Chilliwack-Hope candidates at last Wednesday’s all-candidates meeting, left to right, Thomas Cheney, Louis De Jaeger, Alexander Johnson, Seonaigh MacPherson, Dorothy-Jean O’Donnell and Mark Strahl.

With just four days left in the longest federal election campaign in Canadian history, vot-

ers here in Chilliwack have also seen, arguably, one of the most interesting races in recent memory.

It’s hard to know how much social media may distort and amplify mat-ters, but the interest across the polit-ical spectrum in this new riding of Chilliwack-Hope over the last 74 days has been remarkable.

And while Conservatives across Canada have been criticized for a campaign style that saw less partici-pation in candidates meetings than in the past or from the other parties, incumbent Mark Strahl did attend some, including last Wednesday at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre where

some 380 people showed up.He was also scheduled to attend

the public Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce meeting at the Coast Hotel at noon on Thursday.

At the Cultural Centre meeting, which was broadcast later a num-ber of times on Shaw TV, all six candidates—Strahl, Green Thomas Cheney, Liberal Louis De Jaeger, Libertarian Alexander Johnson, NDP Seonaigh MacPherson and Marxist-Leninist Dorothy-Jean O’Donnell—provided compelling

and at times controversial answers to questions from the audience.

As is often the case, local issues either fall into a national context or fall by the wayside as federal cam-paigns tend to steer the conversa-tions across the country.

International trade, however, while a subject of national debate, was made local and was one of the first topics discussed thanks to the recent signing of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a 12-nation trade deal many dairy and poultry farmers feared would deci-mate their industries.

Strahl told the crowd the TPP was important for Canadian business to “keep us in the loop with our NAFTA partners,” and he was proud the

BY VANESSA BROADBENT

Special to the Times

It was obvious when Audrey, a Rott-weiler/Labrador mix, was picked up by Animal Control that she had been neglected by her previous owner.

Her coat was rough and dry, she had sores all over her body and was suffering from flea aller-gy dermatitis. She was immediately brought to the Community Animal Response Education (CARE) Centre, where she was treated for fleas and internal parasites, as well as vaccinated. Audrey was also put under veterinary care and underwent treatment including two rounds of antibiotics, prednisone, skin testing, blood work, pain medication and X-rays, which showed that she was also suffering from arthrit-ic hips and a degenerative spinal condition.

It’s not uncommon for Animal Control to pick up dogs with health issues similar to Audrey’s. Animal Control supervisor Trina Douglas explained that common health issues can include dental conditions, broken bones, abscesses, arthritic conditions, matted fur cov-ering infections, eye conditions, ear infections and much more.

“More often than not, dogs come in with untreated medical conditions,” Douglas said.

“Some as simple as fleas or intestinal parasites, some more extensive issues.”

While some of these health issues aren’t always immediately visible in the dog, Audrey’s were and it was clear that she was not feeling her best as Brittney, one of the animal control officers, tried to coax her into the back of a van to bring her to the vet. Audrey shuffled over to

the van slowly. Her arthritic hips and spinal condition made it difficult for her to climb into the van, so Brittney gently lifted her up and placed her on a towel in the back.

“I really hope it’s a happy ending for her,” Brittney said. “She’s such a nice dog but we can’t get our hopes up.”

Brittney and the other animal control officers

at the CARE Centre are responsible for picking up lost dogs and, if possible, returning them to their homes. If a dog is licensed it can be brought home right away, saving it a trip to the shelter.

“You don’t want to take it to a shelter if you don’t have to,” Brittney explained. “The dogs are well taken care of at the CARE Centre, but it’s always much better if we can return a dog to their own home.”

But many of the dogs that animal control picks up, like Audrey, aren’t licensed, and they have no choice other than to go back to the CARE Centre.

The first step was to find Audrey’s owner, but without a licence this was a difficult task for the CARE team. Although she had a tattoo, at some point her owner had moved and not updated their contact information, making it impossible to find them. No one had reported a lost dog matching Audrey’s description and even after the CARE team contacted a number of agencies in case Audrey was licensed in another area, her owner could not be located.

The main goal at the CARE Centre is to find every dog in the shelter a home, whether that be finding their previous home or a new one.

“Once the dogs enter the CARE Centre, the process begins,” Douglas explained. “They are checked over for identifica-tion, medical concerns, behaviours, and then the journey begins to find either their rightful owners or, in the case of those whose owners are not located, a new owner.”

If the CARE team has not been able to find the dogs owner, they are placed for adoption. Each dog has a photo shoot with the adoption co-ordinator and their pictures, along with a bio, are put online.

It was clear to Douglas and the rest of the care team that finding a home for Audrey could be a difficult task.

“Audrey is approximately nine years old with a degenerative condition—usu-ally not the first dog a potential adopter would be looking at,” she explained. “It is difficult to adopt out a dog with long-term health issues and also difficult to adopt out an older dog.”

Older dogs can actually end up being

some of the best adoptees, but this isn’t realized by everyone.

“They usually know the ropes,” Doug-las said. “The old dogs aren’t the ones running through the house ripping up your shoes, pooping on your pillow and stealing your roast off your counter.”

Audrey was one of few older dogs with a happy ending and on Aug. 14 she was adopted.

“Audrey was lucky,” Douglas explained. “Audrey has a new life, a new journey and a new home.”

Although Audrey found a home, the CARE Centre still has plenty of other dogs available for adoption. Anyone interested in adopting a dog can visit the Animal Control page on the Fraser Valley Regional District’s website, or call the CARE Centre at 1-844-495-2273.

Chilliwack may not have the “mon-ster home” problem that has popped up in other Fraser Valley

communities over the years, but a great many residential portions of farm prop-erties greatly exceed provincial government recommendations.

The homes exist in every agricultural area of Chilliwack. Most have very long driveways, homes as far as 400 metres from the road, surrounded by swim-ming pools, outbuildings, RV garages, even tennis courts and koi ponds.

Some of these residential footprints—known as the “farm home plate”—are as much as two to three acres in size, taking valuable farmland out of production.

At its last meeting, city council received a staff report on the farm home plate issue, and initiated a review and public consultation to come up with a bylaw to regulate properties.

An analysis by city staff found 178 prop-erties in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) in Chilliwack were found to exceed the home plate size recommended in provincial standards.

And the average size of home plates on farm properties in Chilliwack of 5,500 square metres is more than double that

recommended.“As the Fraser Valley grows in

population . . . the pressure on agricultural land will continue,” Coun. Chris Kloot said at the last meeting of council.

“With over 30 per cent of buy-ers moving in from outside we stand at a risk of losing more agricultural lands to big homes

which become glorified hobby farms.”Kloot is also a local farmer, realtor

and chair of the Agricultural Advisory Committee.

The Ministry of Agriculture has guidelines for residential use in the ALR that covers three areas: regulating siting of farm homes; restricting the size of the home plate; and restricting the size

of the farm residence.In some cases in Chilliwack, staff say

houses are set back as far as 150 metres to over 400 metres from the road, leav-ing large front yards either taken right out of agricultural production or cut off from the rest of the farm property. Pro-vincial guidelines suggest a maximum front setback of 50 metres from roads.

As for the size, the recommendation is to restrict the farm home plate cov-erage to 2,000 square metres (principal residence) plus 1,000 square metres for a secondary residence (where permit-ted).

The provincial government also rec-ommends a maximum home size for the principal residence of 500 square metres (or 5,382 square feet). But the City of Chilliwack is not considering restricting home size for farm properties.

The city has created a survey to give feedback on the proposed farm home plate bylaw, either online at www.chil-liwack.com/farmhomeplate or a paper copy can be obtained by contacting the planning department at 604-793-2906.

‘Farm home plate’ a growing issue

The City of Chilliwack is seeking input into a proposed bylaw to regu-late the size and siting of residential homes on farm properties in the Agricultural Land Reserve.

Gosselin fi rst to enter trustee byelection

BY GREG LAYCHAK

[email protected]

With a Chilliwack school board bye l e c t i o n d at e s e t f o r D e c . 1 2

this year, candidate Ange-lina Gosselin was quick to announce her campaign for the open trustee position on a Facebook page she created.

“I’m so sorry for the pass-ing of Martha Wiens,” Gos-selin said. “Those are some big boots to fill but I know the board still has to contin-ue on.”

An RCMP officer currently on educa-tion leave at the Justice Institute of B.C. (JIBC), Gosselin still has three years of

that break remaining so the timing was right for her to get involved in the board, she said.

She is concerned with aboriginal completion rates, and wants support for those communities in the school envi-ronment.

Herself a Haisla Nation member raised in the foster care system in Sto:lo

territory, Gosselin advocates for aboriginal kids in care in her own time and works part time with Sto:lo Nation Health as a community well-ness worker.

She wants to take her expe-rience of having been a youth liaison officer to the board and be a part of making hard decisions like balancing the budget.

“I love Chilliwack and I believe in our youth,” she said. “We want them to be better than we were growing up and that’s what I expect.”

