the summer, they would collect at Cody’s grandparents’ home and swim in the above-ground pool. Cody’s grandfather—his Opa—was a father figure; Cody would see his grandparents two or three times a week, and it was his Opa who taught Cody how to ride a bike and to ski. Ramona remembers a drive back from her parents’, when, out of the blue, a 16-year-old Cody blurted out to no one in particular: “I love
he number one reason new people come to Chilliwack is housing affordability. The average residential home price in Chilliwack was $289,209 in September, according to the B.C. Real Estate Association. T h a t n u m b e r c o m p a re s t o $316,974 in Kamloops, $401,982 in the Okanagan Mainline, $291,587 in the South Okanagan, $319,531 on Vancouver Island (excluding Victoria), $485,459 in Victoria, $444,997 in the rest of the Fraser Valley from Abbotsford to Surrey, and $679,381 in the Greater Vancouver area. Only the Sunshine Coast, the north and the Kootenays are cheaper, so maybe it’s not surprising that 44 per cent of those asked in the 2009 Quality of Life survey responded that housing affordability was the number one reason to move to Chilliwack. The Quality of Life survey data came from 670 questionnaires completed last fall from a random sample of 2,500 Chilliwack households. The Chilliwack Social Research and Planning Council (CSRPC) who initiated the survey is a not-for-profit organization made up of a partnership between the University of the Fraser Valley, the city, Chilliwack Community

o lose a son is devastating, to be a single mother and lose your only child, even more so. But Ramona Gottschalk lost more than that when her son Cody died following a Cultus Lake stabbing in 2008. With Cody’s death, Ramona lost the one person whose humour and compassion would have been able to guide her through such heartbreak. On Monday, the two men charged with killing Cody are scheduled to appear in Chilliwack Supreme Court for the start of the trial. Ramona and the rest of Cody’s family will also be there, as they have been throughout the ordeal. And while the family cannot com-

Two men charged in stabbing death in court Monday ment on the case before the trial begins for legal reasons, they want to remind the public of the life lost that spring day at the lake—even if Ramona finds it hard to put her feelings into words. “There are not enough words in my vocabulary to sum him up,” she said. He was funny and ambitious, exuberant and sensitive. But adjectives just scrape the surface. “He had a good heart. Not too many guys his age would talk about
how beautiful a sunset was,” said Ramona. When Journey—the border collie Cody had received for his sixth birthday—died, Cody had Journey’s name, with pawprints, tattooed over his heart. As a single mother, Ramona— who lived in Richmond—received considerable help raising Cody from her small, tight-knit family. The entire family would regularly gather at the home of Ramona’s sister, Diana Den Duyf, for dinners and games of Pictionary. During

1995 Halloween fright
Worried. It was that simple back in 1995 just before Halloween night as local residents worried about rumours that the murderer of 16-yearold Tanya Smith would strike again. Dubbed the “Abbotsford Killer,” he struck just weeks before Halloween, killing Smith with a baseball bat and seriously wounding her friend Misty Cockerill while they walked home from a party. Terry Driver was eventually found guilty of murder.

is realtor describes Hieu Van Ngo as a businessman. That may be the case but one thing is clear: Ngo leads the pack in the buying and selling of Chilliwack homes that, at one time or another, have been used to grow marijuana. Ngo has bought recently busted grow houses and he has sold a house that would later be used for a growop. He has also owned two homes while marijuana was being cultivated inside. Since the city first enacted its Nuisance, Noxious or Offensive Trades, Health and Safety Bylaw in 2004, more than 200 homes have been found to house grow operations. The list of grow-house owners is a diverse bunch, and just a handful of people appear more than once. But on that list, Ngo’s name comes up again and again and again. Between 2004 and 2006, Ngo bought four homes that, just months earlier, had been busted by police and fallen under the city’s noxious

Hieu Van Ngo owned this Margaret Avenue house from which police seized 780 marijuana plants in March. In the past month Ngo has sold this and two other homes previously used for grow-ops.

One of his properties was bought by Cori Klassen and her husband. When a realtor showed Klassen the house, it became clear that little had been done to spruce it up after police busted the grow operation. “The house was vacant and it was pretty obvious that police had broken the door down. There was writing on the walls downstairs about how many plants and how many
fans,” said Klassen. “All the carpets downstairs had been ripped out and it was just cement. “There was one room [downstairs] where it looked like they had run the irrigation off some pipes so it ran off to the centre of the room.” She is, however, a satisfied customer. At the time, Klassen and her husband were looking for a fixerupper. Five years later, she is happy to have bought the house. “There was no structural damage, no holes in walls, no mould,” she told the Times. Ngo’s realtor, Linda Schellenberg said her client is a self-employed renovator of former grow operations. “It’s like a builder building a house.” Schellenberg said Ngo has been previously accused of being a grower, but was “acquitted.” She refused any further comment. When the Times reached him at his Surrey home Ngo hung up the phone without commenting. Ngo has not always follow the predicted pattern of a property speculator. While he typically bought houses
after they were busted as grow operations, on at least one occasion the pattern reversed itself. Ngo owned a home on Yale Road between July and September of 2004. Less than a year after Ngo sold the house, the new owners, Renee Guigueno and Paul Vanparidon of Agassiz, had to pay up under the noxious trades bylaw, meaning that a drug operation had been found in the house. According to the Times’ study of grow house owners, Ngo temporarily stopped buying former grow operations in Chilliwack in 2006. But after two years away, Ngo reentered the local property market in 2008, this time using a company called Western Sunrise Properties, for he is the sole director. Following Ngo’s typical pattern, Western Sunrise Properties bought a recently busted grow house—a Woodspring Place home that had caught fire because of faulty wiring installed for a grow op. Unlike similar purchases in the past, he didn’t immediately flip the house. In 2009, the company bought two See OWNERSHIP, Page 28

Mounties are crediting an alert resident for helping them catch another breakand-enter suspect. Police received a call just after 2 p.m. on Tuesday from a woman who spotted a suspicious man looking into a house and entering the property’s back yard. The woman provided key details and a description of the suspect to police, who arrived at the house just after the man had walked out the front door with a bag full of stolen items. The 47-year-old suspect was arrested without incident and held in custody to face break-and-enter charges. “The Chilliwack RCMP wish to thank the community members who took quick action to call police in this case,” said RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Lea-Anne Dunlop.

he Chilliwack Board of Education wants to know what you think the new $36 million Rosedale elementary/middle should be called, and they want to know in the next two weeks. Local residents have until Nov. 12 to submit their ideas, and trustees hope to have the school’s new handle in place by the end of next month. “We want to start being able to call it by something other than the new school in Rosedale,” said trustee Doug McKay, who is heading up the task force charged with gathering name ideas and short listing them for the board. The task force kicked off a public campaign this week to get as much community input as possible Information is up on the school district and Rosedale Traditional middle school websites, and Rosedale students will be around town delivering brochures that can be filled out and returned to their school. Name ideas can also be submitted via e-mail. “We believe that we are doing everything we can to make sure that we encourage anyone who wants to make recommendation as to what we might
name this school to get it to us,” said McKay, adding the task force purposely avoided setting criteria for recommendations. All that is required is a name idea and a short rationale. “We’re not making any suggestions about what it should be,” he said. “We’re just sending the invitation out for anyone to provide us with anything that they believe would be appropriate.” The task force—made up of representatives from district and community partner groups like CUPE, the Chilliwack Teachers’ Association, the District Parent Advisory Council, the City of Chilliwack and the aboriginal community—will meet Nov. 18 to go over the names and narrow the field to three or four recommendations for the board to vote on at its Nov. 23 public meeting. While no hard-and-fast rules exist to guide the task force as they sift through the names, McKay said it’s unlikely the school would be named after a person (like G.W. Graham middle-high school was) unless his or her contribution to the community was as “amazing” as former longtime Chilliwack principal, the late G.W. Graham’s was. “Once we get all the suggestions, I have a sense that some will just pop out as being appropriate,” said McKay.

