What happens when a 911 operator makes a mistake and tells a caller facing a poten-
tially dangerous situation to do some-thing even more dangerous?
That’s what Jocelyn Wilson faced when a drunk man broke into her house in the middle of the night, went upstairs into her bedroom, and uri-nated in her bed before (or after) he passed out.
Four months after the bizarre inci-dent in her Sardis home and Wilson is still mortified by the experience, plagued with a case of the “what-ifs.”
“It makes me sick to think, what if that was my kids that called? What if that was an elderly woman that called? I was lucky it was just some dumb kid,” she tells the Times. “What if it was someone else that actually was hiding and had malicious intent to rape me?”
Police, meanwhile, concede some-thing indeed went wrong that night with the emergency dispatching and
the problem will be corrected.
Discovered man in her bedIt was Dec. 13 and Wilson, a single
mother of two teenagers, had a rare girls’ night out with her kids at their dad’s house.
She returned home to the large
heritage house she rents at about 2:30 a.m. The glass screen door on her front porch was ajar, muddy foot-prints covered the wood.
She was nervous, but the front door was locked. So she went in the house, noticed one of her cats look at her through an open door to the living room that should have been closed. She ran to let her pit bull puppy out of her kennel, checked the back door and saw it had been kicked open.
Then she called 911.“The operator asked if he was still
there,” Wilson said. “I said ‘I have no idea, I haven’t explored the house.’ He said ‘Chances are he’s still long gone.’”
Then the operator told her to yell out: “Is there anyone in the house, I’m on the phone with the police.”
“I said, ‘Are you kidding me?’ He cut me off and said ‘Just do it.’”
That’s when Wilson says she was informed the police were not coming. After she followed the dispatcher’s directions to call out and no one responded he said, “See, they are long gone. We’ll be there in the morning.”

The federal election may be sev-en months off but fundraising, doorknocking and rhetoric is
well underway in Chilliwack.The electoral district known as
Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon has been a bastion of Conservativism for decades, and while the newly con-figured riding of Chilliwack-Hope is expected by experts to only help the governing party, Liberal candidate Louis De Jaeger thinks MP Mark
Strahl is nervous.“People are dis-
appointed with Mark in general,” De Jaeger said in response to questions about a Conservative riding associa-tion fundraising letter the Times obtained.
The letter, dat-e d M a r c h 1 8 ,
focused on a recent Liberal fundrais-ing dinner in Chilliwack that raised $15,000 and featured Vancouver Lib-eral MP Hedy Fry.
“True to form Hedy had some-thing offensive to say about Chil-liwack-Hope,” the letter signed by Strahl reads. “She said that the Lib-erals should have a better chance of winning here in the next election because, ‘we know the demographics

Laura’s chair found
BY GREG LAYCHAK
It has been a busy week for the Kew family.After thieves took away young Laura
Kew’s independence when they stole her wheelchair with the family van, the online community rallied to get her a new one with over $20,000 in donations from a g o f u n d m e campaign.
T h e n , o n Sunday, police found the six-year-old’s cus-tom-fitted chair a f t e r m e d i a coverage elicit-ed a tip to local RCMP.
“It isn’ t in the best look-ing condition externally but can most likely be repaired,” Laura’s moth-e r C h a r l e n e Kew wrote on her Facebook page. “Laura’s team including our chair mechanic/modifier will be having a look at it today or tomorrow and hope

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON
An anti-dike raising protest at Chilliwack city hall Tuesday led by the mayor’s brother
started with placard waving on Young Road outside, moved inside council chambers and ended with an RCMP presence.
The group of close to 30 residents of Young on Fairfield Island also included Skwah and Skway band members and was led by Mayor Sharon Gaetz’s brother, Dave Hal-lett, who lives on the one-kilometre stretch of Young that will be raised by one metre to meet provincial dike
standards. T h e g r o u p h e l d s i g n s a n d
expressed their opposition in front of city hall around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday.
But tensions rose when they came into council chambers holding the signs—a violation of city bylaws—at the back of the room at city council’s twice-monthly public meeting.
“I just want to say ‘hi’ to my sister,” Hallett said in council chambers, adding some levity to what ended up an awkward situation.
Gaetz postponed the start of the meeting with the reason that she shouldn’t be involved in the discus-sion because of her connection to her brother.
The residents are opposed to a Feb. 3 council decision to approve $780,000 of city funds, one third of the approved budget of $2.34 mil-lion to be matched by provincial and federal funding, to raise Young Road from Cartmell Road to the Hope Slough by one metre.
Seppry Corpuz of the Skway band
was present and said he still has memories of his mother being forced off the land in the flood of 1948 and fleeing to the U.S.
“Each of the high waters over the last few years has put a threat to our well-being,” he told the Times out-side city hall.
With the group in council cham-bers, Gaetz, as she has done all along with this issue, said she could not get involved. Since a council meeting was scheduled, she asked the group to move outside and suggested any councillors who wanted to join them do so. Only Coun. Sam Waddington was up to the challenge and faced the large group in the hall outside coun-
cil chambers alongside director of corporate services Rob Carnegie.
“You are building a castle, drawing up the drawbridge and leaving peo-ple across the moat,” said new Young Road resident Stuart Leslie.
Both Hallett and Rene Crawshaw, among others, encouraged the city to reverse its decision to raise Young Road and instead consider the longer term plan of extending the Cartmell Road dike to Chilliwack Mountain.
Eventually, First Nations drum-mers began playing and singing so loud it ended the conversation and disrupted the council meeting underway inside. Carnegie asked the group drumming to leave and was told the drums were a way to let those on the “the other side” under-stand when no one listens.
The First Nations group left after which four RCMP officers arrived. The rest of the protesters then left city hall without incident but the group of Young Road residents hopes to arrange a meeting with city council.
The RCMP is giving the public an opportunity to provide feedback in a sur-
vey.Running for two weeks, citi-
zens of the Upper Fraser Valley regional detachment (UFVRD) area can visit fluidsurveys.com/s/UFVRD-RCMP/ to give input on various aspects of police services.
“We value the opinions of the general public,” said detachment Cmdr. Supt. Deanne Burleigh in a press release. “And we’re inter-ested in knowing about com-munity priorities and concerns, as we make plans to shape our service in the future.”
It’s all part of regional detach-m e n t ’ s process for building a new strate-gic road map to assist with d e c i s i o n s about how to best use and allocate
its resources in the community.Burleigh emphasized the
focus of the survey is on services to local communities in the Fra-ser Valley, not provincial and national issues.
Responses shared with the regional RCMP in the anony-mous questionnaire will be sub-mitted to an independent third party that will return a summary of findings to the detachment.
Results of the survey will be shared with the media and there will also be presentations to community partners later this year.
The survey consists of nine brief questions on policing, crime and public safety in the Upper Fraser Valley and is also available in French: fluidsurveys.com/s/UFVRD-RCMP-FR/.
Anyone who resides, works or attends school in the UFVRD service area is invited to provide input until April 24.
That region includes all areas from Chilliwack to Boston Bar including Agassiz, Harrison, Hope, and the Fraser Valley Regional District.
◗ A link to the survey is also avail-able on the bc.rcmp.ca website.

