A number of local farmers and First Nations groups are on deck this week to present oral arguments at

the National Energy Board (NEB) hearings into Kinder Morgan’s $6.8 billion Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project.

Among local intervenors sched-uled to appear before the NEB board in Burnaby are some farmers with past grievances about how Kinder Morgan has treated their property, and others with future concerns about what will become of their land and their crops.

Chilliwack farmer Ian Cooke is a member of the Collaborative Group of Landowners Affected by Pipelines (CGLAP) who describes the “incon-venience, cost and arbitrariness of [Kinder Morgan]” that he and other landowners have faced over the years.

In CGLAP’s written argument, pre-pared by Chilliwack lawyer Delwen Stander, the group is described as unique in that unlike most interve-nors, CGLAP is not opposed to Trans

Mountain’s expansion project, but it does want its interests protected and members to be compensated for damages during construction and ongoing use.

In an affidavit filed as part of the process in advance of the hearing, Cooke describes an incident nearly a decade ago when the company

flooded 20 acres of his farm on Keith Wilson Road without notice to him or consultation with him.

“Mr. Cooke was simply told that Kinder Morgan was repairing a valve, and that the Department of Fisheries would not let them dis-charge the water in their pipeline back towards the Vedder River—so,

instead, they were discharging it onto Mr. Cooke’s property,” the affi-davit reads.

It was only after Cooke com-plained that the company used five pumps over five days to drain the water.

While burning is an “archaic” way of dealing with trash, green debris and agricul-

tural waste, according to Mayor Sha-ron Gaetz, there will be a lot more of it this spring.

That’s because Chilliwack city council extended the spring 2016 burning season from 60 days to 90 days to deal with the huge number of trees blown down during the Nov. 17 windstorm.

A staff report presented to council at the Jan. 19 meeting recommended extending the normal burning sea-son from March 1 to April 30, to run instead from Feb. 15 to May 15, and shortening the fall burning season from Oct. 1 to 31.

The move comes after a Dec. 18 request from Ryder Lake residents to extend the fall burning season, which had ended on Nov. 30.

While burning is a hot topic at city hall—the mayor said she gets numerous calls and the fire depart-ment recorded 287 complaints in 2015—the volume of branches and trees down after the windstorm, par-ticularly in Ryder Lake is significant.

Staff said the average property size in Ryder Lake is approximately 3.5 hectares, and a rough estimate is that each has in the order of 10 trees down.

They save lives. They take bad people off the street. They rush in when the rest of us rush out.

They risk their lives every day and for that reason a local church wants to celebrate Chilliwack’s first responders.

On Jan. 24, Chilliwack Alliance Church is hosting an appreciation service for first responders: firefighters, paramedics, police officers and search and rescue volunteers.

“They see people on their worst days, in their worst tragic situations,” said church vision director Wayne Massey. “Their days

are really, very high stress and dramatic. So we’d like to say, ‘We know you are out there and we appreciate all that you do.’”

Politicians from all three levels of govern-ment—MP Mark Strahl, MLAs John Martin and Laurie Throness, and Mayor Sharon Gaetz—are scheduled to attend the service, which is open to the public as a community event, Massey said.

In addition to the service inside the church, which will include O Canada sung

by a paramedic, words from the RCMP’s chaplain and stories from a firefighter, emergency vehicles will be in the parking lot for kids of all ages to explore.

Massey said part of the impetus behind the event came from the fact that Chilliwack Fire Department hall one, Chilliwack RCMP headquarters and Chilliwack’s BC Ambu-lance Service station are all within the par-ish area of the church.

So is city hall, the Chilliwack school dis-

trict and Robertson elementary.“We have been reaching out to those

service organizations every Christmas, we take gift baskets to them and thank them,” Massey said. “We thought as a staff and a team, wouldn’t it be nice if we could hon-our the emergency responders.”

So they expanded the service to include Chilliwack Search and Rescue, as well as the volunteer fire departments in the Chilli-wack River Valley and the Columbia Valley.

“We wanted to go a bit farther and reach out to the whole city.” ◗ All are welcome to attend the first respond-ers appreciation service, Jan. 24 at 10:30 a.m. at Chilliwack Alliance Church, 8700 Young Rd.

