aime Tiller wept openly before and after a BC Supreme Court jury declared her guilty of theft and breach of trust for stealing $2,800 from the Chilliwack RCMP exhibit room in 2011.

The nine women and three men of the jury deliberated for nearly two days before deciding on the guilty verdicts Friday morning.

Tiller faces the possibility of jail time, but lead EB IRST C r o w n L o u i s a First reported on Winn said a decichilliwacktimes.com sion hasn’t been made on how long they will ask for. Crown will also ask that Tiller be ordered to pay restitution to the City of Chilliwack for the stolen money.

Justice Miriam Gropper ordered a pre-sentence report and a psychological report be completed, the latter of which was requested by Tiller’s lawyer, Gurpreet Gill.

The case against Tiller, who was an exhibit custodian at the Chilliwack detachment and a municipal employee, included no direct evidence but

THE LONG ROAD TO RECOVERY

Paul J. Henderson/TIMES

Spiritual advisors “Mama” and “Papa” at VisionQuest at The Creek in the Chilliwack River Valley say the drug-addicted men they deal with are “completely broken.”

Practical and laudable goal Ninety per cent of offenders serving sentences in provincial and federal institutions are addicted to something, be it alcohol or crystal meth or heroin or oxycontin or other substances. Much of the criminality that occurs on the streets of Chilliwack and across British

Columbia stems from these addictions and can be directly attributed to those habits.

So getting at the root cause by tackling the addictions of the Lower Mainland’s most prolific offenders is a solution that is sensible, compassionate, practical and will save taxpayers money, according to Laurie

Throness who is MLA for Chilliwack-Hope but also Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Justice.

“If we want to stop the revolving door that results from addiction then we need to provide people with long-term treatment that leads to recovery,” he said.

Stopping crime before it happens is the practical goal of drug treatment and keeping Art Director: Creative Director: people out of prison saves taxpayers money. There is a furtherCopywriter: saving at VisionQuest as it Account Manager: costs just $30.90 a day to house one client while it costs more than $200 a day in a provincial correctional facility.

“We spend over $1 billion a year in our justice system,” Throness said. “If we could reduce this by reducing addiction to drugs and alcohol then that would be a huge long-term savings.”

Throness added there is a positive “cost” as well, as recovered addicts become contributing citizens.

His position on the direct and indirect cost savings of a place like VisionQuest echoes the sentiments of the facility’s executive director, Jim O’Rourke.

“What we do is we dust you off and we teach you to become a taxpayer,” he said during an interview in his office at the facility. “It doesn’t work for everybody, nothing does.”

O’Rourke is firm about the mission of VisionQuest and unapologetic about the side effects.

“The philosophy of VisionQuest is this is their one shot of getting better and if they don’t get better the judge has no problem throwing the book at them. This is kind of like last chance for romance. . . . I’m a pretty good bang for your buck and I give you back a taxpayer at the end of the day.”

O’Rourke, as with all the employees who work at VisionQuest, is a recovering addict and an ex-con himself.

“My convictions were for importation of narcotics and my affiliations were gangs,” he said. “I was naughty. But I haven’t broken the law in 24 years and I’m 24 years clean.”

› News Smoking ban approved City council approved a new bylaw regarding smoking in outdoor public spaces at their Tuesday meeting this week.

The purpose of the bylaw will be to regulate places where smoking is allowed, therefore reducing the risk of fires as well as second hand smoke.

The bylaw states that smoking will be banned at all parks, playgrounds and outdoor public spaces, within 15 metres of the entrance to any public pool or ice rinks, within 10 metres of a bus stop and on any trails.

The bylaw will also ban anyone from littering cigarettes, as well as matches or any other burning substances.

Over the past year the fire department has reported a 200 per cent increase in outdoor fires with 134 this year, compared to last year’s 45, and Mayor Gaetz predicts that the bylaw will help reduce those numbers.

