Higginson Road project takes on a different look BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

A hard life Dignard, who is Kelly’s birth mother, was young when she had Kelly and she was trying to get on her feet. “I was young and naive,” she said of when she signed guardianship papers over to the Rideout family in Peterborough, Ont.

proposed Sardis housing development sent back to the drawing board in May, was back before city council Tuesday with big changes. The Higginson Road project that proposed construction of as many as 174 homes, including townhouses, was roundly criticized by dozens of neighbours at a public hearing on May 19. The property owned by William and Irene Higginson was removed from the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) in an Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) decision a year ago. The property is surrounded on three sides by homes and on one by Kinkora Golf Course. After two hours of comments at that public hearing, Mayor Sharon Gaetz made a motion to refer the proposal back to staff to rework the development and deal with the concerns of residents. “We can’t make everyone happy . . . . We can’t give everyone lower rooflines,” Gaetz said, and added, “We can try a little bit harder.” Couns. Jason Lum, Chris Kloot and Sam Waddington agreed.

Closure is all her mother wants

ead-high blackberry bushes blanket much of the property behind the Chilliwack Motor Inn like an impenetrable shield hiding what’s below. A cursory look around the fringes of the dilapidated motel property elicits fast food wrappers, cups, cushions from a chair, a used condom wrapper. The thorny bushes are so dense that without a backhoe, it’s impossible to know what else might linger

deep beneath the overgrowth. This past Saturday family and friends of Kelly Rideout wondered if maybe, just maybe, the missing woman’s body is there at the place where she was last thought to be staying. A dozen people gathered at the motel on July 4 to search for Kelly, who was last seen exactly four years ago this Friday, July 10, 2011. Kelly’s mother Nicole Dignard came to Chilliwack from Montreal for the search for her daughter—a search they feel police have given up on. Dignard’s angst about the whereabouts of her daughter is raw and

At Tuesday’s meeting, city council chose the design-build contractor for the $4.2 million Prest-Promontory-Bailey construction project. The city received proposals from Sandpiper Contracting, Martens Asphalt and Jakes Construction for the project that will see two roundabouts on Prest Road, one at Bailey Road and the other at Prairie Central Road. The design-build contract also includes paving on Promontory Road, and other infrastructure upgrades to culverts and sewers in the area. “The construction of roundabouts at these two locations will provide for enhanced safety, more efficient vehicular movements and increased pedestrian and cyclist facilities,” according to a staff report. A second part of the project involves an upgrade into Phase 2 of Paul J.

There will also be paving done on Promontory Road from Chilliwack River Road to Uplands road, and culvert replacement on a number of nearby roads, including Keith Wilson, Ford and Marble Hill. Coun. Sam Waddington asked staff why the seemingly diverse projects are combined in the same contract. Director of engineering David Blain said the Promontory paving and the roundabout at the foot of Tesky and Bailey couldn’t be done simultaneously. “The best way to schedule for both to not be dug up at the same time is to have one contractor in control,” Blain said. Manager of transportation and drainage Rod Sanderson said work on the roundabouts should start late August with all the work done by the summer of 2016. Council awarded the contract to Jake’s Construction for its bid of $4.2 million. Martens’ bid came in at $4.8 million, and Sandpiper’s at $6.6 million. Funding for the work comes from road development cost charges (DCC), drainage DCCs and the landfill reserve.

Air quality worsens as temp records continue to fall

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

ith a stifling haze sitting over the entire Lower Mainland, Metro Vancouver continued its air quality advisory Tuesday due to high concentrations of particulate matter coming from smoke from wildfires outside the region. Individuals with chronic underlying medical conditions should avoid stren-

uous exercise, according to a Metro Vancouver advisory. Staying indoors and in air conditioned spaces helps to reduce fine particulate exposure. Exposure is particularly a concern for infants, the elderly and those who have diabetes, and lung or heart disease. This advisory is expected to continue until there is a change in the current weather. Chilliwack has also seen continued temperature records broken.

A high of 36.5 C on Sunday was the hottest recorded ever for a July 5, breaking the 1958 high of 32.2 C, according to Roger Pannett, local volunteer weather observer for Environment Canada. That was a hot year, but Sunday’s high minimum of 20 C broke 1958’s 17.8 C record, and Sunday’s high mean temperature of 28.25 C broke the previous record of 25 C. Records were also broken last

Thursday as the high of 34.6 C on July 2 broke the previous record of 33.3 C in 1906. There were 13 temperature records broken in June, nine of them in the last five days of the month. The average maximum temperature last month was 27.14 C, which compares to the 30-year average for June of 21 C. It was the hottest, driest June since records commenced in 1879, and there is no end in sight in the forecast.

fter months of fundraising and organizing, the local committee that was ready to host over 200 people struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is now left scrambling to pick up the pieces with the cancellation of the event. Chilliwack’s opportunity to hold a fourday Wounded Warriors Weekend (WWW) event—scheduled less than a month away—was abruptly cancelled by the head foundation in Nipawin, Sask. Local organizer of the WWW event, Bruce Pitt-Payne said he discovered that the charity registration number the group had been told to use by the parent WWW f o u n d “I simply sent eE rm mB loankse, an email to him h a d b e e n revoked by saying, ‘I the Canada Revedemand an Agency explanation to nue (CRA).

