MOLSON NOT READY TO POP THE TOP YET ON ANNOUNCING BEER PLANT

School overcrowding on the south side of Chilliwack is so bad the problem needs a tourniquet, yet the school board is left begging the provincial

government for a band-aid.At Promontory Heights Elementary the

expected enrolment for September of 2016 is 591 students putting it 274 students over the building’s capacity of 317.

The school’s operating capacity as of Sept. 30, 2016 is 186 per cent, the highest in the district, but it’s just one of eight of the 11 ele-mentary schools on the south side running over capacity.

There are currently approximately 80 children on a fluid waiting list to get into the school, and already dozens of kids are bused off the hill either to Vedder Elementary, which is at 131 per cent capacity, or to Wat-son Elementary, which is at 103 per cent.

“We desperately need a new school on the south side,” Chilliwack School District board chair Silvia Dyck told the Times this week.

“We are absolutely due for one.”Minister of Education Mike Bernier was

in Chilliwack last week as part of an ongoing tour of all school districts. After visiting Agas-siz in the morning, Bernier went to Prom-ontory Elementary with Dyck at which time the school board chair said the minister got a sense of the density and expanse of Promon-tory served by one small school.

But that doesn’t mean the province will pay for one.

Nothing new on the hillDiane Pernitsky has lived on Promon-

tory for 23 years—she says hers was the first home, other than farm houses, west of Promontory Road. With children at the time in school and foster children in the system to this day, she’s had her finger on the pulse of

No one will give absolute con-firmation, but it appears Chil-liwack will be home to the

relocated Molson Coors plant.Sources have told

the Times the deal is almost done, and Monday a spokes-person confirmed the city is “one of the pre-ferred proposed sites.”

The properties where the brewery is to be located include two large pieces of land zoned Agricultural Food Processing (AFP) on Kerr and Elder avenues near Highway 1 and Yale Road. But it also includes a number of other residential properties on Elder Avenue, all but one of which have abandoned homes on them currently.

As of the most recent update on City of Chilliwack public records, all the properties in question but one are

owned by numbered companies or K&A Investments, all of which have a listed business address the same as Chilliwack Cattle Sales owned by the Kooyman family.

Survey work was recently done on all the properties and City of Chilliwack rezoning signs were erected on the res-idential properties.

A call to the owner of the final proper-ty not owned by the Kooymans was not

returned by end of day Monday.Alex McMillan of

N a t i o n a l P u b l i c Relations in Van-couver had very little information about

the deal , having only recently been retained by Molson Coors, but

he said the company was still in the due diligence stages.

He said he had no sense of a timeline on when an announcement would be made.

Sources close to the matter, however, tell the Times it’s all but a done deal and the 200-plus jobs that come with the brewery currently located in Vancouver are coming to Chilliwack.

As of November, the brewery had 214 plant employees and a sales staff of 44.

Ch i l l i w a c k c i t y c o u n -cil’s expenses for 2015 increased by 111 per cent over 2014, according to the

annual remuneration report provid-ed by staff at Tuesday’s meeting.

The six city councillors and May-or Sharon Gaetz billed taxpayers for a total of $38,289.57 in addition to $2,842.31 for mileage reimburse-ments.

That $41,131.88 compares to a total expenses and mileage for 2014 of $19,486.09.

Coun. Sam Waddington topped

the expense list at $10,091.91, followed by Coun. Jason Lum’s $7,967.41, Coun. Chris Kloot and his bill of $7,361.11 and Coun. Sue Attrill’s $5,144. 43.

Gaetz expensed $4,708.24, and Couns. Ken Popove and Chuck Stam each spent around $1,500, and nei-ther billed for any mileage.

The numbers were released as part of the annual requirement of municipalities for staff to prepare a remuneration report to be received at a public meeting.

At Tuesday’s meeting, Wad-dington addressed the fact that he topped the expense list.

“I took in a lot of educational

opportunities,” he said. “The skill-set is foreign until you acquire this office. It is a very different line of work than anything else. I welcome the opportunity to continue to learn and try to be a more useful public servant.”

In the City of Abbotsford, Mayor Henry Braun and that city’s eight councillors billed taxpayers for $34,345 in 2015, a rise of 22 per cent over 2014.

As for salary, in 2015 Gaetz was

paid $93,284.78, and all councillors received $34,793.05 plus $1,554.76 categorized as “other.”

In the last decade, the pay for the mayor’s office has increased 34 per cent from $69,468 in 2006 to $93,284.78.

Pay for the part-time job of sitting as a city councillor went up 50 per cent from $23,156 in 2006 to $34,793 last year.

Over that period, in addition to annual cost of living increases, the

remuneration has been specifically increased in 2008, 2011 and 2014.

In Abbotsford, the mayor made $95,200 in 2015 and city councillors $37,500.

Eight years ago when asked about the increase in the mayor’s pay by 10 per cent, then mayor Clint Hames said he heard some people say no politician should get a dime, but others who point out as the chief executive of a $100 million corpora-tion, the mayor is paid less than half of some staff members.

To compare to the highest paid senior staff, in 2013 (the latest year for which the Times has numbers) chief administrative officer (CAO) Peter Monteith was paid $235,146, deputy CAO Chris Crosman made $187,793 and director of corporate services Robert Carnegie took in $177,974.

