UFV unable to keep up with demand for skills training BY DESSA BAYROCK Special to the Times

ast month the B.C. government announced plans to increase support for trades and apprenticeship programs at both high school and post-secondary levels, aiming to fill an estimated one million jobs by 2022. Meanwhile, UFV’s Trades and Technology Centre (TTC) is filled to capacity, with many accepted stu-

dents sitting on waitlists for trades programs. The longest waitlists are for the construction electrician and welding foundation programs, which stand at 102 and 89 students respectively. For a student accepted into in a high-demand program, this can mean waiting a semester—or more—for a spot. And by the time a spot opens up, that student may have moved on to something else—unable to supply

ith hands shaking and holding back tears, convicted child pornography distributor John Patrick Davy read a statement in Chilliwack Provincial Court Tuesday directed in part at the community of Greendale and the students of the elementary school where he taught for years. Davy was in court for the fourth day of a sentencing hearing that began March 27 after he pleaded guilty Feb. 19 to possession and distribution of child pornography. He was arrested last May with more than 27,000 digital sexual images of children as young as toddlers. In an unusual move in a courtroom attended only by the Times and Davy’s mother, the 44-year-old asked to address the court before his lawyer began submissions. “For the past four years, I was privileged to teach the top grade in a small country school in the western reaches of the Chilliwack district,” Davy read from a prepared statement, one that he later asked his lawyer to give to the Times. “The community is tightly-knit by a sense of shared values of faith and

be adding classes immediately,” Arnold notes. “But we are, as all other areas are, under budget restraints and budget cuts from the Ministry of Advanced Education.” If students land on a waitlist, Arnold suggests looking into complementary programs offered at TTC, which can help lay a foundation of understanding when they do get into their program. { See WAIT LIST, page A6 }

ahlia Tait had yet to reach her first birthday when she suffered a heart attack and lay in a coma for seven days. For mom Shawnie Rodgers, this was the hardest step yet in the journey of Tahlia’s Williams Syndrome—a genetic disorder that, just six months before, she had never heard of. “I had never heard of it until I was told my daughter might have it,” Shawnie says. A genetic disorder that only affects one in 20,000 people, Williams syndrome is marked by distinctive and delicate facial features, including a small, turned-up nose, wide mouth, and big eyes. Williams syndrome children are typically also immensely friendly, energetic, and easy to get along with. On the flip side, as Tahlia grows older she may have metal or physical disabilities—or not. She may have eyesight issues—or not. She may have continuing heart problems—or not. Williams Syndrome has a wide spectrum of possible symptoms, making it difficult to pin down and even more difficult know what to “I’m worried about to expect. It’s been a tough resources in road right out of Chilliwack, the gate. After her family because we don’t doctor heard a have that many.” murmur, a cardiologist found three - Shawnie Rodgers defects in Tahlia’s heart. He warned Shawnie that her daughter might have Williams Syndrome, which often presents with heart problems. During a diagnostic procedure last month, things took a sudden turn for the worse. “She went into cardiac arrest and died for 25 minutes,” Shawnie says. “She was dead. She flatlined.” The heart attack set off a moderate stroke, and Tahlia fell into a coma. Because the stroke occurred in Tahia’s middle brain, which is responsible for emotion and movement, her doctors feared the worst. “They basically told us she would be a vegetable,” Shawnie says, “that she wouldn’t come back from it at all.” But she did. Mother and daughter—who had yet to reach her first birthday—spent three weeks at Children’s Hospital in Vancouver, and after that went to Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children in a round of intense occupational and physiotherapy. Tahlia’s recovery flabbergasted her doctors. “We had another cardiologist appointment… and he was expecting to see a baby that was nothing like the baby he had seen before the incident in March. [But] she had pretty much made a full recovery.”

Stretch of Fraser that travels past proposed Aevitas plant considered endangered BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

Submitted photo

Shawnie Rodgers says baby Tahlia is both happy and resilient, dealing with everything Williams Syndrome throws her way—from cardiac defects to a stroke she recovered from earlier this year. For now, it’s a waiting game to see what the Williams syndrome will throw at them next. “It depends on the severity of her Williams syndrome. It’s going to be a long road for her,” Shawnie says. “She has heart surgery at the end of this month… and she’ll eventually need other surgeries, a lot of physiotherapy, a lot of occupational therapy. She’s going to have a hard time with school, from what I understand. “I’m worried about putting my daughter in the local school system and what’s going to happen with that. I’m worried about resources in Chilliwack, because we don’t have that many—my daughter needs intense physical therapy and occupational

therapy and we only see our physiotherapist once a month. “I’m worried in general for her and her well-being and what’s going to happen in the future.” May marks Williams syndrome awareness month, and Shawnie says awareness is the best she can hope for at this point. “Williams syndrome is really rare. So we weren’t expecting it—we didn’t know,” she says. “It’s been a tough go, but I’ve had support.” ◗ The nearest Williams syndrome event takes place on June 1 in Abbotsford’s Mill Lake Park. You can learn more about the genetic disorder at www.cawscan.org.

Chilliwack city council rezoning from last year has led to the addition of the lower Fraser River’s addition to the top 10 endangered rivers in the province for 2014. The Outdoor Recreation Council (ORC) of British Columbia added the local stretch of the Fraser to its annual list because of a proposed hazardous waste recycling facility planned for a property near the river. “The proposed location for this facility, which would be built by Aevitas and handle such dangerous materials as PCBs and mercury, is in the midst of the most productive and sensitive part of the Fraser,” said river advocate Mark Angelo in a press release. “If there was to be a spill, a leaching issue, or a major event such as a fire or flood, the river would be inescapably impacted, as would downstream communities.” A coalition of First Nations, environmental, community and recreational fishing organizations, led by ORC, have filed papers with the B.C. Supreme Court to set aside the city rezoning bylaw that allows for the plant. Those opposed to the plant have emphasized the need for such a facility, but argue the location—between 100 and 200 metres away from the Fraser River in the Cattermole Lands—is the concern. The legal challenge is based on what they say was a flawed public process by the City of Chilliwack. Ongoing gravel extraction, ostensibly for flood protection, is another reason this stretch of the Fraser was added to the list this year.

