Labour strife puts cloud over summer school
■ R ALLY I N T HE V ALLEY
Katie Bartel The Progress Will it run or won’t it? That’s the question facing Chilliwack’s summer school program. With the continued rotating teacher strikes and the lockout situation, the school district has yet to figure out a plan of action for summer school. “We’re not quite sure where we’re at with summer school yet because we haven’t heard if the teacher strike action will extend beyond June 27 and whether [BC Public School Employers’ Association] will be responding with lifting the lockout,” said superintendent Evelyn Novak. “We’re hoping to hear more by the end of the week, because then it’s kind of down to the wire.” Regardless, it will still be a tight squeeze getting everything organized in time. Normally the school district already has planning in place for summer learning, but with the BC Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) job action and BCPSEA lockout, plans have been put on hiatus. “It’s a bit of a waiting period right now,” said Novak. “Once we know, one way or another, whether summer school can take place or will take place because of strike action, that will impact other decisions as well.” Not having summer school could be detrimental. Research has shown that students, especially at-risk students, can lose more than two months knowledge over the summer months if they are not engaged in educational activities during that time. For Chilliwack, summer learning had been the answer. Continued: SCHOOL/ p10

Old Yale Beer captures Canada’s of the Year The Progress The brewmaster couldn’t stop smiling all day on Monday. Old Yale Brewing Co. of Chilliwack won the coveted Beer of the Year 2014 prize over the weekend from Canadian Brewing Awards for their Sasquatch Stout. “It’s like winning the lottery, and it feels good after all the hard
work,” said Old Yale brewmaster Larry Caza. The Beer of the Year award was handed out in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on Saturday night, and Caza was there. He was sitting in the audience as they called the winners to the stage for bronze, for silver and more. “And there it was. It was the last award of the night. It was
for brewery of the year, and our Sasquatch Stout got the highest marks of all the beers entered into the competition.” The adrenaline was pumping. “It was exciting. I almost fell off my chair when they called our name. “I’d been enjoying the night, and there were so many good breweries represented. We were eating scallops and lobster sand-

wiches and the beer was unbelievable. “All of a sudden I heard our name, and everyone was staring at me. So I ran up onto the stage and received the award.” The judges had high praise for the dark and flavourful stout. It’s a toasted oat, coffee and chocolate flavoured brew made at the brewery on Progress Way. “It’s a fun beer to make,” said
Caza. “When you mix all the grains together it’s like the tastiest chocolate chip cookie porridge. It’s an interesting recipe for sure.” Caza thought he was going to have a normal day at work Monday, making beer, but he was bombarded by media calls all day asking about the aftermath of the Beer of the Year award.

News
Veteran marks 70 years since D-Day landing Greg Knill The Progress When the German officer ordered Len Fitzgerald to sit down at the side of the road, the young soldier thought his war had come to an end. With the officer standing behind him, Fitzgerald waited for the click of his pistol. There was precedent. Just days earlier, an SS general had ordered the killing of Canadian troops captured in the days following the D-Day invasion of Normandy – Canadians from Fitzgerald’s own North Nova Scotia Highlanders. Fitzgerald was with the “North Novas” as they waded ashore under fire on June 6, 1944 near the picturesque town of Courseulles. They were the second wave in. The first had been badly mauled as landing craft threaded their way through mine-topped obstacles, and men dodged withering machine gun and shell fire. Their job was to continue the push and secure the airfield at Carpiquet, critical to the capture of Caen. Fitzgerald was one of the “originals” – soldiers who had joined the North Novas in Canada and sailed to England aboard the RMS Orion. That was July 18, 1941. Fitzgerald was a 17-year-old private (he had lied about his age), earning $1.50 a day. His next three years would be focused on one thing: Preparing for the eventual invasion of France. Fitzgerald was young, but he knew he didn’t want to finish the war a private. He set out to learn whatever he could and was soon part of the signal corps, responsible for ensuring communication links were kept open even in the thick of battle. His training took him first to northern Scotland, where he and his troop-mates assumed they’d soon be landing in Norway. Later he was off the Isle of Wight, practising assault landings on beaches similar to what he’d find at Normandy. The Normandy invasion was unprecedented in scale, and years in the making. More than 156,000 Canadian, British and American troops would be ashore by nightfall, supported by 4,000 aircraft and 7,000 naval vessels. Fitzgerald was among those men. He landed on Juno Beach, the 10-kilometre stretch assigned to the Canadian Third Infantry Division and the Second Canadian Armoured Brigade. On their left

