A history of Stuart David Ellis’s known criminal involvement (including two incidents as a victim) over the last 20 years: July 12, 1995 - The then 19-yearold Ellis was charged with theft over $5,000 and possession of stolen property over $5,000, eventually convicted of just the latter charge. He was sentenced to three months jail, 18 months probation. March 2, 1999 - Sentenced to three months in jail and prohibited from driving for one year after being convicted of operating a motor vehicle while disqualified. February 7, 2000 - Handed a $1,500 fine and a $500 fine respectively for failing to appear pursuant to appearance notice and possession of stolen property over $5,000. April 19, 2011 - After a Dec. 12, 2009 incident at the Echo Room Nightclub where he brandished a knife and a .45-calibre handgun, he faced 11 charges, including: uttering threats, assault, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, unauthorized possession of a firearm and possession of a prohibited firearm with ammunition. The latter charge comes with an automatic three-year-sentence, something Ellis avoided by pleading to five of the other charges. September 25, 2014 - Ellis is wanted by RCMP for assault and appears in a Crimestoppers ad in the Times. October 4, 2014 - Ellis is the victim of an alleged truck theft at gunpoint after a home invasion (at a wrong address) a few blocks away. November 25, 2014 - There are few details as the file is “limited access,” but Ellis faced a criminal trial on this date, presumably for the assault he was wanted for in September, at which time the Crown eventually issued a stay of proceedings. January 12, 2014 - Ellis is found dead, the apparent victim of a homicide, in an SUV in a driveway on Hazel Street just before midnight.

Homicide frightening, but public not at risk BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

he homicide downtown Chilliwack Monday night is the fourth in the city in just six months, a trend not seen in a long time. But that doesn’t mean the public is at risk. Mayor Sharon Gaetz proactively sought to reassure citizens Tuesday by calling the media to provide comment after the killing of Stuart David Ellis, a man who was known to police. “What I’m always thinking about is that there is some senior out there that feels so vulnerable and they don’t know that this isn’t random,” Gaetz told the Times. “The police are well aware of these people and are working hard to put them in prison.” The “these people” Gaetz refers to are the prolific offenders and other repeat offenders that monopolize so much police time in local jurisdictions and across B.C. It’s been estimated that half of all crime is committed by about 10 per cent of offenders, and a look at

the same names popping up time and again on the Chilliwack Court registry points to this fact. And while no one deserves to be killed on the streets or in their homes, police and politicians are quick to point out when crimes are targeted. “At this time IHIT investigators do not believe this was a random act, there is no reason to be concerned for public safety,” IHIT spokesperson Sgt. Stephanie Ashton said in the press release where Ellis was named. Gaetz reiterated Ashton’s call for calm with her callout to local media. Ellis’s death is the fourth homicide in the city since last summer. On July 10, 2014, Stefan Kondolay was killed in unknown circumstances in his

First Avenue home. Few details of the crime have ever been released by the RCMP and no arrests have been made. Less than a month later, on Aug. 7, Richard Blackmon and Tyler Belcourt were allegedly murdered in a Gore Avenue apartment. A woman survived the shooting. Police immediately said well-known offender Aaron Douglas was wanted for the crimes, and after 49 days on the lam, he was arrested in Abbotsford on Sept. 25. Two weeks before the Aug. 7 murders, Douglas had attempted murder charges dropped mid-trial. His case is scheduled for a 12-day preliminary hearing in the coming weeks. The cases are shocking, sad and likely point to the dangers of drugs

and a criminal lifestyle but, again, officials are quick to downplay any public safety concerns. Random folks are not being targeted; these are generally crimes among criminals. The 39-year-old Ellis had a criminal record dating back two decades when he was sentenced to three months in jail and 18 months probation for possession of stolen property over $5,000. Ellis’s name was in the paper after a Dec. 12, 2009 incident at the Echo Room Nightclub where he assaulted two people, brandished a knife and a prohibited .45-calibre handgun after being kicked out. He was in the Times again last September wanted by the RCMP for assault. As for Tyler Belcourt, his record was far from clean. Belcourt was convicted of assault and assault with a weapon for separate incidents over two months in 2010, then he was convicted of assault and theft $5,000 or under on Valentine’s Day last year, just six months before his death. Blackmon, too, had his share of trouble with the law. He was convicted of, { See HOMICIDE, page A4 }

The 24-year-old Chilliwack resident purchased tickets for the January 9th Lotto Max draw at the 7-11 on McCallum Road in Abbotsford.

Every time someone came into the store I started yelling that I had won $1 million.” The aspiring rapper plans to celebrate his win by purchasing an apartment in Whistler and spending the winter snowboarding. As for his future, Goldrick is looking forward to creating new career opportunities and getting some financial advice. “I’m going to take some financial advice because I know what it’s like to have no money,” says Goldrick. “I don’t want to blow it on anything.”

