Mail theft acquittal infuriates victim

SUPPLY & DEMAND

Chilliwack’s housing market becoming a safe haven for those unable to afford big city living

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

A

Chilliwack victim of mail theft is outraged the Canada Post employee charged with stealing her important documents was found not guilty in court last Thursday.

Ex-Canada Post employee Candace Waller was found not guilty of mail theft and possession of stolen property, and she was acquitted of a third charge of fraud in connection with thefts more than a year ago.

“Where is the justice?” asks Nichole Sutton, whose driver’s licence and health care card were stolen in the lead up to Waller’s arrest.

“People come and rob mailboxes and then they just walk away? . . . Still to this day I don’t want to trust Canada Post.”

The finding of not guilty and the acquittal were mostly due to the non-appearance of the Crown’s star witness. A warrant was issued in January for Brianna Margaret Brown but she did not attend court before the hearing ended June 18.

Due to Brown’s non-appearance, the Crown had no evidence to back up the fraud charge so Waller was acquitted.

There was other evidence presented at trial by Crown Paul Blessin

or anyone who doesn’t live in Vancouver, the relentless flow of news stories about high prices in the province’s largest city can be exhausting.

The situation west of us has even led to a Twitter campaign with the hashtag #don’thave1million.

So you can’t get a single family home for less than a million dollars? Too bad.

You should see what you can get in Chilliwack for that kind of cash.

And that just might be happening. Could Chilliwack become a safe haven for real estate refugees fleeing the supposed tyranny of high prices?

Salina (who asked that her last name not be used) and her family moved to Chilliwack a year ago from Aldergrove, mainly because of lower real estate prices.

Not from Vancouver, sure, but she, her husband and her family spent $500,000 on a brand new, 3,400-square-foot home in the Eastern Hillsides “with million-dollar views,” as she puts it.

“If we were looking for something like that, even in Abbotsford, I know we would be paying $100,000 more,” she said.

What if that house and those views were in, say, North Vancouver?

“Oh, it would be $2 million,” she guesses, “at least.”

It’s not as if Chilliwack real estate is on fire, but local realtors have enjoyed three solid months. Most recently, there were 321 homes sold in May worth $103 million compared to 278 sales worth $86 million in May 2014.

“All in all it’s been good,” said Travis Heppner, new president of the Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board (CADREB).

“We are still affordable; one of the last places in the valley that is affordable. That’s crucial for bringing young people here.”

Spent more time in jail than was asked for

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

A

prolific offender found guilty of stealing a car then credit cards from community mailboxes was released from custody last week, sentenced to time served.

Jeffrey Michael Kizmann, 33, spent 495 days in custody on charges stemming from an incident on Oct. 13, 2013 when he stole a car in Chilliwack then drove to Coquitlam to steal mail.

Kizmann’s lawyer Darrel Schultz and Crown counsel Grand Lindsay entered a joint submission for a sen-

tence of two years less a day. Given the usual 1.5-to-one credit for time in pretrial custody, Kizmann’s time served amounted to 741 days, already longer than the two-year sentence asked of the courts.

Kizmann faced a raft of charges on three different files, on some of which the Crown issued a stay of proceedings.

He was also charged with possession of stolen credit card information in connection with a Dec. 31, 2013 incident, and occupying a vehicle where there was a prohibited weapon in connection with an incident on Jan. 25, 2014.

At the sentencing hearing Tuesday, Schultz painted a picture of a homeless, drug-addicted man with a tough upbringing.

“His first job, let’s say, was in agriculture,” Schultz told the court. “He grew up tending to his step-father’s grow-op.”

Kizmann became addicted to drugs, including crystal meth and heroin, something that he says led to the series of crimes that brought him to court.

“He was homeless, addicted and the heroin brought an element of desperation,” Schultz said.

In pre-trial custody, Schultz said his

Community steps up

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

L

ocal Chilliwack businesses and residents have once again risen to the occasion by responding to a cowardly robbery of a small centre for adults with developmental disabilities.

After thugs broke into the Chilliwack Opportunity Society on Fairfield Island in May stealing $1,000 in cheques and $2,000 worth of hearing assistance devices, the society was overwhelmed with a community response of more than $6,000 in donations.

“It’s been really, really good,” manager Heidi Glaister said Tuesday at a volunteer appreciation lunch held at the centre, which operates on a shoestring budget.

“It has been great the amount of support we have gotten,” support worker Sherry Conteh added.

Also stolen in the break-in were the keys to a bus, a pickup truck and the front door of the facility on Williams Road near Gwynne Vaughan Park.

