Attempted murder charges dropped Shooting victim frustrated and fearful for his life BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

Crime takes a nosedive

Local statistics mirror provincewide trend of decreasing rates

haun Stephan could be a textbook criminology case study in the root causes of prolific offending. Stephan is poor. He has neurological problems. He has substance abuse problems. He has a Grade 10 education, but by his own admission he even cheated his way through school to get that. At 35 years old, he has never once held a job of any kind. This is the definition of a career criminal, a prolific offender. And it’s people like Stephan that skew all crime statistics across Canada and the entire western world. It is at least in part because of people like Stephan that the public

PAUL J. HENDERSON @peejayaitch has a skewed perception of just how bad crime is in Chilliwack and elsewhere. Crime is going down in Canada, British Columbia and, yes, stop the presses, even here in Chilliwack. Over the last 10 years the crime rate (total criminal code violation rate per 100,000 population) dropped from 16,525 to 10,179, a decrease of 38 per cent, according to police-reported crime statistics for 2013, released by Statistics Canada last week. The rate of theft under $5,000 is

down 48 per cent, the break-andenter rate is down 49 per cent, and the motor vehicle theft rate is down 61 per cent. In that same period, between 2004 and 2013, the property crime rate is down 45 per cent. The crime rate decreases seen in Chilliwack over the decade mirror decreases seen provincwide. So why the reduction in crime? That’s a great sociological question of our time. There are demographic shifts, economic factors, social influences, all of which plays out in the shifting crime rates, according to University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) criminology professor Irwin Cohen. But here in British Columbia, Cohen credits frontline officers and integrated programs for at least some of the good news.

That includes targeting prolific offenders. “We continue to move more and more every day in police departments to being much more information-led, much more intelligence-led with a much greater focus on those small number of offenders that are responsible for a disproportionate number of crimes,” Cohen said. All about perception Across the board, most criminal code offences are on the decline. In Chilliwack, it should be noted that while over 10 years the crime rate is down 38 per cent, most of that was between 2004 and 2010. Over the last four years the rate has actually increased slightly (1.5 per cent). { See CRIME, page A4 }

That was a day after attempted murder charges w e r e d r o p p e d Aaron Douglas against Aaron Douglas. “My head is disastrously messed up. My chest holds lead in it.” It was a sudden and surprising turn of events when the charge against Douglas was stayed mid-trial on July 24 in BC Supreme Court in Chilliwack. “Based on the evidence that had gone before the court we decided there was no substantial likelihood of conviction,” Crown lawyer Lori Stevens said of the decision. { See MURDER, page A16 }

Upcoming Chilliwack Museum exhibit takes a closer look at life during wartime

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com lifford Woodworth was one of approximately 500 men from the Chilliwack area who went overseas to fight in “the Great

War.” A 1917 photo of Woodworth, his parents and siblings is one simple image of a local family during the First World War. But look long enough and the photo tells a story: The expressions on the faces of all but Clifford seem to ooze concern, not surprising since the young man joined the Canadian Expeditionary Force three years into the war effort. In 1914, people were actually excited to sign up thinking the battle would be over by Christmas. By 1917, the death and horrors awaiting overseas were more well understood. “They probably knew a little bit more about what he was getting into,” said museum director Deborah Hudson of the Woodworth family. The image is just one among many,

One of the artifacts in the exhibit is along with artifacts and archival documents that make up the Chilliwack Muse- a Red Cross quilt made in 1918 by the um’s upcoming exhibition: Chilliwack’s Sardis Red Cross Sewing Circle at the Thornton Family home. The quilt was Great War: At Home and Overseas. “The good news about that photograph made to raise money for the war effort is that the fellow, Clifford, did return,” by charging 10 cents per signature name, which was then embroidered on the Hudson said. quilt.

Often an apples to oranges comparison Certain crime rates remain unchanged, including disturbing the peace, impaired driving and drug-related charges. Overall criminal code traffic violations are also virtually unchanged over the decade. And while Chilliwack’s rate of decrease mirrors that for B.C. as a whole, the rate remains higher. At 10,179 per 100,000, Chilliwack’s rate is 30 per cent higher than B.C., 32 per cent higher than North Vancouver and 44 per cent higher than Abbotsford. The rate is also nine per cent lower than Kamloops and 30 per cent lower than Prince George. So why is it that on certain Facebook discussion pages you might be led to believe that property crime has reached near apocalyptic levels in Chilliwack? “What you are speaking about we are finding everywhere,” Cohen said. “There is a gap between people’s perception of crime and perception of safety and the reality of it.” The other problem with statistics is that Cohen believes comparing any community to any other community will always be apples and oranges. Much better is to compare neighbourhoods within communities. Statistics flatten out the more nuanced reality. Even to talk about

