Hundreds of veterans and their support-ers marched Saturday to
their MPsoffice to demand better treatment.And whereas last year,
then-MP Chuck
Strahl had missed the march, prompting dis-appointment and harsh
words from organiz-
ers, this time the veterans voices were heard.Strahls son and
successor as Chilliwack-Fra-ser Canyon MP, Mark Strahl, attended
therally, listened to the veterans pleas for com-pensation reform,
and spoke to the crowd.His presence was welcomed by veter-

Chilliwack city council candidateGarthGlasselwas
convictedofpro-duction of a controlled substancein connection with
a marijuana
grow operation on his Abbotsford property10 years ago, theTimes
has learned.And while Glassel admits he made amis-
take, he says that mistake was being a slop-py landlord renting
to bad tenants.
I rented out a garage to some people thatwe dont want to get
involved with, Glasseltold theTimesMonday. Unfortunately theydid
something that theywerent supposed todo and the only one left
standingwasme.Glassel was charged with production of a
controlled substance in Abbotsford on Sept.2, 1999, and his
first court appearance wasSept. 16.He was found guilty on Jan. 22,
2001 and,
according to Glassel, was issued a $1,000fine.When asked by the
Times if those who
rented the garage from him had ties togangs, Glassel would not
elaborate, which,he says, is precisely why he felt forced toplead
guilty.He said he didnt know the renter of the
double garage on the back of his Abbotsfordproperty was growing
marijuana and hedidnt knowhowmany plants were growing.But when the
police came and the thing

Af t e r more than a yea r o fpreparation, the Salvation Armyhas
opened a new counsellingclinic to assist those trying to
overcomeaddictions.Fireside Addiction Services will
provide an intensive six-week addictiontreatment program
featuring bothgroup and individual therapy. In theevenings, it will
provide family supportand ongoing meetings to alumni of
theprogram.Fireside opened the door to its
downtown Chilliwack offices Tuesdayand has begun signing people
up for itsfirst intake.Were ecstatic, Salvation Army
executive director Larry Farley toldthe Times. Its been a year
in theplanning.Last year, the Salvation Army closed
its 172-bed residential treatment centrein Mission. To replace
those services,the organization has opened treatmentprograms in
Chilliwack, Victoria,
Kelowna andVancouver.Every six weeks the Chilliwack
programwill take in between eight and12 new patients. The first
intake willconsist only of men, but thereafter theprogramwill be
co-ed.Farley said that treating patients in
the community has some advantagesover the residential
treatmentof those with addictions.Many times not l iving
at home and being at aninstitutional setting affectsthe overall
success rate of theprogramand the transition andlife choices that
they make, hesaid. Now they have supportof family and friends, and
thesupport of a qualified counsellor andchaplain.Farley also hopes
that the program
will appeal to those who wish to kickan addiction but who are
reluctant toleave home.The benefit of our program will
be that not only will we address theaddiction issue with the
client, but wewill also give support to the family, he
said. We will be operating workshopsfo r the commun i t y f o r
ange rmanagement and those types of issuesthat are associated with
an addiction.Bob Ratcliff, who was executive
director of the Salvation Armys now-closedMiracleValley
residential centre,will work as chaplain at Fireside. Jim
Ligertwood,whowasaprogramdirector at Miracle Valley,
willundertake a counselling role.While the new centre is
non-residential , much ofthe programming is basedupon
philosophies whichhave proven succe s s fu lfor thousands of men
whoattended Miracle Valley over
the years, said Ligertwood in a pressrelease.The Fireside
program focuses on
Motivational enhancement, cognitiverestructuring and 12-Step
supportwith a strong spiritual component,according to the Salvation
Army.
For more information, or to get help,call 604-702-9879.

