A
man knocked off his bike on a rural Chilliwack road by an offleash Doberman was awarded nearly $40,000 by the BC Supreme Court. Joseph Leon Gallant was riding along Chilliwack Central Road on Jan. 1, 2012 when a dog, Rocky, ran from a property owned by Peter and Trudy Slootweg and knocked him to the ground. The 61-year-old broke his collarbone and two ribs in the incident. In a decision rendered in BC Supreme Court in Chilliwack on Aug. EB IRST 19, and posted online on Aug. 28, First reported on Justice Brian Joyce chilliwacktimes.com awarded Gallant $25,000 in non-pecuniary damages, $13,068 in lost earning capacity and $1,050 for damages to his bike. Gallant sued the Slootwegs for damages on two legal bases: negligence as well as the doctrine of “scienter.” Scienter is a long-standing legal doctrine that places liability on the owner of an animal who attacks as long as the owner has a dog with a propensity to cause harm and the owner is aware of that propensity. The defendants argued that scienter shouldn’t apply, because Rocky was not “of a vicious or dangerous nature,” { See LAWSUIT page A4 }

94-year-old Cecil Hansford has dodged death countless times, is the last surviving member of his Second World War squadron and claims to have run a sub-four-minute mile before Bannister BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

Unlikely history rewrite It was May 6, 1954 on a wet, blustery day when the 25-year-old Bannister, then an English medical student, ran four times around a track at Oxford University in 3 minutes, 59.4 seconds. { See LAST MAN, page A26 } 6621141
ixty years after British runner Roger Bannister was the first to break the four-minute barrier in the mile, a Chilliwack man has a bone to pick with history. “That pissed me off a little because that’s not true,” Cecil Hansford said during a conversation in his mobile home in Chilliwack. You see, the 94-year-old Hansford is diminutive in stature but he elicits one huge claim: He ran a sub-
four-minute-mile right around the time Bannister hit puberty. “I broke the four-minute mile in 1942, two seconds faster than Roger Bannister.”

Eagle’s nest to be moved, tree felled
weeks. The tree is on Crown land just west of the Sportsman Inn on Yale Road near Little Mountain, and is “old, deteriorating and unstable,” according to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources Operations. Branches from the “hazardous” tree and the nest itself are directly above the pedestrian walkway along Yale Road. In a press release issued Friday, the ministry said it poses a risk to people walking by and to vehicles on Yale. Ministry spokesperson Greig Bethel said staff will create a new nest structure in a nearby tree to compensate for the loss of the existing eagle nest. The work will take place some time in September depending on weather and staff availability. That time has been chosen to ensure no eagles are nesting. Both the City of Chilliwack and the local branch of the BC Wildlife Federation have endorsed the project, according to the ministry.

t was while picking cherries in Oliver that Darryl Fox hatched his plan to build a wooden raft and float down the Fraser River. “I call myself Hucklecherry Fox,” he joked during a visit to where he landed his rustic creation near Island 22 on the Fraser River last week. Inspired by tales of Chinese railroad workers building rafts in the children’s book White Jade Tiger by Julie Lawson, the 63-year-old Albertan decided to go on a little adventure. Spending very little money on tools and using some clever building techniques, Fox crafted his 12-foot-by-six-foot raft out of driftwood, debris and two fallen trees. He used a little bucksaw to cut one 50-foot spruce log into the four main beams that made up the raft. A second log cut in two and a bunch of rope helped keep it all together. “It’s all done with rope, no metal,” he said. He fashioned a rudder out of a log and a piece of wood debris, and even used a small branch to hang his tent fly on for a mini-sail. He also had one large pole that doubled as an oar to help give him

Fox said then he saw a helicopsome control over where he was ter circling and Seadoos zoomed in headed.

rominent local businessman Ted Shipley was given a conditional discharge for a drunken 2013 incident where he brandished a gun at nightclub bouncers. The 54-year-old Shipley pleaded guilty in Chilliwack Court Tuesday to pointing a firearm. Charges of resisting arrest and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose were dismissed by the Crown. His co-accused, 28-year-old Kevin Douthwright, was scheduled to go to trial Wednesday facing three weapons charges in connection with the May 22, 2013 incident. It was near closing time in the early hours of May 22 when Shipley and Douthwright showed up at the door of the Echo Room nightclub in Chilliwack. Visibly intoxicated, Shipley was denied entry by the two bouncers, Greg Wilhite and Clayton Charlie. Crown Counsel Paul Blessin said that’s when Shipley said: “Do you know who the fuck we are?” He then pulled out a handgun and pointed it at the bouncers. Shipley and Douthwright then left the scene but were located by Chilliwack RCMP officers a short time later. After twice being ordered to put their hands up, Mounties drew their firearms on the two men, the court heard. Douthwright was arrested without incident, but police needed a Taser to subdue the intoxicated Shipley. Given Shipley’s reputation as a businessman (he owns TeksMed, among other businesses) in the community, Blessin said a period of incarceration was not warranted and the Crown sought a conditional sentence of four to six months. Shipley’s lawyer John Conroy did not dispute most of the facts outlined by the Crown, but suggested that his client was so drunk he didn’t specifically even remember pointing the gun. Conroy said Shipley had a number of factors in his personal life leading up to the incident, including the sudden death of his wife in 2012 and suffering a stroke. Judge Roger Cutler agreed with Conroy, calling the incident one of “simple drunken tomfoolery,” and gave Shipley a conditional discharge. He also handed him a 10-year firearms prohibition and ordered him to abstain from alcohol.

