A rising Fraser River bursts its banks outside Chilliwack in 2007. The planned Lower Mainland Flood Management Strategy hopes to avoid the patchwork response to a flood threat, like what the Fraser Basin Council said occurred in 2007. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS FILE

Regional push forms on Fraser flood control Jeff Nagel Black Press A broad coalition of local and senior governments and other interests have joined forces to craft a coordinated strategy to safeguard the Lower Mainland from a catastrophic flood. The Lower Mainland Flood Management Strategy aims to pull together an action plan with costs within two years to begin the process of raising dikes and improving other flood defences in the years ahead. It’s unclear how the billions of dollars in needed work will be raised but advocates hope a regional approach will prove more logical than leaving individual municipalities to work in isolation

on flood planning and lobbying for grants. The initiative led by the Fraser Basin Council was announced Tuesday and will focus on the risk of Fraser River flooding and coastal flooding from winter storm surges, which are expected to be amplified by a rising sea level. “We recognized early on the potential to collaborate around issues of flood and river management,” said Chilliwack councillor Jason Lum, who chairs of the Flood Control and River Management Committee of the Lower Mainland Local Government Association. “A major flood event in any of our member communities would have serious impacts on a provincial, even national scale.” Technical work is to begin later

this year to better identify areas of the region that are most vulnerable to flooding. Fraser Basin Council chair Colin Hansen said a priorized strategy of what flood defence works are needed most urgently would guide spending. A blueprint for deliberate, planned upgrades would aim to avoid a repeat of 2007, when the Fraser threatened to flood and politicians frantically dispatched hundreds of dump trucks to raise dikes as an emergency action. “We did not know whether we were putting those dump truck loads in the most important places or not,” Hansen said. “We threw money at the problem on an urgent basis. We need to make sure taxpayers’ dollars

are spent effectively, targeting the highest risk areas first and dealing with the secondary concerns as we go forward.” Part of the case for a regionally agreed strategy is because flood water pushed back in one area will flow to another. Just building higher dikes in the Fraser Valley could simply direct more water at Richmond, Hansen said. Dikes are sometimes maintained by different municipalities on either side of a river – such as the Pitt River between Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam. If just one side is built higher to new standards, the other side would flood first in high water. Continued: FLOOD/ p4

Tubing down the ChilliwackVedder river may seem like a good idea on a blazing hot day. But many are unaware of the dangers. The riverbanks are littered with flimsy floatation devices and destroyed dinghies, left behind by those who took the power of the river for granted. Natisha Dunn, 23, of Surrey is so thankful just to be alive. She owes it all to her brave Chilliwack rescuers. “One more minute and I would have let go,” she said. “My arms were shaking so bad.” She’d started saying her prayers while clinging to a log. Then she looked up and saw her two rescuers scrambling toward her. Two Chilliwack men jumped off their tubes and over to the logjam to reach her. “There really are good people out there,” Dunn said. “My dad died when I was four, and my son, Dante, is four now. I’m just so glad my son doesn’t have to live without me, and I’m here because of them.” Dunn said she had never tubed down the Vedder River before last Sunday. She and her boyfriend, Carlos, had been floating downriver, trying to stay connected with a rope between the two dinghies. When they saw the log pile, they tried to paddle away from the branches protruding out of the water. But the raging current was too strong and it dragged them right into the middle of a large logjam. “There was nothing we could do,” she recounted. Now Dunn says she’s so glad to be alive after her inflatable dinghy was punctured from the pressure of the rope, which left her clinging for dear life.

Racing community reacts to Chilliwack suspicious death Vikki Hopes Black Press The victim of a suspicious death in Chilliwack has strong ties to Abbotsford and the local motor sport community. Harjit (Stefan) Kondolay, 31, was identified Saturday by police as the man found dead early Thursday morning in a home in the 46700 block of First Avenue, between Coote and Windsor streets. Kondolay’s family owns Diesel Transmission Technology (DTT) in Abbotsford. An online post indicates he was a 2000 graduate of

