Adrianne Roberts shares what it’s like to live with schizophrenic symptoms, seek help and come out of the experience with a positive mindset.

BY GREG LAYCHAK glaychak@chilliwacktimes.com Adrianne Roberts was one of the chosen few.

She was being monitored by satellites, selected for her uniqueness, and her watchers were able to communicate directly to her wherever she was.

At first it was entertaining, but things quickly got intense for the young Chilliwack woman.

“It would switch over from really positive thoughts like, ‘I love you. You’re special. Keep going. You’re doing well,’” Roberts says. “Then all of a sudden it would be like, ‘You’re dying.

You’re gonna die. There’s no point in existing.’”

She was 24 at the time and still had not been diagnosed with schizophrenia, but was struggling to make sense of what was happening to her. { See EYE, page A23 }

orn, hay, cranberries, sure, but prime farmland in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) in the Fraser Valley is no place to grow marijuana.

That was the position of Chilliwack city council two years ago with regard to medical marijuana grow operations (MMGOs), but now the provincial government has ordered the city to allow exactly that.

“It’s unfortunate and disheartening that the province is forcing us into compliance,” Coun. Chris Kloot said at Tuesday’s council meeting.

On May 7, the provincial government amended the ALR rules to say federally licensed medical marijuana production is a farm use, and all municipalities needed to write new bylaws to regulate, but not prohibit, marijuana growing in the ALR. Two years ago, on Sept. 3, 2013, council adopted a series of text { See WEED, page A18 }

he number of countries Katrin Einarsdottir has not visited is about one-third the size of the number of ones she has.

The Chilliwack born-and-raised globetrotter doesn’t just love to travel she lives to travel and has visited more nations than most people can name.

“Ever since I was young I was into travelling,” she said on a five-day stopover in Chilliwack recently for her sister’s wedding.

“I’m still not married, no babies. I just work to travel.”

And if Einarsdottir’s story sounds at all familiar, that might be because of a Times story from five years ago on Sept. 10, 2010: “200 before she’s 30; Chilliwack native has lofty travel goal.”

In it, the then 23-year-old Sardis secondary grad had visited 53 countries and had the lofty goal of hitting 200 before she turned 30.

Back then she had visited all seven continents, including Antarctica, but had just begun on her numerical tackling of the world’s nations. Now, at 28, she’s been to 154 countries and she thinks she can hit her target.

But how many countries are there on the planet? As any follower of geopolitics will tell you, it changes all the time.

The United Nations recognizes 193. Google the question and the first response is a confident 196. Since Taiwan isn’t considered an official country by many, although it operates as one, the tally is actually 195.

By one measure, on the other hand, a state must have a government and be in a position to diplomatically interact with

Then, if you add places recognized by Iceland, where she was born to an Icelandic some countries, such as Palestine or the father and Guyanese mother, who still lives Cook Islands, the number could be as high in Chilliwack. as 230.

eave a book. Take a book.

Return a book.

That’s the concept behind Little Free Libraries that have popped up around the Lower Mainland and across North America in recent years.

Chilliwack now has at least one with one more set to launch its very public literary lending philosophy next week.

Almost a year ago Daris Lapointe decided she wanted to create a little “book hotel” somewhere in her neighbourhood where people could take a book, return it later or even keep it. The concept encourages folks to drop off good books as well.

According to the folks behind LittleFreeLibrary.org, the movement began in 2009 when Todd Bol of Hudson, Wisconsin built a model of a one-room schoolhouse, filled it with books and put it on a post in his front yard with a sign that said “FREE BOOKS.” From there the movement grew and two years later there were nearly 400 Little Free Libraries across the U.S. And those were just the ones registered with the organization. { See LIBRARIES, page A25 }

Public outcry sways school board

BY GREG LAYCHAK glaychak@chilliwacktimes.com

T

he Chilliwack school board voted unanimously Monday to change the bus status of Promontory children attending school at G.W. Graham middle secondary from courtesy to eligible ridership.

It was the only item up for decision at the last-minute meeting, which stemmed from a large inflow of calls to the district about the matter.

“Probably 80 per cent of the phone calls I got [related to busing] were people, not upset about paying, but paying the higher fee,” said

Last-minute meeting decides it’s not a ‘courtesy’ to ride the bus from Promontory for G.W. kids school district secretary treasurer Gerry Slykhuis. “By far most of the complaints were that it shouldn’t be courtesy for the Promontory kids.”

He said the board was appreciative of the community input and that trustees reacted to the facts in making their decision.

Promontory residents were previously designated as courtesy riders because they do not live outside the four-kilometre walk limit by

public road radius. Those families are now considered an exception to the rule.

Uphill travel and student safety were the main considerations for the board in their decision.

“The four kilometres up that hill is not the same as four kilometres elsewhere in town,” said Slykhuis.

Courtesy riders pay a fee of $350 per student and eligible riders pay $215 this year for busing.

$36 million investment at Rogers

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

A

$36-million expansion of the Rogers Foods mill in Chilliwack will increase the facility’s capacity by 80 per cent, and bring a handful of new jobs to the community.

Japanese parent company Nisshin Seifun announced on Aug. 28 the construction of an additional flour milling unit at the Chilliwack facility located on Simpson Road near South Sumas and Lickman roads.

Neighbourhood BBQ!

Mill facility will expand by 80 per cent, handful of new jobs created “With a large population base, a wide acceptance of Japanese food culture, and a growing market for specialty flours, the West Coast region is an attractive market,” the Tokyo-based company said in a press release.

