The dilemma of ‘nightmare neighbours’ The Chilliwack Progress begins a two-part series on problem properties and the challenges they pose for neighbours, politicians and police.
heading south things remain largely unchanged. “Their efforts, individually, appear to be heroic,” Frank lamented. “But collectively, their response has been an abject failure.” What’s a guy to do?

The RCMP would say Frank’s done everything he should do, and more. In a lengthy chat with the Chilliwack Progress, Cpls. Len VanNieuwenhuizen and Nicole Delagorgendiere said the first and best thing anyone can do is tell them about an issue. “A lot of people are aware of a problem, and they assume the police know the problem’s there when we don’t,” VanNieuwenhuizen said. “There’s a lack of communication between the community and the police. We need to know a problem exists before we can act upon it.” “I’d say the squeaky wheel gets the grease,” Delagorgendiere added. That sounds a touch cavalier, but it’s not meant to be. Delagorgendiere conveys the reality of policing on a budget, and the fact that there’s only so much ‘grease’ to go around.

The second time he thought something might be wrong was when Frank noticed that he was rarely seeing the same people twice. People moved into the house and moved out as fast as they came. As he lay awake in bed, listening to the sounds of late-night activity drifting in through window, his heart sank. It dawned on Frank that he was now living next to a haven for squatters, a flophouse. One day, not too long after that, he sat by his upstairs window and watched the backyard lawn finally get cut. With a weed-eater. Displaying the kind of obsessive single-minded focus he associated with heavy crystal-meth users, Frank watched someone mow every

square inch of lawn, in a very large backyard, in the most inefficient manner. He added that to his notes. In an effort to do something, anything, about the growing problem next door, Frank had started taking pictures and keeping a book that detailed all that he saw. At this rate, he figured he may have to start buying those notebooks in bulk. At one point, a recreational vehicle (RV) had shown up in the neighbour’s driveway. He sat by his upstairs window, pen in hand, trying to describe a tragically comical scene as barbecue tanks were precariously perched on nearby sawhorses — they were setting up a makeshift heating system, one that would never, ever pass any safety inspection.
Frank watched them burn copper wire. He saw stacks of brand-new jeans tucked behind the shed, with price tags still on them. He saw people urinating in the back yard! He lost count of how many times his sleep was disturbed by some sort of late night ruckus. In a letter to the City of Chilliwack bylaw office in July of last year, Frank spelled out the details of one particularly awful night. “A group varying from four to five individuals has set up a tent and a ‘camp’ adjacent to the garden shed of said property,” he wrote. “For all these hours (approximately 11:30 p.m. to 6 a.m.), our residents were subjected to the vagaries of foul language, alleged drug use, raised voices and public urination.”
The most jarring moment of many moments that night was the sound of a baby, whimpering amidst all that chaos. One of Frank’s neighbours, a kindly older woman, was absolutely distraught the next morning, bawling her eyes out at the thought. Police were called twice that night, at 3 and 6 a.m., but whatever they said or did proved ineffective. “As I write this I realize I have not slept since 11:30 p.m. Sunday evening,” Frank continued in his letter. “Almost 20 hours ago.” Over time, he counted 34 visits to the house by police, fire and by-law enforcement officers. Five or six times he welcomed officers into his living room, and was always impressed by their legitimate concern. But, five years after things started

There probably isn’t a police force in existence that can handle every problem within its borders. The RCMP’s Crime Reduction Unit is small, and targets the houses that are considered the most ‘dire.’ “There is a capacity issue, and we prioritize based on frequency and severity of activity,” VanNieuwenhuizen elaborated. “We do surveil (watch) drug houses, but we have to have evidence to go to the next level with search warrants. If we feel we can do that with house A, in a timely fashion, we’ll target that house.” A search warrant is what allows police to go into a house, without warning. A handful of times last year the RCMP issued news releases about drug house busts, with people arrested and charged and drug paraphernalia seized. But, warrants are terribly difficult to get. Judges don’t view lightly the idea of police invading homes, and Continued: PROPERTIES/ p3

The first time he thought something might be wrong, Frank was looking at the grass. “Getting pretty long,” he thought, as he looked out of his upstairs bedroom window at his neighbour’s back yard. “Looks like it’s been a while since anyone mowed it.” Not entirely surprising. The house next door had mostly been vacant since 2007, when a young family moved out. Whoever owned it now had left it empty for several months, sitting there as a ripe target for ransackers. He’d heard them skulking about, going in to strip out the copper wiring and whatever else they could find. But, Frank had noticed people moving into the place lately, and was hopeful they’d get around to some upkeep. On a bright and beautiful latespring day, the retiree went downstairs to toodle around in his backyard garden, never suspecting his idyllic existence was at an end.