The robbery devastated those who work and volunteer at the centre, who suggested $1,000—which may not sound like much—represented two months of { MAIL, from page A1 } regarding the mail theft and the possession of stolen property, including witness testimony from several officers and a neighbour who had let Waller live in her house, but Judge Russell MacKay found Waller not guilty on both counts.

In May 2014, Mounties said they had been investigating a number of mail thefts over the prior several months and had made a “significant arrest” of a Canada Post employee.

programming for 25 individuals.

But after a May 28 Times story, Glaister said the community stepped up.

“I even had a neighbour over the back fence give me $150,” she said.

Contact Security installed a full security system in the building and included one full year of free monitoring. Others that donated money include: RBC, Fraser Valley Paramedics, the Dogwood Monarch Lions Club, the Chilliwack Lions Club, the Sons of Scotland and former mayor Clint Hames, along with a long list of anonymous donors.

Attendees of the Chilliwack Opportunity Society program go to community bingo, bowling, monthly theatre days at Cottonwood 4 Cinemas, as well as field trips to parks and local attractions. The people that use the program are aged 23 to 80, some of whom have been at the Society since inception 45 years ago.

For anyone who wants to help out in a small way, and have some fun, the society hosts its third annual Summer Fun Day at Gwynne Vaughan Park on Aug. 20 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For $5, visitors will get a hot dog, chips, pop and freezies, and the day includes live music, crafts, outdoor games and more.

Mail theft has left her paranoid, using UPS more often Waller was charged, and the RCMP lauded the work from various agencies that led to the charges.

“Canada Post investigators have been paramount as Waller is an employee of Canada Post,” said Cpl. Brock Rayworth, a year ago. Rayworth was the officer in charge of the Chilliwack RCMP Property Crime section. “The Chilliwack Property Crime section has been work-

ing hand in hand with Canada Post investigators on this and other investigations.”

Sutton was one of the victims of mail theft from the community mailbox in her townhouse complex, and she was told Waller was arrested in connection with the incident. Sutton was also told someone opened a cellphone account and tried to open a bank account using her stolen driver’s licence.

With the not guilty finding, Sutton said she is shocked and confused.

And she’s angry she never heard anything from Canada Post by way of apology.

She added that she is paranoid to this day about her community mailbox.

“If I have something being mailed to me I’ll use UPS or I’ll check my mailbox a couple of times a day,” she

said. “That’s what she has done to me.”

This spring, there were a raft of community mailboxes broken into in Chilliwack, particularly in more rural areas such as Ryder Lake, the Columbia Valley and the Cheam reserve.

But there was also a box broken into on Marie Avenue in Vedder Crossing and at least one more in the Sardis area.

“What is being done?” Sutton asks.

“These idiots keep breaking into mailboxes.”

Hammer falls on Elliott case

A

Chilliwack man convicted in a brutal hammer attack that left the victim with a fractured skull had his appeal of his sentence rejected in the BC Court of Appeal in Vancouver Monday.

Jerry Lee Elliott was given a lifetime firearms prohibition in addition to a 1,304-day jail term by Judge Russell MacKay in March 2014 for an attack described as “vicious, senseless and cowardly.”

Elliott was convicted in 2013 of aggravated assault and uttering threats in a Chilliwack River Road beating of Douglas Hiatt.

Hiatt was dragged from his vehicle and beaten with what may have been a hammer. He was left with numerous abrasions and contusions, along with skull fractures. The injuries caused ongoing seizures

Judge rejects sentence appeal of man convicted in brutal attack and headaches.

Elliott and Kelly Francis Walker were charged with aggravated assault. Both denied the charges, and before Elliott’s conviction, MacKay acquitted Walker, saying he was left with a reasonable doubt that the man was involved in the attack.

Elliott appealed his sentence arguing MacKay erred in application of the law regarding sentencing aboriginal offenders.

The courts recognize the over-representation of First Nations people in the justice system and judges are required to pay attention to specific circumstances when it comes to sentencing.

Both the Criminal Code and a

1999 Supreme Court decision (R. v. Gladue) state that judges need to account for aboriginal heritage when sentencing.

At sentencing, Crown counsel Grand Lindsay argued Elliott had almost no connection to his First Nations heritage, and that the tragedies in the life of the accused were as a result of poverty and having an alcoholic mother, something that this had little directly to do with being aboriginal.

There is a range of weights trial judges can attribute to the aboriginal heritage of defendants. After argument Monday, the Court of Appeal ruled MacKay had properly considered Elliott’s aboriginal background and the sentence was fit.

