FALSE ALARM BYLAW FINALLY FIXED Owners will receive escalating fines for wasting emergency services time BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

Residents may have found way to stop project BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com
S
ixty residents have now filed a lawsuit against the City of Chilliwack to try to stop the project to raise the Young Road dike by one metre. The move comes a month after the group of mostly Young Road residents hired a lawyer to threaten a $2.8 million lawsuit if the city went ahead with the project. “We believe our clients have a strong case to argue, if the City proceeds with this ill-founded plan, to claim all of their damages relating to injurious affection, as well as direct physical damage, as a result of this proposed work on Young Road,” said a letter sent to the city. For financial reasons, however, the Notice of Civil Claim filed in BC Supreme Court on April 10 was done without a lawyer. A trial, therefore, is unlikely meaning the suit will serve as little more than a further threat to the municipality. Those who led the charge against the project think the more likely route to stop the project might be through the provincial government. { See DIKE, page A3 }

{ DIKE, from page A1 }
When construction crews came out to begin drainage work adjacent to the dike on April 13, Young Road resident Dave Hallett took photos. He is sure the work violates the province’s Dike Maintenance Act (DMA). Hallett—who is, incidentally, Mayor Sharon Gaetz’s brother—took photos of a crew working on drainage on Young Road not only on the toe of the dike but inches away from the paved road on top of the dike. The DMA says, in part: “a person or a diking authority must not make changes to a dike, or to the area adjacent to a dike without the prior written EB IRST approval of First reported on the Inspecchilliwacktimes.com tor of Dikes or a Deputy Inspector.” A city spokesperson told the Times that no DMA approval was required for the drainage work underway. Crews, however, suddenly stopped working on April 15 and did not resume work until April 22. When asked if this was because of the lawsuit or because of a possible reported contravention of the DMA, spokesperson Jamie Leggatt said via email: “The Provincial Regulator of the Dike Maintenance Act visited the site, reviewed the geotechnical information, and concurred that the drainage work did not affect the integrity of the existing dyke.”

She said the storm sewer work was stopped to allow the regulator to consider geotechnical information provided by the contractor’s engineer that also said the drainage work will not affect the dike. “That work is expected to re-commence shortly.” As for the Notice of Civil Claim, it includes a laundry list of reasons why raising Young Road is a bad idea, including claims that: the project will not offer any real flood protection; the moral choice is to extend Cartmell Road dike to Chilliwack Mountain to also protect First Nations land; and raising the road will cause irreparable harm and property value loss. In its statement of facts, the lawsuit says that using a paved road, such as Young, as a dike is a contravention of the DMA. It says the fact that several houses on Young Road are closer than 7.5 metres to the proposed dike project is a further contravention of flood protection rules. As for relief sought through the lawsuit, no money is asked for; the demand is that the Young Road construction not be started, an alternative plan extending Cartmell Road “will be seriously considered and investigated,” and approval for any further dike work is obtained from residents who are potentially affected. The city has until May 1 to respond to the Notice of Civil Claim.

Don’t be fooled by phishy tax return email swindle out by the thousands if not millions really. As long as your email address exists, eventually it seems you’re going to get this.” And though seniors are often thought of as more vulnerable, more youth fall victim to the crime as their sheer numbers in the digital world far outweigh the online elderly. But everyone is vulnerable at some point, even the computer savvy if they are hit at the wrong time Williams said. “Sometimes the planets line up so perfectly it’s the first time someone’s doing an online tax return and they get the email, and of course the phishing emails are spoofed really well,” he said. “So if your spidey senses are down even a little bit, it is easy to fall for it.” For those who find themselves at the mouse end of one of these emails, Williams’ advice is to delete it immediately. If the message is opened the CFAC would then be interested in receiving the information, but the organization would prefer people to recognize the kind of scam and delete it without opening the email.
Opening one of these messages and clicking on the link might download spyware onto a user’s computer. If a suspected fraudulent link is followed it’s a good idea to have your computer checked out, Williams said. The senior call-taker emphasizes that if someone has gone as far as clicking through and providing their bank information that before contacting anyone else, the victim should immediately contact their financial institution to
safeguard their money. If money has been taken he also advises people to start the dispute process as quickly as possible, and the CFAC would at that point be interested in the information. If any money is touched, even if the account holder gets the money returned to them Williams said the incident should be reported to local police. “A local police report where they’re actually signing on the dotted line and swearing to the events that they’ve
encountered goes a long way to protect them and allow them to get the help they need,” he said. And lastly, Williams recommends getting the word out. Publicity kills these frauds because it educates people on how to recognize them. A former firefighter, McLaren is doing just that in an effort to help protect her fellow Chilliwack residents—especially around tax time when they might be more easily duped. “A lot of people are waiting for refunds and they think now with mod-
ern technology everyone’s getting it via email and a money transfer,” she said. Fortunately for her and thousands of other recipients, McLaren’s scam mail had the word “Agenty” instead of Agency in the subject line. Not everyone will be so lucky.

