former Chilliwack youth support worker has been convicted of sexually abusing a teenage client, leaving yet another blemish on the legacy of Stehiyaq Healing and Wellness Village.

Darren Vincent Justice, 45, was found guilty on Thursday of sexual interference of a person under 16 and sexual assault. Judgment was delivered in B.C. Supreme Court in Chilliwack.

The offences took place in August 2011 and involved a 14-year-old girl who was a Stehiyaq client. She cannot be identified due to a publication ban.

Judge Robert Jenkins found that Justice sexually touched the girl on at least three occasions.

Once was on a movie night, when Justice rubbed the girl’s breast after other clients had left the room. The second incident involved Justice kissing the girl on the cheek and lips while she was in her bed.

Then, a couple of days before she was scheduled to leave the village, Justice went into the girl’s room at { See JUSTICE, page A7 }

Seventeen-year-old entrepreneur Travis Neels sits in the office of his thriving creative company.

BY GREG LAYCHAK glaychak@chilliwacktimes.com

B

en Vaneck found his graphic designer like many service seekers do these days— online.

But when he sat across from Travis Neels of TNCreations at their first meeting, he was in for a surprise.

The professional that Vaneck had connected with via computer to help rebrand his bakery business was only 17 years old.

“I think he’s brilliant,” says Vaneck. “I was stunned by his age because I was thinking he’s a graduate in college or something until I met him.”

In fact, Neels has just recently graduated from high school, completing a year and a half of his diploma online—something he’d started due to health problems, but continued because his digital marketing business had boomed in the meantime.

Now he sits in an office he had built on the back corner of his family home in Rosedale with a view of growing crops to complement his growing list of clients.

A teen business sensation Local entrepreneur Travis Neels’ unconventional path to success didn’t involve a post-secondary education In addition to the broadening of Neels’ work space and customer base, his staff is also expanding to meet the startup’s changing needs.

“My mom works in the office off and on for me,” Neels says. “I have a remote assistant. . . and I’ve got a contract designer in Paris and in Vancouver.”

And the business owner added a full-time salesperson to his staff in July.

All of his employees are older than him, but that hasn’t caused any problems for Neels and TNCreations.

“It’s doing really well,” says the young entrepreneur. “Sales are up.

Well enough to pay my employees and pay myself a decent wage.”

Neels says he’s honing in on the Lower Mainland for his client base, but

is certainly not limited by proximity.

“We’re focusing on B.C. right now, pretty much from Hope to Vancouver Island,” he says. “I have a few clients who are in the States, another client in Australia, but our main advertising is local now.”

It’s a different time for entrepreneurs, with barriers to entry falling in many facets of business.

Neels is a prime example, self-taught in his design and marketing skills in the age of instructional blogs and Youtube videos.

And with the power of online resources, his work can be done by people around the world for clients anywhere with an Internet connection.

Even finding those clients has

changed with online ad campaigns and targeted social media now in the mix.

The result of this freer alternative way of learning and reaching people has made it increasingly possible for anyone with an Internet connection to start a company.

Recognizing this trend, U.S. billionaire and co-founder of PayPal Peter Thiel set up an annual fellowship that rewards young entrepreneurs for abstaining from university to instead pursue their more hands-on goals.

This year, four Canadians accepted the $100,000 in funding and two years of mentorship from the Thiel Fellowship.

“I think it depends on the person,”

says Neels about alternative education paths. “For some it works for some it doesn’t and if I’d taken traditional school all the way through I don’t think I’d be where I’m at.”

He’s going to concentrate on TNCreations for now, he says, and might do some online courses for certification but at this point doesn’t see the need to pursue formal education.

Ruth Neels, mother and employee of Travis, remembers when he was a child interested in design and taking pictures.

Travis started his creative career at 10 years old by helping friends and family with their powerpoint presentations and taking photos for them.

After taking a break for another job at a dairy farm and an unexplained illness, he returned to his design path two years ago.

“All of a sudden I had just a massive month, lots of people calling and phones ringing off the hook, and I figured I had something,” Travis says. Most of that traffic comes from referrals, and Neels adds that most of

Candidates answer question on infrastructure concerns

Question #3 Each major party has committed to increase investment in municipal infrastructure. As a Member of Parliament, what is your role in the planning and facilitating of municipal infrastructure projects? What are the most pressing infrastructure concerns in Chilliwack-Hope (up to three)?

Thomas Cheney, Green candidate I believe the role of the Member of Parliament is to assist municipalities in getting the resources they need. That said, municipal infrastructure funding decisions should be based on the merit of the proposal and the needs of the community, not political expediency.

The Green Party’s focus for infrastructure spending is sustainable transport infrastructure such as separated bike lanes, enhanced pedestrian facilities, and transit infrastructure. I think the two largest infrastructure concerns for Chilliwack-Hope are the limited transit links between Chilliwack and the rest of the Lower Mainland and the limited

2015 Federal Election October 19

separated cycle lane infrastructure. We should restart passenger rail service on the Interurban line with the eventual goal of a fast regional rail system to Downtown Vancouver. Chilliwack also lacks a city-wide separated bike lane network, a situation that needs to be fixed for both community health and environmental reasons.

Louis De Jaeger, Liberal candidate I recognize that physical and social infrastructure work hand in hand in creating healthier, happier and more productive communities. Realistic planning/funding for both must be a priority, and as MP I will lobby for sustainable, stable and predictable funding for long term projects, and participate in helping create an inviting environment for business.

I would like to develop a regular city caucus meeting where municipal city councils, parks boards, MLAs and First Nations are included. I will work

tirelessly for building co-operative and inclusive relationships in regards to joint infrastructure and shared projects. I would attend the six major advisory committees to council, (Agriculture, Public Safety, Housing, Rural Engagement, Transportation, and the Development Process Advisory Committee).

My role would be to listen, assist and support my colleagues. I would like to lead in the creation of sector-specific strategies that support innovation for clean technology investments in urban waste and recovery, new energy sources and in agricultural sectors.

