Riding the bus in Chilliwack isgetting easier and easier withmore buses running on more

routes for longer hours.Changes to the transit system that

took effect last summer have prov-en extremely popular as ridershiphas increased steadily to the level of20,000 rides in April, according toMichelle Orfield of BC Transit.

“I’m just super stoked,” Orfield toldcity council at Tuesday’s meeting.

Orfield presented the results of aFebruary 2013 planning workshopand the three-year transit service planfor the city.

That plan will see the largest expan-sion of transit in the city’s history,something about which Orfield andcouncil were brimming with opti-mism.

“What it proves is that if you buildit, they will come,” Coun. Jason Lumsaid.

Lum, the chair of the TransportationAdvisory Committee, joked Tuesdaythat he “was a bit scared to show [his]face on the street” after the changescame into effect last summer.

That’s because the changes thatstreamlined service into the mainYale/Vedder corridor also eliminatedsome more suburban service, to thechagrin of some residents.

St i l l , r i d e r s h i p i m m e d i a t e l yincreased in July 2012 and has risensteadily since then. And the plan forthe first year of changes means manyof those concerns should be allevi-ated.

2013CCNABLUE

RIBBON

◗ Chilliwack candidates

Chad Eros - BC ConservativeA $10/day or $2,600/year day care

program (assuming 52 weeks, fivedays per week) may help, but I believea healthy economy with higher payingjobs is the answer and a more afford-able tax system is a huge part of thesolution. We need to change B.C.’saddiction to consumption taxes andmake it affordable to live here. Thiswill simultaneously boost our econo-my, provide higher paying jobs, makeit more affordable to live here, andactually make programs like this moreaffordable for the government due toa healthy economy.

Michael Halliday - ExcaliburAffordable child care is a prior-

ity and covered on our website underParty Ideals. The $10-a-day programsounds like far too much provincialand federal government control, asthe program is part of The New DealFor Families, and too communist, Webelieve in improving the quality of lifeof all British Columbians and makingthis province more affordable. HeadStart type programs with maximumparent involvement and decisionmaking power, funding for familymembers to provide day care, and uti-lizing schools for child care are morepractical, more cost effective, healthierand more community friendly.

Patti MacAhonic - NDPAccess to affordable child care is an

issue I hear about over and over ondoorsteps in every neighbourhood inChilliwack. As a past single mom (wid-owed at 29 with three children) andnow having five grandchildren I amfamiliar with these issues personally.Over the last decade, the BC Liberalshave cut funding to child care centres,resulting in significant increased coststo parents. The NDP want to addresschildcare affordability by reducingfees for existing licensed infant andtoddler care by 20 per cent and havemade it a goal to increase spaces.

John Martin - BC LiberalToday’s BC Liberals have allocated

an additional $32 million over threeyears to support creation of up to2,000 new licensed child care spaceswith the goal of creating 13,000 morespaces by year eight. Only with astrong economy can we expand childcare spaces while making them more

affordable. I am fully supportive ofmoving in this direction.

Kim Reimer - GreenMy party and I both support more

affordable child care.

◗ Chilliwack-Hope candidates

Michael Henshall - BC ConservativeWe currently are number five in

Canada in average weekly wageswhere we were once number one.I believe the answer to many of ourunaffordable questions is not moretax, spend and handouts as the oth-er parties have done. The answer islower tax, stimulate the economy andbring good paying jobs to B.C. Wagesin Alberta are much higher than oursand their overall tax burden is muchlower. I believe tax dollars are better inyour hands than government’s. I wantsufficient money to remain in peo-ple’s pockets so they can pay for theirown needs.

Gwen O’Mahony - NDPI support taking the necessary steps

to improve access and affordabilityof child care. We have committed toreducing fees for existing licensedinfant and toddler care by 20 per centthat would save families an averageof $2,000 per year. We will also intro-duce a BC Family Bonus program aspart of a provincial poverty reductionstrategy for low and moderate incomefamilies.

Laurie Throness - BC LiberalThe BC Liberals have their own

alternative called the Early Years Strat-egy. It Includes full-day kindergarten(already implemented), the Strong-Start BC early learning program, aChild Care Subsidy Program withan annual budget of $142 million tosupport care for over 50,000 childrenincluding a supplement for childrenwith special needs, over $34.8 millioninvested in the Success By 6 programto support early learning, nutritionand family services in more than 225communities across B.C.; and finally,our platform commits to allocating anadditional $32 million over three yearsto support creation of up to 2,000 newlicensed child care spaces with thegoal of creating 13,000 more spaces byyear eight.

* (Independent candidate RyanMcKinnon did not complete the ques-tionnaire)

You Asked: We selected four questions submittedby residents and put them to candidatesrunning in the 2013 provincial election

Maria Cargnelli asks: “Child care is thesecond highest cost within a family—after mortgage—at a monthly rate of$1,200 per month. Do you support theimplementation of the $10 a day ChildCare plan?”

Some answers have been edited for length. Visit our website atwww.chilliwacktimes.com for the full answers and more questions.


Chad Eros - BC ConservativeMy dream for MLA experience

would look like this:Carbon tax - get rid of it. It makes

everything less affordable for familiesand seniors.

PST on used goods - Scrap all PST onused goods. If people can’t afford newgoods, they shouldn’t be squeezed fortaxes. This doesn’t make any sense.

MSP - get rid of the whole MSP pro-gram. It costs millions to send out thebills and monitor to collect payments.It’s terribly inefficient and people arenotoriously behind in paying it.

Tolls on bridges - get rid of them.What are we doing with all the gastaxes?

Air Care - Get rid of it.ICBC - If ICBC doesn’t exist to pro-

vide us with inexpensive insurance,privatize it and let in competition.Or ICBC could make driver’s licences

renewable every year instead of everyfive years.

Michael Halliday - ExcaliburWe will have seen a commuter rail

connection from Surrey SkyTrain toHope, bringing in tourism, shopping,and sightseeing from Vancouver andthe U.S.-Sumas border. We will alsosee a connection from the MissionWest Coast Express going to Abbots-ford and Chilliwack.

An active strong film industry inChilliwack, with a specialized film

education branch.The introduction of an academic

college with a branch of the first alter-nate health care and research facilityin B.C, and the implementation of acitizens watershed oversight com-mittee. A revitalized downtown coreand strong small business commu-nity, providing job and entrepreneuropportunities.

Patti MacAhonic - NDPAfter four years of working hard

on behalf of my constituents, I would

hope my accomplishments includeimproving access to skills training inChilliwack so the next generation canattain good jobs that support fami-lies in the Fraser Valley, also improv-ing and attracting value add and/orinvestment opportunities for Chilli-wack would be a significant accom-plishment. I would be proud toacknowledge improving the standardof seniors care and seniors housingstock in Chilliwack, and helping con-serve the beautiful, natural surround-ings that make Chilliwack a renownedfishing, hiking and wildlife viewingdestination making our tourism sec-tor of note provincially.

John Martin - BC LiberalI would want to be able to demon-

strate that the economy has grownunder the government I am a proudpart of and that Chilliwack has

Dale Johnson asks: “Imagine you winthe election. Now imagine you are cam-paigning for re-election in three to fouryears.What accomplishments and suc-cesses for the people of Chilliwack orChilliwack-Hope will you tout as reasonfor your re-election?”

The building is new, and so are the books.Indeed, everything at the Sardis Libraryshines—particularly when the sun is

beaming, as it has been during the new facili-ty’s opening week.

After two years of work, the new library

opened its doors and collection to the pry-ing eyes of the public Monday morning. Andthe response so far has been excellent, librarymanager Nicole Glentworth told theTimes.

While it won’t hold its grand opening untilJune, the library saw plenty of walk-in trafficon its first day, she said.

“The community has been requesting thisfor years and the dream has come to life.”

Glentworth, who has spent two years work-ing towards the opening, said seeing peopleenjoying the new space was exciting.

While the NDP election strategy hastaken an aggressive turn with just aweek to go, leader Adrian Dix insist-

ed optimism was still his mantra during acampaign stop in Chilliwack Monday.

“What’s happened is the whole style of poli-tics has changed for the better,” Dix told the

Times at Chilliwack candidate PattiMacAhonic’s campaign office.

But amid affirmations that hewants to be positive comes increas-ing criticism of Premier Christy Clark,the BC Liberals and what he says aremisleading statements and even out-right lies.