e a t h e r Mc L a ren looked in her email inbox last week and saw something that seemed out of place. There was a message from Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) that claimed to be a link to her tax return in the form of an Interac e-transfer. It asked her to click the link to deposit the money, but her mail application had tagged it as junk and it looked suspicious. And there was also the fact that McLaren hadn’t filed yet. “When you click on that, then they pull up stuff on your computer and some people are very naive,” she said. “They will go on and give their bank information, and then they scam and take money out of your account.” She is wary of such scams because her mother was a victim to identity theft three years ago. So instead McLaren called CRA and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) to report the suspect email.
This message is a form of the most common of the tax email swindles that are sent out by the thousands every day, known as “Dear Taxpayer” frauds by the CAFC. There are as many variations as there are fraudsters, but they all have one thing in common: they target connected citizens who are either increasingly tolerant (even careless) about online money transactions, and those who are naive when it comes to the concept of digital dollars. And even if the phishers don’t get enough information to lead to a real bank transfer this time, if an unsuspecting clicker enters enough personal information, they will store it away to make a future email look even more convincing. Contrary to what many people think there is no noticeable spike in tax fraud emails around tax season, said Daniel Williams senior call-taker supervisor at the CAFC, people are just more susceptible at this time of year. “It’s a constant flood of it,” he said. “They’re going

Judge finds James guilty in uttering threats case BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com
O
ne week before local prolific offender Troy James faces a preliminary inquiry for charges connected to a home invasion and car jacking, he was found guilty of uttering threats in connection with an unrelated incident. The 25-year-old James faced two counts of uttering threats after two separate incidents, the latter of which in June 2014 ended with a gun fired through the window of a home where his ex-girlfriend lived. In Chilliwack provincial court in March, 21-year-old Alysha Archie testi-

Later that month or in April, she said James called her at her mother’s house and threatened her. “He said ‘I’m going to come there and beat the s--t out of you and anyone who gets in my way,” she said. James did come over, during which time Archie hid in her grandmother’s room in the house. Then in June of that year, the young woman was asleep in the morning in her new boyfriend’s house on the Shx:whay Village reserve in Chilli-

Judge Gregory Brown found at times to be “combative and immature,” he found her to be reliable. “The evidence of Miss Archie confirms the conduct,” Brown said in court April 15. “There was animus between Alysha Archie and Mr. James, but her testimony was consistent.” And while no one witnessed who fired the gun into the house, Brown said it didn’t matter because James was a party to the threatening conduct. He was “at the very least a co-perpetrator of the threatening conduct. . . . At a minimum, Mr. James acted in con-

Police detained at least two people during their response to an unfounded weapons complaint at Woodbine Street and Maple Avenue Monday.
hilliwack RCMP is looking for help from the public to find information about two serious incidents last week—a stabbing and an armed robbery. On April 10 at 1:45 a.m. a man was walking in the 45600 block of Patten Avenue when, according to witnesses, an altercation broke out between the man and two to three other males. During the altercation, the man was allegedly stabbed with a weapon. The man sustained life-threatening injuries but has since been released from hospital. Chilliwack RCMP, with support from the Lower Mainland Integrated Police Dog Service, conducted a search of the area but were unable to locate the suspects. “Serious Crime Section investigators are actively investigating this incident and continue to canvas residents in the 45600 block of Patten Avenue for witnesses,” said RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Mike Rail. ”Police believe this was not a random act and the victim was targeted by

Archie testified that’s when the woman yelled “Troy! Troy!” “I said, ‘oh my God, something is going to happen,’” Archie testified. “I ran into the bathtub and hid. . . . I heard a gunshot and I heard glass shatter and then I really freaked out.” A bullet hole was found in the ceiling of the home and remnants of a bullet were found on the floor. Despite Archie’s testimony, which

Throughout the proceedings, including when the judge read his decision, James exhibited no emotion except when he exchanged smiles with family members in the gallery. On Thursday, James was due back in court alongside co-accused Jonathon David Olson for a preliminary inquiry. The two face numerous serious charges in connection with an Oct. 4, 2014 incident that allegedly involved a home invasion at a mistaken address in Chilliwack, followed by a car jacking and a police chase.
his attacker.” The second, unrelated, incident happened on April 12 at 6:40 p.m. when a man and woman allegedly left a business in the 8200 block of Eagle Landing Parkway without paying for their merchandise. They then allegedly stole a taxi after spraying an employee and the cab driver with an unknown substance, possibly pepper spray. The suspects are described as a large Caucasian male approximately 32 to 40 years old wearing dark clothing, and a Caucasian female with light-coloured, shoulder length hair. One victim sprayed during the robbery was examined and released from hospital. “Chilliwack G eneral Investigation Support Team with the RCMP Forensic Identification Services is actively following leads in this investigation,” Rail said. ◗ Anyone with info is asked to contact Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 (TIPS).

Is Earth Day necessary?
◗ Publisher
S
ome would argue that the 20th-century concept of a single day of environmental activism in a time when electric cars are becoming more popular and everybody seems to be recycling is an anachronism. In many ways, the Earth Day still practised in schools and parks resembles the early days. The event that falls each April 22 was started in 1970 by an environmentally minded U.S. Senator to perpetuate “consciousness raising.” The world was a different place back then: hairspray contained chlorofluorocarbons, people smoked everywhere, and there were no concerns about anything a vehicle emitted. Four decades ago, the creation of Earth Day started the process of changing our way of thinking about the planet and in the education of future generations. But in 2015, do we need Earth Day anymore? To be sure, we’ve got a long way left to go, but the lessons of 41 years are so ingrained in society that reducing, reusing, and recycling is second nature to individuals and corporations alike. Maybe the point of Earth Day could be revised to celebrate how far we’ve come and remind us that continued environmental progress is the only path.

