Haz waste recycling plant focus of forum

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com .C. Rivers Day founder Mark Angelo will be in Chilliwack Saturday as the featured speaker at a public forum to discuss a controversial hazardous waste recycling facility slated for a property near the Fraser River. Grand Chief Clarence Pennier of the Sto:lo Tribal Council and Rod Clapton from the B.C. Federation of Drift Fishers are also scheduled to speak at the event at Evergreen Hall. Representatives from 11 environmental, First Nations and sports fishery organizations gathered on the exposed sandbars of the Fraser River on Dec. 17 to express opposition to the plant, which will recycle, among Mark Angelo will o t h e r t h i n g s , be attending Sat- 5,000 litres of transformer oil urday’s forum at containing PCBs Evergreen Hall. and 500,000 lamps containing mercury every month. “The forum will allow concerned residents of Chilliwack and the larger Fraser River watershed to learn facts about the proposal, concerns and next steps to ensure a safe environment for all,” a press release issued by Watershed Watch Salmon Society stated. Chilliwack city council unanimously gave second and third reading on Dec. 3 for the rezoning of the Cannor Road property on the Cattermole Lands to allow for the Aevitas plant. The vote came after a public hearing that a number of critics said was not suitable consultation. The See FORUM, Page 3

Eye spy a conflict

Teen’s botched extortion ends with weekend jail time

BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

Politicians and pundits continue to pressure Strahl connection to CSIS. Three days before Strahl registered in B.C. to lobby for Enbridge, he registered in Alberta to lobby on behalf of Frog Lake Energy Resource Corp., a First Nations energy company with oil wells on its land run by a Chinese-owned company, Windtalker. In a September 2013 paper published by CSIS entitled “The Security Dimensions of an Influential China,” the spy agency explored China’s international push for resources. CSIS has even investigated links between Chinese investment and First Nations, according to a report this week on APTN [Aboriginal Peoples Television Network] National News. Vancouver lawyer Merle Alexander told APTN that he was approached by CSIS agents in 2010 and 2011 to see if First Nations were being manipulated by the Chinese. See STRAHL, Page 4

llegations of conflict of interest are piling up against retired Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Chuck Strahl due to his lobbying efforts for two oil companies while serving as head of Canada’s spy agency watchdog. NDP leader Tom Mulcair isn’t the only one who has said Strahl needs to either quit lobbying for Enbridge Northern Gateway or step down as head of the non-partisan Security Intelligence Review Committee (SIRC), the body that oversees the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS). Political pundits, including Maclean’s politics editor Paul Wells, CTV News Ottawa bureau chief Robert Fife and the editorial board of the Toronto Star said this week that Strahl needs to pick one or the other. Even SIRC’s former chair Paule Gauthier has said Strahl’s actions

“How the Conservatives believe that spying on Canadians who oppose bad pipelines is OK. Then having the chair of the ‘watchdog’ for that same spy agency can lobby for that same bad pipeline company. Brutal.”

NDP house leader Nathan Cullen on Facebook could create the perception of a conflict. The accusations of a conflict come because CSIS has spied on anti-oilsands activists and co-ordinated with the National Energy Board and oil companies. But Enbridge isn’t the only client of Chuck Strahl Consulting with a

Chilliwack teenager who tried to extort almost $1 million from his landlord will spend the next 10 weekends in jail. William Chancey McKay was 18 years old last June when he hatched a plan to get money from his landlord, 70-year-old Mohammed Anwar, by terrorizing him with threatening letters and text messages. McKay pleaded guilty to extortion in relation to the plot on Sept. 17, and on Friday he was handed a 33-day intermittent jail sentence and six months probation by Provincial Court Judge Gary Cohen. Defence lawyer Gurpreet Gill said the ill-conceived plan and resulting criminal record would leave McKay with “shackles around his ankles” at a very early age. But Cohen said the teenager was fortunate not to be facing a stiffer sentence. “It’s one of those crimes for which you could have been sentenced to life in jail,” Cohen said to McKay. “It’s one of the most serious crimes on our books.” McKay’s plot came to the attention of Chilliwack RCMP on July 2 when Anwar, who owns several rental properties in Chilliwack, brought police an anonymous letter one of his tenants had passed on to him. The letter was handwritten and burnt around the edges. McKay later told police he had worn latex rubber gloves and written

Police talk man out of shooting himself

Several homes in the 45000 block of South Sumas Road were evacuated last weekend while police talked an intoxicated man out of shooting himself. Chilliwack RCMP received a complaint about the man at around 8 p.m. Saturday. Several surrounding homes were evacuated, and police eventually convinced the occupant, a 30-yearold Chilliwack man, to surrender without incident. After taking the man into custody, police executed a search warrant on his residence and seized one handgun, one shotgun, several nonfunctioning firearms and a small improvised explosive device, which police believed to be quite old. The man was released from custody and will appear in provincial court on April 1.

