Bills coming for nuisance alarms Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

Continued: ALARMS/ p13

Landlord Tony Rapaz says the dogs left behind in the garage at his Trethewey property pose a risk and he wants them removed.

Evicted tenants leave dogs behind Jessica Peters The Progress Removing bad tenants may be difficult, but getting rid of the animals they leave behind can be almost impossible. It’s a lesson learned by landlord Tony Rapaz this week, when the tenants he evicted from his Trethewey Avenue property left behind a pack of large and possibly dangerous dogs. On Saturday morning, he said he had the people removed from the home with the help of the RCMP. “They sell drugs, and I’m not going to be nice about it,” he said. But when they left, nobody packed up the dogs. And by Monday at 4 p.m. they were still there, barking and yelping at passersby from a ramshackle set-up in

an open garage. He guesses there are four or five dogs in the garage. There is no garage door on the building, but the tenants recently built a half wall out of plywood, set inside the garage. On Monday afternoon, dogs’ faces could be seen through an open slat in the wood. By Tuesday morning, someone had covered the slat with a blue tarp. Rapaz is furious, and said he’s getting no help from the FVRD and the SPCA. “What a friggin’ mess,” he said, as he tried on Monday to navigate myriad organizations in search of help. The RCMP told him the dogs are dangerous and he should stay away. But that keeps him from accessing his own property. He believes it’s possible the dogs are guarding a drug stash.

He’s contacted the City of Chilliwack, the FVRD CARE Centre and the SPCA, looking for anybody to take possession of the dogs. “Does somebody have to get hurt before they wake up?” he said. However, the FVRD’s Jennifer Kinneman said that the tenants have not left the property, and therefore nobody has any right to remove the dogs. “Our understanding is that the property owner may have evicted the tenant on May 1, however the tenant is in fact still living on the premise, and we have no legal authority to enter a property and remove the dogs,” she said. “He has been advised to seek legal counsel.” Kinneman said there is “no contravention of any bylaw,” but that

they are monitoring the situation. “They’re in an enclosed space and they’re not a threat to public safely,” she said. But Rapaz insists the house is empty, and said he’s been inside since he evicted the tenants – with RCMP standing by – over the weekend. “There is nobody in the house, it’s 100 per cent empty,” he said. He is also unaware if anyone is feeding the dogs. “They’re just going wild in there,” he said. “As you walk in the driveway, they sense you and just start barking and yelling and crying.” He said he worries about the animals’ well-being, but isn’t about to put himself in danger to care for the dogs.

Not one invoice has gone out from City of Chilliwack to charge for the nuisance of false alarms. But they’re coming. Officials are moving ahead this summer with plans to enforce the false alarm bylaw first passed by Chilliwack council in 2011 — but they’re doing it incrementally. Council voted recently to launch an information blitz this summer, with phased-in fees to be charged to property owners in cases where emergency services are called out unnecessarily after a security or fire alarm sounds. Up until this point, city officials relied on RCMP staff to notify them manually, and it was thought computerized software would be devised to automatically bill people for false intrusion alarms. But it turned out there was no way to do that, and as a result no false alarm invoices have ever been sent. But now the technical issue has been resolved and they’re ready to move forward, said city staffer Rob Carnegie at the last city council meeting, in a report to council. Staff started a project last year to tackle the false-alarm problem by developing invoicing software inhouse, using city hardware. “The systems are now ready for implementation however, with the amount of time that has elapsed since the bylaw was first introduced, staff are anticipating that property owners will have forgotten the requirements implemented through the enactment of this bylaw,” according to the staff report. It’s a problem because excessive fire alarms that call out police or fire services are considered a “nuisance.” The number of false alarms

Backpackers hit fundraising benchmark Jessica Peters The Progress A group of backpackers that includes Chilliwack’s Shaun Monty has raised more than $10,000 for the Nepal Red Cross. Now, they’re hoping for even more. The group gathered together in an online appeal for cash after the devastating earthquake ripped through Nepal April 25. They had initially asked supporters to reach into their pockets to raise the $10,000. But that’s a mere drop in the bucket for the amount that will be

needed to get the country back on its feet. Half a million tents are needed as temporary shelter for the country’s citizens, as the impending monsoon season approaches. The new benchmark that the group has set out is $25,000. Early this week, they were more than halfway there with almost $13,000. Monty is now back home in Chilliwack, but many international backpackers are still in areas of Nepal. This is summit season, said Sam Waddington, a city councillor who also is also an experienced climber and

owner of Mt. Waddington Outdoors, where Monty is an employee. “Two of our ambassador athletes were in the area doing some mountaineering,” Waddington said, when the earthquake hit. “I was actually in the Atlanta airport at the time,” he said. “I sent him a message and got word that he was okay about six hours later.” He said they had a list of about 10 or 12 people they knew and were concerned about, and that they’ve heard from all of them now. He said there is lots of work

to be done in Nepal to help, from road building to water treatment. “The effects down the road can worse,” he said, as cities and villages run out of resources and impassable roads limit aid. “We’re contributing to the Red Cross, and raising awareness through social media,” Waddington added. There is a donation box in his store on Vedder Road near Garrison Crossing. There will also be a by donation yoga class at Tzeachten Hall on Thursday, May 7 at 7 p.m. jpeters@theprogress.com

More post-secondary trades positions added Getting prepared for emergencies

Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. government is adding new trades seats to 12 postsecondary institutions, including UFV in Chilliwack, to allow students to sample different trades. The “trades discovery” program runs 10 to 12 weeks, providing hands-on experience. Those who complete the program can then enrol in a “foundation” program for the trade or seek an apprenticeship place with an employer. Premier Christy Clark donned her hardhat and joined high school students in new secondary trade programs for the announcement at the B.C. legislature this week. Jobs Minister Shirley Bond said the government has made progress in the Skills for Jobs Blueprint, launched a year ago to redesign the B.C. education system from elementary to post-secondary to match education up with high-demand jobs in the future. The additional funding of $727,500 is to provide 68 seats at Camosun College, 32 at College of New Caledonia, 32 at College of the Rockies, 16 at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, 16 at Nicola Valley Institute of Technology, 12 at North Island College, 40 at Northwest Community College, 32 at Okanagan College, 16 at Selkirk College, 30 at Thompson Rivers University, 16 at University of the Fraser

Valley and 16 at Vancouver Island University. Advanced Education Minister Andrew Wilkinson said the blueprint assigns 25 per cent of post-secondary funds to in-demand jobs, to fill positions left vacant by a wave of retirements in the coming decades. New or expanded trades facilities are underway at Camosun College, Okanagan College and Nicola Valley. According to the Industry Training Authority, more than

41,000 participants are now involved in an adult, youth or foundation trades program. Shane Simpson, the NDP’s critic for labour and skills, said the problem is not getting students started in trades, it is finding them apprenticeship places that put them on the job. The B.C. Federation of Labour has called on the government to put apprentice requirements into contracts for public construction projects. Simpson said there are also

few apprentices in the public service. Bond said in the legislature last week that she is concerned about the low completion rates in trade programs, and she expects to make an announcement soon about placements in government activities. “That work is nearly finished,” Bond said. “My goal is to ensure that we have incremental growth of apprentices on projects that are funded by taxpayers.”

