Greg Laychak/TIMES

Earle has been living on the streets for four years. He was orphaned at age 11 and says many of his troubles arise from a life with no family structure. BY DARREN BLAKEBOROUGH Special to the Times

t’s a fair assumption to say that no one stood in front of their Grade 6 class on career day and proudly told their audience that when they grew up they wanted to live on the streets. Yet that is the reality of everyday life for a significant numbers of Canadians. So how does this come to be the struggle that many face? Who are these people with no fixed address? What do they have to do to survive? Is there something that can be done

This is the first in a series of three articles that take a look at the issues surrounding homelessness in our communities, those who are living through it, what is being done and what can be done to understand and combat the situation. about it? All are very good questions, but ones with no easy answers. Rebecca is a female in her 50s who has been homeless “kind of off and on . . . maybe four or five years.” She had been clean and sober for 10 years before one bad decision and, as she puts it, “away I went.” Rebecca justified her habits at first because she could

Her boyfriend was also a user, although he didn’t want her to use and “so the abuse started.” This continued until Rebecca had nothing. “I mean, I always had a little bit of something but not enough to have a house,” she said, laughing. “At that point, you don’t care anymore, right?”

But Rebecca cares now. “I had the pleasure to scrape all the way to the bottom with it,” she said. “So now I wanna dig myself out of there.” She hopes to find some work and an safe, secure apartment. In the meantime, she said standing in the Salvation Army, “the biggest thing I want right now is to have a bath and some pancakes.” An issue that used to be associated with the “big city” is now a concern in virtually every community in North America—and Chilliwack is

n a surprise move Tuesday, city council deferred approval of its 2016 financial plan after feedback from the public led many councillors to reconsider a number of line items. The budget, which includes a 1.89 per cent property tax increase, received introduction and first reading at the Feb. 2 meeting and was slated for approval, as per protocol, at the Feb. 16 meeting after public input. The delay in approving the 2016 budget came in part because of an increased move to consult with taxpayers, the feedback from which was presented just before the vote. For the second year in a row, and after many years of public meeting attendance by a small handful of folks, council chambers was packed with many ready to comment on the budget. A new online feature this year also gathered input from taxpayers about priorities, from which staff said they received 92 responses, most of which was “fairly consistent” with the city’s tax allocations. The annual budget meeting began, as it often does, with resident Brydon Nelmes presenting his unofficial line-by-line citizen audit of the budget, asking for clarifications. Chilliwack secondary teacher Gary Raddysh, too, made his perennial request to reject the budget and

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

s the decades pass, more 100 years in some cases, urban buildings and intersections and locations change immeasurably. Downtown Chilliwack has a rich history, shadows of which can still be seen at Five Corners, along Wellington Avenue, Young Road and elsewhere. Last week Heritage Chilliwack launched its self-guided walking tour brochure to give residents a glimpse into the past right now in the present. The brochure came out in advance of Heritage Week this week (Feb. 15 to 21). “Our overnight guests come wanting to explore the heritage and culture that is found in Chilliwack’s downtown,” Royal Hotel general manager Leonard Wiens said. “This brochure is the kind of thing that our hotel guests have been looking for and will enjoy using, enriching their experience and appreciation of Chilliwack’s history.” It was around 1873 when Five Corners became Chilliwack’s business hub with a church, blacksmith, flour mill and general store. This central and iconic location is the first stop on the tour that takes visitors along Wellington past the shops and the Royal Hotel, up College and around to the top of Mill Street, through Central Community Park and up to Central elementary and back down to the old Chilliwack Fire Hall No. 1, now home to Craven Huston Powers Architects. The self-guided tour brochure put together by the Heritage Chilliwack Society includes the history of the stops along the way, and is available at the Royal Hotel on Wellington, at Cornerstone Custom Picture Framing on Mill Street or at the Tourism Chilliwack visitor centre on Luckakuck Way. A PDF of the brochure can be downloaded at www.tourismchilliwack.com.

“O

nce upon a Time”, the latest art installation from Chilliwack resident and Emily Carr graduate Sylvie Roussel-Janssens, features historical images of Chilliwack incorporated into fabric panels and will be on display in the windows of the Royal Hotel during the month of February. The old fire hall on Main Street, the bandstand at the fair grounds, the Kipp House and The Progress building are a few of the historical images Roussel-Janssens used in the installation. Using acetate, the photos are copied on to the transparent material and together with her unique fabric b u r n i n g t e c hnique allow light to travel through the pieces, further illuminating the images. Roussel-Janssens’s creative Local artist Sylvie combination of Roussel-Janssens historic imagamazing fabric burn- es and visual art ing technique is on help celebrate display at the Royal and promote Hotel during the month Chilliwack’s history and heritage of February. and tie into this year’s Heritage Week (Feb. 15 to 21) theme of “Distinctive Destinations – Experience Historic Places.” Chilliwack’s arts, heritage and cultural activities play an important role in community building, economic development and tourism and the art display demonstrates how history and art come together. “Sylvie’s unique art pieces add interest to our Wellington Street windows and provide our hotel guests as well as locals an opportunity to view images of Chilliwack’s heritage buildings, some of them no longer around”, says Leonard Wiens, general manager of the Royal Hotel.

Popove, Kloot question, then oppose Town Dyke project funding BY PAUL J. HENDERSON Chilliwack Times

he controversial Town Dyke project moved one step closer Tuesday as city council voted to approve $200,000 to pay Urban Systems Ltd. for preliminary engineering services for the project. Couns. Ken Popove and Chris Kloot voted against the decision, while Mayor Sharon Gaetz was absent. The issue among critics of the Town Dyke is that if the route is followed as planned, it not only requires the approval of the Skwah First Nation, but it would then leave much of the Skwah and Shxwha:y Village on the Fraser River side of the dike. “It seems like there is