In that year more than 50 city staffers made more money than the mayor.

Local real estate investment expert Melanie Reuter had the ear of Prime Minister Jus-

tin Trudeau last week, at least in part, as the sole voice of the Fras-er Valley at a meeting on housing affordability.

Reuter was one of approximately 25 industry professionals, academ-ics and members of the non-profit housing sector invited to sit down with Trudeau in Vancouver to talk about the issues amid the unprece-dented real estate market.

“I was there from an investor’s point of view,” Reuter told the Times. “I took the role of represent-ing the Fraser Valley. My input was the affordability issue isn’t restrict-ed just to Vancouver; we are feeling that pinch as people move east.”

Reuter praised the Prime Minis-ter’s announcement to inject mon-ey into transit, but she encouraged him to bring that out to the valley.

Her focus in this opportuni-ty with Trudeau was, in addition to transit in the valley, secondary suite legislation and discouraging the idea of rent control.

She said among the mostly Van-couver folks in the meeting single family homes were a concept con-sidered almost dirty, whereas she recognizes they are here to stay in

the Fraser Valley.B u t t h a t d o e s n ’ t m e a n

much-needed density can’t be accommodated as long as various levels of government accept sec-ondary suites.

“ W h a t t h a t means for me is a win-win,” she said. “It allows people to afford a home because they can legally have a mortgage helper.”

S e c o n d a r y suites also allow families to house the aging popu-lation or “broke adult children” who still need to live at home.

“Most impor-tantly, it puts more supply into the market,” she said. “What I encouraged the PM not to do was to interfere with rent controls or anything that would disrupt the supply and demand.”

Much was reported on Trudeau’s hesitancy to tax foreign investors. Broad federal levers like that may help housing pressure in markets such as Vancouver and Toronto, but could have detrimental effects on other markets such as Montreal or Calgary.

As for the future of Chilliwack, Reuter points to Garrison Crossing as an example of what has worked and what can work elsewhere in the city.

“Our downtown core could use a little injection of that,” she said. “It’s a wonderful example of what could be.”

And with increasing in-migra-tion to the city from people from points west of here, which include both millennials and multicultur-al families from other places, even problems downtown can be over-

looked.“ T h i s m a y

s o u n d p e s s i -mistic but these people are used to crime,” Reu-ter said. “They embrace multi-culturalism, the socio-economic mix, the vibrancy of the downtown core.”

Another sub-j e c t g e n e r a l l y a g r e e d u p o n , Reuter said, is that municipal-ities are not to

blame for the housing situation because if they try to tackle it too strongly with extreme density, res-idents will rebel and they’ll get vot-ed out of office.

Chilliwack Times

The City of Chilli-wack announced M o n d a y a n

“unprecedented” hiring of 10 new RCMP officers for 2017, while unveiling a new online tool to track crimes neighbourhood by neighbourhood.

T h e h i r i n g o f n e w Mounties, each of whom comes with a price tag of $168,700 per year, will cost approximately $1.5 million as the city portion of 90 per cent of each offi-cer.

Whether paying for that will come in cuts in other areas, a raise in property taxes or a combination, will be determined for the 2017 budget, according to Mayor Sharon Gaetz.

Gaetz called the hiring “unprecedented,” saying in her long time on city council only two or three officers are usually hired in any one year.

The move comes as crime is substantially on the rise in Chilliwack.

RCMP Supt. Deanne Burleigh said year-to-date property crime is up 33 per cent so far in 2016 over 2015. Auto theft is up 38 per cent, theft from auto is up 57 per cent and weapons offences are up 114 per cent.

Of the 10 new officers, eight will be assigned to general duty; they will be front-line officers mem-bers of the community will see, Burleigh said.

The two other officers will be assigned to two crime reduction task forc-es: property and drugs.

At the announcement of the hiring for new offi-cers, the city also unveiled a new online mapping system created in house at city hall.

The “crime prevention toolkit” at www.chilli-wack.com/stopcr ime provides links to useful information from ICBC and RCMP about pre-venting crime, but it also allows users to see exact-ly where specific crimes have occurred down to the minute the crime was reported and the 100-block where it was located.

The tool also provides a link to CrimeStoppers under each file for those who have information about the incident.

For instance, near the Chilliwack Times office in the first 15 days of June, it can be seen that

in the 45900-block of Rowat on June 2 at 1:29 p.m. someone reported a bicycle theft. And on June 13 at 2:06 p.m. in the 45700-block of Alexander Avenue, someone report-ed a vehicle stolen.

“Today is a great day in the City of Chilliwack,” Coun. Jason Lum said. Lum is chair of the city’s Public Safety Advisory Committee.

“What we really want to do is focus on education,” Lum said.

Asked if he was con-cerned about vigilante justice giving the public more and more specific information about crimes, Lum said: “The best way the public can be vigilant is to adopt some of the best practices from this site.”

A 1.4-acre piece of land in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) served as a bit of a

flashpoint at Chilliwack city council Tuesday as it teeters on the brink of farmland and a Sardis residential neighbourhood.

After some feedback from the public and much discussion, coun-cil eventually voted five to two to approve the application to rezone the Evans Road property from agri-culture to one-family residential to allow for seven single family lots.

