› Cover Story Crown seeks jail time for Tiller

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON

[email protected]

The exhibit custodian convicted of stealing thousands of dol-lars from the Chilliwack RCMP

detachment should go to jail.That was the argument of Crown

Counsel Louisa Winn at the sen-tencing hearing for Jaime Tiller in BC Supreme Court in Chilliwack last week.

But Tiller’s lawyer, Gurpreet Gill, argued a conditional discharge was suitable or, at worst, a conditional sentence order.

“Conditional sentences can be just as deterrent as real time,” Gill argued.

Tiller wept openly on Aug. 14 as she was convicted by a jury of stealing $2,800 from three files in the exhibit room at the Chilliwack detachment.

She was first charged with theft of close to $40,000 connected to 19 RCMP exhibits, but the Crown could only prove three.

In court on Dec. 17, Winn attempt-ed to illustrate how serious even just three breaches of trust were because charges were dropped in two cases as a result of stolen money.

It was an amazing ending to a year Charmaine Aiken would rather have forgotten.Aiken was pleasantly surprised when she

walked through the front door of Fix Auto last Friday to discover she was this year’s Christmas Car Giveaway winner.

“It was definitely a surprise,” said a tearful Aiken, surrounded by friends and family. “I did not expect anything like this; it’s just a really great surprise.”

Thanking all those who partnered together to make the annual car giveaway possible, Aiken repeated how much she appreciated the gift of a beautifully reconditioned 1998 Toyota Corolla

and what it would mean to her life moving for-ward.

“This just made my Christmas,” she said. “I was bah hum bugging it, but that’s all changed.”

Aiken was nominated by friend Katrina Clow, who outlined in her submission to the contest judges how difficult a year it had been for Aiken and what reliable transportation would mean.

Aiken started the year off with a vehicle, but unfortunately lent it to a friend who totalled it in an accident. The ICBC settlement wasn’t enough to buy another vehicle and so Aiken started using a bicycle to make her way to work at a local Tim Hortons. Once again, tragedy struck in the form of a heartless thief who

A small group of employ-ees from a local business had a Christmas party Monday that was literally

out of this world.And while the private screen-

ing of the new Star Wars movie planned by Kaseya employees would have been cool on its own for the 15 or so workers, an act of generosity took the day up a notch.

That’s because the company invited Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Fraser Valley to fill most of the otherwise empty seats in the the-atre for a 9 a.m. screening of The Force Awakens at Galaxy Cinemas Chilliwack.

“This is such a wonderful ges-ture that this company is doing,” said Collette Bohach, Chilliwack

mentoring co-ordinator for the local Big Brothers Big Sisters.

“It’s just so amazing and gen-erous.”

Kaseya has a small Chilli-wack office but is part of a large, multi-national global information technology (IT) corporation. The local company headed by chief technology officer Dana Epp is formerly known as Scorpion Soft-ware but was purchased by Kaseya last year.

Epp says he figured inviting the Big Brothers Big Sisters was a great way to share with many kids who otherwise wouldn’t get the chance to see what is turning out to be one of the most talked about mov-ies of all time.

Epp’s daughter, Vanessa, is also a Kaseya employee and was the driving force behind the event, because she is also a Big Sister. It was her idea to spread the love,

but she said the whole office had to agree.

“We pitched it to them first, because it’s their party, so if they didn’t want to do it we wouldn’t have,” Vanessa said. “But they were all ecstatic. . . . Why not give back to the community?”

For an office of IT profession-als, having a Christmas party at a science fiction blockbuster was great all by itself, but including the children and their families and/or their mentors made it even better.

“The part that is really cool is to see the kids,” Vanessa said. “One of the things that I wanted was to pick kids who couldn’t necessarily go to the movies, kids from bigger families or maybe their financials aren’t there. Getting to see them be really excited about it is really great.”

Bohach agrees.“It’s a new movie and I knew a

lot of our ‘littles’ will want to see it,” she said. “So to be able to give them that is so amazing. Going to a movie is an expensive outing, over $100 for a family of four.”

And while the kids involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters were excited beforehand and happy to be there Monday, with a movie franchise nearly 40 years old, the excitement spread to the adults too.

“I’m giddy,” Bohach said before the screening. “I’m bouncing off the walls.”


Local company Kaseya held a private screening of Star Wars: The Force Awakens on Monday and invited Big Brothers Big Sisters to fill the theatre.

“This is such a wonder-ful gesture that this

company is doing. It’sjust so amazing and

generous.”- Collette Bohach

A man who stole or defrauded thousands of dollars from dozens of elderly people in

Chilliwack and Agassiz was sen-tenced to four years in jail in Chilli-wack provincial court last Thursday.

Donald Quinnell pleaded guilty to 22 counts of fraud and theft under $5,000—he was original-ly charged with 15 counts of fraud and 14 counts of theft—for a string of incidents before and over Christ-mas of 2014.

