Sex cards distributed to middle school students, ‘inappropriate’
■ C HECKING T HE L INE
Jessica Peters The Progress The school district has apologized to parents of middle school students who received “graphic and inappropriate” cards describing sexual acts and sexual street slang. The cards were given to a few of the students at C.H.A.N.C.E. Alternate last Thursday, following a presentation on healthy relationships. They were tucked into a takeaway bag of items for some, but not all, of the students. The presentation was given by Sto:lo Health, and the material to be used was previously approved by Chilliwack school district staff when it was presented at the Sto:lo alternate school. But the explicit cards used in the C.H.A.N.C.E. bags were not approved, said Rohan Arulpragasam, assistant superintendent of schools. And now, the school district is apologizing to all families affected by the distribution of the material. The decks of cards, created for and distributed by the AIDS Committee of Toronto, describe several different types of sexual acts and urge readers to perform the acts in safer ways. They use what could be deemed as obscene references and vulgar language. The Progress spoke with ACT about their card’s intended use and audience. “The A-Z sex cards that we produced are intended for gay, bi and queer men who are generally in bars or bathhouses,” said Chris Thomas, communications coordinator for ACT. “They are used in outreach as an engagement tool, something to get guys into conversations that can be difficult to get off the ground.

Highway median barrier still saving lives Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The cable-wire barrier stretched along the Chilliwack section of the Trans Canada Highway has done it again. A driver left the highway last week, hitting the median wire near Prest Road, before rolling over. The motorist, who may have suffered a medical emergency before the crash on Friday morning, was later transported to hospital with unknown injuries, said RCMP. But the driver survived the highway crash, possibly as a direct result of bouncing off the high-tech wire barrier and coming to rest in the grassy median.
“It certainly did its job in this case,” confirmed RCMP Staff Sgt. Dave Peet, head of Fraser Valley Traffic Services, speaking about the median wire barrier that runs from Annis Road to Lickman Road. “Those wires save lives. This is a real technological advance in road safety and engineering. You don’t have to go any further than the I-5 to also see them in action across the line.” The wire tension is “incredible,” he noted. The barrier has the unique ability to absorb the enormous impact of vehicle collisions, keeping them from catapulting back out toward traffic and crashing into other vehicles. “Anytime you can prevent a
FOR LIFE’S ’S
head-on crash, you’ve done something right,” said Mike Weightman, road safety coordinator for ICBC in the Fraser Valley. When the first section of wirecable barrier went up along Highway 1 in 2007, it was the first time the technology had ever been installed on a major B.C. highway, with wire ropes supported by collapsible posts and anchor polls. By design, the energy of any impact is absorbed by the wires and posts, which reduces the chance of injury and vehicle damage. It was a notorious section of the Trans Canada with a history of cross-over crashes. The local MLAs of the day pushed Ministry of Transportation to try out the
wire barrier concept, with the support of local community members. They went ahead with the wire barrier, installing it at a cost of about $364,000, with about $30,000 chipped in from ICBC. The idea was to cut down the number of fatal crashes and severity of injuries on the grassy medians separating the lanes of traffic. The first extension of the median wire barrier went in going east from Prest to Annis Road at a cost of just over $632,000. Then it was extended all the way to Lickman Road, in a joint provincial and federal project that cost about $1 million and was completed in 2010. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Seniors health program cancelled by Fraser Health YMCA setting up program to fill gap left after popular rehab program nixed Jessica Peters The Progress Fraser Health has cancelled funding for two programs that have helped countless Chilliwack residents on the path to rehabilitation, Move to Improve and Cardiac Care. Move to Improve will end on June 29, after years of being offered exclusively through the Chilliwack YMCA. The YMCA recently received notice from the health authority that the FHA will no longer fund the Move to Improve program, and passed the message
onto their members. That includes Winnifred Loucks, 74, who has been using Move to Improve for almost one year. “I just can’t see this happening,” she said of the program cancellation. When she began, she was using a cane and walker to get around. Now, she’s walking without mobility aids, and credits the program for getting her to this point. “I wasn’t walking when I went into the Y,” she said. “I had a walker and a cane, and now I’m walking on my own, so it’s doing me all kinds of good.”
The free program regularly had about 30 participants, all of whom were referred into the program by medical professionals within Fraser Health. It was deck and pool-based, and had the support of health professionals who also helped run the program. It was developed specifically for the Chilliwack YMCA, who says it is working with registrants to find suitable programs for each of them. A new program called Fundamental Fitness, designed for seniors who need a supported exercise program, will replace Move to Improve. It will be free to members and offered to non-members with a drop-in fee. While Fraser Health has ended the funding partnership for Cardiac
Care as well, the YMCA will continue offering that program with a user fee attached. Those with complex health issues will need to speak with their doctors about the best program for their needs. Fraser Health has not responded to a request by media to explain the cancellation of the long-standing funding partnership for the programs. Loucks, a former nurse, said it would not be possible for participants to carry on doing the exercise programs on their own. “I don’t have the equipment to do it,” she said, adding that some of the participants are stroke patients, or had been in accidents. “This is a really sad state of
affairs,” she added, that the program is not being continued by Fraser Health. She sees it as just one more service being cut by the health authority. “They’re doing this now to cut expenses,” she said. “But they’re just going to set themselves up for a catastrophe.” Loucks has forwarded her concerns to both MLA John Martin and MLA Laurie Throness, and has spoken to the B.C. Seniors Advocate, Isobel Mackenzie. She’s hoping the loss of services will be re-evaluated. “She is a nurse, and she has been there and done that and she really knows the business,” Loucks said. “She’s a true advocate.” jpeters@theprogress.com
Chilliwack sees driest April/May on record

