The B.C. government has launched a new website to prepare parents for a possible continuation of the teacher strike after Labour Day. The website, bcparentinfo. ca, promises the latest bargaining updates on B.C.’s festering teacher dispute, and will act as a portal for parents registering to collect $40 a day for each child under 12 if the strike drags on. It also offers links to online

learning resources from school districts, which have proliferated in recent years. Talks have continued under a media blackout since mediator Vince Ready met the two sides last week. “Mr. Ready agreed to monitor the situation, and to resume exploratory talks or commence full mediation when he believes it will be productive,” the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and B.C. Public School Employers’ Association said in a brief statement.

SERIOUS PROTECTION DON’T BE FOOLED BY BRAND-”X”

Negotiations broke off and a full-scale strike and lockout ended the school year in June. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Kelleher met both sides earlier but declined to attempt mediation, after finding too large a gap between the two sides. Education Minister Peter Fassbender and BCPSEA chief negotiator Peter Cameron have maintained that the BCTF’s benefit demands remain far beyond those of other public

sector unions that have settled contracts. Also at issue is class size and special needs support, with BCPSEA’s latest offer rejected by the union and the latest of a series of court actions scheduled for this fall. Ready’s last involvement in the long-running series of teacher disputes was as an industrial inquiry commissioner in 2007. At that time he recommended that a senior provincial official be involved in talks along with an independent mediator.

Sockeye season is in full swing. So it was seen as perfect timing Saturday for a Harmony on the River event at Island 22, organized by the Fraser River Peacemakers. It was a chance to underline the importance of wearing PFDs, and ways to avoid in-river conflicts. They talked about catch monitoring and strategies to reduce crowding in the hotspots. Peacemaker co-chairs Ernie Crey and Rod Clapton were among those greeting fishermen and the public for several hours by the river near Chilliwack over the weekend. “The traffic has been steady,” said Clapton, president of the B.C. Federation of Drift Fishers. Fishermen were showing up in droves at Island 22 Regional Park Saturday to bag the recreational limit of two sockeye per day on that part of the river. Pickup trucks were coming and going all day long, with boat trailers in tow, from the boat launch. Promoting peace and safety on the Fraser is paramount — especially during sockeye season, said Peacemakers co-chair Ernie Crey, also a Cheam band councillor. “Both fisheries are growing, and sharing the same waters and fishing

Cultus official resigns to focus on fall election Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A Cultus Lake Park Board commissioner says he was “compelled” to step down just a few short months before the next election. Bob McCrea suddenly resigned from the Cultus Lake Park Board this week. The former board chair said he’ll now be devoting his energy to getting new people elected in upcoming elections, when the new configuration takes effect.

Come the November election, for the first time, there will be three park board commissioners elected by Cultus Lake residents and leaseholders, and two by Chilliwack residents. The new, streamlined board of five, was reduced in size from seven by the B.C. government, with the help of Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness. It went from a historic configuration of five voted from Chilliwack, and two from Cultus to the new board composition. “It’s a huge step forward for

the residents of Cultus Lake,” Bob McCrea told The Progress. During his term on the board he worked closely with a group of local residents who turned out to be instrumental in getting the Cultus Lake Park Act amended, whereby the majority of the board will now be elected by the residents of Cultus Lake. “The board was asked to facilitate this change to the Cultus Lake Park Act but four commissioners refused to support it, so the changes were initiated without their

tial customer base. “My desire is, and always has been, to serve and benefit this community by offering the experience that I have gained over my lengthy business career,” McCrea stated in his letter published in a lake newsletter. McCrea was elected to the park board in 2011 on a platform to restore “old-fashioned service and respect” for park stakeholders, as well as improving park issues, transparency and accountability.

knowledge,” he wrote in his resignation letter. “This positive change gives Cultus Lake residents the ability to choose good leadership from within their own community. “I believe I can now serve the public better by spending the next three months free of the constraints of the board, working to ensure the best candidates get elected.” He was frustrated when some park board members and senior staff showed what he says was “blatant disregard” for their essen-

Province orders inspections of mine dams across B.C. Tom Fletcher Black Press Independent engineering inspections have been ordered for Mount Polley mine near Williams Lake and nearly 100 other mine tailings ponds with permits across the province, with reports to be complete by the end of January. Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett announced the dual reviews Monday. The Mount Polley investigation is to be complete by Jan. 31 and will be done concurrently with the B.C. government’s legally required probes by B.C.’s chief inspector of mines and the environment ministry, which looks at the longer-term effects of the Aug. 4 tailings spill. Bennett said costs will be covered by Imperial Metals for Mount Polley and by all operators of mines with permits to operate nearly 100 tailings facilities in B.C. Firefighters from Hall No. 6 in Greendale were still on scene Monday morning when a backhoe was brought in following a barn fire on Sumas Prairie Road. The blaze broke out around 1 a.m. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

