SPILT MILK Troubles continue for Chilliwack Cattle Sales as people now upset that boycotted milk will be destroyed

F

or Chilliwack city council, backyard chickens are an idea that isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

With Coun. Jason Lum opposed, council rejected the idea of allowing urban hens in residential areas at Tuesday’s meeting.

The woman on the forefront of pushing for backyard chickens in the city is disappointed but not surprised.

Earlier this year, Nicholette Devenney was invited to give a presentation on urban hens to the Agricultural Advisory Committee (AAC) as city hall EB IRST has received an increasing num- First reported on ber of inquiries chilliwacktimes.com about the subject.

Devenney says the committee, chaired by chicken farmer Coun.

Ken Huttema, was dead-set against it from the start.

“They were defensive, they didn’t want to listen to it,” Devenney told the Times of the February meeting.

“I know for a fact Ken Huttema didn’t want to hear anything about it. They basically laughed at me.

“They asked me to be there and then they ripped it apart.”

At Tuesday’s meeting, Coun. Ken Huttema, Coun. Sue Attrill and Mayor Sharon Gaetz spoke about the various concerns regarding backyard chickens, chief among

Milk continues to flow.

And because the largest processor in the country, Montreal-based Saputo, now refuses to accept milk from the Chilliwack Cattle Sales (CCS), the BC Milk Marketing Board says there is no other market and the milk has to be destroyed.

This means that nearly 100,000 litres of milk produced each day at the massive operation on Prairie Central Road owned by the Kooyman family will be wasted until an independent audit is completed.

The outrage at the announcement Tuesday was immediate.

“Why not donate the milk instead of destroying it? They could use the (good?)

PR after recent events,” said @codephobia on Twitter.

which is the fear of avian flu.

Only Coun. Jason Lum expressed a desire to discuss the matter further, and consider ways to allow for the possibility of having chickens on residential properties. Lum asked if concerns over avian flu had manifested itself in communities where the practice is allowed, such as Vancouver and Victoria.

Gaetz pointed to the mass cull of all poultry in Chilliwack when avian flu hit the Fraser Valley in 2004, and said that if a chicken died in a backyard in Vancouver, there was little chance it would be tested to see if avian flu was the culprit.

“The difficult part for the city was going to each home that had chickens and informing them that they would have to take their chickens and be destroyed,” she said. “Council is thinking ahead.”

Huttema talked about concerns over the expense of monitoring and enforcement were chickens to be allowed in a limited form in residentially zoned areas.

Other concerns included: disposal of waste, disposal of unwanted chickens, general nuisance, hens at large, attracting vermin and/or predators and insufficient egg production.

Another point brought up in the staff report and by Gaetz was the relative availability of eggs already from nearby farmers.

“We really do want to support our egg farmers,” she said. “You can go to the side of every road and buy a dozen organic, free range eggs for about $3, gathered for you, washed for you, ready to go warm from under the hen.”

For Devenney, having backyard chickens represents one small measure in the fight against poverty given increasing prices for all proteins.

But more than that, she said she is also interested in having hens in her backyard to gain a sense of self-sufficiency and food security in the event of a natural disaster.

“Why are we not teaching our citizens to take care of ourselves?” she asks. “As soon as you have a natural disaster, people are needing the government and I don’t want to be one of those people.”

Devenney did have six chickens in her Sardis backyard but the city forced her to get rid of them.

Lum suggested a pilot project be introduced, but this was also rejected by the AAC. The AAC also did not approve of a suggestion to create a community-garden type chicken farm, but Coun.

Sue Attrill suggested that an entrepreneur on agriculture land could create a business of that type on their own.

Pretty at Prom

Nails, hair and makeup are all part of the plan for Amanda Meyers’ volunteer prom prep day for teens in need.

BY DESSA BAYROCK Special to the Times

W

ith prom just around the corner, Amanda Meyer thinks every graduating girl deserves to feel like a princess—even if they can’t afford to.

Meyer has rallied friends and community members together to give the grads of 2014 the prom send-off they deserve, donating time and materials in order do the hair, makeup and nails of graduating girls who can’t afford to go to a salon.

“Every girl deserves to feel beautiful on her prom day,” she says.

Meyer estimates getting dolled up for prom easily stretches into the $100-and-up range when everything stacks together.

But with a little help from the community, she estimates she’ll be able to offer the service to about 20 girls for free.

“I’m hoping I’ll have enough help that I won’t have to turn anyone away

Amanda Meyers is making sure every girl going to prom feels beautiful . . . even if they can’t afford it if they really need it,” Meyer says.

And help has been pouring in from all sides. Meyer originally posted online looking for make-up donations and was floored by the support she received.

“I kept getting messages from people all over asking if they could come and give me a hand,” she says. “They want to come and watch everything, and help out however they can— there’s been a lot of support from the community.”

Meyer will handle the makeup and have another volunteer on hand to help with the manicures. Other women have volunteered time to style hair and give facials. Another friend—a professional caterer—will supply the grads and prep team with food for the day.

Everything is coming together, and

the only piece yet to fall into place is the grads.

Meyer has been in touch with the schools, but is running into trouble; the strike action, she says, has made it more difficult than ever to get in touch with already-busy teachers.

“I called a couple of months ago and they told me they’d pass me on to the prom committee, and I haven’t heard anything from anybody,” she says. “I keep trying to call and nobody will give me too much information.”

The team will be passing out flyers in the next week or so, and Meyer hopes to get a few recommendations from the Ann Davis Transition Society, but otherwise hopes that grads or parents will get in touch.

