Chilliwack Taxi driver Parminder Brar constantly watches unsavoury passengers to make sure he doesn’t become the latest victim of cabbie crime. BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

A fare to remember Local taxi drivers say every shift can bring fear and violence

another man joins his two friends in the back of the cab and Brar is off. The men are all drunk, but jubilant. When asked by this Times reporter how often they take a taxi, the cab erupts into a cacophony of voices. “This is an unusual circumstance,” one says, playing it cool. “As you can tell circumstances are odd,” adds his friend. The ques-

tion becomes lost in the din and, just minutes later, the cab pulls up to a non-descript home and the men depart: just another relatively uneventful taxi ride on another Friday evening. If only all clients could have so pure of motives. Already this year, at least three cab drivers have been assaulted and sev-

eral others have been robbed. Add to that the inherent danger that comes with driving throughout the night, when many motorists are impaired, and driving a taxi is certainly one of Chilliwack’s most dangerous ways to earn a buck. Vince Van Santen got a refresher in See TAXI, Page 6

t’s just after 11 p.m. on a Friday night when Parminder Brar pulls his taxi in front of a darkened downtown business. Shapes stir inside and, within seconds, two young men emerge, one clutching a Budweiser, the other holding a cigarette. “You guys are here to give us a ride?” one of the men asks. The man, clearly drunk, follows the question with another question that cannot be printed in a family newspaper, and which could be construed as mildly offensive. Brar laughs cautiously, then asks, “But did you call for a taxi?” “Yes, sir,” the young man replies. “I’m [kidding] with you.” After 10 minutes of jostling,

Better late than never. To avoid feeling down, that will have to be the attitude in Chilliwack when it comes to long-awaited summer weather, since May and June were pretty cool, moist and grey. The year kicked off with the mildest January and February ever in Chilliwack and March started much the same way. Since then things have gone downhill. After five consecutive months of below-normal precipitation Chilliwack experienced its coolest May since 2002 and its coolest June in 11 years, according to Roger Pannett, Chilliwack’s volunteer weather observer for Environment Canada. While both months were wet, it wasn’t the volume of precipitation that hit as much as the consistency. May saw 106.6 millimetres (mm), a little higher than the 30-year average of 98.3 mm, but there was rain on 16 days, 33 per cent more than the average of 12. June had 93.5 mm of rain, up considerably from the 77.9 mm average. As May ended, cool moist conditions continued until June 11, amounting to 17 consecutive days of periodic rainfall. June’s temperatures fell to midOctober readings with a record low mean temperature of 11.3C on June 15, 4.4C below normal and breaking the previous low of 11.4C in 1955. While July has so far started much the way May and June kicked off, temperatures were forecast to shoot up this week with a high of 34C expected on Thursday.

Pay hike for Penner

Chilliwack MLA Barry Penner got an extra $295 a year after voting for a nominal pay raise he said he didn’t want. Penner, then a member of the Liberal party in opposition to the NDP, saw his annual salary increase to $33,107 with a tax-free allowance of an additional $16,406. Penner said, at the time, he wanted all future MLA salary increases put in the hands of a panel of independent citizens.

It may be state-of-the-art, but some local groups are crunching their budgets to see if they can afford to use the soon-to-open arts and culture centre.

rts groups across Chilliwack have had their calculators out for months in an effort to crunch the numbers and make sure they can afford to use the new state-of-the-art cultural centre. While the soon-to-be-closed and for-sale Chilliwack Arts Centre has served the community well for decades, the move to the $22-million-dollar cultural centre in the fall is like moving from a shack to a mansion. And for some small not-for-profit organizations, that mansion is just too expensive. Glenda Standeven is the events co-ordinator for the Optimist Club of Chilliwack, a group that annually puts on an educational drama at the Chilliwack Arts Centre about the dangers of drugs, alcohol and tobacco. Standeven said this year’s production in May marked “the end of an

No one disputes that the new arts and culture centre is beautiful, but some local groups are wondering if it’s too rich for their blood era” because her organization cannot afford the new cultural centre. “This will be the last year we are able to hold the performance in the arts centre—the old theatre has been very affordable at $200-per-day rental fee but the new theatre is over $1,000 per day, which just won’t fit into our non-profit budget,” she said. Michael Cade, director of the new cultural centre, said that isn’t quite accurate, as the group was quoted $670 a day. But with a 50-cent per child fee for 1,100 kids there would have been another $550 plus a $100 daily front-of-house fee. And the production ran over two days, meaning the final tally would have been a shade under $2,000 for what the Optimists paid $400 at the old centre.

“I do think that the arts centre committee let the non-profit sector slip through the cracks and may need to take another look at the rental rates for community functions such as ours,” Standeven said. Other small groups and individuals in the arts community have felt left out of the new centre as well. Joyce Clough, the president of the Chilliwack Quilters’ Guild told the Times that her group won’t be able to use the new centre because there isn’t a room large enough for them to meet and conduct workshops. And then there’s local musician and music teacher Lori Paul who recently posted a message on her blog about the new centre and how rates will be out of reach for independent musicians.

