Mitch Gehman of Pedalsport inflates a bike tire during the Bike to Work Week celebration on Wednesday morning at Safeway in Chilliwack. About 35 cyclists took part in the morning event where they rode from Sardis secondary to Safeway making several stops along the way. In the Fraser Valley there are 788 riders registered, 267 of which are Chilliwack residents. The annual event is put on by Bike to Work B.C. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Riders hit the road for Bike to Work Week Thirty-five residents and Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz pedalled through Chilliwack Wednesday morning as Bike to Work Week continued in the Fraser Valley. “Cycling is a great way to stay healthy,” said Gaetz, who led Wednesday’s ride. “It gets cars off the road and softens our environmental footprint by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.” Orlando Schmidt, president of Bike to Work B.C. Society, cycled from Abbotsford to Chilliwack at 5:30 a.m. to join the ride. So far this year, Bike to Work
Week has hit record-breaking participation stats, and the numbers continue to climb daily. In the Fraser Valley, there are already 788 riders registered, 267 of which are Chilliwack residents. Also record-breaking, more than 27,600 riders have registered province-wide. Bike to Work Fraser Valley has challenged Bike to Work Nanaimo to a competition to see which organization can get the most riders registered, the most kilometres logged, and save the most kilograms of greenhouse gas emissions. “Nanaimo has a much higher percent participation per capita
than Fraser Valley, but Nanaimo has always had participation rates just slightly above Fraser Valley’s and a friendly competition with them is a fun way for both of our regions to strive towards getting more and more people on their bikes,” said Terri-Lynn Gifford, program coordinator for Bike to Work Fraser Valley. As it stands Thursday, Nanaimo had 705 riders registered and 8,900 kilometres cycled; whereas Fraser Valley’s 788 participants had logged 5,200 kilometres cycled.

motivate residents to try biking to work this week, then how about a chance to win a trip to Europe? This year, registered participants have an opportunity to enter to win a lot of great prizes including a grand prize of a cycling trip tour for two from Prague to Budapest. “The goal is to cut down the use of a vehicle during Bike to Work Week and use a bike instead,” said Gifford. “We hope people discover that biking to get where they need to go is enjoyable.” For more information, visit www.biketowork.ca/fraser-valley.

A hefty drop in enrolment at Chilliwack’s alternate middle school programs means the Shxwetetilthet Sto:lo school portables will be closing. The school offers a First Nationsbased learning environment to middle school students, on Sto:lo territory. It is a sister school to C.H.A.N.C.E. on Prest Road. Enrolment in the two programs has dropped from 68 kids in 2009/2010, to 38 this year, said assistant superintendent Rohan Arul-pragasam. And with such a resource-heavy program, it no longer makes sense to spread resources across two sites. In the fall, he said, the “best parts of Shxwetetilthet” will be incorporated into the Prest Road campus and that the alternate middle school will continue to serve local students. The amalgamation of the two programs will put more resources under one roof, Arul-pragasam said, adding that alternate programs remain an integral part of the larger education picture in Chilliwack. “There is always going to be a need for alternate programs,” he said. C.H.A.N.C.E. is what’s known as a Type 3 school, and the criteria for enrolment are laid out in detail by the ministry of education. A student needs to have evidence of need of additional support services. There needs to be a detailed exit strategy to transition back to a mainstream school or to complete graduation requirements, as well as an individual learning plan. The drop in enrolment is a sign of success in the mainstream schools, Arulpragasam said. Schools are beginning to offer more “wrap-around services” for

Fruits of labour welcomed at Chilliwack schools McCurdy’s previous school, Little Mountain elementary, were a few of the earlier schools to sign on to the free program. She said a large shipment of produce arrives at the schools 13 times a school year, with enough food for all of the students to enjoy. “Volunteers then come in and distribute it all to the classes, and everybody gets a chance to try something,” McCurdy said. “We’ve tried kiwi, we get cherry tomatoes, carrots, and we’ve even had plums in the past.” Some of these are foods that students are trying for the very first time. “I think it opens their eyes to something new, and gives them an opportunity to try it,” she added. The food is distributed just before recess or lunch, depending
Jessica Peters The Progress When the large boxes of B.C.grown fruits and vegetables are dropped off at Chilliwack schools, there’s no telling what delights are waiting inside. Sometimes staff will find a sweet fruit, and other times it’s a hearty vegetable, says Bernard elementary principal Janine McCurdy. But whether they’re Okanagan apples or Fraser Valley blueberries, every box comes with a chance for students to discover something new. Thirty of Chilliwack’s schools are signed on to the B.C. School Fruit and Vegetable Nutritional Program, which just celebrated its tenth year of providing fresh produce to B.C. students. Bernard elementar y and
on the day, giving the teachers a chance to include a small lesson on nutrition. “This is a really good program,” McCurdy said. And more recently, BC Dairy Association has joined the program, too. At Bernard, each of the shipments include enough milk for all their kindergarten to Grade 2 students. If there are any schools that haven’t signed on, she said the process is simple. Just visit www. aitc.ca/bc and sign up. The program is provided free to schools, through provincial funding. “From humble beginnings with only 10 schools, a decade later we’re seeing phenomenal success with nearly 90 per cent of B.C. public and First Nations schools
involved in the program,” said Health Minister Terry Lake. “By providing children with fresh, delicious fruits, vegetables and milk, we’re helping them develop an appetite for healthy living - a crucial part of our Healthy Families BC prevention strategy and a major priority for the future of our health system.” The Ministry of Health and the Provincial Health Services Authority have provided combined funding of $21.5 million to the BC Agriculture in the Classroom Foundation since 2010-11 to support the program. It was created in partnership with the Ministries of Health, Agriculture, and Education and is led by the BC Agriculture in the Classroom Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing B.C.’s agriculture to
Classic car show returns to Heritage Park Attracting up to 150 beautifully maintained rare vehicles from across B.C., this year’s Fraser Valley Classic Car Show is once again free to enter, and free to attend. Sponsored by Great Canadian Oil Change, the 2015 FVCCS returns July 19 to Chilliwack’s charming Antique Powerland at Atchelitz Threshermen’s Association with venerable host Trevor McDonald, who will broadcast his popular 89.5 The Drive Nothin’ But ‘70s show live on site from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. before entertaining the crowd with his own live music throughout the afternoon, covering hits from the 1950s through the ’90s. The FVCCS evolved from the longstanding Minter Gardens Classic Car Show, and classic vehicle entries from the 1910s to 1979 are already rolling in (visit www.fvccs.ca for more info, or to register). A commitment to domestic and import pure classics sets this show apart from other vintage show and shines. “These vehicles are elegant and authentic as possible, they’re not resto-rods or custom machines,” says show manager Harv McCullough. “They’re what a car or truck would’ve looked like when manufactured in its day.” With an eye on building community through history, entrants don’t need to be members of any clubs or associations. “Anyone who owns a vehicle that qualifies can put a vehicle in the show,” McCullough explains. The event features four

