—cursed to an endless sleep —represents nature. The wicked

fairy, who casts this curse upon her and who deadens life with pricks of frost represents winter, and the young Prince, who awakens Aurora with a kiss, represents spring; cutting away the brambles to allow the sun to awaken sleeping nature. With the dazzling dance of fairies and creatures and intimate connection of beauties and heroes unfolding in a vibrant, wonder-filled garden, this delightful metaphor truly comes to life from the stage. And with Ballet Jörgen drawing on the original choreography by Marius Petipa, the result is an inspirational tale of nature and love. Ballet Jörgen will also be participating in a special event that will excite local photographers—The

Textile artist Judy Hurley’s work will be on display until Feb. 25 at the Art Room

An exploration of textures T he Chilliwack Community Arts Council presents its first gallery exhibition of 2016, Creative Textile Images, featuring textile artist Judy Hurley. This tactile exhibit, running Jan. 29 to Feb. 25, highlights an exclusive collection of pieces in Hurley’s signature exploratory style. Hailing from the United Kingdom, Hurley has established herself as a pillar of the Chilliwack arts community. She is a former member of the Chilliwack Community Arts Council board of directors as well as past president and current secretary of the Chilliwack Visual Artists Association. Hurley dedicated herself to advancing the arts through her career as an educator and mentor to art and fashion students both locally and abroad before retiring in 2005 to pursue her personal passion for visual arts. A lover of texture and colour, Hurley combines her passions using techniques such as burning, creasing, stitching, wrapping, clamping and embellishing to transform humble fab-

rics into seamless works of art. Much in the same way a traditional artist uses paint or a potter manipulates clay, Hurley uses these transformed textiles as the inspiration and materials with which to create imaginative pictures and panels. In addition to the opportunity to view Hurley’s imaginative pieces, guests will have the first glimpse of the recently renovated Art Room space and newly-formed Gift Nook showcasing handmade artisan gifts and indulgences. An artist meet and greet and the grand opening of the Gift Nook will be held on Jan. 29 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Art Room (20 – 5725 Vedder Rd.). Guests will have a chance to speak with the artist, browse gifts for sale or even purchase a piece of artwork from the exhibition. ◗ Creative Textile Images runs until Feb. 25. The Art Room is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more details about the exhibit and Gift Nook please call 604-769-2787 or visit chilliwackartscouncil.com.