The problem property next door PROPERTIES from Front only issue warrants if they feel there’s exceptionally good reason to do so. It needs to be a ‘caught red handed’ sort of thing, where police are watching as someone leaves a house with a pocket full of meth. “And you have to have recency if you’re applying for a search warrant,” Delagorgendiere added. “You can’t say, ‘Well a month ago we caught someone walking with drugs.’ It has to be a yesterday kind of thing. It’s almost like fishing. You have a bad day, and the next day you get two or three and boom! You start piping away on that warrant.” Delagorgendiere said a pattern needs to be established, one that proves to the judge that there is nefarious activity taking place. “You have to show that pattern, have several instances of people leaving that house with drugs on their person,” she said. “And then have them saying, ‘Yeah, I just bought it from Tommy who lives at this house. This is what he sells.’” Even that isn’t as easy as it sounds. Police need ‘probable cause’ to stop someone for a search. They must have ‘sufficient reason, based upon known facts, to believe a crime has been committed or that certain property is connected with a crime.’ (www.dictionary.law.com) Knowing this, let’s go back for another look at Frank’s neighbours. Perhaps there’s no drug dealing going on in this house. It sounds more like a place where drugs are used than dealt. Therefore, police could probably sit there all week and not catch people leaving with ‘purchases.’ If the residents are inside the house doing drugs, there’s not much to do about it from a law enforcement point of view. Without a warrant, what grounds do they have to enter the house? None. They can respond to midnight calls from Frank and his neighbours and knock on the front door. But unless the people who are inside let the police past the doorstep, they are virtually powerless. “I called the police last week, because there was an argument at 2:30 in the morning — a guy pounding on a woman in the backyard and her screaming,” Frank said. “It all happened within five to seven minutes. But when the police arrived, they were back in the house and everything was fine.” So, does all of this mean that Frank and his neighbours are doomed to a life of sleepless nights and tanked property values? Not necessarily. The RCMP has allies in this fight, starting with the City of Chilliwack’s bylaw office. ❖❖❖
Like the police, bylaw officers are complaint-driven, relying on the public to tell them about problems. Then they spring into action. An example is overgrown lawns

that fall under the weed-control bylaw. Bylaw No. 3578 is on the books to control noxious weeds, brush, tall grass and other growth. When Fred’s neighbours let their lawn get taller than 25 centimetres, it becomes a bylaw violation. If Frank or someone else complains, bylaw officers will come out and take a look. If there is a legitimate concern, they’ll post a notice on the property and send a letter to the property owner, giving him/her/them five days to mow the lawn. If they don’t, the City sends a contractor to do the job and sends a $200 bill to the property owner(s). The City has another bylaw on the books to deal with ‘unsightly premises,’ though it’s trickier to enforce. Unsightly is a bit of a subjective term. Some children’s toys left out on a lawn may be unsightly to some, but wouldn’t be worthy of bylaw office response. The City’s definition of what is and isn’t unsightly is found online at chilliwack.ca and reads as follows: • the accumulation of building material, unless the owner or occupier of the parcel is in possession of a valid building permit in respect of the materials or it is stored in a closed building or structure such that the accumulation is not visible from another property or the road; • notwithstanding the City’s Zoning Bylaw, the storage or accumulation of all or part of a vehicle, as defined in the Motor Vehicle Act, which is not validly registered and licensed in accordance with the Motor Vehicle Act or capable of movement under its own power, unless stored in a closed building or structure such that the vehicle, or any portion of the vehicle, is not visible from another property or the road;

• the accumulation of filth, discarded materials or rubbish of any kind, whether or not for commercial purposes or as part of a trade, including but not limited to dead animals, paper, glass, metal, plastics, wire, ropes, machinery, tires, appliances, and any other scrap or salvage; • the accumulation or deposit of discarded or fallen building materials, including the surface, covering, or coating of a building or structure, or the building or structure itself or part of it which is missing all or a portion of its surface, covering, or coating materials; • the use of any premises, other than a parcel zoned for industrial uses pursuant to the City’s Zoning Bylaw, for the storage, repair, cleaning, maintenance, or servicing of mechanical equipment including bulldozers, graders, backhoes, or other similar equipment; • the presence of graffiti, whether in the form of pictures or words, on real property or on the surface of a premises located on the real property; • the accumulation of garbage not contained in a covered receptacle. In this case, bylaw officers will give the property owner(s) 10 days to tidy things up. If they don’t, they get slapped with a $500 fine and get another three days. If they still don’t do the job, they get another fine and the file likely gets bumped up the ladder to Council for a remediation order. Council gives the property owner(s) a definitive timeline to clean it up, and if they still don’t comply the City sends in one of those well-paid contractors. The idea is to hit property owners in the pocket book, often the most effective way to get someone’s