More than one in four children locally live in poverty, a rate that ranks the old federal elec-

toral district of Chilliwack-Fraser Can-yon sixth worst out of British Columbia’s 36 ridings.

And in pure numbers, at 6,880 poor children, Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon is third highest in B.C. behind only Fleet-wood-Port Kells (8,270) and Surrey North (8,290).

Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon’s rate of 25.5 per cent compares to Abbotsford’s rate of 19 per cent.

Vancouver Centre has the smallest number at 2,530 but a rate of 21.8 per cent.

The data comes from First Call: BC Child and Youth Advocacy Coalition, and is based on 2013 numbers and the 308 riding boundaries that existed that year.

There are now 338 ridings, and the local Chilliwack-Hope region eliminates Agassiz, Harrison Hot Springs and the Fraser Canyon.

Provincewide 20 of the 36 ridings

have child poverty rates above 19 per cent, the national average.

First Call released the data on Oct. 8 as part of a campaign to push federal election candidates to act on the issue.

“Eradicating child and family poverty in Canada requires federal leadership and a sustained commitment that is backed by investments,” the First Call press release states. “All federal parties have pledged to end child poverty three times: in 1989, 2009 and in February 2015. Despite growing inequality and persistent poverty plaguing Canadians, there has not been a sustained or sig-nificant reduction in the national rate of child and family poverty since 1989.”

First Call created a federal election toolkit to help those interested in push-ing the issue before the vote on Oct. 19. Included are 39 questions to be asked to candidates, questions such as, “will your party scrap the income splitting provisions for families with children and invest the projected cost of this reduction into programs that benefit low- and middle-income Canadians?”

And: “Will your party extend paren-tal leave to 18 months, with additional months for fathers?”

Issues such as these came up at the first all-candidates meeting held in Chilliwack-Hope. It was hosted by the Chilliwack Child and Youth Commit-tee on Sept. 15 and was attended by Liberal Louis De Jaeger, NDP Seon-aigh MacPherson and Green Thomas Cheney.

Our rate of child poverty sixth worst in provinceAs far as pure numbers, we rank third worst in B.C.

Depending on your perspective, two headlines about advanced voting this past weekend:

“Enthusiastic voters flock to the polls as advanced voting up 70 per cent over 2011.” Or: “Enraged voters sent to far-away polls, stuck in long lineups and fed misinformation as advanced voting up 70 per cent over 2011.”

Did you vote on Oct. 9, 10, 11 or 12? Which headline defines your experi-ence?

It’s clear that 3.6 million people vot-ing is great news. But the frustration experienced by so many seems at best a display of bad planning by Elections Canada and at worst a sign of deliberate voter suppression.

Like many other Canadians, Chil-liwack resident Meghan Martel Reid keenly trudged off for the first day of advanced polls Friday. Her designated place to cast a ballot had a line that start-ed in the school gym, wound through the hallway into the parking lot. She was told it would be an hour and a half wait.

“We, along with many others, turned around and left,” Reid told me.

She tried again Saturday. Same sce-nario. Then she tried on the last day, Monday. Twice. No luck.

This is a Canadian citizen who really

wants to vote, and who plans on being out of her electoral district on Oct. 19.

“Monday was actually the shortest line,” she said. “I made it in the building. Only then to realize that it didn’t end in the hall at the gym entrance but snaked through the gym. I gave up when, after 30 minutes, only one person had come out.”

Others voted easily, but Reid’s experi-ence was far from isolated.

Voting in the 2015 federal election so far has gone over about as smoothly as a crunchy peanut butter sandwich in a public school cafeteria.

Beyond extreme examples, such as some Yale residents being told they have to vote as far away as Mission, there are the smaller missteps.

Voter information cards (VIC) have been an issue. Personally, I didn’t receive one although my wife did. We also got one for the husband of the cou-ple we bought the house from. How is that possible? We jointly file income tax-

es, which is presumably where Elections Canada gets the information from.

“We’ve had a lot of this happening,” a friendly Elections Canada staff person told me when I went in to get a new VIC.

Then there’s the fact that those who are used to voting at Evergreen Hall are this time directed to the Skwah First Nation band office. The reason? Appar-ently “accessibility” as the wheelchair ramp at Evergreen Hall is a few degrees too steep. So people with wheelchairs and walkers need to travel a kilometre away from their normal polling station to increase accessibility. Got it?

Others have reported misinformation at polling stations. Some voters tell me that Elections Canada staff were asking people in lineups if they had their photo ID that was required to vote.

But here’s the thing: you don’t need photo ID to vote.

Back to the lineups, we should not mistake enthusiasm for election tam-pering. Folks seem keen on voting early, something we have seen in all recent elections.

This election saw four advanced days of voting rather than three, so an increase in chances to vote can hardly be seen as dissuading people to vote. On the other hand, if Elections Canada can’t

figure out how to make the new Fair Elections Act work (i.e. more voting sta-tions at each poll) then what’s the point of an extra day of early voting?

NDP candidate Seonaigh MacPhersonpassed on a supporter’s bad experience to the local returning officer.

“We were given assurances that this new act would not interfere with people’s ability to vote, but this policy of a single box in advance polls clearly is impacting people’s ability to vote. Already, it seems to me, this is setting grounds for questions about the legiti-macy of the results.”

The Liberals, too, said they were submitting reports regarding the long lineups.

A Yarrow voter who said she’s been a registered voter since before I was born (I may be older than she thinks) said she had never seen anything like the “gong show” over the weekend.

“Elections Canada is supposed to be arm’s length, non-partisan,” she told me. “Creeps me out that we send ‘experts’ to Afghanistan to monitor their election. Who is monitoring this one?”

Good question.But intentional voter suppression?

Unlikely. Fair Elections Act collateral damage? Maybe.

Voter suppression or bad planning?

OUR VIEW

We put a man on the moon nearly half a century ago, we’ve cured diseases, we can watch television on

our phones in the middle of the desert and 3D technology has come and gone. Yet, despite all these advances, we’re still voting with pencils and little slips of perforated paper.

Across the Fraser Valley last weekend voters at advance polls lined up in droves, waiting not-so-patiently in lines that exceeded one hour, sometimes two. It’s not just vot-ers who are frustrated, either. In the riding of Vancouver Centre, a federal elections information officer angrily quit, storming out of the advance-polling station frustrated with ever-growing wait times and what he said was a lack of help from Elections Canada.

Earlier this week, officials across the country apologized to voters for the excessive wait times, saying the delays were largely a result of voter turnout being far greater than expected.

If nothing else, digitalizing the in-person experience would speed up the process—perhaps having election offi-cials search for voter names in an online database, rather than having them sift through binder after binder, search-ing for last names and addresses. For better or worse, we are an increasingly impatient society, and anything that can improve the voting process should be considered.

Editor:While politicians pumped party

tires at Wednesday’s all-candi-dates meeting, hayseed teens were bent on letting the air out of a good night of political debate.

Together, my dad and I enjoyed the Chilliwack Cultural Centre event: beautiful venue, engaged crowd, full slate of candidates and an excellent moderator. Great participation from the audience included a thoughtful question from the 11-year-old girl who we later learned had her family minivan’s tire slashed in the Ever-green Hall parking lot. Her dad bought new tires only a couple weeks ago. We found this out while struggling to dislodge the spare beneath dad’s Ram 2500 to replace his knifed tire. The RCMP officer on scene said about five vehicles were hit. Unfortunately, security didn’t get a great look at the handful of hoodie-wearing kids who scrambled away after being spotted nearby and suspect-ed of deflating trust in wandering youths and Chilliwack’s down-town in general.

The north side is a great place to live with beautiful homes, people, and parks. But the next time your child aimlessly slips into a rainy Chilliwack weeknight, take time to wonder what they’re up to. Ask where they’re going. Maybe pat coat pockets (carefully, there could be sharp stuff in there). Apple’s “Find My iPhone” app can even let you track their trail.

A handful of your neighbours are seriously out of time and pocket because they participated in the democratic process that ultimately protects our rights and freedoms; though unfortunately not the tires of our vehicles that get us to work to pay the taxes that fund the programs that make Can-ada such a great place to be, more often than not.

The devil is in the details with TPPEditor:

Two weeks ago, after years of long, drawn out, secret bar-gaining sessions, an initial TPP International Trade agreement was announced. It was touted to be a benefit for Canadian indus-tries, Canadian farmers, Cana-dian resource development and employment. Yet the agreement is unavailable for scrutiny and those trade representatives who helped craft it and signed on for Canada are not explaining.

Other countries that have signed onto this Trans-Pacific Partnership include those that rim right around the Pacific Ocean. There are vast travel distances between them from Arctic, tem-perate, tropical, temperate again to the Antarctic regions.

My concern, as a Canadian, is mostly in regard to food eaten by us and food produced for Cana-dians by local producers. I also wonder how Canadian produc-ers will be able to withstand the “hollowing out” of our fairly high production and management standards and regulations which

are a hallmark of Canadian food production. When we are chal-lenged by foreign corporations within these Pacific Rim countries to settle when we’re sued under the “Investor-State Dispute Settle-ment Mechanism” because they have not been given the access or the results they expected, how will we pay those high costs to a tribu-nal decision?

