Cheam’s ‘toxic landfill’ a greater threatBY PAUL J. HENDERSON

[email protected]

In response to a wave of social media frustration about coun-cil’s approval of a hazardous waste recycling facility, Mayor

Sharon Gaetz has deflected concern to the “toxic landfill” of a local First Nation band.

Ontario-based Aevitas asked coun-cil to rezone a property on the Cat-termole Lands from heavy industrial to special industrial to allow for the plant that, each month, will recycle 5,000 litres of transformer oil con-taining PCBs and 500,000 lamps con-

taining mercury.After a public hearing, council vot-

ed unanimously to rezone the prop-erty for the recycling plant. A number of people spoke against the facility, mostly because of its proximity to the Fraser River.

Sto:lo Tribal Council fisheries advisor Ernie Crey, who has recent-ly been elected to the Cheam First Nation band council, asked city council at the Dec. 3 public hearing

to defer the decision to allow First Nations, who were unaware of the application, to respond.

Gaetz told Crey she was glad he mentioned Cheam and suggested he could sit down with the city to talk about his band’s landfill.

O n Dec. 5 , on Facebook, in response to comments and ques-tions from The WaterWealth Project campaign director Sheila Muxlow, Gaetz said Muxlow was making

“incorrect” statements.“I would encourage her to work

with Cheam band to clean up their toxic landfill which is on the edge of the Fraser River,” Gaetz wrote. “This is far more dangerous to our waters than a recycling operation.”

Crey later told the Times that he has plans to meet with Cheam pro-fessional staff to be briefed on the site of the landfill. He said he has been told a “highly reputable” environ-

mental consulting firm has found no issues with the site.

For many years the Cheam landfill has periodically been the subject of speculation and allegations regard-ing toxic materials being dumped.

Crey suggested that if there were problems, they are in the past.

“The mayor’s appreciation of the landfill may be dated,” Crey said. “I do trust that everyone knows that the landfill site is no longer operating.”

In response to other criticism and comments about the proposed recy-cling facility, Gaetz was quick on

A Chilliwack man arrest-ed during a drug raid at the Trader’s Inn down-

town in October was sentence to one year in jail last month for drug trafficking.

Jeremy Ray Commodore pleaded guilty in Chilliwack Provincial Court Nov. 15 to two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking.

The 32-year-old has been in custody since Oct. 5, when the RCMP raided a unit at the Trader’s Inn and found hero-in, crystal methamphetamine, cash and various tools used in trafficking drugs.

Chilliwack RCMP are warning residents about a man scamming

people out of money after off ering them great deals on surplus television sets.

Police say the suspect, a Caucasian man 45 to 50 years old with short black hair and standing between fi ve-foot-six and fi ve-foot-nine, enters local businesses and “befriends” his victims.

After persuading them that they’ve met him before, he tells them a convincing a story of how his brother ordered too many TVs, and off ers to sell them to the victims for $250 or $300 each.

The scammer then rides with the victims to a bank or a friend’s residence to obtain the money and makes arrangements to deliver the television sets to the victims either immediately or at a later date.

At that point the fraudster, who sometimes uses the name Bob Scott, exits the vehicle (at various drop off locations) never to be seen again. Three people have been defrauded, so far.

If you believe you have been a victim of this crime or have any information, call the Chilliwack Community Police Offi ce at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-888-222-TIPS (8477).

TV scam making the rounds

Debt pooler gets accounts frozenBY PAUL J. HENDERSON

[email protected]

Consumer Protection BC has fro-zen the bank accounts and sus-pended the business licence of

a Chilliwack-based debt consolidation business after numerous complaints were received in recent months.

Don Antle and Options Credit Ser-vices Canada Ltd. (OCSC) have been under investigation for months by Consumer Protection BC, but new information spurred the agency to act Thursday to freeze his accounts and suspend his licence.

“We are taking this matter very seri-ously,” Manjit Bains, vice-president of corporate relations, told the Times Fri-

day. “We became aware of information that caused us some serious concern and required us to take immediate action.”

The business of debt consolidation, also known as debt pooling, involves helping clients with their bills by grouping payments to various credi-tors into one monthly payment. Com-panIes like Antle’s, of which there are 70 in British Columbia, charge a fee for the service.

Consumer Protection BC issued a press release Thursday alleging that OCSC has been non-compliant with the Business Practices and Consumer

Protection Act and the Debt Collection Industry Regulation.

Until Thursday, Antle was doingbusiness under the name OptionsCredit Canada.

The law requires debt poolers, suchas Antle, to operate a trust account anddistribute consumer money to credi-tors.

Bains said because the matter isunder investigation, she could not bemore specific about allegations.

In addition to consumer complaints,Vancouver Sun financial columnistDavid Baines reported in June on thenumerous individuals who had filed

Chilliwack RCMP are warning people to use care when selling or buying items via social media

websites after a man was robbed at knifepoint and then assaulted in front of the Yale Road Tim Hortons near Wil-liams Street Thursday night.

Police say the victim, who had post-ed some electronics for sale on Craig-slist, was at the coffee shop at about

10:45 p.m. to meet a buyer.When he got to the parking lot,

police say, two men dressed in black and wearing balaclavas approached him from behind.