Body of missing man found by boaters

anfred Preuss of Chilliwack was steering a Hawaiian outrigger on Harrison Lake on June 18 when someone in his boat spotted what they thought was a partly sunk log.

It turned out to be the body of a young man who went missing after a rafting incident on June 8.

Preuss said they strapped the body to the side of the outrigger, called search and rescue and gave them their GPS location.

“I don’t care to repeat that anytime soon,” Preuss told the Times.

A second man was found by a different group of recreational lake users the next day.

On Tuesday, the BC Coroners Service confirmed the identity of the two deceased men: Daniel Dale

Reid, aged 23, and Gary Duong, aged 25, both of Vancouver.

Reid and Duong were two of approximately 14 individuals on a raft on Harrison Lake on the afternoon of June 8. Both ended up in the water, and were later found not to have reached shore by swimming. They were reported missing at that time, but an immediate search of the area was not successful.

“Our calls for service have gone up dramatically in the last two months and that’s because of the heat,” said assistant fire chief Mike Bourdon.

Incidents of tree, bush, grass and bark mulch fires have increased drastically from four and seven occurrences in March and April respectively to 24 in May and 32 so far in June.

As hot weather and dry conditions persist, fire crews have been busy putting out multiple fires around the city over the last two months.

ow does that old song go? No more pencils, no more books, no more teachers’ dirty looks?

At the end of the 2014-15 school year, we’d like to congratulate all of Chilliwack’s graduating high school students. It’s worth celebrating that hundreds of educated, intelligent and capable young people from our community are marking a rite of passage into the rest of their lives.

A lot of people will tell these grads that their diploma and cap and gown mark a beginning, not an end, and there’s truth to that. But that shouldn’t diminish this achievement. High school graduation is no small victory and it’s important that we recognize and appreciate these kinds of victories, because they don’t happen every day.

In many ways, high school is the hardest thing we ever do, and we’re not just talking about scraping through Physics 12. We’re talking about scraping through Physics 12, while at the same time trying to eat lunch with the cool kids, wear the right style of jeans and get a date for prom.

It’s a balancing act and it’s tricky, but we think high school is supposed to be hard. Students wonder when they’ll ever need to apply trigonometry lessons to real life.

Well, it’s not so much about solving the equations as it is the problems and the challenges.

Congratulations, grads, on this achievement. You did it.

Of racist flags and body art

T

here’s a prolific fool in Chilliwack, well known to the justice system, who has a large, backwards swastika tattooed on his chest.

I saw him once on the steps of the Chilliwack courthouse a couple summers ago, shirtless and rambling to himself. I suspect this individual doesn’t even know what the swastika symbolizes. Doubly so because it’s tattooed backwards. This may, however, have been intentional so it looks correct in mirror selfies such as one on his Facebook page.

Most overtly racist body art is covered up for practical reasons. It’s getting harder to identify individuals who hate.

That’s probably a good thing. But I like to know my enemies before they open their mouths and say something so colossally stupid that I open my big mouth and respond. It’s just awkward.

It used to be so much easier, but since the current Confederate flag flap in South Carolina, things got harder. Ever since a psychopath, who got a gun for his 21st birthday, and who liked the Confederate flag, massacred innocent people sitting in a church.

South Carolina legislators are considering removing this symbol of hatred and slavery. I’m not sure why it’s still up,

PAUL J. HENDERSON @peejayaitch or why the debate is any different than if a government building in Bavaria had the swastika flapping on high.

Amazon stopped selling Confederate flags. But by Tuesday, two of the top five selling items in the “patio, lawn & garden” department on Amazon.com were Confederate flags. You can’t buy them, but the images of the products are still there, recent sales still highlighted. I suppose deleting the thumbnail images and the top sales rankings would turn that list into a lie. As if the flag never existed.

And we can’t have that.

“Political correctness run amok” is what some call it when words and symbols are used that hurt feelings.

It’s always the voice of privilege that feels affronted by political correctness because when society progresses, these folks can no longer have multiple wives, hold slaves, beat up homosexuals, or tear aboriginal children away from their families.

But that was way back. Then those affronted are irked because they can’t beat their wives, segregate restaurants, create anti-gay laws, or beat First Nations children for speaking their language.

Then it gets worse as the decades roll on: progressive politics continues its relentless march towards equality and, well, then what? Women at work? Blacks intermingling with whites? Homosexuality legalized? Cultural genocide against aboriginal peoples frowned upon?

