Chilliwack NDP candidate Patti MacAhonic protects herself from a looming debt prop hoisted by Chilliwack-Hope BC Conservative candidate Michael Henshall.

Airing out election issuesBY PAUL J. [email protected]

Garbage incineration, theNorthern Gateway andhigher education wereall discussed at the first

public all-candidates meeting ofthe provincial election Thursday inChilliwack.

All five of those running inChilliwack and all three for Chilli-wack-Hope were at the lunch-timemeeting held at the BestWestern.

In opening remarks, BC Con-servative (BCCP) candidate forChilliwack-Hope Michael Hen-shall got the crowd’s attention witha ball-and-chain prop attached toa board adorned with the number

“$57,000,000,000,” meant to repre-sent provincial debt he blamed onthe NDP in the 1990s and the BCLiberals over this past decade.

John Martin, BC Liberal candi-date for Chilliwack, brought up the“elephant in the room:” his runningfor the BC Conservatives in the 2012Chilliwack-Hope byelection, duringwhich “Gwen [O’Mahony] basicallykicked our butts.”

From that byelection loss Martinsaid he learned what happens whenthe vote on the right is split.

“When the non-NDP vote is pur-sued by more than one party, theNDP is more than likely to win,” hewarned.

O’Mahony, too, looked back atthe byelection, during which shesaid there was a lot of fear-monger-ing about what an NDP win wouldmean for Chilliwack-Hope.

“And the sky didn’t fall,” she said.“You woke up the next day to a heckof a hard-working MLA.”

Chilliwack Green Party candidateKim Reimer said status quo party

politics meant local issues were for-gotten by MLAs inVictoria.

“Chilliwack no longer has avoice in Victoria and that isn’t goodenough for me,” she said.

Chilliwack-Hope BC Liberal can-didate Laurie Throness, who lost toO’Mahony in 2012, said a year agohe was talking about the same issueswith some of the same people.

Throness said the Liberal govern-ment “has managed the economyvery well” and pointed to the party’spolicy to pursue liquefied naturalgas as a means to pay off the debt.

He also warned against splittingthe vote on the right, which couldlead to an NDP victory.

Incineration, education andpipelines coming to the fore

Pub ownernot readyto tap out

See ISSUES, 6

BY PAUL J. [email protected]

The owner of a new downtownChilliwack pub is frustrat-ed that the Liquor Control

and Licensing Branch (LCLB) hasforced him to close his doors thisweekend due to what he says is aclerical error.

Brad Stuart has been runningthe District Public House at FiveCorners since last summer, whencraft beer lovers and downtownsupporters applauded the newbusiness at thel o n g - v a c a n tlocation.

B u t a f t e rmonths of backand forth withthe LCLB in anattempt to getthe liquor licencetransferred to hisname, Stuart says he is now beingforced to close April 26, 27 and 28as a penalty for serving alcohol in aprohibited area of the pub.

“The financial impact is abouttwo months of profit,” Stuart toldthe Times Monday.

“But it’s not even just me. One ofmy security guys is unemployed;the only income he has for his wifeand three kids is these three days.There are single moms in here, stu-dents going back to school. Theyare penalizing not only me butother people just trying to make aliving.”

The issue came about becausethe previous owner, Tony Lecce,

Running for elected office canbe an emotional and physi-cal drain that requires sup-

port from employers, friends andfamily.

Chilliwack-Hope BC Conserva-tive (BCCP) candidate MichaelHenshall not only has that sup-port, but his young daughters havetaken it a step further.

Naomi, 12, and Hannah Hen-shall, 11, created a non-partisanboard game called The ElectionRace designed to teach players alittle about the political processwhile raising funds for dad’s cam-paign too.

The girls were at the openingof the campaign office Henshallshares with Chilliwack BCCP can-didate Chad Eros, who also hassolid support from his wife andnine children.

“I’m pretty proud of them both,”

Henshall said. “They are both veryartistic and creative.”

The board game has playersselect one of five tokens: NDP, Lib-erals, Conservatives, Green Partyor other. Players have to get certainrolls of the die to get approved ascandidates and thenthey’re off.

Gather a campaignteam? Move ahead fourspaces.

City bylaw requiressign licence? Moveback one space.

Poor media cover-age? Move back five spaces.

“We need to promote interestin the political process,” Henshallsaid. “The game shows the poten-tial pitfalls of running. . . . A lot of[the squares] point to incidents inthis current election.”