One night, two major fires, none hurt Chilliwack firefighters were busy Monday morning, battling a pair of blazes. Firefighters from three halls were called out just after midnight to a barn fire in the 5900 block of Sumas Prairie Road. They arrived to find several connected barns on fire, with flames reaching out to damage an adjacent house. The barns, which were being used to shelter a legal grow operation, couldn’t be saved. The house had some damage to

the exterior siding and there were no injuries. The fire is considered to be accidental, possibly related to the grow operation. Just after 3 a.m., a security guard at the Legacy Pacific site saw sparks and smoke coming from a building in the 44000 block of Simpson Road. Firefighters from four halls faced a tall task when they arrived. A cover-all structure with agricultural products inside was ablaze, along with an adjacent agricultural manufacturing build-

ing. The cover-all structure and everything inside was completely destroyed. Firefighters extinguished the fire in time to save the adjacent building, save for minor fire and smoke damage. There were no injuries. The cause of the fire is considered accidental and is related to the spontaneous combustion of the stored agricultural products.

News ICBC to send $38m in overcharge refunds Black Press ICBC is preparing to mail out 309,000 refund cheques ranging from $1 to $350 to optional auto insurance customers it overcharged since 2008. Wrong rates were used because of incorrect descriptions assigned years ago to many vehicles that are only now being fixed. The average customer who overpaid all six years will get

a refund of around $108, ICBC spokesman Adam Grossman said. The cheques will begin to go out around Aug. 20. The average overpayment was $18 per year. The refunds plus interest being paid total nearly $38 million. Nearly 370,000 other motorists were undercharged because of the glitches. ICBC won’t go after them for the $53 million in lost revenue. The faulty vehicle descriptions affected only optional insurance,

Mine dam review MINE from page 3 “Certainly in the last 40 years there’s no evidence of a tailings dam breach in British Columbia, but rare or not, it happened, and so the public’s confidence I think is shaken” Bennett said at a news conference in Vancouver. “That’s why we need to get these three experts involved as quickly as we’re getting them involved.” The Mount Polley panel includes UBC mine engineering professor Dirk Van Zyl, U.S. consulting engineer Steven Vick, whose earlier investigations included the 2005

New Orleans levee breach that followed Hurricane Katrina, and Norbert Morgenstern, an Alberta civil engineering professor who has worked on 140 mine projects. Bennett said the panel was chosen with approval of the Williams Lake and Soda Creek Indian Bands, and their report will be made available to the band councils at the same time as government.

not basic rates. The refunds were calculated as part of two independent external reviews that checked millions of insurance transactions over the past six years. Auditors who examined ICBC’s handling of the issue concluded ICBC knew the problem was systemic as early as 2009 but management hid it from ICBC’s board of directors until mid-2013. Various fixes were contemplated but discarded, according to the auditors’ report.

A lot has happened since Marc Emery went to jail in the United States four years ago. Not the least of which the state in which the Vancouver pot activist was sentenced to five years in federal prison for dealing marijuana seeds has now legalized the sale of cannabis. While Emery cooled his heels behind bars in Folkston, Ga., and Yazoo City, Miss., Colorado and then Washington became the first states to allow the possession, use, production, distribution and personal cultivation of marijuana. Some states have legalized its use for medical reasons. Another 15 states have decriminalized pot while other states have lowered penalties for possession of small amounts to a misdemeanour. The tide to accept marijuana for recreational use on par with alcohol, complete with all the tax revenues their sale generates for governments, seems to be turning. In Canada, possession of marijuana in any quantity remains illegal. Although enforcement varies from province to province, even between municipalities. Vancouver police were unperturbed by the marijuana smoke that greeted Emery’s triumphant return to his hometown on Sunday. Emery’s incarceration in the U.S. wasn’t his first brush with the law. Nor with irony. When he operated a book shop in London, Ont., in the 1980s, he was charged with defying that province’s laws against stores operating on Sundays. Since 1992 stores in Ontario can open on Sundays. In 1991 he was convicted of selling copies of rap CDs that had been deemed obscene and were banned in Ontario. As Nasty As They Wanna Be by 2 Live Crew can now be easily downloaded on iTunes. It seems once again Emery is on the leading edge of a societal shift. ~ Black Press

What we know about the Mt. Polley mine spill VICTORIA – Today I’ll attempt to cut through the speculation and fear-mongering that have swirled around the Mount Polley mine dam breach and tell you what’s really known. As Black Press and our local publication the Williams Lake Tribune reported before and after the incident, the mine reopened in 2005 after a four-year shutdown and was expanding its operation, including the tailings pond. Rising metal prices helped put 380 unionized employees plus management back to work. Most are now working on rebuilding the tailings dam and cleaning up the spill site. Imperial Metals applied earlier this summer for an increase in water discharge, and was waiting for B.C. government approval at the time of the Aug. 4 dam breach. This was to be the second amend-