Facebook tribute to Ellis alludes to drug problem scheduled to testify as a witness in a trial for unlawful confinement. Those charges were eventually dropped. There have already been official statements to reiterate the general safety of the community despite targeted homicides and assaults on individuals with known criminal histories, but there is also the sheer numbers of homicides to look at. There have

been 15 homicides in Chilliwack in the last 10 years and, counting this week’s, just five in the last five years. (This does not factor in people who have been missing and presumed murdered such as Deano Paus or Kelly Rideout.) There were three homicides in 2014 and in 2010. All other years there were either one or two except 2011 and 2013 with zero. As for Ellis, tributes from

HAFI Funds Home Modifications for Disabled Man When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13 years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced. “The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small. I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.” Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheelin shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.

“ I just slide into the shower now,” said Walter. “I feel safer and no longer dread trying to wash myself. What was previously a dangerous chore for me is now a welcome treat.” Walter and Lorie hope to spend the rest of their lives in their home. The HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

Crown seeks to silence Douglas BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

acing two charges of murder and one of attempted murder, Aaron Douglas took issue with a no-contact list a Chilliwack judge ordered before Christmas. In court Monday, Crown counsel Allan Mandell told the judge his office was concerned that Douglas had violated the no-contact order and, in one case, made a call from the Surrey Pre-Trial Centre to someone who then connected him to a person on his banned list. Mandell asked Judge Kenneth

Skilnick to add two names to the no-contact list: the brother and the mother of names already on the list. “These people have all expressed some concern with being contacted by Mr. Douglas,” Mandell said. Douglas is charged with the Aug. 7 murders of Richard Blackmon and Tyler Belcourt in a downtown Chilliwack apartment. He is also charged in the attempted murder of a woman who survived the attack. Her name cannot be reported due to a publication ban. One of the men Douglas is ordered to have no contact with himself has an extensive criminal record. The

brother added to the list Tuesday also has a record, and had weapons charges dropped after a 2007 incident in Agassiz. Douglas’s lawyer Ken Beatch said his client opposes the list of people he is ordered not to contact, and a hearing to argue that will be held in the coming weeks. “He’s not happy with the scope of the non-contact order,” Beatch said. On Monday, lawyers discussed scheduling for a 12-day preliminary hearing prior to the trial for murder and attempted murder. Douglas is next scheduled in court via video link on Feb. 4.

Local youth lighting up less BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

hile it’s true that half of all smokers end up dying of smoking-related illnesses, and 6,000 British Columbians die each year from tobacco-related diseases, young people continue to light up. In Chilliwack, fewer youth are smoking compared to the rest of the province. But the numbers still aren’t great. Recent studies found Chilliwack youth have tried smoking at a slightly lower rate than their peers across B.C.

The Chilliwack Community Health Profile from 2013 compiled by Fraser Health found 17 per cent of local youth had smoked, compared to 18 per cent provincewide. A second benchmark, the McCrear y Adolescent Health Survey found 21 per cent of B.C. high-school students have tried smoking. In the Fraser East region, that rate was 18 per cent, although it was 16 per cent in Fraser South and just 14 per cent in Vancouver. Next week—Jan. 18 to 24—is National Non-Smoking Week (NNSW) and involves agencies at all levels of government to help

people stop smoking. A number of promotional campaigns are set up to get smokers to quit. There is the Weedless Wednesday program as part of NNSW, which takes the approach that quitting takes one day at a time. Fraser Health links to a number of services from its website, including Quitnow.ca and the B.C. Smoking Cessation Program, which started in 2011. And if you are a man, you can even win $2,500 for stopping smoking this year. A BC Lung Association program at quitnowmen.ca is offering two $2,500 cash prizes to guys who quit for one week, Feb. 1 to 7.

A close eye on the new media

◗ Publisher

ot everyone will take an educational course seriously if it has the words “Simpsons” or “wrestling” in the title. But niche media courses (see today’s Cover Story) are nothing new (think of those who’ve spent their higher education studying Tolkienology) and are arguably more important than ever. A recent “Every Simpsons Ever” marathon on FXX drew almost 25 million viewers in 12 days with a massive audience in the 18-to-49 age group. And the 26-season show still ranked ninth in the U.S. Nielsen ratings during the final week of December last year. Last Monday WWE Raw had more than 11 million cable viewers across three time zones. But let’s face it, Nielsen ratings don’t tell the whole story in a world of YouTube and file sharing. Add our myriad of devices to the mix for constant access and instant sharing, and these subcultures are getting magnified and amplified at an incredible rate. The (especially U.S.) media network is far-reaching and extremely influential both at home and abroad, shaping everything from conversation topics to world views—and occasionally even political angst as we saw with the release of The Interview. Not only should new media be taken seriously, but because of the rate it’s being consumed we should all study it more closely.