are changing here, with more peo-ple coming from Vancouver.’ She clearly believes that Chilliwack and Hope voters aren’t as ‘enlightened’ as Liberal voters from Vancouver.’”
So why ask for fundraising dollars targeting the enemy as the Liberals, a party that has finished either third or fourth in the last four federal elec-tions locally?
“They are very nervous,” De Jaeger says. “They have never had anybody who looked like a threat to them and I’m getting that from all my conser-vative friends.”
The Bravo Restaurant owner says he’s got the proof that it’s true the demographics in Chilliwack are changing.
“I’ve been to 3,000 doors,” De Jae-ger said. “Mark hasn’t done any of that. The best he can come up with is a letter and send it out to a few select people. . . . People are saying this is why we don’t like the Conservatives. We might have supported them in the past, but they don’t have the guts to go out there and talk to their own constituents.”
While De Jaeger says the polling he and his campaign have done at the doorstep give him reason for optimism, University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) political science profes-sor Hamish Telford says Liberal opti-mism in Chilliwack overstates how fast demographic changes happen.
“That claim that is made in that letter was very similar to the think-ing that the NDP had in the last pro-vincial election here in the valley,” Telford says. “Candidates in certain
ridings were really banking on those demographic changes.”
It didn’t happen for the NDP, and Telford says it’s unlikely the shift—a shift he says is indeed real—is hap-pening fast enough to unseat the Conservatives.
“Not in this election and prob-ably not in the n e x t e l e c t i o n either,” Telford says. “I think this is a process that will unfold over decades rather than months.”
Telford thinks what gives pro-gressives the idea i t ’s possible is provincial New Democrat Gwen O’Mahony’s sur-prise byelection win in 2012. But of course that win was more about v o t e s p l i t t i n g between BC Lib-eral candidate Laurie Throness and then-BC Conservative candidate John Martin.
Speaking of vote splitting, with UFV professor Seonaigh MacPher-son running for the NDP, the cen-tre-left votes are likely to be divided, particularly considering the NDP were the second place party in 2011, 2008, 2006 and 2004.
But for De Jaeger, this time around it’s about the candidates more than the parties.
“This is where we think people are gravitating towards: We want some-body we know,” he said.
Meanwhile, the local NDP camp too has begun to campaign in ear-
nest and on April 18 hosts a public talk in Chilliwack featuring Simon Fraser University professor Donald Gutstein, author of the book Harp-erism: How Ste-phen Harper and His Think Tank Colleagues Have T r a n s f o r m e d Canada.
“ G u t s t e i n ’s work helps us understand the ideology driving Harper and his Conservatives,” MacPherson says.
“We need to hear his research as a cautionary tale for what might tran-spire if Harper is elected for anoth-er term: We may lose many of the services and securities we take for granted in Canada.”
Gutstein is speaking April 18 at 7 p.m. at UFV in Chilliwack at 45190 Caen St., Building A. For more info visit seonaighmacpherson.ndp.ca.

A Chilliwack man facing jail time for underage sex charges appears,
as his lawyer feared, to have “done something rash.”
David Thomas Hilpert’s lawyer Juan O’Quinn told a BC Supreme Court on March 9 he was concerned for his client when he did not show up for sentencing as expect-ed.
Hilpert pleaded guilty on Dec. 1, 2014 to two of more than a dozen prostitution and sex charges he faced in con-
nection with a Craigslist erot-ic services page.
Hilpert’s lawyer was not in court this Tuesday when the Crown told the court the Chilliwack RCMP had con-firmed “Mr. Hilpert is now deceased.”
As a matter of “housekeep-ing” the Crown asked for the forfeiture of some materials seized in the investigation and abated the charges.
The 54-year-old Hilpert was to be sentenced in con-nection with a 2010 incident where he procured sex from a 14-year-old Chilliwack girl via a Craigslist ad.
At that time the teenager was also arrested for alleged-ly recruiting other young girls into the sex trade. Police said the girl posted an online ad on Craigslist’s erotic services page, claiming she was 18 years old.
Hilper t faced a dozen charges but pleaded guilty to sexual interference of a per-son under 16 and of being a householder permitting sex-ual activity.
When exactly Hilpert died is unclear, but the first com-ments on an online obituary guest book for him are from March 18.
fully she will have her chair up and running within the next few weeks.”
The funds raised for a new wheelchair will be returned to all donors according to Charlene, but already online response to her post indicates there will be some resistance.
“Don’t want money back! Why not get her a new chair and fix the other one up and donate it? She so deserves a new chair! !” Trish Wol-lard-Stolle replied on Facebook soon after the Kew’s update was posted.
“We wouldn’t feel right to do so,” Charlene had told the Times earlier Tuesday. “That would not be honest and would ruin it for all other families
needing help via gofundme and all other charities. We are happy that through the media it was found.”
The family will find a way to pay for the repairs, she said. Finding the wheelchair was their intent all along when they first reached out on social media.
“More than anything for us the gift that cannot be refunded is the support of community we witnessed,” Charlene said in a Facebook post.
The crowdfunded money raised was a generous gift set up by CKNW and only possible because of community spir-it, but it won’t be needed now that the wheelchair is recovered
according to Charlene.“We as a family still contin-
ue to look forward in creating more awareness about cere-bral palsy and the costs it takes for all special needs families to get their child the mobility and speech devices they require to be kids,” she said. “We are so appreciative of everyone’s love and kindness.”
As for the wheelchair lift that was found damaged in the retrieved van, the Kews are still waiting to find out if it can be salvaged.
An anonymous donor sep-arate from the crowdfunding campaign has offered to help with repairs or replacement of that equipment.