The $36-million project will be an opportunity for various contractors during construction, according to the company.

At: #1-45953 Airport Road Chilliwack

Nine new employees will be hired upon completion, which is expected in the fall 2017.

Rogers Foods Ltd. is now the fourth largest flour milling company in Canada, according to its parent company. Rogers was acquired

by Nisshin in 1989 and is 90 per cent owned by the Nisshin Seifun Group, which is listed on the Nikkei 225 index.

Storm shows our vulnerability

◗ Publisher

I

n the wake of the severe windstorm that hit the Lower Mainland last weekend—and the subsequent power failures that left thousands of BC Hydro customers without electricity as of Tuesday morning—one has to wonder what an honest-to-goodness crisis in this region would look like.

Although one can’t minimize the damage the violent gusts wreaked on trees and adjacent powerlines, this was not, after all, a tornado, an earthquake or a tsunami.

It’s sobering that it only takes a strong wind to show us how thin the veneer of civilization is for a society so reliant on electrical devices.

Many realized quickly that all their lines of communication—not to mention information and diversion —were instantly severed or subject to very finite limits.

Computers were down, big-screen TVs were out. Even such rechargeables as cellphones, iPods, iPads and laptops were quickly running out of juice—sending people running for places to plug in.

When the comforts of our technology-addicted society are suddenly denied us, we need to use it as an opportunity to test our self-reliance. We would be foolish indeed if we didn’t let this latest incident serve as a lesson to renew our emergency supplies.

You’ve heard this story before

T

here is a persistent deja vu in reporting as we cover the same events year after year; the same issues come up again and again.

Each spring we wonder if the freshet will threaten the dikes. Each summer we see if the sockeye return in big enough numbers to go fishing. It feels like every autumn there is an election, and, like good Canadians, in winter we write about the weather.

Beyond the seasonal issues are the stories specific to Chilliwack that come back again and again and again.

Just this week I admit to being surprised (naively?) to see controversy arise, yet again, about Cultus Lake beach-lovers inconvenienced from using a shortcut through the Soowahlie reserve. This is a piece of land set aside for this First Nation that is the relative size of a postage stamp in the middle of the territory they have as of yet not ceded.

When I first came to Chilliwack nine years ago the issue was as hot as it is now. In August 2006 a woman wrote us a letter to complain about being treated badly for taking the shortcut.

“They say we are racist, but who brought it on themselves by doing what they did that weekend?”

This week it came up again when

PAUL J. HENDERSON @peejayaitch some Soowahlie band members charged $20 to people to take the shortcut after felled trees blocked the regular route. It sounded like extortion and online anger rained down. I don’t know for sure where these folks were asking for the money but if it was on Soowahlie Road there is, of course, Sleepy Hollow Road, another slightly longer way to get to Cultus. If that’s true, no one was trapped, they were, again, mildly inconvenienced.

Speaking again to the deja vu, something I wrote 13 months ago on this subject was posted online, commented on by a few people, and even garnered in-person and telephone responses.

This was an Aug. 6, 2014 column after Soowahlie band members put up a gate on the road.

All of Cultus Lake and the surrounding area is unceded Soowahlie territory.

Many Chilliwack residents—including me—live in the area and respect the fact that we live on land we may own legally

but that the original users/keepers were never compensated for.

There were some online comments on the 2014 column, but in recent days new comments appeared, from some who thought the column was fresh. In part I wrote about people who “complain because the residents of that reserve, sick and tired of your speeding, your dust, your insolence, your self-importance—to say nothing of your colonialism, your residential schools and your seething racism—block the road so you can’t get through.”

Someone I know approached me Tuesday to say they liked it. I pointed out it was a year old. He knew that. Earlier in the day someone else called to argue that I made a generalization about Cultus Lake beach-goers, which was unfair. He said it was inaccurate to paint Soowahlie trespassers as people “with empty beer cans in the cooler in your trunk, sun screen and sweat stinking up your clothes.”

Agreed, but I explained the writing was a column not a news story and that the sentence was a piece of rhetoric, even a flourish, at least a bit of a joke. He actually seemed to accept that, in the end.

And the column is, I tried to point out,

more than a year old. Why call now?

This week’s incident solicited near identical online comments to ones from last year and eight years ago. The online backlash was angry, even racist at times.

Jim Haslett said “Maybe the natives should be forced to pay for using public roads. Shame on the Soowalie [sic].”

Lesley Thomey: “way to go you imbicils in time if need ....hope help doesn’t come your way when a later disaster comes about...tools!” “‘We should charge them $30 to leave the reserve,” another person suggested.

Barbara Bird: “Lets just see how grateful you are when you need us in the next disaster.”

The Soowahlie aren’t going anywhere, and with major residential development planned at both ends of the lake, the population around Cultus Lake is only set to grow.

“I’m amazed, frankly, at the restraint Soowahlie band members have shown over the last decade,” was the last line of my Aug. 6, 2014 column.

Clearly that patience and restraint is wearing thin.

This problem is not going away and we’ll likely be hearing about it for years to come.

See you next summer.

When it’s gone, it’s gone forever, protect Cultus Lake

NEW CLINIC

➤ LETTERS

Online: www.chilliwacktimes.com Email: editorial@chilliwacktimes.com Mail: 45951 Trethewey Ave., Chilliwack, B.C. V2P 1K4 Letters must include first and last name, and a daytime phone number. Please remember, brevity is the soul of wit. example, the eutrophication challenge to the lake caused by our sewage treatment process (or lack thereof) as well as the effects of fertilizers and other chemicals draining into the lake from Columbia Valley.