“When will this political correctness stop?” the privileged racist/sexist/homophobe might ask.

The slippery slope that began with equality has led us to get close to an ideal socio-cultural playing field, at least here in Canada. So now the focus is on the subtler things: words spoken and written, symbols waved.

So the privileged racist/sexist/homophobe changes gears: OK, honey, you can have a job just make sure you’re still cooking dinner. Fine Mr. Black Man, walk next to me on the sidewalk but don’t get upset if I hold my wallet a little closer. OK LGBT crowd, do what you want, but do you have to be so proud about it? And you, Chief, yes, that whole cultural genocide thing was uncool, sor-

ry about that. But get over it already.

The Confederate flag means one thing: I hate black people and would like to return to a time when those human beings were considered property.

It’s not a pop-culture icon despite what Dukes of Hazzard fans might like to pretend. It’s not a symbol of freedom (other than the freedom to own slaves), and it’s not a sign that you are a rebel (except that you rebel against those who think people shouldn’t be slaves). And it’s not about a history lesson, except to point out how those who fly it used to hate black people and think they should be property.

The problem with our political correctness getting to the point it is at is that racists, bigots and sexists of all kinds are forced to hold their tongues so we don’t know who they are.

As comedian John Oliver put it: “The Confederate flag is one of those things that should only be seen on T-shirts, belt buckles and bumper stickers to help the rest of us identify the worst people in the world.”

Tattoo it on your chest, take off your shirt and fly that flag of hatred so the rest of us have some idea what you are thinking. And we can avoid you.

Editor: Today, tuition rates for post-secondary institutions are higher than they have ever been before.

Students are required to pay anywhere from 16 to 18 thousand dollars per year and a program usually takes four years.

Students are required to carry this financial burden with them and continue to carry that debt with them longer than ever before.

Even with the rise in tuition, we continue to receive limited support from both the federal and provincial levels of government.

In fact, the BC Liberals have decided to end the Passport to Education program that upon completion would provide students with up to a $1,000 bursary. Instead, the government has decided to only support the trade programs and neglect students interested in pursuing a career in a degree program.

We have the freedom to choose

BY CURTIS FAST Yarrow MB Church

I

t is amazing how much freedom we have in this life and freedom is a beautiful thing.

In Canada we have the freedom to go where we please, the freedom to be who we want to be, to believe and think the things we want and the freedom to make decisions for ourselves.

The freedom to have a voice and to make decisions is a wonderful and powerful thing but as Uncle Ben once told Peter Parker, “with great power comes great responsibility.”

I believe that God created us with the freedom to make choices. Whether those choices are helpful or hurtful to ourselves, others, society or the planet is left up to us.

You can choose to recycle or not, you can choose a Liberal, Conservative, NDP or even Communist party the next time you vote. (I don’t advocate for any of these parties, I’m just saying that we have the freedom to vote for them.) You can choose to help your friends and

family or steal from them.

You can even choose to turn away help when it is offered by others.

Multiple times this month I have offered food, clothes, housing and help to people struggling with various issues and they have politely declined saying they would rather figure things out on their own; they have the freedom to do that.

Our choices almost never only affect ourselves; this is where the responsibility part comes in. If you leave garbage on a hiking trail it can affect plants, animals and other hikers. If you refuse help when you are struggling with something your friends and family possibly lose sleep or live worrying about your well-being.

In the book of Philippians the Apostle Paul tells us, “Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for

your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.”

Jesus modeled a lifestyle like this to us when he came to earth.

Paul goes on to tell us that Jesus is God yet he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges and took

the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.

Jesus died for his beliefs, but he also died so that we can live empowered lives. Jesus died so that you and I could be forgiven for all of our poor decisions and he rose from the grave and sent us his Spirit to be our guide, counsellor and strength as we navigate this life.

If you choose to follow Jesus it does not mean that your life will be perfect, or that you will be perfect, but it does mean that God will fill you with His Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom. ◗ Curtis Fast is the worship director at the Yarrow MB Church.

ACNE MIGRAINE

Works by cleansing blood from the inside, instead of attacking skin with creams or washes from the outside and leaving the actual cause untreated.

Actual Results. <After 1 week, my severe acne became quite mild and after two weeks, it had completely vanished. I suffered for five stressful years of having acne and extremely dry, irritated skin.