A woman alone in a big house that has been broken into on the phone with 911 being told to explore the house herself.
“I was very upset and I was very scared and upset that the police wouldn’t come,” she said.
So Wilson told the dispatcher, essentially, thanks for nothing, and called her boyfriend. Rattled as she was, she figured maybe the dis-patcher was right, told her boyfriend he didn’t need to come over but had him stay on the line while she walked around the house.
That’s when she found a man passed out in her bed wrapped up in her blankets. The boyfriend then called 911 and an officer was sent out, although Wilson said her boyfriend still beat the Mountie to her door.
The police then had to remove an extremely drunk man from the bed of the single moth-er’s home he had broken into and whose bed he had peed in.
Shocked as anyone would have been at the incident itself, Wilson was mortified by how it was handled, first by the 911 dispatcher and then by police.
“I called in distress and I had to do your job by exploring the house and finding the perpetrator,” she said she told the officer who attended who, in turn, she said, blamed the dispatcher.
“I said ‘That’s a bunch of bulls--t. It’s drilled into us, when you need the police, you called 911.”
Sorry, sorry . . . sorryFor Wilson, things then went
from scary to surreal as she spent the next few hours throwing up, likely in shock, and trying to sleep
on her couch.Then, at about 5:30 p.m. that day,
the officer who had attended the scene earlier, knocked on her door and asked her to come outside so the perpetrator could apologize.
“He said ‘he’s just a young man who’s got a drinking problem. He feels horrible and he feels really dumb. He really would like to apolo-gize with his mom to you.’”
Wilson didn’t want it, she didn’t want to speak to him but felt bul-lied into it by the officer.
“The minute I faced him I start-ed bawling but it made the guy feel better to apolo-gize.”
The treatment by the 911 dis-patcher and the lack of charges for a clear break-and-enter baffled Wilson.
When contact-ed by the Times, the RCMP made it absolutely clear
that mistakes were made during the 911 call but charges were not war-ranted.
Chilliwack RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Mike Rail said all the elements of an offence have to be proven in court and one of those main ele-ments is criminal intent.
“He went to the wrong house and he went to bed,” Rail said. “There is no criminal intent.”
Wilson herself said the man in her bed put his watch and wallet on the dresser, took off all his clothes and got under the covers, all of which points not to a home invader or a thief but to a drunken mistake.
But she doesn’t buy it, wondering how a man could break through a back door, walk past a large Christ-mas tree, walk upstairs right past a
pit bull in a kennel, and go to bed in someone else’s bed.
As for the 911 call, Rail said senior RCMP management are on the case and admit mistakes were made.
“There was a breakdown and it’s been recognized and we are addressing this,” Rail said.
“Jocelyn has brought this to our attention. We don’t want the people in Chilliwack thinking they can’t expect a high level of service. This is going to strengthen what’s going on.”
One area of confusion about the 911 call is where Wilson says the dispatcher told her an officer would show up in the morning, implying no one was coming immediately.
Rail says that’s not the case and the call was in the queue to be dis-patched.
“There was somebody coming,” he said.
Moving onThe incident so shook Wilson, a
self-employed hairdresser, she was unable to work the next day so she lost wages and spent money on new locks, an alarm system and a new bed.
The young man who broke in (or his mother, she’s not sure) paid her about half of the money she spent/lost, she says.
“Now the father has said ‘Screw you, we’ve done enough, we don’t want to hear from you again.’”
For Wilson, now, her attention is not on the perpetrator despite that he wasn’t charged and she’s not happy with how the young man’s parents responded. It’s about the police.
“I’m not on a witch hunt after him, he screwed up,” she said.
“I want to know that people are safe and that police will come when we need them.”
Rail insists that despite this one mistake, that is indeed the case.
“The community is safe,” he said. “We take great pride in the high lev-el of services we provide.”

For climate change deniers, afflicted with a pathological cognitive dis-sonance, put yourself in their place
for a moment and then come on back to reality with the daily news.
How hard must that be to hear some-thing over and over, treated as part of our new global reality, when you think it doesn’t exist?
At once, they fight internally with the inconvenient reality of scientific discovery that frustrates ardently held ideologies on how the world should be run, and then are overwhelmed with the mainstream media reporting on the reality of human-caused climate change and its impact.
So, so hard.As a thought experiment, I tried to
put myself in the position of these folks, blinded by neoliberal ideology and/or indoctrinated by oil-funded research institute propaganda. So I replaced the term “climate change” as seen in the media with something else. First I thought “socialist conspiracy” or “David Suzuki retirement plan.” Too awkward. Maybe something nonsensical, as these folks believe climate change to be. How about “unicorn farts”?
“Unicorn farts threaten to strip the identity of Glacier National Park,” reports
The New York Times.“Next December, 196 nations will
meet in Paris to agree a course of action to respond to unicorn farts,” reports The Guardian.
Premier Christy Clark’s statement on Washington’s initiative to address the topic: “I would like to congratulate Washington Governor Jay Inslee for his bold, progressive proposals to tackle unicorn farts, including putting a price on carbon. In working with Gov. Inslee, along with the governors of Oregon and California, through British Columbia’s membership in the Pacific Coast Collab-orative, I’ve seen first-hand the passion and leadership that he brings to the uni-corn fart file.”
“Obama to Present Unicorn Farts as Public-Health Hazard” says the Wall Street Journal.
According to The Guardian: “The first day of the World Economic Forum in Davos was dominated by calls for 2015 to be a year of action on unicorn farts.”
How about columnist Elizabeth Ren-zetti of the Globe and Mail: “Unicorn farting consensus is reached everywhere except in Washington.”
See how hard it must be to read the news when you reject climate science?
Contrary to what you might see in letters sections and on some blogs, there is no real debate among scientists who actually study the matter. When 97 per cent of any group are in general agree-ment, that’s a solid consensus.
The debate comes not with science but with the ideology that sees humans above nature, or at least removed from the “environment,” rather than seeing how we rely upon the air, land and water. We may be on top of the food chain, but we’re still in the chain.
More than that, the discovery that the unfettered capitalism that gives us so much and serves as the foundation of the neoliberal style of government we all live under is also the cause of warming the world’s climate is, well, as Al Gore’s movie put it: really, really inconvenient.
The science is mostly understood, the consensus among those who study the subject is there, but the solutions frustrate those who don’t like regulation or restraints on industry or consumer behaviour.
Those who spend enormous amounts of time denying accepted science do so either because they have been duped by organizations like the oil-industry fund-ed Heartland Institute, or they simply agree with the Heartland spin on reality to further the neoliberal agenda.
It’s pretty simple, but it must be so frustrating for them.
Most mainstream newspapers are now ignoring skeptics and deniers alto-gether. Alan Rusbridger editor of The Guardian wrote: “For the purposes of our coming coverage, we will assume that the scientific consensus about man-made climate change and its likely effects is overwhelming. We will leave the skeptics and deniers to waste their time challenging the science. The main-stream argument has moved on to the politics and economics.”
So rather than criticize, let’s spare a thought for the poor climate change denier, wracked with the daily frustra-tion of trying to dismiss broadly accept-ed science while the rest of us consider ways to deal with it.
Feel for the skeptics as they grind their teeth and clench their fists reading the news. You know how it is when you are fixated on something; they must smell unicorn farts everywhere.
Climate change and unicorn farts
OUR VIEW
In Field of Dreams, a mysterious voice from the corn-field whispers to Kevin Costner, “If you build it, they will come.”
But that’s a movie. In reality supply follows demand, not the other way around. The voice from the cornfield shouldhave been whispering “If you want it, you must use it.”
Chilliwack isn’t a big enough city for retailers to match every whim of shoppers. If you are after the $10,000 gold-plated Apple iWatch, you aren’t likely to find it at a local retailer. But local retailers can meet the majority of shoppers needs and desires.
That won’t be true, however, if shoppers head online, to neighbouring cities, or down across the border in search of bargains that often don’t turn out to be as good a deal, once you start adding in travel or shipping costs.
If we want to be able to shop for more than just the basic necessities of life, it’s up to us, the consumer. Shop-ping local helps local businesses to thrive and encourages more to locate here.
But shopping local isn’t something we do just to line the pockets of store owners. Spending your dollars locally means not only supporting the business you are purchas-ing from, but their families, as well as their employees and their families and all the businesses those people shop at.