“I remember my prom day—how

beautiful I felt,” she recalls. “I could afford to go to the salon, and I got my hair and my makeup done, and I felt like the most beautiful girl ever.

“It hurts me to know that some people can’t afford to do that.” ◗ Any grad interested in attending the prep day on Thursday, June 26 can give Meyer a call at 604-378-9687 or contact her on Facebook. She’ll schedule girls in on a first-come, firstserved basis, but also invites grads to drop by on the day if they find themselves in a pinch. Meyer says they’ll do their best to help everyone, and will be in the St. Paul’s Lutheran Church on School St. from 9 a.m. until about 4 p.m., accessible by the back entrance. She’s also looking for a volunteer hairdresser to help out for the day.

› News { MILK, from page A1 } I’ve heard,” said @BSeaBob. “Use the milk somehow even with no proceeds to CCS.” In a statement issued Tuesday, the BC Milk Marketing Board said it is “concerned” with Saputo’s announcement that it would refuse Chilliwack Cattle Sales milk, but it will comply with the request.

The Board very briefly suspended milk pickup at the farm last week due to “concern for the ethical treatment of animals.”

A notice was issued June 12, but the next day the Board received advice from a veterinarian, and word from the BC SPCA and Chilliwack Cattle Sales that the animals would be cared for properly.

Meanwhile, an online petition directed at Saputo CEO Lino Saputo Jr. with more than 100,000 signatures spurred the company to act, and the company announced Monday it would no longer accept CCS milk.

“Since Saputo learned of the animal abuse at the farm in British Columbia from which horrific images of cattle mistreatment were captured, the company has used its position as Canada’s largest milk processor to ensure the situation is being addressed and that such reprehensible behaviour, which offends not only Saputo’s values but also those of its consumers and customers, does not occur in the future,” the statement said.

Through a public relations firm, the Kooymans responded.

Ploughed into festival crowd

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

C Paul J. Henderson/TIMES - file

Police talk to witnesses and paramedics deal with the injured as an Air Ambulance takes off after a violent crash at Harrison Hot Springs during the arts festival last July.

Holy defence

The Chilliwack man convicted of mischief, fraud and uttering threats who hoped for divine legal intervention will serve nine-and-a-half months in jail in addition to the approximately two months already served.

Christopher Gauthier was given a psychological fitness assessment after police observed him talking into a jail cell toilet earlier this year in a supposed attempt to communicate with Jesus Christ.

The 43-year-old was arrested on March 29 after he tried to kick down his neighbour’s door and threatened him by saying “I’m going to kill you. I’m going to cut your head off and stab you.”

When police arrived, they called up a flight of stairs in the direction of Gauthier’s unit. He appeared and asked if he could finish praying.

Five minutes later, he came down and was arrested without incident, according to Crown counsel Brian Fell.

In the course of being advised of his rights, Gauthier told police Jesus Christ was his lawyer.

“The officer asked if he wanted to speak with legal aid instead,” Fell said in court in April, “and the answer was ‘No, I want Jesus Christ.’”

Gauthier repeatedly asked for Jesus, and even directed police to look him up

harges have finally been laid against the driver of an SUV that ploughed into crowds at last summer’s Harrison Festival of the Arts in Harrison Hot Springs.

Many of the hundreds in attendance won’t soon forget the moment when a white Toyota FJ Cruiser came crashing onto the sidewalk just metres from the beach stage.

Three members of one Abbotsford family that were struck by a white Toyota FJ Cruiser were strewn over the intersection of

Highway 9 and Esplanade Avenue.

This reporter was present to hear screams from the 37-year-old mother who was hit and thrown into the air at about 1:15 p.m. on July 7.

Also hit was the 51-year-old father and 13-year-old son. The 16-year-old son managed to jump out of the way and could be seen holding his mother’s hand as passersby and later emergency personnel attended to the woman.

Six charges have now been laid against Clinton Lee Michaloski.

The 28-year-old faces three charges each of impaired driving causing bodily harm and danger-

ous driving causing bodily harm.

Witnesses at the scene said Michaloski was either “drunk out of his mind” or impaired by drugs when he got out of the vehicle.

People at the scene put him back into the vehicle to wait for RCMP to arrive.

“With several hundred people reported to be in the area, we are thankful that the family survived and no one else was injured or killed,” RCMP spokesperson Constable Cynthia Kershaw said a year ago.

Michaloski’s next appearance in Chilliwack court is scheduled for June 24.

➤ COURT BRIEFS in the phone book.

Gauthier received a global sentence of one year in prison, minus time served, for one count of theft under $5,000, two counts of mischief under $5,000, one count of fraud under $5,000 and one breach of undertaking.

Your Mom Deserves the Best!

No jail for Kelly

A man found with drugs, a gun and explosives in a Nowell Street apartment building a year ago will not go to jail.

Michael Wayne Kelly faced seven charges after he was one of three arrested following raids on two apartments on June 5, 2013.

Kelly originally faced a number of charges including possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, making or possessing explosives, careless use of a firearm and unauthorized possession of a firearm.

He was found guilty of one trafficking charge and the two firearms charges.

Kelly was handed an 18-month conditional sentence in Chilliwack court on June 9, in addition to one year probation and a mandatory 10-year firearm ban.

Two trustees won’t cross line

Preschoolers crossing The five trustees, school board staff and guests at Tuesday’s meeting weren’t the only ones to cross BC Teachers Federation (BCTF) picket lines this week.

Parents and caregivers of children who attend daycares and preschools on school district property have been crossing picket lines all week after the district reversed its initial decision to force the private businesses to close.

