A matter of safety
Dogwood housing approved
Council wants more time on dangerous crosswalks
Council votes on best use of land, not ‘incidental’ Luckakuck Creek
BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

hilliwack city council chose to defer a decision to install fullstop pedestrian signals at two contentious and dangerous crosswalks on Vedder Road on Tuesday. Staff recommended—supported by Mayor Sharon Gaetz—that the crosswalks on Vedder at Storey Avenue and Wells Road be upgraded due to safety issues and “frequent resident complaint.” There have been periodic pedestrian-vehicle crashes at the crosswalks, the most recent reported was in January when an elderly woman was struck on Vedder at Storey. Gaetz said when she used to work at the church office nearby, she saw close calls every week at Storey. As mayor she said she has been contacted by many concerned parents of kids who attend Sun Hang Do martial arts studio, which is located in the former Forester’s Hall on the east side of Vedder at the location of one crosswalk. Sun Hang Do owner Adam Gibson said not only has he heard close encounters from students, he’s nearly been hit twice himself. “Every time I cross the crosswalk it is always a hairy situation as I have to wait usually a couple minutes for people to actually stop,” he told the Times via email. “Then I have to slowly go across, checking each lane to make sure that every lane is coming to a stop. I am a very focused individual from practising martial arts for the past 13 years and I have to be intently focused every single time I cross because people simply See CROSSWALKS, Page 7

ity council gave the green light to a Sardis development on the headwaters of Luckakuck Creek despite overwhelming opposition from dozens of neighbours. The battle between area residents and developer Larry Les has lasted months but finally ended Tuesday evening after council approved his downgraded proposal for single family homes on three properties on Dogwood Drive. Council rezoned the three properties to allow for between 31 and 41 single family homes. Les’s first plan for a townhouse development was held EB IRST at third reading in July. He sub- First reported on sequently pulled chilliwacktimes.com that plan and submitted the new one with single family homes. The issue over Luckakuck Creek dominated the discussion about the proposed development. The creek currently runs north of Stevenson and is home to salamanders, frogs, Salish suckers and both coho and chum salmon. South of Stevenson there has been a dispute whether or not the creek exists at all. Les says it doesn’t and city hall has called it a “wetted depression” or an “ephemeral”

Community support services and outreach staff have made Earlene Thomson feel safe and at home at the Chilliwack Health and Housing Centre.

BY SHARRON HO Chilliwack Times
Long road for Health Contact Centre
fter being stalled by challenges like funding woes and public opposition, an opening ceremony was held for the Chilliwack Health and Housing Complex, also known as the Health Contact Centre, on Oct. 16. Dignitaries, stakeholders and housing residents came together to celebrate the development, which has been eight years in the making. Earlene Thomson, 45, was the fourth resident admitted to the centre and has been living there for about one month. Struggling with drug addiction and homelessness throughout her entire life, Thomson said support services offered at the centre and outreach staff have made her finally feel at home and given her a new start in life.
“This is my home and I didn’t have the Pacific Community Resources Socithis and I wouldn’t have this if it ety (PCRS). A broad range of community support wouldn’t be for this place,” Thomson services like addictions counselling and said, as she held back tears. “I’d be out there in the cold, and the life skills programming are available winter’s coming.

local man faces numerous charges after Chilliwack RCMP found drugs, a prohibited gun and point-of-sale terminals at the Trader’s Inn downtown. On Oct. 5, members of the Chilliwack RCMP Drug Section and Property Crime Unit executed a search warrant at a unit in the hotel in the 45900 block of Yale Road. The raid was in response to numerous complaints of drug trafficking from the unit. A 32-year-old male and a 23-year-old female were taken into custody. A search of the unit resulted in a seizure of heroin and methamphetamine, cash and various tools used in trafficking drugs. Also seized was a prohibited weapon—a sawed-down rifle resembling a handgun, along with stolen point-of-sale terminals. These terminals are often stolen for reading credit cards and obtaining personal credit card data. “A common trend observed in the execution of drug warrants is the recovery of stolen property which is traded in exchange for drugs,” said RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Kurtis Bosnell. Jeremy Commodore was held in custody and has been charged with two counts of possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking, two counts of possessing a firearm contrary to a firearms prohibition order, unauthorized possession of a prohibited weapon and one count of breach of probation. The female was released from custody and is scheduled to appear in court Jan. 7.

R
ight after going through the long and extremely expensive process of adopting a beautiful baby boy from Florida last year, Natalie Bilson was diagnosed with terminal cancer. The cancer then moved from her breasts to her liver and she was given very little time to live by doctors. She has since taken up a treatment—that seems to be working so far—which is not covered and costs $1,400 a week. With her life savings spent, months of therapy ahead of her and, to add to it all, her husband gone, she is left to try to care for her
three children, including her adopted baby Lucas. Now friends and local businesses are working hard to help Bilson out with fighting the cancer and building a new life. This Sunday Jim’s Pizzeria and Spaghetti House is hosting a fundraising night (which is sold out) and Chilliwack tattoo artist Tattoos by Michele (also sold out) is doing tattoos to raise money for Bilson. (Another tattoo fundraiser day may be in the works.)

