Gail Cross loves to make Christmas goodies but gave up her holiday baking this past season in an attempt to
cut down on her electricity usage.“I like to bake and cook but I can’t
afford to,” the 74-year-old told the Times in her downtown Chilliwack apartment.
You see, Cross’s last BC Hydro bill was $255.10 for the two months ending Dec. 24.
The year before, that billing period was $136.10.
“And nothing has changed,” her
daughter Debbie Halladay said.Worrying Cross further is that her
estimated bill based on usage so far in this billing period is $300.
“I can’t afford $300 every month for hydro,” the diminutive if cheerful senior said.
If she had been doing something dif-ferent, or the weather was unusual or everyone in the apartment building’s bill also increased sharply, that might make sense, but Cross doesn’t under-stand why her bill nearly doubled yet others stayed the same.
Halladay lives in the same building and her bill for that period was $87.

Conspicuous in their absence, volleys of gunfire no lon-ger ring out near the Vedder
Bridge as regular weekday Rotary Trail users and University of the Fra-ser Valley (UFV) staff and students have noticed.
It was April 2014 when those behind the RCMP’s Pacific Regional Training Centre (PRTC) announced $19 million in federal dollars to build the new indoor firing range to replace the open-air range, long the bane of UFV students and faculty, Vedder Crossing residential neigh-bours and Rotary Trail users.
When first designed, the new range was to be used to train and re-certify RCMP officers as well as agents with the Canada Border Ser-vice Agency (CBSA), and was going to be a 4,000-square-metre building with two 16-lane, 50-metre ranges with advanced sound abatement technology.
The structure was built by Chilli-wack firm Preview Builders, and while no formal announcement was made, the RCMP quietly stopped using the outdoor range in recent weeks, according to UFV students and staff.
(Despite requests to the RCMP to comment on the new facility and exactly when they moved in, the agency declined to respond.)

Friends and family members of Audrey Murphy gathered Monday for break-fast at IHOP to celebrate the Chilliwack
woman’s 100th birthday.Quick with the wit, completely lucid and
chatty, Murphy hardly looks like someone born in 1916.
At the gathering Monday, friends and family went around the table introducing themselves and their connection to Murphy, who replied when they were all done: “And I’m Audrey, the birthday girl.”
Born in Michigan, Murphy said she moved to Alberta with her fami-ly at the age of two. She lived mostly in Innis-fail, Alta., but once married, and her children were grown, she travelled with her husband and lived all over Canada.
She even spent a brief period of time in Chilliwack in 1946. Now, back in Chilliwack
for the last eight years, the 100-year-old has lived independently until recently when her grandson moved in with her.
So did she think she’d make it to 100?“Never!” she said with a smile.Murphy joins the ever-growing throng
of centenarians in Canada. With a cen-sus coming this year these numbers will
be refreshed, but the 2011 censusfound 5,825 people aged 100 yearsand older, compared to 4,635in 2006 and 3,795 in 2001, accord-ing to Statistics Canada. Of those5,825 centenarians in 2011, 4,870were women and 955 men.
It’s hard to know exactly howmany 100-year-olds there are inChilliwack, but last July, the Times
reported on the 100th birthday of Hazel Rat-tlesnake Gosselin, likely one of the oldest First Nations persons in the Fraser Valley.
And in early March, Chilliwack resident Choon Law celebrated his entry into the century club.

The knock on the door comes, confu-sion ensues.
According to many who have had vis-its, when the private natural gas market-ers arrive, they want to see your gas bill. They mention FortisBC over and over, and some say they imply they are from FortisBC.
“I quickly saw that I wasn’t the only one to fall for this. Other people have experienced the same misleading sales information to signing up for this service.”
That was a comment in one of doz-ens of complaints against Access Gas Services to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) in recent years.
Access Gas marketers have been going door to door in Chilliwack in recent days signing up homeowners to fixed price agreements, supposedly pro-tecting ratepayers from fluctuating nat-ural gas prices. What some are finding, instead, is just much higher rates.
“Access Gas managed to rope me into a five-month contract without dis-cussing penalty fees or the actual price of their product,” another BBB com-plainant reported.
One Chilliwack resident, a profes-sional who asked not to be named, said two young men knocked on the door
and implied they were with FortisBC or with the energy regulator. They asked to see her bill, which got her alarm bells ringing. Luckily, she signed nothing, the two then left leaving an Access Gas Ser-vices flyer behind.
“Gas marketers are required to follow a code of conduct which is reviewed regularly and set by the BC Utilities Commission,” BC Public Interest Advocacy Centre (BCPIAC) executive director Tannis Braithwaite told the Times. “Mechanisms have been built into the code of conduct to attempt to guard against potential cus-tomers feeling pressured into buying gas from a marketer.”
A number of other Chilliwack resi-dents complained about similar inci-dents and misleading tactics on a local social media page.
“There is a bunch, canvassing areas right now to have customers switch from [FortisBC] to them and they start by asking to see your bill or your fur-nace etc.,” said one commenter. “They are very shady in how they explain themselves and you really have to press before they will say who they represent.”
If you do press, what they should tell you is that Access Gas Services is one of a handful of licensed natural gas mar-keters allowed to sell directly to low-vol-ume customers. This is the Customer Choice program, which emerged out
of the BC Liberal government’s 2002 energy policy. This became available to commercial customers on Nov. 1, 2004, and to residential customers in the Lower Mainland on Nov. 1, 2007. Effec-tive Jan. 1, 2015, the program is now on Vancouver Island and in Whistler.
What does not seem to be explained properly at the door, is that the compa-nies are not in competition with Fortis-BC nor are they directly affiliated with FortisBC, they are third party marketers. The gas is still delivered by FortisBC.
Spokesperson Michael Allison explains that FortisBC is the neutral party in all of this, not promoting or discouraging the supposed “choice” offered by private marketers. Allison gives the analogy of variable rate or fixed rate mortgages to explain how it works. What the marketers offer is fixed prices over certain periods of time. With FortisBC, the rate you pays goes up and down with the market.
The problem for customers, not explained by the door-to-door market-ers, is that the lowest rates charged by
companies like Access far exceed actu-al natural gas prices.
As of Jan. 1, 2015, the FortisBC rate was $2.48 per gigajoule (Gj). A year lat-er, as of Jan. 1, 2016, the rate is $1.719/Gj. The least expensive rate offered by Access is a one-year deal at 3.89/Gj, more than two times higher than FortisBC. And it goes up from there to 5.89/Gj if you lock into a three- or five-year “GREEN” residential price plan.
Access Gas vice-president Tom Dix-on told the Times via email that these prices can be lowered mid-contract if the five-year natural gas price declines, but he says the point of “any forward commodity contract” is “rate premium for price certainty.”
In re s p o n s e t o s o m e o f t h e complaints from recipients of door-knocking, Dixon said they do not ask to look at bills unless a con-sumer has expressed interest in the Customer Choice program. He add-ed that if a customer doesn’t know he or she are under contract with anoth-er supplier, they can look at their bill
or call FortisBC directly.As for the misrepresentation at the
door, Dixon denies it and says linking his company to FortisBC is essential because of the business model.
“The relationship between Fortis-BC and natural gas marketers makes it virtually impossible to discuss the Customer Choice program without mentioning FortisBC during a sales presentation,” he said, adding that there are measures in place such as third-party verification calls and the ability for customers to back out within 10 days.
“Gas marketers are required to be transparent and up front about what they are selling and who they are rep-resenting,” Allison with FortisBC said. “And if someone does have questions or does believe they have been misled, they need to take a look at the con-tract, read through it, ask questions, get clear on who exactly is at their door and then they should visit www.fortis-bc.com/choice and take a look at the information on there before they make a decision.”
Dixon insists his company is a good option for consumers.
“Given recent events in North Amer-ican energy markets, Access Gas is offering a valuable service by giving consumers the ability to entirely elimi-nate natural gas price volatility.”
Door-to-door gas marketers cause confusion“Gas marketers are required to be transparent and up front about what they are selling and who they
are representing.”- Michael Allison, Fortis BC

