UFV students tackle Sto:lo stories through documentaries BY DESSA BAYROCK Special to the Times

isual arts instructor Stephanie Gould has seen more than a few variations on group work—and one particular program stands out in her mind. “When students work in a cohort, something happens,” she says. She’s talking about the Lens of Empowerment project, which returns to the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) this fall. It joins lens-based media with First Nations culture and puts students in the middle of the mix, where they bond over the course of two semesters and five classes. “The project is a transformative experience for everybody,” Gould says. “Within and between and through all those relationships within the cohort—that’s such a rich learning experience.” Gould, who has been a part of the project since its inception, says the structure creates a safe place for conversation and creation, involving students from all cultures, genders, and backgrounds. Over the course of a year, the students’ own stories will mix with Indigenous culture and storytelling, through courses in theatre, visual arts, and Indigenous studies. Eventually their stories will be expressed through short documentaries— their final projects culminating in something like a miniature film festival. Lens of Empowerment was last offered in 2012, and four of the eleven students ended up flying to London to showcase their projects at an international conference. { See STO:LO, page A22 }

Transformative experience

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com s Jeff Karpes lay on the road in front of Prospera Centre in the early hours of Dec. 23, 2012, one of his lungs started to collapse and he was bleeding out of two bullet holes in his chest. Karpes spoke through tears in BC Supreme Court on Tuesday, and explained how, as he lay there, he called 9-1-1. “I told them I was shot,” he said. “I told them that Aaron had shot me and that I just wanted my kids to know that I loved them.” The 47-year-old’s words were part of his testimony on day two of the attempted murder trial for Aaron James David Douglas. After calling for help, Karpes then called his wife, Theresa Conlon, a woman who used to date Douglas and is the mother of his child. “I just told Theresa to tell Calder [Karpes’ adult son] that I loved him. I said, ‘He got me.’ I didn’t even have to say anything else.” Karpes knew Conlon would have understood the words ‘he got me’ because both said in court this week they had received threats from Douglas prior to the shooting. And despite a restraining order against him, Douglas approached the couple and sucker-punched Karpes at a mixed martial arts event two months earlier. “He said he was going to riddle the place, shoot it up,” Conlon said of Douglas during her testimony on Monday.

Judge had no doubt couple lived in drug house

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

This week A on the web Head-on collision claims the life of 87-year-old woman An 87-year-old woman is dead after a three-vehicle accident Saturday in Chilliwack. The crash occurred at the intersection of Ashwell and Lazenby roads after 3 p.m. Saturday. In addition to the fatality, two other people were critically injured and, as of Monday morning, remained in hospital.

35-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman were convicted on drug trafficking charges in Chilliwack Court Monday in connection with a bust at a Princess Avenue apartment last August. Travis Schroeder and Samantha Cole were found guilty of two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking and one count of drug possession, but were found not guilty in connection with stolen fire department

equipment. Judge Terence S chultes accepted the “highly persuasive,” if mostly circumstantial, evidence directly linking the two to a drug operation out of an apartment in the 46000-block of Princess Avenue. In late August last year, Mounties seized methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin and 100 pounds of brass couplings and face plates used for fire suppression by the Chilliwack Fire Department. Lawyers for Schroeder and Cole, Gurpreet Gill and Grant

Dickin respectively, had argued the couple’s connection to the drug house was unclear and may provide a reasonable doubt. Schultes said that when Schroeder was arrested in a vehicle on Aug. 28, he was found with more than $1,000 in cash, 8.72 grams of methamphetamine, digital scales, empty baggies and a smartphone later linked to drug sales. When the apartment, which had been under surveillance for some time, was searched by police, Cole was found inside with a number of other men,

Sometimes it is too late to say you’re sorry said “he is so embarrassed and ashamed of his actions” for his participation along with two other men in a 2012 break-andenter where a sleeping couple were terrorized and robbed in their home. “Clearly there is no guilty plea here,” Crown Counsel Grant Lindsay pointed out. “That would have been an actual show of remorse.”

The incident involved the 45-year-old Tkachuk, David Lee Ganaway, 31, and Marc Cadieux, 42, breaking into a home where a couple was asleep. The trio proceeded to beat the husband, threaten the wife and steal a significant amount of jewelry and cash from a safe. The uninsured couple lost approximately $50,000 and they spent a further $10,000 in secu-

rity upgrades after the incident. The couple also—senselessly, according to Lindsay—had family videos stolen and discarded. But worst of all, they were traumatized and have suffered mentally and emotionally. “It’s callous to terrorize people this way in their own home,” Lindsay told the court. Tkachuk’s lawyer argued that he feels remorse, he is a

he provincial government’s new Park Amendment Act means B.C.’s beloved provincial parks are under threat of increased industrial development, according to critics. “Our parks are in some serious trouble as a result of this new legislation, so today we stand up for them,” said Wilderness Committee national campaign director Joe Foy on Saturday, Canada Parks Day. Foy and volunteers were at Bridal Veil Falls Park Saturday as part of province-

wide rallies to demand the Park Amendment Act be repealed. “Pipeline giant Kinder Morgan already has a permit to conduct research in Bridal Veil Falls Park, and it’s just one of five protected areas that are threatened by the company’s proposed tar sands pipeline,” Foy said in a press release. “Rather than clearing the path for pipelines and other industrial projects, our provincial government should be stepping up to expand and improve the world-class park system that British Columbians have worked

