Misplaced outrage over pay packets Modest local aboriginal leader salaries lost amid Taxpayers’ ire PAUL J. HENDERSON @peejayaitch

hen most people fly to their honeymoon destinations, they arrive at the airport with luggage packed, boarding passes printed and passports ready.

But when Joel and Melanie Ellis took off from Chilliwack Airport on the morning of

July 26, there was no check-in and no lineup at the security counter.

The couple marked the start of their post-wedding trip to Yellowknife by hand cranking the propeller of a 1948 Piper Vagabond two-seated airplane.

And if the trip wasn’t adventure enough, a 10-gallon fuel tank means they have to stop for gas every two hours of flight.

But Melanie is used to her new husband’s

aircraft, and has full confidence in his skills.

“Flying in that plane is like putting on another pair of pants for him,” she said before climbing in the cockpit and making adjustments for lift-off.

With Joel in the pilot’s seat and Melanie squeezed beside him with navigation tools, they pulled onto the runway and rose off { See LOVE IN THE AIR, page A16 }

f not for Chief Ron Giesbrecht of the Kwikwetlem First Nation and his $800,000 bonus last year, the attempt by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) to foment outrage about pay packets for aboriginal leaders in Canada may have backfired.

When the federal government began to post the remuneration statements of aboriginal chiefs and councillors along with band financial statements last week, the CTF expressed “jubilation” and took full credit for the First Nations Financial Transparency Act (FNFTA) that made it possible.

And while information from just half of the bands in the Times’ readership area was posted before going to press, it would appear most chiefs and councillors were in fact paid quite modest honoraria and/or

upfront This week on the web Ashwell Road home gutted by fire Aug. 2 A single-family home on Ashwell at Kipp was damaged by an early morning fire Aug. 2.

The Chilliwack Fire Department was called to the address and found the house fully engulfed.

Firefirghters from Halls 1 and 4 quickly brought the fire under control.

There was significant heat and smoke damage in the house, but no one was home so there were no injuries.

The cause of the fire is under investigation by fire department officials and the RCMP.

New warning about an old scam

The Chilliwack RCMP are warning the public about a money scam.

An elderly couple was contacted and advised that they had won more than a million dollars in a lottery. In order to receive their funds, they were requested to send money to a person who said he was a lawyer.

“The couple sent a total of $6,500 to an overseas account,” said RCMP spokesperson Const.

Tracy Wolbeck. “We want the public to be aware that this lottery scam has occurred in the past and to always question when being requested to send money.”

Anyone with information regarding this fraud is asked to contact the Chilliwack RCMP at (604)792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1(800 )2228477 (TIPS).

He added that even if it proves to be the case that Giesbrecht’s massive payout is anomalous, it proves the CTF’s “commitment to transparency works.”

In a CTF press release issued July 29, prairie director Colin Craig said that many band members “have been bullied or harassed in the past for merely asking for this basic information.”

The FNFTA now makes it possible for all band members to find out what their elected representatives earn.

The act has been opposed by a handful of band leaders, but most support being open about

what leaders are paid.

Crey said he and other Sto:lo leaders he has heard from are happy the FNFTA now provides the information for band members. But speaking of transparency, he said now it’s time for the CTF to walk the walk.

“Those that seek to change public policy, like the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, should lead by example as opposed to trying to make an example of others. No?” The CTF disagrees.

When asked who donates to the CTF, or even a list of the top 20 donors, Bateman reiterated the organization’s position that it guards those names closely. Instead, the organization

provides a financial summary that showed all but 326 of the 22,971 donors last year gave less than $1,000. And of those 326, the average donation was $1,395.

The implication being there are no fat cats secretly bankrolling the CTF. It is a grassroots organization made up of frustrated taxpayers.

Bateman further suggested that even asking the question was akin to him asking the Times for a list of the paper’s biggest advertisers.

“I’m sure it would be fascinating for some to pour [sic] over the names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses for the 22,971 donations we received last year,” he said. “Just as I’m sure others would be fascinated to read the names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and billables of all of the people who advertise in the Chilliwack Times, or who subscribe to the Vancouver Sun. But I’m guessing if we, or Ernie, asked you or the Sun’s publisher to turn over that information, you’d cite many reasons why that was a ridiculous request.”

Instead, he pointed to a scrolling list that appears on the organization’s website, www.taxpayer.com with the names of donors who have voluntarily agreed put their names next to quotes and amounts donated.

man convicted of a vicious hammer attack in the Chilliwack River Valley was handed yet another jail sentence last week.