There was one other anomalous bill in the Edward Street building, that of Ron Papineau whose was $300.
But building manager Marilyn Stachera just doesn’t get it.
“There’s no rhyme or reason,” she said.
With help from Halladay and Stachera, Cross tried to get to the bottom of the bill. The landlord researched how to, and then con-ducted, a breaker test. They hired an electrician who spent more than an hour in the small one-bedroom apartment and found nothing out of the ordinary.
Then someone from BC Hydro came out and simply told them that nothing was wrong.
“She said ‘she consumes it, she pays it,’” Halladay said.
Cross is far from alone among those getting hydro bills that seem confusing at best when there is little change in rates and no change in behaviour.
“My most recent bill went from like 50/60 bucks every two months to 109!” one person wrote on a local Facebook page. “There’s actually less people living in my apartment now. . . . It’s confusing.”
“My recent bill went from $150 to $300,” said someone else. “Nothing has changed in my house.”
“So what’s going on?” said anoth-er. “I received $600, highest bill I’ve ever had and I mainly work in Alber-ta months at a time.”
“My bill was $940 for last two months,” said yet another. “Calling hydro tomorrow to give an earful.”
As for Cross, she’s been told her next step is to bring someone in for $92 to change the smart meter.
“My mom doesn’t have $92 to find out they are wrong,” Halladay said.
As for that $255 bill, Cross paid it using some emergency money the pensioner put aside, because she was scared BC Hydro would shut the lights off.
“I’ve watched her count pennies
to eat,” Halladay said.For its part, BC Hydro said the
customer care team tried to help Cross identify her electricity use patterns.
“I can tell you that we understand that a higher than expected winter bill can be surprising but we have investigated this situation thorough-ly and know that there are no issues with measurement and billing,” said Mora Scott with media relations and issues man-agement for BC Hydro via email.
Scott said bills can increase by 66 per cent in colder, wetter months and electric heaters can draw up to 1,500 watts each. She suggested other reasons higher bills are changes in lifestyles during shorter darker days: turning lights on more, changes in family situations.
But none of these factors are rele-vant to Cross, she has had no change in lifestyle nor does she use space heaters. Nor do they explain jumps in bills over similar billing periods.
Symptom of a bigger issueCross’s two-month bill to end
2015 is now paid, yet she has fears about this next bill given the esti-mate of $300 coming up at the end of February.
But a shocking BC Hydro bill for a vulnerable senior living on her own with little income points to the broader problem with these bills and low-income individuals, according to the BC Public Interest Advocacy Centre (BCPIAC).
“They have become quite a big problem,” according to Sarah Khan, a BCPIAC lawyer who represents a coalition of seniors, tenants, anti-poverty and disability organi-
zations before the BC Utilities Com-mission (BCUC) in proceedings involving BC Hydro.
“We’ve been doing this work for a long time and we’ve noticed a pretty big increase in the number of requests that we get for low-income rate assistance.”
Khan and her colleagues advo-cated on behalf of low income indi-viduals at hearings in the fall into BC Hydro’s so-called “rate design
application” to the BCUC.
The BCPIAC has asked the BCUC to imple-ment rate relief, emergency bill assistance and specific terms and conditions for
low-income ratepayers. About 170,000 British Colum-
bians, or 10 per cent of BC Hydro customers, are living in poverty, and these people with stagnant incomes have a hard time paying for necessi-ties with fluctuating prices.
Currently BC Hydro offers little to help low-income customers. There are energy savings kits that include a few products, which, if fully installed, might save $30 a year. And home upgrades are available through the Energy Conservation Assistance Program, but this is not available to apartment dwellers.
Meanwhile, Premier Christy Clark announced this week that a plan was in the works to allow mining companies to defer their electricity bills during bad times.
“We haven’t heard the govern-ment saying anything of that nature to the 170,000 low-income cus-tomers,” Khan said, adding that she hoped the government would sup-port BCPIAC’s entreaty to the BCUC to design hydro rate structures to help low-income individuals.

Enrolment spike good/bad news

The Chilliwack school district is among many benefitting from increased enrolment but los-
ing out on money the government now won’t pay to upgrade Internet and online infrastructure.
With increased enrolment comes
increased government dollars. This year School District 33 saw enrol-ment up 381 full-time equivalents (FTEs) for Kindergarten to Grade 12, and down 83 FTEs for adult education.
The 298 net FTE increase mirrors increases across the region. The Abbotsford school district saw an enrolment increase of 232 FTEs and, across B.C., enrolment is up 6,700, the first increase since 1997/98.
The increases have been so dra-matic, that the province depleted its holdback fund set aside to cover such situations, forcing it to kick in millions more in operating grants.
It also means that the $19 million in holdback funding the province had intended to be used for the implementation of the Next Genera-tion Network has disappeared.
The Next Generation Network is the program mandated by the prov-ince aimed at giving schools quicker and more secure internet.
Now with the funding drained, school district 33 has to pay an estimated $325,000 this year and $580,000 next year to cover the costs of upgrading computers, according to secretary-treasurer Gerry Slykhuis.