ment to a water release permit issued when the mine started up in 1997. It has had a surplus of water due to rain and snow accumulation since it opened (under an NDP government, for those who want to turn everything into a political corruption story). The reason water release has Tom been allowed is FLETCHER that in the absence of acid-producing rock, metal contamination of water is minimized. Imperial Metals’ routine tests with rainbow trout in undiluted tailings pond water have now been confirmed by environment ministry results, and water and fish from all but the immediate spill area have been cleared for

human consumption. For an example of acid mine drainage, look up the Britannia Mine Museum, now a reclaimed national historic site with a water treatment plant built to function for hundreds of years. Before that, acid-produced toxic metal pollution drained from the abandoned mine into Howe Sound for decades. Early tests at Mount Polley indicate that this sort of longterm water remediation may not be required. The initial pulse of suspended sediment didn’t last long enough to affect fish in most of Quesnel Lake, much less the Fraser River system. Sediment tests show elevated iron and copper, with “leachability” results to come. Containment and removal will have to be undertaken. On May 24 of this year, Mount Polley received the first high

water warning in its history. This was not a “breach,” contrary to some reports. The latest water permit application and work to raise the dam took place after that. It’s not difficult to deduce from aerial photos what was happening as mine management found ways to extend operation, including an underground phase. The pond was filling up with pulverized rock, reducing its capacity to hold water. Most of the accumulation is still there for all to see, as is the cross-section of the dam so abruptly exposed in the wee hours of Aug. 4. It may be months before inspectors and geotechnical engineers can determine the cause of the breach, which occurred with the water level 2.5 metres below the top of the dam, well within permit specifications. Either the

design of the earthworks was not adequate, or it was not adequately followed. TV crews have packed up and left, after sucking out the initial drama and retailing every sensational claim they could find. Tourism operators are pleading with people not to turn their backs on the region after that influx of visitors. Professional environmentalists are now exploiting Mount Polley as part of their campaign to deindustrialize B.C. A key propaganda tool is a single picture of a salmon with skin removed from part of its dorsal region. No such fish has been produced, and a single rainbow trout collected the day of the spill is the only confirmed aquatic casualty. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Consultation brings healing Re: “Farm changes a great leap forward” (B.C. Views, Aug. 13). Agriculture minister Norm Letnick happens to be reducing the harm from Bill 24 (this spring’s ALR bill) with his consultation about the ALR regulation. However, columnist Tom Fletcher seems confused about its main purpose. The consultation paper begins with it: “The purpose of this consultation is to invite your input on some proposed additional activi-

ties. . . .” That contrasts with the Bill 24 experience, where thousands of citizens of all stripes requested consultation and were spurned. It remains obvious that the bill reduced the protection of farmland in the nine-tenths of the ALR in the new second tier. It is not obvious why Fletcher thinks that fact or a distillery on MLA Lana Popham’s farm is relevant to the current consultation. In many ways, Letnick’s collegial process is exemplary. One

gets the sense of a group of people with down-to-earth knowledge working toward careful updates to the ALR Regulation. To take part, Google “July 2014 Land Commission consultation” without quotes. You’ll find the consultation paper and a survey, open till August 22. Bill 24 harmed the Agricultural Land Commission and the ALR. The shared success of this consultation can bring some healing. Jim Wright Garden City Conservation Society

ALC changes a ‘disaster’ Re: Farm changes a great leap forward (B.C. Views, Aug. 13). Tom Fletcher’s opinions are not shared by any farmers I know. The B.C. government’s post-facto “public consultation process” is farcical given that Bill 24, which amends the Agricultural Land Commission Act, was passed this May. An authentic public consultation process should have been multi-year and province-wide, not invitation-only meetings and a one-month-

long token public feedback process which highlight yet again the magnitude of our democratic deficit. Fletcher’s analogy to Mao Tse-tung’s Great Leap Forward is apt, however, given B.C.’s democratic deficit and because Mao’s vision gave rise to China’s Great Famine, resulting in tens of millions of deaths. The Great Leap For ward has been defined as “a very expensive disaster.” British Columbians will also pay a high price for the B.C.

Liberal scheme to drastically change the ALR, as our food insecurity will increase and farm land even more polluted. The “farming” activities proposed by the B.C. Liberals will reduce the land available to grow food. Alcohol has very limited nutritional value. The B.C. Liberals’ continued support for industrial agriculture, one of the world’s biggest causes of greenhouse gas emissions, combined with fracking, oil development and anaerobic digest-

ers will further pollute farmland. Manure from organic farms is worth far more as fertilizer than as fodder for anaerobic digesters; only conventional farmers would seek to use their contaminated manure to generate power. The B.C.

