Schools may feel the pinch

Katie Bartel The Progress If strike action continues come September, it’s not just teachers who will suffer salary depletion. Individual schools could also feel the pinch. Chilliwack school district brings in over $1 million a year with its international program; the majority of which is distributed to the individual schools housing those students. If the strike continues, there are concerns international students will pull out of the school district – which would be a financial hit for individual schools. “The bulk of the international funding goes to the schools with the international students,” said Gerry Slykhuis, secretary treasurer of the Chilliwack school district. “It provides quite a bit of extra revenue to the schools that have them. It would be a concern [for those schools] because it augments a lot of programs within the schools.” Slykhuis couldn’t provide exact numbers on how many international students the school district gets on average a year. The school district’s international coordinator is currently away on holidays. However, a year’s tuition is $11,500. Some students are full year, while others are partial. Because of the teacher strike, schools were closed for a total of 13 days. Students in grades 9 and younger did not have final exams or report cards. That means, for some international students, they did not receive the full Canadian education experience. The Chilliwack school district, at this time, will not be reimbursing international parents for strike days. Continued: STRIKE/ p7

Waddington makes bid for city council Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Sam Waddington is the first one out of the gate in Chilliwack to declare his intention to seek a seat on city council this fall. The 24-year-old owner of Mt. Waddington’s Outdoors store says he’s eager to concentrate on the various challenges facing Chilliwack. “I’m invested in Chilliwack in every way,” he said. “I grew up here, I went to school here and I have a business here.” He headed out after graduation, travelled internationally and then
came back to settle down. “I have put down roots here. I’ve also put my trust in this city as the place where I most want to to live, and work and play,” he said. He’s been watching the decision-making processes in Chilliwack with interest. “I love what we have here in Chilliwack, and with that love comes responsibility. I want to ensure I do my part to continue to make it an even better place, and especially to make sure the things that people love about our community are not lost in that growth. I will do my best to provide a steady hand at the helm as we grow.”
But why declare his intention this early in the election race? He felt he either had to increase his participation in local politics or step back. “I don’t believe this city is on the wrong track, but it could take a better one,” he said. “There’s always room for improvement.” Declaring this early will also give potential voters an opportunity to seek him out and tell him their concerns and priorities. “It gives the community a chance to give me some feedback in the coming months about what types of issues matter to them,” he said.

His top issues include downtown revitalization, transit, and solidifying Chilliwack’s position in the region. “I would also love to see Chilliwack city hall move downtown. I think that would make a definitive statement about revitalization.” He’s been thinking about running for council for a while. “The past two years I’ve been getting more involved in my community,” Waddington tells The Progress.

Accessibility coming to Evans school playground Katie Bartel The Progress It’s not the full playground they wanted, but it’s a start. Come September, students at Evans elementary will start seeing the payoff of their hard work this past year. Shovels will be in the ground starting the last week of August, laying out a new, rubberized surface for the school’s playground. Three new pieces of accessible playground equipment will also be installed following the installation of the ground cover, which, according to outgoing school principal Gabe D’Archangelo, is the most important piece. “Because it’s a small school and
the kids all know each other, the playground was always an issue,” said D’Archangelo. “A few of our kids were always on the outside looking in, to be honest. “This is going to change all that. It really will. It’s going to allow accessibility for all kids.” The current playground has a wood chipped flooring that prevents children in wheelchairs from using it. A rubberized surface will allow all students, as well as young families with strollers, access. The installation will also include a new OmniSpin Spinner, Oodle Swing and Gyro/Orbiter/Cycler combination. The OmniSpin and Oodle Swing are fully accessible with high back bucket seats and transfer points from wheelchair
and walkers to the equipment. The Gyro/Orbiter/Cycler is a combination of able-bodied and accessible equipment that helps build upper body strength and teaches centrifugal force. “The pieces are all going to be universally accessible and useable,” said D’Archangelo. “The idea behind that is that they’re for all the kids. They aren’t just for our physically challenged kids. They can all use them. “And that builds the inclusivity for the school.” The school’s playground committee had hoped to install a fully accessible playground in one piece. However, playground politics have caused them to rethink that strategy.
A year and a half ago, Evans was quoted $98,000 for a complete, fully accessible playground by Habitat Systems. The company recently increased the quote to $103,340. “We didn’t expect that; we thought once the price was done, it was fixed,” said D’Archangelo. Now, the school is building the playground in pieces. As of June, the school had raised over $50,000 through fundraising initiatives and grants that include Tire StewardShip BC, Chilliwack Foundation, Ford Drive 4 UR School, Aviva, and other local initiatives. The new equipment and ground cover will cost $42,059.56. “The shovels will be in the
ground and something will there for the kids for September,” said D’Archangelo. “It’s going to create some more excitement. We’re halfway [with fundraising] and halfway is a long way to go, but if we start putting some things in place, it’ll help.” The fundraising initiatives are continuing. Any company that donates $1,000 will have a durable banner hung from the school’s fence along Evans Road for the duration of the fundraising initiatives. Once the playground is complete, the companies will also be recognized on a commemorative plaque. For more information, visit the Evans Universal Playground Project Facebook page.