“Mr. Cooke is concerned about how Kinder Morgan will deal with water prob-lems, if it is permitted to construct another pipeline on its property.”

Cooke is the only Chilli-wack member of CGLAP, but members from else-where in the Fraser Valley says they’ve had issues with Kinder Morgan. Among them: Pearl Sin-gleton reports harassment from a Trans Mountain land agent in 2012 and low-flying helicopters scaring her animals; Christina Kehler swears to having Trans Mountain employees harass her and her husband with an inconsistent approach to farming practices on or near the company’s ease-ment; and Ron Omichins-ki reports concern in 2013 after finding evidence of what he thought might be contaminated soil only to find that actual contam-inated soil was removed and placed in a “hazmat” storage site in Chilliwack.

CGLAP is just one of many organizations pre-senting oral arguments about the pipeline expan-sion scheduled to speak

this week and next. Other local interests

include the Sto:lo Collec-tive on Jan. 21, the Cheam and Chawathil First Nations on Jan. 22, Yarrow resident Michael Hale and the Yarrow Ecovillage on Jan. 27, Pro Information Pro Environment United People (PIPE UP) Network on Jan. 28, and the Fraser Valley Regional District and the City of Abbotsford on Jan. 29.

The City of Chilliwack is not an intervenor in the NEB process.

Farmers at the Yarrow Ecovillage argue that any major development to their land, under which the Trans Mountain pipe-line runs, is a threat to the irrigation system, existing hothouses, their certified organic status and the way of life of ecovillage residents.

The ecovillage is home to about 100 people in more than 30 cohousing units, and the farmland was certified organic 12 years ago.

“The pipeline really threatens what we’re doing here, in the big pic-

ture, in the whole picture,” one farmer stated in the ecovillage’s written argu-ment. “It’s going to have a long term cost in terms of what we do. Then there’s the name . . . our name is messed with too, our rep-

utation. Instead of having it [our produce] be from this wonderful farmland, that we’ve stewarded, tended, and nourished, it’s untrustworthy then.”

Certainly not every landowner has complaints

about past practices of Kinder Morgan, nor do they express concern about the project.

Yarrow farmers Meghan and Jushka Clarke appeared in a Trans Moun-tain TV spot in 2014 saying

they have always been treated “very fairly” by the company whose pipeline runs through their farm.

“Everyone is kind and respectful when they come onto our farm,” Jush-ka says.

A Trans Mountain spokesperson said via email on Jan. 15 “We may be able to direct you to some Chilliwack landown-ers that may say support-ive things.”

But by Jan. 19 the com-pany hadn’t provided comments or contacts in this regard.

› News


Chilliwack Times

Forensic investiga-tors were on the scene Tuesday of

a downtown Chilliwack stabbing, but Mounties are offering few details on the incident except to say the victim received life-threat-ening injuries.

Chilliwack RCMP issued a plea for help from the public Monday to identify a suspect in the incident that occurred Sunday afternoon in an apartment in the 9300 block of Nowell Street near Yale Road.

At approximately 3 p.m. on Jan. 17, BC Ambulance attended to the apart-ment. Police were called and general duty officers arrived to find ambulance personnel conducting first aid on a 44-year-old man from Chilliwack.

T h e v i c t i m w a s

transported to hospi-tal by ambulance with life-threatening injuries.

Police quickly cordoned the scene Sunday as offi-cers from the Chilliwack Serious Crime Unit sup-ported by the General Investigation Support Team and the Lower Mainland Forensic Inves-tigation Section began the initial phases of their investigation into the inci-dent.

“The investigation is in its early phases and offi-cers are determining if the incident was targeted,” Cpl. Mike Rail said in a press release.

◗ Police ask anyone with any information regarding this incident to contact Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or, to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Nothing is happening quick-ly, but Syrian refugees should be coming to Chilli-

wack in the coming weeks.At least one family of four refu-

gees is one step closer—they are travel ready, waiting in Amman, Jordan for the final bureaucratic hurdles to be leapt, according to their local sponsors.

“Nothing moves swiftly in this process,” Marty van den Bosch said.

“Once the Case Processing Office in Winnipeg has finished bureau-cratic ping-pong with our group and the needed paperwork, and all things are approved from them, the family will be here in one to four months.”

Van den Bosch is part of a group bringing a family to Chilliwack through the so-called “Group of Five” provision of private sponsor-ship.