students. “This program works directly with local growers and distributors to bring fresh B.C. produce to the students, right in the classroom. It is great that students are also learning that eating fresh, local produce supports B.C. farmers and the economies of our rural regions,” said Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick. New this year, the Fresh to You fundraiser was recently introduced in schools. Fresh to You allows families to buy fresh bundles of produce, with 40% of the proceeds going to support the school. This year with the launch of the fundraiser, 60 schools raised a total of $34,382 through the sales of 4,387 bundles packed full of B.C. produce.

Without people restoring these vehicles how would the younger generation understand how far the technology has come over the years?” McDonald also hosted the 2014 FVCCS, and has been looking forward to this year’s event ever since. “It’s truly one of the best cars shows in Western Canada right here in our own backyard,” he says.
“If last year was any indication, we are going to have a blast this time around!” The FVCCS runs 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, July 19 at the Atchelitz Threshermen’s Association, located alongside Chilliwack Heritage Park, 44140 Luckakuck Way. Great food and refreshments will be available to purchase. For more information, visit fvccs. ca.
A bear that was thought to have been relocated after being removed from a tree in a local park, was actually euthanized. Last Wednesday, Conser vation Officer Kyle Ackles responded to the call in Townsend Park, with the help of RCMP and Chilliwack firefighters. The bear was tranquilized in the tree and removed with the help of the fire department’s skills, and their equipment such as ropes and ladders. The small size of the bear led many to believe that it was a young bear. However, when Ackles examined the bear, he found that it was an aging bear who had become emaciated. “It was starving to death,” Ackles said. “We will do short distance relocation, or, if it’s the humane thing to do, we will euthanize the animal.” He said it was a small but older bear, who was almost down to the bones. “You could feel its hips and shoulders,” he said. “It was in very, very poor health.” Relocating the bear wouldn’t have made sense, since it would probably continue to starve to death. He said it probably made its way into the park looking for an easy food source. Bears are just waking up from their dens right now, Ackles said, and he said residents need to be vigilant in making sure their garbage isn’t an attractant to bears and other wildlife. This is possible by using bear proof garbage cans, by storing garbage cans in out buildings until as close to pick up time as possible, and by keeping highly perishable foods in the freezer until garbage day.

Tsleil-Waututh reject oil pipeline expansion Jeff Nagel Black Press Leaders of the TsleilWaututh Nation vowed Tuesday to defeat Kinder Morgan’s proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion, likening the project to a “two-headed serpent” of aboriginal myth their ancestors slayed. The Nor th Vancouver-based band released an extensive assessment it commissioned of the project’s potential impacts, projecting a significant risk of an eventual tanker or terminal spill causing ecological disaster in Burrard Inlet and Indian Arm. It says such a spill of diluted bitumen would contaminate local sea life, kill up to 500,000 birds and make more than a million people
sick from the fumes. The Tsleil-Waututh band council voted last week to reject the Trans Mountain project. Chief Maureen Thomas said the band would use “all lawful means” to enforce the decision. A group of law professors, including UBC’s Gordon Christie, said in a statement the lengthy impacts assessment released by the TsleilWaututh, along with their refusal to consent, sets the stage for a court battle alleging unjustifiable infringement of aboriginal title that could delay or ultimately derail the project. The band, which announced a year ago it would challenge the pipeline project in court, fears the sevenfold increase in tankers expected could jeopar-

dize its attempts to reinstate shellfish harvesting in the inlet that has been banned since 1972. The National Energy Board is conducting hearings on Kinder Morgan’s plan to nearly triple the capacity of the existing pipeline to carry 890,000 barrels per day. The second pipeline would mostly follow the 60-year-old original, running from northern Alberta southwest through B.C. to the terminal in Burnaby. Trans Mountain spokesperson Ali Hounsell said the com-

pany is having productive discussions with numerous bands along the pipeline corridor, adding the TsleilWaututh report filing was expected ahead of the NEB’s May 27 deadline for intervenors to submit final evidence. “Since our project was announced Trans Mountain has attempted to have multiple discussions with the TseilWaututh First Nation and with the release of this new report, we once again invite the Tseil-Waututh First Nation to come to the table,” Hounsell said.

