Cheam chief demands immediate opening of FN fishery Frustration as aboriginal fishery boats sit idle Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A record run of Fraser sockeye is no time to be keeping Cheam fishing boats off the river. That’s the gist of a letter, obtained by The Progress, dated Aug. 25 from Cheam First Nation Chief Sidney Douglas, addressed to federal Fisheries Minister Gail Shea. DFO’s 2014 management and allocation decisions have caused “serious violations” of the Cheam’s aboriginal rights and title, Chief Douglas argues in the correspondence. “There’s a lot of fish out there,” said Douglas in an interview about the letter. Recent court cases cementing aboriginal rights and title are the backdrop of the official request from the band that “aboriginal fisheries be opened immediately.” At the time of the letter, there were commercial boats and recreational fisheries on the Fraser, but not aboriginal fishers, as the food, social and ceremonial fishing quota had been filled, despite peak returns. Chief Douglas said he was being pressured, like other Sto:lo leaders right now, by their community members who are frustrated sitting idle on shore, watching everyone else fish. “Our culture and the lives of our people centre on fishing during this time of year, our people come together and gather at the river to fish and exercise their rights. “It is unacceptable in a year of record returns of Fraser River Sockeye salmon, to prohibit our people from fishing.”

Federation president Jim Iker by Education Minister Peter Fassbender and government negotiator Peter Cameron. There was no deal between the two sides but both sides said progress was made in the 90-minute meeting Wednesday afternoon and mediator Vince Ready was to begin exploratory talks Thursday. The BCTF has not yet responded to the proposal but Iker indicated he needed union membership approval to halt picketing and urged full mediation to begin immediately. Fassbender told Black Press he’s surprised and disappoint-

ed the union head wouldn’t quickly agree to a strike suspension. “I had hoped, maybe unrealistically, that Mr. Iker was in a position to agree that there was nothing there that compromised their ability to negotiate with a mediator in the room, that we could see school commence on Tuesday so that students can learn and teachers can be paid,” the minister said. “We are just asking them to voluntarily stand down and let classes start while the parties are in mediation.” The B.C.

also suspend lockout activity if the truce goes ahead. Ready is only expected to enter full mediation if he decides the two sides get close enough to put a deal in reach. Fassbender’s proposal also calls on the union to set aside potential grievances arising from the last court ruling on class size and composition, now under appeal by the province. He said that would leave the issue – potentially a liability of nearly $250 million a year for the province – to the court appeal. Continued: STRIKE/ p12

Drift card drop to simulate Kinder Morgan oil spill Kolby Solinsky Black Press While Kinder Morgan was beginning sur vey work on Burnaby Mountain this week, the City of Vancouver was holding a pipeline spill simulation on the Fraser River, releasing yellow cards to estimate the reach of a potential oil spill. Vancouver launched the simulation in cooperation with the Rainforest Conser vation Foundation and the Georgia Strait Alliance, on both the Fraser and Burrard Inlet. The drift cards consist of small pieces of plywood marked with numbers, said Andy Rosenberger of the Rainforest Conservation Foundation. “We take them and we put them into the river. Eventually, they will wash up on shore,” he said. The yellow cards are biodegradable and carry with them messages, allowing those who find them to enter their location on the test’s

interactive Salish Sea Spill Map at salishseaspillmap.org. “Every single card has a distinct identification number that we can track,” said Ross Dixon of the Rainforest Conservation Foundation. “We track the exact location of where the cards end up, so we have an indication of the potential spatial extent of an oil spill affecting this area.” The $5.4-billion Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project aims to twin the existing 60-year-old pipeline that carries petroleum from Alberta through Chilliwack to Kinder Morgan’s tanker terminal in Burnaby on Burrard Inlet. The new pipeline would tunnel under the Fraser River near the Port Mann Bridge, where some drift cards were released Tuesday. The twinning would nearly triple Trans Mountain’s capacity to 890,000 barrels of oil per day and greatly increase the number of tankers passing through Vancouver harbour. Carey Johannesson, a project

lead for the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, told Black Press the route through Burnaby Mountain is the final piece that still needs to be assessed to satisfy the National Energy Board. “When you do a project of this nature, you know there’s going to be all kinds of different opinions about the project,” Johannesson said. “We’re looking at it from the perspective that it’s a national project. There’s going to be a full opportunity for people, including the City of Burnaby, to make presentations and to provide information to the board.” The City of Burnaby has vowed to do what it can to block the project. At the site of the simulation, the George Strait Alliance’s Alexandra Woodsworth reiterated her group’s concern for the pipeline and for what a spill would do to the water in and around Vancouver and B.C. “There is no cure once the oil hits the water,” she said. “We’re looking at 15, 20, 30 per cent

Two overnight fires spark suspicion Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Fire and police officials say they are investigating two fires that appear to have been deliberately set near downtown Chilliwack. They also seem unrelated at this point in the investigation, say officials. The first saw firefighters from Chilliwack fire halls 1 and 4 responding to a house

fire in the 46000-block of Princess Avenue around midnight on Aug. 28. Flames and smoke were coming from the second floor bedroom of a two storey house. Firefighters quickly knocked down the flames and extinguished the fire. “This fire appears to be deliberately set and is under investigation by Chilliwack Fire Department and RCMP

fire investigators,” said assistant fire chief Mike Bourdon. The second incident was at 2 a.m. Wednesday. An alert resident reported “a gas can on fire” at the rear exit door of a building in the 9300-block of Edward Street. “When firefighters from Chilliwack fire hall 1 arrived, the fire had been extinguished by the occupant using a dry chemical fire extinguisher. There was no structure dam-

age to the building.” Again there were no civilian or firefighter injuries. In this case as well, the fire appears to be deliberately set and is under investigation by both fire and police. Anyone with info about either incident is asked to call the RCMP at 604-7924611 or anonymously through Crimestoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477) or www.chilliwackcrimestoppers.ca

It’s never too early to think about what to put on your bucket list. The Bucket List Festival is set for Sept. 27 at the Cultural Centre, brought to you by Chilliwack Hospice Society and the Division of Family Practice. Several engaging speakers will be helping attendees with practical ideas to make the most of their lives. “We thought the Bucket List Festival was a great idea for Chilliwack,” said Liz Lynch, executive director of Chilliwack Hospice Society. It dovetails with their educational mandate, she says, and did extremely well when it was held in the founding city of Victoria last year. Author and motivational speaker Glenda Standeven, will be the emcee for the Saturday event, which runs from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., with a light lunch provided. The theme of the event is about getting the most out of life when it’s most precious. Presenters include: Dr. Pippa Hawley, founder of the Bucket List Festivals, Gaby Eirew, Director, of Record Me Now, a free web-based app for creating an audio-video legacy, Cari Borenko Hoffman, Fraser Health Advance Care Planning Project Coordinator, Ken Williams, retired RCMP police officer and Bucket List Adventurer, Doug Rollheiser, Owner/Manager, Roblin Travel, and Dr. Chantal Chris, Chilliwack Division of Family Practice.

Crafts and music highlight Harrison this weekend Harrison Craft Market and Bands on the Beach British Columbia is home to a vast and diverse community of professional artisans and crafters. This Labour Day weekend the Harrison Festival Society will be showcasing a sampling of this creative culture at their annual Harrison Craft Market, Aug. 30 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and August 31 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in and around the Harrison Memorial Hall. Artisans and crafters from as far away as the Okanagan and Kootenay regions will be joining a strong showing from the local Fraser Valley. “The Fraser Valley has a vibrant arts scene and we are very pleased to be welcoming such a broad selection of unique local vendors to our small lake side Village,” says Festival Society general manager Mel Dunster. The more than 30-plus vendors that make up this cozy indoor craft market offer the highest quality of a wide range of one-of-a-kind home decor, body care, food, fashion and artful creations amidst the small town atmosphere and hospitality of Harrison Hot Springs. “We are proud to support and nurture locally produced

handmade products,” says Dunster. “As a grassroots organization we know firsthand the importance of community minded small business in contributing to healthy communities.” An annual community event for more than 20 years, this market is one of the main fundraising activities for the Harrison Festival Society with 10% commission collected on all vendor sales to help support the Societies' year round events.