Ban banning of Reality bookEditor:
Re: On the Chilliwack school board rejection of The Magic of Reality: How We Know What’s Really True by Richard Dawkins
Richard Dawkins, Oxford pro-fessor of evolutionary biology, is arguably the foremost expert in his field. Modern biology is based on evolutionary theory and genetics. The fact that Dawkins is an atheist is not relevant. The issue is sci-ence—not religious faith. The fact that 93 per cent of his colleagues in the National Academy of Sciences are also atheists should provide a clue that science and religion are deeply incommensurable fields of discourse.
Anyone with a scientific world view seeks a natural explanation for natural phenomena. An atheist is merely someone who does not believe in god or gods; it does not imply any particular political or ideological position.
There are few modes of human thought less congenial and more corrosive of religious faith than science. Perhaps Christians should reflect on the fact that so many of these highly respected and intelli-gent people in the National Acade-my don’t believe in God?
I recently bought The Magic of Reality for my 11-year-old grand-daughter in Ohio to provide her with some understanding of what science is, how it works, and why it is so successful. The book is a riveting read for people of all ages. Richard Dawkins’ passion for sci-ence and reason has never been more evident than in this work.
I also highly recommend all his earlier works on science in addi-tion to his most recent publication, his autobiographical Appetite for Wonder: The Making of a Scientist.
Dawkins ruffled many religious feathers with his best seller The God Delusion and this seems to have affected the reception of his prior and subsequent publications. But Christians should avoid the mistake of seeing scientific prin-ciples as some kind of heresy. The project of science is not concerned with scripture, the supernatural or faith; it deals, rather, with evidence, facts and patterns found in the nat-ural world. Public and repeatable demonstrations are the basis of sci-entific inquiry—not the personal testimony grounded in faith that is the foundation of all religion.
I grew up in B.C. public schools at a time when we were subjected to morning rituals of the Lord’s Prayer and Bible readings. One morning in my Grade 6 class I foolishly decided to ask my teach-er why we had to endure these practices, which I found extremely boring and abstruse. My teacher flew into a rage, I was sent to the
principal’s office and received the standard punishment of 10 on each hand.
My crime it seems, was curiosity.The most important aptitude our
students require is to know how to know, by which I mean how to acquire genuine knowledge in the form of justified true beliefs. This entails logic, critical thinking, skep-ticism and a sound understanding of the scientific enterprise. Euripid-es once said, “Man’s most valuable trait is a judicious sense of what not to believe.” Richard Dawkins, in his magnificent book The Magic of Reality, takes the inquisitive student on a luminous intellectual journey espousing these intellectu-al virtues.
What really needs to be banned is the banning of any book.

Is CPP just a legal Ponzi scheme?Editor:
Anyone planning for retirement should note the following: The only thing wrong with the government’s calculation of available CPP is that they forgot to figure in the people who died before ever collecting a CPP cheque.
Where did that money go?Remember, not only did you
and I contribute to CPP but your employer did, too. It totalled 15 per cent of your income before taxes. If you averaged only $30,000 over your working life, that’s close to $220,500. Read that again. Did you see where the government paid in one single penny?
We are talking about the money you and your employer put in a government bank to insure you and I that we would have a retire-ment cheque from the money we put in, not the government. Now they are calling the money we put in an entitlement when we reach the age to take it back. If you calculate the future invested value of $4,500 per year (yours and your employer’s contribution) at a simple 5 per cent interest (less than what the government pays on
the money that it borrows), after 49 years of working you’d have $892,919.98.
If you took out only three per cent per year, you’d receive $26,787.60 per year and it would last better than 30 years (until you’re 95 if you retire at age 65) and that’s with no interest paid on that final amount on deposit. If you bought an annuity and it paid four per cent per year, you’d have a lifetime income of $2,976.40 per month.
The folks in Ottawa have pulled off a bigger Ponzi scheme than Bernie Madoff ever did.
Entitlement my foot, I paid cash for my CPP. Just because they borrowed the money for other gov-ernment spending, doesn’t make my benefits some kind of charity or handout.

Chiefs thankful for amazing supportEditor:
On behalf of everyone in the Chilliwack Chiefs organization—players, coaches, owners, manage-ment, staff and volunteers—may I offer our most sincere thanks to the thousands of Chilliwack hockey fans as well as our many sponsors and suppliers who supported the Chiefs this past season.
While we saw a terrific improve-ment in our on-ice record—from last place to Mainland Division Champions in just one season—we also enjoyed the largest average attendance of all Junior A clubs, not just in B.C., but all across Can-ada.
Personally I want to thank those same players, coaches, staff and volunteers for an outstanding performance in making Prospera Centre a great place to be on hock-ey nights.
“Chiefs Hockey – Chilliwack’s Team” is an advertising slogan that is quickly becoming a fact. Recruiting for next season’s team is already well underway and I have great confidence that Head Coach Jason Tatarnic and his terrific staff will deliver an even better team come September.
We look forward with excitement to being able to greet our many fans—from season ticket holders to single game buyers—as we con-tinue to build toward our vision of being “The Best Junior Hockey Club in North America.”
We also appreciate the excellent coverage of the Chiefs each week in the Chilliwack Times.
Thank you all very much.Glen Ringdal, President
Chilliwack Chiefs Hockey Club