Court dates set for Neyrinck

Brock House gets heritage status BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

ne of the first nights Lyn Williams spent in 2005 in he and his wife’s then “new” heritage house downtown, a thunderstorm rolled over Chilliwack. If being alone and in a new house wasn’t enough, Williams was in the upstairs bedroom of the one-and-a-half storey Brock House when he heard a tapping on the window. “I started to get goosey,” the England transplant said. “I looked out the window and there was a racoon looking at me. I thought I was in an Edgar Allen Poe novel for a moment.” That’s just one of many memories and stories Lyn and his wife Jennifer Williams have about their decade-long relationship with the home, which received heritage designation with a plaque presented by Mayor Sharon Gaetz last Thursday. “It is an honour to recognize the Brock House as a historically significant home and to thank the owners for lovingly preserving their home,” Gaetz said.

The home is the latest in the last year to receive a Municipal Heritage Site plaque after Stonehurst and the Gervan Residence received similar plaques last May. There have been critics of how much importance city hall pays to heritage, pointing to the demolition of the Paramount Theatre and the fact that the city has no heritage committee, a body nearly every other municipality has. City staff have said that given the low number of requests received to date, the formation of a heritage commission has not been recommended. Without such a commission, the city pays Vancouver consultant Donald Luxton & Associates to provide a statement of significance. The Brock House was completed in 1910 and was built by prominent local builder Robert Harvey Brock. The home is a wood-frame Craftsman bungalow, and features a medium-pitched hipped roof. This was the first home Brock built for himself, but he was known for being the contractor responsible for Central elementary, the original Chilliwack high

Mayor Sharon Gaetz was at the Brock House on Gore Avenue last week to present a Municipal Heritage Site plaque to owners Lyn and Jennifer Williams. school, the Agricultural Hall and the Royal Hotel, among others. Brock House, at 46063 Gore Ave., is located in what was then known as the Mountain View neighbourhood, a burgeoning hot spot for the upper middle class around 1910. “The wealthy and successful in the growing community chose to build their family homes here,” the Luxton report said. The irony of how things have changed regarding the social status of the downtown core from 100 years ago to today was not lost on the Williams as Gaetz dis-

cussed the history. “It was very desirable,” Gaetz said. “This was the place to be.” “It’s changed,” Lyn joked. Jennifer later pointed out that they loved the home but they had had some misgivings about the neighbourhood. “It will improve,” Gaetz said. “We’ve got your word on that?” Jennifer asked. Gaetz said more than her word; the city had invested considerable money, alluding to the purchase of buildings downtown as part of the overall revitalization strategy.

I was welcomed into their homes, churches and to community events. . . . “I’d right now wish to apologize to the children, the families, the colleagues and everyone in the Greendale community. I am deeply anguished by your collective anger and disappointment, and live in hope that one day you will allow a measure of forgiveness in your heart for my actions.” Those “actions” included downloading, viewing and sharing with other child pornography fans images that included victims as young as two years old, according to the RCMP forensic investigator Sgt. Lorena Rostie. When Davy was first arrested he was caught by police trying to hide an external hard drive into an attic access in his bedroom. Also seized were a laptop, computer tower and a bag with a towel and girl’s bikini inside. A search of the hard drive and computers turned up more than 27,000 child porn images, 866 videos and 600 text files with pornographic stories about children as well as 32,572 images of naked or partly naked children and almost 67,000 “child-relevant” images. Arrested, charged and released under strict conditions, he was then found in Kelowna on Sept. 12 with a computer that had more than 1,000 child porn images, 321 photos of naked or partly naked children that did not meet the definition of child porn, and 668 child-relevant images. The reason for the ongoing delay in the sentencing hearing was defence’s request for a second psychologist’s report into Davy’s risk to reoffend. A first report by

forensic psychologist Dr. Hendre Viljoen found Davy to be a low to moderate risk to reoffend. Davy’s lawyer Martin Finch suggested the risk should be assessed at low, but Viljoen included the expanded “moderate” risk because of the pure volume of images found and the fact that once arrested and released, Davy was found breaching his bail conditions. In court Tuesday, Crown counsel Andrea Ormiston took issue with some of the findings of defence’s psychologist Dr. Robert Ley’s report, which found that Davy has a preference for adult women. “Which just seems perplexing, frankly, in light of this other evidence,” Ormiston said, pointing to a story Davy wrote about sexually assaulting a child, a bucket list that included the desire to have sex with a child, and the “vast collection” of child pornography that included no adult sexual images. In his address to the court, Davy complained of being in custody for 257 days since his arrest—a fact perpetuated by his own defence—and he said it has had a “profound effect” on him. “In my first week in custody,” Davy said. “I was blindsided and knocked down by a vicious punch when inmates inadvertently learned of my charges.” While the sentencing hearing continues, Ormiston said the Crown was seeking 18 to 24 months in custody for the possession of child pornography charge, 26 months concurrent for the distribution charge, and a further six months to be served consecutively for the breach charge. Davy’s sentencing hearing continues and should conclude June 6.

