Teenager facing murder charges

Council not sure about one-way on Mill

Friends say goodbye on social media to Chilliwack man killed in Alberta town

Merchants say parking spots need to stay BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

n 18-year-old woman is facing murder charges following the death of a Chilliwack man in a small Alberta town last weekend. Twenty-six-year-old Tak Tai Lawrence Leung, who police say was from Chilliwack, died Saturday from injuries sustained in an altercation. A 20-year-old woman was also injured but has since been released from hospital. The incident took place in Gleichen, Alta., a tiny community 100 kilometres east of Calgary. On Tuesday, Gleichen RCMP arrested Kristy Noel Redgun, who they said was from the nearby Siksika First Nation, and charged her with first-degree murder in Leung’s death. The charge of first-degree murder means police think the killing was premeditated. Mounties say an autopsy conducted Tuesday confirmed Leung’s identity and the fact that his killing was a homicide. On his Facebook page, friends remembered Leung as a “guy who always treated everyone with respect” and someone who loved cars. “Thanks for making my life a little more fun,” one friend posted. The page said Leung was living in Calgary.

available. “The stocking rate is at least two (bees) per acre—I have my best growers stocked at five per acre,” Awram said. “It just doesn’t add up. What happens is there are hundreds of acres that are insufficiently pollinated and the crops suffer as a result.” As a response, Awram said pollination fees have gone up. Over time, he believes it’s possible that the price of crops such as blueberries will also increase, creating a more competitive market that could attract other beekeepers to the region. “There isn’t a reasonable solution. I don’t see what the growers, especially the growers of blueberries, will do in a few years,” Awram See BEES, Page 21

To bee or not to be BY STEPHANIE IP The Province

ocal farmers are feeling the sting as a shortage of honeybee hives seems poised to hurt their crops this coming season. The availability of honeybee hives, used by farmers to pollinate large crops, has been in slow decline since border regulations implemented in the late ‘80s stopped the import of honeybees. Paired with the recent closures of two honeybee suppliers in Alberta, Chilliwack beekeeper Jerry Awram says the demand this year far outweighs what he’s able to supply. “We normally set our numbers at about 4,000 hives . . . but we can’t really boost our number significantly from year to year,” said

the owner of the family-run Honeyview Farm in Rosedale. Awram explained it’s not easy to increase a stock of bees—there’s no predicting how the hives will fare throughout the winter and survive into the spring. “It’s very difficult,” he said. “From year to year, we really have no idea how good the survival of hives will be in the winter.” The longtime beekeeper said it’s tough to juggle all of those challenges but said this year’s been even more difficult since the demand has been higher than usual. According to Awram, there are 20,000 acres of blueberry crops in the area that rely on honeybees to help with pollination. Awram’s bee farm is the largest in B.C., and even they only have about 20,000 bees

hether it’s parking or driving, there will be fewer vehicles on Mill Street if merchants have their say in the planned reconfiguration of the short stretch of downtown. Business owners on Mill favour a design that maintains parking spots while making the street one-way, but at least two city councillors at Tuesday’s meeting questioned if that’s the best plan. The Mill Street upgrade project scheduled for spring 2014 would see the addition of street trees and the widening of the west sidewalk for outdoor cafe space. In late 2012, a design was created—based on one first conceptualized in 2007—that imagined two travel lanes on Mill with the elimination of parking on one side to make way for the wider sidewalk. This plan, which would have reduced the number of parking spaces from 16 to 10, was universally opposed by merchants along Mill. Five more designs were then created—three with one-side parking and two with one-way traffic—and presented to merchants. Of those designs, 11 out of 13 merchants

St. Thomas asking for memories from public

“We want to reach out to create a history of all the people that have attended and been a part of the parish community.”

ith a major milestone approaching, parishioners of St. Thomas Anglican Church are asking the public to help write the history of the downtown Chilliwack landmark. The church will celebrate its 140th year in Chilliwack this fall and is compiling a book to mark the anniversary. With so much history, those tasked with the job are asking the public for their memories and photographs of the church—or churches. The proud building at the non-intersection of Gore and First avenues is more than 100 years old. But even it only knows part of the story. Ditto for its original site at Five Corners. The first Anglican church in Chilliwack was actually an import. In 1873—just two years after British Columbia joined confederation—an unused church from Port Douglas on Harrison Lake was uprooted and floated on six war canoes to Chilliwack. Here, it was re-constructed on an acre of cleared forestland that was donated by local pioneer Isaac Kipp. Originally called St. Mark’s,

St. Thomas Anglican Church celebrates its 140th year in 2013. Event organizers are asking the public for their photos and memories of the historic landmark.

the church was renamed for St. Thomas and consecrated on Nov. 6 of that year by the province’s first Anglican bishop, George Hills. The small church took care of parishioners’ needs for more than two decades until 1897, when, with Chilliwack growing, it was replaced by a larger building.

SCAN TO EMAIL PHOTOS That church was hand built in the “carpenter gothic style” with lumber donated by parishioners. It remained at Five Corners for 12 years

until it was moved to its present location to make room for new development. It has remained there for 104 years and continues

to host Sunday worship, soup kitchens, seniors’ luncheons, weddings, funerals and more. To celebrate its vibrant history, the church is planning several events this year, beginning with a Church on the Grass celebration in September. It will also hold a historical church service—complete with period costumes—in October, a community banquet in November, and special festivities in December. Laura Reid said they are particularly interested in photos from the church’s history. “We’re looking for photographs from the community, from people who have attended the church or got married at the church,” she said. “We want to reach out to create a history of all the people that have attended and been a part of the parish community.” ◗ Photos can be scanned and emailed to john.sovereign@gmail.com or dropped off at the Church office at 46048 Gore Ave.

ounties in Agassiz continue to hunt for a cowardly robber who grabbed a purse from a disabled woman in a wheelchair. The attack Friday at 4 p.m. resulted in the woman being dragged and injured when the man grabbed the purse that was still attached to the woman in the electric wheelchair. RCMP Cpl. Dwayne Farlin said a woman was riding her wheelchair at around 4 p.m. Friday when a person came up from behind to grab the purse.

The 53-year-old woman was dragged forward as the suspect tried to run away. She hit her head hard on the pavement and then suffered a seizure. “We are still investigating and calling out for assistance from the general public,” said Farlin. “We are putting out a plea for anyone with information to contact us,” he added. The woman’s husband Kent Gundrum told Global BC the thief also stole some of his wife’s prescription pain medication. “She’s not doing too good,” he said. “Her nerves are really bad, and she mentally has a lot of stress involved with the incident that hap-

Farlin said that is the extent of the description, and he noted they have not determined if the robber was a man or a woman. “This was pretty upsetting to see,” he said of the incident.

UFV building wins award S

tudents at the University of the Fraser Valley’s Chilliwack campus at Canada Education Park might well be doing better on tests and assignments because of their school’s award-winning building design. This month the new campus was named Best In Class: University Building by the World Architecture News (WAN) Education Awards, an international competition that annually recognizes designs that go above and beyond to enhance education. Stantec, the consulting firm responsible for UFVs new campus, was the only award winner from the Americas in 2013.

