Chilliwack should have a say in Cultus Lake Park:officialsJennifer FeinbergThe Progress

A petition to alter the rules about who can vote in Cultus Lake Park Board elections received 925 sig-natures.

The longstanding voting struc-ture has created an unfair situation in Cultus Lake Park for residents, stated Sue Lister.

She and husband Gary Lister have been circulating the petition over the past two weeks.

The way it works now, two of the seven-member board are elected by Cultus Lake residents, with the other five commissioners voted in by Chilliwack residents.

The petition seeks to have the Cultus Lake Park Act amended to make it only Cultus Lakers who can elect park board commission-ers. It also requests that the total number of elected commissioners be reduced from seven to five.

But the management and admin-istration of the Cultus Lake Park Board isn’t a one way street, cau-tioned board chair Sacha Peter.

He was reacting to the demand by the petitioners that the province make it only Cultus Lake residents who can vote for park board com-missioners.

“On its face, it seems like a one-sided transaction; all upside and no downside,” he said.

“But we need to take into con-sideration the fact that the lands of Cultus Lake Park have the name of ‘City of Chilliwack’ on title.”

In exchange for the park land that Chilliwack gave to the Cultus Lake Park Board in trust, the peo-ple, the electorate of Chilliwack in other words, get to elect a sizable proportion of the park board every three years.

City officials have finally dealt with a severe hoarding situation involving an elderly home owner near downtown Chilliwack.

Unsightly as well as unsafe con-ditions were cited in a city staff report about the ongoing chal-lenges at 46493 Mayfair Avenue.

Some at city hall are hoping the situation becomes a catalyst of sorts that would see a dedicated task force created to tackle grow-ing numbers of hoarding cases in Chilliwack.

“The City is doing everything in our power to deal with this,”

said Mayor Sharon Gaetz recently, posting on a local Facebook page.

Complaints have come in about rats nesting in the piled garbage, and there were unlicensed vehi-cles and overgrown bushes dis-played in staff report photos.

The property owner is now required to clean up the mess, or the city will take action, and the costs will be added to the tax bill.

Council passed a remedial order requiring the removal of garbage and debris from around the exte-rior of the dilapidated home, and another for the interior to enforce city bylaws and get help for the occupants.

The property in question, with

its overgrown bushes, weeds, and garbage, has been declared a nuisance, and said to be creating a health and safety risk to the occupants and their neigh-bours. Council moved ahead July 16 on the file, approving a ‘Request for Remedial Action’ under Section 72 of the Community Charter.

If the owner wants to contest the order, the issue will go to a show cause hearing, which is like the city’s version of court. The owner was given 30 days to appeal.

Coun. Chuck Stam asked at the council meeting about the possibility of asking for special-ized help from health and social service experts, required when

dealing with mental health issues as mitigating factors.

The matter was also referred to the public safety committee.

Although a two-person Hoarding Response Team is in place serving those in the Vancouver area, there is no similar service available for Chilliwack.

The staff report documented how all the ongoing and extensive efforts to gain voluntary compli-ance from the aged home owner have ultimately failed.

As conditions on the property continue to deteriorate, bylaw enforcement staff have fielded sev-eral complaints.

This is Part 3 of a four-part series on liv-ing with mental illness in Chilliwack. Part 1 examined the impact of housing, and Part 2 the impact of employment, on recovery. Read both previ-ous stories, as well as the introduction to the series, at www.theprogress.com/news/214783141.html

Alina KonevskiThe Progress

Chasity Cormier has a goal: she wants to open an ecotourism wilderness retreat for people with mental illnesses by 2018. Set in an off-grid house in Williams Lake, in B.C.’s interior, the one-of-a-kind retreat would help people who have acknowledged their illness, are manag-ing their medication, and now need to regain their self-esteem.

“You do self-healing and self-awareness through small things — building a fire, snowshoe-ing, ice fishing — without the stress of society,” she said.

But the 38-year-old Chilliwack resident has a steep trek ahead of her in realizing the plan. Ever since she was diagnosed with para-noid schizophrenia at age 30, she has watched some of her independence and social standing slip away.

When she became a patient in the mental health system, she fell under the B.C. Mental Health Act, which allows doctors to treat and hospitalize the mentally ill without their consent. The act is the latest in a long line of historical efforts to keep patients with psychiatric con-ditions on the path to recov-ery. As with other people in her situation, the “certified” mentally ill label has pushed her, by default, to the mar-gins of society. Cormier has been battling to regain some of that independence ever since, all the while resisting the stigma that surrounds mental illness.

Up until she was 27 years old, Cormier was completely healthy. She was working as a grounds keeper at Harrison Hot Springs Resort & Spa, and volunteered with search and rescue.

Then she started becom-ing paranoid. Her mind sped along with thoughts she couldn’t control. She was always anxious, and afraid. Always in the middle of a conspiracy of her own

making. Cormier likens it to being in a scary movie that you don’t want to be in for years on end. At the height of Cormier’s multi-year psy-chosis, she thought people were doing black magic on her. She physically felt the effects, such as her stomach turning. She thought people in a house across the high-way were talking about her. Cormier read up on white magic to counter this, and burned sage and used other tricks to protect herself.

When she had had enough, she would run. Cormier ended up hitchhik-ing between Chilliwack and Nova Scotia twice. She only started to recover when she acknowledged her illness.

