Boss murderer using ‘faint hope clause’ BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

Chilliwack man convicted of murdering his boss 20 years ago will go before a jury next week to seek early release from prison. On the morning of May 17, 1993, Allan Crawshaw shot his boss, Trevor Newberry, three times in the

head at close range in the parking lot of Fraser Valley Foods, where the two men worked. Crawshaw, a shop steward at the plant, had received a one-day suspension. He was sentenced to 25 years in

prison for the killing, but the socalled“faint hope clause” allows him to apply to seek early parole after serving 15 years of his sentence. (The statute has been removed, but remains in force for offences com-

mitted before Dec. 2, 2011.) Crawshaw’s parole eligibility will be decided by a 12-person jury, which will be selected Monday. From there, a three-week trial is expected, at which jurists will hear

details of Crawshaw’s crime, his time in prison and any other information a judge deems relevant. Crawshaw applied for release in 2010, but his application was turned down—albeit not rejected outright. Jurists have several options available to them. See MURDERER, Page 10

Don’t bury EFI just yet, T says Dyck

ime is running out, but early French immersion could still become a reality in the Chilliwack school district by 2014 thanks to an 11th-hour motion by trustee Silvia Dyck. Dyck voted against starting an EFI program in 2014 earlier this month on the grounds the district

hilliwack’s Shane Kraemer had just 35 minutes to think about starting the biggest baseball game in his university’s history. Which might have been a good thing. Kraemer, in his senior year at South Dakota State and what could have been his final college baseball game, pitched five scoreless innings

didn’t have enough money for it. But she has since decided the program is worth the risk of dipping into the district’s $600,000 contingency fund. At a board meeting Tuesday, she announced plans to introduce a motion to that effect at the board’s June 11 meeting. The proposal calls on the board to generate money for EFI by changing its policy of maintaining

a $600,000 reserve balance. “Eventually it has the potential to be self-funding,” Dyck said of EFI. “Now is the time because we have a group of committed parents willing to work with us to make this program happen.” Dyck’s motion doesn’t include a specific timeline. If it’s passed, she said the matter would be sent to district staff, who would then come back to the board with those

details for approval. A 2014 startup would require a bit of a scramble, but it’s still possible, superintendent Evelyn Novak told theTimes. “The timeline now certainly is getting tight, as far as getting things in place, confirming enrolment, names of students that would attend, doing the hiring, getting the location ready,” she See EFI, Page 6

fter three years of delay, Sardis secondary’s agriculture program has been given the final go-ahead to expand onto a five-acre piece of vacant school district land on Richardson Road. The plan, which will include school gardens, a University of the Fraser Valley berry research area and possibly a cash vegetable crop by fall 2014, was unanimously approved by the Chilliwack school board Tuesday. But that final green light has been a long time coming. The idea was originally presented and enthusiastically endorsed by a previous board “in principle” in June 2010, and the people behind the plan, Sardis teachers Joe Massie and Tania Toth and UFV agriculture director Tom Baumann, were thrilled school officials had embraced it so wholeheartedly. “I’m really happy it’s happened as quickly as it has because sometimes with these things there’s lots of talk and no action,” Massie told the Times in 2010.

of Education and the City of Chilliwack was straightforward. It’s been a long wait, but Baumann said one good thing about the last three years is that they’ve given him and his Sardis partners plenty of time to work out the details of their plan, which will see joint Sardis-UFV projects bring all of the five-acre property into cultivation over the next five years. Work will begin this summer with fencing, leveling of the land, installation of a shipping container for storage and the digging of a well, but the first crops won’t be planted until next spring. “This year it’s not going to happen. It’s too late,” Baumann said. The school district originally bought the Richardson Road property, which sits in the agricultural land reserve (ALR), to build a school, but those plans never materialized, possibly because of a gas line that See PROGRAM, Page 22

he owner of a Chilliwack nanny agency has been accused of counselling foreign au pairs to lie about their purpose for entering Canada. After a five-year investigation by border authorities, Elizabeth “Lisa” Large was charged on May 6 with four counts related to an alleged nanny scheme between April 2007 and April 2013, according to the Canada Border Services Agency. The charges allege Large, doing busi-

ness as International Au Pair Canada, International Au Pair and International Homestays, arranged the placement of numerous foreign au pairs who did not have work permits with Canadian families during this time. She’s accused of counselling the nannies to misrepresent themselves as tourists when seeking entry into Canada. Large is charged with three counts of counselling people to lie to border agents and one charge related to helping a foreign national work illegally in Canada. Her next court appearance is set for June 25 in Chilliwack.