Alexander Johnson, Libertarian candidate I believe that the federal government shouldn’t be in the position to make decisions for provinces and municipalities that they themselves could better make. The issue is this process is unnecessary and costly. Why pay someone in Ottawa to give back money already taken by taxes from those who could have funded a project at home directly? Why involve a third layer of decision making unless we don’t believe that we have the resources in provincial and municipal government already in place? If that’s the case, then we have a problem with those layers of government. My position

Raising the roof on real estate

Seonaigh MacPherson, NDP candidate As your MP, I will ensure Chilliwack-Hope receives predictable, dedicated and transparent federal support for infrastructure with flexibility in how funds are used. An NDP government will transfer one per cent of the gas tax to municipalities ($1.5 billion to $3.7 billion annually) for infrastructure investments, and I will personally coordinate to ensure we participate in the following: Transportation: As one of Canada’s fastest growing regions, Chilliwack-Hope needs to relieve traffic congestion and to develop rapid transit alternatives—e.g. via transit fund ($1.3 billion annually).

Water: In a recent letter to the NEB, the City of Chilliwack raised concerns about the repercussions of potential oil contamination on our aquifers with the proposed oil pipeline expansion.

An NDP government will require rigorous scientific environmental reviews and local stakeholder consultations in all projects affecting our water and aquifers.

Housing: Building 10,000 addition-

al new affordable rental housing units with CMHC is one example of our national housing strategy.

Mark Strahl, Conservative candidate and incumbent Our Conservative government has delivered an unprecedented level of federal infrastructure funding in Chilliwack and Hope.

When the City of Chilliwack told me that their number one infrastructure priority was the Vedder Bridge replacement project, I went to work on their behalf in Ottawa and was able to secure the nearly $4.2 million in federal funds necessary—the largest federal grant Chilliwack has ever received— to get the over $12.5 million project approved.

In 2011, I helped open the Kawkawa Lake Road bridge in Hope—Hope’s number one infrastructure priority— which received over $3.3 million in federal funds from our Conservative government.

I believe that the local level of government—not Ottawa—is best placed to determine local infrastructure needs and MPs should work with local governments, rather than trying to dictate to municipalities on how, when, where or which local infrastructure projects should be built.

My job is to help residents settle into their new home with comfort and ease.

ales of Chilliwack homes in all categories hit the roof last month according to numbers released by the Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board (CADREB).

Persistently low interest rates and buyer confidence in the provincial economy are driving the increase in purchasing— up from 236 a year ago to 308 this past July.

“Consumers are spending more in retail sales and the housing market is benefitting from it,” said CADREB president-elect Richard Admiraal. “However, we need more listings in Chilliwack for this strong trend to continue.”

He’s referring to a 400 listing drop in the market compared to the same period last year.

The decrease brings July 2015 to 1,375 homes listed, a concern for Admiraal who said too many buyers are “sitting on the fence, waiting for more homes to become available.”

In order to maintain a healthy housing economy a strong and diverse i nv e nt o r y i s c r u c i a l , according to the report.

The girl left the village on Sept. 1, 2011, and within a few hours Justice began sending her Facebook messages, even though the village had a policy against communicating privately with former clients. The exchange of messages continued until Oct. 17. He wrote on more than one occasion that he loved and missed the girl.

Jenkins said the primary issue before him was the credibility of Justice and the complainant, both of whom testified at trial.

Justice adamantly denied all of the allegations. He said he contacted the complainant through Facebook after she left the village because he was concerned about her and her brother, and that he loved her in a non-romantic way.

The Stehiyaq Healing and Wellness Village opened in April 2010 to provide holistic treatment for aboriginal youth suffering from drug and alcohol addiction and began taking its first clients three months later.

It was established at a former youth corrections camp in the Chilliwack River Valley — which was the site of an ancient native village before that — and received millions in funding from the provincial government.

However, the facility had trouble filling beds and funding was a constant issue. In October 2010, it received more negative attention when Aitchelitz band hereditary chief Jimmy George was sentenced to 14 months in jail for sexual interference of a person under 16. George toured the Stehiyaq site in 2008 with then premier Gordon Campbell.

Adaptability key to Neels’ success { NEELS, from page A3 } the Chilliwack customers he serves are open to trying out different branding ideas.

But Vaneck credits Travis’s adaptability for his success.

“I have an idea in my mind and I tell you about my idea,” says Vaneck.

“You’re able to translate that idea perfectly into a logo or an ad or something—you know that is really difficult.”

It seems to come easily enough for Neels who sits in his office in front of a TNCreations logo on the wall.

He is busy but calm, and already carries himself with the confidence of his entrepreneurial peers twice as old.

Stabbed at Gill Road

A

n altercation between two groups of campers resulted in one man allegedly being stabbed at the 11400 block of Gill Road on Sunday.

RCMP are looking for more information for their investigation of the incident which sent a 38-yearold Mission man to the hospital with life threatening injuries.

After police and ambulance personnel responded to the 11 a.m. complaint of the stabbing, a man was taken into RCMP custody and later released.

The follow ing day, UFVRD Serious Crime Section officers and Lower Mainland Integrated Forensic Identification Section personnel gath-

ered evidence at the camping area as they continued to investigative the incident.

Police are asking the public for help if any witnesses can provide more information.

“The region is a popular off-road camping destination and police feel there are still many witnesses with further accounts to what happened,” said Cpl. Mike Rail of the RCMP. Police believe the two groups of campers did not know each other prior to the altercation, but they suspect the victim was targeted. ◗ Contact the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) if you have any information.

an you feel it? The love that is, can you feel the love for this city?

Well, hundreds of you could and took the time to share this feeling of love with our readers.

Sure, some shared because they wanted to win a weekly prize or even the grand prize of a $1,000 travel voucher from Roblin Travel & Cruise. But, all cynicism aside, we think a lot of people simply wanted to express their love for Chilliwack.

And, it’s not hard to do.

You gave us all so many reasons to feel love and pride in the place we call home. Some of the reasons were obvious—rivers, mountains, community spirit—while others were more esoteric.

But the one we enjoyed the most was by someone who said: “This town has shown me a new life.”

We found that beautiful and moving . . . just like Chilliwack, the city we all love. Thank you to all who participated in I Love Chilliwack.

B.C. cities need better negotiators

I

am in Montreal with my three kids in tow. It’s a fantastic adventure that had a funny start.