The judge interrupted Gill to point out that participating in a robbery to “help” someone else did not engender sympathy. “That counts for almost nothing,” Joyce said. { See VIOLENT, page A12 }

Sprint towards history BY GREG LAYCHAK Chilliwack Times

ucked in a corner of the Cheam Mountain Golf Course clubhouse, twenty academics pored over textbooks and tapped away on laptops Saturday in an effort to make educational history. The participants, who all have doctorates in psychology, gathered from around British Columbia to create a body of high-quality test questions for the Open Textbook Project. “These are freely licensed textbooks that are available for faculty to use and to replace publisher’s content—which can often cost $250 for a textbook for a course,” said Clint LaLonde. “We’re trying to lower the cost of education for students.” LaLonde is the manager of open education at BCcampus, a publicly-funded organization committed to developing and promoting more transparent and accessible education resources. After two days of collaboration, the group wrote 851 questions covering 15

› News { DOUGLAS, from page A1 }

Douglas is well-known to Chilliwack RCMP, and has a long criminal record with convictions on weapons and drug charges. Karpes himself is no saint, something defence counsel Ken Beatch pointed out during the shooting victim’s time on the stand Tuesday. Karpes is a former drug dealer. At the time of the shooting, Karpes worked as a bootlegger, providing an illegal after-hours alcohol delivery service. Two days before he was shot, he was called to deliver a bottle to a Cleveland Avenue address. He had delivered bottles to the address before, but this time something was different. He was told by a man he was at the wrong house. He started to turn his SUV around to leave when the vehicle was hit by at least two bullets, both of which missed him. The next night, Dec. 21, 2012, Karpes got a call for a bottle delivery to a house on the Skwah First Nation reserve at the east end of Wellington Road near McCammon traditional elementary school. He told the court the call came from the same woman who called him to the Cleveland address. He delivered the bottle and left quickly. Much later that night, in the early hours of Dec. 22, he was called to deliver again to the same address. He told the caller to meet him outside the reserve at the corner of Wellington and Ashwell roads. Karpes testifed that as he sat waiting for the woman to walk towards where he was parked, what he saw instead was Douglas with a handgun

Karpes shot twice in the chest aimed at him. “I saw Aaron. I saw Aaron and Aaron shot me,” he told the court. He testified that he slumped to the left of his vehicle and pretended he was dead. After a few moments, he started the jeep and drove off turning left onto Ashwell. When he got to the intersection of Ashwell and Hodgins/Wolfe, he stopped, got out and felt the need to lie on the ground. That’s when he says he called 9-1-1 and his wife. Much of the afternoon Tuesday was spent with a heated cross-examination of Karpes by Beatch. Douglas’s lawyer started by calling him an ex-drug dealer. He focused on the amount of money Karpes likely had with him on his liquor runs and the risk of robbery he must have faced. Beatch asked about a pharmaceutical Karpes takes for a nerve condition, which apparently causes some form of memory loss. The lawyer also pointed to the vehicle he was driving the night of the shooting. For his business, Karpes said he uses rental vehicles. After the Dec. 20 incident where his rented SUV was shot up, he was without a vehicle. So his friend Jerry Elliott let him borrow a Jeep he wasn’t using. Elliott, who himself has an extensive criminal record (and is currently in jail for a vicious hammer attack in the Chilliwack River Valley in 2013), was also previously the victim of a drive-by shooting. Beatch was clearly laying the groundwork for reasonable doubt

suggesting that Karpes might have been the subject of robbery, he might not remember things as well as he could have, and he may even have been the victim of mistaken identity. But Beatch spent most of his time Tuesday addressing inconsistencies with Karpes’ various statements, including: to police after the Dec. 20 shooting and after the Dec. 22 shooting; again in hospital; to the court at the preliminary hearing; and earlier in the day Tuesday. Beatch got Karpes to all but admit that he did not even see a person at all after the Dec. 20 shooting, even though he described someone to police. “I suggest you are doing the same thing today,” Beatch said of the Dec. 22 shooting. “You didn’t see anyone. All you saw was muzzle flash.” Karpes responded: “If you are accusing me of lying on the second shooting, why wouldn’t I have just put him away on the first shooting? That’s what you are making me out to be, a liar in both cases. I could have saved myself the lead in the chest, couldn’t I?” Beatch insisted that Karpes was convinced the shooter was Douglas because he wanted the man in jail, but that he didn’t really see him. “You can’t close your eyes and see the shooter, can you?” Beatch asked Karpes. “I don’t have to close my eyes,” he responded. “He is sitting right there.” The trial continued Wednesday, Thursday and was scheduled to possibly wrap up Friday.

