serve as a barometer on the BCLiberal government before the 2013general election. But byelectionstend to garner low voter turnout.

In the high-profile Vancouver-Point Grey byelection last year inwhich Premier Christy Clark wonher seat in the Legislature, voterturnout was 39 per cent, downfrom 56 per cent for the 2009general election.

Mayor set to speakwith Kinder MorganBY PAUL J. HENDERSON

phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetzwill meet with the presidentof Kinder Morgan later this

month to talk about the company’s$5 billion oil pipeline twinning proj-ect announced last week.

The company plans to increasecapacity from 300,000 barrels per day(bpd) to 850,000 bpd for its 1,150-kilo-metre Trans Mountain pipeline sys-tem, which brings oil sands bitumenfrom Alberta to the Westridge Marineterminal in Burnaby.

The company plans an 18- to 24-month “inclusive, extensive and thor-ough engagement” with communitiesalong the route.

An application would then be filedwith the National Energy Board in2014 and construction would begin in2016.

Fraser Valley concern about thecompanies plan first sprouted after aJan. 24 leak of 110,000 litres of crudeoil from a holding tank at Kinder Mor-gan’s Sumas Mountain terminal site.

There was also a spill at the compa-ny’s Sumas Mountain facility in 2005and there have been two leaks, in 2007and 2009, in Burnaby.

“Communities are rightly concernedabout the safety aspect of [the pipe-line],” Gaetz said. “Everybody wantsto make sure they have clean waterand no environmental damage if thereshould ever be an accident.”

Gaetz said Kinder Morgan’s presi-dent Ian Anderson scheduled a meet-ing after it was reported the city knewnothing about the proposal.

The mayor also wonders how thecompany proposes to twin the pipe-

line where it runs across the VedderRiver and under the city’s diking infra-structure.

Through Chilliwack, the pipelineruns under farmers’ fields, suburbanlawns, Watson elementary and Kin-kora Golf Course.

Gaetz said the city receives$624,800.17 a year in taxes fromKinder Morgan.

A growing group of locals opposedto the pipeline project held an infor-mation meeting in Abbotsford lastWednesday.

Chilliwack resident Sheila Muxlowwho organized the meeting inviteda representative to attend. A com-pany spokesperson responded in anemail dated April 5 that they wouldbe unable to attend and that: “Weare still in the early stages of the pro-posed project and anticipate makingan announcement later this spring.”

The company announced its plansin a press release April 12.

The project also came up at theChilliwack-Hope byelection all-can-didates meeting held last Thursday.

Liberal candidate Laurie Thron-ess said he relied upon the environ-mental review process, and since thepipeline has run through Chilliwacksince 1953 with no local incidents, itcould be done safely.

Conservative candidate John Mar-tin said with the history of commu-nity mobilization to such things asSE2, the topic will likely dominatefor years to come.

“I think we have a hell of a fight onour hands,” he said.

NDP candidate Gwen O’Mahonysaid First Nations communitieshad lost faith in the environmentalreview process.

AGood Samaritan hasreunited a Chilliwackcouple with two hand-

carved native masks and aprized plaque stolen from aRyder Lake home in February.

In February, thieves brokeinto the home of Peter Tallioand Bea Silver and made offwith masks and jewelry wortha combined $25,000. Amongthe items stolen were sev-eral masks given to Silver byher adopted family in Tallio’sNuxalk First Nation. Thosemasks were designed to beworn during dances and car-ried immense sentimentalvalue, Silver told theTimes lastmonth. A large hand-carvedcircular plaque that served asthe logo for the couple’s busi-ness was also stolen.

“That one is very dear tous,” Tallio told the Times in

March. “That has a bit of ourown story in it . . . our lives areencrypted into it.”

Mounties say the masksand the plaque ended up atan Abbotsford flea market lastmonth, where they were pur-chased for $600.

The theft of the masks wasreported by the media in lateMarch. On April 12, the manwho purchased the masksand plaque in Abbotsfordturned them in to the Chilli-wack RCMP detachment.Two of the three maskswere the same ones shownin photos released to themedia. They included Silver’smost cherished mask, whichdepicted a blue killer whaleand had been given to her at

a potlatch.“The owners were very, very

thankful and very emotionalthat someone would turnthose in,” said RCMP spokes-person Cpl. Tammy Holling-sworth. “These masks havesuchspiritualandsentimentalvalue. The man who turned inthese masks obviously appre-ciated them and paid severalhundreds of dollars for them,but he knew they were ofvalue to someone else whoalso appreciated them andwanted them returned to therightful owner.”◗ Many items stolen have notyet been located. Anyonewith information is asked tocall Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611.

Five years ago this month, sandbagswere a hot commodity in Chilliwackas there was fear that a higher than

normal snowpack might lead to Fraser Riverflooding.

This year the snowpack isagain high throughout theprovince, and is at 131 percent of normal in the FraserRiver basin.

That is the fifth highestApril 1 snowpack observedsince 1953, and similar tothe 2007 levels, according tothe provincial government’sRiver Forecast Centre.

“We are concerned,”Mayor Sharon Gaetz saidof the snowpack levels.“We are at the mercy of theweather.”

A f t e r m a n y p u b l i c m e e t i n g s a n dstockpiling of sandbags in 2007, MotherNature co-operated and the huge volumes ofsnow in the basin that feeds the Fraser River

melted slowly.“We were very fortunate in 2007 to have

good weather,” Gaetz said, adding that shewants to use the current situation as anopportunity to bring up the issue of dikefunding with the province.