There is always lots of construction in Montreal, so I wasn’t surprised to see policemen rerouting traffic around construction sites. What did surprise me was the way they were dressed: normal police shirts and traffic vests paired with bright coloured pants of various descriptions, including a pair of pink camouflage pants.

“Mommy, why are the policemen wearing funny pants?” What to tell the kids? This is a fun city. Is it the joie de vivre of Montreal expressing itself? Is it meant to make the tourists smile?

I had to ask my Quebec colleagues, who explained that it had nothing to do with entertaining tourists. It was a continuing protest against the provincial government for passing a bill that put the brakes on excessive compensation for municipal employees. Bill 3, passed late last year, requires municipalities to change the split on municipal pensions so that the government and municipal employees each contribute 50 per cent. In Montreal, the split had been that the government (taxpayers) was contributing as much as 70 per cent, while employees were contributing only 30 per cent. The law

LAURA JONES Be Our Guest got some national attention as the immediate protests saw chairs flying in council chambers and garbage burning in the streets.

How did a provincial government get brave enough to take such a strong stand when senior levels of government are typically so careful about not upsetting municipal governments? In this case, the public was mad. They had become aware of how dysfunctional the compensation of municipal employees had become with taxpayers on the hook for pension liabilities estimated at close to $4 billion for 170 Quebec municipal pension plans.

Overly generous compensation packages are not unique to Quebec.

In B.C., municipal employees earn an average of 17 per cent more than equivalent jobs in the private sector.

(Occupations such as police and firefighters aren’t included in these calculations because there are few equivalents in the private sector.)

Misguided protest hurts local business

I am one of those often discussed, yet rarely seen, swing voters. Although I

Please remember, brevity is the soul of wit. am not without my biases, like many born and raised in the Fraser Valley, I admire Chuck Strahl, voted Liberal in the last provincial election and am unlikely to mark my X beside anything with the letters NDP. I am also ready and willing to be swayed by a clear and articulate perspective or a compelling argument for a direction forward. It is with this mindset that I read Hamish Telford’s Aug. 19 article with increasing puzzlement.

The notion that Prime Minister Harper’s recent clashes with Premiers Notley and Wynne are needless, or that gender is a relevant metric with which to gauge these engagements either for the author’s own understanding or for the voters at large is, frankly, bizarre.

Despite what Mulcair, and at times Notley, have claimed, what happened in Alberta was not a revolutionary shift of an electorate to the left, but rather the natural outcome of a choice between stale, incompetent political dinosaurs and a vibrant, surprisingly centrist NDP. Alberta presents a workable microcosm of the federal election and Canada in general, both as a jurisdiction struggling to weather an external economic storm using its internal means, and as a narrative of an incumbent Conservative party spoiled by years in power being threatened by an increasingly centrist NDP led by an overtly competent leader. It is eminently sensible then for Harper to cut this NDP momentum off as quickly as possible, particularly in light of the messaging coming from Mulcair that we did this in the heart of conservative Canada and we can do it across the country.

Telford is right, it is far too early to pass authoritative judgement on Notley’s policies, but early reports of investment dollars draining from the private sector and an awkward royalty review in the midst of a global plunge certainly give him a leg to stand on when indexing Notley’s government to a Canada under Mulcair’s NDP. Voters understand that he isn’t blaming them for these policies, he is indicting Notley for turning up her nose at the industry that feeds both her and those who voted for her, while presenting himself as a relevant conservative voice that they didn’t have provincially.

In Ontario, Harper’s exchanges with Trudeau himself seem to have taken a backseat to those with Wynne, and it appears that she is set on attaching herself to Justin and his campaign, whether he likes it or not. Perhaps this is meant to serve her own budding ambitions in federal politics (speculation), or to provide her own policies with a boost of populist credibility in the face of falling approval numbers, or maybe she even believes in these policies so much that she feels compelled to proselytize them on the national stage. In any event, she has saddled Trudeau with the association of her own dismal approval rating, a government that has recently received both a credit downgrade and the dubious distinction of being the most indebt sub-sovereign borrower in the world.

Why then, after being needled time and again, would Harper resist the urge to stoke the Wynne fire and play up this association? Ontario played a key role in the Conservative’s 2011 majority,

and recent poll numbers suggest a strong Liberal resurgence in the Greater Toronto area. Aligning Trudeau’s policies with Wynne’s presents a clear indictment in perhaps the most important battleground of the upcoming election. And although Telford may think differently, Wynne is no Danny Williams, either in popularity or political acumen.

While Harper’s treatment of provincial leaders belies to many his lack of patience and tact, attacks from the PMO are certainly not without precedent. Trudeau (the first), for example, publicly butted heads with Peter Lougheed, Daniel Johnson and Robert Bourassa, even famously calling Bourassa a “hotdog eater.”

Chastising leaders who threaten to wield more power than is constitutionally mandated, especially with energy debates and interprovincial projects looming large in the background, has become something of a sport in Canadian politics. If Harper’s manoeuvering and lack of political decorum are where you draw your line in the sand, then so be it. I’m more concerned with the portion of the electorate who remain unconvinced with this cycle’s talking points and look for arguments to differentiate between three parties hellbent on driving up the middle of the spectrum. Give us substance, we can handle it.

Unfortunately, I believe Telford that some will simply see a man attacking two women and either distract from or altogether miss the point: that these exchanges give us important insight to the battlelines over which this election is being fought.

However, the danger in reinforcing this gender narrative lies in the feedback loop of lowest common denominator political thought that it feeds. Those in the media may report on this sentiment, thus giving it the appearance of credibility needed for the public to talk about it as a real issue and for the media to continue to report on it,

and so on. Pushing lines of thought such as these do nothing but obfuscate the issues and distract from real substantive argument.

Thanks for cleaning help Editor: On Aug. 19 I was returning to my home at Post Creek when I stopped to clean up a disgusting mess of three torn open and scattered garbage bags left by irresponsible campers at the junction of Chilliwack Lake Road and Chipmunk Peninsular FSR. Within several minutes of starting the clean up a truck pulled up and a couple joined in helping me clean. Within another minute or so another couple stopped by and had extra garbage bags to help with the cleanup.

