Western Toad and Red Legged Tree Frog, begin their journey out of the wetland in into the woods, crossing roads while doing so. This doesn’t always work out too well for the toads with many ending up run over by passing cars. “There’s nothing you can do about it,” explained FVC’s project co-ordinator Kendra Morgan. “The roads go around the wetland; they have to

cross the roads.” But the FVC has come up with a solution: a toad tunnel. A culvert was built under Elk View Road to provide the toads with a safe place to cross. Directional fencing was also installed to guide the toads towards the tunnel. “Very few of them go into the culvert willingly,” Morgan said. “They need to be enticed into it with fencing.”

The tunnel hasn’t been the FVC’s first attempt at saving the toads. Over the years, many different methods have been used, including road closures, detours and even moving the toads across the roads in buckets. While all of these methods helped in keeping the toads safe, none of them were good long term solutions, especially the bucket brigades. “People were picking them up and they’re very small and unfortunately, easily hurt,” Morgan said. “Also, putting them in the buckets and walking { See TUNNEL, page A6 }

Five candidates seeking our federal votes CHBC.15JJ.MEN9.BW.EL.indd

rime Minister Stephen Harper visited Rideau Hall on Sunday to recommend the dissolution of Parliament thereby transforming himself into Conservative Party candidate, and leader, Stephen Harper. The longest election in Canadian history is on, although for those paying attention in Chilliwack, it’s been on for months. Five official candidates are in place for the new riding of Chilliwack-Hope, a significantly smaller electoral district than the previous Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon. Incumbent Mark Strahl seeks a second term in office in the new riding, and he faces challenges from university professor Seonaigh MacPherson for the NDP, and local business owner Louis De Jaeger for the Liberals. Also in the race is university student Thomas Cheney for the Green Party and musician Alexander Johnson for the Libertarian Party of Canada. And while Chilliwack-Hope is about as safe a Conservative riding as they

come in Canada, the candidates for the two main opposition parties think now is the time for change, and they’ve been working hard for months to challenge Strahl. In contrast, in recent days, Conservative volunteers have been out putting up large Strahl signs around town but his online presence has been non-existent. As of Wednesday morning, he had no election web presence, his candidate page on the Conservative Party site was blank, and his last social media comments on Facebook or Twitter were from July relating to recent government funding announcements. MacPherson and De Jaeger, on the other hand, have been pushing their candidacies for months and have only recently ramped up the rhetoric.

MacPherson is a relative unknown in the community but she’s been posting on her election Facebook page since April. She holds a PhD from UBC and is department head of adult education at the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV). She has also written a blog since last November focused on her campaign. De Jaeger is owner of Bravo Restaurant and Lounge downtown, and has been campaigning as Liberal candidate for months. In March, he focused on a leaked Conservative fundraising letter that said Vancouver Liberal MP Hedy Fry claimed the local demographics were changing and, as the letter signed by Strahl said, “She clearly believes that Chilliwack and Hope voters aren’t as ‘enlightened’ as Liberal

Black voters from Vancouver. ” Five months ago, De Jaeger said he had already knocked on 3,000 doors and was getting a good vibe from voters as the community evolves. And while his name recognition in the community is high, NDP party faithful are quick to point out the NDP finished second in 2011, 2008, 2006 and 2004. As for demographic changes, few question that it is happening in Chilliwack, a traditionally small and big “C” conservative area, but UFV political science professor Hamish Telford said Liberal optimism likely overstates how fast change happens. Telford said it’s unlikely the shift is happening fast enough to unseat the Conservatives anytime soon. “Not in this election and probably

not in the next election either,” he told the Times back in April. “I think this is a process that will unfold over decades rather than months.” Almost daily, federal polls come out, the most recent of which put the NDP out in front, but few focus on specific ridings or even regions. Poll analyst Éric Grenier, however, who runs threehundredeight.com uses a formula to analyze various polls and has created projections for all 338 federal ridings. As far as accuracy is concerned, Grenier’s 2011 overall projection was close to what actually happened, as he predicted 166 Conservative seats (actual: 161), 103 NDP (actual: 106), and 34 Liberal (actual: 37).