Bell Clear Skin “saved my life”. My skin is now beautiful and you would never know I suffered from acne and other skin problems for years. Zach Lustgarten, 18, Oshawa, ON. RED NOSE/CHEEKS ROSACEA gone in less than a week. I was fighting it for thirty years with topical creams and prescriptions without getting satisfaction. I live a healthy life, don’t smoke and don’t drink. People thought a reddish face comes from drinking. This is a myth. Will take it for the rest of my life when needed. Donald E. Gillespie, 56, Innisfil, ON. PSORIASIS<I had severe psoriasis over 95% of my body. For the last five years, I have stunned every doctor and dermatologist. I spent tons of money on remedies.

After I got Bell Clear Skin, I’ve never seen anything work as fast in my life. Within two days I saw my skin clearing #60 NPN 80057652 up. I’m speechless. It was inexpensive compared with what I spent before. Jessica Shantz, 25, Dawson Creek, BC ECZEMA For six years, my family doctor and dermatologist tried many medications and creams. After taking Bell Clear Skin for just a few days, my eczema itching stopped and my face started to clear up. After suffering so long I am amazed with the results. Andy Yuen, 58, Vancouver, BC.

After I found MIGRAID, I was blown away because it really worked within 30 minutes with no side effects. I’m totally amazed. Absolutely floored. Michelle Woodman, 29, Crystal Falls, ON <I was in the hospital for two weeks. They performed tests including MRIs, tried every drug they had. Nothing worked. I was praying to die. My mom found MIGRAID in the health food store. It worked in ten minutes. I couldn’t believe it. I want to express my gratitude. Christy Logue, 32, Tulsa, OK < For fifteen #15 NPN 80041508 years I tried all the OTCs as well as prescription drugs that were a lot more expensive than MIGRAID.

The Cascadia Wind Ensemble will provide an amazing finish to Canada Day celebrations as they provide the music for the fireworks show at the end of the evening.

Amazing T talent takes to stage for celebration

he Chances Entertainment Stage will be filled with amazing local talent and a few imports to make this year’s Canada Day celebration at Townsend Field one to remember.

“We go live at 5:45 p.m. on the dot, with opening remarks from local dignitaries and First Nations representatives,”event organizer Trevor McDonald said. “Our national anthem will be performed by an amazing 10-year-old singer, Maya Earl, who leads us into a fantastic selection of entertainers

including the Curbside Traditional Jazz Band, local country favourite Todd Richard, special performances from the Goddess Movement, Haley Chase and the Fever and as a special added attraction, Bobby Bruce brings his “Canadian A” tribute to Canadian Music to the stage to set the tone for the most amazing fireworks display put together by Kevan Siggs.”

But it wouldn’t be a Canada Day celebration without the proper start

› Canada Day Celebrations One-stop celebration to the day and that means the traditional Kiwanis pancake breakfast at 8 a.m. at Evergreen Hall, featuring their famous pancakes, the Chilliwack Community Band and local dignitaries.

“Our hope is to have people enjoy the traditional pancake breakfast and then head off to experience whatever daytime festivities they may have with family or friends, then bring their family and friends back to Townsend Park at five o’clock to enjoy what promises to be an amazing evening stage show,” McDonald said.

All the festivities for Chilliwack’s Canada Day party are taking place at Townsend Field this year.

“In the past, you watched entertainment at the grandstand and then had to move to Townsend Park for the fireworks,” McDonald said. “Not this year, this is a one-stop party!”

A party that includes the YMCA Kids Zone in the north end zone of the field.

The kid-friendly zone will feature face painting, crafts and all kinds of games to keep the young ones busy.

Organizers have also added the Chartwell Senior Zone with special bleacher seating, tents and Chartwell reps on hand to ensure a comfortable viewing experience and VIP parking for buses from all senior centres in the valley for easy access.

The gates open at Townsend Park at 5 p.m. with a great assortment of food vendors and picnic tables in the main parking lot off Ashwell Road. Bring your appetite and sample great local food from The Wildcat Grill, Shandahar Hut, Guerilla Q, and the Tin Cow to name a few.

After visiting the food trucks, bring your lawn chairs and blankets on to the football field to enjoy this years Chances Entertainment Stage.

The show stopper, said McDonald, will be the 25-piece Cascadia Wind Ensemble performing during the fireworks show.

“It will be our own Symphony of Fire,” he said.

RCMP, Griffin Security and Streetwise Traffic Control will all be on site to ensure a safe, family friendly celebration. The show is set to close at 10:30 p.m. and organizers ask that you car pool if possible as parking is limited near the site. ◗ For more on the Canada Day celebration visit www. chilliwack.ca/canadaday.

