Dawkins book denied distribution in schoolsBY GREG LAYCHAK

[email protected]

An educational charity orga-nization claims that its sub-mission of a textbook to the Chilliwack school district

was not fairly considered when it was denied entry into public school cir-culation last month.

In late February, Centre for Inquiry

Canada (CFIC) received a letter from Superintendent Evelyn Novak that rejected CFIC’s submission of The Magic of Reality, a textbook by Rich-ard Dawkins, for consideration to be distributed to Grade 5 students over

the March break.And in March, CFIC tried again to

get more clarity from the district but said explanation received was still insufficiently detailed, lacking infor-mation about how guidelines were

applied in the decision.Novak told the Times she denied

the book based on the board and administration guidelines as well as referring to the Ministry of Educa-tion’s selection processes.

Specifically, the Dawkins resource was noted to be biased and didn’t fit other guidelines the district currently considers significant considerations.

“What we’re trying to do with our resources is certainly include Cana-dian content and infuse our curricu-lum with First Nations perspectives and literature as we’re bringing in

When thieves stole Lau-ra Kew’s wheelchair on Monday, they stole the six-year-old girl’s

independence.“We just want our daughter to

have her legs back,” Laura’s mother Charlene told the Times.

“That wheelchair is her legs, her independence to be a kid.”

Laura has cerebral palsy and is unable to walk on her own. Her motorized wheelchair was in the back of a customized minivan in the driveway of the family’s Fairfield Island home.

And in the early hours of Monday morning someone stole the van. The Kews took to social media to ask for help with the recovery of the vehicle that was so much more important to the family than a regular car or van.

Then, later in the day Monday,

they got a hopeful call from police saying that the van was recovered. Laura’s dad Kevin rushed to the lot where it had been towed to and while he wasn’t allowed to examine it because police still had to take fin-gerprints, he saw inside.

“He just saw that it was totally destroyed inside,” Charlene said. “The roof was exposed, wiring was pulled out, there was mud in it and there was garbage everywhere.”

But most importantly, the $6,000 lift for her wheelchair—which was donated in part by another family who had lost a child—had been ripped out, damaged and thrown back in. And Laura’s custom-fit-ted wheelchair valued at between $12,000 and $14,000 was gone.

“Van was found... inside is DESTROYED... wheelchair gone! NO WORDS...” Charlene posted on her Facebook page.

Her mobility stolen by heartless thieves

“We just want our daughter to have

her legs back. That wheechair is

her legs, her independence to

be a kid.”- Charlene Kew

Most people have heard of the online sensation of TED talks, or watched a few vid-

eos from the growing library of over 1,900 “ideas worth spreading.”

Now local enthusiasts have a chance to catch an event without making a trip into the big city.

A T E D x C h i l l i w a c k e v e nt i s approved for February 2016, and it will be a local independent version of the more global parent TED confer-ence (now based in Vancouver).

“I’ve lived [in Chilliwack] for eight years and every time I do something here I discover something amaz-ing about this city,” said Raymond Cauchi, organizer of the conference.

“Part of what I’m passionate about is building community and connecting people together and breaking down barriers between people.”

TEDx is an excellent opportuni-ty to get people from all over the diverse makeup of Chilliwack in one place and expose them to new things they’ve never imagined before, said the 2014 mayoral candidate.

A former social service work instructor at Vancouver Career Col-lege, Cauchi was long familiar with the talks, using them to introduce lecture conversations and debates in

his classroom. And now he’s in charge of co-ordi-

nating a much bigger discussion in the community around the theme of “stories that empower us.”

“We’re looking for as diverse a list of speakers as possible,” Cauchi said. “I want First Nations speakers, I want young speakers, I want old speakers, I want speakers of faith, I want speak-ers who are science-based. We want it all because that’s what Chilliwack is.”

TEDx Chilliwack is approved by the TED organization and a licence

was granted to Cauchi, but the core group is still in the beginning stages of planning.

They will gather for their first meet-ing Thursday to start hashing out the details of the event such as solidify-ing a venue and getting the speaker list in motion.

For those who want to attend the conference, Cauchi said there will only be 100 seats at the first affair, which will be selected after interest-ed parties apply.

The tickets are free, but TED wants to ensure the socio-economic diver-sity of the audience, and attendees’ commitment to enacting action in the community after the show is over.

So applicants will be reviewed and considered for the limited seats.

But in the essence of sharing ideas,

the whole event will be webcast live for anyone with an internet connec-tion to see.

And Cauchi added that it’s only the premiere event that has such limited capacity, as imposed by TED. If it’s deemed successful, subsequent ver-sions will be open to as many seats as the organizers arrange.

“Ideally I hope Chilliwack loves it and we get to do it again and again,” Cauchi said.

◗ The TEDx Chilliwack Facebook page is up and running (search “TEDx Chilliwack” on Facebook), and the website will be live by the end of the week: tedxchilliwack.com. To recommend or apply as a speaker, email [email protected], or fill out the form on the website.

A battle of words that turned to a battle of lawyers has turned to a battle of videos.

Residents angry about the City of Chilliwack’s plan to raise the Young Road dike on Fairfield Island by one metre have posted a video in response to one made by city hall.

City council approved $780,000 in funding in February for the con-troversial project. The money is one third of $2.34 million to pay for the dike upgrade to be matched by pro-vincial and federal dollars.

Critics of the plan, which have included Couns. Chris Kloot and Ken Popove, say the money should be saved and an extension of the Wing Dyke (Cartmell Road) should even-tually be built to Chilliwack Moun-tain. That would also protect the three Sto:lo reserves left unprotected by the Young Road/Town Dyke plan.

The matter led more than 30 res-idents to threaten the city with a $2.8 million lawsuit if the work goes ahead. The city’s lawyer responded threatening anyone obstructing the work would be in violation of the Dike Maintenance Act.

The city also responded with a “Young Road Dyke Construction Update” web page that includes a project description, maps, FAQs and now a video.

That city video is narrated by Coun. Sam Waddington who speaks about the work on behalf of the city. Mayor Sharon Gaetz has declared a possible conflict because one of the leading opponents is her brother, Young Road resident Dave Hallett.

(Each of the six city councillors take two months turn serving as acting mayor in events such as this or illnesses on the part of Gaetz. As of May 1, the acting mayor will be Coun. Sue Attrill.)

In the video, Frank Van Nynatten from the city’s engineering depart-

ment says the dike work along the one kilometre stretch of Young Road will protect 40,000 residents, the hos-pital and the highway, among other things.

“We scream bulls--t,” Hallett says. “I just think the public is being mis-lead. For them to put untruths in there is just wrong and we know they are untruths and we have documents to back that up.”

Hallett and Young Road resident Rene Crawshaw spoke to the Times Tuesday and insisted that Wadding-ton has been mislead by city staff and that the Young Road project makes no sense.

Crawshaw made a video and post-ed it Tuesday in response to the city’s video. In it, he poses with a piece of

wood on Young Road showing how high one metre is, illustrating just how steep some driveways along the road will become.

And while the damage to proper-ty values is behind the lawsuit, the sticking point for Crawshaw and Hallett is why the city is focused on raising Young Road (the East Dyke) when Cartmell Road (the Wing Dyke) heading west into Island 22 has already been raised to the new provincial standards.

