Pipe bombsfound near councillor’s business
A grifter’ssad taleI
BY PAUL J. HENDERSON
It’s next to impossible to tell when a confidence scam artist is telling the truth.
That was the broad sentiment from some victims of Donald Quinnell, the man who faces a five-year prison term for close to two dozen counts of fraud and theft of elderly people in Chil-liwack and Agassiz last year.
The 48-year-old got choked up in the prisoner’s box during his sentencing hearing in provincial court in Chilliwack on Dec. 3. Crocodile tears, according to the elderly victims that remained in court
“He had to say that,” said one victim after Quin-nell’s apology in court.
The victims, all of whom are in their mid-60s to 94-years-old, can’t be named because of a court-ordered publication ban.
Facing a lengthy trial and 15 counts of fraud under $5,000, 14 counts of theft under $5,000 and
one count of possession of stolen property, Quin-nell pleaded guilty to 22 counts on Oct. 16.
Quinnell had a variety of scams. In some cases he would convince a Good Samaritan to “lend” him money for a tow truck after a supposed accident, or they would give him money through some other convoluted scheme.
In other cases he promised he could get some-one a great deal on carpet or countertops or appli-ances, take money and disappear.
Yet other cases were simple distraction scams where he would make off with a wallet or a purse.
In one case recounted to the Times by one of the victims who was in court last week, a man rang the doorbell of her home in a gated community and pretended to be the son of a neighbour. He said he needed a ride to the hospital, and eventu-ally convinced her to give up $400. He then stole her cellphone and $60 when she wasn’t looking.

Ken Popove wasn’t surprised to find garbage dumped next to a dumpster behind his Alexan-
der Avenue tire shop Tuesday morn-ing. It happens all the time.
But when one of his employees threw a bag into the dumpster and it ripped open, they were surprised by what they found.
“We found three or four pipe bombs,” the city councillor and own-er of Ken’s Tire & Wheel said later in the day.
“I’ve never seen one before but it was six to eight inches long, two-and-a-half inches wide with a wick on the end of it w i t h e l e c t r i c a l tape.”
C h i l l i w a c k RCMP confirmed Monday that what they found were suspicious in nature, but Popove said police confirmed to him they were pipe bombs and two of the three pipes were “live.”
Police say they were called at approximately 8 a.m. on Dec. 8 to investigate suspicious items found in a dumpster.
Popove said when general duty officers arrived, they took a photo of the items and sent them off. Soon after, the building was evacuated and the street was blocked off.
“The safety of the public is our immediate concern,” said Chilliwack

Rob and Brenda Wall found their pur-pose 23 years ago. They know others are still looking . . . and they want to help.
Because helping is what the Walls are all about. As the executive directors of One Life One Chance Ministries (OLOCM), the Walls have built an organization that has Christian faith at its core and a need to spread the king-dom of God.
What makes them different, and perhaps more able to do good, is that they aren’t going it alone. At the core of their vision statement is their desire to encourage and equip Christian believers to contribute to a “village” concept, changing hearts through community service and partnership to the people of Mexico and abroad. To do this, OLOCM has been reaching out to partner with people and ministries. They aren’t looking to be their own church. They simply want to link existing ministries in a com-mon goal.
And it seems to be working, as OLOCM’s growth has the Walls seeking helping hands.
“People want to feel they are a part of some-thing,” say Rob and Brenda.
Serving is transformational, as the Walls know firsthand. Rob’s first trip to Mexico was with a youth group and it’s something he highly recommends for families.
“It becomes generational,” he says. “You acquire a world view. Everyone should go at least once.”
In keeping with their philosophy to support rather than form their own church, OLCOM uses the base at Los Olivos (on the Baja Pen-insula) to connect with indigenous ministries. They act as a neutral ministry site from which they can undertake large projects such as build-ing new homes or as simple a thing as serving a meal through community outreach. And all of this is done through the local church.
“It’s a hand up, not a hand out,” explains Rob. “We’re trying to be as invisible as possible. We don’t want to create entitlement.”
The multi-year plan is to develop everything from an orphanage and educational facility, to basic medical and social services.
“We are a full-time neutral presence down there,” say Rob and Brenda.
And the need for help is great. Because of a lack of government support, many poorer Mex-icans find themselves without an ally when it comes to basic living and working conditions. Females are especially vulnerable as they are seen as “having less value,” says Rob.
“There is a lot of abuse.” “We are trying to make sure they get an edu-
cation, it is a big drive for us,” says Brenda.Again, it’s the hand up, not a hand out philos-
ophy that OLOCM employs to enact change.“We are working with kids to not have them
go into the fields,” says Rob.Seniors too are at risk when they become too
old to work in the field.“They are tossed away,” says Rob.And while mission work can be emotionally