Timber the yellow Labrador was none the worse for wear after a dip in the Vedder River. But the dog’s owner lost sight of him last Wednesday when he was swept downstream in the strong current, and unable to make it back to shore. She called RCMP and they found him stuck on the other side of the river about one kilometre up from the Keith Wilson bridge. “When people are panicked and they don’t know who to call, they call 911,” said RCMP Const. Tracy Wolbeck. “Thankfully we were in a position to be able to go to the river and help Timber and his owner.” One officer climbed down to where the dog was, while another was bringing the RCMP boat. A Sea-Doo rider ended up scooping the dog off the shore and bringing him to the officer. “It was a terrifying experience knowing he was somewhere in the water,” said dog owner Kathy Slade, and that they couldn’t quite reach him. “I can’t put into words how thankful we are to the RCMP and to the other members of the public who helped return Timber to us safely.” Other than being soaking wet and exhausted, Timber was “no worse for wear.”

Ruth & Naomi’s Mission could use a hand. The need for their services seems to be on the rise in downtown Chilliwack. “We’re seeing poverty levels increasing,� said Bill Raddatz, executive director at Ruth & Naomi’s. They’re used to feeding about 110 people per night. Now they see an average of 155 people for a typical evening meal. “That’s a huge increase, and we like to give out food hampers, too,� he said. But their hamper closet shelves are rather bare at the moment.

summer harvesting. “We had mothers arrive crying for food as recently as last week. So I think what we’re facing is an increase in poverty at a time where we’re at our lowest both in terms of volunteers and food items.� In June they saw as many as 170 people showing up for evening meals. “That’s unprecedented. We used to see about three families. Now we’re seeing seven or eight,� said Raddatz. There’s two places to donate this week for
anyone interested in helping out. One is at the Ruth & Naomi’s yellow tent at Party in the Park on Friday July 11. Kids can have some fun with the coin toss. The next opportunity is at the Chilliwack Alliance Church on Saturday, July 12, during their car show fundraiser for the mission. Love in Motion has selected Ruth & Naomi’s to receive part proceeds from its Ride Across Canada fundraiser supporting at-risk urban communities. Cyclists were on
hand in Chilliwack last Tuesday, and motorcyclists are also expected to arrive on Thursday, July 10. “About 90 of the cyclists were here for lunch, so we could thank them,� Raddatz said. The Chilliwack charity will receive 67 per cent of all the funds raised by Love in Motion participants in B.C. That could mean more than $150,000 this fall, which can be used for capital projects only. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

First marijuana stores open in Washington State Approved outlets near B.C. include two in Bellingham Jeff Nagel Black Press Washington State’s first two dozen approved retail marijuana stores include two outlets in Bellingham and others in communities just south of the Okanagan. The state approved the licenses overnight and several of them vowed to open their doors Tuesday. “We’re opening tomorrow at 8 o’clock,� Tom Beckley said Monday. “We’ve secured 20 pounds plus.� He’s the owner of Top Shelf Cannabis in Bellingham and the electrician joins the ranks of a new class of marijuana entrepreneurs since the state legalized recreational use of the drug and adult possession of small quantities in 2012. But there are growing pains.
Approved producers of cannabis in the state have been slow to get enough product grown and ready for market, so the supply shortage has meant higherthan-expected prices as stores open. Beckley predicts most stores will charge $15 to $20 a gram – more than double the prices in B.C. pot dispensaries. “After a few months I think the prices will come back down when more growers come on line.� Beckley planned to charge $10 a gram for his first customers on the basis that a lower introductor y price would be “good for the state� on the first day of retail pot operations. No Blaine or Point Rober ts applicants were approved in the initial announcement, but more are expected to get the green light from the state’s liquor control board.
Other approved stores are in the Everett area. There are two more fur ther east in Winthrop and Okanogan and two more in Spokane. B.C. marijuana advocates have said the price of pot in the prov-
ince has been declining as Americans gain easier access to the drug at home.

STRIKE from Front International enrollment for the 2014-15 school year has not yet been impacted by the labour strife, but that could change. “If the strike resumes in September, there may be people pulling out,” said Slykhuis. “If it looks as though there’s no end in sight, and it’s been going on that long, it starts to worry people. “The strike impact on international students is a concern for all the school districts.” kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

It is a truly unique place with its blend of urban, agriculture and wild spaces. We’re at the stage of growth where we’re seeing a lot of opportunities. The future will be determined on how we handle those opportunities, and we have to be mindful about how we grow this city.”

