District readies for Monday school start The Chilliwack school district will delay an upcoming professional development day and reschedule first-term final exams in efforts to accommodate the shortened school year. In a letter to parents, school superintendent Evelyn Novak said school staff could be in schools by as early as today, provided the tentative deal reached between teachers and their employer was ratified on Thursday. (Results from that vote were not available before The Progress went to press, however they are online at www. theprogress.com.) BCTF president Jim Iker was urging members to support the deal. He said the agreement provides for “hundreds of new teachers” as well as raises for regular and substitute teachers and improved extended health benefits. What it means to Chilliwack parents is a return to classrooms for thousands of students. Novak said first-day procedures will be in place Monday if the agreement is ratified. That will mean a shortened day and early dismissal as staff determine the number of returning students and staffing requirements. “This first day of school with students is important as it allows us to greet students, set preliminary classes and schedules, and finalize staffing levels at each of our sites,” Novak said. “Following this first day, regular school hours will be in effect.” A Pro-D day that had been planned for either Sept. 26 or Oct. 3 (depending on the school) is being rescheduled for January or February. Novak said the district has yet to confirm when final exams for the first term would be held, but said the ministry of education would allow them to be moved into February. “At this time, with current information, it is unlikely that we will see any adjustment to the length of the school day or adjustments to the Christmas break or spring break,” she added.

Ken Dueck, part of the Canada Lands Rotary Trail rebuild project, talks about the engineering that has gone into the new dike construction along the Vedder Rotary Trail. The reinforced dike includes steps (to his left) that will allow easier access to the water’s edge. GREG KNILL/ THE PROGRESS

Vedder trail project near the finish line Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Hang in there a bit longer. That’s the message to loyal users of the Vedder Rotary trail. The fenced-off section near Peach Road is expected to stay in place for a few more weeks as the finishing touches on the project get completed. Rebuilding part of the trail has been ongoing for months as part of the Vedder Bank Protection project by Canada Lands Company. Trail users have been patiently using an alternate route all summer long, as a section underwent reinforcement. The work had to be done

within the fisheries work window which closed on Sept. 15. “We did meet that deadline for the rock work,” said Ken Dueck, director, real estate for Canada Lands Company. “Now we’ll be putting in shrubber y, landscaping and clearing blackberry bushes on the north side.” Rip rap in the form of large boulders, and new flat stone stairways, are now in place along a 600-metre section of the heavily used trail. “It makes it safer for people to get down to the river.” Some dead tree removal will keep the trail section closed behind the blue fencing for at least a few more weeks, said

Dueck. “We’re trying to get it all done now,” he said. As one of the busiest trails in Chilliwack, “it’s like a freeway of people.” The project is connected with the new River’s Edge mixed residential project being developed by Canada Lands. Without reinforcement, the trail could vulnerable to severe damage from future floods fuelled by heavy fall rainfall. In 1990, the popular trail was washed away. “We want it looking just as nice as possible,” said Dueck, adding that the project conforms to the strictest engineering standards as well to with-

stand the high velocity of the Chilliwack-Vedder river system. “The Vedder is not a snowmelt river like the Fraser, it’s a rainfall river. That’s the nature of the flow.” Once the trail is reopened, the alternate route will be closed — at least temporarily. It will be reopened and remain part of the trail network in the area once invasive plants are removed and native species are planted. The Rotary Vedder Trails sees about 18,000 visitors a month during summer, and an estimated 15,000 in winter. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Two of B.C.’s first enterovirus cases in Fraser region Jeff Nagel Black Press Three B.C. residents are the province’s first lab-confirmed cases of a virus causing severe respiratory illness in children elsewhere in North America. Two of the B.C. cases of enterovirus D68 are children from the Fraser Health region, while the third is a young adult male from the Interior. Both Fraser cases were treated in Vancouver and have since been discharged from hospital. Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an epidemiologist with the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, said there are at least three more suspected cases

and it’s likely numerous others have been exposed to the virus or may have felt only minor symptoms. So far B.C. hospitals haven’t seen the sharp spike in respiratory illness that could be tied to the virus, which has stricken more than 130 children in a dozen U.S. states and at least 18 in Alberta. All indicators have been within seasonal levels, Skowronski said. “We know it’s in the community and it’s not yet associated with outbreaks,” she said. “But this may be an early warning signal to us that what’s happening elsewhere may be upon us here in B.C.” Enterovirus activity is seasonal –

it peaks in summer and fall – so she said there’s a chance it could soon dissipate here. Telltale symptoms of enterovirus D68 are wheezing or difficulty breathing deep in the lungs and children with past respiratory trouble, such as asthma, are believed at greater risk. Most victims don’t have a fever, Skowronksi said, adding absence of one shouldn’t be taken by parents as a sign not to worry. While most U.S. cases have involved very young pre-schoolers, B.C.’s first three cases are older, ranging from nine to 19 years of age. Skowronski said the virus is not

new – there have been outbreaks of it before – and variants circulate each year. “We shouldn’t freak out,” she said, noting there have been no deaths and all patients are expected to recover. But nor should it be dismissed, she added, because it’s causing severe illness, particularly in children, who sometimes require hospitalization and intensive care. There’s no vaccine or specific treatment for enterovirus D68, leaving public health officials to stress the usual ways to prevent the spread of viruses – frequent handwashing, coughing into the elbow and staying home if sick with a sus-

pected respiratory infection. Regular cleaning of surfaces at home and in schools can also help limit the spread, said Fraser Health medical health officer Dr. Michelle Murti. She noted the end of the B.C. teachers strike may be a factor in the days ahead. “Kids are going back to school now so there might be more exposure or passing of the illness,” she said. “That’s a time when more germs are spread around.” Staff at Fraser facilities have been advised to be on alert to the virus and particularly to worsening conditions in children with a history of asthma, Murti said.

Poppy project will create interactive map Arson fires spark warning

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress They’re calling it the Chilliwack Poppy Project. It’s historical research in the form of an interactive map, plotting the addresses of Chilliwack’s war dead from 100 years ago. UFV history major Pierce Smith, 24, has been chipping away at it for his work study project. “It’s been going great,” he tells The Progress. Smith started out with the names of the fallen, taken from the cenotaph. He then spent months tracking down the modern-day addresses of those listed on the War Memorial behind the Chilliwack Museum. “So far I’ve tracked down 70 out of the 108 people who died in the war,” said Smith. He’s nailed down 10 exact addresses. Former museum staffer Paul Ferguson, a military historian, did a good chunk of the ground work, travelling overseas to research burial records of Chilliwack’s war dead, which was left behind in binders. Using everything from the Chilliwack Progress archives, tax rolls, census data, maps, attestation papers and burial records, Smith has been pinpointing where they lived, and corresponding those locations with current street addresses as best he can. “It’s been challenging,” he noted. Project supervisor and UFV professor Molly Ungar has a specialty in Canadian history, and can envision the project’s contribution. “First and foremost, it connects the past with the present. It brings home the reality of local people who were part of this great national trauma, and locates it on the streets that we ourselves inhabit.” Ungar designed the Poppy Project, hired Smith, and contacted the museum to make work study arrangements. The work has uncovered the fact that Private Orville Hubert Boucher of Chilliwack, lived with his parents at the corner of Brooks Avenue and Elm Drive. He enlisted in the Great War in February of 1916 and was killed during the Battle of Hill 70, in August of 1917. Then there’s 46180 Bole Ave. It was the home of two brothers, Charles and Russell Arnold. Charles was killed in 1915, and his brother died in the trenches of Belgium in 1916. “It’s important to acknowledge that the past surrounds us and is worth remembering, because the past is the key to the future,” Ungar said, about the rationale for the research. “Seeing the places where these recruits lived, and left from, helps us to imagine the world that they called home, and that some of them never saw that world again, while those who returned, returned to a very different world from the one they had left.” Getting the chance to see the locations plotted on Continued: POPPY/ p5

RCMP and fire officials are investigating two arson fires start early Wednesday morning – one that forced the evacuation of a downtown apartment building and sent two people to hospital with minor smoke inhalation. The fires were started at around 3:30 a.m. in the 9400 block of Nowell Street and the 46000 block of Bole Avenue. When firefighters from Halls 1 and 4 arrived at the Nowell Street fire, they found a fully involved vehicle fire located in the underground parkade of a three-storey apartment building. Crews managed to quickly bring the fire under control. The east side of the building sustained exterior heat and smoke damage. Interior smoke damage was prevalent throughout the building. All tenants were safely evacuated out of the building, with two residents sent to hospital with minor smoke inhalation. Meanwhile, just down the street on Bole Avenue, residents from a nearby apartment building were using a garden hose to douse a fire that had been started in the dumpster. When firefighters arrived, the blaze was quickly extinguished. Both fires were deliberately set and are under investigation by Chilliwack Fire Department and RCMP fire investigators. If anyone has any information about this fire, they are asked to call the RCMP at 604-792-4611 or anonymously through Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or www. chilliwackcrimestoppers.ca In addition, the fire department is reminding apartment managers and owners padlock dumpsters that are accessible to the public, particularly during the evening and early morning.