Michael’s wife Robin agreed.“It’s fun for kids to allow them

to get involved a little easier,” shesaid.

The Henshalls had the boardgame professionally printed and itcomes with five playing pieces andone die. It’s available for $20 withdiscounts for bulk orders, evenfor other campaigns who want topurchase some and use them for

fundraising.A s k e d w h a t s h e

though of her dad run-ning for office, Naomiwas right on campaignmessaging.

“I think it’s excitingand I think he would bethe best choice for an

MLA,” she said.To see a video of Hannah and

Naomi explaining the game visitwww.youtube.com/chilliwack-times or use Layar.

◗ To order the game email [email protected] or visit theBCCP campaign office near Hofst-ede’s, across the street from FutureShop at 45802 Luckakuck Way.

If you own a light blue ToyotaTercel, get ready for a ChilliwackRCMP officer to appear on your

doorstep.Mounties are still looking for the

person who was driving just sucha vehicle early in the morning ofMarch 2, when a hit-and-run seri-

ously injured a Chilliwackman.

The car jumped a curb andhit the 37-year-old victimas he was walking on a Wil-liams Street sidewalk. Thevehicle then fled the scene,heading east on Portage

Avenue. The man sustainedseveral injuries.

Police say they have begunknocking on the doors ofowners of light blue 1991Toyota Tercels in the hope offinding the culprit.

“Ho p e f u l l y s o m e o l d

“The opportunity is still there ifthe driver of this vehicle would liketo turn themselves in as it is onlya matter of time before we knockon their door.”

Signs takea beatingBY PAUL J. [email protected]

The election signs go up and vandalssmash ‘em down.

It’s routine for veteran campaigners tospend a significant portion of time not onlyerecting signs around ridings but repairingthose that have been vandalized.

With the writ dropping last Tuesday, itdidn’t take long as a number of NDP and Lib-eral signs were down or damaged.

On Friday evening, two Chilliwack NDPcandidate Patti MacAhonic signs were downat Townsend Park and at the intersection ofEvans and Knight roads.

Further south into the Chilliwack-Hopee l e c t o r a ld i s t r i c t ,NDP candi-date GwenO’Mahony’ssign at thec o r n e ro f T y s o nand SouthSumas was spray-painted with male genita-lia.

A Liberal campaigner said Laurie Throness’ssign right next to O’Mahony’s was hit with thesame graffiti but was fixed by volunteers.

There was also some question whetheror not at least one of MacAhonic’s signs wassimply erected improperly.

BC Conservative (BCCP) candidate ChadEros had a message for the NDP candidateon Twitter: “I am putting your signs up whenI see they are knocked down. You shouldknow many of them are staked in only a fewinches.”

The Conservatives told theTimes they hadn’thad any sign damage yet, which contrasts toa year ago, when then-BCCP candidate JohnMartin had nearly all his signs at major inter-sections destroyed on one night in April.

The Throness campaign also reporteddamage to campaign signs last year.

Elections BC says that all vandalism to elec-tion signs should be reported to police and/or city hall. Sign damage is not an ElectionsAct violation but is a bylaw infraction.

The Green Party has never hadmuch of a presence in Chilli-wack, but Kim Reimer is hop-

ing to change that with a downtowncampaign office and support froma high-profile local activist.

Skwah elder Eddie Gardnergave a traditional Sto:lo blessingat Reimer’s office opening at FiveCorners Friday morning, a blessingthat may have to be repeated as thecampaign has already moved to alarger location.

“Kim has a strong and a goodheart,” Gardner said Friday. “A green

heart that matches the green heartof Chilliwack.”

With very littlep r e s e n c e f r o mGreens betweenelections,mostenvi-ronmental issueshave garnered sup-port from local NDPcandidates, includ-i n g i n c u m b e n tMLA for Chilliwack-Hope GwenO’Mahony.

Gardner drummed at O’Mahony’sswearing in ceremony in Victoria

after she won the byelection onApril 19, 2012.

But Gardner saidwhile he has appre-c i a t e d t h e s u p -port of some NewDemocrats on someissues, the partyis “sitting on thefence” with respectto his most pressing

issue: farmed salmon.“There are some NDP candidates

who don’t want to see the feedlotson the ocean but the party has not

taken a stance on this,” he told theTimes. “The party line gives me nocomfort.”

