You are not obliged to vote. Just remember the price paid by your parents and great-grandparents.’” Crey, who is 66, said there is even an element of what he calls the “aboriginal version of the hipster” who is too cool to vote; just above voting.

Conservative incumbent and candidate for Chilliwack-Hope Mark Strahl said the government promised to promote free trade and protect supply management “and we’ve kept that promise by doing both.” “This is a great day for Canadian farmers and the Canadian economy,” Strahl said in a press release issued Monday. The dairy industry itself, however, was less gushing about the outcome. “B.C. dairy farmers are not happy

“Governments are no longer representative of us as a people but are serving corporate interests.” - Larry Commodore Ernie Crey and Larry Commodore, both well-respected activists and leaders in their circles. For Commodore, who used to be involved in get-out-the-vote campaigns—he even received 1,511 votes when he ran for the Green Party provincially in the 2001 provincial election—the system is too broken to bother. “Governments are no long representative of us as a people but are

serving corporate interests,” Commodore says. “After listening to some of my progressive friends, finally I said what the f--k am I doing this for? I’m just enabling a corrupt, rotten system.” Crey finds that argument “forced,” and he has one over-arching reason why Indians (his term) should vote: Because aboriginal people were not allowed to vote in 1939, yet in numbers proportionately higher than the

To vote or not to vote. For many in the broader community, not voting in any election is a measure of apathy or indifference, perhaps ignorance of the issues, but for a small subset of the First Nations community, not voting is a political act in itself. So amid a broad-based movement across Canada among aboriginal leaders to increase voter turnout in the on- and off-reserve community, there are those who suggest democracy is broken.

UFV senior advisor on indigenous affairs Shirley Hardman hands the microphone to Chilliwack-Hope Green Party candidate at an all-candidates meeting held at the Sto:lo Nation Resources Centre building Monday evening.

Strahl’s absence focus of all-candidates BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

boriginal issues were front and centre in Chilliwack Monday as the Sto:lo Nation hosted a federal election all-candidates meeting. But the absence of incumbent Conservative Mark Strahl was again the focus of other candidates and many who asked questions of those who did attend. “We are lacking a relationship with the federal government,” Liberal candidate Louis De Jaeger said at the start of the meeting. “We are actually lacking even more of a relationship with the person who is supposed to be the connection to the federal government, and I think that sort of says everything that the chair here is empty.” The meeting was moderated by Shirley

MP’s no-shows becoming a distraction

Hardman, senior advisor on indigenous affairs at the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) and Dave Schaepe, director and senior archeologist at the Sto:lo Research and Resource Management Centre at Sto:lo Nation. At the outset of the meeting, Hardman introduced the candidates and read a statement from Strahl (who she at first mistakenly referred to as Chuck). “I regret that my schedule did not allow me to attend this evening,” his message said. He went on to list a number of items tackled by the Conservative government in recent years: the residential schools apology, creation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the First Nations Financial

Transparency Act and $13 million in funding to Sto:lo Nation for a skills and training program, among other things. But it was those first words NDP candidate Seonaigh MacPherson focused on as she talked about the “white lies” politicians tell. “I really like Mark, to be honest, as a person, but I don’t like the way politicians distort things,” she said. “It’s this thing that bugs me. I’ve seen why he didn’t come tonight and it wasn’t what he just said. “This ‘sorry I have a previous engagement tonight, I can’t come’ creates a kind of continuum of lack of trust between people and their government.” Her comment alluded to a statement

made about meetings with an “unbiased moderator.” In a September press release, the Strahl campaign said he would attend four meetings: the Rotary Club meeting Sept. 30, the Hope and District Chamber of Commerce meeting Oct. 1, the Chilliwack Cultural Centre Society meeting Oct. 7 and the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce meeting Oct. 15. “Our local Rotary Clubs and Chambers of Commerce have strong track records of successfully hosting these types of forums with an unbiased moderator in a neutral environment, which allows for discussion on a wide variety of topics from a wide cross section of our community,” Strahl said. “I am encouraging local voters to attend one of these debates.” { See ALL-CANDIDATES, page A21 }

The supply-managed dairy industry dodged a bullet with the TPP.

Compensation package lessens impact { TPP, from page A1 } about the announcement of the TPP, as it means additional foreign access of dairy products into Canada amounting to about 3.25 per cent of Canada’s 2016 milk production,” said Dave Taylor, B.C. Dairy Association board chair. Taylor said it was a step backwards to lose market share in the form of 23 million litres of lost production to dairy producers in B.C. “We obviously would have preferred that no additional market access be conceded in the dairy sector,” said Dairy Farmers of Canada president Wally Smith. But while both Smith and Taylor said handing market access to other nations is disappointing, it could have been a lot worse. “We recognize that our government fought hard against other countries’ demands, and have lessened the burden by announcing mitigation measures and what seems to be a fair compensation package, to minimize the impact on Canadian dairy farmers and make up for cutting growth in the domestic market,” Smith said. “It’s a step backwards to lose market share and ultimately lose cows from our system,” Taylor said. “There is, however, less anxiety today knowing that supply management is going to be sustainable for future generations—for that, we are grateful.” As part of the deal, the Government of Canada announced $4.3 billion to compensate supply managed industries for the loss of market share. Smallscale Chilliwack dairy farmer Peter Hanson said these funds don’t protect producers but just displace funds being handed to foreign milk producers. “I think it’s bad news for our dairy industry,” he told the Times. How are smaller dairy producers able to compete with these massive dairies around the world that are way more efficient due to their size? Nonsense, and [Stephen]

Harper should not even be allowed to sign such deals 15 days before a federal election.” Garry Fehr, new director of the University of the Fraser Valley’s (UFV) Agriculture Centre of Excellence said the deal will force farms to modernize to keep up with global competitors. While some have already taken those steps, newer, less-established farms may find themselves playing catch up. “Those larger dairy farms that have already invested will probably be fine. It’s the smaller farms that don’t have the capital, especially the newer entrants, that are really going to struggle because they don’t have the cash. They bought into a system that they thought was stable, and now they don’t know what they’re dealing with and they don’t necessarily have the capital to invest.” Fehr said the small quotas are unlikely to significantly affect prices, but that the government program for farmers— most of which is meant to make up for financial losses—will cost taxpayers. The hope among farmers, Fehr said, will be that Canada can increase its exports to other TPP countries. “I think that’s the fear in that we don’t know if that’s the first bit of erosion in the supply management system—is it indicative of what’s coming, or will we sit here for 10 years and re-negotiate again.” As for that other important local supply-managed industry, Ray Nickel with the BC Poultry Association suggested the deal was as good as farmers could hope for, even if it could pose a challenge. “Obviously, nobody in my business welcomes the fact that there’s going to be more access without any conditions,” he said. “Anytime there’s increased access, it puts pressure on our prices.” But beyond that, Nickel called the agreement, “a good deal for all involved,” and said he was impressed with the ability of the government to maintain supply management.

A Chilliwack man faces drunk driving charges after a hit and run downtown on Sept. 27. One woman was taken to hospital after she was struck by a motor vehicle in the in the 45400-block of Wellington Avenue at approximately 1:30 a.m. The vehicle that hit the 25-year-old woman fled the scene. Upon arrival, Mounties found the woman who was suffering non-life threatening injuries. Within minutes of the collision, a patrolling general duty officer observed a grey car being driven erratically near Five Corners. After stopping the car, the officer formed the opinion the 24-year-old Chilliwack man operating the car had consumed alcohol. Further investigation quickly linked the grey car to the incident on Wellington Avenue. No charges have yet been laid.

The following is the ninth question in an ongoing series of election questions posed to Chilliwack-Hope candidates posted at ChilliwackVotes.com. These are edited answers. See full responses at www.chilliwacktimes.com. Question 9 If you are successful in your bid to be our local representative, how will you ensure you are a representative of all interests in the riding of Chilliwack-Hope, and how will you communicate with your constituents over the length of your term? Thomas Cheney If elected I would hold no less than four townhalls per year in both Chilliwack and Hope. I would also use social media to encourage casual communication and dialogue between myself and constituents. I would also work with the Chilliwack Times, Chilliwack Progress and Hope Standard to have monthly articles where their editors would select questions (from the public as well as staff) to ask me. I would like to replicate the success that Chilliwack MLA John Martin has had on the provincial level with the “Java with John” events. I would also go to all of the all-candidates debates in the next election, be it hosted by the UFV student union or the Chamber of Commerce. The job of the MP is to represent the constituency to Parliament, not the party to the constituency.