Dix was critical of Liberal claimsthe party has a balanced budget andhas talked about B.C. being debt-free despiteongoing deficits and growing debt.

“It’s on the bus,” Dix said, pointing to thered “DEBT-FREE BC” words on Clark’s cam-paign bus.

Dix said the campaign would not altercourse when asked what changes would bemade with tightening polls and just a week togo.

He then said he didn’t think the ruling Lib-erals had been held accountable for the HST,a statement that comes a day after the NDP

started to run radio ads focused on the HST,another sign the campaign has turned toattack.

Part of the NDP focus, however, is the ongo-ing criticism of the BC Liberal’s own policy ofattack politics.

“In 12 years all they have done is attack,rinse, repeat,” he said. “I think it’s wrong whenpeople are trying to take cheap shots.”

Dix took a moment Monday on his one-hour stop in Chilliwack to say a fewgood things about MacAhonic andChilliwack-Hope incumbent GwenO’Mahony, both of whom were at therally.

“Gwen O’Mahony has changedthe way people look at politics in thisregion,” he said.

“And Patti for us has demonstratedan opening in the NDP with her work

at the Chamber of Commerce and the [BC]Wildlife Federation.

“Here we have two outstanding candidatesand this reflects a change in politics in theregion. Chilliwack has become NDP country.”

After his brief stop in Chilliwack, Dix wasoff to Abbotsford and then Surrey.

There are no more local public all-candi-dates meetings planned before the May 14election although Chilliwack candidates wereslated to meet with a local Rotary club onWednesday.

Engine problems led to the crash of asmall plane into a Fairfield Island fieldlast Thursday, according to reports filed

with Transport Canada.The pilot of the small amateur-built Glastar

aircraft said he lost power after a touch-and-go at the Chilliwack Airport, according to thereports. (A touch-and-go sees a pilot land butnot come to a complete stop before taking offagain.)

“The amateur-built Glastar took off from theChilliwack Airport and stayed in the circuit fora touch-and-go,” said a Transportation SafetyBoard (TSB) report that was filed with Trans-port Canada. “On climb-out following thetouch-and-go, the engine RPM only increasedto about 1700 rpm despite application of fullthrottle,” “The pilot radioed that he had an

engine problem and was returning to land.”Unable to get full power out of his engine,

the pilot turned his plane back towards Chilli-wack Airport. But as he set up his landing, henoticed another plane preparing to take off.

The pilot “decided to abort the landing andcontinue flying north over farmland towardthe Fraser River,” the report reads.

Three kilometres north of the airport, theengine “went to idle,” although it continued toturn over.

That would seem to explain reports fromClare Avenue witnesses, who said they saw theplane descending under little engine powerlast Thursday.

The pilot was forced to land in a field, wherethe plane hit a fence post.

Another report filed with Transport Cana-da reported that the pilot and his passenger“were taken to hospital with minor cuts andbruises.”

Walk through the doors of the SardisLibrary, and the first things you notice arethe windows. The library boasts high ceilingsand seemingly more windows than walls.

“It just makes it so much airier,” Glent-worth said. “It brings in a lot of naturallight.”

A multi-purpose room even boasts a glassgarage-door that opens up to allow for activ-ities outside, when weather permits.

Inside, the library’s shelves aren’t quitefull yet: it will eventually boast a collectionof about 40,000 items, but only around halfof that number is currently in stock. Glent-worth said the collection will be filled outin coming months as staff learn about thelibrary’s users and the types of materials andbooks being used and taken out.

But those already on the shelves are justawaiting their first readers.

“These books have never been taken out,they’ve never been touched.”

The body of a man who died in a Chilli-wack car accident in March has beenrecovered in the Pitt River near Port

Coquitlam.Coquitlam Mounties identified a body found

in the river last week as that of a 45-year-oldChilliwack man who went missing after adeadly crash in that city on March 10.

Police said they would not be disclosing thename of the man out of respect for the family’sprivacy.

The man’s body was discovered on themorning of May 1 by someone on the waternot far from shore near Harken Towing.

The man is believed to be one of two peoplekilled in a crash in Chilliwack along the FraserRiver. A Ford F150 pickup truck entered the

river near the intersection of McDonald andBallam roads late in the evening on March 10.

Mounties recovered the body of a woman inthe river shortly after, identified as that of 40-year-old Teena Louise Carreck of Chilliwack.

A recovery effort for the second body waslaunched using SONAR to probe beneath anunderwater debris field, but the search wascalled off a couple of weeks later.

Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said it’snot unusual for a body to make its way thatfar down the river, adding it’s only a matter oftime once the body absorbs enough water forit to begin floating.

However, he said the discovery should bringa measure of closure to the man’s family.

“Now they know they can give him a properburial,” Chung said.

“When someone’s dead and the body’s notfound, there’s no closure.”

The Chilliwack Sports Hall of Fame hopesto nominate its first slate of inductees inOctober, city council heard Tuesday.

The Hall of Fame, which will be locatedon the concourse of Prospera Centre, is thebrainchild of Judy Fitzsimmons and hasbeen four years in the making.

Fitzsimmons explained the Hall of Fameduring a presentation to council Tuesdayand announced that the organization wasbeginning its nomination process.

“We are committed to honouring out-standing sports achievements at the elitelevel and educate our community in its very

rich sports legacy,” she said. “The ChilliwackSports Hall of Fame will recognize players,coaches, managers and teams that haveachieved.”

Nominations will close June 15, with aninduction ceremony planned for a Chilli-wack Chiefs game in mid-October, Fitzsim-mons said.

The Hall of Fame will include both a staticdisplay and two television screens.

“I think it’s great that it’s not just going tobe a dusty display of old pictures,” MayorSharon Gaetz said. “Thank you for movingus into this century.”

Laurie ThronessChilliwack/Hope

John MartinChilliwack

Next Tuesday, Chilliwackvoters will elect two newMLAs, or members of the

legislative assembly. Many willthink we’re electing representa-tives in Victoria. Those people areadorable.

The name on the ballot mightbe Gwen O’Mahony, John Martin,Chad Eros or Kim Reimer, butditch the rose-coloured glasses:you’re voting for the party andits leader, not the name on theballot.

As investigative journalistSean Holman has noted, 99.75per cent—or 399 in 400—of allvotes in the B.C. legislature havetoed the party line. That meansthat whoever you elect Tuesdaywill do exactly as his or her partywhip instructs.

That’s fine, of course, if you’revoting for a party and leaderwhose views align with your corebeliefs. But if you think your can-didate of choice is willing to speakhis or her mind instead of toe theline, well, good luck with that.

(Those parties that call formore free votes—the Greensand the BC Conservatives—areunlikely to send more than oneMLA to Victoria. Free votes aren’ta risk when you’re a party of one.)

There have been a few recentcases of politicians breaking with

their party. Blair Lekstrom desert-ed the Liberals, Bob Simpson gotbooted from the NDP for crossinghis leader, and John van Dongenfled both the Liberals and theBC Conservatives. Lekstrom hasreturned to the Liberals. Simpsonand van Dongen, meanwhile,have struck out on his own.

But there is little indication thatany of the local candidates whoare likely to be elected next weekwould be prepared to abandonthe comfortable confines of partydiscipline should they head toVictoria.

Sure, they might argue that theywill work to change the systemfrom the inside. The problemis, it’s impossible to know what,exactly, your faithful representa-tive is pushing for in Victoria.Caucus meetings are secret. Youcan hope your MLAs work hardto advance their—and your—causes. They can say they’redoing so. But he or she mightspend the meetings playing

Angry Birds on their governmentiPhone for all you know.

It’s also not clear exactly howinvolved MLAs are in the pro-curing of government moneyfor their hometowns. Surely, agovernment MLA is not requiredin order to get a road built or ahospital renovated. At least itshouldn’t be.

The argument for why youshould vote for the best can-didate is identical to why youshould vote at all: as part ofa larger group—as one voiceamong many, whether in a ballotbox or a legislature—your voteand your MLA contributes todemocracy, such as it is.

Elect an idiot, and you makeyour legislature incrementallydumber than it already is; electsomeone who sees the systemfor what it is, and you’ll makeyour government a little moreaccountable.