Couns. Christ Kloot and Sam Waddington voted against the rezon-ing, arguing the move was part of an incremental dismantling of the ALR.

The property, however, has never been farmed and is not only consid-ered of poor quality but is adjacent to residential areas and connected to services.

It is also right on the edge of, but within, the city’s so-called “urban

containment boundary.”The land is in the ALR but is con-

sidered exempt from ALR regula-tions because it is less than two acres and has been on a separate certifi-cate of title since Dec. 22, 1972.

Still, Kloot argued against the application.

“While this 1.4 acres hasn’t actively been farmed, it doesn’t mean it can’t be farmed,” he said speaking against the motion to approve the rezoning.

“They could produce 10,000 to 15,000 pounds of blueberries on an acre.”

But Couns. Chuck Stam, Sue Attrill, Jason Lum and Ken Popove spoke in support of the application, noting all of them their support not only for agriculture in general but for small-lot farming more broadly.

Stam said there is still lots of opportunity for small lot farming in areas not close to municipal

services such as Yarrow, Fairfield Island and Ryder Lake.

“It’s a nice interface to the Evans Road currently and it finishes off that neighbourhood,” Stam said.

Lum said the application met all the regulatory polices the city has in place, and he was happy there is not a one-size fits all approach to small lots such as the one in ques-tion.

Mayor Sharon Gaetz, too, spoke in favour of the application saying that too often issues such as this are reduced to a black and white, pro-farming versus pro-develop-ment debate. “In 1972 when [the ALC] said land should be exempt under two acres, they did it for a reason,” she said. “So councils like us can look at parcels like this.”

She added that the owner wasn’t someone who was a land specula-tor, but rather had owned the prop-erty since the 1970s.

The unprecedented real estate market in B.C. has had a number of spinoff

effects, including the creation of a rental crisis, but the latest may be the availability of indepen-dent living for seniors.

The vacancy rate for indepen-dent living spaces declined in B.C. for the fourth consecutive year, according to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corpo-ration’s (CMHC) 2016 Senior Housing Report.

The provincial rate decreased from 9.1 per cent in 2015 to 6.3 per cent in 2016, according to CMHC.

In the Chilliwack/Agassiz/Hope area it was even more pronounced as the vacancy rate fell from 10.6 per cent in 2015 to six per cent this year.

“The main driver for this is the growing seniors popula-tion and in some areas, a strong resale market that has made it easier for seniors to sell their

homes and move into facilities that better suit their needs,” according to CMHC analyst Richard Sam.

The area saw a reduction of bachelor suite availability from 6.5 per cent to 2.9 per cent and for one bedroom units from 11.9 per cent to 5.3 per cent.

Units below $1,900 a month

were already hard to come by in Chilliwack/Agassiz/Hope and the vacancy rate fell from 2.7 to 2.4 per cent. But more dramat-ic was a decrease in the avail-ability of units in the $1,900 to $2,399 range as the vacancy rate fell from 11.9 per cent to 3.8 per cent.

There are 15 residences in the Chilliwack/Agassiz/Hope with 969 residents. The estimated population of those over 75 in the area is 9,522.

Average rents, however, have changed negligibly with an average of $2,302 per month in 2015 to $2,314 in 2016.

The local costs are far below the Lower Mainland average, which hit $3,239 per month.

Split vote over rezoning of small lot

Hot housing market hurts seniors“The main driver for this is the growing seniors population and in some areas, a

Aboriginal people die, on average, five years

younger than the overall population. They suffer chronic diseases at a high-er rate, and young aborig-inals have a rate of suicide five to seven times the national average.

And with 50,000 aborig-inal people living in the Fraser Health region, Chil-liwack is on the front lines of what can be a dysfunc-tional care system.

To address the health of aboriginal people in the region, Fraser Health announced $1 million to be matched by the First Nations Health Authority to fund initiatives and ser-vices “to address the larg-est unmet needs identified through available popula-tion health data.”

“We want to build trust, reciprocity and inclusion,”

Fraser Health president and CEO Michael March-bank said in a video as part of a campaign focused on “cultural safety.”

T h e c a m p a i g n i s focused at Fraser Health staff to ensure they know their roles in improving care for aboriginals.

“ T r a n s f o r m a t i v e change requires part-ners to come together, to listen to each other and innovate to improve care and systems for First Nations communities on-the-ground,” said First Nations Health Council Chair Grand Chief Doug Kelly. “We are pleased to support the good work of Fraser Health and the First Nations Health Authority and to follow through on what we have heard from First Nations in the Fraser Salish.”

local education since the 1990s.“We need a new school on the

south side,” she said. “It’s pretty full up here in the kid department. We are bursting at the seams.”

With residential development on Promontory continuing—Mayor Sharon Gaetz said at the June 6 council meeting another 2,000 peo-ple could live up there at full build out—the need for a school is clear.

And some parents are exasper-ated.

Jaclyn Sterling said she lives in Promontory but her son is forced to go to Vedder elementary.

“It’s too much with all this devel-opment on the hill, we need another school,” she said.

“What happens when they put in another 100-plus townhouses and the the other 50-plus they are already building,” Gabriella Spaner said in reference to a recent application that came to city council. “Where [are] all those kids going to go?”

