in the city, for the Argyles and their tight margins, a tax hike from about $6,000 last year to an estimated 7372312

years.

Argyle’s Garden Market is a popular spot for gardeners and hanging basket buyers, but it’s not exactly a huge money maker.

And so when the two 82-year-olds saw their notice from BC Assessment showed a land value increase of 409 per cent, they were shocked.

“It’s basically killing me,” Nigel told the Times. “It’s ridiculous.”

$20,000 this year could put them out of business down the road.

And while their commercial assessment jump was staggering, some of their neighbours surrounding the Yale Road-Highway 9 roundabout also had big jumps in value.

The land at their garden centre at 52905 Yale Road went from a valuation of $241,000 last year to $1.23 million this year.

Across Highway 9 the owners of the Tim Hortons-Esso property saw a land increase from $251,800 to $1.15 million a 358 per cent increase.

Next to them, the Wildcat Grill

he exhibit custodian convicted of stealing thousands of dollars from the Chilliwack RCMP detachment was sentenced to 12 months in jail in BC Supreme Court this week.

Jaime Tiller was also ordered to pay $2,800 in restitution back to the City of Chilliwack connected to the three files she stole from. This sum, however, is just a fraction of the close to $40,000 from 19 RCMP exhibits that went missing and for which she was first charged.

As Justice Miriam Gropper read her decision, she said a conservative estimate of the cost of the investigation was $1 million.

Tiller was convicted by a jury of theft and breach of trust on Aug. 14 last year.

At the sentencing hearing in December, Crown counsel Louisa Winn asked the court for a period of incarceration between 12 and 24 months. Tiller’s lawyer Gurpreet Gill argued a conditional discharge was suitable.

In court on Jan. 6, Gropper said incarceration was required, and the argument that a jail sentence would harm Tiller’s children was not a reason to order a conditional sentence.

Drug-fuelled rage led to attack on police officers

BY GREG LAYCHAK glaychak@chilliwacktimes.com

A

Chilliwack man who aimed a pellet gun at an RCMP officer, threw a dumbbell at another, tried to take a Mountie’s gun, kicked an officer down some stairs and also grabbed for a police Taser last summer was sentenced to 15 months in jail Wednesday.

Preston Terepocki stood in a Chilliwack courtroom while Judge Gregory Brown read the charges and gave his decision, explaining that the defendant’s 10 and a half months enhanced credit for seven months already served meant he had four and a half remaining months in jail.

“It’s one of those unfortunate cases where really one factor—drug use— has led this person down the wrong path,” Brown said, repeating a theme that was cited by the defence and in letters from family and friends.

Terepocki had pleaded guilty to uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm, taking or attempting to take the weapon of a peace officer, threatening to use a weapon and using an imitation firearm.

It was July 6 when two officers were driving Terepocki home after attend-

Preston Terepocki is lucky to be alive as local RCMP show amazing restraint during violent & bizarre arrest

ing a motor vehicle accident he was involved in.

It was there when his girlfriend Laura Pope started arguing with Terepocki, telling police he stole her car and that he should be charged.

A domestic disturbance began to escalate so one Mountie told Terepocki he needed to leave for a period of time. That’s when the 32-year-old pulled what looked like a black handgun, pointed it at the officer and told her he wanted her to leave.

She did, called for backup and, with two officers in the house, Terepocki continued to say he didn’t want to leave the house. The male Mountie on the scene tried to escort him down the stairs, according to Crown counsel Andrea Ormiston, and that’s when he threw a 36-pound dumbbell narrowly missing him.

An altercation ensued and Terepocki allegedly went for the male officer’s sidearm.

The female officer deployed her Taser, but it did almost nothing to deter Terepocki who then alleged-

Terepocki’s lawyer, Martin Finch, The officers eventually were able to arrest him, although even then he told the court that his client had no issue with the managed to kick the Crown’s recount male officer down a set of stairs breaking “Things could have of the events and that he couldn’t his hand. ended in the worst remember the inciBrown also dent at all. handed Terepocki possible way.”

In a letter of apology to the court Brown listed offences committed

by Terepocki over the years, including and the two police officers involved break-and-enters in 2002, possession in July, Terepocki blamed stress from of property obtained by a crime and financial worries and the drugs he flight from a peace officer in 2004, was taking to deal with the stress.

When he got home that night, his a robbery in 2005, breaches and an assault in 2007, thefts in both 2007 letter states, “it was like a powder keg and 2008, possession of stolen prop- ready to explode.”

“I was humiliated, I remember erty in 2010, and a domestic assault being asked to leave my own house,” incident in 2011.

“The record is not an enviable one,” he wrote. “I remember thinking the the judge said. “It’s all explained by man should be in charge, so as I

packed my stuff up. . . . I lost control.”

The letters were one factor Brown measured against aggravating factors.

Another was support from Terepocki’s stable and successful family. He was on a path to open an auto detailing shop with help from his brother when the incident occurred last summer, according to Finch.

Terepocki’s written apology continued by recognizing that he put his own life and those of the officers in danger.

“Things could have ended in the worst possible way,” he wrote. “But thanks to your patience and restraint, no one was hurt beyond repair despite the devastating rampage I went on.”

He also wrote that he’s “on the right path,” and has taken away some hard truths from that night.

Brown reminded Terepocki and the courtroom of the seriousness of brandishing firearms at police officers, saying when it happens they wonder if they’re going to go home to their families that day.

After he was sentenced, Terepocki said “thank you” to Brown and waved to Pope, who was in attendance, as he was escorted out of the courtroom.

Taking a long distance approach to 911 calls

A

E-Comm photo

Private emergency communications firm E-Comm, based in Vancouver, takes over 911 services for the FVRD.

s of next Tuesday, 911 calls in Chilliwack will no longer be dealt with locally by the RCMP but will be handled by a private emergency communication centre in Vancouver.