There’s still a long way to go on mental illness
The Chilliwack
Progress
R AESIDE
Few can argue that mental illness touches everyone. There are, of course, those who have been diagnosed. Then there are their children, siblings, parents, friends and co-workers. Even complete strangers are often hit with the ripples, as society bears the burden of missed work days, medical visits, inadequate treatment options, etc. It doesn’t matter that research has led to many strategies and treatments that can help sufferers live productive, even normal, lives. Perhaps if it felt easier to talk openly about mental illness, things would be different. For those directly affected, it can feel simpler to try to ignore the reality. While there have been great strides in the realm of mental illness, society still has a hard time accepting it as a disease. ‘Mental illness’ is still a phrase that doesn’t dare get said in polite company. But slowly that shroud is lifting. Some people are becoming more brave to step into the spotlight, to talk about their own struggles. Clara Hughes, for instance. The former Canadian Olympic cyclist and speedskater shared the story of her own family’s battles with mental illness as she cycled 12,000 kms across Canada. Clara’s “Big Ride” concluded on July 1 in Ottawa and connected with more than 23,000 young people in 105 communities. People like Hughes, and those enduring their challenges less publicly, know the difference that acceptance — both of the conditions and the person trying to live with them — makes, and we can all learn from them. But there is still a long way to go. No one should feel the need to hide something they cannot control. The reality is, many of us share the blame for the fact so many people do just that. — Black Press
B.C. V IEWS
A brief history of treaty talks VICTORIA – A few weeks before the landmark decision declaring aboriginal title proven by the Tsilhqot’in Nation, I picked up a used university textbook that looked like a handy reference. Geography in British Columbia: People and Landscapes in Transition, by Brett McGillivray (UBC Press, Second Edition) is a good reference, except where it strays from geography into politics. This 2005 edition came out not long before the B.C. Treaty Commission started producing agreements, notably with the Tsawwassen First Nation. It recounts the establishment of the Ministry of Native Affairs by the Bill Vander Zalm government in 1990, and the election the next year of Mike Harcourt’s NDP, who reversed the province’s historical legal position and tried to accept the existence of aboriginal title. At this point the textbook
departs from the facts and leads its freshman pupils into left-wing dogma. McGillivray writes: “When the Liberal Party won the 2001 election (with all but two seats), it launched a province-wide referendum on treaty negotiations, prompting commentators to suggest the govTom FLETCHER ernment was ‘trying to impose 19th century ideas on a 21st century problem’.” “Commentators” in the above quote is of course only one commentator, veteran lefty Vancouver columnist Stephen Hume. This quote was indeed representative of the media consensus at the time. On TV, aboriginal leaders burned their ballots while denouncing the referendum as racist and divisive. The public,
and later university students, were taught that Gordon Campbell’s government was exploiting racism for political gain. In fact, this referendum was one of a long series of efforts to untangle the legal knot left by Canada and B.C.’s failure to complete historical treaties after 1900. Seven of the eight questions in the 2002 referendum were simply to confirm the existing position of B.C. treaty negotiators. The purpose, then as now, was to settle treaties. The first question asked if private land should be exempt from expropriation for treaty settlements. Private property rights are not so much a 19th century idea as a 17th century one, defined in 1690 by John Locke. What remains true today is that no society has made significant social and environmental progress without individual property rights. See the woeful state of most of Canada’s communally

owned aboriginal reserves, where individually owned property isn’t permitted. The Tsilhqot’in dropped claims of property held by non-aboriginal residents from their appeal to the highest court, a wise move considering that pushing people from their homes would lead to violent confrontations. Other referendum questions related to preser ving public access to Crown land for hunting, fishing and park use. All were endorsed. The only new question asked if aboriginal self-government “should have the characteristics of local government, with powers delegated from Canada and British Columbia.” Arguably, that’s what has emerged from the Tsilhqot’in case, which upholds provincial jurisdiction over public forest policy on environmental and fire protection on aboriginal title lands. By 2009, frustrated with a
lack of progress, due to Ottawa’s inaction as well as inconsistent leadership from aboriginal communities, the Campbell government tried to cut the knot. Its proposed Recognition Act would have accepted a form of aboriginal title across the province, based on 30 historical “indigenous nations.” That idea originated not with the province but with the First Nations Leadership Council. It was rejected by a broader group of aboriginal leaders later that year. The best way forward, also endorsed in the 2002 referendum, is sharing land use planning. B.C. has also begun sharing resource revenues. The most likely path, however, is back to court for years to come. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Energy not a rationale to burn waste Metro Vancouver politicians are insisting that burning our waste is okay as long as you do it to create energy. This is actually a simple solution for them, they can justify polluting the Fraser Valley air shed with toxic chemicals, and creating eternal wasteland in the drainage of the lower Thompson, at Cache Creek, while appeasing the population of the GVRD, by solving their waste dilemma. They do this because they don’t
care about our air quality in Mission and Chilliwack. They don’t care about the eternal wasteland they’ve created in Cache Creek and Ashcroft. They don’t care that their solutions only add to the real problem of creating waste that’s not reusable or recyclable. Then they mask it under the pretext of creating green energy. What they didn’t do, was their homework. Unfortunately, burning plastic that’s mixed in with the garbage
doesn’t qualify as green energy. So now they don’t qualify for a price they need for a profitable operation. Metro needed the higher electricity price so they could fool us into thinking that they are taking care of two problems, waste and energy at once, but in reality, they are creating three, air pollution, ground water leeching, and wasteland, all in order to get rid of the waste the GVRD creates. As well, they turn once pristine country-
side into eternal wastelands, with bottom ash, at Ashcroft. We should all stand with Mayor Sharon Gaetz and the Fraser Valley Regional District and oppose this ridiculous system — a system that supports the creation of product that’s not reusable or recyclable, but instead turns into poison on the concept of creating energy by burning garbage.