“I think the current weather conditions, it’s been obvious to everyone, have pushed it in that direction of trying to protect our trails and our parks,” she said. “You only have to walk down the Rotary Trail right now and see the brown

➤ NEWS BRIEFS grass and see how vulnerable that area is to know that that’s not an area for cigarette butts.”

The bylaw will be in effect and enforced 30 days after it’s approval.

Salmon fishing closure An immediate closure of all recreational salmon fishing on the Fraser River between the CPR bridge in Mission to the Alexandra Bridge, north of Spuzzum was announced by Fisheries and Oceans Canada Friday.

Effective until further notice, the Region 2 closure is due to summer run sockeye salmon estimates and record water temperatures in the river creating a conservation concern.

The Department of Fisheries aims to provide priority to First Nations’ needs and minimize impacts to the sockeye population.

Fishing for trout, sturgeon, steelhead and other non-salmon species is not affected by the announcement, and Fraser River pink and chum salmon opportunities are anticipated to be open later

in the season “subject to available abundance,” according to the Department website.

Abattoir hearing cancelled Tuesday night’s public hearing for the proposed Brannick Place abattoir rezoning was cancelled as a result of property boundary adjustments, according to a city spokesperson.

After the first reading part of the site in question was sold to a food processor, necessitating a redrawing of the perimeter.

To ensure correct procedure, the city rescinded the first reading and will reintroduce it at the Sept. 1 council meeting with the updated boundary information.

The facility would be 22,000 square feet and have a daily processing capacity of up to 100 beef cows.

The Brannick Place location under discussion for rezoning to accommodate the abattoir is in close proximity to a number of Chilliwack businesses and the Vibe apartment complex on Yale Road.

An Alberta-based industry expert who was hired to assess potential impact of the business said odour would be undetectable to passersby.

› News Hundreds of calls for police

Suspicious deposit key to finding Tiller guilty

{ VISIONQUEST, from page A3 }

{ TILLER, from page A1 }

offenders and even men with gang affiliations living unsupervised in seven cabins on a property 36 kilometres up the Chilliwack River Valley.

“There are literally hundreds of [RCMP] calls generated from this one facility,” Coun. Jason Lum said.

“The crux of our concern is how are you giving us the assurance that you are going to fix the problem?

How are you going to solve the problem of the walkaways? You say that you don’t allow sexual offenders in your location but . . . the policy side may not be matching up with reality.”

Chilliwack RCMP Superintendent Deanne Burleigh confirms there have been a number of cases when her officers have re-arrested VisionQuest walkaways who have a history of sexual offences.

Burleigh also provided statistics to show that there were 432 RCMP files connected to this one facility in the first 27 months it existed up to June 2015. That is 16 per month, or every other day that an officer is called to deal with a problem at VisionQuest.

Usually it’s a “runner.”

During a recent visit, both Klassen and O’Rourke didn’t hide the fact that clients take off all the time.

Five minutes into a tour, Klassen was asked how many clients were at the facility.

“About 40, less, it’s kind of low right now,” he said. “Summer brings on runners.. . . . It’s a bit of a run back to town and during the winter you don’t get the traffic so you can’t hitchhike.”

O’Rourke confirmed the number that July day the Times visited was 38 at a facility with a capacity for 70.

“In summertime it’s easier to sleep in the park,” O’Rourke said.

“In September we’ll be full, soon as it starts to rain.”

Valley resident Jodie Crawford

was entirely circumstantial in nature.

That circumstantial evidence included the fact that in one instance in 2011, Tiller deposited 42 $20 bills, 12 $10 bills and eight $5 bills into a bank account, for a total of $1,000. Those denominations precisely matched money missing from an exhibit file.

Two other stolen exhibits—one of $1,000 and one of $800—also were made up of denominations matching exact amounts deposited into Tiller’s own and her landlord’s bank accounts.

“This is a simple case about a person who stole three cash exhibits and deposited them for her own benefit,” Winn told the jury of nine women and three men in her final submissions.

“Those three cash exhibits matched exactly the three deposits Jaime Tiller made.”