and their right were the British at beaches Sword and Gold, respectively. The Americans were landing at beaches Utah and Omaha. Shells were still falling and enemy aircraft strafing overhead as Fitzgerald, now a lance-corporal, plunged chest-high into the icy Atlantic waters. Despite growing up on Prince Edward Island, he had never learned to swim. “I was too busy working in the boats,” he says with a chuckle, his PEI accent still evident. The Canadians had been hit hard. Treacherous shoals and choppy water delayed their armoured support, leaving infantry vulnerable to machine gun fire that was sighted to crisscross the beach. By day’s end, 359 Canadians lay dead, another 600 were wounded. Despite the losses, Canadian troops had pushed farther inland than any other army. And with Carpiquet in sight, but still beyond reach, Fitzgerald and his fellow North Novas dug in for the night. The invasion of Normandy had caught German defenders by surprise. (Many had expected the attack to come farther north up the coast at Calais.) But it didn’t take long for them to regroup and coun-

training. “You knew you couldn’t turn around and go backwards.” By the fifth day the Allies had 326,000 men landed at Normandy, as well as 54,000 vehicles and 104,000 tons of supplies. Nonetheless, getting those supplies off the beach was a challenge. The only food Fitzgerald had was what he landed with on June 6, or what he and his troop-mates were able to forage. “We were pulling out carrots and anything else we could find from the gardens,” he says. “I had a hen for a couple of days, until someone cooked it.” But reinforcements did arrive, and with them the drive to secure the original objectives continued. By June 12 all five beachheads were linked. But it would take until July 11 for the British and the Canadians to finally take Caen. By then the city was little more than rubble and came at a cost of more than 50,000 Allied casualties. That victory, bitter though it was, wasn’t one to savour. With the Americans finally free of the hedgerows that had slowed their advance from the beaches, the Allies threatened to now encircle the retreating Germans north of Falaise. As the Allies pressed on to seal

ter attack. In front of the Canadians was the 12th S.S. Panzer Division led by Eastern Front veteran Gen. Kurt Meyer. As the North Nova Scotia Highlanders tried to push past Villons-les-Buissons, they were counterattacked and driven back at Authie and Buron. The fighting was desperate and it is here that Meyer was later convicted of ordering his men to not take prisoners; he was also found directly responsible for the shooting of another 18 prisoners. With their numbers decimated, the Canadians had little choice put to take cover and wait for reinforcements. The shelling never stopped, Fitzgerald says. Artillery and rockets – “Moaning Minnies” – terrorized the troops. “You could hear them coming, but you never knew where they were going.” The men had little more than a shallow slit trench for cover. Here they would wait, “say a prayer if you knew one,” and hope the shells didn’t strike home. Fitzgerald still can’t hear out of his right ear after a shell exploded only six feet away. “That was close,” he says. Fear was always present. But there was nothing to do but rely on

the gap, the Germans fought back with desperate resistance. They attempted to smash through Canadian and British lines, and take with them what men and materiel they could. In their way at one tiny farm was Fitzgerald and a few of his signal men. They had set up communications in a barn when they heard the rumble of tanks and the clatter of infantry coming up the road. The Germans had already smashed through 17 Platoon, he says, virtually wiping them out. Now they were outside. Fitzgerald sent his men atop the hay pile stacked in the barn and went to the door. He managed to fire a couple of rounds from his pistol before the Germans lobbed in two grenades. The explosions torn into both his legs, but with the help of his men, he scrambled to the top of the hay pile. Just in time. As the search light from the tank bleached the interior, the accompanying troops sprayed the barn with machine gun fire. Fitzgerald could hear the bullets slicing through the hay beneath them. That was enough for one of the signalmen; he took off his helmet Continued: D-DAY/ p4

Wounded and unable to walk, he was strapped to a Tiger tank and taken prisoner. He was now part of the frantic effort to escape the Falaise Gap. It was a murderous place to be. Eventually 10,000 German troops would be dead, another 150,000 captured. Fitzgerald thought he would be among the dead. It was here that the German officer ordered him to the side of the road. “He stood behind me and I figured, well, he’s going to put a bullet in my head to get me out of the way.” But he didn’t.

Instead, the officer, who had studied four years in Oxford, put him in an ambulance. With shells falling all around, and burnt and blasted vehicles blocking the road ahead, the ambulance eventually stopped. Fitzgerald poked his head out the door to see the Germans seeking cover at the side of the road. They ignored him. So he scrambled to the other side of the road and crawled for three hours through the brush before regaining is lines.
That was not the end of the war for Fitzgerald, but it was the end of his time on the front lines. After recovery and rehabilitation, he became an instructor, training other signalmen as they arrived in England from Canada. It’s only been recently that Fitzgerald, now 91 and living with his wife Hilda near the banks of the Vedder River, has talked about his wartime experience. He tried hard to forget the carnage he saw as a young man so many years ago. But some memories that are difficult to forget. With time and, indeed, with age, they bubble to the surface, like when Fitzgerald had to retrieve the prism compass still hanging from the neck of his captain, decapitated by shellfire. Asked how often he thinks about his involvement in one of the most historic battles in our time, his eyes narrow. “Once a year,” he says. “I can’t sleep for a week.”