Pitt-Payne said the two-day gap in communication from last Thursday was during a time when he and his committee were deciding on their next steps, seeking legal advice before moving forward. CRA states on its website that “a charity that lends its registration number risks losing its charitable registration,” and that the practice should not be done under any circumstances. Pitt-Payne said he’s been challenging Emmons for about four months on the matter and was not expecting such a sudden reaction by the organization. The Chilliwack committee was not

Keeping kids fed during the summer months Ruth and Naomi’s Mission steps up to fill up Bowls of Hope BY GREG LAYCHAK glaychak@chilliwacktimes.com

ith school out for the summer, kids in need are no longer getting lunches provided by the Chilliwack Bowls of Hope Society. But that doesn’t mean the need isn’t still there. To fill the gap, and in recognition of the good work Bowls of Hope does, Ruth and Naomi’s Mission is stepping up to provide lunches for kids five days a week in a program that started Monday and runs all the way to Sept. 4. Ruth and Naomi’s street and outreach pastor, Cory Buettner had asked at different schools about regular traffic utilizing the Bowls of Hope program during the school year. Depending on the school and the day, average numbers

taking meals at the program ranged from 15 to 80 per school. “It would go in flux, some days would be more, some days it would be less,” Buettner said. “From what we were hearing for a lot of these kids it was their prime meal, it was steady and they’d have it every single day.” Realizing there was a void during the summer months, Ruth and Naomi’s partnered with Bowls of Hope, and the Neighbourhood Learning Centre (NLC) at Chilliwack secondary school to help feed those in need while the regular school program was on pause. The lunches are open to kids in the school catchment areas of Little Mountain elementary, Central elementary, McCammon Traditional elementary and any other hungry child that comes for a meal. The meals will take place

“A little more work needs to be done,” Waddington said. Couns. Chuck Stam and Ken Popove were not in attendance at the May meeting. Stam had to step out of Tuesday’s meeting to avoid a conflict of interest because his design firm worked on the project. Council first abandoned the bylaw given first reading in May, and gave first reading to a new bylaw for a proposal for up to 110 single family homes and no townhouses. The development does leave room for accessory dwelling units for rental housing in the project.

Ruth and Naomi’s handed out lunch bags on the first day of the collaborative summer program at NLC. Monday to Friday at the NLC, a location Buettner is happy to have secured. Sometimes there is a stigma attached to going to the Ruth

rally lit lobby of the NLC. “And a lot of our families are used to this space, they come here for a lot of activities.” Lunch will be served from

noon until 1 p.m. and all children must be accompanied by a legal guardian. Ruth and Naomi’s Mission staff and volunteers will make the meals in the facility provided by the school district, with food provided by Bowls Of Hope and the caring citizens of Chilliwack. At this point, Buettner said a lot of volunteers have come forward to help with the effort, and that there’s always need for help to fund the program. For those who can’t donate money, food like fresh fruit and supplies such as packaging (preferably “green friendly”) are always welcome. “The less that we pay for that kind of stuff, the more we can focus on the food, and providing some good quality meals,” Buettner said.

BEFORE S AFTER A certain melancholy is left behind each summer in our local elementary classrooms

Story & photographs by Greg Laychak

chool’s out for the summer, and many students welcomed the beginning of their vacation. But as kids took down art projects and assignments from the walls of their classrooms, there was an atmosphere of melancholy left in those learning spaces. “It’s always kind of sad,” said Katharin Midzain in her empty Grade 3 classroom at Central Elementary community school.

Though it’s a bit more work to remove the accumulated decor of the school year, she defends the clutter that causes her June blues. “I think it makes the kids feel part of it when they have made the decorations,” she said. “It becomes ownership, it becomes their classroom when it’s their own artwork.” Every year, Midzain keeps one permanent piece per class on the wall for both the following year’s classes and to keep a connection

for the co-creators if they return for a visit. While those selections remain, the student-made spirals are gone from the ceiling and the art is stripped from the boards. But the same physical space can transform quickly once again as the school cycle continues, said Midzain. “When you see the same room when you come in at August to set it up, there’s a hopefulness to the emptiness.”

Best to adopt a better attitude

◗ Publisher

o paraphrase Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz … water and power and fire, oh my! Unlike Dorothy’s fears of walking through the unknown—and creepy—forest, the fear of forest fires, of power outages and water shortages are only too real this summer for citizens of the Fraser Valley. Hot dry weather has the province raising a flag on water usage, B.C. Hydro expressing concern about power usage across the province and the Coastal Fire Centre declaring a total ban on campfires. Taken together, it all sounds a little bit apocalyptic. But we haven’t reached the end of times just yet—these are necessary precautions being taken by those in positions of authority. So perhaps it is time to take notice of these times, when our systems are being pressed to the limit and wonder what it might be like in years to come, when severe restrictions are placed on power and water as a daily measure. Sure, conserving a few drops of water here and there might not seem like a lot, but those drops add up fast. And developing a conservationist attitude now, both as individuals and as a community, is the path to ensuring there will be resources available for our grandchildren.