Hard lessons from local elections
L
ocal elections across B.C. were supposed to be buried and done with last November, but some of the fallout from a few races is still coming home to roost and there are a few lessons to learn from it. The top ones? Local elections are a perilous time to be a chief administrative officer (CAO), the passing the buck saga continues unabated and whoever knew that basic math could be so difficult. If B.C. has a hunting season on CAOs, it falls in the 12-week window following local elections. Since November, at least eight councils have bid adieu to their CAOs. They include: Prince George, Salmo, Rossland and Mission. Some of the departures have been relatively hassle-free, but costly. Others just leave you shaking your head in amazement. Take Grand Forks, where the incoming council fired the CAO, Doug Allin, last December, costing ratepayers $200,000 in severance. In February, after reviewing more than 40 candidates, Grand Forks hired a new CAO – Doug Allin – at a salary of $133,000. Magnanimously, he agreed to give up some banked overtime. Logan Lake has hired a new CAO
DERMOD TRAVIS Be Our Guest to step in for the interim CAO who stepped in after the last CAO left who had been hired to replace the retiring CAO. All that in two years. In Colwood, the city has hired an interim CAO, Gary Nason, to replace the fired CAO who had only been hired 11 months earlier to replace the then interim CAO, Chris Pease, who had been hired after Colwood split with its former CAO, Ross McPhee, who had been hired in 2011 to replace the retiring CAO, Chris Pease. For some reason, an Abbott and Costello skit comes to mind. Meanwhile, in Saanich, incoming mayor Richard Atwell single-handedly boxed council into firing the district’s CAO Paul Murray in December. Cost? $480,000. None of this is a recent phenomenon either. When Larry Campbell took over as mayor of Vancouver, 10 severance agreements were signed within a year,
some with up to 14 months in severance. When Sam Sullivan took over, nine agreements, some up to nine months in severance. And when Gregor Robertson took over, seven agreements, some up to 20 months in severance. Then there’s the little routine that seems to be going on again between the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development and Elections B.C. It goes like this: “No, I’m terribly sorry but you’ll have to call Elections B.C. about that,” which is promptly followed on the second call by “No, regrettably, you’ll have to call the ministry on that.” Recent reforms to legislation governing local elections were meant to put some teeth into the law and bring an end to passing the buck between various government agencies. Politicians aren’t boy scouts. The honour code isn’t going to work. One agency needs to step-up and enforce the law. The third lesson? City halls need to learn how to count. According to estimates by the communities that comprise Metro Vancouver, there were 1.68 million eligible voters in the region last November. According to Elections BC, there are 1.55 million registered voters. Bit of a
difference. One would expect a drop-off between eligible voters (those who have the right to vote) and registered voters (those on the list), but not 8.5 per cent. You also wouldn’t expect the number of registered voters to be higher than the number of eligible voters, yet it was in seven of Metro Vancouver’s 23 communities. What’s the impact of a bad count? In New Westminster, the turnout was reported to be 28.4 per cent last November. It was actually 32 per cent. Currently, local councils can choose one of three ways to build a voters list: voters register when they vote, conduct their own enumeration or use B.C.’s permanent voters list. The transit and transportation plebiscite underway in Metro Vancouver makes a compelling case for municipalities to use the permanent list. Permanently. And before anyone in Metro Vancouver gets their knickers in a knot over the difference between eligible and registered voters, Elections B.C. has it right, but it doesn’t instill much confidence when city halls can have it so wrong. ◗ Dermod Travis is the executive director of IntegrityBC. www.integritybc.ca.

Please remember, brevity is the soul of wit. still Canada Post haven’t fixed the mail theft epidemic. I guess the real issue is why the fix has not been a priority. Looks like big brother just uses excuses, they say how concerned they are and a solution will come shortly? I have waited 15 years and still no solution. Just think how many times this happens across the country and how many “customers” have been made to drive in some cases 10s if not hundreds of kilometres to pick their mail up at some secure location until Canada Post gets around to replace the same boxes vandals have ripped open, not to mention the identities that have been stolen. Why haven’t these so called superboxes been designed with a camera installed? I’m sure they could make a small housing that could withstand the punishment of vandals and maybe, just maybe, it may even deter the same from messing with our mail and identities so we don’t get ripped off twice from one theft. Come on Canada Post, either fix this once and for all or deliver our mail to our doors once again or give it to a private company that can get the job done, we are sick to death of getting stepped on—fix it.