Emterra Environmental founder and CEO Emmie Leung (right) fuels up one of their trucks with compressed natural gas (CNG) during the grand opening of their $5.25-million fuelling station on Yale Road West on Thursday afternoon. The company also launched a fleet of CNG waste and recycling collection trucks which will be used in Chilliwack. This is the first Emterra fuelling station to open in B.C. and the second in Canada. CNG is a lower cost fuel, and CNG trucks reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 20 per cent and operate at a much reduced engine sound, significantly lowering noise pollution. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

students, and teachers are working to ensure they are connecting with more students to keep them engaged in their own learning. “I see this as a success story,” he said. He points to seven different research students carried out in the past 10 years in the school district which have highlighted ways to support vulnerable students. Grad rates have gone up, overall and for First Nations students, and they’re continuing to add services that assist students in succeeding with a “meaningful Dogwood.” Rather than relying on a centuries-old, industrial model of teaching that forces the same school structure on each student, school districts are now attempting to personalize learning for each student so when they graduate, they will be well-prepared for their own future. “We’re really transitioning as a school district,” he added. An important part of the process in the future will be to change the public’s perception of alternate programs. They are not the “dumping grounds” for bad kids, Arul-pragasam said. “We have to change the face of alternative learning,” he said, noting the many good programs and initiatives taking place at the middle school alternates, and at the high school equivalent, the Ed Centre.

When kids rode bikes
The Chilliwack
Progress
R AESIDE
Oh, how things have changed. Fifty years ago the bicycles were lined up thick outside Chilliwack elementary school. A photograph that ran on the front page of a 1964 edition of the Chilliwack Progress shows nearly a hundred bikes neatly stacked in bike racks. Today, we’re sponsoring a special week to encourage people to bike to work or school. Bike to Work Week had its beginnings in Victoria in 2005 as a way to encourage people to leave their automobiles at home and opt for a two-wheeled commute. The program has enjoyed success. Last year more than 25,000 people from 44 communities took part. Collectively, they saved an estimated $61,000 in gas, burned 28.6 million calories and prevented more that 207,000 kilograms of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere. This year, organizers hoped to expand the program to include schools. “Riding to school builds physical activity into kids’ daily routine, supports in-class concentration, and provides a foundation for healthy lifestyles and a lifelong love of cycling,” they argue. “More students cycling to school reduces traffic congestion and makes your school a safer place. Plus, it’s fun and also helps the environment!” In 1964, Chilliwack students didn’t need to be told that. All they knew was that cycling was an exhilarating and liberating way to get to and from school. It was quick, convenient, and a graduating step to maturity. Today, nary a bike can be seen on most school grounds. Those students brave enough to bring one have them locked inside steel containers on site to prevent theft. Instead of bikes, cars and trucks are the vehicles that choke the approaches to school. They line up early, vying for position as dismissal time approaches. There are, of course, many reasons for this shift. But it’s not until we take a look back that we see just how far we’ve come – and how much we’ve lost. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

Government has a duty to let scientists speak Last week Canadian federal scientists, fed up with the Harper Government muzzle syndrome, went on a rant to speak publicly against the practice and demand that they be free to share their findings with the public who, through their tax dollars, pay for the research in the first place. This obsessive micromanaging of the message has become a hallmark of the feds and the subject of the 2015 Review of Free Expression in Canada published by the Canadian Journalists for Free Expression (CJFE). The stats speak for themselves. In the 2013-2014 year, only 26.9 per cent of Access to Information requests was processed by the federal government. In the last nine years, the feds have spent $57 million on external consultants to handle Access to Information requests and decide what content should be released. In a study done by Evidence for
Democracy (E4D), a leading fact-driven organization promoting transparency in government decision-making, over 85 per cent of federal departments scored a C or lower rating and four federal science depar tments received a failing grade when it came to openness of communication and protection against politiMargaret cal interference, EVANS those four being the Canadian Space Agency, Industry Canada, Natural Resources Canada, and Public Works and Government Services Canada. At the top of the heap for open communication was the Department of National Defence. CJFE approached Nanos Research to poll Canadians on their opinions about govern-
ment openness, access to information, silencing scientists and digital sur veillance. Canadians were pretty clear about wanting change. For 95 per cent of Canadians, improvement in access and openness was important; 94 per cent said scientists should be able to speak publicly about their research; 73 per cent were concerned about openness around levels of digital surveillance and other monitoring methods, and 71 per cent were concerned about the federal government tracking cell phone metadata without oversight or warrants from courts. Since coming to power, the Harper’s code of silence has sunk to new lows. The government has often been in conflict with scientific research, especially when the science about climate change clashes with the energy industry. Michael Rennie, writing in the CJFE’s report said that the
www.theprogress.com ContactUs: w
The Chilliwack
Progress
Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada reported in 2014 that 90 per cent of federal scientists do not feel they can speak freely about their work and 86 per cent fear reprimand if they do which, in the professional survival of things, leads to suppressed communication. As I wrote in this column in January 2014, federal research libraries have been closed, valuable reports sit in landfills, and scientists have been let go. Funding has been stopped for 198 research projects across Canada. Good policy can only be made when research data provides the facts. Scientists, by nature, are a quiet, dedicated bunch bringing new information to issues of interest to Canadians and furthering understanding for, they would like to believe, better policy making. But when a researcher with
Fisheries and Oceans Canada released her findings that a virus may have contributed to the B.C. sockeye salmon collapse in 2009, she was barred from speaking to the press despite her work being published in the journal Science. An Environment Canada scientist and an expert in the persistent algae known as Didymo, had his research published in BioScience. But when one reporter tried to interview him, the request generated 16 public affairs individuals spewing 110 pages of emails, resulting in no interview. Why? Didymo growth could be linked to global warming making Didymo a no-go, politically sensitive topic. Go figure. Without sound, peer-reviewed science, evidence-based policy decisions for the benefit of Canadians can’t be made. Canadians have a right to know what that science is.