E-Comm already is responsible for 84 per cent of the province’s 911 call volume, and will now field calls for Chilliwack, Mission, Hope, Kent, Harrison Hot Springs and Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) Electoral Areas A through H. Currently, 911 response services are under contract with the RCMP’s Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) based in Chilliwack.

But just because the calls are now going to Vancouver before first responders are dispatched, that doesn’t mean the public will notice a difference when calling 911, according to the FVRD. “This will be a seamless operational change,” chief administrative officer Paul Gipps said. “Residents in our communities can rest assured that they will continue to

receive the high quality service they expect when seeking emergency assistance.”

Under the current system, when a call comes in to 911, the Chilliwack operators determine the nature of the emergency and then transfer the caller to the requested first responder agency, either fire, police or ambulance.

“While the RCMP has provided exceptional service to the FVRD over the years, on review of the contract, the board of directors decided to move to E-Comm,” Gipps said.

The new contract, which starts Jan. 19, will result in a budget reduction of approximately $316,000, a savings that will be proportionately shared by the partner communities.

E-Comm is the largest 911 call centre in British Columbia, and the company also provides dispatch services to 33 police and fire departments and operates the largest emergency radio system in the province.

The tool box from Connor Dash’s pickup truck sat at the bottom of the Fraser River Monday next to the wreck of an old, submerged vehicle.

Focus on road after deadly crash T

he stretch of road next to the Fraser River where two teenagers died early Sunday morning is facing scrutiny this week as a spot where many vehicles slide off the road.

As friends of Connor Dash and Gerritt Niessen gathered Monday around noon at a makeshift memorial on the shoulder of Ballam Road where the truck went over the edge, the tool box from Dash’s Dodge pickup was visible on the river bottom.

That box sat right next to the wreck of an old car, which itself was not far away from a second old submerged vehicle.

City of Chilliwack Coun. Chris Kloot said he has heard from nearby residents about how dangerous this stretch of road is. He was at the scene Monday taking note of the two submerged vehicles, the pitch of the road running towards the river and the two metres of icy shoulder.

Kloot said he met Monday morning with a resident from MacDonald Road, and he went out to the river to see the road for himself.

“I emailed city staff to ask if there were options that we could look

Popular teens killed after pickup truck slides off road into icy river

at to improve this stretch of rural road,” Kloot told the Times. “Seeing other cars on the river bottom would suggest to me this happens more often, and I would hate to see the terrible tragedy of early Sunday morning reoccur.”

A man on the scene Monday said he drove by in the early hours Sunday and saw the truck Dash and Niessen were in on its roof, half submerged in the icy Fraser River.

He said he tried to get down the bank, but couldn’t so he called for help.

Chilliwack Search and Rescue (CSAR) attempted to access the truck with its jet boat, but was unable to get close enough. Chilliwack RCMP and Chilliwack Fire Department also attended the scene.

CSAR volunteers then waded into the water to recover the two deceased individuals.

Chilliwack RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Mike Rail said police are investigating the cause of the accident.

Rail added that Victim Services is engaged with the families of the two 18-year-olds.

“The tragic deaths of these young men has had an impact on the entire community,” Rail said.

The two young men who loved four-by-fouring and motorcross were quickly remembered online and with makeshift memorials in the parking lot at the river’s edge and also in the Chilliwack secondary school (CSS) parking lot. Niessen graduated from CSS last year and Dash was attending the school.

Before classes Monday, a few dozen students and some teachers gathered at a memorial set up where Dash used to park his pickup. The spot was lined with stones, filled with flowers and friends placed a liquor bottle, beer cans, chewing tobacco and other mementos at the spot.

Some students later got in vehicles and were doing burnouts in the parking lot in honour of the dead teens.

Social media lit up Sunday and even more Monday with sympathy for the friends and families of the men who died. { See TEENS, page A16 }

Shotgun victim says police know exactly who did it

S

now was falling gently just before sunrise Christmas Eve morning on Quarry Road in Chilliwack.

Michael Hill sipped a coffee in his home, which is nestled up against Little Mountain, up early to go get some medical tests done before work.

Other than a minor disturbance at 3 a.m. when someone drove by with a loud car, revving the engine, it was a serene morning.

“It was peaceful and quiet,” Hill said of the still, holiday moment across the street from Little Mountain elementary.

But just before 7 a.m. he heard a loud “yip,” as he recalled it, a yell of some kind from out on the street.

Then: “A boom, a delay, then boom again.”

With high-end homes situated up against the rock face on the western edge of the hillside, the echo exagger-

ated the sound greatly. And that sound was someone firing a shotgun, twice apparently, at the house three doors down.

The incident was the first of three such shootings at different addresses over two weeks, presumably by the same person. Police said little, but that they believe the incidents are linked and were targeted events.

One of the residents of the house that was shot at on Quarry Road, a single mother, who the Times will call S.C., and was living with a relative, said she knows who did it and why.

“Yes it was [him],” she said via Facebook messenger. “Me and [him] have a history.”

(The Times is also not revealing the name of the man she accuses of the shooting since he has not been charged.)

S.C. told the Times about the shooting four days after it happened. But Chilliwack RCMP issued a press release on Jan. 6 asking the public for

help to identify suspects involved in the Quarry Road shooting on Dec. 24, and also a similar shooting Dec. 26 on Hazel Street and one on Jan. 2 on Rowat Avenue.

“Fortunately no one was injured in any of the incidents,” Chilliwack RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Mike Rail said.

“RCMP are turning to the public for information regarding the shootings.”

S.C. finds this ridiculous, saying Mounties know exactly who is behind the shootings. All three targets of the incidents, she says, are women with children who were in the homes at the time of the shootings, and who have a connection to the man.

“All single moms who don’t tolerate B.S. around kids and we let idiots know it,” she said, adding, “The cops know who did it. There was a witness and they do nothing about it.”

When asked if the man in question, who is well-known to police and is in custody on other matters, was a suspect in the three shootings, Rail said

no one was in custody on this matter, which is still under investigation.

As for Hill and his experience on Christmas Eve, after he heard the shots, he called 911 and the driver revved his engine and spun out repeatedly for long enough that Hill held the phone up to let the dispatcher listen.

