Sardis secondary students Esther Kim, Tyler Stobbe and Nadia van den Berg attended a provincial conference Monday to talk about a School District No. 33 pilot program that has allowed them to get school work experience credits while learning to help peers with grief and loss.

Teens tackle tough topic

BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

A

unique partnership between the Chilliwack school district and the Chilliwack Hospice Society has sparked provincewide interest.

Last fall, the school district’s work experience department launched a pilot program with the Hospice Society that saw 15 local high school students get hospice training to help them support peers experiencing grief and loss.

This week, three of those students (Sardis secondary’s Esther Kim, Nadia van den Berg and Tyler Stobbe) and Hospice edu-

cation co-ordinator Colleen Rush got an enthusiastic reception at the B.C. Hospice Palliative Care Association’s (BCHPCA) annual conference.

“It was fantastic,” Rush said.

“We had a great turnout, and the kids were fabulous.”

Nearly half of the conference’s 200-plus attendees from around the province signed up for the Chilliwack delegation’s workshop, which ended with the students forming a panel to answer questions about their experience.

One attendee told the students her hope for hospice was renewed seeing teens involved.

“It was really cool,” Kim said.

The program, which included a chance to work with the Chilliwack Hospice’s children’s grief group after the 10 weeks of training, filled a dual need.

For the school district’s work experience department, it provided a rare opportunity for kids to get meaningful hands-on training and experience in the human services field.

“Inherently those kinds of careers are riddled with confidentiality issues and privacy concerns,” School District No. 33 work experience co-ordinator Chris Reitsma told the Times last fall, “so having a high school student tag along is often not an option,” Many of the students who signed up for the program plan to pursue careers in the human services, and they said the training they’ve gotten will be useful.

Van den Berg, for example, wants to be a doctor.

axpayer funding for Party in the Park has more than tripled in three years after city council approved a Downtown Business Improvement Association (BIA) request at Tuesday’s meeting.

And while BIA representatives came to city hall hat in hand with an armful of excuses, they left with cash they might have to find elsewhere for 2014.

The BIA received $5,000 in city funding in 2011 for the popular, eight-week event held every Friday night throughout the summer at Central Community Park. That rose to $7,000 last year.

This year, the BIA asked for close to $16,000 to cover possible revenue shortfalls.

“The amount that is asked for is very high, and I will tell you, these are the things that make the Canadian Taxpayers Federation and the Canadian Federation of Indepenent Business salivate at government spending,” Mayor Sharon Gaetz said.

All of council lauded the BIA for the popular event that attracted an estimated 30,000 people in 2012, but Couns.

Sue Attrill and Stewart McLean both questioned the skyrocketing budget for stage entertainment that has seen less and less local content over the years.

“I think they would see a great amount of value if they focused a little bit more on local talent and tried to keep the budget down that way,” Attrill said.

“Reaching out to bring in entertainers from outside of our community is increasing, and I think the real focus of the Party in the Park was that it was focused on our local community,” McLean said.

BIA executive director Kathy Funk told Gaetz in an email after the meeting

Before his election win on May 2, 2011, Strahl had already spent years immersed in federal politics, both professionally in Ottawa and personally at home with father, Chuck, who served the local riding for nearly two decades.

Mark started as an intern in Ottawa in Preston Manning’s office. His last job before he earned the nomination to run for the Conservatives was executive assistant to MP Randy Kamp.

The now-35-year-old Strahl is the chair of the B.C./Yukon Conservative Caucus and sits on the Standing Committee on National Defence.

Strahl: At the midway point of a majority government there is a natural lull. Your first wave of campaign commitments [are done in the first two years] and you’re kind of gearing up for the last two before an election.

It’s a long time between now and the next election. If you asked people in B.C. what they thought was going to happen a month ago . . . a week is a long time in politics and two year is a really long time.

Times: Do you get any ongoing backlash about the omnibus bills? I spoke with UFV political scientist Hamish Telford who says bills C-38 and C-45 violate Parliamentary procedure.

Strahl: Well he’s wrong about that.

Those cases were made in the House of Commons to the speaker and the speaker ruled based on precedent.

We felt it was necessary in the face of an economic crisis to be comprehensive in our response so we responded with budgets that were very wide-ranging and addressed a number of economic issues and some of them might have fallen outside of the traditional finance department purview.

I would disagree with the learned professor there. I appreciate his perspective, but those very arguments were raised in the House as points of privilege and were considered and ruled on by the speaker. There is no violation there. You can argue the political wisdom of it, you can argue whether it is a good thing for democracy. You can argue all those things but you can’t really argue if it is unconstitutional in my view. ◗ Visit www.chilliwacktimes.com for more questions and longer answers.

Rotary Clubs save Christmas parade

POLICE SLINGSHOT STUPIDITY

Event back on for 2013

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

hilliwack’s Rotar y clubs have stepped up to save the onagain, off-again downtown Christmas Parade.

“You really have made a lot of children and families happy in the City of Chilliwack,” Mayor Sharon Gaetz said to representatives of three local Rotary clubs at Tuesday’s meeting of city council.

Before he was on council, it was then-Downtown B u s i n e s s Im p r ov e m e n t Association (BIA) president Ken Popove who told city hall in May 2011 that after 12 years, the BIA would no longer co-ordinate the December event.

Four weeks later, Star FM stepped up to save the 2011 parade with i n c re a s e d f u n d i n g a n d a request that the radio station and the city be re c o g n i z e d a s t h e s o l e sponsors.

But after one year, Star FM was out.

Killer’s faint hope soon up to a jury

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

The station spent $8,000 in cash and in-kind services in addition to bringing out most of their staff on event day, something they decided was too much.

At the May 1, 2012 meeting of city council, staff w a s d i re c t e d t o i s s u e a request for proposals for the 2012 parade.

