Boundary changing for Promontory and Vedder Katie Bartel The Progress Chilliwack school district is expected to change the catchment area for two of its schools that will see more students going to Promontory elementary and fewer to Vedder elementary. After years of over-capacity issues at Promontory, long-term projections are now showing a significant decline, whereas at Vedder, enrollment is increasing. “The population has matured at Promontory and the enrollment projections moving ahead show they’re going to have declining enrollment,” said assistant superintendent Rohan ArulPragasam, looking specifically at incoming kindergarten students. “Longterm, if we do not make adjustments, projections could have the population decline as low as 420.” The school currently has 540 students enrolled; with six portables on site, the school has a capacity for 570 students. (The school building itself has a capacity for 388 students.) Vedder elementary is experiencing the opposite. With new development projects in the area, “Vedder elementary is exploding,” said Arul-Pragasam. “If you look at the growth for future years, they’re going to outgrow their functional capacity.” Continued: CATCHMENT/ p13

Mill Street makeover creates new vibe Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The sidewalks on Mill Street are twice as wide as they used to be, and way more pedestrian friendly. There are pretty flowering trees, stamped concrete sidewalks and distinctive lamp standards on the new one-way street in downtown Chilliwack. They’re celebrating the improvements that the City of Chilliwack made recently with a ribbon cutting Saturday morning at 10:30 on Mill Street to mark the milestone of completion. So how do the merchants

and customers like it so far? “It’s beautiful,” says Claudia Earl of Find A Treasure and Declutter.ca. “There’s a new tree planted right outside my store. “We’re fairly new to Chilliwack, and didn’t get to experience it very long the way it used to be, but the increased sidewalk space now allows us to put product outside.” Already she’s getting good feedback. There were literally hundreds of neighbours who came down on Customer Appreciation Day to check it out. It’s like there’s a new vibe on the street. “Everybody is saying how

much better it all looks.” Customers have been spotted window shopping and lingering around the shops, cafés and bakeries. Three of the Mill Street businesses serve food. They have put a couple of tables outside each storefront to allow customers to enjoy their treats al fresco. “Also we get a lot of people on mobility scooters. They have no problem navigating the street,” Earl noted. “Everyone is sharing the sidewalk. It’s so nice.” More people seem to be strolling around, agreed Kevin Klassen, owner of Harvest

Store and Café. “It looks so refreshed. It’s given the street a new life, and it’s downright sexy around here. It gives you an idea of what the rest of the downtown could be as well. “No one is cranky when they come in here. The customers love the improvements.” It’s good to see people wandering around, says Birdies Cottage Bakery and Catering owner Johanna MacDonald. “The feedback has been positive. People are saying it was time for a change.” They now have a couple of new bistro tables out front Continued: MILL/ p10

District hopes attrition will make up budget shortfall Katie Bartel The Progress Chilliwack school district is facing a $3.1 million dollar shortfall, but it’s not a budget to get worked up over. Yet. The 2014/15 budget will be first introduced to school trustees on Tuesday. The district is not planning to balance the budget through job cuts, but rather attrition and reorganization. With retirements coming from custodians, educational assistants and teachers, the district is look-

ing at reorganizing departments to maximize efficiency with less. “We’re going to give it until September,” said secretary treasurer Gerry Slykhuis. “If we still don’t have the numbers, we may have to do something in September, but we’re pretty confident we’ll get enough retirements that we’ll be okay … as long as we don’t do a bunch of hires.” The budget presentation will point out several financial constraints the school district is facing. Things like the four per cent CUPE wage increase to be fully

implemented next year; the 15 per cent BC Hydro rate increase; increases to employee benefits; and the potential for teacher and other staff wage increases currently being negotiated. As well, the cost pressures from several initiatives including continuing to implement recommendations from the special education review published last year; implementation of a new student information system; early intervention programs; and leadership development. There’s a decline in enrollment at Fraser Valley Distance

Education school, government funding uncertainty, the potential impact of the BC Supreme Court ruling on class size and composition, space issues, and more. “We’ve got about $1.1 million in cost pressures,” said Slykhuis, “and then about $1.2 million in less revenues.” Slykhuis would have preferred to present the board with a budget in the black, but acknowledged sometimes a tight budget is good for the operation as a whole. “Sometimes a tight budget gives you an opportunity to do some things that you should have been

doing anyway,” he said. “That said, I don’t want two years in a row of this because then it starts to really hurt and we don’t want to go there.” The overall budget is $125 million, of which the $3.5 million shortfall accounts for 2.5 per cent. A further breakdown of the school district’s financial constraints can be found at http:// www.sd33.bc.ca/news/mar-6-public-budget-presentation-201415-operating-budget The public board meeting is on Tuesday, May 6 at 7 p.m. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Vancouver Aquarium became the first aquarium in the world to breed Oregon spotted frogs. VANCOUVER AQUARIUM PHOTO

Tadpoles added to Agassiz ecosystem Oregon spotted frogs brought in by aquarium staff Jessica Peters Black Press The population of Oregon spotted frogs went up in Agassiz this week, following a release of the tadpoles into a local waterway. The release was organized by the Vancouver Aquarium, who recently hatched the tadpoles from egg masses. The aquarium is part of the B.C. Oregon Spotted Frog Recovery Team, and they say the release is an “important conservation milestone for a species that is in peril in British Columbia and along the Western coast of North America.” The location of the tadpoles is being kept secret, in an effort to ensure the tadpoles’ survival, Vancouver Aquarium told Black Press, but they are on Crown

land. However, this is the fourth time the aquarium has held a release in Agassiz. “As amphibians continue to face the largest mass extinction since the dinosaurs, propagation programs such as this one for the Oregon spotted frog are critical in the conservation of this and other endangered and threatened species,” said Dr. Dennis Thoney, Vancouver Aquarium’s director of animal operations. “There are only four wild populations of Oregon spotted frogs left in B.C., and so the continued success of our conservation efforts around the Oregon spotted frog is key to preventing this species from disappearing altogether.” Oregon spotted frogs have vanished from 90 per cent of their range in British Columbia. Historically, Oregon spotted frog populations had occurred throughout the Fraser Valley, from South Surrey to Hope. But loss of habitat resulting from the draining of wetlands in the Fraser

River floodplain for agriculture and the conversion of agricultural land to housing and urban development, along with the arrival of invasive species, such as reed canary grass and bullfrogs, and industrial activity have decimated the populations. Vancouver Aquarium became the first aquarium in the world to breed this species in 2010, and has successfully bred these animals each year since then for release of tadpoles to establish wild populations. Since 2009, staff have been collecting Oregon spotted frog eggs to establish an aquarium-based assurance population. The Recovery Team is working towards key goals of maintaining and expanding existing populations, and establishing six additional self-sustaining populations in B.C. Between 2011 and 2013, over 10,000 tadpoles and juvenile frogs produced in human care were released into suitable habitats to increase small existing populations in the wild.