Jerry Lee Elliott was sentenced on July 30 to 12 months in jail for possession for the purpose of trafficking and six months for possession of a prohibited weapon without a licence.

He is already in jail as he was sentenced to three-and-a-halfyears for aggravated assault and uttering threats in the October 2010 beating of Douglas Hiatt in

the Chilliwack River Valley.

In handing down his decision in April 2013, Judge Russell MacKay called the attack “vicious, senseless and cowardly.”

The 31-year-old Elliott has a long violent criminal history going back more than a decade.

Most recently, after a guilty plea last December, Elliott was handed 21 days in jail and a three-year driving prohibition for operating a motor vehicle while disqualified. Then in March, after a trial, he received 30 days in jail for driving while prohibited.

Police found 11,520 plants inside a bunker in 2009. The owner of the property is scheduled to go to trial in September. a non-violent offender with no criminal history, was a good candidate or a conditional sentence.

The property’s owner was in front of Chilliwack city council in July 2010 for a show-cause hear ing that ended w ith a notice filed on the property’s title due to hazardous health and safety conditions in the home on the property.

Mc C o n n e l l’s l aw y e r t o l d city council his client hadn’t received formal notice of what was required for compliance.

Gaetz read from a letter sent to McConnell nearly a year prior that outlined precisely what was required. She added the city had little tolerance for grow-ops.

“What part of that doesn’t

your client understand?” she asked.

That’s when lawyer Nathan Mu i r h e a d s a i d Mc C o n n e l l was “an innocent victim” with regard to the grow-op.

But Gaetz said that was irrelevant because of a bylaw that requires owners to inspect properties every two months or they are considered complicit.

Police said the massive Nixon Road grow-op took a toll on the surrounding environment as chemical were spilled at the site, and operators had run an irrigation line from nearby Elk Creek, a fish-bearing stream.

Mounties estimated the grow-op stole more than $400,000 of electricity to power the operation.

Meth, crack, heroin and weapon found in drug raid at downtown apartment unit

The men were arrested when the Chilliwack RCMP Crime Reduction Unit executed a search warrant at a unit in the 9300 block of Edward Street.

Lower Mainland District Emergency

Response Team (ERT) assisted in the execution of the warrant that found significant amounts of what police believe to be heroin, crack cocaine and methamphetamine. Also found in the unit was cash and a firearm.

At the time of the warrant execution, seven people were detained but just two were arrested and charged.

The drugs located in the apartment were pre-packaged and looked to be ready for distribution, according to Chiliwack RCMP spokesperson Const. Tracy Wolbeck.

“The Crime Reduction Unit is very proactive in breaking down the drug trade here and this is another example of that work being done well,” Wolbeck said.

Arrested at the scene was 64-year-old Darr yl Francis Ness who was charged, convicted and handed a conditional sentence for his role in the grow-op.

In t h e 2 0 1 2 t r i a l , C row n counsel Michael LeDressay painted a picture of a “monstrous criminal enterprise.”

Ness’s lawyer said his client was in bad health, dire financial straights and hadn’t profited from the grow-op other than obtaining free rent to live on the property.

Justice William Grist didn’t buy the innocent caretaker argument, but he agreed Ness,

Last week his trial was scheduled to begin Sept. 15 in Chilliwack.

McConnell owned the property where, in September 2009, Mounties found more than 10,000 marijuana plants in an underground bunker.

Police said a conservative estimate of the crop was $3 million, and it was “the largest, most sophisticated” grow op they had ever seen.

The grow-op was defended by an elaborate security system, which included rigged entrances to shoot bear spray at intruders.

Provincial money for more seats at UFV trades centre

S

ome students on waitlists for the University of the Fraser Valley’s (UFV) Trades and Technology (TTC) Centre may be in luck as more seats are opening up.

Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness was at UFV’s TTC in Chilliwack last Thursday along with Chilliwack MLA John Martin and Abbotsford-South MLA Darryl Plecas to announce funding for an additional 194 training spaces for trades.

The money is part of the BC Liberal government’s Skills for Jobs Blueprint with a focus on the liquefied natural gas (LNG) sector the province hopes is coming.

