Helping Nepal, one glass of lemonade at a time Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The dream of one Chilliwack family is that kids everywhere will be setting up lemonade stands to help earthquake victims in Nepal on Friday, May 22. People will hopefully come out in droves to donate on the day they have designated as International Lemonade Stand Day, says organizer Cathy Tibbles. Tibbles, a Chilliwack mom of three, said it all started as a discussion around the dinner table, about the desperate state of earthquake victims in Nepal. “At dinner, my 11-year-old offered $10 from her piggy bank. Not to be outdone, the eldest,

postponing her cell phone purchase, offered $15. “And Megan, my youngest, turned to me and asked for a lemonade stand.” They’d been talking about a letter they’d received from World Vision outlining the urgent need in Nepal. “Megan had been bugging me for a lemonade stand for more than a year.” That was it. She mulled over some charity ideas, and a way to maximize donations through matching them came to her. “To encourage them along, my boyfriend and I have provided sponsorship through our companies to match all donations up to $900.”

The Canadian government will also be matching all donations to registered charities until May 25, Tibbles said. “What this means is your little kiddos’ $10 in earnings will equal $40 in aid,” she wrote on the website. The whole project serves as a valuable teaching tool for them. “Children will learn that they too can make a difference,” said Tibbles. Kids like hers, who go to Central Elementary, are sometimes on the receiving end of charity. “But this makes it clear they can do stuff, too.” When she asked her daughter, without prompting, how much she wanted to offer from the

lemonade proceeds, the answer from nine-year-old Megan was: “All of it!” Tibbles then contacted Mayor Sharon Gaetz to see if May 22 could be declared International Lemonade Stand Day at Chilliwack City Hall. The reply from the mayor was: “City of Chilliwack Council appreciates and supports the effort made in this regard, and offers best wishes in achieving enormous success. “Please let Megan know how very proud I am of her compassion and ingenuity!” Register at https://www.facebook.com/IntlLemonade or call Tibbles at 604-703-8608. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

The $800,000 offer by Kinder Morgan to offset the inconvenience of pipeline construction in Chilliwack was turned down Tuesday afternoon by city council. But a spokesperson for the energy giant says the company remains hopeful a deal can be reached. All five members of council in attendance voted to defer signing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Kinder Morgan, after some spirited discussions. The money was to help pay for a $1 million pedestrian bridge project under the Community Benefit Program, but it is now deferred until after National Energy Board makes its decision about twinning the 60-year-old pipeline. Some critics called the cash “a bribe,” while others questioned the timing of the offer, before final routing is approved, and the idea that the Texas energy giant might leverage these approvals for its own gain. “Until a decision has been made, we won’t be entering into a memorandum of understanding,” said Coun. Jason Lum, who introduced the idea to defer the signing. Some councillors worried that deferring the MOU, which had a deadline of May 29, would mean forfeiting the money entirely. Staff said the decision might reduce the amount of the grant, but it was not known by what amount. Mayor Sharon Gaetz said the word “bribe” went too far, and Coun. Sue Attrill agreed it certainly was not a bribe. “Someone used the word bribe,” said Mayor Gaetz. “I think it’s offensive. Council does not accept bribes and never has.”

District moves forward with cost-cutting school budget Jessica Peters

2015-2016 school year. It’s hard to compare the upcoming budget to previous years, Slykhuis noted. This year’s actual budget includes savings that accumulated from three weeks of strikes, while the upcoming year will include a full year of the new collective agreement for teachers. “That makes it a really weird

The Progress The upcoming school year’s budget was given its first reading Tuesday night, with a brief overview from secretary treasurer Gerry Slykhuis. In total, the school district will be managing $131,716,101 for the

comparison year,” Slykhuis said. It’s also been a “very tough budget” to create, he added. While the budget is balanced, it includes $2.7 million in cost cutting required due to cost increases and a tightening of the belt at a provincial level. But there is good news in the budget, with a $151,000 boost in Learning Improvement Funds.

The purpose of the LIF is to support complex classes that present challenging learning conditions, Slykhuis explained. The funds are used 80/20 on teachers/EAs. The budget is available to the public online on the school district’s website. It breaks down the total cost of all salaries and benefits ($103,856,173), operating expens-

Townsend park bear relocated Jessica Peters The Progress A young bear that was spotted up a tree in Townsend Park has been relocated deeper into the forest. The bear was found in the west end of the park, near the ball diamonds, late Wednesday afternoon. A conservation officer, the RCMP and the fire department responded to the call. The bear was shot with a tranquilizer and remained in the tree. Fire Chief Ian Josephson said the department used their equipment to get up high enough to help the bear down. “The firefighters raised a ladder and managed to get a rope around the bear,” he said. It is unusual for the fire department to help out with conservation calls. “We don’t get that very often,” Josephson said. “We’ll go as part of the team, because we have the ropes and ladders, and that’s how we helped out in this case.” He said he has heard the bear was relocated up to the Chilliwack Lake area. “They believe it was probably in the dump and maybe got displaced from its mother,” he added. The conservation officer had not returned a call to confirm the bear’s relocation by press time.