Everyone is welcome to check out Emergency Preparedness Day in Chilliwack on the Sto:lo Nation grounds May 9. This is the second year they’re holding a community event to talk about emergency preparedness, said Samantha Bisaillon, lands officer at Tzeachten First Nation. “It’s all to promote awareness,” she said. This year they teamed up with City of Chilliwack and Sto:lo Nation for the public event this Saturday that will feature presentations, equipment displays, door prizes and a free lunch. There will be presentations on getting prepared to survive a disaster on individual and neighbourhood basis. Stations include: • Search & Rescue • Chilliwack Fire Department • RCMP • St. Johns Ambulance • Salvation Army • Fraser Health • Emergency Social Services • Amateur Radio It’s just in time for Emergency Preparedness Week in Canada May 3-9. “This week marks the 20th annual Emergency Preparedness Week, and this year’s theme is ‘Know the Risks. Reduce them Together,’” said Steven Blaney, Canada’s Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, in a statement. See more at www.getprepared.ca.

Chilliwack man sentenced after fleeing cops, crashing vehicle Vikki Hopes Black Press A man who fled from police and then crashed in a stolen vehicle in January of this year has been sentenced to 12 months in prison, followed by two years of probation. Brian Robert Stephan, 29, of Chilliwack was sentenced Friday (May 1) in Abbotsford provincial court. All charges were stayed against his co-accused, Stephanie Liane Glaister, 27.

The two faced a total of 17 charges after an incident that took place just after 2 a.m. on Jan. 5. Police were stopBrian Stephan ping traffic due to downed trees and power lines, when a Toyota 4Runner that had

been stopped on Short Road – south of Huntingdon/Vye Road between Gladwin and McCallum – abruptly turned around and sped away. Police broadcast the vehicle’s description, and several minutes later, a report came in of a singlevehicle crash in the 33800 block of Vye Road. The SUV had crashed into a fire hydrant and power pole, but was unoccupied when police arrived. Officers began looking for the driver and any passengers, and

the crashed Toyota was confirmed as having been stolen from Chilliwack. Shortly after, a Ford Explorer drove by officers eastbound on Vye Road. The Explorer had been stolen from a home in the 33900 block of Vye Road, where residents had reported a break-in and the theft of their car keys. The Explorer was stopped by a spike belt laid down by police. Stephan pleaded guilty to two counts of theft of a motor vehicle

and one count of driving a vehicle without due care and attention. He had also been charged with break-and-enter, failure to stop at an accident, flight from a peace officer, driving while prohibited and possession of stolen property, but those charges were stayed. Stephan is still before the courts on separate charges from 2013 and 2014 that include possession of stolen property, driving while prohibited, and breaching his bail and probation conditions.

Landlord looks for support LANDLORD from Front “Dogs need care,” he said. “But in reality I don’t have access to my property, I have to go paint and fix the property, it has to be painted, it has to be cleaned up.” The tenants never had permission to have dogs in the first place, he said. The tenancy agreement only allowed for one cat. But he believes the dogs don’t even belong to the ex-tenant, but to one of their adult children. “The tenants had been there for over a year, and those dogs just showed up in the last two months,” he said. And upon even more careful inspection of his tenancy policy,

Mike Rail said. “Police are engaged with the property owner in facilitating the removal of the dogs from the residence.” But so far, that hasn’t happened. Kinneman said that for landlords to have property removed, they have to apply to the BC Supreme Court, which would issue a writ of possession. A bailiff or RCMP member would then accompany the property owner during the removal. It’s a very similar process when the SPCA removes an animal, she added.

Black Press A lengthy labour dispute is over between Southern Railway of B.C. and its unionized employees. Members of CUPE local 7000 voted 68 per cent to ratify the new contract, which includes wage hikes totaling 10.5 per cent over seven years, while preserving or improving other benefits or working conditions. The U.S.-owned firm locked out its 126 employees Jan. 5. During the 119-day lockout Southern Railway managers ran the short line railway, which hauls cargo around the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. The lockout began after the union in December rejected a final contract offer of nearly 10 per cent in pay hikes spread over six years.

Army corporal walks to Chilliwack to raise PTSD awareness 2012, following a conversation with a close relative. Then, she was a corporal on medical leave due to a serious injury. And for a stretch of several days during that time, neglected to call her grandmother. When she remembered to call, the response she heard over line was: “I was starting to think you put on those army boots and walked across the world to save someone!” That sparked an idea, and soon “The Long Way Home” was a reality and she was on a self-assigned mission to cross the country and raise awareness. The 2012 Long Way Home was 576 km from Gagetown, NB to her hometown of Antigonish, NS and took 19 days. The next year, after being medi-

Jessica Peters The Progress A wounded war veteran has just set out to walk across the three most western provinces, in an effort to raise awareness surrounding mental health issues affecting soldiers. The route will cover 3,000 kilometres, beginning in Nipawin, SK, on May 1 and ending in Chilliwack on July 24, just days prior to the Wounded Warriors Weekend being held in this city. Kate MacEachern is walking to raise awareness of post traumatic stress disorder, and to reduce the stigma around the all-too-common condition that affects countless veterans. She began her mission in

DIABETES COACH STUDY Looking for Participants The University of Victoria and Fraser Health are conducting a study to evaluate the effectiveness of peer coaches for persons with type 2 diabetes. This research study is funded by the Lawson Foundation of Canada. Interested persons must be adults with type 2 diabetes living in the Fraser Health Region and able to speak English or Punjabi. The objective of the study is to determine whether peer diabetes coaches can assist persons with type 2 diabetes to better manage their condition.

cally released from the military, Kate walked 1876 km from Cape Breton, NS, to Ottawa, ON. “When I got off the phone with my Nanny, something clicked,” MacEachern said. “The thoughts I had about desperately wanting to help others struggling with injuries, plus the comment about walking across the world in my army boots sparked something. I wondered; could she be onto something?” MacEachern was a member of the mounted troop in the Lord Strathcona’s Horse Regiment when she suffered life-threatening injuries. She has had a long, arduous road to recovery and continues to struggle with PTSD. MacEachern’s third and final

walk began on May 1, in Nipawin, the city where the first Wounded Warriors Weekend was held. It will be her hardest and longest trek, traveling great distances over mountain passes. All along the way, MacEachern and her team will be welcomed into Legion halls and Anavets Clubs, and met with supporters walking portions of the journey along the way. For those who can’t join her in person, there is an online map that shows her progress, and highlighted events along the way. And keep in mind, this isn’t a leisurely walk. MacEachern will carry along a 45 lb. rucksack, as a physical reminder of the burden those with PTSD carry every day. “Many don’t realize the emo-

tion that goes into these marches,” she said. “Out on the road, there is a constant struggle to stay focused and not let emotion take over. Strong mind, strong body. It’s a lonely journey in many ways, physically and psychologically.” Donations given to this year’s “The Long Way Home” will be divided among three service dog organizations (PAWS Fur Thought and The NASH Project and Alpha K9) and Wounded Warriors Weekend Foundation. She begins the B.C. leg of her journey in Sparwood on June 16, traveling through Fernie, Cranbrook, Creston, Castlegar, Rock Creek, Kelowna, Merritt and Hope before stopping in Chilliwack.