W. J. Mouat Secondary, where he was involved on the Mouat Racing Team. Kondolay was the son of Bill and Shanti Kondolay of Abbotsford. He was also well known in the drag-racing world, and was a fivetime division champion in the Super Comp and Super Gas categories, according to online posts. He had been slated to race this weekend in the northwest division of the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series in Woodburn, Oregon. The racing community is mourning Kondolay’s death in online posts. On the “Dodge Cummins

Diesel Forum,” a post from DTT Sales and Tech announces the death of “our beloved son Stefan Kondolay.” “We wish whomever is responsible for this cowardly act burns eternally in hell or that we find whomever did it and send him there ourselves. Our lives are forever changed, his dad and I are broken without him,” the post reads. In another post, on the Speed Zone Magazine website, Kondolay was described as “arguably the best bracket racer on the West Coast and for sure the most decorated racer to come from the prov-

low racers are posting online that he was shot. Police were called to his home at about 4 a.m. Thursday. Neighbours reported hearing a woman yelling before police arrived. The death was soon deemed suspicious, and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) was called in. Police have said that Kondolay was not known to them. They are asking for anyone with information to call the IHIT tipline at 1-877-551-4448, email ihittipline@rcmp-grc.gc.ca, or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

ince of B.C.” The website indicates it will compile a tribute page for Kondolay and will design memorial decals. “You will not be forgotten, Stefan, as many local races strive to accomplish even half of what you did on the track,” the post reads. A YouTube video – “Stefan Kondolay Memorial” – pays tribute to the racer, showing numerous clips of him in action on the track. Police are continuing their investigation into Kondolay’s death, although some of his fel-

Chilliwack RCMP are reminding people that alcohol and water do not mix after a man drowned in Cultus Lake Monday evening. The incident occurred around 6:35 p.m. at Entrance Bay when friends of the man reported him missing. He was last seen at the waterline, police say. When RCMP arrived – including a member of the Lower Mainland District Integrated Police Dog Service (IPDS) – they began a search of the area. The dog handler waded into the water and soon located the man’s body. “This is a very tragic incident,” said Cosnt. Tracy Wolbeck. “Although there will be no criminal investigation regarding this incident, police believe alcohol to be a strong contributing factor in this drowning.” Police want to remind everyone of the dangers of alcohol consumption and swimming. The investigation has been turned over the BC Coroner Service. No other information is available at this time.

B.C. is on the verge of “unprecedented” opportunities and jobs if it can just step up to meet the growing demand for a highly skilled work force. That kind of technical and trades training is going to be in high demand and institutions like University of the Fraser Valley will play a critical role, said Shirley Bond, B.C. minister for Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training. She was touring UFV and talking about the new Skills for Jobs Blueprint the province rolled out a couple of months ago. The need for skilled workers “is not just an issue for B.C.” but holds true across the country. So there are plans to target $6 million in funding to reduce wait lists for trades training. “For institutions like yours it will mean targeted funding, lined up with jobs we know will exist.” By 2016-17, 25 per cent of funding will go to the “highest demand obligations.” “We have to think differently and have to think innovatively.” It means starting early to talk about trades and tech options. “Parity of esteem” is the latest catchphrase when it

reports released by the province last week that project major floods will be more frequent and severe as a result of climate change, and warned most dikes in the Fraser Valley are not high enough. “It makes this much more real,” said Fraser Basin Council executive director David Marshall. He said a major flood could cut off the rest of Canada from Asia-Pacific trade and sterilize the fertile farmland soil of the Fraser delta with salt water. “Like New Orleans, it could take years or even decades to fully recover,” Marshall said. “It’s always been the path that someone else will look after it. Well, those days are done.” Hansen noted nobody knows how

much time the region has to bolster its defences. He pointed to a flood like the devastating one of 1894, thought to have been a one-in-200-year flood that new studies now project may come once every 50 years. “We don’t know whether that’s next year or 49 years from now.” Some Fraser Valley politicians fear the strategy may focus too heavily on raising dikes and not enough on the use of dredging of the Fraser to deal with the steady deposition of gravel that creates less room for water in the channel over time. “Dredging seems to be a dirty word as far as the Fraser Basin Council is concerned,” said District of Kent Coun. Lorne Fisher.