Quinnell preyed upon vulnerable, older and trusting individuals with complicated, confusing and calcu-lated scams.

He had a variety of scams: In some he would convince a Good Samaritan to “lend” him money for a tow truck after a supposed acci-dent, others were giving someone a deal on carpets or appliances, oth-ers were simple distraction thefts.

“These offences can only be seen as predatory in nature and pre-meditated,” Judge Wendy Young said in handing down her sentence Dec. 17.

“Their collective trust has been shattered,” Young said as she recounted parts of the 16 victim impact statements provided to the court.

His defence claimed these were crimes of opportunity by a drug-ad-dicted man, but the research into the names of neighbours and famil-

iarity with some victim’s situations illustrated quite the opposite.

Young recounted all 22 cases in court, which included: stealing $100 and a camera from a man; convincing a woman to give him $600 to buy appliances; stealing a wallet with $100 and irreplace-able photos of grandchildren; and taking more than $400 in cash in an envelope in a tea cozy from a 93-year-old woman in her retire-ment home.

Victims said they no longer trust-ed people at their door, others complained of a loss of sleep, one man said he has spent money to retrofit his house with security, and yet another woman complained of having to spend Christmas giving statements to police.

“There collective trust has been shattered,” Young told the court.

Young agreed to a joint submis-sion from Crown and defence for a sentence of five years, with credit for one year Quinnell has already served in pre-trial custody. She pointed to his long criminal record for similar offences.

And while this is less than the six-year sentence he received in 2008 in Calgary for a similar string of frauds and thefts, there were many more victims in that case, more money involved, and, in the Chilli-

wack case, his guilty plea saved the courts and the victims the difficul-ty of what would have been a long and complicated trial.

Still, Quinnell offered little if any sympathy for the victims of his crimes, instead in a tearful apology at his sentencing hearing on Dec. 3 he mostly wept for the hurt he had caused his family and himself.

“I truly am a good person when cocaine is not ruining my life,” he said.

His lawyer also complained that Quinnell had been beaten up twice at the North Fraser Pre-Trial Cen-tre when fellow inmates found out what he had done.

Quinnell has a spouse who is sticking by his side. He also has a two-and-a-half-year-old child, a baby that he used in at least one of the scams in the current file and in another in a prior conviction.

The Crown did not seek resti-tution of the lost money, pointing to the small chance of success in recovering the cash. As for a vic-tim impact surcharge, this is usu-ally calculated at $200 per offence, which would have meant a $4,400 bill upon his release. Instead, it is customary to order one day in custody for every $100, and Young granted this 44 days in custody to be served concurrently.

“It ’s st i l l a ser ious breach of trust by a public official,” Winn argued.

In another file, money was stolen that had been discovered by police in the bedstand of a person who ended up dead, and who is the subject of a cold-case homicide.

“The money was poten-tially evidence in the cold case,” Winn said.

The case against Til-ler, who was a municipal employee in her role as exhibit custodian at the Chilliwack RCMP detach-ment, included no direct evidence but was entirely circumstantial in nature.

That circumstantial evi-dence included the fact that in one instance in 2011, Tiller deposited 42 $20 bills, 12 $10 bills and eight $5 bills into a bank account, for a total of $1,000. Those denomina-tions matched precisely money missing from an exhibit file.

Two other stolen exhib-its—one of $1,000 and one of $800—also were made up of denomina-tions matching precisely amounts deposited into Tiller’s own and her land-lord’s bank accounts.

At the sentencing hear-ing, Winn addressed case law, including the case of April Smith who was convicted earl i-er this year of stealing more than $116,000 from police exhibits in Mis-sion. Smith, who had a gambling addiction, was sentenced to 18 months in prison.

Winn pointed out that jail time was given in the Smith case even though she entered a guilty plea and was apologetic about what she did.

In the Tiller case, how-ever, even after the con-victions, she has not only not apologized, she denies the thefts.

“She’s not engaged in minimization, she has engaged in full denial,” Winn said.

At the end of the sen-tencing hearing Dec. 17, Tiller apologized for the length of time the case has been in the courts, but she maintained her inno-cence.

Justice Miriam Gropper is scheduled to sentence Tiller on Jan. 6.

Cocaine, heroin, firearms, Kevlar vests, luxury cars and thousands of dollars in cash were seized and

five people face charges after a series of police raids at five Chilli-wack properties last week.

Police were led to the properties after a four-month-long investiga-tion into a dial-a-dope organiza-tion operating from two locations within the city limits.