Another local group of five call-ing themselves Refugees and Chil-liwack (REaCH) for fundraising purposes doesn’t have a family lined up yet, but they have consid-erable money raised.

“We are still in the process of working with [the Mennonite Cen-tral Committee] on getting us a family,” said Eleasha Sabourin of REaCH. “A new sponsorship list came out early [last] week and from what we can tell it looks like

all of those families were scooped up for sponsorship almost imme-diately. We are hoping that we will have a family selected in the next couple of weeks.”

Another REaCH member Amber Price said they have put in their request for families that have three younger children, preferably, and eagerly await a match.

“The process is somewhat slow and frustrating, but we trust in the process and are excited to hear back,” she said.

Part of the issue is that while more than 10,000 government sponsored refugees have been brought into Canada, some of them are stuck in hotel rooms in places such as Van-couver while groups such as REaCH are sitting on fundraised money, eager to help.

“What we find frustrating right now is knowing that there are many refugees under government sponsorship in Vancouver and elsewhere lacking in financial sup-port currently, while we are ready to help but have trouble finding a suitable family to sponsor,” Sab-ourin said.

Regardless of the bureaucrat-ic delays, all involved are amazed at the community support for the cause. Beyond the multiple private sponsorships from groups such

as REaCH and van den Bosch’s, a number of churches have been fundraising to sponsor a family. Broadway Church, for one, ini-tiated “the Refuge Project” over Christmas to raise money in their congregation to sponsor a family.

Van den Bosch said at least three local families that he knows of have offered suites at no cost, one even offering all utilities as well. And donations of needed items are coming in and asked for all the time. One online clearinghouse for all things related to the cause local-ly is the group “Chilliwack Refugee Support” on Facebook.

Two fundraisers are planned in the coming days to help bring Syr-ian refugees to Chilliwack.◗ First up, REaCH hosts a night of culture at Decades downtown on Jan. 30 from 6 to 9 p.m. featuring free Syrian food, live music, and limited edition wood products to purchase. Fundraising goal for the evening is $5,000.◗ Then on Feb. 12 at 7:30 p.m. a comedy and music fundraiser is planned by Chilliwack Cares at Vineyard Community Centre, 45982 Wellington Ave., to raise money to help bring Syrian refu-gees to Chilliwack. Tickets are a minimum donation of $15 at the door.

Sky-high assessment changed “This was a catastrophic event,” Gaetz said Tuesday.

She did address, however, the volume of complaints her office receives about burning, which tells her, in part, that the permit cost is far too low.

“This is something that incon-veniences people in Chilliwack who want to breathe clean air,” she said. “And I am concerned about those 287 complaints and I wonder if people . . . burning right now without permits or on days when they are not allowed shouldn’t be fined immediately.”

Coun. Sam Waddington said that during a ridealong he did with the Chilliwack Fire Department last year, when they attended burning complaints it was mostly people with permits

not following the rules.Fire chief Ian Josephson said

violators are sometimes given warnings but are usually hand-ed immediate fines of $250, and those can be scaled up to as high as $10,000.

Waddington said the $250 fine might be too low, the cost of doing business for some large farms, some of which hire contractors to do the burning for them.

Speaking of the extension of the burning season, Coun. Chris Kloot pointed to the hot summer we had last year and the danger of leaving that much debris on the ground in the Ryder Lake area if people aren’t allowed to burn it in the spring.

One issue will be the require-

ment that burning permit hold-ers follow Environment Canada’s ventilation index so as to not burn on days other than those with “good” or “fair” indexes.

Between the end of the fall burning season on Nov. 18 and Nov. 30 there were just three days considered acceptable to burn.

The average number of days in February with “good” or “fair” ventilation indexes is 13, so there will be a chance permit holders can’t burn every day the last two weeks of that month anyway.

Staff report there were a total of 1,280 burning permits issued in 2015 and 287 burning com-plaints. Those numbers are up from 2014 when there were 1,095 permits and 206 complaints.

Few follow the burning rules{ BURNING, from page A1 }

A handful of commer-cial property owners in Popkum shocked by

assessed land value increas-es of as much as 900 per cent may see some reprieve.