{ BUDGET, from page A1 } move, instead—despite unavoidable non-discretionary and inflationary increases to things such as RCMP contracts— for a zero per cent tax increase. Long-standing critic of Fraser River diking policy Rene Crawshaw went head-to-head with Mayor Sharon Gaetz on the city’s controversial Town Dyke plan, which he says leaves out three local Sto:lo reserves and may require expropriation of private property, something city staff denies. There were other speakers, too, including 2014 mayoral candidate Cameron Hull asking if city council had considered heritage status for the 1913 two-storey Imperial Theatre building just east of Five Corners. “No,” was Gaetz’s short response, adding that it had not been discussed. But stealing the show by way of commenters on the budget was preteen Lincoln Froese who urged the city to work toward returning the Hope Slough to its former status as river where he and his family could swim as people did many years ago, urging folks to visit his Facebook page, “SOS Save Our Slough.” After the presentations, all councillors spoke favourably of the positive and diverse response from residents, something long missing from these meetings until last year. That’s when two weeks before the public meeting, Coun. Sam Waddington pointed out a long-term budget line item regarding the curling rink replacement, a move that brought out

going to be an overlap of work being done,” Popove said, questioning the money for the consultant, suggesting instead some work may be redundant since the Skwah band hired the same engineer as the city. Kloot wondered if the work should wait given the controversy and that $55 million was announced Tuesday in the provincial budget for emergency preparedness. “Is there an urgency in proceeding with this or can we push this back a few months?” he asked. Coun. Jason Lum said the city had a “very productive” meeting with Skwah, adding there was a commitment to share information. The motion to approve the preliminary design

was passed four to two. Fire depart. incidents up Last year’s wacky weather helped lead to a 26 per cent increase in Chilliwack Fire Department (CFD)

incident responses. T h e l o n g , h o t, d r y summer coupled with the severe windstorm in November, helped push the number of calls for service for the year to 2,687

up from 2,126 in 2014. And that latter number is more typical in recent years. Last year’s number is up 23 per cent over the average of incidents between 2011 and 2014.

Of the total, 448 calls, or just 17 per cent of the total, were for fires. The leading number of calls for service was 912 or 34 per cent of the total for public service (e.g. assist-

ing RCMP, BC Ambulance Service, or dealing with home smoke alarms). Burning complaints made up 11 per cent of calls, and motor vehicle accidents, nine per cent.

Councillors unanimous curlers and others in droves to discuss the budget. “It’s good to hear people come out for the second year in a row,” Waddington said Tuesday. Waddington was also among those who suggested that while the online public feedback was great, it would have been more useful “on the front end” before the long budget process began. Coun. Jason Lum wondered if the addition of two full-time RCMP members was enough given the growing problem of property crime in the city. “I know just adding RCMP officers is not the only solution but is part of an integrated solution we need to look at,” Lum, who is chair of the Public Safety Advisory Committe, said. Lum wondered, too, if it made sense to go ahead with urban trail projects such as the rail trail line over Highway 1 before delineated bike lanes to link up to it were finalized. After responses from Couns. Chuck Stam, Sue Attrill, Ken Popove and Chris Kloot, Waddington moved that council defer adoption of the budget until the March 1 meeting to “have some time to work through” a number of budget line items. All six councillors voted to defer. There will not be a public hearing process at the March 1 meeting, but it is then council will reconsider the budget with any changes made by staff between now and then.

Thieves steal gold medals BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

Team Canada baseball player is seeking the no-questions-asked return of two Pan American Games gold medals stolen out of his pickup truck on Promontory on Saturday night. Kyle Lotzkar of Tsawwassen just moved to Chilliwack in recent days, in part because he’s rehabilitating an injury and his therapist and pitching coach are in town. He’s also attending the University of the Fraser Valley while he heals. The 2007 Cincinnati Red draft pick and his girlfriend, Allison, just moved into a rented house on Kestrel Drive and hadn’t completely unpacked by Saturday evening. It was that night that, among other things, all his baseball gear, his passport and a cheque were stolen out of his truck parked out front, which was, he thinks, accidentally left unlocked because of the moving. But of more sentimental value among the items stolen were the

Return them and no questions asked, says Team Canada pitcher two gold medals Lotzkar won as a pitcher on Team Canada in the 2011 and 2015 Pan Am Games. “That was the biggest accomplishment playing baseball, I think, up until this part of my career,” the 26-year-old said Monday. “They are of really significant value to me and I don’t think they have that much value to whoever took them.” Since the theft, Lotzkar said he and his girlfriend knocked on about 80 doors in the neighbourhood asking people to be on the lookout. And while his arrival in Chilliwack has been disheartening because of the theft, he said everyone whose door they knocked on was very kind and helpful, many relaying similar stories of theft from vehicles. Lotzkar was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in 2007, and played

for various affiliate teams over the years. He played for Team Canada in the 2011 Baseball World Cup, winning the bronze medal, and then the two Pan Am gold medals in 2011 and 2015. The Reds released him in Sept. 24, 2013 and the Texas Rangers signed him on Oct. 23 of that year. He is currently a free agent. And while there were other items stolen in the Feb. 13 theft, Lotzkar is focused on the medals, no questions asked. “I don’t want to see who took them, but I think the biggest thing is we just want the medals back.” ◗ Anyone with information about the theft can contact the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611, file number 2016-5586 or email klotzkar@ gmail.com or call him at 360-3050975.

Drug addiction his downfall BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

man on a drug binge who fled from police in an SUV hitting speeds of more than 130 kilometres per hour (km/h) on a suburban Chilliwack street will be sentenced next week. Kelly Kronebusch faces a raft of charges from Penticton to Chilliwack, culminating in the 2014 incident that saw him crash into two vehicles on Young Road off Brooks Avenue. After the crash, which injured two women, he fled on foot before being arrested by nearly a dozen Mounties, curled up in a ball in the bushes just blocks away on Rowat Avenue. The 39-year-old looked dishevelled at his sentencing hearing in Chilliwack provincial court last week, and appeared to cry briefly as the Crown described the injuries to the two women, which were not life-threatening. “She’s getting better,” Crown counsel Henry Waldock said of one of