Change favours Strahl Final decision kept city intact BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

hile the federal riding of Chilliwack-Hope will sound new to many voters, it was actually created two years ago when the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for B.C. adjusted borders to allow for six new federal seats in the province. And the change could favour Conservative incumbent Mark Strahl as the new electoral district takes out areas north of Hope that have been more likely to vote for parties other than the Conservatives. An Elections Canada project offers a glimpse into how the votes received in the 2011 election transpose onto the current ridings. Strahl won Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon four years ago with a decisive 57 per cent of the votes ahead of the NDP’s Gwen O’Mahony’s 26 per cent, those same votes today would mean Strahl would take 59.6 per cent of votes in Chilliwack-Hope, with the NDP at 23.5 per cent. When the new boundaries were a n n o u n c e d , St ra h l i m m e d i at e l y

announced he would seek re-election in the new riding. “Chilliwack-Hope is entirely contained within my current riding of Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon,” Strahl said in August 2013. “I was born and raised in Chilliwack, and my roots in both Chilliwack and Hope are very deep. I’m looking forward to running here in the next election.” A draft of the report had considered boundary adjustments that would have split the city in half. The adjustment would have, for example, grouped Promontory residents in a riding with folks in 100 Mile House, and people in Vedder Crossing in an Abbotsford riding. The final decision kept the city intact, and Chilliwack-Hope (with the same name as the provincial riding represented by Laurie Throness) includes the eastern Fraser Valley south of the Fraser River from Chilliwack to Hope and a little beyond, the Chilliwack River Valley, Cultus Lake and the Columbia Valley. Other communities moved out of Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon include Kent, Harrison Hot Springs, Yale, Boston Bar, Lytton, Lillooet, Cache Creek and Ashcroft, which are now in the new riding of Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon, while Pemberton moves to West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country riding.

James gets 18 mths in prison for threatening BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

Chilliwack man who threatened his ex-girlfriend on two separate occasions, one of which where a gun was fired, will spend the next 18 months in jail. But Troy James’s sentence last Friday in provincial court in Chilliwack is not even the most serious charge he faces. Whether or not he was sentenced for this case, James would still have been in custody and back in court Aug. 5 facing numerous serious charges alongside Jonathon David Olson. Those charges are in connection with an Oct. 4, 2014 incident that

He still has to face more serious charges involving a botched home invasion, a car jacking and a police chase

allegedly involved a home invasion at a mistaken address in Chilliwack, followed by a car jacking and a police chase. The sentence on July 24 stemmed from 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 testified that she and James had dated for a little over a year ending in March 2014. 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 Chilliwack. When someone knocked on the front door, Archie answered and

met a blonde woman who asked if her new boyfriend, Keith Cailing, was home. 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. Judge Gregory Brown found James guilty on both counts on April 16.

Last week at sentencing, Brown called the second incident of uttering threats “as serious as they get.” Crown counsel sought six months in custody for the first count and 18 months for the second, following two years probation. Defence counsel Gurpreet Gill asked for 30 days and 60 days for the two counts, followed by one year of probation. Brown gave two months for the first count and 16 months for the second count where a firearm was used. He declined to a Crown request to ban James from the Shx:whay and Skowkale reserves because family members of the father of three children by three different women live on reserve.

› News { ELECTION, from page A3 } (Still, Grenier does note: “These riding projections are not polls and are not necessarily an accurate reflection of current voting intentions in each riding.”) In Chilliwack-Hope, his calculations suggest the Conservatives will get 41.8 per cent of the vote, the NDP 31.2 per cent, the Liberals 20.7 per cent, the Greens 5.5 per cent and “other” 0.9 per cent. Those numbers are averages, but even his ceiling prediction at 45.9 per cent in Chilliwack-Hope for Conservatives, which would handily win the election for Strahl, would be a significant decline in vote getting over 2011, where he won with 57 per cent.

Pollster picks NDP Overall, Grenier’s numbers in B.C. predict the NDP will win 24 seats, the Conservatives nine, the Liberals eight and the Greens one. Locally, at least one non-partisan group has formed to encourage voter engagement and to arrange meetings and online discussion. Chilliwack Votes has a website set to launch in the next couple of weeks.

