trustee hopeful who has attended every school board meeting since her last bid for a school board seat in November 2011 is taking another shot at a trustee spot. Karen Jarvis, who placed 11 out of 24 candidates during the last provincewide municipal elections with 1,562 votes, announced Monday that she intends to run in the Chilliwack school board’s SCAN November byWITH election. “The 2011 LAYAR election was a training session,” she said in a press release. “I am excited to be doing this again.” Jarvis, a mother of three who is currently taking a semester off from undergraduate studies in media and communications at UFV, said her regular attendance at school board meetings has kept her up to date on decisions made by the current board and shows her commitment to public education. “It shows people that I am truly investing in public education and specifically education in our school district,” she said. As a trustee, she said she intends to make sure the board follows through on its commitments, See JARVIS, Page 3

Double stabbing at pub

One arrested, police still looking for second man

olice have arrested one man and are looking for a second after a double stabbing at the District Public House in downtown Chilliwack Sunday. “We are asking that second person to turn himself in,” RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Len vanNieuwenhuizen told theTimes. The fight, which left one man in serious condition and another in stable condition at Chilliwack General Hospital, broke out in the upstairs lounge of the downtown pub at around 7:20 p.m. By the time staff headed upstairs, the altercation had broken up and

game of pool.” The men made their way to the pub steps outside, where they were taken away by ambulance after District staff called 9-1-1. Stuart, who was called to the scene from his home nearby shortly after

RCMP have confirmed they have one man in custody and are now looking for a second person of interest. Stuart calls the incident at his establishment “devastating.” “We haven’t even had a noise complaint in the last year and a half,” he said. “We’ve worked really hard in the last year and a half to build a really safe and fun environment, and . . . within a couple of seconds and minutes, all that hard work can go because of somebody’s bad judgment over a pool game.”

new curling rink, more artificial turf, a renovated Landing Sports Centre and the elimination of the Rotary Pool might all be on the 10year horizon in Chilliwack. These are just a few of the short-, medium- and long-term suggestions in the city’s Parks, Recreation and Culture Department’s strategic master plan, which is currently available for public input. The future of Evergreen Hall and the Rotary Pool will be of particular interest to those who use those facilities. The draft consultant’s report suggests the eventual elimination of the latter and the replacement of the former, although not any time soon. “There is no reason to believe that the demise of Evergreen Hall is imminent, so there is no urgency to this recommendation,” the report states. “But it would be prudent to have a long-term tactical plan for what will happen when it no longer is able to serve the community in its current capacity. “ As for the Rotary Pool, declining use and increasing difficulties with upkeep led to the suggestion that it

Heritage designation for Gervan Residence & Stonehurst

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

wo Chilliwack homes are now official heritage sites after a city hall presentation Thursday. O w n e r s o f p ro p e r t i e s known as Stonehurst and the Gervan Residence were presented with plaques and their homes are now protected under the city’s recently updated heritage designation policy. “Chilliwack has an incredible history and recognizing homes that are historically significant is important to the city,” Mayor Sharon Gaetz said in a press release. “We are proud of our history and of the incredible job both residences have done to lovingly preserve their heritage homes.” Gaetz went to the so-called Gervan House at 46054 First Ave. on Thursday to meet with owner Linda Phelps.

Stonehurst received heritage status from the city on Thursday. later went to Stonehurst, at 46290 Yale Rd., to meet with its owners, Rob O’Brennan and Gwyneth Jones. The owners of both homes had applied to the city for the heritage status. Those designation requests were approved after a public hearing held at city hall on June 4. The designation amounts to a notice on title that regulates any changes to the exterior of the buildings. Most communities have created heritage commissions to help designate heritage properties, but city staff say they have received so few requests that a commission was not recommended. Instead, the city paid for statements of significance to be prepared by a consultant

to describe the heritage value and character-defining elements of the homes. Both the homes Gaetz attended Thursday to hand out plaques help tell the story of Chilliwack’s history. In 1908, the Gervan family moved to Chilliwack and became involved in the city. Harry Gervan opened a hardware store on Wellington Street and served as a city alderman in 1909, 1910 and 1912 and mayor in 1913. The home is now owned by Phelps, whose father before her owned the property. Stonehurst at 46290 Yale Rd. was built by Chauncey Eckert in 1909. The home is best known recently as the location of the now-closed La Mansione restaurant.

