Bad dogs beware, bylaw in the works

FVRD tackles issue after two high-profile incidents BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

ural areas outside of Chilliwack city limits are one step closer to having a bylaw in place by January to deal with aggressive and dangerous dogs. A Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) service area bylaw approved by the board of directors will only apply to electoral Areas D (Popkum and Bridal Falls) and E (Columbia Valley, Chilliwack River Valley/Lindell Beach). “We are very pleased to tackle this emerging issue that has had serious safety consequences for our residents,” FVRD chair Sharon Gaetz said in a press release. “It is also important for the public to understand that this bylaw will not include a full complement of animal control services. It is specifically limited to address the aggressive dogs issue so that residents can be safe.” The issue of aggressive dogs in FVRD electoral areas came to the forefront in late summer after a pack of pit bulls that had terrorized a stretch of Yale Road in Popkum for months attacked and bit a 14year-old boy. The boy’s younger sister had previously been chased by the dogs, as had the elected representative for the area, Area D director Bill Dickey. See DOGS, Page 7

Abby council puts brakes on bus BY ROCHELLE BAKER rbaker@abbotsfordtimes.com

bbotsford council has nixed plans to develop a long-anticipated regional Fraser Valley Express bus linking the city to Chilliwack and Langley and tying the communities to the Metro Vancouver transit system. Councillors Henry Braun, Moe Gill and Les Barkman voted against the inter-city bus, and with three other councillors missing from the table, it was enough to park the project. Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman, among others, was baffled by the outcome, especially as, just prior to the vote, council had unanimously passed a motion allowing it to opt out of the plan in the future if the proposed costs were too great. “We had an escape clause,” Banman said. “I’m kind of scratching my head on this one.” Banman intends to use his executive privilege to bring the issue back for reconsideration once more councillors are present. He wasn’t sure, however, that it would change the outcome of the original vote. “I honestly can’t say,” he said. The mayor and councillors Patricia Ross and Dave Loewen were in support of the plan. Councillors John Smith and Bill Mac-

Gregor were absent from the meeting, and Coun. Simon Gibson has not been present at council following his election as an MLA. Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz, also the chair of the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD), said Abbotsford council’s decision was unexpected, especially as it had unanimously endorsed the project at a recent FVRD board meeting. “I was very disappointed and surprised,” Gaetz said. However, Banman’s proposal to revisit the issue was encouraging, she said. Gaetz said she understood the reason the project was rejected was because councillors felt they didn’t have enough information to support it. “I’m hopeful that Abbotsford city staff, FRVD staff and BC Transit can give the council the information they need,” she said. “It’s imperative we have this service in the Fraser Valley.” The Fraser Valley Express was intended to bridge the transit gap between the communities of Abbotsford and Chilliwack. The inter-city route would also tie both communities to SkyTrain and other key destinations within the Lower Mainland via the Langley Carvolth Exchange. Abbotsford has a link to Langley but it currently involves a lengthy trip through Aldergrove. B.C. transit was slated to pick up 47 per cent of the bill, or $755,800, with Abbots-

ford and Chilliwack funding the remainder of the $1.68 million tab. Abbotsford would fund the majority of the regional governments’ contribution paying an estimated $588,200, or 64 per cent of the local share. Chilliwack would pay 36 per cent of the local share, or $333,764. According to FVRD staff estimates, the cost of the route would work out to a cost of $10.57 per residential property in Abbotsford and $9.07 per property in Chilliwack. Prior to the Abbotsford council vote, Coun. Braun noted that Langley, part of the Metro Vancouver TransLink system, would be part of the bus route but wasn’t contributing to the cost. Gaetz said riders, particularly students from the University Fraser Valley (UFV), have been petitioning for a link between Chilliwack and Abbotsford for years. Both communities are home to UFV campuses and transit users from across the Fraser Valley need to attend Abbotsford Regional Hospital. “[Transit] linkages bring jobs and allow people to travel outside their community to the regional hospital or to go into the big city,” she said. Gaetz said she was hopeful that Abbotsford council would get the data it needed to support the project before the start of UFV’s next semester. “We really want to move this ahead,” she said.

hilliwack RCMP are looking for a suspect after an 85-year-old woman was pepper sprayed and shoved to the ground by a robber who made off with her purse Saturday. The woman, who was attacked around 11:30 a.m. outside a residence in the 45000 block of Patten Avenue,sustainedminorinjuries but is recovering, Chilliwack RCMP Const. Cynthia Kershaw said Wednesday. “Robberies and crimes against people are always taken seriously by police,” Kershaw said in a release, “but when it involves the abuse of a senior citizen it makes it difficult to understand why someone would commit a crime such as this.” While the victim was pepper sprayed she was able to identify her attacker. The suspect is described as a five-foot-seven-inch Caucasian man in his 40s with short brown hair and a medium build. He may have been wearing a short-sleeved shirt and plaid shorts. After robbing the woman, the attacker drove off in a newer model, light-coloured or beige Kia—possibly a Kia Soul. Kershaw said the RCMP were working hard to investigate the crime. “We are certainly following up on quite a few leads,” she said. ◗ Anyone who observed the incident or anyone with information about the crime can contact the Chilliwack RCMP at 604 792-4611, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 (TIPS).