While Tiller was convicted for stealing $2,800 from three files, she was first charged with theft of close to $40,000 connected to 19 RCMP exhibits.

Crown decided it could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt Tiller was responsible for the 16 other missing exhibits.

In her final submissions, Tiller’s defence lawyer Gurpreet Gill said the Crown’s theory had some “serious, serious flaws.” She pointed to the circumstantial evidence of the case—there were no fingerprints or DNA, no witnesses saw Tiller steal the money and investigators could not even say when the cash went missing.

Gill told the jury that it was just as likely another exhibit custodian, Don Reimer, was the culprit.

Despite his extensive experience and his work “straightening out” the exhibit room, Reimer was twice overlooked for a promotion by a supervisor he said did not like him.

Gill argued that Reimer was the one constant in the exhibit room over the period of time the money was deposited.

“Is it just a coincidence that it was Mr. Reimer who was the last one to touch these cash exhibits?” she asked.

Final submissions after the three-week trial wrapped up Tuesday afternoon, and Justice Miriam Gropper issued her charge to the jury Wednesday morning. By Wednesday afternoon the jury began its deliberations.

City of Chilliwack director of corporate services Rob Carnegie and CUPE local 548 union president Bryan Bickley, both of whom testified in the case, were in the gallery to hear the verdict Friday.

Sentencing is expected to take place in the fall.

Paul J. Henderson/TIMES

Executive director Jim O’Rourke says VisionQuest location is as good as they come in this province. said she and her family camp in the area, and she is concerned that sexual offenders could we walking loose.

O’Rourke is unapologetic.

“We’ve got campers in the valley, guys growing pot down this road, gang members living on the street shooting it up half the night.

My guys here are the least of your problems.”

Throness agrees and while he is not happy about the RCMP call volume (and he thinks he has a solution) he said there are nearly 100 drug treatment facilities in B.C. and they are integral as part of the long-term solution to the high rate of recidivism.

“We cannot have 98 communities saying ‘not here.’ These people are here, they are everywhere in B.C. and we have to deal with this problem. VisionQuest is a very isolated place. It’s out of cell range. It is a long way from town. It is a good place to isolate men and treat them.”

A possible solution City hall and the RCMP have argued that criminal record checks of clients at VisionQuest would go

a long way to allay concerns, as long as it meant ensuring sexual and violent offenders were not admitted.

In a May 2015 memo to Mayor Sharon Gaetz about VisionQuest, Burleigh said she “has suggested . . . that it would be beneficial to have clients agree to a criminal record check as part of their acceptance into the VisionQuest program and as part of the decision-making process for acceptance.”

Both Throness and O’Rourke said this creates privacy issues, but Lum points out that anyone can submit to a criminal record check so why not make clients do so?

Throness said he has been working on a plan that will hopefully get at concerns from the city and the FVRD. That is to work with probation officers who know the entire criminal record of every inmate, and they can determine if someone is unsuitable to live at a facility with zero security.

“We think that will result in greater public safety,” he said.

Addicts, drugs and no security Both city hall and the RCMP

Vanessa loves Chilliwack!

are acutely aware of another issue at VisionQuest, and that is drugs being smuggled in. There is no security at the facility and visitors are not searched when they visit.

O’Rourke said he drug tests his clients every week and if they “test hot,” they are kicked out, but many remain skeptical about this and the Times has heard numerous anecdotes from family members of clients and from inside the criminal justice system that drugs are rife at VisionQuest.

A source who asked not to be named told the Times he thinks his addicted nephew did more drugs inside VisionQuest than on the outside.

“He was not going to be able to get off drugs in there,” he said.

“That place is so tainted with drugs it’s unbelievable.”

One thing all parties agree on is that the system is not perfect, not by a long shot.

Where they disagree is that supporters of VisionQuest think it’s helping some men recover, reduce recidivism and save money, while critics say the risk to public safety is too great.

Climate debate an election topic

◗ Publisher

K

im Campbell was infamously quoted (or misquoted) as saying that a 47-day election was no time to discuss serious issues.