Connecting to stop suicides C hilliwack residents will be helping to “Cycle Around the Globe” on Sept. 10 at Sto:lo Nation in support of “One World Connected,” the theme for this year’s World Suicide Prevention Day, as chosen by the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP). If averages hold true, 11 people will die by suicide today in this country, according to the IASP. Awareness is essential to changing this and understanding why people consider suicide and try to take their lives. At Sto:lo Nation, local cyclists will be doing their part to collectively pedal the 40,075 kilometres circumference of the Earth and have participants cycling on every conti-
nent. That’s IASP’s global challenge to raise awareness of suicide prevention. Organizers will have a few bicycles available on site, but participants are encouraged to bring their own bikes and helmets. Among those expected to take part are youth in the VYPER (Valley Youth Partnership for Engagement & Respect) and YAG (Youth As Gatekeepers) programs, which are both active locally in promoting healthy connectivity among Chilliwack youth and young adults. Sto:lo Nation is home to the Coqualeetza Trail, a one-kilometre track for people to cycle or walk any distance. Every kilometre logged will be submitted to the IASP to add to the worldwide total, and a compli-

mentary dinner will be served at 5 p.m. Other activities promoting suicide awareness and prevention will be hosted by youth and agency programs. Events run from 2 to 6 p.m. at the Sto:lo Nation, 7201 Vedder Rd. There is no cost and no need to pre-register. The Chilliwack Hospice Society, Chilliwack Community Services and Prospera Credit Union are sponsoring a second event for Suicide Prevention Day, at 7 p.m. at Cottonwood 4 Cinemas. This will be a special showing of the movie Patch Adams starring Robin Williams (who committed suicide Aug. 11) and will be followed by a panel discussion. Admission is $5 for the film and program.

Electronic fence used
and Gallant had not proven otherwise. They also claimed they were not negligent because, even though Rocky would frequently run alongside cyclists on Chilliwack Central Road, the dog never left the property because of an electronic fence. On Jan. 1, 2012, however, the electronic fence wasn’t working and Joyce concluded the Slootwegs were negligent because “a reasonable person would not place reliance solely on such a device to secure their dog and prevent it from causing harm to users of the road.” Joyce also agree that the defendants are liable on the basis of scienter since Rocky would chase cyclists
while barking and getting as close to them as he could while restrained by the electronic fence. “I am satisfied that Rocky’s actions constituted a propensity to cause harm to cyclists by knocking them from their bicycles if he was not restrained within the yard,” Joyce wrote. The total award of $39,118 fell between what the two parties were asking. Gallant wanted $25,000 in lost wages and between $30,000 and $35,000 for non-pecuniary damages. The Slootwegs sought non-pecuniary damages in the $8,000 to $15,000 range.

School’s in for ElderCollege BY DESSA BAYROCK dbayrock@chilliwacktimes.com
S
eptember is almost inseparable from the back-toschool buzz, but it’s not just young’uns hitting the books this season. As ElderCollege co-ordinator Carol Mills explains, you’re never too old for school. The non-profit society partners with the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV), borrowing classrooms and the occasional instructor to provide a mini-college for those aged 50 and over. The courses cover a broad range of topics; there’s a little something for everyone offered in bite-sized sessions, whether it’s watercolours or geography that falls in their wheelhouse. The program has expanded in leaps and bounds since its inception—from eight courses to 23, and from 100 students to 500. ElderCollege has appealed for many reasons, Mills says—first and foremost because learning never goes out of style. “We call it lifelong learning,” she says. “It’s a way to keep people vibrant throughout their life. “It becomes a part of your life—a part of what you do, and a part of how you learn about the world,” she continues. “That’s what makes more vibrant and interesting twi-

Both sides are are to blame
◗ Publisher
G
iven the dispute between the B.C. Teachers Federation and the provincial government has dragged on for months, it seems quite likely there will be no classes into the foreseeable future. This is completely unacceptable. There is no shortage of blame to go around, but it is the two primary parties in the dispute who have brought public school students and their parents to this sad state of affairs. At one time, the BC Liberal government banned strikes by teachers, saying that using students as pawns in a labour dispute was unacceptable. That was a move that met with public support. However, teachers disregarded the ban and went on strike in 2005, and actually gained considerable public sympathy, partly due to the fact that the BC Liberals had torn up part of their existing contract, and partly due to the fact that their emphasis was on class size. That’s the emphasis again, and this time the strike is perfectly legal. The public has absolutely no control over BCTF executive, and any discipline to be handed out there must be done by BCTF members. The public does have at least a measure of control over the government. The ability to recall MLAs exists. If the government doesn’t start showing a lot more concern for students’ education, it would be appropriate for parents in all ridings held by Liberal MLAs to look into starting recall campaigns. The fact is, neither side is taking students’ education all that seriously. They are treating this as a political fight— something both the BCTF and BC Liberals excel at.

Of Hellfire missiles and dog poop
I
misread the headline attached to a news story through a Facebook link on my phone. “School year delayed due to strikes” is what I thought it said, although the photo of what appeared to be rubble seemed incongruous. Another story on the labour strife in British Columbia, I thought. And I did also wonder why there was a plural on the word “strike.” Then I looked closer at my small screen and noticed the first word in the headline that I had missed. “Gaza school year delayed due to strikes.” Oh, right. Suddenly a little perspective washed over me. It’s one thing to have your children’s school year delayed because the teachers’ union wants more money for wages and to reduce classroom sizes while the government says the cupboard is bare. It’s quite another thing altogether to have the school year delayed, as it is in the Gaza Strip, due to Hellfire missiles raining down from above.
PAUL J. HENDERSON @peejayaitch If you simultaneously pay attention to local and international news, and if you step back with a little perspective, the subjects can be jarringly different. In Syria, journalists are being beheaded and ethnic minorities are being slaughtered by Islamic fundamentalists so extreme they make Al Qaeda look reasonable. Ebola is rocking West Africa. The Ukraine is a mess. Watching the international news these days can be stressful and depressing. And yet we have our own stresses right here at home. A full 46 per cent of British Columbians are “very upset” when they see people smoking on a patio or near open windows, and 78 per cent are “somewhat upset” by this. Cigarette butts on the ground? Fif-
ty-four per cent of us find this very upsetting and 86 per cent are “somewhat upset.” Worst of all is dog waste: 68 per cent of British Columbians are very upset when they see doggy doo-doo not picked up, and 94 per cent are somewhat upset. The statistics come from an Insights West poll released this week. The survey of Albertans and British Columbians looked at 14 behaviours that “disappoint” us westerners. Dog crap seemed to top the list of the 14 things that disappoint those surveyed in the two provinces. Downloading copyrighted material for free was the least upsetting, with just nine per cent of BC’ers being very irked by this. (I wish Insights had asked about offleash dogs—my personal pet peeve.) Tell a child, however, in Gaza whose apartment block has been destroyed by Israeli missiles that 90 per cent of folks in B.C. are somewhat upset when people park in handicapped spots without a decal and sympathy will be
hard to find. Try telling a Liberian quarantined with ebola that two thirds of us are very upset by seeing someone talking on a cellphone while driving. This is not to say that we don’t have serious, real problems here in Canada: missing Aboriginal women, environmental degradation, child poverty, to name a few real issues of concern. But recent immigrants from countries battling terrorism, disease and poverty must either gasp or laugh when they read some news stories in Canada. Or, maybe, they realize as many of us do that we are extremely lucky to have such petty problems. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be angered over the current dispute keeping our schools closed, or be annoyed when we see dog crap on the sidewalk and cigarette butts on a playground. But if you ever find your nose out of joint over what, in the big scheme of things, is a minor issue, it helps to get a little perspective, if only for the sake of your mental health.