I would love to thank these couples for their concern and their help with keeping this valley clean and all the people out there who stop to clean as well.

Editor: The people who are protesting salmon farming in Chilliwack have a legal right to air their concerns, but coming to my dealership on Yale Road West is misguided and unfair.

As the owner of Fraser Valley Mitsubishi I am an independent business person with a Mitsubishi Motors franchise. My dealership, Mitsubishi Motors, and my dedicated team of employees, have nothing to do with this issue. These protesters are linking my business to a fish farm in Campbell River owned by Mitsubishi Corporation.

The truth is that in their misguided protest of our dealership, the protestors are affecting the livelihood of hard-working, good Chilliwack citizens, and not to mention the adjacent businesses we support in the area.

My team and I find it ironic that they’ve chosen our dealership because Mitsubishi Motors is on record as saying by the year 2020, 20 per cent of its global automotive production will be electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles.

No other car company has embarked on such an ambitious green plan, all for the benefit of our earth and its environment.

Take a drive to Vancouver and you’ll see that city’s municipal fleet stocked with 29 Mitsubishi i-MiEV hatchbacks. The Mitsubishi i-MiEV represents a pioneering, clean technology that produces zero emissions.

Again, it’s sadly ironic that we have to live with an environmental protest against an environmentally caring car company, and the well-meaning, hard-working people that are on my team.

Seeing is believing & believing is seeing

BY ROB AYER Crossroads Community Church

I

n 1998, 77-year-old John Glenn returned to space.

He was overwhelmed with the presence of God. “Looking at the Earth from this vantage point,” he told reporters, “looking at this kind of creation and to not believe in God, to me, is impossible.”

Another retired astronaut, Bryan O’Connor, said an enhanced faith “is pretty common” for astronauts. “I can tell you I felt a sense of awe out there looking at the Earth that I never had before.”

John Milton, in his famous poem “Paradise Lost,” wrote, “In contemplation of created things/ By steps we may ascend to God.” Elisabeth Barrett Browning wrote: “Earth’s crammed with heaven and every common bush afire with God. But only he who sees takes off his shoes/The rest sit round it and pick blackberries.”

What do we see when we look at animal, vegetable and mineral? What do we see when we look to the skies and to the stars?

Do we see the evidence of an ever-evolving, self-sustaining eco-system (as some would suggest)? Do we see a system that— if left to itself—might fall into overgrowth and decay (as some have imagined in documentaries and on film)? Or, do we see a Creator behind this extraordinary creation?

I suppose it’s how we look at it.

On its own, creation is simple and complex: a beautiful mystery. But I think it’s more than aesthetic or intriguing. I think creation reveals its Creator.

C.S. Lewis once said, “Nature

never taught me that there exists a God of glory and of infinite majesty. I had to learn that in other ways. But nature gave the word ‘glory’ a meaning for me.”

The legendary King David of the Bible, however, connected the dots when he wrote: The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the works of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to

the ends of the world (Psalm 19: 1-4).

According to the Bible, creation seems to speak a universal language to the universe which says, “Creation is the glory of God.” Creation is a crowning achievement. It’s a work which reflects the worker and it may deposit a variety of questions in those who see it, such as: Where did this come from? Who made this? What is it saying to me?

We can believe that creation randomly banged into being and has evolved over billions of years. Or we can believe that creation was created by a creative Creator.

We can believe that impersonal forces explain what we see and hear and touch and taste and smell as creation. Or we can believe that there is a very personal force behind it all.

Some have wondered which belief requires more faith. ◗ Rob Ayer is a Catholic come Baptist come Mennonite child of faith thinking out loud at Crossroads Community Church. You can reach him at rob@crossroadscommunity.ca.

It’s not just another day at the beach for stand up paddle board yoga enthusiasts at Cultus Lake

T

he beach at Cultus Lake seemed surprisingly quiet, even for a Sunday morning.

Other than one man standing on the dock fishing and a couple heading out for some early morning kayaking, the members of the stand up paddle board (SUP) yoga class were the only people on the beach.

The lack of boaters out on the lake meant the water was almost completely calm-perfect for SUP yoga.

SUP yoga is essentially just that: yoga on a stand up paddle board, and although the sport has been around for awhile, it’s new to Chilliwack.

Inner Vision Yoga and Sea to Sky Parks have partnered to offer two classes a week for the entire summer at Cultus Lake.

Until now, a lack of equipment prevented Inner Vision Yoga from offering SUP yoga classes.

“We were thrilled about it because it’s something that we’ve been wanting to do but we don’t have boards,” said yoga instructor and studio co-owner Laurea Palmantier.

“They have the boards and we have the yoga so it worked out pretty awesome.”

Surprisingly, yoga and paddle boarding mix together rather well but that doesn’t mean it’s easy.

It was obvious that everyone at the 8 a.m. class that Jennifer Werner, one of the studio’s co-owners, was teaching was familiar with yoga. The same couldn’t be said about paddle boarding, but a quick warmup pad-

dle around the dock and a lesson in the basic techniques of the sport fixed that.

“I find it takes the yoga back to a very elementary kind of practice because you’re working on just balancing on the board first of all,” Werner explained. “It’s a little bit different than traditional yoga alignment. You have to adjust yourself accordingly to stay balanced properly on the board.”

Although SUP yoga may be on the tricky side, no previous experience is required.

“It’s helpful if you’ve maybe been at least on a paddle board before and are able to stand up on a paddle board, but it’s not required,” Werner noted. “We definitely have some very, very beginners that maybe can’t even get standing upright on the board yet and we just tailor things to stay down low. We try to be as accommodating as possible to people and realize that everybody’s at different stages.”

Unlike regular yoga, being a beginner at SUP yoga can lead to a few more awkward moments.

“I’ve had quite a few [people] fall off,” Werner said. “It’s fun though.

That’s the fun part of it, is that you fall and you’re falling into water.”

Despite the occasional wipeout, people still find SUP yoga appealing, especially the outdoor environment.

“Being out in nature is awesome, very conducive to yoga,” Werner said. “I find you have to think about it as more fun. It’s hard to stay that way when you’re outside and you have so much going on around you.”

But it’s not just being outdoors that

makes yoga and paddle boarding a good fit.