“This guy was making his presence known,” Hill said. “It was like he was saying ‘I’m here’ or ‘Look out’ or whatever his message was.”

Hill said the car was a dark-coloured Mazda hatchback with some sort of performance muffler making it louder than normal.

“It’s such a shock when everything is so peaceful,” Hill said of the Christmas Eve shooting. ◗ Police ask anyone who may have any information regarding any of these events to contact the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or, to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 (TIPS).

Pipeline fails to get B.C.’s support

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

T

he provincial government’s lack of support for Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain Expansion project (TMEP), which would see a tripling of capacity, illustrates at least some level of concern about the heavy oil pipeline at all levels of government and not just from environmental groups.

In its final written submission to the National Energy Board (NEB) panel, B.C. insisted five requirements be met to receive provincial support, and up to now, the company has not done so.

“During the course of the NEB review the company has not provided enough information around its proposed spill prevention and response for the Province to determine if it would use a world leading spills regime,” a government statement issued this week said. “Because of this the Province is unable to support the project at this time, based on the

evidence submitted.”

The company responded by saying that meeting the five conditions requires multiple parties to come together, not just Kinder Morgan.

The existing 63-year-old Trans Mountain pipeline and the proposed expansion, which is to run mostly in the existing right-of-way, runs for 25.5 kilometres across the City of Chilliwack, including above the city’s aquifer and across the Vedder River into Yarrow.

During the NEB hearing process, the City of Abbotsford and the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) applied for and received intervenor status, while the City of Chilliwack had commenter status.

In its letter of comment issued last August, the city was critical of the company’s unclear statements on the record about “working with” municipalities and “seeking to understand” city bylaws with respect to the project. “[T]hese vague commitments by Trans Mountain do not ensure that

impacts upon the City will actually be monitored, managed and mitigated effectively once construction and operation of the TMEP are underway.”

Specifically, the city identified five areas of concern in response to Trans Mountain’s evidence: protection of the Sardis-Vedder Aquifer; protection of the city’s natural areas; socio-economic impacts of construction and mitigation; Trans Mountain’s communication plan with the public during the TMEP; and timing of construction at the Vedder River.

In a letter to municipal politicians last week (see letters page 9), Ian Stephen of the WaterWealth Project argued that the FVRD as intervenor should have, and still should, demand the route of the TMEP be made further north so as to avoid any threat to the aquifer.

While there already may be a rightof-way, the project still requires a new trench to be dug so, Stephen argues, the pipeline should follow a safer route, Highway 1, for example.

{ TILLER, from page A1 } Gropper said Tiller’s crimes were serious breaches of trust, they had “forethought and planning” and put criminal investigations at risk.

Charges were dropped in two of three cases the exhibits for which Tiller was convicted for stealing from.

In another file, money was stolen that had been discovered by police in the bedstand of a person who ended up dead, and who is the subject of a cold-case homicide.

The case against Tiller, who was a municipal employee in her role as exhibit custodian at the detachment, included no direct evidence but was entirely circumstantial.

That evidence included the fact that in one instance in 2011, Tiller deposited 42 $20 bills, 12 $10 bills and eight $5 bills into a bank account, for a total of $1,000.

Those denominations matched precisely money missing from an exhibit file.

Two other stolen exhibits—one of $1,000 and one of $800—also were made up of denominations matching precisely amounts deposited into Tiller’s own and her landlord’s bank

Evidence entirely circumstantial accounts.

When it came to case law, Gropper said the case most similar was that of April Smith who was convicted earlier this year of stealing more than $116,000 from police exhibits in Mission.

Smith, who had a gambling addiction, was sentenced to 18 months in prison.

Before, during and after the conviction and sentencing, Tiller maintained her innocence and has not apologized for her actions.

“She’s not engaged in minimization, she has engaged in full denial,” Winn told the court at her sentencing hearing.

Tiller cried as Gropper read her decision, particularly the psychiatric assessment that found she was sane, but suffered from depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder and borderline personality disorder.

Tiller wept again as she was sentenced Wednesday and led away in handcuffs.

Social media a positive force

◗ Publisher

Social media often gets a bad rap. Often deservedly so.

Critics don’t have to look far for evidence of its—and our—failings. Sites offer a grand showcase of narcissism and misinformation, not to mention a host of other negative attributes, including greed, envy or paranoia, as local politicians are finding out first hand.

But it may be that we are too willing to blame the mirror for what it is reflecting—just as many are ready to shoot the messenger whenever more traditional media report something we don’t like or don’t agree with.

Social media is an easy mark and an easy scapegoat— but it’s only as good or bad as the people who post things on it.

And many of those individuals are good, basically decent people. Their greatest crime is using social media to share the occasional laugh, a thought-provoking article or two, a chunk of positive philosophy, a cute critter or some other thing of beauty—whether shaped by nature, or the hand and eye of an artist.

Sometimes it’s even a vehicle for empathy and public spirit—evidence that people haven’t lost their basic, human connection, for all our obsession with technology.

It’s worth remembering that some good can come of our current fascination with social media—particularly the next time we’re tempted to decry it for emphasizing our lack of connection and empathy.

Viral videos don’t tell whole story T

he two videos couldn’t be more different.

One shows clips of people in a tent atop a mountain at sunrise, a group whitewater rafting on the Chilliwack River, mountain bikers flying through the woods, fly fishing on the Vedder River.

The other shows vehicles doing burnouts at a Chilliwack intersection, a woman yelling on the sidewalk, a homeowner shooting bear spray at someone, four young men beating and robbing a fifth, and a phalanx of police vehicles flying past the camera. Oh ya, and racoons.

Wild living of two very different kinds.

The first is Tourism Chilliwack’s wonderful three-minute “See What Nature is Hiding – #ShareChilliwack” outdoor adventure video to be used as a marketing tool in Washington and Vancouver.

Within 24 hours of being posted on Nov. 24, the video received 15,000 views and 40,000 impressions on Facebook.