attention. The City of Surrey took it even farther in late February, introducing heavy fines for repeated ‘nuisance’ calls. Property owners in that jurisdiction who have more than three nuisance calls in a calendar year may be hit with a fine of $10,000 plus court costs. That may be steep enough to get Surrey’s negligent property owners moving, but if push comes to shove, there’s nothing in Surrey or Chilliwack’s basic bylaws that provides an ultimate solution. Bylaw enforcement can become a frustrating circular exercise. Property gets overgrown. City mows property. Property gets overgrown. City mows property. Property gets overgrown. City mows property. On and on and on. There’s no three-strikes-andyou’re-out provision, no relief for stressed-out neighbours. Chilliwack does have one more option with the Health and Safety Inspection Team. Including representatives from the fire department, a building inspector and an electrical inspector (BC Safety), this unit arguably has more teeth than police or bylaw officers, with a mandate to ensure buildings follow proper health, safety, electrical, fire and bylaw regulations. They don’t need a warrant to go into a house, only sufficient notice. A requirement to give 24 to 72 hours gives residents plenty of time to ‘prepare,’ and clean out anything that might be incriminating. But often, the poor upkeep on the outside of these houses only hints at the damage on the inside. The vast majority of people would consider these places unlivable.

Frank had a look at the inside of the neighbouring house. It’s been for sale for quite a while, though the tenants rarely let realtors or potential buyers in for a look. “Oh dear,” he said, when asked to describe the interior. “Put it this way, I couldn’t even bring myself to go downstairs. I went with a friend of mine who buys older houses and rebuilds them, and he said you’d need to put $100,000 into it to get it going again.” Copper wiring stripped out by ransackers has never properly been replaced. Windows are broken. “Just debris and dirt and car parts in the middle of the living room,” Frank said. “And the actual infrastructure of the place has been destroyed.” Yet even here, the powers of the Health and Safety Inspection Team are limited. They can’t tell the residents to vacuum the carpets and wash the walls. If someone wants to keep a disassembled 1983 Ford Ranger engine in the middle of their living room, no one’s going to stop them. If the smoke detectors don’t work, that’s a problem. If there are live wires poking through the walls, that’s a problem. If the roof is on the verge of collapsing or the floors look like they’re about to cave in, that’s a problem. The inspectors, often accompanied by RCMP officers who are there to keep the peace, will do their work, then come back with a shopping list of items that need to be rectified. The Health and Safety Inspection Team works with the property owner(s) to deal with those issues. In extreme scenarios the City has the ability to post a no-occupancy order. This is most often seen when one of these houses is involved in an RCMP ‘bust.’ If police go in and find a living room full of marijuana plants or a bedroom meth lab, one of these orders will be posted on the front door and the house will remain vacant until the property owner(s) act. They are required to apply for a re-occupancy permit, which involves paying all the bills to get the house back up to snuff. An industrial hygienist, who doesn’t work cheap, is called in to test for air quality, and needs to provide certification. If all conditions are met, a nooccupancy order can be lifted, and in most cases property owners cooperate. The City has issued approximately 350 no-occupancy orders over the last decade, and only a handful haven’t been lifted. Sometimes it takes a year or two, but eventually these houses get taken care of. That’s a long time to wait for some residents. ❖ On Friday, The Progress talks to more home owners who say they’re tired of waiting.

Motorists on the south side of Chilliwack may have noticed the new single-lane roundabouts under construction on Tyson Road. Two related road closures are coming this weekend to allow the contractor, Martens Asphalt, to complete repaving on the roundabouts. The first intersection closure is at Tyson and Keith Wilson, July 25 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. The second closure is at Tyson and Watson, July 26 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Detour routes for through traffic will be in place for these two days. There is also a downloadable detour map available on the City of Chilliwack site.

Motorists make their way through the new roundabout at Keith Wilson and Tyson roads last week. The intersection will be closed Friday, July 25, and the other new roundabout at Tyson and Watson roads will be closed Saturday, July 26. Both closures take place from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
The roundabout projects are being completed by designbuild project team of Martens Asphalt Ltd. /McElhanney Engineering/ Utility relocations of Hydro and Telus
poles started in April and were completed in June. Substantial project completion is expected by September 15. The roundabouts replace the four-way stops at those loca-
tions, and are expected to help improve the flow of traffic, and reduce bottleneck situations on the increasingly busy side of Chilliwack. “Thank you for your understanding during
these closures and through to project completion at the beginning of September,” reads the notification to residents online at chilliwack.com. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

pushed back to at least July 23. The pre-season forecast – based on the fact this year’s return is the spawn of the unusually large 2010 run – projected 23 million sockeye would likely come back to the Fraser this summer, and it might run as high as 72 million. Other challenges are ahead for the migrating fish if they prove to be merely late, not missing. Hot weather and a smaller-than-average Interior snowpack is likely to result in more sockeye dying than usual on their journey upriver. “Sustained exposure of sockeye to Fraser River water temperatures in this range may slow their migration and cause elevated levels of pre-spawn mortality,” the PSC’s announcement cautioned.

