Still no charges laid in cattle abuse case BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

ne year after animal cruelty charges were recommended against a Chilliwack dairy farm and eight employees, an animal rights group is concerned with the delay. “We hope the Crown is taking this case seriously and will move forward on charges soon,” Vancouver Humane Society (VHS) spokesperson Peter Fricker said in a statement issued Monday. The case involves Canada’s largest dairy farm, Chilliwack Cattle Sales, located on Prairie Central Road in Chilliwack. Last June the national media spotlight was on the community and eight

It’s been more than a year since animal abuse video at local dairy farm led to investigation and boycott employees were fired after a video was released by the vegan-lifestyle organization Mercy For Animals (MFA) that showed hitting, punching, kicking and hanging of cows. At the time, Lorie Chortyk of the BC SPCA said she had seen a lot of disturbing animal abuse videos, but “I have seen nothing that sickened me like this.” In an interview Monday, Fricker said a year seemed like a long time compared to other animal abuse cases. “This was a very high profile case that had a lot of public interest. The video that appeared on television

screens across the country showed some pretty graphic abuse of animals so I think there was an expectation, at least in the animal welfare community, that there would be some charges laid fairly soon.” Despite the delay, the regional Crown counsel said the case had not been pushed aside. “It’s still under review,” James MacAulay told the Times. “I expect a decision fairly soon.” He added that it is not unusual for a decision to press charges to take this long “in these circumstances.” Asked if he could be more specif-

ic about what “fairly soon” meant, MacAulay said, simply, “No.” While the Vancouver Humane Society expressed concern the case was not being taken seriously, Chortyk at the BC SPCA is not worried about the delay. “It is longer than we were expecting but we know Crown always does a thorough job,” she told the Times Monday. “We are confident they are dealing with it properly.” Chortyk said the SPCA has checked in with Crown over the past year “and they have been doing their due diligence.”

After the incident last June, the B.C.

Chilliwack Cattle Sales is owned by members of the Kooyman family, who expressed shock and disgust when the animal abuse video surfaced. Many veterinarians and dairy industry experts have stated that animal abuse has crept into largescale dairy operations and is commonplace. None of the names of the employees have been officially released, but before one employee was fired, he occasionally posted cow-related messages on social media. “I strongly dislike creatures of the bovine variety,” he posted in February. The undercover Mercy For Animals worker said that in an incident recorded on video in May, 2014, this particular individual “repeatedly whips cow trapped in parlour stall in hocks.” He also allegedly “jabs a cow in the face with a metal pole,” and a day earlier “twists a cow’s tail until a ‘pop’ can be heard.”

Taking a different view

Mayor Sharon Gaetz favours the Housing First model that Medicine Hat used to end its homeless problem Greg Laychak/TIMES - file

People resting beneath the Yale Road underpass before a controversial gate was erected to close off the area late last year. BY GREG LAYCHAK glaychak@chilliwacktimes.com

report that takes a unique look at homelessness was released last month concluding that the best approach to getting people off the streets is by building and filling homes with a Housing First approach. The report titled Homelessness and Low-Barrier Housing in Chilliwack: A Qualitative Research Report looks at the situation of Chilliwack’s populations that are unsheltered or at-risk of becoming homeless, avoiding the usual statistics-based approach. The Housing First model that the Chilliwack Social Research and Planning Council (CSRPC) report recommends is an increasingly favoured method of providing shelter and solutions to an existing homeless population. It was popularized in Canada when Medicine Hat Mayor Ted Clugston declared his city was the first to end homelessness using the approach. And Chilliwack is now looking to pursue the model according to Mayor Sharon Gaetz. “The studies have been done and they

indicate that it costs far more to have someone on the street using excessive medical care . . . social services,” she said. And from economic studies, Gaetz said results show it’s far more advantageous for communities to provide housing to people. “So from a purely economic point of view it makes sense,” she said. “From a compassionate point of view it makes sense as well.” But Gaetz also acknowledges that the discussion about such an issue is just beginning, and that there are bound to be opposing voices over such a contentious issue. “I think there are those who would believe that perhaps this is enabling people that may have a drug or alcohol problem and that they don’t want to spend their hard-earned dollars building a home for someone who doesn’t have one,” she said. But Gaetz thinks funding the solutions is the responsibility of the provincial and federal governments. The mayor said that Chilliwack is not currently eligible for a federal government homeless partnering strategy funding, so the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) is putting together a resolution for the

“So from a purely economic point of view it makes sense. From a compassionate point of view it makes sense as well.” - Sharon Gaetz next UBCM convention. The document will call on the federal and provincial governments to provide adequate funding and to include communities that were not originally eligible in their list. “We know full well we have 72 that were identified in our last homelessness count that need help,” Gaetz said. A Housing First strategy involves getting people off of the streets immediately without the barriers or rules that often keep individuals moving between emergency shelters or living outside. If an individual is sheltered, the Homelessness and Low-Barrier Housing report says, they stand a much better chance of dealing with whatever issues are causing their housing instability in the first place.

