Shotgun held to his head

Home invaders hit wrong house, then stole vehicle & injured a cop

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

he mother of the 25-year-old victim of an armed home invasion Saturday in Chilliwack say the incident was a case of mistaken identity. And mom is angry. “I want to see these guys locked up,” she said in an interview Tuesday. “I want to see justice served the way it should be.” The victim himself said he’s just glad the two suspects were caught and the community is safer. “I’m glad they are off the street and that the weapon is recovered and that they can’t harm themselves or anyone else,” he said. (The Times is not using the family’s names to protect them.) While Chilliwack RCMP reported they believe the home invasion on Brentwood Drive was targeted, the Times has learned the suspects were at the wrong address. The registered ow ner of the home one block over that was the alleged target of the home invasion is known to police and has faced drug trafficking and animal cruelty charges in the past.

Who Cares? Voter apathy hit an all-time low last election. Why doesn’t Chilliwack vote? BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

hy didn’t you vote for city council in the last election? While statistics show that just 17.5 per cent of eligible voters in Chilliwack bothered to cast a ballot in local elections in 2011, that number isn’t important. If percentages don’t work for you, know that just 9,343 residents of Chilliwack out of an eligible 53,402 voted to decide exactly who should be in charge

of a $100-million budget. But more important than the number of people who did vote is the number who did not: 82.5 per cent, or 44,059 eligible voters didn’t bother to cast a ballot in 2011. What’s wrong with this picture? “It’s bad,” says University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) political science professor Hamish Telford. Voter turnout at all levels of government has been on the decline in Canada since the early 1990s and, in the U.S.,

since the 1970s. Harken back to 1988, a year with a historic high in Canadian voter turnout thanks to the national discussion over free trade. The 1993 election, too, had good turnout, but that’s when the descent began, according to Telford. “In the U.S., the drop-off happened about 20 years earlier, after Watergate,” he told the Times in an interview this week. { See WHO CARES?, page A3 }

“One of the things we have noticed at all levels is the more competitive the race, the better the turnout.” - Hamish Telford

{ WHO CARES?, from page A1 } That Canadian federal voter turnout peak in the late ‘80s was about 75 per cent, a number that has fallen to more like 60 per cent in recent elections. Most provincial elections hover around 50 per cent turnout, with B.C. at the lower end along with Alberta and Ontario. As for municipal elections across Canada, turnout tends to be around 30 per cent, Telford says. Thirty per cent. That would be a stop-the-presses, good news moment in Chilliwack. Other than the 2,826 out of 20,219 (or 14 per cent) of Langford, B.C., voters who ticked a box in 2011, Chilliwack had the worst voter turnout in the province. The city with the closest population, Maple Ridge, had 25 per cent turnout, or 12,809 out of 51,202 eligible voters. Surrey also had 25 per cent, for the second largest city in B.C., out of 279,051 voters. In White Rock 30 per cent came out. Same in Pitt Meadows and Mission. In Vancouver, 144,823 out of 418,878 eligible voters cast a ballot; 34.6 per cent.

riday is the end of the nomination period for the 2014 election for Chilliwack city council, School District 33, Cultus Lake Park Board and Fraser Valley Regional District directors for Area D, E and H.

Sara Connell nurses 28-month-old Orion and three-month-old Skye at the annual Chilliwack Breastfeeding Challenge held at CSS on Saturday. Chilliwack finished first in the world in the international event.

Uncontested mayor’s position demotivated voters Down the road in Abbotsford, 39.2 per cent voted, but that “high rate” was because of a referendum on the ballot, according to Telford. “People were motivated by the P3 referendum on the water project,” he said. “If there are other things on the agenda, that can motivate turnout.” Overall in British Columbia in 2011, just 29.55 per cent of eligible voters turned out, and that excludes 12 communities with fully acclaimed councils. That means more than 70 per cent of voters across the province were too disinterested/cynical/ignorant/lazy/ angry to vote for mayors, councillors, regional district directors, school board trustees and park board commissioners. Remarkable and, some say, shameful. So what’s wrong with the rest of us? Telford says it is somewhat a mystery, but there are certainly a number of known factors. First off, there is the penetration of the national media, which renders local issues less important than issues that we see on the 6 o’clock news: ter-

Here’s a list of candidates so far who have announced directly to the paper, or who we have been found on social media:

Chilliwack - Mayor Sharon Gaetz (incumbent) Cam Hull Councillor Sue Attrill (incumbent) Phill Bruce Brigida Crosbie

rorism, disease and scandal stick more in voters’ heads than rezoning, bus service and garbage collection. And while that’s not a reality for those who are engaged in civic life, it is for those who sit on the fence or for those who are, well, barely engaged. “Local news just doesn’t get to as many people who are not paying attention,” Telford says. Another reason for low voter turnout is the simple fact that the more tax you pay, the more you feel invested. Which means non-property owners in municipalities tend not to vote, although they overlook all the critical issues addressed by local governments, well beyond roads and infrastructure: i.e., policing, fire protection, homelessness, etc. A third simple issue for Telford is who, or more accurately, how many, is/are on the ballot. “One of the things we have noticed at all levels is the more competitive the race, the better the turnout,” he says. “This points to the last municipal election in Chilliwack where the mayors position was uncontested. It did not Dick Harrington Mike Kha Jason Lum (incumbent) Ken Popove (incumbent) Phillip Maxwell Sam Waddington Richard Williams

motivate a lot of people to get out to vote.” A final reason for low voter turnout for Telford is simply that in an age of smart phones and social media, people are distracted by other things. Particularly younger people. Telford said he taught three classes on Canadian politics last term—probably 110 students—and as a big, bad professor he made his students read a national newspaper, either the National Post or the Globe and Mail. “I asked how many of them are regular readers and out of 110 there was one, a senior citizen,” he said. “That was it.” Telford said young people choose to use their devices for other purposes. “Not many of them are on Twitter and if they are, they are following Justin Bieber not you or me or Andrew Coyne.” So what’s the solution? Telford doesn’t offer an easy one. Civic engagement, however it’s done, is critical. The nomination period for the 2014 local government elections ends on Friday. The election is Nov. 15.

Why do people vote or not vote? We asked and here are a few responses: Michelle Shannon: “I’m 25 and I always vote in federal/provincial elections. I will be voting in the local election this November, but I do wish we had more options.” Marissa Wood: “Voting is a privilege that is too often wasted, especially at the municipal level because voters don’t realize that it’s our municipalities that are fighting for us on the provincial and federal levels. As a naturalized Canadian it is my duty to vote . . . that’s why I became a citizen.” Barbara Elford: “I vote out of guilt— my mother drilled ‘civic duty’ into our heads. I do try to be as informed about who will receive my vote but I must confess, I am often disappointed with who ever wins an election.” Lydia Bruinink Langbroek: Voted in every election since May 22, 1979 Federal election. Was privileged to get to vote on my 18th birthday and enjoyed the victory of the party that I voted for. A true privilege that all Canadians should embrace.

He also spent 20 years in the classroom. “That’s about 41 years I’ve been directly involved in public education, so it’s someone else’s turn,” McKay said. The highlight of those years according to McKay: watching the children learn and grow. “That’s who we really represent— our job is to represent kids and their

parents,” he said. McKay has no set plans except to travel with his wife and reflect on his years in public education. Incumbents who have announced their candidacy include board chair Walt Krahn, vice-chair Silvia Dyck and trustees Heather Maahs and Dan Coulter. They are joined by firsttime candidate Paul McManus and former trustee John-Henry Harter. The candidate nomination period ends Friday at 4 p.m.

teeth are missing. These metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. Small posts that protrude through the gums are then attached to the implant. These posts provide stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth.