“This is a really good opportunity to lookat the province, to look at the way they

fund dikes,” she said. “Itis our only protection ofa billion dollars worth ofinfrastructure. That’s justinfrastructure, not humanlife and livestock.”

At Tuesday’s meeting,city council was scheduledto hear a report from staffon what is being doneto prepare for the 2012freshet.

such a lot of hype about it,” she said. “Itscared the seniors, a couple of them evensold their homes downtown.”

Too much snow

followed the suspect until he dropped thepurse and left the area,” said Sgt. SteveMcLeod. “The elderly female was not injuredand was able to have her purse and its con-tents returned to her.”

“Every time I’m holdingsomething in my handand I’m about to throw it

away, I always wonder, ‘Where’s itgoing to go? When I throw this away,where’s it going to go?’”

When Kristina Daneluz askedherself those questions in theVedder middle staffroom, theFrench Immersion teacher didn’tlike the answer.

She could recycle cardboardand paper at school, but therewas no place for her lunch wasteexcept the garbage. So she tuckedher recyclables in her purse andbrought them home for curbsiderecycling.

Judging from her kids’ experiencesat school, the situation hasn’timproved since Daneluz went offon maternity leaves in 2005.

“It seems like the schools are onlyable to recycle cardboard and paper,and then everything else goes in thegarbage,” she said.

Her concerns prompted her towrite a letter to the school board inMarch.

Since the school district’s contractwith its current waste hauler,SuperSave, expires June 30, Daneluzurged the board to pick a haulerbetter equipped to collect and

dispose of recyclable material.She reiterated that request at a

board meeting last Tuesday.“I was hoping that this would be

an opportunity to evaluate what thecurrent waste hauler has been doingfor our district, if they’re meetingthe needs of the district and if not,during the bidding process that weplease consider hiring a companythat will meet the recycling needs of

the district.”D a n e l u z n o t e d t h a t a 2 0 1 0

citywide waste audit found theschool district underperforming.

At that time it was in the middleof a contract with SuperSave andcouldn’t do much to remedy thesituation. But with that contractexpiring in June, Daneluz would liketo see the board take action.

“This is a behaviour I hope we can

change in schools, and I think theschool district needs to try to leadon that and set some standards,”she said.

She would like to see a system atschools similar to that offered bythe city, with one bin for garbageand one for recyclables.

“In order to change the behaviourwe need to make it really simple,”she said.

The Vedder MountainTrails Association (VMTA)

hopes to build a brand-newmulti-use trail Sunday withthe help of volunteers.

For the last 11 years, theVMTA has held an annualspring cleaning event of sortsby cleaning up a year’s worthof accumulated trash andmaking sure the trails are intip-top shape for the comingyear.

Organizers hope to use thisyear’s event to not only cleanup the trails, but to build awhole new government-approved non-motorized trailonVedder Mountain.

“If we get enough people tohelp out, we believe that wewill be able to create a brandnew trail by the end of theday,” said VMTA presidentMark Steinebach.“This wouldbe exciting.”

“So w h i l e we w i l l b eshowing some love for theestablished trails by clearingaway the accumulated trashas we do every year, we willbe creating something new toadd to the recreational flavourof the area.”

This year’s event takes placeApril 22 beginning at 10 a.m.Volunteers will meet at themountain bike parking areaon Parmenter Road. They’reasked to bring work gloves,tools, and $10 for a half-priceVMTA supporter sticker. An“awesome” free lunch, drinksand “good vibes” will beprovided.

A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO THE ORGANIZING COMMITTEEOF THE 2012 GRAD DINNER AUCTION

There’s an urban legend,spread by the internet and anold TheWestWing episode,

with a moral about simplicity ver-sus complexity.

Supposedly, in the 1960s NASArealized that they didn’t have a penthat could write in zero gravity.So millions were spent to designa space pen for the Apollo astro-nauts.

The Soviets used pencils.Sadly, the real story is almost

exactly the reverse.Early Mercury astronauts did use

pencils in orbit, as did the Russiancosmonauts. But bits of graphitebroke off and floated around theconfines of a cabin, and the graph-ite and pencils could burn—aserious concern after the deaths ofthree men in the Apollo 1 fire.

So an independently developedpen was purchased, for $2.39 perpen. Pricey, by 1960s standards, butnot that bad.

And the Soviets? They signed acontract with the same Americancompany a year later, and got thesame bulk discount that NASA did.

The real story is far more fasci-nating, because it forces us to thinkabout the complexities of a seem-ingly simple issue. I would nothave imagined that a pencil couldbe a hazard on a space capsule, butif a speck of graphite shorted out acritical system, it could be lethal.

So score one for complexity andtechnological superiority.

Even the stories where cheap

and simple really did beat hightech and expensive turn out to becomplicated.

To return to the Russians, (mas-ters of the brutally simple mecha-nism) they created a relativelybrutish machine that confoundedtheir enemies: the T-34 tank.

The T-34 was created just beforeNazi Germany foolishly decidedto invade Russia. Hitler, who lovedhigh-powered tanks, supportedprojects like the Tiger and Panther,powerful tanks that could blowapart just about anything else onthe battlefield.