The owners of Argyle’s Gar-den Market couldn’t believe it when they were told by BC Assessment their property went from a value of $417,000 last year to $1.398 million this year. The land was said to have increased in value from $241,000 to $1.23 million.

Some of the neighbouring commercial properties at the

intersection of Yale Road and Highway 9 shot up even more. The Petro-Canada property increased 947 per cent from $364,100 to $3.8 million.

But after the Times report-ed on the assessments that seemed out of step with else-where in Popkum, and after the Argyles visited the BC Assessment office in Abbots-ford on Tuesday they were pleasantly surprised by the response.

“I was impressed with the professional way they dealt with this,” Nigel Argyle said Tuesday, adding that the head assessor was shocked when he saw the numbers present-

ed on page one of the Jan. 14 edition of the Times.

The assessors and the Argyles then signed a “recom-mendation to decrease land value” document to change their 2016 assessment from $1.398 million to $751,000.

T h e o r i g i na l ju m p i n assessed values might have meant closing down the busi-ness, the Argyles said, because of the subsequent property tax increase it would have meant for their business that runs on slender margins.

“These people were very understanding and profes-sional,” Joan Argyle said of the BC Assessment office.

One day, barring great scientific advances, Keith Richards will die.

As of this newspaper going to press, however, the legendary 72-year-old hard-living guitarist for the Rolling Stones was still alive and, well, alive.

“Keith Richards Found Not Dead in San Francisco Hotel,” read an online story this week. I’m not sure if it was this tongue-in-cheek, faux news headline that spawned it, but a Keith-Richards-is-dead rumour spread quickly.

It might also be because of the other deaths of well-known rock and popular music performers in recent weeks.

The recent attention on deaths, argu-ably, started with the drug overdose of Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots fame on Dec. 3. Then, on Dec. 28, heavy metal legend Lemmy (Ian Fraser Kilmis-ter) of Motorhead died Dec. 28 at age 69.

Then 2016 arrived and, most notably by a cultural long shot, was David Bowie who died of liver cancer on Jan. 10.

Then more: On Jan. 17, Mic Gillette, founding member of Tower of Power dead at 64 and Dale Griffin, British drummer for Mott the Hoople dead at 67. Then Jan. 18, Dallas Taylor, drummer for Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, dead at

66 and founding member of The Eagles, Glenn Frey dead at 67.

People die every day. An average of about 150,000 people die on Earth every 24 hours. Since you started reading this column about 35 people died. Phew.

But back to famous people, 19 humans who warranted a Wikipedia entry died on the first day of 2016 alone.

Why is there so much attention on the death of musicians and celebrities? It’s hard to say, although some of it is obvi-ous: These are people we admire, whose work we follow so when they are gone, that’s sad. On the other hand, why do we mourn someone who we don’t really know and who doesn’t know we exist, other than abstractly, as a sales statistic or a face in a crowd at a concert?

We also have a relatively new fas-cination with death. Our separation from those who die and are dying is a transitional aspect of our culture, of the

human experience. Hospitals, hospices, palliative care, all new. For hundreds of years before the 20th century, death was ever-present. It happened in bedrooms on cots, in cabins on tables, in caves on the ground. We died surrounded by family, children, parents. We died, and the smells, the texture, the reality of it was there. Death was part of life. Now death is to be feared, and in our odd popular culture fascination to seek what we fear, death is back, and we are a little obsessed.

But the fascination with death and the curiosity with the hows and whys of it all, is a different animal from the ubiquitous fascination with celebrity death.

A musician famous enough to warrant an entry on Wikipedia dies just about every day.

Jan. 1 it was Brazilian composer Gil-berto Mendes who died at 93. On Jan. 2, French singer-songwriter Michel Delpech died at 69. On Jan. 3, Canadian jazz pianist Paul Bley died at 83. On Jan. 4, Australian band manager Robert Stig-wood died at 81.

I’ve never heard of any of these peo-ple, but you get the point.

All said, there is an arbitrariness to our

grief as we mourn the death of David Bowie and Glenn Frey and overlook, because we don’t see, the sometimes painful and always sad deaths of folks alone, or not, maybe loved but less publicly so, in hospitals and hospices all around us.

On the bright side (sorry if this is get-ting depressing) babies are born, pup-pies are frolicking, kittens are mewing, lives are being lived. Choose to smile, as Chilliwack’s famous cancer-surviving, woman Glenda Standeven would say.