Chelsea Ferraro said she bought on Promontory so her kids could go to the school there, but her daughter is forced to go to Watson elementary. She drives her, although busing is provided. But for this the young girl would have to walk 20 minutes to the bus stop, get off at Vedder elementa-ry and get on a different bus to go to Watson.

“There are still many kids ahead of her on the waitlist for Promontory and I registered her in August of last year,” Ferraro said.

Promontory school was built in 2000 and was immediately over capacity.

“It was built way under capacity,” Dyck said.

At that time, the school board had population projections the govern-

ment of the day didn’t accept and, apparently, the government of today still don’t accept.

“Nobody believed us at that time,” Dyck said. “We’ll keep pushing the ministry.”

She added that in her brief meet-ing with Bernier last Thursday, he didn’t necessarily accept the school board’s projections that the city’s population of 87,000 today would be 97,000 by 2020.

“We were accurate then and we are accurate now,” she said.

The Times found out about Berni-er’s visit, which was not made public, and attended at Sardis secondary for the tour. After the visit with Principal Diego Testa there was a moment to ask a question about when a new school on or near Promontory could be expected.

“It’s a very unique district in a lot of different ways, with parts of it growing and parts of it not,” he said. “We will be meeting with the school board later on today and discussing and talking about some of the challenges they are facing.”

Dyck said in the meeting, which lasted less than an hour, it was made clear there would be no money for a new school any time soon.

What Dyck and the board is pushing for strongly, instead, is the “band-aid” solution for Promontory of expansion on the building, some-thing that was planned for when it was first built.

“We are trying to be proactive and

ready and to let him know we can do this quickly,” she said.

But even if the provincial gov-ernment does approve funding for Promontory’s expansion, the school would still be over-capacity, still with three portables down from the seven currently.

The 11 elementary schools on the south side of the district are sitting at 124 per cent of capacity as of Sept. 30, 2016, according to numbers pro-vided by board staff.

The nine elementary schools on the north side are at 93 per cent with a large discrepancy between schools. Cheam elementary is at 176 per

cent, which is a function of the board’s location of the popular early French immersion program at the small school with a capacity of 111 students that has 195 enrolled.

McCammon elementary, on the other hand, is at 67

per cent capacity with just 289 students in a building capable of housing 429.

As for middle and secondary schools on the south side, Sardis is at 106 per cent, GW Graham is at 110 per cent, yet Vedder middle is at 89 per cent and Mount Slesse middle is at 84 per cent.

On the north side, Chilliwack middle is at 105 per cent, Chilliwack secondary is at 93 per cent and AD Rundle middle is at 67 per cent.

The district wide total has a capac-ity for 11,880 students with 12,207 enrolled for next year, putting it at 103 per cent capacity.

Happy Anniversary Chilliwack.It was 10 years ago, June 22, 2006,

when we got together, before which I lit-erally only knew the city as that place on Highway 1 with the pink car on the Pick A Part sign.

A decade ago the population of Chilli-wack was 69,000. At the next census five years in 2011 it was up to 78,000, and is estimated today to be about 88,000.

That’s a staggering increase and the city has seen remarkable changes in that period of time.

I’ve seen two MPs in the riding, five MLAs in the two ridings that include Chilliwack, two mayors and a rotation of 14 different city councillors.

This paper has had four different owners and I’ve seen more than a dozen reporters come through this newsroom.

In the last decade we’ve seen the con-struction of the Evans Road Interchange and the Chilliwack Cultural Centre, and the demolition of the Empress and the Paramount.

The face of housing has changed dra-matically in 10 years with development on Promontory and Garrison Crossing and Webster Landing, not to mention pockets of townhouses and apartments

and infill all over the city. There are 20,000 more people here after all.

When I arrived, Five Corners had the courthouse on one corner, that empty triangle-shaped building on another, the Irwin Block, BMO and the Vault.

The courthouse and the empty build-ing have survived the decade, but the Vault is now Triple Play, BMO is UFV and the Irwin Block is a park.

And while change over 10 years is unsurprising, as I look back at the stories I filed in 2006, what is remarkable to me is the similarities.

In July of 2006 I reported on an attack of elderly homeless people in Salish Park. The faces are different, but the city is still home to a persistent if fluid home-less population.

Redevelopment of the core of the city was front and centre in ‘06 as the Down-town Strategic Plan was unveiled, with the tagline “The Place to Be,” used by city

council “to let people know they want downtown to become a special place.” Same sentiment today.

There were also problem properties 10 years ago such as the ones we report-ed on a few weeks ago this month. In August 2006 three downtown properties, two owned by “slum lords” were the subject of demolition.

Heading to Cultus Lake in August 2006, Sto:lo leader Doug Kelly decried the use of the Soowahlie road by disre-spectful drivers. A persistent problem.

Garbage in the Chilliwack River Valley was the subject of much angst by squat-ters, illegal campers and vandals, and still is today.

Residential density was a hot topic in 2006 as neighbours came out to com-plain about a proposed rezoning to build three houses on a property where there was one on Stevenson. Sound familiar?

And crime? During a conference call with then MP Chuck Strahl, he said he was with then Coun. Sharon Gaetz and Vancouver Mayor Sam Sullivan at a roundtable focused on crime, a hot topic at the time: “My last townhall meeting 80 per cent of the questions were about crime.” And that was pre-Facebook.