A Chilliwack man with a long criminal history was sentenced to 21
months in jail this week after a dangerous driving incident that saw as many as 10 motor-ists driven off the road during a police chase so reckless that Mounties called it off.
But prolific offender Blake Dunstall will serve no more time in custody since he’s already spent 14 months prior to his sentencing in Chilliwack provincial court Monday.
The 21-month sentence is the result of one-and-a-half-time credit for time already served. Judge Don Gardner also handed Dunstall one year of probation and a three-year driving prohibition.
Dunstall pleaded guilty to a number of the 16 charges he faced after stolen ATVs, travel trailers, vehicles and a motor-cycle were found on a proper-ty near Cultus Lake in 2014.
He was arrested Nov. 3 that year, three days after RCMP identified a Ford Ranger pull-ing a trailer swerving into oncoming lanes while driving
southbound on Eagle Land-ing Parkway early on Oct. 31, 2014.
The vehicle then went the wrong way around the Evans Road roundabout, and a brief pursuit ended when the Mounties “wisely called off the pursuit,” as Gardner put it.
Dunstall was quickly iden-tified as the suspect, and a search warrant was con-ducted on a property in the Columbia Valley.
In addition to multiple charges of posses-sion of stolen prop-erty over and under $5,000, flight from a peace officer and dangerous driving, he was charged with identity theft.
Gardner called the fact that Dunstall was already prohibited from driving when the police chase took place a “very aggravating” factor.
At his sentencing hearing Monday, Dunstall’s lawyer said the 31-year-old was pro-ductive during his 14 months in custody taking many of the available programs in prison.
While the sentence Mon-
day wrapped up Dunstall’s case, the file is still open as his co-accused, Melody Patience Lingenfelter, faces a two-day trial Feb. 9 and 10 on 12 charges. The 34-year-old, who is not in custody but
was in attendance at Dunstall’s sen-tencing Monday, is charged with four counts of posses-sion of stolen prop-erty over $5,000, s e v e n c o u n t s o f possession of stolen
property under $5,000 and one count of identity theft.
Dunstall is extremely well known to the Chilliwack court system with multiple convictions over the last two years, as well as dozens of other convictions dating back to 2002 from Abbots-ford, Surrey, Penticton, Kam-loops, Kelowna and Fort Nelson.

Maple Ridge News
The company that want-ed to recycle and handle hazardous waste near the
Fraser River in Chilliwack is now looking to set up shop in Maple Ridge.
Aevitas has nine locations across the country, including one in Richmond, and on Mon-day a company spokesman explained what operations it proposes for an industrial site at 14160-256th St. in Maple Ridge.
At the proposed new location, Aevitas would process oil-filled and drained electrical equip-ment, and degassify and filter new and used transformer oil. It would also handle waste oils, paints, batteries, spent lamps, spent aerosols, cleaning solu-tions and fire extinguishers.
Aevitas was in the headlines in 2015 for a proposed site in Chilliwack that was opposed by the environmental group Water-shed Watch and by the Sto:lo Tribal Council. The site was in the Fraser River flood plain, and opponents worried the site could flood in a high water event. The company withdrew its proposal in Chilliwack last spring.
The Chilliwack site was also to handle PCB waste, a known car-
cinogen, and other hazardous materials – which are not pro-posed at the Maple Ridge site.
Aevitas spokesman Joel All-man said the site in Maple Ridge is strategically located to service customers in the Lower Main-land. It will not be handling PCBs.
“It’s fairly innocuous mate-rial that you find in your garage in your mechanic’s workplace, in industrial settings for main-tenance applications,” said All-man. “It has to be dealt with. We want to come in and deal with it properly.”
Allman said his company’s competitors incinerate products that Aevitas is recycling.
Maple Ridge councillors wanted assurance that the risk to the environment is accept-able, with Coun. Gordy Robson asking for a comprehensive risk assessment before considering the site.
Coun. Bob Masse asked about the future of the land where the company would be located.
“When you leave a site, are they deemed contaminated sites?” asked Masse.
Allman responded that the company will have a site-closure plan with a financial bond, so it must put up enough resources to remediate the site if neces-sary.
Masse also asked about site security, which would include a fenced perimeter with warning signs, surveillance cameras, and 24-hour security monitoring.
Mayor Nicole Read said coun-cillors will ultimately decide the level of risk they are comfortable tolerating in considering the proposal, but she asked Allman for his perspective.
“I’m curious, from you, what you see as our risk as a commu-nity with your facility located in our midst,” she asked.
He answered that the compa-ny must follow Ministry of Envi-ronment requirements, and the property meets or exceeds their sighting requirements. All trucks transporting materials will have secondary containment, so the likelihood of a situation happen-ing during transport is very low, he said.
The company is dealing with human and mechanical factors so there can be failures, but they have 20 years experience in the business, and have proper con-trol measures and staff training in place to mitigate risks.
Coun. Craig Speirs said he will want to see how the proposed facility and equipment will respond to a major earthquake.
“We’ll get one sooner or later, and we had one a couple weeks ago,” said Speirs.

As for what is to become of the existing gun range located right next to the university’s new Agri-culture Centre of Excellence, UFV has plans for something positive for students, faculty and the com-munity.
The Times recently learned of plans for a multi-purpose, recre-ation centre for the site as a joint project between the university and UFV’s Student Union Society (SUS).
“The university has hired a consulting firm that does work for a lot of municipalities in rela-tions to recreational programs and what they offer,” director of athletics and campus recreation Steve Tuckwood told the Times Tuesday.
“We’ve had face-to-face meet-
ings over the last 48 hours with stakeholders, students, staff, fac-ulty of UFV, then also met with some folks from the City of Chil-liwack.”
The process is in the very early stages, and the school and SUS will be looking for input from UFV staff and students in the coming months, both through stakeholder discussions and an online survey to be sent to stu-dents, staff and faculty on Feb. 1.
The City of Chilliwack will also be consulted about future recre-ation needs for the Canada Edu-cation Park (CEP) area and the nearby community.
What is planned is uncertain,
but Tuckwood said there is no university budget at this point to construct anything on the site, rather a plan to reconfigure what is already there.
But he and UFV are committed to ensuring whatever they do, it is consistent with municipal plans and whatever is happening at CEP.
“We don’t want to do some-thing in isolation,” Tuckwood said. “We really want an open dialogue with what they see with the trail and other things over the next while, making sure if we are moving forward that it is actually complementary and help what people want to do down there.”