Politicians need to step up to the truth Editor: Last week’s letter from Jack Carradice was very interesting, but not because of the silly comments about a hardworking and insightful journalist. Nor does Mr. Carradice add anything to the climate change discussion. His failure to mention greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide brings to mind Rip Van Winkle, who slept for a long time. Even the CEO of ExxonMobil admitted in 2012 that burning fossil fuels is warming the planet. The most important thing Mr. Carradice says is, “I guess I fall into the category of skeptic or denier.”
This raises a flag, and puts him together with some of the most powerful politicians in the U.S. These mainly Republican types honed their skeptic skills when researchers learned that cigarette smoking causes lung cancer. The tobacco industry is very wealthy, and had no trouble finding politicians willing to deny the truth. The same thing goes on with the fossil fuel business. Apparently there’s a similar situation in today’s Canada. Most thinking people today realize that it’s important to shift to alternative energy. B.C. already has fairly advanced alternative energy companies that are presently sidelined because of lack of political will. A carbon tax would help them. Bill Thomas Chilliwack

Editor: I’m writing in regards to the complaints of noise over Chilliwack caused by Super Dave Mathieson while practising his AirShow routine. I for one have no problem with it. I understand that he must do this in order to perfect his routine, and to keep his mind and body in shape, so he can be safe while doing his awesome stunts for the crowds of fans who come to the free air show that is held here at our little Chilliwack Airport in August. Dave is well known all over the world, and he and his crew have made Chilliwack their home. It would be a terrible shame to lose them and the business they can generate that we can all benefit from. I am disappointed in the lack of tolerance that a small group of people have shown and voiced, please stop the pettiness and allow Super Dave to do what he does best, and that is fly and bring joy to the young and old. Please contact Transport Canada and retract your complaints—you know who you are. A. Meyers Chilliwack

Editor: My son Adam was killed when he fell from the back of a truck. He’d had a few beers and was holding onto the truck cab. He asked the driver to slow down, he was going too fast. As he turned to high-five his friend (also in the back of the truck) the driver cranked the wheel to throw the boys off balance. These kids had previously played a game where the object was to throw a kid off the back into a ditch by cranking the wheel. This young man wasn’t hurt. I had told my son Adam . . . “Don’t ever do that again.” The timing this time was unfortunate. As well, the driver was going too fast. Adam was thrown toward the ditch, but he didn’t hit dirt. He hit pavement. His head was badly fractured across the back. He bounced down the road—so fast that his lungs were bruised. The driver was devastated. In his wildest dreams he’d never anticipated that his friend would be killed. This is the burden he’ll carry his whole life. There are many of us who have also been devastated by the loss of Adam—a truly fine young man who loved his family and friends with passion. Our lives are forever changed if the driver were to speak to other young men about this experience I would want them to know this: - You are more precious than you will ever know. Please protect yourself and love your family by keeping yourself safe; - When you’re driving, you are responsible for every person in your care. This is your responsibility and your passengers families are trusting you to keep their loved ones safe. Don’t carry more passengers than allowed, don’t speed, don’t play driving games, make sure everyone is buckled up. Don’t drive under any influences—alcohol or pot. Don’t drive distracted (i.e. texting); - Expect the unexpected, you never know what is around the corner; - You are not exempt from injury or death because you feel so young and powerful. Your bodies are fragile and are easily broken, and if you survive a bad accident . . . it probably will not go well for you; - Don’t be the fun kid; be the careful kid. You’ll be glad you did.

And darkness was defeated BY REV. WILLEM H. VAN DE WALL Cooke’s Presbyterian Church
“After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.” Matthew 28: 1-3
I
n 1914, British explorer Ernest Shackleton set out to explore Antarctica with a crew of adventurous men. Shackleton’s plan was to land his ship, The Endurance, and walk across the South Pole. His mission had to be terminated because The Endurance was unable to endure the polar ice. Shackleton’s crew was stranded for months. After rescuers found the crew, they were asked to reveal the most horrendous difficulty they experienced in Antarctica. They answered that it was not starvation. Neither was it the bitter cold or the pain of frost bite. The most horrible difficulty they had to endure was darkness. The sun doesn’t rise from mid-May to late June at the South Pole making total darkness an unwelcome companion. This deep darkness causes people to lose
their sense of direction. You can’t see where you are going, nor can you see where you have been. It removes the natural time piece that helps us to measure our days. It will steal away one’s rhythm of life. It can bring about depression and loneliness and cause one to lose their sense of who they are. On the morning of the Resurrection of Jesus, two women were on their way to the tomb. They went there to anoint the body of their Lord. And as they walked it was still dark according to the apostle John’s version of the resurrection. But you see, it was spiritual darkness that overwhelmed them at that moment. Jesus, their Master, was dead and He was buried in a tomb. And with Him all their hopes were buried as well. We have to appreciate that spiritual darkness is far worse than physical darkness. Spiritual darkness causes people to still feel hopeless in darkness, even when they are brought into the brightest light. The wonder of the resurrection of Jesus Christ was that sin and death, with darkness were conquered forever. From that dark tomb over 2,000 years ago Jesus came forth with an everlasting light that drove darkness away. In any place we can think of where people think that it so dark and hopeless, the message is, “God has defeated darkness.” Yes, those who hide in dark back alleys in
New York or Paris or Vancouver or Chilliwack or wherever they might be, have to hear the Good News—The light of Jesus is for them; His light will set them free. There is a condition for any person who have come to the light of Jesus. We read about that in Ephesians 5: 8, “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light.” We have to make sure that our daily walk is in the light of Jesus. There are so many people who allow darkness to come into their marriages, their families, the work place and their friendships. And darkness will destroyed what is beautiful. No we have to be people of the light of Jesus. Each day we have to make a deliberated choice—“I will go with the light of Jesus before me.” Quite often when a mother holds a new born baby it goes through her mind, “How will this precious child of mine get through life with all the challenges and all the influences?” The only answer is—Let Jesus Christ be the guiding Light of that child’s life. Let He be the guiding Light for every single person in the world. ◗ Rev.

