Incinerator decision trashed

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

h e d e c i s i o n by Me t ro Vancouver’s solid waste committee to recommend building a trash incinerator in the region has disappointed the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce, the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) and Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz. The committee agreed Wednesday to recommend that the Metro board approve the amended solid waste management plan, which includes investigating “additional publicly-owned waste-to-energy capacity” in Metro Vancouver.

City, regional district and even our chamber of commerce express disappointment with Metro Chilliwack chamber president Jason Lum was at the meeting

“The reasoning employed is not only unneighbourly, but has no basis in science or economics.” Sharon Gaetz and he said there were “minimal changes” made to the draft pro-

posal that was presented in Chilliwack on June 16, a proposal that was widely opposed by local residents, including Gaetz and Chilliwack MLA John Les. “I am extremely disappointed in some of the members of the Metro’s Solid Waste Committee’s decision to recommend the in-region incinerator option to the board,” Gaetz told the Times Thursday. “The reasoning employed is not only unneighbourly, but has no basis in science or economics.”

Lum agreed. “Although the Fraser Valley taxpayer sadly can do little to hold Metro Vancouver politicians accountable for the decision made today they will have to be accountable to their own tax base in their local jurisdictions when they find out the financial planning for the in-region incinerator has been woefully inadequate and poorly communicated,” Lum said in a press release issued Wednesday. The Metro board will consider

the plan on July 30 before it goes to Environment Minister and Chilliwack-Hope MLA Barry Penner for final approval. Penner has previously stated that Metro has other options besides in-region incineration, including expanding the Cache Creek landfill and a proposal by Covanta Energy to build an incinerator in Gold River on Vancouver Island. The FVRD responded Wednesday with criticism of the decision. “To say we are disappointed in this decision is an understatement,” said Abbotsford Coun. Patricia Ross and FVRD board chair.

The City of Chilliwack was told it needed to double its spending on cultural activity, according to a study commissioned by CEPCO. A new museum, public art gallery, a First Nations arts and cultural centre and possibly a new building for the then existing Arts Centre would position the city to reap the economic benefits of a vibrant arts and cultural community. The study showed the city would more than double its investment in the arts.

New chapter for ministry

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

d ow n t ow n d e m o l i t i o n this week signified a new beginning for a Chilliwack institution. A crew began tearing down the old Kel-Tone dry cleaners building at the corner of Fletcher and Margaret on Tuesday to make way for the construction of the new 8,000square-foot Ruth & Naomi’s, according to board chair Wayne Massey. “Ruth & Naomi’s is really, really thrilled that today we take down the old building and a new chapter begins in our ministry,” he said. “The people who are our guests and our clients are thrilled as well.” Once complete, in between eight months and a year, the new facility

will have room for 24 “permanent” beds upstairs and 15 transitional housing beds on the main floor. The first floor will also house a dining hall and the main street operations where the less fortunate are catered to “both spiritually and physically,” according to Massey. He said Fraser Health and provincial social services will also provide programs for those who suffer from addiction issues. “The people upstairs will go through reintegration programs to get control of their addiction issues,” Massey said. Ruth & Naomi’s recently moved operations into trailers and containers placed on the property directly next to the building being torn down. Directors Ted and Ann Stoker were on the scene and were glad

Mats go down after that, and they have temporary shelter space for 15 people. Funding for the new tilt-up building all came from donations, according to Massey. “This was done through the love and charity of the people of Chilliwack,” he said. Massey added that the lot Ruth & Naomi’s is temporarily using was donated by the owner, Gordon Linklater. He said the Anavets helped them out with the move, and the owner of Clark’s restaurant gave them the use of his kitchen. “If you are going to make this a story, the story has to focus on the generosity and love of the people of Chilliwack,” Massey said. “That’s the real story.”

The 30-year-old man was moved from the crash scene to Cheam elementary school, where he was transferred to an air ambulance. He could be seen moving his arms and talking following the accident. As of Thursday, he was listed in stable condition, according to Dunlop. A 19-year-old female passenger was also injured in the crash and taken to Chilliwack General Hospital, suffering from substantial bruising and lacerations. Dunlop said the three occupants of the truck, a woman and her two children, were uninjured in the accident. Kelly Michaloski, who lives near the accident site, said he heard the motorcycle travelling at a fast speed just before the collision. “I heard the bike givin’ ‘er,” he told the

Several witnesses reported the bike passing them “at a high rate of speed,” just before the crash, she said. “It appears at this point that the speed was the main contributing factor.” Police have not yet interviewed the driver and Dunlop was unable to say how experienced the man was. However, as the 1,000cc Yamaha motorcycle lay on the ground, a temporary permit that took effect Tuesday was clearly visible, and in tatters. Yale Road was closed for about three hours as police investigated.

Crown focus on wiretap

wo men charged with extort i o n , a g g ra va t e d a s s a u l t , robbery and unlawful confinement are headed to trial next year, although there are no assurances when exactly a judge will decide their fate.