That consultant’s report based the decision on low usage of the intersections, something that could be attributed to just how dangerous they are. So-called rectangular rapid-flashing beacons (RRFB) were considered as a less expensive alternabut RRFBs are not yet EB IRST tive, approved devices for use in First reported on Canada. chilliwacktimes.com Sanderson said the “regulatory requirement” to stop at a full-stop pedestrian crossing eliminates doubt and is well understood by all. But Couns. Jason Lum and Ken Huttema suggested two more full stops on Vedder— which sees 30,000 vehicles pass per day— might not be such a good thing. “What I’m wondering is what would that do to Vedder, on a major traffic corridor,” Lum said, adding that he thought maybe the crosswalk at Storey should be removed given its proximity to the intersection at Knight. Lum made a motion to defer the matter to be looked at closer by the Transportation Advisory Committee and so that a traffic study could be completed. Huttema agreed. “Vedder Road is a main thoroughfare,” he said. “If we put in too many crosswalks in, driver fatigue or driver anger [could come if]

Thermafrax Q & A TM
Question: What is Thermafrax™ Answer:
Thermafrax™ treatment is a
revolutionary combination of 2 gold standard treatments; Thermage™ and Fraxel™. This treatment produces skin tightening plus skin rejuvenating. Doing them together creates even better results! These are non- surgical treatments and they help correct the most significant signs of aging: sagging skin, wrinkles, skin texture and pigmentation. The Thermage™ portion of the treatment uses radio frequency to safely heat the deeper layers of our skin which in turn stimulates existing collagen. The Fraxel™ laser uses pinpoint laser beams that penetrate beneath the skins surface to eliminate damaged skin cells and stimulates the body’s natural healing process.

he army is coming, the army is coming! And (as usual in Canada) that’s a very good thing. On Oct. 26, at 1 p.m., the City of Chilliwack will be granting the ancient privilege of “The Freedom of the City” (FOC) to three different military units, including the Royal Westminster Regiment. In Roman times, and through much of European history, the FOC was given by local governments only to military units who had earned the trust of local citizens. Failing to secure the FOC meant soldiers often had to camp outside the city limits, and for sure they weren’t allowed to bear arms! The FOC is still considered a high honour today, and truly represents an understanding and mutual respect between military and civilian authorities In the Canadian context, our military serves all Canadians in several important roles. Certainly in their stereotypical role, preparing to defend the country means they train endlessly to be combat ready. After all, by the time the bullets are flying or a threat materializes, it’s a little late to think about readying the troops. In Chilliwack, however, we’re more likely to see the military in its other, equally important role: aid to the civil authority. Helping civilians in time of disaster is another honoured tradition. The Royal Westminster Regiment (affectionately known as the ‘Westies’) are active throughout The County, which stretches from New Westminster to Boston Bar. They have a storied history in Chilliwack and the valley. A company of The Regiment was stationed in Chilliwack as far back as 1910, and in the Great Flood of ’48 Westies
CHUCK STRAHL
Be Our Guest played a prominent role in helping save lives, property and land in the Lower Mainland. That kind of aid, where the military is called upon to form the backbone or nerve centre for the massive mobilization necessary to combat a large-scale disaster—think of Calgary’s recent flood efforts as an example—is another reason why our Armed Forces are held in such high regard by Canadians. Because this is the year The Royal Westminster Regiment celebrates 150 years of service ‘Pro Rege et Patria” (the Regimental motto means ‘for King and Country’), the unit is being honoured within the communities they live, work and serve in. Certainly, the Westies are proud of their traditional military role (they have served with distinction in every war Canada has been involved in, including sending 140 troops to serve in Afghanistan). They speak with reverence about the men and women from the unit who have received citations, awards and decorations for bravery throughout their history. And so they should. We all stand in awe when we read about the deeds of these recipients, including the two Westies who received the highest decoration—the Victoria Cross. The Westies are also proud of their actions and the people here and now, within the County itself.
They’re proud of the cadets who train and learn leadership and citizenship all over the valley. Their strength is the reservists who hold down full-time civilian jobs but still complete the training to qualify for military duty and promotion. Always there is effort to support the regimental family—both active and veteran members—as well as those who preserve the traditions and historical artifacts in their museum and in their association. The Westies have long been associated with Chilliwack and the Fraser Valley, and it’s easy enough to look back on 150 years of service to see examples. The recent decision to (re)establish them as one of the anchor military units at the Armoury in Chilliwack will cement that relationship even further. The motion from city council, instituting the Freedom of the City, gives the regiment the right to parade with “drums beating, colours flying, and bayonets fixed”. It is another fine honour bestowed on the Westies, and the city knows that if ever they need their help, for whatever reason, they can count on The Royal Westminster Regiment to do its part. The public is urged to come out and watch the ceremony at the Old City Hall, Oct. 26, at 1 p.m. Don’t be surprised when the soldiers march past with bayonets fixed. These men and women are simply being acknowledged as some of Canada’s finest people, who serve their country and their community with distinction. ◗ Former MP Chuck Strahl is the Honorary L. Col. of The RoyalWestminster Regiment.
hilliwack city council’s approval of a rezoning application Tuesday might have surprised many as neighbourhood opposition to the plan was near universal. Fifty-six people signed a petition against the 30-to-40 single family home development to be located on three Dogwood Drive properties. A large number of residents from Dogwood and who live on Luckakuck Creek came to council to express opposition, which was in some cases tempered, in others fervent. But the six city councillors (Mayor Sharon Gaetz was not present and lives on Dogwood) approved the development, seemingly rejecting concerns of residents. After hours of hearing opposition to the plan based on increased traffic and downstream damage to Luckakuck Creek, Coun. Sue Attrill even said she “wholeheartedly” supported the rezoning. And while many, most, maybe all of the neighbours’ concerns are valid, it really shouldn’t come as a surprise this highly prodevelopment council voted the way it did. But pro-development or not, Chilliwack is growing quickly. The city’s Official Community Plan looks to densify many areas of the city, not just downtown. The populated area of Chilliwack is shaped a little like a sausage, pinched in on all sides by farmland protected—as it should be—by the ALR. More people are coming to Chilliwack and they will need places to live. Development can do one of three things: go on ALR, go into the hillsides or densify. The first option is pretty much a nonstarter. The second is expensive, but many developers are doing precisely that. And densification, especially inside the sausage, is key to the future of Chilliwack’s growth. It would grossly oversimplify things to suggest NIMBYism was at work among neighbours Tuesday. There are legitimate concerns that developer Larry Les better address with regards to the natural environment in the area. But residents everywhere should take note: Densification is coming—everywhere.