holes,” said Crey. “The questions becomes, how do we share the river safely and accommodate each other’s fisheries?” When the recreational sockeye fishery was first opened on the Fraser in the mid-1990s, there was no pre-planning or consultation by Fisheries and Oceans. That sometimes led to misunderstandings and disputes, he said. “There will be issues on the river for years to come, with potential or actual conflict to deal with,” said Crey. “But with Peacemakers we’ve made a good start. First of all, we’re sitting at the same table.” The Peacemakers group has been advocating catch monitoring and compliance standards, conflict resolution, stewardship, education and safety. They’ve earned the support of sport fishing groups, B.C. ministries, conservation groups, First Nations, federal agencies and more. “We hold monthly meetings between the various groups, and we have a conflict resolution committee in place

that could be called if we hear about an incident promptly,” Clapton said. The group has FN designates, and sport fishing reps who work together in the event of an incident or conflict, to facilitate communications and find a resolution. They’ve been working at it for five years, in the wake of an altercation between aboriginal and sport fishers. The group worked closely and put out a pamphlet called ‘River Manners,’ which was “created by sport fishers and First Nations on the Fraser who care.” So what changed over the years since

Peacemakers was formed? “Attitudes are better,” Clapton said. “We have more understanding about each other’s fisheries. We’ve demonstrated a desire to see changes now and for future generations.” To get help from the group, to have a river incident investigated by their conflict resolution committee, email riverpeacemaker@gmail. com. Do not report to the Peacemakers any allegations of illegal fishing or criminal behaviour, which is the responsibility of RCMP and DFO. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

New era coming for Cultus Lake Park Board somehow overstepped board authority. One high profile example was the attempt to shut down question period per-

manently by some members of the park board who felt insulted by an alleged lack of “respect” shown by some leaseholders. “This was a clear breach of the park’s bylaw, and this bylaw breach was confirmed by the B.C. Ombudsperson,” he noted. Nonetheless his service as a commissioner was both “a privilege and an honour,” he added, and he gave thanks to several before his departure. “First of all, thank you to the commissioners who didn’t always agree with me, but supported me and respected my opinion. “Thank you to the residents, commercial tenants and staff who have often had words of encouragement and supported my efforts to bring forward issues of common concern. It humbled me when individuals would seek me out to discuss their concerns or to seek my advice.” In response, the Cultus Lake Park Board officially accepted McCrea’s resignation this week. “I would like to thank Bob McCrea for his service to the Cultus Lake Park Board,” said Park board chair Sacha Peter, in a news release. “We wish him success in his future endeavours.” Section 9 of the Cultus Lake Park Act now calls upon City of Chilliwack to appoint a new park board member to hold the position for the remainder of the current term of office.

Local strongman flexes muscles for daycare’s new playground Scott Wallace won’t have time to think of the pain surging through every inch of his muscled body. Fifteen seconds and it will all be over. But give it a second after, he says, and he is sure to collapse. If not from the physical exertion, then the pride of knowing his son’s daycare is one step closer to getting a muchneeded new playground. Wallace is a Strongman. Since 2012, the 6-foot-2, 290-pound behemoth has been training, competing and winning several Strongman competitions throughout North America. This Friday, however, is different. This Friday, Wallace isn’t looking to be a champion, he’s looking to help a community in need. This Friday, at Party in the Park, Wallace will be using his physical powers to raise a playground for a Chilliwack daycare. It’s the next step, he says, in his journey to becoming one of B.C.’s most notorious Strongmen. “It’s my way of taking it to another level,” he says. To not just be about the competition, but the community as well. Truck Pull For a Playground is a fundraiser for A Nice Place to be Daycare, of which Wallace’s three-year-old son Cole attends, as did his older stepson. The daycare, located on Vedder Road, has been operating in Chilliwack for 22 years. The playground is almost just as old. The wood structure is tired and weathered, as is the fencing around the yard. The landscape is hard and rocky with sink holes. “I’ve tried putting grass in, but it doesn’t stay,” says daycare provider Tracey Tantrum. “When it rains, the kids treat it like a swimming pool.” And because Tantrum has kept fees to a minimum, catering to all families, many who are low-income and rely on government subsidies to help with daycare costs, she doesn’t have the extra funds needed for a playground makeover.

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

Enter Wallace. Wallace had been wanting to do something for the community for almost as long as he’s been competing in Strongman. It was his wife Carrie that led him to the daycare’s needs. They love the daycare, they love the relationships they’ve formed, they love the staff. But that playground, it’s seen better days.

“The playground is not where it should be,” says Wallace. “It’s old and beaten up and it’s definitely time for a new one.” This Friday, during Party in the Park, Wallace will haul a 50,000 pound, Canex flatbed truck, strapped to his shoulders, 50 feet along Victoria Ave. The event, sponsored by Supplement King, is

estimated to last 15 seconds. “It’s an exciting thing to watch; a lot of people in Chilliwack haven’t seen it done before,” says Wallace. “I make lots of noise. I scream, I holler, I grunt. I love doing it. I love that not everybody can do it.” The fundraiser, which has already received several in-kind donations with things like sig-

nage, fence repair and landscaping, is hoping to raise $4,000 for the playground structure. “A lot of the time people get caught up with their every day lives and they forget what’s important,” says Wallace. “Ultimately, our kids are the most important,

whether they’re yours or others. “Even if it’s just $5, if 500 people give that, look how much that adds up to.” In addition to the truck pull, Wallace will also be performing log presses, atlas stone lifts and circus dumbbell presses for

the charity. For more information, visit www.youcaring. com/help-a-neighbor/anice-place-to-be-charity-pull/206357 and the Facebook page at w w w. f a c e b o o k . c o m / events/1434838463 463439/ kbartel@theprogress.com

