Saidi was never certified as a CMA Cultus Lake Park Board’s financial officer under scrutiny BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

uestions have been raised about the credentials of the man most recently in control of the Cultus Lake Park Board’s (CLPB) finances. Siamak Saidi, who faces a civil suit and a number of criminal charges connected to the alleged misappropriation of more than $800,000 from Simon Fraser University (SFU), has been using a designation he is not permitted to use, according to the Certified Management Accountants of B.C. (CMABC). And the business he was connected to, Siamak Saidi Ltd., “is not and has never been licensed to carry on the practice of public accounting in British Columbia,” according to the Chartered Accountants of British Columbia (CABC). On Tuesday, the CABC issued a public notice—which appeared as an ad in the Vancouver Sun—that said Siamak Saidi Ltd. is not “entitled to use the designation ‘Chartered Accountant’ or the initials ‘CA’.” Saidi is currently in jail awaiting his next court appearance in Vancouver on Oct. 3. The results of an internal audit in 2012 by SFU were turned over See SAIDI, Page 3

The three other boys managed to get away, two on bikes and one on a long board. Bleeding from his leg after the bite, Zandberg shed his clunky shoes and started to run in sock feet as fast as he could. He, too, eventually got away, but

SAIDI, from page 1 to the RCMP, which led to four charges in August of this year: fraud over $5,000, theft over $5,000, forgery and using forged documents. Saidi was terminated from his SFU job in January 2012—unrelated to the alleged fraud—and was hired by the CLPB as manager of financial services later that same year. In email correspondence while employed at Cultus Lake, Saidi put the letters CA and CMA after his name,

the latter standing for certified management accountant. A spokesperson for CMABC told the Times that Saidi was a student member for one year, 2001-2002, and that when the organization found out last month he was using the designation, he was sent a letter ordering him to stop.

he owner of a pair of alpacas killed by a cougar earlier this week believes her animals died defending their young. Two female alpacas were killed Sunday night on the Ryder Lake property where they were grazing, but two cria (young alpacas) were unharmed in the attack. The alpacas’ owner, Sherry Enns, believes the mother alpacas sacrificed themselves for their young. Conservation officers have laid a trap for the cougar in case it returns to continue feeding on its prey. Enns runs Ryder Lake Alpacas and Llamas along with her husband Perry, but her alpacas had been grazing on a Ross Road property when they were killed. Enns’s farm is a popular stop on the annual Ryder Lake Ramble, and one of the dead alpacas—named Cappy— was a star attraction. E n n s s a i d Ca p py w a s abnormally friendly for alpacas, which are typically aloof creatures. “She would come up and let people pet her and that’s

not something that I have in the rest of my animals,” Enns said. “She was the one who would eat the most from all the kids. . . . This is the one who was the Ryder Lake experience.” E n n s d i d n’t w a n t t h e attack to be blown out of proportion; she noted that Ryder Lake is a rural area and encounters with wild animals are not uncommon. But she did urge other Ryder Lake residents to make sure their animals are safe while the cougar remains at large. Conservation officer Kyle Ackles agreed. “People in the area should probably be a little vigilant,” he told the Times. Ackles said cougars that stray into populated areas are often younger males looking to establish a territory but being pushed away from home by more dominant animals. The alpacas would be an easy kill for such a creature. There is no guarantee the cougar will be successfully captured, he said. If people encounter a cougar, Ackles said they should make lots of noise and, if in a group, stand closely together. “Never turn your back on a cougar,” he said.

Driving ban quashed thanks to sloppy work Judge blames cop for ‘complete failure’ to carry out his job duties properly BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

iting sloppy policework by an Agassiz RCMP officer, Supreme Court Justice Neill Brown has quashed a 90-day driving ban handed down to a man suspected of drinking and driving last year. Norman John Longstaff was stopped last May while driving in Harrison Hot Springs. An Agassiz RCMP officer, identified only as Const. Paterson in a Supreme Court judgement, would later provide a sworn report that Longstaff failed a breathalyzer. Paterson reported that two samples of Longstaff’s breath revealed a blood alcohol content of .140 and .130. Longstaff was handed a 90-day administrative driving prohibition by the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles, but appealed the ban. Brown heard that prior to the adjudicator’s review, an urgent request was sent to Paterson asking either for a “certificate of analysis” by the technician who took