› Letters { LETTERS, from page A9 } therefore have no vested interest in the discussion as to whether or not The Magic of Reality should be distributed. But I do take issue with the heading and content of Rock’s letter, because it demonstrates the common fallacy of equating “evolution” with “science.” Science is the body of knowledge gained through the discovery and verification of natural laws by repeatable experiments. No Christian I know of has an issue with science. As a matter of fact, many Christians in the past played key roles in developing the foundations of modern science (e.g. Johannes Kepler, Robert Boyle, Isaac Newton, James Joule, Louis Pasteur, and many others). We all gratefully use the discoveries of science (penicillin, microwaves, the principles of flight, etc.) today. Who in their right mind would want to argue against such useful and elegant discoveries? Our issue is not with science. Evolution, on the other hand, is the process by which organisms are said to have evolved from earlier forms.
Marginalizing the questioners
The theory of evolution is a powerful paradigm for making sense of the world as we see it today. However, properly speaking it is not in the same category as science, because it deals with the past. As such, many of the claims made in the name of evolution are not verifiable in the same way as are claims made, for instance, regarding the boiling point of water. My point is not to prove or disprove any aspect of the theory of evolution. My point is simply that it is fallacious to reduce “science” to “evolution”, and then to say that anyone who questions the theory of evolution therefore has discarded science as a whole and must be marginalized. If the theory of evolution is being taught as a principle that may not be questioned, it has become a dogma. And then how is it different from the religious beliefs that Rock caricatures in his letter? Abel C. Pol, M.Div. Pastor of the Chilliwack Canadian Reformed Church

Clerk knockout during robbery
BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com
Chilliwack Court saw a disturbing video Friday of a store clerk apparently knocked unconscious after being thrown to the ground by an alleged thief. Herbert Hanuse, 24, of the Cheam reserve in Chilliwack faces one count each of robbery, wearing a disguise to commit robbery, possession of a weapon dangerous to the public, and assault causing bodily harm in connection with the April 3 incident at the convenience store at the roundabout in Popkum. Hanuse faces numerous charges in connection with two other robberies this year, one at the Wells Road Grocery store, and another from 2012. Hanuse was in court Friday for a bail hearing alongside Allan Edward

Rusk, 32, also of the Cheam reserve, who is alleged to have driven a getaway car after the Wells Road robbery on April 9. Despite the fact that it was Hanuse’s first contact with the criminal justice system, and that Rusk’s charge is relatively minor, Judge Steven Point denied releasing the men on their own recognizance pointing to the importance of instilling public confidence in the courts. “We don’t want the public to start thinking dimly of us, that we are not doing our job,” Point told the men. During the bail hearing the court saw a video of the April 3 incident in which a masked man storms into the store with what appears to be a knife, knocking over products in front of the cash.

from behind the counter with a golf club, a clash ensues and he is knocked down and is apparently unconscious for a few seconds. That’s when the alleged thief goes behind the counter, comes back out, clashes briefly again with the clerk and flees. Crown counsel Paul Blessin said Hanuse has confessed in detail to all four of the robberies with which he is charged. Rusk, who has an extensive criminal record, also faces charges in Port Coquitlam in connection with the theft of a vehicle, the same vehicle alleged to have been used to transport Hanuse after the April 9 robbery. The two men were remanded to the Surrey Pretrial Centre and are due back in court May 5.

t has been a soaring 10 years for Chris Bertram so far in his role as the head coach of the University of the Fraser Valley’s (UFV) Cascades golf team. In the decade under his guidance, the UFV men’s and women’s Cascades have won multiple championships at the provincial (PACWEST) level and have each also claimed a national (CCAA) gold—and that’s just a sampling of a long list of the Bertram-led achievements. Add to that the individual athletes’ accomplishments and Bertram’s own honours, and it’s hard to imagine how the CCAA Canadian golf coach of the year could improve his resumé. But he has managed to do just that. Bertram was recently selected as the head coach of Team Canada for the 2015 Summer Universiade in Gwangju, South Korea. “Last year it was a pretty big honour for me to be chosen as an assistant coach on [the World University Championships] coaching staff,” he said. “So getting promoted to head coach this year for the men’s team is pretty flattering.” Bertram and recently-graduated UFV golfer Aaron Pauls went to the Worlds last year in Switzerland, but this is an even bigger event according to the coach. “It’s technically the second largest gathering of athletes outside the Summer Olympics,” he said. “It’s bigger than the Winter Olympics.” With more than 10,000 participants in 2013 compared to Sochi’s fewer than 3,000 athletes the year after, that’s an understatement. Pauls, who has now moved on to study a postgraduate degree at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), is still eligible to participate in the Universiade and hopes he can join his former coach and good friend in Korea. “Especially after last year having