Booze and boats don’t mix

◗ Publisher

ith the current temperatures heating up the Fraser Valley, staying cool is important. However, the Canadian Safe Boating Council is reminding all boat owners that drinking and boating is illegal and unwise. According to CSBC, about 40 per cent of all boating-related fatalities are alcohol-related. The CSBC, along with law enforcement agencies across the country are using the August long weekend to remind all boaters, including sailboats, canoes and kayaks to raise awareness about boating and drinking with Operation Dry Water. In the second year of the campaign, Operation Dry Water aims to reduce the number of alcohol-related fatalities on Canadian waterways as well as provide a visible deterrent to drinking and boating. With three gorgeous lakes to choose from, Chilliwack boaters and visitors have plenty of opportunities to cool off without having to resort to alcohol. According to the Criminal Code of Canada, a boater can be charged with impaired operation of a vessel if their blood alcohol concentration exceeds the 0.08 threshold while operating a vessel. A first offence can see the boater liable for a fine of $600. A second offence carries a 14-day prison sentence, and a third offence extends that to 90 days. With the number of vessels plying the waters of Chilliwack, Cultus and Harrison lakes, especially during tourist season, it is imperative all operators be alert to their surroundings.

Come see the wheels in action

walked in and out of Chilliwack Court four times on Tuesday, each time putting my notebooks, iPhone and car keys in a tray and—airport-style—walk through a metal detector manned by our friendly, local sheriffs. This isn’t normal procedure. It’s only put in place (I suppose) on days when there is a chance that a court proceeding involves an accused who might bring some dodgier folks to the courthouse. And that’s saying something. Every day at the Chilliwack Courthouse we see justice—ugly, slow and awkward as it is—play out. Here’s the thing: You should go. Check it out. Sit in the open gallery and watch the proceedings. Over the years I have bemoaned the fact that so few people (i.e. usually none) show up to Chilliwack city council meetings. They may be watching at home on Shaw or online, but given how low voter turnout for municipal elections is, I doubt it. With city hall, at least I can understand why people don’t want to watch. It’s mostly pretty dull and bureaucratic.

PAUL J. HENDERSON @peejayaitch At court, on the other hand, here we see the most juicy details of people’s most wretched acts described in open court. Stories of broken childhoods, addiction to narcotics, abuse, neglect, arson, robbery, assault, even murder. This is human drama—usually tragedy, rarely comedy—unfolding day after day after day. This is also not to say that one should watch these proceedings as spectacle or entertainment. But while just about everyone, when asked, will offer an opinion on a certain criminal or a sentence handed to said individual, very few people actually see the wheels of justice grinding. And I think that’s a shame. While crime on TV and in movies is watched widely, there are very few court watchers, at least that I’ve ever noticed. Bored at home? Come on down to the

courthouse to watch a trial. Nothing good on daytime TV? Come see a bail review or an arraignment or a sentencing hearing. One warning: there is a lot of hurryup-and-wait in the justice system. Law and Order this ain’t. And most court appearances are so brief that they exist just to arrange the next one. “Our wonderful justice system at work,” I heard a Crown Counsel lawyer once mutter as he wandered the hall, looking for defence counsel to come deal with the stack of files awaiting in courtroom 204. The busiest days at the courthouse are Monday and Tuesday, where the hall is filled with a throng of people standing around, waiting to fight traffic tickets or have first appearances on criminal matters. The gathering reeks of bad choices, substance abuse and sometimes downright thuggery. There are, among others, the deer-in-the-headlight first offenders clad in ill-fitted suits accompanied by mom; barrel-chested, angry-looking fellows with neck tattoos; and shameless,

twitchy drug addicts. In and among those folks on Mondays and Tuesdays are police officers with the patience of Job, and average joes there to fight speeding tickets looking a little like they got off the bus in the wrong neighbourhood. Saddest of all at the courthouse, arguably, is the over-representation of First Nations, both young and old. Just this week I saw as a 68-year-old severe alcoholic was cuffed and brought to serve five days in jail because probation, in his lawyer’s own words, would be useless because he can never remember to visit the probation office. Then down near the registry, I watched as a sheriff put handcuffs on a very young-looking First Nations man as a very young woman holding a toddler watched and cried. On one day recently, Judge Steven Point, a prominent Sto:lo citizen and former Lieutenant-Governor, twice had to stand a matter down because he knew the accused personally. Sad indeed, but this is justice in action. Come check it out.