UFV will receive $872,000 to help add seats in the following trades departments: • 40 welder foundation; • 16 welder apprenticeship; • 18 carpenter foundation;

9,998 + $1,400 = $11,398

• 16 carpenter apprenticeship; • 54 electrician foundation; • 32 electrician apprenticeship; • 18 heavy-duty equipment mechanic foundation.

“We want British Columbians to be first in line for the million job openings expected in the coming years,” Martin said in a press release. “The 194 additional trades training seats at the University of the Fraser Valley will give more students the chance to get the skills they need to succeed.”

Banking on a booming LNG industry in the coming years, the province says those one million job openings will arrive by 2022.

Even Thursday’s positive announcement, however, will not satisfy everyone on the long waiting lists for a number of trades programs at UFV. In May there were 102 students on a waitlist for construction electrician and 89 students for welding foundation. “[W]e are, as all other areas are, under budget restraints and budget cuts from the Ministry of

Overlooked on sunny B.C. day

◗ Publisher

I

n the last hours of the B.C. Day long weekend many of us missed the passing of a very important event.

Some of us forgot, while others chose to ignore it.

In our attempts to hang on to that final sunny holiday afternoon, it’s almost excusable to let the centennial anniversary of the First World War go unnoticed.

But it’s not really forgivable at all. We have to remember. Of course many people did acknowledge the historic day, but it was ill-timed and didn’t receive the attention it deserved.

And while it’s so very important to simply remember, 100 years is a fitting landmark period to assess how we each feel about war today.

The war to end all wars did nothing of the sort. It started a trend: the industrialization of war.

With leaders as much as ever trading their citizens’ lives for personal gain—along with instant updates on our phones with pictures of conflicts around the world—it can be all-too persistent and overwhelming.

As a result, caring about strife in far reaches of the planet might seem pointless.

How does one think about war today, in a peaceful country so far removed from conflict by geography and time?

It’s an individual pursuit with no sure answers, but one well worth exploring.

We Canadians are lucky to live in a peaceful, stable country. We should be wise not to take it for granted.

You don’t have a right to trespass

I

magine, if you will, arriving in a new land with hundreds or thousands of others from a faraway country only to displace the people already there.

People who had been there, living on the land in relative peace, for literally thousands of years.

Take the land. Take the resources off the land. Force those people already there to live in isolated, small communities cut off in some cases from one another.

Then 150 years later, with empty beer cans in the cooler in your trunk, sun screen and sweat stinking up your clothes, you decide you don’t like the long drive home from the beach so let’s cut through the Indian reserve.

And then you complain because the residents of that reserve, sick and tired of your speeding, your dust, your insolence, your self-importance—to say nothing of your colonialism, your residential schools and your seething racism—block the road so you can’t get through.

Boo-hoo.

PAUL J. HENDERSON @peejayaitch The anger and ignorance from a number of inconvenienced beach-goers this past weekend after members of the Soowahlie First Nation put up a gate on the road was remarkable.

I won’t repeat the comments here because if they weren’t racist, they were just dumb.

On the bright side, it would appear many local aboriginals seem to turn the other cheek.

Not so the inconvenienced suburbanites who couldn’t use the shortcut.

The conversation on two of the more free-speech-friendly Chilliwack Facebook pages was actually deleted by administrators, which illustrates just how out of hand things got.

Here is the simple thing, as I see it: There is a paved road to Cultus Lake called the Columbia Valley Highway

and it works just fine. It gets busy on weekends and in hot weather. If you don’t like it, don’t go to Cultus.

The Soowahlie First Nation has a relatively tiny piece of land to call their own and they don’t need kids drag racing down the gravel road yelling racist epithets, as has been known to happen.

I’ve only lived in Chilliwack for eight years but I remember the summer we moved here there was similar frustration from Soowahlie band members, and similar ignorance from people who just wanted to get to the lake.

Jennifer Gilderdale wrote a letter in the Times in August 2006 complaining about being treated badly for taking the shortcut. She claimed she was charged money to drive through.

“They say we are racist, but who brought it on themselves by doing what they did that weekend? . . . I kept thinking to myself how can they charge us to use a road? They use our roads.”

Yes, “they” use “our” roads.

Would it be racist to suggest that

“you” are on “their” land? And I’m not talking about just when you want a shortcut to the beach. Your house is on “their” land. Maybe not legally, but your house (if you live in the Cultus Lake or Vedder Crossing area) is on unceded Soowahlie territory.

That may mean nothing to folks desperate for a shortcut around traffic, but it means something to the aboriginals just a generation or two away from near cultural genocide.

