Approximately 60 anti-oil sands protesters gathered in front of MLA John Less local office on Wednesday before marching to MLA Gwen OMahonys office.

BY PAUL J. [email protected]

Afew dozen anti-oil sandsprotesters gathered atChi l l iwack MLA JohnLess constituency office

Wednesday before marchingaround the corner to Chilliwack-HopeMLAGwenOMahonys officeand thenCityHall.Theapproximately 60peopleheld

signs with statements like Thisgrandmother wont allow morepipelines, Our Coast Our Choiceand Dont Care Les? Shame onyou!The gatheringwas the local incar-

nation of a provincewide day ofaction that featured more than 60such protests around the province.It followedontheheelsofMondays

sit-inat theLegislature inVictoria.

Leswasnt at his officeWednesdaybutOMahonys staff let the protest-ers inside where, led by Skwah FirstNation member Eddie Gardner,they chanted B.C. is notfor sale.OMahony returned

soon after with coffee anddoughnuts for the group,before she addressed thecrowd.Tho s e oppo s e d t o

Enbr idges p roposedNorthern Gateway pipelineand the planned twinning of KinderMorgans Trans Mountain pipeline,which runs through Chilliwack,targeted MLAs across the provincetoday.And while NDP leader Adrian Dix

has come out hard against North-ern Gateway, including a formal let-ter of opposition to the joint reviewpanel, the party has stayed quiet

about Kinder Morgansplans.Wedo think it is prudent

to have the NDP take a crit-ical stance on the transportof diluted bitumen, localprotest leader Sheila Mux-low said to the crowd insideOMahonys office.Dix has said the NDP

did not have a stance on the TransMountain twinning because theproject was not yet before theNational Energy Board.In address ing the crowd,

OMahony did not say anything

specific about the local pipeline,but she told the crowd that the firstthing an NDP government woulddo if elected in May is to take con-trol over the process of oil pipelineapproval fromOttawa.Theprocess has to be decidedby

BritishColumbians, not byOttawa,she said.AfterWednesdays protest, orga-

nizers announced that somemembers present would head toChilliwack-Fraser CanyonMPMarkStrahls office on Oct. 31 for a fol-low-up demonstration.Trans Mountain Expansion Proj-

ect director Greg Toth told localRotarians last week that a publicmeeting would be scheduled forlateNovember in Chilliwack.

SchoolboardreversesagendadecisionBY CORNELIA [email protected]

The Chilliwack school boardwill once again release its fullagendas the Friday beforeTuesdaynight boardmeetings.Since the district abruptly ended

the practice in April, the completeagenda hasnt been available to thepublic until the morning of the dayof themeeting.The move was prompted by an

April 10 Times article that usedinformation from a school boardagenda and was published beforethe meeting at which the executivehadplanned topresent it to trustees.Then-interim superintendent

Michael Audet told local media atthe time that the district decided towithhold full agendapackages so theboardwould get a chance to processinformation before reading about itin thepaper.That prompted complaints the

district was trying to limit publicinput atmeetings, and in June trust-ee Heather Maahs recommendedthe board restore the Friday releaseof the full agenda.Her motion was deferred to the

boards policy committee, whicheventually directed the superin-tendent to look into thematter andmake a recommendation based onpractices in other districts.In an attempt to compromise

at Tuesdays meeting, superinten-dent Evelyn Novak recommendedthe board release its full agendaon Monday mornings beforeTuesday night meetings, but thatwasnt soon enough for Maahs

The Chilliwack school boardhas opted to keep in placea regulation one parent hassaid endorses religiousmar-

keting in local public schools.Richard Ajabu complained to the

board last week after his daugh-ter, who attends Sardis elementary,brought home a permission form toreceive a free Bible at school fromGideons International, an evangelicalProtestant association that has hand-ed out freeBibles toCanadianGrade 5public school students since 1946.Ajabu was surprised to find out

there was a local regulation in placethat endorses the Gideons activity intheChilliwackdistrict.The Board approves the distribu-

tion of Gideon Youth Testaments toGrade 5pupilswithparental consent,states administrative regulation 518.Ajabu wants that regulation

rescinded and the handing outof Bibles in local public schoolsstopped, calling it indoctrinationand saying it discriminates againstother religious groups and interfereswith parents rights to educate theirchildren in suchmatters.TrusteeWalt Krahn told the Times