Space heaters cause fires

wo homeowners were injured in separate space-heater-related fires over the weekend. On Saturday at about 2 p.m., firefighters responded to a reported propane tank fire at the 45000 block of Westview Avenue. Upon arrival crews found a 50-pound propane tank on fire in the backyard of a single family residential home. The fire was quickly extinguished and the tank cooled. The homeowner had been inside his shop connecting a propane tank to a space heater. When he went to light the heater, the propane ignited and fire flashed in his face. He suffered second-degree burns and was treated by paramedics. On Sunday, a man was sent to hospital after trying to fight a fire caused by a space heater in his own home. At 10:30 p.m. firefighters responded to a

structure fire in the 9900 block of Merritt Drive. Upon arrival, they found thick smoke and fire showing from a second-floor bedroom window in a two-storey, single-family home. Firefighters entered the building and quickly suppressed the fire. There was extensive fire and smoke damage to the second-floor bedroom with smoke damage to the remainder of the house. A smoke alarm had alerted the homeowner to smoke on the second floor. He went across the street to a neighbour’s house to have them call 9-1-1 but re-entered the home to fight the fire. He suffered burns to his lower arms and smoke inhalation injuries and was sent to Chilliwack General Hospital. Fire officials are reminding residents space heaters should be kept at least one metre or three feet away from all combustibles.

Cities join ranks of walking dead

love ghost towns. There’s something amazing about being the only human being walking through a vast and utterly empty, human-constructed realm. At least half the appeal of the zombie movie comes from the weird emptiness of the world. Whack a few shambling corpses over the head, and you can live anywhere you want! Dibs on the library! There have always been ghost towns. Every human-inhabited continent is dotted with the remains of towns that were abandoned, after the residents ran out of water, or food, or were turned into a decorative pile of skulls outside the front gates by a barbarian horde. The Black Death left many villages empty, as the few survivors just left. The 30 Years War in Europe was so vicious—today we’d see it as ethnic cleansing—that it left vast areas depopulated. There’s never been a better time than now to be a lover of ghost towns, because they’re making brand new ones. Traditionally, you get a ghost town like this: people move in, they set up a town, something goes catastrophically wrong (famine, pestilence, economic collapse, nuclear reactor meltdown, underground coal seam fire) and everybody leaves/drops dead. Now China and a few other countries are just building ghost towns from scratch.

MATTHEW CLAXTON

Be Our Guest Ordos City is one of the most famous of these ghost cities. The actual ghost town is the new city— the old Ordos was a standard issue boom town. When China’s economy started heading skyward like an Atlas rocket, power plants needed coal. Inner Mongolia had lots of coal. Miners came and Ordos grew and grew, and then planned for a massive, new town site that would put all its previous expansions to shame. And they overshot. There are a few people living in Ordos, but they amount to one or two families living in apartment blocks built for hundreds. China also has one of the contenders for the world’s largest mall (sorry West Edmonton), the New South China Mall. South China is where a lot of the factories that supply the west were built, and the mall is built just east of Guangzhou, one of the country’s largest cities. Yet from its opening in 2005, the mall had a 99 per cent vacancy rate for the next several years. The owner claims things have picked up recently, but there are reports that unfinished sections of the mall are now in danger of collapsing.