Longstaff’s breath sample or a reason for its absence. Paterson didn’t respond. Still, the prohibition was upheld by an adjudicator. Longstaff took the decision to the Supreme Court of British Columbia, where he argued the adjudicator had erred by ruling that the officer’s sworn statement was reliable despite the lack of a certificate or an explanation for its absence. Longstaff’s lawyer also pointed out that Paterson reported in his statement that he had stopped his client at 7:36 p.m., but observed Longstaff driving at 7:37 p.m. Longstaff’s lawyer said the known errors called into question the reliability of the report. Justice Neill Brown threw out the prohibition, and declined to give the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles another opportunity to punish Longstaff. In doing so, he put the blame on Paterson. “In light of [Const.] Paterson’s complete failure to comply with his prescribed duties, his failure to respond to the Superintendent’s request he provide the certificate, and the report’s obvious deficiencies, I see no likelihood the review process could be conducted as required,” Brown wrote in his report. Longstaff also faces criminal charges in connection with the incident. He was scheduled to appear in court Thursday.

News Gill Road camper seriously assaulted in August Mounties are asking for the public’s help after a camper was seriously assaulted in late August after asking a reckless driver to slow down. Police say a 55-year-old Chilliwack man sustained severe injuries after he was struck by a younger man on Aug. 27 along the bank of the Fraser River near several Gill Road campsites. Police say the older man confronted a younger man for driving erratically. The younger man then struck the complainant in the head. Mounties say the suspect may have been in his late teens, six feet tall, slim, with dark short clean-cut hair and a goatee. He was described as wearing a red shirt and may go by the name TJ. Anyone with information is asked to call the RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Man well known to police charged in carjacking A man with a long criminal history has now been charged in connection with an alleged carjacking last

Police briefs week. David Sean Anderson has been charged with robbery, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and trespassing at night. Anderson, whose year of birth is listed in online court records as 1984 (which would make him either 28 or 29 years old), is well known to police in British Columbia, having been charged with offences in several different jurisdictions including, most recently, Nanaimo. Last week, Mounties told the Times a man had used a weapon to steal a vehicle from a pizza delivery driver. Police tracked the car from Fairfield Island to Rosedale and back before arresting one person on the roof of a local home. Police raid nets drugs and fire department connectors Mounties seized meth-

amphetamine, cocaine and brass fire department connectors from a Princess Avenue home raided in late August. Police say the quantity of drugs seized was large. And by possibly solving the ongoing theft of connectors, which allow firefighters to hook up to the water supply, another safety concern may have been alleviated. “Not only was this investigation able to resolve a serious criminal drug trafficking issue, through the diligent work of our Crime Reduction Unit, a serious public safety issue was resolved,” RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Len vanNieuwenhuizen said in a press release. “The theft of the connectors made the fire hydrants inoperable and a very real safety concern in terms of the ability to fight fires.” Travis Richard Schroeder, 35, has been charged with possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, possession of stolen property and unauthorized possession of a firearm.

he occupation of the Seabird Island band office by approximately 30 members of the so-called Committee for the Betterment of Seabird Island ended Tuesday evening after the group met with the chief and council. Spokesperson Fred Price told the Times that former lieutenant governor of B.C. Steven Point was going to act as a mediator between the band council and the committee. Monday morning, the group took over the band office and refused entry to administrative staff, elected councillors or Chief Clem Seymour. “We ended the protest yesterday,” Price said Wednesday, adding, when asked if he was sat-

isfied. “So far it seems to be going good.” While the band office occupation is over, and the group seems to want to engage in dialogue with band council, the damage has been done, according to Sto:lo Tribal Council president Grand Chief Doug Kelly. Kelly told the Times that the accusations made by Price have no substance. He added that there seems to be at least an element of sour grapes from Price, who finished 15th out of 27 candidates for the nine positions on band council in March of this year. “This is an inappropriate way of campaigning for the next election,” Kelly said. “If you want to earn the support of citizens, you don’t attack the ones that are there now.” He said that the allegations made by Price’s group are unfair, and that both Seymour and band manager Daryl McNeil are committed to the community.