And Gadd himself is a big name in the outdoor adventure scene, known most recently for being the first to climb the frozen Niagara Falls. The Red Bull athlete has tackled a number of other exceptional feats in his 47 years.

Gadd has been to Chilliwack before to complete certification courses for his own qualification.

According to Ault, Chilliwack is the perfect distance from the ocean for moderate to strong, but smooth conditions for paragliding as it gets a good inflow wind from the sea without the dangerously strong thermals that frequent interior B.C. air.

Read Your Chilliwack Times Online

www.chilliwacktimes.com The City of Chilliwack is implementing an automated billing system to invoice property owners for false alarms which will come into full effect in September 2015.

What is a false alarm?

A false alarm is the activation of an alarm system resulting in the attendance of the RCMP or the Fire Department at the property when there is no apparent or actual evidence to merit such a call. (See Bylaw No. 3747 for a full description.)

Why is the City implementing this bylaw?

Starting in September 2015 the City will invoice property owners for false alarms in order to encourage people to reduce false alarms, which cause an unnecessary expense and take RCMP members or fire fighters away from real emergencies.

Ensure that your security company calls you first in the event of an alarm.

How can I avoid getting invoiced for a false alarm?

Thank you for taking steps today to ensure you minimize false alarms.

Please visit chilliwack.com/falsealarm for more information.

Aaron and Noella of Ossome Acres, just two of the many Chilliwack farmers growing delicious, fresh food.

MLA’s Top 10 ag list

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

C

hilliwack MLA John Martin has a thing or two to say about a recent visit by NDP MLA Lana Popham and her opposition committee on agriculture and food.

Popham, four other NDP MLAs and Independent MLA Vicki Huntington were in Chilliwack for their third stop on a provincewide tour to hear from producers and citizens about farming issues.

In advance of Popham’s visit (and after the June 11 Eaten Path, which focused on that visit), Martin said agriculture in Chilliwack is just fine, thank you very much.

“I know the NDP always likes to paint a picture of doom and gloom, but they need to look at the facts,” Martin said.

“I prepared a top 10 list for those less familiar with the success that we are currently enjoying in agriculture, and point out the growing demand for delicious B.C. products.”

Martin and the provincial government say 2014 was a record year for the industry in B.C., with agrifoods exports rising by 11 per cent reaching an all-time high.

“If the Opposition really wants a taste of the Fraser Valley, they should come here on a Saturday instead and visit the Downtown Chilliwack Farmers Market,” Martin said.

MLA John Martin’s top 10 reasons to support agriculture in the Fraser Valley 1. Local products taste good: The Fraser Valley is famous for producing some of the freshest and tastiest food in Canada. From dairy products, to poultry, to berries and even beer. Old Yale Brewing’s Sasquatch Stout was named the best beer of the year at the 2014 Canadian Brewing Awards.

2. Support local farmers: We depend on local farmers to produce the food we eat, so we can support our neighbours in the agricultural industry by choosing to buy local whenever we can.

3. The Fraser Valley has a Centre of Excellence for Agriculture: The University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) plays an indispensable role in the agricultural economy here in our region and beyond.

In April 2014 the B.C. government marked UFV’s 40th anniversary by opening the Agriculture Centre of Excellence at UFV’s Chilliwack campus at Canada Education Park. It includes a large demonstration barn and North America’s tallest green-

house at 11.5 metres.

4. Protection of the ALR and fertile farmland: Currently 10 per cent of the land inside the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) generates 85 cent of total farm sales in British Columbia, the government recognizes the importance of preserving the ALR as a vital resource.

5. Know where your food comes from: Local farmers go to a great deal of effort to making their products the best and the most healthy on the market.

We also have some of the highest health standards in the world compared to many other jurisdictions. What better way to find out more about the food you eat than to talk to a farmer at your local market.

6. Local B.C. agricultural products are highly nutritious: We all want to be healthy and the best way to avoid highly processed food is to support local businesses in Chilliwack like The Farm Store at Fraser Valley Specialty Poultry, Hofstede’s Country Barn, and Smits & Co.w Farm Cheese.

7. Enjoy the season: It’s great to have seasonal foods available at local farmers markets but there are many agricultural producers in the Fraser Valley that operate all year round in the poultry and dairy industries. We depend on them for our food security in British Columbia. Another good way to enjoy the season is be attending events such as the Chilliwack Corn Maze & Pumpkin Patch, the Chilliwack Fair and Yarrow Days.