QUESTION:

How can I stop my child from sucking his thumb? ANSWER: Thumb or finger sucking is very common and in early years it is not a major cause for concern. If this habit continues or is severe, it can cause changes in the position of the teeth and the shape of the upper jaw bone (the palate). Thumb sucking is a soothing activity that serves to help alleviate anxiety and is thought to stem from the rooting impulse of infants seeking comfort. Many children who suck their thumb will stop on their own with no intervention (often by 2-4 years of age), though some do require assistance to break the habit. It is generally best to avoid making a big deal of the behaviour as this tends to make children dig in their heals. In social situations, a secret hand signal or some other subtle reminder can help to remind the child without embarrassing him or her. An important point to be made with any intervention is to try

to keep to positive reinforcement scolding or other negative attention can actually worsen the problem as it makes the child more prone to self-soothing. A reward system such as a sticker chart can work very well to help the child change their behaviour and let them feel a sense of pride in having done so.

352+,%,7,21

There are products on the market such as nail varnishes which have a bad taste but these serve more as a reminder for the child to stop sucking their thumb - a determined child will still suck, regardless of these products.

16th Annual Annual C Crystal rystal Gala G

A dentist can be of some assistance. Sometimes a conversation with the dentist stressing the importance of stopping the habit can enhance parental efforts. If the habit is causing problems and previous attempts at curbing it are not successful, an oral appliance can be fitted for the child that makes thumb sucking very difficult. This is can serve a useful role in helping him or her to break the habit.

Chilliwack dancers make to the Worlds Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Six dancers from Chilliwack are getting ready to head to Europe with Team Canada. They danced up a storm and busted a move in such a way that captivated judges. Now all six have qualified to represent Canada at the International Dance Organization World Hip Hop Championships in Germany next month. Team Canada includes these Chilliwack dancers:

Alana Cross (Senior); Delaney Hawkes (Senior); Lory Nixon (Senior); Elana D’archangelo (Junior); Emma Donnelly (Junior); and Camryn JacksonGola (Junior). Lory Cross, 18, expects to be up against stiff competition when she gets on stage at the World Hip Hop Championships. So what will be the strategy for Team Canada? “We’re going to kill it!” she says. “We’re going to put everything out there.” Maintaining trust in her teammates and trust in herself

is key. “The team I am working with is so incredible. We really want it. It’s great to work with a dedicated group of dancers.” They’ve been warned they could be targets since a solid reputation precedes them. Canada typically is ranked very highly at the Worlds for this genre of dance. Cross has been training in studio for two years. “I like everything about hip hop dance,” she says adding she’s done ballet, jazz and tap as well.

It’s her first time competing out of the country. “I’m excited more than nervous. The whole idea of winning at the worlds would be absolutely incredible.” Team Canada’s ace choreographer Paul Otterbein has been rehearsing the intricate and powerful choreography with the team, and streamlining their routines before departing for Bochum, Germany. Fellow team member Delaney Hawkes says it means “everything” to have earned this opportunity.

“I was hoping I’d make the team,” she says. “The audition felt really strong to me.” Hawkes started competitively dancing at the age of 8. “It’s my favourite thing to do,” she says. It helps that she feels “totally inspired” by the sheer talent of her fellow dancers. It can even turn a bad day around just getting out and working on her dance routine. “You don’t think about anything else when you’re dancing,” Hawkes says. Continued: WORLD/ p22

Phu Thai Spa has arrived downtown

t's all about feeling better at Phu Thai Spa on Gore Avenue. Now Chilliwack patrons can experience spa services in a safe, relaxing and quiet atmosphere. They'll feel energized and renewed. Owner Patti Kalayanee said she'd been looking everywhere in the Lower Mainland to open her second location, and has chosen downtown Chilliwack on Gore Avenue. "I love the mountains and the small-town feeling in Chilliwack. It's just like home. Everyone is so friendly." The name of her business, Phu Thai, is a nod to her roots. "It is the name of my tribe, it simply means 'Thai people'" she says. "This is where I was born and grew up, in a small town in northeastern Thailand." She's lived in B.C. for more than 20 years.