But if you’re not thrilled withany of your options, and if youwant your vote to have an impacton how the province is run, votefor the party and the leader thatmatches your values. At least thenyou won’t feel betrayed whenyour local MLA decides it’s bet-ter to parrot party talking pointsthan tell you what he or she reallythinks.

Editor:Mr. Ken Baigent sent a

response to the Times (Sepa-rating Myth From Fact, May2) stating that he was trou-bled by the tone of authorityin my writing (Faith Today).

He takes offence that Iwrite and speak of JesusChrist as a real historicalperson asserting that scien-tists and historians have noevidence to support this.

I can appreciate andeven expect that there willalways be debate aroundChristianity regarding Jesus’miracles, his resurrectionand his claim to be God.However, to state that Jesusnever actually existed as ahistorical figure is to com-mit intellectual suicide. Youdon’t have to be a Christianto believe that Jesus walkedthis Earth. The Bible, writtensources outside the Bible,and archeological evidenceaffirms the fact that Jesusactually was a real historicalfigure.

The most credible andreliable historical book thatproves the existence of ahistorical Jesus is the Bible—but I assume Mr. Baigentdoes not put much stock init. So let’s take a look at out-side sources and archeologi-cal evidence.

Most credible scholars,even those who don’t believein the deity of Jesus willaffirm the fact that he was areal person. Scholars suchas Bart Ehrman (an agnos-tic) states that Jesus, “. . .certainly existed, as virtuallyevery competent scholarof antiquity, Christian ornon-Christian, agrees”(B.Ehrman. 2011 Forged:Writing In The Name of God.Pg. 285).

The early writings of Jose-phus (a Roman-Jewish his-torian) as well as the Romanhistorian Tacitus both referto Jesus, his ministry and hisdeath. Archeological discov-eries have verified the Bibli-cal accounts that are writtenin the Bible, specifically theGospels that tell the story ofJesus. For example, in 1990the actual tomb of Caiaphas,the high priest who presidedover Jesus’ trial, was discov-ered south of Jerusalem.I could go on but space islimited.

Simply put, any seriousstudent of history will dis-cover that Jesus was not amyth but an actual personwho walked this Earth.

This fact speaks to a deep-er issue. If Jesus was a realhistorical figure then thenext step for a serious criticto take would be to studythe claims of Jesus. Manypeople have done just thatand have discovered Jesus tobe who he claimed he was—God. That’s why millionsof people all throughout his-tory, as Mr. Baigent wrote,are in the “crazy grip” of thisreligion called Christianity.They’ve discovered a per-sonal relationship with Godthrough Jesus Christ.

So here’s my challenge. Doa serious study on Jesus, seewhat he claimed about him-self and look at what he did.As the great writer C.S. Lewissaid in regards to Jesus; hewas either a liar, a lunatic orhe truly is Lord. I’d be curi-ous to see which conclusionyour journey leads you to.

Shawn VandopPromontory Ministries

Where’s thepeer review?Editor:

Regarding the “Separatingmyth from fact” article thatappeared in the Times onMay 7, I must express myconcern.

In Matthew 7:2, Jesus isreported to have said, “Foryou will be treated as youtreat others. The standardyou use in judging is thestandard by which you willbe judged,” or words tothat effect. Now, the articleappearing in the Times

claims to have been writtenby a Ken Baigent, but I can-not find any scientific evi-dence that this Ken Baigentactually exists. There is notone scientific paper pub-lished in any peer-reviewedscience journals that wouldcontradict the statement

“Ken Baigent does not exist.”Not one. I ask you, shouldthe Times be printing theletter of a person whoseexistence has not beenverified by peer-reviewedscientific journals? Why arewe treating this Ken Baigentas though he exists? For the

Times to lend its authorityto such a perplexing myth is—very troubling.

Of course, some mightwonder why the Times

should print my letter, treat-ing me as though I exist.What scientific evidenceexists in my favour, and whois to say I am who I say I am?You who are reading thisletter may only be imagin-ing that you are reading thisletter.

Wrestling with suchexistential conundrums,Descartes declared “I think,therefore I am.” Or maybehe didn’t. Not sure where thehard proof exists for Des-cartes existence. Though it istrue that Descartes appearsin some history books, sotoo does Jesus, Julius Caesar,Aristotle, and Socrates, andif Ken Baigent’s standard isbroadly applied, then theexistence of all such menof history must be regardedwith profound skepticism.

Robert BogunovicChilliwack

Larger issuesto talk aboutEditor:

In your article “Strahlspeaks on growing concern,”(Times, April 30) Mark Strahlhas taken on what I considerto be a local issue.

While medical drug usein our community is a validconcern, we do have localprocesses for dealing withthis. I direct Mr. Strahl to bewatching out for his con-

stituents’ affairs by keepingus informed on federal andinternational issues. Andthese issues abound.

In the wake of the BostonMarathon bombing, andthe perceived threat of a ViaRail derailment, Parliamenthas enacted tougher terror-ism laws. These laws havea direct bearing on Canadi-ans’ personal freedoms.

The U.S. is still makingwar-like gestures towardsSyria and Iran. And, eventhough Canadians are tiredof endless wars, it is clearthat Peter McKay is driven tobe a part it.

Now, Parliament haspassed budget laws that pro-vide banks access to Cana-dian savings accounts, in amove reminiscent of recentevents in Cyprus. Canadianretirement savings could beat risk.

We aided NATO in creat-ing the current chaos takingplace in Libya. In Afghani-stan we are still spendingthe remains of what they tellus is $23 billion, and whatare we getting out of thattraining mission anyway?I want Mark Strahl to talkabout this stuff, and to getour opinions to take back toOttawa.

Neighbours could discussan overly large local medi-cal grow-op with the police.Constituents should discussfederal and internationalissues with Mr Strahl.

Don’t mess withMother NatureEditor:

The ocean has been over-fished. The forests are beingtaken over by technologywith many loggers losingtheir jobs.

Soon the forests will bedepleted. Workers for pipe-lines will be hired for a shorttime. The oil companies willmake all the money. Theaboriginals know that somany things can go wrongwith pipelines. They are intune with Mother Earth andmany are against the oilpipelines. One spill is onetoo many.

Don’t mess with MotherNature; she will get even—you can count on it.

The Chilliwack secondary seniorgirls soccer team took their first-round opponents in the Fraser Val-

ley Championships by storm Tuesday,trouncing North Surrey 4-0.

“We started a little nervous, which is tobe expected, and then we took over thegame,” Storm coach Shane Mummerysaid. “Carmen Devette had an outstand-ing game and controlled the entire mid-

field. She alsoscoredthreeofour goals. Ourentire backline playede x c e p t i o n -ally well, andKaitlyn Lind-out recordedher seventh

shutout of the season. Dana Broadbenthas been a force for us all year and keptthings together for us all game. KristaBartel knotched the other goal with agreat run and equally great finish.”

The Storm are now looking to clincha provincial championship berth in agame against Terry Fox today (Thursday)at Townsend Park.

Kickoff is at 3:30 p.m.“I have every bit of confidence that

we will be representing Chilliwack at theprovincial championships,” Mummerysaid. “Our team has come together verywell and we are playing a nice brand ofsoccer right now.”

Sardis secondary, meanwhile, faredless well against their first round oppo-

nents, falling 3-2 to a tough South Deltaside at Sardis Tuesday.

The Falcons’ goals came from BekkyClemens and Sydney Steeves.

Sardis, who went undefeated in theregular season, now faces eliminationin the double-knockout tournamentagainst Centennial at home Thursday.

“I’m a little disappointed, a little frus-trated because we had two starters out,”

coach Richard Tagle said. “It had a hugeimpact losing those.”

He said it would be hard to judge theteam’s chances from here on becauseteams that qualify for the Fraser Valleystend to be very evenly matched.

The Falcons play Thursday at 3:30 p.m.

And let us not lose heart in doinggood, for in due time we shall reapif we do not grow weary.”

Galatians 6:9

BY REV. WILLEM H. VAN DE WALLCooke’s Presbyterian Church

The ancient Greeks called Sisy-phus the “craftiest of men”but to us, he is the symbol of

futility.From the Greek mythology, the

story is told of the proud Sisyphuswho was punished by the gods forhis sin of pride. His arduous taskwas to roll a huge boulder to the topof a hill. It took Sisyphus all of theday to do this, toiling up the steep,tree-hung incline and it exhaustedhim utterly. Each evening, as thefirst stars appeared, Sisyphus wouldreach the top of the hill. And eachevening the boulder would slip fromhis hands and roll back down to the

bottom . . . and this happened dayafter day and was never going tostop. I think there are those amongus who could identify ourselves withthe story of Sisyphus. Day after daywe toil, but there are so many thingswe just can’t accomplish. Some peo-ple spent a life-time to accomplishthe one thing they always dreamtabout, but they never reaped thefruits of success.