And, hey, musicians who haven’t died continue to entertain and inspire us. And those who did die in recent days and weeks will be remembered through the strings they plucked, the skins they struck, the notes they shared and the poetry they put into song for all of us to hold on to.

The irony is that that is precisely why we mourn their deaths. They left us something powerful, yet we are sad they passed. Those who rocked, who rolled, who plucked and played, performed and sang, left a legacy behind and will never truly die.

And chin up folks, Keith Richards is still ticking. There’s hope for all of us.

Keith Richards: He’s not dead yet

OUR VIEW

It isn’t only men and women in uniform who can curb crime—anyone is capable of contributing.January is Crime Stoppers Month and a fine time to

recognize the valuable service that the program provides along with its partners in the community, media and the RCMP.

Technology has the potential to make things easier on tipsters. Those who witness crimes don’t have to call the tipline from a pay phone and hang up; it’s simpler than ever to submit information electronically—even via smartphone—and create useful dialogue with law enforcement.

Crime continues to be troubling in any community, but there are sometimes indicators that the statistics are mov-ing in the right direction. Across Canada, the crime rate has been on an overall decline for two decades.

There is an argument that society nowadays lacks good, old-fashioned values, and while that may be true, we do possess good, modern values. Forms of abuse and vio-lence that may have been socially accepted in past gener-ations are no longer tolerated.

So if we know that crime is intolerable and unaccept-able, then it shouldn’t be a stretch to want to be a part of the solution. And that’s where Crime Stoppers comes in.

Whatever the stats show, crime happens and will con-tinue to happen.

Out of the bedrooms of the nationEditor:

I am intrigued by the debate between the Law Society and Trinity Western University over homosex-ual relationships. I believe the question should be about the institution of marriage.

When my parents mar-ried there was a lot more glue to hold the relation-ship together. Where they were living there was no indoor plumbing or elec-tricity. It was a whole day’s job to haul and heat the water and scrub his clothes and hang them to dry before it rained—besides lighting the wood stove and cooking a hot meal after working all day.

My dad needed my mom to survive. My mom needed my dad for her economic livelihood. How-ever, times have changed.

The home has been automated as much as any industry. It takes two incomes to support a fam-ily. Reliable contraceptives give couples a greater free-dom of choice. Individuals have more independence in their relationships. Cou-ples don’t stay together like they used to.

Religious services and the sanctifying of relation-ships is no guarantee of marital success. Of those people who register their marriage half of them fall apart. The divorce rate amongst graduates of Trin-ity Western University is no different from the rest of society. But an overwhelm-ing majority of couples today merely live together without getting married.

Yet, the law has been able to cope with reg-istering births, naming children, child support, alimony payments inher-itance and divisions of property. It’s time “the State got out of the bed-rooms of the Nation.” It’s time to rejoice in loving relationships whether they are between a man and a woman, two men, or two women.

Resurrectingpatient ridesEditor:

In October 2015, the

Canadian Cancer Society abruptly terminated its free ride service for cancer patients to be transported by car to appointments and treatments.

In the Fraser Valley, I have been working on resuscitating this service in a new non-profit organiza-tion. At this point in time the organization is looking for directors who are qual-ified in the following areas: a qualified lawyer and accountant, someone with strong ties to Lower Main-land media, someone with extensive IT experience, someone with fundraising experience and corporate philanthropic connec-tions, someone with transportation and/or logistics management and a secretary to maintain records and take minutes at meetings.

I am a cancer survivor, diagnosed with stage 3 blood cancer and would like to see the void left by the Cancer Society filled and, if possible, surpassed. Eventually we will be look-ing for volunteer drivers and dispatchers and gen-eral volunteers as well. The organization will be based in Chilliwack so please bear in mind travel requirements if you live in a more distant location before applying.

If you are interested, please contact me at [email protected] with Fraser Valley Cancer Driv-er Program in the subject line. Please outline your background, which posi-tion you are interested in and what your motivation for volunteering for this organization is.

John ScanlonChilliwack

An Eden in our backyardEditor:

A recent article by Larry Pynn, Vancouver Sun,

regarding a proposed waste dump onto Crown Land near the Chehalis River, is the latest pro-posed environmental atrocity, when it comes to waste management.

