SUPPLY & DEMANDLong considered a hidden gem, Chilliwack homes

are being snatched up like never before

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON

[email protected]

The evidence is growing day by day: Peo-ple are coming to Chilliwack.

Last month’s home sales in the Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board (CADREB) area made for the hottest February since they started keeping records.

There were 283 home sales last month, a 42 per cent increase over last year. Those sales were worth $98 million, a 54 per cent increase over February 2015.

With a strong economy in B.C., consumer confidence high in the region and stagger-ing house prices in Metro Vancouver, an increasing move east for some is inevitable, and CADREB expects the housing market to remain “brisk” in Chilliwack in the coming months.

Data from one truck rental company adds to the evidence, showing year-over-year in-migration trends on the rise locally.

U-Haul named Chilliwack the number two growth city in Canada for 2015, one spot ahead of Victoria and one behind Toronto.

That’s based on the net gain of incoming one-way U-Haul truck rentals versus outgo-ing rentals. Last year 55.7 per cent of truck rental customers came into the city, a 26 per cent increase over the same period last year.

“It’s no surprise that people from across B.C. and Canada are discovering what a great community Chilliwack is to live, work and play,” Mayor Sharon Gaetz said in a U-Haul press release. “With housing prices on the rise in the Lower Mainland, more people are starting to look outside the big city and are finding a hidden gem in Chilliwack.”

In February, CADREB reported strong sales in all categories of homes but particu-larly single family homes, at 163 sales.

And while all this activity will inevitably lead to some increase in home prices, it still

Arrest made in YarrowmurderClay Warkentin facing fi rst degree chargeBY PAUL J. HENDERSON

[email protected]

Clayton Warkentin looked sullen, tired, defeated even, at his first appearance in Chilliwack court

Monday morning facing first degree murder charges in connection with the Feb. 24 death of a woman thought to be his mother.

The 19-year-old wore a black, long-sleeve shirt in the prisoner’s box, the word “Family” tattooed on the left side of his neck. He made no eye contact with the group of approximately 10 people who were in the courtroom for his appearance.

Warkentin was arrested without incident on March 4 and charged with the death of a 51-year-old Chilliwack woman who is yet to be named.

A spokesperson for the RCMP’s Inte-grated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) said the suspect and the vic-tim knew each other, and the incident appears to be domestic in nature, how-ever, no new information will be released since the matter is before the courts.

Individuals familiar with the family and the incident have been posting on social media that the victim was his mother.

Suspicious barrels, a blind dog and rotting dairy products have made for a cross-border mystery for a family in the

Columbia Valley.Yolanda Versterre and Brian

Patterson run an organic vegetable farm on Henderson Road right next to the border with Washington State.

The couple have two dogs, Tamra and Chief. Late last summer as they were in Vancouver one weekend at farmers markets, they got a call from Yolanda’s daughter, Rose.

“She said Tamra took off, she went looking and couldn’t find her,” Yolanda said.

The next day, Rose walked along the road adjacent to the Cana-da-U.S. border across which are a number of farm properties, some with better fences than others. Finally, an older couple from the U.S. side responded to Rose and asked if she was missing a big, blonde dog.

“The lady said ‘She’s just back here, she had a rough night and got into some stuff, we’ve just been watching over her,’” Yolanda said.

When they finally did get Tamra back, the dog was covered in a clear, oily substance with a distinct odour. The dog had blisters inside her mouth, her kidney and liver were damaged, according to blood tests, and she was nearly, if not complete-ly, blind.

And that smell. It was something they’ve smelled before on certain evenings in the summer, when the weather is just right.

“We always thought something was not right because it’s such an odd smell,” Yolanda said.

About 200 metres up the road from their farm, Shalefield Organic Gardens, the fencing along the border deteriorates to the point that there are several openings big enough for a person to walk through.

And visible on one property are dozens of 200-litre barrels stacked on pallets, most wrapped in plastic.

What toxic substance bad enough to blind a dog is stored in those bar-

rels? Apparently, it’s ice cream.Labels on the barrels say “milk”

and “inedible” and there is a com-pany name: Denali Ingredients, a Wisconsin-based commercial man-ufacturer of ice cream ingredients.

“He’s using left-over ingredients from ice cream making and uses it to feed pigs.”

That’s according to Jeff Hegedus, environmental health supervisor in the Whatcom County Health Department, who received a com-plaint about the farm in 2013 and investigated.

“It’s not hazardous waste or industrial chemicals or solvents or anything.”

Still, Hegedus told the Times he was sympathetic about what happened, and concerned how the materials were being stored.

He thinks it’s unlikely the farmer is doing anything illegal or in vio-lation of any regulations, but he is “trying to keep an eye on him” to ensure there is no impact on groundwater, nuisance odours or

vector attraction.And Hegedus,

who is a chemical engineer, said if it’s in a concen-trated form, the ice cream ingredi-ents could cause the damage seen to Tamra.

“If it was a con-centrated food product that he is using as animal feed for his pigs, it is like soap, it can be highly irritating and cause blindness or sores,” he said.