Bill for incinerator FOI raises a stink with FVRD BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

he Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) is appealing to B.C.’s information and privacy commissioner after Metro Vancouver refused to waive a $5,000 charge for a freedom of information (FOI) request. The FVRD wants to know what, if anything, Metro is hiding about the expert panel looking at a waste-to-

energy incinerator. “The FOI request was made in light of the recent resignation, due to the perception of bias, of the consultant that Metro Vancouver hired to co-ordinate the procurement process,” said a staff report presented at Tuesday’s meeting of the FVRD board. On Feb. 21, the FVRD submitted

the FOI request for all information dating back to Jan. 1, 2012, “relating to the procurement of waste-toenergy services and facilities.” Metro responded that this would cost the FVRD $4,942.50 for 78 hours of staff time and more than 10,000 photocopies. “[P]lease send to my attention a deposit in the amount of $2,471,

representing approximately one half the amount, payable to Metro Vancouver,” wrote Metro’s information and privacy co-ordinator Chris Plagnol on March 1. The FVRD then pointed out that under the act that governs FOI requests, fees may be waived if “the record relates to a matter of public interest, including the environment

Reserve funds EFI, from page 1 said. “It’s do-able, but it does make it more challenging to make it happen.” She also noted the effect the move would have on the district’s unrestricted reserve fund. “If we were to start tomorrow, it would reduce our unspecified reserves to $61,000,” Novak said. But Dyck is convinced the board should release the funds. “It is contradictory to hold a reserve while suggesting that we do not have the resources to start a new program that is both parent supported and part of our national identity as a bilingual country,” Dyck stated in the rationale to her motion. Other trustees aren’t quite as convinced. “I’m not opposed to early French immersion,” said trustee Doug McKay, who had voted against starting EFI in 2014 at the May 14 school board meeting on the grounds the district couldn’t afford it. “I want to find a way to make it work. Is this the best way to make it work? I don’t know that yet. I’m looking forward to having that conversation.” Trustee Heather Maahs, who had voted in favour of starting EFI in 2014, tried to hurry that conversation along by proposing the board vote on Dyck’s idea there and then, but her motion was voted down. Trustee Barry Neufeld, who had opposed EFI at the earlier meeting, said he was personally offended at having the last-minute motion throw at him before he had had time to reflect on the plan. “At our last board meeting we voted against this,” he said. “Some people have had some second thoughts, but it’s not proper at the subsequent board meeting to vote again on the same issue. We will never get anywhere.” ◗ Dyck’s motion is now set to be discussed at the June 11 board of education meeting.

or public health or safety.” But Plagnol wrote back in an April 22 letter to tell the FVRD that Metro didn’t see how releasing the documents can benefit the public. “I do not understand how the records relate to a matter of public interest or how they directly relate to the environment, public health of safety,” Plagnol wrote.

Tent caterpillars are a common sight in Chilliwack this year but the danger to trees is minimal.

Paul J. Henderson/TIMES

Tent caterpillar outbreak more nuisance than menace, says city

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

hilliwack’s urban canopy is facing a, creeping, crawling menace this spring as tree after tree is inundated with caterpillars. But relax, even though Chilliwack and the entire Lower Mainland is seeing an outbreak of tent caterpillars, not only are the critters harmless to people, they won’t even kill or damage trees. “Tent caterpillars are primarily a nuisance,” according to a City of Chilliwack handout issued to residents who have concerns. Western tent caterpillars, easily identifiable by their black and orange markings, are not common on the mainland but outbreaks have been reported in various Lower Mainland communities this year. Tent caterpillars feed on alders, poplars, willows, fruit trees and deciduous ornamentals and the insects rise and fall in seven- to 10-year cycles of outbreak followed by a natural collapse. In the caterpillar stage, they live in wispy tents of silk attached to tree branches, where they feast on leaves.

“Last year the population was very high in the Gulf Islands and in some places around the Lower Mainland,” according to Judy Myers, a professor of Zoology and of Agroecology at the University of British Columbia. “The population seems to be going down now in the southern Gulf Islands, but there seems to be a wave onto the mainland.” Chilliwack parks manager Dave Snider says in the worst-case scenario, the caterpillars will defoliate an entire tree but even then, the tree will survive. Some people have taken to using hoses, pesticides or even burning the tents but city staff do not recommend any treatment at all. “Although defoliated trees are a source of public concern, by the time the defoliation has become a noticeable concern it is too late to do much about the current years infestation,” the city handout states. “Treatment is usually not necessary to preserve the long-term health of the tree.” Tent caterpillars will leave the tent late in June and pupate in cocoons before emerging as adult moths— the stout brown ones that beat their heads against your porch lights in August. - with files from Vancouver Sun

ogs running loose as careless owners flaunt local bylaws are a common sight for anyone who spends time at Island 22 or the Vedder River Rotary Trail. The vast green space near Canada Education Park on the old CFB Chilliwack is also frequently used by dog owners who like to let their animal run free, but the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD)— which provides animal control services to the City of Chilliwack—is cracking down. With spring weather here, animal control officers have seen an increase in complaints about offleash dogs. As a result, patrols will be stepped up with a particular focus on Sardis Park and the Rotary Trail. “Failure to comply may result in fines of up to $500 and the possibility of your dog being impounded,” according to an FVRD press release. What is confounding to many who witness the near constant stream of off-leash dogs along the Vedder River, is the proximity of the off-leash dog park on Nord Road adjacent to the river. There are also off-leash dog parks at Island 22 and at Cultus Lake. “We encourage residents to take advantage of the designated offleash parks in our city,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz. “But remember to take the lead and put the leash back on when visiting high traffic areas such as Sardis Park and along the Vedder Trail.”