vicinity.” Regardless that the city has no jurisdiction over federally issued flight permits, the fact is that practices by stunt planes cause residents to be subjected to unnecessary, disturbing noise, which under this bylaw should be prohibited. As a long-time resident of Chilliwack, I resent the fact that the few sunny days we do have, where we are able to spend some peaceful time outside, are disturbed by this unnecessary loud noise. It seems that stunt plane pilots have no consideration for the citizens who actually live here. The noise caused by just one plane greatly affects so many people. Another aspect that needs to be brought to attention is safety. At the time of an air show, emergency personal are on hand and in attendance to
the horse and buggy days today. Think of how many things these resources are used for. Gasoline, oil and diesel for transportation, building materials, clothing and countless other items we use today. What if these conveniences were cut off to us? Yet, how stable is the supply we get from Iraq? The Gateway Pipeline allows Canada to become an energy
act right away if an accident happens. However, there is no such provision during the frequent practices made by stunt planes. Many choose to live in Chilliwack because of the quieter lifestyle it offers. If we wanted to live by a noisy airport and watch planes circle the skies, we would have moved to Richmond. I fear if we do not address this problem now, others will begin to take advantage of the situation, turning our city into a full-time practice ground for stunt planes. It is reasonable to permit this noise one, or two days a year, when the air show is happening. However, the case that this loud, unpleasant noise should be accepted on a regular basis within our community is entirely unreasonable. Don Ross

It baffles me as to why cars are required to have mufflers and the use of loud engine brakes by transport trucks in residential areas is prohibited, yet very loud acrobatic planes are permitted to fly over our city as often as they desire and make as much noise as they like. The City of Chilliwack has a bylaw which states: “No person shall make, or cause or allow to be made, in or on a highway or elsewhere in the District, any noise or sound which disturbs or tends to disturb the quiet, peace, rest, enjoyment, comfort or convenience of the public, neighbourhood or persons in the

Images and Land Claims series gets underway this weekend
Abbotsford
Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It’s a UFV Series featuring films, maps and discussions where the timely topic of land claims is approached from several directions. Images and Land Claims is set to run July 11-13, hosted by Sto:lo Nation at the Sto:lo Research and Resource Management Centre on the Coqualeetza grounds, supported by University of the Fraser Valley. The series is the “chance to make journeys of inquiry and of imagination to the struggle for indigenous rights,” according to the poster. Images and Land Claims is geared to students and academics, as well as the general public, says Ken Brealey, UFV’s associate dean of arts. “We think it will interest anyone with direct or indirect association with land claims and treaty issues,” he said. The audience could comprise everyone from First Nations leaders and community members, to rights and title researchers, and cartographers, to filmmakers and paralegals. There’s good information on offer for everyone really. “To play devil’s advocate, members of the public also need