Cue the crickets. No one stepped forward.

S o, f o r 2 0 1 2 , c o u n c i l agreed to direct the $7,000 it usually paid to the BIA, then Star FM, for the parade, to be directed to the BIA’s “winter festivities” downtown.

But all along the city was pursuing a saviour for the popular event.

Early this year they got t h re e w h e n t h e Ro t a r y clubs expressed an interest in jointly hosting the 2013 Christmas Parade. They will do just that with a $9,000 contribution from the city.

“It’s g re a t t o s e e t h a t Rotary is stepping up and taking on the challenge and we wish them well,” Coun. Ken Huttema said.

he jury that will decide whether Allan Crawshaw should become eligible for parole in the next five years began hearing evidence Wednesday.

Crawshaw’s lawyer, Donna Turko, said her client “was suffering from paranoid thinking,” when he brought a gun and explosives to his workplace and shot his boss, Trevor Newberry, in May of 1993.

Crawshaw was convicted of first degree murder and handed an automatic life sentence with no parole eligibility for 25 years.

Under the so-called “faint hope clause,” which has since been repealed but is still in place for those convicted of a crime that occurred before 2011, Crawshaw may apply after 15 years to have his parole eligibility sped up.

Turko told the jury she plans to call witnesses who will speak to the ability of the parole system to reintegrate an offender like Crawshaw back into the community.

speak, Turko told the jurors.

She said he is “very frank about the way he thinks.”

“He will sometimes let you in on some thinking patterns that will sometimes make you wonder how can we be careful with him, how are we going to make sure he’s good in the community,” she said. “We will have five experts coming to tell you how that kind of thinking is monitored and . . . you will hear that all these doctors think he can be returned to the community.”

The five-man, seven-woman jury must unanimously decide whether Crawshaw should be eligible for parole before serving 25 years in jail. If they do, they will be asked to decide whether he becomes immediately eligible for parole, or to set a date in the future.

In whichever case, the Parole Board of Canada will decide whether or not Crawshaw is granted parole, and in what form.

The jury can also decline to allow Crawshaw to apply for parole before his 25 years are up. The hearing is expected to take 12 days.

Undoubtedly, one of your priorities is extending your good health into the next phase of your life. With heart attacks and strokes now the leading cause of death in Canada, how can you minimize your risk as you reach the age most commonly affected by cardiovascular disease?

Diet, physical activity, genetic history and lifestyle factors such as stress, have a major impact on an individual’s risk for heart or circulatory conditions.

Eating healthy is crucial. In addition to a well-balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables and fibres, it is important to get enough “good fats” (HDL – high density lipids) and to reduce intake of “bad fats” (LDL – low density lipids).

The belief that people who get sufficient amounts of Omega-3 fatty acids (good fats) in their diets and are less susceptible to heart problems is proven by over 3000 studies including...

• A long-standing study showed consuming fish oil resulted in a 30% decrease in the risk of cardiovascular death, and a 45% decrease overall in the risk of sudden death.

• If you have already suffered from heart problems, you’ll be glad to know a 1996 study showed fish oil reduced the risk of a second heart attack.

• Additional studies showed significant reductions in triglyceride and LDL (low density lipid) cholesterol levels when taking fish oil.

The American Heart Association recommends (0.9g of EPA and DHA per day) of fish oil for the prevention and treatment of heart disease.

Adding a quality fish oil supplement to your diet makes sense to minimize your health risks. At Sardis Health, we recommend Omega-First. It’s an excellent quality fish oil that has everything you need for good health.

A community garden at the old Paramount site?

City to consider vacant lots downtown for growing food

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

N

ow that the Paramount Theatre has been reduced to rubble and swept away, imagine a series of containers growing tomatoes, broccoli and artichokes on the downtown Yale Road lot that was home to the iconic Chilliwack cinema.

That might not be as farfetched as it sounds as city council discussed community gardens on vacant downtown properties at Tuesday’s meeting.

The presentation on community gardens by Carolyn Marleau of the Parks, Recreation and Culture department was spurred by recent individuals and stakeholders approaching the city to create a new community garden.

A community garden is a single piece of land gardened by a group of people.

There are community gardens at Gwynne Vaughan

Park on Fairfield Island and the Mathieson Centre in Sardis.

Community gardens are usually managed by a society or a co-operative, which involves volunteers, and then members pay a fee to garden plots.

Marleau told council community gardens increase a sense of ownership and stewardship. They can also be focal points for community organizations, reduce crime, provide access to nutritional food among low income individuals and simply heighten awareness and appreciation for living things.

She told council the concept was there, the enthusiasm was there and the only stumbling blocks were establishing a location and working out how it would be managed.

As to locations, Coun. Ken Huttema received some surprised reaction last year when he suggested the Para-

mount site would be a good spot for garden boxes.

“Perhaps we could attract the farmers’ market to [the Paramount site] . . . or portable vegetable gardens to possibly be put on that site,” Huttema said at the Aug. 21, 2012 meeting when council decided to have the theatre demolished.

“I remember when Coun.

Huttema said gardens in the downtown and everybody went ‘what?’” Gaetz said Tuesday.

The mayor added that while attending the Federation of Canadian Municipalities conference this past week in Vancouver she walked by four or five community gardens in the downtown city core.

Coun. Jason Lum wondered if it was a good idea to put time and effort into establishing a community garden on a vacant lot downtown that then might later have to move if a developer moved in.

But Huttema said the idea was to build portable gardens that were intended to be temporary and eventually moved.

Police investigate after vacant home torched

F

ire officials say arson is to blame for a large Schweyey Road fire Tuesday evening.

The house was vacant at the time of the fire and may have been slated for demolition, assistant fire chief Ian Josephson said.

Firefighters arrived around 9 p.m. but were unable to stop the home from being consumed.