IS STRESS AND HORMONE IMBALANCE KEEPING YOU FROM

TO THE FULLEST?

CREATING & MAINTAINING BALANCE

A Woman's Guide to Healthy Sleep, and Overall Well-Being

by Nazlin Khamis Consultant Pharmacist The human body is built to stay healthy, in harmony and on an even keel. Hormones play a major role in this balance. They are messengers that have their action at very specific receptor sites in the body. Their ebb and flow influences all aspects of our physical, emotional and mental wellness. Hormone levels do their best when they are “balanced”, not too low not too high, but “just right”. When this “balance” is disturbed in substantial or subtle ways, it causes havoc on your sleep, anxiety, weight, moods, overwhelmed feelings, and your libido. This imbalance can happen at any time from puberty into menopause and beyond, and STRESS can take a toll on your health. Our bodies response to stress, whether physical, mental or emotional is the same and impacts hormonal balance. When we think of hormones we mainly think of sex hormones: Estrogen, Progesterone, Testosterone. But Cortisol, the stress hormone which is produced by the Adrenals, Thyroid hormones, and Insulin, all have major influence on health outcomes. When one or more of these hormones are out of balance, symptoms such as: sleep disorder, mood swings, irritability, depression, feeling overwhelmed, fatigue/exhaustion, headaches, hair loss, increased facial hair, thinning or drying of skin,

heavy menstrual bleeding, hot flashes/night sweats, weight gain (hips, thighs, abdomen), water retention, low body temperatures, aching joints and inflammation become aggravated. Many of these symptoms can be alleviated when we achieve “optimal hormone balance”, by using Bio-Identical hormones, which are identical to the ones produced by our bodies, not the chemically modified ones, that can have side effects .We also need to modify the body’s response to Cortisol, by identifying the 6 most common responses to stress and by targeting nutritional regimens. Diet and lifestyle modification can play a major role. Saliva testing is the most accurate method available to test for hormone imbalance. Blood testing is commonly used, however, hormones are bound to proteins in the blood and can affect the true reading outcome of actual available hormones. Men are equally affected by fluctuating hormone levels, especially the levels of Cortisol and Testosterone, which can cause loss of libido, thinning hair, increased belly fat and loss of muscle mass. Diet and lifestyle play a very important role and there are many holistic approaches and natural therapies that can support our hormone health and are relevant in achieving balance and live life to the fullest.

River rescuers recognized for bravery ‘Connection to

the past’ created by poppy project

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A young boy swept down the Fraser River near Chilliwack last month was lucky to survive the ordeal. The rescuers, local resident Colin Lang and Gary Lenihan, were recognized by city council for their selfless and heroic actions at Chilliwack city hall Tuesday. The boy was crossing the river at Gill road when he slipped and fell into the fast-moving water. He was swept away as his family watched in abject horror. Meanwhile, friends further along the shore heard screaming. Colin Lang jumped into the swirling current without a thought for his own safety. Lang almost grabbed the boy as he travelled in knee-deep water, but the boy kept going until he became stranded on a log stump. The rescuer was also swept away by the current but managed to swim to shore, run up the bank and jump back in. Lang somehow reached the frightened boy. Panicking, the boy tried to climb onto his rescuer, dunking him underwater several times. Fortunately, they made it to shore, where a few friends, including Gary Lenihan, were there to help. The boy was visibly shaken, but okay after the rescue. “Thanks to Colin, Gary, and their friends on shore, that boy is alive-

POPPY from page 3 a map, “brings home to us graphically the development of Chilliwack,” Ungar noted. “It tells us where most people lived 100 years ago, which areas were developed, and which geographical areas contributed manpower to the Canadian Expeditionary Forces.” Who might seek out such information, plotted on a map in this way? Anyone living in Chilliwack at those addresses might be curious about the history of their homes, she suggested, as well as historians, and researchers with a penchant for local history and historical geography, as well as Great War specialists. “Also people interested in how the residential landscape of Chilliwack has changed in 100 years; people doing genealogical research on their own family might be delighted to find the exact address of a family member,” Ungar said. For Smith, his work could one day provide “a connection to the past,” for anyone looking it up on the Museum website. “It will be an easy way for the community to access information in an interactive way.” The university community gets a sneak peek in a short while. “I’ll be presenting it on Great War Day on Oct. 3 in the UFV Gym on the Abbotsford campus,” said Smith. But it doesn’t end there. “I’m starting my research into the Second World War now.” Once complete, the map will be uploaded to the museum website, at www.chilliwackmuseum.ca, and on UFV websites as well.

today,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz on Tuesday, before presenting the pair with certificates or recognition. Gaetz also told the crowd that Lang had also lost his glasses during the rescue, and that his kind friends

on Facebook are taking up a collection to help get him new ones. Then Lang and Lenihan came up to the front of council chambers to receive their certificates.

THE

Vikki Hopes Black Press On Sept. 20 of last year, 14-month-old Alexcia Myanna McKamey of Abbotsford lost her life under suspicious circumstances, leaving behind a grief-stricken family wanting some answers. One year later, they still do not have them, and mom Jacqueline McKamey of Abbotsford says they are tired of waiting. “I just need closure, and to move forward and have answers. If somebody harmed her (Alexcia), they need to go to jail,” she says. Alexcia’s death is the subject of an ongoing investigation by the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT). RCMP were called to a house on Mullins Road in Chilliwack at about 10 p.m. on Sept. 20, 2013, when Alexica appeared to be in medical distress. She was taken to hospital, where attempts to revive her were unsuccessful. IHIT took over the file when the death was considered to involve foul play, and an autopsy was to be conducted. The results of the autopsy

have not been released publicly or even privately to Alexcia’s family, despite their ongoing pleas for the results. Jacqueline said the family has been told they will receive those answers once the matter proceeds through the Crown counsel’s office. Police forward their files to the Crown for consideration and approval of any charges to be laid in criminal matters. But Jacqueline, who is now four months’ pregnant with her second child, said the family was hoping to have those answers months ago, and she feels like they are being strung along. “It makes me feel untrusting of the police and of the whole investigation and of them doing their jobs,” she said. Staff Sgt. Jennifer Pound of IHIT said she understands the frustrations from families of victims in such instances and “how time feels like stands still when you’re waiting for answers.” “The reality is that these types of investigations are complex and take time,” she said, adding that, at this time, the evidence does not support a homicide charge. She said if the status of the

Alexcia Myanna McKamey

investigation changes, the family will be the first to be notified. A man was arrested in connection with the incident shortly after it happened but he was released without charges. Messages posted on social media at the time indicated that Alexcia’s father – Jacqueline’s ex – was the man arrested, but police have never confirmed that. Police at the time said the residents of the Chilliwack home where Alexcia was in medical distress were not involved in her death. Not long after Alexcia’s death, Jacqueline set up a roadside memorial in Abbotsford – on Elmwood Drive near Discovery Trail – in order to help her grieve. The memorial grew with

WANTS TO HEAR FROM YOU

messages and gifts from family, friends and strangers to honour the little girl who Jacqueline said was always happy and loved life. Many people left sunglasses at the memorial in tribute to one of Alexcia’s favourite things. “She would take the sunglasses off your face even if she was wearing her own,” Jacqueline says, laughing. The memorial was set up on private property, and the owners asked Jacqueline to take it down a few months ago. It is now located in Mission – at Dewdney Trunk Road and Cedar Street – because Jacqueline was born and raised in the community. Mission will also be the location this Saturday, Sept. 20 for what Jacqueline is calling Alexcia’s “angelversary” – one year since her death. The event will celebrate Alexcia’s short life with a potluck barbecue and a balloon release. It starts at 1 p.m. at Heritage Park in Mission, and everyone is welcome. Then, a rally is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 22 outside the Abbotsford courthouse at 32203 South Fraser Way, starting at 1 p.m., to pressure authorities to speed up the matter, Jacqueline said. “An innocent child should be a top priority,” she said.