I was eight years old in July, 1980 when Terry Fox ran in his characteristic gait along Lakeshore Road in my home-
town of Oakville, Ontario.I was too young to understand the
significance of what he was doing, what it might incite, what historical relevance was there with Terry and his goal.
My then-15-year-old sister tells me she showed up to watch Terry run and met his then 17-year-old brother, Darrell.
And the circle is complete, as I moved to Chilliwack 10 years ago, established a life here with a family and have met Dar-rell several times, and he lives just a few blocks away from me.
There can be a cult of personality with some historical figures, cultural icons, people we remember. But with the Fox family it was simple and Terry’s personal mission only seems common, looking backwards, because so many have copied it, patterned after it. Every fund-raising for a good cause is worthy, it’s just that every effort, every cross-country paddle, skate, slide, wheel, run, walk, glide can only ever be a pale comparison to Terry and his effort with 1970s tech-nology, double-stepping on one leg as he ran 26 kilometres every day as sores
formed, his knee became inflamed, he had shin splints, ubiquitous ankle pain, even cysts on his stump.
It was a month and a half after he ran through Oakville that, short of breath, he went to hospital and ran no more. On Sept 1, 1980, Terry Fox announced that cancer had returned and spread to his lungs. He died on June 28, 1981 at age 22.
This week, on Jan. 26, the family announced that Terry’s father Rolland was diagnosed with lung cancer. Rolly, who is well-known in Chilliwack since the Terry Fox Foundation is located here, turns 81 in March.
The city mourned in 2011 as the char-ismatic face of the foundation, Betty Fox, passed away, and Rolly reluctantly took over the reins.
“This is my debut,” Rolly told Chilli-wack city council on Sept. 6, 2011. “My first time speaking. I’ve got big shoes to fill. Betty used to say, whenever she was
doing anything, that if she was doing anything wrong, Terry’s leg would trip her up. If I do anything wrong I’ve got two people looking down on me.”
Sadly and seemingly unfairly, cancer has struck the Fox family once again. The foundation issued a statement:
“It is with heavy hearts that we wish to share with Terry Foxers from coast to coast and around the world that our Dad and Grandfather, Rolland (Rolly) Fox, has recently been diagnosed with lung cancer. He remains in very good spirits, confirmed by the dated and over-used humour we are forced to endure. Though initially troubled by the news, Rolly is committed to approaching the challenge now before him by adhering to the traits—optimism and a never give up attitude—that he likely passed on to his son Terry.
“Rolly, who will be 81 in March, start-ed smoking at age 19, consistent with the times. He quit smoking on a dare from a brother on May 24, 1986 and exactly a year later ran a 10 miler. It will be 30 years this May that Dad took his last puff. Rolly has been a behind-the-scenes believer of Terry’s mission for 36 years. More recently, with the passing of Betty,
his wife of 54 years and Terry’s Mom, he has been more active visiting Terry Fox Runs across Canada and personally signing over 14,000 thank-you letters every year.
“Lung cancer claims the lives of more Canadians than any other form of cancer, though because of the smoking stigma it is often neglected as a fund-ing priority for research. The Terry Fox Research Institute, with funding from the Terry Fox Foundation, recently com-pleted a pan-Canadian study to detect lung cancer early. We thank you for your continued support for our family during this period and for keeping alive Terry’s dream of ending cancer through research.
“Our family will endeavour to keep supporters updated but will not be mak-ing any further public comments at this time. – The Terry Fox Family.”
Terry’s legacy isn’t the foundation or the more than $650 million raised in the last decades, but it’s research success that money has made possible.
Terry Fox’s legacy is impossible to overstate, and his connection to Chilli-wack is worth noting. Hopefully we don’tlose another Fox any time soon.
More unfair cancer for the Fox family
OUR VIEW
Though it was an election promise, Justin Trudeau’s Liberals aren’t going to be able to legalize marijuana overnight.
In fact, the legalization of pot might take longer than the four years they are guaranteed before the next federal election in Oct. 2019.
Undoubtedly, the federal government would like to get started on this promise, since it’s worth millions of tax dol-lars every year. But when you consider what they already have on their plate, what with ISIS, Syrian refugees, assist-ed dying and, oh yes, the economy, it’s understandable that legalizing pot might not be the top item on the Liber-als to-do list.
Still, the promise was made, and with pot already legalized in Washington and Colorado, there is a certain expectation that it is a promise they will follow through on. That leaves our police and justice system in a bit of a legal limbo.
All the existing prohibitions are still in force, but police have had a hard enough time enforcing those and getting punitive judgments without the concept of legalization hanging over their heads, in addition to the limited legal-ization of medicinal marijuana.
Maybe we need to set out a timeline of how this is going to happen and set some preliminary regulations for licensing and regulation of sales.

Editor:Re: Bylaw #4177.OK,what’s that smell?The City of Chilliwack is going
to amend text by removing stan-dards concerning farm-side edge planning.
Reading the white papers on how the government got to this point, it is interesting to see what is missing in their papers. Let’s auger down and review “Feed-back received on Sept, 2014” and produced a discussion paper, OK. Maybe we were all on vacation and missed the notice.
This group, called Strengthen-ing Farm Program Innovation and Adaptation Services Branch, must be working overtime, hidden deep is 2.4.3 Direct Farm Marking Sales, further 3.5.3 Farm - Side Edge Planning, is, Farm By Law Stan-dards that provide for setbacks up to 100 metres.
This also provides the city the ability to make farm bylaws. Now, I can only wait for the agri-tourism activites to contribute to our tax base.
Interesting, last time I looked there was only one registered doc-tor in Chilliwack that had the abili-ty to write an Rx for marijuana.
It may give a new meaning to the Ryder Lake Ramble.

Thankful for Faith-ful TimesEditor:
I wish to thank the Chilliwack Times for the ongoing column “Faith Today,” embracing the faith of many area Christians
and as such also challenging readers to think outside the box.
Rob Ayer’s contribution in the Jan. 21 printing of the Chilli-wack Times is but another such thoughtful column.

