Misplaced outrage over pay packets

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON

[email protected]

If not for Chief Ron Giesbrecht of the Kwikwetlem First Nation and his $800,000 bonus last year, the

attempt by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) to foment outrage about pay packets for aboriginal leaders in Canada may have back-fired.

When the federal government began to post the remuneration statements of aboriginal chiefs and councillors along with band finan-cial statements last week, the CTF expressed “jubilation” and took full credit for the First Nations Financial Transparency Act (FNFTA) that made it possible.

And while information from just half of the bands in the Times’ readership area was posted before going to press, it would appear most chiefs and councillors were in fact paid quite modest honoraria and/or

Love is in the air

When most people fly to their honeymoon destinations, they arrive at the airport with lug-gage packed, boarding passes

printed and passports ready.But when Joel and Melanie Ellis took off

from Chilliwack Airport on the morning of

July 26, there was no check-in and no line-up at the security counter.

The couple marked the start of their post-wedding trip to Yellowknife by hand cranking the propeller of a 1948 Piper Vaga-bond two-seated airplane.

And if the trip wasn’t adventure enough, a 10-gallon fuel tank means they have to stop for gas every two hours of flight.

But Melanie is used to her new husband’s

aircraft, and has full confidence in his skills.“Flying in that plane is like putting on

another pair of pants for him,” she said before climbing in the cockpit and making adjustments for lift-off.

With Joel in the pilot’s seat and Melanie squeezed beside him with navigation tools, they pulled onto the runway and rose off

This week on the webAshwell Road home gutted by fire Aug. 2

A single-family home on Ashwell at Kipp was damaged by an early morning fire Aug. 2.

The Chilliwack Fire Department was called to the address and found the house fully engulfed.

Firefirghters from Halls 1 and 4 quickly brought the fire under control. There was significant heat and smoke damage in the house, but no one was home so there were no injuries.

The cause of the fire is under investigation by fire department officials and the RCMP.

New warning about an old scam

The Chilliwack RCMP are warning the public about a money scam.

An elderly couple was contacted and advised that they had won more than a million dollars in a lottery. In order to receive their funds, they were requested to send money to a person who said he was a lawyer.

“The couple sent a total of $6,500 to an over-seas account,” said RCMP spokesperson Const. Tracy Wolbeck. “We want the public to be aware that this lottery scam has occurred in the past and to always question when being requested to send money.”

Anyone with infor-mation regarding this fraud is asked to contact the Chilliwack RCMP at (604)792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1(800 )222-8477 (TIPS).

salaries last year.Chief Clem Seymour of

Seabird Island, for example, a reserve with 934 registered members, was paid $34,951 in 2013.

“If any individual were to look at his travel itinerary and his calendar of meetings, it might send an Olympic athlete to the hospital, I’m not exag-gerating,” said Ernie Crey, a long-time First Nations leader who has served in many roles including policy analyst for the Sto:lo Tribal Council and, as of November, is a council mem-ber for the Cheam band.

“If I were the [CTF] I might be a little embarrassed at what little remuneration is paid to probably the overwhelming majority of First Nations leaders.”

By Wednesday morning, information for Cheam, Seabird Island, Skawah-look, Skwah, Soowahlie, Squiala, Sts’ailes and Tzeachten was online. Not yet posted by the federal government was Aitche-litz, Kwaw-kwaw-Apilt, Leq’a:mel, Popkum, Shx-wha:y, Skowkale or Yakweak-wioose.

The highest paid so far is Squiala Chief David Jimmie who received $105,910 last year. Of that, $14,199 was for his role as chief and $91,711 for his full-time job as CEO of the band.

The Squiala First Nation is home to the large, new Eagle Landing retail development project. Jimmie said he is hap-py to be transparent about the financial numbers, and the band always has been. He told the Times Wednesday they have an annual meeting where they present the information to interested community mem-bers.

“You would think we would get a lot of interest from our members. We hardly get any-

body come out,” he said.After Jimmie, Chief Harvey

Paul of St’sailes (pop. 1,076) was paid $78,640. Chief Glenda Campbell of Tzeachten (pop. 493) took home $61,712 last year. And Chief Brenda Wallace of Soowahlie (pop. 368) was paid $54,266. At the low end, Chief Maureen Campbell of the small Skawahlook First Nation in Agassiz (pop. 85, with just seven on reserve) was paid $26,000.

The vast majority of media attention so far has focused on Giesbrecht and the outlandish contract he was able to secure as economic development offi-cer. That deal landed him 10 per cent of all deals, which meant approximately $800,000 on an $8 million land sale in 2013.

Aboriginal and non-aborigi-nal alike were shocked. Former band councillors have even

said they had no idea about Gies-brecht’s contract.

But parse the data from the vast majority of bands and, unless you are already so inclined, more out-rage is hard to muster.

Jimmie’s pay packet may seem

high, but given the success of development of late on his reserve it is by no means exor-bitant.

As with stories about pay for municipal politicians, there will always be someone who complains when an elected official gets a nickel.