The best meatballs . . . ever!
Chef Dez Meatballs for any occasion! “Combining two different types of meat gives the meatballs more complex flavour. Customize them for any application with one tablespoon of your desired dried herbs/spices.”
W
alking through a warehouse store the other day, a package of frozen meatballs caught my attention. I said to my wife, “I wonder how many people actually buy these,” and a small discussion between her and I, surrounding this topic, ensued. I love meatballs in pasta dishes, sandwiches, soups, stews, and other applications, but I would never dream of buying them premade. There is obviously a place in the market for convenience foods, I get that. And although my comment above was made partially in jest, I do realize that people have busy lives and making food from scratch probably does not sit high on their
1 pound (454g) ground chuck 1 pound (454g) lean ground pork 2 large eggs 1/2 cup fine bread crumbs 1/4 cup minced onion 2 tbsp finely crushed or minced garlic 1 tbsp dried herbs and/or spices (see column for examples) 2 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a baking sheet with baking spray and set aside (or alternatively line a baking sheet with parchment paper). In a large bowl, combine the chuck, pork, eggs, bread crumbs, onion, garlic, herbs/spices, salt and the pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined into a homogenous mixture. Roll bits of the mixture into small meatballs approximately threequarter inch in size and place them on the prepared baking sheet. You should have approximately 45 to 50 meatballs. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until their internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the cooked meatballs on paper towel temporarily to remove some of the fat. Add to your desired recipe application.
CHEF DEZ On Cooking priority lists. However, there is probably a percentage of the population that perhaps, just doesn’t know how to make good meatballs from scratch. So for the culinary adventurous, and the culinary curious, I give you my “base” recipe for meatballs that can be flavoured to suit any cuisine application. Review the recipe ingredients to the left and you will see that I list “one tablespoon of dried herbs
and/or spices.” This can be any dry herb, or any dry ground spice (or a combination of both) that will suit your application. For example, if you wanted to create an Asian cuisine type meatball I would suggest using 1 tbsp of Chinese 5-spice powder; if you wanted an Italian cuisine type meatball I would suggest using 1 tbsp of dried basil; or if an Indian cuisine type meat ball was preferred I would suggest using 1 tbsp of ground garam masala or curry powder (or a combination of both). Can you see where I am going with this? It’s quite simple really. Use your spice rack as myriad of flavour profile combinations; experiment and have fun.
Ground chuck, by the way, is beef but much better in flavour than the standard ground beef you buy at a grocery store. Ground chuck can be purchased from your local butcher shop and has a stronger, better beef flavour to make the best meatball possible in combination with the ground pork. Now grab life by the meatballs and don’t ever assume that you have to be taken prisoner by frozen convenience foods. ◗ Chef Dez is a food columnist, culinary instructor and cookbook author.

roperty owners in the Columbia Valley, Greendale, Rosedale, Ryder Lake, and Yarrow are invited to an Agri-Watch information session on May 5. Agri-Watch is a community-based program that involves neighbours watching out for neighbours in the rural areas. The goal is to make outlying communities safer from crime by raising the level of awareness to unusual or suspicious activity in their neighbourhood and reporting these observations to police. “Agri-Watch is a recognized partner of the RCMP and has aided with police investigations in the Greendale area”, says Const. Jamie Rae of the RCMP’s local Crime Prevention Unit.

Hiring tips and scams to avoid
S
pringtime is upon us and that may mean some TLC for your home. With home repairs and improvements on the rise this time of year, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) is warning homeowners who are looking to begin remodeling or repair projects to be on the lookout for home improvement scams. “A big chunk of business inquiries we get deal with contractors, roofers, painters and landscapers,” says Evan Kelly, senior communications advisor for BBB serving Mainland B.C. “Anything with home improvement, especially the exterior can be the tool of scammers. Crooks can see the outside of a home and convince the homeowner it needs work.” BBB advises homeowners to be wary of contractors who promise work at discounted prices or show up at your door claiming they’re doing work in your neighbourhood. Before hiring a home improvement business, BBB recommends
the following tips: ◗ Check Out a Business. Be sure to check out any business before hiring at bbb.org. Here you can view BBB Business Reviews, read complaints and customer reviews, and find out more information. ◗ Get Multiple Estimates. Before accepting an estimate, get at least three bids or quotes in writing. Don’t feel pressured to go with the lowest bid, as it might reflect the quality of materials. ◗ Ask for References. Ask for at least two or three references from the business’s last few jobs and ask questions about the quality of work, if it was within budget and on time, and to the customer’s satisfaction. ◗ Check Out Licences. Be sure to check if the business is properly licensed in your province, if applicable. It’s also important that any business you hire is properly insured if working on your home. ◗ Get Everything in Writing. Do not sign a contract until you have read through it entirely. If you
Our rewards 45956 Yale Rd., Chilliwack • 604.795.3454
made verbal agreements, they should be included in the written contract. Any deposit or payment plans should be included, as well as, any warranties or guarantees.
Be wary of: ◗ Be suspicious of a contract who approaches you with an offer of a cut rate because he has extra material from a previous job. ◗ Be wary of lines like “I’m a factory rep and can offer a good deal . . . .” ◗ Be wary of contractors approaching you claiming they can see your roof needs work, get a second opinion. ◗ Always in business it is best practice for you to instigate the market transaction. “Before hiring a contractor on the spot, be sure to do your research and check out a business at bbb.org,” adds Kelly. “There are many local contractors with a good track record that will deliver quality work on time and within budget. You can even request a quote through our website.”