Rented towrong folks
went down he was the onlyoneon theproperty.It was a mistake that
I got
into and something that a lotof landlords get into, he
said.Unfortunately it was on myproperty. . . . Im not the firstguy
to get caught.The first-time council can-
didate said his experiencetaught him a valuable lessonabout
being a landlord andgetting involved with a cer-tain type of
people.Given the potential reper-
cussions of naming suchpeople, Glassel said his law-yer
recommended he pleadguilty andmove on.Glassel also said he
learned
asa landlord that rentalprop-erties and buildings such asthe one
he owned should bechecked every twomonths.Ive learned from
other
people that it takes aboutthreemonths to growa crop,he
said.After theTimes asked Glas-
sel about the convictionMonday, he issued a pressreleasewhere he
said hewasvery sure that this was goingto be put forth as a
charac-ter assassination so I wentto Elections BC tomake sureI was
able to run for council.They cleared me as beingable to run.A
criminal conviction does
not disqualify someone run-ning for office, according tothe B.C.
Local GovernmentElection act. A candidate isonly disqualified if he
or shehave been convicted of anindictable offence and are
incustody.He added that he sup-
ports a bylaw that requireslandlords to inspect proper-ties
every two months andhe supports the removal ofmedical marijuana out
ofresidential areas.I dont smoke marijuana,
or anything else for thatmat-ter, but I also dont believe
inprohibition, it never workedin the 1920s, hewrote. Whatyou do to
your own body inyour own home, is your busi-ness. As long as
youdont hurtor affect your fellow neigh-bours, it is notmy or the
gov-ernments concern.

NewsAudrey Stollings1.What is themost impor-
tant challenge facing Chilli-wack public schools today,and
howwould you addressit as a trustee?
Ibelieve that themostimportant challenge fac-ing our public
schools inChilliwack is funding.With-out proper funding we have
a shortage ofEAs who helpto bridge thegap betweenchildren
withspecial needsand educa-tion; shortageof proper
custodian time to clean ourschools; shortage of class-rooms,
teachers, bussing,administrators, clerical staff,andmaintenance for
ourschools and grounds.
Barry Neufeld1.What is themost impor-
tant challenge facing Chil-liwack public schools today,and
howwould you addressit as a trustee?
Inmy opinion, the discord,lack of collaborative prac-tices and
lack of consensus
on the Boardis negativelyimpactingthe wholedistrict. Ibelieve
thatundermi-ning a board
decision after it has beenmade is unethical and selfdefeating.
This ultimatelyhas a negative impact on thestudents and
communitywho the board is attemptingto serve. Above all, if it is
tofulfill its mandate, themem-bers of the boardmust workas a
team.
Brett Lawrason1.What is themost impor-
tant challenge facing Chilli-wack public schools today,and
howwould you addressit as a trustee?
The most important chal-lenge facing the Chilli-wack School
District, ishow do we provide a qualitypublic school educationthat
maintains standards,increases student achieve-ment and at the same
timemeet the diverse needs ofall our students so they canbe ready
for the challengesfacing them after gradua-
tion and have success in aever changing future?The existing
Strategic
Plan if followed by allschools is a good start. TheStrategic
Plan has beenformulated and steeped ineducational research.Weas a
Board need to have arealistic approach usingthe Strategic Plan as
ourcompass, work with ourteachers and admnistra-
tors to iden-tify, develop,and fundappropriatestrategiesand
pro-grams thatare effectivelysupporting
our students diverse needs.Good teachers and teachingpractice is
the solution andsupporting their concernswith class size and
compos-tion is a move in the rightdirection.
Dan Coulter1.What is themost impor-
tant challenge facing Chilli-wack public schools today,and
howwould you addressit as a trustee?
Themost important issuefacing the Chilliwackspublic schools is
inadequatefunding. Inadequate class
sizes andcomposi-tions as wellas busing aresymptoms ofpoor
funding.To begin towork on theseproblems we
must first work on gettingthe funding. To accomplishthis I will
lobby the provin-cial government for morefunding. I will also
supportthe B.C. Supreme Courtsdecision on class size andcomposition
bargaining forteachers. I will urge othertrustees and the BCSTA
to
support the teachers right tobargain on this as well. Get-ting
funding for proper classsize and composition willgo along way to
addressingmany other issues.
Darlene Wahlstrom1.What is themost
important challenge facingChilliwackpublic
schoolstoday,andhowwould youaddress it as a trustee?