The NDP has been accused ofsitting on the fence with regards toother environmental issues too. Theparty came out strongly against theproposed Northern Gateway pipe-line in Northern B.C. but for overa year took no stance on KinderMorgan’s proposed Trans Mountainpipeline twinning project throughthe Lower Mainland, includingChilliwack.

That changed Monday as NDP

leader Adrian Dix told reporters inKamloops that he would not sup-port Kinder Morgan’s proposal.

But just as the BC Liberals arescared of the BC Conservativessplitting the vote on the right, somein the NDP are taking notice ofGreens and appear to be worriedabout the same on the left.

One NDP supporter tweeted onFriday that the the Greens have been“inactive between elections whileendangered species habitat in Chilli-wack RiverValley is wiped out.”

Reimer responded that she is newto the party and the political pro-cess, and that she’s not going any-where.

“I’m going to make sure thatchanges and that Greens are goingto be present from now on,” shesaid.

Asked if she was concerned aboutabout taking votes from a partyseen as more eco-friendly than theLiberals—the NDP—Reimer said itwas about democracy.

“I am primarily here for Chilli-wack,” she said. “I think, of all thecandidates, I have the most free-dom and ability to represent thiscommunity, and I think that weneed that back in the legislature.”

Just three days after the officeo p e n i n g o n Fr i d a y, Re i m e rannounced the campaign officehad moved a block east to 46220AYale Rd, with more space “toaccommodate more people and domore work.”

In 2009, Green candidates fin-ished fourth in both ridings, takingeight per cent of the vote in Chilli-wack and six per cent in Chilliwack-Hope.


Former NDP supporter Eddie Gardner gives a First Nations blessing Friday at the opening of Green Party candidate(centre) Kim Reimer’s office. Gardner said he switched to the Greens after NDP fence sitting on issues that matter.

After a two-year respite, the Chilliwackschool district is once again on the huntfor a Chief Financial Officer.

Current secretary-treasurer Maureen Carra-dice, who stepped in as acting secretary-trea-surer in November 2010 and was appointedto the post in February 2011, has decided tostep back into her role as director of humanresources.

“My first love is human resources,” Carradicetold the Times. “All of my education is directedin that area, and I’m gettinginto the last few years of mycareer and I want to spendit doing something that Ireally love.”

Carradice is the fifth ina string of secretary-trea-surers (acting, interim andotherwise) to take up thepost in last 10 years.

The last School DistrictNo. 33 CFO to serve even as many as threeyears was Don Murray, who held the post fornine years and retired in 2003.

“It’s a difficult position to fill,” Carradice said.“There are many aspects to the role and they’requite diverse. The fact that you have a set ofaccounting skills doesn’t necessarily give youthe experience or the skills to work throughboard governance issues. It’s an interestingrole in that regard, and I think a lot of districtshave had difficulties finding people who wishto stay with them.”

For Carradice, it was a bout with a stubborn

virus and a recent two-month medical leavethat sparked her decision to step back into theHR role she’s held in the district since 2004.

“It made me really think about what I wantto do with the rest of my working life, and theconclusion that I reached was that I really wantto spend it working in the human resourcesarea,” she said.

Carradice’s tenure as secretary-treasurer wascomplicated from the beginning by a decisionto split the secretary-treasurer role.

In February 2011, she was appointed sec-retary-treasurer with the understanding shewould oversee human resources and the oper-

ations department, whileformer director of financeJune Murphy would act asthe district’s CFO, report-ing to the superintendent.That arrangement endedwhen Murphy resigned justmonths later.

“I don’t know if it wouldhave been more do-ablethat way or not,” Carradice

said. “It’s hard to say. It’s a very difficult role,particularly when you put the HR mix into itbecause last year we were negotiating with theteachers; this year we’re negotiating with bothCUPE and the teachers, and so a lot of my timehas been taken up with that function and itwouldn’t have been for anybody else in thisrole. [Acting director of HR] Janet [Hall] did agreat job on the day-to-day work, but the bar-gaining piece really added a layer.”

The district is now looking for a consultantto find a new secretary-treasurer. Carradicewill stay on until her replacement is found.

There was a time when Iwould have been excitedabout the prospect ofan election, especially

one that might mean a change ingovernment.

I’ve always been a sucker fornew people being in charge.

