Three prolific offenders will not face the justice system for an alleged kidnapping in Novem-

ber as the complainant proved too scared to testify.

Charges of assault with a weapon, uttering threats, unlawful confine-ment and possession of a weapon were stayed against Jason Arthur Combes in Chilliwack Court Friday morning.

And charges of kidnapping, utter-ing threats, unlawful confinement and possession of a weapon were stayed against Raphael Charles Leon and Richard Joseph Williams in rela-tion to the same incident.

The three were among five who faced the serious charges after allegedly kidnapping a 33-year-old man in November.

The RCMP Serious Crime Unit found the victim in a house on Land-ing Drive on Skwah First Nations reserve land just west of downtown.

The 25-year-old Williams from Chilliwack was charged immediate-ly with kidnapping, threatening and confinement. A 36-year-old man and a 26-year-old woman, also from Chilliwack, were also arrested, and warrants were issued for Combes and Leon.

Justin Mallard (right) and Brett Rancourt hold their new son and daughter, Sawyer and Jordyn, as photographer Devon Hall takes family portraits at her studio.

For Justin Mallard and Brett Ran-court, being fathers seemed like an impossibility.

“It’s probably one of the hardest things we both went through on our own—before we even met each oth-er—about accepting being gay,” says Mallard.

But when the couple first started dating five years ago, they immedi-ately talked about having children despite the obstacles—both real and perceived.

“You can’t change who you are,” continues Mallard. “You have to just embrace it and accept it, and then work toward the things that you real-ly want.”

Their two children, Jordyn and Saw-yer move in their cradle swings near-by, evidence that persistence paid off.

The one-month-old twins were born prematurely which prolonged their hospital stay. Now they nap, bundled in their new home with two sleep-deprived, but elated fathers in the room.

Their journey is a well-document-ed one. Mallard started a blog in November last year called Love and Science—Our Modern Family, tracking

their process of becoming parents in great detail.

The online account of their lives has gained them a lot of attention in the Chilliwack community, which Mallard says has been instrumental in the cou-ple achieving their dreams.

“I’ve been out here for almost five years now and it’s been absolutely incredible,” he says. “The support, the love, the friends out here are amazing.”

In fact, their dream was started in motion by one of those community

members, Raylene Bussinger.She and Mallard have been

co-workers since the Vancouverite moved to Chilliwack to live with Ran-court, so she knew about their hopes.

“I just piped up and said, ‘Well if you ever need a surrogate I’ll do it for you.’” says Bussinger.

The mother of three and her hus-band had already decided they were finished having children of their own.

Bussinger says she wanted to give Mallard and Rancourt the opportunity to also be parents.

upfront THE BIG STATPer cent of Canadians who

say rising gas prices will aff ect their summer vacation plans. 68

BY GREG LAYCHAK

Special to the Times

Bhaktimarga Swami sits in the lobby of a Chilliwack car deal-ership and looks down at his

feet.He points to the worn, dirty Crocs

below his saffron robes and says, “I’ve been wearing them for too long.”

To most people that would be an understatement. Bhaktimarga has walked from Cape Spear, N.L. on a personal pilgrimage to encourage others to get out on foot and connect with the people and moments sur-rounding them.

For this temporary break, he sits in a waiting room love seat, visiting a friend during a detour from his path on Highway 7.

Having completed the cross-con-tinent journey non-stop three times before, Bhaktimarga has rightly earned his nickname: The Walking Monk.

“You can’t separate walking from spirituality,” he says. “It’s finding out more about who you are inside.”

The Hare Krishna monk adds that his mission is to raise awareness of the physical and the spiritual coming together, such as in pilgrimages or

other culturally traditional walking rituals.

“What I’m really asking people is: what do you think we did before the automobile?” he asks. “What did our ancestors do?”

He raises these questions at stops across Canada speaking to a wide variety of groups—including ele-mentary schools, where he’s a big hit.

“The biggest challenge for kids today is to get outside, get them away from gadgets,” says Bhaktimarga. “So when they hear someone is walking through Canada, ‘Explore the world,’ is the message they hear.”

That message, he says, is eliciting great response from both the chil-dren and the teachers.

This time around The Walking

Monk has split his cross-country trip into three sections over as many summers, with the final season com-ing to a close in Vancouver within the week.

He and his crew look road-worn but there’s an undeniable energy in the room.

Daruka, the support guide will drive him back to Agassiz in the eve-ning where they will resume from their morning stopping point.

A blue-fronted Amazon parrot perched on his shoulder rests its lowered head against Daruka’s chin, showing the toll of the trip more than its human counterparts.

The fourth group member, a younger monk, is absent, tak-ing advantage of the break to run errands.

Together the band has moved across British Columbia’s moun-tains, starting this year’s segment in Taber, Alta.

They rely on the generosity of peo-ple they meet along the way who give them food, or offer rooms and campsites.

Often starting as early as 4 a.m., the group breaks midday to get out of the heat, sometimes continuing in the evening when the sun starts to recede.

Sticking to the smaller roads ensures less traffic, but also directs the group through smaller towns and means more interaction with locals.

But expeditions of this length don’t always go smoothly, with the most difficult trials along the way involving dogs, wildlife, mosquitoes and weather.

“You learn to be a little bit tough out there, learn to take it all in, and always keep the spiritual component in your mind,” says Bhaktimarga. “That’s how you tolerate it.”

And while those are taxing days, his patience is often rewarded. The Walking Monk reminisces about a scene at night when he hiked alone under the northern lights, surround-ed by lakes and loon calls, watched over by the slivered moon.

“It’s not that you have to be in a temple or a mosque or a monastery or a church,” he says.

