911 GONE
heritage house she rents at about 2:30 a.m. The glass screen door on her front porch was ajar, muddy footprints covered the wood. She was nervous, but the front door was locked. So she went in the house, noticed one of her cats look at her through an open door to the living room that should have been closed. She ran to let her pit bull puppy out of her kennel, checked the back door and saw it had been kicked open. Then she called 911. “The operator asked if he was still there,” Wilson said. “I said ‘I have no idea, I haven’t explored the house.’ He said ‘Chances are he’s still long gone.’” Then the operator told her to yell out: “Is there anyone in the house, I’m on the phone with the police.” “I said, ‘Are you kidding me?’ He cut me off and said ‘Just do it.’” That’s when Wilson says she was informed the police were not coming. After she followed the dispatcher’s directions to call out and no one responded he said, “See, they are long gone. We’ll be there in the morning.” { See 911, page A6 }

hat happens when a 911 operator makes a mistake and tells a caller facing a potentially dangerous situation to do something even more dangerous? That’s what Jocelyn Wilson faced when a drunk man broke into her house in the middle of the night, went upstairs into her bedroom, and urinated in her bed before (or after) he passed out. Four months after the bizarre incident in her Sardis home and Wilson is still mortified by the experience, plagued with a case of the “what-ifs.” “It makes me sick to think, what if that was my kids that called? What if that was an elderly woman that called? I was lucky it was just some dumb kid,” she tells the Times. “What if it was someone else that actually was hiding and had malicious intent to rape me?” Police, meanwhile, concede something indeed went wrong that night with the emergency dispatching and

he federal election may be seven months off but fundraising, doorknocking and rhetoric is well underway in Chilliwack. The electoral district known as Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon has been a bastion of Conservativism for decades, and while the newly configured riding of Chilliwack-Hope is expected by experts to only help the governing party, Liberal candidate Louis De Jaeger thinks MP Mark Strahl is nervous. “People are disappointed with Mark in general,” De Jaeger said in response to questions about a Conser vative riding association fundraising Liberal candidate letter the Times obtained. Louis De Jaeger The letter, dated March 18, focused on a recent Liberal fundraising dinner in Chilliwack that raised $15,000 and featured Vancouver Liberal MP Hedy Fry. “True to form Hedy had something offensive to say about Chilliwack-Hope,” the letter signed by Strahl reads. “She said that the Liberals should have a better chance of winning here in the next election because, ‘we know the demographics { See POLITICS, page A4 }

A protest at city hall Tuesday against a plan to raise the Young Road dike by one metre led to police being called.
Anti-dike raising a stink at city hall Protestors send loud message to council they don’t want dike raised BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com
A
n anti-dike raising protest at Chilliwack city hall Tuesday led by the mayor’s brother started with placard waving on Young Road outside, moved inside council chambers and ended with an RCMP presence. The group of close to 30 residents of Young on Fairfield Island also included Skwah and Skway band members and was led by Mayor Sharon Gaetz’s brother, Dave Hallett, who lives on the one-kilometre stretch of Young that will be raised by one metre to meet provincial dike
standards. The group held signs and expressed their opposition in front of city hall around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday. But tensions rose when they came into council chambers holding the signs—a violation of city bylaws—at the back of the room at city council’s twice-monthly public meeting. “I just want to say ‘hi’ to my sister,” Hallett said in council chambers, adding some levity to what ended up an awkward situation. Gaetz postponed the start of the meeting with the reason that she shouldn’t be involved in the discussion because of her connection to her brother. The residents are opposed to a Feb. 3 council decision to approve $780,000 of city funds, one third of the approved budget of $2.34 million to be matched by provincial and federal funding, to raise Young Road from Cartmell Road to the Hope Slough by one metre.

was present and said he still has memories of his mother being forced off the land in the flood of 1948 and fleeing to the U.S. “Each of the high waters over the last few years has put a threat to our well-being,” he told the Times outside city hall. With the group in council chambers, Gaetz, as she has done all along with this issue, said she could not get involved. Since a council meeting was scheduled, she asked the group to move outside and suggested any councillors who wanted to join them do so. Only Coun. Sam Waddington was up to the challenge and faced the large group in the hall outside coun-
cil chambers alongside director of corporate services Rob Carnegie. “You are building a castle, drawing up the drawbridge and leaving people across the moat,” said new Young Road resident Stuart Leslie. Both Hallett and Rene Crawshaw, among others, encouraged the city to reverse its decision to raise Young Road and instead consider the longer term plan of extending the Cartmell Road dike to Chilliwack Mountain. Eventually, First Nations drummers began playing and singing so loud it ended the conversation and disrupted the council meeting underway inside. Carnegie asked the group drumming to leave and was told the drums were a way to let those on the “the other side” understand when no one listens. The First Nations group left after which four RCMP officers arrived. The rest of the protesters then left city hall without incident but the group of Young Road residents hopes to arrange a meeting with city council.