Some very good work is being done to recognize and mitigate the effects of human activity on the lake and its shores. Unfortunately, no one seems to be addressing the obvious fact that there is still no limit on how many power boats can be operating on this relatively small lake at any given time. There are currently more than two hundred buoys set up along the Cultus shoreline for leaseholders to anchor their boats. This does not even begin to number the day use boats and boats used by the residents of Lindell Beach.

What we fail to see as helpful is any consideration by anyone to further reduce the natural state of Cultus Park by turning (destroying) parkland into other things: subdivisions, hotels, apartments, etc.

Each tree cut down, each piece of forest turned into a subdivision or a parking lot is a “forever” move.

Once out of the park, forever out of the park.

There is a defined residential area in Cultus composed of new homes as well as many cabins that could eventually be rebuilt. As this land has already been removed from its natural state, we do not oppose redevelopment in this case.

There are enough of these homes to keep the local builders going for years.

But that is where it needs to end. Developers should put their talents elsewhere other than in this park. Local authorities should fulfil their mandate to “protect and preserve” the park. There will always be ways to fund infrastructure projects without destroying parkland. Once it is gone, it is gone forever.

Protect our park.

This city still has good vibes Editor: I moved here to Chilliwack more than 20 years ago and the longer I live here the more I congratulate myself for making that decision.

Over the years I have seen many examples of how kind and friendly this city can be. Folks waving to and talking to strangers, holding doors, helping out with whatever needs doing, just generally being good neighbours.

The past week has raised my admiration for this place even higher. The support and comfort given to a family whose restaurant business was being threatened by illness in the family. The taxi driver and his fare that chased money up and down a street and return it and a wallet to its rightful owner. These actions make me glad to be here.

There is a helping and compassionate atmosphere in this place and I am proud to be a citizen of

Change needs to happen Editor: Re: Baby changing stations.

My wife and I are fairly new to Chilliwack, and have been recently enjoying some events at the Heritage Park. We saw the dressage show this past weekend and the Vintage in the Valley a few weeks back. We really like the facility and the variety of programs shown there.

However, I personlly have found that the facilities (and many other places in town) are lacking proper changing stations in the men’s restroom.

I am a very proud father of a five-month-old baby girl, and quite enjoy sharing in the care and responsibility of raising our daughter. It poses a challenge when I walk into a restroom that does not have proper changing equipment. Can we please pose some sort of health regulation that requires equal gender accessibility to a changing station? This problem can be solved in numerous ways.

1. Family restrooms.

2. Install more changing stations.

3. Gender neutral restrooms.

4. Public changing stations in a common area This is an important issue and it would be great if the city could accommodate gender equality on this matter.

Remmert has it exactly right

Editor: I want to personally thank you for your choice of winner for the I Love Chilliwack contest, (Remmert Hinlopen).

His submission was broad and inclusive, which is how I feel about Chilliwack as well, having moved here from the Lower Mainland, for the exact reasons that he pointed out (Editor’s Note: A random draw was conducted for the winner of the I Love Chilliwack contest . . . although we agree, his letter was fantastic).

As a board member of the newly formed, non-profit Heritage Chilliwack Society, I am honoured that he mentioned our first ever mini downtown walking

tours, featured at Party In The Park.

We want to be part of Chilliwack’s greatness and future growth. Heritage and historical preservation are great draws for tourism, which not only enhance businesses but honour and respect Chilliwack’s pioneers. If you agree with this, then we need your support, so please keep watch for our future events and fundraisers.

Candidates miss the mark Editor: Re: Infrastructure questions (Times, Aug. 27).

Great question for the candidates on the most pressing infrastructure concerns.

Sorry all the candidates missed the mark, they are so far out of touch with the economy of Chilliwack. Gosh I almost thought we may have had a shinning light in the federal election, but alas, things are pleasantly in the tank.

Lickman Road overpass upgrade is the number one municipal pressing concern.

The hopeful candidates would well serve the community by getting with the proposed program.

Editor: An open letter regarding the current proposals to develop Cultus Lake Park.

We live in Cultus Lake Park and we oppose changes which threaten this park. There are many definitions of park but the ones that were used when Cultus Lake Park was created were something like these: “An area of land, usually in a largely natural state, for the enjoyment of the public, having facilities for rest and recreation, often owned, set apart, and managed by a city . . . .” or “An area of land set aside for public use, as: a piece of land with few or no buildings within or adjoining a town, maintained for recreational and ornamental uses.”

Cultus Lake has a park board which, according to its website, is “accountable for the protection and preservation of the 640 acres of park land surrounding a small stretch of beach on the eastern shore of the lake.” (http://l.facebook. com/l/JAQE9xVoyAQFGg_EO-bxRmrqS-m0dTDrgO-blLie5cqFV5Q/ www.cultuslake.bc.ca/ governance/) The very definition of a park ensures an area set aside from normal development to allow people to recreate in and enjoy a natural setting. The Park Board’s fundamental responsibility is to protect the park.

We acknowledge that people live in this park and businesses operate in this park. However, if history could be rewritten, we probably shouldn’t be here. The truth is that we residents haven’t made the natural setting any better and neither have the businesses that operate here. What we in fact do is stressful and quite antagonistic towards the natural setting we are in.