The two say also that it makes no sense to argue raising one kilometre of Young Road protects the entire city since in the event of water high-er than 1948, either the Hope Slough would be inundated or the not-up-to-provincial-standard Town Dyke

along Beverley would be.Other parts of the video that bother

Hallett and Crawshaw include when Van Nynatten from the city’s engi-neering department discusses the famous flood of 1894 that left down-town Chilliwack under water.

“It was almost fear-mongering,” Crawshaw said. “In the 1894 flood there were no dikes.”

Waddington says those who sup-port the all-or-none diking philoso-phy are misguided and the city needs to tackle projects as they become economically feasible.

Work has begun on the Young Road dike upgrade removing trees and brush along the roadway, and substantive construction is expected to begin in May.

For most of her life, Laura hasn’t known independence. She was pushed around in a stroll-er or toted in a backpack carrier until last fall. But in October, as she was ready to start Kindergarten at Rosedale Traditional Community School, she got her “legs.” The family didn’t qualify for funding from a charity for a new chair but they did get one through a recycled wheel-chair program.

This meant for the first time ever Laura could do things for herself on the playground, in the class-room and at home.

“She is a determined kid, the independence has been amazing for her,” Charlene said.

In addition to not being able to walk she also can’t speak or, as Charlene puts it, “Laura speaks in her own way.” Beyond that she is just like any other kid in her Kindergarten class. And on Monday night, Charlene said the little girl seemed to grasp what happened and while she can’t articulate it, she was crying.

“But she’s amazing,” Charlene added. “She

is happy all the time. As soon as I assured her that we would find a way to have it back then she just smiled.”

Stressed and anxious about the whole incident, Charlene has remarkably

few harsh words to say to whoever stole the wheel-chair. More concern, sym-pathy even.

“Obviously the people that did it are hurting inside,” she said. “That’s just what people do—

hurting people do hurtful things.”

If she could say some-thing directly to the person who stole the wheelchair?

“Get help.”As for Laura’s father

Kevin, he said he isn’t concerned about the van now that it was found and he doesn’t really want too much drama.

“It’s about the wheel-chair and my daughter being mobile,” Kevin said.

“I just want that thing to be found.”

◗ Anyone with informa-tion about the stolen wheelchair should contact the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-492-4611 or, to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-847 (TIPS).

If you think you’ve got a lot of trash at the curb on garbage day, noth-ing compares to what local devel-

opers the Gore brothers removed from the home of a local hoarder.

After the intensive cleanup of just the main floor of the now infamous Mayfair Avenue home was complete, the brothers had filled six 40-yard dumpsters.

“It’s still pretty nasty in the base-ment,” Mark Gore says while chatting about the progress at the house.

The home on Mayfair has long been a target of city hall as both an unsightly premises but also a major fire hazard.

Ninety-three-year-old Pauline Jollymour and her son Gary lived in the house for 21 years, amassing near unimaginable piles of garbage, unopened products in plastic bags, all mixed in with personal belongings.

The Gores—Mark, Tony and Lee—came to the rescue with a

house-swapping arrangement and a new start for Pauline and Gary.

A psychiatrist and a counsellor from Vancouver volunteered their time and came out on Sunday to spend the day with the two.

Mark and Tony say Fraser Health, who had refused to even go into the Mayfair house for health reasons, is now “stepping up to the plate,” and providing help to both Pauline and Gary in the new home. The City of Chilliwack also stepped up by waiving tipping fees for all the garbage.

That’s not to say there haven’t been stumbling blocks along the way. Both Pauline and Gary were somewhat upset when they saw the cleaned out version of their rat-infested home.

“Tony and I brought Pauline and Gary to the house,” Mark says. “They were a little rattled but Gary seems OK with it. They both seem OK with it.”

There have been setbacks includ-ing at least four break-ins to the house by what Mark and Tony refer to as a “crackhead.”

The latest was Monday morning

when Tony actually drove over to the house at 2:30 a.m. to see if by chance he could catch someone in the act.

“Sure enough, there was somebody in the basement rummaging around,” Tony says.

He called police who he says took 10 minutes to arrive, and they caught the would-be thief in the dining room.

What happened next baffled Tony as he waited outside.

“The cop comes out and says ‘We got his name and number and let him go.’ I said ‘Why did you let him go?’” Tony explains. “And the cop said I couldn’t prove that he opened the door.

“He jimmied open the door and he’s in the dining room and he had a garbage bag full of loot. But they let him go?”

While Pauline may have lost an impossible to quantify amount of money and personal possessions (she says a $3,000 engagement ring is missing) to the thefts, the Gores are moving forward hoping the two can move on with their lives.

Greg Laychak/TIMES

The Jollymour household piano was uncovered during the first day of cleaning by the Gore brothers in mid-March. See more photos of the clean up project online at www.chilliwacktimes.com.

“Jusus made us,” it said on the pave-ment in sidewalk chalk.

There are, I thought, at least three things wrong with that statement: spell-ing, liturgy and science.

Beyond the spelling mistake, the inaccuracy of the idea that Jesus was the Creator in Christianity, and the simple reality that no “one” created anyone, I wondered: Did your parents teach you that or did you learn it in school?

The chalk utterance was written a few years ago by a neighbour’s little girl. At least I assumed it was her because it was in front of her house and I know she attends a local private school that, like all Chilliwack private schools, is Christian.

I personally don’t know what is taught at private schools let alone religious pri-vate schools, and I hope it’s obvious I jest in teasing about the accuracy of sidewalk chalk graffiti made by children. (She could have written “unicorns have never gotten along with dragons,” and I might have questioned her grasp on reality.)

But it was this chalk note that came to mind, for some reason, when I read the new Statistics Canada study that con-cluded that private school is no better than public school after all. Which is to say that private school kids aren’t getting a better education than public school

kids. They’re just smarter to begin with.“School resources and practices

accounted for little of the differences in academic outcomes,” was the conclu-sion of the study released this week.

Families of children in private school have more computers in the home, more books in the home, parents with higher levels of education and income levels 25 per cent higher than their pub-lic school counterparts.

Private school kids have more access to learning tools than public school kids before classes even begin.

If you can afford and are willing to pay $3,700 a year for your child to attend Grade 10 at Highroad Academy in Chilliwack, for example, you probably make more money and are already more focused on academic success than the average parent of a public school kid.

“Two factors consistently accounted for the differences in academic out-comes between public and private sector students: socio-economic char-

acteristics and peers,” the study found. In other words, private school kids are more successful because their parents and friends are already more successful.

I don’t think the Highroad Academies of the world have anything to fear as far as enrolment goes with a study like this for two reasons. Firstly, a sectarian education is absent from the public sys-tem and is likely a strong reason many Chilliwack parents send their kids to places like Highroad or Unity Christian. Secondly, academic outcomes at private school may be no better when variables are accounted for but they aren’t worse and at least these families can keep their kids near other kids from similar socio-economic backgrounds.

Academic outcomes may not be improved by attending private school but we all know economic incomes are improved, don’t we? The study’s con-clusion specifically points to this as an area of unanswered research because the Grade 10 students weren’t followed beyond their mid-20s.

But there is a hint: “A social network of gainfully employed friends may improve an individual’s chances of securing a well-paying job.”

You think? If you have money and education and a good job or business

and your kids hang out with other kids in families with money and education and good jobs and businesses then the caste feeds on itself.