A local cemetery owner has had his plan to expand buried by the Agricultural Land Com-
mission (ALC).Greg Peterson, owner of Vedder
View Gardens Cemetery, applied to the ALC in January to expand Vedder View Gardens into the southern 2.28 hectares (ha) of an adjacent Watson Road property he bought in 2009, leaving 3.64 ha of that property to farming.
In a decision dated Nov. 16, the ALC panel found: “While the panel recognizes that the current ceme-tery . . . predates the ALR, it does not
believe that further expansion into the ALR is an appropriate use of land that is intended for agriculture.”
In his original application, Peter-son commissioned an agrologist who found most of the property to have poor quality soil.
The city’s Agricultural Advisory Committee supported the applica-tion, saying that the cemetery expan-sion would benefit the community as a whole with limited loss to agricul-ture.
And at its Jan. 6 meeting, city coun-cil agreed to forward the application on to the ALC “with support.”
It was on this last point that Peter-son made his fervent pitch for the application. He said, essentially, Chilliwack faces a cemetery shortage within four years if his application is rejected.
“With Chilliwack’s ever-increasing population, a specific portion of this increase falls within the over-55 seg-ment which justifies the city’s various initiatives to enhance the lives and services to those people,” Peterson wrote in his application. “But what do we do when they die?”
Vedder View currently has just 140 casket burial spaces available to the
general public, plus 120 undevel-oped, and is only one of two ceme-teries in the city open to the general public.
There are a number of cemeter-ies on local First Nations reserve land used by those communities. There are also ones owned by Car-man United, St. Mary’s Catholic and Greendale Mennonite, which are open to members of those respective churches.
No new cemetery property has been made available since 1992 when Vedder View Gardens opened, according to Peterson.
In supporting the application, it wasn’t the supposed shortage of cemetery space that swayed city council.
“For council, and me specifically at the time, the private sector consid-eration of remaining capacity didn’t weigh into the decision to support the application,” Coun. Sam Wad-dington told the Times. “I simply saw the application as a creative way to reuse the existing non-farmed sec-tion of the land and actually provide a net benefit to agriculture in the process by improving the rest of the farmable portion of land.”
Peterson did not want to comment on the application because he plans to appeal the ALC decision.
RCMP Cpl. Paul Emond.A couple of hours later the RCMP
Explosives Disposal Unit arrived and safely removed the items.
Police say they are pursuing their investi-gation into the origin of the pipe bombs.
“Fortunately no one was injured,” said Chil-liwack RCMP spokes-p e r s o n C p l . M i k e Rail. “Police practise caution in these situa-tions as the threat is high until suspicious articles are removed and disposed of.”
As for Popove, he was impressed with the professional work done by the Mount-ies, and he was happy to see the situation
resolved before noon so his business wasn’t dis-rupted further.
“All’s well that ends well,” he said. Police remind anyone who witnesses any-thing they believe to be suspicious in nature to contact the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611
or, to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

The addition of two more non-instructional days for Chilliwack School District stu-
dents in the new year is yet another example of a provincial government funding shortfall.
That’s the opinion of District Par-ent Advisory Council (DPAC) presi-dent Justine Hodge.
“Cuts to funding have already been so deep that districts were forced to add an additional week to spring break because they can’t afford to keep their doors open,” Hodge told the Times. “They were forced to decrease instruction time to the absolute minimum.”
Parents were notified in late November of the two new non-in-structional days on Feb. 22 and April 25, which brings the total of non-in-structional days to eight for the year.
The two new days are so teachers can familiarize themselves with new curriculum coming to elementary and middle schools next year and high school the year after.
“At the heart of British Columbia’s redesigned curriculum are core competencies, essential learning and literacy and numeracy founda-tions,” Superintendent of Schools Evelyn Novak said in the letter to parents and guardians dated Nov. 26.
On Sept. 28, the Ministry of Edu-cation and the B.C. Teachers Feder-
ation (BCTF) announced a plan to support the new curriculum, which includes 10 hours of non-instruc-tional time for professional develop-ment.
But Hodge said it is “frightening” the government is introducing new curriculum with-out more money and appropriate time for teachers to train.
“Students are already getting one less week of instruction-al t ime in the classroom and t h e g o v e r n -ment has add-ed three more days this year, and two more the next,” Hodge said. “When is it going to stop? When will they start paying teachers what they are worth and funding their profession-al development without robbing classroom time from students in the process?”
Chilliwack Teachers’ Associa-tion (CTA) president Lee-Anne Clarke said the non-instructional days will give Chilliwack teachers time to become familiar with the
new curriculum. She clarified these two addition-
al days are not the traditional Pro-D days, but are a way for the school dis-trict to provide compulsory training or inservice.
And Hodge emphasized she is suppor tive of P r o - D d a y s , which do not take away from student instruc-tion time.
“ I w o u l d never oppose p r o f e s s i o n a l development for teachers,” she said.
C l a r k e s a i d t h e t w o d a y s will help Chilli-wack teachers s u c c e s s f u l l y implement the “ l a r g e - s c a l e changes to the
curriculum” that is coming.That curriculum is currently being
piloted at the Kindergarten to Grade 9 level at various locations through-out the province and will take effect in the 2016-2017 school year.
The redesigned curriculum for grades 10 to 12 will be piloted next September and will take effect in the 2017-2018 school year.