Last November, police arrested Krayem and Lanci following a twoweek, around-the-clock investiga-

tion. On Tuesday, the Crown said its case will focus on wiretap evidence, testimony from three witnesses, and evidence seized during the investigation. In setting a date for a trial, Crown counsel said as many as 40 to 60 witnesses were involved in the investigation. Not all of those people—many of them police officers who participated in the investigation—will testify, although the Crown suggested

FraserValley politicians are opposed to the incinerator proposal, arguing it will pollute their sensitive airshed. At least four municipalities, including Vancouver, have also said they won’t support incineration until the region has explored all options to reduce waste. Metro Vancouver chief adminstrative officer Johnny Carline said an incinerator is the best option for the region according to “the technical, evidence-based analysis” that was done. But not everyone on the committee voted for the proposal. “I’m very doubtful if an inregion waste facility would pass scrutiny by the provincial government,” said Port Moody Mayor Joe Trasolini, who voted against the plan. “I want to go to Victoria with something that has a reasonable chance. Our choices are waste-to-energy outside the region or landfill and I’m not prepared to accept a landfill anywhere.” Both Trasolini and Port Co q u i t l a m Ma y o r G re g Moore suggested Metro should instead consider building a publicly owned incinerator outside the region. Moore, who is also the chairman of the solid waste committee, said while he’s comfortable with the incinerator technology, “opposition will be quite fierce” in Metro Vancouver and he expects the proposal would get multiple bids outside the region. But Carline said a new $470-million incinerator in the region is staff’s preferred option to deal with the up to 500,000 tonnes of additional garbage per year that can’t otherwise be recycled. By building it here, he said, Metro would have more control over the garbage as well as the revenues from electricity and heat sales, not to mention it would be cheaper than trucking the

trash away. “On balance, Metro Vancouver staff would still recommend an in-region preference, but as a second choice would suggest an approach that gives no preference to either in-region or out-of-region solution and allow the procurement process to decide between them,” Carline said in his report. As far as the Fraser Valley’s concerns, Carline said there is no science to support tthe argument the incinerator will have a huge affect on pollution. He said Fraser Valley residents are already burning in their backyards. Ross disagreed and said “most of the pollution in the Fraser Valley is outside of ours . . . from the U.S. and Metro Vancouver.” But she noted there’s still hope as the matter goes before the Metro board as well as Penner. “They just went through this major round of consultation,” she said, noting that the incinerator debate has drawn opposition from chambers of commerce, CUPE, the Wilderness Committee and Pembina Institute, among others. “There’s not a whole lot in favour. How o f t e n d o w e h a v e environmentalists and the business sector united in opposition? “There’s still hope; there are people on the Metro board opposed to this.” Gaetz said “we won’t be ignored.” She called on the Metro board to find a solution that respects its neighbours and she reminded residents that Penner still has to approve Metro’s trash plan. “Our MLA who is the minister of the environment has the last say,” she said. “I strongly urge the residents of the valley to write to him and inundate him with requests that he deny this application.”

ounties are now saying that dangerous sex offender Dale Koenders was not on the loose for more than a week before the public was notified. Police originally said that Koenders had bolted his parole on June 30, more than a week before the police first warned the public of a man they say has a history of vio-

lent sex attacks. But Mounties now say that while they haven’t seen Koenders since June 30, he first failed to report back from his day parole on July 7. RCMP spokesperson Cpl.

Muirhead shifted gears and said in this case the city’s nuisance, noxious or offensive trades, health and safety bylaw was inappropriate because vandals had damaged the house and it was likely beyond repair and needed to be torn down. And, the lawyer explained, the owner is in the middle of a civil forfeiture proceeding for the property that forbids him from making alterations. Muirhead also said “the owner is an

innocent victim” with respect to the massive grow operation discovered on his property. “We do have a bylaw that says the owner has to inspect the property every two months or we consider them to be complicit,” Gaetz responded. The grow site took a toll on the surrounding environment, as police say chemicals were spilled at the site used in the grow-op. As well, the operators had run an irrigation line from nearby Elk Creek, a fish-bearing stream, and were pumping water to supply the grow-op. Water was not the only thing the operation was siphoning illegally. Police estimate that based on the amount of time they believe the grow-op was in business, it probably consumed more than $400,000 of stolen hydro electric power. Despite the pleas from the owner’s lawyer, council unanimously voted to file notice on title of the property because of the deficiencies from the grow-op.

CHILLIWACK WALKS

By Blair Qualey, President and CEO of the New Car Dealers Association of BC With the introduction of the Harmonized Sales Tax in British Columbia on July 1, some misinformation has surfaced as related to the HST and its affect on new car purchases. In fact, the new HST has zero effect on the amount of tax that will be paid on a new car, and some consumers will even pay less for their vehicle under the new tax rules. New car dealers across BC are receiving phone calls from consumers who are concerned that the new blended tax will make a new car unattainable. The reality is that both the GST and PST, which are blended together to form the new HST, were already charged on all new vehicle purchases prior to the introduction of the blended tax. This means that the total tax we must charge on a new vehicle remains exactly the same - 12 per cent - as it did prior to July 1. Some new vehicle consumers will actually find savings with the HST when they visit our showrooms, in that its introduction means the elimination of the vehicle “luxury tax” of up to 3 per cent on new cars worth more than $55,000. Consumers who are researching to purchase a used vehicle should also know that the combined tax rate means that private sales are now subject to the same tax as public sales. This means that, dollar-for-dollar, buying a used car from a private seller will cost the same - if not more, due to the competitive pricing that only an established dealer can offer - than buying from a new car dealership. Our industry is transitioning out of an undeniably difficult time with exciting technological advances and low sticker prices showcased on the showroom floors of new car dealers across this province. Consumer confidence is returning and we continue to closely monitor the needs and concerns of our consumers to ensure we are offering the clearest information available with regards to perceived impacts of the HST. The introduction of the HST has no affect on purchases made on new cars in BC, and therefore the current industry climate continues to offer consumers the perfect conditions under which to research and buy a new vehicle.