Federal fisheries funding for Fraser Valley Watersheds Coalition is going to make a difference to the many species in the Vedder River. Habitat will be restored along dr y channels of the natural floodplain. Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl, on behalf of Fisheries Minister Gail Shea, announced the $124,000 in funding under the second round of funding for Recreational Fisheries Conser vation Partnerships Program, to allow the FVWC to conser ve valuable fish habitat in the C h i l l i w a c k / Ve d d e r system. “It means that we can create beautiful fish and wildlife habitat in the Chilliwack area,” said FVWC spokesperson Rachel Drennan. Sustained “water flows” from the Chilliwack River will

‘Mr. Burns’ to dog Metro over incineration Jeff Nagel

he added waste-to-energy has a role because not everything can be recycled. Another speaker cautioned against over-building incinerators. Metro officials insist they support recycling, reuse and reduction of waste at the design stage before recovering energy from unrecyclable waste instead of landfilling it. But Abbotsford Coun. Patricia Ross accused them of avoiding the topic of incineration at the conference and in municipal elections this fall. Metro last spring postponed plans to start public consultations on some prospective sites for a new waste-to-energy plant after Nanaimo council rejected one site at Duke Point. Metro has yet to identify other potential sites it has optioned that could be matched with waste-toenergy firms proposing to use various technologies. “It’s the huge elephant in the room,” Ross said. “They’ve gone quiet until after the election because they don’t want it to be an election issue. After that’s over things will happen very, very quickly and it will be too late for people to do anything about it.” Opponents of a new waste-toenergy plant for Metro cite varying concerns, including worse air pollution in the Fraser Valley, high costs and the undermining of greener recycling alternatives. Metro insists its strategy is to

Black Press Opponents of garbage incineration launched a fresh attack on Metro Vancouver’s waste-toenergy expansion plan Tuesday by unveiling a satirical “Mr. Burns” mascot. Kevin Grandia, a consultant fronting what he calls the Burn Free BC Coalition along with one other activist, said the aim is to pressure local politicians seeking election this fall to resist the Metro plan to build a costly new incinerator. The concept mirrors the use of a “Mr. Floatie” mascot in Victoria to shame area politicians into supporting a new treatment plant to end the pumping of raw sewage into the ocean. “This election, we, with Mr. Burns in tow, are going to make sure every voter knows about every municipal candidate who supports this plan,” said Grandia, who unveiled the smokestackstyled mascot outside Metro’s annual Zero Waste Conference in Vancouver. And while much discussion inside the conference room focused on innovative solutions to recycle or reduce waste before it reaches the consumer, the question of incineration was broached in a panel discussion. U.S. plastics recycling entrepreneur Michael Biddle said burning plastics ends its potential use as a resource, although

t Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles t Increases Skin Elasticity t Thickens and Strengthens Hair t Strengthens Nails By now you know. Adding body collagen directly reduces wrinkles, increases skin elasticity, and adds vital moisture to your skin. Indirectly, collagen thickens and strengthens your hair. You may also know that collagen production slows by 1% per year after the age of 21. Can you gain it back? Yes. But not by eating collagen. You see, collagen is a protein. When you ingest it, your body breaks it down, like any other protein, and uses it as food. When you want the real beauty beneﬁts of collagen, you have to generate it.

BioSil™ generates collagen by activating the collagen producing cells in your body known as ﬁbroblasts. It is clinically proven to increase collagen formation. In fact, in the clinical trial the women taking BioSil™ reduced wrinkles by 30%, increased skin elasticity by 89% and thickened and strengthened their hair by 13% compared to women not taking BioSil™. So when you want genuine visible results from collagen, generate it, don’t eat it. Experience the beautiful difference for yourself!

increase recycling from an average of 58 per cent to 80 per cent by 2020, but it will still need more disposal capacity because of its decision to halt use of the Cache Creek landfill. “We’re working hard to get as much recycled material out of the waste stream as possible,” Metro board chair Greg Moore said. Moore said he believes campaigns opposing Metro’s plan, as well as its Bylaw 280 to keep waste from flowing out of the region, are “completely funded” by two companies that operate the Cache Creek landfill and haul Metro garbage to distant landfills. “In my opinion, Belkorp and BFI are absolutely the ones funding all of the anti-Metro Vancouver messaging going on.” Belkorp Environmental Services vice-president Russ Black denied the firm is funding anti-Metro campaigns. He released a poll conducted by Abacus Data showing 74 per cent of Metro Vancouver residents would support a two-year freeze by the regional district on work to build a new incinerator while alternatives are explored. Belkorp subsidiary NextUse Recycling has proposed to build a mixed-waste material recovery plant in Coquitlam that Black argues could sort and extract recyclables from garbage before it’s burned or landfilled.

Alert thinking

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

The devastating loss of Coquitlam grandfather Shin Noh hasn’t been enough to prompt the B.C. or the federal governments to consider setting up a silver alert program, yet it seems like such a simple — and good — idea. Modelled after Amber Alert for abducted children, a silver alert would be used when elderly people with dementia or Alzheimer’s go missing. In such a case, once the police have the facts in hand, a silver alert could be used to alert commercial radio stations, internet radio, satellite radio, television stations, social media, traditional media and cable TV as well as billboards and, possibly, text messages to relay information. It might not always result in the person being found, or might be overkill when someone loses track of a loved one and panics before finding them close to home, but on balance, a silver alert would speed up the dissemination of information, something which was a problem in the case of Shin Noh last September, when sightings came too late to be followed up on. Thankfully, not everyone is waiting for government to take action. A group of technically savvy individuals, including Michael Coyle of Coquitlam Search and Rescue, and supporters of the Noh family have formed BC Silver Alert, a citizen-run program that uses social media such as Twitter and Facebook to send out information, gleaned from police reports, about missing elderly people. This is a great idea, and although only in its infancy, has already been used in the case of a missing person in Richmond. But while we applaud this citizens’ effort, we worry that it might not be as thorough and as far-reaching as a government-run program with greater resources. While BC Silver Alert shows the community will take care of itself, we worry that when a life is at stake, community spirit and goodwill may not be enough. ~ Black Press

L OCALLY G LOBAL

Five years to repair government-teacher relations Mediator Vince Ready pulled off another of his magic touches as he navigated the government and the BCTF to a tentative settlement after marathon talks last weekend. The province’s 41,000 teachers, who have been without a contract since June 2013, voted on the deal yesterday and all eyes are on school opening next week. There are no winners here, except maybe Ready himself for getting the two sides to quit their squabbling and mudslinging and get bargaining. Not everyone is going to be happy with the deal but negotiations means tradeoffs. This of course could have been done in the summer instead of the theatrics of avoiding talks until the new school year startup. No doubt most teachers are more than eager to get back in class, start earning again and resume what they love and do

best. It’s been a long, hard, bitter fight and students have lost five weeks of instruction between the end of the last school year and the beginning of this one. Plus there has been the complete loss of summer school. Catch-up will be Margaret essential, but doable. EVANS This mess divided parents, too. An Angus Reid poll at the end of August showed an almost even split between support for teachers (36 per cent) and support for the government (35 per cent) with 23 per cent saying they supported neither side. In June, support for teachers was pretty strong (46 per cent) compared

to government support at 29 per cent. Opinion shifted a lot over the summer on the contentious issue of class size and composition, the ratio of students to teachers and the student make-up in each class. This has been inflammatory ever since Gordon Campbell’s government ripped up the teacher’s collective agreements in 2002 and, with Bills 27 and 28, eliminated protection on class size and composition, cut support for special needs kids, and stripped teachers of bargaining rights. That move was hiked into court by the BCTF. In June 2007 the Supreme Court of Canada declared the legislation unconstitutional since workers’ rights to collectively bargain working conditions are protected by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Then in April 2011 the BC

Progress

Supreme Court ruled both Bills 27 and 28 unconstitutional and gave the government one year to remedy things and reinstate bargaining rights. So the government floated Bill 22 suspending teachers’ strike action. It was also found to be unconstitutional by the BC Supreme Court. The province is appealing that decision. According to the Angus Reid poll in June, 62 per cent of respondents said the B.C. government should fund the education system the way the court had ruled while 38 per cent supported the government’s right to appeal. In August, opinions were more evenly split with 55 per cent saying the government should do what the court says while 45 per cent still back the appeal process. The new contract is for six years with a 7.25 per cent wage

increase over that time, a $105 million payment to the union to address grievances, and $400 million to hire new teachers. This is the longest contract ever between the teachers and the government and it has the potential to offer some stability for everyone. Maybe both sides will invest in some trust-building. OK, so that sounds laughable right now especially as the court case is still lingering. But this relationship must have a chance to find a way to repair itself. The newly crafted labour peace may, though, only be a labour truce for now. When contracts expire, these two have a habit of picking up the squabble where they left off. Just wait five years. Maybe the Ready-touch will be on speed dial.

Ambulance times draw fire On Sept. 16 at 9:35 a.m. my wife was displaying most of the symptoms of a heart attack. I called 911 and requested an ambulance and got a recorded message which quickly cut off and an operator asked what city I was in and took the details of my wife’s condition saying assistance would be on the way as soon as possible. After waiting anxiously for an ambulance for 20 minutes I

called back to be told their were no ambulances available. I then had to drive my wife to the hospital. My complaint is that if I had been told the first time I called that their were no ambulances available I would have left immediately and not wasted 20 minutes. It could very well have been the difference between life and death. It appears we need more fund-

ing for our ambulance service as this is a disgrace for a city the size of Chilliwack. Please note I am not complaining about the ambulance personnel as they are great people who saved my life earlier this year when I had a heart attack. I don’t think we need people like myself in an agitated and stressed state racing their loved one through the streets to the hospital.

Keith Wilson speeds excessive Keith Wilson Road west of Lickman is a hazardous road for pedestrians, cyclists and equestrians. The road is ver y narrow with deep, partially water-filled ditches on both sides. But the real danger is the excessive speeds that motorists choose to travel at that makes this street so dangerous. As this is an apparent artery leading to and from the freeway, commuters seem to think it is part of that highway. We who live along this road need only a few hundred steps to

bring us and our children and animals to the safety of Hopedale Road which leads to the natural tranquility of the Rotary Trail. Unfortunately, ever y time we do this, we risk the unbelievable dangers of the 80 to 100 km per hour speeds that vehicles drive within a mere 12 inches of us without slowing down or moving over the slightest bit if there is oncoming traffic. Just two weeks ago, a friend and her horse were crowded off this road by a wide truck.