Fortunately, we are in the early days of an election campaign that is almost twice that long, and will stretch on into late October. It’s also unusual to have an election campaign during the height of summer, when the weather is often top of mind.

So let’s have a debate about global warming.

Not whether or not it exists, which has been thoroughly established. There is a worldwide scientific consensus, and every major political party accepts that it is happening, whether grudgingly or not. There is also ample anecdotal evidence in the form of temperature records that have fallen by the score across B.C. We also have the raging wildfires and water restrictions—though not as severely here as in other regions—to show us what global warming will mean for us on a local level.

Our major opposition parties may be willing to attack the government on the environment, but they are still following rather than leading the debates on energy and climate change.

As usual, it’s up to Canadians to push for the changes we need in Ottawa.

In politics pick your battles carefully W hen the election was called at the beginning of August, all the polls suggested that we were looking at a tight three way race with the Conservatives, Liberals and the NDP. Now, just a few weeks into the campaign, Stephen Harper seems to be battling four leaders: Tom Mulcair and Justin Trudeau of course, but also the premiers of Ontario and Alberta.

There is a long history in this country of provincial parties engaging in ‘fed-bashing’ for electoral advantage, but it is rather more unusual to see a prime minister taunting provincial leaders in a federal election campaign. ‘Prov-bashing’ is a new one for me.

Stephen Harper’s feud with Kathleen Wynne of Ontario has been going on for years, and it is not absolutely clear who started it. Senior Conservative ministers like the late Jim Flaherty, John Baird and Tony Clement all came out of Ontario politics, and they didn’t entirely let it go when they entered the federal arena.

But Kathleen Wynne has at least been a willing dance partner. And there’s not much doubt that she has

together to solve problems – health care, social policy and the environment.

When Stephen Harper goes out of his way to criticize some of his provincial counterparts, it creates the opportunity for Justin Trudeau and Tom Mulcair to present themselves as more constructive and cooperative leaders.

I would also suggest that the optics of Stephen Harper feuding with two female premiers is especially problematic. The Conservative Party has a “gender gap” problem. It draws support more from men than women.

By all accounts, this is a very close election. The Conservatives need to get more support from women, if they want to form another government.

There are surely better ways to get that support than needlessly picking fights with two of the most important women in the country. ◗ Hamish Telford is an associate professor in the department of political science at the University of the Fraser Valley.

It’s interesting and instructive to examine the Bloomberg list of nations with the largest public debt on a per capita basis. Japan is tops with $100,000 debt per Japanese citizen. The United States is #3 and Greece #12.

and Japan are not held hostage and subjected to blackmail and extortion in the same manner as Greece. Sadly, like much of everything else, it’s about power and who wields it.

Democracy and the political process are being circumvented or even suspended in favour of decisions made in upscale hotel penthouses by a cabal of technocrats representing global finance capital. Politicians are becoming merely useful idiots.

But which country is next on the ECB/IMF financial mafia hit list, subdued and controlled by debt peonage like the Greeks? Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland? Perhaps soon we’ll all be like the Greeks.

We need to be reminded that capitalism is not synonymous with democracy and never has been. In fact capitalism has flourished as well or better under fascism and other totalitarian systems as it has under our so-called liberal democracies.

Editor: One of my favourite movies is Zorba the Greek (1964). After watching this movie one might be led to believe that the typical Greek is the carefree free-spirited character brilliantly portrayed by Anthony Quinn.

Moreover, the vicious corporate media fear mongering, spin and propaganda about “lazy working class Greeks” has contributed to many people’s negative perceptions.

But there is far more to Greece’s problems than cultural norms.

Debt to GDP can be very misleading, especially considering the convoluted nature of GDP and relevant factors not included in its calculation as a measure of economic health.

The situation in Greece is far more complex and insidious. Much of the national debt in Greece, as in other countries, is the result of corporations and wealthy elites paying little or no taxes and the massive bailouts of larcenous banks worldwide in 2008. Most of the bailout debt from

Taking a spiritual temperature

BY CURTIS FAST Yarrow MB Church

I

n my life I have a number of spiritual mentors. They are people who have walked with Jesus much longer than I have and assist me to both discern what Jesus is saying to me and help me walk on a healthy spiritual path.

