A SHOW of FAITH

John Les, Gwen O’Mahony giving serious thought to running this fall

A former Historymaker attendee produces documentary that sheds light on the darker corners of massive Pentecostal youth gathering Despite his lack of belief in the general tenets of Pentecostalism or Christianity at all, he said he was never totally able to rationalize away some of the things he saw 10 years prior to making the documentary. His memories of Historymaker periodically and quietly tested his atheism. “My family are still Charismatic Christians,” Fenn told the Times. “I think they got their hopes up a little bit with me doing this story was showing an interest in the faith.” He returned to Historymaker with a lack of faith, but with the avowed objectivity of a documentarian. “I wanted to try to remain as open as possible,” he said. Fenn said he was by far the

oldest person there, at least among those wandering on the floor at Prospera. Up on stage there is always an array of high-profile Pentecostal preachers, touring speakers and musical acts. This year’s headliners include: Martin Smith, former singer for Christian worship band Delirious?; Banning Liebscher of Jesus Culture, a California youth movement; Andy Moore of Glad Tidings Church in Victoria; and former Harlem Globetrotter Lefty Williams. Last year, the headliner was Eric Samuel Timm, an American Christian speaker/artist for hire who is so popular, he is booked years in advance. Timm is a powerful speaker engaged in precise theatre { See FAITH, page A4 }

hilliwack residents will have a chance to elect a new city council six months from today and, for the first time in six years, maybe a new mayor. Two high-profile names with experience in elected office are considering a run for the top job at city hall—a job popular Mayor Sharon Gaetz won by acclamation in 2011. How does Mayor Gwen O’Mahony sound? Or maybe Mayor John Les? Both O’Mahony and Les confirmed to the Times this week the truth to the persistent rumour that they are pondering a run for mayor. “I have been talking to community members and I have been asked by a number of people if I was interested in running for mayor,” O’Mahony said Monday. O’Mahony served for a year as NDP MLA for the Chilliwack-Hope riding. She won a byelection in April 2012 forced when longtime BC Liberal MLA Barry Penner stepped down. O’Mahony beat Liberal candidate { See MAYOR, page A3 }

housands of young Charismatic Christians will descend on Chilliwack this weekend to encounter God, get spiritually motivated and, just maybe, have a life-changing experience. The annual Pentecostal youth rally Historymaker is back at Prospera Centre for the second year in a row. There will be smiles and there will be tears. There will be worship song and there will be psychological counselling. There will be believers and there will be skeptics. Many will witness seemingly supernatural phenomena:

speaking in tongues, divine prophecies received from God, and spontaneous healing. But according to former Charismatic Christian Sam Fenn, there will also be theatrical stage presentations, highly-paid guests following precise timelines, and counselling sessions where homophobia and sexist views are espoused. Fenn attended Historymaker 2013 here in Chilliwack where he recorded audio for a documentary he produced as part of a radio program called The Terry Project on CiTR at the University of British Columbia. The visit was a return for the 27-year-old who, since his attendance at Historymaker in 2003 as a 17-year-old, has become an atheist.

{ FAITH, from page A1 } on stage. That theatre, his presentation, involved changing lives, leaving teenagers in tears after talking about very serious subjects. “With Eric Samuel Timm, he really left people out there weeping and having just confessed to strangers, untrained strangers, that they had been suicidal,” Fenn said. What Fenn witnessed was, among other things, 19-year-olds basically trying to help 14-yearolds deal with suicidal tendencies. But it was Timm’s backstage standoffishness, and his hurry to get out of the building after his performance that bothered Fenn. The notion of theatre may seem obvious to a non-churchgoer, but Fenn said one of the strongest responses to his documentary was the large clock backstage that helped to keep everything running smoothly and on time. Growing up in the Vineyard, going to church on a Sunday, Fenn said you couldn’t tell people you’d be free at 2 or 3 or 4 or even 5 p.m. The gatherings were intentionally left open-ended in case there was some spontaneous moving of the spirit or some supernatural event. “A couple of Christians said they wouldn’t send youth groups to Historymaker just because of that clock,” Fenn said. “It’s a well-run show and it’s manipulative in a way that a Coldplay concert is manipulative.” But for an avowed atheist, all churches, led by a pastor of some kind, must have a sense of theatre to them. What’s wrong with that? For Fenn, the difference is that in, for example, Catholicism, there is no question about who has the power and who is in charge. With charismatic Christians, the whole process is a lot more “horizontal.” Those mentoring others and teaching the supposed truths of the Bible come across as friends, peers. Unlike in Catholicism where the Pope, the Cardinals, the Archbishops have a closer access to God, in Pentecostalism everyone has equal access. And this makes manipulation that much more simpler, especially with young people. To illustrate this, Fenn said he knows some men that use the faith as a pickup line. “My brother shared with me that he’s trying to date women in the church right now. He told

Backstage clock keeps everything running smoothly me that some of the girls he’s thinking of asking out have been told by multiple men they have told [the girls] that the audible voice of God is telling them they are meant to be with one another.” Then there is the overt homophobia and sexism, something Fenn says was actually “way worse 10 years ago.” Ten years ago there was a petition circulated to ban gay marriage and resist marriage equality. “Back then nobody was beating around the bush,” he said, adding that it was said that “homosexuality is an abomination and a sin.” In 2013, the homophobia was evident if less obvious. Young teens were taught that homosexuality results from not feeling beautiful. As for the sexism, young women were encouraged not to be too forward, to always wait for a boy to ask them out on a date. Then there is the theatricality with music building up slowly behind impassioned preachers, smoke machines billowing with rock show lighting the scene, all, remember, under the presumption that this is about making a personal connection to Jesus. So is it all a show? “Yeah, it’s a magic trick that everybody has a reason to believe in, including the magicians,” Fenn said. “I don’t think the preachers are, for the most part, charlatans. I don’t think they are snake oil salesman. I think they believe in this. They have found a way to rationalize away the fact that they need very, very scripted prompts and emotionally manipulative music to make the magic happen.” Despite his experiences, and despite the lack of answers in the documentary from organizers about his concerns, Fenn doesn’t think the Pentecostal leaders and Historymaker organizers don’t want to be questioned. He thinks many of them are genuinely too busy, and while he certainly got the cold shoulder from Timm, Fenn thinks that’s because the man has had negative press before and “sniffed out” that Fenn was “secular press.” The Times sent a number of emails over the months to Langley-based Next Generation Ministries, which runs Historymaker, but they were not responded to. Pastor Jay McAlister of First Avenue Christian Assembly whose church is connected to the ministry behind Historymaker,

“Yeah, it’s a magic trick that everybody has a reason to believe in, including the magicians.” - Terry Fenn told the Times he hadn’t listened to the documentary. But when asked about the clock and the theatrical nature of the program, he said it is a

challenge to do things professionally while keeping an organic feel to the event. “It would also be interesting to know if any of

those young people in tears were upset by the speaker leaving after,” he said via email. “While Sam may have found that troubling I wonder if others in attendance did. I don’t know how it played out as I wasn’t there but I didn’t hear any negatives from those I know were in attendance.” Vern Tompke of Chilliwack Vineyard Church in

Chilliwack listened to the documentary and said he found it a “fascinating and well done radio piece,” and a great “on ramp” to talk about the subject. Tompke did suggest that what goes on at Historymaker may seem like a trip to a foreign land for an outsider, but that doesn’t mean it’s so unusual.

“[It’s] certainly different than going to a club or music festival or benefit concert which also have their own cultures, which is so ‘normal’ nobody seems to question,” he said. ◗ Historymaker runs May 16 to 18 at Prospera Centre.

Yarrow sports field will open this fall . . . they promise! BY DESSA BAYROCK Special to the Times

hen the brand-new, rebuilt Yarrow community school opened its doors in August 2012, the sports fields out back were one of the few things left needing attention. A year later, the school district found itself still running into issues with the fields; while one section was ready, another wouldn’t be available in time for the beginning of the 2013/14 school year as planned. “The district has recognized that it

Gravel all-weather field simply not cutting it anymore

would be better to do more work on that field,” principal Nathan Ngi-eng told the Times in spring of 2013. Yet another year later, that portion of the field is still not ready— although the school board estimates it will be available in June and “absolutely” finished by September. “The Yarrow [field] we’d hoped to have done by May, so we’re a wee bit behind but not by much,” Chilliwack school district secretary-treasurer Gerry Slykhuis told the Times

this week. He notes that while the fields weren’t completely ready for this school year, Yarrow has gravel all-weather field for the kids to use, as well as the option to bus to other Chilliwack school fields. “Any time you replace an existing school on the same site there’s obviously a bit of disruption for the kids,” Slykhuis says. The continuing issue of the field comes into sharp focus every spring

with the school’s annual sports day. “They haven’t had a sports field there for four years at Yarrow community school, and they’re not going to have one again this year for sports day,” says parent Rich Geschke, whose daughter attends the school. “My kid’s in grade four and she’s been at that school her whole time and they never get to play in the field . . . it’s kind of unfair that the kids have to go four years at their new school without a sports field.”

Brian Minter, left, and Lisa Minter, right hold a bouquet similar to one that they delivered to a customer’s house in Chilliwack on Mother’s Day. The balloons managed to break free and were sent adrift by the wind. A farm in Albany, Oregon contacted the garden saying they had their balloons with the card still attached a couple days later.