The horse, tr ying to get out of the way, lost her footing and ended up on her back in the water at the narrow bottom of the ditch. My friend was probably protected by the cushioning of said water. Her horse had to be pulled from the crevice by a neighbour’s tractor. The beautiful thoroughbred mare was severely injured and will now have to be put down. The City of Chilliwack must do something to make this road safe for everyone and prevent

further tragedies. Rigidly enforced speed limits and signs demanding motorists slow down if there are people or animals on the road could help, as could traffic calming speed bumps. We just heard that Vancouver is planning to reduce its speed limits to 30 km/h on streets where there are cyclists and pedestrians. Lucky for Vancouverites, their safety on the streets is considered important! Christine Schoeffel

Classes too big, or too unruly? Re: Factory model fading for schools (B.C. Views, Sept. 10). With respect to class size, one thing that is never discussed is the lack of behavioural discipline of the students. Some years ago I had a job as a teaching assistant in the federal prison system, where I noticed that many prisoners were stuck at the grade five level. That led me to take the social service program at a secondary institution to become a teaching assistant in the public school and help the “slower” students overcome learning difficulties. While doing my practicum in

a school, I was appalled at the chaos in the classroom. While the teacher was busy at the green board explaining a lesson, several students walked about having conversations with other classmates, while others walked over to the window looking at the playground. Juxtapose that to my experience in public school where we didn’t dare chat, never mind wandering about. Also, the wife of a former governor of Washington State took a group of teachers to China a few years ago and observed the discipline of the children there. The average class size was about 50

students. All of the students were at their desks focused on the teacher. And to have 2-300 students in a university auditorium listening to a lecture, there is discipline. If students in a classroom were studying online with only a monitor walking around, the matter of discipline would not be an issue. You could have many students in a classroom, each student progressing at his or her own speed and then have periodic tests as is done through distance education. Ted Grigoleit

Seize the day, enjoy it while it lasts, carpe diem! These are all things we’ve heard before and most likely believe. But how many people really live by those words, making each moment count? Making it matter is what the Chilliwack Hospice Society’s Bucket List Festival, offered in partnership with the Chilliwack Division of Family Practice, is all about. This public forum, scheduled for Saturday, September 27, is for learning how to make the most out of life, pursuing the items on your bucket list even when dealing with mobility issues or a life limiting illness. Learn about travelling when you are unwell, digital storytelling, planning a living wake, advance care planning and how to really “talk” with your doctor. Ken Williams, a retired RCMP officer and cancer survivor, one of the many featured speakers, is a living, breathing example of all that this event stands for. Ken’s story is one of hope, courage and determination. Along with his partner Brenda, this inspiring duo maintains an active travel and social life during and between Ken’s three-week interval chemo treatments. Elaborating on his philosophy on travelling while unwell, Ken notes, “Travel has always been a part of my life; it’s not something that began with or around my diagnosis, it’s been knit into my

Ken Williams

lifestyle since much before that. Whether it’s for work or for pleasure, travel is how I recharge my spiritual and emotional batteries, even during health challenges.” He eloquently sums up his experiences of travelling postdiagnosis, saying, “Your brain can no longer make contracts that your body can’t keep any more.” Ken has undergone over 30 treatments over the past two years, for Stage 4 colon cancer. Ken notes that his days of extended travel are behind him, “The treatments take their toll and our travel habits have changed to accommodate that. We allow for rest while travelling and plan for double the time we used to, to accomplish the same things.” In light of the strenuous treatment schedule, Ken elaborates that “Travel is our escape from everyday life; it’s our diversion from the

stress and anxiety of treatments and its how we get some muchneeded respite.” Friends, family and loved ones are well aware of Ken’s passion for travelling and have been supportive, encouraging him to stay active. He explains, “They suspected all along that I was not likely to make changes to my life that would severely restrict my travel. Invitations from friends far and wide are always coming through and many a times a friend’s welcoming home has been the perfect resting spot.” Reflecting on his experiences in the past two years, he adds, “It all comes down to realizing that time for everyone is limited. So it’s all the more important to make the best of it and spend it as efficiently and as joyously you can. Don`t let less than ideal circumstances slow you down or keep you from living your life on your terms.” Ken, along with other featured speakers and medical experts, will be on hand to share more helpful tips and words of wisdom at the Bucket List Festival on Sept. 27, 9:30 -2 pm at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. Tickets are just $25 and include lunch and several exciting Bucket List prizes. Tickets on sale now at www. chilliwackculturalcentre.ca/ or call 604-391-SHOW.

Garlic is very easy to grow and makes a wonderful addition to your fall garden, says Brian Minter.

pens, just push them in a little deeper. Keep the planting area clean and weed free over the winter, and depending upon the type of weather we have, you may see the garlic leaves appear in December. Don’t panic, it’s a normal growth pattern. In late winter as the days warm up, you’ll

see the growth really begin, and that’s when I top dress either with an organic fertilizer or with something like a 10-1519 fertilizer with micronutrients for optimum clove production. In June, you’ll get lots of curly scapes which are the new ‘hotties’ for stir-fries and many other recipes. Harvesting them will

not affect the growth of your cloves. By mid to late July, you will be ready to harvest and either enjoy the garlic fresh or dry it thoroughly for keeping longterm or for planting out next September. Garlic is very easy to grow and makes a wonderful addition to your fall garden. Give it a try!

Growing garlic has become a wonderful venture for so many new gardeners. It’s probably one of the most viable winter crops in the Lower Mainland Brian because MINTER of our great fall and winter growing conditions. It’s important to raise this topic now as the first day of fall, September 22, is the ideal planting time. Many varieties of garlic can easily be grown here, and it’s nice to try a few different ones to see which varieties perform best for you. I have to say that the two most popular and successful are the ‘Elephant’ and ‘Russian’ varieties. What’s unique this summer is one of the major Canadian bulb suppliers has made several hardto-find varieties widely available to garden stores in BC. ‘Legacy’, ‘Russian Red’, ‘Mexican Purple’, ‘German Hardneck’, ‘Music’, ‘Metechi’ and ‘Siberian’ are all readily available at local garden stores to plant and trial in your own garden. For the greatest success, plant garlic in very well drained soils. It’s going to rain a great deal this fall and winter, so it’s important to get excess moisture away quickly. Raised beds are also far better for optimum production. Even if you hill up the soil in berms 8-12” deep and wide, that’s better than level ground – and it’s warmer too. Last year we had great success growing garlic by adding plenty of organic matter, like well composted manures to the soil. What a difference! Once the cloves are broken up, I plant each portion of the clove about 3” deep and 4-5” apart. An application of fine bone meal helps in the rooting process, but it’s not absolutely necessary. As heavy rain may wash some of the soil away, watch to make sure the bulbs stay in the soil and are not exposed. If that hap-

Women helping women (and girls) on the other side of the world Jenna Hauck The Progress A group of Chilliwack women are making it easier for girls and women in impoverished countries to go to school and work, and are helping to educate them about feminine hygiene. Days for Girls is an international program where reusable and washable sanitary pads are handmade by people in firstworld communities around the world. The feminine hygiene kits are then distributed to those in need. The girls and women are taught how to use and wash the pads, and are given a one-week information session about menstrual health and hygiene. As of July, the Canadian chapter is a recognized registered charity and the local Rosedale team is made up of about 15 women from Heritage Reformed

Church. Hannah Brunia is one of them. She never gave it a second thought when buying hygiene products for her daughters here in Canada. “I have five daughters and I have never considered those girls in the third-world countries and their needs,” says Brunia. “When I heard about this, I thought I could do this. I just didn’t think of the need before.” The women gather once a month to sew the different pieces of the kits, and to package everything up. Each kit has two shields. The shields are made from two layers of 100 per cent cotton with a waterproof layer in between, and are snapped around the underwear to hold them in place. There are 10 flannel liners in each kit which tuck into the shield to absorb fluids. The kits also contain a pair of

underwear, a bar of soap, two Ziploc bags – one for washing, and one for rinsing – and a handknit washcloth. Everything is placed into a cloth bag with a drawstring. “Everyone has a talent, and we use them all,” says Janie Krul. “Not everyone sews. Anyone can help out, whether it’s here, or financially, or at home.” Krul’s mother in law, who’s almost 90 years old, has knit more than 200 wash cloths. Students from Timothy Christian helped make shields and liners during last school year. And some granddaughters as young as 10 and 12 from the church have crocheted cords for the bag closures. Others have helped out by donating supplies (such as fabric, soap, and resealable plastic bags) and funds to help pay for shipping and purchasing items in need.