On Dec. 15, police from the Chilliwack RCMP Crime Reduc-tion Unit supported by officers of the Crime Prevention Office, Seri-ous Crime Unit, Traffic Services, General Duty and Agassiz General Investigation Section executed five separate Controlled Drug and Sub-

stance Act search warrants.Police began the series of raids

at a residence in the 43000 block of Alamada Street followed by the execution of warrants in the 9200 block of Hazel Street, the 7400 block of Leary Street, the 9100 block of Mary Street before finish-ing at a location in the 7300 block of Lickman Road.

Five people were taken into cus-tody by officers during the execu-tion of the search warrants during which police seized a large quan-tity of cocaine, crack cocaine, methamphetamine, chemicals used in the production of meth-amphetamine, heroin, material believed by police to be for pack-aging of product, several firearms,

thousands of dollars in cash, luxu-ry cars, and Kevlar vests.

The five suspects were later released from custody. Police will submit a report to federal Crown Counsel later this month of all cir-cumstances of the investigation for their assessment of Control Drug and Substance Act charges of trafficking in substance and possession for the purpose of traf-ficking.

“This RCMP investigation will have a direct impact toward pre-venting the production and sale of illegal drugs by organized crime in our region which in turn makes our community safer,” Chilliwack RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Mike Rail said in a press release.

‘Tis the season of lists and stock-ing stuffers of economic fore-casts.

But instead of soothsaying over what could happen in 2016, a look back at B.C.’s economic performance over the past few years might be more illuminating.

Deciphering economic forecasts is a murky task anyways, not that interpret-ing statistics is any less risky.

Consider the reaction of natural gas minister Rich Coleman to a recent report by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives: “There’s two things I don’t believe any more, polls, and anything written by the centre.”

So to avoid that my stat is better than your stat taunt, automatic default to some of the B.C. government’s preferred statistical sources.

Coleman shouldn’t take issue with Statistics Canada, RBC Economics or BC Stats served straight up. Particularly the latter, citizens’ services minister Amrik Virk is in charge of that one.

Take a gander at the government’s economic report cards and one thing becomes readily apparent: an almost virtual absence of inter-provincial com-parisons.

Good reason for that, compared to Alberta, Ontario and Quebec, B.C.

doesn’t always stack up so well when it comes to job creation, economic expan-sion, exports or investments.

When Christy Clark was sworn in as premier, the employment numbers she inherited from former premier Gordon Campbell would have been for February 2011.

On the jobs front, that’s her baseline. The latest numbers from Statistics Canada are for November 2015, 58 months in all. In that time, B.C. has cre-ated 82,900 new jobs. Alberta created 222,000, Ontario (245,600), and Quebec (131,900).

It works out to about 17,150 jobs on average per year, a little more than half the number (33,800) created annually between 2001 and 2010.

While 2.34 million people are working in the province, more than one in five (21.5 per cent) are holding down part-time jobs, the highest rate among the four provinces.

In 2011, B.C.’s unemployment rate was

8.8 per cent. Last month, it was 6.2 per cent, the lowest of the four.

But that rate is camouflaging some-thing worrisome: the size of the prov-ince’s labour force is practically stagnant.

Between 2011 and 2015, it grew by 0.8 per cent or 20,200 workers. In Alberta, it went up by 12.3 per cent, Ontario (2.4), and Quebec (3.1).

And the participation rate—the pool of potential labour—has been steadily falling, counter to the government’s fore-cast in 2009, when it predicted the rate would continue to rise from the 66.6 per cent set in 2008.

Last month, it was 64.1 per cent, lower than it was 35 years ago. In Alberta, it was 72.9 per cent, Ontario (65.1) and Quebec (64.5).

To take a look at broader economic indicators, it’s all RBC Economics and BC Stats.

Between 2010 and 2014, the provincial economy (GDP) expanded by $34.1 billion. Quebec’s economy grew by $50.8 billion, Ontario ($109.5 billion) and Alberta ($112.3 billion).

Since it’s not an entirely fair compari-son—as the four economies vary in size and composition—consider that B.C.’s share of Canada’s GDP was 12.6 per cent in 2010 and 12.0 per cent in 2014.

The value of B.C. exports in 2010 was $28.64 billion and $35.77 billion in 2014.

Not bad, until you learn that it was $34.16 billion in 2005 .

In 2010, B.C. was in ninth place among the provinces for international exports as a percentage of GDP with 24.9 per cent.

By 2014, we moved up to eighth place, just ahead of P.E.I. and Nova Scotia. However, the value of B.C. exports fell to 22.4 per cent of GDP.

In Alberta, the rate was 34.9 per cent, Ontario (33.6) and Quebec (27.7).

The government’s list of potential investments—valued at $350.1 billion —reads more like a Christmas wish list than an inventory of shovel ready projects.

Best to let the Business Council of B.C. handle this one: “Digging into the details and reviewing the factors behind some of the biggest proposed projects suggest that the inventory is inflated by a number of projects that ultimately may not proceed.”