Now it’s at 103,000 views on YouTube.

The other video is a 12-minute compilation from eight security video cameras outside Rob Iezzi’s Reece Avenue home just steps away from Chilliwack secondary. He and some of his neighbours spent the first third of 2015 (and months

PAUL J. HENDERSON @peejayaitch before) frustrated with a well-known crackhouse around the corner.

I reported on the frustration of these neighbours on May 7. After we had gone to press the day prior, police cracked down, arrested 10 people and kicked out many more. The police crackdown May 6 is on Iezzi’s video. CBC, Huffington Post, The Province and others picked up on the montage, which has received more than one million views on YouTube since it was posted on Dec. 27.

Both videos went viral, sure, but based on those numbers, Tourism Chilliwack’s is the common cold. Iezzi’s is ebola.

As any filmmaker knows, it’s all in the editing. Beyond the obvious allure of the outdoor adventure shots that make up Tourism Chilliwack’s video, little of it is actually in the city limits. It’s the Chilliwack environs. Having said that, one could easily come up with idyllic clips from life within the actual city, just

as one could string together clips of car crashes, attempted car thefts and mischief at other intersections in Langley, Abbotsford, Burnaby or Vancouver.

(Imagine a montage of security footage at Main and Hastings.)

But do these videos change the way other people see our city? Does it change the way we see ourselves? Does the tourism video help people look past stereotypes?

More importantly, does the Iezzi video turn the rest of the world against us, hindering tourism or relocation? Somehow I doubt it based on the moronic comments underneath the YouTube video.

Cameron Hull, a downtown business owner and Mayor Sharon Gaetz’s election opponent in 2014, posted on a local Facebook page: “Is it just the cynic in me.

Or is it when there is bad press about our city. There is a whole lot of ‘look at how beautiful the mountains are, nothing to see here.’”

Hull said his point was that the so-called “good” videos of the area online are more often than not about the natural beauty: “Not about the great people or what they are doing to brighten our city. And when the ‘bad’ ones do

pop up. The response is not ‘we know there is an issue and this is what we doing to fix it’ it’s ‘quick look at the pretty mountain.’”

So what’s the solution?

Coun. Jason Lum responded to Hull and pointed out the he chose not to throw gasoline on the fire by commenting on the Iezzi video as it went viral.

“If people think Rob’s video is an accurate representation of the whole city— they are entitled to their opinion just as I am entitled to disagree. . . . I think Rob’s video has created an excellent opportunity to talk about crime, public safety, addiction, homelessness, mental health, etc. I’m just not sure Facebook is the venue, but I’m open to suggestions.”

These videos, any videos, are glimpses at points in space and moments in time.

“Chilliwack invites you to push past the noise and see what nature is hiding in #TheFraserValley.” (That’s from the Tourism Chilliwack video, not Iezzi’s.)

Saying either video actually represents the City of Chilliwack is like saying Mad Men is an accurate glimpse of the advertising industry.

We’re so vain, we think these viral videos are about us.

City should be fighting pipeline route change ➤ LETTERS

Online: www.chilliwacktimes.com Email: editorial@chilliwacktimes.com Mail: 45951 Trethewey Ave., Chilliwack, B.C. V2P 1K4 Letters must include first and last name, and a daytime phone number. pipeline that lies over Chilliwack’s water supply. It is hard to imagine that the existing pipeline is any healthier in the Chilliwack section than it was in the sections where so many inspections and repairs were undertaken over the past couple of years. I can only surmise that Kinder Morgan are waiting for approval on their pipeline expansion to do those repairs on the old line across Chilliwack as installation of the new line progresses.

Leaving aside whether new tar sands pipelines should be built at all in this day and age, if the Trans Mountain Expansion Project proceeds they have to dig a new trench for the new pipe. Risk to Chilliwack’s water supply could be eliminated by having Trans Mountain dig that new trench further north, off of the aquifer, away from City of Chilliwack and Yarrow Waterworks wells, and for a relatively small additional cost decommission the 60+ year old pipeline that lies across the aquifer now and run it along the new route also, rejoining the original route at points east and west of Chilliwack’s water supply. Identification of the new route is of course Trans Mountain’s responsibility, but considering that the pipeline crosses and in places runs under Highway 1 both east and west of Chilliwack, a new route following Highway 1 seems like an option.

There is still time to direct FVRD staff to include in the FVRD Argument-in-Chief that the NEB make one of the conditions for Trans Mountain Expansion Project approval be that this route change be made for both new and old pipelines to protect Chilliwack and Yarrow drinking water, as well as the economic, ecological, and recreational value of the Vedder River. We will never have a better opportunity to remove this threat from the water supplies and river.

It’s TWU that is discriminatory Editor: Re: Chilliwack-Hope MLA says benchers’ stance on TWU law school an attack on Christians,” Dec. 31, 2015.

I’m confused as to how Mr. Throness can describe the decision by the Law Society of BC to rescind their approval of TWUs law school as “a slippery slope en route to discrimination against Christians.” It is the community covenant of TWU that is discriminatory against everyone who does not believe in the biblical ideals upon which it is based.

The covenant states that all students and staff must “treat people and ideas with charity and respect” and “to live according to biblical precepts” which are “divinely inspired” and “authoritative guide for personal and community life.” The covenant requires “all members to embody attitudes and to practise actions identified in the Bible as virtues, and to avoid those portrayed as destructive” and to “voluntarily abstain from the following actions: communication that is destructive to TWU community life and inter-personal relationships, including gossip, slander, vulgar/obscene language, and prejudice; harassment or any form of verbal or physical intimidation, including hazing; lying, cheating, or other forms of dishonesty including plagiarism; stealing, misusing or destroying property belonging to others; sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman; the use of materials that are degrading, dehumanizing, exploitive, hateful, or gratuitously violent, including, but not limited to pornography.” To further define sexual intimacy, the covenant states that “according to the Bible, sexual intimacy is reserved for marriage between one man and one woman, and within that marriage bond it is God’s intention that it be enjoyed as a means for marital intimacy and procreation.”