Council sends Higginson development back The Progress Neighbours living around the proposed mixed development on Higginson came to city hall en masse Tuesday night. Several urged council to vote against rezoning the mixed housing development featuring 174 new homes due to height,

traffic safety and reduced sunlight issues. After hours passed at the meeting, council sided with residents, and voted to refer it back to staff for some retooling. The proponent was applying to create a CD-26 zone, a comprehensive development to build 104 single family homes, with secondary suites, and 70

Chilliwack RCMP has issued a warning to the public following two suspected incidents of child luring over the past three weeks. Both incidents occurred in the northeast area of town, police say. The first incident happened on April 30, around 6 p.m. An 11-year-old girl was playing outside when she was approached by an older male driving a red van, who offered her candy. “Fortunately the young girl did the right thing, and immediately ran away to a nearby friend’s home,” said spokesperson Cpl. Mike Rail. RCMP worked with the Chilliwack School District, and a school fan-out advisory was issued May 5 to warn parents of the incident. Then on May 17, at around 3:30 p.m., a 12-year-old girl was approached by an older man, driving a white mini-van, who offered her a ride. The girl did not respond and ran away. “Again, we’re very pleased to report this girl made a good decision, and immediately left without talking to him further,” said Cpl. Rail. “Obviously we are very concerned about these events, but we are still investigating to determine if the two incidents are connected. “We advise parents to review street proofing safety tips with their children, such as not to accept rides or gifts from strangers without checking with their parents first.” Suspect description from April 30: Older male with a long white beard, blue eyes, wearing black sweat pants, long black sleeved shirt and black toque, driving an older red van. (See sketch above.) The suspect from the May 17 incident is described as male, approximately 50 years old, wearing a long sleeve black shirt, long skinny dark brown beard, dark reddish brown cowboy hat, medium build, driving an older white mini-van. There is no composite sketch from the most recent incident available. Chilliwack RCMP Serious Crime Unit is actively investigating both incidents. Anyone with any information is urged to contact the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or if you wish to remain anonymous, contact CRIMESTOPPERS at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

undue influence.” Chilliwack is a registered commenter in the National Energy Board (NEB) hearings on Kinder Morgan’s TransMountain pipeline expansion proposal, but has not yet submitted comments to the NEB. Chilliwack resident Wayne Froese was also concerned about perceptions, and saw the decision as a positive one. “I’m glad council has decided that the timing of this project from Kinder Morgan should not be in advance of the city’s participation in the

NEB review. If it had, it would look like a bribe no matter how it was framed. Putting a noobligation clause in the deal, does not change this. I was delighted to hear Councilor Lum base his motion largely on that issue.” However, the Community Benefit Program goes “above and beyond” the other benefits communities along the route will accrue, said Ali Hounsell, Kinder Morgan spokesperson with Trans Mountain expansion project. That said they are still

“hopeful and optimistic” they can get an agreement with Chilliwack, despite the deferral. “Regardless of whether or not we sign this MOU, there still will be compensation to land owners in the form of taxes and other benefits, if the pipeline goes ahead.” So the actual deadline set for this MOU may not be a deal-breaker. “In terms of Chilliwack specifically, this offer does have a timeline,” Hounsell said. “However, understanding that City of Chilliwack has

deferred, we are committed to continuing those discussions with them, and are optimistic we can resolve their issues or answer their concerns, and hopefully get to an agreement with them in short order.” Communities from Alberta down to the Lower Mainland along the existing pipeline route have chosen their own community projects. “It’s really driven at the community level,” she said. Kinder Morgan is still working on signing agreements with

local governments in the Lower Mainland, in areas “which we knew would be most tricky,” said Hounsell. Most of the communities east of Hope have already signed. “We’ve had productive discussions with the communities and are hoping to get as many as possible to sign,” she added. So far they’ve inked 13 MOUs covering 17 communities, with a total of about $5.5 million in projects, over 87% of the pipeline route. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Federal scientists must be free to speak

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

Federal public scientists want the protection of their right to speak freely enshrined in their collective agreements. First of all, before we get into anything, let’s take a moment to remember that freedom of speech is their right as citizens of a democracy and specifically their rights as Canadians. But aside from that, there is a great public interest in government-paid and/or funded scientists being able to exercise their right to freedom of speech. In fact, beyond being a right, it should be part of their job description. There is some room for confidentiality in the process of disseminating information by scientists who are specifically hired to find out the truth of things. You can’t have them just blasting their mouths off. The same standards of accuracy, honesty and corroboration should apply to their opinions as they do to their research and the publicizing of that research. But as the ultimate employer of these scientists, the taxpayers own their research and therefore have a right to know everything about it. They answer to the citizens of this country not to the politicians. Truth in science is more important today than ever. We here on the West Coast know that as well as anybody as we weigh conflicting claims regarding crucial fish science and the environment. We need to be able to depend on our taxpayer-funded scientists to tell us what the facts are. The Stephen Harper Conservatives have done a disservice to the citizens of this country by muzzling scientists and hacking scientific research to bits. The information researchers uncover belong to us and our public scientists need to feel safe enough to express their informed opinions. What’s more, publicly-funded science should be neutral and unbiased. No corporate interference is acceptable. This is not science for sale. It’s science for the public good. ~ Black Press

