Teachers to vote on full strike after pay cut Tom Fletcher Black Press The BC Labour Relations Board has upheld an employer bid to cut teacher pay by 10 per cent in response to rotating strikes and refusal to perform some duties outside classroom hours. BC Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker said d Wednesday the W If approved, pay cut and partial of memthis would likely lockout bers is “a punimean a full-scale tive action” that is unfair to teachers strike within the performing their classnext two weeks essential room duties. In response, the ~ BCTF BCTF will hold another vote June president 9-10 to authorize Jim Iker full-scale strike action. Rotating strikes are to continue next week while the strike vote is held and counted. “If approved, this would likely mean a full-scale strike within the next two weeks,” Iker said. Falling right in the middle of testing season, report cards, and year-end celebrations. That means final exams and grades could potentially be in jeopardy, as could the final days of school for Grade 12 students. Chilliwack Teachers’ Association president Clint Johnston said it’s a decision not taken lightly. “Are we happy that students’ last weeks at school will be impacted, absolutely not, of course not, but does that mean that we should stand down and not advocate for our members to get a fair deal?” asked Johnston.

A group of Sardis secondary students walked out of classes Wednesday to support their education and show the teachers union and government they’re fed up with the ongoing labour dispute. PROGRESS PHOTO

Chilliwack students join school walk out Katie Bartel The Progress A group of students at Sardis secondary are fed up with the ongoing battle between teachers and the government. At 9 a.m. Wednesday morning approximately 40 students walked out of class as part of a province-wide student walkout. Across the street from the school they held up bright yellow and orange signs with messages that included: “I need math to pass!” “Strike + Lockout = Walkout” “Our education is not a game so stop playing with it!” By 10:30 a.m., 13 students remained. Some left the school,

others went back to class. Those who remained said they’d be there until the end of the school day. “They’re the ones fighting, but we’re the ones suffering,” said Grade 10 student Paige Battilana, the only student to walk out of her class. “Both sides say they’re doing this for us, yet we’re the ones caught in the middle,” said Grade 11 student William Wiev. Grade 11 student Autumn Burhof, an avid dancer, lamented over how she and her peers in dance class spent all year practicing and preparing for the year-end recital, only to have it possibly not go ahead “because teachers can’t be on school

property after school hours,” she said. “If they can do a lockout, then we can do a walkout.” Grade 12 student Abra Yeomans is worried she won’t get into the universities she applied for if her high school transcripts are incomplete as a result of the lockout. “If they’re not able to mark my exams then my transcripts are going to be incomplete,” said Yeomans who’s applied to Emily Carr University of Art and Design, Thompson Rivers University and the University of Victoria. “When they go to my transcripts and review my grades and if they’re incomplete, I’ll be turned away auto-

matically. “Its not fair,” she said. “The government is using us as pawns,” said Grade 11 student Ryan Keeping. “Teachers want to be able to help us, but the government won’t let them.” The B.C. Student Walkout for Students was organized through Facebook by a Grade 12 student in Surrey as a way for students across B.C. to take a stand for their education. On the Facebook event page it says: “The students in British Columbia have been put in the middle of the labour dispute between the BCTF and the Continued: STUDENTS/ p13

Web cameras offer images of city streets Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A network of web cameras will be providing crucial road and weather monitoring information to Chilliwack officials — as well as the public. The cameras are focused on locations across town from the lofty heights of Teskey Way or Ryder Lake Road to the low-lying Ballam Road, next to the Fraser River. Still photographs are

uploaded to the city website from the web cams, including shots of key intersections, mountains, the highway and Chilliwack airport. “The cameras were a great help for road supervisors dealing with snow and ice,” said Glen MacPherson, the city’s director of operations. “Prior to this, they would have had to drive around the city for hours to gauge the amount of snow and ice on the ground.” Now they can just log onto the website, and send plow-

ing or salt truck resources where they’re needed, or dispatch flag people to help keep stalled traffic moving. The cameras will increase operational efficiency, as well as public safety, he said. They can also assist in monitoring freshet levels on the Fraser River, or assessing if summertime traffic is backing up on the Vedder bridge for example. As of this week, images from web cams can be viewed online at www.chilliwack.com/cameras.

“I’m so pleased our city has been able to take advantage of this technology,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz. “While I know it’s a staff tool, but it will also be handy for the public in winter when they’re thinking about travel plans.” Coun. Sue Attrill praised the addition of the new web cams. “I just think it’s a really great idea,” she said. jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

Chamber trash talk turns to ‘murfs’ Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Materials recovery facilities, or “murfs” as they’re called for short, are all about breaking open garbage bags to extract the recyclables. It’s an option not being considered seriously enough as a viable alternative to burning more garbage in the future, say critics of the Metro Vancouver plan. Supporting MRFs to take out the recoverable or recyclable elements from the waste stream, could present a better choice than Metro Vancouver’s plan to build a new incinerator. “We have the technology. We have the business interest,” said Jessica Morrison, environmental services coordinator for FVRD, explaining how materials recovery stacks up as an alternative to incineration. “Metro Vancouver is skipping this step in their solid waste plan,” she said. Morrison was joined Monday night in Chilliwack by Russ Black, vice president of Belkorp, at the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce event. A small crowd showed up to the Vineyard Centre to hear about Waste Management and Incineration, and MRFs as an alternative. The key is transitioning from the linear “burn-and-bury” economy to a more circular one, said Morrison. One of the issues with incineration is there’s no real incentive to remove the recoverables or recyclables that end up in the waste stream. Garbage volumes have to stay high to justify the trash-burning part of the plan, which commits them to landfilling as well. The stats show that up to 30 per cent of what’s in a garbage bag could be retrieved or recycled, and “that’s not acceptable,” said Morrison. Organic materials could be up to 40 per cent. “What we need to do is get into