No less safe today, than yesterday

t’s been said before but I think it bears repeating: Despite the ink spilled in these pages regarding criminal activity in Chilliwack—and the digital hot air blown on social media over same—the general public is, generally, quite safe. I’ve lived in Chilliwack for eight years and I’ve had nothing stolen nor have I been subject to or involved in any crime of any kind . . . said the guy searching for a piece of wood to knock. That said, if you’ve had one stolen bike or car, not to mention had a family member who was the victim of a mugging or sexual assault, a falling crime rate is irrelevant. The family of Stuart Ellis had the crime rate land in their living room on Tuesday. For the victim of a recent home invasion, the fact that it is exceedingly uncommon is cold comfort indeed. And for someone like Chilliwack’s Deborah Halliday who patiently awaits the sentencing for the young man who tried to kill her, the fact that attempted murder is staggeringly rare doesn’t matter. It happened. To them. I get that. But there is a difference between

PAUL J. HENDERSON @peejayaitch sympathizing with the victim of an individual crime as a fellow human being and dispassionately analyzing the public safety measures utilized to deal with preventing such measures. Let’s not try to kill a cockroach with a hand grenade. It is not incongruous to shed a tear for Stuart Ellis while feeling no need to crack down particularly in any specific way in any area of criminal activity Over the last 20 years, or maybe more, there has been an increasing urge in all news media to cover issues in different ways. This is a good thing. It is less interesting to report that something happened than reporting why it happened. One side effect, however, of this approach to the news—and I’m talking broadcast TV news here—is that every incident or story requires a broader con-

text from which reporters need to draw. Every incident is a symptom of something larger. Nothing happens in a vacuum, right? But sometimes things do happen for no interesting reason. I feel like there has been a decrease in the number of incidents needed to spur news producers to declare an epidemic or a systemic problem. In the old days it would take three, four, five or more serious incidents, assaults, for example, in a much-used park before the news would declare a public emergency. Now it takes two and sometimes even one incident of, say, a home invasion before we are told to install security cameras and not answer our doors. I exaggerate slightly, but only slightly. When in doubt, the question-towhich-the-answer-is-probably-no headline approach is used: “Two dead in car accident: Are our roads safe to drive on?” or “Liquor store robbed by drug addict: Has meth use taken over our streets?” Often the media conflate issues out of proportion in a quest to get to the heart of a story or an issue. Even covering crime at all, arguably, overstates its

relevance compared to other important issues facing the community. The problem, I think, is a common human misuse of inductive versus deductive logic. Inductive logic goes along the lines of: A, B, C therefore D. Deductive is the opposite: A=B, B=C, therefore A=C. Deductive logic is flawless, inductive logic has limits although it keeps us sane. Every day I drive to work and don’t get in a car accident, therefore I won’t be in one tomorrow. This is flawed logic, strictly speaking, even if the conclusion turns out to be true. Add the pervasive if naturally human overuse of inductive logic to the information overload we are now subject to in a digital, connected world, and what you get is the paranoid screeches of a near mob mentality that is ubiquitous on social media. Every crime appears to be symptomatic of a trend. Another murder is literally the end of the world for one man, and nearly so for his family and close friends. We are, however, no less safe today than we were yesterday.

Then there is also the unanswered question posed by Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory which states that the sequestration dramatically increases the risk of earth quakes and as they tend to be located near population centres the toll extracted would be high. Strange that environmentalists, who ordinarily would demand a full-fledged environmental assessment before a highway or a power plant can be built, are silent on the need to question proponents of their religion or even examine alternatives. Climate does change, always has and always will. But to suggest that our puny contribution in CO2 emissions is a driv-

This has been a well published series of events and I trust that it is recognized for the fraud that it was, irrespective whether the participants and their peers desire to publicly acknowledge this.

A tradition worth a repeat Editor: What a great future hatch of Kara’s concept of “Start of a holiday tradition,” Chilliwack

Times, Jan. 1. The reality is Christmas caroling was a tradition from the early days of Yarrow when church groups would sing Christmas carols at the windows, especially for shut-ins. But now with the Yarrow Chapter of the Back Country Riders, initiated by Kara, there is a wonderful revival of that practice. May it show up again at Christmas, 2015. The resident who volunteered to pick up the “cookies” left by the horses for his compost just affirms the earthy support of the Yarrow residents for this tradition to continue. The photo of the Back Country Riders, thanks to Hugh Martell, is superb with the Yarrow EcoVillage in the background. Speaks for the creativity of the Yarrow citizens, incidentally, also my home from 1932 to 1952 when my grandfather, Dietrich Rempel, moved from friendly Manitoba with his children and grandchildren to Yarrow.