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Let the slapping begin. Mosquito season has arrived in Chilliwack and across the Fraser Valley but experts say not to worry. Mosquito control crews have been hard at work treating mosquito larvae, said FVRD contractor and biologist Dirk Lewis of Morrow Bioscience. “We never really know what kind of season we’re facing until the snow is all gone,� said Lewis. “But the river is not going get very high, and the mosquito season is strongly correlated with the river levels.� So it shouldn’t be too bad a season for 2014. Certainly not as bad as the high water seasons of 2011 and 2012. “Last year was about average, and this year we expect the same,� he said. Every spring they zero in on the largest source of nuisance mosquitoes in the region – those hatching along the Fraser River corridor as levels start to rise. Their job is to mon-
itor, map, and treat mosquito breeding sites, and they’ll continue throughout the season. As part of the annual Nuisance Mosquito Control Program by FVRD, floodwater sites are treated with a nontoxic bacterial larvacide that specifically targets bloodsuckers in the larval stage before they can fly. When the water levels rise, they do aerial treatments as well as ground treatment. It’s been an early melt year. “A fair bit of flood water habitat was activated,� said Lewis. They targeted more of the islands found in the Fraser for 2014. “We actually have a boat this year,� he added. The bacterial larvacide that they use is considered an effective and environmentallyfriendly method of controlling nuisance mosquitoes without harming other species. Fogging or spraying chemicals to kill flying adults is not part of the program, and is not permitted. While the FVRD mosquito control is effective
at reducing mosquito populations, residents can also help by: • eliminating sources of standing water like saucers under flower pots, bird baths, old tires, pet dishes, gutters, pool covers, trampolines, tarps, etc. • maintaining and chlorinating swimming pools. • emptying kiddie pools when not in use. • covering rain barrels with fine mesh. For mosquito control
inquiries or to report mosquito breeding sites within the Fraser River corridor, please call the FVRD’s Mosquito Hotline at 1-888-7332333 or send an email to mosquitoes@fvrd.bc.ca. Residents can also stay informed by following Morrow Bioscience on Twitter (@morrowmosquito) or on Facebook (facebook/com/morrowmosquito).

The second is around Hazel and Woodbine Streets. “We really want people to be aware that these crimes are largely crimes of opportunity,” said Cst. Tracy Wolbeck. “If people are vigilant and don’t leave valuables visible in their vehicle, we have eliminated the opportunity for would-be thieves.” The Chilliwack RCMP bike unit, general duty members , and auxiliar y constables have increased their patrols in these areas, but the prevention of these crimes lies with the public as well as the police, she says. Prevention tips: • Ensure there are NO valuables left visible in your vehicle • Do not leave loose change in your vehicle console • An alarm system is an effective deterrent • Double check that all the doors are locked before leaving your vehicle

Free coffee was being served to anyone taking a tour of high-tech toys in the FLIR trailer last Friday. More than 160 Convergys employees checked out the thermal imaging and infrared camera equipment on display at the former Stream site in Chilliwack. C o n v e r g y s Chilliwack, formerly Stream Global Services, recently partnered with FLIR — world leaders in infrared and thermal imaging technology — to provide technical support to its clientele. It was “FLIR Day” in Chilliwack on May 30, said Convergys site director Mike Robinson. That opportunity saw dozens of Chilliwack employees streaming out the back doors of the call centre to visit the mobile training unit and get some training on the sophisticated FLIR equipment. The thermal imaging and infrared cameras are used all over the world by security forces, fire departments and home inspectors, for example. What is a little different about this new client of theirs is that FLIR was open to sharing information publicly about their business relationship with Convergys — which isn’t always the
newest clients,” he explained, adding that they have established a dedicated FLIR team. “They’re great partners and they’ve been happy to share the work we’re doing for them.” About 50 local employees will be supporting FLIR on the dedicated team and they are planning for additional growth in the second half of 2014. “We view Convergys as the best customer service provider in the business,” said FLIR mobile training unit coordinator Shawn Jepson. “That’s why we partnered with them,

Anti-spam legislation a waste of time
The Chilliwack
Progress
R AESIDE
We doubt there is anyone who hasn’t been annoyed by spam. We’re not talking about that delicious canned spiced ham, but the endless stream of e-mails advertising everything from Viagra to Rolux (sic) or the $30 million a nice man in Nigeria wants to send you. We’re being a bit silly here, but what is really ludicrous is the federal government’s new anti-spam legislation, which takes effect on July 1. It is hard to imagine a more trivial non-problem for the government to concern itself with, let alone how the rules, which require businesses get written or oral consent before they send e-mails or other digital messages to consumers will put an end to spam. The new regulations address a problem that, by and large, has already been dealt with through technological means; spam filters at the level of both your home computer and your Internet Service Provider are sophisticated, effective and constantly being updated. This legislation also doesn’t do much to stop the particular flavour of spam email that is a problem: fraudulent or phishing e-mails trying to scam you into revealing your personal information. They’re unlikely to ask your permission either. On the end user side of the question, there will be some that want to file grievances regardless of how effective their spam filter has been, and the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission is already saying they won’t be able to handle the expected flood of complaints. So what have the feds accomplished with their new anti-spam legislation? An increase in bureaucracy, to be sure, but not much else. We would prefer they concentrate on legislation that actually means something. ~ Black Press

