Board puts Christ back in Christmas

BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

hilliwack school trustees stirred up controversy at Tuesday’s board meeting when they unanimously passed a motion to call the school vacation in December the Christmas holidays. The break is currently referred to as the winter vacation on the school district calendar, but trustee Martha Wiens said that’s not what the holiday is about.

School board takes a ‘walk on the wild side’ as it decides to call holiday break what it really is

“We’re not having a holiday because it’s winter,” she said. “We are having a holiday because it’s Christmas, so why not just say what it is.” The school district has used the religiously neutral “winter vacation” because that is what’s used on the ministry of education calendar, according to superintendent Cor-

rine McCabe, but it was unclear at the meeting whether that meant the district was legally required to use the name for the break. Trustee Heather Maahs, who introduced the motion, favoured changing the name first and asking questions later. “I say let’s take a walk on the wild side and unless the legislation says

we’re not allowed to call it Christmas, let’s call it Christmas,” she said. Trustee Doug McKay said he personally preferred to call the break Christmas, but added his vote only after expressing reservations about the inclusiveness of the name. “Christmas is a Christian holiday,” he said, “and we are more

than just a Christian school district. We are a public school district and provide education for all religions and groups.” As for the legal implications, McKay said the board would know soon enough if it had taken a misstep. “There will be people out there that will very quickly share with us that we cannot do it,” he said. Those people were close at hand. Before the end of the meeting, See CHRISTMAS, Page 5

Mo-better awareness BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

he moustache: Very few men can pull it off and very few should even try. But this month a brave group of 18 Chilliwack men—joined by one “Mo Sista”—have teamed up to fuzzify their philtrums to raise money for a good cause. In 2003, a group of Australian men decided to bring back the moustache to bring awareness to prostate cancer. Movember was born and in the 11th month of the year the moustache has become the ribbon for men’s health. David Munro, who works with CEPCO, is the captain of the Mo Squares, a group of 18 local men and one woman taking part in Movember. Despite the possible risk to relationships, there are quite a few moustaches growing all over town. There’s a hotel manager, a school district employee, some radio station guys, a coffee shop manager, a real estate agent, an FVRD planner, the president

The 19-year-old Fraser Valley woman was the lone occupant of a late ’90s Honda Civic that crashed around 8:30 a.m. Mounties say the woman was driving eastbound, in the righthand lane, around 8:30 a.m. just east of Annis EB IRST Road when s h e l o s t First reported on control of chilliwacktimes.com her car, left the road and hit a large sign. The woman, whose name hasn’t been released, died at the scene. “Weather and the lack of snow tires appear to be contributing factors,” said RCMP spokesperson Sgt. Peter Thiessen in a news release. Thiessen said that drivers should have at least two, and preferably four, snow tires on their vehicle during the winter months.

Parenting in the cyber-age means getting up to speed BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

ith this month’s arrest of a 14-year-old Chilliwack girl accused of selling sex on Craigslist and recruiting other under-aged girls to do the same, it’s seems like perfect timing for Mt. Slesse middle school to host a presentation on parenting in a Internet age. But parents panicked about their teens being lured into sex acts by online predators or pimps may be misdirecting their concern, according to Merlyn Horton, executive director of the Safe Online Outreach Society (SOLOS). Horton is in town Monday night to facilitate Mt. Slesse’s Parenting in a Cyber-Age, a presentation designed to equip parents with Internet literacy and safety information. One of the misconceptions she’ll be dealing with is the idea that online sexual exploitation is about middleaged men posing as young people and luring kids out of their homes.

She cites an extensive U.S. survey on the topic that found the number of such cases is actually statistically insignificant when compared to other kinds of online sexual exploitation. While the case of the Chilliwack 14-year-old shows sex with teens is being arranged via the Internet, Horton said the teens exploited in that way tend to be the same ones who fall prey to sexual exploitation offline. “Kids who are going home to milk and cookies every night and going to soccer practice three times a week are not going online and trying to meet up with somebody to have sex,” said Horton, who spent 15 years working with high-risk, streetentrenched and sexually exploited youth before working with SOLOS. Marginalized and disenfranchised youth are the most likely targets online, according to Horton. “If [they’re] not getting any acceptance anywhere in their life, if they’re in conflict at home or with the school and someone online offers them a magic answer, they’re likely to take it,” said Horton. Contrary to popular stereotypes, predators that lure these youths are often upfront about their age and sexual intentions. “It’s a seduction online that mirrors a physical seduction but at the same time it has extra elements like disinhibition and young people’s

inability to assess risk amplified by that distance that’s perceived through the computer,” she said. Teens might go along with an arrangement to meet offline to have sex as a lark, said Horton, because the online environment allows them to romanticize the encounter. “There’s this romantic notion of what it’s going to be until that first trick goes,” she said. “There’s not much room for romantic notions after the first two or three times.” Kids who are questioning their sexual identity are particularly vulnerable online, according to Horton, and she has the following advice for their parents: “Make sure it’s OK for your questioning or your queer youth to find somebody in their own community that they can talk to that’s a positive role model instead of seeking out that connection in an online

Through her work at SOLOS, however, she hopes to equip outreach workers and educators with the tools they need to reach these youth where they are. “You have to get on board and up to speed about what all this online stuff is because this is where your highest risk kids are experiencing their risk,” she said. ◗ The Parenting in a Cyber-Age presentation takes place Monday, Nov. 29 at 7 p.m. in the Mt.