A man sentenced to jail and probation in October for a string of mail thefts from community mail-boxes this summer faces more charges.
David McGill was sen-tenced to 31 days in jail and 18 months probation on Oct. 20.
On Aug. 28, Mounties investigating a string of mailbox thefts dating back to early 2015 were led to McGill and his blue pickup truck. Police followed a trail of eight damaged mailboxes through Agassiz to Der-oche until they stopped and arrested McGill in Mission.
He was scheduled back in court Tuesday facing fraud and possess/use stolen credit card charges from July 22, but he did not show up and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest.
Witness identifcation key to Olson case
A local drug dealer facing serious charges in connection with three
separate incidents over three weeks in the fall of 2014 went to trial for one of those incidents Tuesday.
Jonathon David Olson’s trial for posses-sion of stolen property, flight from a peace offi-cer, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and operation of a motor vehicle while disqualified began in provincial court in Chilliwack.
Olson’s defence lawyer David Donnelly told the court the entire matter hinged on witness iden-tification of the accused. He also said he was plan-ning on presenting alibi evidence.
Crown counsel Brian Fell agreed the case
hinged on identification, but also the expert finger-print analysis he planned to present. As for the identification, that was to be based on Olson’s unique facial tattoos.
Olson’s trial is for an alleged incident on Sept. 25, 2014.
He is also in the middle of a trial for a Sept. 13, 2014 incident where he is accused of unlawful confinement and extor-tion after he and another man are alleged to have beaten a lower level drug dealer and pep-per-sprayed the man’s
genitals.Olson also faces
robbery and weapons charges alongside prolific offender Troy James for an alleged home invasion at a mistaken address on Oct. 4, 2014. The two men are accused of ter-rorizing a young man at his home while looking for drugs and/or money and asking for a man named “Gus,” according to sources. Someone by that name who has had contacts with police lived one block away. The two are alleged to have later car-jacked Stuart Ellis,
a man known to police who was found murdered in an SUV on Hazel Street in January 2015.
Olson’s trial on the Sept. 25 matter was scheduled for two days to end Wednesday after the Times went to press.
Police still seeking cold case hit and run driver
Chilliwack RCMP are asking for the public’s assistance to identify the driver of car allegedly involved in a collision with a pedestrian down-town in October.
On Oct. 22 at approx-
imately 1 p.m., police received a report that a 21-year-old woman was struck by a car in the crosswalk of the inter-section at Yale Road and Kipp Avenue. The vehicle continued to travel along Kipp Avenue and did not stop. The pedestrian was treated and released from hospital with non-life threatening injuries, and the incident was reported to police by the victim later that day.
The suspect vehicle is described as a red Ponti-ac Sunfire with damage to the back of the car,
driven by a caucasian male in his late 20s or early 30s.
“As police follow all leads in our investigation we are also reaching out for the public’s assistance to identify the driver of the Sunfire,” Chilliwack RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Mike Rail said.
Anyone with informa-tion of this event is asked to contact the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or, to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Chilliwack School District 33 has 31 schools, 13,474 stu-dents and a $109.9 million
budget, and on Saturday, Dec. 12 the byelection to fill the seventh vacant seat on the school board runs from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Here’s a brief look at the candi-dates:
Alisha AtkinsonAtkinson has been a volunteer
and contributing member of Chil-liwack for her entire life. She grad-uated from CSS four years ago and is now attending UFV where she works, volunteers and sits on a number of boards.
Paula DeWitDeWit is a a local musician and
director of the Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra. She says her objective as a school trustee is “to raise student academic performance and increase throughput to university and colleges.”
“By bringing my core values of hard work and collaboration, cou-pled with my life experiences and knowledge, I will be able to make a real difference,” DeWit says.
Her Facebook campaign page is “Paula DeWit for School Trustee.”
John EdwardsEdwards is trained as a registered
nurse and a registered psychiatric nurse, works as a medical sales rep-resentative and has an extensive resume in the field. He says, among other things, he will use his health-care and business background to advocate for more core funding for the district to support all children including those with special needs, gifted students, students with men-tal health challenges, students from low income families and aboriginal students.
He has experience on a number of boards in Quebec and the U.S., served as president of the Rotary Club of Surrey and is a recipient of a Rotary Paul Harris Fellowship in rec-ognition of his community work.
Angelina GosselinGosselin is an RCMP constable
with extensive experience working for the force at the community level as a First Nations policing constable, a community/youth constable and more. She is currently on an educa-tional leave from the RCMP where she is working as a community wellness worker within Sto:lo Ser-vice Agency’s Health Services, while attending the Justice Institute of Brit-ish Columbia. With over 18 years of volunteering within communities she’s worked and lived in, Gosselin says she wants to do her part to sup-port all youth in attaining their edu-cation goals.
Four of Gosselin’s children have graduated through the Chilliwack
school district and her youngest is set to do the same in 2017.
Her website: www.angelinagoss-elin.com
Her Facebook campaign is “Ange-lina Gosselin, SD33 School Trustee Campaign.”
Karen JarvisJarvis says her involvement with
parent advisory committees, the Chilliwack District Parent Adviso-ry Committee as well as sitting as a public member with the Chilliwack Healthier Community, has given her the opportunity to serve within the community and she wants “to put unity back into the community.”

Her Facebook campaign page is “Karen Jarvis Candidate for Chilli-wack School Trustee.”
Brian MielkeMielke is an entrepreneur, and own-
er of a manufacturing business and a software development company. He has lived in Chilliwack for 10 years.
“I can’t say enough about the front-line talent and support personnel that we have in School District 33. I am very concerned about the defund-ing of the public school system. The inability of the current provincial government to hear the educators is disappointing to say the least. It illu-minates the importance of the voice of parents in this equation.”
Marion Mussell Mussell has worked as an educa-
tor, administrator and as a private contractor in the field of social ser-vice. She has a B.A. from the Uni-versity of British Columbia and a Masters of Education from Simon Fraser University.

She has been a resident of Chilliwack for over 40 years.
Mussell ran for school board in the 2014 general election and finished 10th out of 13 candidates.
Her Facebook campaign page is “Marion L Mussell for Chilliwack School Trustee.”

He calls ser-vice as a trustee “an opportunity to give back to my community, a com-munity that has been so supportive of me and my family.”
His Facebook campaign page is “Bob Patterson for School Trustee.”
Megan PraatUnder the tagline “Youth Support-
ing Youth,” 18-year-old Megan Praat is running in the byelection in one of the first elections she is even allowed to vote in. Praat says she “can offer a unique, current perspective to the Chilliwack School Board by repre-senting the youth demographic in our education system.” At 18, her resume isn’t too deep, but she served as Chilliwack secondary’s student president last year and has been a local youth advocate for seven years, in addition to spending time volunteering. Further, she says she is co-owner of Urban Sprout, a cafe soon to open in downtown Chilli-wack.
Her Facebook campaign page: “Megan Praat for SD33 School-Trust-ee.”
Perry SherstobetoffSherstobetoff’s personal Facebook