Do we have the right to disagree?Editor:
What makes Canada great? I love my country and respect those that have given their lives for our freedom. So what did they die for?
Well, in this country we have the right to kill our unborn babies, we have the right explore our sexuali-ty and gender and change them at our country’s expense. We have a government in Alberta that is forc-ing (forcing is literal) all schools to have gender neutral bathrooms and clubs for LGBT.
We have a federal government that wants to make marijuana legal, and now they are drafting laws to make physician assisted suicide legal, regardless of the age
of the patient. And the part that blows me
away is that we’re all fine with this? What happened to hope? What happened to love, joy, peace? What’s next? Interment camps for the few that disagree?
Wait, it sounds farfetched, but did you think any of the stuff I mentioned would ever be legal? Accepted? Promoted? It seems like a race to the bottom. What’s next folks? Does anyone care?
I think we agree that we started a country based on basic human rights. Do I have the right to dis-agree with where we’re going? Or am I labelled “whatever phobic” and told to sit down and shut up?
Is it loving to say nothing while your loved ones drive towards a cliff?

De Koning worthy recipient of praiseEditor:
I would like to commend May-or Sharon Gaetz for recognizing Stefanie de Koning, a member of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program, at the Jan. 19 city council meeting.
Mayor Gaetz presented Stefanie with a certificate for her long-time involvement with The War Amps and for helping to spread important messages in the com-munity. Stefanie has been a junior counsellor to younger amputees at CHAMP seminars. She also helped spread the Association’s PLAYSAFE message, as she has met children who have lost limbs
in accidents that could have been prevented. Stefanie also passes on the remembrance message to the younger generation through The War Amps Operation Legacy.
We are so pleased with Ste-fanie’s well-deserved recognition by the City of Chilliwack.

Foundation makes generous donationEditor:
The Chilliwack Bowls of Hope Society would like to thank the Chilliwack Foundation for its generous grant which has enabled us to purchase another walk-in freezer for our Feed the Children program.
We currently feed 645 children in 18 Chilliwack schools, and the additional freezer enables us to take twice as many donations of bread and vegetables than we have in the past. A previous grant from the Foundation in 2014 facilitated the purchase of our first freezer, and now we are able to double our storage capacity and be twice as efficient.
Our purpose statement is: Helping Chilliwack children in need reach their full potential by fuelling their mind and body one mouthful at a time. The ongo-ing generosity of the Chilliwack Foundation is helping to make that possible.

New meaning to Ryder Lake Ramble
When the Canadian gov-ernment announces the annual inflation
rate each year through the Con-sumer Price Index (CPI) using their standard “basket of goods and services,” consumers, tax-payers and social agencies all pay marked attention.
Although this “basket” is fluid and surveils various regions and a wide range of goods and services to produce the CPI, there are many nebulous factors which are neither recorded nor entered into the mix. As a result, hidden inflationary costs put Canadian consumers further behind than the CPI suggests.
From 2014 to 2015 (Dec. to Dec.) the Canadian CPI shows a 1.6 per cent increase, but con-sumers suffering the merciless
sting in their wallets suspect that figures presented in the index don’t entirely reflect reality.
When metrics were first intro-duced into Canada in the 1970s, consumers were naive and trust-ing and “conversion-confusion” was used to introduce price increases, but that changed with time and technology. Today’s consumers are far-less trusting, much more savvy and often use high-tech, hand-held devices for instant, price comparisons.
When a better understanding of metrics took hold, corpora-
tions and retailers were forced to invent new methods to entice consumers, increase prices and improve dividends to demand-ing shareholders.
Today’s new methods include fancier packaging with smaller product-amounts, product-al-terations, and aggressive, target-ed-advertising techniques which reap “vanity-pricing” on wom-en’s clothing, and pricey, “must-have” brand-name products aimed at school-aged children.
Good examples of “prod-uct-alterations” are found in everyday paper-products such as kitchen towels, tissues and toilet paper where products have few-er, thinner, narrower and smaller sheets year-over-year. Indexes simply consider the cost of a roll, or box, but do not consider
product-alterations, per se.In toiletries we find that bars
of soap have become smaller, lighter and less-dense, which makes them “disappear” much more rapidly. Such minor, year-over-year product-alterations deceive consumers and skew price-indexes. Multiplied several hundred times and paid for in after-tax dollars, these alter-ations take a significant bite out of household budgets.
Grains, fruits and vegetables today are scientifically grown faster, with less energy and manpower, and with food-values which are “suspect.” Therefore, although a 2016-tomato looks like a 1970-tomato, its food-val-ue is questionable. As a result,

Christmas has come and gone. The year 2016 has begun. What is going to be different
this year? As we keep doing the same
things we end up getting the same results. Are we any happi-er than we were last year? Did the spending and gift giving help us to be more content?
I would like to share a secret with you. Maybe it isn’t a secret but it certainly can change up how you think and then what you do.
Let’s look back for a moment. Christmas is a time to give gifts. I love seeing my grand boys opening presents and being excited about what might be inside. To see them expressing joy and thankfulness, is a tonic to my soul. I thoroughly enjoy getting my wife just the right gift that she wasn’t expecting. Having people in our home and sharing life, food and fun with them is also a great encourage-
ment. What does all this have in common and how is this some great secret?
Let’s consider what the thought is behind doing all these things. Generosity is the focus of all of these. Each of these could be done for all the wrong reasons—expecting a nice gift in return for giving one; building my prestige by having the “right” people in my home for dinner. Notice how people seem to be entitled today. Living with the expectation of getting from others rather than giving to others.
However, we can also be gen-erous for all the right reasons. Jesus said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” What does it mean to give for the right reasons? The opposite of entitle-ment is generosity. Taking what we have and giving it away. Not giving everything away but cer-tainly giving because we have so much.
The result of giving is to be blessed. This is developing thankfulness and becoming a thankful person. It is a joy-filled
life because you are making a difference for someone.
At Christmas, agencies that reach out into the community see an influx of money and help in physical ways. This is fantas-tic and they really do need and deserve our support. However, generosity should not just be for one season or month of the year. The spirit of generosity should permeate all of our lives all the time.
This year I would like to challenge us to build on a solid foundation of generosity. Give without strings being attached; without expectations; without thinking what you are going to get in return or that someone now “owes” you something; without seeing it as building your reputation. Just give with an open hand, freely. You will find that you are more thankful and filled with joy. Give it a try. See what happens.
Reg Toews is lead pastor at Greendale MB Church. He can be reached at [email protected].