“It’s a tremendous honour for our Stantec team to be recognized on the international stage,” said Mark Travis, Stantec’s lead design architect for the UFV project. “This was a unique undertaking with intricate challenges, and to be recognized along with well-known architects from around the world really speaks to the quality of design that our team achieved, in addition to the strong relationship we were able to establish with UFV.” Architects at Stantec amalgamated four existing and two new buildings in their

UFV’s Ed Visser, Retired Sappers president Ed Ashley and 39 Combat Engineer Regiment Major Grant Acheson will play key roles in the restoration of CFB Chilliwack’s saluting base.

Saluting base gets facelift W

ork is set to begin on the refurbishment of a major CFB Chilliwack landmark. After four years of planning, construction is ready to begin restoring the base’s old saluting base, from which prominent military officials and others observed parading troops. The base, which sits just off of Caen Road, is one of the only reminders of the history of the now-closed military training centre, CFB Chilliwack Historical Society president Jim Harris told the Times earlier this year. “We had some pretty famous people stand on that saluting base—some very famous

generals and Princess Margaret,” Harris said. Harris said the restoration is four years in the making. The University of the Fraser Valley is on board and Ed Ashley, the president of the Retired Sappers is working as the project organizer. The base looks over Caen Road and a parking lot that used to be the base’s Parade Square. A celebration is planned for Oct. 12. Organizers are also selling bricks, for $100, to help raise the $25,000 needed to complete the project. For more information visit www. cfbchs.com or email jimharris@shaw.ca.

Are Your Joints Feeling Sore?

or decades, doctors, researchers and consumers have dedicated a tremendous amount of time and effort on bone and joint health. The theories, scientiﬁc ﬁndings, and medications that have surfaced throughout the years have been plentiful and at times, quite overwhelming.

Recently, scientists found that extracts from the eggshell membrane can improve the pain and symptoms associated with osteoarthritis and degenerative arthritis or degenerative joint disease. It was the strength and durability of the egg’s membrane that prompted scientists to take a closer look into the it’s healing effects. What they found was that the natural eggshell membrane is a completely natural source of many key joint health nutrients— nutrients that have been the most effective and popular ingredients for joint health for nearly two decades. What’s more, it delivers its natural beneﬁts in record time, providing

fast-acting joint support.

Speciﬁcally, a daily supplement of 500 mg of eggshell membrane (called “Natural Eggshell Membrane” or “NEM” for short) was found to reduce joint pain and joint stiffness, after only ten days, according to results of a trial conducted by the National Osteoporosis Foundation. According to their results, patients receiving NEM, experienced a “relatively rapid response for all symptoms of arthritis as well as pain, stiffness and function.” Results showed 1/3 of the patients had a greater than 30% reduction in pain in 7 to 10 days. 1/4 of the patients had a greater than 50% reduction in stiffness within 10 days

If you suffer from sore, aching joints, we highly recommend Natural Factors NEM. As many others have already discovered, you too will be very happy with the results. 30 caps

City hall looking for feedback at OCP review ‘cafés’ BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

ity hall continues to move ahead with the review of the official community plan (OCP) and continues to struggle to get the public engaged despite making it easier than ever. “Public input is integral,” director of engineer ing David Blain told council at Tuesday’s meeting. “As ongoing community participation is vital to the development and implementation of a meaningful and viable plan, a number of opportunities will be provided for the public to provide greater input on policy issues identified during the fall engagement program,” manager of longrange planning Karen Stanton said in a staff report. In addition to the ability to call or email in feedback, or connect via PlaceSpeak— an online community consultation platform—the city has planned “community cafés” June 5 in Sardis and June 6 in Chilliwack. The OCP is a guiding document that serves as a foundation for the city’s p o l i c i e s . It a d d r e s s s e s where certain housing will be located, and plans for public facilities and other service requirements as the population grows over the next 30 years. The current review is a periodic revisitation of the document to see if it’s really the way the city should grow. The plan was developed for a population of 134,000 people with a review scheduled when there were 85,000 residents in Chilliwack. At just under 83,000, the city decided now was time to review the OCP. Since January, staff have been working on 30-year growth projections to address residential, commercial, industr ial and institutional land-use needs and estimate how much that would cost. “ T h e re i s n o p o i n t i n debating different growth approaches if we can’t provide services,” Blain said. In a d d i t i o n t o o bv i ous discussions about downtown developments and zoning priorities for various areas of the city, the OCP also addresses building design, how to create a healthier community, affordable housing and economic prospsects “so people can work and live in our community,” Blain told council. Mayor Sharon Gaetz said for those who have questions about development and planning downtown Chilliwack, this OCP review

is “a good opportunity for people to come and hear all about it and ask their questions and give their input as well.” While the city is encour-

aging feedback from the public, so far the response—online at least— has been minimal. On PlaceSpeak, there has been just 20 total comments on

seven discussions started by staff. The public can participate in an online surv e y a t w w w. c h i l l i w a c k . c o m / o c p re v i e w o r j o i n

PlaceSpeak at www.placespeak.com. Feedback is also accepted via email at planning@chilliwack.com or by phone at 604-7932906.

The official community plan community cafés are planned from 6:45 to 8:30 p.m. on June 5 at Sardis elementary and June 6 at Evergreen Hall.

MILL STREET, from page 1 chose the option that sees 18 parking spots retained on both sides and traffic reduced to one-way northbound. The width of the west sidewalk would go from 1.9 metres to 3.7 metres. ( The owners of Harvest Restaurant and Jenny’s Pet Food preferred an option that retained two-way traffic with both-side parking but also reduced the width of the west sidewalk by 10 centimetres and the east sidewalk by 20 centimetres. This option also reduced the size of parking spots by more than a metre, increasing the number of spots to 22.) But council isn’t sure about the majority merchant choice. “I have some concerns with one-way traffic especially heading north on Mill Street,” Coun. Ken Huttema said. “It’s a bit difficult to get there if you are coming from the south side of town to get up Wellington and up Mill Street. It may be a bit cumbersome. “And really, having parking just on one side of the street?

Tyler Olsen/TIMES

The most popular plan for Mill Street among merchants would see the street become one-way northbound. If you’ve got a good thing, people don’t mind walking a block or two to come see it so losing a handful of parking spots for the greater good, I really don’t see it as an issue.” Coun. Ken Popove, who is the former president of the Downtown Business Improvement Association, asked if city staff had considered if making Mill one-way was really the best option for traffic flow. “Or are we just trying to make everybody on Mill Street happy?” he asked. Manager of transportation Rod Sanderson said this was now the beginning of a “consultation package” and further feedback would be sought from merchants on Victoria and Wellington. He added that one-way streets aren’t as bad as some might think.

“Much of the impact will be one of perception on the part of customers,” Sanderson said. “One-way steets can operate very effectively and efficiently but they can take some time to get used to.” Coun. Jason Lum asked if cyclists were considered in the plans. Sanderson said the volume of cyclists was too low. Mayor Sharon Gaetz also gave her input on both parking downtown and the idea of accommodating cyclists. “We’ve done an inventory of parking in that area and there is a lot of parking that is available to people but within a few steps of the actual proposal,” Gaetz said. “We might want to talk about how we can make it friendly for cyclists as well, particularly with Party in the Park. Perhaps we could start thinking more to the future.”

