Today I attended Chilliwack Connect at the First Avenue Alliance Church The promoters and organizers should truly pat themselves on the back. It was wonderful – so many people from all walks of life enjoying the talents of others.

We too were visiting Americans and had our tires slashed. This was so unlike the past experiences we have had in Canada. In fact we lived in Saskatchewan for ten years and never experienced any anti-American sentiment.

Finally, somebody in the B.C. treaty negotiation system has come out and said it. Ottawa needs to get serious.

Having just finished Thanksgiving, we in the Fraser Valley have much for which to give thanks. This is especially true of all the sport fisherman who have excellent access to the wonderful Vedder River which has been producing some excellent catches of coho and chinook salmon this past week.

Who hasn’t left a funny prank comment on a friend’s Facebook wall, or had a friend upload a goofy photo of you at a less than flattering moment? It’s all in good fun, right? Maybe not.

Don’t show your cleavage here, there, anywhere, and not in my backyard (as the saying goes). Reason is: yours, mine, and our men can’t help but ogle!

I wish to take this time to thank all the wonderful people of the City of Chilliwack, parks, recreation and culture dept.

As nominations for this fall’s municipal election draw to a close, it’s clear Chilliwack voters will have plenty to choose from on Nov. 19.

Premier Christy Clark handed her opponents more ammunition last week with her latest “ready, fire, aim” episode, calling for radio and TV coverage of Stanley Cup riot prosecutions.

Every Sunday I and my wife, Urmil Singla visit church (dera) to attend a satsang (gathering of people) in Surrey. Every time different topics are discussed by different teachers (pathies). It’s a one-hour lesson – half in English, half in Punjabi. It teaches us so many methods to please God, but the main thing is “simpan” (repetition and remembrance).
