Those behind a new marijuana dispensa-ry just open in Chilliwack say they have been overwhelmed with support and encouragement from the general public.

From city hall, however, not so much.WeeMedical Dispensary held its grand open-

ing on Saturday, the latest of about half a dozen similar shops run by a society based in Vancou-ver.

“People are so thankful we are here,” manager Shayli Vere told the Times during a visit to the tidy, sparse shop on Fifth Avenue a day before they opened.

“We really think we are going to be a great addition to the community,” said May Joan Liu,

a board member of the WeeMedical Dispensary Society, which runs a number of similar shops in places like North Vancouver, Nanaimo and Port Alberni.

But three days before the shop even opened its doors, the owners and the society were made aware of just how unwelcome they are at city hall.

“They are in contravention of the criminal code and the city’s zoning and licensing bylaws,” Mayor Sharon Gaetz said Tuesday.

The city’s lawyers, Vancouver-based Lidstone & Company, issued a warning letter on March 16

to the society and the two owners, David Ronald Andre and Brian Stewart Elderkin of Chilliwack.

In it, lawyer Sara Dubinsky explains that the only zone where distribution of marijuana is permitted in Chilliwack is in the Agricultural Land Reserve, so the dispensary is in violation of the allowed uses of the commercial zone where it’s located.

Further, WeeMedical does not have a business licence and cannot get one for a business in a location without applicable zoning.

Chilliwack is just the latest communi-ty to face the legal and jurisdictional morass of medical marijuana dis-

pensaries.Abbotsford has been dealing with the

issue for months, and is currently seeking an injunction to shut down a pot shop and ban the owner from the city.

Don Briere, who owns over a dozen dis-pensaries in B.C. and Ontario, was denied a business licence by the city of Abbotsford. The city won an injunction in B.C. Supreme Court in January in which a judge said Briere’s Weeds Glass and Gifts store violated city bylaws.

Briere is stead-fast and says not only will he stay open now, he’ll stay open if a judge rules against him and orders another of his shops, Mary

Jane’s Glass and Gifts, to shut down.Meanwhile, municipalities across B.C.

have been forced to address this situation where, in the face of promised federal legalization, they are asked to regulate what is still an illegal product.

WeeMedical Dispensary Society opened up in Chilliwack on March 19, three days after being threatened with fines and legal action by city hall.

WeeMedical also opened up a similar

Who is Charlotte Helene Schultz?It shouldn’t be hard to find out. She was born

in 1903 and she died in 1994. And her gravestone is, well, it’s right there next to that of Hilda and August Anderson at Chilliwack Cemeteries on Little Mountain.

But Anderson family members say Charlotte’s plaque doesn’t belong there since she is not relat-ed to the family in any way.

“It’s just frustrating and it may remain frustrat-ing,” Elaine Anderson told the Times during a recent visit Elaine and her husband Neal Ander-son made to Chilliwack from Victoria to see the family plot.

Neal is the son of Frances Anderson who is the daughter of Hilda and August. August purchased the plot in 1963 when Hilda died. He died in 1974.

Then Frances died just last summer, in August of 2015. Her husband Bernhard passed before her and his ashes were spread up in the Ryder Lake area. Frances’s were too, but the family decided that wasn’t enough, in terms of a memorial, and they wanted a plaque placed at the family plot at Chilliwack Cemeteries.

But when they visited Hilda and August’s plot, they found an “interloper” as they call it, a plaque not only on the Anderson plot but so near to touching Neal’s grandparent’s gravestone that strands of grass can barely grow between them.

And that plaque is for Charlotte Helene Schultz, who must be a relative, according to cemetery poli-cy and records. Not so, according to the Andersons.

“There is no possible connection to the family,” Elaine said. “This part of the family tree is a twig. We know all of the parts and this woman is not con-nected in any way with either side of the family.”

But Chilliwack Cemeteries manager Bev Van Winkle says their records are detailed, accurate and the family must be mistaken.

The problem may lie with the legality. Accord-ing to the rules, a direct descendent of a family member may have their cremains placed on a plot of that family member, despite protestations from other family members who may not like he or she, or who may not even know they exist.

“We run into these situations on a constant basis,” Van Winkle said. “We are dealing with emotions here.”

All this comes down to the overseer of the Cre-mation, Interment and Funeral Services Act, Con-sumer Protection B.C. (CPBC). The Andersons reported the situation to CPBC, which investigated Chilliwack Cemeteries.

Van Winkle says they gave all the information to CPBC about the interment of Schultz in 1994, but Elaine Anderson wonders, who made that claim of familial connection and how did they substantiate it?

“There certainly was no Anderson family con-tact,” Elaine said.

The cemetery business is one of emotion, raw and everlasting. Van Winkle said the records from 1994 show that a family came from Vancouver Island specifically to have Charlotte Helene Schul-tz placed in that spot, right next to August and Hil-da Anderson’s gravestone. And sometimes people just don’t know about long lost siblings, children given up for adoption, offspring of mistresses.

All the paperwork was done and the guidelines were followed, she said.

“We’ve done everything in our power,” Van Win-kle said. “How much more can we do?”

As for Elaine and Neal Anderson, they are upset, but still went ahead with placing the plaque last month for Frances and Bernhard Anderson on the plot, with that of Charlotte Schultz in between the Anderson stones.