Hard to swallow these numbers

◗ Publisher

f we’ve learned anything from the Great Recession, it’s that the country’s highest-paid CEOs will always survive—and thrive—no matter what happens to the economy. According to an annual review by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, the average compensation amongst Canada’s top 100 CEOs was $7.96 million in 2012. The average Canadian workers’s salary was $46,634. Do a little math and that works out to CEOs making about 171 times the earnings of the average worker. Here’s something to chew on: by the time the average Canadian worker was done lunch on Jan. 2 of this year, the top CEOs had already made their equivalent yearly wage. Kinda makes you want to lose your lunch. It’s not that we begrudge executives from being well compensated, it’s just that the gap between “us” and “them” continues to expand at a rate that is far beyond fair. CEO salaries have risen 73 per cent between 1998 and 2012. The average Canadian worker: six per cent. And despite the intense scrutiny CEO salaries have come under since 2008, there doesn’t seem to be any clear relationship between CEO salaries and corporate performance, according to report author Hugh Mackenzie. But maybe we Canadians shouldn’t complain; American CEOs make 257 times the average worker’s wage in that country.

Feeling sorry or sorry for himself

elf-loathing and self-pity are hard to tell apart from afar. Convicted child pornography distributer John Patrick Davy doesn’t like the way things are going for him in jail as he awaits to be sentenced for his crimes. “In my first week in custody,” the former Greendale elementary school teacher told the court in Chilliwack Tuesday. “I was blindsided and knocked down by vicious punch when inmates inadvertently learned of my charges.” Don’t all jump up with sympathy at once. I’ve been following the Davy story as closely as I can, and what I’ve learned is that he is a highly educated, intelligent and articulate man. And he likes to watch grown men have sex with little girls. It’s arguably worth noting that he has never been convicted, charged or even accused of doing anything to any child in reality. He likes videos and pictures of such things, abhorrent to be sure, but criminally less so than those who produce the material. Davy pleaded guilty to possession and

PAUL J. HENDERSON @peejayaitch distribution of child pornography, as well as for breaching his bail conditions after he was first arrested. With at least one family member in the court in April, Davy was in such constant motion, wincing, stretching and twisting, that he appeared to be in physical pain. The shame must be stifling. In court Tuesday, Davy asked to address the court before his own lawyer even began sentencing submissions. What he read to the court was, I suppose, an apology. There are many types of apologies. Many married people have experienced in their own relationship the apology along the lines of, “I’m sorry you are upset.” Then there are the criminal apologies that go “I’m sorry I got caught.”

Then, of course, there are legitimate apologies from guilty parties at all levels —from husbands to criminals—where the person in question realizes fully what they have done wrong, is cloaked in empathy for the wronged, and desperately wishes they could go back in time. Davy’s apology, with hands trembling and voice cracking seemed to be of the latter variety. But it’s hard to tell if he feels sorry or feels sorry for himself. It certainly wasn’t as shallow as the “I’m-sorry-you-are-upset” type, but I would argue was more of the “I’m-sorry-I-got-caught” type. In his 1,100-word speech, Davy pointed to the “profound effect” having been in custody for 257 days has had on him. The irony is that the typed out piece of paper he read from was dated April 22, 2014 and “257” had been hand-written over a crossed-out “211,” yet the only reason he’s been in pre-sentencing custody so long is because of his own lawyer’s delays. He says he is in an “incomprehensible

situation” and it has been an “immense challenge.” His statement reeked of a man who, like so many criminals, is sorry, very, very, very sorry. But mostly for himself. After he read his statement, and after the judge left the courtroom, he asked his lawyer to give the paper he read from to me. He knew I was a reporter and, presumably, wants his apology to the people of Greendale and the parents, students and former colleagues at Greendale elementary to be heard. I anticipate some will say he doesn’t deserve even the chance to apologize. Part of me thinks, “No, I’m not going to tell the people of Greendale how filled with ‘shame, humiliation and self-loathing’ you are. Someone might forgive you.” But the information gatherer in me, the journalist in me, says, “OK, here it is. What do you think?” To see Davy’s full statement as read in court on May 27 visit www.chilliwacktimes.com under this column in the Opinion section.

Local talent shines at CMO concert Editor: Wow! What a concert the Chilliwack Metropolitan Orchestra performed Saturday night (May 24). The music was rousing, familar, and played with such enthusiasm. The soloists showed the audience just how much amazing talent we have in our midst. And the new maestro, Greg Johnson, was not only entertaining, but also very capable of bringing the orchestra to encore and standing ovation heights. A great night for all present, and a loss for those who missed out. Congratulations to the CMO. Tony Maycock Chilliwack

Children love the free local air show Editor: Just two quick comments. First is the editorial cartoon for May 22 which I felt was well to the point. How true the captions, we seem so eager to do the right thing overseas but cannot do the right thing at home, eg. child poverty, homelessness and mental illness issues. Second comment has to do with the letter from Kathleen McCune. Living by the airport I have experienced Mr. Matheson flying overhead on numerous occasions. Just as point of information Ms McCune, it does not happen all that often and not for long durations and above all—when the grandkids hear him, they run outside to watch him because they love his flying.

