and breach of trust for stealing $2,800 from the Chilliwack RCMP exhibit room in 2011.

Diamond the cocker spaniel, drifts in and out of sleep while resting his head on Shanelle McCormick’s lap in their backyard.

“I know he doesn’t look like an agility dog right now,” Shanelle says, stroking the dog’s hair while it rests.

But as soon as his owner gets up, Diamond is alert and ready for what’s next.

McCormick’s daughter Lacy soon has their four-year-old canine jumping, weaving and tunnelling through obstacles set up in the family’s backyard.

Practice is ongoing these days for the Chilli-wack trio as they gear up for this year’s National Dog Agility Champion-ships at Swangard Stadi-um in Burnaby.

“At about 10 months old I started doing agility with Diamond and by 12 months he was already going off leash,” she says. “He’s very excited about it, and he’s also pretty loud.” Diamond confirms that statement moments later when he’s being led through the train-ing equipment.

[email protected]

Visitors to a drug and alcohol treatment facility in the Chil-liwack River Valley

arrive to no gatehouse, no gate and not even a fence.

The first person encountered at VisionQuest at The Creek is as likely to be a client of the facility as a staff member.

On a sunny summer day, some of the men—all of whom are prolific offenders—toss around a football, sit around and chat or simply walk around the large property.

What has caused great con-sternation at city hall, at the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) and among some Chil-liwack River Valley residents, is the fact that there is no supervi-sion and no security at a place that sometimes houses sexual offenders, violent offenders and criminals with gang affil-iations.

As this reporter arrived at the facility a tour was provided by site manager Allen Klassen. Klassen not only works at The Creek, he, like all employees, is a former client.

“I was a pretty functional addict,” he said. “I was smarter than everybody so I got away with stuff so I probably spent a lot less time in jail than a lot of these guys. But after 30 years you get stupider and crazier.”

On July 29, 2013 Klassen got particularly “crazy” while high on crystal meth in New West-minster. He had a knife and police reported he attacked two people on the street before flee-ing into one victim’s house.

“I was in full psychotic mode when I was arrested. So much so they brought out the tactical squad and I couldn’t have even told you they were there.”

But Klassen got help at VisionQuest, he got clean and now he helps other men do the same thing.

Changing livesTouring the seven cabins

of VisionQuest there are men writing, reading, contemplat-ing. There are even men who have admitted themselves to the treatment program.

“I’m just taking each day as it comes,” one self-admitted client said.

“It’s working for me,” said another. “Just gives me time

to explore myself, I guess. To put your head on right.”

Klassen said the goal is to tackle the drug addictions early to stop the revolving door.

“We are trying to help the guys that haven’t been in jail for years, try to nip it in the bud so they don’t have to go through what we went through for 20 or 30 years.”

Over at another building are the spiritual advisors known to the men only as Mama and Papa. Papa carves a large totem pole and talks about how many of the men he helps have been given up on by society.

“They come here completely broken,” Papa said. “Some guys feel like they are here as a get-out-of-jail free card and then they turn their lives around.

“We need a place like this.”

Practical and laudable goalNinety per cent of offenders

serving sentences in provin-cial and federal institutions are addicted to something, be it alcohol or crystal meth or heroin or oxycontin or other substances. Much of the crimi-nality that occurs on the streets of Chilliwack and across British

Columbia stems from these addictions and can be directly attributed to those habits.

So getting at the root cause by tackling the addictions of the Lower Mainland’s most prolific offenders is a solution that is sensible, compassionate, practical and will save taxpayers money, according to Laurie

Throness who is MLA for Chilli-wack-Hope but also Parliamen-tary Secretary to the Ministry of Justice.

“If we want to stop the revolving door that results from addiction then we need to provide people with long-term treatment that leads to recov-ery,” he said.

Stopping crime before it happens is the practical goal of drug treatment and keeping people out of prison saves taxpayers money. There is a fur-ther saving at VisionQuest as it costs just $30.90 a day to house one client while it costs more than $200 a day in a provincial correctional facility.

“We spend over $1 billion a year in our justice system,” Throness said. “If we could reduce this by reducing addic-tion to drugs and alcohol then that would be a huge long-term savings.”

Throness added there is a positive “cost” as well, as recov-ered addicts become contribut-ing citizens.

His position on the direct and indirect cost savings of a place like VisionQuest echoes the sentiments of the facility’s exec-utive director, Jim O’Rourke.

“What we do is we dust you off and we teach you to become a taxpayer,” he said during an interview in his office at the facility. “It doesn’t work for everybody, nothing does.”

O’Rourke is firm about the mission of VisionQuest and unapologetic about the side effects.

“The philosophy of Vision-Quest is this is their one shot of getting better and if they don’t get better the judge has no problem throwing the book at them. This is kind of like last chance for romance. . . . I’m a pretty good bang for your buck and I give you back a taxpayer at the end of the day.”