They say there is little more they can do. They’ve tried to contact Schultzes far and wide in the phone book to find a living relative. They’ve exhausted what CPBC can do. They even con-tacted a lawyer who told them that because the Schultz plaque was placed in 1994, before the ownership of the cemetery changed hands in 1998, even if plots were sold fraudulently, legal action would be difficult and would very possibly not result in reimbursement of costs of the fees.

◗ The Andersons had placed an ad in community papers asking if anyone knew Charlotte Helene Schultz, and if they could contact Chilliwack Cem-eteries at 604-795-3051.

Second accident victim in recovery


[email protected]

As u n d e r s t a n d a b l e attention was paid to the 24-year-old man

killed in a construction acci-dent in Chilliwack on March 11, and a fundraising effort began for his young family left behind, the other injured man was almost forgotten.

Gerson Alvarado, who turns 27 on March 24, is in critical

condition in hospital after suf-fering a broken torso, spinal cord damage, lung trauma and broken leg and ankle.

The accident occurred when a concrete pumper truck tipped over at a Garrison Crossing construction site and trapped both Alvarado and Sebastian Gomez Obando, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

Obando’s name was quick-ly released, and a fundraising

effort began for him and his young family. But the name of the injured man was left unre-ported.

Alvarado has a spouse, Rosa-rio, and two young daughters, all of whom are preparing for a long road to recovery and uncertainty considering how serious his injuries are.

“His spouse, Rosario, will need to take an indefinite leave of absence from her job to be by Gerson’s side,” the

GoFundMe account set up in the family’s name says. “She is determined to be there to sup-port him through every step and every challenge that he will certainly face as he recov-ers.

“This accident has trans-formed Gerson’s life and his family has suddenly experi-enced many emotional, phys-ical, spiritual and financial changes. They must prepare for many more challenges

ahead, including moving to a new home that will accommo-date Gerson’s new needs.”

In addition to the GoFund-Me page at www.gofundme.com/p2ut7ec4, there are two other ways people can donate: via email transfer to [email protected]; and, the family has opened a trust account at VanCity bank in trust for Gerson Alvara-do, account number 67496, branch number 50.

Five years after Chilliwack mom Colleen Fortin donated a kid-ney to her 18-year-old son,

both are alive and doing well.But Trevor Thornley, now 23, still

goes to St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancou-ver every three months for tests, he takes medications and, one day, he’ll need another kidney.

“People don’t realize this, if you get a cadaver kidney you’re lucky if it lasts 10 years,” Colleen said. “Trev-or’s alive donation, maybe 15 to 20 years. There are a lot of people wait-ing for kidneys.”

Colleen’s donation in 2010, which saved her son’s life, turned her into an evangelist for organ donation.

Thousands of British Columbi-ans are affected by kidney disease, and the number diagnosed has increased 60 per cent in the last decade, she says.

Colleen says there are approxi-mately 400 people waiting for a kid-ney donation in B.C. and many will

die on that waiting list.March is Kidney Health Month

in Canada, and she’s pushing along with many others for people to sign organ donation cards.

Donating not just a kidney but all

BY GREG LAYCHAK

[email protected]

Margaret Reveley and Eliza-beth Daley are like many sisters in a lot of ways, but

they share something most siblings don’t.

Specifically a kidney, and more precisely, Margaret’s.

Six months ago, almost to the day, the life-changing transplant surgery that breathed new life into Daley has also brought the two closer together.

“It turns out that we pretty much won the donor jackpot because we could not have been a better match,” Reveley said. “It was so good we may as well have been twins.”

With a 25 per cent success rate among family members, that’s not a given.

“The odds are not good,” Reveley, the younger of the two said. “If I was a betting person in Vegas, I wouldn’t

bet on that.” But it was a gamble that paid off for these sisters.

“She gave me life back, not just in the literal sense but also the joy of life and to wake up each day not tied to a machine,” said Daley in her gen-tle voice. “Everyday is a whole new set of possibilities and freedom and hope for the future.”

There are no words to describe it, according to the 62-year-old.

“How can you thanks someone for

saving your life, and to do so they’re willing to give up a part of their own body,” she said.

Not wanting to admit any frailties, Daley had kept her failing kidneys a secret from even her sister until she was finally forced to go on dialy-sis. She said her fatigue, decrease in motivation and depression weren’t helping her health when she was

The day after a distracted driving blitz by the RCMP in Chilliwack and across the

province, a woman was seen driv-ing while eating with a spoon out of a plastic container.

The message not only isn’t get-ting through to some people, there was a small online backlash against the enforcement effort last Friday at Chilliwack’s busiest intersection, Vedder Road and Luckakuck Way.

“We have 12 officers here and we can’t keep up with the number of offences,” Const. Mike Sabulsky said on the scene.

With help from RCMP Cpl. Lee Dyson high in the sky with binoc-ulars in a City of Chilliwack buck-et truck, along with members of Chilliwack Speed Watch, during a two-hour period on March 17, Mounties issued 37 violation tick-ets for using an electronic device.

They also issued 18 tickets for seat-belt violations, 16 for defective

vehicles, one for a bad red-light move, one for an improper motor-cycle helmet and three for unsafe vehicles.

They even issued one three-day immediate roadside prohibition for alcohol.

According to ICBC, distracted driving kills 81 people a year and has passed impaired driving to become the second leading cause of car crashes on B.C. roadways.

“No call or text is so important it’s worth risking your life,” said Chilliwack RCMP spokesper-son Cpl. Mike Rail. “Let calls go to voicemail and ignore your text messages while driving.”