eform Party Leader Preston Manning used to get great audience reaction when he said that the Senate thrived on “protocol, alcohol and Geritol.” Senate reform was one of the main reasons the Reform Party became such a successful grassroots movement in the 1990s. At the time, there was a palpable desire for meaningful change, with most in the West wanting a Triple E Senate—an institution that would become equal, elected and effective. Previous attempts to change Canada’s constitution—the Meech Lake and Charlottetown Accords— were dead on arrival in the West in large part because they failed to propose adequate Senate reform— particularly in regard to equality. Because the Senate is not equal, and because senators are unaccountable to Canadians, there is a growing sentiment that perhaps the time has come to abolish it entirely. This sentiment only grows stronger when we see the sort of stories coming out of Ottawa recently. All senators—including the vast majority who are dedicated public servants—are now under the microscope because of the actions of a few. There are just too many stories of inappropriate behaviour, undeserved payments and unverifiable addresses for several members of the Upper Chamber. Canadians have rightly reacted strongly to these stories, and several senators have been forced to resign from their party caucuses due to their unacceptable actions,

MP MARK STRAHL

Be Our Guest even though they currently remain in the Senate. Many people have taken the time to contact me to let me know how disgusted they are with the current Senate scandal in Ottawa, and I assure them that I share that sentiment. I am angry that the unelected, unaccountable few have treated taxpayers with such disdain and I hope that they face the full force of the numerous authorities that are currently looking into this. Months ago, before these latest stories came to light, the Prime Minister had asked the Supreme Court to advise us on the process that would be required to reform the Senate (have them elected and accountable, and limit their term of office). He also asked the Court to rule on the possibility of abolishing the Senate—a process that will no doubt be very difficult to achieve without another round of divisive Constitutional wrangling. Either way, change is coming and it can’t come too soon. Of course, while we wait for the Court to rule on Senate reform options, (later this year), there are changes to be taken right now to ensure that further abuses can’t happen in the Senate expense

accounts. The full list of those proposed reforms can be found at www.lgs.gc.ca/eng/node/4253. Suffice it to say they’re strong enough that no one will be able to say “the rules weren’t clear to me.” While we aggressively pursue Senate Reform, it’s puzzling why new Liberal leader Justin Trudeau is aggressively protecting the status quo. Just this past weekend, in an interview with La Presse in his home province of Quebec, he said: “We have 24 senators in Quebec and there are only six for Alberta and six for British Columbia. That benefits us.” He is defending the status quo in the Senate because it benefits his home province, to the detriment of British Columbia! He has also said that he thinks that electing senators would be a “terrible idea” and that we just need to appoint better people. I think he’s missing the point—it’s the unaccountable part of the current Senate structure that people are most unhappy with, regardless of party. The status quo is not acceptable to Canadians—certainly not those British Columbians who are still looking for an effective, elected and accountable Senate. Our Conservative government believes that change in the Senate is long overdue, and we’re committed to making it happen with or without the support of the opposition. ◗ Mark Strahl is the MP for Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon.

wasn’t a national story when Toronto’s controversial mayor, Rob Ford, was accused of inappropriate touching on March 7 by Sarah Thomson, a former mayoralty rival. Even video footage of a man alleged to be Ford smoking crack cocaine could have remained Toronto-centric. What has made this story go viral, has been Ford’s response—or lack thereof. He initially called the allegations “ridiculous”, but then refused to talk to the media, delegating his brother, also a Toronto councillor, to do that on his behalf. Last Thursday, Ford summarily fired his chief of staff after a conversation that apparently included “advice” to the mayor. He finally denied the allegations and then, on Monday, his press secretary and deputy press secretary suddenly quit. One of three scenarios are at play here: it’s a case of mistaken identity; it’s a frameup; Ford is smoking crack. If either of the first two possibilities are true, does it not seem likely that an innocent politician would not just deny and denounce, but would be screaming for the police to get to the truth of the matter, right from the get go? Ford’s prolonged silence on the matter would be an appropriate response if indeed he has been captured on video. He could not be prosecuted on the basis of a video alone, so hunkering down until the media move on would be common sense. Then again, maybe he’s entirely innocent and just doing what his lawyer has advised. The problem for all Canadians now is that, innocent or not, Ford has become the target of U.S. comedians. The “bits” are funny, but the laughter has a hollow ring. It’s a joke like this that gives citizens a reason not to vote.

Aiming to build a more welcoming community

Editor: When we were in the planning stages of the Immigrant Business Fair held earlier this month, it seemed fitting that this event should be the launch of our new initiative, the Welcoming Communities Program. Now that we have had time to reflect on feedback received from both exhibitors and attendees, we know it was. I am writing to thank the 27 exhibitors that participated in the fair and came with enthusiasm and anticipation. In a truly international event that showcased products and services from around the world, immigrants demonstrated the contribution they are making to the local economy and their eagerness to establish themselves here in Chilliwack. I also want to thank all those who showed their support by attending the fair for without you the exhibitors would not have had an audience. Under theWelcoming Communities Program aim to build a more welcoming and inclusive environment, a committee made up of local public and private organizations will be working on several more projects over the next 10 months. Guiding the group is its vision“to create awareness of services for newcomers in Chilliwack and build connections and relationships across the community.” In closing, I want to acknowledge the support and participation in the fair of Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce, Chilliwack Economic Partners Corporation, Skills Connect for

