Pipe bombs found near councillor’s business

one count of possession of stolen property, Quinnell pleaded guilty to 22 counts on Oct. 16.

Quinnell had a variety of scams. In some cases he would convince a Good Samaritan to “lend” him money for a tow truck after a supposed accident, or they would give him money through some other convoluted scheme.

In other cases he promised he could get someone a great deal on carpet or countertops or appliances, take money and disappear.

Yet other cases were simple distraction scams where he would make off with a wallet or a purse.

In one case recounted to the Times by one of the victims who was in court last week, a man rang the doorbell of her home in a gated community and pretended to be the son of a neighbour. He said he needed a ride to the hospital, and eventually convinced her to give up $400. He then stole her cellphone and $60 when she wasn’t looking.

In another scam recounted in court, Quinnell

en Popove wasn’t surprised to find garbage dumped next to a dumpster behind his Alexander Avenue tire shop Tuesday morning. It happens all the time.

But when one of his employees threw a bag into the dumpster and it ripped open, they were surprised by what they found.

“We found three or four pipe bombs,” the city councillor and owner of Ken’s Tire & Wheel said later in the day.

“I’ve never seen one before but it was six to eight inches long, twoand-a-half inches wide with a wick EB IRST on the end of it First reported on w i t h e l e c t r i c a l chilliwacktimes.com tape.”

Chilliwack RCMP confirmed Monday that what they found were suspicious in nature, but Popove said police confirmed to him they were pipe bombs and two of the three pipes were “live.”

Police say they were called at approximately 8 a.m. on Dec. 8 to investigate suspicious items found in a dumpster.

Popove said when general duty officers arrived, they took a photo of the items and sent them off. Soon after, the building was evacuated and the street was blocked off.

“The safety of the public is our immediate concern,” said Chilliwack

A grifter’s

sad tale Fueled by drug and gambling addictions, scam artist Donald Quinnell left a trail of victims in his wake 7264030

It’s next to impossible to tell when a confidence scam artist is telling the truth.

That was the broad sentiment from some victims of Donald Quinnell, the man who faces a five-year prison term for close to two dozen counts of fraud and theft of elderly people in Chilliwack and Agassiz last year.

The 48-year-old got choked up in the prisoner’s box during his sentencing hearing in provincial court in Chilliwack on Dec. 3. Crocodile tears, according to the elderly victims that remained in court “He had to say that,” said one victim after Quinnell’s apology in court.

The victims, all of whom are in their mid-60s to 94-years-old, can’t be named because of a court-ordered publication ban.

Facing a lengthy trial and 15 counts of fraud under $5,000, 14 counts of theft under $5,000 and

The lives of many children and adults in Mexico are being changed by the good works of Chilliwack-based One Life One Chance Ministries.

Chilliwack couple make their living through construction company, but they make a life through helping indigenous ministries in Mexico and around the world

BY KEN GOUDSWAARD kgoudswaard@chilliwacktimes.com

ob and Brenda Wall found their purpose 23 years ago. They know others are still looking . . . and they want to help.

Because helping is what the Walls are all about. As the executive directors of One Life One Chance Ministries (OLOCM), the Walls have built an organization that has Christian faith at its core and a need to spread the kingdom of God. What makes them different, and perhaps more able to do good, is that they aren’t going it alone. At the core of their vision statement is their desire to encourage and equip Christian believers to contribute to a “village” concept, changing hearts through community service and partnership to the people of Mexico and abroad. To do this, OLOCM has been reaching out to partner with people and ministries. They aren’t looking to be their own church. They simply want to link existing ministries in a common goal.

And it seems to be working, as OLOCM’s growth has the Walls seeking helping hands.

“People want to feel they are a part of something,” say Rob and Brenda.

Serving is transformational, as the Walls know firsthand. Rob’s first trip to Mexico was with a youth group and it’s something he highly recommends for families.

“It becomes generational,” he says. “You acquire a world view. Everyone should go at least once.”

In keeping with their philosophy to support rather than form their own church, OLCOM uses the base at Los Olivos (on the Baja Peninsula) to connect with indigenous ministries.

They act as a neutral ministry site from which they can undertake large projects such as building new homes or as simple a thing as serving a meal through community outreach. And all of this is done through the local church.

“It’s a hand up, not a hand out,” explains Rob. “We’re trying to be as invisible as possible. We don’t want to create entitlement.”

The multi-year plan is to develop everything from an orphanage and educational facility, to basic medical and social services.

“We are a full-time neutral presence down there,” say Rob and Brenda.

And the need for help is great. Because of a lack of government support, many poorer Mexicans find themselves without an ally when it comes to basic living and working conditions.

Females are especially vulnerable as they are seen as “having less value,” says Rob. “There is a lot of abuse.”

“We are trying to make sure they get an education, it is a big drive for us,” says Brenda.

Again, it’s the hand up, not a hand out philosophy that OLOCM employs to enact change.

“We are working with kids to not have them go into the fields,” says Rob. Seniors too are at risk when they become too old to work in the field.

“They are tossed away,” says Rob. And while mission work can be emotionally { See ONE LIFE, page A19 }

ALC kills cemetery owner’s request to expand plots City backed proposal, owner will appeal decision

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

A

local cemetery owner has had his plan to expand buried by the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC).