to know where land claims come from,” said the geography professor. The whole subject turns out to be quite timely, given the recent Williams decision from the Supreme Court of Canada on the matter of aboriginal rights and title of the Tsilhqot’in Nation of B.C. Brealey actually contributed to the research component used in the historic trial. “It might give this weekend series some added luster or import,” he added, about the timing of the Williams decision. The visual materials like maps, photography, and film will enable people to “see” what has been largely hidden. “One of the themes in the certificate course has been that land claims are in some sense about making what was once invisible, visible,” said Brealey. “When you do that, you start to decolonize yourself, and realize there are other worlds in our backyard.” The series is linked to a UFV certificate course, Indigenous Maps, Films, Rights and Land Claims, which runs until July 18. Participants this weekend will gain insight about the struggles in Canada, following the Sto:lo in B.C., and other First Nations, as well as the people of South Africa,
touching on issues of decolonization and cultural revival as well. It includes the screening of Hugh Brody’s new film about the San (Bushman) in South Africa. Brody is UFV’s Canada Research Chair in Aboriginal Studies. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. on Friday night, with an official welcome at about 6:15 p.m. Film screening at 6:30 p.m. Screening of two films Tracks Across Sand (Overture and Aftermath), and then from 7:458:30 p.m. discussion will led by San representatives Annetta Bok and Dirk Pienaar, making their first ever visit to Canada from the Kalahari. Speakers will include Brody, Leslie Pinder, Neil Sterritt, Don Ryan, Sonny McHalsie, and Dave Schaepe. Neil Sterrit and Don Ryan will cover Gitksan territory in film and history. Sonny McHalsie and Dave Schaepe will be talking about Stó:lo territory along the Fraser River. A reception will follow. Details about other events over the weekend on a blog www. blogs.ufv.ca/blog/2014/07/ images-land-claims-weekendfilms-maps-discussion/ Admission is free, and the public is welcome. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Musician David Francey performs on the beach during the Harrison Festival of the Arts on Tuesday, July 15 at 7 p.m. SUBMITTED PHOTO
Francey at Harrison Fest on the beach Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Singer-songwriter David Francey is known for being a truly authentic player on the Canadian folk scene. His songs chronicle the lives of everyday people. His astute observations and open-hearted style have earned him a loyal following. Francey has never played the Harrison Festival of the Arts but he says he’s looking forward to his concert on the beach at Harrison Lake on Tuesday, July 15. “It’s going to be a good time. We’re all looking forward to it.” They’re performing at the festival as a “nice little trio,” says
Francey, who is arriving with band mates Mark Westberg on guitar and Chris Coole on banjo. He did a major tour with 50 dates in 2014 and then toured again, in the wake of releasing his 10th album last year, So Say We All. “Four of us made the album live off the floor at Signal Path Studios,” he says. “It was almost a cappella with no overdubbing. That was how we always made albums before Pro Tools came along. “It’s the only way to go.” “Rain” is a song about the failure and rebirth of love to the bittersweet hymn “So Say We All.” Capturing the dark times (“Pandora’s Box,” “Ordinary Man”) as well as life’s
shining moments (“Satellite,” “Blue Skies”), the album is a perfect acoustic showcase of what makes Francey’s songwriting so special. Francey draws from his own experiences, delving into his recent depression (“Harm”) and singing about his colorful experiences on the road (“Cheap Motel”). The album released was written after an intense year of personal loss. He said he wrote love songs to help him “crawl out of the very deep hole” he found himself in. “I never expected to suddenly be without someone I love. I never thought he would peg out early.” It threw him for a loop. “The songs on this album seem
to me to encompass what proved a very difficult year. From the heights of joy to the depths of grief, the lesson learned was to celebrate every day spent on this side of the soil and to keep marching no matter what comes our way. So say we all,” said Francey about the album on his website. When you write because you absolutely have to, writing seems to help during troubled times as well. “All my life things always go up and down, but writing seems to get me back on an even keel.” He’s won three Junos and has had songs covered by artists like Del McCoury, The Rankin Family,
James Keelaghan and Tracy Grammer. The carpenter-turned-troubadour is slowing down these days just a tad from his breakneck pace since his first breakout album, Torn Screen Door, in 1999. This summer Francey will travel to six summer music festivals, down from his usual nine outdoor live events per season. Harrison is one of the festivals. “I’m always incredibly busy in the summer.” Francey was born in Ayrshire, Scotland and came to Canada at 12. As an adult he started working various manual labour jobs across Continued: FRANCEY/ p14

Chilliwack is not my hometown, but it feels like it is. I was born in Tisdale, Saskatchewan and spent most of my growing up on a dairy farm. After graduation I moved to Calgary for 15 years, then my husband was transferred to the coast and we made our home in Surrey. I moved out here as a single mom with my three kids almost 12 years ago. We loved Chilliwack immediately and my family has had a very happy life here. So I feel like I’m well qualified to work with new people coming to the area, as well as those who have been here forever, because I believe in this city. I think I’ve found a little piece of paradise and the wisest people know this to be true. Give me a call anytime for your complimentary market evaluation or if you know someone moving to town, pass along my name, because Chilliwack is my hometown now.

The Matheson Team is comprised of four Realtors and one full time assistant. Our focus when marketing your home is presentation, both online and in print. It is important to us that each and every listing is displayed as well as it possibly can. From professional photography to a comprehensive online marketing strategy, your listing will be well represented to all buyers, no matter how they look for it. Having a team of five allows us to give you full service, seven day a week coverage, that an individual Realtor simply cannot provide. Go to www.mathesonrealestate.ca to meet our team and get details on how we can help you buy or sell your next home. We look forward to working with you.
District Real Estate boundaries is $320,503, with Chilliwack proper at $303,302 and in Sardis, $348,779. The average number of days on market continues to fall due to supply and demand – single family homes are on the market an average of 44 days, and townhomes 49 days. While historically, home sales tend to take a dip in the summer due to family vacations and summer activities, we expect to see a strong local market continue. An important part of a Realtor’s job is to educate prospective buyers about the potential benefits and responsibilities of owning versus renting a home. They can help you determine your purchasing power and show you the best homes in your price range. When you fix up a home to suit your needs and taste, you benefit from the added value of the improvements instead of the landlord! Over the long term, investing in a home today instead of renting will allow the home owner to have paid off the mortgage and be living rent-free. With the increased competition, there are some excellent deals out there. It bears repeating – real estate is one of the soundest investments a person will make in his/her lifetime, and the timing has seldom been better!