Why is Strahl afraid of issues? Editor: I am impressed with the provincial government initiative to review highway speed limits. The review generated public discussion, and this discussion prompted a change to some posted speed limits. I believe this type of discussion should continue to be encouraged and initiated by our elected public servants on a much wider range of topics. Federally, voters have heard very little about Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP), which could be seen as an agreement to create the North American Union, an economic state much like the EU. Canadians should also be discussing a similar deal, the Trans-Pacific Partnership(TPP), which is being negotiated by our elected reps right now. It sounds as if we are being included in a large geographic union of countries that could impose on Canada’s sovereignty and our right to self-government. Could we talk about Canada’s participation in an endless series of wars. The average Canadian could not tell you why we went to Afghanistan and spent $11 to $22 billion. Currently, Canadian reps have stated that we are strongly against the current leadership of Syria. We believe that Iran has a rogue nuclear program, and we support Israel’s bombing of Gaza. Jordan had a refugee crisis and it did not take much persuasion for Canada to sent $100 million. Canadian politicians contin-

But, I was taught that my MP was my voice, or at least the voice of my neighbours and me, in Ottawa. I don’t recall the

legislation that changed that relationship. Why then does Mark Strahl not at least mention any of the previous federal issues in his “Have Your Say” brochure? I urge Chilliwack voters to use his postage paid, return envelope to direct Mr. Strahl to the adult issues that are facing Canada as a nation.

Editor: Ryder Lake residents are currently being warned about the presence of bears in their neighbourhood and to take necessary steps to prevent them from getting too close for comfort. In the same vein, I would also like to caution drivers on Mountain Park Drive from an influx of deer that are settling down quite nicely in neighbourhood yards and gardens. The problem is, that at the top of the drive in the curve, there is a cluster of hidden driveways that give the deer easy access to the front and back of properties, as well as for them to cross over from one side of the road to the other.

› Faith Today BY GRAHAM MCMAHON Chilliwack Church of the Nazarene

’m sure we’ve all had the experience. We are talking with a friend, a spouse, a child, perhaps asking them to do something or communicating a point of view, and we know they have ears, and we know they can hear us, but we’re not sure they’re listening to us. The outcome is what gives it away. What we ask for doesn’t get done, or there is misunderstanding and conflict. Jesus had a saying he used often. It came out in various forms and lengths, but one was, “Let anyone with ears listen” (Matthew 11:15). Jesus was aware that just because we have ears, we do not always listen. The Greek word he used for “listen” implies understanding and understanding meant action. That

Let anyone with ears listen action could mean obedience or it could simply mean seeking to understand more about the person speaking. Listening is important. It’s probably one of the most important practices in all of life and it’s key to following Jesus. Not only does listening result in obedience to the ways of Jesus, it is one of the ways of Jesus. Jesus’ teaching to love one another and our neighbours means we need to listen to others. Listening is the key to any relationship, be it marriage, family, dating, friendship, work, or even civic. Listening is not easy. Our pride,

opinions, impatience, laziness, tempers, and strivings for power can get the best of us. The apostle James picked up on this in his letter to Christians spread through the Roman Empire: “You must understand this, my beloved: let everyone be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger” (James 1:19). Quick to listen. Slow to speak. Now that’s hard. Yet it is the practice we perhaps need the most in our lives, our cities, our country, and in the international community. I have found myself disheartened recently over the anger, the vitriol, and the violence that is so quick-

ly turned to. I see it in the news, all levels of politics, in the current global conflicts, and in personal lives. It seems as though we do not know how to listen to one another, nor how to disagree. Others are labeled as bigots, hateful, or evil because they do not hold the same point of view over a particular issue. Rather than seek to understand the other and leave space for disagreement, which takes time, effort, patience, and grace, it’s easier and quicker to close our ears and stick to our guns (metaphorically speaking, but all too often literally as well). But at what cost?

We all have ears to listen, we simply need to take the time to use them. Conflict and misunderstanding are all remedied through listening. When we listen to others, even to those we have a disagreement with, we make space for them and this is love and the way to peace. In another adaptation of his favourite saying, Jesus gave this command: “But I say to you that listen, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you” (Luke 6:2628). I cannot think of another exhortation more relevant for our lives and world today. It’s not easy, but will we listen and learn to listen to others? ◗ Graham McMahon is a pastor serving the Chilliwack Church of the Nazarene. Feel free to contact him at 4theneighbourhood@gmail.com.

Gill also argued during the trial and again at the sentencing hearing that her client did not think anyone would be in the house when the plan was hatched. Neither the Crown nor the judge buy it. “They didn’t leave when they found it wasn’t empty,” Lindsay said. Joyce said he didn’t believe it since the men entered the house wearing masks, and the plan was to get the contents of a safe, which required someone to open it. “They knew that there were people in the house,” Joyce told Gill. Of the two other participants in the home invasion, Ganaway was charged first and gave up his two partners. He pleaded guilty early on and was sentenced to two years, eight months, including time served in custody.

The third man, Marc Cadieux, was the leader in the plot. He was convicted earlier this year and is still before the courts facing a dangerous offender designation. Cadieux was also convicted of attempting to steal an ATM machine from a Chilliwack convenience store in May of 2012 while dressed like a police officer. Crown counsel is asking for four years in jail for Tkachuk, minus time served. Tkachuk has now served 637 days in custody and Lindsay asked for a complicated formula involving something between one and one-and-a-half times credit for time served. Tkachuk is seeking three years minus time served. Joyce is scheduled to sentence Tkachuk Aug. 22.

HAFI Funds Home Modifications for Disabled Man When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13 years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced. “The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small. I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.” Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheelin shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.

