Channel blowout strands 37 fishermen Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It took 20 volunteers with Chilliwack Search and Rescue more than an hour to shuttle all the stranded fishermen on the Fraser River back to safety.

It was one more like Gold of their biggest operations Rush fever to date, said CSAR search ~ Doug Fraser manager Doug Fraser. But it all went fairly quickly and smoothly. “It was unprecedented,” he said. “Typically we get called out to help one or two people, or maybe five at one time. But never as many as 37.” It took several trips back and forth to get everyone ashore. “The good thing about this incident is that no one was in the back channel when it blew out, and we didn’t have to look for anyone in the river.” It was a dangerous situation that turned out OK. The bottom end of the gravel bar, which was once attached, is now an isolated little chunk in the river. Peg Leg Bar is an extremely popular sportfishing destination in Chilliwack, attracting gaggles of anglers who line the

Harper in Chilliwack to talk trade Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A Chilliwack manufacturer was the site of round-table trade talks Wednesday with Prime Minister Stephen Harper, community and business leaders. The photo-op was geared to showcasing Canada’s first trade deal in the Asia Pacific region – the Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement. “Particular benefits for B.C.” are expected to accrue from the signing of this latest free trade agreement, he noted. “It’s our first ever in the Asia
Pacific region, and obviously therefore an important gateway in terms of our trading strategy into that entire region,” said Harper. The PM was flanked by Ed Fast, Minister of International Trade, who hosted the round table discussion, and IMW Industries president Brian Nguyen. The low-key trade-related discussions were held on the factory floor of IMW in Chilliwack, where their CNG compressors and fueling equipment are typically built by IMW workers. The goal of the event was to
chat about recent trade developments, such as the upshot of the agreement, and ways to boost investment between Canada and Korea. “Thank you for hosting us. We had a great tour of what is a dynamic and growing local company,” Harper said about IMW Industries, before the roundtable started. The IMW president said the local company was “honoured” to have the PM and his entourage visit the Chilliwack site of the busy global export company. He didn’t know exactly why IMW was chosen for a tour and
photo-op, but said they were happy to accept the offer. “Free trade agreements are very important to us,” said IMW president Nguyen after the talks. “When tariffs and taxes are removed, it makes us a lot more competitive. We can grow our business as a result.” Rising demand for CNG equipment worldwide has led the IMW workforce to be doubled in size, said Nguyen, going from about 150 employees a couple of years ago, to 300 IMW workers in Canada. They are also planning to enter the Continued: PM/ p4

Members of city council took the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge Tuesday at Chilliwack city hall with the help of a front-end loader. Mayor Sharon Gaetz was the first to rise to the challenge, dousing herself with a single blue bucket of ice water after the council meeting. She pledged to do the challenge and donate, in memory of the late Peter Wheeler. The mayor was joined by the rest of council, Coun. Ken Huttema, Coun. Sue Attrill, Coun. Ken Popove, Coun. Stewart McLean, Coun. Chuck Stam, and her husband, Jim Gaetz, for a second ice bucket challenge. JENNIFER FEINBERG/ PROGRESS

Further tests of mine tailings spilled down a creek bed from the Mount Polley mine will determine whether the metal-bearing sand will be removed or left where it is, Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett said this week. The first lab tests on sediment samples at the mouth of Hazeltine Creek showed that while the material that poured down to the creek mouth in Quesnel Lake isn’t a health hazard to humans, its iron and copper content are above federal and provincial standards for aquatic life. Bennett said it’s encouraging that the first sediment results did not show presence of arsenic, mercury or cadmium, toxic elements found in mine rock or used in mine processing. A comparison sample of compact sediment from the mouth of nearby Raft Creek, not affected by the Aug. 4 tailings pond breach, also tested above sediment quality guidelines for iron. The environment ministry says mineral deposits that attract mine development often have naturally occurring metal concentrations much higher than other areas. “What we need to do is test those sediments to determine whether it’s better environmentally to leave them there or to try to collect them and get them out of the creek bed and get them out of the creek mouth in Quesnel Lake,” Bennett said. “Before you start dredging lake bottoms Continued: POLLEY/ p9

related world of LNG, liquid natural gas equipment, some time in the near future. IMW is a wholly owned subsidiary of Clean Energy Fuels. “IMW has enjoyed significant growth in exports of our compressors because of free trade agreements supported by Prime Minster Harper,” said Nguyen, “and because of the rapid adoption of natural gas as a transportation fuel.” The local company was “honoured to host the PM” this week and spotlight the success of IMW, he said. Korea is considered a key market for the Harper government.
“I am pleased to have been here today with Canadian businesses to discuss the ways our country can benefit from the new trade and investment opportunities this historic agreement will provide,” said Harper. “I would also like to thank our business people for their valuable input, which helped to inform negotiations.” The two countries announced the end of negotiations for the Free Trade Agreement in March 2014 and are now working through the steps. Once implemented, it will immediately bring substantial benefits to Canadian consumers, exporters, producers and investors across all regions. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Fishermen plucked from sandbar SANDBAR from Front gravel bars shoulder to shoulder during the sockeye season. The area was so congested with traffic, that emergency vehicles had difficulty gaining access. “Most fishermen have some etiquette but at Peg Leg sometimes it’s more like Gold Rush fever. People rush to get to it from Chilliwack, and from Vancouver, and all over, and all they have on their mind is getting their two sockeye.” When the anglers first waded out across the channel it would have been about kneedeep and 20 feet across. But over the course of several hours, the force of the current kept eating away at the entrance to the side channel. Suddenly it gaped about 80 feet wide, and 10 feet deep,
making it impossible for the fishermen to get back across to where they came from. Chilliwack SAR was called out to the river at about 3:45 p.m and were there until about 6 p.m. When Fraser first saw the callout details, it mistakenly said 80 fishermen were stranded. “I thought it was a typo,” he said. The gravel bar has continued to erode since the incident, and Fraser said he planned to return and check the area out on Thursday. “We just hope that no one tries to swim out to the sand bar.” Some posters on fishing sites suggested the cause was someone digging out a channel on the bar, maybe to keep fish cool, which eventually caused it to give way to the force of the river current. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