Cops use GPS to track down stolen pickup

A 25-year-old Chilliwack woman charged in the theft of a pickup truck in Kamloops had to be tracked by a police dog and chased down by a police officer before being arrested in Vernon with another 34-year-old Hope-area man Sunday. Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP were alerted at around 7 a.m. that a white Ford F250 stolen in Kamloops might be headed their way. They used the pickup’s GPS (Global Positioning System) to track the vehicle down Highway 97. After entering Vernon city limits, the truck swerved into an unmarked police car and hit a tree. The male driver gave up without incident after a police service dog team closed in on him. The Chilliwack woman had to be chased down by an officer after attempting to flee the scene.

Red Nose provides 696 safe holiday rides FORUM, from page 1 city did, however, follow the requirements of the local government act regarding consultation, including newspaper ads that ran in the Times on Nov. 21 and 26 and signage posted on site. Newly elected Cheam band councillor Ernie Crey, representing the Sto:lo Tribal Council, spoke at the public hearing and asked council to defer a decision giving First Nations

The roads, streets and highways of Chilliwack were once again made safe this holiday season thanks to local Operation Red Nose volunteers, who provided 696 potential impaired drivers with a safe, alternative way to get home. From Nov. 30 to Dec. 31, a total of 414 volunteer shifts were accumulated by 106 volunteer teams who travelled 15,582 kilometres and raised $11,647.91 in donations for youth programs in Chilliwack. Operation Red Nose was once again co-ordinated by the Sardis Kiwanis Club.

Rezoning for plant awaits fourth reading time to respond. Gaetz met Crey’s request with an accusation that the Cheam band is operating a “toxic” landfill. She later said on Facebook that anyone critical of the hazardous waste facility’s location should focus instead on the Cheam dump. “I would encourage [Sheila Muxlow of the WaterWealth Project] to work with Cheam band to clean up their toxic landfill which is on the edge of the Fraser river,” Gaetz wrote. “This is far more dangerous to our waters than a recycling operation.” The rezoning for the recycling plant currently awaits fourth reading by council and approval by the Ministry of Environment. City hall says emergency planning

measures will be put in place to ensure all hazardous waste is taken off site in the event of a flood threat. “As well . . . the building will be sited in a dyked area above the 1-in-200 year floodplain mark and will be built even higher than flood plain construction requirements.” ◗ The public forum on Jan. 18 is set for 2 p.m. at Evergreen Hall.

STRAHL, from page 1

“CSIS is looking at the relationship between First Nations and China for potential undo influences, (Strahl) works for a First Nations owned company that has relationships with China and he also has a role on an investigative body,” Alexander told APTN. “Anyone can draw on those three things, you should be able to publicly answer to it.” Strahl told APTN that he knows nothing about Windtalker, he never discussed it with Frog Lake Energy and he hasn’t come across the company in his role at SIRC. Strahl told the Times last week that he has checked with the ethics commissioner with regards to lobbying for Enbridge and she confirmed “that in all ways, I have adhered to the letter and intent of the Act(s).” Nathan Cullen, NDP house leader and MP for Skeena-Bulkley Valley, issued a statement that said Strahl’s actions undermine the pipeline approval process. “How the Conservatives believe that spying on Canadians who oppose bad pipelines is OK,” Cullen said on his Facebook page this week. “Then having the chair of the ‘watchdog’ for that same spy agency can lobby for that same bad pipeline company. Brutal.” A handful of people gathered last Thursday in front of Chilliwack-Fra-

Commissioner says he’s clean ser Canyon MP Mark Strahl’s Vedder Road constituency office to protest the latest controversy. The protest was led by Agassiz resident David Hersanko who later went into the office to present Mark Strahl with a letter urging him to protest his father’s actions with Enbridge and SIRC. “The consequences of this conflict of interest are insurmountable and threatening to any person or corporation or organization,” the letter said, in part. A number of those who attended Strahl’s office last Thursday, however, took the opportunity to protest other matters. In addition to signs that accused Chuck Strahl of a conflict of interest, Glen Thompson had a sign that said “Because our Veterans Matter.” Wendy Major had a sign referencing the story of cancer survivor Bev MacGregor and her fight for employment insurance: “Restore EI Medical Benefits.” And former NDP MLA Gwen O’Mahony brought a sign that said “Stop the Silence of the Labs,” referencing a Fifth Estate story on the Conservative government’s funding cuts for scientists.

Cowardly act of violence

ourteen-year-old Ryan Clayton didn’t know what hit him Monday evening as he walked along Garrison Boulevard with his 15-yearold brother Riley. The young Chilliwack Giant football players were on their way to the Cheam Centre for an off-season workout, cutting through Garrison Crossing from their Sardis home as they always do. Ryan was hit so hard by a rock between his left eye and his eyebrow that it hit bone, tore muscle and opened up a massive gash. Ryan’s mother Desiree says she and her family don’t think anyone throwing a rock could have done so much damage. They think the rock was propelled by a slingshot. The shock and speed of the incident was such that the boys didn’t get a good look at the vehicle involved, but Riley did describe a four-door brown Volvo leaving the scene. “The impact of the hit was so painful, it hit right on his bone, that he covered up with his hands,” Desiree Clayton told the Times. “His brother didn’t know what happened. It happened so fast that he just took out his