Josephson said the house was close to the site of a suspicious workshop fire that took place earlier this spring.

He said arson is always a concern, whether it occurs in an unoccupied and derelict house or not.

“Somebody can get hurt,” he said. “There are firefighters who are responding [and] it’s a safety concern for us.”

Mounties are investigating.

Anyone with information on the fire is asked to contact the Chilliwack RCMP at 604792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS(8477).

News BIA, from page 1 that early on, community musicians “were willing to play for free and are asking to be paid now.”

The entire budget for Party in the Park in 2012 was $79,152.85. Of that, $18,743.94 went to musicians performing on stage.

The proposed budget for this year is $96,080, which includes a $6,000 increase to $24,550 for stage performers.

In a May 16 letter to the city, Lois Chadburn of the BIA asked the city for the increase in taxpayer dollars.

Chadburn both bragged about the event’s success but said that due to economic hardships, sponsors have been reluctant to commit.

“The fact that this event has been so positively embraced by the community motivates us to put on the best possible event despite

Park came as a surprise to some of council.

Both the mayor and Coun.

Chuck Stam pointed out that there are many other events held in the city that don’t ask for taxpayer handouts.

“Flightfest has much of the same kind of attendance but have never applied for any kind of funding,” Gaetz said.

“With that kind of attendance, collecting money from businesses should be a fairly easy task,” Stam said. “I would encourage the BIA [to get] off taxpayer support.”

St a m m e n t i o n e d t h i s weekend’s Ryder Lake Ramble as an example of one of the many “incredible events at no expense to the taxpayers of the city.”

While Gaetz and all four of the present councillors were reluctant—Couns. Ken Huttema and Ken Popove stepped out due to a possible conflict of interest—the funding increase was unanimously approved for 2013.

Vedder middle school held its annual sports day last Thursday for special needs students from around Chilliwack. The school invites kids from all over the city to take in a day filled with fun events and activities.

HOSPICE, from page 1 have to tell them, ‘Hey, this is it. You have a terminal disease.’ If I want to go into med school, then I will need to be able to deal with things like that.”

Stobbe, meanwhile, wants to be a psychologist or counsellor.

But he and his fellow students, who came to the course from Sardis, Chilliwack secondary and G.W. Graham, said the 10 weeks of training have already proven useful with peers and in their own personal lives.

“It just teaches you how to get over things and move forward and that the stages you are going through are natural,” Stobbe said.

“It’s not like you’re the only person. And once you learn that, you can tell other people. It’s kind of liberating like that.”

Kim agrees.

“One of the main reasons that I took this training was because I would like to be a help to those that are grieving because I never know what to say, I never know what was going to actually help them,” she said.

“I thought if we can get educated from this training then we can all share the education.”

It’s the students’ desire to spread the word that really had attendees at Monday’s con-

‘Pretty unique and kind of cutting edge’ ference excited about the Chilliwack pilot program, according to Rush.

Many hospice organizations struggle to make people—especially youth—aware of the bereavement programs they provide, she said, because community members usually think of hospice only when they or a family member are facing an end-of-life situation.

Rush thinks the partnership with the school district could help change that.

“It is a way to connect with younger people,” Rush said.

Since being interviewed on CBC Radio some months ago, Both Rush and Reitsma have gotten calls from hospice organizations and school districts around the province expressing interest in the model. Interest among students here is taking root as well, with some already signing up for the program next fall.

“It’s pretty new and it’s pretty unique and kind of cutting edge,” Reitsma said, “and to my knowledge no other districts, at least in our region, are doing anything like this.”

Family planning, for education

T

o o m a n y c h i l d re n a re penalized in our school system because parents do not conduct adequate family planning. Since our schools will not change, parents should re-think when they have children.

Many people are aware that birth month is an important factor in sports. In the NHL, about 40 per cent were born in the January-March period, and less than 10 per cent in the OctoberDecember period.

Earlier-born players are bigger, faster and stronger, which helps them to be placed in higher level tiers or leagues. There they benefit from stiffer competition and better coaching, which combine to accelerate their progress.

In school, children born earlier in the registration period are more mature and ready to learn. This advantage is well known but little is known about its significance.

In Grade 3 testing for a school system with a January to December registration window, test scores are highest for children born in January and decline every month through to December.

By the end of Grade 9, failure rates are relatively consistent at around eight per cent for January to May birthdays but rise to 22 per cent in December.

An American study reported students born in the youngest group in their class were under represented in university by 12 per cent. A British study found

JIM DUECK

Be Our Guest that success in Grade 1 reading was strongly correlated with earnings at age 37.

As a school principal I tracked the academic performance of each student and quickly learned that birth month was a critical factor for most students struggling in their learning. A school psychologist related that his entire career was centred on working with children born in September through December.

Prairie farmers smile when they hear this information.

They plan animal pregnancies ensuring that cattle, horses and bison are born in early spring so that they are ready to survive the next winter.

Parents with children born in the first part of the year often “burst their buttons” in self-congratulations when they hear this information. Alas, their children become victims in this unfair situation perpetrated by our school system.

Studies show that “high fliers” are being grounded by the school’s preoccupation with weak students.

Educators feel a moral imperative to help weak students suc-

ceed. Much effort and resources go into assisting younger students to help them keep pace with their more mature peers.

Schools tend to “level” student achievement by focusing on the lowest-achieving students and ignoring—or, worse, driving resources away from—our strongest students.

The school system disadvantages children by its use of a 12month registration window. Many born in the latter half cannot keep up, while those born in the first half are subjected to a “glass ceiling” that holds them back.

In the way that we organize our school system, there are more losers than winners. We like to say that our children are the country’s most valuable resource, but we do not organize for it.

Finland, the world’s highest scoring country on international assessments uses a different strategy. By age 15, Finns have clocked just 5,400 hours in school while Canadian children have 8,700 hours.