Thursday superintendent EvelynNovakhadaddedAjabus complaint to

her Oct. 23 agenda (not specifically tothe agenda of the regular publicmeet-ing as originally reported).Rather than discuss it at the public

meeting, Novak opted to include it inher regular superintendents conver-sation meeting with trustees beforethe in-camera andpublicmeetings.There trustees decided to leave the

regulation inplace.The board confirmed for me that

its policy andwere carrying on as is,Novak told theTimes.Ajabu, meanwhile, told the Times

Novak had told him she would dis-cuss his complaint with the board,but as of press timeWednesday, hesaid he hadnt heard anything fur-

ther from the district.I am surprised at the apparent

secrecy and lack of open dialog bySD33 [School District No. 33] so far,hewrote in an email.He said the board should suspend

the regulation that endorses thedistri-bution of Bibles immediately becauseit exposes the district to the risk oflegal action.If SD33 continues to allow the dis-

tribution of non-instructional reli-giousmaterials in public schools, theymaybebreaking the law,andtheymaybe exposing the public school district(and taxpayers) to increased risk oflegal action that should be completelyunnecessary.

Board didnt budge on Bibles

who moved the full agendas bereleased Friday.

This is something weve alwaysdone in good faith with our com-munity in the interest of being openand transparent, she said. I thinkallowing a weekend for people whowork during the day gives them thetime to look at the agenda . . . I think

its only fair that we give them thetime they need to digest the infor-mation to be able to come and par-ticipate in our meetings and give ustheir input.After being assured district staff

could support the Friday release,

Maahss amendment was approvedunanimously by the board.

Full agendas will now be availableon the school district website www.sd33.bc.ca on Friday afternoonsbeforemeetings.

They crossed swords inthe Chilliwack-Hopebyelection in April butnow John Martin and LaurieThroness will officially be onthe same team inMay2013.The BC Liberals held a joint

nominationmeetingWednes-day evening at which Martinwas to be acclaimed in theChilliwack riding andThron-ess inChilliwack-Hope.Throness said Martins

move from the BC Conserva-tives to the Liberals in Sep-tember bodes well for theparty in both ridings.The switch of JohnMartin

to the BC Liberalsmeans thatperhaps free enterprisers arebeginning to link arms to jointogether to stand against theNDP and I think thats verygoodnews, he told theTimesTuesday.What we learned from the

by-electionwas thatwhen thefree enterprise option is split,the NDP win, Martin said ina press release. That is whyIm so happy to be workingwith Laurie Throness here inChilliwack and running fortheBCLiberals.Self-describedformerrival

and fierce critic, Martin satbetween retiring ChilliwackMLA John Les and Thron-ess at a press conference in

September to announce hisdefection from the BC Con-servatives.As a Conservative, Martin

received 25 per cent of thevote for a third place finishin the April 19 byelection inChilliwack-HopewonbyNewDemocrat Gwen OMahony,who garnered 42 per cent ofthe vote. Throness finished insecondwith 32per cent.After the byelection, Chilli-

wack Liberal MLA John LesblamedBCConservativeleaderJohnCumminsfor theresult.Cummins has enabled

the NDP to win in this ridingtonight,ChilliwackMLAJohnLessaidApril19.Many,manypeople in British Columbiawill not be satisfied tonight.If you are not a socialist, thereis nothing to be satisfied withhere tonight.Throness agreed that recent

BC Conservative woes willprobably lead toLiberal gains,at least locally.