Chilliwack RCMP are looking for information after 14-year-old Ryan Clayton was struck by a rock from a moving vehicle on Garrison Boulevard Monday at approximately 6:30 p.m. phone and called 9-1-1.” A passerby helped until police and paramedics arrived. After four hours at the hospital, doctors stitched two layers of muscle and then closed Ryan’s wound with nine stitches. Chilliwack RCMP have connected Ryan’s injury to five other rock throw-

ing incidents in the area, two around that same time, 6:30 p.m. on Jan. 13. The second incident occurred shortly after Ryan was hit when a rock broke two panes of glass in the living room window of a home in the 45000 block of Watson Road. The third incident occurred 10 minutes later when a business in the 5700 block of Vedder Road had a window broken by a rock causing $1,200 in damages. Police are asking for help from the public with any information regarding the suspect vehicle. “We are taking these incidents very seriously,” said RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Len vanNieuwenhuizen. “Throwing rocks, or any other items from vehicles, is potentially very dangerous and has caused harm to an innocent victim. This is a very serious issue.” VanNieuwenhuizen said three other mischief incidents in the last several weeks on the south side of Chilliwack are believed to be related to Monday’s incidents.

◗ Anyone having info on these incidents is asked to contact the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or, if you wish to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Bottle ‘angels’ retire

BY SHARRON HO Chilliwack Times

ALL IN-STOCK

F

ive years ago, when Linda Marshall saw two elderly women rummaging through her garbage for bottles, she immediately felt compelled to help. Marshall and her partner, Kelley Dover, began to set their recyclables aside for the women who never failed to return every collection day, whether there was rain, snow or ice. Travelling on foot with bags in hand, the two women, named Marie and Betty, would walk throughout Marshall’s McCaffrey neighbourhood picking up whatever bottles they could to be returned for cash. “I just thought they were little old ladies that needed a little bit extra income . . . that’s what I thought,” Marshall said. But she soon learned Marie and Betty were not braving the dreary west coast weather for themselves—they were doing it for sick children at the B.C. Children’s Hospital. “ It w a s a l w ay s a ro u n d Christmas. We would get a thank you card, thanking us for the bottle donations, and that was basically it, and how much they would donate. It was always around $800,” she said. Their work warmed the hearts of other McCaffrey residents, who would also keep a lookout for the altruistic pair as they made their weekly pickup rounds. “ They were amazed as well of what they had accomplished,” Marshall said. This year, however, the thank you card contained different tidings. In it, the pair thanked Marshall and Drover for their thoughtful contributions, but also announced that they would be retiring at the age of 84. Over the years, Marie and Betty raised $5,489, one bottle at a time. Although Marshall has never spoken to Marie or Betty, she wishes the two “angels” a happy retirement and said that they will be missed. “I just thought it was an amazing feat that they were doing it. It was incredible,” she said. “I just think they’re amazing.”

BC’S EYEWEAR HEADQUARTERS

EXTORTION, from page 1

Demanded $925,000 Upon his arrest July 12, McKay initially denied any involvement in the crime but then made a statement telling police where they could find the cellphone and other items related to the extortion attempt, including the gloves and Saran Wrap. McKay, a Chilliwack secondary school grad who is now 19, had no criminal record and no history of getting into trouble before hatching his extortion scheme. Blessin, in recommending a nine-month jail sentence, said the teenager didn’t seem to be in need of rehabilitation but that others should be warned against taking up similar schemes. “This is not a person that I think we’ll likely ever see again in criminal court,” Blessin said. “This is primarily about general deterrence. If people think that getting easy money is as simple as getting a cheap phone and sending some threatening messages, it needs to be said loud and clear this sort of behaviour is unacceptable and will be treated pretty severely by the courts.” McKay’s lawyer, however, recommended a 30-day sentence, saying the teen had already been sufficiently traumatized by his 12 days in jail before securing bail. Gill described her client as a “nice young man,” whose crime was totally out of character to those who know him. “This was really just a kid who’d seen too many movies,” she said. Before apologizing for his misdeeds and hearing his sentence, McKay told the court he came up with the extortion plot while his relationship with his girlfriend was falling apart and just after he had found out the alcoholic and abusive man he’d grown up with for 18 years was not his real father. “This all happened because my life took a really bad turn,” he said. While most sentences for extortion, which carries a maximum penalty of life in prison, are much longer than McKay’s, Judge Cohen said most extortion cases also involve a lot more physical violence, like beatings and kidnapping, related to organized crime. “Fortunately in this case the violence was more notional than real,” he said.

the notes on a table covered in Saran Wrap to avoid leaving fingerprints or DNA evidence. He had then burnt the edges to make sure no fingerprints remained. Over a span of about two weeks McKay sent two handwritten letters and about 20 text messages, demanding sums between $925,000 and $400,000 and threatening Anwar’s family and tenants if the landlord didn’t pay up or if he went to police. “Make your family happy or lose them,” one text message stated. In his letters, McKay indicated he knew personal information about Anwar, like that he lived on Gore Street, that his family was from Surrey and that his elderly father was in hospital in that city. The first letter left Anwar shaken, and he and his wife were relocated to a safe house by police. “He was particularly concerned about the threats to his father, who at that point was 94 years of age and not in good health,” Crown counsel Paul Blessin said. After police began monitoring the threatening messages coming to Anwar’s cellphone, they intercepted one telling him to drop the money off at the Yale Road 7-11 store at noon on July 8. When police asked 7-11 staff whether they had noticed anything unusual at that time, they were told a customer had used a $100 bill to pay for a $50 prepaid cellphone card. Surveillance video revealed that customer to be McKay, and the phone card’s PIN was eventually traced to the cellphone used to send the threatening texts. In the course of their interviews with Anwar’s tenants, police also encountered McKay himself, who was living in one of the landlord’s apartments on Hazel Street. Investigators noticed their interviewee was wearing some of the same clothes seen on the 7-11 surveillance video. They also noticed a box of latex rubber gloves in his apartment. McKay later said the police interview had thrown him into a panic and that he had thrown the gloves and Saran Wrap into the garbage outside of the apartment building after they left.