In October 2006 I reported on near record low water flows on the Fraser and Chilliwack/Vedder rivers, then in November the Chilliwack River burst its banks flooding the river valley.

On First Nations issues, in October 2006 I reported on a a protest by Sto:lo leaders against the province’s continued funding of a controversial child and fam-ily services society. And president of the Sto:lo Nation Chief Joe Hall said he was “very optimistic” at treaty talks with the federal and provincial government.

We still see protests at the treatment of First Nations by higher levels of govern-ment, and Hall doesn’t have a treaty.

So many moving targets, so much change, so much improvement, and yet so much familiarity in the stories.

We are still talking about flooding and droughts, crime and punishment, down-town, development and farmland.

The good, I would say, always out-weighs the bad here in Chilliwack by a long shot, even if it sometimes doesn’t seem so in these pages.

I’ve been dealt a pretty good hand, got lucky here and there. And like me or loathe me, after 10 years I’m not going anywhere. I’m all in.

10 years of change and repetition

OUR VIEW

The end of June is an exciting time for many young graduates. It’s a time when the established routines of grade school come to an end and the next stage

of life begins.Grade 12s at local high schools have their eyes on a

number of different targets.For some, the planning has already begun for the next

instalment in their educational life, which for many will start this fall. Others are charting out a “gap” year, one that will see them join the workforce if they haven’t already done so, or start analyzing the map to see where they’d like to travel before tackling more studies, or embarking upon a career.

There are those, too, who haven’t yet got a plan in place for this transitional time. Many parents worry about the direction these children will take now that school is wind-ing up and they are essentially becoming young adults. Will they take the initiative and start looking for work, or simply hang out waiting for something to be handed to them?

Parents of today’s grads grew up in an environment where getting ahead, sooner rather than later, was the mantra and that hasn’t really changed much.

But taking a year or even two off school—not necessar-ily work—after graduation to figure out where their pas-sions lay and what gets them excited in life can be a good investment in one’s future happiness.

Post-grad routescan vary widely

Editor:I was troubled when I read

Thomas Cheney’s letter in your June 16 edition of the Times.

Over the past month, I have sent a survey to every household in Chilliwack to get their opinion on whether or not they think that they should get the final say on changing our electoral system through a national refer-endum. This was done to learn more about what my constitu-ents think about this important issue, but Mr. Cheney fails to see the value in such consultations.

In his letter, Mr. Cheney wrote that “[m]ost referenda on elec-toral reform fail as voters simply are unable or unwilling to take the time to make an informed decision.” This is unbelievably disrespectful to Canadians, and unfortunately echoes the senti-ments that Liberal ministers and Prime Minister Trudeau have been uttering for weeks.

I believe that Canadians are smart enough to make up their own minds on electoral reform without anyone telling them what to think. In fact, I would rather put my trust in the deci-sion of 36 million Canadians from coast to coast to coast over that of 12 MPs sitting on a com-mittee in Ottawa, no matter what the composition of that commit-tee looks like.

While Mr. Cheney insults Canadians, I am consulting Canadians. That is why even though I believe that this his-toric opportunity to reform our electoral system should require a referendum, my first course of action was to reach out to every household in my constituency to see what they thought about this issue. The responses are still pouring in, but so far the overwhelming majority agree that electoral reform requires a national referendum. Recent sci-entific opinion polls show that about 75 per cent of Canadians agree.

While I fundamentally dis-

agree with Mr. Cheney’s char-acterization of Canadians, I do welcome this frank discussion on the future of Canada’s elec-toral system. After all, one of the things I love most about Cana-da is the freedom to exchange ideas and engage in vigorous public debates. I will continue to engage with my constituents on the issue of electoral reform and other important issues, in the weeks and months ahead.

Mark Strahl, MPChilliwack - Hope

All good things come from Rome? Editor:

The world is being treated to a political spectacle in the current run up to the U.S. presiden-tial election not seen in many decades, although toward the end of the 20th century and now in the early years of the 21st, har-bingers of a monumental split in the political landscape have been seen with a troubling sense of impropriety.

There will always be differenc-es in how one views the world through a political lens, however ay this time we are witnessing a degree of disrespect and lack of probity unparalleled in political discourse.

The Republican campaign, with the entrance of Donald Trump and his outright demagoguery, surely has given many in the U.S. cause to pause and contemplate

the state of American values. I say this because Americans have made it their business to tell the world that their society is the bea-con light for all others to emulate.

One is reminded that before the Roman Empire fell Caesar declared that all things good come from Rome. Christians would agree that in the end that for them would ring true. In our reality what seems to ring true may have a discordant note.

Perhaps this is the time for all world citizens to examine the rhetoric as displayed by the contenders for the Republican nomination.

When we do this let us fully understand that one of these individuals could come to be president of arguably the most powerful and influential nation on Earth and the responsibility entailed in this is one that requires almost superhuman virtues and social abilities.

If we are informed, which during this epoch it is difficult not to be aware, even if by soundbite or tweet of every speech, debate and talking point in the campaign we will have noticed some of the following.

We have promises to build walls between nations, we have admonitions to distrust immi-grants, registration of Muslims and deportation of Mexicans. A policy which would see the exile of undesirables from America’s shores has been proposed.