Themost importantchallenge facingChilliwackpublic schoolstoday
is graduation rates.
As a trusteeincreasinggraduationrates in thedistrict is
acontinuouswork inprogress.As board
membersweneed tohaveongoing conversationwiththe superintendent
about
graduation rates. It is vital tohave conversationwith
staff,parents, students and thecommunity around studentachievement.
All these thingscombined, in time,willincrease graduation
rates.

Trustee hopefuls wereput to the test lastweek during two
all-candidates meetings hostedby the Chilliwack DistrictParent
Advisory Council.But althoughDPAC hosted
both meetings, teacherconcerns were front andcentre at the first
meetingWednesday at Chilliwacksecondary.Teachers at the
meeting,
wh i ch d rew abou t 75audiencemembers,p r e d om i n a t e
dboth in terms ofattendance andquestions.I did get some
surpr ises, somepositive, some notso posi t ive andlook forward
tomarching to thepolls on Nov. 19,said Chilliwack TeachersAs soc ia
t ion pres iden tKatharinMidzain.Of the 22 pre-submitted
questions posed to trustees,more than half were relatedto
teacher concerns.Fo u r t r u s t e e s w e r e
queried about their viewof a recent Supreme Courtdecis ion on Bi
l l 27/28(legislation dealing withclass size and compositionlimits,
which also impactedspecialist teacher ratiosonce embedded in
teacherscollective agreements).Four more were asked
questions related directlyto teachers co l lect iveagreements
and bargaining.A n i n f o rm a l T ime s
po l l showed teache r soutnumbered parents in theaudience two
to one.Employees of the school
district, including teachers,d i s t r i c t s t a f f , s c hoo
ladministrators and CUPEstaff, outnumbered parentsmore than three
to one andmade up more than half theaudience.Governance and the
role
of the trustee was the hottopic at the second DPAC-sponsored
meeting in frontof about 80 people at Sardissecondary Thursday.
Many candidates weighedin on the issue, whether theywere asked
about it or not.Our job is to develop
policy, budget, strategicplan, vision and missionand then turn
the operationof the district over to thesuperintendent and
hisstaff, said incumbent DougMcKay, who touched on thetopic every
time he spoke.Governance has been a
contentious issue for thecurrent board, with trusteesl ike McKay
attr ibut ingconflict around the table toa misunderstanding of
the
trustees role.Other trustees,
likeHeatherMaahs,however, say theschool board hasabdicated its
rolebyhanding so muchresponsibility overto school
districtexecutives.I dont own a
rubber stamp, she said at themeeting. The parents, theeducation
community andthe taxpayers are who I takemymarching orders
from.Maahss view was echoed
by f e l l ow i n cumben tMartha Wiens but was inthe minority
among newcandidates.My role as a school
trustee is to take a viewfrom the ba lcony, notmic romanag ing ,
sa idcandidateWalt Krahn. Letslet our great staff, well paid,highly
expertise staff andteachers, work with ourstudents.S im i l a r v i
ew s we r e
reiterated by other newcandidates while DavidRussell combined a
hands-off role for trustees with acall for greater cohesion onthe
board.I really want to work with
fellow trustees to build aconsensus, to make a planand then to
take that planto the district staff, who aregoing to make it come
tolife, he said.Candidates Neil Whitley
and Tammy Brown wereabsent from both meetings,while Karen Conway
missedthe second because of amedical appointment.