"I am now very well prepared and experienced in the spa business." When her son started high school, she decided to follow her passion to become a spa therapist. "I graduated from a year-long Spa Therapy program from the Blanche MacDonald Centre in Vancouver." Her grandmother was a healer, and she wonders if it skipped a generation. Now Kalayanee is planning to obtain even more training soon to become a registered massage therapist (RMT) which would allow her to offer medical receipts. Nonetheless, there is a lot she can to do to provide her clientele with respite from a

stressed out world. "My spa philosophy is to have clients feel much better after coming to see us," she said. "They'll walk out the door feeling like a whole new person. The mind is clear and the body feels light." Many of her clientele, about 90 per cent, are seeking the pain-relieving effects of massage. It can help release toxins, increase circulation, relax muscles and work out painful knots. At her spa, she uses a traditional Thai herbal compress called a "stem" in the Therapeutic Thai Stem Massage. She uses a range of stems with

more than 15 Thai healing herbs which may help to reduce muscular tension, increase blood circulation, stimulate lymphatic drainage and erase mind and body restlessness. De-stressing, preventing illness and detoxing are the gentle benefits of massage therapy, and other relaxation services at Phu Spa like body wraps. There are also nail care, facial and body treatment services. See more at www.phuthaispa.com. Phu Thai Spa is at Magnolia Manor #2 - 46013 Gore Avenue, Chilliwack. Call: 604-402-3303 or 604-317-7474

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re best friends, husband and wife and business partners. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Wylie Jones and Martin Maxwell of Wylie and the Other Guy; an energetic and versatile duo with a vast repertoire that satisfies a wide-range of musical tastes. The first half of the duo is Wylie, an energetic lady with a certain artistic flair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The organist at our church choir told my mother that I had musical talent. Then, I discovered theatre in Grade 11 and fell in love with it. I felt at home onstage. I went on to become a member of the Playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Guild and did Shakespeare at the college. I absolutely love Shakespeare,â&#x20AC;? she enthused. The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; guy is Indianapolis, Indiana born Martin Maxwell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been musical. By the third grade, I was playing the cymbals. In fourth grade, I took up the violin and continued to

play all through high school. I began to play bass after I graduated and joined a band,â&#x20AC;? he explained. Martin went on to join the Rocky Vaselino Show, a six-piece 50s and 60s band that toured all over Canada and the United States. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The band came comAna plete MACEDO with its own lighting and sound crew and the band members all wore tuxes,â&#x20AC;? he added. Wylie and Martin first met in 1989 while he and the band performed at a local nightclub. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was writing a play entitled Ring Around the Rosey at the time and went in to do some research. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was love at first sight,â&#x20AC;? smiled Martin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not for me!

Thanks Bruce

I have a young family, a husband and three kids and my life is very complex. I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses was something I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less than I paid for one pair at my regular optometrist. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe how great the deal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere but Great Glasses in the future. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so glad that Bruce was willing to fight for good customer value. Sincerely, Amy Gill

Ribbonstar Show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I get my ideas for the songs by watching and listening to kids,â&#x20AC;? he noted. One day, while we were loading up after a gig, we saw some kids jumping in a puddle. All kids love puddles so I wrote My Puddle Jumping Song. We also noticed how kids love to pretend to be animals and bugs so The Buggie Boogie and Hungry Dog Blues were written. Writing songs isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an easy task. Sometimes, they come up with a great melody but the lyrics donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit. Other times, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to find just the right word or they both like a different word. Through it all, the couple has managed to continue to do what they love. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can play venues of any size from your living room to Heritage Park and we always try to connect with the kids,â&#x20AC;? she chuckled. The duo also has a great connection with the older set and often plays for seniors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do have a varied repertoire filled with familiar songs that everyone loves to sing from wartime classics to seasonal favourites,â&#x20AC;? she added with a smile. Recently, they also launched Mojomax, a high energy drums and guitar driven trio that delivers an eclectic mix of rock genres. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really happy with the new band and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another way of adding variety to what we offer.â&#x20AC;? Away from the stage, the couple loves to go for long walks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love nature and with our hectic lifestyle, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a calming thing,â&#x20AC;? concluded Wylie, with a smile.

laughed. Martin was living in Seattle at the time but would make a side trip to Chilliwack to visit Wylie every time he played in Canada. The couple soon began dating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He heard me sing and then one day he asked if I would join him, if he put together a duo. I thought that it was a nice sentiment but that it would never get off the ground,â&#x20AC;? she recalled. Martin proved her wrong. The couple launched Wylie and the Other Guy in 1990 and were married the following year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We travelled quite a bit when we first started but I found that I really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like that,â&#x20AC;? she admitted. Today, they mainly perform throughout the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. The duo is very versatile and can play everything from country to 50s and 60s music to pop and the jazz standards. They also have an innate ability not only to entertain but to also connect with children and seniors. Several years ago, the duo received a phone call from the Coquitlam Legion looking for childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entertainment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I put on a clown costume, Martin put on a shiny hat and jingle berries and Rosie Ribbonstar and Uncle Max appeared!â&#x20AC;? she enthused. They thought that it would be a one-time gig but after the event, they were asked to perform the following year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had so much fun that we just continued with the act,â&#x20AC;? she added.