She returned to Chilliwack ready to restart her life, but felt shattered.

“After going through psy-chosis, you’re really vulner-able. It’s almost like you’ve been in a car accident, and broken every bone in your body. And people don’t visu-ally see it,” she said.

Paranoid schizophrenia, usually hitting women in their late 20s and men in late teens, is one of the most serious mental illnesses, and one from which psychiatrists say a person can never fully recover. Chilliwack psychia-trist Dr. Nizaar Lilla calls it a

“long-term, seriously debili-tating illness.”

This year, Cormier is well. She lives with her Chihuahua in a one-bedroom apartment in downtown Chilliwack, and supplements her persons-with-disabilities allowance with a 10-hour per week housecleaning business. She is also a peer support worker to other people with men-tal illnesses, helping them recover. She babysits her seven-year-old niece some weekends.

This normality does not come easy for people with mental health issues. Unlike most other illnesses, commu-nity support doesn’t accom-pany mental illness.

“When you’re diagnosed with a mental illness, it’s opposite of cancer,” said Rob Dueck, a mental health worker in Chilliwack. “When you have cancer, you have a heroic fight against cancer. Everyone rallies around you. But I’ve never seen a case where there’s a heroic fight against paranoid schizophre-nia or something. It’s typi-cally the other way around, where everybody leaves you. You lose your house, your job, your sense of security, and are in poverty. And that’s kind of the life you live.”

As Dueck pointed out, call-ing someone “retarded” or

something “gay” has become socially unacceptable. Yet calling someone “crazy” or “insane” is still OK.

Severe mental illness remains a taboo topic in mod-ern society. Few admit their illness to others, and others still may live their entire lives denying their diagnosis to themselves. Life can become lonely.

“It’s a dirty little secret. There’s a lot of people sitting in apartments by themselves, and screaming in pain. They need help,” said Bryce Oostenbrink, who has kept his bipolar diagnosis confi-dential until recently.

Family members can struggle to understand the ill-ness, because their loved one still appears normal from the outside.

“One thing I see a lot of is family members tend to blame the patient for certain symptoms. They feel they should know better. They interpret their behaviour from their own perspective,” said Lilla.

And fiends and family can fall away, or are shut out by the person who is ill.

“People who aren’t men-tally ill don’t want to associate with you. They all think that we’re going to go crazy, and hurt them, or something like that,” said Eric Hunken, a

man living with bipolar and borderline personality disor-der in Chilliwack.

Even within the mental health field, there is a stigma against workers self-identify-ing as having a mental illness for fear of being treated as “one of them.” Very few men-tal health case workers, staff at non-profits, or doctors have experienced mental health issues, or have revealed it publicly. Even Dueck, who works at the Creative Centre Society’s Cheamview Clubhouse, which serves as a social centre for the men-tally ill in Chilliwack, doesn’t openly discuss his battle with depression with other staff members.

This is in contrast to mod-ern treatment of substance abuse, wherein counsellors and case workers often have personally overcome addic-tion. It may even be a job requirement.

For Chilliwack’s mentally ill, it is a common feeling not to be taken seriously by society. Cormier’s ecotour-ism dream may be labelled as a delusion of grandeur by some.

As Dueck said: “When you’re in the system, any-thing you say is invalid. You could say, ‘the sky is blue.’ But you’re diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, and

they’re like, ‘ummm...’”Cormier has experi-

enced this in different ways, such as through a previous job of wait-ressing at a pub where her emotions were not always validated. If she expressed frustration to a colleague about a difficult customer, the colleague would usually assume Cormier was overreact-ing.

She has also fought for years to reduce her anti-psychotic medica-tion. Psychiatrists are reluctant to tamper with dosage levels once they have found a drug that controls a patient’s symptoms, because of the difficulty of match-ing meds to patients. But Cormier knew her previ-ous anti-psychotic pills were too strong, and had terrible side effects. This included memory loss, such as forgetting the ending to a story as she was in the process of tell-ing it. Cormier’s mother had to intervene before the psychiatrist agreed to reduce the dosage.

Cormier has been lucky. Her mom has been

her anchor throughout her illness, and her sister has supported her.

Now, after eight years of learning to live with her diag-nosis, Cormier feels stronger and wants to move forward with her life. But she is still being told she needs to slow down.

“My psychiatrist stresses me out more than any other person I deal with. Because he’s always telling me to back off, and take it easy, too much stress. It makes me question myself, where I’m comfortable working and doing all the things I’m doing,” said Cormier.

Cormier’s dream of open-ing a retreat where people with mental illnesses can heal may seem like a natu-ral recovery program. But despite her experience in managing outdoor envi-ronments as well as sev-eral years of living off-grid, Cormier has a hard road ahead of her to persuade society to trust her with the implementation of an eco retreat.

NEXT WEEK: Part 4 exam-ines the negative side of living with mental illness: what happens when a person lacks adequate housing, employ-ment, and social support?

Thinking Differently Yields RewardsMarket Commentary (July 11, 2013)By Murray Leith, Odlum Brown Vice President and Director, Investment Research

1 The Odlum Brown Model Portfolio is a hypothetical all-equity portfolio, established in December 1994. The Model provides abasis with which to measure the quality of our advice and the effectiveness of our disciplined investment strategy. Investmentreturns do not include any allowance for fees. Past performance is not indicative of future performance.