Nothing bad about a ‘theatrical’ show Editor: Re: Historymaker ‘A Show of Faith” article by Paul J. Henderson in the May 18 Chilliwack Times. To my knowledge, everything I have ever read under Paul’s byline has been negative and I’m sure he can do better, otherwise he is a very sorrowful person. His article about Historymaker takes the cake. I had somehow expected to see him walk in, to see for himself, instead of going by someone else’s negative remarks. If he was there, he did not come in through “my” door. A pity. I was at both Historymakers, 2013 and 2014 in Chilliwack. I agree with the first column of his article and the first three lines of the second. So there are theatrical stage presentations—are Christians not allowed to enjoy such? Whether the guests are highly paid or not, I don’t know, that’s not my department: I am only a volunteer, but does he also whine about the “Rolling Stones” or any other band getting well paid for a presentation? That Sam Fenn became an atheist was not caused by Historymakers. That was his own misguided choice. Paul takes Sam Fenn’s sayings as the gospel truth. Why doesn’t he take the Gospel as the gospel truth? If he does not believe in God—let him look around: His proof is all over the place. Our beautiful mountains are not man-made, nor did they come about by chance. What does Sam Fenn see wrong with “an array of high-profile Pentecostal preachers?” Sam calls them ‘high profile’; they don’t call themselves that. I met them and they were all pleasant and very approachable to me, a simple doorman (sorry: doorwoman). But if you were to put up a conference of any kind, even if it is fly fishing, and you have people pay to come to it, and you have kids coming from all over B.C., Yukon and other places, would you not get the best speakers you can get, plus good intermittent entertainers? Of course, every well-organized event goes by the clock; that’s only good management. Don’t crack it down because it was done by Christians. What does Paul have against Christians? Doing what I was doing, I did not have any or very little close contacts with our young attendees, but I understand that there were no problems, they were well behaved. Hanny Kensington Chilliwack

Editor: “Families first”—easy to say, seemingly not so easy to fulfill. As a mother to a young child in the public school system and a former special needs working at an East Vancouver school I am appalled to find that our tax dollars are subsidizing the private/independent school system at the rate it is, while clearly the public school system is falling apart. I know some parents of children in private/independent schools will be angry (that is not my intention), arguing that they pay taxes and are entitled to tax dollars too. A moot point, it is a choice to send your child to a private/independent school plus we all pay taxes whether we have children or not. Here is what I have learned upon doing some research. According to a report in the Tyee, during 1977, the government of the day decided to provide funding to private/independent schools, why? Vote buying. At the time of this decision there were only 156 private/independent schools, by 2012-13 the number of private/independent schools soared to 367. The funding for group 1 private/independent schools is 50 per cent of the public districts per student grants, while group 2 receives 35 per cent. In 2010-11 this amounted to $249 million. According to B.C. Teachers’ Federation estimates based on Ministry of Education numbers for the 2014 budget, the public system’s funding increased by 16.9 per cent between 2005 to present while the private/independent system’s funding increased by 45.6 per cent. Quite a discrepancy. Now, I in no way am opposed to private/independent schools however I am opposed to the rate of funding they receive in light of the short comings of the public system. The government has the power to make a change. The percentage of payment could be lowered to 35 per cent for group 1 private/ independent schools, which would more than cover the $18 million short fall that the public system has to deal with. Teachers should not have to buy supplies with their own money because of a lack of funds, yet this happens all the time and has for years. B.C. teachers are among the lowest paid teachers in all of Canada while having one of the highest costs of living. The government is making teachers out to be the villain. “Families first” is the mantra, put your money where your mouth is and prove it. Our province is abysmal at taking care of our children. Our children will soon be adults

Freshly squeezed donations

he Book Man launches its annual Citrus-y Literacy campaign, starting Monday, June 2. This innovative fundraiser for the Chilliwack Learning Society (CLS) asks community members wishing to contribute to valuable literacy programming to stop by the Wellington Avenue bookstore to make a donation. This year The Book Man is introducing a wide array of options for donation. People can customize a paper lemon for $2, an orange for $5, a large lime for $10, or a giant orange for $20.

Downtown book store helps keep local literacy healthy

“Sustainability is always a concern for not-for-profits; The Book Man believes in the importance of literacy programming and hopes that likeminded people will stop by the bookstore to contribute to this very worthy cause,” said The Book Man co-owner Amber Short. Last year ’s funds went towards creating customized software for CLS’s Ladybug Book Bin Program, an ini-

tiative that places free children’s books for parents and children to read while they wait for services in various businesses around Chilliwack. Volunteers rotate and stock bins painted to look like cute little ladybugs with a wide array of children’s books, and the software enables the organization to easily track and maintain the books within the program.

Did you see stabbing?

Chilliwack RCMP are looking for witnesses to a stabbing downtown Chilliwack early May 20. The incident happened behind the businesses in the 9200 block of Young Road, south of Five Corners. Police responded to the stabbing report just after 5 a.m. The victim told police he was approached by a lone male and asked if he had a lighter. When the victim indicated that he did not, the suspect demanded money and stabbed the victim. Police are looking for a Caucasian male between 25 and 35 years of age who was wear-

Time-saving cleaning tricks H ouse cleaning is a chore few people relish. House cleaning can be monotonous and time-consuming. But ignoring cleaning tasks may leave you with a much larger mess to tackle. Cleaning does not have to be such a difficult job. There are a number of time-saving strategies to keep the mess to a minimum and keep your weekend afternoons free from all-day cleaning marathons. ◗ Do the dishes after every meal. A sink full of dishes can make the kitchen look like a mess, and letting dishes pile up increases the risk of an insect infestation. Although it may seem like a chore, keeping on top of dishes actually reduces your workload. If you’re lucky enough to have an automatic dishwasher, then load dishes directly into the dishwasher instead of putting dirty items into the sink.

◗ Protect your microwave. The inside of the microwave tends to get dirty rather quickly. Heating up snacks or quick meals may result in spill-overs or splatter. To cut down on cleaning time, stack several paper towels on the turntable. Should a spill occur, simply discard the top paper towel for an easy clean-up. ◗ Switch your soap. Glycerin or liquid soaps do not have traditional binders that are in many bar soaps. Without the binders, which are the primary cause of soap scum, you will have to contend with much less soap scum in showers and sinks. To further cut down on soap scum, use

penetration, moisture build-up and sound penetration. The long-term benefits of spray foam trump fibreglass and cellulose. You can be assured that your energy bill will be reduced by as much as half when you replace a traditional insulation with spray foam. To find out if your project is ready for spray foam insulation, take a look online at icynene.com and contact a licensed dealer who will provide a free estimate.

f you can’t decide between spray foam and traditional insulation, such as fibreglass or cellulose, a brief overview can reveal the cost-effectiveness and reliability of each. Experts tell us that fibreglass and cellulose are dated insulation methods that have certain limitations. For instance, the large gaps and permeability of traditional insulation allows for significant heat loss in the winter and air conditioning loss during the summer.

