Buyers eyeing up old UFV

Killer won’t be labelled dangerous offender

North campus could be home to Christian school and residential development

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

BC Supreme Court justice declined to hand a dangerous offender designation last Thursday to a deaf man with an extensive violent criminal past, which culminated in the killing of a transgendered person in Chilliwack five years ago. Steven Frederickson was, however, handed a long-term offender designation of the maximum length of 10 years in addition to a 10-year prison sentence for the 2010 manslaughter conviction of his then roommate, Robert-Jan Planje. In October 2013, EB IRST Frederickson was First reported on acquitted of the chilliwacktimes.com s e c o n d - d e g re e murder of Planje at the Ashwell Road mobile home the two men shared. The night before Planje’s death, Frederickson said the two spent the evening drinking wine, with Planje smoking marijuana while he smoked crack cocaine. Frederickson said he woke up the next day in his underwear in Planje’s bed, and he claimed he had been sexually assaulted. At trial, Grist found the defence unbelievable since Frederickson is a large man and the 64-year-old Planje was a thin, five-foot-two-inch transgendered individual with female genitalia. A neighbour witnessed Frederickson later drag what looked to be a wrapped body out to Planje’s car.

The teen victim of a violent sexual assault finds the courage to speak to reporter Paul J. Henderson about the aftermath Bar on the Fraser River in Chilliwack, she wants to tell her story. “I want my voice heard,” she said. “I think it’s important for people to understand that it can happen to anyone.” K.W. has struggled with suicidal thoughts, depression and night terrors. She’s been on anti-psychotic medication and still needs sleeping pills. And the court process added only further trauma as she was cross-examined by Leger’s lawyer in a way that made her feel blamed. Still, she bravely agreed to testify in open court during the trial, and read her own victim impact state-

“Exhausting.” That’s how a local teenage rape victim described her feeling after dozens of court appearances over more than four years leading up to her assailant’s sentencing. “It’s just been exhausting,” K.W. said immediately outside the BC Supreme Court room in Chilliwack last Friday after the sentencing of 47-year-old Gilles Leger. But despite the torment that nearly tore her family apart, suicidal thoughts, lack of sleep, estrangement from her friends, even bullying at school, the victim of the Oct. 1, 2011 rape that took place on the back of an ATV at Gill

ment to the court at sentencing. “I read it, and as hard as it was, it was very empowering,” she said. K.W. wants other victims of sexual assault and rape to come forward and be brave in the face of a system that seems stacked against them. She said she plans to pursue a career in counselling or victim services. “My door is open and I can’t turn a blind eye because I know what it’s like. I don’t think that it gets better but you can get better.” (Incidentally, K.W. wanted not only to have her story told, but to

Money still needs to be raised and some rezoning is in order but two buyers have eyed up two different portions of the 27-acre property, one for a residential development and the other a Christian school. The buildings at the former Yale Road university property are not completely vacant as one still houses the UFV theatre, and space is rented out to the Chilliwack School of Performing Arts and the Sto:lo culinary arts program. But most UFV staff, students and faculty moved into the new building at Canada Education Park in September 2012 and the north-side property has been for sale ever since. “UFV has been actively marketing the Chilliwack north property over the last few years,” campus planning and resource development director Craig Toews said. “The economy hasn’t been the greatest but the university has been hearing and meeting with

Film time C for famous tiny toads

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

Ryder Lake’s fragile road warriors subject of new documentary

hilliwack’s tiny toads that have received so much attention over the years will soon be movie stars. Each year as thousands of tiny at-risk Western Toads and Red Legged Tree Frogs emerge from the wetlands of Ryder Lake to journey into the woods, they are faced with a ring of pavement. In some years the roads are black with the sight of amphibians the size of a thumbnail as they navigate the blacktop, many not making it, crushed under the wheels of vehicles. Last summer, the Fraser Valley Conservancy (FVC) completed a toad tunnel to help the little ones make it to the forest. This Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. the FVC is calling for amphibian fencing volunteers to help install directional fencing to guide the toads to safety. The story of the toads and their peril at the hands of vehicle drivers is an oft-told one, but the response, the volunteers, the tunnel construction and the effort to protect the species is representative of the

{ UFV, from page A1 } many interested realtors, investors and developers over the years.” Of the 27 acres, the back 13 acres was always proposed as a mixed density residential community, and Toews said Chilliwack developer Van Maren Group is working through due diligence at this point. The other buyer of a five-acre portion along Yale Road that includes the former health sciences building is Cascade Christian School, a private school currently housed on Brooks Avenue at the Salvation Army Church property. Dr. Joshua Greggain is chair of the board of Cascade Christian School and he said their ambitious goal is to raise enough money from within the school community to purchase the property and building that could be renovated to hold more than 200 students.