News Canada Day plans now in full swing Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Canada Day in Chilliwack promises to be all about family, food and fun for 2015. But a few key elements are changing this year. After the 2014 event, the Chilliwack Community Ar ts Council announced it was stepping down from its long-established role of coordinating the local Canada Day Celebration. “With less than a year before the next event, the need to secure a business or organization with experience in event planning became a priority,� according to the city staff report. The city is proposing to hire Trevor McDonald of McDonald Enterprises to organize the Canada Day entertainment, according to the staff report, in order to get everything nailed down in time for the July 1 event. A vote on the related funding request was scheduled for the afternoon session of the Tuesday city council meeting. All Canada Day activities will take place at Townsend Park this year to make it easier for participants who previously complained about having to travel from the Landing site to the adjacent at Townsend Park to see the highly anticipated fireworks display. As usual Canada Day will start early with a pancake breakfast, hosted by the Sardis Kiwanis Club. Food trucks are expected to be on site. The final budget is yet to be determined but Prospera Credit Union and Chances have offered to share funding cost for the Canada Day event, which in the past has worked with a budget of about $60,000. Council was expected to vote Tuesday on increasing its funding from $3,000 last year to $4,965 this year for enter tainment and event coordination. Another $14,000 will be required for the fireworks. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

R AESIDE

The destruction in Nepal provides a sobering reminder as we mark emergency preparedness week here in Chilliwack and across the province. Mount Baker, looming dormant just a few kilometres south of the city, is an obvious example of the Pacific Ring of Fire that the West Coast belongs to. But there are others. The 6.1 earthquake off the coast of Haida Gwaii two weeks ago again illustrated the tectonic forces at work beneath our feet. In fact, two of the largest earthquakes to ever rattle the seismic recording devices in Canada have occurred in the region. Before that, the grand-daddy of them all struck in 1700. The quake, estimated at 9 on the Richter scale, was felt as far away as Japan and sent tsunami waves washing across entire native villages. Geologists are united in the conviction that a similar earthquake could occur anytime. Indeed, as time goes on and stress builds, the likelihood increases. Earthquakes aren’t unusual in B.C. (There were 288 in the province last year.) Most, thankfully, are not felt. But experts agree that it’s simply a matter of time before a major, damaging quake hits our region. That reality is not meant to frighten people; it’s meant to spur action. While we can look to government to strengthen building codes, allocate emergency resources and facilitate disaster planning, real emergency preparedness begins at home. It starts with simple steps that you and your family can take to ensure that if an emergency occurs your household is able to look after itself for at least 72 hours. That means having a sufficient supply of water (at least two litres per person per day), canned goods (and a manual can opener), something to help you stay warm and dry, a first aid kit, and maybe some cash. If special medications are needed, make sure there is also an adequate supply of those. And if you have pets, don’t forget about their needs. Keep your supplies updated, and store them in a place you can get to in an emergency (not the farthest basement corner). Hopefully, they’ll never be needed. But as the experts say, it’s better to be prepared than to be sorry. There is information online (www.embc.gov.bc.ca/) that can help you prepare. Take the time to learn more. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

B.C. V IEWS

Time for teachers to question union VICTORIA – After the first few glum lines of his speech, it was difficult to tell anything had changed for B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker as he took his familiar place before the TV cameras last week. Iker droned on about how B.C. schools are under-funded by hundreds of millions of dollars, echoing demands from the disastrous strike he led the union membership into last year. The B.C. Court of Appeal had just overturned a bizarre trial court decision that tried to give the union everything it wanted: a trip back in time to the NDP wonderland of 2001, a constitutional spanking for the B.C. Liberal government and a $2 million bonus of taxpayers’ money. The BCTF must now pay back that $2 million and scrape up whatever is left of its members’ compulsory dues to plead for an

appeal at the Supreme Court of Canada, continuing the executive’s self-righteous fantasy of controlling education spending in B.C. The appeal court didn’t just over tur n the judgment of B.C. Supreme Cour t Justice Susan Griffin. It shredded her legal reaTom FLETCHER soning and bluntly corrected her, over and over, on evidence she ignored or misinterpreted. The appeal court confirmed at great length what I said when Griffin’s second decision came down in early 2014: it was far worse for B.C. schools than when judges decided in 2005 that teachers can bring union propaganda into classrooms.

Did the government bargain in bad faith? No. Did they conspire to provoke a strike? No. Did they illegally strip working conditions from the teacher contract? No. Turns out our kids are not just “working conditions” for teachers, and public policy still matters. And it turns out that making special needs assistants dash between classes to deal with two kids here and three over there was a lousy idea. Now there’s even a credit course offered in high school for students with learning difficulties, which probably has some BCTF minion crafting a pile of grievances about segregation. In the negotiated settlement reached last fall, teachers shared $105 million to make thousands of baseless grievances go away, after the union filed one for student numbers in every class in the province. This bloated per-

petual protest machine drains the public purse in more ways than taxpayers realize. Parents understand the strikes, though. They remember a union that scrapped report cards, disrupted administration and forced schools to shut down at graduation time. The strike then dragged into the fall, as the government held the line on public service spending. And what was the key issue that kept schools closed? It wasn’t special needs support, where student performance has continued to improve. No, it was the BCTF demanding a raise twice as big as other public sector unions had already accepted. In the end, their paltry strike fund long gone, the union grudgingly accepted the going rate. They figured they had the elected government on the run in court. Wrong again.

Next up for the ministry is taking control of professional development. A bill before the legislature will enforce standards, once the NDP is done denouncing it. Singing Solidarity Forever around a campfire and calling it paid professional development (a real example, by the way) will soon go the way of the union-controlled College of Teachers – onto the scrap heap of history. There are BCTF members who understand how ill-served they are by their union. They are looking critically at the performance of their leaders, who are too often distracted by grandiose “social justice” campaigns as far away as the Middle East.