› News are changing here, with more people coming from Vancouver.’ She clearly believes that Chilliwack and Hope voters aren’t as ‘enlightened’ as Liberal voters from Vancouver.’” So why ask for fundraising dollars targeting the enemy as the Liberals, a party that has finished either third or fourth in the last four federal elections locally? “They are very nervous,” De Jaeger says. “They have never had anybody who looked like a threat to them and I’m getting that from all my conservative friends.” The Bravo Restaurant owner says he’s got the proof that it’s true the demographics in Chilliwack are changing. “I’ve been to 3,000 doors,” De Jaeger said. “Mark hasn’t done any of that. The best he can come up with is a letter and send it out to a few select people. . . . People are saying this is why we don’t like the Conservatives. We might have supported them in the past, but they don’t have the guts to go out there and talk to their own constituents.” While De Jaeger says the polling he and his campaign have done at the doorstep give him reason for optimism, University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) political science professor Hamish Telford says Liberal optimism in Chilliwack overstates how fast demographic changes happen. “That claim that is made in that letter was very similar to the thinking that the NDP had in the last provincial election here in the valley,” Telford says. “Candidates in certain

Sex criminal found dead BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com
A
Chilliwack man facing jail time for underage sex charges appears, as his lawyer feared, to have “done something rash.” David Thomas Hilpert’s lawyer Juan O’Quinn told a BC Supreme Court on March 9 he was concerned for his client when he did not show up for sentencing as expected. Hilpert pleaded guilty on Dec. 1, 2014 to two of more than a dozen prostitution and sex charges he faced in con-
nection with a Craigslist erotic services page. Hilpert’s lawyer was not in court this Tuesday when the Crown told the court the Chilliwack RCMP had confirmed “Mr. Hilpert is now deceased.” As a matter of “housekeeping” the Crown asked for the forfeiture of some materials seized in the investigation and abated the charges. The 54-year-old Hilpert was to be sentenced in connection with a 2010 incident where he procured sex from a 14-year-old Chilliwack girl via a Craigslist ad.
At that time the teenager was also arrested for allegedly recruiting other young girls into the sex trade. Police said the girl posted an online ad on Craigslist’s erotic services page, claiming she was 18 years old. Hilper t faced a dozen charges but pleaded guilty to sexual interference of a person under 16 and of being a householder permitting sexual activity. When exactly Hilpert died is unclear, but the first comments on an online obituary guest book for him are from March 18.

Why not get her a new chair and fix the other one up and donate it? She so deserves a new chair!!” Trish Wollard-Stolle replied on Facebook soon after the Kew’s update was posted. “We wouldn’t feel right to do so,” Charlene had told the Times earlier Tuesday. “That would not be honest and would ruin it for all other families
Returning money to donors needing help via gofundme and all other charities. We are happy that through the media it was found.” The family will find a way to pay for the repairs, she said. Finding the wheelchair was their intent all along when they first reached out on social media. “More than anything for us the gift that cannot be refunded is the support of community we witnessed,” Charlene said in a Facebook post. The crowdfunded money raised was a generous gift set up by CKNW and only possible because of community spirit, but it won’t be needed now that the wheelchair is recovered
according to Charlene. “We as a family still continue to look forward in creating more awareness about cerebral palsy and the costs it takes for all special needs families to get their child the mobility and speech devices they require to be kids,” she said. “We are so appreciative of everyone’s love and kindness.” As for the wheelchair lift that was found damaged in the retrieved van, the Kews are still waiting to find out if it can be salvaged. An anonymous donor separate from the crowdfunding campaign has offered to help with repairs or replacement of that equipment.

As for the 911 call, Rail said senior RCMP management are on the case and admit mistakes were made. “There was a breakdown and it’s been recognized and we are addressing this,” Rail said. “Jocelyn has brought this to our attention. We don’t want the people in Chilliwack thinking they can’t expect a high level of service. This is going to strengthen what’s going on.” One area of confusion about the 911 call is where Wilson says the dispatcher told her an officer would show up in the morning, implying no one was coming immediately. Rail says that’s not the case and the call was in the queue to be dispatched. “There was somebody coming,” he said. Moving on The incident so shook Wilson, a self-employed hairdresser, she was unable to work the next day so she lost wages and spent money on new locks, an alarm system and a new bed. The young man who broke in (or his mother, she’s not sure) paid her about half of the money she spent/ lost, she says. “Now the father has said ‘Screw you, we’ve done enough, we don’t want to hear from you again.’” For Wilson, now, her attention is not on the perpetrator despite that he wasn’t charged and she’s not happy with how the young man’s parents responded. It’s about the police. “I’m not on a witch hunt after him, he screwed up,” she said. “I want to know that people are safe and that police will come when we need them.” Rail insists that despite this one mistake, that is indeed the case. “The community is safe,” he said. “We take great pride in the high level of services we provide.”

If you are after the $10,000 gold-plated Apple iWatch, you aren’t likely to find it at a local retailer. But local retailers can meet the majority of shoppers needs and desires. That won’t be true, however, if shoppers head online, to neighbouring cities, or down across the border in search of bargains that often don’t turn out to be as good a deal, once you start adding in travel or shipping costs. If we want to be able to shop for more than just the basic necessities of life, it’s up to us, the consumer. Shopping local helps local businesses to thrive and encourages more to locate here. But shopping local isn’t something we do just to line the pockets of store owners. Spending your dollars locally means not only supporting the business you are purchasing from, but their families, as well as their employees and their families and all the businesses those people shop at.