“Spirituality is everywhere, in the atmosphere and the elements.”

That reason, says The Walking Monk, is what keeps him walking.◗ Bhaktimarga Swami visited Chilli-wack June 25, detouring from his path through Agassiz. He then planned to fly from Vancouver to Ottawa for the Canada Day celebration.

Attempted murder trial judge considers statement

Monk’s cross-Canada pilgrimage nears end


[email protected]

A Chilliwack man’s attempted murder trial is delayed until August when the judge will

decide whether or not the statement the accused made to police will be allowed as evidence.

Matthew Alderman is currently on trial for aggravated assault and attempted murder after the Jan. 14, 2013 incident in which he alleged-ly attacked his roommate, Deborah Halladay.

The 49-year-old Halladay testi-fied on the first day of the trial that when she tried to evict Alderman, who she increasingly found to be “odd,” the 25-year-old man put his hands around her neck and stran-gled her.

“‘I want to kill you, why won’t your neck break?’” were Alderman’s words, according to Halladay’s testi-mony on June 19.

In court on June 26, the court heard arguments about whether Alder-man’s statement to police should be allowed because the charge was raised to attempted murder and he was not re-read his Charter rights.

Crown counsel Paul Blessin argued that, at the least, Alderman’s state-ment should be included up to the point when he admitted to police that he wanted to kill Halladay.

Prior to that, Blessin said, none of the other legal reasons to exclude the statement apply.

“This was about as routine and straightforward a statement as we would expect to see,” Blessin said.

Defence lawyer Andrew Bonfield argued that at the moment Alderman told police he wanted to break Halla-day’s neck, jeopardy changed and he should have been “rechartered.”

“Certainly a broken neck can lead to death,” Bonfield said. “He didn’t say ‘I want to kill her,’ but that is what he was saying.”

Judge Steven Point told the court he would render a decision on the statement on Aug. 15.

situation,” RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Len vanNieuwenhuizen said in November. “The victim and accused were known to each oth-er. The safety of the community at large was not in jeopardy by this incident.”

The complainant in the case failed to attend court and a warrant was issued on May 14.

The reluctant witness again failed to attend court on June 27, and all charges were stayed.

The three men, Combes, Leon and Williams, all have extensive criminal records dating back more than a decade.

Combes was sentenced to five years in jail in 2009 for the Octo-ber 2007 incident where, speeding

and running through intersections, he T-boned a Mazda at Tyson and South Sumas roads killing 56-year-old Dwayne Vardy.

Combes fled the scene. He also received a 12-year-driving ban, even though he has never had a driver’s licence.

He is scheduled to go on trial for assault causing bodily harm, break and enter, uttering threats, assault and robbery in relation to another incident from 2013.

A Chilliwack couple want to warn dog owners after their German

shepherd, Ben, died of an apparent poisoning last week.

Pete and Jo-Ann Mitischev are devastated at the loss of one of their two beloved animals, and they don’t understand why anyone would intentionally do such a thing.

“It just put me into shock,” Pete Mitischev told the Times last Thurs-day. “It’s heartbreaking.”

Mitischev arrived to his down-town home a day before only to find

two-year-old Ben bleeding from the mouth and the anus.

The couple took the dog to Family Pet Hospital in Sardis.

“They took one look at the dog and said ‘This looks like poisoning.’”

The dog was tested for canine parvovirus, which can cause similar symptoms, but it came back negative.

Back at home, Mitischev found two rawhide sticks that had been tossed into his fenced in driveway, apparently from the back alley.

“My good dog (Belle) came out, went up to the rawhide sticks and immediately turned around and ran in the other direction,” he said.

Mitischev wants to be clear that he does not have 100 per cent proof that the dog was poisoned, but all signs are pointing that way.

He also pointed out that, he asked, and animal control has never had a complaint about his dog.

“All my neighbours were worried sick,” he said. “Our dog is kept inside at night, they are in a pen inside our fenced yard if we aren’t home. Then we have a six-foot fence. I walk them daily with a double leash.

“I think it’s some sick person.”Mitischev called the RCMP, animal

control and the SPCA. The file is cur-renlty in the hands of the SPCA.

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

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

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

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

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

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

A man and a woman with a history of drug charges are in custody after a raid on a

3rd Avenue home last week saw an RCMP officer shoot and injure a pit bull terrier.

During the execution of a warrant at the home, a general duty Mount-ie shot the pit bull that charged at police dog Koda and his handler.

“The officer physically placed himself between the pit bull, Koda, and his handler in order to protect them from this threat,” said RCMP spokesperson Cst. Tracy Wolbeck in a press release. “Shooting an ani-mal is not something we ever want to do, however, the protection of the public and our officers was the pri-ority in this situation, and is in every situation.”

The pit bull involved was located a few blocks from the scene by offi-cers and taken to a local veterinari-an to receive treatment.

Animal control is now looking after the dog.

Members of the Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team (ERT), the Lower Mainland Integrated

Police Dog Service and general duty members were involved in the raid on the home in the 46000 block of 3rd Avenue.

Police found what they believe to be heroin and crystal methamphet-amine in the home.

Kane Vernon Wilson, 37, and Kirsten Lynn Johnson, 37, both of Chilliwack, are charged with pos-session for the purpose of traffick-ing and possession of a prohibited weapon.

Johnson faces other trafficking charges from May. She is scheduled to go to trial Aug. 28 on possession charges dating back to October 2013, and she faces similar charges from September 2013.

Wilson, too, has a history of drug charges and is scheduled to go to trial Sept. 18 on trafficking and resisting arrest charges in relation to an incident on May 10, 2013.

