At over 210 pounds Leeroy, an English mastiff, is taller than most of the children swarming

around him on a sunny afternoon in the backyard of Xolhemet’s second stage facility.

He lumbers through the playground with his companion, a bloodhound named MaGee, both quiet and patient while a dozen giggling kids touch and admire them.

One girl who has been pulling at MaGee’s ears stops under eye level of her canine friend and earnestly greets him.

“Hello, big dog,” she says before another girl leads the dog inside by his collar.

The two therapy dogs belong to B.J. Fleetham who brings them to the second stage program along with their winged companion, Hugo the parrot.

“They have a kid thing,” says Fleetham, who has been bringing the animals once a week for half a year. “I never taught it, they’re bred for chil-dren.”

She and her furry/feathered friends are here as recent partners of the sec-ond stage program that helps women and their children who come from a history of family abuse.

“It’s very therapeutic for the fami-lies,” says Kathleen Mosa, executive director of Xolhemet society. “I think the moms love it more than the kids.”

The animals have a relaxing effect on everyone, and Fleetham says many of the women have opened up to her

in that environment watching their children at play.

Tiffany, a mother of two and former resident of second stage, has found a new friend in Hugo who first snuggles her ankles, then struts away and per-forms a dance.

The bird and dogs are new since Tif-fany’s year-long stay here ended, but they are just one more reason to visit second stage.

Like many current and former residents at second stage, the mother and her two children first stayed at the originally named Xolhemet (first stage) transition house.

A Chilliwack man is lucky he wasn’t killed by police after a violent confrontation where

he aimed a gun at an officer, threw a dumbbell at another, tried to take that Mountie’s gun and got hold of a Taser.

“The reality is he is lucky he didn’t get shot,” Judge Richard Browning told Preston Terepocki’s lawyer in court last Thursday.

Terepocki faces a raft of charges after the July 6 incident, including disarming a police officer, use of an imitation firearm, threatening to use a weapon, resisting arrest and utter-ing threats.

His lawyer, Martin Finch, told the court at a bail hearing Thursday that Terepocki remembers nothing from the violent struggle with two officers, even suggesting someone might have slipped a drug into his drink at the bar.

In anticipation of concerns from nearby resi-dents and business owners, proponents of a slaughterhouse near the corner of Yale and

Airport roads in Chilliwack hired an industry expert to assess the project’s ability to deal with odours.

The proposed 22,000-square-foot abattoir would have a daily processing capacity of up to 100 beef cows and is slated to be built on two Brannick Place properties across Chilliwack Creek from a number of Airport Road busi-nesses, including Fortin’s, Home Hardware and Mertin Chevrolet.

The facility will also be about 200 metres from the Vibe apartment complex on Yale Road.

The properties in question are already zoned for agricultural food processing—Vantage Foods and Sandel Foods are in the area—but a text amendment is needed to allow for an abat-toir and the associated processes needed with a slaughterhouse.

The applicant, Meadow Valley Meats, intends

to apply for Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) certification “to allow for better market access for local beef to major retailers and food processors, as well as potential for export mar-kets,” according to a city staff report.

The facility will have odour abatement equipment as regulated by the provincial gov-ernment, and the fully enclosed facility will prevent odours from being released.

In its application, Meadow Valley Meats pro-vided comments on possible odour issues from Alberta-based industry expert Doug Bell. He concluded there would be “no reason why this new facility would have any odours or even give passersby any idea that it was a beef processing facility other than the signage.”

The city staff report said that while abattoirs were not originally included when the AFP zone was created in 2006, the proposed text amendment is consistent with the Agricultural Land Commission’s non-farm use approval for

Expert says planned beef abattoir won’t emit odour

event,” Finch told the court.The incident began when

police attended to a motor vehicle accident Terepocki was involved in, according to Crown counsel Andrea Orm-iston.

The officer at the scene sus-pected the 32-year-old was on drugs but did not have enough for an impaired driving charge so offered him a ride home.

It was there when his girl-friend Laura Pope started arguing with Terepocki, telling police he stole her car and that he should be charged.

A domestic disturbance began to escalate so the Mountie told Terepocki he needed to leave. That’s when he pulled what looked like a black handgun, pointed it at the officer and told her he wanted her to leave, Ormiston told the court.

She called for backup and, with two officers in the house, Terepocki continued to resist leaving. The male Mountie tried to escort him down the stairs, according to Ormiston,

and that’s when he threw a 36-pound dumbbell narrowly missing the officer.

An altercation ensued and Terepocki allegedly went for the male officer’s sidearm.

The female officer deployed her Taser, but it did almost nothing to deter the man who then allegedly got a hold of the Taser and tried to deploy it.

“Both officers feel the surge of electricity but don’t receive direct contact,” Ormiston said.

The off icers eventually were able to arrest Terepocki, although even then he man-aged to kick the male officer into the wall breaking his hand.

He continued to resist arrest all the way to cells.

Terepocki has an exten-sive criminal history, includ-ing kidnapping a woman in Grande Prairie, Alta., who eventually married him.