Clouds hang over the Omar Khadr’s case The Supreme Court of Canada came to an unprecedented swift decision last week in Omar Khadr’s favour, kicking out the federal government’s bid to have Khadr declared an adult offender. This was the third time the Khadr case had come up before the high court – and the third time the feds have lost. The case focused on the eightyear war-crimes sentence Khadr received from the U.S. military commission in 2010. The question became: should it be considered a youth or an adult sentence? If adult, then the feds wanted Khadr to actually receive five concurrent eight-year terms (one for each alleged crime) for a total of 40 years. Really, who gives out sentences to a child soldier? In 2010, the United Nations Special Representative on Children and Armed Conflict

expressed concern that the military trial would set a dangerous precedent for child soldiers worldwide. Her position was blunt. Children should not be tried before militar y tribunals, a position echoed for years by NGOs, academics and other international experts including Margaret the International EVANS Committee of the Red Cross. Omar Khadr was born in 1986 in Toronto to Ahmed Khadr and Maha el-Samnah, Egyptian and Palestinian immigrants who became naturalized Canadian citizens. But the family travelled frequently between Pakistan, Afghanistan and Canada as Ahmed worked with NGOs and orphanages set up to help chil-

dren whose parents had been killed in the Soviet invasion. His life path led fatefully to an association with Mujahideen leaders, Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda with whom he was accused of being a senior associate. In the aftermath of 9/11 and the foreshadowing of war in Afghanistan, Ahmed unwisely allowed 15-year-old Omar to stay in a “group home” for young Arab men associated with a senior alQaeda leader. That link led directly to the infamous firefight in the village of Ayub Kheyl in which Omar, serious wounded, allegedly killed an American soldier by tossing a hand grenade. His capture, detention at Bagram, and removal to Guantanamo Bay led to the high profile story of a child soldier being held and tortured to force a confession prior to trial by a U.S. military tribunal. He was one of

the youngest prisoners and the last Western citizen to be held at the notorious prison. He was the first person since World War II to be prosecuted for war crimes while still a minor. His detention as an adult prisoner even though he was in reality a minor has been endlessly denounced by civil rights groups, Amnesty International, as well as condemned by the United Nations. Khadr’s plight has become a lightning rod in the harsh and stubborn stance of the Harper government which has branded him as a die-hard terrorist and that his five crimes (killing a U.S. soldier, attempted murder, conspiracy, provision of material to support terrorism, and spying) each represent a concurrent eight-year term. Khadr’s lawyers argued quickly and successfully otherwise. “The sentence is under the

minimum for an adult sentence,” Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin told the court bluntly after a rare 30-minute deliberation. All nine justices were unanimous in the decision and McLachlin ordered the federal government’s appeal be dismissed with costs. Khadr, now out on bail, was a child product of a violent time. Had his father lived (he died along with al-Qaeda and Taliban members in a shootout near the Afghanistan border in 2003) he would have had a lot to answer for, starting with his decision to leave an impressionable child under the direct influence and manipulation of a terrorist organization. Khadr spoke publicly for the first time last week. He plans to prove he’s not who Harper thinks he is. I hope for everyone’s sake he follows through.

Kinder Morgan offer undermines NEB process Chilliwack can be proud of its Mayor and Council today for taking a principled stance that was not without some hard considerations and risk. Kinder Morgan tried to impose a deadline of May 29 on a ‘Community Benefit’ Memorandum of Understanding worth $800,000 to the city if Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain expansion project gets the go-ahead from the National Energy Board. The city had identified a pedestrian bridge over the Vedder River as the project that the money would go to. The offer came to council via an Operations Department report in today’s meeting, the only council meeting before Kinder Morgan’s deadline. The Mayor and Councillors had a clear desire to gain as much benefit for the community as possible should the pipeline proceed, a National Energy Board (NEB) decision that is not in council’s purview. However,

Councillor Lum particularly raised the issue of the timing of the offer, given that the city is engaged as a commenter in the NEB process and has not yet made its official submission in that process. Lum likened it to a local developer approaching council with an offer of some benefit if their development application were approved, something that of course would not be entertained. While it is not quite the same situation, the parallel was clear and in the end Councillor Lum’s motion to defer entering into an MOU with Kinder Morgan until the NEB process has concluded passed. That Kinder Morgan has a moral obligation to compensate for impacts in the event construction proceeds is obvious. It will be a test of the company’s character to see how they handle that in communities where early MOUs are not signed. WaterWealth is an intervenor in the NEB process for the Trans

Mountain expansion, a pipeline that crosses many vital waterways and lies over and even in local aquifers, passing within collection zones of city drinking water wells. That the regulator allows the proponent to offer payments to people or organizations with standing in the process before those participants have completed their submissions to the review panel is bad enough. That those offers come with deadlines that precede the deadline for participants submissions to the hearing process compounds the issue. We believe that this issue calls into question the integrity of the hearing process itself and will be writing the NEB to raise this issue. We will weigh our continued participation in the process once we receive a response from the NEB. Ian Stephen The WaterWealth Project