In Finland, Grade 1 does not begin until age seven when more children are sufficiently mature for learning. Less can be more!

Our society is not geared to their model because working parents need their children in free supervision. ◗ Jim Dueck is a former Abbotsford school superintendent, former assistant deputy minister in Alberta and an author.

s changing global climates and trade deals swirl around us, we hear more and more talk about food security.

But what does that really mean? We’re not talking about armed guards at the grocery stores—not yet, anyway—but more of long-term, planned strategy to keep ourselves fed.

It’s about making sure that we all in the Fraser Valley and around the planet have enough to eat.

Included in the realm of food security, we should also include farmer security, biodiversity security, soil security, and even consumer awareness security.

After all it’s important to remember that agriculture touches every one of our lives—we all eat. Every bite of food that goes into our mouths came from some farm, somewhere—now that’s food for thought.

We live in a breadbasket of sorts here in the Fraser Valley, but as we become more urbanized, we seem to take our bounty for granted. Despite our very basic need to grow food, developers, even city councils, happily pave over arable land.

Farmers still earn a fraction of what middlemen earn for their products. Not surprisingly, young people don’t want to farm.

But agriculture has its champions, and we are among them. Farming provides this community with an estimated $1.8 billion, and more than 11,000 jobs.

The growing of food is being rediscovered. There are wait lists for local community gardens. Teachers eagerly till schoolyards to give students a hands-on lesson that carrots come from the soil, not a grocery shelf. Locavores trek to nearby farms and markets to get fresh goods straight from growers.

But the heavy work is still done by farmers—and their efforts are enjoyed by us every single day.

So to all our local growers—thanks for the meal.

of, of people who become involved in scandals. As the public has become aware, the list is growing and includes convicted fraudsters in his office (no RCMP clearance?), the cheating senators, etc., etc. Most notably in my mind is Arthur Porter, who is now apprehended and going to fight his extradition lawyered up by a former ambassador who was convicted in his involvement with General Noriega and heavy narcotics in the past. Facing charges in the huge Quebec hospital scandal is serious business, however, I find it alarming that he was also the head of the monitoring group overseeing CSIS. Further questionable judgment on his part is his hosting disgraced Toronto Mayor Rob Ford to a ninehour fishing trip at the PM’s summer residence. (Oh, to have been a fly in their proximity.)

With his record of poor judgment of people, it concerns me that his obsession with moving Alberta crude to China who, in turn, will provide North Korea with same is most disturbing, that regime threatening to take out the U.S. West Coast and ultimately involve us.

Poor judgment of people and poor judgment of situations as well. $12 million plus to “rent” two pandas for 10 years to a country that is hacking into our military and the Americans’ (mostly) assets which we also have is not a good deal.

Harper is not electable and the party will have to replace him. I anticipate that he will be gone within the next 10 months (but never forgotten) to complete

EFI report was misleading Editor: I am writing a letter in regards to the recent board of education decision to vote against a motion that would have seen Chilliwack no longer be the largest school district in B.C. without an early French immersion (EFI) program.

My wife and I were at the meeting May 14 and what we witnessed was disheartening. We have put in countless hours working to show the school district what they have asked of us all along, to show that enough parents are out there to sustain an EFI program and to build a group of parents committed to the long-term success of such a program. We have created a list of children that would almost fill each EFI class over the next four years and we have created a network of parents that are committed to building such a program by reviving a dormant Canadian Parents for French branch in Chilliwack.

Throughout the process we have trusted the school district and trusted the process. On May 14 that trust was broken. What Superintendent Evelyn Novak presented was nothing short of misleading, from inflating costs and failing to disclose teaching positions already held on the current LFI/FSL budget, to leaving out federal funding and laying out three terrible options, two of which (Rosedale and A.D. Rundle) were complete nonstarters.

We feel her report to the

trustees was unfair and misleading.

We are simply asking the district to take the funds that they receive for the education of our children and put it towards a program that will attract people to, rather than subtract people from, our community.

As for my wife and I, where we decide to send our three children for their education still is up in the air. All options are open. We need to trust the educators and that starts at the top. If our district administration is unable to put forth a fair and truthful report, then why should we trust the same district to educate our children? As parents we teach our children to be truthful, fair and honest.

Can we really trust their education to a district that looks past those qualities?

At the last school board meeting when Trustee Silvia Dyck introduced a motion that would see funding become available for EFI (without any cuts to other programs), there was a glimmer of hope that the lost trust could be restored. If the next motion to implement EFI is again defeated, then the fight is not over. If the motion is passed, then our work has just begun. It’s time to get to work on EFI in Chilliwack.

Please come and show your support for EFI at the June 11 school board meeting.

The challenge of your life Editor: Perhaps the title of this letter should be used in place of the city’s present “Take The Challenge Bike, Bus or Carpool.” I say this as one of the regular cyclists who navigate the windy and hilly Promontory Road to work and home.

Like me, I’m sure the other cyclists who travel this route are thankful for the white barriers that remind drivers of the presence of the designated bike lane on the inside corner of this section of Promontory Road. The wear and tear showing on these barriers have probably saved a cyclist or two from equal or more serious wear and tear.

Editor: I write in response to Mr. Harrington’s letter published May 30. There were several points in your letter that were simply untrue.

In the broader picture, it’s one thing to be upset with the provincial campaign in which the BC Liberals pointed out the terrible ’90s, Dix’s suspect track record and platform and, with regards to Cuba, the NDP’s Jagrup Brar’s apparent affection for the politics of the communist state. I get it—the truth hurts.

Mr. Dix had nothing to counter this, or chose not to. Two and a half weeks post-election, the wounds still smart.

British Columbians made a clear choice to support free enterprise and economic progress, rather than the party that would increase the size of Big Labour-friendly government.