Doubt, cynicism, despair . . . it’s easy to be struck with these sen-timents when we see the poverty
and tragedy in the world.Tumult abounds but at the communi-
ty level, here in Chilliwack, it’s remark-able how charitable people are.
I was at the studio of 89.5 The Drive this week chatting with local music man Trevor McDonald and radio personality Sadie about charitable acts we’ve seen or been involved with in Chilliwack. I men-tioned the subject and the two had so much to say I couldn’t get a word in.
I’m not alone in seeing a rising tide of help for others that is heart-warming. From the response to the Syrian refugee crisis to the annual Christmas surge in giving to the every-other-day-of-the-year events, Chilliwack is generous.
To wit, in just two hours on Dec. 7, the Chilliwack Fire Department, along with Search and Rescue, Emergency Social Services and Scouts Canada pulled in 18,000 food items and $1,500 for the Sal-vation Army Food Bank.
On Dec. 20, the RCMP, Chilliwack Community Services and Jim’s Pizzeria hold the third annual Christmas Pan-cake Breakfast for 10 deserving families.
As for the Syrian refugees, a number of organizations, individuals and churches
have stepped up, including Refugees and Chilliwack (REaCH), a group of local women committed to raising funds to sponsore a Syrian refugee family. REaCH held a black-tie fundraiser at Bravo Restaurant on Tuesday and have a $25 burger and beer fundraiser set for Dec. 16 at Society Gathering House.
Speaking of Syria, a local woman has created “Carry the Future Fraser Valley” to collect soft-structured baby carriers to donate to refugees.
Often a person or a community orga-nization doing something great is made even better by a corporate or business sponsor. Two examples: First is the obvious and important donations to the Salvation Army Chistmas Kettles. Local realtor Sabrina vandenBrink decided that not only would her team volunteer at a kettle, they would match every pen-ny donated that day up to $2,000.
Then there are the Chilliwack Chicks, a group of local women who have achieved the honour of top female fund-
raising team for the last five years at the CIBC Run for the Cure. The group raised $91,200 and is looking to hit $100,000 for 2016. This year local business Auld Phillips donated a cheque for a little over $9,200 to the cause.
But there’s more. Sadie told me of a group handing out
backpacks full of stuff to homeless individ-uals downtown this week, and a woman I’ve chatted with is filling purses full of items for homeless women and will be handing them out at Five Corners on Dec. 11.
Of course, the holiday season brings this to the forefront, but there are those who do remarkable things all year long, such as SPARKS and Chilliwack Bowls of Hope, to name two.
SPARKS is Special People Acts of Ran-dom Kindness Shared and is a non-de-nominational group of local people who feed between 150 and 200 people every Sunday, rain or shine, downtown. On Dec. 20 at 4 p.m., SPARKS is holding a “Handups Dinner” at the Senior Rec Centre at 9400 College St.
And Chilliwack Bowls of Hope feeds hundreds of kids at school who would have otherwise gone without every week.
Facebook is an amazing place to waste time, but it’s also a good place to connect and spread positive energy. Recently, for
example, there was a tornado of support for a guy named Doug who delivered pizzas for Domino’s and who had his car stolen. Vehicles get stolen all the time, but as someone pointed out to me, one person’s petty crime is another person’s life-changing challenge. According to Doug, the car was found and it’s “toast.” Someone created a GoFundMe account to raise $2,000 for Doug to replace his car.
Which brings this entire story full circle as the Chilliwack Times is spear-heading the 12th annual Christmas Car Giveaway. One Doug supporter said on social media she had already written a nomination for him to receive the free car given away in conjunction with Fix Auto Chilliwack, Valley Toyota and Simpson Auto. Deadline for nomina-tions is tomorrow, Dec. 11.
But there you are. More charity than I can keep track of. This is just, literally, stuff that has blown across my desk or through my Facebook feed, and it likely overlooks tons of other good works.
It’s easy to be glum, and it’s easy to be concerned at the need in our society. But it’s cool to see a motivated response from regular citizens to make a positive difference in the lives of those in need at this time of year and beyond.
Merry Christmas indeed.
A heart-warming rising tide of help
OUR VIEW
The holiday season can be a time of good cheer, with excitement over gift giving and spending time with family, the joy of attending seasonal events and
the wonder of viewing colourfully decorated homes and public areas.
But not everyone has a rosy impression of the season. Many things can leave one feeling added stress, and at worst, depression.
Worries over money are common. Many of us place a lot of pressure on ourselves to find the right gifts for people, or feel like we’ve spent enough. Others worry that they simply won’t have enough to buy gifts for children or others.
In traditional and blended families, the pull can be strong to try pleasing everyone and scheduling a gather-ing time that works for all, regardless of how unrealistic it may be.
For people who lost a loved one during the year and are facing the first Christmas without them, grief can take a heavy toll.
People are reminded to acknowledge their feelings, whether those are sadness, anxiety, being overwhelmed, or others. Reaching out to friends or family members, maybe going out for coffee or lunch to talk things over, can be a good way to avoid feeling isolated or to prevent resentment from brewing inside.

Editor:The people of Chilliwack are
undoubtedly in a phase of voter fatigue after the marathon federal campaign. However, I ask that we all take the time to inform ourselves on next week’s school board byelection and get out to vote. The roles that our school board trustees perform are vital, and essential to the continued innovation in our local education system and curriculum in particular.
The community speaks up during the flash point issues of our school system at times of union strikes or system failure, but Dec. 12 is the time that we, as voters, can take a proactive approach to shaping this vital system. We can elect the group of people that represent the educa-tion of our entire next generation, for good of for worse.
The social problems that we will see on the streets of our communi-ty, in our hospitals and our justice system often begin here. As well, the entrepreneurial minds, the scholars, professionals, artists and social lumi-naries, are shaped in profound ways by the experiences that they have while they are in our schools.
This election has seen a cross sec-tion of candidates, as varied as the fabric of our community, put their names forward. It seems a daunting task to replace one of the most senior, and longest-serving school trustees in the province with someone new, however that is the task at hand.
So, is it time to choose a fresh young voice in an 18-year-old recent Chilliwack graduate and university student? Is it time to add experience and administrative knowledge with a previous vice-superintendent of schools? Perhaps an art voice in a symphony orchestra director? Or any of the other highly skilled candidates who have entered into the thankless role of campaigning, and asking you for your confidence in them.
No matter who it is that you vote for, it is the vote in itsself that matters the most. Please inform yourself, go to the polls, and help shape the future of our community.

Trade missions have produced returnsEditor:
There are significant errors that need correcting in the piece pub-lished in the Dec. 3 Chilliwack Times entitled “Trade missions fail to deliver bang for buck.”
Our economy has benefitted enor-mously from trade missions and in particular our focus on Asian markets has attracted investment, increased exports and helped B.C. diversify. The proof is in the numbers.
The value of B.C. exports—wood, agrifoods and other resources—to China has increased by 375 per cent over the last 10 years. This past mis-
sion was one of our most successful ever, and the 45 agreements signed in China will add an estimated $1.4 billion worth of trade and invest-ment to our economy.
The writer wrongly assumes that the sums reflected in the news release issued is the total value of the deals made on the last mission. The figures are those of companies who chose to make statements on the value of their deals signed. Other companies share figures with gov-ernment on condition that govern-ment respects the confidentiality of their business agreements to main-tain their competitiveness. It’s the sum total of both those groups that reflect the estimates of the value of deals made during the mission.
The writer also fails to acknowl-edge the importance of building relationships with senior executives and government officials in powerful and emerging economies. Nothing takes the place of face-to-face meet-ings and discussion of shared inter-ests to spark ideas and help make B.C. top of mind when future oppor-tunities present themselves.
Over the past decade our work around attracting foreign direct invest-ment has facilitated $14.5 billion into our economy. All in all, a pretty good return on investment for taxpayers.