Editor: In the Jan. 8 edition of the Chilliwack Times, Mr. Thomas Cheney is taking Dr. Throness and Mr. Carradice to task on their climate change position. As is the case quite often, CO2 is trotted out as Mr. Cheney’s mainstay of his rather broad swipe. So what does CO2 do to us and the earth? Until the 1980s, ecologists had no way to systematically track growth in plant matter in every corner of the earth. That changed when satellites were engaged through NASA. Now they could actually measure the land’s daily output down to the kilometre. A scientist from the university of Montana and from NASA found that the earth had become more bountiful by approximately six per cent over a period of 20 years. Carbon is the building block of life and 32,000 scientists realized this by signing a petition vouching for the benefit of CO2 in an effort to preempt the poisonous efforts of the American EPA to declare CO2 harmful. However, in as much that people had nothing to do with the period of warming coming out of the Little Ice Age over the last couple of centuries, they also have nothing to do with a reversal taking place. The CO2 release from the warm oceans will revert into attracting CO2 as they cool. Just the oceans’ contribution in the CO2 management is so astronomical in relation to what modern man contributes that we are of no account. That’s why we have seen an increase over the last centuries without human contribution. It will also decrease with or without human contribution. Add to this government induced measures such as decrease of CO2 production and CO2 sequestration and we have mix of a cooling earth which will need far more fertilizers to produce the ever increasing demand of food,

f you’re anything like me, you spend enough time reading and staying connected with what’s going on in the world to realize that while there is a lot of good to be seen, simultaneously, we see forces at work in the human mind and heart that cause tremendous fear, pain and destruction. Recent events in Paris remind us all that men blinded by their own fears, agendas, and prejudices are capable of acts of seemingly mindless cruelty. In fact, we are forewarned in a Bible passage that days would come that will be difficult to bear. It says in 2 Timothy chapter 3 people would be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, abusive, disobedient, unthankful, brutal, and heartless. The list is actu-

Overcome evil with good

ally quite a bit longer than that. Now before anyone looks for the nearest bridge, I have some great news. None of this catches God off guard. In fact, Jesus said in John 16:33 “in this world you’re going to have trouble but it’s OK you can be happy because I have overcome the world.” I can’t promise you that difficult circumstances won’t come knocking at your door but I can promise, because Jesus does, that we have the ability through His help to endure and victoriously get past those circumstances. We can overcome evil. So how do we do this? Well, to quote Michael Jackson we start

with the man in the mirror. That’s you. That’s me. There’s no sense in trying to make the world a better place without all of us first taking the responsibility to change ourselves. Jesus said it best when He told us not to fuss over the sliver in our neighbour’s eye when we have a 2x4 in ours. In truth, unless we make the commitment to change ourselves we won’t have the moral authority to expect others to change. In Romans 12:21 it says not to be overcome by evil but to overcome evil with good. This commandment provokes me because it demands I take action. As I understand it, we all

have the responsibility to resist evil by not allowing it to prevail in our families, community, and society in general. We’re not allowed to be indifferent even if it doesn’t directly impact us or those we hold dearest. We have to stand up to it. For example, our past leaders learned this the hard way when they failed to act sooner and stand up to Hitler and the growing wave of destruction and suffering that followed him. The second part of that verse tells us we overcome evil with good. This is where with self-sacrifice and a love that prevails we can all make a difference. It won’t be easy and

to be honest I don’t believe we can sustain it without first personally experiencing the love that God has for us as individuals and in turn for all mankind. You see, what enables us to love unconditionally even those who’ve done us wrong, is to realize we’ve all done God wrong and He still loves us. If He’s willing to do us good, to bless us with good things then we in that same spirit can do good to others. We may never meet in person but my prayer for all of us in 2015 is that we would all experience the love that liberates our hearts and frees us from the repetitive cycle of evil for evil and together, with God’s help, we build a better world for our families and the generations to follow. ◗ Craig Byers is a pastor with Keystone Church.

For many people, the first action to relieve constipation is laxatives. Unfortunately, laxatives can be very hard on your body and can become habit-forming... causing long term constipation. A healthy and effctive alternative is CleanseMore. CleanseMORE is a natural colon formula made specifically to help relieve constipation. It gently stimulates the colon’s normal functions to promote better elimination. The most common cause of constipation is dehydration. CleanseMORE enhances hydration of the colon with the mineral,

Chiefs lose grip on top spot I

t’s been a rough reboot for the Chilliwack Chiefs since the holiday break, the team now losing its grip as leader of BCHL’s Mainland division after a three-game series with the Langley Rivermen last weekend. Increasing their Mainland lead, the Chiefs took Friday’s game 3-2 before dropping the next two 4-1 and 5-1 to their current rival, giving up top spot in the end. Their victory early in the weekend came from a 2-1 lead after the first period, combined with a first star performance from Chiefs goaltender Aidan Pelino. Brandon Tkachuk and Tipper Higgins scored in the late half of the first frame, followed by a Jake Larson goal in the second to make