On hearing and listening

fter her first day of preschool last week (and by “day” I mean half an hour), my nearly four-year-old daughter was eager to show me the resultant craft project that emerged. As a giddily supportive father I was eager to see and was told that it resided in the refrigerator. What, pray tell, I wondered, could they have done at the first day of preschool that required refrigeration? Let me point out at the outset that my daughter is a genius above all recognizable measures of intelligence anywhere discovered. She is very smart. So I wondered, is it some artistic creation, some sculptural masterpiece, put together with exotic glues that require cold for stability? Or maybe they have dissected a mouse or a frog and she has identified the parts on the splayed out creature? Ooh, maybe they learned about fermentation and she brewed her father a growler of India Pale Ale! OK, OK, this is preschool. Lower expectations. Now that summer holidays are finished, parents of schoolaged kids everywhere are thanking/ruing the fact that summer is gratefully/unfortunately over. I suspect many of us are of two minds on the matter. Parents have been released from the incessant complaints about being bored. But at the same time, they no lon-

PAUL J. HENDERSON

SimplyA Musing ger have the relaxed, unscripted, unplanned leave-’em-alone schedule to follow. It’s back to the grindstone for parents of school-aged kids. But for us newish parents, it is a whole new world sending our kids off into the hands of an “other.” Be it organized daycare, preschool or kindergarten in the school system, be it public or private, the day you send your children elsewhere for some systematic play/learning, interesting changes are immediate. Just how well the little ones are going to listen to and respect the authority of another adult can be a mystery. In our family, we have had occasional and informal daycare for more than two years for our girl. She attended the Strongstart programs on occasion at a school nearby, but her first foray into being left alone in an organized system began last week when the preschool program begun. And she loved it from the start. She seemed to know she was going to love it. This despite the fact that my little girl can be inter-

minably shy in certain situations. (The fact that two little girls who rank among her best friends also attend the class is something that likely made the transition easier.) Part of me wondered, however, just how well she would listen to the teacher—how well she would take direction. There is the new structure, a new place, new peers but, all imporantly, a new overseer other than my wife or me. What our little ones will make of new rules dictated from a new leader, we are never to know as parents. So what was it that she showed me from the fridge? It was a piece of paper that had been cut with scissors along black lines. It looked like a comb; presumably an exercise in hand-eye co-ordination. An exercise that made sense to me . . . but why the fridge? “My teacher said to go home and put it in the fridge.” “Are you sure she didn’t say ‘on’ the fridge?” “No!” was the adamant response. “She said in the fridge.” Before true, recognizable freethinking is evident in children, it’s hard to know if one’s offspring will emerge into sheeplike followers or rebellious free spirits . . . or what in between. Any concern I might have had about how well my little one takes direction is gone. She may have misheard the teacher, but she sure listened. What a smart girl.

ore than two-thirds of B.C. residents believe that road safety in school zones is worse when the kids are back in class. Seventy-eight per cent of British Columbians have seen someone speeding in a school zone. And four out of five drivers in this province think that drivers know the rules but break them anyway. Those statistics come from a BCAA school zone road safety survey, and few of the numbers are surprising. But another good question might be: How many of those respondents admit to speeding in school zones themselves? The speed limit in school zones is 30 kilometres an hour. As all drivers know, this is very, very slow. This posted speed limit in school zones is not in place to annoy or inconvenience drivers. The speed limit is that slow so drivers have the best possible chance of being able to stop very quickly in the unfortunate circumstance that a child (or a parent, for that matter) darts off the sidewalk or out from behind a parked car. School started last week, which means for the next 10 months, not only will the streets of Chilliwack be full of parents driving kids to school, the roads will be crawling with kids walking, running, cycling, skateboarding, scootering and otherwise moving around. School zones are small, and the reduction in speed will do virtually nothing to hinder drivers getting on with their days. Despite this, the statistics suggest that many of you are speeding through school zones. Far too often we, as media, have to report on a tragic accident where a child darted out in front of a car only to leave a mourning family in the wake. It will serve as no consolation to you if the child you just hit was in the wrong—that he jumped out from between two parked cars. It will not put your mind at ease that the child you just hit was nowhere near a crosswalk, or was clearly texting while he walked and paid no attention to the road in front of him. Please, just slow down.