I have no problem with Christians withdrawing themselves from “behaviours they believe to be contrary to God’s intention for humankind” if they wish to and I have no problem with a university having a code of conduct for its students. However a university that decides to open a law school where that code of conduct is directly in contravention of the laws of Canada—the very laws student lawyers are being taught to uphold.

The Canadian Human Rights Act (1985), “For all purposes of this Act, the prohibited grounds of discrimination are race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, family status.”

If Mr. Throness is concerned about Christian students “one day [being] banned from attending secular universities unless they renounce aspects of their faith,”

he obviously needs to familiarise himself with the above section of the Canadian Human Rights.

If TWU is concerned about its covenant being labelled as hate speech they should not fear because religion is protected from such an offense as noted in the Criminal Code of Canada.

The problem is not with the covenant. If that is what the staff and students of TWU wish to believe and live by then that is their prerogative. The problem lies with the fact that TWU is seeking to provide a law school “designed to train lawyers who can think critically, practice efficiently and serve their clients and communities with professionalism and ethical integrity.” How can they be taught to serve with professionalism and ethical integrity when they are taught that the Bible is “the divinely inspired, authoritative guide for personal and community life.”

The Christian Bible clearly states that: “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.” Numbers 18 v 22; “If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.” Leviticus 20 v 13; “their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.” Romans 1 v 26-27.

One of TWU Core Values is that they “believe the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and the Divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.”

How can a lawyer practice ethically when their guidance for “all Christian faith and life” is that of a god who condemns men and women to death because of their choice to love someone of the same sex?

There is no discrimination towards Christians in the Law Society’s decision to rescind their decision. There is no active discrimination against Christians.

The LSBC is simply upholding the rights of all individuals to receive professional and ethical services from lawyers regulated by the society. There is no discrimination in that. There is, however, discrimination to be found in the Christian bible and the community covenant of TWU. Allister Murphy Chilliwack

Editor: Honourable mayor and councillors: The City of Chilliwack chose to be a commenter rather than an intervenor in the National Energy Board hearing on the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion Project. My understanding was that the choice was based on the understanding that the Fraser Valley Regional District as an intervenor could represent Chilliwack’s interests in the process, and duplication of costs and work would be avoided.

The City’s letter of comment identifies five areas of priority concern. First among them was “Protection of the Sardis-Vedder Aquifer (also known as the Vedder River Fan Aquifer) during construction and operation of the TMEP.” The City also states in its letter that “Yarrow Waterworks District’s wells are situated immediately adjacent to the Vedder River, and are therefore influenced by the water quality in the Vedder River downstream of the Trans Mountain crossing of the Vedder River”.

As you may be aware, that river crossing is also near the Vedder Mountain Fault, adding seismic risk to this critical section of the pipeline route. Further, the City states that “the pipeline route crosses land where the Sardis-Vedder Aquifer’s vulnerability is classified as high and extreme.”

Despite all of that, the City speaks only of mitigating risk through such things as monitoring groundwater and use of heavier pipe across the aquifer, missing the simplest and surest way of protecting Chilliwack and Yarrow drinking water supplies: change the route to remove the pipeline from over the aquifer.

We know from documents acquired through an Access to Information request by Mr. David Ellis, and from direct observation, that hundreds of “features” that met Kinder Morgan’s dig criteria were identified on the old pipeline in the Darfield to Hargreaves section and down the Coquihalla Canyon to as far west as almost Bridal Falls. Excavations for inspection and repair on the pipeline have been ongoing since at least June 2013 when the two spills were found near the Coquihalla Summit.

Similar in-line testing was to have been completed on the section that crosses Chilliwack by the end of 2014. I regret that I have not undertaken an Access to Information request to try to acquire those test results. To date, to the best of my knowledge, there have been no excavations between approximately 5 km east of Bridal Falls and Sumas Mountain—an area including the section of the

› Faith Today

A moment in time that impacts you forever

BY CRAIG BYERS Keystone Church

I

’m not always sure that an eternal God carves up time the way we do, nevertheless, at the start of a new year it often leads me and I’m sure most of us to some type of personal reflection. We call to memory the past year, take stock of where we are today, and contemplate the future in particular where we want to be at the end of the year upon us.

Will this be the best year of my life?

Will we breakthrough the hinderances and barriers that have seemingly locked us out of reaching our dreams or fulfilling our potential?

When we think about it, our lives are a cumulative collection of moments of time that when connected weave together the fabric of our lives. Every moment and its experiences have the potential to shape how we see ourselves and the world around us.

While some events don’t have much value beyond the moment (eating a great steak is memorable but doesn’t have much eternal value) there are others that have a great impact on who we’ve become and the person we’ll be in the future.

“Making the very most of the time [buying up each opportunity], because the days are evil.”

(Ephesians 5:16 AMP) One thing that we can do that will help us experience the life that God wants for us is to make the most of every moment or opportunity that comes our way. Sometimes we can sense that a particular season in our life has great significance while there are life altering events that seemingly sneak up on us. It’s these moments we don’t want to dismiss.

I witnessed one of those moments several years ago in a movie theatre of all places.

One Christmas when I was a young boy my grandparents introduced me to the writing of J.R.R. Tolkien. Growing up reading and re-reading the Lord of the Rings trilogy I was one of those fans who eagerly anticipated the yearly release of the three movies as they came out. Anyway, here I am standing in line along with all the other diehard fans to get my ticket on opening night at the now sadly gone Paramount Theatre. People are dressed in character, and overall there’s an excited buzz as we are about to see the final and concluding episode of the trilogy. As

we move into the theatre the level of noise and energy continues to grow with most not even taking their seats but milling around with others.

Strangers talking with strangers in a new found camaraderie.

As the lights dimmed there was a huge cheer from the crowd and on cue everyone began to take their seats as they carried on their conversations during the obligatory movie previews and ads for popcorn.

of love and sacrifice or is Jesus truly the Lord of creation beckoning our response? We had all come to see our heroes triumph over evil on screen but were we just presented with truth about the greatest of heroes who triumphed once and for all over evil, sin, and death?