Cryptic note may hold clue to Scherbey death BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

he already mysterious case of a Chilliwack man’s death got all the more mysterious with an anonymous note left at his parents’ house. Distraught with grief over their loss, and frustration at the official RCMP finding of a drug overdose, Ed and Gladys Scherbey have worked for three years to find out what really happened to their son Corey. They have hired lawyers, contacted the Mounties, registered formal complaints. With the recent note, the Scherbeys’ claims that Corey was murdered looks less far-fetched than ever. “Shakepeare [sic] said: ‘Hell hath no fury than a woman scorned,’” the typewriter-written note started. “That’s the kind of homicide is [sic] was, a scorned woman! Those who know who it was, belong to too tight a group to say a word! “I think your son Corey decided too late to ‘back off’ and it jeopardized his well-being—his life!” The note was signed “a Reader of The CHWK Times.” The note also came with a photocopied Times story from August with a highlighted sentence: “It was definitely a homicide of some kind,” Gladys said. “Somebody has to know something.” It was Aug. 22, 2011 when Gladys walked into the living room of Corey’s

Fairfield Island house only to find the 38-year-old dead on the sofa, surrounded by blood. Cpl. Derek Santosuosso of the Chilliwack RCMP found no signs of trauma, no sign of a struggle and no signs of forced entry. A pathologist determined the cause of death to be “acute combined cocaine and ethanol intoxication.” Case closed. But the Scherbeys persisted, insist-

ing their son didn’t do drugs and there were just too many unanswered questions, questions that are growing by the weeks, months and now years. This latest note only cements their already steadfast sense that Corey was murdered. Then there is the curious case of Tammy Bourdon, a high school friend of Corey’s who arrived at the Scherbeys’ door early one morning after his death. Banging on the door, Bourdon

woke them up and told the couple that she knew Corey was killed over money and drugs, but she couldn’t tell them who was involved because she feared for her life. She told the Scherbeys this on more than one occasion. A source close to the family, who asked not to be named, told the Times Bourdon spoke to her and said if the people responsible for Corey’s death knew she was talking, she would be the next to die.

Bourdon did die on Feb. 3, 2012, of blood poisoning after cutting her finger. Then there is the fact that the renter in Corey’s basement said nothing about what had to be a horrific smell that weekend as Corey’s body decomposed in the summer heat. And there is the mystery woman seen the Friday before the weekend when he died who has never been seen again. The family has the name of an ex-girlfriend they think was responsible for Corey’s death. The woman reportedly acted strange at the funeral, and had acted jealous and violent over the years, and even had connections to organized crime. The police have been told all these things, yet the family says they have been rebuffed and ignored. The Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP reviewed the file and has requested Mounties conduct a further investigation into the case. The Sherbeys were told they would be notified when a review was completed, but they haven’t heard back yet. On Sept. 17, NDP MP Randall Garrison, official opposition critic for public safety, submitted a letter on behalf of the Scherbeys to the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP asking that a progress report be provided to the Scherbeys “as quickly as possible.”

Don’t let apathy tarnish the day

◗ Publisher

ur numbers are shameful. There’s no other way to put it. A mere 17.5 per cent of the eligible voters in this community chose to make their mark in the last municipal election (see our front page story). That means more than 44,000 voters simply couldn’t be bothered to participate in that which we have fought wars to protect. Sure, the last municipal election wasn’t a barn burner. The lack of a mayor’s race certainly kept some away from the polls. But that less than 10,000 of the more than 53,000 eligible voters bothered to cast a ballot is disturbing—at best. There is no other level of government that affects citizens as intimately as municipal government. Locally, the folks we elect are entrusted to manage a $100 million budget—your taxpayer dollars. Surely that is motivation enough. We will endeavour to inform you as best we can about the candidates. We ask that you also inform yourselves as best you can about the candidates and the issues. Those who have shown the courage to let their name stand in an election deserve better than our apathy.

Want smarter government? Focus it

urray Smith, a former Alberta cabinet minister in the Ralph Klein government, the one that privatized government liquor stores and licence registries in 1993, once told me about a side benefit of such divestments (and I paraphrase): fewer distractions, which led to more focused government. That post-privatization, provincial politicians would have two less items about which a constituent might complain—lineups at licence registries and liquor store prices—might seem trivial. After all, there are plenty of additional matters a politician might be overwhelmed by on a daily basis. Leaving the question of focus aside for a moment, there are, of course, other, practical, reasons to privatize government-run businesses and Crown corporations: More efficient businesses, more accurate pricing, competition for consumer dollars (and thus better service), and the end of taxpayer subsidies. Thus, starting in the late 1970s but especially in the 1980s and 1990s, governments around the world, of all political stripes and persuasions, wound down and sold off businesses. They did so because it never made

MARK MILKE Be Our Guest economic sense for governments to own and run railways, airlines, telephone, and energy companies, among other businesses. For example, consider the once federally-owned railway, Canadian National (privatized in 1995 under the Liberal government of Jean Chretien). As the Railway Association of Canada has noted, “there was a progressive increase in government and public awareness of the need to introduce more market forces in order to encourage self-sufficiency, competitiveness and efficiency.” Beyond the provable benefits of privatization, Smith’s observation highlights the value of focus. Why should politicians and civil servants employ a more focused approach? Because the cash collected and disbursed on our behalf is significant. In 2012/13, Canadian governments were a $738 billion Leviathan (based on spending by all levels of government).

Obviously, with numbers that large, it doesn’t take much inattention to misallocate a billion here or there. Soon, as the cliché goes, we’re talking real money. When governments attempt too much, or individual politicians believe their mandate too broad, they inevitably lose track of items under their control. One example: Alberta’s newest premier Jim Prentice wants to bring retail electricity rates down. In a recent interview the premier remarked that “we have been paying more for our electricity, in my view, than we should be,” citing power price spikes as a problem. He pledged to get to the bottom of it. Except we already know the reason for power price spikes. When they occur, they are a warning signal that demand is about to outstrip the immediately available supply. That price signal is akin to those overhead highway signs that inform drivers of ice conditions ahead (so slow down). Mute the price signal or turn off the sign and you’ve abandoned the early warning system. (Besides, the permanent remedy to higher prices is not political interference but more supply.)

Rather than meddle in the electricity market after tens of billions of dollars have been invested, there are matters on which the new premier could focus his energy. One obvious item where his government has direct responsibility: the soaring cost of government sector pensions in Alberta. Over the past decade, most Alberta government-defined benefit pension plans have either required a doubling of contribution rates, bailouts, or both. That was and is costly for the general public. This situation reveals a decades-long lack of attention to, and reform of, the benefit sides of such plans. Regrettably, the new premier just abandoned planned pension reforms in September—though one hopes, not permanently. There are multiple reasons why governments choose the policy paths they do. Political survival is perhaps the most obvious explanation. But as with any organization, divesting of unnecessary businesses, projects and tasks that are off-mission helps sharpen the focus. That matters if one cares about smarter, more effective government. ◗ Mark Milke is a Senior Fellow at the Fraser Institute. Twitter: @MilkeMark

Trudeau missing the boat on the threat ISIS presents Editor: The speech by Justin Trudeau in the House of Commons regarding Canada’s participation in the fight against ISIS and global terrorism has to be an embarrassment to all true Canadians. The threat posed by the Muslim radical group ISIS is not a joke or something that can be dealt with by applying feel good measures. The ISIS organization controls or dominates an area of Iraq and Syria that is three times the size of the province of New Brunswick and involves a population of approximately five million people. They have taken control of several oil fields and refineries and, if the reports are correct, are selling millions of dollars worth of oil on world markets. They rule by brutality and fear and the atrocities they have carried out on a monstrous scale are shocking. According to ISIS news releases Canada is one of their targets. If Justin Trudeau had any understanding of the magnitude of the ISIS threat he would be asking Prime Minister Stephen Harper to do more. This is a major issue with a host of complexities that western nations must combat forcefully and in unison. I fear that if we do not take a very strong position now and ISIS continues to gain strength we may end up

Powerful play and message Editor: I’ve heard of the play Avenue Q, but it wasn’t until I read the letter from the Gardiners (Oct. 2 Chilliwack Times), that I found out that this play will lead to the “destruction of civilization.” Now I can’t wait to see it! On behalf of all us Chilliwackos, I want to thank the Gardiners for letting us all know just how powerful this play is. Pat Maclou Chilliwack

MP, MLA so very helpful Editor: In these times when most people are bashing political parties and politicians, I feel I must put in a good word to our own