SINCE 1973

the practice of recovering those materials. We need to think about reusing them, not disposing of them. That’s a circular economy.” What’s left after incineration of solid waste is called bottom ash which is toxic and has to be landfilled in a special way. Think about toxic plastics, TVs, iPhones and batteries that end up burning in “giant furnaces,” she said. “What is left, they call it ash. I call it slag,” said Morrison. WTE is an inefficient way of generating power, and there may be greater costs than are being discussed. So why should the Fraser Valley care about what Metro Vancouver does with its garbage? Part of the answer is the “giant smokestack” belching pollutants and nano particles into the air toward Chilliwack, and the Fraser Valley.

Morrison likened the Metro plan and incinerator to the doomed SE2 power plant proposal that was turned down. “The difference is in this case there is a Canadian proponent for the project.” Not only will the Metro plan impact health, the ecosystem, agriculture, business and tourism, but the business case does not add up, she said. Estimates for the construction cost of the incinerator at just over half a billion are too conservative, while the tipping rates were too high. Russ Black of Belkorp Environmental Services mapped out the private sector vision for three MRFs in Metro Vancouver as an alternative to the plan for more incinerators. He’d like to see Metro hold off on the WTE plan to see MRFs built and tested first. MRF technology has evolved to

make better business sense than burning recoverables, he argued. No senior level of government is requiring Metro Vancouver to push ahead with building another incinerator. Incineration is “unnecessary, uneconomic and unwanted,” said Black, who also criticized the “marketplace distortion” offered by bylaw 280, which seeks to impose a requirement that Metro Vancouver waste be restricted to facilities within the region. It was passed but is pending provincial approval. The region is at “a crossroads” with its waste management options, he suggested. It could opt to go the route of big government infrastructure or go with MRF which offers a “proven private sector solution that doesn’t require additional taxation,” he added. jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

CITY OF CHILLIWACK

Police issue warning after young girl approached by stranger Chilliwack RCMP are praising the actions of a nine-yearold girl after she refused to get into a stranger’s vehicle near FG Leary school on Monday. The incident occurred between 2:15 p.m. and 3 p.m. on First Avenue and McNaught Road, police say. The young girl was approached by an unknown man, who asked her to get into his vehicle. The man persistently asked the child to go with him and offered her candy in an effort to persuade her. The child rode away on her bike and no further contact was made. “This little girl stood her ground and made it known to this person that she was not going to go with him,” said Cst. Tracy Wolbeck. “We are very interested in speaking to the male who approached the girl and discussing with him his intentions.” The male is described as having a full beard down to his neck with sideburns and greying hair. He was wearing a red sweater with a white shirt underneath and brown shoes. Police believe the male was driving an older model red van similar to a Dodge Caravan. Police are also encouraging parents and teachers to discuss the importance of “stranger danger” with their children and students. Children also need to be made aware of the potential dangers of getting into a vehicle with a stranger. If anyone has any information regarding this incident, they are asked to contact the Chilliwack RCMP at 604 792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477(TIPS).

There will be 1,222 extra service hours for the conventional transit service and another 1,000 hours for handyDART custom service. This comes on the heels of Chilliwack’s largest transit expansion ever in 2013 where ridership spiked from 333,500 in 2012 to 398,400 in 2013, for an increase of 19 per cent. “It was a tremendous expansion and the ridership followed,” said transportation manager Rod Sanderson in his

Canadians love the sun so much, it’s killing us. After being cooped up for months at a time to shelter from the snow and cold and, in the case of southwestern British Columbia, interminable rain, we rejoice at the first days of warm sunshine. By July we’re positively basking in it. And that’s leading to an alarming increase in skin cancer, according to a report released Wednesday by the Canadian Cancer Society, Statistics Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada. The report says there will be about 6,500 new cases of malignant melanoma diagnosed in Canada this year. That’s the deadliest, most insidious form of skin cancer that will kill more than 1,000 Canadians. Another 76,100 cases of non-melanoma skin cancers will also be diagnosed. Those are less serious and can usually be treated in the doctor’s office. Unlike many other forms of cancer, the incidence of skin cancer is actually going up rather than down. For men, the incidence rate went up two per cent between 1986 and 2010. For women it increased 1.5 per cent. Mortality rates also increased. Those are sobering statistics worth thinking about the next time the seven-day weather forecast shows a solid run of glowing, golden orbs. Especially since it’s so easy to prevent skin cancer. While it might be a little much to ask people to stay indoors, it’s not a big deal to put on that shirt, roll down those sleeves, slap on that hat, slop on that sunscreen. And pay heed to that UV index that’s become a standard feature of most weather forecasts to avoid the sun’s rays when they’re at their most damaging. A little summertime prevention will mean being able to enjoy a lot more sunny seasons to come. ~ Black Press

Putting a face to the invasion of Normandy June 6 1944. D-Day. It would be the day when nearly 160,000 Allied troops, 14,000 of whom were Canadian, would invade an 80-kilometre beachfront in Normandy, France. It would be the day when those soldiers, sailors and airmen would turn the tide to defeat Germany and bring an end to World War ll. “All of a sudden something slapped the side of my right leg and then a round caught me dead centre up high on my right leg causing a compound fracture,” wrote Jim Wilkins with the Queen’s Own Rifles of Canada, B Company in his D-Day recollections posted on the Canadian War Museum’s website. “By this time I was flat on my face in the water – I’ve lost my rifle, my helmet is gone and Kenny is still yelling at me to come on. I yell back, I

can’t, my leg is broken – get the hell out of here – away he goes and catches up to Tommy. Poor Tom, I’ve got 10 of his bren gun magazines and they’re pulling me under. I soon get rid of them and flop over onto my back and start to float to shore Margaret where I meet five EVANS other riflemen all in ver y bad shape. The man beside me is dead within minutes. All the while we are looking up at the machine gun firing just over our heads at the rest of our platoon and company. Then our platoon Sargent and friend of mine, who had given up a commission to be with us, was killed right in front of me.”