Mr. Museum Ron Denman makes his own kind of history BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com
F
or a quarter of a century, Ron Denman has been in charge of telling Chilliwack’s rich history. On Thursday Denman’s work at the Chilliwack Museum and Archives was honoured, as the museum celebrated 25 years under his supervision and guiding hand. A number of officials, colleagues and past collaborators surprised Denman at the museum to congratulate him on his work. One of those colleagues was Fred Feistman, the chair of the Chilliwack Museum and Historical Society and the man who has proudly overseen Denman’s work for much of the last 15 years. “I think you can say Ron is the museum,” Feistman told the Times. “He’s the one who brought it to where it is now.” Feistman credited the low-key Denman for building relationships w i t h b u s i n e s s e s, n o n - p ro f i t organizations and First Nations groups, along with helping steer the museum towards a number of shining accolades.
“I can’t say enough about Ron,” said Feistman, who singled out the “Brewer’s Gold” exhibit, a history of the hop-picking industry in British Columbia which continues to travel throughout the province. “That’s been one of the pinnacles for what Ron has been pushing.” Feistman credits Denman for getting the most out of his staff and his colleagues, some of whom have tenures as long as his own. Education co-ordinator Brenda Paterson, for instance, was at the library in a part-time capacity when Denman arrived (she will celebrate her own silver anniversary of fulltime employment next spring). She said the last 25 years have been “an amazing journey. Over the years we’ve done some amazing things together as he has with the other staff.” She pointed to the numerous special exhibits and displays, the Chilliwack Story and the Piper James Richardson statue outside the museum as notable triumphs. And she says Denman’s reporter’s eye has come in handy. “He knows how to tell a good story, which is really important because you can have an artifact but you must also know what’s interesting about it,” said Paterson. She continued with the praise: “He’s a very caring person; he’s very creative. He’s always got some new idea.” And for Heritage Collections

Manager Paul Ferguson, who has worked with Denman for 20 years, his colleague’s willingness to dig through the museum’s archives distinguishes him. “He knows the collection. That’s hugely important” Ferguson said. “He still gets his hands dirty and hops in to look through the photographs.” To avoid alerting Denman of the surprise party, the Times didn’t speak to the man of the hour. But according to administrative assistant Alison Anderson, it’s unlikely Denman would have tooted his own horn, even if given the opportunity. “He’s very humble. He doesn’t really like the limelight. He’s not a seeker of that, but [given his 25year anniversary] he accepts that it’s going to happen.”
niversity of the Fraser Valley students want to see improved transit between the Abbotsford and Chilliwack campuses and, to make their point, members of the UFV Students for Sustainability (SFS) and the Student Union Society (SUS) will drive a bus between the campuses on Monday. The SFS and SUS will be presenting a 5,000-plus-person petition to local government leaders. “We are asking our elected leaders if they will commit to work towards better inter-municipal public transportation in the short term so that our communities can develop and grow in a sustainable way,” says petition organizer Daniel van der Kroon in a press release. The two organizations will fill a bus with both community members and students who support having a public transit link between Abbotsford and Chilliwack, drive the bus from the UFV campus in Abbotsford to the north campus in Chilliwack, and then head down Highway 1 to Abbotsford city hall to deliver copies of the petition to government leaders at each location. All local MLAs and municipal councils have been invited to be present to receive the petition, and the event is open to attendance
from the public. Mayor Sharon Gaetz told the Times Thursday she will attend on Monday and she has invited members of council as well. The petition is the result of canvassing the community following the approval by referendum of a Universal Transit Pass at UFV in November 2008 and introduction of the pass in September 2009. During the U-PASS campaign, SFS and the student union heard from students who said that without a link between Abbotsford and Chilliwack, the pass would be almost worthless to them. According to the press release, the petition will add to the chorus of voices emanating from Chilliwack calling for improved public transit following Jennifer Bigham’s citizen’s survey of the local transit system. “These 5,000-plus names, many of them UFV students, are just one more piece of evidence that people need a way to get between Abbotsford and Chilliwack,” van der Kroon said. “We really don’t care if it’s a bus, a train, or a UFO. But there’s enough people driving that route every day that a mass transit option that people know about has to be viable.” ◗ The bus on Monday is scheduled to arrive on the Chilliwack campus at 2 p.m. on Nov. 1 and then leave again at 2:25 p.m. for Abbotsford.

News Police seek driver who struck 14-year-old cyclist
P
olice are looking for a female driver of a grey hybrid vehicle after a Tuesday morning hit-and-run involving a 14-yearold bicyclist. The boy was riding his bike to school on Wiltshire Street at about 8 a.m. when he was struck by the car. He rolled over the hood and landed on his back on the road. Fortunately, he was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident and sustained only
minor injuries. The driver was reported to be a woman about 50 years old with dirty blonde hair. Police also hope to speak to a driver of a green Dodge Caravan who stopped to ask the boy if he was OK and then drove off. Mounties were not called to the scene and want to speak with anyone who may have witnessed the accident. Anyone with information can call the RCMP at 604-792-4611.

Wikipedia’s article on the history of drivers licences identifies the original ‘licence’ as a handwritten note from the Grand Ducal authorities issued to Karl Benz, the inventor of the modern automobile, in 1888 permitting him to operate his car on public roads. Mr. Benz requested the note because of complaints by the citizens of Mannheim about the noise and smell of his ‘Motorwagen’.
rural roads, persecuted motorists. Their solutions ranged from adopting the “French system... of licensing drivers, furnishing them with official cards with the penalty of revoking the licence in addition to a jail sentence for a second or third serious offence” to “[making] the individual personally responsible, the owner Barrister & Solicitor as well as the chauffeur.” One commentator called for educating the motorist, who, it was said, “does not realize the tremendous power he has under him from a thirty to sixty horsepower motor.”
THE ROAD RULES
Cedric Hughes
By the beginning of the 20th century many European countries, the UK, and the United States were all grappling with how to control the growing problem of more cars and more crashes. In the US, Massachusetts and Missouri issued the first drivers’ licences in 1903. Little more than identification cards, they were issued for a small fee without any driving skills examination. As the number of cars and drivers steadily increased, however, skill testing became a prerequisite for licensing. The relationship between driver education and licensing and driver competency has been an ongoing subject of interest and scrutiny from the beginning. On August 18, 1907 under the headline “Better Auto Laws are Now Needed” the New York Times published an article about driver competency that has echoed down to the present time. Prompted by the high number of arrests for speeding “since the opening of the touring season” and the numerous accidents “appalling in their results,” the article surveyed the debate over “what is going to be done about it.” Motoring laws focused on speeding as the “chief point upon which penalties [were] concentrated.” Automobile club spokespersons, while deploring the behaviour of “careless and reckless drivers” protested that speeding laws, especially on
Against this historical backdrop, a recent survey of Alberta drivers with extensive experience by the University of Calgary’s Schulich School of Engineering which found that only 11.4% passed a test modeled after the learner’s permit may be not quite so “shocking” - the word used in summary by the researchers. (Although when questions not directly related to driving and road safety were discounted the pass rate was still only between 22.9% and 38.6%.)? The survey was not without critics. George Jonas writing in the National Post about the survey said: Either “the more Albertans drive, the less they know about the rules of the road” or “something doesn’t add up in the art of surveying or testing. ...Knowledge tests measure mainly how good people are at passing them. Their correlation to safety or performance is far less reliable.” Nevertheless, we are now entering an era where the possession of a driver’s licence will be, more than ever, a skill and behaviour-based privilege.