Once they are no longer homeless the report recommends having integration with the flexible services necessary to provide stability, so it’s easier for individuals to seek help with issues that typically keep them on the streets. In contrast, a typical shelter model follows the opposite philosophy where those problems, such as addictions, must be dealt with before the person is allowed to sleep in its beds. The study is being considered as a part of the city’s housing strategy, according to Karen Stanton Chilliwack’s manager of long range planning. “The city is a major partner of Chilliwack Healthier Community (CHC), which identified low barrier housing as a priority housing need last year,” she said. “The CHC Housing First task team, made up of a wide range of community partners . . . identified the need for a local assessment to assist in identifying possible approaches to meet local housing needs.” The study is a part of that local needs assessment, and the task team is actively looking at opportunities to implement a Housing First approach in Chilliwack, which would include both market and non-market housing. ◗ To read the report go to: goo.gl/7MvlbD.

Sex cards fiasco an honest error

to:lo Health recognized and expressed regret this week for an incident when a few sets of explicitly illustrated cards describing sex acts were found in CHANCE alternate school students’ “goodie bags.” “It was just an honest error that happened and we take full responsibility for that error,” said the organization’s health manager Kelowa Edel about the May episode. Edel added that the cards are a sexual health and safety learning tool reserved for an older audience and that they were placed in the students’ gift bags by a volunteer at Sto:lo Health who was delivering the sexual health presentation to the middle school children. “We have spoken to our volunteer and she is so upset that this occurred,” Edel said. The organization will vet all of their informational resources by a senior nurse in the future to ensure something similar doesn’t happen again, the health manager said. The incident sparked debate about sexual education on social media, and angered some parents of the children who

attend CHANCE. “Sex from A-Z Cards: Information for Young Gay and Bisexual Men” is just what the title says it is according to Chris Thomas of the AIDS Committee of Toronto (ACT). “They are used in outreach as an engagement tool, something to get guys into conversations that can be difficult to get off the ground.” And though Thomas added they are an effective resource for ACT’s target demographic, they would never have been allowed to be distributed to middle school kids if detected, according to CHANCE principal Chuck Lawson. It’s not the first time ACT material has controversially found it’s way into young hands. Just a month ago a Toronto mother complained that her 16-yearold daughter picked up an ACT how-to guide for safe BDSM play at West End alternative school during a mental health f a i r, Ne w s Ta l k 1 0 1 0 reported. Similar to the A-Z cards handed out in Chilliwack, that guide is intended for a very specific group of readers and is “best-suited” to remain in that community, Thomas told NewsTalk.

It is significant in every way to Sto:lo territories culture and families. A live salmon is represented, moving and giving life (three red eggs). The red circle in the centre represents unity, working together, and people gathering as one, while the mountains represent Sto:lo territory with the sun as it rises every morning from the east, reflecting on the Fraser River, flowing through Sto:lo lands bringing life and hope for a new day. The Sto:lo Service Agency logo was designed by Bon Graham-Krulicki.

The water droplet in the centre of the logo represents the Sto:lo (People of the River) forming two hands shaking—a universal sign of business. On the outside of the droplet, there are two open native hands (in the position of ”giving thanks” or “honouring”) within two salmon, which represent Sto:lo culture and traditions. Two figures rest on the outside edge, representing the people, businesses and organizations who support and do business with the group. Curving along the bottom of the circle, the cityscape represents the future and growth of Sto:lo businesses.

Does violent past play a role?

B.C. Supreme Court justice heard arguments this week and last over whether the man convicted of killing Robert-Jan Planje in Chilliwack five years ago should be labelled a dangerous or long-term offender. Steven Frederickson was acquitted of the second-degree murder of Planje in October 2013 at the Ashwell residence the two men shared. After a trial, Supreme Court Justice William Grist found reasonable doubt in the Crown’s assertion there was enough intent for second-degree murder, but he found the then 47-year-old Frederickson guilty of manslaughter. Frederickson, a crack addict, has a long history of violent incidents including a stabbing in 1987, and alleged stabbing in prison and an incident where he brought a gun to a “very volatile situation.” After the manslaughter conviction in 2013, the sentencing hearing was delayed as the Crown prepared for