The Battle of Normandy. Brutal. Deadly. Victorious. The meticulous planning for the massive assault known by its code name Operation Overlord under the command of General Dwight Eisenhower, went operational in 1943 with intensive training of soldiers, sailors, airmen and paratroopers across England. A 1,200 plane airborne assault would precede the biggest ever amphibious assault involving over 5,000 vessels. Troops would simultaneously land on five beaches code named Juno, Gold, Omaha, Utah, and Sword. “The 3rd Canadian Infantr y Division was picked to take part and began a period of intensive commando-type assault training,” wrote Wilkins. According to the Canadian War Museum, the Royal Canadian Navy contributed 110 ships and

10,000 sailors to the assault effort while the Royal Canadian Air Force bombed targets as fighterbomber squadrons helped control the skies over Normandy. D-Day was originally scheduled to go on June 5 but terrible weather forced a 24-hour delay. By June 6, the worst of the weather had passed although the English Channel from Portsmouth and Southampton, where the Allied forces had been waiting, to the Normandy beaches was still rough. “OK, let’s go,” Gen. Eisenhower famously said. At 6:30 am the 3rd Canadian Infantr y Division and the 2nd Canadian Armoured Brigade landed on the five-mile wide Juno Beach while Canadian paratroopers landed further east. But once over the seawall, the unit advanced inland quickly, seized

bridges, and by 6 p.m. had captured the town of Saint-Aubinsur-Mer. The Normandy campaign lasted from D-Day to August 21. On D-Day alone there were some 9,000 Allied casualties with the 3rd Canadian Division sustaining 1,074 casualties. “In front of me I can see bodies washing back and forth in the surf,” wrote Wilkins. “A medic put a bandage on my leg. Two soldiers came along carrying a five-gallon pot of tea. “Cup of tea Canada?” They gave me tea in a tin mug. It was mixed 50/50 with rum. It was really good..” Seventy years ago, D-Day changed the face of the war. But it was the courage of soldiers like Jim Wilkins who put a face on an invasion that allowed the world to hope again.

Paycheques and public servants Re: “Both sides urged…” letter to The Progress May 28, 2014 Mr. Kelly expressed dissatisfaction and frustration over the negotiation process/progress between the BCTF and BCPSEA, and ends his letter by flippantly stating that he “would have loved to get the paycheque and perks the teachers and politicians get.” People may have the right to their opinion that teachers are well-paid, vacationsaturated whiners, but they should at least get some basic public facts right. A quick Google search provides the current salary/wage of teachers, police officers, and nurses. Disregarding extra pay for various shifts that teachers are not eligible to receive (nights, evenings, weekends), using a 40-hour work week (which is unusual for any of the above-mentioned groups), and adjusting for a 10-month pay period as most teachers do not work (and therefore are not paid)

over the summer, here is a quick comparison: As of April 6, 2006 the salary grid for teachers, based on 10 increments over 11 years of fulltime employment, lists an entry salary for a teacher with five years of post-secondary schooling as $40,776; the same teacher will “max out” at the end of 10 years at $64,116. If teachers earn their master’s degrees, their maximum income after 10 years of teaching becomes $70,269. As of April 2, 2013 nurses, with a minimum of a four-year bachelor degree, have a nine-step wage scale starting at $31.71 per hour; this translates to an annual salary of approximately $50,000 based on a 40-hour week over 10 months. Their wage increases are based on hours worked; so, using the same formula, they would experience three increases over the 10-month period, and reach their maximum wage of $41.63/hour or $66,000

for 10 months within three years of full-time employment. I don’t know how long it’s been since Mr. Kelly was a working police officer, but as of January 1, 2014 an entry level salary (adjusted for the 10-month work period) for an RCMP constable with a high school diploma is $42,228. A constable will have five pay increases over three years to reach a maximum salary of $67,590. Teachers’ “paycheques and perks” should be compared to other hard-working, selfless public servants like nurses and police officers, not politicians. Teachers, nurses, police officers – in addition to a multitude of other public and private sector workers – deserve to be paid a fair wage, and to work in safe and reasonable conditions; more importantly, they deserve a fair and respectful process by which these basic rights are negotiated with their employers. Cori-Anne Klassen

Rousing your inner momma bear Inside every mother, is a momma bear. It’s what gets awoken and comes out in force if her child gets picked on, unfairly treated, or is under threat. It is ferocious parental love and protection in action. It is a force to be reckoned with. And it could just be the missing factor in the stalemate between the B.C. teachers and the government. I’m not a school teacher, a union member, or part of the government. I am a mother. I have two sons, one in kindergarten and one in grade 2. Our school is a good one, privileged even. But even now, unlike when I was at school, my kids have no music teacher. No art teacher. One person is both gym teacher and librarian. Both of our boys are in very full classes, and the numbers of students with special needs and behavioral challenges are high.