Mother’s Day gift floats 600 km across border BY STEPHANIE IP The Province

hose who think flowers are overdone on Mother’s Day should perhaps consider a balloon bouquet instead next year—just make sure they stay put. That’s a lesson Phyllis Beauchene’s son learned the hard way this year. Beauchene’s son and daughter-in-law live in Japan, where he is teaching. This year for Mother’s Day, the couple placed an order by phone with a local flower shop for a balloon bouquet to be sent to Beauchene’s Chilliwack home. However, the mom wasn’t going to be home on Saturday when the bouquet was scheduled to arrive, so she told the flower shop to leave them on her porch. Little did she know, the helium-filled balloons would get impatient and embark on an adventure of their own. Just as the delivery guy placed the balloons on the porch, strong winds picked up two of the balloons, and lifted them up and away. Then a day later, around 6:30 p.m. on Mother’s Day, Pam Derrickson and her husband spotted the balloons glinting in the evening sun, out in a field on their small farm—near Albany, Oregon. They instantly hopped on a four-wheeler to retrieve them, not wanting their cows to get curious, and possibly hungry. The two balloons, emblazoned with

colourful graphics proclaiming “Happy Mother’s Day”, had travelled nearly 600 kilometres across the U.S.-Canada border, a journey that takes about seven hours in a car. “The card was still stuck in the plastic holder,” Derrickson told the Albany Democrat-Herald. “It has the name of the woman who was to receive them and the shop that took them to her.” The Derricksons contacted Minter Country Garden, who delivered the bouquet, and were told the balloons had been intended for Beauchene in Chilliwack. Lisa Minter, whose parents own the flower shop and garden, said it was her mom that answered the phone call from Oregon on Monday and learned of the long-distance delivery. “How in the heck did they get that far?” Minter said of the errant delivery, one of about 170 that went out on Saturday. “That was just my first thought. Most people (we’ve told) are just incredulous.” Minter said the delivery guy notified the flower shop as soon as he spotted the balloons floating away, and they were able to replace them the same day. But according to Minter, if anyone could appreciate such a quirky story, it’s Beauchene, who is also a regular customer at Minter Country Garden. “She’s a hoot,” Minter said. “It was one of those situations where that was the perfect person for it to happen to. - with files from the Albany Democrat-Herald

Geschke explains that in the absence of a field, the children use the gravel all-weather field for activities or the nearby path along the dike for runs—neither of which are particularly forgiving surfaces to trip and fall on. However, Slykhuis emphasizes the Yarrow school’s fields haven’t been usable since even before the 2012 rebuild, and the situation is improving—no matter how slowly. “Even before the new school was built, not even the municipality would use those fields,” he says. “They just weren’t that good.”

here are many things to which the old adage “Be careful what you wish for . . .” applies and American television coverage is usually one of them. But after the venerated television newsmagazine show 60 Minutes turned its cameras on the salmon farming industry on the coast of British Columbia and on the Campbell River area particularly, the conclusion has to be . . . OK. The report which aired on the CBS network Sunday was generally a balanced overview of the industry and it’s impact on wild salmon. British Columbians and, certainly, Campbell Riverites would have seen nothing new or groundbreaking in the report. The “usual suspects” were trotted out to give the debate a face: the controversial Alexandra Morton and the articulate Ian Roberts. Both personalities put forward their positions clearly. Getting a glowing comparison was the State of Alaska which banned salmon farming 25 years ago, opting instead to go with salmon ranching—raising fish in a hatchery and releasing them into the wild to return on their own and be harvested by commercial fishermen. The result, 60 Minutes said, is a healthy wild fishery in Alaska compared to B.C.’s. which is apparently devastated. Our wild fishery is facing challenges but it’s not devastated, especially when you compare it to the Lower 48 states where it truly is devastated. The controversial points about salmon ranching were not touched on either.

No known cure for pedanticitus

y friend and former colleague Cornelia Naylor is suffering from a tragic condition with

no cure. On Sunday I exchanged texts with her as the two of us are training for a half marathon and that day we had to run 21 kilometres. She said the run was tough on her as she had no water and it was 19C out. I responded: “You should have drank from the river!” Her response to me? “Drunk. Geez! I’m gone a couple of weeks and your grammar goes all to hell.” Drink. Drank. Drunk. You see, Cornelia, an otherwise beam of sunshine, suffers from an undiagnosed condition. It’s called pedanticitus and it may just kill her. I fear for her blood pressure or that she’ll bring on an aneurysm after someone says “I ran less times this week than last.” “Fewer!!!!” she will exclaim. (Yes, too many exclamation points.) Pedanticitus is not in the DSM IV and

PAUL J. HENDERSON @peejayaitch doctors aren’t recognizing it, but it can cause hardships to be sure. Relationships can be shattered, and otherwise civil discussions can disintegrate into personal attacks. Cornelia’s particular fetish is the less/ fewer distinction, one that is all too lost on many people. Sportscasters are particularly afflicted. I may write for a living, but I concede my grammar needs work. I too, however, suffer from mild bouts of pedanticitus. “How are you doing?” one might ask. “Good,” is the response, causing me to die a little on the inside. You might feel “good” but you are doing “well.” So who cares? Wordsmiths tore each up a little bit recently south of the border when, akin

to the less/fewer issue, the Associated Press Stylebook editors decided that “over” is now fine when referring to a quantity. Writers and editors are no longer required to use “more than” in that instance. “More than my dead body!” exclaimed one scribe on Twitter. “This is over I can bear,” said another. The change was made by AP editors based on common usage. As in, it was used incorrectly for so long that editors finally gave up correcting it. Or, the other argument goes, this is how language evolves. There are two sides and a lot of grey area in between. Prescriptivists, like Bridge Grogan who commented on the story on the Poynter Institute’s website, just won’t have it. “Doesn’t fly with me. I will continue to teach my students to use ‘more than’. Common usage is the excuse? A lot of people are doing it wrong, so we will too? Sigh…” Descriptivists like Grant Cooper says language and science each have rules, rules that must change as time goes on.

“The pedantic scribe class, to which I and many of us belong, tends to quibble and protest these changes, despite the futility of the resistance. The shore resists the waves, yet it will eventually yield.” A further argument for the descriptivists is that English used to be a lot more complicated. “Verrily! Thou hast spoken truth. Thine anger is well-served. Wroth do I grow, to see my tongue so besmirched. Language changes, get used to it,” said one commenter (who spelled verily wrong). And does it really matter to the classes of social media users who type and communicate with such speed that punctuation, spelling and proper word use go out the window? You want grammar too? LOL. As the years go on, and social media takes over, fewer of us will likely suffer from pedanticitus. Maybe there is hope for Cornelia, but I can picture her, 20 years hence, head in hands, with less patience than ever and fewer days left on this mortal coil. More than? Over her dead body.

Another successful sr. bursary dinner Editor: A special thank you to everyone who attended the Seniors Bursary Dinner at Chilliwack secondary on Wednesday, May 7. We had another sold out crowd and very much appreciate and thank you for supporting these two events in May and December. The Grand Hall was beautifully decorated in black and white. Everyone arrived early and much socializing seemed to be happening. Teaching Chef Terry McDougall, Chef Sharon Touchet, Judith Booker and Christine Cutajar are to be commended for preparing a delcious chicken dinner topped with seafood thermidor with all the trimmings which was served to us by the culinary arts students and many student volunteers. Again thank you for a job well done. Thelma Schwandt on behalf of the Committee

Need to support local music scene Editor: Calling out to all Chilliwack indie music lovers, specifically those who enjoy Jian Ghomeshi and The Drive on CBC Radio2 with Rich Terfry. There is something you need to know about and support—The Acoustic Emporium. These guys are doing something in our small town that is usually only enjoyed by people living in big cities—they’re bringing in young, talented bands in a unique and intimate setting. Downtown needs more life. We do have a couple of great restaurants, in Rustica’s and Bravo, and adding this venue to the list of things to do in downtown Chilliwack is a huge bonus. So check them out at www.acousticemporium.com for upcoming shows—a bargain at only 10 bucks. Get off the couch and away from

the big screen and come out and help make The Acoustic Emporium a permanent fixture in the Chilliwack nightlife scene. Paul Elsey Chilliwack

No to pipelines, and no to tankers Editor: Having read both columns by David Black and understood his reasoning, I can see that his suggested solution is the best option I’ve heard of, short of cancelling the whole idea of pipelines and tankers altogether. I can’t see that happening in today’s business climate, with both federal and provincial governments pushing for acceptance of the idea. However, when I read the editorial by Greg Stringham, from the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, I immediately recalled the suggestion by Kinder Morgan that a pipeline spill would actually be good for business, because it would give clean up crews a chance to make some money which would benefit the economy of the area. That’s like suggesting that you burn your house down so that the firemen have work to do and that would contribute to the economy in wages, supplies, etc. It is illogical, at the very least. It also is an example of the arrogance of the oil companies and their spinoffs, like pipelines, tankers, etc. Mr. Stringham can spout all the scientific jargon he likes, diluted bitumen is a dangerous substance and should not be anywhere near our coastlines. A spill of this stuff, whether inland from a pipeline, or even worse, a tanker accident is a major threat to health and to the environment. No matter how you slice it, if an accident can happen, it will. So far big oil and big government have not convinced me, or I dare say, the majority of Canadians that they are telling the truth about these things. No, no pipelines. No, no tankers. Folks, are we going to let the corporations run our lives for us? Are we going to keep listening to people like Mr. Stringham? He may be as sincere as he can be, but look who he speaks for—the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers. Does that sound like and organization that does not answer to the corporations? God help us, if the corporations are making the decisions for Canadians. We are doomed as a nation, if that happens. Democracy is “out the window.” Jerry Riches Chilliwack