Threats have been made to bomb regions in the Middle East into oblivion. Promises to torture enemies of the state have been proposed exceeding even those alleged to have taken place in recent years.

Debates have deteriorated into personal invective. Size of body parts used as debating points. Total disinformation on historical fact and, in fact, outright self-serv-ing lies seem to be the order of the day.

What is most amazing is by all accounts millions of evangelical

Christians in the U.S. are support-ing these candidates. There sadly are people in Canada who are being seduced by this simplistic messaging. Throughout history populations have been swayed by charlatans through a process of popularism which when dissected reveals a shallow desire by many to believe in simplistic solutions. This occurred in Europe when a population coming out of a world conflict found itself under the spell of a man and a movement whose cornerstones were racist, fascist, misogynistic and wholly undemocratic.

America, granted is a society that is showing strains of the pol-icies and perhaps one could say the neglect of past generations and the nations’ forays into con-flicts throughout the world.

This nation, whose founding fathers envisioned a secure place for the downtrodden of the world, has morphed at least by the words of these pretenders to the ultimate seat of American power into a deeply divided, troubled place.

If we Canadians in particular are not wary of the events unfold-ing in the U.S. our lives will be changed in ways we will surely not take too kindly.

Nations are not ruled by the caprice of the day but by long-standing democratic principles enshrined in constitutions and rules of law.

It appears that these tenets are at risk by the words of the con-tenders and in particular the Bar-nam and Bailey campaign being conducted by the front runner.

So what shall we do here in Chilliwack?

› Faith Today

BY CURTIS FAST

Yarrow MB Church

In the book of Galatians Paul recounts his conver-sion story. Galatians 1:11-12 says, “Dear brothers and

sisters, I want you to under-stand that the gospel message I preach is not based on mere human reasoning. I received my message from no human source, and no one taught me. Instead, I received it by direct revelation from Jesus Christ.”

What does that even mean? What does it mean to have a revelation from Jesus Christ?

This sounds kind of like one of those out there spiritual things and to some of you maybe it is. But I would like to make it much more practical than that. It means that God has revealed himself to you as the person of Jesus. So if you claim to be a Christian, then you have had a revelation from Jesus Christ.

For Paul this happened as a blinding light and a voice from heaven. This wasn’t just a per-sonal experience either, Acts 9 says that the people around

him heard the noise but didn’t have the vision, so it was par-tially a communal experience.

Ananias gave Paul his second revelation from Jesus when he said, “The Lord—Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here—has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”

How does that reveal Jesus? It tells Paul that Jesus is bigger than him or his plans. Yet at the same time Jesus cares for him enough that he told Ananias to go pray for Paul so the Lord could heal him and bless him with the power of the Spirit that created the universe.

That’s pretty cool.

It shows us the character of our God. He loves you enough to not let you stay the same forever. His desire is for you to become a perfect version of yourself and reflect His loving character to others.

How has Jesus revealed him-self to you recently?

Maybe it was a flash of light and a thundering voice, maybe it was a much quieter voice that spoke a question like, “is this really it in life?”

Maybe it was a voice that spoke life saying, “you are loved . . . you are cared for . . . I’m calling you out with a purpose to do . . . .”

If it speaks life or challenges your ways of thinking, then it

very well could be from God.Maybe someone else has

spoken an encouragement or blessing over you. That is Jesus revealing himself to you. Maybe you were reading a scripture and the words felt like a punch in the chest. “For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharp-er than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our inner-most thoughts and desires.” (Hebrews 4:12) The Lord has revealed himself to you

These are amazing experi-ences and they are good gifts from God. But something to remember is that God doesn’t give us good gifts so that we can be happy about the gifts, but so that they direct us towards the gift giver.

Jesus is the giver of these good gifts. If you seek him he will reveal himself to you and breathe life into your soul.

Curtis Fast is the worship direc-tor at the Yarrow MB Church. Feel free to contact him via email at [email protected].

What is a revelation from Jesus Christ? aware of the easily found pitfalls of demagoguery and deceit.

Conversations must take place in our churches, mosques and temples in our communities about the hypocrisy of politics conduct-ed this way which conflicts with the moral teaching of the gospels and for those not of a faith the peaceful teachings of their families.

It would seem that in the U.S. there is a disconnect between these moral precepts and the actions and words of those who would lead their country. We must ensure that in Canada we don’t succumb to the same.

Let us be reminded that when we see and hear utter-ances from Mr. Trump and others and think they are humorous and nothing will come of it, the election of a person of these convictions will not bode well for our lives. History is our greatest teacher. It is rueful that our lifespans are short and every generation must relearn terrible lessons of the past. We can give guid-ance because we remember. Tragedies of the past do not

always have to be relived or relearned if we never allow our society to forget.

Please talk to someone today. Tomorrow comes quickly and it may be too late.

Eagles’ nest gets memorializedEditor:

Re: From Windstorm to Keepsake, Times, June 16.

I was so happy to read an update about the eagles’ nest that came down in Novem-ber’s windstorm. It was very thoughtful of Gary Johnson to make a beautiful memory for Angela Bailey.