Taking a look at voting age The letter from Jason McNulty on “Time to lower the voting age” (Friday, May 15) led me to consider seriously his proposal to reduce the voting age to 16 years of age. Two compelling arguments he made were as follows: • 16 year olds can work and pay taxes, so they should be able to vote • 16 year olds are still in high school, so they can be supported to vote thoughtfully using values clarification and other decisionmaking strategies via a more effective high school civics curriculum As the federal NDP candidate for Chilliwack-Hope and as

a longstanding professor and educator, I am deeply concerned by the low voter turnout among youth. In B.C. in the 2011 election, 41 per cent of 18-34 yearolds voted as compared to 65 per cent of 45-74 year-olds. Yet, when we examine the issues, we find many impact youth more than older voters: e.g., minimum wage, affordable childcare, higher education, student debt, small business development, affordable housing and the environment. As I consider your suggestion to lower the voting age to 16 yearsof-age in B.C., the following are some concern I have with the proposal:

• 16 year olds may face undue pressure or suasion tactics by teachers and parents to vote in a particular way and/or have less ability to resist those tactics than older voters. • Giving 16 year olds the vote may further reduce the already low first time voter rates in B.C., which were 35 per cent for males in 2011. Once the non-voting pattern is set, many people seem to begin to identify themselves as non-voters – something I have noted going door-to-door. Still, I trust teachers, good curriculum, and youth enough to believe that it may be a viable option.

I would encourage you to consider organizing an all-candidates debate on this topic to bring together both 16-17 year olds and 18-21 year olds with the candidates. You should find those in youth in the eligible voters category to champion your cause at the polls if it is viable. Hopefully the incumbent will agree to attend this time. Thanks for taking the time to express your concerns and interest. If we can’t find the will and means to promote voting among youth, then our democracy will erode and weaken over time.

News Pikeminnow Derby cancelled this year

Notice Of

Annual Meeting

about 10 volunteers working throughout the year and another 20 on the day of the event. So they had to pass on the torch. The sockeye numbers have been steadily declining, and the pikeminnow has also been going down notably. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The estimate is now down to around 35,000 pikeminnow in Cultus, from a peak of 70,000. said Dave Clyne, a member of CLASS. The science seems to back it up, and suggest all the efforts are making a difference. The pikeminnow derby does help in part to manage the pikeminnow population, along with winter long line fishing, which can helpful since the pikeminnow are known to feed on young Cultus lake sockeye and trout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really is a terrific family and community event. Wonderful to see kids out there with their parents.â&#x20AC;? The volunteer run group will continue the search for another community group to get on board, in time to plan next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s derby. CLASS has contacts and other information to share with any groups thinking about taking over the event organizing. CLASS is meeting on May 27, at 7 p.m. at Cultus Lake Community School in the library, open to all residents.

Councillors call for changes to Higginson development proposal COUNCIL from page 3 that would be lower in some areas creating “view corridors” but some residents still requested single-storey ranchers, over two-storey townhomes. For Ryan Byers

Eckersly it was about the height of the proposed 10-metre high buildings, and the proximity, which would be “too high and too close” to their building. “Half my sunlight would be obliterated,” he

said, adding as someone who works as an engineer in a windowless room, he’s keenly aware of the value of natural light. Lowell Ritchie emphasized safety issues like traffic.

“We haven’t had a bad accident there but it’s coming. Safety is the issue.” City engineer David Blain said South Sumas was due for a road upgrade in 2017. When asked why they

couldn’t build singlestory ranchers, Walter Bianchini, who was representing the developer, said at that point he didn’t think there was any way they could do that. “Unfortunately, sometimes it does revolve

It happened AGAIN! Good thing we know O’Connor Collision so well…

around the finances of the project,” said Bianchini. One area resident said the whole area used to single family homes, and while she understood the need for densification, she also said: “Holy smokes we need to be careful what we do.” Developer Jake Klassen offered “softer” rooflines to deal with the light issue, and the project is already a scaled down version of best use, in terms of densities. “We will allow as much light in as we can.” Some weren’t convinced. “We’re going to be staring at a 20 foot building. There will be no light,” said one speaker. “It will deplete the value our place while raising the value of this property.” Mayor Sharon Gaetz

www. CHILLIWACK chilliwackford .com 30309

said she wouldn’t feel right going ahead. “The fact that the majority of the neighbours came out en masse, tells us a lot.” She noted that they couldn’t always make everyone happy, but they could “try hard,” and moved to refer it back to staff. With a motion to refer passed, the developer can come back as soon as something new can be looked at. If it had been defeated, they would have to wait six months before trying again. Coun. Sam Waddington lauded those who showed up, for “one of the most articulate and well-rounded” presentations at the hearing. “That is what you are hearing echoed by council. We heard your concerns and very reasonable requests.” He also praised the developer, who’d been open to listening to community concerns. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Brexton Metzler, 8, gives Judith Dornan a fist bump while taking part in a riding lesson at Pacific Riding For Developing Abilities. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Four-legged friends nurture special bond Jessica Peters The Progress Eight-year-old Brexton Metzler loves his weekly riding lessons. He climbs up on top of a horse with a little bit of help from a volunteer, and takes hold of the reins. As the horse walks around the ring, patiently and gently, Brexton smiles ear to ear. With the reins in his hands, and a half-hour of fun ahead of him, the young boy gets a fresh new look at the world. This is where all his anxiety slips away. Brexton, who has autism, is just one of many children who