It’s quite another thing, however, to suggest that local BC Liberals were behind the defacing of NDP election signs. Those kinds of election tactics are amateur, and I state unequivocally that no person involved with the Chilliwack or ChilliwackHope Throness or Martin campaigns was responsible for any opponent sign damage. In fact, we had many of our signs vandalized in locations where NDP and Conservative signs were not disrupted, in both the most recent election and byelection as well. In our observation, we just fixed our vandalized signs faster.

With regards to the signs on Evans, if they were in the field or any distance off the sidewalk, as I’d seen, that would be on private property.

Was that taken into consideration? Did anyone ask before installing them?

Stop with the sour grapes and playing the blame-game.

Try instead to figure out why B.C. rejected the NDP’s platform and start regrouping for 2017.

Faith Today

BY EVANS HUNDERMARK Mountain View Church

I

met a guy the other day named Jesus. He is Mexican, and a friendly man, but no connection to the historical figure—not mythical, but historical figure. Jesus Christ remains the most debated and controversial figure in human history, and the question most often asked, is “How do I know if Jesus really existed?”

There’s no grave marking His final resting place, no evidence of bodily remains and no writings by Him; people die for Him, and millions are devoted to following Him. Let me share three pieces of evidence to the existence of Jesus.

Firstly, there are historical records.

Of the many records by ancient historians, two of these come from men who were not followers of Jesus, yet were both perplexed by Jesus and His

Growing deep Reaching wide

I once met a guy named Jesus . . . followers. The first, Julius Africanus (200 AD), quotes an earlier historian, Thallus, who wrote about the Crucifixion. He said “On the whole world there pressed a most fearful darkness; and the rocks were rent by an earthquake, and many places in Judea and other districts were thrown down.” Thallus had obviously witnessed a major event that he thought was important enough to record.

Neither an earthquake, nor eclipses were that surprising, but the fact that both occurred during the Crucifixion of Jesus, coupled with everything else on that fateful day, convinced Thallus to record the details.

A second record, a letter to the Roman EmperorTrajan by Pliny the Younger (61-113 AD), a lawyer and magistrate in Rome, describes Jesus’s

The second set of evidence comes from eyewitnesses to the impact Jesus has had on people’s lives. During His time, thousands of people encountered Jesus and His miracles, and over 500 witnessed Him after His resurrection. Those who encountered Him either had their lives transformed, or have stood perplexed at the effect Jesus has on others. Even Napoleon Bonaparte wondered

the hope I discovered was instant, and lasting! I am not the only one. In the churches of our city are hundreds of other lives that have experienced the same transforming power of Jesus. Hear His invitation to you “Come all who are weak and heavy burdened, and I will give you rest.”

Jesus really did exist, not only as man, but was and is God. He still lives, and is still changing lives today.

Many may turn their backs on Him, reject Him and call His existence false, but for everyone who chooses to believe in Him, there is the chance to experience His love, forgiveness and the promise of Hope firsthand.

Why would we fight that in the broken world we live in? Call on Him today, and see for yourself that Jesus is real, and He loves you in the most amazing way! ◗ Evans Hundermark is a pastor with Mountain View Church.

about this, during a conversation where he remarked “Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and myself have founded great empires. But our empires were founded on force. Jesus alone founded His empire on love, and to this day millions would die for Him. I think I understand something of human nature, and I tell you, all these were men, and I am a man.

Jesus Christ was more than man.”

My final evidence is first-hand experience. An opponent may seek to destroy the above arguments, but cannot negate a personal experience with Jesus. My life stands as a testament to the transforming power of Jesus. I was once bound by alcohol, lost in depression, and pursuing a life of self-destruction. That was almost 30 years ago.

Grizzlies get rugby boost

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

T

he coach of G.W. Graham’s new varsity football team is breathing a little easier this week as his squad prepares to play its first exhibition game Friday.

Three weeks into the team’s spring camp, the Grizzlies received a muchneeded boost Monday with the addition of several rugby players whose season had just recently come to an end.

Grizzlies coach Laurie Smith said the athleticism and speed of those rugby players immediately shone through and improved the team, which is set to play a spring exhibition game this Friday at Townsend Park.

“My goodness, it looked good,” he said.

Last year, the Grizzlies’ brand new football program didn’t include a varsity team. That means there’s a lot of learning to be done before the season kicks off for real in the fall.

Of the 42 players on the

roster, just 13 have played football before. (Many of those players suited up for the Grizzlies’ junior varsity team last year.) The number of new players means a renewed focus on fundamentals like tackling, blocking and defensive positioning.

“We’re stripping it down,” Smith said. “It’s bare bones.”

But the addition of the rugby players will strengthen the defensive line and provide a new level of speed.

“It’s just going to depend on how quickly they can learn,” Smith said.

Those additions will be crucial to the Grizzlies chances Friday when they take on Mission secondary, who sent both their varsity and junior varsity teams to the provincial final last year.

“Mission’s a good benchmark,” Smith said.

Offensively, the varsity team can look to experience behind centre. Quarterback Josh Pretty, running back Conner Herrman and

A junior varsity player last year, Diego Pineda will suit up for G.W. Graham’s first varsity team this Friday. receiver Jake Creasey will be key to the team’s success. All three are seniors who have played football for the Chilliwack Giants.

And while a broken hand sustained while playing rugby will keep Creasey from the field this weekend, he is expected to return in the fall, Smith said. (On Wednesday, Creasey was named to the Team BC U18 cut-down roster.)

Overall, there’s a palpable excitement among the players to get in their first real game this weekend.

“They’re pretty excited, especially some of the guys that are new to football,” Smith said. “The level of interest and dedication is great.”

Friday will also feature a junior varsity game between Mission and G.W. Graham. That game kicks off at 5 p.m., to be followed at 7 p.m. by the varsity game.