A woman (right) donates a bag of food to the third annual Stuff the Truck food drive spearheaded by Central Community Church on Saturday at Save-On Foods in downtown Chilliwack. With help from Sardis Baptist Church and Harrison Gospel Chapel, the event took place at three different locations, two in Chilliwack and one in Agassiz, collecting nonperishable food items for the Chilliwack Salvation Army. May was Hunger Awareness month, and for the last few years the church has ended the month with a food drive. This year, Stuff the Truck brought in nearly 35,000 items. Over the last three years the event has raised nearly 77,000 food items. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Weather dictates almost everything when you’re farming. The corn came up across Chilliwack recently and it desperately needs the rain that was falling on Tuesday, with a little more expected Wednesday. The dry weather means farmers may have plowed and planted their fields earlier than usual this spring, and fewer mosquito larvae will be hydrated in the river channels. But the paltry April and May rain totals make for the driest on record, according to Roger Pannett, the Environment Canada volunteer weather observer for Chilliwack. It rained 39.4 mm in May, compared to an average May rainfall of 98.3 mm, said Pannett. Most of that fell on May 5, when the 24.4 mm of rain became the “most significant” rainfall since the middle of March 2015. Rainfall totals were 60 per cent below normal. “The abnormally mild and warm record-breaking conditions of the past four months continued into May,” said Pannett in his monthly weather report, citing a mean temperature of 16.68 C, which made it the warmest May since local records began in 1895. The previous warmest May was in 1993 with a mean temperature of 16.07 C. With 67 per cent of the land base in Chilliwack being agricultural, the amount of rain has impacts locally. Coun. Chris Kloot noted it’s been pretty dry out there across Chilliwack, and was praising the raindrops on his windshield Monday night. “I’m a farm kid, not a crop farmer, but I know there have been three years of drier than normal conditions.” It’s been a pattern in the whole region, he said.

Chilliwack water named ‘Best in B.C.’ The City of Chilliwack earned bragging rights to the “best tasting tap water in B.C. on Thursday. Chilliwack’s drinking water was up against tap water from 15 other communities from across B.C. in the second annual “Best of the Best” Tap Water Taste Test, hosted at BC Water and Waste Associations’ Conference, held this week in Kelowna. A panel of selected “aqualiers” sampled and evaluated water based on appearance, aroma, taste, mouth feel, aftertaste, and overall impression. It was the second annual event, held this year in Kelowna – home of the defending champion. The taste test was held at the BCWWA’s annual conference, the largest peer-to-peer style conference for the water industry in Western Canada. The conference examines how commu-
nities can conserve and protect water resources, and build respect for water and and the role wastewater systems play in safeguarding public health, the environment, and quality of life. “British Columbia has knowledgeable and passionate water professionals who ensure we have access to safe, secure and sustainable water and wastewater systems,” says Tanja McQueen, CEO of the 4,700-member BCWWA. “We all need to remember that there is no substitute for the water we use daily. We cannot take it for granted. The Tap Water Taste Test is a way to celebrate our water systems and remind everyone that investment in these essential systems is an investment in our health, a clean environment, and our economic prosperity.” The victory comes more than a year after the City of Chilliwack was
ordered by the Fraser Health Authority to begin adding chlorine to its drinking water – an order that drew harsh criticism from both the public and local politicians. Prior to that, Chilliwack was one of the few communities in the country that did not chlorinate its water. More than 90 per cent of B.C. residents source their water from municipal distribution systems. Many communities that entered to compete returned for a second year to prove their water was the best. Other communities that competed included City of Prince George, Furry Creek, Radium, City of Kamloops, Harrison Hot Springs, City of Penticton, Lillooet Lake, Bralorne, Gold Bridge, Squamish, Clearbrook, Rutland, City of Nelson, RDNO Greater Vernon and City of Kelowna.