Editor: On April 30, 2014, it was widely reported that the B.C. government has decided some courses like philosophy will lose out to business, commerce and sciences in B.C. post-secondary education. Yes, philosophy has been around for a long time. One of the first Western philosophers, Plato, founded the first Western university almost 2,500 years ago in Athens. But philosophy is also very contemporary. When Fraser Valley College began offering courses in 1974, philosophy was included, and a full-time faculty member was hired in 1975. For the 2013-14 school year, about 50 sections of philosophy were offered, almost all fully enrolled. Philosophy is important for UFV students enrolled in a wide variety of programs. The course PHIL 100: Reasoning has been required for most liberal arts students for several decades as an extremely practical course that enables students to reason effectively with others and to assess the quality of reasoning in all fields including science, social science, arts, business, ethics and politics. More specialized philosophy courses examine and critique the history of our thinking so that we can avoid past mistakes in our practical endeavours, e.g., in law, education, religion, logic, decision-making and dispute resolution, public policy, counselling, environmental ethics, sciences and social sciences. And there are courses for those focusing on philosophy as part of their programmes, e.g., in political science and other social sciences, environmental studies, law, and philosophy itself. For more information on employment, type “jobs for philosophy students” into your web browser. In addition to its practical values for contemporary economic and political life, philosophy broadens the mind through engagement with ideas and questions originating in diverse times and places, encourages deep and clear thinking, and ultimately encourages students to think for themselves in order to cultivate lives that are truly their own. These skills are essential to our roles as citizens, workers, managers, consumers, parents . . . . Better thinking can help us live better lives.

› Faith Today BY VERN TOMPKE Vineyard Community Church

re you one of those audio snobs that feels cheated by MP3s? According to these “discriminating” listeners, the digital MP3 was a great loss to us all because while it made music easy to copy, store and download, the compression system it uses also results in the loss of all the dynamic range of the sound necessary for a truly enjoyable audio experience. Witness the re-birth of analog vinyl and even Neil Young’s PONO device and you have a pendulum swing back to people who don’t want to clip out the full dynamic range of what music SHOULD be. The term “lossless” has come to refer to any the idea of faithfully reproducing the full range of the original. So my vinyl friends would tell me that their quest is to return to “lossless”

The MP3 God recordings doesn’t actually include the scratches. Good to know. Ever wonder if you need to carefully edit or “clip” your thoughts and prayers when approaching God? Are certain emotions and feelings acceptable to God while others are not? If one was to enter into most of our churches today (ours included), the message in our words and music would be that only happy/clappy emotions are acceptable in approaching God. The underlying (but probably unintended) message to our people is that the only attitude you can bring to God is one that is upbeat, happy and victorious—anything other emotions are to be carefully hidden

away. The unintended message is “Who wants a “downer” at the party? Certainly not us and certainly not God!” Unfortunately, none of us can keep up the act and when we fall off the “happy wagon”, it feels like we need to wait to get our act together again before we can re-enter community. It shouldn’t be this way. The book of Psalms is the greatest collections of songs ever written and they represent a truly “analog” experience in the way they express an incredibly diverse range of emotions, feelings and approaches to God. Yes there are upbeat, thankful and

worshipful songs, yet a good 40 per cent of the Psalms could be classified as laments. Laments are songs that express sorrow or even questioning at God’s apparent inaction despite his promises. Ever cry out to God ‘How long?” or “Where are you God?” If so, you will find good company in the Psalms. Did you even know that some of the songs have been called “curse” songs—songs that express the whitehot anger of the songwriter towards their enemies. How’s that for dynamic range? I can’t say that I am a careful music listener. When my friends say, “Can’t you hear the difference?” I mostly shrug and go back to my MP3 player. I do know the difference, however, when it comes to lossless worship and a lossless relationship with Him. God is fully interested in me—not just the sanitized version. I find it too exhausting to have to perfectly package who I

am to God and others. Too many people tell me that God will only answer the prayers that I make just the right way or express with just the right spiritual nuance. Too many people tell me God is just waiting for me to get it right then he will act on my behalf. The book of Psalms reminds me that there is no programmed or acceptable way to approach God when it comes to our emotions. Approaching God shouldn’t require a press agent and a publicist. The God of Psalms is interested in responding to us just where we are at. So here’s to lossless worship. While we’re at it—here’s to lossless community. Go ahead and listen to your MP3s—just don’t have an MP3 God! ◗ Vern Tompke is the pastor of the Vineyard Community Church and welcomes comments/questions at vtompke@shaw.ca.

Dream homes at Camden at The Falls By Kerry Vital

Aquilini Development is bringing their master-planned community building expertise to Chilliwack with The Falls, an envisioned community of over 500 homes, set to be built around The Falls Golf Club. Camden, their first release of just 47 single-family homes, offers a little piece of paradise for as low as $389,900.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

“You walk out your door and you’re on the golf course, with rolling greens and panoramic views,” says Macartney Greenfield, project manager for Rennie Marketing Systems. “There aren’t a lot of projects that can offer that resort-style living.” Aquilini has released the first phase of single-family homes, and the response has been overwhelming, Greenfield says. Floorplans range from 1,336 to 3,176 square feet, and each

comes with a large double-car garage with tons of room for storage. The master-on-main floorplans have been particularly popular, Greenfield says. There is also a rancher floorplan available. Buyers will have a vast array of choices when it comes to customizing their new home, including six different home types and elevation styles, eight exterior colour schemes and two interior colour schemes. There are also several interior and exterior upgrade options available. The location is one of the biggest draws for Camden at The Falls. “People are amazed by how beautiful it is here,” Greenfield says. “It’s nestled into the side of the mountain with breathtaking views in every direction.” To take advantage of the views, the homes have spacious covered decks and oversized windows. Nine-foot ceilings in the main living areas add to the airy feeling. Laminate wood flooring is included throughout the main living areas, with porcelain tile in the bathrooms and low-pile carpeting in the bedrooms. A gas fireplace in the living room is perfect for cozying up to in the colder weather, and a rough-in for a wet bar is included in some homes, making entertaining easy.

Wolfpack evens record with loss to All-Stars

hilliwack’s own NWO Roller Girls Wolfpack took on the Okanagan Shuswap Roller Derby Association’s (OSRDA) All Stars in the bout named Hell’s Skate in the Hope arena May 10. The bout started off with great blocking from both teams as the score was tight up to the half. It proved to be a very physical game and the two teams lived up to the namesake of the bout. The jammers on both teams had trouble getting through the walls of blockers in order to score points. There were some great skills shown from both teams. One particular difficult maneuver called “jumping the apex” was successfully completed by NWO’s Pavel Fury. This maneuver consists of a player jumping from inbound on one side of the arc on a the curve of the track, over the out of play area and landing back inbounds on the track. It was a very physical and tough bout for

both teams, where blocking on defense proved to be the style of this Hell’s Skate bout. In the end NWO Wolfpack fell to the OSRDA All Stars with a final score of 147116. NWO would invite everyone to check out the next exciting double-header bout dubbed “Little Dead Riding Hood” on May 24 at the Landing Sports Centre starting at 4 p.m. The Junior team, the NWO Honey Badgers, take on the Seattle Derby Brats first at 5 p.m. Then the NWO Outsiders take on the Doomsday Bunnies at 7:15 p.m. Admission price for this event is $8 for a single ticket or $12 for two.

Granola bars Recipe courtesy Dian Learn Bake 350 C for approximate 15 minutes Makes one large pan of squares, maximum size 10 inches by 16 inches (Works best if pan has sides) You might like to start by baking a half batch at first till you figure out which flavours you like best together.

Back-to-the-kitchen revival a recipe for a better way of living BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

any of us grew up with family traditions in the kitchen. Some of those traditions are connected to certain days of the week, foods that kids and dads and moms learn to associate with the day. Spaghetti on Monday, boeuf bourgignon on Tuesday, perogies on Wednesday, salmon on Thursday, tacos on Friday. Whatever it is. Or was. When I was a kid, my mother — who, while a feminist who worked full time, did all the cooking — would open the fridge, see what had survived the week, both on our plates and in the crisper, and make a meal. She even had a name for it: End-Of-The-Week Review. It wasn’t always great, to be clear, but it was always edible, always good and sometimes really good. Iron Chefs are given ice chests full of crab legs or duck breasts or tofu and a full larder to make a gourmet meal. I’d like to see Bobbie Flay or Masaharu Morimoto walk into an average kitchen when the pickings are slim and see what they come up with for a meal. But the reason my mother was able to make a meal out of leftovers, and why Flay or Morimoto could too, is because they know how to cook. Well, duh. may not are going to do for beCooking exactly a lost art, the rest of your life. but it’s certainly seen better days. You need to eat The slow and steady decline in the skills to live and so you of adult Canadians should enjoy that.” can be attributed to many things - Dian Learn not least of which is demographic changes in the home and the push by large food processing companies towards the middle aisles of grocery stores. Why cook when you can reheat? In a 2009 New York Times column “Out of the Kitchen, Onto the Couch,” food journalist and author Michael Pollan belied the loss cooking skills in the face of rising cooking show popularity. “[H]ere’s what I don’t get: How is it that we are so eager to watch other people browning beef cubes on screen but so much less eager to brown them ourselves?” But that was 2009, and I would argue today that the last decade of food show popularity is at least partly to credit for what is becoming a back-to-the-kitchen revival. In the few weeks that I’ve been writing The Eaten Path, one thing has been mentioned by nearly everyone I’ve interviewed is that eating local is as much about kitchen skills and a love of cooking as anything else. “We want to try to offer cooking classes so people can learn the fundamentals of cooking,” Dan Oostenbrink of The Local Harvest on Lickman Road told me. Oostenbrink is direct, even almost sounding unsympathetic about those who say they can’t cook. “If you want to learn to paint you buy the canvas and brushes and paint and you start working at it. If you are not that good when you start, you ask someone who knows what they are doing and ask them to help you. Cooking: how difficult is it? Look on the Internet and follow a recipe.” Carrielynn Victor who told me about Sto:lo traditional