Jimmie is well aware that no matter how justified his salary is in the big picture, someone who is unemployed may be shocked.

So has this all backfired on the CTF?

When asked, B.C. director for the CTF Jordan Bateman wouldn’t answer.

“Only one third of the disclo-sures have gone live across the country [as of Tuesday morn-ing], so how do you, or Ernie,

know Giesbrecht is the only outlier?” he asked.

He added that even if it proves to be the case that Giesbrecht’s massive payout is anomalous, it proves the CTF’s “commitment to transparency works.”

In a CTF press release issued July 29, prairie director Colin Craig said that many band members “have been bullied or harassed in the past for merely asking for this basic informa-tion.”

The FNFTA now makes it possible for all band members to find out what their elected representatives earn.

The act has been opposed by a handful of band leaders, but most support being open about

what leaders are paid.Crey said he and other Sto:-

lo leaders he has heard from are happy the FNFTA now provides the information for band members. But speaking of transparency, he said now it’s time for the CTF to walk the walk.

“Those that seek to change public policy, like the Cana-dian Taxpayers Federation, should lead by example as opposed to trying to make an example of others. No?”

The CTF disagrees.When asked who donates to

the CTF, or even a list of the top 20 donors, Bateman reiterated the organization’s position that it guards those names close-ly. Instead, the organization

provides a financial summary that showed all but 326 of the 22,971 donors last year gave less than $1,000. And of those 326, the average donation was $1,395.

The implication being there are no fat cats secretly bank-rolling the CTF. It is a grass-roots organization made up of frustrated taxpayers.

Bateman further suggested that even asking the question was akin to him asking the Times for a list of the paper’s biggest advertisers.

“I’m sure it would be fasci-nating for some to pour [sic] over the names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses for the 22,971 dona-tions we received last year,” he said. “Just as I’m sure others would be fascinated to read the names, addresses, phone num-bers, email addresses and bill-ables of all of the people who advertise in the Chilliwack Times, or who subscribe to the Vancouver Sun. But I’m guess-ing if we, or Ernie, asked you or the Sun’s publisher to turn over that information, you’d cite many reasons why that was a ridiculous request.”

Instead, he pointed to a scrolling list that appears on the organization’s website, www.taxpayer.com with the names of donors who have vol-untarily agreed put their names next to quotes and amounts donated.

CTF wants transparency but keeps funders a tight secret{ FNFTA, from page A1 }

“If I were the [CTF]I might be a little

embarrassed at what little remunerationis paid to probably the overwhelming

majority of First Nations leaders.”

A man convicted of a vicious hammer attack in the Chil-liwack River Valley was

handed yet another jail sentence last week.

Jerry Lee Elliott was sentenced on July 30 to 12 months in jail for possession for the purpose of trafficking and six months for possession of a prohibited weap-on without a licence.

He is already in jail as he was sentenced to three-and-a-half-years for aggravated assault and uttering threats in the October 2010 beating of Douglas Hiatt in

the Chilliwack River Valley.In handing down his deci-

sion in April 2013, Judge Rus-sell MacKay called the attack “vicious, senseless and cowardly.”

The 31-year-old Elliott has a long violent criminal history going back more than a decade.

Most recently, after a guilty plea last December, Elliott was handed 21 days in jail and a three-year driving prohibition for operating a motor vehicle while disqualified. Then in March, after a trial, he received 30 days in jail for driving while prohibited.

A n d s p e a k i n g o f v e h i c l e s, Elliott’s name was front and cen-tre during the attempted mur-

der trial of Aaron Douglas last month.

Shooting victim Jeff Karpes is a friend of Elliott’s and had bor-rowed the Jeep he was sitting in when he was hit by two bullets in the chest in December 2012.

Douglas’s lawyer Ken Beatch spent considerable time linking Karpes to Elliott via their friend-ship, and pointed out that Elliott himself had been the victim of a drive-by shooting.

C h a r g e s a g a i n s t D o u g l a s were stayed by Crown coun-sel mid-trial on July 17 after the court heard a number of incon-sistencies in statements to police by Karpes.

More jail time for Elliott

Motor vehicle accidents plague local roadwaysBY PAUL J. HENDERSON

[email protected]

Many Chilliwack residents have been affected directly or indirectly

by a rash of motor vehicle incidents on local roadways over the past week.

From Promontory to Highway 1 to downtown Chilliwack to Cultus Lake, no area has been spared in this sum-mer-time driving debacle.

Among many other accidents, it start-ed last week when a Chevy Silverado allegedly ran a stop sign on Brooks Ave-nue and hit a Jeep Cherokee on Young Road causing the vehicle to roll over onto its roof. Chilliwack firefighters had to free the female driver with the Jaws of Life. She had minor injuries.

The next day the driver of a truck tipped on the westbound ramp of High-way 1 at the Vedder/Yale exit forcing a prolonged closure to remove the vehi-cle.

Then on Sunday, a car and an SUV were involved in a head-on collision on Promontory Road at the corner near the top of the hill.

Witnesses at the scene said one driver was speeding and in the wrong lane, but this has not been confirmed by police.