Facebook’s low, low standards

“I

read it on the Internet so it must be true,” goes the joke when something dumb is seen online. That doesn’t mean what you read online is never true, obviously, but it also doesn’t mean that misinformation and outright libels can’t spread far and wide. With the advent of social media there came a sense that you could say what you wanted without repercussion. The fleeting aspect instills a sense of transience; words spoken on the wind. Not true, of course, as digital reminders linger, they say forever. Leaving the online world for a moment, I had a phone message Friday. Here it is: “Paul, you slander people in your newspaper articles and look at what happens to you you get slandered right back. I hear you’re a child molester. I’m sure that’s not going to sit well with all the people in town. You should recant everything that you said about those boys in court, all that bulls--t that the Crown said that you added in the newspaper, you should recant every bit of it. Your life is going to get ruined you f--king clown.” My first instinct was a bit of shock at the last line. Then, which boys in court? And then, a need to correct him: Slander

PAUL J. HENDERSON @peejayaitch and libel are forms of defamation, but slander is verbal or spoken and libel is written. A newspaper can’t slander. I looked online on the local gripe sites and found nothing, but later was forwarded a badly Photoshopped illustration on a spoof Facebook account calling me a child molester. “Hugh Moore” was his name, although I didn’t find it particularly HughMoore-ous. I soon realized which “boys” he was talking about based on the account’s eight friends. No libels in my coverage, just reports on what was said in court. The photo of me and attached libel was later posted on one local Facebook group page. “Um... he’s wanted?” one person commented. “Not real??” A response from another: “This dude has a hate-on for Paul because he reported on his friend in the newspaper.” Precisely. I suppose I’m more fair game than others because I write public-

ly, and often about criminal activity. Not that a ridiculous libel such as this should be tolerated, but police officers, lawyers, journalists, all can expect the odd threat and minor harassment. But what if I was not a reporter, which made it easier for the community to self-police the nonsense spread by a spoof account? What if he/she targeted someone he/she didn’t like for some other reason with these spoofs? And if that person wasn’t known in the small way I’m known in Chilliwack, maybe it would have spread. I reported the objectively libelous Facebook post as per the company’s protocol. Nearly every “report” link suggests you ask the person yourself to remove the offending post or block the person. If I stand in a crowded room and tell 499 people that the 500th person is a sex offender, Facebook’s solution is for person 500 to either put a bag over his head or walk out of the room. But there is a way to report a post, which I did, and received this message: “We reviewed the post you reported for harassment and found it doesn’t violate our Community Standards.” So I asked a Facebook spokesperson why a libel posted on their website

after a telephone threat in response to a newspaper story does not violate “community standards”? I was told they aim to find the balance between free expression and promoting a welcoming and safe environment. “We offer people who use Facebook the ability to customize and control what they see by unfollowing, blocking and hiding the posts, people, pages and applications they don’t want to see,” said a Facebook spokesperson, in part. Credible physical threats, she added, are removed. “Hope this helps!” (Thanks for the exclamation point.) So a threat of death violates community standards. To call me a sex offender and try to ruin my life? Not so much. But here’s the thing: The account and the posts did disappear. Facebook won’t tell me if they removed it or it was removed by whoever created it. I don’t relay this for sympathy but as a warning: If you think Facebook is a bulletin board, a place to exchange ideas and cat videos, when it turns bad, when it turns to defamation, you are basically on your own. Facebook’s community standards are, essentially, anything goes. “Hope this helps!”

However, after listening to the recent statements of some of the women in the force on the subject of sexism as well as racism, I believe that an independent investigation really is necessary.

The magic of math needs to be taught Editor: I was very interested in the letter

from Dr. Sharma (Times, July 2) regarding the teaching of mathematics the “Singapore way.” I feel that mathematics is badly taught to those being trained to teach mathematics. I always hated math when I was in school (in the UK)—it was so boring. When I was about 10 years old my father took me to visit a friend of his who was a recluse, a man who was disenchanted with mankind. He told me about the magic number nine and I found it fascinating. To me as a young child it had no relation to the maths I learned at school. What a magical math moment was missed there. I was an adult before I learned that there were many more magical numbers with which one could do mathematical tricks, etc. Eventually I had to take a course in accounting and to my surprise (being a hater of math from school days) I discovered that time flew by when I was working with numbers. I think this project—math, the Singapore way—sounds fabulous and makes me wish I could start all over again. I understand that Canadian teachers have special pro-

Chilliwack’s mid-century buildings: Why should we care if they survive?

here is a growing trend that celebrates all things “mid-century modern,” perhaps due to the popularity of the television show Mad Men or maybe just a longing for simpler times. The term not only covers architecture but also includes furniture, clothing and accessories. But what exactly is mid-century modern and why should we care about that period of history, especially in Chilliwack? While there are varying definitions as to when “mid-century” was, generally it is the period after the Second World War, so roughly 1945 to 1965. The end of the Second World War was a period of optimism and growth in Canada, and Chilliwack was no exception. This contributed to a steady rise in population and according to Statistics Canada, our nation underwent a sharp population increase from 1946 to 2006, growing from 12.3 to 32.6 million. These figures reflect large scale immigration that occurred in Canada after the Second World War. Many new residents arrived from Europe coupled with returning veterans that were starting families. Census Canada’s figures for Chilliwack indicate the population more than doubled in the 20-year period from 1931 to 1951 with an increase