I wonder how many of those road users are aware that members of the Soowahlie band had planned an Idle No More-style protest on Aug. 1 to block the road, but it was cancelled due to internal band disagreement about the plan. In other words, it could have been worse.

Some residents are upset at how some band members blocked the road on the B.C. Day long weekend and were unfriendly to trespassers.

I’m amazed, frankly, at the restraint Soowahlie band members have shown over the last decade.

Irresponsible dog owners abound Editor: Re: Kelly Moore’s letter regarding off-leash parks, July 31 Ms. Moore, In regards to your very valid points about the excessive development in Chilliwack and lack of off-leash areas for dogs, I agree. I for one, am not a “dog person” but do understand the need for more offleash areas.

Unfortunately, from my experiences, mostly along the Rotary Trail, there are very few responsible dog owners. I have been chased, bitten, ridden through dog feces, and tangled in retractable leashes that no one seems to know how to use.

This isn’t while speeding along the multi-user trails along the Vedder River. I let my presence known well in advance, slow down to walking speed, and move to the appropriate side of the trail. Yet I still have to weave through people that move right while their dogs go left, leaving the aforementioned leashes strung across the trail, dog feces, and usually the dog who is now trying to bite me or chase me. Then I have to worry about my daughter behind me. That’s if the dog is on a leash. If it’s not and starts to chase me/us, I have to stop.

Some dogs pose no real concern while others . . . well let’s just say I’m prepared. And what of the wildlife you speak of or dogs of responsible owners? They all get chased or disturbed to some extent. I’ve seen dogs attack spawning salmon in the river. I’ve seen dogs attack other dogs or chase rabbits, geese, and

I won’t even speak to how many times I’ve almost been hit by people driving with dogs on their laps.

Follow Surrey’s lead on dog parks

Editor: Re: Kelly Moore’s letter regarding off-leash parks, July 31 I heartily agree with the comments made in this letter and it is tragic that there is such disregard for wildlife in the pursuit of the almighty dollar.

It is no surprise that Surrey has nine off-leash parks as the mayor

and council there have animal welfare on their agenda, (i.e. fines for people who violate the “Care of Dogs” section of the bylaw).

It would not appear that our council is the least bit interested in areas concerning compassion for our fourlegged friends. I hope I am wrong— time will tell.

Condos wrong for Minter Gardens

Editor: Re: The Future of Minter Gardens, July 31 I like the possibility that the University of Fraser Valley will get involved with Minter Gardens.

Several faculties could each have responsibility for a section of the gardens. For one department alone it might be too much, although not impossible. Each could have a theme and place interns and workshops there.

I was privileged to join a tour of the very large and varied Devonian Gardens when I attended an alumni weekend at the University of Alberta. I was impressed with the variety of ways that that the university is involved. It was thrilling.

I am against using the area for new condos. What a ridiculous waste of the heritage Brian Minter has provided through his many years of skilled dedication.

Putting the interests of others before our own

BY REG TOEWS Greendale MB Church

W

e live in a world full of conflict. We see it all over the world in Africa, Ukraine, the Middle East, to name a few. Much of the conflict is based on differing religious views. Even in Jesus’ day there was conflict around politics and religion. Here is what he had to say.

“You have heard it was said, ‘Love your neighbour and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you… (Matthew 5:43, 44)

In our western world, we debate how to apply loving our enemies. In a world filled with conflict, which is highly complicated, it is even more difficult.

What did Jesus have in mind when he said these words? I believe he is calling us to live in such a way as to put the interests of others before our own.

Loving our enemy is calling us to place his/her interests first. Some might say that this doesn’t work.

However, what would it look like for people to agree to let each other live? Is the beginning of love the willingness to let people exist? We can agree that we have differences

of opinion on how things should work but should we agree that every human life is precious?

If we want to start close to home, and I would like you to consider this, what would it mean for you to put the interests of your spouse or children ahead of your own?

Let me suggest that it wouldn’t be to give your children whatever they wanted. Rather you would give them what they need, when they need it.

You would assist them in becoming adults who contribute positively to the world that they live in. This is not handing them everything before they ask. Allowing them to struggle

is how they learn.

I have a grandson who didn’t walk until somewhere around 17 months. He was a very compliant, easy-going child. Don’t know where that came from. However, he learned to walk when he wanted to get something and he couldn’t reach it. Did he cry? Yes. Did we all run to give it to him? No. He had to reach out and learn how to walk so that he could achieve something.