Climate change and unicorn farts
F
or climate change deniers, afflicted with a pathological cognitive dissonance, put yourself in their place for a moment and then come on back to reality with the daily news. How hard must that be to hear something over and over, treated as part of our new global reality, when you think it doesn’t exist? At once, they fight internally with the inconvenient reality of scientific discovery that frustrates ardently held ideologies on how the world should be run, and then are overwhelmed with the mainstream media reporting on the reality of human-caused climate change and its impact. So, so hard. As a thought experiment, I tried to put myself in the position of these folks, blinded by neoliberal ideology and/or indoctrinated by oil-funded research institute propaganda. So I replaced the term “climate change” as seen in the media with something else. First I thought “socialist conspiracy” or “David Suzuki retirement plan.” Too awkward. Maybe something nonsensical, as these folks believe climate change to be. How about “unicorn farts”? “Unicorn farts threaten to strip the identity of Glacier National Park,” reports
PAUL J. HENDERSON @peejayaitch The New York Times. “Next December, 196 nations will meet in Paris to agree a course of action to respond to unicorn farts,” reports The Guardian. Premier Christy Clark’s statement on Washington’s initiative to address the topic: “I would like to congratulate Washington Governor Jay Inslee for his bold, progressive proposals to tackle unicorn farts, including putting a price on carbon. In working with Gov. Inslee, along with the governors of Oregon and California, through British Columbia’s membership in the Pacific Coast Collaborative, I’ve seen first-hand the passion and leadership that he brings to the unicorn fart file.” “Obama to Present Unicorn Farts as Public-Health Hazard” says the Wall Street Journal. According to The Guardian: “The first day of the World Economic Forum in Davos was dominated by calls for 2015 to be a year of action on unicorn farts.”
How about columnist Elizabeth Renzetti of the Globe and Mail: “Unicorn farting consensus is reached everywhere except in Washington.” See how hard it must be to read the news when you reject climate science? Contrary to what you might see in letters sections and on some blogs, there is no real debate among scientists who actually study the matter. When 97 per cent of any group are in general agreement, that’s a solid consensus. The debate comes not with science but with the ideology that sees humans above nature, or at least removed from the “environment,” rather than seeing how we rely upon the air, land and water. We may be on top of the food chain, but we’re still in the chain. More than that, the discovery that the unfettered capitalism that gives us so much and serves as the foundation of the neoliberal style of government we all live under is also the cause of warming the world’s climate is, well, as Al Gore’s movie put it: really, really inconvenient. The science is mostly understood, the consensus among those who study the subject is there, but the solutions frustrate those who don’t like regulation or restraints on industry or consumer behaviour.
Those who spend enormous amounts of time denying accepted science do so either because they have been duped by organizations like the oil-industry funded Heartland Institute, or they simply agree with the Heartland spin on reality to further the neoliberal agenda. It’s pretty simple, but it must be so frustrating for them. Most mainstream newspapers are now ignoring skeptics and deniers altogether. Alan Rusbridger editor of The Guardian wrote: “For the purposes of our coming coverage, we will assume that the scientific consensus about man-made climate change and its likely effects is overwhelming. We will leave the skeptics and deniers to waste their time challenging the science. The mainstream argument has moved on to the politics and economics.” So rather than criticize, let’s spare a thought for the poor climate change denier, wracked with the daily frustration of trying to dismiss broadly accepted science while the rest of us consider ways to deal with it. Feel for the skeptics as they grind their teeth and clench their fists reading the news. You know how it is when you are fixated on something; they must smell unicorn farts everywhere.

Editor: Re: On the Chilliwack school board rejection of The Magic of Reality: How We Know What’s Really True by Richard Dawkins Richard Dawkins, Oxford professor of evolutionary biology, is arguably the foremost expert in his field. Modern biology is based on evolutionary theory and genetics. The fact that Dawkins is an atheist is not relevant. The issue is science—not religious faith. The fact that 93 per cent of his colleagues in the National Academy of Sciences are also atheists should provide a clue that science and religion are deeply incommensurable fields of discourse. Anyone with a scientific world view seeks a natural explanation for natural phenomena. An atheist is merely someone who does not believe in god or gods; it does not imply any particular political or ideological position. There are few modes of human thought less congenial and more corrosive of religious faith than science. Perhaps Christians should reflect on the fact that so many of these highly respected and intelligent people in the National Academy don’t believe in God? I recently bought The Magic of Reality for my 11-year-old granddaughter in Ohio to provide her with some understanding of what science is, how it works, and why it is so successful. The book is a riveting read for people of all ages. Richard Dawkins’ passion for science and reason has never been more evident than in this work. I also highly recommend all his earlier works on science in addition to his most recent publication, his autobiographical Appetite for Wonder: The Making of a Scientist. Dawkins ruffled many religious feathers with his best seller The God Delusion and this seems to have affected the reception of his prior and subsequent publications. But Christians should avoid the mistake of seeing scientific principles as some kind of heresy. The project of science is not concerned with scripture, the supernatural or faith; it deals, rather, with evidence, facts and patterns found in the natural world. Public and repeatable demonstrations are the basis of scientific inquiry—not the personal testimony grounded in faith that is the foundation of all religion. I grew up in B.C. public schools at a time when we were subjected to morning rituals of the Lord’s Prayer and Bible readings. One morning in my Grade 6 class I foolishly decided to ask my teacher why we had to endure these practices, which I found extremely boring and abstruse. My teacher flew into a rage, I was sent to the

The most important aptitude our students require is to know how to know, by which I mean how to acquire genuine knowledge in the form of justified true beliefs. This entails logic, critical thinking, skepticism and a sound understanding of the scientific enterprise. Euripides once said, “Man’s most valuable trait is a judicious sense of what not to believe.” Richard Dawkins, in his magnificent book The Magic of Reality, takes the inquisitive student on a luminous intellectual journey espousing these intellectual virtues.

