A FOOTBALL FAMILY

Fugitive’s criminal past links to our city Guilty of violent sexual assault in Vedder Crossing BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

or a three-year-old, Jameson Harvey looks serious about football when he takes his three-point stance on Townsend Park turf. But he is soon distracted by a ladybug that, deciding to join the game, has landed on the ball under his hands. Too young to join the real game at this point, little Jameson has to settle for family scrimmages like this one with his new-found beetle friend on a sunny March afternoon. He’ll have to wait to start with the Chilliwack Giants flag football until he turns five, and he’s already got his position picked out. “I want to play quarterback,” Jameson says. It’s no surprise Jameson is interested

The gridiron Harvey family bleeds Giants football . . . all eight of them in the sport as every other member of his family is somehow involved in the Giants football league. Families are the foundation of a successful community sports league, and it’s hard to imagine a more solid underpinning for the league than the eight-member Harvey clan. The Harveys have been involved with the organization for more than eight years doing just about every task necessary to help the league function. “It just seemed the perfect fit for our family,” says Jameson’s mother Jenny Harvey. “There are so many other families that have three or four kids all playing at some level. It’s just a fun day, it’s a fun atmosphere.”

But this pillar of the Giants community might have to leave all that fun and Chilliwack behind. Jenny’s husband Bryan recently lost his job and the Harvey’s will have to relocate wherever work leads him. “Our kids would definitely miss it,” Jenny says. “We’ve made so many good friends in the community.” It would be a tough blow for the football organization as well as the Harveys. Jenny and Bryan have volunteered, sat on the executive, coached and announced while their children have contributed to the Giants both on and off the field. There’s Jaxon, the oldest son, who

ity hall isn’t backing down from the threat of a $2.8 million lawsuit over raising Young Road on Fairfield Island by one metre. And the back and forth between lawyers for the city and affected residents is underway. Meanwhile, signs went up last week and crews began clearing brush and cutting down trees on the stretch of Young Road where the work is to be done and completed by the fall. About 15 residents gathered Saturday on Young Road with “Stop the Dyke” signs to rally against the project. Led by Mayor Sharon Gaetz’s brother Dave Hallett, the residents along Young Road and some on side streets collectively hired local lawyer Delwen Stander to try to stop the plan approved on Feb 3. It was then that city council voted four to two to spend $780,000 to raise Young Road (the East Dyke) by one metre to meet new provincial flood guidelines. The money is one third of the approved budget of $2.34 million and will be matched by provincial and federal funding. Critics of the plan, which have included Couns. Chris Kloot and Ken Popove, say the money should be

(Gaetz has stepped out of all discussion about the subject because of her brother’s property.) The Young Road residents say that based on current assessed values, an estimated 20 per cent loss in property value amounts to at least $2.8 million. On Thursday, the city issued a press release in response to media reports about the lawsuit, in which it said the Young Road project is in the best interests of residents.

“The city does not agree that the claims that have been threatened are legally supportable, but that is not really the point,” Acting Mayor Sam Waddington said in the release. “If the city is required to pay compensation to some nearby landowners who are affected by the work, then it will respect that legal obligation. That is just a fact of life we face in local government. Some public projects give rise to private claims, and some do not.” The city says the Young Road dike protects 40,000 Chilliwack residents and most of the city. But if extended,

Gill Bar cleanup this Saturday

he organizers of the annual spring clean-up at Gill Bar on the Fraser River in Chilliwack are at it again this year Saturday, March 28. Last year’s cleanup was a huge success with approximately 9,300 kilograms of garbage removed. Organizers Fraser Riverkeeper and Woodtone are looking forward to building on that success this year with another great day of fun cleaning up the beautiful riverside. “My biggest hope for this year’s cleanup is to create awareness and educate people about this problem that is facing all of us,” said Kevin Raffle of Woodtone, a Chilliwack-based company who have been helping to organize river cleanups for seven years. “The problem of illegal dumping and burning isn’t just a Chilliwack one. It’s a problem happening in numerous locations all along the Fraser River watershed. The more people that know about what is happening in their own backyard and the more eyes we have on these places the less the offenders will feel inclined to continue to illegally dump.” The Gill Bar cleanup is a family-friendly event and will go ahead rain or shine on March 28 at 10 a.m. The Vancouver Aquarium will be on site to provide educational entertainment for the kids, while Starbucks and the Chilliwack Water Store will be on hand to provide coffee and refreshments. Finally, the cleanup will end with a free barbecue for

Please plan your route accordingly and choose the Yale Road overpass or the Broadway Road crossings of CN Rail as alternatives on this day. Thank you for your patience as CN Rail completes their crossing repairs.