Pigs eat rotting dairy ingredients? Chilliwack pig farmer Frank Neels said pigs will eat almost anything. Neels feeds his pigs at Emerald Val-ley Ranch all kinds of things: fruits,

vegetables, whey from cheese mak-ers, waste eggs, even brew mash from a local brewery.

But rotting ice cream ingredients?“More rotten the better,” he said.

“Seriously. Anything dairy and fer-mented is probably next in line to hazelnuts.”

But Yolanda and Brian say they don’t think there are pigs on the farm anymore. And if not, what is the land owner doing with the barrels?

Tamra and Chief are farm dogs that tend to run around, and in this location, sometimes over the border so it might be hard to fault a proper-ty owner in the U.S. for a trespassing Canadian dog.

Still, Yolanda says if this could happen to Tamra, there must be some sort of hazard on the property.

“If my dog can fall into it, what about kids, other animals, what about the water table?” Yolanda asks.

As for Tamra, she may not be able to see anymore but she’s on the mend, frisky and friendly and seem-ingly as happy as a dog should be.

And Yolanda says she’s staying closer to home now.

“I’m so glad she is still here because she is just an amazing dog.”

Records show the owner of the home where the homicide occurred on Yarrow Central Road was a wom-an with the last name Warkentin as of 2013. As of Sept. 15, 2015, the own-ership changed to a woman with the same first and middle name, but with a dif-ferent last name.

During the evening of Feb. 24 and early morning hours of Feb. 25, Chilliwack RCMP attended a residence in Yarrow after receiv-ing a request to check the well-being of a woman living at that location. The officer attending the scene located a wom-an who was deceased.

“Public safety was paramount in this investigation,” said IHIT media relations officer Sgt. Stephanie Ashton.

“This is a situation where investigators working in partnership with UFVRD RCMP were able to put the pieces together and in just over one week obtain the grounds to make an arrest.”

The physically fit Warkentin was active on social media, Ins-tagram and Facebook, up until January most-ly posting selfies of his upper body and his tattoos. In addition to the “Family” neck tattoo, Warkentin has “Love It Kill It” tat-tooed across his chest.

On Jan. 16, 2016, he posted a photo of himself on Ins-tagram with the words: “The single word ‘Family’ means a lot to me, your born into a family but over the years of your life you meet people

and start to care and trust them, they become more then just friends, but become your Family #loveitkillit #TYB #family #tribal #tribaltattoo.”

Ten days before that, on Jan. 6, he posted: “Everything was taken from me, my money my health and just who I am, I suffered from depres-sion and wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for the people I have in my life who made me happy, motivated me and got me back on my feet, to all of you I met from the beginning till now I say thank you, you all helped me in your own ways #loveitkillit #TYB.”

Connected to the same court file, Warkentin also faces a charge of fear of injury/damage to property from April 26, 2015, and a breach from Sept. 25. A trial on that breach is scheduled for March 22.

Warkentin is next due in court for a video appearance on March 15.

pales in comparison to the unafford-ability crisis in some communities in Metro Vancouver.

“Inventory, the number of local listings on the market, remains a challenging situation for buyers and their agents,” CADREB president Richard Admiraal said. “It’s good to see that sales are up and activity strong, and it is fair to say that with a robust market and limited inventory, prices are likely to continue to edge upward.”

Inventory of just over 1,000 list-ings is well below the 1,369 at the

same time last year. Still, Admiraal suggested that with 38 per cent of all residential sales under the $300,000 mark, there is still plenty of affordable housing in the mar-ket.

Local realtor Ian Hornby said that over the past year, he’s seen a surge in homebuyers leaving Metro Van-couver to snatch up hobby farms in Ryder Lake, in particular.

“We’ve seen more and more people coming out from North Vancouver, selling $3-million homes

and buying 10 acres (for $700,000 to $900,000),” Hornby said in an article in the Province.

“More people coming out from Cloverdale, a lot of people from New Westminster, Vancouver, selling old houses (and) moving out here, buying a small acreage with a bigger, newer, nicer house, a new car and putting money in the bank.”

Hornby estimates half those buy-ing in the community come from Metro Vancouver.

As horror and disgust is expressed across the country and beyond at the now-fa-

mous video of cows being violently abused by young men at a local dairy farm—the largest in Canada—there are those keen to defend not only the industry but the farm owners them-selves.

Chilliwack Cattle Sales, the Kooy-man brothers who own the farm, and seven employees face a total of 20 animal cruelty charges in connec-tion with the undercover video shot in 2014 by Los Angeles-based animal rights group Mercy for Animals.

“The video of the egregious and sadistic cruelty at this Chilliwack dairy farm speaks for itself,” Mercy for Animals general counsel Vandha-na Bala told the Times last week.

The video is hard to watch. Ani-mals are clearly suffering. The actions are impossible to defend.

But Danica Webster created a Facebook group soon after the story broke about the Mercy for Animals video nearly two years ago.