spend time at the Pacific Riding for Developing Abilities. The therapeutic horseback riding program has been running for 33 years, helping people with physical, cognitive and emotional disabilities. “He loves it,” says his mom, Ruth Metzler. “First and foremost it’s an activity he can do on his own, as team sports are not suitable. It’s awesome to have something for him where they understand his needs.” He’s been riding once a week for two years, and it’s given him better core balance and posture, she says. “It’s also very calming and soothing for him,” she says. “It’s always something he’s happy

and excited to do.” The riding program is indeed a popular one; the wait list for new riders is about one year long. Once families see the many benefits of therapeutic riding, they’re usually hooked. As much as Brexton loves his riding lessons, getting places is not just a matter of effortlessly jumping in the car. Transitions can be difficult for him, and for a busy family, the transitions are endless. On a typical trip to the store, Brexton has to negotiate his way from the house to the car, into the car, out of the car, through the parking lot, through double doors, out of the doorway, all around the store, through the till, to the doors

and on again until they’re back home. But it’s getting easier, thanks to yet another four-legged friend. Langley, an Autism Assistance Dog Guide, joined the Metzler family just over two years ago. Langley and Brexton became fast friends, and in December last year, Langley even started going to school with Brexton. “He’s overwhelmed a lot less,” Ruth says. “He’s able to get himself better a lot sooner.” Langley goes almost everywhere with Brexton, making those transitions more comfortable. Langley even comes to riding lessons, where he takes a break from his work duty and

relaxes on the floor in the waiting area while Brexton enjoys his therapeutic lessons. And here, Langley is not alone. Another Autism Assistance Guide Dog, named Windsor, lies on the floor when Langley walks in. They’ve met before, many times, but neither dog really reacts to the other one. They lay almost side by side, ignoring each other and keeping an eye on their moms. Windsor is a working dog for Cooper Gerrits, who also has autism along with severe anxiety, and rides at PRDA on Chilliwack Central Road.

The dogs will work with their chosen families for eight to 10 years, at which point theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll retire into old age and remain as loving and faithful companions. They are trained through the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides program, which works with children ages three to 18. They are meant to provide safety, companionship and unconditional love, as well as a calming relief in high anxiety situations, such as the classroom or travel-

ing. Families travel to Ontario to meet their dogs, and spend time there meeting other families and being trained to work with the dogs. Both the Gerrits and Metzler families say life has changed for the better since connecting

their children with their new equine and canine friends. The boys have built new relationships, become more confident, and have been able to enjoy a bit of independence with the help of these programs â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Â whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s atop a horse, or curled up for a story with a dog to

cuddle. But neither program would be financially possible for many families without donations, and both happen to have fundraising events coming up in the next few weeks. The Purina Dog Walk raises funds for the Lions Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program, and takes place on May 31. For more information, call Val Martindale at 604392-3781.

Home&Garden

From humble beginnings, tomatoes take on the world Today, the humble tomato is one of the most popular vegetables grown in home gardens. Its present popularity is quite a success story

because, according to the National Garden Bureau in the United States, the tomato suffered from bad PR for about 300 years. Tomatoes originated

in South America in the Andean mountains that overlap into the countries of Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia and Chile. Local natives may have eaten tomatoes,

but no archaeological evidence indicates that they were cultivated in any way. It seems, however, that animals enjoyed these native tomatoes because his-

Dealer# 31163

torians speculate that they helped spread the seed some 2,000 miles northward to Central America. It was the pre-Mayan Indians, the Aztecs,

who first ate, cultivated and named the tomato (actually a wild cherry tomato). They called it ‘tomatl’ or ‘xtomatl’. The proper botanical name for the tomato is

‘Lycopersicon esculentum’ which translates literally as ‘edible wolf peach’. In 1520, it is recorded that the Spanish explorer and conquistador, Cortez, saw some tomatoes in an early rudimentary market Brian and MINTER brought the seeds home to Spain. From Spain, they ended up in Naples, which was under Spanish rule at the time. This is where the tomato apparently got its bad rap. Early herbologists thought the plant was related to the solanacaea family and was, therefore, as dangerous as deadly nightshade. A caption from an early description of the tomato states that “this new plant is more pleasant to the sight than either to the taste or smell, because the fruit being eaten provoketh loathing and vomiting”. The tomato crossed back over the ocean, carried by early colonists. The poor tomato, however, just could not gain an improved reputation. Puritans felt that tomatoes were too sensuous looking, and therefore must be evil. It wasn’t until 1820 that the much maligned tomato actually got a break. World traveller, Colonel Robert Gibbon Johnson, collected tomato seeds from around the world and encouraged American farmers to grow them. To dispel the rumours about tomatoes being poisonous, Col. Johnson announced in 1820 that he would eat a whole basketful of tomatoes on the courthouse steps in Salem. Johnson’s personal physician claimed he would, “foam and froth at the mouth ... double over with appendicitis ... and expose himself to brain fever”. Well, Col. Johnson survived, to the amazement of all bystanders, and the tomato had a new beginning. Apparently, by 1835 they had become a part of the American diet. Tomatoes were used primarily in preserves, pickles and in ketchup. Cookbooks still warned that they should be cooked for at least three hours in order to lose their raw taste. Continued: MINTER/ p23