NDP ‘wrong’ on university pay claims Caps exceeded at UFV, VIU and Capilano: Eby Jeff Nagel Black Press
Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk
enforces the policy, has since refused to disclose pay caps for other B.C. post-secondary institutions, prompting the Opposition to accuse Virk of covering up further violations in the wake of a recent probe of overpayments at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. But in a statement emailed by his office, Virk said the caps on presidents’ total compensation do not apply to other senior post-secondary executives, who are instead subject to a salary range approved by
PSEC. Those ranges don’t include additional benefits and pension, which he said the NDP mistakenly counted in its calculations, adding about 20 per cent. Virk also said total compensation for presidents can fluctuate year to year due to higher benefit and pension costs beyond the employer’s control, and due to one-time payments such as unused vacation payouts. “The critic’s misinterpretation is intended to make it

Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk says the NDP is wrong in its claims that more B.C. universities have paid senior executives more than permitted under salary caps set by the provincial government. The NDP obtained salary cap details for three universities – the University of the Fraser Valley, Capilano University and Vancouver Island University – and said reported compensation paid to 14 executives at the schools exceeded their caps by a total of more than $1.1 million over three years. Financial disclosures show the three universities paid their presidents between $230,000 and $245,000 in the last year – more in each case than their $225,000 caps, according to the NDP. “What is the point in having caps in the first place if they’re basically meaningless and you’re not going to enforce them?� asked NDP advanced education critic David Eby. The Public Sector Employers’ Council, which
appear that these individuals are being paid outside the compensation they should be paid,� he said. Virk said institution board chairs have given signed confirmations that that executive compensation was paid out in line with approved plans. Virk previously faced calls to resign for his role before being elected MLA as a director on the board of Kwantlen, where an investigation found extra $50,000 signing bonuses under the guise of consulting fees were made to the president and vice-president to circumvent their pay caps. Virk has admitted he erred in agreeing to the payments in 2010-12, saying he wasn’t properly informed of the rules. Virk told Eby in a May 27 letter that the precise caps on public sector pay aren’t made public so they don’t become a negotiating floor on salary when governing boards are in talks to hire new executives. Eby said continued secrecy around pay caps gives the appearance of a minister unwilling to properly enforce rules that he himself has broken. He said the situation is a mess because some schools have observed the caps, Kwantlen sought to hide extra payments and others “blatantly� spent more.

Embrace the summer
The Chilliwack

R AESIDE
There’s no doubt summer arrived in earnest last week, sending temperatures to near record levels across the region. Many of us have sought solace as we can. Snapping up fans and mini air conditioners off the shelves. Heading to the beach or the local spray park. Heck, even dipping our feet in a bucket full of ice water. Whatever works. Some of us are lucky enough to get out of town for a while, camping or holidaying near the ocean or a lake where we can cool off. The rest of us, those in town out of choice or necessity, may be tied to our usual routines and responsibilities. If possible, this is a good time to break out a little. Forget the routines, let the dishes wait, put the projects around the house on hold. This kind of weather is only here for a brief stretch. We’ll be back to wet and cool before we know it. By drinking our fill of what we’ve been given today, we might—just possibly—be a little more able to savour those romantic, drizzly West Coast days that come in earnest by November. Head down to the beach with a basket of food and a blanket after work to savour the sunset. Invite some friends over for a barbecue, or meet them in one of our fantastic local parks for a picnic. Locally, if you want to be on the river, try the Vedder Rotary Trail. But don’t limit yourself to what you know. Explore the new Peach Trail that starts at the Lickman Road parking lot. Or, pack some water and continue along past the Blue Heron Nature Reserve. If you want to be on the lake, Cultus is a natural choice. But there is also Chilliwack Lake, and easily accessible trails like the one to Lindeman Lake. In town, the last two Party in the Parks, proved there is plenty of energy even on the hottest days of the year. There are two more events in August, so mark your calendar. And, of course, the 142nd annual Chilliwack Fair is just around the corner. Summer’s here. Embrace it. – Black Press
B.C. V IEWS
B.C. is back in black, but deep in debt VICTORIA – When the audited public accounts confirmed a $353 million surplus for the last fiscal year, B.C. Liberal political staff were quick to remind reporters of the NDP’s main theme from last year’s election campaign. Pages of election quotes from almost every NDP MLA were waiting to be distributed. It was a “bogus budget,” one of the more polite tags applied to the government’s pre-election fiscal plan. “It underestimates the costs in a whole bunch of ministries and we’re going to have to review that because all of the decisions that we propose in our platform will have to be implemented,” said then-leader Adrian Dix, describing the NDP’s plans to tax and spend more. Skeena MLA Robin Austin targeted health care in the budget debate: “Bearing in mind that our
population is actually increasing, bearing in mind that our population is aging, I think it’s very unrealistic to think we can actually limit health care expenditures to 2.7 per cent.” As it turned out, health care spending grew by just over two per cent. It still went up by $360 million from Tom FLETCHER the previous year, but after annual increases of six or seven per cent had become the norm, this is quite an achievement. New agreements remain to be negotiated with doctors and nurses, so we’re unlikely to see the same cost control results for the current year. Ottawa’s health care transfer payment formula has changed,
and increases are to be capped at three per cent a year by 2016, so this is the kind of spending restraint all provinces are expected to produce. Education was the only other ministry to receive significant extra funding last year, up $299 million despite continuing enrolment decline. Like health, the education budget goes up every year, and these increases, along with strong student performance results, expose the rhetoric of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation about a cash-starved system for what it is. But the biggest fabrication of last year’s election was the “debt free B.C.” slogan emblazoned on the side of Premier Christy Clark’s campaign bus. The public accounts confirm that the province’s total debt rose to just over $60 billion, the latest of a series of increases since 2008.

