Log jam heroes get special honour Emotional reunion for rescued woman BY GREG LAYCHAK glaychak@chilliwacktimes.com
T and they’re a vital tool for animals.” FABLO will host a fundraiser at the Echo Room this Saturday, Aug. 23, with live bands, hot food, and a silent auction. Tickets are $20, which includes a meal provided by The Angry Chef and a beverage. The event runs from 6 p.m. until 11 p.m., and at the end of the night Grosvenor hopes they’ll have raised enough to buy at least one respirator kit for each of the fire halls in Chilliwack. “It’s not a huge amount, and it’s a doable amount,” Grosvenor says, noting each kit costs about $150 and has three different mask sizes to accommodate a variety of animals.
wo young men received certificates of recognition for their heroic rescue efforts on the Vedder River at the City of Chilliwack Council meeting Tuesday. Loren Muth and Kegan Madeira had freed Natisha Dunn from a log jam on the river earlier in the summer when she was holding on for her life in the fast flowing water. Muth and Madeira stood before council as Mayor Sharon Gaetz presented the men with her thanks and certificates. Dunn was in the audience with her family and teared up when the story of the rescue was recounted by Gaetz. “I told them I can’t thank them enough,” Dunn said after the event. “I’m here because of them. I’m just very thankful, and I look at life a lot differently now - I appreciate everything.” The waitress and mother recalled the day earlier in the summer when her dinghy deflated and left her in serious trouble. “I figured that was it for me and I was praying and I looked up and they were there,” said Dunn.

ouse fires are never easy on families. According to Laura Grosvenor, house fires are even harder on animals. “Most animals can’t get out of a house,” she explains. “Humans get trapped all the time, but they’re able to get out. Animals are stuck in a house.” Grosvenor has always felt a need to help animals, which you only need to look at her pets to see. She has three dogs and three cats, all of which are rescues. But with a little community help, Grosvenor is hoping to rescue more. Grosvenor, along with Nikki Mattila, is a co-founder of new

And with their first project, they’re raising money for animal respirators to help animals caught in house fires. “We have respirators for humans, but they don’t fit on animals. The human face and the animal face are certainly not the same.” Grosvenor explains. “They are a vital tool for humans,

Restore justice by buying a new bike
Annual auction set for Sept. 6
A
re you in the market for an (almost) new set of wheels? Gear up for a Chilliwack bike auction at Bernard Elementary on Sept. 6, where a wide variety of bicycles—from beauties to beaters—will be up for grabs as part of the annual Chilliwack Restorative Justice and Youth Advocacy Association used bike sale. The bikes on the auction block are donated by the City of Chilliwack, bringing recovered bikes back into loving hands. Organizers expect up to 100 bikes to find new homes after the auction—and no matter what style, brand, or breed of bicycle you’re looking for, you have a pretty good chance of finding it. Some will need a little TLC, but there will also be a selection of higher-end bicycles ready to be pedalled off the lot as soon as money changes hands. The proceeds from the auction will help fund Restorative Justice in Chilliwack, a program that allows first-time offenders to atone for a crime by repairing the damage done. “The money raised from the bikes plays a very important part in subsidizing this tremendous program,” said Restorative Justice executive board member and sale coordinator Peter Devette. “It takes the community coming out to make this a great sale.” And if you swing by with some cash in your pocket—not to mention a little determination and a healthy dose of strategy—you might just roll away with a steal of a deal. The auction takes place at Bernard Elementary on Sept. 6. Viewing begins at 9 a.m. and the auction starts at 10 a.m. sharp. Everything will be wrapped up by 11 a.m., and the auction is cash only. For those with a different sort of wheels, volunteers will also be running a by-donation carwash between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. to shine up all manner of vehicles.
Cracking the code