Home&Garden Tomato growing season has arrived MINTER from page 22 Well, things have changed. We now have hundreds of varieties of all types available, some with wonderful sweet flavouring. Today, a vine-ripened tomato is a real treat indeed, and you will be happy to know it is low in calories, too – just 22 for a medium sized tomato. Only lettuce, celery and radishes have fewer calories than tomatoes. Tomatoes are also a rich source of potassium and vitamin A. The vitamin C content of tomatoes is low when compared to citrus fruits, but when eaten

raw, ripe and fresh, tomatoes are high in many vitamins and minerals. It is also one of the few vegetables with high concentrations of lycopene With the May long weekend over, it is now the beginning of the tomato planting season. There are so many new, standard and heritage varieties, it’s hard to choose. We all have our favourites, but I try to select varieties with great flavour, disease resistance and early to mid-season maturity. Verticillium wilt, fusarium wilt and tobacco mosaic virus are the three most common disease problems.

It’s important to look for varieties that have ‘V.F.’ or ‘T.M.V.’ behind their name. These letters indicate resistance to these diseases. Many folks are confused by the terms ‘derminate’(D) and ‘indeterminate’(I) when applied to tomatoes. ‘Determinate’ basically means that the blooms and fruit develop on the plant within a relatively short time of one to two weeks, there’s a comparatively short harvest period and then the plants simply stop producing. Don’t let this deter you because

AGASSIZ COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTRE

you’ll get lots of fruit on shorter, more compact plants. ‘Indeterminate’ varieties produce blooms and fruit over a far longer period of time. If you have a greenhouse with heat, you can keep them going for months. In next week’s article, I will write about the various tomato varieties and each ones unique features.

Provincials for Willing Chilliwack secondary school’s Tasha Willing had two podium finishes in the senior division at last week’s Fraser Valley Track and Field Championships, qualifying for provincials in three events. Top eight placement at Valleys secured berths for provincials, which run June 4-6 at McLeod Athletic Park in Langley. Willing turned in a 11.98 metre throw in the four kilogram shotput to earn first place. She was second in the one kilogram discus at 35.08m and fourth in the four kilogram hammer throw at 44.47m. Sardis secondary school’s Afton Servatius met her mark in three events,

with a seventh place finish in the 100m hurdles and eighth place finishes in the 100 and 200m dashes. Sardis teammate Caitlin LeBlanc was third in the 800m and fourth in the 1500m. A third Sardis star, Kelly Corley-Smith, qualified with a seventh place finish in the 1500m steeple-chase. Unity Christian’s Katie Procee was seventh in the 400m hurdles. On the senior boys’ side, Unity Christian’s Riley Kuperis qualified in three events. His best showing came in the long jump, where a leap of 6.27m earned him second place. Kuperis was fifth in high jump, soaring 1.80m, and sixth in the 100m dash.

CSS runner Curtis Hrusik placed seventh in the 800m with a time of 2:16.19. SSS had three qualifiers in the 400m hurdles, with Kristian Biela (third place), Keegan Schrom-Smith (seventh) and Santana McKay (eighth) making the grade. Biela and SchromSmith also qualified in the 2000m steeplechase, with Logan Clegg finding his way into that mix. McKay also qualified with an eighth place finish in the 110m hurdles. CSS student Matthias Alleckna flew 12.15m through the air to place third in the triple jump. Find full results online at fraservalleytrack.net.

Chilliwack Spartan swimmer takes his talents to the CIS level this fall, joining the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Sokolowski stands out

Spartan swimmer joins T-Birds

GW Graham’s Kate Sokolowski posted provincial qualifiers in three events at last week’s Fraser Valley Track and Field Championships. Competing in the junior girls division, Sokolowski earned a second place finish in the 800 metre run (2:20.83), a third place finish in the 1500m run (4:57.92) and a fifth place finish in the 3000m run (11:09.04). Chilliwack secondary school’s Morgan Miller threw the one kilogram discus 32.77 metres to earn first place. Mt. Slesse middle school’s Vanessa Dueck made her mark in the long jump, soaring 4.69m to finish fifth.

The UBC Thunderbirds swim program has signed an outstanding recruiting class that includes a Chilliwack native. The T-Birds, defending CIS champions in

both the mens’ and womens’ divisions, have added Chilliwack Spar tan swimmer Carson Olafson. He’ll join the team this fall along with Colby Evans (West Vancouver), Hau-Li Fan (Burnaby), Darian Fry (Surrey) and Ryder McGinnis (Edmonton). “He is highly motivated, respectful, eager and coachable, and Carson has been a model athlete for our program,” said Olafson’s Spartan coach, Justin Daly.