There’s still a little time left to get in a visit with the kids to Dinotown at Funland near Cultus Lake. “Everyone is welcome to wind down the summer with us,” says Funland owner Wendy Croshaw. They’ve had a good summer so far and they’re closing as usual on Labour Day Weekend. The site has the original Funland setup in place and has been hosting Dinotown with its dinosaur family and live entertainment shows. Dinotown toys are interspersed with those of Funland. Meet Dusty Bones and the family. The attraction next to Frosty’s Ice Cream offers “extreme value” for families with very young children, says Croshaw, and is geared for kids ages 2 to 10. “They can play all day, and there are five acres of fun.” There’s mini golf, and a mini zip line. There are big wheel bike rides, paddle boats and a giant maze, even a spray station and an inflatable slide. “It’s creative and active fun.”

Opinion This is a career I never imagined I’d be leaving. Long before I can remember, I’ve been telling people I was going to be a writer, an author, a storyteller. On my 14th birthday, 22 years ago, a passion for jourKatie nalism, BARTEL beyond sharing the daily with my pops every morning, was ignited. It wasn’t a discovery of Edward R. Murrow, or Rick Bragg, or even B.C.’s own Ma Murray; all of whom I did later realize and love. It was a horoscope. My birthday horoscope. In it, I was told that not only did I share a birthday with Mark Wahlberg (sigh) but that my love for words was destined for the world of journalism. I ran with it. For more than 11 years, almost nine years to the day spent in Chilliwack, I’ve been paid to be nosy. It’s been an incredible career. I’ve been granted the key to so many opportunities that most others wouldn’t have the chance to do. In the name of journalism, I’ve flown over the valley in a blimp, I’ve seen my life flash before my eyes in the passenger seat of a stunt plane, I’ve shakily shot a would-be thug in the knees, then chest, in a cop-training simulation, relived prom, managed to piss off F-bomb dropping Dennis Leary before I even got on the phone with him, which, truthfully, was really kind of awesome.

Black Press Chris Lepine is hoping to share the natural taste of a Harrison Mills spring with the rest of the world. And if the Fraser Valley Regional District approves a rezoning request for a small portion of his land to allow for a small bottling plant, he could do just that. He would also be able to provide a handful of jobs locally, and help promote the rural region he calls home. Lepine is the owner of Christopher’s Springs, at 14400 Chehalis Forest Service Road. The land sits between Elbow Lake and Echo Lake, and includes a portion of Elbow Creek,
where Lepine already draws water that he sells in bulk. That water currently is trucked to an off-site bottling plant. He is hoping that building the plant will help build the local economy, rather than creating jobs elsewhere. His proposed bottling plant would require about 0.7 hectares of his 13 hectare parcel, and the rezoning is necessary to change that land from institutional to industrial. His water license allows up to 25,000 gallons of water a day, but the bottling plant he’s hoping to build would only produce about 3,280 gallons of drinking water per day. The FVRD held a public hearing

last Wednesday at the Harrison Mills Community Hall. More than 100 people turned up to hear more details about the proposed project and land use changes. Several people spoke against the project’s plan to draw water out of Elbow Creek, but were reminded that the water license is a separate provincial matter and out of the hands of the regional district. Public comment is now closed regarding the land use change, and prior to the public hearing the FVRD reported it had received 46 written responses. Of those, 34 were in favour of Lepine’s proposal, and 11 opposed it. Supporters include his aunt, Betty Ann Faulkner, owner of Pretty Estates. Her father and grandfather were local pioneers who helped develop Harrison Mills into the community it is today, with a history stretching back to the late 1800s. “I believe our family’s entrepreneurship, it has helped the Harrison Mills area, and I think having this bottling plant would be better than having another housing development,” she added. Lepine told the crowd his own history with the land, as caretaker of Elbow Creek for the past 22 years. He is the contact person for mitigation along the creek, is the one who installed a fish ladder in that waterway, and operates two water systems and a power system at Pretty Estates. The watershed is important to him and his family, and he promised that if the watershed suffered harm from his project, he’d

shut it down. But he doesn’t foresee that happening, he said. The lowest flow of Elbow Creek historically is about 2,000 gallons per minute, and he’s currently drawing .006 per cent of that. At his full operation, he would be draining .012 percent of that lowest flow. “I’ve spent a great portion of my life taking care of Elbow Creek,” he said. However, the land use is what the regional district has to mull over before they make their decision at a future meeting. Resident Cynthia Watson asked them to consider the fact they’ve made a corporate decision to not use bottled water within their offices and at meetings. Notably, FVRD director Wendy Bales sat in the audience instead of at the table with the rest of the directors. She is sitting out of the issue to avoid any potential conflict of interest. She did speak as a resident, though, to say that she is against any industrial development. Lepine stated that he has a backup plan if the FVRD chooses not to allow the rezoning. “I will go elsewhere,” he said, shipping the water to a bottling plant in an industrial area, most likely in Abbotsford. If the plant is built in Harrison Mills as Lepine hopes, he will be subject to higher property taxes. Some of the residents who spoke out against the project stated they are concerned that a bottling plant would eventually grow and become a problem, attract more industrial activity, and that the plant would be bought up by Nestle Waters, who operate in Hope. Resident Kevin Sass noted that the closest neighbour to the plant is Chris Lepine himself, and that having the plant would offer good jobs locally. Summer Dhillon stated that the plant could help “put Harrison Mills on the map.” She has built a company that is working on branding the area, and securing funding from the province to help promote it. “We need to bring more money to this community,” she said. The full report from FVRD staff is available at www.fvrd.bc.ca.