A stonger voice needed
Editor: An open letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Jeremy Giesbrecht, president, Chilliwack Conservative Party; c/o M.P. Mark Strahl. I have been meaning to write this letter for some time in response to Mr. Giesbrech’s letter to me dated Dec. 17, 2012. As a life-time Conservative—and one of the original members of the Reform Party—I am quite concerned about some things that are happening and others that are being ignored by the Harper government. Please understand that I am in contact with veterans all across Canada almost on a daily basis through the NATO Veterans Organization and that thoughts I am about to express are shared by most of them.
Governor General’s Volunteer Service Medal or GGVSM: The letter of Dec. 17 advises that I should contact the office of the Secretary of the GG for any discussions around new medals. All veterans know the procedure for new medals. What we do not understand is why, after having the GGVSM brought up in the House of Commons many times, that only a few MPs supported the proposal.

How do you think you would feel if you have joined the military, served 10 years in Canada, then returned to civilian life, and have nothing to show that you were ever in the armed forces. Don’t you think you would feel hurt by not having one medal that showed you volunteered to serve your country no matter why or where Canada sent you. But, because you stayed in Canada, this country does not thank you for your volunteered service. I notice that the Governor General wears military medals yet never served in our armed forces. I have no respect for a commander-in-chief who wears medals he did not earn but even he should have a volunteer medal now that he is the head of our armed forces.
Mark Strahl, coming from an area populated with many military personnel, should have been one of the first to stand in the House and promote the volunteer medal. By not doing so, he let us all down badly. New Veterans Charter: It is shameful that our government allowed their lawyers in the B.C. Supreme Court to compare veterans injured or wounded in action to that of WCB claimants. What a sorry state that veterans have to go to court to fight for the same equality and fairness that other Canadians are granted without question. Can you believe we have a Provincial Supreme

Bertram named top collegiate golf coach
Both men’s and women’s team fighting for national titles BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com
U
niversity of the Fraser Valley (UFV) Cascades golf coach Chris Bertram has had a good, even great, men’s team on his hands for a number of years. So with this year’s number one PACWEST ranking for not only those men but also the brand new women’s team, it won’t come as a big surprise that he’s been named the top collegiate golf coach in the country. Bertram and his PACWEST winning men and women are in Quebec this week for the national championships (Oct. 15 to 18) where he was handed the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association (CCAA) 2013 golf coach of the year. “Chris is a phenomenal guy who’s done a great job developing his program,” said Albert Roche, CCAA golf convenor in a statement.

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

Grand National crowns 2013 BMX champions More than 500 entries fromB.C. Ontario, & Alberta and nearly 300 from the U.S.
T
he 2013 BMX Canada Grand National was held last weekend at Heritage Park, with more than 800 total entries converging for the final BMX Canada event of 2013. More than 500 entries were from the provinces of British Columbia, Ontario, and Alberta, and nearly 300 entries were from 13 states throughout the United States. “We were very pleased with the turnout,” said Brad Hallin, senior track director. “The BMX Canada Grand National continues to grow and has become the premier event of the year for BMX racers in Canada.” Mayor Sharon Gaetz was on hand to welcome the crowd to the City of Chilliwack. Members of Tourism Chilliwack were also on hand and noted that all hotels were full and restaurants were calling in extra staff to deal with the participants and families that had traveled for the event.
BMX racing began Friday and concluded with the Grand National on Sunday. With titles up for grabs in classes ranging from five-andunder, to 61-and-over, the competition was exciting throughout the weekend. YESS BMX, the tours presenting sponsor, had great representation at the event and walked away with four titles. The YESS team won the Factory Team title and had individual titles captured by three of their riders. In the professional class, James Palmer (North Vancouver) captured the overall title, but it was the “Mini Cooper” Kristian Cooper (Grants Pass, Ore.) who would capture the top spot on the podium both Saturday and Sunday. Palmer and his YESS bicycle were on the podium each day to claim the title of BMX Canada #1 Pro. With YESS BMX capturing the overall factory team title and the professional title, Canadian Bike Supply captured the Bike Shop title. In addition, 10-year-old Teigen Pascual (Garibaldi Heights) captured the overall girls title as the top BMX Canada girl amateur. In the Girls Cruiser class, it was YESS BMX rider, Drew Mechielsen (Langley) who would stand on the top spot of the 15- to 16- Girls Cruiser class each day to win the title of BMX Canada #1 Girls Cruiser. ◗ For more information on BMX Canada and individual results from the weekend, visit bmxcanada.org.