chiefsextraUpcoming games: Jan. 28 - Chilliwack @ Prince George 7:00 p.m. Jan. 30 - Surrey @ Chilliwack 7:30 p.m.
BY GREG LAYCHAK
After a long break due to a rare game cancel-lation last week, the
Chilliwack Chiefs were back on the ice with a bumpy tour through the Interior division’s rocky roads for a trio of con-secutive games last week.
Leaving behind a three-game winning streak, the Chiefs lost to Trail on Thurs-day (6-4), to Penticton on Friday (8-1) and managed to hold on for a tie against West Kelowna (3-3) Saturday to fin-ish the weekend winless.
In Trail, the Smoke Eaters came out with early points on the board after first period goals from Harlan Orr (power play) and former Chief Evan MacEachern, followed by another from MacEachern in period two before Chilliwack’s first goal.
An ensuing back-and-forth including Chiefs goals from Darien Craighead, Jordan
Kawaguchi, Kohen Olischefski and newcomer Rylan Bechtel in the last two frames wasn’t enough to make up the early Trail lead.
Matteo Esposito took the loss with 19 saves, half that of his counterpart across the rink Bailey MacBurnie.
But the road trip would get worse before it got better.
Friday in Penticton, the league-leading Vees kept the Chiefs’ offence to a single Taylor Allan goal in the first period, while the home team scored their first five goals before the 20-minute mark.
The Vees would prevent any further Chilliwack goals while securing three more of their own to win decisively 8-1.
Penticton’s Tyson Jost pad-ded his third-place league points stats with two goals and three assists, and top BCHL goalie (by GAA) Anthony Bro-deur notched the win.
And on the last day of their interior excursion, the Chiefs fought for an exciting tie in
Kelowna.Vimal Sukumaran scored
on a Chiefs power play in the first period to open the scoring against the hosting Warriors.
After two West Kelowna goals in the second frame, Kawaguchi scored the Chiefs’ second power-play goal to tie the game at 2-2.
Though a third-period short-handed goal by Warrior Brett Mennear might have been the winner, Connor McCarthy answered with his power-play score to put the game into overtime.
Chiefs goalie Aidan Pelino fended off eight shots (to his opponents one) during those last 10 minutes of overtime, earning the tie for Chilliwack.
The Chilliwack Chiefs travel to Prince George tonight, before returning to Prospera Centre to host Surrey on Saturday (7 p.m.) and West Kelowna for a rematch on Sunday (5 p.m.).
Just 15 regular season games remain on the Chiefs docket and Chilliwack is positioned to take
home first place in the Mainland Divi-sion—but it won’t be easy.
As this week began, Chilliwack was the owner of 60 points, seven more then Langley and Wenatchee, who are deadlocked for the second seed in the division.
The Chiefs do hold games in hand on both the Rivermen and the Wild so they do control their own fate down the stretch. However, Chilliwack do have a pair of difficult road trips ahead, with the first taking place Thursday night in B.C.’s Northern Capital versus
Prince George. The Spruce Kings are mired near the
bottom of the BCHL standings, with just 11 wins in 46 games, however the Chiefs are coming off a three-game in three-days road trip, that garnered just a single point and the 10-hour trek to Prince George is never routine.
Jason Tatarnic’s squad also has a three-game in three-days Island Divi-
sion road swing during Valentine’s Day weekend with dates in Powell River, Cowichan Valley and Victoria. In total, the Chiefs have eight away and seven home games remaining on the schedule.
Chilliwack also has their sights set on second overall in the BCHL, that would garner them the second seed in the BCHL round robin, should they make it through the difficult Mainland Division playoffs.
The Nanaimo Clippers currently hold down the number two position in the league with 64 points but the Chiefs have a whopping five games in hand. Speaking of the Clippers,
congrats to their super sniper Sheldon Rempel who potted his 50th goal of the season last week, and now has 51 snipes in 48 games.
Chilliwack’s team play a pair of games at Prospera Centre this week-end as Surrey and West Kelowna visit our fine city. The Eagles fly into our town this Saturday for the final time this season. We ask that if you are attending the game to please arrive early, as there will be members of Matthew Hutchinson’s family on hand for a ceremonial puck drop, video tribute and moment of silence for Hutch.
Local band the Chill-Billies will be
performing on the 89.5 The Drive stage which is presented by Tractorgrease studio and Tractorgrease Café. This game is also a Subway 6 Saturday which means if the Chiefs can score six goals, every single fan in attendance will receive a voucher for compli-mentary cookies from Subway.
On Sunday, West Kelowna will be on the ice at 5 p.m. versus Chilliwack. The Chiefs and Warriors duelled to all 3-3 tie last Saturday at Royal Lepage Place. Sunday’s game features the ever popular Fraser Valley Party Rentals Bouncy Castle and is also the annual Chiefs Adopt a School recognition night.

› SportsChiefs make scouting listNHL Central Scouting posted its 2016 midterm rankings last week and a few Chiefs names appeared on the list. Chilliwack’s defender Dennis Cholowski is in the 48th slot, while right-winger Kohen Olischefski is listed at 131st on the 200+ player register. They are joined by fellow BCHL players Tyson Jost (15th) and Dante Fabbro (18th) of Penticton, Kyle Betts (157th) of Powell River and Colin Grannary (186th) of Merritt. No BCHL goalies made the rankings.
Sartori’s efforts not enoughThe MacEwan Griffins came away from a two-game weekend with a sweep over the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) women’s bas-ketball team, despite a season-high 27 points from Kayli Sartori Friday night in Edmonton. In that game Sartori scored eight points in the first quarter to help put her team in a 12-9 lead at the end of the frame. Fellow Chilliwack player Shay-na Cameron chipped in with 10 points. But after a sometimes close back-and-forth, UFV lost 76-61. On Saturday Cameron went 6-for-8 on three-point attempts to nail her team-high 18 points and Sartori posted 11 points, six rebounds and six assists. The Cascades now head into a bye week and return to action

