Teen helps save family from fire
A
teenage girl helped save her family from a fire that burned down a Vedder Crossing home late Monday night. The girl was putting her younger brother to bed on the home’s second floor when she looked outside and saw flames eating away at the house’s outside deck, Chilliwack Fire Department Capt. Don Van Beest told theTimes. The teen quickly helped get both her brother and another younger sibling out of the house and alerted her parents, who were also able to escape unharmed. Shortly thereafter, the house’s fire alarm went off
as the flames began to spread to the interior of the structure. Van Beest said the teen deserves praise for her quick reaction to the potentially deadly situation. Firefighters were called to the scene at 11:40 p.m. but were unable to save the four-year-old 3,500square-foot home, which was located in the 6400 block of Bearstone Place on the Tzeachten First Nation. The family is staying with relatives nearby. They did have insurance on the home. A cause of the fire has not been determined but it is considered accidental.
Kitchen fire in mobile home Firefighters are also urging the public to take care while cooking after a kitchen fire damaged the roof of an East Chilliwack mobile home and sent its occupant to hospital. Crews were called to the home, in the 46000 block of Upper Prairie Road, around 6:30 p.m. They arrived to find a fire in the home’s attic space. The blaze was quickly brought under control, with most of the damage limited to the ceiling and roof of the home. One person was taken to hospital for observation for possible smoke inhalation. Firefighters say the fire

Smoking caused Garrison fire Firefighters say they believe care-
lessly discarded smoking materials caused the Aug. 21 fire that destroyed several Garrison Crossing townhomes. The blaze, in the 45000 block of Tamihi Way, began in a two-storey townhouse unit. It spread to adjoining units before firefighters could knock down the flames. No one was injured, but a family of five had no fire insurance.Their need has prompted an outpouring of support from the community and several fundraisers, including a Ladies Night Out event Thursday evening at 6 p.m. at Back At You thrift store on Yale Road.

In its 15th year, the Chilliwack Corn Maze teamed with the RCMP to celebrate the force’s 140th birthday and the 50th anniversary of E Division’s Auxiliary Constable program. The Mounties will be at the maze on Sept. 14, and proceeds will go to the Vancouver Sun’s Raise-a-Reader literacy campaign.

hanges coming next year to the way paper material is recycled in British Columbia could mean consumers will pay higher prices for products while still paying fees for collection. The system being foisted onto municipalities under a strict deadline by the provincial government could also be a “step backward,” according to Chilliwack city staff, as the new system will require more separation of recyclables than the current comingled collection. At Tuesday’s meeting of city council, Mayor Sharon Gaetz lauded the province’s “cradle-to-cradle” philosophy but criticized the not-for-profit body created to implement the plan. “We don’t appreciate the fact that if we don’t ago along with this then our taxpayers could end up paying twice for a

Carjacking ends with arrest BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com
T
he carjacking of a pizza delivery vehicle Sunday night ended with the alleged perpetrator in custody. Mounties say a man used a weapon to steal the delivery driver’s vehicle just after 10 p.m. Sunday in the 8500 block of Young Road, in the vicinity of City Hall. Patrols in the area turned up the vehicle, and RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Len vanNieuwenhuizen said police “tracked” the car as it drove to Fairfield Island, then to the Rosedale area and then back to Fairfield.
Witnesses reported that the car drove at a high rate of speed down Young Road, followed shortly after by a large number of police cruisers. VanNieuwenhuizen said the suspect eventually left his vehicle on Fairfield Island and ran through several backyards. Police dogs were brought to the scene and eventually found the man lying on the roof of a home. The man was arrested. In addition to the pending robbery charge, VanNieuwenhuizen said the suspect was prohibited from driving. The name of the suspect has not yet been released.
MAYOR HONOURS KAI Mayor Sharon Gaetz and city council honoured nine-yearold Kai Manning Tuesday for the young boy’s fundraising efforts for cancer research. Manning’s father died of cancer four years ago and this summer Manning started a lemonade stand that became a local phenomenon, raising a total of $4,250 for BC Children’s Hospital.