Get moving and beat the blues F ollowing all the joy and cheer of the holidays, January can be one of the darkest months. In fact, Jan. 6, to be exact, is widely considered to be the most depressing day of the year. And it’s not hard to see why. Many of us were just back to a full work week. We got up in the dark, left the comfort of our warm home to head to work in the dark, with outdoor conditions chilly and rainy as is normal for this time of year in the Fraser Valley. Along with all the rain and cold, there’s not much to look forward to for many of us in January—no holiday until Family Day (which is relatively new to us British Columbians). Being winter, we also don’t get enough vitamin D (something Canadians lack between October and May, when the sunshine doesn’t come out too often). But there is a lot us in Chilliwack can take advantage of to keep our spirits high. Getting active is one of the easiest ways to boost your mood, and energy. If you need ideas, check out our Health Wise section in today’s paper, starting on page A 15. The options around here are endless, whether it’s winter, summer, spring or fall. Take a splash in the pool at either rec centre, hit the myriad of local trail options (be sure to dress appropriately for the weather and be cognizant of your footing on steeper inclines), or lace up your skates during public skate times at the local rinks. Starting a walk/run program with an end goal to participate in one of the Lower Mainland’s many organized events (the Run for Water event held May 25 in Abbotsford is perfect for all levels). Or perhaps your brain is feeling a little fuzzy following the holidays. If so, the University of the Fraser Valley offers a number of courses to keep you educated. There are also a number of classes, whether you’re into cooking, belly dancing or pottery, through the cultural centre or arts council. The best way to beat the winter blues is to get active, whether physically or mentally, so be pro-active and go for it.

Dropping the gloves on fighting ears from now—10, 20 or more—parents will tell stories to their children about an anachronistic time when fighting, while penalized, was tolerated in ice hockey. “No! Dad, you’re crazy,” the kids of 2034 will say. “How could they allow fighting?” Good question, future kid. “The noose is tightening on fighting,” Chilliwack Chiefs president Glen Ringdal told me during a mid-season interview. “You won’t see it disappear in the near future, you’ll just see the consequences be tougher and tougher and so a coach will say, ‘Don’t get in a fight. I can’t afford to lose you.’ “Fighting is not a good resolution to disputes in normal life. I know lots of people argue this is a part of the game. It’s only part of the game because we made it part of the game.” Interesting words from a hockey boss among hockey bosses who mostly defend fighting. Those who support fighting always say it’s “part of the game and always has been.” Which is a little like a man arguing in 1918 that women shouldn’t have the vote because it’s always been that way. National Hockey League commissioner Gary Bettman says that fighting is a “thermostat” for the game. That’s the consensus of general managers in the league, he says. Thermostat is a weird metaphor for what Bettman and the GMs are talking about. A thermostat simply takes the temperature with no judgment. How about release valve? But

How it is that another rulebook infraction, i.e. fighting, can serve as a thermostat or a pressure valve is a mystery to me. If fighting were eliminated and slashing and high sticking became a problem, would we not just see more slashing and high-sticking penalties called, thereby stemming that problem leading to players getting back to the game of getting the puck in the net? Imagine if baseball GMs said the league needs fighting or too many players will slide into second base with their cleats up. Maybe football general managers would argue that if you don’t allow players to take off their helmets and trade blows, then there will be no end to pass interference. What if in basketball there was legitimate concern that if toe-to-toe blow exchanges weren’t allowed on court then players would, what, foul themselves out of the game faster? The point of the game of hockey is to get the puck in the net more times than the other team. Wayne Gretzky

taught me that. I will, however, admit that I kind of love to see a good fight. I certainly do not avert my eyes and I may elicit the standard male “oohhhhh!” when a fist makes contact with a face. I don’t know why. But as with bacon, I’m well aware that everything I like isn’t good for me. There is an argument to be made that given the testosterone-infused nature of the sport, a fight can spur a team on when losing. But that’s an excuse, not a reason. I don’t watch a lot of hockey on TV with my children but once in a while I turn on a game and my 18-monthold boy and four-year-old girl are fascinated. (I turned football on once and after a few seconds my little girl didn’t say “turn on cartoons” she said “turn on hockey!” What a great Canadian.) But during a game that clearly— even to a four-year-old—involves five guys skating with sticks facing off against five other guys with sticks trying to get pucks in one another’s nets, how do you explain it when two of those guys drop their sticks, their gloves and start punching each other in the head? My simple answer is that they are being very naughty and they have to go for time-outs. “They have to go and say sorry after, right?” “Not a bad idea, honey.” Fighting won’t leave hockey anytime soon but make no mistake, Ringdal is right, it’s going. I’ll bet you a few rashers of bacon on that.