MP didn’t question our security forcesEditor:
Re: Strahl needs to support our new government, letters Dec. 3 Chilli-wack Times.
In my recent editorial on the Syri-an refugee crisis, far from complain-ing about the Trudeau government’s decision to break its campaign com-mitment to bring 25,000 Syrian ref-ugees into Canada before the year’s end, I applauded it. I’m glad that the Liberals have agreed with the Conservative Party and immigration experts that their original time table was not realistic.
At no time have I ever questioned the competency of the RCMP, CSIS, or CBSA. When it comes to process-ing new immigrants while ensuring the security of Canadians, we have the world’s best.
However, these professional men
and women need time to do the tasks government sets for them. Again, I’m glad that the Liberals now understand this and have decided to extend the arbitrary deadline they set in the heat of an election campaign, and am happy to support their decision.
The Official Opposition will support the government when it deserves to be supported and when it does not, I will not hesitate to stand up for the interests of my constitu-ents and hold this government to account.

Fitness staff sorry for gym closureEditor:
The staff from the ladies fitness gym on Yale Road West in Chilli-wack that closed on Nov. 29 would like to have the opportunity to apol-ogize to the members.
We were not given any notice to pass on to our members. We are all very disappointed that the mem-bers and the employees were not treated with respect. If it had not been for a concerned member who messaged one of us the evening of Sunday, Nov. 29 to find out if the gym was getting new equipment or if the equipment was being stolen we would have been there on Mon-day morning with you to find noth-ing but a note on the door.
We would also like to wish you and your families a safe and happy holiday season and look forward to seeing you in the community.

Another great night at seniors’ dinnerEditor:
Thank you to all the seniors who attended and supported the Seniors’ Christmas Dinner on Dec. 2 at Chilli-wack secondary school. Once again, the dinner was sold-out with 200 folks attending.
Upon arriving in the “Grand Hall” the tables were adorned with white tablecloths with red and green nap-kins in water glasses which presented for a very festive touch for the season.
Many thanks to teaching chef Ter-ry McDougall, chef instuctor Sharon Touchet, baker Christine Cutajar and Chef Garde Manger Judith Booker for creating and serving us a delicious turkey dinner with all the trimmings.
The culinary arts students and the student volunteers are to be com-mended for a job well done. Many comments of how the volunteers were friendly and helpful throughout the evening.

Yarrow MB Church
During this time of year, Christians around the world anticipate the coming Christ during
the season of Advent. Jesus Christ came to us as a
helpless baby in a manger. Jesus came as the image of the invisible God, whom we are called to reflect. It is Jesus who comes into our lives each and every day that we allow him to. It is Jesus, the Christ, who speaks to us by his Spirit and invites us to be a part of his minis-try. It’s Jesus who is coming back soon, clothed in majesty, to rule a reign for eternity.
During our last Sunday service we lit the candle of hope and shared about the hope that we have as followers of Jesus. The Gos-pel of John speaks of Christ as the true light coming into the world: John 1:1-5 – “In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and nothing was
created except through him. The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.”
It is significant that the church has always used the language—the coming of Christ—because it speaks to a deep truth. Christ is coming. Christ is always entering a troubled world, a wounded heart. And so we light the first candle, the candle of hope and dare to express our longing for peace, for healing, and the well-being of all creation.
The candle that we light stands as a symbol of light, of new life and of hope.
Of light because light is a physi-cal thing that cannot be overcome by dark. In the realm of physics, darkness is the absence of visi-ble light. Darkness can absorb a certain amount of light but soon enough it is overcome and a light shines in the darkness. So it is with Christ.
As we open up the dark places in our lives to the healing light of Jesus, he takes on that darkness for us. He transforms and overcomes
all so that we may walk in new life in the light of Christ.
Of new life because when we walk in the light of Christ we are set free from the things that used to bind us; for example, shame. To be “shame bound” is to live with a feeling of unworthiness that eats away at the core sense of your well-being. This is not healthy and not the way God desires you to live. When someone brings this dark place to the healing light of Christ, they allow His light to overcome that darkness and a new life, free from that pain, is what will be left.
Of hope because Jesus is our merciful High Priest; as Eugene Peterson puts it, “The word mercy means that the upward look to the heavens does not expect God to stay in the heavens, but to come down, to enter our condition, to accomplish the vast enterprise of redemption, to fashion in us his eternal salvation.”
Where do you find hope today?

CHILLIWACK TIMES Thursday, December 10, 2015 A11
BY GREG LAYCHAK
It was a split weekend for the Chilliwack Chiefs as the team won a high scoring match against the visiting Coquitlam Express on Friday (9-4) but then gave up a
close game in overtime to the Nanaimo Clip-pers the following night (2-1).
Their results kept the Chiefs in first, but the fight for top spot in the BCHL Mainland remains a close one, with Chilliwack only two points ahead of the ever-pressing Wenatchee Wild as the Times goes to print. (Wenatchee played in Coquitlam Wednesday, and a win would tie them with Chilliwack.)
Though Friday’s game started with an early two-point lead from the Express, the Chiefs’ response was a five-goal streak that lasted into the second period.
Captain Jordan Kawaguchi scored the first two goals for Chilliwack to even the score at 2-2. His teammate defender Zach Giuttari
scored his first goal of his junior A career and Kale Kane followed, still in the first period to add a two-point lead.
At under a minute into the second frame Kawaguchi scored again, earning his first hat-trick in the BCHL.
After an Express goal from Owen Stout, Kane nabbed his second of the game, fol-lowed by Chiefs’ lead scorer Vimal Sukuma-ran’s short-hander late in the period to make it 5-3.
Darien Craighead and Jake Smith each scored in the final frame before Coquitlam’s Colton Kerfoot’s power play goal, the last of the game to make it 9-4 at the end.
Chilliwack out-shot the Express 57-18 and scored two of their three power play opportu-nities.
Goalie Matteo Esposito earned his last win before heading to Leduc, Alta., the next day with Sukumaran, Kawaguchi, Kohen Olischef-ski, and defenceman Dennis Cholowski to vie for a chance to play for Team Canada.
They left the Chiefs to draw on team depth for the Nanaimo Clippers game Saturday, in a low-point game that stretched into overtime.
Giuttari opened scoring in the contest with his goal just past the halfway mark in period two.
Two minutes later Nanaimo’s Devin Bros-seau answered putting the game at 1-1 where it stayed until the third frame buzzer, taking the stalemate into extra time.
Clipper Matthew Hoover slipped the puck past Chilliwack’s Aidan Pelino with only 23 seconds on the OT clock to win it for Nanaimo, ending the Chief’s latest winning streak at three.
Chilliwack plays a three-game weekend coming up with Thursday and Friday games in Prince George followed by a 5 p.m. home game against Merritt on Sunday.
Any Chiefs who make the Team Canada ros-ter will be away until after the final is played on Dec. 19, staying in Cobourg and Whitby, Ont.