A truly explosive experience
T
his Sunday, dogs will scramble under chairs as a professional pyrotechnician puts on a fireworks show at Promontory elementary school. But while Fido may cringe at each bang from above, he can count himself lucky he doesn’t frequent fire hydrants in the English city of Salford, where I had the interesting experience of being an exchange student five years ago. Perhaps it was the lingering genetic experience of the Blitz that allowed my roommates to be so non-chalant about the nightly barrage of screeching and banging rocket-propelled explosive devices. Or maybe it was the allnight partying. Whatever it was, they went about their merry ways in the lead-up to Guy Fawkes Day— a Halloweenlike non-holiday commemorating a failed attempt to blow up the Parliament buildings. Meanwhile, I couldn’t sleep because I felt like an under-seige resident of a bad Detroit neighbourhood. I wasn’t exactly surprised at the banging, screeching and whining that pierced the background noise of sirens and soccer commentary (football hooliganism being the number one occupation in Salford, which is the grittier, poorer, dirtier sibling to Manchester, itself one of western
TYLER OLSEN
Win,Lose orTy Europe’s grimiest cities). On one 20-minute walk to the store I saw a 10-year-old boy pretend to be about to stab his friend in front of a mother walking with her young boy, and two more eight-year-olds hurl sticks at passing vehicles. But while the hubbub wasn’t shocking, the absolute laissezfaire attitude to explosives in a country with stricter gun laws than Canada was a tad curious. But as true international students, a fellow Kamloops exchange student and I tried to participate in the celebration first hand. The fireworks weren’t hard to find. In past month before a myriad of fly-by-night operations had suddenly appeared on the shifty block leading up to the college residences. These outlets were empty boxes beside the local corner stores—shops with charming names like Booze and Food and New Zealand Wine. Inside the boxy firework store we chose, the owner quieted the
small children rushing around in order to ask us if we wanted “kids fireworks” or “adult fireworks.” (Bewildered, we chose the latter). The attitude was so lax that you didn’t even need to put your beer down to buy fireworks. (Don’t ask me how I know.) We left, explosives in hand, and headed for a nearby field. Above the red-brick row houses, the sun was going down and the sky was popping white and yellow from the rapid bursts of firecrackers and other projectiles. By the time we arrived at the field, it was dark—all the better for two students who, all evidence to the contrary, were nervous about breaking whatever laws might have existed in this lawless land. We placed one rocket in the wet grass, lit the fuse, and ran back. It shot off like, well, a rocket. Encouraged, we lit the other fireworks, watched our handiwork and returned to our dorms, content in having officially participated in Guy Fawkes Day. The next day we learned that we had actually shot our fireworks off 24 hours too soon. Disappointed, I sat in my room, listening to the explosions and wondering how, exactly, all of England does not burn down each Nov. 5.
s a city that just saw one of its few historical landmarks crumble under the weight of a backhoe’s shovel, Chilliwack can consider itself fortunate that it boasts one of the most dedicated and experienced museum societies and staffs in the country. We congratulate director Ron Denman for his 25 years at the museum and eagerly await the opportunity to do the same for fellow long-time staffers Brenda Paterson and Paul Ferguson. In Western Canada, where the past century has seen a dramatic change in the physical and human landscape, history can often fall prey to development and progress. But there is a reason that all those clichés about the importance of knowing your history exist. They have a grain of truth; knowledge about the past informs our future actions. History doesn’t just foster a sense of pride in our community; it provides a source of community itself. The stories told by Denman and the Chilliwack museum—along with those recounted by the CFB Chilliwack Historical Society—bring life and character to a city that has seen an enormous amount of change over the past few decades. Learning about our community’s history forces us to confront the effects of time on a city. It also creates a sense of ownership and duty in a community. The invaluable work done by the staff at the museum forces us to confront the future by looking to the past. It’s also, frankly, really interesting. Denman and company have done a remarkable job of telling Chilliwack’s story in a way that can appeal to old-timers and youth alike. And they’ve also taken the initiative to branch out onto the Internet, where locals can survey their museum’s collection, and read about their city’s stories, from the comfort of their own homes. For this we give kudos and wish Denman and his team all the best and look forward to another quarter-century of looking back.

Current system simply is working Editor: Re: Unused deterrent, Times, Oct. 26. This article just confirms that the criminal element has absolutely no fear of being punished. Gutless politicians and judges are not coming down hard on these people. The police make a great bust and an hour later they are out. If our government can’t come up with laws and proper deterrents to deal with this, maybe it’s time to get people in office that will actually step up and make a difference. Everybody wants to blame society instead of looking at the real reasons. The plain, simple truth is it’s easy money, while “Joe and Mary Public” pay taxes through the nose, the grow operators pay nothing for the most part. Human nature will take the easy way for the most part if it is there to take. If our laws won’t deal with this, then legalize pot and tax it and use the money to fight the hard drugs and gang issues. I know this may not be the best solution either but the system we have in place now is horribly flawed and corrupt, and isn’t working. D. Saundry Chilliwack
Inmates need our friendship Editor: Chilliwack a “crime-ridden” city. Chilliwack makes “most dangerous” list. These are headlines from Chilliwack’s two weekly newspapers on Oct. 15. These headlines are surreal on two counts. In a peaceful, naturally beautiful, small town yet crime ridden, most dangerous. Especially surrealistic with an abundance of churches whose message is one of justice, care and protection for its citizens. But is enough of the latter actually happening? In the prisons in our perimeter, Agassiz, Abbotsford, Mission, a prison population of some 3,000 inmates, numbers fluctuate, there are still 219 of these wanting friends who are applying for Christian volunteers to visit them. Currently some 300 such friends

Each June, Chilliwack area churches celebrate “Love Chilliwack.” The experience of M2W2 [man to man, woman to woman] is that not only inmates but also CSC staff and Correctional Service Canada wardens heartily welcome the presence of M2W2 volunteers. Mayor Sharon Gaetz reports that “policing costs currently make up the largest part of Chillwack’s budget, nearly one-third of the total.” During a recent chat with a CSC staff person, they referred to CSC as a “prison industry.” Statistics Canada report that the annual cost of one prisoner is $250,000. The “savings” if all these 219 inmates were to develop friendships, go straight, and eventually be released would be a saving of well in excess of $50 million per year. Of course, to equate the human worth in economic terms would be crass indeed. But such relationships would have significant human value in both community safety and personal fulfillment for the M2W2 relationship. As an aside, I would like to share a wonderful story of such a “success” right out of Rowat Avenue, CSC, about a local M2W2 volunteer who befriended a fellow inmate. That individual is now has a full-time job, living at his M2W2 friend’s house and the latter is coaching and encouraging another parole friend to go on a similar path. How is that for a safer, kinder, “Love Chilliwack” story? Mother Teresa says something about caring for one person at a time. And that is everything. This is what
M2W2 has been active at in our area for the last 43 years. So what to conclude? I would say: Fellow Christians step up to the plate and exercise your courage and calling of “salt and light.” Practise the “Love Chilliwack” theme throughout the year, including at the local prisons. Make a difference for a safer, welcoming “Love Chilliwack” community and enhance both your life and the life of a fellow inmate friend. Information to do so is at m2w2.com or ask your pastor or read Matthew 9:37,38. George H. Epp Chilliwack
New dimension to valley life Editor: Re: Need to live within our means (Times, Oct. 26). The siege mentality is already too firmly established in Chilliwack without Mr. Poirier adding to the chorus. I for one am not against the HST (It is a consumption tax—seems fair), and am also not against the gasoline tax (It helps improve the air quality). A town having a low mill rate is nothing particularly to be proud of; it just means that the ratio of public projects to wealth is low. Too many in Chilliwack are unemployed. The best medicine for this malady would be something to create a more bustling economy. Revival of the interurban rail line as an alternative community-connector seems to be a good such step. Adding up the diverse groups benefiting from a light-rail line (college students, shoppers, tour-
ists), you get a new dimension to life in the Valley. At least a few would have work in constructing the thing. If you can get up in the morning with something useful to do, can you complain? Don Buker Rosedale
Careful what you wish for Editor: Rail service to Vancouver? What a lovely idea. I have just looked at the latest study touted by the “Let’s Railroad Chilliwack” crowd. If you ignore the page of potential expenses excluded from the study, for only a billion dollars we can travel by rail to Vancouver for about the same time and money as using the existing Greyhound bus. The level crossings will close every north-south road or highway between here and Vancouver, including Vedder and Evens roads, up to six times an hour for trams each way. That’s 12 times for just under a minute each time. For all you people using Vedder road it could be closed for up to a third of the time. That is why big cities all have subways or elevated trains like Skytrain. A surface tram, at the frequency of the Skytrain, would virtually close down all roads that it crossed. John Elmore Chilliwack
Thanks for pitching in Editor: I would like to extend a big thank you to all the volunteers who participated in the numerous litter clean-ups that have taken place this year, including the recent clean up of fishing line and other trash left behind along the Fraser River shore. While some people may shrug off the problem of litter as insignificant in comparison to other environmental concerns such as climate change, they are missing the point that they both share the same solution: a change of attitude
about our role as citizens in an ecological environment. Simple acts like picking up litter are tangible examples how we can address bigger issues like climate change. Thank you to those who donated their time and energy to cleaning the mess left behind by others. Not only have your efforts reduced the amount of litter that would otherwise cause distress to the wildlife and aquatic life in the natural environment, but your efforts send a message of hope and environmental stewardship to the rest of the community, including what can be done to prevent and reduce litter and how other might help contribute to the health and well-being of the community and the environment. As people, we learn by example, you show that litter is everyone’s responsibility and that together we can make a difference towards a cleaner and healthier environment. Laura Cameron Chilliwack