“We are getting to the place where the space becomes a limiting factor and so we want to be sure we were given an opportunity to grow our school community. - Dr. Joshua Greggain Formerly MEI, Cascade Christian started in 2010 with 65 students and is now up to 106, which is pushing the limits of their current location. “We are getting to the place where the space becomes a limiting factor and so we want to be sure we were given an opportunity

to grow our school community,” Greggain said Tuesday. The purchase price of $2.5 million is bareland pricing, something that appeals to the private school’s board as the 23-year-old, 20,000-square-foot structure, which already served as a school, comes essentially at no additional cost. Toews explained the bareland pricing was set for the property since most developers will be demolishing, so that saves UFV the cost of demolition. Cascade Christian has the goal of raising enough from the parents and grandparents and other collaborators to buy the property, renovate and be operational for the start of the 2016/2017 school year. Few details have been made public about the residential development, but if all goes according to plan, Toews said a sale is expected by the summer.

Demand stripping housing supply

espite years of residential development in Chilliwack, supply is not keeping up with demand as real estate listings are at the lowest rate in a decade. And that scarcity of homes on the market is helping to drive up prices. With just 926 homes listed as of Feb. 1, that’s a 27 per cent decline over 2015, a 35 per cent decline over 2014 and a 36 over the last decade’s peak of listings for this time of year of 1,454 in 2012. { PLANJE, from page A1 }

After a trial, Justice William Grist found reasonable doubt in the Crown’s assertion there was enough intent for second-degree murder, but he found the then 47-year-old Frederickson guilty of manslaughter. Frederickson, a crack addict, killed Planje in a violent and protracted incident that saw the small man covered in bruises, defensive wounds, and his body later dumped in a remote location near Hope. The dangerous offender designation is handed down after three designated violent or sexual offences, and leads to an indefinite sentence and is, as Grist put it, meant for a small group of offenders. While a terrible crime worthy of a lengthy prison term, Grist agreed with defence lawyer Ken Beatch in finding the assault not to be “at the

CADREB reports the average January to January comparable median price of a single family home in Chilliwack is up 10.4 per cent in Chilliwack, 20.9 per cent in Sardis, and 34.3 per cent in Hope. Townhomes and apartments are also up in all areas. Despite the low inventory, sales continue to run hot as 178 homes were sold in January, up from 134 in the same month last year. Of those, 101 were single family homes, 47 townhomes, 21 apartments, six acreages, and three in the category of “other.”

The typical number of homes on the market this time of year in the Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board (CADREB) area— which includes Chilliwack, Agassiz, Hope, Boston Bar and Harrison Hot Springs—is about 1,300 homes. “We remain a bit puzzled about the low inventory of homes on the local market,” said outgoing CADREB president Travis Heppner. “While interest rates have nudged up a bit, they remain historically low, making it a perfect environment for buying a first home, moving up or even building your dream home.”

Given long-term offender status beating death of Planje. While Grist declined to hand Frederickson the dangerous offender designation, he did agree to a 10-year long-term offender status designation, which amounts to a decade of court-ordered supervision after he is released from custody on the manslaughter charge. Before sentencing on Feb. 5, Frederickson had been in custody for five years. The courts have the leeway to give between one and one-and-a-half times credit for time in pre-disposition custody. Grist gave Frederickson one-to-1.25 credit, meaning his five years is equal to six years, three months. So he has three years, nine months remaining until the beginning of his 10 years under long-term supervision in the community.

extreme end” of criminal behaviour and rejected the Crown’s application for dangerous offender status. The two other offences the Crown relied upon, in addition to the killing of Planje, was a violent stabbing of a young prostitute in 1987, and an unlawful confinement of a woman and her children in 1995. The dangerous offender designation requires the Crown to prove the offences constituted a pattern of behaviour. Not only did the incidents take place over 23 years, but Grist agreed with Beatch regarding the differences in the crimes: In 1987, Frederickson used a knife to stab the young female prostitute, in 1995 there were no injuries in the unlawful confinement, and in 2010 there was no weapon used in the