It’s a system that is effective and raises awareness, but it’s not a long-term solution.” And although the road closures and detours worked well, they didn’t make a good long-term solution either. “It really depended on how much funding we had each year,” FVC executive director Joanne Neilson added. “Some years we had funding to do road closures, but even traffic control is very expensive.” That lead to the conservatory researching permanent options. “We wanted to have a system in place that can be used regardless of whether we have funding,” Neilson said. Because the toads using the tunnel are an endangered species,

FVC will host Toad Fest on Aug. 8 Environment Canada funded a portion of the tunnel as part of their habitat stewardship program. Other donors included the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation, Vancity Community Grants and the project’s principle donor, Lafarge. The nice thing about the tunnel is that it’s not going anywhere. Despite the amount of funding received in future years, and other than the directional fencing which will likely need to be put up yearly by volunteers, the tunnel will always be there for the toads to use. The toad tunnel was planned to be installed before the toads started their journey, but an early migration prevented that from happening, and although the tunnel opened during the migration process, positive results have already been noticed. “Obviously, it would have been

better if the fencing had been up before because then we wouldn’t have had any road kill in the area, but it was interesting to see the vast difference before the fencing and after the fencing,” Morgan said. While toad tunnels aren’t a common solution in other areas, Morgan hopes that the success of this one will encourage other communities to do the same. “I learned a lot from other projects that are happening in B.C. and they were very supportive of us,” she said. “I would hope that I could provide that information to other groups.” ◗ The FVC is hosting a Toad Fest on Aug. 8 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Ryder Lake Hall, 49265 Elk View Rd. as a thank you to the community for supporting the new toad tunnel.

{ TILLER, from page A1 } was disgruntled with her job. Jennifer Massey, who was Tiller’s supervisor, told the court the now 38-year-old’s work performance was not good. “We had some trouble with her not being at work, health issues but never anything was confirmed . . . mistakes and socializing and her appearance, how she presented herself,” Massey testified on July 21. On July 27, Barb Smith, who worked as the Chilliwack detachment’s financial clerk, testified that she found money from 19 RCMP files was never sent to the Receiver General for Canada as it should have been. Later that day, CUPE Local 548 president Bryan Bickley was called to testify about a grievance Tiller had filed with the union, but for pri-

‘And I’ll go further: I don’t like her’ vacy reasons he said he felt uncomfortable with questions the Crown asked. The jury was briefly excused and Justice Miriam Gropper ended the line of questioning. Last Thursday in court, Tiller’s defence counsel Gurpreet Gill tried to show reasonable doubt by suggesting someone else might have stolen the money from the exhibit lockers. Another exhibit custodian, Don Reimer, had access to all the files in question and may have been disgruntled in his job as he had twice been overlooked for a promotion. Reimer, who was the most experienced exhibit custodian in the department, applied for a supervisor position but the job instead was given to individuals with less experience. “How did that make you feel?” Gill

asked him. “I was disappointed to say the least,” Reimer responded. “I had put a lot of work in to that facility to get it straightened out.” Gill even pointed out that the combination to the safe in the exhibit room was Reimer’s birthday, and suggested that the reason he was not hired was because Massey, his boss, did not like him. “No,” Reimer responded. “And I’ll go further: I don’t like her.” Earlier on the stand, Massey testified the reason Reimer was not promoted was because of educational requirements that were not met. After the long weekend the trial resumed Monday with testimony from jail guard Lynn Hatcher who worked with Tiller at the detachment starting in 2007.

NOTICE OF PROPOSED LOCAL REVENUE LAWS AND

INVITATION TO MAKE REPRESENTATIONS NOTICE IS GIVEN, pursuant to section 6 of the First Nations Fiscal Management Act (hereafter referred to as the “FNFMA”), that Shxwha:y Village (“The First Nation”) proposes to enact the Shxwá:y Village Property Assessment Law, 2015 and the Shxwhá:y Village Property Taxation Law, 2015 (hereafter referred to as the “Proposed Laws”).

Foolish waste of federal funds

◗ Publisher

ast week’s news that the federal government is throwing another $12 million into the Canadian Safety and Security Program smacks of more pre-election engineering designed to reinforce the fear of terrorism. On the surface, the funding looks like another boost to law enforcement agencies to fight terrorism, something most people support. What grinds on our sensibility, however, is the large portion “aimed at countering radicalization among young Canadians.” That just doesn’t pass the sniff tests. It’s been proven ad nauseam that the more you try to reach young people already staggering down that path, the more it alienates them. The funding news might have gained credence if there was a suggestion of how the de-radicalizing would occur, but the information is so vague it could range from group hugs to frontal lobotomies. The vast majority of Canadians would prefer to see that kind of cash poured into programs that make a difference for the growing ranks of our disillusioned youth. Counselling for mental health issues and victims of sexual abuse; education, shelter, health care and food for homeless youth would be more welcome. The question is, where is all that money going? And, does anyone feel any safer?