The solution to downtownsmalaise, as has been notedby one
council candidate,is indeed for people to shopthere more.Alas,
getting peopleand
especially Sardis residentstodo so will require muchmorethan a
sales pitch, a newmarket-ing campaign, or a belief thatshopping
downtown will, even-tually, promote positive change.To get people
to behave dif-
ferently, one needs to make it intheir own best interests to do
so.Take me. I know that driving
my car contributes to climatechange. But I do it anywaysbecause
a) I need to get places;and b) alone, Im not going tomake a
difference (sorry, but itstrue). But when gas costs $1.30/litre, I
press the accelerator witha lot less enthusiasm.To get people
downtown, we
need to give people an earnestdesire, not a feeling of
obliga-tion, to shop near Five Corners.Obviously more shops
and,especially, restaurants, bars andcafs, would provide such
anincentive. But then the questionbecomes: how does one con-vince
businesses to set up shopdowntown?I had a long Twitter
conversa-
tion with Jason Lum about just
this issue.He suggests that the city
should give breaks on develop-ment costs to make it more
cost-efficient to redevelop problembuildings downtown.Thats one
approach. But I
think it may be too optimisticand coloured by the fact that
itwould be a politically popularand easy move.Instead of more
carrots, maybe
we need to haul out a stick.Chilliwack has an oversup-
ply of commercial and retailspace and even new commercialspaces
are sitting vacant. Justdown from theTimes office is arelatively
new, but nearly com-pletely empty, strip mall. Outsidemy downtown
apartment build-ing, construction is under wayon another pair of
chain-store-ready retail outlets.The oversupply of retail space
drives down prices, which isgood for business owners andlikely
brings new businesses and
jobs to town. But the low rentalcosts also give downtown
prop-erty owners little incentive toinvest in sprucing up, or
redevel-oping, their buildings.The city already issues no-
occupancy orders on certainbuildings. It would be nice if
itcould issue no-no-occupancyorders to penalize owners ofvacant
buildings. But Lum saysthe city doesnt have that power.Instead, if
Chilliwack really
wants a vibrant downtown, itmay have to accept the fact thatits
business-friendly policiesare partly to blame. Slowing
thedevelopment of new commercialbuildings elsewhere in the
citywould give downtown propertyowners a reason to upgrade
theirbuildings and force businessesto consider locating
downtown.But it would also be unpopularamong developers and
likelydrive some potential investorsaway from
Chilliwack.Economically it may make
some sense. Politically, its prob-ably toxic.That said, the easy
solutions
have so far failed. The chiefquestions for politicians and
vot-ers is howmuch they want a citywith a vibrant downtown and
theprice they are willing to pay toachieve it.
Rememberwhat theystand forI
ts hard to imagine anything less con-troversial than poppy sales
duringthe lead-up to Remembrance Day.And yet, it seems, every year
someone
finds a way to disrespectoften uninten-tionallythe poppy and
what it means tothis countrys veterans and its heritage.Every year,
it seems, we hear of someone
somewhere who has stolen a donationbox . . . or a business that
has refused thesimple courtesy of allowing veterans a bitof spaceon
a counter top, or outside thefront doorto sell their poppies.Every
year, it seems, we run into people
who have forgottenor perhaps theynever had the opportunity to
learnthemeaning of those poppies sold by veteransand local legion
branches.Poppy sales have a two-fold purpose:
they raisemoney to help veterans in need,but they also remind us
of the depth ofsacrificesmadeor at least riskedforthis country, and
for others around theworld.The red paper or plastic poppies sold
by
veterans and legionnaires and others onstreet corners or in
front of businesses, ormaybe available through donation boxeson
store counters, represent themasses ofpoppy flowers that grew and
bloomed onthe Flanders battlefields in Belgium andFrance.Artillery
fire and other FirstWorldWar
activityincluding grave-diggingawak-ened poppy seeds that had
lain dormantin the soil, resulting in explosions of beau-tiful
colour in themidst of war.The flowers figure prominently in the
famous poem, In Flanders Fields, pennedby Canadian physician and
LieutenantColonel JohnMcCrae.They are a reminder of the tens of
thou-
sands of Canadians who have died in war.They are a reminder of
the risks and
injuriesphysical and emotionalendured by hundreds of
thousandsmore.Themoney goes to projects to care for
those whose lives were altered by the risksand injuries.Thats
something worth remembering,
next time you see someone selling pop-pies outside your
door.