It might be up in area A but down in B and C and D.” Another prolific offender So far in his adult life, designated prolific offender Shaun Bolko has stolen just about anything not nailed down, or even if it is. He is

one of the province’s top 10 auto crime offenders, and he was sentenced in 2010 to 138 days in jail for stealing brass plates from grave markers. Prolific offenders are such a problem that certain crimes will suddenly drop when one of them goes to jail for a while. “I don’t know how well the public understands the idea that if you have 100 cars broken into in three days, it’s not 100 people each breaking into one car. It’s two people breaking into 100 cars.” The message comes in RCMP press releases. “A small percentage of people commit the vast majority of the property crime in the Upper Fraser Valley,” said Cpl. Brock Rayworth of the Chilliwack RCMP property crime section after Bolko was arrested for stealing a Ford F-350. “If they choose to continue this lifestyle they will be targeted and end up in jail.” Bolko received an 81-day sentence for this latest theft. If that included time served since his arrest, he would have been released from custody on July 16. So he’s out now, adhering to his strict 18 months of bail conditions and his lifetime firearm ban. Or he’s not, and he’ll be back in pre-trial custody soon and, eventually, back before a judge who will sentence him once again. And the crime rate will go up.

Keep in mind that there are different levels of IV sedation ranging from conscious sedation to deep sedation. Conscious IV sedation helps a patient to relax similar to oral

sedation however the patient is still not asleep. In British Columbia, a dental office must pass a thorough inspection by the College of Dental Surgeons of BC in order to provide deep IV sedation or general anesthesia. If you are considering being ASLEEP for your surgical procedure at any dental office, you should ensure the facility is certified by the College of Dental Surgeons of BC and that the staff surgeons & anesthetists are certified in advanced cardiac life support.

UFV urban planning students had a chance to present their ideas to an audience of professional planning staff from the FVRD recently on how they imagine the former Minter Gardens property could be best used. acknowledging the beautiful natural setting of the site. The student groups took on names reminiscent of urban planning firms and, for their final project, made presentations to an audience of professional planning staff from the FVRD, as well as UFV Dean of Arts Jacqueline Nolte and former department head Michelle Rhodes. The first group to present, Evergreen Sustainable Development, envisioned a mixed-use plan that would include condos and townhouses, but also lots of open space

including rooftop patios, retaining of the on-site restaurant (perhaps as a brew pub), a daycare, outdoor spaces for children, and encouragement of community events such as weddings, farmers’ markets and yoga classes. “The gardens were not economically viable anymore, but it would be a shame to see such a gem completely destroyed,” noted their spokesperson.

t’s a name familiar to thousands of people in British Columbia and beyond. For more than three decades, the ornamental show garden run by the Minter family welcomed tourists, hosted weddings, and served as the backdrop for car shows, grad portraits and other events. After subsidizing the gardens for 33 years, in 2013 the Minter family made the very difficult decision to close the show gardens and concentrate on their retail garden store in Chilliwack. The iconic Minter Gardens property, located in rural Popkum in Electoral Area D in the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD), is up for sale. With change comes opportunity. Both the Minter family and the FVRD want to see the gardens evolve in a sustainable and creative manner. Generating ideas for the property’s future sounded like a job for some creative and innovative students, the kind that can be found among the students in Cherie Enns’ urban planning classes at the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV). Working in groups and in partnership with FVRD planners, students from Geography 360 (Intro to Community and Regional Planning) were asked to imagine a future for Minter Gardens, one that included residential development while respecting environmental concerns and

t’s B.C. Day on Monday, Aug. 4 and it comes at the best time of the year—the middle of summer. Those of us who are lucky enough to live in British Columbia will enjoy the statutory holiday by enjoying our amazing climate, geography and culture. It’s almost a Canadian responsibility to get outdoors and enjoy the waning days of summer. We actually have it all in British Columbia—from the Pacific Ocean to the Rocky Mountains. The vast interior plains and forests, to the lakes and rivers scattered across the province are all within easy reach. The vineyards and orchards in the Okanagan and the Fraser Valley farms all supply us with what we need and what we enjoy. This is a very abundant province with such a variety of landscapes and seascapes. We have the potential to grow all of our own food and Mother Nature supplies the rest. So why don’t we? We all take pride in being British Columbians and we need to remember what we love about this province, what it affords us and why it is important to protect our life in this province. Take a moment on this B.C. Day to reflect on the beauty of our province and the incredible lifestyle we enjoy here. Take a road less travelled and discover a place you may never have been to before. Enjoy our beaches and lakes and cities and bask in the knowledge that we live in the best place on earth. Happy B.C. Day.

Let’s tap into the beer economy

f the BC Liberal government’s press releases were a representation of reality in the province we live in, you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn’t work in the burgeoning liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry. Not only does B.C.’s LNG industry employ close to 100 per cent of British Columbians providing all the benefits that flow from the government, but Premier Christy Clark’s LNG machinery is fighting air pollution in China and clearing up smog in Los Angeles. “This is our biggest opportunity we’ve ever had to reduce greenhouse gas emissions worldwide,” Clark told a crowd in Whistler this month. I’m wondering if B.C.’s LNG industry will soon solve the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, the Ukraine/Russia war, and maybe even resolve world poverty. But the reality about the oil and gas sector in British Columbia is that it is currently shrinking and fewer than one in 100 jobs in the province come from oil, mining and gas. That’s according to Conversations for Responsible Economic Develop-