Vote and complain, but vote

ime to wake up and pay attention. It may be summer, but a federal election has been called. If you’re reading this, then that “pay attention” admonishment is pointless to write, but if your friends and family are not reading and not paying attention then, please, go poke them. It can seem like ambivalence is at an all-time high when it comes to elections at all levels. (Federal elections are actually the best for voter turnout at around 60 per cent.) Why can’t we get people to pay attention to who, how, when, why and what governs us in Canada, one of the most revered nations on the planet? We all knew this day was coming ever since fixed election dates were established. When the new Chilliwack-Hope electoral district was drawn up two years ago, then Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl announced immediately he would seek re-election on Oct. 19, 2015. The only surprise, for some, was that Stephen Harper called for the writ to be dropped so early, a ploy to maximize the Conservative advantage, according to pundits. (Also slightly odd was that he called the federal election on a

PAUL J. HENDERSON @peejayaitch Sunday. A Conservative insider opined to me that it was a bad decision to call an election on a traditional day of rest given his heavily Christian base.) There’s a meme going around on Facebook that says 5.8 million people voted for the Conservatives in 2011, 4.5 million for the NDP, 2.8 million for the Liberals and 1.6 million for the various other parties. Who didn’t vote? Fully 9.3 million eligible voters, which, according to Elections Canada data is about right. “These people could change everything” goes the punchline. And it’s true, but maybe it doesn’t matter because that many people will not vote again. Not a rhetorical question, I don’t have the answer, but what is the way to engage the millions of eligble voters in Canada who just do not bother to cast a ballot? Part of the problem, I think, is two-

fold: cynicism and apathy. Non-voters (and some voters too) either don’t believe or trust politicians or the process. Or they don’t care. Ambivalence is worse than opposition or even anger. Just ask any teenager who feels overlooked by his or her peers. Deep down some would even rather be bullied than ignored, but ignoring is what many of us are doing when it comes to government. The source of the ambivalence could well be, paradoxically, what I would call the “Good enough” effect. For all of the frothing at the mouth from those on the left about right wing policies and from those on the right about left wing policies, in a place like Canada, things are pretty darned good. Even the most socialist of NDP governments in Canadian provinces over the years doesn’t compare to the extreme socialism enacted in various countries through history. And even the most right wing of conservative governments, similarly, doesn’t compare to what exists and has existed elsewhere. We are all a lot closer to one another than many of us would like to admit. It’s all pretty good. At least it’s good enough.

An election’s been called? “So what,” says the comfortable or the cynical. Having said all of that, we all do like to complain. Even your neighbours or family members who don’t vote probably gripe once in a while. And for all the cynicism about money and politics and rhetoric and intentions, these election candidates and their volunteers will work incredibly hard over these next few weeks to put up signs, knock on doors, hand out pamphlets and spread a message that they believe deeply in their hearts. This is hard work. Imagine, even being a Conservative in a relatively safe riding such as Chilliwack, to knock on doors wondering who’s on the other side and what they might say about you and your policies. Imagine, then, being from a less successful party how hard it is to face a critical public. But still, ambivalence is worse than criticism. To be ignored is worse than to be opposed, and we owe these people a hand of support. Or an admonishment or criticism or, at the very least, a spoiled ballot in outrage at the system. Vote and be happy. Or vote and gripe. Just vote.

Need to make country better for people, not politicians Editor: Why do we need a bigger government? It just means less for the people. Thirty new seats in parliament will cost millions for no benefit to the people. Longer campaigns cost more of our money, despite what you may hear from politicians. Democracy is now a joke, lies, deceit and corruption. Representation? For a political party but not the people. It’s time to ditch the political system and make our country a corporation, run by motivated people not self-serving politicians. Do we need to drop bombs in the desert or do we need to look after ourselves? Canada was once a proud country. Now it’s just a country with a sold out soul. Morally bankrupt. We used to stop wars not get involved in proxy wars between Saudi Arabia and Iran based on threat of terrorism. How many Canadians have died by terrorism? About the same as are killed each day as a result of bad driving I bet. If absolutely no one voted does that mean we have no politicians? Take our savings and make this a better place for the people not the politician. Shawn Hoornaert Chilliwack