“This page is in Support of Chilli-wack Cattle,” says the brief “about” description. “We do not support abuse, but we do support the dairy industry.”

The Facebook page received more than 1,000 likes then lay dormant after a post on June 21, 2014 until the story broke last week about the charges against the employees and company directors.

Anger in search of a target, Web-ster’s Facebook page did just fine.

From the Facebook account Slovenska Kocka, apparently from Nanaimo: “You. Maggots. Animal abusers!!! You really. Should get what you deserve!!!! Be. Beat you up. To die!!! And after. Pick you with the tractors by you neck.”

Look past the punctuation and grammar, real anger not directed at the company or the employees, but at Webster who says she has no direct contact with Chilliwack Cattle Sales.

And more. Kristie Dixon Mann from Osceola Mills, Pennsylvania wrote: “Shane [sic] on you people there is a place in hell for people like you and remember karma is a bitch and she will find each and every one of you if someone don’t already…”

And from even further afield, Peter Andreassen who appears to be in Denmark wrote: “May you burn in hell, you Bastards!!!!”

Those are just the ones suitable for print.

“The page was bombarded and I tried to get them off as soon as pos-sible,” Webster told the Times of the angry comments she received after charges were laid. “Anything vul-gar or threatening was removed as quickly as possible.”

So why spend time defending or supporting a so-called factory farm you are unaffiliated to? Webster answered that question in a post on the page on March 4.

“I don’t think the entire company should suffer for this,” she wrote in part. “The company rectified their mistake when they immediately fired the employees responsible, they set up cameras so that they could be more aware of what was going on inside their doors, they cooperated ful-ly with the SPCA and had multiple vets out to inspect their animals. CCS made the neces-sary steps to make sure something like this wouldn’t happen again. I commend them for taking those steps perhaps if they didn’t, I would have a different view but what more do we want from them?”

For its part, the B.C. Dairy Associ-ation (BCDA) responded both back in 2014 when the incident happened but also last week as charges were laid. And the BCDA has tried to dis-tance itself from Chilliwack Cattle Sales.

“Chilliwack Cattle Sales had over 3,000 cows on their farm at the time of the incident, it’s important to understand that the average num-ber of cows on a dairy farm in British Columbia is about 130,” said a BCDA press release.

“Dairy farmers in this province are extremely passionate about what they do and have a dedication to high standards of animal care in

their operations.”A BCDA communications man-

ager went further last fall. The Times used a file photo from the September 2015 tour of Chilliwack Cattle Sales during the Chilliwack Agricultural Tour to go along with a story about dairy farmers donating milk.

The message said in part: “Our farmers are slightly concerned that the article features a photo for the rotary parlour at Chilliwack Cattle Sales . . . and our producers have concerns that this positive article will be impacted by the negative photo.”

And while the company, its direc-tors and some employees face ani-mal cruelty charges, some have

been critical the charges are not criminal.

Elise Desaul-niers pointed out in a Huffington Post article from March 7 that indi-viduals have been sent to pr ison for animal abuse involving house-h o l d p e t s, y e t those behind the

cattle abuse face Prevention of Cru-elty to Animal Act and Wildlife Act charges rather than criminal ones.

“If the victims had been cats or dogs, there is no doubt that crimi-nal charges would have been laid,” Desaulniers wrote.

Whatever the outcome of the charges faced by the employees and owners of Chilliwack Cattle Sales, the BCDA says the incident has spurred changes and strengthened measures to ensure proper animal care on B.C. dairy farms.

“Our industry has consistently taken this issue very seriously and we’ve taken strong steps internally and with our external stakeholder groups,” the BCDA says.

The first court appearance for the employees and directors of the com-pany is in Chilliwack court on April 12.

OUR TEAM

One year ago last month, the Supreme Court of Canada’s landmark Carter decision declared existing laws

against assisted suicide unconsti-tutional. While the Court’s decision legalizes assisted suicide, Parliament has been given a role to play in legislat-ing limits, conditions and safeguards on the practise of assisted suicide, within terms set by the Court.

When I bring up the issue of assisted suicide with my constituents, many are unaware that the law is changing and are alarmed that such a major change to Canadian society could have advanced so far without a comprehen-sive national conversation on the issue.

People are often surprised to learn that the Court did not reserve assisted suicide for those who are suffering from a terminal illness, but have instead opened the door to allowing individuals with a “grievous and irre-mediable medical condition” experi-encing “intolerable suffering” to access it. This has been described as the most permissive and least restrictive criteria for assisted suicide in the world.

The Council of Canadians with Dis-

abilities and the Canadian Association of Community Living has produced an excellent commentary on the Court’s decision, warning that persons with disabilities, including people with seri-ous mental and emotional disabilities, have been put at serious risk. They have also provided sobering statistics. “In Belgium, the number of Assisted Sui-cide deaths has increased an average of 47.77 per cent annually since 2003, and in the Netherlands it has increased 64.13 per cent since 1995, with no end in sight to this increase.” They have called on Parliament to “place crucial safeguards on the Court’s judgment to limit access to assisted suicide.” Unfortunately, a recently released Joint Parliamentary Committee Report on assisted suicide has gone the other way, suggesting that doctor-assisted suicide should even be made available to minor children and those struggling

with mental illnesses. As a result, Con-servative members on the committee have filed a dissenting report recom-mending stronger protections for the vulnerable.