Investment strategists are busy promoting the virtues of U.S. equities and warning that both theCanadian economy and stock market will struggle due to weakereconomic growth in China. We agree with these common themes, and believe that U.S. stocks will outshine Canadian equities for several years. Still, it is often better to think differently and be ahead of the crowd. We have been talking about today’s popular themes for some time.

In a speech delivered in early 2011titled “Back to the Past to Learn From Stories That Were Oversold” we outlined the reasons to favour U.S.stocks. Our contrarian perspective has yielded pleasing rewards. Since theend of 2010, U.S. stocks have produced a total return of close to 50 percent versus zero return from Canadian stocks. Over the same period, theOdlum Brown Model Portfolio1 has appreciated by about 40 per cent, due tosignificant positions in a number of high quality U.S. companies and limitedexposure to resource stocks.

With the U.S. housing sector in the early stages of recovery, and overallU.S. economic growth accelerating, we think the good times will continue.

Learn how being different can produce better long-term results. Contact Branch Manager Paul Donaldson at 604-858-2455, toll-free at 1-800-663-5251, or visit odlumbrown.com for more information.

One person was air-lifted to hospital after escap-ing a house fire Sunday morning.

Firefighters were called out at 8 a.m. to a single-family home in the 45000-block of Trethewey Avenue. Smoke and fire were visible when they arrived, and they were told there was still someone inside.

Firefighters quickly broke in, got the man out and treated him at the scene before sending him to the hospital.

It took 20 firefighters from two halls to eventu-ally extinguish the blaze. They were at it for nearly three hours, and they weren’t able to save the house from heavy fire and smoke damage.

The fire started in the kitchen and an investiga-tion has determined it to be accidental.

The second annual Loyalist Day in British Columbia was marked with all due pomp at a special flag-raising outside Chilliwack City Hall Monday morning.

Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz and MP Mark Strahl joined

members of the Chilliwack branch of the United Empire Loyalists’ Association of Canada to raise the ‘First Union flag’ at 9 a.m.

A high-risk repeat sex offender is being released into the community, and will soon be living in the Chilliwack-Hope area.

Forty-six year old Graham Lackey is the subject of a public notification sent out by the Ministry of Justice, Corrections Branch.

His significant criminal history includes indecent exposure, possession of child por-nography, uttering threats, theft under $5000 and breach of probation.

Lackey will be closely monitored by author-ities and must follow 13 court-ordered condi-tions as part of his probation order.

Lackey will not be allowed to possess, own or carry any weapons. He will not be allowed to consume or possess alcohol or any con-trolled substances. He won’t be allowed to have contact, direct or indirect, with anyone under the age of 16 years, and he won’t be allowed near a public park, swimming area, daycare centre, school or playground where they may be present.

Lackey won’t be allowed to own, possess or access any personal computers or electronic devices capable of accessing the internet.

Lackey is five-foot-10 and weighs 179 pounds. He is Caucasian with brown hair and blue eyes.

Anyone who sees him breaching any of his conditions is asked to call their local RCMP detachment.

Release of ‘high-risk sex offender’ prompts warning

Tom FletcherBlack Press

VICTORIA – People who insist on refusing new wireless electrical meters can keep their old mechanical meter as long as it lasts, if they pay a monthly fee, Energy Minister Bill Bennett announced Thursday.

Customers can keep their mechanical meters until they break down, their Measurement Canada accuracy seal expires or the customer relocates, the ministry said in a statement.

The mechanical meter option is added to an earlier compromise with BC Hydro custom-ers who still don’t have a digital smart meter, which transmits power consumption and sta-tus via radio signals.

Customers can have a digital meter with its transmission function turned off, or keep their old meter, as long as they pay the cost of having the meter read manually.

Bennett said the cost of meter reading will be about $20 a month. Customers who accept a deactivated smart meter will also pay a fee of about $100 to have it adjusted.

The fee to keep a mechanical meter will be higher, because it will require a sepa-rate system to manu-ally record and bill for power consumption, Bennett said.

NDP energy critic John Horgan said he is pleased that the proposed fees will be reviewed by the B.C. Utilities Commission before being imple-mented. The opt-out provision should have been made available from the start, instead of rushing to meet the government’s artificial

deadline to install smart meters, Horgan said.

BC Hydro reports that 60,000 smart meter installations have been delayed due to custom-er request, while 1.8 million or 96 per cent of customers now have a functioning smart meter.

Some people per-sist in the belief that the radio signals from smart meters are a health hazard, despite the fact that the peri-odic meter signals rep-resent a tiny fraction of the radio frequency exposure from a mobile phone call.

Bennett said mechan-ical meters are obsolete, and eventually every customer will have a smart meter, whether it transmits or not.

“When somebody’s analog meter wears out, stops working or comes to the end of its useful life, there are no ana-log meters to reinstall,” Bennett said. “You can’t buy them anywhere.”

Kathy Funk has a new job.The former head of the Downtown

Chilliwack BIA now holds the execu-tive director position with Chilliwack Restorative Justice and Youth Advocacy Association.

The world of restorative justice is not completely foreign to Funk.

In fact she and former ED Kim McLandress worked together on a downtown graffiti removal project in 2005.

“I am looking forward to working with the team at Restorative Justice and together making a difference in our community,” said Funk.