“Not everyone realizes that we present world class entertainment throughout the year,” says Dunster, “and that we have been doing so for almost as long as we have been organizing the July Harrison Festival of the Arts.” This fall will mark the Society’s 26th season of performing arts with an opening concert Oct. 4 featuring captivating Dene singer/songwriter Leela Gilday in the intimate Harrison Memorial Hall.

The annual Labour Day long weekend music festival is back. Bands on the Beach is a family friendly event that brings some of the best local musicians from the Fraser Valley to the shoreline of Harrison for two days of foot-stomping fun. Local musician Todd Richard headlines the event, and says it has been exciting to watch it grow over the past four years, as anticipation builds and new acts are able to participate. “Folks can experience and look forward to diversity in the acts with indie rock, country and country rock, folk, and blues rock,” says Richard. The bands set to perform between Saturday and Sunday include Nicki Meier, Amanda Thate, Whiskey Jane, GB Roots, Headwater, and Sean Hogan. With people traveling from all over Canada to attend Bands on the Beach, the event certainly helps to increase tourism, but Richard assures that it is more than just generating numbers. “It gives folks something more to do,” he says. “They get to experience some live music on what's quickly being known as the most beautiful backdrop for an outdoor concert.” Robert Reyerse of Tourism Harrison agrees. “This is one of the few free festival concerts and it has really added to Harrison’s reputation as a great music destination,” he says. Bands on the Beach takes place on August 30 and 31, rain or shine. In the event of poor weather, the location will be moved to the St. Alice Hall at the Harrison Hotel property.

QUESTION: Is it true you can achieve a soft face lift with the use of cosmetic fillers? Will the results look natural? - Jane, Aldergrove

ANSWER:

Dr. Marianna Snyman The Skin Care Specialist

1 YR WORTH OF SCHOOL SUPPLIES + 1 BACKPACK ASK HOW YOU CAN HELP

As we age the bones of the face actually soften back as does the fat in the fat pockets of the face. At the same time our skin expands due to the effects of natural aging. In other words the table cloth is now too big for the table. With the Soft Lift we combine the smoothing effect of Botox with the filling effect of Juvederm fillers. The result is a natural looking lift with no downtime, done in just one treatment!

Economic opportunities like this purse-seining opening near Island 22 a few years ago, should not affect FSC allocations, says Cheam chief

The allocations can’t meet the needs of the Cheam, and this could lead to hardships in the community this winter. “Some of the numbers being used for these allocations were put into place in the early 1990s,” said Chief Douglas. “Our population is growing. Our families are growing but the allocation of salmon is not growing.”

The Supreme Court of Canada ruling on the Tsilhqot’in “only reinforced the need for DFO to take immediate action,” to recognize Cheam rights and title, he wrote in the letter. Their fisher y, “the most closely monitored fishery in the world, where every single fish is counted,” is in sharp contrast with the fact that no real-time data exists for the commercial and recreational fisheries. “So we’re monitored to death, whereas the other fisheries don’t keep as stringent a count.” He did not want members to be penalized for participating in economic opportunity fisheries, in terms of diminishing FSC allotment. “We seem to be at the bottom of the totem pole, rather than second in priority as we should be,” he said. However at the court level there is ever y expectation that the trend toward recognizing title will continue. “As an immediate action we demand that our aboriginal fishery be immediately opened and communal fishing licences be issued for our indigenous communities, so our people can fish and benefit in this year of peak returns. “If DFO does not take the necessar y actions, we will directly exercise our aboriginal title and rights.” A DFO media spokesperson said the Fisheries and Oceans Canada depar tment would not comment on the letter, and that Minister Shea would be responding to the chief’s letter. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

UFV develops public portal for fire and police research A new public safety search portal developed by the University of the Fraser Valley will help publicservice decision-makers locate the information they need to make sound and justifiable decisions. Launched in August, 2014, the public-safety research portal provides public access to an extensive database of information about fire, police, drugs, and public safety. The portal is available on UFV’s Centre for Public Safety and Criminal Justice Research website at http://cjr.ufv.ca. “Today’s fire and police agencies are being asked to do more

with less, and to develop sustainable solutions based on evidence and best practices,” noted Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis, an adjunct professor at the UFV School of Criminology and Criminal Justice who helped spearhead the project. “This portal fills the growing need for a comprehensive source of research that can be accessed by those in the public service and the general public.” The UFV Centre for Public Safety and Criminal Justice Research took on the challenge of developing the database and portal after the need was identified at a

meeting of Defence Research and Development Canada’s Centre for Security Science (CSS) about two years ago. “Our Centre is committed to increasing the knowledge of everyone working in public safety and sharing best practices and research,” said Dr. Irwin Cohen, the Centre’s director and an associate professor in the UFV’s School of Criminology and Criminal Justice. “The portal is just one more way that we are trying to ensure that as many people as possible have access to the latest and best resources, research, and knowl-

edge in fire and public safety.” The portal provides access to the titles of thousands of reports, articles, books, legislation, and other data from Canada and around the world. All entries include author and publisher details, and some can be read online for free. Users of the portal can quickly hone in on the information they require by filtering their search results by publication date, source type (electronic resources, academic journals, books, reports and eBooks), subject, publisher, publication, language, location, and content pro-

Chilliwack RCMP urge caution during busy long weekend Get ready, the Labour Day weekend is upon us. Thousands of visitors will be streaming into the recreational jewel that is Chilliwack with its beautiful lakes, rivers and mountains. A long weekend looming also means extra enforcement effort from local police. “The Upper Fraser Valley RCMP, in conjunction with our partners, will be focusing on making the recreation areas and

our roads safe and enjoyable for everyone,” said Const. Ashley St. Germaine. It’s a little encouragement for the last long weekend of the 2014 summer. “We have seen tragedies this summer and it is devastating to the families and communities,” she said. They’re hoping a little warning and preventative messages will make people conscious about the need to make safe and wise deci-

sions. “We would like to have a tragedy-free weekend this Labour Day.” Police will be patrolling forestry service roads, local lakes, and campgrounds with an emphasis on impaired driving, for which there is zero tolerance. Speed enforcement and road blocks will be conducted throughout Upper Fraser Valley region.

vider. The database will continue to grow over time as new research becomes available. In addition to using the portal, visitors to http://cjr.ufv.ca can peruse dozens of research reports that have been produced by the Centre for Public Safety and Criminal Justice Research on fire, police, drugs and public safety topics. Plans are in the works to add reports from outside UFV to this research report section, and to allow other researchers to submit their reports to be posted on the website.

R AESIDE

The provincial government and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation have an assignment and it’s due next week: resolve this labour dispute. The teachers’ strike began in the spring semester and there’s now a real possibility it will impact the fall semester. There are no signs of progress or reasons for optimism. The B.C. Public Schools Employers’ Association, representing the government, and the BCTF, representing 40,000 teachers, claim not to be speaking publicly about the bargaining, but that’s OK, because there doesn’t seem to be any bargaining to speak of. The two sides continue to argue over wages and class size and composition, as they have for months. We kind of understand that there wasn’t an urgency to spend these last couple of months at the bargaining table, when summer holidays beckoned and back to school seemed a long way away. But somewhere along the line, both sides should have noticed that there was a deadline approaching. They should have circled the day after Labour Day in their homework planners and realized that’s when they have to submit their work to us – B.C. taxpayers and families – or risk a failing grade. As it stands right now, the government and the teachers should not be proud of the work they’re expected to hand in on Tuesday. Sure, they can spin their stubbornness as resolve and good intentions. They can throw us $40 a day, something shiny to distract us from what we really want. This Sept. 2 deadline matters to British Columbians. Our kids need to go to school, not just for an education, not just for a place to go, but for both those reasons and a million others. We knew school was going to be out for summer; we know school isn’t going to be out forever. It should be in session, as scheduled, or else both sides get an F for effort. ~ Black Press