While I have heard from hundreds of my constituents who oppose assisted suicide, I know that there are others who support the concept in principle and in certain circumstances. Having watched a number of family members and friends ranging in age from 13 to 85 die from cancer over the last few years, I understand the desire to ease the suffering of those we love, as much as possible. I believe that instead of embracing euthanasia as the only solution, the federal government should be doing more, in concert with the provinces, to promote and expand comprehensive palliative care services right across the country. We also need to continue the national conversation about improving our mental health system of care, which is currently fail-ing too many Canadians.

Rona Ambrose has promised Con-servative MPs a free vote on the gov-ernment’s legislation and I hope that all party leaders will follow suit. This

issue is a matter of conscience for me and for many Canadians.

I believe that any new law on assist-ed suicide must protect the most vulnerable in our society including minor children, the disabled, the elderly and those with mental illness and psychological suffering. Any new law must completely and fully protect the rights of medical professionals such as doctors, nurses, pharmacists and caregivers to opt out of providing assisted suicide services or referrals if their personal conscience, beliefs or ethics do not permit them to do so. In short, I believe the law must restrict access to assisted suicide to the great-est extent possible and if it does not, I will oppose it.

There is still time for Canadians to make their views known on what should be in the government’s bill. I look forward to hearing from many of you on this most important issue in the days and weeks ahead.

OUR VIEW

This week we once again recognized the women in our world on International Women’s Day.

Sure, we recognize them every day. They are our mothers, sisters, daughters, friends and colleagues.

So if we recognize them every day, do we still need an International Women’s Day?

Hasn’t it pretty much been accepted that we need equality between the sexes? That women deserve the same rights as the rest of us?

Yes. The answer to all those questions is yes.Granted, we’ve come a long way since the United

Nations invited their member states to proclaim March 8 as the official UN Day for Women’s Rights and World Peace in 1977, but women are still, throughout the world, well behind men in terms of their rights and privileges.

Even here in Canada, where we value women’s equality much more than some other places around the world, federal Status of Women critic Sheila Mal-comson issued a statement saying we need to do even better.

And she’s right.So, yes. International Women’s Day is still important.

Because in making the world a better place for women, we make the world a better place for everyone.

And don’t we all want to live in a better world?

Recognizing women’s rights

Editor:I can’t debate the “silent majori-

ty” issue in Seonaigh MacPherson’s letter dissing Paul Henderson and the Times, but I can correct some of her “facts” regarding the Kinder Morgan project.

Fact 1: I know of no evidence that diluted bitumen (“dilbit”) is more toxic than other crudes that the original pipeline first carried. It is arguably less toxic than the gasoline carried in that line for many years. She makes a point that dilbit is new to the pipeline since its original construction, but so is gasoline and several other prod-ucts now shipped in the original line—all passed requirements to be shipped. And no, don’t believe the claims that the bitumen diluent (mainly natural gas condensate) has high levels of benzene and that the composition of it is secret —check crude monitor.ca under “condensate”—a site open to the public.

Fact 2: The pipeline may go under school yards (not a pre-ferred option) but does not and will not go under schools or other buildings themselves. Pipelines in Canada are not run under build-ings except in company meter and pump stations, because they would block inspection access to the pipelines. When I ran pipelines, all cases of pipelines near schools were there because long after we built the pipelines, municipalities, despite our pro-tests, built public building near our lines. Then the complaints begin decades later by those who do not know, or perhaps do not care, about the history.

Fact 4: Yes, there were many pipeline failures in California during earthquakes; many of the earthquakes, contrary to Ms. Macpherson’s “facts,” were not mild. A 2008 study by the U.S. and California Geological Surveys states “There is a long record of oil and gas transmission pipeline failures in California earthquakes due to ground shaking and liq-uefaction. The large majority of these have been joint failures where the joints were construct-ed using oxy‐acetylene welds installed prior to approximately 1930. Pipelines constructed using electric arc welding (post‐1930) have performed much better.” For example, the 2002 Alaska quake (7.9 magnitude) badly shook the Trans Alaska crude oil pipeline but there were no leaks.

Need to safeguard our farm landEditor:

Mr. Darcey Kohuch, District of Kent, Re: Notice of Exclusion Applica-tion Regarding Land in the Agricul-tural Land Reserve served by 586611 B.C. Ltd of P.O. Box 355, Agassiz, BC V0M 1A0.

The Chilliwack Field Naturalists is a club founded in 1971, and is affiliated with BC-Nature (formerly the Federation of BC Naturalists), a province-wide organization of Naturalists Clubs. Our club mem-bership comprises people from the Chilliwack, Agassiz, Harrison Hot Springs, and Hope areas. Our motto, “To Know Nature And To Keep It Worth Knowing” reflects our deep interest and concern for nature and the environment of Canada and B.C. in general, and of the eastern Fraser Valley in particular.