If you look at the numbers,the split in the free enterprisevote really brought both JohnMartin and I down in Apriland thats not going to hap-pen this time, he said.Throness did say he expect-

ed theConservatives to field acandidate but the chances ofhim or her being as high pro-file asMartin is unlikely.Martins Conservative bye-

lection campaign managertold theTimes he was unsurewhat the party had plannedfor the May election in termsof candidates. A call to the BCConservative Party headquar-ters in North Vancouver wasnotreturnedbeforepress time.As for the NDP, OMahony

does plan to run again inChilliwack-Hope for theNDP but the party does notyet have a candidate chosenfor Chilliwack. Fraser ValleyRegionalDistrict AreaBdirec-tor Dennis Adamson has puthis name forward.

Hey Guys... Feeling a Little Old ?When men are young,their hormones humalong beautifully and theirtestosterone levels are inabundance. This is whyyoung men are recognizedfor their muscularity,strength and virility.But as we age, men oftenexperience a body transitionwith advancing age knownas Andropause. Andropauseis often described as ... anoticeable decline in male hormonelevels, often with the accompanimentof high estrogen levels. As a-matter-of-fact, men become so good atproducing estrogen with age, that it isnot uncommon for a man of retirementage to have more estrogen in his bodythan a woman of the exact same age!Aside from manufacturing excessestrogen (which causes muscle lossand a gain in body fat), men alsoexperience an increase in a veryharmful form of estrogen (known as16-alpha hydroxy estrone), whichincreases the risk of prostate cancerand makes it extremely difcult tomaintain a healthy metabolism.

Combined with nutritionand regular exercise,research shows nutrientsthat can help you safelyreduce excess estrogenincluding the dangerousform of estrogenswhilemaximizing your healthfultestosterone levels.As we age we experience... an increase in belly fat lower energy levels an increase in irritabilityand depression

a decreased interest in sex prostate problems erectile dysfunctionUltimate Male Energy can help. Itcontains all-natural ingredients thatrestore a healthy hormone balanceby positively affecting both estrogenand testosterone production.

Three southside schools could see a totalof $14.5million worth of additions nextschool year if a capital plan approved attheChilliwack school boardTuesday getsmin-istry approval.The five-year, $58 million plan calls for

almost $17million tobe spent in the first year.Most of thatmoneywould go towardsmak-

ing more room at Promontory Heights com-munity elementary, Sardis elementary andG.W.Grahammiddle-secondary.The most immediate issues are related to

Promontory Heights, which has had a num-ber of portables since it opened and Sardiselementary, which has had fully occupied por-tables formore than 10 years, secretary-trea-

surerMaureenCarradice told theboard.Promontory has been on the books for an

addition for a couple of years and was builtwith an eye to expansion, as was G.W. Gra-ham, so those projects would be fairly easy toundertake, saidCarradice.The planwould also seemechanical/energy

upgrades toVeddermiddle andTyson elemen-tary and the additionof two school buses.Additions atWatson elementary and Evans

elementary are proposed for year two.Officials have also penned in more than

$35million to acquire sites for two brand newschools in the eastern hillsides, though plan-ning and completion for those project willhave towait till thenext five-year cycle.We believe that those are a little further

down the road than the immediate pressuresthat were seeing right now in our south sideschools, Carradice said.Although the current school year is techni-

cally year one of the plan, the secretary-trea-surer said she doesnt expect the ministry toapprove theplanuntil late spring.Capitalprojectswouldnt likelygetunderway

until next school year, she said.

Hundreds of pot plants were found in aQuarry Road home raidedTuesday byChilliwackMounties.Police say they found788plantswith anesti-

mated street value of $150,000 in the house,which was located near Little Mountain ele-mentary in the 9900block ofQuarryRoad.Mounties say the entire 2,800-square-foot

home had been dedicated to the produc-tion of pot.

This is the second grow op in two weeksthat has been dismantled by our [CrimeReductionUnit] team incloseproximity to ele-mentary schools, RCMP spokespersonConst.TracyWolbeck said in a press release. The riskof fire and potential for violence associatedwith grow operations makes these locationsparticularly concerning.No arrests have been made. Police say the

investigation is ongoing.