“ I just slide into the shower now,” said Walter. “I feel safer and no longer dread trying to wash myself. What was previously a dangerous chore for me is now a welcome treat.” Walter and Lorie hope to spend the rest of their lives in their home. The HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

Local athletes dominate at Games

hilliwack competitors made their way back from the 2014 Nanaimo BC Summer Games Sunday with a haul of 31 medals, representing 15 per cent of Fraser Valley’s total medal spoils. That share contributed to the 207 medals—79 of which were gold— that pushed the Valley into first place, topping the rest of British Columbia’s divisions for the Games victory. Local canoe/kayakers were relentless against the competition with brother-sister duos Maddison and Austin Atkins along with Rhys and Isabel Taylor securing 19 medals.

Strokes of genius

Chilliwack’s Spartan Swim Club won a number of medals during the BC AAA Championships in Victoria, July 2 to 6. Colton Peterson won four of his own in the 16-and-over boys category: 50-metre breaststroke (gold), 50-metre freestyle (silver), 200-metre individual medley (silver), and 100-metre breaststroke (bronze). Teammate Jessie Gibson won silver in 100and 200-metre butterfly in the 16-and-over girls division.

won by impressive margins. Coming off of his Optimist golf tournament win the week before, Mitchell Thiessen continued his streak, helping the division team win gold in boys’ golf, and taking a silver for himself in individual play. Marley Edwards helped the soccer team take gold, with fellow local boys Riley Folk and Dylan Janzen contributing to a softball silver, and Marcus Aubin winning second with his track team in the four-by-400-metre relay. In girls’ basketball, Deanna Tuchsherer, Kate Stuart, and Jaya Bannerman played their part in earning the Fraser Valley gold. Local equestrian Deseray Smith

summertime

If you go More and more of us have fewer and fewer dollars to spend in the summer. So why not try a holiday in your own backyard? Harrison Hot Springs offers up the perfect staycation destination.

Harrison Hot Springs

› Quick facts, tips and tricks Picnic spots:

The shores of the lagoon, the beach, Hicks Lake

Resort village famous for its incredible lake, beaches and waterfront shops

Daytime activities:

Swimming, canoeing, boating, inflatable adventure zone, walking along the boardwalk, hiking, antiquing, lounging

erhaps you have the urge to get out of the city, but can’t spare more than a day away from responsibilities in the city. A day trip to Harrison Hot Springs is the perfect solution to the stuck-in-town-summer blues. It’s a relatively short drive, winding beside mountains and through forests, which sets the destination tone long before you arrive—a peaceful retreat to nature, a wide beach, and the beautiful scenery that makes B.C. so famous. The result is a cross between a vacation and a stay-cation; Harrison comes with all the trappings of a coastal beach getaway, but you’ll be back in your own bed before nightfall. It’s the best of both worlds.

Summer events:

Dragon Boat Festival Saturday, July 26, 8:30 a.m. Seventy dragon boat teams take to the water in an annual regatta while audiences, vendors, and volunteers line the shore.

How to get there:

Head east on the Trans Canada Highway before ducking off onto the Number 9 Agassiz-Rosedale Highway. Stay on the Number 9 and follow signs towards Harrison.

Hours and parking:

Don’t just stop at the beach

Parking is free in the Harrison Village, although it can take a couple of back-alley trips to find an available spot. Some shops are open into the evening, and the beach is hopping until the sun goes down. Try heading out after dinner for a calmer and cooler experience, and catch the sunset from the beach.

While Harrison’s lush lagoon and warm beach might be the first things that spring to mind, don’t forget about everything else the area has to offer. If you’re intent on staying near the water, a beach day can be compounded with canoeing, kayaking, or geocaching. If you’re willing to spend a couple of bucks, you can rent bumper boats for

The inflatable adventure zone is also hard to miss— think of a bouncy castle on steroids that floats on the water, and you’ll get a pretty good idea of what you’re in for. Admission ranges between $20-30 per person, but keep an eye on Groupon to scoop up a sweet half-price deal.

Kayak, canoe, Sea-Doo? Oh my! Paddling on Harrison proper is largely limited to sticking close to shore, since conditions on the open water can get choppy for anyone at a hobbyist level. But for those with the urge to get out on the water, there are more than a few options. Head to Hicks lake or one of the other small lakes within nearby Sasquatch Provincial Park for calmer canoeing conditions. There’s also the option to rent a boat or two on the shores of Harrison, from kayak to powerboat and Sea-Doo. Don’t forget to pack a life jacket; it doesn’t look as dorky as you think, and it might just save your life if you happen to capsize. { See HARRISON, page A17 }

{ HARRISON, from page A16 }

Explore the wilderness

There’s more natural beauty to the Harrison area than the lake and lagoon. Plenty of hiking trails surround the area, from family- and kid-friendly jaunts to those more likely to challenge anyone with a serious hiking obsession. On the easy-going end of the scale, check out Spirit Trail, which heads from the Harrison Village through a cedar forest lined with dozens of ornamental masks. It clocks in at a halfhour trip for a short and sweet walk through the woods. On the other end of the scale, those with an intense love of hiking can take a crack at the Campbell Lake Trail—otherwise known as the Harrison Grind. Not for the faint-of-heart, a round-trip takes a six- or seven-hour bite out of the hiker’s day. It’s a beautiful trip in sunny weather, passing through old logging trails, through berry bushes,

under power line towers, and up to a beautiful view of Harrison stretched out into the distance. Hikers can stop for lunch and turn back either at the viewpoint or at Campbell Lake, although the lake is more of a roughand-tumble picnic spot; the water is populated with salamanders and has a wild beauty, but don’t expect a picnic table anywhere in sight.