It has come to our attention the publication of a notice of exclusion application for land in the Agricul-tural Land Reserve in the Feb. 25 edition of the Agassiz Harrison Observer, and we would like to make you aware of our concerns with this application.

Agricultural soils in the Fraser Valley are the most productive and profitable in Canada, due to their intrinsic properties, the climate of the area, and the reliable availability of water for irrigation. The agricul-tural area of the Fraser Valley com-prises 110,000 hectares of fertile and highly productive agricultural soils stretching throughout the Fraser Val-ley from Delta to Hope. These soils generate nearly $2 billion in farm receipts annually which is 4.5 per cent of Canada’s farm gate receipts, on just 0.2 per cent the farmland (Statistics Canada, 2011 Census of Agriculture).

In spite of the economic success of agriculture in the Fraser Valley, the sector is present only because agri-cultural soils have been protected from alternate uses by being placed in the Agriculture Land Reserve (ALR). Indeed in the views of many experts, without the protection of the ALR and the legislation that governs it, irreversible urban sprawl and

development would have consumed the vast majority of valuable agricul-tural land (Kim Sutherland. 2015. The land that feeds us: the value of farm-land in the Fraser Valley. Footprint Press Issue), and the Fraser Valley would be covered by urban sprawl similar to the Los Angeles, CA area.

British Columbians value farm-land highly, indicating that the value of local farm production, green space, wildlife habitat, and other ecological services provided by these lands far exceed the value of what they produce every year. Indeed, a study conducted in 2009 (M Robbins, N. Olewiler and M Robinson. 2009. An estimate of the public amenity benefits and ecolog-ical goods provided by farmland in Metro Vancouver. Available from: www.fraserbasin.bc.ca/_Library/FVR/fvr_public_amentity_bene-fits_of_farmland_report_2009.pdf) concluded that while in 2006 the value of farm products produced by farmland in Metro Vancouver was $5,750/acre, 95 per cent of the households in Metro Vancouver valued the market value of goods produced and ecological services provided by these lands at $58,000/acre/year; tenfold the value of the land production alone. If this public value is preserved in perpetuity, to estimate a value similar to a market vale, it becomes $1.16 billion.

Climate change is the single largest factor affecting food security worldwide.

Although not much attention has been given to the effects of climate change on B.C.’s agriculture, it is like-ly that in the future our food crops will be affected, directly or indirectly, and in unpredictable ways by a number of biological, physical and socioeconomic factors. Presently, British Columbia is highly depen-dent on California for most of our fruits and vegetables.

However, California is suffering from a long-term drought that is likely to intensify as climate change evolves. These factors indicate that the security of our food supply may be at risk (A. Ostry, C. Miewald and R Beveridge. 2011. Climate change and food security in British Columbia. Pacific Institute for Climate Solu-tions. 34pp. Available from pics.uvic.ca/sites/default/files/uploads/pub-lications/Food%20Security_2011.pdf) unless, as a society, we strive to protect our farmland assets from use in irreversible non-agricultural use.

For the reasons we have pre-sented, we are requesting that you reject this application as it is nei-ther in the interest of the people of our communities, British Columbi-ans, nor Canadians, and it helps to erode the much needed safeguard of farmlands in B.C.

Fernando Selles, President Chilliwack Field Naturalists

› Faith Today

BY CRAIG BYERS

Keystone Church

Saturday I was enjoying a rare sunny day so I thought I’d go down to the river for a

walk on the Rotary trail. Wasn’t long before curiosity

got the best of me and I took one of the worn paths beaten down by the fishermen that lead to the water’s edge. I found myself a sweet little spot where I could listen to the water, watch the men with rod and reel, and allow the sunshine to work its charms.

It didn’t take long to realize the fishermen weren’t having much success. After one of them had packed up and started to head home for the day I asked if he’d had any luck to which he replied, “No, just walking in circles.”

Walking in circles. I can’t shake the grasp of his

statement. Life sure can feel like we exist to just walk through the same circumstances, same troubles, the same predictable schedules and routines. Tomor-row brings more of today. Walk-ing in circles held hostage by forces and events seemingly out of our control.

Gideon knew this kind of life. In Judges 6:13 He sarcastically asks the angel who has come to deliver God’s message to him, “If God really cares about me and my people why has all this stuff happened to us?” Understand Gideon was secretly threshing wheat in a winepress to hide what he was doing from his enemies as they would come to steal his harvest and livelihood if they discovered it. He was bitter, unable to live life freely as he desired and resented God for it. Round and round he went doing the same thing over and over again without much hope of ever enjoying the fruits of his labours. Where was God? Why had God abandoned him?

Deep within all of us is a desire, a drive, even a passion to experience new things, to meet new people and visit places we’ve never been. We desire to defy the odds and limitations others and life have put on us and become a successful some-body. Children are born with it . . . they won’t quit until they get what they want. Our human experience was never intended to be one where we settle for the status quo. That’s a learned

behaviour shaped by our disap-pointments and failures along with the shame they bring.