And while the statistics are hard to ignore, including the number of violators nabbed on March 17, and that the campaign was meant to send a message, some folks were more angry at the enforcement

than the danger caused by traffic law offenders.

“Priorities,” one Facebook com-menter wrote. “Here’s an idea. . . why not set up the scissor lift on Williams and Yale on a Friday or Saturday night and actually try to fight more serious crime then not wearing a seat belt. Or talking on a cellphone.”

“That’s just wrong on so many levels,” said another, and yet anoth-er: “Good job on wasting our tax dollars how much does that truck cost while people are getting robbed, hurt and worse[?]”

But others understood the point.“Glad they are helping getting the

message across about distracted driving and penalizing those who are guilty,” said one commenter.

“Good on them,” said another. “Do what it takes to make driving in this town better.”

The time has come to engage the citizens of Chilliwack about how to tackle homelessness.

“Homelessness is affecting people all across Canada and is bigger than one municipality alone,” Mayor Sharon Gae-tz said in a city press release. “Creating a plan to ensure everyone has the opportunity to be housed requires the par-ticipation and support of the community.”

In reflection after months of planning and feedback, and the Homelessness Action Plan Background Report issued earlier this month, on March 29 a pub-lic engagement meeting is planned at Evergreen Hall to talk about the issue.

The homelessness report was pre-pared under a specially appointed task force, including members of the Chil-liwack Healthier Community Housing First Task Team, as well as individu-als and organizations from a variety of social service organizations.

A strategic planning session was host-ed in December 2015 with interested housing and service providers through the Chilliwack Healthier Community network to talk about the development of the plan, and provide input on poten-

tial strategies for addressinghousing and support needs toprevent homelessness in Chil-liwack. A total of 37 peoplerepresenting 23 agencies andorganizations participated inthat session.

Consultation has been anintegral part of the planningprocess and will continue to be

an important component of the devel-opment plan moving forward, accord-ing to city hall.

◗ The public engagement meeting is March 29 from 6 to 9 p.m. at Evergreen Hall (9291 Corbould St.). Those interest-ed in participating can view the back-ground report online at chilliwack.com/homelessness.

Talking about homelessBY PAUL J. HENDERSON

[email protected]

The Soowahlie First Nation (SFN) band and council have now formally petitioned the

federal government to stop a Chil-liwack developer from receiving a 99-year-lease on reserve land to build 200 homes near Cultus Lake.

On March 22, the SFN filed a band council resolution (BCR) with Indig-enous and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) outlining their official oppo-sition to the development on 28 acres of Soowahlie land.

“The process for the proposed 99-year commercial lease is fraught with paternalistic activities by INAC officials that threaten to create and foster long-term social impacts to the community,” said SFN Chief Brenda Wallace in a press release issued Tuesday. “The process has

essentially prevented Soowahlie citizens and leadership from hav-ing any meaningful involvement in the decision-making process. If INAC and the developer had their way, construction would already be underway despite the clear objec-tions voiced by Soowahlie leadership and citizens.”

The development is also con-troversial as it is proposed by the non-aboriginal widow of a Soowah-lie band member, who herself has band status.

The developer of the project, Lar-ry Les, said the holder of the land on Soowahlie, Lynn Commodore, wants the grant of the lease, and INAC has obligations to grant the lease.

“While some public views are passionately held, there is a process under the Act that protects the inter-est of the stakeholders,” Les told the Times last week.

When asked if INAC would per-mit the development to go ahead despite band opposition, a spokes-person directed the Times to the “Locatee Lease Policy and Direc-tive,” and said members of the department attended a community meeting on March 11.

“We are following up with Chief and Council to identify their specific concerns for departmental consid-eration, and will also follow up with the Locatee before making a formal decision on the lease development,” the spokesperson said via email.

BE OUR GUEST COLUMNS: Send your column of approximately 500 words, with a photo and a sentence about yourself (occupation, expertise, etc.) to [email protected], “Be Our Guest” in the subject line.

OUR TEAM

Last year, I received an email telling me that I owed the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) money. I’d seen lots of

email scams written in poor English asking me to send money to faraway places, but this one kind of sound-ed like government. More recently, someone from an Ottawa number called posing as a CRA agent threat-ening jail time. At the time, I felt silly that I would wonder for a moment whether these were scams.

March is Fraud Awareness Month, and to help raise awareness the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) conducted a survey of business owners that gives unique insight into how prevalent the prob-lem is. One in five business owners have been a victim of fraud in the past year, and another 30 per cent have had fraud attempted on their businesses. Not surprisingly, over 40 per cent did not report the fraud that is considered too time-consuming for its potential benefit.

The estimated average cost of fraud is $6,200, and most—92 per cent—do not recover the full cost. The most

common types of scams include payment fraud, email scams and phishing (designed to trick victims into providing sensitive information or transferring money), and directory fraud where payment is demanded for a service that was never ordered such as a magazine or phone directo-ry listing.

Some other examples of fraud from business owner comments to the survey:

“Our email was hacked into, telling one of our customers to pay their invoice to a U.S. bank account.”

“Someone hacked into our phone system and made overseas calls to a pay-per-minute site until it was red flagged by our phone provider and they shut down the service, but not until over $3,000 had been charged against our account, which we had to pay.”