Northern mines await completion of Mount Polley probe Tom Fletcher Black Press The company developing the Morrison coppergold mine near Smithers remains confident it can complete the project, despite a decision by the B.C. government to suspend its environmental assessment until an investigation into the Mount Polley mine dam breach is completed. Pacific Booker Minerals “will comply with all the recommendations made by the independent engineering investigation and review panel and will construct and operate the Morrison mine in compliance with industry best practices, using proven technology and in full compliance with all permit requirements,” company director Erik Tornquist said in a statement. Environment Minister Mary Polak and Energy and Mines Minister announced the suspension this week. It’s the second setback the province has handed to Pacific Booker, which won a court decision last December after its permit was refused by the B.C. government.

One is pumping down the level of Polley Lake, the smaller lake next to the mine site that received a surge of water and tailings that plugged the outlet with an elevated water level. The other is reconstructing the breached section of the dam to prevent rain from carrying more tailings from the pond.

Rep chosen by council to replace McCrea Jennifer Feinberg The Progress City council reps have decided who will replace Cultus Lake Park Board Commissioner Bob McCrea in the wake of his sudden resignation from the board this week. Council approved David Renwick on Tuesday to replace McCrea on the Park Board, for the time remaining until the next election in November. “It’s a bit of an unusual situation,” noted Coun. Ken Huttema. McCrea, a former park board chair, told The Progress last week he was stepping down in order to devote his energy to getting new people elected in the upcoming fall elections. During his term on the board McCrea worked with residents to get the Cultus Lake Park Act amended, whereby the majority of the Board will now be elected by the residents of Cultus Lake.

Education misfire With a little more than a week left before Chilliwack students are supposed to return to the classroom, there seems little reason to think they will. Despite insistence from both sides that they want an agreement reached by Sept. 2, school yards will likely remain silent. Indeed, as the clock ticked down Thursday, government and the teachers’ union were still trading shots, this time it was over Education Minister’s Peter Fassbender’s comments in the media that, according to the BC Teachers’ Federation, broke an agreed-to media blackout. Of course, few believed that the two sides would find a negotiated settlement amid the lazy days of summer. The trajectory has always been toward a final showdown – one that is still coming. It is, after all, the government that holds all the cards. The BC Liberals are early in their (strong) mandate, meaning they are better able to weather the public backlash over the dispute. They have in their pocket a raft of public sector settlements that suggest a negotiated agreement is possible. And while there are many who are

angered by the government’s bargaining tactics, there are many others who argue the BCTF is asking too much and teachers have gone too far. The government also knows that teachers cannot stay off the job much longer. Their strike fund is dwindling, and their resources are drying up. And they know that those teachers who get fed up and leave the profession can be replaced by the hundreds of education graduates churned out each year by universities in B.C. and across the country. Meanwhile, parents who may feel the sting of increased childcare costs should the strike continue, have been offered the salve of a $40-a-day payment. BCTF negotiators may be hoping for a legislated settlement, one that would allow them to face their membership as bruised but not beaten combatants. But the fact is they have played their hand poorly. They have cost their members money that no settlement will recover. They have alienated their CUPE colleagues who suffer every day the schools remain closed. And they have underestimated the will of a government weary of more than two decades of conflict. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

Comedian’s death should shine light on depression In a drawer in the den lies a non-descript brown folder. It’s a bit tattered around the edges from years of use. Inside, memories are captured in photos. But these aren’t the standard family fare photos. They are signed photos of lead actors my husband Tom came to know when working on the sets of various features, movies of the week, or TV series during two decades in the movie production industry in Vancouver. One stands out. It is a simple, pleasant photo of the star of the feature Jumanji shot in Vancouver and New Hampshire 20 years ago and released in December 1995. In clear handwriting, the inscription on it reads, “To Tom and family, Love Robin Williams”. Love, and the laughter of love, symbolized Robin Williams who so tragically died by his own
hand last week. Over the years, Tom had worked around many A-list actors and producers of the day – Jean-Claude Van Damme, Cher yl Ladd, Richard Dean Anderson, Farah Fawcett, Henr y Winkler, director Frank Marshall – but it was Robin Williams who stood shoulders Margaret above all others. He was, to Tom, EVANS a gentleman’s gentleman. Not because he made people laugh or had that legendary ability to be funny. He was courteous, quiet, respectful, and interested in the work and contribution of everyone on set. He had this enormous humility that gave him a rare vulnerability. He was thoughtful
and took the time to stop and talk to the crew, get to know them by name, and to show that he genuinely cared about other people’s talents and skills. So when Williams’ untimely death hit the news last week it was an immense shock and threw a huge spotlight on the evils of depression and the staggering loss of someone so many of us had grown up with since his hilarious Mork & Mindy days. But the much-loved Oscarwinning (Good Will Hunting) actor battled demons for decades as he suffered severe depression, struggled with substance abuse, and more recently was diagnosed with the early stages of Parkinson’s disease. The 63-yearold has also had to struggle with financial commitments from two divorce settlements that put him in a position of needing to take