Why is it, whenever Metro Vancouver creates waste, or environmentally hazardous materials, that they prefer it is dumped and stored outside of their own jurisdiction? If that isn’t already bad enough, they then tenaciously articulate their tactful explanations as why there should be no concern for nearby fisheries or negative environmental leaching impacts. I’m quite certain they don’t really

believe their own double-speak, or they wouldn’t haul it 100 km away, just to get rid of it.

Obviously, Statlu Resources, the proposer of this waste management dump site, has chosen this particular site because of its proximity to its own gravel pit, so as to maxi-mize its profits by return hauling aggregate.

The proposed site, only 100 metres from a Chehalis River tributary, puts profits away ahead of common sense. The Chehalis River, home and birth place to 500,000 Chi-nook, 3.4 million Chum, and 700,000 Coho Salmon, not to mention the recre-ational, sport fishing, and First Nations lifestyle val-ues, is an ecological Eden, unmatched anywhere else throughout the Fraser River system, and deserves to be respected. It is the very backyard of metro Vancouver itself.

› Faith Today

BY ROB AYER

Crossroads Community Church

There is a time for everything and a season for every activi-ty under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die . . . .

This is a poetic verse taken from the journal of one of the wisest men who ever lived, King Solomon. It inspired the 1965 Byrds’ hit tune, “Turn! Turn! Turn!” He didn’t write it to state the obvious (or for it to be coopted for a song lyric). Rather, it is a text in a book which contrasts living this life under heaven with God ver-sus living this life under heaven with-out God. The latter (he concludes) is a chasing after the wind.

But faith taught him (though his faith did falter) that what is out of our control is in God’s control; that we should be patient then and enjoy life as God gives it; that life without God has no purpose; that with Him—we can enjoy this life and all that is good in it—to the full.

This verse reminds us that God is in control of time. Mine and yours. When our time is up, our time is up. As my dad is fond of saying, “Life is a timed event.”

The Bible describes our short

lifespans using several different metaphors. It speaks of our lives as a shadow that passes, as swifter than a runner, as grass that withers and a flower that falls, and as a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

But I think this verse (and the pas-sage from which it comes) mostly

reminds us that God oversees every activity under heaven from his time-less point of view. He is surprised by nothing and is working out his goodwill in ways that will only reveal themselves in due time.

He allows certain things to hap-pen through certain seasons and at specific times. He can even work out

something good from something bad if we trust him. Nothing is random. This can give purpose to our pain and reason for our joy.

There is a time to be born and a time to die . . . .

Then what?I believe that God made us and

loves us but that our natural ten-

dency is to walk away from his great affection for us, to even forget that he adores us, and to go about chasing after one thing and then another to find meaning and purpose. Then we are lost. We are far afield from the source of life. It will take something or someone to close the gap between us and God because we’ve turned our backs on him.

I believe that that someone was Jesus Christ (God in the flesh). God so loves us that he became man so that we could know what he was like, so that he could heal our broken relationship with him, and so that we might follow him in this life right on into the next.

I believe that we will find meaning-ful and purposeful life (here and now and forever) in a restored relation-ship with the One who made us and loves us, and that we will find him (so says the Bible) when we seek him with all our hearts.

How else will we make sense of this life?

Matthew Hutchinson is sadly no longer with us. He was just

24 years old, attending SUNY Geneseo College, playing hockey, volunteering as a fire-fighter, living life with a very bright future before his life was tragically ended in New York last weekend.

I have crossed paths with hundreds, if not thousands, of junior and college hockey players and “Hutch” is one of the guys who, when his name is mentioned, nothing but positive thoughts come to mind.

My son, Darnell, played Pacific Titans spring hock-ey with Matthew when they were 14 years old and even back then you could see the foundation of a teenager who was going to be successful in life.

Matthew was acquired from the Coquitlam Express by the Chiefs during the 2011-12 season and played 42 regular season and six

playoff games. Doug Ast was our assistant coach at the time and reminisced about Hutchinson being very coachable.

“Hutch was easy to coach, always positive, a good attitude and great work ethic.” Ast said. “As a teammate he was well respected, always smiling and impacted everyone around him by his leadership and positivity.”