Valley dikes too low to withstand major flood

“Everything that is done has consequences somewhere else,” Hansen said. “That’s why this has to be an integrated plan.” Federal and provincial ministers pledged support, noting a Fraser flood has the potential to be the worst natural disaster in Canadian history, with 300,000 residents and $50 billion in development at risk on the river’s floodplain. Also backing the plan was Sto:lo Grand Chief Doug Kelly, who said aboriginal communities’ pleas for help during floods in 1989 and 1990 were mired in “jurisdictional warfare” between the provincial and federal governments.

Most Fraser River dikes upstream of Langley should be built higher to withstand the potential for more severe floods that are now expected more often. That’s the finding of a new report released by the province that recalculated the appropriate height of 15 dikes from Mission to Hope based on the latest changes to the river’s channel, which constantly shifts due to sedimentation, erosion, the effect of bridges and other factors. “Most of the dikes were found to have inadequate free-

board and are at high risk of over topping during a design flood event,” the report said, noting only the Matsqui B dike met the latest requirements. The analysis didn’t look at City of Chilliwack dikes, which were the subject of a 2013 update. Many of the Fraser Valley dikes were first built in the 1970s and 1980s to design standards that have since been revised using new data from the 2012 freshet. A second provincial study projects large floods on the lower Fraser River will be worse and strike more frequently as a result of sea level rise and climate change.

By the end of this century, the report said, a 50-year flood could be similar in magnitude to floods that have occurred only every 200 to 500 years previously. A moderate climate change scenario would mean a flood on the Fraser similar to the devastating 1948 flood could then be expected every 50 years, instead of every couple of centuries. If climate change is intense, the report indicated, the 50-year flood could instead be worse than the more severe flood of 1894 and close to what would until now have been considered the 1,000-year flood. The underlying climate

change projections “are subject to large and unquantifiable uncertainty,” the report said. The analysis was conducted by the forests ministry’s flood safety section and Northwest Hydraulic Consultants. It also outlined three scenarios for an extreme flood of the lower Fraser. The first is widespread Interior rainfall on snow in the watershed north of Hope – the scenario that caused the record flood of 1948 that inundated low areas of the Fraser Valley. Another threat is the potential for a landslide to temporarily block the river or one Continued: CLIMATE/ p12

Record heat in Chilliwack Sunday was the hottest day in four years in Chilliwack, and the hottest July 13 on record, says Roger Pannett, volunteer weather observer with Environment Canada. The daytime temperature soared to 34.5 degrees on Sunday, topping the 33.9 degrees set on the same date in 1961. It was also the warmest day of the year, beating the 34.3 degrees of record-breaking heat on Canada Day. Still, it wasn’t the hottest day on record. That honour still belongs to July 29, 2009 when temperatures crested at 38.2 degrees on the second day of a record breaking three-day heat wave. But Chilliwack did set a record for the hottest night. Temperatures early Monday morning only fell to 19.8 degrees, marking the highest minimum temperature since the 19.4 degrees set in 1881. Weather conditions also prompted an air quality advisory for eastern parts of Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, including Chilliwack. Metro Vancouver officials said the advisory was issued because of high concentrations of groundlevel ozone that are expected to persist for a few days. Residents in affected areas are urged to avoid strenuous outdoor activities in mid-afternoon, when ozone levels are highest. Exposure is particularly a concern for infants, the elderly and those with underlying medical conditions, such as lung or heart disease and asthma. The warm weather is expected to continue until at least Thursday, when cooler temperatures and a chance of showers are expected to arrive.

Clinging to life on a logjam in the Vedder River didn’t think much of it at the time.” He’d been tubing down the river under the train bridge with friends, Lorne Muth and Kristina McIntyre,