Canada is no stranger to this kind of building boom madness and resource-grabbing overshoot. One of the most famous examples in recent years is Kitsault, a scenic little town of about 2,400 people that existed for exactly three years and then was closed up. A company town, it was built for molybdenum miners and opened in 1980, on the extreme north coast of B.C. The mine owners didn’t want their workers to get dissatisfied and quit, so they included a mall, a community centre, a library, and a small hospital. Then the price of molybdenum crashed in 1982, and six months later everyone was gone. Kitsault has popped up in the news because the entire town was kept intact and maintained over the years, and it has come up for sale a few times. If Canada had a population of more than a billion, Kitsault and towns like it might have been built on the scale of Ordos City, rather than as a little village. China, and maybe Kitsault, should consider new industries for their empty towns. Tourists would probably pay good money to come and to take part in Mad Max or zombie apocalypse tourism. Get a few locals dressed as bikers or the walking dead, and you’ve got a brand new industry. ◗ Matthew Claxton is a reporter with the LangleyAdvance.

ard on the heels of a leaked report stating B.C. Hydro customers can look forward to a rate hike of up to 26 per cent in the near future, comes unfortunately timed information about the bloated salaries paid to many at the Crown corporation. According to a recent report, almost half of those working for the utility make more than $100,000, while over 10 per cent make more than $150,000. Top executives made far more. It’s all extremely bad optics for a corporation pleading poverty and sending earnest messages about how the piper will soon have to be paid. Speaking of the piper, it’s certainly true that many of B.C. Hydro’s large, structural issues that have led to a financial crunch can be laid at the feet of the province. It was the province that decided B.C. Hydro must buy power from independent power producers at higher than market rates. It’s the province that has also repeatedly dipped into the Hydro piggy bank to prop up its own dubious budgeting practices. In terms of the over-the-top salaries, however, the corporation itself stands to squarely to blame. The latest revelation comes two years after a public report criticized B.C. Hydro for its high salaries. It also comes at a time when the province is supposedly cracking down on exorbitant packages paid in the public sector. But the province continues to be compromised when it comes to B.C. Hydro. It’s hard to demand cuts while simultaneously bleeding the corporation for revenue. When it comes to tightening belts at B.C.

Don’t believe the pessimists, we can do it

Editor: In response to your Times editorial of Sept. 24, I am happy to provide some clarification around jobs numbers and the success of the BC Jobs Plan. 17,600: The number of private-sector jobs that have been added in B.C. since August 2011, the last month before the Jobs Plan became operational (according to Statistics Canada). $74 billion: Value of proposed private-sector projects developed since September 2011, $16 billion of which is now in the construction phase. Three million: Unique visitors to the www.workbc. ca website since its launch in April 2012. All of these numbers show that there is considerable interest in investing and working in British Columbia. We want to work together to secure our economy because it allows us to invest in communities, to build a prosperous British Columbia and to contribute to a strong Canada. There are many pessimists who say we can’t do it—but we can. Look at what we’ve already achieved in our pursuit of a new liquefied natural gas industry. Chevron Apache has invested $800 million preparing an export site and has 500 people working on the project. Those are real investments and real jobs. And more will come with seven companies having applied for export licences—three of those applications approved. For more information on our economic progress so far, I encourage your readers to view the 24-Month Progress Report in its entirety at www.bcjobsplan.ca/learnabout-the-plan.

Harper throws a ‘Hail Mary’ Editor: It doesn’t come as any surprise that the Harper government is starting to throw, “Hail Mary” passes, in regards to swaying the Coastal First Nations to join in helping them to possibly bestow great environmental damage to Northern B.C. and the coastal waters of the North Pacific, with the Northern Gateway pipeline. The appointment of Mark Strahl to Aboriginal Affairs sits in the face of the Coastal First Nations leaders Art Sterritt and Ed John, who have vowed that, “First Nations are completely opposed to heavy-oil pipelines.” Though this is the stand of

the of First Nations and its leaders, for some uncanny reason the Harper government just doesn’t get it. So what do they do? They appoint another parliamentary secretary to a file that was formerly run by his father. No patronage there. Though some would consider this appointment as a peace pipe offering to our First Nations, the reality is the First Nations have become hardened to our poison. Why are they going to listen to someone they perceive who has no idea of their plights?