Just like in Gideon’s life, God cares about our quality of life and attempts to involve Himself even to the point of offering His inexhaustible resources to not only set us free from what troubles us but to truly bring a transformation to how we see ourselves and our fit in the world around us.

When we put our trust in Him He breaks the cycle of sin and shame, adopts us into His family and gives us a whole new iden-tity. In one place the Bible says “all the old stuff is gone and now everything has been made brand new.” Life and circumstance do not have to define you.

Gideon went from having a very low self-esteem, fearful and bitter towards God, to having a courageous heart in the face of insurmountable odds. With God’s help he led his people to a great deliverance and victory.

Maybe today you’re angry with God. Perhaps, like Gideon, you blame Him for your troubles. I can assure you that somehow or somewhere you’ve misun-derstood God by viewing Him through the lens of hurt, frustra-tion and disappointment. With Easter just around the corner why don’t you make a decision to attend a church service and discover or rediscover the hope that He gives all of His children.

You can have a hope that tomorrow will be different then today.

◗ Craig Byers is a pastor with Keystone Church.

The University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) is offering two health-focused events in Chil-

liwack on March 14.At noon, a panel of youth mental

health advocates will be discuss-ing current challenges and possible directions related to youth mental health in our communities. And run-ning all day is a health fair in the atri-um, presented by nursing students.

The panel discussion, part of the School of Health Sciences Dean’s Speaker Series, takes place from noon to 1 p.m. in the Aboriginal Gathering Place (A1457) at the UFV Chilliwack campus at Canada Edu-cation Park.

Youth mental health is an emerg-ing topic of concern to communities around the world. At the provincial level, it is estimated that 140,000 chil-dren and youth in British Columbia experience mental health disorders.

Selected from a diverse range of fields, organizations and areas in the Fraser Valley, the panelists will be: David Bayne, Karen Copeland, Tia Noble, Tasha Couture, Paul Enns and Trish Lewis.

The panel will be moderated by

Michael Gaetz, an associate profes-sor in the UFV kinesiology depart-ment. As moderator, Gaetz will draw upon his expertise in clinical neuro-physiology, stress and chronic dis-ease, and pathophysiology.

Admission for this event is free and open to the UFV community and the general public.

Running on the same day as the mental health panel is the annual Health Fair.

From tips for grandparents on how to support breastfeeding to the facts about “study drugs” for university students, this year’s Health Fair offers advice for the entire family.

Running 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on March 14, in the atrium of Building A on the Chilliwack campus, the fair is hosted by fourth-year UFV’s Bach-elor of Science in nursing students, continuing a tradition that spans nearly 15 years. Fairs traditionally operate once in the spring and fall, with students creating booths and

offering advice on approved health promotion topics.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity for people of all ages to ask our nursing students questions and learn about health-related resources in our com-munity,” says co-organizer and BSN assistant professor Kate McCulloch.

The fair has a longstanding his-tory of allowing students to prepare for relevant health promotion top-ics and deliver accurate, important information on a variety of health topics to a variety of ages.

This year’s topics include 13 dis-plays: stress and lifestyle manage-ment, healthy sleep habits, physical activity, screen time for young chil-dren, childhood mental health, healthy childhood weights, study drugs, mental wellness for university students, emergency preparedness, breastfeeding promotion, effects of UV rays/tanning booths, effects of smoking, and hypertension (high blood pressure).

Efficiently finishing a series that saw two overtime wins from the Chilliwack Chiefs, the local hockey

squad won their fourth game of the BCHL round one playoffs with a 5-1 win over the Coquitlam Express on Tuesday.

It was a resounding win, with the Chiefs keeping the Express off the scoreboard until posting four goals of their own.

With goals from Kale Kane, Jake Smith and Rylan Bechtel in the opening period, followed by one from Mark Esposito early in frame two, the Chiefs looked to be eager to finish the series early.

A goal by Coquitlam’s Austin McIlmur-ray ended that streak near the end of the second period, as he scored the last goal his team would see in 2015-16.

And Ryan Forbes was the lone scorer in the final 20 minutes, adding to his four game post-season stats.

The win gave Chiefs goalie Aidan Peli-no his fourth ‘W’ in the brief playoff run so far, earning him a goals against average of 1.69 and a save percentage of .931 in post-season play.

Tuesday’s win followed a much closer win for Chilliwack to put game three away at Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre the

night before.That contest had the Chiefs and Express

neck-and-neck through the game, both teams scoring a goal in the first period, two in the second frame and none in the final 20 minutes of regulation time.

It was Austin Adam’s OT goal that edged the Chiefs to a third victory, setting the team up for Tuesday’s series sweep.

Earlier, in the first two Chiefs-Express matchups at Prospera last Friday and Sat-urday, Chilliwack won 3-2 in OT and 9-1 respectively.