O’Rourke, as with all the employees who work at Vision-Quest, is a recovering addict and an ex-con himself.

“My convictions were for importation of narcotics and my affiliations were gangs,” he said. “I was naughty. But I hav-en’t broken the law in 24 years and I’m 24 years clean.”

Summer and the runnersWhile tackling the rate of

recidivism, known as the revolving door, is the laudable goal of VisionQuest, one that Throness backs 100 per cent, the City of Chilliwack and the FVRD have grave concerns about sexual offenders, violent

THE LONG ROAD TO RECOVERY

Paul J. Henderson/TIMES

Spiritual advisors “Mama” and “Papa” at VisionQuest at The Creek in the Chilliwack River Valley say the drug-addicted men they deal with are “completely broken.”

“Some guys feellike they are here

as a get-out-of-jail free card and then

they turn their lives around.”

› NewsSmoking ban approved

City council approved a new bylaw regarding smoking in out-door public spaces at their Tuesday meeting this week.

The purpose of the bylaw will be to regulate places where smoking is allowed, therefore reducing the risk of fires as well as second hand smoke.

The bylaw states that smoking will be banned at all parks, play-grounds and outdoor public spac-es, within 15 metres of the entrance to any public pool or ice rinks, within 10 metres of a bus stop and on any trails.

The bylaw will also ban anyone from littering cigarettes, as well as matches or any other burning substances.

Over the past year the fire department has reported a 200 per cent increase in outdoor fires with 134 this year, compared to last year’s 45, and Mayor Gaetz predicts that the bylaw will help reduce those numbers.

“I think the current weather conditions, it’s been obvious to everyone, have pushed it in that direction of trying to protect our trails and our parks,” she said. “You only have to walk down the Rotary Trail right now and see the brown

grass and see how vulnerable that area is to know that that’s not an area for cigarette butts.”

The bylaw will be in effect and enforced 30 days after it’s approval.

Salmon fishing closureAn immediate closure of all

recreational salmon fishing on the Fraser River between the CPR bridge in Mission to the Alexan-dra Bridge, north of Spuzzum was announced by Fisheries and Oceans Canada Friday.

Effective until further notice, the Region 2 closure is due to summer run sockeye salmon estimates and record water temperatures in the river creating a conservation concern.

The Department of Fisheries aims to provide priority to First Nations’ needs and minimize impacts to the sockeye population.

Fishing for trout, sturgeon, steelhead and other non-salm-on species is not affected by the announcement, and Fraser River pink and chum salmon opportuni-ties are anticipated to be open later

in the season “subject to available abundance,” according to the Department website.

Abattoir hearing cancelledTuesday night’s public hearing

for the proposed Brannick Place abattoir rezoning was cancelled as a result of property boundary adjustments, according to a city spokesperson.

After the first reading part of the site in question was sold to a food processor, necessitating a redraw-ing of the perimeter.

To ensure correct procedure, the city rescinded the first reading and will reintroduce it at the Sept. 1 council meeting with the updated boundary information.

The facility would be 22,000 square feet and have a daily pro-cessing capacity of up to 100 beef cows.

The Brannick Place location under discussion for rezoning to accommodate the abattoir is in close proximity to a number of Chilliwack businesses and the Vibe apartment complex on Yale Road.

An Alberta-based industry expert who was hired to assess potential impact of the business said odour would be undetectable to passersby.

offenders and even men with gang affiliations living unsupervised in seven cabins on a property 36 kilometres up the Chilliwack River Valley.

“There are literally hundreds of [RCMP] calls generated from this one facility,” Coun. Jason Lum said. “The crux of our concern is how are you giving us the assurance that you are going to fix the problem? How are you going to solve the problem of the walkaways? You say that you don’t allow sexual offend-ers in your location but . . . the pol-icy side may not be matching up with reality.”

Chilliwack RCMP Superinten-dent Deanne Burleigh confirms there have been a number of cases when her officers have re-arrested VisionQuest walkaways who have a history of sexual offences.

Burleigh also provided statistics to show that there were 432 RCMP files connected to this one facility in the first 27 months it existed up to June 2015. That is 16 per month, or every other day that an officer is called to deal with a problem at VisionQuest.

Usually it’s a “runner.”During a recent visit, both Klas-

sen and O’Rourke didn’t hide the fact that clients take off all the time. Five minutes into a tour, Klassen was asked how many clients were at the facility.

“About 40, less, it’s kind of low right now,” he said. “Summer brings on runners.. . . . It’s a bit of a run back to town and during the winter you don’t get the traffic so you can’t hitchhike.”

O’Rourke confirmed the number that July day the Times visited was 38 at a facility with a capacity for 70.

“In summertime it’s easier to sleep in the park,” O’Rourke said. “In September we’ll be full, soon as it starts to rain.”