Mix 2/3 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup butter 3 tablespoons honey 1 egg

Add 1 cup flour 1/2 tsp baking powder dash salt 1-1/2 cup large flaked rolled oats 1-1/2 cup rice crispies

Paul J. Henderson/TIMES

Learning the basics of cooking can bring you closer to your family and friends while increasing healthy eating. foods and wildcrafting, finds the loss of cooking sad. “It’s tragic because there is so much benefit in experiencing creating your food,” she told me. “They tell us that our hands are extensions of our hearts and when you are actively cooking, your thoughts transfer to the food and then you see that in the people that eat it.” And there is hope. I contend that Pollan’s concern that we were watching cooking shows but not cooking five years ago is either wrong or outdated. Whether it’s teenage girls learning to make cupcakes because of something they’ve seen on TV or the manliest of barbecue men investing in smokers to make competition quality ribs in their backyard, there has been a return to homemade meals. And if you need help, there are a few places around here to get a little. Tonight (May 15), is the last instalment of the Foodie Collective Series put on by the Chilliwack Community Arts Council. Indian cook Anu Kaur will be teaching people how to make the classic dish aloo gobi along with chapatis and raita. I was at a friend’s home for a cooking class from Kaur a year ago, a real treat to realize the

slow process of creating a rich pan of butter chicken and watching grilled chapatis puff up on the open flame of a natural gas grill. Dian Learn was a baker for 15 years and she’ll be offering basic cooking classes in June for kids aged seven to 12 through the Chilliwack Community Arts Council. Learn says she’s often surprised how many people in their 20s she meets, even the newly married, don’t cook. “They think Kraft Dinner is cooking,” she said. Learn tries to instil in kids that they can make things from scratch. “It’s something you are going to do for the rest of your life. You need to eat to live and so you should enjoy that.” The Chilliwack Arts Council has more planned for kids cooking classes in summer camps, and they have more adult programs planned in the Foodie Collective Series for the fall. Check out www.chilliwackartscouncil.com for details. Red Seal Chef Leo at Vita Bella Bistro on Luckakuck Way offers occasional cooking classes as well as private lessons right in your own home. Check out www.vitabellabistro.com for details.

Pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, currants, dried blueberries or cherries, chopped dried apricots, chopped peanuts, spices of your choice, ground flax seeds, wheat germ. Also, use gluten-free flour instead of regular flour, or replace part or all of the butter with peanut butter (or almond butter).

Directions: 1. Mix all the ingredients well 2. Press into pan 3. Score with a chopper before baking. Cut the squares about how big you want them before baking. It helps to get them apart afterwards 4. Start to check the squares around 12 minutes. They should be cooked but not too hard 5. Store in an airtight container

TARA FIELD

She says she inherited the volunteer gene from her mom, and the Rosedale Rockers Soccer League is all the better for it

hen it comes to getting local sports initiatives off the ground, Tara Field clearly has the midas touch. An over-30 women’s soccer league she help to start seven years ago is thriving after mushrooming from one team to 12, and a competitive skipping team she created out of nothing went from zero to national record holders in just four years. Not bad for someone who had neither skipped nor played soccer before she launched the two programs. “She’s an ex-RCMP, so she’s got leadership skills, and she just made it happen,” says Anne Russell, a fellow founder of the Rockers’ Soccer League. But Field says her time as a Mountie (she retired last year after nearly 20 years in the force), is only part of the explanation. Getting involved and getting things done was something she inherited from her mom, a busy volunteer. And then there’s her own sports background. A national-level cross-country skier in her youth, the Whitehorse, Yukon native made that sport her life from age nine to her early 20s. And before she got sick of school and joined the RCMP halfway through a masters degree in Phys. Ed. at the University of Alberta at age 26, her goal had been to be a university-level coach.

2014 Community Sport Hero Tara Field. “The police force, that was just kind of a diversion; my roots are fitness and Phys. Ed., so that’s what it comes back to,” she says. Like many an athlete before her, however, competitive sports had taken a backseat to family and career by the time she and her husband (also with the RCMP) were posted in Chil-

liwack in 1998. The way Field tells it, the idea for the Rosedale Rockers Soccer League was born one night among “wine and friends.” In 2007, a group of women, mostly moms with kids at East Chilliwack elementary, decided over drinks it was time for them to get off the side-

lines and on to the field instead of just watching their kids play. Most, like Field (a mother of four), had never played soccer before, and most were hovering near age 40. After getting creamed in the regular women’s league and being told not to come back, the women decided to start their own league in 2008.

The recreational seven-a-side league has been a smashing success from the get-go and now boasts 12 teams and about 150 players. Field has co-ordinated the league from the beginning, staying on even after the second of two major injuries took her out of the game two years ago. Skipping first captured Field’s imagination when a demonstration team came to her kids’ school in 2008. She wanted to get her kids involved, but no clubs nearby were taking new members, so she started her own. Like the Rockers Soccer League, the East Chilliwack Skipping Club was a hit from the start, attracting 50 kids in the first year. What was the appeal? “Skipping is just the happiest sport ever,” Field says. “When you’re jumping, it just does something to you and you’re happy.” Competitive by nature, she soon started up a competitive team, Vertical Zone, that went on to set a national double-dutch record at the national championships two years ago. Like all Community Sport Heroes, Field is uncomfortable taking credit for the success of the sports initiatives she’s been a part of. Knowing the pleasure they bring to others is enough. “It’s very satisfying to me to say, ‘Hey, look what we’ve done.’”

SHERRIE TOROK

herrie Torok’s roots in the Chilliwack Spartans Swim Club run deep. Started and originally coached by military personnel at CFB Chilliwack in the old Cheam Centre, the club was only one year old when an 11-yearold Torok and her younger brother were signed up by their parents. “I don’t know how they ever found the club, to be honest, because it wasn’t very big at the time,” Torok says. The club, however, would become her sporting home until she graduated from Sardis secondary and went on to study at UBC six years later. Not “overly sporty” as a kid, Torok enjoyed the competition and camaraderie of the small club. It’s an experience she wanted to pass on to her own kids once she moved back to Chilliwack after university and a time of living in New Westminster. “It’s just a good sport in terms of teaching camaraderie and sportsmanship and planning,” she says. “And the physical fitness aspect of it is amazing.” But things had changed at the Spartan Swim Club since her competitive swimming days—and not just the Superman emblem that had replaced the old Spartan helmet as the club’s new logo either. While Torok had hit the pool for a few hours a week in her youth, Spar-

Volunteering her time with the Spartan Swim Club is an investment she’s willing to make to see athletes succeed “They’ve usually done 5 to 6k before most kids are getting up for school.” - Sherrie Torok

2014 Community Sport Hero Sherrie Torok. tans these days are at the pool six days a week, 10 months of the year. “They’ve usually done 5 to 6k before most kids are getting up for school,” Torok says of the club’s 5 a.m. Tuesday and Thursday morning practices. That takes commitment from both swimmers and parents, especially

when kids—like Torok’s son Jordan—end up competing nationally. Like many Spartans parents, Torok’s service to the club started with volunteering as a timer at meets. “Right from the get-go, all our timers are parents,” she says. Today, after numerous courses,

there’s no officiating role at a swim meet she wouldn’t be able to handle in a pinch. And for the past few years she’s been passing her know-how onto to newer parents. “It’s quite a complicated sport to learn for parents,” she said, referring to the small army of officials

required at every meet. During her years of service to the club, Torok spent five years on the board, as volunteer co-ordinator, vice-president, president and past-president, a role she had to cut short when her husband had a stroke two years ago. After putting countless volunteer hours into the club over the last 13 years, Torok, whose daughter Sydney still competes, remains a fixture around the pool today, doing whatever needs to be done. Asked what keeps her putting in all that time, her answer is simple. “It’s important for the kids,” she says. For Spartans head coach Justin Daly, meanwhile, Torok’s selfless volunteerism has not only helped the club directly, it has also set an excellent example for those parents he hopes will follow in her footsteps. “When you see someone like that, coming out after so many years, it shows new parents that it’s worthwhile to get invested into the program and help the kids succeed.”

DONNA ALLAN

hey may be called Little Rockers, but they play a big role in securing the future of the Chilliwack Curling Club. Once a week, kids aged eight to 11 years old, spend an hour at the local curling club learning the basics of the game in a safe and nurturing environment. The woman behind the organized chaos is co-ordinator Donna Allan. As a retired elementary school teacher, Donna knows her way around kids. Sure, occasionally you’ll see one of her charges sailing down a sheet of ice riding a rock, but hey, these are kids after all. “It doesn’t happen often,” Donna says. Unlike a lot of curling clubs that are seeing declining membership numbers, the local club continues to buck the trend, thanks to Allan and her Little Rockers program. “It starts with the little ones,” she says. Allan is quick to give credit to her predecessors Laura Watson and Peter Lui for their roles in keeping the program on track. Taking over just seemed the right thing to do. “I like kids and I like curling,” she says. “It’s a pretty good fit for me.”