Is CPP just a legal Ponzi scheme? Editor: Anyone planning for retirement should note the following: The only thing wrong with the government’s calculation of available CPP is that they forgot to figure in the people who died before ever collecting a CPP cheque. Where did that money go? Remember, not only did you and I contribute to CPP but your employer did, too. It totalled 15 per cent of your income before taxes. If you averaged only $30,000 over your working life, that’s close to $220,500. Read that again. Did you see where the government paid in one single penny? We are talking about the money you and your employer put in a government bank to insure you and I that we would have a retirement cheque from the money we put in, not the government. Now they are calling the money we put in an entitlement when we reach the age to take it back. If you calculate the future invested value of $4,500 per year (yours and your employer’s contribution) at a simple 5 per cent interest (less than what the government pays on
the money that it borrows), after 49 years of working you’d have $892,919.98. If you took out only three per cent per year, you’d receive $26,787.60 per year and it would last better than 30 years (until you’re 95 if you retire at age 65) and that’s with no interest paid on that final amount on deposit. If you bought an annuity and it paid four per cent per year, you’d have a lifetime income of $2,976.40 per month. The folks in Ottawa have pulled off a bigger Ponzi scheme than Bernie Madoff ever did. Entitlement my foot, I paid cash for my CPP. Just because they borrowed the money for other government spending, doesn’t make my benefits some kind of charity or handout. Mario C. Alleckna Chilliwack
Chiefs thankful for amazing support
April 13 - 17 A suburban family is torn apart when fourteen-year-old Annie (Liana Liberato) meets her first boyfriend online. After months of communicating via online chat and phone, Annie discovers her friend (Chris Henry Coffey) is not who he originally claimed to be. Shocked into disbelief, her parents (Clive Owen and Catherine Keener) are shattered by their daughter's actions and struggle to support her as she comes to terms with what has happened to her once innocent life.

Editor: On behalf of everyone in the Chilliwack Chiefs organization— players, coaches, owners, management, staff and volunteers—may I offer our most sincere thanks to the thousands of Chilliwack hockey fans as well as our many sponsors and suppliers who supported the Chiefs this past season. While we saw a terrific improvement in our on-ice record—from last place to Mainland Division Champions in just one season—we also enjoyed the largest average attendance of all Junior A clubs, not just in B.C., but all across Canada. Personally I want to thank those same players, coaches, staff and volunteers for an outstanding performance in making Prospera Centre a great place to be on hockey nights. “Chiefs Hockey – Chilliwack’s Team” is an advertising slogan that is quickly becoming a fact. Recruiting for next season’s team is already well underway and I have great confidence that Head Coach Jason Tatarnic and his terrific staff will deliver an even better team come September. We look forward with excitement to being able to greet our many fans—from season ticket holders to single game buyers—as we continue to build toward our vision of being “The Best Junior Hockey Club in North America.” We also appreciate the excellent coverage of the Chiefs each week in the Chilliwack Times. Thank you all very much. Glen Ringdal, President Chilliwack Chiefs Hockey Club

Get over it! Time for an apology BY VERN TOMPKE Vineyard Community Church
A
s one of the Christian pastors behind this local column, I, along with my colleagues, attempt to write respectful, yet thought provoking articles that communicate both to “church people” and “non-church people” alike. I also realize that in the desire to not appear that Christians have a monopoly on “faith,” this paper has also taken the opportunity to invite those of differing belief systems to write articles providing alternate worldviews. I applaud the paper for this, especially since respectful conversations around faith are what we need more of, not less. It has been pointed out to me, however, that some of these articles read more as “counter-Christian” attacks that do not show the same respect or tolerance in return. A few of them (certainly not all) seemed to be primarily concerned with painting people of faith, and especially Christians, in a completely negative light.
To be honest, my first reaction when I read these articles is to respond in a defensive fashion. After taking a deep breath, however, I realize that if we as Christians have become clear targets, we need to first take responsibility for how we have painted the targets on ourselves. It’s not just skeptics who can point out how we have failed to represent the Jesus we say we follow. Phillip Yancey, an evangelical Christian, writes in his book, Vanishing Grace, how Christians have tarnished their credibility both historically and currently. According to Yancey, when a poll of college students was asked to write the first thing they think of when the word “Christian” comes to mind the top answer was “people who don’t practice what they preach.” While 84 per cent said they personally knew of at least one committed Christian, just 15 per cent thought there was any significant difference in their lifestyle from the norm. Frankly, I read with sadness some of the letters to the editor
that “Christian people” write. When some people had the temerity to suggest that “Christmas” wasn’t the best name for the winter holiday, in charge the “defenders of the faith” telling people they need to go back to “where they came from.” When the paper wrote about the young gay couple who had adopted children in Chilliwack, this paper had to go as far as offering an apology for even printing some of the vitriolic letters that some wrote in the name of “Christianity!” Listening to some “Christians,” it seems to me that they are angry and resentful that their worldview no longer dominates the marketplace of ideas. I say to my fellow Christians . . . “Get over it!” Here’s a challenge to those of us who call ourselves “believers”—let’s learn to live like the early Christians who also faced a secular (and often hostile) society yet irrevocably changed their world around them by their lifestyle. Although I can’t speak for every pastor or every person
who calls themselves a Christian, I do believe that I represent many local pastors and churches who would like to say “we are sorry.” Sorry for the way the church (and those in it) have failed to represent the grace of Christ to the rest of you. I do believe that there are still social issues that we do need to talk about in respectful ways. Whether you see yourself as Christian, Wiccan, Skeptic or somewhere in between, we all are grappling with life’s basic questions. Of course, I believe that Jesus offers answers to these questions, but many have stopped listening to those who claim to be his followers. A chunk of that is our fault. Perhaps with a little more listening, a healthy dose of humility, and a whole lot more basic respect on our parts, we as Christians will become less of a target and re-earn the right to be invited back into these conversations. ◗ Vern Tompke pastors at the Vineyard Community Church and welcomes your feedback at vtompke@shaw.ca.