Our method of supply manage-ment that has been developed to serve our circumstances will take some powerful hits. Dairy and poultry farmers may well begin to see a major disruption to our stable system of food supply in the Canadian temperate growing zone, if this TPP proceeds.

Last week as I was listening to a local dairy farmer, I heard him explain how the Canadian supply management system supports consistent food security; where-as, the so-called “free market” program in other countries easily fluctuates between supply and demand which can consequently lead to volatility.

Local dairy farmers and farmers generally, face a wide variety of costs to produce milk; infrastruc-ture/housing of animals, feed costs from low Canadian dollar for Alberta hay or high costs of Wash-ington hay in U.S. dollars. If farm-ers produce their own feed; then machinery for; plowing, seeding and harvesting, labour costs for milking help and harvesting hay plus managing the health and safety costs must all go into being accounted as costs. Costs of main-taining good agricultural land is a given.

The system in the U.S. dairy “factory type farms” incorporates hundreds of cows in vast herds that often never ever see a blade of real grass. Farm management there uses antibiotic medication and hormone additives injections to blanket control disease preven-tion, in crowded conditions and to induce increased milk supply to match their “supply and demand” market requirements. Canadian farmers on the other hand, are highly restricted in using drugs for disease prevention and inducing lactation. Monsanto’s product, rBST steroid is used by U.S. dairy producers, therefore to induce more milk production in Ameri-can cows. At this point, rBST is not allowed in Canada.

So if TPP were to be approved by a vote in Parliament; would this 3.25 per cent increase in dried powdered milk from Amer-ican dairy cattle be entering the Canadian food market with a payload of antibiotics and growth hormones to bulk up our cheeses,

pasta and pizza cheese powders? What we don’t know, could actu-ally cause some problems.

This Thanksgiving, I splurged a little bit by buying a local organic turkey from a nearby Bradner farm to feed my family a special dinner. The package wrap tells how these birds have “full access to outdoors, a diet of only cer-tified, organic feed and strictly prohibited use of antibiotics.” An extra note—“The use of hormones and steroids in the production of any poultry is illegal in Canada.”

I like feeding my family local fresh food, I like supporting local farmers and local industry, I like taking measures to address climate change by reducing the travel footprint that my food takes. I don’t like knowing that there are quite likely devilish details inside the TPP.

Balancing a budget is good governingEditor:

I am a fiscal conservative and an NDP supporter. I want to share why I believe the NDP is the party that I trust the most to manage my tax dollars.

It concerns me that Canada has a debt of $650 billion, so I like the fact that Thomas Mulcair is not just promising a balanced budget but a surplus.

I would be very concerned if Justin Trudeau was elected with his intention to run a deficit budget. Our debt-to-GDP ratio is already much higher than recom-mended—much closer to Greece’s level than Australia’s, for example.

Tommy Douglas is the only provincial leader that I’m aware of that ran a balanced budget for 17 years in a row when the NDP were in power in Saskatchewan. He did this while introducing medicare for the people in his province.

The federal government’s finance department studied the fiscal records of Canadian political parties in power over the last 30 years. Their conclusion was that the NDP was the best at reducing debt and creating surpluses.

The NDP’s emphasis on pro-viding for the needs of people will stimulate the economy in ways that the Conservatives’ emphasis on elites will not.

I particularly like the NDP com-mitment to providing apprentice-ship opportunities that will lead to skilled jobs for Canadians.

Also, I like that Mulcair is willing to stand up for us in trade deals like the TPP that may put quality jobs and healthcare in jeopardy.

With Mulcair, I believe we have a better future.

BY CURTIS FAST

Yarrow MB Church

The apostle Paul, at the end of his letter to the church in Ephesus, encourages the church to, “. . . be

strong in the Lord and in His mighty power . . . put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground . . . Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.” (Eph.6:10,13,17-18)

Paul uses the imagery of a Roman soldier to explain to us how we are to be strong in the Lord. Interestingly, he uses a picture of carnal weapons to tell us peaceful, spiritual truths. One of the pieces of armour we are to carry with us as Christians is “the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” Author and professor Gareth Brandt writes:

“The terms “sword of the Spir-it” and “the word of God” do not refer only specifically to the Bible; they refer more broadly to a whole variety of divine revelation and

intervention, from the power of God’s word to create in Genesis 1 to God’s intervention on behalf of the powerless in Isaiah 55. God’s word is the most powerful force in the universe.”

The ultimate weapon is not the sword; it is the intervention, reve-lation and word of God. Jesus calls himself the “word of God” and he is the ultimate revelation and inter-vention in human affairs.

When God speaks, things hap-pen, lives are changed. Proverbs tells us that the power of life and death is held in the tongue. That goes for God, and it goes for us too. The most powerful weapons we have are our words. We can speak God’s truth and speak life . . . or we can very easily speak death as well.

A sword is a wonderful and dangerous tool, so how should we wield it?

I suggest that we pray.Paul goes on to say, “Pray in

the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.” Words of prayer are our greatest weapon because we are strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.

A few years ago I met a guy named Jimmy Juma. He is from

the Congo and does peace and justice work all across Africa. He told me that every day he prays for peace in the Congo. He witnessed his own village get slaughtered in a coup with local rebels and has lived through many other atroci-ties of war. I remember him telling me that “people can shoot at me, attack me, chase me down . . . that’s OK, because God is with me. Their violence has never changed anything, violence begets violence; but I hold a weapon stronger than any gun or bomb that has been thrown my way, I hold the weapon of peace. Peace changes lives. Peace changes policy. Peace is the king-dom which God intends for us.”

There is power in prayer and in the words spoken over you. We can speak death, or we can speak life and today I want to speak a bless-ing of life over you. May the Lord bless you and keep you. May He cause His face to shine upon you. May the Lord life his countenance to you and bring you His peace.

chiefsextraUpcoming games: Oct. 17 - Chilliwack @ Alberni Valley 7 p.m. Oct. 18 - Chilliwack @ Nanaimo 2 p.m.

BY GREG LAYCHAK

[email protected]

There is much to give thanks for after the hol-iday weekend for the

Chilliwack Chiefs, the local BCHL hockey squad finishing its three-game series 2-1.

After a blowout win in Surrey Friday night (6-1), the Chilliwack Chiefs came back to Prospera Saturday to lose to Penticton in similar fashion (5-1) before heading to Lang-

ley on Sunday to win an excit-ing comeback (4-2).

There was never much doubt for the Chiefs Friday night in Surrey, who were leading 4-0 in the middle of the third period when the Eagle’s John Wesley put up the home team’s first and only goal.

Chilliwack’s Ryan Roseboom and Darien Craighead quickly followed Wesley’s example, adding to the margin to make it a final 6-1 game.

The offensive effort was spread across the Chiefs line-up, with Mark Esposito coming out on top of points with a goal and two assists.

Aidan Pelino took a win for stopping 26 of 27 Surrey shots at the Eagle’s Nest.

In Saturday’s game back at Prospera Centre the Penticton Vees came out strong, out-shooting the Chiefs 25-9 in the first period.

Two out of three ain’t bad

See CHIEFS, page A13


Vees Easton Brodzinski and Dante Fabbro scored a pair of goals each to Chil-liwack’s only goal from for-ward Kohen Olischefski.

The results of that frame would stick to haunt the Chiefs, who made the following two periods competitive until an empty net goal from the Vees made the total five goals to one, handing Pelino a loss in net.

But after three-in-a-row for the netminder he would come up with another win, holding the Rivermen to two goals in the first 40 minutes of play in Langley on Sunday.

That gave the Chiefs offence enough time to finally start finding holes in goalie Nickolas Tren-ciansky’s defence after the second intermission.

It was all Chilliwack

in the third frame, with Craighead, Olischefski and Mitch Skapski all scoring before Vimal Sukumaran found an empty Rivermen net to end the game 4-2 at the Langley Event Centre.

The weekend results launch Chilliwack up to second place in the Main-land division, tied with Coquitlam at one point behind Langley.

The Chiefs are on the road this weekend, head-ing to face Alberni Valley Saturday night and then Nanaimo Sundday after-noon.

They play the following Wednesday (Oct. 21) back at Prospera when they host the Wenatchee Wild at 7 p.m.

Th e C h i l l i w a c k Chiefs new acqui-s i t i o n f o r w a r d

Darien Craighead has already shown his worth after scoring on a power play in Friday’s win over Surrey and then getting another goal in Sunday’s victory against the River-men.

Craighead was wel-comed to the Chiefs last week from the Cowichan V a l l e y C a p i t a l s i n exchange for defence-man Carter Cochrane.

Now in his third BCHL season, the 18-year-old forward had a goal and an assist in four games with the Capitals prior to moving to Chilliwack this year.