I’ve seen it first hand growing up with mostly upper middle class peers where one friend’s sibling or uncle or father would give some of us part-time jobs, which could lead to further work and connectivity if we wanted it. A neighbour at a bank offers an entry level job to a neighbour’s kid, which leads to a career. A son takes over his dad’s business. A young man from a wealthy family has seed money and support to start a busi-ness and hires his friend. It’s no secret this is how the world works.

When you’re born on third base you never even have to swing the bat.

Most people who attend private schools probably won’t care that those schools do nothing to improve academic performance. That’s not why they’re there.

What this study has pointed out is what most of us anecdotally know: Hard work and education are great and all, but nepotism and cronyism are the best ways to get and stay ahead.

That little girl who wrote “Jusus made us” may have got it wrong but she’s got a leg up already.

Private school’s indirect benefit

OUR VIEW

Hey, Christy Clark. It appears you are missing a knife from your collection.

Sadly, we know where it is buried—deep between the shoulder blades of former Shuswap MLA George Abbott.

Abbott, who was previously the minister of aboriginal relations, was preparing to take over as the head of the B.C. Treaty Commission when Sophie Pierre completes her term April 1.

Suddenly, he gets a call from Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad, the very man who asked Abbott to take on the position six months ago, to say it was a no-go following a closed-door cabinet discussion.

“It’s not what I expected to hear,” said Abbott.Why the sudden change in direction from senior levels

of the provincial government?Even as he was kicked to the curb, Pierre expressed dis-

may and praised her one-time successor.“George Abbott is a man of integrity, intelligence and

extensive experience who would have benefitted the treaty process, First Nations and all British Columbians,” stated Pierre.

Both the federal government and First Nations had approved of Abbott’s appointment, so why the sudden flip-flop from the provincial cabinet?

Axing Abbott raises questions

Editor:My name is Al and I am Victor

Joe’s younger brother (Victor was one of the people highlighted in our “More than just a number” feature in the March 26, Chilliwack Times).

We are a blended family with six boys and two girls. I am the youngest at 45 years old. Our mother is going to be 75 years young this October.

First of all, it is good to see my brother is still OK and he chose his own path of drugs and alcohol. Vic-tor was sober for 20 years or more when he fell off the wagon. And our family did try to help him but he chose the addictions over the help.

He first lived in our grandparents’ two storey home by himself which he neglected and was evicted due to illegal activity. Then I personally drove him to his father’s home in Mt. Currie where he fought with is dad. He moved to his aunt’s and began to drink quite a bit.

The following summer he moved into our grand aunt’s home where he continued to drink and abused his welcome. From there he moved to our mother’s small rancher where she lived with her latest husband. He drank and abused drugs until my mother could not handle his actions any more. He then moved to our older sister’s home where she cares for her disabled adult son. And was told to leave after he broke her living room window in a drunken rage and almost got sister and family evicted.

We are a First Nations family and we do not turn our backs on any member of our family. But as adults,

we make our own choices and have to live with our decisions.

My mother was tremendously hurt by my brother’s words of our family not being there for him.

We wish the best for my brother and wish he will find the help he needs. And then come back to us.

Town Dyke is the one needing fixingEditor:

Of course everyone in Chilliwack wants flood protection, but the city’s claim that this one kilometre stretch of Young Road is the most vulner-able and will protect the hospital plus 40,000 residents, etc. is quite a stretch of the imagination.

Raising Young Road one metre puts it about two metres above Young Street bridge. If you stand on Hope River Road and imagine the

height of the water in Hope Slough at the level of your eyeballs it isn’t hard to conclude that all of Fairfield Island and Chilliwack will be under water at that point (you’ll be able to dock your boat along a nice new dry section of Young Road though).

The city will be quick to point out that the long-term plan is to build a flood gate for Hope Slough two metres higher than the Young Street bridge. Wonderful! Except now the water just goes around the flood gate at Berkeley Avenue and below and floods us out anyway over the Town Dyke.

Again, the city will be quick to point out that we also need to upgrade the Town Dyke as part of the long-term plan. By the way, the Town Dyke actually is the one that protects the hospital plus 40,000 residents, and has been flagged for decades as in need of upgrading.

So what’s the problem with starting at Young Road? Because it does abso-lutely nothing without completing the other two projects. The city is only doing it because it’s the quickest and easiest project to blow the allocated money on. They’ve been avoiding the difficult challenges of the Town Dyke for decades, plus all the controversy involved in protecting (or not) the three affected First Nations bands.

I don’t think there are any easy answers right now but somebody with some brains needs to sit down with all the government levels and think about this a bit longer instead of just plowing ahead and wasting our money.

AN URGENT REMINDER WHY WE SHOULD KEEP AND LOVE THE LORD’S DAY

THE CANADIAN LORD’S DAY ASSOCIATION

“This is the day which the Lord has made;we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24

The Lord’s Day is the property of Christ. He has marked one out of seven days exclusively as his own. On this day we must rest from our work.

One reason we set aside a day for rest is to refresh ourselves from our daily labours. More importantly, however, we should spend this day in public and private exercises of God’s worship to refresh ourseves spiritually.

We may not rob the hours of the Lord’s Day for business or pleasure. Keep HIS day holy as an institution of the Lord, and in doing so we will receive blessings beyond our expectations.

› Faith TodayBY MORRIS WATSON

Chilliwack Victory Church

This weekend is Easter and peo-ple everywhere will be getting ready to celebrate the resurrec-

tion of the Lord Jesus Christ whether they realize it or not.

Like all things faith based, Easter has its critics and there are those in the secular world who are trying to distance society from the influence that Christianity has had in the world. They love to point the accusing finger at the Crusades of the Middle Ages or abuses that have arisen in certain seg-ments of the faith. The first thing that must always be remembered in such cases is that, these things are the fail-ures of man and not God. Man doesn’t get it right every time and a few failures cannot nullify the positive affect that Christians have had on a global scale.

The list of successes would be long

and the initiatives powerful but we owe this to God and not ourselves. He is working through the imperfect to make the world a better place and the influence of Jesus certainly has done that. Easter is about the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus and this event is a foundational truth in the Christian faith and it is celebrated in the farthest corners of the world.

A lot of the world is confused about Easter though; they think that it’s about an egg laying bunny rabbit. They even have a song that goes with it, “Here comes Peter Cottontail, hoppin’ down the bunny trail, hippity hoppin’ Eas-ter’s on its way.” Somehow I’m not sure this is what God had in mind when

He watched mankind crucify His only begotten Son. I don’t think that He wanted the message of redemption for all mankind to be reduced to a fuzzy tailed rabbit that brings children eggs on Easter morning. Surely there was a greater plan than that.

Easter is not about a bunny, it’s not about coloured eggs and not about chocolate; Easter is about life. It’s about the possibility of everlasting life for all those that choose to believe in God’s redemptive plan. We recognize the day because of its significance and because of the possibilities that it holds. There are those who would have you believe that God doesn’t care about you and spends His days dreaming up ways to

inflict the earth with suffering. Then there are those who would have

you believe nothing at all. We can talk about all the things that the world needs today but the number one thing it needs is hope. Peter, the apostle and not the rabbit, wrote in (1 Pet. 1:3), “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”

Charles Spurgeon, a nineteenth cen-tury preacher once said that, “A man is saved by what he believes and not by what he does.” The apostle Paul clari-fied this to the Roman’s when he wrote in (Rom. 10:9), “if you confess with

your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” This is the essence of Easter. The redemp-tive power of God displayed through the resurrection of His only begotten Son. If God were seeking revenge on the earth it would surely have been over the death of His Son, but instead He forgives and creates hope for all who would believe in Jesus. The world is truly without hope if we think that the nature of Jesus cannot make a dif-ference. The love of God is cast abroad by the living faith that resides within the believer and not within the Easter Bunnies egg basket. The message of Easter is a message of redemptive hope and the life of Jesus was given to the delivery of that message.