he City of Chilliwack will recognize three local army reserve units that have historic connections to the area with an honour that dates back to ancient Rome on Saturday. The 39 Combat Engineer Regiment, The Royal Westminster Regiment and the 39 Service Battalion will receive the Freedom of the City, a ceremonial honour and token of appreciation bestowed to military units for their long-standing service and dedication to a community. The historic tie of military engineers in Chilliwack stretches back to 1941 when Camp Chilliwack was

founded at Vedder Crossing. The 39 Combat Engineer Regiment has Regimental Headquarters, Administration Squadron and 54 Engineer Squadron located at the Chilliwack Armoury. The Royal Westminister Regiment has the longest connection with Chilliwack, going back to 1910 when the D Company of the 104th Regiment Westminster Fusiliers of Canada was opened here. Their armoury was built in 1913

and still stands as a city landmark on Princess Street. Due to army reorganization, D Company was closed in 1960. The Queen conferred the honour “Royal” upon the Regiment in 1967, and on April 1, 2013, the Regiment returned to re-establish D Company at the Chilliwack Armoury. The ceremonial honour, which allows recipients to march around the city with drums beating and flags raised, has origins that date

back to ancient Rome. During Roman times, certain elected officials and generals were forbidden entry into the city as the city boundaries were considered sacred. Soldiers were also banned from carrying weapons within city limits for traditional and religious reasons. European cities during the Middle Ages adopted similar laws to protect the public from drunkenness and looting by the king’s sol-

diers. The Freedom of the City was only granted to local military units that earned the trust of citizens. The service will take place at the Chilliwack Museum at 45820 Spadina Ave. at 1 p.m. There will be several road closures on the day of the event from noon to 2 p.m. on the following roadways: Spadina Ave between Corbould Street and First Avenue; Yale Rd between Princess Ave and Hodgins Ave/Cheam Ave; Main Street between Yale Road and Kipp Ave; Ontario Street between Yale and Mary Street; and Mary Street between Ontario and Spadina.

About the Regiments and Battalion 39 Combat Engineer Regiment (39 CER) 39 CER has their Regiment Headquarters (RHQ), Administration Squadron (Admin Sqn) and 54 Engineer Squadron (54 ES) located at the Chilliwack Armoury (the old 1 CER/ASU building). The Regiment also has a squadron in North Vancouver (6 ES) and a squadron in Trail (44 ES).

Old Yale adds trophies to shelf BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

hilliwack’s Old Yale Brewing added to its trophy shelf last weekend with two more statues from the 2013 British Columbia Beer Awards. The popular local micro-brewery’s Old Yale Pale Ale beat out 26 other entries to take second place in the American Ale category. Parallel 49’s Gypsy Tears took first place. And brewer Larry Caza’s Sasquatch Stout took third place in the stout category, which featured 14 entries. First went to Persephone Brewing Company’s Stout-Off Stout and second was Longwood Brewing’s Stoutnik Russian Imperial Stout. “We are very happy about winning two awards,” co-owner Jeremy Sibley said. “The number of craft breweries in B.C. has increased by about 50 per cent in the past few years and many of these brewers are making great beer.

Old Yale Brewing owners (left to right) Gord Gagne, Jeff Hunt, brewmaster Larry Caza and Jeremy Sibley took home two awards from the 2013 B.C. Beer Awards Oct. 19. to recognized as one of the best of the best.” Old Yale was started by Caza in 2000 out of a tiny storefront in Vedder Crossing. He brewed four beers, which were sold in 650-millilitre bottles and available provincewide. But he wasn’t profitable so he shut the brewery down in 2010. Gord Gagne and Jeff Hunt then came along with a business plan and a deal was made to re-open. Sibley joined the team later and the four have been working hard with new beers, new branding and new packaging, which includes sell-

ing in cans and pouring growlers out of the Venture Place brewery. “Our brewmaster Larry Caza has been brewing beer in Chilliwack since 2001, well before craft beer was as popular as it is now,” Sibley said. “He continues to brew some of the best beer in the province.” This summer Caza created original recipes including Outta Wack Mango Wheat Ale and DOAle. The brewery will soon release an IrishCream Stout in time for the cold weather, according to Sibley.