BY VERN TOMPKE
Vineyard Community Church
As one of the Christian pastors behind this local column, I, along with
my colleagues, attempt to write respectful, yet thought provok-ing articles that communicate both to “church people” and “non-church people” alike.
I also realize that in the desire to not appear that Christians have a monopoly on “faith,” this paper has also taken the oppor-tunity to invite those of differing belief systems to write articles providing alternate worldviews. I applaud the paper for this, especially since respectful con-versations around faith are what we need more of, not less.
It has been pointed out to me, however, that some of these articles read more as “count-er-Christian” attacks that do not show the same respect or tol-erance in return. A few of them (certainly not all) seemed to be primarily concerned with paint-ing people of faith, and espe-cially Christians, in a completely negative light.
To be honest, my first reaction when I read these articles is to respond in a defensive fash-ion. After taking a deep breath, however, I realize that if we as Christians have become clear targets, we need to first take responsibility for how we have painted the targets on ourselves.
It’s not just skeptics who can point out how we have failed to represent the Jesus we say we follow. Phillip Yancey, an evangelical Christian, writes in his book, Vanishing Grace, how Christians have tarnished their credibility both historically and currently.
According to Yancey, when a poll of college students was asked to write the first thing they think of when the word “Christian” comes to mind the top answer was “people who don’t practice what they preach.” While 84 per cent said they personally knew of at least one committed Christian, just 15 per cent thought there was any significant difference in their lifestyle from the norm.
Frankly, I read with sadness some of the letters to the editor
that “Christian people” write. When some people had the temerity to suggest that “Christ-mas” wasn’t the best name for the winter holiday, in charge the “defenders of the faith” telling people they need to go back to “where they came from.” When the paper wrote about the young gay couple who had adopted children in Chilliwack, this paper had to go as far as offering an apology for even printing some of the vitriolic letters that some wrote in the name of “Christianity!”
Listening to some “Christians,” it seems to me that they are angry and resentful that their worldview no longer dominates the marketplace of ideas. I say to my fellow Christians . . . “Get over it!”
Here’s a challenge to those of us who call ourselves “believ-ers”—let’s learn to live like the early Christians who also faced a secular (and often hostile) society yet irrevocably changed their world around them by their lifestyle.
Although I can’t speak for every pastor or every person
who calls themselves a Chris-tian, I do believe that I represent many local pastors and churches who would like to say “we are sorry.” Sorry for the way the church (and those in it) have failed to represent the grace of Christ to the rest of you.
I do believe that there are still social issues that we do need to talk about in respectful ways. Whether you see yourself as Christian, Wiccan, Skeptic or somewhere in between, we all are grappling with life’s basic questions. Of course, I believe that Jesus offers answers to these questions, but many have stopped listening to those who claim to be his followers. A chunk of that is our fault. Per-haps with a little more listening, a healthy dose of humility, and a whole lot more basic respect on our parts, we as Christians will become less of a target and re-earn the right to be invited back into these conversations.

chiefsextra
With Nanaimo’s win over the Penticton Vees last Thursday, Chilliwack hockey
fans let out a collective sigh of frustration, many unhappy with the round robin playoff format that created the anticlimactic end to an exciting season.
Though the Chiefs were stopped before they could reach a provin-cial championship opportunity, their improvement over last season was monumental.
In the playoffs, Chilliwack ploughed through their division winning the Mainland champion-ship in only nine games.
Their only loss in the first two rounds was against Coquitlam—away and in overtime.
Last year, the Chiefs season was over before playoff action even started, finishing with a 14-37-2-5 record compared to this year’s reversal of 37-17-1-3.
Here’s what the Chilliwack Chiefs players and staff say was their most memorable moments of the eventful 25th anniversary 2014-15 season.
“My great-est memory of the sea-son was the multiple times when the team came from behind to snatch vic-tory from the jaws of defeat and earn the title
of ‘Cardiac Kids.’”Glen Ringdal, president and
director of business development
“It is tough to pinpoint one moment as, ‘the most memora-ble.’ In a season with hot and cold streaks, there were many moments that will stick with me as I move on. One aspect throughout it all that kept consistent was the camaraderie amongst the players. Since training camp, everyone got along well and we stayed tight throughout it all. Even through the tough times, we stayed close. And finishing the season as division champions proves how much of a team we really were. Although it is
tough when a season ends, I am thoroughly pleased with how the season went and am happy I was able meet the people that I met. It was a season
to remember and I would have to thank the players for that.”
Eric Roberts, captain and defenceman
“My favourite memory happened at the Chiefs year end banquet. Cam Janzen had an emotional goodbye speech that once again showed
how tight the Chiefs family has been for 25 years. I also have many positive memories of the players giving back to the community this season. I am very proud of the hard work the players did off the ice in Chilliwack.”
Barry Douglas, marketing and sales manager
“The most mem-orable part of the season was Pasta-da-Puck. We have the best fans in the league and it was an absolute pleasure getting to
know many of them at that event. The fans here will always have a special place in my heart and I hope future teams I play for have just as positive and loyal of a fol-lowing. Winning the Mainland division was pretty cool.”
Jake Larson, forward
“My memorable moment was the last regu-lar season home game and the end of the game when Jordan Kawaguchi handed me the puck as
it was my last regular season game as a Chief.”
Cam Janzen, trainer
“Novem-ber 8 versus Langley. First mas-sive crowd of the sea-son with 3,023 fans in attendance and we routed the Rivermen 7-1. For me it was more
about the crowd. They were really into the game and loud. It was an unreal atmosphere in the rink.
Game four of the Coquitlam series. Two fan buses to the game plus many more who drove down on their own. It was a home game on the road for the boys. Again we won by a large margin that night.
Within the office a young boy got a paper route so he could buy Chiefs season tickets. That is very cool.”
Andrea Laycock, office manager
“The home game against Trail. Chiefs are losing 7-3 with nine min-utes left. There’s a time out and shortly thereafter coach Tatar-nic pulls the
goalie the Chiefs come back to tie the game in the last minute and win it in overtime!”
Jason Denham, trainer