“The Chiefs still control their own destiny tomorrow

night in Penticton,” Chilli-wack’s head coach Jason Tatarnic tweeted Monday.

That is not the case any-more.

After a 5-2 loss in Penticton the next evening—Chilli-wack’s third in the playoff round robin—the team must now wait for the result of another game to discover their fate in the postseason.

The results of Thursday’s Penticton Vees and Nanaimo Clippers game will decide the length of Chilliwack’s season.

Travelling to the South Okanagan Events Centre with fan buses in tow on Tuesday, the Chiefs came short of the win they needed to guarantee their season would stay alive.

After a scoreless first peri-

od with no penalties and Chilliwack favoured in the shot count (8-7) Jake Hand scored his ninth goal of the playoffs early in the second frame to put the guests up 1-0.

But with 6:30 left in the period, the Vees tied and four minutes later took the lead 2-1.

Penticton wasted no time after second intermission

as Tyson Jost made it 3-1 at 2:24 in the final frame with his goal.

Cam Amantea increased the Vees lead to 4-1 as the clock approached the last half of the final period, while Hunter Miska made some impressive saves to keep the Chiefs paralysed on the scoreboard.

Mason Boh broke the Chiefs dry spell with his 10:52

goal, but Chilliwack couldn’t muster any more in the contest.

After a Vees empty net point from Steen Cooper with 88 seconds remaining, the final score was 5-2.

“That’s a tough loss and now we wait to see the out-come of the Penticton and Nanaimo [game] to see if we live another day,” tweeted Tatarnic.

If Penticton wins Thursday the Chiefs will host Nanaimo in a game Chilliwack must win.

If they do so, the Chiefs would then travel for another game in Nanaimo on Mon-day for a tiebreaker.

The winner of that game would then go on to the BCHL finals against Pent-icton.

If, however, Nanaimo beats Penticton this Thursday, those two teams will have eliminated Chilliwack and they will advance to play for the Fred Page Cup.

Tough MMA lossesIn Battlefield fight league action last Saturday Chilli-wack’s Four Directions gym combatants Jamie Siraj and Kolten Higginbottom both lost their bouts in BFL 35 at the River Rock Casino in Rich-mond. On the main card Nick Ghaeni defeated Siraj by split

decision, and Higginbottom lost in his undercard fight to Mike Crisp at 2:24 by tapout

due to rear naked choke. The close loss for Siraj has prompted a rematch against Ghaeni scheduled for May 30 at River Rock.

Wierks, Pauls top athletesUniversity of the Fraser Valley’s (UFV) Chilliwack products Sarah Wierks and

Aaron Pauls were named the athletes of the year last Tuesday evening at the Cas-cades athletic department’s annual awards banquet at the Ramada Plaza and Con-ference Centre. Honoured for her historic basketball season, Wierks earned Can-ada West first team all-star

honours and a CIS All-Ca-nadian award. Among the achievements that won Pauls his honour was becom-ing the first UFV athlete in any sport to be selected to participate in the World University Games where he finished 17th in the men’s golf event in Crans-Montana,

Switzerland last June. He was also captain of the Cascades men’s golf team while it won its third straight PacWest title and a bronze medal at CCAA nationals. Pauls also achieved PacWest all-star and won a CCAA Academic All-Canadian award this year.◗ Compiled by staff

Th e C h i l l i w a c k Times is pleased to announce that

reporters Paul J. Hender-son and Greg Laychak were both recognized for their journalistic excel-lence as winners of 2015 Canadian Community Newspaper Awards.

Paul captured first place in Excellence in Rural Reporting for his regular series of features on food and farming that runs under “The Eaten Path”

banner. Paul also placed second in Outstanding Reporter Initiative for his distinct coverage of the 2014 municipal election, specifically for two sto-ries: “Who Cares?” (Oct. 9, 2014) a story that took a closer look at voter apathy here in Chilliwack, and “Social Politics,” (Oct. 16,

2014) a look at the essen-tial but tumultuous world of social media during an election.

Greg earned a third-place finish in the Best Photo Essay category for “Down on the Farm,” (Dec. 11, 2014) examining the plight of migrant farm workers in the valley.

George Webb (Hora-tio Webb’s younger brother) and his

wife Lottie moved from their 40-acre property on Fairfield Island to retire on Reece Avenue.

He p u rc ha s e d t h i s two-storey home on the corner of Reece Avenue and Cook Street from builder C.D. Waring in 1909, the fourth Mr. War-ing had completed on the street. The Webb ranch on Fairfield Island would be sold the following year for the pricey sum of $200 per acre.

The two-storey home’s lower level is constructed of moulded concrete blocks that were made to mimic stone, while wood siding was used on the upper storey’s exterior. Concrete block homes were gaining popularity in Chilliwack’s in the early 20th century; both for the fire resistance and lower construction

costs they provided. Excellent examples of

concrete block homes can be found on Prest Road, Jesperson Road ( Jes-person House), Nowell Street (Patten House) and Edward Street, just to name a few.

A welcoming full-length covered porch graces the front of the home. The bell-shaped roof (referred to as “bell cast”) that changes pitch near the

eaves is topped with an unusual architectural fea-ture. The widow’s walk with its wooden railing that encircles the roof is more commonly found on east coast Victorian homes. Legend was that wives of sea captains would stand from this perch and scan the coastal horizon longing for their husband’s safe return from sea. This architectural fea-ture, however, served a

more practical purpose. The roof hatch was actu-ally designed to provide a safe, quick way to access the chimney from inside the house should a fire occur in the chimney.

An addition was built onto the rear of the home at a later period. The 106- year-old George Webb house remains in great condition and is listed on the City of Chilliwack’s Heritage Inventory.

Come share your stories and memories of Chilliwack and meet Daniel Francis the new

director of the Chilliwack Museum & Archives. Mingle with friends old and new at Heritage Chilliwack Society’s first Heritage Social on Thursday, April 16 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Royal Hotel in downtown Chilliwack.

Hear a general overview of the

structure of Heritage in Canada by Francis, live music by Damian Brennan before the open mic por-tion of the evening.

Everyone will have an opportuni-ty to take the mic and share. Maybe it was swimming in Dayton’s pool, cruising the Dog’n Suds or A&W on Saturday nights or summers at Cul-tus Lake, come and share in a casu-al, fun-filled atmosphere.

The Royal Hotel is an enthusi-astic supporter of Heritage Chilli-wack Society and has generously donated the use of The Wellington for the evening.

Make us part of your story.

The average mouth is made to hold only 28 teeth. It can be painful when 32 teeth try to � t in a space that should hold only 28 teeth. These four other teeth are your third molars, also known as “wisdom teeth.”

Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt within the mouth, usually by the age of 18. When they align properly and gum tissue is healthy, wisdom teeth do not have to be removed. Unfortunately, this does not generally happen.

The extraction of wisdom teeth is necessary when they are prevented from properly erupting within the mouth. They may grow sideways, partially emerge from the gum, and even remain trapped beneath the gum and bone. These poorly positioned impacted teeth can cause many problems. When they are partially

erupted, the opening around the teeth allows bacteria to grow and will eventually cause an infection.