The Olympics would be a dull affair if medals were only awarded for personal bests. Provincial bests are fine, but the realtest is how we perform against others.

OUR VIEW

We have good news and we have bad news.Sometimes we in the media hear that someone is

tired of reading the paper or watching the TV because of all the pain and strife and tragedy in the world.

Unfortunately most “news” is when something goes wrong, so it’s bad.

But there are exceptions to be sure and we literally do not have enough pages in our paper to talk about all thegood things happening in Chilliwack these days.

The giving, the sympathy, the charity is remarkable.In this paper alone there is the story of the little boy

being recognized by Vancouver Canuck Dan Hamhuis for handing out warm clothes to the less fortunate with his grandmother (page A16).

Then there is the local company Kaseya, which donated seats at a private screening of Star Wars to Big Brothers Big Sisters (page A5).

Then there is the annual Lions Wooden Toy Project providing beautiful wooden toys to kids across B.C. (page A23).

And don’t forget our annual Christmas car giveaway (page A3) helping change the life of a worthy young woman with the help of many local businesses.

So much good news it’s hard to keep up.

So much good news to share

Editor:I am just responding to the

letter I read in the Dec. 17 issue of the Chilliwack Times entitled “We have no power over forces of nature.”

I think you, as a newspaper, lose a lot of credibility by posting these opinion pieces. You, as a newspaper, have the responsi-bility to objectively inform the public, not dissuade with the opinions of ignorant and unedu-cated people that have eaten up propaganda from self-interest groups.

I would like to make a couple points responding to the arti-cle. First, we as a society have changed the forces of nature sev-eral times in the last century, not related to global warming. Take for example, the massive hole in the ozone layer from CFC emis-sions or the epidemic of acid rain from sulfur emissions in the ’70s and ’80s. Does anyone still deny that these aren’t caused by human activity?

My second point, the debate of whether smoking was dangerous or not in the ’50s and ’60s. In fact, there was credible evidence that smoking was dangerous in the ’20s. Even after conclusive evidence that smoking was dan-gerous, it was still be debated among the public for decades. Why? Because the tobacco companies paid advertisers and some corrupt scientists to, not disprove the evidence, but create doubt and false controversy. It also worked, delaying action for decades.

Now take a look at the sce-nario today. The oil industry is much larger than the tobacco industry, and there are more peer-reviewed studies proving human-caused global warming than there are peer-reviewed studies proving smoking causes cancer, it seems that the same plot that fooled gullible smoking advocates, is working again. Also, climate deniers do not gen-erate their own scientific studies, they only scrutinized small pieces of the ten of thousands of papers available to the scientific community.

My third point, carbon emis-sions are having other adverse effects on the plant. Take ocean acidification, which is undeni-ably related to CO2 emissions today, in which CO2 is con-verted to carbonic acid by Le Chateliers’ principle. This one is particularly scary issue that is often under-reported. Ocean acidification was the root cause of the largest extinction event in Earth’s history (Permian-Triassic

mass extinction event), killing 90 per cent of all marine species on the planet.

The evidence for climate change is overwhelming from multiple different scientific fields. Whether you look at the rising oceans, pH changes, changing ecosystems (e.g. pine beetle epidemic, coral reef col-lapse), retreating permafrost, retreating glaciers, and novel diseases to temperature zones (e.g. West Nile disease). The climate has changed in the past without human influences, but that was from changing orbits around the sun and tilt of Earth. These causes have been long since ruled out. Given that we burn 80 million barrels of oil a day (never mind coal and nat-ural gas), does it really surprise anyone that we are changing the composition of the atmosphere? That oil just doesn’t disappear when you burn it.

Just as a newspaper would not post the benefits of smoking in an opinion piece as it would be considered reckless, nor should it post pieces about global deniers.

Our community kept informedEditor:

I would like to thank you and the paper for making this feel like and become an involved community.

It’s been great to have a less than one-sided view of the world at election time and glad that people take the time to read and comment on matters that involve all of us.

Many thanks to a mayor and city council that voted on mat-ters with integrity in mind such as the Kinder Morgan gift . . . so proud of them for that and the gentlemen who raised the objections.

So from me, and hopefully so many others who call this home, I’d like to say Merry Christmas and thank you for serving our community and keeping us informed.

Need to address speed on VedderEditor:

Re: Traffic speed on Vedder Mountain Road.

I recently spent a couple of weeks in Yarrow visiting with my daughter, her husband and their three wonderful children. We attended many children/family functions in Chilliwack which were very enjoyable and well attended. Congrats to all the volunteer time and dedicat-ed staff for making Christmas a special time for children and families.

I really feel the need to bring your attention to the speed with which people travel on Vedder Mountain Road. At some points on Vedder Mountain Road the speed limit is 50 km/h and others 60 km/h. I feel these are safe speeds and well posted for drivers to be aware. My main concern is speeders and lack of police presence in monitoring this road.