On May 23, superintendent Evelyn Novak told daycares and

This was despite BCTF word that the union would not get in the way of operators or parents attending the daycares or preschools.

“We never intended to picket them out,” Chilliwack Teachers Association president Clint Johnston told the Times Friday. “It was a decision by the board.”

At a June 10 meeting, the school board approved a resolution that daycares and preschools could remain open on days of teacher strike action.

Parents rally Chilliwack parents and students took their turn to rally in front of Chilliwack MLA John Martin’s constituency office Friday afternoon.

“Both sides are too blame, both sides have good points,” parent Christa Petty told the Times. “We teach our kids to get along. They are not a good example.”

The group of 30-or-so parents and students held signs that said things like, “Education provides opportunities” and “Save my future.”

Six-year-old Nico Kay had a sign around his neck that said “Fight for my teacher and my education.”

id you know... magnesium deficiency is a common ailment - it’s estimated that over 80% of the population suffers from it and it can result in serious health problems.

s weekend talks failed to resolve the current job action and teachers began a full-scale strike, School District 33 trustees held their regular meeting on Tuesday evening.

But two trustees, Dan Coulter and Barry Neufeld, were not at the meeting as they did not want to cross the picket lines set up in front of the school board office.

“Spent the night with Barry Neufeld respecting a picket line in front of the school district office,” Coulter wrote on his Facebook page. “I’ve committed to never crossing a picket line.”

The meeting went ahead with trustees Walt Krahn, Silvia Dyck, Heather Maahs, Doug McKay and Martha Wiens in attendance.

It is known as “nature’s calcium channel blocker,” as it helps to block the entry of calcium into the smooth muscle layer of the heart so there is less opportunity for build-up or blockages around the heart. This increases the efficiency of the heart muscle and lowers blood pressure.

Magnesium also helps to relax nerves, relieve tension and induce sleep. A magnesium deficiency interferes with the trans-

mission of your nerve and muscle impulses, causing nervousness, irritability, muscle weakness and cramps.

No matter how much calcium you take, your body cannot properly absorb it without magnesium.

A shortage of calcium can be an indicator of brittle bones or osteoporosis. Magnesium also helps relax skeletal muscles which can reduce the severity of tenderness and pain experienced by people with fibromyalgia.

It could be a long summer

◗ Publisher

T

hey say the key to good comedy is timing. The same could be said of labour action.

The BC teachers strike, which began in full yesterday, is an example of questionable timing.

It appears to be a gamble, which may not pay off.

The strike is taking place at a time when students are normally preparing for final exams. This is a time when some children have the most need of a teacher’s help.

Classes designed around reviewing the year’s curriculum will be lost and while the government has assured that exams will go on, you have to wonder if the students are properly prepared to take those tests.

If the teachers were hoping that a mid-June strike would provide the needed pressure to bring a quick end to the dispute, they appear to be mistaken.

On Monday talks collapsed between the two parties and the strike is on.

Now comes the waiting game.

With negotiations stalled and the school year winding down, the pressure to sign a new deal will soon evaporate.

If the strike continues into July, why would either side feel the need to make concessions?

What will result is two long months of speeches, saber-rattling and rhetoric as both sides claim to be fighting for a just cause.

Worse is the fact that parents, and the general public, will begin to lose interest as normal summer vacation activities begin.

The government is watching you

T

he protest in January in front of Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl’s office was small and, frankly, a little confusing.

Commuters speeding by in vehicles on Vedder would be forgiven for not being able to read the homemade signs and realize what the protest was about.

I wasn’t entirely sure either.

“Restore EI medical benefits,” read one sign.

“Chuck Strahl—Consultant to Enbridge and Federal SIRC Chair— Conflict of Interest,” read another.

“Harper Environmental Terrorist,” read one man’s T-shirt.

“Stop the silence of the labs,” was on another sign.

“Chuck is watching you . . . who’s watching Chuck?” read yet one more.

A rally with fewer than 10 individuals with mixed messages in front of a backbencher’s office in one of the smallest cities in the Lower Mainland.

Inconsequential?

Maybe, but certainly not for those involved.

PAUL J. HENDERSON @peejayaitch Invisible?

Mostly . . . but not anymore.

If that protest were to be organized tomorrow, a new directive from the federal government means protests, rallies, even bake sales of a certain kind are to be monitored by Ottawa.

“The Government Operations Centre is seeking your assistance in compiling a comprehensive listing of all known demonstrations which will occur either in your geographical area or that may touch on your mandate,” said an email, leaked to the Ottawa Citizen, sent out earlier this month by the Government Operations Centre in Ottawa to all federal departments.

“We will compile this information and make this information available to our partners unless of course, this information is not to be shared and

not available on open sources. In the case of the latter, this information will only be used by the GOC for our Situational Awareness.”

Never heard of the GOC? According to the Citizen article, the GOC “is supposed to provide strategic-level co-ordination on behalf of the federal government ‘in response to an emerging or occurring event affecting the national interest.’”

At least one intelligence expert thinks the GOC order goes well beyond its mandate, and it’s illegal.

Not surprisingly, opposition parties are critical of the move, to the point of hyperbole.

Liberal MP and public safety critic Wayne Easter said the order speaks to what we are seeing more and more of from the Conservative government: If you disagree with policy, they are watching you.

“Demonstrations, as long as they are peaceful, are part of a healthy democracy,” Easter told the Citizen. “This is the kind of tactics you would see in a dictatorship.”

This is the type of story that I’m surprised hasn’t had conspiracy theorists shrieking in the streets. Or at least civil libertarians.