It may look like a countdown by someonewhos bad at math, but 5-2-1-0 is a les-son the Chilliwack school board will pay$15,000 to teach it to local school kids.The numbers stand for a simple healthcare

message: eat five ormore servings of fruits andvegetablesdaily; limit screen time to twohoursor less per day; promote one hour or more ofphysical activity daily; and avoid sugar-sweet-enedbeverages.Trustees got a lesson on the approach at

Tuesdays boardmeeting fromChilliwackHos-pital and Health Care Foundation director ofcommunity relationsDonnaDixson.She told them Chilliwack is facing an epi-

demic of children with unhealthy lifestyles,and urged the board to join a communitypartnership that would see the school districtformally endorse 5-2-1-0 and pitch in funds topay for a facilitator/co-ordinator to bring themessage to schools.This is the first time in history where it is

expected that children will die before theirparents, Dixson told the board. One in fourchildren in B.C. are obese and along with thatcome diseases like diabetes, high cholesterol,kidney disease, high blood pressure, heartdisease and cancer.The 5-2-1-0 approach is part of a larger

program, SCOPE (Sustainable ChildhoodObesity Prevention through CommunityEngagement), developed and supported byBC Childrens Hospital and led by ShazhanAhmed, who has piloted the program inAbbotsford and Prince George for the last twoyears.Dixsons proposal got support from the

majority of trustees later in themeeting aftertrustee Barry Neufeld moved that the board

contribute $15,000 annually towards the hir-ing facilitator to implement the SCOPE pro-gram in the district.But not all trustees liked the idea of giving

themoney to an outside organization.Trustee Silvia Dyck said that putting Dix-

sons presentation and themotion to approvethe funding on the same agenda seemed likea pressure tactic by some trustees to get thefunding approved in the hurry.She said the board should focus on it own

mandate.We have so many needs within our

schools, she said. Theres absolutely no wayI can support giving $15,000 annually to any-one other than the education community interms of serving our students.Maahs andWiens agreed, but trustee Doug

McKay pointed out that, with 12,000 studentsin the district, the facilitator would only cost$1.20 per student annually.Dyck, Maahs andWiens also suggested the

money would be better spent supporting lowincome families who have a tough time put-ting healthy food on the table.$15,000 buys a whole lot of groceries,

Maahs said.But Dixson said spending money on food

would only help students in the short termwhile the SCOPE programwould teach themlifelong healthy habits.Furthermore, Dixson said the facilitator

would be hired with or without the boardshelp.This is education at its highest level about

something critically important, so were goingto do it whether the school board is part of itor not, she told trustees. Wewanted to inviteyou to the table to be a community leader.The plan to contribute $15,000 was eventu-

ally approved 4-3 as a one-time contributiontobe reviewedat budget time.

Iunderstand that Imayhave togive upmyCanadian citizen-ship for saying this.And I fully expect there soonwill

be ahordeof sack-cloth enshroud-ed villagers climbing relentlesslyup thehill towardsme, brandish-ingpitch forks andoily-rag torches,punching their fists in the air andshoutingnasty slogans emphasiz-ingmy shortened life expectancy.But really, folks,whats the big

deal about thebigNHL squabble,anyway?Whoneedsprofessional hockey?Whoneeds theNHL? Last time

the goons tookover the game, theydisrespected their fans by killingthe entire season.Andhowdid the fans respond

after thebloodwas cleanedupoff the boardroom floor?Theydemonstrated their dissatisfactionwhen thenext season startedbyreturning to the arenas in recordnumbers.Personally, Im such abig hockey

fanmyself that I had to checkmy sources. I couldnt rememberwhich year they celebrated thatlockout/strike/stupidity (itwas2004-05) or how long it lasted (asnoted above, thewhole darnedseason).Itwas pointedout bymymost

reliable source that the currentlabour disputea term that in thiscontext denigrates honestwork-ing folks andprofessionals every-whereis the thirdunderNHLCommissionerGaryBettmans

leadershipa term that in thiscontext denigrates leaders every-where.The firstwas a relatively short,

but significant (to thosewho care)stoppage that reduced the 1994-95 season to 48 gamesper team.(Thats not to be confusedwith thepre-Bettman-era strike of 91-92that only postponed ahandful ofgames.)I am informedby some true

hockey fanswhowill deign to talkto one such as I that the 2004-05kerfufflewasnecessary andagood thing, as it introduced sal-ary caps (which since thenhaveapparently been replacedbyduncecaps).In the current situation, I have

been astutely informed,Theyrejust being greedy.Its about thedivisionofwealth.