One incident in particular, on a dark evening approximately 7 p.m. travelling 60 km/h the vehicle behind me decided to pass on a double solid line. I flashed my lights at him to let him know how unsafe this was. (Keep in mind his impatience/road rage could have involved myself, my daughter and my three grandchildren in a poten-tial accident.)

His reaction was to jam on his brakes and slow to 50 km/h for a short time I suppose to let me know how upset he was. Need-less to say I was happy to see him slow down even if it was for a short time. I notice very few pedestrians on this roadway and feel awful that my daughter does not feel safe with her chil-dren to walk anywhere along this roadway.

Even checking her mail is a frightening experience as there is not much parking room between the mailbox and road-way. The shoulders are very narrow which prevents anyone from feeling safe while walking this roadway. Reflective vests wouldn’t help as the speed is just too fast.

One other incident occurred

when we heard the school bus driver laying on the horn when another driver failed to stop for his red lights and stop sign. Four children got off the bus directly outside my daughter’s house. These children are forced to cross this busy road-way to reach the safety of their homes.

I need to add this is not a straight stretch in the road. The speed with which drivers are travelling would scare the daylights out of any parent. My daughter informed me this was not the first time the school bus was faced with this problem. Perhaps some warning signs posted to alert drivers of the bus stop ahead? Not sure if that would help but at this point I feel any efforts on the city’s or school district’s part would be beneficial.

I would appreciate a reply to this letter and hopefully a future plan with emphasis on safety.

Publicity helped Ryu get betterEditor:

The members of the Sto:lo Service Agency Pet Wellness (SSAPW) program would like to extend their sincere thanks to reporter Greg Laychak, for his article in the Chilliwack Times Sept. 24 called “Dog gone vet bills.”

In this article, Laychak wrote about Ryu, a young pup born with a corneal dermoid (a cluster of hair growing on his cornea) who needed funding for special surgery to correct this problem and allow him to live a full, healthy life.

We are delighted to report that community members from Chilliwack and the surrounding area donated generously to our crowdfunding request. And, Community Animal Projects (CAP) co-founders, Carolyn Pinsent and Jennifer Arnold, also stepped in to plan for Ryu’s treatment and cover the remain-ing costs associated with the complex surgery.

A warm heartfelt thank you to all who took the time to support Ryu. He has now returned to full health and his owners are extremely grateful, as are we.

Thanks again to those who donated, to CAP and to both Greg and the Chilliwack Times for publicizing Ryu’s plight.

Leslee PictonOn behalf of the SSAPW

Rock stars aren’t the only rock stars anymore. Exceptional athletes, actors, musicians, thinkers, business people,

and politicians are all rock stars these days. And our culture is more obsessed with celebrity than ever. Greatness is idolized.

But what about the altogether ordinary people? Like me. And if I may be so bold, like you. We are caught in the tension of striving to be exceptional and coming to terms with our ordinary-ness. But is there an alternative?

The Bible is woven together to ultimately tell one grand story of redemption and hope.

But within its pages, chapters, and books within the book, are thou-sands of stories within the story.

One of the common themes that you notice from beginning to end is God’s preferential use of the ordi-nary. In Genesis, the first book of the Bible, we come across a man named Abraham. Ordinary. Out of sheer grace, God chose to bless him and do some extraordinary things for him and through him.

He made a stuttering murderer named Moses (for all you movie buffs, think Charlton Heston and Christian Bale) the guy to lead His people out of Egypt.

He made David, an unkingly look-ing shepherd boy the King of Israel.

With Christmas nearly upon us it draws our attention to an ordinary teenage girl named Mary, who gave

birth to Jesus, the Son of God. And to ordinary shepherds who were greet-ed by a choir of angels and invited to celebrate the birth of the royalist of royalty, the King of kings.

What I find so staggering is that over and over again God didn’t seek out the celebs and the uber talented ones. He chose very ordinary people. Why is that? The Bible repeats this

pattern so often that it’s impossible to miss: so people see the extraordinary through the ordinary. So people see Jesus, the true hero.

Otherwise, we would just stop at the great speeches of Moses and mar-vel at his greatness. Rather than see that God used a reluctant man to free people from slavery.

We would just stop at the kingship of David instead of looking to the ulti-mate King, Jesus.

And if God used a Princess Kate-like woman rather than a low-income, rural, teenage girl named Mary, we would stop at her rather than drawing our gaze to God.

God is extraordinary. And He loves to do incredible things through ordi-nary people like you and me.

It’s not your greatness He desires so much as your faith in Him and His greatness.

So if you’re reading this and you’re not famous, take heart! You’re just the type of individual that God sees fit to do the extraordinary through.

And this time of year reminds us of the fact that Jesus condescended from the throne room of heaven to a feed-ing trough for animals. He broke into human history to seek and to save us for all eternity. Extraordinary.