Patients who have endured excessive waits for surgery may get into the operating room faster this summer. The province is injecting $10 million into the system to perform an extra 1,000 surgeries province-wide in an effort to reduce wait times. The extra money will be targeted for patients who have waited longer than 40 weeks for surgery, Health Minister Terr y Lake said Monday. Orthopedic surgeries, cataracts, hernias, plastic surgeries and ear, nose and throat procedures will be eligible for accelerated treatment. Lake said the money will open up extra operating room time in hospitals across the province, and in some cases it will be used to contract private clinics to perform extra day surgeries. “Patients want to have their surgeries done,” Lake told reporters. “If the quality is

there and if it reduces wait lists and it’s paid for and administered by the public system, I think British Columbians would agree with that approach.” Just one per cent of surgeries in B.C. were performed by private clinics using public funds in 2013. It’s not yet clear how much that might increase and it will vary depending on the region. A spokesperson said
Fraser Health so far has no intention of contracting out to private clinics and expects to provide 500 extra surgeries through its own hospitals this summer. Island Health said in April it’s seeking a private clinic operator to provide up to 4,000 day surgeries a year, or about 10 per cent of the region’s annual total. Further cash infusions for surger y increases are expected in the fall and early next
year. Along with the promised short-term relief, the province is also pursuing longer-range measures to make the surgical system more efficient. Many family doctors often refer to the same heavily booked surgeon due to reputation or preference, while other surgeons are sometimes idle.

More use of private clinics eyed CLINICS from page 4 shift to a pool of surgeons where patients get assigned to the first one available. Similarly, patients who face a long wait to get into their local hospital may be urged to instead get their surgery performed at another hospital an hour or so down the road where OR time is going unused. “For patients, it’s not as convenient perhaps,” Lake said. “But it is an opportunity to have their surgery done faster.” More recruitment and training of anaesthetists and surgical nurses is also part of the long-range plan.
B.C. has increased the numbers of surgeries it performs over the years, but demand has risen faster. Lake pointed to soaring demand for procedures such as hip replacements over the last 15 years as patients realize what recent medical advancements now offer them. Each year there are more seniors who are typically living longer lives. “We know these surgeries are becoming the expectation for people who want to live a good quality of life and that is the demand we want to meet.” More than 50 of the province’s nearly 300 operating rooms are not regularly staffed, according to a health ministry discussion paper on surgical reform.
Having trouble managing your Diabetes? Would you like a Diabetes Coach?
It said operating rooms are generally idle because health authorities have insufficient funds to run them, but in some cases they’re shuttered because of a lack of specialized staff such as anaesthestists or insufficient local demand. According to the provincial surgical wait time website, the typical patient is waiting 45 weeks for knee replacement surgery and up to 10 per cent of them wait 77 weeks or longer. B.C.’s target is to complete knee surgeries within 26 weeks. Fraser Health engineered its own surger y surge earlier this year, reallocating a budget surplus to perform seven per cent more surgeries to reduce wait lists.
RCMP harassment lawsuit in court Women who say they were harassed and discriminated against during their service with the RCMP are in B.C. Supreme Court this week attempting to certify a class action lawsuit against the force. The cer tification hearing began Monday and the proposed class action would include 362 current and former officers and civilian employees across the country. The case was launched in 2012 by Janet Merlo, a 19-year
officer with the Nanaimo RCMP who was among the first officers to go public with allegations. Lawyer David Klein said the common thread among the complainants is harassment, bullying and discrimination over an extended period of time. More women would be able to join the case if a judge agrees there was a systemic problem and certifies the class action. ~ Black Press

No one was injured during the execution of the warrant, Rail said. Everyone who witnesses anything they believe to be suspicious in nature is encouraged to contact the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611, he added. Or, if they wish to remain anonymous, they can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
“Our investigation was initiated when folks reported to us unusual activity in the area,” says Cpl. Mike Rail. “Neighbours watching out for neighbours is one of the most effective means we have to continue keeping our community safe.” The suspect was later released from police custody pending further investigation.
the crime reduction unit and serious crime unit gained entry through a side door. A 47-year-old Chilliwack man was taken into custody. Drugs, believed to be crack cocaine, heroin as well as cash and a loaded firearm were seized during the search of the home, located in the 45700 block of Princess Avenue.