Paul J. Henderson/TIMES - file

Last year’s Gill Bar cleanup amassed 9,300 kilograms of garbage from the popular recreation area along the banks of the Fraser River. volunteers provided by the folks at Restaurant 62 and the Chilliwack IGA at 1 p.m. Dumpsters and garbage removal equipment will be provided courtesy of Rotz Disposal, Progressive Waste Solutions, and the Chilliwack-Vedder River Clean-Up Society. Free disposal of the waste collected will be provided by the City of Chilliwack. Volunteers are being asked to wear gumboots and to bring a refillable mug or water bottle and a pair of gloves, if possible. In addition to this year’s annual cleanup, Fraser Riverkeeper and Woodtone have been working with the Conservation Officer’s Service, the City of Chilliwack, the Fraser Valley Regional District, and other local partners including the Chilliwack

Vedder River Clean-Up Society, the Fraser Valley Salmon Society, and Great River Fishing Adventures, to form the Fraser Valley Illegal Dumping Alliance (FVIDA). “The newly formed FVIDA consists of great people from all walks of life and different organizations that have come together to put in a collective effort to stop what is happening, and to say this type of behaviour will not be tolerated,” Raffle says. “Working as a team, the Alliance will create awareness and educate everyone, as well as come up with concrete solutions so we can take back these pristine areas that sit right on our doorstep.” ◗ For more information, volunteers can check out www.fraserriverkeeper.ca/cleanupgill.

› News { FUGITIVE, from page A1 } After his conviction, Crown counsel sought to have Paul designated a dangerous offender, which carries with it an indefinite jail sentence. The court heard that Paul’s behaviour established a pattern of violence that put the public at risk. However, while Paul met the definition of being a dangerous offender, Justice William Grist found that Paul also could be classified as a long-term offender. That designation requires long-term supervision after jail rather than an indefinite prison sentence. While a clinical psychologist wrote that Paul scored “high” on the psychopathy index, and three psychologists found he presented a high or moderate-to-high risk of reoffending, one noted that the risk was lessened if he participated in

Required long-term supervision, rather than indefinite prison time treatment programs. Grist stated that there was a “reasonable prospect” that his risk to the public could be managed and designated Paul a long-term offender. Paul was sentenced to four years in jail (including two years time served), to be followed by five years of community supervision. But in 2011, Paul was charged with breaching the conditions of his supervision four times—twice by consuming alcohol and twice by failing to reside as directed. He was sentenced to 18 months in jail for that breach, and was back on the streets in 2013. Police now believe Paul may

have crossed the border into the U.S. and continues to evade authorities. Contrary to a media report briefly online last week, Paul was not the individual shot dead by a U.S. border guard on March 20. Paul is described as aboriginal, five feet, eight inches tall, with a medium build, brown eyes and short black hair. On his left arm, he has tattoos of an eagle, a rat, a knife, a skull and a buffalo. On his right arm, he has tattoos of a skull with a rose and a heart. ◗ Anyone with information about Paul’s whereabouts is asked to call 9-1-1 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477. - with files from Tyler Olsen

Wage imbalance revealed in study

◗ Publisher

study by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business that was released on Monday indicated that public sector wages are 10 to 15 per cent higher than comparable jobs in the private sector. Wages for professions such as police officers and firefighters were not taken into account, as there is no comparable private sector positions. However, positions which are part of both public and private sectors were compared for the CFIB’s “Wage Watch” report, the sixth in the past 30 years. CFIB vice-president Ted Mallett outlined the differences between the two sectors. “In the private sector, (compensation is) market tested,” he said. “If wages go up too much, businesses struggle, they end up closing doors or cutting back. If wages are too low, then the business doesn’t attract the right kind of labour and it suffers as well.” Wage increases were non-existent for most employees in 2009 and 2010. Meanwhile, wage increases for government employees continued ticking along. While there has been a slight reduction in annual increases from the four per cent range to around two per cent, most public sector employees are likely making about 15 per cent more than they were in 2008.

Do you believe in thermometers?

or years now, a doubt has been creeping up on politicians. They don’t know who they can trust anymore and cannot for the life of them come to their own conclusions. You see, thermometers across the world have been measuring warmer temperatures and some people cannot fathom such a thing. “But it’s snowing outside, we are in a polar vortex!” says Joe, and Lisa sees the local news proclaiming “Record lows!” so of course she doesn’t think the world is warming. It’s so cold! What Joe and Lisa don’t know is that weather is different from climate. While weather can vary enormously on time scales from minutes to months, the overall trends in this weather is called climate: a.k.a. “the statistics of weather.” Climate change is real, and it can also lead to more extreme weather events like hurricanes, droughts and floods. And yes, there will still be a “polar vortex” every once in a while, but the likelihood of these events is decreasing and average temperatures will increase, even if there are still a few cold winters here and there. What is interesting is the representation of climate change in the media. While journalists usually strive to show

SARAH MALESKA Be Our Guest both sides of a story, this is not something that is possible when reporting climate and atmospheric sciences. Science does not have multiple sides to a story because it is not a story, it is fact. It’s like arguing gravity doesn’t exist. Physics is not argued therefore climate sciences shouldn’t be. However, politicians with ulterior motives and scientists getting paid off still create headlining stories once in a while, denying climate change. And who is benefiting from this denial? The ones with the most to lose if politicians start acting on climate change—oil and gas companies. In a famous 2003 memo, Frank Luntz advised Republican politicians to “cultivate uncertainty” about climate change by questioning the actual science behind it. He even notes “should the public come to believe the scientific issues are settled, their views about global warming will change accordingly.” In Canada, we are not immune to the