“Well it was a nice thought . . . new facility, student recital followed by a concert but hey howdy hey, as my good friend Woody likes to say . . . who can afford it?” she wrote. “Not us.” Cade understands some of the issues from smaller groups and said the building was never going to be all things for all people. “There are going to be some groups that this building does not make sense for,” he said. “That’s been something the city has acknowledged from the very beginning.” Part of the issue of moving from a small, community-style theatre and arts centre to a state-of-the-art production centre is comparing apples

Rates hadn’t been raised in years CENTRE, from page 3 to oranges. This is further illustrated in the almost ridiculously good deal Standeven and others were getting at the old centre, making the jump to reality hard to handle. The old arts centre was keeping rates artificially—if helpfully—low. “To be honest we haven’t raised our rates in 10 years, which is probably part of the issue,” said Jamea Lister, facilities manager for the Chilliwack Arts Centre Lister said he understood some groups were taken aback by the new prices and this was compounded by the inexpensive rates they were getting at the old centre. “I know groups that are still doing the number-crunching but are cautiously optimistic and are willing to give it a whirl, so to speak,” said Lister. Cade says costs are higher to rent the new facility, but the quality will help to bring in more audiences so that local groups can make more money to offset costs. There is also some of the if-you-build-it-they-will-come going on. Or at least, they won’t keep going away. “From talking to people, what it appears to me is people in Chilliwack are seeing a lot of shows, they are just not seeing them in Chilliwack,” Cade said. “People are driving to Surrey or Mission or Abby or Vancouver.” One of the groups that had been mulling over whether they could afford the new centre was the Chilliwack School of Performing Arts (CSOPA). The school’s director, Andrew Smith, first thought they would not use the new centre because of the price. Then he met Cade and understood what the new facility had to offer. “We’ve been spoiled in the past with the arts centre because it’s so affordable and now that we have this . . . there is not a better community theatre in B.C. than the one we are getting,”

Prices will be higher, says new centre director Michael Cade, but the increased quality of the facility will draw in bigger crowds.

Smith said. “It’s such an amazing space and we have to pay for it.” Cade—not one to shy away from hyperbole regarding the new centre—thinks Smith doesn’t go far enough. “I think he is understating it,” he said. “This is one of the best spaces anywhere. . . . It’s hard to find spaces like this on Broadway.” Cade said the difference between a “purpose-built” facility and the old arts centre truly is comparing apples to oranges. “Not to be negative about the arts centre; it served this community really well for 25 years, but it was a church renovated,” he said. “It was not a purpose-built theatre.” While some smaller groups—not-for-profits, indie musicians—may feel left out because of the new costs, others figure it’s all worth it. “Once the community actually goes into the space and feels what it’s like and experiences that theatre, I think they will understand why it’s costing more,” Smith said. The new centre opens in September.

Lawyer wants to see tape

Cell call leads to arrest

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

he trial of a Chilliwack man accused of two counts of assault causing bodily harm has hit a snag. James Vidal was due to stand trial on the charges, which date back to last year, on Monday. The trial was set to conclude on Friday with video testimony from a witness. But the trial was adjourned after defence counsel Ken Beatch said he had not yet been provided with videotape he says is crucial. “This disclosure is so important that we really need an adjournment,” Beatch said. He said the central issue in the case is that of identification and, specifically, how the police lineups through which Vidal was identified by witnesses were conducted. Lineups—even those that involve police showing witnesses photos of potential perpetrators like the ones used in the Vidal case—are now videotaped. Beatch said he had requested those videotapes but had not yet received them. That, he said, made it impossible to proceed to trial. “The disclosure I’m seeking is [in relation] to the central issues in this case,” he said. “None of the witnesses have any personal knowledge of my client.” Beatch plans to call at least three witnesses and while two days had been set for the trial, both the defence and the Crown agreed to schedule three days. A new date for the trial had not yet been set by the Times’ press time.

late night traffic stop of a man driving while using a cellphone has led to more serious charges. Justin Roy Scherle, 31, appeared in provincial court Friday to face charges of possession of stolen property under $5,000, breach of recognizance, and possession of instruments to forge or falsify credit cards. Scherle, of Hope, has been remanded in custody and police say more charges are likely. He is scheduled to appear in court again on Tuesday. Mounties stopped a man in the Yale Road/Hodgins Avenue area just before 2 a.m. on July 1. The driver had been seen using a cellphone and, once the vehicle was stopped, police also noticed an open laptop that appeared to be in use on the front passenger seat. A check of the driver’s name revealed the man had been ordered “not to possess any credit cards, gift cards or identification other than identification in [his] own name,” stemming from previous fraud charges. After the police officer noticed a hydro bill on the front seat bearing a different name and told the suspect he was under arrest, the driver rolled up his window and refused to leave his vehicle. RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Lea Anne Dunlop said a search of the vehicle revealed stolen drivers licences, stolen birth certificates, multiple stolen credit cards, a colour card printer and an aluminum box with a data swiper. A computer hard drive, several thumb drivers and two laptops were also seized.