2015 Federal Election October 19

Louis De Jaeger Once elected as your federal representative, I will build upon the many relationships I’ve already forged in Chilliwack and will seek out opportunities to create new ones. I will remain connected to the boards, committees and councils that have helped me better understand our community. I will use the leadership experience I’ve gained to reach out to all the constituents of Chilliwack-Hope. Your concerns will be my priority. Advocating for better jobs, investment opportunities, and targeted training will be high on my radar. I will actively pursue my passion for the sustainability of our air, water and agriculture. I believe that your federal representative must remain accessible to you. My constituency offices will be located in the heart of Chilliwack and Hope. I will establish city caucuses to keep abreast of local issues. I pledge to participate in regular conference calls with local media and I will establish a tollfree line to “Connect with your MP,” so seniors, veterans, and constituents can get the help that they deserve on

accessing programs and benefits from their government. Alexander Johnson Any bill that asks for money to fight a war on any ground, I will vote against that. Your body is your business, enjoy it, and you shouldn’t be forced into supporting attacks on other nations with your tax dollars. Any bill that tries to restrict peaceful and responsible gun owners from their property, I will vote against that. There is no logical reasoning to believe that more laws and restrictions will keep us safe from those who wish to use guns as weapons. Any bill that allows the Government to interfere with the consumer from purchasing a product from a business at a price they equally deem as fair, I will vote against that. I don’t believe the federal level is better at determining how much something is worth to you. Long to short of it, I would never vote to give the federal government more power. Seonaigh MacPherson If elected, I will represent every constituent in this riding, equally, whether or not I believe they voted for me and regardless of their position in the community. Campaigning, I have met with over 10,000 residents, responded to email and many Facebook inquiries, and

agreed to most meetings and schools invitations. I will continue to do so as an MP. I’d like to host regular townhalls or coffee meetings and maintain productive relations with the leadership of major community organizations. I will aspire to be transparent, accessible, and truthful in communicating with constituents. I will revive my blog (seonaigh.blogspot.ca), which had 10,000 visitors. I will remain active on social media, writing letters to the editor, and preparing occasional but meaningful mailouts to reach those who don’t use computers. I will continue to visit churches, events, and meetings to interact and listen to people in the places that they congregate. Dorothy-Jean O’Donnell Whatever the outcome, I will work to build Citizens Committees for Democratic Renewal. This is a non-partisan issue. We need renewal of the political process. The people, not political parties, should make the decisions which affect their lives. The Member of Parliament should be directly responsible to all the electors of Chilliwack-Hope. Mechanisms are needed to hold the MP to account. These include initiative and recall, and regular townhalls throughout the riding to give direction to the MP. The Marxist-Leninist Party of Canada says fund the process not the parties. Money that is currently given

Thursday, October 08, 2015 A7

to political parties, should instead fund a public process whereby the people of Chilliwack-Hope can set the programme which expresses their priorities and select candidates who are seen as capable of representing that program. I look forward to continuing to work to develop the politics of democratic renewal in Chilliwack-Hope. To communicate visit mlpc.ca Mark Strahl As your MP, I’ve made it priority to be available and accessible to my constituents. I’ve met with hundreds of you in meaningful meetings in my office, and have engaged with thousands more at community events, in your homes, and via all forms of communication, including my surveys, brochures, telephone townhalls, letters, emails and social media platforms. Now that the riding is becoming much smaller and will include many fewer communities, I’m looking forward to spending more time in Chilliwack and Hope and am hoping to use the successful model of constituent coffee meetings that MLA John Martin has used to connect with even more of you on a personal level. I take the job of representing my constituents seriously, and am committed to taking the common sense of the common people to the House of Commons. I will continue to put my constituents first, as your voice in Ottawa.

Diversity not a wedge, it’s glue

◗ Publisher

onsensus building in B.C. is a difficult proposition. Not quite an exercise in futility, but close. The diversity of this province—geography and people—is never more evident than at the annual UBCM conference. To a city councillor from Williams Lake, Vancouver politicians must sound like they are speaking an unfamiliar language when they talk about homelessness. While this kind of diversity makes us a unique and enviable province, it also presents problems for those we send to Victoria as MLAs. It poses problems for political parties, too. The NDP, for example, has a long history of support from trade unions. But the NDP all has a strong green element who do not support mega-projects. The BC Liberals have different challenges, but with a similar theme of geographical/philosophical diversity. What is an MLA to do? The easy answer is to keep tabs on what is being said in your constituency and vote accordingly. But that’s not easy given our party system. There is no simple answer. Perhaps it is just a matter of holding on for a never-ending, bumpy ride. But we should never lose sight of the fact that this diversity should do more to make us a great place than it does to drive us apart.

B.C. boards reek of patronage

ew York Senator William L. Marcy could have just as easily been referring to B.C. in 2015—and not the 1828 victory of the Jackson Democrats—when he boasted “to the victor belong the spoils.” Even he would have marvelled at the spoils available in B.C. Other provinces have their Crown corps and spots on various boards to reward the party faithful, but the B.C. government has taken it to a whole new level. The government makes appointments to the boards of more than 300 public agencies and for a few key ones every single spot on the boards. From health authorities to administrative tribunals, colleges to police boards, it’s patronage heaven. When the biggies are announced—like Brad Bennett’s ascension last week to chairman of the board at BC Hydro—it’ll make a splash, not so with appointments to the Integrated Cadastral Information Society. Managing to keep a straight face, Premier Christy Clark called Bennett’s new post “essentially volunteer work.” Some may differ with Clark’s concept of volunteering. BC Hydro’s board met 21 times in 2013/14, with the 13 directors racking up $192,750 in meeting fees and $227,000 in

DERMOD TRAVIS Be Our Guest retainers. The chair, Stephen Bellringer, pocketed $67,625. Bennett went home with $32,125, plus $15,724 in expenses. Total board expenses rang in at $61,315, which isn’t so bad when you consider that one director lives in Boston, Massachusetts. TransLink’s board must be one of the coveted “I’ve died and gone to heaven” appointments. The chair pulled in $100,000 last year and that’s a part-time gig. One director made $59,900, roughly what someone working at minimum wage would earn over three years. All in, TransLink’s board cost $573,201. Presumably, that’s what you have to pay to get the not so seamless introduction of the Compass Card and its unanticipated single-zone fare system. Many appointees donate generously to the BC Liberals. BC Hydro’s Stephen Bellringer always manages to scrape up $7,500 for the party every year.

The bigger surprise is that some of the agencies donate as well. The Chicken Marketing Board gave $3,900 to the Liberals between 2005 and 2014, the Milk Marketing Board $2,000, and the Association of B.C. Forest Professionals $5,500 ($2,700 to the NDP). There also seems to be a dearth of talent. A few appointees have worn more than one hat over the years, sometimes at once. One frequent appointee, Brenda Eaton, has served on the boards of the B.C. Real Estate Foundation, B.C. Safety Authority, BC Hydro, Powerex, was the chair of B.C. Housing, and is now on the board of TransLink. The CEO of the Northern Development Initiative Trust—which is one of the agencies the government appoints directors to—has herself been appointed to the board of BC Hydro. One chaired two boards, sat on two more—all at the same time—collecting $442,728 in fees along the way. Some boards offer a refuge for ex-MLAs to wile away the days. John Les and Jack Weisgerber are two who have found a second wind, and a second paycheque. What’s in it for the government, beyond sharing the fruits of power? Little or no pushback and micro-control.

Remember the deafening silence from university board of governors over the government’s plans to redirect a greater chunk of advanced education funding to training for high-demand jobs without actually spending more money? Don’t like what’s going on at Fraser Health? Fire the chair, as Health minister Dr. Terry Lake did in 2014. Threaten another transit referendum if the Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation tries to go ahead with mobility pricing, as TransLink Minister Peter Fassbender did this week. Lip service to local autonomy. When the government appoints a majority of the board—as it does with colleges, universities and health authorities—it puts them in the unique position of both allocating budgets and having the final say on how they’re spent. Lest there be any confusion over who’s really the boss, Crown corporations are permitted to have separate boards for their subsidiaries, but directors are only appointed “after approval from Cabinet.” One piece of good news: the government may still be searching for an Honorary B.C. Wine Envoy. ◗ Dermod Travis is the executive director of IntegrityBC. www.integritybc.ca

Kudos to SD33 for turning down deal

Editor: Re: Letter by Anita Unger, Election canvassers, Times, Sept. 24. I have to commend Anita Unger on a well-stated letter regarding election canvassers and the strata. In my opinion she is absolutely correct about maintaining that her front door starts at the main entrance of her building. That door is locked for a purpose, to prevent the entry of unwanted personnel, who may pose a risk to her and all the others who live there. The law may give the canvasser the right to do their business, but it does not give them the right to enter anyone’s private dwelling uninvited. The condo owner’s dwelling starts at that front locked entrance. The correct way to conduct legal canvassing, is to first of all, contact a strata director, or manager, and get official permission to enter. Some of these canvassers have mistakenly assumed that they do not need the permission to enter, particularly, permission from an official representative of the strata owners. Some even have a rather negative attitude about strata owner’s rights, and can run into a great deal of difficulty. In their great zeal to get their campaign out there, they forget the rights of others, and only concern themselves with their own. A homeowner, whether it’s a house, or a condo, still has the right to refuse entry to outsiders. The strata could, very rightly, require the canvasser to contact each individual from the front door, identify him or herself, and their purpose, and on being