My goal is to make that happen. The internet has become one of the most useful tools in marketing your home. I have a new interactive website to further enhance the marketing of homes for sale.

Call me today, and I will show you the unique ways I can get your home sold.
Last month proved to be the hottest real estate sales month in seven years! A whopping 286 houses of all varieties sold in Chilliwack and area in June. People buy a home for a lot of different reasons. They may want to put down roots in a community and create a sense of stability in their lives. Then there are the financial considerations and the “forced” savings that builds up in the form of equity. In addition, the monthly cost of owning a house is usually much more stable and predictable than renting. It may seem like “the impossible dream” to first-time buyers who have to stretch in order to purchase their first home. Many buyers can afford the monthly mortgage payments, but they may have difficulty covering the down payment and closing costs. If you are thinking about buying your first home, contact a real estate professional. Your Realtor can explain all the costs and requirements involved as well as direct you to competitive lending institutions. With low mortgage rates still available, this is definitely an excellent time to purchase a home. You should also consider the many housing options available. If you are not sure that you can afford a single-family home, there are beautiful condominiums and townhouses with amenities and prices that are designed to appeal to first-time buyers. The average price of a home within Chilliwack and

CanCon fans treated to rare show The Grapes Of Wrath and The Northern Pikes produced some of the catchiest Canadian music in the ‘80s and ‘90s. Fast forward to a couple of years ago and the guitarists from these bands found themselves drawn to jamming and gigging
together as a duo. Bryan Potvin of The Northern Pikes and Kevin Kane of The Grapes Of Wrath have teamed up to perform their solo material and favourites from both bands. It’s a rare opportunity this month to hear the voices behind

UFV Theatre performs at Harrison Fest
Dentist
The Lions Den
UFV Theatre is contributing several productions to the Harrison Festival of the Arts from its highly successful Directors’ Theatre Festival. Directors’ Fest curator Ian Fenwick says three one-act plays will be featured on the Harrison Memorial Hall stage, on Tuesday, July 15 starting at 8:30 pm. “Each one of the selected shows was a standout at DFEST; seeing them together on the Harrison stage as part of the Festival of the Arts will be a special summer treat for theatre-goers and a great experience for our students.” A few of the UFV DFEST shows appearing at Harrison are: • Mr Bigg and Tall, written by UFV Theatre students Tim Howe and Stephen Wilhite, and directed by Tim Howe. A run down burlesque house in its prime! Don’t know what that looks like? Not a problem! Just throw a few idiots on stage with a gaggle of really attractive women for about an hour, charge admission, and you’ve basically got the idea. • Time Flies, by David Ives, directed by Amanda Thiessen They are born, they meet, they mate, they die. This is the average life of the average mayfly, but May and Horace are anything but ordinary... or so they think. • A New York Minute, by Michael Palermo, directed by Beth Gasser Melissa’s best friend Harry recently became a ghost. The two try to sort out what this means for their friendship and discover a whole new way of living. “It is considered an honour for our Directors’ Festival participants to be asked to Harrision,” notes UFV Theatre department head Bruce Kirkley. “Only a few of the shows get the call to go on the road and be associated with the Harrison Festival.” For tickets contact the Harrison Festival of the Arts: harrisonfestival.com, 604-796-3664, 98 Rockwell Dr., Harrison Hot Springs.

INSIDE THE LIONS DEN
Most of these leaders have these two things in common - the desire to help othes and the conviction “I think I can.” Over the years I have met a number of people who felt they would like to help others but were convinced they didn’t have the ability to handle the tasks necessary to accomplish this. They were wrong!!! ATTITUDE - the Àrst thing you need to do is believe in yourself. If you think you can and believe you can, you will make a difference. Not every Lion needs to become club president or treasurer, or secretary, etc. There is a need in every Lions Club for workers to help in all aspects of the club. ATTITUDE - Although the work of the executive is very important, their positions would be meaningless without the help and support of the rank and Àle. We need you. If you think positively that you can be of service, you surely can. ATTITUDE - It is truly amazing how many people who have gone to the top in the Lions International started with the belief that maybe they could help in some small way. So, think positive, because you can help and your attitude will make a positive difference in the lives of many. And, best of all, you helping others will raise your own level of satisfaction so that soon you will no longer be saying “I think I can,” but rather, “yes, I can.” July starts a new year for Mount Cheam Lions and Lions everywwhere; so what better time to Club News brought to you by: join us. Until next month remember Johns Electronics Ltd. 604-847-9977 “We Serve”.