Restorative justice is about giving all parties involved in a conflict the opportunity to take an active role in

a safe and respectful process. For offenders, it is about taking respon-sibility and being held accountable for the harm caused. For victims, it provides an opportunity to talk about the harm caused and ask questions that may be necessary as a part of the healing process.

Since its inception in 1998, Chilliwack Restorative Justice and Youth Advocacy Association has offered restorative services to more than 3,700 people affected by crimi-nal acts such as shoplifting, arson, assault, theft, break & enter, vandal-ism and mischief. They have helped net over $100,000 in restitution on behalf of victims.

To reach them call 604-393-3023.

Due dates are elusive things when it comes to babies.

As the Great Kate Wait dragged on in London and bored media reporters clung to their 100 plus ladders outside the Lindo Wing of St. Mary’s Hospital, the Duchess of Cambridge went to her mom and dad’s house last week in Buckleberry to sit out the last days of her pregnancy in some level of seclusion.

Royal births have always been a media message of note, especially when the baby bumps the line of succession. The Queen was born in 1926 by caesarean section in her maternal grandparents’ house in London where a plaque marks the spot at 17 Bruton Street. Her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, was born on a kitchen table in a villa in Corfu in 1921.

When Prince Charles was

born, the water in Trafalgar Square was coloured blue. Even two weeks later, the Queen still couldn’t believe she had a baby

of her own. Her ancestors, though, weren’t quite so appreciative of the patter of little feet.

When King Henry VIII was born, he had two of ficial cradle rockers and a wet nurse. Likely his mom Elizabeth of

York didn’t care for that stuff. He had a daughter in 1533 with Anne Boleyn and, despite all odds, she became the well-educated Queen Elizabeth 1 who could speak 11 languages. Her christening, which Henry didn’t attend, was quite the party. In 2007 her 500-year-old

christening gown was rediscov-ered in the back of a cupboard in Sudeley Castle, Gloucestershire. I guess they don’t do clear-outs too often.

Even though Queen Victoria had nine children, she sure wasn’t doe-eyed over newborns. No sur-prise that she didn’t take time out for breast feeding.

Princess Diana was 16 hours in labour with William, craved bacon sandwiches, refused pain killers and sucked on ice cubes to keep hydrated. She re-wrote the royal baby-raising book and took Wills and Harry on royal tours, ate at McDonald’s, and exposed them to some of the more chal-lenging sides of life, a grounding that sparked their commitment to helping others through their Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and

Prince Harry. The birth of Will and Kate’s

baby will be an event calculated to bolster Britain’s economy with union jack bibs, booties, and baby books for the trinket crowd. Then there’s stuff like baby furniture and strollers. The $380 million baby bump will uncork itself with an estimated three million bottles of champagne and sparkling wine as pub goers raise glasses. Every little outfit the royals dress their child in will spark a fashion fren-zy. Kate is already a fashion state-ment and knock-offs of what she wears in public fly off the shelves of high street stores in seconds.

Their wedding two years ago poured 500 million pounds into the U.K. economy generated by tourism, merchandise, and pub sales. No surprise there The Brits have a long track record of cel-

ebrating at the local pub and a new royal is a perfect excuse to toast it with a pint or two.

Even the Royals themselves are cashing in. Prince Charles is selling handmade baby shoes through his shop on his Highgrove estate; Kate’s parents are selling a range of baby goods through their online party goods website.

Prince or princess, this baby will be third in line to the throne, a ground shifting change from tradition when only males had succession rights and, in their absence, females took the crown. But a bill to change the centuries-old law was fast-tracked through Parliament this spring.

The long awaited birth, when it finally comes, will be announced on a sheet of paper attached to a simple easel.

Crash leaves scars that will take time to heal

There is no question that the crash at Harrison Hot Springs recently was a traumatic event to witness.

The sight of three people, including a child, being run down by a vehicle is one that will likely live on in the minds of the many witnesses forever. Just as the victims will need time to recover, so will those who saw the crash unfold before their eyes.

Within hours, there were stories being shared with friends and strangers — in the streets, in restaurants, on the beach and even online. Some said they were left feeling helpless, and others were visibly upset and crying.

There were many who chose not to get involved, deciding quite rightly that a crowd around an accident scene helps nobody, and that they did not wish to witness whatever horrors were awaiting.

There are also reports of witnesses who became hostile. Some were angry with photographers trying to take capture the news as it happened, and others were furious with the driver of the SUV. That man was arrested on scene, and most who were on scene have suggested there was something impairing him.

But this is Canada, after all, and we have a justice system that needs to slowly churn its wheels. So only time will tell what will come of this horrible scene. This newspaper will be following this story as the accused faces his charge of impaired driving.

In the meantime, those who witnessed the accident could have a long road ahead as they try to forget what they saw.

Hopefully, though, not before they are asked to recall the event to help Madame Justice close the case.

Gravel removal ‘a win-win’In response to Mr. Astie’s let-

ter to The Progress on Thursday July 11 regarding diking in the Fraser Valley, I have some cogent responses.

Mr. Astie is of the opinion that raising the dikes to pre-vent further flooding is a ratio-nal approach to prevent a cata-strophic flood at some point in the future. While I agree that the dikes are in need of upgrading in many places, the removal of gravel should not be discounted.