LAURA REID Be Our Guest from 8,263 residents in 1931 to 19,340 in 1951. After the Second World War Canada’s economy was also on the upswing as exports of raw material increased and major infrastructure projects were undertaken including the Trans-Canada Highway transportation corridor in 1962. In addition, the St. Lawrence Seaway, a major engineering feat, was completed in 1959. With an increased pool of skilled workers contributing to the labour force and the advent of new technology, Canada’s economic future was strong. The positive growth post-WW2 also created a demand for new housing and civic buildings. Libraries, post offices, court houses, churches and schools were built as a result. In Chilliwack’s downtown core, Fire Hall #1, the Paramount Theatre, the library, (all c.1949) and the Courthouse (c.1952) are examples of public buildings that were built during this period. But why should we care about buildings that are only 50 or so years old? Heritage conservation has concentrated

on preserving buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries. Sure, these historic buildings are a symbol of our past and worth saving, however, many of Chilliwack’s buildings come from the post-WW2 era and represent a time of vitality and optimism in both our city and the country. These mid-century buildings are an important part of Chilliwack’s history and remain the least understood and perhaps the most vulnerable in our community. If we don’t take the time to understand the value of mid-century buildings and make efforts to preserve them, we risk erasing a layer of Chilliwack’s recent

Post office needs to improve its service Editor: It has been my experience, this year, of having no place to drop mail off at the Sardis post office at night. The doors are locked and I can see the outside post office box sitting inside. There is no excuse to lock it up inside. I have had to drive over to your (Mark Strahl) office to drop off your survey questionnaires and for other mail I have driven to the Chilliwack main post office to drop off mail in the two boxes sitting outside in a far more higher crime area than the

Sardis Post Office is at the north end of Canadian Tire, or else I have to drive over to the Cottonwood Mall and mail at the box outside by the northeast entrance doors. If that manager does not get the box outside the next time I go to mail I want him fired. I have a mailbox on the road at my address below but the mail person does not stop if there is no incoming mail. Other times my mail is under a recently delivered newspaper or advertising flyer so the mail person does not see it. Last time, after three days later, I took my outgoing mail at night to drop off at the post office on my way for supper. I am asking for you to look into this matter for me and teach that Sardis post office manager some respect towards the general public. That manager is supposed to give service to the very taxpayers and customers that generate the funds from which that manager’s paycheque comes. Gord Currie Chilliwack

Editor: Prime Minister Harper’s words “Canada is the best country in the world” repeated once again on Canada Day, still ring in my ears. I find the willful blindness almost breathtaking. Knowing how much inequality, poverty and racism exist in this country, shouldn’t we expect our leaders to be a little more forthright, a little less self-serving when they address the public? And talking about self-serving: A recently published RCMP report on the murder and disappearance of First Nations’ women states that “Aboriginal women are overwhelmingly killed by men they know.” It almost suggests that these victims are responsible for their own death due to the company they keep. This would be a very convenient way to have us forget the force’s appalling inaction in the Robert Pickton case, to name just one albeit the most shocking one. The Harper government has often reminded us that it stands on the side of victims. This would mean all victims, would it not? A large force such as the RCMP will have scores

Eight fires not the work of one arsonist BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

fire in a motel complex on Macken Avenue on July 3 was the eighth arson of 2015, all since April. But that doesn’t mean there is a firebug on the loose. { WOUNDED, from page A3 } consulted, only finding out about the cancellation via an email from Emmons after the board’s decision. In the message, Emmons stated that after the two-day gap in communication, “. . . the WWW Foundation can only ascertain that the question regarding our pending CRA number is an insurmountable challenge for all those concerned in Chilliwack.” The email goes on to explain that the the founder will inform Laurie Throness and Mark Strahl their $25,000 donation will be returned, and that the foundation itself is requesting the $25,000 of seed money it provided at the inception of the Chilliwack event. But the real challenge for the local committee will be figuring

“The fire department carefully reviews patterns that might indicate a serial arsonist and have found that no such pattern exists at this time,” Chilliwack Fire Department (CFD) assistant chief Mike Bourdon said. “This indicates that these fires are not related to one individual.”

Since April, deliberately set fires have hit houses on Gore Avenue, First Avenue, College Street, and Fourth Avenue. A Mary Street apartment fire was deliberately set, as was a fire in a garage on Fourth Avenue and a scrapyard building on Railway Avenue. During this extremely dry

weather, the CFD reminds people to be cautious and make sure ignition sources are kept at least one metre away from combustibles and smoking materials are disposed of in a safe manner. ◗ Anyone with information about any fire can call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Local PTSD sufferers upset by news of cancelation out what to do with the multitude of small donations from various fundraising events held over the past months. There’s no easy answer right now said Pitt-Payne, and that’s a main reason for the legal consulation. “It’s the rest of them that I’ve got to seek advice on,” he said. “The fellow that bought a hockey ticket thinking that he’s donating to a registered charity.” The Chilliwack group has frozen their local account until they figure out how best to handle the funds. “We just want to make sure we do the right thing and everybody that’s entitled to getting paid back gets paid back,” Pitt-Payne said.