The much-touted balanced budget is on the operating side, while the province continues to pile up debt to pay for the Port Mann mega-project, hospitals, schools and other big infrastructure. Finance Minister Mike de Jong emphasized the difference between capital and operating expenditures. “We’re borrowing to build as opposed to paying for the groceries,” he said. “Debt free B.C.” was not an outright misrepresentation, merely one of the most far-fetched promises ever delivered in the history of B.C. politics. The legislature is to convene in October so the B.C. Liberals can pass a taxation framework for the nascent liquefied natural gas industry, which the government hopes will generate the revenues to ultimately pay off the province’s $60-billion
mortgage. Meanwhile there is more capital debt ahead. The cabinet is expected to green-light the Site C dam on the Peace River this fall, a decade-long project estimated to cost $8 billion. Along with the public accounts, the finance ministry released a list of surplus land sales. The sale of 50-odd properties, some of them closed schools, netted the provincial treasury about $310 million, which accounts for most of the surplus. Was this “selling off the family silverware to try and balance the books,” as now-NDP leader John Horgan termed it before the election? It’s certainly not a revenue source to be matched next year.

Keep public education secular
Teach all the creation stories
Re: Maria Alleckna’s letter of July 19 (‘Creationism should get equal time in school): The place to teach secular scientific theories (evolution, Big Bang) is in the secular public school system, funded by taxpayers of all faiths. The place to teach alternate explanations of how things came to be is in private schools, churches, mosques, temples, etc., funded by specific faiths. While Canada’s religious heritage is partly Christian, it is also partly First Nations, and, more recently, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh,
If we start teaching creationism in public schools we, as Canadians, have constitutionally agreed not to discriminate by religion. I would be happy to see a class where kids can learn about the Christian genesis story, the Sto:lo genesis story, the Hindu genesis story, and the many other creation theories.
Buddhist, and Humanist, all of which have their own views of our origins. The parents will espouse whichever view they want their children to accept. The place to debate and discuss the various explanations for existence is at the adult level, not at the schoolchild level. Freedom of choice arises with the parents, not with the schoolchild. When children approach or become adults, that is when they should and will have true freedom of choice. Robert Blacklock

Dialogue needed on key federal issues $100 million. Canadian politicians continue to press for sanctions and other war-like regulations against Russia in the current Ukraine conflict. Invasion of privacy rates quite high on my need to know list. It is common knowledge that all electronic communications are recorded and examined. Police departments proudly proclaim that they will access your communications to determine your guilt. CSIS has been caught snooping on the cell phones of random airport arrivals. It is no secret that we are moving into a society where we are totally watched and totally regulated. Do Canadians really agree and promote all these agendas? I meet
people who tell me that I am delusional because I believe that we live in a democratic society where the word of the people is the law. But, I was taught that my MP was my voice, or at least the voice of my neighbours and me, in Ottawa. I don’t recall the legislation that changed that relationship. Why then does Mark Strahl not at least mention any of the previous federal issues in his “Have your say” brochure? I urge Chilliwack voters to use his postage paid, return envelope to direct Mr. Strahl to the adult issues that are facing Canada as a nation. As in the discussion of the highway speed limit, we may see some changes made.