Crown seeks dangerous offender status

the dangerous offender hearing. In court Tuesday, forensic psychiatrist Dr. Rakesh Lamba testified that in addition to the violent past, two suicidal suggestions by Frederickson indicated a sign of potential for violence. “Violence towards others and violence towards self are really two sides of the same coin,” Lamba said. He testified that suicidal tendencies show a lack of emotional regulation and a lack of control. Frederickson’s lawyer Ken Beatch cross-examined Lamba and suggested because the convicted man is deaf, some of the standard psychiatric tests administered may have faulty results. Throughout the trial and the hearing, Frederickson has been assisted by two sign language translators. Beatch also tried to get Lamba to admit that since there was no evidence Frederickson had inflicted physical injury since a stabbing incident in 1987, it was an “indication he

has learned at least somewhat so that he doesn’t strike out with weapons.” “No, I don’t agree,” Lamba responded, adding that he brought a gun to a “volatile situation” in a later incident, and the death of Planje could have been as a result of blunt force trauma from a weapon. “The seriousness is in the outcome,” Lamba said. Planje’s body was found near Hope on Dec. 30, 2010, more than two weeks after he was last seen. The night before Planje’s death, Frederickson said the two spent the evening drinking wine, with Planje smoking marijuana while he smoked crack cocaine. Frederickson said he woke up the next day in his underwear in Planje’s bed, claiming he had been sexually assaulted. At trial, Grist found the defence unbelievable since the 64-year-old Planje was a five-foot-two-inch transgendered individual with female genitalia.

Faces impaired driving charges after hitting pedestrian BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

young Chilliwack man faces serious criminal charges after a hit-and-run injured a pedestrian last week. Gerard Nikolayevich Barten is next due in court June 23 facing three

charges, including impaired driving causing bodily harm and failing to stop at an accident scene causing bodily harm. On June 4 at approximately 10:45 p.m., a pedestrian was struck by a red car at Hodgins Avenue and Mary Street, according to Chilliwack RCMP.

Witnesses said the car continued westbound on Hodgins Avenue without stopping. Police and BC Ambulance personnel quickly responded to the reported collision and located the victim. A 56-year-old man, who sustained life threatening injuries, was transported to hospital.

Hot dogs cook in a car oven

◗ Publisher

t’s that time of year again, when you make sure the air conditioning is working in your car and maybe even consider installing an automatic car starter—if you don’t already have one—to cool down the interior before you get in, because you just know, “it’s going to be an oven in there.” With the heat comes the annual warnings about leaving pets in your car. Not heeding these warnings can lead to tragic consequences, yet we continue to see parked vehicles with furry friends cooped up inside—usually a dog. Sure, most people leave their windows down a crack to allow for air circulation, but studies have shown that doing so doesn’t help much to prevent dangerously high temperatures in an enclosed space. Dogs play an important role in people’s lives. “Man’s best friend” is a commonly-accepted moniker for a reason, after all. Many take their dog everywhere, as they would young children or other people who can’t be left unaccompanied at home. Some see their dog as a member of the family too important to leave alone at home. But for whatever reason, some people still feel it’s acceptable to put that “friend” in a dangerous situation that could leave them with heat stroke in a matter of minutes, or worse, kill them.

Time to tax absentee landlords

van and Ann Coutu held a mini-protest last Friday on the sidewalk in front of their neighbour’s house. They held signs: “Tear down your crackshack” and “9 years of problems” and “Absentee landlord accountability.” To rally in front of the home of an absentee landlord may seem like whistling in the wind: He wasn’t around to see it. So, better yet, the Coutus are considering a drive to East 40th Street in Vancouver where the owner of the property lives. Walk in front of his neatly manicured lawn with signs. Why not? For years this guy has rented the house to insufferable people who leave needles in the yard, steal from neighbours and are generally the kind of flophouse tenants who have no respect for the community. Sound familiar? We saw this recently on Rotary Street. After the police cracked down I predicted the crackshack whacka-mole would begin. This is it. The city told the owner of the house next to the Coutus to clean it up. He did it, to a point. The house still looks like crap and is likely uninhabitable. The city has done all it can. Neighbours say the trouble will return. Maybe absentee homeowners like this