That tourist town

If you feel like sticking close to the Village, that’s more than fine. A plethora of shops and attractions await the plucky pedestrian, from gelato to handcrafted goods. Those with a propensity for treasure-hunting will find quiet contentment in the nook of Harrison Antiques on Lillooet Avenue. Those more interested in literal food for thought should plan to make a stop at Farm House Natural Cheeses for award-winning cheddar and other artisanal varieties;

Hot Springs’ hot springs

A brief history of the hot springs: settlers in search of gold thought they would die in frigid water when their boat capsized, but instead were pleasantly and gratefully surprised to find the water warm. First Nations people long revered the hot springs as healing water. The temperature of the water ranges from 40 to 62 degrees C; these temperatures are cooled slightly for the modern visitor, who can soak in the mineral-rich water by visiting the Harrison Resort in Spa or by spending a few hours at the public pool. Hours and admission rates for both locations are available online at www.tourismharrison.com/Hot-Springs.

Pulling Mozart into Sto:lo territory Magic Flute meets First Nations art BY DESSA BAYROCK Special to the Times

ozart’s Magic Flute might be an opera classic, but Chilliwack will see it in a whole new light this fall when the Chilliwack Symphony Opera brings it to the stage. The story centres on the search for enlightenment in the face of ignorance, a theme which sharp-eyed director Andrea Mellis also spotted in local indigenous culture. And after a visit with Sto:lo Nation education co-ordinator Rose Greene, the framework started to come together; Sto:lo students and community members would help create traditional imagery for the opera, including creating masks especially for the show. The opera tackles issues that society still wrestles with today, Mellis says. “We’re becoming materialistic. How do we get back to nature? How do we become one with nature again?” Mellis says. “From [those questions] to using First Nations symbols is just a small step.” The Magic Flute draws a contrast between two opposing sides, placing Tamino—the protagonist—between three queens of the night and the priests of the temple. The ladies entreat Tamino to kill the sorcerer at the head of the temple, but the hero soon realizes that he has things backwards: the ladies are the antagonists of the tale, and the temple stands for knowledge and understanding. “In this opera, darkness doesn’t stand for evil; it stands for ignorance and superstition,” Mellis says. “The temple stands for enlightenment and man’s desire to be one with nature. “It’s a fairy tale,” she continues. “It’s based on an assortment of fairy tales, and it was fascinating to note that the Sto:lo nation has similar tales.” Mellis is new to the Chilliwack Sympho-

Ted Pilkington sings along to Andrea Mellis’ piano notes during his audition for the chorus of Magic Flute at the St. Thomas Anglican Church hall, July 12. ny Orchestra (CSO) this year. She usually calls Austria home, and has lived and worked overseas for the last two decades. But she hails from the Fraser Valley, and she always knew she’d make her way back to beautiful British Columbia. “I’ve always loved this valley,” she says with a laugh. “I live right on the border between Austria and Hungary, and yes— we have mountains. But not like this.” The collaboration with CSO was a natural one—conductor Paula DeWitt wanted to put on an opera to follow their 2012 production of Pirates of Penzance, and instantly clicked with Mellis the first time they met. “We met, and then we decided to do something together,” she says with a grin. “I said, ‘Magic Flute?’ and Andrea said, ‘Magic Flute!’ and it all just came together.” The production, which hits the stage in late September, also offered another opportunity—to bring together performers from all skill levels and give them crucial experience in a professional production. Some are coming from Vancouver Island, another from Toronto, and a few

are flying in from Vienna to lend their talents to the local stage, joining performers from the Valley. “One of my big issues is that there’s still so little work for Canadian singers,” Mellis says. “It’s one of there seasons that I had to leave 40 years ago, and it still seems to be the case.” Often, she explains, performers aren’t taken seriously until they have professional experience under their belt—and that experience can be difficult to get. But now she has an opportunity to give back to both the Canadian and Chilliwack opera community. “This is important to me. It’s important to me that singers—especially singers that I know, singers that deserve it—get a chance,” she says. She’s put $20,000 of her own money into the project—a testament to her belief in the local opera community. “We’re still on a shoestring budget, but nevertheless I thought it important to say, ‘This is what I want to spend my money on,’” she says. “For me, these are just about perfect production circumstances. The community’s involved, First Nations are