According to a Canadian Press story from 2004, Terep-ocki abducted a 44-year-old woman who he had a romantic relationship with and dragged her to Revelstoke, B.C. During a stop for food en route, he slapped her across the face when she tried to signal other restaurant customers to call 9-1-1.

He was handed a suspended sentence and an order to take counselling and abstain from drugs or alcohol, and he did eventually marry the victim, but has since separated from her.

Browning set cash bail for his release at $5,000, and while his lawyer said his father and brother support him, Terepoc-ki remains in custody as he has been unable to perfect bail.

His first appearance after the bail hearing was Tuesday. He is next due in court Aug. 4.

such lands.In a letter of support for the project, Chilli-

wack Agricultural Commission Walter Dyck told city hall the exclusion of meat processing in the AFP zone in 2006 was “an oversight.”

“In recent years there has been a priority placed on ensuring meat and poultry prod-ucts can be produced and processed in British Columbia,” Dyck wrote. “Investment in new

processing facilities is seen as an important part of the value chain that ensures safe, high quality meat products for consumers. . . . This addition would support opportunities for a strong, viable and profitable meat industry in British Columbia.”

Council gave first reading to the text amend-ment at Tuesday’s meeting and a public hear-ing is scheduled for Aug. 18 at 7 p.m.

“Xolhemet saved my life.”

- Tiff any

A safe place for women and kids{ WILMA, from page A1 }

Greg Laychak/TIMES

RCMP officers of “E” Division marching troop rehearse their perfor-mance Tuesday across from the Pacific Region Training Centre in advance of the 2015 Okanagan Military Tattoo held in Vernon July 25 to 26. The seven-minute display incorporates RCMP officers in red serge uniforms firing traditional .303 Lee Enfield rifles with blanks.

PARADE RED SERGE OF PRIDE

“Xolhemet saved my life,” she says. “It was the worst time of my life. I had no family, everything fell apart.”

Though Xolhemet society and its services have been around for almost 30 years, the group has remained relatively unknown, due to the fact that there is a misconception that the facilities are only available to First Nations clients.

Even within the aboriginal population, women were reluctant to use the first stage, short-er-term shelter because the name Xolhemet was easily mistaken for Xyolhemeylh (a Sto:lo child and family services organization).

Since changing the official label to Wilma’s transition house one-and-a-half years ago, both first and second stage locations have been busy, according to Mosa.

“Last year was our highest number of bed night stays,” says Mosa. “We did 3,500 bed night stays last year.”

That’s almost 10 bed night stays per day (by 213 unique women and 96 unique children visitors).

Guests are allowed to stay 30 days at Wilma—with flexibility—and the loca-tion is kept confidential to protect clients and offer them peace of mind.

And depending on their situation some, like Tiffany, are encouraged to apply for second stage where they can stay up to two years if accepted.

Clients are asked to try a minimum of six months upon entry, and though often

reluctant at first according to Mosa, most stay longer.

“I think they feel safe here,” she says. “I think that they’re surprised about the groups and how much they help and the on-site counselling, the opportunities for their kids.”

Tiffany gives credit to the mandatory programming and counseling for turning her life around.

Having lost her mother when she was 21 Tiffany didn’t have any help learning how to raise her children.

And her boyfriend’s family was of little help, themselves contributing to the psychological abuse she endured under their roof.

So the parenting pro-grams at Xolhemet were a godsend for Tiffany and her children.

Counselling has also helped her realize to what extent she was abused—that it wasn’t just the physical violence but the

emotional manipulation as well.She faced an environment of mental

games from her boyfriend and his family and threats to harm her until the point where Tiffany believed she was crazy.

“They stopped feeding me at that house, they wouldn’t let me eat,” she said. “They’d hide dinner in the stove and tell me they didn’t cook when I came home from work.

“They were horrible.” It has taken counselling to get Tiffany

to where she is today, more reassured and living on her own.

But she also acknowledges the con-stant community atmosphere of second stage as a major factor of her path to recovery.

They are like family, Tiffany says. Fam-ily that is always available.

“They let you relax and catch your feet after you’ve just had the whole rug pulled out from your entire world,” she says.

Through this community Tiffany has discovered hiking, which is now a con-stant source of healing for her.

And she has been inspired to go to school for social work within the next couple of years.

“I feel like I need to give back to the community that helped me so much in the worst time of my life,” Tiffany says. “They helped me, and they saved our little lives.”

She can’t pinpoint one specific ele-ment of the second stage program that makes it work. It’s all of the people, coun-selling and the other touches like hiking and animal therapy.

Even before Leeroy, MaGee and Hugo brought smiles to residents’ faces, Tiffa-ny’s son was overjoyed with an unforget-table trip to the aquarium and zoo.

“We had a really great first year in the middle of chaos and horrible stuff,” she says. “[The children] probably won’t even remember any of the nasty, bad stuff because there was so much positive and exciting.”

According to Tiffany, it’s on days like today after they come for a visit with the animals and the community that her children get mad when it’s time to leave saying, “I wish we still lived here.”