The first man grabbed and held the victim while the second man, described as six feet tall and 200 p o u n d s, p ro d u c e d a k n i f e a n d demanded the victim’s wallet.

After the first man grabbed the wal-let and took the money in it, the victim was reportedly punched in the face and stomach.

“We are cautioning the general pub-lic to use care when arranging to sell items privately through social media websites,” RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Len vanNieuwenhuizen said in the press release. “The victim had thought

that this was a legitimate transaction.”Mounties advise people selling and

buying through social media websites to confirm the identity of the other party, conduct transactions in a safe and known environment, and not to go alone.◗ Anyone with info about Thursday’s robbery is asked to contact the Chilli-wack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

With the arrival of cold weather, a local shelter says it won’t close its doors to anyone needing a place

to stay. The Chilliwack Salvation Army operates

an emergency shelter year-round, and is available for client intake 24/7.

“Whenever the weather is zero or below, we won’t turn anyone away,” said Kyle Belton, director of shelter and outreach ministries at the Salvation Army.

The Brigader Arthur Cartmell House shelter currently has 16 beds available, but can open up more spaces if needed with cots supplied by the fire department.

“Once it gets to about 20 people [in the shelter], we will open up the Care & Share building, the kitchen part, then we can put people into there, too. We won’t turn any-one away, we’ll definitely find something for them,” Belton said.

The shelter has already begun to operate above capacity, which also occurs in the summer months, but there has been no need to open up other buildings this year or last year. “We have already started going above the capacity but it hasn’t been need-ed much yet,” he said.

Clients staying on cots are permitted to stay on a night-to-night basis, but those assigned to an actual bed and working on a case plan are welcome to stay 30 days.

“And with that, there’s flexibility on the 30 days, depending on what their goal is,” Belton added.

Other services include three meals a

day, two snacks, showers, laundry facilities, addictions counselling, and other Salvation Army services like the food bank.

The shelter, which is funded by BC Hous-ing, is open for individuals who need a place to stay, are sober and are 19 years of age or older.

Ruth and Naomi’s Mission also offers emergency shelter services in Chilliwack.

The organization reduced its emergency shelter beds from 20 to 12—eight for men and four for women—a month ago, and implemented a multiple-phase housing and recovery program.

The emergency shelter allows people to stay for 14 days on a night-to-night basis.

Those who are eligible are then encour-aged to take part in a 30-day program, which provides housing and other wrap-around services like workshops on anger, depression and anxiety, therapeutic sup-port and addictions services. Twenty beds are available in the 30-day program, which requires participants to make a month-long commitment and be drug-free.

“One of the things we recognized is we can shelter people and we can do that for a long time, but we’re not helping them,” said John Gray, program director for the step-up residential recovery centre at Ruth and Naomi’s Mission. “We’ve reduced the emer-gency side of the shelter, encouraging peo-ple to come into longer term treatment or a recovery program. So it’s still the same type of people, but we’re hopefully giving them more help. That’s really our bottom line, we

want to provide people with hope, not just a bed for the night.”

Gray said the 30-day program is part of a new multi-phase strategy that continues to support people as they move off of the streets, hopefully into supportive housing or other accommodations and eventually into pursuits related to education or work. As people move through the program, sup-port will become more in-depth and com-prehensive.

“I think we’re running kind of a full-orbed type of program, where we’re not just cut-ting somebody off where they leave the pro-gram,” he said.

The emergency shelter, which is self-funded and costs approximately $120,000 a year to run, is open for those 19 and older. Check-in time is at 9 p.m. and dinner and laundry services are also avail-able. Beds are offered on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Although it’s difficult to determine the number of homeless people in Chilliwack, Belton said there is definitely a need for more affordable housing and a shelter for youth, as there is currently none in the area.

The Salvation Army used to offer two beds for youth in a cordoned off area of their adult shelter, but funding from the Ministry of Child and Family Development stopped in February of this year, leading to the closure of the program.

According to Gray, different groups in the community are currently working towards developing emergency shelter for youth.

Concern that the Chilliwack school district’s early French immersion program will continue at Chilli-

wack middle school (CMS) for students after Grade 6 is premature, according to school officials.

The program is set to launch at Cheam elementary in September, and between 40 and 50 parents at an information meeting Thursday were told the program would continue at CMS when students get to middle school.

“On the North Side, students enrolled in both Early and Late French Immer-sion will continue at Chilliwack Middle School,” stated a pamphlet handed out at the meeting.

That worried some parents who don’t like the school’s inner-city location.

“I invite you to hang out at Yale & Wil-liams (the 7-11 right across the street from CMS), on any given school day, to count the drug dealers,” wrote one parent on the Parents for Early French Immersion in Chilliwack Facebook page. “Sadly, I am uncomfortable with hedg-ing my bets on it ‘getting better’ in a mere 6 years.”

B u t t h o s e c o n c e r n s a r e a s y e t

unfounded, according to superintendent Evelyn Novak.

“We haven’t talked about Grade 6 at all,” she to the Times. “We haven’t made any determination once the students get to Grade 6 or 7 and where they’ll go.”

She said the statement in the pam-phlet was an error that will be corrected.

She went on to say a lot of decisions have yet to be made about EFI, includ-ing when and where those students will integrate with the district’s late French immersion students, which currently feed into both CMS and Vedder middle and then into Sardis secondary.