Kronebusch’s victims. “She seems to be stoic about it.” Kronebusch faced numerous charges including dangerous driving, flight from a peace officer, failure to stop at the scene of an accident, driving while prohibited and a breach. That’s just from Chilliwack, as he faces numerous other charges from Penticton and Alberta as well. The substantive incident that Kronebusch faces a sentence of between 30 months and 43 months in prison for involved him driving in a borrowed Mercedes SUV on Dec. 4, 2014. Cpl. Lee Dyson of the Chilliwack RCMP attempted to pull Kronebusch over as he drove from Airport Road to Broadway Avenue, then left onto Brooks Avenue that day. As Dyson put his lights on, Kronebusch hit the gas on the suburban street. Very quickly, as per RCMP protocol, the officer pulled over and ended the pursuit. The court saw a dashcam video from the attempted effort to pull the Mercedes over, which clearly nev-

er stopped until it was seen in the distance crashing into vehicles on Young Road. A collision reconstructionist determined, based on the dashcam video and points of reference on Brooks Avenue, that Kronebusch hit 132 km/h on the narrow, vehicle-lined street before smashing into the two women on Young. Kronebusch was banned for driving for life after a 2006 conviction. Once he’s done in B.C., the prolific offender is wanted on nine charges in Alberta. Kronebusch has a history of drug use but said on social media in the summer of 2014 he hoped to turn his life around. In August, he posted on Facebook that he quit smoking “dope” after 20 years and that he was “withdrawing from the manic dopedealer lifestyle.” In court at his sentencing hearing, the court heard that his mental health was in question, and that he may be suicidal. He is scheduled to be sentenced Feb. 25.

ou have to wonder if, back in 2007, while David Shepherd and Travis Price were buying a stack of 50 pink shirts could they have imagined that their bullying protest would spread around the world. Probably not. They were just trying to support a fellow student who was bullied for wearing a pink shirt on the first day of school. But this year, we are celebrating Pink Shirt Day (or Anti-bullying Day, if you prefer) for the ninth year. And it’s five years since the United Nations took a stand and proclaimed May 4 International Anti-Bullying Day. That’s pretty good return for the purchase of a stack of cheap T-shirts. Why do people, especially kids, bully others? There are so many reasons that it would never be possible to find one answer that would fit all situations. What is common, however, is their victims. Bullies have a knack for finding the kids that are unlikely to retaliate. And they choose them because the victim is different—skin colour, nationality, size, hair colour, shape of the nose, you name it—even the colour of shirt you choose to wear. Let’s hope the word continues to spread. Bullying will likely never be wiped out completely, but we can hope to reduce its hold on society, as has been done with the once socially acceptable drinking and driving.

The sad, slow making of a criminal H

er attitude in the prisoner’s box is boastful, disrespectful, rude. An objective observer might think if the judge or the Crown noticed, it might be an aggravating factor at sentencing. She deserves whatever she gets and more, one might argue. But no one in the court really pays attention as the troubled young woman uses an old-fashioned gesture as some of her crimes are read out, blowing on her nails, rubbing them on her shirt to impress her friends in the gallery as if to say: “Check out what I did.” Look only on paper at the acts of those accused of crimes, not at the person, and someone like Amber Court is a menace to society. Seeing her behaviour in court might confirm that feeling. She’s a bad apple who, at the young age of 20, may be just getting started. She nodded deferentially to the court at times on Tuesday, but mostly turned to laugh with friends when a co-accused was mentioned, and when the court was told of her thefts from a tanning salon, and nuts and gift cards from Save-On. Amber could barely contain her playfulness at the whole scene with her friends strewn over seats in the gallery.

PAUL J. HENDERSON @peejayaitch But what is hard to relay, and is for every criminal case, is that there is so much more to the story. The tears of Kelly Kronebusch (story page seven) may garner little sympathy from those who read the story, but go see it firsthand: experience the awkward displays, the strained apologies, and the stammering statements of those in the system. There are no good guys and bad guys. Readers might remember Amber from 2011 when she went missing. The cynical saw an Amber alert for a teen not as a girl truly gone missing, rather a runaway, likely off partying. She was young and pretty in 2011, one might say clean-cut in a photo issued to the media. But her picture was back in the paper four years later, last October in Crimestoppers, with dyed hair flopped to one side, skin scarred, a T-shirt that read: “Trouble Maker.” What a disaster.

But then as happens at sentencing hearings, Amber’s lawyer explained her situation, a sketch of a short life. And the mood shifts from reproach for her crimes and gesturing in court to the mitigating factors in a young life. The reasons if not the excuses, for the behaviour. The court often hears about alcoholism and abuse in the childhood homes of those who later commit crimes. They rarely come from stable homes. But then there is Amber’s story, which leaves one wondering, what chance did she have? Cree by birth, her parents were alcoholic. Her father and grandfather attended residential schools. She was kicked out of a tension-filled home at the age of 11 by the boyfriend of her mother. Then she bounced around the system. She hit the news in late 2011 when the aptly named Amber Alert was issued for her disappearance, one that was later questioned by some. She turned up unharmed in December. Missing again in early 2012 and, again, located safely. Probably out on a bender, right? This week, however, the court heard that in addition to abuse she suffered at home as a pre-teen, Amber was con-

fined and assaulted over an extended period of time by a man. It was here that she became addicted to crystal meth. She then relapsed a couple of years later, turning to heroin, after her baby son died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. This addiction and subsequent trouble got her admitted to the Vision Quest drug treatment facility in the Chilliwack River Valley. But she couldn’t last, bullying a fellow client so badly, staff at the tolerant Vision Quest remarked, “We no longer will work with Amber.” The Crown in the current case could have easily asked for a year in jail, the judge told her, but he only asked for time served at time and a half, about 66 days. There are no excuses in law, but as the court heard, sad reasons why a young woman may have come to this. “You’ve had a really rough time of it haven’t you?” the judge asked. “No one should have gone through what you did as a child.” But she did. Now social workers, probation officers, the justice system and hopefully an as-of-yet unmet positive force in her future can pick up the pieces of a life that is just too young to be shattered.