effects of climate change. We will experience more droughts, floods and hot temperatures. The government has its head buried in the oil sands (pun intended) and we have not done enough to cut fossil fuel usage and emissions. For the past 20 years the federal government has lagged behind most provincial and municipal governments in terms of actual emission reductions. Adding insult to injury, since the Conservatives changed the communications policy in 2007, 90 per cent of federal scientists do not feel like they can speak freely about their research to the media. The Harper government is taking Canadians for fools, and now with Bill C-51 the language is so loose on what defines a terrorist act that environmental protesting could be illegal! Additionally, as if the Arctic being icefree is a good thing, the government has been looking into shipping routes and potential resource development in the North. And all this is being facilitated by the fact that most of the Canadian public is still uncertain if climate change is happening and if climate science is an actual science or a “junk science.” In fact, in March 2007, an Angus Reid poll found 12 per cent of Canadians and 21 per cent of Albertans believed global

warming estimates were based off of this “junk science.” While it would be fantastic if every important discovery about climate change could be relayed to the general public it will never happen. The media needs stories that are current, exciting and grab the reader’s attention. More recently (thankfully) in Canadian media, there is a general consensus that climate change is happening, however this leads to stories like the polar vortex being front page news. Although there are many questions about what the future will bring, there is no doubt it will be warmer. Just how much warmer depends on the decisions we make today. Unfortunately our government is not heading in a positive direction with regards to climate change and is instead focusing the majority of its energy on the economy. How much will have to happen in order for the government to start caring? If history is a predictor of the future, we might have to wait until it affects their wallets; though at that point, it might be too late. ◗ Sarah is a student at the University of Victoria and will be graduating in April 2016 with a B.Sc. in Earth and Ocean Sciences and Physical Geography with a minor in Geomatics.

City gambling with taxpayer money Editor: The city budget was blown the first week. Chilliwack taxpayers will have to pay an additional $220,000 for property at Five Corners that the city expropriated two years ago, as ordered by the court. This mayor and council are now gambling millions of taxpayers’ dollars on real-estate downtown, thinking they know better than most developers and so far we paid over $1,000,000 for a nice little park with a bench and a large parking lot, with another $4,000,000 budgeted to be used for more acquisitions this year. They are quite the gamblers with our money. If they think it’s such a great deal, why not use their own money to finance it and stay out of taxpayer’s pocket.

All mayors want to leave a legacy, hopefully with their name on it. This mayor will be known for the grandiose parking lot downtown. The few remaining businesses would like to thank you for that. I will start the petition to ensure that the big empty space has her name on it (in memory of lost taxpayer money). Louis Raboin Chilliwack

Editor: I am writing in response to the letter by James Wiens (Times, March 12) regarding Sam Waddington’s idea to move city hall downtown. Mr. Wiens (along with a number of other letters) shows support for the idea of city hall’s relocation, but on what grounds? The idea brought up is that moving city hall to the downtown core would increase the amount of people traveling downtown; therefore more shoppers and restaurant goers to raise the standard of living. What Mr. Wiens is overlooking, though, is that the majority of Chilliwack citizens already have areas of interest in whichever area they live. Moving city hall would not drop hundreds of people on those streets; many people would come to do their business then return to their own neighbourhood. Another issue I have with this letter is that non-downtowners should be content with losing city hall. While citizens who do not live downtown may not have the same level of awareness of the area, the location of city hall is central to all the districts of Chilliwack. A relocation would affect much more than the downtown core. Mr. Wiens offers no backing for his statement that taxpayers are “pouring money down a bottomless pit,” which leaves one to assume paying for a relocation of city hall would also be a bottomless pit for taxpayers.

AN URGENT REMINDER WHY WE SHOULD KEEP AND LOVE THE LORD’S DAY

› Faith Today

Matching identity with design BY REG TOEWS Greendale MB Church

dentity is the way that we view ourselves and others see us. Identity comes from within but is shaped from both our personality and our circumstances or an outward shaping. Our home environment shapes our identity as much as our genetic make up. The society in which we are raised and live also helps to shape who we are and how we view ourselves. As human beings we are keenly aware of our identity. We have choices, which allow us to adapt and shape our own identity. Who people are is important both to them and to those around them. As a Jesus follower it is important to understand who Jesus is. Jesus’s identity was that he loved humankind and came to show that love through his life, his death, and his resurrection.

This Sunday the Christian community celebrates Palm Sunday. It is a time of remembering when Jesus entered into Jerusalem clearly declaring that he was a king—his identity was being revealed. Earlier on in his life people had come to him asking him if he was the king that they were looking for. At the time he didn’t reveal it because the timing wasn’t right and their reasons were suspect. It is most important to recognize the way that he entered because it is significantly different than most kings would declare their royal aspirations. Most kings would ride into the city on a fine horse. His minions would lead the horse rather than having him in control. People would line the route and signal their approval through shouting and declarations of servitude. We are informed that Jesus certainly rode into Jerusalem but his mount was a donkey

The manner in which Jesus put forth his indentity informs us of who he was and what his purpose was here on Earth.

not exactly a fitting ride for one coming forward with his royal identity. The manner in which Jesus put forward his identity informs us of who he was and what his purpose was here on Earth. The gospel of Matthew states that his entry into Jerusalem was a fulfillment of a prophecy given hundreds of years before which stated, “See, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.” Jesus’s identity as a king showed his leadership in a conspicuously altered manner from what we might expect. He

lived a gentle life. It certainly wasn’t without its controversy or conflict but he was clear that he wasn’t about to take over the religious or political sphere through violence. He was going to influence the world through spiritual transformation. When, at his trial, Pilate asked him if he was the king of the Jews, his response was an affirmation. However, he clarified that his kingdom was not earthly in nature. (John 18:36) The problem in his time and ours is that it is the inner man, which needs to be changed. We can make all manner of adjustments to the outer circumstances, and so we should; yet the true identity, which God wants us to adopt, comes from Jesus and our relationship with Him. It is when our identity matches with God’s design for us that we are fully at peace and have joy to live each day. ◗ Reg Toews is lead pastor of Greendale MB Church.