Though disappointed, he also said the local organization is not insinuating that Emmons or the foundation has done anything with knowledge of deceit. Emmons has not replied to a request for comment from the Times. Another Chilliwack organizer Heather Carpenter was shocked and disappointed, and said the cancellation marks a sad day for all involved. “I know the men and women I have spoken to locally that suffer from PTSD are really upset that it was cancelled,” she said. “I would like to thank all the amazing people and businesses that stepped forward to try to make this an amazing weekend for

those men and women who are suffering.” The Wounded Warriors Weekend was first established in 2012 in Nipawin, Sask., when that city hosted 112 people from across North America suffering from physical wounds and the mental wounds of PTSD. The weekend included outdoor activities, food, entertainment and recognition for guests’ sacrifices in the line of duty. Wounded Warriors Weekend grew the following year and saw 23 veterans come from the United Kingdom and Australia to join the event in Nipawin. Last year, the small community of Slave Lake, Alta., hosted 197 participants for the foundation.

Huskers plan to go long with homegrown talent BY GREG LAYCHAK Chilliwack Times

his year’s Huskers’ players cleats hit the turf for the first time as a football team Saturday on their first day of main camp at a sweltering Exhibition Stadium. Head coach Adam Smith said the roster might still see a few tweaks before the season opener, but that the weekend camp fielded the Valley Huskers as they will, for the most part, be seen this year. Smith said the roster will settle in around 48 to 52 players (short of the maximum 55) before the season starts, allowing for some wiggle room for players who trickle into availability because they don’t get into a university program, or due to overflow from other teams in the league. L ocal numbers are higher than last year, according to Smith, who said that keeping players from Chilliwack and the Fraser Valley is definitely a focus of the team. Those numbers are only expected to rise now that a relationship is being fostered with the Giants midget coach Mike Derksen. “He’s got 19 kids who could come play here next year that are in their last year of Giants football,” Smith said. And among Smith’s numerous coaching obligations in the community he is head coach for G.W. Graham’s (GWG) junior varsity football squad, a team that has won two straight AA provincial championships under his direction. “Graham gets more guys graduating in the next year or two,” he said. “We want to keep the local guys here and just add a few guys to help them out.” Though Chilliwack loses Treyvon Walsh and Diego Pineda to universities this year, Smith expects to have GWG top running back Brett Westad on the team. With such a surge of local talent, the benefits are numerous according to Smith. “We’re a community funded team so if you could say to your community, ‘hey, of a roster of 50 [players], 30 of them are from Chilliwack,’ you’re giving back to your community instead of people maybe thinking when they’re going to donate, they’re donating to Winnipeg, Saskatchewan,

Alberta,” he said. It’s also a lot cheaper for the players who can save money if they choose to go to school or continue to work locally, possibly staying with family. That’s how it’s been for second-year linebacker James Sturgeon, “being able to play here, just to compete and being able to work too, and not leave town.” A former Chilliwack secondary student vying for a starting position this year, Sturgeon also said it helps the team bond better if members are already familiar with each other and the community. And of course the benefit to the Huskers’ training is a factor in drawing from the local pool. Players who are in or near Chilliwack can train all year together as a team. “Okanagan has players up there, 40 of them all year, so they train and they work out together and it

shows on the field,” Smith said. “Same with Langley, they’ve got more guys locally that stay out so they can work with them all year round.” In that situation, players can get used to their coaches and teammates which gives them a distinct advantage that can help them get to the next level, according to Smith. The Valley Huskers are so named because they consider Mission, Abbotsford and other nearby communities as local. Smith said they are working on developing relationships with those communities in addition to the ones in Chilliwack.

◗ Chilliwack’s Valley Huskers will host the Kamloops Broncos July 25 at 7 p.m. for their regular season opener at Exhibition Stadium. The complete regular season will be 10 games, with five home and five away.

here is the sight of fresh produce grown by Chilliwack vegetable farmers nearly spilling off tightly packed tables. The smell of mouth-watering pastries stacked in neat rows ready to package up. The sound of local musicians to put smiles on faces. Good feelings all around. The Downtown Chilliwack Farmers Market has it . . . at least it’s heading in that direction. “Every day at the market is a good day,” market manager Lisa Peach says. “We are always trying to encourage folks to come down and see all the local products available and support local people.” The Downtown Chilliwack Farmers Market is in its second year and has struggled a bit to be “as wonderful as it could be,” Peach admits. But the potential is there, and it’s only expanding. “Our market is great,” Peach says. “Our goal is to make it a medium sized ‘destination market’ within five years.” The market hosts between 10 and 15 vendors each week, including at least two who sell fresh produce (two sell only produce: Forstbauer Farms and Pristine Foods), there is fruit from the Okanagan, local pork (Verard Farms), baked goods, jams, and Peach, along with fellow market

manager Verna Hoogeveen, are always looking for other make-itbake-it-grow-it vendors to expand the Five Corners location. The Chilliwack market is one among the 125 across the province, all of whom are hoping to benefit

from a provincial Ministry of Agriculture push through the Buy Local program. The BC Association of Farmers’ Markets (BCAFM) is pushing residents to come out and support all B.C. farmers’ markets and has launched a social media contest in July, calling it “Meet My Market” month. “There’s no doubt that people in B.C. are passionate supporters of their local farmers’ markets,” Peach said. “With ‘Meet My Market