The group also holds fundraisers like garage sales, car washes, bake sales, and homemade frozen cookie dough sales. It is common for girls and women in impoverished countries to be turned away from school and work when they are menstruating, and so they stay at home. Some will dig a hole in the ground and crouch over it until the bleeding stops. Others do unsafe things such as use rocks to stop the bleeding. They end up going days without school, days without income, and days without leaving the house. The Days for Girls Rosedale team gets a great sense of accomplishment in helping those girls and women out. “To know that these girls spend most of their time indoors because they don’t have these, and now they can go to school and work and get jobs” is a won-

derful feeling, says Jenny Jansen. The Rosedale team has been making feminine hygiene kits since last fall. They’ve already made and shipped nearly 300 kits to Haiti, South Africa, Indonesia and Philippines. Next month, they have their biggest shipment to date of 300 kits for women and girls in Kenya. Donations of money and materials are always welcome. Those wishing to donate fabrics can help by giving pieces of 100 per cent cotton and flannel measuring at least 10 inches by 10 inches. Anything smaller cannot be used for the feminine hygiene kits, but will be given to another woman in the church who makes quilts for people in Croatia.

Ford’s top ‘Car-toonist’ draws for real Studio 2000x is a fully-fledged moviemaking animation department that’s buried deep in the bowels of Ford’s headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan. Jeffery (Jeff) Nowak heads a

groundbreaking small group of dedicated Animators/Auto Designers who are playing an increasingly important role in product development at Ford and changing the way cars are created.

Jeffery Nowak talked recently about his unique line of work, while he was here attending the SIGGRAPH Conference and Exhibition at the Vancouver Convention Centre. The conference attracts

professionals worldwide from the computer graphics, visual effects, gaming, science, robotics and movie industries. “Our animations are cinematic in that we try to convey the message within a

product and express ‘the feel’ of that vehicle, as best we can,” said Nowak. “We’re trying to create a reality, before a reality actually exists, yet achieve a level of realism. We live for that challenge and it’s

very exciting and rewarding, especially in the artistic pursuit.” Designing a new automobile is a long and complex process that typically takes about two years, yet it still starts with

a simple two-dimensional sketch. In the digital age, however, that sketch is done on a specialized computer tablet, as it’s easier and faster to then develop it into a 3D model. From there, an actual scaled-down clay or foam model can be produced. As they move ahead in this design decision phase, more complex 3D design themes are explored and eventually a full-size clay model is produced. “What we’re seeing now is a whole new generation of tools that allow us to work more intuitively,” said Nowak. “The transition from handson sketching and hard clay sculpting tools to computer inputs was a challenge for some designers. Now we’re seeing a maturity of the technology to a point that these (digital) tools are becoming more like those organic tools again. Before Ford commits to producing expensive full-scale models, a lot of animation work is now performed. “This is my world,” affirmed Nowak. “We build a lot of complex visual experiences to allow all stakeholders within our company (Ford) understand what the embodiment of that proposal is and hopefully galvanize a common view or understanding of what that theme represents.” Animations created by the ten-person 2000x Studio team begin with a storyboard of proposed shots, just like a Hollywood or Disney movie. The images produced are in ultra-high definition, known as 4K, which is four times clearer than commercial highdefinition imaging, as there’s intense attention to detail of all facets of the vehicle – exterior, interior, proportions, stance, etc. “In addition to being a powerful internal communication tool, digital animation is also a great tool that we hand-off to our marketing organization,” said Nowak. “It also allows us to do more in the same amount of time. In the past, we might have only been able to do one design theme in a development time block. Now we can do ten, fifteen or even twenty design continued on page 28

Topless Fiat flawed, but that’s part of its charm The top is down. The sun is shining. It’s not a bad day to be stuck in downtown traffic. John Legend’s “All of Me” comes on the radio while behind the wheel of the 2014 Fiat 500C. As I wait in the Georgia Street parking lot, I listen intently to the song. Some lyrics of the song are: “Love your curves and all your edges, all your perfect imperfections.” Hmmmm. As I contemplate this, it applies directly to the pint-sized Fiat I’m captaining. In fact, there are imperfections about this four-seater that drive me crazy but I can’t seem to dislike it. One example is the sound that greets you as you enter its cabin. There is nothing melodic about it. No mellifluous ding-dong dingdone; just a harsh monotone noise that seems to stay longer than an uninvited party guest. Even

Keyless entry, a chrome shift knob, leather-wrapped steering wheel.

Visibility is mediocre at best, especially with the top up. The canvas roof doesn’t allow for great visibility when backing up – top up or down – but thankfully there are backup sensors that help guide you into the spot you want to be in. The trunk only hosts 269 L. Unless you’re packing light, or just ditching the bags and merely bringing a debit card with you on a road trip, fitting four people inside and their luggage will be a challenge. On the plus side, the drop top doesn’t take away any precious space when open. Then there’s the optional TomTom navigation that sits atop the dash and cuts into one’s forward visibility. An awkward spot for GPS system. Pairing a Bluetooth device isn’t that straightforward either. Not to mention, the 500C, with its 1.4L engine and humble 101 horsepower and 98 lb-ft of torque isn’t a stable stallion. Despite its lack of power, pressing the Sport button helps it feel a little peppier. The 5-speed manual transmission is hardly a chore, even when I’m just inching along at a snail’s pace. While its imperfections should cause me to think about ever wanting to drive or own one, I still can’t seem to stop loving this little car. I like its quirkiness and the fact that it’s not perfect. I love the exterior colour: Espresso. It sparkles in the sun and has a warm richness to it. When matched with the two-toned leather-trimmed bucket seats, it

assist and more. When not stuck in traffic, the 500C actually remains quiet on the open road, with the top up, of course. It certainly doesn’t handle like its race-primed sibling, the Abarth, but still manages to turn on a dime when required. It’s also a lovely road companion because imperfections on the road aren’t felt with abrasion or discomfort. Furthermore, if you want to shed some light on the cabin, there are three settings you can use at the

push of a button. One is a sunrooflike option, the next goes about 2/3 of the way down, and the last is all the way down. Either way, you have options on how much Vitamin D you’d like to consume. I feel like I’m back in grade school, sitting on the grass field at lunch, plucking the petals of a dandelion, one by one, saying, “I love it, I don’t love it, I love it, I don’t love… I LOVE IT!” Visit www.fiatcanada.com for more information.

Milton Keynes, England: As we each climbed into a gleaming Infiniti Q50 sports sedan, one killjoy warned the road to the Belgian Grand Prix would be like a dance – quick, quick, slow. The tour of the Infiniti-Red Bull Racing factory had us pumped and ready to roar Sebastian Vettel-like, along the UK’s motorway network to Folkestone, Kent. There we would take Le Shuttle train beneath the waves of the English Channel to France and on to Spa, Belgium. It would be a 600-kilometre drive (374 miles) and take less than six hours. The doomsayer was right, try ten hours!

“The four-time F1 champ inﬂuenced the production of the sharp-looking Q50 we drove to race weekend. “ However, plain sailing it was not as we encountered motorway chaos to the EuroTunnel. It was equal parts low-gear slow crawl, near-posted speed limit bursts – enabling a few paddle-flipping-gear changes – and parking pauses long enough to test the eight-position power seat adjustments and play with the large dual touch screen infotainment displays. The navigation system ‘lady’ suggested we take the M25 the opposite way around London. Whoops. Should have ignored her. Nevertheless, this was all a blessing because the car was forced to perform in adverse conditions and its mettle/metal was truly tested. Extended time at the wheel of a 328-horsepower 3.7-litre V6 version (starts at $37,500) and a Hybrid ($10,000 more) with a 3.5-litre engine left me scratching my head about which would be my choice. Both provide a quiet, comfortable drive, not averse to a sprint when necessary, all aided by a seven-speed auto transmission that is as a smooth as a baby’s you-know-what. All-wheel-drive would be an option I would choose on either model.The drive mode selector offers snow, eco, standard, sport and personal settings – my drive partner and I invented the new exceptionally slow mode. Interestingly, the constantly changing speed limits flashing above helped “Along the way, show off the predictive forward reﬂective signs collision technology. If you trust the car ahead, the radar-controlled gizmo urged us to visit will govern your speed and braking such historic automatically. You soon figure whether he’s locations as trustworthy or not. In addition, Dunkirk, Bruges lane control keeps you on the and Brussels.” straight and narrow should you drift into that passing car you were alerted to by another warning system. Thanks to the $320 flexi pass, we rolled with ease onto the train and smirked at the lineup with the $120 tickets. About 40 minutes later, we were enjoying the French countryside, travelling for extended periods at the construction zone speed of 30 klicks. Darkness enveloped the road ahead but our way through Belgium was lit by the most spectacular electric storm. Ah yes, the windshield wipers performed efficiently in a downpour of Biblical proportions. Along the way, reflective signs urged us to visit such historic locations as Dunkirk, Bruges and Brussels, but we steamed on determined to reach Spa, birthplace of Agatha Christie’s fictional detective Hercule Poirot. Vettel showed off a prototype of the super-powered Q50 Eau Rouge version, named for the Belgian track’s famous corner. Perhaps a repeat of the route, including scenic diversions, in a production Eau Rouge would be fun. Just saying. Contact keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