8. Variety is the spice of life: Farmers in the Fraser Valley know that people love to have choices, especially when it comes to impressing your family and friends with new and innovative products. Farmers also supply locally owned and operated restaurants who use locally sourced products like Bozzini’s, Vita Bella Bistro, Bravo Restaurant & Lounge, and Little Beetle Bistro.

9. Connect with our rural heritage: If you have ever felt stressed-out trying to locate healthy foods in a crowded grocery store, it might feel a little more relaxing to take in the smells of fresh produce at a local farmers market instead.

10. Feel inspired by your food: Tired of the same old food on the menu? Why not try something that you have never tried before? Local vendors and farmers markets are great places to talk to people and discover tips and new recipes at places like the Downtown Chilliwack Farmers Market on Saturdays and The Eco Market on Wednesdays.

he Kora. The Ngoni. The Zheng Zither. Visitors to this year’s Harrison Festival of the Arts running July 11 to 19 in Harrison Hot Springs will notice a particular type of diversity on display: an amazing array of string instruments from around the world.

With sounds ranging from gentle to the intense, these unique, sometimes rare and historically significant instruments have emerged from cultural histories in Africa, China, the Middle East, North and South America, as well as Europe.

Cultural diversity has always been at the core of the Festival’s mandate. Harrison Festival Society Artistic Director, Andy Hillhouse, is very mindful to seek out international artists, but admits his own tastes have played a part in this year’s programming.

“As a string player my ear is drawn to music that involves interesting string sounds and textures,” Hillhouse explains.

However, he knows he is not alone as there is a large fan base for this particular family of sounds. For instance, the MalianNgoni master Bassekou Kouyaté is someone with

String instruments will be plucked, strummed and even hammered with sticks at this year’s gathering

a broad appeal. Fans of the blues and rocking electric guitar will appreciate him as much as aficionados of West African music as he and his sons run their traditional plucked Ngoni lutes through effects and play them with virtuosic ability and soul.

“In short, they rock out on this ancient instrument,” Hillhouse said.

Also from West Africa, the now Vancouver resident Boujou Cissoko is a heriditary player of the kora, a string instrument that exists somewhere between a lute and a harp.

Audiences will also enjoy the Chinese group Red Chamber as they play an assortment of string instruments including the plucked pipa and ruan, and the zheng zither. The traditional repertoire of their homeland is intersected with other world string traditions, such as bluegrass and Celtic music.

The Persian family band Vashaan Ensemble play a wide variety of

historically significant instruments from the Middle East, such as the ‘oud (from which the English word lute takes its name), the tar, ancestor to our word guitar, and the santour, a type of hammered dulcimer.

For fans of the Western string traditions, the Festival will also feature some bands that use string accompaniment in beautiful and sometimes inventive arrangements to accompany song.

The Once, from Newfoundland, is a deceptively simple set up—just a woman singing with two players accompanying her on guitar, bouzouki, and sometimes fiddle. However, the combination of her voice, one that goes right to the soul, and the simple sound of the strings is magical.

As well, the young band The Bombadils are on the surface a bluegrass band with fiddle, guitar, upright { See FESTIVAL, page A28 }

One of these people will experience some form of hearing loss during their lifetime.

1 in 4 Canadians identify themselves as deaf, or hard of hearing.* Hearing loss does not discriminate by race, age, sex or occupation and can sneak up on you at any time, causing confusion, frustration and stress for you and your loved ones.

Unaddressed hearing loss can have an impact on your earning potential, and in seniors, can put them at a higher risk of developing dementia, a loss of brain function that can affect memory, thinking, language, judgement and behaviour (Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine).

CREATE LASTING MEMORIES THIS SUMMER

There’s been a lot of buzz surrounding the Fraser Valley’s hottest cottage and RV resort. Now there is even more reason for excitement! During Bridal Falls RV Cottage Resort’s Grand Opening, Saturday, June 27, they will unveil Canada’s only 24’ wide two bedroom and two bathroom cottage as well as its state-of-the-art 12,000 square foot Clubhouse.

“Our new two bedroom and two bath-

room cottages are the country’s largest park model cottages,” says Ron Sturm, owner/ partner in the resort. “And the club-house and outdoor pool are ready just in time for the summer.”

The log cabin features event facilities for weddings or business use, dining room, 55-seat theatre, gym, games/cards rooms, lounge, dance floor and reading/library area.

“There is also a 2,000+ square foot sun deck, looking out over the gardens, the pool and hot-tub deck,” adds Sturm.

Bill and Linda Nokes were sold as soon as they visited the resort.

“When we saw the show cottage and how beautiful the setting was, we decided we wanted to live here full time,” says Linda.