◗ Wilma’s transition house hosts the Chil-liwack Community Family Fun Day July 25 from 10 a.m to 3 p.m. at Watson ele-mentary school. Visitors who donate (sug-gested minimum of $2) can have a photo taken with Leeroy, MaGee or Hugo. There will also be other activities including face painting, a bouncy castle, a velcro wall, a dunk tank, a hockey shootout and more.

Brown...

is the new greenLawn sprinkling down to once a weekBY PAUL J. HENDERSON

[email protected]

On the heels of another week-end of record temperatures in Chilliwack, and as the province

declared the highest drought level for B.C., city hall has increased restrictions on residential water usage.

As of Monday, the city moved to stage three watering restrictions reducing the number of lawn sprinkling times to three hours once a week.

On July 15, the Ministry of Forests, Land and Natural Resource Operations announced the drought rating for the south coast and Lower Fraser areas was at level four, the highest possible.

In C h i l l i w a c k , f o r re s i d e n t s a t even-numbered addresses, lawn water-ing is now only allowed Wednesdays from 5 to 8 a.m., and for odd-numbered addresses, Thursdays from 5 to 8 a.m.

Residents that do choose to water their lawns during this time are asked to avoid watering sidewalks or roads.

Watering flower and vegetable gar-dens, shrubs and trees is still permitted at any time with the use of a spring-load-ed hose adaptor, watering can or soaker hose.

With the increased level of restrictions comes increased enforcement. Now in addition to reminders and warnings from city staff, those caught watering outside of restricted hours will receive a $100 fine after one warning.

“The city will be increasing patrols for education and enforcement purpos-es,” director of engineering David Blain told the Times. “This will include staff going out in the evenings and early in the mornings. The patrollers will be noting evidence of excessive water use for fur-ther follow up.”

Temperatures have cooled slightly this

week, but this past weekend was anoth-er scorcher in the city as Saturday’s 34.7 C high broke the all-time maximum reading for July 18 of 33.6 C back in 1995, according to Roger Pannett, volunteer weather observer for Environment Can-ada. Saturday’s average temperature of 25.85 C was also a high breaking the 1911 record of 25.6 C.

On Sunday, a record-breaking high minimum of 18.2 C was recorded, as was a high mean temperature of 26.55 C. The high temperature on July 19 of 34.9 C fell just short of the all-time record 35 C on that day in 1956.

July 19 was the 11th hot day with tem-peratures in excess of 30 C. The 30-year average for July is three hot days over 30 C.

Just 8.4 mm of rain has fallen in July. The average is 46 mm.

For more information on watering restrictions visit chilliwack.com/Water-Restrictions. Violations can be reported to the engineering department at 604-793-2907.

What is actually permitted?With news of the stage three water restrictions came questions from residents about what they can or can’t do, and why city crews continue to water.Here are a few typical questions and answers from the city:

Can I wash my car?Yes, vehicle washing is permitted but must be done using a bucket or hose equipped with a spring-loaded shut off, and all washing should take place over grass or gravel surface. If we get to stage four restrictions, this will be prohibited.

Can I water my vegetable garden?Yes, again using a hand-held hose or watering can.

Can my kids run through the sprinkler?The use of sprinklers for recreational use is permitted provided water is not wasted. Sprinklers should be turned off immediately after use. At stage four restrictions, this will be prohibited.

Will spray parks remain open?Yes. Many residents with children that have no air conditioning at home rely on spray parks during the hot weather as a place to cool off.

Why is the city watering municipal playing fields and land-scaped beds in boulevards?Most playing fields are constructed on a sand base for good drainage, but this means the turf will die if not watered regularly. The cost of replacement for total loss would be “unacceptably high.” As for city landscaping beds and grass medians, they are exempt from water restrictions because they are designed to provide efficient drainage so require frequent watering. Sprinkler timing and positioning is being corrected to eliminate the waste of water. Furthermore, these areas are fire sensitive due to public smoking and need to be kept moist to avoid fire hazards.

What if I’m on a well?The municipality’s restrictions don’t apply, but city hall encour-ages private well owners to respect the provincial government’s request to maximize conservation. Any formal restrictions would be issued by the province.

OUR TEAM

As a new owner of a patch of grass, I’m now in the world of mowing, trimming and watering.

It’s an odd phenomenon, the lawn.Anyone with kids or pets or a proclivi-

ty for bocce ball understands the appeal of having a patch of ground covered in this simple plant that grows uniformly and is easy to keep short and tidy and soft and is pleasing to bare feet.

There is, though, a sense that some-one who looks at my lawn might judge me. I mow and trim with a certain sense of pride since it’s new and it’s mine. “Look at me, I’m suburban.” But there is also a keeping up with the Joneses aspect to it. I didn’t have time to mow one week, does it look bad? Maybe an unkempt lawn points to some other defi-ciencies in my personality?