Part of the solution or part of the problem? BY ROB AYER Crossroads Community Church
S
ome time ago, a tired and defeated friend of mine lamented, “I love Jesus . . .” and he meant it, and he said it with an emphasis on the word “love” that made him sound convincing. Then he continued, “. . .but I’m not so fond of his wife.” He confessed, “I like Christ. I just don’t like Christians.” This guy wasn’t just having a bad day either. This guy hadn’t just experienced some isolated and uncharacteristic suffering at the hands of those who claim to follow Jesus. He’d been a Christian
amongst Christians for a long time. This guy was a pastor. It seems to me that this is an increasingly common refrain in the church. It also seems to me that such thinking (in some circles) has passed as “enlightened” for its transparency—that it has even been commended for its brutal honesty—as if such raw and authentic expression is a virtue more valued than anything else, including the growth and unity of the church. And while generally I welcome such honest confession of feelings and open admission of struggles—this I-love-Jesus-but-not-somuch-the-church sentiment has
also left me with several questions. What does it mean to love Christ but not his church? Is that even possible? Is it sort of like liking our best friend but not liking his spouse? Is that even possible? If the two become one flesh in marriage how can our feelings for one not affect our feelings for the other and then how we would treat both of them? If the church is the bride of Christ then how can our feelings for his wife not affect our feelings for Him and then how we would treat the church and Jesus? Is it possible to love Christ but not his church? I don’t think so. And one of Jesus’ closest disciples
didn’t seem to think so either. The apostle John reminds the church that we ought to love one another because God loves us. When a Christian says, “I get Jesus but I just can’t handle the church,” what is he saying? Isn’t he a member of the church by virtue of being a Christian? Is he saying that he doesn’t like himself? Where’s a mirror when you need one? There’s an old adage: “If you aren’t part of the solution then you’re part of the problem.” Doesn’t this apply here? If you’re a Christian and you’ve walked away from the church then aren’t you part of the problem? If you’re a Christian then the
church needs you and you need the church. You need a community of faith who would work alongside you to explore how God has made you and what He has laid out for you to do. You need a community of faith that will challenge you and encourage you in your journey of knowing God. You need a community of faith that will help you process your wounds (those you suffer and those you inflict) through the power of forgiveness. And the church needs you for the same reasons. !

Sports JB Blue remain unbeaten The JB Blue Giants (7-0-1) took another step toward an undefeated season and secured first place overall with a 20-14 win over the Chilliwack Red Giants in a closely contested game that came down to a final goalline stand. The Red Giants had a late chance to punch the ball into the end zone, but were denied by the Blue Giants offence in the final minute. Thijs Duinveld and Ryan Connolly scored touchdowns for the Red Giants in a losing effort, while Cory Armstrong provided strong inside running and Colton Derouin made a great interception. Tristan Davis led the Red Giants offence, amassing a stunning 229 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries. Mario Brizuela, Hunter Larocque and Tyler Sprott also carried the ball for the Blue Giants. Braydon Winger and Darwin Biamonte led a Blue Giants offensive line that controlled the line of scrimmage and opened great holes for Davis. Blue blanks Peewee Red In the peewee battle for Chilliwack, the Blue Giants defeated the Red Giants 250. The Blue Giants offence, shut out for the three previous weeks, got back on track with three touchdowns from running back Wyatt
Minor Football Uzick and another from Gabe Mannes. A week after posting a decisive 28-0 victory over the Mission 9ers, the Red Giants offence, despite the outstanding efforts of running backs Ayden Harvey, Kobe Poole and Haden Orsachuk, was held off the scoresheet. Passes were caught by Eric VanDerWerff and Noah Dubosoff for big gains but it was still not enough. The final score did not reflect the
strong Red Giants defence. Drive after drive was stopped by a strong defensive line. The Red defence—thanks to strong plays from linebackers Ayden Harvey, Miguel Wood, Kobe Pool, Jonathon Zandberg and Moses Bird-Ortiz—was able to put up a great goal line stand, which stopped the Blues from scoring from within the five-yard line. The game came down to two or three big plays set up by excellent blocks by Blue Giants linemen and backs including Jake Troyan, Emilio Pineda and Ethan Mastin. In addition to his 158-yard day running the ball, Uzick also had eight solo tackles and four assists on defence. On defence the Blue

Despite a valiant final-down attempt at cracking the goal line, the JB Red squad fell to the JB Blue 20-14.
Giants had outstanding performances by Michael Lengert (five tackles) and Emilio Pineda, Spencer Breslin, and Evan McCracken (four tackles each). The win keeps the Blue Giants in 3rd spot and the Red Giants in 4th. Both teams will make the playoffs this year despite coming from the only association in the league that splits their talent into two teams. Big yards not enough Jaylen Edwards rushed for 122 yards and scored two touchdowns but it wasn’t enough as the Chilliwack Atom Blue Giants fell 3612 to the Meadow Ridge Gold Knights Saturday at Townsend Field. Justin Crooks had a spectacular game on both sides of the ball and made great blocks for the running game. Andrew Locke led the defence with five solo tackles and seven assists. “I think we really defeated ourselves,” said head coach Sean Dallas. “ We weren’t taking care of our own assignments. We did come together in the fourth quarter though and need to play like that the whole game.” The Giants now sit at 3-6, with one game left to try and secure the fourth and final playoff position. They must defeat Mission this Saturday to continue to the postseason.

an the beige! That’s the message from designer Genevieve Gorder for doit-yourself home decorators this fall. The star of HGTV’s popular Dear Genevieve makeover show (and the new Battle on the Block), Gorder has been transforming the homes of desperate design-deprived viewers for four seasons. “Everyone seems to live in beige and cream,” Gorder says. “They think that it’s safe and that their homes will have more resale value. But it’s one of the biggest mistakes you can make. Paint is one of the least expensive ways to transform a house, and it’s very easy to change if you don’t like it.” Indeed, this year, grey is Gorder’s new goto neutral. “It’s a great alternative to everyone’s beige,” she says. Here are her top-five tips to get you started on those projects around the house:

Creatures of Halloween
V
ampires, ghosts, witches and frightening fiends are the main characters at today’s Halloween festivities—but the celebration often depicts four creatures that in times past were believed to have dark powers of their own. Black cats, for instance, are traditionally believed to be unlucky and the bad luck this brings was thought to be dire indeed if one crosses your path on Halloween night. The druids (ancient priests) believed certain cats were people who had been turned into evil spirits. In later times all cats were thought to be the familiars of witches. But in ancient Egypt the cat was much-revered as being sacred to the goddess Bastet and those who harmed a cat were sometimes executed. But if cats are allowed to roam free outside in rural areas they earn their keep and perform a great public service by killing rats and mice in great numbers. Country cats have the endearing habit of bringing their prey to a door of their owner’s house and displaying it before squatting down and eating it. Many of Halloween’s favourite creatures have an association with darkness and hidden places. Bats, for
ANNE MARRISON
Green Thumb instance, stay hidden in dark caves, cavities in trees, shadowed corners in barns and other dark places. In times past, people believed bats were evil spirits in disguise and bats are feared by many people, especially since the bites can be very dangerous—a small percentage of bats carry rabies. But bats are also invaluable since they kill enormous numbers of mosquitoes and other insects. Gardeners who hope to attract this valuable predator to their garden sometimes buy and install a bat house. Bats prefer their lair to be high up in heavy shade facing a clear flight path. Halloween’s dark beliefs have also coalesced around owls. In ancient Rome, owls were believed to bring horrible misfortune while in North America, First Nations people thought the owl was a messenger from the dead. Like cats, owls were believed to be unlucky. Like
cats, owls were believed to be evil spirits in disguise—and like cats, owls are efficient predators of rats and mice. Spider webs are a traditional Halloween decoration. Once there was a belief that the future could be revealed in a spider’s web. So many people are afraid of spiders there’s even a word for it: arachnophobia. There was a time when spider webs were used as a healing wrap for wounds. But all spiders should be treated with respect. Though they very seldom bite people, their bites are very painful and some can ulcerate into open sores that last for months. In the garden, spiders are a treasure. Depending on the species, they may be trappers that weave webs, hunters or little jumping spiders. Regardless of their method, as a group, they’re believed to eat more insects than birds do. They’ll eat anything they can catch. This includes aphids, flea beetles, aphids and caterpillars. One good way of increasing a garden’s spider population is to use grass clipping mulches. ◗ Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions. Send them to her via amarrison@shaw.ca.