The six-foot, 170-pound Surrey native posted 19 goals and 23 assists in 42 games last season with the Capitals, and is already committed to Northern Michigan Uni-versity for next season.

“We felt we needed another forward with a scoring touch,” said Chiefs general manager and head coach Jason Tatarnic last week in a press release. “We feel Craighead will provide that for us.

“When you acquire a good player you have to give something up in return and unfortunately the price tag was Carter. We wish Carter all the best in Cowichan.”

Do Harper’s Conservatives Help Seniors?

• March 31, 2015 marked the one-year anniversary of the death of the National Health Accord.

• The Harper government is eliminating the equalization portion of the Canada Health Transfer (CHT) and replacing it with an equal per capita transfer. It is estimated that this will create a funding gap for the have-not provinces of $16.5 billion over the next 5 years. The only province to bene t from this change is Alberta.

• The share of federal transfers in health spending is set to fall from the current level of 20% to below 12%.

• Government estimates show that nearly 250,000 Canadian seniors will lose their poverty-preventing GIS each year by 2030.

• Canada remains one of the few G7 nations that do not have a national dementia strategy.

• The Conservatives have decided that people should not retire at 65, so they are moving the age of eligibility for Old Age Security (OAS) and the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) to 67.

• They have increased the discount on the Canada Pension Plan if you take it before 65, as a means to keep people working longer.

• You used to have to be in Canada 10 years to be eligible for OAS. In the last budget bill, they changed this to 20 years.

A Liberal government is committed to an immediate $3 billion investment, over the next four years, in home care.

We will also reduce the costs of prescription medication and increase availability of mental health services.

We will also help lift hundreds of thousands of seniors out of poverty by immediately boosting the Guaranteed Income Supplement for single low-income seniors by 10%.

We will also restore the eligibility age for Old Age Security and the Guaranteed Income Supplement to 65, putting an average of $13,000 into the pockets of the lowest income Canadians each year, as they become seniors.

Because many seniors live on xed incomes, we will introduce a new Seniors Price Index to make sure that Old Age Security and the Guaranteed Income Supplement bene ts keep up with seniors’ actual rising costs.

We will also make the Compassionate Care Bene t more exible and easier to access, so that those who are caring for seriously ill family members – not just family members who are at risk of death – can access 6 months of bene ts.

We will prioritize investments in affordable housing and seniors’ facilities, build more new housing units and refurbish old ones, give support to municipalities to maintain rent-geared-to-income subsidies in co-ops.

We will encourage the construction of new rental housing by removing all GST on new capital investments in affordable rental housing. This will provide $125 million per year in tax incentives to grow and renovate the supply of rental housing across Canada.

We will modernize the existing Home Buyers’ Plan to allow Canadians impacted by sud-den and signi cant life changes to buy a house without tax penalty. This will ease the bur-den on Canadians facing the death of a spouse, or a decision to accommodate an elderly family member.

By 2030, seniors will number more than 9 million and make up about 25 per cent of the population.

supply management system local farmers rely upon was, in the end, mostly protected.

Cheney responded by saying that the argument free trade benefits regular citizens was apocryphal, and “after 40 years of globalization, incomes are stagnant.”

De Jaeger pointed out how few details have yet emerged about what is exactly in the TPP since it was negotiated in private, and the doc-ument is so large most experts have barely scratched the surface.

“The devil is in the details,” De Jaeger said, pointing specifically to

his concern that pharmaceuticals may become more expensive, something that will affect seniors.

MacPher-son suggested that even the dairy farmers,

smallscale ones at least, may not be protected in the long run as the $4.3-billion fund to top up lost reve-nues will eventually run dry and may be a form of “planned obsolescence.”

She also argued that big trade deals only benefit the wealthy.

“Our labour and our industries are not benefitting; these trade deals benefit investors, not labour,” MacPherson said.

O’Donnell commented that in his opening remarks Strahl said his government’s priority is safety and protection of citizens.

“But in his answer [to the TPP question], he completely reverses

himself: He is supporting subjecting Canadians to a three-man business tribunal that can veto virtually any time the government acts in the pub-lic interest.”

On the subject of military action in Syria, Strahl said the reason Canada is involved is simple: “ISIL is a terror-ist organization the likes of which the world has never seen.”

Cheney rhetorically asked if Cana-dians were really safer when the gov-ernment sells military equipment to Saudi Arabia.

MacPherson suggested Canada needs to retain its tradition of peace-keeping, and, “we are in a mess because we really stepped up and interfered in areas that we really don’t understand.”

After Strahl’s words where he defended the international mission in Syria, he received loud applause, a response De Jaeger said “really sad-dens me.”

De Jaeger also said Canada needs to keep to its peacekeeping role, and only get involved through the United Nations. But he also picked up on the controversy in some veteran circles about compensation.

“If you are going to send people in to harms way then you bloody well take care of them when they get back,” he said.

Johnson’s message was simple: “Please don’t believe the fear mon-gering that goes on.”

The persistent issue of the niqab reared its ugly head at this debate. Strahl defended his party’s oppo-sition to the rare form of Muslim

head-gear worn by women and the Supreme Court decisions that have defended a woman’s right to wear it, even at a citizenship ceremony.

O’Donnell articulated the other party’s universal opposition to the Conservatives on this issue, pointing out that the niqab and citizenship has received immense news cover-age and is of relevance to precisely, at least so far, “two human beings.”

“To make this an issue on which Canadians to be divided is abhor-rent,” O’Donnell said.

Connected to this issue, too, was a question about so-called “barbaric cultural practices” and a Conserva-tive pledge to create a tipline. The incumbent was asked why these offences warranted more attention than missing or murdered aboriginal women when the acts are already criminal in nature?

Strahl did not answer about the tipline, and instead spoke about what had been done regarding miss-ing and murdered women. He said 90 per cent of the cases had been solved, and enough inquiries and studies had been done.

“We think the time for study is over,” he said.

MacPherson said the issue was one of trust, and that we are a cul-ture where trust of our neighbours is important.

“It’s not about justice it’s about social justice and understanding this,” she said of the missing and murdered women, adding that the barbaric cultural practices message was not about terrorism: “It’s the

politics of fear. Only two people have died from terrorism and almost 50 people died at Lac Megantic.”

MacPherson used this to suggest deregulation of industry led to the train tragedy, while terrorism affects so few Canadians directly, that to say so-called “barbaric cultural practic-es” is about protecting citizens is “a bit disingenuous.”

What all these issues illustrate is what an increasing divide there is in this country, but also in this riding. There may be six candidates from six parties but there are two solitudes. There is Strahl locally—and Stephen Harper nationally—and then there are the others, which too often are hard to differentiate between. Even Libertarian Johnson deferred to the articulate and intelligent musings of perennial Marxist-Leninist candidate O’Donnell. Yes, the Libertarian and the Communist.

Things may well be more even in Chilliwack than ever before. Campaigners inside both the NDP and the Liberal camps say informal polling they do on the doorstep tells them their parties are not only in the race, but they are ahead.

Six months ago I spoke with Uni-versity of the Fraser Valley political science professor Hamish Telford about the perceived changing demographics in Chilliwack. At that time, he agreed there is a shift in the Fraser Valley as populations increase, and people move to the area from all over. But enough to unseat one of the most solid Con-servative seats in the country?

“I think this is a process that will unfold over decades rather than months,” Telford said in April.

But that was then, this is now. The most recent (Oct. 11) projections done by ThreeHundredEight.com for ridings across Canada, here in Chilliwack-Hope, show Conserva-tives at 43.6 per cent, Liberals at 26.2 per cent, NDP at 21.5 per cent and Greens at 7.9 per cent.

If that is how the vote actually turns out, in some districts it would be called a landslide. Here, not so much. Consider that in 2011 Strahl garnered more than 57 per cent of the vote, the NDP’s Gwen O’Maho-ny got 26 per cent and Liberal Diane Janzen a lowly 11 per cent.

And that was before a riding realignment, one that actually should favour Strahl since it took out parts of the Fraser Canyon that traditionally vote more for the NDP or Liberals.

But all the polls and analysis in the world mean nothing if voters don’t turn up, or if they turn up and do something unexpected.

Just ask Adrian Dix about what happened two-and-a-half years ago. No pollster predicted the BC Liber-als would beat the NDP in the 2013 provincial election at all, yet alone winning by five points.

Does that 2013 election have a lesson for us here federally in 2015? Could voters rise up and defy the predicted Conservative win in Chil-liwack-Hope? Or maybe 2013 was about cold feet: Pollsters measured an appetite for change day after day, but at the polls, voters went with more of the same?

We’ll see on Monday.

› Election GuideQuestion #10If you are successful in your bid to

be our local MP but your party has no mandate to form government in what ways can you continue to be our voice to Ottawa and get things done?