1949 Cadillac Series 61 Club Coupe.

The big stories out the of classic car world today are the multi-million dollar rarities that will be offered for sale at the big auctions in Monterey, Ca. With those cars making headlines, it’s easy to forget that there isn’t a millionairesonly policy when it comes to classic cars. Here are four favourite all-American classics that can still be had for less than the price of a loaded new Ford Focus: 1948-49 Cadillac Series 61 Club Coupe: The ’48 Cadillacs were the first all-new Caddies after the end of WWII (the 1946-47 cars were similar to the 1942 model), and they were drop-dead gorgeous with the first of the fighter

plane-inspired tail fins that would grow to near mutant proportions by 1959. As elegant as any Bentley of the era, the ’49 model was the first with Cadillac’s modern overhead valve V-8. 1961-63 Ford Thunderbird: The third generation T-Bird is arguably the prettiest. The epitome of jet-age, mid-century modern style, it was dubbed “the bullet bird” for its streamlined shape. Nice coupes are particularly reasonable, and with a little searching, decent convertibles can be found for $25,000 or less. 1964-66 Ford Mustang: The first generation Mustang which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, has clearly

Prices seem to be firming up, but six-cylinder coupes and convertibles are still available at a reasonable price. 1927-31 Ford Model A: Like movie sequels, few automakers have had the ability to follow up one blockbuster with another of equal magnitude. The Model A was “The Godfather II” to the Model T’s “The Godfather.” If you look at American period photos from the 1930s-40s, it sometimes seems like there was nothing else on the road. They can still provide reliable transportation even in the 21st century. Amazingly, this piece of automotive history is still affordable. Tudor sedans range from $15,000 to $20,000 and roadsters

Independent Living in a Beautiful Location with a Home Lifestyle

There comes a time in the lives of a lot of people, where being in your home alone, preparing your own meals, cleaning the house, looking after the garden and keeping up the property becomes more of a chore than the pleasure. Independent Living may be the solution to a whole new life.

Unbeknownst to some, Chilliwack is home to many outstanding mountain and adventure sports athletes who are plying their craft in our surreal backcountry. Over the past couple of years I have had the privilege to get to know many of these folks and watch t h e m as they peruse per fection at t h e i r activity unrelentingly. It’s always Sam inspiring WADDINGTON to me to see this kind of dedication in people, who for the most part work normal jobs and have families as well, however they also make the time to play really hard. It’s the sort of motivation to be up before the sun on a rainy morning and get out on Cultus Lake with a paddleboard to train for a far off event. Or lace up the trail runners, strap on a headlamp and go for a nighttime trail run well into the witching hours, because it can’t be squeezed into any other part of the day. I have chosen to highlight some of these athletes here to give you a bit of a window into the underground outdoor culture that is emerging in our lovely little burg. Meet the ambassadors! Marc Andre-Leclerc: Born and raised in B.C, Marc-Andre always knew that he wanted to be a climber. At summer camp at the age of six he finally got his chance on a 20-foot top rope wall.

Joe Mckeen (pictured here atop Mount Cheam with Lady Peak in the background) is just one of the outstanding individuals who are making a mark in Chilliwack’s outstanding back country. SHAUN MONTY PHOTOGRAPH

But he broke down crying less than half way up and swore he’d never try it again. Luckily the trauma of this initial introduction was soon forgotten and Marc-Andre gave indoor climbing another shot at the age of 10. This time he became instantly obsessed with the sport and began a short career in competitive climbing which lasted for about two years until the natural beauty of the mountains surrounding his home in the Fraser Valley led him away from the gym and into the alpine. Since then MarcAndre has spent his time developing skills in all climbing practices; sport, trad, ice, big-walls, freesoloing, bouldering… you name it. Now 22 years old, and based out of Squamish B.C, MarcAndre is drawn to big, remote, steep mountain walls and loves finding inspiring unclimbed lines in wild settings.

backpacker, climber, canoeist, kayaker, and paraglider pilot. He has climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Aconcagua, and flown his paraglider in more than 20 countries. Kevin spent many years leading young offenders on wilderness adventures for the BC corrections system before becoming a BC middle school teacher and specializing in outdoor education. He has led canoe trips with teenagers around the Bowron Lakes chain seven times and even taken a group down the Yukon River from Carmacks to Dawson City. Kevin took up ocean kayaking in 1997 with a tour of the Broken Island Group and then began adventuring in other parts of Vancouver Island’s west coast from Winter Harbor to Tofino. These trips have given Kevin an appreciation for and even a kind of addiction to the west coast. He plans a seven to 10 day adventures each summer now and has grown to love this area. He also has great concern about the vulnerability of the coast to oil spills, garbage and of course, nuclear contamination. Kevin is a “frequent flyer” with his paraglider 12 months of the year. In the spring and summer he flies cross country flights on his solo wing. He also climbs local mountains and flies from them with his alpine flying gear. Kevin also introduces people to the sport of paragliding by flying tandem flights during these nice months. In the winter, he continues flying by hiking up Elk Mountain and flying down, a great way to combine exercise with

a knee-saving glorious descent from the snowy mountain back to the valley. Joe Mckeen: Joe is a Chilliwack local who has grown up playing in the colorful backcountry around our home. In addition to hiking, climbing and ski touring, Fishing has always been a part of his life and something that he has pursued endlessly. Joe’s passion for fishing runs deep, he spent a number of years with the Freshwater Fisheries society of BC running Learn to Fish programs and working hard to get thousands of participants fully stoked to enter the world of angling. His main interests in the fishing world consist of exploring dynamic, hard to reach rivers, nymph fishing for trout, and most importantly: chasing steelhead. If satellite imagery, logging roads, bushwhacking, and no other people are involved, it is a good day. The further out, the better, Joe has travelled thousands of kilometers on dirt roads in pursuit of the next “spot.” Between university at UFV and work at Mt. Waddington’s, 4-7 days per week, he finds at least a few hours to be out on the water. Joe finds value and personal development in the lessons he learns chasing fish. Tight lines come from patience, persistence, awareness, and a modicum of creativity. “Every day offers a unique experience, the opportunity to out-do the sharp instincts of some amazing animals, and push yourself to a new level of ability.” Joe plans to continue hunting fish in new places around our province, and the globe, as long as he lives. Sam Waddington is the owner of Mt. Waddington’s Outdoors: “Equipping you for rock, water, snow, sand, wind and anything else the outdoors can throw at you!”

UFV panel looks at ‘Life in Agriburbia’ As suburban development expands into rural areas, the urban/rural divide gets blurred. A new “agriburbia” is emerging, where food producers and suburban development converge, creating new and complex challenges. The University of the Fraser Valley, located in “agriburban” communities such as Abbotsford and Chilliwack, is well situated to examine this geographical phenomenon. UFV will present Life in Agriburbia, a panel discussion and exhibition on the issues that arise when suburbia and farmland converge, at its Abbotsford campus on Wed, Oct 1 at 4 pm in the lecture theatre (B101). Following the discussion, UFV will host an opening reception for an exhibit on Life in Agriburbia in the UFV Gallery (Room B136). The exhibit will run at the UFV Gallery from Sept 26 to Oct 10. Dr. Lenore Newman, UFV Canada Research Chair in Food Security and the Environment, will present at the forum, along with agri-

cultural community representatives Kim Sutherland (Ministry of Agriculture); Amir Maan (Maan Farms and UFV alumnus), Brendan Hurley (Vancouver planner), Hannah Wittman (food, nutrition, and health expert from UBC); Tom Baumann (UFV Agriculture). The speakers will discuss the impact of the Agriculture Land Reserve (ALR) and how decisions on land use are made. Newman, who coined the term agriburbia, will introduce the panel discussion and exhibit. Agriburban development requires a delicate balancing act as planners struggle to meet national food production requirements and local residential demands, Newman notes. “As Vancouver continues to grow beyond the Port Mann Bridge, we see how demand for residential space competes with food productions in one of Canada’s most fertile agricultural areas,” she says. The panel discussion

will feature lightning talks from a variety of experts who will each speak for 10 minutes. After the session, all experts will be available for the audience to engage over refreshments in the gallery. Life in Agriburbia, led by Newman, is a multipartner project involving UFV geography students who engaged with a cross-section of the community to understand and examine the evolution of the land reserve evolved. The project also studied land excluded from protection. The Reach Gallery Museum in Abbotsford is supporting the project with its own Life in Agriburbia exhibit from November 8 to 30. The exhibit showcases maps and photographs clearly illustrating the changes to the agricultural and environmental landscape in the Fraser Valley over the past 40 years. As the provincial Agricultural Land Reserve and marks its 40th anniversary this year, and significant changes to it are being

considered by the provincial government, it’s timely to examine the impact that the ALR has had on the British Columbia landscape, Newman notes. Understanding the issues that the ALR face is an important one for Abbotsford as applications to have land excluded regularly occur, according to Newman. “The ALR was founded before geographic

information system technology was available, which created a situation where changes to the land reserve are surprisingly poorly understood,” she says. As the value of farmland continues to increase, fueled in part by demographic changes, pressures to review and revise regulations and property protected in the ALR continue, she notes.