Farmland fate a test for both political parties VICTORIA – The B.C. Liberal government’s bill to divide the Agricultural Land Reserve into two zones has passed, after one of the nastier exchanges I’ve seen in a decade covering the B.C. legislature. “You’re all a bunch of corrupt liars,” NDP agriculture critic Nicholas Simons yelled as the government cut off a long and mostly repetitious debate that dominated the final days of the legislature session. Not to be outdone, cabinet minister Bill Bennett replied to Simons’ heckle about Kootenay rancher Faye Street, one of Bennett’s most vocal supporters as he pushed through changes to the land reserve to ease land use restrictions in rural zones. Bennett advised Simons to offer his remarks to Street in person. “She’ll kick your ass,” Bennett said.
The on-the-record debate wasn’t much better. Columbia River-Revelstoke NDP MLA Norm Macdonald summed up his par ty’s biggest objection with his charge that “a bunch of Liberal political hacks” will be appointed to regional panels of the Agricultural Land Commission. Tom The governFLETCHER ment’s scheme, Macdonald and other NDP critics predicted, is to unleash a flood of ALR land removals, to enrich B.C. Liberal supporters by allowing development on productive farmland. That might be a valid concern, but there are a couple of factual problems. First, every appointment to the ALC, at the regional
or provincial level, is made by the B.C. government. It’s been that way since the Dave Barrett administration set it up in 1973. Second, the regional panels are not new. The B.C. Liberals imposed them in 2003. If this was their method of corrupting the process to dismantle the ALR, that would have largely happened in the years since. Surely by this time they would have found enough greedy political hacks who hate farming to subvert the process. I’ve written before about the legitimate concerns of places like Merritt and Vanderhoof and Dawson Creek, where some ALR rules and decisions simply don’t make sense. Strict secondar y residence rules are needed in areas with non-farm development pressure. In most rural areas, they are a mistake, and are frequently ignored.

The debate wasn’t entirely devoid of honesty and civility. Macdonald interrupted his string of baseless accusations to note that under the current system, 75 per cent of exclusion applications in the Kootenay region are approved. If that’s the case, what is really broken that needs to be fixed? It’s a good question that the government did not adequately answer. And credit also goes to the new agriculture minister, KelownaLake Country MLA Norm Letnick, who inherited a public relations mess left by the brief and boneheaded performance of Peace River North MLA Pat Pimm. Braving the heckling at the end, Letnick put aside his partisan talking points and gave his personal assurance that the government’s intention is to support farming in those places where non-farm income is the only thing
that keeps people on the land. As soon as the theatrics had died down, the B.C. NDP sent out a fundraising plea to its members to help “save” the ALR. The party is broke and desperate after losing its fourth straight election, and it hopes to activate its declining donor base by portraying the changes as the imminent slaughter of its most sacred cow. Voters have three years before the next election to assess this situation. If there is a flood of exclusions of prime agricultural land, then the NDP will be able to make its case that its warnings were at least partially true. If this does not take place, then the government’s position will be vindicated. We’ll find out the truth. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Re: Education is a mess, (letters, Chilliwack Progress). I would be curious to know when Phil Mante attended school. When I grew up, accountability for educational achievement was shared between teachers, students, and parents. In many cases, it still is! However, beyond this, there is little comparison between the system in which I attended school, and the environment in which I currently teach. In my day, elementary students regularly failed grades (sometimes repeatedly), with little thought of what
this meant to their future or their self esteem. My own school was “streamed.” It had a top, middle, and bottom class for each grade, and it didn’t take us long for us to discover where we had landed. The “strap” was prevalent, teachers spanked students in front of their classes, slammed rulers on desks, grabbed children by their ears, and yelled to their hearts’ content, with no fear of reprisals from the “Teacher Regulation Branch.” Special needs students had special classes. We only saw them at recess. I think Mr. Mante
needs to go back and experience elementary education in the 21st century. Few of us want to return to the systems of the past; yet, surprisingly, essential educational goals can still be attained within the “mess” that Mr. Mante describes. Despite large class sizes, unlimited numbers of special needs students, huge cuts to learning assistance, ESL, speechlanguage pathologists, psycho-educational testing, school counsellors, and teacher-librarians, teachers still care, and will always do so. We work hard to instruct our children to compose
letters that have a point (main idea), augmented by relevant supporting details. Much of the correspondence that is currently sent to local newspapers by adults, unfortunately lacks this basic structure. In addition to this, Chillwack’s elementary educators would never allow their students to publish letters that contained queries such as: “How’s about a modest proposal?” My solution: How about some further language arts instruction?