PAUL J. HENDERSON @peejayaitch ment B.C. (CRED), an organization made up of various business owners, academics and generally progressive thinkers who want to see the B.C. economy move away from such a strict focus on resource extraction. Last year, CRED released a report that found oil spills have direct and lasting impacts on property values. This latest report “What’s Fuelling B.C.’s Economy?” illustrates that our economy relies more on service-based sectors than oil and gas and mining. While oil and gas receive by far most of the attention from the BC Liberal government, oil, gas and support services make up just three per cent of B.C.’s GDP, according to CRED. By comparison, financial and real estate services make up more than 23 per cent of GDP. Retail and wholesale

trade make up 10 per cent, construction is at eight per cent and manufacturing provides a further seven per cent. “It’s important that the public has an accurate understanding of where the oil and gas sector fits into our economy and how investing in this type of infrastructure development could impact other thriving sectors,” says CRED executive director Liz McDowell (who is from Chilliwack). As for actual jobs, the mining, oil and gas sector employ approximately 25,000 people. Yet there are 205,000 jobs in construction, 127,000 jobs in tourism and 164,000 jobs in manufacturing. The high-tech sector employes 84,000 people and there are 123,000 people employed in the “green sector,” according to CRED. In fairness to the provincial government, the LNG industry is a proposed one. It is about the future economy, not today’s. But this report stopped me in its tracks with one statistic: Last year the

Conference Board of Canada released a report that found the “beer economy” represented more than one per cent of all jobs in Canada supporting 163,200 people—more than the 112,000 people employed in the oil sands economy. Stick that in your pipe and drink it. Sure, the guy driving truck in Fort St. John is making more money than the guy who sold you a six-pack at the Jolly Miller cold beer and wine store, but his job is less, well, beer related. It’s my guess that despite the chorus of opposition, we will one day see Kinder Morgan’s proposed twinning of its Trans Mountain pipeline get the green light. Since Northern Gateway, a greenfield project, was approved I can’t possibly imagine a twinning project in an existing right-of-way will be turned down. But maybe there would be less opposition to the twinning of a pipeline carrying oilsands bitumen if they were to add a third pipe, sending Big Rock IPA from Alberta to the coast. That’s where the jobs are anyway.

We can all learn something from local First Nations culture Editor: I was fortunate to be invited to accompany a group of Japanese students and their teachers to the Skwah First Nation reserve at the top of Wellington Street. I have lived in Chilliwack since 2006 and never realized what a beautiful part of Chilliwack this was. The river and the riverbank were so calm, beautiful and peaceful. The students had such a good time learning about the Skwah culture and traditions from the entertaining Williams family. Mr. Williams Sr. and his extended family (sons, daughters, daughter-in-law, grandchildren, brother) all entertained us with traditional drumming and song. One of the Williams sons also demonstrated his talent—he creates beautiful drums made from animal hide. Gorgeous drums. They told of the tradition of the canoes and very proudly told of their family being medal winners at the Native games presently being held in Regina and spoke of other winners from their reserve. The canoes were just amazing, seating more than 10 people at a time. The Japanese students were taken on a canoe ride down the river and loved every moment. It will forever be part of their memories of their visit to Chilliwack and Canada. I learned so much myself and know that the Japanese visitors came away with a real understanding and appreciation for the Skwah First Nation and their culture and traditions.

Liberals weakening protection of parks Editor: Re: Chilliwack-Hope MLA responds to provincial park rallies, July 23

Chilliwack Times. Instead of offering his constituents excuses and spin, Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness should explain why the BC Liberals rammed through legislation weakening protections for BC parks without giving the public any opportunity to have their say. It’s clear that the BC Liberals knew they had no mandate to undermine our world renowned parks when they brought in the Park Amendment Act. They also knew that if they asked the public to weigh in on weakening protections for parks, the answer would have been a resounding “no.” There’s no question that Premier Clark and the BC Liberals have paved the way for land to be removed from parks for pipelines, roads, mines and other industrial uses. What BC Liberals ignore in their justifications for weakening these protections is that our parks are huge economic generators that benefit B.C.’s small communities. People come from all over the globe to experience what B.C. has to offer, spending their money in small town gas stations, grocery stores, coffee shops and restaurants. If the summer crowds I’ve seen on my way to B.C. parks are any indication, Hope, which Mr. Throness represents, is a B.C. community that greatly benefits from park visitors. Communities, First Nations, and individual citizens worked hard to

City needs to think more about off-leash Editor: Chilliwack, one of the few green agricultural pockets left in the Fraser Valley. As the years go by, we are seeing the wild areas gradually being chipped away and clear-cut for more developments of urban sprawl. Most recently, one particularly disturbing area is the 30-plus acres located next to the Rotary Trail, behind the University of the Fraser Valley Trades and Technology Centre. Okay, so I know wildlife doesn’t pay taxes, but the destruction going on in that area is simply gobsmacking. Not only was it an untouched habitat for wildlife, but it was also a fantastic area for dogs to get the essential stimulation that only freedom from a leash can bring. This brings me to the question