Rezone it or else pay the proper industrial taxes

Editor: A land-use issue that was reported recently in the ChilliwackTimes should be of concern to all British Columbia citizens. The concern centres around a piece of vacant property located at the Progress Way Industrial Park in Chilliwack. It appears that in 2012, the owner fenced the industrial zoned property, imported several llamas for approximately one month, and received a tax re-assessment of land use to agriculture resulting in a reduction in property taxes of almost $150,000. The issues of concern are as follows: 1) Does the BC Assessment Authority have power under the Municipal Act to alter municipal zoning? 2) If, in fact, the land use has been altered from industrial to agricultural should this not also reflect a change in land-use zoning to agricultural use only? 3) Is it possible or even advisable for separate government agencies to have zoning authority? 4) Is agricultural livestock use permitted under industrial zoning? 5) If agriculture is not a permitted use under industrial zoning, would it not be the responsibility of the bylaw enforcement officer to enforce the existing zoning? 6) Does this incident mean that the BC Assessment Authority also has the power to usurp the powers of the bylaw enforcement officer? 7) How long should an agricultural use be in progress before it can be deemed agriculture? 8) If this is a permitted land use under industrial zoning,

would it then also be permitted to have intensive livestock such as mushrooms, poultry, dairy, etc. farmed on industrially-zoned property? The further one goes with this discussion, the more convoluted and ridiculous the alternatives become. Suffice it to say that it appears someone has found a questionable tax dodge. Shame on the BC Assessment Authority for allowing themselves to become ensnared in this type of activity. If this land owner truly wants to farm this property, the municipal council needs to have this land rezoned for agricultural use only and petition the Agricultural Land Commission to reinstate this property into the Agricultural Land Reserve. If he does not wish to farm this land he should pay the proper industrial taxes. Harry Van Hemert Chilliwack

Send out the call for peace Editor: As the memorial event commemorating the Battle of

Britain arrives once again, my thoughts turn to the sacrifices that Canadians and their families made to provide for the peace, security, and freedom that is taken for granted in our country. I am also moved to compare military efforts of the past to those of the current day. During the time of Battle of Britain, after a legal “Declaration of War,” Canadian pilots were asked to defend our country against a clear and present threat to our sovereignty. In the Libyan war of 2010, Prime Minister Harper barely had time to ask for Parliamentary consent before Canadian planes enforced a “No Fly Zone.” Never mind a threat to our sovereignty, NATO said we had to do it. So, our planes flew at least 800 bombing missions, largely unhindered by return fire, as they dropped approximately 4,000 bombs on civilians as well as military targets. Today our pilots could be asked to fly missions over Syria, as air support for rebel forces containing members of Al Qaeda. Aren’t we fighting Al Qaeda in Afghanistan? And, our planes could kill

even more innocents than the chemical weapons did. These calls to arms seem a far cry from the noble cause Canada responded to in the Second World War. A quick assessment of the U.S.’s proposal to attack Syria reveals a global military complex that is out of control. Using international treaties, they have removed most of the checks and balances of Parliamentary debate, and the will of the voters. Canadian politicians almost eagerly await the USA’s orders to begin bombing another sovereign nation that poses no threat. Meanwhile, Chilliwack voters still await a discussion on this topic hosted by our MP Mark Strahl. So as we thank those who suffered to give us our freedom, I propose that we use that freedom to require

that elected public servants watch out for Canada’s best interests, and allow us to participate in a rational discussion. The memorial of the Battle of Britain is a call to put a stop to the endless wars. It is a call for peace. Please send that message to Ottawa via Mr. Strahl. Gary Raddysh Chilliwack

LPNs deserve a lot of credit Editor: I read your article titled “Keeping Up With Demand” (Times, Aug. 8). I feel it puts Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) in an unfair light. My experience with LPNs as a patient at the Chilliwack Hospital has been very positive. My experience with LPNs

started in the emergency room after I was admitted. Not only did an LPN provide me with excellent care, she was also the one to discover that I was given a wrong IV antibiotic the night before (by a registered nurse). I was there for a chest infection but I had a complete work up from the nurse, from questions about my bowels and urine to if I was managing at home. In case people do not know LPNs have to start with two years of schooling and are skilled nurses. Saying we all need a nurse with a degree for our treatment or case is like saying we all need a heart surgeon for a family doctor. It is no wonder half of our total provincial budget goes to our health care budget. Edith Johnson Chilliwack

Sports FOOTBALL, from page 10 lost their first game of their season 13-12 in a hardfought battle with the Meadow Ridge Gold Knights. Down by seven with two minutes remaining, the Giants quarterback Kurtis Flynn found the end zone, but Chilliwack couldn’t convert the single point. The Giants offence showed improvement, with Flynn connecting with receiver Kaleb Spaner for a touchdown in the first quarter. The defence was led by Grayson Frick, Kaleb Reemeyer and Jaxson Wilkins. Peewee Red heartbroken The Peewee Red Giants also lost a heartbreaker to Meadow Ridge’s Blue Knights. The Giants got the game started on the right foot with a reverse play to Colman Hughes that bamboozled the Knights’ defence. Hughes ran 70 yards into the Meadow Ridge end zone to give the Giants an early 6-0 lead. The Knights tied the game in the second quarter after the Giants failed to capitalize on a couple of drives. Red Giants reasserted themselves in the third quarter thanks to an offensive line that helped push Jackson Saunders into the Meadow Ridge end zone and gave Chilliwack a late lead. The Giants’ offensive line