national volunteer week
Half of all Canadians con-tribute their time, energy and skills to charitable groups and non-profit
organizations volunteering more than two billion hours annually.
Volunteering is integral to the Canadian way of life and the contin-ued sustainability of countless orga-nizations across the country. That’s why April 12 to 18 Chilliwack will recognize its thousands of volunteers during National Volunteer Week.
“The YMCA has more than 1,000 active volunteers. We simply couldn’t do what we do without their passion, talent and dedication. The Y is able to make a real impact in people’s lives because of the role that vol-unteers play in giving back to their neighbourhoods and communities,” says Karen Bester, director, Chilli-wack Family YMCA.
Volunteers and the act of volun-teering bring multiple benefits to organizations, communities and people. Organizations receive enor-mous contributions of time, talents and skills.
“Volunteers are the backbone of our organization. Without the hun-dreds of volunteers that donate their time, skills and efforts every day, Cyrus Centre would not be possible,”
says Leah Froese, director, Cyrus Centre Chilliwack.
Communities are healthier and more cohesive through active citizen engagement. People receive import-ant services from volunteers, and, through volunteering, people gain experience, improve their employ-ment and educational options and have a greater sense of belonging and well-being.
“Volunteers form the backbone of many charities and non-profit organizations. Chilliwack is blessed to have their compassionate enthu-siasm and service, making our com-munity a better place,” says Tim Bohr, Community Ministries Director, The Salvation Army Care & Share Centre.
“The Salvation Army in Chilliwack joins many other worthy organiza-tions in expressing our most sincere thanks to these precious individuals for their vital support. We would be unable to feed the hungry, clothe the cold, provide shelter to the homeless, and hope to the hurting without our volunteers.”
The recent Global Volunteer Con-ference addressed the vital role of volunteers in an increasingly polar-ized and fragmented world, calling on all sectors to make volunteering a priority and to recognize the con-
tribution of volunteers in making the world a better place. Canadians con-tinue to rise to this challenge, gen-erously volunteering more than two billion hours annually—the equiva-lent of 1.1 million fulltime jobs.
In 2010, about one-half of Cana-dians contributed their time, energy and skills to groups and organiza-tions such as charities and non-prof-its. They provided leadership on boards and committees; canvassed for funds; provided advice, counsel-ling or mentoring; visited seniors; prepared and delivered food; served as volunteer drivers; advocated for social causes; coached children and youth. In short, they shaped their communities and enabled non-prof-it organizations to deliver programs and services to millions of their fel-low Canadians.
“People volunteer for a number of different reasons, to give back, to be helpful, to make a difference or gain experience. Whatever the reason—the network of volunteer organiza-tions in Chilliwack works very hard to provide the right fit for people in our community, making it one of the best places to live in the Lower Mainland,” says Cari Moore, Co-or-dinator of Volunteer Chilliwack, Chilliwack Community Services.
April 12 - 18
It’s all about the volunteers
“The YMCA has more than 1,000 active
volunteers. We simply couldn’t do what we
without their passion, tal-ent and dedication. The Y is able to make a real impact in people’s lives because of the role that
volunteers play in giving back to their neighbour-
hoods and communities.”- Karen Bester, director
Chilliwack Family YMCA
“Volunteers are the backbone of our
organization. Without the hundreds of
volunteers that donate their time, skills and
eff orts every day, Cyrus Centre would not be
possible.”- Leah Froese, director
Cyrus Centre Chilliwack
“Volunteers form the backbone of many
non-profi t organizations. Chilliwack is blessed
to have their compas-sionate enthusiasm and
service, making our com-munity a better place. The Salvation Army in Chilliwack joins many
other worthy organiza-tions in expressing our most sincere thanks to these precious individ-uals for their vital sup-port. We would be un-
able to feed the hungry, clothe the cold, provide shelter to the homeless, and hope to the hurting without our volunteers.”

› National Volunteer Week
Volunteer Symposium April 16Opportunity for volunteers to connect with their peers
On April 16 the Volun-teer Network Group of the Upper Fraser
Valley hosts a training and networking volunteer sym-posium at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre—an amazing opportunity for volunteers interested in developing their skills and abilities.
This day-long event includes lunch and runs from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., covering topics like diversity, boundaries, expectations, self-care and being part of a team.
The Volunteer Symposium developed as a way for the Volunteer Network Group of the Upper Fraser Valley to celebrate all the fantastic vol-unteers in the Fraser Valley region as a part of National Volunteer Week.
Wanting to thank these amazing people by providing an accessible day of training and networking, the day is open to all Upper Fraser Valley volunteers, providing them with the opportunity to gather with other organiza-tions and discuss pertinent
issues. If you volunteer with an
organization in Chilliwack, Agassiz, Hope, or the sur-rounding area, this event is built especially for you.
Speakers for this event include Janet Hutchinson from the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve, Cari Moore from Volunteer Chilliwack, Pam Logan from the Canadi-an Cancer Society, Marjorie Perzow, a volunteer with the Chilliwack Hospice Society and Theresia Reid from the Chilliwack Cultural Centre.
Following last year’s hugely successful event, this year promises to be better than ever—and a wonderful opportunity for local volun-teers to connect with their peers, as well as expand their knowledge and skill sets.
◗ Registration is $10 and includes lunch, payable in cash or cheques made out to Chilliwack Community Services. To register call 604-793-7203 or email [email protected]. Registration cut off is April 9.

Chilliwack’s Cheam Vaulters opened their equestrian vault-ing season with a trip to Lynden,
Wash. March 27 to 29 to compete in the Vault into Spring Fest.
In team vaulting (six vaulters, four minute routine with up to three vault-ers on the horse at a time) three groups earned top points for blue ribbons in their respective classes. Team Epica
won in the highest canter division (A Team) performing a masquer-ade-themed freestyle mounted on Rosie; Team Justice won their debut performance in the intermediate canter team class (B Team) with their
super heroes-themed freestyle also aboard Rosie; and Team Wonderland used a classic Alice in Wonderland theme for their first place freestyle in the trot team category on Cetoma.
In individual competition Cheam
head coach Alisa Schmidt tallied up the top scores of the competition, tak-ing first place overall in the advanced individual canter level (gold). At the intermediate canter level (bronze), Cheam’s Kayden Bousfield was first
overall in the men’s division. Cheam’s youngest and newest
vaulters swept the top four spots in the compulsory walk class: Sydney Moor-house was first followed by Railey Bird in second, Trinity Smadello in third and Sophie Horvath in fourth spot. Bird also went on to perform freestyle to take top honours overall in the walk division.

Q: Last summer an aphid infes-tation prevented me sitting on my apartment patio. It gets a little sun in late afternoon when surround-ing buildings don’t block it. Most plants are in pots, but most of the sun shines on a small patch of dirt that includes peonies, roses, lav-ender, clematis, a tree and some boxwoods. I have tried environ-mentally friendly things, chemicals and wasted money on ladybugs that flew away after they were full.
I want to be able to enjoy my garden when days get sunny and warm. It’s a lovely spot in the mid-dle of an urban jungle of noise and people.
Virginia EdwardsVancouver
A: Surrounded by concrete and asphalt you likely have a major lack of aphid predators.
I wonder what birds (if any) visit your area. Hummingbirds eat aphids but I’m sure there wouldn’t be enough food or flowers to keep birds around for long. A container pond might attract a wide variety of birds—but it could be all you’d get was pigeons.
I think a better tack would be focusing on plants that aphids don’t like.
I wonder if your lavender ever
gets aphids. Mine never have, nor my artemesias, rosemaries, santolina nor any of the Meditera-nean-type aromatic herbs. Alliums/garlic seemed to be resistant too.
The key to attracting aphids seems to be tender leaves and shoots. Once they’ve found these, they may gradually move to stern-er fare if it’s available close by. But aphids seem not to feed on strong-smelling, shrubby plants, though shrubs can be a favourite over-wintering site.
Since high-nitrogen fertilizer encourages excessive tender growth, you would be better to focus on balanced fertilizers (all three numbers the same).
If you have any ant nests in your patch of soil it would be best to try to eliminate them. That’s because ants actually carry aphids up plants in spring so that they can “farm” them for the sweet substance aphids excrete.
There are a gazillion kinds of aphids. I do hope yours are the
green ones that can be blasted off by hose. The black ones are so sticky the only resource can be to prune those branches off.
Many aphids overwinter as eggs on shrubs, often in the crevices between buds and the stem. In winter it would be best to examine your shrubs, your tree and espe-cially the boxwoods. Being ever-green, the boxwoods would be a wonderful, warm place for the eggs to shelter—and very hard for you to examine.
It might be best to cut your clematis about a foot (30cm) from ground level after flowering. Clem-atis handle pruning well. Your rose could handle a good pruning too. This will make your inspection work easier.
Some aphids overwinter in plant debris in the top inch of soil. Removing this layer in pots and garden and replacing it with fresh soil or compost could help a lot
It’s very sad to give up plants that you love. You may need to decide which matters most to you: fewer aphids or fewer of your favourite plants (boxwoods perhaps).◗ Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions via [email protected]. Please add your city or region.