Good to know we still talk about respecting free speech ➤ LETTERS
Online: www.chilliwacktimes.com Email: editorial@chilliwacktimes.com Mail: 45951 Trethewey Ave., Chilliwack, B.C. V2P 1K4 Letters must include first and last name, and a daytime phone number. Please remember, brevity is the soul of wit. about respect for freedoms of speech and belief, although my own concern has to do with what seems to be the unfettered popularity of Christian bashing. So I commend the Times for the space it has historically given to people of faith, particularly pastors and community leaders who faithfully represent the teachings of Christ. The Christian gospel has given to Canada root values which drive the good society we have come to enjoy. The fact is that tolerance and love are essentially Christ-centred truths. These concepts did not and do not come from the desert. All Canadians still benefit immensely from these roots, and there is room for improvement. Dave Ball Chilliwack
Two different fishery styles Editor: I would just like to make a few comments regarding Mr. Henderson’s article on page one of Thursday’s Times titled “No sport in this salmon fishery”. In this article Matthew Hawkins states that this fishery is not sportfishing and he is correct. This fishery has never been considered a sport fishery but rather a “harvest fishery.” Granted the method is somewhat questionable as “lining or flossing” is non-selective and catches all salmon species that are present during the fishery. However, non-selective species can be released to carry on their migration upstream to their
spawning destinations. When the Fraser sockeye fishery for recreational fisherman is over for the season then the “flossing” gear should be put away and not used for salmon fisheries in other local rivers where it is easy to entice them into actually biting. Many “true” anglers participate in this harvest fishery because they understand the difference between a harvest fishery and a sport fishery and find it very easy to adjust to them. If you cannot see the difference between these two fisheries then perhaps non-participation would be best for these individuals. This is the recreational anglers chance to legally harvest some sockeye for our food fish. I, for one, do not want to buy sockeye from stores at $15 to $30 a piece when there are 20 to 30 million of them swimming past my doorstep and there is a harvestable surplus for all user groups and enough fish to allow fisheries for all. When there are this many anglers (3,000 to 5,000) a day in the 30-mile stretch of river from Chilliwack to Hope you are bound to have some problems with fish abuse, garbage, altercations amongst anglers to name a few. The bulk of the fishers do not engage in these practices and try to share this harvesting experience with their families and friends. Angler education and ethics is being promoted by angling groups such as the Fraser Valley Salmon Society, The BC Federation of Drift Fishers, and the Peacemakers group just to name a few. Not all problems can be solved overnight but
knowledgeable anglers should guide some of the more inexperienced fishers in the right direction as far as ethics and fish handling is concerned. This must be an ongoing process if it is to succeed. My last comment is on the mega-economic impact on the Fraser Valley from this fishery. There are millions of dollars generated for local businesses such as tackle shops, boat shops, gas stations, hotels, motels, guides, grocery outlets and campgrounds just to name a few. A huge portion of this income that is generated directly from this fishery comes from outside the Fraser Valley. People come from places such as Alberta, Saskatchewan, the United States and even overseas to participate in this bountiful harvest. My comments are meant to show a somewhat more positive view of this fishery to the public and our community and something to ponder over. Nick Basok Chilliwack
Ludicrous accusations Editor: I read the comments by Matthew Hawkins. I am one of many anglers who fish for sockeye in the Fraser using the bottom bounce method. His ascertations that we are simply flossing or snagging salmon is ludicrous. In any method for species targeted foul hooking is a real liklihood. With millions of fish moving through narrow channels that chance is much higher. However, I can say based on many years of fishing sockeye and other salmon species on the Fraser River that sockeye do in fact bite. However, a “real” angler like Hawkins will tell you that my hook just so happened to drift in to the mouth of a sockeye at the exact moment its mouth was open. It really didn’t bite. I’ve
caught many fish in this river and although I have snagged a few the majority have been hooked in the mouth and not by means of flossing. They have been hooked with the tell tale hook set in the mouth as if attracted to the bait. I would caution Mr. Hawkins to be careful of the ascertations he makes publicly. Mike Rychtowski Chilliwack
Little respect for teachers Editor: The following was sent to Premier Christy Clark and Peter Fassbender on Aug. 28. I am a proud teacher in British Columbia. Teaching was not a profession I chose lightly. It is not the best paying employment; I have had higher paying jobs. It is not a relaxing profession; I have had stress-free jobs where I leave my work at the job site instead of carrying it home each day. It is however, the most rewarding profession I could ever
hope for. On a day-today basis, I can see the change that I make on our future generations. However, I am saddened more and more by the complete lack of respect and support this government has shown its teachers and its students. Over and over again, court rulings are ignored, sly media tactics are used and there is an attempt to vilify or negate the contributions of teachers. In disrespecting teachers, the BC Liberal government disrespects its students. By saying that class size and composition are not integral issues, you validate that learning environments are not important to students. By locking out teachers during their “lunch” you impact the very important oneto-one work teachers have with students that they cannot accomplish during class time due to huge class sizes. I have a two-year-old daughter. If the school system is continually worn down and rights are stripped away, I fear for what her educational
experience will be. I am not going to allow that erosion to happen. The time for change is now. I call upon you to respect the Supreme Court’s decision (twice now ruled) and come to the table ready to mediate in good faith. This is a province that is sorely in need of educational healing. You have the power and opportunity to make a positive outcome for B.C.’s public school children and for B.C.’s passionate teachers—just like me. The time is now. I’m ready to go back to work—but not until we have reached a fair deal that values educators and my students. Ondia Gillette Chilliwack
Boy have I seen the light Editor: I am a CUPE support staff employee and I would just like to point out that all teachers everywhere go into their classrooms the last one { See LETTERS, page A12 }

