A Chilliwack Mountie with mental health and substance abuse issues who fired a shot-

gun in his backyard will not go to jail and could have his extensive firearm collection returned to him in one year.

Const. Darren Mulrooney was originally charged with two counts of assault, one count of careless use of a firearm and one count of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose in connection with an Oct. 26, 2013 incident on Third Avenue.

He pleaded guilty to one charge of careless use of a firearm and was handed a suspended sentence, two years probation and a one-year fire-arm ban in provincial court in Chilli-wack last Thursday.

T h e re w a s l i t t l e a g re e m e n t between Crown and defence about the facts leading up to the off-du-ty incident. What was agreed is that Mulrooney was out at a Halloween party with his common-law spouse and a close female friend of the cou-ple.

A dispute ensued between the three and Mulrooney returned to his

City council heard strong neighbourhood opposition to many elements of a proposed housing development on Higginson Road Tuesday.

Sunlight & views need addressing


[email protected]

A Chilliwack developer hoping to build 174 homes on a piece of farmland in Sardis was

sent back to the drawing board by city council Tuesday.

Many neighbours of the prop-erty at 45980 Higginson came to the public hearing to express opposition to the development, which would see not only single family homes but also townhous-

es proposed to be much taller than the mostly ranchers nearby.

Issues raised by neighbours ranged from decreased property values to increased traffic. But most complaints were about the height of the townhouse portion of the development, and specifi-cally a loss of privacy, views and sunlight. The proposed height of

up to 10 metres of some units in some areas of the large develop-ment property rankled many of the retired neighbours who said they cherished their sunlight and views.

Property owners in Chilliwack’s rural areas looking to rezone and densify got some good news Tuesday as city council

reduced the minimum lot size required to con-nect to the sewer system by a factor of five.

The decision, however, means the city is no longer eligible for the millions of dollars in senior government grants for future sewer extension projects.

City hall is increasingly receiving requests from residents in Yarrow, Greendale and Rosedale to rezone lots, but the current regulation means all lots less than one hectare (HA) have to be con-nected to the sanitary sewer system.

At Tuesday’s meeting, council gave introduc-tion and three readings to a bylaw to reduce that requirement from one hectare to one-fifth of a hectare.

The decision was based on an engineering study that found as long as these lots were con-nected to the water supply system, lot sizes of 0.2 hectares (half an acre) are sustainable.

A staff report presented to council outlined how in 2003 the city received $4.75 million in provincial/federal grants for the Sardis Park sewer system, and in 2010 $4 million for the Tyson/Stevenson system.

Each of these projects involved small lots built in the 1970s and “at the time of the proj-ect, were experiencing widespread septic field failures.”

A condition of the money in 2003 from the Building Canada Fund was the one-hectare minimum lot size requirement.

“The proposed bylaw change will not match this criteria and will make future grant funding for sewer projects more difficult to obtain.”

The staff report points out a cost estimate (from 2007) estimated it would cost more than $45 million to provide sanitary sewer services to the three rural areas:$18 million for Yar-row ($30,000 per property), $18.5 million for Rosedale ($48,000 per property), and $9 million for Greendale ($60,000 per property).

Provincial/federal grant funding would only amount to 66 per cent of those projects, and is unlikely anyway as “grant funding was difficult to obtain for projects in the $2 to $5 million range.”

Owners who intend to sub-divide properties in these areas will need to submit a detailed report to gain approval.

City council turned down $800,000 from Kinder Morgan to build a pedestrian bridge across the Vedder River adjacent to the Southern Rail Bridge.

City turns down pipeline moneyBY PAUL J. HENDERSON

[email protected]

Chilliwack is one of the first communities along the Kinder Morgan pipeline

to turn up its nose at hundreds of thousands of dollars of free money from the Texas oil giant.

The offer of $800,000 to pay for 80 per cent of a pedestrian bridge across the Vedder River was called a bribe by those critical of the com-pany and its plan to triple capacity of the 62-year-old Trans Mountain pipeline.

Kinder Morgan has signed memorandums of understand-ing (MOUs) worth $5 million to most communities east of Hope except for two, according to the city’s director of operations Glen MacPherson.

All that money is contingent upon the National Energy Board’s (NEB) approval of the $5.4-billion project after the current review. The City of Chilliwack is a registered commenter in that review, and the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) is an intervenor.

“The FVRD has a number of con-

cerns,” Coun. Jason Lum said Tues-day in making a motion to defer signing the MOU until after the NEB approves the project, which isn’t expected until spring 2016. “Making the decision today feels a little like putting the cart before the horse.”

C o u n . S a m W a d d i n g t o n expressed how torn he was about the decision since the bridge would be a positive addition to the trail system.

“If it is going to come through Chilliwack [the pipeline] I’d like to see Chilliwack glean every last ben-efit out of this,” he said.

Coun. Sue Attrill said she was concerned Kinder Morgan would use the MOUs as leverage with the NEB during consultations.

“I certainly do not agree that it’s a bribe,” Attrill said “I do feel it would give them leverage with the NEB.”

Lum further suggested the $800,000 in funds is “almost insig-nificant” compared to the tax rev-enue the city will collect on the pipeline if it is approved, money the

city can allocate any way it wishes. And approval over which the city has no authority.

Gaetz said the city may lose out if the MOU is not signed by May 29.

“If Kinder Morgan does not change their policy of having every-one in now, then we may be at risk of losing $800,000,” she said.

Local environmental organiza-tion the WaterWealth Project called the offer a bribe.

“[I]t is very concerning that any participant who has yet to submit evidence in a regulatory process is being offered large sums of money that hinge on the outcome of that regulatory process,” wrote Ian Ste-phen of The WaterWealth Project. “That sounds a lot like a bribe.”

Gaetz called the use of the word bribe “offensive.”

“Council does not accept bribes and it never has,” she said.

Other communities along the route have signed MOUs with Kinder Morgan for this kind of money to be distributed if and when the NEB approves the pipe-

line expansion: The District of Clearwater signed an MOU for $390,000, the District of Barriere $290,000, Merritt $420,000 and Kamloops $700,000.

The company has also apparent-ly committed an unknown amount of money to the University of the Fraser Valley.

The Trans Mountain pipeline runs diagonally across the city of Chilliwack from Popkum, running under agricultural land, Kinkora Golf Course, adjacent to residen-tial areas and under First Nations land, two school properties and underneath the Vedder River and the Peach Ponds just east of the rail bridge.

The NEB is currently review-ing the project and the review is expected to conclude in October 2015, with the board’s final decision expected in spring 2016.

Without the funds from Kinder Morgan, the pedestrian bridge is not budgeted for within the next 20 years. With it, however, the project could be built as early as 2017.

house alone. The two wom-en followed later, there was an argument during which some “punches and hits” were thrown, according to Judge Gary Cohen, and that’s when Mulrooney went to his gun safe and removed two guns.

“He made a decision that he wanted to kill himself,” Mul-rooney’s lawyer David Butcher told the court.

As he went out to the backyard with an Iver Johnson 12-gauge shotgun, the female friend “to her credit,” according to Mulrooney’s lawyer, tackled him.

“And the gun went off acciden-tally,” Butcher said.

The woman—whose name the Times will not print to protect her—was “seriously traumatized” by the incident, according to the judge. After the sentencing she expressed her disappointment on Facebook: “We live in a day and age where an off duty police offi-cer can beat up two women, near-ly blow one of their heads off with a shot gun and only get probation, get to have their guns back after a year and keep their jobs.... And you wonder why criminals don’t care, if a police officer who should be held to a higher level gets nothing, what does the average criminal get?”

C o h e n ha n d e d Mu l ro o n e y a suspended sentence, which means he will have a criminal record, while his lawyer sought a conditional discharge, which would not. Cohen declined to give the condition-a l d i s c h a r g e , f i n d i n g t h a t Mulrooney con-sumed alcohol that night know-ing that he had a substance abuse p r o b l e m a n d knowing it was a trigger for his depression.

He said fur-t h e r t h a t a n aggravating fac-tor was that he was a police offi-cer who should have a “higher standard in the proper handling of guns.”

D u r i n g t h e incident when Mulrooney took out the shotgun, he also removed another firearm and ammunition, which was left unsecured in the house.

“Fortunately no one was hurt,”

Cohen found. “The result could have been tragic.”

While Mulrooney was given a one-year firearm ban, the judge agreed to an exception in the law where firearms are needed for

lawful employ-m e n t . T h i s m e a n s t hat i f the RCMP allow him back to reg-ular duty, and if RCMP officials allow it, he will be al lowed to carry his gun.