It was Trudeau that put us into deep debt

Editor: The decision by Prime Minister Stephen Harper to place a moratorium on the appointment of senators is nothing more than a cheap political ploy to divert the attention of the electorate from the scandal-ridden upper house as we approach the upcoming fall election. It is a ploy that will only backfire as, since his promise in 2006, he has appointed 59 senators, has endured a “neutralizing” ruling by the Supreme Court, “ignored” one cheque for $90,000 that he probably knew about and has seen 31 charges levied against one Conservative-appointed senator who was one of his party’s outstanding fundraisers. In a parliamentary monarchy, such as we have here in Canada,

Editor: You talk about “revisionist history” (“Vote for the guy with the nice hair” – letters, July 30, Times) and how the Liberals balanced the budget. You leave out that it was the Nice Hair guy’s daddy, Pierre Elliott Trudeau and the Liberals, who brought us deficits in the first place. When Pierre Trudeau took office, Canada’s federal debt was about $20 billion. When he quit in 1984, it was $206 billion. With an average prime interest rate of 10.5 per cent this compounded the Trudeau debt to $400 billion, in today’s dollars. With the compound interest Trudeau

You also leave out that Paul Martin’s austerity budget had huge cutbacks to healthcare, our military, the RCMP and individuals, including seniors. And you seem to forget that we had a recession in 2008, and that the Harper government actually paid down our debt by $37 billion before the recession. And that Canada is now the economic envy of the world under this government. And I personally like paying two per cent less GST. Alan Ewert Chilliwack

Our system of gov’t is grossly outdated

our bicameral legislature is based on the English system of one house that would represent the “aristocracy” with the other representing the “commoners.” In Canada’s development of its parliamentary monarchy, we have copied the English governance structure but with the upper house members being appointed by the governing party as a result of services to the governing party after it attained power or while it was in opposition. It has been thought of as the body giving “sober second thought,” which, of course, has its own implication of the sobriety of the lower house members, Sir John A. Macdonald in particular. This concept is grossly out-of-date as we should not have a system of governance that is based on having a figurehead whose ancestral roots were based on the dominance of an individual and his or her family premised on leadership that was attained by either physical force or coercion with aristocrats kowtowing in one way shape or form to the monarch of the day in order to further their own wealth and/or power. The American bicameral congress is premised on representing the electorate in the upper house based on equality of intra-national areas of governance (states), regardless of the size or population of any one state . . . something that has not been endorsed here in Canada as can be readily seen by the population of provinces and their number of senators. Ours is a system that reflects the acquiescence of our ancestral politicians to the electorate of Lower Canada, a term which does not reflect the geographical position of the two early provinces to each other but of the pseudo-aristocratic attitude of the Anglo-Canadians of the mid-nineteenth century of Upper Canada towards the Franco-Canadians. We need to do away with the current premise of bicameralism and adopt the American republic style, which should also include doing

away with the monarchy which is nothing more than a hangover from a hierarchical society of yesteryear and that is something that Canada purports not to be touting its cultural mosaic. I hope that people have not forgotten, amid the constant repetition of Conservative Party-paid ads against Justin Trudeau, that his election campaign advisers have pulled their TV ad which shows Mr. Harper leaving his Langevin office and turning out the lights. That action is very ironic as we will find out after the election. G.E. MacDonell Abbotsford

Nestlé protest could work against us all Editor: What’s the problem with Nestlé not paying for water? How about beer, wine, soda, a cup of coffee or tea? There’s no difference, they all profit from selling water only Nestlé doesn’t add anything to it. As others have said: charging for water makes it a commodity which, under NAFTA, could then be shipped by Nestlé to the U.S. and Mexico. Who really began this protest against but really for Nestlé? Nestlé wants to buy and sell our water, but once a price is established and they pay more, we may eventually pay more too, bottled or not. Gary Huntbatch Abbotsford

parts by Planned Parenthood. If our space exploration scientists were to find only one living cell on a distant planet they excitedly would exclaim to have found life. On the other hand, a most complex human body, still in the womb, is not worth protecting and merely viewed as a matter of someone’s choice, or as a means for political gains. Anyone who has ever seen a premature newborn in an incubator, and at the developmental stage when many babies are aborted, must wonder how a medical doctor, who swore an oath to protect life, can brutally tear one of these little ones from a mother’s womb. Life is full of choices, which have consequences. As a strong believer in a Creator, and obviously lacking the faith to believe that there was Nothing and then Nothing for no reason exploded, etc., I wonder when God is going to deal with our blatant disregard for His commandments and values as recorded in ancient Scriptures. Aside from having killed millions of unborn humans (potential Nobel Prize winners), another Scripture, holding a clear warning, is directed at anyone who would come against the Nation of Israel, the only democracy and true friend we have in the Middle East. While pre-election competition and voter-luring schemes (i.e. childcare cheques) slowly begin to dominate our news, my hope is that all parties understand the importance of supporting the tiny nation of Israel as the Scriptures not only carry a warning but also a blessing from God for those who support her.