I would like to ask, and that is: of the plethora of trails alongside the Vedder River, cannot one of them be officially designated off-leash for responsible dog owners? The holding cell in Sardis that is called a “dog park” is absurd, and forces dogs to interact in that small space whether they want to or not. Island 22 is adequate, if you happen to live close and can afford the bug spray. We are constantly treated like criminals by vigilante leash Nazis when walking on trails near our waterways. It would seem to me that dog lovers and dog haters alike would appreciate a walking trail for well-adjusted dogs that do not need to be tethered to their owners. Surrey has nine off-leash parks, and has developed a dog off-leash strategy plan, a 200-plus page guideline for design and construction of off-leash areas and future sites across their city. Langley has two off-leash parks, one is 18 acres. Abbotsford has three areas plus the Sumas Canal Dyke Trail (7 km-plus), all designated off leash. Even Cultus Lake has a decent area dedicated to dogs. These cities all recognize the importance of off-leash, canine friendly walking paths. When are we going to catch up to the forward thinking of our neighbouring communities? Kelly Moore Chilliwack

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.

In God’s eyes we are diamonds in the making BY EVANS HUNDERMARK Mountain View Church

e were recently given an old canoe. It was big, clunky, and had stood outside, unused, braving the elements for seven years. It was cracked, scratched up, had a hole, the seats were rotten, and was covered with moss. It looked like it may never sail again. That canoe’s purpose was to do more than sit on a sawhorse in someone’s garden, it was made to sail and explore lakes but wow, was it broken up. So, we decided to take on the project of trying to restore it . . . and some job that turned out to be. We had to remove broken parts,

scrub, hammer, sandpaper, replace fibreglass, paint, wait for stuff to dry, and paint and sandpaper some more. It’s taken over a year to complete, but finally, it’s done. And does “The PuddleDuck” ever sail so nicely. She was made to glide over the water as graceful as a momma duck on a lazy summer day. Thinking about that canoe, I cannot help thinking about you and me. We too are broken, used and sometimes rejected—people trying to do something we were not made to do. Others look at us and see the cracks, scratches and brokeness, and think we will never be worth much more than what we are now. But God looks at you and sees the

potential of what could be—you were made for more than just this. He made you, and He made you for a purpose. You were made to be Holy (1Peter 1:13), that means to be separate and different to the ways of this world. Romans 12:2 says not to let the world squeeze you into its mould, but rather be shaped by the work of Holy Spirit. Just like working on my canoe, the Holy Spirit’s work on you takes time, effort and, if you had to ask my canoe about it, it can be painful as the broken bits are removed and the stubborn dirt is chiselled away. But in the end, its worth every bit of energy and expense. A diamond is nothing more than a piece of charcoal, that only

reaches its true value after immense pressure and heat has been applied to it, over a long period of time. In the eyes of God, and in the hands of the Holy Spirit, we are diamonds in the making. How do you respond to the work of The Holy Spirit on you as He forms and moulds you into the valuable and Holy person He created you to be? Firstly, you have to accept and confess that you’re broken and helpless because of sin. “Sin” is not the wrong things we do, but rather a flaw in our very nature as a result of man’s decision to disobey God. So we cannot help ourselves and fix sin by merely being good people. We

need someone to change the very heart of who we are. Only God can do that, and He opened the door to that change through Jesus’ death on the Cross. Believing on Jesus’ death and resurrection is the beginning of the restoration process. Secondly, we need to submit to the work of His Holy Spirit who begins the work of restoring us so that we can be the people God created us to be. The Holy Spirit changes our desires, to align them with God’s, and works on those areas of our lives that are unacceptable to God . . . blemishes on His original design, like the cracks and holes in my { See FAITH, page A12 }

More transit hours leads to more riders BY DESSA BAYROCK dbayrock@chilliwacktimes.com

ore commuters, more students, more shoppers. According to BC Transit corporate spokesperson Meribeth Burton, that’s what Chilliwack saw after increasing transit hours last fall. It’s also exactly what they were hoping for. “It’s always exciting to see what the uptake will be, but certainly from the very beginning we saw a huge increase in the kind of readership that we were hoping to see,” Burton says. Chilliwack saw almost a six per cent increase in ridership in the 2013/14 year, up nearly 29,000 riders over the previous year. Unsurprisingly, Route #1 Vedder saw the biggest improvement, with ridership increasing by more than 15 per cent. “When the service hours went into place in September we saw an immediate and positive reaction in terms of the growth in the number one route,” Burton says. “That it continued to hold was what