Chilliwack-Hope MLA and environment minister Barry Penner speaks to a couple of campers about their fire in this file photo from 2006. New rules took effect last weekend limiting the size of campfires in provincial campgrounds by half.

Campfire size restricted I

n an attempt to prevent a dangerous wildfire season, the provincial government will soon start to enforce new regulations that shrink the allowable size of campfires by half. Under the new regulations, campfires cannot be larger than 0.5 metres in height and 0.5 metres in diameter, or approximately a footand-a-half by a foot-and-a-half. Previously, campfires were permitted to a maximum size of one metre by one metre. “As we head into peak camping season, I want to remind people that more than 850 fires resulted from

careless human behaviour in 2009. That number must come down,” said Forests and Range Minister Pat Bell in a press release issued last week. “We want people to enjoy the great outdoors, but not at the cost of public safety.” Since April 1, fire crews have responded to 310 fires across the province, of which 260 were humancaused, according to the release. Anyone who causes a wildfire through arson or recklessness can be fined up to $1 million or spend three years in prison. The new rules also require campers to build a fireguard around their

fires by scraping down to the dirt and clearing away potentially flammable debris, such as twigs, leaves and needles. A shovel or at least eight litres of water must be stored nearby. Provincial staff began with warnings over the Canada Day long weekend, but they say as summer progresses, failure to comply with the new rules will result in a $345 fine. An additional $345 fine will be levied for campfires lit during a ban. “Make no mistake. If we catch people being careless and causing wildfires this summer, we will aggressively pursue penalties for those responsible,” said Bell.

News TAXI, from page 1 the dangers and indignities of driving a cab last month. Van Santen drove to Yarrow to pick up a man who gave his name as “Dennis.” After being bullied into picking up more men than were allowed into his car, Van Santen was punched and had his cab vandalized. “It’s a real good job, it’s just the people you run into,” says Van Santen, leaning over the door of Brar’s cab while both drivers wait in the parking lot of Corky’s Pub for their next call. “You just never know, eh?” replies Brar. The troublesome clients, Van Santen continues, “are probably not angels, and they’re drinking and different factors factor in, and we’re the last ones to see them.” In many cases, though, greed plays more of a factor than intoxication. Three o’clock on a Saturday morning isn’t the most dangerous time just because people are intoxicated; criminals know that drivers are more likely to have accumulated a night’s worth of fares by the early morning. When a driver is assigned to pick up a fare, he or she is given a phone number and an address. That’s all and there is no guarantee that either piece of information could identify a would-be assailant. Drivers know far less— nothing, in fact—about those who flag them down from the side of the road. Still, Brar, who has never been robbed himself in three years of driving taxi, loves that excitement. He works 11 hours a day, five days a week, alternating between days and nights. On day shifts, he will drive kids to school and chauffeur seniors on their afternoon shopping errands. And on the night shift he gets to see Chilliwack’s party side. “It’s a lot more interesting and you’re on your toes,” he says. Brar, a father of a six-year-old girl and two-year-old boy, describes himself as a people person and enjoys engaging with his clients, even when their facilities are a tad reduced. “When they’re drunk, they like to have a conversation so you have to have a conversation with them, at that level,” he says. “If he’s had six beers, you’ve got to have six beers, you’ve got to pretend.” Few people seem to be drinking this Friday, however, and at 11:30 p.m. Brar pulls into a parking lot of a shopping plaza at the corner of

Not all angels Yale and Williams where two other cabbies are already chatting. Brar waves one of the drivers down. The driver, Tony, has been driving for three years. Two months ago he was called to a Broadway store at 10 p.m. for a fare. But when he arrived at his destination, the fare asked him for money. “He had a knife that big,” says Tony, opening his hand wide, as something in his car beeps. Tony and the other driver both receive calls and depart, leaving Brar facing a thrift store, where three people rummage through bags left on the front stoop. The small five-inch wide screen mounted on the dash flashes, and Brar puts his car in gear. Another call has come in, this one on Fairfield Island, where Brar says “very normal people live.” Still, there are no sure bets when you drive a cab. “All I know right now is I’m going to this address. From there it’s all open road. I don’t know where they’re going to take me.” Chilliwack Taxi, for which Brar works, hopes to install cameras in all its cabs soon. But manager Paul Johal says his company is still waiting for the RCMP, which will have the exclusive right to review footage, to contact the Passenger Transportation Board about the issue. When the cameras are installed, Johal expects incidents to be reduced dramatically. “With the camera, it will become safer,” he says, pointing to a recent report that shows assaults on Lower Mainland trolley buses have dropped significantly since cameras were installed last year. “Who wants to go to jail for a robbery of $20?” In the meantime, Brar and fellow cabbies keep close eye on their clients. “If I’m iffy [about the client], I’m always [looking] in the back seat,” he says. “All the time. I don’t take my eye off it.” The cab arrives at a large house with a Ushaped driveway and a palm tree in the front garden. A middle-aged couple bids another middle-aged pair goodnight and within minutes we’re on our way, the two occupants asleep in the backseat. “If it was all like this, everybody would be driving taxi,” says Brar, as he cruises through the suburban night.