› Faith Today

Jesus walked on the water of faith BY JOHN SOVEREIGN St. Thomas Anglican

“As Jesus went ashore he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.” Mark 6-34

am thankful that Pope Francis is following in the steps of Jesus. When the crowds gathered to hear Jesus, they did not come merely to see him heal their sick. They came because Jesus cut across the right and left wing religious thinking encountered in their priests, scribes, pharisees and religious leaders. Jesus spoke in simple ways of God’s personal love for them, and for all creation. Jesus was never judgmental and treated all those he encountered, including his enemies and even Judas Iscariot, with respect. People came to hear because Jesus was worth listening to, and his words were both truthful and radical. These are the steps of Jesus which Francis is following to speak truth into the midst of a deceptive world order that is hun-

gry for the golden calf. Pope Francis is returning the church today to its true calling. He is not clinging tightly to some imagined past paradigm where everyone went to church and few challenged its authority. Francis is speaking an authentic and contemporary faith willing to challenge secular powers and principalities and do so with courage. That is not what happened in Canada, years ago, when many Christians were convinced by their government and church leaders that the best way to deal with the “Indian problem” (as it was called in the day) was to build religious residential schools to deprive aboriginal children of family, language, culture and spirituality. Many Christians were convinced that this was a good idea, to help assimilate our First Nations peoples into a “white” world, speaking white language, knowing white ways, and worshipping their Creator in a white kind of way. Such cloning was truly destined to fail. If our churches had followed in

Jesus’s footsteps, we would have respected our First Nations for who they were, not who they were not, and we would have left their children with their parents, to live their own way, to assimilate (or not) European languages on their own terms, and to gain (or not) a European education on their own terms. We inflicted a very deep trauma on them, one that will last for generations. Yet to this day most of us have trouble believing our own apologies. Perhaps it is this kind of failure that has led to the decline of Christianity in North America. We don’t speak with the conviction of truth telling, or the persuasive power of love and respect. Too many Christians are into cloning and a “genetically modified faith.” Too many of us still proof text to a generation that will not listen to proof texts, they want words of love and truth that love them back with respect. We find in the New Testament, and in those first few centuries of Christianity before Constantine, a constant struggle with religious issues. In the Gospels, both John the Baptist and Jesus himself

strove against entrenched Jewish thinking, such as that of the Pharisees. Mark my words, there would be no Pharisees in the Bible, and Jesus would not have solemnly warned us against their thinking if there were no likelihood of them surviving the wars with Rome. To speak meaningful truth, we must beware the leaven of the Pharisees. Jesus changed the role of women in his world by treating them as his contemporaries, even with respect to match his respect for Jairus who was a synagogue ruler. Jesus argued with the Pharisees over the value of a widow’s mite. He challenged their judgement of a woman caught in adultery. He refused to be either a political leader, or a religious elite, and he spoke always by the Spirit of God. Jesus walked on the water of faith, not on the pebbles of legalism. By sidestepping Pharisaic rules of order and doctrine, and avoiding political power and opinion, Jesus paved the way for his people to live for him, and speak his words into a world

Need for human milk donations

The truth is important

ick babies benefit greatly from human milk donations but supply in Chilliwack is down right now. Last year Chilliwack moms donated 116,695 millilitres (ml) but so far in 2015, more than halfway through the year, the volume of milk received is less than half of that. Fraser Health said it is seeing “dramatic drops” in donations in some communities in the eastern Fraser Valley, and the donations are important for premature babies in Fraser Health Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs).

that matter, feed the poor, love the unlovable, show mercy, respect creation, love God, get along and work together. There is, really, only one church. And it is not just Anglican or Roman Catholic or Baptist or United or Pentecostal. It is all the people in whom our Creator speaks, those who have been taught by God. ◗ John Sovereign is a reverend with St. Thomas Anglican.