{ FAITH, from page A10 } canoe. Only God can fix these blemishes, and only God can heal our brokeness. Thirdly, we need to seek closeness with God. This comes through accepting the Bible as His Word through which He speaks to us, and an instruction manual that guides us to become what He created us to be (2Timothy 3:16). This means accepting all of it as His authoritative Word, not just the bits we like while discarding those sections that make us uncomfortable, or highlight undealt with sin in our lives (Hebrews 4:12). My canoe is ready to sail, but the work on me is still far from complete. Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it seems long, but it is a work that I want God to do, until

was encouraging for us.” BC Transit and the City of Chilliwack noticed the Vedder route running at overcapacity last September, which was part of the spark to increase coverage in the first place. And after seeing ridership rise after responding to demand last fall, BC Transit is proactively increasing Chilliwack’s schedule in September; riders will see both earlier and later transit hours coming to the Evans, Promontory, and Vedder routes. “If you can make transit efficient and reliable, and deliver the service hours people are looking for, then they will come,” Burton says. “[In this case] we build it and we hope our ridership responds. As a crown corporation, our goal is to best serve the community and the taxpayers that fund it. So we don’t have a particular number in mind, but our aim is to always grow ridership and to increase the people’s awareness of it.” BC Transit is also looking to the Fraser Valley Express, which will hit roads in the spring of 2015 and link Chilliwack to Abbotsford and Langley.

Allow God to work on you eventually I stand before Him, complete, whole and healed. I pray that as you read this, that you too would allow God to work on you as well. It may seem hard and long right now, but be encouraged by Romans 8:18 which reminds us that “the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed in us,” it will all be worth it in the end. ◗ Evans Hundermark is a pastor at Mountain View Church.

› News { MINTER, from page A7 } Planners, noted that they were influenced by new urbanism, with an emphasis on walkable neighbourhoods and mixed-use residential in the midst of natural settings. To encourage community development, they would put front porches close to sidewalks as a way of getting neighbours to interact. A third group said they would capitalize on the experience of the original owner and brand recognition of the Minter name by working with garden founder Brian Minter as a consultant. “We want to protect the heritage of a place that has been very influential in our lives, and make it such an attractive place that families will hand pick this location,” they noted. After their presentations, retired community planner Terry Lyster, who acted as a mentor on the project, spoke to the UFV students, reminding them that as professional planners, their products will live on longer after them, and that the tool of municipal zoning is the “servant of civilization.” Lyster spoke to the students early in the semester and later evaluated their project presentations from a professional perspective. Professor Cherie Enns noted that community planning has been described as an art, with geography providing the scientific component of it. It is also now a registered profession in Canada. Over the last 10 years many UFV geography graduates have gone on to graduate studies in this area and careers as community planners in Canada and internationally. “The UFV Geography and Environment program is committed to providing experiential and field-based learning

Another lens to see the world

through a range of local and international opportunities for students,” she said. “This applied approach proves very beneficial to our graduates as they progress in their careers.” One of Enns’ students provided the following feedback about her field-based learning experiences: “While I genuinely love learning through reading, writing, and listening, it is certainly not the only way to learn. I think that it is such a privilege to get to see the world with another lens, and as a university student, getting the opportunity to try different roles in various careers is invaluable. Field-based learning opportunities also help students acquire many other skills that while not directly related to their subject, will be of great value in the future for many different fields.” UFV’s Geography and the Environment department is working with Margaret-Ann Thornton, director of planning and development for the FVRD, to develop a memorandum of understanding with regards to establishing an ongoing formal program incorporating applied geography internships, as well as class projects related to environmental research and community planning. Brian Minter’s connection with UFV goes well beyond the recent Geography 360 project. In addition to serving as UFV’s first Chancellor from 2008 to the present, he taught night school courses in horticulture in the 1980s and was chair of the Board of Governors when Fraser Valley College was transformed into a degree-granting university college in 1991.

Other winners received pizza for a year, an iPad Air, an air tour of the Fraser Valley and a Harrison golf getaway. The Chilliwack Centre of Excellence paddling club donated their time to escort the ducks for the fourth annual event. Almost 1,200 ducks competed in the river race.

Karpes is frustrated with the decision by the Crown, but he isn’t totally surprised by the outcome. “He [Douglas] has always maintained he can get away with anything,” he said. “Nobody will testify against him and get a conviction.” Douglas—who was in custody for 19 months and never asked for a bail hearing in that time—was sentenced to time served, three years probation, and ordered to have no contact with Karpes and the Crown’s other witness Theresa Conlon. Conlon is the mother of one of Douglas’s children, and is currently married to Karpes. She testified in court on the first day of the trial, July 21. Karpes and others have told the Times that Conlon also briefly dated Deano Paus who was murdered in 2010, a crime that IHIT is still investigating. “I realize this gentleman has had a rough life but he has this mentality that if he has ever touched it, it belongs to him,” Karpes said. “I don’t know where that comes from.” Outside the courthouse Thursday, Douglas’s first cousin Roxanne Peters and two of his friends awaited his release. “He’s going to straighten out,” Peters said of the troubled Douglas, who has a long criminal record with convictions on weapons and drug charges. Peters said Douglas’s mother died of a drug overdose when he

commonly issued, sometimes even in leaner years. In years of high abundance such as 2010 and (hopefully) this year, DFO issues an economic opportunity fishery so that local Sto:lo bands can sell their fish. Douglas said 22 or 23 Sto:lo bands have signed on to a comprehensive agreement that will allow them to sell their fish once the licence is issued. That’s where non-angling, sockeye-loving foodies in Chilliwack and the rest of B.C. benefit as the beautiful, red-fleshed fish should be for sale everywhere, including (legally) on some local reserves. As for what’s ahead on the Fraser River in August, there is always the potential for conflict in varying forms. Sports fishermen often tussle with one another as inexperienced anglers line the banks of popular bars alongside seasoned veterans. There are often disputes between recreational anglers and First Nations participating in FSC fisheries. And while DFO polices all the user groups, fishery officers and Sto:lo fishermen have had their share of tension over the decades. “We have a pretty long history of altercations with the department,” Douglas says. “Especially with their enforcement guys because sometimes they try and use a heavy hand.” Wattie, who is detachment supervisor for the waterways in Chilliwack, says fishery officers are well-trained to { See SALMON, page A19 }