If they weren’t broken down,that is.

With their water-cooled enginesand thousands of moving parts,the Tigers had a tendency to spenda lot of time under repair. TheT-34s, on the other hand, were rug-ged and simple, designed so that ahalf-literate collective farm workercould figure out how to drive andrepair one. Even more importantly,they were cheap to build. TheSoviets followed the same credo asmodern spam emailers: send a fewthousand, some of them will getthrough.

But . . . in the early years of thewar, German tanks killed a lot ofRussian tanks. The Russian crewswere badly trained. They had noradios. Stalin had spent a decadepurging the Red Army, and asa side effect almost everyonein Russia who understood tankwarfare had been shot, or starvedto death in Siberia. The Russianshad a steep learning curve beforetheir cheap, reliable tanks wereactually useful.

We face these questions aboutcomplexity, simplicity, and cost ona constant basis today, so there arelessons to be learned from both thespace pen and the T-34.

If you’re designing a public trans-portation system, do you want itto be high tech and appealing todrivers? Then you want a light railor SkyTrain system. But what if youwant to change the system’s capac-ity rapidly, and build on the cheap?Then you want more buses.Whatabout the F-35 fighter jets, versusunmanned drones? Build a wider,tolled highway bridge, or subsidizehigh-speed internet so people canwork from home.

Of course, each choice has itsown problems and quirks that can’tbe found in the up front costs.

The simple alternative isn’talways simpler, the best isn’t alwaysbetter, and the most expensiveoption might save in the long run.

Terry’slegacy stillinspiresI

t has been 32 years since Terry Foxdipped one foot in the Atlantic Oceanand turned to run west across Canadaon the Marathon of Hope.

If he were alive today, Fox would be inhis 50s. It’s hard to picture a middle-agedTerry Fox. His face is imprinted on theconsciousness of Canadians as that of aperpetually young man. Sometimes hisface was twisted in pain, as he ran a mara-thon every day on one leg. Sometimes hescowled with anger—his frustration andstubborn will were part of what drove himon day after day.

But always we remember him as beingvery, very young. Terry Fox died on June28, 1981, aged just 22.

Virtually every Canadian knows this sto-ry. After forcing himself to keep runningthrough pain, snow, rain, and in the earlygoing, indifference, Terry made it halfwayacross the country. By the time he reachedOntario, he was a national celebrity.

Money was pouring in at last in supportof cancer research. But Terry was coughingfrom a pain that had nothing to do withhis sore leg or the stump on which he’dhop-skipped 5,373 kilometres. The cancerwas back.

This year we’ll celebrate Fox’s legacy inSeptember at the annual Terry Fox runsheld in virtually every community inCanada, and in hundreds of other placesaround the world.

We’ll also remember him, and thou-sands of others who died before theirtime, at the Chilliwack Relay for Life, orduring the Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley’sjourney. We remember them this month asthe Canadian Cancer Society encouragesus to wear daffodil pins and contribute tothe cause.

The message of Terry Fox’s journey is notthat everyone has to do something incred-ible. He asked the impossible of himself,but his goal demanded little of others.Terry’s goal was to get every Canadianto donate $1 towards cancer research. Asmall thing, like a single step. Add thosesmall things together, and they add up togreat journey.

Stop free market robotsEditor:

Does Chuck Strahl reallythink that equating the BCLiberals with the federalConservatives is a helpfulendorsement?

His proud confirmationthat the BC Liberals are justas free enterprise as themost right-wing govern-ment this country has everendured only serves todeepen my conviction thatwe need all voters to turnout to stop these short sight-ed free-market robots fromdevastating our environ-ment and stealing the futurefrom generations to come.

Suzy CoulterChilliwack River Valley

Scare tacticswon’t workEditor:

I couldn’t help but chuck-le at the full page ad ChuckStrahl had in the Times. Allthe parties running are freeenterprise parties, so let’s getthat out of the way.

Then to say that the B.C.Liberals made mistakes is anunderstatment in my opin-ion. Perhaps they shouldhave changed their namewhen the subject came upearlier: Perhaps Conservativewould have fit them better orSocial Credit.

Scare tactics come intoplay when it appears that“the jig is up” and W.A.C.Bennett used them when helost to the NDP just as Chuckis using fear tactics now.“The Socialist Hordes Are AtThe Gates” ads didn’t helpone bit. I voted Social Creditat the time knowing that “thejig was up” because the fearfactor does not work.

For Chuck to say that JohnCummins is not a Conseva-tive is like like saying that thePope is not Catholic. And tosay the Conservatives are notinterested in free enterpriseis simply not true. I have noproblem with a Conservativevoting NDP but for a Con-sevative saying that they arevoting Liberal makes mewonder big time.

Joseph MrakYarrow

Better checkyour tax returnEditor:

Re: Gary Raddysh’s letter inthe April 12 Times.

Who does your tax return?Donations to political partiesget tax credits not tax deduc-tions. Maybe you couldcheck with a math teacher tofind out the difference.

The greatest percentage ofcredit is to those who donatethe least not the most. It isline 64 on your tax form.

You should have attendedthe debate organized by theChilliwack Teachers Associa-

tion to get your questionsanswered. But you wouldhave had to endure longspeeches from the audience,the moderator let peopleramble on at great lengthand there was not much timefor questions or answers.