Rookie gardener seeking wisdom

told him we were lacking acid. How? The yellowy colour of some plants’ leaves. Kouwenhoven could write a book on how to improve soil to maximize growing conditions and plant health, and he indeed has many handouts for learners such as me, but skimming over many subjects in a short period of time, he had one important tip. “If you apply nothing else to your garden except epsom salts you’ll be fine,” he said.

PAUL J. HENDERSON @peejayaitch

Battles Not knowing what was in our soil this spring since we inherited the garden as is, it’s hard to know why everything grew so well for us. But we did have a couple of minor issues, one of which was aphids on one of our cabbages. Kouwenhoven’s solution? Make a tea out of the leaves from a rhubarb plant and (don’t drink it, rhubarb leaves are mildly poisonous) spray it on the aphids. We also have two espalier fruit trees and on a few leaves of the pear tree was pear trellis rust something he said would spread if the leaves weren’t removed. A few of our beet leaves had leaf miner, which he said isn’t a big deal other than making the leaves ugly. If you see the worm, pinch it and remove the leaf. Crop rotation is important to help control this problem.

hy did my snap peas die? What are those tiny things on my cabbage? Why did my broccoli do

so well? For a rookie gardener, getting his hands dirty with soil and seeds and seedlings for the first time ever, there are so many questions about what worked, what didn’t, why and what to do next. I figure that any question I’ve got, others may too. And I decided the best way to find answers to some of my questions about my first vegetable gardening experience was to find an expert. So what does a rookie gardener do to find answers?Invite seasoned gardener Jack Kouwenhoven to my backyard, of course. The retired Kouwenhoven grows dozens of different fruits and vegetables in his downtown Chilliwack garden—which, for more than two decades, have earned him multiple ribbons at the Chilliwack Fair—and he frequently gives talks on gardening subjects to Food Matters Chilliwack. Water, water, water At first glance at our three raised garden beds, Kouwenhoven tells me we haven’t watered enough, likely a common problem given the conditions this summer. His advice? Put a layer of mulch on top of the soil to help retain moisture. Tomatoes, which we have in a small greenhouse, for example, need water twice a day. Harvesting Given the limited space we have, it’s clear I got a little greedy and planted things too close together. I planted green beans from seed, but everything else using seedlings: onions, cabbages, beets, lettuce, broccoli, snap peas and snow peas.

Paul J. Henderson/TIMES

Jack Kouwenhoven talks strawberries and soil health on a recent backyard garden tour. Everything except the snap peas grew really well and provided tons of produce, but because the plants were too close together, some were a little smaller than they could have been. My cabbage, for example, turned out great but were only about two thirds the size of regular. If you don’t mind things small, you can plant close together but you reap what you sow. My green beans produced huge amounts and this was helped along, as Kouwenhoven explained, by the fact that we picked them daily. The more you pick the more the plant produces. One of our three raised beds is dedicated to strawberries for which Kouwenhoven had lots to say. They

produced well in May and in June stopped, but the plants are thriving and creating lots of runners. At his advice, we put a long window box full of soil next to the bed in which runners are forming into new plants, which is important because—and we didn’t know this—after three years the plants need to be discarded. This is, of course, a delicate balance. “If you want to produce lots of strawberries then you have to cut the runners off but if you want new plants than you have to let them grow.” Healthy soil Soil health is Kouwenhoven’s specialty and one glance at our plants

Other tips: We have a small greenhouse in our yard in which we put three tomato plants in large pots. They produced and continue to produce relatively well, but even with frequent watering it has been a challenge to keep the plant looking as green as it should. It’s just too hot. “If it’s 30 degrees outside it’s 40 in there,” he said. So while the greenhouse seemed like a great place for tomatoes, Kouwenhoven said not in the summer. What it’s most useful for is a season extender. ◗ If anyone has any questions about these topics or anything else gardening related you can ask Jack through the Food Matters Chilliwack Facebook page or their website. To see answers to a number of questions check out the Ask Jack page at foodmatterschilliwack.com/category/ ask-jack.

Paul J. Henderson/TIMES

Jack says strawberry plants only last three years before the need to be replaced, but transplanting runners works.

Paul J. Henderson/TIMES

A greenhouse seemed like a good place for tomatoes but this year it’s just too hot.

Paul J. Henderson/TIMES

Pear trees can be susceptible to pear trellis rust and those leaves should be removed.

Paul J. Henderson/TIMES

Few things are more rewarding for a rookie gardener than pulling fresh produce out of the backyard.