CHILLIWACK TIMES TIMES CHILLIWACK

› Faith Today

BY VERN TOMPKE Chilliwack Vineyard

P

erhaps one of the most influential voices of popular culture today is John Oliver who hosts the weekly HBO show entitled Last Week Tonight.

Recently John turned his verbal guns on a particular brand of televangelists who prey on and abuse the poor, the weak and the vulnerable through their unique brand of “prosperity teaching.”

While the John Oliver piece contains its usual heavy dose of profanity and mockery, he exposes those who use their preaching platform, tax-free status, slick marketing and the national airwaves to abuse others in the name of religious freedom.

Using his scathing wit, he shows how preachers have taken ideas such as “seed faith” and promised their eager or desperate listeners that the more you “seed” (yes, even using borrowed money) the more you will reap in return directly from God.

These “Prosperity Preachers” are quick to remind us that “you can’t out give God” (especially when it comes to sending THEM money).

I have personally met far too many believers who had their sensitivity to spiritual matters cleverly manipulated by such a message. The end result has usually been disillusionment with God when the “scriptures” in question never worked as promised. Just as sexual abuse victims struggle to reclaim a picture of healthy intimacy, so the victims of this spiritual abuse are robbed of the freeing message that God truly does care about every area of our lives (including finances) and promises to be a God who provides for his children (like the birds of the air).

Sure John Oliver does begin his piece by saying that there are many churches who are a part of helping and caring for the poor among the other good works they do. I also know from personal experience that our charitable organizations in Canada are under more rigorous

monitoring than our American counterparts. At the same time it is not easy to come away from John’s diatribe feeling positive about those who speak in the name of Christianity. Perhaps the reason is that we who claim to be Christians have been unwilling to call a spade a spade in the fear of looking like we are once again fighting amongst ourselves. Perhaps we can all learn a tragic lesson about people’s perception from our Islamic neighbours. When the message of one’s faith is hijacked by the extremists of any faith,

most people aren’t able (or care) to make the finer distinctions about what one’s faith really teaches. Is it surprising then that some people believe that all churches are simply concerned with taking your money.

For those who may still feel uncomfortable that I have crossed the line in questioning other fellow ministers, I guess I can turn to the apostle Paul in my defense. When Paul confronted preachers who were telling vulnerable Christians that they needed to be circumcised to earn God’s favour and blessing he essentially says of them “I wish they would go the whole way and castrate themselves”.

Heck I think I’m being pretty tame—I just wish that these prosperity teachers would cut off their broadcasts! So thank you John Oliver for wielding the scalpel so effectively where we apparently couldn’t or wouldn’t use it ourselves. ◗ Vern Tompke is the Team Coach at the Vineyard Community Centre.

Raiders ride roughshod over Huskers Nanaimo 53 T Valley 0 he Valley Huskers posted another loss last weekend unable to put points on the scoreboard during their visit to Nanaimo, bringing their record to 0-6 in the season.

At home in Caledonia Park the Vancouver Island Raiders defeated the Huskers 53-0, handing the Chilliwack team their third shutout loss this year, as the BCFC moved past the season’s halfway mark.

The Huskers were left again with a substantial scoring margin deficit that takes them to a -311 point difference (41 for, 352 against) after the Raiders controlled both offence and defence Saturday.

Vancouver Island came out strong with three touchdowns in the first quarter, adding points in each of the remaining frames including two safeties against the guests.

With the help of quarterback

Liam O’Brien (405 yds, five TDs) and his receiving stars Dustin Rodriguez (177 yds, one TD) and Taylor Flavel (114 yds, two TDs), the Raiders amassed 627 yards of net offence, much of it in the air.

The island squad defence kept the Huskers offence to 86 yards rushing and 93 yards passing.

Most of those gains in Huskers receiving came from Jesse Deering (three rec, 49 yds), with his running back teammate Jackson Ryan (15 carries, 74 yds) carrying for almost half the Huskers total yield.

The Valley team’s quarterback Noah Falconer struggled to complete his throws, hitting his mark six out of 17 times and giving two

passes to the Raiders defence.

But defensive lineman Travis Dietrich for his part continued to cause havoc behind the opposing line of scrimmage, adding three more sacks to his tally putting him second overall in the category with five this season.

His companion on the line, Chilliwack native Raphael Olivares contributed by burying the Raider QB twice.

ocal 11-year-old wakeboarder Kory McCann won silver at the Canadian National Wakeboard Championships in the late August tournament at Valley Wake Park in Abbotsford.

The Chilliwack athlete was the youngest competitor in the boys 13-and-under division to compete among the 70 amateur and pro boarders in the event.

McCann won gold at the provincial and bronze in the 2014 National Wakeboarding Championship. His brother, 12-year-old Kaden McCann, also competed in his brother’s division, finishing third in his heat.

The McCanns attracted further sponsorship at the event, joining the Liquid Force family as sponsored regional team riders, adding to earlier won pairings with Monster Army, Rockwell Watches and Spy Optics.

Kory will also be featured as “Sports Kid of the Month” in Sports Illustrated for Kids in the October 2015 issue.