Four years ago, city hall didn’t buy the innocent v i c t i m s t o r y f ro m t h e

owner of a Nixon Road proper-ty where the largest marijuana grow operation in Chilliwack RCMP history was found.

Next month, L loyd Allan McConnell will have to see how his oblivious-land-own-er story flies in BC Supreme Court.

L a s t w e e k h i s t r i a l w a s scheduled to begin Sept. 15 in Chilliwack.

McConnell owned the prop-erty where, in September 2009, Mounties found more than 10,000 marijuana plants in an underground bunker.

Police said a conservative estimate of the crop was $3 million, and it was “the larg-est, most sophisticated” grow op they had ever seen.

The grow-op was defended by an elaborate security sys-tem, which included rigged entrances to shoot bear spray at intruders.

There was also a sub-floor b u i l t t o c o n c e a l a n e l e v a -tor-style hydraulic l i ft that

allowed for access to the bun-ker, and inside the bunker there were four separate grow-ing rooms.

Arrested at the scene was 64-year-old Darr yl Francis Ness who was charged, con-victed and handed a condi-tional sentence for his role in the grow-op.

In t h e 2 0 1 2 t r i a l , C row n counsel Michael LeDressay painted a picture of a “mon-strous criminal enterprise.”

Ness’s lawyer said his client was in bad health, dire finan-cial straights and hadn’t prof-ited from the grow-op other than obtaining free rent to live on the property.

Justice William Grist didn’t buy the innocent caretaker argument, but he agreed Ness,

a non-violent offender with no criminal history, was a good candidate or a conditional sentence.

The property’s owner was in front of Chilliwack city council in July 2010 for a show-cause hear ing that ended w ith a notice filed on the property’s title due to hazardous health and safety conditions in the home on the property.

Mc C o n n e l l ’s l aw y e r t o l d city council his client hadn’t received formal notice of what was required for compliance. Gaetz read from a letter sent to McConnell nearly a year prior that outlined precisely what was required. She added the city had little tolerance for grow-ops.

“What part of that doesn’t

your client understand?” she asked.

That’s when lawyer Nathan Mu i rh e a d s a i d Mc C o n n e l l was “an innocent victim” with regard to the grow-op.

B u t G a e t z s a i d t h a t w a s irrelevant because of a bylaw t h a t r e q u i r e s o w n e r s t o inspect properties every two months or they are consid-ered complicit.

Police said the massive Nix-on Road grow-op took a toll on the surrounding environment as chemical were spilled at the site, and operators had run an irrigation line from nearby Elk Creek, a fish-bearing stream.

M o u n t i e s e s t i m a t e d t h e g r o w - o p s t o l e m o r e t h a n $400,000 of electricity to pow-er the operation.

Trial set for massive grow-op11,000 pot plants found in 2009 at Nixon Road property

Submitted

Police found 11,520 plants inside a bunker in 2009. The owner of the property is scheduled to go to trial in September.

Two men appeared in Chilliwack court Friday in connection with drugs, money and guns found in an

Edward Street apartment on Thursday.The men were arrested when the Chil-

liwack RCMP Crime Reduction Unit exe-cuted a search warrant at a unit in the 9300 block of Edward Street.

Lower Mainland District Emergency

Response Team (ERT) assisted in the exe-cution of the warrant that found signifi-cant amounts of what police believe to be heroin, crack cocaine and methamphet-amine. Also found in the unit was cash and a firearm.

At the time of the warrant execution, seven people were detained but just two were arrested and charged.

The drugs located in the apartment were pre-packaged and looked to be ready for distribution, according to Chili-wack RCMP spokesperson Const. Tracy Wolbeck.

“The Crime Reduction Unit is very pro-active in breaking down the drug trade here and this is another example of that work being done well,” Wolbeck said.

Some students on waitlists for the Universi-ty of the Fraser Valley’s (UFV) Trades and Technology (TTC) Centre may be in luck

as more seats are opening up.Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness was

at UFV’s TTC in Chilliwack last Thursday along with Chilliwack MLA John Martin and Abbots-ford-South MLA Darryl Plecas to announce funding for an additional 194 training spaces for trades.

The money is part of the BC Liberal govern-ment’s Skills for Jobs Blueprint with a focus on the liquefied natural gas (LNG) sector the prov-ince hopes is coming.

UFV will receive $872,000 to help add seats in the following trades departments:• 40 welder foundation;• 16 welder apprenticeship;• 18 carpenter foundation;

• 16 carpenter apprenticeship;• 54 electrician foundation;• 32 electrician apprenticeship;• 18 heavy-duty equipment mechanic foundation.

“We want British Columbians to be first in line for the million job openings expect-ed in the coming years,” Martin said in a press release. “The 194 additional trades training seats at the University of the Fraser Valley will give more students the chance to get the skills they need to succeed.”

Banking on a booming LNG industry in the coming years, the province says those one mil-lion job openings will arrive by 2022.

Even Thursday’s positive announcement, how-ever, will not satisfy everyone on the long waiting lists for a number of trades programs at UFV.