O
n Colin and Raven Schmidt’s dining room table, there are tablets and laptops in place of plates and dinnerware. The blinds are drawn and a projector lights up the screen at the head of the table, while they wait for guests to arrive. On this Tuesday, like most, the couple has transformed their dining space into a classroom for children ages eight to 18 to learn computer coding. “I think there’s a little bit of an idea out there in the world that programming is something that’s really hard —that only a select range of IQs can manage,” says Raven. “But actually it’s something that anybody can do.” The pair run private classes called Moxie Club out of their home based on the curriculum of Code.org, a website with a mission to get everyone coding. “Their attitude—and what the tech industry is lobbying for—is that it needs to be a core academic subject just like math and english,” says Colin.
“It has the potential to inspire the minds of young people to do more with computers than just search the Internet and play games.” - Alex Jarman “And that it’s not necessarily that every kid is going to become a programmer.” But being exposed to code in school will better prepare kids for their future in what is an undeniably digital world, says the Chilliwack tech entrepreneur. They use Code.org as a base for their teaching because the organization has created their own interactive graphical language. Its aim is at teaching transferable skills rather than focusing on particular languages that might come and go over time. Colin is no stranger to the concept, having taught himself computer programming starting in Grade 8 after a very early inspiration. “My first introduction to programming was kindergarten,” says Colin. “The local Chilliwack library, I kid you not, had a programming course for pre-schoolers.”
The library course of his youth used a language called Turbo Logo, which Colin says is conceptually similar to the Code.org language. And if that short-lived library course did nothing but plant a seed in a young Colin Schmidt’s mind, it will now serve to spark him to do the same for a future generation. “It has the potential to inspire the minds of young people to do more with computers than just search the Internet and play games,” says Alex Jarman, father to four of the students in Moxie Club classes. Jarman adds that the Schmidts have developed an effective way of teaching more complicated concepts through easy-to-play games and other strategies. “The public and private school systems would greatly benefit from such
a program and it would be an asset to a well-rounded education,” he says. “There is nothing like it out there.” Kirk Savage, Director of Instruction at the Chilliwack School District notes there are existing courses in secondary schools. Chilliwack Secondary has courses in Flash and Sardis Secondary teaches C++ and Java, according to Savage. However, at the elementary level he says the focus is on the fundamentals of digital literacy: etiquette, dos and don’ts, and interacting with computers and technology. “If you look at the program offerings of a secondary school they’re far more specific and varied,” says Savage. “Programming and coding falls into that kind of a specificity.” He compares those skills to many other specializations available at that level such as drafting and design or trades. But for parents who don’t want to wait for their kids to reach high school, Colin and Raven Schmidt’s Moxie Club is there ready to teach children the fundamentals of coding. ◗ Visit moxie.club for more info.

› News Equipment becoming more standard
{ RESCUE, from page A1 } The organization has already received a couple of donations, with local businesses sponsoring the purchase of respirators in return for their name on the kit. Chilliwack firefighter Andy Brown estimates animal respirators would see use once or twice a year locally. “Pretty much what we’ve done in the past is we’ve tried to use a standard face mask for a human and tried to adapt it to a pet,” he says. Because respirators depend on a seal around the face to get the recipient as much oxygen as possible, human respirators can’t always be successfully used on animals. “The animal respirators [are] contoured to fit the shape of the animal, so you would have a better chance of a successful outcome,” Brown explains.

A
lot has happened since Marc Emery went to jail in the United States four years ago. Not the least of which the state in which the Vancouver pot activist was sentenced to five years in federal prison for dealing marijuana seeds has now legalized the sale of cannabis. While Emery cooled his heels behind bars in Folkston, Ga., and Yazoo City, Miss., Colorado and then Washington became the first states to allow the possession, use, production, distribution and personal cultivation of marijuana. Some states have legalized its use for medical reasons. Another 15 states have decriminalized pot while other states have lowered penalties for possession of small amounts to a misdemeanour. The tide to accept marijuana for recreational use on par with alcohol, complete with all the tax revenues their sale generates for governments, seems to be turning. In Canada, possession of marijuana in any quantity remains illegal—although enforcement varies from province to province, even between municipalities. Emery’s incarceration in the U.S. wasn’t his first brush with the law. Nor with irony. When he operated a book shop in London, Ont., in the 1980s, he was charged with defying that province’s laws against stores operating on Sundays. Since 1992 stores in Ontario can open on Sundays. It seems once again Emery is on the leading edge of a societal shift.