Window coverings get revved up BY KAREN BLUNDERFIELD Contributing writer
O
ne of the best product innovations we’ve seen recently is motorization for window treatments. From drapes to blinds, sheers to shades, you can add motorization to virtually any style to raise, lower, tilt or draw the window covering. Motorization combines both line-ofsight (using infrared technology) and out-of-sight (using radio frequency technology) control of your window coverings. You can easily adjust the light and privacy for any window, including tall or hard-to-reach areas such as stairwells and great rooms. With motorization you can raise or lower individual units or select a group (or groups) of window coverings to move together, even in multiple rooms. Motorization options There are different options available, including: Battery-operated motorization— easy to install with no additional wiring required. Hard wired motorization—seamlessly integrated with any home automation system. Solar powered motorization—solarpowered motors with no electrical wiring.
Solar sensor option There is also a very useful option that monitors your home’s environment to determine if it is overheating. The sensors are set at a certain temperature and when reached the drapes or blinds will close to block incoming light and heat. This is a great example of where thermal window coverings can be used in the warmer summer months to keep your home cool without the cost of fans or air conditioning—even when you aren’t home. This motorization option requires a hard wire installation. Motorization in action To give an example of how effective motorization is, we recently installed window coverings for a home in Whistler that has 75 windows. Most people immediately think “what a large number of windows to clean,” but in this instance it was what a large number of window coverings to keep opening and closing each day! By adding motorization the owner can manually operate them as desired using a remote control, but they were also able to pre-program a daily open and close sequence that operates whether they’re home or not, increasing their privacy and security. Another good example is a customer who has a large span of windows with a southwest exposure. They wanted some
light to come in for the early part of the day for their plants and pets but needed to block the more intense light that came each afternoon. Adding motorized window coverings allowed them to pre-program a schedule that opened each morning and then closed in the early afternoon. They were able to program a Monday to Friday schedule for when they were at work and then operated their window coverings manually with a remote control on the weekends when they were home. In both instances the homeowners were able to easily control the amount of light entering their homes, protect their furnishings from damage by harmful UV rays, maintain a comfortable environment by keeping their homes cooler in summer, and increase privacy and security even when they were away.

Family Safety As a safety feature, motorization can protect your family by allowing anyone with a physical challenge to independently operate their window coverings without over-reaching. This feature will also eliminate dangling cords, keeping your children and pets safe.

Good fences make . . .
fun days!
T
ime to repair or replace your side of the fence? Follow this advice from the experts at Windsor Plywood and you’ll be “staking your territory” on the way to a beautiful completed project. Before you start your wood fencing project, here are a few tips to help you save time and cost overruns: The hardest part of fence-building is digging the holes; after that, the structure takes shape quickly. Besides a rented posthole digger, you’ll need only a circular saw and basic carpentry tools. Designs vary widely, but just about all fences consist of the same basic elements: A series of posts sunk into the ground connected by top and bottom rails. Before proceeding, check community building and zoning codes. Many specify maximum fence height, distances you can build from property lines and the street, and even the materials you can and can’t use. (Take extra care with pressure-treated lumber. If you are using wood that has been treated with wood preservatives, proper fasteners and hardware must be used.) Call before you dig. It’s important to know what lies underground before digging or using
Save up to onYour
boring equipment. Contact BC One Call at 1-800-474-6886. Once you’ve chosen a design and established a location, stake out and measure the site. Plot your post spacing for the most efficient use of lumber. Six- or seven-foot spans usually work well; never set privacy-fence posts more than eight feet apart. If you are building your fence on a slope, plan to step the fence down the hill, setting each section lower than the one preceding it. Only if the slope is slight, and the fence design won’t suffer, should you follow the contour. ◗ Go to www.windsorplywood.com for a downloadable “Fence Planner.”

Great Pumpkin Cannon!

Estimated Annual Heating Costs (Savings) for a typical 2,500 sq. ft. house. In Vancouver, a 2,500 sq. ft. house with a gas furnace and a COP of 0.85 would spend approximately $1,378 in heating bills in one year. If this same house were equipped with a standard electric heater, one year of heating could cost you an enormous $2,967. Zuba-Central, on the other hand, would only cost about $904. Even though Zuba-Central also uses electricity, it is staggering how much more efficient it actually is. This means you would save $474, or 34%, a year on energy costs over a gas furnace, and $2,063, or 70%, over electric heaters. That’s a potential savings of almost $20,000 in your pocket over 10 years.
Pick a pumpkin, make a donation (requested min. $2/pumpkin please), and watch it fly! All proceeds go to the First Fairfield Scouts and Venturers, who are fundraising for camp activities and equipment.
Start the weekend off with a bang!

Jock scraps into four divisions: Division 1 - Grades 1 and 2; Division 2 – Grades 3 and 4; Division 3 – Grades 5 and 6; and Division 4 – Grade 7 to 9. One-hour practices are broken down into a half-hour skills session and half-hour modified game. Each week will emphasize the teaching of basketball fundamentals. Strikers meet Strikers and tie The Chilliwack 15 Silver Strikers and their counterparts to the west, the Ladner Strikers, lived up to their
name Sunday as the teams played to a hard-fought 3-3 draw. On a wet and windy field, Chilliwack opened the scoring when Makayla Pfeifer set up striker Emily Finley with a lead pass up the right side of the 18. Finley beat the defender and drifted a high shot over the opposing keeper and into the far corner of the net to give the visitors a 1-0 lead. Just 8 minutes later, Finley left-footed a shot into the Ladner goal to put Chilliwack up by two. But Ladner took advantage of a questionable handball call during a scramble inside the 18 which resulted in a penalty kick. Keeper Samantha Chand got a piece of the shot but the ball snuck past to
cut the first half score in half. Chilliwack regained their two-goal cushion from a Taylor Allan blast early in the second half. But just a minute later, Ladner capitalized on another penalty. And with two minutes remaining, a rare Ladner attack resulted tied the game 3-3. X-country finals The elementary school cross country season wrapped up last week at Twin Rinks. Maijken Meindertsma of Yarrow elementary beat out 108 runners in the Grade 3 boys race, she was followed by Scott Anderson of Unsworth in second place and Marley Edwards of East Chilliwack in third place just one second later.

Sports Graham off to good start The G.W. Graham senior boys soccer team began their playoff drive with a win on home turf Tuesday, beating Burnsview secondary from North Delta 1-0 in its first game of the AA Fraser Valley Championships. Grizzlies striker Chris Kim scored the game’s lone goal, pouncing on a breakaway ball from midfielder Gerrid Crowe and hitting the net just inside the right post. “The keeper was in a good position; it was just a good shot,” said G.W. Graham assistant coach Shaun Calver. Despite a couple of other good chances for the Grizzlies, Kim’s was the only goal, and it took a breakaway save by keeper Carson Davies to keep G.W. Graham on top till the final whistle. “We played really well; we were the better of the two teams,” said Calver. The Grizzlies, who finished third in league play this year, took on Archbishop Carney in Port Coquitlam yesterday in the semi-final round of the Fraser Valleys, but no score was available by press time.

High school Controversial first loss Sardis secondary started the AAA Fraser Valley Bosy Soccer Championships with a controversial 2-1 loss to defending provincial champions Dr. Charles Best secondary in Coquitlam Tuesday. After dominating play for the first 25 minutes of the game, Sardis opened the scoring with a hard-won goal 10 minutes into the second half. Striker Justin Stanton poked in a cross put in by Logan Mckeown. Charles Best answered minutes later with the first of two disputed goals. The ball seemed to be out in the corner, but the ref called for play to go on, and Charles Best got a cross away to the top of the Sardis 18-yard box. Keeper Jamie Freeman got a hand on the resulting shot, but it deflected into the right side of the net.
On deck ley and Chilliwack Red atom squads kick off the action at 11 a.m., peewee teams follow at
About five minutes after Charles Best’s first goal, a challenge by Sardis defender Jordan Lam just outside the Sardis 18 resulted in a controversial but successful Charles Best penalty kick that sealed the game. In the ensuing frustration, Sardis midfielders Dillion Herback and Nick Haywood both drew red cards, and their team played the last 10 minutes of the game shorthanded. “In my opinion it was not even close to being a PK,” said Sardis coach Justin Heinze, of Charles Best’s first goal. “I truly believe that Sardis should have won this game. They carried most of the play . . . . It seemed like it was very one-sided refereeing.” Sardis played Panorama Ridge at home yesterday in the second round of the Fraser Valleys, but no score was available by press time. Field hockey crew drops two Chilliwack senior secondary won one and lost two closefought games at the AAA Fraser Valley Girl’s Field Hockey Championships in Cloverdale this week.