◗ Opinion

Surprise respectfully submitted Some things are not surprising. Some are. As someone who has a great deal of respect for David Suzuki myself, I can’t say I’m terribly surprised that a recent Angus Reid Global poll found he is the most respected person in Canada. On the other hand, it’s beyond surprising that Senator Mike Duffy is apparently respected by four per cent of Canadians. It blows me away that the former Parliament Hill television blowhard whom history may prove to have single-handedly destroyed Canada’s Upper House with his self-serving financial porkery registered any respect at all in the survey. Prime Minister Stephen Harper was significantly overrated at 23 per cent, while Rick Hansen garnered only twice that much respect. Although, I profess a certain amount of humble pride in the revelation that my province of birth and habitation, British Columbia, is outdone by only the Maritimes in lack of prime ministerial respect (67 per cent of us don’t have much use for Harper, while Maritimers despise him to the tune of 76 per cent), and we outshine all the other provinces in admiration for Hansen (76 per cent respect in B.C., compared to 61 per cent in Alberta). Interestingly, across the coun-

BOB GROENEVELD

Be Our Guest try, all of Canada’s political party leaders floated between 20 and 23 percentage points of respect. So... should I be surprised, as I look around at the state of things, that the leaders and wannabe leaders of our country (once one of the most respected countries in the world) can’t seem to earn the respect of one in four of us? I wonder if David Suzuki would consider a run at the prime minster’s office? Or could his respect level take the resultant nose-dive? Or could someone like Conrad Black (who gathered in a shocking five per cent respect rating) actually gain from taking his arrogance and questionable dealings into the political arena? There was another, somewhat interesting dimension to the Angus Reid poll—not so much interesting in terms of the results, as in that the question would be asked and a reputable polling company would put stock in the results. The survey determined that John Furlong was “among the least known Canadians.” C’mon.

Seriously? I get that he garners little respect (17 per cent in B.C., and only six per cent throughout Canada). After all, he’s a guy who, along with a bunch of others, wasted a lot of money in British Columbia in 2010, when most Canadians would have wished him to have wasted it in their provinces instead. But least known? Six per cent of 35 million equals somewhat more than two million Canadians who would recognize John Furlong by name. Seriously, folks, I can admit to a pretty swelled head from time to time, but I’m willing to bet that, if you dropped my name all the way across Canada, somewhat less than six per cent of the people you come across will recognize it. Raise your hand if you honestly believe more than two million people know who you are... I understand there’s a movement afoot to re-open Riverview for you. What sets John Furlong among the “least known” Canadians is the absence of my name and yours on the survey list. It’s just like how I’m never picked as the “sexiest man alive” when they put that question to the masses —only because they never put my name on the list. ◗ Bob Groeneveld is editor of the Langley Advance.

it bulls are bred to fight. Pit bulls are bred to attack with persistence. Pit bulls are bred to kill. The Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) just took the next, important step towards cracking down on aggressive and dangerous dogs of all breeds. The creation of a bylaw, which will now go the province for approval and then come back for final adoption, was, at least in part, in response to a number of pit bull attacks in the rural electoral areas of the FVRD outside of city limits. By January all will not be perfect but at least there should be a new aggressive and dangerous dog bylaw in place to protect residents in Popkum, Bridal Falls, Lindell Beach, the Columbia Valley and the Chilliwack River Valley. And notwithstanding the fact that this still leaves FVRD electoral areas A, B, C, F and G unprotected, there’s an argument to be made that this bylaw won’t go far enough. Many people, even some victims of dog attacks, suggested breed-specific legislation isn’t the way to go. The City of Burnaby disagrees and recently voted to maintain and strengthen its 1991 bylaw that keeps pit bulls in the city muzzled and considered “vicious.” Passionate pit bull owners come out of the woodwork to defend their pets whenever there is an attack or a move to restrict. But these people are a vocal minority who should be ignored. The FVRD and member municipalities, such as Chilliwack, should enact anti-pit bull bylaws to protect children from these vicious animals. As a Vancouver lawyer who has an expertise in dog attacks put it to the Times, bans on pit bulls are like safe-injection sites: They aren’t pretty, they aren’t perfect but they reduce injuries and death. Pit bull bans are pragmantic. Pit bull bans are harm reduction. Enough is enough.

New vets charter misunderstood Editor: Re: “A stronger voice needed,”

Chilliwack Times, Oct. 17. I would like to start off by thanking Mr. Biggar for his service to our country. I have the utmost respect for anyone who has served in our military regardless of where their service took place. That is why I am so proud to be a member of this Conservative government. No government in Canadian history has supported veterans as much as we have. We instituted a Veterans Bill of Rights and created the Office of the Veterans Ombudsman to strengthen our ability to respond quickly and fairly to the concerns of veterans and their families. We have announced new funding for memorials, cenotaphs and commemorative activities. We improved the Funeral and Burial Program by simplifying the program for veterans’ estates and by

more than doubling the current funeral services rate. Since our election in 2006, the Conservative government has invested almost $4.7 billion in new funding to enhance benefits, programs and services for veterans and their families. We have worked hard to ensure that close to 90 per cent of the department’s budget goes towards direct service and support for veterans. The key to the New Veterans Charter—which was supported unanimously by all parties when it was introduced by the Liberal government—is that it shifts the focus from a lifetime of disability to encouraging “wellness.” Unfortunately, a great deal of misunderstanding surrounding the New Veterans Charter persists. The Disability Award, paid to ill and injured veterans—commonly referred to as the lump sum payment—is not the only compensation veterans receive. The sole intent of the Disability Award is to compensate for the pain and suffering of an injury or illness. Other ongoing monthly financial supports are available so that veterans and their families can focus on what matters most—getting better. Under the Enhanced New Veterans Charter Act, regular force veterans in receipt of the Earnings Loss benefit are guaranteed