Merry Christmas.

chiefsextraUpcoming games: Dec. 30 - Langley @ Chilliwack 7:00 p.m. Jan. 2 - Chilliwack @ Wenatchee 7:05 p.m.

BY GREG LAYCHAK

[email protected]

After two important games for the leaders of BCHL’s M a i n l a n d d i v i s i o n a t Wenatchee’s Town Toyota

Center, nothing has changed at the top of the heap.

T h e C h i l l i w a c k C h i e f s a n d Wenatchee Wild split a two-game weekend series, keeping the Chiefs with a three point hold on first place in their grouping.

Friday night in Washington, Vimal Sukumaran opened scoring in the

first game of Chilliwack’s road trip with his goal almost halfway through the first period.

Just past the 17-minute mark, Wild forward August Von Ungern tied things up heading into first intermission.

At under two minutes on the ice in period two, Chiefs point leader Jordan Kawaguchi scored to give his team the 2-1 lead. But that would be the end of the Chiefs offence.

Wenatchee rallied in the second frame, scoring three unanswered goals to take a 4-2 lead going into the last 20 minutes.

And that’s where the score stayed after a scoreless third period, notch-ing the first win of the weekend series for the Wild.

But despite being outshot by a larger margin on Saturday, the Chiefs came away with a win over their

Wenatchee hosts.By early in the second frame, the

Chiefs had a 2-0 lead after Connor McCarthy’s first period goal followed by Darien Craighead’s score shortly after the break.

Wenatchee answered with two goals of their own, one coming at the game’s midpoint and then another in the third period to tie the match-up at 2-2 with fewer than 12 minutes

remaining on the clock.Chilliwack’s Kohen Olischefski

scored the game-winning goal with only 54 seconds left in the game, leaving the Chiefs even with their division rivals after a weekend in Wenatchee.

Aidan Pelino picked up a win and a loss over the weekend, bringing his record to 14-8-1.

Next Wednesday at 7 p.m., the Chiefs host a surging third-place Langley that is currently on a three-game winning streak after beating Prince George 5-1 last weekend.

GIBSON GOLDEN AT FASTSWIMIn mid-December, the Spartan Swim Club sent 18 athletes to the Richmond Fastswim meet to compete with 550 swimmers from across the province. Jes-sie Gibson led the way for the Spartans in the girls 16-and-over category, winning three golds in the 100m free, 200m free and 200m IM followed by a silver in the 200m back, a bronze in the 400m free and fifth place in the 800m free. In the girls 11-and-under category, Brook-lyn Gerber finished with gold in the 50m backstroke, came second in the 200m free and followed up with a bronze in the 50m free. Myles Wheeler won triple silver, taking second in the 100m breast, 200m breast and 1500m free, along with bronze in the 400m and 200m frees and fourth in the 200m fly. In the 12- to 13-year-old girls cate-gory, Spartan Haley Klank won silver in the 50m free, bronze in the 100m back, fourth in the 50m back, fifth in the 50m fly and sixth in the 100m fly. In the 14- to 15-year-old girls division Anna Dumont-Belanger raced her way to second in the 400m IM and fifth in both the 400m

and 800m free. And Ryan Han won two Bronze in the 50m breast and 100m breast, fourth in the 200m breast, fifth in the 400m free, sixth in the 200m free and eighth in the 400m IM, all in his 12- to 13-year-old boys division.

SECOND BEHIND KING GEORGEIn their own Grizzlies Annual

Senior Varsity Showcase Bas-ketball Tournament in early December, the provincially ranked No. 2 G.W. Graham boys finished second behind King George and the girls team (ranked No. 8) ended third in the competition. Gabe Mannes won first team all-star and Curtis Kmyta was named second team. The female first

team all-star for GWG was Jaya Bannerman, and her teammate Katherine Holden took second team honours.

GASPAR MOVING ONThree Chilliwack athletes com-peted in the screening event at Capilano University to earn the right to attend the Elite Canada gymnastics event in Halifax in February 2016. Brienna Gaspar qualified for Halifax with her sixth place on the beam and 11th all-around score in the national novice division. In her category, fellow Chilliwack gym-nast Mikhayla Rosenow placed 16th overall. The North Shore Invitational was also the zone three trials for the BC Winter Games in Penticton in February 2016 with the final roster for gymnastics to be determined early January. Local athlete Sierra Stobbe placed sixth all-around in the JO 7 2005-2007 division for that competition.

CHOLOWSKI EARNS GOLDChiefs defender Dennis Cholowski and his Team West teammates beat Russia 2-1 in the World Junior A Challenge final game on the weekend, to win their fourth gold medal in 10 years. Canada West has also won three silvers and a bronze since the tournament began in 2006. The win brings the team’s overall record to 25-13-2 in tournaments.