It’s high time we changed our laws Editor: Re: Epic fish fight finally settled in court, ChilliwackTimes, May 21. We are not talking nine years of

battle, we are speaking of a time in which none of us existed. Back in the 1400s and antiquated laws from Sam Steele days. We have one set of laws for newcomers, and another set of laws for aboriginals that are refugees in their own country. Everyone else can hold their heads up high because they are proud to be citizens of this great country. National, provincial, and municipal laws that are government-sanctioned merely follow mindlessly what they are being directed. It’s high time we told the truth and changed our laws. A. L.

as to the reasons why the NDP vote collapsed in the recent election. Newspaper articles reflected on the devious Liberal propaganda that in fact influenced people to worry about the so-called “Socialist hordes at the gates,” where comparisons were made between Adrian Dix and Fidel Castro or Hugo Chavez. One article reminded us that such tactics were first used by W.A.C. Bennett 44 years ago and that such tactics worked then and they did now. You simply put the fear of the NDP into the minds of the electorate, no matter whether or not this fear is based on fact. Someone once said that if you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth. As one Vancouver-area political scientist said, “Fear trumps everything.” However, for this under-handed tactic to work, you need to constantly repeat the big lie over and over again, something that Christy Clark and her team repeated constantly to their own gain. When Adrian Dix tried to take the high road, assuming incorrectly that the citizenry were tired of this old-fashioned negatives in campaigns, he and the NDP suffered the consequences. Fear has apparently replaced the intellect of many voters and we, in British Columbia, will now suffer the effects for four years to come. As the sign chairman for both

Chilliwack/area NDP candidates, I also know that this Liberal hypocrisy has carried over to the sign campaign, where countless NDP signs were vandalized, or completely destroyed by Liberal supporters. You may ask “how do we know that these morons were Liberal supporters?” It’s simple. When dozens of NDP signs are spray painted with obsenities or broken up and nearby adjacent Liberal signs go undamaged, it is obvious. Such idiots should be charged with willful destruction of private property. Such BC Liberal activities of course go contrary to any “Christian” principles or to any other religious dogma. However, many local Liberal supporters also claim to hold “Christian principles”. Do they also support such hypocritical activities? After 47 years of volunteer work for the NDP, I have seen countless similar works that emanate from people who claim to hold Christian principles. I strongly suggest that Jesus himself would not condone such evil activities. The question is: “Why do you?” You have now elected a government run by the “evil capitalist hordes,” who are not just at the “gates,” they have entered the city and we will face four years of wanton destruction of everything that is good and decent.

sn’t the Bible just a bunch of fairy tales riddled with contradictions and historical errors, written by men who simply wanted to push their own opinions on others?” I’ve heard that question a thousand times and a hundred different ways throughout my life. People often form their opinions regarding the credibility of the Bible with a different standard than they would in regards to other historical literature. It’s not surprising that the Bible creates strong opinions (as we’ve seen surfaced in our community regarding Bibles in schools as well as in the current letters to the editor). I simply think that if we are going to express an opinion about the Bible, we should

Is the Bible credible? at the very least hold the Bible to the same standard that we hold other historical documents too. So, let me give you one of the most compelling reasons why the Bible can be trusted as accurate, reliable and credible. The first test for gauging the reliability of any historical document is to look at the manuscript evidence. Now this is important because it’s often argued that the Bible cannot be trusted because we don’t have any of the originals. However, it’s very rare to have any originals of documents that are as old as the Bible. That’s why manuscripts are so important to bring-

sar’s work is 900 years. Herodotus and Plato are about 1,300 years. Some of the earliest copies of the New Testament are only 35 years removed from the original, proving that it surpasses the expectations for credibility. Now, I know many people have problems with the content of the Bible. They find it hard to accept the miracles, the violence, and the claims of Jesus. However, those concerns cannot be argued based upon a lack of credibility. As we have seen, the Bible meets and exceeds secular standards for credibility. If that’s true then let’s make sure our criticism (which the Bible can handle) is based on the fact that it is a credible historical text.

but when it comes to the Bible people cry “untrustworthy!” Yet the manuscript evidence is staggering regarding the Bible. For example, the New Testament alone has over 5,000 complete copies in its original language (Koine Greek) and if you include other language copies that number grows to over 25,000. The second piece of manuscript evidence is to identify the time gap between the date of the original and the earliest copy. The closer the copy is to the original the better because it leaves less time for scribes to make errors or omissions. The gap of time between the original and earliest copy of Cae-

ing credibility to any ancient text. A manuscript is a copy of an original document and the more copies you have the better. The main reason this is important is because you can compare the copies, looking for similarities or glaring differences. For example, if three copies say, “The sky was overcast” and one copy says, “The sky was clear” you would tend to trust the three copies in agreement. To put it into perspective we have no originals of Plato’s writings. There are nine copies of Julius Caesar’s Gallic Wars and eight copies of Herodotus’ History. No one questions the credibility of these texts,