Month,’ we are encouraging our loyal visitors to introduce a friend to their market—and to show off the beautiful in season foods—and the great neighbourhood experience they love.” The B.C. government’s Buy Local program is providing $47,135 to the organization to promote local famers’ markets and increase sales. The “Meet My Market” campaign this month includes a contest to win a three-night getaway for two with wine touring to Sparkling Hill Resort in the Okanagan. Head to the Downtown Chilliwack Farmers Market, bring a friend and fill out a ballot. You can also enter via social media: Take a photo at the market and post it on social media tagging @bcfarmersmarket and add #MeetMyMarket. Or, you can enter at the BCAFM Facebook page. All entries are entered to win one of the two grand prizes to Sparkling Hill Resort. Social media entrants are also eligible to win one of five weekly random prize draws for $50 to spend at the farmers’ market of their choice. ◗ Visit the Downtown Chilliwack Farmers Market on Facebook or on the website www.thedowntown chilliwackfarmersmarket.com.

Here’s what some of you have been telling us you love about Chilliwack . . .

“I love the community in Chilliwack. Good neighbours, caring teachers at our kids’ school, fun and helpful coaches for energetic little kids, a wonderful church family, smiles on the street when you’re out for a walk. There are kind, considerate, great people all around Chilliwack and we are thankful to be a part of this community.”

“We loved celebrating Canada Day from 6,903 feet at the summit of Mt. Cheam, overlooking our beautiful city and enjoying the 10 p.m. fireworks! Thank you Chilliwack volunteers for organizing an amazing event that we could enjoy from afar!”

“We moved to Chilliwack 7 years ago. We enjoy the friendly and interesting city, and the fact that we are surrounded by thriving farming communities. We most of all enjoy our almost daily walk on the Vedder Rotary Trail. The Trail is a nature lovers delight.”

- Tracey Friesen

- Brad Hagkull

- Henry & Janine Krott

“First and foremost the people. Chilliwack people care about Chilliwack people. About 20 years ago I was a single father, feeling down and out, with only $100 in the bank, no job and caring for my 2-year-old boy. People I knew and people I did not know lent me a helping hand and enabled me to get back on my feet. Chilliwack is made of citizens who help each other and don’t turn their back on one of their own. Where else can you golf, kayak, fish and go snowmobiling in the same day? The icing on the cake would be the ability to look north, south, west and east and see incredible views. I am proud to have been born and raised in Chilliwack.”

The City of Chilliwack is implementing an automated billing system to invoice property owners for false alarms which will come into full effect in September 2015. What is a false alarm? A false alarm is the activation of an alarm system resulting in the attendance of the RCMP or the Fire Department at the property when there is no apparent or actual evidence to merit such a call. (See Bylaw No. 3747 for a full description.)

Why is the City implementing this bylaw? Starting in September 2015 the City will invoice property owners for false alarms in order to encourage people to reduce false alarms, which cause an unnecessary expense and take RCMP members or fire fighters away from real emergencies.

Thank you for taking steps today to ensure you minimize false alarms. Please visit chilliwack.com/falsealarm for more information. City of Chilliwack, 8550 Young Rd, Chilliwack, BC Canada V2P 8A4 | 604-792-9311

How can I avoid getting invoiced for a false alarm? Ensure that your security company calls you first in the event of an alarm.

If you go Murray McLauchlan: Oct. 24, 7:30 p.m. at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. For tickets call 604-391-7467.

An evening with Murray McLauchlan Musical icon plays Cultural Centre Oct. 24

urray McLauchlan is one of Canada’s most highly regarded singer/songwriters, and with good cause. Over a 40-year career, he has released 18 albums and been awarded 11 Junos. His songs “Farmer’s Song,” “Down by the Henry Moore,” “Whispering Rain” and “Sweeping the Spotlight Away” are now considered Canadian standards. Murray is also a painter, an author, an actor, a radio host; he’s been bestowed an Honourary Doctor of Laws and appointed to The Order of Canada. That’s quite a ride. Yet some may wonder where he’s been of late. Murray did tour in support of his 2012 critically acclaimed release Human Writes, but then decided to take a break. Other interests prevailed and he restricted his touring to shows with Lunch At Allen’s, the supergroup he co-founded, whose members also include Ian Thomas, Marc Jordan and Cindy Church. But now Murray is on the road in his own right once more. “As a songwriter I know that it’s not enough to sit in your kitchen and write,” he said. “Your songs need to be heard. Music is a communicative art and if it isn’t brought in front of people there is no way to tell if that end has been met. “I like to think of a concert tour as a kind of roving gallery to test your art and your ideas. I try to do my very best to make it worthwhile for folks to be there and to perhaps look at things in a new way when they leave.” And this, in a nutshell, is the Murray McLauchlan concert experience. ◗ Reserved seating tickets for the Oct. 24 An Evening in Concert with Murray McLauchlan are $42 to $46 (depending on facility fees and service charges, tax incl.), are on sale now and are available from the Chilliwack Cultural Centre Box Office by calling 604-391-7469.