Someone who could care less about the eventual poisoning of their lands and their waters. Someone whose only real concern is if they win in the next election. If the Harper government wants a new deal with the Coastal First Nations or all First Nations for that matter, as well as a great number of softened environmentalists who realize cleaner is better than the norm, then the conversion to natural gas and alternate sources is the future. Why waste billions of dol-

lars on infrastructure that will go obsolete in the next few decades, when obviously with all the new found gas reserves all around the world, that this is the way we are headed to supply all of our energy needs. Gas is more plentiful, cleaner, cheaper and does far less ecosystem damage in burning and in any possible leakage. So the appointment of Mark Strahl as parliamentary secretary to Aboriginal Affairs is nothing more than the Harper government “grasping at straws” when it comes to ideas how to sway our First Nations people into something most of us don’t want and none of us need. Art Green Hope

Time for city to protect children Editor: I would like to clarify an assumption that many people make which is that all schools automatically have

a school zone speed limit imposed. Not true and certainly not true in Chilliwack. We still have an elementary school in Chilliwack (Evans) that does not have a lower and safer speed limit for their students. A school zone classification is subjectively determined by each municipality which is why we have middle school students with a school zone in Chilliwack and elementary students. I would still love to see my city correct this and protect all of our students, current and future. Tracy Gray Chilliwack

Schools Garden program great Editor: I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the families, business, and especially the volunteers who support the Chilliwack Schools Garden Program. We had the pleasure of attending the awards cer-

emony this past Wednesday at Strathcona elementary and my son was absolutely thrilled to be recognized for his efforts in the Junior Container Garden category. All of the young people who participated did a wonderful job, judging by the photos, posters and journals on display and the glowing remarks from the judges’ panel. This was our first year participating and certainly not our last. I encourage everyone with school-aged children to consider joining the program next year. What a great way to teach our kids about the effort that goes in to growing the food we eat and how much fun it can be to take an active role in the process. Crystal Hemsworth Chilliwack

Chief Brandon Volpe battles for the puck with Spruce King Derek Bulmer during second-period action in the Chiefs’ 2-1 loss Saturday.

Chiefs struggle with confidence BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

BCHL notes

Prince George Spruce King defenceman Karan Toor was named the BCHL Player of the Week for the week ending Sept. 29. Toor helped the Spruce Kings to a perfect, threegame road swing to the Lower Mainland, which included Saturday’s win in Chilliwack, and picked up the first BCHL goals of his career in the process.

hey say the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. The Chilliwack Chiefs may be learning the same can sometimes be said about winning and losing hockey games. After two tough losses on the weekend that saw just three goals of offence, coach Harvey Smyl said the team needs to work on their confidence in the face of adversity. “Our offence has been an issue,” he said. “We are still trying to find chemistry within the lines, chemistry in the room. And confidence when you are struggling. Frustration becomes an issue when you are struggling.”

The Chiefs lost 2-1 to the Prince George Spruce Kings Saturday at Prospera Centre in a game some fans likely thought the team should have won. The weekend of hockey started well as Zach Diamantoni potted his first as a Chief and the team’s first power play goal with less than a minute to go in the first. Diamantoni tucked it in after a wellexecuted box saw Austin Plevy drive along the goal line and feed the new Chief in the crease. But that was it for the Chiefs as the Spruce Kings fought back with a second period power-play

BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

ix hundred fans and a brand new pep band were on hand Friday to cheer on two G.W. Graham Grizzlies football teams as they christened the brand new turf at Exhibition Park. “We were super happy with our first regular season home games on the new turf at Exhibition Field,” G.W.G. athletic director Jake Mouritzen told the Times. “The city has created a first-class facility that will be enjoyed by many different sports organizations in Chilliwack.” The senior Grizzlies, who went down 29-0 to Rick Hansen, might have hoped for a better score for the first varsity football game in Chilliwack since 1982 when Sardis secondary’s football program folded. But the jury’s still out on what the lopsided result might mean for the Grizzlies season, according to head coach Laurie Smith. Last week, Smith said the game would be a clear measuring stick for where his

JVs are a “very very good team,” Smith said.