Editor: Re: “Freethinking” column in the Aug. 28 Times. I’m a pastor, albeit retired. I agree with A. Murphy about the privilege of holding variant points of view in a good society like ours. I agree with him, “it’s time Chilliwack truly loved their neighbours . . .” However, I don’t agree that it is socially prudent to simply allow free-wheeling individuals to “act . . . without hindrance or restraint or fear,” no strings attached. Achh! Along with all the good, human nature is still human nature . . . in some respects, flawed. As Jesus said, “there is none good,” or as we need to say, “please be patient, none of us is perfect yet.” A few restrictions are still needed for the common good. You know, it’s true, there are Christians, and others, including atheists “who will love you as long as you” . . . agree with them. It is sad when conformity to any dogma, including “free thinking” becomes the condition for patience, care and compassion for our neighbour. The Lord Himself is not this way. He, the very One who disclosed His nature through the giving of the Ten Commandments, made a more intimate effort to convey to Moses, for example, that God is superlatively a God of compassion, mercy, long-suffering (emphasis on the long). Christians, atheists, and “free-thinkers” are all candidates to benefit from this perspective. In all fairness, it is a “fact” that there are many Christians here in Chilliwack, and, I’m sure, some sincere atheists as well who are generous enough to love and enjoy neighbours who do not share precisely the same points of view. May none of us be so narrow as to label all members of a category under the same judgment. So good to know that in Canada we still talk

› Faith Today BY REV. WILLEM H. VAN DE WALL Cooke’s Presbyterian
L
ife can be described as the sum total of personal choices. From birth to death, we are faced with many important decisions. Those decisions can play a major role in the outcome of a person’s life—the choice of the right friends, the choice of the right person to spend the rest of your life with or the choice where to live that will bring fulfilment. Without question, one of the greatest abilities that separates us from all the rest of God’s creatures is our ability to look at options, to recognize different alternatives, and then to make a decision toward the accomplishment of that decision. Many of these decisions have been difficult decisions—that difficulty may not show right now, but at the time they were made, they were tough.
The ultimate choice: Giving God top spot With the anticipated start of a new academic year in the offing many students will have to decide on the right course and as the course continues they might have their doubts: “Was this really the right choice? Am I really made out to be a lawyer? Is education the right career for me?” As important as the choice of career, education or even the choice of a spouse may be, none of these are the greatest choice of all. Life’s greatest choice has to do with the place we give God in our lives—that is the ultimate choice every person on the face of the Earth has to make. One verse in the Bible that always confronts us is Matt 27:22—“What will you do with Jesus Who is called the Christ?” This is life’s greatest choice because it doesn’t
just affect us in this lifetime only; it also affects us for the life to come. The Bible presents this choice to us in many different places and many different ways. On one occasion, it came through Moses as he came down from Mount Sinai carrying the Ten Commandments. What he found was the children of Israel engaged in idolatry. They were worshipping the golden calf, because they thought Moses wasn’t going to return. When he saw them in their sinfulness he stood at the gate of the camp and said, “Who is on the Lord’s side? Let him come to me.” The ultimate choice is also seen through the experience the prophet Elijah had. Israel again had forsaken God and was worshipping Baal. On Mount Carmel, the prophet confront-
ed them with the question, “How long will you halt between two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him.” But perhaps the clearest and most forceful form of the ultimate choice came from Joshua. He has completed the Exodus Moses began. The land of Canaan had been conquered and settled. Joshua was approaching the end of his life, and once again the people were tempted to follow false gods and pagan religions. So Joshua gathered all the tribes together and reminded them of the goodness of God. He had given them a land for which they did not work. They lived in cities they did not build. They enjoyed the fruit of vineyards they did not plant. And so he challenged them with the ultimate
choice, “Choose you this day whom you will serve.” As we all make our decisions on a daily basis we need to pause and think whether we included God in what we’ve decided. He wants us to be prosperous, but He wants the first place in our lives. We need to prioritize—first God, then family, then friends, then careers and then the material things we need for the living of our lives. It’s sad that with some people the sequence is just the other way around. God is placed at the bottom of the list. That’s always a bad start—we have to live with the ultimate choice; we need to give God the best place. As we face new beginnings in our families let’s teach our children where we need to begin—with God. ◗ Rev.

Please remember, brevity is the soul of wit. ernment is not taking our demands seriously.” Well boy, that sure sounds like a five-year-old having a tantrum to me. All I have heard is government and the BCTF/teachers all just twisting the truth. Government, teachers/BCTF being self-serving. What’s new? Here’s some truth, I pay my dues but will not picket because I do not want to give the impression to parents that CUPE is on strike, and for that my own union has discriminated against me by not returning any calls or emails nor have I received even $1 in strike pay even though I pay my dues like everyone else. I was taught unions are all about fair treatment to all. Boy have I seen the light. C. McDougall Chilliwack