Howie BurkeChilliwack

Quotas a bigissue for farmsEditor:

I was surprised to read intheTimes that John Martin is“uncomfortable” with quotas.

His lukewarm or perhapsnon-support of supply man-agement makes one wonderif this university professorneeds a little more time onthe farm to understand itscritical importance to theFraser Valley. This is a veryimportant issue in this bye-lection for those of us whocare about the family farm.

Walter DyckChilliwack

Why abandonthe coalition?Editor:

Federal Conservativesand conservatively-orientedfederal Liberals have a longand very successful tradi-tion of coalition governinghere in B.C. This coalitionapproach built our provinceand made it what it was. AndB.C. has always proven to bean economic winner underthis coalition approach, evenduring the global economicturmoil seen in recent years.

Why, then, would anyonewant to abandon such a suc-cessful coalition model byvoting for the coalition-bust-ing B.C. Conservative partyled by John Cummins (who,by the way, voted NDP in thelast provincial election)?

It should be obvious thatanyone who votes for JohnCummins and his faux-con-servative party risks plung-ing the provincial economyinto last place again underan NDP government. Let’srespect free enterprise solu-tions by voting for the onlyviable free enterprise solu-tion, the BC Liberals.

Alex McAulayChilliwack

Just eliminatethe tax receiptEditor:

All we have to do to elimi-nate political corruption inCanada is eliminate the taxreceipt for political partycontributions.

Michael HodgeChilliwack

RememberParkholm fightEditor:

This is my note of thanks toGwen O’Mahony for takingthe time to come to our Mon-day meeting of the AlzheimerCaregiver Support Group.

She sat quietly and lis-tened then asked questions.Although she is the first politi-cian to take any interest inour group she brought up noagenda. I did mention to herthough that I thought beforethe Liberals came to officethat the NDP were on theright track.

As soon as a diagnosis wasmade of a senior person witha mental or physical disabilitythey were put on a list. Thecaregiver could then feel likethere was a light at the endof the tunnel. The caregivercould immediately get helpto keep their loved one athome as long as possiblewith the knowledge when thetime came there would be atransition for their loved oneswithout the trauma of todaywith ambulances, emergencywards and warehousing. Ialso explained to her aboutour rallies 11 years ago andthe 10,000 signatures to keepour newly renovated long-term care facility, ParkholmLodge, open. Unfortunately,for the 86 resident seniorswho survived the wars anddepression to make B.C. abetter place, our oppositionto the closure fell on the deafears of the Liberals, includingour then-mayor, John Les.They quickly closed the facil-ity forcing our most vulner-able senior citizens into theHospital Extended Care Unitand other long-term carefacilities in and outside theChilliwack area where over-crowding suddenly became aproblem.

NewsBY TYLER OLSENtolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

Chilliwack city council willbe asked Tuesday to turf a$628,000 dirt playing field

slated for construction next yearafter user groups expressed doubtabout the sand-like surface.

City staff has recommended thatcouncil abort plans for the not-yet-started “gyro” field at Townsend Parkand instead install a new turf field in2013 at the same location.

“It’s exciting. I hope council seesit as a positive,” said Chilliwack FCchair Andrea Laycock about the

prospects of a new turf field, whichwould complement the installationof turf at Chilliwack secondaryschool next year. “The possibilitiesfor programming suddenly becomeendless.”

Last December council approvedplans to construct a new lit, gyrofield and ball diamonds at TownsendPark. A gyro field is comprised ofthe same sort of crushed, sand-like material found in the infield ofbaseball diamonds.

Less than a month ago, ChilliwackMLA John Les appeared atTownsendPark to pledge $250,000 of provincialmoney towards the project.

But while it would have beenusable when other grass fields wereclosed, those who would be usingthe field were less than enthusiasticabout its surface.

“Unfortunately, the surface is not afavourite for the user groups becauseit is hard wearing on both the playersand the equipment,” city general

manager Cris Crosman wrote in astaff report to council.

Laycock told the Times that “thegyro is a nice option but it’s not acompletely viable or usable option.”

By contrast, a turf field could beused in all but the very worst ofweather.

According to the staff report:“The multi-sport turf surface wouldprovide superior drainage and year-round availability which wouldpermit the amount of annual usable

hours to increase from 160 hours/year on grass to 1,900 prime timehours/year on turf.”

The report also notes that thesupply of fields will shrink this fallwith the closure of lit sports field atthe old CFB site. That field is slatedfor RCMP development.

To finance the added cost ofa turf field, the city will use themoney allocated for the gyro field,including the $250,000 pledged bythe province. A third turf field hadoriginally been planned for 2016 andCrosman wrote that “by advancingthe usage of capital reserves, theproject is fundable in 2013.”

who was asked to defend his party’s policies.He c k l i n g , a p p l a u s e a n d l a u g h t e r

were common as candidates Throness,Conser vat ive John Mar tin and NewDeemocrat Gwen O’Mahony at timesangered, amused and provoked the crowd.

Libertarian candidate Lewis Dahlby wasnot in attendance.

The meeting was organized by theChilliwack Teachers Association (CTA) andwas moderated by CTA president KatharinMidzain.

Throness began by talking about whathe has heard knocking on doors about thedispute with teachers. He said “by far” whathe has heard the most is taxpayers unhappywith higher taxes.

“Make no mistake,” Throness said.“I’m not here applying to be part of theunion, I’m here applying to be part ofmanagement.”