Would loving him have been to give him everything? No. Loving our enemies is not about giving them or us everything that we want. Certainly we need to listen and hear what their needs are. Lis-

tening well is loving in itself.

I would hope that followers of Jesus are working hard to embrace and live out what it means to love our enemies.

In Canada, it is fairly easy. How are you doing at loving your enemies? In conflict areas of our world it is painfully difficult. Yet many are choosing to love their enemies in the middle of conflict.

Let’s join together to pray for peace in our world and practice it here. ◗ Reg Toews is lead pastor at Greendale MB Church. He can be reached at pastorreg@shaw.ca.

A day in the fast lane with Rusty Race enthusiasts get behind the wheel

BY GREG LAYCHAK glaychak@chilliwacktimes.com

“I’m a little nervous,” she says after sitting through the required driving tutorial. “My kids are coming to watch so I don’t want to crash, but I’m really stoked.”

Although a little car-to-car contact is acceptable in stock car racing, it’s forbidden for these one-day racers.

And while uncommon in paid weekend events, accidents do happen in the actual sport, according to driver Aaron Willison.

“Even though we wreck fairly often, we walk away every time,” says the 26-year-old racer. “But I’m confident we’re safer driving on the racetrack than we are driving to work in the morning.”

He refers to the strict safety measures enforced at the track, and the required safety gear such as neck restraints.

Today Willison drives ride-along visitors in the fiberglass body

A

t the base of a small mountain just outside of Agassiz, morning quiet is interrupted by the roar of a 460 hp engine revving up.

“You hear that, Randy?” asks Christie Fettes.

“It’s like music,” responds a nearby voice.

For a visibly excited Fettes it’s the song of a race car, and it’s the reason she’s here at Agassiz Speedway on the Saturday of a long weekend.

Each of about 20 participants gathered at the oval track for the Rusty Wallace Racing Experience will either sit for a ride-along with an seasoned racecar driver, or take control of the wheel themselves, depending on their chosen package.

In her case, Fettes is ready to scratch “driving a race car” off her bucket list, an aspiration 15 years in the waiting.

Greg Laychak/TIMES

{ See RUSTY, page A13 } Christie Fettes has her picture taken by volunteer Leslie McKellar before she climbs in to take a few laps.

In Glasgow, Chilliwack gymnast Zachary Clay did his part to contribute to a bronze medal for Canada’s Commonwealth score in the men’s team final event, July 29. Clay recorded points in the pommel horse, rings, vault, parallel bar and horizontal bar events. Gold went to England, with silver won by Scotland. “It was a great opportunity for me to compete in Scotland,” Clay said. “It gave me a real insight as to what high level athletes are doing from other countries.” Although the Commonwealth games is one of Clay’s highest competitions, he has competed throughout B.C. and Canada, Japan several times, the United States, Europe, and was at the Junior Commonwealth games a few years ago in Great Britain. Canada finished third in the Games overall behind England and Australia.

But despite two rushing touchdowns for Chilliwack, it was an unbalanced ground game. Bronco Aaron Morran, league leader in rushing yards, scored two touchdowns and shared the majority of the Kamloops running game with teammate Jacob Palmarin.

Cougars drowned by river animals

In minor baseball, Chilliwack saw defeat at the hands of two kinds of river animals in provincial tournaments over the weekend. After a successful sweep in their round robin, the 18U AAA Cougars were upset by the Kamloops RiverDogs in their semi-final game, 4-2.

Tri-city took the tournament title with a win over Kamloops. The 13U peewee Cougars also won every game in their provincial round robin but fell short of the championship, losing 7-4 in a back-and-forth final with the Duncan RiverCats.

› Community Newlyweds fly off in tiny plane for honeymoon in the North

A discovery for her love of bagpipes side-tracked Melanie’s flying career in the air cadet days, so now the Quebec-born animal shelter attendant is continuing where she left off.

“With Joel’s help and guidance I am well on my way to getting my ultralight pilot permit and then will be moving on to continue my private pilot license training and certification,” she says.

It will make their long distance trips easier when the duo can swap off on the controls more consistently.

Melanie said she’ll take some flying time on the way to Yellowknife, but for now Joel’s experience will be the honeymooners’ main guide if conditions turn rough.

{ LOVE IN THE AIR, from page A1 } into the mountains.