THE ALPHA COURSE an opportunity
WHAT IS ALPHA?
to explore the meaning of life
WHO
The Alpha course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith.
WHY
It’s relaxed, low key, friendly, and fun. There is a meal together at the beginning of each session which gives you an opportunity to get to know each other.
Listen, learn, discuss, and discover. And ask anything. Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile.
WHAT IS THE POINT OF LIFE? WHY DO PEOPLE SUFFER? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DIE? IS FORGIVENESS POSSIBLE?
WHAT, HOW?
WHAT WILL IT COST?
There is no charge for the Alpha course.
You are invited to explore the BIG questions of life... ALPHA DINNER NIGHTS Hosted by the

or two weeks to set up their rooms, it happens every single year. I also would like to point out that teachers are paid a yearly salary so really they are paid for their two weeks off in December, their two weeks off in March and their eight weeks off in July and August, so I would like to know where the “free time” is coming from, and on top of that they are getting vacation pay as well. I also would like to point out that most teachers choose to receive their pay over 10 months so they take an increased amount from Sept. to June to receive their 12-month salary over a 10-month period, others choose to take their 12-month salary over the 12 months. I have heard all the stories in the media about teachers suffering with no pay over the summer, well each and every one of you teachers should be ashamed to say such things as you all have received your pay for July and August and you know it. In Surrey our deck building (school board office) was picketed from June 16 and throughout the summer, so those people have gone without pay for two and a half months but nobody cares about that. I personally do not care for the BCTF nor do I care for this government. They are both behaving like children and they are both holding support staff, parents and students hostage. I can remember back in June a teacher picketing was interviewed by Global and she said “. . . the gov-
waters of the teachers and government disputes are the support workers. This job action/strike affects us all, yet very little attention from media or the public has been given to how support workers are affected in a strike that is not our own. Yet, we honour the teachers’ picket line, loss of wages, stability of life, this affects us all province wide. There is a ripple effect that affects even those who are not within the schools. We all pay school taxes even though we may not have children in the system. This money is allocated to teachers and students alike, it’s not to be spent on lobbying and litigation at an exorbitant price. This strike affects business, restaurants, grocery stores, clothing stores. Employees are being laid off or having hours reduced because money is not being spent—there is none to spare. We all pay the sacrifice of this strike. This province, we the people within it, are begin held hostage, not knowing what the future holds while waiting for this strike to end. Families are losing their homes for a fight they they did not ask for, yet are paying the price. Support workers have honoured teachers’ picket lines through this job action. Yet we support workers are so forgotten and lost in the muddy waters. At the end of the day all we ask is to go to work and earn our pay to simply live. E. DeCoste Chilliwack

lades hit the ice for the first time this season as the Chilliwack Chiefs got things rolling Monday with the 2014 training camp at Prospera Centre. The players had two full days of inter-squad games and fitness testing in preparation for this weekend’s exhibition games against Surrey. “Basically it’s an opportunity for players to showcase their talents and their work ethic,” said Jason Tatarnic, the Chiefs’ new head coach. After the four training camp games, Tatarnic and his staff will narrow the roster down to around 25 players. That will allow the team on Thursday to prepare for the opening exhibition series Friday and Saturday. During their exhibition weekend, the coaches will try different player combinations to find the right fit. Tatarnic, a successful coach previously with the Woodstock Slammers, isn’t the only new face on the team this year. “There are only five

fter three days of close competition, Diego San Pedro and Shirin Anjarwalla emerged as winners of the 2014 British Columbia Golf Juvenile Championships last Thursday at Royalwood golf course. Nanaimo’s Anjarwalla, 14, nurtured an early lead to finish the series with an impressive 12-under-par to secure the girls’ title. Despite her 15 birdies, the gap closed on the final day of golf as Team Canada member Naomi Ko caught up to finish a single stroke behind Anjarwalla. The final stretch was even tighter for the boys, with a one-hole playoff finish which saw 16-yearold San Pedro win the tiebreaker with a bogey. His competitor Jaewook Lee found the water hazard on his teeoff shot, giving San Pedro a lot of room to work. Both boys finished the three rounds at six strokes under par. “The talent at all of the events keeps getting better and younger as witnessed this weekend at the under-17 BC Juveniles,” said Ray

Mitchell Thiessen (centre) Edward Chen (left) and Jackson Trozzo (right), finish teeing off at hole two of Royalwood Golf Club on the final day of the 2014 BC Juvenile Championships, Aug. 28. Flynn, tournament chair. Flynn said the scores are even more impressive than they appear, given the afternoon winds that sweep Royalwood most days. On the operational side of the event, he credits a lot of community help for the success of the competition. “Tournaments like this only can run smoothly if the volunteers step up, and this year… the volunteer support was excellent,” said Flynn. Mitchell Thiessen, the sole Chilliwack representative to make the
cut, tied for 34th place. “Quite honestly, I don’t know what happened the third day, shooting an 80,” he said. “My irons and driver just weren’t working for me.” “I usually play pretty well at Royalwood, so this was a disappointing end for me.” Among Thiessen’s previous achievements this season were an individual silver and a team gold in the Nanaimo BC Summer Games in July. Both Thiessen and Flynn cite cost and travel as important fac-
tors explaining why there were few Chilliwack golfers at the event. Flynn chairs the Player Development Trust Fund, a charitable arm of BC Golf that provides assistance to boys and girls who would otherwise not be able to afford attending competitions. ◗ To see detailed results of the Juvenile tournament or make a donation to the trust fund, go to britishcolumbiagolf.org. – with files from Morgan Gibbens of British Columbia Golf