Proof of his outstanding character was evident when he dressed as Santa Claus for the Chiefs players’ gift exchange in 2011.

Hutchinson’s last shift for the Chiefs came as a member of Team Black at the 2012 Chiefs Alumni Game that defeated Team White that

July evening. For many of us, that was the last time, we ever saw Hutch in person. Quite fitting that his team won, cause Hutch, you will always be a winner in my books. July 1, 1991- January 17, 2016

For the first time in franchise history a home Chilliwack Chiefs game was postponed and has been rescheduled. The Jan. 16 contest versus the Victoria Grizzlies has been moved to Sunday, Feb. 28 at 4 p.m. Tickets purchased for the original game date will be honoured on the 28th. There is no need for fans to come down and exchange their tickets for the new ones. For those unable to attend the game on the 28th, tickets for the original game date can be exchanged for any one of the Chiefs remaining regular season home games.

If you want to exchange tickets for a different game you can do so at the Prospera Centre box office. Just please remember to bring your orig-inal ticket with you.

Chilliwack’s next home game will be on Saturday, Jan. 30 against Surrey, which will be the Eagles final trip down highway one to our lovely city this regular season. That will be the front end of a back-to-back for the Chiefs who will host the high flying West Kelowna Warriors on Sun-day, Jan. 31 at 5 p.m. All fans attending the Chiefs-Warriors game will receive a coupon for a complimentary Milk 2 Go sport product.

The Chiefs next trifecta of games will not be easy as they head up to the Interior start-ing this Thursday when they pop into Cominco Arena for a match up against the Trail Smoke Eaters. The Smokies are in a dog fight with Vernon and Merritt for the final play-off spot in the division.

Friday the Chiefs are in Penticton to face the Vees who sit number one overall in the BCHL and then Satur-day the road trip concludes with a tilt in West Kelowna versus the Warriors, who have been one of the hottest teams in the league.

Former Chief fondly remembered

Matthew Hutchinson

Smith inks deal with U of AStar G.W. Graham Grizzly receiver Emerson Smith signed a letter of intent with the Uni-versity of Alberta last week. Emerson prides himself on his route running when on offence, but also plays defen-sive back. Smith’s No. 1-ranked G.W. Graham AA varsity foot-ball team fell one game short of the 2015 Subway Bowl last season, losing 24-21 to Car-son Graham in their semifinal game at B.C. Place Stadium in November.

A fine ambassadorLara Mussell Savage, a two-time Aboriginal Ultimate world champion ultimate frisbee player, took her turn last week as an ambassador for viaSport’s Gender Equity #LevelTheField campaign, a province-wide movement that works to create a more inclusive sport culture in BC. She credits many women athletes for inspiring along her own way in sport. Raised on the Skwah First Nation territory in Chilliwack, Mussell Savage retired from ultimate in 2008 but remains active in mentor-ing young aboriginal athletes with the Aboriginal Sports,

Recreation and Physical Activ-ity Partners Council (Partners Council).

Sartori nets 24 pointsCanada West scoring leader Kayli Sartori scored a game-high 24 points and played a strong defensive match to lead her University of the Fraser Val-ley (UFV) Cascades to an 83-56 win over the UNBC Timber-wolves at the Envision Athletic Centre last Saturday. Chilli-wack’s Sartori went 12-for-13 at the free throw line, helping her team’s 82.1 per cent average from the line. “I told [Al Tuch-scherer] when we were walking out of the locker room [before the game] that there was no way we were losing,” Sartori said after the game, which was coach Tuchscherer’s 500th as head of the Cascades. “We were going to get it done, and we were going to get it done pretty.

And that’s what we did. It was an awesome night, it really was. All the girls were firing on all cylinders. We were hyped for the game—we wanted to play hard for him, we wanted to play hard for each other.” It was a marked improvement over the previous night’s 63-47 loss to the same team. Sartori registered a dou-ble-double in that game with 14 points and 10 boards, to go with seven steals and four blocks. Fifth-year guard Shayna Cameron, also from Chil-liwack, chipped in with 12 points of her own. The Cascades basketball teams head to Edmon-ton next weekend to face the MacEwan Grif-fins.

Former Chilliwack Chiefs player Mat-thew Hutchinson

was killed in Geneseo, N.Y. Sunday morning according to reports.