We applaud her courage, bravery

◗ Publisher

he criminal justice system in Canada is, in many respects, precisely that: a justice system for criminals. After convictions, and at sentencing, the court is fed sob stories about upbringing and circumstances and excuse after excuse. Which is why we hear so much frustration from those victims of graffiti, theft, identity theft, assault, rape and other crimes. Judges need to weigh the principles of deterrence and denunciation along with rehabilitation in sentencing, while adhering to precedents, gross diversions from which will only lead to appeals. Victims of crime are often a sideline in the sentencing hearing; most don’t even attend for whatever reason. Which is why the rape victim in our page one story this week is such a role model, an example, a vision of courage and bravery not just against a violent rapist who never admitted his grievous crime and breach of trust, but against a system stacked against her. She was ravaged by a man she trusted. She was suicidal, depressed, angry, hateful, confused. Yet after all the court appearances, she may be imperfect, but is resilient, stoic, mature and thoughtful about what it all means. The rest of us who can’t imagine what she’s endured can only wonder at her courage and bravery.

Real change requires a referendum

ustin Trudeau and his newly elected Liberal government are proposing the most fundamental change to our electoral system since Confederation. What’s more, they seem intent on doing it without getting the consent of Canadians through a binding national referendum. They should reconsider. Currently, Members of Parliament are elected through a system called “First Past the Post” (FPTP). In this system, the candidate with the most votes in each riding wins, regardless of the percentage of the vote they receive. This system has served as the method by which Canadians have elected their representatives in the House of Commons since Confederation. Critics of the current system say that it can allow a party to win a majority of seats, and therefore a majority government, without winning a majority of the votes in the country. They also argue that it tends to penalize smaller parties who may have broad, but not deep, support across the country. They believe

MP MARK STRAHL Be Our Guest electoral systems like mixed member proportional representation, or single transferrable voting are better options for electing MPs. Supporters of FPTP, on the other hand, argue that the current system is easy to understand, and provides political and economic stability for Canadians. They point out that transferring power from one party to another happens routinely and efficiently under FPTP, and that Canada has become one of the most respected countries in the world under the current system. In short, they say if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. In other words, people will argue there are advantages and disadvantages to every electoral system, but that is beside the point. No matter what system is proposed, it is Canadians, not the party in power, who must

authorize a change of this nature. With their recent election win, the Liberals have certainly earned the right to propose electoral changes, but they have not earned the right to unilaterally impose those changes on Canadians without their expressed consent. Recent Canadian precedent backs this up: proposed changes to the electoral systems in B.C., Ontario, and PEI were all put to the people for a decision. It’s fundamental that all Canadians have a direct say in how they elect their representatives. Here in B.C., alternatives to our voting system have been proposed twice in the recent past. In both cases, in 2005 and again in 2009, B.C. held a referendum. In 2009, when given a clear choice between FPTP and the Single Transferable Vote, the people in the Chilliwack and Chilliwack-Hope ridings voted overwhelming in favour of FPTP with 68 per cent of the vote. The government of the day empowered the voters and were bound by their choice. The people spoke and the government listened. That is as it should be.

Who knows? Perhaps the people of Chilliwack and Hope have changed their minds, and seven years later think differently and are eager to embrace a new electoral system. There’s only one way to find out. Justin Trudeau and his Liberals currently control the levers of power in Ottawa, but no matter what Party is in power, the people of Canada should always have control of our electoral system. Any systemic changes should be presented to all Canadians for consideration, and those changes must be ratified—or rejected—by the Canadian people through a binding national referendum. If you believe that the Canadian people, not politicians, should have the final say on our electoral system, please make your voice heard by signing and sharing the petition on my website, www.markstrahl.com, or by contacting my office for a paper copy. ◗ Mark Strahl is the Conservative Member of Parliament for Chilliwack—Hope.