Martin began by suggesting the provincewas at “a historic crossroads,” and thatthere is big change in the wind.

“We have a government in freefall,”Martin said. “Clearly this government is onthe wane. . . . Really there is not much moreon their agenda than survival.”

O’Mahony said that her opponents aregood at fingerpointing and making excuses,but she wants to take the “high road,” andfocus on solutions.

On Bill 22Midzain talked about Bill 22, suggesting

its name, the Education Improvement Act,was “misnamed at best.”The CTA president askedt h e c a n d i d a t e s w h a tneeded changing in thebill.

Throness said nothingabout Bill 22 needed to bechanged, and that giventhe government signednet-zero contracts withdozens of other unions,which include “me-too” clauses, theteachers could not be given anything morewithout costing the government billions ofdollars.

Martin said while he sees the BC Teachers’Federation as extremely difficult to deal withfor any government, the BC Liberals tearingup of contracts was unconscionable.

O’Mahony said Bill 22 shouldn’t haveexisted in the first place, and she questionedhow Martin could “insult the union” whiletalking about fair negotiation.

On vote-splittingThroness suggested an NDP win was “the

danger of the split” of small ‘c’ conservativevotes in the riding.

Martin asked if the Liberals end upfinishing behind the Conservatives on April19, would Throness admit his party was the

one splitting votes.O’Mahony said the NDP won’t respond

to negative attacks, and said that her partyhadn’t created any attack adverstisements.

On a kidney dialysis unit in ChilliwackMartin said it was an economic situation

and there wasn’t enough population.Throness said there is a full dialysis unit

in Abbotsford and, before that was put inplace, patients had to go all the way to NewWestminster.

O’Mahony said there is a need to expandkidney dialysis so “why not Chilliwack?”

On supply management for agricultureO’Mahony said it “suits our needs very

well.”Throness said: “There is one farm in

Chicago that produces enough chickens forall of Canada.” He said supply managementwas needed to protect Fraser Valley farmers.

Martin said he was reluctant to speakon federal matters but said he was“uncomfortable” with quotas.

AHarrison Hot Springs firefighterdisqualified from village council afterthe fall municipal election by the BC

Supreme Court is having his candidacy forthe subsequent byelectionquestioned because he hasstill not stepped down fromthe fire department.

Richard Shelley won thefourth and final seat on villagecouncil in the Nov. 19, 2011vote. His win was contested byfifth-place candidate AndrewBaziuk, who argued thatbecause Shelley was a paid on-call firefighter,he was a municipal employee.

A judge agreed, and in February ordereda byelection, for which nine candidatessubsequently put their names forward.

Shelley was one of those candidates. He filedpapers in which he signed a declaration sayingthat he would take no pay as a firefighter.

“I hereby confirm that I am volunteering myservices to the Village of Harrison Hot Springs

Fire Department and direct that I do not wish,nor will I accept, remuneration as a fire fighterfor theVillage of Harrison Hot Springs,” Shelley’sMarch 9 statement says.

But at least three other candidates don’t thinkthat’s good enough.

“He wants his cake and he wants to eat it too,”Marc Ferrero told theTimes.

Another candidate, Leslie Ghezesan, hasalready filed a petition against Shelley’scandidacy and a hearing was set for Tuesdaymorning at 9:30 a.m.

Former mayor and byelection candidateJohn Allen said Shelley’s declaration does notmeet the requirements of the legislation, and heasked the village’s chief election officer, JaniceFulton, to disqualify Shelley.

“He has already cost thetaxpayers about $40,000 inlegal fees plus this $20,000byelection,” Allen said viaemail. “This was all an illegalexpenditure of public fundson a political campaign.Shelley’s lawbreaking shouldhave been prosecutedby Harrison Village, not

defended by them.”Shelley could not be reached for comment

before going to press.

CorrectionIn the April 12 story about the Harrison

Hot Springs byelection one candidate’s namewas left off the list of nine running for theseat on council. Former mayor John Allen isalso in the race.

“We focus on the actual dollarsand cents,” said Don MacDonald,founding director, past-presidentand director of marketing for theshow.

“People are looking for a deal,and this is the sort of event thatnot only promises a deal butdelivers it in a big way.”

Joan Jackson, the show’s direc-tor and the executive director ofthe Recreation Vehicle DealersAssociation of B.C. “You can find

something in everybody’s pricerange.”

RV enthusiasts at the show canalso take in informative seminars,

including a presentation by RVWest Magazine’s Duane Pilson,who will speak twice a day ontraveling to Yukon and Alaska for

Special to the Times

Tucked away behindmature cedars off ofFirst Avenue, this home

is an absolute treasure. HarryHerbert Gervan had it built in1910 (he also played a lead-ing role in the establishmentof the half-mile track at theFairgrounds).

It was sold for $3,000 toRobert J. Banford, who wasin the brick business, in 1919.Ever since then, an artist hasoccupied the home. It hasfour levels and an extensivegarden with original growthfrom the early 1900s.

In 1956 Dr. Albert Phelpsbought the home and wasthe very first specialist gen-eral surgeon in Chilliwack.Linda Phelps, who was wid-owed in 2007 by Dr. Phelps,has lived there since 1975and has done a most spectac-ular job of keeping the homein the period theme.