Protect oceans for the future Editor: It’s time that issues caused by global warming are discussed in election debates. And that scientists are not ignored or put on the shelf due to corporate greed. Our future depends on having clean air, water and reliable food sources. We need to protect our farm lands waters and wildlife, in order for our children and grandchildren to have a a healthy future. On Oct. 19, let’s get out in record numbers to vote for healthy oceans and a Canada we believe in. Maureen Raymond Chilliwack

Generous man made mom’s day Editor: It is really nice to know that their are still some awesome gentlemen out there in the world today. I’m speaking about the very generous gentleman on Aug. 26 at the British Café. It was my mother’s 86th birthday. Being English she just loves the fish and chip dinner there, it’s her favourite place to eat. I took mom there for lunch. This gentleman had his lunch there also sitting next to the window. He must have overheard me talking to the lovely lady owner about mom’s birthday. Just before we were done

Hard work always gets the job done Editor: In my opinion the National Liberal party hit a home run when it promised to cancel the F-35 fighter-jet project. Part of the assignment of the new aircraft was to patrol our northern regions, which drones can do much more effectively and cheaply. School’s still out on this but I think the drone has enormous advantages militarily, and at the beginning of the F-35 debacle, Canada’s military forces had an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of research. The PM seems to pay close attention to government lobby groups—which I think of as “corruption incorporated”—but they certainly have enriched the national Conservative party. Locally, I’m convinced it would take a bank robbery conviction to upset the Strahl family business—and even that might be doubtful. However, I’m hoping that everyone votes for the candidate they feel is the most honest regardless of party affiliation. No matter who you choose, that person will get just as much accomplished by hard work as any other candidate—and that is regardless of which party controls the house. Jack Stewart Chilliwack

Three ways to cast your vote now Editor: I thought to share the three ways people are able to vote now in this riding.

(1) Elections Canada Offices: You can register and vote at the Chilliwack Elections Canada office for Hope and Chilliwack: • Oct. 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 – Elections Canada Office - 46167 Yale Rd. East, Suite 206 [between 5 Corners and the Post Office]. This is the office for Hope residents as well. • Times: Monday to Friday – 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. [get there by 8 p.m. to be safe] • Saturday – 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. [5 p.m. to be safe] • Sunday – noon to 4 p.m. [3 p.m. to be safe] • One piece of ID – driver’s licence; or provincial ID card; or any other government card with your photo, name and current address. • This is a write-in ballot. A page with candidates names is provided in the voting booth. • Check the Elections Canada website [elections.ca] for more information or phone 1-866499-8025, “Extension 1” to get the Chilliwack office. (2) Advance Voting Days: Also, if you are already registered with a Voter Information Card, you can vote in the Advance Poll on Oct. 9, 10, 11, 12 [one of six locations will appear on your Card]. (3) Election Day: Of course, all registered voters can vote on Oct. 19, election day, and there are many polling stations assigned for that. See your Voter Information Card for details. Dave Clyne Chilliwack

Keep calm and campaign on Editor: We live in the safest time period in history. This is not what we hear from many of our leaders, but actually it’s a fact. Statistics bear that out. Even “terrorism” is less of a risk today. You’ve likely heard about all the exotic ways of dying you are more likely to experience (cows, bathtubs, lightning). So why all the fear-mongering? Is this in keeping with the values of our Chilliwack and Hope communities? The pursuit of peace has long been a Canadian hallmark, shaping our international reputation. Consistently in state-ofthe-nation polls, Canadians say that the country’s international reputation as peacekeeper is held dear. And we’re rightfully known for our measured and

our dinner, the lovely waitress informed us that the gentleman had paid for mom’s dinner. I just about started to cry, I was so overwhelmed and so was my mother. The waitress pointed him out outside walking towards Canadian Tire. I went to the door and yelled out, “Thank you very much sir, very kind of you!” and he smiled and waved back. I just wanted to say thank you sir again, you made an 86-year-old lady feel on top of the world to have someone care enough to do that for a stranger.

It is nice to know that these thoughtful trustees had the foresight to see the risks to children and to citizens of Chilliwack and to put their health and safety first.

So many blessings we can count BY REV. WILLEM H. VAN DE WALL Cooke’s Presbyterian Church

“Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” - Thessalonians 5:16-18

here was once a woman in Africa who had two disabled daughters that she raised by herself. They were very little when her husband died in a field fire. The woman never had much to live on and even less to offer her two daughters. But each time when people asked her how she was doing she said, “I am thankful.” One day a missionary asked her, “Ayo, how can you say that you are thankful? Are you truly thankful?” Ayo answered, “My mother gave me this name and it means ‘full of joy’ . . . and that’s how I think of life each day. There is always something to be thankful for . . . always something to thank God for.” As we celebrate Thanksgiving

you give thanks to God, despite the most difficult circumstances, the enemy loses a big battle in your life. When you give thanks in the midst of difficulty, you bring pleasure to God’s heart. He is looking for Christians who live in a realm of praise and thanksgiving where the enemy no longer has an ability to hold or manipulate that person. Satan is defeated when we have a thankful heart because thankfulness during difficulty is a sacrifice pleasing to God. Are you thankful? Are you thankful for your present circumstances? Are you thankful for the city and province you live in and the country you are a part of? Are you thankful for the prosperity we enjoy in comparison to so many in poor countries who do not have much? But above all, are you thankful for what God invested in your life? You see, He invested His most precious possession in each one of us when Jesus died for our sins on the cross. There can’t be anything greater we can thank God for. You see, beyond Thanksgiving meals and gath-

next week we think of how we can show our gratitude towards God and one another. But we are honest when we ask the question, “Is it always possible to be thankful?” As much as the apostle Paul instructed the believers not just in Thessalonica, but in most of his letters, to give thanks in all circumstances, questions would go from people’s hearts and minds. “What about those who lost everything in a flood or earthquake? What about a child that looks after a parent in Malawi who is dying of AIDS? What about those who live in war zones?” But still we are instructed to give thanks, no matter what our circumstances are. God wants us to live in gratitude. Each day there are the things we can list as blessings we receive. There are so many blessings we can count. And when we do, the blessings will outweigh the things that we feel depressed about. And let’s think about the reality—Thanksgiving breaks the power of Satan, the enemy who wants to defeat us.

Let us go .. d o w n to TE T H E P OT

erings our thanks to God will continue each day for the fact that we continue to live as the people He graced with salvation in His Son. And then from this the greatest reason to be grateful for, we can list all the things that flow from what our Heavenly Father grants us—our spouses, our children, our professions, our homes, our daily bread and the list goes on and on. Thankfulness is a key to your life. It is the key that turns your situation around because it changes you, your outlook, and your attitude. There is power in a thankful heart. Thanksgiving brings contentment. Why don’t we all develop a grateful heart? That we then celebrate Thanksgiving each year to think “God, I have prepared myself for the build-up of Thanksgiving. From my heart I bring sacrifices of thanks to You.” Happy Thanksgiving!

CHILLIWACK TIMES

Do Harper’s Conservatives value farmers? Under the current administration: • there have been massive cuts to researchers, veterinarians, agricultural scientists, and other members of analytic groups. • drastic slashes were made to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), which — if left unresolved — could develop into a public health crisis. • it took 7 to 10 days for representatives from CFIA to attend some farms during the Fraser Valley’s 2nd Avian Flu outbreak. • twelve months — and millions of dollars in business losses — passed following the outbreak before all farms were back to previous production levels and fully compensated. How will we cope with a 3rd event, a 4th?

• the market value of the quota held by Canadian farmers is roughly $30 billion ($23 billion in dairy alone). Could taxpayers afford to buy it out in full? At 50 cents on the dollar? Less? • the Conservatives leveled an anti-democratic and ideological attack on the price farmers obtained in the global market by removing the Wheat Board’s single desk. After committing to let the fate of the Wheat Board go to a vote, they abused the power of their majority by passing legislation without farmer input or consent — selling assets for pennies on the dollar.

The Liberal Commitment to Canadian Farmers Regardless of where you live, public health, along with the sustainability & safety of Canada’s food supply, are critical issues. Stable food prices sustain rural economies —boosting employment and supporting local agri-businesses. Let me be clear: The Liberal Party supports supply management, and will defend supply management in international trade negotiations. Supply management provides stable, fair prices for farmers and consumers and economic security for agricultural communities. Liberals know our agriculture industry is at risk and we should be investing in the science to minimize ongoing outbreaks like Avian Flu… but this takes stable financing. We don’t think risking the livelihood of Canadians — by downsizing or eliminating their jobs — is a responsible way to balance a budget or trim a deficit. And we don’t believe safety standards should be an option for fiscal compromise either. The Labour Movement is an important part of the Canadian work force, and a huge part of the agriculture industry. Without the Labour Movement there would be no middle class, and the Liberal Party of Canada is committed to middle class Canadians and those working hard to join it.