Greg Peterson, owner of Vedder View Gardens Cemetery, applied to the ALC in January to expand Vedder View Gardens into the southern 2.28 hectares (ha) of an adjacent Watson Road property he bought in 2009, leaving 3.64 ha of that property to farming.

In a decision dated Nov. 16, the ALC panel found: “While the panel recognizes that the current cemetery . . . predates the ALR, it does not

{ PIPE BOMBS, from page A1 }

It was on this last point that Peterson made his fervent pitch for the application. He said, essentially, Chilliwack faces a cemetery shortage within four years if his application is rejected.

“With Chilliwack’s ever-increasing population, a specific portion of this increase falls within the over-55 segment which justifies the city’s various initiatives to enhance the lives and services to those people,” Peterson wrote in his application. “But what do we do when they die?”

Vedder View currently has just 140 casket burial spaces available to the

believe that further expansion into the ALR is an appropriate use of land that is intended for agriculture.”

In his original application, Peterson commissioned an agrologist who found most of the property to have poor quality soil.

The city’s Agricultural Advisory Committee supported the application, saying that the cemetery expansion would benefit the community as a whole with limited loss to agriculture.

And at its Jan. 6 meeting, city council agreed to forward the application on to the ALC “with support.”

general public, plus 120 undeveloped, and is only one of two cemeteries in the city open to the general public.

There are a number of cemeteries on local First Nations reserve land used by those communities.

There are also ones owned by Carman United, St. Mary’s Catholic and Greendale Mennonite, which are open to members of those respective churches.

No new cemetery property has been made available since 1992 when Vedder View Gardens opened, according to Peterson.

In supporting the application, it wasn’t the supposed shortage of cemetery space that swayed city council.

“For council, and me specifically at the time, the private sector consideration of remaining capacity didn’t weigh into the decision to support the application,” Coun. Sam Waddington told the Times. “I simply saw the application as a creative way to reuse the existing non-farmed section of the land and actually provide a net benefit to agriculture in the process by improving the rest of the farmable portion of land.”

Peterson did not want to comment on the application because he plans to appeal the ALC decision.

Fewer teaching days approved T

he addition of two more non-instructional days for Chilliwack School District students in the new year is yet another example of a provincial government funding shortfall.

That’s the opinion of District Parent Advisory Council (DPAC) president Justine Hodge.

“Cuts to funding have already been so deep that districts were forced to add an additional week to spring break because they can’t afford to keep their doors open,” Hodge told the Times. “They were forced to decrease instruction time to the absolute minimum.”

Parents were notified in late November of the two new non-instructional days on Feb. 22 and April 25, which brings the total of non-instructional days to eight for the year.

The two new days are so teachers can familiarize themselves with new curriculum coming to elementary and middle schools next year and high school the year after.

“At the heart of British Columbia’s redesigned curriculum are core competencies, essential learning and literacy and numeracy foundations,” Superintendent of Schools Evelyn Novak said in the letter to parents and guardians dated Nov. 26.

Man accused in string of mail thefts a no-show

A man sentenced to jail and probation in October for a string of mail thefts from community mailboxes this summer faces more charges.

David McGill was sentenced to 31 days in jail and 18 months probation on Oct. 20.

On Aug. 28, Mounties investigating a string of mailbox thefts dating back to early 2015 were led to McGill and his blue pickup truck. Police followed a trail of eight damaged mailboxes through Agassiz to Deroche until they stopped and arrested McGill in Mission.

He was scheduled back in court Tuesday facing fraud and possess/use stolen credit card charges from July 22, but he did not show up and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest.

Witness identifcation key to Olson case A local drug dealer facing serious charges in connection with three

➤ COURT BRIEFS separate incidents over three weeks in the fall of 2014 went to trial for one of those incidents Tuesday.

Jonathon David Olson’s trial for possession of stolen property, flight from a peace officer, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and operation of a motor vehicle while disqualified began in provincial court in Chilliwack.

Olson’s defence lawyer David Donnelly told the court the entire matter hinged on witness identification of the accused.

He also said he was planning on presenting alibi evidence.

Crown counsel Brian Fell agreed the case

hinged on identification, but also the expert fingerprint analysis he planned to present. As for the identification, that was to be based on Olson’s unique facial tattoos.

Olson’s trial is for an alleged incident on Sept.

25, 2014.

He is also in the middle of a trial for a Sept. 13, 2014 incident where he is accused of unlawful confinement and extortion after he and another man are alleged to have beaten a lower level drug dealer and pepper-sprayed the man’s

genitals.

Olson also faces robbery and weapons charges alongside prolific offender Troy James for an alleged home invasion at a mistaken address on Oct. 4, 2014. The two men are accused of terrorizing a young man at his home while looking for drugs and/or money and asking for a man named “Gus,” according to sources. Someone by that name who has had contacts with police lived one block away. The two are alleged to have later car-jacked Stuart Ellis,

a man known to police who was found murdered in an SUV on Hazel Street in January 2015.

Olson’s trial on the Sept. 25 matter was scheduled for two days to end Wednesday after the Times went to press.

Police still seeking cold case hit and run driver Chilliwack RCMP are asking for the public’s assistance to identify the driver of car allegedly involved in a collision with a pedestrian downtown in October.