I have watched that eagles’ nest for more than 25 years and drive by it everyday and still find myself looking for the eagles. You could see the nest from the Prest Road overpass on a winter’s day when the leaves had fallen.

Howden makes national teamLocal Ski Cross racing phenom Reece Howden was named to the 2016-17 Canada Ski Cross National C & D Team and will be targeting World Cup races for the near future. The Cultus Lake athlete will be leaving home to take advantage of a new centralized training program that “directly targets the next gen-eration of ski cross successes while offering the athletes an opportunity to pursue post-secondary educa-tion.” A dedicated coach will train Howden and his cohorts over 100 days on snow with 32 days dedicat-ed to competition. The centralized approach to training, supported by the government’s Sport Canada Athlete Assistance Program, aims to bring gym training, on-snow train-ing and education all into one area to reduce costs to the athletes and Alpine Canada. Currently, Canada’s ski cross world cup team is ranked first in the world in the sport which has been a winter Olympic sport

since its 2010 debut. Howden’s latest gold medal moment came in the Youth Olympic Games (YOG) Lillehammer, Norway ski cross event in February.

Siraj claims MMA titleChilliwack’s Jamie “The Gremlin” Siraj became the new Battlefield Fight League (BFL) bantamweight champion when he defeated rival Nick Ghaeni with less than a min-ute left in the third round in the co-main event of BFL 44 at the Hardrock Casino in Coquitlam Sat-urday. In the title fight—postponed from BFL 43 in early May—Siraj won by submitting Ghaeni with a high elbow choke. His victory comes just over one year after Ghaeni

stopped Siraj’s eight-fight win streak with a unanimous decision victory over the Gremlin at BFL 35. Ghaeni was undefeated going into Saturday’s matchup after beating Craig Maclean last November in the BFL 40 main event at Squiala Hall in Chilliwack.

Chiefs retire Howe’s jersey numberThe Chilliwack Chiefs retired num-ber nine last week, as a tribute to Gordie Howe who passed away recently at the age of 88. Number nine is the first to be retired by the Chiefs and Head Coach Jason Tatar-nic said the decision was an easy one to make, adding that the club wants Chiefs fans and players to “remember and honour the great-est ambassador of our game on and off the ice.” Returning forward Jesse Lansdell, who wore number nine last season said it was an honour to wear Howe’s number and has no problem moving to a different number.

Scholarships awardedThe Fraser Valley Basketball Offi-cials Association (FVBOA) awarded Kyle Helsloot of GW Graham and Afton Servatius of Sardis Secondary 2016/17 FVBOA Athletic Scholar-ships. Each year the FVBOA gives away two scholarships (one male and one female athlete). The FVBOA encourages those who are inter-ested in learning to referee basket-ball or wish to attend education sessions in the future to visit our website at www.fvboa.ca for more information.

Vaulters finish wellSeveral local equestrian vaulters earned top three finishes close to home as they vaulted in the NorthLight Invitational event at Blackstock Performance Horses arena in Chilliwack last weekend. Sixty beginner and intermediate vaulters from Lower Mainland clubs joined the competition. Chilliwack’s Freedom Acrobatics club mem-

bers Samantha Kennedy (first in freestyle class and second overall in intermediate canter division), Hannah Campbell (second in free-style) and Mary Coates (second in compulsories and third in freestyle; beginner canter division). Jordan Sandulak placed first overall in the beginner trot division, followed by Jessica VanNuys in second and Ashley Dykstra in third. Other suc-cessful Freedom vaulters were: Jake Campbell, second in compulsories; M’Kayla Bardwell, third in compul-sories; and Ava Bergener, third in freestyle. In the intermediate walk division Vienna Schubert finished third in compulsories. Competing for the first time, Victoria Harmatuik finished second in freestyle at that level. In the pairs category, both on the horse and on the stationary barrel, Trinity Smadello and Shaylee Isaac-Edwards finished in first place. Smadello was also first in the

showtime If you goConfectioner’s Cabaret: June 25 at the Tzeachten Community Hall. Tickets are $20 and canbe purchased by calling 604-795-4780 or at the door. Show starts at 7 p.m.

It’s a theatre-goer’s dream week and this year it’s closer than ever thanks to the Chilliwack

Community Arts Council.Showcasing the best in British

Columbia community theatre, Mainstage celebrates the wealth of our province’s stage production and acting talent . . . and this year Chilliwack plays host from July 2 to July 9 at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre’s HUB International Theatre (9201 Corbould St.).

The centrepiece of the Mainstage festival is the culmination of win-ning plays selected from around

the province. Each year 10 Theatre BC Zone Festivals held in April and May bring together more than 60 community theatre clubs vying for the chance to show off their talents to Mainstage audiences.

Following a lively adjudication process, the best of the best are awarded 16 prestigious trophies known as “Thespians.”

“The festival creates an amaz-ing opportunity for theatrego-ers to view performances from

communities all over the region” said Mainstage 2016 committee co-chair, Patti Lawn. “Chilliwack will play host to amazing talent that we would otherwise not have the chance to see.”

In addition to the inspiring feature performances, the festival offers a series of daytime per-forming arts workshops taught by industry professionals, Green Room Socials following each eve-ning of theatre on the main stage,

and a festive final night awards ceremony to mark the end of the community theatre year.