◗ Opinion

Long-term but too long I ’ve been thinking about downtown Chilliwack. Because that’s what I do when I find myself too happy with life. I deeply, dearly want downtown to flourish. And yet, despite the best efforts of many, I just can’t convince myself that, in some notto-distant year, it won’t be utterly depressing. The city’s downtown plan to purchase and package a huge block for a developer initially had me excited. But that’s been tempered by the growing realization that it won’t happen anytime soon. And by soon, I mean before my child can drive. (That child has yet to be born.) To make the plan happen, the city will have to expropriate land from unwilling property owners. The case could end up in court. Even if it doesn’t, all those buildings still need to be bulldozed. The site still needs to be cleared. And, most challenging, a developer willing to sink millions into Chilliwack’s downtown needs to be found. In general, I like it when politicians look for long-term solutions instead of the quick fix. It shows vision and bravery instead of a desire for the easy photo-op. And yet, I wonder if the city’s vision will be relevant by the time it’s finally possible. The project is likely to take so long that new issues may come up, or new solutions may be dis-

Win,Lose orTy covered by the time shovels break ground. Fads come and go. Platform shoes were once cool. Then they weren’t. Then they were. Urban planning works the same way, albeit with fewer comedic pratfalls. Will the city’s plan be obsolete in a decade? I hope not, but it’s impossible to tell. I’ve also been wondering whether low taxes are hurting downtown Chilliwack. Before you call me a Communist, let me explain. I don’t disagree that low property taxes help business make more money and, thus, survive and thrive. But the city should look at whether the low taxes paid by the owners of business-zoned properties affect Chilliwack’s high business vacancy rate. Taxes can be used as incentives, as the city knows well: it tries to lure businesses to Chilliwack with some of the lowest in the province. But those low rates also make it relatively cheap for the owners of derelict and vacant buildings to hang onto their property rather than sell. They also may encourage overbuilding of the sort that gets us

half-vacant strip malls. The solution, obviously, isn’t raising business rates across the board. But many municipalities have special rates for vacant properties. Those are usually lower than the occupied rate. Chilliwack would want the opposite. It’s not a sure thing by any stretch of the imagination. It seems like it would encourage businesses to try and game the system by claiming the building is occupied and functioning as a business front when it’s not. (Although even that would increase the cost of owning and not-selling a run-down property like the old Safeway building.) Enforcement would also be dicey. And it’s very possible that absentee property owners just don’t give a rodent’s rear-end about taxes. And even if they don’t, maybe there’s another way to get restaurants into our downtown— because, make no mistake, that will be the key driver—and get boarded up windows out. Personally, I’m in favour of restricting the amount of business-zoned space in the city and thereby forcing would-be retailers to set up shop in unused territory. It doesn’t have to be that, but while it pursues central planning of its downtown, the city should look at what creative incentives it can use to help jump start the process.

ncouraging citizens to vote in elections that are covered in every gory detail in newspapers and on TV is a persistent problem. So imagine the challenge the City of Chilliwack has in its attempt to rouse up interest in a planned review of a long-term planning document. Snore. Yet the official community plan (OCP) is very important for the municipality. It should encapsulate how residents envision what the community will look like, 10, 20 and 30 years out. In 2040, children who enter kindergarten this coming September in Chilliwack will be 31 or 32 years old. They will—hopefully for mom and dad—have rewarding jobs, happy families and be in the early years of parenthood, home ownership and community involvement. But will they raise those kids, own that home and volunteer here in Chilliwack or will they move away? What kind of housing will they be able to choose from? Will industrial and commercial planning have been done thoughtfully enough to lure and retain good businesses with good jobs? Will parks, schools, community centres and libraries be vibrant and within livable neighbourhoods? Will the infrastructure be in place to sustain the coming growth? These are the types of long-term questions that get addressed in an OCP. These are some of the issues being addressed by city staff right now and that will be brought up at community cafés in June. (See story on page 6 for details.) In 2040, your kids could reap the benefits or suffer the consequences of longterm decisions made in 2013. So think of it this way: if you are of working age with kids in Chilliwack, get involved in the OCP planning, not to leave a legacy for your kids, but rather to be selfish. Do it so they’ll stick around when they get older and your grandkids will be nearby in a community you can all call home.

Search for absolute proof is a misguided approach Editor: Ms. Commerford’s profound lack of scientific literacy (Letters, May 14, 2013) demonstrates just why we owe our children the best science education that we can provide. She looks for “proof” of evolution while failing to understand that the cornerstone of science is its provisional nature. Absolute proofs are only possible in mathematics (deductive proof ). Molecular orbital theory cannot be “proven” to Ms. Commerford’s satisfaction, yet chemists use it every day to make paints, plastics, electronics, vaccines and virtually everything else she uses daily. This theory, along with many others, account for the entire scientific body

I sir, will never vote for you, or your party again as long as you hold this riding, your sheer arrogance has cost you this vote, and I’m sure will cost you more as more and more people come to realize this personality trait of yours. It’s nice to see Chilliwack has elected another arrogant politician whose only ambition is to line his own pockets. Doug McLean Chilliwack

Marriage and community

BY GRAHAM MCMAHON Chilliwack Church of the Nazarene

ne of the many things I enjoy about being a pastor is performing wedding ceremonies. I consider it a great privilege, yet it is not something that I enter into lightly with a couple. Several months ahead of the wedding, my wife and I will go through three or four sessions of pre-marital counselling with the couple. Our goal is to help them make sure they have the right tools in their “marriage toolbox” to ensure a long, healthy and fulfilling marriage. My wife and I have come to appreciate that one tool in the “marriage toolbox” is especially important; that tool is community. Too often we meet couples or hear stories of couples that meet, date, get engaged and get married

staring us right in the face. Without community, we can get trapped in a destructive cycle that can carry on until the relationship is destroyed. On the other hand, a trusted more experienced couple can help us see what we need to see. If we give them permission to speak into our lives and regularly have transparent conversations about our marriage, then unhealthy cycles can be broken or prevented from starting in the first place. 1 Peter 5:5 says, “In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,

without a healthy community to support them. We call this “getting married in a vacuum.” Now before you try and figure out what a vacuum cleaner has to do with relationships, I don’t mean that kind of vacuum. I mean the kind of vacuum where a certain space is completely empty. Where there should be a group of people that provide wisdom, accountability, support and affirmation, there is nothing; just a couple trying to navigate their relationship completely on their own. In relationships, our hearts can play tricks on us: they can cause us to see things that are not really there, or not see things that are

‘God opposes the proud but shows favour to the humble.’” This verse can be applied to all aspects of life but it is especially true of marriage. Our elders, those who have been in healthy marriages for longer than us, are there to walk with us in our marriages. However, to benefit from their support and wisdom we need to swallow our pride, humble ourselves, and submit ourselves in a way that acknowledges our need for other people to speak into our lives. Do you and your spouse have people in your life that you can regularly have a genuine conversation with? When those people ask you how you are doing, are you

God never intended us to walk through any of life alone, especially marriage. This is why the marriage ceremony is conducted in front of our friends and family. Not only do we pledge our love and support to our spouse on our wedding day, our friends and family pledge their support to us as well. If they were there on that day, they said they will cheer you on in your marriage so take advantage of them. Marriage is tough enough as it is, do not walk it alone; let a community cheer you on!