Fire destroys two businesses in Hope Erin Knutson Black Press Two businesses in Hope were destroyed by fire late Saturday night. The blaze, which began around 9:30 p.m., gutted Canyon Carpets and three residential apartments within the Wallace Street structure, before moving onto neighbouring business Jay’s Appliance and Repair. The combined efforts of more than 20 volunteer firefighters, in an amalgamation of Hope and Yale firefighting crews, were able to keep the intense fire from damaging nearby structures. “It’s sad to see the loss of two buildings in our community that housed two active businesses and three residential apartments,� said Hope’s Mayor Wilfried Vicktor. Canyon Carpets, which also sold paint, helped fuel the fire and escalate the speed and intensity of the blaze, which left subtle damage to vinyl siding of a neighbouring facade. No one was injured in the fire and the cause remains under investigation. “Thoughts and prayers go out to those involved and a special thanks to the fire personnel who worked tirelessly to contain the blaze to the smallest area possible,� said Vicktor.

Invasion of privacy
The Chilliwack
Progress
R AESIDE
The BC Liberal government is in the process of adopting the Election Amendment Act, which will give candidates and political parties the ability to access hitherto private data about voters from past provincial elections. The NDP, unfortunately, has gone along with the basic thrust of this law. The most principled opposition has come from Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver, and independent Vicki Huntington has also been challenging the law. The main purpose behind the law is to allow well-funded political parties, notably the BC Liberals and NDP, to “mine” voter data and craft campaigns to encourage their own supporters to come to the polls, while at the same time (and likely quite secretly) coming up with ways of targeting specific supporters of the other parties from casting votes. Along the way, they will be digging into voters’ privacy in a way that has caused the Information and Privacy Commissioner great concerns. It is unfortunate that there has been so little attention paid to this. As Huntington noted in a press release, after an amendment to the bill was defeated, “People don’t want to be targeted or harassed based on whether or not they voted. This bill won’t encourage voter participation. It will reinforce voter cynicism.” The amendment, introduced by Weaver, called for a delay in implementing the law until there was more public consultation. While the NDP supported the amendment, the BC Liberal majority voted against it. B.C. is, in some ways, the wild west of politics. There are no restrictions on donations from businesses, associations, wealthy individuals or unions to political campaigns. Now the political parties are being handed another tool that, in a day and age when it is easier than ever to collect a raft of data about individuals, will allow them to hone their message and specifically target individuals. This law is an invasion of privacy and will only lead to political manipulation, all in the name of winning an election. ~ Black Press
B.C. V IEWS
Is this province a Third World backwater? VICTORIA – We might call ourselves Super, Natural or even The Best Place on Earth, but how is B.C. viewed around the world? Ever since U.S. billionaires and their environmental clients decided more than a decade ago to supervise our society, the impression that British Columbia is a primitive colonial backwater in need of “saving” has only been reinforced. In late April, the province and coastal aboriginal leaders announced completion of marine planning areas for Haida Gwaii and the North and Central Coast. U.S. activists knew about the announcement weeks before the legislature press gallery did, and a documentary crew was sent up to advance the narrative of the saving of the “Great Bear Rainforest.” Within minutes of the announcement, the World Wildlife Fund website trumpeted the creation
of the “Great Bear Sea,” continuing the penchant of outsiders for renaming large parts of B.C. to fit their marketing strategies. Unlike the “Great Bear Rainforest” land use deal of 2007, the Sierra Club, ForestEthics and Greenpeace were not represented. Instead, Tides Tom Canada CEO Ross FLETCHER McMillan sat beaming in the audience. McMillan’s role in directing U.S. foundation money to B.C. has prompted him to declare himself “a principal architect of the Great Bear Rainforest project,” although in the early years he and his staff (currently 24 people) stayed behind the scenes while Sierra, Greenpeace et al took the
credit. At the event, two aboriginal leaders gave a nod to the real funder of the ongoing effort to “save” the B.C. coast, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. Gordon Moore is a co-founder of Intel Corp., maker of most of the world’s computer processor chips, now spending his vast fortune on the Amazon basin, B.C. and other “threatened” places. Other Silicon Valley and Seattle billionaires helped finance the original effort, and a strategy document surfaced in 2008 describing their plan to de-market the Alberta oilsands by creating a blockade against energy exports on our Pacific coast. That campaign has featured a fake cancer study and grossly exaggerated greenhouse gas claims compared to U.S. coal and oil production. The effort has since expanded to natural gas, with false horror