great memories W
ith Nanaimo’s win over the Penticton Vees last Thursday, Chilliwack hockey fans let out a collective sigh of frustration, many unhappy with the round robin playoff format that created the anticlimactic end to an exciting season. Though the Chiefs were stopped before they could reach a provincial championship opportunity, their improvement over last season was monumental. In the playoffs, Chilliwack ploughed through their division winning the Mainland championship in only nine games. Their only loss in the first two rounds was against Coquitlam— away and in overtime. Last year, the Chiefs season was over before playoff action even started, finishing with a 14-37-25 record compared to this year’s reversal of 37-17-1-3. Here’s what the Chilliwack Chiefs players and staff say was their most memorable moments of the eventful 25th anniversary 201415 season.
Glen Ringdal
“My greatest memory of the season was the multiple times when the team came from behind to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat and earn the title
of ‘Cardiac Kids.’” Glen Ringdal, president and director of business development “It is tough to pinpoint one moment as, ‘the most memorable.’ In a season with hot and cold streaks, there were many moments that will stick with me as I move on. One aspect throughout it all that kept consistent was the camaraderie amongst the players. Since training camp, everyone got along well and we stayed tight throughout it all. Even through the tough times, we stayed close. And finishing the season as division champions proves how much of a team we really were. Although it is
tough when a season ends, I am thoroughly pleased with how the season went and am happy I was able meet the people that Eric Roberts I met. It was a season to remember and I would have to thank the players for that.” Eric Roberts, captain and defenceman “My favourite memory happened at the Chiefs year end banquet. Cam Janzen had an emotional goodbye speech that Barry Douglas once again showed how tight the Chiefs family has been for 25 years. I also have many positive memories of the players giving back to the community this season. I am very proud of the hard work the players did off the ice in Chilliwack.” Barry Douglas, marketing and sales manager “The most memorable part of the season was Pasta-daPuck. We have the best fans in the league and it was an absolute Jake Larson pleasure getting to know many of them at that event. The fans here will always have a special place in my heart and I hope future teams I play for have just as positive and loyal of a following. Winning the Mainland division was pretty cool.” Jake Larson, forward
‘Caps coaches ensure boys and girls of all skill levels are challenged, focused, and having fun. Plus - receive an official camp t-shirt, poster, and meet a Whitecaps FC player (at select camps). Choose from:
“My memorable moment was the last regular season home game and the end of the game when Jordan Kawaguchi Cam Janzen handed me the puck as it was my last regular season game as a Chief.” Cam Janzen, trainer “November 8 versus Langley. First massive crowd of the season with 3,023 fans in attendance and we routed the Rivermen Andrea Laycock 7-1. For me it was more about the crowd. They were really into the game and loud. It was an unreal atmosphere in the rink. Game four of the Coquitlam series. Two fan buses to the game plus many more who drove down on their own. It was a home game on the road for the boys. Again we won by a large margin that night. Within the office a young boy got a paper route so he could buy Chiefs season tickets. That is very cool.” Andrea Laycock, office manager “The home game against Trail. Chiefs are losing 7-3 with nine minutes left. There’s a time out and shortly thereafter Jason Denham coach Tatarnic pulls the goalie the Chiefs come back to tie the game in the last minute and win it in overtime!” Jason Denham, trainer

national volunteer week April 12 - 18
“Volunteers form the backbone of many non-profit organizations. Chilliwack is blessed to have their compassionate enthusiasm and service, making our community a better place. The Salvation Army in Chilliwack joins many other worthy organizations in expressing our most sincere thanks to these precious individuals for their vital support. We would be unable to feed the hungry, clothe the cold, provide shelter to the homeless, and hope to the hurting without our volunteers.” - Tim Bohr, Community Ministries Director, The Salvation Army Care & Share Centre
It’s all about the volunteers H alf of all Canadians contribute their time, energy and skills to charitable groups and non-profit organizations volunteering more than two billion hours annually. Volunteering is integral to the Canadian way of life and the continued sustainability of countless organizations across the country. That’s why April 12 to 18 Chilliwack will recognize its thousands of volunteers during National Volunteer Week. “The YMCA has more than 1,000 active volunteers. We simply couldn’t do what we do without their passion, talent and dedication. The Y is able to make a real impact in people’s lives because of the role that volunteers play in giving back to their neighbourhoods and communities,” says Karen Bester, director, Chilliwack Family YMCA. Volunteers and the act of volunteering bring multiple benefits to organizations, communities and people. Organizations receive enormous contributions of time, talents and skills. “Volunteers are the backbone of our organization. Without the hundreds of volunteers that donate their time, skills and efforts every day, Cyrus Centre would not be possible,”
says Leah Froese, director, Cyrus Centre Chilliwack. Communities are healthier and more cohesive through active citizen engagement. People receive important services from volunteers, and, through volunteering, people gain experience, improve their employment and educational options and have a greater sense of belonging and well-being. “Volunteers form the backbone of many charities and non-profit organizations. Chilliwack is blessed to have their compassionate enthusiasm and service, making our community a better place,” says Tim Bohr, Community Ministries Director, The Salvation Army Care & Share Centre. “The Salvation Army in Chilliwack joins many other worthy organizations in expressing our most sincere thanks to these precious individuals for their vital support. We would be unable to feed the hungry, clothe the cold, provide shelter to the homeless, and hope to the hurting without our volunteers.” The recent Global Volunteer Conference addressed the vital role of volunteers in an increasingly polarized and fragmented world, calling on all sectors to make volunteering a priority and to recognize the con-
tribution of volunteers in making the world a better place. Canadians continue to rise to this challenge, generously volunteering more than two billion hours annually—the equivalent of 1.1 million fulltime jobs. In 2010, about one-half of Canadians contributed their time, energy and skills to groups and organizations such as charities and non-profits. They provided leadership on boards and committees; canvassed for funds; provided advice, counselling or mentoring; visited seniors; prepared and delivered food; served as volunteer drivers; advocated for social causes; coached children and youth. In short, they shaped their communities and enabled non-profit organizations to deliver programs and services to millions of their fellow Canadians. “People volunteer for a number of different reasons, to give back, to be helpful, to make a difference or gain experience. Whatever the reason— the network of volunteer organizations in Chilliwack works very hard to provide the right fit for people in our community, making it one of the best places to live in the Lower Mainland,” says Cari Moore, Co-ordinator of Volunteer Chilliwack, Chilliwack Community Services.