An Agassiz man was sen-tenced to four years in jail last Friday for a 2011 crash

in Harrison Hot Springs that killed a motorcyclist.

Kenneth Richard Healey, 65, also received a 10-year driving ban in Supreme Court in Chilli-wack after he was convicted of

dangerous driving causing death, impaired driving causing death and operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol over the legal limit.

On Sept. 11, 2011, Agassiz res-ident Berend DeGroot was fatal-ly injured when his motorcycle collided with Healey’s Mercury Sable, which was travelling in the opposite direction on Hot Springs Road.

After the crash, Healey was tak-en to hospital but later released.

The impaired driving convic-tions weren’t the first for Healey, according to online court records.

In 2005, he was charged with, and pleaded guilty to, having care or control of a vehicle with a blood alcohol content over .08 in Agas-siz.

He was handed an $800 fine and a 12-month driving prohibition.

With no apparent sense of humour, the press release issued by Environment Cana-

da declared the danger: “When thunder roars, GO INDOORS!”

(All-caps theirs.)The message? June 9 to 15 was

“Lightning Safety Week” here in Cana-da. Sorry I didn’t tell you sooner.

Yes, there is a week in our country designated to fret over the danger of electrostatic discharge from above.

To be clear, I know lightning can be dangerous. (I know someone who was indirectly affected when a tree he was standing next to was struck by lightning and, so the story goes, the electricity shot through the root system and he was blown off the ground. He was OK.)

But I’m struck by the question of whether or not this really warrants a week of national concern.

My immediate response upon seeing the press release was to wonder when Haystack Needle Safety Week was going to be.

Or Be Careful Of Mooching Friends If You Win the Lottery Week.

Let’s lay it out here: Being struck by lightning happens so rarely it is LITER-ALLY (all-caps mine) a metaphor for something really, really, really unlikely.

As in, “I won the lottery?! Wow! That’s like being struck by lightning.”

OK, you might not say that, but you get my point.

The press release directs one to the Canadian Lightning Danger Map, an online, interactive feature that points out where lightning is currently a threat.

At present writing, I’d avoid the Prai-ries mid-way between Saskatoon and Calgary, and a chunk of land in whatev-er state is south of Saskatchewan.

“Let’s get inside, I can hear thunder!” I imagine a character in a govern-ment-sponsored TV ad saying.

“Hang on honey, I’ve got an app for

that. Let’s first see if there is lightning danger near us, according to the ‘When thunder roars. . . Go indoors!’” website.

Given how fast a lightning strike is, I’m left wondering how much time we really have to consult the map.

“The Canadian Lightning Danger Map (CLDM) represents areas at great-est risk of being struck by lightning in the next 10 minutes,” it says on the site.

OK, that’s good.“Times are expressed in Coordinated

Universal Time (UTC).” Um, what’s that?“The interval between maps is 10

minutes. Please re-fresh your browser to ensure you have the latest map.”

Got that? So not only are you deal-ing with a natural phenomenon that happens so fast that, again, it’s literally a metaphor, and you see the effect before you hear the sound it makes—it is LITERALLY faster than the speed of sound!—you also need to refresh your browser to make sure it hasn’t been eight or nine minutes since the last posting of dangerous spots.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for safety,

but I just wonder how worthwhile this website and campaign really is.

From helicopter parents at the park in suburbia, to so-called “chicken bus-es” in Guatemala, I’ve seen a fair spec-trum of how safety issues are managed around the world.

In Canada, where we may have a front-page news story when a child is mauled by the family dog. In Greece, it’s not even newsworthy when actual packs of feral dogs terrorize people in public parks.

In Canada, we warn people not to stand too near the tracks when a train arrives. In India, they are stacked three-deep on top of cattle cars to get around.

In Canada, we aren’t allowed to get near the animals on a chicken farm. In Guatemala, as the above anecdote implies, people pile in and on to buses heading every which way with whatev-er they can carry, including poultry.

But don’t listen to me. Playing out-side in a warm thundertorm may seem like a fun summertime activity. Be careful, though, you may just win the lottery . . . if you know what I mean.

This column could literally kill you

The price being paid for the cruelty exhibited in a video recently released to the media keeps climbing.

It has already rightly cost the jobs of those who allegedly beat dairy cattle at Chilliwack Cattle Sales, and criminal charges are under review.

But the tally hasn’t stopped there. The reputation of an entire industry, and the thousands of people who work in it, is now being so sullied it is breathtaking.

The anger, hatred and derision displayed in online comments and in social media borders on hysterical.

An online petition spurred dairy behemoth Saputo to force the BC Milk Marketing Board to refuse milk from the farm. Tens of thousands of litres of milk were destroyed before officials said they were satisfied with remedial measures at the farm.

But that penalty isn’t high enough for the online lynch mob. It’s already convicted the eight dairy workers of ani-mal cruelty, as well as the people they worked for.

Now some commenters have branded every dairy farmer in the country as a vicious sadist whose pursuit of profit comes at the cost of the animals in his or her care.

To be clear, the behaviour portrayed in that video is abhorrent.

But so are the actions of those trying to destroy the lives and livelihoods of so many.

To condemn every dairy operation, and maintain that all must pay for the actions of a few is a gross contortion of reasoning and justice.

Online vitriol out of control

The Healthy Benefits of Natural Soaps & Body Care Products

FREE demo with Hugo Naturals We’re having a free demo of

Hugo Naturals Soaps and Creams with Colleen from 1 pm to 4 pm

tomorrow... Friday, July 4th. Come and try them out!