PAUL J. HENDERSON @peejayaitch should have to pay some sort of a special tax. A recent survey found, in fact, that British Columbians are in support of an “absentee homeowner tax.” If you don’t live in a community where you own a property, there doesn’t seem to be enough of a reason to care if that community flourishes or falters. In the online survey by Insights West, 73 per cent said levying a tax on people who acquire properties in a city where they don’t live is a “very good” or “good” idea. That sentiment was highest in Metro Vancouver (77 per cent) and among people aged 18 to 34 (76 per cent) and those in the highest annual household income bracket (76 per cent). The survey was more focused on foreign real estate speculators: Seventy per cent think that when foreigners buy homes here, the purchases boost the value of homes owned by Canadians. However, 86 per cent believe that people who own homes but don’t live in them

are speculators and not really part of the community. “Homeowners actually see some benefits from foreign ownership when it comes to the possibility of an increased value for their property,” says Mario Canseco of Insights West. “Still, many residents are voicing dissatisfaction with the fact that these empty homes are having a negative effect on their community.” To that end, there is the Houston, B.C., man who owns a house across the street from the First Avenue problem, a property similarly plagued by drug users and thieves when rented, squatters and firebugs when empty. I have no statistics to back this up, but I bet homes rented and then used as drug flophouses are more likely to be owned by people not from the community. Some recent properties that have had incidents: a White Rock company owns three properties on College Street, two of which were destroyed by deliberately set fires. Then there is the Richmond man who owns a known drug house now boarded up on Chesterfield. And who could forget Denvar Morris Van Rooi from Mission who owns 9562 Rotary St., a property so infested with drug-dealing scum and thieving low-lifes that the

neighbourhood rose up against them. Thankfully so did the police. (See Times story May 7, 2015.) Of course, not every property owner who doesn’t live in the city is negligent. And there are local owners of problem properties as well. A few doors down from our office is one owned by a Chilliwack man. A problem house on Robson Street lists a homeowner who apparently lives at the property. (Although I suspect that’s not true, looking at the house.) We can’t always blame the “other.” That’s dangerous. In predominantly white Chilliwack there is a danger of this sounding racist. (The owner of the First Avenue property is Chinese.) While the survey found 21 per cent of British Columbians believe the debate on foreign real estate ownership is inherently racist, the proportion climbs to 35 per cent among residents of East Asian descent. But the issue of Canadian absentee landlords has nothing to do with race. It’s simple: Landlords need to treat properties as if they lived in them. If you don’t live in our community and you own property, maybe it is time you paid a tax to help pay for the property management services being carried out by the RCMP and city staff.

Wonders never cease

Editor: Comments: Gas bill introspection. Maybe it’s about getting old. Spending time looking at your gas bill and wondering how it happens that in the bill for the month of May from FortisBC for $30.84, the actual charge for “cost of gas” was $4.72. I take this to be approximately 15 per cent of the total. It’s somewhat like being charged $25 for a $3 burger. But in this case the actual natural gas, methane from beneath the surface of the ground, is a publicly-owned resource. It’s extracted and sold on public sufferance. Now, to be fair, there are “Delivery Charges.” It is true that the pipes to my house were installed decades ago by a publicly owned gas company and to be doubly fair, they don’t seem to leak. But $19.19 (or 400 per cent of the “cost of gas”)? We also have “Storage and Transport” which is somehow conceptually distinct from “Delivery” at $2.53 (or 54 per cent of the “cost of gas”), and Carbon tax, Clean Energy Levy and GST at $4.40 (or the virtual equivalent of the “cost of gas”). It would therefore seem to the naive customer to be the case that substantially reducing gas consumption in the home would lead to a very small reduction in the total charge which after all is supposed to be the public policy point of the carbon tax in the first place is it not? FortisBC is regulated by the low-profile British Columbia Utilities Commission run by the not terribly well known Len Kelsey and 10 even lesser known commissioners. This arrangement is in lieu of a previous era’s 100 per cent public ownership of BCGas. One is driven to ask why the delivery of publicly owned heating gas is not still a public utility? Well, it was sold off in two stages by the Vander Zalm and Campbell governments to Kinder Morgan of Houston, Texas. The current owner, FortisBC, is a subsidiary of Fortis Inc. (formerly Newfoundland Light & Power Co.) said to be Canada’s largest private utility company. It acquired the BC gas business of the now sadly familiar TV advertiser Kinder Morgan in 2007 for $2.7 billion. By its own account, Fortis Inc. has total assets of approximately $28 billion and fiscal 2014 revenue of $5.4 billion, even after having all of its ownership interest in BEL, an integrated electric utility and distributor in Belize in Central America, expropriated in 2011. The Belizoids seem to have had serious issues with Fortis Inc. Isn’t it a wondrous thing how a simple publicly owned commodity from the ground and once delivered by a public utility as one public service amongst many can be turned into a money machine by corporate capitalism and helpfully accommodating governments? Wonders never cease. Craig McKie Chilliwack