I know that in the silence of that theatre God Himself was inviting all of us present to make a decision. A decision to believe in His love for them and accept the forgiveness of our sins and personal restoration that comes through having a relationship with His Son Jesus Christ.

A moment. Five seconds. Impacted my life forever and I’m sure it did others too.

Next time you have one of those moments don’t dismiss it. See it for what it is and take the necessary steps to see it through. Silence soon turned back to expectant buzz as the movie began. Just as quickly as it came it was gone. For some it was a moment in time lost and forgotten over the next three hours but for others they’ve never been the same.

SERVICE TIMES

Let us go .. d o w n to TE T H E P OT

Picture a crowd of mostly young adult men, some in costume who have waited a year to finally watch the conclusion. Nobody’s paying any attention to the upcoming movies; they’re loud, boisterous and not a few shouts to get on with the show.

Then something happened I’ll never forget.

A movie trailer started previewing a new movie coming out about the crucifixion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. As the images depicting the story of Christ and His crucifixion played on screen everyone stopped moving. The noise died down to silence as everyone in the packed audience became glued to what they were witnessing. I mean nobody moved and nobody talked.

When the trailer ended there was complete silence. You would have heard the proverbial pin drop. It seemed the silence lasted an eternity but was no more than a few seconds as everyone processed what they had just seen.

An unexpected moment had snuck up on all of us.

Life altering decisions were being made in those few seconds that followed. Was it just a compelling story

Division leading Chiefs keep racking up wins Club putting more space between them and second-place Wenatchee with every game

Mainland Division TEAM Chilliwack Wenatchee Langley Coquitlam Prince George Surrey

BY GREG LAYCHAK glaychak@chilliwacktimes.com

P

ulling away from the rest of the Mainland division, the Chilliwack Chiefs added six points to their lead starting a three-game winning streak Wednesday that saw them hosting Langley (7-2), Trail (2-1) and Prince George (7-3).

Langley’s visit offered little challenge to the Chiefs at Prospera after the first period when Kohen Olischefski, Jeremy Germain and Vimal Sukumaran opened scoring, but were followed by two Rivermen goals to make it 3-2 after 20 minutes.

Kale Kane and Mitch Skapski added an insurance goal each in the second frame as the Chiefs went unanswered in period two.

And adding to their three-point lead, Darien Craighead and Jake Smith finalized a Chilliwack win with their goals to post a 7-2 score over their Langley guests.

After Wednesday’s game, a video of Sukumaran’s through-the-legs goal gained online attention as the subject of much social media chatter.

Following a two-day break, the Chiefs were back to host Trail in what ended up being a close win in double-overtime.

Two second period goals had left the game tied 1-1 as the 60 minute buzzer went, taking Chilliwack and the Smoke Eaters into OT. And it wasn’t until just over two minutes left in the second extra frame that Jordan Kawaguchi saved

the Chiefs from a tie with his goal assisted by Jesse Lansdell and Dennis Cholowski.

Chiefs goaltender Aidan Pelino made 12 saves in that final OT period, allowing his offence enough time to score the game-winner in three shots.

And similar to last Wednesday’s win over Langley, the Chiefs took an early lead against the Prince George Spruce Kings Sunday at Prospera, wavered mid-way through the game but then finished big.

After a first period powerplay goal 15 seconds before the first intermission, Aaron O’Neill started the scoring with his fourth goal since joining the Chiefs just over a month ago.

Early in the second frame, Smith followed to make it 2-0 against the Spruce Kings.

Despite a three-goal Prince George rally in the middle period to make it 3-2 for the visitors, newcomer Taylor Allan and Craighead scored the next two to put Chilliwack back in the lead by one point with only 20 minutes to go.

That set the stage for an all-Chiefs final period with goals from Sukumaran, Mark Esposito and Zach Giuttari to end the team’s third consecutive win 7-3.

Pelino made 69 saves for three wins over the week and the Oakville, Ont. goalie now sits at third in the league by goals against average (GAA) with 2.29 in his 30 games of the 2015-16 season.

Tuesday’s Rick Mercer Report (Series 13, Episode 10) on CBC showed some local kayaking talent, as Mercer joined the Chilliwack Centre of Excellence (CCE) for filming back on Thanksgiving. Coach Jon Allen, Pan Am K1 Gold winner Jazmyne Denhollander, and many other CCE athletes participated in the episode that had Mercer at Cultus Lake and the Tamihi Rapids. The visit was a result of the club pitching the Report’s producer early in 2015 with a show concept.

› News Focus fell on Minter

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

Greg Laychak/TIMES

Argyle’s Garden Market saw the land portion of its property assessment skyrocket 409 per cent.

As for other commercial properties in the area across Highway 1, properties along Bridal Falls Road saw only minor increases.

The Rainbow Ranch RV Park, for example, saw a zero per cent land value increase. The Rancher’s Restaurant property went up four per cent, and the Bridal Falls Motel went up 4.8 per cent.

But if increases are supposed to rely upon recent sales in the area, some say they don’t make sense.

Popkum resident, local realtor and one-time political candidate Michael Henshall said he couldn’t figure out the massive jumps in the roundabout property assessments either.

“There are no commercial properties in the area selling on a regular basis to justify these huge increases,” Henshall said.

For its part, BC Assessment said the value of these properties “needed to increase to be more reflective of a probable selling price.”

Brian Smith, deputy assessor for the Fraser Valley Region, said development of the properties near the Argyles spurred

the big jumps.

“In a review and in discussion with some people in this particular area, we felt that last year’s assessment did not reflect the market value of the property so a reassessment of the year did occur,” Smith said via email.

As for the Argyles, they would like to retire and have three times in the last four years listed their property for sale for more than $1 million with not one single offer.

As for the business, Nigel and Joan say they don’t take a salary and after all the bills and employees are paid after a four-month season, they take in just $40,000.