Having volunteered a little in both classrooms, I know that I wouldn’t be able to control these groups, much less teach them. Yet these teachers do, day after day, gracefully, with love. And now to think even bigger class sizes are on the table? Even less support staff? I don’t want to see my boys’ next 10 years spent in classes of 30 or more kids, half with special needs, and one lone teacher trying to put out fires all day, every day. We are surprisingly close to this already. My momma bear is waking. The teachers have compromised a great deal, and have drawn the line. They voted to strike as a last resort. In response the government says the teachers must be off site during recess and lunch. Last week, seeing all the teachers standing on the sidewalk in front of

the school, I felt sick to my stomach. Indignant. When are they supposed to use the washroom? Where are they supposed to eat? These are the people who teach our children! Isn’t Canada supposed to be a first world country? My momma bear is out. My husband and I work hard just to get by month to month. I care about my taxes and how that money is spent. The money is in the coffers. How else could the incentives be available for big businesses, like the LNG sector? What about investing in the public education of what could become generations of sharp, purposeful entrepreneurs to create energy and environmental solutions? We can’t afford private school, and I need to work, so home-schooling is not an option for us either. Nor should it have to be. I believe pub-

lic education is essential to a democratic society. We’ll all be living in a society with the graduates of this system — I’d think we’d want it to be a good one that invests in its outcome. I want the best education for my kids. I want excellent teachers who are passionate about their jobs, committed to our kids, and who are well supported and well compensated. Doesn’t every momma bear? It’s time for all momma bears to awaken. Our cubs are threatened. Roar to your MLA. Roar to your paper. Roar to your PAC (and have them roar to the BCCPAC) It’s time for parental love to get ferocious. If not, we’ll soon find that we’ll have missed our chance. And that apathy is a beast that is too strong for even a mother bear? Molly Armstrong Chilliwack

News Poll finds more opposed to pipeline twinning Jeff Nagel Black Press A new poll points to increasing public opposition to Kinder Morgan’s proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion. The online survey by Insights West found 49 per cent of B.C. residents oppose the pipeline twinning project, while 42 per cent support it. The numbers are a nearreversal of polling results from January, when Insights West found 48 per cent supported the project and 43 per cent opposed. Opposition to the project was higher among women and younger respondents.

“There is a significant shift in the way British Columbians are analyzing this project,” Insights West vice-president Mario Canseco said. “Opposition among women has increased markedly, and men are not as supportive as they were a few months ago.” Opposition in the Lower Mainland was slightly higher at 51 per cent, compared to 38 per cent in support. 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.

More time to answer pipeline questions Kinder Morgan has been granted a two-week extension to answer thousands of questions from intervenors about its planned Trans Mountain oil pipeline project. The National Energy Board decision pushes back the company’s original June 4 deadline to June 18. Kinder Morgan had asked for an extension to June 27 to respond to the more than 10,000 questions from 122 intervenors registered for the NEB hearings into the project that get underway next January.

FREE Document Unsafe and fire-damaged buildings coming down Shredding & Food Drive An abandoned property in downtown Chilliwack has seen a meth lab, squatters, arson and vandalism over the years. Now city officials are taking action. Chilliwack council used its authority Tuesday to impose remedial action requirements on the property that could lead to demolition of the fire damaged structures, and a cleanup at the site — at the owner’s expense. There were 22 bylaw

complaints connected with that address since 2009, for anything from animal control issues, to insecure premises, squatters and even methamphetamine production and sales. There were two fires at the property this year, one in the outbuilding and the other in the main structure. The absentee owner of the property at 46392 Yale Road lives in California and has refused to maintain the property, according to the staff report. Neighbours have complained about the

Students join walkout STUDENTS from Front government for our entire schooling. For some of us, that means our entire thirteen years of education… both sides need to get their act together and reach an agreement. This has been going on far too long (thirteen years too long) and the students are the ones losing out, all because adults cannot get along.” There were no students protesting at G.W. Graham middle-secondary school, however there were several students out at Chilliwack middle school. In a message emailed to parents, and posted on

school websites Tuesday, school superintendent Evelyn Novak urged caution. “School and district personnel cannot guarantee student safety once students leave the property, nor will we provide supervision of participating students,” she wrote. “Students who choose to participate in this “Walk Out for Students” will be recorded as an unexcused absence.”

deteriorating state of the property that’s littered with weeds, glass and garbage, and considered by the fire chief to be “a fire and life safety hazard” for officials as well as trespassers who may inhabit the dilapidated building. City officials spent considerable time trying to get the owner to take action on the abandoned and hazardous property,

and bring it into compliance, according to the staff report. “I don’t think council has a whole lot of choice right now,” Gaetz said before the unanimous vote to take remedial action. “We’ve tried to work with the owner to no avail. The neighbourhood needs us to make this decision,” she said.