In our Christian pilgrimage wearen’t exempt from discouragement.Just like so many of the charactersin the Bible, we feel like crying out,“Lord, this is enough!” There are thetimes when we feel like Elijah whoreached the point to give up hopewhen he sat under the broom bush.There are different reasons why we

feel spiritually discouraged:There is the lack of spiritual

growth. Some Christians growdiscouraged because they are notspiritually where they thought theywould be at this point in their lives.A man walked up to Billy Grahamafter one of his crusades and saidwith frustration in his voice, “Whatyou just talked about doesn’t workfor me. I attended so many semi-nars; I bought books on prayer andI went from pastor to pastor . . . butthere isn’t the sense I feel aboutspiritual progress.”

There are unfulfilled expecta-tions. There are those who growdespondent over the fact that thingsthey have prayed for have not yetcome into realization. And then

those things most often aren’t aboutselfish ambition. No, it’s about Godmaking us more productive in Hisservice. How should we understandthe expression, “Pray; God listens”?

Perhaps as you read this article,you have your own personal reasonswhy you feel spiritually discour-aged.There is wonderful news.Wecan conquer discouragement. Godknows about the challenges we face.He knows that, because of this fallenworld in which we live.The obstaclesand the thorn bushes come in ourway. And now our God comes to usjust as He went to Joshua and said,“. . . do not be discouraged, for theLord your God will be with you wher-ever you go.”To this end He encour-ages us to have faith and to trust Him

to bring things to pass in His perfecttime. Don’t lose heart. Even thoughwe go through trying times, throughtimes of transition, through timesof change and periods when thingsare up and down, if we will remainfaithful, persevering in that whichGod has called us to do, He will bringit to pass.This is not some wild hope,wish or dream.This is a promise Godhas made to us to always go withus on life’s journey.The ride mightsometimes be rough and bumpy,but the end result will be out of thisworld. How can we truly conquer dis-couragement? Only when we focuson the finishing line. God will bringus and our families through any situ-ation.We have to believe what St.Paul wrote:“for in due time we shallreap if we do not grow weary.”◗ Rev.Willem H. van deWall is theminister at Cooke’s PresbyterianChurch and can be reached at 604-792-2154 or [email protected].

The virgin grass of Sardis secondary’sbrand new $450,00 playing field isabout to be trampled by the cleats of

60 rugby boots as the senior boy’s rugby teamtakes on Semiahmoo in their first and onlyhome game of the season today (Thursday).

Falcons teams have stayed off the field—put in in late September—so the grass could takefirm root, but the schooldecided to open it up forone time only so the seniorboys could play their firstplayoff game there.

The team has certainlyearned it, playing their bestseason ever this year.

After four years in Tier 1, the team’s 3-1regular season record earned them their first-ever top-spot finish in their division, and theynotched their first honourable mention inprovincial rankings as well.

“Every year we’ve gotten better,” said coachDarren Purych, who’s been with the teamsince 2008. “It’s just building, just year after

year.”In terms of numbers, he can’t remember a

better season with 26 to 27 players regularlycoming out to pratice.

But having two national-level players (Lou-is Retief, who plays for Canada’s U-17 squad,and Joey Campbell, a member of B.C.s EliteYouth Sevens side that traveled to Hong Kongthis spring) on the team hasn’t hurt either.

In the past, these and other high-level play-ers risked career-impacting injuries on theold, non-irrigated, poorly drained field thatwas so rutted, Purych said he could actuallylose sight of a rugby ball on it.

“It was in the middle of the field in a divot,and I couldn’t see it from the sideline,” hesaid.

The new sand-based, irrigated field will bea boon, not just for the school’s rugby, soccerand baseball teams, but to community teams

as well, Purych said.“It’s a huge, huge ben-

efit to the community andto the school. I’m verypleased,” he said.

On Thursday, though,the pitch will belong to theFalcons rugby team, andPurych intends to makethe most of it and maybe

even lead his boys to their first-ever provin-cial berth.

But first things first.“We’re going to stick to our same-old game

plan,” he said, “go hard into the rucks, anddefence defence defence.”◗ Sardis kicks off against Semiahmoo on thenew field at 4 p.m.

Local kayakers say they are opposed to

a plan to install a run-of-river power

project on a Chilliwack River Valley

creek.Tamihi Creek, which enters the Chilli-

wack River just west of the Tamihi Rapids,

is popular with kayakers, who say an eight-

kilometre stretch provides a diverse range of

whitewaters that attracts users from around

the world.

But kayakers fear they won’t be able to use

the creek if a run-of-river power project pro-

posed for the creek goes ahead.

During BC Hydro’s 2006 call for tenders for

independent power

projects, KMC Energy,

a subsidiary of Win-

dRiver Power Corp.,

successfully bid for the

right to install a run-

of-river project on the

creek.

While the Tamihi remains undeveloped,

kayaker Adam Frey was spooked when he

recently visited and found pink flagging tape

lining the entire run.

When contacted by the Times, WindRiver

chief development officer Greg Trainor con-

firmed the project is “in the pre-consultation

planning stages.”

Trainor said that while the company is not

saying much publicly about the project at

this time, “there will be ample opportunity

to discuss the project during the public con-

sultation process at which time better infor-

mation will be available.”

If and when the project gets to that point,

WindRiver will face opposition to their

plans.Frey, who represents the Vancouver Kay-

ak Club (VKC) on the Outdoor Recreation

Council (ORC) of BC, said the creek is a local

treasure that provides an economic benefit

to the Chilliwack area.

Aformer firefighter dismissed

because of his age says a lack

of manpower often makes it

impossible for the Chilliwack Fire

Department (CFD) to adhere to

operational guidelines meant to

reduce health and safety risks.

Russell Shellard has asked the BC

Human Rights Tribunal to rule that

the City of Chilliwack’s mandatory

retirement age of 60 for firefighters is

discriminatory. On Friday, the tribu-

nal declined to throw out Shellard’s

complaint.

Shellard, formerly a paid-on-call

firefighter, was forced out of the

department at the start of 2012.

In his submission to the tribunal,

Shellard argued“it is not uncommon

with CFD fire ground scenes to be

lacking sufficient manpower in order

to follow operational guidelines set

out to reduce health and safety risks

for firefighters. . . . The older per-

sonnel, because of life experiences,

are vital and help reduce the risk of

health and safety on all emergency

scenes.”The city says the age requirement

is needed because the job’s physical

demands put older firefighters more

at risk of deadly on-the-job heart

attacks.According to the tribunal’s ruling,

Fire Chief Rick Ryall suggested “the

work for paid-on-call firefighters is

more dangerous than for full-time

career firefighters” because they

can be paged at any time and must

Cassidy Ediger’s bedroom in her Chilliwack

home is filled with flower-shaped lights, and

the walls are painted blue.

“Same colour as a Tiffany box,”

said her mom, Carolyn Ediger. “When we head

home, she starts to laugh and giggle. It’s like

heaven to her—it’s where she wants to be.”

The Ediger family’s 12-year-long fight for jus-

tice after their daughter Cassidy was left with

severe brain damage due to a botched delivery has final-

ly come to a close.

Cassidy, now 15, lives with spastic quadriplegia and

cerebral palsy. She and her family will be awarded $3.2

million in damages after the Supreme Court of Canada

unanimously restored a decision this month against

obstetrician and gynecologist William G. Johnston for

breaching the standard of care during her birth in 1998.

The initial 2009 trial decision found he had failed to

ensure a backup surgical staff was readily available to

help deliver the child by caesarean section when a for-

ceps procedure failed.

Johnston successfully appealed that decision in 2011,

before the family pushed to have the case heard in Can-

ada’s top court.

“We’re really overjoyed and just completely over-

whelmed,” said Ediger, who launched the court action

in 2008 on behalf of her daughter, and had even begun

discussing legal action when Cassidy was only

three.“It’s a huge burden lifted off our shoulders

and it’s just complete peace of mind, knowing

we’ll be able to provide for her (financially) for

the rest of her life.”