B.C.’s school district negotiators have served notice that they will bill the teachers’ union for June employee benefit premiums if a contract settlement isn’t reached by the end of the school year. The cost of benefit premiums for the 40,000 members of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation is estimated at about $5 million a month. It would be paid by the employer only if a contract settlement is ratified by union members by the end of June, and if the BCTF does not go out on a full-scale strike by that time. Peter Cameron, chief negotiator for the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA), proposed the benefit charge as a new strategy to respond to the BCTF’s multi-stage strike action that began April 23. Teachers are refusing out-of-class supervision and communication with administration as the first phase. B.C.’s Labour Relations Act allows for the transfer of benefit costs to unions that withdraw services, but Cameron said it has never been used in a teacher dispute before. BCTF president Jim Iker said last week he considers the transfer of benefit costs to be “retaliatory and punitive” at a time when teachers are still providing full classroom service and meeting with parents. BCPSEA also notified the union that a yearend “administrative day” set for June 27 will be cancelled unless the dispute is settled. Teachers would lose a day’s pay. The second phase of the BCTF plan is rotating one-day strikes in B.C.’s 60 school districts, which could begin at any time. Phase three, a full-scale strike, would require another vote by BCTF members. In a memo to school board chairs and superintendents Wednesday, BCPSEA interim CEO Mike Roberts said there has been “no recent progress at the bargaining table and no indication from the union that it is willing to significantly compromise on any of its current demands.” Roberts reiterated BCPSEA’s position that its wage offer of 6.5% over six years is consistent with other wage settlements for provincial employees. The BCTF is seeking wage and cost-of-living increases estimated at 13.5% over three years.

The Progress collects five industry awards

45860 Spadina Ave. • 604-702-5550 Monday - Friday • 8:30 am - 5:00 pm

The Chilliwack Progress brought home the hardware from the Newspaper Excellence Awards, held at the RiverRock Hotel in Richmond Saturday night. The Progress captured a total of five “Ma Murray” editorial awards – the second most of any of the 124 member papers within the British Columbia and Yukon Community Newspaper Association. Two gold, one silver and two bronze rounded out the medal count. Top prizes went to Eric Welsh and Jenna Hauck. Welsh earned gold in sports writing for his two-part series on the challenges faced by Denis Kondrashin, a coach with Chilliwack’s Cheam Skating Club, during his journey from Moscow to Canada. “An impressive story from start to finish,” said the judges. Hauck struck gold in the portrait/personality category for her photo of local artist Max Newhouse. “Composed with beautiful colour and texture, the photographer has captured the artist in his environment,” the judges concluded. Hauck also picked up silver in the black and white feature category. The photo, part of her ongoing “iPhonography” series, was taken at the Othello Tunnels near Hope. In the feature series category, former Progress reporter Alina Konevski earned bronze for her stories on mental health. Konevski, who was with The Progress to cover a maternity leave position, explored the impact of mental illness through a series of profiles. “The series sensitively addresses the issue from the perspective of sufferers and their families,” said the judges. Progress editor Greg Knill, meanwhile, also earned bronze. His award came for an editorial he wrote on the controversy surrounding a school district decision to expel students who admitted to smoking marijuana during an out-of-town soccer trip.

They cited 500 tonnes of waste, but now they are saying they will only need to burn 370,000 tonnes after waste diversion efforts. It will cost at least $517 million, which is up from an early total of $480 million. “So they’ve dropped the volumes and increased the costs, which is not a good thing,” said Lum. Secrecy is also an issue, since they have never been forthcoming with the business case for the project, and tend to hold closed-door meetings. “They would love to have the public believe that this is a simple choice between garbage burning or landfilling,” said Lum. “It is not. Garbage burning perpetuates the need for landfilling since the ash must be landfilled. The cost to landfill that toxic ash is very expensive because nobody wants it.” More details on the plan are at www.metrovancouver.org, or e-mail to NWTE@metrovancouver.org jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

the incentive to recycle. People want to recycle more and they want to live more sustainably.” The public can play a key role in minimizing the waste, he argued, through efforts like organic waste composting and aggressively increasing recycling. “We’re really just scratching the surface. We need more pressure from the public on this as well.” Citizens of Nanaimo have recently said “no” to the idea, he noted. Lum is concerned that the costs are escalating according to Metro Vancouver figures, yet the volumes of waste that can be handled is going down.

be landfilled after. “There are better solutions out there, Lum said, and the FVRD has put forth some ideas like “advanced material recovery,” which would aggressively increase the volumes of recyclables. But WTE is safe, according to MV. “To effectively manage this remaining garbage,the Metro Vancouver Board determined that additional waste-to-energy (WTE) capacity is the best solution,” according to a handout from Metro Vancouver. “New WTE will be sized to handle only the garbage remaining after we meet our 80 per cent diversion target. “As a condition of the approval of Metro Vancouver’s Integrated Solid Waste and Resource Management Plan, the Minister of Environment required Metro Vancouver to consider ‘the full range of options both in and out of region in an equal and fair manner.’” For the Chilliwack councillor, the prospect of incineration — in or out of the Fraer Valley — is both sad and scary. “If we build a garbage burner, we lose

songs of struggle, hope, and resilience

Hard Times Come No More

Aggressively increasing recycling volumes is just one unexplored counterpoint to incineration. At least that would be a decidedly greener approach, said a Chilliwack city councillor. It is “asinine” to portray mass garbage burning as a green technology, according to Jason Lum, an FVRD director and Chilliwack city councillor. Metro Vancouver is pursuing plans for new waste-to-energy technology by building a trash incinerator, as part of a comprehensive plan to divert waste from the landfills. Lum joined fellow FVRD rep Patricia Ross Wednesday at small protest outside the Hilton at Metrotown, while Metro officials were inside making the business case to stakeholders for their WTE plan. The opponents were trying to counter the progarbage burning direction with some old-fashioned awareness raising — especially about the potential environmental impacts on a vulnerable airshed like the one in the Fraser Valley. The new incinerator site has not been decided on but there are at least three possible locations currently under consideration for the Metro WTE project, estimated to cost half a billion dollars. “They are trying to qualify it as clean, renewable energy. But the idea that burning garbage is in any way clean or green energy is ridiculous. It’s an embarrassment really.” One problem is the toxic fly ash that has to