Aphid infestation tough to beat Q: Last summer an aphid infestation prevented me sitting on my apartment patio. It gets a little sun in late afternoon when surrounding buildings don’t block it. Most plants are in pots, but most of the sun shines on a small patch of dirt that includes peonies, roses, lavender, clematis, a tree and some boxwoods. I have tried environmentally friendly things, chemicals and wasted money on ladybugs that flew away after they were full. I want to be able to enjoy my garden when days get sunny and warm. It’s a lovely spot in the middle of an urban jungle of noise and people. Virginia Edwards Vancouver A: Surrounded by concrete and asphalt you likely have a major lack of aphid predators. I wonder what birds (if any) visit your area. Hummingbirds eat aphids but I’m sure there wouldn’t be enough food or flowers to keep birds around for long. A container pond might attract a wide variety of birds—but it could be all you’d get was pigeons. I think a better tack would be focusing on plants that aphids don’t like. I wonder if your lavender ever
ANNE MARRISON Green Thumb gets aphids. Mine never have, nor my artemesias, rosemaries, santolina nor any of the Mediteranean-type aromatic herbs. Alliums/ garlic seemed to be resistant too. The key to attracting aphids seems to be tender leaves and shoots. Once they’ve found these, they may gradually move to sterner fare if it’s available close by. But aphids seem not to feed on strong-smelling, shrubby plants, though shrubs can be a favourite over-wintering site. Since high-nitrogen fertilizer encourages excessive tender growth, you would be better to focus on balanced fertilizers (all three numbers the same). If you have any ant nests in your patch of soil it would be best to try to eliminate them. That’s because ants actually carry aphids up plants in spring so that they can “farm” them for the sweet substance aphids excrete. There are a gazillion kinds of aphids. I do hope yours are the
green ones that can be blasted off by hose. The black ones are so sticky the only resource can be to prune those branches off. Many aphids overwinter as eggs on shrubs, often in the crevices between buds and the stem. In winter it would be best to examine your shrubs, your tree and especially the boxwoods. Being evergreen, the boxwoods would be a wonderful, warm place for the eggs to shelter—and very hard for you to examine. It might be best to cut your clematis about a foot (30cm) from ground level after flowering. Clematis handle pruning well. Your rose could handle a good pruning too. This will make your inspection work easier. Some aphids overwinter in plant debris in the top inch of soil. Removing this layer in pots and garden and replacing it with fresh soil or compost could help a lot It’s very sad to give up plants that you love. You may need to decide which matters most to you: fewer aphids or fewer of your favourite plants (boxwoods perhaps). ◗ Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions via amarrison@ shaw.ca.

M
time, the decomposition process will turn scraps into a nutrient-rich, dark brown substance that provides many plants with all they need to thrive. Compost is particularly useful in vegetable gardens. Manure should come from herbivores, or those animals that sustain themselves on grass and other plants. Carnivores can
produce harmful bacteria in their waste, which is not safe to use in gardens, particularly food-bearing gardens. Manure can be commercially purchased, or avid gardeners can work out arrangements with nearby livestock owners and farms. These people may be more than willing to give you manure for little to no cost if you
cart it away. Dried manure is preferred because it will have minimal odor. Additional forms of organic amendments include wood ash, sphagnum peat, wood chips, sawdust, and worm droppings. Inorganic amendments also may be used, and are usually relied on to improve water retention and drainage. Vermiculite, perlite, pea gravel, and sand are examples of inorganic amendments. A combination of organic and inorganic amendments can create the perfect mix for your needs. Soil amendments typically are added to new and unplanted beds. Peat moss and shredded bark take years to decompose and will serve as longterm amendments in the soil. Compost breaks down quickly and may need to be worked in more frequently. Experts recommend spreading amendments on the planting bed and then using a rake or tiller to work it in to a depth of about nine inches. Particularly sandy soil or soil with a lot of clay may need more amendments.

other Nature provides plenty to grow healthy lawns, gardens and landscapes. But as many homeowners know, some lawns sometimes need a little extra boost to complement nature. Soil sometimes must be amended so plants can thrive. Only after the right composition is created can plants take root and perform to the best of their abilities. The Colorado State University Extension defines a soil amendment as any material added to soil to improve its physical properties. The goal is to provide a better environment for roots. Depending on what you are starting with, any number of ingredients must be added to the soil recipe. Water retention, permeability, drainage, aeration, nutrients, and water infiltration are some of the things amendments can improve when added to soil. Before homeowners add anything to the soil in their yards, it is first important to determine what that soil needs. Homeowners may notice if soil is overly sandy or full of clay, but further testing can confirm what the soil is lacking. Speak with a nursery or garden centre about where you can get your soil tested. A comprehensive test may cost between $5 and $10 and can provide invaluable information that saves you hundreds of dollars in wasted plants and materials, not to mention effort. Some labs also can tailor their recommendations based on the type of planting you will be doing. For example, a vegetable garden may need different amendments than a row of azalea bushes. Organic matter is a preferred soil amendment used by professional and novice gardeners alike. The decaying remains of plants release nutrients that are absorbed into the soil and used by microorganisms and bacteria, creating a healthy environment for plants. Organic material may break up compacted soil to increase drainage. In sandy soil, organic material serves as a sponge to keep water from washing away. Compost and manure are two examples of frequently used organic materials. Both of these materials are readily available at little cost. Compost can be produced at home from food and plant scraps. Raked leaves and small amounts of grass clippings can be added to compost. Over