Support staff pay price for strike I am a spouse of an employee of the school district that works with the support staff (CUPE). Although I agree the teachers have a right to go through job action, I do not believe CUPE should be punished as well. This is not their battle. We will not get any benefit from not showing up at work one day this week and one day next
week, and perhaps beyond that. My husband is the only one who works in our family and we can barely make ends meet as it is. CUPE makes about one third of what the teachers make, so naturally they will be impacted far more than the teachers. When there was job action a couple of years ago, CUPE was allowed to show up
to work without punishment from their union. I also believe management has no reason to want to end this strike as they will not suffer financially at all. Please consider which group is getting the worst of this job action.
Fraser Institute). There is no shortage of teachers at present with three unemployed teachers for every job opening and the universities are churning out more teachers in a time of decreasing student numbers. If a few were to move to the frozen northern wastelands for higher salaries it would not hurt the supply. Many other professionals also make less money in BC than in Alberta or the Territories

More private schools on the horizon Teachers are important and necessary people for the future of our children and society in general but what they are asking for is what everyone wants; more pay , less work. The demand for smaller classes and more teaching assistants is really a demand for less work. The average British Colombian has averaged a wage increase of .8% over the last few years and teachers have averaged 2.5% (The

Few would welcome classroom of the past
because BC is perceived to be a better place to live. I see the move to increased numbers in private schools as incredibly efficient, they receive 50% of what a regular school does from the tax payer and, as a bonus, they buy the land and build the schools for free. I believe that the teachers trade union opposes private schools because they lose their monopoly and the bar-
gaining power that goes with it. A relatively small increase in the amount paid to the private schools would increase their number as more parents opt for control over their children’s futures as prices come down. If the teachers are starving perhaps a pay increase could be granted with a corresponding increase in instructional days per year.
FINAL WEEK TO SAVE
John Elmore
Private schools help ease strain on public schools Julia Chambers says that “Private schools drain public education” (Progress letters, May 28). That is a little hard to understand because if all the children in private school enrolled in public
school tomorrow...and they have that right...the system would be overwhelmed. It seems that the government is money ahead when children go to private school as they save 50 per cent of the cost
of educating those kids. And people who send their kids to private school still pay the same taxes as everyone else. Helen Pauls

Local brewery earns national attention
BEER from Front The CBA officials had strongly hinted that the brewer y should have reps in the audience for the awards gala. “We had to send a case of stout down to them as well,” Caza said. Caza has been brewing up the beer since 2000, and through a change of ownership. An expansion for Old Yale is in the works. “This will help get us started in the new direction,” he said. The impressive win will be a feather in the cap for the brewery. He came back inspired after being around craft beer creators from across Canada. Plus there’s already a new beer flavour on the go. “There’s one in the tank that’s about two weeks away,” he said. It’s going to be mango wheat beer, which will be perfect for summer.

Belle Voci performs at St. Thomas Anglican Church on June 7-8. SUBMITTED
A Night of Jazz by Belle Voci next weekend It’s going to be an enchanting program of jazz but this time with Belle Voci at St. Thomas Anglican Church on June 7-8. A Night of Jazz will actually feature two performances by the a cappella singers in the historic venue. “It’s a chance to enjoy a special evening of your favourite jazz standards,” says artistic director Paula DeWit. This performance will see the 14 vocalists stepping out of their
usual repertoire to celebrate the wonderful and diverse world of jazz for the first time. Usually they tackle a varied program of vocal music, and some sacred numbers but never the “rich thick harmonies of jazz.” It took a while for the singers to get used to the sometimes atonal and thick nature of the jazz arrangements. “Jazz is not written the same as other music. It will sound goofy unless you know how to read the
jazz rhythms.” Audiences will hear modern gems like the Finnish tunes of Gota, Kristallen Den Fina, and Butterfly, or a classic like Black Bird by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. There’s My Romance words and Gershwin’s Our Love is Here to Stay. It wouldn’t be Belle Voci without at least a few gospel spirituals, so they’ll hear People Get Ready, Hold Me Rock Me, and Down to
the River to Pray. Chilliwack’s premiere a cappella ensemble has been entertaining audiences since spring of 2009.

many as not an “if” but a “when.” “We have been told the oil companies’ perspectives as they continue to refine and market their proposed routes and plans,” adds Major. “But we need to understand the other side of the coin for ourselves. People in other parts of North America who have experienced heavy oil spills in their neighbourhoods - such as Kalamazoo, Michigan and Mayflower, Arkansas - are really cautioning other communities. “We should heed those warnings and stand up for our community. And doing that starts with gathering information.” Community members are invited to come out to share thoughts, concerns and questions. Public meeting is Thursday, June 5 at 7 p.m. at Sardis Secondary School in the MacAstocker Theatre.