Spreading the wealth

Sally Ann kettles out this weekend Christmas in July theme of food bank fund raiser BY KEN GOUDSWAARD kgoudswaard@chilliwacktimes.com

he local Salvation Army is rallying the troops for a special Hawaiian Christmas in July fundraiser to help restock the community food bank. The iconic Sally Ann kettles will be out front at all liquor and grocery stores in Chilliwack and Sardis and Canadian Tire this Friday and Saturday. While the Sally Ann is always looking for food donations, this time around they’d like your cash. “The food bank is totally empty, except for soup and that’s it,” said Don Armstrong of the Chilliwack Salvation Army Care & Share Centre. Armstrong said all money raised go towards buying food that is needed, but not always donated. “It gives us a bit more control over what we have in the food bank.”

The recent Lions Walk and Knock food drive came up 5,000 items short of last year’s haul and that “really hurt,” explained Armstrong. The kettles will be out from noon until 8:45 p.m. on Friday and noon to 6 p.m. on Saturday. Armstrong hopes the cheeky campaign, which will see volunteers decked out in Hawaiian shirts and leis while sitting in a lawn chair, raises $10,000. “Because it’s out first kick at the can we don’t know where we’ll be with it (total),” Armstrong said. More than 3,800 people are assisted by the food bank, soup kitchen and shelter each month. Thirty per cent of that number is children under the age of 18. “This time of year, with school out and the summer holidays approaching, the need tends to get forgotten,” Armstrong said. ◗ Hawaiian Christmas in July media sponsor the Chilliwack Times is offering a free Buck Stretcher classified advertisement for those who bring a canned food donation to the office, located at 45951Trethewey Ave. All Buck Stretcher ads must be submitted before 10 a.m. on Thursday.

Don Armstrong of the Chilliwack Salvation Army will be getting some help from his grandkids Kylie, Miranda, Grace, Michael and Devin this weekend as the charity organization raises money for the community food bank.

he Chilliwack Foundation was scheduled to present cheques to six recipients in a ceremony prior to last night’s meeting of Chilliwack city council. Foundation vice-chair Todd Harvey was to make the presentation of the grants worth $38,488. Recipients on Monday included the Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation, which receives $12,500 toward the current Chilliwack General Hospital expansion. It is expected a further $12,500 will be awarded this winter, to complete the payout of a $100,000 commitment previously made to the project. The Chilliwack Museum received a $2,500 grant to produce an exhibit, “One River; Many Voices.” And the Ann Davis Transition Society was awarded $9,500 to create and maintain a website for the Chilliwack Child and Youth Committee. School District 33 was awarded $1,500 toward the cost of a mosaic tile artwork display showing the concept of diversity at Central elementary community school. Parent advisory councils from two other other elementary schools, Sardis and Tyson, received grants of $6,119 each toward the purchase and installation of new playground equipment. The Chilliwack Foundation was established in 1985 to distribute bequests and gifts to benefit service and charitable organizations in Chilliwack. It considers applications for funding each spring and fall, and conducts an active student scholarship program as well. Information about the foundation is available at www. chilliwackfoundation.com. The deadline for applications for the fall awards is Nov. 22.

The face of a BCLC customer

greying man in a plaid logger’s jacket with a blank, doe-eyed look shuffles along the floor of a Chilliwack pub with a $20 bill held outwards in his hand. He puts the bill into the B.C. Lottery Corporation (BCLC) Pacific Hold ‘Em machine, takes his ticket and looks up at the TV. He’s not watching the U.S. en route to losing to upstart Ghana in the World Cup—the reason I am in this local watering hole— no, he’s checking his “poker hand” to see if he won anything. A few minutes of his unblinking stare, he sees he has lost, he looks down and slowly shuffles across the room to the ATM. I watch as, with another crisp $20 bill in hand, he shuffles back towards the BCLC equipment. This time he puts his bill into the pull-tab machine, takes a bucket from on top and sits down at a table in the nearly-empty room. One by one by one by one he tosses pulled tabs into the bucket with the same, now downward-looking, unblinking stare. Bucket returned, he shuffles off again to the ATM for another crisp bill. This man looks hypnotized by what he is doing. He seems robotic in his actions, as if he is not in control. His walk is one that exudes despair; of a man, not looking for something or playing something or even hoping for something.