Progress
television and movie roles he really didn’t want to pursue. His passing is made all the more tragic given that depression is coming out of the closet – mental and brain disorders have always been stigmatized – and there is effective medication and help. He was, by all accounts, an extremely sensitive child who came to cope with anxiety and loneliness through comedy. His only companions, he once said, were his imagination. That isolation became the seeding ground where he learned to create crazy characters capable of doing things he wouldn’t do himself. The causes for suicide are far more complex than putting a toe tag on a convenient disease. Williams is once quoted as saying that “Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.”
But the event has certainly sparked a broader debate about depression and mental disorders that need to be taken seriously. Anyone given the right conditions can be vulnerable to depression yet, still, millions caught in its snare say little and struggle alone. Depression is real, common, and can be treated even though its complexities and individual profiles are challenging. Williams’ death has put the spotlight square on the need to push further to understand what is happening in the brain. With three mental conditions, his despair appeared absolute. No one can begin to understand the mindset of someone who has committed suicide. At home, we pray that Robin has found peace and that for others living with depression they get the help they need and deserve.

A call to curb government spending Re: B.C. back in black, deep in debt (B.C. Views, July 23). Tom Fletcher’s column on B.C.’s operating budget and debt touches on a balance that must be examined. Some capital investments are made to reduce operating cost – some of the new building costs at Royal Jubilee Hospital does that, for example. Some improve reliability – the earthquake resistant fire hall in View Royal for example. Some add capacity – sometimes to meet demand, sometimes “just because.” In your household there is a limit based on income. Similarly in business, borrowing has to be paid back – companies often get into financial trouble from debt, such as the dysfunctional Pacific Western Airlines culture in its expanded life as Canadian Airlines. Politicians do pay some attention because credit rating agen-
cy evaluations increase cost of borrowing. Occasionally one reforms, as the profligate Bob Rae did in Ontario after getting the province into financial trouble. Provincial politicians tend to be profligate in spending, including on grandiose projects – Ontario being a current example of huge projects and mis-managed deals that will burden Ontario taxpayers for decades. (And the rest of us, because of the federal government’s crazy system of transfer payments that rescue the foolish.) Every election they try to buy votes by promising the unaffordable. Governments must cut activities. The B.C. government has not addressed barriers to employment created by its quotas in agriculture and transportation, for example. It continues to spend on handouts to moochers, including companies that won’t
‘The Sockeye Slayer’ This verse was written in response to the comment/threat from a riverbank fisherman yesterday as my dog and I did our usual rounds at the river on Island 22. Was I frightened, yes, somewhat, but more sad to think these men were so sour and angry to even think of shooting a dog while they were fishing recreationally. Do they carry guns? In Canada? I don’t know. I had always thought riverbank fishermen were gentleman sportsmen. Not so much anymore: We walk the banks of the mighty muddy at least 300 joyous days of the year. My gallumphing pup and I, who sniffs, runs, swims and plays No matter the season, ne’er reason to fear. That is, until the season of the sockeye slayer begins. Like an apparition in the mist, his trudging form comes in. His countenance is fury, as he stakes his 15 feet. A grubstake territory, his bitter claim is what we meet. He sees not the beauty, no peace shall he find, so burdened by his obsession, sockeye only on his mind. Warning, warning, do not approach this fishing troll His missions is his sockeye and his perimeter control. He threatens with a bullet, if my dog should come near Her usual swimming place, every other day of the year. His entitlement to solitude rests in his furrowed brow, No kindness nor pleasantries exist within his ken or knowhow. Approach him not, and greet him not in his misery For he is a spawn of the bitter depths, a sorry man is he. I’ll keep my dog at bay so not to provoke the men who slay And ask the good Lord for mercy on these souls so lost in play.
invest in their own capability by training employees. And on public relations, as if most voters believe much of it. At the same time, government must protect against initiation of force. The NDP added an additional cost barrier to individuals seeing justice – court costs. The B.C. “Liberals” have not handled criminals and mentally ill people well, and we can expect from their history of excusing behaviour that the NDP will not when they gain power again. Voters in B.C. have an opportunity to reduce operational spending by insisting on cutting activities such as interference with honest people’s attempt to build and earn, endless reports, and fancy flower beds. I advocate the savings be put into the reason for government – protecting individuals against initiation of force, which at the municipal level is by policing.

Another insult to teachers
While we had been hoping that the news about Mr. Ready’s willingness to mediate a settlement for teachers meant that we’d be back in schools soon, all such hope was dashed when we learned about BCPSEA’s latest letter to our union. They confirmed that we are locked out, but that we are free to volunteer our time to set up our classrooms and to prepare for the new school year. What other group of working adults would be expected to accept the kind of abuse that this government has been heaping on teachers? I really hope that if the only good thing that comes out of this latest action by BCPSEA is that it will lay to rest the false analogy of the BCTF and the government being like divorcing parents. That analogy can only be valid if one spouse has beaten the other and then expects them to get up off the floor and prepare dinner.