Bickering over semantics

t’s that time of year. The snow is falling, there’s a chill in the air and the stores are filling up. Yep, it’s about time to start bickering over what to call this season. Every year we talk about it. Every. Single. Year. Score one for the terrorists. Now the school district has waded into the debate by passing a motion to call the school vacation the Christmas holidays. Thanks, folks. Now I can sleep easy. I’m getting a migraine just writing this. And as Christmas approaches and I continue to procrastinate entering the stores, it’s just bound to get worse. It doesn’t help when trustee Martha Wiens says “We’re not having a holiday because it’s winter. We are having a holiday because it’s Christmas . . .” Well yes, you’re having a holiday because it’s Christmas. But you’re having a “vacation”— rather than a mere holiday like Easter—because everybody is burned out and because contracts stipulate a two-week break and because families like to book vacations to tropical locations

TYLER OLSEN

Win,Lose orTy to escape the cold and because Charles Dickens wrote a novel that popularized Christmas as a secular holiday for which families gathered and drank. You’re having a vacation for a number of reasons. Christmas is the centrepiece, but it’s just part of a larger holiday. And let’s forget this whole, “we’re rebellious because we’re calling it Christmas” schtick. Baloney. If this column were to praise the school board’s decision, I would expect to receive a couple e-mails thanking me for my kind words. With this column—and note that I’m not saying we shouldn’t call it Christmas, rather I’m saying that we should stop getting hysterical over what others call it—I expect to be heavily criticized and derided.

So be it. I really don’t care if the school board calls their vacation a Christmas vacation or whether it’s called winter vacation. I’ll be celebrating three separate Christmases this December and none will call it “Holiday GiftGiving and Turkey-Eating Extravaganza 2010.” Secular activists who think that their cause will be helped by removing “Christmas” from long-established annual events are deluded. It only stirs up animosity. But the same goes for the school board. Changing the name to “Christmas vacation” isn’t striking a blow for the repressed Christians. It’s just sparking controversy. Either they are blindly oblivious, or they’re shameful grandstanders. Neither reflects favourably on them. I’m all in favour of discussing religion’s role in society, but that’s not what we’re talking about here. We’re bickering about semantics, not beliefs. So get over it. Call it Christmas, or don’t. But don’t play the martyr at Christmas time. It’s unseemly.

e thought it would be a bit better this year. And, for many, things are a darn sight better than they were two years ago. But the economy is on a slow climb, and for many folks the bounce back is just not fast enough or big enough. Combine that with a continuing high child poverty rate, and many groups and families are finding it hard to make ends meet. There’s been a lot of belt tightening. The hardest hit, of course, are those who had already reached the last notch on the belt—those who have no more room to cut in their budgets. And as the calendar continues to roll on and the holiday season is fast approaching, we’re certain there are many folks out there wondering how they’ll get through it. In Chilliwack, there are many organizations that step in to help throughout the year. Toy donations, hot meals, warm jackets, blanket drives, comfort for the critters and more: these groups provide holiday cheer in many ways. But here’s the tricky part: They rely on the public to be able to carry out their missions. With so much “belt-tightening” going on, we hope that those who are able to —and most of us are still able to—will continue to lend support to these groups. Yes, it’s been a tough year—but leave a little room in your own belt for those who most need a bright spot to look forward to this coming Christmas season.

You do the crime, you do the time

Editor: I am dismayed that advocacy groups wish the charges dropped against the 14-yearold girl that was recruiting other teens into the sex trade. You do the crime, you do the time. Are we not supposed to be an egalitarian society? What is so shocking about teen crime? Why is it more shocking? Because she’s female? We have a very sick society indeed when “girls can do no wrong,” regardless of their actions. Why does equality come with the restrictions: “You can do what you want and you can never be held responsible?” The statement that “It’s always a man” is indicative of the total misandry in the system and mindset of the public that people are totally blind to the fact that females can actually, gasp, commit crimes. They want the law thrown out the window based on gender. Sexism works both ways, but it seems oh so alright when it benefits the criminal in this case. Gregg van der Sluys Rosedale

Thank you for Christmas break Editor: Congratulations to the Chilliwack school trustees who had the commonsense and moral fortitude to call the Christmas break what it is. I write in response to the statements made by Kirsten Brandreth regarding the “inclusiveness,” or lack thereof, of the Chilliwack school board’s recent decision to recognize the Christmas holiday for what it is. As a parent of four, a proud Canadian and someone who holds commonsense in high regard I was disappointed, but not surprised, by the comments Mrs. Brandreth made regarding the Christmas holiday. The argument that by somehow upholding our Canadian (and yes, Christian . . . gasp . . . moan) heritage and traditions is somehow “insensitive” and “going backwards” is absurd and devoid of logic and common sense. By this logic we would strip away our nationality,

The inference, under the guise of political correctness and accommodation, is that we should really be ashamed of Canada, our nationality, our cultural background and do our utmost to fade into the background under the fallacious reasoning that by doing so others will be less offended. Who, exactly, these offended masses are was not given. I suspect that they exist only in the minds of those who espouse political correctness and rampant liberalism as their ideology and belief system. What nonsense! I hold dual citizenship as a Canadian and British citizen. Were I to move to England or any other EU country I would not have the audacity to expect that these countries cease and desist in their cultural histories and celebrations. By this circular logic we would stop St. Jean Baptiste day in Quebec. Would Mrs. Brandreth suppose that were she to move to any Arab country she should expect the celebration of Ramadan to cease? Would she expect Hanukkah to no longer be celebrated in Israel were Mrs. Brandreth to emigrate there? If others are truly offended by Canadian values and heritage that is their choice. Asking Canadians to quietly disappear as a culture and nationality is quite something else. The vast majority of Canadians celebrate Christmas and have done so for over 200 years. Political correctness has run its brief course in history. Merry Christmas and enjoy the Christmas holiday. Chris Walford Chilliwack