“We’ve got a few years to go yet,” Novak said.

Another issue raised on social media was the difficulty working parents will have taking advantage of the program, given that no busing will be provided and the school will let out at 2:10 p.m. Novak said the district has not yet looked into any kind of after-school program, but that such a program could be set up at Cheam in the future.

“I think a parent group could actually start an after school program,” she said. “There’s some insurance and liabili-

ty to work around, but we’ve got other after-school programs. Now, yes, they’re working in schools where there are actu-ally spaces for them. It makes it a little more challenging that Cheam doesn’t actually have a space.”

For most EFI parents, the best piece of news to come out of Thursday’s meeting was that the district will consider adding classes if there is enough interest in the program.

The current plan calls for one kinder-garten class and one Grade 1 class, with spaces to be assigned through a lottery if there are more students than spots—more than 22 for kindergarten or more than 24 for Grade 1.

But if 44 or more parents register for Kindergarten and 48 for Grade 1, Novak said she’d go to the board and see about adding more classes.

“We’ll look at the numbers and try to accommodate as many parents as pos-sible as long as it’s financially feasible,” Novak said.

Novak said she was extremely happy at the turnout for Thursday’s meeting, but said decisions about classes will ulti-mately come down to the numbers.

“Having people at the meeting is great because they’re getting information, but what it boils right down to is the actual registrations,” she said.

Online EFI registration will open in January. Parents with kids entering Kin-dergarten next year, are asked to regis-ter them at their local catchment area school first and then for EFI in January.

Don’t like the idea of having to attend Chilliwack middle school

A8 Tuesday, December 10, 2013 CHILLIWACK TIMES A8 Tuesday, December 10, 2013 CHILLIWACK TIMES

In years past we just dug a big hole in the ground and buried our garbage. We had lots of land and

not too many people, so this simple method was satisfactory for quite a long time. Then it was discovered that bad things leached into the ground from these dumps and the decomposing material gave off large amounts of methane gas which was very hard on the environment. The dumps near the larger metropolitan areas also began to fill up at an alarm-ing rate.

To deal with these things we started to line the dump areas to control the leaching into the soil, and in some cases, covered the top to try to cap-ture some of the methane. We also began to try to separate some of the things that could be recycled rather than have these just go to the landfill. These ideas were implemented to varying degrees around the world, starting about 40 or 50 years ago.

As the population continued to grow, the clock was ticking for a new and better plan to be devised as the dumps near the large metropolitan areas were quickly becoming full. Many areas around the globe were also looking at ways to reduce their reliance on other countries for petro-leum based products and reduce their impact on the environment by implementing sources of green energy. It was discovered that if the hazardous materials were carefully removed, and the valuables (recy-clables) were set aside, that 70 to 80 per cent of the remaining material could be ground up, treated and compressed into a high quality refuse derived fuel (RDF). The RDF could

then be used to fire a boiler for heat or spin a generator to make electricity. This concept began to be commonly used in many of the western Europe-an and Scandinavian countries with Denmark, Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands leading the way.

Incinerators became more refined and with the addition of modern scrubbers, the emissions of these high tech waste to energy (WTE) plants easily meet the European Envi-ronmental Emissions requirements which are more restrictive than ours in north America. Thermal conver-sion plants take this to another level yet, with temperatures in the 1,100 C range, which makes a producer gas similar to natural gas or propane. Hundred per cent of the output can then be used to power an industrial engine and generator or a turbine, with either of these making enor-mous amounts of electricity and heat. Denmark now only landfills less than five per cent of their total municipal waste. Sweden is so happy with their waste-to-energy program that they are looking at importing trash from other countries. The city of Vienna in Austria actually uses its modern WTE plant which is right in the centre of the city as a tourist attraction and information centre.

This is not a new topic. It is only

new to North America because our vast land has allowed us the ability to continue with our outdated and environmentally disastrous ways of burying most of our trash.

In North America there have been many exhaustive studies done on this subject also. North Carolina State University in conjunction with the Environmental Protection Agency of the USA did a very extensive study in 2009 and concluded that “to embrace this technology would not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions and local pollution, but would also yield copious electricity.”

A lot of information on “waste to energy” is available on the Internet and elsewhere. I would encourage anyone that is interested in the subject to just type it into Google and do your own research. A good one to start with is: www.nytimes.com/2010/04/13/science/earth/13trash.html?page-wanted=all&_r=1&

While I can certainly appreciate the sentiment and emotion behind some of the statements and positions being taken by some of our promi-nent local politicians on this subject, it would be nice if some study and logical thought were brought into the mix. Professor Nickolas Theme-lis of Columbia University who has spent much of his career studying this says that America’s resistance to constructing the new waste to energy plants is economically and environ-mentally “irresponsible.”

I think that sums it up very well.◗ Tom Moul is a Cultus Lake resident, an airline pilot and a businessman, and is the CEO of Chilliwack BioEner-gy Group Inc.

Breathe deep and be patientIs it too soon to urge a little peace and

good will this Christmas? Probably not.We’ve all seen the alternative, and it isn’t

pretty.Some of us, it seems, are so busy pursuing

the material side of the holidays that we’ve lost sight of the spirit.