These products may have a cheaper up-front cost than spray foam, but in the long run, money is lost due to increasing energy bills as a result of air leakage. Additionally, traditional insulators have poorer sound barriers and are less effective against controlling airborne moisture. Spray foam, either open- or closed-cell, is now the leading insulation method. This innovation gives homes and buildings effective protection against air

A necessary evil of healthy living

a small, flexible squeegee to wipe down tile walls and glass doors after each shower. ◗ Work from the top down. Dust and dirt settles at the lowest levels. Avoid messing up what you have just cleaned by beginning any cleaning task high up and moving downward. Therefore, dust shelves and cobwebs from ceiling corners first, then tackle tables and other surfaces before ultimately cleaning the floors. ◗ Concentrate on one room at a time. Some people suffer from cleaning attention deficit disorder. This means they’ll begin one task and then go into another room for something and start a new task, and so on. Focus on one room at a time to save time. You will do a more thorough job with less frustration. ◗ Establish a drop zone. Foyers tend

staples are the workhorses of many cleaning projects. A mix of baking soda and vinegar can dislodge a clogged drain and be added to a wash to freshen towels and linens. A paste of baking soda can often scour tough stains, like marker, while vinegar has been known to neutralize pet odors from accidents. ◗ Think outside the box. A can of Coca-Cola can be effective at cleaning the ring in the toilet. An unsweetened package of Kool-Aid brand lemonade can be used to freshen and clean an empty dishwasher. The citric acid will scour the inside and get rid of any scaling or hard water stains. Cleaning is a task that may not be enjoyable, but it is a necessary evil of healthy living.

Invest in a hamper that enables you to sort clothing into different compartments, including lights, darks and delicates. This way the sorting is already done when it comes time for washing.

How do you like them apples?

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

Genetically engineered apple doesn’t go brown

“A mom’s job is never done, but feeding her kids healthy food that tastes great is always a top priority — we want to make that job even easier with nonbrowning ArcticR “apples!”

company, which has genetically engineered Golden Delicious and Granny Smith apples that do not go brown for weeks after being cut. The gene that make the apple go brown is silenced, and the apple is inserted with “nonbrowning apple genes,” according to the company. And while on the surface, this may sound a little like the solution to a problem that doesn’t exist, Okanagan Specialty Fruit says not only does the ArcticR apple help consumers (i.e. kids) get over the “yuck” factor of apple discolouration, enzymatic browning is a significant cost to the entire supply chain. The Arctic apple is currently not available anywhere in North America, but the company has trees in orchards in the U.S. and is seeking regulatory

otwithstanding the sexist language from a blog post by Joel Carter of Okanagan Specialty Fruits (don’t dads also want to feed their kids healthy food?) there is something decidedly creepy about this sentence. Maybe it’s the registered trademark symbol next to the name of a breed of apple. But mostly it’s the sales pitch tone . . . for a piece of fruit. “The perfect fruit just got even better.” Okanagan Specialty Fruits is a Summerland-based agriculture biotech

approval both there and in Canada. Not surprisingly, the backlash against the genetically engineered (GE) crop has been swift and fierce. This week, provincial NDP agriculture critic Nicholas Simons presented a 7,000-name petition in the Legislature requesting a moratorium on the GE apple. Simons and the Society for a GE Free BC say the provincial government has refused to carry out promised review of the GE apple. The promise in question was a Ministry of Agriculture response to a 2012 Union of B.C. Municipalities resolution to declare the province GE free in respect to all tree fruits because of the threat of DNA contamination of organic crops. “The Province recognizes that production of Genetically Engineered

(GE) fruit trees and their products, including tree fruit and pollen, raises human and environmental health concerns in export markets,” the Ministry wrote in 2012. “The Province will explore the complex GE fruit issue and the UBCM resolution to request legislation to prohibit the BC production, importation and export of GE fruit trees and their products.” That never happened. “Unless the B.C. government acts now, the GE apple could be approved before the promised review takes place,” said Tony Beck of the Society for a GE Free BC. “The government needs to carry out a review which is fair, transparent, and receives adequate input from consumers, farmers and scientific experts.” Even baby food producer Gerber

and restaurant chain McDonald’s confirmed in letters last year to Friends of the Earth in the U.S. that the two companies do not plan to sell or use the Arctic apple. The B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association has come out against the GM apple, and 20 small grocery stores in the province have committed to not purchasing or selling the Arctic apple in response to a request from the Health Action Network Society. But University of the Fraser Valley agriculture instructor Tom Baumann says people shouldn’t fear genetically engineered foods, indeed, the planet needs them. “Those suspicious of anything new and unusual will fight it, those that don’t know what genetical engineering actually means will be suspicious,” he told the Times. “Those that are hungry { See APPLES, page A31 }

Getting to the core of eating an apple BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

peaking of apples, here in the editorial department at the Times, we’ve recently uncovered a persistent myth that our society has fed us since time immemorial. News flash: There is no such thing as an apple core. Our revelation came from an article by James Hambling in The Atlantic entitled “Apple Cores Are a Myth.” He, in turn, was spurred on by a YouTube video entitled “How to Eat an Apple LIke a

Boss” on the FoodbeastTV channel. So here’s the thing: Roughly 30 per cent of the apple is discarded when eaten as normal and the “core” is tossed. But instead of eating the apple on the side, around and around, start at the bottom and eat it vertically. Here’s what you do: First, you scrape out any of the excess fuzziness from the very bottom of the apple and twist out the stem. Then start eating from the bottom. Because the fibrous bit through the centre is so thin, you won’t even notice it as you eat. You will, of course, come to the seeds, which

won’t kill you or make you sick, but you’ll likely want to spit them out or pick them out. Then it’s smooth sailing right on up to the top. It is a remarkably satisfying feeling to put that last bite of apple in your mouth with nothing (other than the stem and seeds) to discard. Hamblin estimates that if each American eats an apple a day at $1.30 per pound, that’s about $42 wasted per person per year, which is $13.2 billion annually. Let’s divide by 10 and call that $1.3 billion in Canada. Save the world; eat the whole apple.