involved, I’ve got such a good collaborative partner, the singers were all handpicked and they’re really keen on doing the work—for me, this is as close as it gets to heaven.” The Magic Flute dives into rehearsals at the end of next month, but a few crucial pieces still need to fall into place. Perhaps more importantly, they’re still looking for a rehearsal space—a basement, a church, a gym, or basically any open space with bathroom facilities. “It doesn’t have to have anything other than a space,” DeWitt says with a laugh. “We can even bring our own piano.” They’re also looking for more Chilliwack participants—from chorus members to stagehands. With a just a month of whirlwind rehearsal, both Mellis and DeWitt say it’s a great way to dip your toes in opera—and maybe even dive in. ◗ For more information about space, involvement, or other donations, contact Andrea Mellis at AndreaMellis.Austria@ gmail.com, or at 604-795-0521. Tickets for the show are already available through the Chilliwack Cultural Centre at www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca or 604-391-7469.

› Showtime BY DESSA BAYROCK dbayrock@chilliwacktimes.com

s soon as Chilliwack Visual Artists’ Association president Judy Hurley realized she had a gap in the gallery schedule, she knew exactly what to do with it. Open Door, a one-day only exhibit, was born. Sixty pieces, ranging from charcoal to acrylic, will hang on the walls of the gallery on July 30 in a celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Chilliwack Society for Community Living (CSCL). Best of all, the art springs from the

Open door, open conversation core of what CSCL stands for—the individuals they serve on a daily basis. These artists hail from a class offered as part of day programming for adults with developmental disabilities. The art students come through the gallery to see each exhibit, Hurley explains. “We talked all along about having the students’ work somewhere in the cultural centre,” she says, “but the gallery is always booked up two years

in advance.” But then the gallery was dealt a wild card; at the request of the artist, an upcoming exhibit was pushed back— opening on the Saturday instead of the Thursday, and leaving the gallery free for three days. “It was such a streak of luck,” Hurley says. “It was too good an opportunity to give up.” Allowing a day for set-up and another for take-down left Open Door with

one full day for display and reception—which CSCL’s Nancy Gauvin says was just perfect. “I think people will be really, simply amazed by the abilities of some of the individuals we support,” Gauvin says. “This is an interest that they have, a talent that they have—so our goal is to support the passion they have for art.” Now that art will be on display as a celebration of both the individuals and the organization.

The gallery opens at noon and the day will culminate in a reception in the evening, where the public can mix and mingle with both artists and organizers. And while this might be the first short-form community exhibit to come to the gallery, with a little more luck it might not be the last. “It’s the first time we’ve done this, but I hope it opens the door to other similar organizations,” Hurley concludes. “It’s just to raise awareness of what’s going on in the city. The gallery and the cultural centre go a little bit beyond just showing pictures.”

New season hits centre stage BY DESSA BAYROCK dbayrock@chilliwacktimes.com

“W

hat do you do with a B.A. in English?” a puppet croons. “Everyone’s a little bit racist,” sings another. “The Internet is for porn!” belts a third puppet. With a healthy helping of adult humour, innuendo, and full-on hilarity, the hit musical Avenue Q is the heavy hitter of the Chilliwack Cultural Centre’s 2014/2015 season, which was announced earlier this week. “It’s a rude, crude, obnoxious, sex-driven, racist adventure—and really funny,” says cultural centre executive director Michael Cade, a grin stretching across his face. The puppets tackle a variety of issues plaguing the wild world of adulthood—from sexuality to career satisfaction. The rambunctious musical originally hit the Granville Island stage last year through the Arts Club— and was so popular that it was held over “somewhere in the neighbourhood of five times,” Cade says. Now it’s coming to Chilliwack— and that’s just one show out of more than 30 acts the cultural centre will be bringing to town in the next year. With this week’s grand reveal of the coming season’s line-up, one thing is clear: the cultural centre is so much more than a venue, acting as a combination of mission control

Throness told the Times 84 new parks have been added along with 156 new conservancies, ecological reserves and 11 new protected areas. Throness said the amount of land being removed from parks is minimal and, for the sake of the economy, it can make sense. “Sometimes it makes sense to make a small change to a park boundary to facilitate industrial activity, if there is a strong economic rationale and the environmental impact can be minimized,” he said. “For instance, this year we added 55,000 hectares to B.C. parks, but removed just 27 hectares for private purposes.

It’s a testament to the strength of the stories that come from the students— and a reminder that UFV is on a constant journey in search of reconciliation. Last September, the university suspended classes for a day to host the Indian Residential School Day of Learning—a day dedicated to bringing indigenous culture to the forefront of university life. It was designed as a way to help bridge the gap between indigenous and non-indigenous students and faculty—moving towards understanding and harmony. Wenona Victor teaches indigenous studies at UFV and will be one of the instructors involved in Lens of Empowerment this year. She says this second instalment of the project serves as

an extension of that conversation—a way to continue the healing process between two cultures. “When you talk about reconciliation, it’s a huge word,” Victor says. “How do you go about reconciling the past and the people and the events and the experiences?” As the Day of Learning and Lens of Empowerment both prove, reconciliation holds a different meaning for every individual. “This course is quite organic,” Victor continues. “Whatever each student brings to the class we will use as an opportunity to explore in relation to indigenous people, and then against this whole understanding of what indigenous art looks like.” This year’s projects will

She’s a mover, shaker, muscle-maker She’s the fittest female in Canada . . . hands down

“I walk on my hands more than my feet. I’ve done a handstand every day of my life since I was six years old.”