I am impressed with the provincial government initiative to review highway speed limits. The review generated public discussion, and this discussion prompted a change to some posted speed limits. I believe this type of discussion should continue to be encouraged and initiated by our elected public servants on a much wider range of topics. Federally, voters have heard very little about Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP), which could be seen as an agreement to create the North American Union, an economic state much like the EU. Canadians should also be discussing a similar deal, the TransPacific Partnership (TPP), which is

Exceptional season of entertainment is coming Chilliwack Cultural Centre unveils its big lineup for the 2014-15 season Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Hold on to your hats. The 2014-15 season at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre is going to be “exciting, enthralling and utterly exceptional,” said artistic director Michael Cade. His presentation Monday night on behalf of the Chilliwack Arts and Cultural Centre Society rolled out an array of brand-new shows, alongside some reliable returning favourites. There are freaky Fringe shows, inti-
mate concerts, funky films, and mammoth productions coming. September will see performances by Lisa Brokop (Sept. 3) and Louisiana Hayride (Sept. 18). To celebrate the Cultural Centre’s 4th Anniversary, they’re bringing in a Vancouver blues duo, known as The Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer, on Oct. 4. It’s blues music “played like it was meant to be played,” said Cade, with wailing vocals, guitar, and harmonica, but also with unique foot-powered percussion. There are dazzling kid-friendly shows like Raven Stories (Oct. 19), tons of talented tribute artists and quirky comedians booked, too. OK, you want Fringe? They’ve got
some wicked Fringe style shows on the way. Try something called 2 For Tea, with James and Jamsey on the main stage Oct. 3 and 5. The physical performers with a background in clowning, come together over a cup of tea, for semi-improvised fun and hilarity. “Take a risk! Come see it,” Cade coaxed. Another of the standouts will be the hit musical production of Avenue Q, by the Arts Club Theatre Company, on Oct. 10 and 11. “It’s rude, crude, obnoxious and wildly funny,” said Cade. The show capped off the season for the Arts Club and it drew their biggest audience by far. It will also be the “largest show”

ever brought to Chilliwack, added Cade, and the most expensive, too with a ticket price of $49. It’s an awardwinning Broadway show for adults. Avenue Q is in no way connected to the Jim Henson Company or Sesame Workshop, he underlined, and the show is not for everyone, due to its racy adult content, profanity and full puppet nudity. It actually fits in with the Society’s broad-based mandate to bring the “widest possible range of cultural events and opportunities” to Chilliwack. “Part of our goal is to attract people that wouldn’t normally come out to a show like this,” Cade explained to the small crowd gathered in the Rotary Continued: SEASON/ p13

Secondar y Characters Musical Theatre presents James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods, July 24-August 3 at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. Everyone’s favourite storybook characters are brought together in this timeless show. The story follows a Baker (Andrew Smith) and his wife (Shelley Wojcik) who wish to have a child, Cinderella (Kaitie Allinger) who wishes to attend the King’s Festival, and Jack (William Tippery) who wishes his cow would give milk. When the baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a witch’s curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone’s wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results. Director/Choreographer Adam Charles (recently with Western Canada Theatre, Arts Club, and the

QUESTION:
What is a night guard, and why should I wear one? ANSWER: A night guard or an occlusal splint is an acrylic oral appliance prescribed by your dentist to be worn for a specific reason(s). There are many types of guards that exist with each type serving a specific purpose.
200 sq. ft. lots or less
It is important to distinguish between sport guards and occlusal guards. Sport guards are soft, flexible rubber-like appliances that are designed to help protect your teeth from injury incurred during a sporting event. Occlusal guards are worn to help protect teeth and jaw joints from trauma due to some kind of oral habit or dysfunction i.e.) grinding, clenching, poor bite, TMD (temporo-mandibular disease/dysfunction) etc. Signs you may need an occlusal guard: • Clicking jaw joints • Pain/discomfort in jaw joints • Tired chewing muscles • Clenching/grinding habits • Headaches • Sensitive teeth • Many porcelain restorations What’s involved in getting a guard? The process is quite simple and quick. It involves two appointments, both requiring no freezing! The first visit is to take impressions (mold) of your teeth; the second to insert and adjust the guard to ensure it is comfortable. The two appointments are usually 30 minutes long and between 1-2 weeks apart. During this time a dental lab custom fabricates the guard for a very precise fit. There are other reasons that an occlusal guard may be recommended. Your dentist can diagnose whether you could benefit from a guard and explain the pros and cons for your particular situation.