Join your fellow theatre fans in celebrating theatre excellence from July 2 to 9. Tickets and packages are available through the Chilliwack Cultural Centre box office at 604-391-SHOW (7469) or chilliwackcul-turalcentre.ca.

The Tractorgrease Cafe hosts a night of acoustic fingerstyle guitar with Calum Graham

June 23.At just 24, Graham has already

enjoyed a career that would be the envy of most artists double his age. The Alberta-based guitarist and singer/songwriter has released five acclaimed albums, won major national music competitions, performed at the Olympic Games in both Vancouver and London, racked up some phenomenal views on YouTube, and was most recently named one of the top 30 guitarists in the world under 30 by Acoustic Guitar Magazine.

Andy McKee, one of today’s most popular acoustic guitarists, calls Gra-ham “the most promising young gui-tarist I’ve seen. His command of the guitar is already really impressive.”

Joining Graham will be fellow gui-tarist Kris Schulz.

The show is June 23 at 7 p.m. Tick-ets are $15 and available at 604-858-3814 or email [email protected].

Chicken-Like Birds come backThey’re back again. Chicken-Like

Birds with guest Ben Everyman play the Cafe June 25.

Chicken-Like Birds is the combi-nation of Ari Lantela who is known for his refined sloppy blues guitar picking and Jasmin Frederickson who has recently but dedicatedly taken up the double bass. Together they sing their original country blues and ragtime songs about adventure, independent wom-en, how to cook a mean batch of cornbread and the pair’s strange relationship. Slap in some on-stage antics, a few funny stories and some strangely endearing awk-wardness and you’ve got Chick-en-Like Birds.

Staggering across folk, country, and blues, Everyman’s music hints of satire and parody, glued together by an unquenchable desire to spit in the eyes of convention. He often performs as a one-and-a-half-man-band, accompanying himself on drums and harmonica, lapsing into the occasional tirade or impromptu poetry.

Tickets for Chicken-Like Birds and Ben Everyman are $15 and available at 604-858-3814 or email [email protected].

The cast of The Wizard of Oz can’t wait to share a magical evening of musi-cal theatre hits with you on

Saturday, June 25 at the Tzeachten Community Hall during the 7th Annual Confectioner’s Cabaret.

Their annual dessert cabaret fea-tures both past and present Sec-ondary Characters cast members singing songs like, “The Merry Old Land of Oz,” “I’ve Got a Dream,” “Take a Chance on Me,” “The Rainbow Connection,” “Simple Joys,” “Killer Instinct,” “Over the Rainbow,” “Part of Your World” and more.

Tickets are available by calling 604-795-4780 to reserve, but you can also buy a ticket from any of the cast members.

If you miss out on connecting

with a cast member before the big night, you can also get your tickets at the door (cash only). All the funds raised go towards putting on Secondary Charac-ters summer produc-tion.

The doors open at 6:30 p.m., and the show starts at 7 p.m.

Tickets are $20 each, or $5 for chil-dren 12 and under.

The 7th Annual Confectioner’s Cabaret also features a silent auc-

tion with wonderful items donated by local businesses.

Here’s a sampling of some of the prizes that you can bid on: Gift certif-icates to Undine’s Retreat, Inner Vision Yoga, Ken’s Tire & Wheel, Lolly’s, Minter Gardens, and more. Items from Schellen-berg Pottery, Quik Pik Flowers, Principal Air, JR Jewelers, The Chilliwack School of

Performing Arts, The Airport Coffee Shop, and more.

BLAKE Maria YvonneFebruary 3, 1932 – June 14, 2016With great sorrow, we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend.

Maria is survived by her children Richard (Kathy), David, James, her grandchildren Kristen (Nick) and Cameron (Aprilynne), six sisters, two brothers, two sister in-laws and 4 brother in-laws.

Maria was born in Elrose, Saskatchewan into a family of 14 children. She took her early education at Ivor, a small one room prairie school. She then attended Rosetown’s convent to complete her high school education where she graduated. She then furthered her education becoming a Registered Psychiatric Nurse working at Weyburn Psychiatric Hospital. It was there she met and married Clare Blake, the love of her life. Clare’s Air Force position required several moves; Cold Lake, Ottawa, Richmond, Winnipeg then Chilliwack where they raised 3 boys.

Maria is predeceased by her husband Clare, June 2015, her mom and dad, 1 sister, 4 brothers, 5 sister in-laws and 6 brother in-laws.

Marie was a caring and compassionate mother who always put the well being of others fi rst. She loved to entertain, cook, play bridge and would relax each night while completing a crossword or jig saw puzzle. Maria also had an adventuress side as she was seen Bungee jumping in New Zealand and well as in Whistler BC at the young age of 78. She will be missed as the family genealogist. She partici-pated many mornings with friends over coff ee enjoying each others company at a local restaurant.

Although we are saddened by Maria’s passing we know she is at peace in heaven, we take great comfort in knowing that all her wishes have been met.

We would like to invite you to celebrate Maria’s life with us at Maria and Clare’s home, 47539 Swallow Crescent, Chilliwack, Wednesday, July 6 between 2 and 4 pm.

Please no fl owers, If you wish, please send a donation to a charity of your choice. Our thanks to Dr. bull and all the special staff and volunteers at Cascade Hospice. 76