Thomas Cheney - GreenThe Green Party believes in work-

ing with other parties. It is not in the country’s interest to play politics by blocking good ideas. I will vote based on local feedback and the evidence, not the party whip. I also believe that committee work plays a major role in developing good public policy. My skills in climate policy and interest in electoral reform would be quite useful in addressing our democratic deficit and climate change. I would greatly appreciate the ability to advance elec-toral reform, fix the climate crisis by pricing carbon and advance shared prosperity by introducing public debt-free money. I believe that Parliament should be restored to its original old French meaning of “talking place” rather than the “place of hyper-parti-san venom”. Parties are not infallible, that is why we have a Parliament to critique, and if necessary, block bad legislation and public policy.

Louis De Jaeger _ LiberalFrom business to the boardroom

I have the experience of working cooperatively with many leaders in our community. Having already established those relationships I will work to build new partnerships across Canada to bring forward the concerns of Chilliwack and Hope. I have the skills to bring new solutions to old problems. I can draw on my many years in business and my abili-ty to build on common ground.

My priorities would include new infrastructure money; we still have communities that are not protected from flooding. Our social infrastruc-ture has been weakened by a decade of neglect; we need social housing. We do not have a health accord with the federal government and our vet-erans are still without proper care. The status quo is unacceptable.

Alexander Johnson - LibertarianI think as an MP you need to rep-

resent the people who voted for you. If that means voting with Conserva-tives when Chilliwack-Hope aligns with the right and the NDP or Lib-erals when Chilliwack-Hope aligns more left, the party shouldn’t matter. Our next MP’s vote should always be the voice of this district.

Seonaigh MacPherson - NDPAs your MP, I’ll continue to be a

strong presence in the community, as I have demonstrated during this

very long campaign (since December, 2014). I’ll continue to speak honestly and clearly to you through social media, my blog, and directly concern-ing policy implications as they unfold in Ottawa. I look forward to improving the communication lines between Chilliwack-Hope and the federal gov-ernment.

Also, I look forward to co-operating with other parties to re-invest in key social programs to support healthcare, youth employment and childcare in

an equitable manner while exercising fiscal prudence. Fair taxation is part of that prudence. As a specialist in employment skills and workplace training, I see myself assuming a lead-ership role in the programs proposed by all parties to address skills develop-ment and apprenticeship programs to help youth, First Nations, and the unemployed participate equally in the good fortunes of Canada.

Dorothy-Jean O’Donnell - Marxist-Leninist

I do not expect to be elected on Oct. 19, and my party currently has no MPs in Ottawa. We have an online publication Renewal Update, and a website mlpc.ca which provide information and analysis on matters concerning Canadians.

Democratic renewal is a non-par-tisan issue and people from different parties are concerned with how to empower Canadians and break the stranglehold that the cartel parties currently have on power in Canada.

Our objective in this election is to defeat Harper and ensure the Liberals as well are held in check. Liberal and Conservative parties have alternated in power in Canada for a century and a half. We say that people should occupy the space for change and push forward their own demands, like veterans have done. Dairy farmers here and across the country, auto workers and others are in action against the Transpacific Partnership. We need to Stop TPP.

Mark Strahl - ConservativeAs a Conservative MP under a

Conservative government, I have

Dylan Putz (left) and Josh Guretzki, both in Grade 8 vote in a mock election at Chilliwack middle school Tuesday at lunch time. Pedro Zullo, the teacher who organized the event open to all 557 students in the school, sees the exercise as “a good foundation for a strong democracy in our future.”

See QUESTION #10, page A21


› Election GuideQuestion #11What in your view are

the most important issues this election, as they relate to Chilliwack-Hope?

Thomas Cheney - GreenThe most important

issues this election are restoring shared prosper-ity, ensuring an effective democracy and fixing climate change. To protect the economy, we need to ensure the innovation of the market while ensur-ing economic security. This requires revisiting free trade, investing in infrastructure and intro-ducing public banking while igniting the clean energy revolution. To enhance our democracy we need to unchain MPs from whipped votes and introduce proportional representation. To fix climate change, we need to stop new pipelines and phase out fossil fuels, saving thousands of lives from reduced air pollution and increased geopolitical stability. It is also vital that we have an economy-wide wide carbon price to make polluters pay. Carbon pricing is some of the most competitive global economies showing that climate action is not an undue economic burden. The Green Party believes in pragmatic and effective solutions that will make Canada work again

Louis De Jaeger - LiberalDrawing from my

extensive business leader-ship, my experience with First Nations and Metis groups, both provincially and nationally, and my community involvement, my important issues in this election are the fol-lowing: Chilliwack-Hope has missed out on many opportunities due to a lack of presence and engagement from our current MP. His inter-action with this com-munity has been largely through photo-ops. We have had MPs that have shone on the national and international stage, but after the last four years it’s clear that Mark Strahl cannot reach that level.

Chilliwack-Hope still has chronic infrastruc-ture issues, a family wage that is still below the national average, and poor relations with our First Nations neighbours, and yet our MP is out of touch. We can and must do better. Chilli-wack-Hope deserves representation that puts the prosperity of Chil-liwack-Hope first and foremost.

Alexander Johnson - Lib-ertarian

Property rights and low taxes are the biggest issues to me.

Property rights because

many issues including the environment and personal liberties can be solved and restored by acknowledging a person’s full ownership of the land above and below the soil.

Lower taxes to free the burden of the federal gov-ernment from the lives of peaceful Canadians just looking to live their lives without interfering with anyone else.

Seonaigh MacPherson - NDP

Healthcare – The Con-servatives allowed the health accord to lapse, thereby withdrawing $36 billion from healthcare. The College of Family Physicians of Canada rat-ed the NDP’s healthcare platform as the best of all parties.

Affordable, accessible childcare – Chilliwack and Hope experience some of the highest rates of vulnerable children in B.C. The NDP is the only party to promise to invest significantly in access to affordable childcare.

Housing and home-lessness – The NDP has committed to enacting the Affordable Housing Act that includes funding for 10,000 low-rent units.

Training and employ-ment opportunities – The NDP commits to 40,000 co-op and intern-ship positions for youth among other initiatives.

The environment – The NDP will introduce an Environmental Bill of Rights, fix the envi-ronmental assessment process, protect salmon, work with provinces to address climate change and implement a green energy plan.

Fiscal responsibility – Fair taxation, balanced budgets and stimulus spending—only the NDP combine these three.

Dorothy-Jean O’Donnell - Marxist-Leninist

Democratic renewal of the political process, renewal of the economy and an anti-war gov-ernment. People need mechanisms to hold their MP to account. The economy needs renewal, so people control their own future. Get Canada out of NATO.

The Liberals talk about infrastructure, but who will own this infrastruc-ture, will it be under pub-lic authority and will the workers have Canadian level wages? The TransPa-cific Partnership may be a done deal by Oct. 19. This deal will devastate dairy farmers, autoworkers and others. We need to stop the TPP and defend sup-ply management for dairy farmers and others in the agricultural sector.

People need to mobi-lize their friends and

co-workers, youth and students to go vote on Oct. 19—push their own demands whether it be for daycare, restoration of veteran services, for the defence of public service workers and public ser-vices.

For democratic renew-al, vote Marxist-Leninist!

Mark Strahl - ConservativeProtecting the econo-

my through lower taxes and balanced budgets; protecting our commu-nities by cracking down on crime; and protecting Canadians by taking a strong, principled stand in the fight against ter-rorism are this election’s

most important issues. You work hard for your

money. The Liberals and NDP have promised to raise your taxes, leaving less money in your pock-et. Only a re-elected Con-servative government will protect your paycheque and keep taxes low. And only a re-elected Conser-

vative government will protect income splitting and benefits for seniors and families with chil-dren.

Canadians expect the criminal justice sys-tem to keep them and their communities safe. Only a re-elected Con-servative government

will continue to put the rights of victims ahead of the rights of criminals, and only a Conservative government will take the threat of terrorism seriously.

On Oct. 19, vote Con-servative to protect our economy and keep Can-ada safe and strong.

According to Remodeling magazine’s “2014 Cost vs. Value Report,” a major kitchen remodeling project should

enable homeowners to recoup 74.2 per cent of their initial investments.

Kitchen renovations have long been a safe way to improve the functionality and value of a home. But not every kitchen project is a guaranteed winner. Homeowners may inadvertently make changes that end up sticking out like a sore thumb rather than improving the space. Take a look at these kitchen remodeling dos and don’ts to guide your next undertaking.DO consider the way your kitchen

will look with the rest of the home. Keep architectural integrity in mind when designing the space. A farmhouse sink and country cabinets can look out of place in an ultra-modern home.DON’T overlook the importance of a

seasoned designer or architect. These pros will know the tricks to maximizing space and achieving the ideal layout of appliances and may be able to recom-mend local contractors and vendors.DO look beyond surface details to the

structural integrity of the design. The kitchen should be functional, long-last-

ing and beautiful.DON’T design just for today, but look

to the future as well. Unless you are willing to spend $50,000 every five years, look for styles and materials that will last for the long haul. Older homeowners

may want to make adjustments now that address potential mobili-ty issues down the road.DO work with what you have.

A complete demolition and reno-vation is not always necessary to achieve the desired results. Only invest in major changes if some-thing is not working (such as having to walk across the entire kitchen to access the stove) or is unsafe.