Seniors decry fitness funding cut On the direction of the Seniors Advocate’s Office, I have been advised to contact your office (the ministry of health) with this great concern of the seniors and those with injuries, who participate in the “Move to Improve” program at our local YMCA here in Chilliwack. It is a very unique program for seniors, and those recovering from injuries, and only offered in our community. Fraser Health has seen fit to no longer fund this program, and have offered no alternative to the YMCA here. I am really saddened by this state of affairs because the program offered us some hope for our continued efforts to maintain good health in our future years. The managers and volunteers of this program give us instruc-
tion and confidence that we can and do improve by having this service. Many of us seniors are dealing with many handicaps and dementia and no longer know what to do about this situation. Are we to just give up? These steps that Fraser Health have, and are taking, to cut back on expenses are detrimental to the well being in the seniors population, which is on the rise here in Chilliwack. Fraser Health administration has shifted and outsourced many services that have been paid by citizens of this community. Our hospital was once state-of-the-art in our community. However, our kitchen is now bringing in food from elsewhere and reheating it on site. Our laundry is outsourced to another province. The head
office of Fraser Health seems to take whatever they need and place our services at another institution. We certainly do not see the fairness in this. We are astounded by the methods of governance they use. We are a proud community! We urge you to look into the reasons for dropping this funding on our behalf. We need this program to stay. The people at the YMCA are dear to us all the funding must come from somewhere, but please leave the seniors programs as they are. We have paid our dues, taxes and energies for years and deserve in our aging years some comfort and encouragement. Winnifred Loucks, Chilliwack
Donated fabrics continue to go to good use About three years ago, a wonderful woman who was no longer able to quilt donated her amazing collection of quilting fabrics to the G. W. Graham Home Economics department. She wanted these fabrics to be used to help students learn how to quilt. Unfortunately, I have forgotten her name, but I hope she will see this letter and learn how we have been using those fabrics and how much they have been appreciated by students and others. In early May, G. W. Graham continued their tradition of Take Action Day, and once again some students had the opportunity to make quilts for a cause. This year, using the donated fabrics, we were able

to complete two singlebed quilts for the Cyrus Centre in Chilliwack. In other years we have made quilts for babies and children that have
travelled to places like Guatemala and Africa, and to Isabella’s Umbrella for NICU hospitals in Western Canada. In addition, the
fabric has been used to make quilts in Textile Studies classes at G. W. Graham MiddleSecondary. These beautiful fabrics help make the textiles classroom feel like a fabric shop. Many metres still remain to introduce more students to quilting and will continue to be used in the design and creation of many more quilts. A huge thank you goes out to the generous person who donated these fabrics and has contributed to the enjoyment of my students as they learn to quilt. Paula Aquino Home Economics G. W.

and I have to wonder why Kinder Morgan would impose such a short deadline on our council. As news of the devastating oil spill in California unfolds we are reminded just what’s at stake here. How would we feel if it was our coastline covered in oil?

News Aevitas added to Environmental Offenders Registry Just weeks before the surprise exit of a company hoping to build a hazardous waste recycling facility in Chilliwack, the company’s name was added to the federal “Environment Offenders Registry.” Aevitas Inc. had faced stiff opposition as it pursued plans to build the facility in the Cannor industrial lands near the Fraser River for more than a year. However, during that time it always maintained its safety record was impeccable. But according to an Environment Canada press release issued last month, Aevitas and a company it had earlier contracted but now
owns, was fined a total of $87,000 for a PCB spill that had occurred in February of 2012 in Saskatoon. In Saskatchewan provincial court on January 14, 2015, both companies – Custom Environmental Ser vices Ltd., and Aevitas Inc. – entered guilty pleas to an offence under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, resulting from a spill of oil containing PCBs. On April 1, 2015, sentencing resulted in penalties of $50,000 for Custom Environmental Services Ltd. and $37,000 for Aevitas Inc. The two companies had been charged following the discovery of a spill of approximately
100 litres of oil containing PCBs from a tractor trailer at a weigh scale near Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on February 2, 2012. At the time of the incident, Custom Environmental Services Ltd. was a separate corporate entity, transporting a shipment on behalf of Aevitas Inc. The company has since been acquired by Aevitas Inc. Environment Canada’s enforcement officers conducted an on-site inspection and determined that an oillike substance was leaking from the wooden floor of the trailer. A subsequent investigation by Environment Canada’s
Enforcement Branch revealed that the truck lacked a proper secondary containment system to prevent oil containing concentrations of PCBs from being released into the environment. A lab analysis confirmed that the oil released contained concentrations of PCBs at approximately 200,000 times the minimum allowable level under PCB regulations. As a result of the conviction, the companies’ names were added to the Environmental Offenders Registry. The combined penalties of $87,000 will be directed to the Environmental Damages Fund, the ministry said.