On Oct. 22 at approx-

imately 1 p.m., police received a report that a 21-year-old woman was struck by a car in the crosswalk of the intersection at Yale Road and Kipp Avenue. The vehicle continued to travel along Kipp Avenue and did not stop. The pedestrian was treated and released from hospital with non-life threatening injuries, and the incident was reported to police by the victim later that day.

The suspect vehicle is described as a red Pontiac Sunfire with damage to the back of the car,

driven by a caucasian male in his late 20s or early 30s.

“As police follow all leads in our investigation we are also reaching out for the public’s assistance to identify the driver of the Sunfire,” Chilliwack RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Mike Rail said.

Anyone with information of this event is asked to contact the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or, to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS). ◗ Compiled by Paul J. Henderson

Make your mark Saturday Notorious for their poor voter turnout, residents urged to vote in school board trustee byelection

Paula DeWit DeWit is a a local musician and director of the Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra. She says her objective as a school trustee is “to raise student academic performance and increase throughput to university and colleges.”

“By bringing my core values of hard work and collaboration, coupled with my life experiences and knowledge, I will be able to make a real difference,” DeWit says.

Her Facebook campaign page is “Paula DeWit for School Trustee.”

John Edwards Edwards is trained as a registered nurse and a registered psychiatric nurse, works as a medical sales representative and has an extensive resume in the field. He says, among other things, he will use his healthcare and business background to advocate for more core funding for the district to support all children including those with special needs, gifted students, students with mental health challenges, students from low income families and aboriginal students.

He has experience on a number of boards in Quebec and the U.S., served as president of the Rotary Club of Surrey and is a recipient of a Rotary Paul Harris Fellowship in recognition of his community work.

Angelina Gosselin Gosselin is an RCMP constable with extensive experience working for the force at the community level as a First Nations policing constable, a community/youth constable and more. She is currently on an educational leave from the RCMP where she is working as a community wellness worker within Sto:lo Service Agency’s Health Services, while attending the Justice Institute of British Columbia. With over 18 years of volunteering within communities she’s worked and lived in, Gosselin says she wants to do her part to support all youth in attaining their education goals.

Four of Gosselin’s children have graduated through the Chilliwack

school district and her youngest is set to do the same in 2017.

Her website: www.angelinagosselin.com Her Facebook campaign is “Angelina Gosselin, SD33 School Trustee Campaign.”

Karen Jarvis Jarvis says her involvement with parent advisory committees, the Chilliwack District Parent Advisory Committee as well as sitting as a public member with the Chilliwack Healthier Community, has given her the opportunity to serve within the community and she wants “to put unity back into the community.”

Jarvis ran for school board in the 2014 general election and finished ninth out of 13 candidates.

Her Facebook campaign page is “Karen Jarvis Candidate for Chilliwack School Trustee.”

Brian Mielke Mielke is an entrepreneur, and owner of a manufacturing business and a software development company. He has lived in Chilliwack for 10 years.

“I can’t say enough about the frontline talent and support personnel that we have in School District 33. I am very concerned about the defunding of the public school system. The inability of the current provincial government to hear the educators is disappointing to say the least. It illuminates the importance of the voice of parents in this equation.”

Marion Mussell Mussell has worked as an educator, administrator and as a private contractor in the field of social service. She has a B.A. from the University of British Columbia and a Masters of Education from Simon Fraser University. She has extensive experience on a number of boards and believes an effective school board understands the distinction between policy development and implementation and has a clear sense of the difference between its role and that of senior management.

She has been a resident of Chilliwack for over 40 years.

Mussell ran for school board in the 2014 general election and finished 10th out of 13 candidates.

Her Facebook campaign page is “Marion L Mussell for Chilliwack School Trustee.”

Slesse middle and Sardis secondary, and after his time at the board office he was hired as a parttime consultant to assist with the design and building of Chilliwack’s three newest schools. He calls service as a trustee “an opportunity to give back to my community, a community that has been so supportive of me and my family.”

His Facebook campaign page is “Bob Patterson for School Trustee.”

Megan Praat Under the tagline “Youth Supporting Youth,” 18-year-old Megan Praat is running in the byelection in one of the first elections she is even allowed to vote in. Praat says she “can offer a unique, current perspective to the Chilliwack School Board by representing the youth demographic in our education system.” At 18, her resume isn’t too deep, but she served as Chilliwack secondary’s student president last year and has been a local youth advocate for seven years, in addition to spending time volunteering. Further, she says she is co-owner of Urban Sprout, a cafe soon to open in downtown Chilliwack.

Her Facebook campaign page: “Megan Praat for SD33 School-Trustee.”

Perry Sherstobetoff Sherstobetoff’s personal Facebook page says he is a mortgage advisor at CIBC. He has no public campaign Facebook page, and did not respond to a request for a bio.

Robert Stelmaschuk Stelmaschuk is a retired B.C. government employee who worked for 30 years in children and family development and corrections. He is married, has two sons, three grandchildren. He has a diploma in commerce and criminology in addition to other educational experience.

Dealing with holiday stress

◗ Publisher

T

he holiday season can be a time of good cheer, with excitement over gift giving and spending time with family, the joy of attending seasonal events and the wonder of viewing colourfully decorated homes and public areas.