I remember being 15 andwatching the lead-up to the 2000American election. I knew littleabout the various parties or poli-ticians, but I did know Al Gore’sname, and I knew that he wouldcontinue, more or less, to buildon the legacy of Bill Clinton. AndClinton had been around halfmy life.

I didn’t know if his legacy wasgood or bad. All I knew was: yaw-wwwwn. The other guy, whoeverhe was, was new. OK, his namerang a bell, but he promised tobring a fresh Texas style.

So I kind of cheered for him.Would I have voted for the

guy? Probably not. Definitely notif I was paying any sort of actualattention to the race.

But when the ballots werecounted (and counted again), Iwasn’t unhappy to hear a newname after the word “president.”

Of course, George W. Bushis now Exhibit 101 about whya person should actually payattention to the platforms andpersonalities of politicians.

The reporter in me still likes tosee new people come to the fore.

But after seven years or so oftalking to politicians, that sameguy has seen enough to lose a lotof interest in political races.

It’s not that I think our politi-cians are bad people; I think theyall want what’s best for BritishColumbia.

But I’m unconvinced that anNDP-governed province wouldlook much different from a Lib-eral-governed one.

Yes, the NDP is more likely toput more money into social ser-vices. And the Liberals are morelikely to cut taxes.

But, by and large, I don’tbelieve that the casual observerwon’t be able to tell, three yearsfrom now, which party is inpower. In a way, that’s a compli-ment for both parties, even ifthey would fiercely dispute thepoint. But for the small masoch-istic part of me that once secretlycheered for Bush just because hewas new, it’s a little disappoint-ing.

I do have other options,though.

A BC Conservative or a Green

government—or even just alocal MLA from either of thosetwo parties—would be new andexciting-ish.

But the Greens are almost alittle too responsible about theenvironment, while the Conser-vatives seem a lot like certain BCLiberals.

Which brings us around tothe Excalibur Party. I have triedto imagine a British Columbiagoverned by a party that quotesliberally from the legend of KingArthur. I can’t. It blows my mind.Imagine the headline possibili-ties! The puns! The dress code!Would the premier carry a swordaround? That would be awe-some. Would the cabinet assem-ble around a round table? Couldwe call the legislature Camelot?The possibilities are endless andfascinating to consider.

OK, the Excalibur Party isn’tgoing to form a government:they’re only running five candi-dates, according to their website.But the novelty-fiend inside meis quietly hoping Chilliwackmakes headlines by electingMichael Halliday the first Excali-bur Party MLA.

Whether I’ll actually vote forthe party, I’m still undecided. Ifigure I’ll give the NDP, BC Liber-als, BC Conservatives and Greensanother few weeks to persuademe to mark an X, instead of asword on my ballot.

Fight hardand keepit cleanB

.C. politics has been termeda “blood sport,” and electioncampaign trails are often said tobe littered with the “bodies” of

unsuccessful politicians.But those are figurative expressions—

metaphors for events in which the blood isonly visible to those who live and breathepolitics, and the bodies strewn about getup and walk again, although sometimesnever again in the paths of politics.

Now that the writ has dropped and theelection campaigns are officially under-way, we expect the candidates to come outof their corners swinging.

We expect them to hit hard and landsome solid blows against their opponents.

We expect them to fight to win.But we also expect them keep the dirt on

the floor of the arena, where it belongs.We want a good, hard, clean fight.Just as in boxing.We want to be able to appreciate the

battle, to suss out the strategies, and tolearn each combatant’s strong and weakpoints.

Because when this month-long contesthas run its course, we’re going to have tochoose one of them to get into the ringin Victoria and fight on our behalf for thenext four years.

We want the best candidate for the bigjob that lies ahead.

We don’t want a light-weight.We want someone with strength and

stamina, with the condition required to gothe long haul.

And we want someone who will repre-sent us the way we would want to repre-sent ourselves: with grit, determinationand a deep sense of fair play.

Politicians, like boxers, may fall downoccasionally.

Not all of the candidates will win. That’spart of the game.

As long as they keep it clean, theydeserve our respect for taking their bestshot, and for offering us their service.

In many cases these fly-ers are for candidates whoare not even running in myriding.

Similarly, I have seenmany signs in my riding thatare also for candidates forother ridings.

With the Chilliwack Chiefsin full rebuilding modeand another familiar faceheading to an American

university, the junior hockey club heldits annual spring camp last weekend.