In May there were 102 students on a waitlist for construction electrician and 89 students for welding foundation.

“[W]e are, as all other areas are, under budget restraints and budget cuts from the Ministry of

Advanced Education,” Rolf Arnold, director of faculty of applied and technical studies at UFV, said in May.

Last week’s announcement is part of $6.8 million allocated to create 1,424 foundation and apprenticeship seats at 14 schools.

OUR TEAM

Imagine, if you will, arriving in a new land with hundreds or thou-sands of others from a faraway

country only to displace the people already there.

People who had been there, living on the land in relative peace, for liter-ally thousands of years.

Take the land. Take the resources off the land. Force those people already there to live in isolated, small commu-nities cut off in some cases from one another.

Then 150 years later, with empty beer cans in the cooler in your trunk, sun screen and sweat stinking up your clothes, you decide you don’t like the long drive home from the beach so let’s cut through the Indian reserve.

And then you complain because the residents of that reserve, sick and tired of your speeding, your dust, your insolence, your self-importance—to say nothing of your colonialism, your residential schools and your seething racism—block the road so you can’t get through.

Boo-hoo.

The anger and ignorance from a number of inconvenienced beach-go-ers this past weekend after members of the Soowahlie First Nation put up a gate on the road was remarkable.

I won’t repeat the comments here because if they weren’t racist, they were just dumb.

On the bright side, it would appear many local aboriginals seem to turn the other cheek.

Not so the inconvenienced subur-banites who couldn’t use the shortcut.

The conversation on two of the more free-speech-friendly Chilliwack Face-book pages was actually deleted by administrators, which illustrates just how out of hand things got.

Here is the simple thing, as I see it: There is a paved road to Cultus Lake called the Columbia Valley Highway

and it works just fine. It gets busy on weekends and in hot weather. If you don’t like it, don’t go to Cultus.

The Soowahlie First Nation has a relatively tiny piece of land to call their own and they don’t need kids drag racing down the gravel road yelling racist epithets, as has been known to happen.

I’ve only lived in Chilliwack for eight years but I remember the summer we moved here there was similar frustra-tion from Soowahlie band members, and similar ignorance from people who just wanted to get to the lake.

Jennifer Gilderdale wrote a letter in the Times in August 2006 complaining about being treated badly for taking the shortcut. She claimed she was charged money to drive through.

“They say we are racist, but who brought it on themselves by doing what they did that weekend? . . . I kept thinking to myself how can they charge us to use a road? They use our roads.”

Yes, “they” use “our” roads. Would it be racist to suggest that

“you” are on “their” land? And I’m not talking about just when you want a shortcut to the beach. Your house is on “their” land. Maybe not legally, but your house (if you live in the Cultus Lake or Vedder Crossing area) is on unceded Soowahlie territory.

That may mean nothing to folks des-perate for a shortcut around traffic, but it means something to the aboriginals just a generation or two away from near cultural genocide.

I wonder how many of those road users are aware that members of the Soowahlie band had planned an Idle No More-style protest on Aug. 1 to block the road, but it was cancelled due to internal band disagreement about the plan. In other words, it could have been worse.

Some residents are upset at how some band members blocked the road on the B.C. Day long weekend and were unfriendly to trespassers.

I’m amazed, frankly, at the restraint Soowahlie band members have shown over the last decade.

You don’t have a right to trespass

OUR VIEW

In the last hours of the B.C. Day long weekend many of us missed the passing of a very important event. Some of us forgot, while others chose to ignore it.

In our attempts to hang on to that final sunny holiday afternoon, it’s almost excusable to let the centennial anniversary of the First World War go unnoticed.

But it’s not really forgivable at all. We have to remem-ber. Of course many people did acknowledge the historic day, but it was ill-timed and didn’t receive the attention it deserved.

And while it’s so very important to simply remember, 100 years is a fitting landmark period to assess how we each feel about war today.

The war to end all wars did nothing of the sort. It started a trend: the industrialization of war.

With leaders as much as ever trading their citizens’ lives for personal gain—along with instant updates on our phones with pictures of conflicts around the world—it can be all-too persistent and overwhelming. As a result, caring about strife in far reaches of the plan-et might seem pointless.

How does one think about war today, in a peaceful country so far removed from conflict by geography and time?

It’s an individual pursuit with no sure answers, but one well worth exploring.

We Canadians are lucky to live in a peaceful, stable country. We should be wise not to take it for granted.

Overlooked on sunny B.C. day

Irresponsible dog owners aboundEditor:

Re: Kelly Moore’s letter regarding off-leash parks, July 31

Ms. Moore,In regards to your very valid

points about the excessive devel-opment in Chilliwack and lack of off-leash areas for dogs, I agree. I for one, am not a “dog person” but do understand the need for more off-leash areas.