The newlyweds had also invited their flying club, the Pacific Pilots Flying Group. So after finishing breakfast at the Airport Coffee Shop, pilots and passengers trickled onto the runway and one-by-one, three light aircraft followed the couple on their flight path north.

Melanie’s grandparents, aunt and uncle came to see their dear ones off that sunny morning, also enjoying a morning meal at the restaurant.

Later outside, they watched their precious cargo disappear on the horizon.

A lofty honeymoon adventure had begun.

Flights of fancy Flying to Yellowknife had been an idea of Joel’s for a couple of years.

“I wondered if there were even enough fuel stops along the way for a small, limited range vintage aircraft to get that far north,” he said.

It turns out there are, so he approached Melanie with the idea.

Though her heart was originally set on flying to Disneyland, the couple decided something in Canada would be better for their first long-range attempt.

In planning the gas stops to the North, Joel found that a major chal-

It’s not just the size of the lake that’s a concern, but the unpredictable weather above it.

Better to stick to the road around it, flying above the cars, and meet a local pilot in Fort Providence with some fuel cans, he said.

And while they planned for many of the possible variables like weather, this year brought an unexpected factor on that last, northern stretch.

“The biggest concern right now is the wildfires, and their impact on the visibility along our route,” said Joel.

“We may also run into some airspace closures while they are fighting the fires.”

But the couple was determined to make a trip out of it, regardless of weather and fire conditions. The newlyweds have seen their share of airtime, and are both experienced flyers for being in their late-20s.

In fact, the two met in air cadets when they were in high school.

Joel started in gliders and took on powered craft a year later. While he’s booking mileage on his honeymoon, the engineering technologist will also be celebrating 10 years of piloting.

“The freedom and the spectacular view make the sky one of my favorite places to be,” he said. “It is constantly challenging, I am always learning, and there is always room for improvement.”

He’s also a flight instructor at King George Aviation. Currently his favourite student is his wife.

Last week, the little yellow Piper jumped from Chilliwack to a half-dozen communities on its way to Dawson Creek. Turning into Alberta, the pair shed their companions as they went further north.

Near-perfect weather accompanied them until they reached Hay River, N.W.T., where they had to park while forest fires raged.

It was a commercial flight in a DC-3 that eventually took the pair into Yellowknife. And while they fell one stop short of their plan, Joel admitted over his coffee at Chilliwack airport that it might be nice to take a break from sitting in the pilot’s seat once they arrived.

When Joel and Melanie see the northern lights in Yellowknife’s short dark hours, they’ll enjoy them like most honeymoon couples who choose northern Canada—from the ground.

Protecting poultry, updating code

BY DESSA BAYROCK dbayrcock@chilliwacktimes.com

B

.C. farm animals are one step closer to better protection.

The treatment of local animals has been a hot topic of the summer after an undercover Mercy for Animals activist caught abuse on camera at a Chilliwack dairy farm.

This month, the federal government committed $2.2 million to improve the Codes of Practice that outline standards of living for farm animals in Canada.

The Canadian Federation of Humane Societies (CFHS) works to update and improve these Codes of Practice, recently helping to introduce the Pig Code, which

sets out more than 100 requirements of pig care, to be phased in over the next decade.

With this new funding, the CFHS looks toward introducing similar Codes of Practice to the poultry sector, although many others are also in need of an update—including the Veal Code, which hasn’t seen an update since its introduction in 1998.

Although these Codes of Practice help protect the lives and living conditions of farm animals, the BC SPCA also brings attention to the fact that B.C. doesn’t actually tie these guidelines into the provincial Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, as five other provinces have.

“[The act] refers only to allowing ‘reasonable and generally accepted practices of animal management,’ leaving the courts to interpret this term broadly,” the BC SPCA notes. By directly referencing the Codes of Practice in the act, the BC SPCA states the government would clarify the definition of abuse—leading to better protection for animals and helping hold abusers accountable.

And while these changes to provincial standards and the Codes of Practice aren’t in response to the high-profile expose, the SPCA says this particular case has at the very least brought farm animal abuse into the spotlight.

“W

e’re pretty on target for what we expected,” Nicole Hill says.

Hill is the event co-ordinator for the Chilliwack Fair, and in this case “on target” means more than 1,500 entries ready and waiting to jostle for blue ribbons in categories spanning from photography to gardening, canning to multimedia.

“On target” means more than 1,000 animals—pigs, cows, llamas, and mini-horses, to name a few—

will soon be on their way to the big red barns on Luckakuck.