Urge MP to examine a new way of electing people to gov’t Editor: In the Be Our Guest column (Times, Feb. 11), our MP, Mark Strahl, advocates for a nationwide referendum on the federal government’s proposals for electoral reform. He asked the voters in Chilliwack-Hope to make their opinions known by participating in a petition through his website. While I applaud Mr. Strahl’s attempt to engage the electorate in this riding on this issue he is premature. It is the Canadian democratic way to reach out in this way and is uniquely refreshing to see this coming from him when his record during the Harper years was so insular and distant. I say that he is premature because he and we have not seen the proposed text of the changes and so Canadians, and, particularly the voters in this riding could not at this time come to any conclusions. What Mr. Strahl is attempting is to martial his own and his party’s forces to rally the Conservative base who might feel these electoral changes may not be favourable to them. Why else would he want to go to a petition now without having all the facts to discuss with his riding? An answer may reside in what he says about the current first-past-thepost (FPTP) system and the failed referenda held in other provinces. He goes on to advocate that any changes to the electoral process must only be taken with the consent of Canadians. Let us examine this assertion in the proper context. If the Liberals were to propose that in federal elections all registered voters were required to vote, this would create a system whereby north of 90 per cent of eligible voters would cast ballots. Voters would be able to cast “yea” or “nay” votes or “null” votes. The result would be as close to Mr. Strahl’s idea that all Canadians could weigh in on the issue. Next, consider if voting were mandatory all voters in a riding could vote for the party or individual as they

The candidate with the largest number of first and second votes would be the most representative of the voters in the riding. In the past election 50,312 of the 71,713 eligible voters actually voted. Mr. Strahl received 42.3 per cent of these votes. The other candidates polled collectively 57.7 per cent of the vote. Fifty-two per cent of the voters chose one of the other two main parties with the Liberals polling 33.8 per cent and NDP 18.2 per cent. These voters, because of FPTP, were effectively disenfranchised. Perhaps under the transferrable vote a candidate could be elected who had the support of more voters than the other candidates and he will feel he is more representative of the voters of the whole. Mr. Strahl will tell you that he was elected because he is the best man for Chilliwack-Hope and the majority of those who cast votes think so. In the last election if there had been only one other party contesting the riding would the result be the same? Perhaps it would. If the policies espoused by Mr. Strahl and his party reflected the electorate with all voters required to vote, perhaps not. FPTP is not equitable and fair. The plank of electoral reform was a part of the Liberal campaign and they are within their rights to proceed with it. I would ask that our MP wait until

the process is presented before campaigning against a plan to which he has no official knowledge. Embracing new ideas is sometimes fearful because of the unknown. I urge Mr. Strahl and his supporters to have courage to examine a new way of electing good qualified people to our parliament. These people will have the support of the real majority in this riding and throughout Canada and we will be better served by fair elections by the people for the people. Wayne Underhill Chilliwack

More smaller schools the better for us all Editor: I believe small local schools must continue. A one hour bus ride to a huge school is expensive and unproductive. It is dangerous for both children and driver. There should be a teacher on board providing a variety of education and purpose. In huge schools students move in ethnic, financial and status cliques and in gangs. Bullying has become common and even girls are bullies. I am the well-educated product of a one room school where grades one to 8 were taught and the student population was usually 32. In Grade 1 there were five of us. I was the only one who knew English. After Christmas I was transferred to Grade 2 to keep me occupied. Our teacher constantly gave us assignments to do, while she taught subject matter at another grade level. Naturally we listened in and learned to multi-task. Most of us liked school very much. Western Canada had many thousands of small schools, located six miles apart so that they were within walking distance. Some children had a horse to ride to school. In November each school would start prepar-

ing a Christmas concert consisting of drama, choruses, solos, elocution, dance and drill. Every child had several active parts. It is wrong to reward only the best with a part. These are some of my most memorable enjoyments. Each school chose a different night for their concert in Christmas week and invited families from 12 to 25 miles away to come by sleigh or model T Ford. Every school was multinational, and settlers from many nations became friends. Fathers, mothers and grandparents were active in township governance in road building, repair and maintenance, protection of livestock fences, party line telephone companies, grain elevator companies and the annual agricultural fair. They helped each other harvest their crops. There was also a school fair supported by seeds provided, to make our own 6’ x 12’ garden. We won prizes for best vegetables and flowers and the best garden. There were also prizes for baking, canning, sewing, crafts, art, carpentry and knot-making. Going on to high school meant going five miles or more to a fiveroom school (four with an attic room and a basement, where we tried to speak French, or did chemistry experiments). I went by horse and buggy, a one-hour drive summer and winter. I had a covered sleigh and never missed, taking with me some neighbour children. Many high school children boarded in town in church-run residences, or in private homes. Some did light housekeeping or baby sitting to pay their way. Now I recommend that refugees and our underemployed university graduates all relocate to rural areas to build up roads, schools, a small hospital, furniture factory from wood damaged by pine-beetles, landscaping, composting and terracing of mountain sides and river banks, and production of fruit and vegetables.

What is the sense in letting the underemployed gravitate to ghettoes and gangs in cities that produce nothing? We don’t need sky trains. Our rural population, both indigenous and small farm families, suffer from poor infrastructure, health and education. I do not think church separate schools are the answer. Many poor Christians cannot afford to pay the fees. There are some Christian teachers in our government schools and there should be many more. Separation increases feelings of superiority, instead of sharing and neighbourly love. Myrtle Macdonald Chilliwack

KW’s courage and bravery is inspiring Editor: In my opinion our criminal justice system is much more similiar to sharia law than we would like to let ourselves believe. Victims of “sexual assault,” (rape, when I was growing up), become the target of the defence and no stone is left unturned to discredit the victim. While the accused, in most cases, is made to appear the innocent party. Victims, like KW, should be applauded for their strength to bring these charges before court. After all, less than one per cent of sexual assualt cases ever get a conviction. It is no wonder that many sexual assault victims never continue with charges. KW’s, and other sexual assault victims lives, will never be the same because our system allows for the persuction of the victim. KW, I wish you the utmost success in your goal to become a counsellor. There will be, I’m sure, many clients looking for your sevices. Rick MacLeod Chilliwack

› Faith Today

Do not build on a flawed foundation BY REV. JOHN SOVEREIGN St. Thomas Anglican Church

ast week I preached on Luke 13:1-13. It was about Jesus being tempted in the desert. I said, “The temptations were subtle. They might actually help the world. Turn the stones to bread, feed the multitudes forever, eradicate all hunger, no starvation in Africa. “Submit to temptation and rule the world by power. Cease war by force, police the population, bring security, and bring good to the world. No more drug lords, guerilla movements, racism, genocide, or weapons of war. “Correct religion using dazzling miracles. Draw the eyes of the world to yourself and to God. Make every knee bow to God, because the proof is in the beholding. Unify religious belief in yourself. Make salvation by sight, not faith. “The truth is, temptation promises us a step up instead of a step down. It masquerades as light, not darkness. The devil did not ask Adam and Eve, ‘Do you wish to be devils?’ He asked them, ‘Do you wish to be gods?’ Satan offers Jesus a chance to change the world for good—those deceptive