Businesses spend an average of $2,900 a year on fraud prevention, including buying computer software and cameras, but one obvious thing that many business owners overlook is talking to their employees about fraud and enlisting their help to pre-vent it. Following are some tips to start the conversation:1) Payment fraud

Scammers tamper with point of sale terminals to steal money or customer information. To prevent this:◗ Keep terminals put away when not in use, and secure them when closing.◗ Don’t let a fraudster posing as a cus-tomer block your view of the terminal.◗ Check terminals regularly for pry marks, missing screws or broken parts.2) Phone and email scams◗ Hang up the phone or delete the email if you suspect a scam.◗ Know that CRA and your bank will not ask for confidential information over the phone.◗ While the CRA may take legal action to recover money owed, they will not threaten you with immediate arrest or a prison sentence.

◗ If you want to validate whether something is legitimate, go to the government website to find a contact number and call to confirm.3) Directory Scams◗ Carefully inspect the company name on the invoice, as often it will seem familiar but there will be a slight variation from the legitimate directo-ry name.◗ Do not call the number on the invoice you have received if you have doubts; instead, do a separate search for the actual company’s phone number. Call them and reference the invoice number to confirm the invoice is valid.

Fraudsters are getting more sophis-ticated and a small investment in learning what the current scams are can save you lots of headaches and, in my case, give me extra confidence as I hang up the phone on CRA imposters.

Fraudsters getting more sophisticated

OUR VIEW

Our page one stories today about a medical mar-ijuana dispensary opening up in Chilliwack are illustrative of the jurisdictional pickle that

municipalities are often put in when other levels of government shirk or postpone their responsibilities.

Federal policy in many areas is felt on the ground, and dealt with on the streets in cities and towns by municipal staff, and by mayors and councillors, the lat-ter of whom are mostly part-time elected officials.

If, for example, Indigenous & Northern Affairs Can-ada allows a housing development on the Soowahlie reserve in the face of band opposition, expect an increase in vehicles to Cultus Lake, and city hall will get blamed for traffic jams on Vedder Road in the summer.

People even personally blame the mayor for train shunting on the CN Rail line at Young Road.

And marijuana. Legalization is clearly the most log-ical next step and, if Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is true to his word, is on the way. Health Canada, in the meantime, needs to allow for medical cannabis to be distributed in better ways than is done currently.

Meanwhile, city hall spends money on lawyers, bylaw enforcement and RCMP resources, which get redirected from elsewhere in the city.

Municipalities always seem to bear the brunt of poli-cy decision at all levels.

City gets short end of the stick

Mature adults quite capableEditor:

Stephen L. Gray’s lengthy, sanc-timonious diatribe (Times, March 17) against legalized assisted sui-cide shows a very narrow-minded, non-compassionate view of this matter.

Murder is the illegal taking of another person’s life without justifi-cation or the consent of the victim. Assisted suicide is (now) the legal ending of another person’s life with justification and the informed con-sent of the recipient. In other words, polar opposites. Legal homicide (war, self-defence, public protec-tion by police) lies somewhere in between these extremes.

Mr. Gray sees the legislation as promoting uncontrolled, frivolous and/or malicious ending of inca-pacitated people’s lives. This is nonsense. The medical and legal professions are quite capable of controlling the use of this proce-dure as long as comprehensive safeguards are put in place. And mature adults are quite capable of deciding, in advance of or during a debilitating medical condition, whether or not they would wish to continue to live where their quality of life is dwindling to zero without any hope of improvement.

Robert BlacklockChilliwack

No right to interfere with my body Editor:

In a recent letter, MLA Mark Strahl stated that the upcoming vote on right to die will be a “conscience vote” for him. What does he mean by “conscience vote?”

In my experience, someone expressing that sentiment means that they intend to do what they want, regardless of what others might say.

That is not the role of an elected representative, in my view.

Let’s take for an example some words spoken by very influential man who walked this world many years ago, “Don’t step on my blue suede shoes!”

Those shoes belonged to Elvis and he was the one who should decide whether someone else should step on his shoes, not someone else. One might claim that there must have been a shoe maker who made those shoes, and even assert that they know the shoe maker. They might further represent what they think the shoe maker wants with regards those shoes, but none of that matters because the shoe maker no longer owns those shoes. Those shoes belong to Elvis.

If someone claims that someone else has some moral right to step-

ping on Elvis’ shoes, they must show reasons why this is necessary. Given all the wild and exclusive claims regarding people’s points of view regarding aesthetics, we are unlikely to find agreement through personal opinion so where to look? The only place to look, in my view, is in the area of well-being. Does an action or inaction move us to improving human well-being? If it does, there can be a justification but if not then there is no basis to override Elvis’s wishes regarding his shoes.

The same is true of my body or your body. I have no right to interfere with your body, or you with mine, unless it can be shown that this is necessary to promote human well being. No one else owns either me, or you. Certainly not the shoe maker . . . if there was one.

The decision as to the right to die belongs to the individual and should be allowed for anyone of sound mind at any time. So long as their time and method does not cause over riding harm to another, they should be allowed to proceed. That’s simple as pie. If someone has cancer in their leg and the medical assessment is that they will die with-out amputation of the leg, adults are allowed to choose the amputation or not. The same should be true of other life decisions.

Mr. Strahl has lost much support in the community because of claims to knowing what his personal shoe maker wants but as none of that, including the existence of that shoe maker, has been demonstrated, decisions which affect human well being must be made on the basis of real world evidence. There is no place for a shoe maker out of an old story in deciding on how you or I decide. If someone wishes to derive their guidance from Geppetto in the book about Pinocchio, then that is their affair but I don’t want that applied to my life, thanks very much.

Keep your superstitions out of our lives. If you have to align your life with what you imagine some old book says, then fill your boots. Keep that nonsense out of my life, the lives of my family and everyone else.