Sardis secondary’s senior boys rugby team scrum with Semiahmoo at a home game earlier this month. The Falcons head to Kelowna for the first game of the provincial championships Saturday.

Bomb scare leads to forfeit BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

bomb scare at Sardis secondary last week has put the Falcons senior boys rugby team at a disadvantage in the B.C. Provincial Championships that kick off in Kelowna this Saturday. The team was scheduled to play a seeding game against Abbotsford’s Robert Bateman Thursday, but a bomb threat before the end of third period forced Sardis to forfeit. “They locked down the school,” Falcons coach Darren Purych said. “Most of the guys’ kit was locked up in their lockers. When they escorted us out of the building, nobody’s allowed to go to their lockers, of course, because that’s where the bombs could be.” Because of the tight timeline to sort out seeding for the 16-team provincial tournament, league officials handed Bateman a 5-0 forfeit win on Thursday night. The loss puts Sardis 12th going into the tournament instead of, potentially, sixth if they had won against Bateman. “Yeah I wanted to play the game. We wanted to play,” Purych said, “but they had to go forward with the way it is.” Despite the forfeit, the Falcons coach is confident his team will win against Kelowna secondary Saturday, despite a preponderance of big football players on that team’s roster. “That works to our advantage if it’s sunny because we’ll outrun them,” Purych said. “We

have good speed outside.” A win Saturday would put Sardis in the top eight for the rest of the provincial tournament, which will be played at Rotary Stadium in Abbotsford May 29 to June 1.

Graham loses heartbreaker

G.W. Graham’s senior boys rugby team, meanwhile, lost a heartbreaking 12-10 decision to Heritage Park in the dying seconds of the Fraser Valley Championship final last Thursday. Going into the last play of the game, Graham led 10-9 and had dominated the match, with Jake Creasey and Josh Pretty scoring the only two tries. But the Grizzlies win evaporated at the last moment when Heritage Park’s Nathan Sawchuk punted a rare (for high school) drop goal from 30 metres out. “It was a great play but heartbreaking for our boys,” GWG coach Paula Jordan said. “That one’s going to hurt a little bit for a while.” Now seeded eighth in the provincial tournament, the Grizzlies face ninth-seeded Kalamalka in Kelowna in the first round. Like Sardis, a win would put GWG in the top bracket for the rest of the tournament in Abbotsford. Despite last Thursday’s result, Jordan said her team isn’t ready to end their season just yet. “We’re going to go and play our game and adjust. We’re a really strong team and last week will not be the defining moment of our season.”

Chilliwack’s Brad Clapp couldn’t catch Nick Taylor at CG&CC.

Bogey-free round earns Taylor a win

bbotsford’s Nick Taylor shot a bogey-free second round to triumph at the Vancouver Golf Tour’s fourth major Tuesday at the Chilliwack Golf and Country Club. Taylor—who plays out of CG&CC—finished at 11under for the tournament and barely held off Surrey’s Clark MacPherson and Chilliwack’s Brad Clapp. Both Clapp and MacPherson finished one shot back after shooting rounds of 64 and making

four birdies on Tuesday’s back nine. Clapp looked like he might catch Taylor and had drawn to 11-under before bogeying the 16th hole. The victory was Taylor’s third consecutive Vancouver Golf Tour win. Other strong local results came courtesy of Chad McAdie, who finished at four-under, Jared Rempel, who shot two-under for the tournament, and Joshua Taylor who finished the event at one-under.

G.W. Graham’s Ryan Higuchi broke a Fraser Valley record with his triple jump leap of 12.08 metres.

Not just a Willing participant

osedale middle school’s Tasha Willing led the Chilliwack medal count at the Fraser Valley High School Track and Field Championships in Abbotsford last week, dominating the junior girls throwing events. The Grade 9 student won gold in discus (32.13 metres), hammer throw (37.78 metres) and shot put (9.86 metres) and now advances in all three events to the B.C. High School Track and Field Championships in Langley at the end of this month. She’ll be joined by G.W. Graham jumper Ryan Higuchi, who broke a Fraser Valley Championship record with his gold-medalwinning 12.08-meter leap in the junior boys triple jump competition. Higuchi also captured bronze in long jump and 10th in high jump. Other podium performances at the meet

included a bronze from Chilliwack secondary’s Lily Law, who threw 26.61 metres in junior girls javelin (she also took eighth in long jump), and another bronze from A.D. Rundle’s Andrew Rulton, who leapt 10.05 metres in Grade 8 boys triple jump. G.W. Graham’s Hannah Hallier, meanwhile, just missed the podium in the Grade 8 girls long jump, placing fourth with a jump of 4.36 metres. She also placed fourth in the 200 metres (28.70) and sixth in the 100 metres (14.58). Sardis’ Ashley Heisler captured fourth in the senior girls 800 metres and seventh in the 400 metres. A.D. Rundle’s Morgan Miller won fourth in junior girls shot put (7.98 metres), and Chilliwack Curtis Hrusik narrowly missed the podium in the 1,500-metre steeplechase, placing fourth in 5:09.26.

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

Caring for your tomatoes

n any vote for the most popular food crop, tomatoes would win every time—and if you can keep their foliage dry and give them lots of warmth, food, water and sun, they’re easy to grow and very productive. But it’s not easy to juggle all these variables. People who make raised beds in greenhouses for tomatoes have the smoothest ride growing them: tomatoes develop fast when their roots are in deep soil. A vigorous shake is all the pollination they need and the glass (or polyethylene) surround allows heat to build up. The moist winds that spread tomato blight don’t enter greenhouses and watering and feeding is under the control of the gardener. This means foliage can stay dry and the gardener can provide the compost, well-rotted manure, fish fertilizers or organic fertilizer with high phosphorous (middle number) that tomatoes love. People who grow tomatoes in the same spot year after year should change the soil before each new batch is planted. This and careful attention to watering, rich feeding and dry foliage stops many troubles from starting. Scatterbrained watering can cause numerous problems. Small fruit or fruit which drops is the plant’s response to inadequate water. Irregular watering can produce split tomatoes and leaf curl. In hot weather, watering should be done at least once daily. More people are growing tomatoes in containers these days. One of the best locations for them is against a south or west wall where they can benefit from

Hanging Basket D•A•Y

Green Thumb reflected heat. The roof overhang will protect to some degree against rain. Since containers dry out fast, you may have to water twice in hot summer days. Some people grow tomatoes in hanging baskets: Tumbler, with its long, dangling branches is good for this. Big containers produce bigger crops. But some dwarf cherry tomatoes are bred especially for small containers. The Tiny Tim bush tomato grows about 12 inches (30 centimetres) and the miniscule Micro Tom grows about eight inches tall. Micro Tom is said to produce fruit even in a four inches (10 centimetres) pot. Grown in a garden bed, tomatoes are a gamble that can pay off big-time under a plastic hoop house or even uncovered provided we have an unusually dry, hot summer. In a wet summer, an uncovered crop will be lost to blight. But blight-resistant toma-