Mark Strahl and Laurie Throness and their respective staff members (especially Jeremy, Kyle and Gabrielle). I have had occasion recently to deal with these federal and provincial representatives and on every occasion my question or concern was answered right away and pleasantly. The offices of both Mr. Strahl and Mr. Throness were quick to get back to me with suggestions and answers to my questions and I am very impressed with their prompt action. I honestly expected my questions to sit in an inbox until someone had a couple of spare minutes but no, in every case a pleasant person either answered my question or directed me to the correct agency who promptly handled my issue. Often I have heard negative comments about our elected officials but my elected officials have only served me extremely well. Keep up the great work. It is a pleasure dealing with you and I thank you from the bottom of my

heart for listening to me and helping me out. Andrea Dunphy Chilliwack

Let’s build up mining sector Editor: Recent events have prompted a lot of discussion about mining in B.C. lately. I have seen many letters, articles, comments/discussions online and even heard from friends who have concerns and think that maybe we don’t need mining in B.C. I find this very disconcerting. Mining and exploration are critical to sustaining our provincial economy and creating jobs. Mining, and the businesses that service the mining and other resource industries, are the real job creators in this province. The mining sector alone has the potential to create 17,000 new jobs in the coming years while the mineral exploration sector could create another 4,000 jobs. Not only does mining and exploration activity create jobs, in 2011 alone it generated $10 billion worth of economic activity in B.C. and provided $800 million worth of revenue for the government. The mining sector helps to generate the revenue the provincial government needs in order to be able to spend on the services that we, as citizens,

need and want. Rather than shooting ourselves in the foot by hinting that we should shut it down, let’s find ways to address concerns and make the industry even better than it is today. Jessica Verheyden North Vancouver

A stronger punishment Editor: In the aftermath of some terrible shootings and killings one wonders

how these incidents can be reduced, and those responsible properly punished. Secular humanism is ruling the roost but let us consider a real alternative. Every time there is some outrage the government is called upon to do “something.” Why are there so many murders and other serious offences? Could it be that the punishments for these crimes are far too lenient and the misfits who carry out these acts have no fear because of

the soft punishments handed out by the courts? When capital punishment was on the books for murder, would-be murderers would have thought hard and long before carrying out their crimes. Instead of putting murderers in jail for a few years, to later be released and re-offend, serious consideration should be given to the re-introduction of capital punishment. Jay Nauss Chilliwack

i there, I see you looking. If you’re not in too much of a hurry I’d like to tell you a story, a tale if you will. It’s a tale about a gift, two gifts actually. Brittany was 15 at the time and in love with the idea of having something to take care of. Like many young girls she dreamed of owning a horse—riding it, grooming it, feeding and generally taking care of it. However, like for most girls, owning a horse was more a fantasy than a reality so she settled for something smaller, a puppy. Brittany researched the different breeds, learning about their temperaments, sizes, and exercise requirements and after much deliberation decided on a Yorkshire terrier. Christmas was coming soon, so Brittany’s

A tale of two gifts mother looked conscientiously for a reputable breeder. They located the perfect one and after a bit of planning, much expense and a short plane ride, girl meets puppy under the Christmas tree. Falling in love, they lived happily ever after. The end. Actually, I wish that was the end but it’s not. Not long after the puppy entered our lives, something very unexpected happened. Somebody gave Brittany a horse. No, not a rocking horse, but a living, breathing, eating and thrill producing horse. She was ecstatic while her mother and I were stunned.

Numb actually. We certainly were grateful for the generosity, I mean how many people have a horse given to their daughter, but we were in a state of shock realizing the commitment that owning an animal of this size would be. A horse would require much time and lots of money. Brittany dived in, and to her credit, took on the responsibility like a champ. But soon something changed. In all her excitement and busyness with the horse she soon began to forget about the puppy. It fell more and more to her mother and I to assume the care for Gracie as she was now called. The time and energy required

looking after the horse meant that she began to lose interest and neglect Gracie who once used to bring her so much joy and fulfillment. Instead of allowing her heart to expand and embrace both gifts she ended up choosing one over the other. This is where this story intersects with all of our lives. We all have people in our lives that deserve our attention and need our love but this life we live can be crazy busy. Expectations of others or the ones we put on ourselves often force us to make decisions about who gets a piece of us and who’s left holding an empty plate. Is there someone in your life trying to survive living off your crumbs? Maybe it’s a spouse, a son or daughter? Our friendships or perhaps even our relationship with God can take direct hits when we lose sight of what’s really important to us. Here’s the thing. Brittany is all

grown up now, married and the mother of my two grandchildren. Her mother and I have watched how she’s embraced a husband, two children and yet her love for her extended family hasn’t diminished. The capacity of her heart to love grew and stretched with the responsibilities that she now carries. It’s an amazing thing to watch the human heart grow. I promise that yours can grow too. It’s been a long time since the horse left our lives but guess who I’m still chasing when she escapes from our yard? Gracie the Yorkie. A happy and rewarding life you will have if the people who need you, who are counting on you, have your time, your heart and your love. ◗ Craig Byers pastors Ke ystone Church and can be reached at me@ craigbyers.ca.

Gwen Point has been named the new chancellor for the University of the Fraser Valley, replacing outgoing chancellor Brian Minter.

Former Chatelaine now named UFV Chancellor

r. Gwendolyn Point will be the new Chancellor of the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV). Point will take over from Dr. Brian Minter, who was UFV’s first Chancellor and served two terms stretching from 2008 to 2014. She will be installed as Chancellor at a ceremony in the coming months. The new Chancellor-elect has a connection to the Fraser Valley that stretches back decades. She started her engagement with what was then Fraser Valley College in the early 1980s when she and her husband Steven (former Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia and now a B.C. provincial court judge) took university-level courses there. From Fraser Valley College student to member of the University College of the Fraser Valley board of governors, to UFV assistant professor, Point’s career and educational journey has paralleled the development of UFV from college to university. Her experience as Chatelaine of the Province of British Columbia—the title given to the spouse of the Lieutenant Governor—will serve her well when performing the ceremonial aspects of the UFV Chancellor role. The Chancellor is the ceremonial head of the university o and serves as a member of the board of governors and the senate. Point will also preside over convocation conferring degrees, diplomas, and certificates, and serve as an ambassador for UFV at major events. The Chancellor is appointed by the UFV board of governors upon the recommendation of the alumni association and consultation with the UFV senate. “The UFV board of governors is delighted to welcome Dr. Gwen Point as

UFV’s next Chancellor,” said UFV board chair Barry Delaney. “Dr. Point has been part of UFV since our early days as Fraser Valley College. She knows us well and epitomizes our commitment to quality education, student success and regional development. We are extremely fortunate to have Gwen serve as UFV’s next Chancellor.” “I am very pleased to be working with Dr. Point,” said UFV president and vice-chancellor Mark Evered. “She brings a unique balance of community and university experience, leadership and understanding. She has served our university as a teacher, a scholar, an administrator, and a board member, has held a number of offices in government, including the senior office of Chatelaine, and is a passionate leader, mentor, and role model in our community. She will be an outstanding addition to UFV.” Currently, Point is an assistant professor in the School of Social Work at UFV, and teaches First Nations Studies courses, including Stó:lo Nation Development, and Stó:lo Communications and World View. She will be resigning her position as a faculty member at UFV in order to take on the voluntary Chancellor role. “It is a real honour to be asked and a privilege to take on this role,” said Point, a member of the Skowkale First Nation who lives in Chilliwack. “I started my post-secondary education here and I was very grateful for the access it provided at the time. It was wonderful to not have to leave home to get an education. It was a very special experience when I returned here to teach full time in 2005. Now becoming Chancellor and playing a leadership role at UFV sends a message that dreams do come true and good things do happen.”