Editor:It would seem that a lot
more of us are aware of theproblems related to thoseSmartMeters
(SM) that areforcibly being installed onour houses, but
BCHydrowants people to believe oth-erwise by stating that onlya
thousand or so are com-plaining. Meter readers arereporting that
lots of peoplein Chilliwack are refusingthe installation of a SM
ontheir house. People doingso refuse to give BCHydrotheir consent
to install thosepotentially harmful surveil-lance devices on their
prem-ise. Otherwise people are, infact, giving BCHydro theirconsent
to install those SM.Obviously, those people
have done their duediligence by doing properresearch on the
subject. Thisis not the case of our electedrepresentatives. Just
likethe Chilliwack Chamberof Commerce, they invitedsomeone from
BCHydro toprovide themwith informa-tion about the SM. Dontthey know
that BCHydro isrunning their PRmachinefull throttle on this?
Theyhave been known to twistthe truth by doing dishon-est
comparisons to otherwireless technologies. Theirclaims have been
debunkedby numerous people.Wouldourmayor, councillors andthe
Chilliwack Chamber ofCommerce invite someonefrom the tobacco
industry totalk to them about how greattheir products are?One of
their most dubious
BCHydro fact is the emis-sion power, and we are noteven talking
frequency yet.The Itron smart meters theywill install emit at 1W.
Thisis an average and privatemeasurements in Califor-nia, Ontario
and Richmondhave shown that they oftenemit in a burst
muchmorepowerful than this value.Of course BCHydro hasmanipulated
this numberby dividing it by the wholesurface of your body
andadding a distance factor.They then compare theirmanipulated
value to thatof cellphones permittedpeak emission value of 2W.In
reality and under normalconditions, cellphones emitat about 100 to
200MW. Ifthey truly emitted all thetime at their peak power,their
batteries would not lastvery long.Municipal elections are
around the corner. Lets hopethat the new councillors cando
proper due diligence;tell that ourMayor has noclothes on this issue
andmove to protect the popula-tion of Chilliwack, like themajority
of themunicipali-ties, with themajority votingfor amoratoriumon the
SMinstallation until thewholetruth ismade public.

Youth voice islost in electionEditor:A time for change is
now,
young people currently havelittle voice in Chilliwack.A good
example of this
is where our young peoplehave no voice inwhobecomes our school
trustees.We, the students, have nochoice inwho represents us.Is
this a problem?Yes. Is
there a solution? Of coarse.Let us vote, give us a voice.Think
about this: by the
time I amold enough tovote, I will have no ideawhatitems need to
be addressedin the school, or what theneeds andwants and
priori-ties of the students are. Sohow could I possibly votefor
someone tomeet theirneeds.This is clearly a flawedsystem. Itmust be
acknowl-edged and addressed.I am a 15-year-oldwho
would like a voice. Is anyonelistening?
Aaron PeteChilliwack
What are peopletrying to hide?Editor:I amwonderingwhy a
preemie is called ababy, butin thewombababy is stillcalled a
fetus or a blobofcells nomatterwhat the age.When I studiedbiology
in
Grade 10nothingwith a faceandabeatingheartwas everreferred to as
a blobof cells.Babies can survive as young
as 22weeks.Doctors doeverything they can tomakesurepreemies
survive.Why?Because they are humanbeings.What differencedoes
itmakewhether babiesare inside or outside of thewomb? I
certainlywouldnotcall you ablobof cells or feel Ihave the right to
end your lifejust because you are inside.Newborns clearly have
feelings.They crywhen theyare hungry, tired, neglected,or hurt.
I know this fromexperiencebecause I havesix younger siblings. I
can-not give you a list of scientificdata to prove it, but I
amsurethat babies donot auto-matically go fromnothingto apersonwith
feelings andemotions all at oncewhen
theyre born.Sowhat are people trying
tohide?The evidence is allright there. Please realize thatbabies
are people bothbeforeandafter they are born.Thereis nohiding that
fact.