Jordan Kawaguchi’s two goals in the first game kept things tied while his team-mate Forbes scored the winning goal in OT.

In Saturday’s game, seven Chiefs shared the scoring duties: Jake Smith (2), Aaron O’Neill (2), Jeremy Germain, Vimal Suku-maran, Kale Kane, Kohen Olischefski, and Dennis Cholowski.

◗ Making short work of their division-al rival gives the Chiefs a rest before they face the winner of the parallel Mainland series, a matchup between the Wenatchee Wild and the Langley Rivermen. That race stands at 2-1 for Wenatchee with game four scheduled to be played in Langley Wednesday night as the Times goes to press.

Rookie of the YearAfter a second round of polling of the league’s head coaches the BCHL announced the winners of the BCHL’s five major individual awards, includ-ing Chilliwack’s Vimal Sukumaran for the Bruce Allison Memorial Trophy (Rookie of the Year).

RBC Cup campaignThe Chilliwack 2018 RBC Cup Bid Committee launched a social media campaign last week to spread the a message first sent by Mayor Sha-ron Gaetz the previous weekend. During a live interview on Star 98.3 Gaetz sent a tweet saying, “Hey @Hockey-Canada! We’re ready to host the #RBCCup. Please vote for #Chilli-wack! #CHWK2018.” Over 1,440 tweets were sent to Hockey Canada with a similar call-to-action. The message spread quickly reaching 235,655 Twitter accounts with more than one million Twitter impressions by

late last Sunday night. The committee has until late March to submit the final bid package to Hockey Canada for its consideration. Until then, the committee is soliciting expressions of support from local busi-nesses and organizations and gathering informa-tion to present Chilliwack as the best host city for the 2018 RBC Cup.

Hosting ShowcaseThe BCHL decided that the fifth Bauer BCHL Showcase will be held Sept. 22 to 25 at Pros-pera Centre. The league also announced the start date for the coming season (2016-17) will be Sept. 9, 2016. The season end date will be Feb. 26, 2017. Round one of the playoffs will start on March 3, 2017.

WHAT IS A CONTROLLED DEPTH PEEL™?

The Zo Controlled Depth Peel ™ is a medical strength peel that utilizes TCA (Trichloroacetia Acid 30%).This peel is applied to the surface of the skin which causes the superfi cial layer of the skin to peel off. This peel is great for uneven skin pigmentation, brown spots, age spots, melasma, rough or uneven skin texture, sun damage, acne scarring, skin tightening, fi ne line and wrinkles.A skin care program is implemented 6 weeks prior to the Peel to prepare the skin. This peel is not for the faint of heart and DOES require downtime at home for a few days, but the results are well worth the time.

› SportsEighth-place finish for GrizzliesThe G.W. Graham Grizzlies senior team placed eighth overall in the 2016 BC Secondary School Girls AA Basketball Championships at the Langley Events Centre (LEC) at the end of last week. After winning their opening game Wednesday morning 85-64 over Pacif-ic Christian, the Grizzlies struggled in the provincial tournament, going 0-3 in their last series of matchups. Thursday the Griz girls lost to overall tournament winners Duchess Park (70-55) before dropping their chance at a fifth or sixth place finish to Vernon (65-49) the following afternoon. And in the battle for seventh in the tourna-ment, GWG lost to Holy Cross 64-48 on Saturday. Deanna Tuchsherer earned an all-star team honourable mention for her play over the four days. As the Times goes to press the No. 1 ranked GWG senior boys team are scheduled to play their first game of the provin-cial tournament against No. 16 Prince Charles on Wednesday at LEC. That tournament runs until Saturday, March 12 (updated information is available at www.bchighschoolbasketballchampi-onships.com/2aboys).

Holden signs with UFVThe University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) Cascades basketball team signed G. W. Graham player Katherine Holden last week. The five-foot-nine-inch point guard from Chilliwack just finished leading her senior high school Grizzlies to their first provincial cham-pionships and also guided her team to a silver medal at the Fraser Valley zone championship, earning second team all-star honours, and picked up a play-

er of the game award versus Vernon at the B.C. tournament. Earlier this season, Holden earned all-star nods at the Seycove, Sa-Hali and G.W. Graham high school tournaments. She was named MVP of the Grizzlies senior girls basket-ball team in 2014-15, and showcased her multi-sport bona fides as MVP of Graham’s junior girls volleyball squad in 2013-14. She said she chose UFV “because of the chemistry I have with the coaches and some players already.”

Sartori voted to first all-star teamKayli Sartori of the women’s UFV squad was voted first team all-stars by Cana-da West on Monday, as the conference unveiled its all-star and all-rookie teams. After sitting out the 2014-15 season, Sartori rejoined the Cascades last fall and averaged 18.4 points per game to win the Canada West scor-ing title and finish fourth nationally in that department. She also ranked among the league leaders in rebound-ing (7.7 per game, 11th), assists (4.5 apg, fourth), blocks (1.5 bpg, fourth) and steals (2.3 spg, eighth). Sartori becomes the second player in team history to earn conference first team all-star recognition, following closely in the footsteps of Sarah Wierks (2014-15). It’s the second all-star award she’s earned as a Cascade—she was named to the CIS Final 8 All-Tournament team in 2014.

showtime If you goSimon Fraser University Pipe Band: March 20 at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. Tickets are $35 for adults, $32 for seniors and $30 for students. Call 604-391-SHOW(7469).