Long history between teams

ime for a pop quiz, no Googling permitted. Which BCHL team is the longest continuously run franchise in the BCHL? Which team had the first player ever drafted directly into the NHL? Final answers please . . . if you said the Merritt Centennials you are correct, give yourself a high five. The Cents began their BCJHL operations in 1974 and in 1976 Greg Agar was selected in the 10th round, 162nd overall by the NHL team that boasted some unreal white skates, the California Golden Seals. Feel free to google the Golden Seals images of their skates and funky uniforms. Merritt will be the opponent of the Chiefs this Friday at 7 p.m. at Prospera Centre. From the did-you-know file: Rich Brew who was a former director of hockey operations for the Chiefs, played for Merritt, from 1986-89; Eddie Beers, a one-time Chiefs head coach and GM, is a former Merritt player; and the Chiefs and Centennials have locked horns in the playoffs a few times. In 1990-91, Chilliwack’s inaugural season in the BCJHL, Joey Potskin, Marc Gagnon and the crew defeated Merritt in six games in a semifinal matchup and in 1995-96 the Chiefs defeated the Cents in a fivegame playoff series. And one final note on Merritt and their hockey history, one of the largest blockbusters in the history of Junior A Hockey hap-

Barry Douglas Chiefs Report pened in the 1993-94 season when the Cents traded Bill Muckalt and Joey Rybar to the powerhouse Kelowna Rockets. The following season, in ’94-’95, Chilliwack would upset Kelowna on the way to the Chiefs first ever BCJHL championship. The Chiefs and Cents hooked up once this season already, at the Bauer BCHL Showcase last month, as Luke McColgan tallied a goal and an assist in a 2-1 Chilliwack victory. Luke Pierce, who was born and raised in Merritt, and is the club’s head coach and general manager, has once again put together a very hard working competitive squad that had only allowed eight goals in its first six games. So we are expecting another tight, fast skating, physical hockey game. This Friday’s contest will feature a performance by a local Cheam Skating member and we will have a live band on the 89.5 The Drive Stage. There is a new promotion this season, the Best Western Minor Hockey Moment, which highlights a minor hockey player on the video screen. For a chance to be featured please email a one or two sentence description of your son or daughter along with a photo to info@chilliwackchiefs. net.

Speed skater enters season fit and reenergized BY JEFF MACKINNON Special to the Times

Stephen Maunder photo

Janssens competing at the outdoor Canada Cup in Saskatoon on Jan. 25.

lec Janssens spent a tough but enjoyable summer on the water and now has renewed enthusiasm for the upcoming winter on the ice. The 23-year-old Chilliwack native has returned for his third season of international senior long track speed skating after spending the summer training with both the University of Victoria and National Development Centre rowing teams. “I think it was a really, really good thing to step back from (speed skating), go into another program with athletes who were about the same level as I was training at in speed skating and see how they approached sport and competition,” he said. Janssens was named to the Speed Skating Canada’s national development team in September and is now preparing for the first serious competition of the season, the World Cup fall trials Oct. 23-26 in Calgary. The Canadian team for the first four World Cups of the season— beginning with Nov. 14-16 in Obihiro, Japan—will be chosen based on results of those trials.

Janssens heads into the trials feeling good. He had two solid skates last weekend at the Fall Classic at the Olympic Oval, finishig second in the 3,000m in 3:50.19 and fourth in the 5,000 in 6:33.69. “I’m fitter than I have been going into to any season,” he said. “My open-

ing race in the 5,000 was just as fast as my season’s best last year. I’m pretty optimistic about the year ahead.” Janssens made his World Cup speed skating debut for the Canada on Nov. 29, 2013 when he skated in a 1,500m in Astana, Kazakhstan. He also raced the ultra-hard 10,000 in Astana two days

later. Janssens also competed at the 2013 World Allround Championships in Hamar, Norway. Born and raised in Chilliwack, Janssens began speed skating on the short track with the Sardis Fliers as a 10 year old but, while he was competitive on the small oval, he realized when he

reached 6-foot-7 that his body was made more for long track. He switched and began training at the Richmond, B.C., Olympic Oval. After high school Janssens moved to Calgary to train and study at the University of Calgary, where he now has six classes remaining to get his undergraduate degree in commerce. Janssens had rowed for fun for a couple of summers in Chilliwack in high school but that was the extent of his previous exposure to the sport. This past summer was both fun and hard work, with training seven days per week typically starting at 5:45 each morning and lasting into the evening. “In week three or four the hard training starts to hit you and in weeks five, six your body gets into this rhythm. You forget what day of the week it is—you just don’t care anymore if it’s Monday night or Friday night it’s all the same because you are training seven days a week. “You get into this rhythm and it’s amazing what your body can adapt to—it was really, really cool.” With the summer in a boat over, Janssens returned to Calgary with a renewed love for the long track oval. “I’m completely devoted to speed skating,” he said.

Gridiron girl finds a home and a family in football Game’s physical nature suits her condition well BY GREG LAYCHAK glaychak@chilliwacktimes.com

rooklynne Groves-Vula isn’t like the other players on the football team. The eight-year-old girl lines up with a full team of boys at every practice and game they play. But that’s not the only reason her place on the Chilliwack Giants Atom White defensive line is unique. Brooklynne also has high-functioning autism. “She’s a very insecure child,” says Brooklynne’s mother Charlene Groves. “She’s very bright and she’s bright enough to know that she’s different.” It might seem a strange place for an insecure young girl to feel at home— on a field with boys in a new sport with coaches shouting instructions. However, Groves says the sport has completely turned her daughter’s life around. Brooklynne’s mother credits the structure, the routine and the repetition of the drills, to her child’s love of the game and the successes it has led to. “She loves being able to release the energy and the aggression and be very

physical with people and not get in trouble for it,” she says. “For the first seven years of her life I said, ‘Brooklynne, not so rough, play nice, be more gentle.’ And now I’m saying, ‘Go get ‘em!’ and she’s loving it.” Brooklynne, a very talkative and sporadically excited girl, remembers her favourite game against Atom Red when she made two tackles and recovered a key fumble. “It’s awesome because I get to be blocker sometimes and I get to tackle a lot,” she says. Tackling is her favourite part of the game, which is no surprise to her mother who says she’s always attacking friends and family for hugs. When she was seven the family considered putting her in the flag division of the Giants league. But because of her size and desire to play in a more physical game, the young girl found herself up against boys a year or two older in the rougher atom category. And she seems to be doing well. Coach Eric Sondervang bumped Brooklynne up to a starting defensive line slot for the last game. “She has come so incredibly far this year,” says Sondervang. “There’s been a huge transformation with her.” The Atom White coach says Brooklynne just needed some positive attention, and he says his wife who is team manager and trainer of the team played a big role in providing her with a feeling of belonging. “She just wanted to feel like one of

Football helps Brooklynne Groves-Vula’s confidence and social skills—formerly a struggle for the high-functioning autistic girl. the guys on the team, so we made her feel like one,” says Sondervang, adding that he treats Brooklynne no differently than any other player in the squad. Sondervang has a good mix of experience to handle any group of kids: his younger brother has autism and the coach helped his mother raise the four-sibling family while dad was away. But it hasn’t always been smooth sailing for the coach and his recent

female addition to the team. “She didn’t make it to many practices, and to start with she had kind of a bad attitude,” says Sondervang. Brooklynne surprised the coach with some hateful expression and rude language in their earliest days together. It’s a parallel with her life off the field Brooklynne’s mother knows all too well. In first grade Brooklynne was only

going to school for about two hours a day. “That was about all she could handle,” says Groves. “The stimulation of people, the expectations, the rules the demands, the noise, the touching— everything was just overwhelming to her.” It got to the point where Groves had to take two months off work to stay home with Brooklynne. Groves essentially was on call so she could collect her daughter at school if Brooklynne needed to come home. And the young girl needed constant education assistant (EA) support for the short time she was attending school. “Now she doesn’t need that much support in the classroom,” says Groves. “She’s working on her own, she’s more focused.” While she admits there are many interventions at work in Brooklynne’s life, Groves is convinced that football made the incredible, behaviour-changing impact that has filled Brooklynne with a new confidence. Football’s discipline has done wonders Football wasn’t the first sport Groves had tried with Brooklynne. Skating, basketball and bowling are a few of the activities the young girl tried, all with various degrees of success. After an assessment at school by an occupational therapist that recognized { See FOOTBALL, page A23 }