Would be a shame to shut down Harvest Editor: Re: Regrets regarding Local Harvest shut down. The initiative of this local business, that is ordered to shut down, has been visionary and practical—the idea to provide healthy local produce at reasonable costs in a welcoming setting promoting healthy eating, farming and tourism. Monopoly grocery chains survive with little of these ideals, in my humble opinion, so I feel saddened that they will be shut down—it is a loss to Chilliwack. I don’t know all the reasons this decision was made and don’t know if there are plans for a roundabout change at the Lickman intersection that their business would interfere with. I do know that there are other old barns that have had restructuring and still exist. I understand that bylaws should be enforced in general, although it has taken three years for me to see better enforcement of bylaws with regards to a so-called light industrial site. I have sympathy for the difficulty of governance and government department structures at all levels. However, at a human level, this situation remains sad and make no mistake, jobs will be lost and initiatives lost because of it. For those who have not visited the site, let me describe it.

to a homeowner moving their fence onto city property, to increase the size of their concrete RV pad. The city has confirmed in writing that it has no record of receiving a request for the fence and concrete RV pad encroaching onto city property. The city have not taken any action on this encroachment, no spanking. Therefore, no additional property taxes are being paid. Another homeowner, in the same area, made a request to the city to move their fence. The city responded by asking this homeowner to provide a complete application form, the necessary plans, drawing and a $400 non-refundable application fee. What? There is also an annual long-term encroachment fee of $100. Why would any home owner do this? The fence was never moved.

It showed a gradual increase from an average of $20 per month when I had four dependents living in my household, to an average of $50 per month when only my wife and I were residing in the house, and the only time was there a bill anywhere near $294 was on March 4, 2014. Similar to Gail Cross, no one up the ladder of BC Hydro could explain why I was charged $294 instead of the usual $50. On May 11, 2015, Jerry (1-866-355-6766) said he would have a manager who had the power to correct this error phone me. This manager never phoned. On June 4, 2015, a Cheryl phoned me and said that the “Regional Reviewer,” a Mr. Richie Sandu, would phone me on June 9, 2015 between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Mr. Richie Sandu never phoned. So the BC Hydro stone-walling has continued to this very day, of Ms. Gail Cross’ situation. Bryan Stephenson Chilliwack

The man, and two others in the other truck, suffered non-life-threatening injuries. The incident is still under investigation.

If only my partner would change BY VERN TOMPKE Vineyard Church

think it was a John Grisham novel where I first came across the following quote relating to men and women: “A women marries a man thinking he will change and he doesn’t; a man marries a woman thinking she won’t change and she does.” After close to 30 years of marriage, I have come to realize that we are still deeply different people and it doesn’t appear to be changing anytime soon. Because of this, one of the most helpful things that we have learned in teaching marriage courses for the last 15 years is a concept known as “Perpetual Differences.” The concept explains that every married couple faces deep internal things that make them different from their partner. These differences are based on deep-seated internal realities like personality, upbringing, and the way one is “wired.” One could be thrifty while the other is “free-er” with their money; one likes to recharge with

Dan Wile, in a book called After the Honeymoon says that “when choosing a lifelong partner . . . you will

You know you are approaching gridlock when you are consumed with the thought that “if only my partner would change, we could clear this problem up.”

differences. There is good news, however. Just like every smart parent learns to work and adapt to the differences (some stark) between their children, so smart couples learn to adapt and work with the differences between themselves. What I am trying to say is that for you and your spouse, perpetual differences don’t need to lead to irreconcilable differences. This Valentine season, consider taking a marriage course. Trust me, the benefits will last much longer than flowers do in a vase. There are often great courses that are being offered by various groups in Chilliwack. Susan and myself are leading a six-week course starting on Feb. 18 if you are interested in exploring this or many other great topics related to experiencing a happier and more fulfilling marriage. So, for you and your spouse, Vive les differences!