Stressed-out shoppers grimly hunting bargains in the aisles, screaming kids with surly parents and couples who look like they’re going to a funeral instead of experi-encing the joy of the season.

In short, people who bring their bad mood into a retail outlet to share with the staff and other consumers.

While this can be a tough time of year if your finances are tight, it doesn’t have to be a fiscal or emotional crisis.

After all, the most expensive item in the store is no gift at all if the giver is grinding their teeth about the cost and the resulting damage to their credit rating.

There’s nothing intrinsically wrong about giving big gifts, but not at the cost of civility and peace of mind.

There are any number of inexpensive ways of celebrating the holiday season that don’t require busting your bank balance or losing your mind.

Try asking the people in the stores, nicely, and you might discover some clever alter-natives.

So this Christmas, a suggestion: if you feel yourself starting to get anxious or angry, pause and take a deep breath and try to keep things in their proper perspective.

Try smiling. Do something nice like hold-ing a door open or letting a driver merge in front.

It doesn’t cost a thing.Keep in mind, this is all supposed to be

honouring the memory of someone who lived an impoverished life devoted to the less fortunate.

Someone whose sacrifice might be better celebrated with a little more gratitude for the people in our lives and a little less dra-ma at the tills this season.

Editor:Sharon Gaetz, are you joking? We, the owners on Edward

Street, have been begging and complaining for 20 years for the district to fix our street which sees hundreds of pedestrians each day as a way to get to and from work and school.

You know very well of our conversations about the road being split down the middle with crumbling pavement everywhere. No drainage so it floods with the rains, grass growing through the street because it’s so thin and we keep getting told there are other roads in need of repair more than ours and yet a road which is fairly new is slated for more than $30 million in upgrades.

What do we owners get for our complaints? We get a crew that comes out and dumps a tidbit of gravel in the holes?

I am really starting to ques-tion where my tax dollars are going. I would like to know why Promontory gets the priority? The district is fully aware of the incident where I broke my foot out on Edward Street because of the difference of the pave-ment and the side of the street which is crumbling to nothing and all that was done was the usual dumping of gravel which washes away with the rain and becomes a useless waste of time and money.

I want answers this time and real ones. As a home-owner and taxpayer I demand that our street be treated as a priority, not a new reflecting pond across from your office or streets that are basically new being redone. Enough is enough.

L. KeeleyChilliwack

Waste not, want notEditor:

I would like to comment on Mayor Gaetz and the council-lors approval of the hazardous waste recycling application and rezoning.

I probably, along with many, found out about this applica-tion in the 11th hour as it were, and unable to attend council chambers to voice my opinion, and a vehement one it would have been.

One week notice is appar-ently what the citizens, local interest groups and other external partners were given to review. I did not see any public notice from the city that would have been considered reasonable notice; apparently neither did some of the local interest groups. I did manage to catch some of the hearing on the city’s live web feed, and that was purely by an accidental find.

Wow! What a railroad, shot-gun wedding or whatever you want to call it. What I saw and heard was a complete truckload of what farmers spread on the fields around here during the summer.

I can see why the city did not want to publicly announce that this company AEVITAS INC wanted to use the land for haz-ardous waste. They would have had a full house, which proba-bly would have sent the mayor and council running for the hills. The mayor and the rest of the councillors can call the pro-cess fair all they want because there was little opposition, and what little there was the mayor, in my opinion, muzzled.

It’s not the facility that bothers me, it’s the location. The AEVITAS spokesperson addressed council to say “the company has 20 years of experi-ence doing this work,” and with numerous safety precautions in place. Well now, that has to be good enough. I looked up every location of AEVITAS INC and not one of their eight plants is by a major or minor waterway.

I would like to speak to the city staffer who recom-mended the approval of this location and did they do their homework. The report says “the property in question was suitable as it is industrial land and there are no residential or commercial properties.” That’s awesome, no people around so we can put it on top of one of the most fragile ecosystems and waterways in B.C. Did they know this location was by a big watery thingy that flows through our city and is responsible for a huge fisheries and environmental habitats, and it’s called the Fraser River? Perhaps a “measure twice, cut once” approach should be used at the city.

This is simply not an over-sight, this meeting was held with little opposition as possible because city council knew that the location would be a seri-ous issue with the Sto:lo First Nation, The Water Wealth Proj-ect, BC Wildlife Federation, and concerned citizens. Mayor and council would have had their feet put to the fire, and they still may if they turn the Fraser and Vedder rivers—our rivers—into a hazardous wasteland.

Chris StaykoChilliwack

Wetlands are invaluableEditor:

Bravo to the FVRD senior staffer who has labelled Cheam Lake Wetlands Regional Park as the “Stanley Park” of this com-

munity. Rightly so! I also believe that this particular wetlands area, among apparently a thou-sand other wetlands identified within the TransMtn/Kinder Morgan proposed twinned pipeline pathway needs to be proactively protected. These wetlands must not be disrupt-ed, dug up, wildlife dispersed or destroyed; all in order to increase massive shipment of diluted bitumen.

Like Stanley Park, Cheam Lake Wetlands Regional Park is a beautiful refuge for so many species and for people alike. This Cheam Lake park is a vibrant, unique “well-known biodiversity hot spot in the Fraser Valley” as noted by the Coquitlam, professional regis-tered biologist, Pamela Zevit, in a Cheam Lake Wetlands 2008 bioblitz document which iden-tifies a vast array of plants, birds, amphibians and reptile species; many of which are endangered.