Chilliwack Cultural Centre
I had the opportunity to attend a breakout session at the recent Child and Youth Committee’s Conversation on Chilliwack’s Children that was on supported health for the whole family. Participants heard a snapshot of several new and innovative programs in Chilliwack geared towards the health and well being of the individual, family and community as a Eryn whole. WICKER Ron Plowright spoke of the Physician Practice Support program, which teaches participating doctors clinical practice or administrative items. Currently, a module is being offered on Child and Youth Mental Health where doctors are trained and supported to screen, assess, and intervene at their level for mild and moderate concerns relating to depression, anxiety, ADHD, and behavioural problems. The program consists of a learning session, action period where they can try out a three-question universal screening tool, another learning session, and a follow up. Community agencies and service providers are also invited to participate to build upon their supportive and collaborative approach to working with medical professionals. Katrina Bepple, a member of the Chilliwack Health Care
Foundation, spoke about two initiatives: the Primary Care Clinic and GP for Me program for Chilliwack, Agassiz, Hope, and Seabird Island. The program is currently in the information gathering phase and works to improve access to doctors for families, born out of research demonstrating that continuous supported care by a doctor or nurse practitioner predicts better long-term health outcomes; and the 5, 2, 1, 0 program, which promotes health in our children and youth by providing consistent health messages that kids can see every day everywhere they go, and stands for five or more fruits and vegetables daily, two hours or less recreational screen time, one hour or more of physical activity, and zero sugary drinks. Chelsea, Chair of the Chilliwack Food Matters Committee, and Dan, a board member, spoke of Chilliwack Food Matters, started as a UFV social work program to bring together stakeholders interested in healthy and locally sustainable food. There is a gleaning program with receiving partners, as well as plant a row/grow a row with seed kits on how to learn to grow vegetables – including a donation component – a community garden program and others. They are committed to trying to create a sustainable and fair local food system in Chilliwack for all people, and would be very happy to welcome more volunteers.
Mark Littlefield, a ministry contractor, spoke of the Ulysses agreement, a conversational process for engaging with a person about their being mentally well (not mentally ill), which results in a written plan to organize and manage life should they become unwell. This plan asks individuals key questions, including: Who is part of your community? Who cares for you? Who supports you? How do you feel cared for by them? What does being unwell look like for you? What do you want them to do should you become unwell? Who do you want to look after your child? and Why do they need to be happy and feel safe? Andrea Gieselman of the YMCA spoke of the MEND program: Mind, Exercise, Nutrition, Do it! MEND is a free 10-week program geared towards families with children aged 7-13 who are above a healthy weight, and focuses on living a healthy lifestyle, healthy eating, how to read labels, how be more active, and setting healthy goals. A combination of information and activity sessions, the program also partners with the City of Chilliwack to provide leisure passes to the families involved. The mission is to help families raise healthy and resilient kids who can take responsibility for their own health. Eryn Wicker (M.A., RCC) is a mental health clinician with the Child and Youth Mental Health team with the Ministry of Children and family Development in Chilliwack, BC.

Parry holds on for Men’s Open title North Vancouver’s Bryn Parry successfully defended his title at the Chilliwack Men’s Open golf tournament, held last weekend at the Chilliwack Golf Club. Parry scorched his way through the two-round tournament, firing a nine-under-par 135 to beat runnerup Matt Makinson (Vancouver Golf Club) by three strokes. Parry birdied eight of 18 holes in Saturday’s opening round, carrying a three shot lead into Sunday. He cooled off slightly in the round two, but did enough to hold off Makinson and 38 other professionals for the title. Kerry Grittner (CGC) competed on the amateur side, but finished fourth overall in the entire field with a five-under-par 139. He tied Parry for the best opening round, carding birdies on seven holes, with no bogeys. Chad McAdie was the next best local. Representing the CGC, he fired a two-under-par 142 and tied for ninth. Royalwood’s Galen Johnston tied for 14th with Jared Rembel (CGC), each of them carding even-par 144s. Colin Holding (CGC), Curtis Baldwin (The Falls), Lyle Brown (CGC) and Michael McGimpsey finished in a four way tie for 27th. Nigel Sinnott (CGC) and Joel McCall (CGC) tied for 35th. Danny Hebert (CGC) snuck into the top 50 with an eight-over-par 152 that left him tied for 41st. For the full leaderboard, click the live scoring/leaderboard tab at vancouvergolftour.com