Sparvier leads skilled Grizzly attack

The Progress Tumble outta bed And I stumble to the kitchen Pour myself a cup of ambition And yawn and stretch And try to come to life Jump in the shower And the blood starts pumpin’ Out on the street The traffic starts jumpin’ The folks like me on the job from 9 to 5 Dolly Parton’s ‘9 to 5’ lyrics floated across the football field Monday morning as the GW Graham Grizzlies gathered for the first day of training camp. Grade 8s on the right. The junior varsity squad in the middle and the varsity team all alone on the big field to the left. Surveying the scene with a smile, GWG head coach Laurie Smith mused about the season to come. “We got beat 62-0 by (Nanaimo’s) John Barsby last year, and I think we’ll beat them when we go out to play them this year,” Smith prognosticated. “(Robert) Batemen will be strong. Mission will be strong. Will Abbotsford even have a team? It’ll be competitive, and one blogger had us ranked eighth in the province. I actually think we’re better than that.” GWG’s varsity roster is short on numbers compared to last year. Smith had 39 players at his disposal in 2013 compared to 26 this year. “But only 12 of the 39 we had last year had ever played football,” Smith countered. “On this year’s team, everyone has played at least three years. And most of them have played together since atom.” Still, 26 players leaves little wiggle room for injury/

ing. “The American players didn’t think much of us, but we showed them that Graham was there to play.” Winning a seven-on-seven tourney is great, but it’s a while different animal passing in the face of an aggressive pass rush. And depth concerns loom especially large along the offensive line. “We’ve got Brayden Winger and Diego Pineda, who are both Team BC guys,” Smith said. ”Elijah Schellenberg was a Team BC guy last year, and we’ve got Josh Mander, who’s really really good. It’s a very capable group, but if a couple of them go down it’ll be challenging.” “The linemen we have are dedicated and work their butts off,” Sparvier added. “What they lack in numbers they make up for in heart, effort and skill and I think we’ll be just fine.” Most of GWG’s offensive stars are also its defensive stars.

Kennedy, for instance, leads the linebacking corps. “Kirkland is our middle linebacker and he’s just dominant,” Smith said. “He’s a little mentally unstable with anger issues, which is good for a linebacker. He does everything we need him to do.” Sparvier’s QB status won’t exempt him from doing double duty. He’ll line up at free safety. Smith and Walsh at cornerback. Pineda anchoring the defensive line. “Playing both ways makes you fitter and seeing both sides of the game helps you understand things better,” Sparvier said. “A lot of the top-ranked AAA teams don’t have a whole lot of players. I don’t mind playing both ways and I know if I ever have to step out for a breather, there’s a whole bunch of reliable guys that’ll fill my spot.” Get GWG Grizzly info online at grahamfootball.ca

Silver score Chilliwack’s Tasha Willing turned in a silver medal performance at a national youth track meet in Langley last weekend. The Legion National Youth Track and Field Championships were held at McLeod Athletic Park. Willing, a Chilliwack secondary school student, earned her medal in the U-18 womens’ shot-put. Willing, 16 years old, was one of the younger competitors in a division that also included 17 year olds. She unleashed a throw of 13.20 metres in the final, finishing a scant .16 metres out of first place. Willing competed in two other events. In the U-18 hammer-throw she launched her hammer 50.81m to finish sixth. In the U-18 discus, her mark of 34.97 metres left her ninth.

absence, and requires many of Smith’s best players to play both ways. Lack of depth could be the one issue that derails an otherwise promising season. “We’re a little light at the varsity level, but we’ve got very good numbers at our Grade 8 and junior levels,” Smith said, focusing on the big-picture. “When all is said and done, I think we’ll have similar numbers to what we had last year, which is 100 kids on all three teams. And I’m happy with that.” Though small in stature, Terrell Sparvier may have the biggest role on the senior Grizzlies. Right now, Smith views him as the senior squad’s starting quarterback. “Being five-foot-six comes with its complications, but putting in the work and having such a skilled group of linemen, receivers and running backs that I can count on, that gives me confidence,” Sparvier said. When Sparvier lines up under center, he’ll have Ryan Connolly and Treyvon Walsh as his outside receivers, with Kirkland Kennedy and Emerson Smith in the slots. Brett Westad is back, ready to stake his claim as one of BC high school football’s top tailbacks. Collectively, Smith calls them the strongest group of skill-players he’s ever coached. Sparvier knows he’s got a plethora of offensive weapons. “Brett (Westad) is shifty, quick and strong, and whenever we need to dig ourselves out of hole, he’s the guy to go to,” Sparvier said. We have depth behind him too with Alex Bannerman and Tristan Davis. Then there’s all the receivers too. You can’t really go wrong with all the guys we have on offence.” Indeed, the Grizzlies shocked American competition on a team trip to Oregon earlier this summer. After being hammered in the same event the previous two years, GWG rose up to win a seven-on-seven passing tournament at Camp Rilea. Going into it, most of their opponents considered them afterthoughts. “We were the only Canadian team and we were huge underdogs, tabbed by everyone as mediocre,” Sparvier said, smil-

Toth tackles Ironman Chilliwack’s Anthony Toth crossed the finish line 54th overall at last weekend’s Ironman 70.3 race in Lake Stevens, WA. Toth competed in the men’s pro division, finishing the race in 4:43:12. He tackled the 1.2 mile (1.93 kilometre) swim in 27 minutes and 39 seconds, the 37th fastest time in the field. But the bike stage proved to be his downfall. Toth completed 56 miles (90.12 km) in 2:45:36, about 30 minutes behind the fastest cyclist. He bounced back in the 13.1 mile (21.08 km) run stage, clocking in with the 41st fastest time at 1:27.07. But his overall time was 48 minutes behind race winner Terenzo Bozzone of Hidden Hills, CA.