“Carson has been a role model for several of our young and old swimmers and is always willing to give back to the team whether it be through volunteer time or speaking to our younger athletes.” In the pool, Olafson has won dozens of races and competed at the highest levels of youth swimming. Thunderbirds coach Steve Price sees Olafson and the other recruits pushing UBC’s veteran swimmers.

“All these young guns bring talent to our team and will push the veterans for spots on the relays as well as the championship roster,” he noted. “My goal was not only to develop a winning men’s team but one that could run for the championships for years to come. With a few of our guys considering red-shirting next season in preparation for the Olympic Trials in April 2016, the deeper this team is the better.”

BCHL Showcase returns to Chilliwack

The British Columbia Hockey League announced Thursday that the Chilliwack Chiefs and Prospera Centre will be the host team and venue for the fourth annual Bauer BCHL Showcase. This year’s event

runs one day longer than the previous three, from Sept. 24-27. An extra day has been added to allow all games to be played on the main ice surface. “Chilliwack has been a gracious host and has provided a beautiful venue in Prospera Centre for the Bauer BCHL Showcase since its inception in 2012,” said BCHL commissioner John Grisdale. “Our teams and players get optimum exposure to scouts from the col-

lege and professional ranks and the opportunities gained as a result speak for themselves.” Since the first Showcase was held, the BCHL has had 12 players selected in the National Hockey League entry draft, with another five projected to be drafted this June. Over the last three seasons, the league has also averaged 132 players with college commitments, 114 of those to the NCAA Division I level.

“The Chilliwack Chiefs and Prospera Centre are proud to again welcome the university and professional hockey scouts of North America as well as junior hockey fans from across the BCHL,” said Chiefs president Glen Ringdal. All the matchups for the 2015 Bauer BCHL Showcase will be released after the conclusion of the league’s annual general meeting, which takes place June 4 to 6.

On the boys’ side, Vedder middle school’s Daniel James blazed through the 800m distance in 1:59.75 to claim first place and did the same in the 1500m run with a time of 4:19.23. Chilliwack secondary school’s Jesse Reimer and Chilliwack middle school’s Lucas Small ran 3-4 in the 100m dash with times of 11.96 and 12.18 seconds. They also qualified in the 200m dash, with Small placing third (24.14s) and Reimer placing eighth (24.84s). Rowan Hamilton, from CMS, placed fourth in the five kilogram shot-put, heaving the ball 11.55m. Hamilton returned

for the five kg hammer throw, finishing second at 41.91m. In the same event, Sardis secondar y school’s Lee Schoolkate placed sixth at 25.67m. The 1.5kg discus saw CSS student Noah Bailey finish second (33.62m) with Unity Christian’s Josh Luteyn fifth (29.61m). Mt. Slesse middle school’s Owen Wright placed eighth in the 1500m steeplechase, crossing the line in 4:54.78.

Chilliwack’s Brad Clapp finished one shot off the lead at last week’s Chilliwack Classic. Playing the Vancouver Golf Tour event on his home course at the Chilliwack Golf Club, Clapp fired back-to-back 67s for a 10-under-par 134. Clapp birdied 13 holes over two rounds, but couldn’t overtake two rivals. Langley native Darren Wallace and Point Grey Golf Club golfer Ryan Williams topped the field with

matching 11-under-par 135’s. Wallace took the tourney title, beating Williams on the first playoff hole. Wallace took home $2,500 while Williams pocketed $1,500. Clapp remains the overall leader on the VGT Order of Merit list with 7150 points. Forty five players tackled the tournament. Chilliwack’s Chad McAdie was in the mix with a six-under-par 138 that included five birdies in Friday’s second round.

Chilliwack natives and University of the Fraser Valley golf stars Aaron Pauls and Connor McLellan finished 1-2 on the amateur side. Steady as always, Pauls’ big shot came on the ninth hole when he carded an eagle. That accounted for his one stroke edge on McLellan. Mathew Lamb tied for fifth with a sevenover-par 151. Kaleb Fisher was 12th with a 13-over-par 157. Find info at vancouvergolftour.com

Vedder athletes shine at Grade 8 Valleys Several locals look like good bets to compete in the Grade 8 division at the BC Track and Field Provincials after showing well at last week’s Fraser Valley Championships. Unlike the senior and junior levels, where a top eight finish in the Fraser Valley zone guarantees a provincial spot, Grade 8 athletes have a slightly different standard. The 24 best performances in BC, regardless of zone, get provincial spots. Because the Fraser Valley is a strong zone, most times/marks within the top eight should be enough to warrant an invite. Vedder middle school’s Diego Eraso was one of the

local standouts, finishing first in the 400m dash (57.06s) while adding fifth place showings in the 100m and 200m races. Zain Rehmtulla placed first in the 3000m distance (10:12.88), second in the 1500m (4:50.61) and third in the 800m (2:17.20). Unity Christian’s Will Craig produced a first place finish in the four kilogram shot-put with a mark of 11.75m. He was second in discus (33.30m), with Highroad Academy’s Micah Causton also sliding into the top eight with a mark of 26.23m. Highroad’s David Brodie placed seventh in the long