We are all works of art in God’s eyes
BY SHAWN VANDOP Promontory Ministries
O
ne of the most common statements that I hear people say is, “I have a problem!” I can’t tell you how many people walk into my office with that as their opening line. We want solutions. We want answers. We want to be fixed. So naturally that’s how many people approach God. They believe that God has the solution to their problems. But here’s the thing—you are not a problem that
God is trying to solve. God does not see you as a problem. In fact, nowhere in the Bible will you find God referring to people as problems. What the Bible does say is that you “. . . are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago” (Ephesians 2:10). Did you catch how God sees you? Go ahead, read it again. You are His masterpiece. You are his work of art. Art is very different than math. Math is all about solutions. Math is all about coming to a conclusion. Math is
always about solving a problem. Art however is expressive and creative. Art is meant to be put on display which is why art shows tend to be more successful than math shows. Art is not something you solve. Problems are for solving but art is about shaping and forming and making. That’s what God wants to do with you. He’s more concerned about shaping you than fixing you. Now before you embrace this truth make sure you understand that as beautiful as art can be it can be a painful and ugly process. Art takes time to form and when
it comes to letting Jesus shape you, you have to be willing to give him your life. That means he gets the real you. All that stuff that you hide from everyone else. Your hurt, your issues, your pain, your secrets, your sin—all of it. Everything! Jesus wants it all. It’s all those things that God uses as his canvas to create something beautiful with and in your life. But it’s not a quick fix. Art takes time. If you’re not willing to let God shape you, you’ll never have the joy of seeing the masterpiece he wants to create with your life. It’s never what we expect but always better than what we

It’s constantly being formed and in the end it’s more beautiful than you ever thought it would be. So next time you need a solution in your life instead of praying “God solve me” why not pray “God shape me.” Then stand back and watch the artist do his work. ◗ Shawn is a pastor at Promontory Ministries.

Poor weekend for UFV

he Chilliwack Chiefs’ woes continued on the weekend as the local boys blew a 4-1 lead after 54:29 of hockey to lose to the visiting Vernon Vipers 5-4. Goalie Lyndon Stanwood was solid for most of the game turning away 19 of the 20 shots he faced in the first two periods. It was in that second frame that the Chiefs hit hard with 15 shots on net, three of them beating Viper goalie Danny Todosychuk, including a power play marker at 3:41 by Carter Cochrane from Kiefer McNaughton and Ben Butcher. T.J. Roche then scored at 13:43 from Austin Plevy and Butcher, and the score went to 41 on a Kurt Black marker at 18:24 assisted by Cochrane and Jake Hand. But the Vipers then exploded for three goals in four minutes and nine seconds in the third, tying the game at 4-4 at 18:38. They’d go on to win on a Jason Bird goal at
Paul J. Henderson/TIMES - file
Austin Plevy was named first star in the Chiefs 5-4 loss to Vernon at Prospera Saturday.
3:09 of the overtime frame. The loss, along with a 4-1 loss in Vernon, puts the Chiefs’ record at 1-7-1-1 with 10 games played. Things won’t get any easier as they were scheduled to face the 9-3-0-1 Rivermen in Langley Wednesday after the Times went to press. The Chiefs then hit the island for a Saturday night tilt against the 6-7-0-1 Cowichan Valley Capitals and Sunday they play the 6-51-0 Victoria Grizzlies.
he University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) Cascades soccer teams failed to score any wins over Thanksgiving weekend. In a critical battle for Canada West playoffs, the UFV Cascades women’s soccer team tied the University of Regina Cougars, 2-2, last Saturday in Chilliwack. The tie moves Chilliwack ahead of Regina in the final standings as nine teams vy for eight postseason berths. Early on, the Cougars controlled the play and UFV goaltender Kayla Klim made several saves to keep the match scoreless. Regina kept the pressure on and scored their first goal at the 17th minute. Motivated, UFV evened the score with a goal 15 minutes later. The Cascades continued to pressure the Cougars and scored a second goal on a 35-yard shot by Tristan Corneil shortly afterwards. In the second half, Regina switched goalkeepers, shutting UFV out in the second half. The Cougars ended up tying the match midway through the half, and the rest of the game was played in the middle of the pitch. Both teams had shots, but no real opportunities, to score a winning goal.
UFV currently sports a 3-4-3 record. The UFV Cascades men’s soccer team lost both matches last weekend, falling 2-0 to the University of Alberta Golden Bears, on Saturday, and 2-0 to the University of Saskatchewan Huskies on Sunday. Both games were away from home. During a breakdown of UFV defence on Saturday, Golden Bears midfielder Mohamed Teliani received a perfect pass and blasted a 25-yard shot past UFV goaltender Arturo Ortiz to give Edmonton a one-goal lead at the 22nd minute. The Golden Bears continued to control the second half, and earned a second goal at the 72nd minute of the match. On Sunday against the Saskatchewan Huskies, UFV’s back four and veteran goaltender Mark Village were at the top of their game as they shutout the Huskies in the first half. The more experienced Huskies owned the second half, as they outshot UFV 11 to five. Their hard work paid off with a goal in the 54th minute and an insurance goal in the 88th minute. The Cascades record fell to 4-7-1, and they still hold the third and final playoff spot in the Pacific Division.