The next time you walk down the

soap aisle at your local grocery store enjoying the scents and fancy packaging - look at the labels. Most of the products don’t say ‘soap’. They might be called beauty bars, moisturizing bars, or body bars, but not soap. That’s because they aren’t soap and can’t legally claim to be... they are detergents.

The soap manufacturers have re-moved most of the ‘good’ stuff in the soap making process, and replaced it with synthetic lather-ing agents and harsh chemicals. These cheap, detergent bars are bad for your skin and your health.

Commercial ‘soap’ bars contain synthetic agents, artificial co-lours and many other chemicals. Anti-bac-terial soaps usually contain triclosan - a chemical known to cause cancer.

Your skin is very absorbent. The use of chemical products on your skin over time, can cause your body to store the chemicals in body fat - which can lead to health problems. Perhaps its time to try a better alternative. We offer some great natural soaps and body care products, like Hugo Naturals...Hugo Naturals body care products are 100%

natural, made with pure ingredients that leave

your skin remarkably soft. Ingredients like natural

vegetable Glycerin, Vitamin E and pure essential

oils of Coconut, Safflower and Castor - to create a

rich lather that nourishes your skin. Plus natural

botanical extracts that infuse a delightful fragrance.

Cleanse with confidence, knowing Hugo Naturals

body care products are safe and good for you.

Editor:I have been through

the vivisection labs. I have seen the calculated cruelty inflicted on help-less animals, which our government condones and funds with my tax dollars.

I have seen the videos of dogs being skinned alive for their pelts to make handbags.

I have seen horrors perpetuated in slaugh-terhouses, where bets are made as to how fast one could shoot and gut an animal. The horses’ hearts were still beating as they landed on the floor.

Here in Chilliwack the brutalizing of dairy cows who provide the milk we consume fills me with the same rage and disgust, not only at the perpetrators but also at the stupid gov-ernment who promote and aid factory farming, the source of the poi-sons we purchase and consume.

The objective of factory farming is the almighty dollar, the green God these people go to church on Sunday to worship.

Stressed animals are toxic. Consumers are being hoodwinked that these products are safe and wholesome. They are not.

The best way to com-bat this outrageous fraud is boycott their products. The loss of revenue is the only stimulant these monsters understand.

If there is any form of justice in this coun-try, which is doubtful, these poeple should be jailed and prohibited from keeping animals, period.

It is well known that the most vicious, sadistic criminals have a history of animal abuse. What does that tell about these individuals?

Kids suffer in school fightEditor:

The two titans are still at it, as job action by B.C. Teachers’ Federation continues.

This reminds me of an old African proverb: When the elephants fight, it’s the grass that gets trampled. Meaning, kids are the ones who are suffering.

To claim that strikes do not hurt kids’ education is simply absurd.

True, each side in the dispute has some valid arguments, and it’s not all black and white.

However, as Rodney King once said: “Why can’t we all get along?”

Even more than mon-ey, the way I see it, the fight is about respect.

Paraphrasing another Rodney, the comedian Rodney Dangerfield i.e., “We get no respect.” Teachers definitely deserve their due.

On the other hand, let’s not lose sight of the bottom line, namely accountability for results as student achievement. Schools really need to be judged on the value they add.

When 42 per cent of Canadian adults are having low literacy skills (according to Statistics Canada ), I say, “pox on both houses.”

The system is broken. Let’s fix it—and fast!

Dr. Lal Sharma, former professor,

school trustee Chilliwack

I want more for studentsEditor:

I want more.My goal for each student

is all of my classes is that they be successful and demonstrate their learn-ing. To help achieve this I have a “no zero” policy. It means I expect every student to complete every assignment and project, no matter how small. It isn’t easy and I’m not always successful with every student, but I want to tell you about one. He was a challenging student in a Grade 7 sewing class of 30—off task behaviour, distracted, disengaged. Grade 7 sewing is chaot-ic—kids all over the place, everyone wants help at the same time, jammed sew-ing machines, and a list of 15 who are waiting on the board. . . . Somehow, and with the help of an education assistant who was in the class for two or three other students, we got this student to com-plete the small amount of “book” work I require, and the first small sewing projects. I remember the day he looked at his mark for what he had done so far and realized he could get an “A”. Something hap-pened for him, and the problem became trying to get him to put his name on the board and wait for help, instead of trying to “budge the line.” I think he was the first one to com-plete the major project, and he earned his “A”.

This is what I want for every student I teach. Learning, achievement, success. I want them to

leave my class feeling like they “can” and I hope they can take a little of that feel-ing into everything they choose to do in life.

I think I’m pretty good at my job, even with the big classes and high numbers of students who need extra help. But I can do better. I can do better with smaller classes. I can do better with fewer students who need extra support. I can do better with a budget that meets the needs for equipment and supplies.

B.C. can do better. Fund education the way it should be. Invest in kids. Invest in our future.

Paula AquinoChilliwack

Is this our labour peace?Editor:

During the election, Christy Clark promised 10 years of labour peace in public education. If this is peace, what is the war going to look like? Teachers have been doing more for less for over a decade. Graduation rates are up, and the 2012 PISA assessment of 15-year old students shows that among 65 participating jurisdictions, B.C. ranked second in reading, third in science, fourth in comput-er-based problem solving, and 10th in mathemat-ics. Compared to other provinces, B.C. was first in reading, science and computer-based problem solving, and second in mathematics. We have achieved this despite funding per student that is $1,000 less than the national average, and a student-to-teacher ratio two students higher than the national average. Yet rather than give teachers a thumbs up, this govern-ment consistently elects to show us a different finger. What we really want is a helping hand.