a minimum of $40,000 per year in pre-tax income for as long as they are in the Rehabilitation Program or, if they are unable to work again, until age 65. Under the Enhanced New Veterans Charter Act, eligibility criteria for the Permanent Impairment Allowance (PIA) and the Exceptional Incapacity Allowance have been broadened. Recipients of the PIA may also be eligible for a new $1,000 monthly supplement. With these changes, Canada’s severely injured veterans may be eligible for a minimum of $58,000 a year. According to NDP MP Peter Stoffer, “The reality is, if you compare our veterans care for them and their families compared to the other countries in the world, I think we’re right at the very top of that list.” To learn more about the benefits available to our veterans I would encourage your readers to visit the benefits browser our government launched at: www.veterans.gc.ca/ eng/benefits. We believe our men and women in uniform are deserving of our gratitude and respect. Under our Conservative government they will continue to receive some of the most generous benefits in the country.

ardis secondary’s senior boys soccer team put all doubts about its season behind Tuesday, finishing undefeated in league play after a 6-0 victory over cross-town rivals Chilliwack secondary.

Blanking cross-town rivals icing on the cake for controversial team with players called back from tryouts, however, the team hasn’t looked back, finishing the season 5-0. “I don’t think anyone is too surprised,” said coach Shaun Calver. “We always knew we were a deep squad, and even with the loss of a few players, we knew we could compete.” Tuesday’s game against CSS saw

Grade 12 forward Brandon Wallace deliver a hat trick plus one, while Grade 11 midfielder Stevie McMahon and Grade 11 defender Grecco Costamagna chipped in one goal apiece. Clinching the east zone will earn the Falcons a top-four seed going into the Fraser Valley Championships. “Provided we continue to work

hard, move the ball quickly and do the simple things right, we will have a very good chance of making it out of the Fraser Valley’s and into the Provincials,” he said. Sardis’s first playoff game is Tuesday at home against an opponent to be determined at a seeding meeting Friday. A win would put the Falcons through to the provincials. A loss means trying to secure a back-door berth. ◗ For more about upcoming games and results, visit www.fraservalleysoccer.webs.com.

Faith Today

A foundation in the midst of change BY REV. WILLEM H. VAN DE WALL Cooke’s Presbyterian Church

recently attended a convention where change was the topic of discussion. In most of the small group discussions the consensus was: “If we don’t have to change the things we are used to, we will always feel secure.” But you see, change is inevitable. We can’t stay the same. Everything around us changes. The Greek Philosopher Heraclitus spoke about this reality as early as the 6th century. He used the term “Panta Rei” from the Greek language which literally means “Everything flows.”

The season of fall always makes me think of what is will be something of the past before we can try to preserve it. And then we need to ask ourselves how we are going to deal with the changes we see —in ourselves, in our world, in standards or principles—changes that most of the time take us with them. Don’t we all feel we would like to hold onto something familiar in the midst of change. The Bible reminds us that God is the foundation that will never change. In Malachi 3:6 we read, “I the Lord do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed.” What a wonderful and beautiful truth.

God is irremovable and unchanging in His being and character. He didn’t have a beginning and will not have an ending. How can we explain that? We don’t have to. We just have to accept who He is and place our lives in His hands. With His unchanging character we have the wonderful comfort that He is not offended by the changes we undergo in our daily lives. Because we change so often in what we say and do doesn’t mean that God is going to expel us. No, He is continuing to bring a change about in the lives of His people. In fact, He wants to see change in us more than anything else.

Another passage we can appreciate is Philippians 1: 6, “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.” Change is not always pretty or attractive. In the end, like the caterpillar, it will become a stunning butterfly. It’s easy to get stuck in the messiness of change and believe this is all there is to you or you will never become anything more than a failure. Never believe that. There is a better you and I on the way. It took Michelangelo, the Italian artist, three years to complete one of his masterpieces—the

David statue. The changes came very slowly and through perseverance he created it. Through the changes in life, our God is busy to bring the masterpieces of our lives to perfection. When we see the changes as we live our lives each day, let’s remind ourselves that there is one who never changes. He has the world in His hands; He has our lives in His hands. In Him we can put our trust. ◗ Rev.Willem van de Wall is the Minister of Cooke’s Presbyterian Church and can be reached at 604792-2154 or rev.cookes@gmail.com.