Norm KellerChilliwack

Why force someone to suffer needlessly?Editor:

In response to Stephen J. Gray, regarding “murder.”

You keep calling doctor-assisted suicide “murder,” and you seem to find it the most appalling thing you can imagine.

What I find appalling is that you’d force someone to suffer months or years of excruciating pain with no way to opt-out, because you person-ally don’t think he should be allowed to die. That’s inhumane and cruel in my eyes. Have you no compassion?

My choice to live or die does not affect you in any way, and I thank the Supreme Court for not letting your personal beliefs affect my right to choose to leave this world peacefully and with dignity.

Cody ChanceChilliwack

There is always a case for euthanasiaEditor:

Stephen J. Gray argues, in “The marketing of murder in Canada” (March 17, Times), that all forms of euthanasia are to be considered acts of murder; however, I believe the matter is rather more complicated than that—if only because centuries of moral philosophy have grappled mightily with this subject.

If someone in agony has no chance of recovery, and we take proactive measures to prolong that condition, are we really serving the interests of justice and humanity? I think not. There are times when refusing to extend a life, or even terminating it, is the right thing to do. Such decisions, however, are pro-foundly difficult for all concerned. Errors in reasoning, self-interest, even malice might run counter to our best interests.

Thankfully, civilization provides certain checks and balances, which, although imperfect and in need of ongoing improvement, assist us in making the right choice. Our legacy of law, medicine, and morality is what Mr. Gray insists could never justify an act that would end anguish. This strikes me as arrogant. I would never claim to be wise enough to make such a judgment. When some of the best minds in society collectively con-cur that extreme measures ought not to be employed to extend a person’s suffering and, more to the point, that same individual—in a state of sound mind—likewise wishes an end to it all, there might very well be a case for state-sanctioned euthanasia.

Greendale MB Church

Spring is one of the greatest times of the year. We end the

winter where there has been increased darkness and cold. Plants have died off, rain and dreariness seemed to pervade those few months.

Frankly, I find it a bit depressing. But spring is a time of new growth. We have snowdrops planted in our lawn. These small plants with white flowers are one of the earliest plants to show themselves and, for me, are a sign that spring is just around the corner.

New life, in all its forms, is a sign of hope and joy. The interesting thing about new growth is that it comes from old growth. A plant, as it ends its life, puts energy into reproduction. The flower is often the sign that the reproductive cycle has begun. The seeds are pro-duced through the flower and when it dies it reseeds into the soil around the plant. There is a logical truth with spiritual signifi-cance here.

This is Holy Week for

the Christian church. During this week there are remembrances of the life, death and res-urrection of Jesus. Jesus lived life here on earth as a normal human being. He came as the one sent by God and He was God. The gospel of John tells us that Jesus was God come in the flesh. The life of Jesus, including his many teachings, can help us to know God and follow Him. His life was perfect and yet his

enemies were able to get the common people, who at times adored him, to come to the place where they wanted him dead.

One particular teach-ing that Jesus gave us was this: Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies it remains dead. This truth is clearly shown in the life of Jesus. His life was important to understand and know God but his death, as horrible as it was, brought even greater

returns for it brought us life.

The death of Jesus was the way that God’s love was shown to us. Our sin put Jesus on the cross. God’s love paid for our sin so that we can live. John tells us that this life from God is a gift. The question for this week is, “What are you doing with God’s gift of life?” It is incredibly simple to receive. Recognize that we are all sinful people and that our sin keeps us from God. Accept that God gave us the gift of real, true life because of what took place at Jesus’ death and personally accept this gift through a declaration in your heart and speech.

Jesus death came to bring us life. As you see the new growth of spring all around you, can you rejoice in having new life in you? Even as Jesus died, so new life came through His resurrection. His is alive—embrace the gift of life and celebrate his power over death.

suddenly on the dialysis cycle.Always an independent woman

in the past, her new reliance on a machine to stay alive was disheart-ening.

But now Daley is doing better than ever, thanks to her sister’s gen-erosity.

Since their surgeries the two have been on a roll trying to get more people involved and educated, starting a Chilliwack chapter of the Kidney Foundation.

And as Kidney Health Month comes to a close, Daley and Rev-eley are taking a rest after setting up booths at various events to help spread information about the dis-ease.

“Being a recipient myself I’ve been very blessed, and I wish I could have that for everyone that’s

waiting for an organ, no matter which organ it is,” Daley said mid-March after the duo had just fin-ished a three-day expo at a local mall.

“We got 51 peo-ple signed up on the spot,” she said. “I think people are becoming more aware.”

That’s exactly their goal: raising awareness. With one-in-ten Canadians affected by the disease, there are a lot of people who feel isolated.

Reveley and Daley want that to change.

“They think they’re all alone with this disease, and they’re not,” Reve-

ley said.And along with

e d u c a t i o n , t h e sisters are hop-ing to increase the number of people who donate their organs.

They’ve seen first hand the difference it can make.

“It’s almost kind of bigger than the two of us, that such

a simple thing can make such a change,” Reveley said. “And not just in her, it’s been life changing in me as well to be part of this process.”

“It’s really been amazing.”

organs at end of life is an obvious decision to make, and Colleen says she wishes more people would sign up. She was at Cottonwood Mall earlier this month encouraging just that. She also points out, interesting-ly, that even donating a kidney while alive is much harder on the recipient than the donor.

Trevor’s life was saved, but he was on anti-rejection drugs for a long time, he will be on medication for life, and his donated kidney won’t last forever.