7234759

Overall, the Liberal Party of Canada wants to bring our government back to a focus on building relationships and partnering together, starting with the House of Commons and moving into the municipalities, provinces, and our trading partners overseas. The philosophy of the current Harper Conservatives is not the Canadian way. It’s not what built this country.

➤ CRIME BRIEFS from being a victim of fraud by visiting the CRA Website at www. cra-arc.gc.ca/fraudprevention. Two arsons in two days, police and fire officials think they may be linked An early morning fire Oct. 1 at a Lewis Avenue home appears to be deliberately set, according to the Chilliwack Fire Department. Fewer than 24 hours later firefighters were dispatched to another arson at approximately 3 a.m. in the 45000 block of Yates, just a block a way. “Fortunately no one was injured in either fire,” Chilliwack RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Mike Rail said. “Police are determining if the fires were targeted and have not dismissed the possibility the incidents are linked.” Occupants at the Lewis Avenue residence were home at the time of the fire and woke at around 5 a.m. to the smell of smoke. They quickly evacuated the home, called 9-1-1 and tried to extinguish the fire with a garden hose. Firefighters responded from

Halls 1 and 4 and quickly brought the fire under control, but the home was seriously damaged. Then, in the early hours of Oct. 2, crews arrived and extinguished a fire at the front of a residence on Yates Street. In both cases officers quickly determined the source of the fires was suspicious and secured the premises. Anyone with information about either fire is asked to call the RCMP at 604-792-4611 or anonymously through Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or www. chilliwackcrimestoppers.ca.

RCMP received a report of an assault at a residence in the 46200 block of Gore Avenue on Sept. 28 at 8:45 p.m. Upon arrival, officers found what they believe to be illegal drugs. Two suspects were arrested, the home was secured and a search warrant was obtained. Police found cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, morphine, along with cash, scales, and a loaded .45 calibre handgun. The suspects, a 23-year-old man and 19-year-old woman, were later released from custody pending further police investigation. ◗ Compiled by Paul J. Henderson

Police warn of CRA scam that seeks to solicit money through intimidation The scam isn’t a new one, but Chilliwack RCMP are warning the public of criminals posing as Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) employees to solicit money. In each case the potential victim receives a telephone call from a male claiming to be a representative of the CRA. The caller accuses the victim of owing income tax and demands immediate payment either by credit card or prepaid credit card. There have been reports that if challenged, the caller becomes aggressive, threatening the victim with arrest. “Police have recently experienced a rash of such complaints in Chilliwack,” Chilliwack RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Mike Rail said. “The thieves are convincing, but the RCMP reminds everyone, CRA officials will not threaten court charges, jail or deportation to scare you into paying debt.” The Times has been made aware of at least three local individuals who have received the calls. Police continue to investigate these frauds and urge anyone receiving telephone calls from agents claiming to be from the CRA to contact the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611. To confirm you have been contacted by a CRA representative the public is encouraged to call the CRA at 1-800-959-8281 for individual concerns or 1-800-9595525 for business- related calls.

In his fourth year with the UFV men’s team, veteran player O’Dell was a CCAA All-Canadian in 2014 after finishing second overall in the PacWest. “I’ve been around the block, I’ve played in a few more national championships,” he says. “But everyone on the team knows what to do, they know how to shoot low scores, so really I just go out and do my job and try to play the best I can.” He repeated an overall silver this year, also winning his team’s home UFV Invitational tournament in early October—his second overall win, following a first at Kwantlen’s home event last season. The 22-year-old Maple Ridge product has proven himself capable of putting up extremely low scores at Chilliwack Golf Club and hopes to use his experience at next week’s nationals. O’Dell shot a 62 at the Cascades’ team tryouts in 2013, and a 63 at a previous PacWest tournament. “He’s now stepped into that number one role and he’s starting to play some really good golf,” says head coach Chris Bertram. “He certainly has all kinds of potential and has been leading us so far this year and we’re looking for him to continue in that role.”

Zach Olson

The second year UFV golfer from Strathmore, Alta., won the individual title at the Kwantlen Invitational in September. “Winning the individual title was definitely a boost in my self-esteem,” Olson says. “I was close a couple times last year and wasn’t able to close it out so being able to get my first win definitely felt good to start off the year.” Coach Bertram recognizes the strong seventh place PacWest individual golfer saying Olson has been playing some some “really solid golf.” And Olson credits Bertram’s teachings for much of that. “He has a lot of important information to share with us especially on the mental side of the game,” Olson says. “He’s a big believer on thinking postively.”

Connor McLellan

A Sardis secondary graduate, McLellan is one of the top young talents on the Cascades team. The second year UFV student works at Chilliwack Golf Club, and has played the course hundreds of times. Bertram believes McLellan is capable of using that local knowledge to put up some low numbers at nationals. “I’ve played here since I was 12 years old so I feel really comfortable on this golf course,” says the 19-year-old. “I feel like nationals is going to go really well for myself and the team.” McLellan finished 10th in PacWest this year.

After spending her rookie year in the shadow of veteran Cascades stars Jen Woods and Natasha Mackenzie, Hannah has stepped into the number one spot on the UFV women’s team depth chart this season. She won the women’s individual titles at the Kwantlen Invitational and her own team’s UFV tournament this season. Dirksen went on to win the women’s PacWest overall title for the season by a four-stroke margin. “Hannah . . . has stepped into the leadership role on that team even as a secondyear player,” says Bertram. “She’s done great things for us this year. She’s really developed and is turning into a tremendous competitor. “She’s the backbone of the team.” To prepare for nationals, Dirksen is getting out on the course more and working hard, according to the 20-year-old.

Chiefs edged twice BY GREG LAYCHAK Chilliwack Times

fter a two-game home and away series with the Langley Rivermen last weekend the Chilliwack Chiefs add two close losses to the 2015/16 season start, bringing their record to 3-3-1 with two overtime losses. The Rivermen beat the Chiefs at Langley Events Centre 6-4 Friday, then took a nail biter from Chilliwack 3-2 in overtime the next night at Prospera Centre. Chiefs goalie Matteo Esposito left the net at 5:25 in the first period of Friday’s away game after two successive goals from Rivermen Justin Szeto and Matthew Graham gave an early lead to Langley. Ryan Roseboom answered to bring the game within one, but Langley’s Zac Masson made it 3-1 heading into the first intermission. However, it was all Chiefs in the second frame with goals from Dennis Cholowski and Vimal Sukumaran evening the score after 40 minutes. And that was the closest Chilliwack would come to a win on Friday, the next two goals getting past Aidan Pelino and an empty-netter bringing Langley up to six points before Mark Esposito put away a power-play goal to slightly diminish the 6-4 loss. When the Rivermen took their turn in Chilliwack the next night, they edged the Chiefs in double OT, despite being outshot 47-27. After a scoreless first period, Justin Fregona’s goal put a Langley point on the board. Sukumaran put one past Riverman goalie Nickolas Trenciansky on a power play for his second goal of the weekend, tying the game at 1-1. And though Chilliwack’s Jesse Lansdell took the Chiefs to 2-1 with his score early in the second frame, a power-play goal from Riverman Dominic Franco scored the goal that would eventually take the rivals into two periods of OT.

nly two words are required to entice hockey fans to attend this Saturday’s Chiefs game at Prospera Centre: Penticton Vees. This will be the last time we will see the defending British Columbia Hockey League Champion squad in Chilliwack this regular season, and if this game is even close to the previous six one-goal game encounters, we are all in for a real treat. Penticton has built another serious title contender and features a pair of potential 2016 first round NHL draft picks in forward Tyson Jost, who has a commitment to NCAA perennial powerhouse North Dakata, and blueliner Dante Fabbro, who had 12 points in eight games heading into this week’s action. The NHL connections do not stop there as you will see the name Brodeur on the back of one of the jerseys of the Peach City’s netminders. Twenty-year-old Anthony Brodeur is the son of legendary puck stopper Martin Brodeur. Anthony has yet to lose a game this season and is sporting a goal against average just over 1.00. Both the Vees and Chiefs will be in action Friday night with Penticton at home to West Kelowna and Chilliwack at the Eagle’s Nest in Surrey. The Chiefs defeated Surrey 6-0 last week in a feisty match-up at Prospera Centre. The Chiefs Kids Club has returned this season and with the help of White Spot has created

IPL Q & A Q: I have noticed that my skin is looking dull and I even have some sun spots that have appeared. What can I do? A: Over the years sun damage causes us to have broken capillaries and sun spots which can make us look 10 years older. We have various ways to improve skin texture and tone. We can start by using a combination of physician grade treatment products which include Vitamin A, hydroquinone and sunblock as well as IPL (Intense Pulsed Light). Usually 3 – 5 treatments are necessary. If you are interested in a more aggressive treatment we can combine physician grade products, IPL and Fraxel laser – the combination will enhance each others results. You will need to continue protecting yourself from the sun and use sunblocks, hats and sunglasses to maintain the results. Dr. Marianna Snyman

Good weekend for FVCB team

The Fraser Valley college baseball team (FVCB) played two double-headers last weekend, travelling to Nanaimo Saturday for two games against the Vancouver Island Baseball Institute (VIBI), then returning home to host Douglas College Royals of the Northwest Athletic Conference (NWAC) and the Okanagan Athletics of the B.C. Premier Baseball League (BCPBL) in a three-team mini-tournament at Fairfield Island on Sunday. FVCB split their away matches on the island, 4-0 for VIBI and 11-5 for the Chilliwack team. At home they swept their two matches, beating Douglas College 11-3 and Okanagan in a 2-0 pitcher’s duel. The

Our vaulters best in B.C.