Mill St. just the beginning

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

The official opening of the renovated Mill Street this weekend is as welcome as spring blossoms (see story, front page). But it will take more than patios and new pavement to keep the downtown strong. It will take a continued commitment by the community to support the businesses located there. The city spent more than a half-million dollars to improve Mill Street. Changes include a wider sidewalk, ornamental trees and improved lighting. It maintained parking, but at the expense of two-way traffic on the street. (That shouldn’t be a problem; Wellington has been one-way for years.) The combination of Mill Street and Wellington, connected with Central Community Park, provides a great focal point for the downtown. But without business, those stores and the people they employ won’t be around for long. That’s where we come in. Renovations to Mill Street have been talked about for years. They’re part of the on-going conversation about ways to reinvigorate the entire downtown. So far, much of that dialogue has centred on what’s coming down, not what’s going up. City councillor Ken Popove is hoping the new Mill Street will change that conversation. “People have the perception of us knocking down buildings and making parking lots,” he told The Progress as work first began back in February, “but this is what we’re working toward in terms of redevelopment.” That may be true, but some rather large potholes still remain in the city’s road to redevelopment. The new pocket park at the corner of Young and Yale looks nice, but it can’t hide the fact that it, and the neighbouring Empress Hotel site, are no longer part of the city’s tax revenue stream. Nor are they contributing to the overall economic vitality of the city. Patience may be a virtue, but it can also be costly. Nonetheless, the renovation of Mill Street is a good start, and a victory that should be celebrated. Chilliwack taxpayers have invested in the downtown’s future. Now it is up to us to ensure that investment pays off by supporting the merchants. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

Aquarium controversy not so cut and dry There’s a showdown coming between the Vancouver Public Aquarium and the City of Vancouver Park Board. The anticaptive whale folks have been beating their chests that the facility should no longer keep their belugas and white sided dolphins and that the policy of captive whales should be phased out. This debate is not new and, to be fair, it is a legitimate discussion. Keeping these highly intelligent, sensitive, far-roaming animals in something akin to a bathtub has raises troubling ethical issues for decades among both the general public and marine mammal experts alike. And it has increased exponentially as the public has become better educated about the natural life of whales not only from television documentaries but from the conservation and education program offered by the aquarium

and the increasingly popular whale boat tours. This week the debate comes to a head as the Vancouver Park Board considers a review of the aquarium’s operations and discusses whether the practice of keeping whales in captivity should be phased out. The question could go to a pubMargaret lic referendum this year. EVANS All this comes at a time when the aquarium is in the midst of a major $100 million expansion not only to the pools but also the facility’s aging infrastructure. The expansion was in the planning stages for over a decade and was subject to considerable public consultation in 2006. With strong public sup-

port, the Vancouver Park Board approved the expansion which will see new and improved aquatic habitats. These will allow the return of beluga whales that had been loaned out to other accredited aquariums in advance of construction. The Vancouver Aquarium is a world class facility and the care of its animals is exemplary. It is a leader in research, conservation, and education. Its policies in breeding and captivity are ahead of the curve. And it was the first aquarium in the world to make a commitment in 1996 to no longer capture whales and dolphins from the wild. The decision was to only exhibit those animals already being kept in an aquarium prior to 1996, cetaceans that were born in a zoo or aquarium, or cetaceans that had been rescued and rehabilitated but

were non-releasable because of permanent injury. According to the aquarium’s website, the last dolphin captured for display was in 1971 and the last cetacean of any kind was captured in 1990 when Aurora, the beluga, joined the ranks. As for Helen and Hana, the two white sided dolphins, they came to the aquarium as badly injured animals from fixed fishing nets on the east coast of Japan. Contrary to what some claim, they did not come as a result of the Japanese drive fisheries, a practice condemned by accredited aquariums across North America. Helen and Hana, while rehabilitated, are not releasable. But they are contributing to research to help scientists understand how dolphins perceive nets. The results could lead to the development of dolphin-safe nets in the future. In

addition, constant monitoring of cetacean health adds to the data the aquarium has gathered over the decades which could provide insights into better conservation policies given the changing climatic conditions in the wild belugas’ Arctic habitat. Among the highlights of the aquarium’s work have been the rescue, rehabilitation and release of injured marine mammals, most notably and most recently the harbour porpoise, Levi. The aquarium hosts over a million visitors a year, many drawn to the icon cetacean inhabitants. But the Park Board may decide in its wisdom (or lack thereof), that cetaceans must go. Since they can’t be returned to the wild, they would have to be traded off elsewhere. That would be a very bad move.

Maybe the ALR is working just fine I grew up in Richmond. In the 1940s Lulu Island was known for its loganberries. Richmond Farms, located West of No. One Road between Williams and Blundell Roads and Frasea Farms on Sea Island, each had their own bottling plants and supplied most of the City of Vancouver with its dairy products. The area South of Steveston Highway held the record for the largest yield of potatoes per acre in Canada. But by the late 1950s the pressure for development became too great. Municipal elections became flooded with money. Unknown candidates were able to buy seats on council and town planning went out the window. Subdivisions were scattered willy-nilly and infrastruc-

ture was expensive. I think of all those fish bearing drainage ditches that are now encased in concrete. The Agricultural Land Reserves gave the municipalities the power to enforce their zoning bylaws. Today, I live on 10 acres in the Agricultural Land Reserve in Yarrow. My house was built in the 1970s. My property is a narrow strip less than 300 feet wide. But it is still worth about $800,000. Compare that to what I could buy for the same money in Surrey or Langley. It is priced as residential land not farm land. It’s a life style choice. Clint Hames proposals (More work needed on ALR reform, Chilliwack Progress, April 11) would make it even cheaper and

in more demand. I should be renovating my raspberry field but what is the point; when I sell it, it will only become pasture for some millionaire’s horse. But at $30,000 to $40,000 per acre what could I grow to pay the interest on that amount of money? Most of my neighbours are also on small acreages. Many of them have their lands rented out to dairy farmers or other legitimate growers at minimum benefit just to maintain their agricultural tax assessments. Maybe the property owners are subsidizing farmers and the Agricultural Land Reserve is having the desired benefit after all?

The inconvenient truth about powering down

Re: “Build the oil refineries in Fort McMurray, Progress letters, April 30. If only it were that simple. Okay, build a refinery there with the money you saved from building pipelines. Now, what do you do with the gasoline, diesel and jet fuel you produce? You have to build a pipeline. Then, how do you market the valuable by-products left behind that are in demand worldwide for products we use every day and the (bitumenasphalt )road we drive on? I got it: dilute the residue with some diesel and build another pipeline.

I like the idea of ‘hitting the switch’ to turn off my TV and DVD. The only thing stopping me is the PVR from Telus. Reconnecting the power to the PVR can be a nightmare. It involves a re-initialization to re-establish a link and can take minutes or hours or longer. The few times I have had to do this, new

software updates created a lengthy technical call to fix the problems, even having to replace the PVR at one point. Until this is changed, I won’t be turning off the power bar and saving any money. Impatience has nothing to do with this, just convenience. Julie Bishop

Senate reform is still possible After a career of railing against the Senate, Prime Minister Stephen Harper now says that we’re “stuck with the status quo”. Canadians don’t have to settle for this defeatism—there is a practical plan left to fix our broken Senate. Mr. Harper was reacting to a unanimous Supreme Court ruling that his proposed reforms would require constitutional amendments approved by at least seven provinces representing 50% of the population. Abolishing it would require the unanimous consent of all ten provinces.