But Heritage Woods answered with three goals before the half. They put away one more in the second half before CSS answered again with a goal by Natasha Deslaurier. The final score was 5-2 for Heritage Woods. The Storm’s second game— also on Wednesday—pitted them against division rivals Tamanawis. Unfortunately, two of Chilliwack’s Grade 12 starters, captain Christine Douglas and right wing Shannon Davies, were out with injuries. CSS went up early again on Joleen Burns goal and looked strong, but Tamanawis answered, and then put in the winner with only two minutes left in the game, making the final score 2-1 CSS ended their season on a high note with a 2-1 win over Port Moody yesterday. Lindsay Jonk notched both goals for the Storm. “It was a great game for the seniors to go out on,” said CSS coach Barb Kroeker.

Hope policy is enforced more POLICY, from page 5 said a separate policy would have addressed what she sees as complacency around the issue in schools. “Racism, they don’t take it lightly,” she said. “If you go and call somebody a name for their race, they don’t take it lightly. You get expelled or something, but if somebody goes, ‘You’re gay; you’re a fag,’ they don’t do anything about it. Teachers hear it all the time, and they don’t do anything about it.” Those advocating for a changed harassment policy have been pressing for a standalone policy since the Chilliwack Teachers’ Association and a group of LGBTTQ students made a presentation to the school board almost a year ago. The board, however, has rejected that approach from the start, according to McCabe. “What the board has said repeatedly is we don’t want a policy for gays and lesbians and another policy for this group and another policy for this group,” she said. “The board said [LTBTTQ] concerns are covered in our existing policy.” Trustees expressed that same sentiment before Tuesday’s vote. “As a board we are treating all the students in the school district equally,” said trustee Heather Maahs. Despite some disappointment, LGBTTQ advocates at the meeting saw the policy and especially the administrative regulations that flesh it out for LGBTTQ students as a positive move by the board. “It’s a step, and one stepping stone leads to another stepping stone, and eventually it will be enforced more,” said Seibold.

Family and friends devastated CODY, from page 1 my Omi and Opa.” Den Duyf’s only child, Ashley, was just a year older than Cody. The two only-children developed a close bond, much more like siblings than cousins. Now 23, Ashley Bartyik said Cody “always had everybody else’s best interests at heart.” He was fiercely protective of his older cousin but also sought her approval. When Bartyik had any sort of trouble, he would provide an ear. “He’d just really want to understand me and what I was going through,” she said. Before he died, Cody had grown into a sixfoot-two man. He graduated from high school and coached youth basketball. He worked full days at Rona, bought his dream car with money saved from working long hours after class and played street hockey. And he was planning his future with his girlfriend, Brittany—the pair had met as toddlers, were best friends through adolescence, and became boyfriend-girlfriend in high school. Just two months before his death, Cody joined Brittany and her family at Disneyland, a trip Cody told his family he hoped to repeat in the future. “He was so into life,” said Bartyik. “It didn’t matter if he was waking up early to go to work or waking up early to come help family get dinner ready or to go hang out with his girlfriend or his friends; he was just excited that he was doing it and he made the best of every situation.” Cody was also hoping to follow in the footsteps of Tarmii Miskew, his Big Brother. Miskew and Cody had been paired more than a decade earlier and Cody watched with pride as his big brother succeeded in becoming an RCMP officer. Ramona, Diana and the rest of the closeknit family have established a memorial fund that has donated money to Big Brothers and the SPCA. The fund awards scholarships in Cody’s name for students pursuing a law enforcement career, and this summer it sent nine underpriviliged children to an SPCA summer camp. But the massive hole created by Cody’s death remains. Those Pictionary games are now too painful, the absence of Cody’s voice just too obvious. “He had size 13 shoes, and I miss tripping over them at the front door,” said Den Duyf.
His beloved Omi and Opa are shells of their former selves. “It’s devastated them,” said Ramona. “The last two-and-a-half years, I’ve seen them whither away. They’ve aged at least 10 years in the last two-and a half years.” And his cousin is crushed: “Probably I lost the best thing that was in my life. And I can say that fully, even though your parents raise you. He was the best thing that ever happened to me.” Law enforcement wasn’t Cody’s only career option; his family had long urged him to create a stand-up comedy and after his death, Ramona found notes with ideas for a routine in his belongings. “He was very witty and he always had a comeback,” said Ramona of her son’s sense of humour. “I remember saying to him ‘Cody, you’ve got an answer to everything,’ and he looked at me and said, ‘Mom, that’s because there is an answer to everything.’” Ramona calls the day Cody was born the best day of her life. And she said her son possessed those rare tools of humour and compassion that are dearly missed. “He saw humour in everything. It was nonstop, there was never a dull moment.” Always the centre of attention, Cody remains so, even in death, as conversation inevitably turns to what he may have done, or said. “All we do is talk about Cody when we’re all together,” said Den Duyf. Even gone, his family said, the memory of their lost spark is comforting, even as the hole left by Cody’s death remains a gaping chasm.
QUALITY, from page 1 Services, Fraser Health and the United Way of the Fraser Valley. The study asked questions on a broad range of topics such as home life, neighbourhoods, crime, economy, health, housing and leisure. Mayor Sharon Gaetz said she was not worried cheaper housing might turn Chilliwack into a bedroom community. “We always want to watch that, and one of our goals through CEPCO is to attract businesses to Chilliwack,” she said. “One thing we know is that 13 per cent of people go out of our community for work and of that, 10 per cent go no further than Abbotsford. . . . So what that tells us is that we are being successful in building business in our own community and providing jobs.” The perceived level of housing affordability seems to have been eroded somewhat since when the study was last done in 2004, when 53 per cent of respondents said home prices were the reason they moved to Chilliwack. But despite that result, more of those who have moved to Chilliwack plan on staying. The 2009 numbers report 95 per cent of
OWNERSHIP, from page 3 more homes. But on these, Ngo got ahead of the curve. Through Western Sunrise Properties, Ngo bought homes on Young Road on April 24, 2009, and on Margaret Avenue on May 27, 2009. This March, in the span of just three days, police raided both homes on theft of hydroelectricity warrants. Mounties seized 780 plants and related growing equipment from the Margaret Avenue home. In the Young Road house, they found 1,456 plants. No arrests have been made in either incident. Asked about Ngo, RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Lea-Anne Dunlop said “We always look at homeowners wherever it relates to grows and we do pursue charges whenever there is evidence to support that.” Police have attempted to use the Civil Forfeiture Act, which allows the province to seize property used in the commission of crime, to seize Ngo’s houses. Dunlop couldn’t name Ngo, but did say “there were a number of properties
Here forever? those asked saw themselves staying for the next three to five years. That number was 90 per cent in 2004, and Gaetz was happy about that result. “Something that made me really pleased was that most people in our community see themselves living here forever,” she said. Most people who live in Chilliwack are happy, and 83 per cent said they feel that life is less complicated than in bigger cities. That number is unchanged from 2004. When it comes to quality of life, things seem to have improved over the last four years. Some examples of increases in satisfaction included: water quality from 80 per cent to 92 per cent; Chilliwack as a place to live from 70 per cent to 81 per cent; recycling facilities from 62 per cent to 80 per cent; friendliness of neighbours from 64 per cent to 78 per cent; and parks and playgrounds from 63 per cent to 71 per cent. In coming issues, the Times will take a closer look at other aspects of the 2009 Quality of Life survey including: transit, crime and the rural/urban question.
Out of market restrained through the Civil Forfeiture Act that were released without sufficient evidence to take the property.” With the homes back on the market, an advertisement for the Margaret Avenue home stated: “March 1,2010 Rent-to-owner took possession, March 10,2010, busted. Home has been remediated, just waiting for new occupancy permit.” In late September, the Young Road and Margaret Avenue properties sold within a week of each other. And just two weeks ago, Ngo liquidated his last remaining former grow op—the Woodspring Place property— apparently leaving behind the Chilliwack property market for the second time. ◗ This series concludes in Tuesday’s Times with a look at how the marijuana grow operation industry has changed in the last five years and will feature tips on how to spot grow homes from a man who has lived beside one.