PAUL J. HENDERSON

Simply A Musing He just looks sad. This is the real face of a BCLC customer. Not the good-looking woman who gets out of bed, pours coffee and walks to the deck of a yacht, presumably purchased with lottery winnings. In these ads, it is always about regular middle-class-looking folks who just happen to win the lottery and, voila, their already happy lives become great. Why wouldn’t you get in on the chance to win? Imagine the freedom! Of course the reality of lotteries is that you are not going to win. And when it comes to gambling it’s not, for the most part, about regular happy folks suddenly striking it rich. It’s about poor, down-on-their-luck, and downright destitute folks frittering away precious dollars. Some say lotteries are a tax on the stupid. Maybe. But the desperation on the face of some gamblers is only matched by the desperation of some local community groups that rely on “gaming” grants. (It is not gaming, by the way, it’s gambling. Gaming is what you do on a PlayStation or a Wii.)

We soon will have an expanded casino-lite in Chilliwack with slot machines. First Nations have just announced they are creating their own gambling body and I’ll bet you a nickel we’ll eventually see at least one casino on a reserve in Chilliwack. Some of those who benefit from gambling revenues might do so reluctantly, but many other cash-strapped groups probably think gambling is great. But gambling and the grants it provides in this province in this way is only a good thing in the same way that those in need of organ transplants might think it’s a good thing when someone who signed a donor card is killed in a car crash. Who knows where this doeeyed soul I am watching gets his money from. The date was, I think, a few days after Welfare Wednesday. But maybe he’s independently wealthy or has a wellfunded retirement. He’s there when I arrive and he’s there when I leave and in that time he loses at least $80. Gaming? Didn’t look too fun. He just spent more than I have in my entire life on lotteries. But it is money from this gentleman that will help fund worthwhile community groups. That seems like taking from those who can’t afford it to give to others that need it. What a way to keep community groups on life support.

ears ago, the Red Cross ran an advertisement aimed at boating safety. As a little boat loaded to the gunwales with people moved away from the shore, an ominous sounding voice-over came on. “Every year the same thing happens; too many people, not enough life-jackets.” It is now some years since that TV advertisement ran, but safety messages from the Red Cross and other agencies remain as vital as ever. The headlines from the weekend included a fatal boating accident on Shuswap Lake, north of Kelowna, and a string of drownings in Ontario. Here in Chilliwack, July brings an increase in the number of people taking to the water to either boat or swim. While Transport Canada has tightened up rules around boating, requiring operator permits for any motorized vessel of any size, the best approach to safety remains common sense. The same goes for swimming and diving. There is no lack of people who would do anything to take back that moment when they did not take the time to do the necessary checks first. Safety, it must be remembered, is everyone’s responsibility. Campaigns around drinking and driving have the same message, and it’s no different in any other context, whether at work or play. There are any number of reasons that safety is compromised, from alcohol to over-confidence. But there really is no such thing as an accident. The old saying is that accident don’t just happen, they are caused. What that saying means is that what we call accidents can be prevented. Not all can be foreseen and yes, hindsight can be 20/20, but that can neither be used as an excuse for reckless behaviour. While we have an entire industry devoted to rescue and first aid, and to some extent education and prevention, we must be our own first line of safety. Take some time to think about your own and the safety of others. Summer will be a lot more fun if you do.

No help for Panorama cost Editor: Mr. Henderson’s article (Simply a Musing, Times, July 2) regarding our city having entered into the landlordship biz is, as he subtitled it, very amusing, most informative and rather disturbing. Quite coincidentally, last Wednesday, while getting rid of some of our savings to pay our higher-thanacceptable property taxes at the City of Chilliwack, our curiosity regarding the speed at which the $18 million bail out has been now scheduled to be paid out, led us to personally question a gentleman at the finance department as to the reason why the 2010 $14.5 million was entered in the “Planned Capital Expenditure” under “Municipal Development.” Why would such an expense be considered an investment for municipal development, such as acquiring land to build a library? It just does not make good sense in our minds that property in danger of sliding down might be a sound investment for future municipal development because such land was already developed. Although we previously questioned our City of Chilliwack finance department

on this issue, no concrete reply was ever received. This time around, being there in person to enquire, the gentleman at the counter was rather caught off guard and when we expressed our sentiment that naming such a bail out under “Municipal Development” capital expenditure is a deceiving description for a bailout, he showed great surprise and told us that they could not think of a better way to describe it. If your readers are interested to find out about our city’s 2010 plan for capital expenditures, they can visit the city’s website and will realize that under “Municipal Development” property acquisition is the section where the $14.5 million are quoted as a planned capital expenditure and, by taking a deeper look at their plan, it is a quite amazing to realize that other areas, such as police and fire have only been awarded $154,000 and $1,076,000 respectively and that the plan for a new library in Sardis has been postponed until 2011 for a capital expenditure of $2.7 million. Our opinion is by no means intended to further question what our elected officers have and will be achieving for the benefit of our residents, as it seems that the job they are doing in planning and developing our city is ongoing. It is however of a great concern to taxpayers to realize that our federal and provincial governments have and will hold responsible local gov-