Mother Nature provides plenty to grow healthy
lawns, gardens and landscapes. But as many homeowners know, some lawns sometimes need a little extra boost to complement nature. Soil sometimes must be amended so plants can thrive. Only after the right composition is created can plants take root and perform to the best of their abilities.
The Colorado State Uni-versity Extension defines a soil amendment as any material added to soil to improve its physical prop-erties. The goal is to pro-vide a better environment for roots. Depending on what you are starting with, any number of ingredients must be added to the soil recipe. Water retention, permeability, drainage, aeration, nutrients, and water infiltration are some of the things amendments can improve when added to soil.
Before homeowners add anything to the soil in their yards, it is first important to determine what that soil needs. Homeowners may notice if soil is overly sandy or full of clay, but further testing can confirm what the soil is lacking. Speak with a nursery or garden centre about where you can get your soil tested. A com-prehensive test may cost between $5 and $10 and can provide invaluable information that saves you hundreds of dollars in wasted plants and materials, not to mention effort. Some labs also can tailor their recommenda-tions based on the type of planting you will be doing. For example, a vegetable garden may need different amendments than a row of azalea bushes.
Organic matter is a preferred soil amendment used by professional and novice gardeners alike. The decaying remains of plants release nutrients that are absorbed into the soil and used by micro-organisms and bacteria, creating a healthy environ-ment for plants. Organic material may break up compacted soil to increase drainage. In sandy soil, organic material serves as a sponge to keep water from washing away. Com-post and manure are two examples of frequently used organic materials. Both of these materials are readily available at little cost.
Compost can be pro-duced at home from food and plant scraps. Raked leaves and small amounts of grass clippings can be added to compost. Over
time, the decomposition process will turn scraps into a nutrient-rich, dark brown substance that pro-vides many plants with all they need to thrive. Com-post is particularly useful in vegetable gardens.
Manure should come from herbivores, or those animals that sustain them-selves on grass and other plants. Carnivores can
produce harmful bacteria in their waste, which is not safe to use in gardens, particularly food-bearing gardens. Manure can be commercially purchased, or avid gardeners can work out arrangements with nearby livestock owners and farms. These people may be more than willing to give you manure for little to no cost if you
cart it away. Dried manure is preferred because it will have minimal odor.
Additional forms of organic amendments include wood ash, sphag-num peat, wood chips, sawdust, and worm drop-pings.
Inorganic amendments also may be used, and are usually relied on to improve water retention and drainage. Vermic-ulite, perlite, pea gravel, and sand are examples of inorganic amendments. A combination of organic and inorganic amend-ments can create the per-fect mix for your needs.
Soil amendments typ-ically are added to new and unplanted beds. Peat moss and shredded bark take years to decompose and will serve as long-term amendments in the soil. Compost breaks down quickly and may need to be worked in more frequently.
Experts recommend spreading amendments on the planting bed and then using a rake or tiller to work it in to a depth of about nine inches. Par-ticularly sandy soil or soil with a lot of clay may need more amendments.

Not hearing clearly when many people are talking?Many people find that they are no longer able to understand everything, particularly when in the company of others. Engineered in Switzerland, System Audéo V has been designed specifically to understand in group situations.
The majority of those surveyed stated that when exposed to considerable background noise they are able to hear that something is being spoken, but can no longer discern precisely what is being said. The words seem blurred and indistinct. But why is that? The effect tends to manifest itself in company, or in the restaurant. It is the high-pitched tones perceived at the entrance to the cochlea that are decisive when it comes to hearing things accurately. In the majority of cases these parts of the inner ear are the first to be affected by noise or aging. As the high-pitched tones are no longer perceived well, the auditory center of the brain begins to struggle to decode language. It’s a bit like an image that doesn’t have enough pixels.
New hearing chip developed
Swiss audiologists have developed a new hearing chip that is designed to restore speech comprehension, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can test the new Audéo V system by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. The test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The chip recognizes where the person being spoken to
is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation. Interested people can register for a no-obligation demonstration of the Audéo V by calling 888.408.7377

If eager backyard gardeners weren’t already turn-ing soil and getting their hands dirty in the mild late winter in Chilliwack, they are really ready now
that spring is here in full force.And while the growing season means different
things for different gardeners, for the folks at Food Matters Chilliwack it’s time to kick off the annual Plant A Row, Grow A Row (PARGAR) program.
This year the beneficiaries of the program are vis-itors to Ruth and Naomi’s Mission. The downtown homeless shelter will receive food from those who participate in the PARGAR program for evening meals and weekly hampers.
For those who haven’t participated or heard of it, PARGAR is a program that builds on the age-old tradition of gardeners taking a little of that extra backyard vegetable bounty to share with someone in need.
The program isn’t new in Chilliwack and organiz-ers say they’ve seen a dip in donation totals in recent years so they are hoping to turn that around in 2015.
This year’s PARGAR kickoff is Saturday, April 25 from 1:30 to 4 p.m. at the Ruth and Naomi Mission Community Gardens (downtown Chilliwack on Yale Road on the old Paramount site). There will be the usual plant sale, gardening workshops and free garden starter seed kits for the first 75 attendants. At 2 p.m. local master gardener Jack Kouwenhoven will host a workshop followed by iconic B.C. gardening expert Brian Minter at 3 p.m. There will also be a silent auction and activities for kids.
Everyone is welcome and admission is by dona-tion. For more information on PARGAR look them up on Facebook or email [email protected].

The controversial genetically modified apple devel-oped by an Okanagan company (and reported in the Eaten Path on May 29, 2014) is ready for
human consumption, according to Health Canada.The non-browning, Arctic® apple produced by
Okanagan Specialty Fruits is the first ever genetically modified (GM) fruit approved in Canada, this on the heels of approval in the U.S.
And the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network (CBAN) is not impressed.
“Our government is not listening to Canadians,” said Lucy Sharratt of CBAN. “Fruit growers had asked the government not to approve this GM apple and polls show that a majority of consumers don’t want it on grocery store shelves.”
According to Health Canada, their scientists “deter-mined that the changes made to the apple did not pose a greater risk to human health than apples cur-rently available on the Canadian market.”
The agency said the science behind the apple is simple.
“A gene was introduced into the Arctic apple that results in a reduction in the levels of enzymes that make apples turn brown when sliced,” says a posting on the Health Canada website. “In every other way, the Arctic apple tree and its fruit are identical to any other apple.”
But Teresa Lynne of Society for a GE Free BC says it misleads consumers because the apple will look fresh even when it is not.
“The GM apple threatens the reputation of apples as fresh, wholesome food. We don’t need it.”
The apple will not be required to be labelled as genetically modified, however the company has indi-cated it will have the Arctic apple sticker so consumers will know what they are buying.
With approval, test markets may likely see the fruit as early as 2016.