when he spotted Dunn, who was in a lot of distress. “We saw the log jam and were staying away from it. But someone was flagging us down to come over.” They were floating down the river on large, sturdy inner tubes, as they so often did. “We pulled over to the shore and jumped onto the logs where she was stuck.” They made their way over. The young mom was clinging to the log, almost slipping under. “She told us she couldn’t hold on much longer.” They grabbed her and crawled to safety over the logs. They managed to flag down a small metal speed boat that was coming up the river at that moment. Dunn and her sister Ashley were ferried to safety on the other side of the river, and the Chilliwack tubers just got back into the river and continued downriver. “Everyone was in shock,” said Dunn, as they returned to shore. “My sister’s friend says to me ‘Seriously, you cheated death.” Dunn figures she may never step foot in a river again after her scary ordeal. “People don’t know how dangerous the river is. I didn’t realize,” she said. Dunn just had to find out who it was that came to her rescue, and she put her story on a local Facebook page, in an effort to track them down. She thanked Kegan and Lorne, but is still looking for the three people in the boat, who also were a part of the river rescue. Natisha Dunn’s mom, Kathy Dunn, also wants to thank the river rescuers with a barbecue. “They deserve to be recognized. They risked their own lives to save Natisha,” she said. The family is contacting Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz’ office to see if the pair from Chilliwack, can be recognized for their bravery at city hall. “I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart,” she says. “To me they’re heroes.”

Leap of Faith included 90-year-old Event raises funds for Cyrus Centre Among the people who took a “leap of faith” on Thursday night to raise funds for Cyrus Centre in Abbotsford and Chilliwack was 90-yearold Henry Martens. Martens, who was skydiving for the first time, said he was excited about the venture. “I always told my kids that when I’m 90 years old, I’m going to jump out of a plane,” he said. Mar tens said he was there to support Cyrus Centre for atrisk youth because it changes lives. After the jump, he said hadn’t been scared. “(This is) not as scary as crawling into a bear’s den.” Cyrus Centre’s fifth annual Leap of Faith skydiving event on Thursday evening raised about $20,000 for its locations in Abbotsford and Chilliwack.

Give water its respect

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

Two incidents offer stark reminders of the danger posed by Chilliwack’s waterways. One ended well on Sunday, the other ended tragically Monday evening. Both reflect circumstances that are all too common each summer. The Vedder River is an inviting place. But its beauty hides its danger. Every year members of Chilliwack Search and Rescue remind recreational enthusiasts to treat the river with respect. The currents are unpredictable, the gravel bars treacherous, and the snags and underwater obstacles lie in wait. And yet every year there are those who test its power. They venture into the water unprepared and under-appreciative of the danger the water holds. They won’t wear life vests, and use equipment better suited to a backyard pool. The consequences are predictable – as a young mom found out on Sunday. (See story, front page.) She was fortunate. Others on the river came to her rescue and pulled her off the “strainers” before she could be swept further down stream. Another incident Friday evening brought out member’s of Chilliwack’s Search and Rescue, who pulled two people off a gravel bar near Peach Road after a tree root punched a whole in their inner tube. But even the placid waters of Cultus Lake pose a risk. On Monday, an evening swim ended tragically after a man drowned at Entrance Bay. Chilliwack RCMP are blaming alcohol for the death and are reminding people that alcohol and water are a lethal combination. It’s a warning they make every year, but one that’s too often ignored. Ironically, the death comes just as National Drowning Prevention Week is set to begin. The event, sponsored by the Royal Life Saving Society, aims to raise awareness about the dangers of the water and the need for caution. A lake or river can be cool and refreshing, particularly when temperatures begin to soar like they have during the past few days. But the water also demands respect. Failing to provide that respect will only bring heartbreak. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

B.C. V IEWS

Letting drivers set their own speed limits VICTORIA – “Fast is the new slow,” declared one Toronto newspaper’s front page when the B.C. government announced it is increasing speed limits around the province. The headline picked up on Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s justification for raising limits on 35 stretches of rural B.C. highway. Stone referred to traffic studies that show portions of the highway system where the vast majority of drivers already travel at the new speeds. Stone emphasized that accident risk is not so much a function of speed, but of differences in speed between vehicles. That’s why the signs going up this summer will include a new warning for left lane hogs: “Keep Right – Let Others Pass.” For the first time, there is a 120 km/h limit on three segments of rural divided highway, parts

of the Coquihalla, the Okanagan Connector and a stretch between Parksville and Campbell River on Vancouver Island. Having regularly driven up and down the B.C. Interior highway system for the past 30 years, I can confirm that particularly once you get “beyond Hope,” Tom drivers do set the FLETCHER speed limit. In good conditions, it’s generally about 10 km over the posted maximum, particularly in the long spaces between communities where resources to do regular speed enforcement simply don’t exist. Improvements in the road system, and the modern vehicles that drive it, have been enormous. My last trip was in June, up the