Chilliwack’s equestrian vaulters, Freedom Acrobatics—formerly known as Cheam Vaulters—won big at the BC Provincial Vaulting Championships bringing home trophies, ribbons and provincial titles from the Langley event late last month. In the trot team category, Freedom’s Team Wonderland won B.C. championship trophies aboard Rosie, a Percheron mare lunged by team coach Taylor Eamor. Team members were Sydney Moorhouse, Emma Eidsness, Hannah Campbell, Sophie Horvath, Jordan Sandulak and Ashley Dykstra. Team Justice brought home gold medals for the intermediate canter division. Lunged by Alisa Schmidt, the team consisted of Aleasha Meloshinsky, Jocey Vanderlende, Chelsea Wensley, Stephanie Struys, Railey Bird and Trinity Smadello. In the advanced canter team class, the first place award went to Team Epica aboard the Belgian gelding Promise, lunged by Barb Schmidt. That routine was performed by Cassie Sponchia, Darla Ricka, Taylor Eam-

or, Alisa Schmidt, Samantha Kennedy and Shaylee Isaac-Edwards. Eamor and Sponchia also earned top honours in the advanced pairs routine, performing together on Duncan, lunged by Ali McKitrick. At the elite canter level, Freedom head coach Alisa Schmidt, who has represented Canada several times at the world championship level, earned the gold medal after achieving the highest scores of the B.C. competition for her performances on Promise. Freedom’s Chelsea Wensley took home the gold medal in the advanced canter level, also on Promise. Ashley Dykstra won gold in the novice walk category. The next appearance for the local vaulters will be Oct. 24 when they host the 2015 Octoberfest event at their home arena Bit Crazy Stables in Chilliwack.

Hannah Dirksen was three strokes better than UBC Okanagan Heat’s Lauren Siemers, earning her second win of the season—and securing her the PacWest overall title. Connor O’Dell had a similar weekend, winning the individual game at the Chilliwack course by three strokes and landing at second overall over the golf season. For the first time in three seasons, the Cascades did not earn a PacWest team banner, with those honours going to the men’s Camosun Chargers and the women’s UBC Okanagan Heat.

A will provides for the care of your children who are minors, enabling you to choose a guardian. Should both parents die, it assures the children do not become a ward of the Court.

3. Speedy settlement of affairs: Without a will, lengthy court delays could create undue hardship for your family.

4. Estate Planning: When skilfully drafted, a will allows you to incorporate tax-saving measures and avoid unnecessary taxes. This in turns results in increased funds for your beneficiaries.

5. Simplify the distribution of your estates: By providing a blueprint and a list of directions, families will not have to guess about what you wanted.

WILLS & ESTATES Cont’d

7. Questions of capacity:

If a person loses mental capacity through Alzheimer’s, etc., it’s not legally possible to write a will.

8. Supporting your favourite causes: A will assure that you can continue to help organizations you have believed in during your lifetime, such as health, education or sports charity, or to help a human rights organization like Amnesty International.

9. Relieving any burden on your family: Reviewing the contents and the nature of your estate and making known your decisions ahead of time for its disposition makes it easier on other family members.

10. Ability to be creative: There are relatively few rules that limit a testator’s (person who writes a will) ability to make creative, thoughtful dispositions of property.

{ VOTE, from page A1 } Commodore, who is 61 years old, calls that patronizing. He also thinks Crey has his history wrong with respect to the Second World War. For one thing, it wasn’t until 1960 that the right to vote was extended to aboriginals. “Veterans that came back lost their [aboriginal] status to gain the vote,” Commodore adds. “So what did you have to give up to get the right to vote, Paul?” Commodore says also that for traditional First Nations people, power doesn’t come from the provincial or federal governments. “Our power comes from our ancestors and the creator and if we want to advance our cause we should be working for our own cause rather than working for any political party.” With his tongue firmly in cheek, Commodore makes no bones about his dislike for the Stephen Harper government and he jokes that if he votes, he should vote Conservative: “Because another Harper term might spark up a genuine revolution.”

Not pushing ‘don’t vote message,’ but would rather work at direct action to make fundamental change he can to encourage voting in the Another argument made Sto:lo community and beyond, against voting in some circles, is Commodore is not pushing his that it legitimizes a government “don’t vote” message. some indigenous people don’t “I’m not recognize. telling other And maybe it people not undermines to vote.

As for incumbent Conservative Mark Strahl’s no show, here the two men are in agreement. “I’m a bit disappointed,” Commodore said. “You’d think he would make an appearance.” “He’s a nice young man but I think he’s making a mistake,” Crey said. “The Sto:lo people are welcoming people and are courteous.” After the event, Commodore was unmoved by the policies put forward by the other parties. “This didn’t change my opinion,” he said. “I’ve heard it all before.”

Liberal candidate Louis De Jaeger speaks at the all-candidate meeting held at Sto:lo Nation Monday evening. { ALL-CANDIDATES, from page A3 } De Jaeger and MacPherson were joined on the panel to discuss First Nations issues by Thomas Cheney of the Green Party, Marxist-Leninist Dorothy-Jean O’Donnell and Libertarian Alexander Johnson. Questions were posed to the candidates by members of the audience on a wide range of subjects from why some candidates did not attend a ceremony at Cheam in September to dike funding to war in the Middle East. Te n - y e a r- o l d Ma c k e n z i e Stollings from Vedder elementary had a question for Strahl and De Jaeger about why they are not coming to a forum she and her classmates invited them to. De Jaeger said it was hard to make it to every event he was invited to. MacPherson said she would

NDP favours private members bill to invest in longhouses be there the next day at Stollings’ school. Stollings other question to Strahl and MacPherson: “Why do your ads say mean things about the other parties?” MacPherson defended the NDP’s negative advertising by saying that many people think Conservative policy is harmful to Canada. “We have to say why this one is wrong and why this one is right,” she said. On a question about how the candidates would make life better for Sto:lo people and preserve culture, Libertarian Alexander Johnson reverted to his party’s philosophy of reducing government in every corner of policy. De Jaeger reiterated the need for

a Member of Parliament to have positive relationships with the community he serves. MacPherson said she had studied this subject in her academic career for 30 years. She added that speaking with two local elder she has an idea for a private members bill: invest in longhouses both as a way to revitalize culture and create community centres. O n the issue of violence against women, Cheney said the Greens would increase sentences for domestic violence and De Jaeger said the billions the Liberals have planned for infrastructure would trickle down to community programs in the form of gas tax funding. O’Donnell responded to comments Stephen Harper made regarding

an inquiry into B.C.’s missing and murdered women. “For Stephen Harper to say ‘it’s not on my radar’ is reason enough to defeat him on October 19.” All six election candidates for Chilliwack-Hope were scheduled to attend a meeting Wednesday evening at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre after the Times went to press. The UFV Student Union Society has a meeting scheduled at noon on the Chilliwack campus, although Strahl said he would not attend. ◗ The next chance to see all six candidates is at the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce meeting at the Coast Hotel on Oct. 15 starting at 12:20 p.m.

Creative ways to recycle those falling leaves

eaves cascading down from trees indicate the arrival of autumn. However, colourful and awe-inspiring autumn leaves can be a hazard if left to lie on the ground too long. Fallen leaves form a dense insulator to protect trees’ roots and prevent competing plants from growing. Decomposing leaves also provide nutrients for the tree. But wet leaves can be a safety hazard and leaves left on the lawn through the winter can pose a threat to the grass. These are just a couple of reasons why so much effort is placed on leaf clean-up in the fall. The following are some creative ways to recycle leaves that fall from your trees in the weeks to come. ◗ Mulch: Shredded leaves can make for a great amendment to fertilizer for garden beds and even the lawn. Leaves lying on the grass can be mulched into small pieces with a mulching mower so they don’t choke the blades of grass. Leaves also can be broken down with a string trimmer, a leaf blower that has a vacuum function or a commercial shredder/ chipper. Add the shredded leaves to a compost pile or use them to fill container plants before adding regular potting soil.