Each year the Fraser River dumps about 800,000

cubic meters of gravel from an inexhaustible supply on the Valley riverbed from Hope to Chilliwack. Thus each year the riverbed rises about four cen-itmetres which does not seem like a lot, but since the last seri-ous flood in 1948 the river has effectively risen two metres. It behooves me to suggest that if three or four of million cubic metres of gravel a year is not removed from the bars, a time will come when no amount of diking will suffice.

Diking is extremely expensive

in contrast to gravel removal which is a win-win solution. The contractors can sell the material to cover the cost of the extrac-tion.

We only have to look at the cat-astrophic levee failures in China, which seem to be a bi-annual event, to see that once a dike is breached it becomes an impos-sible problem as the in-rushing water rips more and more mate-rial from the dike.

Grant will help hospice help othersRe: Chilliwack

Foundation GrantOur Society would

like to thank the Chilliwack Foundation for the approval of our grant application and awarding us $7,261.72 to upgrade our hard-ware, software, internet connections, database and to purchase digital equipment and video software.

Providing commu-nity education has always been impor-tant to our society and having equipment to facilitate online hospice education will provide another avenue for indi-viduals to receive basic

hospice training as well as more specific train-ing in areas such as: vigils; bereavement; group facilitation; and caregiver support.

Profits from our thrift store, the Thrifty Boutique, enable us to continue offering our services at no charge in the community. Being able to upgrade the store equipment allows us to be more efficient in store operations, providing more time to focus on marketing and increasing inventory.

Life Story Programs permit the seriously ill and their family mem-bers to create memories

and leave a legacy for future generations and/or family members sep-arated by geography. Equipment purchased through this grant pro-vides the opportunity to develop this program.

As those of us who work for non-profits know well, we need to gather data on our donors, the services we offer and the clients we serve. Upgrading our database software increases the efficiency with which we are able to gather and dissemi-nate this information.

Finally, digital equip-ment and its many applications, such as

Skype, can be par-ticularly meaningful to those with compro-mised mobility or those with financial, work, or family responsibili-ties unable to travel to spend time in person with loved ones.

Again, we express our appreciation to the Chilliwack Foundation for supporting our society with this very generous grant, thus enabling us to increase our commitment to the dying and bereaved in Chilliwack.

Family grateful for the kindness of strangers Without question the people

running for office should be the elected by the people they serve who are the people most interested and connected with the issues at hand. These are the people who are residents at Cultus Lake. (Lakers)

I don’t feel other people have any idea of the issues that affect Cultus Lake residents and are important to the people in the community of Cultus Lake. Lakers only should vote for Cultus Lake Park Board.

Heather Cehak

Lakers only should vote

My family and I need to express our gratitude to some amazing people. The problem is that we do not know who they are.

On Friday, July 5 I lost my wallet at Superstore. But a kind soul handed my wallet into the store, with all of the money still inside.

On Sunday, July 7 our fam-ily was at the Sunnyside Campground on Cultus Lake with some friends. In that one

moment when we turned away from the water, our four and half year old daughter fell off of her floatie in water that was too deep for her. A woman (an angel!) who was swimming nearby scooped up our daugh-ter and saved her. Our family is so very grateful to both of these amazing people. We do not know who you are, but we promise to pay it forward.

Theresia & Chris Reid

“If this was going to change, at the very mini-mum, City of Chilliwack would have to be consult-ed, if not required to con-sent to such a change,” said the board chair.

As of right now

Chilliwack officials have not been consulted on the possibility of any changes. The current board has five commis-sioners who are resi-dential leaseholders in Cultus Lake Park, he noted.

“That’s more than ade-

quate representation,” said Peter.

Provincial officials have made it clear repeatedly “that they do not wish to amend the Cultus Lake Park Act,” he underlined. With only 470 residential leasehold-ers, there are also camp-

grounds, commercial leases, the public park area and the foreshore to be considered in the big picture, said the park board chair.

“So strictly in terms of dollars and cents, the residential leaseholders contribute 15 per cent

of the revenues of the park.”

The people of Chilliwack should “defi-nitely have a say in this matter,” because “it’s their park due to the name on title,” Peter added.

Although it’s true that

Chilliwack doesn’t direct-ly support Cultus Lake Park financially, they still have a relationship.

“It started in 1932 when they contributed the land,” he said.

The mayor of Chilliwack agreed about the need to give

Chilliwack its say.“It is a very complex

issue and the legislation ties the ownership of the land to the makeup of the board,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz, in an emailed statement.

“As the land is owned by the residents of Chilliwack, it is their right to have a say in who runs the Park. I would think any legislation that changes the election of commissioners should also address the tenure of the land.”

The other risk, Peter stated not being addressed by petition-ers, is if the composition changes to five commis-sioners elected by lake residents exclusively, “it would likely trigger con-sultation requirements by local First Nations over the lands of Cultus Lake Park. That would result in a costly and complex process, and greatly increase the risk for leaseholders to see an undesirable outcome for them.”

Careful what you wish for, officials tell Cultus Lake petitioners

“Namely, the over-grown brushes and gar-bage are now attracting and providing shelter for vermin which is causing considerable concerns as to the health and safety of those living in the neigh-borhood and for the elderly property owner and her son,” reads the report.

The registered owner will be provided with the opportunity to make rep-resentation to Council to plea for additional time to complete the remedial action or for reconsid-eration of the remedial action.

Coun. Stam said they were forced to “turn up the heat” on agencies like Fraser Health to pro-vide assistance for cases like this.

“This is a public safety issue,” he said Monday.