Otherwise, minor upgrades may do the trick.DON’T over-improve the space. A

fully equipped commercial kitchen may be handy for a professional chef, but the average person may not need an industrial hood and indoor pizza oven. When you make excessive improvements, you may not be able to recoup as much of the

money spent because your home will not be on par with the values of homes in the neighborhood.DO make sure you can afford the

project. Plan for some unexpected purchases and plan out the reno-vation according to your budget. Skimping on materials or design because of lack of money may leave you feeling dissatisfied afterward.

› At Home

Don’t over-improve the space REMODEL, from page A22

When homeowners think about renovating their properties, many first

need to secure some funding to finance such projects. Some may tap into the equity of their homes by refinancing an existing mort-gage, while others may apply for home equity loans. Taking the lat-ter approach may require certain steps, including an assessment of how much the home and property is worth.

Home appraisals compare your home to neighbouring properties to determine your home’s current market value. Homeowners can facilitate the process by having cer-tain information readily available for the appraiser. When prepar-ing for appraisers, homeowners should consider and collect the following information: If your home was built on the largest lot in the community. If you have made signifi-cant upgrades since it was last appraised, such as installing a new roof or siding. Don’t overlook smaller renovations, like extra insulation added or sealing drafty windows, which can increase a home’s value. Proof that you have used sustain-able resources or if you participat-ed in any energy-savings programs.

Naturally, any expansion proj-ects, such as adding another bed-room or extending the footprint of the home, should be mentioned.

A real estate appraiser is a certi-

fied, licensed professional who will do his or her best to determine the value of your home. The appraisal provides banks with information that can tell loan officers if the house is worth the loan amount. Expect to pay a fee for the apprais-al, which is generally included in your closing costs.

The appraiser gathers informa-tion for the appraisal report from a number of sources, but the pro-cess often begins with a physical inspection of the property, both inside and out. He or she also will compare your home against a few others in the neighbourhood, which are known as comparables, or comps. Appraisals will be based on recent prices of comparable properties as well as other factors.

Apart from the improvements done to the home, there are oth-er ways to get a higher appraisal amount. The appraiser may con-sider the overall maintenance of the home and property. It is wise to

consider curb appeal and ensure the home is clean and maintained when the appraiser arrives. Minor repairs or common mainte-nance can impress the appraiser. Removing clutter and cleaning up the home’s interior can make the home appear larger, possibly increasing its value as a result.

It may be worth it to invest some more money into the property before having an appraisal done. A study sponsored by the Nation-al Association of Realtors says wood floors, landscaping and an enclosed garage can lead to a more favorable appraisal.

An appraiser will spend roughly 30 minutes in a home. Try to give that person space to do his or her job. Following the appraiser around during an inspection can raise a red flag that something is wrong with the house that you don’t want to be seen. Turn lights on throughout the house, make sure the heating or cooling system is functioning at full capacity and keep pets locked away. Move items that can impede access to base-ments or attics.

An accurate assessment of the value of your home will give banks the information they need to deter-mine loan amounts for future ren-ovation projects.

Providing background infor-mation on the home and having a well-maintained property can improve the chances of a favour-able appraisal.

Make the most of home appraisal

Secrets to keeping an organized shedDespite other intentions,

homeowners often turn their garages into storage centres

for random, little-used items, leaving little to no room for the tools and even vehicles that actually belong in a garage. Such homeowners may turn to sheds to store their garage overflow and keep yard equipment at the ready, but storage sheds are not immune to clutter, and home-owners may find the very structure erected to keep them organized requires a bit of organization itself.

A well-organized shed can save homeowners time and energy, as it’s easy to abandon or delay a project if you can’t find that pair of work gloves you stashed. The first step to any organizing project is to take everything out of the shed and deter-mine just what needs to go back in. Items that do not belong in the shed should be moved to their rightful locations or tossed in the trash if they’re no longer needed. Make a pile of anything that will be kept, a separate one for donations and a third for garbage. Take inventory of what you have so you know whether you’re missing any items or you have something and do not need to pur-chase another.

Now that the entire shed is emp-ty, you can assess just how much room you have. Utilizing vertical and overhead space effectively can free up areas on the floor for larger equipment.

Shelving, racks, pegboards and any other materials that enable you to hang or store items off the floor are

good investments. Visit your nearby home improvement retailer to find items that can simplify your storage. You also may be able to put scrap wood to use to make your own stor-age shelves or a work bench. Extra kitchen cabinets can be installed in the shed to organize additional items.

In order to remember where items go, label or sort them accordingly. Some people like to take organi-zation a step further by tracing the outline of tools hung on the wall so they can be placed back in the same spot after use. This also serves as a visual reminder of which tools are missing and which ones need to be purchased.

Don’t forget to utilize shed doors as additional storage space. Hang fre-quently used tools, such as rakes and shovels, on the inside of the doors so they will always be easily accessible.

You also can repurpose storage

solutions designed for other areas of the home. For example, magnetic knife holders can be mounted to a shed wall to keep paintbrushes organized. These holders also can be used to keep many small metal tools tidy. Metal funnels can hold twine and string. Thread through the narrow end of the funnel for a handy dispenser.

Keep dangerous substances off the floor and out of reach. Gasoline, chemical fertilizers and other poten-tially dangerous substances should be stored high up to keep pets and children safe.

Make sure the shed floor is sturdy and level. This makes it easier to neatly store larger items. Roll in the lawnmower, wheelbarrow and any other cumbersome items. Now that more things are mounted vertically, you should find that you have more area to move around.

Hanging items vertically frees up more space in a shed or garage.

Grizz down ‘Wolves for first winThe No. 1-ranked G.W. Graham Grizzlies AA varsity team started its regular football season at Rob-ert Bateman secondary last Friday with a 21-14 win over their host-ing Timberwolves. Graham quar-terback Gabe Olivares threw 14 of 26 passes for 213 yards including a 55-yarder to Baker Douglas for a touchdown. Douglas ended the game with five catches and 103 yards, while his teammate Emer-son Smith caught eight times for 92 yards. Von Richardson and Jordon Breuker also scored TDs for the Grizzlies. G.W. linebacker Tristan Davis had six tackles and an interception while defensive end Jake Troyan and tackle Jamie Bessette each had two QB sacks. Abbotsford’s Bateman was com-ing off a victory over AA no. 4 ranked Holy Cross of Surrey (who in turn had beaten No. 1 Abbots-ford the week before). GWG had one win and one loss (and one win by forfeit) in exhibition play going into that game, and now stand at 1-0 in the season. The local squad returns to Chilliwack Oct. 16 to host Rick Hansen at 7:30 p.m. at Exhibition Stadium for game two of 2015.

UFV hoops team goes 1-2The University of the Fraser Val-ley women’s basketball squad dropped two matches and won their last game last weekend at the Cougar Classic, a pre-sea-

son tournament hosted by the University of Regina. Thursday the UFV women lost 92-58 to the Saskatchewan Huskies, took another defeat (86-48) Friday from the Regina Cougars, but came back on the final day of the tournament to beat the Guelph Gryphons 69-53. Thursday saw a Chilliwack lineup scoring big for the Cascades against Saskatch-ewan with Shayna Cameron (13 points) Kaitlyn McDonald (11) and Kayli Sartori (10) all posting double digits for UFV. In Fri-day’s loss to the hosting Regina Cougars, Cameron paced the Cascades with 17 points, while Sartori chipped in with 14 points over the game. And in their win versus Guelph on Saturday, Sydney Williams, a guard out of Langley’s Brookswood second-ary, drilled six three-pointers en route to a game-high 21 points. Chilliwack’s McDonald came off the UFV bench to post 11 points (including 3-for-3 from the three-point line) for her contribution. The Cascades’ felt the loss of three injured veterans from their lineup, meaning the starting team was comprised of players who weren’t on the squad last season. Up next

for the Cascades is an exhibition game at home versus the Van-couver Island University Mariners next Friday, Oct. 16 at 6 p.m.

Sardis secondary’s senior cross-country boys team defends the Fraser Valley

championship this year with a veteran team.

The X factor is afootBY GREG LAYCHAK

[email protected]

Cross-country running is a tough sell.

So says Sardis secondary coach Alison Fitzsimmons as she watches her team warm up in the rain last week at Watson Glen Park.

But over a dozen students from the defending Fraser Valley (FV) championship Falcons gathered after school to compete against their teammates in a last-minute inter-squad race organized when an Island 22 race was suddenly cancelled.

“This is a completely different breed of kid,” Fitzsimmons says. “These guys have a lot of character, a lot of grit.”

Competing with boys soccer, girls field hockey and volleyball, the student athletes who sign up for cross-country are putting them-selves through a different kind of punishment, she says.

Fitzsimmons and co-coach Chad Hipwell see a motivated and men-tally strong group of students who are coming back for more this year, as they prepare to defend their FV title.

Last year’s regional win was the first in a while for the boys, most of whom are returning in their Grade 12 year.