QUESTION:
My dentist has recommended that I get a crown on my tooth after I had a root canal. Why is this needed? ANSWER: There are many circumstances in which it may be recommended that a tooth receive root canal therapy (commonly called a “root canal”). Some common reasons are trauma, very deep cavities or infections of the tooth or surrounding bone. Once a root canal has been completed on a tooth it becomes more brittle and prone to cracking or breaking over time as it is no longer alive inside. This is similar to a tree branch - while it is attached to a tree it is quite strong and has some flexibility but once it is no longer attached to the tree it becomes weaker and easier to break. Also, the majority of teeth that require a root canal are quite broken down and/or have a significant portion missing. This structure needs to be replaced in a way that will stand up to the demands of chewing over many years. A crown is often recommended to cover teeth that have had root canal therapy. Placing a crown helps to protect the remaining tooth and reduce the chance that it will break in the future. This is particularly important in the case of back teeth as they sustain the majority of the forces of chewing. The decision to crown a tooth involves many clinical factors. Your dentist can review the pros and cons of placing a crown on your tooth given it’s particular condition. SUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS TO:

BCHL releases full season schedule The Chilliwack Chiefs 201415 schedule was released Monday by the BCHL. It’s a balanced slate that’s mostly free of oddities. The team plays 58 regular season games and the most unusual stretch is back-toback-to-back games against the Langley Rivermen Jan. 9, 10 and 15. Chilliwack’s unofficial home opener is Sept. 20 with a BCHL Showcase game against Powell River Kings.
The official home opener is Sept. 27 when they host the Surrey Eagles. The annual Vancouver Island road trip is Nov. 12-16, starting in Coquitlam then heading across the water to Powell River (Nov. 14), Alberni Valley (Nov. 15) and Nanaimo (Nov. 16). They visit Victoria and the Cowichan Valley Capitals Jan. 24-25. If the Chiefs are in the thick of the playoff hunt as the season winds down, they’ll be thank-
ful to play nine of their last 13 games in the friendly confines of Prospera Centre. Each BCHL team plays 28 home dates and 28 games on the road. All teams will have at least seven days off at Christmas with no games scheduled from Dec. 22 to 27. The regular season concludes Feb. 28. Find the full schedule online at bchl.ca or chilliwackchiefs. net.

A historic weekend saw three Chilliwack FC soccer squads win provincial championships. Chilliwack hosted the year-end B Cup tournaments at Townsend Park and Exhibition Stadium, sending six local teams into the fray. The U-13, U-14 and U-15 girls claimed crowns, an unprecedented feat for Chilliwack soccer. In 30 years leading up to this, Chilliwack teams won just one of these championships. The U-15 Attack were making their third straight trip to provincials after placing third in 2013 and fourth in 2012. They opened against the Kootenay South Storm, bombing them 6-0. Meghan Rose and Anna-Maria Vandyk scored two goals apiece with Carly Murray and Jade Victor also finding the net. Rose was named player of the game. Chilliwack’s second game saw them blank the Nelson Selects 4-0 with Rose, Murray, Jessica Morgan and Katherine Toop getting goals. Defender/striker Meghan Simpson was named player of the game. Led by midfielder Alyssia Gaudette, the Attack scored a 3-0 win over the Langley Dynamite — goals from Toop (two) and Rose — landing them in the title game against Kelowna United. Normally a defender, Melissa Frail had played the previous three
games in net in relief of injured stopper Makena Lejeune. But Frail was injured in the first half against Kelowna, forcing Lejeune to reclaim her spot. Kelowna snuck one shot into the Chilliwack net, but Rose equalized. Mur ray came through with a dramatic strike within the final two minutes to give her crew a 2-1 win. Yasmina Enneddam led Chilliwack’s stifling defence, not getting one moment’s rest. She got help from Josie Wootten and Simpson. Sydney Redden was a playmaking presence in the midfield, with Siobhan Finch adding strong two-way play. Hannah Hallier was active in the midfield and defence. Injured striker Kayla Peters was supportive on the bench. Chilliwack’s U-13 Attack started their championship run with an 8-0 win over the RSGA (Richmond) Riot, followed by a 11-0 win over the Prince George Timberwolves. They routed Vernon United 7-1, then capped off the tournament by doubling the North Shore Pegasus 4-2 in the gold medal game. Mimi Devette had a pair of goals against Kelowna, with Katie Lampen and Grace Van den Brink also scoring. Katrina Brown went the distance in goal for the U-13s behind a stingy back line including Calista Ballantine, Kalista Kirkness, Miranda Coombes, Madison Steele, Amber Feaver and Summer Dejager. Devette, Kennedy Galley, Jaiden Andries, Jessica Mansfield, Sydneigh Schofield and Carmen Bonnar steered play from the midfield with Lampen and Van den Brink providing most of the goals up front. The U-14 girls had