The Lord’s Day is the property of Christ. He has marked one out of seven days exclusively as his own. On this day we must rest from our work. One reason we set aside a day for rest is to refresh ourselves from our daily labours. More importantly, however, we should spend this day in public and private exercises of God’s worship to refresh ourseves spiritually. We may not rob the hours of the Lord’s Day for business or pleasure. Keep HIS day holy as an institution of the Lord, and in doing so we will receive blessings beyond our expectations. “This is the day which the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24

More than just a number Their struggles . . . their stories

‘‘

I’VE BEEN A DRUG ADDICT PRETTY MUCH SINCE I WAS 20

Erik Christiansen by the numbers is part of the 18 per cent of homeless who attribute addiction as the cause of their situation. “Mine’s addiction, crystal meth,” he said. “My ex was an alcoholic. To fit with her I drank a lot, and when I drank... “I’ve been a drug addict pretty much since I was 20.” Christiansen went to culinary school and as soon as he hit restaurant work he found cocaine. “That doesn’t make us bad, that doesn’t make us thieves or criminals just because we have an addiction,” he said. “Sometimes the only way to survive out here is to drown it a little bit.” * FVRD 2014 SURVEY He’s been clean for seven- and five-year periods in the past, but both times he’s fallen back into the habit because of separation from his children. The 42-year-old said he uses drugs to deal with the depression and anxiety he feels, not just because of missing his kids, but also the discrimination he feels. “It helps you deal with the negative looks and the whispering,” Christiansen said. “It’s hard, and I don’t want to see it or hear it so I just medicate.”

I TRY TO CARE FOR MY DAUGHTER MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE Served with an eviction notice early in December, Ed Finney thought he would have to spend Christmas with his wife and daughter in a shelter. The family has since received their income assistance and barely managed to stay in their apartment, but they were close to joining the seven per cent of Chilliwack’s homeless population who say they were evicted. “We don’t want to be on the system,” said Finney. “We’d rather be working full-time somewhere but it’s hard out there.” He had been looking for almost a year when he finally got some part-time work at a gas station, and his wife is helping make ends meet with a housekeeping job. Finney has experience working in many capacities at a variety of jobs, but said * FVRD 2014 SURVEY the lack of a vehicle is a major obstacle to finding work. He and his family came back to Chilliwack after a job in Valemount didn’t pan out. Finney does not want to become part of the 27 per cent of homeless who have inadequate income for rent. “We’ve got a daughter, we’re not going to put her on the street,” he said. “I try to care for my daughter more than anything else.”

Survey goes beyond the stats to create social change

We all like to see numbers in reports. Statistics, percentages and counts— we can’t get enough. They are within reach, easily accessible, and easily retweetable. Decisions can be made and conveniently justified based on the “cold, hard facts.” But when it comes to some studies numbers can oversimplify results, especially if the topic of research is something as complex as a person or population. A new report through the Chilliwack Social Research and Planning Council (CSRPC) that examines barriers to obtaining housing in Chilliwack is due to be release soon, and it takes a very different approach to examining a very complex group: those without homes. “There have been other reports put out about homelessness but they’re often really statistics-based,” said Katherine Gibson the primary groundwork researcher for the new (as of yet nameless) study. “We know that x amount

of people are homeless or we know x amount of people use these services.” Gibson acknowledges the usefulness of having the numbers, but she said more is needed to create social change. “I got to go beyond the statistics and look at the faces of people and hear their stories and really give them a chance to make themselves more than a number,” she said. “Everyone in the world deserves that.” Especially a demographic that is often very marginalized said Gibson. A key difference in the methodology of this study from previous examples is the use of a “participatory action research model” which means a key team member was from the population being studied. In this case, James Robson, who has struggled with homelessness in the past, acted as a community participant researcher. He was involved in many stages including interviewing, coding

and writing for the report. “I’ve never been homeless and I’ve never had to struggle with any of those issues,” Gibson said. “So walking into a community where I’m an outsider and where trust is a huge issue, having someone from that community walking in with me and being able to say, ‘I understand where you’re coming from, I get it’ was a huge help.” That access gave Gibson legitimacy, but it also informed the process of the report with Robson’s insight. He had the necessary experience to ask questions Gibson admitted she couldn’t have generated, and an ability to connect with people who have shared the same struggles. In this way, the report evolved as it moved along its timeline, shaped by Robson and the participants themselves. “That’s important because it makes the report more authentic and it gives you an idea of what people are actually

“My hope is that [the report] will be used to amplify the voices of people in our community that maybe aren’t heard often. And more than just amplifying them I hope that it would lead to active change.” - Katherine Gibson thinking in the community,” Gibson said. Because the group didn’t impose expected outcomes or narrow categorization on the process, a more organic data set resulted.