But not everyone has a rosy impression of the season.

Many things can leave one feeling added stress, and at worst, depression.

Worries over money are common. Many of us place a lot of pressure on ourselves to find the right gifts for people, or feel like we’ve spent enough. Others worry that they simply won’t have enough to buy gifts for children or others.

In traditional and blended families, the pull can be strong to try pleasing everyone and scheduling a gathering time that works for all, regardless of how unrealistic it may be.

For people who lost a loved one during the year and are facing the first Christmas without them, grief can take a heavy toll.

People are reminded to acknowledge their feelings, whether those are sadness, anxiety, being overwhelmed, or others. Reaching out to friends or family members, maybe going out for coffee or lunch to talk things over, can be a good way to avoid feeling isolated or to prevent resentment from brewing inside.

A heart-warming rising tide of help

D

oubt, cynicism, despair . . . it’s easy to be struck with these sentiments when we see the poverty and tragedy in the world.

Tumult abounds but at the community level, here in Chilliwack, it’s remarkable how charitable people are.

I was at the studio of 89.5 The Drive this week chatting with local music man Trevor McDonald and radio personality Sadie about charitable acts we’ve seen or been involved with in Chilliwack. I mentioned the subject and the two had so much to say I couldn’t get a word in.

I’m not alone in seeing a rising tide of help for others that is heart-warming.

From the response to the Syrian refugee crisis to the annual Christmas surge in giving to the every-other-day-of-the-year events, Chilliwack is generous.

To wit, in just two hours on Dec. 7, the Chilliwack Fire Department, along with Search and Rescue, Emergency Social Services and Scouts Canada pulled in 18,000 food items and $1,500 for the Salvation Army Food Bank.

On Dec. 20, the RCMP, Chilliwack Community Services and Jim’s Pizzeria hold the third annual Christmas Pancake Breakfast for 10 deserving families.

As for the Syrian refugees, a number of organizations, individuals and churches

PAUL J. HENDERSON @peejayaitch have stepped up, including Refugees and Chilliwack (REaCH), a group of local women committed to raising funds to sponsore a Syrian refugee family.

REaCH held a black-tie fundraiser at Bravo Restaurant on Tuesday and have a $25 burger and beer fundraiser set for Dec. 16 at Society Gathering House.

Speaking of Syria, a local woman has created “Carry the Future Fraser Valley” to collect soft-structured baby carriers to donate to refugees.

Often a person or a community organization doing something great is made even better by a corporate or business sponsor. Two examples: First is the obvious and important donations to the Salvation Army Chistmas Kettles. Local realtor Sabrina vandenBrink decided that not only would her team volunteer at a kettle, they would match every penny donated that day up to $2,000.

Then there are the Chilliwack Chicks, a group of local women who have achieved the honour of top female fund-

raising team for the last five years at the CIBC Run for the Cure. The group raised $91,200 and is looking to hit $100,000 for 2016. This year local business Auld Phillips donated a cheque for a little over $9,200 to the cause.

But there’s more.

Sadie told me of a group handing out backpacks full of stuff to homeless individuals downtown this week, and a woman I’ve chatted with is filling purses full of items for homeless women and will be handing them out at Five Corners on Dec. 11.

Of course, the holiday season brings this to the forefront, but there are those who do remarkable things all year long, such as SPARKS and Chilliwack Bowls of Hope, to name two.

SPARKS is Special People Acts of Random Kindness Shared and is a non-denominational group of local people who feed between 150 and 200 people every Sunday, rain or shine, downtown. On Dec. 20 at 4 p.m., SPARKS is holding a “Handups Dinner” at the Senior Rec Centre at 9400 College St. And Chilliwack Bowls of Hope feeds hundreds of kids at school who would have otherwise gone without every week.

Facebook is an amazing place to waste time, but it’s also a good place to connect and spread positive energy. Recently, for

example, there was a tornado of support for a guy named Doug who delivered pizzas for Domino’s and who had his car stolen. Vehicles get stolen all the time, but as someone pointed out to me, one person’s petty crime is another person’s life-changing challenge. According to Doug, the car was found and it’s “toast.”

Someone created a GoFundMe account to raise $2,000 for Doug to replace his car.

Which brings this entire story full circle as the Chilliwack Times is spearheading the 12th annual Christmas Car Giveaway. One Doug supporter said on social media she had already written a nomination for him to receive the free car given away in conjunction with Fix Auto Chilliwack, Valley Toyota and Simpson Auto. Deadline for nominations is tomorrow, Dec. 11.

But there you are. More charity than I can keep track of. This is just, literally, stuff that has blown across my desk or through my Facebook feed, and it likely overlooks tons of other good works.

It’s easy to be glum, and it’s easy to be concerned at the need in our society.

But it’s cool to see a motivated response from regular citizens to make a positive difference in the lives of those in need at this time of year and beyond.

Merry Christmas indeed.

Trade missions have produced returns Editor: There are significant errors that need correcting in the piece published in the Dec. 3 Chilliwack Times entitled “Trade missions fail to deliver bang for buck.”

Our economy has benefitted enormously from trade missions and in particular our focus on Asian markets has attracted investment, increased exports and helped B.C. diversify. The proof is in the numbers.