So a property tax jump of $14,000 is substantial.

Nigel says the tax bill will be too much, considering there are few services at their address, including no sewage.

As for this season, plants have been ordered and Argyle’s Garden Market will open as planned, but the future is certainly in doubt now, although they have taken steps to appeal the assessment.

“We don’t want to close up,” Nigel said.

The Chilliwack RCMP is looking for the following people. If you see any of them, do not attempt to detain or apprehend them. Please contact the RCMP immediately at 604-792-4611.

To remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or visit www.upperfraservalleycrimestoppers.ca. Remember: all of the listed people are innocent until proven guilty in court.

AS OF JAN 12, 2016

young man with no prior criminal record is off to jail for two more years after a string of drug-fuelled robberies last year in Popkum and Chilliwack.

Soon after being arrested in April 2015, Herbert Hanuse pleaded guilty to seven charges in connection with four robberies, all but one of which took place over a two-week period last spring.

Judge Richard Miller sentenced the 25-year-old in provincial court in Chilliwack Jan. 12 to three years and one month in custody followed by three years probation for the crimes.

He will get credit of 13.5 months for the nine months he has served already.

Crown counsel Paul Blessin asked for four to five years in custody, and Hanuse’s lawyer Gurpreet Gill asked for two years less a day.

Defence’s argument, however, was impossible for Miller to implement even if he wanted to given mandatory minimum sentencing provisions requiring one year each for firearms offences to run consecutive to all other sentences.

Hanuse’s spree last year began on March 25 when he entered the Subway restaurant on Bunker Road in Popkum with a knife,

Mandatory minimum rules meant Herbert Hanuse guaranteed 2 yrs.

Heroin was no excuse for judge

{ BUSINESS, from page A1 } land jumped from $219,800 to $805,900 or a 266 per cent increase.

But the owners of the property where the new Petro-Canada and Subway is located got one of the biggest shocks as the land went from $609,800 to $6.2 million, a 917 per cent increase.

And the largest jump of all—and possibly part of the reason behind the focus on this small area—was 52892 Bunker Rd., the location of Minter Gardens, which closed on Oct. 15, 2013.

Since last year, the Minter Gardens land jumped from a value of $364,100 to $3.8 million, a 947 per cent increase.

Total assessment was at $5 million, which actually might make sense since the property (along with adjacent 9980 Llanberis Way) is listed by Colliers Canada as a “beautifully landscaped income producing property” with residential development potential. List price: $5.95 million.

As soon as you start moving away from the roundabout, however, assessments saw just minor increases. Just north of the Petro-Canada is 52964 Yale Rd., which has no buildings, and similarly jumped in value by 308 per cent. Move one more address to the east and the land value increase was just four per cent.

The same can be said for residential increases to the west of the Wildcat Grill on Yale Road.

Hunger never disappears for some kids

Great time to upgrade education

What happens when students go home and there’s nothing to eat all weekend?

A typical Starfish Backpack. unteers will fill the backpacks at the school with non-perishable food that requires little or no preparation. There will be enough food in the backpack to feed a child, and their families, for the weekend. The packs will then be distributed to the three schools and each child participating in the program will take their backpacks home for the weekend and return to school on Monday with the empty backpacks ready to be refilled.

The cost of filling each backpack is $525 per school year with 100 per cent of the donations received going directly to the purchase of the food for the backpack. Save-on-Foods is the proud food provider and various clubs and individuals in the community have donated the funds to fill these backpacks. ◗ CCS is accepting donations online at www. comserv.bc.ca/starfish-backpack-program or in person at 45938 Wellington Ave.

Grant money available to help students pay for UUP courses

the provincial Adult Upgrading Grant and the UFV Upgrading Grant. The grants, which are tiered, provide different levels of financial assistance for people of various incomes and needs.

Some students could be given a grant that covers the cost of tuition, while those earning less could be given one that covers the cost of tuition, books, and supplies. Depending on their income, some applicants may still be required to cover smaller dues, such as student union fees. “We encourage all people to apply because most students are awarded a grant that covers the cost of tuition, at the very least,” Brigden explains.

UUP runs courses during the Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters. Applications are accepted throughout the year

so—provided seats are available—students can apply for entry and start courses during the first couple of weeks of a semester. For those who cannot begin in January, some may be able to enrol in courses starting in March or May. Chilliwack’s Shadi Chaychi is using her grant money to continue working towards becoming an engineer—a goal she couldn’t realize without UFV’s UUP. “It’s been a great experience.

All the teachers were great, and the most important thing is classes are not too big, so teachers can help all the students,” she says. ◗ For more information on UFV’s UUP, and requesting grant assistance, visit www.ufv. ca/uup.

“Still in shock that I lost two good friends from school R.I.P.”, said a friend.

“Man I remember the days when we would just drive

“You were the funniest but also the nicest kid I’ve met. You will be missed man. And you were and will always be loved.” ◗ Police ask anyone who may have witnessed the incident to call the Chilliwack RCMP.

pproximately 600 children in Chilliwack go to school hungry on Monday mornings. Currently most students in need are provided with breakfast, recess snacks and lunch each day at school.

Unfortunately, the lack of access to food does not end when the weekend arrives. The Starfish Backpack Program was created in response to that need. The program is simple: Backpacks are sent home each Friday, full of food for children and their families for the weekend during the school year. For more information go to www.comserv.bc.ca/starfish-backpack-program.

Chilliwack Community Services (CCS), in collaboration with community volunteers and School District #33, instituted the program in late September 2015 in two Chilliwack elementary Schools. Due to community response for donations, the program has expanded to three schools, with 70 children now receiving food backpacks over the weekend through the school year. The goal is that eventually all 600 children will receive a backpack and that “No child in Chilliwack goes hungry over the weekend.”

The start of a new year often inspires self-improvement, but can also involve a cash crunch that comes right after the holiday spending spree.