Which comes exclusively fromhockey fanswhokeep comingback formore, regardless of howbadly they are treated. I suspect itsbecause theyve slept through toomanydreams inwhich theywerehit in theheadbyhockeypucks.Last season, a nosebleed tick-

etacorner nosebleed ticketfor

aCanucks gamecostmore than$100.Thats not counting the Sky-Train/parking or the $8burger and$8beer (those are prices I havebeenquoted. Like thehockey tick-ets, ameal of beer andburgers istoo rich formyblood).I havebeen showna ticket stub

for a semi-prime seat (itwas for lastspringsMarch 31 gamebetweenVancouver andCalgary. So I knowits not anurbanmyth) that cost$230One seat.Two such tickets canbuy youan

entire seasonwith theVancouverGiants.That is, if you really need your

hockey fix that badly.In fact (Im told, because I havent

watchedNHLactionother thantheir job actionin years) its actu-ally better hockey, because theemphasis really is on thehockeyandnot ononeor two ego-inflatedgladiators.Or catch the junior ARivermen

at the Langley EventsCentre inWil-loughby.For $10barelymore than the

cost of a burger atNHLpricesyouget to see an entire game. takealong your kids at just $7 apop.and support youngplayerswhoarestill in it for the joy of the game.Not just the fat, fatter, fattest

paycheque.At your expense.Dont feed the greed.

Bob Groeneveld is editor of theLangleyAdvance.

A verylong fallfrom graceL

ance Armstrongs fall from oneof the great pinnacles of modernsport is truly a tragedy for thosewho put their store in the athletic

achievement of others.TheTour de France and other long-dis-

tance cycling events were notmade-for-TV events unless editeduntil Armstrongbeat cancer and came back to wincyclings grand prize a record seven con-secutive times.A number of sports boast that their

athletes are the toughest or the fittest. Butanyone who takes the time to watch LeTourmust come to the realization thatthese cyclists are in a class by themselveswhen it comes to endurance. They essen-tially race amarathon every day for threeweekswith some of the legs climbing thePyrenees and the Alps.Doping plagued Armstrongs sport

throughout his years of success. Allega-tions dogged his career. But, apparently,he passedmore than 600 dope tests. Thiswhile many of his closest rivals failed.Its human nature to want heroes.When

Armstrong delivered not just once ortwice, but seven times in a sport previ-ously dominated by European cyclists, hewas anointed as a superhero.But now that he has been proven to be

dirty based on teammates testimony, heis suffering the special condemnationreserved for those pushed from their ped-estals.What is not being questioned enough

amid the furor is the role the governingUnion Cycliste Internationale played infailing to clean its house and why it issuing the one journalist who has led thefight for clean cycling for 22 years. PaulKimmage is currently being accused ofdefamation for an article he wrote aboutdoping printed in the SundayTimes.Moreover, he is only one of many jour-nalist, writers or cyclists sued by the UCIwhen they have accused it of covering upthe doping the issue.

Editor:Re: Opposed to religious

marketing,Times, Oct. 23.I must admit that the

strongest emotion I feelafter reading this article issadness.The attitude that anything

remotely connected to ourcommon past/heritage isto be shunned or rejectedleavesme shakingmy head.The fact that the people

who relocated here from faraway places and who suf-feredmuch to do so, wereprimarily of Christian rootsis to be viewed at least withsuspicion if not outrightantagonism, is all the rage.What are we left with but

amodern perception toutedas tolerant which is indeedfar less tolerant than any-thing it supplants.I am happy that we are

predominantly a Christiannation and that GideonBibles are still presentedin some schools. This doesnotmakeme intoleranttowards other faiths and cul-tures but rather reinforcesthe strength of our culturewhich hasmade room forthem.Good on you Gideons!