Life& Leisure Helping hands Jessica Peters The Progress The next time Christa Roby returns to Africa, she will be going home. The Chilliwack registered massage therapist has purchased a piece of land in the southeastern country of Malawi, in a beautiful lakeside area called Nkhata Bay. “My first step is to build a house,” she said. It’s a childhood dream come true for Roby, but it’s also the first stepping stone toward building her new organization, called In Their Shoes. The new venture is a culmination of two loves – caring for people on a one-to-one basis, and being a part of the continent of Africa. She never knew how to combine the two, until recently. Roby has spent a considerable amount of her adult life in African countries, most recently in Zambia with an organization called Hands At Work. And while she was in Canada, she worked with patients here as an RMT. Her heart was tugging in both directions, until she realized she could unite the two passions. “For years, the two functioned individually, not knowing they could be blended together,” she said. As an RMT, Roby holds a vast encyclopedia of health care knowledge within her. Her mission with In Their Shoes will be to visit homes to identify which of them are caring for people who are bedridden. She will then work with those families to pass on her knowledge and teach them the skills to provide better care in their own homes. It will include teaching patients and their family caregivers how to improve mobility after illness or injury through movement and massage. “I feel my role is to not hold what I have in me, but to share it,” she said. In the best care scenarios,
treatment will allow people to earn an income once again and free up family members to do the same. At the very least, Roby will be giving patients back their dignity by showing them how to modify movements. So many simple ailments can lead to a loss of life without proper medical knowledge. For example, lower back pain, an ailment so commonly treated in western countries, can lead the family’s main income earner to be bedridden. And lower back pain is even more prevalent in areas like
Malawi, where 90 per cent of the industry is agriculture and workers typically bend at the hips instead of the knees — all day long. This sums up a few of the reasons Roby chose Malawi as the starting point for her organization. There were three criteria she set out for herself. There had to be a high health care need, and Malawi has the sixth-lowest quality of health care in the world. It had to be a place where there were many remote communities that needed home-based health care knowledge, and again, Malawi’s Nkhata Bay fits that bill perfectly. Travel from remote villages to the closest health clinics and hospitals includes boat rides, long taxi and bus journeys, or more often, days of hiking back and forth only to find closed or filled-to-capacity clinics. For 200,000 people, there may be two doctors, no pharmacy, no diagnostic machines like x-rays. Finally, the area had to be safe for Roby, and since Malawi has a democratic government that is

not currently in conflict, it was a good fit. But she pointed out that while the people of Malawi are in need, Africans are not a helpless lot. “These are strong people with the ability to survive,” she said. “What they need is hope.” And sometimes hope comes in the form of knowledge, and taking care of yourself. “My goal isn’t to build up a network of westerners,” she said, but to give the knowledge to the people of Malawi, so that they can continue to share the knowledge. “My heart is guided to work with what’s there,” she added, and in teaching the locals she hopes they will build their own new structure of health care. Giving Malawi people a new way to deal with illness and injury will give them hope, dignity and a better overall quality of life, she said. “I want to give them their basic dignity, these people have lost so much,” she said. HIV is also prevalent in Malawi, where life expectancy is 50 years of age. The epidemic has left a whole generation of parentless kids, who now have the advantage of antiviral drugs but are being raised by their aging grandparents. To learn more about In Their Shoes, or to help Roby financially in setting up her new organization in Malawi, visit www. intheirshoesafrica.com. She will also be keeping a blog on that site to share her experiences. Life in Africa is worlds apart from life in Canada, and Roby is often faced with new experiences while overseas. Staying focused on helping those in need keeps her steady. “You have to approach it with a hard softness,” she said. “You can’t be torn apart at everything. I don’t think the culture shock ever ends, it’s always a new experience.”
Christa Roby is starting a new organization called In Their Shoes, in Malawi, Africa. She will be operating a mobile outreach clinic that teaches people ways to care for their bedridden family members, and share her knowledge of health care with others. (Left) Roby demonstrates how to ease lower back pain – a common ailment in Africa where 90 per cent of the industry is agriculture. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Tops in tomatoes this year
a powerhouse of production with lots of 284g fruits right through until frost. These mid-season and mid to larger sized tomatoes are the mainstay for so many folks with smaller space gardens. Offering superb production, their flavour is excellent and the quality of their fruit is high. The standard of early tomatoes for years has been ‘Early Girl F1’ (60 days-I). It’s the earliest slicing 113-170g tomato, and I know for many folks, it’s the only tomato they grow. Cherry tomatoes have become some of the most popular tomatoes today because of their ease of care and their early and long production of bite sized, very sweet fruits. ‘Sweet 100’ has been the most popular variety for years, but a disease tolerant version, ‘Sweet Million’ (60 days-I) allegedly has more delicious small fruits. This taller growing variety produces masses of sweet fruit that are extremely high in vitamin C. This once almost exclusive domain has been taken over by a plethora of newcomers. ‘Sweet Chelsea’ (67 days-I) is larger (28g) and is just as sweet as ‘Sweet Million’. At 28g ‘Sugar Snack’ (63 days-I) is reputed to be the very sweetest, however, suddenly the gold cherry tomatoes have captured the sweet tooth market. ‘Sweet Gold’ (60 days-I) and ‘Sun Sugar’ are low acid golden versions of ‘Sweet Million’ making them high on the culinary ticket because of their delightful colour. Speaking of colour, Burpee’s have come up with a new ‘Indigo’ series of cherry tomatoes in many colours, including black. A new shape is on the horizon. Grape tomatoes made their debut in grocery stores but have caught on very quickly with gardeners. They are generally more oval in shape and tend to ripen in clusters
all at once. ‘Juliet F1’ (60 days-I), an AAS winner producing masses of 28g sized fruits in clusters, has one of the most crack resistant fruits. Very high yielding ‘Sugary’ (60 days-I) has, as the name implies, very sweet fruits. Container tomatoes have jumped in popularity since 51% of all vegetables are now grown in containers. My all time favourite is still ‘Tumbler F1’ (48 days-D). It’s the shortest cropping variety out there and I would argue their determinate status as I have simply given up trying to keep up with their amazing production. I love their sweet fruits that just keep coming. ‘Tumbling Tom Yellow’ (75 days-D) is also a great container variety and both produce on short (45cm) plants. Italian, roma and plum are paste tomatoes that are very popular for preparing those amazing sauces that make ordinary pasta come alive and also make great ketchup. ‘Roma Hybrid’ (78 daysD) is the best known and perhaps the most productive. These oblong plum-shaped tomatoes produce in abundance and have good flavour when ripe. ‘Window Box Roma’ (70 days-D) is the best container variety, and ‘Baby Golden Roma’ (74 days-D) is a low acid alternative. ‘Healthkick’ (72 days-D) is a plum tomato with 50% more lycopene than standard varieties. It grows up to 1m tall and has become very popular, especially for those folks looking for nutrition and high antioxidant levels. Today, tomatoes are the number one garden vegetable in North America, and with so many types and flavours available, I think they’ll stay on top for some time to come. I know lots of tomatoes have already been planted but there’s still plenty of time if you want to try a few more.