Fraser Canyon and on through the Cariboo to Prince George. The canyon offers some of the harshest road-building conditions in Canada, but even portions of that cliff-hanging, rock-and-tunnel road are getting increases from 90 to 100 km/h. There are two common assumptions about this move. One is that increasing the speed limit means people will automatically drive faster. The other is that higher speeds mean more accidents, or at least more severe accidents. The government downplayed opposition to this change, which Stone signalled last fall when he launched the public consultation. Police agencies don’t like it. ICBC officials are skeptical to say the least. ICBC’s latest rate increase was attributed mostly to cost pressure from higher injury payouts, and it will be tracking the sections of higher speed limit

Progress

to see if the number of severe accidents goes up. Speed wasn’t singled out when interim ICBC boss Mark Blucher made the case for an increase of nearly five per cent on basic insurance last fall. One reason why claims for bodily injury, pain and suffering, future care and loss of earnings are going up is that more people are hiring lawyers. Another reason is distraction, not just from mobile devices but also more pedestrians and cyclists in urban areas. Are drivers getting worse? A recent report out of Saskatchewan suggests they are. In 2013, only 48 per cent of new drivers in Saskatchewan passed their road test. The test hasn’t changed much in the past decade, and there are more immigrants who aren’t accustomed to highway driving, North America style.

But a veteran driving instructor calls today’s new drivers “the weakest generation I’ve ever taught,” after they spent their formative passenger years watching TV or playing with game machines and other screens while on the road. “The awareness level isn’t where it was when I started 15 years ago,” Margot Podiluk told the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix. “Today’s generation, they’re so connected to electronic devices they don’t look out of car windows.” If raising speed limits is a mistake, accident statistics will soon tell the tale. My expectation is that on rural highways, speed limits are just catching up to the traffic. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Young parents credited for courage Regarding comments like those of Nelly Goudzwaard (Beautiful little babies make her sad, Progress letters, July 11) and others criticizing the concept of people like Justin and Brett becoming co-parents, I have only three things to say: get off your high horse, judge not lest ye be judged, and mind your own business. It is your choice to adhere to conservative religious viewpoints, but it is not the choice of

everyone, and doesn’t have to be. About 10 per cent of the human race is born left-handed; these people were persecuted throughout history for completely illogical religious reasons. The same goes for the approximately 10 per cent of the human race born with sexual orientations at odds with the majority. Jesus of Nazareth taught that we should love all others as ourselves and that we are all God’s children.

I admire the decision of Justin and Brett to create, with help, a loving family of four. There is no evidence to predict that their children will grow up as other than healthy, young adults, or that their sexual orientation will turn out to be other than that naturally determined by their heredity. Kudos to these courageous young men and to those who helped them realize their dream. Robert Blacklock

Love is what really matters As soon as I saw the article about the two young men adopting the babies, I started waiting for the “holier than thou” people to come out of the woodwork, and they haven’t disappointed me. One quotes the Bible, out of context of course, to criticize them for what they’re doing. One predicts disastrous results when the children grow up. Not

a single word of congratulations, not a single sign of understanding and acceptance. It is even suggested that they could change their sexuality if they really tried. Really? How? I don’t suppose it has occurred to these critics that these two young men sincerely love each other and sincerely want to raise a family together. Gosh, what an unusual concept. Loving

each other and wanting to raise a family sounds pretty admirable to me. Hopefully, their love will last and they will stay together, unlike the over 40 per cent of heterosexual marriages which end up in divorce and, often, tragedy. To the “holy ones”, don’t be too quick to judge other people. Jesus taught us to love each other, didn’t he? Didn’t he teach compas-

Teacher should maintain pickets I have to wholeheartedly agree with the guest editorial from the Burnaby NewsLeader titled “Summer strike” (Progress, July 11). The BCTF and the teachers are certainly not doing themselves any favours by failing to keep up the picketing during the summer months. By doing so would only reinforce to the public that they are indeed committed and their byline “For the Children” was

foremost in their mind. Perhaps commitment to the cause and “For the Children” only applies until it starts to conflict with their own schedules and agendas. The government is winning this battle hands down in regards to public perception about the commitment of the BCTF. B. Murphy Chilliwack