Recent rumblings offer earthquake reminder Like all earthquakes, last week’s magnitude 6.0 earthquake in California’s Napa Valley came suddenly and without warning. And while predicting earthquakes is still a seismologist’s dream, our understanding of them is growing, if in intriguing ways. Last Sunday’s quake occurred near the north shore of San Pablo Bay. The bayshore areas in the San Francisco Bay region are underlaid by landfill and bay mud so they experience greater damage during earthquakes. The damage is caused by soil failure in the fills while the soft mud amplifies ground shaking. That’s a head’s up for similar situations in our own region when the next big quake comes. There were no fatalities but several hundred people needed hospital attention. There was a lot of damage to older buildings and highways. Gas and water mains were ruptured, fires trig-

gered, and power knocked out for thousands. As people watch the familiar fallout, those ‘what-if’ questions surface for our region. Earthquakes are complicated affairs and their reach isn’t just the immediate surroundings. Japanese researchers recently published a paper in the journal Science that detailed their obser vations of Margaret the response of EVANS volcanoes to the seismic waves produced by the great Tohoku-oki earthquake in 2011. They showed how earthquakes can impact volcanoes and an earthquake can help assess the risk of massive volcanic eruptions worldwide. That should be a head’s up for us given our high seismic landscape and active volcanoes to the south.

The Tohoku-oki earthquake was a magnitude 9.0 undersea megathrust quake 70 kilometres off the coast at a depth of 30 kilometres. Scientists analyzed over 70 terabytes of seismic data. In computer geek speak, one terabyte equals 1000 gigabytes. From all that data they found that the regions where the disturbances of the Earth’s crust were the greatest were not those where the shocks were the strongest. They were localized under volcanic regions, in Japan’s case under Mount Fuji. The findings support theories that the last eruption of Mount Fuji in 1707 could have been triggered by the giant 8.7 magnitude Hoei earthquake which took place 49 days before the eruption. At the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego, scientists have discovered the first evidence that deep earthquakes – those rupturing at over 400 kilometres below the surface – can

break much faster than ‘ordinary’ earthquakes. The findings have given seismologists new clues about the forces behind deep earthquakes as well as fast-breaking earthquakes striking near the surface. “Supershear” earthquakes have rupture speeds of four kilometres per second (9,000 miles/hour) or more. The rupture travels faster than the shear waves of seismic energy it radiates. Last year, the scientists discovered the first deep supershear earthquake while examining the aftershocks of a M8.3 earthquake off the Russian mainland. An aftershock of M6.7 ruptured at 640 kilometres below Earth’s surface at a speed of 8 kilometres per second. Understanding these deep, super-speed earthquakes may provide better understanding of supershear earthquakes close to the surface. Apparently the

1994 Northridge earthquake in California was similar in size and geometry to the Russian aftershock. Supershears have potential for more shaking and damage. Slipping around beneath our feet are tectonic plates setting us up for the Big One. From northern Vancouver Island to the Queen Charlotte Islands, the Pacific plate is sliding to the northwest at about 6 cm/year relative to the North America plate. The boundary between these two plates is the Queen Charlotte fault which is Canada’s equivalent of the San Andreas fault. Four large earthquakes have occurred along the fault line in the last hundred years including a M7 in 1929, a M8.1 in 1949 (causing a 500-kilometre segment of the fault to break), a M7.4 in l970 and a M7.7 in 2012.

Look beyond the numbers in ongoing education dispute With Sept. 2 just around the corner, the bargaining impasse between the provincial government and the BC Teachers’ Federation hinges on numbers – numbers about wages, benefits and class size. But behind those numbers are over half a million students who are waiting anxiously to start their school year on time. Whether it is their very first day in kindergarten or the beginning of their last year as a high school student, they are the reason any of those other numbers matter. School trustees across B.C. want our schools open and ready for students on September 2. We have called on the government to immediately put strike savings back into schools to help address concerns regarding class size and composition. We have

told the ministers of education and finance that the money for the proposed $40-a-day subsidy for parents would be better spent on students in schools. We continue our advocacy for improved education funding, and our trustee representatives at the bargaining table are calling for maintaining flexibility on class size and composition to improve the learning settings for students. The two parties are approximately a percentage point apart on salary and one year apart on the proposed term of the contract – items that could be resolved through mediation. However, the proposed increases to benefits, the workload fund and the $5,000 signing bonus request makes the full package well outside the affordability range. B.C.’s public education

system ranks among the very best in the world, due in large part to our talented and dedicated teachers. Trustees believe that teachers deserve a fair wage increase, but the BCTF’s overall compensation proposal needs to be aligned with other B.C. public sector agreements. The issues are complex. This is not just about money. Ultimately, we need an agreement that meets the needs of students and provides long-term stability for public education. A deal can be reached. Students can be back in school on September 2. The government and the BCTF must move on the numbers and put students first. Teresa Rezansoff President BC School Trustees Association

Close call leaves fishers thankful Henry Esau, Alan Esau and I (Henry J Esau), went sockeye fishing early on Aug. 19. We anchored in at approximately 9 ft. of water at the log dump. The water was faster than what we were comfortable with, but by noon we had four sockeye in the boat and we had lost several more. Soon thereafter, I hooked into a fish that did not surface but it was taking my line out right in front of five or six other anchored boats. I called Henry to release us from the anchor. We floated past all the fishing boats and

realized that our fish was gone, so we returned back to where our anchor was, but the floats were nowhere to be seen. We searched for sometime and suddenly we spotted the red and white floats just under the surface of the water. After much effort we managed to get hold of the floats and discovered that the anchor was caught in the prop. We immediately buckled up our life jackets and moved to the front of the boat. The current took us out into the deeper water away from all fishermen. We soon hit shallower

water the anchor stopped the boat and the boat flipped over, dumping us all into the water. A number of boats went by without noticing that we were in trouble. One lone fisherman, a few hundred yards upstream cut his anchor rope and came to our rescue. Emil, the rescuer, after helping us into his boat, did a wonderful piece of work to try and save our boat. We discovered that we were on the north side of the Fraser near Dewdney. Here the water was too strong to tow our boat any further and the tow-rope snapped and the boat floated down

the river, never to be seen again — we thought. From here on Search and Rescue took over, and the boat was recovered, turned right side up, emptied and put onto our hailer. The three of us bowed our heads and thanked our God. Nearby campers, Bill and brother Paul and many, many others stood by us to the very end. We firmly believe that God our Heavenly Father was our rescuer, but He used many precious and gracious people, who helped to make it all happen. Henry J Esau

Young golfers show they’re definitely above par Roy and I had the honour and pleasure of writing the scores for the B.C. Provincial Bantam Golf Championship hosted by the Meadowlands Golf and Country Club on Aug. 21 and 22. What an eye-opener these junior golf pros, aged 15 and under, are. There were over 80 participants and 40-plus volunteers who kept the whole event running smoothly. I congratulate these wonderful

young citizens on their golf skills, many who parred or were under par, as well as all who qualified to play and all had respectable scores. These are scores that most of us will never attain. Events such as this are a winwin situation for the golf club, as well as the spin off enjoyed by the City of Chilliwack. This coming week the B.C. Provincial Junior Championship will be hosted by

Royalwood Golf and Country Club, featuring players 17 years and under. About half the field that played at Meadowlands will be playing at Royalwood. Again, I congratulate these young folks on their sportsmanship, politeness and skill. We truly enjoyed our two days with them.

Fassbender said setting aside the grievances isn’t a precondition for mediation but said he believed doing so would allow focused talks on the key issues – wages, class size and composition – and potentially get the sides into the settlement zone Ready requires. Fassbender insisted government won’t legislate an end to

the dispute. “Legislation has been the pattern in the past and it has not resulted in stability. It has actually created uncertainty and instability and that’s why we are not prepared to do it.” B.C. School Tr ustees Association president Teresa Rezansoff called on both sides to move from their positions to put students first and ensure schools open Tuesday.