Kits Coast Guard station still needed Re: “Coast Guard hysteria sinks lower” (B.C. Views, Chilliwack Progress, April 29). I believe I may be the “retired captain from the now-closed Kitsilano Coast Guard station” referred to by Tom Fletcher. I am a disgruntled Canadian citizen and voter, not a disgruntled retiree of the Coast Guard. I was good at my job and loved my career. I retired after 32 years of service to an organization that employs so many talented and hard-working people, all dedicated to lifesaving, marine safety and yes environmental response. I didn’t even think of getting involved until such time that the exaggerations and fabrications

began pouring from the Coast Guard’s commissioners and deputy commissioners’ mouths, all for the purpose of saving the Prime Minister’s reputation for just one of his many ill-thoughtout cuts. The Coast Guard Station Kitsilano was primarily a rescue boat station, but “Kits Base” was also one of the best equipped and trained lifeboat stations in Canada. That’s a fact, not some jaded opinion from a disgruntled exemployee. We fought fires, responded to numerous oil spills yearly, rescued and assisted hundreds of mariners and boaters annually, trained many “basic oil pollution responders” annu-

Canadian voters? Not really. Let’s take off the blinders, Mr. Oliver. There are so many more voters with potential; more dreams and talents from the youth of Canada, more people energy, yet to be released that could benefit from incentives. How does a government develop a vision and then go on to nurture the trust and teamwork needed for a population to rally together for the future? Was the so-called balanced budget the remedy? Not so much. It was troubling to watch the finance minister explain the deficit shortfall away by using the revenue of our tax money invest-

ally (until that program was shut down also). The staff at the station also monitored and helped to maintain navigational aids in the busy harbour. I was a coxswain at Kitsilano Base, a trained pollution response technician and a licensed hovercraft pilot. Because of retirement I can now speak freely, unlike the Coast Guard personnel who are still employed and unable to comment due to fear of repercussions from management. How do you explain closing one of the busiest Coast Guard stations in the country to save $700,000 a year? When will Canadians wake up?

Budget fails future generations On April 21, Joe Oliver unveiled his 2015 federal budget for these last six months to go, of the Harper government’s management of Canada. Leading up to the coming Oct. 19 federal election, this budget appears to be geared to a select group of Canadians. It’s like a yellow brick road to the polling stations. Seniors with comfortable incomes, upper bracket, two incomesplitting families and the very rare Canadians with $10,000 jingling in their pockets, are the favoured ones. These are mostly the cherry picked voters Conservative party has targeted to romance. A majority of

ments; of early cashout of GM shares and also pulling massive money contributions from the government’s contingency fund. So then, where’s the insurance for oncoming crashes and sudden emergencies, like immediate Coast Guard responses to nasty surprises? When Joe Oliver says that the challenges of climate change should not be engaged by present leadership but instead be solved by our grandchildren; there doesn’t appear to even be any support or preparation earmarked for millenials in this growing concern. I do not see any Canadian spirit or vision in this attitude, either. Call for the binoculars

and look to the horizon! Surprise! Many seniors are waving red flags and we are very concerned for all our grandchildren’s preparedness factor for future climate challenges. Mr. Oliver’s telling Canadian youth in order to prepare for their futures... to just “get out there and get loans” and consequently struggle with lifelong debt is just so unacceptable. A government that acts like an Emerald City Voice and manipulates behind a vast curtain of omnibus bills cannot hope to gain the trust and confidence from the majority of Canadian citizens, in my opinion.

Road apples and the Rotary Trail In regards to equestrian riders should clean up, (Readers Write, Progress, May 1.) I will start by saying I do not have a horse, but I use that trail very often, and have never found horse buns to be a big problem. Horse dropping are made up of grass, hay, grain, not so offen-

sive as dog. Luckily they are easily spotted and are very easy to walk or ride a bike around. It is unrealistic to expect riders to bag it. I often see little plastic bags left on the trail with dog feces, I wouldn’t want to see that on bigger scale with horse

manure. The Rotary trail by the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve is on rural land, not in the city, so it is to be expected that there might be the occasional road apples on the trail.

Where Business Happens! May is always an exciting month for all the Chambers of Commerce in BC. We will be attending the 63rd AGM of the BC Chamber; held this year in Prince George, BC. Topics to be tackled include, ‘The Chamber Brand’, Marketing, Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) and what that means for BC, Oil Sands and pipelines, BC’s Future Workforce and a panel discussion with seasoned media experts. One of the highlights will be the Policy Resolution Sessions where delegates will vote on policies put forward by various Chambers of Commerce throughout BC. Policies cover a wide variety of topics; from Environment, Finance and Skilled Labour, to Justice and Regulatory Reform. Policies are positioned to be lobbied and presented at the Community, Municipal, and Local level, as well as the Provincial and Federal echelons of government. The wide range of policy makes these sessions very interesting and we are able to add your voice, addressing issues that are vital to the wellbeing of our community. President Kirk Dzaman and I made a presentation last week at the ‘Healthier Communities Committee’ about ‘Mental Wellness at the workplace’. I

would encourage all business owners to look at the processes they have in place to encourage Mental Wellness. If your employees feel safe in the workplace and there is a process in place (even a designated person they can contact) to address issues; this is proven to improve the work environment, fulfilment and overall productivity. Please give this some thought and reflect on what this looks like in your business. Mental health issues cannot always be seen from the outside, but they have a huge impact on your bottom line. If your workplace has the right, safe environment; your employees are happier and work harder. This leads to rewards for their hard work and achievement; creates respect and fulfillment in the workplace, which make for a happier, fulfilled community. The Canada-BC Job Grant (CJG) has been expanded; this is an innovative cost-sharing program that helps employers offset the cost of training for new or current employees by sharing the cost of employee training with BC employers. Employers can receive up to two-thirds of the cost of training for current and future employees, and up to Dr. Bonnie Randhawa has been practicing for over 13 years in family dentistry. She provides dental care in a warm and welcoming atmosphere with techniques that meet the highest standards of modern dentistry. With her expertise and commitment to education for herself and her staff, you will see the difference for yourself. It is all about your smile!