In most cases, the removal of wisdom teeth is performed under local anesthesia, laughing gas (nitrous oxide/oxygen analgesia) or general anesthesia. Our services are provided in an environment

of optimum safety that utilizes modern monitoring equipment and staff who are experienced in anesthesia techniques.

The 93rd annual Chilliwack Plowing Match returns to break some sod April 11.

This year’s B.C. Plowing Cham-pionships in draft horse and tractor classes takes place at 10:30 a.m. at the 9490 Ford Rd. site in Rosedale (Jim Sache and family fields).

Admission to the event is $5 for adults with children (under 12 and accompanied by an adult) getting in free.

Among the highlights of the annual plowing match are the magnificent draft horses with sulky or walking plows, restored antique

tractors with antique trailer plows and modern tractors with high tech competition plows.

There are numerous classes for both draft horses and tractors and, of course, the ever-popular may-ors tractor competition, which is

open to mayors from Abbotsford, Agassiz, Chilliwack, Harrison Hot Springs, Hope and Mission.

Refreshments and lunch are served by the Sardis Kiwanis Club and there will be wagon rides and horseshoeing demonstrations.

Thanks Bruce

I have a young family, a husband and three kids and my life is very complex. I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses was something I couldn’t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didn’t need an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less than I paid for one pair at my regular optometrist. I couldn’t believe how great the deal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere but Great Glasses in the future. I’m so glad that Bruce was willing to fi ght for good customer value.

new materials,” Novak said.The CFIC complains that in a

school district where Gideon Bibles are still accessible via permission slips, all materials should be consid-ered in an equal manner.

“The question comes down to should the school board be pro-viding materials to students from external groups,” said Eric Adriaans, national executive director of CFIC. “Whether the external group is the Centre for Inquiry or the Gideon Bible or a local Muslim organiza-tion or a Mormon organization, etc. should the school be distributing it?”

“And if they do, are they evaluating all those options fairly, forthrightly with the criteria demonstrated and in a transparent fashion,” he added.

In his organization’s view that is not the case.

A post on their website (centrefo-rinquiry.ca/chilliwack-rejects-daw-kins-magic-of-reality/) links to the district’s response which does include the criteria sent by Novak, but CFIC sees it as vague and unin-formative.

Novak said the Gideon Bible issue itself was resolved in 2012 when con-troversy sparked debate and a new policy 518 was issued by the board in 2013 that ensured a review process.

“We actually aren’t distributing the Gideon Bible,” she said. “It is not being distributed to Grade 5 students or in our schools.”

Novak said she wouldn’t autho-rize permission slips to get either the Gideon book or the Dawkins book at public district schools.

However, Novak also said she was not sure if the practice was still happening at the school level as she hasn’t checked the situation this year, but will look into the matter when classes resume next week.

Because of spring break, the Times was also unable to confirm whether or not bibles or permission forms are in schools.

B u t C h i l l i -w a c k s c h o o l b o a r d t r u s t e e Ba r r y Ne u f e l d said the Gideon Bibles, though not endorsed by the district, are made readily available for anyone who asks.

“ I n s t e a d o f sending out promotional literature to the kids our policy now is just to mention it on the school newslet-ter and if anybody’s interested they can contact the school and they can pick up a Gideon Bible if they want,” Neufeld said. “And I think it’s expanded, it’s not just available to Grade 5.”

If that’s the case Adriaans and his group would like to make The Magic of Reality available in the same way, and also free.

“Since the board has passed this policy why don’t we take a look at this as an opportunity to work with it?” Adriaans said about CFIC’s inter-nal discussion that started the pro-

cess. “I suggested that we target the March break because that’s a good time for kids to do reading.”

Kevin Francis, host of podcast Left at the Valley with Kevin and Karen and member of the Fraser Valley Atheists, Skeptics and Humanists (FVASH) says the district is making a

big mistake.“The govern-

ments are cut-ting everything including funding to the education system,” he said. “These kids are l e a r n i n g w i t h nothing, they have to steal duct tape.”

Francis adds that Dawkins is o f t e n m i s p e r-ceived: the man

is the most prominent evolutionary biologist of our time—he also hap-pens to be an atheist.

“This comes with no strings and it’s given to you at a time when the cupboard is bare,” he said. “You can’t afford to pass on something like that.”

Francis said the book is strictly about science not atheism, which people would see if given a fair eval-uation.

“It makes no sense from an eco-nomic standpoint, it makes no sense from a scientific standpoint,” he said. “It only makes sense for them to do that from a political or religious standpoint.”

As rain fell from the sky, smoke rose up from grills and smokers as slabs of meat were slow-

ly cooked for hour upon hour.Some of the best barbecue

chefs from Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest were in Yarrow on March 21 and 22 for the inaugural Barn Burner BBQ com-petition, and the crowds came in droves.

“We could not be happier with the people of Chilliwack and the surrounding communities who made it out to taste with us today,” said organizer Angie Quaale, own-er of Langley’s Well Seasoned and the host of the decade-old annual BBQ Off The Bypass competition.

The Barn Burner BBQ compe-tition was held at The Farm Store at Fraser Valley Specialty Poultry (formerly Fraser Valley Duck and Goose) in Yarrow, and co-hosted by Johnston’s Pork.

The expanded parking lot made for a great location for the event but it was almost too popular as the site was a wall of people just after lunchtime. Fraser Valley Spe-cialty Poultry owner Ken Falk said some BBQ fans were even lined

up at the gate at 10:30 a.m. unable to wait for the 11 a.m. start.

The event was a fully sanctioned Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS) competition featuring 21 teams. For those unfamiliar with official competition barbecue, there are four categories: beef brisket, pork ribs, pulled pork and chicken, all judged by certified KCBS judges.

At the end of the two days of cooking, Prairie Smoke and Spice out of Regina, Sask., took home the Grand Championship receiv-ing the highest total points, and Lake House BBQ from Mill Creek, Wash., was Reserve Grand Cham-pion (second place).

The event also featured an optional black box competition where the BBQ chefs were provid-

ed with three mystery ingredients at 4 p.m. on Saturday, and had to create a dish for guest judg-es—which included yours truly—by 3 p.m. on Sunday.

Given the two hosts of the event, it was no surprise to see duck breast from Fra-ser Valley Specialty Poultry and farmer sausage from Johnston’s included. The third

item was pomegranate molasses, and the 12 teams came up with some outstanding creations that were hard to judge. But the clear standout at the judging table, and the winner, was a duck breast with pomegranate sauce and a sausage and rice cake by Smokey’s BBQ out of Cle Elum, Wash. (Recipes on this page.)

More than 4,000 meat lovers attended the event that also fea-tured a climbing wall, face paint-ing and live music. Admission was by donation with all proceeds (nearly $5,000) donated to Ruth & Naomi’s Mission in Chilliwack.

“Now that we can see how much Chilliwack loves low and slow BBQ, we are certain this will become an annual event at the Farm Store,” Quaale said.

Next up for local

BBQ fans is the popular 10th annual BBQ Off the Bypass in Langley on Sept. 13.

This is a dish that can go in many directions, you can add your favorite dried fruit, cheese and sauce. You can also add a verity of different vegetables to your liking.