Online: www.chilliwacktimes.com Email: editorial@chilliwacktimes.com Mail: 45951 Trethewey Ave., Chilliwack, B.C. V2P 1K4 Letters must include first and last name, and a daytime phone number. Please remember, brevity is the soul of wit. Wells, Evans and Knight roads have become the new Mission Raceway, with no regard for the fact that these are 50 km/h residential areas. It is quite obvious that fines and points have no impact whatsoever. I think it would be a good idea, if instead of the present penalty system, younger offenders were conscripted into the military for one to two years. Once there, they would be taught the basics of respect and obeying orders which, quite obviously, they were not taught at home or at school. Movies such as the Fast & Furious series, are being fed to the younger generation, who then interpret what they have seen into the culture we see today. Not all new drivers are bad, but there is an increasing trend in unwarranted single-vehicle crashes, where drivers “lose control” of their vehicles, and end up killing/injuring others and then putting pressure on an already overburdened health care system. I would like to hear other suggestions on how to deal with this increasing problem on our roads today. John Garrard Chilliwack

Downtown park needs its pond to be cleaned Editor: The small park behind the Chilliwack Public Library is beautiful; it brings joy to your heart. Watching the ducks and geese also brings joy to your heart. But then you look at the overwhelming mass of water lilies that cover the pond, and you wonder why the City has allowed this to happen. The water must be absolutely toxic. Do some of us wonder what the bottom looks like? Yes, cleaning up the pond and replacing the broken water filter will be expensive. But perhaps there are entities such as the Rotary Club, who would be willing to contribute to its sanitation. The park with its fountain, the pond, the ducks and the geese spells serenity. It’s a little gem in the heart of the old city—let’s not lose it. Roberta Boss Chilliwack

Young drivers have lost all respect for the rules Money could be better Editor: spent on sidewalks This morning, I witnessed a young girl

speeding and overtaking another vehicle westbound on Wells Road, by going over the solid line and with young children being escorted to school on both sides of the road. I think congratulations are in order to driving schools and driving examiners everywhere, for successfully producing a whole generation of self-centred, self-indulgent, law-breaking and disrespectful drivers who have no concept of driving except to do whatever they want.

Forgiven Little (A barnyard story) BY VERN TOMPKE Vineyard Community Church

armer Ted’s barnyard was the sort of farm that you wished you grew up on or lived next to. On his farm lived all the sorts of animals that you would expect to see (being properly outside of city limits of course). Of all Farmer Ted’s animals, perhaps the hardest working of them all was the laying hen known as “Forgiven Little.” Today was not a good day for “Forgiven Little” and she had no one to talk to and get things off her breast. Although Farmer Ted seemed to notice everyone else, for the third time that week he had walked by her without giving her as much as a smile or a greeting. I mean hadn’t she given Farmer Ted 12 eggs these past two weeks—two more than any of the other chickens? Sure, Felicity Hen, next stall over, had laid 13, but she had broken three eggs by her carelessness. Nobody could accuse her, “Forgiven Little,” of being careless. She was sure that Farmer Ted had been quite unhappy when he had had to throw those

three eggs away. Today, however, Farmer Ted had stroked Felicity’s feathers and didn’t even seem to remember those lost eggs. Even worse, Farmer Ted had spent a whole 10 minutes with Penelope the Pig. Yes the same Penelope who always ended up back in the mud hole—even after the rain had washed her clean. I mean falling into the mud was one thing, but deliberately going back was clearly another! I guess once a pig, always a pig. It’s not like you would catch “Forgiven Little” down by the mud hole. Dewey the Duck seemed to always be down there with the pigs and look at how much mud seemed to splash up on him. Somebody needed to talk with Dewey about the company he kept.

While she was at it, why didn’t Farmer Ted deal with Rupert the Rooster? He was such a braggart and a noise maker. She didn’t need Rupert to wake her up. Wasn’t she always up early cleaning her area before Rupert announced noisily that HE was up? Not like SHE had to tell everyone about the early hours she kept! Oh, and what about that independent hen, Free-Range Frida? Twice this week, Farmer Ted had thrown extra grain her way. “Forgiven Little” had it on good authority that Frida liked to spend time behind the horse stall with none other than Rupert the Rooster. Rumour also had it that more than a few eggs Frida had laid had turned into baby chicks!

How was Frida ever going to learn if she kept being rewarded for bad behaviour? Farmer Ted could be so confusing. Look at that mongrel dog Sam who he let follow him around everywhere. There wasn’t one useful thing that mutt did—and licking himself certainly didn’t qualify. At times Sam seems to bark when there was nothing to bark about—surely that deserved a stern talking to by Farmer Ted. Whoever heard of barking just for the sheer joy of it? Despite that, Farmer Ted seemed to always enjoy Sam’s company. Of course Sam lapped it up. Sometimes she wished she could make Farmer Ted see how unfair he was when it came to her and the rest of the farm animals. Maybe she just needed to lay a few more eggs? Yes, that was it. Surely Farmer Ted would reward her—she certainly deserved it!

h e n Mat t Je n s e n stood on stage at the Northern Classic bodybuilding competition in Fort St. John last month, it was like he’d visualized many times in the past. Through the day-to-day grind, training hours at a time, being meticulous about his diet, and focusing on how to use his energy reserves as they inevitably disappear—visualizing himself on stage is what got him through. That effort has paid off for the 23-year-old, earning him a third place in the middleweight bodybuilder category and the prestigious “best poser” for the show. It’s an achievement for the young Chilliwack muscle-sculptor and personal trainer, who said though he’d worked out for a while he only started to take bodybuilding more seriously in the last couple years, shifting from a powerlifting and Strongman competition focus.