More than half of last year’s teamhas either aged out of junior hockeyor will be playing university hockeyin the upcoming season (or both).The latter’s ranks grew by one earlierthis month when Spencer Graboskiannounced that he had committed toplay for Sacred Heart University nextyear.

That has Chiefs general managerHarvey Smyl looking at a long sum-mer.

“We do have a hell of a lot of work todo,” he told theTimes.

But that also creates more opportu-nities for attendees of the camp, which

began Friday and saw eight teams playgames over three days.

“We need to replace upwards of 13kids this year,” Smyl said. Not all ofthose will come from last weekend’scamp—Smyl and other team person-nel will look and travel far and wide toland players. But the camp gives theteam the ability to both gauge players’ability, while also indicating the pros-pects’ interest in becoming a Chief.

Smyl said he was impressed withboth the skills and character of someof the prospects at the camp.

Among his team’s most importantneeds is a goaltender who can shareduties with returnee Josh Halpennynext year.

“We did have some kids step up andplay really well,” said Smyl. He specifi-cally mentioned R.J. Bruni, but cau-tioned that no decisions have beenmade.

“Do we have an answer for the othercondition at this point? I mean it’s

April. A lot of things will change by thetime August comes around.”

Bruni, the son of Chiefs goaltend-ing coach Rob Bruni, is just one ofseveral half-dozen familiar names—including Plevy, Fortems, Babych andCochrane—to appear on the list of

attendees of last weekend’s camp andbelong to relatives of current or for-mer Chiefs.

Smyl said he doesn’t go out of hisway to recruit sons and younger broth-ers into the “Chiefs Family.” Rather,he sees it as a trickle-down effect ofcoaching players who have enjoyedtheir time in Chilliwack.

There was another familiar namebeing evaluated at camp: Cam Smyl,son of Harvey.

It was the second spring camp forCam, who played midget hockey inChilliwack.

Harvey said his son’s evaluation andexit interview is left to his staff.

“It’s probably a little more difficulton our staff, in terms of the criticism,but I encourage them to have dialoguebecause it’s important for Cam tounderstand what’s needed for him todevelop and be the best player he canbe,” he said. “It is a little different, buthe doesn’t get treated any different.”

After flooding and stand-ing water plagued itsconstruction, it was

only fitting that soggy condi-tions put a damper on Sat-urday’s grand opening of theFraser Valley Regional Dis-trict’s Island 22 bike park.

The park opened Saturdaywith a ribbon-cutting cel-ebration, after which bikersdemonstrated the park’s one-of-a-kind sand jump, whichallows riders to try big tricksonto a forgiving ramp madeof sand.

With dozens of local bikeriders of various ages on hand,Jay Hoots—whose companywas responsible for buildingthe park—said the openingshowed the public’s appetitefor such a facility.

“This is a real good indica-tion that things are alive andwell for biking in Chilliwack,”Hoots told the Times. “It’sbeen a complicated build, soit’s really nice.”

Speaking during the open-ing, Hoots implored riders towear helmets and to give thepark some time to dry after

rain.The park sits near the Fra-

ser River and outside the dikesystems that protects Chilli-wack. Flooding and a rainyspring in 2012 delayed thepark’s construction. After dry-ing last summer, the waterreturned during the winter;standing water was still pres-ent on track during the grandopening and use was limitedto a gravel trail around theexterior of the park. Crewsused torches to manually drythe track to the sand jumpprior to the opening.

That jump, however, drewa rave review from rider BenGlassen, who said it’s uniqueand will allow riders to try newtricks in a safe way. He said itsinclusion in a public bike parkis a product of enlightenedthinking.

“Having it in a public bikepark is really forward think-ing.”

Much of the dirt used forthe jumps came from thedeconstructed Sardis Humps,which were built by riders butlevelled because of liabilityconcerns.

“This is how you make itsafe,” Glassen said.

Don't like the taste or smell of your water?Here's what you can do about chlorination.

Q.Q.A.A.

AndyAJ Pumps

How can I get rid of it?Chlorine can be removed several ways....boiling the water is one way buttedious. Evaporation works but takes time, distillation is another method.The easiest way is with filtration.

Can I just put a filter on my tap?The filter can go on your whole house or individual taps or on your jugof water

But don't I have to change filters all the time?Filters only absorb so much then they have to be changed. With our systems the averagehome changes once a year.(depending on chlorine concentration and amount of water used)

What about a permanent set-up under my sink. Is it expensive?Filtration can be installed at point of use under the sink with a separate tap or can be

connected to your existing tap. Do-it-yourself kits are about $125. Installed its about $225.