But all that silliness is for a “normal” year. Suburban voyeurism is now turned on its head with stage three water restric-tions in place. Now there’s a new kind of judging thy neighbour going on. “Hmm, that lawn is too green? For shame!”

The recent heat wave and drought conditions have triggered a social pres-sure to stop watering.

Mayor Sharon Gaetz even said at a city council meeting that it was a badge

of courage to have brown in your lawn. I Tweeted an image of my golden straw, she said she was “totally impressed.”

Who would have thought we would reach the point of pride in a crappy look-ing lawn?

“Brown is the new green,” say the signs in drought-stricken California.

But why a lawn at all? Why grass at all? At least as far as front yards go where few people linger, what is the actual point? One front yard I’ve seen has artificial turf and the house across the street from it has an ever-changing and intriguing patch of permaculture on display.

Lawns are now only allowed to be watered three hours a week. It doesn’t take a busybody to find flouters of the ordinance. Some proud lawnkeepers in my neighbourhood long ago gave up the green, either knowing it was a futile bat-tle or out of respect for the aquifer.

But there are still others who even in drought conditions pressure wash their

driveways and hose down their vehi-cles. Their gardens are immaculate and moist, their grass tender and pert. With gleaming pickups and SUVs, they do what they please.

Add to this the proclivity for social shaming on social media. Images are posted of bad parking, strewn garbage and pets in hot cars. With wildfires across the province we see shaming images of folks tossing cigarette butts out of vehicles. (Note: Why is tossing a ciga-rette butt ever OK? Isn’t that littering?)

City hall has moved from issuing warnings for illegal water use to issuing $100 fines. Most illegal watering is done in the middle of the night when bylaw officers aren’t working, but the city says call anyway and evidence of a green lawn might be enough for a fine.

But the real punishment is the shame-based rituals on Facebook, right? We see it all the time. And I don’t think it works. Here’s why: Those of us who adhere to watering restrictions, dispose of garbage properly, put pets on leashes and don’t toss burning tobacco on the ground, mostly do so out of a respect for others, but also out of a self-awareness that we shouldn’t do such things.

Those who flout social conventions,

bylaws and laws, on the other hand, do so out of ignorance or belligerence.

They either don’t get it or they don’t give two bits what you think of them. Shame doesn’t work on the shameless. Or the clueless.

Most residents are respectful of the laws either because they are general-ly respectful of laws or because they respect the reason behind the laws. For others, enforcement is all there is.

In a recent op-ed distributed to the media, MLA Mike Morris, parliamena-ry secretary to the Minister of Forests suggested that while “It’s often said that you can’t legislate against stupidity . . . if exploring the idea of harsher penalties for careless acts means more people get the message, we must do it.”

He was talking about cigarette butts and forest fires, and there’s a categorical difference between starting a forest fire and watering your lawn during a drought. But I think Morris is correct: You can’t legislate stupidity, and I would add that you can’t shame those who don’t care what others think of them.

So the Facebook photos of bylaw flouting is fine; call them on their behaviours digitally, sure, but they need to be taken to task in the real world.

You can’t shame the shameless

OUR VIEW

Whenever a cop shoots someone, we in the media are all over it, and the amateur judges and juries across

the Internet are quick to hold court.When an RCMP member fires their sidearm at a civil-

ian, hard questions need to be answered by those who oversee public policing. Why could the situation not have been de-escalated without the use of deadly force?

But all too often the reaction of the social media mob is one of righteous indignation that another cop killed another civilian. Judgments are made before the facts are in. It’s important to note that RCMP officers do very important and dangerous work. Imagine a job where each time you are called to do something, you have no idea what you are up against and what level of threat you face.

So it is with remarkable restraint that two Chilliwack RCMP officers did not kill a man who violently attacked them during a domestic incident on July 6 (story page one). In a drug-fuelled rage, the suspect allegedly threw at least one dumbbell at an officer, broke his hand, tried to take his gun, and eventually did get his hands on a Taser.

Why they didn’t shoot this guy is a mystery, and he should send thank you letters to these officers from the cell he’ll be in for the next few years.

We should say thank you, too.

Editor:Anavets Unit 305 has

been “wounded” by the Wounded Warriors Weekend (WWW).

Our executive and members elected to wholeheartedly support WWW events and their merchandising efforts as a good cause. Who wouldn’t?

So most events and merchandising projects of the WWW are cen-tred at Anavets 305. We opened up our premises, telephone line, meeting rooms and encouraged member volunteers to help the Wounded War-rior Weeked group reach its goal: provide a relaxed weekend to military per-sonnel and first respond-ers suffering from PTSD. We committed ourselves to purchase event tickets, buy T-shirts, caps, etc., to support the WWW.

It also required that we cancel and postpone the usual summer fundrais-ing events that support our unit. Pockets only run so deep.

As you know, the Wounded Warrior Week-end was a wash, since the organizers at the very top failed to get their ducks in a row, and make the organization a legal char-ity within the regulations of the Canadian govern-ment. Chilliwack busi-nesses, always generous, stopped donations when proper receipts were not forthcoming.