Thanks to grant money now available for students entering the University of the Fraser Valley’s Upgrading and University Preparation (UUP) programs, financial help can be provided for those looking to improve their life by upgrading their education in 2016.

“I want people who wish to upgrade their education to know that help is available for those who need it,” says Dr. Sue Brigden, Dean of the Faculty of Access and Continuing Education.

“I want them to know that grant money is available to help them pay for their education.

They should also know that because a grant is not a loan they will not have to pay any funds they receive back in the future.”

by Montreal’s Porte Parole Theatre, Seeds presents the story of Percy Schmeiser, the independent Saskatchewan farmer that was accused of patent infringement by Monsanto, through the innovative and enthralling medium of docu-drama theatre.

Based on legal transcripts and interviews from one of the most prominent and provocative legal battles in Canadian history, the production’s pioneering approach brings the events upon which Seeds is based to life in the most dynamic, powerful, and realistic way possible. Intellectually stirring; emotionally charged and central to the contemporary debate around food and farming practices, Seeds is a piece of theatre that demands attention not just for its captivating suspense and entertainment value, but for its thought-provoking social significance.

This unique approach gives Seeds the perfect balance of live entertainment and intellectual engagement. It’s a play that stimulates the mind as much as captures the heart, and one that Peterson, who plays the tenacious and impassioned

Schmeiser with commanding conviction, is especially thrilled to be involved with.

“I’m a huge fan of the documentary theatre approach that takes verbatim work and transcribes that into a dialogue that can be used in a theatrical way,” he said.

“And to put something to stage that has a civic interest, in which we’re talking about issues and events in the society we’re in at present, including the legal, social, nutritional and political ramifications, I’m very happy to be part of something like that. The docudrama approach of Seeds is interesting because it’s both an unusual form of theatre, but also an unusual use of theatre – and with the many successful tours we’ve seen the satisfaction the audience gets from that.”

Peterson said the mandate of Porte Parole is to be “the artistic citizen” and the balance in which Seeds tackles complex issues shows the company and creators’ dedication to this ideal.

“It’s a very important production to us both as artists and to the rest of society,” says Peterson.

A production that opens up the conversation around food production, that reveals the humanity and personal toll behind taking on one of the world’s biggest corporations, and that poses some of the most crucial questions of our time, Seeds is essential viewing for those both concerned and invested in the modern understanding of food. From GMO concerns to the debate of how to sustain the global population, and from the tiniest blade of grass to the industrialized nature of modern agriculture, every facet of our existence feeds into this complex topic —and Seeds takes it all on with inspiring vitality and remarkable acting. ◗ Tickets are $35 for adults, $32 for seniors and $30 for students and are available at The Centre Box Office, visit www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca or call 604-391SHOW(7469) for more information.

and emotional starring Corner Gas’s Eric Peterson comes to town.

O

ne of Canada’s best-loved and award-winning actors will be coming to Chilliwack for the very first time this month when Eric Peterson – famous for the role of Oscar Leroy, Brent Butt’s Dad in Corner Gas - performs at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on January 26, 2016. Taking centre-stage in the suspenseful and thought-provoking court-room drama of Seeds, Peterson will bring an illustrious forty year career to this riveting piece of theatre that utilizes a pioneering docu-drama approach to tell the story of one of the most controversial battles in Canadian legal history. Get a front seat in on the action and see one of Canada’s highest acclaimed and best-loved actors - buy a ticket today!

A dramatic retelling of the

Corner Gas’s Eric Peterson stars in SEEDS

controversial legal battle between Percy Schmeiser, a Saskatchewan farmer, and Monsanto, the multinational biotech giant, Seeds is poignant, provocative, and relentless in its pursuit of exposing the nature of our modern food industry. Constructed from interviews and transcripts taken from the trial, including with the lawyers, scientists, and journalists that were at the heart of the Monsanto vs. Schmeiser case, the play brings a heated debate and Schmeiser’s real-life David vs. Goliath struggle to life with power, passion, and conviction. “It’s a bit of a court room drama” Peterson says, “and the subject matter of the play is so fascinating – it leads the audience to contemplate the notion of what being alive and living is.

The play’s debate around genetics is part of that for example - it leaves you more with the idea of the wonders of the world, and a picture of reality that is very pleasing in its totality.”

This innovative docu-drama approach also provides another exciting element to Seeds – experiencing the play is as near as you can get to being right there during Schmeiser’s impassioned stands in the courts, or to witnessing the personal toll that these events took on peoples’ lives. And with his incredible acting abilities, (and background as a fellow Saskatchewan), Peterson symbolizes an iconic fit for the role, adding his powerful presence to a performance filled with vitality and adrenaline. “You know, being from Saskatchewan, if a play has any part that’s got to be played by a person from Saskatchewan then I should have a good shot at that!” he jokes. “And I’m

a huge fan of the documentary theatre approach, both because it’s an unusual form of theatre but also an unusual use of theatre. It’s an incredibly entertaining piece to watch, but with the information that’s held up to the audience, it also gives them something to think about. And with the power of a live event – in which the audience participates in imagining what is being presented – the engagement is just so amazing. It’s delightful to see how much the audience become involved on a personal level with the issues being played out on stage.”

“With Seeds, the audience gets the opportunity to use its imagination to the fullest. This is the essence of theatre, and a very fulfilling, pleasing, and human experience.” - Eric Peterson So to experience a live performance featuring some of Canada’s very best acting talent, that touches the mind as well as the heart, and that does it all with truly unforgettable intensity and passion, buy a ticket to Seeds today!

Tickets are available from The Centre Box Office at 604-791-SHOW(7469) or from www.chilliwackculturalcentre. ca – don’t miss the opportunity to experience a Canadian acting star in action!

“The year I graduated, we did a lot of fundraising so the music students could go to New York. That trip had a huge impact on my decision to become an actress and singer. I am happy to help the current students have that same type of experience.”

Music teacher Janine Webster adds, “We are thrilled to have Molly and Oliver back on our stage.

It’s great to see former students at any time but having these two willing to come back to support our music department is extra special.”