Will wage war on pipeline BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

ome Fraser Valley Regional District directors expressed outright opposition Tuesday to Kinder Morgan’s proposed oil pipeline twinning project. Director Bill MacGregor—an Abbotsford city councillor—went so far as to say the company had a war on its hands. “I am definitely opposed to this,” MacGregor told Trans Mountain Expansion Project director Greg Toth. “I think we are in for a war.” Toth was at the FVRD meeting to present on Kinder Morgan’s $5.4-billion proposal to nearly triple the capacity of the 60-year-old Trans Mountain pipeline from 300,000 barrels per day (bpd) to 890,000 bpd. The pipeline runs 1,150 kilometres from Edmonton to the Westridge Terminal in Burnaby. Critics of the project point to a number of oil spills in recent years, including one in 2007 in Burnaby that sprayed oil into a residential community and one at the Sumas Mountain tank farm in 2012. Lynn Perrin and Michael Hale of local antipipeline activist group PIPE UP spoke as a delegation to the board before Toth on Tuesday. The two expressed concern about the 76 spills that have occurred along the pipeline over the years, and specifically their issues with the danger of a spill of diluted bitumen into waterways or the aquifer. On this topic, MacGregor asked Toth about a 2005 spill into a wetland and Kilgaard Creek. “In Sumas area there is a great concern,” MacGregor said. “We have already had a couple of alarming incidents up on the mountain

with Kinder Morgan and their track record is not that good.” Also of concern to directors is the route of the pipeline through the Fraser Valley, something the company has said is not yet certain. Area D (Popkum/Bridal Falls) director Bill Dickey asked about the route the company planned through his community, particularly in light of Kinder Morgan’s request to survey the Cheam Lake Wetlands, a 107-hectare park just to the east of the City of Chilliwack. Dickey also suggested that young families had purchased homes in Area D and the pipeline twinning was causing them “a lot of angst.” “This isn’t the 1950s any more,” Dickey told Toth. “These are really valuable properties and there is no reason these people should bear the cost of this project.” Toth said the company’s pipeline runs through 2,200 private properties and they were consulting with all concerned. “At this point we don’t have a set route that we can hang our hat on,” he said. Toth said the company prefers to utilize the right-of-way already in place, however, the company recognizes the concern and inconvenience this may cause. In one short stretch through Chilliwack, for example, the pipeline runs under the school yard at Watson elementary and through approximately two dozen backyards of homes on Roseberry and Montcalm roads. Chilliwack residents will get an idea of where the expanded pipeline might run through the city soon, as the company will provide information on the expansion study corridor on June 18 on its website at www.transmountain.com.

‘So close’ just not close enough

BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

t was a bittersweet start to the season for Chilliwack whitewater slalom kayaker Jazmyne Denhollander last weekend. The 19-year-old captured top spot in women’s under-23 K1 at the Canadian

National Team Trials in Minden, Ont., last weekend and punched her ticket to the U23 World Championships in Slovenia in July. But she fell less than one percentage point short of the performance benchmark for the senior national team and a chance to compete at the senior World Championships in September.

“It was quite disheartening being so close and not getting it,” Denhollander told the Times. She and her fellow competitors battled massive flows at the Minden Wildwater Perserve because of heavy rainfalls in the area the week before.

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

Sports KRAEMER, from page 1 the Jackrabbits then rattled off a pair of victories to find themselves facing their South Dakota State rivals Sunday. The Jackrabbits needed to beat South Dakota twice in a row. A loss and they were done. The first game was a tight affair. Kraemer, who has primarily pitched as a reliever, started throwing in the bullpen in the second half of the game. He threw and he threw and he threw some more, but with the Jackrabbits’ Kolton Emery on a roll, never got called onto the field. A 2-0 win, though, meant another game for the Jackrabbits. And this time, with South Dakota in a position to advance to their first NCAA tournament, the start went to Kraemer. Palpable pressure to win There was a time, in those months after first arriving in Brookings, S.D., when Kraemer might have pitched fearfully. There is plenty on the line for all concerned when it comes to American college athletics. Universities employ coaches and athletic directors whose directive is to win, and whose salaries are dependent on the performances of their players. “There was a palpable pressure to win that kind of shocked me,” the sardis secondary grad said of his introduction to the system. “The fear of failure was always in the back of your head.” Getting past that fear took the left-hander years. He came to the college as a starter, but with just a fastball “and a big loopy curveball.” Two years ago, a new head coach moved him to the bullpen. And gradually, as he ditched the curveball in favour of a slider and added a change-up to his repertoire, he said he “learned how to miss bats.” That process helped toughen the young pitcher. Bad baseball players don’t get selected to play Division 1 ball in the states. So it can be tough to suddenly find yourself stacked up against similarly talented players, and not always succeeding. “It can challenge you mentally,” Kraemer said. “I think I’ve learned to find a way to be successful.” Not much time to think about the stakes Kraemer had expected to pitch for two or three innings in the first game Sunday. But with Emery going longer than expected, it was suddenly up to Kraemer to start the Jackrabbits off on the right foot in the championship game. “I didn’t really have that much time to prepare,” Kraemer said. “There was 35 minutes in between games, which I think was good for everybody. I didn’t want to think about it too much. “It’s still baseball so you just try to approach it like any other time you’ve taken the mound.”