Ingredients: 1 lb ground sausage4 large eggs 1/2 cup dried cherry (chopped) 1 cup shallots (chopped) 2 cups mild cheese (shred-ded) 1 Tbsp garlic (minced) 4 cups jasmine rice (cooked) 1 cup bread crumbs1 tsp seasoning salt/rub 2 Tbsp olive oil 1/2 cup pomegranate sauce

Directions:1. Cook sausage and chop into small pieces, drain and set aside.2. In a large bowl beat eggs and add remaining ingredients except 1/4 cup of pomegranate sauce and olive oil, and mix together. 3. Form into palm size pat-ties and place on flat surfacesuch as cookie sheet until ready to cook.4. In frying pan heat olive oil over medium heat. Place cakes into oil and fry for two to four minutes on each side or until golden brown. 5. Arrange on plate and driz-zle remaining pomegranate sauce over cakes.

Ingredients: 4 duck breasts (skin on) 2 Tbsp herb rub 1/2 cup minced shallots1 cup pomegranate molas-ses Pomegranate fruit1/4 cup bacon grease 1/4 cup olive oil 1 Tbsp minced garlic 1 cup port wine2 Tbsp Dijon mustard

Directions: 1. Cut a crosshatch pattern in the duck skin but not the meat below. Rub entire breast with herb rub. In skillet heat bacon grease and olive oil until hot, be careful not to overheat the oil. Place duck breast skin down in pan and cook for 4 to 6 minutes.2. Turn breast over meat side down and cook another 2 to 4 minutes. Skin should look golden to dark brown. Remove duck from skillet and place on wire rack. Once all duck breasts are fried and on the rack, place rack in smoker/grill set at 275 F for 30 minutes or until internal temperature of breast reaches 138 F.3. Drain remaining grease from skillet except about 2 tablespoons, add shallots and garlic along with 1 tea-spoon of herb rub, and cook for 5 minutes on medium heat, remove from heat and set aside. 4. In a sauce pan mix together pomegranate molasses, Dijon and port bring to a low boil and sim-mer until liquid has reduced by half, stir in shallots and garlic and simmer for anoth-er 2 minutes, remove from heat. 5. When duck breast reach-es internal temperature of 138 F, remove from smoker/grill and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes. 6. Slice duck breast about quarter-inch thick and arrange on plate in feather formation. Drizzle sauce over duck and garnish with pomegranate fruit.

According to Remodeling magazine’s “2014

Cost vs. Value Report,” a major kitchen remod-eling project should enable homeowners to recoup 74.2 per cent of their initial investments. Kitchen renovations have long been a safe way to improve the functionality and value of a home. But not every kitchen project is a guaranteed winner. Homeowners may inad-vertently make changes that end up sticking out like a sore thumb rather than improving the space. Take a look at these kitchen remod-eling dos and don’ts to guide your next under-taking.

DO consider the way your kitchen will look with the rest of the home. Keep architec-tural integrity in mind when designing the space. A farmhouse sink and country cabinets can look out of place in an ultra-modern home.

DON’T overlook the importance of a seasoned designer or architect. These pros will know the tricks to maximizing space and achieving the ideal lay-out of appliances and may be able to recom-mend local contractors and vendors.

DO look beyond surface details to the structural integrity of

the design. The kitchen should be functional, long-lasting and beau-tiful.

DON’T design just for today, but look to the future as well. Unless you are willing to spend $50,000 every five years, look for styles and mate-rials that will last for the long haul. Older home-owners may want to make adjustments now that address potential mobility issues down the road.

DO work with what you have. A complete demolition and ren-

ovation is not always necessary to achieve the desired results. Only invest in major chang-es if something is not working (such as having to walk across the entire kitchen to access the stove) or is unsafe. Oth-erwise, minor upgrades may do the trick.

DON’T over-im-prove the space. A fully equipped commercial kitchen may be handy for a professional chef, but the average person may not need an indus-trial hood and indoor

pizza oven. When you make excessive improve-ments, you may not be able to recoup as much of the money spent because your home will not be on par with the values of homes in the neighborhood.

DO make sure you can afford the project. Plan for some unexpected purchases and plan out the renovation according to your budget. Skimping on materials or design because of lack of money may leave you feeling dissatisfied afterward.

Q: I have an espalier apple tree with three different varieties of apples in a pot near two apple trees growing in the ground. Last year I had many apple blossoms but only a few apples. If I move the espalier apple away from the other two apple trees, do I need another apple tree to plant alongside for pollination?

Sally WongVancouver

A: It sounds like a pollination problem from lack of bees. Insuf-ficient cross-pollination problems other apple trees is also a possibility. But with five apple varieties in your yard, I don’t think all are incompat-ible.

I wonder how many bees you have in your neighbourhood. Honeybees are in short supply everywhere, but in densely populated areas (small lots/townhouses, etc.) wild bees are also hard to find.

Wild bees are vital for pollination and die from pesticides just like hon-eybees.

I’d recommend you starting to keep mason bees. Their nesting tubes need very little space on house or shed walls, they never sting and are easy to keep. It’s too late this year to get kits of mason bee houses/egglaying tubes/cocoons, etc. but it’s something to keep in mind for next year.

Because the cocoons contain little living creatures, it would be best to order from a garden centre in very early spring. Usually when you buy a kit you are given instructions with it. Mason bees make a big improve-ment in fruit tree and berry crops and once you begin caring for them, you don’t have to buy a kit again.

There’s also a very good book Pollination with Mason Bees by Dr. Margriet Dogterom. It’s a gardener’s guide to managing mason bees for fruit production.

I doubt that adding another apple tree to your yard would help. Some varieties of apples are self-fertile, others pollinate only certain varieties and a few don’t cross-pollinate any other apples. Trying to match five apple varieties isn’t practical.

But did you know that crabapple trees are great pollinators for all apple trees. I’d suggest adding a crabapple tree to your yard. The fruit is small and

acidic but makes delicious jelly and is quite decorative and so are the flowers.

A third possibility with your low fruit production is that the in-ground trees are just too young to bear much fruit. They may be concentrating on vegetative growth. Your espalier tree may also be young, but it also could be the pot hasn’t been big enough. Planting this in the ground is a good idea.

Q: How can I plant peppers from seeds—in soil and in pots or in the ground?

FlorenceVancouver

A: Peppers need to be started in sterilized potting soil in pots. This can be done on a windowsill or under a plant light in your house—or in a greenhouse or cold frame.

Now is the best time to do this because peppers are very slow-grow-ing and can’t be put out until frost season is well over. The end of May is the very earliest it’s safe to plant pep-pers in the outside garden.

The Alpine Garden Club of B.C. spring show and sale will happen 12 to 4 p.m. Sat., April 4 in the Floral Hall VanDusen Garden, 37 & Oak, Vancouver. Alpines, shrubs, peren-nials—many treasures. Info [email protected].

John Mann is best known as the lead singer of iconic Canadian rock band Spirit of the West, but it comes as no surprise that

he’s also a powerhouse in his own right.

When this masterful musician comes to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on April 17, he will create an intimate and powerful atmosphere filled with passion, dedication, and pure talent. It’s a tale of hardship, hard-won happiness, and accep-tance—and it’s certainly a show you won’t want to miss.

Mann has released three albums as a solo artist, creating a collection of softer and more intimate songs than found in Spirit of the West’s repertoire—but still full of the vim and vigor found in legendary rock anthem “Home for a Rest” that first brought the band to fame.

These solo albums—the latest released just last year—highlight Mann’s soulfulness and intro-

spectiveness as a solo artist while documenting his journey to a more positive existence.