Butcher told the court that in addition to b e i n g a l o c a l f ishing guide, Mu l ro o n e y i s a h u n t e r a n d a competit ive archer. The judge o r d e r e d t h a t other than the forfeiture of the shotgun used in the incident, his

firearms remain in the custody of the Chilliwack RCMP until the end of his one-year firearms ban and then be returned to him “subject to further orders from the court.”

Eric Van Maren is a multi-bil-lionaire. He is not, nor does he claim to be.

The grades are in for British Columbia high schools, and if the annual Fraser Institute’s

Report Card on British Columbia’s Secondary Schools is any indica-tion, Chilliwack public schools were toward the bottom of the class last year.

According to the conservative think tank’s rankings, Sardis sec-ondary school performed best of the three local public schools in the 2013-14 year, staying above the mid-way point at 136th of the 289 listed.

G.W. Graham middle secondary (GWG) placed 209th, and the recent-ly rebuilt Chilliwack secondary (CSS) came only 21 spots out of last at 268th.

“We don’t spend a lot of time ana-lyzing the Fraser Institute results,” said Chilliwack school district super-intendent Evelyn Novak. “We prefer to use a broad range and broad vari-ety of assessments and achievement data.”

The Institute bases its overall rank-ing of B.C. schools on seven indica-tors that are all annually generated data from the Ministry of Educa-tion, such as average exam marks, graduation rates and delayed advancement rates.

Novak and her staff use those statistics as well, but instead of just looking at the end result and doing an autopsy the district analysis drills down deeper into the student data, she said.

Chilliwack secondary’s rank is a good example of why reports like the Fraser Institute’s should be viewed with critical eyes.

Due to a clerical error that was corrected by the district but wasn’t updated by the Ministry of Educa-tion, the graduation rate of CSS is incorrectly listed as under 85 per cent (it’s really 91 per cent accord-ing to Chilliwack staff).

What’s also important, said dis-trict director of instruction Janet Hall, is that this data is made avail-able a full year after it’s actually

useful or relevant.“Any changes or innovations or

new practices that we want to be looking at are already well under way by the time that report is received by the public,” Hall said.

And Novak added that the dis-trict’s information accurately shows that there is improvement and staff are making a difference in student achievement.

B u t b a s e d o n t h o s e t e s t score and statis-tic-heavy stan-dards, only nine o f t h e t o p 5 0 schools in the province are pub-lic institutions.

I n c o n t r a s t , i n d e p e n d e n t s c h o o l s Hi g h -road and Mount Cheam ranked 43rd, with Unity Christian edging within the top 100 at 96th.

However, one has to be careful to look at the reasons why those numbers are skewed toward inde-pendent institutes and the agenda of the organization delivering the results, according to retired princi-pal Ken Bramble.

He said that private indepen-dent schools rank well by the pro-vincial exam criteria because of small class sizes, more enrolment from higher socio-economic areas, selective registration and instruc-tors teaching more specifically to those tests.

They don’t reflect the demo-graphic reality of the rest of the province, in other words.

Bramble said the study—and the testing it is based on—is part of a gradual shift over the past 30 years from a time when public schools

were collaborative, “working together to share and take advan-tage of best practices,” to a system where schools are encouraged to compete. Politicians, he said, have argued it would raise standards.

“Part of the process was the cre-ation of think tanks like the Fraser Institute to propagate and promote this school of thought: ‘Compe-tition is good. Public services are

bad,’” Bramble said.

Starting with the removal of s c h o o l c a t c h -ment boundaries in the name of choice, “magnet” schools resulted that specialize in programs from fine arts to sports academies.

School leaders have since sought out anything they believed would appeal to par-ents so they can attract more stu-

dents, said Bramble who has four decades of education experience.

He sees the public school system slowly being dismantled by chronic underfunding, to be replaced with private, somewhat self-sufficient schools.

Perhaps that has changed the public’s perception of the impor-tance of public schools as part of democracy and equality.

“At one time parents bought a house, then found the neighbour-hood school for their children,” Bramble said. “Now parents check the Fraser Institute Standings, the rumour-mill and word of mouth regarding schools before buying a house.”

“Many take a checklist on a clip-board and shop for a school.”

Failing grade for schoolsG.W. Graham and Chilliwack senior perform poorly in Fraser rankings

smokes, let’s be careful what we do,” neighbour Phyllis Fawcett said.

The Higginson Road proper-ty owned by William and Irene Higginson was removed from the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) in an Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) decision a year ago. The property is surrounded on three sides by homes and one by Kinkora Golf Course.

“The Commission believes that the subject property is essentially isolated from other ALR land and that this isolation presents a barrier to the future ability to utilize the subject property for agriculture,” was the ALC’s decision on March 5, 2014.

The application before council Tuesday was to amend the official community plan for the property from agricultural to low density residential, and to rezone from agri-cultural lowland to a new compre-hensive development zone created for the specific development.

Gaetz said that often residents

move in to an area, aren’t made aware of the future plans for neigh-bouring properties outlined in the city’s Official Community Plan (OCP), and then when develop-ment happens, they are sur-prised.

“Otherwise we would be in 1930s mode,” Gaetz said. “I am really sorry to say that most areas in our urban contain-ment boundary are scheduled for development at some point. So it is a little tiny bit of buyer beware.”

After about two hours of com-ments from residents about the plan, and some explanations of the plans from the developers, Gaetz made a motion to refer the proposal

back to staff to rework the develop-ment and deal with the concerns of residents.

“We can’t make everyone happy. We can’t give everyone sun-shine. We can’t give everyone lower rooflines,” Gaetz said, but added, “We can try, and we can try a little bit harder.”

Couns. Jason Lum, Chris Kloot and Sam Wad-dington agreed.

“A little more work needs to be done,” Wadding-ton said.

All councillors present voted in favour of Gaetz’s motion to send the rezoning and OCP amendment back to staff.

Couns. Chuck Stam and Ken Pop-ove were not in attendance.

Was it meant as a gift, a bribe, compensation for future damage, or was it just public

relations?Depending on who you talk to, there

are various opinions on what exactly was behind an offer of $800,000 by Kinder Morgan to the City of Chilliwack to build a pedestrian bridge as part of the Vedder trail network.

You see, the Texas pipeline company wants to twin (tripling capacity) the 1,150-kilometre Trans Mountain oil pipeline that runs from Alberta to Burn-aby. Kinder Morgan is currently amid National Energy Board (NEB) hearings into the project. The City of Chilliwack is an official “commenter” in those hearings. And the city has not yet sub-mitted its comment.

So when along comes $800,000 as part of the company’s “community benefit fund” and a memorandum of understanding with a May 29 deadline it looks, well, a little fishy.

Mayor Sharon Gaetz said it was “offensive” to call the cash a bribe, and while she was the most reluctant among city council to turn down the money, she too had her reservations.

Led by Coun. Jason Lum, council voted unanimously Tuesday to defer

signing the MOU until after the NEB makes its decision. That decision isn’t expected to come until spring 2016. The “deferral” likely equals “no, thanks.” I can’t imagine, once they project is approved, city hall saying: “Um, ya, about that $800,000 . . . can we have it now?”

Kinder Morgan has been heading west from Alberta for months now with sackfuls of loot for municipal governments. Chilliwack is the first community in the Lower Mainland to see the offer. Others to the east have had no apparent qualms. There is the photo in the Edson Leader of Edson, Alta. Mayor Greg Pasychyny signing an MOU with a Kinder Morgan official in February. Then there is the photo in the Merritt Herald of Mayor Neil Menard signing alongside Kinder Morgan presi-dent Ian Anderson in March.

No such photo op is coming to Chil-liwack.

Not a bribe, but Coun. Sue Attrill said

she was concerned the MOU could be used as leverage by Kinder Morgan at NEB hearings.

“All these communities signed agree-ments with us,” the company might say, “look at all the support for our project.”

The city has no say in whether the 1,150-kilometre oil pipeline will triple in capacity. The city’s opinion is one out of hundreds the NEB will hear from. (Even I have commenter status. Is my opinion on the plan equal to the city’s? Not likely. But if they offered my family $800,000, would that affect my comment on the project, which runs through Watson elementary’s field?)

Still, to call it a bribe is inaccurate. It would be a bribe if the company offered the money to National Energy Board members. So is it a gift? If so, it’s a cyn-ical one since it is only forthcoming if the company wins the approval lottery. If the NEB rejects Kinder Morgan’s application (which is highly unlikely) then all these community projects die.

Why not make it an unconditional gift, asks Yarrow resident and pipeline opponent Michael Hale?