No home field advantage against Okanagan Sun

hilliwack’s Valley Huskers fell into an even deeper slump on Saturday, with a 64-0 loss to the Okanagan Sun. The game was the Husker’s 14th straight loss to the Sun on home turf since 1999.

The Huskers finished with a total of five yards rushing and 82 yards passing, compared to the Sun’s totals of 225 and 286, respectively. The Sun softened the Huskers defence in the first half, smashing their way to 160 yards on the ground. The

high-flying Okanagan squad then took to the air in the second half amassing 202 yards. Huskers quarterback Noah Falconer completed 11 of 20 pass attempts for 50 yards, while Brenden Briden completed four of six attempts for 32 yards.

The loss keeps the Valley Huskers in last place in league standings while the win put the Sun into a tie for first overall with the Vancouver Island Raiders. ◗ The Huskers play the Langley Rams this Saturday at 7 p.m. at McLeod Stadium in Langley. 7079002

Using borrowed materials from various locations including the Atchelitz Threshermen’s Museum, Oberholtzer has put together the Chilliwack Fair’s first art installation.

Art piece first of its kind at Fair

‘Apocalypse Car’ will be turning heads this weekend

BY VANESSA BROADBENT Chilliwack Times

he apocalypse may be coming a little sooner than we’ve anticipated—in fact, it’ll be at the Chilliwack Fair this weekend. Kelly Oberholtzer, a fine arts student at the University of the Fraser Valley, has been working on an art display for the upcoming fair. She’s calling it Apocalypse Car. Oberholtzer’s piece is installation art, a modern art form in which a three-dimensional display is created. By collecting pieces from various places including the Atchelitz Threshermen’s Museum, Kelly has turned an old vintage car into something that you might find on a dystopian movie set. “Installation art is really about what you use to create it,” she explained. “You come up with a big idea and then you’re like ‘what do I have that I can make this out of? What can I actually use?’ And then as you’re developing that concept and you’re finding all those things that you’re going to use to build whatever you’re making, the concept totally changes.” And throughout her time working on the display, her concept has changed. “I was going to try and make that car into a fish, and then as I started making it, I [thought]

“It’s really cool that they’re doing it in Chilliwack,” she said. “We haven’t had any contemporary art in Chilliwack that’s that approachable and that people can go and look at, especially at the Fair.” Most people’s preconceived notion of art does not include modern forms like installation art. Oberholtzer understands that, and hopes that the least her display could do is “kind of change people’s minds a bit, alter their perspective.” “More than anything, I’m hoping it will be something different,” she said. And with the chainsaws and cannons she’s attached, it definitely will be. ◗ The Apocalypse Car will be on display at the Fair on Aug. 7 to 8 from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Aug. 9 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Heritage Park.

AUGUST SPECIAL

he Last Five Years may be a romantic comedy, but it’s quite different from Secondary Characters’ recent production of Oklahoma!, or any play they’ve ever done for that matter. There still may be singing and romance, but this time it’s not all about the happily ever after—in fact, there might not even be one. The play follows the five-year relationship and marriage of Cathy and Jamie, from the first time they meet to their breakup. But this play doesn’t follow a traditional timeline. Jamie tells his side of the story from the beginning of their relationship and moves forward, while

Hi and thanks for reading this post. I thought I would try a different venue to search and find a great woman. I believe if I use a unique approach like the non-traditional newspaper I could possibly find that special girl and hopefully a longterm partner. In this post I will tell you a bit about me and what I am looking for. I am a single man, caucasian, attractive told by women, I am in good shape and I have a high standard of hygiene. My personal attributes include being loyal, compassionate, mature and respectful. I enjoy the basics in life and I am employed, have a home, vehicle and other basic amenities. In terms of family and other personal matters, I would prefer to discuss that on a one to one basis. I like to think of myself as a good man who does not judge people for who they are. I am searching for a woman who has similar personal traits and a girl who is ready to fall in love again if the two have the chemistry to take it that far. Again, I am not looking for perfect because that doesn’t exist but if two people have similar deep interests that is certainly a good beginning. In closing, I want to thank you for reading my post and if this catches your interest I would like to hear from you. If you do respond please know I will respect your information and confidentiality to the fullest. You can send your response by email to iwouldliketofindher@gmail.com or by regular mail c/o Chilliwack Times 45951 Trethewey Ave Box 833054 Thank you & I look forward to hearing from you!