Canadians don’t want to open up the constitution for a long, rancorous debate with the provinces that would distract from solving their problems. Yet the problem is worse today than when Mr. Harper started eight years ago. He has turned the Senate into a hyper-political, hyper-partisan chamber, which he personally stocked with the likes of Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau. Fortunately there is a better way. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau has a plan to remove partisanship and patronage from

the Senate, and to restore the original purpose of the Fathers of Confederation: a chamber of sober, second thought. Under a Trudeau government, all Senators would be appointed through an open, transparent and non-partisan appointment process. Senators would be selected on quality and good judgment, picking the best of the best from each province. Parties and partisanship would become a thing of the past. No constitutional battles required. Scott Simms, MP Liberal Party of Canada Critic for Democratic Reform

When Josh first heard of the free after-school floor hockey at A.D. Rundle, he was curious but intimidated. Along with a friend, he found the courage to try it after school one day and they really enjoyed the fun and friendly co-ed event. He started attending various Community Youth Recreation programs such as the afterschool football club, and ski trips and paintball during Spring Break. Not only did these events provide Josh and his friends an opportunity to increase their active health and self-confidence, but it also offered them a sense of belonging. “The program pushed me a little bit and really boosted my confidence. Being part of the crew really gave me a sense of safety and made me feel like I belonged there.” The Community Recreation Program offers Chilliwack youth the opportunity to connect and be part of an active community where they can take healthy risks and grow as individuals. Through fabulous community partnerships, we are able to offer an array of free after-school events such as mixed martial arts, yoga, swimming and movie nights. Spring Break and Summer Break activities include river clean-ups, hike clubs, swims at the Rotary pool, and beach days. For more information, contact Rob at 604-819-8539 or skinnerr@comserv.bc.ca.

The idea was one of the ways suggested to make the downtown core more attractive, livable and responsive to growth.

B.C. urged to pick up heritage protection costs Jeff Nagel Black Press

CUT DOWN YOUR POWER BILL

There’s growing concern that developers who unexpectedly uncover ancient aboriginal sites quietly discard archaeological artifacts and perhaps even human remains to dodge the cost and hassle of obeying provincial law. B.C.’s Heritage Conservation Act makes the property owner responsible for archaeological impact assessments on undiscovered heritage sites and pay all related costs before construction. But some observers say it’s time to revisit that requirement because the high costs deter proper reporting and compliance with the legislation. “What happens now is artifacts get found on a project and they’re real quick to put them in a dump truck and get them the hell out of there,” Delta artifacts trader Tony Hardie said. “They don’t want to have a bill, have a delay or have to deal with all the politics and red tape of having the First Nation involved.” Metro Vancouver’s aboriginal relations committee voted Wednesday to urge the province to ease or eliminate the burden of archaeological costs for private property owners. The province so far insists it’s sticking to the “developer-pay principle.” But Belcarra Mayor Ralph Drew, the committee’s vice-chair, calls that a mistake.

Ralph Drew

“If you want to increase the possibility of protecting archaeological heritage then you need to motivate property owners to do the right thing in terms of reporting,” Drew said. He said the current law has good goals but the huge downside of extra costs and delay actually spurs land owners to keep quiet and toss rare finds in the dump truck for disposal. Manitoba and Alberta already pay the costs of archaeological studies and interment of found human remains on behalf of property owners. Ontario property owners who uncover remains can ask to have their costs reimbursed if it’s deemed an undue financial burden. Continued: ANCIENT/ p12

WHAT IS AN ADVANCE DIRECTIVE?

Current law puts ancient finds at risk: Critics

A written instruction given by a capable adult to give or refuse consent to health care in the event that he or she is unable to give instructions at the time the health care is required.

A Metro report says offering the same option in B.C. would ensure human remains are treated with respect and dignity and the province would be able to ensure remains aren’t covered up, concealed or otherwise mismanaged by property owners. Other options, according to Metro, are for the province to give property owners a tax credit to offset their heritage preservation costs. Archaeological expenses can be huge – $400,000 in the case of one private property in south

Vancouver in the Marpole Midden area, $300,000 for the owners of a Kamloops winery and $35,000 in the case of an elderly Parksville couple trying to get clearance to build a one-storey house. Part of the challenge for property owners and developers, Drew said, is that those who try to follow the rules can still face long delays because the province doesn’t have enough staff to administer the Heritage Conservation Act. “Provincially, at the moment there’s three people for the whole province.” The issue is also before the courts.

Victoria resident Wendi MacKay sued the province for $600,000 in costs, delays and lost value to her property after being ordered by the province to do archaeological work before she could build an addition to her house. B.C. Supreme Court last year found in her favour – on the basis the legislation didn’t give provincial staff the power to make such an order – but the government is appealing. A spokesman with the forests and lands ministry said the province is committed to protecting heritage resources, but no change in policy is under consideration.

Damon Plewes, a Grade 12 Sardis secondary student, leads a group of Grade 3 Tyson elementary students through the high school’s greenhouse on Wednesday. More than 300 students visited the school, over a threeday span this week, where they learned all things farming from Grade 11 and 12 students taking agriculture. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Students become the teachers at SSS Katie Bartel The Progress “I have one question,” the little boy asked, his nose scrunched and his eyes wide with wonder. “What is that smell?” The answer given was not technical, nor was it filled with authoritative science mumbo jumbo. Rather, it was one word that a boy in Grade 3 could surely understand and remember. Standing in the Sardis secondary agriculture department’s red barn, with chickens scampering about, Derrick Huizenga smiled confidently before letting the answer fall from his mouth. “Poop,” he said. Huizenga, a Grade 12 student

at Sardis secondary, was one of several Grade 11 and 12 students to take on the role of teacher this week. Students in the high school’s sustainable resources courses (agriculture) taught hundreds of Grade 2s and 3s the fundamentals of gardening – as a way of mastering their own knowledge in the subject. Over a three-day span, from Wednesday to Friday, more than 300 students from Unsworth elementary, Sardis elementary, Tyson elementary, Yarrow elementary and Watson elementary attended. It was the second time the agriculture department had offered the event; the first in 2012. “This is an opportunity for