Sports Still winless after Kamloops clobbering

Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s junior football Valley Huskers fell to 0-4 Saturday, losing their first road game of the year in Kamloops. The host Broncos demolished the Huskers 45-15 in BC Football Conference action at Hillside Stadium, taking advantage of seven Chilliwack turnovers. Husker quarterbacks Dylan La Prairie and R.J. Begg combined to throw four interceptions (three by La Prairie). One of those was returned 20 yards for a major by Bronco Mike Ochoa.

The Huskers fumbled the ball away twice and also had a turnover on downs. Working with short fields, the Broncos still rolled up 550 yards of net offence. Kamloops quar terback Steve Schuweiler passed for 328 yards and four touchdowns. Devin Csincsa caught two of them, with Jesse Neufeld and Derek Yachison also finding the endzone. Running back Jacob Palmarin picked up 113 yards on 10 carries and Connor Whitelaw had a rushing major. Kamloops kicker Aaron Smit booted a 14 yard field goal and added six converts. Turnovers aside, the Husker offence did OK, generating 412 net yards. Running back Benedict Muhima had

his best game of 2014, topping the century mark with 121 yards on 15 carries. Felix Kaanon led the receiving crew with 95 yards on five catches. R.J. Begg had the only offensive major. Kicker Dan Erickson booted field goals of 20 and 25 yards. Cody Parray had the other Chilliwack touchdown on a 10 yard interception return. Hayden Jeffery also had an interception, and Owen Roche came up with a fumble recovery. Jason Ghag led the Husker D with six solo tackles. Chilliwack stays on the road this weekend, visiting Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Westshore Rebels for a Saturday afternoon (1 p.m.) tilt at Westhills Stadium.

â&#x2014;? Langley Rams quarterback Dylan Tucker had as good a game as you can have Saturday, leading his team to a 75-16 thrashing of the Westshore Rebels. Tucker was extremely efficient, throwing just 10 passes. He completed them all for an astounding 352 yards and five touchdowns. Those are Madden football numbers, working out to a 158.3 quarterback rating, or the highest a QB can achieve. Malcolm Williams caught five Tucker passes for 152 yards and three touchdowns. Daniel English caught three passes for 132 yards and two touchdowns. Oh, and Tucker scored a major himself on a one-yard QB sneak.

In 1945 they were married and moved to Chilliwack. In 1955 they built their own home where they both loved until his passing. Louise worked at York Farms and Woolworth’s when raising their children. She was involved in many activities skating, curling, bowling and loved watching baseball. She was a long time member of Canadian Order of Foresters where she helped with many fund raisers and events. She is survived by her children George and Kathleen. Predeceased by her husband Harry in 2000. A celebration of life will be held at 2:00pm on August 25, 2014 at the Salvation Army Church, on Brooks Ave, Chilliwack. A memorial donation may be made in Louise’s name to the SPCA, Salvation Army or a charity of your choice.

Zona Wale died in her sleep on Friday, August 15, 2014 in Chilliwack, B.C. at age 83. Born in 1930 in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, Zona survived German occupation and tuberculosis at 16. She graduated from Belgrade University with a degree in literature and linguistics, and escaped Serbia for England in 1957 by bribing Communist officials. David Wale married her soon after she arrived in London, England, following a search for the beautiful translator he had met the previous year while on a medical practicum at a Belgrade hospital. Together they had three children and travelled extensively in Europe where Major David Wale served as a physician with the British Army. In 1969 the Wale family moved to Canada and settled in Regina, Saskatchewan. During the 1980s, Zona began painting and studied under teachers in Belgrade and Regina; she learned Spanish, her fifth language, to study art in Spain and Mexico. Painting, and her passion for art, gave her life new purpose when David died in 1991; her son James died shortly after her move to Chilliwack in 1996. A founding member of the Chilliwack Arts Society, Zona’s last solo art show in May was very well received by the Chilliwack arts community. Zona is survived by her son Richard (Brenda), daughter Gillian (Rockland), four grandchildren: Helen, Emily, Matthew and David, grandnieces and nephews in Europe and friends in Regina and Chilliwack, including her very dear and faithful friend, Albert Raverat. A funeral will be held at Henderson’s Funeral Home, 45901 Victoria Avenue, Chilliwack, at 11:00 a.m., Thursday, August 21. Reception, to follow at Henderson’s Tea Room. Burial to take place at Chilliwack Cemeteries. Henderson’s Funeral Homes & Crematorium in care of arrangements,604-792-1344. www.hendersonsfunerals.com