Rams too strong for Huskers Langley Valley

B-ball refs needed

48 17

BY GREG LAYCHAK glaychak@chilliwacktimes.com

he Valley Huskers lost to the Langley Rams 48-17 in their last game of the season, despite playing one of their most disciplined games of the year. Reining in their tendency to rack up penalties, the Huskers still couldn’t make enough ground against one of the toughest teams in the league. Coming off of their only victory this year against the Westshore Rebels last week, Chilliwack’s desire for the win was palpable at Exhibition Stadium early in the game. The Huskers scored first with an early 37-yard field goal from Dan Erickson following a fumble recovery that put the team within scoring distance. Finding themselves down 10-3 at the end of the first quarter, Chilliwack evened the score again with a dramatic touchdown by receiver Cody Vinish —who recovered his own TD

The Valley Huskers celebrate from the sidelines when receiver Cody Vinish recovered his own fumble from a completed pass in the end zone early against the Langley Rams at Exhibition Stadium Saturday. reception fumble for the major. But the 10-10 tie was as close as the Huskers would come to a lead. Langley scored two more TDs before the end of the first half. The visitors proceeded to put up another 24 points in the second half, while the Ram defence kept the Huskers scoreless until Benedict Muhima’s rushing TD in the last quarter. “Obviously they’re a stronger team—we have to be upfront about that,” said Moe Agagnier, general manager. “They have more depth and more strength,

and we just got worn out.” He said the Huskers lack the numbers and size to deal with a team as big as Langley, and that some key injuries hurt the squad going into the game. As for the Huskers’ season, Agagnier said he has mixed feelings. “I’m not satisfied with how we did,” he said. “I thought at the beginning of the year we would make the playoffs this year.” Agagnier said three of their games should have been Huskers victories and that he is upfront

about the fact. “Maybe some of that was my fault for not bringing in as much depth,” he said, adding that the biggest problem was that team’s lack of size. And looking forward to next season, the GM said there will have to be improvement. While he recognized the achievements made by the Huskers late in the season, Agagnier claimed he’s never satisfied. “When it comes down to it, we’re supposed to be putting a better product on the field.”

The Chilliwack Giants will send four representatives to compete in the Punt, Pass and Kick (PP&K) program at BC Place this Saturday at 4 p.m. The winners were selected Sept. 4 when all kids from all divisions of the Giants were invited to compete for the chance to try for their divisional PP&K title. All four players get tickets to watch the Lions host the Ottawa Redblacks on Saturday.

Rick Klassen, former BC Lion, will be one of the the Chilliwack Sports Hall of Fame inductees when the organization holds the induction ceremony for the Class of 2014 at Prospera Centre Oct. 25. Klassen spent nine of his 10 CFL years with the Lions, helping the team get to two Grey Cups (they won the 1985 cup against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats). The other inductee is the 3-Field hockey team, winner of the first Canadian Forces Hockey Championship in 1968.

he University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) men’s and women’s golf teams both defended their PacWest titles last weekend after the final tournament of the conference golf season in Kelowna. It’s the second straight gold ranking for the women, and the men continue on their three-season streak after the two-round competition hosted by UBC Okanagan (UBC-O). “It means a lot because it seems to get harder and harder every year,” said UFV golf coach Chris Bertram in a press release. “The competition in our conference is so good, but we keep getting better every year and we fight tooth and nail to get it done,” he said. The UFV women won the UBC-O tournament (327) to place them at the top of the cumulative season score (1,293) in the four-tourna-

His team finished third on the weekend (603) behind hosts UBC-O (580) and the Camosun Chargers (595). It was enough to take the overall title by 13 strokes (2,381) for the men, holding on to enough of their lead going into the Kelowna tourney over Camosun (2,394). Pauls (590) joined two of his teammates to end up in the top five in men’s individual season play, nabbing fifth overall with teammates Connor O’Dell (586) in second and Zach Olson (588) in third.

Bertram snags fourth coaching award UFV’s Chris Bertram was presented with the top golf coach award of the PacWest conference at the conclusion of the final PacWest tournament at Okanagan Golf Club on Sunday. “I see this award as recognition for all the great things happening in our golf program, and all of the people at UFV and in the community that help move it forward,” Bertram said. He credited the entire coaching staff for helping build the team and said he shared the award with all of them. It’s the fourth time in five years Bertram has won the honour, having been recognized in 2010, 2012 and 2013.

What Happens When You Die Without a Will? Making a will is an important part of planning for your family’s future. If you die without a will, your property will be divided according to B.C. law, and the costs to administer your estate will increase. You’ll also be giving up the right to appoint the guardian of your choice for any children in your care. Although you can use a kit to write your own will, it’s a good idea to get help from a lawyer or notary public to make sure your will is legal. If your will isn’t considered legal, it can create a lot of problems for your heirs.

Why should you make a will? Every adult who owns assets or has a spouse or young children should have a will. Surprisingly, many people don’t have one. The few hours that you spend with a lawyer planning your estate could save your spouse, children and other beneficiaries much time, effort and money. By not having a will, you lose control over who gets how much of your estate and when. You also give up the right to appoint a guardian of your choice for any young children you have. And the costs to administer your estate will be drastically increased. How will your estate be divided if you die without a will? • If you die without a will, BC’s Estate Administration Act dictates how your estate will be divided. It sets out the following rules:

McLean’s Funeral Services Ltd. “Chilliwack’s only locally owned and family operated Funeral Service.”

Servicing At-Need & Pre-Need

• If you own a home, your spouse will have the right to use it for life. This is called a “life interest” and can tie up the estate for a long time. Your spouse receives the first $65,000 of your estate. Then if you have children, your spouse and children share what’s left – equally if you have one child, and if you have more than one child, then one-third to the spouse and the remainder equally to your children. If you have no children, then your spouse gets everything. Children born outside of marriage are treated the same way as other children in the family. But step-children are currently excluded. • If you don’t have a spouse, or if your spouse is dead, the estate goes to your children. If any of your children died before you, leaving their own children, then their children would take equally the share of your dead child.

• If you have no children or grandchildren, then your parents (or the survivor of them) get the estate. • If your parents are dead, then the estate goes to your siblings, but if one of them has died before you and left any children living when you died, those children receive your dead sibling’s share. • If all your siblings are dead, then your estate is divided equally among your nephews and nieces, but if there are none, then it’s left to your other relatives based on a table of family connections that shows how they are related to you.

Even over in the wine, beer and spirits tasting pavilion, gluten-free visitors weren’t left out. Montreal’s Glutenberg Beer showed off its millet-based blonde, pale ale and India Pale Ale, pleasing those who have removed gluten from their diets. There weren’t a ton of Chilliwack-based businesses at the show, but on Friday I chatted with Geordon Hoag from Old Yale Brewery who poured the local brewer’s Sasquatch Stout, named Beer of the Year at this year’s Canadian Brewing Awards. Other locals in attendance were the good folks from Johnston’s, and Jason Layton and his Poomba’s Smokehouse food truck where he dished out pulled pork sliders to happy visitors. NP184-728

Hoop dancing airs on Warrior Games

wo years have passed since Steve Sxwithul’txw (pronounced Swee-thult) and his TV production crew were in Chilliwack gathering footage for the first season of Warrior Games. Production is finished and the locally filmed episode will be broadcast on the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN) on Oct. 11 at 3:30 p.m. PDT. T h e p ro g r a m , w h i c h c e n tres around host and producer Sxwithul’txw trying out indigenous sports of all kinds, was in Chilliwack for episode six because the crew discovered local hoop dancer Gary Abbott and his talents. “ G a r y ’ s f a n t a s t i c ,” s a i d Sxwithul’txw. “He and his whole family are driven by passion [for] hoop dancing.” “He’s just an absolute expert and he’s a gentleman as well, and very patient with me, which is what I ask of all of my instructors,” he said. Abbott has performed the narrative dance for about 25 years, weaving his own life story into the sequence of movements and forms made with his hoops. “The first hoop I pick up represents the time that I arrived here,” said Abbott. “All the rest of my hoops represent my friends and my family.” He shapes the hoops and his body into a portrayal of the sun and moon with eagle’s wings touching both to represent balance. At the end of the sequence he makes the world, and jumps into