She said the BCTF compensation demand must come closer to what other public sector unions have accepted and the government should plow strike savings into schools rather than redirecting it to parents. “The money for the proposed $40-a-day subsidy for parents would be better spent on students in schools,” Rezansoff said in an open letter.

DENTAL IV SEDATION

LABOUR DAY & EVERY DAY Speaking up for safe, quality, public health care

Now that you know more about the many dental procedures we perform, lets discuss your options on anesthesia. This decision will be made by you and Dr. Singh together based on your physical well-being and your emotional comfort. Dr. Singh is highly trained and experienced in all types of anesthesia, including local anesthesia, oral and IV sedation, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and, most importantly, general anesthesia. Dr. Singh’s office is the only fully accredited general anesthesia facility

in Chilliwack where patients can be put to sleep for their

surgical procedures. Keep in mind that there are different levels of IV sedation ranging from conscious sedation to deep sedation. Conscious IV sedation helps a

patient to relax similar to oral sedation however the patient is still not asleep. In British Columbia, a dental office must pass a thorough inspection by the College of Dental Surgeons of BC in order to provide deep IV sedation or general anesthesia. If you are considering being ASLEEP for your surgical procedure at any dental office, you should ensure the facility is certified by the College of Dental Surgeons of BC and that the staff, surgeons & anesthetists are certified in advanced cardiac life support.

Your comfort and safety is our priority.

Home&Garden

Keep that colour coming This wonderful warm weather has taken its toll on much of our summer colour, hanging baskets and containers, so now’s the time to renew for the next season. The good news is there’s lots of choice right now to revive the tired plants on your patio or front porch and in your garden. Beautiful fall mums are widely available, and quite frankly, they look stunning. Coming in all sizes and in rich late summer colours, these Brian beautiful and easy plants will MINTER add a fresh look to your gardens. If you buy them in the tight bud stage, they will last for weeks, requiring just a little watering to keep them perky. I like to group them with fall grasses, especially around pennisetums (bunny tails) and miscanthus because their airy plumes are just now opening, and the mums and grasses complement each other nicely. The new ‘hottie’ right now seems to be the lime coloured ‘Gold Crest’ cypress. Simply placed on your patio or steps, its vibrant colour creates a visual pop. Centred in a container and surrounded by carex grasses and winter pansies, this combination makes a fast and easy fall showpiece. With a little protection, they will even go through

the winter. Speaking of pansies, lots of folks are asking for ‘winter pansies’ to add fresh garden and container colour. Just so you know, all pansies and violas had their origins in high alpine regions, especially in Europe, and they are the most cold tolerant of any long colour plants. They will hang in with the heat, but they really love the coming cooler fall weather. They will not only go through winter, but will also bring your garden to life in February, March and April when we all need a lift. If they get a little leggy in September heat, just pinch them back and they will fill out beautifully and come back quickly with a huge flush of colour. The tiny flowered violas, with their elegant new bi-colours, are becoming very popular, and by the way, they are the hardiest of all violas. The ‘Matrix’ series of pansies are, perhaps, the most weather tolerant of all, and their mid-sized blossoms just motor on through everything until the bitter cold sets in, after which they too bounce back nicely.. The very large blossomed varieties look nice, but they will not give you the consistent long colour of the more resilient midsized varieties. The new ‘Cool Wave’ trailing pansies have become recent superstars because of their versatility. First, they are designed for use in hanging baskets and planters, and they really have

They now come in a wide range of colours for some nice design work. Another pick-me-up looking great now are the still new ‘Bud Blooming’ heathers. Their massive buds that open partially, looking pretty and fresh and staying that way for months, are their most unique feature. They come in a wide range of colours and add a touch of class and freshness to any container or garden planting. There will be lots available soon, so track them down. Finally, this is the time to pop in fall blooming perennials to revive a tired summer garden and for a repeat performance year after year.

Blood donors urged not to cancel Labour Day appointments The Progress Canadian Blood Services is reminding blood donors not to cancel Labour Day appointments as we head in to the busy long weekend. “We urge donors to keep their appointments as we count on their donations to meet the hospital demands,” says Nancy Bryan of CBS. “In particular during long weekends as we tend to see more car accidents, and one victim can use up to 50 units of blood which is more than half of our collections at one Chilliwack clinic.” Blood collected at the mobile clinics in Chilliwack is 86 units on Mondays, and 72 units on the shorter Friday clinics. Two days before-

hand, blood donors are contacted reminding them of their upcoming appointment. On average, about 20-30 people of the 86 appointments scheduled for that day, will cancel or simply not show up. Although the Sept. 1 clinic in Chilliwack is currently at 99 per cent full, that number will drop just a day or two beforehand. Eligible donors who have not yet made an appointment can call 1-888-2-DONATE on Sunday, Aug. 31 and

will likely be able to help fill those cancelled appointments by booking a time to donate on Labour Day. Monday’s clinic will be held at Broadway Church (46611 Maple Ave.) from 1:30 to 7:30 p.m. Due to the ongoing teachers’ strike, the next five clinics after Labour Day will be held at the Coast Chilliwack Hotel (45920 First Ave.) on Sept. 15, 29, Oct. 3, 13 and 27.

Perspectives: Why romantic love makes sense attachment, is one that occurs across all of our relationships but is most notable and powerful in parent-child and romantic bonds. Indeed, in our closest relationships it takes on an importance that approaches the need for oxygen. The central question in a relationship is “can I count on you?” Whether it’s a baby crying for a parent, or a spouse feeling overwhelmed about a work situation, we look for the important people in our lives to support us in a responsive and consistent way. Love needs warmth and support to thrive, not criticism and negativity. If we can turn to our partner and be reassured, this is a good sign. The therapy co-created by Dr. Johnson is called Emotion Focussed Therapy (EFT) and uses the attachment model and emotional attunement to heal relationships. Attunement is the process of feeling and understanding what our partner is feeling, and our belief they are engaged in what we are feeling. Start improving your relationship by taking advantage of the small opportunities to connect and mend the everyday crossed wires that are inevitable. Dr.

Preschool Spaces Available: 3 year old class: Tues/ Thurs morning 3 and 4 year old class: Tues/Thurs ĂŌĞƌŶŽŽŶ 4 year old class: Mon/Wed/Fri ĂŌĞƌŶŽŽŶ

Johnson identifies the three main elements of a secure bond as being accessible and engaged, and responding to our partner’s emotions with comfort and caring (as in, not texting or watching TV when your partner is upset). These elements, when accompanied by us recognizing and communicating our own emotions can trans-

form communication. Every relationship worth having is worth working on, and no relationship so positive or negative that it can’t improve. For more information, read Sue Johnson’s books “Hold Me Tight”, and “Love Sense”. The Building Healthy Relationships workshops in our community are a terrific way

to work on skill-building with your partner. Offered several times a year, the series includes one based entirely on Dr. Johnson’s. Check out buildinghealthyrelationships.net for the workshop schedule. Marie Amos, MA, RCC, is a Mental Health Therapist with Child and Youth Mental Health of MCFD, Chilliwack.

Dr. Sue Johnson has spent the last 30 years researching romantic relationships and working with couples to develop safe, meaningful, and long-term connections. Her latest book, Love Sense, explores the key practices of maintaining a romantic relations h i p . Based Marie on sciAMOS entific inquir y, Dr. Johnson clearly lays out the building blocks of a happy relationship. Our society sometimes portrays romantic love as something that happens outside of us, but every day we make choices to connect or disconnect from our romantic partner. We are biologically wired to bond, as infants, children, and as adults. The paradox of this is the more securely bonded we are, the more independent it allows us to be. In romantic relationships, the falling in love stage consists of gazing into each other’s eyes, and talking away about everything little thing from our past and current lives.