The value of B.C. exports—wood, agrifoods and other resources—to China has increased by 375 per cent over the last 10 years. This past mis-

Please remember, brevity is the soul of wit. sion was one of our most successful ever, and the 45 agreements signed in China will add an estimated $1.4 billion worth of trade and investment to our economy.

The writer wrongly assumes that the sums reflected in the news release issued is the total value of the deals made on the last mission.

The figures are those of companies who chose to make statements on the value of their deals signed. Other companies share figures with government on condition that government respects the confidentiality of their business agreements to maintain their competitiveness. It’s the sum total of both those groups that reflect the estimates of the value of deals made during the mission.

The writer also fails to acknowledge the importance of building relationships with senior executives and government officials in powerful and emerging economies. Nothing takes the place of face-to-face meetings and discussion of shared interests to spark ideas and help make B.C. top of mind when future opportunities present themselves.

Over the past decade our work around attracting foreign direct investment has facilitated $14.5 billion into our economy. All in all, a pretty good return on investment for taxpayers.

MP didn’t question our security forces Editor: Re: Strahl needs to support our new government, letters Dec. 3 Chilliwack Times.

In my recent editorial on the Syrian refugee crisis, far from complaining about the Trudeau government’s decision to break its campaign commitment to bring 25,000 Syrian refugees into Canada before the year’s end, I applauded it. I’m glad that the Liberals have agreed with the Conservative Party and immigration experts that their original time table was not realistic.

At no time have I ever questioned the competency of the RCMP, CSIS, or CBSA. When it comes to processing new immigrants while ensuring the security of Canadians, we have the world’s best.

However, these professional men

APPROVED OVER THE PHONE

and women need time to do the tasks government sets for them.

Again, I’m glad that the Liberals now understand this and have decided to extend the arbitrary deadline they set in the heat of an election campaign, and am happy to support their decision.

The Official Opposition will support the government when it deserves to be supported and when it does not, I will not hesitate to stand up for the interests of my constituents and hold this government to account.

Fitness staff sorry for gym closure Editor: The staff from the ladies fitness gym on Yale Road West in Chilliwack that closed on Nov. 29 would like to have the opportunity to apologize to the members.

We were not given any notice to pass on to our members. We are all very disappointed that the members and the employees were not treated with respect. If it had not been for a concerned member who messaged one of us the evening of Sunday, Nov. 29 to find out if the gym was getting new equipment or if the equipment was being stolen we would have been there on Monday morning with you to find nothing but a note on the door.

We would also like to wish you and your families a safe and happy holiday season and look forward to seeing you in the community.

Upon arriving in the “Grand Hall” the tables were adorned with white tablecloths with red and green napkins in water glasses which presented for a very festive touch for the season.

Many thanks to teaching chef Terry McDougall, chef instuctor Sharon Touchet, baker Christine Cutajar and Chef Garde Manger Judith Booker for creating and serving us a delicious turkey dinner with all the trimmings.

The culinary arts students and the student volunteers are to be commended for a job well done. Many comments of how the volunteers were friendly and helpful throughout the evening.

Editor: The people of Chilliwack are undoubtedly in a phase of voter fatigue after the marathon federal campaign. However, I ask that we all take the time to inform ourselves on next week’s school board byelection and get out to vote. The roles that our school board trustees perform are vital, and essential to the continued innovation in our local education system and curriculum in particular.

The community speaks up during the flash point issues of our school system at times of union strikes or system failure, but Dec. 12 is the time that we, as voters, can take a proactive approach to shaping this vital system. We can elect the group of people that represent the education of our entire next generation, for good of for worse.

The social problems that we will see on the streets of our community, in our hospitals and our justice system often begin here. As well, the entrepreneurial minds, the scholars, professionals, artists and social luminaries, are shaped in profound ways by the experiences that they have while they are in our schools.

This election has seen a cross section of candidates, as varied as the fabric of our community, put their names forward. It seems a daunting task to replace one of the most senior, and longest-serving school trustees in the province with someone new, however that is the task at hand.

So, is it time to choose a fresh young voice in an 18-year-old recent Chilliwack graduate and university student? Is it time to add experience and administrative knowledge with a previous vice-superintendent of schools? Perhaps an art voice in a symphony orchestra director? Or any of the other highly skilled candidates who have entered into the thankless role of campaigning, and asking you for your confidence in them.

No matter who it is that you vote for, it is the vote in itsself that matters the most. Please inform yourself, go to the polls, and help shape the future of our community.

A light in the darkness

BY CURTIS FAST Yarrow MB Church

D

uring this time of year, Christians around the world anticipate the coming Christ during the season of Advent.

Jesus Christ came to us as a helpless baby in a manger. Jesus came as the image of the invisible God, whom we are called to reflect.

It is Jesus who comes into our lives each and every day that we allow him to. It is Jesus, the Christ, who speaks to us by his Spirit and invites us to be a part of his ministry. It’s Jesus who is coming back soon, clothed in majesty, to rule a reign for eternity.

During our last Sunday service we lit the candle of hope and shared about the hope that we have as followers of Jesus. The Gospel of John speaks of Christ as the true light coming into the world: John 1:1-5 – “In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and nothing was

created except through him. The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.”