it 3-2 going into the final 20 minutes of play. A single goal by Langley’s Dante Hahn early in the third period was the only response from the hosts, earning the Chiefs their only win of the weekend. The next night at Prospera Centre Tkachuk scored the only Chiefs goal, leading to a final score of 4-1 for Langley. It was the first glimpse at recently acquired goalie David Jacobson in action but the scoreboard did not reflect on the new goalie’s perfor-

mance, according to head coach Jason Tatarnic. “The fans that watched Jacobson play on Saturday would have left impressed with him,” said Tatarnic. “The thing about him is he can move the puck really well, he’s a very confident goaltender and I think that’s going to benefit our team and it’s going to benefit Aidan Pelino as well. “Now we have two goaltenders that are going to fight for every inch of that crease to be in it.” Losing by an even larger margin on Sunday in Langley (5-1) the Chiefs moved to 1-5 in their last six games. Again, Tatarnic said the fault did not rest with the goalie. “I thought they left [Pelino] out to dry in that game,” he said. “Our

per cent more likely to succeed in quitting smoking using e-cigarettes compared to would-be quitters who tried a nicotine patch or gum. Background information in the report suggests that, since the e-cigarette vapour only contains nicotine and not tobacco smoke, e-cigarettes may help

uitting smoking and losing weight consistently top New Year’s resolutions lists. In an effort to stop smoking, a growing number of smokers are turning to electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, to help them quit once and for all. Although e-cigarettes are not currently regulated, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is weighing regulations in a market that estimates suggest could be as big $5 billion in 2015. But are these devices safe? Or even effective? There is mixed information regarding the efficacy of e-cigarettes to help a person quit smoking. Some studies point to e-cigarettes as a good method of smoking cessation, while others say there’s limited evidence to support those claims. E-cigarettes typically contain liquid nicotine, which is inhaled as vapor. The vapor resembles smoke and can mimic the look and feel of smoking traditional cigarettes. But e-cigarettes typically do not contain any of the additional chemicals, such as tar and other potentially toxic ingredients, found in traditional cigarettes. Nicotine cartridges for e-cigarettes also come in various concentrations and flavours, and smokers can even purchase nicotine-free replacement cartridges. Much like users of nicotine patches or chewers of nicotine gum, e-cigarette smokers can gradually lower their nicotine doses over time. The American Lung Association currently has not approved any e-cigarette as a safe or effective method to help smokers quit. They cite a study that estimates there are nearly 500 different e-cigarette brands today with varying levels of nicotine and the possible presence of other chemicals. These e-cigarettes are unregulated. The ALA says there is a great deal more to learn about these products before they can be recommended as a safe and effective way for smokers to wean themselves off of smoking. E-cigarettes may contain additional chemicals besides nicotine. Studies have found detectable levels of chemicals used in antifreeze in two leading brands of e-cigarettes. Formaldehyde and benzene have been detected in some e-cigarette emissions. Other studies

Wierks now in 3rd

Chilliwack’s Sarah Wierks moved up the Canada West all-time rebounding list last weekend.

She was also named the Canada West first star of the week for her role in leading UFV’s women to sweep the series against the Cougars. Wierks had two

As for the goaltender swap, head coach Jason Tatarnic said the team wasn’t actively looking for a goaltender but when Jacobson became available and was presented it was an opportunity they couldn’t pass up. “For the last part of the season we want to make a push,” Tatarnic said.

Jacobson leaves his third season in the USHL and has a goals against average (GAA) David of 3.07 and Jacobson a save percentage of .890 in his 19 games with the Thunder. The Californian played in goal for the Chiefs in Saturday’s loss to Langley, and earned second star.

Both are important games for the Chiefs as they aim to

take back the Mainland lead. Having lost two games to Surrey right after Christmas should be the right motivation for Chilliwack to win, according to Tatarnic. “If we’re really concentrating on first place in our division we want those two games,” he said. “That sets us up nicely for Langley on Wednesday.” ◗ The Chiefs host Victoria at 7 p.m. Friday, Surrey at 7 p.m. on Saturday and then head back to Langley for a 7 p.m. game on Wednesday.

he Chilliwack Chiefs announced two moves before the Jan. 10 final trade deadline. The Chiefs acquired 19-year-old forward Scott Davidson from the Trail Smoke Eaters and goaltender David Jacobson, 20, from the USHL’s Bloomington Thunder. Davidson is expected to play for the Quinnipiac Bobcats in the NCAA next season, and has 11 goals and 18 assists for Trail in 37 games this season.