In January 1998, Johnston induced labour early

at 38 weeks after determining Ediger’s pregnancy was high

risk. After running into complications part way through

the delivery, he decided to switch to a caesarean proce-

dure instead, and left the room to make arrangements.

It has been a long fight for Cassidy Ediger’s family with her mother Carolyn Ediger seen here at their home in Chilli-

wack last week. Last Thursday the Supreme Court of Canada restored a $3.2-million award for a botched forceps

Aboriginal elders will rally at

the Sto:lo Nation grounds

Wednesday to protest a

“moral injustice” they say they

have suffered at the hands of the

Coqualeetza Cultural Education

Centre (CCEC) board of directors.

The Coqualeetza Elders Group

(CEG) has been a part of CCEC

for almost 40 years, but in Janu-

ary, members say the CCEC board

suddenly and without consulta-

tion announced it was dissolv-

ing the program and, further, that

any group that remained would

be forbidden to use the name

“Coqualeetza.”

Members of the group, which

meets weekly for luncheons and

engages in cultural activities in the

community, said they have tried

unsuccessfully to meet with the

board to resolve the issue and now

have no choice but to make their

grievance public.

“What they’re doing is totally dis-

respectful,” CEG president Virginia

Joe said of the board, “and in our

culture respect is one of the biggest

things that we talk about.”

The Jan. 30 letter announcing

the dissolution of the group pro-

vides no rationale for the board’s

decision, stating only that the

board had “reviewed [its] mandate

regarding program funding and

service delivery” and was dissolv-

ing the group “following the CCEC

mandate and policies, the voices of

Tamihi Creek has become

a “poster child” for British

Columbia waterways endan-

gered by independent power proj-

ects (IPP), according to a provincial

recreation group.

The popular kayaking creek—

which feeds into the Chilliwack River

just below the Tamihi Rapids—has

been named one of two “rivers to

watch” by the Outdoor Recreation

Council (ORC) of British Colum-

bia, which released its annual Most

Endangered Rivers List Monday.

The Fraser River was also on the

list, having been named the second-

most endangered river in the prov-

ince, behind the Peace.

Tamihi Creek is the location of a

proposed 15-megawatt power proj-

ect by KMC Energy, a subsidiary of

WindRiver Power Corp. Last month

the Times reported that local kay-

aker Adam Frey recently found pink

flagging tape along the entire run,

leading to worries that work on the

project would soon begin.

A WindRiver official told the Times

the project is in the “pre-consulta-

tion planning stages.”

ORC executive director Jeremy

McCall said the Tamihi is a stand-

in for hundreds of creeks and rivers

around the province that are threat-

ened by such projects.

“They’re called run-of-river proj-

ects [but] that is almost a total mis-

nomer,” McCall said. Instead, he

says the projects siphon off much

of the water and divert it through

pipes, thereby affecting fish down-

stream and the humans who use

the waterways for recreational pur-

poses.“To many, Tamihi Creek is becom-

ing a poster child of sorts, empha-

sizing the need for better regional

planning when it comes to IPP devel-

opment; something that has been

Ayear after reporting that Chill-iwack residents were threemore times likely than aver-age British Columbians to be

licensed medical marijuana growers,the Times has learned the number hastripled.

According to figures obtained throughan Access to Information request inJanuary 2012, 238 Chilliwackresidents were licensed topossess marijuana for medi-cal reasons and 193 werelicensed to produce marijua-na for medical purposes.

There were 4,608 licensedusers and 3,831 licensedgrowers in all of BritishColumbia 13 months ago. That trans-lated to about 85 growers and 102 usersper 100,000 people. But Chilliwack hadabout 280 growers and 344 users per100,000 residents.

Health Canada has told the Times

there are now 666 persons in Chilliwackwho hold a licence to possess marijua-na for medical purposes.

That’s a 180 per cent increase in oneyear and mirrors provincial increases.As of Feb. 18, there were 13,362 peoplein B.C. authorized to possess, up 190per cent from a year ago, and account-

ing for nearly half of the 28,076 acrossCanada.

The number of those growing mari-juana increased even more.

As of last week, there were 513 indi-viduals in Chilliwack who hold personaluse production licences (PUPL) and 77who hold designated person produc-tion licences (DPPL). Assuming the 193number from a year ago included bothPUPLs and DPPLs (Health Canada wasunable to confirm this by press time)

that’s a three-fold, or 206per cent, increase in grow-ers in the city in one year.

Provincewide, the num-ber of growers rose from3,831 a year ago to 11,601(9,369 PUPLs and 2,232DPPLs) today. That com-pares to a total of 9,846

growers in the nine other provinces andthree territories combined.

In the past decade, Health Canadasays the medical marijuana programhas grown exponentially across thecountry, from under 500 authorizedpersons in 2002 to more than 28,000today.

Mayor Sharon Gaetz and several citycouncillors have made no secret of theirhealth and safety concerns regardingmedical marijuana licences.


More local students aregraduating within sixyears of starting Grade 8,

but the Chilliwack school districtstill lags almost seven per centbehind the provincial grad-rateaverage, according to 2011-12 sta-tistics released last week.

The district saw a 3.3 per centincrease in its six-year completionrate overall last year, with a 5.1 percent gain among girls and a 1.4 percent bump among boys.

Since grad rates in the provinceas a wholeimprovedb y l e s st h a n o n ep e r c e n t ,2 0 1 1 - 1 2saw Chilli-wack makethe biggestgains against the provincial aver-age in more than 10 years.

One important area where thisdidn’t apply, however, was amongaboriginal students.

While the provincial averagethere went up by 2.7 per cent, Chill-iwack saw a 2.7 per cent decline,putting its aboriginal rate 3.5 percent below the provincial average.

Before last year, grad rates inChilliwack had consistently comein about 10 per cent below theprovincial average for more than adecade.

But local officials now say thosefigures haven’t accurately reflect-ed the real picture in Chilliwackbecause the traditional six-year

Grad ratebetter,but stillbehindprovince

He said the tennis courtsat Portage Park were like asecond home to Kostrzewa.She had a long history insport, bowling in six WesternCanadian Championshipsbetween 1950 and 1961. Butshe was most passionateabout tennis, coaching juniorand senior players from 1955to 1976 and organizing tour-naments between 1979 and1985. She was instrumentalin the creation of the Chilli-wack Tennis Club.

Kostrzewa played activelyuntil the age of 80, accordingto Pederson.

In 1984, Dorothy was rec-ognized as the “Sportsmanof the Year” for her serviceto young people, and in 2011she was named a Commu-nity Sport Hero.

Counci l ’s decis ion toapprove the renaming Tues-

day was followed by a slide-show featuring photos fromKostrzewa’s entire life, whichevoked tears from many,including the mayor.

Kostrzewa was first electedto council in 1971 and wasthe first Chinese-Canadianwoman elected to publicoffice in Canada. She served31 years on council along-side seven mayors, finallystepping down in 2008.

In 2006, she was named bythe Vancouver Sun as one ofthe 100 Chinese-Canadiansmaking a difference in B.C.

On Tuesday, Gaetz pre-sented her children with abook of condolences thathad been set up at city hallsince she passed on Jan. 11.

“We are just so sad that shehas passed on but so happy toknow her legacy has lived on,”Gaetz said. “We love her.”

The most prominent change to the Yale/Vedder route is to extend it north to theBroadway/Yale area and south to directly ser-vice the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV)and the Tyson area.

The added service won’t mean any reduc-tion in the 20-minute service as a new buswill be added to the route.

Another critical element of the three-yearplan comes in year two, when BC Transit ishoping to start service between Chilliwackand Abbotsford, according to Orfield.

She added that it had become somewhatcomplicated because of the different jurisdic-tions and they were still working on where thebuses should go in each city.

Also in year two, buses will start as early as6:30 a.m. extending to 11 p.m.

◗ Public consultation on the three-year planis scheduled for May 22 from 6 to 8 p.m. at theCoast Hotel and on May 23 from 2 to 4 p.m. atUFV in Chilliwack.