jump, leaping 4.81m. UC athletes had strong showings on the girls’ side. Kirsten Kampman finished second in the 400m dash with a time of 1:04.82. Melissa Dieleman placed fourth in the 200m dash (28.48 seconds) and Grace VandenBrink finished fourth in the 800m run (2:30.63). VandenBrink also made her mark in the three-kilogram shot-put, placing third with a mark of 8.50m. Vedder middle school’s Kara Wismer ran to a sixth place finish in the 1500m race. (5:18.52). Rosedale middle school’s Janika Kroeze made her bid

for a provincial spot with a sixth place finish in the long jump (4.47m). Chilliwack middle school’s Jasmine Soltys looked good in two events, placing sixth in discus (19.66m) and third in the 500 gram javelin (25.01m). Local boys with a longer shot at provincials include Highroad’s Jonathan Krahn (ninth in the 1500m, 10th in triple jump), Vedder’s Geevon Janday (10th in long jump) and Rosedale’s Ashley Burke (10th in 600g javelin). Local girls with a longer shot at provincials include UC’s Amy Ferguson (ninth in discus) and Vedder’s Stephanie Ta (ninth in triple jump).

SWAILE Susan (Suzy) Joan

FLAGGERS NEEDED. No Certification? Get Certified, 604-575-3944

(formerly known as Mosdell, nee Potts)

Suzy passed away peacefully on May 13, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Suzy was born in Langley, BC on April 12, 1952 and lived her whole life in the lower mainland. Tragically predeceased by son Jarrid in 2004, Suzy is survived and will be forever missed by daughter Brittany (Terry), husband Kevin, stepson Lee (Chelsea), grandchildren Benjamin, Lukas and Tucker, mother Joan, sister Connie, brother Gordie (Kim) and many other friends and family too numerous to mention. Suzy was a long time employee of London Drugs and was eternally grateful for the network of friends she had through her work family. She was an avid hiker, loved to dragonboat (and that network of friends), working in her garden and yard at Birch Bay, loved animals and was a regular supporter of the SPCA. Suzy had a smile that could light up a room and embraced life every day, no matter what challenges she faced. Suzy firmly believed her family and friends came first and she was the first one to provide comfort in times of need and to help celebrate their successes. Suzy’s passing leaves a hole that can never be filled but memories of her kindness, her joy of life and love and commitment to friends and family will never be forgotten. In lieu of flowers donations to the Mission Hospice would be gratefully appreciated. A Celebration of Suzy’s life will be held on Saturday, June 27, 2015, in Abbotsford, time and location still to be determined.

KEN L. FETTERLY It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Ken Fetterly born Sept. 11, 1922 to Pioneer Family, Corliss and Marjorie(nee Chadsey) Fetterly passed away May 9, 2015 at 92 years young. Ken lived all his life on De-Prest Road. He married Arlene Grigg 1945, worked at the FVMPA powder room in Sardis for 22 years eventually building a farm on Prest Road where he farmed to retirement. He loved the outdoors. In his younger days he spent many happy hours hunting pheasant, grouse, and ducks on the floor of the Fraser Valley with his double barrel shot gun and amazing little spaniel “Freckles”. In later years he loved working in his shop building many projects. Some of which were wooding working lathing bowls, building a wood splitter (which he split mountains of wood with to heat his home), and a sawmill all from scratch. Even in his last few days what he really missed was getting out to his shop to play with his toys. He loved life. He and Mom loved spending many hours traveling in their truck and Mountaineer camper to all parts of this beautiful province and beyond, driving the Alaska Highway. After Mom passed on he drove the 17 Mile Hill down into Bella Coola to visit grandson Wes where they went out on Wes’ trawler fishing lobster and He drove out 4 years ago to Granddaughter Amy’s wedding in Canmore, Alta. Every year they spent a family fishing trip in the Chilcotin. They also had the benefit of many trips farther afield thanks to passes they received world wide from their son Monty. They saw polar bears in Churchill Manitoba, Crocodiles with a Granddaughter Kate in outback Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, Hawaii (many times), UK, Ireland, and Belgium where they visited the battlefields where his Father Corliss, fought in trenches in WW1. His favorite place was Iceland where He and Mom soaked in natural hot pools and drove around in a Suzuki Swift “Tomato can he called it“. It was red. Ken loved children, teased them and fed them Haagen Dazs. Ken is survived by daughter Wendy and son Monty(Karen), 9 Grandchildren, Paula, Wesley (Jenn), Katharine(Nicole), Edward(Teri-Lynn), Amelia(Tyler), Adele(Chris), Megan(Chris), Haydan(Amanda), Dinel(Greg) and 7 Great grand children and Sister Gwen, Sister and Brother-In Law Bernice and Morley. He goes on to the next part of his journey joining his beloved wife Arlene(1998) his precious daughter Verna(1984 ) Sister Ellen(2009) and parents.