he owner of the property where the largest marijuana grow operation in Chilliwack RCMP history was discovered last year played the innocent victim at city council on Monday, but Mayor Sharon Gaetz didn’t buy his story. Lloyd Allan McConnell of Langley is the owner of a Nixon Road property where 11,520 marijuana plants were discovered in September 2009 in an underground bunker in what Chilliwack RCMP called “the largest, most sophisticated” grow operation ever. Police say a conservative estimate of the value of the crop was at least $3 million. After the bust, and at the RCMP’s request, the city carried out a health and safety inspection and “hazardous conditions” were found and reported to the owner. After a series of further letters to the owner of 7630 Nixon Rd. ordering the building cleaned up and secured, the city held a show cause hearing on July 19 to file a notice on the title related to health and safety issues stemming from the grow-op. McConnell is the president of a numbered company that owns the property, and lawyer Nathan Muirhead attended the Monday hearing to ask city council to delay putting the notice on title. “The owner hasn’t received formal

Chilliwack youth program is hoping the public can help replace a barbecue stolen Wednesday from a downtown park. Every Wednesday, Chilliwack Community Services youth program hosts a free barbecue in Chilliwack Central Park aimed at local youth but willing to feed anybody who happens to come along. Program co-ordinator Robert Skinner said that normally he and the children, aged 10 to 18, gather the equipment at the CCS door, then walk it over together. On Wednesday, however, “one of the kids got his signal crossed and took the barbecue down to the park—a real go-getter—and put it on the bench.” Unfortunately, when Skinner returned to the park the yellow, portable barbecue was gone. It was taken, said other people in the park, by a man in a striped shirt. “The kids and I sat around shell-shocked and said ‘what are we going to do now?’” The event was saved—Skinner went home and brought his personal barbecue—but now the program needs a replacement. Indeed, it needs a couple of replacements. Skinner, had been borrowing the now-stolen barbecue from another CCS program, while he hoped to get one for his own programs, which include hikes, trips to the beach and other fun youth events.

We’re solar ready BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

iven Chilliwack was ra n k e d s e c o n d i n the category of fewest sunny days year-round by Environment Canada, making all local developers accommodate future installation of solar hot water systems might sound a little like building an outdoor ice rink in Arizona. But that’s what city council has done. At the July 5 meeting, council agreed to a request of the provincial government that it add Chilliwack to a list of jurisdictions that are “solar hot water ready.” The move is part of the provincial government’s solar hot water-ready regulation created in partnership with Solar BC and in consultation with the development industry. In common construction

practice, roof and wall spaces are not built with weight and space requirements in mind for solar hot water systems, according to the staff report to council. By requiring builders to accommodate the future installation of the systems, significant cost savings are made when the homeowners installs one. “Most single family dwellings can be in use for 50 years or more and allowances for the future adoption of future technologies, including solar hot water heating, is practical,” the report stated. Staff said the cost to the builder to accommodate the systems is “negligible.” The City of Chilliwack has committed to becoming carbon neutral in operations by 2012. In 2007, the city signed the climate action charter, an agreement between the city, the province and the Union of B.C. Municipalities.

◗ Opinion

A butterfly flaps its wings . . .

hen someone dies, those around that person are right to feel sad, nostalgic and sometimes even angry. But what if that person knew her death was coming, fully accepted the end, and took joy in the finale of a life well-lived? Should we feel relieved, contented, even happy when a person like this passes? This is not a rhetorical question; I don’t have an answer, but when I heard Erika Abelson died on July 10, somehow it didn’t seem sad. Of course, I didn’t really know Erika. I only met the 83-year-old woman once. Writing about the passing of a woman I met only one time may seem inappropriate. However, her friend Earla Legault told me that when I first wrote about Erika after we met this spring, that Erika enjoyed what I wrote and that I “got her.” That’s the greatest compliment I could receive as a journalist who writes about many different topics and people, often after very brief interviews and with just snippets of information. In April, Erika told me she saw the monarch butterfly as a metaphor for the end of life. She said she lived a wonderful life with Harry, her husband of 50 years, as a green and silver caterpillar. Then, on June 8, escorted by Earla, she went to Cascade Hospice where the nurse lifted her from the car and carried her inside

PAUL J. HENDERSON

SimplyA Musing beginning 32 days of loving care in the cocoon of hospice. “From that time on she received loving, knowledgeable care during her stay from the hospice staff and volunteers,” said Earla. Earla said that despite the fact that Erika slept through the serving of ice cream cake at her 83rd birthday, friends came together to be by her side at the hospice. Earla knew Erika for almost 20 years, back from when she and Harry used to come to the Agassiz Library where Earla worked. “Harry used to come pick up their books while Ricky watched Coronation Street,” she said. Erika grew up in what was the Free State of Danzig (now Gdansk, Poland). She met Harry, who was in the British army, in wartorn Germany. He died of pancreatic cancer in 2002, after which Erika joined the Chilliwack Hospice Society and greatly valued the work they do. She encouraged everyone to get involved and donate money if possible. To describe an older person as “cute” may seem silly or dis-

respectful, but with Erika the term seems apt. Despite her near blindness she had the wide, curious-looking eyes of a child with an effusive and infectious smile when I met her. She had a spirit that lit up a room and made you want to talk to her. Or just listen. Erika was told on March 30 that she had a brain tumour and was given two or three months to live. She had no family, which helped her embrace her imminent end, but she did have many friends who I’m sure will miss her greatly. Some of those same friends might take solace that Erika was so accepting of death, and so happy to be involved in hospice, where she knew she would spend her final days. “Life and death, it goes together,” she told me. “That’s what hospice is—people who are there to watch over you to go out in a peaceful way.” On July 10, peacefully and in no pain, Erika Abelson made that final metamorphosis into a butterfly and left this world. In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is a metaphor to explain how a small and subtle impact can have a long-term effect on something much larger. Maybe Erika’s small flutter in this world and her promotion of the Chilliwack Hospice Society can have a big impact on how all of us look at the end of life.