It’s a proud part of our culture Editor: Re: Let’s just call it Christmas, school board says. If Ms. Midzain, president of the Chillliwack Teacher’s Association believes it’s a step backward to call Christmas, Christmas, perhaps we should do away with it altogether because that is what the holiday is for. Dec. 25 is a paid, statutory holiday and is on all calendars. She receives a paid holiday because of the celebration of Christ’s birth. It is part of Canada’s history and culture. We welcome people of all cultures except it seems part of our own. Will we require that Hanukkah, Ramadan, Diwali, et al be changed to “happy holiday”? Evidence shows that other cultures are joining in with the celebration of Christmas for the happiness it brings, lights, trees, decorations, music, good food and drink, they still retain their own religious beliefs. Isn’t that what multiculturalism is all about, joining all cultures together and not excluding any? Merry Christmas. Cherryl Katnich Maple Ridge

Strahl has been supportive Editor: Re: “No-show MP Chuck Strahl” – W. Ross Beebe CD1. I was grieved upon reading W. Ross Beebe CD1’s interpretation and reaction towards MP Chuck Strahl’s seemingly unexcused absence at the Nov. 6 veterans rally. Beebe concluded

Your Local Security Experts

Sales & Service 24 Hour Monitoring

that Strahl “has showed his true colours . . .”, “demonstrated a complete lack of respect to the veteran community in Chilliwack and across this great nation as well” and that it was “a disgrace.” The reader is left wondering: “what are his ‘true colours’? Do these ‘true colours’ now make him unfit as an MP?” Surely not! Most people would agree that Strahl’s absence was regrettable but to then make a judgment call on his ability as an MP and government official is, I believe, going a bit too far. To properly and fairly examine the situation there are a few essential questions we must first ask. Did the organizers of the rally confirm with Strahl himself that he was available, or did they assume that he would be there? What arrangements were made? Strahl could not have made it to this rally if he had other plans or arrangments. It is unclear what Strahl’s reason for absence was; one paper described it as an excuse but could there have been a valid reason? The reader is left in the proverbial “dark.” If either of these two scenarios were the case than the whole situation would be nothing more than a simple misunderstanding. Beebe also states, in disgust, that Strahl “is the minister of transport, infrastructure and communities” but “did not even have the courtesy to meet and engage with veterans about their concerns and issues.” It is clear that Beebe has not read the description for the position of “minister of transport, infrastructure and communities.” It is clearly stated on their website: www.tc.gc.ca/eng/aboutusabouttic.htm The fact that Strahl represents veterans in Parliament, on the other hand, was an important reason for Strahl’s attendance and I believe Beebe was right in asking, “What could be more important to an elected official than listening to the constituents you represent?” Perhaps it is time we ask ourselves that question. If we do, I believe we will find that there are many important and pressing matters in

an MP’s life besides “listening to the constituents you [they] represent.” An explanation of the role of a Canadian MP can be found at www2.parl.gc.ca/sites/lop/ aboutparliament/guidehousecommons/member_ parl-e.asp. Finally, I would like to point out that Strahl was first elected to Parliament in 1993 and has been re-elected in every election since. That is 17 years of faithful service to the Fraser Valley. The community clearly has a great deal of confidence in his ability to lead and represent them. Is he qualified yet? Grace Robertson Chilliwack

Should we be in Afghanistan? Editor: The Conservatives latest decision to deploy our forces in a training mission is probably a result of NATO arm twisting, and maybe even our own defence department pressuring government for a role in which it can justify its budget and personnel numbers. However, its weapons purchasing/spending surely deserves better planning. What really doesn’t make sense is that our defence department has acquired a new fleet of helicopters for combat missions in Afghanistan and, at this writing, refuses to provide details about how much the deal cost taxpayers. Previous news releases predicted this cost would be about $6 billion. We have already committed ourselves to spending more than $9 billion for new F-35 fighter jets, a purchase which is highly questionable since we are now in an Afghan training role. OK, our Air Force could use these for patrolling our northern regions but are we getting the best buy for our buck? There’s an innovation that is, and has been, used by the U.S. Air Force and Army that I believe is the future of combat military aviation. It’s called Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) and has See LETTERS, Page 24

Bruins blanked by Cougars

Soudek’s return fails to spark club that has lost seven of last nine games

out the Bruins 4-0 in front of 2,467 fans at Prospera Centre. The loss was Chilliwack’s seventh in nine games and dropped them into a tie for last place in the WHL’s ultracompetitive Western Conference. (Things are so tight, though, that they are just four points back of the second-place Vancouver Giants.) T h e B r u i n s c o u l d n’t s c o r e Wednesday, despite the return of Robin Soudek, who was back skating in his familiar spot on the first line alongside Roman Horak and Ryan Howse.

taken off the ice from a stretcher. Vannieuwenhuizen, meanwhile, was handed a seven-game suspension. But neither Soudek, Howse nor Horak could beat Cougar netminder James Priestner, who made 28 saves for his first shutout of the season. And so when Greg Fraser scored for the Cougars 13 minutes into the first period, he also notched the game winning goal. Spencer Asuchak extended Prince George’s lead three-plus minutes later.

While the Bruins couldn’t muster a response in the second period, the Cougars had no such trouble, adding two more goals to the scoresheet, both assisted by Brett Connolly, the Tampa Bay Lightning first-round draft pick.

Pilton brought up to aid defence With injuries having ravaged the Bruins’ defence, Chilliwack called up 2009 second-round draft pick Kade Pilton for his first Western Hockey League game. The six-foot-four defenceman has been playing for the Castlegar Rebels of the Junior B Kootenay I n t e r n a t i o n a l Ju n i o r Ho c k e y League.

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.