Like all good school teachers, she is always prepared when she visits the curling rink “Donna is the perfect fit for this position because she approaches it with dedication and passion.” - Bruce Renwick

2014 Community Sport Hero Donna Allan. And although she doesn’t have any official qualifications when it comes to curling, she’s quick to point out, “I know a little bit more than an eightyear-old.” She may be modest about her qualifications, but Allan’s curling resume is far from average. She managed to bring

home the gold medal from the B.C. Senior Games held in Burnaby three years ago, as lead rock on Ernie Sawatsky’s rink that included Cis Pitman as third and Donna’s husband Richard as second. Along with curling three times a week, Donna also manages to enter several bonspiels

GUDRUN ANDERSON W

hen Gudrun Anderson was ready to reignite her passion for tennis about six years ago, she looked around Chilliwack for fellow enthusiasts but found only a handful of cliquey players frequenting the local courts. Instead of shrinking from the challenge, she has made it her mission to build a local community that shares her love of the game in a more inclusive way. “Gudrun, far more than any other person, has revived tennis in Chilliwack by voluntarily organizing, advertising, connecting and promoting tennis play and skill-building not just to tennis players, but every Chilliwack individual curious about this sport’s benefit,” says Bryan Stephenson, a Chilliwack Tennis Society member who nominated Anderson as a Community Sport Hero. Anderson first developed a love of tennis in her native Germany, where she grew up in the Black Forest town of St. Georgen. In her youth it was more of a recreational endeavour that took a backseat to freestyle skiing, which Anderson pursued competitively in the late 1970s and early 1980s. But all personal interests fell by the wayside a few years after she moved to Chilliwack in 1989 with her husband, a

each season. “Sometimes you play well enough to win some money,” she says, “but you go because you are with your friends.” That’s exactly how she started in the sport—friends. “A friend asked me to try it,” she says. “There’s a lot to be said about the social side of

curling.” And Donna has no shortage of friends when it comes to helping run the Little Rockers. “She has developed her own network of volunteer helpers within the club and assigns them specific kids and duties,” says curling club manager Bruce Renwick. “Donna is the perfect fit for this position because she approaches it with dedication and passion.” She also approaches it with a lifetime of experience honed inside a classroom. “School teachers usually have a plan,” she says. Safety and fun are the main in emphasis of Little Rockers, says Donna, and slowly developing their skills for them to be more successful is the end goal. “This year we had a girl in a wheelchair join us,” she says. “She’s a pretty neat kid.”

She loves serving up the benefits that come with playing tennis “My goal is to see that the players of Chilliwack can continue to play indoors in their own dedicated facility.” - Gudrun Anderson

2014 Community Sport Hero Gudrun Anderson. Canadian Forces helicopter pilot who was stationed in Germany when they met. He was killed in a tragic helicopter crash in 1996, and Anderson dedicated the next period of her life to her young daughter, Kristie. Before long, though, her daughter was ready share in her favourite sports, and Anderson’s enthusiasm for tennis was reborn. To build a local community of fellow enthusiasts, she started by organizing drop-in

sessions once a week at the Portage Avenue and Twin Rinks courts in 2008. The following year she founded the Chilliwack Tennis Society and has been working tirelessly to promote tennis in the community through that organization ever since. “I absolutely love tennis,” she said. “I see the benefits of it. I see how people can stay active no matter how old they are. It is a sport that goes from kids to seniors. Our oldest member is 81and still plays tennis.”

Anderson’s efforts to promote the lifelong sport have been wide ranging, from organizing a summer men’s and ladies’ doubles league with year-end tournament, tripling participation for indoor tennis at the Landing Sports Centre since 2010, helping to get a tennis team off the ground at Sardis secondary, starting a junior tennis after-school program at Greendale community school and organizing a summer co-ed singles club ladder for all abilities, complete with a

huge, end-of-summer tournament weekend. Ultimately, Anderson’s dream would be to see a dedicated tennis facility in the city with indoor playing surfaces and a clubhouse. “My goal is to see that the players of Chilliwack can continue to play indoors in their own dedicated facility,” she says, “and that’s what I’m working for every minute, day and night.” Whatever the future holds, however, Stephenson and other local tennis lovers believe Anderson has already done enough to earn a place among this year’s Community Sport Heroes. “Gudrun has brought Chilliwack’s youth, families, seniors, aspiring serious competitors, and even the wealthy and needy, together in shared enjoyment,” Stephenson says. “Very few paid community leaders have accomplished as much in under five years.”

› 2014 Sport Hero Awards His passion for the game of hockey made giving his time and effort to the Flickers and Friends Hockey Association a true labour of love

RON FOX

t’s hard to call someone who gives so much of himself to others selfish, but that’s how old-timers hockey legend Ron Fox felt, to a degree, about his involvement with the Flickers and Friends Hockey Association. “It was a labour of love for me, yes, but there was a also a degree of selfishness as well because I wanted an organized place to play hockey,” he explains. “But it was never a burden. I always got a lot of support from the guys.” An avid hockey player all his life, Ron played his way through several age leagues until finding himself at his final destination with the Flickers. His route was not dissimilar to others. “As people retired from other parts of Canada, they contacted the city to find where to play and eventually they would join us,” he said. “If you’re a hockey player you look for a source to play. The one thing we all have in common is the stick and the puck.” Starting in 2006, Ron was the active hockey playing administrator of the association. He looked after just about everything including recruiting and organizing players, scheduling ice and goaltenders, picking the teams, collecting player dues, canvassing for sponsors and liaising with the city and rink employees. “Ron really cared for the group and devoted very many personal hours

“Some of us probably wore skates before we wore shoes.” - Ron Fox

2014 Community Sport Hero Ron Fox. to this group of ‘old-timers’ both on and off the ice,” said his nominator and fellow Flicker Leo Valentine. “He served with class and respect for all, and was well-liked and respected in return by all the grateful players involved. He is truly a Community Sport Hero to all who know him.” As a hockey lifer, Ron’s memo-

ries of his youth growing up in the Edmonton area are coloured by days and nights spent on outdoor sheets of ice. In fact, he says he never played organized hockey indoors until he found himself here on the West Coast. “There were outdoor rinks on every corner of the community,”

he said. “Some of us probably wore skates before we wore shoes. We didn’t have the Internet, no laptops, we did a lot of stuff outside.” It’s this passion for sports, and in particular, hockey, that has always inspired Ron to stay active. And while Ron was a master organizer, he was no slouch on the ice either. The

Flickers don’t keep stats, but, Ron had the scoring touch. “Some of us knew where the back of the net was,” he said with a wry smile. “There’s not a better a feeling than to pop one in the top righthand corner.” Ron hung up his skates last season, at the age of 81, and recalls one of the highlights of his time with the Flickers was getting the chance to play alongside former NHLer and Chilliwack native Dave Archibald on a few occasions. “To have a pro come out and play with us . . . what a pleasure,” he said. There’s no disguising Ron’s love of the game. He speaks fondly and eloquently of his time with the Flickers and how, despite it being an old-timers league, the fire still burned for most players. “The only thing you had to agree to was that we were all seniors and we were not out to play like we did when we were younger,” he said. “But . . . occasionally tempers would flare. Old habits die hard. It’s not chess; it’s not checkers. It’s a very passionate game.”

CHRISTINE RICHARDSON

hristine Richardson has spent an awful lot of time in hockey rinks for someone who’s never played the sport. It started when she was a youngster in Abbotsford watching her younger brother play and her dad coach. It started up again when her oldest son, Ian, took up the sport eight years ago. Not active in sports herself, Richardson nonetheless believes sports are important for kids. “It keeps them out of trouble,” she says. Not one to sit idly by, she has been actively involved in her kids’ sports from the beginning, whether it’s helping to fundraise for her daughter, Jessica’s cheerleading team or managing one of her sons’ hockey teams. But it’s been with Chilliwack Minor Hockey that Richardson has put in the most time. She and husband Ron have managed their youngest son, Cory’s teams for the last seven seasons, and the couple can be found at the Twin Rinks three nights a week for up to four hours a night. Over the years, Richardson has also added a few other extra duties to her season schedule. She co-ordinates picture day for all of Chilliwack Minor Hockey, a day-long affair of herding cats that takes about a month to organize.

She has a need to make sure that those who love sports have a chance to play “It keeps them occupied . . . and if they don’t have us to help, then they can’t do it.” - Christine Richardson in hours and hours of work behind the scenes, Richardson is uncomfortable in the spotlight. For her, helping out comes with enough of its own rewards. Chilliwack Minor Hockey has become her community, and it just feels good to know she is helping others, Richardson said. Then, of course, there are the games themselves and watching 13-year-old Cory play. Because he’s a goalie, though, and competing in the top ranks of local rep hockey, even that comes with a bit of sacrifice on mom’s part. “It’s very stressful,” Richardson says. “I kind of sit and hide in the corner and my hands sweat.” At the end of the day, however, Ron Richardson says it’s “all about the kids” for his wife. Whether it’s for her own son or other kids in the community, working behind the scenes to make sure they get to play the sport they love is worth it to Richardson. “It keeps them occupied,” she says, “and if they don’t have us to help, then they can’t do it.”