I have always said that one of my favourite things about being a Chef is that I get to play with knives.
Although this may sound very adven-turous in a James Bond fashion, knife skills and proper/safe cutting prac-tices are a very serious subject in the kitchen. With some basic knowledge, you can start to overcome any cutting intimidation you may have.
In this column I will focus on the tools themselves—knives. This will be the first of three installments on cutting. My next column will focus on cutting boards, and the third column will focus on cutting techniques.
There are many choices when trying to decide on which knives will adorn the collection of cutting tools in your kitchen. The marketplace is saturated with everything from mail-order deals to high-end specialties.
First and foremost, I have to stress that one usually gets what they pay for. Before you reach for your credit card when you see the full collection of gin-
su knives for only $19.99 on TV, think about it realistically. How well are these knives manufactured? Once the twenty dollars is divided between the TV air-time costs, the production of the commercial, and any middle-men that may be in between (such as market-ers, etc.), how much is actually going toward the manufacturing of these knives? Remember, from this amount, a profit must be made as well.
If you are looking to start a good quality knife collection, you should purchase knives that are made from high-carbon stainless steel. The high-carbon content in stainless steel is what ensures the steel is strong. This is very important for keeping a sharp edge. Any knife can be made from
stainless steel, but unless it is has a high-carbon content as well, it will lose its sharpness very quickly in compar-ison.
Start with a standard “Chef’s” knife. Other than for bread cutting, this is the most versatile knife one can have in the kitchen, and can be used for almost any applica-tion. It offers a rounded top edge of the blade that facilitates a rocking motion to ease most cutting/slicing preparations.
The next knife one should pur-chase for their collection is a good quality serrated knife for bread cutting. The serrated edge will not only produce perfect slices of bread without squashing the bread; it also brings relief to producing extremely thin cuts of fruits and vegetables.
One should also purchase a paring knife because a chef’s knife might be overkill for those small jobs. These are the three main knives that should grace the starting foundation of your
knife collection. From this point on, you can proceed to adding other knives such as a carving knife, filet knife, cleaver, vegetable knife, etc.
Most good quality knives will offer a full tang, meaning that the steel blade will run through the full length of the handle as well. This will offer more bal-ance and control. Most importantly, ask questions and ask to handle the knives to ensure they offer a comfort-able companionship with your unique hand. If a retail store is not informative about their products, and will not allow you to handle them, then take your business to one that will.Dear Chef Dez:
I am already assuming that you will not recommend buying those full sets of knives for a really low price from TV, but they must be good if they offer a lifetime guarantee that they will never need sharpening. How can they do this? Is there a catch?
Doris B.Burnaby
Dear Doris:I am assuming that the knives you
are referring to are the same that I have seen. Although they are stainless steel, they offer a very low carbon content which makes them very soft steel in comparison, and thus less expensive to manufacture.
Since all of the edges on these knives are serrated, they will keep their sharp-ness for a longer period of time than a straight edged knife, because the cut-ting is achieved by tearing at the food rather than slicing through it.
They can offer a “lifetime guarantee” because they play on normal human behaviour. Chances are if they ever do need sharpening/replacing, one is not going to spend the money to ship them back to the manufacturer.

many consumers require pricey, over-the-counter vitamin-mineral sup-plements to maintain healthy diets. These extra food costs consistently go unmeasured.
Most produce we eat is picked green-in-the-field in California or Mexico and appear on Canadian grocery shelves several weeks later. Often, as much as 30 per cent of the end-product is unus-able forcing consumers to buy more of the same; these “double-purchas-es” are not tracked in the CPI.
Today, with the rapid rise in food prices, many hard-pressed families are forced to make purchases in ever-smaller amounts which again increases their basic food costs well beyond stated index-costs.
For cash-strapped Canadians hoping to mitigate costs on trans-portation, today’s highly complex vehicles make such backyard mechan-ics impossible. This forc-es frugal-minded, hard working vehicle owners to pay ever-increasing amounts for vehicle upkeep at expensive garages.
Perhaps the greatest, hidden inflationary cost today is the lag in cost-of-living allowance increas-
es (eg. OAS and CPP) which appear the follow-ing year to cover infla-tionary increases which consumers paid the year before. This annual lag negatively affects salaried workers, hourly wage earners and especially seniors and others on fixed incomes.
At a cost of even 0.2 per cent per annum, this lag constitutes a two per cent loss of consumer trac-tion over a decade. This annual slippage is never indexed and becomes an unrecoverable, perma-nent loss.
These are just a few of the hidden, inflationary costs Canadians continu-ously face, and although the CPI is highly respect-ed, reasonably accurate and a highly useful tool, actual inflation each year may be as much as 0.5 per cent to 1.0 per cent higher than the CPI indi-cates.

CHILLIWACK TIMES Thursday, January 28, 2016 A19
Many Chilliwack residents are this month making one of their most import-
ant New Year’s resolutions ever.They’re becoming Dementia
Friends, committing to learning a little bit about dementia so they can be supportive and inclusive toward people with the illness, which has become one of the country’s most pressing health issues. Statistics suggest three out of four area residents know some-one living with dementia.
“People affected by dementia continue to live in and be a part of our communities, and we can support them to stay connected in ways that are meaningful for them,” says Cyndi McLeod, Support and Education Coordinator for the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. for Chilliwack and Hope.
“Through individual actions we can raise awareness of dementia and reduce the stigma attached to it.”
The Dementia Friend campaign is the cornerstone of Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, which runs until the end of January.
Becoming a Dementia Friend is easy, says McLeod. The process starts by signing up at Dementi-aFriends.ca. The next step is to understand five simple things about dementia: It is not a natural part of aging. It is not just about losing your memory. Dementia can affect thinking, communicating and
doing everyday activities. It is possible to live well with dementia. There is more to a person than a diagnosis of dementia. The Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s Chilliwack and Hope branch is here to help Chilliwack residents with dementia and their care partners.
That knowledge can easily trans-late into action at home and work, McLeod adds.
The Society has supported peo-ple living with dementia for 35
years. One of its initiatives, First Link, connects people affected by dementia with information, Soci-ety support services and programs such as Minds in Motion, and dementia education sessions at any stage of the journey.
Chilliwack residents can find out about upcoming education ses-sions by contacting Cyndi McLeod at 604-702-4603 or [email protected], and visiting www.alzheimerbc.org.
› Community
A special kind of friendshipChilliwack residents show support by becoming Dementia Friends
DEMENTIA-FRIENDLY ACTIONS Here are some tips to help you when you are connecting with a person living with dementia: Patience is key for dementia-friendliness. Use respectful language. People living with dementia are not “sufferers” or
“patients.” Address the person with dementia, rather than those around them, when
talking about their experience living with the disease. Connect, don’t correct. Respond to feelings being shared. Use precise language when describing actions or tasks. Give directions slowly and clearly. Focus on a person’s strengths and share tasks with them, like washing
dishes or helping them to order at a coffee shop or restaurant. Become educated on dementia and on how to help, by visiting www.alz-
heimerbc.org.