It is significant that the church has always used the language— the coming of Christ—because it speaks to a deep truth. Christ is coming. Christ is always entering a troubled world, a wounded heart.

And so we light the first candle, the candle of hope and dare to express our longing for peace, for healing, and the well-being of all creation.

The candle that we light stands as a symbol of light, of new life and of hope.

Of light because light is a physical thing that cannot be overcome by dark. In the realm of physics, darkness is the absence of visible light. Darkness can absorb a certain amount of light but soon enough it is overcome and a light shines in the darkness. So it is with Christ.

As we open up the dark places in our lives to the healing light of Jesus, he takes on that darkness for us. He transforms and overcomes

all so that we may walk in new life in the light of Christ.

Of new life because when we walk in the light of Christ we are set free from the things that used to bind us; for example, shame. To be “shame bound” is to live with a feeling of unworthiness that eats away at the core sense of your well-being. This is not healthy and not the way God desires you to live.

When someone brings this dark place to the healing light of Christ, they allow His light to overcome that darkness and a new life, free from that pain, is what will be left.

Of hope because Jesus is our merciful High Priest; as Eugene Peterson puts it, “The word mercy means that the upward look to the heavens does not expect God to stay in the heavens, but to come down, to enter our condition, to accomplish the vast enterprise of redemption, to fashion in us his eternal salvation.”

Where do you find hope today? ◗ Curtis Fast is the Worship Director at the Yarrow MB Church. Feel free to contact him at Curtis@yarrowmb.org.

Teddy bear toss set for Sunday

W

here can you receive thunderstix, toss a teddy bear or toque on the ice, cheer on a team vying for first place and enjoy a free skate?

The answer is Prospera Centre, this Sunday at 5 p.m., when the Chiefs host the Merritt Centennials.

Fraser Valley Distance Education School will be handing out thunderstix to the first 1,000 people through the doors and fans are encouraged to bring teddy bears and or toques to toss on the ice after the Chiefs score their first goal. The stuffies and winter garments will be collected and given to those in need via Chilliwack Community Services. I should mention that our local Value Village has been gathering teddy bears and will bring them to the game.

While the Chiefs are battling for first spot in the Mainland Division with Wenatchee and Langley, Merritt is in a dogfight to try and nail down a playoff spot in the Interior Division. The Cents, with their 10 wins and 20 losses, are currently eight points from a post-season berth and the game on Sunday will be their third in three days. Merritt will be in Nanaimo on Friday and Powell River on Saturday.

This Sunday’s game will feature a skate with the Chiefs following the game, and skate rentals are available. This is also the final home game for the boys until after Christmas.

Barry Douglas Chiefs Report This Sunday’s game is the first of three The Book Man reads with the Chiefs game nights. Chiefs’ players have been very busy during the months of October, November and December reading to students in various classrooms throughout our region. Kids from Greendale elementary, Cultus Lake elementary, Sardis elementary, St. Mary’s elementary, Rosedale Tradional, Treehouse Children’s Centre, Little Mountain elementary, Little Footsteps Child Care Centre and Coquihalla elementary in Hope will be cheering on the Chiefs. I have a feeling the bouncy castle from Fraser Valley Party rentals will be a tad busy.

A reminder the first game after Christmas is the Chiefs annual Fill the Rink for the Salvation Army Food Bank. Fans are encouraged to donate a non-perishable food, if you do, you can attend the Dec. 30 game for only $6 when the Chiefs host the Langley Rivermen.

There is still a lot of time for you to pick up the annual Chiefs Christmas pack. This holiday season’s pack includes four flex tickets and $20 gift certificate to the Chiefs store $49.95 plus tax. Contact Andrea at the Chiefs office and she will hook you up.

Kale Kane scores one of his two goals in a 9-4 win against the Coquitlam Express last Friday at Prospera Centre.

Chiefs will have to dig deeper now

BY GREG LAYCHAK glaychak@chilliwacktimes.com

I

t was a split weekend for the Chilliwack Chiefs as the team won a high scoring match against the visiting Coquitlam Express on Friday (9-4) but then gave up a close game in overtime to the Nanaimo Clippers the following night (2-1).

Their results kept the Chiefs in first, but the fight for top spot in the BCHL Mainland remains a close one, with Chilliwack only two points ahead of the ever-pressing Wenatchee Wild as the Times goes to print. (Wenatchee played in Coquitlam Wednesday, and a win would tie them with Chilliwack.)

Though Friday’s game started with an early two-point lead from the Express, the Chiefs’ response was a five-goal streak that lasted into the second period.

Captain Jordan Kawaguchi scored the first two goals for Chilliwack to even the score at 2-2. His teammate defender Zach Giuttari

scored his first goal of his junior A career and Kale Kane followed, still in the first period to add a two-point lead.

At under a minute into the second frame Kawaguchi scored again, earning his first hattrick in the BCHL. After an Express goal from Owen Stout, Kane nabbed his second of the game, followed by Chiefs’ lead scorer Vimal Sukumaran’s short-hander late in the period to make it 5-3.

Darien Craighead and Jake Smith each scored in the final frame before Coquitlam’s Colton Kerfoot’s power play goal, the last of the game to make it 9-4 at the end.

Chilliwack out-shot the Express 57-18 and scored two of their three power play opportunities.