2014 Community Sport Hero Christine Richardson. “They all call me the picture Nazi,” Richardson says with a laugh. For the past three years she has also helped out with the association’s annual week of rep tryouts, acting as the go-to person at the rink, checking players in, handing out jerseys and generally directing traffic.

It hasn’t always been easy putting in all these volunteer hours while working graveyard shifts at the Birchwood Retirement Home, but Richardson wouldn’t have it any other way. “There have been countless times during tournaments, picture days and tryouts that she has come

straight from work and worked 10 to 12 hours helping out in the event without any sleep,” Ron Richardson said. “People have told her to go home for sleep, but she has always been there for the kids and is committed to whatever she is involved in. She has a great heart.” Like most Sport Heroes who put

› 2014 Sport Hero Awards

JON FREEMAN

on Freeman has seen a lot of changes at the Chilliwack Football Club (FC) over the last 11 years. When he first signed his son up to play soccer in 1998, the local club was little more than a storage space and a co-ordinator’s phone number. Fields were grass, and Chilliwack players were routinely outmatched playing Metro-Vancouver kids on faster all-weather surfaces. All that has changed. And it’s volunteers like Freeman, with a club-first mentality, who have helped to make it happen. “Volunteers like him are few and far between,” CFC chair Andrea Laycock says. “There’s no agenda that just his team’s gotta benefit from this or his child. It’s the entire club approach. He just loves the game and wants the kids to play it, and he wants the rest of us to be the best club ever out there and progress and move forward.” For Freeman, the club-first approach comes naturally. “I think it’s important for people to be a part of something bigger than themselves,” he said, “whether it be a team or a club or a sport that’s international.” Freeman’s first taste of the world’s game came before he met his childhood sweetheart (now wife) Liz at age 16. With eight older, baseball-playing brothers, he chose to distinguish himself by taking up soccer.

Chilliwack FC is a better organization for having him on the board and the sidelines coaching the game he loves

- Jon Freeman

2014 Community Sport Hero Jon Freeman. But with a girlfriend, and later a family (wife, two daughters and a son) and a career, the sport soon took a back seat until his son Jamie was old enough to play. Freeman still remembers his boy’s first slow-motion goal during a Chilliwack U5 game in the “mud pits” that were the Fairfield Island Athletic Park at the time.

LARRY LEGAULT A

s a former university-level mathematics and computer science instructor, Larry Legault is a man who prizes a neat and ordered existence. For the Chilliwack Curling Club, it must have seemed as though they won a prize the day he joined their ranks. After 18 “beautiful summers” in Dawson Creek, Larry and wife Magda choose to retire in Chilliwack … much to the good fortune of the Chilliwack Curling Club. Already an avid curler, Larry sought out the local curling club, but not before doing a little research. “I checked it out before I joined,” he said. And of course, he found what he had always found when it came to curling. “Curlers are the friendliest people in any sport I’ve ever encountered.” It wasn’t long before the club realized what a gem they had in Larry, asking him to join the board of directors after his first season. And so began his lengthy tenure on the board. Larry has served twice as president, with a third stint in the big chair coming next year, as well as two terms as vice-president and a past president. As his nominator, curling club general manager Bruce Renwick credits Larry with bringing about several major changes. “Through Larry’s direction the club has continued to thrive, maintaining and growing membership

“I wanted to contribute at the top level with my accounting knowledge and organizational ability, but at the same time stay connected to the game on the field with the kids.”

“It was a small field,” Freeman says, “but he was about halfway and did a mighty kick, and it slowly rolled and rolled and rolled, and it just barely got across the goal line.” Like many a parent, Freeman started out coaching and then took on managing roles when Jamie moved into the rep ranks as a goalkeeper.

An accountant by trade, Freeman has also served as the club’s treasurer for the last four years—but always with one foot sill firmly planted on the sidelines. “I wanted to contribute at the top level with my accounting knowledge and organizational ability, but at the same time stay connected to the game on the field with the kids.”

Toward that end he has volunteered as a non-parent coach for the last six years, even though his son, who is now 19, stopped playing two years ago because of an injury. Freeman just finished up a season with a U12 girls select team and is getting ready to take on a summer team shortly. “I’m between teams right now,” he says with a laugh, “My fall team has ended, and I’m in that little gap before I start up with a tournament team program.” What keeps him coming back and putting in all those hours? The answer is simple. “I love the game,” he says. Whatever his reasons, his tireless volunteering has made a big difference, according to Laycock. “Chilliwack FC is a better organization thanks to Jon’s involvement,” she says. “He’s an awesome guy.”

Attracted by the game’s social side, his beautiful mind makes life easier for the Chilliwack Curling Club “It’s the atmosphere of this club. It’s just amazing. People are so willing to give of their time, it’s just fantastic.” - Larry Legault

2014 Community Sport Hero Larry Legault. each season,” he said. But it was Larry’s special computer skill set that was most instrumental in gaining the club a higher level of organization and polish. He built and maintains the club’s website, introduced an Accupos system for tracking league and pro shop sales as well as being the club’s draw and rules director and bonspiel chairman.

“These contributions to the club have allowed the staff to concentrate on running a first-class facility for the city as well as enable us to pursue new avenues of building utilization and sponsorship,” said Renwick. “He has been a huge asset to our club.” With a membership of more than 600, the local club is a hive of activity. The recent Winter Olympics

should help to draw even more people to the sport, said Legault. And being prepared for that renewed interest is vital to securing new members. “We’re hoping for a big bump because of the Olympics,” he said. “We have a ‘Getting Started in Curling’ program that is 10 weeks of lessons for adults.” And while Legault enjoys his off-

ice time at the club, he’s also a busy curler, skipping one men’s and three mixed rinks each week. “I like to skip because it’s the strategy of the game that keeps me focused on the game,” he said. But the bottom line for Legault and curling has always been social. “It’s the atmosphere of this club,” he said. “It’s just amazing. People are so willing to give of their time, it’s just fantastic.” No better example of this solidarity was the club’s recent hosting of the B.C. Junior Provincials, where Legault said everyone came together to put the club in the best possible light. With only one more year of eligibility left as a board member, Legault will have to step down, but he vows he won’t step away from volunteering in some aspect of the club. “I’m a fairly young guy and I have the time,” he said. And we’re sure that suits the Chilliwack Curling Club just fine.

“I look at Northern Gateway and see a project that will build families and communities for generations. That’s what I’m most proud of.” - Catherine Pennington, Senior Manager, Community Benefits & Sustainability

Meet the expert: Catherine Pennington spearheads our community benefits and sustainability initiatives which include education and skills development. For over 10 years, she has lived and worked in Northern B.C. with First Nation and Métis communities, creating partnerships and programs that focus on improving employment and social outcomes for the long term.

We at Northern Gateway are committed to ensuring that jobs and business opportunities will be available to people living near the Project’s right-of-way.

6488031

IT ALL ADDS UP TO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT In Catherine’s experience, removing barriers to employment has a huge impact – not just on individual job seekers, but on their communities as well. When you connect someone to a job, you also build individual and social pride, enhanced connections, dignity and ultimately, stronger sustainable communities. “As a trained social worker with experience in community development, I have found it very rewarding to work in Industry. You have the opportunity to create really meaningful outcomes that are mutually beneficial. Our model of shared responsibility for working with communities is unique and is being emulated by other companies.”

DEDICATED TO MEANINGFUL ABORIGINAL INCLUSION Catherine connects willing job seekers with existing and emerging opportunities. She is focused on helping the Project meet its goal of having Aboriginal people comprise 15 per cent of the construction workforce. “Many Northern communities are experiencing or have experienced desperate cycles of poverty, in part due to a lack of the necessary skills for the existing employment opportunities. I believe people in Northern and North Western B.C. have yet to fully realize their enormous potential. By actively investing in better education and skills training, opportunities for advancement and connections to good, steady jobs, we know we can make a real difference.”

SUCCESS ACROSS THE NORTH We have held discussions with numerous training providers, colleges, universities and employment service providers in Northern B.C. to identify programming needs to help Aboriginal and local people take advantage of the surge in energy projects in the region. We have also worked to tailor programming to the needs of individual communities. “Fundamentally, there’s nothing more powerful than helping someone make that connection to employment, because it leads to a larger, more positive and healthier social outcome.” As a company and a neighbour, we want to see Northern residents get the best opportunities because that benefits us all. It’s how we will build more than a safer, better pipeline, we will help build a better B.C.

Upcycling: Transforming the ‘old’ into a better ‘new’ T

urn old or discarded furniture, cabinets and doors into fresh new creations through “upcycling”—high-end “recycling” that reduces trash at landfills by refurbishing or repurposing existing pieces, often enhancing the value. Woodcraft offers the following ideas and products to get you started.