The Prospera Centre announced last week that its arena and grounds, including parking lots are now smoke free. Smoking will not be permitted, and a no re-entry policy will be strictly enforced by staff. “While we recognize these policies may be a challenge to a few, the vast majority of our hockey and event fans will appreciate that they are a very positive changes for our facility,” said Prospera Centre president Glen Ringdal. “As the leading sports facility in the city, we believe it is important that we adhere to healthy living and lifestyles.” The new policies include all forms of smoking tobacco and e-cigarettes.

Clapp moved to sev-

enth from 67th on the Order of Merit with three events to go this season. That move puts him in contention to finish in the top five and earn Web.com Tour status for next year.

Surrey Eagles swept by Chiefs

The Chilliwack Chiefs swept their exhibition schedule debut series against the Surrey Eagles, winning 4-2 in Surrey Friday night and 5-2 back at Prospera Centre the next evening. Kohen Olischefski scored two power play goals Friday, and Kale Kane put two away in Saturday’s victory when the Chiefs outshot the Eagles 51-20.

In a close third exhibition game captain Jordan Kawaguchi scored the game-winner with 8.8 seconds left in the third frame for a 4-3 Chilliwack win over Coquitlam.

The Chiefs will host Mainland division and BCHL newcomers, the Wenatchee Wild this Friday at 7 p.m.

CANADIAN COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER AWARD 2014

Thursday, September September 03, 03, 2015 2015 A13 A13 Thursday,

➤ From growing food at home to the politics of the ALR, The Eaten Path is an ongoing feature that looks at what we eat, how it is produced and the path our food takes to our table.

Welcome to

the agri-burbs

A

new residential development in Chilliwack will include a working four-hectare farm complete with orchards, berry fields, vegetable gardens and farm market.

Owners of the 129 country-style homes on the site will be able to get their hands dirty—if they care to— planning, planting, harvesting and processing the farm’s produce with the help of a full-time groundskeeper/farmer.

Developer Steven Van Geel’s father Jon coined the term “recreational agriculture” for his idea to take the community garden concept built into the family’s recently completed vacation home project and turn it up a few notches by incorporating a working farm into a residential neighbourhood.

While large-scale developments have often been centred around

Chilliwack developer selling the farm experience amenties such as parks, lakes or golf courses, the Van Geels’ idea is a unique throwback to simpler times.

“We wanted to create a place where people could get back to their roots in a more meaningful way than just sharing a plot in a community garden,” said Van Geel. “This will be an interactive site where you can show the kids how things grow.”

Prospective buyer James Commerford is attracted to the country lifestyle for his wife Corey and their children, eight and 10 years of age.

“Getting the kids away from the city, they learn that they don’t need to be so busy, and getting involved in growing things is going to be great,” he said. “When we go out that way we like to stop at farms and pick up some apples, so I can see that for sure.”

An insurance broker by day, Commerford lacks the experience and

expertise to run his own hobby farm.

“We don’t have to jump into running an acreage where you have to do a ton of work,” he said. And a full-time farmer is a perfect bridge over the knowledge gap.

“Having a farmer on the site will be great, and the gardens will be a focus for sharing and community gatherings,” he said. “The agricultural side is intriguing and I think it could take off.”

The community—Creekside Mills at Cultus Lake—occupies 15 hectares of the now-defunct 32-hectare Soutar family farm, part of which was under the protection of the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR).

But Van Geel’s unusual development plan actually required an increase in the amount of land in the ALR. To make the site work, 1.66 hectares of ALR land was excluded from the reserve for residences and 2.41

added in another location, for a net gain in protected land of about 45 per cent, he said. The four hectares in agricultural use are in the ALR and must remain so, under a restrictive covenant negotiated as part of the exclusion and rezoning process.

“A large part of the property has to be in agricultural use under that covenant, a lot of that will be berry fields and the orchard,” said Van Geel.

“If some of the residents want to take some of that land and plant corn that will be up to them.”

The property’s shared facilities include a clubhouse, a barnlike structure with a kitchen suitable for gatherings or large-scale canning, baking, preserving and processing the farm’s fruit and vegetables for personal use or sale at the farm market.

“If people want to make pies or whatever for the farm market they can use that space,” Van Geel said.

“If you just want to walk out into the orchard and pick an apple and that’s all you want to do, that’s fine too.”

The Van Geels’ project appears to be part of an emerging trend to integrate residential communities with agricultural uses.

Delta’s 950-home Southlands project is finally moving forward after a decades-long fight over the 1981 exclusion of the land from the ALR. The Century Group transferred ownership of 171 hectares—most of the former Spetifore farm—to Delta along with $9 million to improve the land for farm use. Delta intends develop a community farm on the site and return nearly 121 hectares of that property to the ALR. Langley is home to High Point Estates, a so-called “equestrian community” of 164 properties with an elaborate equestrian centre, clubhouse, trails and barn for horses and their owners. Equestrian residential developments are common in many parts of the United States.

Backpack safety prevents injuries

T

rips and falls on the playground may account for the majority of injuries that send school children to the nurse’s office.

But backpacks cause their fair share of injuries as well.

Children routinely carry more than the recommended weight in school backpacks and, compounding the problem, also carry their bags incorrectly.

Medical agencies recommend that a child’s backpack should weigh no more than 10 to 20 per cent of the child’s body weight. However, this figure should be adjusted based on a child’s fitness level and strength. That means that the average seven-year-old second grader who weighs between 55 and 60 pounds should be carrying no more than 11 to 12 pounds in his or her backpack.

A backpack that is too heavy may cause: ◗ red marks on the shoulders or back from the straps; ◗ tingling or numbness in the arms and back; ◗ changes in posture when wearing the backpack; and ◗ pain anywhere in the back.