Grandpa never failed to deliver Ernest Martz, Sept. 8, 1926 July 29, 2014
BE OUT GUEST Bobbi Levesque
I
f you grew up in Chilliwack, chances are you had a paper route delivering flyers at some point. If not, maybe you’ll remember receiving your local store flyers nicely rolled up in your mailbox hanger every week. My grandfather is the original founder of Chilliwack Flyer Service, which is now part of the Chilliwack Times. I’ve often wondered how many families were employed by Chilliwack Flyer Service throughout the years and for how many kids it was their first working experience. My grandfather passed away last month. He would have been 88 this September. One of the valuable things about honouring those that have passed on is to have the opportunity to share the stories of how this person has impacted our
lives. It is about celebrating their contribution. It seems important to honour my grandfather’s life in a way that connects him to the community that he knew and loved. You see, my grandfather was an integral part of the community of Chilliwack and it’s fitting we recognize his contribution. It’s kind of funny that it’s in a newspaper, delivered to your door. Although most of his friends have passed on before him, I believe that there are many that will remember him and may have something to share. I’d like to share a few of my memories of the wonderful man I’ve called grandpa my whole life, Ernest Martz. Some of my earliest memories as a little girl are of riding along with my grandfather to the printers in New Westminster, picking up the flyers for the
week. He always took me out for a Dilly Bar at the local DQ on our way home. In those days, they used to have plastic sticks in the Dilly Bars and if you were lucky, as you licked off the last bit of ice cream, you would find the word “Free” in the middle of the stick. I thought my grandpa was the greatest for buying me an ice cream every trip. It never occurred to me that he probably only bought the first one; I got a lucky free stick every time. He would make me laugh with his funny stories and corny jokes. Our time together was ours, my grandpa and just me, his only granddaughter. I learned from him the importance of spending time together. My grandpa had a heart for others. I recall a large family that had immigrated to Canada and settled in Chilliwack that my grandparents took an interest in and got to know. All of the kids in that family were given jobs in the workroom, inserting flyers and preparing the flyers for delivery. This is just one example of many families that my grandparents cared for and took a personal interest in. Over the years, many of the workroom
employees began calling him “Dad.”He taught me the value of caring for your community. He was patient and kind. I remember listening to my grandparents’ discussion over lunch one day about a found bundle of tossed flyers and asked him if the boy was going to get fired. My grandpa looked at me and said “No, but I am going to teach him a lesson.” My grandfather believed in these kids. He later told me how he went and talked with the young boy, to teach the impact his decision had on others, and to help him figure out what he could have done instead. He gave him another chance. There were a lot of stories like this over the years. I remember him telling me that they are just kids working at learning how to be responsible. I believe his approach helped teach a lot of kids a sense of responsibility. It helped me to remember to work at being more patient and understanding. Through the summer months, having a farm so close to the Prest Road

Remember: all of the listed people are innocent until proven guilty in court. overpass, there would invariably be stranded motorists knocking on the door asking for help at all hours. The common story was they had been driving through the mountains and made it this far before their car broke down. My grandma would quickly rustle up some food while my grandpa would do whatever he could to help them get what they needed to fix their car so they could be on their way. When the mountain passes would close during inclement weather, friends and family would arrive at the door to wait it out. These things happened so regularly, that we used to joke that they owned the Martz Hotel. Their door was always open to anyone in need. They didn’t hesitate to help in any way they could. I learned that everyone needs some help sometimes
and that it was important to step up and contribute. Growing up, I heard the story of how my grandparents met at Bible school and how grandpa snuck a secret first kiss with my grandma under a bridge where they hoped they wouldn’t be seen. He shared the adventures of their young family life, of moving to Chilliwack and settling on the Plett property, converting the farm’s old chicken coop into their home. I heard the story of how he came up with the idea of the flyer business and got it started. I heard of the struggles, the good times, the challenging times and how they persevered through it all. He showed me that sometimes you had to take a risk and be creative to get where you wanted to be. I can’t even begin to describe how my grandfather has impacted my life. He taught me to listen, to seek to understand, to offer grace, and to be
there for others. He taught me that a funny joke can lighten person’s day. He taught me to be communityminded and to be willing to contribute to the lives of others with what you have. My life is forever changed because of his influence and I am who I am in part because of his love for me. To think that my grandfather thought of an idea that ended up giving a lot of people jobs, a sense of belonging and contribution is something I’m pretty proud of. Chilliwack has been built through entrepreneurs like my grandfather, who find a way to take care of their family and doing so in a way that gives back into the community. ◗ Bobbi Levesque grew up in Chilliwack working in the family business and now is an entrepreneur herself.