stories about “fracking” finding a receptive global audience. Last week I wrote about the plan by British manufacturing conglomerate Reckitt Benckiser to buy up farms in the B.C. Interior and replant them with trees. Contrary to my description, “RB Trees for Change” isn’t participating in the dodgy European carbon credit market. They’re just doing it for global marketing purposes, covering pioneer-cleared farms of our colonial backwater with forest for 100 years so they can advertise their soaps and cold pills as carbon neutral. Another 10,000 hectares of B.C. “saved” from destruction by benevolent foreign interests! Back to reality. B.C.’s Auditor General issued a report last week calling on the province to do more to prevent the “cumulative effects” of industrial development. A familiar example of this is
the struggle to maintain caribou herds in northern B.C. The B.C. government mustered a response from the multiple ministries that have worked on this since 2010. Among other things, they noted that 90 per cent of B.C.’s vast area is now covered by regional land use plans created to manage cumulative impacts. A whopping 37 per cent of B.C. is designated as parks and protected areas for environmental and cultural values. Maybe that’s still not good enough, but it’s better than anything I can find in Europe or the U.S. That’s particularly true of California, home of Hollywood, Silicon Valley, a pipeline spill, heavy oil refining and gridlocked freeways.

Leave your pets at home in the summer The “stupid season” is upon us and with it comes the foolish guardian who believes they cannot leave their home without taking their so-called “beloved pet” shopping with them. Believe me, the dog or cat can live longer alone at home than being taken to the local mall and left in your hot vehicle while you go shopping. Let me ask you, “How would you feel to return and find your dog or cat dead on the car seat?” Please, think carefully, and realize the animal could be dead in less than 10 minutes if left in a vehicle on a hot day. Good Samaritans witnessing an animal in a closed hot vehicle are disposed to try and rescue. This may mean going in the local supermarket store or “box store” to
report but often employees are less than cooperative. Thus, inform your employees how to respond, make a “PA” announcement stating problem and licence number. Conversely, phone the local police and report the incident, with make of vehicle and licence number, time of occurrence. But sadly, local detachment commanders, inspectors or officerin-charge need refreshing upon how to respond, legal rights to “break windows” and the public needs to be continually informed by BC SPCA and announcements by local mayors and councils, as to the violation and penalty, many times during the “stupid season” if we are to ever convince otherwise caring guardians to take proper precautions to protect the lives of
9
their beloved pets. The first encounter was Friday late afternoon at Mission Superstore, two small dogs, maybe daschunds, found in a hot vehicle with window barely open a half inch, that in short order if left unattended the dogs could be dead. Upon arrival police looked at dogs, remarked “they look healthy and active,” and can you believe, got in their car and left the parking lot. Only to be observed, to turn around, must have had second thoughts, and returned to the scene, to the relief of citizens now gathered around. The guardian and her daughter returned to the vehicle but unknown what was discussed by police, hopefully a stiff fine for stupidity? George F. Evens