Colleen, who was 50 at the time of her donation, on the other hand, is just fine and was out of St. Paul’s

Hospital in two days in 2010, over to BC Children’s to visit Trevor.

“ T h e i m p a c t on the donor isn’t near as much as for what it is for the receiver,” she said. “I do function OK. People are some-times born with three kidneys and sometimes with one and are per-fectly healthy.”

The days of organ donations on your driver’s licence are gone, but it’s

possible to register for organ dona-tion in seconds at www.transplant.

bc.ca with just your health number.

O n e p e r s o n ’s end-of-life dona-t i o n c a n s a v e eight lives, not to mention the oth-er organs and tis-sues that can be life-changing.

Poised to take the BCHL Mainland division in the second round of play-offs, the Chilliwack Chiefs

come home to Prospera Centre for game five in their series against the Wenatchee Wild.

After giving up game three 5-1 in Wenatchee on Monday, the Chiefs set themselves up to advance after Tuesday’s 4-2 response for the win.

That road-series split followed a close pair of games at Prospera where the Chiefs edged the Wild Friday (4-3) and Saturday (3-2) last week to take an early 2-0 lead in round two.

Now with a 3-1 advantage, the Mainland division is within reach of the Chiefs as the teams face off Thursday in Chilliwack.

“It’s been fast hockey,” said Chil-liwack Chiefs head coach Jason Tatarnic. “Two very good hockey teams that skate well.”

Monday’s loss—the Chiefs’ first in postseason play—forced the series into extra games.

“When a team’s down 2-0 you know they’re going to come out with some desperation,” Tatarnic said.

Chilliwack’s Jeremy Germain scored the game opener halfway through the first period before Wenatchee blanked the Chief ’s offence.

But it was netminding that made the difference according to Tatarnic.

“Goaltending wasn’t our strong suit on Monday and if you’re not getting goaltending, you’re not going to win games,” he said.

Goalie Aidan Pelino was strug-gling early in that game and was replaced by Matteo Esposito after

the second Wild goal early in frame two—Esposito then let three past his guard.

But if it was goaltending that hurt them in game three, it was a prom-inent influence in Tuesday’s 4-2 win.

“Aidan Pelino was one of the best guys on the ice [on Tuesday],” Tatarnic said.

The Chiefs netminder saved 36 shots in the second game of the Town Toyota Center series, while his teammates picked up the offen-sive pace.

Darien Craighead scored two of Chilliwack’s four goals, with Ryan Forbes and Dennis Cholowski pitching in with singles.

Tatarnic knows his team will be facing a desperate Wild on the edge of elimination, but aside from a rest day Wednesday he isn’t changing

much in preparation.“We just want to keep doing what

we’re doing,” he said. “We’re just going to keep doing the things that make us successful on the ice.”

A win on Thursday puts the Chiefs into the next round of play-offs: a double round robin elimina-tion format with all three divisional champions that starts next Tues-day.

The Nanaimo Clippers will be waiting, having eliminated Powell River in only four games.

Meanwhile in the interior, West Kelowna and Penticton are tied 2-2 in their series with their next game scheduled for Friday in Penticton.◗ If the Chiefs lose Thursday, game six will be played Friday in Wenatchee, and if needed a final game would be on Saturday back at Prospera Centre.

National honour for SartoriUniversity of the Fraser Valley basketball star Kayli Sartori was named Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) second team All-Ca-nadian last week, the second UFV women’s hoopster to earn a CIS All-Canadian nod (the first was Sarah Wierks, second team in the 2014-15 season). Chilliwack’s Sartori helped the Cascades to a national bronze medal in 2013-14 and earned all-tournament hon-ours at the CIS Final 8, before she took the following season off. She rejoined the Cascades last fall and averaged 18.4 points per game to win the Canada West scoring title and finish fourth nationally. The 6’1” fourth-year guard/for-ward out of W.J. Mouat Secondary in Abbotsford, B.C. also ranked among the league leaders in rebounding (7.7 per game, 11th), assists (4.5 apg, fourth), blocks

(1.5 bpg, fourth) and steals (2.3 spg, eighth), and was named a Canada West first team all-star.

Fadai’s last fight was was May 29 last year when he defeated Parwez Ghulam at 1:31 in the second round due to stoppage for a TKO victory and the Unified MMA feather-weight belt. That fight at the Mirage Banquet Hall in Edmonton extend-ed his win streak to three which he will try to build on this April. Also out of Chilliwack, Jamie “The Gremlin” Siraj will square off against Nick Ghaeni in the main event of BFL 43 at the Hardrock Casino in Coquitlam. The two will be fighting for the 135-pound pro title almost exactly one year after Ghaeni stopped Siraj’s eight fight win streak with a unanimous decision victory over the Gremlin at BFL 35. Ghaeni is undefeated (6-0, 2-0 pro) after beat-ing Craig Maclean last November in the BFL 40 main event at Squiala Hall in Chilliwack. Siraj is now training at Tristar Gym in Montreal.

The Canadian Police Champi-onships will be hosted by the Chilliwack Curling Club from

March 26 to April 2 featuring teams from across Canada.

Local curler and former Canadi-an Police Champion Dale Hockley will be skipping the B.C. team at this event.

“Anytime you get to host a Cana-dian Championship at your club

you get to showcase not only your host curling club, but the city and surrounding area,” said Hockley who has been involved in police curling since the early ‘70s.