On January 10th 2014, the Learning Together Childcare Centre (LTCC) opened its doors in Chilliwack. The LTCC is a non-profit child care centre that offers a nurturing environment, where young children can grow through play-based learning. Since January we have seen enrollment from working families, students, parents attending college and parents looking for work. As the Early Years Childcare Coordinator, Debbie Onucki has had the opportunity to interact with numerous families. It has been rewarding for her to receive positive feedback from the parents. “Knowing my girls were going to be in a new, clean daycare with caring staff made me feel comfortable going back to work full time. I’m so thankful they look forward to going to daycare every morning. This helps make the transition back to work less stressful for me and my family.“ The Centre has a qualified team of Licensed Early Childhood Educators with diplomas in Infant Toddler and Special needs training, along with First Aid and professional development. They provide licensed child care for ages 2 months to 5 years with 12 infant toddler spaces and 20 spaces available for ages 3-5. Child care subsidy is accepted and hours are 7:30–5:30. For more information and to register, please contact Debbie Onucki at 604-819-3701.

Malaika Walsh, 14, has been hand-stitching sock boys for four years, and selling them for almost just as long. This Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., she’ll be selling $5 Sock Boys outside Rustic Soap Co. as part of the annual Greendale Sampler. For more information on the sampler, visit the website www.greendalecountrysampler.com. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Sock Boys take over Greendale Sampler Katie Bartel The Progress Who knew a stained, old sock could strike a business? On New Year’s Eve, four years ago, Malaika Walsh, then 10 years old, was sitting amongst a mound of fabric scraps, practicing her newly learned sewing skills, when a lone, stained, white sock with a faded lavender heel and toe caught her eye. This sock, she knew, had had a lonely existence for months, no pair for it to be found anywhere in the confines of her Greendale home. When most people would have given up on it, thrown it in the trash, the attachment that only young people can truly understand had Malaika holding on to it. She couldn’t throw it out, there was a force to it, something keeping it near.
That evening she found out. Hmm… she thought. Hmm… she pondered. Hmm… Malaika whipped out her sketchpad, penciled in a quick pattern, got out the scissors, needle and thread, and started hand stitching. Sock Boy was born. A stuffed boy, with a bulbous head made from the toe of the sock, its body from the sock’s heel, long, spindly arms and legs, and two eyes and a smile drawn on with permanent black marker. For four years Malaika, now 14, has been selling her Sock Boys. This weekend, as part of the Greendale Sampler, she’ll have a booth set up outside her mom’s shop, Rustic Soap Co., with a colourful mix of $5 Sock Boys to choose from. “It was just one of those ideas,”
DARE needs community support
she shrugged. “I just kinda started cutting it up … and then I thought it would be cool to make a little army of sock people.” By her 19th creation, then made from solo socks not eaten by the laundry monster, and one expensive sock mistaken as a throwaway, Malaika’s mom Tawnya Walsh, owner of Rustic Soap Co., put a bug in her ear. Maybe you should start selling them, she suggested. “She had made so many and they were getting so cute,” said Walsh. And so started Malaika’s Sock Boy business.. As of last week, Malaika had made 106 Sock Boys and sold 88; her 100th Sock Boy, a purple argyle creation, was sold almost unnoticed. Just like Homer Simpson, Sock Boy has evolved over the years.
Without the community, Chilliwack’s DARE program wouldn’t be the success it is today. Last year, 140 Grade 5 and 6 students in Chilliwack were taught the internationally recognized Drug Abuse Resistance Education program – largely in part thanks to the $2,300 donated from the community. The donations were received from Chilliwack Mount Cheam Rotary Club, Dogwood Monarch Lions, Kiwanis Club of Sardis, Kiwanis Club of Chilliwack, and
“Well, the legs are shorter and the body is definitely not as long anymore, his smile is a little more turned up,” said Malaika. As well, all Sock Boys are now made from 100 per cent new socks. “That’s the most asked question I get,” she said. “’Have the socks been used before?’” Malaika still has her first; Sacky, she calls him. He’s been to Vancouver, Fiji, California, Switzerland and Germany – and has a gallery of photos to prove it. When asked if she’d ever sell him, her nose scrunched up as she slowly shook her head. Not even an exorbitant amount of money could see her parting ways with her beloved Sacky. “He’s my favourite,” she said. “He was the first; he was my inspiration.” Stains and all.
Royal Canadian Legion #4. DARE is a program meant to empower school-aged children with the critical thinking and life skills necessary to choose a drug-free life.

driveway Escaping the city heat for the cool of the high country On a muggy, scorching hot summer’s day, what better vehicle than the aptly named Highlander for a high-altitude scenic drive to find some cool, crisp mountain air and sink a foot in a glacier. All-new for 2014, Highlander Hybrid is the fuel-efficient and eco-friendlier version of what Toyota describes as its midsized SUV, but it sure looks and feels bigger than most in this class, plus it can seat up to seven (or eight). Wider and longer than last year, this Highlander is also lower and, more importantly from a driving perspective, it has a lower centre of gravity. There was a time when Highlander looked like an SUV, with an angular two-box design. Its styling lines have softened with successive redesigns and now if you put Highlander beside its Camry-based wagon sibling, the Venza, you need a second look to tell them apart. Not sure if that’s a good thing, but I do like its more car-like driving dynamics. Not far south of the Canadian border, Mount Baker is a
glacier-covered mountain that rises 3,286 m (10,781 ft) above sea level, which is over 900 m (3,000 ft) higher than Whistler, the best-known mountain in BC. Mount Baker is also regarded as the second most active volcano in the Cascade Mountain Range, after Mount St. Helens, but there’s been nary a puff since 1880.The Mount Baker Highway (Hwy. 542) starts in Bellingham (exit #255 off the I-5), winds east through a number of small communities and offers some interesting side tours along the way, before it climbs steeply and