There is likely no need to be concerned about any of this.

If it’s true the Conservatives are increasingly turning their eyes on citizens who protest and opposed government policy, it is also true that the Conservatives are so fiscally tight that cuts to virtually all departments mean it’s unlikely members of the WaterWealth Project in Chilliwack, for example, should be worried their phones are to be tapped.

There aren’t enough employees left in the federal government to read, much less worry about, all the emails being exchanged between activists.

It’s not a big deal, I suppose, that the federal government is gathering information on events as small as an Aboriginal healing dance in Kenora, Ont., a prayer ceremony in Edmonton, and an Idle No More taco fundraiser at the Native Friendship Centre in Barrie, Ont. But it sure is creepy.

Longboarders flagrant disregard of the law is reckless

Editor: Well, at first glance, it’s a win-win situation: Longboarders willing to pay the fines, and me, who is taking every opportunity to photograph or videotape the offenders, and sending the evidence to the police, will ensure longboarders in violation are fined.

Flagrant disregard of the law, however, has never been acceptable; fines are enforced to discourage and eliminate this behaviour.

What you are doing is dangerous—and not just to yourself. Your “fun” cannot impose on others. It’s something you’re going to have to become accustomed to if, or when, you grow up.

Come together and ask the community to build another skatepark that suits your needs better. Why not? I’d support that.

It was pretty freaky driving in my own neighbourhood with my oldest child who had just gotten her “L” with you recklessly flying around. It’s not fair to expect everyone to worry about hitting you.

It also doesn’t seem to occur to you that you are not the only one affected if (God forbid) an accident occurred resulting in your serious injury or death. The other party, regardless of fault, (and the law now clearly makes it yours) will still suffer emotional trauma.

Try to abide by the rules society puts out for us. It helps us all get along and keeps us safe.

Please remember, brevity is the soul of wit. questionable their ideas merit more of a look than Mr Harrington’s tired call for a renewed gun registry.

How a registry would have helped when the fact the shooter had a firearms licence didn’t, is something I suspect Mr Harrington will be unable to answer.

As for the old specter of America’s “gun culture,” I assume that Mr. Harrington also will not be able to answer why, despite the highest ever numbers of privately owned firearms, the legalization of concealed carry handguns in over 40 states and the expiry of the assault weapons ban, firearms murders are at their lowest rate in the U.S. (and Canada) in over 40 years.

It is insulting to the reader’s intelligence to insinuate that the problem of societal violence can be managed by controlling the instruments of violence while ignoring the root causes of poverty, inequity and mental illness. Perhaps, after all, there is more to the NFA’s ideas than some would like us to believe.

Paying for Liberal’s fiscal bungling Editor: Re: Education funding cuts.

As an education assistant I see firsthand the impact of classroom

Our educators need Defending monster is reprehensible to be supported

composition and size on the quality of education. Special needs and behaviourally challenged students without support from CUPE staff monopolize teachers’ time robbing other students of teachers’ attention.

Special needs and behavioural students left without extra support can dominate and run the classroom.

This has a profound effect on the quality of education for all students including students with special support needs. This detrimental impact is compounded with class size increase. A large group of acting-out students competing for attention is extremely difficult, if not impossible, for one teacher to manage alone resulting in great cost to students.

Class-size increases and support service cuts, the Liberal government promised not to make, were introduced after 2001 to pay for large tax cuts. Now the education providers are left to manage the resulting damages from these cuts. What are the values of a government that compromises the education and care of our future generation for short-term gain to pay for fiscal mismanagement? We all reap the long-term benefits of investing in our children’s future today.

When I hear people vilifying teachers for taking job action out of desperation, I hear this response as an uninformed knee-jerk reaction like pawns playing right into the government’s strategy to gain public support by provoking teachers to use their only option left—a strike.

My advice to Peter Fassbender and the Liberal government is to look beyond your ideologically driven anti-union position and cost-saving motives. Step out of your power struggle and need to win in order to genuinely listen and negotiate in good faith this time. My advice to teachers and the BCTF is to keep on advocating for our children and raising your voices until you are heard.

You have my full support.

Debbie Gove Chilliwack

Editor: It seems strange to me that to those who oppose the teachers’ current job action, our children’s teachers are considered greedy and unreasonable.

I’m asking our government officials if there is nothing wrong with our educational systems, why do any of them send their children to private school? Is it because private schools have smaller classroom sizes? Is it because teachers at private schools have more resources to accommodate children with special needs? Is it because private schools invest in their employees to ensure quality education for their students?

Unfortunately, most parents do not have the luxury of affording private schools. But should it not be our goal to have our public system emulate what is proven to be successful in the private system?

Do people who criticize our teachers’ current position in this contract dispute appreciate the job and responsibility our teachers have?

To those people, I would suggest they should volunteer some of their time in assisting in their children’s classrooms a few days each year. It is easy to pose arguments and criticize when one doesn’t witness or see what’s happening in their own kids’ classrooms. These arguments put our teachers in the unenviable and vilified position of defending their critical role in influencing your children’s development.

I support our teachers. I would further suggest that it’s important not to confuse the tactics and positions of bargaining units for those of our individual teachers. Propaganda and guerrilla warfare exists on both sides of this “negotiation.” But let’s not lose focus on the fact that the educators of our children need to be respected, revered, and most importantly supported.

Colette Boisvert Chilliwack

Editor: I was so angry when I read the article, “Ordinary man not a monster,” in the June 12 edition of the Chilliwack Times.

It is because of lawyers like Martin Finch that these sick individuals are getting away with child pornography.