Teachers both want and deserve the restoration of language governing class

size, class composition, and specialist teacher staffing ratios that was illegally stripped from our contract in 2002. We want this because we care about kids and the quality of their education, and because students with special needs need to be properly supported. We deserve this because we already paid for it. Con-trary to assertions by this government, restoring the stripped language would cost less than $190 million a year. It would require hiring approximately 2,000 teachers, and increase

educational spending in B.C. by about four per cent. The government claims it would cost over $1.67 billion, an obvious lie that insults the intel-ligence of us all. In 1998, teachers gave up salary to get this language into our contract, and when the BC Liberals illegally stripped it away, they did not restore our salaries. That means that for the last 12 years teachers have been paying for something and been given nothing. Now that the Court has ordered this stripped language restored, the government

has announced its inten-tion to ignore the ruling.

We protest the ongo-ing violation of our civil rights and the abuse and neglect of our kids, yet we do so peacefully and with respect for the law. In contrast, the government has provoked teachers to strike, violated our consti-tutional rights, ignored the Court, and imposed upon us legislation that erodes our wages and eliminates supports needed by our students. Then they call us militant.

› Faith TodayBY JOHN SOVEREIGN

St. Thomas Anglican Church

Read Genesis 21: Every family has its struggles. Few can say their story of strife goes back

around 3,000 years. In the dramas we see unfolding today around the Holy Land, we can trace a deep root of bitterness to the half-brothers Isaac and Ishmael, sons of one father and different mothers.

Abram, the patriarch of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, was the hus-band of Sarai. It was a barren union, yet God had clearly told them they would have a child. God’s promise seemed to take forever. Finally, Sarai and Abram agreed that her Egyptian servant Hagar should be a surrogate. Abram’s union with Hagar produced a son, named Ishmael. To this day there is a sect of Islam calling themselves Ishmaelites.

The joy of a new child was interwo-ven with a growing discord between Sarai and Hagar. Hagar reminded Sarai in a thousand ways of her new status as mother of Abram’s heir. The bitterness grew.

In due course, Sarai herself became pregnant and bore a child, named Isaac. On the day when Isaac was weaned, the family gathered to feast—it was the custom then—and some-thing happened. No one knows exactly what it was. The Jews tell the story one way, the Muslims another, and the Christians yet another way. Sarai was enraged as the collected insults and slights of Hagar and her son boiled over. She determined to get rid of Hagar and of Ishmael.

Against his own heart, but reassured

by divine revelation Hagar and Ish-mael would be okay, Abram agreed. He gave them what he could, and they headed off into the wilderness. They ran out of water, and as death neared, God showed Hagar a small spring. The Bible tells us that Ishmael went on to father a “great nation.” Most Arabs and indeed Muhammad himself trace their ancestry back to Ishmael.

In the Christian view, we focus on symbolic, spiritual aspects of the story. For Abram and Sarai, desperate to have a child, it seemed too much to just wait for God’s promise to come true. The years passed, and hope fad-ed. Thus it was that they concocted the plan to have Hagar stand in to bear a son. The results were ironic, and set in motion a history of suffering and con-

flict to this day—within the mystery of God’s saving grace.

Although Abram and Sarai are con-sidered ancestors of all who live by faith, in life they stumbled repeatedly. Through it all, a deep trust in God developed and grew. No matter that they took things into their own hands. No matter that others in their story showed God more fear and respect. This ancient couple’s story resonates with our own experience of personal unfaithfulness, difficult situations, and bitter consequences. What does it take to receive God’s promise in our lives? What does it take before we trust God fully?

Abram and Sarai were set apart not so much because they loved God in the beginning, because they didn’t always, but because God had chosen them. We see them living out their salvation in the midst of life, learning what it means to be faithful.

Abram and Sarai’s lives, and Hagar and Ishmael’s too, were enriched by this whole horrible mess. Sometimes it takes a deep and nasty wound to show God’s steadfast care and healing power. Our sinfulness highlights God’s forgiveness and grace.

God’s ideas are always the smartest thing to do. Even when life is difficult, taking the easy route is no excuse. Even when things are going terribly wrong, even when faithfulness is going to be costly. Even in the midst of failure. Life is seldom easy, often messy, and the scriptures tell us how others like Abram and Sarai struggled. When God speaks, we know we are healed. When God speaks, we know we are forgiven. When we find ourselves as Abram and Sarai did, in the cauldron of our own sinfulness, God’s grace brings salvation and a way forward.◗ Rev. John Sovereign is the priest at St. Thomas Anglican Church.

be able to have that opportunity,” she says.

But even with a surrogate secured, the couple still faced an important hurdle.

“Obviously in our situation, we need an egg,” says Rancourt laughing.

Eggs can be difficult to get in Can-ada because commercial donations are prohibited in the country.

With no donor, their only other option would be to go to the U.S. and pay $30,000 for each attempt, accord-ing to Rancourt.

“We got pretty down about that and we got to the point where we almost weren’t going to go through the process anymore,” he says. “We needed to be able to afford the kids when they came.”

Their surrogate, Bussinger, then came to the rescue, approaching her friend Lisa Wooldridge with the idea of donating.

“I knew their story, I knew what they were trying to do and that they’re wonderful people,” says Wooldridge.

She already knew Rancourt from their baseball league and Mallard had sold her a car.

So Wooldridge agreed to be the egg donor, not only drastically lowering the cost of the procedure, but also increasing the odds of conception.

“It’s not a simple process to bring an egg donor, surrogate and future parents together socially, medically and biologically,” says Dr. Beth Taylor,

co-founder and co-director of Olive Fertility Centre.

But with Bussinger’s and Wool-dridge’s cycles coincidentally matched up, they were able to start with their medication on the first visit to Olive.