So, you ask, how was the Anavets “wounded?” By lost sales during a normally sparse summer period.

Trying to regain ground, Anavets Unit 305 is offering two events to try to make up for this summer shortfall, and we are asking for your support.

The Bob Pinter Memo-rial Golf Tournament takes place Aug. 9 at Kinkora. This will be best ball fun and laughter. Tickets are $35, available at the Anavets bar, and include the round of golf, with a free meal and place prizes.

Bernie and Red will entertain on Sunday, Aug. 16 from 2 p.m. Tick-ets are $10 and available at the bar. More fun and much laughter is guaran-teed by this talented duo.

Election offers real choicesEditor:

I chose Chilliwack as my home. I did so because I love the lifestyle

Chilliwack has to offer, with plenty of river walks and healthy food, friendly local farms and business-es, a dynamic community university, and lots of good neighbours and enriching communities. I’m now running as your federal New Dem-ocrat candidate for 2015 because I think we need a real sustainable develop-ment program to protect this lifestyle.

Election 2015 is now only 90 days away and counting. This election offers us real choices between the politics of fear and corruption of the Conservatives and Liberals and the politics of hope and well-being offered by Mulcair’s New Democrats. How we vote will determine how we as a community face pressing population and development demands in the coming years. To meet these challenges, I propose a comprehensive and integrated sustain-able economic plan to develop the region as a “Healthy Living Destina-tion.”

This proposal is the fruit of months of con-sultations with local farmers, businesses and environmental and social organizations. It is framed to build unity and rally our diverse interests towards a common vision with concrete goals for the development of the region. The plan would provide a comprehensive strategy to attract and serve retirees; day visitors from the Lower Mainland; eco-tourists for fishing, biking and hiking, and small businesses needing access to new markets. Food security, health and safety and sustainability are at the heart of the plan.

To support develop-ment initiatives, Mulcair and the federal NDP com-mitted to provide stable infrastructure funding for communities for the next 20 years to generate 10,000 new social housing units and local transpor-tation solutions to reduce traffic gridlock. The fund will provide $1.5 billion a year in the first term of an NDP government and an annual $1.3 billion over the entire two decades, funded in part by re-allo-cating one cent of gas tax revenues.

In his letter to your paper (July 16, “Fed’s paternalistic attitude has to change”), the local Lib-eral candidate alluded to unspecified infrastructure support. As usual, there were no commitments of actual dollar amounts.

The irony is that Liberal and later Conservative governments sat passively by while the current $172 billion deficit in infra-structure investments accumulated over the last two decades. So why should we trust them now to solve problems they generated?

Other NDP initiatives supporting the develop-ment of Chilliwack-Hope as a “Healthy Living Des-tination” include restor-ing healthcare funding and environmental pro-tections, implementing a

green energy economic plan and supporting small businesses with tax breaks and innova-tion incentives. We will protect family farms and supply management in agriculture while generating high-quality local jobs across sectors that support sustain-able living and reduce emissions associated with climate change. By co-ordinating planning under this common framework, we make our communities more attractive to a range of

public and private inves-tors.

Last October, I visited NDP agriculture critic Malcolm Allen in Ottawa to discuss this proposal. Now I am delighted to announce that he has agreed to visit the riding to meet with the com-munity on Aug. 28. As the author of the new NDP agriculture and food security policy, Everybody Eats, Allen will present the policy to British Columbia right here in Chilliwack-Hope. We are the only party to provide a comprehensive agricultural and food security policy. During his visit here, Allen will tour farming areas and consult with local farm-ers, food inspectors and experts.

Polls suggest the NDP is within a few percentage points of winning this riding in October 2015,

thereby putting an end to the local Conservative dynasty and its strangle-hold on the region. We appear to be the only party positioned to do so. But we can’t do it without your support. Help us to offer a strong and ethical voice from this region in the next NDP government in Ottawa.

Please join us for our “Celebrating a Better Tomorrow” BBQ at Yar-row Community School on July 26 from 2 to 5 p.m. to learn more about our “Healthy Living Desti-nation” proposal and to meet like-minded people in the community. For more info on this and on Allen’s visit, see Seon-aighMacPherson.ndp.ca, or visit my candidate FB page.

Junior divot a summer treatEditor:

We just wanted to say a big “thank you” to Glenda Standeven and the Optimist Club of Chilliwack for organizing the Fred Wellsby Junior Divot Golf Tournament. Our two sons have par-ticipated for several years now, and it is one of the highlights of their sum-mer. The Optimist Club is the main sponsor of the event, along with some of our amazing Fraser Val-ley golf courses. Thank you to everyone who volunteers their time and makes this event possi-ble. See you again next year!

Chris loves Chilliwack!BY MORRIS WATSON

Chilliwack Victory Church

Once you’ve lived long enough, you get to see things become so old that

they actually become new again. This happens with a lot of things. Clothes, hairstyles, architecture and even some cars are constantly drawing from the past in order to become new again. Those of us, who are on the older side, watch on as another generation sees something new in something old. It seems like there is really nothing new, and yet technology makes it seem new for another generation. Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 1:9, “That which has been is what will be, that which is done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun.” When Solomon said this, he wasn’t talking about technology, designs or fashions though; he was talking about the human condition. He was speak-ing to the fact that people are the way they are and the world is how it will be and even if something seems new, it’s not.