Prep work important before you paint P

ainting a home’s interior can give it a completely new look and feel. A fresh coat of paint can make a room feel more vibrant and up-to-date, creating a whole new attitude within the room without breaking the bank. Whether creating an accent wall or painting each wall within a room, painting is a relatively easy and inexpensive home improvement project. But that doesn’t mean painting does not require a little prep work before the project can begin. ◗ Address any holes or bumps on the wall. Holes or cracks in the wall will need to be patched with spackle, which then must dry before the wall can be given a new coat of paint. In addition, sand down any bumps until the walls are smooth and free of any unsightly abnormalities. ◗ Wash the walls. Walls can get dirty, and that dirt may or may not be masked by paint. Before adding a new coat of paint, wash the walls and inspect them for dust. Dust can collect on molding, especially in rooms that get little natural air. When dust has collected on the molding and around doorways and trim, use a damp cloth to wipe it away before

paint, stir the paint before using it. In addition, even if you don’t plan to use a roller when painting, do not paint straight from the can, which can be heavier to hold than a small bowl, and a light bowl is less likely to be spilled than a poten-

Primer can serve many functions, not the least of which is its role as a bonding agent between the wall and the top coat of paint. Primer can also help conceal dark colors, prevent stains and increase the life expectancy of the paint job you are about to undertake. ◗ Prepare your paint.

Make your home accessible

any homeowners have found themselves scrambling to make their homes handicap accessible after a sudden injury or illness. In addition, some homeowners have found themselves looking to make adjustments to their homes in anticipation of welcoming elderly, less mobile relatives into their homes. Converting a home into a handicap-accessible space can seem like a daunting task that requires adjustments to nearly every part of the house. While the extent of those adjustments depends on the individual who needs to be accommodated, some of the areas homeowners must address when making their homes handicap accessible are universal regardless of the individual’s condition. Entryways A home’s entryways often must be addressed when making the home more handicap accessible. Portable ramps can be an affordable option and are often an ideal for those who only need to make temporary adjustments, such as when a resident suffers an injury that requires he or she spend some time in a wheelchair. When the adjustments will just be temporary, a folding wheelchair might be necessary, as the doorways might not be able to fit a standard wheelchair that doesn’t fold. When adjustments figure to be permanent, homeowners might need to expand the doorways in their homes. Contractors typically recommend expanding doorways to at least 32 inches, which provides some maneuverability when wheelchairs, which are typically between 24 and 27 inches wide, are entering the home. Doorways at the most commonly used entryways, including front doors and doors to the bathrooms as well as the individual’s bedroom, will likely need to be widened.

Bathroom The bathroom might be the area of the home that needs the most attention. Slippery conditions common to bathrooms can make things especially difficult for people in wheelchairs or with disabilities. Grab bars should be installed in bath tubs and shower stalls and next to toilets. But grab bars aren’t the only adjustment homeowners should make in the bathroom as they attempt to make a home more handicap accessible. Safety treads, which can provide a secure, slip-free surface on the floors of showers and tubs, can be installed. Add a hand-held shower head to the shower stall to make it easier for those with a disability to shower. Portable transfer seats, which enable wheelchair-bound men and women to transition from their chairs to showers and bathtubs, can be purchased and kept in or near the bathroom. Water fixtures An often overlooked adjustment homeowners must make when transforming their homes into handicap-accessible spaces concerns the sinks throughout the home. Disabled persons may find it difficult to access faucets on sinks throughout the home, especially when there are vanity cabinets beneath the sinks. Replacing such sinks with pedestal sinks can improve maneuverability, but make sure such sinks are lower to the ground than standard pedestal sinks. A sink that’s just a few inches lower than a standard sink is considerably more accessible to people in wheelchairs. Closets Closets are rarely handicap accessible. Homeowners can address this issue by creating multi-level closet spaces so individuals can place their clothes at accessible heights.

Get creative increasing storage in tight spaces

ozy, quaint homes attract many home buyers and renters. Be it a cottagestyle house or a studio apartment, smaller living spaces often involve getting creative with storage. People live in a smaller homes for a variety of reasons. Some choose to live in a smaller home so they can be right in the thicks of things in a city or urban centre. Others scale back on living space in an effort to save money. But storage space in small quarters is often at a premium, and thinking creatively is a necessity to keep the home tidy and items out of view. Rainy or chilly days are the perfect times to tackle indoor organization projects. When the outdoors isn’t beckoning, you can devote all of your attention to addressing storage issues in your home. To begin, take inventory of what you have, going through your possessions and determining what can stay and what can go. Part with anything you haven’t used in quite some time. The next step is to sort items and get organized. Then you can find a place for everything. For example, if you have a dozen bath towels but only one sauce pot, you will need to find more room for linens than kitchen cookware. You may need to borrow space from one area of the home to give to another area. The following are some additional tips to increase space in an otherwise cramped home. ◗ Add shelves. Increase cabinet and closet space by adding shelves into them. This may double or even triple the amount of usable space, especially if you customize the shelving to fit storage containers you use to store