I met with one of them for coffee a while ago and he encouraged me to take my “spiritual temperature.” In other words, how does my life compare to what scripture says a Holy Spirit led life should look like? One way of testing this is to compare my life to what Paul writes in Galatians 5:16,22: “So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves . . . the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!”

The question that I have to

direct at myself is this: is my life producing love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control? If my life is producing the fruit of the Spirit, that means I am being led by the Spirit. If my life is producing things that are contrasting the fruit of the Spirit, I need to take a close look at what or who is influencing the way I act.

How can you apply this to your own life?

I can be gentle, faithful, loving and joyful when things are going well and I am around people that I like and generally agree with, but what about when conditions aren’t perfect? What about when people disagree with me, or are unfaithful or selfish in their actions? I don’t know about you but I’m not perfect and I do not always act in a way that shows the fruit of the Spirit; in fact, I don’t think that anyone is able to always act that way on their own.

This is a practical situation where the Holy Spirit can help us in our lives. Jesus told us that

the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled and do not be afraid.”

Jesus loves you and he wants you to live a life filled with peace.

He doesn’t promise that life will be easy but he does promise to be there with us. Jesus loves you so much that he gave his life as a sacrifice so that you can be set free and given strength to produce the fruit of the Spirit. If you are not experiencing this sort of freedom in your life I want you to know that you can, maybe just start with this simple prayer:

he had to leave so that Father could send us the Holy Spirit, the Counselor who will teach us all things and remind us of what Jesus had taught. Moreover, when explaining the Spirit to his disciples Jesus said “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as

Jesus save me.

“Search me, O God, and know my heart; Test me and know my anxious thoughts.

See if there is any offensive way in me, And lead me in the way of everlasting.”

Many working professionals recognize that each day tends to have its mundane moments. The brain can grow accustomed to these moments, which

Staying socially active after 50 can benefit the brain and even reduce a person’s risk of dementia. it’s a warning sign of dementia, which is the loss of certain mental functions, including memory. Though taking longer to recall information can be frustrating, many people still retain their ability to recall information.

In addition, while dementia brought on by conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease or Parkinson’s disease is untreatable, there are things men and women can do to strengthen their memories and reduce their momentary lapses in memory. ◗ Start playing games.

Games that test the mind have long been believed to benefit the brain, though some remain skeptical about the true impact of brain games.

However, a University of Iowa study funded by the National Institute on Aging found that brain games may in fact pay numerous and long-term dividends. In the study, 681 healthy volunteers over the age of 40 were divided into four groups.

One group played computerized crossword puzzles, and three other groups played a brain training video game from Posit Science designed

specifically to enhance the speed and accuracy of visual processing.

The volunteers showed less decline in visual processing as well as in other tests that measured concentration, memory and the ability to shift quickly between tasks, and the benefits from the training games lasted as long as seven years after training.

Brain games are now more accessible than ever before, as players can access such games on their smartphones, tablets, ereaders and computers. And in addition to being

Good hearing but trouble with conversation?

A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out.

o one, regardless of age, is immune to random bouts of memory loss. While misplaced car keys or forgetting items on your grocery list are nothing to get worked up over, many men and women over 50 do start to worry about memory lapses, especially when they start to occur with more frequency than they might have just a few years ago. But while memory loss might be quickly associated with aging, increased forgetfulness is not an inevitable side effect of getting older, a fact that those at or approaching retirement age should find comforting.

When considering the relationship between memory and aging, it’s important that men and women recognize the distinction between memory lapses and dementia, as the two are not one and the same. As a person ages, his or her hippocampus, the region of the brain involved in the formation and retrieval of memories, often deteriorates. This can affect how long it takes to learn and recall information. But just because this process is slower does not mean

› Sports Dog agility gaining in local popularity

introduced the leaping dog sport to 70 local teams and are attracting others to practice and compete in their centre from Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland and Alberta.