Women in Rotary

For members of the general public, Rotary International is often viewed as an exclusively male social club, consisting purely of businessmen and professionals who assist each other in their various interests, while occasionally doing good works in the community. One of the main misconceptions in the above statement is the mistaken impression that Rotary is a purely male domain, today nothing could be further from the truth. Approximately twenty percent of The Chilliwack Rotary Club’s members are women. Women also currently occupy the executive positions of president, president elect and secretary. The first woman to be inducted into the Chilliwack Rotary Club in 1989 was former Olympian and Chilliwack YMCA C.E.O. Amelie Koloska. The second female inductee came within the next year and a steady stream followed from that point on. There is certainly no ‘’Glass Ceiling ‘’ for women within the Chilliwack Rotary club when it comes to opportunities and the club is by far the better for it. And while there is a strong social component to membership that promotes fellowship, the main motivating force within the organization is contained within its motto: Service Before

Self. Rotarians world – wide consistently offer their time, skills and knowledge to help create a better world and environment, not only within their own communities but within many needy communities abroad. The inclusion of women in this effort has, without a doubt, made our outreach more efficient and encompassing. If you would like to join us in our Service Above Self projects, we’re always looking for, enthusiastic new members.

ith a passion for Environmental Biology, Lauren intends to pursue a career in scientific research. An outstanding student with excellent study skills, strong work ethic and exceptional organizational skills, Lauren is well prepared to achieve her goal. Lauren’s work outside the classroom at Sardis Secondary has also prepared her to take on a challenging post-secondary program. As a member of the Sardis Secondary Cross Country and Track and Field teams she has made multiple appearances at the provincial meets. As a student leader, she has organized many events and played the key role of MC at our school assemblies. Lauren has been a member of the school grad committee and was a driving force in organizing the school’s first Run for Water. She worked as part of the Community Club to raise funds for various local charities. Her service and leadership extends into the community in her work with Heritage Village and Pacific Riding for Developing Abilities. She is described by her teachers as genuine, caring, hardworking, and positive.

alyn currently serves on student council as Secretary and uses this position to positively affect things going on in the school. She is an active leader in the school and participates in many school athletic events, including track and field. Kalyn has volunteered with the African Relief Club since 2012 as well as the Environmental Club. Just recently Kalyn worked with a group of other students raising $2000 selling tulips for the Ann Davis Transitional Society. She is also involved in other community events including Tween Night held at Rosedale Traditional School and Safety Village.

This heavy workload and constant activity has created a year of obstacles for Derek. Many of these obstacles have been difficult to overcome but have made the year more interesting at the same time.

Kalyn understands the importance of being involved and giving back to her community. She has a positive outlook on life that permeates into everything that she does. The first thing you notice about her is her enthusiasm and inquisitive mind that makes teaching fun. Kalyn achieves good academic grades, while being a leader within the Chilliwack community.

After high school, Derek plans to train in the field of Biomedical Engineering. Derek then plans to apply to medical school, where he will become a surgeon and a specialist in the field of ophthalmology.

The number of false alarms totalled 71 in Chilliwack at the outset of the year in January 2015, and have gone up ever since. In February there were 77 false alarm calls, and in March 2015 there were even more with a total of 92 false alarms. Council voted last meeting for the phased-in approach to let people know gradually about the changes. But before any actual invoices are fired off, a public info campaign will

kick off by next month. A second phase will see property owners get warnings of what they would have been billed. And the third phase will see the invoicing system kicked into gear, but only after the second report of a false alarm. “From that point onward all property owners will be required to comply with the full terms of this bylaw,” according to the report.

Great Ways to Say Thank You on Mother’s Day

Hanging baskets

SHARP MUSIC CENTRE 05/15W_BS6

• Catch a concert: You may or may not have the same taste in music as your Mom,

but surprising her with concert tickets can be an ideal way to show you care about her hobbies and interests. Many bands and singers that experienced their heyday when Mom was spinning her vinyl records or popping a tape in the cassette deck are still pumping out hits today. And chances are they’re performing at venues around the country, too. Maybe she likes the adultcontemporary sounds of Michael BublÊ. Or she’s a country gal interested in seeing Brad Paisley. Mom may love the hard rock of the 1980s, and scoring tickets to a Bon Jovi concert will knock her socks off. • On to the theater: Perhaps your mother would be interested in seeing a play or musical. You don’t need to travel to Broadway these days to see top stars in the shows you love. Traveling troupes and even local venues host popular stage shows. Just be sure to book early if you desire weekend tickets. They tend to go fast. • Girls’ day out: Maybe Mom just desires spending a day out with her friends, other female companions or you. Give her a gift certificate to a favorite restaurant and allow her to enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner.

M

other’s Day is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world. Many countries and cultures choose to celebrate Mother’s Day in March, April or May. Though the Mother’s Day many people know today dates back a little more than a century, historians note that ancient Romans kept a festival to Cybele, a great mother of the Gods. In addition, Europe has several traditions aimed at honoring mothers that date back quite a while. One of the traditions associated with the current Mother’s Day is to give Mom a gift. Some people only give their own mothers and wives gifts, while others extend their generosity to sisters with children, mothers-in-law and even grandmothers. Chances are, over the years Mom’s gifts have run the gamut, from a homemade treasure kids made in elementary school to jewelry from hubby to breakfast in bed. For those who want to add a literary tilt to their Mother’s Day gift this year, consider including any of the following motherly quotes when preparing a gift Mom won’t soon forget.

Raku pottery and paint in picturesque park It’s a rare chance to try out a pottery technique known as Raku that will yield some truly unique pieces. The Raku in the Valley event, presented by Chilliwack Community Arts Council in partnership with Rainforest Pottery, is set for Saturday, May 23 in Thompson Park, along with Paint the Park. Artistic activities and exhibits will be featured all day long in the park on Chilliwack Lake Road, with live music by Tractorgrease Cafe, Artisans in the Park

and a barbecue hosted by the Chilliwack River Valley Fire Department. Anyone who likes pottery will adore Raku. Based on an ancient Japanese technique, Raku pottery is fired in the open air with a special kiln. The interaction of fire, smoke, water and glaze produces brilliant effects ranging from crackled or smoky patterns to a glowing metallic finish. Pre-registration of $10 per pot can be done through the Arts Council by phone (604)769-2787 or at The Art Room

Add some fresh colour to kitchen cabinets Many homeowners dream of giving their kitchens a full-scale remodel. Though such a project can give a kitchen an entirely new look, that look may be beyond many homeowners’ budgets. Homeowners who cannot afford a full remodel can still give their kitchens a new look and can do so for relatively little money. Painting kitchen cabinets a new colour or simply giving fading cabinets a fresh coat of paint can instantly add life to a kitchen, giving the room an entirely different feel. If you’re considering painting your kitchen cabinets, there are a few things to consider. Assess your existing cabinets. Some cabinet materials, including wood and metal, can be repainted without much of a fuss. But other materials, including plastic laminate, are not so amenable to repainting, and will likely require specialty paints. Homeowners with plastic laminate cabinets should first paint a spot or two with a sample paint, being careful to choose a spot that’s concealed. If the paint bonds well to the plastic laminate, then you can go forward and buy enough paint to redo all of the cabinets. If the paint does

Remove the doors and hardware. When painting cabinets, it’s best to essentially disassemble them, removing the doors, handles, knobs, latches, and any additional hardware. When removing hardware, be sure to set them aside in clearly marked plastic bags so it’s easier to reassemble the cabinets once the fresh coat of paint has dried. As doors are removed, number each door and its corresponding location, much like products that require assembly are numbered at the factory. This makes it easier to reassemble and ensures the cabinets and their hinges will align properly once you have finished painting.