He has been with the B.C. team through championship wins in 1985, 1986, 2011 and 2014.

This year teams are coming to Chilliwack from the Maritimes, Quebec, Ontario, Northern Ontar-

io, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.

The tournament was opened a few years ago to include all peace officers including federal fisheries, border guards, corrections officers and more.

Chilliwack’s Randy Nelson plays second for Hockley and Team BC. Nelson went to the Brier in 2005.

shop in Port Alberni in October, but there the municipality took a very different approach.

While Chilliwack was “very, very aggressive,” according to WeeMedical Dispensary Society board member Mary Joan Liu, Port Alberni took a softer line.

Liu’s son Justin Liu runs a WeeMedical dispensary in Nanaimo and, as in Chil-liwack last week, he opened up in Port Alberni overnight with no city approval.

This led to months of debate, culminat-ing in a 5-2 vote last week to regulate dis-pensaries in Port Alberni in a way similar to Vancouver.

“We changed our zoning bylaw so that medical marijuana was a permitted use in commercial zones,” Port Alberni Coun. Chris Alemany told the Times.

They also issued a business licence and added stipulations in the zoning to forbid dispensaries within 300 metres of schools or within 1,000 metres of one another.

“It’s a contentious issue but came together around trying to recognize that we had a potential problem on our hands

if more started to open up.”And open up they did, with a total of

nine at one point in the community of approximately 17,000.

But at least with the strict regulation in place, Alemany says now they have a stick to force those within 1,000 metres of Wee-Medical (so far the only one to apply and receive a business licence) to shut down.

As for any advice to the City of Chilli-wack, Alemany said municipalities are stuck between a rock and a hard place with this one.

“You are in a terrible situation,” he said. “It’s not a situation I think that’s fair for any city council to be in. The only thing I would suggest is listen to your community and make the best decision you think is appropriate.”

At least for now, city hall isn’t listening to community feedback on the subject, but instead relying on legal advice.

- with files from the Abbotsford News and the Alberni Valley News

“Please be advised that if a marihua-na dispensary commences operation at 46000 Fifth Avenue, the City may commence legal proceedings to enforce its bylaws without further notice,” the letter said.

The business opened up March 19, three days after receiving that letter, and Gaetz said fines to the operator and owners totalling $2,000 per day were issued March 20, 21 and 22, and would continue to be issued as long as they stay open.

Vere responded with a petition targeting Chilliwack city council to allow WeeMedical to do business as a dispensary society. After six days, as of Wednesday, it had 269 supporters.

Vere said the dispensary is run on the model of a health clinic.

“We are very clinical, very clean and we are here to support patients,” she said.

“We are here to provide accountabil-ity for the product out of our shop,” Liu added.

Various strains of cannabis are for sale at the clinic in prices ranging from $10 to $13 per gram. They also sell tinc-tures, capsules and edibles. Those pur-chasing products need a membership and have to be over 19 years of age. To get a membership, clients can show a dispensary card from elsewhere or can provide a note from a doctor or other-wise prove they have a condition listed by Health Canada as treatable with medical marijuana.

According to data obtained by the Times in 2013, there were more than 500 personal use production licences in the City of Chilliwack, and 77 designat-ed person production licences.

How that marijuana is distributed by the designated licensed growers is somewhat of a mystery.

“This is better than buying out of a guy’s car in the alley,” Vere said.

When asked about that, Gaetz referred the question to Chilli-wack-Hope MP Mark Strahl or Health Canada.

“Health Canada is the body that is supposed to be regulating the distribu-tion,” she said, adding and reiterating that WeeMedical is in violation of the criminal code and city bylaws.

“If it is legalized, and we anticipate that it will be, we anticipate there will be some regulation,” she said. “We will wait for those regulations to come down then the city will move in concert with the federal and provincial governments.”

As for the police and whether a crackdown can be expected, RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Mike Rail said only this: “Businesses and/or individuals operating in contravention of the Con-trolled Drug and Substance Act (CDSA) and Health Canada Regulations may be subject to investigation and criminal charges in accordance to Canadian laws.”

showtime If you goJen Lane: April 7 at the Tractorgrease Cafe. Tickets are $10 available from Tractorgrease by calling 604-858-3814.

BY ALEX BRANDER

Special to the Times

Playing the Tractorgrease Café April 7, Jen Lane returns to Chilli-wack for the opening show of her western Canadian tour, in sup-

port of her new album This Life of Mine.Jen Lane’s self-titled debut was nom-

inated for Outstanding Independent Album at the Western Canadian Music Awards, previously the Prairie Music Awards, and follow-up For the Night for Roots Solo Recording of the Year in 2010. She’s in the running again this year with This Life of Mine.

The “Western” refers to music from the west, but Lane makes music that fits under the umbrella of country and west-ern music, and on her newest release this is more true than ever.

“There’s definitely a connection with the prairies, good ol’ country type folk-roots music tends to have its roots every-where, but I tend to draw inspiration from the prairies,” said Lane.

Alongside 10 originals, there’s a cover of Big Star’s “Thirteen” on the new record.

“It’s funny how many people have nev-er heard of them, once they hear them they say, ‘oh I’ve heard that before.’ My husband bought me a record player for Christmas a couple of years ago, and that was one of the records he bought me. When that song came on, I fell in love with it right away, I was like, what’s this! Every once in awhile you hear that gem that you wish you would have written yourself.”