Our President, our Policy chair and myself went to the 62nd BC Chamber Annual General Meeting & Conference, the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foremost business gathering, held this year in Richmond May 23-24. There were great speakers and lots of networking amongst our peers. A very important part of this conference is the voting on new business/economic policies by approximately 200 Chamber delegates from across B.C. Theseproposed policies calling for local government reform, changes to energy policy, a new take on Property Transfer Tax and better oversight of product stewardship (recycling) organizations such as Multi Material BC. This year, delegates voted in 39 policies; these adopted policies now become part of the BC Chamberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advocacy agenda. Policies voted into force include: â&#x20AC;˘ Review of Regional Governance Model in Urban Areas â&#x20AC;˘ Rejecting Bylaw 280 to Allow for Private Sector Solutions â&#x20AC;˘ Removing Uncertainty from Community Amenity Contributions â&#x20AC;˘ Optimizing the Clean Energy Act for B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Economy and Environmental Policy Direction â&#x20AC;˘ Reconciling B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Natural Gas Economic Development Policy with its Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Policy â&#x20AC;˘ The Importance to the Economy of Expanded Oil Pipeline Infrastructure

â&#x20AC;˘ Property Transfer Tax Reform; Affordable Housing is Good for the Economy â&#x20AC;˘ Ensuring Affordable Product Stewardship Programs Quotes from John Winter, president and CEO, BC Chamber of Commerce: On the BC Chamber policy process: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our policy development process canvasses the best and brightest ideas from business leaders right across B.C. Once again this year, this unique grassroots process has delivered some excellent policy recommendations to help enhance B.C. as a business jurisdiction.â&#x20AC;? On local government reform: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Business leaders from around B.C. are calling for serious changes to how local governments interact with the business community. B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s businesses are raising the alarm about burdensome property taxes and Community Amenity Contributions, a lack of democratic voice for our businesses through a business vote, and the overreach of some regional governments. The message is clear: For B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy to grow, our local governments need to come alongside and support job-creating businesses rather than squeezing them dry.â&#x20AC;? On energy resolutions: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Energy policy is paramount in B.C. Our Chambers are calling for some changes to current policy to, among other things, reconcile B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ambitious economic policy on files such as LNG with our current greenhouse gas reduction policy.â&#x20AC;?

On the Property Transfer Tax resolution: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Affordable housing is an important part of a strong economy but a continuing challenge in B.C., particularly in the Lower Mainland. B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chambers are proposing some additional relief from Property Transfer Tax for B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new home buyers, while offsetting this lost revenue by raising the tax for non-residents of Canada. This approach is similar to whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been done in other real estate investment jurisdictions such as Paris, New York and Hong Kong.â&#x20AC;? On the product stewardship resolution: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our membership has seen first-hand the costs that product stewardship organizations such as Multi Material BC put onto B.C. businesses. Our policy calls for better oversight of this type of organization to ensure that any costs put onto businesses are fair, clear, and manageable.â&#x20AC;? This month we have 2 very exciting events: on June 12 Gerben van Straaten from Walas Concepts will speak at our Luncheon at the Coast Hotel on the development of the downtown Core . On June 19 in partnership with Tourism Chilliwack we will host our 11th annual â&#x20AC;&#x153;Business on the Green Golf Tournamentâ&#x20AC;? at Cultus Lake Golf Course which is a sold out event.

Food bank drive surpasses goal Agassiz. In addition, several hundred dollars of cash was also raised and went straight to the Food Bank. The Food Bank is currently helping about 3,800 people in Chilliwack each month and goes through 4,500 to 5,000 items of food per week. “It was a privilege for the youth at Central to find a way to help out in our community,” said Kornelsen, noting the support received from businesses like Save-On-Foods, Campbell’s Soup, 89.5 The Drive, Coastal Mountain Fuels, Fraser Valley Custom Printers, Kelly and Nicole Johnston of Sutton Realty Group, and the Save-On-Foods band “The Soup Cans.”

A drive to restock the shelves at the Chilliwack Food Bank collected 27,000 food items on Saturday, exceeding last year’s total by 12,000 and this year’s ambitious goal by 2,000. “It was an amazing thing to witness this past Saturday, as our community stepped up to help end hunger in Chilliwack and Stuff A Truck with non-perishable food items,” said Jonathan Kornelsen of Central Community Church.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

“According to Google Maps, the drive to some tasty yet simple food fare will take approximately 6 hours and 5 minutes, and is about 684 kilometres.” Alexandra Straub

Visit the Audi gallery at DrivewayCanada.ca

Munich, Germany – There’s no shortage of places to chow down here in Bavaria but that’s not really what I had in mind. Sometimes you just by Alexandra Straub hanker for some good ol’ fashioned home cooking and the desire makes distance no object. According to Google Maps, the drive to some tasty yet simple food fare will take approximately six hours and five minutes, and is about 684 kilometres. One way. That’s not including the approximately 8,300 kms travelled to get to Munich, Germany. The destination: Budapest, Hungary, where I’ll have one night to spend with my grandparents – grandma Ilona and grandpa Pál Lencsés. I’ve got the use of a bright red 2015 Audi A3 and a full tank of gas, so why not? Considering I’ll be there less than 24 hours, words like “ambitious” or “motivated” or even “crazy” might describe my reasoning. But heck, if it means I get a home cooked meal, I’d travel all night. Relatively speaking, I’m so close to them. I couldn’t let the opportunity go to waste. And anyone who loves their grandparents’ cooking will sympathize.