Safety tips P when using power tools
ower tools can dramatically reduce the time it takes to complete home improvement projects. Professional contractors regularly rely on power tools for cutting and sanding, and many do-it-yourself renovators follow suit and invest in power tools to help get the job
done. But power tools, in spite of their usefulness, are not without risk. According to the Work Safe Center, power tool injuries account for as many as 400,000 emergency room visits in the United States each year. Power nailers, chain saws and table saws account for the greatest number of
injuries. Keeping safe is of the utmost priority when using power tools. Here’s how: ◗ Read all manufacturers’ instructions and guidelines before use. ◗ Keep your tools clean and in proper operating condition. ◗ Use the right tool for the job. ◗ Wear eye protection, such as
safety glasses or goggles. ◗ Wear standard cotton or leather work gloves to protect hands. ◗ Consider the use of earplugs or earmuffs with loud power tools. ◗ Don’t use power tools in proximity to flammable vapors, dust or construction
materials. ◗ Always check that wires are kept away from blades. ◗ Maintain a tight grip on a tool. ◗ Do not overreach when using tools, and maintain balance. ◗ Keep tools stored in secure locations when not in use.

Q: I started from seed indoor vegetables which I’ll be planting in containers that are still full with last year’s soil. Should I change the soil completely? Olga Toliusis Port Coquitlam A: Since it’s just the second year you’ll have veggies in the same containers, I think you can get away with removing the top three or four inches of soil. Then you could add compost into the older soil below, mixing it in well and top that with all-fresh soil. It’s very important that you don’t plant the same vegetables in the same pot again. Peas and beans nourish the soil by fixing nitrogen and the cabbage family loves soil where the previous veggies donated some nitrogen. Where the cabbages were, root veggies will be happy. Pests that overwinter in soil start families much faster if the same plants they fed on last year are waiting for them when they emerge again. So crop rotation is really important. Every two or three years it’s best to completely replace soil in the containers. Your compost will welcome the old soil and recycle it naturally. Ultimately the finished compost can be donated back to your veggie pots. Q: How do I apply pigeon poop
ANNE MARRISON Green Thumb to vegetable gardens? It is from my neighbour’s dometic-raised birds. Is it safe to use? Lily Lau Vancouver It would be safer than poop from wild birds. Wild pigeon droppings can harbour diseases and should never, ever be used on vegetables. But I have had no personal experience with pigeon droppings myself. Do you know anyone who has used poop from this particular flock of pigeons and had no problem? Perhaps your pigeon-tending neighbour knows people who garden with it and can talk to you about it. If not, you might punch into the website of the Vancouver Poultry and Fancy Pigeon Association: www.vancouverfancypigeon.ca/vp fpa profile.htm” www.vancouverfancypigeon.ca/vp fpa profile.htm This includes links to telephone numbers of the executive members. A good question to ask them would be if any of their members are also gardeners and use pigeon poop on their gardens—and if so what their
experience has been. My own feeling is that even with domestic pigeons the poop is likely to be very strong (like chicken droppings are) and would be likely to burn the vegetable roots unless it’s composted for a year before using. Q: Last year all my red currant fruit had worms from the currant fruit fly. Can you suggest an environmentally acceptable spray or dust I can use after blossom fall? Anne Maki Vancouver A: The safest organic way of dealing with this fly is to pick up and discard all fallen fruit into green waste (not in your compost). Worm-infested fruit tends to fall early. It’s easier to pick up if you lay plastic sheets under the bush just before the fruit begins falling. The fruit fly chrysalis overwinters in soil or grass debris under the bush. If your bushes are surrounded by soil, its best to remove the top two inches of soil or plant debris under the bush then replace with more soil or possibly bark mulch. If you repeat this each year, the number of fruit flies will gradually diminish. ◗ Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions. Send them to her via amarrison@shaw.ca It helps me if you can tell me the name of your city or region.

Reputation, personality make coach a player favourite of person Chris is and that’s really appealing,” Pauls said. His former coach notes that golf is unique in that it’s usually an individual sport but at the university level the main prize is won collectively.
“My role is to take that technical aspect that they’ve learned over the years and turn them into players, in particular, team players,” he said. And he added he couldn’t do it without support from the Chilliwack and Fraser Valley communities,
local courses and the “hotbed of talent” in the area. The money his program receives from community sponsors allows trips to tournaments like Bandon Dunes that are outside their regular operating budget.
Those experiences show the student athletes how they stack up against American talent and helps push their games further. When coach Bertram takes Team Canada to the Summer Universiade in South Korea this July he will show how his coaching and the country’s best university golfers stack up against the world.