“On target” means lawnmower races, antique tractors, and a three-day rodeo.

“On target” means welcoming world-class Canadian band Trooper to a giant stage in a little less than a week.

The Chilliwack Fair opens this Friday, Aug. 8, and runs until the end of Sunday. It’s got a little bit of everything for everyone—even the parts that are coming together last minute.

“It’s been a huge learning curve,” Hill says with a laugh. “But

everything is going pretty smoothly.”

With one day to go before the fair opens its gates to the public, Hill is a hard woman to track down. After all, 10 months of work is coming together at once. Hill counts off everything coming to the red barns for the weekend and quickly runs out of fingers.

P

icture the scene: you’re standing in Columbia Valley in the middle of summer, surrounded by hazelnut trees and the greenest grass you’ve ever seen. Gently weathered barns and fences stand in the distance, charming and cozy. It’s brilliantly sunny and peaceful—one of the most quiet, secluded neighbourhoods in Chilliwack, tucked around the side of Cultus Lake past the beaches and popular hiking spots.

But on Saturday, Aug. 16, it will be anything but quiet.

This cozy, peaceful farm will soon be hustling and bustling with visitors from all over the valley as they meander between trees and tables, simultaneously enjoying the work of local artists, an a cappella group belting out contemporary classics in fourpart harmony, and maybe even a fresh scone from a local bakery.

It’s all part of the 10th annual Art on the Farm—and according to organizer Mindy Chittenden, it might just be the best year for it yet.

artists summer day

Decade of Art on the Farm in Columbia Valley

The tradition has local roots and a simple mandate. Every year the Columbia Valley farm opens its gates and arms to a multitude of visitors with one goal: to spread the art and talent of the valley in a meaningful, creative way.

As Chittenden explains, the event has a funny—and exciting—way of growing into new shapes and surprises every year.

Blackberry picking? Check.

Local theatre performers and musicians? Check. Bellydancince? Bagpipes? An attendee who brings an accordion and asks if he can play in the field for the afternoon?

Check, check, check.

“We try to get as many local artists as we can, and we’ve got a pretty wide variety,” Chittenden says. “It’s got a really nice vibe, is what people keep saying—it’s very chill, compared to a lot of other events. Come and stay as long as you want.

We’re not rushing people out of the farm. You can bring a picnic if you want, you can

pick as many blackberries as you want.

“There’s no cellphone coverage in the valley, which I think helps people relax,” she adds with a wry grin. “You can’t really focus on anything else except where you are, and you take your time and enjoy it.”

There will be artisans from all over the valley setting up displays of their wares, as well as interactive activities for all ages. A side of the horse barn will be transformed into a giant mural over the course of the day, with a little help from attendees and and artists alike. Other artisans will be doing demonstrations—throwing pottery and spinning wool. There’s even an unofficial petting zoo: goats and other small animals wandering around looking for attention.

It’s a labour of love put together by a small team of people—for the most part all hailing from the same family and group of friends.

Chittenden says she was first

There is always music at Art on the Farm (above left) and Kimberley Francis will be back again with her custom handcrafted woodcuts made from local wood. inspired by a similar event on Pender Island called Art on the Fence, where local artists hung, strung, and stapled their art to fences and barns for public viewing.

“So we thought, let’s give it a go,” she says. “There are so many artists that need a venue, and especially a more casual and affordable venue to display their work.”

It’s grown and evolved over the years, from 20 artists to 40—a small sample expanding

into a larger showcase of local artists.

“I think we’re stable at about 40 artists now, and that’s about what we can handle,” she says with a smile. “We want to keep the event free, and we want to keep it community-oriented; we just keep trying to change it every single year to make it different.

“We’re always learning about new talent, every single year. People come out of the woodwork that I’ve never met

before, and I’ve made some really good friends.” ◗ Art on the Farm takes place at 1162 Iverson Rd. in the Columbia Valley on Aug. 16 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free, but organizers suggest bringing cash in case something on a vendor’s table catches your eye or you feel like having a bite to eat.

We’ll have local performers with various talents—some dancing, some singing, some with instruments.”

There’s so much on tap at the fair this year that Hill sounds as though she could keep going for hours, describing enough content to stuff the barns—and then some.

Activities overflow outdoors, notably into a giant screen that will show the classic musical Grease on Saturday night. After a hiatus away from outdoor activities, the fair is bringing back the always-popular games zone— boasting a multitude of inflatable activities. The star of the outdoor activity show, Hill says, is something called “Euro Bungee Jump.”