A specialized team to deal with hoarders in Chilliwack on a part-time basis would be ideal, since they’ve notice an increase in the aware-ness of, and of hoarding cases themselves, said Stam.

“We’re not trying to create a different level of bureaucracy with this, but we need some help to get a fully triangulated solution, and provide san-ity and security for the neighbours and owners alike.”

Alina KonevskiThe Progress

When young Chilliwack mom Samantha Brown gave birth seven months ago, she devel-oped a uterus infection, had to be induced into a coma, and was hospitalized for two weeks. She couldn’t produce breast milk after that. For the first few months of daughter Kianna’s life, Brown fed her formula. But Kianna developed an intoler-ance for it. Ever since, Brown has been on the hunt for breast milk. She frequently posts on a Facebook group called “Human Milk 4 Human Babies,” request-ing donations from moms in the Lower Mainland.

The group is part of a global mom-to-mom movement of milk sharing. A mom who has an over-supply of milk will fill up as many bottles as she can, and give them for free to another mom who can’t produce milk.

This keeps babies feeding on highly nutritious natural milk,

which acts as a “primer” for babies.

“It’s like a thick coat of latex paint that coats the baby’s gut, and makes it less permeable to disease organisms, bacteria, viruses,” said Sidney Harper, project development nurse for the Baby Friendly Initiative at Fraser Health.

This makes the child stronger in the long run, and less prone to illness. Fraser Health does not recommend using formula, except when breast milk is not available.

“We know that giving these babies donor milk instead of for-mula will actually be life-saving,” said Harper.

But for moms who can’t breastfeed, regulated donor milk is usually not freely available because of very low supply at the government milk bank, B.C. Women’s Milk Bank. The milk is reserved for the most vulnerable newborns, and only provided for the first few days of life.

This year, the bank has distrib-

uted 1,400 ounces in Chilliwack to date, thanks to donations from depots across the province, include one locally. Last year, it was only 400 ounces. The year before, because of media atten-tion, the bank distributed 4,000 ounces.

Another option for a mom in Brown’s situation is milk sharing, but supply is also low among the social networks. Brown received donations from about three dif-ferent women, but all of it added up to only a couple of weeks worth of food for baby Kianna.

“There’s not a lot of people donating,” she said.

Occasionally, milk is available for purchase from the govern-ment bank, at a cost of $1.25 per ounce. That’s a high cost when Kianna is at the point where she needs 24-30 ounces daily.

A while back, Brown visited a milk bank in Oak Harbour, Washington, where she pur-chased several months’ worth of breast milk at one-fifth the B.C. price.

As that supply runs low, Brown is again requesting donations on Facebook. Kianna is only seven months old, and will need breast milk for a few months longer. The government recommenda-tion is that moms breastfeed exclusively for a minimum of six months.

But the big difference between an informal network and a regu-lated milk bank are the health risks. Fraser Health sends all donated milk to a testing facility to check for diseases, such as HIV and syphilis, and the milk gets pasteurized before it is released.

“We would never want to share unpasteurized milk, nor milk that hasn’t been screened,” said Harper. “It would be like giving unscreened blood.”

Brown ensures that her baby drinks safe milk by checking the health history certificate of any mom from whom she accepts milk, a document provided at hospitals to moms who recently had a child.

“That’s the only way I’ll take milk from them,” said Brown.

Milk sharing is not a new idea. People have been doing it through parenting groups, and private social networks, prob-ably for as long as moms have given birth. With social media, there is surge in milk sharing as it becomes easier for people to connect.

The B.C. chapter of Human Milk 4 Human Babies launched in September 2010, and has no way to track how many moms have connected, or how much milk they have exchanged. The group does not screen moms on the site, but advocates for informed milk sharing. This includes educating about safety techniques, such as flash pas-teurization at home.

Volunteer page administrator Alicia Hurd has not heard of a case of someone becoming ill as a result of an exchange through the Facebook group.

ExperienceDowntown...

People who want to try a musical instrument in Chilliwack now have an easy option: rentals.

Just a month ago, the local branch of Long & McQuade Musical Instruments intro-duced renting. The store has moved into a much larger space to accommodate the extra stock.

“There’s a lot of musicians in town. There’s a market

for it. It’s a big, big town... Definitely enough people to support this store,” said man-ager Brad Fry.

The new location, at 45860 Cheam Avenue, has more staff and is four times the size of the previous one, which was across from Cottonwood Mall.

The shop has made full use of the larger space by filling the back room with

instruments and gear to be rented out, which includes “pretty much everything” from drum kits, to digital pia-nos, to band instruments, to amplifiers.

Long & McQuade in Chilliwack used to have to send customers to their other stores on a daily basis for rentals, but no more.

“For a bunch of stuff, we’d have to send them out to

Abbotsford or Langley, which is a huge pain for everybody. Now we can facilitate really everything through the store,” said Fry.

And it isn’t just profession-als renting instruments in Chilliwack. They’re five-year-olds who are just starting out, as well as people who have been playing for fifty years.

Chilliwack’s musical instruments scene is hanging

strong, despite the fact that fewer venues are making space for local artists than before.

“There’s definitely a lot of bands, and not enough places to play. We need more ven-ues,” said Fry.