Chilliwack’s own Brook Potter is making musical waves after being shortlisted for the CBC Radio One amateur songwriting contest.
Not short B on talent
BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com rook Potter has been playing guitar for approximately three years, singing for just three months and has written a grand total of three songs. So the fact that this 17-year-old kid has just been shortlisted for a CBC Radio One amateur songwriting competition is nothing short of impressive. “I w a s d e f i n i t e l y e xc i t e d ,” t h e Chilliwack senior secondary Grade 12 student said during an interview at his
“Just to hear my name on the radio was exciting.” Brook Potter parents’ house. “Just to hear my name on the radio was exciting.” Potter’s song “You Make Me Smile” is one of 13 short-listed songs in CBC Radio One’s On The Coast Unplugged contest. He has performed in the family’s church choir alongside his mother, grandmother and grandfather. But he
doesn’t sing in the choir, he plays guitar with his grandfather. “He rocks it,” Brook said of grandpa. But this summer, for the first time ever, he said he decided to try to start using his voice, starting with the repertoire of his hero, Justin Nozuka. And the first time he let anyone hear his voice, he wouldn’t let them watch. “I actually sang for the first time this summer,” he said. “I told my mom and dad they had to turn backwards to listen.” See POTTER, Page 34

Centre of celebration
Top three featured in live performance POTTER, from page 31 Dad Jim said when he heard his son sing he was taken aback. “We were like, ‘how come we only know about this now?’” he said. From there, Brook started to experiment with songwriting. He said his technique is to mess around playing chords, find a melody he likes and then just randomly sing words. “You Make Me Smile,” was one of those creations that Brook describes as about someone that makes you happy. “It’s not about a particular person,” he said. There is one person in his life that definitely makes him smile, his girlfriend Rachel Grange, who herself is a singer and guitar player and entered the competition. Un f o r t u n a t e l y, G r a n g e didn’t make the final cut, something that Brook said he felt really bad about. His mother Darcy turned him onto the competition and he got his song professionally recorded by Rick Genge at Chilliwack’s
Spider Lodge Music School and Recording Studio. Brook said he couldn’t have even been in the competition without Genge, who not only helped him record for the contest, but has tutored him in guitar and encouraged his singing. Aside from the CBC website, if you want to hear Brook perform about the only opportunities are monthly jams at Starbucks downtown or at St. Mary’s Church. Jim and Darcy beam when talking about Brook and his “15 minutes of fame.” “This is the greatest thing for him,” Jim said. “We are so proud.” Brook doesn’t think he’ll actually win the contest, but just being in the top 13 has been a “cool experience.” The top three finalists in OTC Unplugged will get Long & McQuade gift certificates and will play in an all-finalists show at Trees Organic Coffee House in Vancouver. The top three will be featured in a live performance during the show’s broadcast on Nov. 5, with the winner being announced at the end of the

he City of Chilliwack is carrying on the celebration of the new $22 million Chilliwack Cultural Centre. On Nov. 6, everyone is invited to join Mayor Sharon Gaetz and council members for a community celebration and open house at the new centre from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. “The Chilliwack Cultural Centre is a purpose-built facility,” said Gaetz. “It was created so that every citizen has the opportunity to participate and experience the arts, to whatever extent desired.” The community celebration and open house on Nov. 6 is packed full of events and opportunities to help you discover your new cultural centre. Get creative in the craft rooms; get to know the centre by taking part in the children’s scavenger hunt; bring your camera and have your picture taken with the characters from Mother Goose; go for a behind the scenes tour of the Noises Off! set; and work off the cake you ate at a belly dancing demonstration. Don’t forget to enter your name into the
draw to win four tickets to a Mother Goose, The Pantomime show. This Players Guild production is for the whole family and will be appearing at the Cultural Centre from Nov. 24 until Dec. 4. All these activities will be taking place to a live soundtrack provided by the Community Band and other live musical performances. “Chilliwack, this cultural centre belongs to you,” said Gaetz. “Bring your family to the community celebration for a taste of the activities and events that your new facility has to offer. And if you’re still not convinced of the merits of arts and culture, it’s perfectly fine to just come and taste the cake.” The Chilliwack Cultural Centre is a $22-million cultural facility located at 9201 Corbould St. The centre houses two performance venues, an art gallery, meeting rooms and offices. It is also the new home of the Chilliwack Academy of Music and the Chilliwack Community Arts Council. The centre’s main auditorium is a 500-seat proscenium arch theatre with emphasis given to audience comfort and performer support. The other performance venue, Rotary Hall, is a flexible “black box” space with retractable seating for 150 audience members.

How old is your cat or dog? In our house, my kids are always asking about our pet’s age and wondering when their birthdays are. I try to explain to them that our cat Mokie is 8 yrs old but is really “50” and our dog Zoey is 6 years old but is really “48” in human years. My 7yr. old daughter always looks a little puzzled. As you may already know, your cat or dog ages much quicker than a human. By the time they are 7 human years old, they are considered a senior citizen. So, my pets a senior, why should I care? Just as health care needs of humans change as we age, the same applies to our pets. Senior pets are faced with a variety of conditions and diseases, including weight and mobility changes; osteoarthritis; kidney, heart, and liver disease; tumours and cancers; hormone disorders such as diabetes and thyroid imbalance and many others. Can you really make a difference on how long your pet will live and what quality of life they will have in their “golden years? Yes you can. Living in BC, I’m sure you all know the story of the pine beetle and how it could have been contained in the early stages. Now nothing much can be done to take care of the problem. The same holds true for many disease states in our pets. Early detection allows us to prevent or at least or slow down the disease process. Early detection of disease can be very difficult for owners because pets can’t talk to us about their ailments, and they certainly don’t complain as much as we do!
So how can we detect early disease? 1. 2.
A physical exam - veterinarians are trained by way of history taking and examination to detect disease, things that you might not even have noticed. Laboratory testing - blood work gives a comprehensive look at how all the major systems in your pet are functioning.
NOVEMBER is Senior’s month at Cottonwood Veterinary Clinic. Call and talk with our knowledgeable staff regarding your pet’s healthcare needs.
Seeking senior actors

Movies starts at 7 p.m. at the Paramount Theatre. Tickets are $5.
Folk and blues and comedy
Hick Wisdom and the Brokeback Mountain Daredevils are a trio of singer/songwriters as unlikely as they are talented.

Madison McArthur, Gabriel Kirkley and Catrina Lewis star in UFV’s production of the hilarious play A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.
A Funny way to kick off new UFV theatre season
T
he University of The Fraser Valley Theatre will kick-off its 2010/11 season with A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, a wild and crazy musical comedy that won a hatful of Tony awards when it was first presented on the Broadway stage to rave reviews in 1962. With music by Stephen Sondheim and book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart Forum displays all the elements of a true farce: broad, physical comedy, stock comic characters, puns, mistaken identities, and satirical comments on social class. It tells the story of a Roman slave named Pseudolus and his attempts to win his freedom by helping his young master woo the girl next door. It’s funny alright and filled with great song and dance numbers. It’s live theatre at its best: the ultimate in 3D entertainment! A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is directed by Ian Fenwick, long time faculty director who recently directed the department’s hit production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Musical direction for this production is by Nicola Davies with vocal coaching by Paula Quick and choreography by Shelly Wojick. Casting is as follows: the role of Pseudolus, the slave, will be played by Stephen Wilhite who recently played Bottom in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. His master, Hero, will be played
by Eli Funk and the role of Phylia, Hero’s love interest, will be played by Caroline Davies. Joe Poulton makes his debut for the department as Erronius and Jim Servizi is Senex; Gabriel Kirkley plays Miles Gloriosus, Tim Howe is Lycus and Laurie James has the role of Domina. Other performers include: Dylan Coulter, Kyra Easau, Nial Harrison-Morry, Catrina Lewis, Madison McArthur, Emma Roberts, Ali Shewan ,Thomas Smith, JoshTompke and Cassandra Tracy. Set design is by Astrid Beugeling with costume design by Heather Westergard and lighting design by Evan Hutchinson. Stage manager is Cait Archer. ! A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum opens Nov. 12 in the theatre on the Chilliwack campus on Yale Rd. and runs Nov. 13, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 27, at 7:30 p.m. with two reduced rate previews Nov. 10 and 11 and matinees Nov. 16 and Nov. 24 at noon, and Nov. 21 and 28 at 2 p.m. Ticket prices range between $10 to$20. Special-priced Flexi Season tickets that include all three productions of our upcoming season: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Girl in the Goldfish Bowl and The Tempest, are also now on sale. For information and reservations call 604795-2814 or e-mail theatre@ufv.ca. Visit www. ufv.ca/theatre for further information on all aspects of the theatre department’s program and season at.