Excuse me, yes he is a monster and so is anyone else who indulges in this horrific activity. There is nothing ordinary about having a sexual preference towards children.

As for saying it wasn’t his fault as he “inadvertently” got the Internet in a bundled package when he ordered TV services. So the TV service and Internet came free with child pornography did it?

How can people like him live with themselves, defending somebody like that? They should be ashamed of themselves, making excuses up for him. Just because it is happening, it doesn’t make it right. What is wrong with the world?

How dare he, or anybody else, make excuses up for these very sick individuals. It is wrong and should be stopped.

Every child has the right to live an ordinary, safe and happy life.

Nobody has the right to take their innocence away.

BY MORRIS WATSON Chilliwack Victory Church

N

ot all that long ago the idea of having electricity surging through the walls of our homes and through cables under the oceans would have been just the dreams of imaginative people.

The reality today is that we can’t imagine a world any other way.

Electricity has become as vital to our lives as virtually everything else that we have, with possibly the exception of food.

Give some thought to what you wouldn’t have if you didn’t have any electricity. Your house would grow dark and cold and your car would cease to run and your Internet would die.

One of the things that has become a product of the proliferation of electricity is the radio and the ability to

Don’t settle for wireless: plug in send electronic waves through the air and receive them in another location. This revolutionized communications because you no longer had to have wires strung everywhere.

It seems like almost everything is remote controlled or wireless in some way today. We have become annoyed with the concept of hardwired connections even when our computer is only a few feet from a port. I have to admit that it has certainly made things more convenient to have wireless connectivity on everything. The interesting thing is that, even though wireless is convenient it’s not necessarily as good.

Hardwired connections are still more reliable and able to carry more data

at faster speeds than their wireless counterparts. Now, I’m sure that you don’t need me to bore you with this stuff, so let me draw a parallel for you in relationship to everyday living.

Our society grows increasingly disconnected from hardwired relationships. We are no longer tied together the way we once were with direct connections. Families, relatives and neighbours seem to be putting more distance between themselves in many ways. We have become the same as our wireless systems and we are trying to interact with no real connectivity. Social events are only considered successful when they are so big and busy that you don’t actually have any possibility to connect

with anyone.

As a pastor I often hear that people are struggling to find others that they can have a real connection with. All through our society there is a struggle going on. People are looking for hardwired relationships and can’t find them because it’s all geared to being seamless and wireless. Somebody once asked if I thought that people actually reached out for relationships through online or telephone dating services. My response was that, those companies don’t spend millions on advertising because nobody calls. Of course people reach out through those mediums because they are desperate for meaningful relationships.

It is unfortunate but this problem has crept into all of our institutions, even the church. I understand that relationships can be messy and at times hurtful but we have been created as social beings that need interactive relationships to be well adjusted and fulfilled. This was the strength behind the early church in the Book of Acts as they connected through their common faith and social needs. In our increasingly entertainment-oriented society we have become wirelessly connected and we’re not getting what we need to be fulfilled. Each of us needs to find that place of connection where we can plug in and get the level of input that we need. Don’t settle for wireless when you can be fully plugged in. ◗ Morris Watson is a pastor with Chilliwack Victory Church. he can be reached at morris@v-church.com.

he U-16 Chilliwack Stealers girls fastpitch team claimed first place in District playdowns earning them a spot in Provincials in Port Alberni July 4 to 6.

As underdogs winning local playdowns, these first-year bantams were up against a strong second-year team. The Slammers fought hard but in the end it was the Stealers with the ticket to Districts.

Strong pitching by Amanda Marshall and Ashley Guthrie kept the Langley Eh at bay in the first District game of the day at Abbostford Exhibition Park.

Mission Elite claimed game two, forcing the Stealers to battle their way through the back door to get to the finals, and they did thanks to home runs from Danika Rahnborn, Amanda Marshall and a beauty pick off on third by Taylor Macdonald.

Love your garden, love other people’s gardens

BY DESSA BAYROCK Special to the Times

E

ver driven by a stranger’s beautiful garden and wished you could get a closer look?

Zoie Bailey has.

And luckily for her fellow gardening enthusiasts, she organizes the stops on Chilliwack’s annual Rotary Garden and Lifestyle Tour. Drive-by scouting missions are one of the ways she recruits gardeners to the cause—after all, she says, gardeners are naturally shy, and often need more than a little prodding to show off the fruits of their labour.

“Gardeners are very humble people. It’s just what they do; they don’t like to be boastful or prideful about their gardens,” she says with a smile.

Now in its twelfth year, the tour is a chance for Chilliwack to show off its natural beauty—and for Chilliwack residents to sneak a peek into a couple gorgeous gardens. Bailey explains a fair number of these annual garden tourists simply don’t have the space, time, or energy to garden any more, and the tour is a way for them to live vicariously through other gardeners.

The stops on the tour vary widely from year to year; Bailey says they try not to repeat a garden for at least five years, meaning every year is completely different from the last. This year they split gardens into a number of categories and tried to showcase as much variety as possible, ranging from annuals to perennials and vegetables to flowers.

Gretchen Tournier’s garden is part of

the tour this year, and lends a touch of the historical to the day, since her garden sits on the original Teskey property in Promontory. She’s spent some of her spare time looking into the history of the property and profiling Mrs. Teskey—who had 13 children and held church in the house every Sunday. Part of the stop at her garden will include a history board, detailing some facts about the property and the Teskeys.

The garden has certainly seen a transformation over the decades; it’s now home to more than 150 garden containers of annuals—which is funny, considering that her mother’s garden—just across the road, and also featured on the tour—is all perennials.