Valley resident Jodie Crawford

said she and her family camp in the area, and she is concerned that sexual offenders could we walking loose.

O’Rourke is unapologetic.“We’ve got campers in the val-

ley, guys growing pot down this road, gang members living on the street shooting it up half the night. My guys here are the least of your problems.”

Throness agrees and while he is not happy about the RCMP call volume (and he thinks he has a solution) he said there are nearly 100 drug treatment facilities in B.C. and they are integral as part of the long-term solution to the high rate of recidivism.

“We cannot have 98 communities saying ‘not here.’ These people are here, they are everywhere in B.C. and we have to deal with this prob-lem. VisionQuest is a very isolated place. It’s out of cell range. It is a long way from town. It is a good place to isolate men and treat them.”

A possible solutionCity hall and the RCMP have

argued that criminal record checks of clients at VisionQuest would go

a long way to allay concerns, as long as it meant ensuring sexual and violent offenders were not admitted.

In a May 2015 memo to Mayor Sharon Gaetz about VisionQuest, Burleigh said she “has suggested . . . that it would be beneficial to have clients agree to a criminal record check as part of their acceptance into the VisionQuest program and as part of the decision-making pro-cess for acceptance.”

Both Throness and O’Rourke said this creates privacy issues, but Lum points out that anyone can submit to a criminal record check so why not make clients do so?

Throness said he has been work-ing on a plan that will hopefully get at concerns from the city and the FVRD. That is to work with proba-tion officers who know the entire criminal record of every inmate, and they can determine if some-one is unsuitable to live at a facility with zero security.

“We think that will result in greater public safety,” he said.

Addicts, drugs and no securityBoth city hall and the RCMP

are acutely aware of another issue at VisionQuest, and that is drugs being smuggled in. There is no security at the facility and visitors are not searched when they visit.

O’Rourke said he drug tests his clients every week and if they “test hot,” they are kicked out, but many remain skeptical about this and the Times has heard numerous anec-dotes from family members of cli-ents and from inside the criminal justice system that drugs are rife at VisionQuest.

A source who asked not to be named told the Times he thinks his addicted nephew did more drugs inside VisionQuest than on the outside.

“He was not going to be able to get off drugs in there,” he said. “That place is so tainted with drugs it’s unbelievable.”

One thing all parties agree on is that the system is not perfect, not by a long shot.

Where they disagree is that sup-porters of VisionQuest think it’s helping some men recover, reduce recidivism and save money, while critics say the risk to public safety is too great.

was entirely circumstantial in nature.That circumstantial evidence included the fact

that in one instance in 2011, Tiller deposited 42 $20 bills, 12 $10 bills and eight $5 bills into a bank account, for a total of $1,000. Those denomina-tions precisely matched money missing from an exhibit file.

Two other stolen exhibits—one of $1,000 and one of $800—also were made up of denomina-tions matching exact amounts deposited into Til-ler’s own and her landlord’s bank accounts.

“This is a simple case about a person who stole three cash exhibits and deposited them for her own benefit,” Winn told the jury of nine women and three men in her final submissions.

“Those three cash exhibits matched exactly the three deposits Jaime Tiller made.”

While Tiller was convicted for stealing $2,800 from three files, she was first charged with theft of close to $40,000 connected to 19 RCMP exhibits.

Crown decided it could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt Tiller was responsible for the 16 other missing exhibits.

In her final submissions, Tiller’s defence lawyer Gurpreet Gill said the Crown’s theory had some “serious, serious flaws.” She pointed to the cir-cumstantial evidence of the case—there were no fingerprints or DNA, no witnesses saw Tiller steal the money and investigators could not even say when the cash went missing.

Gill told the jury that it was just as likely anoth-er exhibit custodian, Don Reimer, was the culprit. Despite his extensive experience and his work “straightening out” the exhibit room, Reimer was twice overlooked for a promotion by a supervisor he said did not like him.

Gill argued that Reimer was the one constant in the exhibit room over the period of time the mon-ey was deposited.

“Is it just a coincidence that it was Mr. Reimer who was the last one to touch these cash exhib-its?” she asked.

Final submissions after the three-week tri-al wrapped up Tuesday afternoon, and Justice Miriam Gropper issued her charge to the jury Wednesday morning. By Wednesday afternoon the jury began its deliberations.

City of Chilliwack director of corporate services Rob Carnegie and CUPE local 548 union presi-dent Bryan Bickley, both of whom testified in the case, were in the gallery to hear the verdict Friday.

Sentencing is expected to take place in the fall.

OUR TEAM

When the election was called at the beginning of August, all the polls suggested that we were

looking at a tight three way race with the Conservatives, Liberals and the NDP.

Now, just a few weeks into the campaign, Stephen Harper seems to be battling four leaders: Tom Mulcair and Justin Trudeau of course, but also the premiers of Ontario and Alberta.