Letters LETTERS, from page 9
Veterans Bill of Rights: It is ludicrous that our government is willing to “send in the troops” to specific missions in support of our civil powers but, when the troops return—some maimed and permanently injured—that our government spends millions of taxpayers dollars trying to tell veterans that their rights mean nothing. That is no way to treat veterans because that same government has a moral and social obligation to Canadian veterans. Fairness: After serving eight years in the military I now wonder why I had to put in many, many hours of overtime but received no pay for that overtime. If you tried that with a government civil servant you would have a strike on your hands. Military personnel sacrifice a lot for Canada but get no extra pay for extra work and then get little respect from their employer once their job is done. Does not seem fair to me. There are a few things passed by the Harper government that are good and appreciated. Things like the Community War Memorial Program and the expansion of the Veterans Independence Program. However, even this falls short because it is only for Second World War and Korean veterans. You never hear our government mention peacetime veterans. For example, I served in France from 1956 to 1960 which was dangerous because France and Algeria were at war with one another and there were about sixty thousand Algerians living in our area. I witnessed many shootings and, in fact, one evening while driving home from work, had bullets hit my vehicle. There
Letters has never been any consideration given to us “peacetime” veterans and veteran’s organizations do not give us a second thought. Conclusion: When we vote an MP into office we expect him or her to consult with the people
the best way to save money would be to leave the MPs and senators in their home ridings and never bring them to Ottawa. I am not suggesting that Mark Strahl fits this pattern, but so that he never sinks to that level, should be reminded that people like myself often think this way. I had expected Mark to be more forceful when it came to serving veterans and am sad this has not happened. Perhaps letters such as this might compel him to have a second look at what an MP

More political than ‘expert’ Editor: Thank you Art Daher for giving us your “expert” opinion on climate change. Www.c3headlines.com is an anonymous, opinionated average person-pundit who primarily reports on, and sometimes analyzes/investigates climate science issues
that the traditional mainstream press fails to report on or misrepresents. On the political spectrum, C3 is of libertarian/conservative nature, favouring a strong defence, conservative fiscal policies, libertarian social policies and possessing, in general, “a-smaller-government-isa-better-government attitude.” Hmmmm?

Court being told of the discrimination within the New Veterans Charter for Canadian Veterans who must challenge things that were supposed to assist them and their families. This “insurance” mentality of deny, deny, in hopes they die, must stop. Lump sum payments to wounded veterans also must stop. What “brain” in government came up with that scheme? I guess anyone dealing with Veterans Affairs should take a lawyer with them. This is so sad and will cost the Conservatives in the next federal election.

However, far too many MPs do virtually nothing for the majority of taxpayers, but a great deal for a number of select lobbyists, and for themselves. Far too many elected officials, by sheer methodical persistence, complete lack of initiative, and not stepping on the toes of others, get promoted to ever higher levels of incompetence.

Most theatre students will be featured in UFV stage productions more than once during their time at UFV, but they are also expected to contribute to the Making sure every prop has its place, assistant stage manager (props) Sarah Kopan is getting a career toehold through UFV’s Theatre program.

Full house for Fowler
Former al Qaeda prisoner Bob Fowler spoke to a standing-room-only crowd during his President’s Lecture Series presentation Oct. 2. Fowler was the Foreign Policy Advisor to PMs Trudeau, Turner, and Mulroney, Deputy Minister of National Defence, and Canada’s longest serving Ambassador to the UN. While acquitting a mission as the UN’s Special Envoy to Niger, Fowler and his colleague, Louis Guay, were captured at gunpoint on Dec 14, 2008, sleeping and eating alongside their captors while hostages in the Sahara Desert until being released on Apr 21, 2009. In 2011, Fowler published A Season in Hell: My 130 Days in the Sahara with al Qaeda. For more UFV stories, visit ufvtoday.ca.

Last couple married MINTER, from page 1
picturesque final weekend before it closed Monday. “It’s the seventh anniversary of our first date. We met on Friday the 13th,” joked Bill, joined by a large group of wedding guests. “It’s our lucky number. We’re going to Vegas and let it ride on number 13.” The Youngs were the last in a long line of couples to choose the meticulously manicured garden property —now up for sale—to spread their wedding joy. “It’s just an honour to be the last after the thousands of weddings that have happened here,” said Bill. “My grandfather Jim Young built many of the buildings here, so there’s that family connection.” Amanda’s special day was also sunny and warm—a fitting, picture perfect way to start a marriage. “We had chosen to get married here. Then they phoned to tell us they were closing,” said Amanda. “We decided to carry on. It’s a beautiful place.” But keeping the place beautiful was also a lot for the Minter family to look after, along with the nearby 18-acre Country Garden Store that will remain open even after the gardens property finds a buyer. “We’ve been very busy making sure all our commitments are met,” said Lisa Minter-Bustin, whose father Brian Minter first opened the gardens in 1980. “What’s been truly amazing is the outpouring of affection—cards and letters and emails and phone calls. We’re just so encouraged by all the goodwill and support.” The garden’s future is in doubt. Presumably someone willing to buy the property will also want to turn at least part of it into housing. “There are a lot of question marks right now,” said Minter-Bustin. “That’s not our skill set— developing the property.” As she walked the grounds, many visitors approached her, some with thanks, some with regrets, some with sadness, but all appreciative of the decades the gardens has been a lovingly cared for refuge from fast-paced urban living. The family announced the closure in June, so with time the shock of selling has subsided. “It’s been tough,” admitted Minter-Bustin. “I was five when we bought the property, and my kids have been born and raised here. “We’ve had a number of months to think about it, so it’s not so difficult any more. “What I’ll remember most is that the people who come here are just cool people.”