I have a young family, a husband and three kidsand my life is very complex. I needed choice,customization and spending a lot of money onglasses was something I couldn’t justify. My GreatGlasses experience was awesome. I didn’t need anappointment for my eye test and I got three pairsof glasses for less than I paid for one pair at myregular optical store. I couldn’t believe how greatthe deal was and how accommodating the staffwere to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere butGreat Glasses in the future.

I’m so glad that Bruce was willing to fight for goodcustomer value.

Kim Reimer - GreenI will be proud to say that

unemploymentinChilliwackwill have been reduced, themetro Vancouver incineratorwill have been thwarted andthe people of Chilliwack willhave a say when it comes todecisions that affect us.


Michael Henshall - BC Con-servative

As a reason for my re-elec-tion I will be able to say thatI took a stand for the people

of this area and all BritishColumbians in providing effi-cient, accountable, transpar-ent government that works forthe people. I will also be ableto say that I fought to makelife affordable for the peopleof the area so that they wouldnot have to move from theirprovince to work and survive.

Gwen O’Mahony - NDPI’m running for re-election

right now and campaign-ing on the style of leader-ship I personally feel is theway representatives ought toengage with their constitu-ents regardless if they are inopposition or government.They are the three “L’s” of

Leadership: listen, learn,lead. These principles, if car-ried out in that order, arethe fundamentals of inte-gral leadership and I believethat this past year I have hadthe opportunity to be anexample of these principlesin action. If I should be suc-cessful in being re-elected

and if the NDP should besuccessful in becoming gov-ernment, after a four-yearterm I would tout our suc-cess at making modest keyinvestments while payingdown the current deficit--in other words carrying outwhat we said we would do inour platform, no surprises.

Laurie Throness - BC LiberalI hope to be able to say

that I worked hard and didmy best for the people ofChilliwack-Hope, that theriding is in better shape thanwhen I found it, that the B.C.economy is improving, andthat the government haskept its promises.

It might be difficultto implement provincewide,however.There is a movementfor local communities to notwant to feel like big govern-ments are dropping the ham-mer in their communities andtelling how to run them.

severe dangers to the environmentand human health they pose, willnot use them.

I believe that before expandingthe non-smoking zones, we mustsuccessfully enforce the existinglaws. There are several existingsmoking bans in public places,parks, bus exchanges and the like,but until they are successfullyenforced further expansion of thelaws is redundant.

Patti MacAhonic - NDPIf elected the NDP will introduce

new legislation to ban the useof cosmetic pesticides. This hasbeen a long standing NDP policy.In fact, as opposition, the NDPtabled legislation for a pesticideban several times, then worked to

find co-operation with the Liberalparty to pass the legislation, butthe Liberal party did not think itwas a priority.

John Martin - BC LiberalToday’s BC Liberals are espe-

cially proud of having the lowestincidence of cancer in the country;and of those who do get cancer, thevery best survival rate in the coun-try. Any and all evidence-basedproposals that could potentiallyassist in prevention are worthy ofconsideration.

Kim Reimer - GreenDefinitely. There is strong evi-

dence suggesting a correlationbetween cosmetic pesticidesand cancer. There is no reasonwe need to be using them on ourdandelions. I also support the

creation of smoke-free outdoorspaces, especially places wherechildren play.


Michael Henshall - BC Conserva-tive

I personally have an organic gar-den and don’t use pesticide on myfruit trees. I agree certain pesti-cides need banning. I am not well-enough informed to know whichones, but if elected I would be

willing to look into it further. B.C.government needs to make deci-sions for human safety that willprevent cancers and provide fora healthy environment for BritishColumbians.

In regards to smoke-free areasin some smaller provincial parksor on some beaches it is somethingthat I agree we should have. Oftensmaller parks and beaches wouldfall under municipal jurisdictionand is much easier to enforce on amunicipal level.

Laurie Throness - BC LiberalPublic policy should be based on

the best science as well as regardfor individual freedoms. In the caseof cosmetic pesticides, I’m not con-vinced that science supports a ban,although individual municipalitieshave instituted them. I am con-

cerned that bans on cosmetic pes-ticides will one day be expandedto agricultural uses, which wouldseverely hamper the production offood, and raise its costs.

In the case of smoking, whileI have never smoked and wouldencourage ever yone to quit,banning smoking in outdoorpublic places may intrude on per-sonal freedoms to an unwarrant-ed degree. A person who smokesalone on a beach, for example,could be breaking such a law.

Gwen O’Mahony - NDPWe will institute a provincewide

ban on cosmetic pesticides.

Robert Crofton-Sleigh asks: “Is strongercommunity-based consultation and deci-sion-making part of your party’s program?”

✓2013Election


Chad Eros - BC ConservativeOur party has small gov-

ernment and constituencyover party whip built in to ourconstitution. I mentioned thisas weakness and strength inregards to the question about“one thing our party needs towork on?” I am in support ofcommunity based consulta-tion and decision making. Forexample, we need a water-shed authority in B.C. thatconsults with the public oncommercial dig projects thateffect the water shed. Ontar-io has one, the 27 countriesin the EU, and many otheradvanced countries.

Michael Halliday - ExcaliburYes. We need a basic frame-

work, within which commu-nities have a strong say. TheKinder Morgan pipeline is athreattothesafetyandwelfareof the communities throughwhich it runs, as are threatsto the water supply and wildsalmon runs versus salmonfarming and communitiesshould have vetoing power.A centralized governmentdoes not fully understand theneeds and issues communi-ties face and therefore cannotexercise control without fullcommunity involvement. Thechlorination of the drinkingwater is the prime exampleof where an outside force dic-tates a course of action a com-munity does not accept.

Patti MacAhonic - NDPThe NDP wants to restore

meaningful community con-sultation to the decision mak-ingprocess,fromourproposalfor enhanced “made in B.C.”environmental reviews sothat we have the final say, tocommitting to strengtheningFreedom of Information lawsso that communities have allthe facts before them beforedecisions are made.

John Martin - BC LiberalAbsolutely; for example,

today’s BC Liberals are callingfor cross community consul-tation on the Water Sustain-

ability Act. It is always ideal toengage in genuine consulta-tion with a variety of constitu-encies.

Kim Reimer - GreenAbsolutely. We want to see a

lot more public consultationand decision making author-ity, especially for issues affect-ing our land air and water.


Michael Henshall - BC Con-servative

BC Conservative leaderJohn Cummins has alwayssaid our primary responsibil-ity is constituents before theparty. This is what separatesus from the rest. I have a per-sonal belief that individualsclosest to home are best ableto deal with local issues. Thisform of government requiresless provincial bureaucracy.I would like to see fundingand decisions passed down tomunicipal and local govern-ments wherever possible.

Gwen O’Mahony - NDPYes. In fact, the NDP plat-

form as stated “is the result ofintensive consultation withBritish Columbians by ourparty and the entire NDP cau-cus.” As a newly elected MLA,I dedicated the greatest part ofthe year consulting with localelected officials, the businesscommunity, the non-profitsector, Aboriginal leaders,Skills Training Stakeholdersand individuals about whatthey believe would indeed bechange for the better for ourprovince.

Laurie Throness - BC LiberalTransparency and consul-

tation are already integral toour government. For exam-ple, in our platform alone wehave promised to consult onforest management practic-es, on a transportation strat-egy for Vancouver Island, ona Water Sustainability Act forBC. On issues concerningwater sustainability, I wouldadvocate for strong commu-nity input to be built into thelegislation.

Creating a walkway or patio out of pav-ing stones can add aesthetic appeal toa property. Pavers are less permanent

than concrete and decking. As a result, it iseasier to change the design later on if youwant to give the space a new look.

Homeowners who install their own paverscan save a considerable amount of money.Because installing paving stones can belabour-intensive, landscape contractorsmay charge a premium for installation.

However, this is a project that can be tackledby the do-it-yourselfer.

1. Measure and plot out the area that willbecome the path or patio. The area of thespace can be figured out by multiplyinglength times width. This will help you deter-mine just how much material you will need.

2. Visit the home improvement store or asupplier of stone and other masonry

Afew weeks ago aharassed gardenerasked me if there

are any maintenance-freeplants.

Apparently ‘weeds’ wasnot the answer she wasseeking.

Anyone who wants a non-weed garden will be facedwith some maintenance atsome stage. But some plantsare certainly less needy thanothers—and choosing thosecan easily reduce mainte-nance.

For instance, gardenerswho focus on native plantsas habitat and a food sup-ply for wildlife can enjoy amuch more relaxed type ofgarden.