Garden-inspired decor brightens spaces and mood Many homeowners take up gardening to transform their homes with beautiful flowers and foliage, while others do so to yield fresh fruits and vegetables. But gardening can be more than just a weekend hobby. In fact, it may be especially beneficial for homeowners to surround themselves with more plants and natural decor, whether in the yard or in the home. Studies have indicated that gardening can be good for the mind and body. In addition to improving mood and reducing stress, plant life and gardening also may help people have a more hopeful outlook on life. If reaping the benefit of a beautiful landscape is not reason enough to get into gardening, elevating your mood and coping with depression or illness may be even further motivation to start developing your green thumb. Home-design trends seem to be following suit, offering individuals more opportunities to surround themselves with potentially therapeutic plants. Explore these emerging and established garden décor trends to try in and around your home.

LIVING WALL PLANTERS A living wall planter can add greenery to any décor without taking up floor or table space. Ideal for outdoor structures, these planters also can be used indoors if you safeguard against leaks and dripping. A living wall planter is a framed device that houses plants in a manner that enables them to be

vertically mounted to a wall surface. While there are commercially available models, you can create your own design and paint or stain it to match the existing décor. Use a soil-free potting substrate to avoid the mess that regular soil may create. COMBINING FISH WITH GARDENING Enjoy the best of two relaxing worlds by installing a water feature in your yard. Garden retailers offer ready-made kits that can make fast work of establishing a pond or other water feature in the backyard. Otherwise, there are plenty of water garden companies and installers who can suggest a design and put in your desired water features. Add fish suitable for outdoor life to your pond. These include koi and certain goldfish varieties. Game fish are discouraged because they can destroy pond plants. If an outdoor pond is more maintenance than you

desire, consider an indoor aquarium with a combination of fish and live aquarium plants. CREATIVE FURNITURE DESIGNS Maybe you’re a person who appreciates the unique and whimsical? Tables, benches and chairs can be built with planting channels that enable you to have greenery and garden décor in one piece. Envision a picnic table with a cutout down the middle for a thin row of plants or decorative grasses. This is a project the entire family can get behind, as the more creative ideas the better. IMPROVED OUTDOOR LIGHTING People who like to spend time in their gardens and yards may not want to be limited by sunrise and sunset. By incorporating different lighting sources, you can create a retreat that is welcoming at any hour. Although flood lights and overhead lights can illuminate a space, consider ambient and decorative lighting to create the desired ambiance.

FUNCTIONAL FIRE PITS AND PLACES A blazing fire creates a cozy spot to gather on chilly evenings, but fire pits and fireplaces also can be used as impromptu cooking spots for s’mores or hotdogs on a stick. You can purchase a standalone fire pit from any number of retailers or build your own with patio pavers and fire bricks to line the interior of the fire pit. Outdoor fireplaces require more work, and you want to hire a mason to ensure proper installation. ENJOYABLE YARD ADDITIONS While plants and seating may take centre stage, some people still want to have fun in their yards. There’s an increased demand for yard designs and décor that can put the fun in backyard living. Bocce courts, ring or horseshoe-toss setups, as well as bean bag toss boards, can be incorporated into landscape designs, giving you yet another reason to spend a few hours in the great outdoors, where you can experience a few healthy laughs in the process.

Adding colour to your kitchen Create the garden of Mom’s dreams! Begin with the inside edges and openings of the face frames, followed by the outer cabinet sides and then the front of the frames. Then move on to the cabinet doors and any drawer fronts you might be painting as well. Cabinets with more elaborate designs require closer attention to detail than flat cabinets. When painting, opt for thin coats, which dry more quickly and also create fewer visible brushstrokes. When applying multiple coats, allow the paint ample time to dry between coats. Four hours between coats is a good rule of thumb, and lightly resand all surfaces before applying the second and final coat of paint.

Don’t paint dirty surfaces. Cabinet surfaces have likely collected their share of dirt, grease and grime over the years, so you want to clean these surfaces thoroughly before painting. Once surfaces have been cleaned, rinse them off and give them ample time to dry.

Sand the surfaces. Once the surfaces have been cleaned and are completely dry, it’s time to start sanding them. Lightly sand the doors using a wood sanding block, working to create a firm base to which fresh paint can easily adhere. Areas that are Reassemble the cabinets. Once the final coat of most exposed to wear and tear may require some paint has fully dried, carefully reassemble your extra elbow grease, and some areas may be especially cabinets and then enjoy the fresh and inexpensive flaky. When old paint is flaking off, this means new look that your freshly painted cabinets have the previous finish did not adhere very well to the created. surface, which is not necessarily uncommon in kitchens, where moisture and grease residue can make it harder for paint to adhere to the surface. In such instances, sand the flaky areas to the bare wood before spotpriming with a primer or sealer designed for areas with heavy staining.

Certain projects have a history of providing a greater return on homeowners’ investments than others. The following renovation tips can add beauty to your home and generate great returns when you put the home up for sale. INVEST IN YOUR KITCHEN Kitchen remodels are a safe bet when it comes to putting money into improving a home. Residents tend to spend a great deal of time in the kitchen, but a dated, poorly functioning kitchen can detract from the value of a home, even if the rest of the home is in good shape. It’s possible to recoup between 60 and 120 percent of your kitchen remodel investment, especially if the kitchen matches up well with the rest of your home. Homeowners should know that a deluxe renovation may not be necessary, as relatively moderate improvements can create a whole new look for a kitchen.

Homeowners choose renovation projects for a variety of reasons. Although many improvements are made to increase functionality and comfort of a home, several others are seen as worthwhile investments. These investments can add up to a higher resale value when the time comes to sell a home.

LOOK TO PAINT One of the least expensive improvement materials, but one that has a significant impact, is paint. Neutral, modern colours can easily liven up any space. If

you paint with low-VOC paint, you also can advertise an ecofriendly home, which is very desirable these days. PUT IN ANOTHER BATHROOM Multiple bathrooms are an attractive selling point, particularly in older homes that may not have been equipped with

more than one bathroom. Finding extra space for a bathroom can be tricky, but consider closets, areas under stairs or even taking some space away from another room. Popular home-improvement television channel HGTV advises that half-bathrooms require at

Home renos that add value RENOVATE THE HVAC SYSTEM Aesthetic improvements aren’t the only ones that add value to a home. Many home buyers are eager to purchase a home that has a new heating and cooling system, as buyers understand that furnaces and air conditioning units are substantial investments that can last for years. Other improvements, such as adding attic insulation or replacing older windows and doors with more energy efficient options, also are smart bets.