Of 16 retrieved eggs, 15 were fertilized, and both of the embryos transferred to Bussinger’s uterus suc-cessfully took.

All that was left to do was wait.

Demystifying gay familiesAfter Bussinger gave birth to Jor-

dyn and Sawyer, Wooldridge went to see the new family at the hospital.

“Seeing how excited Brett and Justin were, it just confirmed why I did what I did,” says Wooldridge. “I’m so happy that I was able to help fulfill somebody’s dream.”

In the same spirit, Mallard and

Rancourt are barely stopping to take a breath, juggling their lives as new parents while engaging with the new community that has grown out of the blog and the connections they’ve made during the surrogacy.

They say many of the same-sex couples who want families aren’t aware of their options.

So the new fathers are offering guidance and support to people across Canada, trying to help them move in the right direction.

“Which is so rewarding for us because the feeling we have being dads is the best feeling anyone could ever ask for,” says Mallard. “And to be able to help another couple have this feeling…”

Dr. Taylor of the Olive Fertility Centre is also trying to help spread awareness and create a welcoming environment to diverse families.

“Mainstream media has helped to demystify gay families,” she says. “There are more and more gay families with children who are role models, and the entire field of fertility medicine has opened up possibilities that didn’t exist just a few years ago.”

Rocking quietly in the living room of their new home, Jordyn and Saw-yer aren’t yet aware of the role scien-tific advances had in their creation. Nor do they know about the commu-nity that came together to support their fathers, donate eggs, carry them, and give birth to them.

Mallard’s blog tells that story. But when they’re old enough to

read between the lines, the siblings will find that it was their dads’ pride, determination and love that gathered all of those elements together to bring them into this world.

BY GREG LAYCHAK


When Lisa Newell first tried her hand at sports, she couldn’t keep up with her

peers. In fact, she was sometimes asked to not come back.

Newell was at a disadvantage with her teammates and competitors in soccer games and curling matches.

They could see each other, the field, the ice and the instruments involved.

Lisa, however, is blind and has an intellectual disability. And competi-tion is not always kind.

But Newell has come a long way since, finding a niche where she excels.

“I’m doing well,” says the 32-year-old. “I’m heading for the Worlds.”

The long-time Chilliwack resident found powerlifting, and has since gone on to win gold and silver med-als in provincial- and national-level

Special Olympic GamesAnd she’s done all of it despite her

weakened arm—the result of a brain tumour.

In fact, she brought back silver two weeks ago from a British Columbia Powerlifting Association competi-tion, having hoisted 97.5 kilograms in the women’s deadlift Special Olym-pic event—a new personal competi-tive record for Newell.

Though she didn’t take gold this time, her friend and training partner Joanne Bunnin took top prize with a 110-kilogram deadlift.

The pair train together three times a week with their coach Bill Stewart in preparation for the upcoming Spe-cial Olympics Canada 2014 Summer Games in Vancouver.

While their four other training partners are taking the summer off,

Newell and Bunnin have intensified their practice in an effort to win gold in their home province.

“They’ve come s o f a r, I c a n ’ t even remember now where they s t a r t e d ,” s a y s coach Stewart. “I remember both of them struggling to lift just the bar in bench press, which is only 45 pounds.”

He’s been working with the girls since they started lifting about a decade ago, but he doesn’t spend much time thinking about the past.

“I’m focused on what they’ve done last week at the last meet, more than what they’ve done since they start-

ed,” he says.And so they get back to the rack

at the Chilliwack Landing Leisure Centre Gym, Stewart changing the weights, and the women doing rep-etitions under their coach’s instruc-tion.

T h e y j o k e with each other between sets, but soon the barbell is ready and it’s back to business.

Both Newell and Bunnin are focused on next week’s Summer G a m e s , b u t they also share

a more ambitious goal. If things go well for them in Van-

couver, they hope to compete in the Special Olympics World Summer Games in Los Angeles next year.

Fellow Chilliwack resident Ryan

Kuester remembers his trip in 2011 to Athens where he competed in the World games for Canada.

“I was very nervous being the new member on the team,” says Kuester, who looked to more experienced members for advice.

Inexperienced as he was, the 26-year-old swam to victory in the 25-metre freestyle and backstroke races.

Those wins have made Kuester more confident, but he’s still a bit nervous for the Vancouver Games.

“A lot more people are going to be watching and cheering for me,” he says.

But when the buzzer sounds, Kuester says he’ll do what he did in Athens, Greece: focus on the moment and just go.◗ The Special Olympics Canada 2014 Summer Games take place at UBC British Columbia July 8 to 12. For more information, including schedul-ing visit www.vancouver2014.com.

8 CHILLIWACK TIMES Thursday, July 03, 2014 A17

summertime ➤ More and more of us have fewer and fewer dollars to spend in the summer. So why not try a holiday in your own backyard? Starting with Cultus Lake, the Times takes a look at a few tantalizing Chilliwack staycations. Next week: Harrison Hot Springs.

Enjoy your own backyardCultus lake gets its name from

the Salish word kul, which means “bad” or “worthless.” This prob-ably sounds all too accurate to Chilliwack folk—one look at the inevitable traffic jams at Keith Wilson and Vedder on sunny weekends is enough to turn anyone screaming in the other direction.

On the other hand, there are a few irrefutable reasons why Cul-tus draws crowds from the Valley, Vancouver and beyond: sand, sun, water, and a chance to relax for a few hours.

And while relaxation might be the last thing that comes to mind when you think about Main Beach, there are a few tips and

tricks to getting a better (and less crowded) experience out of this classic Chilliwack destination.