Editor: No one begrudges Chuck Strahl opening a lobbying business in Chilliwack. It is, after all, what retired politician’s seem to do in order to supplement their meagre pensions. The fact that there are rules applied by the ethics commissioner point to the fact that certain types of lobbying are improper. The fact that these rules are easy to bypass reflect the fact that it is the politicians themselves that made the rules. The ethics commissioner has apparently advised Mr. Strahl that he is not in violation of any rules around lobbying. While, as a former MP (and indeed cabinet minister) he is not permitted to lobby the federal government, he is apparently allowed to lobby provincial governments. His lobbying on behalf of Enbridge is tantamount to lobbying on behalf of the federal government (as the federal government is totally committed to the Enbridge project), but again not in violation of any rules. More problematic is Mr. Strahl’s role as the chair of the Security Intelligence Review Committee (SIRC) which oversees Canada’s spy agency CSIS. Paule Gauthier, a former chair of SIRC, says it is not a good idea for someone in that position to be a lobbyist. It is particularly disturbing that CSIS has been actively spying on groups opposed to Enbridge’s Northern Gateway Pipeline and as chair of SIRC, Mr. Strahl would have access to those files. We may agree that Mr. Strahl’s personal integrity would prevent him from sharing SIRC information with Enbridge, the fact that this possibility even exists presents an unacceptable conflict. Mr. Strahl should either step down from his position with SIRC or stop lobbying on behalf of Enbridge. Al Ens Chilliwack

Good reason for voter cynicism Editor: For those who study our poor participation rate in local elections, Thursday’s story in the Chilliwack Times “Strahl in lobby drama” says a great deal about cynicism, apathy, patronage appointments and the reason many of us hold our politicians in such low regard.

Too sneaky and too arrogant Editor: Janne Perrin’s and Dick Harrington’s recent letters in the Chilliwack Times should raise alarms that all citizens should be concerned about.

Editor: I am writing in response to your front page article “livable and affordable” published in the Jan 9, Chilliwack Times. As a first time homebuyer in 2009, I was pleased to find a decent home with room to spare at about 1,800 total square feet on a lot just under a quarter acre, for under $270,000. Growing up pretty much evenly between Chilliwack and Abbotsford, I have roots in both and could have just as well settled in either, but I just couldn’t stomach paying an extra $60 to $80 grand for the same thing a 20-minute drive to the west of here with higher property taxes to boot. Two of my brothers, close in age, also bought and settled in Chilliwack that same year with the same reasoning. I think that the value here is fantastic and the property taxes are reasonable.

Turn pressure into a positive ried we lived in an area that we did not know very well—which meant I would get lost. Now this is before the days of iPhones and personal GPS devices. It was the day of the giant paper car map. If you think texting and driving is dangerous, it was nothing compared to finding directions on a fold-out map. I mean that thing took up the whole windshield! Anyway, we were trying to find our way and like a lot of guys, I get stressed when I’m lost. I hate feeling out of control and that stress leads to frustration and when I’m frustrated I feel pressured. In that moment I no longer heard the sweet voice of my wife kindly telling me where I should

o you ever feel under pressure? Stupid question, right? Everyone does. If you’re human you’ll face pressure. So I guess the better question is, “how do you handle pressure?” Do you cave in under it, do you react to it or do you just go with it? You can tell a lot about a person by how they handle pressure. If you want to see how this works then just get married and then get in your car and drive to a place you have never been and don’t know how to get to. When my wife and I were first mar-

turn. Instead my mind was focused on the pressure I was feeling and I did what most men have done at some point and I snapped at her. Have you ever done that? You know it’s bad because the car get’s really quiet. What made it worse was that we had two friends sitting in the back seat. Yes—it was awkward but

my point is this, when you’re under pressure people get to see what’s inside of you. You really don’t know who you are and what you believe until pressure is applied. Most people don’t handle pressure well. It’s under pressure that we blame others, say things we regret and for some pressure causes them to shake their fist at God. But what if God actually uses pressure to work out the inconsistencies and dysfunctions of our life? What if pressure could actually be a positive thing? Like a tube of toothpaste, what if God uses pressure to push out the things in our life that he wants us to deal with.

Jesus said that “ . . . whatever is in your heart determines what you say” (Matthew 12:34). God is all about using pressure to give us clarity on what’s really inside of us so that he can heal, fix and make us whole. I don’t about you but that makes pressure something worth facing rather than running from. So, the next time pressure puts the squeeze on you, remember you can either try to handle it yourself or you can grab on to God as your handle. My hope is that you choose the latter. ◗ Shawn is a pastor at Promontory Community Church. Feel free to contact him at shawn@mypcc.ca.

Chilliwack Chiefs head coach Harvey Smyl, flanked by team president Glen Ringdal, speaks at a press conference Monday to announce reduced ticket prices for 2014-15. Smyl has made a number of trades last week in preparation for next season.