Escape from the dogma to alleviate that fear. What better than a story and promise of an afterlife. That doesn’t make it true but I imagine believing it would lend a certain comfort. I often wonder how much further along we’d be if not for the centuries steeped in supernatural beliefs. I wonder how many lives would be saved if not for religious resistance to stem cell research. I wonder if the LGBT community would be fighting and dying for equal rights if not for the “holy text” which condemns them. I wonder how many children would be spared victimization by pedophiles routinely hidden by the Catholic church. I wonder how many little girls wouldn’t fall victim to female genital mutilation if not for religious dogma. If not for religious dogma clinging to beliefs and rituals perpetuated by a collection of ancient scribbles—I wonder. “Fairy tales begin with Once upon a time. Imagine what a wonderful world it would be if the Bible began with Once Upon a Time.” - JT Eberhard

s the days grow longer and with another winter solstice behind us, I find myself looking around at our place on the planet. Our good fortune in winning life’s biggest lottery—being born. Out of the billions that might have been—it was us! I grew up in a small isolated predominantly Christian prairie town—surrounded by more small isolated predominantly Christian prairie towns—separated only by miles and conflicting beliefs. There were seven churches serving a population of approximately five hundred and representing four different Christian sects. However Mom managed it on her own, we were raised sans indoctrination. Other than attending a small Anglican church— built by my grandfather on land he had donated—for social occasions and the two weeks we spent at summer Bible school each year, we were for the most part, left to our own devices and encouraged to question. There was no one moment I began questioning the validity of the Bible stories, or doubting that a magic being had made all, knew all, and lived in the sky. I

simply remember thinking none of it matched what I knew to be true. I was around 12 when I realized that even if the stories were true, I couldn’t worship any of the characters in the old book that everyone else held dear—most certainly not the jealous and vengeful God character. Did I wish there was a magic being in the sky telling us right from wrong? Did I wish the God character everyone prayed to on Sundays was real? I did. Every time someone got sick and died. Every time something terrible happened for no apparent reason. I noticed that no matter how many prayers or how many people prayed, nothing demonstrable changed. People young and old died and crops failed. Everything one would expect to happen if there was no grand plan or no God who loved us . . . happened. It never seemed rocket science to me that if a god did exist— watching over and protecting everyone—he was conspicuously absent. Either he didn’t care or he was highly incompetent. As disconcerting as it was, I was fairly certain that we were equally susceptible to nature’s wrath as was every other animal on the planet. The only big difference was possibly our ability to contemplate our own demise and the innate need

Time to dig into garden planning BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

Master gardener Jack Kouwenhoven turns over dirt in his backyard garden to reveal carrots. It may be January, but there is lots of work for avid gardeners to keep busy with.

he last remnants of early January’s snow nestles among the green ribbons of a rye cover crop on one of Jack Kouwenhoven’s vegetable garden beds. Next to it, the master gardener pulls a piece of old carpet off a patch of chocolate-coloured ground, churns the soil gently and reveals a nest of thick carrots. Back to the house, and Kouwenhoven continues work on rejuvenating his worm bins. Shreds of back copies of this very newspaper lie ready to be mixed with organic material as food for his wriggly underground friends. “It’s the most valuable thing a person can do,” Kouwenhoven says of the worm “juice” that will be created during the growing season when the worms come out of dormancy. Sure it’s January and the rest of the country is amid a not atypical mid-winter deep freeze but here in Chilliwack there is gardening to do. If not gardening, the work that surrounds the gardening—the preparation—is already in full flight for the green thumb set. “If you don’t plan that out then it never really works out,” says backyard gardener Rachel Knudsen. “Planning is a huge part of successful gardening.” Knudsen is behind the Food Matters Gardening Club—a group that is part of the larger Food Matters Chilliwack—and she’s organized a gardeners’ planning meeting for next week. The group is meeting at the Sardis Library on Jan. 22 at 6:30 p.m. for a potluck meal, and to “geek out” on the research side of growing veggies. Knudsen said now is the time when gardeners dig out their gardening journals, remind themselves about

what worked and what didn’t last year, and map out their plot. This is also seed-buying season so gardeners get their hands on just what they need to either start indoors, or to plant outside right when the warm enough weather hits. “Time can pass quickly and things get away on you and, oops, I forgot to put the peas in,” she says. “Planning is really, really helpful.” And while many backyard gardeners are planning now for spring, Kouwenhoven said he planned for the

ne of the best things about Italian cuisine can be its simplicity, and one of the best things about winter is eating soup. One of the commonly asked questions directed to me is for easy, fast, and delicious soup recipes. This is the one I recommend all the time. This soup is hearty and because it is loaded with Italian sausage, gnocchi pasta, tomatoes, garlic, and incredible cheese it is everything you would expect from an Italian soup . . . but also very quick and easy to prepare. If you have never heard of “gnocchi” pasta before, don’t despair —vacuum sealed packages of the small dumpling-like pasta shapes can be found at almost all major grocery stores down the pasta aisle. Don’t underestimate the choice of the Pecorino Romano cheese as the finishing garnish for this soup as it adds incredible flavour and compliments and balances all the other flavours in this soup beautifully. Large shavings of this cheese are easily prepared with a simple vegetable peeler. Shave it directly onto the individually bowled soup portions just prior to serving. This looks much more rustic and gourmet than simply grating it, but either way is fine. If you can’t find Pecorino Romano, a

16 8 chunk of Parmigiano Reggiano will have to suffice. Enjoy and keep warm this winter.