Many native plants suchas salmon berries, thimble-berries, Indian plum andsalal have beautiful flowersand nutritious berries. Butthey’re only maintenance-free for a while. Later,because they’re so welladapted to our soil and cli-mate, they cover more andmore space as roots expandand seeds find good spots tosprout.

At some point the gar-dener must pick up a spadeand establish firm boundar-ies for paths, driveway andother valued areas. This canbecome a yearly task.

Native ferns are muchcloser to being truly main-tenance-free. One of the

easiest is the native SwordFern. It’s an evergreenwhich does best in a moist,shady situation and the oldfronds form a thick, mulch-ing carpet which surroundsthe plant and suppressesweeds.

Ground-covers are gener-ally thought to be mainte-nance-free also. But in theearly stages, diligent weed-ing is essential. It’s not dif-ficult to end up with weedsthat a ground-cover willactually hide until they’redifficult to uproot.

As well, all ground-coversare invasive to some degree.The more invasive theyare, the more successfullythey cover ground. That’swhy ground covers suchas Vinca minor and Vincamajor, Ajuga species, Ceras-tium tomentosum (summersnow), Lamium galeob-dolon (yellow archangel)can turn into unstoppablemonsters in mild climates.

Many are on invasiveplant lists. With these andothers, sooner or latergardeners must resort tostopping a ground-cover’s

headlong rush for more liv-ing room. It’s worth notinga few ground-covers suchas kenilworth ivy and somelamiums, can also climb.

Some sprawling shrubbyground-covers such asCotoneaster dammeri andjunipers can grow into adense cover where weedswon’t germinate. But thereis still the initial weeding asone gets them established.

In this West Coast climate,rhododendrons demandless attention than mostother plants. But it’s impor-tant to know that no matterhow small a rhododendronseems in the garden cen-tre, many are destined tobecome big shrubs andsome become trees.

A crucial point is plantingthem where they have roomto expand. A spot underwindows or close to doorswill lead to major prun-ing as the rhododendronmatures.

It’s the smaller rho-dodendrons that fit bestinto city-lot size gardens.This includes purplish-pink-flowered PJM rho-dodendrons and the pinkor white-flowered rhodoyakusimanum and itshybrids.

There are also some orna-mental trees which get bywith little or no pruningor care once they’re safelyplanted. One is Sorbusaucuparia (mountain ash)which has beautiful red ororange (rarely yellow) ber-ries that are a feast for birdsin the fall.

Crataegus species canalso be left to grow in theirown way. These variouskinds of hawthorn produceflowers that are usuallywhite or pink (sometimesdouble). Fruits may be red,orange, yellow or blackdepending on the species.

Many people culti-vate gardens bothinside and outside

of their homes with a focuson adding aesthetic appealto their property. But a gar-den that boasts plants thatare edible and pleasing tothe eye is a possibility aswell.

Planting an herb gardenis a creative way to enjoythe sights, smells and tastesof a wide variety of plants.Using fresh-harvested herbsin culinary endeavoursimparts a taste that driedspices cannot match. What’smore, fresh herbs are ofteneasy to cultivate.

Herbs are versatile, capa-ble of lending great flavourto foods while also playingdifferent roles in personalhealth and beauty. Herbscan be grown to perfumehomes and bodies. Thereare herbs that are alsopurported to help with ail-ments, from upset stomachsto anxiety.

When planting an herbgarden, you may want topay particular attention to

the types of flavours andsmells you like in yourhome and cooking. This willhelp you to narrow downthe types of herbs you willplant. Many would-be herbgardeners tend to start smallto see what luck they havewhen cultivating herbs.Fortunately, herbs can growwell in containers indoors,provided the soil is ame-nable and there is plenty ofsunlight.

Herbs will grow best inwell-prepared soil. Makesure that it is rich in organicmatter and drains well. Also,for plants like parsley, besure to have deep pots ordig deeply in the garden toestablish long taproots.

Until the weather warmsup, you may want to begin

herb cultivation indoors andthen transfer plants outsideduring the summer. Basil,for instance, is a tropicalplant that does well in warmconditions. Therefore, it willneed to be kept away fromdrafts and get several hoursof direct sunshine a day.Place most herb planters ina south-facing window ofa home to ensure they getample sunlight and to allowthe soil to dry adequatelybetween waterings.

With many herbs, leaf pro-duction will diminish on anystems that flower. It is essen-tial to pinch off flowers thatform to encourage the herbplant to continue producingleaves, which are the partsof the plant most associatedwith seasoning and aroma.

At Home

When it comes to renovat-ing a home, homeownersexpect to spend money.

No home renovation or improve-ment project is free, but some areless costly than others.

The addition of a half-bath-room is a popular project amonghomeowners, and it won’t neces-sarily break the bank. If convert-ing existing floor space into ahalf-bathroom, such a renovationcan cost as little as a few thousanddollars, making the addition of apowder room one of the few homeimprovement projects where thevalue added to the home exceedsthe cost of the renovation. Beforedeciding to add a half-bathroom, ithelps to consider some of the pros

and cons of the project.

Pros◗ Convenience: A half-bathroomis often added on the home’s mainfloor or in the basement or attic.This makes it more convenient forguests to use the restroom during adinner party or when coming overto watch the big game in a base-ment home-theater area.◗ Problem-free: Half-bathroomsare smaller because they don’thave a shower or bathtub. Thatmeans common bathroom prob-lems like mold and mildew are notas big a concern as they are for fullbathrooms.◗ More choices: Because moldand mildew aren’t likely to pres-

ent a problem in a half-bathroom,homeowners have more optionsat their disposal when choosingfloors and countertops.

Cons◗ Space: As their name implies,half-bathrooms are much smallerthan full bathrooms. As a result,they tend to feel cramped.◗ Value: Though an inexpensivehalf-bathroom addition mightrecoup its value and then someat resale, the project won’t add asmuch resale value to a home as afull bathroom addition might.◗ Loss of storage: If storage aroundthe house is sparse, homeownersmight be better off keeping thearea designated for the half-bath-

room as a storage closet instead ofa bathroom.

Once the pros and cons havebeen weighed, homeowners whowant to go forward with the proj-ect should then check with theirlocal municipality to ensure thecodes and requirements won’trestrict their project. Size or win-dow restrictions might curtail theproject or limit what homeownerscan do, which might change theirminds on the project altogether.

The addition of a half-bathroomoften makes practical and finan-cial sense.

But before making any addition,homeowners must weigh the prosand cons to make the best decisionpossible.

Is it time to add a half-bathroom?

The addition of a half-bathroom isa project that often makes practicaland financial sense.

Lawn care aficionadosknow how a singlebald spot can make

an otherwise luscious lawnlook worn down and poorlymaintained. A bald spot canstick out like a sore thumb,while several bald spots cancompromise a home’s curbappeal.

Treating bald spots typi-cally depends on what iscausing the bald spot. Bugs,dryness, pet waste and dam-age from mowers are someof the more common causesof bald spots. The followingis a breakdown of these dif-ferent causes and how bestto address each situation soyou can restore your lawn toits natural beauty.

DrynessA lawn can go dry because

of drought in the sum-mertime or during thewinter months when thereis not much rain or snow-fall. Homeowners cannotchange the weather, butthey can help their lawnavoid becoming the burnedor yellowed turf that oftenresults after extended peri-ods of dryness. Fertilizingthe lawn during the springand summer is a good firststep. This helps the lawngrow in healthy and thick.Once you have fertilized,don’t cut the grass tooshort. When grass is cuttoo short, the soil strugglesto retain moisture, whichcan eventually lead to baldspots if weather conditionsare dry. During especiallydry periods in the summer,watering might be neces-sary. You won’t have to waterfrequently, but be sure towater deeply so the watercan reach the roots of thegrass.

Pet wasteWaste from pets can

cause bald spots on a yard.

This might surprise somehomeowners, but pet wastecontains a high level ofconcentrated nitrogen that,when applied to a lawn, canburn the grass and causebald spots. Urine is mostlikely to cause bald spots,but fecal matter can as well.

When addressing theproblem of pet waste onyour lawn, make sure noone else’s pets are the causeof the problem. Neighboursout walking their dogsshould be discouraged fromallowing their dogs to useyour lawn as a restroom.If this does not work, thenerect a fence or some typeof structure that makes itdifficult for other people’spets to access your lawn.