I was lucky enough to geta tour, which Linda says shedoes quite often. From itsoriginal working Gurney fur-nace in the basement rightup to the attic, which con-tains a lovely bedroom witha bird’s eye view of the city,everything in between hasbeen a meticulous work ofart that Linda says has taken35 years.

During a renovation tomove the fireplace, the con-tractor found a brick thatRobert Banford had inscribedwith his name.

While hosting big Christ-mas dinners, guests wouldspill out of the formal livingroom into the dining roomand would find a place onthe floor just to be a part ofthis whimsical family home.Their friend Dr. Rogers wouldplay the piano and his wifeand Linda would play theflute. Guests would have tosing for their supper! Lindasays it has that “Dickenso-nian” feel.

There is warmth in thishome that is so calming andevery single room has beenredone to match the timeperiod with exceptionaldetail. There are a lot of sto-

ries that you can feel justbeing inside. The art on thewall, the special pieces onthe Indonesian hutch withmatching gong at the frontdoor among many others,all have their own story.Many other pieces of art areby Linda Phelps herself, anestablished artist of porce-lain, watercolours and oilpaintings. The home is filledwith memories. It is a specialplace and Linda has spenther life making it her dreamhome.

Linda told me that herhusband said to her shortlybefore he passed away that“You know, I really just lovethis house, and I feel so luckyto have it.” He was a well-loved man. Dr. Phelps was aRotarian and he and his wifetook in 14 to 15 exchange stu-dents over the years.

Today Linda keeps in touchwith some of the descen-dants of the Banford family,offering a weekend getawayat her home to help keep theconnection.

BY GARY KINGSTONVancouver Sun

Whitewater kayaker David Ford’s gutsyattempt to compete in a sixth con-secutive Olympics ended Friday

when Michael Tayler, an upstart 20-year-oldfrom Ottawa, claimed Canada’s lone berth inLondon.

Ford, the long-time Chilliwack resident whojust turned 45, was tied for the lead afterThurs-day’s opening two runs of the Olympic teamtrials in Charlotte, N.C., despite paddling witha muscle tear in his left elbow. But he struggledin the final two runs Friday.

“It’s disappointing,” Ford, who was fourthat Athens in 2004 and sixth in Beijing in 2008,said in an interview from Charlotte. “I workedhard the last four years and I was seeing someimprovement in the direction I wanted to goin. But when you can’t turn left, you’re onlydoing half the sport.”

The injury occured in Australia a couple ofmonths ago.

“Here, it became unmanageable. We triedplasma injection, drugs . . . it’s just one of thosethings.”

Besides Ford, who finished fourth, Tayleralso beat out two other national team veter-ans, John Hastings of Auora, Ont., and PaulManning-Hunter of Edmonton, both 28, forthe Olympic spot.

“I’m absolutely shocked,” said Tayler. “It was

a great [fourth] run and it was enough to do it.”The selection was based on an athlete’s best

three of four runs. Tayler and Hastings tied onpoints, but the youngster was awarded topspot by being .11 seconds faster than Hastingson the final run.

“All the guys threw down today, which iswhat you want to see from the program,”said Ford.

“Mike is young so it’s going to be a toughOlympics for him this time, but maybe he’llgo and start a new legacy.”

Ironically, it was Ford who actually earnedCanada its Olympic spot by winning thePan American championships in Brazil lastmonth, beating out two Brazilians and fin-ishing ahead of both Hastings and Manning-Hunter.

Tayler didn’t compete in Brazil, choosinginstead to spend extra time training in Char-lotte.

“We knew he was coming,” Ford saidof Tayler’s rise through the program. “Butnobody expected him, on this whitewater,to be ready, although there was not a lot ofpressure on him. But he didn’t fall into thespot because the rest of us didn’t race well.He earned it.”

Ford is likely headed for retirement.Chilliwack’s Jazmyne Denhollander also

took part in the trials. She was named toCanoeKayak Canada’s Senior B team and toits U23 team.

Junior hockey players, scouts,coaches and officials will takeover Chilliwack in early Septem-

ber for the inaugural British Colum-bia Hockey League Showcase event,league officials announcedThursdayat Prospera Centre.

The event will kick off the BCHL’sregular season, with all 16 teamsplaying two games each in Chilli-wack.

Organizers expect in excess of 100scouts to take in the games, whichwill count towards the standings andbe played over three days at bothProspera Centre rinks.

Chilliwack Chiefs president GlenRingdal says that by hosting theevent, the owners of the club arepledging their allegiance to theBCHL.

“We want to make a statementvery strongly that this is a BCHLtown,” said Ringdal. “I think it’sreally important that the fans here

know that this is a BCHL city and wewant to bring them the best possibleentertainment.”

Hosting the event will not becheap, but Ringdal is hopeful thatthe club can bring in enough moneyto pay the expenses of the 15 otherclubs who will be forfeiting a homegame.

“This is a new event,” he said. “Itneeded a leader.”

BCHL commissioner John Gris-dale said Chilliwack was the ideallocation for the first showcase.

“We couldn’t have it for a betterlocation,” he told the Times. Gris-dale noted there was some concernamong franchises about the cost ofsuch an event. But he believes thatChilliwack will be able to demon-strate that the benefits—and rev-

enue—will outweigh the up-frontcost.

“I believe Chilliwack will make itsuccessful, and if it does so, it willgive everyone a chance to look for-ward to this as a great way to kick offthe season.”