Thursday, January January 15, 15, 2015 2015 A23 A23 Thursday,

If you go The Addams Family: Jan. 16 to 25, 7:30 p.m. at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. Tickets are $20 and $15. Purchase by phone at 604-391-SHOW(7469).

Kooky kind of musical CSOPA presents the twisted but always lovable The Addams Family

he creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky Addams Family takes to the stage in an all-new story, based on the bizarre and beloved characters created by Charles Addams. The Addams Family features an original story, and it’s every father’s nightmare. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family—a man her parents have never met. And if that weren’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before—keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents. The Addams Family opened at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on Broadway in April 2010, where it grossed more than $62 million before closing on New Year’s Eve 2011, after 757 performances. It starred Nathan Lane as Gomez and Bebe Neuwirth as Morticia Addams, and was based on the original cartoons created by Charles Addams. In a prolific career spanning six decades, Charles Addams created several thousand cartoons, sketches and drawings, many of which were published in The New Yorker. But it was his creation of characters that came to be known as The Addams Family that brought Addams his greatest acclaim. With a unique style that

combined the twisted, macabre and just plain weird with charm, wit and enchantment, Addams’ drawings have entertained millions worldwide and served as the inspiration for multiple television series and motion pictures. Gomez Addams will be played by CSOPA veteran Caylen Braun, wife Morticia by Hannah deNevers, daughter Wednesday by Kessia Warren (understudied by Kirsten MacDonald), son Pugsley by Adrienne Reitsma, and Grandma by Raven Regino and newcomer Katie Schram. Lurch to be played by Mark Wiens, and Uncle Fester by Mitchell Courtemanche. First-time CSOPA student Blake Pyne will portray Wednesday’s love interest, Lucas, while Jonathan Woyke and Meghan Mindel will play his parents, Mal and Alice Beineke. The chorus of Addams Ancestors will be played by Maxwell Glover, Josh Robinson, Conrad Loeppky, Cooper Loeppky, Yiorgos Sahamis, Ian Lees, Amber Wilber, Hailey Hanson, Melynda Barson, Brooke Carter, Shareena Malhi, Rachael Olivares, Olivia Moniz, Hailey Bate, Omaya Hammoud and Kirsten MacDonald. Andrew Smith is the director, Lisa Zimmer the vocal director, Trischa Buhler the orchestra director, and Shelley Wojcik is the choreographer. Set by Carolyn Rapanos, costumes by Heather Westergard, makeup by Nicole Friesen, lights by Jamea Lister and Stage Management by Lisa Braun. ◗ The Addams Family opens on Jan. 16 and runs until Jan. 25. with 7:30 p.m. evening performances on Jan. 16, 17, 22, 23, 24. There are 2 p.m. matinee performances on Jan. 17, 18, 24, 25. Adults $20, students and seniors $15. The Jan. 17 matinee is just $9.75. Tickets can be purchased by calling the Cultural Centre box office at 604-391-SHOW (7469).

An Untitled piece by Cree artist Jerry Whitehead.

Cree artist show at Art Room

ree artist Jerry Whitehead’s vibrant and passionate work will be on display at the Art Room until the end of February. The Chilliwack Community Arts Council in collaboration with School District 33 Aboriginal Education Department are proud to present “Inspirations.” Whitehead, a Saskatchewan born artist, creates colourful and lively art with an emphasis on powwows and powwow dancers. “Powwow dancers have been an ongoing theme in my work since I began painting,” he said. “Seeing the dancers as a child had a lasting impression. The subject matter has been ideal for expressing a part of

my culture as well as accommodating changes in my work.” His interest in art stems from his family: his grandmother worked with hides and his mother with beadwork and braided rugs. He credits his family’s encouragement in helping him to develop his art. As family man himself now, he more frequently incorporates family themes into his work. Along with his natural talent, Whitehead has obtained technical training and has a Bachelor of Arts in Indian Art from the Saskatchewan Indian Federated College and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax.

Whitehead currently resides in Vancouver, but his work can be seen throughout western Canada. For more information on Jerry Whitehead visit www.jerrywhitehead.com

◗ The opening reception is Jan. 23 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Art Room: 20 – 5725 Vedder Rd. RSVP required, as space is limited. Meet the artist, enjoy light refreshments, live music and a no-host bar. Artwork will be available for purchase. Whitehead’s show runs until Feb. 24. Gallery hours are Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 am to 4 p.m. For more information or to RSVP call 604-769-2787.

Blakeborough, a fan of pro wrestling himself, wearing a luchador mask.