Festival opens with blend of local and world talent

he 37th annual Harrison Festival of the Arts, running July 11 to 19 in beautiful Harrison Hot Springs, gets underway with an opening weekend featuring several world-class artists from the Lower Mainland as well as a diverse blend of international styles and performances. The nine-day celebration of world music and art begins at noon on Saturday, July 11 with a traditional welcome to the ancestral territory of the Sts’ailes people at the Festival’s lakefront Beach Stage. The traditional welcome will be followed immediately by a special performance from local pipe band, The Harrison Highlanders, celebrating their 10th year anniversary. A strong showing of hometown talent will continue on the Beach Stage with young Chilliwack group, The Curbside Trad Jazz Band, who have been making waves around the province with their classic New Orleans jazz. Another local connection will be with the cinematic folk band The Bombadils, with Chilliwack-raised powerhouse Anh Phung on flute and harmonica. The Beach Stage will also feature some music that is ideal for dancing in the forecasted sunshine. From Colombia, on both Saturday and Sunday, De Bruces A Mi, a seven-piece band will play their own soulful brand of sunny roots reggae. From Vancouver, Tanga is another large, exciting band with a funky, jazz infused Latin groove appearing Sunday at 5 p.m. on the Beach Stage. The Beach Stage program is further diversified with performances

by Vancouver’s Chinese string band Red Chamber and Eastern European harmony ensemble the Balkan Babes. Evenings in the Memorial Hall will feature a joyful performance on Saturday, July 11 from Montreal-based multi-national artists Ayrad, whose highly entertaining style fuses Morroccan pop-tinged songs with oboe, fiddle and even percussive dance. On Sunday, July 12, some familiar names will be appearing in the Hall with The High Bar Gang, which includes popular singer songwriters Barney Bentall and Shari Ulrich in a project that focuses on classic bluegrass and brings together with some of the lower mainland’s finest studio and side musicians. The Festival’s weekend workshops and waterfront Art Market also have a strong local connection. Saturday workshops in the Memorial Hall include the very popular Aboriginal Drum Making with Sts’ailes artist Darren Charlie and participatory song workshop with Chilliwack Folk Song Circle. Sunday workshops include acappella with the Balkan Babes and AfroCuban rhythms and dance with Latin fusion group Tanga. A staple feature of the Festival for more than 25 years, the juried art market features more than 50 plus vendors from as far away as the Okanagan with a strong showing from the local Fraser Valley including Chilliwack, Abbotsford and Mission. ◗ Complete lineup and tickets for the 37th annual Harrison Festival of the Art are available online at www.harrisonfestival. com, or by phone at 604-796-3664.

› Cover Story { KELLY, from page A1 }

Who killed Kelly? Conventional wisdom on the street is that a wellknown local drug dealer is responsible, directly or indirectly, for Rideout’s death. Another local unsolved murder is that of Deano Paus whose body was found. His family believes the same man who killed Kelly, killed Deano. A spokesperson for the RCMP’s Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) said there is an active and ongoing investigation into Kelly’s disappearance. Police need witnesses to come forward, which is a challenge in the tight-knit, fear-fuelled, drug-addled underworld. “There are people out there that know what happened to Kelly,” Ashton told the Times. “Know the details of it, know the circumstances of it, and they’ve never spoken to police. If they really want to help the family, the best thing they could do is come forward and tell us what they know.” But Kelly’s mother is past worrying about who killed her, even how she died. “I don’t care who it is anymore,” Dignard said. “He’ll meet his maker. I just want to know where she is—where she is so we can put her somewhere so the kids have peace.” Earlier this year, the Times spoke with Bev Paus, Deano’s mother, who has some bad news for Dignard when it comes to closure. Deano’s body was found in February 2011, by a hiker in the woods between Agassiz and Hope. “Oh you never get over it and there is no such thing as closure,” Bev said. Searching on As happens with most older homicide investigations, as the years wear on, tips become more rare, contact with investigators less frequent, and frustration sets in. “For a long time we have been trying to get the police to do something,” Kylee says. “They don’t seem to be doing anything about it.”

Friends and family of Kelly Rideout search the bushes behind the Chilliwack Motor Inn for her remains last Saturday. if we could go in with a backhoe to take [the blackberry bushes] out, but they said ‘no,’” Kylee said. Whomever they spoke with also didn’t want anything to do with the search and “barely looked at Kelly’s picture.” Three months ago when she was also in

The search at the Chilliwack Motor Inn on Saturday was challenging not only because of the impenetrable blackberry bushes, according to Kylee, but also because of the lack of support from the motel ownership. “We asked the owner

Duane sent a message to IHIT on Monday to see if one or two officers could join them in their search for Rideout’s body, but they never heard back. “It’s kind of frustrating that we are not getting any support from the police,” Kylee said.

town, Dignard asked the motel to put a missing picture of Kelly in the window. When they visited on Saturday it was nowhere to be seen. For the second day of searching this past Sunday the group went to an area near the Cheam Reserve by the Agassiz-Rosedale Bridge. A number of tips have suggested this is where her body was dumped. They found a partially buried car and dug around it. They even found a bone and thought maybe it was the small bone from an arm. They called police but were informed what they had was a bone from an eagle or another large bird. An unpleasant search

continued under the bridge as they came across more bones of dead animals, deer and sheep, whole chickens, needles and other “gross” stuff. The group plans to continue searching this weekend even though they don’t really know where to look, even though the search seems beyond impossible. They may be looking for a needle in a haystack, but Kelly Rideout’s body has to be somewhere. So if they look, however randomly, there is still some chance no matter how remote it is. “There is a chance so why not take that chance?” Kylee asks. “We aren’t giving up.”