Oil pipeline route shifts amid blizzard of questions Jeff Nagel Black Press Kinder Morgan has changed the preferred routing for its proposed Trans Mountain oil
pipeline project in some areas and wants more time from the National Energy Board to answer more than 10,000 intervenor-submitted questions.
The company now proposes to infringe on at least three Metro Vancouver regional parks or greenways, and possibly Bridal Veil Falls Provincial Park
east of Chilliwack. In Burnaby and Coquitlam, where the project previously was to run beneath Lougheed Highway for a long stretch, it will now fol-
low United Boulevard then cut northwest through the Brunette River Conser vation Area and BrunetteFraser Regional Greenway before reach-
ing Burnaby Mountain. Senior project director Greg Toth said building the pipeline under Lougheed Highway would have meant much greater disruption to

traffic during construction. He said care will be taken to minimize impacts on the greenway as well as other parks. “We have a lot of experience operating in environmentally sensitive areas,” Toth said, adding one segment of the Trans Mountain pipeline was twinned six years ago through Jasper National Park and Mt. Robson Provincial Park. The proposed $5.4-billion project would nearly triple Kinder Morgan’s pipeline capacity to 890,000 barrels of oil per day and greatly increase the number of tankers passing through Vancouver harbour. A tunnel bored through Burnaby Mountain is now the preferred route to connect a vastly expanded petroleum tank farm to the Westridge Marine Terminal for tankers on Burrard Inlet. Toth said the change dodges around Burnaby residents in the neighbourhood west of Burnaby Mountain and avoids traffic disruption to routes like Hastings Street, although that option remains a backup. Under the new preferred routing, he said, the pipeline would not run over any private property in Burnaby. Coquitlam environmentalists, meanwhile, are opposing the plan to use a 1.4-kilometre strip of Colony Farm Regional Park as a pipe assembly work zone. A section of pipeline would be built there and then pulled into a tunnel to be drilled under the Fraser River to Surrey next to the Port Mann Bridge. The parkland would be restored to its previous condition, Toth said, but added alternatives to using Colony Farm continue to be explored. In Surrey, the pipeline would run along the South Fraser Perimeter Road and along the southwest flank of Surrey Bend Regional Park to Golden Ears Way near 96 Avenue. Toth said route changes there have reduced the section within Surrey Bend by about one kilometre. In north Langley, the route now runs through or adjacent to The Redwoods Golf Course, instead of the through the Salmon River valley further east near Fort Langley. Continued: PARK/ p16

Kinder Morgan line could run through Bridal Veil Falls park PARK from page 14 East of Chilliwack, a section that was previously to run on the north side of Highway 1 is now proposed to follow the original pipeline corridor through the northwest corner of Bridal Veil Falls Provincial Park. The switch avoids using a new route near Cheam Lake Wetlands Regional Park on the other side of the freeway that locals opposed. Toth said a wider corridor there could allow the new pipeline to bypass the provincial park by using local roads. The Trans Mountain Pipeline was built in 1952 and pre-dates many B.C. parks, including Bridal Veil, that have since been created. Besides Bridal Veil, the twinned corridor would run through Nor th Thompson

Provincial Park, Fin Creek Provincial Park, as well as the Lac Dubois and Coquihalla Summit protected areas. Toth said routing currently proposed would bypass five other provincial parks that the current pipeline runs through. Specific concerns in the Fraser Valley include the risk of an oil spill contaminating the aquifer that provides Chilliwack’s drinking water. Toth said that’s one of the “high-consequence areas” where Kinder Morgan will explore options to better protect the pipeline – potentially by making it thicker, burying it deeper and placing more frequent shut-off valves to minimize any spill. Meanwhile, Kinder Morgan staff are scrambling to answer a blizzard of questions filed by intervenors, including 1,500 from the City of Burnaby alone. Kinder Morgan vicepresident Scott Stoness said he’s hopeful the requested delay of the deadline for answers from June 4 to June 27 – if approved by the NEB – won’t push back later deadlines in the pipeline review process. Inter venors would still have about two months to study the company’s responses before their next deadline for the second set of information requests in September. “Our team has been working around the clock to answer every question within the scope of the NEB review thoughtfully and with care,” Stoness said, but said they can’t all be answered by the original deadline. See http://application.transmountain. com/interactive-map for a map showing revised details of the preferred pipeline route.