So you’ve got yourself a whole sockeye and you don’t know what to do with it? To clean and filet the fish is actually relatively easy and YouTube is a great resource to see how it’s done. As for cooking, the possibilities are endless. With a fish this good and fresh, all it needs is a little salt and pepper and lemon, barbecued or baked and you’re good to go. But there is more you can do. Here’s my favourite simple recipe, a slight adaptation on a Bonnie Stern one: In a small bowl, mix together a spoonful each of paprika, coriander, lemon peel, salt and sugar. Spread this rub all over a boneless filet of salmon. Stern says take the skin off. I leave it on. Bake on a parchment-lined panat 425 F for 20 minutes or until the fish flakes. Then chop up a tomato and/ or a mango, mix it with seeded, chopped jalapeno, red pepper, cilantro, mint, some lime juice and salt. Serve the salmon with the salsa on top or on the side.

Local athletes bring home medals from Indigenous Games BY GREG LAYCHAK glaychak@chilliwacktimes.com

t was a successful week for Chilliwack area athletes at the North American Indigenous Games last week in Regina. Local participants made a solid contribution to Team BC’s final medal count of 160, squeezing a victory in with just one medal more than host province Saskatchewan. Paddler Clinton Hugh, an under-19 competitor, took gold and silver in the 200-metre and 3000-metre kayak races re s p e c t i v e l y , and another silver in the mixed team 3000-metre canoe race Nashon Douglas with Alicia managed to win six George-Bailey. medals at NIAG. “It felt amazing to be a part of the first kayak event ever hosted at NAIG,” he said, admitting he felt overwhelmed on the first day of the competition. A big part of that was his 18 kilometres of sprint paddling in a single day.

Greg Laychak/TIMES

Clinton Hugh with his paddle, medals and Team BC jersey, recently returned from the 2014 North American Indigenous Games shown here at Main Beach, Cultus Lake. Many of his training hours were spent on the lake. By far the most he’s done in that time period at a competitive pace. George-Bailey did her part, winning two silvers and three bronzes in paddling events. Darian Williams, another Chilliwack paddler (but racing for Washington)

also fared well in the U19 division. He took six gold medals for the U.S. state, proving that present-day borders mean nothing when it comes down to heritage. Their paddling teammate, Brandyn Chappell cleaned up in the U16

division with three golds and as many bronzes over the week. Cheam Band swimmer Nashon Douglas brought home a total of six medals (three gold and three silver) in the under-19 division, with more official results from swimming events pending.

In Softball, five Chilliwack players helped the British Columbia girls team win gold in two divisions. In the U19 divisions Annabelle Williams, Brianna Underhill and Shantel Andrews represented Chilliwack, with Ashley Guthrie, Catherine Ann Toop and Kyneesha Garnot-Kingdon playing on the U16 squad. Paige Mussell captured three golds for B.C. in U16 rifle shooting. Nathalie Nahwegahbow took double track golds, one each in the 100- and 200-metre races. And in U16 Soccer, Amber Charlie, Lahayla Charlie-Campbell, Jada Roberts, Jade Victor, Maya Fayant, Keagan James and Kayla Bradshaw led the provincial team to silver in a close 1-0 loss to Ontario. It’s the first time Team BC has won the Games. It came down to the last few events, according to Lara Mussell, the team’s Chef de Mission. B.C. and the hosts traded lead position throughout the week. “The team’s performance, perseverance and conduct, both on and off the field, exemplified the ideals of the North American Indigenous Games: The Spirit - strong, brave, true,” she said. ◗ See complete results at: regina2014naig.com.

Unbridled joy for those who love mud BY GREG LAYCHAK glaychak@chilliwacktimes.com

T Huskers set to try new offence on Broncos Coming off of a big loss in their season opener, the Valley Huskers will try their new offence again this Saturday (Aug. 2) when they host the Kamloops Broncos at Exhibition Stadium. The Huskers will face an offensive machine similar to last Saturday’s Okanagan Sun challenge, with the Broncos coming from a 38-9 victory against the Westshore Rebels. Kick off is at 7 p.m.