4:7) Some of our decisions reflect the citizen of heaven we seek to be, and other decisions reflect the citizen of the world we are by nature. (Luke 2:48-50) Citizens of the world do love family and friends. And they want to make the world a better place. But their sights are set on a worldly horizon, as if they alone were in charge. Someone sent me an email this week that said, “Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.” (Josh Billings) Such thinking does not take into account the powerful forces at work in the world, the powers and principalities noted in scripture. Jesus compared Herod’s citizenship to the power of God’s call on his own life. He said to the Pharisees, “Look and see how I act. I will continue to care for the sick and proclaim the coming of God’s kingdom.” He might have added, “No matter how noble your religious cause, how perfect your behaviour, if you are citizens of this world at heart, your goals will always be merely good in your own eyes, not necessarily good in God’s eyes. You will not see and act as I do.” Who lives in you? Say “God lives in me.”

words ‘by force’ and ‘my way’ are hidden in fine print at the bottom of the offer.” This week, I will preach on Luke 13:31-35. “Who lives in us?” is the question. Who guides our decisions? Who sets our course? Who determines our thoughts? Who is revealed to the others around us? With what have we furnished ourselves, and who determines our taste? King Herod would give us his answer, if we asked him. Herod would call himself a man of the world. Paul writes about people like Herod when he says, “. . . their minds are set on earthly things.” (Philippians 3) Who lives in us? I wish the answer could be clear and pure, that God would live in us pure and simple, that every decision, every action, every feeling, every sense could be brought under God’s lord-ship and total command. No matter how we strive to make it so, our experience of victory in the world is mixed. God insists that our personal freedom must be maintained, and so it is that the grace of God is carried around in earthen vessels—to show that the transcendent power belongs to God, and not to us.

Let’s stop bullying B

Speak out and help those being bullied

ullying is a form of aggression that unfolds within a relationship. The teen who bullies uses aggression and control to maintain a position of power over the victim. As bullying evolves over time, the power dynamics and inequality in the relationship become stronger. The victimized teen gets caught in an abusive relationship. This problem can also happen between groups of young people. In schools, bullying occurs in all areas of school. It can occur in nearly any part in or around the school building, though it more often occurs in PE, recess, hallways, bathrooms, on school buses and waiting for buses, classes that require group work and/or after school activities. Bullying in school sometimes consists of a group of students taking advantage of or isolating one student in particular and gaining the loyalty of bystanders who want to avoid becoming the next victim. These bullies taunt and tease their target before physically bullying the target. Targets of bullying in school are often pupils who are considered strange or different by their peers to begin with, making the situation harder for them to deal with. Bullying consists of three basic types of abuse: emotional, verbal and physical. It typically involves subtle methods of coercion such as intimidation.The “imbalance of power” may be social power and/or physical power. The victim of bullying is sometimes referred to as a “target.” Bullying is abusive treatment, the use of force or coercion to affect others, particularly when habitual and involving an

imbalance of power. It may involve verbal harassment, physical assault or coercion and may be directed persistently towards particular victims, perhaps on grounds of race, religion, gender, sexuality or ability. There is a strong link between bullying and suicide or “bullycide”. Bullying leads to many suicides among young people every year although it is hard to determine exact numbers. The basic elements of bullying are: Unequal Power: One person has more power than the other person (or at least it seems that way to the people involved) Hurtful Actions: Physically or psychologically harmful behaviour takes place Direct and Indirect Actions: The behaviour may be face-to-face or behind one’s back Repetitive Behaviour: The hurtful actions keep happening so the person being hurt finds it more and more difficult to escape. If a teen is being bullied, you can suggest: “Stay calm and try not to show you are upset. Try to respond to the person bullying you without anger. Anger can make things worse.” “Look the person in the eye and say you don’t like what they are doing.” “As soon as you can, find an adult you trust and tell the adult what happened. It is your right to be safe.” “Stay close to peers you can count on to stick up for you.” “Stay away from places where you know bullying happens.”

Chiefs clinch home ice advantage for opening round Could still lose Mainland crown to surging Wenatchee

BY GREG LAYCHAK glaychak@chilliwacktimes.com

fter a weekend battling the Island division with mixed results, the Chilliwack Chiefs earned enough points to clinch home ice on the mainland for the first playoff round. But as the Times goes to press, a rapidly climbing Wenatchee Wild was scheduled to come to Chilliwack Wednesday—only two points behind a leading Chiefs team—to play their last matchup of the season for top position. It was a weekend tie against Powell River (4-4) and a loss to Cowichan (3-1) that left the Chiefs

vulnerable to their U.S. rival’s ascent up the Mainland ranks. And had it not been for their 4-1 win in Victoria, the Chiefs would be tied with the Wild who won all three of their weekend series games. Friday In Powe l l R i v e r, t h e Darien Craighead Kings kept Chilliwack off the scoreboard until the third period after a first period goal from their

own Nick Nonis to make it 1-0 for most of the game. With two more Kings goals early in period three, Powell River was up three to none with only 14 minutes on the game clock. But Darien Craighead and defender Rylan Bechtel broke the Chiefs pointless rut, each scoring to bring the game within one point. A Powell River goal from Adam Brubacher made it a 4-2 game with fewer than nine minutes remaining. To make it an exciting final two minutes, Jeremy Germain scored for the Chiefs to make it a one point

match again. And Craighead saved Chilliwack from a loss with his second goal of the game to take things into overtime, where both teams were unable to score. Chiefs goalie Matteo Esposito saved 29 of 33 for his first tie of the season. Moving on to Duncan Saturday, Esposito earned a loss against Craighead’s former team Cowichan Valley when—despite Kale Kane’s first period opening point—the Chiefs weren’t able to match the Capitals’ ensuing three-goal game.

Reece added a Youth Olympic Games (YOG) gold medal to his previous list of proudest achievements—making the Canadian development ski cross team and two golds at the Kimberly Dreadnaught downhill race. The 17-year-old’s latest gold medal moment came in the YOG Lillehammer, Norway ski cross event, when he overtook Belgium’s Xander Vercammen and Louis Muhlen, an Australian who each came in second and third respectively. Reece took a considerable lead for much of the bottom half of the course before his win. “Today was an awesome day,” he told CBC Sports in Lillehammer. “In the big final I was able to get out in front and was able to hold my line. I got bumped coming into the second last turn but managed to get back on it and finish in first. It feels amazing to be the winner here. I’m actually a bit speechless right now. Today was the perfect day.” It’s been a long path for young Reece who started skiing when he was two. His own personal course led him to alpine skiing when he was eight years old. Then, at age 16, he discovered ski cross. “When I was younger I did BMX,” Reece said, tuning skis in his garage before leaving for Norway. “Ski cross came along and it was a cross between the two sports and I thought it was great. It was a good way to get elbow-to-elbow with the other competitors and it brought me back to that competitive nature of BMX on skis.”