Over 500 replacement cars.

The report looks at demographic questions, current housing situations, street life, services and their providers, and types of help the study’s subjects would like to see in the future. To get around the challenge of making all of this data accessible and useful, the research team sifted through reams of transcripts, coding (organizing by theme) each sentence. From those codes trends emerge, which become the useful tidbits that can propel decisions and ultimately action. For readers who can’t escape the need for numbers those trends can be counted and quantified, but will be attached to direct quotes from the voices behind the figures. “My hope is that [the report] will be used to amplify the voices of people in our community that maybe aren’t heard often,” Gibson said. “And more than just amplifying them I hope that it would lead to active change.”

I DON’T GAMBLE TO WIN, I GAMBLE TO LOSE

Billy Mays agrees with the 14 per cent of homeless people surveyed who say they are not housed because rent is too high. “We get $375 to pay rent which is ridiculous,” Mays said. “There is nothing out there for $375.” The artist got a room at Chilliwack Health and Housing Centre this year where his cheque is sure to go directly to covering his room, avoiding it’s usual short life. “I’m a gambler so cheque day comes, I take my cheque, I go and make my deposit on the casino for that month,” Mays said. “And the money’s gone the next day. I don’t have coffee money.” It’s a vicious cycle, but one that’s difficult to escape with Mays being bi-polar. “It’s hard to get settled anywhere,” he said. “You just want to keep moving on * FVRD 2014 SURVEY and running away from yourself.” Mays is hoping being removed from survival mode will get his carving, sculpting and painting back to the state where he’s producing again. It’s been a long time on the streets, and he’s getting tired. The five years he’s been homeless since his divorce have been full of what Mays calls “self-sabotage.” “I don’t gamble to win, I gamble to lose.”

YOU’RE PACKING YOUR WHOLE HOUSEHOLD IN ONE BAG When he was young, Victor Joe never really had a mother or father figure. And even now, he is in the 14 per cent who are on the streets because of family breakdown. Rejected by them, he manages his back injury alone with the help of medication and alcohol. “Right now I’m not getting the proper medication for my back, so I’m looking for substitutes on the streets,” Joe said. “You’ve got to figure the substitutes are not good things.” But he needs something to help with his bad vertebrae. “I go crazy when the pain gets too much,” said the 49-year-old. Sober for the 20 years prior, Joe fell off the wagon when he signed the papers for disability and realized he was no longer able to work. Though he’s still drinking he managed to quit for a month and a half late last * FVRD 2014 SURVEY year, but it’s not easy to stay sober. “Your payday comes and you run into the wrong person—instigators, you know?” Joe said rent prices are too high and landlords discriminate against him for being homeless and aboriginal. “I try to keep myself tidy, but you’re packing your whole household in one bag right?”

Women more vulnerable, youth more easily exploited Nutrition and health important considerations

hough not represented on these pages visually, women and youth are a rapidly growing proportion of the homeless. Their stories are equally important, but as a more vulnerable group there are sensitivities around printing pictures and telling details about their situations. “We had one of our clients speak up and tell their story at a United Way function this year,” said Patti MacAhonic, executive director of the Ann Davis Transition Society. “And this is going back eight years from when she left and when we helped her out, and it was still very difficult.” Those on the street are vulnerable

to many different threats, but women in particular are at risk to a wider variety of dangers including sexual assault. “Society responds very differently to men and women,” MacAhonic said. “It can be the same situation, but women are judged more harshly.” Understandably, that makes women who pass through the Transition Society and similar places reluctant to share their ordeals. MacAhonic says the women who use their services are dealing with a range of different problems like leaving a violent situation, or mental health issues. And if there’s a group even more vulnerable than women, it’s children. “Youth don’t have the life experience or the skills developed over time to make informed choices for themselves,” said Les Talvio, executive director of Chilliwack’s Cyrus

“Even youth living on their own in a safe environment need a lot of support and equipping to be successful. To be on their own out on the streets is just a recipe for disaster.” - Les Tavio Centre. “They’re easily exploited and taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives.” Nutrition and health are also important considerations according to Talvio, as kids are still developing mentally and physically. “Even youth living on their own

in a safe environment need a lot of support and equipping to be successful,” he said. “To be on their own out on the streets is just a recipe for disaster.” Talvio would know. The Chilliwack centre has accommodated over 60 different youth since it opened its doors six months ago. With only four beds each, it’s not uncommon for both the local and Abbotsford locations to have to turn away those in need. Their stories already run the gamut at a young age: escaping abusive situations, parents with drug and alcohol problems, poverty, mental health issues, and parents who are depressed or barely able to look after themselves. “I had a girl tell me once it’s not that her mom didn’t love her or care about her,” Talvio said. “She just didn’t know how to.” “Pretty powerful words.”