erusing the archives of the Chilliwack Times readers will see the city has a serious problem with marijauna grow operations. Whether they are in basements in downtown apartments, in sheds in the suburbs or in outbuildings in more rural settings, grow-ops are ubiquitous in this town. And whenever a grow-op is busted in a home, the owner of that home is held responsible for the clean-up. Anyone who might want to purchase a home should be made aware that the home was a grow-op, and that is the intent of Section 57 of the Community Charter whereby municipalities can put a notice on the title of a property to protect prospective buyers. The owner of the Nixon Road property on which more than 11,500 marijuana plants in a sophisticated underground bunker were discovered last year told city council—through his lawyer—that he was an “innocent victim.” Yeah, right. Most Chilliwack landlords are responsible and do a great job to ensure their properties are kept in good condition and their tenants aren’t up to no good. But there are more than enough absentee landlords that simply rake in rent cheques and pay no attention to what goes on at their properties. For the owner of a property—any property— that is found to have a grow-op to claim innocence is ridiculous. The Langley owner of the Nixon Road property found with the largest grow-op the Chilliwack RCMP have ever seen must think we are a bunch of rubes out here to send his lawyer to city council to claim that he should not be responsible for what went on at his property.

Letters

Explaining gas price worthy of Nobel Editor: Regarding the letter from F. E. McGough in the July 20 edition of the Chilliwack Times (“Held to ransom by sky-high local fuel prices”). I must admit that I too have been perplexed by the the pattern of gasoline price fluctuations in Chilliwack. I commute to Langley most weeks of the year and drive past the Chevron station at 232nd and the No. 1 Highway five days a week. As one would expect, the pump price at this station is consistently higher than the pump price in Chilliwack. As Langley is included in Metro Vancouver area, the price would be higher owing to transit taxes, etc., as Ms/Mr McGough notes in her/his letter, so this difference makes sense (excluding the cost of transporting the gasoline, of course. Yet another mystery.). What does not make sense is the extent of the difference. I have seen it as high as nine cents per litre and as low as three cents per litre. Why? Are these differences representative of local economic market forces at work? (Gas “wars” do happen.) Are they representative of quantum fluctuations in the vacuum of the universe (à la Heisenberg)? Why doesn’t the cost of transporting the gasoline seem to come into play? Why does the cost of gasoline that is already in the tanks of the distributor and that has presumably already been paid for by said gasoline distributor have to increase? Wouldn’t that occur when the next shipment is delivered? I’m afraid this is far too deep a topic for my feeble mind. If there is a budding Nobel laureate in either economics or physics out there who can explain this to me in layperson’s terms, I would love to hear from you. Philip Tingey Chilliwack

B.C.’s total budget for education programs for 2010-11 is $5.1 billion and the total ministry budget, including public libraries, is $5.16 billion. Of that total, $4.66 billion is allocated to operate public schools. Sharma notes that the provincial government increased education funding by $112 million for 2010. However, education costs (most mandated or controlled by the

province) will rise by almost three times that much, the B.C. Association of School Business Officials has estimated. Additionally, the education ministry projects that province wide enrolment will increase in 2010. This explains why even districts with growing enrolment faced budget deficits in 2010 and were therefore forced to cut services. Sharma also claims that per-student funding now exceeds $10,000 yearly. Again, this is not consistent with the B.C. Education Ministry’s own calculations, which estimate average per student funding for 2010-11 is $8,301, as we had indicated. Sharma bemoans the sad fact that so many of Chilliwack’s public school students are struggling with math—but apparently they are not alone. And while we can’t seem to agree on the math around education funding, I would reiterate that we fully agree on the need to invest more in early intervention for students with learning challenges. This is sound educational policy, as the long-term benefits would far outweigh the costs. What Dr. Sharma fails to grasp is that the province’s failure to adequately fund special education costs has created a growing gap, eroding our public schools’ capacity to offer the early intervention programs that our students so urgently require. Our website includes extensive information on B.C. education funding, local impacts and links to advocacy initiatives such as Chilliwack’s “Kids Matter.” Since Prof. Sharma clearly shares our passionate commitment to a strong and effective public education system, I would invite him to browse the information on our website, link up with local public education advocates and/or add his name to our almost 5,000 supporters on Facebook. This is about the success of our K-12 students. They are British Columbia’s future. There is nothing more important than our collective responsibility to work together to secure the necessary investments to prepare them as best we can for whatever lies ahead.

Faith Today

Please do not read this: It’s all ‘Hevel’ anyway BY RICK BELLAVANCE Mountain View Church

have a question for you: Have you ever stopped and wondered why you are here? Is it because of some random explosion in space that created life, and through evolution you just happen to be here? Is this all there is to life, or is there something more, something else? You’ll be surprised to know that someone in the Bible asked that same question and he even wrote a book about his quest to figure it all out. It is called Ecclesiastes and Christians (and also churches) tend to ignore it like the plague.

You see, a lot of Christians get depressed when they read it so I do want to warn you, Ecclesiastes is not for everyone. But I think the book (which is filled with joy by the way) is greatly misunderstood and, therefore, people who read it tend to walk away with the wrong conclusions. But what makes this book very interesting is that the writer begins by taking God out of the picture as he looks at life. You might be thinking at this point: “That’s a bit strange for someone in the Bible to do that.” But if you want to properly answer the question, you need to look at it from a worldly perspective, which he does as he

looks at life “under the sun”. He looks at: 1) nature and notices that it is always repeating the same cycles—it never changes; 2) pleasure (drinking, eating, women, money, etc.); 3) work (that once you’ve climbed up to the top, then what?); 4) death (since you can’t bring the results of your hard work with you, what does it matter in the end anyway? Especially since all the benefits of your hard work could end up in someone else’s underserving hands). With all of this in mind, he realizes that, at the end of the day, it’s all “hevel.” This is a Hebrew word that means “breath, vanity, nothingness, useless, or utterly

meaningless.” It’s like peeing in the wind; it serves no purpose. (For all you guys out there, please don’t try this). Now I don’t know where you are at today as you read this article. Maybe you have pondered this already, or maybe you are in this place right now, where your life feels meaningless. But there is something else that the writer brings up in these 12 chapters that he realizes after all the partying, drinking, womanizing and hard work that he did. It is this: Life without God is indeed meaningless. So we need to happily enjoy the things that are in the now, as they are a gift from

God, and to live contentedly in the present without anxiety about the future because at any moment, your life could slip away. But before you dive into this, the writer also balances it by keeping in mind Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 “... Fear God and keep his commandments ... for God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.” Sound advice. But don’t just take my word for it.