And the sport is inclusive, Cheetham points out. That’s a main reason the pair went with NADD, as they are American Kennel Club (AKC) affiliated, and that organization allows two handlers.

One handler can hold the dog while the other is free at the front of the dock to call the dog making it easier for families, youth (eight to 17 years old) and handlers with disabilities.

Making the sport accessible to everyone is important to Starlight, but it’s already a straightforward activity to get started in, according to Cheetham.

“If you can get up on the dock and throw a toy for your dog you’ve just entered the sport of dock diving,” she says.

And the benefits to any dog that joins include developing strength, focus, drive, patience and the bond with its owner, according to the young manager.

While there might be a lot of dog sports in the Chilliwack area, with more popping up to compete for canine enthusiasts’ interest, they all seem to have a few elements in common: exercise for dog and handler, excitement and as Lacy puts it, “just having fun.”

{ DOCK DOGS, from page A1 } “Barking makes him faster,” Lacy claims.

Though both Shanelle and her daughter will be guiding the same dog, 10-year-old Lacy will be competing in the junior nationals held on Thursday, where the competition is much thinner.

Shanelle estimates she’ll be up against as many as 250 dogs and handlers from around Canada, but Lacy is in a group of only seven handlers in the 12 and under category.

“Very few kids qualify at Lacy’s age,” Shanelle says. “To get titles at that age is really difficult.”

Agility is a demanding sport, she says, because the human guides have to ensure their dog tackles obstacles in the proper order.

“Lacy’s worked very hard to get this good,” Shanelle says. “I think a lot of kids don’t have the perseverance.”

So daughter’s odds are much better than mom’s, they joke together at home.

In their canine sport, the McCormicks have to travel to Abbotsford to attend club gatherings.

But if Diamond wasn’t reluctant to go underwater and they had more time, they’d have a local option if they wanted to pursue dock diving, a growing aquatic dog sport.

And that’s partly because another young Chilliwack canine handler is making waves this summer.

Jessica Cheetham, 19, is manager of the newly opened Starlight K9 Care and Aquatics, a centre on Lickman Road for the jumping and swimming sport.

“She manages all the day-to-day goings on around the kennel, she loves helping people, teaching newcomers the value of swimming for their dogs and introducing them to the sport of [canine] dock diving,” says Cheetham’s

Michaloski saw her plan that started 16 years ago come to fruition when they opened the centre, highlighted by the first event held there in late July.

Fifteen dogs competed that weekend at Starlight, the first North American Diving Dogs (NADD) sanctioned facility in western Canada.

The turnout wasn’t as good as Cheetham and Michaloski expected because the club itself has to compete with other canine activities—Lacy’s favourites, agility and fly ball had tournaments in the region at the same time.

But the owner/manager duo have already

Huskers manage to put points on scoreboard

T

he Westshore Rebels handed visiting Valley Huskers opponents their fourth loss in a row Saturday at Westhills Stadium in Langford, breaking the BCFC’s winless tie.

Both teams had lost every game going into the afternoon but a dominant passing presence from the Rebels pinned the Huskers to last in the league after a 45-14 final.

The game looked attainable for either side in the first half after a touchdown per quarter for Westshore, leaving the score 14-0 going into the intermission.

But the home team came out strong in the second half, scoring 21 points in the third quarter alone.

Rebels first-year quarterback Ashton MacKinnon completed three-quarters of his attempts for 427 of his team’s 542 passing yards.

MacKinnon’s favoured receiver Hunter Lake caught nine of those for 183 yards and a major, and the QB also connected three times with Joe Barkhouse for two TDs. Though the Huskers held their own in the air at last week’s loss to the Langley Rams, Noah Falconer and his receiver squad couldn’t post the num-

bers needed to keep up in Langford.

Falconer’s only TD pass of the game was to Jesse Deering who caught three balls for 77 yards over the afternoon.

However, the Huskers rushing game was on par with their hosts on Saturday.