The Chilliwack Cougars U-18 midget AAA baseball team will host the AAA Western Canadian Baseball Championship tour-
nament Aug. 21-24 at Fairfield Island. Chilliwack has hosted the last two provincial championships at this level, but hosting the Westerns presents new challenges. Mostly financial. At provincials, teams pay an entry fee and find their own way to Chilliwack. The Wester n Canadian Baseball
Association does not allow the charging of entry fees. And yet, for Westerns, CMBA will be responsible for transporting each of the five visiting teams to and from the airport. The association will also have to pay for umpires and any other tourney costs. CMBA considers it worth the trouble to enhance Chilliwack’s
reputation for hosting high-level baseball events, but the organizing committee is asking for help. Anyone wishing to donate to the cause can contact CMBA president Brent Bogart by email at cmbapres@gmail. com or phone at 604799-1793. Find local baseball info online at cmb.goalline.ca

Clapp had an uneven first round. He carded birdies on four holes and bogeys on two to finish with a two-underpar 70. He started the second round with a birdie on the third hole, but bogeyed four others enroute to a two-over-par 74.
G lf F re CCS
That left him straddling the cut-line. He ended up missing by just one stroke. It’s the third time in his last four outings that Clapp’s left early as he continues to adjust to life on the high-calibre tour. His next chance at redemption comes July
31 to Aug. 3 at the ATB Financial Classic. The Sirocco Golf Club in Calgary hosts the tournament, with a total prize purse of $150,000. Follow Clapp, an instructor at the Chilliwack Golf Club, online at pgatour.com/ canada/en_us.html

Eye opening experience Barry Stewart, Black Press
“We’ve never played a game of fastball in our lives — but we’re going to the provincials!” That’s about how it went for the U-14 Hope Dodgers, a group of 10 boys who combined their athleticism with good coaching… and almost won a game or two at the playdowns in Surrey two weekends ago. “All boys’ teams qualify for the provincials, because the numbers are so low,” said head coach and Chilliwack native Gerry Dyson. “There were eight teams in the U-14 group. “Our guys had never even seen a lined field or an umpire before,” Dyson continued, chuckling. “But we got so many compliments because they improved so much over the weekend. One of the umpires asked if he could speak to the team, because he was so impressed with their play — and on Sunday, a coach from South Surrey asked to speak to the boys.” The boys had been practicing all spring, but with the bulk of boys turning to hardball in the larger centres, it’s hard to find fastball opponents without putting in a lot of travel. Dyson said the last time Hope sent a team to the provincials — peewee champions, in fact — was in 2007, the year before Hope Minor Softball took a long break before being resurrected last year. Dyson, who graduated from
the old Hope Secondary in 1970, now lives in Chilliwack. He and his wife Susanne have extensive experience in fastball and they offered to help Hope Minor Softball get back on its feet, sharing their own coaching skills and bringing in other expertise. “The Dodgers uniforms the boys wore on the weekend were donated by Langley Baseball through George Morneau (father of Justin Morneau, first baseman for the Colorado Rockies),” said Dyson. “George was one of Susanne’s first coaches and when he came up to Hope in May to do a coaching and player clinic he brought a number of uniforms and baseball gloves to donate to Hope Minor Softball.” The Hope Dodgers may have been short on real game experience — but the Dysons and assistant coaches Don Wiens and Rob Tiessen had been working with the boys to bring up their skills. One big issue was getting the batters up to pace with the kinds of speeds they’d be seeing in competition. “Hope Minor Ball has a pitching machine and we knew what speeds we needed, so we set it up for that,” said Dyson. “And Susanne was one of the top pitchers in Canada at one time, so she pitched to them, too. The boys were really keen.” With only eight players, the team picked up Devon Higginbottom and Tyson Goglin from the U-12 team. At this age, all 10 players were on the batting rotation, though
only nine could play in the field, said Dyson. When Goglin hurt his ankle after the second game, there were no spares. Marcus James handled most of the pitching duties, with some help from Brandon Pennell and Damon Campbell. The first three games were forgettable, as the boys learned their way while playing the top teams of the tournament. Vanessa James said of Saturday’s three games, “They lost 15-5 in the first game but came close with a score of 7-6 against Cloverdale in the second game. We were under a time constraint for that one, otherwise we might’ve had them. We had a 20 minute break then played the same team again. We lost 7-4 that time, but it sure was an exciting game.” Game MVPs from the four round-robin games were Marcus James, Devon Higginbottom, Owen Tunnicliffe and Damon Campbell. Boston Bar’s Jerome Campbell got the team’s best hit, a triple. He also won the slugging competition, with a hit of 192 feet (58.5 meters) in the air, said the coach. Kade Hansen, Dawson Pelletier and Creighton Tays rounded out the roster. Plans for next year? “The boys were talking with their buddies but it was too late to sign them up,” said Dyson. “We’d like to form a U-14 and a U-16 team next year — and if there’s enough interest, we will run pitching clinics in the winter.”