Smith said the starters will play the first half, with the bench players getting in the game in the second half.

he Sardis Stealers went undefeated to claim first place in last weekend’s Richmond Girls U-14 fastpitch tournament.

The Stealers’ bats were unstoppable throughout the tournament, scoring 10 runs or more in six of their games.

In the round robin, the Stealers beat the Coquitlam Demons 10-4, the North Delta Shadow 13-6, the South Delta Outlaws 10-4 and the Richmond Bulldogs 11-4. Game MVPs were Amanda Marshall, Danika Rahnborn, Shelby Owen and Kiana Kelly.

A home run and strong pitching from Marshall helped the Stealers knock off a resilient Outlaws squad in the quarterfinal.

That had the Stealers facing the Richmond Panthers, who gave the Sardis girls their toughest test of the tournament. The game went to extra innings knotted 11-11. There, the Stealers scored the maximum of five runs and pitcher Ashley Guthrie shut the door in the bottom half of the inning to book a ticket in the final.

The Stealers dominated the Vancouver Scorpions in the final, and walked away with an easy 13-1 win.

Greggain tops at PGA of BC J

ennifer Greggain used home-field advantage to easily win the 2013 PGA of BC Women’s Championship event this week at Chilliwack Golf & Country Club.

After opening with an 80, Greggain—who is a CG&CC teaching pro—improved by 10 strokes on Tuesday, shooting a one-under 70 in a round that included four birdies and only one bogey and one double bogey.

“My mindset was to try and make birdies all day,” said Greggain.

“Rather than playing defensively, I wanted to shoot under par and I’m very happy I was able to do that.”

Summerland Golf and Country Club pro Greg Machtaler turned a one-stroke opening day deficit into a two-stroke win to claim victory in the Flightscope/Cobra-PUMA Golf PGA of BC Assistants’ Championship.

Machtaler followed up his opening day 69 with a blistering 65, punctuated by a chip-in birdie at the 15th, which gave him an insurmountable lead over first-round leader Gordy Scutt of the Olympic View Golf Club.

“That definitely gave me a comfortable cushion,” said Machtaler, who added that he wasn’t even thinking of holing the 12-yard pitch shot from behind the 15th green.

“Making it was the last thing on my mind,” said Machtaler, whose win brought him a $3,000 cheque. “I was pretty happy when it went in.”

Chilliwack Golf & Country Club played host to the Flightscope/Cobra-PUMA Golf PGA of BC Assistants’ Championship Monday and Tuesday.

Seniors’ Champioship, Seymour Golf and Countr y Club’s Roy Abbenbroek rode a hot putter and 14 pars to win the championship by one stroke over Cory Draper of the Capilano Golf and Country Club and Keith Vandenbrink of the Hillview Golf Course.

Chilliwack’s Colin McIntosh shot scores of 78 and 81 to finish well off the pace.

In the Super Seniors Division, Delta’s Norm Jarvis won the title for

the 60-and-older set.

Those numbers aren’t great, but then, neither was the team in front of him; the Smoke Eaters finished out of the playoffs both years Stanwood played in Trail.

2 0 1 3 SECONDARY SCHOOL

Chilliwack Secondary has become a home to many memories and learning experiences that will never be forgotten. As the final graduates of a 63 year long era we have a duty to uphold the legacy that is CSS. A legacy of perserverance through adversity, and a loyalty to our school (Falcons can’t fly through the Storm). As a grad class, we have experienced both tragedy and triumph. As individuals we are ready to pursue whatever we choose and face whatever obstacles come our way. Congratulations Grads of 2013 we have finally made it! from our two Valedictorian, Kirsten Hinlopen and Stephen Norish

Celebrating Grad

Your name is called, and step by step you make your way to the podium. Right hand over left, shake hands, receive your diploma, and step into a new world. This moment, graduation, is just around the corner for students of G. W. Graham, graduation class of 2013. You can feel the excitement, with each moment drawing closer to the day when we will step into a new phase in life, leaving the one we have know for the past eighteen years behind.

Many graduates here at G.W. Graham have been in school together for six years, as the grades run from seven to twelve. This unique opportunity has allowed for the students at G. W. Graham to form a special connection, no matter what department they may be a part of. Whether part of the fine arts, athletics, or academics, attending school together for six years has allowed us to grow together as a group, and know who we are as a whole.

As the excitement of the dawning day increases, the connections formed from over the past six years have also increased. The once in-a-lifetime opportunity, graduating high-school, has brought about a very special connection between the graduating students, that only increases as the day of graduation draws nearer. United even closer than before, graduation has proven to be a very special connecting factor between all the students, one that we all aim to enjoy on June the 14th, as we can all hold our heads high with pride as we cross the finish line, together.

People always say that the past defines who we are and what we are going to become. In fact, everything we need to know in life we learned as children. However, as Sparky Anderson put it “People who live in the past generally are afraid to compete in the present. I’ve got my faults, but living in the past is not one of them. There’s no future in it.” As we move ahead with life, the past is something we should look back at with fond memories, but we need to remember that God has a plan and a purpose for our future. No matter where we are, who we become, what we are doing, we will always have the connections and memories from our time at Highroad Academy. Congratulations to the class of 2013.

Thanks Bruce, I have a young family, a husband and three kids and my life is very complex. I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses was something I couldn’t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didn’t need an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less than I paid for one pair at my regular optical store. I couldn’t believe how great the deal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere but Great Glasses in the future.

I’m so glad that Bruce was willing to fight for good customer value.

Celebrating Grad

From the first day of this school year, the spirit and sheer talent of the 2013 Grads could be felt thundering through the halls of Sardis Secondary.

With the energy building as the weeks passed, everyone knew that this year was going to be epic!