We should be grateful that someone saw us fall BY MORRIS WATSON Chilliwack Victory Church
D
o you like stories? I like stories. I like their illustrative power and their ability to convey a message that is understandable. Let me tell you a story today. Say that you’re taking a hike in the mountains and you come to an incredible gorge with the most fantastic waterfall cascading through it. It so captivates you that you must get that, once-in-alifetime photo. People won’t believe me if I don’t come back with a picture, you rationalize. But you can’t get just the right angle without going out onto
a precarious ledge that protrudes into the gorge. As you step onto the ledge it gives way under your weight and you, the ledge and all your belongings go crashing into the raging water below. As you wash up on shore with a broken leg you realize that you’re in grave trouble. You search your brain for solutions of rescue but none of them are plausible. You can’t climb out with a broken leg, your cellphone is destroyed and your voice is drowned out by the sound of rushing water. Wet, cold, broken and exposed, you are in danger of losing your life. What do you do? You are helpless to save yourself. Then from the top of the gorge you hear a faint voice crying out,
“Are you alive?” “Can you hear me?” “I saw you fall and I have sent my son down the gorge to help you.” Hope fills your being, knowing that there is someone that can aid you in your plight. It’s in that moment that you are grateful that someone saw you fall. As extreme as your situation may be in the moment, you know that you will be okay; help has arrived. This is the situation that mankind finds themselves in today. Man has fallen into a gorge with no hope of recovery except for the Son that has been sent to help us. It’s in this moment that we should be grateful that someone saw us fall. This is not
a religious picture; it is a redemptive picture. It’s not about who you join it’s about who you embrace. All of man’s solutions are constructed from the bottom of the gorge, but God’s solution is constructed from above. God the Father sent His Son Jesus down the sides of the gorge to give us the hope of salvation and not to sell us a membership to a club. He is not asking you to join something or to buy something; He is asking you to receive something. He is asking you to receive His Son and embrace the hope that He is able to rescue you from your dire straits. In the Biblical Book of Hebrews 7:25 speaking of Jesus it says, “Therefore
He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.” Jesus descended into the gorge to make intercession for us so that we didn’t have to rely on our own devices to get us out of our fallen state. Plain and simple, this is the message of the gospel. If we will receive His unconditional help, He will lift us up and out of the gorge that we find ourselves in. His only agenda is to save us and His only expectation is that we receive His help. ◗ Morris Watson is a pastor with Chilliwack Victory Church. He can be contacted at morris@v-church.com.

Willing was able with shot put
Tasha Willing of Chilliwack won silver in U18 shot put at the Legion National Youth Track and Field Championship Sunday, with a best throw of 13.20 metres. Willing is from Valley Royals track and field club. Chilliwack track and field had no representatives at the meet, citing their closed track as a factor. However, the club will bid to host an event in the coming season after an upgrade to their facilities is complete.