everything from shoes to craft items. ◗ Opt for dual-purpose furniture. Benches with lids that lift up and sofas that convert into guest beds are just a few of the many ways you can keep a small home neat and increase storage space. An ottoman is a great place to store extra blankets and linens, while a trunk or crate with a sturdy top can be used in lieu of a traditional coffee table to keep books or board games. ◗ Think vertically. When floor space is at a premium, you may need to look up for storage. Frequently used pots and pans can be hung from a decorative rack in your kitchen. Use magnets on jars to store a spice rack on the wall near the stove. Racks above cabinets or on doors can be used to store everything from shoes to jewelry to toiletries. Shelving in children’s rooms can store lesser used toys away from the floor. Empty walls are valuable real estate in a small home, and tall bookshelves can house a number of different things. ◗ Take advantage of oddly shaped crevices. If you have space under a staircase or a spot by a dormer or in an attic eave, use the space to store items. You may need to get creative, such as adding a door and small closet into the staircase, but such spaces make practical storage areas and add character to a home. ◗ Use see-through storage containers. Many people find that plastic storage bins are neater and more stackable than boxes. See-through bins enable you to quickly find items so that you are not searching around

Tips for fixing common household eyesores

As a result, everything from stains to grout to rings around the toilet are common in the bathroom. Vinegar and baking soda can be handy tools in the bathroom. Pour vinegar into the toilet and add some baking soda to create a foaming action. Use a toilet brush to scrub the inside of the bowl. Then allow the solution to sit for an hour before flushing away. The same combination can be used to scrub down soap scum that

ven a spotless home complete with the latest gadgets and popular kitchen and bathroom decor cannot compete with little eyesores that go unfixed. These may include anything from loose knobs to scuffed floors. Although it may take a little work, it’s generally easy to eradicate common blemishes.

Bathroom A home’s bathroom or bathrooms get more than their fair share of use.

Go vertical the house for lost items and creating a bigger mess along the way. Clear storage containers work in the refrigerator, too. You can more easily spot leftovers, and uniform stacking containers free up more room for bulkier items. ◗ Make use of space beneath your bed. There likely is ample room to store more things than just dust bunnies beneath your bed. A bed frame with built-in drawers is the perfect place to keep bed linens and outof-season clothes. Beds can be raised on blocks to create more space underneath for storing rolling plastic containers and even seldomused suitcases. ◗ Opt for an armoire. Armoires are not exclusive to bedrooms. Armoires can be used in dining spaces or in dens to store items out of sight. An armoire can be used when retrofitted with a pull-out shelf as a laptop desk, storing all office items behind closed doors when not needed. ◗ Improve storage in the bathroom. Try to choose a vanity that has under-thesink storage so you will have a place to store some toiletries. Home improvement centres sell cabinets and etageres that can be placed above the toilet tank as a storage space for bathroom items. In the shower, hang a second tension-loaded shower curtain rod on the inside of the shower enclosure that can be used to hold bags of kids bath toys and other toiletries, keeping them off the tub ledges. When you think creatively, you can maximize storage space even in a small home.

But repairing window screens is a relatively easy task. There are screen replacement kits that take you through the process step-bystep if you plan to replace the entire screen. For very small tears, you may be able to patch the damage. There are self-stick patches for screens, but often the glue draws attention to the repair. Rather, get a small piece of new screen material and use an upholstery needle and invisible finishing thread to attach the patch.

How to improve air quality W

ith fall soon to give way to winter, many people will soon be spending more time indoors. Winter weather can be harsh, and it can be difficult for fresh air to make its way into a home once the warmer temperatures of summer and fall give way to the cold days of winter. Poor indoor air quality can cause multiple problems. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, poor indoor air quality can increase a person’s risk of developing pneumonia, and it also may aggravate existing respiratory conditions such as asthma. The EPA also notes that long-term exposure to indoor air pollution can increase a person’s risk for heart disease, respiratory diseases and even cancer. Because indoor air pollution can be so devastating, many homeowners look for ways to improve their indoor air quality, especially before the arrival of winter, when residents of the home figure to spend such a significant amount of time indoors. Fortunately, homeowners can take many steps to do just that. ◗ Clean with soap and water. Soap and hot water can still clean a home effectively, and this age-old combination might be the healthiest way to clean as well. Many household cleaning products contain potentially harmful ingredients that can introduce toxins and irritants into a home. Avoid such cleaners and solvents when cleaning a home. If stains prove too stubborn for soap and water, be

Indoor air pollution is harmful

sure to open windows when using potentially harmful cleaners indoors. ◗ Purchase an air filtration system. Air filtration systems vary significantly in size, cost and function. Some systems are designed to remove specific pollutants, and may not be effective at removing additional indoor air pollutants. Larger models tend to be most effective at filtering pollutants like dust, but such units are more expensive than smaller units. If your home is especially dusty, then a large filtering system may prove a worthy investment. ◗ Open windows and doors when possible. Introducing outdoor air into a home is a great way to improve indoor air quality. Of course, opening windows and doors might not be feasible in the middle of winter. But take advantage of any such opportunities when they present themselves. For example, after cooking a big meal, open the kitchen exhaust fan to allow fresh air into the home. Such fans are not large enough to cause a significant temperature drop in the home, but they can directly remove contaminants from inside the home, like those that might be emitted from gas stoves. ◗ Insist guests and residents remove their shoes. Chemicals can find their way into a home in a variety of ways, and you and your fellow residents or guests may be tracking them into your