Neighbours Leo Moschetti: The flavours of Italy

This week only when you spend $1.00 on a delicious chocolate chunk Smile Cookie, Tim Hortons will donate the entire proceeds to BC Children's Hospital Foundation. To find out more visit timhortons.com

Picture this. San Michele di Bari, a typical Italian town steeped in history and abounding in spectacular scenery. Its people work hard but on their down time, they enjoy merriment and exquisite, culinary delights. In the evenings, the piazzas buzz with trendy restaurants and bars. Numerous butchers sell the classic Zampina sausage flavoured Ana with cheese, parsley, pepper and MACEDO tomato; perfectly grilled on the barbeque with an aroma that is totally irresistible. This is a world very familiar to Leonardo Moschetti, Red Seal Chef and owner of Vita Bella Bistro. Leo was born and grew up in San Michele. He graduated from high school at the age of 14 and since his brother was an electrician, he resolved to head in his brother’s footsteps. “I’m not partial to heights so I quickly realized that being an electrician was not for me. Instead, I decided to go back to cooking school,” he explained. This was quite natural for him because Leo had always enjoyed cooking. “If my friends were out playing soccer and my mom was doing something interesting in the kitchen, I was with my mom. That should have been a clue,” he chuckled. He worked in Italy for a while

but times were tough back then. He had some family here so at the age of 21, Leo decided to make Canada his new home. “I settled in Vancouver and it was challenging at first. I had to learn the language, the culture and I had to get a job,” he said. Italian cooking was Leo’s passion and his first job was at Portobello Italian Restaurant in Vancouver. Along with two other partners, he opened up his own restaurant in 2000. Three years later, Leo and wife Valerie began thinking of moving up to the interior, so Leo sold his share of Amici Italian Restaurant. “In the end, Valerie decided that perhaps we shouldn’t move to the interior, so I briefly worked in Yaletown but shortly after, we opened up Vita Bella Ristorante in Burnaby. While they enjoyed the experience, they decided to move to Chilliwack after about five years of owning the Burnaby restaurant. “We moved out here in 2010 and opened up Vita Bella Bistro. I grew up in a small town. At first, when I moved to Canada and settled in Vancouver, I loved the city but eventually, it got to be too much. Valerie’s mom lives in Chilliwack so we’d come out to visit her many times and I’d also do some fishing. I love to fish,” he chuckled. From the time that the Moschetti’s opened up Vita Bella Bistro in Chilliwack, Chef Leo has always dared to do things with his

own sense of flair and creativity. While Chef Leo always strives to ensure innovative, flavourful and beautifully presented dishes, he also loves to try different things. “I enjoy being creative and I also love to teach. I used to teach at the Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts in Granville Island and this was something that I wanted to continue to do,” he explained. So, he introduced cooking classes at Vita Bella. The cooking classes are held on Mondays and include one hour of instruction and demonstration by Chef Leo and dinner which consists of the demonstrated menu. “I also love to cook for people where it’s a total surprise. We have what we call a Chef’s Table at Vita Bella. This is a special dinner where we can host up to six people. You arrange for this ahead of time and when you book it, you would advise us of any allergies, food sensitivities or dislikes and of your budget and I will then prepare a menu for your party which is not disclosed until the night of your dinner. We can even do your wine pairing,” he explained enthusiastically. Chef Leo is a friendly, humble, passionate and talented man who lives and breathes cooking. In fact, you will normally find him in the kitchen. Still, when he has a bit of down-time, he enjoys watching soccer, fishing and ballroom dancing. “Oh, I forgot. I also quite enjoy video editing. Don’t ask me why but I really enjoy it,” he laughed.

Fitness

Tips to help ‘fall into fitness’ With summer vacations, barbecues and parties, and a lack of routine, it’s easy to put on a few extra pounds over the summer months. September is a time when many people can get back on a regular schedule, and also a time when many think about getting a fresh start in fitness. Whether you are reconnecting with your workout attire or are starting an exercise routine for the first time, remember these tips for success: 1. Set a goal: Setting a goal will make your exercise routine more purposeful. Perhaps you want to run 5 kilometers by November 1st, or simply commit to doing some form of physical activity each day of the week. Avoid focusing solely on weight loss as weight loss varies from person to person. For example, if you set a goal to lose five pounds in a month but only lose two pounds despite following a nutritious eating plan and regular exercise program, you may feel discouraged. Instead, if your goal

was to follow a regular exercise program for a month, you will have accomplished your goal and be more motivated to continue working out and eating well. 2. Create an action plan: It is important to know what you want to achieve, Tanja but you SHAW also have to know how you are going to get there. Take time to create an action plan. I recommend creating a daily checklist of habits that will help you reach your goal. You will be more likely to stick to a plan if you are kept accountable everyday. Also, each day you get to experience success when you check off the box, not just when you accomplish your goal. For example, if your goal is to run five kilometers, your action plan may be to follow a progressive walk-run program three days per week, and you would

have three ‘check boxes’ each week. 3. Be realistic: Don’t become overzealous when starting an exercise plan. While it may be nice to go to the gym six days a week, it may not be realistic if you are also juggling soccer and dance practices, and planning to have a home cooked dinner on the table each night. To see results, it is more important to be consistent long term than to exercise hard, but only for a few weeks. Once you successfully follow your routine, you can reassess your goals and think about increasing your activity level. 4. Revisit your goals and your plan often. Imagine if you decided you wanted to go on a road trip to Disneyland, and started driving south, but never again checked the map or

any road signs to confirm you were on the right path. Chances are you would not end up in Disneyland! I recommend checking in with your goals and ‘road map’ monthly. Consider what is going well, and what is not going so well. Regular assessments give you the opportunity to tweak your program, or to consider whether your goals are realistic. If you’re not getting results, either your program is faulty, or you’re not following it. Either way, it’s worth checking in, and reassessing your progress.

Tanja and her team of expert fitness professionals work to inspire and educate Chilliwack residents to make positive and power changes in their lives through physical fitness and sound nutrition.

MEND is proven to work; programs delivered in North America show statistically significant results. Children who participated saw improvements in body image and self-esteem as well as eating behaviors and greater understanding of nutrition including eating more fruits and vegetables and drinking fewer sugar sweetened beverages. Other positive changes included increased cardiovascular

fitness and weekly physical activity and a reduction in â&#x20AC;&#x153;screenâ&#x20AC;? time and sedentary behavior.

BCHL season starts with Showcase Fresh off an unbeaten preseason, the Chilliwack Chiefs launch into real games this weekend, hosting the Bauer BCHL Showcase at Prospera Centre. A legion of collegiate talent evaluators have flocked into town for the event, which sees every BCHL team playing two games over three days. This is no other event where college coaches and scouts can view and talk to so many players in the same place. The Chiefs are in action Saturday night at 7 p.m., playing as the road team in a game against the Powell River Kings. They are the home team for the Showcase finale, a Sunday night (6 p.m.) game against the Merritt

Centennials. The full schedule for the Showcase can be found online at bchl.ca. Meanwhile, it’s been announced that the official honorary chairperson for the Showcase is Steve Kariya. The younger brother of longtime National Hockey Leaguer Paul Kariya, Steve amassed 36 goals and 96 points during the 1994-95 season while playing for the Nanaimo Clippers. He went on to four productive seasons with the Maine Black Bears, tallying 187 points in 150 NCAA games. The North Vancouver product turned pro in 1999 and split six seasons between the American Hockey league and NHL, playing 48 games with the Vancouver Canucks. He finished his playing days in Europe, splitting time between the Finnish and Swedish Elite Leagues, retiring after the 2009-10 season. Kariya will be part of the official opening ceremonies that happen before Saturday’s Chiefs game.

Sedins appear in Agassiz Black Press

memorate the donation. The centre is expected to open at the end of this month. Their final job while in town was to have some fun. Two teams were formed, with one Canuck on each side. A massive audience had gathered inside the gymnasium, and the room filled with cheers as each team scored. When it all ended, a few lucky audience members were able to meet Daniel Sedin as he signed jerseys, hockey cards and other Canucks paraphernalia. “We love living and playing hockey in Vancouver,” Henrik Sedin said. “Johanna and I are very happy to help the kids and families of British Columbia through our new foundation.” In addition to the Agassiz donations, they also helped out the Mission Possible Cycling Program in Mission by providing several new mountain bikes for that program. Several of the kids involved in Mission Possible had a chance to meet the Sedins at Kent elementary on Saturday as well. The event at the elementar y school included a free lunch

from Agassiz Subway. The project has had many other supporters, including Allenby’s, and Mountain Institution. A previously blank cement wall was painted over the course of three days by a Mountain inmate, under the watch of a prison guard. Allenby’s provided all the paints and supplies for that portion of the project. For more information, contact info@ sedinfamilyfoundation. org.