I have recently noticed that there have been many TransMtn/KinderMorgan media events set up at local chamber of commerce groups in communities along the pipe-line route to promote the so called financial benefit in this twinning. Apparently, there is money to be made—by some people. The urgency is palpa-ble.

Is this a short timeline matter or could it be a need to beat the decline in heavy crude off-shore sales? Or is it perhaps a response to the continent-wide divestment in fossil fuel stocks that many people have made?

My investment advisor tells me that even if my portfolio is quite modest; my solar/wind company stock values have doubled in the last eight months.

Nevertheless, Canadians are beginning to realize the potential wealth in many of our unnoticed ecosystems. Fortu-nately too, biologists are mea-suring these immense values of ecosystems.

In a published report that I recently requested from a UFV biology professor, a group of biologists have revealed some interesting statistics. They took on the daunting task of analyz-ing “The Value of the World’s Ecosystems Services and Natural Capital.” These 13 sci-entists from various American universities have evaluated “the services of ecological systems and the natural capital stocks that produce them (which) are critical to the functioning of the

Earth’s life support system.”After evaluating various eco-

systems, their functions and services and then transferring that data through related com-parisons to monetary value, the various ecosystems have been pro-rated in order of their wealth of service value.

As a retired elementary teacher, I fondly remember the water cycle science discussions with my former students. I too, was surprised along with the students that wetlands acted as sponges during flooding, provided primary cleansing of waterways passing through to aquifers slowed down rapid

investigation and are happy that this came to a successful conclusion,” RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Len vanNieuwen-huizen said. “These drugs can lead to serious harm in our community and it is gratifying to be able to take them off the streets.”

The October raid had been in response to numerous complaints of drug traffick-ing from the hotel unit.

Also seized were a prohibited weap-on—a sawed-down rifle resembling a handgun—and stolen point-of-sale ter-minals, used to read credit cards and obtain personal credit-card data.

Commodore was arrested at the scene along with a 23-year-old woman who is scheduled to appear in court in January.

Commodore will also appear in court again in January as the Crown has applied for criminal forfeiture of cash seized during the arrest and search war-rant.

The local man has a history of drug and assault convictions.

In March 2002, he was acquitted of second-degree murder in the death of local auto mechanic Bruce Swedberg, who was beaten and then run over by a

car on the Soowahlie reserve on July 7, 2000.

According to testimony at trial, Com-modore, then 19, his girlfriend at the time, Tina Greene, and Swedberg had met up at Commodore’s place on the Soowahlie reserve after drinking heavily.

The two drove Swedberg to a remote part of the reserve and left him after he had been beaten and run over by the car.

Competing versions of what happened that night, however, left the jury with a reasonable doubt about Commodore’s guilt and he was acquitted.

The Jolly Miller “Where Friends Meet”


BY PAUL J. HENDERSON

[email protected]

Lose, lose, lose.Not a mantra, just another week-

end reality for a Chilliwack Chiefs team that can’t shake its losing ways.

After a few ferry rides, the Chiefs lost 5-1 Friday in Powell River. Then they hopped back on the boat to the island only to lose 2-0 to Nanaimo Saturday night. They then bused to the middle of the island Sunday to get slaughtered 7-2 by Alberni Valley.

This was another disastrous weekend with a cumulative score-line of 14-3 against, which, after last weekend’s loss of three games in 48 hours by a cumulative score of 21-10, means the Chiefs have to be looking for answers.

Blaming goaltending wasn’t entirely fair before or after the arriv-al of Spencer Tremblay who started well, but then began to lose quickly. Tremblay only started one of three of this weekend’s games.

It’s been the defence, the shots on goal that have plagued the team. In a high-scoring, shooting league, the Chiefs have the most shots against.

Tremblay and Josh Halpenny faced 121 shots against this past weekend with their teammates notching just 85. Add that to last weekend’s shot tallies and the six-game average is 39 shots against versus 29 shots for.

When the other team is getting 34 per cent more shots on goal, chanc-

es are wins won’t happen.Friday’s visit to Powell River was

all Kings save one Austin Plevy power-play marker at the end of the second period.

The game was 0-0 15 minutes into the first before Jarid Lukose-viclus scored for the Kings, a goal that would stand as the 1-0 marker until 1:10 of the second when Curtis McCarrick would make it 2-0.

McCarrick notched his second at 5:57, and the Kings would add a power-play marker on a Shay Lau-rent high-sticking penalty. They then tucked in a shorthanded goal at the end of a failed Chiefs power play.

Plevy broke Jeff Smith’s shutout at the end of the second but that was all anyone could muster and, after a scoreless third period, it ended 5-1

A rare low-scoring affair also did not go Chilliwack’s way Saturday in Nanaimo as Clipper goalie Tanner Kovacs stopped 25 shots to shutout the Chiefs in a close-fought 2-0 game.

This was an extremely tight affair until Devin Brosseau scored the winner at 19:17 of the second peri-od, a goal that would stand until Brendan Taylor solidified things with an empty netter with less than a minute to play in the third.