My whole house smells of chlorine, especially after showering?If you don't like showering or brushing your teeth with chlorine a whole house filter can beinstalled. Surprisingly this does not cost much more than filtering just your sink. Anotheradvantage to this is that if your house is on a septic field you do not neutralize the bacteriain the field. We find the average home is only about $500 installed.

Chlorine is here to stay... you do not have to get used to it or learn to live with it.It can be effectively removed at a relatively low cost. -Andy.We educate We sell We install We service.... ajpumps.comWe educate We sell We install We service.... ajpumps.com

THE SPIRIT OF VOLUNTEERISM

For volunteer opportunities, please contactyour neighbourhood school.

Your involvement makes a difference!


Without the hard work and tirelesseffort of volunteers, many belovedevents and vital programs in Chilli-

wack wouldn’t be possible.But that’s not to say volunteering has to be

difficult and tiring. In fact, Volunteering Chilli-wack co-ordinator Cari Moore said helping outis as easy as it’s ever been.

Volunteer Chilliwack is a Chilliwack Com-munity Services program that works toconnect would-be volunteers to dozens of dif-ferent organizations in need of help.

Moore said you don’t have to have a lot ofspare time on your hands to help out.

“If you only have a little time to spend onvolunteering, you can always volunteer forevents,” she said. “You don’t have to be on acommittee, you can just volunteer to show upon the day.”

Then there’s the fact that organizations aren’tjust looking for manpower. Volunteers withspecial skills can be a great help to non-profitswith limited budgets. And you might not evenhave to leave your house—or get dressed.

“If you have specific things that you wantto do as a volunteer, Volunteer Chilliwack canhelp match you up with organizations thatmight need that specific thing.”

For example, Moore said, “If you’re a webdesigner that wants to volunteer in the middleof the night, I can put it out to the non-profitorganizations that I work with and say ‘Doesanyone need web designing done?’ They cando it on their own times and their own sched-ules.”

That reflects a new trend in the volunteeringworld, Moore said.

“The highly skilled volunteer that has thosespecific skills [but] only has a little bit of timeto do them is kind of the direction that volun-teering is going in,” she said. “We really have torethink the whole ‘Come in every Tuesday foreight hours volunteer position.’”

Many of today’s would-be volunteers areparticular about the types of duties they wouldlike to do and might not have as much freetime as those 20 years ago.

“They still want to show that they made adifference. The non-profits out there are hav-ing to rethink their volunteer positions,” Mooresaid.

It can be a challenge for non-profits to alterthe way they recruit and use volunteers. But amore-skilled volunteer force also presents anopportunity for an organization to gain accessto people with valuable—and otherwiseexpensive—talents.

Just make the call . . . and volunteerWhether you have a lot of time to volunteer

or just a little, the place to start is by callingVol-unteer Chilliwack at 604-793-7023.

If you know what type of work you wouldlike to do, or what type of non-profit you wantto support, Moore will work to connect youwith a suitable organization.

If all you know is that you want to help out,Moore will try to learn what sort of volunteerwork is best for you and then provide severaloptions.

Volunteer opportunities, especially thoserevolving around events, can also be foundon the Internet by visiting www.volweb.ca.According to the site, volunteers are neededfor Party in the Park events over the summer,along with the Prostate Cancer Foundation BCChilliwack Father’s DayWalk/Run.

“It actually happened and itcould happen again and this timeit’s more serious,” he said.

Abbotsford resident Michael Hal-liday, who is running in Chilliwackfor a party he created called the BCExcalibur Party, also showed up,uninvited, at the debate. He wasallowed to sit at the table with thecandidates and participate.

Halliday said he created the newparty because 85 per cent of thosehe talked to were undecided ordetermined not to vote at all.

On the subject of air quality andthe question of Metro Vancouver’splan to burn its garbage in a waste-to-energy facility, there was across-the-board condemnation.

“We’ll block efforts to haveMetro Vancouver garbage inciner-ated anywhere near ourarea,” Chilliwack BCCPcandidate Chad Erossaid.

Chilliwack NDP can-didate Patti MacAhonicsaid the Fraser Valleycould “not afford tohave any more pressureon our air quality.”