Today there is a great amount of talk about the condition of

the world. We look around at the things that are transpiring as though they are new, but in reality they are not. What is new is the speed in which we hear about them and the technology that’s involved in doing them. Personal lifestyle choices become political footballs, those things that are wrong become right and those things that are right become wrong. Besides all the social changes that are taking place there are so many things in the world today that can terrify peo-ple. Terrifying things have hap-pened throughout the ages and the only thing that has changed is the speed in which the news of it reaches us. Today the news is filled with reports of terrifying things. People having to face terrifying things is not new; it’s as old as the Earth itself and every generation has dealt with it in some form. We need courage today to face these terrifying things. One dictionary says that, “Courage applies to moral strength that makes a per-son face any danger, trouble or pain, steadily and without fear.”

Solomon said in Proverbs 3:25, “Do not be afraid of sudden terror,

nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes;” and Psalm 91:5-6 says, “You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pesti-lence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.”

These sound like terrifying things, why wouldn’t we be afraid? Both writers give us the answer; Solomon says in Proverbs 3:26, “For the Lord will be your confi-dence,” and the writer of Psalm 91 says in verse 6, “Because you have the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place.”

We face things every day that can terrify us in one way or anoth-er. It doesn’t have to be bomb threats, protests or violence; it can be, job loss, marital issues, way-ward children or other pressures. No matter what we face in life it takes courage to overcome it and courage finds its strength in confi-dent expectation. Scripture tells us that we can find confident expec-tation by putting our trust in God.

Facing the trials of life is nothing new for mankind and no matter what life throws at us, the answer

will always be the same. We can make God our refuge and draw from Him the courage that we need to overcome in this life.

The problems and the things that we deal with are certain-ly not new and neither is the answer. Jesus is the answer and His role has not changed and will not change as long as mankind endures on the earth. Hebrews 13:8 says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.” Mankind’s trials, tribulations, temptations and terrors are the same but so is the answer. There is truly nothing new under the sun and life will continue but it doesn’t have to be consumed with the problems that seem to overwhelm us.

People will do what they are going to do but we shouldn’t allow that to be the dominating force in our life. We can put our trust in God through Jesus Christ and He will become our refuge. He is not a new solution, He has always been the solution.

The City of Chilliwack is implementing an automated billing system to invoice property owners for false alarms which will come into full e�ect in September 2015.

What is a false alarm?A false alarm is the activation of an alarm system resulting in the attendance of the RCMP or the Fire Department at the property when there is no apparent or actual evidence to merit such a call. (See Bylaw No. 3747 for a full description.)

Why is the City implementing this bylaw?Starting in September 2015 the City will invoice property owners for false alarms in order to encourage people to reduce false alarms, which cause an unnecessary expense and take RCMP members or �re �ghters away from real emergencies.

City of Chilliwack, 8550 Young Rd, Chilliwack, BC Canada V2P 8A4 | 604-792-9311

Ensure that your security company calls you �rst in the event of an alarm.

Thank you for taking steps today to ensure you minimize false alarms. Please visit chilliwack.com/falsealarm for more information.

How can I avoid getting invoiced for a false alarm?

Veteran Huskers sticking around

BY GREG LAYCHAK

[email protected]

As the first game of the new season approaches, the Chilliwack Valley Husk-ers football team gears up to host their

season opener against the Kamloops Broncos this Saturday at Exhibition Stadium.

The last five years have not been kind to the Huskers, with a 2-1-7 (one win was forfeit) record in 2013 as the local squad’s best season since 2009.

But head coach Adam Smith and company have been working to build a stronger coach-ing staff and solidify relationships with local and regional feeder teams, as strategies shift to focus on team development.

The Huskers are starting to retain talent, with 17 players staying a second year with the team, nine third year players and a handful returning for a fourth season.

Notable are the 21 players new to the team this year compared to 30 last year, as the club realizes more experience starting to swell its ranks.

One of the new players, Chilliwack’s Brett Westad is a six-foot, 200-pound running back from G.W. Graham who will be the foun-

dation of the Huskers running game along with fellow rookie Brenden Atkinson of Mission.

Westad is an example of Smith’s effort to recruit from the local Grizzlies where he has strong connections, also coaching their suc-cessful Junior varsity team.

As for experienced players, Jason Ghag returns for his fourth season with the Chilli-wack team and the defensive back is expecting at least a couple of wins for his team.

“I think they’re heading in the right direc-tion, building the team up,” said Ghag of the coaching staff during main camp in early July. “There are a lot of young guys coming in this year so I think they’re building them up and we’re getting stronger for sure.”

The W.J. Mouat grad said that when the new-er players have been in the program for three or four seasons the Huskers could be dominant in the BCFC.