When it’s your ownpet causing the damage,address the spots whereyour pet relieves itself asquickly as possible. Water-ing the area within eighthours can significantlyreduce the risk of lawndamage by diluting thenitrogen levels. Anotherway to address the issue isto encourage the animalto use various spots in theyard, rather than continu-ally using the same spot.Flush each area with waterimmediately after the petis finished. If the damageis already considerable,remove the damaged grassand reseed the spot.

Mower damageSometimes Mother

Nature and man’s bestfriend are not the culpritwith regard to bald spotson your lawn. Human errorcan cause bald spots, too.Dull mower blades or grassthat is cut too low can causebald spots. Fortunately, thisis easily remedied.

To avoid bald spots, makesure mower blades aresharpened at the beginning

of each mowing season,as dull blades damage thegrass, which is then forcedto use valuable nutrientsto treat torn grass, weak-ening the lawn over time.When mowing, make sureyou’re not cutting too lowso the soil can retain asmuch moisture as possible.This will necessitate morefrequent mowing, but this,too, can prevent bald spots,as it ensures those parts ofthe grass that contain chlo-

rophyll will not be removed.Bald spots can turn a

pristine lawn into an eye-sore. But treating bald spotscan be easy and, when doneeffectively, the lawn can berestored quickly.

How to repair unsightly bald spots in your lawn

Even the cutest pet can con-tribute to bald spots on your

lawn. The best way to alleviatethe damage pet waste can

cause is to flush the immediatearea and reseed if necessary.


What havethey doneto Grandpa?Hundreds of seniors are stuck in acute

care hospitals and residential care homes –away from their loved ones – because the

government cut home care and eliminated homesupport services.

The government has downloaded services tovolunteers and eliminated professional home supportworkers who are trained and accountable in dealingwith the needs of seniors. Without proper homesupport, many seniors are needlessly forced intoinstitutions.

Universal home supportCOSCO is calling for universal home care and homesupport services, based on need, available seven daysa week to seniors and people with disabilities.

Such a service would allow thousands of seniorsto live with dignity and respect in their own homes,close to families and friends. It would cost much lessthan acute or residential care. It would strengthenour overall public health care system by reducing thepressure on acute care hospitals.

As a matter of both human decency and commonsense economics, providing universal home supportso people can remain in their own homes must be apriority for the next government of our province.

On May 14, please vote for a candidate whowill respect seniors and their families bysupporting universal home care and homesupport services

Like so many plans bothawesome and disastrous,the idea for this year’sVed-der middle school theatre

production was hatched at a middleschool girls’ sleepover.

Fortunately, this mad and hare-brained scheme fell into the awe-some category.

It all began last fall, when Grade

9 students Brooke Cote and Rosede Bruijn decided at a sleepover torewrite Disney’s version of Alice inWonderland and pitch the script fortheir school’s spring production.

They won over their drama teach-ers, and last week their handiwork,ReinventingWonderland, came tolife onVedder middle’s stage for onematinee and two evening perfor-mances.

“It’s way different than I envi-sioned it at the start,” Cote told the

Times after last Thursday’s matineein front of her peers. “I did not thinkwe could pull off Alice inWonder-land, but it happened.”

Some of the scenes and lines inthe Vedder production would havebeen familiar to fans of Disney’s1951 animated feature, but Coteand de Bruijn added plenty oftwists all their own.

Alice’s cat Dinah, for example, wasrecast as a doll (played by Cote) who

accompanies Alice (played by deBruijn) throughout her adventuresinWonderland.

The two collaborators, who arebest friends, wrote the parts hopingthey’d earn a chance to play them.

“We’re really close so we wanted tobe on stage together,” de Bruijn said.

“When I’m acting, I can play offRose really well,” Cote added, “and Ithought that it would be really coolto have two best friends workingtogether.”

Vying unsuccessfully for Dinah’saffections throughout the play areTweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum(played by Jett Higginbottom andRhys Taylor, respectively), whosecharacters were also expanded.

“In the cartoon they’re only in onescene and we wanted them in thewhole play,” de Bruijn said.

Other quirky additions, includingthe death of the Mad Hatter (CaylenBraun) by tea overdose, abound in the

pair’s script, and the show opened lastWednesday evening to an enthusiasticaudience of about 100.

“It was just so cool to watch thosekids come together,” saidVedderteacher Joscelyn McAulay, who,along with fellow drama teacherPauline Capirchio, has rehearsedwith the kids three times a weeksince January.

What motivated them to take on astudent-written play?

“I wanted the kids to really lead,”McAulay said, “and I asked themwhat they wanted to do, so a num-ber of different ideas came about,and Brooke very quietly started toslip me a bit of her script, and I said,‘This is great. Let’s do it.’”

Working with a play written bystudents has been a powerful learn-ing experience, McAulay said, notjust for Cote and de Bruijn, but forthe whole group.

“Because the kids have writtenit, it becomes a working and livingthing,” McAulay said. “The kids hadtheir scripts and pens and pen-cils, and we switched things as weneeded to.”

That practice thinking on theirfeet came in handy on openingnight when the actors ran into theoccasional and inevitable hitch.

“Even though a few things hap-pened, we improvised and we madeit better,” de Bruijn said.


Tweedle Dum (played by Rhys Taylor), Tweedle Dee (Jett Higginbottom) and the March Hare (Julie Mazzei) watch in horror as the Mad Hatter (Caylen Braun) expiresof a tea overdose in Vedder middle school’s Reinventing Wonderland, a student-written version of Alice in Wonderland performed at the school last week.

Unsworth elementary students haveput their paintbrushes, scissors andglue sticks to work for a good cause

this year, raising $3,300 for clean water proj-ects in Ethiopia by selling their art.

The Chilliwack school calls it Art For Oth-ers.

Started by Unsworth Grade 1 teacherMonique Lousier three years ago, the bi-annual fundraiser has classes from kindergar-ten to Grade 6 creating masterpieces to sellat a special Art For Others café that featuresrefreshments provided by the teachers and(this year) the school’s spring concert.

More than 400 parents, grandparents,aunts, uncles and friends were on hand at theschool’s gymnasium Thursday evening, andsales (the artwork goes for $2 a piece) werebrisk.

“There’s something so simple and beautifulabout children’s art,” Lousier told the Times.“It doesn’t have to be professionally done tobe enjoyable, and it’s something that theycan do. It’s just a small way that they can helpsomebody else, and it just encourages themto be a global citizen.”

Leading up to the event, students at theschool got a presentation from Hope Interna-tional about the kinds of projects they wouldbe supporting with their art,

And now that the money has been raised,they will also get a follow-up presentationabout the good their art has done.

“I think it’s really important for our kids tohave that global awareness and to understandthat there are children like them and commu-nities that don’t have what we have and thatwe can make a difference,” Unsworth princi-

pal Ruth Neufeld said. “And the kids are get-ting that. They’re understanding that they’remaking a difference by doing their part.”

Art sale means clean water

Karver Jesse MorfordAug. 23, 1975 – Nov. 8, 2010

Two and a half years ago someone brutally andsenselessly murdered Karver while he was aloneat his home in Ryder Lake, forcing his life toend long before he was done living it. Whoeverkilled him should not be allowed the privilege ofthe freedom and anonymity they have enjoyedsince then, especially after treating a fellowhuman being with such cruelty. He never hada chance, and if we had our way, neither wouldthose responsible for taking him from us.

For no punishment could match what we’ve gone through since his death.Karver deserves justice and a peaceful rest.The rest of us need an end to our unanswered questions.We continue to ask that anyone knowing anything about Karver’s murder

to please contact the IHIT tip line at 1-877-551-IHITor Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Loving him always, missing him terriblyand still longing for a resolution ...

his Mom, Dad and brother: Judy McCormick, Jim and Jade Morford;extended family and friends.

1122 Birthday Greetings1122

Do you realize that 70 years ago …Call waiting referred to a line

outside a phone booth.A flat screen was something you put inyour window to keep the insects out.

An airbag was someone whotalked too much.

Spam was found only in the kitchen.A cell phone was what you used to make

your one call from jail…and a birthday was something you

actually looked forward to.

Happy 70th Birthday!!!Love from Ina, Kim, Alex and Chris

YOU’RE 70!!!