“After all, Kinder Morgan has oper-ated the pipeline since they bought it in 2005,” Hale wrote in a letter to city council.

The $800,000 is not really a gift, and it’s not a bribe, so is it compensation?

The MOU says the money is intended to “offset impacts associated with the Expansion Project.”

Hale asks: “What impacts?”“Is the company implying that this

bridge and other enhancement projects will atone for future leaks and spills into our community and waterways?” Hale wonders. “Do we not need to know more about these future impacts before accepting this ‘legacy’?”

Likely the money is simply part of an elaborate corporate public relations plan. Little towns all along the pipeline route suddenly have new parks, trails and other community amenities thanks to the largesse of Kinder Morgan. Well, hold up, they don’t have them yet. Only if the NEB approves the project. And how could NEB decision makers turn it down now? Look at all the good that will come out of this project!

I think most of city council think the money is lost since the company put a May 29 signing deadline on the MOU. But if it is just a public relations move—and maybe it isn’t—then wouldn’t the company want to keep that positive PR going even after approval?

I guess, now, we have to wait and see.

Gift, bribe, compensation or just PR?

OUR VIEW

The unofficial start to summer has arrived as thou-sands of British Columbians hit the road this pastMay long weekend to go camping, visit relatives or

just leave their homes to enjoy some leisure time in thesunny weather.

But all that excitement to “get away” means thousandsmore cars on the road.

The May long weekend is notorious for seeing anincrease in traffic accidents, some with fatal consequences.

Provincially, on average, two people are killed and 490injured during the three-day weekend.

With these stats in mind, police are kicking off theirsummer enforcement blitz to try and prevent a tragic inci-dent and cut down on high-risk driving habits.

While impaired driving is a concern, many collisions arecaused by smaller errors in judgment.

Failing to yield the right-of-way, speeding, unsafe lanechanges, tailgating and ignoring traffic control devices areall contributors to accidents.

The summer is supposed to be a fun time of familyvacations, festivals and events to explore—drive slow,drive safe and come home alive.

If the statistics hold true, two B.C.’ers didn’t this pastweekend.

Don’t become a driving statistic

Editor:I am writing this let-

ter to highlight a public announcement that was printed in the Thursday, May 14 issue of the Chilli-wack Times.

The readers of the news-papers of the Fraser Valley may have missed this announcement and I also passed over it a couple times before it caught my attention.

In the wake of the apparent celebration of Aevitas Recycling plant being denied a space on the banks of our Fraser River, I find it incredibly ironic that this subtle pub-lic announcement slips in a quiet admission of willfully filling our water system with poison.

The “Development Of A Pest Management Plan” or “PNP # 794-003-15/20” states that there will be an intensive and rigorous application of herbicides over massive areas of local forest stretching from Maple Ridge to Boston Bar. At least eight chemical names where mentioned as well as the proposed methods, including stem injection, and arial spraying. Some chemicals include: Siloxylated Poly-ether “Sylgard 309”, Garlon RTU, Release MSO, and Weed-Master “Glyphos-phate.

I understand that this “pest control” plan is designed to protect the for-profit timber supply, which is certainly an important piece of the B.C. economy, but I wonder if anyone is just as deeply concerned about the effects of dumping five years worth of poison into our local eco-system, top soil and groundwater?

I also understand that those who have been keeping an eye on forestry know that massive spray-ing is nothing new. I’m not a biologist, but I’m sure it doesn’t take a scientist to conclude that this long-term introduction of her-bicides is not good for the natural habitat and food-chain, not to mention the overall environmental equity that humans ben-efit from (clean air, water and soil). Perhaps some-one can tell me: do the forests belong to the peo-

ple of British Columbia, or do they belong to timber companies?

I live in Chilliwack and I am concerned for the health of my children and my future grandchildren. After all, water flows downhill, (along with other substances) and as all of the run-off from our local mountains makes its way into our aquifers, reservoirs, rivers and lakes, it will now certainly have to go through these toxic forests.

My questions to local governments are: “What can be done to critique and prevent such a prac-tice without defaulting to the tired and stereotyp-ical ‘environmentalism versus industry’ argu-ment?” “And, what can municipal and provincial government do to protect and assure us of public safety in the communities involved in this massive herbicide application?”

It is a very crucial time in the history of Canada. Our post-industrialization and global trade has left us reeling from the con-sequences of our exploit-ative mass production/mass-consumption of both synthetic and natural resources. We bio-ma-nipulate and harvest stuff from the earth as if there is an endless supply. We build factories, and prod-ucts and financial empires, as if endless progress, end-less wealth, is attainable.

Many voices engage in the shouting matches at all levels of debate, from tree hugging environ-mentalists, to purebred capitalists. My hope is that men and women of real discernment will recog-nize the time of transition we are in as a developed nation, and make the right choice for sustain-ability and longevity that factors in public health and human happiness as

a part of the GDP rather than just dollars.

Darrell LahayChilliwack

Ban use of Round-UpEditor:

As a member of BC Teacher’s Federation, I have contacted BCTF Health and Safety Office in Vancouver to advise me on my two concerns for the well being of public school students in my municipality of Chilliwack where the budget must be drastically reduced.

Having read last week that the school board is tasked with cutting $2.7 million from the local public school budget, I am worried that severe trimming of “low hanging fruit” as B.C. Ministry of

Education has directed will cause mistakes to be made in programming where kids should come first. Instead, we might better look at savings to be made in general house-keeping decisions.

The Chilliwack Times reports last week that because of the magnitude of the cuts, the board proposed trimming budget items that so far will be “some CUPE and non-union job cuts and the closing of the Sto:lo alternative school.” Other items under scrutiny were the foreign students pro-gram and combining tech departments.

Nowhere did I see men-tion about termination of cosmetic herbicide applications to sports fields/school lawns (some of which are located over water aquifer), fitness gravel tracks, tree wells and fence borders. I have been told by Chilliwack Parks and Recreation and other district maintenance workers that “Round-Up” containing the herbicide glyphosate is regularly applied to grounds where children play, run, roll and relax and also grassy areas nearby where teachers’

cars are parked. It seems this cosmetic herbicide is meant to poison trou-blesome weeds on school grounds and public parks/tree wells, and sidewalks.

The news again, that glyphosate is probably linked to cancer, was released on the CBC recently. Glyphosate is the chemical ingredient in the Monsanto product Round-Up, which needs proper handling and pro-tective gear for those who spray it. Is the general public aware of this link to cancer (verified by the World Health Organiza-tion)?

To save budget money; I mostly suggest the school board revisit their priority in using unnecessary cos-metic, harmful toxins on school landscapes. Let the lawnmowers level out the turf and more importantly safeguard students’ health while saving unnecessary costs.

I respectfully submit my suggestions to the School District and the school board. I would also respectfully request the public to consider why there is such draco-nian haste to slash public school funding and to

encourage people to speak out about it for our children.

Enjoy youth involvementEditor:

Thanks Jason McNulty for your May 7 letter in the Times (“Should consider lowering voting age) on reducing the vot-ing age to 16 years of age. You made sound argu-ments, pointing out that 16 year-olds pay taxes and work so they deserve representation. Also, I liked your suggestion they could be supported by a good high school civics curriculum to vote responsibly.

Low voter turnout rates continue to be a concern in Chilliwack-Hope, with only 50 per cent of eligi-ble people voting in 2011. Low youth voting rates in B.C. are even more troubling, with only 41 per cent of 18 to 34 year olds voting that year. I’m not sure that lowering the voting age would help. One concern I would have is that teachers,

parents, or media may unduly influence the voting behaviour of less independently minded 16 and 17 year olds.

Democracy needs to be sustained in the next generation or we will lose the freedoms, rights, and protections our ancestors fought and died to pass along to us.

As the federal NDP candidate for Chilli-wack-Hope, I would welcome meeting with you and your peers to discuss your proposal and to share the strong agenda offered youth by the federal NDP under Tom Mulcair. Perhaps you and your high school students’ union could partner with the UFV Stu-dent Union to organize such an event, bringing together youth who can vote with those who can’t to put added pressure on politicians to attend and to listen.

Perhaps then the Conservative incumbent might even turn up.

Thanks for reminding us, Jason. I look forward to hearing from you.

Seonaigh MacPhersonfederal NDP candidate,

Greendale MB

We live in a wonderful part of the world. Our

son traveled to England, Spain and Morocco. He lived for a year in Denver, Colorado. On returning home to Chilliwack, he commented that this is one of the most beautiful parts of the world. Under-standing that his experi-ence was limited, I too, would agree with him.

Where else can we experience the mountains with their snow, the rich river valley that is able to grow many different crops, the ocean within about an hour’s drive, and all that these natural beauties afford us? Yet, often, we take all of this for granted.