Anyone who did not attend the Saturday May 23rd concert by the Chilliwack Metropolitan Orchestra missed an extraordinar y event. The concert’s theme was music from Walt Disney’s Fantasia, and if that was not entertaining enough, an uncommonly powerful performance of George Gershwins Rhapsody In Blue very nearly “raised the roof” of the Cultural Centre’s Main Stage. Piano soloist, Sara Davis Buechner, demonstrated a range of dynamics that many
never imagined the Cultural Centre’s grand piano capable of; she delivered wave after wave of developing dynamic, concluding with a breathtaking climax of sound that will be remembered by audience members for a very long time. So many things about the concert were noteworthy, with the tiniest details attended to. The writer particularly appreciated the carefully researched narration by Jack Kopstein and the authentic “visuals” projected as backdrop. One
visual in particular stood out: a “short” of candles carried over a bridge animated by Klaus von Werner, and mounted for this event by Elmar Goldsmith was mesmerizing. The violin solo performed by Sora Takahashi, Ave Maria by Franz Schubert, was also memorable for its beauty and the tangible affection in the orchestra’s accompaniment; after three years in Canada, Sora will soon return to her home in Japan. Pianist, Dr. Derrick
Rogers, elegantly accompanied the strings of the CMO in Debussy’s translucent Claire de lune. The CMO has been developing steadily as an ensemble since its establishment in 2008. This performance, and indeed the entire programme so beautifully crafted by conductor and artistic director, Gregory Douglas Johnson, demonstrated a maturity of technique and interpretation seldom heard from a community orchestra. What a performance! Paula Quick
Harper Conservatives shouldn’t throw stones As expected, the Harper election campaign has shifted into high gear with the first of the expected contemptible ads zeroing in on Justin Trudeau. As despicable as these ads are they serve to show us in graphic terms the whole raison d’etre of the Conservative government under Stephen Harper to do anything to remain in power. They call Trudeau shallow and a lightweight and not ready to lead a government and they do this without shame. Mr. Harper is the man under whose leadership we have seen electoral malfeasance, criticism of Supreme Court decisions and justices, dismissal of the most shame-
less sort of our esteemed veterans, denigration of women, muzzling of scientists who are paid by us to comment on their work, absolute lack of cooperation with provincial premiers, no action on environmental matters, no action on child poverty and food security for the one million children who go to bed and school everyday hungry, a naming of nearly 50 senators when a promise was made not to appoint and to reform the senate, the Duffy affair et al, contempt of parliament, omnibus bills, and now an attempt to manipulate the press over election debates and the use of taxpayers money to air ads with the only purpose but to promote the Conservative Party.
The Conservatives have gall to criticize Mr. Trudeau’s good looks, his hair and his inexperience? What would one ask, does nice hair, good looks and experience done for Canadians after eight years with Stephen Harper at the helm? Seven consecutive deficits, $172 billion added to our national debt, an entanglement in a Mideast war and a border service that can’t get information on who is trying to enter in to our country? Stephen Harper has proven without a doubt that he is in over his head and cannot handle the job of Prime Minister. He is just not ready yet. Wayne Underhill Chilliwack BC

Hot, dry summer ahead DRY from page 3 they grow corn for cows. “Weather dictates everything when farming,” he said. They were hoping for a good downpour since the dryness leads to lower yields. In the absence of rain, agri-food producers get out the irrigation equipment. “The irrigation reels and gun work well but nothing compares to a good rain.” Temperature extremes for May included a maximum of 29.0 C on May 21 and a mini-
mum of 4.5 C on May 5 with an unusually low elevation snowfall. The April (54.1mm) and May (39.4mm) totals mirrored the previous driest spring period recorded in 1912. “The trend indicating a hot and dry summer remains,” said Pannett. “Summer has arrived early! It’s too warm and too dry!” he noted.

They contacted the school district to ask why the cards were distributed. Arul-pragasam said he
was equally shocked. “It was alarming,” he said. “These are graphic and inappropriate cards meant for an audience over 18 years of age.” He explained that district staff members were happy with the presentation that took place previously at the Sto:lo school, and approved the resource package used there. “The only material was a video,” he said. “The assumption was that the same material would be handed out.” But somewhere along the way, the cards were added as a resource and given to some of the students.