There is a long history in this coun-try of provincial parties engaging in ‘fed-bashing’ for electoral advantage, but it is rather more unusual to see a prime minister taunting provincial leaders in a federal election cam-paign. ‘Prov-bashing’ is a new one for me.

Stephen Harper’s feud with Kath-leen Wynne of Ontario has been going on for years, and it is not abso-lutely clear who started it. Senior Conservative ministers like the late Jim Flaherty, John Baird and Tony Clement all came out of Ontario pol-itics, and they didn’t entirely let it go when they entered the federal arena.

But Kathleen Wynne has at least been a willing dance partner. And there’s not much doubt that she has

inserted herself in this election cam-paign and many of Justin Trudeau’s senior campaign advisors come out of her office, but it may have been advis-able for the prime minister to turn the other cheek instead of returning fire.

Rachel Notley, meanwhile, was minding her own business when the prime minister gra-tuitously and without foundation described her policies as “disas-trous.” There is no evidence to draw that conclusion. It is sim-ply far too early for anyone to know how her policies will work out.

But in condemning her policies, Stephen Harper is saying to the voters of Alberta that they made a disas-trous choice in the election just three months ago. And here’s the rub for

Stephen Harper: many of the people who voted for Rachel Notley surely voted for the Conservative Party in the last federal election, especially in Edmonton and Calgary.

The same would be true in Ontario, especially in some of the suburban ridings outside Toronto that Stephen Harper desperately needs to hold if he wants to govern again. It just doesn’t seem like good politics to alienate some of the people who voted for you in the last election.

And Stephen Harper has been here before. Some years ago he found himself in a spat with the feisty former pre-mier of Newfound-land and Labrador Danny Williams, and in the next federal election Stephen Harper’s party was shut out of the prov-

ince completely.People generally do not want to see

the prime minister using their prov-ince as a political pinata. On the con-trary, Canadians expect the federal and provincial governments to work

together to solve problems – health care, social policy and the environ-ment.

When Stephen Harper goes out of his way to criticize some of his pro-vincial counterparts, it creates the opportunity for Justin Trudeau and Tom Mulcair to present themselves as more constructive and cooperative leaders.

I would also suggest that the optics of Stephen Harper feuding with two female premiers is especially prob-lematic. The Conservative Party has a “gender gap” problem. It draws sup-port more from men than women.

By all accounts, this is a very close election. The Conservatives need to get more support from women, if they want to form another government. There are surely better ways to get that support than needlessly picking fights with two of the most important women in the country.

◗ Hamish Telford is an associate pro-fessor in the department of political science at the University of the Fraser Valley. He will write an occasional commentary during the campaign period.

In politics pick your battles carefully

OUR VIEW

Kim Campbell was infamously quoted (or misquot-ed) as saying that a 47-day election was no time to discuss serious issues.

Fortunately, we are in the early days of an election campaign that is almost twice that long, and will stretch on into late October. It’s also unusual to have an election campaign during the height of summer, when the weatheris often top of mind.

So let’s have a debate about global warming.Not whether or not it exists, which has been thoroughly

established. There is a worldwide scientific consensus, and every major political party accepts that it is hap-pening, whether grudgingly or not. There is also ample anecdotal evidence in the form of temperature records that have fallen by the score across B.C. We also have the raging wildfires and water restrictions—though not as severely here as in other regions—to show us what global warming will mean for us on a local level.

Our major opposition parties may be willing to attack the government on the environment, but they are still following rather than leading the debates on energy and climate change.

As usual, it’s up to Canadians to push for the changes we need in Ottawa.

CHILLIWACK TIMES Thursday, August 20, 2015 A9

Editor:One of my favourite movies is

Zorba the Greek (1964). After watch-ing this movie one might be led to believe that the typical Greek is the carefree free-spirited character bril-liantly portrayed by Anthony Quinn. Moreover, the vicious corporate media fear mongering, spin and pro-paganda about “lazy working class Greeks” has contributed to many people’s negative perceptions.

But there is far more to Greece’s problems than cultural norms.

Debt to GDP can be very mislead-ing, especially considering the con-voluted nature of GDP and relevant factors not included in its calculation as a measure of economic health. The situation in Greece is far more complex and insidious. Much of the national debt in Greece, as in other countries, is the result of corpora-tions and wealthy elites paying little or no taxes and the massive bailouts of larcenous banks worldwide in 2008. Most of the bailout debt from

these banks and financial institu-tions was offloaded onto govern-ment balance sheets.

It’s interesting and instructive to examine the Bloomberg list of nations with the largest public debt on a per capita basis. Japan is tops with $100,000 debt per Japanese citizen. The United States is #3 and Greece #12.

It may leave you surprised and perplexed as to why the United States

and Japan are not held hostage and subjected to blackmail and extortion in the same manner as Greece. Sadly, like much of everything else, it’s about power and who wields it.