Upcycling Projects

◗ Family furniture: Save chairs, tables, and other furniture passed

down through the generations by doing repairs, if needed, and staining/ painting to suit your current decor. ◗ Other furniture or “yard sale finds”: These also can be stabilized and given a new look through stain/paint or distressing, but some may also lend themselves to transformation for other uses, such as turning a chest of drawers into bookshelves, a chair into a swing, a dresser into a seat and more. ◗ Doors and more: Solid wood

doors make great tops for tables and kitchen islands, old-fashioned screen doors hung from the ceiling can store pots and pans, and old windows make attractive wall hangings used “as is” or with additions, such as photos. ◗ Cabinets: Change the look of your kitchen, bathroom or workshop with a new color for your cabinets and new handles and pulls. { See UPCYCLING, page A30 }

› At Home (NC) Whether you’re moving into your first apartment or upgrading to a new home, making your move can be both an exciting and stressful time. From packing up your things to coordinating the move, there are lots of to-do’s to check off your list, including making sure that your finances are in order. RBC provides some tips to help

CHILLIWACK TIMES

Financial tips to help settle into your new home make your move easier: Find your local bank branch. Explore your new neighbourhood to locate your closest branch and ATM. If you need additional funds during your move, you’ll know where to go. And if your bank is not nearby, consider your

options and switch to another one that’s closer to you. Carry the three Cs—cash, credit cards and cheques. Keep extra cash, credit cards and blank cheques in your wallet for those expenses that you’ll incur during your move. Not all

expenses are payable by credit card, so having cash and cheques will give you flexibility in your payment options. Update your contact information. Your employer, bank, credit card provider, utility companies and government agencies will need your new

contact information and updated bank account numbers (if applicable). This can be done online, in-person, by phone or mail. Contact Canada Post to ensure all of your mail is being re-directed to your new home. ◗ For more information, visit http:// www.rbcroyalbank.com/personal. html.

Easy to change the use and form of wood { UPCYCLING, from page A29}

Helpful Products ◗ “Woodcraft offers many products—including professional advice —that can make upcycling projects easy and successful,” product manager Kent Harpool said. “A few products are listed here, but our retail store owners and salespeople, customer service staff and tech experts are available to help you select from Woodcraft’s extensive line of tools and supplies, as well as understand how to use the products. We know wood and how to work with it, repair it and transform it. Visit a store near you, or give us a call—let us help you.” ◗ Repair: Furniture that has been around awhile may need repair. For weak chair joints, drill a hole, inject Briwax ChaiRx, and wait for it to swell the joints for a strong bond. For other repairs, Titebond I, II or III and other glues will work. ◗ Transition: Changing the use and form of wood pieces will involve varied tasks. For projects that involve disassembly of furniture or doors, followed by reassembly of some pieces into a new creation, the Kreg Jig(R) K4 Master System offers quick joinery—strong pocket-hole joints. Stanley Chair Braces are designed for corner reinforcement on chairs, tables, chests, and more for quick, easy construction and repairs. ◗ Colour: Once you have selected and/or repaired a piece of old furniture or created a new piece from an existing one, determine where your upcycled piece will “live,” which colour or colours will look best there, and which type of paint or finish will achieve the desired effect. Use Restor-A-Finish(R) to “uncover” the original finish on an heirloom or other old piece of furni-

ture. Available in six colors plus neutral, it revives the wood finish’s luster while blending out minor scratches and blemishes. To change or refurbish the color, the three products listed below are easy to use. In addition, surface prep for furniture and cabinets requires only cleaning and light sanding. For a beautiful handrubbed wood finish look, choose General Finishes Gel Stain and Topcoats. Available in 12 shades, including the popular Java, these urethane stains and topcoats are easy to use: simply wipe on with a rag and wipe off the excess. To protect the gel stain, especially for heavy-use surfaces such as tabletops, General Finishes offers three options: Gel Satin Top Coat, PolyAcrylic Top Coat or High Performance Top Coat. General Finishes WaterBased Milk Paints and Glaze Effects offer a wide range of color possibilities. Use one of the 20 premixed acrylic Milk Paint colors, such as Tuscan red, or combine two colors (using a topcoat between applications). To create eye-catching decorative finishes such as distressing, antiquing, marble effects, shabby chic, and more, choose one of the six translucent glaze effects to go with any water-based stain or paint. Old-Fashioned Milk Paint is a powder made from earth pigments, which is mixed with water to make 20 rich colors that authentically reflect colors found on existing antique furniture and buildings. To uncover the original wood surface on furniture, SOY-GelTM Professional Paint Stripper is easy to use, virtually odorless and has no known health hazards. ◗ For more information about Woodcraft products, contact the store nearest you, visit www. woodcraft.com.

Some ideas on restoring secondhand furniture

Victoria Long Weekend

Bringing well-worn bargain bin treasures back to life isn’t as difficult as you might think to good use. ◗ Upgrade old upholstery. Old chairs and couches tend to have ample wear and tear. But such items are still useful as long as their bones are still sturdy, even if cushions have flattened out and fabric is suffering from tears or stains. Reupholstering old furniture can turn inexpensive but worn down older items into seemingly brand new pieces at a fraction of the cost of new furniture. According to Better Homes and Gardens magazine, the following supplies are necessary to successfully reupholster furniture: - needle-nose pliers - camera or notepaper and pencil - marking pen - scissors - staple gun and staples, 3/8- or 5/16-inch - 1/2-inch batting - upholstery fabric (chairs typically require 5 yards) - straight pins - 5/32-inch welt cord - sewing machine - upholstery-weight thread - tack strips - fabric glue, optional - upholstery tacks or nailhead trim, optional - black breathable fabric for the underside of furniture Reupholstering furniture can be a tedious process, and one novices might want to leave to the professionals. The cost of reupholstering secondhand furniture bought at a garage sale, thrift store or private seller online is likely still less expensive than buying a new piece, so you might still make out in the long run. If reupholstering proves too expensive but

the furniture still has ample and comfortable cushioning, consider employing a slip cover to hide stained or torn upholstery. Slip covers are typically inexpensive, and they can be purchased in various colours. ◗ Wash away years of wear and tear. Restoring secondhand furniture can sometimes be as easy as washing away years of wear and tear. Old chests of drawers, dressers or armoires might just need a good scrubbing to look as good as new. Before cleaning older furniture, remove the old wax with a stripper bought at a hardware store. Old coats of wax can prevent cleaners from reaching the surface of the furniture, so they must be removed for cleaning products to be effective. When cleaning old furniture, it’s a good idea to solicit advice from antique dealers, who can help you avoid damaging the piece even further. A small amount of dishwashing liquid mixed with warm water can be used to gently clean old wax off of furniture. When applying such a mixture, be careful to avoid soaking the item or letting the mixture pool on its surface. Work slowly, gradually cleaning small areas one by one and wiping them down with a damp cloth to ensure wax and other residue has vanishedcompletely. Once the item has been thoroughly cleaned and been given ample time to dry, you can apply a new coat of wax. Older furniture can be both practical and chic, and there are many ways to bring such items back to life without breaking the bank.

en and women furnish their homes and apartments in various ways. For some, home furnishings are an extension of their personalities, while others prioritize budget over style when furnishing their domiciles. Secondhand furniture has long been used to furnish homes and apartments. While young people working with tight budgets and living in their first apartments might be the most likely to rely on secondhand furniture, such items are not exclusive to recent college graduates and young professionals. Homeowners with a love of antiques or those who simply can’t resist thrift store bargains also are likely to lean on secondhand furniture. Used furnishings range from expensive high-end antiques to bargain bin chairs and couches found in thrift stores or purchased online. Pricey antiques often come fully restored, but that still leaves legions of shoppers who need to bring their secondhand furnishings back to life. The following are a few ways to do just that. ◗ Embrace your inner Picasso. A fresh coat of paint can go a long way toward stylizing secondhand furniture. Items that have been through a lot before making it to your home may benefit from some sanding before receiving a fresh coat of paint. Once items have been sanded, smoothed and cleaned, apply some primer before dusting off your paintbrush. Primer makes it easier for the fresh coat of paint to bond to the furniture, making it less likely that the new coat will chip or crack in the months to come. After applying primer, the painting can commence. Two to three coats should be sufficient to give the item a fresh new look. Allow the item to dry for several hours before showing it off and putting it

ow do you become an organizer for a Fraser Valley-wide theatre festival? If you’re Patti Lawn of the Chilliwack Players Guild, the answer is simple. “I turned to my friend Debra Archer and I said, ‘I’ll do it if you’ll do it!’” she says with a laugh. Over the last year the pair has been the organizing force behind the Fraser Valley Zone Festival, which will host eight plays at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre from May 18 to 23. Lawn and Archer have been at work in the background to get everything from volunteers to trophies salted away in preparation. “The biggest challenge, I would say, is getting sponsorships,” Lawn explains. “The Zone Festival is different than players guild plays—it’s unfamiliar to our community.” With troupes travelling in from Surrey, Langley and beyond, audiences never know exactly what they’ll get in their week’s worth of theatre. But Lawn says no matter what, it’s bound to be good—perfect for theatre buffs looking to fit as many plays into a week as they can. “It’s just always wonderful to be the host of an event like this,” she says. “We get very caught up in what we do as a players guild, but it’s nice to sit back and watch the work of others and connect with people who share our love of theatre.” Two of the shows hitting the stage next week spring from local Players Guild talent. Caliban: House-sitter

The host with the

most

(written and directed by Rick Mawson) and The Death of Me (written by Norm Foster and directed by Malcolm Mincher) will be paired together on Sunday, April 18. This is the first Zone Festival show for both directors, although both are seasoned theatre community members. This is the third time that Mawson will direct Caliban in a theatre festival; it appeared in both the UFV Directors’ Festival and the Vancouver Fringe Festival in 2000. Mawson first started writing the show as part of a writers’ group, and read the first scene at Harrison Festival of the Arts. “I wrote it because it came into my head and it kind of dared me to write it,” Mawson says. “I put it aside for a year, maybe more. And then one summer I had some time on my hands and I took it out again.”