home on your shoes. Keep a doormat inside all entryways, and insist guests and residents remove their shoes before entering your home. This reduces the amount of potential pollutants brought into your home and also makes cleaning the home that much easier. ◗ Break out the mop. Vacuum cleaners can be effective at picking up pollutants inside a home, but they also can leave things behind. When a vacuum cleaner seems to be leaving some dust behind, take out the mop and, with just a little water, address the areas where dust is still lingering. Water should be enough to do the trick, and, unlike some cleaning products, water won’t be introducing any additional harmful pollutants into the home. ◗ Smoke outside. Smoking inside a home is inviting trouble, especially during those times of year when the windows cannot be opened. Secondhand smoke is a significant source of indoor air pollution, as cigarette smoke is known to contain more than 4,000 chemicals. Smoking indoors, whether an area is well- or poorlyventilated, can be dangerous to smokers. Exposure to secondhand smoke puts adults and children alike at risk of several diseases, including asthma and cancer. If you or your fellow residents or visitors must smoke, do so outdoors.

Mopping can remove pollutants the vacuum cleaner might have left behind.

News CHALLENGES, from page 1 Besler said he understands Sophia’s parents’ frustration. His family has experienced a few incidents, particularly relating to education. One that stands out, according to Besler, is when the family was discouraged by a private school from enrolling Hannah, even though additional funding would have been made available. “However, some disappointments come as blessings in disguises,” he said. “We have been blessed to find the necessary empathy and compassion in the public school system we have had our daughter enrolled in since kindergarten.” Feeling ostracized Sophia’s story began in April when she complained of pain in her mouth. Paulette brought her to Dr. Yoon Jai Choi at Willow Dental Care in downtown Chilliwack. Dr. Choi describes himself as an “anxiety-free dentist,” and the clinic specializes in high-fear patients. Sophia, like many on the autism spectrum, requires routine and familiarity or she can get upset. This does not mean she cannot try new things or go new places, but change needs to be introduced carefully. “With a bit of familiarization, and patience, Sophia

Looking for patience from service providers can get into doing anything,” Bernard said. Her first haircut, for example, was done at a Chilliwack hair salon that did not charge the full rate knowing Sophia wouldn’t last long in the chair and that they would be back to do more. They hoped for the same sort of patience at the dentist’s office, but they weren’t so lucky. At the first visit on April 27, Sophia was uncooperative with the X-ray machine, according to Bernard. Dr. Choi was able to look in her mouth and see her molars were partially erupted. They made another appointment on May 11 to try again with the X-rays. But Sophia’s parents said staff treated them badly from the outset. “The assistant had no patience or tolerance for Sophia,” Bernard said. “All we needed was a few more minutes and maybe some help from another person to help Sophia be still with the X-ray machine.” “To be that close-minded kind of threw me off,” Paulette said. “They just shuffled us out the door.” Bernard said they went home, Paulette was in tears and they wondered how many more times in her life Sophia will be rejected by

service providers. “We felt ostracized,” he said. Bernard later went to the clinic and asked for the patient log for Sophia. A note after the May 11 appointment said Sophia had a “screaming fit” and said, “She should be seen ONLY at a peds office! please do not book again.” This entry was time stamped May 11, 2013 11:09 a.m., nine minutes after their scheduled appointment. When asked about the incident, Dr. Choi said a dental assistant spent “close to an hour” with Sophia showing her the dental equipment, the air/water syringe and other things to try to make her comfortable. When asked why the date time on the patient log was 11:09 a.m., Choi suggested “our software might have had a glitch in the hour setting and it should have been 12:09 not 11:09.” Paulette and Bernard were shocked when told what the dentist said. “We showed up five minutes early for an 11 a.m. appointment,” Bernard said. “We were out the door 10 minutes later. . . . [T]here is no way we were there for more than 15 minutes.” Regarding the treatment

at his clinic, Dr. Choi said he sees patients with high anxiety and dental fears and different levels of sedation are offered to these patients. “Sophia’s father declined sedation,” he said via email. “We do not specialize in special needs children and we never advertise that we do. . . . We have other autistic patients which we are able to work with. Sophia requires a children’s specialist and there are several in the immediate area who would be quite willing to help Sophia.” After some research, Paulette and Bernard filed a complaint with the BC Human Rights Tribunal on July 5 naming Willow Dental Care Chilliwack, Dr. Choi and the dental hygienist referred to as “jw.” Paulette said all they want is an apology, and maybe increased training for Choi’s staff on how to deal with people on the autism spectrum. Unique challenges Unger at CSCL said parents of children with autism often feel judged when they are out in public and their kids act in ways that seem unusual to families of neural typical children. Autism does present some unique challenges in that the general public isn’t always

able to identify a child as having autism from their appearance, Unger said. Another recent example Unger was made aware of was when a family of an autistic girl was rejected by a

dance studio. “Those experiences do happen,” she said. ◗ See the next issue of the Times for a look at the good news and what’s going right in the City of Chilliwack when it comes to the treatment of people with developmental disabilities.