A Chilliwack native is included in the latest recruiting class for the Trinity Western University men’s basketball team, one that TWU bench boss Scott Allen calls his best ever. Sardis secondary school standout Eric Rogers will join the Spartans this fall. The sixfoot-four and 195-pound wing player brings a skill set that Allen feels will be a good fit within his system. “Eric had a great high school career and he’s really
working on his game,” Allen said. “He’s a relentlessly hard worker and he’s a great finisher around the rim.” Rogers graduated from Sardis after a Grade 12 season in which he averaged 25 points, 14 rebounds and six assists per game. He was part of the ‘Big Three’ along with Hayden Lejeune and Cam Servatius, both of whom have also committed to post-secondar y schools. Rogers helped his Falcons
to a 34-9 overall record and a fourth place finish at the 4A provincial championship. He was named a first-team allstar at both the provincial and Fraser Valley championships. Rogers played on Basketball BC’s U-16 team in 2012 alongside fellow Spartan recruit Kosia Cauw, and played on a BC Selects teams that took on Findlay Prep this year at the 2013 Tsumura Basketball Invitational. Off the court, he was chosen to attend this year’s Rotary
Youth Leadership Award Camp. “I think TWU is a good school for me both academically and athletically,” said Rogers, who plans to study sciences. “I’m excited to join the team and take my game to the next level.” “This is our best recruiting class ever,” Allen added. “It’s full of diversity and there’s lots of talent coming in. We have some kids with really high GPAs and, overall, it’s just a quality group of people.”

McKay Keith “Bud” Malcolm Keith Malcolm McKay passed away on July 1, 2014 at Heritage Village in Chilliwack, BC, at age 84 years. He was born December 27, 1929 in Brockville, Ontario. He is survived by his loving wife Carol, daughter Karen Welsh (Bill); son Keith (Monique); grandchildren, Tina, Trudy, Shawna, Cory, Alex, Coal, Danan, Cruz, Raven and Gage; great grandchildren, Cole, Dawson, Dylan, Fionn and Logan; sister Dottie Ritt (Bill). He was predeceased by sister Sheila Nordman, father Malcolm McIntyre McKay and mother Edna McKay, all of Brockville, Ontario. One of Bud’s great joys was teaching his grandchildren to skate and enjoying their hockey games. He loved wood carving and it showed in the beautiful pieces we all cherish.

FITZSIMMONS, Judith Anne (nee Winn) MARCH 10, 1945 – JUNE 28, 2014
She is survived by her husband Bob, son Rob and his family Cheryl, Caitlynn and Josh; son Chris and his family Denise, Mason and Jane; her brother Ken and his family Lynne, Michael, Laura and Paul and her sisters , Sue and her family Rick and Sam; Margaret and her family Derek, Andy, Jessie and Antony; Bob’s brother Peter and his family Wanda, Michael, Jen and Madelyn. Judith was predeceased by her parents, Fred and Muriel Winn. Judy was born in Regina, SK and grew up in Vancouver and began her health-oriented career by graduating from VGH Nursing in 1966. She then worked at St. Mary’s hospital. She married Bob in 1967 and continued nursing in Cassiar from 1975-78 where Bob was posted with the RCMP. During that time she also was a Provincial Mining recorder. She was a Mom and a toy maker from 1978-86 when her family lived in Salmon Arm. She continued her career when they moved to Chilliwack as Shop Steward of the HEU and worked as a unit clerk in Emergency (aka. Desk Sheriff). Judy then worked Administration with the Fraser Health Authority but found a better fit after retirement, continuing in health care, as the Manager of the assisted living complex, Logan Manor in Agassiz. While managing the complex she also was instructing at the UFV Continuing Education Department teaching medical terminology courses. Judy was the main instigator and the guiding light for the development of the Chilliwack Sports Hall of Fame opened in 2013. This aligned with her passion for sports being an avid curler, when she lived in the north and interior of BC, Rob and Chris’ first ball coach, a great hockey mom and a devoted fan of all levels of Chilliwack hockey. In March of 2013 she became the proud recipient of the RCMP “Second Man’’ award for her “steadfast and loyal support of the RCMP and its members” while at an isolated post. As a passionate cruiser she was a proud member of the “Duck Crew” and the “Martini Mates” And now there are *Five*. Jude will be missed forever. The understatement of the millennium. A Celebration of Life will be held in honour of Judy on Monday, July 21, 2014 at 1:00 at the Chilliwack Corn Maze Farm, 41905 Yale Rd West. Dress will be Summer Cruise Ship Casual. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Judy can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, Chilliwack Hospice Society or the Chilliwack Sports Hall of Fame.