And they are backed up by a cou-ple of strong new Grade 10 athletes, so Fitzsimmons and Hipwell say their experienced team has a good chance of a repeat at FVs this year.

“Competition’s different every year so it’s hard to tell until you get out there,” says Fitzsimmons who has coached the team for almost 10

years. “Some schools are skinny in the Grade 12s like we were last year, and sometimes they might have a lot of veterans.”

Schools like Walnut Grove—who had strong juniors last year mov-ing up into the senior team this year—make it a hard race to call at this point, Hipwell points out.

But he thinks his team definite-ly has the talent to deliver that FV win and a better-than-10th ranking in the provincial competition (Sardis senior boys’ place in last year’s B.C. tourna-ment).

Though the runners might seem in competition with other teams and clubs for athletes, the coach-es say there are some members who also play basketball and other sports.

“A lot of the kids are cross-training for other sports,” says Hipwell, him-self a former track and cross-coun-try runner for the Falcons who often runs with his team during practice.

But at this 6.7-kilometre race he stands with Fitzsimmons while they comment on the leading pack and runners’ strengths and persistence, occasionally clapping and yelling encouragement as athletes pass by.

At the Fraser Valley competition later this month the first five across the line are the scoring runners for each team, with no size limits per school.

But things change at the provin-c i a l s , w h e n a predetermined seven athletes are declared for entry by each squad and only those selected can race.

The Falcons’ numbers are a lit-tle thin this year, but the group as a whole has a lot of experience

packed into that tighter lineup.In this spontaneous run in the

rain, the grit and character of these athletes is on display.

A tough sell it might be, but for the Sardis senior boys cross-country team there’s a title to defend.

The next cross-country race for Sardis is the Big Rock Aldergrove at Aldergrove Lake Park on Oct.15, followed by the following week’s “Pre-Fraser Valleys” at Crescent Park, South Surrey. The Fraser Val-leys are on Oct. 28, also at Crescent Park and the B.C. Championships are at Jericho Beach Park in Van-couver. Visit www.bcxc.ca for more information about the provincial race.

You never really know what you’ll be facing in the rugged world of high school cross-country running

“This is a completely diff erent breed of

kid. These guys have a lot of character, a

lot of grit.”- Alison Fitzsimmons

showtime If you goNashiville Hurricane: Oct. 22, 25 and 26 at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. Call 604-391-SHOW(7469) or visit chilliwackculturalcentre.ca for ticket info.

He’s back! The master of virtuosity in every sense of the word, from acting to

comedy to musical mastery, Chase Padgett returns to Chilliwack Cul-tural Centre this October with his whirlwind of country fingerpickin’ fury Nashville Hurricane.

After a spectacular barnstorming of Chilliwack with his wonderful 6 Guitars in The Centre last season, Padgett will be bringing the mys-terious tale of the best damned guitarist you’ve never heard of to life on Oct. 22, 25 & 26.

Packed with hickory-smoked tunes, storytelling flair, and a series of characters with more quirks and anecdotes than you could imagine Nashville Hurricane is the next step in Padgett’s inimitable and unfor-gettable style of fringe theatre. Performing to sold-out crowds at the Winnipeg, Edmonton, and Vancouver Fringe Festivals, as well as receiving rave reviews from everybody from CBC to his

audience members, with Nashville Hurricane Padgett has cranked up the dynamism, poignancy, and sheer side-splitting hilarity of 6 Guitars – resulting in a show that fulfils every wish you could have for a fringe theatre show.

“Two things inspired me to write Nashville” Padgett reveals of the show’s origins. “First, I wanted to take the same elements that were successful with 6 Guitars—the music, the characters, the comedy, and use them to tell a single story from start to finish. Second, I was really into Tommy Emmanuel, an incredible acoustic guitarist who sounds like a one-man orchestra. His Chet Atkins inspired music feels like a force of nature. So com-bine force of nature with country finger picking and you get Nash-ville Hurricane.”

Described as “a marvel of sto-

rytelling, the audience leapt to a standing ovation”, Nashville Hurri-cane isn’t just a hybrid of comedic character acting and virtuoso guitar playing, it’s an experience that resonates with audiences per-sonally, as well as comically and musically.

“It connects with people because it’s a human story about discover-ing who you really are, what you really want, and what it’s going to take to get there” Padgett said. “It’s a journey anyone can relate too. It just so happens to have some kick ass guitar playing in it.”

The journey Padgett speaks of begins with humble trailer park beginnings, before unravelling sto-ry of the turbulent rise and demise of a guitar prodigy known only as the Nashville Hurricane. Featuring anecdotes from the young stars’ mentor, mother, manager and oth-

ers, a narrative unfolds that weaves outrageous comedy seamlessly into heart-warming tenderness, an approach Chase says captures both his personality and the imagina-tions of the audience.

“Many of the stories are pulled from my own life, and sometimes they can still be a little scary to reveal even when told through a character,” Padgett said. “However, after I first premiered the show I saw how people reacted to these moments and I discovered the real power of vulnerability as an artist. At a certain point an audience wants to know what makes you tick and expressing your fears or shortcomings not only endears the audience to you but also makes the comedy jump out and hit much harder. We see that kind of contrast in other things too. Why do they put salt in candy? To make the

sweetness pop out.” And of course it’s impossible to

even think about Nashville Hurri-cane without a mention of the cen-tre-piece around which the story is built—the unbelievable, unfor-gettable, and downright unearthly guitar playing of the Nashville Hurricane, brought to stage by the incredible Padgett.

“My favorite thing about Nash-ville is the storytelling,” Padgett said. “But also, while the show only features four songs, they are harder than anything I do in 6 Guitars. Trust me, it’s no easy feat to pull off “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” by myself.”

Pick up a ticket for Nashville Hurricane which hits The Centre stage Oct. 22, 25 and 26. Tickets are $25 and are available at The Centre Box Office, visit www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca or call 604-391-SHOW(7469) for more information.

BY MARK ALLEN

Special to the Times

Murray McLauchlan fans are in for a treat in the Fraser Valley because he got “ant-

sy” recently.He hasn’t released an album since

2012’s Human Writes and McLauch-lan, who will perform Oct. 24 at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre, is itching to play those songs.

“A lot of people haven’t heard me play those songs because I didn’t tour much in Canada after that,” he said in a phone interview from Ontario. “I found other things to do with my life, and I didn’t feel like going on the road.”

Being managed by tour produc-tion company Shantero Productions in Toronto means the scheduling of his tours is much more humane than in the early days.

“We do one after the other and the distances are logical, and it won’t kill you,” he chuckles.

Besides playing under his own name, the 11-time Juno Award win-ner and Order of Canada recipient still performs in Lunch at Allen’s with Marc Jordan, Cindy Church and Ian Thomas.

“We’re still quite active on the concert circuit,” McLauchlan said of the quartet, which performed at the 2011 Filberg Festival in Comox. “We

do on the average about 20 shows a year.”

The band’s name came from the Toronto restaurant where they met as McLauchlan recuperated from a harrowing, and ironic, 2004 medical mishap that led to quadruple heart bypass surgery.

“I had to have major heart sur-gery because I went for a diagnostic test and they screwed it up and just about killed me. They were looking to see if there was any evidence of heart disease . . . they tore my cor-onary artery.”

Before he began his three-decade, 18-album music career, McLauchlan was born in Paisley, Scotland, mov-ing with his parents to Canada when he was five.

Has Scotland influenced his music?

“The early influences of when I was a kid at new year’s listening to (traditional Scottish musician) Jim-my Shand and different Scottish bands, yeah, I think it does come out from time to time, although less so now.”

Besides music, McLauchlan’s other interests include painting and flying aircraft, although he doesn’t pilot planes anymore. His one-word response explains his passion for both.

Existentialism.“When you’re flying or when

you’re doing martial arts, which I’ve also been involved with most of my life, or when you’re painting, you’re in the moment.

“Your brain isn’t chattering about what you did or what you’re going to do . . . it calms down that chatter in your inner self because you have to deal with the moment.”

When he appears at the Centre, McLauchlan will be accompanied by bassist Victor Bateman. His abil-ity to bow as well as play rhythmi-cally, McLauchlan explains, gives an orchestral feel to songs like “Whis-pering Rain” and some songs from Human Writes.

Besides playing some tunes from that album, which scored well on U.S. Cashbox Roots charts and was played extensively in the U.K. and Europe as well as Australia, McLauchlan assures longtime fans that he will play old favourites.

They include “Farmer’s Song,” “Down By the Henry Moore,” “Spring Rain” and “Child’s Song.”

An Evening in Concert with Mur-ray McLauchlan is set for Oct. 24 at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. Reserved seating tickets are $42 to $46 (depending on facility fees and service charges, tax incl.), are on sale now and are available from the The Box Office by calling 604-391-7469. Showtime is 7:30 p.m.