Unfortunately, from my experi-ences, mostly along the Rotary Trail, there are very few responsible dog owners. I have been chased, bit-ten, ridden through dog feces, and tangled in retractable leashes that no one seems to know how to use. This isn’t while speeding along the multi-user trails along the Vedder River. I let my presence known well in advance, slow down to walking speed, and move to the appropriate side of the trail. Yet I still have to weave through people that move right while their dogs go left, leaving the aforementioned leashes strung across the trail, dog feces, and usu-ally the dog who is now trying to bite me or chase me. Then I have to worry about my daughter behind me. That’s if the dog is on a leash. If it’s not and starts to chase me/us, I have to stop.

Some dogs pose no real concern while others . . . well let’s just say I’m prepared. And what of the wildlife you speak of or dogs of responsible owners? They all get chased or disturbed to some extent. I’ve seen dogs attack spawning salmon in the river. I’ve seen dogs attack other dogs or chase rabbits, geese, and

other birds. I’ve seen two off leash huskies run at an RCMP dog, and I’ve read about numerous events in the paper.

All these irresponsible dog own-ers help to “paint” the responsible ones with the same brush and public safety takes precedence over dogs.

I won’t even speak to how many times I’ve almost been hit by people driving with dogs on their laps.

Follow Surrey’s lead on dog parksEditor:

Re: Kelly Moore’s letter regarding off-leash parks, July 31

I heartily agree with the comments made in this letter and it is tragic that there is such disregard for wildlife in the pursuit of the almighty dollar.

It is no surprise that Surrey has nine off-leash parks as the mayor

and council there have animal welfare on their agenda, (i.e. fines for people who violate the “Care of Dogs” section of the bylaw).

It would not appear that our coun-cil is the least bit interested in areas concerning compassion for our four-legged friends. I hope I am wrong—time will tell.

Condos wrong for Minter Gardens Editor:

Re: The Future of Minter Gardens, July 31

I like the possibility that the University of Fraser Valley will get involved with Minter Gardens. Several faculties could each have responsibility for a section of the gardens. For one department alone it might be too much, although not impossible. Each could have a theme and place interns and work-shops there.

I was privileged to join a tour of the very large and varied Devonian Gardens when I attended an alumni weekend at the University of Alber-ta. I was impressed with the variety of ways that that the university is involved. It was thrilling.

I am against using the area for new condos. What a ridiculous waste of the heritage Brian Minter has provided through his many years of skilled dedication.

Greendale MB Church

We live in a world full of conflict. We see it all over the world in Africa, Ukraine, the

Middle East, to name a few. Much of the conflict is based on differing religious views. Even in Jesus’ day there was conflict around politics and religion. Here is what he had to say.

“You have heard it was said, ‘Love your neighbour and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you… (Matthew 5:43, 44)

In our western world, we debate how to apply loving our enemies. In a world filled with conflict, which is highly complicated, it is even more difficult.

What did Jesus have in mind when he said these words? I believe he is calling us to live in such a way as to put the interests of others before our own.

Loving our enemy is calling us to place his/her interests first. Some might say that this doesn’t work. However, what would it look like for people to agree to let each other live? Is the beginning of love the willingness to let people exist? We can agree that we have differences

of opinion on how things should work but should we agree that every human life is precious?

If we want to start close to home, and I would like you to consider this, what would it mean for you to put the interests of your spouse or children ahead of your own?

Let me suggest that it wouldn’t be to give your children whatever they wanted. Rather you would give them what they need, when they need it.

You would assist them in becom-ing adults who contribute positively to the world that they live in. This is not handing them everything before they ask. Allowing them to struggle

is how they learn.I have a grandson who didn’t

walk until somewhere around 17 months. He was a very compli-ant, easy-going child. Don’t know where that came from. However, he learned to walk when he wanted to get something and he couldn’t reach it. Did he cry? Yes. Did we all run to give it to him? No. He had to reach out and learn how to walk so that he could achieve something. Would loving him have been to give him everything? No.

Loving our enemies is not about giving them or us everything that we want. Certainly we need to listen and hear what their needs are. Lis-

tening well is loving in itself. I would hope that followers of

Jesus are working hard to embrace and live out what it means to love our enemies.

In Canada, it is fairly easy. How are you doing at loving your ene-mies? In conflict areas of our world it is painfully difficult. Yet many are choosing to love their enemies in the middle of conflict.

Let’s join together to pray for peace in our world and practice it here.

A day in the fast lane with RustyBY GREG LAYCHAK

[email protected]

At the base of a small mountain just outside of Agassiz, morning quiet is interrupted by the roar

of a 460 hp engine revving up.“You hear that, Randy?” asks Christie

Fettes.“It’s like music,” responds a nearby

voice.For a visibly excited Fettes it’s the

song of a race car, and it’s the reason she’s here at Agassiz Speedway on the Saturday of a long weekend.

Each of about 20 participants gath-ered at the oval track for the Rusty Wal-lace Racing Experience will either sit for a ride-along with an seasoned race-car driver, or take control of the wheel themselves, depending on their chosen package.

In her case, Fettes is ready to scratch “driving a race car” off her bucket list, an aspiration 15 years in the waiting.

“I’m a little nervous,” she says after sitting through the required driving tutorial. “My kids are coming to watch so I don’t want to crash, but I’m really stoked.”