The power of a positive attitude
A
balanced diet, exercise, genetics, and even certain medications can work in concert to make a person healthy. But a person’s demeanor also can factor into personal health. The Mayo Clinic says that whether or not a person is an optimist or a pessimist can affect many areas of his or her health and well-being, and those who see the glass as half-full may ultimately be healthier than those who see it as half-empty. Positive thinking can make it easier to manage stress. The body responds differently based on an individual’s mood, and it may produce stress hormones if a person’s outlook is negative. Such stress hormones can compromise the immune system, increase blood pressure and even reduce the body’s ability to burn fat effectively. Thinking negatively and being on edge also can increase a person’s risk for developing cardiovascular disease and aging prematurely. Conversely, maintaining a positive attitude can be good for your
health. Studies have shown that thinking positively can lower rates of depression and anxiety, increase life expectancy and provide greater resistance to certain illnesses, such as the common cold. A 2012 preliminary study from researchers at Stanford University found that daughters of mothers suffering from depression were able to witness their own stress levels go down on a real-time brain scan as they switched from negative thoughts to happy ones. Researchers are unsure why positive thinking has such profound effects. But in addition to limiting stress-releasing hormones, positive thinking may inspire people to live healthier lifestyles that make them more likely to get routine physical activity and eat a healthy diet. Happy people also may be less likely to use tobacco products or alcohol as a coping mechanism when dealing with elevated stress levels, and such people will not have to deal with the side effects that can come with these unhealthy behaviors.
L
aughter combined with positive thinking is a prescription for good health. Research shows laughter relaxes the entire body, relieving physical tension and stress for up to 45 minutes. Laughter decreases stress hormones and increases infection-fighting antibodies. Endorphins that promote an overall sense of well-being and relieve pain can be released from a hearty bout of laughter. Furthermore, laughter can increase blood flow throughout the body, which protects against hypertension and heart attack.
Becoming a more positive thinker can take a little effort for those without a natural inclination for optimism. But because positive thinking boasts such significant health benefits, men and women might want to try the following methods to embrace their optimistic side. ◗ Exercise. Start an exercise regimen,
as physical activity naturally reduces stress and can improve mood. ◗ Embrace humour. Surround yourself with others who bring a smile to your face. Look for ways to laugh as much as possible. Rather than go out to dinner or a bar with friends, head to a comedy club. Choose comedies at the movie theater and find humour

in everyday happenings. ◗ Identify areas that need change. Think about moments in life that may bring you down or inspire negative reactions. If work is problematic, figure out ways to make it better and work toward improving the situation. ◗ Be supportive of yourself. Consider what you would say to others and then treat yourself the same way. Would you be overly negative or derogatory toward a complete stranger? Probably not, and there is no reason to be harsh with yourself, either. Push negative thoughts away. ◗ Volunteer. One way to see the world in a more positive light is to help others who may be less fortunate than you. Volunteering not only helps others, but it also can help you put your own problems in perspective. Volunteering also helps you feel good about your efforts, which can translate into positive thinking. ◗ Think like a child. Take a cue from youngsters and find joy in the little things. Let children be the leaders in activities and mimic what they do. You just may find yourself laughing more and enjoying yourself. Being silly for a little while is one way to recapture the feelings of youth. Positive thinking is more than the subject matter of self-help books. It’s a viable way to improve personal health and live longer.