Basketball battle brewing Eric J. Welsh, The Progress The Basketball BC program that was due to arrive at GW Graham middle-secondary school this fall has been put on hold. Killed, if you talk to some people. Postponed if you talk to others. “It is with great sadness and disappointment that I announce that the Basketball BC School District program that was supposed to begin in September has been postponed/suspended due to a small group of people in the community pushing for it not to take place,” GWG athletic director Jake Mouritzen wrote in an email Friday morning. “These people took their thoughts and beliefs to the school trustees and school board and have had the program suspended before it could begin.” Mouritzen’s email was confirmed by Chilliwack School District assistant superintendent Rohan Arulpragasam later that day. “First and foremost this is a great program that will benefit all students,” he wrote. “We have reflected on the implementation plan and timelines and feel it is best to take some additional time to consult and collaborate with all middle and secondary schools regarding all aspects of the program, and to build a business plan prior to formalizing the program in Chilliwack. In the meantime the implementation plans regarding the program are on hold.” Mouritzen was under the impression that the program had been fully green-lighted in early May after the school district’s senior administration looked at it in an information session. However, Arul-pragasam says that wasn’t the case. As far as he’s concerned the program isn’t suspended because there’s nothing to
suspend. It’s still in the planning phase. “It was not presented at a school board meeting, and I think that’s where a lot of the confusion has come from,” he said. “Generally what happens with a program like this is that senior administration, myself included, look at the information and provide a review. We ask questions. In this case, the other schools that would be affected were not consulted, and that is a fundamental step. So, senior administration providing that review was the first step. The next logical step is making sure we collaborate and make sure all parties have an opportunity to speak to this.” With wires apparently crossed, a public information meeting/forum was held at the school May 20 and a skills evaluation session was scheduled for early June. The program was billed as one that would be available to players districtwide. “We really believed that we had worked hard with Basketball BC to provide an excellent opportunity for all student athletes across the district that were interested in continuing to pursue their dreams in basketball,” Mouritzen said. “We believed we were going to be able to provide an elite unique learning opportunity that could have benefited every school in the district.” There are two sides to this. There’s the sports side, with opponents saying this program could benefit GW Graham’s basketball program to the detriment of all others in Chilliwack. The other issue is how the program was presented. As it looks now, it still had some bureaucratic hurdles to clear before being rolled out. Chilliwack secondar y school senior boys basketball coach Joe Mauro voiced concerns on the sports side.
The idea that the program would be available to students district-wide was the big one. In theory it sounds great. Chilliwack basketball players gather at GWG for early-morning practices before heading back to their own schools. Mauro doesn’t think that’s grounded in reality. “Parents are in a chaotic state as it is, getting kids where they need to be and then getting to work,” he elaborated. “They’re going to do this for a month or two, they’re going to look at this and say, ‘This is crazy. My life is upside down. I have enough problems getting my kids to their own school.’ Are you going to stop parents if they decide they’re just going to stay and enroll their kid at GW Graham? We have open boundaries with our middle and high schools, and who are you to tell me I can’t send my kid wherever I want?” There’s validity to that argument, even if it is speculative. Mauro’s second point is more concrete. “Why weren’t we consulted? Why weren’t we told? That’s where it got sticky because we felt like we were never talked to,” he said of the lack of communication. “It was basically, ‘This is what we’re doing. We’re going to take, hopefully, a couple kids from your school, a couple kids from AD Rundle and all the middle schools and we’re going to develop ball-players.’ Well that’s like a slap in the face for us. There’s a process that should have happened and didn’t.” Chilliwack secondar y school senior girls coach Joe Ogmundson said he didn’t hear a word about the program until it was announced, and agreed that a little communication could have gone a long way. “If our friends at GW
Graham want to work a little bit harder and do a little bit more, I commend them for it,” Ogmundson said. “But if this were really clearly thought out, we would take a nice central school like AD Rundle, which needs something, and pour the basketball program into it. Put it into Grades 7-9, take the (course) credits away from it and let the kids focus on the skill development. I’m sure we’d end up with a huge advantage like they do in North Vancouver. They have their academies in Grades 7-9 and it’s paying off in huge dividends.” Ogmundson is less concerned about the recruitment issue, although he can see his school losing talent long term. “After 10 days those kids are going to be saying, ‘I’m tired mom. Can’t I just go to school here?’” he noted. “That’s why it makes more sense to get behind something that’s centrally located.” Still, he considers that a drop in the bucket compared to what’s already going on. Ogmundson says french immersion alone takes 25-30 students away from his school every year. “The systematic recruiting that’s already taking place in our district to pour scholarship and leadership and band and active, athletic kids into Sardis secondary school at a rate of 100 kids a year — we’re competing with that already,” he said. “The one worry I have is when someone’s trying to get a decided advantage, because once you start coalescing all the best players onto one team, everyone else quits, and soon you’re a big fish in a really small pond.” See Friday’s paper for a follow-up article, including parent reaction.

Toth was 20 seconds faster than Champness (1:18.46 to 1:19.06), not enough to close the gap. Still a worthy performance. Toth set a new personal best in the halfIronman distance and is now prepping for a full-Ironman event in Whistler July 27. The Oliver event included another 11 Chilliwackians.

Dazzling debut Chilliwack’s Brad Clapp had a spectacular start on the PGA Tour Canada, finishing in a tie for second at the PC Financial Open. The four round tourney was held last Thursday through Sunday at the Point Grey Golf and Country Club. Clapp, who just earned his tour card last month, finished one shot behind American Joel Dahmen. Clapp went 15 under par with scores of 67-6967-70. He had a shot at the win on the 18th hole, but missed a birdie putt from inside 10 feet. Dahmen two-putted to hold off Clapp and Eugene Wong. Dahmen pocketed $27,000. Clapp’s share of the prize money was $13,200. The next tour stop is this weekend, with the Bayview Place Island Savings Open taking place Thursday through Sunday at the Uplands Golf Club in Victoria.