Editor: I love reading about these FSA tests and how our kids are not measuring up. Although I do agree that kids these days have a severe lack of literacy, I tend to agree with the Teacher’s Federation on this topic. The FSA tests are not an accurate reading of how our kids are doing. As I seem to recall when I was in middle school, we were told that the FSA tests had no bearing on our grades whatsoever, and so some of us purposely did bad just because we were forced to sit there for two hours writing this stupid test. If it has no bearing on a student’s current grade, then why would they bother trying? I mean really, would anybody? I think instead of having these pointless tests, the teachers and the parents of students doing poorly should step up and help them to succeed. This whole passing them because we “don’t want to hurt their selfesteem” is not going to help any of them once they get into the real world. When my mom gets resumes with multiple spelling errors, she just laughs and throws them away. If we don’t take action on our children’s education and success now, it will come back to bite them later when they need to enter the real world, where it is expected that one can read and write properly. Whatever happened to the days of holding children back a grade if they weren’t measuring up? I had a classmate in Grade 6 get held back because he wasn’t measuring up. I’m sure he grew up into a fine young man and his self-esteem wasn’t damaged. Holding a child back will boost their self-esteem in the long run, as they won’t be a 19-yearold unable to spell basic words such as “because.” It’s time that the government got rid of these silly standardized tests. The only people who truly know how children are doing are the

No parlez-vous French here Editor: Earlier this week I received the copy of a letter sent by one of our constituents to our MP Chuck Strahl. The letter was in reference to the monthly question that he had sent out asking our opinion on the requirement of Supreme Court justices to be bilingual. Now Chilliwack has not had a base for a few years now but I know that there is a large percentage of Francophones in our constituency. Imagine the senders surprise, when she received a response a day later to her missive (which by the way was written in our other official language) saying : “Dear Julie, Sorry, but no one in this office speaks or reads French. I have forwarded your e-mail on to the office in Ottawa.” One might think that if you were asking about whether or not knowledge of both of our official languages was necessary for the top judges in the country, at the very least you would have someone in your office to respond in French in a city with a fairly large French-speaking population. Unless of course you were assuming that only your Anglophone supporters were going to respond. At the very least, the person in Mr. Strahl’s office might have waited an extra day or so and e-mailed Ottawa with the letter and getting back a response before sending off an answer. In that way no one would have

Desjarlais goes under at Kinkora

FC women dig deep to tie game up

hilliwack’s Tristan Desjarlais served notice that he’s the one to beat on the Chilliwack Optimist’s Club Fred Wellsby Junior Divot Tour, which began last week. Desjarlais shot a two-under 54 at Kinkora Golf Course to win his age class (for golfers aged 13 to 15) by seven strokes. Cole Briggs of Langley finished second, followed by Edward Metcalfe of Surrey. Three Chilliwack golfers—Connor McLellan, Steven Scurr and Landon Gill—shot seven-over rounds of 63 to tie for fourth place. In the 10-to-12 age group, Andrew Wong of West Vancouver shot a 66 to beat Chilliwack’s Mitchell Thiessen by four strokes. Gabe Dekany, also of Chilliwack, tied for third by shooting a round of 72. The golfers returned to the links Friday at Cheam Golf Centre, with similar results. Desjarlais scored nine birdies en route to shooting a scorching sixunder 50, just one shot over the course record of 49. He beat second place Jake Scarrow by five shots. Dupreez Smith of Chilliwack shot a four-over round of 60 to claim a tie for fourth place. In the 10-to-12 age category, Wong outclassed the field again by shooting a 63. Thiessen again finished second, while Chilliwack’s Brett Martens finished fifth by shooting a 78. The tour continues this week with stops today at Cultus Lake Golf Course, Wednesday at Valley Golf in Abbotsford, and Thursday at Fraserglen. The event wraps up with an invitation-only tournament July 13 at The Falls Golf Course. Junior golfers can register at any of the golf courses hosting tournaments. The tournament is open to youth 15 years and under.