Surreal moment That approach—or lack thereof—seemed to work. The Jackrabbits scored in the first inning, in part due to the opposing pitcher’s wild arm. That gave Kraemer and his teammates all the run support they would need. After not allowing a hit through three and a third innings, Kraemer gave up a double in the fourth but got the side out without further trouble. In the fifth inning, he allowed a pair of hits and hit a batter. But a double play and a fly ball again allowed him to escape without allowing a run. Kraemer allowed another two hits in the sixth inning and was replaced with one out. The trouble was again cleaned up courtesy of a double play. “The defence that everybody played behind me was phenomenal,”Kraemer said. “I was lucky enough to have the opportunity.” North Dakota would strand two more batters as the Jackrabbits squeaked out a narrow win that had Kraemer and company savouring a long-awaited championship. In Kraemer’s first two years in South Dakota, his team twice fell in the conference final. “It proved so elusive,” he said. “To actually do it and put in all the work, and to wake up and do all the early morning workouts and put in all the hours it requires, after four years, it feels validated now because [we] finally did it. “I can’t think of something that meant more to the people around me and myself.” The moments after the game ended were surreal for Kraemer and his teammates. “You feel like a kid, I don’t know how to explain it,” he said. “The fact that we actually did it; words couldn’t describe the happiness.” Hoping to pursue a law degree Kraemer’s time in South Dakota, and likely his baseball career, is nearing its end. Having graduated in the spring with a major in political science, he hopes to pursue a law degree. He has already been accepted to several schools, but must first save enough money to continue his education. But those are thoughts for another day. On Friday, Kraemer and his fellow Jackrabbits will be in Eugene, Ore., where they will take on the Oregon Ducks in the double-knockout Eugene Regional, the first stage of the NCAA Division I tournament. Kraemer said he hopes the heavily favoured Ducks look past the lower-ranked Jackrabbits. Kraemer said his team’s pitching, and particularly its ace and closer, will help level the field with powerhouses like Oregon. “It’ll be fun to get out there and see how we stack up against some quality teams,” he said. “We have some really quality arms so I think . . . we can win against any given team. “I hope Oregon takes the win for granted.”

“It was the highest that that river’s ever been [when] a race has been there,” Denhollander said. “It was very challenging.” To earn a spot on the senior national team, she had four chances to get within 123 per cent of the best total score recorded by any eligible Canadian Team Trials competitor (usually at the senior men’s level). Her last run came in at 123.98 per cent. “I’m content with my runs,” Denhollander said, “but I’m frustrated that I was so close to making the team and unfortunately did not.” All is not lost, though, as the she will get one last

very day, Monday to Friday, the Chilliwack Lawn Bowling Club bustles with activity—as it has for more than 90 years. The Chilliwack Lawn Bowling Club began in 1922 and, a year later, moved to its current Edward Street location. Lawn bowls, as the game is called, resembles curling, with participants throwing balls weighted on one side towards a smaller, white jack. The weights make the balls curve, which creates a game of precision and strategy. “There’s quite a lot of skill involved in it,” said Alan Legg, who first started lawn bowling in as a teenager in the United Kingdom. Legg also enjoys the game’s social aspect, which gets a boost from the tea and coffee break players take midway through. Bowling takes place May to September at the following days and times: Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9:30 a.m.; Saturday at 10 a.m.; Sunday at 2 p.m.; Tuesday and Thursday at 6:45 p.m. ◗ The club is always looking for new members. For more info, stop by the clubhouse, phone June at 604824-6628, or look up the club on Facebook.

Its all just theory until it happens to you personally.

Ken Goudswaard/TIMES

One of the club’s oldest members, Don Buchanan, 91, prepares to roll.

Last week, after getting home from work my wife asked me to have a look at our Morkie named Filou. The kids thought that they saw a tick. Sure enough, when I parted the hair on his neck, there was the little, black, bloodsucker burrowed deeply into his skin. So what did I do? Exactly what I tell my clients not to do. I impatiently tried to pull it backwards and then when I twisted it a bit, it happened….. Pop! Off came the body and I could still see the vulgar body parts that were left behind. It has been a bad tick season. I must have already removed a half dozen ticks so far this spring (correctly, at the clinic).The latest edition of Veterinary Practice News that I read has an ominous article on the front page entitled “Time Bombtick populations will explode in many areas of the country experts predict”. So, its important to remind everyone about prevention, removal and the diseases ticks carry. The internet is a great resource, but be careful what you read. My technician tells a story about a case that came into the clinic that she used to work at in Manitoba. The dog had a tick and the owner read on the computer that pouring alcohol on the tick would make it back out. When that didn’t work, she read that heating it with a match would definitely work. That poor dog required intensive care to heal its severe burn wound. Every year I write an articles on ticks. I’ll just summarize a few important points. A. Check for ticks every time you come back from a walk. If you have them removed right away, not only are they easier to remove, you don’t have to worry about Lyme disease. It takes longer than 12 hours for the tick to transmit Lyme to your dog. B. Think prevention. There is a great product on the market that you can get from any veterinarian called Advantix. It kills ticks (as well as fleas). There is also a vaccine against Lyme disease for those dogs that spend a lot of time in the woods or grasslands. C. If a tick is imbedded in your dog’s skin, take a deep breath and go slow. Use a pair of tweezers to firmly grab the head right at the skin. Gently and slowly pull it straight back. It eventually will come off. If you happen to pull the body off, don’t try digging the head out. The dog’s body will eventually eliminate it like a thorn; place some polysporin on it to keep it from getting infected. If it bothers the dog, gets infected or bothers you, then bring the dog into the clinic and we will freeze the area with lidocaine and remove it completely and safely. D. Make sure it is actually a tick. We have had a few cases lately where owners thought their dog had a tick and it turned out to be a skin tag. Imagine the pain a dog would experience trying to pull those off…..ouch. Ticks are disgusting, a bit mysterious and very annoying to you and your dog. Don’t get ticked off; don’t let them stress you out and ruin your spring/ summer walks. Be informed, be prepared, be proactive.