Minor Football was led by Jacob and Braden Dyck, while Mason Murphy provided outstanding play on the D-line. But with less than a minute to play, the Knights stormed down the field and converted their touchdown to claim the win. Jr. Bantam drop second game The Junior Bantam Giants dropped to 2-0 after a defeat to the Abbotsford White Falcons. The Giants defence allowed only a single touchdown, with the Falcons getting their other score on a fumble recovery. Cornerback Austin Kardux and halfback Josh Roos shut down the Falcons, while the defensive line of Jaiden Klassen, Justin Crooks and Tommy Helget shut down the inside run. Linebackers Nick Butler and Dustin Wutzke added a couple sacks. Running backs Hayden Oraschuk and Helaman Ochoa moved the ball for the Giants, while quarterback Colin Campbell connected several times with receiver Mattias Chand.

Bantam worn down The Giants Bantam squad fell 31-7 to a solid Langley Mustangs team. The Giants defence, led by linebackers Cam Lampart and Austin Penner and linemen Emerson Harvey and Chris Derksen, played hard all game. Offensively, the Giants had a number of opportunities to go up on the Mustangs but just seemed unable to capitalize. The offence had many highlights, with solid runs by tailback Karan Deol and fullback Cam Lampart. The Giants squad began to wear down as the game went on. In the fourth quarter the Giants continued to work and drove 60 yards down field, capped by a three-yard touchdown run by Lampart. Midget Giants shut out The Chilliwack Midget Giants ran into a hard-hitting Nanaimo Redman team and came up short, falling 14-0. A strong defensive effort kept the game close, with Brandon Tooke recording a sack and fumble recovery, while Paul Anghel and Raphael Olivares provided tough inside pressure, each recording a sack. The offence struggled to gain any momentum, but running back Steven Baker and receiver Keenan Godden each had strong games.

Invite others to speak words of truth BY GRAHAM MCMAHON Chilliwack Church of the Nazarene

few years ago, a friend of ours was babysitting our children and at bedtime our girls asked her to tell them a story about a princess. Our friend obliged and asked them which princess they would like to hear a story about. One of my daughters responded, “Awowa.” Having never heard of that princess, our friend asked, “Awowa?” To which both my daughters responded, “No, Awowa.” Again, our friend repeated, “Awowa?” “No,” responded my daughters, “Awowa!” Finally our friend figured it out,

“Oh, Aurora.” To which my daughters said, “Yes! Awowa!” The interesting thing about our girls not being able to pronounce their “Rs” as four-year-olds is that they thought they were actually saying them correctly. They were not able to hear that their “Rs” sounded like “W’s”. It is only when we repeated back to them what we heard, and showed them how to pronounce “Rs” properly, that they were able to begin to correct themselves (and we’re still working on it). When I think of this story, I am reminded of how important community is when it comes to growing in all areas of life. When it comes to friendship, marriage, dating,

parenting, managing our finances, growing in our faith, living a holistic healthy life, or helping others, unless we invite others into our lives to speak words of truth to us, then we can miss out on so much, or end up walking down paths that lead to brokenness and pain. If we are not open to the corrective words of others, we could very well go through life pronouncing our “Rs” like “Ws” and never know it. When Paul was writing to the Ephesians, he encouraged them to be wise, and after giving them a list of things they should do and not do in order to be wise, he finished with this: “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ” (5:21).