“Yoga is pretty nice and slow moving for the most part,” Palmantier added. “They’re both kind of a slower moving, more relaxing type activity.”

Despite the relaxing nature of the sport, SUP yoga might even more exercise than regular yoga.

“I think it’s more of a workout because you’re always trying to balance and stay steady, and you’re trying to work with the elements as well,” Werner said.

Even without the extra bit of exercise, SUP yoga is still mentally challenging.

“On the inward practice of yoga it’s a bit more challenging because of all the distractions,” Palmantier said. “There’s people on the beach and there’s people in boats so it’s a little more challenging to bring your attention to yourself and to what’s going on for you.”

Being out on the lake does not offer the same stillness that a quiet yoga studio does, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. As Werner brought the class to an end, there were much more people on the beach than there had been only an hour earlier.

“It’s new to the area and it’s another challenge to just try out,” Werner said. “At the very least, you’ll have a lot of fun, but you just can’t take yourself too seriously.” ◗ Inner Vision Yoga is offering SUP yoga classes on Sunday mornings and 8 a.m. and Thursday evenings at 7 p.m. For more information or to register visit www.innervisionyoga.ca.

Huskers get Sun-burned again playing in Kelowna

I

n what seemed like deja vu to their previous matchup on the scoreboard, the Okanagan Sun marked the halfway point of the BCFC season with a 66-3 defeat of the Valley Huskers at the Apple Bowl in Kelowna last Saturday.

Holding the Huskers scoreless in the first three quarters, the Sun racked up more than 20 points per frame in the same amount of time, once again showing their control both offensively and defensively.

The loss keeps Chilliwack’s junior

Okanagan club sits atop league with 5-0 record

football team last in the league (0-5) one game behind the Westshore Rebels, while handily increasing the Sun’s grip on first with a perfect record.

When it came to rushing, passing and defence, the Okanagan sun had the upper-hand on Saturday, producing a net offence of 570 yards and holding their visitors to a mere 98 yards.

As testament to the imbalance the Huskers totalled six first downs in the

entire game, with their opponents making 26.

League leading Sun quarterback Josiah Joseph threw 15 passes for 238 yards and three touchdowns. Much of that ground was made by a receiver crew stacked with Kyle Kawamoto (4 rec, 111 yds), Terrance Williams (3 rec, 113 yds, 1 TD) and Kyle Patchell (2 rec, 9 yds, 2 TDs).

In the meantime, Huskers QB Noah

newcomer to the bodybuilding s c e n e, C h i l l i wack’s Leah Ewonchuk won first in her class at the Victoria Cup bodybuilder tournament Aug. 15 at the McPherson Playhouse in the provincial capital.

Ewonchuk took top prize in the figure division, class B open-tall category, narrowly missing an overall victory to the class A entrant.

The five-foot-five certified personal trainer qualified for provincials

and has decided to wait a year and bulk up for the following B.C. competition. If she places in the top five of that tournament, Ewonchuk will be eligible for nationals.

Victoria was her debut in the bodybuilding scene, and after training for two years in preparation there was a last-minute change for the Chilliwack athlete.

“I was training for the bikini [division] and a week out from the show decided to do figure,” she said. “I’m not going back. I love it.”

Falconer completed only nine of his intended 26 throws.

The struggling passer lost three balls to interceptions and came up with 63 total yards for the game.

A majority of Falconer’s passes were caught by receiver Cody Vinish (7 rec, 37 yds).

And the story on the ground was much the same.

Okanagan Sun running back Dillon

Fortune single-handedly bested the total Huskers rushing game (71 yds) for the night carrying nine times for 89 yards and a TD. In defiance of the dominant Sun offence, second year Huskers defensive lineman Travis Dietrich had a breakout game with an impressive seven tackles, two assists and two QB sacks.

The Valley Huskers will travel to Vancouver Island to take on the 3-2 Raiders this Saturday afternoon in their first meeting of the season.

LARGEST OF WHOLESALE SELECTION APPLIANCES

BRAND NAME! • • • • •

S

eeing your request in the Times paper this weekend to express why we love Chilliwack got my blood flowing, which is a good thing on an early Saturday morning.

It seems like I have defended my town Chilliwack for more then 25 years now since arriving on the shores of Vancouver after leaving the flat lands of Holland.

Ever since I set foot in B.C., my choice to pick Chilliwack as my new living destination came with lots of questions of ‘Why Chilliwack?’ The why was never a pleasant surprise why, more like a stinky why. OK, I have to give them that, it can smell here off and on but to me that is the feeling of living in between the farm fields and Mother Nature at your door step—literally.

So I have defended this ‘little’ town for many years. Explained to many snooty friends that we truly

papers for this weekend—lots of activity to do for everyone with hard work of local volunteers, service groups and, yes, city hall itself.

Just to name a few: The 8 Walks in 8 Weeks challenge; outdoor adventurer Will Gadd puts Chiliwack on the map from sky high in a Canon commercial video shoot; locals come out to build a hiking trail on the Eastern Hill sides; pop up piano is coming to Wellington Avenue; and historic walking tours through downtown offered by local volunteers.

Great events and, again, for all of us living in Chilliwack to enjoy without having to be rich. That’s what I like about this place, the city can give you so much without the need to be affluent.

The events, the services offered, Mother Nature on your doorstep is available to most people living and sharing this community.

Yes, you can say I’m passionate about this place and have been happy to defend it over the years because I know my glass in Chilliwack is always half full.

As I have said before, this city has great potential with all that surrounds us, let’s continue to develop it wisely and with taste and by not losing this small community sense of belonging.

Having been fortunate to travel throughout the world I have learned that the grass may look greener on the other side of the fences, but coming home to Chilliwack it is as green as it gets!

Enjoy your Chilliwack.

live in paradise. And so the list goes: Close to travel to Seattle, Vancouver, Whistler and the Okanagan but affordable to buy your own place and not have to join the rat race as people in Vancouver do.

The beauty of the mountain ranges surrounding us, three great lakes, each unique in it own way, world-class wild water rapids and fishing on the local rivers. Outdoors possibilities like mountain biking Vedder mountain and hiking the many trails in the Chilliwack River Valley.

People from all over the world come out here and pay big bucks to enjoy what we can enjoy every day.