Grisdale said the event will givethe BCHL a chance to bring officials,coaches, players and league person-nel together in what will amount to aconference of sorts—albeit one withmore physical contact than mostsuch get-togethers. The league willbe able to speak to the players as agroup and educate them about on-and off-ice issues.

The showcase will also allow play-ers on less accessible teams—likethose based in Trail or Prince Georgeor Merritt—to attract the attention

of scouts.And because the event will be held

in early September, before mostother leagues have begun their sea-son, Grisdale says the event will reapthe maximum media and scoutingexposure possible.

“That will give our players a bet-ter chance to earn a scholarship,” hesaid.

Local economy should benefit

The event should also have a posi-tive effect on the Chilliwack econo-my. More than 300 players will stayin local hotel rooms and eat in thecity’s restaurants during the show-case. Add in the various scouts, offi-cials, league personnel and fans, andthe impact will be considerable, saidMayor Sharon Gaetz.

Beyond that, Gaetz predicts thatthe prevalence of scouts will result infine hockey, with players skating toimpress.

“The fact that there will be morethan 100 scouts here will mean theplayers will bring their game,” shesaid. “We built this facility to haveit used and I’m really glad that GlenRindal and his team are workinghard to make that happen.”

Both sheets will be used

A total of 16 games will be playedon both Prospera Centre rinksbetween Sept. 7 and 9. Ringdal saidboth weekend and game passeswill be available for fans to pur-chase. Chiefs season ticket holderswill be able to buy discounted tick-ets—which will allow fans to take ingames at both surfaces.

While the Chiefs games will inevi-tably be the most popular, Ringdalhopes fans of other teams—andfamily members of the players—will boost attendance at games notinvolving the Chiefs.

FUSIONCOOKING

$9.99LUNCH DEAL

With its chic décor and elegant presentation, the first thing aboutKuro Asian Cuisine that might surprise you is the price, according toowner-manager Jin Kim.

The food at the Asian-fusion restaurant, which opened its doors inEagle Landing eight months ago, may look and taste like fine dining,but the price and atmosphere are both casual, he said.

What really sets Kuro apart from other restaurants in town, though, isits unique concept.

Asian-fusion blends the exotic flavours of the East with the taste ofthe West, taking Western comfort foods, like burgers, sandwiches andburritos, and serving them with an Asian twist.

At lunchtime, for example, Kuro offers fresh new dishes like tunatataki burritos and a kimchi-galbi sandwich that combines kimchi witha traditional Korean marinated beef.

As the son of Petra Kim, owner of award-winning Hana Sushi on Luck-akuck Way, Kim is no stranger to the Western appetite for Asian cuisine.

And Asian-fusion is the direction that appetite is going, he says.

“We are trying to be a little bit ahead of the game, I guess you couldsay,” he said.

The trend is gaining popularity around the world, and he says he

saw the same thing happen withsushi years ago.

“I grew up watching the changein the sushi market,” he said.“Thesame friends that made fun of mein high school for eating sushi,they cannot get enough sushiright now.”

Since Asian-fusion can incor-porate the culinary traditionsof countries as diverse as Japan,Korea, China,Thailand, Malaysiaand India, the concept is full ofpossibilities.

But branching out doesn’t meanthe new restaurant has left behind the philosophy that has made HanaSushi a Chilliwack favourite for years.

One thing the two restaurants will always share is a commitment tothe freshest ingredients served with the most exquisite presentation.

“We believe that you eat with your eyes as well as your mouth,” saidKim.

East Meets West at Kuro Asian Cuisine

BY TYLER OLSENtolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

Teeth are amazingly durable, when you thinkabout it.

Every day, we use them to gnash our waythrough hard and soft food.They collide withutensils and glasses, they tear at packages andthey grind against one another in our sleep.

And yet despite all the abuse we heap on ourteeth, they endure for decades, especially withproper dental care and maintenance.

Even so, many people must eventually copewith the loss of their teeth.

Fortunately, dentures have come a long, longway since 700 B.C., when Etruscans living inwhat is now northern Italy made false teeth bybinding teeth from animals or another person togold bands.

Today’s dentures are made after precise mea-surements of the face, jaw and oral cavity.Theyare custom-made to snugly fit to a patient’smouth and can restore both the ability to chewthrough tough food and give patients’ theirsmiles back.

Still, denturist Manigeh Ghorbanali, with Accu-rate Denture Clinic, says people should take careof their natural teeth while they have them.

No denture, she notes, will perfectly replacea person’s natural teeth. And getting a denturecan be irritating and less than fun.

That said, once a denture becomes necessary,patients should not wait.

Delaying, Ghorbanali said, will only createfurther problems. Losing your lower back teeth,for example, and failing to get a denture couldaffect the mouth’s temporal mandibular joint,which co-ordinates your upper and lower jaws’function.

And just as you should care for your teeth,while you have them, proper care of dentures isimportant.

“They are built for your maxifacial structure,”says Ghobanali.“If you destroy them so theywon’t fit properly, the damage is more than thebenefit.”

Dentures should be stored in water in a safeplace.They should also be replaced every fiveyears, she added.

“The teeth wear down,like the tires in your car,and they need to properly function.If the teethwear down the [temporal mandibular joint] drops.”

Dentures can also be relined, in order to keepthem fitting well as the mouth changes overtime.