Valerie FlokstraChilliwack
The reoffenderepidemicEditor:Some people, and politi-
cians, claim longer prisonsentenceswill protect thepublic from
the reoffender.That is not fully true; the factis, it does
notmatter howmuch time the courts give thereoffender, someday,
unlessthe reoffender is incarceratedfor life, the reoffender is
goingtobe released again fromprison.Lockingup the reoffender
is not going to solve the reof-fender problems, as
therewillalways be reoffenders gettingout of prison to replace
thereoffenders going intoprison.To address the reoffender
issue, theparole boards andthe community has to
startprovidingmore reintegrationassistance for reoffenderswhen the
reoffenders arereleased fromprison.Bynot providing commu-
nity support and reintegra-tion assistance, theparoleboard and
the communityare settingup the reoffenderto reoffend again and
therebyputting the community andthe reoffender at greater dan-ger
and risk.Right now theparole board
provides virtually nothing forthe ex-reoffender, nomoney,no food
stamps, nobustickets, no job referrals, nohousing, nothing; and
inter-fereswith the reoffendersemployment resulting in
lostemployment opportunities.Employmentlook at it
from the reoffender position.Visualize the job interview:the
ex-offender says, yes sir/maam, I reallywant toworkfor you, but I
need to taketimeoffwork one to threedays aweek to
seemyparoleofficer and apsychologist:And, oh yes, before I
forget,if youdohireme,myparoleofficermaywant you to go totheparole
office for an inter-viewanda security check onyou, your employees,
and
your business.Under the above circum-
stances,would youhire thereoffender?The reoffender goes to
social services for assis-tance andgets a one-timechequeof about
$150 and isdenied further social servicesbecause the reoffender
isdeemedhealthy towork.Without a job andahome,
the reoffender is soon livingon the street and sleeping incity
homeless shelters sur-roundedbyother reoffenderscaught up in the
same reof-fender cycle.Withnoperma-nent housing, nomoney,
nojobprospects, panhandlingillegal, the optionopensup tobecome
reinvolved in crime.Just dumping the reoffend-
er on the streetwithnohous-ing and support is a recipe
fordisaster.Thefederalgovernment
issayingtheyaregoingto fixeverythingbypassinga lawthatwill
lockupreoffendersyoungerandlonger.Thenewlawswillnot fix

MP Mark Strahl addresses protesting veterans Saturday.
orders by Joe Beauchene,one of the rallys organizers.Mr. Strahl,
Beauchene
said at the conclusion of theevent, we want you to goback to
Ottawa, roll up yoursleeves and support us, notthe party
line.Wewant you tosupport your constituents.Fellow organizer
Claude
Latulippe echoed the senti-ment.We can ill afford to have
veterans fall through thecracks, hes a i d . Weowe i t t othem
and allmust thankt h em f o rtheir contri-butions tothe
nation.Thats whywere here.I n h i s
speech tov e t e r a n s ,Strahl had pledged his gov-ernments
support of Cana-das veterans.While it is true that every
single government depart-ment, including VeteransAffairs, is
being asked to findefficiencies in their budgets,not one penny will
be cutfrom veterans benefits, saidStrahl, referring to a
conver-sation with the Minister ofVeterans Affairs.The main issues
raised by
veterans, however, dealt withongoing problems with howthe
government compen-sates veterans after they endtheir service.Strahl
told the crowd: If
there are veterans here todaywho feel that they arenot get-ting
the federal governmentbenefits that they are entitledto they should
contact myoffice using the phone num-ber up on this sign. I will
notrest until every veteran herehas every single benefit thatthey
are entitled to.He also promised veter-
ans that theNew Veter-ans Charterwill evolveto addressc h a n g
i n gneeds.S t r a h l
d i d n ta d d r e s ssome of thekey concernslaid out
byorganizers of
the rallyincluding pensionclawbacks, compensationfor injured
soldiers, and theappeal process for those dis-satisfied by their
payments.But after his fathers no-
show a year before, manyveterans were happy just tohave
theirMPpresent.I think he was fairly
straightforward and I thinkhe will support the
veterans,KoreanWar vet Marvin John-ston told theTimes.Ive heard it
before, said
retired paratrooper Bud Brit-ton, of Strahls speech, butmaybe
new blood in the sys-temwill refresh the argumentand bring common
sense.
Strahl thereto listen
VETERANS, from page 1