Airport noise not a problem In reply to Don Ross and others who object to the noise at the airport. We live within a few blocks of the airport and rather enjoy the show and do not mind the noise. We had people over for coffee and they enjoyed the show

and took pictures. We lost the gliders a few years ago. Nobody will want to come to Chilliwack to set up business if all we do is complain and have a negative attitude. A. Schellenberg

sion and acceptance? That’s what they teach where I go and I believe the majority of folks who have read these letters will agree with me. Acceptance means you accept other people as they are, not as you think they should be. Think about it. Love is all that matters, in the end.

Rotary trail system a jewel to be prized This is a must letter of gratitude to the Chilliwack Rotarians. Recently, July 9, 2014, when I was relaxing on Dwayne Snyder’s Bench, marked 1960-2003. What a legacy, Dwayne. I thought, as I rested, listened to the rush of Vedder River, saw bald headed eagles competing decibels with the gulls and crows, and of course the legacy of the Chilliwack Rotarians for the beautifully kept trails for cyclers and strollers. Yesterday I had yet again a similar experience as I cycled the Hope River Rotary Trail, a quiet river, many well spaced benches and beautifully well kept lawns. Surely the Rotarians have made Chilliwack a destination for many out-of-towners. I am sure that many readers will say amen to this expression of gratitude to the Chilliwack Rotarians as they often do on the trail. George H. Epp Chilliwack

BBQ competition served up alongside public safety presents 10 ANNUAL Presents 10TH ANNUAL

Jennifer Feinberg Attendees will get public safety tips and the chance to sample some tasty barbecue at the same time. The last of three Public Safety Workshops is set for Wednesday, July 30 at Yarrow Community Centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This one is going to be a lot of fun because we are having a barbecue competition in conjunction with the workshop, in order to showcase some of Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fresh agricultural products,â&#x20AC;? said Sabine Mendez, Chilliwack Healthier Community coordinator. Workshop presenters cover everything from securing doors and windows, to improving lighting, fencing or landscaping. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll talk about the importance of knowing your neighbours, as well as surveillance options, and alarms. Personal safety ideas could explain how to prevent assault, identity theft, and to cover when to call 9-1-1. The idea is to help people protect themselves, by better securing their homes, and their own personal safety. Everyone is welcome to attend. Organizers are also seeking barbecue teams to arrive at 5 p.m. with everything they need to cook up barbecue samples for the participants to be served by 8 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The barbecue competition is open to anyone who wants to put together a team and compete,â&#x20AC;? said Mendez. After everyone has had a taste, workshop attendees will vote for their favourite by filling out a ballot. The public safety workshops being presented to the community are in direct response to a Chilliwack Healthier Community forum, where someone raised their hand and asked where they could go to learn more about public safety. The workshops are presented by Chilliwack Healthier Community, RCMP, Chilliwack Crime Prevention Services and City of Chilliwack. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Cinderella story unfolds

Grizzlies surprise southern squads

GW Graham’s Varsity Football team took its third annual team trip to Oregon last weekend. The camp at Rilea Army Base, south of Astoria, OR, welcomes 18 teams from BC,

Washington State and Oregon for five days of controlled scrimmages, a seven-on-seven passing tournament and joint practice sessions. The Grizzlies went undefeated (7-0) in the tournament and won the championship game by a score of 34-25 over Tacoma’s Liberty High School. “We were seeded 15th out of 18 teams and won the entire tournament, so it’s fair to say we surprised a few

teams along the way,” said GWG head coach Laurie Smith about the small but spirited group that represented GW Graham. “We have a very capable passing attack with QBs Terrell Sparvier and Ryan Connelly, and a deep group of receivers that includes Emerson Smith, Baker Douglas, Kirk Kennedy, Trey Walsh and Tyler Sprott.” Standout wide receiver Walsh was named

the tournament’s most valuable player. The linemen also participate in offensive and defensive line competitions, with Diego Pineda taking runnerup honours in both categories. “We have a special group this year and it became apparent with the way they competed against very good competition,” Smith said. “I’m expecting a very competitive varsity group.”