➤ From growing food at home to the politics of the ALR, The Eaten Path is an ongoing feature that looks at what we eat, how it is produced and the path our food takes to our table.
Balance and portion critical to diet success The TakeDown Challenge a ‘Biggest Loser’ style program BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com
A
s September rolls in and summer winds down— whether or not school is in session—there is a newyear feel to the days ahead. For many people it’s a time to get back to the regular life routine and maybe make some changes. So how about a diet? A “diet” as it’s usually thought of is a temporary change in calorie intake or specific food-group avoidance. And diets have been increasingly maligned over the years as temporary fixes to chronic health problems. But local personal trainer Tanja Shaw says she’s got something that works: The TakeDown Challenge (TDC) is a “Biggest Loser” type of fitness and nutrition program that has been so popular, gyms across North America are offering it. The TDC in Chilliwack is run through Shaw’s Ascend Fitness
Coaching in partnership with local registered dietitian Sharon Fast. The TDC program lasts 28 days and participants get weekly menus and nutritional advice, along with weekly weigh-ins and exercise recommendations.
With busy lives and the prevalence of fast-yet-unhealthy meal options, obesity is a persistent problem across North America. But isn’t another “diet” just a quick fix? “It all depends on how you define
‘diet,’” Shaw explains. “I think of the diet as the food I eat and the basic way that I choose foods. ‘Quick-fix diets’ will often drastically restrict calories or certain food groups, making it unsustainable for the long term. The TakeDown Challenge is based on two
principles: balance and portion sizes.” The TDC is more of a lifestyle change than a traditional diet and/or exercise program. “If you want to pick a diet plan that works, the most important factor is to find one that is sustainable for life,” Shaw says. After the TDC is over, participants can take part in a nutrition seminar to learn how to keep up the good work. And there is a friendly competition to the whole thing. During the last TDC program run by Ascend, Anne Moore finished first losing 10 per cent of her body weight. Melanie Keast was second losing 8.7 per cent, and Brian Wierks lost 20 pounds or 8.4 per cent of his body weight. Wierks stuck with the program after and has lost a total of 60 pounds. The TakeDown Challenge is designed for anyone aged 18 to 80 who want to lose weight safely and permanently. For the September edition of the local TDC, Ascend has partnered with local businesses, including Mt. Waddington’s, Edge Nutrition and Pure Life Paddle Boards to offer prizes. ◗ The next TDC starts Sept. 12 and participants have to register by Sept. 8.

HOMEBREWERS GO ON HOP RIP Darren McDonald/Special to the TIMES
Chilliwack Homebrewers’ Club battled blackberry bushes in secret locations Sunday to collect the bitter descendants of Chilliwack’s rich hop fields. Led by True North Brew Supply owner Calvin Quaite, about a dozen craft beer enthusiasts collected several pounds of hops each, ranging from Golding to Cluster and Nugget. Once picked, those hops were brewed or dried and frozen within 24 hours to preserve the unique bittering and aroma profiles specific to each variety.

will get more value out of a larger wok than a smaller one, so buy one slightly larger than you may first think. A larger wok will help to keep the food contained more easily and can be used for both small dinners as well as large. The other thing to consider before making your purchase would be to ensure that you have ample storage for your new wok. Overhead pot racks are especially handy for this predicament. I don’t find that non-stick or electric woks are the best option. Non-stick coatings are almost always smooth, there are health concerns about emitting gases from non-stick coatings over high heat, and they don’t last as long as they should. Electric woks, I find, don’t heat up enough. For traditional high heat wok cooking, one needs to be aware that many pots and pans on the market will also warp over high heat. Make sure you read the manufacturers use recommendations before purchasing to be certain. This being said, one should take care to never submerse any hot pan into water for the same reason.

Although it may be difficult to find one that is hammered out by hand, I do recommend buying a carbon steel wok and seasoning it to create a natural non-stick surface over time. They may not be as pretty to look at, but usually are of the least expensive options. They heat up very well, and will last you a lifetime if taken care of properly. Always hand wash only (no scouring pads as they will remove the seasoned surface) and dry thoroughly to prevent rusting. Accessories that you may consider purchasing for your wok would be a lid, curved bottom utensils, bamboo steamers, hand held wire strainer, and a bamboo scrubber for cleaning. To season your new carbon steel wok, wash with soap and a scrub brush, dry thoroughly, and place the wok over high heat. When it is very hot and the steel has changed colour, turn the heat to medium-low, add a tablespoon of oil, and use a compacted paper towel held with tongs to coat the entire cooking surface with the oil. Let it sit on the medium-low heat for approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Allow the wok to cool and repeat as many as three times. This “seasoning” process is only meant for carbon steel woks, not stainless steel or other types of woks.

ok cooking is obviously very popular for Asian dishes, but it can also be used for a wide variety of recipes. One may wonder what makes a wok different from an ordinary pan, and how do I choose the best one? Just like standard pots and pans, there are just as many different woks on the market to choose from. The recognizable shape of the wok is known worldwide, and this unique shape serves an important purpose. The inner cooking surface, mainly up the sides, should not be smooth. Having rough and/ or a slightly uneven surface helps to hold cooked food while the sauce is finished, or other ingredients are being cooked, in the center of the pan. Classic original woks are made out of carbon steel and hammered out by hand, and the residual indentations serve as the perfect surface to assist in doing this. The round bottoms of the wok also aid in deep-frying because it takes less oil to create a deep environment than a regular pot or pan. If you have an electric stove, you may choose to purchase a flat-bottomed wok, but even better would be to purchase a metal wok ring that sits over your electric burner and cradles a round bottom. Unless you’re always cooking for just one or two people, you

If you go Garlic Festival: Sept. 13, 14 at Fantasy Farms at 9423 Gibson Road. Tickets are $8 for adults, $7 for seniors and children, and family passes are $24.
Garlicky goodness: BY DESSA BAYROCK dbayrock@chilliwacktimes.com

ary Moran’s favourite recipe is a simple one: stuff garlic cloves into a prime rib roast and cook it slowly. “You let all that flavour suck into the meat,” he says. “It’s not too fancy.” It’s a solid, simple, meat-and-potatoes kind of meal. Or, as Moran puts it, meat-and-potatoes-and-garlic. Gary Moran and his wife are the owners and operators of Fantasy Farms—the brains behind Reaper’s Haunted Attraction, the Yard Garden and Renovation Show, A Christmas to Remember—and, last but not least, the annual Chilliwack Garlic and Rockabilly Festival, which hits the farm on Sept. 13 and 14. It’s no surprise when Moran says there’s never a shortage of garlic in their house. After all, the family has more than a few garlic-related projects on the go—including a garlic-themed cookbook and a master garlic showdown, in which local chefs compete to create the tastiest garlicky meal. More surprising is learning that they’ve only been on their garlic kick for a couple of years. Moran was inspired to start growing garlic after visiting a garlic festival in California. There were a lot of garlic growers in B.C., he reasoned—why not host a garlic festival in Chilliwack?