Time to seize farming momentum

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

o say Lana Popham is enthusiastic about agriculture is to say the juicy, red strawberries for sale around town right now are “not bad” tasting. Massive understatement. “This iis th the b bestt ti time ffor agriculture, “Thi i lt ” the NDP MLA for Saanich tells me in a phone interview this week. “This is the moment we are waiting for.” This moment, this massive opportunity that Popham sees in farming in British Columbia comes at least in part from bad news elsewhere. B.C. is at the top tip of a drought phenomenon stretchLana Popham ing from California to Washington. And guess where much of our food comes from, almost all of it in the winter? That’s right, south of the border. So now is the time, Popham says, to seize the farming moment in our province, to protect the small slice of arable land we have, and stop pushing the agriculture sector off to the side in a scramble to capitalize on a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) industry with an uncertain future.

Popham P opham h is is the th NDP NDP MLA MLA in SaanSaa aan nich South and the Opposition Spokesperson for Agriculture in Food. It’s a fitting role for the former farmer and co-founder of Barking Dog Vineyard, the first certified organic vineyard on Vancouver Island. She served as the opposition critic for agriculture since she was elected in 2009 and since th has h lamented l t d the th BC Liberal’s Lib l’ then 2001 elimination of a bipartisan committee that addressed agricultural issues. Every legislative session she calls for its reinstatement but last fall she had a new idea: Create the Opposition Standing Committee for Agriculture and Food, which is made up of her, NDP MLAs Raj Chouhan, Robin Austin, Katrine Conroy, Nicholas Simons, and Independent MLA Vicki Huntington who serves as co-chair. The committee will be in Chilliwack on June 15 for the third meeting in a year-long trip around the province to hear presentations from the public on issues affecting agriculture and food in B.C. So far the committee has been to Williams Lake and the Comox Valley. The Chilliwack meeting is almost already booked up with presentations, she says. So what’s her agenda? What gets under her skin? What does she mean when she says the BC Liberal government is not “taking a balanced approach to the creation of agriculture and food policies”? To start with, Popham says there is no transparency in the Ministry of Agriculture’s policy working groups: no public record and the work is done

As the parade of ALR consultants at Chilliwack city hall know all too well, the highest and best use of agriculture land is not farming. It is to sit on your farmland and wait for your ALR removal application to be approved so you can develop houses. “That’s really what has driven the costt up,” P Popham “[We should] h says. “[W h ld] have had a strict approach: ‘There is no way you are going to get that land out for development.’” She emphasizes that the real estate industry is not the enemy, and there is no benefit to making enemies between sectors. We all need to co-operate, although there is undoubtedly pressure to build housing on farmland. “But we have to eat,” Popham says. It’s that central and simple reality— along with the weather calamities we are seeing elsewhere in the world— that is why agriculture needs to have a higher priority, not necessarily here in Chilliwack where it is top of mind, but in Victoria where important decisions are made. ◗ Anyone interested in providing a 10-minute presentation at the Opposition Standing Committee for Agriculture and Food on June 15 can email Popham at lana.popham.mla@leg.bc. ca or call to arrange a time. The meeting runs all day, from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Presentations should be approximately 10 minutes in length, and the meeting will be held at the University of the Fraser Valley Canada Education Park campus, room A2207. 7000843

Q: Is it true you can acheive a soft face lift with the use of cosmetic fillers? Will the results look natural? A: As we age the bones of the face actually soften back as does the fat in the fat pockets of the face. At the same time our skin expands due to the effects of natural aging. In other words the table cloth is now too big for the table. With the Soft Lift™ we combine the smoothing effect of Botox® with the filling effect of Juvederm® fillers.The result is a natural looking lift with no downtime, done is just one treatment.