Gord LoewenChilliwack

Go back to youroriginal homeEditor:RecentlyMr. Richard Aja-

bu complained about givingBibles to kids in the schooldistrict.Why is this irritatingMr

Ajabus mind? I must say,that Hindu,Muslim, etc. rit-uals are irritating Christianminds as well.Christians developed this

country, not Hindus, Mus-lims, etc.Mr. Ajabu has only one

honest solution: Go back tohis home country, practicehis religion over there.

ArtMonnerChilliwack

Live by ourstandardsEditor:I have listened to somuch

nitpicking about the freeBibles given out at schoolsin our district. They weregiving these books out whenI went to school heremany,

many years ago.If you didnt want them,

you didnt take them, butMr. Ajabu andMr. Kaj Lyd-estad aremaking such a fussabout it.I have to get my two cents

in. Lately theTimes has gonefrom being neutral onmostissues, but you seem to begiving a great deal of cover-age to the No side, and weall know there are two sidesto everything.I am sorry these people

dont like this program offree Bibles. Mr. Ajabu isso worried with what theMuslims, Sikhs and otherreligions will say about this,I guess this is what is meantby politically correct.Well, they chose to come

to this country. I dontremember inviting them,but that is not what weretalking about.When youcome to another countryyou live by their standards,and if by chance you donthappen to agree or like whatis happening, well you haveto live with that or go backto your own country.

I am getting very tiredof listening to people whocome here and expect us tochange to their way of think-ing. This country is supposeto be a democracy, that iswhymost of us chose to livehere.

R.B.AndersonChilliwack

Bible ban juststokes the fireEditor:Re. Keep Bibles out of

schools.I thought I would reply to

this very important subjectseeing that we were invitedfor our opinion and it issomething that is life anddeath tome personally,

being a follower of JesusChrist myself.First of all since Jesus

came and started his churchat approximately the age of30 years, there were factionsright from the beginningtrying to stop him frompreaching the Kingdom ofHeaven. It increased withsuch intensity that afterthree years, they finallykilled him.They thought they had

put an end to this manwhoclaimed to be the Son ofGod. But when Peter madehis Devine declaration, hisfollowers eventually recog-nized Jesus as God himself.Matthew16: 13-17.With that little introduc-

tion I would like to get tothe topic of Bible distribu-tion itself.What the peopleopposed to the distributionof the Bible (GodsWord)do not realize is that themore you try to restrainGods word, themore youcause his followers to befervent in wanting to preachit; the stronger the fires ofpersecution, the hotter theChristian.This is not just some other

book. It is GodsWord ofeternal life and ourmanualin this life now.

BertrandOuimetChilliwack

Have to baneverythingEditor:As far as banning thedistri-

butionof Bibles as proselytiz-ing, lets be fair, our childrenhave almost been forcedoverthe years to attendnativeCanadian ceremonies andreligious incantations.Ban theBible, then you

have toban everything. It isso easy to banChristian influ-ences but anything else is rac-

ist or intoleranthowstupid.JamesWiensChilliwack

What are weso afraid of?Editor:Before I openedupaper-

sonal relationshipwithGod,I looked for answers every-where. I searched all religion,all views, fromall cultures. Ididnt find fulfillment until Ifoundwho Iwas inGod. AndI learnedhow to connect thedifferences betweenus allwithout judging.This is a difficult topic,

becausepeople tend tobecomereligious over beinghuman inneedof spiritualrelations andunderstanding.I have seen religionbreakfamilies, friends, communi-ties. It is awful.Weneed tostop judging.There aremanydifferent