Goalie Matteo Esposito earned his last win before heading to Leduc, Alta., the next day with Sukumaran, Kawaguchi, Kohen Olischefski, and defenceman Dennis Cholowski to vie for a chance to play for Team Canada.

Come in to see our 7349704

They left the Chiefs to draw on team depth for the Nanaimo Clippers game Saturday, in a low-point game that stretched into overtime.

Giuttari opened scoring in the contest with his goal just past the halfway mark in period two.

Two minutes later Nanaimo’s Devin Brosseau answered putting the game at 1-1 where it stayed until the third frame buzzer, taking the stalemate into extra time.

Clipper Matthew Hoover slipped the puck past Chilliwack’s Aidan Pelino with only 23 seconds on the OT clock to win it for Nanaimo, ending the Chief’s latest winning streak at three.

Chilliwack plays a three-game weekend coming up with Thursday and Friday games in Prince George followed by a 5 p.m. home game against Merritt on Sunday. ◗ Any Chiefs who make the Team Canada roster will be away until after the final is played on Dec. 19, staying in Cobourg and Whitby, Ont.

You’re a fool to drink and drive

C

hilliwack Mounties are using a 23-yearo l d ma n f a c i n g impaired driving charges as an example of their crackdown on the roads.

Mounties launched D ece mbe r ’s C o u nte r Attack campaign on the Vedder Road overpass last Friday as police ramp up impaired driving intervention over the holidays.

Officers of Chilliwack RCMP Traffic Services supported by Fraser Valley Traffic Services and Chilliwack Speed Watch conducted enforcement and were joined by volunteers from Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) who passed educational pamphlets regarding the perils of impaired driving to motorists.

During the evening-long operation police checked 229 vehicles serving one Motor Vehicle Act (MVA) three-day immediate roadside prohibition as well as a 24-hour driving prohibition to drivers’ for alcohol-related offences.

In total eight further tickets, including an excessive speeding citation, were

issued to drivers during the night.

The crackdown comes just two days after RCMP say another man is under investigation for impaired driving.

On Dec. 2 at approximately 10:30 p.m. police received a report of a pickup truck weaving across Prest Road near Prairie Central Road.

Mounties quickly pulled the driver over on Highway 1 near Evans Road. Police will be submitting a report to Crown counsel later this month to recommend charges of impaired driving, driving a motor vehicle over .08 and an MVA charge of driving while prohibited. ◗ Operation Red Nose provides another safe option for getting home safely from a party. Operation Red Nose can be called on Fridays and Saturdays after 9 p.m. during the month of December at 604-393-3000. For more information regarding Operation Red Nose visit operationrednose.com.

{ SCAM ARTIST, from page A1 } knocked on a man’s door, told him he had been in a car accident and said he needed $200 for a tow truck. The man drove him to a bank at which time Quinnell said he left his bank card at home. The man lent him $200, and when they parted, the man realized Quinnell hadn’t just absconded with the cash but also stolen his camera, charger and other items from his house.

He was eventually arrested Jan. 2, 2015 after a scam in Agassiz that involved an 80-year-old woman and her husband. The woman drove Quinnell somewhere and the husband got suspicious, eventually calling 911.

Chilliwack RCMP, aware of the string of crimes, raced to Agassiz and eventually arrested Quinnell after a short foot chase.

Quinnell’s lawyer Ali Yusuf painted a picture of a man addicted to crack cocaine, desperate for money. Yusuf told the court he was “in the throes of a drug addiction” and he was shaking during some of the crimes.

“It doesn’t excuse it, but it does explain it,” he said.

In all the cases, the victims were elderly, trusting and many recounted, contrary to his lawyer’s description, that Quinnell was calm, measured and a “smooth talker.”

As Crown counsel Carolyn Kramer recounted the 22 cases, at one point Judge Wendy Young interrupted to ask Kramer about what looked like detailed planning

Not the first time Quinnell has been involved in a fraud and thefts; has spent six years in prison and another family member also in advance of the crimes. attended part of the proceedings.

After the hearing, the three remaining victims who stuck around mostly agreed that Quinnell appeared less to be apologizing to them and more feeling sorry for himself.

Defence and Crown made a joint sentencing submission of five years jail minus credit for one year of “dead time” since he was arrested Jan. 2.

This is not the first time Quinnell has been involved in fraud and thefts. In 2008, he was sentenced to six years in prison in Calgary after he was convicted of going to seniors complexes on the pretence of selling fresh fish, alcohol, cigarettes and other items. He would take cash and disappear and, as in the Chilliwack and Agassiz cases, he would steal money, wallets or credit cards.

While the sentence requested by the Crown in the current case is lower than the 2008 sentence, the latter involved more money (more than $15,000) and more victims.

At that sentencing hearing his lawyer said Quinnell had a “pathological gambling addiction.”

“He was caught before this got to the size that it got in Calgary,” Kramer told the judge last week.

Earlier in 2008, Quinnell also pleaded guilty to a similar string of scams in Vancouver and was handed a 25-month prison sentence.

Young will hand down her sentence on Dec. 17.