Great effort, no wins

Defence improved CHIEFS, from page 10

he University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) Cascades soccer teams made strong efforts on Saturday, but didn’t bring home any wins. Embattled by a torrential downpour, the University of Victoria Vikes defeated the UFV Cascades women’s team, 2-0, in Victoria. The Cascades played a strong first half, shooting numerous early shots on goal. They continued to pressure the veteran Vikes, forcing four corner kicks where they narrowly missed scoring the game’s first goal in the 10-minute mark of the match. UFV rookie midfielder Carley Radomski and seasoned forward Carly Neeson tested the Victoria goalkeeper with runs and point blank shots. A second shot off the foot of Neeson was almost deflected into the Vikes net by

The 2-1 scoreline lasted until the 13-minute mark when the Silverbacks ended the threat and scored two goals in just 23 seconds. A minute later the Chiefs got one back from Kurt Black who tipped a seemingly harmless Cooper Rush point shot. But that was all they could muster and Silverback Landon Smith ended any chance of a comeback with an empty net goal. Despite the losses, Smyl was happy to see an improved effort from the rearguard. “I thought we made some huge strides defensively,” he said. “Some really good highlights on the back end, which has been an area of focus for us.”

a Victoria defender. UFV goalkeeper Kayla Klim also felt the pressure, but made eight saves that night, earning her the title of UFV’s player of the game. The Cascades Canada West regular season record fell to 2-3-1. The UFV Cascades men’s team improved their season record 4-3-1, following a 1-1 tie against the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) Timberwolves in Chilliwack. UFV challenged the Timberwolves with 30 shots on goal, but UNBC goalkeeper Tyrone Venhola made numerous saves on point blank shots, and tallied 13 saves throughout the night. Despite his determination, Venhola was beaten once by UFV veteran midfielder Justin Sekhon at the 68th minute mark.

MEND-ing our children

Free health program for kids at YMCA BY SHARRON HO Chilliwack Times

he Chilliwack Family YMCA will be offering children a free health and lifestyle program that has gained international repute for its effectiveness. The Mind, Exercise, Nutrition, Do it! (MEND) program—for children aged seven to 13 who are above a healthy weight—is designed to help children and their families develop behaviours that support sustainable, healthy lifestyles. “It’s nice that this program is so well established,” said Andrea Gieselman, MEND program facilitator. “It’s been run in the UK and other parts of North America for the last 13 years. It’s very well developed [and] very well researched with amazing results.” The program runs for 10 weeks in a series of two-hour sessions that begin with an educational component on material like reading food

The Mind, Exercise, Nutrition, Do it! (MEND) program will be coming to Chilliwack for the first time on Oct. 3. The 10-week program is geared towards helping children who are above a healthy weight, develop healthy behaviours. labels, serving sizes, building self-esteem and positive parenting. “The kids learn a lot, and the parents are there to support the kids, and also learn ways to help the children and help behaviour change in their home,” Gieselman said. Afterwards, children will participate in a physical activity session that takes a positive twist on fitness. With 30 to 40 per cent of children in B.C. above a healthy weight, Gieselman said the sooner unhealthy behaviours are tackled, the better. “We’re seeing those numbers sneak lower and lower into younger and younger ages and learning that there

are health implications associated with that that we typically only thought occurred in adults, such as hardening of the arteries,” she said. Proven health benefits of MEND include increased cardiovascular fitness, increased physical activity per week for participants and improvements in body image and self-esteem. MEND is funded through the Ministry of Health. The program begins Oct. 3 and runs Thursdays from 6 to 8 p.m. and Saturdays from 10:30 a.m. to noon. ◗ For more information or to sign up, contact Karen Bester at 604-792-3371 ext.2414 or karen.bester@vanymca.org.