Chilliwack Sports Hall of Fame loses president The Chilliwack Sports Hall of Fame lost a very dear friend two weeks ago. Judy Fitzsimmons was the driving force behind the birth of the CSHOF, gathering the organizing committee together nearly eight years ago.

Wing Special!

A defensive gem by Danaye Reinhardt kept Langford’s bats in check. In the fifth inning, a base hit by Mercedes Schneider followed by a Guthrie home run gave Chilliwack a 7-4 lead. Langford threatened to take it all away in their last at-bat. The Lighting loaded the bases with two outs, then lifted a deep fly ball into center field. Two Stealers converged on it. Atkins and Johansen smacked into each other, toppled to the ground, and a hush fell over the crowd. The silence was broken by the sound of giggling as Atkins stood up with the ball in her glove. “Got it!” she yelled as her team stormed the field. An 11-6 win over the New Westminster Royals in their next game guaranteed Chilliwack a top-three finish. They finished with back-to-back losses to Ridge Meadows (9-1) and the Port Alberni (11-4). See chilliwackminorfastpitch.com

BC battles at Red River Cup Six local football players traveled to Manitoba last week to play in the 2014 Red River Cup, a tournament featuring top U-16 talent in Western Canada and Nova Scotia. Jaren and Michael Lengert, offensive linemen on the GW Graham high school squad, played for Team BC Orange. In round-robin play they lost to North Saskatchewan (256), South Saskatchewan (29-0) and Manitoba Gold (12-7). But they finished strong with a 34-0 demolition of Nova Scotia. Chilliwack Giant Gabe Olivares suited up as a quarterback for Team BC Blue, joined by CMFA/GWG standout Ethan Mastin (defensive back) and

Chilliwack’s U-16 fastpitch Stealers earned bronze in dramatic fashion at last weekend’s provincial tournament in Port Alberni. The Stealers sailed into the tournament with momentum, fresh off a championship win at the district level. They faced four teams in the round-robin, starting with the Ridge Meadows Thunder. Chilliwack’s momentum disappeared in a hurry with a 10-1 loss, but they bounced back nicely, trouncing South Surrey/White Rock’s Chicks with Bats in their second game. Ashley Guthrie and Amanda Marshall smacked home runs. At one point, pitcher Jamiee Fournier struck out nine straight batters in a 10-1 win. But, despite a home run by Danika

Rahnborn, a game three loss to the Port Alberni Blazers left them hanging by a thread heading into their final round-robin match. With the top eight in the field of 16 teams making the playoffs, Chilliwack needed to beat the Parksville Rage by a lot to have any hopes of advancing. The Stealers scored four in the first and 10 at the end, walking away with a 16-1 win. That was enough to get them into the knockout round as the seventh seed. The Stealers faced the unbeaten Langford Lightning in the playoff opener. Chilliwack took an early 3-0 lead, with Mackenzie Johnson laying down a perfect bunt and Tricia Jensen, Brooke Cote and Maddison Atkins following with base hits. Langford tied the game in the third, but the Stealers regained their lead in the fourth. Marshall, Fournier, Johansen, Kiana Kelly, Taylor McDonald and Caitlyn Fedrau reached base as the Stealers plated two runs.

Clapp bounces back at Players Cup tournament Chilliwack’s Brad Clapp took a positive step forward in his latest PGA Tour Canada outing.

After missing the cut in his last two events, the Chilliwack Golf and Country Club instructor found his way into

ment winner, American Timothy Madigan. Clapp started with an one-over-par 72 in the opening round, including an eagle on the 12th hole and a birdie on the fourth. He did the same in round two, balancing

the top 50 at the Players Cup tournament, held Thursday through Sunday at the Pine Ridge Golf Course in Winnipeg, MB. Clapp tied for 46th overall with a four-round score of 289, 14 strokes behind the tourna-

did not continue. The third round was Clapp’s best as he fired a two-under-par 69 that included four birdies. But the fourth and final round was his worst. Clapp bogeyed eight of the 18 holes, struggling to a five-over-