PINEDA SIGNS WITH REGINA, JANSSEN NAMED TO TEAM BCThe Chilliwack Giants had two players move onto new opportunities last week. Team captain Diego Pineda signed for five years with the University of Regina Rams and junior bantam starting quarterback Josh Janssen (pictured above) was named to Team BC in next month’s High Roller International Football Showdown in Las Vegas from Jan. 20 to 24. Janssen has been with Chilliwack Minor Football for five years and made the switch to QB from wide receiver two years ago.

Antino Harris-Jimmie is look-ing forward to Christmas as much as any seven-year-

old, but it’s Boxing Day the Chilli-wack boy really has his eyes on.

That’s because the hardcore Van-couver Canucks fan and unlike-ly philanthropist is off with three family members to sit in the lower

bowl as the Canucks face the Oilers at Rogers Centre.

Antino’s name will be posted on the jumbotron and, after the game, he gets a meet-and-greet with a Canucks player.

It ’s all because Antino has spent countless hours with his grandmother June Jimmie sort-ing through gloves, blankets and winter coats, putting together sandwiches, and driving around

Abbotsford and Chilliwack helping out the homeless.

“Even when we just go shop for food for the house he tells us, ‘I think that person is hungry,’” June says. “He has the biggest heart ever. He understands about the less for-tunate/homeless.”

noticed the bike behind a fence that had been blown over in November’s brutal windstorm.

“Pastor Holly (Duke, of the Alli-ance Church) noticed the ad in the newspaper (Chilliwack Times) and Charmaine was the first per-son that came to mind,” Clow said. “I wrote and rewrote a letter and submitted it.”

While she was waiting to see if her friend was chosen as the winner, Clow, a certified care aide, kept an eye out for job openings for Aiken, who is also a care aide, but didn’t have the reliable transportation needed to work in the field.

“What you’ve done is change three lives,” Clow said, alluding to three-month pregnant Aiken and her four-year-old son Leyham.

“I feel like I have my indepen-dence back,” Aiken said.

This is the 12th annual Christmas Car Giveaway which comes togeth-

er thanks to the generosity of Valley Toyota, HUB International Barton Insurance, Simpson Auto, Fix Auto, Big O Tires, Napa Auto Parts, BCAA and the Chilliwack Times.

“When we all read her story it just seemed like she was the right person,” said Valley Toyota sales manager Niels Larsen. “It’s a pretty great feeling for all involved.”

Vehicle gives her independence, changes three lives GIVEAWAY, from page A3


Participating sponsors gather round the 1998 Toyota Corolla given away last Friday to Charmaine Aiken. Aiken was nominated for this year’s car giveaway by friend Katrina Clow.

The fondest memory I have from my childhood is one that I hold dear to my heart.

Fitted with an over-sized apron and a smile from ear to ear, I was six years old on a stool rolling out pie pastry along side my mom. While she made the large pies for the family, I rolled out pastry for miniature imitations formed to the confines of empty, metal chip-dip containers. I was very proud and happy to be a part of the prepara-tion for such a wonderful treat.

Pies are a very traditional way to end a meal on certain holidays throughout the year, and especially at Christmas time. Pumpkin is always a favorite pie among many for the holidays, but numerous different pies can and will be made and enjoyed.

Pies are basically made up of a shell or crust, with a flavourful filling, and can be divided into two groups: baked or unbaked.

Baked pies are obviously ones with raw pie shells that are filled and then baked.

The unbaked category rep-resents prebaked pie shells that are filled with a prepared filling and then chilled to set before serving.

The pie dough that makes up these shells can also be divided into two categories: flaky dough or mealy dough. Flaky dough is usually a pastry that has a mixture of shortening and butter that is “cut in” so that there are small chunks still left in the finished product. This aids in creating steam, which helps with the leavening process and thus creating the flaky texture.

Mealy dough is one that is usu-ally made with butter that is mixed in more thoroughly, and when baked has a texture much like tender shortbread. This is because the flour particles are more coat-ed with fat and thus less gluten is formed.

Once you have decided on the type of crust to make, it is time to decide on the filling. Basically there are four choices: fruit, cus-tard, cream, or chiffon. All fillings require the existence of a starch or stabilizer to ensure that it holds together when sliced. Fruit and cream fillings use starches, such as cornstarch for their stability, while custard filling use the stabilization of eggs coagulation for their firm-ness. Examples of custard pies are ones such as pumpkin, pecan, and key lime pies. Chiffon pies usually use a combination of starch or gelatin with whipped eggs whites folded in.

Baking is a science and recipes are the formulas. For the reasons listed here and for many others, it is important to follow these recipes exactly in order to have a success-ful outcome. Whatever pie or other dessert you choose to finish your holiday meals with, I wish you, your families, friends, and loved ones all the best in health and happiness this upcoming holiday season.