SCHOOLS CMS 100TH OPEN HOUSE

Cornelia Naylor/TIMES

Former students from as far back as the 1940s were among the crowd at Chilliwack middle school’s 100 Year Celebration Tuesday night. Originally Chilliwack high school, the first school on the CMS site first opened its doors on May 28, 1913, and the school marked the anniversary with a well-attended open house Tuesday. The event featured addresses by newly elected Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness, school board chair Walt Krahn and School District No. 23 superintendent Evelyn Novak as well as the launch of a commemorative book put together with help from the Chilliwack Museum and Archives.

heat and electricity. Since then, Gaetz thinks the entire waste-to-energy approval process has been flawed and that building such a facility flies in the face of Metro’s own mandate. While Metro pushes ahead with incineration, it faces opposition from diverse circles. Fraser Valley municipalities and the FVRD are staunchly opposed, as is former Chilliwack MLA John Les, and new BC Liberal MLAs John Martin and Laurie Throness.

Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz, have long opposed Metro’s consideration of an incinerator to burn its garbage saying the increase in air pollution is a threat to the local community. Back in 2011, Gaetz held a press conference at which she expressed anger at Environment Minister Terry Lake’s decision to approve Metro Vancouver’s solid waste management plan (SWMP), which includes the proposal to build a garbage incinerator to burn 500,000 tonnes of the region’s trash annually and generate

A third piece Massie, Toth and Baumann would like to explore during their first year on the Richardson Road property is a rotating cash vegetable crop that would act as both a teaching tool and a fundraising venture for the program, much like the school’s widely successful Mother’s Day Plant Sale, which sees the sale of plants students have raised in the school’s greenhouse. “Really, we’re hoping what Richardson Road does is allow us to extend our classroom,” Massie told trustees Tuesday. “We’re going to get these kids out of their seats, out of the theoretical, and get their hands dirty, get planting crops, planting gardens and really learn, hands-on, how to do things.”

Massie, Toth and Baumann now intend to transform the propertyintoastudent-driven show farm, where Chilliwack students from kindergarten to Grade 12 can learn more about agriculture and where their food comes from. One of the first steps will be a partnership between Sardis and local elementary and middle schools on school garden plots. “This is a way of connecting our students with elementary schools and middle schools in the district and allowing for students to just start to plant and watch things grow,” Toth said. UnderBaumann’sdirection, another part of the land will be planted in different varieties of raspberries, blueberries, strawberries and elderberries for research purposes. Those plots will serve the dual purpose of improving

ctor David Cameron returns to his hometown of Chilliwack next week to perform American playwright Glen Berger’s widely acclaimed play Underneath The Lintel. Underneath the Lintel is a one-man show telling the strange-yet-funny tale of a Dutch librarian who finds a book that has been returned 113 years overdue. Unable to let the perpetrator get away with the crime, he sets off on a worldwide pursuit of a seemingly immortal library scofflaw. Part mystery, part comedy with a good dash of history and philosophy thrown in, Underneath The Lintel is a powerfully entertaining and thought-provoking story. Cameron lives on Bowen Lisland now, but his formal introduction to theatre began in Chilliwack as a student in the drama department at Chilliwack secondary, where he first attended a summer workshop put on by drama teacher Ray Logie and his wife Jane.

Actor David Cameron brings one-man show back to his hometown

SCAN FOR TICKETS Submitted photo

Former Chilliwack resident David Cameron brings the widely acclaimed one-man show Underneath the Lintel to town June 7 and 8.