PUT A DECK ADDITION OUTDOORS Outdoor living spaces have become more desirable, especially as the “staycation” has grown in popularity. Decks and patios can make backyards more appealing. The scope of your investment will depend on the size of the deck and design. Doing the work yourself can cut the cost of decks in half, but only if you have the specific tools or experience to tackle such a project.

IMPROVE CURB APPEAL Adding attractive landscaping and freshening up the entryway to a home can add considerable value to your home, as buyers judge homes by their exteriors. Completely renovated interiors may never be seen if buyers pass up your home because of a less attractive exterior. Classy, subtle changes, like well-placed shrubbery and a green lawn, can work wonders. An inviting front door and well-lit entryway also add curb appeal to a home.

Adventures of Barnic the Pirate at G.W. Graham Arrrh, matey! Ready to set sail next week with Barnic the Pirate? The Adventures of Barnic the Pirate is theatrical fun for the entire family at G.W. Graham Theatre May 13-15. The play is written by local playwright and drama teacher Damon Fultz. The protagonist, Floyd, is a mildmannered accountant who daydreams of one day living the life of adventure on the seven seas. His fondest dream is to become an honest-to-goodness pirate. One day while having a meal at his favourite diner, Salty Pete’s Seafood Emporium and Pancake House, his bold dreams come to life, and he actually becomes Barnic the Pirate. This hilarious set of pirate-related adventures include a duel with a bad-tempered Easter Bunny, and getting lost in the fairy tale forest. Barnic and his swash-buckling pals learn that being a pirate is a lot tougher than they figured. The Adventures of Barnic the Pirate opens at G.W. Graham on Wednesday, May 13 and runs to Friday, May 15 at 7 p.m. There is a special matinee on Saturday, May 16 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $8 for Adults and $5 for Kids/Seniors at Sardis Save-On Foods, the G.W. Graham office and at the door.

Miss Somewhere is the story of three 20-somethings on a quest for a better life. Written by playwright Cait Archer of Chilliwack, the original play is back on stage May 15-16. It’s playing in Chilliwack as a two-night preview before heading to the Fraser Valley Zone Theatre Festival, on the heels of a great reception at the UFV Directors’ Festival 2013. Nicky, Steph, and Allison, are the three friends in their 20s, who are seeking some balance for the chaos of their lives — in wildly different places. Nicky keeps getting caught between her faith and her biological urges. Steph has been shunning love for so long that she doesn’t know what to do with it when it comes her way again. While Allison

struggles with chronic depression, which definitely isn’t helped by the unwanted attentions of her ex-boyfriend. Together, they navigate the stormy waters of love, sex, friendship, and serotonin production. The entire 2013 cast has stayed involved with the project, with original actors Cheyenne Douglas-Ruttan, Geneva Perkins, Danielle Advertising Feature

ettle in for a truly enchanting evening; the best of musical masters Rodgers and Hammerstein comes to the HUB International Theatre with Out of a Dream on May 10! Inspired by two true greats of the genre, Out of a Dream conjures an atmosphere of pure elation, unbridled devotion, and profound passion. This glorious evening of song is a must-see for lovers of musical theatre from any generation. Rodgers and Hammerstein are the talented team behind The King & I, The Sound of Music, South Pacific, and so many more. This romantic and nostalgic revue brings your favourite show tunes to life in a magical evening tied together by one of the most famous duos in musical theatre. Celebrated performer and director Peter Jorgenson brings a wide and wonderful variety of songs together in a timeless journey through love; from blossoming ardour to unbearable separation, Out of a Dream explores every facet of romance. The result is a truly beautiful show, brimming with emotion and nostalgia! From “Edelweiss” to “Some Enchanted Evening” watch as the glorious songbook of Rodgers and Hammerstein comes to life – and be caught up in its unrestrained passion! “It’s called ‘Out of a Dream’ because that’s what it should feel like,” Jorgenson says. “I’m hoping people just feel swept away into this nostalgic world for a couple of hours.” This inspirational musical collection is brought to life on stage by a cast

of stunning actors and vocalists. Set off perfectly by vibrant costumes and a gorgeous set, Out of a Dream is a completely enthralling rediscovery of the best numbers ever written for musical theatre. The result is a dazzling and elegant performance – both visually and vocally! More than a musical revue, it’s a heartfelt love letter to the talent of Rodgers and Hammerstein.

stellar cast features some of Vancouver’s most talented musical theatre performers, and together they bring the best-loved songs from Rodgers and Hammerstein to life once more.

“Contemporary musical theatre really began with them, and the risks they took as writers,” says Jorgenson, who was inspired by these monumental writers from a young age. “You can write differently today, but you can’t write any better.”

Rodgers and Hammerstein: Out of a Dream is proudly sponsored by The Chilliwack Progress, Amax Praetorian, the British Columbia Arts Council, Unger Window and Door, the City of Chilliwack, the Province of British Columbia, and the department of Canadian Heritage.

Warmenhoven, Matt Janzen, and Casey Por returning for the Chilliwack Players Guild production. “Since we did this show last time, the script and everyone involved in the production has grown up,” says assistant director Gabriel Kirkley, who also served as the dramaturge on the original production. “And now to have other companies and people from across the country interested in what Cait and the rest of us created is incredible.” Since appearing at DFest, the piece has undergone rewrites, a workshopping session with the original cast, and a one-night-only production by the Actor’s

Workshop Theatre at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, B.C. “It’s a project that’s really close to our hearts,” said director Cait Archer, a University of the Fraser Valley alumni and longtime CPG member. “It was really heartening to me when, given the opportunity to remount the production, all of the original actors were on board almost instantly. “ The cast is rounded out by Danny Campbell and Liam Archer in roles written for the updated version of the script. “Our whole group is very engaged and creative, which makes rehearsal a dynamic, exploratory process, as theatre should be.” The play contains coarse language and adult situations, and is not advised for children under 14. Miss Somewhere, May 15 and 16, 7:30 p.m. in the Rotary Theatre at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. Tickets are available at the CCC, by calling 604-391-SHOW, or at chilliwackculturalcentre. ca

Rodgers and Hammerstein: Out of a Dream takes to the stage in the HUB International Theatre on Sunday, May 10 at 7:30pm. Tickets are $35 for adults, $32 for seniors, and $30 for students.