Without knowing too many of the details, Dignard is certain Kelly was abused as a child alongside her step-sisters. By the age of 12 or 13 Kelly started running away. By 14, Dignard wanted her daughter back in her life, and Kelly wanted to be back with her birth mother. “When I got my daughter back, she was a mess,” Dignard said. “I got her counselling but Kelly didn’t stick to it. She wouldn’t really talk about her past.” Kelly never properly dealt with her past and, like so many young women in that position, was introduced to drugs, substances that helped temporarily stop the pain. “She said ‘it numbs me,’” Dignard said of the crystal meth Kelly became addicted to. Co-dependent on both men and drugs, Kelly’s troubles in her teens and early 20s continued, having five children in all. She has a 21-year-old daughter who is in Saskatchewan, a 17-year-old girl who is in Nova Scotia and a 15-yearold son in Nova Scotia. Then there is Brooklyn Stamper who is 12 and is in Nova Scotia. And then there is Alyssa who lives with Duane and Kylee Stamper in Agassiz. On a visit to the home, Alyssa is bright-eyed and playful, friendly and talkative to the stranger coming to chat with Kylee and her grandmother. But beneath the cheerful, childish exterior is the soul of a young girl in anguish, wondering what happened to her mom and where she is. “That is definitely the hard part,” Kylee explains. “Alyssa is beside herself, all the time. We have her in counselling. She’s got so much hurt and anger.” Does the young girl understand? “She doesn’t understand, that’s the problem,” Kylee says. “There is nothing that actually says that this is where her mom is. She has buried pets but she has not been able to do that with her mother, so constantly, in the back of her mind, she is hoping that she is still out there. “It causes her so much pain and turmoil.” And so the family goes on. They cannot give up. If not for Duane and Kylee and the other friends themselves, if not for Kelly’s desperate mother, none of them feel they can give up searching because of Alyssa. In May 2011, Dignard spoke to her daughter for the last time. Kelly faced criminal charges for identity theft and fraudulently using credit cards. The

case is still listed on Court Services Online with a warrant issued for Kelly. She was scheduled to go to trial in May 2012. But back in May 2011, Dignard said Kelly had a court date to come to after which she planned to straighten out. “She told me she hated the drug life, but she knew too much. . . . And she told Alyssa she was going to come back to her. Alyssa remembers that.” “She walks around with that every day,” Kylee adds.

There’s no quit in ‘Iron’ officer A

fter Cpl. Deb Drozda of the Chilliwack RCMP was severely injured on the job, doctors told her she would never run again. Refusing to accept the diagnosis, she embarked on a demanding two-year exercise regiment that ended with a determined finishing Hawaii’s iconic Ironman 70.3 competition over a month ago. It was back in 2002 when the work incident occurred, forcing Drozda to undergo several medical procedures. But despite their best efforts doctors

told Drozda to come to terms with her injuries. Under the direction of a personal strengthening coach, the 18-year police veteran rebuilt her body until she found herself standing with a starting group of the Hawaii Ironman in Kona at the end of May. “I had the support of my husband and family who knew what I have been through and how difficult even the training has been at times” said Drozda. The gruelling race ahead of her

involved a two-kilometre ocean swim, followed by a 90-kilometre cycle, which led into the final 21-kilometre run—all performed across lava fields in 35 C heat. “It is phenomenal how Cpl. Drozda looks after herself and brings that healthy lifestyle back to her fellow officers who in turn return that energy to their homes and communities,” said Superintendent Deanne Burleigh. Back on patrol in Chilliwack, Drozda has proven that quitting was never an option.

Our mother Irene Robotham (nee Rushton) was received into the arms of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on July 4, 2015. Mum was born December 16, 1925 in Manchester, England. In her younger years, mum was proud to be a part of building the Lancaster Bombers in WW II. She moved to Canada in 1944 as a war bride. Mum loved all her family and truly missed her home country of England. She loved to share about Jesus Christ and read the Bible. Irene is survived by her children Donna, Richard (Nancy), Julie (Fred), Danny (Cindy), Eleven grandchildren, Twenty two great grandchildren, One great great grandson and Two nieces and Five nephews. Mum was predeceased by her parents James and Gertrude , her sisters Rita, May, Katherine, and Marjorie, her granddaughter Laura and great grandson Adrien. We sincerely appreciate the love and care given to our mother in the last years of her life by the staff at Gateway Assisted Living in Surrey B.C.