Road Rules applauds three recent editorials in lower mainland newspapers. Memo to cyclists: Obey the law— was the lead editorial in the July 2nd Vancouver Sun. An initial recitation of the annual BC statistics: 1,300 crashes involving cyclists resulting in, on average, 10 fatalities Cedric Hughes and more than 1,400 injuries, sets the stage for a straightforward imperative: both drivers and cyclists need to know the rules of the road and abide by them. Because drivers are qualified by strict and strictly enforced legal requirements, the stated assumption is that “drivers already know what to do.” Because “anyone can purchase a bicycle and ride it” the stated and, alas, not unreasonable assumption is that “many cyclists either don’t know the provincial laws and city bylaws that govern cycling, believe they don’t apply to them or deliberately flout them as if to say, “Catch me if you can.” The “memo” goes on to describe what laws apply to cycling—the BC Motor Vehicle Act and municipal bylaws—in Vancouver, the City of Vancouver Street and Traffic By-Law No. 2849—and then lists eight rules described as only “a small sample” of the “laws on the books that cyclists break every day.” Harsh maybe, but with a laudable premise: that cyclists following the required rules would prove to drivers that they are “rightful users the road” and would help make the roads safer for all. The second, I am the speeder I despise was a letter to the editor of the North

THE ROAD RULES

The third safety article was by Jon Ferry, the Editorial Pages Editor of The Province newspaper who often writes about traffic and road safety issues. Mr. Ferry states his case in the headline and subhead: —Clearer signs are needed on BC roads–Poor signage in the Lower Mainland causes driver confusion and indecision. He reports numerous examples of “terrible [signage]… signs that are “too late and …not big enough” and “not marked clearly.” He notes, “This can lead to tragic accidents.” While acknowledging divided responsibility amongst different levels of government as a partial cause, he calls for “a fresh pair of eyes and a bold new visionary approach to improving this critical aspect of road safety.” Cedric Hughes L.L.B.

Shore News. The writer describes being stopped for driving 65 km/h in a 50 km/h zone on his home street. The police officer said, “We were called by you (the people living on this street) because you complained that there are too many people speeding here. We have been here the whole morning. And guess how Barrister & Solicitor many people we stopped who do not live on this street? Zero! The only guys who drive like there is no tomorrow are you! You people living here!” For the letter writer, “This was the moment where it dawned on me… It was not them—it was us!” The frustrated and wise police officer suggested to the ‘speeder’ that he write a letter to his local newspaper describing and explaining what he had learned.

Happy to have options BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

uality and quantity: that’s the theme of this year’s Chilliwack Huskers, who head into action Saturday against Victoria with a new philosophy, more than three dozen new players, and a full roster. Head coach Luke Acheson could only dream of having a full roster last year, when he took over interim co-head coaching duties midway through last year. Now, as the man steering the ship, Acheson has options, options and more options: at quarterback, running back and receiver, in the secondary, and on the defensive line. At quarterback, returning pivot Clayton Kroeker will be pushed by Adann Hendrickson and, hopefully, Hayden Nicol, a sought-after recruit out of Burnaby. “They’re pushing Clayton right now and that’s breeding exactly what we want in camp: a competitive situation where everybody has to work their hardest on every play. I think we have that through the whole team, which is making us better,” said Acheson. Offensively, he added, “We have a little bit more flexibility and a wider range of things that we can do.” Out of the backfield, Acheson said Austin Kappel, a new recruit who played university ball for the Regina Rams last year. will likely start on Saturday. He’ll be teamed with returning rusher Ben Skerrett, who will get some touches. “We really loved those two guys at camp and we’ll see what they can do this weekend,” said Acheson. While the Huskers may not have put any points on the board in last week’s exhibition game against Surrey, Acheson said the team’s passing game was a strong point, thanks in lar-

ge part to a solid receiving corps. Fourth-year Teague Funk will provide leadership and consistency while six-foot-three, 250-pound John Smeysters will provide a big body and soft hands. They’ll be joined by a strong cast of new recruits highlighted by six-foot-two slotback Adam Leggott, who played for the Saskatoon Hilltops and was recruited with Kroeker, his former teammate. “You can tell he’s got leadership and he knows the game of football,” said Acheson. “He’s fast, he’s big, he’s got great hands.” On defence, you can’t miss 280-pound returnee Sam Looysen, who will again hope to impose himself on opposing quarterbacks. Linebacking spots are still up for grabs, but the starting secondary is already spoken for. “These are all returning guys . . . who know the system,” said Acheson. One of those returnees—Jason Dumas—will miss a couple of the season’s first games for his own wedding. Dumas is also pencilled in as the team’s kicker, although Acheson hopes to permanently turn field goal duties over to newcomer Daniel Sturm after some fine tuning. While many of the starting players will be returning from last year, the addition of some 40 new players will give the coaching staff the ability to adjust on the fly, something that was impossible last year with a team consisting of barely two dozen players. With the season finally here, Acheson can’t wait to watch his team take the field. “I’ve been excited for this season for a long, long time,” he said. “There’s a lot of hard work that goes into building a team like this and I think we’ve done a great job in Chilliwack and made monster steps from last year.” Acheson isn’t promising miracles but he does say this does promise effort, improvement and a competitive team.