GM apple gets gov’t approval

T
he controversial genetically modified apple developed by an Okanagan company (and reported in the Eaten Path on May 29, 2014) is ready for human consumption, according to Health Canada. The non-browning, Arctic® apple produced by Okanagan Specialty Fruits is the first ever genetically modified (GM) fruit approved in Canada, this on the heels of approval in the U.S. And the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network (CBAN) is not impressed. “Our government is not listening to Canadians,” said Lucy Sharratt of CBAN. “Fruit growers had asked the government not to approve this GM apple and polls show that a majority of consumers don’t want it on grocery store shelves.” According to Health Canada, their scientists “determined that the changes made to the apple did not pose a greater risk to human health than apples currently available on the Canadian market.” The agency said the science behind the apple is simple. “A gene was introduced into the Arctic apple that results in a reduction in the levels of enzymes that make apples turn brown when sliced,” says a posting on the Health Canada website. “In every other way, the Arctic apple tree and its fruit are identical to any other apple.” But Teresa Lynne of Society for a GE Free BC says it misleads consumers because the apple will look fresh even when it is not. “The GM apple threatens the reputation of apples as fresh, wholesome food. We don’t need it.” The apple will not be required to be labelled as genetically modified, however the company has indicated it will have the Arctic apple sticker so consumers will know what they are buying. With approval, test markets may likely see the fruit as early as 2016.

f eager backyard gardeners weren’t already turning soil and getting their hands dirty in the mild late winter in Chilliwack, they are really ready now that spring is here in full force. And while the growing season means different things for different gardeners, for the folks at Food Matters Chilliwack it’s time to kick off the annual Plant A Row, Grow A Row (PARGAR) program. This year the beneficiaries of the program are visitors to Ruth and Naomi’s Mission. The downtown homeless shelter will receive food from those who participate in the PARGAR program for evening meals and weekly hampers. For those who haven’t participated or heard of it, PARGAR is a program that builds on the age-old tradition of gardeners taking a little of that extra backyard vegetable bounty to share with someone in need. The program isn’t new in Chilliwack and organizers say they’ve seen a dip in donation totals in recent years so they are hoping to turn that around in 2015. This year’s PARGAR kickoff is Saturday, April 25 from 1:30 to 4 p.m. at the Ruth and Naomi Mission Community Gardens (downtown Chilliwack on Yale Road on the old Paramount site). There will be the usual plant sale, gardening workshops and free garden starter seed kits for the first 75 attendants. At 2 p.m. local master gardener Jack Kouwenhoven will host a workshop followed by iconic B.C. gardening expert Brian Minter at 3 p.m. There will also be a silent auction and activities for kids. Everyone is welcome and admission is by donation. For more information on PARGAR look them up on Facebook or email fmcpargar@gmail.com.

Not hearing clearly when many people are talking? Many people find that they are no longer able to understand everything, particularly when in the company of others. Engineered in Switzerland, System Audéo V has been designed specifically to understand in group situations.
The majority of those surveyed stated that when exposed to considerable background noise they are able to hear that something is being spoken, but can no longer discern precisely what is being said. The words seem blurred and indistinct. But why is that? The effect tends to manifest itself in company, or in the restaurant. It is the high-pitched tones perceived at the entrance to the cochlea that are decisive when it comes to hearing things accurately. In the majority of cases these parts of the inner ear are the first to be affected by noise or aging. As the high-pitched tones are no longer perceived well, the auditory center of the brain begins to struggle to decode language. It’s a bit like an image that doesn’t have enough pixels.

The new Audéo V devices ensure considerably clearer reproduction of spoken language in company.
New hearing chip developed Swiss audiologists have developed a new hearing chip that is designed to restore speech comprehension, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can test the new Audéo V system by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. The test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The chip recognizes where the person being spoken to
is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation.

About playwright Ken Ludwig
K
en Ludwig is an internationally-acclaimed playwright whose work has been performed in more than 30 countries in over 20 languages. He has had six shows on Broadway and six in London’s West End. His first play on Broadway, Lend Me A Tenor, which the New York Times called “one of the two great farces by a living writer,” won two Tony Awards and was nominated for seven. He has also won two Laurence Olivier Awards (England’s high-
is a mashie, a two-wood is a brassy, a three-wood is a spoon.” So, with their long history of golfing together, did Arch inspire any of the characters? “Justin is a young version of Arch,” says Ludwig. “He’s a complete wiz-bang at golf, and he’s so sweet. He doesn’t realize how talented he is, he just does what he does, and he does it so well that he doesn’t notice. And he gets the girl in the end.” Given the chance to trash talk Campbell’s game, and this is the best Ludwig could do: “Arch is so good he would make a saint nervous. He’s so relaxed he can drive you crazy . . . I’d really appreciate it if he got a little worse.” When asked what audiences should take away from this play, Ludwig responded by saying, “I hope they come away feeling rejuvenated, inspired, and happier than when they went in the door.”