Round robin madness begins Chiefs Report heading to the “Peach City” which leaves at 2:30 p.m., not withstanding overtime, gets you back in the ‘Wack by about 2 a.m. The cost is just $50 and you can reserve your seat on the iron lung by calling Andrea at 604392-4433. Depending on what transpires, Chilliwack’s other home game in the round robin would be on Saturday, April 4 versus Nanaimo. Chilliwack’s head-to-head meetings with the Clips and Vees have been very competitive not counting the 10-2 November loss in Nanaimo. The Chiefs lost 2-1 to the Clippers at Prospera Centre on Jan. 2, while skating to a thrilling 1-1 tie with the Vees in Penticton on Dec. 14, then

dropping an exciting 3-2 overtime loss to Penticton at Prospera Centre on Feb. 6. To date in the post season both Nanaimo and Penticton have played seven and five more games respectively, thanks to the Chiefs taking out Coquitlam in five games and sweeping Prince George in four. Nanaimo has gone the distance in both of their series, surrendering a 3-1 series lead to Alberni Valley before winning in game 7 and outlasting Powell River in another seven-game affair. Penticton needed to get through three overtime games with West Kelowna before dispatching the Warriors in five games, and then snuck by Vernon in an epic seven-game showdown. Nanaimo and Penticton pose a couple of different styles of play for the Chiefs to ponder. The Clippers

he BCHL’s version of “March Madness” has arrived and the Chiefs are one of just three teams still alive for the title of Fred Page Cup champion. Chilliwack, Penticton and Nanaimo are in the midst of the BCHL semifinal double round robin. For those of you who don’t play slo-pitch and aren’t used to round robins, basically, each team plays each other twice, once home, once away. One of the three teams will be eliminated leaving the other two to vie for league supremacy in a best-of-seven finals match-up. The Chiefs first game of the round robin will be this Friday in the Hub City versus the Clippers. Chilliwack’s first and possibly only home game of the round robin will be this Sunday, at Prospera Centre, at 7 p.m. versus the Mighty Vees.

Sweet Deal for March

› Cover Story { HARVEY, from page A1 } He’s used to defending the friendly, competitive banter from his family, but he has also been matched up physically against his younger brother Emerson in practices. The two of them played on the same team last year, and with 17-yearold Emerson switching from defence to offence on occasion they had the opportunity to play on the same line in league games. “As a parent there’s nothing cooler than watching your two boys side-by-side,” their father Bryan says. “There were a few times they were on the field together at centre and guard and you’re sitting there going, ‘Wow, those are my boys.’” Emerson has played almost everywhere on the field as he aged through the ranks, but when he got bigger like Jaxson and his father, the defensive line was where he chose to be. Not to let the boys of the family have all the fun, their sister Aydan joined the male-majority sport when she was nine. “When I started out, my growth spurt started and I was bigger than the guys,” Aydan says. On a team trip to Nebraska she had an

And of course, with all of that you can get touchdowns. Two years younger than Hudson—and unconcerned with TDs—is his sister Lachlyn who started singing the national anthem at home games last season. A long-time general helper and concession hand, the youngest sister playfully exaggerates her sighs when the family goes on too long. The problem: football season runs through her birthday. Even Lachlyn’s rolling eyes are a part of the inside jokes for this football-infused family. “Usually Saturday night, the drive home from the football field is laughing at everybody’s stupid plays and relishing in everybody’s good plays,” Bryan says. “I would say football between September and November, that’s all we talk about.”

Giant family, clockwise from football: Jaxon, Emerson, Aydan, Hudson, Lachlyn, Jameson, Jenny, and (centre) Bryan. opportunity to play running back, scored a touchdown and earned the position for the remainder of the season. But she returned to linebacker the following year where she felt more at home. As the only girl on the team it could get a bit awkward, but it wasn’t until she hurt her knee badly enough to require surgery that she missed a season. “As I began to develop the guys did too,” she says. “So they got bigger, they got more muscle.” Despite the cachet she’s earned with her brothers who admit she dominated in her years on the field, Aydan has set her sights on

basketball once her injury heals. On the other hand, her younger brother Hudson gets visibly excited talking about playing in the next Giants season, lingering on the subject of scoring. “It’s pretty fun,” the 14-year-old says. “I’ve made lots of friends, had lots of fun, scored a lot of touchdowns.” He’s tried quarterback, but seems to have settled on linebacker and tight end as his preferred stations. “Linebacker is the defence’s side of glory,” Hudson says. “You get picks, you get tackles you get fumbles, you get all the defensive stuff.”

As many Chilliwack families have found, the dementia journey requires ongoing adjustment to many changes that occur throughout the early, middle and late stages of the disease. Grief is the natural and necessary process to all of these changes that involve loss.

members of the Peters Band in Hope. Brad Webb was son of the band’s Chief Norma Webb. Both Morgan and Devan were also related to the chief. Vicky Peters of the Peters Band said all the boys were her nephews and that since they all knew many people locally from hockey and schools, everyone is welcome to attend the service on Saturday, March 28 at 2 p.m. at First Avenue Christian Assembly, 46510 First Ave. On March 17, the Chilliwack Minor Hockey Association hosted a skate at Prospera Centre in honour of the three young men.

To help the increasing number of families living with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia, the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. has created a new workshop, Grieving Losses During the Dementia Journey. Coming to the city on Wednesday, April 8, the workshop provides an opportunity to explore the loss and grief issues of the dementia caregiving experience. ◗ The workshop runs from 4 to 6 p.m. at Evergreen Hall’s Slesse Room, 9291 Corbould St. Pre-registration is required, by contacting Jude Weir, the Society’s Support & Education Co-ordinator for Chilliwack/Hope, at 604-702-4603 or jweir@alzheimerbc.org.