Towers and Trees play Acoustic Emporium

Victoria indie rockers Towers and Trees will play the Acoustic Emporium on Friday, Jan. 8 following the release of their first full-length album, The West Coast. Known for Montreal and infectious online covers, Towers and Trees is led by lead singer/sole-songwriter, Adrian Chalifour. The West Coast is both a homage to his home province B.C. and a reflection of a very turbulent time in his life—the end of his 12-year relationship and seven-year marriage. Don’t expect anything dreary though, as Adrian put it, “this album is about believing in love in the midst of losing it.” Its upbeat songs and wide sound, like the vast west coast shoreline, will have you feeling inspired from the start. more info, pictures, and audio clips visit www. shantero.com or www. johnmcdermott.com.

Crucible Dance. Finally, the run up to the big day will conclude with a visit to Chilliwack from the amazing Ballet Victoria, who will partner up with Chilliwack’s own dance school Creative Outlet for a performance of the Nutcracker Ballet.

Of course it isn’t just in the theatre that you’ll find your dose of arts and culture this December. And in my view, one of the most exciting presentations to be featured in our facility as 2015 winds down to a close is currently hanging in the O’Connor Group Art Gallery. ‘…It Speaks to Me’, an exhibition by Sto:lo artist Bon Graham-Krulicki, incorporates many moods, emotions, and forms of visual media, yet expresses it all through the perspective and theme of traditional Sto:lo culture. This moving exhibition will be on display until Jan. 2, and I would strongly encourage you to experience the work of a fantastic local artist.

And we’ve also got an extra bit of exciting news for the local theatre aficionado.

he trees are up, the lights are twinkling, and the halls are decked (with poinsettias, not boughs of holly), meaning one very special thing—the festive season is upon us.

And this time of year comes with a couple of exciting highlights for The Centre.

One being the fact that we’re incredibly already halfway through our 2015/16 presentation season (we’ll be planning for the next before we know it), and the second being—Christmas shows.

Displaying the exciting talent of Chilliwack’s own fine arts elementary school, F.G. Leary’s A Party in a Pear Tree will be a delightful insight into what our community’s young artists explore through their education. This local theme continues with Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra’s own Christmas performance—a night devoted to Handel’s iconic oratorio, Messiah. The Centre’s trio of Christmas shows will be next (and the community clearly has its priorities in order here), with Christmas with The Vancouver Welsh Men’s Choir, Winter Harp, and Sing-along with Frozen already sold out—a nice little early Christmas gift for us.

Behind the next window in your entertainment advent calendar will be A Celebration of Christmas with the Chilliwack Metropolitan Orchestra, whose diverse performance will feature the gospel flair of guest performer Crystal Hicks, as well as the talents of local dance troupe The

vidual programs. Select classes will run twice throughout the first half of 2016, allowing students to plan what best works for their schedules. If you’d love to take the Clay Creators: Wheel Throwing class for example, but just don’t have the time in January, there’s a second course beginning in March so you don’t have to miss out. It’s the best way to enable new artists to make the most of the programming, and gives you more freedom to match your creativity to your needs.

Of course it isn’t just the adults that get to have all the fun. The Centre has expanded its programming for young artists as well. Kids have more options than ever before to get an early start on an art form, with performing arts, clay, and digital film-making classes sitting alongside a bunch of fun crafts sessions in our programming. But the news for the aspiring artists doesn’t stop there, the excitement of The Centre’s After School Art Camps will continue from the fall programming into the New Year. This range of weeklong, Monday to Friday sessions encourage kids to explore their creativity in a fun and friendly environment, and provides the opportunity for making friends, getting artistic, and creating memorable projects to take home.

With The Centre’s early registration discount, you can also save while you unleash your inner artist. Sign up for a class four weeks in advance of the start date to save an amazing 10 per cent on registration fees.

This is just a glimpse of the excitement coming up at The Chilliwack Cultural Centre in the coming months, but for the full picture just visit www.chillliwackculutralcentre.ca/classes. You can also call The Centre Box Office at 604-391SHOW(7469) to register for classes today.

scape the winter cold and enter an exciting world of creativity with Chilliwack Cultural Centre’s brand new range of fantastic Arts & Crafts classes, beginning January 2016.

It might be chilly and dark outside, but The Centre will be illuminated with vibrant and exciting creativity, with artists exploring all kinds of inspiration, from turning beautiful ceramic pieces on the potters’ wheel and creating jewellery to honing their photography skills and exploring watercolour. The options are vast and the creativity is in full flow, so why not explore your inner artist at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre this winter?

With a new and updated range of classes, as well as multiple courses for select programs, The Centre’s arts and crafts classes have expanded in scope and opportunity once again. Whether you’re looking to build your skills in your favourite art form, start a new hobby, or finally take a leap into discovering what kind of creative fun is for you, The Centre has a class to fit your needs. Throughout the year artists will use the facility to learn how to craft their own jewellery sets using the ancient art of flamework, sculpt a striking human form in clay using a life model as inspiration, and even photograph the spectacular dancers of Ballet Jorgen when they come to Chilliwack for a special Valentine’s performance of Sleeping Beauty. You can perfect your illustration techniques, build beautiful and functional pottery items, and learn how to create personalized homemade soaps.

Begin your own artistic journey—all you need to do is sign up to one of The Centre’s arts and crafts classes.

Along with expanding the variety of classes for 2016, The Centre will also be introducing an extended format for indi-