Seeking employment the old-school way Katie Bartel The Progress Chester Ferris knocked on 214 Chilliwack business doors before one took him in. Every morning the 74-yearold took care to dress smartly in freshly pressed slacks, a starched, white shirt with a tight-knotted tie, and his trusty sports coat, circa 1961, with the intent of obtaining employment in Chilliwack. He wasn’t picky. Ferris asked at funeral parlours, hotels, car dealerships, small, retail outlets, big-box stores, second-hand stores, newspapers, and

He didn’t have much experience beyond driving a tractor for 50 want years and navigating a Greyhound bus for 30 years in the off season. “It didn’t matter to me what kind of job I was given,” he said. “I’d take whatever was there because I knew something else would develop.” Over a two-week span, Ferris

Sherry Taylor: Charting a course for a better community I believe that it was American comedienne Lucille Ball who said, “If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it. The more things you do, the more you can do.” This is certainly true for Sherry Taylor, a woman who’s dedicated to helping others wherever and whenever she can. From the time that she was a young girl, Sherry learned the meaning of hard work. Born and raised in Sherbrooke, Quebec, her family owned a cattle farm that spanned hundreds of acres. “We had dairy cattle and then went on to raise beef cattle. There were always chores to be done. It was never a case of not wanting to do them. We never questioned it; it was just something that you had to do,” she explained. By the time that her father was

in his early forties, he had his first open-heart surgery and was forced to retire. “Dad needed to be where it was warmer so they moved out west and settled in Greendale. I remained in Quebec and continued working,” she said. Sherry was working as an invoice clerk for Ana an above-ground MACEDO mining company but needed a challenge so she resolved to move, landing a job with Bell Canada in Montreal. She enjoyed the job but after awhile missed her parents terribly and decided that she too would relocate to the west coast. “I tried to get into Bell Canada in Vancouver

the Parade Marshall for Yarrow Days. “I take the applications, I ensure that all the required permitting is in place, I lay out the floats and that sort of thing,” she smiled. Sherry is also a loving and dedicated mother and as such, she gets involved in what her children are doing. This is a bonus for the kids and the organizations that she then assists. Six years ago, her son got involved with Branch 349 Chilliwack Sea Cadets so it was natural for her jump in with both feet. “Currently, I am the president and previously, I was the treasurer. I’ve certainly enjoyed being a part of this organization. There are 26 cadets, boys and girls, and I’ve appreciated getting to know them. This is a very active group and they are very involved in the community. They

do so many things and through all of their work, they grow and learn discipline and naturally become good leaders. We have a band division where they either know or are taught to play an instrument, we have a guard division where they are taught drill and ceremonial, there’s a seamanship division where they learn to tie knots and how to work pulley systems and there’s also a sailing division. We have our own sail boats and instruction takes place at Jericho and at Cultus Lake,” she explained. This is a bonus for Sherry because she loves both the outdoors and the water. “I also enjoy gardening and meeting people. This is especially important for me,” she smiled.

He wanted to be a chauffeur, or a butler; “a gentleman’s gentleman.” The dream started when he was five years old. His uncle Dilbert, a

career butler, came for a visit. He was dressed to the nines, wearing a slick black suit, chauffeur’s cap, pristine white gloves, and polished black shoes. He arrived driving a limousine.

“The way he dressed, the way he carried himself, I wanted to be that,” said Ferris. But that was just a dream. These days butler and chauffeur jobs are hard to come by. Or are they?

I worked at the Cottonwood Mall branch here in Chilliwack and I also worked in Abbotsford. Today, I’m a Personal Account Manager and I also handle investments at Envision’s Yarrow branch,” she pointed out. One day, Sherry was approached by the Chilliwack Dogwood Monarch Lions Club to be a member and she took on the challenge enthusiastically. She has enjoyed her time with the Lions and believes in giving back to her community. For the last 16 years, she’s also been

When Ferris walked into Greek Islands, located on Yale Road, he went straight to the manager. “I’d like to be your maitre d’ or dishwasher,” he announced. He was told the establishment already had two dishwashers, and if he were to become the restaurant’s maitre d’, the manager would be out of a job. But they did need a parking lot attendant. Ferris thought about it for a second, asked if he could take a moment to grab something from his car. Not even two minutes later, he was back before the manager, dressed in a proper driver’s cap with pristine white gloves covering his hands. “Can I be your doorman?” he asked, his eyes beaming like that

of a kid in a candy story. Ferris found his dream job. Two nights a week, Ferris can be found in the parking lot of Greek Islands, directing incoming traffic to various parking spots, and opening the doors for the female passengers. Always careful to grab their forearm, so as not to harm their wrists, and linking elbows with his as he guides them to the restaurant’s entrance. “My job is to make them feel special,” he said. “I want to be better in the parking lot then they are in the house, because the first exposure a customer has is to the man in the parking lot.” kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Five student worthy cars under ten grand Finding five used cars under ten grand doesn’t sound like too big a challenge, until a “for a college student” stipulation is added. In my mind, this adds a few requirements as the car has to be, easy on fuel, reliable, easy to park, good on gas, thrives on abuse, room for friends, room for a bike and camping gear, super fuel efficient ... and look good! So, bearing in mind the last requirement is a highly subjective one and ignoring the (no brainer) most popular car in Canada (Honda Civic), here are five vehicle suggestions – in no particular order: Pontiac Vibe (2010 or older): Although the Pontiac Vibe looks different, you also know this compact 4-door hatchback as the Toyota Matrix. A joint (GM/ Toyota) production venture ended with the 2010 model year, as did the Pontiac brand. The resale value of a Vibe is generally lower than a same year/condition Matrix, or conversely, you may be able to buy a newer/ lower mileage Vibe. The ’09 Vibe was a second generation redesign and a

slightly bigger model that came in front-drive and allwheel-drive editions, and in base and GT trim levels. The base engine is a gas-miser 1.8-litre (132 horsepower) and a 2.4-litre (158 horsepower) engine comes in the AWD and GT models. Fuel consumption (1.8L/ FWD): 8.0/6.2 L/100 km (city/highway) Fuel consumption (2.4L/ AWD): 10.3/7.8 L/100 km (city/highway) Honda Fit (2010 or older): The Honda Fit is a small, but taller, 4-door hatchback that was introduced for the 2007 model year and came in DX, LX

and Sport trim levels. Its seats can be reconfigured in an amazing variety of ways and there’s even a couch/ bed recliner position. The 2009 model was a second generation redesign with a more powerful 117 horsepower (up from 109-horsepower) 1.5-litre engine that’s mated to either a five-speed manual transmission or optional five-speed automatic. In the Sport edition, this automatic also comes with paddle shift gear selection at the steering wheel. Fuel consumption (1.5L/ FWD): 7.1/5.5 L/100 km (city/highway) Jeep Patriot (2010 or older): The Patriot could also be called “Jeep Light”, as it’s an affordable, compact yet capable SUV/ wagon that’s surprisingly fuel-efficient. Available in both front-drive and fourwheel-drive configurations, Jeep launched Patriot for the 2007 model year and it’s a good match of an active lifestyle young person that enjoys the outdoors. Patriot came in Sport, North and Limited trim levels and the base engine is a

The lower-priced Nissan Versa comes with a 1.6-litre engine and a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic. 2.0-litre that can produce 158-horsepower and 2.4-litre that can produce 172 horsepower is the upgrade. The transmissions offered were a 5-speed manual transmission or a fuel-efficient CVT (continuously variable transmission) automatic. If serious 4-wheeling is contemplated look for models with a trail-rated Freedom II off-road package that adds

protective skid plates, etc. The down-side is increased weight and higher fuel consumption. Fuel consumption (2.0L/ FWD): 8.9/6.9 L/100 km (city/highway) Fuel consumption (2.4L/4WD): 9.9/8.2 L/100 km (city/highway) Nissan Versa (2011 or older): The Nissan Versa may look small on the outside, but this four-

door sedan or hatchback has an amazing amount of space on the inside. The extra head and leg room provided make it a very good match for a taller or bigger than average young person. Versa offers seating for four (squeeze five) full-sized adults and extra-large rear passenger doors also make getting in or out easier. The lower-priced sedan comes

with a 1.6-litre (107-horsepower) engine and a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic. The hatchback comes with a 1.8-litre (122-horsepower) engine and a 6-speed manual, 4-speed automatic or a CVT automatic. Prior to 2010, a base Versa didn’t come with ABS (antilock braking system), and continued on page 26

With a passenger from Ontario ogling the scenery changes, it made me proud to live in such a spectacular place.