Chilliwack Players Guild presents the Fraser Valley Zone Festival, including two homegrown plays

He promises a combination of mystery, humour, and seriousness— themes echoed in the other Players’ Guild show. Combining Norm Foster’s clever dialogue with a sprinkling of local jokes and a few seasoned actors has been a recipe for success, held together by a few serious underlying questions in the short comedy—what should we strive to accomplish while we’re alive? And does anyone have the power to change their own destiny? Director Malcolm Mincher has stood at the helm of shows before, but he says this one has a distinct flavour. “It’s a 45-minute show, so it’s quite different than directing … a couple of the other things that I’ve done—like A Christmas Story, which is two-anda-half hours,” he says. “This is a lot simpler to put together.” With a great script and a great cast, he says the biggest problem they’ll deal

with is just that: keeping it simple. Zone Festival shows only have three hours in the theatre before showtime, during which they’ll have to organize set, lights, and sound. “That’s going to be quite fascinating,” he says, eyes twinkling. Mincher and Mawson have worked together to ensure things will go as smoothly as possible for their shows, which will play back-to-back in the festival. They’re using the same producer, and both shows took advantage of a “pre-adjudication,” during which adjudicator and director Stephen Drover watched the shows and gave advice. “We’d barely started when he came out, so it was really interesting to get his perspective,” Mincher says. “He’s a seasoned director himself; he’s been all over the place.” The next hurdle is the performance itself, after which the cast and crew of both shows will sit down for a onehour critique. And with a little luck, they might even make it into the next round: Theatre BC’s Mainstage Festival in Kamloops later this summer. “It’s a very good possibility,” Mincher says. “Rick’s a very good writer, and his show is very interesting. And this one—well, it’s Norm Foster. It’s quite humorous.” ◗ Festival passes are $90, and tickets to individual shows are $18 (with the exception of Caliban: House-sitter and The Death of Me, which are paired together).

Sex trafficking documentary makes Yarrow pitstop BY DESSA BAYROCK Special to the Times

n the quiet Chilliwack community, sex trafficking is often the last thing on residents’ minds. Which is exactly why Jeremy Isaak thinks its it’s time to open up that discussion. “It’s not something at affects everybody personally,” he says. “You could live your life and not see that ugly side, and yet there are people getting trafficked and stuck in prostitution.” After seeing a petition to bring the nordic model of prostitution to Canada, Isaak’s interest in the issue snowballed.

Now, with the help of a few friends and the support of his Yarrow church, Isaak welcomes Canadian filmmakers Jay and Michelle Brock to help raise awareness. The film, Red Light Green Light, follows the issue of sex trafficking across 10 countries, from Holland to Canada. Each country deals with prostitution differently, and the Brocks hope to shine a light on the link between the sex trade and sex trafficking. “This whole issue of decriminalizing or fully legalizing prostitution is one we didn’t really want to touch,” Michelle Brock says. “It’s so controversial. It’s polarizing.” Even in countries where the sex

“This is an issue that’s a lot more complex than just one person selling their body.” - Michelle Brock trade is fully legal and prostitutes are protected by the law, Brock says a large portion of the sex trade still falls outside the legal sphere. “This is an issue that’s a lot more complex than just one person selling their body,” she says. “There’s never enough willing supply to fill that demand. So as a result traffick-

ers take it upon themselves to fill that supply.” Both Isaak and Brock note this discussion is more pertinent in Canada than ever before in light of the country’s changing prostitution laws. In December of last year, prostitution became legal in Canada; the Supreme Court struck down existing laws, but mandated a one-year period in which to consider a new one. “This is an issue that every country is looking at right now,” Brock says. “What are the decisions we’re going to make around prostitution?” And while the issue may not affect Chilliwack residents directly, Isaak

says, it’s a discussion we ought to be having. “It’s an issue of social justice, and whether it affects us personally or not, we have the responsibility to do something about it,” he says. Although the documentary is often hosted by churches as part of its cross-Canada spring tour, Brock emphasizes the film is aimed at all audiences. “The film itself is not faith-based,” she notes. “It’s applicable to both faith-based and secular audiences.” ◗ Yarrow MB Church hosts the screening on Monday, May 19 at 7:00 p.m. and is free and open to the public.

he inaugural Art of Wine Festival held Saturday at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre was a treat for the senses. More than 25 wineries, pouring 70-plus wines, combined perfectly with amazing local art and the pleasing sounds of the Stuart Young Trio.

And, to top things off, local restaurants and cheese makers provided other treats for the palette. Proceeds from the fundraising event went to purchasing new supplies and equipment for the Cultural Centre’s arts and crafts programs.

avoid theft. They’ll weigh the result every time it fills and donate the result to Sally Ann. As an added bonus, Pick-a-Part will also pick up any scrap metal left at the Salvation Army donation centres. “They came to us and asked us if we were willing to partner with them, and for us it was a no-brainer really,” Armstrong says. “Broken items are left at our doorstep and now we have a place to deal with it… anyone in the Chilliwack area [or] the Sardis area can drop off a metal item into that bin.” He hopes that will cut down on the amount of metal left with the Sally Ann, in a way that still ultimately benefits the charity. ◗ The donation bin is at the front of the Pick-a-Part metal recycling facility on 7976 Logan Drive in Chilliwack, Monday to Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

William Alexander (Bill) Minty passed away peacefully in his sleep on April 23, 2014 at his home in Red Deer, Alberta. He had just celebrated his 94th birthday. Bill, a long time resident of Abbotsford, BC, spent his last few years in Red Deer, AB where he could be closer to his children.

He and his music will be greatly missed until we meet again. Bill is survived by his son Ken (Denelda) Minty of Cold Lake, AB; daughters Jane (Bart) Jensen of Red Deer, AB and Sydna (Jean) Ascione of Raymond, AB as well as 9 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren.

August 2, 1917 ~ April 29, 2014

After a sudden illness, lasting several days, Marie Long passed away surrounded by her caring, immediate and extended family. She is lovingly remembered by her three loving children, granddaughter and great-grandchildren. Marie was born Marie Pilon, to a large Montreal French Canadian family in 1917. Her early years were challenging as she coped with being the middle child of a large low income family of 11 children. In her late teens she had a realization that would define the rest of her life; life was what you made of it and courage, compassion, contemplation, creativity and strong effort were the tools by which to shape your life into something meaningful. Marie was a mother, grandmother, great grandmother, friend, poet, philosopher, writer, artist, hiker and avid walker. She had spunk and great energy and never failed to remind people of her intention of living as long as possible nor about what was on her mind at any given time. Marie always lived life to the fullest and at 96 she was still going on daily walks and strolls until her last few days. She inspired all who knew her. An poignant excerpt from one of her poems sums it all â&#x20AC;&#x153;In an embrace of Joy; closer to God our Creator, Death is full of Life Within, Do not cry for me, I am now in Blessed Peace.â&#x20AC;? She will be sadly missed and always remembered. Private mass for immediate family will be held at St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church on May 17th at 11:00 am. A Celebration of Life and Memorial Tea will be held from 2 to 4 pm on Sunday, May 18th at the Auburn Seniors Residence, 8531 Young Street, Chilliwack. For more information you may contact her son Rene Beauchamp, 1-250-218-9645. Online condolences may be offered at: www.woodlawn-mtcheam.ca Woodlawn Mt.

It is with sorrowful hearts that we must announce the sudden passing of our treasured Love, Father, Son, Leader, and Friend, Cam Purdy. Cam leaves behind his soulmate and lifepartner, Kara; and his precious children, his pride and joy; London and Rylee. He was predeceased on the same day, 26 years earlier, by his beloved adoptive mother Carol Purdy, and is survived by his beloved birth mother, Priscilla Holmstead, of Adelaide, Australia, Cam is also survived by his father AndrewÂ Purdy, of Chilliwack, his sister Ellen,Â and his â&#x20AC;&#x153;spirit familyâ&#x20AC;?, Betty, Liv, Karen M., Lisa B., Marcel B., and Dave (Gator) R. . . . the people who knew best, all of the quiet and shadowy corners of his loving soul. Camâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest legacy, beyond his impressive collections of classic cars and guitars, and his musical repertoire as a professional drummer in the 80s and 90s Rock Music scene, is the company that he built from the ground up. Number 8 Freight grew to be a tremendous source of satisfaction and accomplishment for Cam, as he developed the business over time, and ultimately supported 43 families at the time of his passing. Kara, Lindsay, Dave, Mike, Troy, Rhonda, and all of the drivers who proudly display the Number 8 logo will miss Cam in each and every moment that we endeavour to fill the massive void left by his passing. We honour him collectively, through our efforts to bring his vision for Number 8 Freight to fruition, as he now leads us in spirit (we thank the stars that he never stopped talking â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and we all took notes!) When you watch a NASCAR race, or see his Broncos win a tight game, think of Cam cheering (LOUDLY) beside you. If you see a great concert, imagine his smiling face cheering from the best seats in the house! Imagine him beating out a rhythm on a well-used drum kit, or writing a silly song on one of his classic Fenders or Gibson Les Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Imagine him strolling along his favourite beach, writing love letters in the Chesterman sand. lmagine him loving, and being loved . . . and imagine him at PEACE, with a crooked smile on his face, and a good tune soothing his weary soul. A celebration of life will be held at 2:00 PM on May 24th, 2014, at the Evergreen Hall, in Chilliwack. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to BC Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital in Camâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memory, in honour of his best buddy and wing man, Keaton MacEachernâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brave battle with (and victory over) leukemia. Let us all heal . . . one day at a time . . . Hendersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Funeral Home in care of arrangements.