Chiefs will have to dig deeper now
Teddy bear toss set for Sunday
BarryDouglasChiefs Report
Where can you receive thun-derstix, toss a
teddy bear or toque on the ice, cheer on a team vying for first place and enjoy a free skate?
The answer is Prospera Centre, this Sunday at 5 p.m., when the Chiefs host the Merritt Centennials. Fraser Valley Distance Education School will be handing out thunderstix to the first 1,000 people through the doors and fans are encouraged to bring teddy bears and or toques to toss on the ice after the Chiefs score their first goal. The stuff-ies and winter garments will be collected and given to those in need via Chilliwack Community Services. I should mention that our local Value Village has been gathering teddy bears and will bring them to the game.
While the Chiefs are battling for first spot in the Mainland Division with Wenatchee and Langley, Merritt is in a dogfight to try and nail down a play-off spot in the Interior Division. The Cents, with their 10 wins and 20 losses, are currently eight points from a post-season berth and the game on Sunday will be their third in three days. Merritt will be in Nanaimo on Friday and Powell River on Saturday.
This Sunday’s game will feature a skate with the Chiefs following the game, and skate rentals are avail-able. This is also the final home game for the boys until after Christmas.
This Sunday’s game is the first of three The Book Man reads with the Chiefs game nights. Chiefs’ players have been very busy during the months of October, November and December reading to students in various class-rooms throughout our region. Kids from Green-dale elementary, Cultus Lake elementary, Sardis elementary, St. Mary’s ele-mentary, Rosedale Tradio-nal, Treehouse Children’s Centre, Little Mountain elementary, Little Foot-steps Child Care Centre and Coquihalla elementary in Hope will be cheering on the Chiefs. I have a feeling the bouncy castle from Fra-ser Valley Party rentals will be a tad busy.
A reminder the first game after Christmas is the Chiefs annual Fill the Rink for the Salvation Army Food Bank. Fans are encouraged to donate a non-perishable food, if you do, you can attend the Dec. 30 game for only $6 when the Chiefs host the Langley Rivermen.
There is still a lot of time for you to pick up the annual Chiefs Christmas pack. This holiday season’s pack includes four flex tickets and $20 gift certif-icate to the Chiefs store $49.95 plus tax. Contact Andrea at the Chiefs office and she will hook you up.

Grade 8 Griz drop final gameG.W. Graham’s Grade 8 boys’ foot-ball team lost their championship game 39-12 against league rivals Abbotsford at Abbotsford middle school at the end of last month. The two teams didn’t meet in the AA conference regular season and both went into the playoffs undefeated (7-0). Abbotsford had 309 points for and only six points against in their regular season games, while GWG scored 291 while allowing 76 this year in reg-ular play.
Abby Christian conquers StormAbbotsford Christian secondary school took top spot in the 36th Chilliwack Storm Classic tourna-ment beating Valleyview second-ary in the finals 66-59. Third place team Semiahmoo beat Sardis sec-ondary in the consolation match. And hosts Chilliwack secondary lost to Valleyview in their first game and then fell by small mar-gins in their two other games over the three days of play last week.
Bowen makes the listJason Bowen, a Chilliwack A1 (PCBHL), player made Hock-eyNow’s 2016 Minor Hockey Play-er of the Year - November list. The
listing included a description of Bowen, saying he is “equally adept at scoring goals as he is at passing the puck,” and is “a well-rounded talent on offence with many weapons in his arsenal.” The list-ing also took into account the fact that Bowen had tied for scoring lead at the recent Tim Jardine Bantam AAA Showcase and was selected to the all star team. Each month through the hockey sea-son, HockeyNow releases a list of
the top 10 minor players in B.C., Alberta and Ontario and counts down to the July 2016 issue when the winners will be announced.
Athlete of the weekChilliwack’s Dayton Pagliericci of the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) men’s volleyball team was named the PacWest men’s volley-ball athlete of the week last week. The UFV men’s volleyball team is 7-5 and ranked No. 15.

Howden following Olympic dreamLocal skier Reece Howden was recently chosen as a Canada Ski Cross NextGen Prospect, giving him the opportunity to qualify for the Junior Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway in February. The 17-year-old is the youngest on the team and is now a carded athlete with Alpine Canada, funded through Sport Canada. Howden’s first big race was at Whistler Cup when he was only 12. First in the Olympics in 2010, ski cross pits four skiers in a head-to-head race on a course that has step-up jumps, table top jumps, and sees competitors cover distances up to 70 feet in the air at close proximity to each other.