Abbott said Sxwithul’txw did well given he only had three days to study the art with his teacher. “He had a great passion for learning the skills and then putting it all together at the end,” said Abbott. The host took his camera to 12 locations around North America to film his attempts at various aboriginal sports after being taught by local experts about the techniques, culture and history of the activity. For Sxwithul’txw it was a chance to work with a wide range of ages in various indigenous cultures around North America. “For me personally, working with the elders is always important, recognizing what they bring to the community and any other project,” he said. And to balance the wisdom of the elders, the over-40 TV show producer also got advice and guidance from children and adults on how

Sxwithul’txw said he had no interaction or experience with any of the sports in the show before filming. He wanted to create the show because he felt being in touch with one’s culture and tradition is important, as is remembering and preserving the old ways. Abbott sees the show as a way for First Nations and all viewers to learn and understand about indigenous history. “I think it’s important for us to see other First Nations, what the teachings are behind the games that their people do,” said Abbott. “Because it’s never just a game, there’s always a deep reason and story behind each game.” Abbott, of Chehalis descent, is an example of knowledge shared across First Nations’ cultures. His art, hoop dancing is a Navajo tradition taught to him by Courage Benally from Arizona. And although the dance takes a lot of skill and agility, it was one of the kinder sports in the series to producer Sxwithul’txw’s body. Other sports he learned in making the show included welt-yielding sports like lacrosse and Choctaw stickball. “I had a lot of scrapes and bruises and a lot of ice and a lot of Ben Gay,” he said. “But I’m healed up, ready for season two.”

recorded two sacks and Austin Wegener tallied two as well. The Giants defence smothered the Mission offence, holding them to just one first down for the entire game.

Pee Wee Red

The Giants midget team improved to 6-0 on the season defeating the Cloverdale Bengals 29-6 on Sunday. The Giants struck first with a TD pass to Marius Anghel from QB Josh Pretty. Trey Isaac was perfect on the day for point after attempts. The 6-0 Giants face off against the 6-0 North Surrey Bears on Friday.

Chilliwack’s peewee Red were victorious over the Mission Niners 36-0, extending their record to 6-0. Offence had great blocking by O-linemen Logan Head, Davies Mitchell, Tyler Kelly, Taylor Both and Daniel King. Defence also saw Daniel King play very strong and set the tone with four QB sacks.

Her recommendation and reassurance that girls showed up in the league from time to time were enough to convince Groves that it was time for Brooklynne to try out the more physical game. “So then I called the coaches and asked them was it possible to have this child with autism come . . . and they were very welcoming,” says Groves. “And it just went from there.” Embracing the information age Groves has done a lot of her own research on autism and hasn’t been

afraid to try new things out with Brooklynne. Football could be the biggest success yet in helping Brooklynne stay in the classroom and improve her social skills. “She has never been able to make friends very easily, but she’s accepted here on the football team,” says Groves. And nothing proves that more than the childhood honour presented to Brooklynne by her teammate: her first birthday party invitation.

I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses was something I couldn’t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didn’t need an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less than I paid for one pair at my regular optometrist. I couldn’t believe how great the deal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere but Great Glasses in the future. I’m so glad that Bruce was willing to fight for good customer value.

{ FOOTBALL, from page A15 } how tactile and aggressive Brooklynne was, Groves was playing with the idea of putting her into the league. But it was probably a more gradual neighbourhood influence of community football star Treyvon Walsh throwing the pigskin around with the kids that got Brooklynne on board. “His little bit of notoriety has piqued the kids interests,” says Groves. Walsh’s mother Alicia is a big advocate of the football regime and what it does for children’s discipline and teamwork skills.

Skip the leaf blower and pick up a rake for eco-friendly leaf cleanup.

Autumn yard work gone ‘green’

utumn marks the time to transition from the hot days of summer to the chilly weather of winter. As people remove sweaters and long pants from storage, cleaning up their yards also may be on their minds. Fall is a season of beautiful foliage, but once that magical color show is over, thousands of leaves have fallen to the ground, necessitating a few weekends’ worth of yard work. Some homeowners may be on the lookout for environmentally friendly ways to handle autumn yard work, and thankfully there are plenty of eco-friendly ways to tackle such tasks. Leaves The tallest task with regard to fall yard work is collecting the leaves that fall to the ground. Some homeowners prefer to wait until all of the leaves have fallen before starting the collection process, while others handle the task in stages to make it more manageable. Regardless of your timing, skip the noisy gas- or electric-powered leaf blower in favor of a reliable rake. Raking not only collects

Did you know?

thatch, resist the temptation to rake with lots of physical force, as raking too hard can harm the lawn. Instead, commit to three or four easy passes with the rake, as this will collect the thatch without damaging the lawn. Many people rent a dethatcher from a nearby lawn and garden supply store, and such a device can make the process of removing thatch much easier. However, be sure to clean the machine before using it on your lawn, as there is no way of telling what condition the previousrenter’s lawn was in when he

or she used the device. Failing to clean the dethatcher can spread disease from a previous renter’s lawn onto your own, and that can prove another costly mistake come the spring when your lawn is looking to rebound. If seeding the lawn in early fall, which can be a great time to reseed, remove the thatch before laying down any new seed. If you wait to remove thatch until after you have laid down new seed, then the lawn likely won’t benefit from the seed and you will likely just rake the new seed away when it comes time to remove thatch.

Before saying “so long” to yard work at the end of autumn, homeowners should remove thatch from their lawns. Thatch is dead grass that’s often identifiable by its yellowish tint, and this dead grass, if left to loom in the lawn over the winter, can block air and moisture from making its way into the soil. That can make it difficult for a lawn to recover come the spring and may even cost homeowners a substantial amount of money to address when winter finally skips town. When removing

Compost Autumn is an ideal time of year to get started on building a com-

post bin. Take advantage of the cooler temperatures to make outdoor work more comfortable. According to the Audubon Society, American yards generate two tons of clippings each year. A lot of that waste ends up being bagged and thrown away. Instead of producing waste, compost leaves and grass trimmings to use as valuable fertilizer come the spring planting season. When choosing a location for your compost bins, be sure to place them a good distance away from the house but near enough to garden beds. Most yard waste and food debris can be added to the compost pile. Just avoid animal products, which can produce harmful bacteria. Keep the compost damp and turn it periodically to facilitate the decomposition process. Soak finished compost in water to create “compost tea.” This liquid mixture can be sprayed on lawns in the fall to give the yard a nutrient boost that promotes healthy regrowth when the warmer weather returns. Eco-friendly lawn care can save energy, money and natural resources.

the leaves but also helps men and women burn calories while ensuring they are not creating any noise or air pollution. Invest in a durable, ergonomic rake to get the job done quickly and without injury. Innovators are constantly reinventing the rake, and now there are designs that do not trap leaves, saving homeowners from the time-consuming tasks of cleaning the rake’s teeth. Rake on a calm day so the wind isn’t thwarting your efforts. When it comes time to bag the leaves, use biodegradable paper bags or look for mesh-like bags that are made from cornstarch. These are more eco-friendly than plastic bags, which can take much longer to decompose. You won’t need to dispose of all the leaves you collect. Shred some to use as mulch, which can prevent soil erosion during the winter. Some leaves can be added to compost piles or used as a soil ammendment in planting beds.

Loose-fill insulation is one option when insulating an attic.

Understanding attic insulation

nsulation is one of the best investments a homeowner can make, but too often people overlook insulation in favor of more eye-catching renovations. Insulation is not something to be ignored, as it contributes to year-round comfort in the home while reducing energy costs along the way. According to the Energy Star program, you should add more insulation if the existing insulation is just level with or below the floor joists of your attic. If you cannot see any of the floor joists because the insulation is well above them, you probably have enough and adding more may not be cost-effective. In addition, check to see if the insulation is an even thickness across the entire attic. Sometimes it can be thicker in the middle and then peter out toward the eaves. Attic insulation is measured according to its R-Value, which measures the insulation’s ability to resist heat flow. The higher the R-Value, the better the thermal performance of the insulation. In many climates, the recommended level for homes is R-38. If you prefer more insulation, increase the R-Value. Insulation is made from different materials, including fiberglass, cellulose and rock wool. It comes in different forms. Rolls and batts are some of the more commonly used types of insulation. Loose-fill insulation is a loose insulation with no backing that is usually blown into a space. Rigid foam and foam-inplace insulation are additional types of insulation. The type of insulation used depends on where

the insulation is needed and your budget. Certain materials are not applicable for particular uses, and typically insulation that provides a higher R-Value tends to be more expensive. Examine the cost-effectiveness of the type of insulation being considered before application. You also can mix and match insulations depending on the application.