After coming to grips with giant obstacles in his personal life – a bat-tle with cancer and adjusting to life with early onset Alzheimer’s—this renowned singer and songwriter remains dedicated and passionate about his music.

His most recent album, titled The Waiting Room, was born out of his hospital experiences – and his choice to make it a positive journey.

“It’s been a neat kind of journey, and talking to other people in their journeys as well,” he told North Shore News during his battle with cancer. “I just started writing, and writing down what we had all been talking about and what we were going through.”

The toughest time, Mann says, was after he beat the cancer but before he was diagnosed with Alz-heimer’s. Performing as an actor,

he had difficulty remembering his lines and cues. As a musician, he began having trouble with lyrics and chords the band had been play-ing for decades. Doctors reassured him that his memory problems were most likely a lingering symp-tom of his cancer treatment, but Mann had a gut feeling that there was a deeper issue. The people around him became frustrated, and then concerned; his memory was only getting worse with time, and all signs pointed to the fact that something was wrong. The ultimate Alzheimer’s diagnosis was both comforting—and terrifying.

But at the end of the day, Mann’s family, friends, and bandmates came together around him—and emerged stronger for the experience.

“My Spirit of the West band mates circled me with care, and we will forge ahead as we’ve been doing the last 30 some-odd years with humour and friendship, play-

ing our hearts out,” Mann wrote in a heartfelt blog post announcing his diagnosis. “I will continue to write and tour, because this is what I do and what I love.”

So while the legendary musician no longer plays guitar in his con-certs, and uses an iPad to help him remember the lyrics, he’s still up there on stage—pouring his heart out and proving passion is more powerful than disease.

The result is a collection of heart-warming, breath-taking songs—and a tale of a difficult, yet positive, journey.

“I’m the kid they cut apart, stitched back up, then grew a softer heart,” he croons in “Thank You,” one of the songs on The Waiting Room.

And after stressing for so long over medical issues, Mann says he’s learned to let things go—and to treasure the good things in life. He’s become more patient, more thank-

ful, and brought a new soulfulness to his music.

Alzheimer’s changed his life, Mann says, but it will never change his love of music, or the passion with which he performs.

“Hearing the news has been a dif-ficult blow,” he explains in his blog. “But I don’t want to spend any more energy trying to hide my symptoms. I don’t want to feel embarrassed. I want to accept what has happened and live.”

◗ It’s with this joie de vivre and unwavering strength that John Mann will perform at the Chilli-wack Cultural Centre on April 17, in what is sure to be an emotional and heartwarming journey to the heart of a Canadian rock legend. For tickets and more information, contact the Box Office at 604-391-SHOW(7469) or visit them online at www.ChilliwackCulturalCentre.ca. All seats are $32.

Derek Edwards - Baloney and Wine is an uproarious romp through the increas-ingly strange quirks of our daily routines

and hits the Chilliwack Cultural Centre’s stage April 18.

It’s relentless and brazen, a tightly woven run-ning commentary about human nature . . . “the thinking man’s coffee break.”

In an ever more chaotic world, Edwards remains an inimitable constant, the hilarious voice of reason. As he says, “28 years in, it’s AAALLLL starting to click!”

From Vegas to St. John’s, this Just For Laughs veteran is universally considered to be among the comic elite. Certainly his peers think so, as evidenced by the fact that he’s a four-time nominee, and winner of Best Standup Comic - Canadian Comedy Awards, as well as a multi-ple Gemini nominee for Best Performance in a Comedy. As Rick Mercer says, “Everyone knows Derek is the funniest man in Canada.”

Derek Edwards’ new 90-minute stand-up comedy show is a richly textured and enthralling “cut above,” delivered with pace and authority. It sizzles, it pops; it’s Baloney and Wine.

◗ Reserved seating tickets for Derek Edwards - Baloney and Wine show at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre April 18 are $40 (tax included, facility fees and service charges extra), and on sale through the Chilliwack Cultural Centre box office: 604-391-7469. Showtime is 7:30 p.m.

Ticket holders for Chilliwack’s Art of Wine Festival will be thrilled with the award-win-

ning wineries represented at the Cultural Centre Saturday, May 9 at 7 p.m.

This signature festival has it all: a stunning space, perfectly paired hors d’oeuvres, two live entertain-ment stages, an interactive wine tasting contest, art gallery exhibit themed “Light & Shadow” and a highly sought-after raffle auction sure to create a spectacular eve-ning.

Beyond the glitz and glamour, Chilliwack’s Art of Wine Festival is presented by the Chilliwack Arts & Cultural Centre Society Board of Directors to ensure financial sup-port for the thriving arts and crafts programs at the Centre.

And then, of course, there’s the wine.

Representatives from more than 30 wineries will fill the Chilliwack Cultural Centre from gallery to studio theatre, and everywhere in between. Try award-winning wine from Chaberton Estate Winery, Damali Lavendar & Winery, Kala-lal Organic Estates Winery, Moon Curser Vineyards, Blasted Church Winery and so many more.

The span of showcased wines is both vibrant and wide; from local Valley wineries to samplings from the Sunshine Coast and the Okana-gan, the festival showcases both the variety and quality of British Columbia wines.

All in all, this spectacular eve-ning is a testament to the power of local wine, food, art, and live music—not to mention Chilli-wack’s amazing community spirit. Everything comes together from all quarters in a celebration of every-thing art—and in overwhelming support for the growing arts and

crafts programs at The Centre. If you love to try new wine with-

out committing to an entire bottle, then this is the event for you: pre-pare for a veritable safari through a multitude of award-winning fla-vours and scents. Pair your wine with tastes from Kuro Asian Cui-

sine, Simply Savory Catering, the Society Gathering House, Best Western Catering, Coopers Food, Brixton Restaurant & Lounge, and Crave Catering.

As you sip and savour, it’s up to you to determine the best in show. Each attendee votes for their favou-rite winery . . . and the night cli-maxes with the presentation of a giant and gorgeous trophy, award-ed to the winery who receives the most votes.

The Art of Wine Festival is not only an opportunity to explore new wines, but a chance to take home fabulous items from the silent auc-tion and raffle, sample fresh and elegant hors d’oeurves from well-loved Chilliwack establishments, and enjoy the stunning space of the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. Settle in with a glass of red or white to enjoy the sweet sounds of the Curbside Jazz Band, or take in the gentle music of acclaimed harpist Glen Cuthbertson.

With a silent auction, raffle, live music on two stages and a host of local art on display, fundrais-ing has never been more fun. It’s the perfect night out to celebrate the vibrant and generous com-munity of Chilliwack—and just in time for Mother’s Day, too. It’s the perfect way to embrace spring in an intimate environment, and a wonderful opportunity to connect with the tastemakers behind our award-winning B.C. wines and local food.

“We are expecting to sell out the Art of Wine Festival,” says Kel-lyAnne TeBrinke, development officer of the Chilliwack Arts & Cultural Centre Society and one of the organisers behind this stand-out event. “The word is out: the Art of Wine Festival is the premiere spring event to attend. Sample some of B.C.’s finest wines and cel-ebrate Chilliwack’s cuisine and cul-ture.”