◗ Insulation: Collect leaves to mound over delicate perennial plants and shrubs. The leaves will add more warmth to the soil and may help plants make it through harsh winters. Just remove the leaves slowly when spring arrives so that the soil underneath can get the sunlight and water it

needs to thrive. Leave some leaves in the yard so that animals can use them as nesting material and line their dens for the winter. ◗ Stuffing: Create whimsical scarecrows as part of your autumn decoration scheme. Gather older clothes that you no longer use and stuff the

sleeves of shirts and the legs of pants with leaves, which are less expensive and easier to come by than straw. Use a few pieces of straw around the neck and hand areas of the scarecrow for visual effect. Tie off with twine and display your scarecrow. ◗ Bedding: Chicken owners can

use fallen leaves as bedding in their chicken coops. Dry leaves also may create more comfortable and drier conditions for goats and other livestock. Goats may look to recently fallen leaves as a nutritious food source. Gather the leaves and let the goats munch before you further rake and compost the leaves. ◗ Decorations: Natural leaves can be used as decorations both inside and outside a home. String freshly fallen leaves together and wrap them around a grapevine wreath for a rustic door decoration. Leaves can be placed in clear vases and put on display for a cheap way to showcase some autumn color. Preserve favorite leaves with a lamination machine or by sealing them between heated sheets of waxed paper. Cut out the leaf shapes and use for hanging window decorations. ◗ Recreation: Leaves have long been favourite toys for children, who eagerly await jumping into large piles of fallen leaves. Fill paper bags with leaves and draw a target on the front. Let kids test their skill aiming for the targets. Children can camouflage their clothing with leaves and masking tape and have a more intense session of “hide and seek.”

KELMOR • Truck Rentals • Grader • 4 yd Loader Simple ways to soundproof your home Ensure an enjoyable winter indoors

(MS) — As the weather gets colder, Canadians inevitably spend more time indoors. If you’re sharing a space with an excitable toddler, an aspiring rock musician or a TV enthusiast with a penchant for loud volumes, peace and quiet may seem increasingly elusive. Try these simple soundproofing tips to restore or create a more tranquil atmosphere in your home: 1. Hush noisy appliances. Make sure your appliances are working smoothly. Unusual rattles, clanks or vibrations may mean it’s time for a repair. When a replacement is needed, seek out a quieter machine. New technologies have allowed manufacturers to lower the sound output of many models. 2. Seal sound leaks. Holes and cracks around windows and doors let outside noise into the home. Weather-stripping and/or caulking can help to eliminate the intrusion

of exterior noise. Adhesive soundproofing tape can also help seal any problem areas. 3. Anticipate centres of noise when renovating. When designing a new room or renovating an existing one, consider its intended use and potential for generating noise. Playrooms, music studios or home theatres, for example, can be quieted with insulation. Look for a product such as Roxul Safe’n’Sound that is specifically designed to provide superior sound absorption and can be applied to the interior walls of a noisy room to effectively reduce disruptive sounds. 4. Use sound-absorbent materials. Carpets and window drapes prevent sound from echoing around a room. If your home has hardwood, laminate flooring or tile, consider investing in a throw rug to reduce ambient noise and add some character to your space. Taking simple steps to create a more peaceful space will maximize the enjoyment of your home. It can also have the added benefit of helping to keep the peace among spouses, parents and siblings alike.

Technology has changed, but not our commitment to keeping you informed about your community.

The greening E of the real estate market

co-friendly real estate trends are growing in popularity, as more and more home buyers are looking for ways to protect the planet and reduce the often considerable costs associated with home ownership. In a survey of more than 1,000 consumers in the United States, SurveyMonkey.com, working

in conjunction with Blueshift Research, found that one in three consumers prefer eco-friendly products, and 35 per cent are willing to spend more money on products that are good for the environment. Such trends are reflected in the real estate industry, where many buyers are looking for tinier homes

that produce smaller carbon footprints. According to the National Association of Home Builders, the average new home in 2015 was expected to be roughly 2,200 square feet. That’s roughly 10 per cent smaller than the average new home built in 2010. Smaller homes consume less energy, which appeals to homeowners looking

to save money and live more eco-friendly lifestyles. In addition to smaller homes, homeowners are increasingly looking to sustainable materials when building or renovating their homes. Products that conserve water, including lowflow toilets and water-conserving showerheads, have also grown in popularity. 7201439

New Curbside Organic Waste Collection Program

The many uses for

vinegar

being planned for 2017 Give us your feedback to help design the program and for a chance to win an iPad! City staff are attending events in October to provide information to residents and receive feedback:

Vinegar can not only be delicious in salad dressing, but it also can make windows squeaky-clean.

Cleaning Vinegar is an effective cleaning fluid, perhaps best known for producing streak-free windows. Vinegar also can dissolve dirt from painted walls and remove grime from woodwork. By boiling one-quarter cup of white distilled vinegar in the microwave with a cup of water, you can loosen splattered-on food and deodorize the appliance. Vinegar also can be used to deodorize garbage disposals, coffee makers

and kitchen drains. It’s an effective means to removing pet odours from carpeting as well. Around the bathroom, use vinegar to remove soap scum film from shower doors and tile surfaces. Remove stubborn toilet bowl stains as well. Corrosion and hard water can clog showerheads, and by soaking the shower nozzle in vinegar overnight, you can dislodge any material. You can rely on vinegar when cleaning up around your home office as well. Vinegar can help clean sticky scissor blades or remove ballpoint-pen marks from surfaces. A vinegar-and-water solution can be used to clean keyboards and other electronic equipment. Apply with a damp cloth rather than spraying the solution directly onto the electronics. Lawn and garden Vinegar makes an effective weed deterrent and can kill grass that grows between the cracks on sidewalks and driveways. Acid-loving plants, such as rhododendrons or azaleas, can benefit from a little vinegar mixed in when watering. If you want to keep ants at bay, use vinegar when cleaning outdoor

patio furniture or spray it around areas that are susceptible to ant infestations. You may find the ants steer clear of the smell. Health and beauty Some people say that vinegar can be used as an appetite suppressant. Using it on prepared foods may help you to eat less. Vinegar is handy for relieving the pains associated with sunburns and jellyfish stings. Dot irritated areas with vinegar to relieve pain and itching. Because vinegar can act as an antibacterial, gargling it can alleviate some throat ailments. Even if it can’t prevent illness, a vinegar gargle can soothe throat soreness. Apple cider vinegar also may help soothe an upset stomach. Use two teaspoons of the vinegar to one cup of water. Some people have used vinegar to soften skin and remove corns from feet. It also may dissolve warts. Be sure to check with a doctor before using vinegar to verify its safety with regard to your particular situation. In addition to each of these uses, vinegar is handy in the laundry room, helping to remove stains and rinse detergents from fabrics more easily.

heck your kitchen pantry and you will probably find a bottle of vinegar. While this substance can add much-needed tang to favourite recipes and even improve the leavening function of some baking ingredients, its power extends far beyond the kitchen. Many are surprised upon learning how much vinegar can do. A sour-tasting liquid that contains acetic acid, vinegar can be used as a cleaning product and an influential ingredient in many recipes. Vinegar also is relatively inexpensive, making it a cost-effective home staple.