Funny . . .

The valley gives us so much produce, locally grown, fresh as fresh can be. What a great feeling to spend your money buying super sweet corn, fruits, vegetables, cheeses, meat, chickens and Verard pork from people you share this community with.

What I truly appreciate the most about what makes Chilliwack great is its community sense, a big city but still with a small town spirit left.

A city where my wife Miriam and I raised our three kids full with everything life has to offer. Coming from abroad, leaving all our family behind, we have had the luck of finding this new home where our kids have felt part of the Chilliwack community all through their childhood and beyond.

Just to give you a snapshot of what Chilliwack has to offer, you only have to look into both local

“I love the community in Chilliwack. Good neighbours, caring teachers at our kids’ school, fun and helpful coaches for energetic little kids, a wonderful church family, smiles on the street when you’re out for a walk... There are kind, considerate, great people all around Chilliwack and we are thankful to be a part of this community.”

- Tracy Friesen “We are surrounded by so much beautiful scenery to behold every day. Premium roads and very acceptable year round weather is close to the best in Canada. And, of course, we get for free, the very informative Chilliwack Times every week!”

- Ron McPherson

“I arrived in Chilliwack the first time as an immigrant with my husband and a young family. We chose Chilliwack believing there would always be work in a mainly farming community and the people would be warm, friendly and down to earth. We were proved right.”

- Jean Anderson

“There is hardly a week that passes without me saying to someone, ‘Chilliwack has to be the most beautiful city in the Fraser Valley!’ But really that is an understatement. I think we could definitely say that Chilliwack is the most beautiful city in B.C., perhaps even in Canada.

It is the perfect size. Not too big, not too small.

Kinda like Goldilock’s porridge, “Just rght!”

“Chilliwack, home away from home. Since I moved to Chilliwack in 2004, I feel I am back home. Incredibly beautiful mountains, lakes, rivers and valleys showers me with affection, tranquility and peace. People around are extremely welcoming, friendly and generous. They are always there to help somebody in need. I consider myself very fortunate to have Po Lam Nunnery where I could go for meditation and experience the friendship, compassion and goodwill among the fellow meditators.”

- Ganga Malla

“My absolute favorite thing about Chilliwack is the lush green farm fields and meadows all around. The slow roads with farm vehicles, horses and donkeys in the fields, beautiful old trees overhanging the roads, lazy streams, fresh nettles in the spring and blackberries in late summer. I love to take a country drive and just drink in the peace and beauty of Chilliwack.

It restores my soul.”

- Abigail Brown

“Chilliwack is one of those rare gems that manages to balance small city hospitality with optimal recreational opportunities, yet is located within a comfortable driving distance to a major city. I love Chilliwack because it provides a balance between majestic mountain ranges, biking and hiking trails galore, lakes and rivers for fishing and boating, and countless cultural opportunities! Chilliwack is an active citizen’s paradise! I love the strong sense of community; where pride and inclusiveness is always present. Chilliwackians have embraced the concept of hearts for service and readily volunteer in a host of important functions to make Chilliwack a better place.”

- School board trustee Walt Krahn “Chilliwack has the big city feel with a small town heart and what I have always loved about Chilliwack are the opportunities that exist to be involved in organizations like Rotary and others, committed to making our community a better place for everyone.

When you realize that you have the desire and time to give back, you quickly come to understand that your involvement makes a significant impact on the efforts of these groups and it is personally very rewarding. Not to mention the great people you meet and get to rub elbows with.”

- Kevin Wood

“I love that almost every time I step foot in the grocery store I run into at least one person I know. It makes shopping a social event and reminds me of all the support and love that we have for each other in our amazing little city.”

“I love the availability of fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, tayberries and wild blackberries, and the sweet, delicious corn! Being able to go a few minutes to catch the tasty salmon while watching the eagles soaring against the majestic mountain backdrop.”

- Patricia Ferguson “I love Chilliwack because this is the city I grew up in. I have a lot of family here and Chilliwack makes me feel at home. I’ve always felt safe here. There are always things to do like activities for children on holidays and even in summer. ” - Serena Williams

Debora Soutar photo

“One of the things I most love about our city, and I never miss an opportunity to remind my fellow MLAs about it, is Chilliwack punches above its weight…in so many ways. We have an incredible group of people in our non-profits, churches, service clubs and business community who do so much to help those who are at a point in their lives where they require assistance.

We are blessed with such a plethora of selfless, hard-working volunteers who make possible much anticipated events such as Flight Fest, Party in the Park, Chilliwack Fair, Village Classic Car Show and many others. We have a long and storied tradition of local farmers who provide us with the freshest, most delicious agri-foods produced anywhere. We also have an abundance of visionaries, innovators and risk takers who create jobs and grow the local economy. And we’re blessed to live in such a beautiful, peaceful part of the world where we’re surrounded by the natural wonders of the great outdoors.”

- MLA John Martin

“I love Chilliwack because it has so many grand trees! We are surrounded by thousands of hectares of forest. The forest beckons us to walk along trails and explore mountain lakes. It gives us prosperity by providing superior wood products. Our forest shelters an abundance of wildlife, and the tree-covered mountains enclose our lovely valley, reminding us every day that wild nature is right next door.”

- Debora Soutar

“ I love my school Evans Elementary and it is a very cool and fair school. I like my teachers and friends. I love field trips because we can learn about beautiful plants by the lake. There are graceful geese swimming in the lake and it’s an amazing view. I love Chilliwack because it has everything we need, like our cows, corn, strawberries, rivers, mountains, trees, climate, honey, salmon and much more.”

- Karen Zhao “I love to show off downtown to our visitors with its cute and interesting shops and my kids absolutely love the sprinkler park!”

Even though the scenery may have been what originally drew Gus to Chilliwack, he couldn’t help but notice the community atmosphere as well.

Gus was convinced that he needed to move to Chilliwack after a day trip out from Langley where he was living at the time.

It wasn’t long after moving to Chilliwack that Gus and his brother opened their first restaurant, New Yorker Steakhouse.

A few years later they opened the Olympic Flame restaurant, and in 1999, Greek Islands.