BY GREG LAYCHAK glaychak@chilliwacktimes.com

- Caitlin Bailie

Greg Laychak/TIMES

Caitlin Bailie performs a “flag” at the outdoor gym near Twin Rinks Ice Arena, Friday. from the community,” she says. Bailie thinks grocery stores, gyms and supplement stores would be a good fit to subsidize her competitions. In the meantime, she’s starting a crowdfunding campaign online to attract financial support.

These hands were made for walking The journey to Bailie’s present-day opportunities started when she was 10. Her mother saw the young girl watching a bodybuilding competition on TV and told her daughter she could one day be on that stage. Bailie wrote on her child’s version of a bucket list that she would someday compete alongside those flexed specimens posed on-screen. Nine years later, when she was living in Australia, Bailie met the

woman who would be the catalyst of her fitness career. She started a job as a livein nanny for two-time world champion of the bikini division, Amber Walker. Walker was a big influence on the 19-year-old, and within two months of training had transformed Bailie’s body, reigniting the spark she felt when she was a child watching pros on the catwalk. Though her mentor competed in the bikini division, Bailie recognized that with her natural gymnastic abilities, she was better suited for the fitness category. “Fitness is kind of in between [bikini and physique],” she says. “Feminine looking, but with the eight-pack, big shoulders, and big muscles.” It’s a category where athletes are judged on a fitness routine

in addition to physical appearance. Comprised of a strenuous ninety seconds of strength, flexibility, and endurance moves, the routine often includes physical feats like splits and one handed pushups. While those moves are impossible for the average person, Bailie incorporates many of them into her daily lifestyle. She is a registered street performer, often walking up and down stairs near the Vancouver Art Gallery. She’s been on TV, hand-walking on the Price is Right game show. And one day, says Bailie, she’ll walk on her hands across Ellen Degeneres’ stage. Not one to set easily achieved goals, Bailie is also looking to break the world record for hand walking down stairs. Her last attempt after the Edmonton competition was 30 stairs, easily executed. Between bodybuilding contests, she’ll be targeting recent record-breaker Mark Kenny’s 77-step achievement. Watching the ease with which she moves while inverted, and hearing the determination when she talks about realizing her fitness goals, it’s hard to imagine anything but success in Bailie’s future. On the way there, the Chilliwack athlete will just keep moving, shaking, and muscle-making.

Send sporting events to editorial@chilliwacktimes.com Huskers start season with tough opponent The Valley Huskers will play their season opener this Saturday, July 26 versus the Okanagan Sun at Exhibition Stadium. Kick-off is at 7 p.m. against the historically problematic defence of the Sun. Chilliwack will look to break their long-time losing streak against the visitors on home turf.

Dragon boats descend upon Harrison Lake The 10th Annual Harrison Dragon Boat Regatta will be held Saturday, July 26 on Harrison Lake. Seventy-two teams are registered for the event hosted by the Fraser Valley Dragon Boat Club. Start time is 8:30 a.m. on Main Beach, with three divisions competing: mixed, ladies and junior.

competitions, the Chilliwack athlete now has more options than she can afford. Competing on the circuit isn’t cheap. Her high-protein diet alone is pricey, but factoring in supplements, a trainer, plane tickets, heels, competition bikinis, gym memberships—Caitlin pauses and laughs. “It will never fund itself.” But if she can win at the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness (IFBB) international events qualifier in Winnipeg on Aug. 9, she’ll get her pro-card and be eligible for the World Fitness Championships. And this, according to Bailie, will at least open the doors to prize money that can help fund her training. “Because I’m now entering a higher level of competition, I’m seeking sponsorship and support

f you’ve ever met Caitlin Bailie, it’s possible you wouldn’t recognize her when she’s not upside-down. “I walk on my hands more than on my feet,” says the 23-year-old bodybuilding competitor. “I’ve done a handstand every day of my life since I was six years old.” The self-described “mover, shaker and muscle-maker” has put her lifetime of accumulated strength and resulting physique to good use in recent months. She recently returned from Edmonton where she won first place at the 2014 Canadian Bodybuilding Federation (CBBF) championships in the Fitness A division. “I didn’t recognize myself,” she says when she looked in the mirror on July 5, the day of the tournament. “It was cool to see myself in the best shape of my life.” On that day of self-wonder, Bailie became Ms. Fitness Canada, proving she’s more than a street performer, as many people know her. And while she loves walking on her hands and performing other gymnastic feats for entertainment, Bailie’s world of possibilities have opened up since she achieved her new status in the bodybuilding ranks.