Although a little car-to-car contact is acceptable in stock car racing, it’s for-bidden for these one-day racers.

And while uncommon in paid week-end events, accidents do happen in the actual sport, according to driver Aaron Willison.

“Even though we wreck fairly often, we walk away every time,” says the 26-year-old racer. “But I’m confident we’re safer driving on the racetrack than we are driving to work in the morning.”

He refers to the strict safety measures enforced at the track, and the required safety gear such as neck restraints.

Today Willison drives ride-along v i s i t o r s i n t h e f i b e r g l a s s b o d y

late-model stock cars, pushing speeds of over 130 kilometers per hour. That number might seem low, but on a short oval track, there’s not much straightaway—it’s almost all curve.

The young equipment mechan-ic climbs through the driver’s side window to give his next customer their speed fix.

As they strap in, he makes sure the video camera is in position, ready to capture the passenger on the ride of their life.

Powerful cars on a small trackHardy Nelson didn’t know until

9 a.m. that morning that he’d be driving a race car.

H i s p a r t n e r Carlene Fetterly detoured their hol-iday weekend trip to the interior with a spontaneous ear-ly birthday present.

Having complet-ed his laps, he pulls off the track and climbs out of the vehicle smiling.

“I was a little apprehensive at first because they’re very pow-erful and the track is very small,”

he says. “But they’re actually very predictable.”

His only regret was paying for 10 laps, the number he says it takes to get a feel for the car and the track. He figures he should have doubled that amount to really get

the most out of the experience.

Clay nabs bronze at Commonwealth GamesIn Glasgow, Chilliwack gymnast Zachary Clay did his part to contrib-ute to a bronze medal for Canada’s Common-wealth score in the men’s team final event, July 29. Clay recorded points in the pommel horse, rings, vault, par-allel bar and horizontal bar events. Gold went to England, with silver won by Scotland. “It was a great opportunity for me to compete in Scot-land,” Clay said. “It gave me a real insight as to what high level athletes are doing from other countries.” Although the Commonwealth games is one of Clay’s highest competitions, he has competed through-out B.C. and Canada, Japan several times, the United States, Europe, and was at the Junior Commonwealth games a few years ago in Great Britain. Canada finished third in the Games over-all behind England and Australia.

or offence together Saturday night, losing 49 - 33 to the Kamloops Broncos at Exhibition Stadium. The Huskers passing game gained them the most traction, with wide receiver Tyron Ledingham (second in the league with 300 receiving yards) catching the most yards of the game. But despite two rushing touchdowns for Chilliwack, it was an unbalanced ground game. Bronco Aaron Morran, league leader in rushing yards, scored two touchdowns and shared the majority of the Kamloops running game with teammate Jacob Palmarin.

Cougars drowned by river animalsIn minor baseball, Chilliwack saw defeat at the hands of two kinds of river animals in provincial tournaments over the weekend. After a successful sweep in their round robin, the 18U AAA Cougars were upset by the Kamloops RiverDogs in their semi-final game, 4-2. Tri-city took the tour-nament title with a win over Kamloops. The 13U peewee Cougars also won every game in their provincial round robin but fell short of the championship, losing 7-4 in a back-and-forth final with the Duncan RiverCats.

Summer Fun at your Chilliwack Chartwell Residences


into the mountains.The newlyweds had also invited

their flying club, the Pacific Pilots Fly-ing Group. So after finishing breakfast at the Airport Coffee Shop, pilots and passengers trickled onto the runway and one-by-one, three light aircraft followed the couple on their flight path north.

Melanie’s grandparents, aunt and uncle came to see their dear ones off that sunny morning, also enjoying a morning meal at the restaurant.

Later outside, they watched their pre-cious cargo disappear on the horizon.

A lofty honeymoon adventure had begun.

Flights of fancyFlying to Yellowknife had been an

idea of Joel’s for a couple of years.“I wondered if there were even

enough fuel stops along the way for a small, limited range vintage aircraft to get that far north,” he said.

It turns out there are, so he approached Melanie with the idea. Though her heart was originally set on flying to Disneyland, the couple decid-ed something in Canada would be bet-ter for their first long-range attempt.

In planning the gas stops to the North, Joel found that a major chal-

lenge for the little Piper’s limited range would be the final leg, which crosses Great Slave Lake.

It’s not just the size of the lake that’s a concern, but the unpredictable weath-er above it.

Better to stick to the road around it, flying above the cars, and meet a local pilot in Fort Providence with some fuel cans, he said.

And while they planned for many of the possible variables like weather, this year brought an unexpected factor on that last, northern stretch.

“The biggest concern right now is the wildfires, and their impact on the visibility along our route,” said Joel. “We may also run into some airspace closures while they are fighting the fires.”

But the couple was determined to make a trip out of it, regardless of weather and fire conditions. The new-lyweds have seen their share of air-time, and are both experienced flyers for being in their late-20s.

In fact, the two met in air cadets when they were in high school.

Joel started in gliders and took on powered craft a year later. While he’s booking mileage on his honeymoon, the engineering technologist will also be celebrating 10 years of piloting.