“As I was leaving Chilliwack the sun was rising and I could see all the beautiful mountains and I said ok, that’s it, I’m moving to Chilliwack,” he explained.

The mountains that all Chilliwack residents are used to seeing on a daily basis, were a welcome sight to Gus. “Chilliwack reminds me of my old home town Sparta,” Gus said.

“My hometown is surrounded with mountains. It’s the same set up.

Everywhere you go, there’s mountains.”

Gus Sahamis is the owner of Greek Islands Restaurant in Chilliwack.

More than 15 years later Gus’ children Yiannis and Effie now run the business with the help of Gus’ son-in-law Kostas and long-time employee Joel Comeult.

The business has become a family tradition and being a new grandfather, Gus hopes that it will continue for future generations.

“My hope is that my grandson will be taking over the business down the road.”

Back to school anxiety? Tips for parents & caregivers

W

ith students heading back to school in September, BC Children’s Hospital is sharing tips on how to help children deal with anxiety and stress.

While some children and youth embrace back-to-school excitement, others need help easing into the school-year routine. Some common worries for children include difficult classes, making new friends and meeting and adjusting to a new teacher. These worries are normal when introducing your child to a new school experience or changing their routine.

Dr. Jane Garland, a psychiatrist with BC Children’s Hospital, recommends parents plan ahead to help ease the back-to-school transition. Whether it is your child’s first day at school, or if they are having a hard time adjusting after summer break, gradually exposing them to their environment can make a big difference.

Tips for parents and caregivers: ◗ Introduce children to the school year routine one to two weeks before school starts ◗ Plan for transitions—getting to school, returning to school after breaks ◗ Provide regular routines – morning,

school, homework, bedtime ◗ Provide clear expectations, limits and consequences ◗ Hold realistic expectations that are right for your child’s age ◗ Help your child identify his or her feelings—nervous, intimidated, shy ◗ Pay attention to your child’s feelings ◗ Ask your child if they have ideas or solutions for a particular concern ◗ Show yourself identifying your own feelings, problem solving and being brave ◗ Remain calm when your child is anxious ◗ Praise and reward even their small accomplishments

Consider seeking more help if your child: ◗ Attempts to remain at home or with a caregiver ◗ Refuses to attend school on certain days (field trips) ◗ Refuses to eat in public ◗ Refuses to use public bathrooms ◗ Constantly worries ◗ Constantly seeks comfort and reassurance ◗ Shows extreme shyness, avoiding social situations or events ◗ Has physical complaints with no medical explanation (stomach aches, headaches, difficulty catching breath)

We are very thankful to everyone who has worked diligently to prepare us for this new school year, including our custodial, maintenance and technology staffs, as well as our district office and many schoolbased staff members.

Back to school shopping tips products. Retailers may have an informed community of savvy shoppers on the blogs or forums who share exclusive coupons, deals and insider information. These alerts will help you not miss any hot back to school trends. ◗ Read the Return Policy— Twice: We recommend that you keep all original packaging for supply items (cellophane, bubble wrap, boxes and all), bring your identification (many stores will need your ID to reverse the charge on your credit or debit card), keep all of your receipts and return/exchange the item(s) as soon as possible, seeing as many stores have a time frame in which shoppers can bring the items back. ◗ Online Shopping: Make sure the websites you use are secure with ‘https://’ and the ‘lock’ icon in the url. Avoid

impulse buys through pop-up ads. Use a trusted pay portal such as PayPal. Monitor your accounts for any transactions you did not approve. ◗ Beware of Potential Form Fraud: With back-to-school shopping comes the filling out of forms for supplies, books, enrollment—you name it. While we can sometimes fall into an auto-haze of filling out information, be careful what information you provide to who. Additionally, keep a copy of the forms you turn in that have sensitive information. ◗ Social Media Scams: While we all love a good deal, be wary of back-to-school coupons and deals you see on social media. Remember: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. These seemingly unbeatable deals are often just a ploy to collect personal information so be careful before you fill out any online form to receive a deal.

Cycling Safety Cycling is a popular mode of transportation for many. Safer City is reminding all Chilliwack cyclists that bicycles must be ridden on the road, with two exceptions. According to the City of Chilliwack’s Highway and Traffic Bylaw 2004, No. 3023, bicycles may be ridden on the sidewalks on Vedder Road between Keith Wilson Road and Luckakuck Way; and on Yale Road from Yale Road West to Alexander Street.

When cycling remember to: • Always wear a bicycle helmet – it’s the law in BC • Ride single file – it’s the law in BC • Ride in designated bike lanes and yield the right of way to pedestrians • Obey all traffic signs, signals and rules of the road • Keep to the right-hand side of the road as much as it is safe to do so • When operating a bike on a roadway you have the same rights and duties as a driver of a vehicle Motorists are reminded to share the road with cyclists.

Watch for cyclists at: • Intersections • Before turning right or left • Before opening your vehicle door • When travelling on roadways, especially when visibility is restricted • When leaving a parking stall or driveway • Do not park, stop or drive in designated bike lanes

chool is not always easy, and some students struggle as they transition from grade to grade.

As students get older, some who may have experienced smooth sailing as youngsters may find they need some extra help grasping the material as coursework becomes more complicated.

Those who need some extra clarification and reinforcement may first turn to their parents. But parents may not be familiar with certain subjects or capable of explaining certain concepts in terms kids can understand. In such situations, tutors can prove to be valuable resource.

One-on-one attention from a tutor can benefit all types of learners. Students who discover newfound success under the guidance of a tutor may have more self-confidence in the classroom. Parents wondering if a tutor can help their children may want to consider the following indicators.

◗ Consistently falling grades: Tutors may be necessary for students whose grades are gradually on the decline. First speak with your child’s teachers, who may recommend tutors that specialize in certain subjects. ◗ Confusion in and out of the classroom: Some kids struggle to grasp certain concepts, and such confusion can sometimes be remedied with the kind of intense study available in tutoring sessions. ◗ Low confidence: Some kids’ confidence wanes when their grades suffer. Kids whose grades have been on the decline may feel a sense of defeat even before they take a test or work on an assignment. ◗ Indifference to coursework: No student will be captivated by every subject he or she studies, but there should be some subjects that students find engaging. Students battling indifference toward their coursework may benefit from a dynamic tutor.

oing back to school is a fun time for your kids. They get to reconnect with friends and teachers and show off their new threads. New back to school outfits and related supplies is big business this time of year. In fact, it’s the second largest spending season of the year and students from kindergarten to university in North America will spend more than $70 billion on new clothes and supplies before heading back to class.