Curbers often lurk online and in the small print of classified advertising sections. But no matter where they choose to advertise their cars for sale, their driving desire is to make you a bad deal dressed as a good one. In the next two weeks, we’re going to take a look first at a typical curber profile then tell you about the activities of some specific conmen known to the authorities. It is hoped that this information will ensure you won’t

fall foul of these low-lifers. I’m indebted to the Vehicle Sales Authority for providing the research necessary for me to furnish with this advice. I guess I’ve always had a cartoonish image of what a curber looks like but the VSA put me straight on that notion. Typically, the curber is a male, 45 or older but they can come in all ages, shapes and sizes. Frequently, they have a ‘your neighbour’ look, avoiding anything flashy in appearance that

might draw attention. Sometimes dresses like a mechanic or labourer who needs the cash urgently for one reason or another. He always have a story about the vehicle that sounds reasonable, given that the buyer is really only interested in the car, not the story. However, sometimes there will be an elaborate yarn designed to elicit an emotional reaction; for example, he’s selling for his dad’s widow, his kid is going back to the home country for a visit. This is a way they can “bridge” the registration – sell a vehicle still registered in someone else’s name. The only way to reach him is by cell phone, he’s slippery about providing details and his availability. He will always be alone and usually has a pay-as-you-go phone. This enables him to switch SIM cards and use different numbers in ads for different cars. Here’s a tip: scan ads and see if any others read similarly to the one detailing the car you are interested in. They may be slick but one downfall is their creative writing ability! – They usually use the same language and terms in all of their ads. The viewing location will always be a parking lot, most often at a mall or large grocery store parking lot, and occasionally at service stations. He will avoid going for a test drive, saying that he’s not allowed to let someone else drive the vehicle for insurance reasons

or the vehicle doesn’t have enough gas. If there is a test drive, the radio will be turned on up loud to drown out any mechanical problems. If the customer wants to take the vehicle for an inspection, the curber will accuse them of not trusting them! Always in a hurry because another potential buyer is coming by shortly. Chats constantly to keep the buyer from having time to think clearly. Curbers are all good salespersons, they know how to deflect and direct conversations. They are engaging and portray themselves as being on the buyer’s side; “not like those bad dealers” in some disreputable area of town. They want cash and will take the purchaser to their choice of autoplan agent. I have to say if you get this far along in a transaction and you haven’t cottoned on, after reading this advice you might be destined to be a victim! keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Putting the finishing touches to the magnificent Mustang Our classic and collector car expert continues today with the third part of his four-part series on the restoration of public relations executive Laura Ballance’s rare 1967 Ford

Mustang T5 by 360 Fabrication in Abbotsford. By Nigel Matthews

The Mustang T5 body shell has been painted, clear

coated, wet-sanded, recleared and finally polished to a show quality finish. Now comes the fun part of a restoration, the reassembly, opening boxes and fitting all of those new parts. This is as

close as you can get to being a car factory assembly line worker except you are doing every task instead of just one, and you have all the time that is needed and not having to work to the speed

of a moving production line. One of the upgrades that the T5 will receive is a new product designed to dampen and suppress the driveline and road noise, making the inner cabin as quiet as possible

and a bit like a modern car. The foil covered pads have a peel off backing and are adhered to every inner sheet metal panel such as the roof, floor, doors and bulkhead. The next step is to install the

new wiring harness; old wiring harnesses become brittle over time due to heat and corrosion at the joints and terminals, ask the owner of any British Sports Car from that era! The interior has been completely renewed from top to bottom staring with the headliner, trim panels, carpets, dash pads and the seats have all been reupholstered. Before the new back glass and windshield are installed (all of the other glass panels have been replaced) the new vinyl top is installed. Installing a vinyl roof is not a task that is performed very often these days but 360 have the skills to do this in-house. LKQ stocks a huge selection of high quality muscle car sheet metal and parts. “If you are doing a premium muscle car restoration the only sheet metal you want to use is from LKQ,” asserted Rick Francoeur at 360. The exterior panels will soon have their final fitting. They have been fitted and removed during the restoration process countless times to make sure that the panel gaps are correct. The final fitting process will involve two or three people to make sure that the paint does not get chipped or damaged. Before the original V-8 engine was removed from the car it underwent a compression check, all of the cylinders had equal and strong readings so a complete rebuild was not necessary. The carburetor has been replaced with a new two-barrel, the automatic transmission has been completely re-built as has the rear axle. Rick talked Laura out of fitting a modern rack and pinion power steering kit or even upgrading the manual steering box to a powerassisted unit so it will be reliving the Armstrong steering experience for Laura when parking at low speeds! One safety upgrade is the installation of original Ford front disc-brakes; these are a must in today’s traffic. Collector vehicle drivers are very cautious, invariably when accidents occur it is the drivers around you that are not paying attention or cutting you off. 360 have done their research and paid a lot of attention to detail during this rebuild, right down to avoiding the temptation of installing an exhaust system with two tailpipes. Next week, we will explore what exactly a T5 is? How rare they are and explore some of the events that Laura and her brand new old car car will be attending in this 50th anniversary year of the Ford Mustang.

The 18th annual Gwynne Vaughan Plant Sale and Garden Park Party is on Saturday, June 7 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the park on Fairfield Island. A wide range of plants, flowers, herbs and vegetables will be up for grabs. All funds raised go back into the community park. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS FILE

Plant sale: social event of the year Katie Bartel The Progress Anne McIntyre has her list ready for this weekend’s Gwynne Vaughan Plant Sale. Japanese maples, hostas, and heritage tomatoes are top of the priority. “It’s impossible not to buy anything,” she says. The 18th annual Gwynne Vaughan Plant Sale and Garden Park Party is on Saturday, June 7 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. More than 25 nurseries from all over the Fraser Valley will be there to sell specialty herbs and vegetables, perennials, shrubs, trees, annuals, Siberian irises, and more; many of which are not typically found in garden variety shops.