Tips for creating flavour when cooking meat

or many of us, meat is an important part of our daily diet. Whether it be beef, lamb, pork or chicken, it is important to know the basics of creating the most flavour possible. Marinades seem to be first and foremost in people’s minds when it comes to creating flavour in cooked meats. Although they do create flavour, they are also important in making a cut of meat more tender. The best marinades are made up from the simplest of ingredients that you have in your home already. Please don’t rely on the packages of powder you

CHEF DEZ

On Cooking find at the supermarkets. Marinades are made up from a base, an acid, and flavourful ingredients. The base of a marinade is usually oil, as this will aid in the cooking process. An acid such as vinegar, wine, or lemon juice is added to breakdown the tougher proteins found in the meat. Red meats and

and condiments, are just a few. Be creative. Flavour creation does not only exist by marinating. Searing meats, marinated or not, is very important. There is virtually no cooking method that should exempt one from searing meat first. This develops a crust that will carry flavour all the way through to the finished dish one is preparing. Stew, for example, has a more developed beef flavour when the stew meat pieces are browned prior to the addition of other ingredients. Many presume searing seals juices inside the meat.

pork, depending on the cuts, are the toughest and are better to marinate from one hour up to 24 hours. Chicken proteins are much more delicate and are more preferably marinated for no longer than four to six hours. Over-marinated chicken will actually start to become tough. The same applies to seafood, as its protein composition is even more fragile than chicken. Seafood should usually be marinated for a mere 30 minutes to an hour. The flavour combinations that can be added to a marinade are literally endless. Crushed garlic, herbs, spices,

This, however, is incorrect as no amount of searing can prevent the loss of moisture. The flavour in crust development can be enhanced even further by the addition of seasoning. If the meat has not been marinated, you may want to add salt and pepper to the meat prior to searing. This simple seasoning will then become part of the meat’s outer shell. Applying dry rubs, consisting of a mixture of many different spices, prior to searing is popular for adding a complexity of flavours. Searing should be done at a high temperature with an

amount of oil that prevents sticking. Do not crowd the pan or surface area, as this will decrease the temperature and cause the meat to simmer in its juices rather than caramelize. Searing also creates “browned bits” (called fond) on the bottom of a pan. Fond will also add depth of flavour to a sauce being created. To achieve this, add a liquid, such as wine or stock, to the pan and loosen these bits with a wooden spoon. Use this liquid as a part of the sauce, or reduce it further it to become a sauce of its own. See CHEF DEZ, Page 17

meat, not just beef roasts. The “resting” period gives the meat time to adjust coming from the extreme heat to room temperature. During the cooking process, the high heat causes the atoms in the molecular structure of the meat to move at a high rate of speed. If the meat is cut into soon after it has been removed from the oven, grill, or pan, it will lose a large degree of its vital juices that keep it moist and flavourful. ◗ Send your food/cooking questions to dez@ chefdez.com or P.O.

Classic play first offering

Paul J. Henderson/TIMES

Members of Secondary Characters rehearse for the group’s inaugural production, Little Women, which starts Aug. 5.

hilliwack’s newest musical theatre group brings Louisa May Alcott’s classic Little Women to the stage in August. Chilliwack currently has a variety of musical theatre programs for youth, but new group Secondary Characters is the only adult musical theatre offering in town. Based on the much-loved 19th century novel by Alcott, Little Women takes us through the joys and struggles of a family of women left behind when the family patriarch is called to service as a union army chaplain during the Civil War. The story is about the four March sisters: aspiring author Jo, romantic Meg, pretentious Amy and kind-hearted Beth and, of course, their beloved Marmee. This musical adaptation of the well-loved classic is sure to be enjoyed by all. The play focuses on Jo, played here by Steffi Munshaw, as she struggles to become a writer of melodramatic works, which often “come to life” in her attic studio. Suffering many rejections, she travels to New York to pursue her dream. While there, she meets Professor Bhaer, played by Gabriel Kirkley, who falls in love with her and encourages her to write from her soul. Jo’s story unfolds as she tells of her life with her sisters, Meg, played by Jackie Block, Beth by Caroline Davies and Amy by Katrina Barson, and her mother Marmee, played

by Shelley Wojcik, a pillar of strength in the home, although feeling very much alone. Their neighbour Laurie, who quickly becomes Jo’s best friend, is played by Marlin Toftager, and his stern yet soft-hearted grandfather is played by John Sovereign. Laurie’s tutor, John Brooke, is played by Kris Ward, and Aunt March, the family’s pretentious and wealthy matriarch, who is constantly pushing Jo to become a lady, is played by Sabine Quilman. This 10-person cast will be accompanied by a live 10-piece orchestra under the musical direction of Nicola Davies. Andrew Smith and Erin Wells are co-directors. Artistic director and choreographer will be Shelley Wojcik, producer Nicola Davies, stage manager Nicola Bramble, lighting design by Jamea Lister, set design by Evan Hutchinson, and costume design by Jordana Hood. Little Women, the musical’s music is by Jason Howland, lyrics are by Mindi Dickstein, and book is by Allan Knee.

◗ Little Women runs Aug. 5, 6, 7, 12, 13 and 14 at 7:30 p.m. There are also two matinees Aug. 8 and 14 at 2 p.m. Performances are at the University of the Fraser Valley Theatre, 45635 Yale Rd. Tickets are $15.50 for adults and $12.50 for students and seniors and can be purchased through the Chilliwack Arts Centre, 45899 Henderson Ave., 604-792-2069.