For Grade 12 student Darrian Ryce, it’s a field trip she would have loved as a young student. “I love gardening,” she said, talking a mile a minute, every word filled with excitement. “I think it’s important to learn about agriculture, especially in Chilliwack, because 67 per cent of Chilliwack is agriculture based. “I hope this will further their knowledge and interest in agriculture and gardening.” Given the young squeals of delight heard coming from every corner on Wednesday afternoon, that goal may very well have been achieved. At the planting station, pudgy fingers patted down the dirt around their flowers, and twinkling eyes

our students to highlight their strengths and to have fun with their learning,” said teacher Tania Toth. “It’s giving them the chance to be a leader, a mentor, and to practise the topics they’re learning.” The junior planters were toured through several areas of farming education. They visited the red barn with the chickens and rooster, and some even had the lucky opportunity to witness the hypnotization of a chicken by one of the senior students. They learned about good bugs and bad bugs in the school’s greenhouse that was filled with a rainbow of potted plants and flowers. And they even got to pot their own marigolds and petunias.

admired the bright colours. One of the teenaged teachers quizzed her young subjects why it necessary to regularly water their plants. The answers were quick. “So we don’t kill it,” said one boy. “So the soil doesn’t get so hot it dies,” said another. Walking past the chicken coop, a boy wags his arm at the rooster inside. “One rooster has to fertilize all those eggs?” he questioned. “Whoa!” Grade 12 student Carmen Taylor loved the opportunity it provided her. “We’re usually sitting in a classroom having [educational] stuff Continued: AGRICULTURE/ p30

SERIOUS PROTECTION

DOES YOUR BOX LOOK LIKE THIS?

A tire also performs best, lasts longer and provides best fuel economy when its internal pressure is set at a level recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, and checked on a regular basis. The tire decal, with optimal front and rear recommended tire pressures, is usually on the driver’s door or door jam. If not, the owner’s manual should give you the information and/or tell you where the tire decal is located. A single under-inflated tire (by about 6 psi /40 kPa) can cause a 3 per cent increase in fuel consumption. Using a grade of fuel with a lower octane rating than recommended by the vehicle manufacturer may cause the engine to ping or knock on hard acceleration or when climbing hills, which is not good for the engine! On the other hand, using a higher-octane fuel than your vehicle’s engine needs is generally a waste of money. That said, the pricier fuel may also contain some additional cleaner additives, which is good. Have a great summer and a safe driving vacation. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

Naked bikes tend to have a more upright seating and handlebar position and are devoid of fancy bodywork covering the engine and mechanical components. You still get quite a bit of sportiness out of these, but without the aggressive seating and the stress on your wrists.

of time? Consider a sport touring motorcycle. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re generally not as heavy or as elaborate as a full on touring bike, so you get the best of both worlds. Bikes: BMW K1300S, BMW K1600GT, Yamaha FJR1300, Honda VFR1200 Touring: When asked how Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d describe a Touring bike I say: not small!

Their fuel tanks are generally much bigger so you can keep going for longer. Furthermore, storage compartments, relatively speaking, are quite generous. Bikes: Harley-Davidson Electra Glide/Ultra Limited, Honda Goldwing, Suzuki Boulevard C90T B.O.S.S. Trials: Those looking into trying riding without the high speeds might fall in love with trials riding. But get ready for a workout. If you look, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no seat. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re meant to stand. Trials is a slow speed type of thrill where you manage obstacles and find ways to do things that even you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think was possible. Think: riding up huge logs, up steep hills and over some interesting terrain. Either way, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of fun and both physically and mentally challenging.

Dirt bikes are restricted to the dirt, meaning, unless you have a dual sport bike that has a license plate, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ride them in the road.

A real stretch for BMW lovers The all-new BMW 335GT is the long wheelbase 3 Series, developed for China, modified for a niche market here.

‘‘

Zack Spencer

’’

A recent jaunt to Beijing was a major revelation, from the sheer size of the population to the massive car market and the types of cars people there like to buy. In the luxury segment, elongated versions of existing sedan are very popular. There “long” wheelbase cars instantly show that the owner has attained a certain level of status and a big part of that is being chauffeur driven. In Canada, we have long wheelbase sedans but typically, they are top models like a BMW 7 Series or S-Class Mercedes. In China, even base models like the BMW 3 Series or Audi A4 have stretched versions. I raise this because the all-new BMW 335GT is the long wheelbase 3 Series, developed for China, modified for a niche market here. Looks: Adding 10 cms of additional legroom to the back seat of the 335GT opens up a different experience for rear passengers. The GT offers slightly higher seating position and roofline with a hatchback design that makes for a dramatic and functional car. BMW does have a 3 Series station wagon but it looks like a wagon, this design mimics a sedan silhouette with only a slight hint of the cars true practicality. There is a wing that emerges out of the hatch at highway speeds to produce more down force, similar to the one found in Porsche’s Panamera. The GT is sold as a 328GT, with a $48,990 starting price. It has a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and 18-inch wheels. The $56,990 335GT has a larger turbocharged 6-cylinder engine and 19-inch wheels. Inside: The 3 Series sedan is already fitted with top-notch materials and a functional dash. This is carried over to the GT model, so the front seats remain unaltered. It is the back of the car that is dramatically different. With added legroom and a higher roofline the GT feels open, especially when fitted with the panoramic roof. My kids loved the extra space but noticed the doors sit a bit higher compared to a regular mid-size SUV. The hatch has no rear wiper so expect rear visibility to be blurry on rainy

www. CHILLIWACK chilliwackford .com 30309 5-09F CF1

or snowy days. The hatch is electronically operated and provides a long and wide cargo area, plus the rear seats fold in a snap. Drive: The 3 Series sedan has been considered the

benchmark in the compact luxury market for decades and a lot of the same goodness is here in the GT. With a longer wheelbase and a slightly higher centre of gravity it doesn’t handle as nimbly

as the sedan but it is much better than the taller X3 SUV. The power from either 241 hp turbocharged 4-cylinder or the 300 hp turbocharged 6-cylinder engines goes to all four wheels and is shifted

through a very slick 8-speed auto box. Verdict: The GT falls into a very nice spot in the 3 Series family, and I include the X3 in that group. The sedan is a great car but not as practical

as the X3. Yes the X3 has traditional SUV appeal but looses some of the sedans nimbleness. This is where the GT plays. It has a bigger cargo area than the X3, more rear legroom but it also has more

a sedan stance on the road. The price is more expensive than the X3 so this is a premium offering in the BMW family. If I were in the market for a BMW the 335GT or less expensive 328GT would be in the running. With kids I lake having and SUV but still want the fun and stability that a sedan offers.

Luxury sport ute with an emphasis on safety first The 2014 Infiniti QX60 is a luxurious sport utility vehicle that puts safety above everything else. Looks: The QX60 is a very attractive vehicle to these eyes; it has distinctive Infiniti looks. The

“They’re not safe. But it would only be a problem in an accident.”