We might complain about the farm smells as the fields are being fertil-ized, naturally. We could whine about the rain, bad

drivers, cost of living—I could go on and on. Yet when I consider the needs in our world whether close to home or far away I must be thankful and appre-ciative.

However, as a Jesus follower, I realize that as beautiful as this place I live now is, there is a place, which is going to far surpass this location. In fact, one of the New Testament writers tells Jesus followers exactly this when he addresses a letter to them starting with this “To God’s elect, strangers in the world, scattered . . .” This writer wanted them to know that they were strangers here. The word could be translated “exiles.”

When I travel I need a passport. This document tells the place where I am going the place where I belong or call home.

I value my Canadian passport. It allows me to freely travel to many coun-

tries around the world. When I cross a border I feel like a stranger. If there is a language barrier that feeling is intensified. Even crossing into the United States, I feel like a for-eigner in a strange land. I recognize that I have

fewer rights as a Canadian citizen in another country. Therefore I act like a guest.

The promise of leav-ing this earth and going to another place brings excitement and anticipa-tion. But, like leaving Can-ada, to do so a “passport”

is needed. I often hear that every-

one will get to heaven. I’m not sure on what basis we make that determination, and here is my issue, I can’t make that determi-nation. Only God, the Cre-ator, can decide who gets to come to this place.

I realize that this isn’t “correct” in our day but my worldview is that there is a God who has created every one of us, who cares for us enough to reveal Himself in the physical form of Jesus, and who provides a way for us to be with Him now and forever. It is this “passport” that I value the highest because I didn’t earn it, I wasn’t born to it but it is based on a Higher Power who loves me and all of humanity.

I would ask you to con-sider the One who is pre-paring a beautiful place for those who come to Him.

Coastal access for Canadian oil means an increase

of at least $5 per barrel. By getting full value for

our oil, everyone will benefit. Workers will gain from

the $5.4 billion project. Oil producers will earn more

revenue for their product. And Government will

collect more tax revenue from oil producers to spend

on programs such as health care, education and

other services that benefit all British Columbians.

Plus, we can invest in new training programs and

create new jobs for our youth.

“By accessing world markets for Canadian oil, we’ll enjoy increased tax dollars and years of employment.”

Staying healthy requires a daily commitment. It is not always easy to get out of bed for those

early-morning workouts or jump on the treadmill at the end of the night when you fi -nally have some free time, but such eff orts are a great way to maintain a healthy lifestyle into your golden years.

Many men and women know there are plenty of excuses to skip workouts. Overcoming such excuses can sometimes be diffi cult, but there are ways to ensure you stay on the right track toward a healthy lifestyle.

Excuse #1: I don’t have enough time to exercise. Shortage of time is a factor for many busy individuals. The Department of Health and Human Services recommends the average person get at least 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes a week of vigorous aerobic activity. Thirty minutes per day can easily be broken

up into three, 10-minute sessions. Take the stairs, jog on your lunch hour or do deep-seated squats while pre-paring dinner. It’s easy to fi t in daily exercise if you’re willing to be creative.

Excuse #2: I’m too out of shape. Getting back into shape is a prime motivator for exercise. However, fear of being able to keep up or personal body image issues sometimes keep people from exercising. There are workout routines for all fi tness levels. Starting slowly and building up intensity can help spur endurance and results.

Excuse #3: Gyms are too expensive. You don’t necessarily need a gym to get in shape, but the programs and guid-ance off ered at health centers certainly make it easier. Gyms may have diff erent price plans based on members’ needs, and many gyms are willing to work with prospective members op-erating on tight budgets. Check with your health insurance

provider, too, as you may be eligible for rebates or discounts if you make a predetermined number of visits in a given time span or use an in-network gym.

Excuse #4: Working out is boring. Performing the same routine day in and day out can be monotonous. That’s why it is important to vary your exercises and try new things. If you’re usually on the machines at the gym, try a group class instead. Enlist a friend to come along and it can make the workout more interesting.

Excuse #5: I’m too tired to workout. Routine exercise wakes up the senses and gives you energy, and daily workouts promote a more restful slum-ber. Over time you may fi nd that you feel more rested and energized.

Working out regularly promotes good mental and physical health. It’s easy to avoid exercise with a series of excuses, but now is the time to stop avoiding exercise and commit to a healthy lifestyle.

Enough excuses . . . start working out

Did you know? Fitness boot camp classes are growing in popularity at fi tness facilities across the country. This type of group physical training, which may take place indoors or outside, employs personal trainers and sometimes former military personnel as instructors. The regi-men is designed to build strength

and endurance through intense group exercise intervals. Classes may run 30 minutes to one hour in length. Many classes include some form of fast-paced cardiovascular exercise, along with a series of strength-training elements, like us-ing dumbbells or the resistance of one’s own body weight. Flexibility exercises or stretching may be part of the classes, borrowing elements

from yoga and Pilates. Although the boot camp class gets its name from military training drills, it’s not about being yelled at or receiv-ing negative reinforcement from instructors. Many people enjoy these classes because they allows participants to compete against one another, competition that many people feelencourages them to do their best.

It gave me the idea that I couldhelp thousands of the 5 million men and women suffering daily in Canada with theworst pain on earth to have less pain or no pain at all. Nick A. Jerch, President of BellLifestyle.<For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage #1 spared methe endless torture I suffered day and night with 3 bottles costing less than $100. PatLaughlin, Coldwater, ON. <Cancelled knee replacement. I was in pain andlimping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk,Porcupine Plain, SK. <At first I was skeptical. I gradually noticed an improvement.Then I took another brand. I was surprised having so much pain again. Eventually I

realized that I needed to re-order Bell. Found relief again. Marie Ciraulo, 72, Oakland, CA. <Many people onour website write: “Can walk again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15years can sleep at night” Rheumatoid arthritis in joints down 90%, same for my sister. Also guaranteed forsciatica. Hundreds of testimonials all with full names and towns. Shark bones/cartilage was a previously thrownaway by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught for their cartilage. Don’t let any activist confuse you.

Exercise enthusiasts know that an eff ective workout does not end with your last rep or fi nal

second on the treadmill. What you do upon fi nishing a workout can go a long way toward aiding your recovery and making your exercise routine that much more eff ective.

During a workout, muscle and tissue can suff er some damage, and what men and women do after such workouts can determine whether their muscles recover in time for the next workout or they struggle to rebuild. The following are a handful of post-workout ac-tivities for athletes looking for safe ways to aid their body’s recovery.◗ Stretch. Stretching after a workout aids muscle recovery.

During a lengthy strength training workout, muscles contract quite often, leaving them in a shortened state at the end of your workout. If these muscles are not stretched once you complete your workout, you may suff er from stiff ness and soreness later in the day or the fol-lowing morning. Stretching helps the muscles return to their normal size, reducing the likelihood that you will suff er from stiff ness and soreness while simultaneously kickstarting the body’s recovery process.◗ Rehydrate your body. Many people lose a considerable amount of fl uid while exercising. Rehy-drate the body with water after a workout so you do not suff er from

symptoms of dehydration, which can include heart palpitations, muscle cramps and nausea. Avoid caff einated beverages, including coff ee and soda, after a workout, as caff eine promotes fl uid loss.◗ Eat soon after working out. Eat-ing high-quality protein soon after a workout aids muscle recovery and growth. A protein shake, some peanut butter spread on a brown rice cake or some low-fat yogurt can provide a potent helping of protein that helps the body recover and restore itself for your next workout.◗ Take time to rest between workouts. No matter how much energy you have after a workout, keep in mind that your body needs

time to rest and recover. Muscles typically need one to two full days to recover after a workout, which is why trainers and other exer-cise professionals advise against working the same muscle group two days in a row or twice in three days. Rest is a part of your body’s recovery process, so give your body at least 24 hours between workouts.◗ Get adequate sleep. As noted, muscle and tissue may suff er from slight tears during strength train-ing exercises. However, when you sleep your immune system goes to work repairing the body, including those small muscle and tissue tears that may have occurred during your workout.

Post-workout pointers to aid recovery

Did you know? Earbuds enable music lovers to enjoy their favorite tunes uninterrupted and without distracting oth-ers around them. People often use earbuds while commuting to work, at the gym and even at home. But according to hearing aid manufacturer Belltone, noise-induced hearing loss can occur by using ear-buds at a high volume for extended periods of time. Earbuds can put audio signals close to the inner ear, which is the equivalent of boosting it by nine decibels. Even moderately high volume can cause hearing loss. It’s important to keep the volume low and to take frequent breaks when using earbuds. Keep earbud volume below 60 per cent and wear them for no more than 60 minutes per day.