Democracy and the political pro-cess are being circumvented or even suspended in favour of decisions made in upscale hotel penthouses by a cabal of technocrats represent-ing global finance capital. Politicians are becoming merely useful idiots.

But which country is next on the ECB/IMF financial mafia hit list, subdued and controlled by debt peonage like the Greeks? Spain, Por-tugal, Italy, Ireland? Perhaps soon we’ll all be like the Greeks.

We need to be reminded that capitalism is not synonymous with democracy and never has been. In fact capitalism has flourished as well or better under fascism and other totalitarian systems as it has under our so-called liberal democracies.

BY CURTIS FAST

Yarrow MB Church

In my life I have a number of spiritual mentors. They are people who have walked with Jesus much longer than

I have and assist me to both dis-cern what Jesus is saying to me and help me walk on a healthy spiritual path.

I met with one of them for cof-fee a while ago and he encour-aged me to take my “spiritual temperature.” In other words, how does my life compare to what scripture says a Holy Spirit led life should look like? One way of testing this is to com-pare my life to what Paul writes in Galatians 5:16,22: 

“So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves . . . the Holy Spirit pro-duces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithful-ness, gentleness, and self-con-trol. There is no law against these things!”

The question that I have to

direct at myself is this: is my life producing love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control? If my life is pro-ducing the fruit of the Spirit, that means I am being led by the Spirit. If my life is producing things that are contrasting the fruit of the Spirit, I need to take a close look at what or who is influencing the way I act.

How can you apply this to your own life?

I can be gentle, faithful, lov-ing and joyful when things are going well and I am around people that I like and generally agree with, but what about when conditions aren’t perfect? What about when people disagree with me, or are unfaithful or self-ish in their actions? I don’t know about you but I’m not perfect and I do not always act in a way that shows the fruit of the Spirit; in fact, I don’t think that anyone is able to always act that way on their own.

This is a practical situation where the Holy Spirit can help us in our lives. Jesus told us that

he had to leave so that Father could send us the Holy Spirit, the Counselor who will teach us all things and remind us of what Jesus had taught. Moreover, when explaining the Spirit to his disciples Jesus said “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as

the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled and do not be afraid.”

Jesus loves you and he wants you to live a life filled with peace. He doesn’t promise that life will be easy but he does promise to be there with us. Jesus loves you so much that he gave his life as a sacrifice so that you can be set free and given strength to pro-duce the fruit of the Spirit. If you are not experiencing this sort of freedom in your life I want you to know that you can, maybe just start with this simple prayer:

Jesus save me. “Search me, O God, and know

my heart;Test me and know my anxious

thoughts.See if there is any offensive way

in me,And lead me in the way of ever-

lasting.”Ps. 139:23-24

Good hearing but trouble with conversation?A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out.

A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis. Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells

do not work properly then quiet sounds are no longer naturally amplified in the ear and loud sounds no longer dampened.

This leads to more difficulty in hearing what is said in a lot of situations. If the hair cells have been damaged by noise or blood circulation problems, hearing aids that amplify quiet speech and dampen loud ambient noise can be

Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises.

a good solution for most people.

This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids. This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company. The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background.

Connect Hearing is currently looking to improve hearing for people who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology. We are particularly interested in candidates who have trouble hearing speech in the situations discussed above and can benefit from a demonstration to see whether they notice an improvement.

Interested people can register for a free hearing evaluation and a no-obligation demonstration of the Audéo V hearing aids by calling 1.888.408.7377.

No one, regardless of age, is immune to random bouts

of memory loss. While misplaced car keys or forgetting items on your grocery list are nothing to get worked up over, many men and women over 50 do start to worry about memory lapses, especially when they start to occur with more frequency than they might have just a few years ago. But while memory loss might be quickly associated with aging, increased forgetfulness is not an inevitable side eff ect of getting older, a fact that those at or approaching retirement age should fi nd comforting.

When considering the relationship between memory and aging, it’s important that men and women recognize the distinction between memory lapses and dementia, as the two are not one and the same. As a person ages, his or her hippocampus, the region of the brain involved in the formation and retrieval of memories, often deteriorates. This can aff ect how long it takes to learn and recall information. But just because this process is slower does not mean

it’s a warning sign of dementia, which is the loss of certain mental functions, including memory. Though taking longer to recall information can be frustrating, many people still retain their ability to recall information. In addition, while dementia brought on by conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease or Parkinson’s disease is untreatable, there are things men and women can do to strengthen their memories and reduce their momentary lapses in memory.◗ Start playing games.