Simmons found guilty of assault causing bodily harm BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

third Chilliwack man involved in the fight that led to the death of Cody Gottschalk in 2008 at Cultus Lake has been convicted of assault causing bodily harm in Supreme Court Wednesday. Nathan Simmons, 24, was not involved in Gottschalk’s death, but Justice Terence Schultes found him guilty of choking one of Gottschalk’s friends, Chris McCrae, to the point of unconsciousness and holding him down while another man kicked him in the head. The charge against Simmons stems from the same incident. During his three-day trial last week, Simmons said that he acted in self-defence and only after being punched. But in handing down his decision, Schultes said he didn’t believe Simmons, especially when he said that he didn’t pay much attention to the increasingly tense standoff between his friends, Adam Phillips and Justin Lennard, and three young Richmond men, including McCrae and Gottschalk. “I characterize this position as an effort to distance himself from what seems obvious in the evidence,” said Schultes. Three witnesses all testified that they saw Simmons swinging a backpack at McCrae and

choking him. And while there were discrepancies in their respective testimonies, the judge said all clearly witnessed the same event. Simmons had testified that had he seen a fight was imminent, he would have left the scene. But Schultes said that statement “rang hollow” and found it unlikely that he would have abandoned his two friends to square off, outnumbered, against the Richmond men. One of the witnesses also said that Simmons only stopped choking McCrae when an observing park ranger yelled “Stop! You’re going to kill him.” Schultes said that it was unclear why a warning would have been needed if indeed Simmons was only trying to protect himself. Having dismissed Simmons’s claim of selfdefence, Schultes convicted him of assault and turned his attention to the matter of whether bodily harm was caused. He said it was, because McCrae neck was stiff and sore for more than a month after the attack. But he also found Simmons partly responsible for his friend’s kicks to McCrae’s head and ribs. Last week Schultes had heard from three witnesses who said they saw Simmons holding McCrae in place for his friend to kick him. One witness said that his friends seemed to be “lining up the perfect place kick.” Sentencing will take place next week. Earlier this month, Adam Phillips and Justin Lennard pled guilty to manslaughter and aggravated assault. Phillips also pled to a charge of assault causing bodily harm. The media was banned from identifying Simmons because he was scheduled trial at a later date.

Memories of life at the O Paramount

BY RICHARD BELLAVANCE Mountain View Church n Wednesday, Nov. 3, the Paramount Theatre closed its doors for the last time. I had a pretty good feeling that day was coming since a newer and bigger theatre is opening

up, but it still came as a surprise to me to hear those final words after 61 years: “we are closed.” You see for me it still hurt because I personally invested sweat, blood and tears into that place for 11 years (from 1996 to 2007) as manager. I have some great memories such as playing Titanic for six

Flames force out family of five

Fire took hold in bedroom BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

A family of five was forced out of

their Nowell Street home after a fire broke out early Thursday morning. Fire officials were alerted to the blaze at an apartment complex in the 9000 block of Nowell Street around 5:30 a.m. Thursday. The fire took hold of a bedroom wall, but was quickly snuffed out. Damage was contained to a bedroom wall. The two adults and

three children are being housed by Emergency Social Services until they can return home. All of the other residents have returned home. The cause of the fire is still under investigation but assistant fire chief Jeff Ullyot said initial indications are that it may have been started by smoking materials.

Candle use discouraged Neither Thursday’s Nowell Street fire nor Wednesday’s apartment blaze on Williams Street can be tied to the weather. Despite that, Ullyot said that the incidences of fire typically rise during cold snaps and extreme weather. Ullyot said that people should refrain from lighting candles dur-

ing power outages and should instead use flashlights or another type of battery-operated emergency lighting system. With Christmas approaching, any natural trees should be kept watered and green. LED lights are preferred because, in addition to using less energy, they put out much less heat.

Wheelchair thief gets 18 months Entered home with occupants sleeping

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

prolific offender was sentenced in Chilliwack provincial court last Tuesday to 18 months in jail for a pair of breakand-enters, including one in which he stole a wheelchair from a disabled woman. Christopher Yep, 27, pleaded guilty to three seperate counts of theft, two counts of break-and-enter, one count of carr ying a concealed weapon, and one count of

using a forged document. One of the theft charges date back to last December, but the bulk stem from Yep’s arrest in September following a pair of break-andenters in which he entered homes on Bellevue Drive and Maple Avenue while the occupants were sleeping. In both cases he stole keys from the homes and made a getaway in the occupants’ vehicles. The Bellevue Drive home was occupied by a police officer, while the Maple Avenue was the home of a disabled woman. Yep stole the woman’s wheelchair along with the modified car she used to get around. Yep has a long criminal record dating back to 2003, when he was charged with theft over $5,000 and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.

World’s deadliest mushrooms show up in Chilliwack BY LAURA BAZIUK The Province

ungus fans should be on the lookout for the death cap mushroom, found recently in Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. The mushroom is the deadliest in the world, said Paul Kroeger, vice-president of the Vancouver Mycological Society. A European native, its poison targets the liver and causes delayed symptoms of severe nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal cramping. If consumed, the death cap can hospitalize a person for days, and possibly be fatal.

In addition to Kroeger’s three sightings in east Vancouver, the mushroom has been seen in Chilliwack, Mission, Abbotsford and parts of southern Vancouver Island. It has white gills and a ring around its stem, with an encapsulating white membrane. Their caps vary between a mix of olive green, light brown and yellow. They have been found at the bases of non-native trees. If spotted, Kroeger said the public should report their location to the society, and he urges everyone to always identify a mushroom before eating it.

Police confirm Agassiz prison inmate murdered

Cellmate arrested in the death of Mountain prisoner Jeremy Phillips BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

Mountain Institution inmate was murdered Sunday night or Monday morning, according to Agassiz RCMP. Jeremy Phillips, 33, was found unresponsive Monday morning. Paramedics were called to his cell and tried to revive him, but Phillips was pronounced dead shortly thereafter. While prison officials couldn’t say what exactly took place, police confirm that they have arrested Phillips’s cellmate. RCMP Sgt.