Dear Chef Dez:I have heard and known that it is

best to keep pie pastry as cold pos-sible to prevent melting the butter and shortening pieces. What is the best way of doing this?

Douglas C.Langley

Dear Douglas:The best way of doing this is to

first focus on your ingredients. Make sure you are using ice water instead of cold water, and frozen butter grated into the flour mixture is ideal. The frozen butter particles then are already the required size from the grater and will not suffer from the warm friction of too much mixing or “cutting” it in.

Secondly, try not to touch the dough with your hands, as the warmth from them will melt the butter. It is best to form the dough by folding it over consistently with a metal dough cutter (bench scraper).

Once the dough is formed, wrap and place it in the refrigerator until thoroughly chilled. Remove and proceed with rolling, ideally on a chilled marble surface. Once shaped, refrigerate for approxi-mately ten more minutes before baking.

I have even heard that using vodka from the freezer (instead of the ice water in your recipe) will produce a flakier crust!

grandmother was recognized by Vancou-ver Canuck Dan Hamhuis who spear-heads Hammer’s Heroes, an effort to recognize young people making a differ-ence in their community.

The Canuck’s defenceman pays for one “hero” to receive four lower bowl tickets to each of the 41 home games this season.

Antino was chosen for the Dec. 26 game and his grandmother June couldn’t be more proud. The meet-and-greet after the game won’t be with Hamhuis himself, as it usually is, because Hamhuis is sidelined after he was hit in the face with a puck on Dec. 10 and received a facial fracture.

June and Antino and other family members frequently gather up donations of clothing and food, and they’ve headed to the tent city in Abbotsford, to homeless camps in Chilliwack and recently they’ve

joined up with a group that gives out food and clothing and coffee Thursdays down-town Chilliwack.

“We have been going there every Thurs-day with food and clothing as well,” June says. “He goes around to ask each person if they would like a sandwich and what-ever else we have. There is no decision on who gets it, just whoever is there he asks, checks to see if they are warm and if they need a coat and or blanket.”

June says it’s very rewarding and in all the year’s they’ve been doing it, they hav-en’t had a bad experience.

“And we’ve even gone out up till three or four in the morning,” she says. “They are just happy to get what they get.”

Crews remove several burned

out vehicles Monday from the

parkade under an apartment build-

ing in the 9400 block of Nowell

Street.

17 vehicles damaged in fi reBY PAUL J. HENDERSON

[email protected]

Cleanup crews began to remove burned out vehicles from a parkade in a down-town apartment building hit by fire ear-

lier this month.Seventeen vehicles were damaged or

destroyed in the early morning Dec. 9 blaze that struck the parkade in a building in the 9400 block of Nowell Street.

No one was injured in the fire but the mostly senior residents had to be evacuated and two weeks later are still out of their homes.

When Chilliwack Fire Department (CFD) crews arrived just after 3:30 a.m. that day, heavy black smoke was coming from the

structure.Due to the numerous vehicles involved in

the fire, efforts to tackle the blaze were ham-pered, but once firefighters got into where the vehicles were, damage was limited to the park-ade structure and a small portion of exterior siding.

Assistant fire chief Mike Bourdon said the CFD has completed its investigation and the cause appears to be accidental.

It’s been two weeks since seniors displaced by accidental blaze

showtime Would you like to help?Lions Wooden Toy Making Project: If you would like to join the Lions Club in their annual wooden toy making project just call their downtown thrift store location at 604-792-3483.

They’ll never rust . . . and they’ll probably never wear out. And

more than a thousand of them will go under Christmas trees or be stuffed into stockings again this year.

The wood elves were busy again last week putting the final touch-es on the annual Lions Wooden Toy Project. Sequestered in the mag-ical workshop of head elf Robert Prinse, they carefully placed ping pong balls into wooden propellers before loading them up for their journey to more than a dozen communities across Brit-ish Columbia.

Thanks to a partner-ship with Lordco Parts Ltd., the wooden toys are transported to such

far-flung cities as Prince George and Castlegar where Lions Club mem-bers then deliver them to churches and Salvation Army hampers.

Master craftsman Prinse first began the wooden toy project in 1989, mostly out of his love for working with wood. He felt that many children had never held or played with a real wooden toy.

“Everything today is made out of plastic or cheap metals,” he said. “There’s just something about a hand-crafted wood toy that is different, that is special.”

More than a dozen wood elves work on the toy project all year long. Wood is donated

And while most of the wood workers are male, lady Lions also get involved with the project by making the doll cra-dle bedding kits.

Some of the wooden toys made include trucks, memory boxes, ducks, tractors, puzzles, airplanes, elephants and horses.

Over the years, the wooden toy proj-ect has helped to bring senior elves together leading to enduring friend-ships.

“Many guys have met through the project and have become fast friends,” Prinse said.