Record crowds at Festival

he Harrison Festival Society has reported the largest audiences ever for the evening concert series at the recent 32nd annual Harrison Festival of the Arts. Harrison audiences embraced the diverse program and the entire festival was a great success, according to organizers. Festival executive director Phyllis Stenson was so impressed with the event she was left with a dilemma: “What am I going to do next year?” she asked. “How can I possibly top this?” All concerts were well-attended with half the shows hosting large audience numbers. Legendary California performers Dan Hicks and David Lindley both sold out their shows, as did the wild Scottish band Peatbog Faeries. A concert by Spain’s El Puchero del Hortelano was close to a sell-out, with an enthusiastic crowd passing around a Spanish flag and a replica of the World Cup trophy in the wake of that country’s soccer success. The evening of theatre also had very strong

attendance. The beach stage was popular this year as always with many comments received on the strength of the programming. Bhangra/Celtic/Electronica outfit Delhi 2 Dublin filled the beach on the first weekend, with crowds estimated at close to 1,000. A special project of this year’s festival was “North to Canada,” an all-star show based on the songs and stories of the Underground Railroad and the musicians’ personal experiences. The show featured veteran soul and blues performers and the legendary Leon Bibb, which was a special treat as it was his first appearance in Harrison. Many comments were also received about the art exhibit at the Ranger Station Art Gallery where artist-in-residence Rhonda Simmonds assembled a number of pieces filled with visual wit and thought-provoking humour. The Art Market also featured the work of artists and artisans that proved popular with the crowds.

Gilbert (Gib) AMUNDRUD

November 12 1924 - July 5 2010 In loving memory of Gib Amundrud who passed away peacefully in his sleep at Kelowna General Hospital, after a courageous three year battle with myelofibrosis. He lived a very full and happy life starting as a strapping farm boy, the youngest of five strong Norwegian Canadian brothers on the family homestead in Saskatchewan. He moved to B.C. with his first wife Agnes and his four small children in 1964. He was a skilled jack of all trades and a master carpenter. He was also a very accomplished multi-instrumental musician. He sang and played in bands from the early age of 12 until the age of 83. He was a 2005 Guinness World Record holder for participating in a 665 pce. accordion orchestra. He even managed to cut three CDs after turning 80 years old. He lived in Chilliwack with his second wife Arlene from their marriage in 1978 until her death in 2000, when he moved to Westbank, B.C. He was pre-deceased by his mother Anna and father Anton, his wives Agnes and Arlene, his brothers Andy, Ole and Edwin, and grandson Robbie. Gib will be lovingly remembered by his brothers Tom and Ernie, his son Duane (Sue), and daughters Shelly, Shauna (Ron), Donna (Larry), and step-daughter Kelly. Grandchildren Devon, Nicole, Ryan, Jesse, Tanis, Chelsea, Clayton, Derek, Will, Rob, Tania and Niki, and blessed with 6 great-grandchildren and countless other loving relatives, friends, and bandmates. A celebration of his life will take place on Sat July 31, 2010 in Kelowna. Please call daughter Shelly at 250-863-1354 to get details for attendance.

HARMS, Helen 1918 ~ 2010

Helen Harms passed away on Monday, July 19th after a valiant fight with pneumonia and kidney failure. In death, as in life, she did things in her own time and on her own terms. She was born Helen Hiebert on February 27, 1918 in the village of Groenveld in the Ukraine. She emigrated with her family to Herbert Saskatchewan in 1923. On April 26, 1936 she married Peter Harms. Theirs was a great romance, a passionate marriage and a first rate partnership. They moved to the Chilliwack area in 1948 and were successful in business. They started P&E Builders and eventually built and named an apartment for each of the female family members. There was The Helena, named for Helen herself, The Marlene and The Pauline for her daughters-in-law and The Jennifer Christine for her second grand-daughter. Helen ran The Juanita and The Margot Michelle Apartments (named for her daughter and other grand-daughter respectively) continuously from Peter’s death in 1978 until she finally retired last fall at the age of 91. People will always remember Helen’s sharp mind and independent spirit. Although she never went to university herself she was a great believer in education and made it possible for all of her children and grandchildren to complete university degrees. Helen was an avid knitter and a great cook (a dessert she invented became a favourite of the Queen Mother) and she made the best buns on earth. In later years she enjoyed playing Mexican Train and no one ever beat her at Chinese Checkers. She was predeceased by her siblings, Marie Enns, Jacob Hiebert, Kay Dyck, Henry Hiebert and Anne Dirks. She is survived by her younger sisters, Martha Wiens, Freda Teichrob and Melita Summers. She will be missed by her two sons and their wives, Harold (Marlene) and Bob (Pauline) and her daughter Juanita Darlene, her grandchildren and their spouses, Michael (Barb), Margot (Bruce), Bruce, Brian (Carrie), Jennifer (Jordie), Peter (Nao), and Andrew (Angie) and her great grandchildren, Frances and Alexandra Ramsay, Simon, Nicholas and Olivia Harms, Carolyn and Charlotte Forbes, Peter Harms, and Keira and Kirsten Harms. She loved and cared for her family deeply. Her grandchildren and great grandchildren will carry the special bond that each of them had with their Nana throughout their lives. The family would like to thank the staff of the Lynnwood, Dr. Grunow and the nurses of 4 North Chilliwack General who were so thoughtful and caring in this difficult time. The memorial service was held July 22nd. Donations can be made in Helen’s memory to the Canadian Cancer Society, the M.C.C. or The Gideons International.