Additional tips ◗ Consider factors such as your climate, home design and budget when selecting insulation for your home. ◗ Use higher R-Value insulation, such as spray foam, on exterior walls and in cathedral ceilings to get more insulation with less thickness. ◗ Install attic air barriers, such as wind baffles, along the entire attic eave to help ensure proper airflow from the soffit to the attic. Ventilation helps with moisture control and reduces summer cooling bills, but don’t ventilate your attic if you have insulation on the underside of the roof. Ask a qualified contractor for recommendations. ◗ Be careful how close you place insulation next to a recessed light fixture— unless it is insulation contact (IC) rated—to avoid a fire hazard. ◗ Follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions, and wear the proper protective gear when installing insulation. In addition to making a home more comfortable, insulation also can buffer noise, making the home more peaceful. Insulation can reduce noises from outside the home as well as absorb sounds from inside.

Eco-friendly alternatives to pesticides

ests can be a nuisance. Whether they’re scampering about the yard while you try to entertain guests or invading your home’s interior when the weather outside pushes them indoors, pests are almost always unwelcome guests. Many homeowners address pest problems with pesticides. But the Environmental Protection Agency notes that there are other ways for homeowners to control pest problems around their homes. Though sometimes pesticides prove the only way to effectively eradicate pest problems, the following are some more eco-friendly alternatives homeowners can try before opting for pesticides. ◗ Cut off food sources. One of the primary reasons pests infiltrate a home is to get food. Homeowners who don’t create opportunities for pests to eat might be able to prevent infestations without the need for pesticides. When storing items in a pantry, make

sure all boxes and bags are tightly sealed. Many pests can easily access food sources stored in cardboard boxes, so homeowners with roach or ant infestations might want to consider storing cereal, sugar and flour in sealable plastic containers that such pests cannot penetrate. ◗ Keep a tidy house. Pests do not only access food sources stored in the pantry. A dirty house is also very inviting to pests, who can feast on crumbs left behind on floors and tables. Don’t leave crumbs lying around on tables or countertops, as such scraps might not seem like a meal to you but will serve as a great source of food for hungry pests. Sweep and mop kitchen floors to remove any traces of food that might have fallen on the ground while you were cooking, and be sure to vacuum around the table where you and your family eat dinner night. ◗ Don’t be sunk by your sink. A dirty sink is

another attraction pests can’t resist. If your sink does not come equipped with a garbage disposal, install a food trap on the drain so food is not washing down the drain, where it can stick to the side of the pipe and attract pests. Dirty dishes should be cleaned immediately as well. If allowed to sit in the sink for hours or overnight, dirty dishes will attract hungry pests, so clean

the dishes and then give your sink a quick cleaning once the dishes have been washed. ◗ Stay dry. Water is very attractive to pests and roaches in particular. A very small amount of water is all some roaches need to feel satisfied, so all surfaces and sinks should be kept dry. Drain water from the sink, as a sink full of water is attractive to roaches because they know how to swim

and can use water as a food source. Leaky plumbing should also be addressed, as leaky faucets, hoses and pipes may create a pest-friendly environment that’s difficult to eradicate once it’s established. ◗ Address leaks around the house. A pest infestation also may be a byproduct of leaks around the house. Cracks or openings along the baseboards or behind the

sink can create a point of entry for hungry pests, so seal any such cracks or openings as soon as possible. Pests also may enter a home through holes in window screens or march right in through the front door if there is any space between the bottom of the door and the floor. These repairs are both simple and effective at preventing pests from entering a home.

◗ Clear out clutter. Cluttered areas make great hiding places for pests. Stacks of old newspapers or magazines can obscure pests, and homeowners might have a full infestation without even knowing it. Removing such clutter eliminates potential hiding places for pests. Though some pest problems may require the use of pesticides, homeowners who want to attempt a more eco-friendly approach to eradicating pests can do so in a number of ways.

Restoring a wood floor after removing carpet and the glue it left behind is a simple process but one that requires homeowners put in a little elbow grease lightheaded or begin to feel sick. ◗ A plastic putty knife may or may not remove all of the glue, and chances are it won’t. You will still be stuck with some stubborn spots that the putty knife simply can’t remove. When such spots present themselves, apply a little more remover, wait the recommended time for it to set and then use an old towel to wipe away the rest of the glue. This can be hard, but stick with it to ensure the floor looks as good and glue-free as it possibly can. ◗ Allow the floor time to dry. The floor will need time to dry after all of the glue has been removed, so at this point you can call it a day and finish the job the following day. If weather permits, you can expedite the drying process

by opening all of the windows. This not only dries the floor more quickly but also allows you to air out the room, which many contain some lingering chemicals left behind by the removers. ◗ Clean the floor. When the floor has dried, you can sweep and vacuum it to make sure it is free of debris. ◗ Sand the floor. While the floor may look beautiful, you will probably still need to sand it. No matter how carefully and effectively you removed the glue, you probably left behind a few scuff marks or noticed a few that likely resulted from the carpet installation. Sanding can remove these blemishes and take you one step closer to enjoying your beautiful and now-glue-free wood floors.

any a homeowner has moved into a new home and immediately begun to renovate the place to make it more their own. Carpeting is often the first thing to go when a homeowner is handed the keys to his or her new home, and many a homeowner has pulled up an old carpet only to discover beautiful flooring beneath. Pulling up carpet is a relatively simple task, but carpets that were glued down often leave their mark on the floor, turning even the most appealing hardwood floor into an eyesore covered in hardened clumps of glue. Such remnants may be harder to remove than the actual carpet, but with the right approach and a little elbow grease, homeowners will be enjoying their new hardwood floors sooner rather than later. ◗ Get the glue right. All carpet glues are not the same, so before you can begin to remove the adhesive from the floor you must first determine which type of glue you will be removing, as this can dictate how you proceed with the removal. Tar-based adhesives are dark brown or tan, but if the floor is coated in a yellow-looking substance, then the carpet was glued down with a more general adhesive. ◗ Choose the appropriate removal material. Once you have determined which type of adhesive was used on the floor, visit the hardware store to buy the appropriate removal material. Tarbased adhesives are best removed with mineral spirits, while general adhesives are best removed with a combination of elbow grease and adhesive remover. When removing a general adhesive, first try to scrape or chip off any glue spots. Be gentle when chipping, as you don’t want to scuff your wood floor. Scraping and chipping will likely only do so much, so once you have scraped and chipped as much as you can, you can then use your adhesive remover. Such products tend to be quite flammable, so exercise caution when using them. In addition, adhesive removers can be toxic, so keep the windows open while you’re working so you don’t get

An adventure packed with folklore and fun

o give the kids a fantastic cultural experience blending the theatrics and fun of the performing arts and the traditional wisdom and stories of the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest, make sure to bring them along to Raven Stories coming to the Cultural Centre on Oct. 19. Raven Stories tells three stories based around that trickster of First Nations folklore; Raven. Using incredibly evocative puppetry that reflects the unmistakable style of traditional First Nations wood carvings and artwork, Raven Stories will take you and the kids on a mystical and entertaining journey to a world steeped in mischief, soulfulness and joy. An important character in the folklore of the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest, Raven has taken many roles including magician, transformer, trickster and spiritual guide. Like his cousin Coyote, Raven has been known to use his wits and cunning to shape events and get what he wants, but he also is central in the stories of how the world came to be. Raven Stories focuses on three such tales, “Raven Steals the Sun, Moon and Stars”, “How Raven Killed a Whale”, and “How Raven Gave Water to the World.” Combining the wisdom of indigenous folklore with the fun and frolics

a valuable cultural experience and a great time all at once. Brought to Chilliwack by Portland, Oregon’s Tears of Joy Theatre;

a group that has been described as one of the best puppet theatre groups in the United States, Raven Stories includes some other characters from

First Nations folklore that audiences may be familiar with. Raven jokes and laughs with his friend Petrol in one tale, tricks his way into the hut of the Chief to give a gift to humanity in another, and even transforms himself into a screaming baby, to hilarious and raucous results. Written by storyteller and poet Ed Edmo of the Shoshone-Bannock tribes in south-east Idaho, Raven Stories is entertaining and illuminating, and offers the perfect mixture of laughter and learning. The kids are guaranteed to have a great time following Raven on his adventures, and experiencing the indigenous cultures of the Pacific Northwest in a brand new and exciting way. So come along for a brilliantly fun ride with Tears of Joy Theatre and Raven on Oct. 19. This is an afternoon show beginning at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10 (kids show) and they call the Centre Box Office at 604-391SHOW(7469). Charming, quirky, and filled with traditional knowledge, Raven Stories will be the show that the kids never forget. Raven Stories is generously sponsored by Emil Anderson, Gidney Signs, Save-on-Foods, KPMG, The Chilliwack Times, The Drive, The City of Chilliwack, the Department of Canadian Heritage, and The Hampton Inn.