Wheel-ly big success

Byelection held Nov. 30 BESLER, from page 1

Bikes are lined up and ready to be bought at last weekend’s Restorative Justice and Youth Advocacy Used Bike Sale at Bernard elementary.

hilliwack Restorative Justice (RJ) and Youth Advocacy Association “Used Bike Sale” at Bernard elementary school raised the most money to date with over $3,100 being raised to help continue their program in this community. Peter Devette, RJ director and sale co-ordinator says, “This year we had a record attendance with many smiles leaving with the bike

of their choice and we were able to donate at least 30 bikes to local charities.” Restorative Justice is looking for quality community volunteers to help with their program and executive director Kathy Funk is out in the community doing informational sessions on how residents can give back in a powerful way. A big “thank you” goes out to

parents pressing the school board to form an ad hoc committee in February 2012 to bring more consistency and accountability to the school district’s education of students with autism. The parents’ lobbying sparked an extensive review of special education completed last February. “I believe that every child deserves every opportunity possible to reach his or her greatest potential; a potential that can be reached through good fiscal management and a responsible and accountable approach to the way we provide educational services,” Besler said in a press release. Besler is a member of the school district’s Special Education Advisory Committee and sits on the Student Services Committee as a parent representative. He is also the current chair of the B.C. Partners in Education roundtable and a director at the Fraser Valley Child Development Centre. The Nov. 30 byelection is being held to replace former school board chair Louise Piper who resigned in August for medical reasons. Other would-be candidates who have announced their intention to run include District Parent Advisory Council vice-president Corey Neyrinck and former school board candidate Karen Jarvis. The nomination period runs until Oct. 25.

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

he Chilliwack Arts & Cultural Centre Society presents the Arts Club’s production of BoeingBoeing, a classical farce that will leave your ribs aching from laughter, on Nov. 5 at The Cultural Centre’s main theatre. Part of the Theatre Series at the Centre, Boeing-Boeing tells the story of Bernard, a successful architect in his 60s, who has even more success with the ladies. He juggles the hearts of three flight attendants, Gloria, Gabriella and Gretchen, also known as “America,” “Italy,” and “Germany,” who

The world’s most performed French play Camoletti’s works have been translated into 18 languages, produced in 55 countries and adapted for television or film on 14 occasions. His plays have been attended by an estimated 20-million people and watched in a recorded version by half a billion people. When discussing BoeingBoeing’s continuing popularity, director David Mackay says, “The simple answer is that the structure of this farce puts the char-

jet in and out of his bachelor pad in Paris. All is well until Boeing introduces a swifter jet, and Bernard’s romantic timetable goes hysterically off course and turbulence looms on the horizon. Written in 1960 by French playwright March Camoletti, BoeingBoeing is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s most performed French play. Its original run in Paris lasted 19 years.

“Journeying from jazz to classical music, MG3 captures melodies from around the globe.”

acters in comic situations that remain ludicrously funny today. For all our incredible social and technological advancements made over the past fifty years, a good farce can exemplify that quality in human nature that for every step forward there’s a banana peel to take us two steps back.” In terms of local accolades, The Georgia Strait deemed the play an early contender for best production of 2013.

Watch Bernard enjoy his whirlwind romances set in 1960s Paris, until Boeing decides to launch a newer, faster aircraft that causes his love life to veer off course. ◗ The show begins at 7:30 p.m and tickets are $32 for adults, $29 for seniors and $27 for students. Call the Centre Box Office at 604-391-SHOW(7469) for more information. Due to the adult materials and situations of this performance, Boeing-Boeing may not be appropriate for all audiences.

A Gem in Chinatown

Alexandra Suhner Isenberg

While we can all appreciate a night out crammed into a sweaty bar, these days we find ourselves choosing our venues based on whether there will be room for us to sit down. The Emerald, a new Chinatown supper club, is making sure that everyone has a seat, and is encouraging us to park and get comfortable. With large tables best-suited to groups, a spacious layout so you can’t hear your neighbour’s conversation, and a killer list of classic and modern cocktails, this is one spot you won’t want to leave. Featuring a menu full of Old Vegas inspired favourites (think Spaghetti and meatballs, Chicken Parmesan, and a homemade Peking Duck), they don’t take any bookings past 8pm – because they expect you to stay.

How about an idea? Gather the best independent boutiques across Canada, and create one convenient shopping site. That’s exactly the premise behind the freshly launched Garmentory, a shop that not only curates the unique selections for us, but also let’s us play the game of haggle. Instead of clicking “purchase,” Garmentory let’s us “make an offer” the old school market way. Your offer will either be accepted or rejected by the store, but it certainly doesn’t hurt to try and save a couple of bucks. On our radar: Suno Rose Sweater ($396) from Violet Boutique (pictured) and the Braid Ring ($110) from Alynne Lavigne. Offers made, now we keep our fingers crossed. https://garmentory.com