“The freedom and the spectacular view make the sky one of my favorite places to be,” he said. “It is constantly challenging, I am always learning, and there is always room for improve-ment.”

He’s also a flight instructor at King George Aviation. Currently his favour-ite student is his wife.

A discovery for her love of bagpipes side-tracked Melanie’s flying career in the air cadet days, so now the Que-bec-born animal shelter attendant is continuing where she left off.

“With Joel’s help and guidance I am well on my way to getting my ultralight pilot permit and then will be moving on to continue my private pilot license training and certification,” she says.

It will make their long distance trips easier when the duo can swap off on the controls more consistently.

Melanie said she’ll take some flying time on the way to Yellowknife, but for now Joel’s experience will be the hon-eymooners’ main guide if conditions turn rough.

Fire in the SkyLast week, the little yellow Piper

jumped from Chilliwack to a half-doz-en communities on its way to Dawson Creek. Turning into Alberta, the pair shed their companions as they went further north.

Near-perfect weather accompanied them until they reached Hay River, N.W.T., where they had to park while forest fires raged.

It was a commercial flight in a DC-3 that eventually took the pair into Yel-lowknife. And while they fell one stop short of their plan, Joel admitted over his coffee at Chilliwack airport that it might be nice to take a break from sitting in the pilot’s seat once they arrived.

When Joel and Melanie see the northern lights in Yellowknife’s short dark hours, they’ll enjoy them like most honeymoon couples who choose northern Canada—from the ground.

B.C. farm animals are one step closer to better protection.

The treatment of local animals has been a hot topic of the sum-mer after an undercover Mercy for Animals activist caught abuse on camera at a Chilliwack dairy farm.

This month, the federal govern-ment committed $2.2 million to improve the Codes of Practice that outline standards of living for farm animals in Canada.

The Canadian Federation of Humane Societies (CFHS) works to update and improve these Codes of Practice, recently helping to introduce the Pig Code, which

sets out more than 100 require-ments of pig care, to be phased in over the next decade.

With this new funding, the CFHS looks toward introducing similar Codes of Practice to the poultry sector, although many others are also in need of an update—including the Veal Code, which hasn’t seen an update since its introduction in 1998.

Although these Codes of Prac-tice help protect the lives and liv-ing conditions of farm animals, the BC SPCA also brings attention to the fact that B.C. doesn’t actu-ally tie these guidelines into the provincial Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, as five other provinc-es have.

“[The act] refers only to allow-ing ‘reasonable and generally accepted practices of animal management,’ leaving the courts to interpret this term broadly,” the BC SPCA notes. By directly referencing the Codes of Practice in the act, the BC SPCA states the government would clarify the definition of abuse—leading to better protection for animals and helping hold abusers account-able.

And while these changes to pro-vincial standards and the Codes of Practice aren’t in response to the high-profile expose, the SPCA says this particular case has at the very least brought farm animal abuse into the spotlight.

August 8, 9 and 10 at Chilliwack Heritage Park.

BY DESSA BAYROCK

[email protected]

“We’re pretty on target for what we expected,” Nicole

Hill says. Hill is the event co-ordinator

for the Chilliwack Fair, and in this case “on target” means more than 1,500 entries ready and waiting to jostle for blue ribbons in catego-ries spanning from photography to gardening, canning to multi-media.

“On target” means more than 1,000 animals—pigs, cows, llamas, and mini-horses, to name a few—

will soon be on their way to the big red barns on Luckakuck.

“On target” means lawnmow-er races, antique tractors, and a three-day rodeo.

“On target” means welcom-ing world-class Canadian band Trooper to a giant stage in a little less than a week.

The Chilliwack Fair opens this Friday, Aug. 8, and runs until the end of Sunday. It’s got a little bit of everything for everyone—even the parts that are coming together last minute.

“It’s been a huge learning curve,” Hill says with a laugh. “But

everything is going pretty smooth-ly.”

With one day to go before the fair opens its gates to the public, Hill is a hard woman to track down. After all, 10 months of work is coming together at once. Hill counts off everything coming to the red barns for the weekend and quickly runs out of fingers.

“We have magic shows, bel-ly-dancing, roller derby is back this year, square dancers, the Rep-tile Guy—Mike Hopcraft—who’s always very popular, and profes-

falls, food and funTradition continues with 142nd year

Picture the scene: you’re standing in Columbia Valley in the middle of

summer, surrounded by hazel-nut trees and the greenest grass you’ve ever seen. Gently weathered barns and fences stand in the distance, charm-ing and cozy. It’s brilliantly sunny and peaceful—one of the most quiet, secluded neighbourhoods in Chilliwack, tucked around the side of Cul-tus Lake past the beaches and popular hiking spots.

But on Saturday, Aug. 16, it will be anything but quiet.

This cozy, peaceful farm will soon be hustling and bustling with visitors from all over the valley as they mean-der between trees and tables, simultaneously enjoying the work of local artists, an a cappella group belting out contemporary classics in four-part harmony, and maybe even a fresh scone from a local bakery.