This vivacity surged through us as the year went on, manifesting itself in many ways. The Senior Boys Basketball team made it to provincials for the first time in history and Sardis Secondary won the school spirit award! As well, 2013 marked the beginning of our very first senior girls’ rugby team who led an incredibly successful season! The Fine Arts department showed significant achievement in their highly entertaining rendition of Singin’ in the Rain, and the Dance Team placed 1st four times in competitions across the lower mainland with their fabulous routines. To top it all off, Falcon Pride flew worldwide this year with students volunteering in Costa Rica, and fundraising for grandmothers in Africa with the Drummin’ for Change benefit concert and four students competed in the National Skills Canada Competition. Excelling in athletics, arts, applied skills and service, rising to meet the oncoming challenges, the energy of this year’s grad class has truly made Sardis Secondary a “triple-threat” school.

I would like to say thank you to all who have encouraged and assisted us throughout the years. It is incredible that we are almost finished our school years. It feels that just last year our graduating class was learning our ABC’s. In the last months of Grade 12, we started to realize how much has changed since we were in Kindergarten. Memories of moments on the playgrounds or in the classrooms have flooded our minds. We have all changed from the first step we took into the school until today. We have tried to show great dedication by not only listening to the teachers but also using their lessons to the best of our abilities - lessons that can help us grow into the new chapter of our lives. We want to thank the teachers for giving their personal time to us that helped show us a Light to find our paths. We hope this Light will illuminate the path that is most precious in God’s eyes and which praises His name. “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Thank you to the families and congratulations to the graduating class of 2013! May God make your path clear to you and your futures bright!

I’ve have attended school at the Education Centre for 3 years and out of all 3 years, this one has been my favorite. Seeing and experiencing all the changes happening throughout the school has improved this school and has given it a better reputation. I became a teen mom this year and if it wasn’t for the special programs they have here, I wouldn’t be graduating this year. I am excited to be graduating from the ED Centre. I want to give a big thanks, from all the students, to Chuck Lawson.

He got us the funds, which gave us the opportunity to have electives and gave us the feeling of being in a traditional high-school. Attending the ED Centre has been an awesome experience and I’m walking out of here more independent and with a positive outlook on life. I also want to give a big thanks to every single one of the teachers and EAs that helped every student and put up with us through these past years! Haha! To all my fellow graduates this year, you have worked extremely hard to be up on that stage. You should be proud of your achievements! I have made some amazing friends here and I wish everyone the best of luck in the future. I will miss the ED Centre family!!

Kirstin Joinson

Our grad class of 2013 is a very diverse group. Some students excel at academics, some in athletics, some are more interested in fine arts, while still others love nothing more than fashioning a new creation in woodworking class. One might think that these differences would push us apart, but in reality they have drawn us closer together, as we’ve grown to respect one another’s gifts and talents.

The thing about our grad class, though, there are times that we don’t always get along very well as a whole group. We can squabble, we can fight, we can bicker, and attempting to get a large group of us to work together on a project is like trying to bathe an angry cat. But while that’s all true, it is because we are so close and are a family. We share a sibling-like bond that’s been strengthened over our time together. So when we clash, we clash like brothers and sisters; we argue with a fondness for each other that perseveres. We are blessed to be in a Christ-Centered community that enables us to see that it is good to recognize and celebrate our differences, even when it can create a disconnect in ideas.

Over the years, our fantastic teachers at Unity Christian School have taught us about academics, athletics, fine arts, and through this, our gifts, calling, and ourselves. Since the day that each of us first entered the school (whether that was anywhere from kindergarten to grade twelve), each one of us has grown and matured in our walk through life. We’ve also each received great mentorship from our teachers, who have encouraged us when we needed a push and advised us when we needed direction. What we appreciate most about our school, however, is probably its strong community nature, which allows us to learn how we best learn while also making many great memories.

Our class Bible verse is found in Proverbs 3:5, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” As always, choosing this verse as a group was a hard-fought battle, but in the end we all agreed that it provides a strong direction to follow after we graduate. With our transition from high school just around the corner and the vast responsibilities of adulthood beginning to weigh on our shoulders, this verse reminds us that we don’t have to go through life alone but need to both lean and trust God as we enter post-secondary.

RCMP reminds grads to celebrate safely W ith hundreds of Chilliwack teenagers set to graduate from high school, Mounties are reminding them to celebrate safely.

With an upsurge in bush parties often seen around June, police are warning that alcohol-fueled celebrations can be dangerous.

“This is very concerning for us,” said Cpl. Len vanNieuwenhuizen. “We always worry about impaired driving. Unfortunately we seem to experience the loss of a young life this time of year as a result of this high risk behaviour. This diminishes and destroys what should be a joyous time for our com-

munity.”

Mounties are asking the family and friends of teenagers to help graduates celebrate safely.

Police are also asking graduates to refrain from vandalism and graffiti at high schools.

“This does not reflect school spirit and only hurts the students,” vanNieuwenhuizen said. “The money and resources it takes to repair and clean up the vandalism and graffiti could be better spent in other areas such as graduation.”

He said such activities will be treated like the criminal offences they are.

May was hot and wet

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

M

ay was hot and wet as the month saw eight temperature records broken and rainfall 29 per cent higher than normal.

The ridge of high pressure that developed over Chilliwack at the end of April continued into May producing 12 days of dry, sunny, warm conditions, according to Environment Canada volunteer weather observer Roger Pannett.

The mercury peaked on May 5 at 31.5C, which was 14C above normal and higher than the previous record of 29.5C set in 1953.

The next day’s 30.3C broke a 26-year-old record, and that day also saw a record mean temperature of 22C and a record minimum of 13.7C, according to Pannett.

Three more records were broken May 7, 10 and 11 and then the cool, wet stuff came.

Total precipitation for May was 126.6 millimetres

(mm) on 16 days, up from the 30-year average of 98.3 mm on 12 days.

Last month was the third consecutive month with above normal rainfall, and April and May were the wettest since 1996.