Beautiful gardens start here

toes are becoming easier to find. Defiant is large-fruited, Mountain Magic is a large cherry type and both produced many tomatoes for me in the long, hot summer last year. I don’t yet know how they would do in a cold, wet summer. Legend has also produced well for me. It is a good idea to avoid planting tomatoes anywhere potatoes have been grown within the last few years. If you can’t avoid this situation, mulching can stop watering from splashing blight spores up into tomato foliage. If your mulch is plastic, you’ll need to run a soaker hose underneath it. Bush tomatoes (determinate types) seldom need to be pruned because they produce short branches with the fruit truss only at the tip. But indeterminate (vine) tomatoes grow into huge bushes unless you prune out most of the suckers that sprout from leaf axils. The first three or four suckers can be kept because they may have time to produce fruit. The later ones won’t. ◗ Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions.

Time-saving cleaning tricks

ouse cleaning is a chore few people relish. House cleaning can be monotonous and time-consuming. But ignoring cleaning tasks may leave you with a much larger mess to tackle. Cleaning does not have to be such a difficult job. There are a number of time-saving strategies to keep the mess to a minimum and your weekend afternoons free from all-day cleaning marathons. • Do the dishes after every meal. A sink full of dishes can make the kitchen look like a mess, and letting dishes pile up increases the risk of an insect infestation. Although it may seem like a chore, keeping on top of dishes actually reduces your workload. If you’re lucky enough to have an automatic dishwasher, then load dishes directly into the dishwasher instead of putting dirty items into the sink. • Protect your microwave. The inside of the microwave tends to get dirty rather quickly. Heating up snacks or quick meals may result in spill-overs or splatter. To cut down on cleaning time, stack several paper towels on the turntable. Should a spill occur, simply discard

the top paper towel for an easy clean-up. • Switch your soap. Glycerin or liquid soaps do not have traditional binders that are in many bar soaps. Without the binders, which are the primary cause of soap scum, you will have to contend with much less soap scum in showers and sinks. To further cut down on soap scum, use a small, flexible squeegee to wipe down tile walls and glass doors after each shower. • Wo r k f r o m t h e t o p down. Dust and dirt settles at the lowest levels. Avoid messing up what you have just cleaned by beginning any cleaning task high up and moving downward. Therefore, dust shelves and cobwebs from ceiling corners first, then tackle tables and other surfaces before ultimately cleaning the floors. • Concentrate on one room at a time. Some people suffer from cleaning attention deficit disorder. This means they’ll begin one task and then go into another room for something and start a new task, and so on. Focus on one room at a time to save time. You will do a more thorough job with less frustration. • Establish a drop zone.

Saving vacuuming for last means you won’t be cleaning dust that settled while dusting or wiping down items twice. Foyers tend to accumulate a lot of clutter. Organize the space so you’re less tempted to drop items as soon as you come in. Keep the recycling bin (or shredder) handy for dealing with junk mail. Have a coat rack for hats, coats and umbrellas. Keep a basket available so you can transport items that belong in other rooms in the house. • Do laundry every day. Invest in a hamper that enables you to sort cloth-

ing into different compartments, including lights, darks and delicates. This way the sorting is already done when it comes time for washing. Then aim to do a load a day so that you’re not faced with 100 pounds of laundry come the weekend. • Rely on baking soda and vinegar as cleaning products. These kitchen staples are the workhorses of many cleaning projects. A mix of baking soda and vinegar can dislodge a clogged drain and be added to a wash to freshen towels and linens. A paste of baking soda can often scour tough stains, like marker, while vinegar has been known to neutralize pet odors from accidents. • Think outside the box. A can of Coca-Cola can be effective at cleaning the ring in the toilet. An unsweetened package of Kool-Aid brand lemonade can be used to freshen and clean an empty dishwasher. The citric acid will scour the inside and get rid of any scaling or hard water stains. Cleaning is a task that may not be enjoyable, but it is a necessary evil of healthy living. Keeping on top of the mess can save time in the long run.

Advice to make the most of your home renovation

inside and out, and a close second is to replace outdated lighting fixtures,” advises Todson. “Paint and lighting, which can be quite economical, really spruce up an older home and make buyers feel like they are getting something fresh and new. “The renovations that offer the next best return on investment are kitchens and bathrooms—but the price tag on these items may be a lot higher. Energy efficiency is also a priority on buyers’ lists so it’s worth considering a new furnace or replacing windows. However, high-end multi-media rooms and elaborate outdoor spaces including pools do not provide a good return. These items should be added for personal use, not to try and sell your home.” “Lastly, consider your neighbourhood,” concludes Todson. “You don’t want to price yourself out of the market by having the most renovated house on the block.”

ccording to a recent survey by CIBC, 25 per cent of British Columbians plan to make home renovations in the next twelve months and plan to spend an average of $19,000 for those renovations-much higher than the national average of $15,300. Renovations can add significant financial strain to a household budget and stress to an already busy family, says Avi Kay, branch manager at Envision Financial. But with a bit of planning and research, much of the pain and uncertainty can be avoided and that long-awaited renovation can become a wise investment. Plan ahead Before undertaking any renovation project, you should have a clear understanding of the costs involved and the scope of the project. Kay recommends getting several estimates from qualified contractors and anticipating an additional 10 to 15 per cent for unexpected costs. It’s also important to make sure you have a signed agreement with the contractor you select. “I’ve seen so many people go into a renovation without a clear plan in place,” says Kay. “By taking the time to really plan out your renovation with an experienced contractor, you’ll go in with a clear understanding of what’s being done and how much you’ll need to spend. You’ll also be happier with the final result and the overall cost.” Ron Todson, president of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board and realtor of 30 years agrees. “Your home is likely your most valuable investment, so when you decide to renovate, you need to be strategic.

“If you’re updating one part of your house, make sure you leave some room in the budget to lightly spruce up the rest of your home as well,” Todson says. “Otherwise the newly renovated section can make the rest of your house look outdated and become a drawback in the eyes of a prospective buyer.” Educate yourself “There’s a lot to consider and be aware of when undertaking a renovation,” says Kay. “You’ll need to check with your municipal building department to see if your planned renovations are allowed under current zoning and bylaws and make sure they conform

etroTeck Window

MFG.LTD.

to building code. If you’re changing the structure of your home, it’s also a good idea to use an architect so that your plans are structurally sound. Failing to do so could void your home insurance.” Kay also encourages anyone undertaking renovations to consider greener options. There are often rebates and even tax credits available for eco-friendly renovations. Home owners can visit the LiveSmart BC website at www.livesmartbc.ca for information on which renovations may qualify. Choose renovations with good resale value “The best and cheapest renovation you can undertake is to repaint your house

Fund wisely After you’ve made a plan with a qualified contractor and drawn up a budget you feel comfortable with, don’t forget to take the time to make sure you have a cost-effective way to pay for your upcoming renovations. “Once you have a budget in place, it’s important to make sure you have proper financing available,” says Kay. “The cost of your renovation will go up dramatically if you rely on high interest products like credit cards. Instead, take advantage of low interest rates by renegotiating your mortgage, taking out a home equity line of credit or applying for a personal loan. Take the time to meet with a financial expert you trust—they’ll work with you to find a solution that works for your family.”