BY GREG LAYCHAK glaychak@chilliwacktimes.com
U
niversity of the Fraser Valley (UFV) golfers played a couple of rounds last week at the Chilliwack Golf Club to vie for a spot on the 2014-15 varsity team. Coach Chris Bertram said there was a lot of talent present for the men’s and women’s tryouts last Tuesday to Thursday. “We’ve got four or five promising recruits working their tails off out there for a spot today,” he said Wednesday. With 15 men trying for eight slots, an abundance of skill creates its own unique circumstances for the male category. “There’s going to be some good players that aren’t going to make the team,” said Bertram. “That’s a good problem from a coach’s standpoint, but makes for some difficult decisions.” It’s no wonder there are so many golfers trying to get on the UFV team. Bertram has led the team to a history of successes over his 10 years of coaching at the school. In the last eight years leading up to this season UFV men haven’t finished lower than second, according to Bertram. And the squad has won four conference championships, including the last two.
Greg Laychak/TIMES
Aaron Pauls (left) and Connor McLellan prepare for their next shots on hole seven at CC&CC during UFV golf team tryouts last week. Accomplished 23-year-old Chilliwack golfer Aaron Pauls has been a part of that recent streak, contributing to the team win last year in the CCAA Golf National Championship and placing second in individual play. “My expectations for this final season are to win a provincial title and head back to Quebec and defend a national championship,” said Pauls. “As far as individual-
ly, I always expect myself to be in the hunt for all our events . . . to be close to the lead down the stretch and to have a chance to win.” Returning for his last year, Pauls said he will move on to study his Masters in Kinesiology at the University of Nevada after this season at UFV. And while Pauls finishes off his Fraser Valley career, a new promising Chilliwack golfer joins the
UFV team this year. “Coming in as a freshman on a national championship winning team is an honor,” said initiate Connor McLellan. “I believe we have a stronger team this year than last and I look forward to trying to defend our national championship.” McLellan won the trial tournament by three strokes to secure his spot on the eight-man roster, and said he was confident for the season ahead. The kinesiology student has been golfing since he was six, and racked up some impressive finishes in the Niagara Falls Canadian Junior Boys Championship and the Canadian Amateur Championship in Winnipeg this past summer. McLellan will likely be around next year when the PING CCAA Golf National Championships comes to Chilliwack to the same course these young golfers played last week. Coach Bertram said the team looks forward to having home course advantage, but added they can’t look too far ahead. First they will have to defend their championship title in Quebec City this October. “Best case scenario, we’re twotime national champs defending when we come back here,” said Bertram.

Hard-luck Huskers can’t find the keys to victory almost evenly matched, it was passing where the Broncos dominated. Kamloops threw for four touchdowns, with Chilliwack throwing four interceptions. Kicker Dan Erickson hit 20 and 25 yard field goals for his contribution. Corner Jason Ghag proved his game with six tackles and an assist, marking more than any defensive player in the game. The Valley Huskers will travel to Westhills Stadium in Langford Saturday to take on the Westshore Rebels for the second of five away games.

How to make school lunches healthier
T
he benefits of a healthy diet are clear and well documented. In addition to providing the nutrients a growing body needs, consuming a balanced diet helps children maintain a healthy weight. Obesity continues to be a growing problem among school-aged children and can contribute to the onset of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, and many other adverse medical conditions. Children attending school will eat at least one meal away from home each day. A healthy lunch provides sound nutrition to give students energy to do well in school and for the rest of the day. Children who do not eat well at lunch may have difficulty concentrating, while others may feel sluggish or tired. As part of the 2010 Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, the United States National School Lunch Program was revised to guarantee healthy, nutritionally sound choices, as established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, for lunch. America’s school menus were altered to be healthier than ever, including more fruits and vegetables while limiting calories. Despite some controversy through the years, including some students saying the smaller portions and food choices aren’t
This school lunch can be made more healthy by swapping the white bread with whole grain bread and choosing low-fat milk over a sugary juice pouch. always satisfying, states suffering from high child obesity rates have seen marked improvements. Canada is one of the few leading industrialized countries that does not have a national nutrition strategy to implement healthy school lunches. It’s estimated that only 10 to 15 per cent of Canadian children have access to school meals. These meals are not provided by a well-funded national program, but by a patchwork of individual volunteer efforts, some provincial government funding and corporate donations. Whether students purchase
lunch from school or bring lunch from home, there are ways to guarantee a more diverse offering and better nutrition. Here are some guidelines to follow. ◗ Offer nutrient-dense foods. Foods should contribute to the daily recommended amounts of protein, iron, calcium, vitamin A, and vitamin C. Provide a selection of foods, such as lean protein, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, that will give children the nutrients they need. Nutrient-dense foods also help kids feel fuller, longer. ◗ Limit fat intake. Avoid foods
that do not get their fat from polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. Saturated fats can lead to obesity and clogged arteries. Fish, nuts and olives are healthy fat sources. ◗ Let kids choose some of their food. Allow kids to pick some of the healthy foods they will be eating. Giving kids a say in their diets will make them more likely to enjoy their lunches and cut back on snack foods. Eating meals regularly will keep energy levels up during school and make kids less likely to reach for unhealthy snacks to fill hunger gaps. ◗ Make small changes that add up. Switching from white bread to whole grain breads, and opting for low-fat dairy products instead of full-fat dairy products can make a world of difference. Kids may not notice a change in texture or flavor, and many of kids’ favorite foods, such as chicken nuggets, pizza and macaroni and cheese, can be made with healthier ingredients. ◗ Remember, beverages count, too. Giving children a healthy lunch and then packing a sugar-filled, high-calorie drink negates your efforts. Water is always the best option for a healthy drink. Low-fat milk and real fruit juice consumed in moderation also make healthy alternatives to sugary beverages.