ways tounderstand spiritual-ity, to deny truth is ignorant.Butwhere is themedium tothis topic?Manydifferent cul-tures and viewshavebeen re-leased in our communityand schools,we support andacknowledgenative culturesregularly,whenour kids learnabout the spiritual dancingandmusic,we explain fromourhomewhat this is in theworld viewand inour homeviewleave it at that.We learn about history in

allmatters and concerns,including spiritual views. IaskGod for peace in thisregardbecause I tend to startfeelinghurt by the idea thatpeople have forgottenourfather inheaven.Inmyopinion it isweak

to reject someonebecauseof their spirituality, in fact,what is this teaching yourchildren about yourselfwhenyou standup in fierce debateover other peoples beliefs? Itshows less confidence in yourownbelief. Consideringwelive amongst awide varietyof cultures in this country,wemust understand and teachour childrenhow this playsfor everyone, all while pro-tecting the grounds of beliefwithin our ownhomes.What-everwedowe shouldnot beteaching our children to riseagainst eachother due todifferent beliefs.What kindof future areweoffering ourchildrenwhenwedo that?

LastHalloween I found thebestway to really scare trick ortreaters: Iwait at the doorwithabowl full of vegetables and get thebest responses onmy street!The realHalloween fear, though, is

formumanddad. Fear of sugared-up childrenbouncing off thewalls,fear of hidden stores of candy thatdad cannot find and fear of futuredentists bills.Halloweenmaybe thedaywhen

weput emphasis on fear, and allthings scary, but actually life is filledwith fear.Wemay focus on fear at

Halloween, butwe face it everyday.Itmaybe a fear of debt or not hav-ing sufficient finances tomake itthrough themonth. Itmaybe thefear of a failing relationship or theprospect of losing a lovedone andfacing adark andunknown future.Itmaybe the fear of having todealwith addiction. Itmay just be thefear of having towakeupand faceanother day, not knowinghow itmight end.As aChristian andapastor, I deal

with fear daily, just like you. I fear forthepeople inmychurch andwhateachof them face everyday; I fearformy children andwhat the futureholds for them; I fear for the econo-

myand if I have enough to surviveon; and I fear for sick andhurtingrelatives and the thought of losingoneof them. Fear is constant.It is inmoments like this that I

amever thankful for the encourage-ment andunshakeable rock ofGodsWord,whichhas thepower to liftmeabovemypresent circumstance andthe grip of fear, to aplace of joy andpeace.TheBible has something tosay about fear, too.Matthewchapter6 says not toworry or fear becausetheGodwho feeds the sparrowsand clothes the flowers in their fallcolourswill also take care of you.Hegoes on to tell us how toprioritizeour fears, fearGodand seekHim

above all things, andHewill takecare of everything else.He goes on to remindus in 1 John

4:18, thatperfect love drivesout all fearand this thought isechoed in 2Timothy 1:7where itsaysGodhasnot givenus a spiritof fear, but of love, strength andasoundmind.There is no love that ismoreperfect than the thepure loveGodhas for you as you read this.Hedemonstrates that love in extrava-gantways!Is fear achainaboutyou?Does it

holdback joyandenjoymentof life?Has fear robbedyouofpeace?Theonly fearweare tohave, theBiblesays, is a fearofGod.This is a rev-

erential awe forHim,HisawesomepowerandHisamazingenduringlove forus.Anoldhymnsays it best:BecauseHe lives, I can face tomor-row.BecauseHe lives, all fear is gone.Because I knowHeholds the future,And life isworth the living, justbecauseHe lives.Youdontneed tolive in fearof the thingsof this life,notwhen there is aGodwho lovesyouand iswaiting to lift that fear fromyour shoulders.Give it over toHimthisday.Hesays that everyonewhocallsonHisnamewill be saved!Nowwhere did I put those

carrots . . .? Pastor Evans Hundermark can bereached at [email protected].