I prefer to break tomato varieties into various categories according to their uses. The most popular of all types are the huge sweet slicing tomatoes, commonly grown in BC’s Okanogan Valley and in Ontario’s Niagara Peninsula. Old-fashioned field tomatoes, like ‘Beefsteak’ and ‘Stokesdale’, were in a class by themselves with fabulous aroma and flavour. They can still be found, but today there are newer varieties with far more disease tolerance, earlier ripening times, huge easy-to-slice oval shapes and still great flavour. One of the largest is ‘Beefmaster F1’, weighing in anywhere from 340-560g and maturing in 70 to 81 days. It’s also very tolerant of cracking and peeling. A slightly lighter weight beauty, ‘Big Beef F1’ checks in at only 284-340g, but it has almost twice the yield. It’s also very disease resistant. ‘Beefsteak’ is still available but because of its ‘age’, it is now classified as an heirloom variety. Just to benchmark, a Brian ‘Beefsteak’ tomato weighs in between MINTER 284-454g. The Ball Corporation has come up with a very flavourful big guy (170-198g), called ‘Old Time Tasty F1’, with an old ‘Beefsteak’ look and outstanding rich juicy flavour. Believe it or not, the best selling large round tomato is ‘Better Boy F1’. Weighing about 227g, it is flavourful and very disease resistant. The old, well-known Burpee ‘Big Boy F1’ is still a good variety with handsome fruits sizing up to 227-255g. There’s a new series of modern mid to large tomatoes today that are shorter, more compact and ready in about two months. An All American Selection winner, ‘Celebrity’ (72 days-D) produces large very smooth round 227g tomatoes with great flavour on very compact plants. ‘Bush Champion’ (65 days-D) is another compact variety growing only 60cm but producing plenty of 250-340g wonderfully round tasty fruit. ‘Margo F1’ (70 days-D) is another great flavoured mid sized 170g, very flavourful tomato. It’s great for smaller spaces and is noted for its lasting quality once picked. An oldie, but still a goodie, ‘Super Fantastic’ (70 days-I)is

Enlist the power of protein to look and feel your best While standing in line at the grocery store yesterday, a magazine cover caught my eye. The headline read: “My protein miracle”. A lady on the cover reported
losing 238 pounds by taking advantage of the ‘new science of eating protein throughout the day’. Tongue in cheek, I took a photo of the cover and shared the
groundbreaking news to my Facebook wall. After all, there’s nothing new about the science of eating protein. Then it dawned on me, despite the science
being around for many years, few people are aware of the benefits of eating protein at each meal, or simply are not doing it. In fact, the most common change
people make to their diet when starting a nutrition program or fitness challenge at our studio, is adding protein to each meal. We grew up eating cereal for breakfast,
a sandwich for lunch and protein for dinner; and often continue this way of eating. Also, the fear of dietary fat still lingers; many people swap eggs for puffed rice cereal
and skim milk in an effort to lose weight. Why eat protein?
Whether you want to lose weight, increase or maintain muscle mass, or feel more energetic throughout the day, protein can help. Protein takes more time and Tanja energy to digest SHAW than carbohydrates, meaning you stay full for longer, and burn more calories during the digestion of protein. People who eat protein tend to naturally eat less, simply because they are less hungry. Protein also helps to stabilize your blood sugar and insulin levels. Protein can also help with your energy levels. When blood sugar spikes, for example after a high carbohydrate meal, the hormone insulin is released to shuttle the glucose (sugar) out of the blood stream, and into fat cells, muscle, and the liver. Protein helps to stabilize blood sugar, and therefore reduces the amount of insulin required after a meal. The result is less blood sugar being stored as body fat, and more stable energy levels throughout the day. In addition, protein plays a role in almost every cellular function in the human body. It is necessary for building and repairing muscle, red blood cells, and hormones. What are sources of protein?
Optimal sources of protein include beans, nuts, dairy (especially Greek yogurt and cottage cheese), chicken breast, eggs, egg whites, lean meat, and fish. Avoid processed meats such as hot dogs, packaged chicken, fish sticks, and deli meats, as they are very high in sodium and preservatives. How much protein?
How much protein you consume will depend on a few different factors, including your age, sex, goals, eating preferences and activity level. There are different ways to measure protein consumption: you Continued: PROTEIN/ p23