Confessions of a Curber I was getting good at this, so I purchased a used vehicle in the U.S. and imported it. It didn’t have any airbags, so the warning lights were on. But I wasn’t picky. I knew, based on my other tricks, I could solve that before I had it inspected and registered. You just couldn’t be too worried about the truth. I Googled airbags. I saw I had three options. Get certified replacements installed at a repair shop. Buy some and install them myself. Or, override the warning light. I called and found that the first option was out of the question. Way too expensive. But, option two had some promise. There were cheap ones online. Of course, there were some warnings about dangerous fake airbags. Option three, overriding the warning lights, went too far – even for me. You can find how-to videos about anything on the web. So, I ordered cheap ones and had them sent to my U.S. mailbox. I used a buddy’s garage and put them in. Bingo! The warning lights went off and I was on my way. Soon, I had an ad up on several classified websites: Great car for sale. Moving out of the country and need to sell fast! Good condition. Recently inspected. Call cell. I’m flexible on price!! I couldn’t believe how many calls I had. I found my buyer not long after. A nice man about my age; divorced with three kids. That’s all I know about him – I don’t like getting too personal. I was actually honest about the vehicle this time. I told him that the car had been in an

accident and was from the U.S. I asked if he wanted a vehicle history report*, but he declined. He appreciated my honesty, as he’d gone through a few bad deals. With the transaction done, we parted ways. Then I got a call from my buddy. Being a curious person, he’d read the boxes the airbags came in that I’d left at his shop. “You installed counterfeit airbags,” he said. “So? They look identical to the original airbags,” I said. “I’ve seen videos of bogus airbags catching fire and with metal bits exploding when they deploy. They’re not safe,” he scolded. I’ll take my chances, I thought. It would only be a problem in an accident. The next day, my buddy left a message. He ended our friendship. Whoa, chill out. A guy’s got a right to make a few bucks.

The safety features of this vehicle are incredible and I think most people would feel very safe driving it.

getting comfortable it is really not that big. If you are a . . . now how can I put this delicately? – If you are an amply proportioned person really spend some time trying out all of the seat positions. Once in the driver’s seat I found the controls well positioned and easy to operate. I liked the navigation screen with 3D mapping, the monitor offers a bird’s eye view of the vehicle and detects moving objects thus providing more help in backing up in a tight parking lot. It features an 8-way power driver’s seat with adjustable lumbar support, 6 way power front passenger’s seat, 60/40 split folding and sliding second row bench seat that allows easy entry/ exit even with a child seat installed, 50/50 split folding third row seat that reclines. The audio system is a 6 speaker, AM/FM/CD with MP3 playback capability and has a speed sensitive volume control. The AWD model receives a Bose 13 speaker premium system. Safety first: The QX60 includes dual stage front airbags with seatbelt and occupant sensors, driver and

Infiniti recognizes how important it is to have children secure in their vehicles. They have developed a latch system that securely anchors a compatible child seat.

Drives-UCrazy There is little more annoying than the power trips exhibited in parking lots. You are in a busy shopping mall lot and after minutes of cruising you see a driver return to his car and load up. As he climbs in he notices you waiting patiently and that’s when the mind games start. He combs his hair in the mirror and fiddles with the radio or some other time wasting activity. Finally, you figure he’s waiting for a passenger and you pull past him. The moment you do, he backs out. What drives-u-crazy? keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Wellness Food for thought on ‘mindless eating’ consumed. Here’s why. We mentally think they ‘don’t count’ because it’s just a few here and there (a few blueberries, just a lick of the spoon, and so on). So even though the mindless eating can add up to a meals’ worth of calories during the day, you won’t register that you consumed the food. Mindless snacking does not satisfy the emotional need to enjoy food. Food is more than fuel and nourishment; we are meant to enjoy food. Most people get a lot of pleasure out of good food. But popping a few candies while you stand at the cupboard or while your mind is preoccupied on something else is not satisfying. You’ll just want more. The tough part about mindless, impulsive snacking is that many people feel that they are unaware that they are doing it. If you struggle with mindless snacking, follow these five steps to help curb the habit. 1. Keep a food journal. Most people have heard this advice before; and many people decide they do not need to for their own ‘unique’ reason (I don’t have time, I’m

not writing it down but I know what I’m eating and so on). If you are already keeping one, great, keep going. If you’ve kept one in the past you already understand the benefits. If you want to improve your eating habits, start tracking. Save yourself time by committing to track your food right away instead of thinking you can do it in your head, realize that it doesn’t work, and then starting a journal weeks later. Track what you eat, how much you eat, and how you are feeling. A food journal is simply to provide a written account of what you eat. It does not judge you or measure your self worth. Do not ‘not write things down’ because you don’t

want to record the handful of chocolate blueberries you ate. Write it down, and write how you felt (bored, stressed, anxious, happy, etc.) 2. Look at your food journal to ensure that you are providing your body with enough nutrition. The purpose or the food journal is to build awareness into your eating habits, and to ensure that you are eating enough during the day to fuel your body. Sometimes, if you find yourself standing in front of the fridge after dinner, you may actually be hungry. Look back at your food journal to see if you have eaten enough during the day to nourish your body. Did you eat enough protein, fat Continued: DIET/ p26

Last week, while on a morning run, my running partner and I were talking about falling into bad eating habits. Like many people, we both struggle with snacking. I’m not talking about the healthy planned Tanja snack SHAW of half an apple and a handful of almonds. I’m talking about the mindless and impulsive eating. The late night rummage through the cupboards in search for something satisfying, or a few handfuls of cereal here and there, or a few bites of a leftover peanut butter and jam sandwich. In my friend’s case, it was a handful of chocolate covered blueberries while making supper, followed by a few more handfuls while doing the dishes. Throughout the evening there would be a few more ventures into the kitchen for more. Hungry? No. Bored? Definitely. The problem is not the type of food that was eaten; chocolate covered blueberries, peanut butter, or any food for that matter, can be part of a healthy diet. The problem is the way they are

you really do want it, and it is worth the calories, then go ahead and enjoy. But enjoy with gusto. Don’t waste the flavours and textures of your favourite treats by scarfing them down while watching TV or standing at the counter, or sneaking a few bites of dessert after everyone else has had some and you’re putting it away in the kitchen. Portion out a serving, eat it slowly and enjoy every single bite. Eat enough so that you feel satisfied, and then stop. Do not feel guilty. Do not feel like you’ve wrecked your diet.

Having treats further away does not mean you cannot have them, it just means that you will have the opportunity to think about what you are doing before you have them. 4. Stop and Think. Now that your treats are somewhat inconveniently stored, you have time to stop and think. Ask two simple questions before indulging. 1. Do I really want it? 2. Is it worth the calories? You may even want to write these questions on a note on your treats as a reminder. If you answer no to either questions, stop and decide to pass on the treat. If you truthfully answer yes to both questions, go to step 5. 5. Indulge and enjoy with gusto. If you decide that

them somewhat inconvenient to access. At work, simply putting the treats a few steps further away may be enough to deter mindless eating. It is a lot easier to snack on cookies or salted peanuts when they are on your desk than if they are in another room. At home, put treats in a top cupboard so that you need to get a step stool to access them. Sealed containers, or bags with tight knots, can also work. In my experience, the freezer doesn’t work too well. Frozen treats are still tasty, and the freezer is so close to the fridge!