Plan a destination other than Main Beach

While the expansive docks and shallow swimming area have an unavoidable appeal, Main Beach has the unlucky honour of being the closest and largest beach at Cultus Lake—which translates to crowds.

Instead, drive just a little further and stop at Maple Bay or Spring Bay. They have the benefit of being less crowded, a little more shady, and just as excellent for lounging, swimming, and pic-nicking.

If you absolutely have to be at Main Beach, try staking out a spot away from the main docks. Com-mitting to a longer walk can result in a completely different beach experience.

Avoid the most popular timesPass over Cultus during sun-

ny or long weekends in favour

of heading out on a weekday. Try planning a few hours in the morning or a picnic lunch. Even a weekday evening will be quieter and induce less teeth-gnashing than attempting a trek to Cultus on a Saturday or Sunday.

You can also head out to Cultus on a rainy or overcast day, which will pretty much ensure the beach to yourself. While sunbathing is out of the question, Cultus is just as beautiful in the rain—and even if you get a little wet, warmer summer temperatures mean you won’t get too cold. These less popular days are perfect for tak-ing the dog out to throw a ball or go for a walk, without the worry of how your pet will interact with crowds or small children.

Other things to doHike Teapot Hill. This popular

hike is relatively short and gentle, making it perfect for a family day trip. The trail is kid- and ani-mal-friendly, and some brave

With weekends heading into the mid- to beau-tifully hot temperatures, that old summer

vacation feeling is in the air.But while exotic holidays and spur-of-the-mo-

ment road trips might be the first impressions springing to mind, there’s also no place like home to spend your summer holidays.

Ah, yes. The staycation. Staycations have become a staple of summer hol-

idays. An afternoon at the lake or a weekend camp-ing in back country, after all, is cheaper than flying to Mexico or heading on a road trip down the coast.

And with gas prices on the rise in these warmer months, and a renewed focus on saving or paying off debt for families in the current economy, Canadi-ans are more likely than ever to spend the summer months close to home. According to the Bank of Montreal’s (BMO) 2014 Summer Travel Outlook survey, 55 per cent of survey responders intend to vacation within their home province.

While the allure of a tropical vacation can tempt even the most savvy saver, Fraser Valleyians may be surprised at what they’re missing in their own back-yard. A successful staycation requires seeing your home town through new eyes, and once you start looking, you might be surprised at what the Valley has in store for the summer.

Go on. Plan a day trip. Have a Valley vacation.

Greg Laychak/TIMES

Cultus Lake is always a busy spot in summer months, for good reason. But if you can zip up on a weekday you avoid the weekend crowds.

55 per cent of Canadians will vacation in

their home province

26 per cent will vacation in another province

19 per cent don’t intend to travel

33 per cent will scale back on travel

expenses this year

68 per cent say rising gas prices affect their

summer plans

22 per cent intend to plan more staycations

Canadians say they plan to spend $1,802 per person in

summer travel in 2014 comparedto $2,226 in 2013.

Amanda Meyer (top pho-to, right) and a host of volunteers set up shop

in St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church for a few

hours of free prom prep last Thursday—offering

free manicures, pedicures, hair-styling, makeup and

lunch to girls who may not be able to otherwise afford it

on the big day. “I did make-up last year for a girl who

couldn’t really afford it, and all year I’ve just been want-

ing to do it again,” Meyer said. “Every girl deserves to

feel beautiful on her prom day.” After reaching out

on social media for supply donations, Meyer says she was overwhelmed with the

support she received—including help from two

hair-stylists, a caterer, and makeup and nail artists.

GETTING PRIM FOR PROM

souls even bring up a stroller for the very wee.

Get out on the lake. Another way to avoid the crowds at the lake is to be on the water rather than the beach. A variety of boat rentals are available at Cultus, from canoes to jet-skis. Rentals run on a per-hour basis, ranging from $20 for kayaks to $200 for more powerful motorboats. Pack a lunch and eat on the water, or make a stop at one of the many tiny, unknown beaches that line the unpopulated sides of the lake.

Explore nearby attractions The Cultus Lake Water-

park is a mere hop, skip and a jump away from the lake itself. It can be a day trip in and of itself, or you can tack an evening pass onto the end of an afternoon at the lake. If that’s not quite up your alley, maybe you’d rather

stop at the award-win-ning Beethoven’s Pizza or play a few rounds of golf at the Cultus Lake Golf Club—Giggle Ridge offers an all-ages adven-ture mini golf if you want to bring the whole family.

Leave electronics at homeTaking anything valu-

able out on the water is a seriously bad idea; every year, divers retrieve dozens of water-logged cell phones and cam-eras from the bottom of the lake. Even if your electronics get nowhere near the water, sand can irreparably damage electronics by sneaking into cracks and crevices or scratching lenses and screens. If you have a hankering to read on the beach, forget the e-read-er; bring a cheap paper-back that you won’t mind getting sand or water on. Pack a disposable cam-era for memorable vin-tage-style photographs. With only 24 exposures to a roll, you’ll think more carefully about snapping a quick pic, resulting in more meaningful images.

BY DESSA BAYROCK


If you’re ready to dive into a cornucopia of local and internation-

al art this summer, the Harrison Festival of the Arts is the place to be. Stretching from July 12 to July 20, the Harrison village will be home to everything from bag-pipers to Bhangra and hitting all the stops in between.

Executive and artistic director Andy Hillhouse says audiences will recognize local acts as well as some old festival favourites

“That’s kind of a tra-dition in the festival—bringing back some acts from the past that might have been here in earlier stages in their career,” Hillhouse explains. “We’ll continue to do that, to give an opportunity for local talent to be nur-tured here.”