knocked on a man’s door, told him he had been in a car accident and said he needed $200 for a tow truck. The man drove him to a bank at which time Quinnell said he left his bank card at home. The man lent him $200, and when they parted, the man realized Quinnell hadn’t just absconded with the cash but also stolen his camera, charger and other items from his house.
He was eventually arrested Jan. 2, 2015 after a scam in Agassiz that involved an 80-year-old woman and her husband. The woman drove Quinnell somewhere and the husband got suspicious, even-tually calling 911.
Chilliwack RCMP, aware of the string of crimes, raced to Agassiz and eventually arrested Quinnell after a short foot chase.
Quinnell’s lawyer Ali Yusuf painted a picture of a man addict-ed to crack cocaine, desperate for money. Yusuf told the court he was “in the throes of a drug addic-tion” and he was shaking during some of the crimes.
“It doesn’t excuse it, but it does explain it,” he said.
In all the cases, the victims were elderly, trusting and many recounted, contrary to his lawyer’s description, that Quinnell was calm, measured and a “smooth talker.”
As Crown counsel Carolyn Kramer recounted the 22 cases, at one point Judge Wendy Young interrupted to ask Kramer about what looked like detailed planning
in advance of the crimes. “In some of these he ‘cased the
joint’ if I can use that expression, in that he knew the name of other people in the neighbour-hood?” Young asked.
“They were feeling the neighbourhood was cased,” Kramer said.
Crown coun-sel Anna Tosso submitted a binder with 16 victim impact statements to the judge. Many of those affected felt very embarrassed about what happened.
“In many of these cases, trust has been shat-tered,” Tosso said.
Some have made chang-es to their homes, others have changed behaviours, lost sleep, increased their distrust of strangers and even curbed donations and other help-ful behaviour they did in the past.
As Tosso summarized the victim impact statements, a fam-ily member of Quinnell’s in the gallery started to cry. His father
and another family member also attended part of the proceedings.
After the Crown and defence submissions, Quinnell read from
a prepared statement. He stood up, turned his back to his family members and faced the front of the court-room and had considerable difficulty speak-ing, seemingly overcome with emotion.
“I want to apologize to Chilliwack and citi-zens for the crimes I committed out here,” he said in part. “I preyed on their good nature so I could
use crack cocaine.”
Quinnell apologized to his family and his fiancee who has stuck with him through the case. He also spoke to
his addictions, how he overdosed twice last year and said he is not a violent person.
“I’m at the mercy of this court to not give up on me,” Quinnell said. “I truly am a good person when cocaine is not ruining my life.”
After the hearing, the three remaining victims who stuck around mostly agreed that Quin-nell appeared less to be apologiz-ing to them and more feeling sorry for himself.
Defence and Crown made a joint sentencing submission of five years jail minus credit for one year of “dead time” since he was arrested Jan. 2.
This is not the first time Quin-nell has been involved in fraud and thefts. In 2008, he was sen-tenced to six years in prison in Calgary after he was convicted of going to seniors complexes on the pretence of selling fresh fish, alco-hol, cigarettes and other items. He would take cash and disappear and, as in the Chilliwack and Agassiz cases, he would steal money, wallets or credit cards.
While the sentence requested by the Crown in the current case is lower than the 2008 sentence, the latter involved more money (more than $15,000) and more victims. At that sentencing hearing his law-yer said Quinnell had a “patholog-ical gambling addiction.”
“He was caught before this got to the size that it got in Calgary,” Kramer told the judge last week.
Earlier in 2008, Quinnell also pleaded guilty to a similar string of scams in Vancouver and was hand-ed a 25-month prison sentence.
Young will hand down her sen-tence on Dec. 17.

Chilliwack Mounties are using a 23-year-o l d ma n f a c i n g
impaired driving charges as an example of their crackdown on the roads.
Mounties launched December ’s Counter Attack campaign on the Vedder Road overpass last Friday as police ramp up impaired driving inter-vention over the holidays.
Officers of Chilliwack RCMP Traffic Services supported by Fraser Valley Traffic Services and Chil-liwack Speed Watch con-ducted enforcement and were joined by volunteers from Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) who passed educational pamphlets regarding the perils of impaired driving to motorists.
During the evening-long operation police checked 229 vehicles serving one Motor Vehicle Act (MVA) three-day immediate roadside prohibition as well as a 24-hour driving prohibition to drivers’ for alcohol-related offences. In total eight further tick-ets, including an excessive speeding citation, were
issued to drivers during the night.
The crackdown comes just two days after RCMP say another man is under investigation for impaired driving.
On Dec. 2 at approxi-mately 10:30 p.m. police received a report of a pickup truck weaving across Prest Road near Prairie Central Road.
M o u n t i e s q u i c k l y pulled the driver over on Highway 1 near Evans Road. Police will be sub-mitting a report to Crown counsel later this month to recommend charges of impaired driving, driv-ing a motor vehicle over .08 and an MVA charge of driving while prohibited.
Operation Red Nose pro-vides another safe option for getting home safely from a party. Operation Red Nose can be called on Fridays and Saturdays after 9 p.m. during the month of December at 604-393-3000. For more information regarding Operation Red Nose visit operationrednose.com.

and spiritually draining, it’s a cross the Walls are happy to bear.
“It can be heartbreaking,” says Rob. “You can get to thinking that the hole is too deep. But, it helps to think that I can only do what I can do today. I need to be available and be open to God’s leading everyday.”
And Rob is the first one to tell you
that Brenda is as much an equal part-ner, if not more so, than him when it comes to OLOCM.
“We have the same purpose,” she says. “We also have the support of our kids, friends and the community.”
The Walls help support OLOCM through their Chilliwack-based con-
struction company. But their com-mitment to the ministry is very time consuming. Rob spends upwards of five months out of the country each year, but credits the Internet for help-ing him to keep his construction busi-ness thriving.
“You don’t have to be independently
wealthy to do this,” he says.Rob and Brenda also give credit to
the amazing support staff that sur-round them.
“We have great staff in Mexico and Canada that make all we do possible.”
“And bottom line,” they say, “those who think mission work is too daunt-
ing or not for them, only need to give it a chance. But also take home what they’ve learned and bring it back to the community that sent them.”
“Don’t warm a pew,” implores Rob. “It takes an entire community to bring wholeness.” For more information on One Life One Chance Ministries and how you can help, visit their website at www.onelifeonechance.ca.