Midget Cougars off to provincials in Victoria The Chilliwack Cougars U18 AAA midget team will head to Victoria Thursday, seeded first place in the provincial championships set to run July 31 to Aug. 4. Their juniors, the U13 AA peewee team also secured a provincial spot having beat Ladner 9-8 in extra innings Saturday. They will go to Port Coquitlam on the same weekend as their U18 counterparts.

he Unbridled Mud Trials return again this September, and more than ever organizer Andrea Meister want to see you get your hands dirty. Meister, a volunteer at Island 22 Horse Park said the idea for the five-kilometre, 22 obstacle course race through mud came to her when she was watching people at the facility try to clear a horse jump —without a horse. After talking it over with a fellow volunteer who had organized triathlons and participated in Tough Mudder, Unbridled was born. Last year, the event raised about $5,000 with all the money going directly back into the maintenance and upgrading of the park and its facilities. “We sold out our tickets,” Meister said. “We had pouring rain on the day of, and almost everyone showed up.” There are few outdoor events that thrive in a downpour, but any competition with “mud” in its name can only benefit from more water.

TIMES - file

Participants in last year’s inaugural Unbridled Mud Trials didn’t mind dressing up for the race. “There were so many people last year who had never run any kind of race in their entire life,” Meister said. “And I can say with all honesty I’ve never seen so many adults giggling and laughing—in the pouring rain, covered in mud.”

New this year, according to the organizer, is a shorter 1.5 kilometre course for kids that imitates eight of the obstacles from the adult track. Forced to watch all of their parents have fun at last year’s event, children six to 11 will now be eligible to

participate. It’s a prospect that has Meister’s own daughter excited for September. And new for adults this fall by popular demand, the society will be adding two challenge waves. “These are for the go-hard

people who really want to go for time and speed,” Meister said. Tickets for the super competitive will be priced higher, she adds, but those entrants will get a second run after their initial race so they can relive the course for fun. Meister promises even more surprises for 2014, mentioning ropes and ladders but not revealing the complete plan. Waiting for each runner at the end of the race will be a prize medal and a line-up of firemen ready to hose them off. Spectating is free but there’s a $5 parking fee. “Fit as many people as you want in that car, and come and watch,” Meister said. “Or join—that would be even better.” ◗ Tickets for the Unbridled Mud Trials are on sale now at www.unbridledmudtrials.com until Aug. 31. The racing day starts on Sept. 27 at 10 a.m. Prices range from $15 for kids to $75 for competitive waves. Entry fees include a T-shirt, a timing chip, a medal and entry in prize draws.

Huskers sun-burned by powerful Okanagan squad The Valley Huskers felt a stinging season-opener defeat at the hands of the Okanagan Sun, Saturday night at Exhibition Stadium.

Diane White borders her portrayals of the beauty in Canadian wilderness with environmental warnings to show the flip side of Canada’s natural world.

Preserving B.C.’s beauty through art BY DESSA BAYROCK dbayrock@chilliwacktimes.com

olling hills, lush trees, majestic mountains, rivers traced in green water and white foam—British Columbia is famous for the beauty of its natural landscape. But the next exhibit hitting the Chilliwack Cultural Centre gallery shows the flip side of that beauty—the struggle to protect the natural world from development and damage. The gallery will display paintings from

Large canvases covering large issues Victoria artist Diane White who mixes the beauty of the Canadian wilderness with the ugliness that comes part and parcel with clear-cutting and oil extraction. “There are absolutely beautiful landscapes out there, and I don’t want people to forget that,” says artist Diane White. “I want them to be encouraged. I want them to go out and just visually and emotionally experience this beautiful land that we live on. But I also want them to understand

that there are other forces out there. “Water is under serious, serious threat.” The series is titled H20 Under Attack, named for a central piece 12-feet wide and almost five feet tall. It’s one of the largest pieces to ever be displayed in the gallery, and organizers had to swap venues to accommodate it—moving from the Chilliwack Museum to the Chilliwack Visual Artists’ Association (CVAA) space while still in the planning stages.

“The scale of it is very large,” says CVAA president Judy Hurley. “It’s good that we have nice high walls in the gallery.” But as White notes, a large canvas is fitting for such a large issue. Her pieces depict gorgeous mountains, trees and water—tranquil pastoral images at first glance. The clash between natural and economic worlds is clearer in the title piece, which features a dripping cutaway of a pipeline to one side and the pipeline route traced in red at the top of the image. { See H2O, page A25 }

Her other pieces feature stencilled environmental warnings traced over the natural imagery or bordering the edges: “Oil and water don’t mix,” “Crisis of quality and supply,” “H2O under attack.” “Water is the life source of us, and the animals, and mother earth,” she says. “We have to remember that when we’re out there, and we have to stand up for it.” White uses the Alberta tarsands and the proposed Enbridge pipeline as extreme examples of the harm people do to the earth—and says its up to everyday citizens to stand up for the water and the forests around them. “We have to go out there and stop it ourselves,” she

The audience is encouraged to bring their own teacup to 2 for Tea, Oct. 3 and 5 at the Cultural Centre.

he Chilliwack Cultural Centre is the largest non-festival presenter in the province—and no matter what your preferences, there’s bound to be something in the shiny new 2014/2015 to tickle your fancy. Executive director Michael Cade ran us through some of his favourites after the season was announced last week.