Q: I think I have dandelions in my front lawn– small yellow flowers that close in darkness and open in sun-light. Is there a remedy for getting rid of these without spending money on store bought sprays?

FlorenceVancouver

A: There are several organic ways of removing dandelions. None are quick and effortless but all can work if you apply time and patience.

The most basic one is digging them up. But you do need to remove all the root or they will shoot again. Dandeli-ons have an extremely long taproot.

One way of making this task easier is pouring ordinary household vinegar down each almost-vacant dandelion hole. The acetic acid of the vinegar will often kill the last little bit of dandelion root at the bottom of the hole.

A very strong vinegar known as ‘hor-ticultural vinegar is sold specifically for weed control. It needs to be used with much more caution than household vinegar. It’s more effective than house-hold vinegar. But it can burn skin and you sure wouldn’t want it in your eyes.

Some gardeners use boiling water as a weed-killer. It kills top growth imme-diately, but anything with a healthy, deep root will bounce back quickly. It’s not safe for anyone who’s elderly, or has balance problems or has pets or kids in their yard. But young, athletic and flat broke gardeners are some-times attracted to this method.

One way of making dandelion dig-ging easier is to buy a dandelion weed-er. This is a metal rod that’s forked at one end with the other end set in a handle. Some handles are short (very hard on the back). Others have a long handle and a metal ball welded behind the fork for strong leverage

Though this involves spending mon-ey, at least a dandelion weeder (unlike sprays) won’t need to be bought over and over.

But the very best way of preventing weeds is to nurture a healthy lawn by spreading compost, organic fertilizer and possibly a little lime in spring, re-seeding any bare patches and most of all setting your lawn mower to do a long cut.

A lawn cut to about 3” (6 or 7cm) high is tough competition for dandeli-ons. Dandelions need sun and struggle if they’re being shaded out.

Q: I have heard complaints that cro-cosmia produces a whole lot of seeds. Is it very bad? I never had crocosmia long enough to notice.

MaryBurnaby

A: The very hardy, small-flowered, orange crocosmia does spread rapidly and becomes quite invasive. It also produces ‘droppers’ that is corms which develop underneath the surface bulbs. As a result, it tends to reappear in the same spot after you thought you dug it out.

It’s quick to spread into thick leafy patches. At that point flowers become sparse and the whole congested clump should be divided.

The large-flowered yellow, red and orange-red mixes aren’t particularly invasive at least in this climate largely because many have been hybridized from tender South African species and may not always survive through winter.

The red ‘Lucifer’ crocosmia is hardy, tall and a glorious sight in bloom. It does spread, but not excessively.

The dishwasher is an unsung hero of many a kitchen. When

a dishwasher is working properly, it can make fast clean-up of scores of dishes, silverware and glasses.

As handy as dishwashers can be, sometimes they seem to lose their cleaning power. While inadequate cleaning may indicate the time has come to replace the dishwasher, many times all the appliance needs is a little maintenance and TLC.

Begin by investigating the interior of the dishwasher. Check for any visible food particles or debris, cleaning out any food traps at the bot-tom of the dishwasher. The mat-like item at the bottom is called the coarse filter and is meant to catch big parti-cles that could prevent your tub from draining. Don’t for-get to clean the rubber seals around the perimeter of the dishwasher where the door meets up with the tub of the dishwasher, as this is a prime location for debris to gather.

Running an empty dish-

washer with a clarifying rinse can help wash away any residue and improve per-formance. Plus, this mainte-nance task can remove odors and refresh the dishwasher. Put two cups of white vinegar in the bottom of the dish-washer so that it will distrib-ute through the appliance during the cleaning cycles. White vinegar will naturally break down old dishwash-er soap and scale buildup inside of the unit. Consider a short rinse afterward with some baking soda to remove odors and scour the interior of the appliance as well. Baking soda and vinegar are popular cleaning substances and are safe to use around food items.

For more intense clean-ing, create a bath of vinegar and water in your sink basin. Remove parts from the dishwasher, such as shelving and the utensil holder, so that they can soak in the solution.

Some dishwashers have removable spinning clean-ing arms. Take these off, if

possible, and let them soak to dislodge any residue that has clogged the water jets. Use a pipe cleaner or anoth-er flexible device to carefully remove any debris from the water holes. You may be amazed at what has built up in these small holes.

You also may need to inspect the drain line, which is often made of plastic and connected to the trap under the kitchen sink. On

occasion, this tube can get blocked and prevent the dishwasher from draining effectively.

In addition to these clean-ing techniques, using a rinse agent may help the dish-washer work better. Accord-ing to Jet Dry, the maker of a popular rinse agent, rinse agents help your dishwasher rinse away residue that caus-es spots and film on dishes and glasses.

Homeowners hoping to expand their homes are faced with a number of

choices. One of the first they will have to make is which direction to take their expansion. Homeown-ers can choose to expand horizon-tally, increasing the footprint of their homes, or vertically.

Professionals urge prospec-tive remodelers to consider the pros and cons to each expansion option, including which direction to build.

One of the first considerations is land space. Building horizontally will cut into yard space that you may have already earmarked for a pool, shed or another feature. Proximity to neighbors and the dimensions of your property will also help to determine if expand-ing horizontally is a good idea.

Building codes and neighbour-hood requirements also must be considered before making any renovations.

Some municipalities may have rules in place that govern ren-ovations. Add-ons may not be allowed to exceed certain height limits, nor may structures be built within a certain number of feet of property lines.

Homeowners who choose to

build upward will have to contend with work crews and other staff being in their homes. Raising the roof may require vacating the premises at a certain point.

Also, extensive renovation work will be needed on the lower level of the home, whether it’s to shore up the structure, clean up after the renovation or repair ceilings, drywall and other components where levels meet.

It may seem easier to expand outward, but this requires laying additional foundation for the new building structure.

Bringing in digging equipment and masons can be costly. When you build vertically, such founda-tion work may not be necessary if your home is structurally sound and can bear the weight of the addition.

Building out typically involves the least disruption to your life and the existing space. Home-owners should keep in mind that any renovation will require per-mits or variances.

In addition, if the project increases the value of the home, home insurance costs and prop-erty taxes may rise. Only after all considerations have been weighed should a project begin.

Thiessen fourth CJGA eventChilliwack golfer Mitchell Thiessen placed fourth in the boys 15-19 division at the Canadian Junior Golf Association 2015 (CJGA) last weekend at Royalwood Golf Club. His seven over score (76-75--151) was five strokes short of winner Charles Thompson from Delta.

UFV inks BahnmanA big name in Fraser Valley junior golf, Nathan Bahnman has signed with the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) Cascades golf team. The 17-year-old plays out of Cultus Lake and Ledgeview golf clubs. Bahnman, a Grade 12 stu-dent at Abbotsford Mennonite Educational Institute won two Canadian Junior Golf Association (CJGA) events last summer and played for Canada last year at the Dutch Junior Open, tying for 49th overall and sharing first for Can-ada in that U21 event. Bahnman said the UFV-hosted PING CCAA Golf National Championships this fall influenced his decision to join the local team. Coach Chris Bertram said the group is thrilled to have Bahnman join. “I have watched him develop as a player over the last few years, and I am confident he could have a big impact right away,” he said.

Cougs sweep doubleheaderThe Chilliwack Cougars 18U AAA baseball team defeated the Victoria Eagles in their double-header Sunday at Fairfield Park. The Cougars won 6-5 and 8-5 to

bring their record to 12 wins and 5 losses putting them third in the league. The Cougars will travel to play Cowichan Valley this Satur-day for two more games.

Local gymnasts competeThree Chilliwack athletes rep-resenting Twisters gymnastics club participated in the 2015 Westerns Canadian Gymnastics Championships on Team BC early in May in Okotoks, Alta. Marquita Morison took gold with the team, bronze on bars and eighth place all-around in the national open division. Her teammate Brienna Gaspar won team silver, was a vault finalist and placed 12th all-around in the national novice class. And in the pre-novice elite division, Mikhayla Rosenow cap-tured a team bronze, eighth on vault and 14th all-around.

Never too late for Late BloomersThe Monday league Late Bloom-ers team were presented with the Chillibowl Lanes 55-plus Seniors Bowling League and City Champs trophy the week before last at the season wrap-up banquet. Frank Bernard, Chuck Keighan, Dave Brown, Pat Webster and Monica Meewues all comprised the win-ning Bloomers crew.