It’s all part of the 10th annual Art on the Farm—and according to organizer Mindy Chittenden, it might just be the best year for it yet.

The tradition has local roots and a simple mandate. Every year the Columbia Valley farm opens its gates and arms to a multitude of visitors with one goal: to spread the art and talent of the valley in a mean-ingful, creative way.

As Chittenden explains, the event has a funny—and excit-ing—way of growing into new shapes and surprises every year.

Blackberry picking? Check. Local theatre performers and musicians? Check. Bel-lydancince? Bagpipes? An attendee who brings an accor-dion and asks if he can play in the field for the afternoon? Check, check, check.

“We try to get as many local artists as we can, and we’ve got a pretty wide variety,” Chitten-den says. “It’s got a really nice vibe, is what people keep say-ing—it’s very chill, compared to a lot of other events. Come and stay as long as you want. We’re not rushing people out of the farm. You can bring a picnic if you want, you can

pick as many blackberries as you want.

“There’s no cellphone cover-age in the valley, which I think helps people relax,” she adds with a wry grin. “You can’t really focus on anything else except where you are, and you take your time and enjoy it.”

There will be artisans from all over the valley setting up displays of their wares, as well as interactive activities for all ages. A side of the horse barn will be transformed into a giant mural over the course of the day, with a little help from attendees and and artists alike. Other artisans will be doing demonstra-tions—throwing pottery and spinning wool. There’s even an unofficial petting zoo: goats and other small animals wandering around looking for attention.

It’s a labour of love put together by a small team of people—for the most part all hailing from the same family and group of friends.

Chittenden says she was first

inspired by a similar event on Pender Island called Art on the Fence, where local artists hung, strung, and stapled their art to fences and barns for public viewing.

“So we thought, let’s give it a go,” she says. “There are so many artists that need a venue, and especially a more casual and affordable venue to display their work.”

It’s grown and evolved over the years, from 20 artists to 40—a small sample expanding

into a larger showcase of local artists.

“I think we’re stable at about 40 artists now, and that’s about what we can handle,” she says with a smile. “We want to keep the event free, and we want to keep it community-oriented; we just keep trying to change it every single year to make it different.

“We’re always learning about new talent, every single year. People come out of the woodwork that I’ve never met

before, and I’ve made some really good friends.”

◗ Art on the Farm takes place at 1162 Iverson Rd. in the Columbia Valley on Aug. 16 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admis-sion is free, but organizers suggest bringing cash in case something on a vendor’s table catches your eye or you feel like having a bite to eat. For more information, visit www.arton-thefarm.ca or email [email protected].

Nigel Mack and the Blues Attack play Chilliwack Aug. 8.

Mack is backChicago bluesman explodes in the ‘Wack

Chilliwack might seem like a long way from Chica-

go, but with a little slide guitar and some soulful crooning, Nigel Mack & the Blues Attack prom-ise to transport the audi-ence to the heart of blues country.

A n d w i t h a s h o w scheduled for the Bozz-ini’s stage this Friday, Mack is set to bring a taste of the blues explo-sion to a Chi l l iwack crowd.

Mack says blues hit the western Canadian scene hard in the ‘80s, which helped push the band forward to new heights and their eventual reloca-tion to Chicago.

“Blues legends that we had only heard on records, we were sudden-ly hanging out and jam-ming with,” Mack says.

And while the band might now call another

country home, Canada isn’t the kind of place you just give up cold turkey—meaning Fraser Valley audiences will see at least

a little of the band every once in a while as they embark on Canadian tours.

With tickets for the

Aug. 8 show set at $14, it’s perfect to pair with dinner or dessert. Call to reserve tickets from Bozz-ini’s at 604-792-0744.

sional Lego guy Robin Sather,” Hill lists. “Agriculture, education, lots of local entertainers, artisans. We’ll have local performers with various talents—some dancing, some singing, some with instru-ments.”

There’s so much on tap at the fair this year that Hill sounds as though she could keep going for hours, describing enough content to stuff the barns—and then some.

Activities overflow outdoors, notably into a giant screen that will show the classic musical Grease on Saturday night. After a hiatus away from outdoor activ-ities, the fair is bringing back the always-popular games zone—boasting a multitude of inflatable activities. The star of the outdoor activity show, Hill says, is some-thing called “Euro Bungee Jump.”

“There are a bunch of bungee cables and the kids get launched into the air,” Hill says with a smile.

“Kids of all ages, I guess!” she adds. “And safely, of course!”

More than 150 volunteers will be on hand to help keep things running smoothly, Hill says. Without them—not to mention community support from all sides—the fair would be hooped.

“There are so many hands on deck helping,” Hill says. “Without them we definitely wouldn’t be able to operate as the kind of fair that we do.”

◗ It all comes together this week-end: the fair runs Aug. 8, 9, and 10, opening at 9 a.m. sharp and closing at 10 p.m. Friday and Sat-urday, and at 5 p.m. on Sunday.

Adult passes are $8, senior and youth passes $5, and children are free. Family passes are $30. Find more information at www.chilli-wackfair.com.