News RECYCLING, from page 1 service and so we really do need to continue this discussion,” Gaetz said. By May 2014, producers of packaged and printed paper in B.C. will be responsible for funding the stewardship program to collect and recycle these materials. Multi-Material British Columbia (MMBC) is the body created by the Ministry of the Environment to develop and implement the plan. But MMBC has put forward an offer that city hall says will not fully financially compensate the municipality for recycling and they have been given a deadline of Sept. 16 to unconditionally accept or reject the deal. City council was told by staff that the tight deadline meant they could not do the thorough financial and risk analysis required. The “paying twice” Gaetz is concerned about comes from the fact that funding for the new plan will come from producers who will pass the cost on to consumers. And because MMBC’s “one-sided” contract will not cover costs to the city, taxpayers will still be on the hook. A Vancouver-based public policy think tank articulated similar concerns to Chilliwack’s in a report issued Aug. 29. “The introduction and growth of residential recy-

“There is a danger that the changes proposed could undermine this success and lead to backsliding in recycling services.” Charley Beresford backsliding in recycling services. Further consultation between the province, local governments and industry could help resolve these issues and ensure that B.C. residents continue to receive environmentally effective, user-friendly residential recycling services.” Some communities have already accepted the MMBC offfer while others have expressed similar
displeasure to Chilliwack. Prince George city council, for example, unanimously rejected the offer in August. At Tuesday’s meeting, council voted to accept “in principle” MMBC’s offer of financial compensation with the caveat that “the service agreement is renegotiated to ensure a mutually beneficial partnership.” “We have got a letter going out to the province indicating that we are not pleased with the short deadline of Sept. 16,” Gaetz said. The city may find itself up against a wall, however, as on MMBC’s website the deadline to respond to the offer is made firm. “We understand the challenges of the sequence of events leading to May 19, 2014 for all parties: collectors, post-collection service providers, stewards and MMBC. However, given stewards’ regulatory obligation to assume responsibility for [packaged and printed paper] as of May 19, 2014 and the need to issue an RFP for post-collection services following the Sept. 16 deadline, MMBC is reconfirming the September 16 deadline for collector responses.”