Clapp finishes third at ClassicBrad Clapp’s 10-under-par over two rounds was enough for third place at the Vancouver Golf Tour (VGT) Chilliwack Classic last Thursday and Friday at the Chilliwack Golf Club. Clapp (67-67--134, $1,100) was edged out by Darren Wallace of Langley (68-65--133, $2,500) and Ryan Williams (64-69--133, $1,500). The points he earned kept the Chilliwack player in first place of the pros with 7,150, and he has won a total purse of $3,775—also top in the same division. Local colleague Chad McAdie shot six-under (70-68--138) at the Classic to place seventh and bank $600 and 1,000 points. Chilliwack’s Aaron Pauls (74-69--143) was crowned the Bushnell Low Amateur in the field, one shot under Connor McClellan (75-69--144), also of Chilliwack Golf Club.

BY RONDA PAYNE

Special to the Times

If there’s one thing Roy Orbison was known for, it was using his voice and his words to evoke emotions. In the ’60s, it was an

uncommon place to base a musical career, but Orbison, also known as the Big O, did it and is well remem-bered for it.

The Lonely, an Orbison tribute band, will come to the The HUB International Theatre at the Chilli-wack Cultural Centre Saturday, June 27 to share that love of Orbison’s legacy. Led by Mike Demers, the seven piece band will cover a broad range of Orbison tunes.

A few years ago, Demers was filling in for an ill singer at a New Year’s show when he began singing some Orbison tunes. He then added the music to his repertoire when playing summer events and before long, the Orbison tunes were being demanded.

“People started yelling for Orbison before I even started sing-ing,” Demers said.

With all of the tribute acts on the music scene, Demers could see the potential. Together with drummer, Benji Coey, they brought other

musicians into the mix. “I was hanging out with these

hipsters here in Victoria, all in their mid 30s, all love to dress in suits, and all love this ’60s stuff,” Demers noted. “This is the first band I’ve been in that they tell me how to dress.”

Well-dressed or not, they make beautiful music together, honouring Orbison.

“The turning point for me was when I found out he [Orbison] passed away at 52,” said Demers. “I’m 56, I thought, ‘man, we gotta get this guy’s stuff out there.’ It’s been pretty amazing.”

The group has found that Orbison music creates joy for those who come to listen and people will travel for a great Orbison show.

“After seeing [me perform] Orbison, people wanted to come up

and talk to me,” Demers said. “They wanted to tell me about when they saw him.”

At the June 27 show, concert-go-ers can expect classics like Dream Baby, The Great Pretender, Crying, and Only the Lonely.

The Lonely is made up of Demers, Coey, Jack Weyler Keys, Amber Bosma, Melanie Wittar, Stephan Bozenich, and Chris Lloyd.

“The thing about Orbison is, he was a song writer and that made him different,” Demers said. “He really understood how to carve himself a niche as a man singing about emotion, singing about loss.”

◗ Tickets are $32.50 (plus facility fee and service charges) available at Centre Box Office. Charge by phone at 604-391-7469 or online at www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca.

An unprecedented six Project Dance competitive danc-

ers have been either chosen as provincial rep-resentative or alternates to the province’s prestigious Performing Arts B.C. Pro-vincial Dance Festival.

This year’s event, to be held May 26-31 in Powell River, will see a formida-ble contingent from Proj-ect Dance in Chilliwack.

The following dancers will travel to Powell River as provincial representa-tives:◗ Austyn Lamont (12 yrs) - Jr. Stage Rep named at the Chilliwack Lions Music and Dance Festival.◗ Lily Maarhuis (12 yrs) - Jr. Stage Rep selected at the Surrey Dance Festival.◗ H a n n a h B a t e m a n (13 yrs) - Intermediate Stage Rep, named at the PacWest Dance Festival.◗ Emily Fox (17 yrs) - Senior Stage Rep chosen

from the Surrey Dance Festival.

Dancing as alternates are:◗ Kelly Blancas (12 yrs) - Jr. Stage named at the Sur-rrey Dance Festival, and ◗ Micaela Nyland (12 yrs) - Jr. Stage rep from the Chilliwack Festival.

Comprised of jazz, lyr-ical, tap and stage, the stage division will see these dancers compete against the province’s best at the annual event. Each regional festival sends its most promis-ing young artists to the annual Provincial Festi-val.

This crowning jewel completes an outstand-ing competition season, where Project Dance amassed the highest ever number of high-score trophies, awards and scholarships.

“It is an honour to have one provincial rep

named, but to have six of them from one studio headed to the Provin-cials is amazing,” said

Project Dance owner/director Amanda Quin-ton. “It’s a credit to all of these hard-working dance students and their teachers, and their fami-lies.

“These dancers work so hard to continue to improve their skills and they have an amazing work ethic.Balancing their training schedules with the demands of

schoolwork and compe-titions is tough, and they always show up ready to work hard.”

The provincial reps will return home just in time to perform in the Company

Show “Real Love” May 31, while Project Dance’s mini, recreational and first-lev-el competition year-end shows will take place June 20 and 21 at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre.

The Chilliwack Community Arts Council, in partnership with Rainforest Pottery, proudly

presents Raku In The Valley Pottery Workshop and Paint The Park this Saturday.

This fun-filled family event will be held at Thompson Park on Chilli-wack Lake Road.

Live music will be provided by Tractorgrease Cafe, barbecue hosted by the Chilliwack River Valley Fire Department, and more.

Like pottery? You’ll love Raku pot-tery. Based on an ancient Japanese technique, Raku pottery is fired in the open air in a special kiln. The interaction of fire, smoke, water and glazes produces unique effects rang-ing from subtle crackled or smoky patterns to a rich and glowing metal-lic sheen on pottery pieces.

Due to the process and fragility, Raku pottery is usually much more expensive than other types of pot-tery. This is a great opportunity to participate in making a piece of your own, at a fraction of the cost.

Pre-registration of $10 per pot can be done through the Chilliwack

Community Arts Council by phone (604-769-2787) or at The Art Room (#20-5725 Vedder Rd. in Chilliwack). Register today to avoid disappoint-ment as there is a limited number of pots available.

Don’t forget your shopping bags and check out the artisans in the park displays. Thompson Park is a beautiful setting for an outdoor market. A gently juried pop-up market will be on-site featuring a lovely selection of hand-made goods created by local artists and artisans. Artisans include jewellery designers, soap makers and even a Henna artist.

As Thompson Park is in the sce-nic arms of the mountain there is no WiFi so this market will be cash only. Interested in being a part of our pop-up market? Contact the Chilliwack Community Arts Council.

Capture the scenery and be in

awe with Paint The Park activity. Artists of all levels and back-grounds are invited to Paint the Park. Bring your paints, your brushes, your pens, your inks and find a nice place in the park to paint, draw or sculpt the surround-ings. Artists aged 12-plus are invit-ed to participate in this interactive portion of the day’s events. Pre-reg-istration is open; call 604-769-2787 or in person at the Art Room #20-5725 Vedder Rd.

Event day registration is limited and payment will only be received in cash. For more details such as check in time, fees, people’s choice voting, artwork purchase, etc., please visit chilliwackartscouncil.com.

◗ Raku In The Valley Pottery Work-shop & Paint The Park event take place on May 23 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Thompson Park on Chilli-wack Lake Road.

› 2015 Sport Hero AwardsJim McNeil hates sports . . . but he

loves people.And he has a hard time saying “no”

when asked to help out. It’s been a problem ever since he was a young lad in the air force. When things needed to be organized, well, Jim was always either going to be the committee . . . or a big part of it.

Born in a mining town in Scotland, Jim signed up for a three-year appren-ticeship program with the military when he was just 16 years old. Sports played a major role in his service and was compulsory. But just because he had to participate, didn’t mean he liked it.

“We did every sport imaginable,” he recalls. “And that’s why I hate sports.”

The military brought him around the world and when he left the service, he found himself in Canada working for a moving company. And, true to his nature, Jim found himself organizing events for the company, for whom he worked the next 20 years.

A short retirement was followed by Jim’s third career, this time selling real estate. A natural born salesman, Jim’s aptitude with people brought him much success. It also brought him a friendship that eventually led to a visit to the Chilliwack Lawn Bowling Club.

A friendly game between Jim and wife Gillian and the couple that brought them quickly turned into something much more.

“Within six months we were on the executive committee,” he says with a laugh.

Using his skills as a salesman and

vast contacts in the community, he set out to gain sponsorship for benches, 17 in total, for the club. Jim, like other club members, also helps maintain the

facility, which means cutting the grass.“It’s a team effort, really,” he says.

“We have 90-year-olds helping to cut the grass.”