To compound these problems, which also may include nerve damage resulting from pressure on nerves in the shoulders, children should lighten their loads and carry backpacks correctly. The following tips are some additional ways youngsters can prevent backpack-related injuries. ◗ Carry only necessary items.

Children should only carry what is required for that particular school day in their backpacks. ◗ Distribute weight evenly.

Items in the backpack should be spread out to distribute the weight across the entire back.

Heavier items should be at the bottom of the pack. ◗ Use both straps. Using only one strap shifts the backpack weight to one side, causing the back and shoulders to strain. ◗ Choose the correct backpack size. The size of the backpack should match the scale of the child and should rest evenly in the middle of the child’s back. ◗ Lift safely. Children should lift their backpacks by bending their knees and lifting to protect their backs.

Back to school means elevated risk of lice for students

M

illions of children will soon be heading back to the classroom. Although the return of school may elicit smiles from parents who have spent the entire summer trying to keep kids busy and out of trouble, when kids start bringing home notices of head lice outbreaks, those wide grins may fade.

Although head lice can strike just about anyone anywhere, it seems to proliferate in close quarters, like those of a typical classroom. Children who keep backpacks and belongings beside other students’ items may unwittingly pick up lice and bring them home, where they can infect the child and other members of the family.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says lice are parasitic insects that can be found on people’s heads and bodies. Lice feed on human blood. There are three types of lice that live on humans: head louse, body louse and pubic “crab” louse. Only the body louse is known to spread disease.

Lice are wingless parasites that can only crawl to their host for feeding.

They cannot jump or fly like fleas. By and large, lice are relatively harmless creatures, though they can be a nuisance. Lice bites are known to

Lice do not signal that a person has bad hygiene, and a child who contracts lice should not be embarrassed. Lice are a common problem among students.

appearance, and they are usually no larger than a sesame seed. They can move fast, so usually lice infestation is identified by spotting the lice eggs, which are called nits. These look like tiny, yellow or tan dots before they hatch. Lice lay nits on the hair shaft close to the scalp. This is the ideal tem-

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.

perature for keeping the eggs warm until they hatch. Many lice nymphs will feed on blood every day to grow into adult lice. However, a louse can survive up to two days off of the scalp.

That means a person can “catch” lice from a hat or a piece of clothing if a louse climbed into the material.

Treating head lice means ridding the head of all nits and adult lice. A special comb is used to capture the tiny eggs. This can be a painstaking process, particularly for children with long hair. Topical insecticides in lotion and shampoo are used to kill the lice. However, these products may not penetrate the nits, so the topical solution may need to be applied several days later to kill any emerging lice.

The best way to combat lice is to emphasize prevention. Children should not share combs, brushes, scarves, hats, or other clothing. They also should avoid close physical contact with someone who has lice.

Should a child get lice, he or she should stay home from school and the nurse should be notified. Wash all objects that the child has used and launder all clothes, towels, linens, and other items in hot water to kill any lice. Vacuum the home frequently to remove lice or fallen hairs with attached nits from upholstered furniture and rugs.

Back to school season reintroduces kids and their parents to lice. Parents and their kids can take certain preventive measures to greatly reduce youngsters’ risks of coming down with lice.

Worried about pesticides

{ WEED, from page A1 } amendments to the zoning bylaw to regulate MMGOs only in a special industrial zone, in effect prohibiting the grow-ops on farmland.

But senior staff informed council Tuesday that a bylaw that prohibits MMGOs (now called Medical Marihuana Production Facilities or MMPFs) in the ALR “will have no force and effect” under the Agricultural Land Commission Act. At Tuesday’s council meeting, Mayor Sharon Gaetz responded to Kloot’s concerns and said the big issue back in 2013 was not only the use of arable land for the cultivation of marijuana, but also the disposal of pesticides and fertilizers, setbacks, odours and security.

Coun. Chuck Stam asked if the city could not create a special zone within the ALR, much like ones that already exist to allow for things like feedmills.

“I think [MMGOs] would be as impactful as some of the other [agricultural] zone uses,” Stam said.

Chief administrative officer Peter Monteith told council that Stam’s suggestion might go against the spirit of the provincial government’s mandate to allow for marijuana growing on ALR land.

“Council can do what they wish but I’m not sure that wouldn’t get us into hot water with the province,” Monteith told Stam.

Supposed medical marijuana growing has been conducted in commercial areas of Chilliwack and agricultural areas for years, despite the concerns from nearby businesses and residents.

Another concern not addressed at city council this week, but brought up two years ago, is that farmers in the city limits are essentially subsidized by commerical and residential taxpayers, meaning that marijuana growing for supposedly medical purposes would get a break in the city’s lowest tax bracket.

“I think most people would be appalled to think they were subsidizing marijuana growers,” Gaetz said in 2013.

An exhibition of vibrant creativity, the Chilliwack Spinners and Weavers Guild will feature works revolving around a theme well-known to all, the kitchen. An opening reception will be held Sept. 12 at The Art Room.

In 1974, Mildred Renz had a vision to make the art of weaving a part of life and set out to form a weaving group. The group coalesced into the Chilliwack Spinners and Weavers Guild dedicated to the preservation and continuation of spinning and weaving. Through workshops and study groups the members of the guild have stayed true to Mildred’s original vision. As proud members of the Chilliwack Community Arts Council, the guild has been privileged to be able to participate in many community events over the years and notably at the Arts Council’s upcoming Christmas Craft Market in November.