The local music store has grown quickly ever since Toronto-based Long & McQuade, Canada’s larg-est chain of musical instru-

ment retailers, purchased Toews Music and Sewing in 2008. Toews had been in Chilliwack since the 1950s, selling instruments on a smaller scale. Now, Long & McQuade stocks the full range of guitars, keyboards, drums, amps, and anything else that a music lover might need. With the rentals, locals have access to instruments right in their hometown.

Family business expands to second locationJim Ballam feels

right at home in his brand new just-opened Bedroom Gallery.

“This is actually a

location my dad worked at in the 1950s,” says Ballam of the spot at 45873 Wellington Avenue, right across

the street from the Service Canada build-ing. “This is where he got his start at 14 years old, and my son thinks

it’s great karma to have more than 58 years of strong family tradition in this space.”

Ryan Ballam repre-sents the third genera-tion of Ballam business-men, following in the footsteps of his father, Jim, and grandfather, also Jim.

Ryan will run the Bedroom Gallery while his father oversees J. Ballam Furniture, the original location just up the street.

“My father passed away three years ago, but I know he’d be just thrilled to see Ryan working here, where he started as a teenager,” Jim said.

The new location allows the Ballams to expand their categories. Where they were only able to offer three or four sets in their other location, here the bed-room is king.

“We have 13 or 14 now, with a full mattress gallery and accessories like duvets and shams,” Jim said. “This gives the consumer a lot of choice and lets the main store to focus on the categories it does best.”

A partnership with

Kathy Renwick at KC Interior Design will give Bedroom Gallery cus-tomers the opportunity to get customized lin-ens and covers.

And everything will continue to happen in the downtown core that Jim and Ryan still deep-

ly believe in.“I think we’re going

to see exciting things in the downtown in the near future,” Jim said. “Different furniture stores have come and gone, but people know we’re here for the long-term.”

Jim Ballam is proud of his new Bedroom Gallery on at 45873 Wellington Avenue, right across the street from the Service Canada building.

WITH THIS AD. NOT TO BE COMBINED WITH ANY OTHER OFFERS.KIDS’ ADMISSIONKIDS’ ADMISSION2 1FOR

Chilliwack, The Great Outside, has everything you need for a great staycation, from the excitement of water sports or paintball to enjoying a good family movie or theatre production. Online dictionaries offer a range of defi nitions for ‘staycation’ that all point to the same basic principles of spending a vacation at or near home, participating in leisure activities or visiting local attractions. Staycations often include time spent with friends or family, not to mention increased outings to local shops and dining establishments. Chilliwack is made up of small communities, each with their own identity, though many locals do little to experience their individual qualities and unique businesses for themselves. Greendale is home to a number of unique agricultural tourism businesses, craft shops and art studios, while Yarrow offers a vibrant mix of older and newer businesses with an eclectic twist. Rosedale has heritage buildings dating back to before the turn of the last century, not to mention spectacular Minter Gardens, which will be closing in a few months. While you’re there, Bridal Falls offers some great recreation activities as well. Planning a day trip to any of these smaller communities could be as easy as packing the family into the vehicle and driving. An effective staycation involves a combination of leisure, recreation and entertainment. Perhaps a day of water sports at Cultus Lake followed by some

local dining, wrapping things up with an evening walk on the beach. The next day could consist of a round of golf, an afternoon stroll through the boutique shops in downtown Chilliwack, capping it off with a relaxing dinner and a late show at the theatre. Throw in some hikes, fi shing, local sporting events, and maybe even a spa day and you’ve got yourself a nice little holiday close to home. Don’t forget about the many community events Chilliwack has to offer. Party in the Park runs every Friday night until August 23, the Chilliwack Fair is August 9-11, and Chilliwack Flight Fest is August 17&18. The City of Chilliwack’s website, www.chilliwack.com, offers information on events and leisure activities, and be sure to check out www.tourismchilliwack.com for other great staycation ideas.

A Fraser Health program that provides

psychiatric support to teenagers in the eastern

Fraser Valley has a new van to help Chilliwack patients get to their treatments.

The Adolescent Day Treatment Program (ADTP) allows people aged 13 to 18 who are going through severe mental health issues, including psychosis, and mood and anxiety disorders, to receive therapy and other assis-tance at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital.

The new 24-seat bus, nicknamed the Sunshine Coach, will

ensure that teenagers in Chilliwack and through the region can get to the program and back in time for school.

“Our new Sunshine Coach will be used to pick up and drop off participants allowing for greater access to this vital program,” said Vicki Raw, executive director of the Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation.

The bus is funded by a grant from Variety, a children-focused char-ity in B.C.

Two Chilliwack lacrosse stars are heading to New York State this fall, signing on with NCAA programs.

Ashley Heisler committed to Buffalo-based Canisius College shortly after Easter.

Just last week, Tanner Olsen got some good news of his own, officially sign-ing on with the Dominican College Chargers. He’ll live and study in Orangeburg, just a 17 mile hop from downtown New York City.

“It’s really cool and it’s actually been a pretty crazy process,” the Sardis second-ary school grad said. “I think it’s going to be an amazing

thing to do, especially in the United States where sports are so much bigger.”

Olsen has been playing lacrosse since he was four years old, rising through the ranks of the Chilliwack Mustangs program.

In 2007 he played for Team BC at naionals, win-ning gold in Whitby, Ontario. In 2010 he won gold at the BC Summer Games, and most recently, he played for the junior Langley Thunder.