Alexandra Straub

To say the drive from Vancouver to Calgary offers scenic vistas galore would be an understatement. And the opportunity to drive it the all-new 2015 Volkswagen GTI made it still more irresistible an opportunity. Time constraints allowed only for the most direct route there; taking the Trans-Canada, the 3, the 5 and then again onto the Highway 1. Appreciating the incredible topographical features the Trans Canada has to offer is something I don’t always do. But with a passenger from Ontario ogling the scenery changes, it made me proud to live in such a spectacular place. Okay, I was a lot proud. Whether driving surrounded by lush, emerald vegetation, desert or engulfed in mountain, there was no shortage of ocular stimulation in our 360 view. Furthermore, the GTI is no sleeper either. In fact, it’s probably my favourite VW on the market. And it got a lot better for 2015. Now in its seventh generation, it’s lighter than Golf Mk6, bigger, more fuel efficient, more powerful, and just more awesome. For a starting MSRP of $27,995, you get the updated 2.0L, TSI turbocharged engine, which now boasts 210 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. The cabin is also roomier, thanks to its augmented dimensions. While the overnight trip didn’t warrant filling the 645L cargo area to the brim, it’s nice to know you could bring a carload of people, along with their gear, and still have an enjoyable time. The GTI builds on its razor sharp handling, improves the suspension and allows the driver to still have a great time behind the wheel. Not to mention, the 6-speed manual gearbox – it also comes in a 6-speed

(city/highway – 5 Manual) Fuel consumption (1.8L/ FWD): 8.5/6.2 L/100 km (city/highway – 4 Automatic) Fuel consumption (1.8L/

FWD): 7.3/5.8 L/100 km (city/highway - CVT) Mazda3 (2009 or older): The first generation Mazda3 (2004 to 2009) set a new performance standard in

the economy car segment. Sold as a four-door sedan or a (sportier) five-door hatchback, the Mazda3 has been a huge sales success in Canada.

The four-door sedan editions of this Mazda3 come with (148-horsepower) 2.0-litre engine and in GX and GS trim levels. Sedan GT and (hatchback)

Mazda3 Sport come in GS and GT trim levels and with a (156-horsepower) 2.3-litre engine, with more torque at lower engine speeds. A height adjustable, good supporting driver’s seat plus a standard tilt and telescopic steering column make the Mazda3’s driving position particularly praiseworthy. It definitely offers the best driving experience, but popularity also makes Mazda3 the priciest pick of this group. Fuel consumption (2.0L/ FWD): 8.4/6.1 L/100 km (city/highway) Fuel consumption (2.3L/ FWD): 9.5/6.8 L/100 km (city/highway)

The Rocky Mountain way continued from page 25

tame in traffic, but inspiring on the twisty roads. And even on the track. It can also be entertaining. With the promise of wildlife “for the next 3 km,” my driving partner and I eagerly anticipated the sighting of some sort of horned mammal. A mountain goat would do. We’d even be okay with a bear. But alas, no such luck. Not even with a jaunt through Banff National Park. That’s okay, the premium Fender audio system did a good job of distracting our melancholy thoughts from the lack of wildlife sightings to the musical stylings of rock and roll. As I slipped out of the plaid-clad seats, bid adieu to the shifter whose knob is likened to golf ball – how appropriate – and gave back the keys to the GTI, it was bittersweet. The adventure was fun, the surroundings breathtaking, and then mixing it with a car that has the complete package? Now that’s a road trip to remember.

The Kia Soul has been on my recommendation list ever since it came out in 2010. For those looking for something bigger than a compact car but not as large or expensive as a compact SUV, it works. The original Soul was one of the first vehicles to receive Kia’s new design architecture. That bold, fun attitude and design has been improved in for 2014, taking the best of the old model and updating it to a whole other level. The 2014 Soul recently won the Red Dot Design Award, kind of like the Academy Awards

for car design and it also took home the Best Family Car under $30,000 from the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC). So, it is already off to a good start in its first year of production and should be considered by anyone looking at a compact car replacement. Looks What is the Soul and how does it compare to the rest of the market? Well, it falls in size between a compact hatchback car and a small SUV, a true crossover. The two main rivals for this car are the Nissan Cube and Scion XB, but compared to those cars this is a much more polished effort in design and content. The body has been updated with slightly larger dimensions in width and length but the roof has been dropped by a centimeter. The front air intake is much bigger and the headlights look more aggressive. The back has a large black section around the rear bumper to help lift the eye, where the older car had a long, slightly droopy back end. Prices range from $16,995 all the way to $26,995 for

the model scene here. That might sound like a lot but this top SX Luxury trim is packed with goodies that would cost a lot more on a compact SUV. It has polished alloy wheels, HID headlamps and LED tail lamps, a huge panoramic sunroof and automatic folding outside mirrors. Inside What continues to amaze me is just what is offered in a compact vehicle and Kia, in particular, jams more stuff in than anyone else. This top model has heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, leather seats, a big 8-inch navigation screen with backup camera, satellite radio, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, power moon roof and more. Now most buyers will shop in the middle EX trim and it starts at $20,895 also well equipped. One of the main reasons for the popularity of the Soul is the ease of use, meaning older buyers can get into the car thanks to the big doors and slightly higher seats, when compared with a compact car. The back seat is very roomy and has a flat floor

The Soul isn’t just liked by the initial buyer but by the used car buyer too. for easy access for children. The cargo rear isn’t as big as a compact SUV but for a city runabout it does a great job because there is storage under the floor and the seats fold for more room. Drive Kia has a two-engine approach to the Soul. The base model gets a 130hp 1.6L 4-cylinder engine

terms of handling. The body has been strengthened and attention has been placed on noise and vibration from the engine and suspension. This all comes together to make a great city car that can dash in and out of traffic with ease and lets the passengers relax and enjoy the cars amenities. One of the reasons I think this is an alternative to a small SUV

and all other trim levels get a larger 2.0L engine with 164hp. The same is true with the transmission; the base has a standard 6-speed manual transmission and all others get a 6-speed auto. The larger 2.0L engine was introduced into the last model but now it has the benefit of an updated chassis to get the most out of the Soul in

is the high seating position, great outward visibility and solid fuel economy, using 8.5L/100km in the city and 6.6L on the highway. The Soul would be just fine in the winter if driven sensibly and equipped with proper winter tires. Not everyone needs all wheel drive; front wheel drive is just fine. continued on page 28

This vehicle is powered by a Duratec 2.5 litre four cylinder, mated to a six speed select shift automatic transmission. It puts out 169 horsepower and 171 lb ft of torque. There is also a 1.6L EcoBoost I-4 engine available with 178 horsepower and 184 lb ft of torque. Roadworthy: While driving this Ford Transit Connect you feel like you’re driving a 2WD Ford Ranger. You’re able to manouevre around vehicles in tight parking lots and park in small parking spots, the only difference is you have a walk in cargo box on the back. This van would be perfect to convert into a special purpose van; it would be easy to add a wheel chair ramp or a lift without having to do too much modification. Verdict: All though this van has been available in the UK for many years, it has only been available in North American since 2011. The popularity of the Transit has increased substantially its introduction thanks to its versatility and size. It is here to stay.

Available SYNC system to make hands free calls, rear view mirror backup camera, reverse sensing system, forward sensing system, and a 4.2-inch productivity screen that keeps you informed on fuel economy numbers as well as towing information.

The load length is 184 cm and additional access is offered via the dual sliding doors. The cargo payload is an incredible 726 kilograms, more than some full-size pickup trucks.