WILLS & ESTATES

If you don’t have a will, you’re not alone. According to a 2014 report for BC Notaries, just 55 per cent of British Columbians have a signed, legally valid and up-to-date will. A will is the best way to ensure that the people, charities and organizations you cherish most receive the beneﬁt of your estate. If you die without a will, your estate may not be distributed in the way you would have wished and the costs of administering your estate may also be higher. Having a will helps ensure that important questions for parents – like who will raise your young children if both you and your spouse die – are answered. The cost to have a will written depends on the complexity of your situation. Ask a notary or lawyer for an estimate. If your situation is straightforward, you may be able to write your own will using a kit from Self-Counsel Press. However, obtaining the assistance of a professional is always a good idea.

Dying without a Will

If a person dies without a will, their estate is distributed in accordance with British Columbia’s “intestacy” laws. A person who wishes to administer the estate must apply to a Court in British Columbia to obtain a “Grant of Letters of Administration.” Intestacy laws prescribe that the estate will be distributed as follows, in the listed priority: 1. If there are no children and a spouse, the estate goes to the spouse. 2. If there is no spouse and only children, the estate is divided equally among the children. If a child predeceases the parent, but leaves children (for example, grandchildren of the deceased person), then the grandchildren inherit their parents’ share of the estate. 3. If there is a spouse and children, the spouse is entitled to: (a) the ﬁrst $65,000 (b) a life estate in the home (c) household contents (d) half of the residue if there is one child, or 1/3 of the residue if there is more than one child. The remainder is divided equally among the children. 4. If there is no spouse or children, the estate goes to the parent(s). 5. If there is no spouse, children or parents, then the estate is divided between brothers and sisters. If a brother or sister predeceases but leaves children (the nieces and nephews), then the nieces and nephews inherit their parents’ share of the estate. 6. Alternatively, the estate is divided between nieces and nephews. 7. Alternatively, the estate is divided between the next of kin of equal degree of blood relation.

Having a well drafted and up-to-date Will is essential to having your estate dealt with in a timely, cost effective manner. Contact our Wills and Estates Department to arrange for your documentation to be prepared or updated.

Probate Fees and Other Estate Expenses

There is no “inheritance tax” payable in Canada. However, the estate must pay probate fees if the estate is probated. The probate fees are 1.4 percent of the gross value of the estate. In some circumstances, Property Transfer Tax is payable on the transfer of legal title of the property of a deceased person. All debts of the deceased person must be paid, and no creditor can be given priority treatment to the detriment of other creditors. A ﬁnal income tax return must be prepared and ﬁled, and any taxes owing must be paid. www.angloninfo.com

SENIORS Retirement saving for late bloomers Today’s young professionals hear about the importance of saving for retirement seemingly from the moment they are hired. In addition to discussions with human resources personnel about employer-sponsored retirement plans, young professionals are learning about the importance of saving for retirement thanks to the abundance of financial-planning advertisements on television, the radio and the Internet. Older workers may not have been so lucky, and many may find themselves trying to play catch up as retirement age draws closer. While it’s important to begin saving for retirement as early as possible, late bloomers whose retirement dates are nearing can still take steps to secure their financial futures.

• Pay down debts. Eliminating debt is good for men and women of all ages, but especially so for those nearing retirement. Substantial debt may delay your retirement and can greatly reduce your quality of life during retirement. If you still have substantial debt, eliminate that debt before you start saving additional money for retirement. Once your debt slate has been wiped clean, you can then increase your retirement contributions. • Eliminate unnecessary expenses. If your retirement savings are low (many financial advisors now advise men and women that they will need at least 60 percent of their pre-retirement income each year they are retired), start cutting back on unnecessary expenses and reallocate that money toward retirement saving. Cutting out luxury items, such as vacations to exotic locales or country club memberships, is one way to save money. But don’t overlook the simpler ways to save, such as cancelling your cable subscription or dining at home more often. • Downsize your home. Many empty nesters downsize their homes as retirement nears, and doing so can help you save a substantial amount of money. If the kids no longer live at home or if you simply have more space than you will need after retirement, downsize to a smaller, less expensive home. Monitor the real estate market before you decide to downsize so you can be sure to get the best deal on your current home. Downsizing saves on monthly utility bills, property taxes and a host of additional expenses. Downsizing also means less maintenance, which gives you more time to pursue your hobbies upon retiring. • Take on some additional work. While you may have long felt you would slowly wind down in the years immediately preceding retirement, taking on some additional work outside of your current job is a great way to save more for retirement and perhaps even lay the foundation for a post-retirement career. Workers over the age of 50 can be invaluable resources to start-ups or other businesses looking for executives who have been there, done that. Look for part-time jobs that seek such experience. Even if the initial jobs don’t bowl you over financially, part-time consultant work in retirement can make up for lost retirement savings and may even make your retirement years more fulfilling. Men and women on the verge of retirement can take many steps to grow their retirement savings and make their golden years that much more enjoyable.

Some fraud is organized and orchestrated by a group of individuals, namely, staged accidents and stolen vehicle rings.

Fraudulent claims take a toll on B.C. drivers

While most B.C. drivers are honest when it comes to making insurance claims, there are a few that are hurting things for the rest of us in the province. Industry studies estimate that about 10 to 20 per cent of all insurance claims contain an element of fraud or exaggeration. Applying those estimates here means fraud is costing us up to $600 million per year, or more than $100 annually on every auto insurance policy. Fraud cheats everyone and comes in all shapes and sizes.