Learn the proper way to wear a graduation mortarboard

give graduates the most difficulty is the mortarboard. The square academic cap is referred to as a “mortarboard” because of its similarity in appearance to the hawk or hod tool used by masons to hold mortar. It can be a cumbersome piece that may slip off if not worn correctly or if it is sized incorrectly. The cap of the mortarboard should fit snugly on the head. It should not rest on the top of the head, but fit well enough to cover at least the top one-third of the head. If the cap seems loose, graduates may want to use a few bobby pins to keep it in place. The mortarboard should be posi-

tioned so that its point faces the middle of the forehead. When viewed from above, it should create a diamond shape, not a square. Also, the mortarboard should be horizontal (parallel) to the floor. Imagine it to be a flat surface on which a cup or book can be placed. If the mortarboard is tilted upward, it is worn incorrectly. Some graduates position the mortarboard poorly to accommodate hairstyles. However, it should be flat and secure on top of the head. A tassel is the final component of the mortarboard. It is affixed to the top of the cap by a loop around a button. The tassel indicates the level of academic achievement. Graduates who will be receiving a high school diploma or an undergraduate degree from a college or university will wear the tassel so that it hangs over the front-right side of the mortarboard. Once the diplomas are received, graduates will be instructed to flip the tassel over to the lefthand side. Graduates receiving a Master’s degree begin with the tassel on the front left side and switch it over the right after receiving their diplomas.

The Board of Education congratulates this year’s graduating class. Together with the community we celebrate the hope and promise for the future that your graduation represents. 6499554

raduation season is upon us, and that means students from all over the country are preparing for the next chapter in their lives. But before they further their educations or enter the job market, they must first participate in a long-running tradition: the graduation ceremony. At this event full of pomp and circumstance, graduates will be required to wear some sort of unifying, formal dress to set themselves apart from others. Many schools use the traditional cap and gown for graduations. This consists of a robed gown and tassel-topped mortarboard that usually coordinate with the official school colors. Graduates also may wear other accoutrements depending on the level of their degrees. This tradition dates back to medieval Europe when students wore special uniforms each day to denote they were scholars. But today’s students dress up in academic regalia only during commencement proceedings or other graduation-related events. Of the various components of graduation dress, the one that may

the Counterattack Program. The Victoria Regional Transit System embraced the program in 1990. Over the past 24 years, the number of participating communities has grown. Last year, there were 20 communities involved in the program. In 2014, GradPASS will be given to students in Chilliwack. “The safety of young people is of paramount concern, and the province, local governments,

BC Transit and parents support students’ smart decisions to take transit during graduation celebrations,” said Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Todd Stone. “I congratulate this year’s high school grads and wish them well on their journey forward.” “On behalf of all of us at BC Transit, we offer best wishes to all graduates as they begin the next chapter of their lives,” said

BC Transit President and CEO Manuel Achadinha. “We hope this graduation present is the start of a lifetime commitment to sustainable transportation choices.” GradPASS is easy to use: students simply scratch off their two chosen travel days and show the card to their bus driver. GradPASS is not transferable and can only be used on participating local systems.

Graduation ceremonies can sometimes prove tiresome, but there are ways for graduates and their families to stay engaged during the proceedings and enjoy the festivities.

chool commencement ceremonies are right around the corner, meaning thousands of students and assorted friends and family members will participate in celebrations littered with life-affirming speeches and the distribution of well-earned diplomas. Graduation can certainly be a momentous event that is remembered for years to come. But some ceremonies are remembered for all the wrong reasons. Lengthy run-times and uncomfortable conditions can turn commencement celebrations into exercises in survival. Nerves may run high, and boredom may set in. But there are ways to make the best of the situation. ◗ Get adequate rest before the ceremony. Soon-to-be graduates should go to bed early the night before the ceremony in preparation for their big day. Some commencement ceremonies begin early in the morning, and feeling rushed or exhausted from a poor

night’s rest can only compound nerves and anxiety. Graduation eve should be a low-key night when grads and their friends and family enjoy a quiet meal and some time to reflect on the last several years. ◗ Dress accordingly. Grads should watch the weather report and dress for the weather under the gown. Many schools opt to hold the preceedings outdoors because the open space can accommodate more people. This subjects participants to the weather, whether that means blazing sun or wet and rainy conditions. Be sure to dress comfortably. If the ceremony is indoors, realize it may be hotter than normal in the auditorium or they may have the air conditioning turned up to overcompensate. Dressing in layers is may be your best option. ◗ Leave young kids at home. Graduation ceremonies can last for several hours, during which the audience is expected to remain quiet and attentive. Such expec-

tations may prove challenging to youngsters. Encourage family members to keep young children at home; they can always enjoy the post-ceremony party later on. ◗ Protect your skin when attending outdoor ceremonies. Even if the meteorologist warns of thunderstorms, play it safe and coat yourself in sunscreen. This will protect your skin if you’re sitting out in the sun and afterward when standing outside as well-meaning family members insist on taking photos on campus. ◗ Eat before the ceremony and stay hydrated. Don’t skip breakfast on graduation morning. Eat a hearty meal that will hold you over until after the commencement. Make sure to stay hydrated and bring a bottle of water with you to the ceremony. A graduation ceremony is a special event, but one that can be lengthy and tiresome. But there are ways to make it through the ceremony more manageable.