Gas attacks and bad TV J ust when my faith in humanity was on the very edge of being restored by a majority (albeit a slim one) of British parliamentarians! The Brit politicians got up on their hind legs and turned down their own prime minister’s request for guns, ammunition and body bags to bolster an American “punishment” war on Syria. They wanted more and better information about the reasons for going to war and what the warriors hoped to achieve. They wanted confirmation that chemical attacks have actually taken place in Syria (though most are in agreement that the heinous act was, indeed, perpetrated), but more importantly, they wanted to be sure that any responsive attack would be aimed at the people who actually did the deed—and that the outcome of such an attack would be more than simply killing a bunch more people. Not surprisingly, they weren’t keen on blindly accepting American “intelligence” reports, with debate centring on waiting for corroborating evidence being gathered by United Nations observers. Something about Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction seemed to be stuck in their craws (which, of course, might explain why they were never found in Iraq). Canada and Australia, mean-
BOB GROENEVELD
Be Our Guest while, have both declared themselves allies of the United States in its resolve to set Syria straight . . . but have both declined to offer any participation other than to stand behind their good American friends. Far, far behind. I wonder if the Americans will appreciate the Brits’ democratically established honesty. And Germany, too, has come right out and clearly stepped back. That leaves the Americans now standing shoulder-to-shoulder with their close friends, the French. How ironic is that! I guess freedom fries will be French again. My guess is that there will be little more than a few perfunctory bombs dropped until the U.N. crew finds a way to confirm or deny the Syrian government’s involvement in the sarin gas travesty. A few people will be killed, and little will be accomplished. And in other news that was important enough to push aside
the Syrian abyss and the brink of war . . . Duck Dynasty has just been declared the most-watched program in cable television history, with a viewing audience four times that of Mad Men. I’m not sure what distresses me more, that Duck Dynasty has taken over the coveted top spot from Deadliest Catch, that Deadliest Catch was purported to have been the previous recordholder powering our mass (but definitely not massive) popular intellect, or that anyone would bother to compare either of them to Mad Men as if there’s enough relevance to be found there to take our minds off dead and dying children in some far-off exotic land. And anyway, why did no one in any of the reports I heard mention Here Comes Honey Boo Boo—another show that has my thumb twitching excitedly (even though my thumb can’t stand the stuff) when I accidentally fall into one of the many reality gaps that have taken hold of most of my television’s cable bandwidth? Has the over-indulged little twerp fallen out of favour? Is her disrespectful blather no longer considered “cute”? Should my distress actually be anchored in the fact that any of these shows can be mentioned alongside Syria? Somehow, I find myself pining for the days of I Love Lucy.
f you don’t have any school-aged children, you should be thinking carefully about this week—especially if you’re planning to drive anywhere. Parents with kids who returned to school this week, or went to class for the first time, have been thinking about the start of the new school year for a while. They’ve been amassing a fortune in school clothes and supplies, and figuring out how their youngsters will get to school and back home again . . . safely. Lots of parents will opt to drive their children to school, and that will mean a huge increase in local traffic around schools every weekday morning, and again in the afternoons. Lots of kids will be walking to school, creating a mass of pedestrian traffic excited about the return to school, reconnecting with friends and filled with all sorts of thoughts and ideas to distract them from the business of safely negotiating the route to school. Traffic congestion has a way of building frustration and inciting rash behaviour in drivers who suddenly realize they are going to be late for work or appointments. In some cases, it can inspire bad decisions. In an environment of traffic congested by parents trying to relearn the routine of getting their youngsters to the school’s front door, frustrated commuters finding their usual route to work clogged and masses of kids bubbling with excitement, one bad decision can wreak havoc on many lives. If you’re driving anywhere this week, remember that, in any altercation between your vehicle and a child, the child will lose—but so will you, regardless of who’s at fault. Think about leaving for work early. And drive at a speed that allows you time to think.

Battle of Britain pilots endured a relentless horror Editor: Reflect back on your life at 19, 20, 21 years of age and imagine not being sure you would ever be able to see your loved ones ever again; your mom, your dad, your sister or brother, even that special someone with whom you would like to spend more time. With the age of majority set at 21, many Battle of Britain pilots were not old enough to vote but not too young to lay down their lives in the struggle to save Britain from coming under the tyranny of unbridled aggression. The life expectancy of a pilot was about 87 flying hours. That’s less than four days! All things considered, you had maybe two weeks; though some died within hours of first flying a plane, and some lasted over a year. Flying during the war meant you had only a slim chance of survival during the terrifying haze of aerial warfare. “Dogfighting exacts a fearsome toll from the frail human body and its senses, aside from the immediate stress of combat,” according to the RAF website. “Flying at 30,000 feet in an unpressurized environment with no cockpit heating and little by way of special flying clothing, the din pounds the eardrums and the g-forces lead to blood draining from the brain causing the nightmare of blackouts. The pilot has to summon every ounce of his physical and mental strength to maintain control against the huge elemental forces acting against his body, mind and aircraft. The environment inside the cockpit was as hostile as the one outside.” D-Day was incredibly tough. Now try to visualize the almost daily D-Days endured by our pilots during aerial combat while on a normal tour of duty. This is what they, and their support people, went through to make sure we could have the freedoms we enjoy today.

War is not a docudrama, it’s not a movie and it’s exceedingly deadly for all those involved. It leaves scars, both physical and mental, and it’s important that we show our air force that we appreciate all they’ve done for the rest of us Canadians. Please join us on Sunday, Sept. 15 at 1:45 p.m. for the 73rd Anniversary of the Battle of Britain tribute taking place at our cenotaph in Veteran’s Memorial Park in downtown Chilliwack.