Other types of fraud are less obvious. Fraud like this includes exaggerating the extent of an injury, misrepresenting a previous medical condition or slanting the situation when reporting a claim. It’s not unheard of for people to embellish their claim by including vehicle damage unrelated to the crash, or to claim they can’t work when they’re actually back on the job. These tactics may not make the news, but the costs add up and come out of all of our pockets – we all end up paying for those who cheat the system. ICBC combats fraud with their Special Investigation Unit, which last year looked at more than 5,000 claims les. This includes a cyber unit that employs information publicly available on the internet and social media to investigate suspected fraudulent claims. They’re in the process of increasing their focus on investigations, including training and analytics technology that ags patterns and predictors of fraud. By stepping up efforts to reduce fraudulent and exaggerated claims, along with managing injury claims costs, ICBC is working to take pressure off rising insurance rates. Fraud. It cheats us all.

Do you have good hearing but poor comprehension? Do you sometimes feel that you can hear well, but not fully understand what’s being said? This can be most evident in social conversations and watching television. Fortunately, there may be a solution for some people dealing with this type of hearing loss ‑ the Audéo Venture hearing aid has been designed specifically to help improve speech comprehension without being noticeable in the ear. Poor comprehension in conversation can possibly be caused by undetected hearing loss in the high-frequency range. This means the sensory cells in the cochlea that hear high-range sounds are damaged as a result of circulatory disorders, diabetes, sudden hearing loss or workplace noise. Hearing loss in the high frequency range makes speech sound muffled and unclear making it difficult to hear consonants like s, f, t, k, h and g. Speech comprehension is even more challenging when there is background noise or when television programs have background music. The dilemma is that people with hearing loss in the highfrequency range do not consider themselves to have a hearing problem. They can hear deep tones with no issue, and often put difficulty understanding speech down

Ginette van Wijngaarden, from Connect Hearing proudly displays the Audéo Venture hearing aid.

to unclear pronunciation. However, the time soon comes when problems with comprehension become annoying. Phonak Audéo Venture Hearing Aids This past year, Swiss audiologists have developed a hearing aid that can, in qualified candidates, improve speech comprehension for those with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can sign up for a free demonstration of the Audéo Venture hearing aids by calling now to do so. During your appointment, you will be given a hearing test and speech comprehension analysis. If

inner-ear damage is present, a hearing care professional will determine the difference relative to normal hearing. These values are then programmed into the hearing aids, which precisely take into account and balance the frequency range of the person being tested. The demonstration phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role the hearing aid technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The hearing aid recognizes where the person being spoken to is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this can significantly improve speech comprehension, especially in conversation for some clients. Want to find out more about the Audéo Venture hearing aid?

he race for the Mainland Division regular season title is on, and like “Donkey Kong,” it will take the Chiefs to dodge and jump over some obstacles. Heading into this weekend, Chilliwack has six games remaining and Wenatchee has five games left. Both squads have match-ups versus Vernon, Cowichan Valley and Victoria remaining on their schedule. The difference maker in this battle for first from the Chiefs perspective, AKA the main obstacle, might work out to be Chilliwack’s opponent in the first round of the playoffs, the Coquitlam Express. The fellas from the “Train Station”, who are all but locked into fourth place in the Mainland Division, go head-to-head against Chilliwack three times, two of those on the other west side of the Port Mann Bridge. You can check out the Chiefs website page for up to the minute standings and a recap from Wednesday’s big game against the Wild, which was a classic “four pointer.” Chilliwack plays a pair of games this weekend at Prospera Centre.

Cameron nets 18 pts in victory

Chilliwack’s Shayna Cameron racked up a game-high 18 points to go with five assists, four rebounds and four steals Saturday night for the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) women’s basketball team to lead the Cascades to a 60-46 victory over the Thompson Rivers WolfPack at the Envision Athletic Centre. Kayli Sartori chipped in with 14 points on the night, recovering after going scoreless in the opening frame with five turnovers. The win made for a weekend sweep after UFV clawed out a tight 57-56 triumph Friday against the WolfPack, where Sartori posted another 14 points along with seven rebounds, three assists and three steals. UFV (11-7) holds a one-game lead over the UBC Okanagan Heat (10-8) in the Explorer Division’s third and final playoff spot. A win against the Mount Royals Cougars in Calgary next weekend would guarantee their post-season position.

no exception. Over the past couple of years it has received considerable media attention and, frankly has become a significantly visible problem to most who travel through the downtown core. While it is easy to imagine that those living on the streets all meet the same criteria—and many of us are guilty of that simplification—the truth is that the reasons for these current predicaments are incredibly diverse. Studies conducted in 2008 and 2015 for the Chilliwack Research and Planning Council interviewed individuals faced with homelessness. The results demonstrated that while there were multiple factors common to many of these people’s experiences (mental health, addiction or abuse, for example) that each of these individuals had unique stories and paths that brought them to their current place. There are stereotypes associated with the homeless population that,

while based on partial truths are exaggerated and then applied to the entire population. Whether in our television or film representations of homelessness, there exists this image of an unkempt older male who is suffering from mental health issues and alcohol addiction and does what he needs to survive by panhandling and dumpster diving. Of course there are individuals who resemble this image, but it is not the only example of those living on the streets of Chilliwack. To conceive of all homeless persons through this myopic snapshot demeans and marginalizes the experiences and needs of those who do not fit this preconceived criteria. For example, in the 2015 study, 27 individuals were interviewed. Twenty spoke to the researchers on the record and agreed to have their voices recorded, whereas seven individuals wanted to talk but for various reasons did not want to be taped while doing so. Of the 20 who spoke on the record, 12 were male and eight were female. Their ages

Dufflebag Theatre brings The Three Musketeers to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre main stage Feb. 21.