Fight blight by keeping your tomato plants dry
Q: We had terrible blight on our tomatoes this year so I ended up throwing out lots of little tomatoes. Does blight affect pole beans as wel, or any other vegetables? What can be done about it so that we don’t have the same problem next year? Heidi Naman Email A: Pole beans don’t get blight. But potatoes do. The last two summers have been so warm and dry it’s been easy to harvest good crops of potatoes. But in a normal year with sporadic rain, many potato plants have blight by the beginning of August. Peppers can get late blight, but usually don’t. Eggplants are also said to be susceptible. Blight is a fungal infection which blows into gardens on rainy winds or splashes up from infected soil. It thrives on wet foliage. That’s why the usual advice is to grow tomatoes
ANNE MARRISON
Green Thumb under cover: in greenhouses, or outside under polyethylene tunnels or under south or west wall roof overhangs. Keeping tomato plants dry definitely stops blight and enables you to grow most any tomato you wish, including heritage varieties. But not everyone has cover available. People with no shelter for tomatoes can get good harvests outside by growing blight-resistant tomatoes. When their roots are in natural soil, tomatoes grow fast and produce massive crops. The oldest blight-resistant variety is the large-fruited ‘Legend’ which is sometimes sold as a transplant in

garden centres. Breeding of blight-resistant tomatoes is conventional (not GMO). This and the newer blightresistant varieties can be grown from seed. Gardeners who start their own transplants can harvest big crops of tomatoes by summer’s end. Blight on these varieties starts very late and moves very slowly. Blight-resistant varieties I grew this year include the cherry tomato ‘Mountain Magic’ the paste type ‘RomaVF’ and the beefsteak type ‘Defiant.’ Only recently have these seeds become commercially available and not everyone has been offering them. This year I bought mine online from Veseys (www.veseys. com). Grown outside, tomatoes are somewhat later to ripen, but quantities are immense and with blightresistant tomatoes the plants are still producing when See MARRISON, Page 24

With planning, growing pumpkins at home easy
Y
ear after year, families make the trek to farm stands and nurseries in rural areas to purchase pumpkins. There among the vines and soil, each person is on the hunt for the perfect pumpkin to turn into pie or to carve into a gaptoothed jack-o’-lantern. But what if you only had to venture as far as your backyard for the ideal autumn pumpkin? It’s possible when you plan ahead and sow the seeds of your very own pumpkin patch. Pumpkins are a long-season fruit that requires some advanced soil prep work and planning to ensure a bountiful crop. Pumpkins come in hundreds of varieties of all shapes and sizes. Pumpkins belong to the cucurbita family and come in three main categories. Cucurbita moschata pumpkins belong to a group of mainly squashes that are usually used commercially for canned pumpkins. Cucurbita pepo pumpkins are the ones typically carved on Halloween. Cucurbita maxima are the giant pumpkins that show up at state fairs and other vegetable and fruit-growing contests. To begin a pumpkin patch, find an area of the yard that gets full sunlight. The soil should have a slightly acidic soil from 6.0 to 6.8 pH. Pumpkins prefer a light, rich soil that drains well. Till the soil and amend it with compost to ensure it is rich in nutrients. Pumpkins can be started indoors from seeds during the early spring. However, if you plan to put seedlings into the ground, be sure to do so when the first frost is over
and the soil is 15 C. The temperature during the day should average 21 C. Be sure to space pumpkins far apart from one another and dig them in deep. Leave at least a few feet of space because vines can grow quite long and pumpkins can get large. Pumpkins are mostly water and need a lot to grow, so test the soil’s moisture levels every day. Only add water when it is needed. Deep but infrequent watering results in healthier plants. Keep water off of the leaves, and water the pumpkins in the morning instead of late in the evening. This can prevent the onset of fungal diseases. It is also adviseable to plant sunflowers next to pumpkins to attract the pests that may normally thrive on the pumpkins. Beetles, aphids and squash bugs are common and can damage the crop. When the shell of the pumpkin has hardened and is no longer easily dented, it is usually ready for harvesting. The vine also may begin to thin and whither. If a pumpkin is large but not quite ready, place boards under the pumpkin to keep it from rotting on the ground. Cut stems on the long side, and never carry around the pumpkin by the stem. It can break and cause the pumpkin to rot prematurely. Reduce watering a week to 10 days before harvesting, which will help them keep longer. While visiting pumpkin farms is an enjoyable autumn activity, homeowners can plant their own pumpkins and enjoy their harvests right from the comforts of their backyards.