Chilliwack Cultural Centre
I
t’s been an eventful summer at the Cultural Centre. For a start, we hit the huge milestone of officially being recognized as one of the province’s most prominent arts presenters. This astounding achievement couldn’t have been reached without the ever-increasing support and patronage of our community, and provides yet more evidence of the importance and demand for access to arts and culture in communities such as ours. With this unbelievable growth and support in the relatively short period since opening our doors back in 2010, we think the future is looking bright for the arts in our city as we approach our fifth season this fall. We’re especially excited to announce that our 2014/15 season will be our most adventurous and entertaining yet. Featuring comedy, theatre, kids’ shows, magic, music concerts and more, the Cultural Centre offers the chance to experience more live performances in Chilliwack than ever before. From the spectacular venue of the HUB International Theatre, where you can sit back and appreciate a first-class auditorium, to my personal favourite: The Rotary Hall Studio Theatre, with its intimate ambience that is just perfect for those up-close-and-personal shows, the Chilliwack Cultural Centre has it all. As we reflect on the exciting opportunities to catch live entertainment that the Centre offers, it would be impossible not to remember the great shows that came to Chilliwack last season. From the rollicking musical fun of The Official Blues Brothers Revue, to the adrenaline fuelled Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival and the quirky, insightful humour of Grim and Fischer, our guests have laughed, cried, and applauded their way through the last 12 months. We’ve got all this and more on the cards for our upcoming season, so
whether you’re a regular at our shows or are yet to come and check out the Cultural Centre, you’ll be excited to find even more top-class entertainment right on your doorstep. Getting the season off to a spirited start was the Canadian country star Lisa Brokop. Born in Surrey, but now living down in Memphis, Tenn., Lisa celebrated her career’s 20th anniversary with an evening of country tunes on Sept. 3; a night planned to be steeped in rustic charm and fantastic music. Next in the calendar (and a personal favourite) is the Fraser Valley Culture and Craft Beer Festival. This one is sure to be a huge crowd-pleaser, especially considering that we have an amazing eight more breweries coming along than we had for last year’s sold-out installment, meaning there’ll be more than 60 beers to be sampled (although don’t consider that a challenge!). Following our hugely successful Art of Wine festival in May, this event will be an awesome chance for us beer-lovers to get in on the fun and taste what British Columbia’s thriving craft brewery industry has to offer.

Mishaps, mischief and marriage BY DESSA BAYROCK dbayrock@chilliwacktimes.com
E
ven the best-laid plans can go horribly and hilariously awry—a theme at the core of a play hitting the Rotary Hall stage at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre this month. For Groom The Bell Tolls runs from Sept. 10 to 14, and centres on a wedding chock-a-block full of errors, mixed messages, and ulterior motives. “Anyone who’s been to a wedding knows it never goes the way it’s supposed to,” director Richard Ogilvie says with a grin. And after attending a wedding where a fistfight broke out, the theme of wedding mishaps was lodged firmly in his mind. Next thing he knew, he was writing a script that pushed Murphy’s law to the max. “I tried to make their stories intertwine as much as possible,” Ogilvie says with a laugh. The best man is in love with the bride.
The maid of honour moons over the bride’s father. Another bridesmaid is bent on a relationship with the bride’s brother. In the middle of the romantic entanglements, two people are just trying to get married. And, of course, nothing goes as planned. “I don’t think anyone’s been to a wedding that went perfectly,” Ogilvie explains. “I just thought of this catastrophic wedding where people are trying to pull together, and the bride’s oblivious to what’s falling down around her.” It’s a mess, Ogilvie says, but it’s a hoot—much like the process the play went through before finally reaching the stage. It was his first crack at writing a play, and after eight months of writing, rewriting, and revising, he looked around the theatre community to find someone willing to see it through to the stage. The first theatre company he approached never saw the script. The second was enthusiastic
about producing the show, but had financial difficulty and folded before they even reached the audition stage. “So then I had this play that was sitting here, that people were interested in… but I had no theatre company backing,” Ogilvie says. And for a show about the mishaps of marriage, the answer ironically came from his wife. “She said, ‘Do it yourself!’” he says. “So I went to friends I had in the theatre community, and I was able to secure some wonderful assistance.” After successful auditions in May, rehearsals started in full swing—but the obstacles weren’t over. The run dates were originally booked on the G.W. Graham stage, but when teachers went on strike in the spring Ogilvie was told he no longer had access to the stage. But luckily the Chilliwack Cultural Centre was there to pick up the slack. With a small tweak to show dates and a little reorganization,
the show was booked into the Rotary Hall stage—this time for good. “I refer to it as the little show that could,” Ogilvie says, “because it doesn’t seem like anything can stop us.” And throughout all obstacles, the actors have been busy bringing his characters to life. “They’re literally crafting the characters for the very first time, and seeing that transformation from page to stage is unbelievable,” he says. Because after all, no matter how much muss, fuss, and hassle an event like a theatre production— or a wedding—goes through, there might just be a happy ending. ◗ The show opens on Sept. 10 with an after-show cast meet, greet, and gala on Sept. 11. It runs until Sept. 14, with matinee showings on Sept. 13 and 14. Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for students and seniors. Visit www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca for tickets, or call 604-394-7469.

Valdy returns with folk and herons BY DESSA BAYROCK Chilliwack Times
“E
ven after 44 years of touring, I’m still discovering new places to go to, and friends I haven’t met yet,” Valdy says. The folk singer just celebrated his 69th birthday this week, but it doesn’t look like anything will slow him down. He’s received two Juno awards and been awarded the Order of Canada. And this Friday, he’s heading to Chilliwack. “I’m a performer, I think, in my soul. I can touch people’s hearts on occasion. And once you get a taste of performance, it’s almost like an addiction.” He’ll be performing in the Chilliwack Cultural Centre Rotary Hall on Sept. 5—quite a change from his “salad bowl days,” as he puts it, when he would play to thousands of
people in giant venues. But he says moving to smaller spaces is a welcome change. “You can connect with people a lot better on a smaller scale,” he says with a smile. This particular concert is in support of the Great Blue Heron Reserve. The birds have been close to Valdy’s heart since he became involved with saving a heron rookery out near Tsawwassen. And the song he wrote about that effort—”The Rookery”—might just be on the docket for his Chilliwack show. With 14 albums to draw from, there’s no shortage of material to bring to the stage—and that doesn’t include new material. ◗ Catch Valdy Sept. 5 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $30.