Chiefs in the mood to celebrate Well, not about this season, but they’re looking ahead to 2014-15

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

BCHL notes

With the passing of the CJHL trade deadline on Jan. 10, and each team’s roster essentially final, the playoffs for all 10 CJHL leagues loom large. In the BCHL, the Penticton Vees made some key moves and have moved up the rankings to be neck-and-neck with the Victoria Grizzlies. In the Mainland Division of the BCHL, the Langley Rivermen have quietly secured a playoff spot already.

C

hilliwack Chiefs fans will see the lowest season ticket prices in the league as part of next season’s 25th anniversary focus on fans. The team also unveiled a new logo for 2014-15 and the extension of title sponsorship for Prospera Centre. Coach Harvey Smyl joined team

president Harvey Ringdal and Prospera Credit Union vice-president of branch operations Dan Whalley for a press conference Monday at the rink to make the announcements. While the team is last in the Mainland Division, both Ringdal and Smyl insist they have not written off this season—the playoffs are a mathematical possibility—but the vision is clearly on next season as the team made a number of trades last week.

Those moves, which included trading leading scorer Austin Plevy and fifth-leading scorer Cooper Rush, “strengthen the team for the future,” Smyl told the Times Monday. Ringdal said the 25th anniversary season will focus on celebrating fans of the team.

“They, just as much as the players, coaches, owners, staff, billets, corporate sponsors and volunteers, are the people who bring life to our slogan: ‘Chiefs hockey—Chilliwack’s team,’” Ringdal said. To recognize fans, the club announced that season tickets next year for adults will be reduced from $388 to $199. Seniors can get season tickets for $189 and all child and youth prices will drop to $99. Those new prices—“by far the lowest in the league”—will be available until April 1, after which they See CHIEFS, Page 18

Yes, there’s

an app for that Mobile innovation helps promote healthy weight loss by tracking results any people struggle with diets and find it difficult to lose weight and keep the weight off. Whether it’s an extra five or 10 pounds following an indulgent holiday or a long-term battle with obesity, new technology is making it easier for Canadians to meet their weight loss goals. While there are a variety of online and mobile tools now available to help monitor and track calories, experts recommend a well rounded approach to achieve healthy weight loss. “It’s easier than you think to lose and sustain weight by incorporating good nutrition and exercise along with proper supplementation,” says personal trainer Stephanie Joanne. “A mobile app like the Bodylogix Personal Coach is simple to follow and guides you through the process with meal plans and step-by-step exercise videos to meet your personal needs, whether you are exercising at home without equipment or at the gym,”

M

Joanne explains. The app also allows the user to easily modify recipes and create shopping lists, making it both customizable and convenient. Combined with the right supplements, like the Bodylogix Jumpstart Kit, Joanne says this is a great way to begin a healthy weight loss program. She suggests that one key to successful weight loss is the ability to track your progress, which is even easier when the information is available on your smart phone. “I’ve found that motivation can often be the missing link, so having a personal trainer at your fingertips is a great way to set yourself up for success.” “Extra weight and body fat around the waistline will not only make it harder to fit into last year’s spring and summer wardrobe, but it can put you at risk for health concerns like high blood pressure or heart disease,” Joanne adds. www.newscanada.com

TEETH - IN - A - DAY Teeth-in-a-day is a revolutionary concept providing patients fully functioning teeth using dental implants in one single procedure. This technology was recently developed by Nobel Biocare and incorporates our in-of ce state-ofthe-art Cat Scan 9300 3D Imager. This ensures an extremely precise implant placement. The process starts with a CAT scan taken of the patient’s jawbone which allows for the generation of a three-dimensional model of the jawbone. This image is used in virtual reality software to plan the implant placement without the presence of the patient. Two to four weeks later your new teeth are ready for implant, which takes about an hour for each upper and lower. Teethin-a-day provides less postoperative discomfort, less swelling and bruising and less chair time for the patient at the surgery of ce.

Most patients resume their normal activities the next day.

Use coconut oil Winter-proof your skin with coconut oil by using it as a moisturizer. Simply rub a small amount of coconut oil wherever you have dry, flaky or itchy skin. It also works great as a natural lip balm, hair conditioner or make-up remover. Your skin will absorb the oil quickly, plus it smells wonderful! Shake it up and sleep it off When it comes to exercise, don’t let winter be an excuse. Develop a well-rounded fitness routine that includes cardio and strength training. Also, give yourself plenty of rest time. Restful slumber helps fight depression and eliminates extra amounts of the stress hormone cortisol. Adequate amounts of exercise and sleep should be non-negotiable in maintaining a healthy lifestyle this winter.

inter’s short days can make us feel lethargic and a little depressed; the long hours spent indoors hibernating on the couch can have a major impact on our overall well-being. To avoid the effects of old man winter, fight your hibernating instincts by embracing the season, while taking the necessary precautions to be healthy. To help you get there, the Canadian Health Food Association (CHFA) has these five tips for natural winter wellness.

Opt for healthy comfort food In winter, we crave simple carbs because they are rich in tryptophan, creating our feel-good hormones such as serotonin and dopamine to temporarily increase. These foods, which are typically refined and have little nutritional value, cause a quick increase in our blood sugar followed by a quick decrease causing us to crave more. To avoid this vicious cycle while satisfying your cravings, opt for more complex carbs including oatmeal, legumes, soups and stews.