Martin said the onething he has learned from outgoingMLA John Les was that he “alwaysput Chilliwack ahead of the rest ofthe province, ahead of his party,ahead of his leader.”

“I’m dead set against it,” Martinsaid of the incinerator plan.

Despite Kinder Morgan’s publicplan to twin its Trans Mountainpipeline, which runs through bothlocal ridings, the Northern Gate-

way pipeline was brought up fordiscussion with the candidates.

Throness reiterated his party’sf i v e c o n d i t i o n srequired before anyoil pipeline wouldb e a p p r ov e d bya Liberal govern-ment.

H e n s h a l l p u tforth the BCCP pol-icy of support forthe pipelines.

O’Mahony and Reimer said theywere against it.

On higher education, the Liberalcandidates said their governmenthas been doing a good job already.

O’Mahony and MacA-honic reiterated recentannouncements byNDP leader Adrian Dixabout money for skillstraining and reinstate-ment of the studentgrant program.

The largest diver-gence among the can-didates came on the

topic of teachers and education.O’Mahony, MacAhonic and

Reimer talked about overworkedteachers pushed to the limit withclass sizes and not enough sup-port.

Eros said teachers may not needmore money but they need betterworking conditions, and he did notlike the idea that elementary stu-dents had to do things like fund-

raise for playgrounds.Martin put education with the

other “huge issues” that needed tobe resolved with bigpicture fiscal man-agement solutions.

Throness alludedto recent labourstrife between theLiberal governmentand teachers.

“In 2006 the BCLiberals gave teach-

ers a deal and it was a 16 per centraise plus $3,700 signing bonus,”he said. “We are not ungenerouswith teachers. But we have rightnow, in order to balance our bud-get, a net-zero mandate.”

Other scheduled publicmeetings include:◗ The WaterWealth Project hosts anall-candidates “conversation” onApril 30 at 6 p.m. at Sto:lo Nation.The focus of the meeting will beon issues that impact local waters,including gravel mining, fish farm-ing and pipelines.

◗ An all-candidates meeting forthe Chilliwack candidates is set forMay 1 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Yar-row Community Centre.

◗ The Chilliwack Teachers Asso-ciation hosts a meeting for bothridings on May 2 at 7 p.m. at Ever-green Hall.

draw at G.W. Graham Thurs-day.

Tracy said she would havebeen in a quandary aboutwinning the souped-up 2009Honda DX since she has twoboys: Eric and 19-year-oldBlake.

But then Blake wasn’t thereto chip in $5.

“Flat out, it’s his car, so it’sgreat,” she said, adding hereldest is thrilled for his littlebrother anyway.

And Eric’s reaction?“He’s overjoyed. He can’t

believe it. It’s just fantastic,”Tracy said.

But the Gray’s weren’t theonly winners when it cameto this year’s inaugural GWGGrad Car Raffle.

Grads sold 2,752 ticketsand raised $27,520.

Even after costs (like pay-ing Murray Honda a bargainprice for the car), that willmean twice as much moneyfor grad activities like con-vocation, prom and drygrad this year compared tolast.

“We couldn’t have doneit without all the sponsors,”

said Eleanor Meldrum, aparent who co-ordinatedthe raffle. “We started withnothing, went to them ands a i d , ‘ Wehave noth-ing to givey o u . C a ny o u t r u s tme?’”

B y t h ee n d , t h e2009 four-door Honda Civic DX camewith the works: a sleek$ 4 , 0 0 0 b l u e - a n d - w h i t epaint job from Fix Auto,$5,000 worth of sound and

security equipment from604 Autosound and snazzy18-inch DIP D66 rims and40ZR Fierce Instinct Tires

from Foun-tain Tire.

“It’s beenawesome,”G . W. G ra -ham vice-p r i n c i p a lPaula Jor-dan said.

She credits Meldrum—who doesn’t even havea n o t h e r g r a d c o m i n gthrough the school untilnext year—for pulling the

Herculean effort together.“She’s just a real supporter

of G.W. Graham and kids ingeneral,” Jordan said. “Shejust wants to do what’s bestfor kids. We’re so lucky tohave her.”

The grads did their parttoo, of course, and top tick-et-seller Michelle Gammon,who sold 255 tickets, wasrewarded with an iPad mini.

Other top sellers whosnapped up prizes wereAugust Wilder (125 tickets),Julie Merchel (109 tickets)and Oceanna Knappett (89tickets).