The Chilliwack Minor HockeyAssociation has put an end toa controversial fee levied onfemale hockey players, the Timeshas learned.An email was sent to parents

of female players stating that theCMHA board had voted not to levythe additional fee this season.Girls on smaller-than-average

teamswhich comprise most, ifnot all female squadshad facedan additional surcharge of either$157.50 or $183.50, depending onthe players age group. Those feeswere on top of standard registrationfees of between $555 and $665 dol-lars.In the email sent to parents, Stacy

Crowhurst, director-at-large repre-senting female hockey, wrote: TheCMHA board has again reviewedthe additional fee as shown on theregistration for the 2012-2013 sea-son. The CMHA board has voted tonot charge any additional fees thisyear for any C teams including the

female division.Chilliwack Minor Hockey presi-

dent David Soltys declined to com-ment.The fees had drawn fire from

female hockey players and theirparents.Last fall, midget player Tara Cal-

laghan withdrew from hockeyinstead of paying the extra fee.I think its important to stand up

and not pay those fees, Callaghansaid at the time. The fees are sorandom and youre not getting any-thing out of it.And following last years hockey

season, twoparents, Julia Lakey andKaren Esau, filed a complaint withthe B.C. HumanRightsTribunal.Lakey and Esau are unable to talk

about thecaseuntil a ruling ismade.But when they spoke to the Timesin July, they said the fees were bothdiscriminatory and counterproduc-

tive for an association struggling torecruitmore female players.We all belong to one association

and its being harped on that girlsare costing the association moneyand therefore the only way to keepgirls hockey alive is to charge themmore, Lakey said at the time.The two women had hoped the

board would eliminate the feesbefore the complaint went through.The tribunal is expected to issue

a ruling soon, but with Lakey andEsau asking for the removal of thefees, the two parents have alreadyachieved their main goal. (The par-ents also sought to have fees leviedlast year refunded.)Other parents of female hockey

players also welcomed the elimina-tion of the fees.Mark Timmons, who coaches

an atom girls hockey team, saidits about time the board backeddown.Its one of those things that

should never have been in place,he said. Boys and girls should bepaying the same amount of mon-ey.While his team has 12 playersa

solid number for a Chilliwack girlsteamTimmons noted that minorhockey associations in neighbour-ing municipalities are able to icemultiple squads.Theyre obviously doing some-

thing right and were doing some-thingwrong, he said.

At Home

(MS) - Outside is below freezing and theheater is working overtime, but throughoutthe house there are cold, drafty areas. Doesthis sound familiar?Specialists in the field say that any cold

or drafty areas within a home are typicallycaused by air leaks within the buildingenvelope. Air leaks canmake rooms uncom-fortable and allow the air to escape, forcingheating equipment to work continually tocompensate.Whether building a new home or renovat-

ing, it may be worthwhile to consider a com-plete solution that makes household drafts athing of the past. Amodern insulationmate-rial, like that offered by innovators Icynene,

can both insulate and air seal in one step.Spray foam insulation seals the entire

building envelope and provides a cost-saving option for homeowners lookingto reduce energy waste and save on theirmonthly energy bills. Over the long-term,the savings quickly add up.Modifications to the way youmanage

your homes energy consumption leads tosignificant financial rewards and reassur-ance. Consulting a professional, such as anenergy rater or inspector, will helpmake aneducated assessment to the actual require-ments within the home andwhere the valuelies. More information can be found at www.icynene.com.

Halloween hasevolved to the pres-ent-day celebrationsafter centuries of folk beliefswhich focused onmany dif-ferent aspect of plants.In those simpler times,

certain plants were thoughtto help divine the future,making magical practicespossible and giving protec-tion against the dark side ofthe spirit world.Sometimes all these attri-

butes, and healing abilities,were attached to the sameplants.Apples, for instance, have

been a magical fruit overthe agesespecially linkedwith fertility. A very potentversion of apple cider(called TheWitches Brew)may have assisted thisreputation. It was appar-ently a traditional Hallow-een drink. In Celtic lore,apples were said to attractunicorns if you were to burythe fruit in the ground onthe last day of October.The old Halloween game

of apple-bobbing (trying topick an apple out of a tub ofwater using only your teeth)was used by country folkas a method of divination.Sometimes it appeared