Verdict The Soul is already an award winner and has a dedicated buyer base. In fact, the Soul also won the 2014 ALG Residual Value Award for the subcompact utility class. This means that, the company, ALG believes this Soul will hold its value better than the competition. Yes, this class is small but there is comfort in knowing the Soul isn’t just liked by the initial buyer but by the used car buyer too. If you are in the market for a compact hatchback or small SUV, do yourself a favour and try the Soul. My fully loaded tester was about the same price as a most base model compact SUVs but this runabout has attitude to spare. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca The Lowdown Power: 1.6L 4-cylinder with 130hp or 2.0L with 164hp Fill-up: 8.5L/6.6L/100km (city/highway) Sticker price: $16,995-$26,995

Manning Park Resort will be supplying kite kits for $15, or people can bring their own kite from home to launch. “We’re kind of hoping people will decorate them to be natural things that fly such as butterflies, bees, birds and bats,” said Hughes. “We’re really trying to get some fake wildlife up in the sky.” Manning Park Resort is planning to turn the Wings on the Wind Kite Festival into an annual event for the Labour Day long weekend.

Celebrate Labour Day Origins of Labour Day in Canada date back to 19th century Though millions of Canadians now see the first Monday in September as one last opportunity to enjoy some summer recreation with friends and family members, Labour Day is symbolic of much more than

long weekends and backyard barbecues. Labour Day was inspired in large part by Canada’s growing industrialization in the second half of the 19th century, when competition for work in the nation’s rapidly grow-

ing cities was fierce and workers who complained of long workweeks or poor working conditions could easily be replaced. Such was the case in Toronto in 1872, when printers threatened to strike after years of lobbying

for shorter workweeks. Those protests went ignored, and on March 25, 1872, the city’s printers went on strike. Within weeks, other workers in the city began to support the printers, whose strike had interrupted

JOIN THE CAMPAIGN TO PROTECT OUR HEALTH CARE www.savemedicare.ca A Labour Day message from the 43,000 members of the Hospital Employees’ Union UNIFOR 2000

Toronto’s thriving publishing industr y. Within three weeks of the printers going on strike, 2,000 workers marched through the streets of Toronto. The number of marchers gradually grew, and eventually 10 percent of the city’s population, or 10,000 people, had joined in the march that culminated at Queen’s Park. But the striking worker’s efforts did not go unchallenged, as Toronto Globe founder George Brown replaced his printers with workers from nearby towns and even took legal

action to put an end to the strike and have its organizers arrested for criminal conspiracy. But Prime Minister John A. MacDonald, who worked on the opposite side of the political aisle as Brown, spoke out against the publisher’s efforts during a public demonstration at City Hall. MacDonald eventually passed the Trade Union Act, decriminalizing trade unions, and set the leaders of the strike free. Though many printers who walked out never regained their jobs, and those that did

still did not earn shorter workweeks, their efforts did mark an important step forward with regard to worker’s rights in Canada. The movement that had started in Toronto soon spread to other Canadian cities, where workers also demanded shorter workweeks. Other cities also adopted parades in honor of the march that first caught the attention of MacDonald in 1872, and in 1894 thenPrime Minister Sir John Thompson officially declared Labour Day a national holiday.

Working together Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Minister Responsible for Labour Shirley Bond has issued the following statement in recognition of Labour Day, observed this year on Sept. 1: “Observing Labour Day on the first Monday of September provides us with an opportunity to give thanks to the hard-working British Columbians who built our great province Shirley and made it an even BOND greater place to live, work and raise our families. “Every worker has the right to come home safely at the end of the day. Following the efforts made by the labour movement and governments present and past, we continue to work collaboratively with employees, employers and unions to make workplaces safer and improve worker safety and worker rights.

“Labour Day also gives us the chance to look toward the employment opportunities that are ahead for our province. By 2022, there will be one million job openings in B.C., along with an increase in demand for more skills training and higher education - more than 78% of jobs will require some form of post-secondary education, and 43% in trades and technical occupations. “As part of our goal to maximize the potential of our existing workforce and prepare our young workforce of the future, we have developed the Skills for Jobs Blueprint, a plan that will provide today’s youth with a seamless path of education and training beginning in school and continuing through to the workplace. “On behalf of government this Labour Day, I want to express my gratitude for all the great work British Columbians do. “Working together, I know we can build on our proud legacy and make British Columbia an even better, more prosperous and safer place.”

Progress Eric

Welsh 604.702.5572 • sports@theprogress.com

Grizzly star courted by Clansmen Eric J. Welsh, The Progress It seems a matter of when, not if, Diego Pineda will secure a university scholarship. The GW Graham football star spent his summer being courted by several CIS (Canadian InterUniversity Sport) programs, including heavyweights like the Western Ontario Mustangs and Guelph Gryphons. “I visited SFU (Simon Fraser University) just last Monday and they seem pretty serious about recruiting me,” the big defensive lineman added. “Guelph is ready to fly me out whenever I want, so I’ll probably head out there during our bye week in October.” The recruiting process can be overwhelming for a high school student. Coaches texting and emailing. All of them try to put their best foot forward, painting a rosy picture of their school and program. “You have all these options, and if you’re really thinking about it, you don’t want to mess up and make the wrong decision,” Pineda said. “I have my family to help me, which is kind of cool. I’m trying to take it very seriously and do my research.” Pineda has earned every bit of attention he gets. The very definition of a gym rat, when he’s not on the field or sleeping, there’s a good bet he’s working out.

“I don’t even really like to take rest days, because I feel bad about it,” he said. “It’s just this thing that’s in my head.” Over the past two years he’s bulked up to the point where he’s nearly impossible to block one on one. Rushing off the edge last year, he terrorized opposing quarterbacks. This year, the GWG coaching staff is going to mix it up, trying Pineda at nose tackle in their 3-5 alignment. “My coaches like to switch it up and move me around because it makes it harder for the other team to adjust,” he said. “I have a really fast first step off the line, and it’s really hard for the center, and even a center and guard to get me. Often I’m in the backfield before they really react.” CIS schools are recruiting him as a defensive end, but they’ll appreciate his versatility. They’ll notice him playing at left tackle for the GWG offence this season. Plus, he’s a key member of the Grizzly special teams. Pineda might never come off the field. “If I have a really good season, a lot of these schools are talking about full-ride and all that stuff,” Pineda said. “It’s cool having so many eyeballs watching me. If you’d told me three years ago I’d be at this point, it would have been a shocker.” Pineda wants to get a masters degree, probably in criminology, and eventually be a homicide detective. Doing his research, he’s found all of the schools to be in the same ball-park academically. “The people from these programs have told me that all the universities in Canada have great education,” he said. “It’s a pretty level playing field in that

way, so it’s just up to me what my football preference is.” Western and Guelph are two of the premier programs in the OUA (Ontario University Athletics). Guelph is a short 30 minute drive from Toronto and has sent several players on to the Canadian Football League. “They have about eight different sets of uniforms and I kind of like that,” Pineda chuckled. Western has a phenomenal track record for producing offensive linemen for the CFL, and won the 2013 Yates Cup as OUA champions. But SFU has an advantage over both of them, playing NCAA football against American schools. “They play in Los Angeles and everywhere, and this year they’re playing a division-one school,” Pineda said. “I want to play at the highest level possible.” Another advantage would be proximity to home, though Pineda doesn’t seem bothered by the idea of Ontario. “I think it’s kind of cool because I’ve always wanted to travel to the other side of Canada,” he said. “One of the first things the Ontario coaches ask me is if I mind moving, and I say, ‘No. I want to explore and not stay stuck in a little box in Chilliwack, BC.’” Pineda wants to get a commitment out of the way early. “I want to get that distraction out of the way so I can focus on school,” he said. It’ll also let him focus on his work with the Grizzlies as the team takes aim at a provincial crown. Get more info at grahamfootball.ca