“I like colour all the time, and perennials come and kind of go at different times,” she explains. “I like colour from spring right through.”

It’s just one example of how a garden reflects the gardener—and a testament to the variety of gardens in Chilliwack.

And as spring turns into summer, Bailey says they couldn’t have hoped for better weather to show off the beauty of Chilliwack’s gardens.

“This has actually been the nicest May and June we’ve had for 10 years—usually the rain holds off, but it’s actually not bad if it’s a slightly overcast day,” Bailey says.

“Gardeners are not scared of rain!”

utdoor cooking is one of the best ways to embrace and celebrate the warmer temperatures now coming upon us. Greek cuisine is one of my all-time favourites, and this personal recipe of mine for Greek burgers is sure to be a hit at your next backyard cookout. Feel free to replace the lamb with beef, if you’re not a lamb lover —but I personally love the flavour of lamb in this recipe. Fresh herbs are a must—this is not a recipe for using your spice rack.

Happy cooking!

chocolate covered strawberries Recipe by Chef Dez “The combination of the chocolate & butter makes the coating richer and easier to bite into, without it falling apart.”

Ingredients: 8 - 12 large strawberries 4 oz. semi-sweet chocolate 4 tbsp butter 1.5 oz white chocolate Directions: 1. Rinse strawberries, leaving on the green tops. Pat them dry thoroughly.

2. Bring about two inches of water to a light simmer in a double boiler. If you don’t have a double boiler, then just use a pot and a stainless steel bowl instead.

3. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate and the butter together in the double boiler (or the stainless steel bowl) over the simmering water, stirring occasionally, until completely melted and combined.

4. By gently holding onto the leaves of a strawberry, dip each one into the melted chocolate/butter mixture. Run

or people who like food—I mean, really like food—this time of year is exhilarating as the literal fruits of spring start to appear at markets, grocery stores and roadside stalls.

First it was those cartoon-like fiddleheads on display at Hofstede’s and some other local produce purveyors.

Then we saw the long tendrils of rhubarb laid out as sour soldiers awaiting piedom.

More recently, gnarled nugget potatoes overflow from shelves yearning to be roasted.

These are the foods many of us endure long winter months pining for as we survive on frozen blueberries, pickled asparagus and homesick vegetables up from their birthplaces in California or Mexico.

But it is another product this time of year that stirs local tastebuds and steers local cars onto gravel shoulders at ubiquitous fruit stands.

The strawberries are in.

These red harbingers of spring need no recipe for the most part. They are one of those rare products that often don’t even make it home, snacked on as they are right out of their containers.

But here are two simple classic ways to enjoy strawberries, one decadent, one healthy, both delicious.

one side of the berry against the edge of the bowl before taking it out to remove any excess, and place that side down on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.

5. Store the sheet of berries in the refrigerator to solidify the chocolate coating.

6. Melt the white chocolate over the double boiler in a separate bowl, stirring occasionally until completely melted.

7. Take the cooled strawberries out of the refrigerator.

Using a teaspoon splash the white chocolate vigorously in a back-and-forth motion so that thin lines of white chocolate fall upon the strawberries.

8. Refrigerate once again.

9. Let sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes prior to serving.

Makes 8 – 12 strawberries

strawberry chia seed jam

Strawberries 6346774

Some choices are hard.

Recipe by Joanne Menard, naturopathic doctor “Full disclosure: I’m not a jam person. But my four-year-old daughter adores jam and her breakfast of choice is jam and almond butter on a piece of bread.

It’s certainly not an unhealthy breakfast but I’m not thrilled about the added sugar that is found in basically every homemade jam recipe and every bottle of jam you find on the grocery store shelf. So I was intrigued when a friend of ours suggested making jam with just chia seeds.

No sugar. Well, the verdict from the above-mentioned four-year-old is in. Absolutely sugar-free chia seed jam is not just edible, but delicious.

And Dr. Mom couldn’t be happier.”

Ingredients: 12 cups strawberries 2 cups water 1 cup chia seeds Directions: 1. Hull & wash strawberries.

2. Add the strawberries and water to a pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat.

Reduce to a low simmer for 15 minutes and mash the strawberries down during this time.

3. Add the chia seeds and continue to simmer on low for 5 minutes.

4. Let stand for 10 minutes before adding to jars.

5. Fill the jar leaving a halfinch of space at the top.

Allow to cool. These can be eaten up immediately or frozen for one year.

Makes eight 250 ml jars of healthy and delicious jam.

Some are easy.

Relaxation techniques to calm your nerves

is still a considerable concern for people throughout both the United States and Canada.

Though many people unfortunately regard stress as an inevitable side effect of adulthood, it’s important that men, women and even children avoid characterizing stress as simply a byproduct of a difficult and/ or successful life and career.

Even momentary stress, often referred to as “acute stress,” like the kind that appears when stuck in a traffic jam, can have a potentially devastating impact on overall health. According to the American Institute of Stress, acute stress causes an increase in heart rate and stronger contractions of the heart muscle, and some medical professionals have suggested there is a link between repeated episodes of acute stress and heart attack.

Regular use of relaxation techniques to reduce stress can help to counteract the effects of longterm stress, which the National Center for Complementary and

ince 2007, the American Psychological Association has commissioned an annual nationwide survey to examine the state of stress across the United States and understand its impact. The 2013 survey found that people continue to experience what they feel are unhealthy stress levels, with 42 per cent of adult respondents reporting that their stress levels have increased over the past five years. In addition, 44 per cent of survey respondents feel they aren’t doing enough to manage their stress, painting a potentially troubling future for people who cannot find better and healthier ways to manage their stress.