And, just like for natural teeth, regular clean-ing is important.

“Just like everybody takes a shower everydayto clean their bodies, you also have to clean yourdenture,”she said. Improper care of a denturecan make it uncomfortable to wear, which itselfcan lead to more problems down the road.

Maintaining dental healthMaintaining dental health

still important for seniorsstill important for seniors

Dental health care is agrowing need amongB.C.’s aging popula-

tion to prevent pain, infection,tooth loss and negative effectson general health and qualityof life.

Older adults are increasinglyreliant on others to maintainhealthy mouths. Declining dex-terity, eyesight and cognitiveabilities along with an increasein medications or food anddrinks that contain sugar, resultin seniors being more suscep-tible to dental health issues,which can progress rapidlywithout proper care.

“Preventive dental healthcare is particularly importantamong the senior populationdue to the growing range andcomplexity of health issuesthat seniors face,”says Dr. HankKlein, president of the BritishColumbia Dental Association(BCDA). “Unfortunately, manyfrail elders are not able to carefor their mouths properly.Family members and care pro-viders have an important roleto play in daily mouth care.Dentists and their staff havean important role to play indisease prevention, throughregular examinations todiagnose problems early andprofessional cleanings. All ofthese elements result in betterhealth outcomes for seniors.”

The BCDA offers the follow-ing tips for seniors’caregivers:

Brush teeth daily: Brushnatural teeth at least twice aday, preferably after breakfastand especially before bed orlong naps. Electric or adaptedtoothbrushes can help seniorswith reduced dexterity whilea reminder to brush can helpthose with cognitive issues.

Always encourage a senior tobrush his or her own teeth andprovide assistance as needed.

Clean between teeth: Flossdaily (before bed) to removefood and debris betweenteeth. A floss holder or an inter-proximal brush can help.

Denture care: Removedentures from the mouth andclean daily using a soft tooth-brush or denture brush and aliquid soap. Brush over a towelto prevent damage if dropped.Gently brush the gums andtongue with a soft toothbrushmoistened with water.

Care for crowns and bridgework: Dental restorations,such as bridges or crowns, mayrequire special care. Speak toyour dentist for advice.

Look in the mouth: Manyseniors will not verballyexpress pain. Specifically askthe senior if they are experi-encing any problems, discom-fort or pain in their mouth.Look in the mouth for anysigns of redness, white blotch-es, swelling or sores.

Dry mouth: A dry mouthcan be caused by medica-tions or reduced fluid intake,and can cause discomfortand increase the risk of decay.Watch for signs of drynesssuch as cracked lips and/orcorners of the mouth. Ask yourdentist for advice on ways toalleviate dry mouth.

Visit the dentist for anexam, even if the seniorwears a denture: By visitingthe dentist regularly, not onlycan cavities and gum diseasebe caught early, there is alsothe potential to detect otherdiseases, such as oral cancer.The dental team can provideadvice to care for a senior’s oral

health, addressing any specificchallenges, including how tobrush and floss teeth.

◗ The British Columbia DentalAssociation is the recognizedvoice of dentistry in this prov-ince,dedicated to serving theinterests of its members andpromoting oral health.There areover 3,000 practising dentists inB.C.For more dental health top-ics,visit www.bcdental.org.

NEWELL, Mavis JoanWe sadly announce the sudden passing of Mavis JoanNewell on Tuesday, April 10, 2012. She will be muchmissed by all her family and friends and people she hascare given to for over 20 years in several districts ofVancouver. Mavis was a selfless person and ready tohelp anyone in need, and gave of herself completely

by serving, helping and loving all around her. She was well known for herinvolvement and her assistance to charitable and disaster situations over theyears and served and chaired on many committees. She was a professionalhome care giver. She was born on January 30, 1954, and reared from ayoung age, along with her younger sister Donna by the Mallaby family inBurnaby Vancouver and attended Burnaby public school. She married JohnNewell in 1983, and is survived by her two children, Ryan and Serena; hergrandchildren Kayleigh and Phoenix; her daughter-in-law Candis; her sisterDonna, along with her many friends including a few of the many, JohnMurray, Cort and Phoenix Murray, her soon to be son-in-law Danny and hisfamily, Leal and Terry Roe, Bill and Debbie Yurkoski, Christine and NicoleMulligan, and many other friends and acquaintances over the years. Youall know the same Mavis as she was a one model production and treatedeveryone as a human being. Our lovely friend Mavis passed away suddenlyin Surrey Memorial Hospital, after a very short illness. We would like to thankall the people at the hospital for their kindness and attention in her closingdays. We are all left somewhat bewilded and very sad, because we will missher company and the help she gave us all willingly. She made her familyhappen. She made our Christmases and Celebrations happen, and selflesslygave us all a sense of belonging to her family. Mavis can’t be replaced andwe will always remember the happy years we were privileged to share withher. What a loss of a beautiful person for all the people she touched in herall to short a life. Mavis lived and died believing in God, and her final wordswere she was ready and willing to go and be with God, and we ask God toplease receive her and look after her for us, and also to help us to try andunderstand. Leaving us all as friends is Mavis’s Legacy. A memorial servicewill be held at Promontory Community Church, 9325 Main Street, Chilliwack,BC on Wednesday, April 18 at 4:00pm. With kind help, refreshments will beserved. Any donations kindly given, will be given to the Cancer Society.