‘Stuff the Bus’ with school supplies helping families Chartwell steps up for local kids
vices programs. Chartwell has done “Stuff the Bus” fundraisers for The Salvation Army and Chilliwack Community Services in the past, but this is only the second time they have done one collecting school supplies. “Thank you very much to Chartwell homes for initiating this amazing fundraiser to help families through Chilliwack Community Services” says Karin Massar, the fund development officer for Chilliwack Community Services. “These school supplies will help kids who may have had limited supplies without these donations. Many times families in our programs have to choose between food and shelter over other essentials like school supplies. Special thanks to Target and the community as well; we are overwhelmed with this support.”
T
he three Chilliwack Chartwell Retirement Residences; Hampton House, Lynnwood and Birchwood raised more than $750 in school supplies and more than $100 in cash at their second annual “Stuff the Bus” with school supplies drive. The Chartwell Residences teamed up outside of Target at Cottonwood Mall on Aug. 15 with the goal of collecting as many school supplies as they could in a three hour time span. Residents from each residence also have been donating supplies throughout this month. Everything from pencils and glue to geometry sets and backpacks were donated. Volunteers from the Chartwell residences and Community Services were also selling cotton candy and cold drinks for a donation to the cause. All donations will be going to help Chilliwack Community Services’ Early Years and Family Ser-

Tips to stock up on student tech supplies
with a word processor pre-installed. If not, software is available for purchase or parents can download free shareware. Examples of word-processing software include Microsoft Word, Wordperfect, TextMaker, Corel Write, and Google Docs. ◗ High-speed Internet: Households that have not yet upgraded to digital Internet services are well behind the times. Many cable and fiber optic television providers now offer television, Internet and phone bundles for reasonable fees. Compared to the dial-up services and initial coaxial Internet of yesteryear, today’s Internet speeds are light years ahead. Students who need to stream movies or other content or upload and download large picture or text files often find high-speed Internet invaluable. ◗ Digital planners: Many devices come with calendars and planner functions built in, and those that don’t can often be upgraded by simply downloading an app that performs such functions. A calendar is a handy tool for students who need to keep current on assignments and tests, extracurricular activities and other important dates to remember. Students may want to lean toward a calendar app that is integrated across many platforms. This way calendar events can be synched and viewed on phones, laptops and tablets. ◗ Phones: Smartphones are akin to mini computers capable of more functions than one can imagine. Kids can use their phones to get a head start on homework assignments or to email teachers if they forget an assignment at school. In addition, students who have their own smartphones can easily contact their parents in case of emergencies, and parents can rest easy knowing their kids are always just a phone call or text message away. Depending on the courses they take, students may need additional gadgets, such as graphing calculators, scanners and printers. Parents can speak their kids’ teachers to determine which devices will support lessons students are learning in the classroom.

S
hopping for back-to-school supplies was once limited to picking up a few folders, spiral-bound notebooks and assorted writing implements. But today’s students need much more, including a variety of technological gadgets, to keep up with their classmates. Technology is now an integral part of many classrooms, where Internet-ready devices such as tablets, computers and smartboards are part of daily lessons. Although some educators believe overuse of such devices in the classroom can have a negative impact on students and make it more difficult to capture and hold students’ attention, many feel that technology integrated into the curriculum improves students’ learning processes and outcomes, noting that interactive media and use of technology are conducive to project-based learning. Many students already know how to browse the Internet, create blogs or manipulate photos. But they may not know how to make use of digital resources with regard to their education. Students cannot learn such lessons unless they are equipped with the tools to facilitate digital learning. Parents who want their youngsters to embrace technology as part of their education may want to consider the following devices. ◗ Internet-ready devices: Internet-ready devices include desktop computers, laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, and even smartphones. Assignments may require that students use the Internet, and many of today’s teachers create their own websites where they list assignments or post links to supplemental materials. Students may have to confer with teachers via email or share materials with classmates. ◗ Word-processing applications: Whether students are writing a 20-page term paper or have to type up a short summary for a homework assignment, eventually they will need access to word-processing software that includes basic typing, editing and desktop publishing functions.