Jensen has transformed his body from standing five foot five and 110 pounds to a much bulkier 200 pounds over the years. But the change hasn’t only been in his frame. “Physically, I’ve nearly doubled in size,” he said. “But mentally, I’m a calmer, well adjusted and more confident than I’ve ever been.” Helping him surpass the anger issues Jensen had in his younger years, the gym has long been a therapeutic solace of sorts to take out some bottled up aggression. “That soon got replaced with a lot more positive thoughts and I realized fitness could be used to help people, inspire them to be stronger,” he said. “It’s what motivated me to be a personal trainer and eventually compete.” Training himself and others at the Cheam leisure centre keeps him extremely busy, Jensen said. But he admits it’s also hard for him to think of it as a job. “I enjoy it so much and love seeing people grow stronger, mentally and physically,” he added. And helping his clients with training can help keep Jensen accountable for his own physical work, as he said he can’t slack when he’s trying to be a good role model. He hopes to extend that one day by starting his own gym and reaching a wider range of people both in-house and online to help them realize their goals.

Two members paddle a canoe in the river alongside a salmon, which are so vital to the Skwah community. “The river is our highway, the canoes are our cars,” said Skwah councillor and elder Leslie Williams. “We’ve lived off the fish for generations and generations.” The logo is believed to have been designed by Frank “Red” Godfrey Hare (1946-2012), a prolific artist in the Chilliwack community.

An update from the previously youth-designed Squiala logo, the outside was designed by Chief David Jimmie, with an artist commissioned to create the eagle inside. That bird represents strength, wisdom and vision. The image alongside the eagle is to represent Jimmie’s grandmother Theresa with a shawl, as she was a pillar of strength and a major contributor to the community. A two-headed serpent encloses the logo, the eight bear paws (symbols of strength and power) within its body representing Theresa and Sam Jimmie’s seven sons and one more for Sam Jimmie himself. The serpent facing left is looking into the past and the serpent facing right is looking into the future. It was a redesign born out of a need to complement the new direction of business that the band pursued.

What is a false alarm? A false alarm is the activation of an alarm system resulting in the attendance of the RCMP or the Fire Department at the property when there is no apparent or actual evidence to merit such a call. (See Bylaw No. 3747 for a full description.)

Why is the City implementing this bylaw? Starting in September 2015 the City will invoice property owners for false alarms in order to encourage people to reduce false alarms, which cause an unnecessary expense and take RCMP members or fire fighters away from real emergencies.

How can I avoid getting invoiced for a false alarm? Ensure that your security company calls you first in the event of an alarm. Thank you for taking steps today to ensure you minimize false alarms. Please visit chilliwack.com/falsealarm for more information. City of Chilliwack, 8550 Young Rd, Chilliwack, BC Canada V2P 8A4 | 604-792-9311

Chilliwack Cultural Centre

Celebrate summer at Centre

une is here—and it’s officially time to celebrate summer at The Chilliwack Cultural Centre. We’ve been working hard on a stellar line-up of workshops and summer camps for the coming months, and it’s all coming together in a vibrant variety of arts, crafts, and so much more. For adults, we have an amazing collection of one-day workshops. From wirework to glass beads, it’s the perfect way to stay creative this summer without clogging up your schedule. These workshops are longer than our regular class blocks, giving students half a day to really dive into their projects. Play around and experiment with new skills—jewellery making, photography, pottery, and more. Take a look at The Centre’s website to get full details. There’s a little something for everyone. Have an artistic adventure this summer— or at least an artistic afternoon. You will be amazed at all the projects your kids can dive into this summer. Think pottery. Think paint. Think comedy, mime, and more. We have everything from circus acts to magic tricks to ukulele and guitar. It’s the perfect time of year to get creative—and your kids will thank you. Older kids and teenagers can stretch their abilities in a big way with our intensive workshops, including clay, magic, theatre, and guitar. It gives students a chance to explore one artistic realm in depth—to really dig in and see what they can do. With more classes and camps than ever before, make the Chilliwack Cultural Centre your first stop in an artistic summer. There’s always something going on. As always, our open studios are running in full swing. Drop by the Life Drawing Open Studio on Wednesdays between 6:30 and 9:30 p.m. or on Saturdays between 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. We provide a variety of models to sketch in all shapes and sizes. It’s a great way to keep in practice—or to pick up a new skill. You’d be surprised what you can accomplish with pencil and paper in just a few short hours. These non-instructional sessions are the perfect way to explore your artistic leanings at your own pace. It’s only $12 to drop in, or you can pick up a monthly subscription for $40—a steal of a deal. For continuing pottery students and hobbyists, our Clay Open Studio is the perfect way to work on self-directed projects. It’s definitely easier to use one of our potter’s wheels than to try setting one up in { See CENTRE, page A24 }

(Left to right) Matt Janzen, Danielle Warmenhoven, Cait Archer and Casey Por, all individual winners of various awards for their part in Miss Somewhere.