Games that test the mind have long been believed to benefi t the brain, though some remain skeptical about the true impact of brain games. However, a University of Iowa study funded by the National Institute on Aging found that brain games may in fact pay numerous and long-term dividends. In the study, 681 healthy volunteers over the age of 40 were divided into four groups. One group played computerized crossword puzzles, and three other groups played a brain training video game from Posit Science designed

specifi cally to enhance the speed and accuracy of visual processing. The volunteers showed less decline in visual processing as well as in other tests that measured concentration, memory and the ability to shift quickly between tasks, and the benefi ts from the training games lasted as long as seven years after training. Brain games are now more accessible than ever before, as players can access such games on their smartphones, tablets, ereaders and computers. And in addition to being

eff ective, the games also provide entertainment value.◗ Alter your routine. Many working professionals recognize that each day tends to have its mundane moments. The brain can grow accustomed to these moments, which

tend to be a routine part of the day. But altering your daily routine can jar the brain awake, forcing it to focus during those times that had become mundane but now present new challenges. Something as simple as alternating driving routes to work from day to day

or preparing some new, yet healthy, breakfast each morning can help the brain stay alert and sharp.◗ Become a social butterfl y. Maintaining a social life as you age is a great way to keep in touch with friends and family.

Memory loss is not an automatic side effect of aging

Staying socially active after 50 can benefi t the brain and even reduce a person’s risk of dementia.

“Barking makes him faster,” Lacy claims.Though both Shanelle and her daughter

will be guiding the same dog, 10-year-old Lacy will be competing in the junior nationals held on Thursday, where the competition is much thinner.

Shanelle estimates she’ll be up against as many as 250 dogs and handlers from around Canada, but Lacy is in a group of only seven handlers in the 12 and under category.

“Very few kids qualify at Lacy’s age,” Shanelle says. “To get titles at that age is really difficult.”

Agility is a demanding sport, she says, because the human guides have to ensure their dog tackles obstacles in the proper order.

“Lacy’s worked very hard to get this good,” Shanelle says. “I think a lot of kids don’t have the perseverance.”

So daughter’s odds are much better than mom’s, they joke together at home.

In their canine sport, the McCormicks have to travel to Abbotsford to attend club gather-ings.

But if Diamond wasn’t reluctant to go under-water and they had more time, they’d have a local option if they wanted to pursue dock div-ing, a growing aquatic dog sport.

And that’s partly because another young Chilliwack canine handler is making waves this summer.

Jessica Cheetham, 19, is manager of the newly opened Starlight K9 Care and Aquatics, a centre on Lickman Road for the jumping and swimming sport.

“She manages all the day-to-day goings on around the kennel, she loves helping people, teaching newcomers the value of swimming for their dogs and introducing them to the sport of [canine] dock diving,” says Cheetham’s

foster mom Katherine Michaloski, owner of Starlight. “She is the heart and drive behind Starlight K9 Care & Aquatics Centre.”

Michaloski saw her plan that started 16 years ago come to fruition when they opened the centre, highlighted by the first event held there in late July.

Fifteen dogs competed that weekend at Starlight, the first North American Diving Dogs (NADD) sanctioned facility in western Canada.

The turnout wasn’t as good as Cheetham and Michaloski expected because the club itself has to compete with other canine activi-ties—Lacy’s favourites, agility and fly ball had tournaments in the region at the same time.

But the owner/manager duo have already

introduced the leaping dog sport to 70 local teams and are attracting others to practice and compete in their centre from Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland and Alberta.

And the sport is inclusive, Cheetham points out. That’s a main reason the pair went with NADD, as they are American Kennel Club (AKC) affiliated, and that organization allows two handlers.  

One handler can hold the dog while the oth-er is free at the front of the dock to call the dog making it easier for families, youth (eight to 17 years old) and handlers with disabilities.

Making the sport accessible to everyone is important to Starlight, but it’s already a straightforward activity to get started in, according to Cheetham.

“If you can get up on the dock and throw a toy for your dog you’ve just entered the sport of dock diving,” she says.

And the benefits to any dog that joins include developing strength, focus, drive, patience and the bond with its owner, accord-ing to the young manager.

While there might be a lot of dog sports in the Chilliwack area, with more popping up to compete for canine enthusiasts’ interest, they all seem to have a few elements in common: exercise for dog and handler, excitement and as Lacy puts it, “just having fun.”

◗ Starlight K9 Care & Aquatics Centre hosts open dock practice on Sundays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. It’s a “first come, first on the dock” for-mat, rotating through the participant list with five minutes on the dock per dog, per round.

It’s been more than 30 years since Trademasters opened in Chilliwack, but it really hasn’t felt that long.

In 1988 Casey Hillton decided to move his small automotive and heavy-duty truck repair business from Chetwynd in northern B.C., to Chilliwack.

Even in 1988, Chilliwack was quite a big change from the small community of Chetwynd.

“Chetwynd was only 3,000 people at the time, so Chilliwack was much larger,” store manager Brenda Hillton (Casey’s wife) explained.

Over time, the Hillton’s small business expanded to include light truck accessories and R.V. repairs - your one stop shop for work and play.