Mike McCarthy says the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has been called in and has been on the scene since Monday. Mountain Institution, a medium security federal prison that can house up to 440 inmates, remains locked down according to Brandon Banks, the prison’s assistant warden of management services. “We’ll reopen as soon as it’s determined that it’s safe to do so and the police have finished their investigation,” Banks told the Times. Phillips was serving a six-year, nine-month prison term for aggravated assaulted and conspiracy to commit a crime in connection with a 2006 beating and stabbing of a man in Moncton, N.B. Phillips had been at the prison since Oct. 18, 2006. He was due for release on July 13, 2013. One third of inmates at the prison are serving life sentences, while 41 per cent are serving terms longer than 40 months but shorter than life.

Letters LETTERS, from page 9

Don’t chain dogs out in the cold Editor: Now with the cold weather here in Chilliwack and other provinces, I would like to put out a plea to people, who think it is cool to chain their dog(s) outside. Often they do have a dog house or an igloo for them, but they are not insulated. Or the opening of the houses is right in the path of the wind/ cold air. On a sadder note, many farmers do keep their dogs chained up. Irony is, they have lots of hay or straw for the livestock, but they forget about the poor dog outside. Farmers need to put straw in the dog houses and freshen it up as it gets wet and freezes sometimes, creating more coldness and dampness for the poor animals. Also, water freezes in the waterbowls. Dear chainers of dogs, please make sure there is plenty of water in their bowls that is not frozen. Please think hard and ask yourself how a dog can protect you when it is chained up? It can’t. The dog can only do two things: flight or fight. Dog attacks happen so much more when a dog is on a chain. It has no where else to turn. It saddens me that in this day and age, no laws are being implemented to stop the cruelty of chaining dogs. Even in Texas, and other states, there are ordinances. What does it take for council to hear our pleas? Marion Hewko Dogs Deserve Better

Don’t let theatre stand empty Editor: Re: The closure of the Paramount Cinema building. It is with great concern for the poor situation (empty buildings) in the downtown Chilliwack area that this idea is brought to your attention for serious consideration, should a request for ideas/ suggestions be opened for public input at some time in the not too distant future. The idea is to create a small area of tables and chairs for morning or afternoon tea/ coffee. The area would also include a small unit containing newspapers, magazines and a few books. The theatre would show weekly epic films, such as Gone with the Wind, Titanic, et al, musicals, etc. and many, many others for afternoon performances, initially. We may be just whistling in the wind at this time but nothing ventured, nothing gained. Others in the community may also come up with even better ideas. Anything is worth trying, rather than having yet another building stand empty and ripe for vandalism. Rhonda Allan Chilliwack

We should be profiling people Editor: I visited Israel on two occasions and you can expect strict security for obvious reasons. On both occasions the aircraft was fully booked. Yet, the security was swift by comparison to other Western democracies. No shoes to remove, video imaging or pat-downs. However, the security detail are highly trained people to look for and recognize possible suspects.The process is known as profiling. The idea that they would search a three-year-old Caucasian or an elderly lady in a wheelchair is considered redundant. We have gone “over the top” with our multiculturalism and all the other “isms.” Has everyone forgotten that every terrorist act was committed by a male Muslim between the age of 16 and 28. But I forgot, a country that can spend millions of dollars feeding and housing the likes of Clifford Olson will remain in the same philosophical groove and mindset as set by the late Pierre Trudeau.

logged more than 505,000 combat hours in Afghanistan and Iraq. We could purchase a fleet of these for only $1 billion—which would also allow our military to be involved in the technology of the future—and give it a chance to play the innovator role in this technology. However, there may be too many military people from the “old school” to think this big. Regardless, we have indeed already decided to train Afghans to fight their own war, but there are a few questions we should ask ourselves about this mission. Are we training Afghans who will indeed fight against the Taliban and not just become part of them? Does anyone believe that these NATO-trained people will ever eventually be able to defeat the Taliban or even hold them in check once NATO forces decide to leave? Will Canadians continue to lose lives by remaining? I think we all know the answer to at least the last two. Jack Stewart Chilliwack

Paramount Theatre memories continue . . .

Love of film forged at old theatre

Daughter was first to see Harry Potter at Paramount

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

Chilliwack-born David Rempel has forged a career in Hollywood after growing up dreaming of such things at the Paramount.

another time, another place. Those boyhood dreams of being the hero, saving the day, conquering evil—no worse for wear and stronger for the journey. It was a magical place.”

Bellavance tried to get a new downtown theatre FAITH, from page 16 ensure that their movie experience would be a great one considering the age of the building. I also have some bad memories as well; like poor planning or bad decisions I made that hurt people around me. Or when we would get so close to finalizing a deal that would get us a new theatre downtown only to get it dashed away at the last minute. I was a young and immature guy (in his early 20s) who wanted to change the world through this theatre, well at least Chilliwack. I grew up a lot during my 11 years there. I’ve seen businesses in the downtown open and fail (not all by the way) with people always telling me, “When the theatre would grow and renovate into more screens, she would become the anchor that the downtown so desperately needed.” But that was a long time ago and things have changed. At times like this, I wonder what God has to say, so I turn to my Bible. In chapter 3 from the book of Ecclesiastes, a chapter made famous by the 1965 Birds song “Turn! Turn! Turn! (to Everything There is a Season),” the

author goes on to talk about how there is a time for everything “. . . a time to be born, and a time to die; a tie to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance . . .” But there is a crux in this “season thing.” We can’t determine the times nor can we control them. Did you have a say on when you were going to be born? Or when someone very close to you dies, you have to mourn. And when we try to control it, things tend to go bad. The season for the Paramount has come to an end. For some, it is sad news. For others, it is simply a building that they would see when they would drive by on their way to work. What ever the case may be, the city now has a great responsibility in what they will do with this gift because it could still be a great opportunity for the downtown, in whatever way they choose to use (or destroy) the building. May our memories live on. ◗ Rick Bellavance is associate pastor with Mountain View Church.