Enjoy a swashbuckling afternoon

obody puts on a kids’ show quite like Dufflebag Theatre—and these fantastic fantasy adventurers are making a swashbuckling return to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on Feb. 21, with their extra-imaginative retelling of The Three Musketeers. You can expect nothing but the ultimate entertainment, excitement, and energy when the folks of Dufflebag take the stage, and with their interactive form of theatre the kids have the chance to become part of the actionpacked, daredevil escapades of these famous heroes—it’s the perfect afternoon of family theatre. With more than 20 years experience bringing well-loved tales to kids across Canada, the ‘Nearly World Famous’ Dufflebag Theatre really knows how to take storytelling to

a whole new and interactive level. Appearing in schools, on stages, and at performance workshops since 1992, these guys have crafted an approach to performance all of their own—creating magical plays from a duffle bag full of props and an audience full of imaginative kids. These super-fun performers start by retelling a classic fairytale—bringing their signature humour and wit into the show—before bringing the audience into the story to go on twists and turns that make every show unique. From singing along to joining the actors on stage, with a Dufflebag The-

atre show the kids get to release their own imaginations and become part of the fairy tale. And what could be more exciting than diving into the daring adventures of The Three Musketeers? And the company’s approach will make The Three Musketeers’ famous cry of “It’s One for All and All for One” the perfect motto for this show, as everybody gets drawn into the enchanting retelling of these swashbucklers’ exploits. Kids will help take the story on an unexpected twist . . . and might even become part of the action, boldly battling the dastardly villains as a famous musketeer. It’s all

ell known director Clint Hames will be directing the Chilliwack Players Guild’s production of The Gin Game. This wonderful Pulitzer Prize winning play will be the Guild’s entry in the Fraser Valley Zone Festival which will be in Langley during the week of May 22. There will also be an opportunity to see the show in the Rotary Hall at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on May 19, 20, and 21. The play features two elderly residents at a nursing home. Through acerbic dialogue over games of gin rummy their characters are revealed, and as director Clint Hames says, “It becomes clear why neither has many friends. Although the play is very dramatic, it features some lovely moments and is sprinkled with tremendously funny interactions.” Auditions will be on Sunday, Feb. 21 at 7 p.m. and Monday, Feb. 22 at 1 p.m. and will take place in the Guildhall at 45530 Spadina Ave.

Youth dances help feed hungry Chilliwack kids C hilliwack’s premiere DJ entertainment company Mint Entertainment, with Sticky’s Candy Downtown, presents ‘Super Sweet Sounds.’ This brand new event will feature a unique community dance party for youth nine to 14, kicking off Feb. 19, with partial proceeds going to support Chilliwack Community Services’ (CCS) Starfish Backpack Program. Super Sweet Sounds will be held every third Friday until May 20 at the Vineyard Community Centre on Wellington Avenue. The downtown venue will be transformed into a dance club with lights, lasers, and the best tunes in the Fraser Valley, all while helping feed hungry kids. An estimated 600 children go to school hungry on Monday mornings in Chilliwack. Many are provided with breakfast, recess snacks and lunch at school. But that requirement for nutritious food doesn’t end when the weekend arrives, so two years ago the Abbotsford Rotary Club created the Starfish Backpack Program. The goal was to address the need within their school district. Since then, the program has grown to five cities, 33 schools, and 441 kids being fed throughout the school year. This year the program will be

Longtime Chilliwack residents and entrepreneurs Cameron and Sara Douglas are owners of Mint Entertainment, and co-owners of Sticky’s Candy Downtown. “As soon as we heard about the Starfish Backpack Program from our community neighbours at CCS, we really wanted to find a way to help sponsor more kids,” Cameron said. “Plus, we have our own son this age now, and we appreciate when we have a safe and trusted activity for him on a Friday evening.” “Super Sweet Sounds” is a youth dance party for kids nine to 14, and 25 per cent of all ticket sales from February to May will go to Chilliwack’s Starfish Backpack Program. Held at the Vineyard Community Centre at 45982 Wellington Avenue, this is a safe, fully supervised event, featuring a live professional DJ, light and laser show, plus a concession. The dances will run from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on the third Friday of every month starting Friday, Feb. 19 until May 20. ◗ Tickets are $5, available at the door, with bag check-in on entry with no in-and-out privileges.

â&#x20AC;ş Showcase

Kane and Potvin at Bozziniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

ozziniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s has added a sixth performance to its busiest live performance month everÂ with the return ofÂ two of Kevin Kane and Bryan Potvin for one performance onlyÂ on Feb. 22. From the mid-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s to the early-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s,Â The Grapes Of WrathÂ andÂ The Northern Pikes were responsible for some of the catchiest and most heart-felt singles and videos to come out of Canada at that time. Fast forward some 20 years later and the vocalist/guitarists from each of these bands find themselves living just blocks away from one another in Toronto. This realization led to Bryan Potvin (The Northern Pikes) and Kevin Kane (The Grapes of Wrath) getting together to hang out with a couple of guitars for some casual jams, and the conclusion: â&#x20AC;&#x153;This sounds good! Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s do some shows!â&#x20AC;? Making their live debut in March of 2014, the two immediately knew they were on to something

Latest CVAA show

Kane & Potvin play Bozziniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Upstairs Lounge Feb. 22. and have kept at it, playing some 40-odd shows across Canada that first year to enthusiastic audiences. The duo even released a self-titled live recording from one of their house concerts in response to the overwhelming number of fans asking for something to take home. In February of 2015, the pair, now officially calling themselves Kane & Potvin, decided to see if that live chemistry would extend to the studio. They booked in some time with Darryl Neudorf (Blue Rodeo, Neko Case, Lindi Ortega, Jill Barber) near Orangeville, Ont.â&#x20AC;&#x201D; coincidentally, the location of Bryan and Kevinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first show together. Completing five songs in as many days, including their first co-write, it was clear the Kane & Potvin chemistry was the real deal. Rather than release the songs as

an EP, they decided to go for the gold and launch a Pledge Music campaign in September of 2015 to raise funds to complete another five songs. Grammy award-winner Peter Moore (Cowboy Junkies, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Oscar Peterson, Diana Krall) mastered the first set of tracks, and has committed to finishing the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like most successful musical collaborations Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had in my life, the working relationship between Kevin and I is rather non-verbal. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk too much about the musicâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;we just kinda play it,â&#x20AC;? said Potvin. â&#x2014;&#x2014; Kevin Kane and Br yan Potv i n p l a y B o z z i n i â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U p s t a i r s Lounge Monday, Feb. 22. Doors open at 6 p.m., show at 8 p.m. Tickets $25 at Bozziniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or call 604792-0744 to reserve by phone.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;T

ransitionâ&#x20AC;? is the theme chosen by the members of the CVAA for their first show of the 2016 season at the Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor Group Art Gallery at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. It is a theme which is very appropriate for the changing of the seasons at this time of the year, with the hope of a not too distant spring raising everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spirits. The word â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Transitionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; has many meanings in the dictionary, which artists can apply to their work, in whatever media. â&#x2014;&#x2014; An opening reception will be held Feb. 20 from 1 to 3 p.m. The show runs until March 26 at the Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor Group Art Gallery.