Ken Ludwig is an international-ly-acclaimed playwright whose
work has been performed in more than 30 countries in over 20 lan-guages.
He has had six shows on Broad-way and six in London’s West End. His first play on Broadway, Lend Me A Tenor, which the New York Times called “one of the two great farces by a living writer,” won two Tony Awards and was nominated for seven.
He has also won two Laurence Olivier Awards (England’s high-
est theatre honour), the Charles MacArthur Award, two Helen Hayes Awards, the Edgar Award for Best Mystery from The Mystery Writers of America, the SETC Distinguished Career Award, and the Edwin Forrest Award for Services to the American Theatre.
His plays have been commis-sioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Bristol Old Vic.
His other best-known Broadway and West End shows include Crazy For You (five years on Broadway, Tony and Olivier Award winner for Best Musical), Moon Over Buffalo, Leading Ladies, Twentieth Century, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Game’s Afoot, The Fox on the Fair-
way, Midsummer/Jersey, The Three Musketeers, Treasure Island and The Beaux’ Stratagem and Baskerville.
His plays have starred Alec Bald-win, Carol Burnett, Lynn Redgrave, Mickey Rooney, Hal Holbrook, Dixie Carter, Tony Shalhoub, Anne Heche, Joan Collins, and Kristin Bell.
His book How To Teach Your Children Shakespeare is published by Random House, and his work has been published by the Yale Review. He is a McCarter Theatre/Sallie B. Goodman Fellow, and he has degrees from Harvard, where he studied music with Leonard Bernstein, Haverford College and Cambridge University.
The inspiration for The Fox on the Fairway, about a madcap golf tournament, has an office just
down the hall. WJLA’s Arch Campbell has been playing golf with Tony-nom-inated playwright Ken Ludwig for the duration of their 20-year friendship, and when Campbell was first asked about it, he said they were both terrible.
“I might have shot 90, and he might have shot 100,” says Campbell of their last meeting. “I started out with a birdie. It all went downhill from there. We walk around out there, two old guys—he’s not old, I am— joking and talking.”
“Campbell is being modest—he always wins,” says Ludwig.
Their golf traditions include citing the work of author P.G. Wodehouse, who wrote many stories about golf.
“One time he wrote me a letter in the style of P.G. Wodehouse, and with Ken, he and I refer to our clubs in the P.G. Wodehouse style,” says Campbell. “A nine-iron is a niblick, and a seven-iron
is a mashie, a two-wood is a brassy, a three-wood is a spoon.”
So, with their long history of golfing together, did Arch inspire any of the characters?
“Justin is a young version of Arch,” says Ludwig. “He’s a complete wiz-bang at golf, and he’s so sweet. He doesn’t realize how talented he is, he just does what he does, and he does it so well that he doesn’t notice. And he gets the girl in the end.”
Given the chance to trash talk Camp-bell’s game, and this is the best Ludwig could do:
“Arch is so good he would make a saint nervous. He’s so relaxed he can drive you crazy . . . I’d really appreciate it if he got a little worse.”
When asked what audiences should take away from this play, Ludwig responded by saying, “I hope they come away feeling rejuvenated, inspired, and happier than when they went in the door.”

Our season begins to wind to a close this month—but we’re going out with a bang.
Music? We’ve got it. Theatre? We’ve got it. Arts and crafts? We’ve got them. There are dozens of ways to celebrate spring at The Centre, whether you take a class or take in an evening of music.
Our fringe series comes to a grand finale with Who Killed Gertrude Crump? on April 11 and 12. This hilarious romp through the tropes of murder mystery is sure to have you laughing all the way to the end. The brilliantly talented Tara Travis returns to play a dozen characters in this one-woman show—and after the huge success of her show Til Death Do We Part: The Six Wives of Henry VIII last year, we know that Chilliwack is going to love Who Killed Gertrude Crump? even more. This full-sized mystery is a hoot and a half—and audience members are encouraged to sort through the clues and red herrings to solve it them-selves.
Tara Travis and Monster Theatre also bring something for the kids with The Little Prince on April 12. This classic tale narrates the story of a pilot who crash lands in a desert and meets a little prince—a boy from another planet set on exploring the galaxy. This cosmic adventure leads us through asteroids and the stuff of fairy tales—and has a lot to teach audiences of all ages about the meaning of love, loneliness, and sacrifice.
If you’re looking for a little music to brighten your April, we’ve got a killer line-up ready and waiting: Spir-it of the West’s John Mann comes to our Rotary Hall Studio Theatre for an intimate acoustic evening April 17. He brings his most recent solo album to life with unabashed hon-esty, discussing his recent struggles with both cancer and Alzheimer’s.
The Rotary Hall Studio Theatre also plays host to a final morning of classical music with the brilliant and lovely Sarah Hagen, one of Cana-da’s most talented pianists on April 17. With fresh coffee and compli-mentary pastries from Sardis Bakery, there’s no better way to start the day; Sarah leads the audience on a jour-ney through music, stopping to tell the story behind the compositions between pieces.
We also have some amazing classes lined up to start this month, including glasswork, painting, draw-ing, and more. If you’re looking for a new hobby, check out Making Glass Beads, Clay Creators, or Introduction to Drawing—perfect for any begin-ner. Check out our website class list-ings for more information and even more classes—including metalwork, photography, kids’ classes, and so many others.
And while it’s not technically an April event at all, we’re just too excited to wait any longer—the Chil-liwack Art of Wine Festival is headed your way on May 9, and it’s going to be an amazing evening. Think vibrant, local, and award-winning wines; think raffle, silent auction, and live music; think perfectly paired hors d’oeuvres made from the freshest and most local ingre-dients possible. Not only will it be a fantastic night to remember, but all proceeds from this benefit event will pour directly back into arts and crafts programs at The Centre. Never has fundraising been so easy—or so fun. This second annual festival is already close to selling out—so don’t wait to pick up your tickets.
No matter why you find yourself in The Centre this month, don’t forget to take a gander through the gallery. The Chilliwack Visual Artists Association presents Light & Shadow starting April 9, which showcases the work of 10 photographers. This group show is not only a brilliant collection of local art, but an explora-tion of light—and how it affects each moment captured in a photograph. Whether you stop by to purchase tickets or have a few minutes before your class or show starts, be sure to drop by the gallery to check it out.
We’re definitely looking ahead to everything this month holds—and we hope you are too. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to call or drop by. Here’s to a month filled with art, life, and culture.