The picture is none the rosier in Canada, where data from the 2012 Canadian Community Health Survey revealed that nearly 23 per cent of Canadians aged 15 and older reported that most days were “quite a bit or extremely stressful. ” While those figures marked a slight improvement from the previous year’s survey, it’s apparent that stress

DENTAL IMPLANTS Dental implants are changing the way people live.

They are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.

The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything, knowing that teeth appear natural and

that facial contours will be preserved.

The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone where

teeth are missing.

These metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth.

Small posts that protrude through the gums are then attached to the implant.

These posts provide stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth.

ack pain can have a debilitating impact on those suffering from it.

But even those who have endured back pain might be unaware of just how far-reaching and expensive it can be.

According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, lower back pain is the foremost cause of job disability around the world. The NINDS study, in which researchers examined data from 117 studies conducted in 47 different countries, found that one in 10 people suffer from lower back pain, a discovery that no doubt startles many people, especially when considering the global scope of the study. A condition that affects 10 per cent of the world may seem impossible to prevent, but there are steps men and women suffering from back pain can take to make their condition more manageable. ◗ Contact your physician. A bruised back or mild stiffness may not require the help of a physician. Such issues will likely disappear shortly enough to make medical attention unnecessary.

But EmblemHealth recommends that people suffering with back pain visit a doctor if they experience numbness or tingling in their back, legs or arms; suffer pain after a fall; and/or are

When a physician visit is necessary, the doctor will attempt to understand just what’s causing the pain. Identifying the cause can help to develop an appropriate and effective course of treatment. The most common causes of back pain include bulging discs, pinched nerves, arthritis, muscle spasms or strains, and sciatica, a nerve condition that goes from the lower back through the hips. Some cases of back pain are a result of poor posture or tight muscles. ◗ Exercise regularly. When speaking with a physician, men and women who suffer from back pain should discuss exercise as a treatment method. Regular exercises such as riding a bicycle or

even prevent back pain. ◗ Sit up straight at work. Many people can trace their back pain to their offices, where uncomfortable chairs and poorly positioned desks don’t provide the necessary support men and women need to reduce or prevent back pain.

Chairs should provide adequate lower back support, and desks should be at a comfortable height that does not force the body to hunch or place itself in another awkward position just to get work done. When sitting, make sure you are sitting upright with your shoulders relaxed and your body against the back of your chair. ◗ Don’t resort to too much rest. Longtime sufferers of back pain no doubt recall a time when physicians would prescribe rest to treat back pain. But too much sitting around has now been shown to worsen back pain. If you must rest, do so for only a day or two before gradually becoming more active. Swimming or walking can be great and less physically taxing ways to acclimate your body to physical activity after resting for a day or two due to back pain.

Coping with back pain is often painful, but there are healthy ways for men and women to start feeling good again.

Movement stretches from photography to acrylic and into the texture of sculpture, batik and multimedia—showcasing art from 37 Chilliwack Visual Artist Association Members until July 26.

Getting lost in the art of ‘Movement’

BY DESSA BAYROCK Special to the Times

Y

ou might be surprised at the kind of art Chilliwack artists can create.

“It’s not just fuzzy ducks, you know,” says Chilliwack Visual Artists Association (CVAA) member Mary Main, cracking a smile.

The Chilliwack Cultural Centre gallery, currently home to a CVAA member exhibit, is a study in shape and texture.

The theme of the show is “Movement,” and the gallery hosts more than 60 interpretations of the concept.

Here three long, lithe dancers stretch under a glass case; here a salmon carved from Coquihalla jade seems to writhe under a white band of colour in the stone of its back; here a triptych of photographs shows a mountain in three vibrant hues as the sun slowly sets.

Main stops at one of her paintings, divided in half by a sharp line of colour.

Two dragons and two ships poke out from a swirl of blue on the bottom half, supplemented by a small card reading “Here Be Dragons.”

The idea of motion is clear in the rush

of blue water and white foam surrounding the ships, but the piece also shows the movement in how we view the world around us, Main explains—the dividing line separates the known and unknown worlds, inspired by ancient maps she saw on a trip to Portugal.

“That’s years and years ago now; it just stuck with me,” she says. She says some things just do, creeping quietly into her art decades later.

Mary-Lee Merz, another CVAA member, has two pieces hanging in the gallery. Her love of art, she says, springs from finding composition within chaos.

Her piece “Earth, Sky, Tree, Rock” has

three layers: lines of ink applied with a cedar brush, then colour, shading and emphasis through watercolour, and finally highlights of white acrylic.

The result is something abstract but with purpose—random, yet composed.

“I put down something that provides a structure, but it’s a chaotic structure,” Merz explains. “I’m not thinking about it. Just slap the brush down. And then look at all these marks! I could never consciously make all these little black ink marks.

That’s what excites me, so that’s what I do.

“If I knew it was going to be predictable, I wouldn’t be interested.”

But perhaps the most unexpected aspect of the show, CVAA president Judy Hurley says, was the reaction to two “naughty” pieces from the gallery walls. Both portrayed bare-chested women, and were some of the largest pieces on display.

After lively conversation at the gallery opening last Saturday, Hurley reluctantly made the decision to remove the pieces, inviting the artists to submit others in their stead.

Perhaps most surprisingly, the complaints came from within the

association itself.

“I was prepared to defend it on its artistic merit if there were complaints from the public, or the city, or the cultural centre, but I could not defend it against the members,” Hurley says, referring to a piece that was removed last Monday. Drawn in purple, it portrayed a distorted woman with what looked like tree branches growing through her body.