Last season, Ghag had 37 tackles, four pass deflections and an interception at cornerback.

Another player to watch this year is newcom-er Ryan Beaubien from Pitt Meadows second-ary school. The young versatile Beaubien will play a number of roles in his positions as safety, starting kicker and special teams.

And back for a third year with the Huskers, receiver Blake Draper is expected to be a force downfield.

The Red Deer product brings 44 receptions for 668 yards and three touchdowns of expe-

rience over the last two seasons with the local team.

This weekend, an optimistic Valley Huskers squad will face Kamloops. In their rivalry, the Broncos have won the last four of five meetings against Chilliwack.

◗ The Valley Huskers host the Kamloops Bron-cos on July 25 at 7 p.m. at Exhibition Stadium. The Chilliwack team dedicates their opening game to all of the military veterans in the com-munity. There will be a special opening cer-emony, entertainment and a half-time show. Admission to the game is $10 for adults $8 for seniors/students and free for all kids 12 and under, as well as all military veterans.

Jon Allen watches as his youth kayak team

runs loops around a small section of the Tamahi rapids slalom course Saturday.

The river is low this year but the races these paddlers are preparing for will go on as planned this weekend—even if it means altering the course.

Every four years the Canadian National Whitewater Champion-ships are held in Chil-liwack, and once again

they return for a local glimpse at countrywide talent.

This year, Jazmyne Denhol-lander returns home from the Pan American Games in Minden, Ont. where she claimed

gold in the women’s kay-ak slalom (K1) competi-tion on Sunday.

The 21-year-old Den-

hollander from Chilli-wack is sure to inspire local talent, and Allen says his crew of cadets and recently-turned juniors will compete in the nationals on home turf for the first time.

“Last time it was here in 2011 these guys were

just watching because they were quite new to the sport,” he says. “Now they’ve gotten to a point where they’re going to be competing for medals at this championship, and it’s really cool for me as a coach to see that evolution.”

Allen has been pad-dling in Chilliwack for 16 years and has seen the tournament come through town three times previously.

“When I started pad-dling, Chilliwack was really a centre of high performance racing,

and the site is still of that quality,” he says. “We have paddlers from all across Canada race here, and they do recognize the quality of the venue in Chilliwack.”

Allen himself will be racing in the senior K1 and C2 (canoe doubles), the latter with his brother

Player retention a hopeful sign the team can improve

› SportsPan American kayak goldChilliwack’s Jazmyne Denhollander won gold in the women’s kayak K1 slalom event at the Pan American Games in Minden, Ont., Sunday, edging out the competition by a boat tip. The 21-year-old local posted a time of 97.92 seconds with no time deducted for touch-ing or missing a gate to finish two

hundredths of a second ahead of second place paddler Ana Sati-la of Brazil. All top three places were close, with the third place

American kayaker Ashley Nee .03 seconds slower, making for a tight race. It’s a historic win for Denhol-lander, who is Canada’s first golden canoe slalom paddler at the Pan Am Games.

Parry buries the fieldBryn Parry won the top prize last weekend in the Chilliwack Men’s

Open golf tournament held at Chilliwack Golf Club. His seven-un-der-par 137 (66-71) over two days started with a six-birdie first round and earned Parry $2,000. Jared Rempel was the only local profes-sional golfer to get a piece of the winnings, tying for 15th with Chi-na’s Dong Su at two over (73-73--146) for his weekend efforts.

Greg Laychak/TIMES

Avery Wilkins practises at Tamihi Rapids last Saturday in preparation for the cadet category of this week’s Canadian National Whitewater Championships in Chilliwack.

Slalom 101• Age groups: cadets, under 14 years old; juniors, 14 to 18 years old; seniors, over 18 years old.• Hanging poles are called “gates”.• Paddlers must manoeuvre their boat through a green gate in a downstream direction, and a red gate in an upstream direction.• If anything touches the gate there is a two-second penalty.• If the gate is missed there is a 50 second penalty.• If a paddler turns over, he/she can roll and continue, but must paddle upstream to get any gates missed. • If a paddler comes out of his/her boat, he/she is disqualified.• Objective is to run the slalom course top to bottom as fast as possible with a time that beats all others in your category.To learn more, watch the video at: ccekay-ak.com/spectator-page.

Sarah Sovereign Photography

Members of the cast of Oklahoma!, left to right, Justin Stanton, Walt Derksen, Miles Merry, Lyndon Shuster, Cameron McKerchar, Zachary Power, Michael Berger, David Dalton and Ross Biondolillo.

After a successful five seasons of theatre, Secondary Characters is back again this summer with a production of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Oklahoma!

In true Rodgers & Hammerstein fashion, the musical is full of adventure, jealousy, and of course romance.

The cast includes a large amount of returning talent, as well as some new faces. Morgan Cox, who is no stranger to Secondary Char-acters after starring as Joseph in their production of Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat (2013), will star as Curly. Deanne Ratzlaff, who has appeared in two of Secondary Characters’ productions, stars alongside Cox as Laurey.