Fleming Selma (Rempel) Selma (Rempel) Fleming passed away on May 27th 2014 in Chilliwack. Her strong faith, her love of family, and her unfailing need to give, sustained her throughout her life. She baked bread to give away just the week before her death. Predeceased by her husband Henry, of over 50 years, in 1989, Selma and Henry were noted for their legendary hospitality. The coffee pot was always on and the pie by the yard still hot from the oven! She is survived by her five children, Florence (Harold) Gienger, Dorothy Swanson, Victoria (Barrie)Richardson, Mamie (Lorne) Lees and Terry (Gwen) Fleming. Also 9 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren, all of whom had a unique relationship with Grandma Fleming and she will be truly missed, especially by Mamie, Tracee and Nikcole who did so much for her during the last decade of her life. Selma is also survived by 2 brothers, Ted from Samish Island, Washington, and Bernie from St. Albert, Alberta. Selma’s family hosted a celebration for her last August in honour of her 100th birthday. This celebration was attended by more than 200 family and friends who came from near and far to celebrate this remarkable lady and her many achievements in her lifetime. We wish to thank all those that attended and helped to make this day so special for Selma and her family. We strongly felt it was important to honour her while she was alive to hear the accolades from family and friends than to do so after her death. The Fleming family wishes to express their heartfelt appreciation to the staff at the Birchwood, for the great care towards our mother. A private gathering will be held by immediate family at a later date. Anyone wishing to make a donation in her name may do so to her favourite charities, the Salvation Army or the MCC (Mennonite Central Committee) or a charity of your choice. Henderson’s Funeral Homes & Crematorium in care of arrangements, 604-792-1344 www.hendersonsfunerals.com
Laidlaw Andrew Andy Andy was born in Dumbarton, Scotland on Feb 7, 1937 and passed away on May 20, 2014. Andy immigrated to Canada in 1958 after serving in the British Army. He is survived by his wife Marjorie of 53 years; 3 children, David (Debbie) of Prince George; Heather (Michael) of Abbotsford; Scott (Joanne) of Prince George; 7 grandchildren; 8 great grandchildren. He was predeceased by his parents and one son. Andy was a miner, policeman, corrections offer, and cafe owner. He liked to tell jokes and enjoyed volunteering for fund raising events. He will be sadly missed by family and friends. No service by request. In lieu of flowers please donate to the Diabetes Association.
SAUNDERS, Audrey Nancy 73 years, of Chilliwack BC, passed away on the evening of May 15, 2014. Audrey was born to the late Edward and Lillie Sanborn on July 13, 1940 in Winnipeg Manitoba. She relocated to BC in 1966 along with her husband, young son and her parents. Audrey chose a career as a Registered Nurse in the 1970s and worked for 40 years at various institutions throughout the province; including hospitals, mental health facilities, the BC Cancer Agency and even 2 prisons. We can’t hope to sum up the life of our beloved Mother/Nana in a few words. Were we to try, we would say she was our favourite teacher, our self-taught computer expert, our advice columnist and the number one fan of all our activities, especially her Granddaughter’s dance competitions and recitals in her later years. She was also an avid reader, a movie buff, a coffee aficionado and an animal lover. Audrey is survived by her dear granddaughter Kiana, daughter Dawn (Bruce), son Mike (Natalie), cousins Bernice and Nancy, many dear friends, and her two dogs, Teddy and Bear. Condolences may be offered at www.hendersonsfunerals.com

(March 31, 1924 May 20, 2014)
Opa went to be with his Lord and Savior unexpectedly but peacefully at the age of 90 years. He leaves to mourn his passing his loving wife of 59 years, Edeltraut/Edie; children Darlene (Jim), Charlie (Colleen), Cyril (Frannie) and Armin (Laura); grandchildren Jennifer, Joanna, Katrina, Emma, Justine, Josh and Rhiannon (along with her mother Cindy) and a great granddaughter, Hannah. He was born and raised in Moosehorn, Man. to Ewald & Emma Semler. Once he had started his own family there were several trips across Canada, in search of a better life, prior to settling in Yarrow in 1965. Walter started his own business as a bricklayer and his boys learned how to pack brick and mix mortar. Upon retiring, he and Edie moved up onto Majuba Hill and lived there for a number of years, enjoying the beautiful view of the Fraser Valley. We would like to thank the wonderful staff at Valley Haven for their care in his last few years. They made him feel like family despite Alzheimer’s taking its unfair toll. The family will be holding a celebration of his life later this summer. Henderson’s Funeral Home & Crematorium (604) 792-1344