“It’s a great event for gardeners,” says McIntyre, a longtime volunteer with the Gwynne Vaughan Park Society. “A lot of the plants you wouldn’t normally see; some are quite rare.” Like, for instance, the floating water plants brought in by Echo Nurseries, the main wholesale grower of all floating plants in Western Canada. Or, the tomatoes from Farmacy a new organic tomato farm based in Yarrow. Or, Headlands Garden Plants, a nursery that supplies “most of the herbs” in grocery stores, but only attends one plant sale – that being Gwynnie Gwynne Vaughan’s. This sale, however, isn’t just about the plants. Described over the years as one of Chilliwack’s biggest social

events, there’s something for everyone. In addition to the vegetation up for grabs, there will also be a few artisan booths, several exhibits for children to explore, including planting something of their own with Food Matters, the Rotary Train, and the widely popular, super decadent Strawberry Tea, boasting real china and cloth linens, located in the Heritage Orchard under the old apple trees. “We get thousands of people out, especially on a sunny day,” says McIntyre. “It’s one of Chilliwack’s greatest community events. It’s an amazing variety of plants and crafts and things to do.” All for a good cause. The plant sale is a fundraiser for the Gwynne Vaughan Park. All fees obtained from booth and tent

rentals go to the park, as does 10 per cent of all sales. That means the upkeep of both the park grounds, and the Edwardian heritage house that was built at the turn of the century. “This allows us to keep the park in good shape, and the house as well,” says McIntyre. Located on the corner of Williams Road and Hope River Road, the park was willed to the city in 1993 by Chilliwack pioneer Gwynne Vaughan, an avid gardener, who grew up on the property and spent most her days there. Today, the park consists of more than six acres of lawns, gardens and paths, all surrounding the property’s heritage house that was built in 1896. It’s a regular site for weddings,

TEETH-IN-AN-HOUR™

■ S AFETY F IRST

TEETH-IN-AN-HOUR™ is a revolutionary concept providing patients with fully functioning teeth on dental implants in one single procedure that lasts about an hour. This technology was recently developed by Nobel Biocare and allows for collaboration between both the restorative doctor and the surgeon. This merging of knowledge and experience achieves not only increased safety, but also a more precise implant placement. In addition, the fabrication of a final prosthesis is completed prior to the surgery. The computerguided implant surgery is done in an arthroscopic fashion without requiring any flap reflection. This benefits the patient in that there is less postoperative discomfort, less swelling and less bruising. Patients can often resume their normal activities the next day. The process starts when a CAT scan is taken of the patient’s jawbone. This CAT scan allows for the generation of a three-dimensional model of the jawbone that can then be used in virtual reality software to plan the implant placement without the presence of the patient. The results are more accurate implant placement, and less chair time for the patient at the surgery office.

The Kiwanis Club members have been working collaboratively on the construction project for about seven years. And now, thanks to substantial community support, the facility is open and available to help children better understand the potential hazards (like a blanket tossed over a space heater) that exist in any home.

To keep progressing, add something new to your workout routine.

To keep progressing, a fitness routine must change! To change a fitness routine try different cardio exercises and vary the intensity. Adding in new strength exercises will challenge muscles in different ways. Joining a group exercise class (one that changes the workout regularly) or working with a creative personal trainer are great ways to add variety to a workout. Not only is variety great for the body, it is more fun! 3. The diet needs to change. Even the most chal-

lenging and varied exercise program cannot compensate for poor eating habits. Some people eat healthier when they exercise, while others use going to the gym as a reason to allow extra indulgences. The problem is compounded if one relies on the calorie counter on cardio machines to track calories burned. Machines such as the elliptical trainer can grossly overestimate calories burned. The result is a frustrating plateau in weight loss, or even weight gain. A food journal is an

awesome tool to keep your diet in check. Make sure you read labels to get an idea of which foods to enjoy regularly, and which to enjoy as an occasional treat. As tasty as that chocolate chip cookie may be, it may not be worth the twenty minutes of interval training it takes to burn off!

Progress Eric

Welsh 604.702.5572 • sports@theprogress.com

Hoops community split over b-ball program Eric J. Welsh, The Progress The postponement/suspension/ demise of a proposed Basketball BC program at GW Graham has created a fire storm of reaction. Proponents of the program say an opportunity has been lost and blame a small and self-interested group for bringing it down. Opponents of the program say they weren’t consulted, and believe it will siphon off top players and hurt what they’ve built in their own schools. Announced in early May, the program would have started this fall at GWG, open to any eligible student in the school district. In Wednesday’s Chilliwack Progress, Chilliwack secondary school basketball coaches Joe Mauro and Joe Ogmundson expressed concern that the program might, intentionally or unintentionally, serve as a recruitment for GWG. While that put the focus on the CSS bench bosses, Sardis secondary school junior girls basketball coach Gina Graves says many more people have issues. “It is very disheartening to read on Facebook that the large egos of two coaches had this program postponed, when that is not the case,” she said. “It was not the actions of two coaches, but the actions and concerns of multiple coaches within the district which resulted in it being postponed. For this program to have been successful, all coaches needed to have been consulted before it was introduced, rather than reading about it for the first time in the newspaper.” But even within one school, opinions can differ. Richard Tagle is one of the longest serving senior coaches in the district, with a tenure surpassed only by Mauro and Ogmundson. He agrees more communication and consultation should have been done. At the same time, without assigning blame to anyone on either side, he feels a great opportunity may be slipping away. “To provide an opportunity to kids to advance themselves is what our education system is all about, to allow kids to reach their potential and excel,” he said. “We, as coaches at this level of development, are here to develop, enhance and improve the