Achieve your physical activity goals with active transportation Park the car and put on your walking shoes this month his month, ParticipACTION is encouraging Canadians to stick to their new year’s resolutions by opting for small changes that can have a huge impact. It probably comes as no surprise that physical activity-related goals are among the top 10 most common resolutions. Oftentimes, we set goals that are just too lofty. This is why more than half of Canadians break their goals by the one-month mark. One of the easiest ways for your whole family to incorporate physical activity is to switch to active transportation. Rather than driving, pick up your sneakers, blades, or bicycle to get to your destination. Doing so can significantly contribute to the daily physical activity that is required for overall health. From ParticipACTION, here are some quick tips to put active transportation into your daily

routine: • Encourage and support your children to engage in ‘active’ transportation, like walking and cycling to and from school; • Take turns leading a ‘walking school bus’ with other parents in your neighbourhood; • Instead of driving to recreational activities like hockey or dance class, factor some extra time to walk; • Park the car a short distance from school or other destinations, and walk the rest of the way when it is not possible to walk the whole way; • Rather than driving to the grocery store, why not make it a fun family activity by walking or cycling there? If kids walked for all trips less than one kilometre, they would accumulate approximately 15-20 minutes of walking per trip... and that adds up.

Reduce Belly Fat! Increase Energy!

Testosterone levels begin to diminish in men around age 30. In fact, by the time men are 60 years old, they typically produce 60% less testosterone than they did at age 20 (a man’s sexual peak). Many men over the age of 35 may already be feeling the effects of lower testosterone including:

Increased Belly Fat Low Energy

Low Libido Mood Changes

Decreased Muscle Strength Prostate Problems and more...

Rate of Testosterone Secretion in Milligrams

Unfortunately at the same time testosterone is decreasing, estrogen levels are increasing, causing further muscle loss and gain in body fat, making it extremely difficult to maintain a healthy metabolism.

“ The Joint Review Panel’s recommendation is an important step toward building a better pipeline. ”

My name is Janet Holder and I am the leader of the Northern Gateway Project. This past December, my team came one step closer towards our goal of building a better pipeline. After weighing the evidence in the most comprehensive, scientific review in Canadian pipeline history, the Joint Review Panel of the National Energy Board and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency provided its recommendation. The Panel concluded that Canada and Canadians would be better off with the Northern Gateway Project than without it. They also provided 209 conditions we must meet before we build the project or before we start operations. From the beginning, Northern Gateway has committed to building a safer and better pipeline. The Panel’s conditions are an important step towards that goal. They reflect the input of thousands of British Columbians and Canadians, and include many of the commitments we made in our submission. But our work is far from done. As a proud British Columbian, I assure you that my team will continue to work hard towards meeting all of the final conditions set out by the Joint Review Panel, just as we’re working hard to meet the Province’s tough conditions. Building a better pipeline isn’t easy. It takes hard work and complete dedication to meeting the highest standards possible. The Joint Review Panel’s recommendation is an important step toward building a better pipeline.

Sincerely,

Janet Holder Leader of Northern Gateway

Sports scoreline would suggest. Shots on goal were a lot closer than they have been this season, 25-22 for Langley on Friday and 36-34 for Langley on Saturday. Spencer Tremblay was in for all five Friday, goals that started with a power play marker in period one, a second extrastrength goal in period two. Langley then scored three in six minutes in the third. On Saturday, back at Prospera Centre, Kiefer McNaughton opened the scoring from Kurt Black at 15:28 of the first, a goal that was matched less than two minutes later by Langley’s Kevan Kilistoff. Langley then had three in a row, including the eventual game winner at 4:15 of the period from James Robinson. Andrew Silard earned some consolation in the form of a short-handed marker from Jake Hand at 15:54 of the second but that was all they’d get. Josh Halpenny was in for all five Langley goals Saturday. And while the Chiefs’ brass says this year is a restructuring one—restructuring that coach Harvey Smyl has already begun with a number of trades—not making the playoffs will be hard because it will be the first time that has happened in 20 years with Smyl behind the bench. ◗ The Chiefs’ record sits at 10-29-1-3. Next games are backto-back away-home Friday/ Saturday games against the 18-18-1-3 Coquitlam Express.

Chiefs’ playoff hopes still alive

ith 15 games to go in the regular season, and sitting 12 points behind the Surrey Eagles for the last playoff spot in the Mainland Division, the Chilliwack Chiefs haven’t given up hope. “We are not out of it yet,” team president Glen Ringdal said last week. “We play Surrey four more times. So if we win all of those, and if they lose a couple and we win a couple . . . maybe by wiggle and jiggle we can make it in.” Of course, making the playoffs would mean facing off against the 27-12-1-4 Langley Rivermen, the team that outscored Chilliwack 10-2 over two games last weekend. Despite losing 5-0 Friday night in Langley and the 5-2 back at home Saturday, the games were closer than the