With a dwindling membership, Jim’s main focus these days is attracting new players . . . hopefully, younger players.

“Everyone thinks it’s an old man’s sport, but it’s not,” Jim says. “When people get involved in it they get hooked.”

With a season pass going for just $160, it’s one of the more affordable sporting alternatives in town. Potential members are always welcome to book a drop-in session and all the equip-ment is provided. Club members will also explain the game, which Jim says isn’t very complicated at all.

“We’re trying everything we can to get new members,” he says. “It’s a great game for husbands and wives to play together.”

With a typical game clocking in at just over two hours, including a mid-match coffee or tea break, Jim says lawn bowling is quicker to complete than most sports and you get the ben-efit of a bit of exercise and a lot of fresh air. “It’s a continuous job to get people in,” he says. “but it’s worth it to keep the club going. There’s a lot of history here.”

2015 Community Sport Hero Jim McNeil.

To the Chilliwack Men’s Soccer League Kris Reddemann is lit-erally a lifesaver.

Ask anyone involved in local men’s rec soccer and it’s not an understate-ment to say it wouldn’t exist if not for Kris’s herculean efforts.

“Without Kris’s time and dedica-tion, the league would have likely folded with local soccer players forced to travel out of town to play in other Lower Mainland leagues,” says Kris’s Chilliwack Community Sport Hero nominator Justin DePodesta.

For the past 10 years, Kris has not only been the president but also manages the league’s finances, orga-nizes field bookings, ensures fields are playable and lined every week-end, co-ordinates referees, liaises with all the team captains and makes key decisions to keep the league running.

And because of these efforts, the rec league has doubled in size from five teams to 10 with more than 250 players enjoying recreational, yet competitive soccer.

“When I took over nobody else wanted to do it,” recalls Kris of the early days. “It was either I do it or there wouldn’t be a league.”

For someone who lives for soccer, that simply wasn’t an option.

“It gives me somewhere to play,” he says. “And, over the years, I’ve learned to delegate more, so the bur-den isn’t so great.”

Growing up in a sports-loving family, Kris says his sister was put into fastpitch, his brother in hockey and he got soccer. It was a great fit as

Kris excelled, playing virtually every position. He still plays on two soccer teams, mostly in net.

Combine Kris’s commitment to

running the league and playing on two teams with his duties as a father of two daughters who also play soc-cer and you start to wonder when the man has time to sleep. This year he’s coaching his youngest daughter’s team and is an assistant coach for his oldest daughter.

“In our house soccer is seven days a week,” he says.

And while Kris may be the face of men’s rec soccer in Chilliwack, he was also the face of Chiefs hockey for more than a decade—although you never really saw his face at all while he wore the giant “Chief Wannawin” suit. Kris was also the WHL Chilli-wack Bruins mascot “Bruiser” during their short stay in the city.

“Everything happened at the rink back in those days,” says Kris of his time as a mascot.

Amazingly, Kris even finds time to hold down a full-time job as a super-visor for a local drywalling company. But for him, it’s all just part of giving back to the sport and his community. Although, he wouldn’t mind step-ping back just a little.

“I’m trying to pawn off the presi-dent’s position to Dustin . . . but he says I’m not allowed to leave,” Kris says.

And who could blame Dustin.

› 2015 Sport Hero Awards

Before the cleats are donned, uniforms put on, skates laced, there are those unsung heroes

who work behind the scenes building pitchers’ mounds, painting lines and making ice.

Bill Lamb spent a lifetime both on the field playing sports at a high level and also behind the bench as a mentor and coach.

Now Bill can be quietly found every morning at least three days a week at the ball diamonds at Fairfield Park.

“I’m pretty quiet about this stuff,” Bill says of his work maintaining what some say is one of the finest baseball venues in British Columbia.

“Most of my days are down here in the morning, Monday, Wednesday and Friday I cut the infield. Then I’ve been doing new mounds every Tues-day.”

The retired 61-year-old estimates he puts in 12 to 15 hours a week on the ball diamonds, sometimes more.

“A mound takes me five hours to do.”The morning after every ball game,

Bill walks the edges of the grass to see what damage was done the night before.

City of Chilliwack Parks and Rec-reation Department staff cut the out-fields and drags the dirt on the infield, but it’s the infield grass and the all-im-portant details that Bill takes care of.

As he talks about his background in playing and coaching fastball and baseball, and now groundskeeping, he is on the phone, standing on a pitching

mound at Fairfield Park.“I’m taking a close look at the

mounds, looking for any dips where water sits in. That’s what I’m doing now, my little walk around.”

As the main man behind keeping up the grounds at the Fairfield Park ball diamonds, he is behind the scenes to many players, but to those

in the know in the baseball commu-nity, he’s the reason the fields are as good as they are.

“The beauty of such a park does not come without TLC,” say Chilliwack Minor Baseball Association (CMBA) president Brent Bogart. “A whole lot of that tender lovin’ care comes from one man—Mr. Bill Lamb.”

Bill has been around baseball all his life. He last appeared as a player coach in 2000, and he was involved in the design and creation of the Townsend Park sportsplex.

He started coaching his son Matt in T-ball in 2001 and he never looked back. He coached throughout the years and through various divisions,

even went on to a few provincial and western championships.

He never received specific training of any kind on groundskeeping, but he grew to know what needed to be done.

“I played a lot of ball so I knew what fields should be like,” he said.

Bill’s coaching career ended in 2013 when his son hit 19 and was too old for the program.

“But there was Bill, getting every-thing ready for the upcoming season,” Bogart said.

“I’ve been doing this for a long time, probably 15 years, more than that,” Bill said. “It’s nice now that I’m retired. I come down here and I golf in the afternoon. I like doing this stuff and it makes the fields look good.”

Like the icemaker in hockey or the line painter in soccer, or executives in any sport association, there are always volunteers behind the scenes doing the critical if unheralded things.

But some people do notice these people, and that’s how people like Lamb first get involved.

“I was kind of just brought up as a kid playing high level sports and I noticed all the coaches putting their time in,” he said. “Teachers or parents or coaching, they put a lot of time in. I picked up on that stuff”

The big question, of course, is what does his lawn look like at home.

“It’s pretty good,” he says. “But I think I’m more meticulous on the baseball field than I am at home.”

As a former professional soccer player, Graeme Slee knows the commitment it takes to

reach the highest levels of the game.Thankfully, for those with children

in Chilliwack FC, he’s taken the same approach to coaching and training.

In 1987, as a member of the Cal-gary Kickers, Slee’s professional soccer career reached its peak as his club won a Canadian Soccer League championship. Slee continued to play at the pro level during the late ‘80s.

Living in North Vancouver and working as a professional firefighter, Slee married and started a family. And while he enjoyed his time in North Van, Slee could see the local real estate market changing.

“I had a buddy here in Chilliwack and we could see that you could get triple the house for half the cost and so we made the move,” says Graeme.

Still wanting to play soccer, Graeme sought out Chilliwack’s top level and played for the Townsend Park Rangers, a team he says had “not a bad run” during his time. And while Graeme found the community of Chilliwack to his liking, he also discovered that the soccer commu-nity was just as inviting.

“For a soccer guy it was easy to get into a network,” he says.

Along with playing, Graeme also coached and started a skills devel-

opment academy during his early years in the city. When his academy closed, Graeme started coaching his then five-year-old son Keegan . . . and things “snowballed” from there.

Graeme also found himself coach-ing his daughter, Kia, something he discovered was unlike anything he’d

ever known in soccer.“It was a totally different world,”

he says. “They were awesome, but you can’t treat them like boys.”

In fact, if you ask Graeme for a defining moment in his coaching career he’ll tell you it involved the end of Kia’s soccer career and his time with the silver level soccer

team. “It was very emotional,” he says. “It was both a highlight and a low light because it was over.”

As Chilliwack FC’s longest run-ning staff coach, Graeme has been instrumental in improving the skill level of both players and coaches alike. Graeme gives a lot of credit to CFC’s technical director and 2010

Chilliwack Community Sport Hero Glenn Wilson for modernizing the association and finding ways to make it the best possible.

“I also think a lot of it has to do with Andrea Laycock,” he says. “I think she was as critical to our suc-cess as Glenn. For a small city we do very well.”

Under Graeme’s leadership the CFC has introduced game video analysis. And while it has meant an even heavier workload, Graeme calls it a game changer for the association.

“I like the mindset of the associa-tion when it comes to these things,” he says. “They are keen on trying new things. We have a great board and we are very lucky.”

Graeme also founded and oversees the CFC’s Annual Awards Night.