› Chiefs Extra { CHIEFS, from page A14 } lead the post season in penalty minutes with 167, and will push the envelope when it comes to physical play. The Vees, like Chilliwack, play a more puck possession and disciplined game. The Clippers boast a lot of speed and skill and are led by San Jose Sharks draft pick Jacob Jackson

Chiefs boast four of the top five playoff scorers who has sniped eight goals, including three game winners in 14 games. On the blueline, 6’4, 210 lb Nicholas Gushue is a real presence and has tallied five goals and five assists. In between the pipes, 6’3”, 202-lb Guillame Decelles has been outstanding

with his 2.11 goals against average and .937 save percentage. Led up front by Demico Hannoun’s three goals and 10 helpers, the Vees are a very deep team. Having the steady Hunter Miska’s .935 save percentage and 2.01 goals against aver-

age is also anything but a hindrance. As for your Chiefs, they boast four of the five top BCHL scorers heading into round robin play, Jake Hand (6g-10a), Tipper Higgins (11g-4a), Craig Puffer (7g-8a) and Jordan Kawaguchi (5g-10a), and have been hotter than

a July day in Vegas. Meanwhile puck stopper David Jacobson has been cool as a cucumber with an 8-0 record, .928 save percentage and 2.36 goals against average. It is crunch time for the Chiefs, I hope you join us at Prospera Centre to help us make some unforgettable memories for 22 players who have represented Chilliwack with their hearts and souls.

The talented Tara Travis returns to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre in another brilliant one-woman show on April 11 & 12 with Who Killed Gertrude Crump? With 12 puppets and a multitude of accents, she brings classic mystery tropes to life in a whole new light—and it’s a rollicking ride of dropped clues, red herrings and classic Agatha Christie references you won’t want to miss. In this hilarious and fast-paced murder mystery, almost anyone could be the killer—and the audience will be kept guessing until the very end. “I play the ghost of Agatha Christie coming back from the dead to tell a story that she never published in life,” Travis explains. “And the idea is that Agatha is bored in the afterlife, so she’s decided to present the mystery with puppets—because why not?” It’s a quirky take on a classic trope—and it’s guaranteed you’ve never seen a murder mystery quite like this one. Twelve guests gather at a remote English country manor to ring in New Year’s Eve, expecting a party full of laughter and companionship. Instead, things run into a bit of a damper when it’s discovered that one of their fellow party-goers—award-winning and world-famous mystery author Gertrude Crump—has been shot and killed. From a crusty old man and his much-younger trophy wife, to the financially troubled host and hostess, none of the guests are above suspicion. And as it soon becomes clear, perhaps the only person who can solve the murder mystery

Bringing audiences Bach to life

Our own Josef Lindl will be performing this intimate, expressive piece on April 11.” Chilliwack has watched Hanson grow from a young boy soprano into an actor, and now a talented and popular countertenor. Hear him sing the robust Agnus Dei from Bach’s Mass in B minor. Chilliwack can be proud of their very impressive musicians and guitar artist Bowman is most certainly one of them. Bowman will play in the lobby and will also be featured on the concert stage playing the vir-

tuosic “Sarabande” from Suite No. 1, originally written by Bach for the cello, and known to be an exquisite piece of music. The evening’s icing on the cake will be a dazzling performance of the Bach Double Violin Concerto in D minor featuring violinists Angela Cavadas and Heilwig von Koenigsloew. Bach is reputed to have set the standard for violin solos and string ensembles, a fact that is well demonstrated in this concerto. The CSO chorus has been hard at work in rehearsal for the performance of inspirational choral masterpieces composed by Bach. The choir is set to sing several selections from his Mass in B minor and the opening piece of Cantata No. 70. “Once again, we are happy to have our young ‘side-by-side’ instrumentalists join the orchestra in performance of the Bach Little Fugue in G,” DeWit said. “It is truly a privilege to bring so many performers together for one performance.” The CSO&C continue the special family price for this concert and the remainder of the season. ◗ “We’ve Got Your Bach” happens on April 11 at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. Performance is 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available in person at the Chilliwack Cultural centre box office, by phone at 604-391-SHOW or online at www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca. General admission is $25, student $15, and family $60.

t’s big, it’s bold and it’s Bach thanks to the Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra & Chorus. On April 11, the CSO present “We’ve Got Your Bach” at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre with a guest artist line-up that includes the now famous Chilliwack pianist Clinton Denoni, local countertenor Shane Hanson, superb classical guitarist Jeff Bowman, also of Chilliwack, and, of course, the entire Chilliwack Symphony Chorus. And there will be brass! To add to the exploration of composer J. S. Bach’s impressive instrumental output, the Vancouver Community College Mount Pleasant Brass Ensemble has also been invited to perform. “We are thrilled to have this performance group as our special guests,” music director Paula DeWit said. Pianist Denoni grew up in the eastern Fraser Valley and, no stranger to the Chilliwack concert scene, performed previously with the CSO as a winner of the John van Liempt Memorial Young Artist Competition in 2007. This time around, after having graduated with a Master of Music Degree in Piano Performance and already known as one of Canada’s top pianists, Denoni will be featured playing Bach’s Toccata in D major. “We will be presenting an outstanding variety taken from a wide spectrum of his works to you,” DeWit said. “I encourage you to Google cellist Yo-Yo Ma, performing the Prelude from the Bach Cello Suite No. 1.