he inspiration for The Fox on the Fairway, about a madcap golf tournament, has an office just down the hall. WJLA’s Arch Campbell has been playing golf with Tony-nominated playwright Ken Ludwig for the duration of their 20-year friendship, and when Campbell was first asked about it, he said they were both terrible. “I might have shot 90, and he might have shot 100,” says Campbell of their last meeting. “I started out with a birdie. It all went downhill from there. We walk around out there, two old guys—he’s not old, I am— joking and talking.” “Campbell is being modest—he always wins,” says Ludwig. Their golf traditions include citing the work of author P.G. Wodehouse, who wrote many stories about golf. “One time he wrote me a letter in the style of P.G. Wodehouse, and with Ken, he and I refer to our clubs in the P.G. Wodehouse style,” says Campbell. “A nine-iron is a niblick, and a seven-iron

If you’re looking for a little music to brighten your April, we’ve got a killer line-up ready and waiting: Spirit of the West’s John Mann comes to our Rotary Hall Studio Theatre for an intimate acoustic evening April 17. He brings his most recent solo album to life with unabashed honesty, discussing his recent struggles with both cancer and Alzheimer’s. The Rotary Hall Studio Theatre also plays host to a final morning of classical music with the brilliant and lovely Sarah Hagen, one of Canada’s most talented pianists on April 17. With fresh coffee and complimentary pastries from Sardis Bakery, there’s no better way to start the day; Sarah leads the audience on a journey through music, stopping to tell the story behind the compositions between pieces. We also have some amazing classes lined up to start this month, including glasswork, painting, drawing, and more. If you’re looking for a new hobby, check out Making Glass Beads, Clay Creators, or Introduction to Drawing—perfect for any beginner. Check out our website class listings for more information and even more classes—including metalwork, photography, kids’ classes, and so many others.
And while it’s not technically an April event at all, we’re just too excited to wait any longer—the Chilliwack Art of Wine Festival is headed your way on May 9, and it’s going to be an amazing evening. Think vibrant, local, and award-winning wines; think raffle, silent auction, and live music; think perfectly paired hors d’oeuvres made from the freshest and most local ingredients possible. Not only will it be a fantastic night to remember, but all proceeds from this benefit event will pour directly back into arts and crafts programs at The Centre. Never has fundraising been so easy—or so fun. This second annual festival is already close to selling out—so don’t wait to pick up your tickets. No matter why you find yourself in The Centre this month, don’t forget to take a gander through the gallery. The Chilliwack Visual Artists Association presents Light & Shadow starting April 9, which showcases the work of 10 photographers. This group show is not only a brilliant collection of local art, but an exploration of light—and how it affects each moment captured in a photograph. Whether you stop by to purchase tickets or have a few minutes before your class or show starts, be sure to drop by the gallery to check it out. We’re definitely looking ahead to everything this month holds—and we hope you are too. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to call or drop by. Here’s to a month filled with art, life, and culture.

O
ur season begins to wind to a close this month—but we’re going out with a bang. Music? We’ve got it. Theatre? We’ve got it. Arts and crafts? We’ve got them. There are dozens of ways to celebrate spring at The Centre, whether you take a class or take in an evening of music. Our fringe series comes to a grand finale with Who Killed Gertrude Crump? on April 11 and 12. This hilarious romp through the tropes of murder mystery is sure to have you laughing all the way to the end. The brilliantly talented Tara Travis returns to play a dozen characters in this one-woman show—and after the huge success of her show Til Death Do We Part: The Six Wives of Henry VIII last year, we know that Chilliwack is going to love Who Killed Gertrude Crump? even more. This full-sized mystery is a hoot and a half—and audience members are encouraged to sort through the clues and red herrings to solve it themselves. Tara Travis and Monster Theatre also bring something for the kids with The Little Prince on April 12. This classic tale narrates the story of a pilot who crash lands in a desert and meets a little prince—a boy from another planet set on exploring the galaxy. This cosmic adventure leads us through asteroids and the stuff of fairy tales—and has a lot to teach audiences of all ages about the meaning of love, loneliness, and sacrifice.

OBITUARIES
Reed Craig Hilman
Patterson, Kenneth Albert
Ruth Shirley Sawyer God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, So he put his arms around you and whispered ‘Come With Me.’ With tearful eyes we watched you, slowly fade away, Although we loved you dearly, we would not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. Always loved, never forgotten.
Ken Patterson passed away unexpectedly on Friday, April 3rd , 2015 at Chilliwack General Hospital. Kenny was born on Oct. 15, 1953 in Danville, Quebec, where he grew up with six siblings. He was a kind, gentle man who loved to get together with his family and friends. His grandchildren were the joy of his life. He is survived by his wife, Joyce, his children, Alisha (Cory), and Calvin (Trieneke) and eight grandchildren, Amber, Anakin, Atreyu, Ayana, Ash, Bailey, Aslan, and Cecilia. A Memorial Service will be held on Friday, April 17 at 2:00 p.m. at Eden Mennonite Church, 46551 Chilliwack Central Rd.
It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of beloved husband, dad, grandpa, brother & uncle, Craig Hilman Reed. He leaves behind his wife Rosemary, son Jeremy (Iza), daughter Jada (Kyle), brother Tom (Penny), sister Gail (Tom), twin grandchildren (William and Aleksandra), as well as his niece and seven nephews. He is predeceased by his mother Mavis, father John and brother Dennis. Born September 4, 1949 in Quesnel BC, Craig then lived in Chilliwack his entire life. He was respected in the community for his strong work ethic and sense of humour. He could be seen working all over BC in his gravel and logging trucks. Craig was also well known and loved in the competitive Arabian horse circuit. Craig’s family and his work—the two most important things in his life—are left with an irreplaceable void. Craig will be dearly missed by all who knew him. Please join us in celebrating the life of Craig on Sunday, April 12, 2015 at the Best Western Rainbow Country Inn, 43971 Industrial Way,(at Lickman Road), Chilliwack at 1:00 p.m. If friends so desire, donations can be made to cancer research.