For many families this isn’t an easy price to pay especially if several kids need to be outfitted. There is also the odd scam to be aware of poised to take your hard earned cash.

BBB serving Mainland BC has some tips to help make the trip back to school an easy transition. ◗ Create a Budget: Before you decide to hit the stores for back to school shopping, do a quick price search online so you don’t have to waste time comparing prices from store to store. Make sure to clip or print out coupons, review cash-back/ rebate programs and note expiration dates. ◗ Make a list: This should help prevent impulse buys. ◗ Set up Email Alerts: Observing pricing early is key to finding deals on quality

he benefits of a healthy diet are clear and well documented. In addition to providing the nutrients a growing body needs, consuming a balanced diet helps children maintain a healthy weight. Obesity continues to be a growing problem among school-aged children and can contribute to the onset of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol and many other adverse medical conditions.

Children attending school will eat at least one meal away from home each day.

A healthy lunch provides sound nutrition to give students energy to do well in school and for the rest of the day. Children who do not eat well at lunch may have difficulty concentrating, while others may feel sluggish or tired.

Canada is one of the few leading industrialized countries that does not have a national nutrition strategy to implement healthy school lunches. It’s estimated that only 10 to 15 per cent of Canadian children have access to school meals. These meals are not provided by a well-funded national program, but by a patchwork of individual volunteer efforts, some provincial government funding and corporate donations.

Whether students purchase lunch from school or bring lunch from home, there are ways to guarantee a more diverse offering and better nutrition. Here are some guidelines to follow. ◗ Offer nutrient-dense foods. Foods should contribute to the daily recommended amounts of protein, iron, calcium, vitamin A and vitamin C. Provide a selection of foods, such as lean protein, whole grains, fruits and vegetables, that

Nutrient-dense foods also help kids feel fuller, longer. ◗ Limit fat intake. Avoid foods that do not get their fat from polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. Saturated fats can lead to obesity and clogged arteries. ◗ Let kids choose some of their food.

Allow kids to pick some of the healthy foods they will be eating. Giving kids a say in their diets will make them more likely to enjoy their lunches and cut back on snack foods. Eating meals regularly will keep energy levels up during school and make kids less likely to reach for unhealthy snacks to fill hunger gaps. ◗ Make small changes that add up.

Switching from white bread to whole grain breads, and opting for low-fat dairy products instead of full-fat dairy products can make a world of difference. Kids may not notice a change in texture or flavor, and many of kids’ favorite foods, such as chicken nuggets, pizza and macaroni and cheese, can be made with healthier ingredients.

Garrison Village gets funky

BY VANESSA BROADBENT vanessa.broadbent@chilliwacktimes.com

ummer may be coming to an end, but the season of street festivals is not quite over.

Businesses in Garrison Village have come together to host the first ever Garrison Village Festival.

Envision Financial’s branch manager Ruth Maccan has been working with many of the Village’s businesses to plan the event.

“We had talked about the idea of planning a fun, free family event to help bring awareness about what we have to offer here at the Village,” she explained. “[We’re] hoping to get people in the Village that haven’t had the chance to come by the Village to see what stores are here and check us out.”

Chilliwack has seen its fair share of festivals and markets, but the organizers of the Garrison Village festival are hoping that theirs will be a bit different.

Hoping to create a Palm Springs night market type of festival

“We’re hoping to kind of create almost a Palm Springs night market festival,” Maccan explained.

Along with over 40 vendors including community groups and local businesses, shops in the Village will be open late for the event.

“They’ll all have a spot in front of their store to highlight what they do and what their products are,” Maccan said.

The event will also feature live music, food trucks, a kid zone, a climbing wall and even an art walk hosted by the Chilliwack Community Arts Council with several local artist’s work displayed in various businesses.

Although the event is free, Maccan noted that Envision Financial will be accepting cash or non-perishable food donations for the Full

Cupboard where “100 per cent of everything raised, whether food or cash, goes to the Salvation Army food bank here in Chilliwack.”

“If everybody brings one can, that’s a lot of food that we can give to the Salvation Army,” she added.

This is the first time Garrison Village has hosted a festival and Maccan is excited to showcase the area to the community.

“I think it’s just a great way to spend a Friday evening,” she said.

“It’s going to be a really fun family event … to check out just what Chilliwack has to offer and specifically what Garrison Village has to offer.”

AND FILL YOUR WELL

◗ The Garrison Village festival is on Aug. 28 from 5 to 8 p.m. at Garrison Village.

Children’s Art Festival held at G.W. Graham

High blood pressure is called the silent killer. If your BP is higher than normal, try to get it down to about 120/80. For many people it is easy to control. If it does not work for you we refund your money. On our website you will find over 50 testimonials with full names and towns from all over USA and Canada. Most of them have listed phone numbers and are happy to talk about the relief they had. No money was paid for testimonials. Dr. C. Hammoud M.H., Ph.D. recommends this effective fish peptide blood pressure natural product. So does Dr. Julian Whitaker M.D. Truthful actual experiences from real people: <I was on 3 blood pressure drugs that did not work well. After starting Bell #26 my readings are generally well below 120/80. Dona A. Anderson, 76, Sooke, BC < My blood pressure was 157/90 and I had side effects from prescription drugs. I bought a monitor.

After 6 months on Bell #26 I was down to 120/80. Toni L. McCuistion, 52, Elizabethtown, PA < Blood pressure went from 170/110 down to 110/70. Was on three medications that didn’t help. Within a month on Bell#26 my BP dropped to 110/70. I thought I didn’t need it anymore and the BP went up to 170/110 again. I will now stay on Bell. I am surprised about its effectiveness without side effects. Bell exceeds my expectations. Patrick McManus, 52, Edmonton, AB < At work my driver’s medical test was too high at 170/100. After taking Bell #26 for a few days I went down to 128/84 which allowed me to pass my work medical.