The Harrison Festival Soci-ety will present the colourful dance performance Viñetas

del Mozaico, at Harrison’s Memorial Hall on Saturday, Oct. 24, at 8 p.m. A production of Vancouver’s Mozaico Flamenco Dance Theatre, the show will also feature a special opening solo dance performance by internationally renowned dancer Joel Hanna

“Over the years, the Harrison Festival has presented several won-derful flamenco shows,” says the society’s artistic director Andy Hill-house. “This will be a seamless pre-sentation that offers a multicultural take on flamenco, which is a much loved, exciting style of Spanish dance that has roots in the Indian subcon-tinent and North Africa. Viñetas del Mozaico is a unique production that has been an audience hit wherever it has been performed.”

Directed by dancer Kasandra “La China,” Viñetas del Mozaico showcases twelve dynamic dance vignettes accompanied by world percussionists. It includes new belly dance/flamenco fusion pieces per-formed by one of Vancouver’s fore-most belly dancers, Ashley Kirkham. The show celebrates virtuosity and expression, through the use of Span-ish castanets and zills, Chinese fans

and silk veils, Sevillan shawls, and rapid-fire footwork.

According to Hillhouse, “I love dance, however we are limited in the styles of dance we can present in this hall, due to the size of the stage. The beauty of flamenco is it is less about moving across space, and more about the intensity, tension, and pas-sion in footwork, body postures and even subtle gestures like changes in hand movements. These can be powerful in more intimate spaces like the Memorial Hall.”

Viñetas del Mozaico foregrounds flamenco percussion through the

virtuosic cajon (wooden box) play-ing of Davide Sampaolo from Rome, Italy. The cajon is contrasted in the show with the darbouka drum, the traditional accompaniment for belly dance, played by Vancouver’s Tim Gerwing.

The audience will also be treated at the beginning of the evening to a special solo by well known perform-er Joel Hanna. Known for his athletic and boundary breaking mixture of tap dance, musical percussion, mar-tial arts, and Irish dance, Hanna has toured with Riverdance and Feet of Fire, and has performed at London’s West End, Radio City Music Hall, and the Royal Variety Performance.

Viñetas del Mozaico imagines a varied cultural mixture. It expands the Spanish context to include influ-ences from some surprisingly diverse sources. Each piece showcases a new inspiration, a new exploration, and a new interpretation of flamen-co artistry. This unique performance promises to transport audiences to a magical, imaginative place where anything can happen. Tickets are $22 and can be pur-chased online at www.harrisonfes-tivalofthearts.com or by phone at 604-796-3664 or in person at Agassiz Shoppers Drug Mart.

Wonder and Delight Meets Cool Cabaret SettingWorld Famous Shawn Farquhar Conjures Magic at Cabaret of Wonders!

Tickets available at: The Centre Box Office 604.391.SHOW

or visit the website at: www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca

A night of unmatched entertainment and cool casual atmosphere awaits you with Shawn Farquhar’s Cabaret of Wonders! Beginning on October 30, 2015, this series of up-close-and-personal shows will feature an electrifying range of magical entertainers in a fantastic cabaret format, breaking down the barriers between audience and performer in a show that intensifies magic’s innate wonder and delight!

You’ll be amazed and astounded as world-class entertainers unfold mind-bending illusions before your very eyes – and with Shawn and his magical entourage offering four diverse performances throughout 2015/16, this is the opportunity to experience the extraordinary from the very beginning! Make sure to be a part of magical history and buy a ticket today! Curated by the globally-acclaimed Shawn Farquhar; the only magician in history to have won both first place for Sleight of Hand and Stage Magic at the World Magic Championships (and a local boy, coming all the way from Maple Ridge!), the Cabaret of Wonders is a truly unique celebration of magic’s unparalleled ability to inspire and entertain. And after bringing his craft to audiences around the world, from month-long tours of Malaysia and Germany to opening for the renowned Penn & Teller at their world-famous Las Vegas show, Shawn decided to construct a platform from which emerging magicians can follow in his footsteps here in the region he calls home. “In the past few years I have seen a number of venues popping up in place like Edinburgh, New York and Chicago that offer a place for professional magicians to work as a team” says Shawn, “but I wanted The Cabaret of Wonders to be more. A place where not only professional magicians from around the globe could come to play, but where less established magicians could have an opportunity to perform alongside the best and learn from them too.” And excitingly, Shawn’s magical companions for the very first Cabaret

of Wonders will be another pair of British Columbia’s magical masterminds, Billy Hsueh and Alex Seaman! After both building reputations as premier entertainers in Vancouver and beyond with their distinct approaches to comedy magic, these two emerging magicians

will bring their own brand of charismatic and captivating entertainment to the fun. With Alex being President of the Vancouver Magical Circle and Billy having won a long array of awards for creativity, showmanship, and close up magic, this pair are sure to invigorate the opening show of the Cabaret with energy and flair – and offer a thrilling insight into the Lower Mainland’s enormous magical talent! There could be no better way to experience the amazing spectacle of live magic than Shawn Farquhar’s Cabaret of Wonders; a series that promises to be overflowing with passion, wonder, and matchless cabaret ambience. Whether you’re a magic enthusiast, searching for an evening of world-class entertainment, or even a hardened cynic to the fun and thrill of magic, this show is sure to have you on the edge of your seat (and picking up tickets for the next three installments!) So come down to The Centre on October 30, 2015 and sit back, relax, and soak up the incredible atmosphere of Shawn Farquhar’s Cabaret of Wonders! Tickets are available from The Centre Box Office at 604-391-SHOW(7469) or from www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca – make sure to grab them before they disappear! Shawn Farquhar’s Cabaret of Wonders is generously sponsored by: Bathe Plumbing, Prime Signs, Chilliwack Times, City of Chilliwack, British Columbia Arts Council, Province of British Columbia, and the Department of Canadian Heritage.

After taking a year-long break from pre senting l ive

professional dance, The Chilliwack Arts & Cul-tural Centre Society is thrilled to bring more vibrant, captivating, and boundary-pushing art to the community, with Rainbow Dance Theatre presenting the eclectic, exhilarating, and intellec-tually engaging Mixed Bag on Oct. 23.

A var ie d rep er tor y dance show compiling three inspirational chore-ographies into one com-pelling, enchanting, and uniquely resourceful pre-sentation, Mixed Bag will astound you with its ability to tackle some of society’s most profound questions while presenting live dance in an innovative and poignant way.

This show doesn’t sim-ply comprise three dispa-rate choreographies, from beginning to end Mixed Bag flows with a theme of interconnectedness, humanity and our role in the universe, and accord-ing to Rainbow Dance Theatre’s Artistic Director Valerie Bergman, begins at the perfect point: the uni-verse’s origins.

“The first piece present-ed is named Higgs Boson” Bergman reveals, “and is an artistic reflection on the initial creative spark that began it all. It artistically plays with the strange bal-ance within us of physical abstraction (how we are each just a collection of atomic particles which are constantly interchanging with all else in our envi-ronment) and personal construct (that which we call the self ), and how each element, the abstract and the personal, are no less real because of the other.”

Bold in their embrace of complex subject matter as well as their approach to their art form, Rainbow Dance Theatre’s next piece reflects the delicate devel-opment of life on Earth through an innovative cre-ative development of their own.

“The next piece, Big Bang, is a lovely and whimsical treatment of the evolution of life on Earth” Bergman said. “It begins in a mysterious dark sea where the simplest of life forms emerge, continuing on through a procession of ever more complex life forms which are created by

the dancers through RDT’s signature partnering style where two, three and even four dancers merge to form creatures inhabiting the evolving landscape of life forms.”

The creative and cos-

mic energy of the show’s first half will expand as Rainbow Dance The-atre flow into the show’s incredible climax, with the final piece demon-strating the conscience and message of the show.

“The work ends with an explosive final section set in an over-populated city of today” concludes Bergman. “Mixed Bag continues humanity’s journey with a humor-ous yet poignant look at

today’s global commu-nity irreparably altered by the developed world’s ‘disposable’ society—a way of life which must be transformed if we are to sustain life as we know it on our planet earth.”

B r i n g i n g t h e m e s -sage of this piece to life, Rainbow Dance Theatre transforms the stage in the most resourceful of ways, utilizing garbage bags, plastic bottles, and the kind of things that we toss in the trash with-out thinking. The show demonstrates a genuine artistic integrity, bringing its message into the very structure and aesthetic of the choreography. Grace-ful animals, unbelievable landscapes, and striking costumes made from plastic bags will grace the stage, and it will all

come together to make you contemplate modern society in a way you nev-er thought dance could.

A l l t h i s a n d m o r e awaits you with Mixed Bag, an astounding work of dance that pushes the boundaries of what the art form can be, incor-porating technology, social awareness, and the human body to envision the future both creative-ly and conceptually. To get in on Rainbow Dance Theatre’s cosmic journey, book your tickets today.

Tickets are $35 for adults, $32 for seniors and $30 for students and are available at The Cen-tre Box Office, visit www.chilliwackculturalcen-tre.ca or call 604-391-SHOW(7469) for more information.