Friday night of the first festival weekend is dedicated to local music, including the Langley Ukulele Ensemble and the Sabir Sisters.

But some of the acts Hillhouse is most excited for hail from a little fur-ther afield.

“Right off the top of my head, one act I’m most

excited for is a Scottish and Irish performer—Ross Aisnslie and Jarlath Henderson. They’re pipers, and they also sing and play whistle,” he says. “I saw them recently in Scotland and they blew everybody away.

He’s quick to add it’s impossible to choose a favourite act, listing off half-a-dozen others: David Francey, Quique Escamilla, Banditaliana, Mokoomba, the Langley Ukulele Ensemble.

“Everything that’s com-ing, I’m excited about,” he finishes with a laugh.

There will be a healthy dose of Canadian tunes between the two festival stages, but also an ample sampling of world music. For eight days, the Har-rison beachfront will be

a place where world art meets small town roots to form a single community.

“As a curator, I like the idea of that kind of com-munity-level connection in music and art, and I’m offering that idea of com-munity,” Hillhouse says. “In many respects, it fits in with what the festival will always be about—a high regard placed on community.”

And as always, the Festival is about so much more than music—an art market meanders along the lakefront both weekends of the festival, and other events include a night of poetry reading, an offering of one-act plays held over from UFV’s Directors’ Festival in the spring, and a crafts and activities day for

children.This is Hillhouse’s first

year at the helm of the festival, and over the next few years he expects festival-goers will start to notice a little bit of his personal touch on the festival. For the most part, however, he plans to stick to what he sees as common sense: if it’s not broken, don’t fix it.

“I think we’re lucky that the transition was from a healthy place—that’s not always the case with arts organizations,” Hillhouse says. “It’s key to make it clear to the audience that there’s some continuity with the director before and their program—there’s a festi-val tradition here.”

And as the Festival draws closer, Hillhouse emphasizes the most important tradition of the Festival Society: the feel-ing of community.

“When I talk about community, I’m talking as much about the local as I am about the national and interna-tional community,” he says. “Bringing people together may not always be within the realm of the mainstream music industry or the main-stream arts, but [it is at] a more grassroots kind of level.”

◗ The Harrison Festival of the Arts begins on July 12 and runs until July 20. More information, and full program guide is available online at har-risonfestival.com, or you can reach the Harrison Festival Society at their office at 604-796-3664.

“I’m discovering my heritage,” says Jay Havens, holding up half of an articulated heron puppet and pointing to deli-cate woven points along the side. Havens is one of two Aboriginal artists-in-residence at Fraser Valley libraries this summer. His project draws on traditional basket weaving methods, but he primarily uses plastic Walmart shopping bags as his material. The com-bination serves as a comment on the contemporary idea of the natural world, and also as a suggestion—or warning—that consumerism has become part of Aboriginal culture.

If you happen to pass your local library on a Wednesday this sum-mer, you’ll spot activity spilling

out into the green space—and there are a host of ways for you to join in.

Pack a picnic to enjoy in Salish Park while you listen to a dixieland jazz band.

Bring a drum, tambourine or big bucket to pound as part of a drum circle.

Shout out suggestions to the play-ers of Second Storey Theatre as they build a show from pure improvisa-tion.

There’s no end to the variety of performance and activities on tap as part of Music and More—a sum-mer-long, weekly community bash that plays host to local musicians, arts and crafts, and other interactive activities.

And as a partnership between the heavy hitters of the Chilliwack arts and culture scene—Chilliwack libraries, Chilliwack Arts Council, the Chilliwack Academy of Music and the City of Chilliwack—it’s the best of all worlds.

Community librarian Smitty Mill-er is the force behind Music and More on the library side; she says while the summer series began as a local extension of the Summer Reading Club, it’s grown into so much more.

“We’re doing summer reading club, and yet we want summer

activities outside the library around the library,” Miller says. “We hope to partner with anybody else in the community, since we’re all the same sort of people.”

Music and More is composed

of three basic parts: first, an hour of kids’ activities, led by a different community group each week. The Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve will talk about frogs, the YMCA will host a teddy bear picnic, and the Chilliwack Cultural Centre will lead kids in constructing a multi-media art project using the nature around them—just to name a few.

“There is an educational aspect, but it’s also things kids can do together,” says Patti Lawn, executive director at the Chilliwack Commu-nity Arts Council.

After this activity du jour—which will last around 45 minutes or so—kids and families are both invited to join in with an hour of community

music. A drum circle and the ukelele club alternate from week to week for tunes and rhythms anyone can enjoy.

Finally, Music and More evenings wind to a close with a final perfor-mance by either a local musician or a theatre troupe, with variety stretching from harmonica to fairy tales.

All in all, Wednesdays at your local library stand to be a short and sweet taste of arts and culture in Chilli-wack, as well as a reminder of the services and opportunities in your own backyard.

“What all the community agencies are trying to do is to not make any-thing terribly separate,” Miller says. “Music and More is definitely a city-wide thing.”

“We’re hoping families stick around, bring their blankets and chairs, get ready to listen to the music,” Lawn adds, “maybe bring a picnic with them and just enjoy the evening.”

Music and More started on July 2 and runs every Wednesday until August 20, alternating between the Chilliwack and Sardis libraries. Activities kick off at 5 p.m. at the Chilliwack library and 4 p.m. at the Sardis library; the next Music and More will take place on July 9 at the Sardis library. Check www.Chilli-wackArtsCouncil.com for a full list of performances, locations and times.

Summery fun at the library

“We’re hoping families stick around, bring their blankets andchairs, get ready to listen to the music.”