“Graeme is a true asset to Chilli-wack FC and should be recognized for his efforts to improve the game for Chilliwack’s youth, says his nom-inator and fellow Sport Hero (2007) Andrea Laycock.

And like most Sport Heroes, Graeme is quick to tell you that he didn’t do it alone. “It’s not just me,” he says. “I had lots of help along the way.”

A soccer-loving wife doesn’t hurt the cause either.

“It was important to both of us to be involved,” he says. “It takes a lot of time and it consumes our lives but it’s worth it. It’s in our DNA.”

Start talking curling with Maria Mailloux and you’ll notice her eyes light up and a smile instant-

ly crosses her face.To say she is passionate for the

sport would be an understatement. She flat out loves it and she should considering as she says, in her own emphatic words, “I volunteer a lot.”

And no one is more grateful than the Chilliwack Curling Club, especial-ly its younger players who have been taught the game by Maria.

Moving to Chilliwack from Mon-treal in 2007, Maria was looking for something to do and people to meet. Because she worked out of her home, flexible hours allowed her play in the women’s day league.

“I tried it and I liked it and I picked it up,” she says.

And so began her connection to the local club. Soon she found herself tak-ing coaching lessons and helping out with junior members which eventu-ally lead to a co-ordinator’s position. For the past five years she has been the junior program’s head coach.

Each September Maria brings her coaching skills to both novice and adult clinics, where folks get a chance to see if curling is for them.

“As easy as it looks, it’s not easy,” she says. “Although you can learn it in an hour if taught properly.”

And, if learners do like the sport, and want to continue getting better,

Maria also runs a “Getting Started League” that mixes both on-ice play and off-ice theory.

“People that come out of that league are pretty good curlers,” she says.

For Maria, watching the excitement

that first-time curling creates is not only priceless, but what keeps her wanting to help out. She particularly

likes it when schools bring their kids to the rink.

“That’s the most fun thing ever,” she says bubbling over with enthusiasm. “They come in not knowing anything and then they get a rock in the house and it’s just so much fun.”

Curling has provided Maria many wonderful moments, many of which involve a bit of levity, like the time a junior curler threw a rock down ice while wearing her glove.

“I can still remember seeing it go down the ice on top of the stone,” she says. “All the way to the other end.”

And if she’s not teaching or con-ducting clinics, you’ll find Maria curl-ing. She says her husband Roma is a “curling widow” but he does join her in the Friday Night Mixed League. Her favourite memory from the ever-pop-ular league is the time when a curler placed a diamond engagement ring on a rock and threw it down ice to an unsuspecting skip who he asked to marry him.

Unfortunately for the Chilliwack Curling Club, Maria is following her husband to Australia for the next cou-ple of years. She says she has already searched out curling opportunities down under, but isn’t finding much.

But she will return, she promises, and when she does she hopes it is to a new Chilliwack Curling Club, some-thing city council has earmarked funding for in 2018.

An infectious enthusiasm for

the game of curling

Many coaches are former players who still long to be near the game they once

excelled in.For some, getting over the hur-

dle of not being a player anymore lessens the passion. This was never the case for Mike Derksen who fond-ly remembers his playing days as an elite football running back, but says coaching was truly what he was meant to do.

“When I played I enjoyed the game,” he says, “but I actually enjoy coaching more than playing. The game just clicked better as a coach. I love this.”

A devastating knee injury sus-tained during a football camp at the University of Washington ended his playing days and dreams of gridiron glory. And while he tried other sports after a lengthy rehabilitation for his wrecked knee, he came back to the game that helped define him as a young man.

Mike re-entered football as a high school coach with the Rick Hansen Hurricanes. It was a fresh start on an epic journey that would eventually lead him to Chilliwack.

“I didn’t realize how much I enjoyed the game until my playing days were over,” he says. “I wanted to give back like my head coach had given back. He was my mentor.”

Mike knows the influence a good coach can have on a student athlete and he credits the coaches he had during his high school years for

keeping him in school.Mike has coached his way up

the ranks of the Chilliwack Minor Football Association and is currently head coach of the midget team. Mike

also serves on the league’s board of directors as vice-president. In addi-tion, Mike is a Level 3 Certified Foot-ball Coach as well as being a Football BC Certified Coaches Evaluator. It’s

this commitment and dedication to bringing out the best in players that led Mike to launching the Red Zone Academy in 2010.

Working with each individual posi-

tion separately, Red Zone members get high-level, sport-specific training that creates greater strength and mobility.

“Our kids are faster, stronger and in better shape is what parents tell me,” Mike says. “They can see the difference.”

And Mike’s commitment to the players doesn’t stop there. He also works with local high schools to make sure players have the right academic courses to enrol them into university programs.

“He works hand in hand with the student and the school making sure the students have the best opportu-nity waiting for them once they grad-uate,” says Mike’s wife Jodi.

And Mike is quick to give a lot of credit to his wife for her support over the years.

“She’s honestly my biggest fan,” he says. “I couldn’t ask for anything more from her.”

Mike has also been fortunate enough to have passed on his love and genes for football to son Chris, a highly recruited 17-year-old offen-sive lineman who stands six-foot-three and weighs 330 pounds and plays on the midget team.

“It’s been fun and I’ve been fortu-nate,” Mike says.

And this season he’s looking for the ultimate payoff for many years with the same group of players.

“I would like to get them their title,” he says. “I think this year is their best opportunity.”

Sport Hero hall of famers



Kathie MacDonald has fond memories of training with her swim team in Vancouver back

in 1956.Former Canadian Olympic coach

Percy Norman would walk alongside the pool yelling at Kathie and her teammates, “Have a good time. But do your best!”

It’s a memory that has stayed with the 76-year-old and influenced her coaching and leadership for the past eight years at the Special Olympics Chilliwack.

“It reminds you that [sports] are supposed to be fun, it’s not supposed to be dead serious,” says Kathie. “It’s supposed to make people smile and make people relax.”

That’s something she has tried to pass on to the athletes in her tire-less volunteer role at the Chilliwack branch of Special Olympics British Columbia (SOBC).

In her time at the local SOBC, Kathie has been the volunteer and program co-ordinator, a coach, and a member of the executive committee.

“She always worked with the best interests of all athletes in mind, ensur-ing that programs ran smoothly,” says Valerie Monty, co-local co-ordinator of the organization in her Sports Hero nomination for MacDonald.

“She played a key role in building the strong organization we have today.”

Monty added that no matter how

full Kathie’s plate was she would always take on more if it could help SOBC Chilliwack.

And to say Kathie’s plate is full is an understatement.

The driving force behind her orig-inal involvement in the program is

Kathie’s grandson Tyrone, who is intellectually disabled himself.

When Tyrone’s parents were unable to care for him as a baby, Kathie and her husband took on the role of rais-ing their grandson.

After moving to Chilliwack from the

Interior, Kathie got involved with the SOBC branch because they wanted to keep Tyrone active.

But now an illness in their family has forced yet another caretaker role on Kathie, meaning she had to take a break from volunteering.

It became too much to balance both family and the other responsibil-ities she had taken on.

As an indication of how much she had been doing at the Chilliwack program, Kathie’s former position was split into four separate jobs after she left.

“She has continued to make herself available even in ‘retirement’ to help out or share her knowledge with those learning the ropes,” Monty says.

And Kathie can’t wait to get back to it again when her other responsibili-ties lessen.

From her eight years at the Special Olympics, she doesn’t cite a specific moment that has her returning to help.

Instead, it’s an unabating “feeling inside of warmth” that has Kathie hooked. Watching the athletes devel-op athletically and socially over their time with the organization is all the reward the former banker needs.

Kathie says she gives her time because it’s important to see the Spe-cial Olympics athletes happy and to achieve the goal that they’ve set out for themselves, not one that’s been pushed on them.

“It’s not what the coach wants or what the parent wants, it’s got to be the person themself,” Kathie says.

While she’s passing on coach Nor-man’s advice from her own youth, Sport Hero Kathie MacDonald is also living it, having a good time but doing her best.

Summer at the Heron ReserveSpending time outside in nature is good for the whole family. At the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve, you can wander the trails with children of all ages. Children will enjoy climbing the tower, sneaking into a bird blind to catch a glimpse of local animals, or spotting frogs along the edges of the waterways. Watch the website for free programs this summer including our Family Pond Prowl, Twilight Walk, and Open House. Stop by the Rotary Interpretive Centre to see the displays. The volunteers on duty will tell you all about the site and offer you a map. Research has shown that being out in nature is important to the healthy development of children. Drop by the Heron Reserve and enjoy exploring this summer. www.chilliwackblueheron.com

We offer the following programs in a safe, secure and fun environment for

children to grow and develop