Big weekend has Chief’s captain smiling Kawaguchi lights up the score board while club keeps winning BY GREG LAYCHAK glaychak@chilliwactimes.com

ordan Kawaguchi has much to celebrate after the holiday weekend. In two games, the Chilliwack Chiefs forward and team captain had five goals and three assists, with four of those goals notched during Monday’s 5-2 victory in Langley. But first stop in the Chiefs’ Mainland division tour was in Coquitlam on Friday where Kawaguchi’s teammate Vimal Sukumaran brandished a hat trick of his own. All three of those came in sequence after fellow Chief Jake Smith’s opener before a minute had ticked by on the game clock at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre. It wasn’t until 3:30 in the third frame, with Chilliwack up 7-0, that the Express were able to score on Chiefs goaltender Aidan Pelino who warded off 18 of 19 Coquitlam shots in total. But both Taylor Allan and Kohen Olischefski continued the offensive barrage with goals of their own to

hammer a definitive 9-1 final score into the host’s record. With two days rest, the Chiefs went to the Langley Events Centre on Family Day to take on their other Mainland cousins. In similar fashion to Sukumaran’s performance the previous game, Kawaguchi scored three-in-a-row after Darien Craighead beat Langley goalie Bo Didur at 90 seconds into the game. Riverman Zac Masson answered Kawaguchi’s hat trick with two Langley goals in the third period to make it a 4-2 game, but it was the closest Langley would come to the division leaders. Kawaguchi put his fourth puck in Langley’s empty net with just over a minute left. Pelino took his second win of the weekend, stopping 20 of 21 shots on Monday. ◗ The Chiefs continue their fivegame away series on the island this weekend with games in Powell River Friday at 7:15 p.m. and Cowichan Valley Saturday at 7 p.m.

Chiefs bid for Canada’s National Jr. A Championships BY GREG LAYCHAK glaychak@chilliwacktimes.com

hilliwack has the team, it has the facilities and it has the hockey fan base. And if all goes according to plan, this city could host the RBC Cup for the first time in 2018. A committee with members from Tourism Chilliwack, the Chilliwack Chiefs hockey team, Chief David Jimmie, Ken Popove, and hoteliers held its first meeting to begin the process of putting a bid together to try to win hosting rights for Canada’s National

Junior A Championship. “It’s fun, we’ve got a good group so far,” said Scott Beare, Tourism Chilliwack’s business development co-ordinator—also in charge of sports initiatives. “So we’ve just laid out the groundwork and we’re off to the races.” As far as building a team, that groundwork is almost complete but next the committee is courting an accountant so they can start crunching the numbers. Beare said there are a number of factors that are working in favour of a Chilliwack shot at the Hockey Can-

ada event. First of all, Chilliwack has the BCHL’s blessings, the league having sent an email to Hockey Canada noting the city as the province’s choice for 2018. The Chiefs boast the highest attendance in the BCHL most years, and the team has been stronger than ever in the past two seasons. Then there’s the location, great both for practical and aesthetic reasons. But there’s also Beare’s vision itself. The newcomer from Calgary has made it his mission to get Chilliwack out there on Canada’s sports map as

a destination. Tourism Chilliwack has secured the city as host to the Swiss women’s hockey team this March for their training camp in preparation for the 2016 IIHF Ice Hockey Women’s World Championship to be held in Kamloops. And he’ll attend the Canadian Sport Tourism Alliance (CSTA) conference next month to rub elbows with sports leaders. None of this can hurt Chilliwack’s chances to bring the RBC Cup and all the players, families, fans and scouts it will attract from around

Canada to the city. The benefits would be promotional as well as economic. “Chilliwack is going to be on the sportscasters’ lips for a week,” Beare said. “And I know when the national media comes here they’re going to love the city.” ◗ The host organizing committee is due to meet again Feb. 18, and the bid submission deadline is March 18. This year the RBC Cup will be hosted by the Lloydminster Bobcats of Lloydminster, Alta. followed by a 2017 appearance in Cobourg, Ont. by the Cougars.

A NIGHT TO FORGET Before October 2014, K.W. was popular in school, fun-loving, she got good grades and played soccer five times a week. “I was so happy,” she said. The then 15-year-old was exactly what any parent would hope their teenaged child would be. Then came along a camping trip at Gill Bar on the Fraser River shattering everything when the step-father of her best friend turned on her. “The [K] I once was, died that night,” she told the court in a victim impact statement on Jan. 29. What exactly happened that night was the subject of some uncertainty in court, because both Leger and K.W. were intoxicated. K.W., Leger and his step-daughter got to Gill Bar to ride ATVs and camp with a number of other people. Leger’s wife was scheduled to meet them the next day. Leger drank beer, and the two girls drank Palm Bay coolers he had purchased for them. They sat around a large campfire, and at one point K.W. went with Leger for an ATV ride. It was during that time that Leger got her into the back of the ATV, and violently raped the 15-year-old, something he claims not to remember at all. Back at the campsite, K.W. said her best friend immediately knew something was wrong. “My eyes were huge. I was in a