Dec. 12 only possibility for school board trustee byelection A

byelection for the newly vacant Chilliwack board of education trustee seat will be held on Dec. 12, according to district staff. An election for the position—left empty after long-time trustee Martha Wiens’ death two weeks ago—needed to take place between the dates Dec. 12 and Jan. 16 due to timing factors under the school act, according to SD33 secretary treasurer Gerry Slykhuis. A motion was passed Tuesday night at the Chilliwack board of education meeting that solidified the Dec. 12 date as the only possibility for the byelection. The tentative timeline in

the proposal accepted by the board sees the nomination period from Oct. 27 at 9 a.m. to Nov. 6 at 4 p.m. After that, candidates will be declared Nov. 16 at 4 p.m. Advanced voting days will take place on Dec. 2 and 9, and the general voting day will follow on Dec. 12. The board has 30 days after the vacancy to advise city council, which then in turn has 30 days to appoint a chief electoral officer. After that appointment, the byelection must take place on a Saturday sometime over the next 80 days, but Christmas and New Year’s fall within that period which further complicated planning.

considered thinking; our hearts beat with both humility and pride (because that’s the Canadian way eh?). This is an important time of decision. Let’s not allow our thoughts and our discussions to be drowned out by political dogma edged with racism and hate. And fear mongering. Let’s come together, not be divided. Let’s keep calm, and campaign on. Wayne Froese Chilliwack

Abattoir loss wasn’t right Editor: So sad to see this abattoir project stalled. So sad to see Chilliwack OCP, not have the ability to stand with council. Let’s consider Chilliwack’s OCP, with respect to the floor of the Fraser Valley. The land in question is zoned to be used for agriculture usage. Hello to all the people who have moved here from another community. The real estate reps, could help sever the community, with respect to land that may be zoned for agricultural use. Item worth consideration, may be that prospective buyers be given a disclosure statement that subject property may be within 500 metres from agriculture land. Not sure why there is reluctance on this item. Let’s look at the facts, Chilliwack is an agricultural community, said property is zoned agriculture. With respect to smell, let’s take a quick drive alone Yale Road where there is a plant that produces roofing material, take a deep breath and smell the hydrocarbons, and view

So the election will be held soon after a threemonth federal election campaign and right before the holidays. Slykhuis earlier said a

later date would have been preferred. “I suspect the electorate, the last thing they want to see are campaign signs,” said. “And right before

Christmas as well, that’s the last thing on anybody’s mind.” In November of 2013 Chilliwack school board trustee Dan Coulter earned 520 of the 1,453

ballots cast during the last byelection to win a position left by departing trustee Louise Piper. That process cost the board $44,000, though Slykhu-

is guessed the upcoming contest will be cheaper. ◗ A public service for Martha Wiens will be held at Alliance Church on Young Road Oct. 22 at 4 p.m.

the particulates being pumped into the air. It all depends on whose nose is doing the sniffing. Very subjective item. Further to comment from a Kamloops resident, I’m thinking your going to shut down the pulp mill in Kamloops, or that does not smell to you? Let’s quickly review this project, city council can not follow through on the OCP, council has not allowed a free discussion, city council has its tail between its legs for fear of the public forum. City council does not consider a 500-metre zone for notice of agriculture land. Loss of jobs in Chilliwack, loss of taxes, so sad. Fred Petersen Chilliwack

The personal connection of these concerts characterizes Hagen’s approach to performing, and after curating two previous Classical Music Series at The Centre, the much-acclaimed pianist is thrilled to make her way back to Chilliwack. “Chilliwack is full of amazing people and I feel honoured to get to know the audience through music,” she says. “The closeness of the shows at The Centre is always amazing—and I love the warmth of the audience and having the chance to share a cup of coffee before each concert.” And, although Hagen’s unbelievably long list of accolades includes winning the BC Touring Council’s 2015 Touring Artist of the Year Award (“I was so truly surprised to win!”) after demonstrating her prowess in concert halls the world over, there’s one thing that this Vancouver-based virtuoso truly loves. “There’s no place like home.” Sarah proclaims. “I love being on the road, but I also cherish the folks I meet on the west coast. I’m so grateful for the way people in B.C. celebrate a sense of community— that truly does form a large part of why these morning concerts are so special.” This wonderful base of community and connectivity provides the perfect setting for Hagen and her guest Wenham’s true talents to emerge—and the

unbelievable abilities of these astounding musicians are sure to fill the Rotary Hall Studio Theatre with compelling atmosphere and stirring sounds—and perhaps a few surprises. “Sarah and I have been playing together for a number of years” Wenham reveals, “and it is very natural for us to perform together. We don’t tend to spend much time in discussion—we can generally intuit what the other is doing which allows us to be free and expressive. You could say we share a musical sensibility.” And it isn’t just Hagen and Wenham that share a bond—the partnership of their instruments also ensures this concert will be an enthralling experience. “The piano and cello have such a wide collective range of possibilities when it comes to musical colour and timbre,” Wenham continues. “Which makes their combination so endlessly interesting. It gives both performers and composers the chance to play around, allowing one instrument to emerge at a time, or teasing the ear by weaving both instruments in and out interchangeably.” Concluding by reflecting the comments of her friend and special guest, Hagen summarizes the extraordinary atmosphere that this concert will offer. “Rebecca and I love playing together and have a great deal of expressive freedom with each other. We create a kind of shared emotional experience, a tapestry of feelings and experiences drawn from the audience. Rebecca is a world-class musician and I’m always incredibly inspired when I play with her. It’s such an honour for me.” ◗ To witness the remarkable outcome of when two musicians of such incredible calibre connect with one another join The Centre in welcoming Hagen and Wenham to Chilliwack Oct. 16 at 10:30 a.m. Tickets are $27 for adults, $24 for seniors, and $22 for students, and are available at The Centre Box Office, visit www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca or call 604-391-SHOW(7469) for more information.

New Mills CD features host of hidden gems

t was the song that changed everything for Frank Mills. “Music Box Dancer” catapulted Mills onto the international stage. The unprecedented success of that song allowed Mills to compose all that came after it, and recently Mills released a collection of 13 of his most requested songs, gathered onto one CD. This November he heads out on the road, to celebrate in concert the music that came “After the Dancer.” The tour is on sale now, and hits the Chilliwack Cultural Centre Nov. 10 at 7 p.m. A number of months ago, Mills took delivery of 77 missing (and discovered in a warehouse), multi-track recordings —an entire pick up truck stacked with tapes of every composition he had recorded over his career. They were either his, or they were on their way to the dump. As he started going through his life’s work, he

realized that tucked away on the various albums were gems that had been eclipsed by the strength of “Music Box Dancer.” “Though it may be that ‘Music Box Dancer’ will be my epitaph,” noted Mills. “The songs that are dearest to me are the ones that I would like to be remembered for. They are the 13 now very special songs that came one by one, ‘After the Dancer.’” The performances were arranged and voiced by Jim Pirie and Eric Robertson and the album was assembled by Mills’ long-time producer, Hayward Parrot, one of North America’s finest recording engineers. ◗ Join Frank Mills for an evening of music “After the Dancer” Nov. 10 at the Hub International Theatre at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre starting at 7 p.m. Visit the Centre Box Office at www. chilliwackculturalcentre. mytheatre.ca for ticket information.

Eclectic, Inspirational, and Unforgettable

Mixed Bag will take you on a journey of discovery and delight. Whether you’re in search of a night of thought-provoking entertainment, a visually stunning journey through time and space, or an emotive reflection on the role of humanity in modern society, the eclectic, exhilarating, and amazingly evocative Mixed Bag is sure to hit the spot! Brought to Chilliwack Cultural Centre by Rainbow Dance Theatre on October 23, 2015, this mixed repertory dance presentation highlights some of the most profound questions to ever have captured our imaginations – and tackles them with an inspirational combination of technology, physical expression, and an incredibly imaginative use of the most unexpected recycling! Make sure to join in the adventure by buying a ticket today! There could be perhaps no grander inspiration than the origins of the universe – yet with the first of the three ingenious choreographies that make up the show, Rainbow Dance Theatre tackles the topic with an awareness that fills the piece with inspirational poignancy, as Company Director Valerie Bergman reveals. “The first piece being presented is named Higgs Boson, and is an artistic reflection on the initial creative spark that began it all. It artistically plays with the strange balance within us of physical abstraction (how we are each just a collection of atomic particles which are constantly interchanging with all else in our environment) and personal construct (that which we call the self), and how each element, the abstract and the personal, are no less real because of the other.” Taking the next natural step in their ingenious retelling of the origins of the universe, RDT reflects the inspirational subject matter of life’s development on earth in their pioneering approach to their own art form. “The next piece, Big Bang, is a lovely and whimsical treatment of the evolution of life on earth” Valerie goes on. “It begins in a mysterious dark sea where the simplest of life forms emerge, continuing on through a procession of ever

more complex life forms which are created by the dancers through RDT’s signature partnering style where two, three and even four dancers merge to form creatures inhabiting the evolving landscape of life forms.”

garbage bag) in the same way again! Mixed Bag is generously sponsored by The Chilliwack Coast Hotel, The Chilliwack Times, The City of Chilliwack, and The Department of Canadian Heritage.