he closure of the Paramount Theatre downtown has elicited a number of memories from people who worked at the theatre or just enjoyed spending time there as a guest. David Rempel of Abbotsford has made a career in Hollywood, one that was formed out of his love of films first forged at the Paramount. After seeing the coverage of the Paramount closing and stories being told, the Chilliwack-born Rempel contacted the Times and said the theatre left a great legacy and had a big impact on his life, more than he knew at the time. “It gave flight to my dreams which would, years later, be realized in the backlots of Hollywood,” he said. “Within those walls of the Paramount Theatre, I used to dream of

Would like to see theatre continue showing classics BROWN, from page 25 By the time the doors opened, my wife had joined us and I took over looking after our young son David while Joanne and Susan went to the movie. Susan was first through the door that evening and still remembers that day fondly as do I. It is one of many happy memories of her younger years made even happier by the welcome we received from Rick Bellavance that morning and the fact that the following Tuesday we found our

photo in the newspaper along with an article by Chilliwack Times reporter Melissa Shaw. Susan later wrote a “review” for the newspaper. The Paramount is the sort of theatre I grew up with and I would love to see it remain a theatre, showing the classic films of days gone by along with accommodating the annual film festival. It has warmth, atmosphere and even better, it has soul and, try as I might, I have yet to find that in the theatres of today.

David Rempel grew up dreaming of Hollywood at the Paramount, at least in part because his grandfather Cornelius Bergen (second from right) worked at the downtown movie house in the very beginning.

Website addition makes healthier community BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

he Chilliwack Healthier Community consultations may have wrapped up for the year, but participants are hoping a new website will allow the discussion to continue online, all the time. Jamie Billingham, who sat in on the consultations with a local First Nations group, set up the site— chilliwackhealthiercommunities.

Looking for public input to come online

ning.com—on Sunday. The site allows the public to participate in discussions and pose ideas about turning Chilliwack into a healthier more vibrant city. Four years ago, Billingham participated in the first Healthier Communities discussions. Those consultations were a success, but the deaths of two key participants,

along with other factors, allowed the momentum to dissipate. She hopes the website will help sustain and grow the progress and ideas sparked by the most recent round of talks. “There’s lots of different ways to collaborate and network,” Billingham told the Times. “In today’s world we have these wonderful

tools that can open the door to more participation by people who can’t show up at a meeting.” Chilliwack residents can sign up to the site using a Google, Facebook, or Yahoo account, and then can offer their own ideas on creating a better community. Billingham hopes that many will take part. But she said that even if

it only reaches a small audience, it will be successful. “If nothing else, it will be another way to broadcast some information,” she said. On the site, Billingham eloquently lays out the importance of community involvement: “Change, positive change, happens when people get involved; regular, every day folks who take up a cause and do even small things to make things better.”

How to easily incorporate fruits & veggies in your diet

he food guide published by the Canadian Government recommends that we, as adults, should be eating an average of seven to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Children should be eating four to eight servings, depending on their age. This is an ongoing challenge for some people, so to assist you I have gathered some helpful ways to fulfill your intake requirements for healthy eating. The Canada Food Guide (available at www.hc-sc.gc. ca/fn-an/food-guide-aliment/index-eng.php or by calling 1-800-622-6232) describes a single serving of fruit or vegetables as one half cup of fresh, frozen or canned or one half cup of 100 per cent juice. Alternatively one cup of raw leafy vegetables or salads counts as a single serving, as well as a single piece of fruit. The first and most important direction to lead you in is to ensure that you are buying fruits and vegetables in the first place. Chances are if you don’t have them available at your fingertips, you will miss many opportunities to introduce them into your diet: out of sight, out of mind. One helpful tip is to buy the recommended serving amounts for each member of your family for number of days you are shopping for. For example, if you are a family of four and shopping to get you through the next three days, you would need to buy a total of 84 servings of fruit and vegetables combined, based on an average of seven servings each. Purchase these before proceeding to the other

CHEF DEZ

On Cooking departments and isles and build your meals based on these initial produce selections. An easy way to incorporate fresh spinach with every meal is to serve every piece of chicken or fish on a bed of sautéed spinach leaves. Simply heat a pan over medium heat with a very small amount of olive oil, add a large handful of clean, fresh spinach leaves and season with salt & pepper. They will cook and wilt very quickly as you toss with tongs. Plate and serve immediately. If sandwiches are a meal item that you have regularly, then make sure you always have fresh lettuce, tomato and onions on hand at all times. A Mediterranean flair can also be added to your sandwiches by including roasted bell peppers or a spread of roasted garlic. Fruit can become an easily accessible snack item by always having containers of washed berries and grapes in your refrigerator at all times. Try not to prewash too much ahead of time however, as they tend to deteriorate faster after washing. Vegetable skewers on the grill are another low fat way to get your daily servings. Although barbecuing during the cold weather is not as popular as the spring and summer months, it does continue to offer low fat

cooking if you can rearrange your grill to make it easily accessible. Even if there is a member of your family that is somewhat fussy when it comes to eating fruits and vegetables, the produce departments seem to always be expanding in selection of imported/exotic goods. Buy something completely new to your family at least once per month. The Internet and libraries are filled with an abundance of information on preparing and serving almost any ingredient. Happy cooking! Dear Chef Dez: I am on a diet and looking for ways to add flavour to my meals without adding fat or too many calories. Any suggestions? Dawn W. Langley Dear Dawn: Herbs and spices are the way to go. Dry spice rubs and fresh herbs add a ton of flavour without adding a number of calories. Try cooking with fat-free broths. Wine and juices are great to cook with for flavour, but remember they are loaded with natural sugars. Stay away from condiments like ketchup and barbecue sauce, as they are also loaded with sugar.