Slow Leaves Submitted photo
In the name of the “Great Comic Tradition,” The Fox on the Fairway employs rule #7 to great effect. and final phase is the phase of the discovery of identity. The identity may be social, the new group to which most of the characters are attached, or individual, the enlightenment that changes the mind or purpose of one character; or, as usually happens in Shakespeare, both. 12. Finally, the complexity of the piece ultimately leaves us with a sense of exhilaration. We feel not simply that we’ve had a good time, but
also that we have witnessed a piece of life that leaves us with a feeling of renewal and hope. We have partaken of not just entertainment, but of that indefinable something we call “art.” When these 12 elements are combined in a single work for the theatre, they create an experience that tells us something profound about ourselves while, at the same time, leaving us with a feeling of being transformed.
Slow Leaves is Winnipeg’s Grant Davidson, and he takes to the road in support of his latest single/video “Rearview” from his new album Beauty is so Common, recorded and produced by Rusty Matyas (Imaginary Cities). Slow Leaves plays Tractorgrease Cafe April 25. Learn more at ymlp.com/ ztBkmA.

Ari Neufeld is a musician who describes himself as follows: I make rhythm with my feet . . . scoops and stomps on a little wooden box I found in my grandfathers tool shed. I make melodies with my tongue and teeth and lips. I play the guitar. And piano. And banjo. And ukelele. And telecaster. And I live to sing. Catch this versatile performer Friday, April 24 at 7 p.m. at the Acoustic Emporium. Neufeld lives in the hills of the Okanagan “except when I’m living in Austin, Tx.” He says he’s a “work in progress,” who is getting acclaim from the strangest places. He describes his show as a cross between highly ambitious flailing live one-man action, folk rock, contemplative swooning, drunken craziness and dark lullabies, with a heavy seasoning of humour throughout. Tickets are $10 at the door.

Met brings heavyweight talent to season finale
i s n e y m ov i e a n d music fans are in for a treat. The Chilliwack Metropolitan Orchestra will perform a selection of the world’s most recognizable and inspiring music, all drawn from Disney’s two animated anthology films Fantasia and Fantasia 2000 May 23 at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. This superlative program will include the exciting opportunity for the orchestra to perform with one of the leading keyboard artists of our time, Dr. Sara Davis Buechner. Buechner received both her bachelors and masters degrees from the Julliard School of Music and her doctorate from the Manhattan School of Music. She has been a gold medal winner at many of the world’s great piano competitions and a bronze medal winner at the Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition, a major event in the inter-
national music world. Part of her personal mandate is to perform in small music centres and she has graciously agreed to perform Gershwin’s jazz concerto, Rhapsody in Blue, with the Chilliwack Met. The evening’s musical program is entirely drawn from the two Fantasias. The first movie was released in 1940 and consists of animated segments set to classical music. Some of the program’s included works are Mussgorsky’s fearsome Night on Bald Mountain, Debussy’s lyrical Claire de Lune, Stravinsky’s Finale to the Firebird Suite, first movements from Beethoven’s 5th and 6th Symphonies and the powerful Bach Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. The orchestra will host guest musicians from Abbotsford’s Fraser Valley Symphony and this will be a first- time collaboration. An anthology film is a feature film consisting
of several different short films tied together by a single theme, in this case the music. Fantasia consists of eight short segments set to classical music conducted by Leopold Stokowski, played by the Philadelphia Orchestra and was designed to be a comeback movie for Mickey Mouse whose popularity had been declining. Fantasia is the 22nd highest earning movie of all time and is considered to be the 58th greatest American film. In 1999, the sequel Fantasia 2000 was released and is the 38th film in Walt Disney’s Animated Classics series. The music was not the only notable aspect of the two films. The masterful animation was part of what made these timeless classics. The Ave Maria sequence was at 145 seconds the longest uninterrupted animation of its type in movie history. It has been beautifully restored by German ani-
mator Klaus Werner. Elmar Goldsmith, board president of the Cascadia Wind Ensemble and husband of principal French horn Shannon Goldsmith, volunteered to assist the orchestra by matching animation stills and film segments from the movies to the music. ◗ Tickets are on sale now at the Chilliwack Cultural
Centre Box Office for May 23 concert at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for students. Submitted photo

FERGUSON Darlene Ruth It is with great sadness that we announce that Darlene Ferguson passed away peacefully in her sleep after a long battle with cancer Tuesday March 10, 2015 at the Cascade Hospice in Chilliwack, BC. Darlene is survived by her loving husband Norm, stepchildren Sheldon and Quin, her wonderful grandson Abe, her son Michael Radke and his wife Katie. There will be a celebration of life in July of 2015 In lieu of flowers donations to the Chilliwack Hospice would be greatly appreciated.
It is bittersweet to announce the death of our Mary, who passed peacefully at home to her Lord in the early hours of April 13, 2015. An indomitable Chilliwack girl she was the last of her family headed by Wendell and Melita McDonald and sister Joyce Hickman. Mary relocated to Vancouver when war broke out, training as a nurse at Vancouver General Hospital. It was a profession well-suited to a woman so down-to-earth and so kind. She married her beloved Charles in 1949 and spent the following decades satisfying her soul as a nurse in Public Health and as a doting mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She was an active church member, a dear friend to many, and is survived by her husband Chuck, children David, Dianne, Wendy (Geoffrey) and Janet (James), ten grandchildren and five greatgrandchildren. A Memorial service will be held at 1 PM, Friday April 24 at Forest Lawn Funeral Home at 3789 Royal Oak Avenue, Burnaby, BC.