Feinberg
Soprano Rebecca Paulding will be performing with the Fraser Valley Philharmonic Society’s upcoming show on June 13. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS FILE
Memorial tribute part of Mostly Mozart Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The Fraser Valley Philharmonic Society has a solid track record of supporting young performers with its annual Mostly Mozart concert. This year is no different, and the concert is slated for Saturday, June 13 at Chilliwack United Church. A choral musical tribute to the late Emily Janzen, a former Orchestra Philomusic member, will see In Paradisum from Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem performed in her memory. All selections of the night’s program will be conducted by
Maestro Leonard Camplin and supported by Orchestra Philomusica, and soloists. The concert will showcase the extraordinary talents of Clinton Denoni, playing the popular Piano Concerto No. 21, and soprano Rebecca Paulding performing operatic arias from Don Giovanni, The Marriage of Figaro, and favourites from Donizetti’s Don Pasquale and Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi, said FVPS spokesperson Paula Quick. Chilliwack’s Denoni has made a name for himself in Canadian music circles as a pianist of rare ability. He recently completed a Master’s degree in piano performance from the esteemed
Cleveland Institute of Music. Concert pianist Edward J. Parker describes Denoni, his student: “Clinton has been studying piano with me for the past eight years and during this time has matured into an impressively dynamic, colourful pianist who performs with passion and authority … and I foresee a brilliant future for him.” Paulding has also recently completed a Master’s degree in Opera performance at the University of Manitoba. “Her vocal ease and dramatic stage presence have enthralled audiences since she first set out upon the operatic path,” said Quick.
Paulding began her vocal studies with Quick at the Chilliwack Academy of Music, and later studied with Ingrid Suderman at Trinity Western University and with Joanne Hounsell at the Victoria Conservatory. She was the 2009 B.C. provincial winner of Senior Classical Voice, as well as the Silver Medalist for Grade 10 RCM Voice. Paulding has also won numerous awards at festivals, including two provincial awards for performance of Canadian Music. This will be Paulding’s second appearance at the annual Mostly Mozart celebrations. Both young musicians will pursue doctoral studies in perfor-
mance in Fall 2016. This hand-selected professional orchestra will open the concert with the delightfully youthful Symphony No. 1, K16, as well as having plans to perform the Divertimento in F major, K138 and Symphony No. 30, K202. Tickets $25 General and $20 Seniors/Youth 19 and under, may be purchased at Long & McQuade Music, Chilliwack (cash only) and King’s Music, Sardis (CC accepted). For further information call 604-316-2729. The Fraser Valley Philharmonic Society’s Mostly Mozart 2015 is for Saturday, June 13, 2015 7:30 p.m. at Chilliwack United Church.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Business
From the desk of Executive Director FIENY VAN DEN BOOM...
From May 24-27, Vice-President Ingrid Gauw & I attended British Columbia’s foremost business gathering, the 63rd BC Chamber Annual General Meeting & Conference in Prince George. One of the prominent speakers the Honourable Shirley Bond, Minister of Jobs, Tourism & Skills Training & Minister Responsible for Labour, spoke about the importance of skills training & British Columbia’s ability to build a liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry. A very important part of this conference is voting on new business/ economic policies by approximately 134 Chamber delegates from across B.C. These proposed policies call for local government reform changes to for example: Energy policy, a new take on Property Transfer Tax & promoting Innovation in Regional Solid Waste Management. This year delegates voted in 39 policies; these adopted policies now become part of the BC Chamber’s advocacy agenda. As quoted by John Winter, president and CEO, BC Chamber of Commerce on the BC Chamber policy process: “Our policy development process canvasses the best and brightest ideas from business leaders right across B.C. Once again this year, this unique grassroots process has
delivered some excellent policy recommendations to help enhance B.C. as a business jurisdiction.” On Promoting Innovation on Solid Waste Management: “There is a potential conflict of interest, Chambers are asking regional governments to structure or restructure waste management policies in a manner that reduces expenditures on publicly-owned facilities when in direct competition with private industry - to promote innovation and investment by private enterprise.” On A More Transparent Approach to Taxation in B.C.: “There is an erosion of public trust around taxation decisions, Chambers recommend the provincial government commit to a provincial dialogue on tax in B.C. to determine what is the appropriate mix and type of taxes and levies need to pay for programs and services.” On Rebalancing Municipalities and Regional Districts: “Taxpayers deserve a more accountable and efficient regional governance system, B.C.’s Chambers believe the current “Local Government Act” is inadequate and recommends the provincial government modernize the Regional District Legislation.” On Provincial Role on Municipal Restructuring: “There are areas in B.C. where urban municipalities share

of Dreams. On his success, Kinsella describes it as moderate in comparison to his contemporaries in Stephen King, and even Danielle Steele, who have a tendency to write for the masses, but might be lacking in the substance of more interesting writers. Short stories are Kinsella’s speciality, and he continues to write from his quaint riverfront home. “The midlist author is long gone,” he said, of his time in the spotlight. That hasn’t kept the seasoned professional from his computer, but the authentic writer, who adopted his black cat Blossom a few years back from a rescue, professes to writing long hand and generating only one copy. “I’m too lazy for anything else,” he admits on his writing style. In truth, his writing style is based on a careful deliberation and extensive thought process, that allowed the contemplative, humorous and kindly intelligent patriarch of fiction to create a body of work that inspires, while, demonstrating a level of craftsmanship belonging to a long gone era in fiction. Hollywood came up, and the lack of, or overdone, maximize effects to maximize profit philosophy came to the forefront, though Kinsella gave a nod to Gone Girl. One thing is for sure, upon meeting the man and pouring over his latest compilation — it delivers a truthfully entertaining prose and is often selfdeprecating in style, as is the man himself on matters near and dear. There is a knowing about Kinsella that is intriguing enough to want to buy the book.