“We’ve been in resorts in Phoenix, Arizona and throughout California, but we had never seen such gorgeous cottages along with all these amazing amenities. We were also impressed with the price, by far the best value compared to anywhere else in B.C.” Nestled amongst the Cascades Mountain Range, close to three lakes and unparalleled fishing on the Fraser River, Bridal Falls RV Cottage Resort is a year-round community where buyers have the option to put their RV on their lot or purchase a cottage.

“We are the only year-round resort

development in North America to offer 100 amp service, cable and natural gas to every lot,” says Sturm. “But what distinguishes us from other RV parks is our location at the centre of the Fraser Valley recreation hub, only minutes away from everything.”

The cottages feature fully covered decks, natural gas, a stainless steel kitchen appliance package and bedrooms with built-in storage above the bed along with night tables. (Upgrades include a washer

and drier, skylights and sliding patio doors.)

Bridal Falls is a Mecca for the outdoor enthusiast - You are minutes away from numerous lakes, rivers, including Cultus, Chilliwack and Harrison lakes; as well as golf courses, parks and the Bridal Falls Waterslides. In addition, bike or hike the many local trails or meander the Cheam Lake bird sanctuary.

“There is salmon, sturgeon and fly fishing on the Fraser River, which is only five minutes away,” says Sturm, adding the staff can assist with guided fishing tours.

Mark your Calendars: Saturday, June 27th from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. celebrate the Grand Opening and enjoy a FREE countrystyle barbecue, activities, giveaways and fun for the whole family. P.S. Bring your bathing suits.

During the Grand Opening only you can purchase your own cottage from $199,900 or lots from $94,900 – this is a whopping $15,000 SAVINGS. The Bridal Falls RV Cottage Resort Presentation Centre, located on Cheam Road, in Bridal Falls, is currently open daily from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information or to book a private viewing, call 604-7454104, email info@discoverbridalfalls.com or visit www.discoverbridalfalls.com.

Dear Dutchess (Joan) 12 years have slipped by without you. But as I reflect on the past I think of these things. The sun was shining the day we met. We laughed, we shared many happy moments together.

We thought we had all kinds of years ahead, but that was not to be. As each season that comes my way, one thing that is for sure and that is my dear Dutchess is this, I miss you Dutchess until we meet again.

Enjoy the roses and flowers in God’s garden and all that heaven has for you.

NOTICE OF PROPOSED LOCAL REVENUE LAWS AND INVITATION TO MAKE REPRESENTATIONS NOTICE IS GIVEN, pursuant to section 6 of the First Nations Fiscal Management Act (hereafter referred to as the “FNFMA”), that Cheam First Nation (“The First Nation”) proposes to enact the Cheam First Nation Property Assessment Law, 2015 and the Cheam First Nation Property Taxation Law, 2015 (hereafter referred to as the “Proposed Laws”).

DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED LAWS: The Proposed Laws are a property taxation law and a property assessment law, both made under the authority of section 5(1)(a) of the FNFMA. The property assessment law provides for the assessment and valuation of interests in land on the reserve lands of the First Nation, including appointing assessors, inspecting property, preparing assessment rolls, and mailing assessment notices. The property assessment law also provides a process for reconsideration of assessments and for a right of appeal to an independent assessment review board. The property taxation law establishes a taxation regime that taxes interests in land in the reserve, and includes provisions for exemptions, grants, preparing tax rolls and tax notices, the levy of penalties and interest on unpaid taxes, and the collection and enforcement of unpaid taxes.

A COPY OF THE PROPOSED LAWS may be obtained from Vivian Lindstrom at the Cheam First Nation business office, or obtained online from the First Nations Gazette, Part I: Notices, at www.fng.ca.

COUNCIL OF THE FIRST NATION INVITES WRITTEN REPRESENTATIONS regarding the Proposed Laws. Written representations may be made to the Council for 60 days after the date of this notice.

PERSONS WISHING TO MAKE A WRITTEN REPRESENTATION must deliver the document containing the representations to: Chief and Council, Cheam First Nation, 52130 Old Yale Road, Rosedale BC, V0X 1X1. Representations should be made on or before 4:00 pm, August 25, 2015 in order to ensure consideration by Council. Before making the Proposed Laws, Council will consider all written representations received in accordance with this Notice. Please note that Council is not able to extend the public notice period.

CONTACT INFORMATION: For further information or questions regarding the Proposed Laws, this Notice, or the making of written representations to Council, please contact Vivian Lindstrom at 604-794-7924.