ends at Artist Point (1,567 m / 5,140 ft.). This large parking lot, which is about 10 km beyond the ski area, is closed during the winter months and has spectacular panoramic views, plus a selection of great hiking trails. The highway crosses the Nooksack River at Nugent’s Corner and tracks east, alongside the north fork of the river, through old growth areas in the Mount Baker Snoqualmie National Forest. Allow about 1.5 hours of leisurely drive time in each direction. You’ll also need a ($5) day pass to park, which you get from
automated dispensers at the Glacier Public Service Center or at Heather Meadows near the skiing area. The Hybrid Synergy Drive system in Highlander uses a 3.5L Atkinson Cycle V6 gas engine, a high torque electric motor-generator and powerful traction battery. It boasts 10 additional horsepower (280 net horsepower) over the gasonly model, yet uses almost 30 per cent less fuel. Although Toyota has done an admirable job of masking it, Highlander Hybrid is a weighty (2,200 kg) vehicle, and has the usual character-
istics of a heavy vehicle. It’s more than fine in a straight line and while handling is laudably predictable, it didn’t seem to like being tossed around on the twisty sections of the highway. Then again, that’s the norm in this class of vehicle. Side Trips: Mount Baker Vineyards and Winery has a tasting room, offers tours, has a picnic area and is open Thursday through Sunday,

You probably will recover that extra investment in this Highlander hybrid while doing your ecopart to save a world that looks pretty good from high up on Mount Baker.

continued from page 21
can also spot the historic Bethany Church (built in 1907) landmark. Nooksack Falls is just a short (and groomed) gravel road off the highway about 11 km (7 ml) east of Glacier, which is the last community along the highway. You do have to scramble over some (slippery when wet) rocks to get to a good (and safe) fenced viewing area. The water takes a spectacular 30 m (100 ft) plunge, so a close-up view is definitely worth the extra effort. Interesting Eating Places: Anthony’s is an excellent choice for lunch or dinner in Bellingham. Situated in the harbour area it overlooks the marina and has views of the San Juan Islands. Great service, great fare (especially the seafood), all tables come with a view and the prices are very reasonable, compared to Vancouver. Web site: anthonys.com The North Fork Brewery, Pizzeria, Beer Shrine and Wedding Chapel is an out of the ordinary and rewarding halfway (going or returning) restaurant stop on the Mount Baker Highway that’s known locally as “The Shrine”. Don’t be put off by the long name or its rustic appearance as the food is delicious and there’s an awesome selection of fresh brewed-on-site handcrafted beers. Web site: northforkbrewery. com Last Word: A hybrid edition of the Toyota Highlander costs an additional $6,000 to $8,000. Yes, you probably will recover that extra investment in this hybrid while doing your eco-part to save a world that looks pretty good from high up on Mount Baker.

All-Wheel Drive is Subaru’s secret sauce windows and crop the roof a tad, to provide a sleeker profile. The front grille now has a more polished look but the wheel size is only 17-inches, making the car look too big for the size and track of the wheels. The STI only comes with 18-inch wheels that are too small as well. One big advantage is the side mirrors have been moved from the windshield pillar to the door, making the side class much bigger for improved outward visibility. Inside: As wonderful as the last WRX was in terms of handling and power, the interior let it down. It was too bland, especially considering
incredibly popular, once again, because they come with AWD and the closest competitors do not. Looks: Back in 2011, Subaru introduced the WRX to look like the bolder and more powerful STI version, complete with bulging fender flares, hood scoops and aggressive attitude. This really helped to propel the WRX into another gear in terms of sales. To follow up on this idea, the latest 2015 model too has an edgy design similar to the more powerful STI version. It is the same overall length as the last model but the wheelbase is longer, making bigger doors and the designers were able to slope the front and rear
If a car is offered with front-wheel drive or AWD, most people will go for the latter.

The dash is covered with soft touch materials, the centre console has a better design, with a three easy to use heat and ventilation controls. The rest of the dash has been cleaned up with a much better looking design and more attention to colours and textures.

Subaru has been on a tear over the last few years, selling more and more vehicles to Canadians who the idea of owning a Japanese engineered all wheel drive (AWD) car. AWD is the secret sauce. We live in a country with inclement weather and the trend is to AWD as people experience it and want it in their next vehicle. If a car is offered with front-wheel drive (FWD) or AWD, most people will go for the latter. Subaru provides this as standard equipment on all its cars, except the sporty BRZ that was co-developed with Toyota. Subaru then layers on more power and sporty

Other than the new automatic, the most notable change is the much stiffer suspension and tighter steering feel. The front springs are 39% stiffer than the last WRX and the rears are 62 percent stiffer. This, along with a more rigid platform and tighter steering makes a very sharp feeling car.

stay connected. The armrest for the driver is far too low to be of any use and the speedo and tach readouts are far too small to read quickly. Plus, the key needs to be used to release the trunk; I couldn’t find a trunk resale anywhere on the car. What the WRX does have is room for all passengers with big doors and very easy access, with a bigger trunk (once you can get it open) than the last model. Drive: What the WRX is all about is providing a sporty drive and now it is available to a wider range of buyers thanks to a new automatic transmission. Subaru wants to sell more cars, not less, and by adding an automatic for a generation of buyers who might not know how to drive stick, is a major step. This is not your average automatic, it is a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that has one gear but the ratio of the gear is changed. This, along with the standard 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo with 268hp, produces a surprising snap at all speeds. Yes, a 6-speed automatic is