Some of Marc’s favourite tips for colour & patterns BY MARC ATIYOLIL Special to the Times
W
ith fall just around the corner, cooler temperatures are setting in and we’re spending more time indoors. This is a great time of year to freshen up the interior of your home. A fresh coat of paint in a beautiful colour and a few throw pillows in trendy patterns are great ways to bring new life to a room. I’ve compiled some of my favourite tips for working with colour and patterns to help get you started. 1. Design with consistency It is important that we tie all the elements – big or small – in a given space. If you have trouble colour matching, shop with a fabric and paint swatch. Analyzing colours under the same lighting conditions is the best way to get a perfect match! 2. Add visual interest Incorporate printed patterns within a neutral colour palette to add visual interest. Common places to choose a patterned fabric are; accent chairs, bedspreads, pillows, or an area rug. Depending on your comfort level, choose
MARRISON, from page 21 blight-stricken tomatoes have given up. By the end of September all my tomatoes were black with blight on the older stems but still had fresh, green new stems. By midOctober the new stems were still blight-free and so was the remaining green fruit that had to be ripened inside. Tomatoes are easy to freeze (just wash them, dry them and drop them into a plastic bag). Once frozen, their skin lifts off easily if they’re held under hot, running water. Q: I recently planted some black calla lilies. Do I have to remove the bulbs before frost? Or can I leave them in like the white calla lilies? Maureen email
one or two areas where the pattern will best suit the look of the room. In this bedroom, the chair acts as an accent that ties in the neutral colours of the walls and bed frame to the bolder lime green found in the artwork, tabletop accessories and accent pillow on the bed. 3. Mix and match pattern and colour Don’t be afraid to mix and match pattern and colour on accent pillows. A bed’s colour configuration should be a direct reflection of the room’s overall colour scheme. Don’t know how to layer pillows? It’s simple; start with the biggest pillows at the back and layer medium ones in front of the bigger ones. To finish off the look, add a few decorative pillows in front of the medium-sized pillows.
love abstract oil paintings while others prefer framed photography. No matter what your budget may be, there is always an art option for you! TIP: When selecting art, make sure your room’s accent colours are found in the art pieces. Also, shy away from art pieces where the dominant colour is also your wall colour. Artwork should visually “pop” and make a statement.
◗ Marc Atiyolil, is Editor-inChief, Home Trends Magazine.
4. Embrace bold colours Don’t be afraid to use bold colours on your walls and pair them with neutral coloured furniture. Lively wall colours create a dramatic backdrop for art pieces. 5. Choose artwork that works Choosing the right artwork boils down to a matter of personal choice. Some
Blight-free A: Yes, all the coloured callas must be over-wintered inside. They’ve been hybridized from a more tender species than the large-flowered white calla. Reduce watering to dry out the rhizomes. Then overwinter them inside in dry peat moss or vermiculite in a cool, frost-free place. The hardiest of the white calla lilies (Zantesdeschia aethiopica Crowborough can flower outside in sheltered spots near the coast and sometimes several miles inland. But the further east you go, the more mulching it needs to get reliably through the winter. ◗ Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions. Send them to her via amarrison@shaw.ca.

Jeff Bonner has moved Tractorgrease Studio from downtown Chilliwack to the more rural setting of the Chilliwack River Valley. BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com
T
wo things missing from Jeff Bonner’s downtown Chilliwack music studio Tractorgrease he now has at his rural, Chilliwack River Valley location. Grease and a tractor. And while his new (well, old) John Deere and the oil slick on the floor of the auto repair garage he took over are in no ways eponymous, they may help to mythologize where his studio’s name came from. “I had to pressure wash the floor five times,” Bonner told the Times with a smile. “I had to remove 50 years of grease.”
New environment
Tractorgrease boss Jeff Bonner pulls up stakes and builds a music studio more attuned to artists
His new Chilliwack Lake Road location next to the Pointa Vista Café was an auto repair shop for 50 years run by valley fixture Wes Burgemeister. Moving from his Alexander Avenue and Young Road location to the valley was a big decision. But as a destination studio, Bonner said it made sense for a lot of rea-
sons not least of which was to be in the tranquil nature of the valley, situated among hulking cedars, hugged by the mountains and adjacent to the Chilliwack River. “It’s going to be more of an artists’ environment,” he said. More than a studio, Bonner will continue to use his space as a small venue for performances.
He’s got room for about 40-or-so people in the main room, which used to be used for oil changes and fixing transmissions. The first show at the new Tractorgrease on Oct. 27 at 7 p.m. is Lee Harvey Osmond, aka Tom Wilson of Junkhouse and Blackie and the Rodeo Kings fame. That day also kicks off the fifth