Paul ties reverence, or respect for God’s Son, to submitting to one another; even following Jesus is not an individual pursuit. It is quite possible to think we are following the way of Jesus, when in actuality we are not; our “Rs” might actually sound like “Ws” and we just don’t realize it. Paul is saying that to live a life that honours Jesus (which includes friendship, marriage, dating, parenting, etc.), we need to be willing to submit to each other. Notice that Paul says, “to one another.” Submission is a mutual practice, not a power play where we exert our will over someone else. It is a practice that requires mutual

Chiefs welcome back Shay Laurent $

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

familiar face is returning to the Chilliwack Chiefs’ blue line. When the team’s season ended last spring, Chiefs general manager and head coach Harvey Smyl said it would be hard to replace defenceman Shay Laurent, who was sent to Coquitlam as future considerations in the deal that brought sniper Philip Zielonka to Chilliwack. Now, Smyl has found someone to fill that Shay Laurent-sized hole: Shay Laurent. The Chiefs announced Tuesday that they had reacquired the 20-yearold defenceman from the Express in exchange for future considerations. The Chiefs released rookie D-man Michael Willms to make room for Laurent on the roster. Laurent played the previous two seasons for the Chiefs and was a key cog in their defence last year. He recorded 33 points and racked up 121 penalty min-

to the Chiefs. “I want to thank Barry Wolff and the Coquitlam Express for providing me the opportunity to go back to Chilliwack for my final season of junior hockey. My heart has always been with the Chiefs and I can’t wait to rejoin the club,” he said. Smyl was complimentary of Laurent’s off-ice demeanour: “Shay is the true definition of a Chilliwack Chief; he works hard, cares a lot about his teammates, never complains and is very humble.” There will be more moves to come, though. Laurent’s acquisition leaves the Chiefs with one too many 20-yearolds—although Tanner Cochrane is currently on the 30-day disabled list and does not count towards the limit of six such “over-age” players. If and when he returns, Smyl will have to move either Cochrane, Cooper Rush, Kiefer McNaughton, Andrew Silard or Mathieu Tibbet. The spot of 20-yearold goaltender Lyndon Stanwood is presumably safe.

UFV Cascades forward James Najman gets his head on the ball Friday in a Canada West game against Trinity Western University.

Promising start for UFV

he University of the Fraser Valley men’s soccer team had a weekend to remember, for all the right reasons. Not only did the Cascades take down the number-one team in the nation, with a 1-0 victory over the UBC Thunderbirds on Sunday, but they also put a halt to a unwelcome streak in the process. It was the first time in UFV school history that the Cascades beat the T’Birds—a streak that spanned 14 games. It was one of two streaks to fall on Sunday, as the Thunderbirds’ loss was their first in 27 games. The last UBC regular season loss in CIS or Canada West play came Nov. 6, 2011. “The guys followed the game plan and did everythingTom (Lowdnes) and I asked of them,” said Cascades head coach Alan Errington.

Connor MacMillan of Chilliwack scored the lone goal of the game, with only three minutes to play. “A complete team victory, I cannot be more proud of the team than I am right now,” said Errington. Sunday’s victory came on the heels of an opening-season, 2-1 loss to Trinity Western University on Friday. Ethan Claibourne-Collins of Chilliwack scored the lone Cascades goal in the loss. The Cascades’ 1-1-0 record after Week 1 leaves them in a four-way tie atop the CIS Pacific Division, along with TRU, UBC and Victoria. The Cascades travel to Winnipeg for a game Sept. 12 against the 0-2-1 (Canada West) University of Winnipeg Wesmen. – with files from UFV

David Ristow On July 15 of that year, Reinhardt and Ristow were asleep in the home they shared in Saskatoon’s Ctiy Park neighbourhood. Reinhardt, Allgood’s five-year-old son and Ristow’s two children were sleeping in other parts of the house. A patio door had been left open for the cats, according to Ristow who spoke to the Times in early 2012. Something startled him awake and he realized he was bleeding. “I just remember waking up and felt something and was soaking wet,” Ristow told the Times. “I didn’t know what it was until I went into the living room.” A homicide detective later told Ristow they’d both been struck by pellets fired from a 12-gauge shotgun, and the pellets remain inside him. R i s t ow, n ow 5 0 , w a s scheduled to take the stand Wednesday but the Crown told court that he was in hospital and would not be testifying. The trial began Monday and is scheduled to last two weeks.

MURDER, from page 4 that Allgood met Reinhardt, who was an employee of Xyolhemeylh Child and Family Services. The two would eventually have a child together, “a beautiful little boy,” according to a Sto: lo Nation employee. Things began to unravel when Reinhardt took their son to Saskatoon. Allgood told two local acquaintances that he wanted to follow her there to get access to his son. In summer 2006, he then quit or was fired from his job at Sto:lo Nation, packed up his things and went to Saskatoon.