• Go on the website of the airline you’ll be using to find out restrictions for liquids, baby food, medications etc. that you’ll need on the airplane with you throughout the flight. All medications MUST have a prescription with your full name. Also, find out your meal options, if there are any, in case of food allergies & have that sorted well before the flight.
• If anyone in your entourage has not travelled long distances by flight or driving before, then it is not a bad idea to have plenty of anti nausea medications & water along. Nothing is worse than arriving at your destination & not being able to enjoy it due to upset tummies.

• First & foremost.. passports. UNEXPIRED passports. Apply for them in plenty of time, have them on your person & don’t let them out of your sight. When at your destination, lock them up in the hotel safe or the very least, your glove compartment.
• It’s very important for children(and adults really!) to drink plenty of fluids during a flight. Giving babies a bottle during takeoff & landing should help prevent ear pain. Take along a small backpack for each child with their favourite snacks, drink container, blanket, stuffed toy, over-the-ear earphones & things to do. Any travel time is a long time for a child to sit & be quiet, so making sure they have distractions will make it nicer for them, you & your fellow travellers.

• Double check your health insurance policy to be sure the whole family is covered in case of an incident. Double check if you are covered by your credit card(s) or other insurance policy, such as home or automobile. Don’t forget most travel insurance covers cancellations & lost luggage, if yours does not you may want to reconsider your insurance company.

o you’re going to do it? You’re REALLY going to do it?? You’re going to pack up the whole family & holiday… together…?? This is supposed to be fun. You’re supposed to be excited to start planning your trip. Then why is there a slight sense of dread? Planning the family vacation doesn’t have to be scary. Here are some tips & things to remember that will take all the worry away once you pack up & drive off:
• Make sure to have 4 sets of photocopies of everyone’s passports, identification, your credit cards & itinerary. Keep one with each adult in their carry on bag & keep the other two in each adult’s suitcase. This is in case you happen to be separated from each other or from your carry on items.
• If driving, why not take a cooler with drinks & snacks so that you don’t need to stop, or spend extra money on food while on the road. It can be refilled, ice added along the way & you can pack healthier snacks than you’ll most probably find on the road. Less money spent on junk food means more money for doing something fun on the trip! • Have everyone help with the planning! Get some ideas of what each person is hoping happens on this trip. Set down ground rules for behaviour that is expected & what will NOT be happening before you even leave the driveway. Have safety code words in case you become separated from the rest of your group & explain to smaller children who is ok to approach to ask for help(hotel front desk, policeman, etc.) • Make sure to take lots of photos & have everyone help make a scrapbook or photo album when you get home. Maybe even let each family member pick their favourite photo they’d like framed for a memory you’ll see every day.
• Check what your baggage weight limits are prior to leaving home to avoid overweight fines or awkward digging through your suitcases taking out what you can live without, while you’re holding up the line…
• Look for travel size games, puzzle & colouring books, and make sure everyone has something to read in case of delays. Boredom setting in has a way of putting everyone’s nerves on edge, but escaping into a good book or letting your inner artist out, can really help.
• Make sure to have at least 2 luggage tags per suitcase in case one gets detached. Also have
• Take plenty of hand wipes, tissues & sanitizer. You’re welcome.

Wellness A little bit of protein can pack a powerful punch can aim for a certain number of grams per day, or aim for a percentage of your calories to come from protein. Most sound nutrition programs recommend 20-30% of calories to come from protein. For example, if you consume 1500 calories per day, 30% protein is 112g per day. Although it’s impossible to give exact measurements, you can start by ensuring you have one serving of protein at each meal, and at least some protein at each snack. Below are examples of portion sizes. You can also use the palm of your hand as a guideline for portions. • Lean meat (beef, pork, chicken, turkey, game, etc.)- 3 oz • Salmon or other fish - 3 oz
• Canned tuna - 3 oz • Shrimp/shell fish - 3 oz • Eggs - 2 • Egg whites - 1 cup • Protein powder - 1 serving (scoop size will vary). • Nut butter - 2 tbsp • Nuts and seeds- raw, unsalted - 1/4 cup whole nuts • Yogurt- plain, 2-5% fat - 1 cup • Greek yogurt- plain, 2-5% fat - 3/4 cup • Cottage cheese- 3/4 cup • Ricotta cheese, - 1/2 cup • Cheese- 1 oz • Beans (kidney, chick peas, black beans, etc.)3/4 cup • Lentils - 3/4 cup • Tofu - 4 oz • Veggie ground round
- 3 oz • *Not an exhaustive list Though the miracle of protein may not be entirely new science, many people still do not eat protein regularly throughout the day.
Include protein at each meal to enjoy all day energy and a slimmer waistline! Tanja Shaw is a healthy-eating enthusiast, Rotarian, passionate entrepreneur, mom, runner,

TIMING BELT, WATER PUMP & TENSIONER REPLACEMENT The timing belt maintains the connection between camshaft and crankshaft. It is very important to change the timing belt regularly in order to prevent damage to the valves, cylinder head, and prevent engine damage that could lead to costly repairs. On the plus side, replacing your timing belt will increase your gas mileage and acceleration performance as well. Come speak to our Service Advisors about a timing belt inspection today.