“We all think we’re so terribly modern, but not everybody is,” she says with a small smile. “I have to respect that.”

In every other aspect, however, she sees the show as a success. Thirty-five artists contributed work to the space, for a total of 67 pieces. The range of interpretation on the theme is wide and broad, stretching between mediums and subject matter effortlessly.

“When you have an individual artist showing on a theme, it can get quite monotonous,” Hurley says. “This one never gets monotonous. People come in time and time again. You see something new every time.”

It’s no surprise, she says, to see people coming back again and again to get lost in the art.

Local talent takes it to the street City decides to waive busking fee until June 30

BY DESSA BAYROCK Special to the Times Do you have a talent?

It’s the kind of thing that gets coaxed out of you at parties or picnics. Maybe it’s a guitar, a ukelele.

Maybe you can juggle. Maybe you practise magic tricks, or write songs for two voices in the quiet of your bedroom.

Whatever it is, the City of Chilliwack wants you.

The street entertainer program is up and running for the third year in a row—and Carolyn Marleau, recreation and culture administrator for the City, crosses her fingers that it will be the best year yet.

They already have more applications than previous years, and are hoping to add even more to the stack. The usual $40 application fee has been waived until the end of the month, which Marleau says was just one way they attempted to rouse more interest in the project.

And the way she sees it, there’s more than enough room for anyone who wants to busk in downtown Chilliwack this summer.

“We have anything from solo acts to duets to a dixie jazz band,” Marleau says. “We’re open to jugglers,

Paul J. Henderson/TIMES - file

Busker Jackson Overend wails out one of his original tunes entertaining passersby at Five Corners in 2008. performance art—we had a magician for the last two years, and he was very well received.”

A few performers have had their applications approved already, but plenty of space remains in the program: performers have seven performance spots to choose from in the downtown, and are allowed to perform any day of the week between 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

The biggest challenge, Marleau says, is getting the community to engage with buskers—recognizing the distinct difference between the street performers and panhandlers.

“It takes a lot of time for them to hone their skills and get them to the talent level that they’re at,” Marleau says. “We’re hoping that people will take a moment, stop, listen to the talent, and maybe acknowledge it

through a donation.”

Appreciating the summer performers is the first step towards ensuring the program continues.

After all, nothing announces the arrival of summer in downtown Chilliwack like the delicate strains of music floating between the leaves of the trees that line Wellington, above the clock tower and into the open air.

And with the weather growing warmer and more beautiful with every passing day, Marleau hopes downtown pedestrians will see the beauty both in summer and in the talent found in Chilliwack’s own back yard. ◗ More information about the program can be found at www.chilliwack.com/busker, or by calling 604-792-9311.

Jay Havens has a background in both mural-making and theatre, but this summer his artistic talents are bent towards creating a five-foot articulated puppet as one of FVRL’s Aboriginal artists-in-residence.

Havens & heron headed to town Inspiration for latest project came looking for him

BY DESSA BAYROCK Special to the Times

A

boriginal artist-in-residence Jay Havens will be at the Chilliwack library next Thursday, but he won’t be alone.

He’s bringing a five-foot puppet of a heron with him.

For Havens, the project takes place at a crossroads of theatre, visual arts and local culture.

“I feel like I’m just opening the door to something—a way of making and commenting on culture at the same time,” Havens says.

It was one of those lucky projects, he says, where the inspiration came looking for him.

Hiking up near Chehalis, he and a friend saw a heron hanging from a branch, dead.

“I originally thought that someone had been trapping and set a noose, just by the way it was hanging in the tree,” Havens says. “But we were so far from any path.

“The heron had been taking off or landing, I imagine, and it got caught by the neck by a branch— it ran into a branch, and it kind of snagged its neck. And it was just hanging there. The odds of that happening—” Havens trails off, shaking his

Jay Havens head. Finding the heron—dead, but still intact—is something he can only describe as “an experience.”

“It turned into a very in-depth discussion between the two of us,” he concludes. “We had to acknowledge that we were probably the only ones who were going to see this heron.”

Originally Havens’ proposal was for a raven puppet, but he was having difficulty wrangling the idea— the raven is tied more closely to northern aboriginal art, and is typically a trickster figure.

The heron, on the other hand, fit perfectly into the project—capturing the spirit of B.C.’s natural world.

But with the idea neatly salted away, Havens’ next challenge was figuring out how, exactly, to put it together.

The process and final goal evolved as the puppet took shape— an inverted approach to the craft.

“When you’re working in the theatre arts compared to visual arts, the theatre art gives you a framework to work in, right? You’re provided with a script; you have to work within what that script needs to produce a play,” Havens explains. “I’m kind of coming at it from the other direction, where we don’t have a story yet—I’m making the sculpture first.”

And over the past month, as Havens toured the Fraser Valley Regional Library system as Aboriginal artist-in-residence, the puppet has started to take shape with a mixture of found materials and traditional methods.

“I’m kind of weaving the puppet,” he says with a laugh. “It’s kind of an interesting combination of materials, too—willow branches, bits of bamboo bought at the dollar store—just little pieces of things that I find and will work.”

He hopes the project and the tour will open a dialogue—about local lore, traditional practices, and the rich culture of the Fraser Valley.

“It’s a two-way process, a reciprocal process between myself and the audience,” Havens says. “I’m just exploring and seeing what comes to me.” ◗ Havens will be at the Chilliwack Library on Thursday, June 26 from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. as he works on his puppet. All are welcome to drop by for conversation or to watch.