Non-profits band together BY CHRISTINA TOTH ctoth@abbotsfordtimes.com

on-profit groups in the central Fraser Valley that regularly apply for community gaming grants, or such groups that would like to access them, are encouraged to come to a Sept. 14 information meeting on the issue at the Slots gaming centre in Abbotsford. Sports teams, service clubs, arts groups and other non-profit entities in Abbotsford, Mission and Chilliwack are welcome, said Art Villa, the facilitator for the relatively newly formed Fraser Valley Charitable Association. “If you’re eligible to receive a community gaming grant, membership [in the association] is free, so it’s to your advantage to join,” Villa said. Also any groups who used to belong to a bingo association in one of the three communities “are certainly encouraged to come back,” said Villa. New groups that have never applied are also invited. Previously, non-profit groups such as sports teams, arts groups or service clubs could raise money as members of bingo associations. As community gaming centres were formed about two years ago to replace

A21

bingo associations, member groups lost a go-between that could help them oversee grant applications —which many groups chose to fill out and pursue themselves. However, many volunteers may not be knowledgeable about application requirements or the various deadlines for the five various gaming grant categories, said Villa. In order to help non-profit groups access gaming funds, the province’s Gaming Policy Enforcement Branch responded by permitting the creation of local associations to be facilitators for non-profit groups. The Fraser Valley Charitable Association was formed last year. Villa, who was the Abbotsford Bingo Association manager from the late 1990s and who is currently the business development manager for Playtime Gaming Inc., now also serves as the FVCA’s facilitator. He will help groups get their gaming grant applications completed correctly and in for the proper deadline. ◗ The information meeting is Sept. 14 at 10:30 a.m., at Slots, 30835 Peardonville Rd., Abbotsford. For details and to register, contact Villa at 604-309-1481 or email fvccga@gmail.com.

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

Chilliwack artist Linda Phelps reaches for a porcelain painting tool in the studio of her heritage home in Downtown Chilliwack. A solo show featuring Phelps’s work is on at the Chambers Gallery at the Chilliwack Museum ((45820 Spadina Ave.) from Sept. 21 through Nov. 8.

BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

ot many Chilliwack artists can count a close-up in a major Hollywood movie among their accomplishments. But if you dig up a copy of the 1994 version of LittleWomen, you can see the work of local porcelain painter Linda Phelps fill the big screen for two glorious seconds in a scene showing Meg March (Trini Alvarado) painting a teacup. “It’s unheard of!” Phelps’s movie contacts told her of the lingering teacup close-up after the movie came out. A props buyer had found the Chilliwack artist at a porcelain show in Victoria, B.C., where the Victorian-era movie was being shot. Along with producing three identical, partially painted teacups (two extras in case of accidents) and several hand-painted porcelain plates, Phelps also loaned the production company some traditional porcelain-painting equipment—like her

Patience & porcelain Linda Phelps knows the virtue of taking her time crows-foot quill. The movie makers kept the teacups and plates, but Phelps soon got the brushes back, and she’s been busy with them ever since. This month, a collection of her work, both in porcelain and on canvas, will be on display at the Chambers Gallery in the Chilliwack Museum during a solo exhibition, titled Classic to Modern, running Sept. 21 through Nov. 8. It’s a fitting name for Phelps, who values connections to the past and works out of Wisteria Gallery, a studio in her 1910 heritage home on First Avenue in Downtown Chilliwack. “I really, truly feel that if we don’t know where we come from, we don’t know who we are or where society is

going,” she told theTimes. Preserving a link with the past was what first inspired Phelps to take up porcelain painting in 1983 when she was in her 30s. Her mother, also a porcelain painter, had died without finishing a bridge tea set she was working on for her daughter. “I wanted to finish the thing my mom was going to do for me,” Phelps said. The work has been a compulsion ever since, and the tea set has since passed to her son. A self-proclaimed later bloomer in the arts, Phelps only took up oil and watercolour painting because traveling with a kiln was impractical. At first, without knowing that porcelain painters in the past had done

the same, Phelps covered her canvases with images and patterns she could transpose onto porcelain later. But even when she started painting as an end in itself, the porcelain painter’s instincts lingered. “When I first started working on canvases, I started working them the same way I would work on a porcelain piece,” Phelps said. “Some of the early pieces that I did had a real glow to them. They were quite different.” One surviving piece in that style is a large canvas oil painting of red roses that will be part of the Chambers Gallery exhibit. Also featured will be free-form porcelain creations and jewelry. But Phelps’s first love is porcelain, with a special appreciation for European style, with its raised paste and