Bluesman a master storyteller

master storyteller of blissful woe, bluesman Guy Davis will share his good time acoustic blues at the intimate Harrison Memorial Hall Friday, April 10 at 8 p.m. Whether Davis is appearing on Late Night With Conan O’Brien, or in front of 15,000 people on the main stage of a major festival, or mentoring an intimate gathering of students at a music camp, he feels the instinctive desire to give each listener his “all”—and his “all” is the blues. “I first heard Guy Davis at the Philadelphia Folk Festival in 1998,” recalls Harrison Festival Society Artistic Director, Andy Hillhouse. “I was very impressed with how this one guy held the attention of an audience of thousands, with a very intimate, personal and narrative approach to singing the blues.” Davis is a musician, composer, actor, director, and writer; but most importantly, Davis is a bluesman. The blues permeates every corner of Davis’ creativity. Throughout his career, he has dedicated himself to reviving the traditions of acoustic blues and bringing them to as many ears as possible through the material of the great blues masters and his

Guy Davis own original songs, stories and performance pieces. “Guy Davis is a classic blues troubadour, and takes the audience on an emotional and historical journey through the blues in every show he does,” Hillhouse says. Davis’ roots as an artist run deep. Though raised in the New York City area, he grew up hearing accounts of life in the rural south from his parents and especially his grandparents, and they made their way into his own stories and songs. Davis taught himself the guitar (never having the patience to take formal lessons) and learned by listening to and watching other musicians: for example, he

learned finger picking from a ninefingered guitar player on an overnight train ride to New York. Juggling his loves for both acting and blues music from a young age, Davis made a name for himself in both television and film before finally marrying his passions in the theatre. After roles in Broadway’s Mulebole and the off-Broadway hit Robert Johnson: Trick the Devil (in which he played blues legend Robert Johnson) he put pen to paper and wrote the acclaimed one-man-musical In Bed With The Blues: The Adventures of Fishy Waters, a jumping off point for his career as a writer-director-performer triple threat. In recent years Davis has been telling most of his stories through song, whether it’s writing, arranging and performing the soundtrack for Emmy Award-winning film To Be A Man, collecting rave reviews for his long list of releases, or delivering intimate performances at festivals and concert halls across North America. ◗ Tickets for Guy Davis are $22 and can be purchased online at www. harrisonfestival.com, by phone at 604-796-3664 or in person at the Ranger Station Art Gallery in Harrison and Agassiz Shoppers Drug Mart.

ho Killed Gertrude Crump? is a hilarious and rollicking journey through murder mystery tropes and Agatha Christie references – and the audience is invited to pick up the clues and piece together the answer to the puzzle themselves.

“It’s a lot of fun,” says Tara Travis, Fringe circuit phenomenon and onewoman show wonder. “Come with your detective hat on!” She says this show sprang into life thanks to one thing: too much time in the car spent listening to murder mysteries with fellow actor and

playwright Ryan Gladstone.

Now their shared love of red herrings and Agatha Christie has come together in this amazing romp through character archetypes and classic mystery clichés, culminating in a single overarching question: Who Killed Gertrude Crump?

“A rollicking ride of dropped clues, red herrings, and classic Agatha Christie references you won’t want to miss!” In this wild ride of a whodunit Tara Travis plays twelve characters, all confounded by that precise question. When a smorgasbord of guests arrive in a remote English manor to celebrate the New Year, the sudden and strange death of world-famous mystery author Gertrude Crump was not supposed to be part of it. But when the party guests begin looking for the murderer in their midst, all sorts of convincing motives come to light – and any one of them could easily be the guilty killer. The result is a tangle of motives, secrets, and falsehoods with only one answer – a mystery that perhaps only Gertrude Crump herself can solve! Travis takes the role of orchestrator and host as the dearly departed Agatha Christie, speaking from beyond the grave to impart the audience with one last whodunit.

“We framed it so that I play the ghost of Agatha Christie coming back from the dead to tell a story that she never published in life,” Travis explains. “This whole show is huge homage to Agatha Christie.”

The rest of the characters – from an old and codgery Colonel to a serious schoolmarm to a bumbling Frenchman -- are brought to life in a giant dollhouse with a multitude of puppets, also played by Travis! “Agatha’s bored of the afterlife, so she’s decided to tell the story with puppets – because why not?” Travis says with a laugh.

You’ll be astounded at the rapid-fire pace with which she switches from character to character, bringing puppets to life with skill and pure glee. Her spot-on accents and subtle puppet body language will have you roaring with laughter, even as you try to differentiate between important clues and flashy red herrings. “There are lots of little winks and nudges along the way to say, ‘Oh! That was a clue!’” Travis says with a grin. “Looks are exchanged, little clues are dropped, and more than a few audience members put it together before the end. It’s just a hoot!” Who Killed Gertrude Crump? comes to the Rotary Hall Studio Theatre at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on Saturday, April 11 and Sunday, April 12 at 7:30 p.m. All seats are $25. Who Killed Gertrude Crump? is generously sponsored by Prime Signs, British Columbia Arts Council, the Chilliwack Times, the Province of British Columbia, the City of Chilliwack, and the department of Canadian Heritage.