All of this builds towards the spectacular climax in this mixed repertory show, with the choreography from which the show takes its name, Mixed Bag, presenting RBT’s compelling creativity and innovative resourcefulness. Fusing the show’s narrative-based storytelling with engaging environmental awareness, the evocative finale utilizes garbage bags, plastic bottles, and other items our society carelessly throws away to create a thought-provoking centre-piece to the show, that combines crucial questions of our time with captivating visual aesthetics. “The work ends with an explosive final section set in an over-populated city of today” concludes Valerie. “Mixed Bag continues humanity’s journey with a humorous yet poignant look at today’s global community irreparably altered by the developed world’s “disposable” society - a way of life which must be transformed if we are to sustain life as we know it on our planet earth.” Doing some transforming of their own by turning recycling into an awe-inspiring array of animals, characters, costumes, landscapes and stage sets, RDT truly bring the essence of Mixed Bag to life - with the contents of garbage bags taking form in unbelievable, expressive, and truly unforgettable ways. So for a show that confronts some of our most pressing questions with an inspirational combination awe, discovery, energy, and vitality make sure to call The Centre Box Office today and book your tickets for Mixed Bag, coming to Chilliwack on October 23, 2015! You’ll never gaze up at the stars (or look at a

There’s no better way to launch the fall season than to get involved in a charity event that involves delicious soup and a one-of-a-kind handmade bowl you get to take home. And for only $20 to participate, these bowls can also serve to enhance your fall culinary decor. The uniqueness of each bowl is a result of the talented work of the local potters and celebrities glazing styles. The Arts Council has once again partnered with The Chilliwack Bowls of Hope Society. “Last year’s event was a great success and we are thankful to work with the Bowls of Hope Society again this year,” said Arts Council executive director Patti Lawn. “It was fun to also see local personalities work at glazing the pottery. I feel they have gained a new appreciation to what it takes to be a potter. They had fun as a group.” Freshly made soup will be provided by Chilliwack Bowls of Hope Society. To further enhance the ambiance and enrich the experience, there will be music, a silent auction and Greendale Herb and Vine will provide a harvest market. ◗ The Pottery Bowl Fundraiser will take place on Oct. 17 at the Art Room, 20-5725 Vedder Rd., from 1 to

Force of Nature Meets Country Fingerpickin’! The Astounding Chase Padgett Returns to The Centre with Nashville Hurricane

ave you been hankering for a night of straight up, high-octane entertainment, packed fingerpickin’ fury and bourbon-soaked southern hilarity? Then all y’all better get out your diaries, ‘cause the unbelievable, the unstoppable, and the ‘till-nowuntold story of the Nashville Hurricane will be revealed The Chilliwack Cultural Centre on October 22, 25 & 26, 2015! Book your tickets today to catch a whirlwind of comedy and musical mayhem! Hot on the heels of his unforgettable appearances at The Centre last season with his hit show 6 Guitars, Chase Padgett will be making a triumphant return to Chilliwack with a show that promises more character-based escapades, incredible acting versatility, and simply astounding guitar playing than ever before. “I wanted to take the same elements that were successful with 6 Guitars and use them to tell a single story from start to finish” Chase says of the show’s creative origins. “Second, I was really into Tommy Emmanuel, an incredible acoustic guitarist who sounds like a one man orchestra - his music feels like a force of nature. So combine force of nature with country finger picking and you get “Nashville Hurricane!” The beauty of Chase’s shows don’t just lie in his ability to transform in the blink of an eye into whole new characters, complete with personalities, backstories, and quirks, or in his genuinely awe-inspiring guitar-playing abilities – but in how he weaves profound

reasons to see Nashville Hurricane just keep racking up – but if nothing else, seeing one man take on one of the most furiously fiddlin’, tongue-twistin’ hickory-smoked songs in history will be something you’ll never forget! “My favorite thing about the show is the storytelling” Chase concludes. “Each character starts in different places as the story begins but they all end up in the same place by the end. Also, while the show only features four songs, they are harder than anything I do in 6 Guitars. Trust me - it’s no easy feat to pull off The Devil Went Down to Georgia by myself!”

And, adding another layer of evocative musicality will be the sensational Murray McLauchlan, whose Juno-award winning career has led him to become a true Canadian icon of acoustic folk. The month will come to a close with a pair of awe-inspiring shows, with our Kids’ Series starting up with the astounding aerial artistry of The Circus of Oz. Brought to Chilliwack by CircusWest, this show will retell the classic tale of Dorothy and Toto—yet with amazing acrobatics and circus hijinks thrown in to give the story a whole new twist. Finally, Canada’s very own world-class magician Shawn Farquhar will open his Cabaret of Wonders on the cusp of Halloween, beginning a magical journey that will continue with three more cabaret-style shows in the intimate setting of the Rotary Hall Studio Theatre throughout the season. And of course The Centre’s Arts & Crafts classes are also ready and waiting to give you the opportunity to take your artistic autumn in your own creative direction, with an enormous variety of pottery, painting, drawing, jewellery-making, kids’ classes and more sure to be filling our facility with aspiring artists this month.

As always, for more information on our shows and classes, give The Centre Box Office a shout at 604-391-SHOW (7469) and our friendly staff would be more than happy to give you a hand with tickets or other details. You can also visit us online at www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca. The Chilliwack Cultural Centre—where art comes to life. ◗ Rich Taylor is the Marketing Assistant at Chilliwack Cultural Centre.

’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers,” said L.M. Montgomery in Anne of Green Gables—and there could perhaps be no better (or more appropriately theatrical) way to capture how the arts and autumn come together at The Centre this month. The shows are in full swing; The Centre’s Arts & Crafts programming has truly kicked into action—and with us celebrating our fifth anniversary with a fantastic day of arts and entertainment last weekend, each day at The Centre has been as vibrant and captivating as the autumn leaves outside. The rest of the month is set to be just as thrilling, so read on for your guide for your very own artistic October. On Oct. 9 The Centre will be taken over by an array of comics our patrons are sure to recognize . . . yet this season the Leave it to Cleavage gals have swapped the 50s housewife wigs and satin party dresses for something far more revealing—the hidden world of the ‘sleepy’ suburbs. With their brand new show Sex & the Suburbs, these funny females reveal the true story behind the myth of neighbourhood bliss, with an arsenal of improv gags, sketches, and knock-out comedy chops that are sure to have you howling with laughter. The following Friday, another of The Centre’s favourites will make her return to Chilliwack, with acclaimed pianist Sarah Hagen’s 2015/16 Classical Music Series beginning with an inspirational morning concert alongside star cellist Rebecca Wenham. Completed by delicious complimentary refreshments, a duet with these two musicians will be nothing short of extraordinary, and is the perfect way to start your day. Next up will be the ultimate combination of comedy, music, and extraordinary storytelling courtesy of the incredible Chase Padgett. Chase’s new show Nashville Hurricane has been the talk of both the Vancouver and Edmonton Fringe Festivals this year, and with this curious tale of fingerpickin’ fury coming to The Centre for three shows, Chilliwack is getting in on the world-class comedy action. And reflecting The Centre’s diverse range

OBITUARIES

COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS

MUSSELL, Shawn Liane

(February 1, 1971 – September 26, 2015) It is with the deepest sorrow we announce the passing of a wonderful sister, daughter, aunt and friend. Shawn is survived by and will be forever remembered and cherished by her grandfather Helmer Stromquist, mother Sonja, brother Helmer (Deb), sister Noreen (Alphonso), nieces Jassett, Avery and Maya, and nephew Phoenix. Family meant the world to Shawn. That included her horse, Doc, her afghan hound Shylo and her yorkie of 19 years, Cody Bleu. Daughter of Henry Richard (Dick) Mussell (deceased) and Sonja Mussell, Shawn grew up in Rosedale in her country home. During her childhood Shawn enjoyed riding horses, especially her own horse, Doc Hobby. She also loved listening to music. Shawn had a special bond with her grandma, Noreen Stromquist (deceased), as she guided and loved Shawn through difficult times in her life. Shawn lived in Vancouver for several years after graduating from high school. She then moved to Los Angeles and visited many destinations in the world before moving back to the Vancouver area. Her last years were spent in New Westminster with her special someone Ron Fogal whom she loved very much. She also had special friend in Jerry Bain. Shawn loved the big city life and was a part of the Hollywood social scene before moving back to Canada. She modeled professionally and was seen in many publications. Shawn had a spiritual connection to her aboriginal roots. She was the founder of the Native Elders Video Library Archives; an organization that preserved the stories, knowledge and history of aboriginal elders. In spite of adversity, Shawn earned a diploma in Business Administration after her return to Canada. May Shawn’s spirit be free and at peace as she is reunited with her loved ones in heaven. 7236853

Greg Laychak/TIMES

Jen O’Gorman was one of our lucky winners of an iPad in the 20th annual Chilliwack Readers Choice Awards contest.

Has it really been 20 years? Well, according to our archive, this marks the 20th edition of the annual Readers Choice Awards. We’ve always been amazed with the discussions these choices generate—arguments about the best place to get this or that item, favourite places to eat and shop or why somebody doesn’t know what they’re talking about! We all love to voice our opinion on the thing nearest and dearest to our heart—where we spend our money. We also like to demonstrate to others our intelligence and good taste by recommending our favourites and hoping they think like we do. The highly subjective nature of this endeavour is evident by the myriad choices voted on by our readers. There were many close categories which means there are a lot of businesses doing good things out there. We hope you enjoy this section and we welcome your feedback. Congratulations to our iPad winners Jen O’Gorman and Karen Janco and to our $100 Greek Islands gift certificate winners T. Schneider, Wayde Currie, Leisha Kerr, Jim Kraemer and Kathy Van Muyer.