gold, and its rich colours. Unlike watercolour on paper, porcelain is a forgiving medium, Phelps said, but it takes a lot of patience, with a single piece sometimes requiring as many as five or six firings. The process has sometimes tried her patience in the past, but after touring the Sevres Porcelain factory in France recently, Phelps gained a whole new perspective on what patience means when it comes to her chosen medium. “I’m never going to get upset about how long it takes me to do anything ever again,” she said. “This lady was telling us that one plate with three cartouches on it and one centre piece took a month for one person to do…We want instant mashed potatoes with everything, and it’s just not the way life is.” ◗ The Chambers Gallery (45820 Spadina Ave.) is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Classic to Modern opens with a reception Saturday, Sept. 21 from noon to 2 p.m. Bring a friend and meet the artist.

“Performance is my passion,” Naked has said. “I owe it to myself and my beautiful fans to keep evolving and pushing the boundaries.” Her amazing ability to slide easily between her punk roots, rock, pop, alternative, and contemporary music are clearly visible on the platinum-selling album I Bificus as well as the gold albums Purge and Superbeautifulmonster. Fraser Valley band Tarl will open up for Naked. The group is charting in Canada, the U.S., Germany, Japan and Italy. ◗ Bif Naked performs with Tarl on Sept. 27 at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre, 9201 Corbould St. Tickets are $47.50 (plus facility fee and service charges) available at Centre Box Office. Charge by phone at 604-391-7469 or online at www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca. Doors open at 7 p.m., show starts at 7:30 p.m.

rom her beginnings as an orphan in India, to her present life as a celebrated performing artist, and breast cancer survivor, Bif Naked has led an innovative, revolutionary and inspiring life. She churned her way through increasingly hardcore bands Jungle Milk, Gorilla Gorilla, Chrome Dog and Dying To Be Violent to stardom as a solo diva. Seamlessly flowing between many mediums of creative work, and so obviously enjoying an artistic existence, Naked has produced such notable tracks as “Moment of Weakness,” “I Love Myself Today,” “Tango Shoes,” “Nothing Else Matters,” “We Are The Lucky Ones,” “Let Down” and “Spaceman,” which made Canadian history with its number one position on national charts and number two position on Billboard’s International Charts, making it the highest-spun independent song in Canadian history.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Tuesday, September 24, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. Council Chambers 8550 Young Road, Chilliwack, B.C. V2P 8A4 www.chilliwack.com

TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the City of Chilliwack will hold a Public Hearing, as noted above, on the following items: 1. ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENT BYLAW 2013, No. 3902 (RZ000807)

2. ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENT BYLAW 2013, No. 3954 (RZ000809) Location:

5250 Goldspring Place

Owner:

Gold Spring Heights Development Ltd.

Purpose:

To amend the Land Use Plan of the CD-1 (Comprehensive Development -1) Zone to remove the requirement for a secondary vehicular access road to Sylvan Drive, on the subject property, as shown on the map below.

Locations:

9785, 9777, 9763 and 9755 Oak Street; 46015 Bonny Avenue and 9772 Young Road

Owners:

Pearl Clawson, Dustin Enns, Debra Bond, Norman Holbeche, Lorraine Huebner, and Seventh-Day Adventist Church (British Columbia Conference)

Purpose:

To rezone the subject properties, as shown on the map below from an R1-A (One Family Residential) Zone to a P1 (Civic Assembly) Zone, an R3 (Small Lot One Family Residential) Zone, an R1-C (One Family Residential – Accessory) Zone and an R1-D (Inﬁll Small – Lot One Family Residential) Zone.

LOCATION MAP

The subject application is to facilitate the future expansion of the existing Chilliwack Adventist Church Christian School facility located at 46015 Riverside Drive. The proposed rezoning will allow for future subdivision and consolidation of a portion of the subject properties to create a single large P1 zoned property approximately 0.46ha in area to be utilized for future school uses. The remaining portions of the subject properties are to be rezoned to single family residential zones to permit continued existing residential uses or future inﬁll residential development. In summary the proposal is essentially to create: • a single large (0.463ha) P1 zoned lot for expansion of the existing school; • two R-3 zoned lots to contain two existing single family dwellings; • three R1-D zoned lots to facilitate future residential inﬁll development; and; • two R1-C zoned lots to retain two existing dwellings with the ability to construct a single Accessory Dwelling Unit within each lot. LOCATION MAP