Have You Considered Work Experience? The SD#33 Work Experience Dept. would like to invite employers to join them in their efforts to provide secondary school students with valuable Work Experience opportunities. Students are placed according to their interests, and are matched with local employers who are committed to teaching students about their business or trade. Students gain insight into various aspects of their chosen career area, as well as earning credits toward graduation. Work Experience placements are unpaid and WCB coverage is provided by the School District. Employers have the opportunity to give back to their community and develop a potential base of new employees. We continue to look for new and exciting opportunities for our students. Seasonal work, community events, special projects – student helpers can be a GREAT addition to your organization. Attention Parents: Did you know that the Work Experience Dept. is open all summer?! If your son or daughter has not yet completed their Work Experience requirements for graduation, summer is a perfect time for them to get involved! If you are interested in sponsoring a student for a Work Experience placement, please contact the SD#33 Work Experience Dept. at (604) 792-4327 or workexperience@sd33.bc.ca

Darlene Allison has been carving stone for 14 years, and will be sharing her process with students and patrons of the Fraser Valley Regional Library this June. BY DESSA BAYROCK Special to the Times

oday Darlene Allison is working outside, roughing out the shape of the carvings and completing some preliminary wet polishing. It’s the first nice day after a patch of rain, and after her power tools spin down the sounds of children playing float across the yard. “I prefer to work by hand,” she says, sunshine slipping into her voice. “You can feel the stone and you take your time. You can hear the sound of the files and the chisels.” “It’s almost magical.” Allison is one of two Aboriginal artists-in-residence at Fraser Valley

Library rocks out with artist/stone carver Darlene Allison Regional Library (FVRL) this summer, pairing with Jay Havens on a cross-valley library tour over the month of June. She’ll be kicking off the tour in Chilliwack this Monday, June 2, at 10 a.m., while Havens starts in Langley and will make his way to Chilliwack at the end of June. Allison will be bringing two carving projects with her on her library tour this summer, but don’t worry—she promises to leave the power tools at home. “I didn’t want to make a big mess in the library. It’s not the cleanest hobby I’ve got here,” she says with a laugh.

“They’ll get a chance to see all the tools I use when I work by hand. I’m not bringing in my compressor.” Her two FVRL carvings are relatively small at 35 pounds each, but she has a couple larger projects in the works for the rest of the summer, including delicate work on a piece of local stone weighing 208 pounds. The finished product will be a school of salmon, gently curving with the shape of the rock. “It’s going to be in a lace-like pattern, so you’ll see in between each of them,” she describes. “It’s a very beautiful stone—delicate, too, so it doesn’t like

vibrations from power tools.” The smaller FVRL projects will be a little faster to finish, helped along by student and patron participation at the library. As part of her library visits, Allison will give a demonstration in wet polishing—one of the final stages —and then get the audience to try their hand at it. “I’d like to be able to bring it to the finished stage with them so they can see the different colours of the stone,” she says. This is the first time FVRL has invited aboriginal artists to summer residencies, but library programs co-ordinator

Kim Davison says they hope it won’t be the last. “The point of the program is to try to build trust and strengthen relationships, build some more cultural understanding,” she says. “Our libraries are on different First Nations traditional land, and we just wanted to bring people of all cultures in our communities together around these local cultures and these local artists.” ◗ Allison will be at the Chilliwack library branch on Monday, June 2 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for the tour kick-off. Havens will be at the Chilliwack library on June 26 with the same hours. See www.fvrl.bc.ca or the FVRL program guide for a full list of tour dates and program information.

Spring fling

Six days, eight shows, 32 performances, 105 students

Submitted photo

Odin Lithgow, Wolfgang Lithgow, and Mitchell Courtemanche take to the stage in Circus Olympus, one of eight shows on offer as part of CSOPA’s annual Spring Festival. BY DESSA BAYROCK Special to the Times

troupe of young actors takes to the stage this June for a spring festival of theatre, music and more. Artistic director Andrew Smith says the Chilliwack School of Performing Arts (CSOPA) has grown by leaps and bounds in the last five years, and the size and scope of this year’s annual Spring Festival is the result. “It’s snowballed from something that was just fun—a little get-together at the end of the spring term—into something that would probably rival the Fraser Valley Zone Festival in terms of numbers,” he says. Some performances are the final projects of students who have been in rehearsals since the fall. Other students began working towards the spring festival as soon as curtains closed on CSOPA’s main stage production Shrek in January. The spring festival is a chance for all of CSOPA’s

students—from junior to senior, newbie to experienced student, age eight to 22—to put their joint efforts towards a single project and appear on the same stage. Think of it as a not-so-miniature theatre festival: eight shows take to the stage over six days, playing a handful of times each. The content ranges from one-act musicals to scenes and solos put together by the advanced classes. Ten years ago, CSOPA’s spring showcase saw a little fewer than 25 students on stage. Now, Smith says, “105 kids cycle through our door daily.” And it’s only getting bigger and better from here. “Each year it’s about wanting to strengthen programming, it’s about wanting to strengthen production, it’s about wanting to try to include as many artists as we can with our operation,” Smith says. “It’s about wanting to enhance the performance opportunities we offer to students.” Looking back on his decade as

(MJHP TZY \JJPQ^ Ć^JWX

CSOPA’s artistic director, Smith might be most proud of the variety of instructors he was able to borrow from the professional world, letting the kids learn from real-life performers. “The kids can kind of learn almost by osmosis what it’s like to be an actor, be a performer, to be on top of their game,” Smith says. “Whenever there’s a new instructor that’s brought in, the methodology is different, the approach to the art is different. Which is fascinating. I think it broadens and strengthens anyone’s education when you’re taught the same thing two or three or eight different ways. “ And this strength and breadth is what CSOPA students will be showing off at the Spring Festival from June 2 to 7 at the Chilliwack Victory Church on Henderson Avenue. ◗ For more information, a festival schedule or to purchase tickets, visit www.CSOPA.ca. Tickets range between $8 to $10 per seat, and may also be purchased at the door.