UPPER FRASER VALLEY REGIONAL DETACHMENT

2012 YEAR IN REVIEW

Royal Canadian Mounted Police A MESSAGE FROM THE OFFICER IN CHARGE OF THE UPPER FRASER VALLEY, RCMP SUPERINTENDENT KEITH ROBINSON Welcome to the Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment’s (UFVRD) year in review for 2012/2013. This report will provide an overview of our policing programs, projects and crime reduction initiatives that are active in your communities. In 2012, we continued to focus our attention on the continued success of our Crime Reduction Strategy. This strategy has signiﬁcantly reduced the frequency of crime and promoted public safety through targeted and intelligence-led policing enforcement. The Proliﬁc Offender Management Program continues to show a decrease in the number of calls for service. As well, our Social Chronic Program has been a success providing support to the less fortunate citizens of our communities. Superintendent Keith Robinson This has allowed for policing resources to focus their attention on other priorities throughout the region. This goal has been achieved and will continue to be a priority throughout the next year in the UFVR Detachment area.

Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment area The Upper Fraser Valley RCMP Detachment area consists of Chilliwack, Agassiz, Harrison Hot Springs, Hope and Boston Bar, including outlying areas. We operate under a regional policing model allowing resources to be deployed where and when needed throughout the regional detachment area for major incidents and investigations. This allows for effective policing services to be provided throughout the region. Community safety and providing excellent service delivery in the policing we do is a top priority of the Upper Fraser Valley RCMP.

Over this past year, I have continued to encourage our members to raise our police visibility in the communities they serve. Many of our members are involved as coaches, volunteers and mentors to youth. They have led and participated in some significant community events including several charity hockey games, Cops for Cancer and ‘Stuff the Cruiser’ food drive fund raisers to name a few. I continue to be proud to lead the officers and staff of the UFVRD as they continue to provide an excellent policing service in an ever changing, challenging and, at times, dangerous world. The UFVRD is moving into the third year of our three-year Strategic Plan and will strive to bring our goals to fruition. This will be accomplished by continued support and encouragement of our members as they work toward the success of the objectives that we have set out in the Plan. I have retired this year after more than 39 years of public service with the RCMP. I have truly enjoyed my last six and a half years here in the Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment. I firmly believe that our successes are a reflection of our community support and public engagement. The RCMP in partnership with our Municipal Government, Justice Partners and Community has all contributed to making the Upper Fraser Valley a safe community. I have been proud to serve you as the Officer in Charge. I would like to introduce the new Officer In Charge, Superintendent Deanne Burleigh. Thank you for your continued support of the RCMP in your community. - Superintendent, Keith Robinson

With the integration of Hope, Boston Bar, Chilliwack and Agassiz, all communities have access to any and all specialized sections operating in the Upper Fraser Valley. One benefit to this approach is cost savings to our communities without sacrificing the excellence in policing services we wish to deliver. When a serious situation occurs anywhere in the Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment area, any number of resources can be mobilized. If officers are working a regular shift then this is at no extra cost to the communities of the Upper Fraser Valley.

LOWER MAINLAND DISTRICT RCMP SUPPORT SERVICES As part of the Lower Mainland District, the Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment receives the support and expertise of many specialized integrated teams and services. These specialized services provided from the Lower Mainland District RCMP ensure that even the smallest communities are provided policing services that any major urban centre would have. These teams are full-time specialists in their respective areas who receive training to the highest standard. Services provided to all communities of the Lower Mainland include the use of RCMP Air Services, Lower Mainland District Integrated Police Dog Services

(IPDS), Lower Mainland District Integrated Forensic Identiﬁcation Services (IFIS), Lower Mainland District Emergency Response Team (ERT), Lower Mainland District Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT), BC Integrated Gang Task Force (BCIGTF), Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU), Integrated Collision Analyst and Reconstruction Services (ICARS), Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team (IMPACT), and the Regional Duty Ofﬁcers who provide district level support on a 24 hour basis across all public safety jurisdictions.

TARGETED AND INTELLIGENCE LEAD POLICE ENFORCEMENT:

FIRST NATIONS POLICING Community partnerships have continued to be maintained and strengthened to help address crime issues in the First Nations Communities. In 2012, the UFVRD RCMP First Nations Police Unit conducted over 20 boat patrols on the Fraser River. There are currently 6 trained jet boat operators in the unit. This unit continues the Aboriginal Shield Program which has been well received by the Aboriginal community. This summer the unit took on a summer student from the Aboriginal PreCadet Training program. A key factor to helping establish a stronger relationship between the RCMP and the First Nations Communities is the individual commitment of each First Nations Policing ofﬁcer. Members are encouraged to immerse themselves in the rich culture of the First Nations people to gain a better understanding of the history, traditions and values of the communities they service. This commitment has been an important factor in building strong working relationships within the communities. As a unit we are responsible for providing enhanced services to the following CTA communities: Chawathil, Cheam, Kwantlen, Kwawkwawapilt, Scowlitz, Seabird Island, Shxw’ow’hamel, Soowahlie, and Sts’Ailes

FOURTH ANNUAL UFVRD RCMP “STUFF THE CRUISER EVENT” The Fourth Annual Chilliwack RCMP “Stuff the Cruiser” event was again a huge success with the generous help of the community. The Chilliwack RCMP collected over $2989.20 in cash donations and over 7500 food items. Agassiz raised over $530.00 in cash and delivered two truckloads of food. Hope raised $620.00 and over 1400 pounds of food, and Boston Bar members raised 1125 pounds of food and over $900.00 in cash. All of the money and food collected was donated to the Salvation Army and food banks in each of the communities. Special thanks to the public for their donations, the participating businesses, and the members for their time and hard work for a worthy cause.

The audiences for these presentations included preschools, UFV students, seniors, youth, new immigrants, speciﬁc neighbourhoods and the general public. Chilliwack has a very active auxiliary policing program with 25 volunteers. Each auxiliary member is required to volunteer 160 hours per year. For 2012, the auxiliary members volunteered 3,839 hours. One Auxiliary dedicated almost 500 hours this year. A new troop of Auxiliaries will be graduating in May 2013. The RCMP is very proud of the dedication and hard work that these individuals put into keeping the streets safe. Auxiliary Program Purpose: The purpose of the Auxiliary Constable program is to strengthen community and Police partnerships by providing volunteers with the opportunity to perform authorized activities in support of strategies to address the causes of, or reduce the fear of crime and disorder.

Cst. Tracy Wolbeck

Corporal Tammy Hollingsworth and Constable Tracy Wolbeck would like to introduce the new UFVRD communications ofﬁcer, Corporal Len vanNieuwenhuizen.