T

rue to his word that the Vineyard Community Centre in downtown Chilliwack would be much more than a church, Vern Tompke is hard at work preparing for a series of live music events. Tompke, along with friend Luke Vandevert, has created a non-profit organization as a means to host regular concerts with touring singer-songwriters. Later this month, the Acoustic Emporium at the Vineyard on Wellington Avenue will host Jon Bryant and then in early February, Jordan Klassen. The idea, according to Tompke and Vandevert, is to provide a gathering place for those who like acoustic-based music of the roots/alt/folk/singer-songwriter variety. “We are filling a need,” Tompke said. Tompke, at 53, and Vandevert, at 25, say that the acoustic-based folk music they envision is experiencing a revival of sorts. And it’s a revival that seems to appeal to a broad range of ages. “Folk is kind of the open door to that,” Vandevert said. The name “Acoustic Emporium” is an homage to the venue, the old downtown Emporium, a heritage building built in the 1900s. Tompke is the pastor at Vineyard Community Church, which took

Let Jake and Elwood beat your winter blues away

BY SHARRON HO Chilliwack Times n energetic show that pays homage to the iconic Blue Brothers is coming to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on Jan. 28. The humour, music and chaos of Jake and Elwood Blues that enthralled audiences in the late ’70s and early ’80s is returning with a live concert show called The Official Blues Brothers Revue. The show features Canadian performers Wayne Catania as lead vocalist Jake Blues and Kieron Lafferty as harmonica-wielding Elwood Blues. According to Lafferty, The Official Blues Brothers Revue is an authentic portrayal of the characters as they would have been remembered in earlier stage performances, with the same goofy dances, schtick, lines and, most importantly, music. “It’s not really a musical per se, it’s more of a recreation of Jake and Elwood, doing their concert performances as you would have seen on [Saturday Night Live] and the Universal Amphitheatre when they opened up for Steve Martin,” he told the Times. “Music and mayhem is a good way to describe it. It’s a great

as hit songs from the five albums released by Blue Brothers founders, John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd. Classic songs to be performed include “Soul Man,” “Rubber Biscuit” and “Sweet Home Chicago.” Lafferty called the show “a bit of an encyclopedia of American music” from the ’30s up until the ’70s, with blues, R&B, jazz and gospel influences. “We’re going to bring [the audience] back in a bit of a time machine, but we’re also going to add some knowledge and they’ll get to come away with a different understanding of where all the music comes from and who wrote all the music that has been on their playlist over the years,” Catania added. Amidst a number of reviews that laud Catania and Lafferty for their ability to capture the spirit of Jake and Elwood, The Official Blues Brothers Revue also has the stamp of approval from Dan Aykroyd and Judith Belushi, who are producers for the show. The original Blues Brothers musical director Paul Shaffer is also involved in the project. “We’re greatly honoured to be asked to do these characters, and I think if we were not associated with them, we probably would be doing different

Captures true spirit things, because if you’re going to do this you want to be able to do it justice and you want to be able to have the endorsement of the people who created it,” Lafferty said. “Both Kieron and I went to Blues Brothers boot camp so to speak, and that was sitting down with Dan and Judy and working on the characters and getting all the details and knowledge of, you know, who they are and where they go and where they’re from,” Catania said. The antics and sound of the Blues Brothers has also proven to have a timeless quality, as Catania and Lafferty—who have been performing as the suit, tie, hat and sunglasses-wearing duo since 1998—both agreed the show will keep audiences of all ages entertained. ◗ The Official Blues Brothers Revue takes place on Jan. 28 at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre at 7:30 p.m. For tickets, which are $40 for adults, $37 for seniors and $35 for students, call the centre box office at 604-391-SHOW (7469), visit in person or buy online at www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca.

Showtime and Pierre Tremblay. Tremblay and Wiens both enjoy working with the physicality of paint but with different outcomes. Tremblay has focused on playing with the conventions of portraiture. Playful extremes in both colours and composition play an important role in how his subjects materialize. Wiens has been working on depicting non-specific landscape spaces that explore the notion of both incremental and forceful change. The gallery is at 9201 Corbould St. and is open Wednesdays to Saturdays, noon to 5 p.m. and 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. during theatre performances. There will be a meet-and-greet reception Jan. 25 from 1 to 4 p.m. improvisational comedians. For tickets call the centre box office at 604-391-SHOW (7469), visit in person or purchase online at www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca.

Swain brings haunting falsetto to HHS law Social. I was immediately struck by his haunting falsetto singing—a rare and arresting voice,” said Andy Hillhous, Harrison Festival Society artistic director. The Victoria-based musician has toured throughout much of North America, Australia and Europe and shared the stage with the likes of Ridley Bent, Dustin Bentall and Marc Savoy. His remarkable musical journey has seen him play alongside other folk treasures in Outlaw Social, The Bills and Louisiana’s popular Red Stick Ramblers. Swain is also a two-time Prairie Music Award recipient (The Bills) and 2008 Western Canada Music Award nominee for Outstanding Roots Group (Outlaw Social). For his show at Harrison Memorial Hall, Swain will be accompanied by folk music prodigy Quinn Bachand, celebrated violinist Richard Moody and multi-faceted Glenna Garramone. ◗ Tickets for Oliver Swain’s Big Machine are $22 and can be purchased online at www.harrisonfestival.com, by phone at 604-796-3664 or in person at Ranger Station Art Gallery in Harrison and Agassiz Shoppers Drug Mart on Pioneer Avenue.