“Over the years we have purchased other businesses to join with our Chilliwack location,” Brenda said. “It’s helped us grow and it’s given more options to the customers in this area.”

But the business wasn’t the only thing that grew. When Brenda moved to Chilliwack, the city was much smaller than it is today.

“It was much slower paced back then,” she said. “It’s a lot bigger and a lot more people now.”

Even the location of Trademasters, off of Evans Road on Yale Road West, has changed drastically over the years.

“Th is road was very industrial and you hardly had any traffi c,” Brenda said. “Now there’s lots of traffi c, lots of new buildings. It’s a very inviting area.”

Chilliwack was a welcoming community, and although the Hilltons initially moved here to be closer to family, Brenda found that it ended up being a great home for their business as well.

“Chilliwack is a very business friendly place and we fi nd that customers really want to shop in their own community,” she said.

Although the Hilltons have enjoyed doing business in Chilliwack, over the years it’s become more than just a home for their company but a home for their family as well.

“I like the fact that it’s community orientated, very friendly people,” Brenda said. “It’s easy to get around. Even when you walk on the trail, everybody says hi. Everybody is very friendly.”

The Westshore Rebels handed vis-iting Valley Huskers opponents their fourth loss in a row Satur-

day at Westhills Stadium in Langford, breaking the BCFC’s winless tie.

Both teams had lost every game going into the afternoon but a domi-nant passing presence from the Rebels pinned the Huskers to last in the league after a 45-14 final.

T h e g a m e looked attainable for either side in the first half after a touchdown per quarter for West-shore, leaving the score 14-0 going into the intermis-sion.

But the home team came out strong in the sec-ond half, scoring 21 points in the third quarter alone.

Rebels first-year quarterback Ashton MacKinnon completed three-quarters of his attempts for 427 of his team’s 542 passing yards.

MacKinnon’s favoured receiver Hunter Lake caught nine of those for 183 yards and a major, and the QB also connected three times with Joe Bark-house for two TDs.

Though the Huskers held their own in the air at last week’s loss to the Langley Rams, Noah Falconer and his receiver squad couldn’t post the num-

bers needed to keep up in Langford.Falconer’s only TD pass of the game

was to Jesse Deering who caught three balls for 77 yards over the afternoon.

However, the Huskers rushing game was on par with their hosts on Satur-day.

Running back Ryan Jackson took 17 carries for 108 yards and a touchdown.

B u t t h e R e b -e l s u s e d t h e i r g r o u n d g a m e more effectively in scoring range, converting three runs into TDs—t w o o f t h o s e r e s u l t i n g f r o m MacKinnon QB runs.

Despite the 31 point margin of defeat (their low-est this season),

the Huskers had defensive stand outs in Tyler McStravic (8 tackles), Connor Smith (7 tackles, 1 pass knock down) and Brenden Atkinson (6 tackles, 1 assist).

After the Rebels loss, Chilliwack’s Valley Huskers have scored 31 points with 233 against the team this season.

They will head to the Apple Bowl this Saturday, Aug. 22 in Kelowna to face the Okanagan Sun for the second time this year.

The Sun won the first matchup earlier in the month at Chilliwack’s Exhibition Stadium 64-0.

Cameron signs with UFVA Chilliwack secondary graduate is among the players in this year’s incoming line-up set to join the University of the Fraser Valley women’s basketball program. Shayna Cameron, the reigning PacWest conference MVP commit-ted to head coach Al Tuchscher-er’s Cascades, returning home after four years at Quest University in Squamish. The former Kermode, now in her final season of eligi-bility, was the PacWest’s female athlete of the year across all sports, the Basketball BC college female athlete of the year and a CCAA All-Canadian—all in the 2015 season. Cameron joins UFV after a CCAA national tournament outing and back-to-back PacWest titles. In 2015, the 5’9” shooting guard averaged 17.4 points, 4.3 rebounds

and 2.6 assists each game. “Shay-na had a fantastic college career at Quest,” said Tuchscherer who starts his 14th year as coach of the team. “She’s a highly skilled player who can shoot the ball and approaches the game with a lot of maturity. Her leadership is going to be instrumental in our success this year.”

Hatherly earns silver medalChilliwack soccer coach Thomas Hatherly helped Team BC win a silver medal in men’s soccer Sun-day in the final match of the 2015

Western Canada Summer Games. Losing 1-0 to Alberta at Syncrude Athletic Park in Wood Buffalo, Alta., Hatherly and his team pitched into the overall winning British Columbian medal count of 280. Though Alberta took gold in men’s soccer, they were second overall with 226 medals when the games came to a close. Team BC’s total was up from the 255 they won at the 2011 Games in Kam-loops when the coastal province also took top place. BC Games alumni represented 44% of Team BC and 147 alumni won or con-tributed to the medal count. The next Games for Team BC are the 2017 Canada Summer Games in Winnipeg, and the next Western Canada Summer Games will be held in Swift Current, Saskatche-wan in 2019.