We are sad to announce the death of (Sarah) Mary Tyson on October 23rd. Family was first and foremost for Mary; she was a dedicated wife to Tom for 56 years and loved her children, Julie and husband, Gord Halfnights, and Marshall and his wife, Patty Tyson and her grandchildren, Kristen Wicks (Chris), Ryan Halfnights, Jody McGarva (Jamie), Carly Tyson and Mark Halfnights with passion and pride. Aiden Wicks, her great-grandson, was a source of joy to her the past two years. Mary was a devoted daughter providing, with Tom, many years of care to her mother, Grandma Kendall. She leaves a family instilled with the values of volunteerism, athleticism, hard work, common sense and the ability to see and express the humour in any situation. Mary had her family around her in her last days and died comfortably after several years with dementia. She was born on February 13, 1924 in England and immigrated to Canada with Tom in 1955, settling in Chilliwack, her home until Saturday. Mary was very bright and creative; channelling her talents into her garden, knitting and sewing. Though she was a shadow of her former self in recent years, Mary was a driving force behind many agencies and projects in Chilliwack, among them, the Hospital Auxiliary, the 1967 Centennial celebrations, the Community Arts Council, Community Services, the Cheam Skating Club and St Thomas Church. A service to commemorate her life will be held at St Thomas Church in Chilliwack on November 13th at 11am. No flowers please, donations may be made to Chilliwack Community Services.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Deception (selfdeception?) or indecision invade your creative and romantic spheres Sunday – find certainty, comfort in work Monday/Tuesday. (Careful with tools, electricity Tuesday eve.) Relationships receive a lucky boost Wednesday/Thursday. Sexual drive propels an attraction; research tidbits, hunches or money intuition propel a business proposition. But you could worry about these very things Friday. Don’t – they’ll “help” you again Saturday. All week, don’t suspect friends. Dig deep, seek golden keys, embrace a solid, planned future. Sex is loaded with pregnant possibilities. Taurus April 20-May 20: Rest Sunday, be in nature (golf, etc.) or putter around the house. Suddenly, this night, beauty steals over things. Romance, creativity, pleasure, a winning streak enter Monday/Tuesday – this, and a strong relationship theme, and a potent sexual urge, combine to create obvious possibilities! (Don’t leave it until Tuesday p.m., though, as sudden attractions/sudden splits occur.) Tackle chores Wednesday/Thursday. A powerful relationship or relocation theme enters again Friday/Saturday. Yes, a thread of worry or indecision winds through this, but the general prospect is very favourable! Gemini May 21-June 20: You face several weeks of work and health concerns. Well, plunge in, as nothing else will succeed very much anyway. A minor, sixweek trend has just started, intensifying relationships. This will bring either anger and argument, or a new friend, perhaps lively love prospects. To some degree this depends on you and your attitude; but fate has a wee hand here, too: any new relationship (or fight) might be intended to “blow out” old attitudes and lingering links. Happiness isn’t easy – though it will be in 2011. Rest early week, seek beauty midweek. Tackle work Friday/Saturday.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Romance, charming kids, beauty, pleasure, a gambling mood, creative urges – these flow through your days this week. Friday/Saturday could start a love affair. Indulge yourself. A chore grows larger now through early December – that’s OK, it carries strong career vibes. This is an excellent time to seek employment or purchase machinery. Something or someone will return soon on the domestic, home front – a wandering parent, child, or a real estate opportunity. It’s lucky, affectionate. (Hints Wednesday/Thursday, the “reality” next week onward.) “Home” can help a romance. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: You’ll attract attention Sunday, but you’re unsure of the “giver.” Chase money Monday/Tuesday (careful with spending Tuesday eve/night). Communications, paperwork, details, errands fill Wednesday/Thursday. You could casually meet someone sexy, or your curiosity could lead to a lucky financial revelation, investment. The financial is probably better than the sexy. (The sexy might have a short life span.) All week, especially Friday/Saturday, your home, security, children, real estate and related matters are important – you can make major strides, lucky changes, realty investments. Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: This week and the next two emphasize errands, travel, communications, emails, details, casual friends, light romance. But a deeper trend, to early December, might spark friction at home, or you might grow fascinated by the urge to purchase real estate, mostly as an investment; you might begin or end a lust-based link. The pot of your security is being stirred, and you might be surprised by the stew that results by December. So be cautious, honest; proceed, but thoughtfully. You and your skills shine Monday/Tuesday – start things, get your way. Money luck Thursday! Travel Saturday.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: November emphasizes money, buying/selling, earnings, possessions, memory and sensual or casual intimacy (especially Friday/Saturday: avoid illusion, welcome high-tech). Sunday’s friendly – but don’t presume an attractive person reciprocates. Retreat, rest, this eve through Tuesday – all’s well, though you might be frustrated by a last-minute glitch or chore Tuesday p.m. Your energy, charisma and effectiveness rise Wednesday/ Thursday – start things, seek attention, woo someone (in love or business) especially Thursday daytime! All month, you might meet a mate while travelling, talking. Scorpio Oct.23-Nov.21:Your status,prestige,career prospects are in question Sunday, and considering everything, the answer should be good! Your hopes, popularity and happiness rise Monday/Tuesday. But that one you’re looking at Tuesday eve won’t be a good “home mate.” (Of course, if it’s your spouse, I’ll shut up.) Retreat, rest, contemplate and plan mid-week. You could make a very lucky contact, application or agreement Thursday, involving a government agency, institution or large company. (At the very least, lucky plans form.) Your energy and charisma soar Friday/ Saturday: start something major! Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Remain low-profile. Rest, contemplate, plan, deal with government agencies, large corporations and institutions. Study your life, and decide on big steps to change it where it needs changing. Remember, the decade ahead is your opportunity to erect an “earnings castle.” That means build now for higher earnings: train, choose a field, etc. All week, meditate, connect with spiritual realms, be charitable. Your career, ambitions are prominent Monday/Tuesday. The future you spy/chase/plan for Thursday is a lucky, gratifying one! Delve into that retire, contemplate and plan stuff Friday/Saturday.

Oct. 31 - Nov. 6 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: New hopes and goals will slowly roll toward you for more than a decade ahead. One is forming this November. (It might have started in October; if so, it will “flesh out” now.) This new goal comes from deep within, emerges from a) your subconscious, or b) events that don’t seem logical on the surface. Your home becomes an “active retreat” until early December. Make new friends now, join organizations. (Try “meetup.com.”) Sunday’s for secrets. Wisdom, gentle love come Monday/Tuesday. Midweek, ambition has lucky results! Seek friends, fun, flirtation Friday/Saturday. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Be ambitious. Your place in the world has an almost imperceptible but fortunate upward lift now (and will into January). Relations with bosses, VIPs and parents are fruitful – show respect, hold up your end, put forth plans, proposals, insights – show off your skills. If you’re a civil servant, make your push/bid Wednesday; if an intellectual worker, Thursday; otherwise, push (or begin a project) Friday/ Saturday. Relationships Sunday: you puzzle someone. Mysteries, lust, research, finances Monday/Tuesday. Gentle love, understanding come Wednesday and sweetly, luckily Thursday! Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Gentle love, compassion, a broader understanding and a mellow mood flow through November. You might fall in love Friday/ Saturday, when these mellow qualities are emphasized. Write, broadcast. Tackle chores Sunday. Relationships flower Monday/Tuesday – though they could be a little abrupt, unpredictable Tuesday p.m. Mysteries arrive Wednesday/Thursday: great opportunity lies here, in intimacy, financial spheres, and “detective work.” Thursday’s investment or “life change” could pay off splendidly over time! Bosses, parents are touchy, impatient all November, so be diplomatic. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