Rhythm Reelers look to share another fun season of dance mind to be able to perform all the moves. Friendship: Belonging to a square dance club and dancing weekly usually results in a new circle of friends (they may even be your neighbours), all with a mutual enjoyment of square dancing. Once you have learned the moves, you can dance in most countries around the world as English is the language of choice whether you are in Germany, England, Japan, etc. Food: Social barn dance evenings usually started with a pot luck dinner then into an evening of dancing which usually included square dancing. Today, the club has several dances a year which follow much the same tradition, however, not necessarily in a barn. Oktoberfest, baron-ofbeef dance and RallyIn-The-Valley weekend dance include dinners. The Chilliwack Rhythm Reelers will be starting their 60th year of square and round dancing for Mainstream and Plus dancers on Monday evenings (except holidays) at the Atchelitz Hall on Lickman Road commencing Sept. 8 2014. Round dance instructions begins at 6:30 p.m. and square dancing interspersed with round dancing from 7 p.m. until 9:30 p.m. However, this year, a new dancer class will be held at the Greendale Elementary School gymnasium from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m. on Thursday evenings. Please bring inside shoes that will not damage the gymnasium floor. New dancer class-

The Chilliwack Rhythm Reelers Square and Round Dance Club will be starting its 60th year of square dancing in September, 2014. Square dancing is all about fitness, fun, friendship and food. A lot has changed in those 60 years, but then, a lot is still the same. What has changed is the music. When the club started in 1955, most of the music was countr y and western performers with the strum of the guitar or twang of the banjo and possibly a fiddle or two and something filling in for percussion. This is now known as ‘old time’ music. Today, a blend of 70s, 80s and even 90s stars such as Shania Twain and Elvis Presley are used with the odd bit of ‘old time’ music thrown in for nostalgia reasons to what is now called ‘modern’ square dancing. Fitness: Health studies by the American National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute found that dancing lowers coronary heart disease risk, decreases blood pressure and helps your weight management. A two-hour evening of square dancing is said to equate to a six kilometre hike (four miles in 1955). This keeps the body in shape and the mind alert for a healthier life. Fun: Some things never change with square dancing and that is the fun part, it is still a lot of fun and most of the moves are tried and true. The moves are ‘called’ to the rhythm of the music by a Caller and the dancer has to keep a keen ear and sharp

Hockey opportunity for Epp Keeping K i pace Eric J. Welsh, The Progress
Chilliwack’s Wade Epp will play professional hockey this fall, signing a twoway minor-pro contract. Epp has inked his two way deal with the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League and the South Carolina Stingrays of the ECHL. Both teams are minor league affiliates of the National Hockey League’s Washington Capitals. Epp, who’s been working out at Chilliwack’s Xceed Training Center under the guidance of Paul Nicolls, leaves Sept. 10 for the Capitals rookie camp. “From there I either stay with them for their main camp or they send me down to Hershey’s camp,” Epp explained. “And from there I either stay with Hershey or I go down to South Carolina.” Epp, 25 years old, just finished a nice run at the University of Northern Michigan, logging 141 games for the Wildcats. “A really good time and I wouldn’t trade those years for anything,” he said, smiling. “I met a lot of great people, got a degree in marketing and learned a lot about myself. I couldn’t be happier with my time there.” He learned to do laundry, cook dinners and be
self-sufficient, acquiring Not an uncommon problem skills that will serve him for younger players. “Preparing for each well. “I went there as a 20 year game, getting into a routine old and grew up a lot,” he that helps me bring what I said. “I lived by myself and need to bring each night,” learned quickly how to take he said. “Hockey is a very care of things like laundry, mental game with a lot of ups and downs.