Chilliwack’s Shane Kraemer pitches to championship win Gary Ahuja Black Press Last season, Shane Kraemer was forced to watch from the sidelines — he had pitched the previous game — as his team came up one game short, falling 3-1 in the Canadian senior men’s baseball national championship final. But given the ball in Sunday’s gold medal game against Ontario’s Tecumseh Thunder, the 22-year-old lefthander was money in the bank for Langley. Kraemer allowed just a pair of singles and two walks over seven innings in a 3-0 Blaze victory. Even more impressive than the fact he allowed just four base runners over seven innings was how Kraemer used a devastating pick-off move to nail three of them out. “Never at this level, in this much of a pressure cooker,” he admitted on Tuesday afternoon after the team returned from St. John’s, Nfld., site of the 2014 championships. The tournament ran Aug. 21 to 24. “This was definitely a memorable one.” Kraemer struck out 13 batters in the final while the offence came from an RBI single in the second inning — Jesse Peters driving

in Bob Foerster — and then a pair of insurance runs in the top of the fifth as Sean Hotzak and Foerster had back-toback RBI singles scoring Clayton Howell and Bobby Wagner, respectively. “He left nothing out there and wanted the win,” raved Blaze assistant coach Steve Petersen. Kraemer also pitched the tournament opener, a 7-3 win over another Ontario squad, the Mississauga Southwest Twins. In that game, he gave up a pair of earned runs and struck out eight in 5.1 innings. His performance — as it has been all season — was dominant. At nationals, Kraemer fanned nearly half (21 of 44) the batters he faced. He finished the 2014 season for the Blaze with a 9-0 record and an 0.64 earned run average. He struck out 83 batters in 65 innings of work. He was just grateful to get the call in the championship final. “I never got a crack at it (last year) so I was appreciative of the opportunity and the trust they had in me to pitch,” he said. “It was a fun ride this year,” Kraemer said,

deflecting credit for his success to his team. “There are a lot of really smart people on my team that I was able to glean a lot of information from that helped me a lot.” A big part of his success, both at nationals and over the summer, was Howell, his primary catcher. “He calls pitches without a lot of fear (and) he likes to challenge hitters. Last year’s loss was a learning experience for the team.

“It taught our guys not get too much up or too much down,” Petersen said. “(Just) stay the course.” “Being patient against a guy like (Thunder pitcher) Zach Breault was key and to make sure to take advantage of anything that was given to us.” As for his team’s own pitcher, Petersen called Kraemer’s efforts outstanding, as not one Thunder batter reached third base. Victory at the national championships also

helps erase the sting of losing in the provincial championship game at the start of August. The Blaze were looking for their third consecutive B.C. championship title, but they fell to Kamloops in the finals. The winning team at provincials advances to the following year’s national championships. “That loss showed guys to take nothing for granted; you never know when the chance to play for a national championship will

come again,” Petersen said. “From the moment the plane landed in St. John’s, the guys were focused on winning and getting the job done.” The season now over, the players all head their separate ways. The team consists of college and university players from around the Lower Mainland who come home for the summer. This allows them to stay in shape and competitive before heading back to school. But for Kraemer,

who is from Chilliwack and played in the B.C. Premier Baseball League with the Abbotsford Cardinals, he sits and waits. Having spent the past four years studying and playing with the South Dakota State Jackrabbits, school is now over. He is hoping to stay in the game, waiting for a chance to pitch at the professional level. “If I get that opportunity, I will jump at it,” he said.

Ashenhurst Reuben, Gerald (Jerry)

Hannam Johanna Maria (nee: Weyers)

Passed away peacefully August 15, 2014, Reuben Gerald (Jerry) Ashenhurst at Chilliwack General Hospital. Born November 1, 1942 in Winnipeg, Manitoba; Jerry grew up (terrorizing everyone) on Sumas Prairie, part of a large, loving family. He is survived by his wife Louise, daughter Virginia (Mike), and grandsires Garrett, Mitchell and Evan; sisters Berniece (George), Myrt, Shirley (Johnny), brother-inlaw Hank and sister-in-law Kathy (Alan). Jerry was predeceased by his parents Rube and Ruby, baby son Vincent, brother Darwin, sister Marg and brother-in-law’s Len & Bryan. A special thank you from all of us to Dr.’s Kishi, Bartel and Dueck. Also, to Byron and Gerry from Home Support, the staff on Nursing Unit 5 - Path Unit, and a special shout out to Dave. The care and compassion from all of you is greatly appreciated.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our dear mother Johanna Hannam. Johanna passed away on August 12, 2014. She was born in Germany on July 29th, 1940. The eldest daughter of three born to Hubert and Liza Weyers. Johanna (Jo) is survived by her two sisters, Thilda (Werner Wittman) Kron and Gabriella (Walter) Kusheirsch, five nephews Martin, Andreas, Roman, George and Robin. All living in Germany. She was predeceased by her loving husband, Pete on August 31, 2004. Pete and Jo met in Germany where she was born. Pete was in the Canadian Department of National Defence. They married and after the birth of their first daughter Kathy in 1964, they moved back to Canada, Chilliwack, BC. Their second daughter Debbie was born in 1966 in Chilliwack, BC. Johanna was a Physical Education Teacher and taught at various schools in the area. In the early 1970’s Pete and Jo bought their first “show dog” an Afghan names Nora. That started their passion for raising and showing dogs. After Afghans came Dalmations, then Salukis and finally Tibetan Terriers. The “last” dog/companion Willa misses Jo very much. Willa will remain living with Debbie Hannam. Until the Rheumatoid Arthritis became so painful she could hardly walk, Jo enjoyed being fit and active. Jo took part in aqua fit 2-3 times per week. She loved to visit the Blue Heron Reserve and take pictures. Sitting in the sun, gardening and course, her daily skype sessions with her dear friend, Fran. She will always be missed by Kathy (Ron LeBlanc) Reich Whitehorse, Yukon Canada and Debbie Hannam of Chilliwack, BC. Jo is also missed by her four grandchildren Curtis, Corey, Kody and Eli. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Chilliwack Humane Society. A celebration of Life will be on Saturday, September 6, 2014 at 11:00am at the Solid Rock Church, 46200 Yale Rd, Chwk

A very casual celebration (party) will be held Saturday, September 20 at Atchelitz Hall (Jer was a member of the Atchelitz Farmer’s Institute), with dinner, drinks & good stories (3 of Jerry’s fravorite things), from 5:00 pm to midnight. No flowers, no tears, just well brewed beers... the way Jerry wanted it (if you want to bring a salad, or desert, that would be okay). Please come join us.

Pratt, June

passed away August 24, 2014. She is survived by her husband, John of 60 years. She will be dearly missed by family and friends.

De Kroon Combes Jesse Eugene October 30, 1961 August 24, 2014 Jesse Combes passed away suddenly on August 24, 2014 in Chilliwack at the age of 52.

Charlie MacAdam passed away on May 17, 2014. Charlie was born and raised in Goderich, Ontario. When Charlie was old enough he enlisted in the army. Charlie met his first wife Karen while he was stationed in Germany and brought her back with him to Goderich where they started their family. They had three children together: Herb, Bruce and Gwyn. The marriage didn’t work out and Charlie moved to Vancouver, BC. He worked at many different jobs such as building bridges, working in the mines and also in the construction of new homes. He had heard that his childhood sweetheart from Ontario (Shirley) was single again and he send for her. Shirley arrived with her three children: Bill Linda and Carol. They married about one year later. They remained married for 35 years. They started living in Abbotsford and then in 1987 moved to Chilliwack and bought their first house. Charlie worked many years for LC Pallet and later worked for Visschers Lumber Mill. When he retired he worked a few years of part time for Mertin GM driving vehicles to and from Vancouver. Charlie lost his loving wife Shirley to cancer in October 2008. Charlie took this loss very hard. At this time his health had been failing and the loss of Shirley did not help. In 2012 Charlie married a neighbour friend named Carol. They were together for two years until Charlie passed away. Charlie will be greatly missed by family and friends.