Minter Gardens can be saved
Editor: Bronwyn is her name; she is a very young lady with a big dream, and Bronwyn has a plan to make sure that her dream will reach reality. “I have it all in my head,” she let us know. We met Bronwyn for the first time last Sunday at Minter Gardens in Chilliwack/Rosedale. She was helping in the Gift Shop at Minter Gardens and talking to some other visitors about the sad reality that 2013 will be the final season that we can visit Minter Gardens and that Monday, Oct. 14 will be the last day of operation. We were just leaving the
gardens after enjoying, with a last look, the many beautiful things in the little store when I saw this enthusiastic young girl and her listeners, and I heard her saying: “If I can help it, Minter Gardens never will be closed. I will make sure that I later can have my own wedding celebration also in these beautiful gardens as so many other couples over all these years had before me. I can’t sleep anymore and I think about the many possibilities to keep Minter Gardens open for all of us; but I can’t do it alone. We all need to work together and we have to involve not only the people from our area but from the whole of B.C. and Canada and even from all over the world. We have to involve the different governments, municipalities, provinces and the federal government. Think about what we could make from the gardens. A big hotel on part of the parking place would attract more people to our area. It would stimulate more business in our area. We could keep the gardens open all year long for educational purposes for all schools from all over the country, making a part of it in to an organic garden. The students could help to keep the gardens clean and tidy; it would encourage other entrepreneurs to start more businesses in our area and many of us would not have to look

Whatever, we all have to help Bronwyn to bring her dream into reality and save Minter Gardens for all of us, but especially for the future of our children. What can you do? Let us work together. Herewith I would like to encourage Bronwyn by saying: Go for it. I know there are many people who have the right connections, the financial power, the time and the conviction, and they will give you all the help and assistance necessary to be successful. Just start, and others will follow you. You are a born leader, a convincing advocate, a beautiful girl and you will be a role model for many young people and a pillar for our society.

somewhere else to find a job. Minter Gardens should be saved as a national park and not be changed into another place for a few individual people who would build just their houses. I would like to work day and night to . . .” I joined the conversation for a while, since I was happy to meet finally somebody with a plan. Bronwyn was committed and I knew, one could feel it, she was very serious about her dream and her plan to do everything to save Minter Gardens for all of us and make it even more attractive for visitors from all over the world. I was sorry that I had to leave since my visitors from the Netherlands were waiting for me on the parking place. They had planned to visit some other places in the area and it was their last day before leaving for Europe again. On Aug. 26, I went back to Minter Gardens, just to talk to Bronwyn about her plans, to encourage her and to offer our help. I learned that she was a student and Sunday was her last day at Minter Gardens before she had to go back to school again. Her former colleagues mentioned that there were many more people with many more good ideas, among others: to build a cable railway up to Mount Cheam; that would be an attraction for visitors from all over the world; or to build close to the gardens a retreat
Enough slobs out there? Editor: I have been very concerned about the recent expansion of restaurant outlets in our city. It seemed to me that we could not possibly have enough patrons to leave their half-eaten food on all those additional tables. How foolish I was to worry when the good
people of Chilliwack were up to the challenge! A quick check at McDonalds this morning and then Tim Hortons this afternoon assured me that all is well. The usual crowds seem to have risen to the task and half-consumed food and empty containers occupy most tables and often spill out into the parking lots. Who do we have to thank for this bounty of garbage left on open display? I have broken the patrons down into several categories for easy study. 1) Geezers (like me) who are likely in the early stages of dementia and cannot remember a time when you carried out the remainder of a meal to the receptacle at the door. 2) Teens who did not learn at home to clean-up after themselves. 3) Teen workers who cannot take a break from their conversations to clean the tables and garbage cans . 4) Absent management who value no brain/no train as a company motto. 5) Parents who are determined to teach their children “someone else” will look after their mess. We are fortunate indeed that there are enough of these slobs to employ an army of Hell’s Angels as the restaurant industry and our waistlines expand . Jack A. Bass Chilliwack