A love/hate

relationship

The cello captured her heart, but it enjoys toying with her emotions BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

O Cornelia Naylor/TIMES

Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra cellist Danielle Bojczuk shows off her favourite instrument’s versatile sound.

nly about eight years ago, Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra cellist Danielle Bojczuk barely knew what a cello was. But watching a performance by the Vancouver Youth Orchestra when she was 14 turned that around in a couple of hours. Her music teacher asked her if she’d be interested in taking up the instrument, and Bojczuk was soon taking lessons on a 260year-old cello. “It just captured my heart,” she said. “I could really relate to that music.” Bojczuk, 22, says she often thinks in music and was drawn to the cello because of the

depth of emotion it can express. “I feel like it can communicate things that words can’t, or that I can’t with words anyway,” she said. Her first cello was a three-quarter-sized instrument on loan from a woman whose late husband had owned it. “It was a little small for me,” said the willowy, six-foot tall Bojczuk, “but I didn’t care. I was just happy to have a cello in my hands to learn how to play.” The instrument she plays now was made by a luthier in Maple Ridge and is part of a string quartet of instruments all featuring a carved lion’s head instead of the traditional scroll. (Bojczuk’s 13-year-old sister plays the collection’s violin.) While each cello has its own character— some produce a bright sound while others sound dark or warm, according to Bojczuk— each individual instrument also has its own shifting moods. The lion’s head cello, for example, doesn’t respond well in cold weather. See CELLO, Page 30

Always challenged by the cello’s sound CELLO, from page 29 “Some days it’ll just seem to have a good voice and other days it won’t,” said Bojczuk. “It’s an interesting relationship I have with it. Whether it’s having a good day or I’m having a bad day really affects the sounds that’s going to come out of it.” For better or worse, though, it’s the sound that drew her to the cello, not the image. “It’s sort of an awkward way to sit,” she said, demonstrating the cellist’s unwieldy pose with the instrument between her knees. As a beginner, she bruised her chest trying to develop the comfortable resting position she uses now. Mastering the cello’s versatile sound was a challenge

too, said Bojczuk. The instrument’s long, fretless fingerboard provides ample opportunity for cellists to go awry. “You have to just use your ear and muscle memory from your hand to know if your note is going to be in tune,” she said. Although she loves the cello’s versatility as a solo instrument, Bojczuk describes herself as a timid soloist with a tendency to be hard on herself for mistakes. For her, that has made for a tempestuous relationship with the second largest instrument in the violin family. “In some ways the cello is the most frustrating thing in my life,” she said with a laugh. “I love it the most and I hate it the most.”

Love, All our usan, Rick, S Brian Kate &

December 22, 1917 ~ November 21, 2010 It is with great sadness we announce that our beloved mother, oma and great oma Wilhelmiena Both suddenly passed away into the presence of her Lord on November 21, 2010 at her home, at the age of 92 years. Wilhelmiena was born in Zevenhuizen, the Netherlands, on December 22, 1917. On May 19, 1942 she married Teunis "Ted" Both, and in June 1958, they immigrated to Canada with their family of four children. They settled in Chilliwack. Their dream of owning their own farm cnally became reality in the spring of 1969 when they bought a farm on Carey Rd. Wilhelmiena loved farm life and worked tirelessly beside her husband and in her home, always cooking, baking, cleaning and playing games and just generally making her home "gezellig". Her life revolved around loving her husband, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She will always be lovingly remembered for her passion for praying for her family - the desire of her heart was that they would all serve the Lord (3John:4) Wilhelmiena will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her children and their spouses, Gerda (Herman) Wilbrink, Ken (Margaret) Both, Jenny (Henry) Jansen, Gary (Jane) Both (all of Chilliwack), 19 grandchildren, 46 great grandchildren, 2 great great grandchildren. Also left to remember her are her brother, Marinus (Corrie) Roos Chilliwack and sister in law, Sytje Roos, Agassiz ; brothers, Gerrit (Jo), Teunis (Tinie), Wim (Jopie) Roos and brother in law, Wim Both ; sister, Nel (Niek) Rensen and sister in law Cor Both and their families all in the Netherlands and many nephews and nieces. She is sadly predeceased by her beloved husband Teunis; brothers, Cor (of the USA) and Klaas (of Agassiz); sisters, Jans, Gien, Aantje, and Corrie, all of whom resided in the Netherlands. An evening of Condolences will be held on Thursday, November 25, beginning at 7:00 pm at Woodlawn Mt. Cheam Funeral Home, 45865 Hocking Ave. Chilliwack. A Funeral service will be held on Friday, November 26, 2010 at 10:00 am at Bethel Netherlands Reformed Congregation; 8920 Broadway Street, Chilliwack, Rev. P Van Ruitenburg ofcciating. Graveside at Chilliwack Cemetery will follow the Church Service. In lieu of bowers, donations in Wilhelmiena's name may be made to Timothy Christian School.