Lane was born on Friday the 13th, and

says she knew the instant she heard Big Star’s track, there was a cover in the mak-ing. The audience can expect to hear a few covers at Lane’s shows, this along with JJ Cale’s “Crazy Mama,” featured on her and husband John Antoniuk’s duet album Jen & John.

Antoniuk plays in Lane’s band, as well as Lane playing in his band Smokekiller.

Jen & John, a lowkey solo-acoustic release as an EP on the duo’s label Poor Kitty, swings back and forth between roots and modern indie folk, as the two songwriters take turns at the helm. It’s been six years since Jen Lane’s For the Night, and Jen & John, strong in its own right, served as a warm-up for Lane after recovering from a foot injury.

There were even plans to head to the U.S. to work with John Keane, who has producer credits on nearly every ’90s R.E.M. release, along with Cowboy Junk-ies and then alt-country festival regulars like Vic Chesnutt, Billy Bragg and Uncle Tupelo. Instead, This Life of Mine was recorded at Bottega studio, on a 13-acre property in Kelowna, and the album proper wears its influences on its sleeve, steering closer to the “good ol’ country type folk-roots music” Lane said.

“[Bottega] was beautiful, you really didn’t feel like you were in Kelowna. There’s wine orchards everywhere, there were alpacas on the property that I just

fell in love with. We were scattered out amongst all these acreages and farms. You could be working in the studio, you need a break, step outside into this beau-tiful wilderness and tranquility.

“I still definitely have my folk-roots self in there, but this album has more of an old country flair, from listening to old

vinyls and Gram Parson, Emmylou Harris.”

There are a few tracks about the restlessness Lane felt of missing the road, including “1st Day of Spring”, where she sings about going outside on crutches and finding herself snowed in. During the recording process, what Lane describes as “the most bizarre feeling,” she received news of her grandfather passing away shortly after arriving at the

studio.“My grandpa was an artist, the last thing

he made is a totem pole, it’s in Lumsden, in Saskatchewan, right now.”

Lane and Antoniuk do all of their own booking and run their own record label, Poor Kitty. “We have a cat and we’d say, ‘Oh poor kitty, we’re going to have to leave you with a house sitter, you’re going to have to tough it out.’” Regardless of the cat’s feelings, Lane is happy to be touring again.

◗ Jen Lane plays the Tractorgrease Café April 7 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 and available from Tractorgrease by phone at 604-858-3814.

VOICES, the April 9 perfor-mance by the Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra & Cho-

rus (CSO&C), will be a feast for the eyes and ears.

With a show that is this eclectic, it’s hard to know just where to begin in describing the evening’s planned performances. The core group of orchestra and chorus will be joined by many other groups and talented individuals.

The concert will open with the male Chorus singing Gregori-an chant, one of the early forms of music in western culture, and will end with all performers on stage singing Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” which has been spe-cially arranged for orchestra, the Chilliwack Children’s Choir, Belle Voci and the Chilliwack Symphony Chorus by the CSO&C music direc-tor, Paula DeWit.

However, between the haunting notes at the beginning of the evening and the very emotional ending, the concert will progress through the ages of music and will include pieces from Chesnekov, Mozart, Faure, Karl

Jenkins, and many more. The lineup of guests is outstand-

ing. Mayor Sharon Gaetz will make her Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra debut in the singing of a Jann Arden piece entitled “Saved.”

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Rebecca Paulding and Andrew Byerlay make a great combination. Expect to hear and delight in the Chilliwack pair singing selections from Mozart’s Opera, Così Fan Tutti in the first half of the concert.

The music community, along with the city of Chilliwack and the entire Fraser Valley, lost a gifted musician at the beginning of the year. Adrian Albulescu was the concertmaster for the Chilliwack Symphony for many years and a musical tribute is planned to honour his life.

Audrey Tan’s classical pointe solo dance to Thais’ Meditation accom-panied by violinist Karina Slupski and harpist Miya Otake, will be her tribute to Albulescu.

Sixteen year old Richard Tichel-man will be performing “House of the Rising Sun.”

The Chilliwack Children’s Choir

will end the first half of the evening with Evening Prayer from the well-known opera Hansel and Gretel. In addition to singing two gorgeous Faure pieces, the Chilliwack Sym-phony Chorus will sing a 1970 Chi-cago favourite, “Color My World” featuring Rebecca Paulding and CSO flautist, Carol Dymond.

The Andrews Sisters made Bei Mir bist du schon and “Boogy Woogie Bugle Boy” famous. The CSO Starlets can’t wait to perform those num-bers for you complete with special arrangements for the orchestra.

The night will also feature a special piece very recently written by Joanne Hankey and Steve Cossins arranged for the CSO&C. This stunning work is composed to honour the Fraser River and will be showcased with a video of the river created by produc-er Matthew A. Hawkins.

◗ VOICES plays at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre April 9 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at The Centre in person or by phone at 604-391-SHOW (7469) or online: [email protected].

creations slip between sublime ecstasy of the Moon Goddess, and Siren Series into a darker world of the midnight narrative, with the series Soliloquy, Tusks, and Grail.

“I am a graduate of Chilliwack

senior secondary in 1971—I think it was ’71—and was very much involved in their visual arts program,” Rychter said.

“It was my instructors at CSS who inspired me to apply to art school in England, which I did, and I received a BFA from Brigh-ton Polytechnic in 1977, and

onto my MFA from University of Regina in 1979.”

◗ An opening reception will be held April 2 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the O’Connor Group Gallery. The gallery, located at 9201 Cor-bould St., is open Wednesday to Saturday from noon to 5 p.m.