The brilliant and lovely Sarah Hagen is back in Chilliwack with a solo

piano performance from the heart – and you won’t want to miss it!This talented and bright pianist brings the best of classical music to the Rotary Hall Studio Theatre at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on Friday, April 17 at 10:30am as part of her classical morning concert series. Sit back and enjoy fresh coffee and complimentary pastries from Sardis bakery, and start you day with a touch of classical music and a beautiful sense of community!From humble beginnings in living room concerts in her home to province-wide tours, this morning series combines the

joy of classical music with fresh and

casual morning energy. To date, Sarah has brought seven of these lovely morning concerts to the Centre, performing

duets with widely

acclaimed musicians from Poland, the Netherlands, and Canada. For the final set of the season, she will fill the space with the rich and gorgeous sound of the piano.While it might seem a little strange to attend a concert in the morning, rather than the evening, the format works on an abundance of levels – and with complimentary coffee, tea, and fresh pastries from Sardis Bakery, this morning concert series provides the perfect way to start the day!“I started doing the concerts in the morning, because I knew people in my town didn’t want to drive at night,” Sarah says. “It just seemed extra-casual and intimate to do it on a Wednesday morning or a Friday morning. When I took it to the main theatre for the first season, I wanted to keep that – because I knew there were so many people who wanted to go to classica concerts, but didn’t want to be out late at night. And now it’s grown into what it is today – it’s beautiful.”The Rotary Hall Studio Theatre is the perfect space for a wonderful morning of breakfast and classical – cozy, intimate, and serene. Audience members of all ages and backgrounds come together for a quiet and enjoyable morning of classical compositions, as this talented pianist brings beloved works to life. The mood is conversational, casual, and relaxed – the perfect space to enjoy your favourite pieces from Brahms, Debussy, or Mozart!And with Sarah, the morning is so much more than a performance; the concert takes on the feel of a coffeehouse lecture as she stops to chat between pieces, explaining the lives and events of the composers as she goes. With

her expert and passionate guidance, audiences will leave the theatre with a deeper understanding of the people and narratives behind the music.“When I started this concert series, and I was hosting them in my house, this is how I always did it – by composer,” Sarah explains. “You get a better feel for the music than if we just went straight through the piece. It brings the composer’s life right into the composition – and it’s cozy.”It’s been five years since Sarah brought the concert series out of her living room and into venues around the country – but she strives to keep the heart of the performances the same.“You can really feel the community developing through this,” she says with a soft smile. “I can see the audience growing, but also becoming more and more relaxed with every concert. In Chilliwack in particular, the audience is very thoughtful. And that’s what I love about these concerts – every audience has its own personality, and you get to grow and change and be a part of it.”Sarah Hagen takes to the stage at the Rotary Hall Studio Theatre on April 17 at 10:30am. Tickets are $22 for for students, $24 for seniors, and $27 for adults.

Sarah Hagen is generously sponsored by Sardis Bakery, The Royal Hotel, The Chilliwack Times, the Department of Canadian Heritage, the City of Chilliwack, the Province of British Columbia, and the British Columbia Arts Council.

One of the world’s most beloved tales springs to life this month at the

HUB International Theatre, as Monster Theatre brings a brand-new stage adaptation of The Little Prince to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre!

A cast of whimsical and zany characters are sure to tickle the hearts and funny bones of every audience. Follow the adventures of the prince through the solar system, as he explores asteroids and the intriguing kingdoms of outer space!

The talented and very funny Nancy Kenny takes on the role of The Little Prince, and the amazing Tara Travis juggles costumes and funny voices to portray every other character in the show. Together the duo are dynamite onstage, showcasing years of experience in bringing well-loved children’s theatre to life – while making each show accessible and interesting for adult audiences as well.

“It’s a play that has layers for all audiences,” Tara Travis. “It’s this classic tale of adventure and exploration – but also of love, loss, and philosophy. It never talks down to the kids, but it puts these great and giant themes on a level where any audience can approach them.”

“The Little Prince is one of my most favourite books,” Tara continues. “It turned out to be one of Nancy’s favourites too – and for both of us, not just in childhood, but in adulthood too.”

The tale is based on the famous French novella by the same name, which is both the most-read and most-translated work in the French language. The story is simple on the surface but hides layers of meaning for readers of all ages –

something that Monster Theatre has stayed true to with their new adaptation.

“We build in layers of humour so that we can reach ages five all the way to teachers and beyond,” says actor Tara Travis. “We want everyone to have treats and jokes. We have a lot of visual interest for the really young kids, and then some really clever cerebral jokes and things for the adults to keep them engaged as well.”

This cosmic adventure begins when The Little Prince lands on earth. Exploring his surroundings, he runs into a pilot who has crash landed in the desert. As the pilot repairs his plane, the prince recounts his life story thus far – from his tiny home world, where you can watch the sun set any time you like just by moving your chair, to a host of other asteroid kingdoms and their citizens. The audience meets a geographer, a desert merchant, a fox, a snake, a king, a lamplighter, and more – a host of vibrant characters, each with a subtle piece of wisdom.

The show is a rigmarole of utter fun, chock-a-block full of puppets, masks, music, and multimedia projections that bring the original watercolour illustrations of The Little Prince to life. It’s an homage to the novella in more ways than one – and an amazing introduction to one of the world’s most beloved stories.

Together, the pilot and the prince explore love, loss, and loneliness. What does it mean to be homesick? What is the nature of romantic love? What power do we place in friendship – and sacrifice? Ultimately, The

Little Prince is so much more than a book or a play, but a celebration of open-mindedness and imagination. The prince and the pilot may be an unlikely pair – but together they teach us everything we need to know about wonder, life, and the beauty of seeing the world through fresh eyes.

“It’s just absolutely a tremendous time,” Tara says. “It’s a show that understands the way children see and think and feel about the world. Young audiences connect with it on a deep level – it’s magical and imaginative.”

The Little Prince comes to the HUB International Theatre on Sunday, April 12 at 2:00 pm. All seats are $10.

The Little Prince is generously sponsored by Emil Anderson Co. Ltd., Gidney Signs, the Department of Canadian Heritage, The Chilliwack Times, the Province of British Columbia, Tim Hortons, British Columbia Arts Council, KPMG, 89.5 The Drive, and the City of Chilliwack.

The Little Prince captures the imagination.

Vedder Rotary Trail RemindersThe Vedder Rotary Trail is a very popular trail in Chilliwack and at times can be very busy. For the safety of all, please use these guidelines to make your next visit safer and more enjoyable.

• Travel in a consistent and predictable manner and look behind before changing your position on the trail.

• Respect all private property. The trails are open to the public but often the land adjoining the trail is private property so please respect all property rights.

• Cyclists should ride in single file and at a safe speed. Slow down in congested conditions and in areas of reduced visibility. Cyclists must yield to all other trail users. Please pass on the left and give a warning by bell or voice before overtaking pedestrian. Cyclists must communicate with Equestrian users when passing.

• Clean up litter. Please pack out what you have brought in or use the provided trash receptacles.

• Dogs must be leashed and should walk along the right hand outside edge of the trail. Yield to horses for safety. All dog walkers must remove their animal’s waste. Please do not let your dog enter shallow water where salmon lay their eggs as your pet can innocently destroy them.

• Walkers and joggers should avoid walking or jogging more than two abreast and should form a single line in congested areas or when other users are trying to pass. Please don’t stand and block others and yield to horses.

• Equestrian users must be in total control of their horse when using this trail. Please dismount and remove manure from the trail’s surface. At all times, be fully aware of your surroundings and of other trail users traveling at a different rate of speed.