Faith Today
God is willing to act on your behalf
BY VERN TOMPKE Vineyard Community Church
H
eard a good story recently? Let me tell you a story from one of my favourite Biblical events. In the Old Testament book of Samuel, the Jewish tribes are facing a larger and more technologically advanced enemy in the Philistines. Whereas the Philistines have perfected iron weapons and have chariots at their disposal, the Israelites are country bumpkins with little going for them. As the two enemies faced each other preparing for battle, the King’s son,
Jonathan, slips out of the camp unnoticed with only his young armour bearer for company. As he approaches the Philistine lines he spots a group of enemy soldiers high up on a plateau with only a steep cliff between them. What Jonathan does next would rank at the top of anybody’s “foolishness” meter. He turns to his young companion and says “let’s go over closer so they can see us—perhaps God will act on our behalf for he can save us whether by many or a few.” Sure enough, as they get closer they are spotted, and, as enemy soldiers often do, they began
to call out insults—questioning the other’s lineage, I’m sure, besmirching each others’ mothers’ character—you know the type. Then Jonathan asks God for a sign—if they say “come up here and fight” then it will be a sign that our “perhaps God” is on. Sure enough, they call Jonathan to come and fight and so he climbs up the cliff, does his ninja thing, and in the process, God intervenes with a series of events that leads to a rout of the enemy. (With stories like this, you really should read the Bible sometime.) So here’s my question: Was
Jonathan foolish? Sure, he did give God a chance to say “not this time” but, forgive me Jonathan, I always thought your test was kind of leading. It seems pretty likely to me that they would challenge you to come up and “rumble.” Yes, I realize we are told not to test God, yet Jonathan is a great reminder that this does not mean we should be unwilling to step out and take risks to live out our faith. John Wimber used to say that the way he spelled the word faith was R-I-S-K. For example, a couple of weeks ago I spoke about being willing to risk praying for healing for someone (and no, this

undreds of hockey players, scouts and fans will take over Prospera Centre this weekend for the British Columbia Hockey League’s second showcase event. The Bauer Showcase will see each team play two games in Chilliwack in front of scouts from dozens of National Hockey League teams and countless American universities. “This [event] really speaks to the purpose of the BCHL and that’s to get kids headed off to college in the right direction,” Chiefs president Glen Rindal said. The event is designed with scouts in mind, but it’s also a unique opportunity for junior hockey fans who don’t usually get a chance to see a dozen-plus games over the course of a weekend. Unlike last year, tickets to the showcase are included in Chiefs season ticket packages. Weekend and day passes are also available, as are tickets to the two Chiefs games. This year’s event also features a few more fan attractions, including the “Bauer Experience” on Saturday morning, when skaters of all ages can hit the Prospera rink between 9 and 11:15 a.m. and try out new top-of-the-line equipment. There is also a tailgate party—featuring music, a corn roast and Kai Manning’s lemonade stand—at 5 p.m. Saturday before the Chiefs open their season. And for players, coaches and family members of the hundreds of players who are in town, organizers have scheduled an education seminar about the college