tionship that ended acrimoniously. “He too has suffered.” Michaels also suggested to the court that since Leger blacked out that night, something that has never happened before, it is a “reasonable possibility” that someone spiked his drink. A ridiculous suggestion to K.W. Michaels went further and attempted to claim that his drunkenness could be a form of mitigating circumstance because intoxica-

tenced him to three years in jail, gave a no-contact order and ordered him placed on the sex offender registry for 20 years. Immediately after the sentencing, K.W. and her parents met with the Crown who explained an element of criminal justice that some victims are not aware of. Namely, a prison sentence is never what it appears to be because of what is known as “statutory release.” Unlike parole, which is a discretionary type of release, statutory release is built into the system and means that except in extreme cases, offenders are released after serving two thirds of the time handed to them by the courts. “It’s just very disappointing,” K.W. said outside. After thinking about the sentence for a day, she reiterated that she is not OK with the length, and the statutory release bothers her. “I think it sends a message to victims that no matter how hard we try in getting a sentence, in wanting ‘justice,’ it won’t even be served.” As for getting back to “normal,” K.W. doesn’t think that’s possible but she is moving forward with an urge to help other victims. She said she wanted her real name used because she is not ashamed of what happened to her. “I want people to know I have gone through this, but have survived this nightmare,” she said. “I want other victims to not be ashamed either, so I hope this could pose as an example. Shame and stigma is a large piece in sexual assault, maybe even a reason why people don’t report it. And if people work together and not express shame, then I think it will help.”

he Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce celebrated the excellence of our local businesses at the 21st Annual Business Excellence Awards “Rat Pack in the Wack Gala” held at Tzeachten Hall Jan. 23. It was a packed house with 360 people in attendance. The nomination process for the awards started in September and was judged by a panel of five independent judges. These judges had the difficult task of choosing the winners, and even though there can only be one winner in each of the 18 categories, every nominee is a winner for being honoured as someone displaying excellence in their field. As we had to turn away some of the nominees because we were sold out quite early, the chamber is looking at a larger venue for next year to make sure we can accommodate all the nominees and their colleagues, family and friends. The Players Guild, in the finest Rat Pack attire, ushered everyone to their tables and the live talent of The Lefties was enjoyed throughout the reception and dinner. The reception was enjoyed with a variety of wines to taste from three local wineries. Before the official part of the evening started, emcees, President Kirk Dzaman and Past President Kevin Gemmell, sang to Mayor Sharon Gaetz and council member Sam Waddington about the traffic situation; ‘you made me sit on Young’. Jordan Forsyth from Baker Newby entered with a briefcase attached to his arm with handcuffs containing all the winners. After the briefcase was opened the ceremony could begin. The live auction was led by auctioneer Howard Blank who auctioned off some great items. The Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce is very grateful for the overwhelming support in honouring the excellence of our business community.

Immigrant employment data to be captured by local survey completed last year that looked at the challenges immigrants face and how connected they are to the Chilliwack community. Results from that research reflected a definite link between issues such as social isolation and language and health barriers and their economic participation in the community. Credentials and the ability to secure work placements and navigate the Canadian workplace all have impact on how successfully immigrants become settled and integrate into the country. The research project is a partnership of Chilliwack Community Services and University of the Fraser Valley. Results will be highlighted at a Chilliwack Newcomer Connections public forum in March. Funding for the project is being provided by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. ◗ For more information contact April Neave, director, Immigrant and Senior Services at neavea@comserv.bc.ca, 604393-3251 ext. 237.

survey has been launched to capture information on how immigrants are participating in the Chilliwack economy. In the survey, businesses are asked to respond to a variety of questions about how they recruit, train and retain immigrants, and how many they employ. An analysis of the survey results will help focus energies on developing a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing local employers through their recruitment and hiring process. The goal will be to develop a set of recommendations to enhance the employment opportunities for newcomers and the experiences of both employers and newcomers. The survey has been in the planning stages for some months but with the demographics of Chilliwack becoming more diverse, and inclusive of Syrian refugees, its importance has become even more relevant. This project builds on research