Chilliwack FC women’s soccer team needed a spark from reserve recruit Dani Ruschke to get them back into the game with TSS Academy in PCSL action Sunday at Exhibition Stadium.

eat up by injuries, Chilliwack FC’s premier division women’s squad battled back from a half-time deficit to secure a 2-2 tie against TSS Academy in Pacific Coast Soccer League action Sunday. CFC started the game with just 10 women, and surrendered an early goal. But the late addition of reserve recruit Dani Ruschke not only allowed Chilliwack to field a full squad, but helped spark the team’s offence. Coach Peter Errington said Ruschke, who tied the game in the second half, was one of the best Chilliwack players on the afternoon. Still Errington’s side looked to be in danger of dropping a valuable three points to TSS after the Richmond-based squad reclaimed the lead. But with two minutes left, Marie Verbenkov hit the top corner from 20 yards out to salvage the draw. While Chilliwack had to work hard for the tie, Errington told the Times that “We should be looking to beat TSS.” A day earlier Chilliwack fell 1-0 to a very good Victoria Highlanders squad. Megan Webster was a force in midfield but the 11-and-2 Highlanders controlled the play and eventually grabbed a lucky goal on a bounce from a 40-yard-shot. With Sunday’s draw, Chilliwack now sits fifth in the PCSL’s premier division, four points back of the NSGSC Eagles.

Your BC Lions — In Their Own Words I literally grew up with the CFL. My father Nick was a longtime member of the Montreal Alouettes back in the ’70s and early ’80s and my godfather is former Lions head coach and defensive coordinator Dave Ritchie. I grew up in Burlington, Ont. and attended McMaster University, which is located in nearby Hamilton. One of my biggest thrills was being drafted by the Lions in 2008. I never imagined my career taking off the way it has since then. I enjoy the challenge of playing special teams and I believe that as much as it is talked about, that part of Canadian football is under-rated. You can have a game-changing play each time the ball is kicked and I take pride in that fact. One of the beneﬁts of playing football on the West Coast is being able to make my home here year round. This past year was especially memorable with Olympics festivities going on literally right outside my apartment. I also had the time of my life participating in our club’s community programs. If I had to choose one in particular, I would say Lions in the House is my favourite program to take part in each winter. My parents divorced when I was younger and I believe the experiences I had during those impressionable years have played a big role in the person I am today. I try to have the kids I talk to understand the importance of making positive life choices at a young age because it can have a signiﬁcant impact on their path to adulthood.

Former Chief now a Canuck

Chiefs between 2000 and 2002. In his second season, he played just 34 games but racked up 46 goals and 117 points for Chilliwack before departing to the University of Michigan. Drafted by the Los Angeles Kings in 2003, Tambellini was traded to the New York Islanders, for whom he played 36 games last year. For the previous three years Tambellini had bounced between the Islanders and their minor league club.

Firefighters fit right in

he Chilliwack Fire Fit team notched solid results from a recent competition in Edmonton on June 19 and 20. Fire Fit is a race involving a series of firefighting skills while wearing full turnout gear, helmet and breathing apparatus. The course is physically demanding and competitors race against the clock and in head-to-head competition. The course includes climbing a three-storey tower, raising bundled fire hose by rope, moving a weighted sled with blows from a sledge hammer, dragging a charged hose, knocking down a target with the same fire hose and dragging a 175-pound dummy 100 feet. David Henderson teamed up with his brother Derrick from the Columbia Valley Fire Department to run a time of 1:41, good enough for third place for the Open Tandem category. Lisa Axelson and Ken Bodholdt won gold medals in the mixed and the over-40 categories with a time of 3:15.66 minutes. Lisa, the department’s public educator, teamed up with Fiona Morgenthaler-Code from the

Coldstream Fire Department and ran 3:24, putting them in first place of the women’s category. In the men’s relay event the Chilliwack team, consisting of firefighters Ken Bodholdt, Dave Henderson, Mike Peters, Russ Shellard and Chris Pluhowy, ran a time of 1:26 minutes in the seeding round, which put them in eighth place out of 20 teams, but unfortunately they were knocked out in the second round with a time of 1:27. Chilliwack firefighter Ken Bodholdt set a new personal best of 2:18.38 minutes in individual competition, firefighter Mike Peters had a time of 1:56, only a few seconds off his personal best, firefighter David Henderson ran 2:18.10 and firefighter Chris Pluhowy had a respectable time of 2:45. The Chilliwack firefighters’ team finished 11 out of 14 teams. Overall it was a successful weekend and end to this season. The team is excited about the next season with three competitions being held in B.C. in 2011. The team is planning to initiate a new and more intense training regimen.