More charges for auto team’s most wanted A prolific auto thief is back in police custody, arrested for a second time this month. Thirty-two year old Chilliwack resident Shaun Darryl Bolko was picked up last Saturday after the RCMP’s Crime Reduction Unit found a stolen Ford F-350 pickup truck. It was taken from the 9000 block of Birch Street and recovered at the corner of Yale Road and Menzies Street. Bolko, who’s been identified in the RCMP’s prolific offender program, recently made the Integrated Municipal Provincial

Auto Crime Team’s list of British Columbia’s top 10 auto crime offenders. In late March he was picked up in Abbotsford after they found him near a stolen Ford F250 pickup truck. He now faces charges of possession of stolen property and breach of probation. Bolko will stay in custody until May 5. April was auto crime month in British Columbia. “A small percentage of people commit the vast majority of the property crime in the Upper Fraser Valley,” said Cpl. Brock Rayworth of the Chilliwack

“This was a refreshing break, a nice change outside of every day schooling.” And even though the information they were teaching was at a much lower level from their learning, “it still tests our knowledge,” said Taylor. The event, this year, was two fold. Not only did it have an educational purpose, but also a building community function. The school district’s new, five-acre agriculture centre on Richardson Avenue, opening this fall, will include a school community garden where elementary classes will have the opportunity to plant their own gardens under the guidance of Sardis secondary students. “It’s a good tool to use to bring our school communities together,” said Toth. With the hopes of inspiring the next generation of farmers. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

S Stopping i the h slice li The fact is, slicers do not understand how to square up the club face correctly, writes Jennifer Greggain In today’s column, Jennifer Greggain, the director of instruction at the Chilliwack Golf and Country, talks about the psychology of the slice.

Two of the world’s top long-distance runners spent the week in Chilliwack, making training runs along the Rotary Vedder River trail. Paul Kimugul (left) finished first at least weekend’s 10 kilometre Sun Run, with Soloman Kipkemboi Rotich finishing sixth. Both are from Kenya, and both are getting ready for Sunday’s BMO Marathon in Vancouver. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Slammer coaches reunite with Chiefs The Chilliwack Chiefs announced Wednesday that Kyle Adams has been hired as associate coach. Adams has spent the last five years coaching at the junior A level. That includes three years working with current Chiefs head coach Jason Tatarnic when both were with the Woodstock Slammers. “I’ve known him for a long time, so this should be a real easy transition,” Tatarnic said. “When players arrive for training camp in the fall I think it is important for them to see a staff that is on the same page right from day one, delivering the same message. “All of the coaches are equal in their opinions and thought process,” he continued. “Their opinions matter and their

ideas may be the correct lots of players from one at times. The players Ontario.” Adams played univerhave to see the coaches working toward a com- sity hockey for the Wilfrid Laurier Golden mon goal.” Hawks and Adams’ duties bounced around will include the minor pro recruiting, and ranks for a spell.

three years respected and appreciated him.” His involvement with the Chiefs dates back to the team’s first season in Chilliwack (1990), when he joined up as a 16 year old blueliner. He was an assistant coach in 2000 when the team won a BCHL championship and finished third at the RBC Cup tournament in Fort McMurray, AB. Fun fact. Nicolls played nine games for Roller Hockey International’s Portland Rage in 1993. When I first arrived I had a few discussions with Paul,” Tatarnic said. “I think I piqued his curiosity a bit as he saw the direction we wanted to go. The more we talked, the more he wanted to be involved, and I think he’s a solid addition to the coaching staff.”

Most golfers have experienced the dreaded slice at some point in their golf career. But what is the root cause of one of the most common faults in the golf swing? The most desperate slicers often turn to magazines and golf tip videos, most of which correctly state that the slicing curve is caused by an ‘out to in’ club path. Although this observvation ation is correct, there is a deeper root cause at work. The fact is, slicers do not understand how to square up the club face correctly. They have hit several shots with the club face open, and have observed the ball sailing to the right of their target. From there, instinct sets in. Human beings learn from a negative feedback loop. Meaning, if there is a result that doesn’t match with a pattern in the brain, the brain will w ill adapt by making an adjustment. In the case of the slice, the brain will instinctively tell the slicing golfer to aim and swing more to the left (for a right handed player), in order to prevvent ent the ball going to the right. However, this adjustment will actually worsen the problem, and cause the ball to slice even more. In the end, the golfer’s frustrations rise, and enjoyment of the game goes down. So how does this golfer combat a slice? Easy. First, this golfer must learn to square the club face

correctly. Once the golfer is able to do this, and probablyy see the ball go left, the brain will naturally understand that itt no longer needs to swing to the left, and the path will naturallyy stay on plane for straighterr shots. Easier said than done. How does a golfer properly y square up the club face? This is a topic that has been discussed for decades, yet most golfers still hit slices. Some players try to square up the club face by ‘flipping’ orr rotating their wrists through impact. Again, this adjustment is not quite correct because itt leads to a weak impact position with inconsistent contact. Golfers must learn to use theirr hands to square up the club face while still maintaining a strong impact position. Try taking some half swings, feeling like your lead wrist is remaining ahead of the club head. Square up the club face while rotating the knuckles off your lead wrist down to the ground. When done correctly, you should see the club face square up while also hitting more consistently solid shots. .Jennifer teaches golf to adults and juniors at the Chilliwack Golf Academy. She played professionally on tour for over 10 years, includ-ing 2 years on the LPGA. She was also named the 2010 CN N Canadian Women’s Tour Low Teaching Pro of the Year, and d is now the lead instructor of the Sardis Golf Academy.