Sunday, the Chiefs made their way to Weyhaeuser Arena to face the Alberni Valley Bulldogs where they were manhandled 7-2.

Halpenny took all seven out of the 49 Bulldog shots he faced. The Chiefs managed just 28 shots, including just five in the third period.

The game started with an equal first period, ending at 1-1, getting worse with two more Bulldog goals in the second, wrapping up the weekend with a disastrous, pen-alty-filled third as Alberni Valley scored four goals.◗ The Chiefs next home game is Dec. 13 against Penticton.

The owl in the window was what �rst caught my eye. There were loads of them, actually, all bright, cuddly, and incredibly adorable. As it so happens there’s a certain sweet little fella in my life who happens to love owls, so… in I ventured.

Teddy Bear Dreams the shop was called, and teddy bears there were! Stuf�es have come a long way my friends. Every sweet new baby gift imaginable abounded, from collector’s items to Christening out�ts to piggy banks to car seats. And the clothes – oh my – I warn you, those little out�ts are so darn cute you almost can’t breathe.

I learned that the place is under relatively new ownership, and Mike and Carol came in with lofty ambitions they’ve already begun ful�lling. The dance section is one of a kind and incomparable. Anything dance you can think of, they have – not only in children’s, but now in adult sizes as well!

They are now onto expanding their exclusive lines of children’s wear – which includes children’s formal wear - and I say you won’t �nd cuter anywhere in town.

Kids grow up so fast… dress them nicely while you still can!

lawsuits against Antle.These were not debt consolidation

clients but rather individuals who pur-chased $15,000 licences from Antle to operate under OSCS or Options Credit Canada Ltd.

Two of the lawsuits stemmed from licensees responding to Craigslist or Kijiji ads offering opportunities to earn $50,000 to $100,000 a year.

While Consumer Protection BC has received formal complaints about Antle, there have been a number of complaints online about his practices, including at the Better Business Bureau of Canada and on a site called Ripoff Report.

The latter site included comments calling Antle and the company OSCS “an

absolute scam.”“Options Credit has left a trail of

destruction by scamming many honest, hard-working folks in BC and Alberta,” someone wrote in January.

Before that Antle himself responded to the original complaint on Ripoff Report, calling it the product of an “unhinged coward” who is an ex-employee who was “incompetent” and who “I believe . . . has some serious mental challenges.”

Over the course of a year from March 2012 to February 2013, a back-and-forth continued on the website between a complainant and Antle himself.

“We provide a unique, life-changing service for our clients,” Antle wrote. “We

are not perfect but we try to treat every-one with respect, candour and integrity. Our service includes interest-free debt repayment programs that really help peo-ple out of difficult situations.”

Antle has also faced numerous small claims lawsuits over the years, including from this newspaper’s owner, Black Press Group Ltd., as well as Fabmar Communi-cations Ltd., the owner of 89.5 The Drive.

Antle did not respond to a call from the Times for comment.

Consumer Protection BC is asking any-one who has been impacted by the work of Don Antle or Options Credit Services Canada to call or email [email protected].

The enchanting Winter Harp returns.One of Canada’s most beloved holiday

concert traditions, the magic that is Winter Harp celebrates is 20th Anniversary this year and returns to Chilliwack with a show that is as visually stunning as the music is enchanting.

Gorgeous cathedral backdrops, heartwarming carols, and endearing stories celebrating the Christmas season creates a glamorous evening of music for all to enjoy when the Chilliwack Arts & Cultural Centre Society presents Winter Harp on December 17.

Golden Celtic and classical harps, drums, tambourines, temple bells, flutes and an assortment of dazzling ancient rare instruments, illuminated by candle light, gives the entire show the look of a luminous pre-Raphaelite painting.

“The familiar carols and the touching stories take us

home to Christmas. Christmas contains some of our most cherished memories - the

emotions it evokes are rich and overflowing”

- director Lori Pappajohn

Captivating melodies from the harps and mystical music from age-old instruments will enthrall audience members as the gloriously clad medieval attired musicians perform a repertoire that ranges from heartwarming Christmas carols to Celtic, medieval, and worldly tunes.

Known for generating standing ovations, sold out concerts and rave reviews, this world-class ensemble was founded by Lori Pappajohn and poet/narrator Alan

Woodland in a small chapel in Vancouver in 1993. Winter Harp has since grown to include up to a dozen cities in its annual December tours throughout western Canada.

The ensemble is thrilled to welcome back legendary harpist, Kim Robertson, a virtuoso musician who is amongst the world’s leading Celtic harpists. Credited with bringing about the renaissance of the Celtic harp in North America, her ground-breaking arrangements and passionate performances have helped launch the Celtic harp into the modern world.

For the past two decades Winter Harp has captured the spirit of the Holidays, becoming a tradition along many families at Christmas time. Their show is a magical journey full of heartwarming

carols, songs and stories. A feast for all the senses.

Thousands of people have made attending Winter Harp a part of their holiday tradition. Come see why on December 17 and perhaps they will become part of yours.

Winter Harp is generously sponsored by Wagner Appliances, Simpson Notaries, Bob Plowright and Associates, Minter Country Gardens, Hallmark Promotions, The Chilliwack Times, The British Columbia Arts Council, The Department of Heritage and The Province of British Columbia.