But coach isn’t giving up on season
fter finishing a break from their weekly schedule, the Chilliwack Valley Huskers are back to work with a longer week of practice in preparation for their next road game in Nanaimo against the VI Raiders. The team took last week off of practice, allowing many of the players to return home to visit family. “I’m hoping mentally it gives them a rest and they come back here invigorated,” said Moe Agagnier, Huskers’ general manager. It’s a rest the 0-5 team needs. Agagnier said he made a mistake putting together such a young inexperienced team. The team has fifteen beginning players, which is many more 17-year-olds than a typical team would have. “Saying that, I’m still going to fight hard to try and develop our players,” said Agagnier. “We’re not giving up by any means.”
Whereas in the two previous the team could become competiyears the team was down to almost tive in the league. Agagnier refuses to talk about half its roster at this point in the season, this year the Huskers have held next season, having said he wanted a team that would compete this ranks. In keeping with a strategy of year. “Now we’re going to pare down player retention, Agagnier also said to who are the starters and the team will not release we’re going to really work players upon request as hard with them instead they have in previous of trying to fit people into years. places,” he said. “How do we build The team’s top running a team if we keep on back Benedict Muhima releasing them as soon as returns healthy this week, they get a bit better?” he and the coaches have a asked.

Chilliwack Giants Game Report
Andersen and Lucas Feaver. Coach Ian Parks said, “The score wasn’t reflective of what happened on the field. The play was much closer than that, and our players learned a lot from it.”
Flag
The Chilliwack Giants had eight flag teams play on Aug. 30 for week one of the season. While five of the Giants teams hosted three Meadow Ridge Knights teams at Townsend Park, two went to Langley to play the Bears and one went to play the Abbotsford Falcons. Each week, the Chilliwack Giants feature one of their eight teams. For week one, it was the Navy Giants flag team. They played Meadow Ridge Gold. Touchdowns were scored by Matteo Reid (2), Tristan Frick, & Elijah Reid. Great defence was played by Evan Fawcett, Ben Graff, Rylan Parks and Lawson Dades.
Atom
On Aug. 30 at Townsend Park, the Chilliwack Giants started the season with Red and Blue facing off against each other in the Atom division. Blues Tyler Kelly started the scoring by hauling in a pass in the endzone from Lucas Feaver. Kelly added a pair of two-point conversions as well. Red QB Deaglan Perry ran 35 yards for Red’s first touchdown of the game, and again near the end of the fourth quarter. But it wasn’t enough, as game MVP Kenyan Reid scored on a 40-yard run, followed by Wyatt Stobbs’ TD on the ground to seal the win for Blue, 22-12. Atom Blue Sept. 1 saw a tough loss for the Chilliwack Blue Giants who lost to the Meadow Ridge Knights 32-0. On offence, Aljohn Lazarte and Gavin Parks led the way with fantastic blocks. Kenyan Ried and Carter Dallas took advantage of those blocks, and had some great runs for first downs. On defence, LB Pierson Capstick had some great pursuits and tackles. There was also excellent pressure by defensive linemen Kaden
Atom White
Despite their best efforts Chilliwack Atom White fell short to Mission on Sept. 1 with a final score of 36-6. Mission scored most of their points in the first half but were unable to continue the run through the second as Chilliwack stepped up their game, tying them for the second half. Great defensive skills were shown by Ryder Stoughton, Daylan Laszlo and Yapo “The Pancake Machine” Conte. The team is ready to apply what they learned to their next matchup.
Peewee Red
Chilliwack Giants Peewee Red started the regular season Saturday with a win against the Mission Niners. Special teams shone for Red with many key plays notably the kickoff team recoveries of two onside kicks. Defence played tight team football with numerous tackles behind the line of scrimmage. QB sacks were served up by Daniel King, Theo Smith and Raiden Mastin. Defence also had an interception by Logan Buchwitz. Red offence was unstoppable, scoring on every drive thanks to a great effort by the team’s offensive linesmen. Touchdowns were scored by Logan Buchwitz, Kieran Bearchell, Ken Mussell, Jaxon Visser and Theo Smith. The final score was 45-0 for Giants Red.
Junior Bantam Monday afternoon Chilliwack’s Junior Bantam giants battled Meadow Ridge White in a hardfought game winning 17-8. The Giants opened the scoring in the first quarter when Meadow Ridge surrendered a safety following a 40-yard punt by Justin Crooks from Chilliwack. The score remained 2-0 until early in the third quarter. Trei
Lindstrom made a 30-yard pass to Nicholas Butler for a touchdown. After Meadow Ridge scored a touchdown of their own, Chilliwack running back Jot Buttar scored on a 25-yard run breaking many tackles on his way to put the game out of reach. Chilliwack’s defense closed the door from there to seal the victory.
Bantam
Tynan Ackah-Sanzah picked up the first TD of the season with a 15-yard run up the middle of the field. In response, the Tigers were able to put points on the board in three plays and made a two-point conversion. Strong first half efforts were made by the Giants defence, as well as sensational efforts by the offensive line, The half time score was 8-6, North Surrey. The Giants went back to their running game with consistent efforts by Tynan Ackah-Sanzah and Gabriel Olivares. With eight minutes left in the game, the deluge of rain and points begin. Gabriel Olivares dove into the end zone with a quarterback keeper twice in the final quarter. The Giants won 20-8.

Midget
The Chilliwack Giants Midget team opened up on the road this weekend in Delta against the Longhorns. The Giants’ opening drive had them march down the field led by rookie QB Riley Clayton with a 4-yard run into the endzone. The first half of the game was a solid defensive battle, ending 7-6 Giants. In the second half the Giants turned it up to open with a TD pass to Trey Isaac to put the Giants up 14-6. Solid defence by Grayson Marquardt and an interception by Jace Harden put the Giants in scoring range again. The next major was run in by Thomas Heuser putting the Giants up 21-6. To cap off a great second half QB Riley Clayton threw three huge passes to Ben Richards to score a TD to finish the game at 28-6.