“I later took all the classes offered by Dale Johnson, the new drama teacher at CSS,” Cameron said. “Mr. Johnson was an excellent teacher. He had a New York sensibility about getting bums in seats and making sure the audience had a good time. That simple idea of respecting the audience’s experience has stayed with me through my own acting career.” After graduating in 1978, Cameron performed in dinner theatre in Chilliwack, moved on to do a BFA in performance at York University, returning in the summer to perform with the brand-new University College of the Fraser Valley’s very first production I’ll Be Back Before Midnight. Cameron says he got hooked on acting after, as a five-year-old, he cracked up his family on a tour of Christmas lights on Promontory. “Christmas carols were being sung and we were just finishing up ‘Silent Night’: ‘… slee-eep in heavenly peace,’ and from the back seat of the car I tossed out a perfectly timed ‘cha cha cha.’ It killed. The laughter that filled the car also filled my veins like a junkie’s first taste of an opiate. I have chased that dragon ever since.” Underneath the Lintel was the recipient of most outstanding actor by a male by both People Choice award and Adjudicators award judges in Theatre B.C’s North Shore Zone Festival. It also received honourable mentions for best direction, sound design and overall production. ◗ Underneath The Lintel run for three performances at the UFV Theatre at Chilliwack Campus North on June 7 and 8 at 7:30 p.m. and June 9 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15 at the door or online at www.kingbaby.com.

Cascadia Wind Ensemble forms

aking a page from the vibrant and growing music scene of community bands, the newly formed Cascadia Wind Ensemble has been organized for and by the musicians of the Fraser Valley. During the past 50 years the music world has witnessed a new approach to the community concert band that has presented enormous possibilities for wind music concerts. An increasing number of conductors and performers have moved away from the traditional town band style to a more symphonic medium. This is the wind ensemble concept. ”The idea came from Shannon Goldsmith, conductor and musician in several musical groups in the Fraser Valley,” said ensemble member and Chilliwack native Jack Kopstein. “Once her thoughts had been presented, the concept took hold with several musicians from the area. The entire medium of concert band music has grown with major composers having written music especially for the wind ensemble. The repertoire has developed enormously. Moreover Canadian writers such as Howard Cable and Johnny Cowell have added to the mix.” Conductor Shannon Goldsmith remarked: “The Cascadia Wind Ensemble

complement of instruments will include flutes, oboes, clarinets (including bass clarinet), bassoons, saxophones, French horns, trumpets, trombones, euphoniums, tubas and an array of percussion and timpani. My job will be to balance this group to develop the wind ensemble texture, which will contain a symphonic range of dynamics and a great tone quality. Rehearsals have recently begun, and we are planning concerts and community event participation for the ensemble. We are very excited about the potential for this instrumental group, which will perform a wide variety of musical styles.” Goldsmith has extensive experience in both the concert band and symphonic mediums. She performs regularly on French horn with the Chilliwack Metropolitan Orchestra, the Fraser Valley Symphony Orchestra in Abbotsford, and a brass quintet. Capable musicians may contact Goldsmith at cascadiawindensemble@gmail.com or Kopstein at jackkopsteinbso@hotmail.com. ◗ Rehearsal dates are on Thursday nights from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. in Abbotsford (detailed schedule at www. cascadiawindensemble.org).

Two different ways to cook CHEF DEZ

On Cooking barbecue should be of higher importance that your indoor oven/stove because it will be subjected to the elements; even with a cover over it the environment is more humid and wet than anything you use indoors. A grill or barbecue should not be considered a disposable fixture. You should not have to replace it every four to six years. You would never dream of doing that with your indoor oven/stove, so why do you expect to do that with your grill or barbecue? Do your homework by researching all the brands before making your purchasing decision. A gas/propane grill and its components should be made of high grade stainless steel so it resists rusting. Just because you purchased a stainless steel grill, it does not mean that it won’t rust. There are different grades of stainless steel that you need to be aware about. Where was it made? How easy is it to get replacement parts

like burners, etc? What is the warranty? Where is the company located? Call their customer service centre and ask questions. Also search online for unbiased opinions. Ceramic charcoal barbecues are the best choice if you choose to go with charcoal. Their thick ceramic walls help to retain the heat and cook more evenly and consistently, but they are not all made the same. Just because it is ceramic does not necessarily mean quality. Again, do your research. There are definitely less parts to a charcoal barbecue, but you still want to make sure that you are buying one that will last a lifetime—yes, I did say a lifetime. With a highquality ceramic barbecue, this is not out of the question. Ease of use will obviously go to a gas grill—it’s instant on, and instant off, but flavour of food will always go to charcoal. However, after cooking with propane my whole adult life I just recently purchased my first charcoal barbecue and the learning curve of using it was actually very small. Whichever outdoor cooking appliance you go with, I stress the words of your parents that haunted you for all of your childhood school days: “Do your homework.”

epending on the climate in the area you live in, your outdoor cooking season has just started, you have already been doing it for a while now, or you have never stopped. Although many home chefs have been utilizing propane or natural gas as their main fuel to satisfy their outdoor grilling needs, charcoal is making a significant comeback. Now before I go any further, grilling is to cook with gas/propane, while barbecue is to cook with charcoal/ wood. I have to admit that I now own both: a propane grill and a charcoal barbecue. I believe that there is a time and a place for both, but if you are in the market for a new outdoor cooker as your main source of grilled/barbecued food, which do you choose? Before I get into the differences of your two obvious choices, I must stress that the quality of equipment should be your first concern. I hear of so many people purchasing equipment at big box stores just because the price is right. Your outdoor cooking appliance is a significant purchase and should not be looked upon differently than the purchase of a new oven/stove for your kitchen. If anything, quality in an outdoor grill/