No Tweed Too Tight is thrilling, fast and hilariously offensive

yon wrote No Tweed Too Tight himself” Ryan says. “He’s so fully-formed as a character (in spite of us as writers), and has such a strong comic voice that the show just kind of came flowing out of us.” And Canyon’s larger-than-life personality doesn’t just make for easy writing—it makes No Tweed Too Tight a complete riot. With a main character that falls somewhere between a detective-extraordinaire and a self-destructive whirlwind of whisky, womanizing, and bewilderment, the show is riddled with side-splitting gags, unforgettable one-liners and more than a few self-inflicted plotholes. “His personality gives the show such a fun concept,” Ryan said. “Each scene begins with Canyon coming back to consciousness and having to figure out why he’s getting buried alive, or on an airplane with no pilots, or inside an anaconda. And right when he starts connecting the dots, he gets hit on the head and passes out, or drinks himself to oblivion. It makes for some pretty ridiculously hilarious situations.” And being produced by Monster Theatre—the company that brought the fantastic Til Death - The Six Wives of Henry VIII, Who Killed Gertrude Crump, and The Shakespeare Show to The Centre in previous seasons—you know

Fashionably funny n all-out assault of side-splitting comedy, exhilarating action, and outrageous entertainment will hit the stage at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on Feb.19 and 20, when the award-winning Monster Theatre returns with No Tweed Too Tight. Fast, thrilling, and hilariously offensive, No Tweed Too Tight has been a riotous sensation across the Canadian fringe scene, and after sell-out runs in Vancouver, Edmonton, and Winnipeg, this explosion of tweed-clad adrenaline has its sights set on Chilliwack. No Tweed Too Tight follows the exploits of Grant Canyon, a perpetually inebriated, one-liner dropping insurance investigator that’s out to break hearts and split sides. From Des Moines, to Brazil, to outer-space, Canyon leaves a trail of snapped necks and empty bottles in his wake in his mission to discover what exactly is going on . . . and what the hell happened last night. Canyon fuses all the style, (un) sophistication and bad facial hair of iconic ’70s detectives with a serious drinking habit to produce an uproarious riot of mystery-filled mayhem, and, as co-writer Ryan Gladstone reveals, the show’s ensuing carnage seems to be mostly of his own creation. “I honestly feel like Grant Can-

OBITUARIES

of Cultus Lake, BC. Feb. 18, 1933 - Feb. 01, 2016

OBITUARIES

Rene Gratton Joseph Wilfred Rene Gratton was born in Verdun, Quebec, on September 19th, 1953. Rene was the eldest child of six and has many fond memories of his family long ago. Rene completed school and graduated June 1971. Due to adventure, as well as enabling a solid career, Rene joined the Canadian Forces that summer. He was proud. He was, though raised in Montreal, a very strong and proud Canadian. With the Electrical Generator Systems, commonly called EGS, Rene served as a Construction Engineer in the Royal Canadian Air Force. Rene served for 26 years and, as he would add, 183 days. He served in Canada, from the Atlantic to the Pacific to the Arctic Oceans, in Europe and in the Middle East. He was proud of his years of service. Warrant Officer Rene Gratton retired January 1998. Rene, thereafter, was employed at Wal-Mart for thirteen years. Just four years ago, Rene truly retired. Yet, as he often said, “I was a construction engineer. Now, I am a domestic engineer.” Rene and Caroline met in August 1993. Through a deep friendship and enormous love, Rene and Caroline married on July 6, 1996. Their marriage is so strong, so full of respect, of deep friendship, of adventure, and of everlasting love. Rene passed away suddenly on February 6, 2016, at home. We were together. Rene’s parents, Albert and Therese, passed away many years ago. Rene leaves to mourn his wife, Caroline Keith-Gratton; his siblings Leo (Kathy), Robert (Susan), Pierre (Sylvie), Diane and Denise; his parents-in-law Pam and Rollie Keith; his sisters-in-law Joanne (Patrick) and Barb (Steve); his Aunt Yolande, and many nephews, nieces, endless friends, and our loving dog, Samson. A service for Rene will be held on Saturday, February 13th, at 11:00 a.m. The service will be at St. John’s Anglican Church in Sardis. Rene shall rest peacefully and forever be loved by all.