“There are a bunch of bungee cables and the kids get launched into the air,” Hill says with a smile.

“Kids of all ages, I guess!” she adds. “And safely, of course!”

More than 150 volunteers will be on hand to help keep things running smoothly, Hill says.

Without them—not to mention community support from all sides—the fair would be hooped.

“There are so many hands on deck helping,” Hill says. “Without them we definitely wouldn’t be able to operate as the kind of fair that we do.”

hilliwack might seem like a long way from Chicago, but with a little slide guitar and some soulful crooning, Nigel Mack & the Blues Attack promise to transport the audience to the heart of blues country.

And with a show scheduled for the Bozzini’s stage this Friday, Mack is set to bring a taste of the blues explosion to a Chilliwack crowd.

Mack says blues hit the western Canadian scene hard in the ‘80s, which helped push the band forward to new heights and their eventual relocation to Chicago.

“Blues legends that we had only heard on records, we were suddenly hanging out and jamming with,” Mack says.

IN MEMORIAM GIFTS

OBITUARIES KATERENCHUK, (Williamson) Phyllis (Louise)

Born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and passed away on July 23, 2014, at the age of 81, after a long battle with cancer. She moved to Vancouver in the early 1950’s where she worked as an accountant until her retirement and relocation to Chilliwack. Phyllis was an avid seamstress and knitter.

She was predeceased by her sister Mary, and leaves behind her devoted husband Johnny, of 56 years. Many family members and friends, especially Ted & Colleen Taylor, will miss her caring and loving manner.

Lewis Michael (Mick) Hubert Mick Lewis passed away Sunday July 27, 2014. He was born in Halifax, NS May 5, 1934. He is survived by his wife Marjorie of 60 years, son Michael (Cheryl) Lewis; daughters Peggy (Rick) Gamache and Trish (Rolf) Soth.

Grandchildren - Curtis (Lynne) Gamache; Ryan (Jocylene) Ridgway; Emily Soth; Amanda (Kevin) Grant; Erica Soth; Karl (Kaela) Soth; Dan Lewis.

Great Grand Children - Jessica, Rebecca, Sarah Gamache; Elizabeth and Maxwell Grant; Aidan, Kiley, and Kaeden Soth.

Mick retired from RCEME in Chilliwack after 27 years service in - Halifax, Gagetown, London ON, Fort Churchill, Calgary, Chilliwack in Canada and Europe and Egypt out of the country.

He was very proud to be chartered member of the Mt. Cheam Lions and he enjoyed the camaraderie over all these years. He gave 47 years service to Lions since he joined in Oromocto NB. We wish to thank the staff a Waverly Seniors Village for their very caring support for Mick during the last months.

A celebration of Mick’s life will be held at 2:00 August 10, 2014 in the Lions Club Hall 45580 Spadina Avenue, Chilliwack. A donation to a charity of your choice, in Mick’s name, would be appreciated. Of special interest would be Diabetes, Heart and Stroke or Alzheimer’s.

Harald was born to Bjarne and Olava, the fifth of nine children, in the Norwegian farming community of La Glace north of Grande Prairie, Alberta. In 1952, after training at Peace River Bible Institute in Sexsmith, he married Edna Peters and left the family farm for ministry with the Shantymen’s Christian Association in Tofino on Vancouver Island.

Thereafter he served with the Christian and Missionary Alliance as pastor of 11 churches over the next 50 years throughout western Canada, including Chilliwack Alliance, Sherwood Park Alliance and Sevenoaks Alliance in Abbotsford. By his own estimation, his signal accomplishment was to establish, in 1980, Strathcona Christian Academy in Sherwood Park, Alberta. This K-12 school now has 1,100 students.

He was the father of five fine children: Leon, Laurie, Lyndon, Trevor, and his ‘special girl’ Kathy, grandfather to thirteen grandchildren, and in February, became a great-grandpa.

He was predeceased in 2007 by Edna, whose loss he mourned to the end, and is survived by brothers Oswald, Lloyd and Dean, and sisters Mary and Myrtle.

Harald was an able, practical preacher, characterized by humility and integrity, with a passion for hard work. He dedicated his life to make known the gospel of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ, leaving a legacy that enriched the lives of thousands. He enjoyed a full and wonderful life with his beloved Edna, and his children will always be proud to call him ‘dad.’