Intelligence lead policing is a key element in crime reduction; ensuring our policing resources are used in a way that will have the greatest impact on reducing crime in our community. The crime reduction initiative focuses on three main tenets: proliﬁc/priority offender management, identifying crime hotspots, and identifying crime causation factors. All calls for service are important to the police, but as we move forward with crime reduction strategies, our focus will be on developing more targeted approaches to reducing criminal activity.

Our key crime reduction initiatives were: • Targeted & intelligence-led police enforcement. • Proliﬁc offender management. • Public education. • Internal training & education. • COMPSTAT

UFVRD PROLIFIC OFFENDER PROGRAM The Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment RCMP Proliﬁc Offender Management Program was launched in February 2009 and is a regional program which includes Chilliwack, Agassiz, Harrison, Hope and Boston Bar. The program has been running for four complete years now and remains a priority. Great successes have been realized every year since the program was initiated. In 2012, UFVRD selected 40 proliﬁc offenders.

The program has been met with another year of significant success. An analytical assessment of our 2012 prolific offenders was concluded and the results indicated a success in terms of disrupting offender behaviour and a reduction in police contact in the Upper Fraser Valley area. Sixty-five percent of the prolific offenders in all of UFVRD were deemed to be no longer prolific as they had either changed their behavior or had moved out of the area. For 2013, continued success is expected.

CHILLIWACK SOCIAL CHRONIC PROGRAM The Social Chronic Program was implemented in 2011 and was identiﬁed as a strategic priority in the area of crime reduction. The program was developed to better assist the needs of people in Chilliwack who chronically come in contact with police and most often have a mental illness or addiction issue. By looking at the causation factors as to why individuals are coming into regular contact with police it will assist in determining what services may be necessary to address the speciﬁc needs of an individual. Their contact with police is not always criminal in nature. Not all of them are able to manage themselves well socially

in the community. These calls for service are often an incredible strain on police resources as well as other community emergency services. The program has had great success connecting clients with the appropriate resources. As an end result, calls for police service have dropped signiﬁcantly in many cases. Mental illness and addictions affect many families and communities. We are fortunate that Chilliwack has many resources and dedicated professionals to assist those in need. The Social Chronic Program will continue into 2013 and is expected to be successful in assisting those in need.

PUBLIC AND INTERNAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING

Cpl. Len vanNieuwenhuizen

MEDIA COMMUNICATIONS Providing timely, accurate, and educational information to the community on current policing trends and issues is important to the RCMP. We are proud to have developed a strong partnership with our local media to keep our community informed. In 2012, hundreds of media releases were posted about crime trends and public safety concerns in your area. Being connected to our community is something we take great pride in, and we are committed to keeping the public well informed and educated about the ways in which they can help solve and reduce crime, protect themselves, and be involved in promoting public safety.

Public education is a key component of our overall crime reduction strategy. As we identify trends that are occurring in the community, we can provide real time information and education on ways the community can protect themselves and help prevent crime from occurring. In 2012, focus was placed on providing workshops within the community to support victims of domestic violence. Education about the realities of being a victim, the services and support systems available to victims and their families, and how to combat violence in relationships were presented. Training of our Members throughout the UFVRD was intense and included a large and varied

number of topics. These included required skills for each member as well as specialized courses ranging from interview techniques to detailed traffic investigations, major crime investigations, boat operator training, interpersonal skills, management of high risk incidents, current law and officer safety. The training of officers is a priority of the Senior Management in UFVRD who ensure the resources are available to continue education for each police officer serving in the UFVRD so they can obtain and maintain the skills and tools needed to fulfill our crime reduction goals.

COMPSTAT COMPSTAT means “computerized statistics” or “comparative statistics”. The use of COMPSTAT in a local policing model is a crime control and quality of life strategy. The UFVRD began using COMPSTAT in September 2010 and it has proven to be an effective tool in reducing crime. Unit heads and the Ofﬁcer in Charge attend monthly meetings to develop tactics and share ideas. The purpose of COMPSTAT is to identify and reduce crime by directing members to target

areas where and when concentrations of crime are occurring. The area crime analyst identiﬁes crime hotspots which help to dictate where police resources are allocated. Through COMPSTAT we have seen an increase in patrols and street checks which focus exclusively on crime hotspots. The focus of the model has proven to be successful to develop persons of interest and identify and arrest suspects involved in criminal activity. This has proven successful and this directive will continue throughout the year.

MARIHUANA GROWING OPERATION TAKE DOWNS: CHILLIWACK: In 2012, the Chilliwack RCMP Drug Section once again took a targeted enforcement approach to identifying and disrupting marijuana growing operations. A total of 34 grow ops were investigated last year, 16 of which were medicinal grows.

AGASSIZ/HARRISON: In 2012, the Agassiz RCMP disrupted 6 marihuana grow operations in the Agassiz, Popkum and Harrison area resulting in the seizure of thousands of plants.

HOPE / BOSTON BAR: In 2012, the Hope and Boston Bar RCMP dismantled 5 marihuana “grow ops” totaling over 3700 plants, including 90 large plants from an outdoor operation. They also seized over 2760 grams of dried marihuana bud and located two hydro-bypasses.

ORGANIZED CRIME AND DRUGS: Several charges were recommended to Crown counsel in connection with organized crime. Disrupting drug trafficking has been a continued focus for the Drug Unit and 8 charges were laid in connection to the illegal trafficking of drugs in the community. There were 15 total charges laid for trafficking and possession for the purposes of trafficking drugs. Police made 20 arrests for drug possession and 45 seizures for drug related offences. Over the course of 2012, 4 crack houses were taken down which resulted in multiple charges. These charges related directly to heroin, crystal meth, crack cocaine, and prescription drugs. The Crime Reduction Drug Section investigated a total of 379 files resulting in 59 charges. The unit also investigated 120 Crimestoppers tips for crime related incidents in the community.

CRIME REDUCTION SUCCESSES

POLICING SERVICES AT A GLANCE

The Upper Fraser Valley has a total of 156 regular RCMP members. While we operate under a regional policing model, each detachment has dedicated police resources that live and work in the communities we serve (Agassiz 13, Hope/Boston Bar 21, and Chilliwack 114). The UFVRD also has a 7-person First Nations Policing unit, 84.5 Support Staff, 37 Emergency 911 dispatchers, and hundreds of volunteers without whom we could not deliver our policing services with the high standard that we are proud to provide.

2012 CALLS FOR SERVICE: Chilliwack area - 30930 Agassiz/Harrison area - 3133 Hope/Boston Bar - 4714

UNIFORMED POLICING UNITS GENERAL DUTY (GD) Our general duty officers form the front line of our policing service and are our first responders. They are responsible for attending a wide range of calls for service from the public on a round-the-clock basis and are often the first on the scene of any crime that occurs. They are the initial investigators to all calls for service and often follow through with their investigations to the end of the court process. These calls can range from barking dogs, thefts, assisting persons in distress, sudden deaths, and searching for missing persons. We consider our general duty members to be the “back bone” of our organization because they impact safety at the street level. Our GD members are present in Chilliwack, Agassiz, Harrison Hot Springs, Hope, and Boston Bar. They call upon specialized units for support when required.