The Sardis secondary senior boys basketball team added a second

straight tournament title to its perfect preseason record Sat-urday after winning the Chilli-wack Storm Classic.

The Falcons won the tour-nament for only the second time in its 34-year history by defeating White Rock’s Semi-ahmoo Totems 95-62.

The two teams had clashed in the final of Yale secondary’s Big Ball Classic the previous weekend, when the Falcons had had to fend off the Totems late in the game to win 61-56.

Saturday’s final looked to be another close game as the Falcons got off to a sluggish start in the first half before picking up pace and pulling away from the Totems in the second.

“We’ve got a lot of things to work on, but it’s fun for the boys to get a tournament win,” Falcons coach Kyle Graves said.

Sardis reached the finals with wins over L.A. Matheson, Sa-Hali and G.P. Vanier.

In the final game, first team all-stars Hayden Lejeune and Eric Rogers put up 21 points and 14 points respectively.

Tournament MVP Cam Ser-vatius finished off a great tour-nament with 27 points.

With the win Saturday, the Falcons, who are currently seventh in AAAA provincial rankings, improved their pre-season record to 8-0.

Two other Chilliwack teams opened the Storm Classic Thursday morning, with Uni-ty Christian pulling off a 66-62 overtime win over Chilliwack secondary.

U n i t y , c u r re n t l y n u m -ber one in provincial sin-gle-A rankings and led by second-team all-star Clay Driesen, went on to beat Sardis’s B team before los-ing 68-50 to Semiahmoo and 71-51 to G.P. Vanier.

CSS lost to Rick Hansen 83-71 and then beat Tem-pleton 59-39. The Storm’s Brandon Isaac earned a sec-ond-team all star.

Chilliwack Times

Inside of a nondescript building, volunteers and staff with a local non-profit are working hard to

ensure that all children have a gift to open on Christmas morning.

Chilliwack Community Services (CSS) collects donations through-out the months of November and December to provide families in need with holiday hampers, filled with toys and clothes. The effort is part of the Christmas Sharing program, which is done in partnership with the Salvation Army.

Last year, the program distributed 470 hampers that serviced 895 chil-dren from Chilliwack, Sardis, Yar-row, Cultus Lake and Rosedale. With assistance from local organizations, a total of 5,600 toys were collected and cash donation values topped off at $60,000.

“These parents who are coming to us, aren’t asking for themselves, they’re asking for their children and we’re more than happy to support their kids,” said Karin Massar, fund development officer at CSS.

“We just want to make sure that every child here has the opportunity to have a wonderful Christmas.”

To help personalize the hampers, the application process asks parents to provide details on their children’s age, gender, likes and preferences.

Donations are then picked up from multiple drop-off locations and moved to a top secret warehouse, where volunteers, acting as “Santa’s

special helpers,” match items to the qualities of each child.

All children receive a combination of small and large items that amount to a value of $75. In addition to toys, other hamper staples include mit-tens, toques and pyjamas.

“We start filling the hampers based on what the family has requested, and we try to include small gifts in each hamper,” Massar said.

The toy warehouse has tables and bins stocked with what seems to be an endless supply of books, dolls, teddy bears, building blocks and figu-rines for children, but tables for teens are, for the most part, bare.

“We find that we get a lot of dona-tions for the younger kids, but the teenagers are kind of left out,” Mas-sar said, adding suggested gifts for teens include gift cards to local malls, sporting goods, books and crafting supplies.

The program has received immense support from the community, with organizations and service clubs hold-ing initiatives that bring in boxes and bags full of hamper-worthy goods.

In 2012, the Rotary Club raised

$30,000 worth of toy and cash dona-tions—nearly half of the year’s pro-ceeds.

“It really makes you believe in the spirit of Christmas again,” Massar said.

How to donateTo donate, drop off a gift at one of

the following locations: ◗ Cottonwood Mall and Chilliwack Mall at the “Angel Trees”◗ CSS offices at 7112 Vedder Rd., 9214 Mary St. or 45938 Wellington Ave.◗ Dairy Queen◗ Envision Credit Union◗ RBC Royal Bank ◗ Vancity Credit Union.

Upcoming events include the Chilli-wack Chiefs Teddy Bear & Toque Toss on Dec. 14 at Prospera Centre and Remax Toy Drive on Dec. 14 at 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at IHOP restaurant.

The Angel Trees also contain “Angel Tags” that have an anonymous name for a child registered in the program, along with their age and gender. Donors can personalize their giving experience by using this tag to shop for a specific child.

Donations that are currently in need, include hats and toques, mitts, gloves, pyjamas (boys, size three to seven and girls, size two to six), cloth-ing, gift cards, hockey sticks, cosmet-ics, hoodies, art supplies and board games. ◗ Holiday hampers and food hampers, organized by the Sally Ann, will be dis-tributed together on Dec. 19 and 20 at the Salvation Army Church at 46420 Brooks Ave. For more information, vis-it www.comserv.bc.ca.

A toy story worth repeating

Sharron Ho/TIMES

Students from GW Graham secondary and Chilliwack secondary volunteer their time and start packing up holiday hampers on Dec. 6 at the secret toy warehouse.