Local filmmaker reaches out for Chilliwack votes BY SHARRON HO Chilliwack Times
C
hilliwack residents are being urged to vote online and improve a homegrown talent’s chances of being included in an international horror anthology that features big industry names. Borrowtime Films, a Vancouver-based production company, is asking the public to support its latest short film, M is for Messiah, directed by Chilliwack-native and Sardis secondary school graduate, Nicholas Humphries. The 32-year-old shot the film overnight on a private residence off Chilliwack Lake Road on Friday the 13th in September. “We weren’t paying anybody, it was all volunteer,” Humphries said.”I was directing, but I also had to put myself in the movie, so we could fill out that crowd. So everybody had to do quadruple duty, whereas normally on a film set, everybody has one job to do.” The low-budget film stars Michelle Ferguson from Galacticast and Jason Vaisvila of Supernatural and Fringe, with Humphries’ childhood friends as extras. The three-minute short begins with a distraught woman being led into a circle of masked cult followers under the moonlight. Flames from an open fire flicker in the background, as the quickthinking woman scrambles to save herself from imminent danger. “I would describe it as a cult sacrifice gone wrong with a twist,” Humphries said. It is currently among 150 other independent horror flicks gunning for a spot in ABCs of Death 2, a horror anthology that includes chilling works from 25 worldrenowned genre directors. Each director was given $5,000 to create a short based on a letter of the alphabet. One letter, this time around being M, is reserved for an open competition that attracts independent filmmakers from around the world. Six entrants will be plucked from an online voting process, with another six being selected by a judging panel. The winner will be selected by directors of ABCs of Death 2. “To have a co-directing credit on a feature film with the biggest horror directors in the world would be immeasurable,” Humphries said. “It would help promote my career leaps and bounds in an industry that’s really hard to break into.” Humphries began his artistic adventure into film at the young age of 12 with a VHS
SCAN WITH LAYAR TO WATCH VIDEO camcorder. The cinephile then went on to complete a bachelor of arts in film studies from the University of British Columbia (UBC) and master of fine arts in film production. Unlike his earlier, “really sloppy” works made as a child, Humphries has gained repute with his Syfy Channel webseries Riese: Kingdom Falling and won a Best Short at Screamfest Horror Film Festival Los Angeles in 2011 for The Little Mermaid.
His first feature length film, Death Do Us Part, is being released in 2014. In addition to making films, Humphries also teaches at the Vancouver Film School and occasionally at UBC. “If we can get people to kind of champion something that was made by Chilliwackians from Chilliwack in Chilliwack, that might be a good way for us to break out and get more likes so we can get into the top six,” Humphries said.

Expensive prescriptions did very little. My granddaughter finally helped by recommending Bell #60 and it worked within days. I take it now when needed. I hope others will be helped just as well. Rev. Larry K. Raynes, 70, Taylors, SC

Dr. Hubert wrote since his own high-school age children took shark liver oil they have no more colds. Dr. Haimes’s grandchildren have been taking shark liver oil for 6 months and he writes they have no more infection of any kind. Read on the Bell website: “I had 3-4 flus every winter. None last 5 years.” “Amazing! All of us have no #51 more colds.” “No more asthma, no puffer, no cold, no flus, changed my life”. In North America this is a byproduct from the restaurant industry. No sharks are caught for their liver or their cartilage. ! No more colds, also my eczema disappeared! Last 2 years I would get colds often due to stress as I am an athlete and body builder.

Four Questions with Elizabeth Hurley Anya Georgijevic
October marks the national Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and no brand has been more crucial to the fight against the disease as Estée Lauder, in its relentless campaigning and fundraising over the last two decades. The exquisitely beautiful Elizabeth Hurley has played a vital part in the Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign since signing as the company spokesperson back in 1995. Intelligent and articulate, Elizabeth Hurley gave us an update on the company’s crusade against the agonizing disease, and even found time to give us a couple of valuable beauty tips. You’ve been an Estée Lauder spokesperson for almost two decades -- a rare thing in this industry. When you signed in 1995, did you think it would become a role of a lifetime? I couldn’t have dreamt it. I think my initial contract was two years. I was thrilled beyond belief when it was picked up again, after two years. It’s really been like having a second family. You’ve personally been affected by breast cancer; you lost your grandmother to the disease. Was that one of the reasons why you’ve been so passionately involved since the beginning? When Evelyn [Lauder] told me about her campaign, during my first two or three weeks at the company, I suppose my ears did perk up a bit more because of my grandmother. It was so sad the way she hadn’t told anybody about her lump, for the very reasons Evelyn went on to explain why she was doing the campaign. Because she said, “women are dying all over the world and nobody is talking about it.” She was so inspired by the AIDS activists, who, at that time, were very active. You also live and promote a healthy lifestyle, as part of the breast cancer prevention. Can you tell us a little bit more about that? I love living in the countryside, and I’ve always loved feeling healthy. Evelyn Lauder always said to me, “Don’t put on weight. It is not good for you in any way. Not because you won’t look as good, but it could be dangerous for your health.” It’s great for us that doctors and research scientists are now speaking out and saying that they really do believe that we can make a difference by following a healthy lifestyle. They know that we really have to go out of our way to deliberate exercise. I know I don’t step up so much on that one. I’m very active, but I don’t really do exercise regime, and I should. Eating-wise, I’ve eaten pretty well in the last 30 years, so I feel okay in that aspect. What are the goals of this year’s “Let’s Defeat Breast Cancer. We’re Stronger Together” campaign? We know we’ve succeeded in some way with the awareness, and we’ve helped raise a huge amount of money. The Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign itself has raised $48 million US dollars, most of which they’ve donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, also started by Evelyn Lauder, which has raised nearly half a billion dollars for research. What we’re trying to do this year is encourage people to get together and make a difference themselves. Small scale, big scale: it doesn’t matter. It might be getting a couple of your friends together, and all of you making a pledge to do something about it. It’s all about our “Circle of Strength” and all of that can be seen on BCAcampaign.com, and as well as Facebook, which you’re all on, so no excuses!