Clapp a contender on Canadian tour

Brad Clapp plays in the 1st round of the PGA Tour Canada Tour Championship on September 11, 2014 at Sunningdale Golf and Country Club in London, ON. CLAUS ANDERSEN/PGA TOUR CANADA

Eric J. Welsh, The Progress More than any other sport, golf will raise you up to dizzying heights, then send you crashing to the ground. From tournament to tournament. From hole to hole. From shot to shot. Consider the case of Brad Clapp, who debuted on the PGA Canada Tour around this time last year, with a sparkling second place finish at the PC Financial Open. Clapp blazed to a 15 under par at the Point Grey Golf and Country Club, pocketed $13,500

in prize money and an exemption for the 2015 tour. “After that first event I caught myself being too — I don’t want to say conceited — but I felt like my chin was raised higher than it needed to be,” he said. “I saw some of the guys who’d done it for four or five years and had that demeanor and I was the rookie emulating them.” And that’s when golf knocks you down. Clapp, a friendly amiable sort who will spend just as much time talking to one of the 300 volunteers at any given event as he will a fellow pro, was quick to cor-

rect himself. “I’m not sure how I recognized it, but I needed a kick down to reality,” he said. “And nothing does that like missing cuts.” The remainder of the year helped keep him humble. Next week he barely made the cut in Victoria, struggling to a four-over-par at the Bayview Place Island Savings Open. He missed three of the next four cuts. After striking it rich in his dazzling debut, the Chilliwack Golf Club instructor earned just $3,990 in the next 11 tournaments combined.

“The biggest thing I learned about myself last year is I need to stay a bit more patient,” the 28 year old said. “I found myself pressing the envelope too quickly, worrying about results rather than playing my shot at my time.” “The biggest thing I learned about my game is I wasn’t a good enough putter,” he continued. “I hit the ball just as good as anyone, but my short game wasn’t anywhere close. When you play against some of the best players in the world, something like that is magnified a thousand times.” Many weeks, Clapp felt two or three putts

could have been the difference between a top10 finish and a missed cut, and he’s spent hours and hours working on it this winter. He just bought a house and installed a nine-and-ahalf by 24 foot putting green in one of the rooms. “I’ve never dedicated myself to this part of my game as hard as I did this offseason,” he said. “I’ve been out there three or four hours a day, hitting the same 10 footer over and over and over again.” It took Clapp a while after last season ended to want to go back, look at his scores and selfanalyze.

Over 500 replacement cars.

He didn’t have time to do so during the season, with hours at a premium. Between four rounds of golf, practice rounds and pro-am appearances, May to September was a big, chaotic blur. When things finally settled down in early October, he wasn’t sure he wanted to selfassess. “I was scared of what I would find, if I’m being truthful with myself,” he said. Clapp knew he’d done some good things, including a 10-under-par 39th place finish at the ATB Classic in Calgary and a nine-under-par 36th place finish at the Wildfire Invitational in Peterborough, ON. He competed well at the year-end Tour Championship (36th overall at one over par) and chose to look at the season as a four month lesson in ‘what it takes.’ “Everything about it is fine if you handle yourself the right way, but I found myself doing things that are outside my normal,” he explained. “I’d see a guy that I respect hitting hundreds of balls on the range and I found myself practising because I felt I was obligated to, not because I needed to. I stepped out of what got me to where I am.” That’s not to say Clapp didn’t feel a need to step up his training. But he felt he got away from quality in favour of quantity. “Putting more time and dedication into it is fine, but I want to make sure I’m spending that time on the right things,” he elaborated. “My putting was the

worst part of my game. I was beating drivers on the range when I couldn’t make a four footer.” Having hit the reset button, Clapp is ready for his sophomore season. He’s healthy, mentally and physically, ready to tackle this year’s opener, back at Point Grey May 28-31. Last year he sank a dramatic eight foot putt to win it. That tournament and that moment showed him he’s got what it takes to compete. It’s a matter of dialing it up week after week after week. “I hit the ball better, I feel, than anyone on the tour and there’s no way I lose any strokes off the tee,” Clapp said. “If I miss a green my chipping is fine. It’s just making putts when I need to, and that’s all I’ve focused on is getting my short-game ready. In the few tournaments I’ve played so far this year, my putting’s been a strength.” Clapp believes he can golf against the best of the best. The PC Financial Open is his first chance to prove it. “Nothing’s ever really concrete in golf because there are so many variables that change shot by shot and hole by hole,” Clapp said. “But a concrete expectation for me would be for me to put myself in contention every Sunday — to be on the back nine knowing it’s up to me to win or lose the tournament.” Follow Clapp and the tour online at pgatour. com/canada/en_us/ tournaments/schedule. html

Hard-hitting forward joins Chiefs full time After serving as an affiliate player with the Chilliwack Chiefs last season, 19 year old Ryan Roseboom will be a full-time forward in 2015-16. The Terrace native spent most of last season with the Osoyoos Coyotes of the junior B Kootenay International Hockey

League, where he had 16 goals and 44 points in 45 games. Roseboom had one goal and several bone-crushing hits in five Chiefs appearances, including two playoff games. “He will bring a physical element to our team as he demonstrated in the play-

offs,� said Chiefs head coach and general manager Jason Tatarnic. “He skates well and we expect him to be hard player for opponents to play against. He brings an honest work ethic to the rink every day.� Find Chiefs info online at chilliwackchiefs.net

In the early morning of Thursday April 23, 2015, Lydia Zingel (nee Dyck) passed away after a very short courageous fight with cancer. Witty and calm to the end, she was loved and supported by family and friends, spending her final days at Cascade Hospice. Lydia was born in Blumengart, Ukraine in 1930, survived the war and immigrated to Canada. She resumed her schooling and became an RN specializing in psychiatry, practicing across Canada and in the US. She married Richard Zingel in 1970, and they went north to the Arctic to work, and during these years and in their retirement they enjoyed travelling many times to over 80 countries. She excelled in the arts, including painting, pottery and crafting, with opera or classic music playing while she worked. They retired to Ryder Lake in 1988, enjoying the gardens and wildlife, moving to town when Richard’s health declined in 2012. Lydia is survived by her brother, Frank Dyck, immediate and extended family in Canada, the Ukraine and Germany and many friends throughout the world. Predeceased by her brother, Peter F. Dyck, in 1992, sister Margaret in 1986 and other family members during World War II. A special thanks to Dr. Hirst and Dr. Bull, and the staff at Cascade Hospice for their immeasurable comfort, support and dignity provided to Lydia and her family. A Memorial Service will be held for Lydia on Saturday May 9 at 10:30 AM, 2015 at Henderson’s Funeral Home, 45901 Victoria Ave., Chilliwack, BC. If friends so desire, please make a donation to the Cascade Hospice or Ruth & Naomi’s Mission. Henderson’s Funeral Home in care of arrangements, 604-792-1344 www.hendersonsfunerals .com