Cancer June 21-July 22: A gigantic shift peaks this summer (it began in 2008, lasts ultimately to 2024) in your relationships, career and home. You should see plenty of evidence of these forces of change this week and next. My advice is simple: be flexible, willing, eager to join forces, diplomatic, honest and loving. Then what can go permanently wrong? Nothing. You might have to deal with: A stubborn yet persuasive partner (or an almost too-alluring person!). Muffled anger in the home. A possible break-up. Unpredictable, yet unexpectedly lucky situations in your career, prestige realms or business. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: This summer’s massive changes and stresses don’t hit you as directly as some, Leo. But the slow changes that has been building for two years peak this week and next in your work, health, machineryrelated, communications, legal, educational, travelling, cultural, love, philosophical and intellectual spheres. (DON’T drive recklessly!) A letter could reveal a lawsuit, or an email could light your heart with love. Job changes might occur – but the more obvious changes are in intellectual, friendship and travel zones. Old methods will be abandoned; new ones will form (slowly, in some cases). Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Big financial, lifestyle and/or sexual changes are imminent. They won’t surprise, as life has “telegraphed” them to you for almost two years (and some have already occurred). View these changes as a varying landscape on a road that is primarily successful, creative, loving and fruitful. Still, challenges exist. A new, restrictive note quietly creeps into your earnings outlook for two years, so be conservative in spending. You might invest in your earnings sphere – e.g., buy equipment. Go slow. Investments are both unpredictable and lucky – sex, too! Surprising revelations come here and there!

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Major shifts are occurring in your life, in career, status, relationships and in yourself. You’re ready to make a big leap for freedom, yet there’s nowhere to land except in the area of duty, restriction and slow effort. Muffled anger might exist in a relationship. Best approach: use that urge toward freedom to seek philosophical learning or more education, or to expand socially and/or internationally. View all relationships and prospects not as escape, but as ambition’s ground. E.g., form a career partnership. Be prepared to change, go slow and exercise diplomacy. August accents negotiations. Taurus April 20-May 20: A major change is already underway. (It started last spring, but peaks now and lasts into 2011.) It affects your work, duty and intellectual spheres. These include such things as cultural events, love, international travel, publishing, higher learning, health, machinery/tools, employment/employees, government, institutional, administrative, spiritual and charity areas. Your life will never be the same! But these are not painful nor “crisis” changes – you’ll do fine! My best advice: turn a challenge into success, but don’t get caught in an unfixable situation/project. August holds a major task. Gemini May 21-June 20: It started in late 2008, intensified this spring, and peaks all summer: a series of major shifts in your sexual, financial, investment, health, romantic, creative, sports, speculation, child-oriented and social spheres. Never again will these be the same – improvement’s slated! You might begin a deeply intimate relationship with someone quite conservative or of a different generation. You might completely switch your financial structure. A new creativity can be sparked, but it is a slow, deep one, no overnight successes here. Be close to Aries and Libra friends; they might need you.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Major changes began about two years ago, intensified the last few months, and peak this week and next. (With variations through the years ahead.) The present peak brings in new elements, people and situations. Expect stresses/changes in home, security, property, all relationships, contracts, litigation, partnerships, relocation prospects and in yourself. You are now determined to enter a relationship only if it grants you security. This can cause a “muddying” effect. Amazing, bright, friendly, lucky, unexpected (and perhaps shortlived) relationships will arise – for seven years! Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Be ambitious. Many stresses and changes exist around you, but they affect others more directly; they could even create openings and opportunities for you to move forward. (Money-wise Sunday/Monday, socially Thursday.) These undergo flux: work, employment, machinery, duties toward children, management, corporate and government “organization charts,” institutions, spiritual and charitable interests. All these changes turn on the fulcrum of (or affect) your ability to communicate or travel. (E.g., changes “on high” might change who you communicate with, the style of report.) Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Big changes occur this summer in three areas of your life: the romantic, creative, pleasure and child-oriented sphere, the social, entertainment and “future dreams” area, and in your earnings/possessions zone. Generally, your social drives, optimism and love of fun will “rule,” whereas money necessities “out-power” your romantic and creative drives. You’re lucky pre-dawn Monday, and you clearly see money/domestic matters late Thursday. You might need to figure out some ethical, friendship or love matter Sunday/Monday. A month of travel, culture, love and learning lies ahead!

July 25 - 31 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: You’re in the power seat, but that doesn’t mean things will be easy. This week and next are the peak of a long change. This change has different levels – some are deep, inner, sexual, psychological, investment-oriented, and can change your whole lifestyle. Other changes occur in career, ambition and prestige dealings.You might break from a former career, association, or direction, and assume a new one. Realize a higher-up might be repressing anger. A potentially very lucky change arrives in your domestic sphere: now, soon, or February to June 2011. Treat aches, pains seriously. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Relationships come front and centre through the weeks ahead. Your sensual side has been very “awake” recently, but now the accent shifts to meaning, love, morals, communication, travel and mental links. You love these things, breezy mental interplay, ideals, meanings. This summer forces you, probably through a relationship, to rediscover and rebuild your morals and ideals, perhaps against a background of secret desires or fears. E.g., an attraction could make you question your loyalty. Or old “fibs” return to play the music you have to face. But this week proves you’re lucky, too! Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Lie low, rest Sunday to Tuesday. Your energy surges Wednesday/Thursday. Focus on money, earnings and spending Friday/Saturday. The weeks ahead emphasize work, health, dependents and machinery. A “prime” change brews in your health, sexual and financial spheres. (Financial: the price of groceries to your paycheque to investments/debt.) The change is deep and seminal – it starts a new future. These areas will definitely impact your plans for your future – and your plans will affect them. Expect luck, struggle, obstacles and opportunity. A relationship grows “talkative.” timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