Daniel Sedin signs his jersey for young fans in Agassiz, where he and his brother Henrik kicked off their Sedin Family Foundation in September, 2014. JESSICA PETERS/ BLACK PRESS

When Daniel and Henrik Sedin walked out of Kent elementary’s library doors and into the playground on Saturday afternoon, the cheers could be heard from well down the block. The NHL superstars hadn’t announced their visit, as it was meant to be a small, intimate event to celebrate the opening of the new playground. For some young fans, the celebration was too good to be true. “I just can’t believe this,” one child said, running toward the playground. It’s hard to know whether his excitement was over the brand new play equipment, or the visiting Canucks. Saturday marked the official launch of the Sedin Family Foundation, of which Agassiz and Mission are the first beneficiaries. The twins chose to kick off the foundation with two appearances in Agassiz, delighting fans of all ages at both Kent elementary and the new Kent Community Recreation and Cultural Centre. They signed jerseys, mugged for photo ops, cut ribbons, and even managed to play a little shinny with some lucky Agassiz residents. But the main reason for the visit was to promote the foundation. Earlier this year, an anonymous donor for the Kent playground project was announced, with a generous contribution of $50,000. That pushed the project to near completion, a task that may have otherwise taken years longer, through raffles and other fundraising efforts. By this weekend, those donors were no longer anonymous, and praise abounded for the Sedin families’ generosity. “We were stunned and over whelmed,” principal Stan Watchorn said, when they initially found out they were being paired with the Sedin family. “It’s a blessing indeed.” The Sedins also donated $40,000 for gymnasium play equipment (hockey sticks, balls, etc.). “This goes to show the type of people they

are,” said school trustee Ron Johnstone. “They are great role models for our youth. It’s nice to see professional athletes be something other than professional athletes; they are community contributors.” The Sedin Family Foundation was established to support children’s health and education with a focus on family wellness. It’s mandate is to serve the entire province. It was launched as a way for the Sedins to thank the people of British Columbia for everything they have done for the two Canucks players and their families. It is funded primarily by the Sedins, with partners who help them have a greater impact on the community. The visit to Agassiz also included a stop at the nearly-finished Community Recreation and Cultural Centre. The foundation has donated to that project, as well, paying for the purchase of all the equipment in the gymnasium. In return, the District of Kent is planting a tree in their honour on the grounds, and installing a plaque to com-

Midget Giants crush Comox Josh Pretty had an interception. A clash of titans on Saturday sees the Giants hosting the defending provincial champ Nanaimo Redmen at Townsend Park (3:30 p.m.)

Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s midget football Giants stayed unbeaten with a one-sided weekend walloping of the Comox Raiders. Chilliwack left the Island with a 64-0 win, kick-started by a Thomas Heuser touchdown on the very first play. The running back scampered 75 yards to pay-dirt, the start of a big day that saw him roll up 195 rushing yards and two TDs. Rookie Connor Murdy added 70 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries, with Randy Nixon and Jordan Breuker also contributing to the pounding ground game. Austin Penner helped the Chilliwack defence pitch a shutout, recovering two Comox fumbles.

â&#x2014;? Last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Friday Night Football match saw Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s junior bantam Giants move to 3-0 with a 34-0 rout of the North Langley Bears. Fullback Nick Butler got the scoring start, carrying three Bear defenders with him on a six yard run. Tailback Quinn Venier added two TD runs. Quarterback Trei Lindstrom hooked up with tight-end Hudson Harvey on two touchdown tosses. Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Steel Curtainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defence was led by linemen Kyle McCarrick and Justin Crooks. Jackson Kinneman was a force on special teams. â&#x2014;? The peewee Red Giants (3-0) kept their perfect record intact

with a 36-12 win over Meadow Ridge Blue. Logan Buchwitz and Josh Baird staked the Giants to an early lead with long touchdown runs. Meadow Ridge pushed back, but Chilliwack defenders Kai Manning, Daniel King and Drew Roy kept them at bay. On special teams, Jaxon Visser recovered an onside kick and Travis Richley had a great kick return. Paris Mastin was named player of the game. â&#x2014;? An all-local atom clash saw the Blue Giants edge the White Giants 20-18. The Blue Giants were one play away from tying the game after scoring a touchdown at the final whistle. Needing a two-point convert, they were thwarted by the White Giant D. Carter Dallas had two touchdowns and a convert for the victors. Wyatt Stobbs also found the endzone and Kenyan Ried added a convert.

Defensively, Aiden Parks had a quarterback sack and Lucas Pollard had some great tackles. Finn Brandsma recovered an onside kick. The White Giant offence was led by running backs Parker Clarke and Vincent Branauer. Clarke, the speedster, picked up big yardage on the outside, while Branauer picked up bruising yards up the gut. Jake Sondervang and Tyler Bergin led the White Giant D, each of them picking up quarterback sacks. Ryder Staughton, Jeffery Santschi and Pierce Hamstra were also defensive standouts, and Brooklynne Groves-Vula was an unstoppable force on special teams. â&#x2014;? The atom Red Giants had a tough outing, falling 34-0 to the North Langley Bears. Nadalie Julian was a bright spot, returning a kick 30 yards. Game MVP Matthaus Chapman delivered crushing blocks on the offensive line and Evan Butler was a versatile star, switching between center and running back.

Bantam battle of unbeatens the Spartans in the first half, the Chilliwack defence tightened up. Byrne forced a fumble that Nat Oenema recovered. The Giants later forced a turnover on downs which led to the tying touchdown on an Olivares to Clayton pass. The winning points came off the leg of Olivares as he booted a 35 yard field goal through the uprights. Other notable performances included Gibson Hardie snagging his first catch of the year, Hayden Oraschuk recovering an onside kick and Warren Rogers returning a punt 40 yards. Erik Vander Werff, Jacob Butler, Kai Sommerville and Matthew Toews were other standout performers.

This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Friday Night Football match at Townsend Park pits the 3-0 Chilliwack bantam Giants against the 3-0 South Delta Rams, with a 7 p.m. kickoff. The battle-tested locals are coming off a narrow 24-21 win over the Victoria Spartans â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a come-frombehind effort that saw them erase a 21-14 halftime deficit. The Spartans couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t derail Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ground game, with Tynan Ackah-Sanzah and Mitchell Byrne running rampant. Byrne scored Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first TD on a sweep. Quarterback Gabe Olivares hooked up with Ryan Clayton for the second Giant major, a 10 yard scoring strike.

Clapp concludes rookie year Lion trio visits Valley

Chilliwack’s Brad Clapp finished the 2014 PGA Tour Canada schedule on an up note,

finishing 36th overall at the Tour Championship. The season finale was played last weekend at the Sunningdale Golf and Country Club in London, ON. Clapp struggled to an opening round 73, carding bogeys on five holes. But the Chilliwack Golf Academy instructor bounced back with a flawless second round. Clapp shot 67, with bird-

ies on four of the first nine holes. Clapp couldn’t duplicate the feat in rounds three (74) or four (75). Round three ended with a double-bogey on the 18th hole. Round four saw him card two double-bogeys on the fourth and 17th holes. He finished 15 strokes behind the tournament winner. Surrey native Ryan Williams

shot a four-day 274 to edge runner-ups Adam Cornelson and Clayton Rask by one stroke. Clapp finished the season 37th on the PGA Tour Canada money list with $17,190. Playing in 12 events, he earned one top-10 finish, at his first career tournament, made eight cuts and averaged 71.67 per round. See pgatour.com/ canada/en_us.html

Chilliwack four take on Toyko Four local athletes have qualified to represent Canada in the Gichin Funakoshi World Cup tournament, taking place Oct. 17-19 in Tokyo, Japan. This competition is the world championship for the several million people worldwide who practice Shotokan Karate with the Japan Karate Association. Jacob Maud, Damon McArther, Amanda Keriliuk and Salvina Sharp earned their place on the Canadian national team by placing in the top four at National Championships held earlier in the year. All four train under Sensei Don Sharp, who is no stranger to the biggest of stages. Sharp won the gold medal in Kumite (sparring) at the 1996 JKA Worlds. Since then, he has won several other national and international titles, including a silver medal at the 1997 Pan Am Games. Sharp is the chief instructor at the Valley Shidokan Traditional Karate club in Chilliwack. Maud, a first degree black belt, competed at the 2011 Funakoshi Cup in Thailand, placing eighth in both Kumite and Kata (forms). He is a Grade 11 student at Sardis secondary school. Amanda Keriliuk is a second degree black belt and recent graduate of Chilliwack secondary school. She joined Maud at the 2011 Funakoshi Cup, earning top-eight finishes in Kumite and Kata. Keriliuk has been training since she was eight years old. McArthur, who has been training since he was seven, is a second kyu brown belt and will try for his first degree before leaving. Most of his oppo-

nents will be black belts, making him an underdog. But he was in the same boat at nationals and earned first and third place finishes. McArthur is a Grade 10 student at Sardis secondary school. Salvina Sharp is a Sensei at Valley Shidokan, known by

her students as Sensei Sal. She coached Maud and Keriliuk at the Funakoshi Cup and is excited to compete alongside them. She’s qualified for this event a few times before, but injuries always prevented her from going.

The trip to Japan will be costly, and the four athletes have been raising money. They’ll hold one final fundraiser Oct. 4 at the Jolly Miller Pub. The night will include a silent auction. Email info@valleyshidokan.com for more info.