TRAFFIC SERVICES The Chilliwack Municipal Traffic Section participated in several proactive initiatives in 2012. The Section implemented a ‘School of the Month’ program where school zone speed enforcement was targeted. The Traffic Section has continued with ongoing training in the areas of Child Restraint Technician, use and deployment of the Division roll-over simulator, collision scene investigation, collision scene investigation and major crime investigation processes. This section works very closely with the crime analyst in determining problem traffic locations. This allows for a more strategic focus for the officers to work when and where their efforts will have the greatest impact on lowering the rates of injury and death on our roadways. They continue to target impaired driving, distracted driving, failure to use seatbelts, and intersection violations as these have been shown to be contributing factors in the majority of collisions.

CRIME PREVENTION AND OPERATIONAL SUPPORT (CPOS) Chilliwack Crime Prevention and Operational Support are dedicated to delivering crime prevention and youth initiatives to the community. Agassiz and Hope Crime Prevention Ofﬁce have one shared position that compliments general duty ofﬁcers in the detachment areas.

SERIOUS CRIME UNIT Each detachment in the UFVRD has a complement of serious crime investigators comprising of our most experienced and highly skilled police ofﬁcers. These ofﬁcers are mandated to investigate all serious crimes including attempted murder, serious sexual offences, robberies, arson, and extortions.

C H I L L I WA C K CRIME REDUCTION UNIT (CRU) The Crime Reduction Unit at the Chilliwack CPO is made up of three dedicated teams; a drug team, a property crime team, and a proliﬁc offender team. They provide a targeted enforcement approach to our most active criminals with the main goal being to reducing drug and property crime in our community.

FIRST NATIONS POLICING (FNP) Our FNP unit is the largest of its kind in the province consisting of seven ofﬁcers. They provide combined crime prevention and operations support service to all of the First Nations communities in the Upper Fraser Valley.

COMMUNITY POLICING The Chilliwack Detachment provides a wide range of policing services from patrol and investigations to proactive services. Operational support is enhanced by support staff (municipal employees, public servants and regular members) fulfilling roles as prisoner guards, records management clerks, court liaisons, front counter clerks and other administrative assistance. Another key area of support comes from over 164 volunteers who work out of the downtown Wellington Community Policing and Operational Support Office (CPOS) which houses: • Victim Services • Crime Stoppers • Block / Grow Watch • Restorative Justice • Citizens on Patrol • Speed Watch • Crime Free Multi Housing • Auxillary Program The CPOS sub-station is operated by the Chilliwack Community Policing Society, which receives a significant amount of funding from the City of Chilliwack. For the year, this office saw 13,083 hours of volunteer time and would not be able to function adequately without the dedication of its volunteers. All of these employees and volunteers are committed to making Chilliwack a safe place to live and work. In 2012, the Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment hosted their annual Youth Academy. There were 48 graduates from the Chilliwack, Agassiz, Surrey, Sunshine Coast, Sea to Sky, Boston Bar, Mission, and Ridge-Meadows detachment areas. The students are exposed to the real life police training atmosphere. The Youth Academy experience incorporates academics, rigorous physical activities, as well as learning to work as a team and not as an individual.

AGASSIZ

HOPE/BOSTON BAR

GENERAL INVESTIGATION SUPPORT TEAM (GIST) GIST responds to complex investigations, and ensures transition of investigations from front line officers to specialized units. This unit has provided an excellent opportunity to train and mentor police officers. With this experience they have an opportunity to work with a number of specialized sections. The creation of this unit has reduced overtime call outs of serious crime investigators helping to significantly reducing costs.

Co-owner Amber Short kicked off The Bookman’s second annual Citrus-y Literacy fundraising campaign for local literacy programs this week.

Orange you reading yet? BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

any hands make for light work when it comes to “juicing up” funding for local literacy initiatives. That’s something Amber Short, co-owner of The Bookman, learned last year during her store’s first-ever Citrus-y Literacy campaign to raise money for the Chilliwack Learning Community Society (CLCS). “Individually, $2 doesn’t really do a lot,” she said, “but collectively, when people get together and give a little bit here and there, it pools together into something fairly substantial.” So Citrus-y Literacy is back at The Bookman for a second year from now until June 5. Last year the campaign, which encourages patrons to donate $2, $5 or $10 for a chance to stick a paper orange in the store’s window with a message of their choice, raised $1,400. “I think people really appreciate the opportunity to do something for the community that doesn’t involve a great deal of effort but has a lot of impact, so people respond really positively to it.” CLCS, a non-profit founded in 1990 to promote literacy and lifelong learning in Chilliwack, used last year’s funds to develop better ways to track its Lady Bug Book Bin initiative.

The project sees book bins—built by inmates at the Ford Mountain institution—set up in businesses like laundromats to encourage adults and their children to read together while they wait. Last year’s Citrus-y Literacy money went toward developing software and equipment to track the project’s inventory and effectiveness. CLCS also offers family literacy workshops, volunteer tutors, free evening English language conversation circles for immigrants and more. For Short, such programs are essential. “That commitment to literacy on a fundamental level is so important as a community,” she said. She was happy to see how many people felt the same way and bought a paper orange last year. By the end, the store’s window was plastered with them—many personalized not just with names, but also with quotations, poetry and drawings. “It was really cool how creative people got,” Short said. “There was a lot of really personal stuff in that window, and it was really cool just to stand outside and read it when it was all up.” ◗ For more information, visit The Bookman in person at 5939 Wellington Ave., online at www. bookman.ca or phone 604-792-4595.

Chilliwacky Gogos Doreen Morrey, Chelene Koening and Louise Stewart take a turn on some of the Sardis Drumline’s instruments.

Banging their drums for the Gogos

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

embers of the talented Sardis Secondary Drumline have their eyes on Africa as they push to raise $10,000 for grandmothers caring for children orphaned by HIV/AIDS. The Chilliwacky Gogos—the local version of the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign—will be the beneficiary of the fundraising concert entitled Drummin’ For Change on May 29. Joining the drumline will be the 200member Sardis Elementary Choir and special guests, the Simon Fraser University Pipe Band.

Sardis teacher Bruno Gagnon says the drumline has SCAN TO SEE VIDEO been fortunate in being able to parOF DRUMLINE ticipate in a number of events in recent years, not least of which was the

And while they have held fundraisers in the past to help them do those things, now they want to help the Gogos. “This year we want to give back,” Gagnon said. The Chilliwacky Gogos are one of the newer Gogo groups (Gogo is Zulu for Grandmother) to form in Canada. There are over 240 Gogo groups across the country, and since 2006 these busy,

committed grandmothers have raised over $16.5 million for the Stephen Lewis Foundation Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign. Africa’s grandmothers have become the heart of the response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic as they care for the children of those lost to the disease. Gagnon said they hope to raise $10,000 for the concert by printing 1,000 tickets for $10 each. There will also be speakers at the event in addition to the drumline, the SFU Pipe Band, Drum Cafe and the choir.