Towers and Trees play Acoustic EmporiumVictoria indie rockers Towers and Trees will play the Acoustic Emporium on Friday, Jan. 8 following the release of their first full-length album, The West Coast. Known for Montreal and infectious online covers, Towers and Trees is led by lead singer/sole-songwriter, Adrian Chalifour. The West Coast is both a homage to his home province B.C. and a reflection of a very turbulent time in his life—the end of his 12-year relation-ship and seven-year marriage. Don’t expect anything dreary though, as Adrian put it, “this album is about believing in love in the midst of losing it.” Its upbeat songs and wide sound, like the vast west coast shoreline, will have you feeling inspired from the start.

The trees are up, the lights are twin-kling, and the halls are decked (with poinsettias, not boughs of holly),
meaning one very special thing—the fes-tive season is upon us.
And this time of year comes with a cou-ple of exciting highlights for The Centre. One being the fact that we’re incredibly already halfway through our 2015/16 presentation season (we’ll be planning for the next before we know it), and the sec-ond being—Christmas shows.
Displaying the exciting talent of Chilli-wack’s own fine arts elementary school, F.G. Leary’s A Party in a Pear Tree will be a delightful insight into what our commu-nity’s young artists explore through their education. This local theme continues with Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra’s own Christmas performance—a night devoted to Handel’s iconic oratorio, Mes-siah. The Centre’s trio of Christmas shows will be next (and the community clearly has its priorities in order here), with Christmas with The Vancouver Welsh Men’s Choir, Winter Harp, and Sing-along with Frozen already sold out—a nice little early Christmas gift for us.
Behind the next window in your enter-tainment advent calendar will be A Cele-bration of Christmas with the Chilliwack Metropolitan Orchestra, whose diverse performance will feature the gospel flair of guest performer Crystal Hicks, as well as the talents of local dance troupe The
Crucible Dance. Finally, the run up to the big day will conclude with a visit to Chil-liwack from the amazing Ballet Victoria, who will partner up with Chilliwack’s own dance school Creative Outlet for a perfor-mance of the Nutcracker Ballet.
Of course it isn’t just in the theatre that you’ll find your dose of arts and culture this December. And in my view, one of the most exciting presentations to be featured in our facility as 2015 winds down to a close is currently hanging in the O’Connor Group Art Gallery. ‘…It Speaks to Me’, an exhibition by Sto:lo artist Bon Graham-Krulicki, incorporates many moods, emotions, and forms of visual media, yet expresses it all through the per-spective and theme of traditional Sto:lo culture. This moving exhibition will be on display until Jan. 2, and I would strongly encourage you to experience the work of a fantastic local artist.
And we’ve also got an extra bit of excit-ing news for the local theatre aficionado. The Centre is once again participating in the C-Pass. Consisting of a package of 10

Escape the winter cold and enter an exciting world of creativity with Chilliwack Cultural Centre’s brand
new range of fantastic Arts & Crafts class-es, beginning January 2016.
It might be chilly and dark outside, but The Centre will be illuminated with vibrant and exciting creativity, with art-ists exploring all kinds of inspiration, from turning beautiful ceramic pieces on the potters’ wheel and creating jewellery to honing their photography skills and exploring watercolour. The options are vast and the creativity is in full flow, so why not explore your inner artist at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre this winter?
With a new and updated range of classes, as well as multiple courses for select programs, The Centre’s arts and crafts classes have expanded in scope and opportunity once again. Whether you’re looking to build your skills in your favourite art form, start a new hobby, or finally take a leap into discovering what kind of creative fun is for you, The Centre has a class to fit your needs. Through-out the year artists will use the facility to learn how to craft their own jewellery sets using the ancient art of flamework, sculpt a striking human form in clay using a life model as inspiration, and even photo-graph the spectacular dancers of Ballet Jorgen when they come to Chilliwack for a special Valentine’s performance of Sleep-ing Beauty. You can perfect your illus-tration techniques, build beautiful and functional pottery items, and learn how to create personalized homemade soaps. Begin your own artistic journey—all you need to do is sign up to one of The Cen-tre’s arts and crafts classes.
Along with expanding the variety of classes for 2016, The Centre will also be introducing an extended format for indi-
vidual programs. Select classes will run twice throughout the first half of 2016, allowing students to plan what best works for their schedules. If you’d love to take the Clay Creators: Wheel Throwing class for example, but just don’t have the time in January, there’s a second course begin-ning in March so you don’t have to miss out. It’s the best way to enable new artists to make the most of the programming, and gives you more freedom to match your creativity to your needs.
Of course it isn’t just the adults that get to have all the fun. The Centre has expanded its programming for young art-ists as well. Kids have more options than ever before to get an early start on an art form, with performing arts, clay, and dig-ital film-making classes sitting alongside a bunch of fun crafts sessions in our pro-gramming. But the news for the aspiring artists doesn’t stop there, the excitement of The Centre’s After School Art Camps will continue from the fall programming into the New Year. This range of week-long, Monday to Friday sessions encour-age kids to explore their creativity in a fun and friendly environment, and pro-vides the opportunity for making friends, getting artistic, and creating memorable projects to take home.
With The Centre’s early registration discount, you can also save while you unleash your inner artist. Sign up for a class four weeks in advance of the start date to save an amazing 10 per cent on registration fees.
This is just a glimpse of the excitement coming up at The Chilliwack Cultural Centre in the coming months, but for the full picture just visit www.chillliwackcu-lutralcentre.ca/classes. You can also call The Centre Box Office at 604-391-SHOW(7469) to register for classes today.
vouchers, each of which is redeemable for tickets to shows presented by one of our local performance groups, the C-Pass is a fantastic way to experience the variety of creative events that take place throughout our community. Available from both The Centre Box Office and the Art Room on Vedder, there could be no better gift for that creative family member or friend this Christmas.
So there you go. If you were wondering how to get your creative and cultural fix this December, hopefully one of the many events taking place at The Centre in the next few weeks will become an artistic early Christmas present for you this year.
And if you were thinking of giving the gift of the arts to a loved one this year, make sure to check out The Centre’s gift certifi-cates—they’re the perfect stocking stuffer.
As always, you can contact The Cen-tre Box Office on 604-391-SHOW(7469) for tickets and other details, or visit our website at chilliwackculturalcentre.ca for more info.