“I’ve been away from home since I was 18, so it’s nothing new to me,” he said. “I don’t know much about Hershey, other than they make chocolate and their AHL team is one of the most storied franchises in that league.” In a perfect world, Epp would never see the North Charleston Coliseum, home of the Stingrays. But he’s a realist, and expects he’ll spend 2014-15 bouncing between leagues. Obviously my goal is to play at the highest level, but it’s a very competitive game,” he reasoned. “If I were sent down, hopefully it would be because the coaches felt I could progress and develop better at that level. And hopefully I would get another shot with Hershey, so I wouldn’t get discouraged.” With a degree in his back pocket, Epp doesn’t need to play hockey. But the opportunity to get paid to play is too hard to pass up. “As a kid, all I ever wanted to do was play in the NHL. But as you get older you realize what the chances are of that actually happening,” he said. “I have no problem playing minor-pro. If I ever got a shot to play in the NHL, that’d be awesome. But if not, that’s the way it goes and I’d be happy to have had this opportunity. You can make a decent living doing this.”
Royalwood hosting year-end tournaments
BC Golf’s 2014 Girls’ and Boys’ Juvenile Championships will be contested August 26–28 at Chilliwack’s Royalwood Golf Course. The province’s finest 16-and-under golfers will tackle 54 holes, trying to dethrone the defending champs. The brother and sister duo of Alex and Sumie
Francois return to defend their crowns. If successful, they’ll become the first repeat winners in tournament history. Alex ran away with last year’s title, finishing seven strokes ahead of the field with rounds of 70-69-68 at Courtenay’s Crown Isle Golf Club. 2014 BC Games gold medalist, Sy Lovan, will look to improve on last year’s fourth place finish in his final year of eligibility. Last year’s bantam champion, 15 year old Roy Kang, is another one to watch after a successful 2014 campaign that included a sixth place finish at the British
Columbia Amateur. The boys compete in 54 holes of stroke-play with a cut to 60 and ties after 36 holes. A number of familiar names will challenge Sumie for the girls title. 2014 BC Junior Girls’ champion, Naomi Ko finished in a tie for second at the 2013 Juvenile Girls’ Championship and has had a strong, title-earning season. Shirin Anjarwalla, who recently won a gold medal, is another name to watch. Anjarwalla led for a portion of last year’s competition but a tough third round (76) saw her slip to fourth.
The girls will compete in 54 holes of stroke-play competition with no cut, unless the field size warrants. A zone team competition will be held for both boys and girls with four-person teams selected prior to the beginning of competition. The low three of four scores each day count towards the team score. The competition is conducted over 36 holes. Both the boys and girls will also compete in the best-ball competition. Players may select a partner from the field prior to the start of play on day one and compete through 54 holes.
The Chilliwack Chiefs are looking for volunteers for the 2014-15 BCHL season. In particular, the team needs ushers to help fans find their way around Prospera Centre. Contact Chiefs office manager Andrea Laycock at the Chiefs office for more details. Call her at 604-392-4433 or email info@chilliwackchiefs.net
Don’t feel intimidated to speak up and let them know it’s time to speed things up, writes Jennifer Greggain In today’s column, Chilliwack Golf Academy instruc-tor Jennifer Greggain talks about keeping up on the golff course. Many of my students struggle with rounds of golff that start off well, but then play poorly when their group falls behind. Inevitably, stress starts to build as these players rush through their routines in an attempt to keep up. Here are some tips that can help you pick up the pace without w ithout rushing your routine. What many golfers don’t realize is your group’s pace of play should be determined by the group in front off yyou, ou, not the group behind you. When you reach the tee box of a hole and notice thatt the group in front of you is not on the fairway and is no longer on the green, your group is ‘out of position,’ and is at least one hole behind. If you ever notice there’s some space between yourr group and the group in front of you, don’t feel embarrassed or ashamed to let the rest of your group know. I advise politely saying something like, ‘looks like we’re w e’re a bit behind now, let’s pick up the pace a bit.’ Be sure to say this as soon as possible in the round once you notice you’re group is falling back, as it will make it much easier to catch up. Again, don’t feel intimidated to speak up to your group to let them know w its time to speed things up. Next, don’t panic! Many players start to feel stressed when they realize they are out of position. This distraction can often be a detriment to your game, and cause you to not only playy worse, w orse, but also slower. Make sure you do not feel rushed while actually y taking your shot, as this can result in poor tempo and timing. Remember there are several ways to speed up yourr play without ‘rushing’ your swing. One way to easily pick up the pace is to start playing ‘Ready Golf.’ As the name implies, this means to go ahead and play when you’re ready, and to not worryy about playing with ‘honours.’ You should always be ready to hit with your club, ball and tee in hand, and take your turn as soon as is safely y possibly. Make sure everyone in your group is watching where w here the shots are going and ending up. With everyone’s help in the group, you can save time looking forr errant golf shots. Once you get to the green, there are still a few ways yyou ou can shave off some time to your round. First, as you approach the green, make sure you place your golf bag on the side of the green where you would w ould walk to the tee box of the next hole. Also, be sure to get yourself ready for your shot, including marking and reading the green, when others are taking theirr turn. Finishing short putts rather than marking them can also speed up your play. If you’re still finding it difficult to keep up with the group in front of you, be sure to offer the group behind yyou ou the option ‘play through.’ And always remember that rushing through yourr shots can actually slow down your game. Jennifer teaches golf to adults and juniors at the Chilliwack Golf Academy. She played professionally on tour for over 10 years, including two on the LPGA. She was named the 2010 CN Canadian Women’s Tour Low Teaching Pro of the Year, and is now lead instructor off the Sardis Golf Academy.

Foiled by Falcons The University of the Fraser Valley Cascades lost 3-2 to the Langara Falcons in exhibition action Sunday. Down 1-0 nine minutes in on their home pitch at Abbotsford secondary school, the Cascades equalized in the 26th minute on a Colton Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill strike. The right-back evaded four Langara defenders as he went from one side of the field to the other, finishing with a perfect shot from inside the 18 yard box Grant Fadden gave his team a 2-1 lead in the 79th minute, only to see the Falcons roar back. Langara scored off a set piece in the 84th minute and netted the winner on a penalty shot in the 87th minute. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m disappointed in the result, but the performance is what matters really at this stage of the game,â&#x20AC;? said Cascades coach

because they do have teachers as coaches,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve talked to all of our upcoming opponents, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all on. We go to Nanaimo to play John Barsby and have Prince George coming
down here. Seaquam and Rick Hansen are ready to play, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our first four weeks.â&#x20AC;? Right now there are no pickets set up outside of the school. Come September there probably will be, creat-
ing the potential for discomfort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really want to cross a picket line, but they usually take it down by four or five, and we could practice in the evening,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I honestly donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
know what to expect. All I know is I got the letter from BC School Sports in the summer telling me to go ahead, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going ahead.â&#x20AC;? See grahamfootball. ca for more information.

GW Grahamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football program will proceed uninterrupted by any teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; job action. Grizzlies head coach Laurie Smith confirmed Monday that any strike would have to drag on for a long time before it impacted his team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been told by BC School Sports and BC High School Football to go ahead,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Until the strike is resolved, every game would be considered an exhibition game. But our first three games are exhibition games anyways, so if a strike is been resolved by the end of September, nothing changes for us.â&#x20AC;? GWG is able to carry on because only one of the coaches is employed as a teacher. Athletic director Jake Mouritzen is not attending any football-related events (practices, games). Smith and the rest of his staff are community volunteers. GWG principal Dan Heisler is overseeing training camp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a couple schools that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to start training camps