Child of the theatre all grown up

ait Archer grew up in the theatre. Her parents met, married, and raised both her and her brother among the orange vinyl seats and literal green room of the old Chilliwack Arts Centre. In a way, Archer’s love for theatre was inevitable. High school was a whirl of competitive choir, musical theatre, and the founding of Half Past Theatre, a youth company with which she directed and stage managed middle and high school students in four plays between 20082010. That experience led her to UFV’s theatre department, where she finished her degree program in 2013. As part of the UFV Directors Festival that same year, Archer tried her hand at playwriting. She wanted to write the kind of play she would want to direct. The result was a play called Miss Somewhere that she submitted that April. “The play was more well-received than I ever thought possible,” she said. “Everyone who saw it connected deeply with one, if not all three, of the main characters. We had a threeshow run at UFV’s Director’s Festival in 2013, and at least once a month ever since, someone has asked ‘oh, when are you going to do another production of your show?’” Now, two years later, with the sup-

Miss Somewhere, written by Cait Archer, winning awards and getting greater provincial exposure

port and backing of the Chilliwack Players Guild, the revised and expanded production of Miss Somewhere has finally hit the stage. At the recent Fraser Valley Zone Festival, the play won ‘Best Production’ for the Chilliwack Players Guild, ‘Best Director’ to Archer (credit also to her assistant director, Gabriel Kirkley), ‘Best Actress’ (shared) to Geneva Perkins, who plays Allison, ‘Best Actor’ to Matt Janzen, who plays Tony, a discretionary Award for Achievements in Playwriting to Cait Archer, and, perhaps the most prestigious of all, the Backstage Cooperation Award to the Chilliwack Players Guild, awarded by the festival stage manager to the group that acts with the most efficiency, camaraderie, and enthusiasm. Miss Somewhere, as the winner of the festival, will go on to the Sagebrush Theatre in Kamloops for the Theatre BC Mainstage Competition this July. To help with funding, they are presenting their award-winning play at the Langley Playhouse on July 3 and 4. The Langley Playhouse has graciously donated the space to help support these young thespians in their journey to represent the Fraser Valley Zone in provincial competition.

“The play was more well-received than I ever thought possible. Everyone who saw it connected deeply with one, if not all three, of the main characters. We had a three-show run at UFVs Director’s Festival in 2013, and at least once a month ever since, someone has asked ‘oh, when are you going to do another production of your show?’” - Cait Archer Archer’s partner in crime (and more importantly, in theatre), Gabriel Kirkley, is serving as assistant director on this production, though he has dramaturged prior productions of Archer’s plays, and the two have been

creating theatre together in many different capacities since they were 15 and 16 years old. The cast is a group of current and former UFV students, including four of the original cast members, including Archer’s younger brother Liam “in a cameo performance,” Danny Campbell, Cheyenne Douglas-Ruttan, Matt Janzen, Geneva Perkins, and Casey Por. Amanda Thiessen will be performing the role of Nicky for the Mainstage run, while Danielle Warmenhoven, who originated the role, performed at the Fraser Valley Zone Festival. Miss Somewhere is unapologetically modern, a play about finding yourself and losing yourself, and maybe, one day, finding yourself again. It’s about friendship, faith, and other f-words. If you are middle-aged, it will bring you back to a difficult age filled with angst and confusion, but also fond memories. If you are a young adult, you’ll laugh at the raw emotion and truth. ◗ Miss Somewhere is playing July 3 at 7:30 p.m. and July 4 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at the Langley Playhouse, and July 10 at 7 p.m. at the Sagebrush Theatre in Kamloops.

Bakx Maria Johanna

Nov. 21, 1928 - June 4, 2015 Maria (Ria) passed away peacefully with her family at her side at the Waverly Care facility where she had received loving care from the staff during the 5 years she lived there. Born in Steenbergen, Holland, Mom came to Canada in 1953 as a new bride joining her husband Leo on a lifetime adventure, first living in Okanagan Falls and Kitimat, before settling down in Chilliwack to start dairy farming. Like many young women of her generation Mom was a hard worker. She not only had the task of running a household and raising her children, she was dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s partner in every sense of the word helping in the barn, and in the field. When she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working she loved playing cards or games, spending time in her garden, reading or watching sports. After Dad passed away, Mom moved from the farm to a condo in Chilliwack and enjoyed exploring the shops, the library and meeting new people. After a serious fall in 2010, Mom moved to the Waverly where she formed new friendships and was loved and cared for by the staff. Predeceased by her husband Leo, her daughter Jackie and her grand-daughter Jenny, Mom will be missed by her children Leanna (Rob) Peters, Clif (Rose), Sandra Craig and Steve (Lisa), 11 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren. Memorial service to be held at St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church on June 16 at 11:00 a.m., with reception to follow.