‘Surreal’ feeling for Miss Teen Fraser Valley

BY DESSA BAYROCK Special to the Times

hat does it feel like to be Miss Teenage Fraser Valley? “It’s surreal!” laughs Shovanna Pratap. “But I still feel normal.” The 19-year-old Chilliwack native graduated from G. W. Graham and is now in the bachelor of science program at the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV). One day, she hopes to earn a doctorate of pharmacy. But for now, Shovanna is focusing

on participating in as many community events as she can, donning crown and sash and all the rest to appear as Miss Teenage Fraser Valley. She has a history of volunteerism from long before ever entering the pageant, but she says it’s a totally different experience as Miss Teenage Fraser Valley. “When you’re wearing a crown and a sash, people seem to look at you in a different way,” she says.

Her summer project involves collecting gift baskets from community sponsors to serve as raffle prizes, with proceeds going to Free the Children. She’s on the hunt for sponsors now, and jokingly warns store managers everywhere that she might be showing up on their doorstep at any time to ask for a donation. The whole experience—from applying online to finally earning the tiara on

March 3—has been a whirlwind experience. And it doesn’t stop here. With a little luck and some community support, she hopes to fight for the national title in Toronto this July. But at the end of the day, she says the most important thing she can do is remember to be a role model and a real person, not just a princess with a sash and a crown. ◗ If you’re interested in sponsoring

The genetically engineered non-browning ArcticR apple created by Okanagan Specialty Fruit.

50% of food is thrown out { APPLES, from page A16 } everywhere on the planet would love to have it. We have the choice to say no to GE products; most people on the planet have no choice at all.” Baumann argues that genetic engineering is simply the next and most recent step in plant and animal husbandry that began when humans left the nomadic lifestyle and settled down to farm. Baumann concedes mistakes were made along the way (e.g. Roundup resistant weeds), and he says it is right that every step along the biotech route should be scrutinized and doubted. “We should not believe everything and think government saves us magically,” he said, but added we have been consuming some GE products, such as lecithin, knowingly and unknowingly for decades. “We are now entering a phase in our global world where we are in need to feed nine billion people (today around seven billion) by 2050. Unless that increase in people diminishes by disease, war or policy, we cannot feed that amount of people from our current agriculture land and have to become yet another step more efficient.” Beck responded to Baumann’s comments by saying that the notion we need GE crops and animals to feed the world is an old one, and one that even biotech companies don’t roll out anymore. “On food shortages, as

you may know we now have as many obese people in the world as hungry people, and 50 per cent of food in North America is thrown away,” he said. “Sixty per cent or more of GE crops go to feed livestock in large feedlots, which is a terrible use of resources in terms of relieving hunger. “In Canada about four million people go hungry every year, but I don’t see a lack of food.” And for the genetic modifications made by Okanagan Specialty Fruit in its Arctic apple? “I don’t think anyone has yet made an argument that a non-browning apple is going to help deal with the world hunger problems,” he said. Baumann suggested that labelling may be the answer. “And those that can afford it will not buy GE food and those that decide it’s perfectly fine will keep purchasing it,” he said. The company itself has opposed mandatory labelling, but has said it will voluntarily label its Arctic apple. That label, however, won’t say it’s non-browning nor will it say it’s GE, but, they say, consumers will have a choice and “most will seek out Arctic apple!” This debate won’t go away any time soon. ◗ Check out the campaign against the GE apple at gefreebc.wordpress.com and www.cban.ca, and find out the company’s perspective at www. okspecialtyfruits.com and www.arcticapples.com.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the loss of Nicolaas (Nick) Hubertus Hendrix who passed away peacefully in his 79th year amongst his loving family on Saturday, May 24th, 2014 in Port Moody, BC. Nick is survived by his wife of 54 years Martha and his four daughters Yolanda (David), Fiona (John), Cynthia (Ron), Melva (Ray). Nick was born in Urmond, Holland and immigrated to Canada in 1957 when he fell in love with its beauty and opportunities. On a return visit to Holland he met Martha, the love of his life and in 1960 they wed and settled in Prince George. In 1967 they moved to Chilliwack, which they have faithfully called home for the past 47 years. Nick was well known in Chilliwack through his 35 years as a realtor, retiring from Canada Permanent Trust in 1991. He was one of the top realtors in Chilliwack for many years, winning numerous awards locally and across Canada, and is a past-president of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. Over the years Nick was an avid antique collector, seeking many treasures at local auctions and garage sales. He especially loved collecting and repairing clocks. Throughout his retirement, he could be seen on a regular basis enjoying a cup of coffee along with his many friends at the local McDonalds. Nickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other great passion was travelling and exploring the many wonders of the world with his lovely wife Martha by his side. But most of all he cherished every moment he could spend with his five grandchildren, Payton, Maranda, Taylor, Joshua, and Sean. Nick was a loving devoted husband, a wonderful father and an adoring Opa. He is one of five brothers and one sister and is uncle to many nieces and nephews in Holland whom he loved dearly. He will forever remain in our hearts and in our memories. A special thank you to Crossroads Hospice in Port Moody for their exceptional care and immense support. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Crossroads Hospice Society, or BC Arthritis Society. Service and reception to be held Monday, June 2, 2014, 11:00am, St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roman Catholic Parish, 8909 Mary Street, Chilliwack. 6512293