Running back Ryan Jackson took 17 carries for 108 yards and a touchdown.

But the Rebels used their ground game more effectively in scoring range, converting three runs into TDs— two of those resulting from MacKinnon QB runs.

Despite the 31 point margin of defeat (their lowest this season), the Huskers had defensive stand outs in Tyler McStravic (8 tackles), Connor Smith (7 tackles, 1 pass knock down) and Brenden Atkinson (6 tackles, 1 assist).

After the Rebels loss, Chilliwack’s Valley Huskers have scored 31 points with 233 against the team this season.

They will head to the Apple Bowl this Saturday, Aug. 22 in Kelowna to face the Okanagan Sun for the second time this year.

The Sun won the first matchup earlier in the month at Chilliwack’s Exhibition Stadium 64-0.

A Chilliwack secondary graduate is among the players in this year’s incoming line-up set to join the University of the Fraser Valley women’s basketball program.

Shayna Cameron, the reigning PacWest conference MVP committed to head coach Al Tuchscherer’s Cascades, returning home after four years at Quest University in Squamish. The former Kermode, now in her final season of eligibility, was the PacWest’s female athlete of the year across all sports, the Basketball BC college female athlete of the year and a CCAA All-Canadian—all in the 2015 season. Cameron joins UFV after a CCAA national tournament outing and back-to-back PacWest titles.

In 2015, the 5’9” shooting guard averaged 17.4 points, 4.3 rebounds

and 2.6 assists each game. “Shayna had a fantastic college career at Quest,” said Tuchscherer who starts his 14th year as coach of the team. “She’s a highly skilled player who can shoot the ball and approaches the game with a lot of maturity. Her leadership is going to be instrumental in our success this year.”

A GREAT PLACE TO DO BUSINESS

I

t’s been more than 30 years since Trademasters opened in Chilliwack, but it really hasn’t felt that long.

In 1988 Casey Hillton decided to move his small automotive and heavy-duty truck repair business from Chetwynd in northern B.C., to Chilliwack.

Even in 1988, Chilliwack was quite a big change from the small community of Chetwynd.

“Chetwynd was only 3,000 people at the time, so Chilliwack was much larger,” store manager Brenda Hillton (Casey’s wife) explained.

Over time, the Hillton’s small business expanded to include light truck accessories and R.V. repairs your one stop shop for work and play.

“Over the years we have purchased other businesses to join with our Chilliwack location,” Brenda said. “It’s helped us grow and it’s given more options to the customers in this area.”

But the business wasn’t the only thing that grew. When Brenda moved to Chilliwack, the city was much smaller than it is today.

“It was much slower paced back then,” she said. “It’s a lot bigger and a lot more people now.”

Even the location of Trademasters, off of Evans Road on Yale Road West, has changed drastically over the years.

“This road was very industrial and you hardly had any traffic,” Brenda said. “Now there’s lots of traffic, lots of new buildings. It’s a very inviting area.”

Chilliwack was a welcoming community, and although the Hilltons initially moved here to be closer to family, Brenda found that it ended up being a great home for their business as well.

“Chilliwack is a very business friendly place and we find that customers really want to shop in their own community,” she said.

Brenda Hillton is the store manager of the local Trademasters.

Although the Hilltons have enjoyed doing business in Chilliwack, over the years it’s become more than just a home for their company but a home for their family as well.

“I like the fact that it’s community orientated, very friendly people,” Brenda said. “It’s easy to get around. Even when you walk on the trail, everybody says hi. Everybody is very friendly.” ❖ 44467 Yale Rd. W. Chilliwack ❖ Phone: 604-792-3132 ❖ www.vehiclesolutions.ca.

“There’s lots of wonderful businesses in Greendale,” owner Diane Bruinsma explained. “It just gives people an idea of what’s out there.

In one day, there’s so many different places you can stop that are within minutes of each other.”

And not only is the sampler an opportunity to see what Greendale

offers, but Walsh sees it as a way for the community to get to know their local businesses better as well.