Congratulations Megan & Danie l

Happy

BOTH, Wilhelmiena “Mien”

Cancer June 21-July 22: Emotionally, a rest period is over. Now you begin two months of intensified, active, communicating, sweet (and sometimes angry, or more likely, competitive) attraction. But don’t lose sight of your main necessity for the next three weeks: work and health. These two – and your dependents, and machinery – face one or two crises or dilemmas this week (Sunday-Tuesday and Thursday/Friday). Be very careful with electricity, computers, driving, tools, especially late week. A project might demand precise, tense attention to complete: give this, and succeed. Romance whispers Thursday/Friday! Leo July 23-Aug. 22: What seemed so romantically alluring in November might meet unexpected events or sexual reactions. Or, speculation and investment quality conflict; or creative urges, projects might trip over the realities that research discovers. Whatever went so brilliantly in November meets the unexpected by Thursday. Leo, whatever happens: 1) be ethical, honest; 2) be alert, realistic. These should show you the right way. Money needs care Sunday/ Monday. Communications, travel, life’s easy Tuesday/ Wednesday. Home, safety, take no chances Thursday! Friday heals. Saturday, love, success begin. Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: I warned you some weeks ago that domestic, property, security and family projects (especially those initiated in November) might hit a shock or snag by this week. It could be a crisis, or simply a snag that needs ironing out. Be patient, diplomatic. Sunday/Monday your energy is high, but everyone seems independent, ready for an argument. Thursday/Friday communications, errands flow swiftly, but an unexpected event could capsize the apple cart. Drive carefully Friday dawn, avoid unsafe tools, avoid computers. Friday p.m., love/ friendship luck! After a hectic week, relax at home Saturday.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Intellectual pursuits have top priority. That includes cultural, far travel, educational, publishing, advertising, religious, philosophical and legal affairs. These might run into a couple of unexpected glitches or shocks early and deep into this week, so time your actions for Dec. 4 onward. Government agencies, or your own “background” might be involved. Dive into chores Sunday/Monday, so you’ll have more time when opportunities and exciting emotional prospects appear (Tuesday/Wednesday). Depths, mysteries, sex, other people’s money Friday/Saturday: you might hit a mother lode! Taurus April 20-May 20: Life’s mysteries, research, depth psychology, subconscious desires, lust, finances tied to other people (e.g., stocks, marriage finances, inheritances) rise in importance. These might be imperilled this week, especially if you began a related venture in November. You might need to take quick “crisis action” Thursday/Friday. Or, you could be free of any problems – if so, wait until Saturday onward to plunge into these areas, and/or to make a commitment, change your lifestyle, or invest. Work succeeds midweek. Friendships, loves (and everything listed above) are lucky Friday p.m.! Gemini May 21-June 20: Excitement! You could take major steps in a romance or more mature relationship now, or you might face and seize a huge opportunity such as relocation, a public appearance, a business negotiation/contract. But be aware: you might succeed, and the payment is stress. Or it all might blow up (Sunday-Tuesday a.m. or Thursday/Saturday) especially if this situation began in November. But if it blows up: so what? It clears away six years of tension, liberates you – laugh at life! Midweek’s romantic. Saturday begins, small but growing, the workable opportunities, attractions. Optimism arrives!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: The main emphasis lies on communications, paperwork, errands, travel, siblings and casual friends. These areas face one or two challenges this week, especially Sunday/Monday (philosophical or legal differences?) and Thursday/ Friday (romantic, creative conflicts?). In everything (communication, travel, etc.) your intention is all tied up with a partnership urge – but it is this urge that is really causing unexpected events or disagreements. Somehow, it (the urge to join or merge) is fighting the work you need to get done. By Friday p.m., the conflict’s over, and money luck flows! Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Unexpected events could throw a monkey wrench into your money projects, particularly any projects you began in November, especially Sunday/Monday and Thursday/Friday. Do NOT purchase machinery or high tech items before Friday noon. The problem comes from your desire, hidden or not, to seek pleasure, romance, adventure or to take a gamble. You might face a choice: chase romance, or guard your money, gamble or keep your bank account, etc. Despite events, you’ll be optimistic, happy Sunday/Monday! Rest, contemplate mid-week. Your energy, charisma soar Thursday/Friday – this eve’s lucky! Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Watch your temper – you’re riding a wave of energy, charisma, hope, loving emotions and creative, gambling pizzazz – but this could make you impatient, too, especially with parents/kids, domestic situations, real estate, security provisions. These have caused you stress and tension for seven years, and you’re at the fed-up stage! So there might be one last explosion, especially Sunday/ Monday or Thursday/Friday. Listen: be safe, but don’t repress your temper. Have a tantrum, then look for common ground. You’ll find it Friday eve, successfully start to implement it Saturday onward.

Ads continued on next page

Nov. 28 - Dec. 4 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Messages, information (or distribution realities) might interfere with a plan that involved government, an institution, or a “retreat.” Protect yourself from gossip. Take care in writing, speech, driving and with electrical tools. The most “accident prone days are Sunday, Monday and Friday (morning). This is a time of rest, solitude, peace and contemplation – seek an environment that promotes these. That said, your social popularity begins to revive, and you grow more talkative, more interested in wisdom and learning. Complete obligations. Happiness, optimism visit Friday! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: A conﬂict between your hopes and your “available cash” might reach a climax this week, especially Sunday/Monday and Thursday/ Friday. Well, reality is reality, you gotta work with what you have. Once you accept this, you can start achieving, and your hopes will rise. In general, your popularity is rising, light romance visits, and your money picture does keep getting better! Bosses, VIPs and parents favour you again, into January – take advantage (especially Friday!). Tackle governmentrelated chores now, as a slow-down will commence here soon. Love, Tuesday/Wednesday, Saturday! Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Relationships need patience, gentleness early week. A temperamental boss, parent or VIP could act now, especially Sunday to Tuesday (argument) and Thursday/Friday (sudden action). Be alert, good-natured, diplomatic – deflect attacks. (A VIP’s motive? Perhaps a suspicion that you are money-hungry. Deeper, it’s a power struggle.) Wisdom, gentle love, and a travel, legal or educational project return, lasting to early January. These are lucky Friday p.m. Friends begin to appear. Still, your main December goal is career, ambition. Secrets, revelations, “major money” Tuesday/Wednesday. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