That rain made up for the first few months of the year putting total precipitation to date at 872 mm on 89 days compared to the average of 859.1 mm on 80 days.

Pannett said May 2013 was the warmest since 2005.

As we enter the last days of our school voyage, we pause to remember the many moments that have shaped our class. We began Kindergarten as strangers, but now we are close friends. Throughout the years, we have overcome all the struggles and difficulties which we encountered and together we have gained the necessary attributes to become successful adults. We have effectively used our strengths, and focused on sharpening our weaknesses, enabling us to grow and develop into a well-bonded class of unique individuals. As we begin our separate journeys, we hope that we will remember and treasure the fundamentals of our education, and that the lessons we have learned will help us make the correct choices in the future. We express our thanks to God for leading and guiding us through the years and all those who have supported and directed us during this time, allowing us to be part of the graduating class of 2013.

An ancient game

Slahal’s origins pre-date the last ice age

BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

I

f you’ve ever wondered why people hunt animals instead of the other way around (usually), look no further than the traditional First Nations game of slahal.

According to some stories about its origins, the game was born when humans and animals long ago decided to settle, once and for all, who would hunt whom for the rest of eternity.

Not only did the humans win and avoid becoming the hunted forever (by the skin of their teeth, some stories say), they also found a way to solve disputes over things like territory and fishing spots without having to resort to bloodshed.

Last week local students got a chance to try the old game (some scientists peg its origins before the last ice age) at a tournament organized by Chilliwack secondary’s aboriginal education department as part of its year-end celebration.

About 250 people gathered to watch six slahal teams—made up of students and community members—face off at the Sto:lo Nation Longhouse, but none could stand in

the other guesses the way of F.I.S.H. For Wilson, whose ancestral name, Syowel: Captained by CSS Grade 10 student Clarence Wilson, the team went unbeaten and lalexw, means spirit singer, the singing and comfortably cruised to the $500 first-place drumming is the best part of the game.

It can also turn a tough contest around, he’s prize.

It didn’t hurt that Clarence had a ringer found.

He remembers a particularly tense game on his team—dad Richard Wilson, a veteran at an elders’ conference at Kilgard: he was player. down to his last stick, and one more success“I love this game,” the elder Wilson said. ful guess by the opposing team Once used to resolve conflicts, would have finished him. slahal is now mostly a gambling “I said to my son and his friend, game popular in western B.C. ‘Sing me a kick-ass song. Sing me and the Pacific Northwest of the a good song.’ So, they did and we United States. won on that one song. I got all the Also called bonegame or sticksticks back.” game, it features 11 sticks and Because they can swing back two sets of “bones,” so called SCAN TO SEE PHOTOS and forth, slahal games can last because they were traditionally minutes or hours. fashioned out of animal bones.

The longest one Wilson’s ever played in was Each set is made up of one striped (male) nine hours long. and one unmarked (female) bone.

The size of the competitions also vary, from The sticks are divided between the teams at the beginning of the game, and the object is large tournaments with pots of up to $4,000, to win them all by correctly guessing—using to small games that start spontaneously.

“Sometimes it’s boredom,” Wilson said of age-old hand signals—which of an opposing impromptu games that just start up with a player’s hands is hiding the unmarked bone.

The teams sit in a line facing each other and couple people. “You start singing a couple of each team sings and drums raucously while songs and then all of a sudden people come.”

Wilson started playing about 20 years ago, when he was already an adult. He has passed on his love of slahal to his kids much earlier, always travelling to tournaments with his family.

“My kids are born into it,” he said.

Wilson has also shared his expertise with the broader community, teaching Slahal at Sto:lo’s Longhouse Extension Program, which provides teachers and students a hands-on way to learn about the Sto:lo way of life.

In the Chilliwack school district, youngsters get to learn about slahal from First Nations elder and Halq’emeylem language teacher Judy Douglas.

(Douglas also helped the Sto:lo Alternate team to a second-place finish at last week’s tournament.)

She tells her students the story about how slahal got started and the rudiments of the game, including the drumming and singing.

“They all think it’s fun,” she said.

For First Nations and aboriginal kids, whether they know the game or not, it’s rewarding to share a fun part of their culture with peers.

“They’re just proud as punch,” Douglas said.

MEHR, Lambert (Bert) Joseph

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Lambert Mehr, 67 following a brave two year battle with cancer. He passed away peacefully on May 16, 2013 with his loving family present.

Bert was happiest operating heavy equipment, a career he his most of his life. His last few years spent as an excavator operator with Jake’s Construction, a job he very much enjoyed.

Bert enjoyed gardening, fishing, camping and hockey as well as time spent with family and friends.

Bert was preceded in death by his parents Mary and Fred Mehr. He is survived by his loving wife Lila, daughters Sherry (Scott) McEachern and Mitchell, Gail (Trevor) Halyk, Kyle and Tia, Stepson Kyle Bowness and stepdaughters Tammy (Rob) Kynock, Robbie, Miranda, Jaret and Skylar and Deanna (Michael) Samra, Ronin and Naysa.

Sister’s Ethel (Linus) Fiest of Edmonton and family, Shirley (Gary) Petrovics of Agassiz and family. Brothers Gerry (Kathy) Mehr of Hope and family, Robert (Alice) Mehr of Chilliwack and family and Eugene (Sharon) Mehr of Kamloops and family.

The family is thankful for the exceptional care given to Lambert by Dr. Lisa Legresley, NU4 at Chilliwack Hospital and Dr Bruce Keith and all the nurses of the chemotherapy room at Abbotsford Cancer Centre.

Donations in remembrance of Lambert may be made to the BC Cancer foundation or Cascades Hospice in Chilliwack.

We thank God for the gift of Lambert’s life and the blessing of the time we spent with him.

The song has ended, but the melody lingers on. Irvin Berlin