This isn’t the first time that Secondary Characters has produced a Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, but it is Emily Hamel-Brisson’s first directorship with the group. Hamel-Brisson has directed other productions in the community including the Chilliwack Player’s Guild’s production of Anne of Green Gables: The Musical.

There are familiar faces as well, including choreographer Katrina Barson who was a cast member in the company’s first show, Little Women. The musical will be accompanied by a 14-piece live orches-tra, directed by Nicola Davies, one of Secondary Characters’ found-ers.

Oklahoma! will be Secondary Characters’ sixth production since the company started in 2010. Previous productions included The

Sound of Music (2012), Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream-coat (2013) and Into the Woods (2014).

◗ For more information and to purchase tickets contact the Chilliwack Cultural Centre box office at www.chilliwackculturalcentre.com or by calling 604-391-SHOW (7469). The musical runs nightly at 7:30 p.m. from July 23 to Aug. 2, with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. Ticket prices range from $16 to $22 except for the production’s premiere perfor-mance, with all tickets priced $12.

The Chilliwack Com-munity Arts Council

(CAC) is back with anoth-er art raffle, but this time the canvases are a little different.

The Chair Affair Raffle Draw for the Arts is for three Adirondack chairs painted by local artists John Butt, Cathy Angus-Healey and Sylvie Rous-sel-Janssens.

CAC executive director Patti Lawn helped orga-nize the local artists in

support of this project. “It’s an exciting and dif-

ferent way to highlight our visual artists,” she said. 

The chairs will be dis-played at the Chilliwack Community Arts Council’s booth at various commu-nity events throughout the summer, including Music and More (Wednesdays at the Chilliwack and Sardis libraries), Southside Rocks the River (Aug. 13, 20 and 27, 3 to 9 p.m. at the Ved-der Rotary Trail) and the

Garrison Village Festival (Aug. 28, 5 to 8 p.m.).

Raffle tickets can also be purchased at the above community events, as well as at the Art Room, 20-5725 Vedder Road, or by calling 604-769-ARTS (2787), before Aug. 31.

Tickets are $10 each and sales will benefit the children’s programming at the CAC. Winners to be announced Sept. 1. For more info visit www.chilli-wackartscouncil.com.

Art on the FarmBY VANESSA BROADBENT

Special to the Times

After a successful 10th anniversary last year, Art on the Farm is back again with more art, more music

and more food than ever.Art on the Farm is an annual outdoor

festival that features local entertainment and vendors, all in the beautiful setting of Columbia Valley. The small community, just past Cultus Lake and Lindell Beach, has been hosting the event since 2005.

Although the event is still in the same area, the venue has moved to Columbia Valley Hall, and while the event will still be mainly outdoors, artists and vendors will be set up both inside and outside.

Event organizer Minda Chittenden explained that although the venue is dif-ferent, the event hasn’t changed.

“When we decided to change venues, we wanted to keep to the same and keep it in the same valley,” she says.

Along with local art, Art on the Farm will feature live music and this year’s line-up includes Tony the Accordion Man as

well as singer/songwriter Norine Braun.Vendors will be selling everything from

handmade jewelry, to birdhouses, to homemade dog treats. There will also be entertainment for children including sev-eral book readings.

“We’ve grown a community of artists and now some of the artists that have been coming to the event help organize the event and we still have that nice com-munity flair,” Chittenden says.

Although the event is less than a month away, the application deadline is still open. Local artists interested in show-casing their art are encouraged to apply for a space at the event, which costs $50. Musicians, or other entertainers are also encouraged to apply. This can be done by filling out an online application at www.artonthefarm.ca or by emailing [email protected].

The family-friendly event will have crafts, activities and food, including a barbecue, pasta and woodfire pizzas. Art on the Farm is Aug. 15, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the Columbia Valley Hall, 1202 Kosikar Rd.

Three Adirondack chairs painted by local artists will be drawn for on Sept. 1.

“I came to settle in Chilli-wack when I started a career

in Canada two years ago. I found before me an amazing

display of pristine nature. This place has everything you

need, from little stores to great family-owned cafés who make

their food fresh from scratch daily. I also found my love for hiking. I have hiked Thurston,

Cheam, the Vedder Moun-tain, Liumchen Ridge and still haven’t explored half of what

Chilliwack has to offer.

- Doreen Park

Here’s what some of you have been telling us you love about Chilliwack . . .

“I love Chilliwack because it is the best and friendliest

place to raise children as well as the great sports

leagues and their coaches. I also love the mountains, water and the great teach-

ers we have in our Chilli-wack school system.”

- Rob Dow

“Chilliwack corn is tough to beat. Hikes in this town are great! I spy beauty 365 de-grees around. Living in this town is such a treat. Locals are happy and helpful. I am proud to be called a Chilli-

wackian. Walking along the Vedder trail. Apples, blue-

berries, raspberries all fresh and picked in town. Cultus

Lake for summer swims. Kayaking in all our great

outdoor lakes and rivers.”