“It connects people,” she explained. “We have the Local Harvest where people can connect with their food and the Chilliwack River Valley Natural Honey where they get to watch the bee demos. It’s connecting people to the smaller part of the community and to the producers and growers of the area.”

But aside from connecting people to the community, Walsh is excited to showcase Greendale.

“I love living here,” she said. “I think that it’s unique that we can show off the farms and the gardens and the businesses to not just Chilliwack, but the rest of the Fraser Valley.”

The free event is open to people of all ages, but with plenty of animals and even barrel rides at the Local Harvest, it’s a great day for kids as well.

“I think it’s interesting for the whole family, but it’s neat for the kids too,” Walsh said. “If families don’t want to spend a lot on a family day, it’s a nice outing.” ◗ The Greendale Country Sampler takes place this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. A map can be picked up on the event day at any of the participating locations.

‘Marina’ style Safeway iconic landmark

I

n October of 1961 Chilliwack’s Main Street Safeway store opened during the company’s massive construction program that saw a multitude of similar looking stores pop up in Canada and the U.S. throughout the early and mid-1960s. The new store replaced a smaller store located on Mill Street. The unique architecture was referred to as the “Marina” style after San Francisco’s Marina Boulevard Safeway Store that debuted in 1959 and is still open today.

Mid-century Safeway stores are very recognizable with their unique curved roofline with extensive overhangs (referred to as gull-wing) and full glass store-fronts.

The use of glue laminated wood beams was also employed during the supermarket’s construction. This new technology allowed the interiors to be filled with natural light as only small metal beams were necessary to support

The Main Street Safeway under construction in 1961. the building’s structure.

Another piece of modern technology introduced to Safeway stores was automatic doors. These features were meant to enhance the shopping experience while providing one-stop convenience for the consumer.

The former Safeway building on Main Street is representative of the development and expansion of automobile-based retailing that occurred after the Second World War. Our growing dependence on vehicles

influenced commercial development in the 1960s in particular, with large chain supermarkets and malls becoming more popular than traditional street-based shopping.

Safeway’s marina-style stores are disappearing from the retail landscape as consumers migrate to mega-sized warehouse style grocery stores.

Chilliwack’s Main Street Safeway store closed in 2006 after their new store opened several blocks away. Sadly, many of these mid-century structures

have already met the wrecking ball while others (like Chilliwack’s Safeway) are abandoned and forlorn—their fate uncertain.

Creative types, however, have found uses beyond housing groceries and have re-purposed former Safeway stores for a variety of functions. Some great examples include an auto parts store, car dealership, fitness club, church, outdoor equipment store and thrift store, just to name a few examples.

These iconic examples of neighbourhood grocery

stores are becoming a remnant of the past and eventually may endure only in our collective memories. ◗ The Heritage Chilliwack Society is a non-profit, community based initiative established to engage, advocate for, and promote Chilliwack’s heritage.

ANNIVERSARIES

Harry & Frieda Winkles August 19th Happy 55th Anniversary Mom & Dad

BURTON Franklin Oliver

April 22,1923 - Aug 11, 2015 Frank passed peacefully after a long illness. Predeceased by his wife, Evelyn, of 65 years, his daughter Annabelle, and his son Ernest. Survived by Children; Ethel Baron, Isabel (Bruce) Jardine, Linda (Peter) Tagmann, Brenda Vervoort, Shirley Burton, Wayne Burton and by 6 grandchildren, 13 great grandchildren, and one great great grandchild. He also has 4 surviving sisters.

An avid gardener, inventive builder, and craftsman. Born in Swan River, Manitoba, and farming in the Big Woody area, the family moved west, eventually settling in Chilliwack where they made their home for the last quarter century. Always ready with a joke, full of smiles and laughs, and always ready for lunch out.

He was a war veteran and his duty will always be remembered. He will be missed.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society (BC or Canada).

Funeral services will be held on August 27th at 11:00 am at Carman United Church, 7258 Vedder Road, Chilliwack, BC.