Saving golf Hall of Fame looks for leads Golf’s problem lies in its introduction to today’s youth, writes Dick Whitlam Much has been written w ritten about the decline in golf’s popularity in the past 10 yyears. ears. Less people are interested in a sport that takes many hours to play and is difficult to master. I keep reading that if golf would jjust ust lower its prices, let golfers wear what w hat they want, act however they want and maybe even use motorized skate boards, that this would w ould revitalize the game. Golf, like all sports, also now competes with electronic games. As the games get more compelling and more expensive, kids are drawn to them and parents are spending much of their recreational dollars on these games and have less money for the traditional sports. But money is still being spent on sport and golf is hurting because it is not getting enough. I believe the traditions of golf should be kept intact. We don’t need bigger cups or tailgate parties to sell the game. The problem with the sport is not in its traditions or rules or even its price. The T he problem lies in its introduction to today’s youth. Golf is falling way w ay behind in having an introductory program, like almost every other sport has. Let’s look at hockey. Like most boys in Canada I started playing hockey when I was six, and I played until I was 35. It was well organized with coaches and ice time three times a week. My parents had
to commit moneyy up-front for the year. Most sports such as soccer, baseball, football, dance, gymnastics and martial arts all follow a similarr model. In golf, although each course tries to hold a junior dayy once a week in the summer and we have junior camps, its hard to find volunteerr coaches. The overall organization pales in comparison to the otherr sports. Parents are reluctant to pay memberships for the year and kids become disinterested because of lack k of organized coaching, competition and fellowship. Kids are drawn to team playy for the social interaction. It’s got to be fun or they are nott interested. So the answer is remaking the model. It has to be organized at least three times per week, with good coaching. It must have a team aspect and the costs must be paid for the year up-front. That’s the only wayy the golf courses can afford to operate and the only way to ensure commitmentt from families. This foundation of golfers will work k its way up through the years and, if the model is implemented, in 10 to 20 years golf will be healthierr than ever. It starts with the youth and the commitment of parents. The successful business model is already y in place with otherr sports and golf justt needs to adopt it. Golf is a greatt game and deserves to be saved.
The Chilliwack Sports Hall of Fame launches its annual nomination drive this week, looking to find the Class of 2015. The CSHOF is into its third year, honoring athletes and coaches who’ve attained distinction at the provincial, national or international level. “We are looking to recognize the very best of the best,” says CSHOF spokesman Barry Douglas. “There are many stories of Chilliwackians competing at the elite levels of their sports, but those stories have been lost over time. We need your help to bring these people and their accomplishments back into the spotlight.” In 2013 the CSHOF recognized ex-National Hockey Leaguer Dave Archibald, the national champion Turbo fastpitch team and local coaching legend Joe Ogmundson. Last year’s class included former BC Lion great Rick Klassen and the national champ 1968 3-Field hockey squad. “It was great seeing Carl Marsh, Doug ‘Smokey’ Grossart and others from 3-Field honoured last October,” Douglas says. “That’s an example of a team
that had been largely forgotten, and it was great telling the story of who they were and what they did.” Nominations come in throughout the year through the CSHOF website at chilliwackspor tshallof fame.com — names like Denis Andersen, Bob Harms, Don Martino, Al Brew and others. “We believe there are many more who are equally deserving of recognition, and we’re determined to find them,” Douglas says. “We’re asking Chilliwackians to give us some leads, particularly in the builder category, where so many contributed to making this such a great sports community.” This fall the CSHOF will induct the first nominee in the newly renamed ‘Judy Fitzsimmons Builder Category,’ honouring the CSHOF’s first president and the woman who played such a huge role in launching the CSHOF. “Without Judy and her efforts, this never would have gotten off the ground,” Douglas says. “We miss her greatly and this is one small way we can keep the memory of her alive.” Nominations will remain open until July 31. Forms can be filled out online at the CSHOF website, or clipped from the newspaper and mailed to Prospera Centre at 45323 Hodgins Ave, Chilliwack, BC, V2P 8G. Criteria for athletes is as follows: Must have participated successfully in
amateur or professional sport at the Provincial and National or International level as an individual or a member of a team, and performing in such a way as to bring special honour to Chilliwack. Said athlete must have been a resident of Chilliwack at the time of their achievement(s) or represented an Chilliwack institution or team. Criteria for teams is as follows: Must have attained a high level of excellence and brought honour to Chilliwack sport at a Provincial, National or International level in relation to junior, senior or university / college level. Teams representing Chilliwack or universities, colleges or high schools will only be considered.
1985 Grey Cup champion Rick Klassen was inducted last year.
Criteria for builders is as follows: A coach/builder can be defined as an administrator, coach, coaching staff, referee, official, trainer or volunteer. Must have attained a high level of excellence and brought recognition or honour to Chilliwack sport through ongoing dedication to building of athletes, teams or sport itself.

Camping with the Chiefs Chilliwack Chiefs head coach Jason Tatarnic leads a full slate of hockey camps this summer, including two unique offerings in August. “Right from July on there’s smaller camps focused on puck control, body contact and fundamentals,” Tatarnic said. “There’s a goaltending camp. A shootingscoring-passing camp. A camp for girls. There’s a lot of variety.” The first of the unique camps, Aug. 17-21, is a high level offering for atom-through-midget aged players. “It’s a little more intense with four hours of ice time and two hours of off-ice training,” the coach explained. “We’ll do on and off ice testing. We’ll be able to provide live video analysis of skat-