These UFV students have enrolled in Blakeborough’s Wrestling with Culture course, a special topics course that takes a different approach at teaching media and communications theory. “I realized that it was one of those avenues that we could literally look at almost everything,” said Blakeborough. “We can talk about spectacle and ritual and class and gender and all of these through a different lens.” Using that lens, the instructor hopes his students will get the same kind of education background and concepts as they would in other courses, but in a “unique, interesting and hopefully entertaining way.” Because of its popularity, the syllabus focuses on the WWE league. But there is also discussion about Mexican luchadores, Japanese pro wrestling, backyard wrestling, and the professional wrestling industry itself. Last winter, Ravenous Randy of the Elite Canadian Championship Wrestling (ECCW) league visited the class to talk about how he got into a career of pro wrestling and the training involved with the work. And a week after Randy’s visit, the group took a field trip to the Russian Community Centre in Kitsilano to watch an ECCW card, where their new wrestling friend played heavily to the UFV section, bionic elbows abound. “It was a lot of fun,” Blakeborough said. “I think we actually made some wrestling fans of people who weren’t before.” Former student of the course Reace Buchner is one of those converts, and said Wrestling with Culture is the best course he’s taken at UFV to this point. The fourth year sociology/media and communications student didn’t know anything about professional wrestling when he signed up for the class. If anything, he said he had a negative perception of the craft. “I watch wrestling all the time now,” Buchner. said “I’m invested in it now, I watch all the pay-per-views.” He can’t help scrutinizing the matches with a more critical academic eye, but admits he is just as interested in the story lines and action. And his fandom extends to the

WWE’s Raw a good reflection of what’s going on in society instructor who taught him all about his new-found entertainment hobby. “Darren is absolutely fantastic,” Buchner said. “[Pro wrestling] is one of this passions—you can definitely tell. “He knows about the theory behind it and what actually happens, and he answers every question with excellent points.” Just as audience participation can make or break a wrestling match, Blakeborough’s classes are run with a style that encourages interaction and conversation, according to Buchner. But despite its unorthodox subject matter, the course had low enrollment this semester and almost wasn’t offered. “A lot of people avoid it because they don’t know anything about wrestling or they don’t like wrestling,” said Buchner. “But I definitely think that if you avoid it just for that reason, you’re going to miss out.” Living in the ‘network age’ A course about professional wrestling might seem like an odd fit with academia at first glance, but Blakeborough insists these forms of popular media need to be examined. “When I was an undergrad student I had that grand epiphany in one of my media classes that those cultural objects that I engage with every single day that I love—music, television, film, sports—was actually a genuine area of academic investigation,” he said. No stranger to designing and delivering unconventional courses, Blakeborough has taught a Simpsons-based curriculum and is even talking about a potential Walking Dead class in the near future. “We live in an age which is often referred to as the network age and we think about all the different ways that people all over the globe are interconnected now through technology and through media,” said the Media and Communications instructor. “And the biggest network, the most powerful network, the richest most consuming network on the globe is still the media network.”

By virtue of that alone it’s important to look at those subcultures that are on our media network, according to Blakeborough—especially as we surround ourselves with more and more access points through phones, tablets, wi-fi and wearables. Looking at the surface of professional wrestling in the past and present it’s been homophobic, xenophobic, and anti-female among other things. But shows like WWE’s Raw also provide a good reflection of what’s going on in our society. “Everything is so overblown and over the top that on one hand you’re not supposed to take it seriously,” Blakeborough said. “And, in fact, you could argue that it’s asking you to question these representations.” Still a fan of pro wrestling, the UFV instructor laments about the low point the WWE has currently reached in entertainment value, but holds out hope that the build up to Wrestlemania will invigorate his and his students’ mandatory viewing over the weeks ahead. It will help that this year Blakeborough looks to get long-time ECCW wrestler and owner Scotty Mac to campus, and another trip to the ring is already booked for February. Blakeborough is also looking forward to his favourite week about authenticity in pro wrestling. In an interview Bret Hart told the UFV instructor the biggest tribute that somebody could pay to the vet was asking him after a match if it was real. Hart considers it an art form where the artist is the one that is able to create the illusion of reality. “It’s meant to convey something in the same way that a Rembrandt is or a Pollock,” Blakeborough said. “It’s about seeing something and getting some kind of feeling, that emotional connection to it.” Just as art fans are divided on Jackson Pollock’s work, professional wrestling isn’t for everyone. But because millions of devotees still consume piledrives and camel clutch-like moves on multiple media platforms every week, it is certainly worthy of discussion.

AS SEEN ON ARKETPLA CE C’S M Thanks Bruce I have a young family, a husband and three kids and my life is very complex. I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses was something I couldn’t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didn’t need an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less than I paid for one pair at my regular optometrist. I couldn’t believe how great the deal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere but Great Glasses in the future. I’m so glad that Bruce was willing to fight for good customer value. Sincerely, Amy Gill