ExploreVancouverIsland For those yearning for a weekend getaway, Vancouver Island is little more than 20 minutes by float plane, or a couple of hours (or less) by ferry. The Island is home to seven distinct regions, all with their own charm and appeal. Whether you long to head out for a cosmopolitan centre, a small town or a snug harbour, the Vancouver Island region has it all. For the outdoor enthusiast, there’s rugged oceanfront hiking trails, wilderness camping, big-wave surfing, mountain biking paths, wildlife watching expeditions, caving and kayaking trips that makes the Island a natural paradise. Yet, don’t be fooled by the Island’s other choice of activities – golf, museums, spectacular gardens, aquariums and government buildings – Vancouver Island is also a Mecca for those who want a variety of dining and shopping choices. Prepare yourself for a culinary adventure because the Island offers everything from international
fine dining to West coast cuisine, tempting seafood to culinary classics with an Island twist, and everything in between. Explore its great shopping with unique retail outlets selling local fashion, food, wine, crafts, art and much more. In the evening, head out for a night of fabulous live music, theatre or fine arts. Vancouver Island is a land of diversity and choices, and that includes the Island’s accommodations. There’s a home-away-fromhome that will satisfy every taste and budget. If your idea of an idyllic stay is a restorative one, the Island offers - myriad -resort lodgings, boutique hotels, major chain hotels, warm and inviting B&Bs and funky hostels. Best of all, because of the warm Pacific Ocean currents, Vancouver Island boasts one of the mildest climates in the country. Here you can ski or snowboard in the morning, have a late lunch at a beachside bistro and and play 18 holes of golf in the afternoon. There’s so much waiting for you in the Vancouver Island region in the fall and it’s all there waiting to be discovered: whether it’s storm watching from the open Pacific, a brisk walk in the cool morning air or retreating to a spa for a day of pampering. For more information about what to do and see on Vancouver Island, visit www.vancouverisland.travel.

Huskers’ woes continue BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com
T
he Valley Huskers’ fourth-quarter troubles continued last weekend as they dropped an important contest Saturday to the Westshore Rebels. The Huskers gave up three touchdowns in the final 15 minutes to fall 40-33 to the Westshore Rebels in the two teams’ only meeting of the season. The victory was the first of the season for the Rebels. Halfway through the British Columbia Football Conference season, the Huskers (2-21, including a default win) have a three-point edge on the Rebels (1-4-0) for the fourth and final playoff spot. Both teams offence lit up the other’s defence. Receiver Cody Vinnish was near-unstoppable for Valley. Vinnish caught five passes from
quarterback Cody Parray en route to a 181yard, one-touchdown day. Parray completed 13 of 29 passes for 278 yards, but was intercepted three times. He also ran for 40 yards and two touchdowns on four carries. Ty Derayos ran for 84 yards on 19 carries. He now sits fourth in the BCFC in rushing. The Rebels were even better, with quarterback Hunter Lake throwing for 317 yards and five touchdowns. He also ran for 56 yards on 10 carries. The Huskers look to get back on the winning foot Saturday against the Kamloops Broncos at Townsend Park. A victory will put Valley in prime position to secure a playoff spot. The game isValley’s last of the season against Kamloops. A win would force the Rebels to beat one of the league’s top three teams in order to wrest fourth-place from the Huskers. The game time is 1 p.m.
Grizzlies lose in Oregon
Both the varsity and JV defensive units for the Grizzlies were very strong, each only yielding one TD. The other Vikings points came from their defence. Josh Pretty was a standout at safety in the first half with seven tackles, while linebacker Jordon Breuker led the way in the second half for the JV group with five tackles. Both Grizzlies teams play their first home games in a doubleheader at Exhibition Stadium Sept. 27.

The Grizzlies started strong, marching the ball deep into the Colton end under the guidance of first-year quarterback Branden McCormick before attempting and missing a 26-yard field goal. Both teams were defensively strong in the first half with the ball rarely moving from the middle of the field. Towards the end of the second quarter, the Vikings scored what amounted to the game winning TD on a broken off-tackle run that went for 36 yards.

he G.W. Graham Grizzlies improved from last year, but it wasn’t enough to bring home a different result from Colton, Ore, last weekend. The Grizzlies lost 21-0 to the Colton Vikings Saturday in a game that was closer than the score indicated. Down 6-0 at the half, the Grizzlies switched to a full junior varsity roster to get all players some playing time. “It was a pretty sloppy game from start to finish” head coach Laurie Smith said.

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