Soup’s on: pottery bowl fundraiser sees local potters & celebrities pitch in BY DESSA BAYROCK dbayrock@chilliwacktimes.com

wenty bucks might seem like a hefty price for a bowl of soup, but Patti Lawn assures you that you’ll get more than a late lunch. Lawn is the executive director at the Chilliwack Community Arts Council, and she’s explaining the arts organization’s newest fundraiser: The Pottery Bowl. On Saturday, Oct. 18, the community is invited to drop by the Art Room on Vedder for a bowl of soup between 2 and 5 p.m. There will be a bit of a farmer’s market on site, with winter squash and other fresh veggies, not to mention live music, activities for the kids, and the chance to take a peek at the current exhibit hanging on the Art 6346774

Room walls. The star of the show, however, is the soup. But before you ladle out a helping of hearty goodness, you’ll need to pick a bowl. With support and donations from local potters and artisans, the Arts Council has collected around four dozen hand-crafted bowls. Included in the soup’s $20 price tag is the bowl it comes in—guaranteed one-of-akind and locally made. Add that to the fact that all funds raised will go towards children’s programs at the Art Room, and $20 starts to look like a pretty good bang for your buck. To top it all off, it’s been a way to get potters across Chilliwack interacting with one another, tightening the cloth of the arts community in

Chilliwack as per the Arts Council’s mandate. “It was an opportunity to go out and meet them, to work with them, to encourage them,” Lawn says. Four potters in particular have thrown themselves into the project, and myriad others have donated work to the cause. It all comes down to one, simple reason: the Arts Council does good work, and they want to support it. With the potters’ help, Lawn also pulled a few “Chilliwack celebrities” into the mix, who will glaze and decorate bowls of their own for the cause. So when you pick out the bowl you intend to go home with, Lawn says, you might just pick the mayor’s. Or a { See SOUP’S ON, page A31 }

October busy month at Centre

he season is in full swing at the Cultural Centre—and we’re just getting started! September saw the second-annual and hugely successful Fraser Valley Culture & Craft Beer Festival take over practically the entire main floor of The Centre with more than 60 kinds of craft beer on tap. We were delighted, and humbled to see the Chilliwack community step up to support this fundraising event in such a big way. Tickets completely sold out, the tables were stacked with donations for the silent auction, and the lobby was packed and buzzing all night long. Now we find ourselves knee-deep in October, and this autumn is the perfect time to get crafty. Check out the Halloween mask-making workshop on Oct. 18—just in time to get your scare on for the end of the month without breaking the bank or braving the costume shop crowds. While we’re on the subject of crafting creativity, remember The Centre has open studios for painting, drawing, clay work, scrapbooking, and more—where aspiring and experienced artists can rub shoulders, practise their craft, and work at their own speed. Dropping in for an hour or two of quiet creation is a nice

Dessa Bayrock break from the rush of everyday life. Apart from arts instruction at The Centre, there’s a cornucopia of events on the horizon. Our theatre offerings also pack a punch this month with an unbelievable variety of theatre, music, and more. We’re beyond excited to present hit musical Avenue Q from the Arts Club On Tour. It’s a hilarious and raucous tale following the lives of the puppet and human cast through a healthy helping of lively, lewd, and downright ludicrous adventures. These puppets have hit adult life hard—with all the bells and whistles that accompany it, including full puppet nudity, dirty jokes, Internet pornography, and a surprisingly poignant search for meaning. It’s guaranteed to make you laugh, gasp, blush, and maybe even shed a tear. It broke records last year as the most popular Arts Club Theatre production in history—and you won’t want to miss it. Speaking of things to mark on your

calendar, it’s time to dig out all your dusty antiques. If you’ve ever dreamt of being on the Antiques Roadshow, now’s your chance to get those hidden treasures evaluated —and support your favourite cultural institute at the same time! Antiques in the Attic is back on Oct. 17 and 18, bringing hotshot appraiser Peter Blundell to the Centre. Book a session with him to get your antiques and artwork evaluated—and you’ll finally know the true value of your treasured heirlooms and/or garage sale finds. There are too many events and shows to list in the next month, and don’t get me started on November—think chainmail and glass bead workshops, radio legends Red Robinson and Rick Cluff, live music crossing from blues to country to classical and back again, and shows from the Chilliwack Players Guild, the Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra, and more! ◗ Get your hands on more information or advance tickets by calling the box office at 604-391-7469 or visiting us online at chilliwackculturalcentre. ca.

Raven Stories brings traditional indigenous stories to life at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on October 19, 2014, using imaginative and inspiring puppetry that reflects the unmistakable style of traditional First Nations wood carvings and artwork. Raven Stories will take you and the kids on a mystical and entertaining journey to a world steeped in culture, soulfulness, joy — and a healthy dose of mischief ! Fraser Valley audiences are in for a treat! Portland’s Tears of Joy Theatre brings some of the best puppetry in the United States to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre — full of First Nations folklore and Raven’s shenanigans. Magician, transformer, trickster, and cunning prankster by turns, Raven soars through three stories brought to life on the HUB International Theatre stage: Raven Steals the Sun, Moon and Stars, How Raven Killed a Whale, and How Raven Gave Water to the World. “I have seen how the art of puppetry engages and captures the imagination of audiences young and old,” says director Michael Griggs. “Animals come to life, there is a blend of the comic and the dramatic, and the kids get to enter

a new and different world.” Raven Stories is a great way to introduce kids to theatre for the first time, or to entertain even the most seasoned theatre-goer! It’s charming, quirky, and filled with traditional knowledge for audiences of all ages. The show is sure to be entertaining and illuminating, offering a glimpse into the traditional indigenous culture, as written by storyteller and poet Ed Edmo of the Shoshone-Bannock tribe in Idaho.

Raven Stories is generously sponsored by Emil Anderson, Gidney Signs, Save on Foods, KPMG, The Chilliwack Times, The Drive, The City of Chilliwack, the Department of Canadian Heritage, and The Hampton Inn.

“The message is the recognition that there are many worldviews and each culture has its own, but there is a shared humanity that unites them all,” Michael Griggs says. “Hopefully this leads kids to an appreciation of that culture, but even more importantly, it teachers them to realize that there is a multiplicity of other cultures and ignites a curiosity and appreciation of other people and their traditions.” So follow Raven as he embarks on a series of mischievous adventures and antics in Chilliwack this October 19. He’ll crack jokes, play pranks, and bring a few traditional tales to the HUB International Stage. Don’t miss this beautifully presented cultural treasure! Tickets are only $10.

Supporting next generation of Chilliwack artists

hilliwack boasts a bright and beautiful arts scene, and Chilliwack student Elizabeth Olsen has proved that fact once again; she is the recipient of a schol-

arship from the B.C. Arts Council, clocking in at just under $6,000. This scholarship is all the more meaningful given that applications are evaluated by committees of professional artists in specific disciplines— and that Olsen won the approval and support of established artists in her field alongside the scholarship.