“Keeping the arts of spinning and weaving in the public eye has allowed us to continue our goal of preserving and passing them along to the next generation,” Leslie Alkenbrack, the guild’s president, said. “We are also able to show the community all the wonderful forms that these fibre arts can take. It’s not just grandma’s spinning and weaving anymore!”

◗ Meet the guild members as they showcase the result of their skill and dexterity at the Kitchen Kaleidoscope exhibition. The opening reception on Sept. 12 at the Art Room gallery is from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Free admission and open to the public. Refreshments will be available. All the pieces on display and for sale are by members of the guild. The exhibition runs from until Oct. 24 at the Art Room during gallery hours.

Vern Tompke stands in the wide open space of the Acoustic Emporium, a venue he says is full of potential for many uses.

BY VANESSA BROADBENT vanessa.broadbent@chilliwacktimes.com

L

ive music in Chilliwack is hard to come by.

There may be summer festivals like Party in the Park, the odd show at the Cultural Centre or band playing at the casino, but other than that, live performances are rare.

But the founders of the Acoustic Emporium are trying to change that.

It was after watching a film about a live music venue in California called the Troubadour that Vern Tompke had the idea to start something similar.

“It was where the Eagles, Crosby Stills and Nash, all of those began to be known in this folk music club,” Tompke said. “I watched that and I went, I would love to do something like that in Chilliwack.”

After the Wellington Emporium closed, the Vineyard Community Church, where Tompke is also the pastor, moved into the building and it wasn’t long before they started hosting live music on weekends.

“We ended up with this great location down town, the Vineyard Centre,” Tompke explained. “It’s this open space that we could create a listening room environment” But Tompke wanted something different from the typical live music venue. Rather than just an average venue where performers are more background music than entertainment, the Acoustic Emporium focuses on the musician more than anything else.

“It’s not a restaurant and it’s not a bar,” Tompke said. “Most of these guys are having to find bar gigs where people aren’t listening.”

Putting the focus on musicians makes downtown’s Acoustic Emporium a local treasure for music fans It was exactly that—the ‘bar gig’—that Tompke wanted to avoid.

Instead, he describes the Emporium as “a listening room where people are coming specifically to hear that, to engage with the artist and that’s not real common.”

It’s the uniqueness of the venue that makes musicians seem to love performing in the setting, so much that Tompke has to be very selective with who the Emporium hosts.

“I would say that for every musician that plays, I probably have three or four musicians that we had to turn down,” Tompke explains. “We have piles of people emailing us who want to play here from around the country.”

Despite the high volume of interest Tompke has received from more successful musicians, he still always tries to help promote local artists.

“We usually try to pair together a touring musician, somebody who’s a little more well known, has maybe a number of albums or does this more for a living, with more of a local opener, somebody who is getting started, which is always neat because sometimes people who are just starting from the Fraser Valley meet people who are doing this for a living or who might be a little more successful,” he said.

Surprisingly, despite the obvious success and public interest of the Acoustic Emporium similar music venues are extremely hard to find.

Tompke thinks that it’s because the Emporium is one of very few

tinues to grow. If we have 60 to 70 non-profit live music venues. people out a night, that’s good but “Because we’re non-profit and we the visionary in me wants 150 peoget great support from the Vineyard ple out a night.” our costs are pretty low. That helps,” But even those 60 to 70 people are he said. “We’re not running it as a enough for the Acoustic Emporium business because it wouldn’t make to succeed at this point. any money. The result is that there “We have enough people come are very few of them around that can out that it never run because most feels empty. It people are trying to always feels to make a living doing “I’ver had a few musicians that it’s it and fortunately people say that live an appreciative we’re not in that place.”

Things fall-ing in to place at Centre their creative side. Check out www. chilliwackculturalcentre.ca for full details on our classes.

The first week of the October will see the return of another fundraising favourite at The Centre—Antiques in the Attic. If you’ve always wondered what those old paintings and heirlooms you have around the house are worth, this is the opportunity to find out if you’re sitting on a secret gold mine. Taking place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m on Oct. 8, this event allows you to book an appointment with professional antiques appraiser Peter Blundell and find out if your attic is full of trash . . . or treasure.

And following Antiques in the Attic will be a second alliterative affair (yet perhaps one that is a little more risqué) Sex & the Suburbs.

Brought to The Centre by the comics behind Leave it to Cleavage, (which if you have had the pleasure of seeing will give you some idea of the hijinks we can expect), this improv comedy show features Diane Frances, Ellie Harvey, Christine Lippa, and Denise Jones in a raucous exposé of what really goes on in the world of suburban bliss.

The big date on your calendar with us, however, should be Oct. 3, when The Centre invites you, your family, your friends and anybody else you want to bring along to our

Fifth Anniversary—beginning with Cultural Collaboration. A celebration of all the activities that go on at The Centre, Cultural Collaboration will feature art demonstrations, live performances, a kids’ art show, a community arts information fair and much more. For a fun and creative family day out, an opportunity to find out what goes on in our facility, remember to come down between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. and find out how we bring art to life in Chilliwack.

The day will be brought to a captivating conclusion with an appearance from the heart and soul of Canada’s blues history, known for their hits “Doing it Right (on the Wrong Side of Town)’,” “What Have I Been Drinking” and more, Tom Lavin & the Legendary Powder Blues. An icon of Canadian blues for almost 40 years, Tom Lavin and the Legendary Powder Blues’ appearance at The Centre will be an unforgettable night of swing, soul, and guitar solos.