“These parents who are coming to us, aren’t askingfor themselves, they’reasking for their children and we’re more than hap-py to support their kids.”

run-off, and provided estuary regions for all sorts of species and fish spawning regions (a nursery for many species in general). All-in-all wetlands can be a cornucopia of biodi-versity.

Well then, I was not sur-prised to learn that after this “natural capital” analysis, that wetlands come out as the top income earner (my label) in dollar value to the community and to the planet. Even ahead of rain forests.

Wetlands provide $14,785 per hectare per year in ser-vices value, according to this study. The Cheam Lake Wet-lands Regional Park area of 93 hectares has consequently provided $1,375,005 in natural capital stock, yearly.

It will probably continue to do so; if we protect this region.

We see midgets differently now Editor:

Your poll question for this week is ridiculous.

First of all, it’s not 1910. Midgets are not being forced into sideshows because they’re freaks who can’t get jobs anywhere else. The world has come a long way and I would like to think that the majority of western civilization sees people with dwarfism as regular human beings capable of doing many different jobs.

Secondly, wrestling in general, can easily be seen as degrading to all kinds of humans. It’s entertainment. It’s a dramatized event that showcases all kinds of unique and outrageous characters. Nobody asked if Andre the Giant was degrading other people with acromegaly, or if King Kong Bundy was degrad-ing other people with obesity. And what about Kelly Kelly? Surely her character degrades all women, at least all beau-tiful women with rock-hard bodies.

Give me a break. If any-thing, midget wrestlers should be commended for their brav-ery, for jumping into an arena that notoriously attracts mas-sively huge men. They should be congratulated for choosing to use their uniqueness to become gainfully employed in a world where they don’t always “fit in.” Better yet, they should be seen as wrestlers, not midgets.

Supreme effort by firefightersEditor:

On the evening of Nov. 6 at about 11 p.m., a fire broke out in a duplex structure in the village at Hemlock Valley. Volunteer firefighters living in the village responded and additional manpower and

equipment was dispatched from neighbouring fire depart-ments.

At the height of the fire, two duplexes plus a large single family cabin were fully ablaze and neighbouring homes were threatened. In addition to the Hemlock Valley Volunteer Fire Department, firefighters and

equipment were on the scene from North Fraser Volunteer Fire Department, Agassiz Fire Department and even volun-teers from Chilliwack River Valley Volunteer Fire Depart-ment made the long trek to assist. In all, 29 firefighters and seven pieces of firefighting apparatus were on scene along with the BCAS and the RCMP.

When the fire was extin-guished two duplexes and a single family log cabin had been completely destroyed and two neighbouring cabins had suffered damage. The Hemlock Valley Homeowners

Association extends sincere condolences to those who suf-fered losses in this tragic event.

Miraculously, two other neighbouring duplex cabins were saved from damage. It is thought that had either of those been ignited the whole block of homes could have been lost. It was only by the supreme efforts of the firefight-ers that these structures were saved.

Only one permanent resi-dent was displaced during this event and with the assistance of family, the local ESS, local residents, the Hemlock Valley

Homeowners Association and a number of generous residents from the Deroche, Harrison Mills and Lake Errock communities she has found a new place to live at Hemlock and been able to start to put her life back together.

The Hemlock Valley Home-owners Association and those whose homes were spared wish to express their appre-ciation to all the volunteer firefighters that participated in the firefighting efforts and to those who stayed on site for the following days to suppress hot spots that continued to

reignite. Thanks also goes to the

support people that assisted by bringing coffee, food and whatever was needed by those on the front lines and to those fire department members and community volunteers who spend hours afterwards to clean and put firefighting equipment back where it belongs so they are ready to respond to the next emergen-cy.

Your dedication is appreci-ated.

Hemlock Valley Homeowners Association

Facebook to correct misinformation and to defend the city’s process.

Further to that, a long posting from the City of Chilliwack’s Facebook account stated that Aevitas is an “environmental cleanup company” that recycles hazardous materials that otherwise might end up in a landfill.

“Through proper recycling, this company will aid in ensuring that hazardous materials stay out of our landfills and our waterways.”

The posting also clarified misin-formation posted about the meeting regarding notification about the pub-lic hearing. The city followed the legal requirements outlined in the Local Government Act, which includes newspaper ads, a sign on site and notification of neighbours within 30 metres of the site.

“The next steps in this process will be to establish the covenant on land title with additional restrictions, such as emergency planning measures to move all the hazardous waste off site

in the event of a flood threat.”Gaetz, meanwhile, was blunt on

Facebook with those who claim the facility could be a danger being so close to the Fraser River.

“This facility does not pose a risk to our watershed,” Gaetz said.

“Please read the reports and then

we will talk.”And regarding comments that the

site in question will be a hazardous waste dump?

“A dump is what Cheam has—not us,” Gaetz said.

In response to why local First Nations weren’t consulted?

“In local government First Nations are consulted when there is an OCP amendment—not a rezoning.

“This rezoning was to make the cri-teria more stringent for industry—not less.”

News

Haz waste facility poses no threat to our watershedTOXIC, from page 1 “ A dump is what Cheam

has—not us.”Sharon Gaetz

File - TIMES

In discussions about a haz-ardous waste recycling facility slated for Chilliwack, Mayor Sharon Gaetz has called out the Cheam First Nation for it’s “toxic landfill.”