The 24-year-old was stabbed to death alleged-ly by Colin Kingston, also 24 years old. Twen-ty-one-year-old Kelsey Annese and Kingston himself were also found dead at the scene in a Geneseo residence.

Kingston and Annese had recently broken up after a three-year rela-tionship. No one involved had a previous police record.

“Hutch” was acquired from Coquitlam by the Chiefs in the 2011-12 season, playing 42 regu-lar season games for the local club finishing with six games in the playoff season (See Barry Doug-las column on page 11).

The Chilliwack Arts & Cultural Centre will jump into the first show of the 2016 Fringe Series with a heavy dose of total

hilarity and maternal reality when the hysterical Anne-Marie Scheffler brings her one-woman exposé of the reality of parenting— Suddenly Mommy!— on Jan. 30 and 31

A show that reveals Scheffler’s per-spective of juggling showbiz glamour with prepping dinner, Suddenly Mommy! is the ultimate comedy show for anybody who has faced the wonders, joys, and sleepless nights that define motherhood.

A professional comedian and writ-er, Scheffler was the career-minded comic that toured from Toronto to Los Angeles and everywhere in between—that was until she had kids. A few years of riding the rollicking rollercoaster of motherhood later, and Scheffler feared she’d never see the light of day again—but one day had momentous realization that changed her life forever.

“Suddenly Mommy! came from a very specific moment,” Scheffler says. “I was pushing along my two-year-old in the stroller, and my four-year-old was running along next to me, and I just started laughing about how suddenly you become a mommy, and how much material there was there for a great comedy show. I was a professional comedian before having kids. I had my own special on CTV and I just thought ‘if I could do it before having kids, why not after?’”

Combining Scheffler’s unique par-enting experience—juggling a baby in one hand and a movie script in the other—with her incredible comedy chops, Suddenly Mommy! express-es a riotous perspective of modern motherhood; proving it’s not all doing dishes and folding laundry.

“I think there’s a real traditional sense of what a mother is like,” says Scheffler. “You know, she’s wearing an apron, she’s really good at baking cookies, she has such a talent in the kitchen; she’s a mom. And that’s so funny because I don’t think a lot of us are that at all. In my show I spoof my older sister who I’m very close with, and she’s like the Martha Stewart of moms—churning her own butter, making homemade playdough —the works. And that is awesome, but that’s not everybody . . . and it’s cer-tainly not me! When I came to moth-erhood, I was like gee, that’s weird—I didn’t wake up knowing how to cook a turkey!”

Suddenly Mommy! offers plenty of hilarious one-liners, observations, characters and more; but also a message of empowering maternal solidarity.

“My favourite thing about Suddenly Mommy! is that the subject matter is completely universal,” Scheffler says.

◗ Tickets are $25 and are available at The Centre Box Office, visit www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca or call 604-391-SHOW(7469) for more infor-mation.

Cajun and zydeco supergroup The Revelers are set to perform at Harri-son Memorial Hall Jan. 23 at 8 p.m.

This show will be the first one to feature a new sound system recently purchased by the festival society.

The Revelers include founding mem-bers of the Red Stick Ramblers and The Pine Leaf Boys, who have been called “unquestionably the two groups at the vanguard of the Louisiana cultural renaissance”. While they draw heavily on more traditional Cajun and zydeco styles, the music of The Revelers combines those two classic Louisiana genres with swamp-sop, country, and blues to create a pow-

erful tonic of roots music that could only come from southwest Louisiana.

Hillhouse is excited to have this dynam-ic band showcase the festival’s new sound system.

“We are going digital with our sound board, and have acquired some new, up to date speakers” he says. “Audiences will notice improved fidelity in the hall, the whole system will be lighter in weight for employees and volunteers to manage, and sound technicians and musicians will be happy with the improved capabilities.”

◗ Tickets are $22.50 and can be purchased online at www.harrisonfestival.com.

Hello Son,

I have so many memories flowing through my mind, I flash back to the day you were born, your first words, your first steps, your curious mind, first day of school, first motocross race, first truck, to your graduation. I am grateful for the time that I had with you here, my beautiful boy. I’ll love you forever, I’ll miss you for always, forever and ever my baby you’ll be. I love you a whole big pile of mud and stars! Mom xoxoxo