As always, for more information on our shows and classes, give The Centre Box Office a shout at 604391-SHOW(7469) and our friendly staff would be more than happy to give you a hand with tickets or other details. You can also visit us online at www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca.

ell it’s been a hot and hectic summer everywhere this year, and The Chilliwack Cultural Centre has been no exception. Between the high-octane (and seriously impressive—seeing 10 eight year olds play ‘Smoke on the Water’ is pretty incredible!)

Kids’ Rawk Camps, performances

by Secondary Characters and Chilliwack Players’ Guild, and of course another thrillingly creative year of Kids’ Summer Art Camps, the fall has come up on us out of nowhere, which means it’s show time again.

If you’ve been wondering how to spend those long autumn nights now that summer has ended then fear not, because The Centre is ready and raring to welcome you in for our new season.

And things are already off to an amazing start, with the third annual Fraser Valley Culture & Craft Beer Festival being sold out weeks in advance. Taking place on Sept.

26, this fundraising event will be our best and biggest yet—with 25 incredible craft breweries, delicious bites from some of our favourite local restaurants and caterers, and live performances from two bands.

October is when events and activities at The Centre really kick into action, though, and once again this year photographers, potters, painters, performers and everybody in between will be thrilled with our extensive art and crafts programming. With a grand total of 35 classes taking place at The Centre throughout the fall months there really is an opportunity for everybody to explore

Harrison Country Craft this weekend

T

his Labour Day weekend the Harrison Festival Society presents Harrison Country Craft, taking place Sept. 5 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sept. 6 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in and around the historic Harrison Memorial Hall.

The market, previously called Harrison Craft Market, assumes a new name this year, while it maintains its character as a cozy, indoor market that has been an annual event for almost as long as the festival itself.

“As with our waterfront festival Art Market, which takes place in July,

Harrison Country Craft features handmade artisanal products,” says Andy Hillhouse, the festival society’s artistic director. “The ‘country’ in the new name partly reflects the rural, village setting of Harrison. It also happens to work nicely with the fact our market takes place just across the road from the annual country music event Bands on the Beach.”

The event of which Hillhouse speaks, the highly successful Bands on the Beach, is presented by Tourism Harrison. With the breathtaking scenery of Harrison Lake as its back-

sooner but I was trying to tell myself I was OK. I didn’t want to seem like I was someone with an issue.”

STOP SMOKING

START VAPING

- Ad Adri r anne ri an nne Rob oberts ts

Greg Laychak/TIMES

There were between 30 and 40 voices, some celebrities and some family members.

Outside of her new reality, friends and family drifted out of her life, scared by the new Adrianne.

Then one day she found herself in a friend’s backyard, smashing a window—by that point under the command of the voices in her mind.

Her friends took Adrianne to the hospital to seek help, beginning the road to her recovery and setting the stage for the now 27-year-old to share her ordeal.

“You don’t often hear a positive mental health story,” says David Bayne, Fraser Health’s co-ordinator of early psychosis intervention (EPI) in Fraser Valley East. “But you hear lots of negative mental health stories” He believes it’s important that society eliminates the stigma around mental illness so Adrianne and others who experience the distress don’t wait so long to seek help. Most in their situation fear being identified as mentally ill.

“I didn’t go seek mental help for a couple of months after going to the psych ward,” says Adrianne. “I should have gone sooner but I was trying to tell myself I was OK. I didn’t want to seem like I was someone with an issue.”

In the meantime, she experienced more delusions and other symptoms, along with the harder realities of her vulnerability including a short period of homelessness during which she was sexually abused.

The longer psychosis goes untreated, the higher the risk of residual symptoms, treatment resistant symptoms and potential for relapse, according to Bayne.

So getting help early and seeking out an appropriate health service is vitally important.

If people with psychosis symptoms use Bayne and Fraser Health’s EPI or other services promptly they can speed up recovery and keep psychosis at bay.

“I think I’m close to the end, I’m getting better every day,” Adrianne says. “But I’m also on medication so that affects things as well.”

If she doesn’t take her pills, she starts to feel off-centre and not grounded. But at least she has treatment now.

That’s positive progress from the months of living with unexplained symptoms: a pixelated visual reality,

“kind of like video games”; out-ofbody detachment; and imagined outdoor barriers.

Adrianne was too weak and tired to do much, plagued by her thoughts and anxiety.

And because going out was an extremely difficult thing for her to do, she would stay at home, hiding and sleeping.

“I had lost a lot of weight, down to 90 pounds,” Adrianne says of when she was first sick. “I was told by others that I looked like I was on drugs and I couldn’t function properly . . . because the voices were trying to come out in my verbal speech.

“I was scared.”

kinds of therapy like anxiety management and social rehabilitation.

Again, the key is early intervention, Bayne says.

“Don’t wait for your family doctor to make a referral. Pick up the phone and make a referral to the program.”

Video shares Adria’s story After sharing her story online in January with a friend, Adrianne was approached by the B.C. Schizophrenia Society (BCSS) and the Strengthening Families Together project to participate in the making of an educational video.

Now in post-production, the five-minute piece will use an interview with Adrianne and motion graphics to portray her experience Getting them to stay well to First Nations groups throughout Psychosis is an umbrella term the province.