skills of our players and students. This isn’t about championships won, banners on the wall or who has the best team.” Tagle suspects the conversation would be different if the program was centered around math, english or science skills. Because it’s basketball, he believes competitive concerns may be getting in the way. “For some of the athletes in the district, university is affordable on an athletic scholarship, and aren’t we suppose to help them excel?” he asked. “I was excited to have the opportunity to have Al (UFV head coach and proposed program head coach Tuchscherer) coach my own children. I believe that my two children would have benefitted greatly from him. Both my children will be at Sardis next year, and I am saddened that my Grade 12 daughter will miss out on this opportunity.” One parent who has opposed the program didn’t respond to Progress interview requests this week, but parents in favour of the program offered their take. “As a mother of three teens who have been passionately involved in club and school basketball for the past 8 years, I was thrilled to hear of this new program,” said Kirsti Dueck. “Having attended the information session, my kids were excited to try out. One of them called it ‘a dream come true’ and ‘something I have waited for my whole life.’ I am still unclear as to why this positive experience for our children has become such a political one.” Vedder middle school’s Sue Northey sees the value in the program, and hopes it can still be salvaged. “A West Vancouver program similar to this operated on neutral territory (the West Van Rec Centre). Could Chilliwack not run the program out of the Landing Sports Centre, the YMCA, a more central school or a rotation of schools?” she questioned. “Is there a stipulation that program participants could not transfer to GWG? These questions could all have been asked and answered had other coaches been given the opportunity for feedback prior to going public.” Post your thoughts at theprogress. com/sports/262002991.html

Chiefs deal Butcher to Vipers The Chilliwack Chiefs have transferred the playing rights of forward Ben Butcher to the Vernon Vipers in exchange for future considerations. Chiefs head coach and general manager Jason Tatarnic says this move came as a result of a few factors. “We had to make a few moves due to the Canadian Junior Hockey League’s import quota, and moving Ben was one those,” he explained. “It’s always tough to move a player of Ben’s quality. You have hard decisions to make when selecting your six imports and this was a tough

decision.” Butcher, the younger brother of former Chiefs star Matt Butcher, played two years in Chilliwack. A big-bodied (six-foot-two and 205 pound) power forward, expectations were high for the Bellingham native. He netted 10 goals and 18 points in 54 games his first year. Last year he improved to 13 goals and 31 points in 58 games. “The Chiefs organization would like to thank Ben for his commitment to Chilliwack on and off of the ice,” Tatarnic said.

Roberts to captain Chiefs

The Chilliwack Chiefs announced Tuesday that defenceman Eric Roberts will serve as captain for the 2014-15 season. Roberts is entering his third full season with the team and has appeared in 108 regular season games. Roberts is no stranger to wearing the C. He was captain of atom, peewee and bantam teams while playing in the Abbotsford Minor Hockey system. Chiefs head coach and general manager Jason Tatarnic says selecting Roberts was an easy choice. “It was obvious in our discussions that he would be a great person to lead our team,” Tatarnic said. “He has a tremendous work ethic.

He battles hard and we want to be a hard team to play against in all zones. We expect Eric to lead our team and prepare them for those battles. We are going to strive for excellence and it starts in the dressing room under Eric’s leadership.” Roberts is thrilled to take on the role and understands what is expected. “It’s a tremendous honor,” he said. “As a leader on the team I will make sure every player is 100 per cent committed to what needs to be done to win. The Chilliwack Chiefs are a family and every player is a leader in their own way. Nobody will be along for the ride. Each player will give their all day in and day out so that our team will succeed. The harder we battle in practice, the easier the games will

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our greatly cherished father, grandfather, uncle, cousin and lifelong friend, Raymond Joseph Lem, in Chilliwack, BC, on May 29, 2014, with his daughters by his side. Ray was born in Melfort, SK, and was predeceased by his parents, Regina (Matalski) and George Lem, and, in 1974, by his much loved first wife, Cindy Helen (Ernst) Lem. Ray loved and was loved by his three daughters, Jacqueline Cunningham (Richard) of Wakefield, MA; Gail Lem (Pat Hagarty) of Smiths Falls, ON; and Anita Lem of Chilliwack, BC. He was the beloved grandfather of Kristin Cunningham (Aaron Lamb) of Wakefield, MA and Allison Cunningham (Lance Merritt) of Bourne, MA. Ray is survived by his much loved cousins Clarence and Agnes Matalski of Regina, SK, by numerous other cousins, nieces and nephews, and by many devoted friends. An expert horseman and an extraordinary horse trainer, roper, trick roper and bullwhip expert, Ray spent a lifetime performing with his highly-trained trick horses across the country, from the early years of the travelling road shows all the way to the movies. King Shows and Alberta Slim’s Circus were followed by performances with Tom Bishop’s 4B Ranch Rodeo and Wild West Show in Ontario, and later many other wild west shows and rodeos throughout British Columbia. The highlights of Ray’s career included performances with his horses on the TV series The Black Stallion with Hollywood actor Mickey Rooney, as well as work on two other television series, Bordertown and McGyver. He was a proud honorary member of the Chilliwack Riding Club and was deeply honored in 2004 to receive a lifetime achievement award from the Wild West Arts Club in Las Vegas. Ray was one of those uncommon people who was as humble as he was accomplished. He never made an enemy; only lifelong friendships. His many skills included being a self-taught artist, leather carver, and guitar player. His irrepressible sense of humor kept those around him in laughter. He had a keen appreciation for life, music, movies, the great outdoors, and animals big and small. He bought his first horse, Reno, when he was 17, and from then on, no matter what changes life brought, he was never without a horse, and he loved everything “cowboy.” A celebration of Ray’s life will be held at a later date. Happy trails to you, Rodeo Ray, until we meet again.