Not-so-quiet in the library B BY DESSA BAYROCK dbayrock@chilliwacktimes.com
onnie Soon has a background in formal dance training and a childhood spent drumming along to 45s in the basement. And while dancing and drumming are natural bedfellows, you’ve never seen them combine quite like this before. Soon is one of two taiko drummers heading on a Fraser Valley Regional Library (FVRL) tour this month as part of Uzume Taiko—a performance style that involves dancing, traditional Japanese drumming, and just a dash of martial arts. It’s quite the show—and not at all what you’d expect to see in the library. “I’m hoping people don’t need to do a lot of studying while we’re performing, because it’s infectious,” Soon says. “You can’t help but look up.” It’s just one example that libraries are changing; the shushing librarian and no-talking zones are becoming stereotypes of the past. And what better way to prove that than bringing two energetic dancers and a huge set of traditional drums into the stacks? “I think we might be creating a little bit of a stir in the library,” Soon says with a wink. “It shakes things, it vibrates things! We usually dislodge birdies and things

from gymnasium ceilings . . . so I wonder what we’ll dislodge from the library ceiling. “I hope we don’t vibrate books off the shelves!”
◗ Uzume Taiko visited the Chilliwack Library this past Tuesday, and they’ll be dropping into the Sardis Library on Friday, Aug. 22, between 2 and 2:45 p.m. Their performance includes a few routines, as well as brief educational breaks where the performers talk about the history of the drums and the art form. Check out the summer program guide at www.fvrl.ca to see other Fraser Valley performance dates.

Lounge Hounds love their rockabilly BY DESSA BAYROCK dbayrock@chilliwacktimes.com
T
here’s nothing quite like rockabilly. The genre combines classic rock and roll with a touch of country swing, and it’s coming to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre this weekend in the form of three local boys. Keith Marr, Evan Duncan, and Tyson Finley are better known as the Lounge Hounds, and they’ll be hitting the Rotary Hall Studio Theatre on Aug 23 for one of their longest and best shows to date. They’ll play Eddie Cochrane and Gene Vincent. They’ll play Buddy Holly. They’ll play Presley.
And as always, they’ll play for the fun of it. “We like to entertain people,” says front man Keith Marr simply. “We just thoroughly enjoy the music we’re doing—for sure.” It’s a simple sentiment, but it’s clear that’s the long and the short of the matter. The Hounds have toured around B.C. and the Valley for the last five years, playing everything from weddings to corporate gigs. Last week they played for a crowd at Party in the Park. But this show is on another scale entirely. It’s one of the biggest shows they’ve played, and they’re breaking out the props and pumping up
the energy—and maybe even pulling out a few songs of their own. “Not too many people have heard those yet—it’s a bit of a new thing we’re working on,” Marr says modestly. It’s another way the band is growing forward—not just paying tributes to the greats, but adding their own voice to the medley. But all in all, Marr says the audience can expect a thoroughly energetic tour of the classics— from Carl Perkins to the Stray Cats. “We play their music the way they used to play it,” Marr says with a smile. “We just keep it alive—we keep that era going. It’s a blast from the past.
“Anyone from that era gets to relive the moments,” he continues. “Us being a bunch of young guys, people love it. We have good energy and good stage presence, and we always have a good time when we play.” And it’s the kind of good energy and good time that are bound to get an audience on their feet and grooving along. ◗ The Lounge Hounds hit the Cultural Centre studio stage this Aug. 23 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are just under $40, and available at the Cultural Centre box office at 604-391-7469 or online at www. chilliwackculturalcentre.ca.