A triumphant musical and visual spectacle will capti-vate the Chilliwack Cultur-al Centre when the Simon

Fraser University Pipe Band comes to town on March 20.

This rare concert will showcase the astounding presence and musi-cal mastery of the six-time World Pipe Band Champions, and present a unique opportunity to witness the majesty of a truly-world class pipe band in action.

The SFU Pipe Band—founded in 1966—has proven to be a force of traditional Scottish music without compare. Aside from being six-time World Pipe Band Champions, the SFU Pipe Band was the very first ensemble from outside of the United Kingdom to win this prestigious award more than once, and have gone on to add many more remark-able feats to their list of accolades. From being the first pipe band to bring their rousing sounds to the prestigious Carnegie Hall to being the first also to take the champion-ship for both the World Pipe Band and the World Drum Corps in the same year, the SFU Pipe Band has proven their exceptional skill across the globe.

Taking to the stage in their unique

Simon Fraser University Pipe Band tartan, every performance by this spectacular band demonstrates the very pinnacle of musicianship, tradi-tion, and striking aesthetics. Crafting a rousing image of the highlands as they perform a range of medleys and traditional songs, the SFU Pipe Band’s incredible presence is only matched by their ability to bring the nostalgic music of Scotland to life. The sight and sound of these inspi-rational performers combines to

transport the audience to Scotland’s heather-coated mountains and roll-ing glens and creates an evocative atmosphere.

◗ The SFU Pipe Band perform at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on March 20. Tickets are $35 for adults, $32 for seniors, and $30 for students and are available at The Centre Box Office, visit www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca or call 604-391-SHOW(7469) for more information.

Your kids will be captivated when the wonderful and whimsical Won-derheads take them on an brilliant

adventure to The Middle of Everywhere at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on March 13.

Brimming with innovative, imaginative storytelling and a dream-like atmosphere of magic and excitement, The Middle of Everywhere will be a fantastic journey to the stars and back.

Created by the Wonderheads—the per-formers behind the poignant, touching, and fun Loon and Grim and Fischer—The Middle of Everywhere once again sees this quirky company tell a tall tale through the medium of wordless, physical theatre. With their signature oversized and super-expressive masks, the Won-derheads don’t need dialogue to pull the audience into their stories—these fantas-tic artists do it all with evocative expres-sion and an animated style of physical performance.

The kids will be in awe as the Won-derheads take to the stage, conjuring the most cosmic and captivating of stories before their eyes. This show follows the

adventures of two companions brought together by a curious twist of fate, who go on a thrilling and fun-filled quest through the universe. Penny—a whimsical girl who decides to run away from home, and Winston—a particular man with a peculiar set of particularities, are brought together at a bus stop, and then whisked away on a series of unbelievable escapades.

◗ The Wonderheads take off on a trip to The Middle of Everywhere at 2 p.m. on March 13. Tickets are $10 and are avail-able at The Centre Box Office, visit www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca or call 604-391-SHOW(7469) for more information.

The extraordinarily entertaining and fantastically funny comedy duo Peter n’ Chris will bring a

spine-tingling and side-splitting slice of uproarious fringe theatre to the Chilli-wack Cultural Centre when they unrav-el The Mystery of the Hungry Heart Motel on March 15 and 16.

With their cinematic and satirical comedy edge, the three-time Canadian Comedy Award winners Peter n’ Chris have been rampaging across the Cana-

dian Fringe scene since 2009—and the hysterical The Mystery of the Hungry Heart Motel will show you why. Win-ning multiple Pick of the Fringe, Best Comedy, and Best of the Fest Awards from the Victoria, Vancouver, and Winnipeg Fringe Festivals, this fantas-tic horror-parody takes the audience to the Hungry Heart Motel—a place where those that check in . . . don’t always check out.

The centre of a hair-raising mystery

and the home of a hilariously homicid-al manager, the Hungry Heart Motel is brimming with ghoulish thrills, ridic-ulous laughs, and over the top, mur-derous mayhem. The audience will be in hysterics as a night at the creepiest motel imaginable unfolds, with Peter n’ Chris’ electrifying chemistry mak-ing every moment a complete riot of physical, fast-paced comedy. Falling somewhere between slapstick Scoo-by Doo-style hilarity and Hardy Boys

whodunnit mystery (but with the vil-lain hiding in plain sight), the show is a total spoof of the murder-mystery style.

◗ The Mystery of the Hungry Heart Motel is revealed at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on March 15 and 16. Tickets are $25 and are available at The Centre Box Office, visit www.chil-liwackculturalcentre.ca or call 604-391-SHOW(7469) for more information. This show is appropriate for ages 13+