2 for Tea Oct. 3 and 5 Tickets $25 So much tea will be flowing in this whimsical play that it’s sponsored by Tetley—and audience members are encouraged to bring their own teacups. It follows the adventures of two friends over the course of their weekly tea time—adventures that often involve the audience.

The Harpoonist and the Axemurderer Oct. 4 Tickets $27 to $32 This musical duo tackles blues with a simple set-up: one guitar, one harmonica, and a whole lot of foot pedals. “Instead of having a drummer, they take a traditional drum kit, split it between the two of them, and they play it The Harpoonist and with their the Axemurderer feet,” Cade is a show not to be says. “I’d missed, says Culturnever seen al Centre executive anything director Michael Cade. quite like it before.” Chances are you haven’t either.

Avenue Q Oct. 10 and 11 Tickets $44 to $49

The Irish Rovers Mar. 12 Tickets $35 to $40

Think Sesame Street for adults “It’s a rude, crude, obnoxious, sex-driven, racist adventure,” says Cade of this award-winning musical from the Arts Club theatre. It’s a full-scale Vancouver theatre experience without the three-hour round trip and prohibitively expensive Granville Island parking spot.

There’s nothing like a little Irish music to kick spring into gear, and this might be the last chance the Valley gets to see the Irish Rovers life and in person. “They say it’s going to be the last time they’re going to do a concert tour, so we’re glad Chilliwack can be a part of that,” Cade says, although he admits Cher’s decades-long farewell tour leads to a certain amount of suspicion with any “last” tour.

On the Air Nov. 9 Tickets $30 to $35 Red Robinson and Rick Cluff look back on three decades of rock and roll through the eyes of radio personalities. “It’s a real sort of extravaganza about the best of rock and roll as seen through the eyes of British Columbia in the ‘50s, ‘60s, and ‘70s,” Cade says.

The Sound of Music sing-a-long Dec. 19 Tickets $18 Nothing says Christmas like The Sound of Music, and nothing says The Sound of Music like singing along to “Favourite Things” at the top of your lungs. This showing of the classic musical is complete with trivia, audience-wide interactions with the movie, and (of course) costume contests. “One person famously came to one of them dressed as the gazebo,” Cade says.

I Am Woman! Hear Me Laff! Mar. 8 Tickets $27 to $32 For the fifth year running, the Cultural Centre celebrates International Women’s Day with a stellar line-up of female comedians. This year the show will also head out on a road trip to three other communities. “We’re mounting the show ourselves, but we’re also sharing the show,” Cade says. “That’s the exciting thing—having work created in Chilliwack and then moving around in the Lower Mainland.”

6 Guitars Mar. 16 and 18 Tickets $25 Six guitars, six guitarists, six styles of music, and one actor; this show explores the passion and love that all musicians share. Chase Padgett changes roles from a 19-year-old headbanger to a 76-year-old blues legend seamlessly. “It was something that brought a smile to our faces the moment it started and joy of the show continued for months after,” Cade says, smiling.

The Amazing Kreskin Mar. 22 Tickets $30 to $35 Those of a certain generation will recognize Kreskin from his TV show in the ‘70s which explored the human mind and his abilities as a mentalist. At 80 years old, he’s sharper than ever—and ready to pit his mind against the audience.

Who Killed Gertrude Crump? Apr. 11 and 12 Tickets $25 One woman. Ten characters. A murder mystery. What’s not to love? In this brand-new show from Tara Travis, a classic whodunit tale gets a new spin with Travis playing all the characters. Puppets in a giant dollhouse (complete with secret passages) play out a murder investigation—and a sharp-eyed audience member might just be able to figure it out before the characters do.

Japanese Knotweed

Japanese Knotweed is amongst the most difficult plants to control. It spreads along waterways and roadsides causing significant damage to property and infrastructure. It can grow to 2.1m (7ft) tall, resembling bamboo. Leaves are shovel shaped while the canes have characteristic purple flecks and die back to ground level in winter. The City maps and manages Japanese Knotweed on public property, dykes, and roadsides. Note: Mowing or weed-whacking can significantly contribute to the plant’s spread. If you suspect you have Japanese Knotweed on your property, contact the City’s Environmental Services Department at 604.793.2907 or visit chilliwack.com/knotweed for more information.

› 2014 Reader’s Choice

The best of the best The readers have spoken! With those words we kick off the 19th annual edition of the Chilliwack Times Readers’ Choice Awards. We’ve always been amazed with the discussions these choices generate—arguments about the best place to get this or that item, favourite places to eat and shop or why somebody doesn’t know what they’re talking about! We all love to voice our opinion on the thing nearest and dearest to our heart— where we spend our money. We also like to demonstrate to others our intelligence and good taste by recommending our favourites and hoping they think like we do. The highly subjective nature of this endeavour is evident by the myriad choices voted on by our readers. There were many close categories which means there are a lot of businesses doing good things out there. We hope you enjoy this section and we welcome your feedback. Congratulations to our iPad winners Cindy Penner and Al Boyes and to our $100 Shandhar Hut gift certificate winners Michelle Graham, Larry Peacock, Heather Currie and Ryan Janco.