showtime If you goSleeping Beauty: Feb. 11 at thr Chilliwack Cultural Centre. Tickets are $40 for adults, $37 for seniors and $35 for students. Visit www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca.
Chilliwack will have the opportunity to celebrate Valentine’s Day in the most luxuriously romantic
way possible this year, when the incredible Ballet Jörgen bring the world’s favourite story of passionate true love—Sleeping Beauty—to life at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on Feb. 11.
An iconic and beautiful piece of ballet, Sleeping Beauty has captured the hearts and imaginations of audiences for more than 100 years and now this definitive work will be presented for the community in a spectacular expression of the essence of Valentine’s Day.
Among the most definitive of classical ballets, Sleeping Beauty has been a mainstay in the reper-tories of major ballet companies around the world since the early
20th century. And, being brought to Chilliwack by the outstanding Ballet Jörgen—the company that offered patrons unforgettable pro-ductions of Swan Lake and Romeo and Juliet in The Centre’s previous seasons—this classic and well-loved piece is sure to be instilled with passion, grace, and innova-tion.
This production of Sleeping Beauty also reveals another of Ballet Jörgen’s signature elements —the company’s unique ability to beautifully capture the origins and essence of a classical ballet, while adding their own innovative and alluring charms. The original elements of Sleeping Beauty will flow with timeless elegance from
the stage; the unmistakable score of Tchaikovsky, the dream-like air of fantasy and wonder, and of course the everlasting romance at the heart of the tale. Yet Ballet Jörgen also brings their own per-sonality to the production, drawing on the captivating theme of nature to imbue Sleeping Beauty with enchanting symbolism and poi-gnancy.
With this production, the company’s artistic director and award-winning choreographer Bengt Jörgen focuses on the mag-ical element of the story, and the interpretation of the ballet as a nature allegory. The young princess Aurora—cursed to an endless sleep —represents nature. The wicked
fairy, who casts this curse upon her and who deadens life with pricks of frost represents winter, and the young Prince, who awakens Aurora with a kiss, represents spring; cut-ting away the brambles to allow the sun to awaken sleeping nature.
With the dazzling dance of fairies and creatures and intimate connec-tion of beauties and heroes unfold-ing in a vibrant, wonder-filled garden, this delightful metaphor truly comes to life from the stage. And with Ballet Jörgen drawing on the original choreography by Mar-ius Petipa, the result is an inspira-tional tale of nature and love.
Ballet Jörgen will also be partic-ipating in a special event that will excite local photographers—The
Centre’s People in Motion Photog-raphy Workshop. This rare oppor-tunity to work with professional dancers is the perfect way to devel-op photography skills and under the guidance of local photographer Vickie Legere, students will learn the essential tricks and techniques needed to capture perfect shots of moving figures. The workshop will begin at 1:30 p.m. on Feb. 11.
There could be no better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than with one of the most magical stories of true love of all time.
Tickets are $40 for adults, $37 for seniors, and $35 for students and are available at The Centre Box Office, visit www.chilliwackcul-turalcentre.ca or call 604-391-SHOW(7469) for more information.

Time is running out to catch what many are calling a one-
of-a-kind showing at the O’Connor Group Art Gal-lery at the Chilliwack Cul-tural Centre.
Maggie Manning, Paul McCarl and Mary-Lee Mer z re-imagine the natural world through sculpture, painting and printmaking in their exhibition called Form a n d P l a c e , “ N a t u r e Re-Imagined.”
For Manning, paint-ing provides a vehicle to explore the movement, composition, balance and light in the living landscape; with each new investigation anoth-er secret is revealed. Per-haps, through the act of painting, it is the artist who is “re-imagined” by receiving these gifts.
McCarl’s creative inspi-ration is directly related to his experience of the outdoors. Exploring the environment he finds
boulders that excite his imagination.
The inner heart of the stone is “re-imagined “ as Paul carves and sculpts the stone to reveal images of the West Coast Wildlife.
The observation of
movement and patterns in nature informs the watercolours and print ma k i n g o f Ma r y - L e e Merz. Using this infor-mation she explores pos-sibilities, which result in natural forms being
“re-imagined.”
F o r m a n d P l a c e , “Nature Re-Imagined” runs until Feb. 13. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturday, noon until 5 p.m.

CHILLIWACK TIMES Thursday, January 28, 2016 A25
The Chilliwack Community Arts Council presents its first gallery exhibition of 2016, Creative Tex-
tile Images, featuring textile artist Judy Hurley.
This tactile exhibit, running Jan. 29 to Feb. 25, highlights an exclusive col-lection of pieces in Hurley’s signature exploratory style.
Hailing from the United Kingdom, Hurley has established herself as a pil-lar of the Chilliwack arts community. She is a former member of the Chilli-wack Community Arts Council board of directors as well as past president and current secretary of the Chilliwack Visu-al Artists Association.
Hurley dedicated herself to advanc-ing the arts through her career as an educator and mentor to art and fashion students both locally and abroad before retiring in 2005 to pursue her personal passion for visual arts.
A lover of texture and colour, Hur-ley combines her passions using tech-niques such as burning, creasing, stitching, wrapping, clamping and embellishing to transform humble fab-
rics into seamless works of art. Much in the same way a traditional artist uses paint or a potter manipulates clay, Hurley uses these transformed textiles as the inspiration and materials with which to create imaginative pictures and panels.
In addition to the opportunity to view Hurley’s imaginative pieces, guests will have the first glimpse of the recently renovated Art Room space and new-ly-formed Gift Nook showcasing hand-made artisan gifts and indulgences.
An artist meet and greet and the grand opening of the Gift Nook will be held on Jan. 29 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Art Room (20 – 5725 Vedder Rd.). Guests will have a chance to speak with the artist, browse gifts for sale or even purchase a piece of artwork from the exhibition.
Creative Textile Images runs until Feb. 25. The Art Room is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more details about the exhibit and Gift Nook please call 604-769-2787 or visit chilli-wackartscouncil.com.

Visscher, Pieter LeonardPeter L. Visscher of Chilliwack, BC
passed away peacefully on Saturday, January 23, 2016 at Cascade Lodge at the age of 79. Born in Achthui-zen, Netherlands to Pete and Jorina Visscher, Peter immigrated to Canada at age 18 and lived the rest of his life in Chilliwack, BC.
Peter is survived by his wife Nellie; his children Jorina (Darrell), William (Mita), Chris (Diana), Vince (Julie), Ted (Kathy), Peter and Tricia (John); 20 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.
Peter loved having a large family and hard work. He spent his working life building a family business (Visscher Lumber) with his brothers Len, Joe and Ted. Peter’s retirement years were spent toiling away in his greenhouse. Peter also loved spending time with his grandkids, especially their trips to A&W.
His legendary stories of his life growing up will forever be with us. Peter will be greatly missed by his family.
Many thanks to Dr. Markey and the Cascade Lodge staff for their wonderful care.
Condolences will be offered on Thursday, January 28 from 7 to 9 pm at Woodlawn Mt. Cheam Funeral Home, 45865 Hocking Ave. Chilliwack.