His lacrosse resume spar-kles, but until recently, he didn’t think it was going to be good enough to pay for school.

“I visited Syracuse University last January, audi-tioning for a music scholar-

ship,” said Olsen, who was part of the Sardis drum line and concert band. “It was a really cool process, but it didn’t work out in the end, and I’d kind of given up on it. I was going to go to TRU (Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops) until all of this came togeth-er.”

The Dominican College opportunity came out of the blue, through a contact in Langley. There’s no doubt the 18-year-old’s lacrosse skills were good enough, but Olsen had to jump through academic hoops aplenty to make it happen.

“I had to fill out a player application for the lacrosse team, then a general admis-

sions application,” he said. “I had to send high school transcripts and SATs, and then I had to wait.”

And wait.And wait.Finally, acceptance, and

the knowledge that he’ll have, at minimum, his tuition paid for. That takes about $24,000 worth of financial worries off his plate, which makes the process well worth the wait.

“I’m so happy for Tanner,” said Heisler, a good friend and fellow Sardis grad. “I’ve been friends with him since we were both little, and I’m so happy he’s able to go there.”

Heisler, also 18 years old, is spending the summer pre-

paring for her own adven-ture.

The Canisius College Griffins are an NCAA wom-ens’ lacrosse powerhouse.

“They’ve won their confer-ence the last three years and I expect a really huge jump from what I’ve been doing to what I will be doing,” Heisler said.

A standout at every level she’s played at, the Chilliwack teen will find herself in unfamiliar terri-tory, having to prove her-self on a veteran talent-laden squad.

“I think it’ll actually be nice to be around people who are a lot better than me,” she said. “I’ll be able to learn a lot from them.

I’m going to have to work really hard to stay fit and keep pace with the other freshmen.”

Olsen and Heisler will face the same challenge off the field, leaving home for the first time.

“I think it will be difficult, not easy at all,” Heisler rea-soned. “But I’m fortunate to have family (grandparents) in southern Ontario, and I think I’ll be so busy most of the time that I won’t have time to worry about it.”

Lacrosse stars making move to Empire State

Tyke, novice and peewee players (ages six and up) log four hours per day at a cost of $40. Sign up tonight, from 6 to 8 p.m., at the Waves Coffee House in Garrison Village. If you miss that, sign up July 25 or 30, from 6 to 8 p.m., at the Tim Hortons by Chilliwack middle school. A final signup will be held Aug. 1, from 6 to 8 p.m., at the Waves Coffee House.

Five GW Graham football players helped Team BC win its first ever U-16 inter-provin-cial tournament with a win at the Red River Cup tournament.

The tourney was held July 6-13 in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

The local lads cap-tured the title with a thrilling 34-21 win over Winnipeg West. Linebacker Jordon Breuker, offensive line-man Braydon Winger, defensive lineman Elijah Schellenberg, running back Billy

Hanson and receiver Emerson Smith played key roles for Team BC.

Their crew struggled to find consistency through four round-rob-in games.

They lost 21-16 to Winnipeg West in their opener, then blanked Saskatchewan North 21-0 in game two.

They beat Winnipeg East 21-14 in game three, then lost 14-0 to Saskatchewan South to finish 2-2.

In the final, Team BC built up a 27 point first half lead, then hung on for the win.

The Grizzly five will join their teammates for the start of fall camp Aug. 19, with over 100 Grade 8, junior varsity and varsity players suiting up. The team’s next live action will be an exhibition game in

Colton, Oregon on Aug. 31.

● The GW Graham var-sity and junior varsity football teams were in Oregon last week, join-ing 17 other high school teams at the Camp Rilea US Army base.

The Grizzlies went through four days of practices and scrim-mages against tough American competition.

In their off time, they stayed in the army bar-racks and ate in the mess hall.

They capped off the camp with games against Orcas Island (Washington State) and Salem Academy (Oregon). The Grizzlies lost the junior varsity game 12-0 and tied the varsity match 6-6.

Red River winners

Julia Cristea (No. 13) and Anya Soon-Kozak (No. 11) guide go-karts around the track last Thursday, taking part in a three-day kartSTART program at Chilliwack’s Greg Moore Raceway. Held Tuesday through Thursday and co-sponsored by Toyota Canada and Subway Canada, the event introduced go-kart driving to young riders 18-and-under. Instructors focused less on racing and more on safe operation of the vehicles, hoping the experience will make their stu-dents better drivers when they transition to larger vehicles on regular roads.

The Valley Huskers saw their first live action of 2013, hosting the Langley Rams Saturday night in exhibition action at Townsend Park.

The home team lost 28-6 to the defending Cullen Cup champions, getting their points on a pair of field goals by Dan Erickson and Leiland Kelodanski.

Huskers head coach Tyson St. James was impressed with his team’s effort.

“The team is look-ing good and I am very happy with their ability to stop the Rams from scoring in the second half,” he said. “The team is definitely ready for the start of the regu-lar season.”

The Huskers get rolling for real this Saturday, visiting the Okanagan Sun in a BC Football Conference clash at Kelowna’s Apple Bowl.

The Husker home opener is Aug. 3 versus the Kamloops Broncos, with a 1 p.m. start at Townsend Park.

The Huskers will be using that field until mid-September, with

their usual home at Exhibition Stadium being renovated.

Tickets cost $10 and

are available at the gate. Get BCFC information online at bcjuniorfoot-ball.ca.