MUNN

John Edgar Munn, known as Ted to everyone who was blessed to know him, passed away April 26th 2014 after a courageous battle with cancer. Ted was born in Belle River Prince Edward Island on October 12, 1937. During a successful career in the Airforce, Ted was stationed around the world including service in India, Pakistan, Lebanon, and more. Eventually his military career brought him back home to Canada, to the Airforce Base in Comox on Vancouver Island. It was there that Ted met his wife Sandra, and the two were married on April 27th 1968. Soon the couple moved to Ottawa Ontario, where their son Jason was born. Ted’s last posting in the Airforce was in Summerside PEI, and it was always special to him that his daughter Melissa was born there in his home Province. After leaving the Service in 1979, Ted & family drove out West, back to British Columbia to put down roots in Chilliwack. Ted built a wonderful family home in Greendale, and the family enjoyed many happy years there. In 1993 the family moved to Sardis, to a street & neighbourhood filled with wonderful people who would become Ted & Sandra’s nearest and dearest friends. He would be so delighted with the tremendous love and support that these friends have provided over these last few difficult months. Ted’s AirForce career centred around the repair of Search & Rescue helicopters, in fact every career path he took involved his great talent for mechanical know-how. If Ted Munn was in your life, odds are that he helped fix something in your house, your yard, or even your car. Everyone knew that “Teddy can fix it”. When Ted semi-retired, he began his own Handyman business – again putting his vast talents to good work. Eventually the golf clubs began calling his name on a more consistent basis, and soon Ted could be found on the course with his golfing buddies. Ted was so proud of the friendships he created out on the golf course, he treasured every moment of it. Ted was also a committed member of the Mount Cheam Lion’s Club, and valued the work this organization undertakes. Ted Munn was a devoted Husband, Father, Grandfather and Friend. He will be greatly missed. Ted is survived by his wife Sandra, his son Jason, his daughter Melissa and her husband Mike, and his grandchildren Carter and Ava. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. A special thank-you to Doctor Jan Kroeze, Doctor R Bull, the wonderful people at both Chilliwack General Hospital and Cascade Hospice. Your dedication and compassion is greatly appreciated.

Baker Judy Alma

Margaret, aged 75, passed peacefully into the presence of the Lord early in the morning on April 30, 2014 at Chilliwack Hospital. Her memory will be cherished and celebrated by her husband of over 56 years, William Edward Hamm, aged 77, daughters Carol Dakin and Nancy Wieler and son, Roger Hamm as well as her six grandchildren, Spencer Dakin, Bobby, Mikhail and Amarissa Wieler, and Justin and Curtis Hamm. Born Margaret Rose Ewert at Steinbach, Manitoba on June 14, 1938 to the late John Tobias and Katharina Ewert, “Marg” as she was known to those close to her, lived a life rich in service toward God and others. Moving with her parents from Steinbach, MB to Sardis, BC in 1945, Margaret spent most of her growing years in the Fraser Valley. She began working for the City of Chilliwack in 1955 and married William on August 21, 1959 at Greendale Mennonite Church, Chilliwack, BC. In 1965, she resigned her position at the City of Chilliwack and in 1966 she and William moved to Prince George, BC where they lived until 1970. In 1970, the Hamms moved to Lillooet, BC where they were known for their sacrificial hospitality and outreach to those in need. In 1980, she and William co-founded Lillooet Full Gospel church which they pastored until 2005, when they retired to Chilliwack where she lived out the rest of her life. A memorial service honouring Margaret’s life and love will be held at 2:00PM on Saturday, May 3, 2014 at First Avenue Christian Assembly at 46510 First Avenue, Chilliwack, BC. Tea to follow.

Anton Vivian Stander was born in Johannesburg, South Africa on January 23, 1936, and died peacefully at the Cascade Hospice in Chilliwack on May 1, 2014, at the age of 78. Anton was raised in South Africa, predominantly Johannesburg, and was a proud alumni of Jeppe Boys School. Following his matriculation, he became the first of his family to obtain post-secondary education, by acquiring a teaching diploma. He began teaching at the young age of 20, and actually taught Juanita (who would become his wife a little more than a year later), when she was in her final year of school in Forest High School. Following the marriage of Anton and Juanita in 1958, they emigrated to Canada, choosing the frigid temperatures of Winnipeg over the heat of their native land. One school year in Manitoba was sufficient to prompt a move to warmer climes, so they drove across the continent for Anton to take up a new teaching job in Port Hardy, B.C., at the far north of Vancouver Island. His first son, Delwen, was born in 1959, in nearby Port Alice. A few months later, itchy feet led the family back to South Africa, where his second son, Ashley, was born in Vryheid, Natal. Not long after, in a pattern which was to repeat itself many times over the years, this sojourn back in South Africa

was interrupted by yet further teaching jobs back in B.C., both on Vancouver Island, and in the Kootenays. Following yet another return to South Africa in 1963 – 1964, Anton and family returned to Canada, and took up residence in Harrison Hot Springs. A year later, in 1965, his only daughter, Celeste, was born in the Chilliwack Hospital, while they were living in Agassiz. Following this, Anton moved his family to Monte Lake in 1966 (where he was principal at a 2 room school), and then Kamloops in 1967, where he taught at various schools. In 1970, it was off to Africa again, this time to Rhodesia, where he first taught at a private school, and later lectured in the Teachers’ Training College in Bulawayo. In 1973, he and his family were back in Canada – Kamloops again – but just for 1 school year. After that, he moved his family back to Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1974, to teach first at Forest High School (again), and later to lecture teachers-in-training at the Goudstad College. In 1979, after his two sons had both repatriated to Canada, he, Juanita, and Celeste came back too, and he resumed teaching in Chilliwack area high schools. He did this well into the 1990’s, continuing to be a substitute after he had resigned from full time work. During his many years as a teacher, he left an indelible mark on his students, many of whom continue to credit him for making a significant difference in their education and life training. He will be remembered for this above all else. He was a superlative teacher, and a great mentor to many children and young adults. He selflessly gave of his time in tutoring well after retiring. He was also a man of diverse and varied talents. Not content with just a teacher’s diploma, he added two Bachelor degrees and a Master’s degree in Education

in the1960’s, and followed this up with a Master of Arts degree in literature in 1974. He was gifted linguist, and spoke several languages. He was extremely clever with his hands, and painted, created, and made many fine heirlooms for his family over the years. He was well known for his intricate and ornate piñatas, which he delighted in making for special occasions. He was a spiritual man, and was very involved in his churches, Sunday Schools, and church choirs over his many years, and routinely devoted much time to helping the poor and praying for many souls and causes. His knowledge of the Bible and the great hymns was prodigious. He was, in his latter years, very involved with his wife in the SPCA, and had a great love for dogs especially. He enjoyed listening to his classical music, he watched old movies like the cowboy films of his youth, he collected miniature cars, he wrote whimsical poems, and he carried on a concerted campaign of e-mails to his many relatives and friends. He was predeceased by his eldest brother in the 1950’s, and both his parents in the 1970’s, and all but one of his brothers and sister in the years since. He is survived in that family by his brother Wendel alone. He is survived in his Canadian Stander clan by his wife, Juanita, his son, Delwen (Veronica), his son, Ashley (Cathy), and his daughter, Celeste (Kevin), along with his grandchildren, Stirling, Asha, Keileigh, Seanne, Christiaan, Shannon, and Kyle. He also leaves behind numerous in-laws, nephews, and nieces in Canada, the U.S.A., and South Africa. His Celebration of Life service will be held at St. Thomas Church, in Chilliwack, on May 8, 2014, at 4:00p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his name to either the Chilliwack S.P.C.A. or the Chilliwack Hospice Society.