Summertime . . . and the learning is easy

n the 1970s, Alice Cooper sang “School’s Out”— while that may be true for most school-aged children, school is going strong for adults in Chilliwack. Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) has identified nine essential skills for success in the workplace. They range from reading, numeracy and using documents, to using computers, thinking skills, oral communications, and working with others. The Chilliwack Learning Community Society (CLCS) is offering more courses that address at least one of these skills. “The courses we’ve offered to date this year have been very popular,” said Michael Berger, workplace essential skills co-ordinator for the CLCS. “Nearly 200 people in Chilliwack have completed one or more of our courses. For the third quarter of this year, we’re offering some of our most requested courses again. “We are pleased to offer two different courses on conflict resolution, a course on effective presentation skills, a money skills course focusing on budgeting and the smart use of credit, a problem solving course, and the internationally recognizedWorldHost Fundamentals course. “We’ve again secured top notch instructors—professionals in their field—that make the learning enjoyable while ensuring that it’s useful too. In fact, participant feedback has repeatedly stated

CLCS offers courses for adult “summer school”

how much fun participants had and how much they learned that they can apply immediately.” As well, the business community of Chilliwack has been very supportive of CLCS activities. “Whether it’s businesses such as IMW, Envision Financial, or Stream, or it’s organizations such as Sto:lo Nation, the Downtown BIA, or Community Futures donating meeting rooms, we’ve been fortunate to secure wonderful spaces to hold our classes,” said Berger. “They see the value in the courses not just to their own employees, but to all working people in Chilliwack. As well, organizations such as the Downtown BIA, CEPCO, Tourism Chilliwack and the Chamber of Commerce continue to help promote the courses. This truly is a collaborative effort.” To date, the courses have been offered at no cost to employers or employees, but that will change. “We’d love to offer the courses for free forever, but our funding just doesn’t allow for it,” said Berger. “Starting later this fall, we will be introducing fees to help offset the cost of the course. We recognize that a number of participants aren’t able to afford a large fee, so we’re looking at other ways to supplement our course costs—whether it’s business sponsorship of a course, a fundraiser, or dona-

he Chilliwack Service Canada Centre for Youth (SCCY) will promote its annual Hire A Youth message in July. Hire A Youth encourages youth employment by providing job opportunities and networking events for young people and employers. “This year, we are continuing our tradition of helping young people find summer employment,” said Heather Hutchinson, youth services officer. “Hire A Youth highlights the importance of getting that first job for some young people, or finding career-related work experience for others.” Service Canada Centres for Youth link youth and

employers. The centres provide employers with a location to post job openings and young people with job postings, interview advice, resumé building and job search strategies. SCCYs also provide valuable information on health and safety in the workplace. ◗ Employers interested in the service, and youth looking for summer employment, can visit the Chilliwack SCCY between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. at 45860 Cheam Ave, call 604792-1371 ext. 236, fax 604792-6776, or e-mail heather. hutchinson@servicecanada. gc.ca.

So, when more than 4,000 Jesus-followers showed up at the Prospera Centre recently to express their common belief in and trust of Jesus Christ through songs, prayers and the reading of the Bible, when they offered $18,000 to the funding of the Chilliwack General Hospital spiritual care co-ordinator position, and when those same people

left the building and parking lots in an orderly and peaceful manner—it wasn’t just a demonstration of unity—it was a display of the oneness that the church has in Jesus Christ. And, it was an answer to prayer! Well done City Church of Chilliwack.

Letters LETTERS, from page 9 to know that this federal office had no French speaking people in it. I know the minister himself has taken the effort to learn the French language because as he rose through the political ranks, it was a necessity. (I know from personal experience that he did not speak French on the day he was elected.) A Supreme court justice however, once appointed must be able to almost on day one under-

07065986

Letters stand litigation in either of our official languages as when one judges, one cannot rely on the interpretation of others to hear what a case entails. Surely if one aspires to the highest office for judges in the land, one would have the intelligence

to see bilingualism as a necessity and take the time to learn before hand. Thus you would know that the most intelligent judge got the job. Kirsten Hauge Chilliwack

What about the east side? Editor: I direct this letter to the mayor, and the BIA and ask why is it when improve-

ments finally do come to downtown, why is it always, with out fail, that they go west of Young Road? Do you not have businesses east of Young Road? Tell the people of Chilliwack what you have done on the east end of town Mayor Gaetz and Ms. Funk of the BIA. Maybe we just can’t see it. They are fixing up Wellington Avenue like there is no tomorrow, spending dollars like mad, when pray tell does the east side get some

of those dollars? I would really like to know, and I think others would also. R. Anderson Chilliwack

Vipers a great team to be on Editor: Thank you for all your support for the Chilliwack Vipers team. We all really appreciate it.

Also this is my first year with the Vipers and I really enjoy all the coaches and team members. They are the best team I have ever been with, not because we are 29-0, but because the team really works as a team. We have four coaches who really care and take the time to teach us and all the teammates get along and work hard together as a team. Thank you very much for the support. Santana McKay #14

Doc was born September 6, 1930 in Vancouver, and spent over 26 years with Canada’s military – as a member of the Royal Canadian Engineers; as a paratrooper and working with bomb disposal. He retired as a captain, and then spent thirteen years as the administrator for the District and City of Chilliwack. He spent some time as a coroner, before ﬁnishing his working years selling Real Estate here in the valley.