BY VANESSA BROADBENT

[email protected]

The Greendale Country Sam-pler is back this weekend for a tenth year, with more tours

and samples than ever.Every August the small commu-

nity of Greendale hosts an annual sampler where people from all over the Fraser Valley tour local business-es and farms.

Since its start in 2006, event plan-ner Tanya Walsh has noticed that the event has expanded.

“It started out with a lot of Chil-liwack people coming out, now it’s reaching towards Vancouver,” she said.

Some businesses, like Rustic Soap Co. and Willow Creek Vineyard, have been involved with the event for years, but this year will also

feature new vendors, including the Abundant Acre Family Farm and Pottery by Kelly.

The Chilliwack Corn Maze has been involved with the Greendale Country Sampler since its start.

“There’s lots of wonderful busi-nesses in Greendale,” owner Diane Bruinsma explained. “It just gives people an idea of what’s out there. In one day, there’s so many different places you can stop that are within minutes of each other.”

And not only is the sampler an opportunity to see what Greendale

offers, but Walsh sees it as a way for the community to get to know their local businesses better as well.

“It connects people,” she explained. “We have the Local Har-vest where people can connect with their food and the Chilliwack River Valley Natural Honey where they get to watch the bee demos. It’s con-necting people to the smaller part of the community and to the produc-ers and growers of the area.”

But aside from connecting people to the community, Walsh is excited to showcase Greendale.

“I love living here,” she said. “I think that it’s unique that we can show off the farms and the gardens and the businesses to not just Chil-liwack, but the rest of the Fraser Valley.”

The free event is open to people of all ages, but with plenty of animals and even barrel rides at the Local Harvest, it’s a great day for kids as well.

“I think it’s interesting for the whole family, but it’s neat for the kids too,” Walsh said. “If families don’t want to spend a lot on a family day, it’s a nice outing.”

◗ The Greendale Country Sampler takes place this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. A map can be picked up on the event day at any of the participating locations. For more information visit www.greendale-countrysampler.com.

Wi t h c re d i t s t h a t include lighting,

sound, design, perfor-mance, stage manage-ment, costume, makeup and directing, Lisa Braun has a rich and varied histo-ry in the theatrical arts.

And now she can add yet another title to her resume as Braun has been

named the Chilliwack School of Performing Art’s new artistic director.

Her passion for perfor-mance began before she could even speak—her love of song developed over the years to incorporate 12 years of private vocal training and a voice that carried her to Disneyland

to perform with a vocal jazz group and through the Kootenay Mountains with the distinguished Vivaldi Chamber Choir. A believer in lifelong learn-ing, Lisa is studiously pre-paring to complete her degrees in Psychology/Fine Arts (Theatre) on her way to an MFA.

In October of 1961 Chil-liwack’s Main Street Safeway store opened

during the company’s massive construction pro-gram that saw a multitude of similar looking stores pop up in Canada and the U.S. throughout the early and mid-1960s. The new store replaced a smaller store located on Mill Street. The unique archi-tecture was referred to as the “Marina” style after San Francisco’s Marina Boulevard Safeway Store that debuted in 1959 and is still open today.

Mid-century Safeway stores are very recogniz-able with their unique curved roofline with extensive overhangs (referred to as gull-wing) and full glass store-fronts. The use of glue laminated wood beams was also employed during the supermarket’s construc-tion. This new technology allowed the interiors to be filled with natural light as only small metal beams were necessary to support

the building’s structure. Another piece of modern technology introduced to Safeway stores was automatic doors. These features were meant to enhance the shopping experience while provid-ing one-stop convenience for the consumer.

The former Safeway building on Main Street is representative of the development and expansion of automo-bile-based retailing that occurred after the Second World War. Our growing dependence on vehicles

influenced commercial development in the 1960s in particular, with large chain supermarkets and malls becoming more popular than traditional street-based shopping.

Safeway’s marina-style stores are disappearing from the retail landscape as consumers migrate to mega-sized warehouse style grocery stores. Chilliwack’s Main Street Safeway store closed in 2006 after their new store opened several blocks away. Sadly, many of these mid-century structures

have already met the wrecking ball while others (like Chilliwack’s Safeway) are abandoned and for-lorn—their fate uncertain. Creative types, however, have found uses beyond housing groceries and have re-purposed former Safeway stores for a variety of functions. Some great examples include an auto parts store, car dealership, fitness club, church, out-door equipment store and thrift store, just to name a few examples.

These iconic examples of neighbourhood grocery

stores are becoming a remnant of the past and eventually may endure only in our collective memories.◗ The Heritage Chil-liwack Society is a non-profit, community based initiative estab-lished to engage, advocate for, and promote Chilli-wack’s heritage.