Check out Vancouver based five-piece Echo Nebraska on June 5 at Acoustic Emporium. The band’s debut EP, Send The Ships, features a rustic acoustic sound that may have resulted if REM and Father John Misty spent a night together in a forest, according to the website bio. Ranging from the gentle new country of “Nice Philosophy” to the riffier rock of “Out of Time” and lilting harmony-heavy first single, “Hey Allison,” the record is cohesive while still being diverse. The band grew out of an organic, creative setting that turned into something a lot bigger than they had intended. Singer/songwriter Devan Christodoulou and bassist Gunn Park were recording with producer Colin Stewart (Dan Mangan/The New Pornographers), when Continued: ECHO/ p19

they met audio engineer, Andy Schichter. “The drummer had a hard rock style so I found myself writing songs that fit his intensity,” says Christodoulou. “However, I was writing songs outside the band that were closer to my roots. When I met Andy, I showed him some of those songs.” Schichter invited Christodoulou over to his home to record demos. Hearing something special in what they had cut, they went into the studio with Park. With the recruitment of keyboardist Karen Hefford, violinist Kathy Kwon, and drummer Mike Lauder, the band is now looking forward

to seeing how the songs evolve on the road. “When we went into the studio, we had all the parts set in stone. We were pleased with the demos, so it was just a matter of re-recording them in a proper studio setting,” says Schichter. “It doesn’t have to stay that way. We can reimagine these songs on stage.” Echo Nebraska, 7:30 on Friday, June 5 at Acoustic Emporium on Wellington.

Wild time The Wenatchee Wild will join the BCHL as its 17th franchise starting next season, the team and league announced Monday at a media conference held in the central Washington city. “The BCHL is gaining a strong franchise in the Wenatchee Wild and we value the passion and professionalism they bring to our league,” said BCHL commissioner John Grisdale. “The Wild will quickly develop rivalries with our existing franchises and I believe they will be a big draw in opposing buildings.” The Wild had been a member the North
American Hockey League (NAHL) since 2008-09, with winning records in each of their seven seasons. This past year they had six players on their roster committing to NCAA Div. I programs. Playing out of Wenatchee’s Town Toyota Center, the team averages about 3,000 fans per game. Head coach Bliss Littler, a native of Minot, N.D., is entering his 22nd year as a junior hockey coach. As a U.S.-based club, the Wild will be allowed to roster a maximum of four Canadian players. With today’s announcement, they become the first U.S.-based franchise in the BCHL since the Bellingham Ice Hawks, who operated from 1990 to 1995. See bchl.ca

Chilliwack Chiefs recruiting California kids Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Chilliwack Chiefs coach Jason Tatarnic will look to increase his team’s international footprint when he holds an evaluation camp in Los Angeles, CA. Tatarnic heads south in late July (24-26), setting up shop in the Toyota Centre, home of the National Hockey League’s Anaheim Ducks. “We know California is a hot-bed for good hockey players right now, and we want to establish our identity more down there,” he said. “When California kids are looking to play hockey, we
want them thinking about the Chilliwack Chiefs.” Tatarnic’s 2014-15 roster included two Cali kids. Forward Luke McColgan was there from training camp, and goaltender David Jacobson arrived after Christmas. Both were important players, but the bulk of the American imports came from Connecticut and Vermont. “Last year we did well in the east, and this year we did well in the east, but you can never rest on just one area when you recruit,” Tatarnic noted. “You want to expand your recruiting area and to us, California’s right in our backyard. We want to get
down there and open those doors.” Tatarnic’s 2015-16 roster is almost fully stocked, meaning players he recruits at the LA camp won’t make an immediate impact. “We’ve made it quite known that we recruit early, and we’ve already star ted the recruiting process for 2016-17,” the coach explained. “This camp is for a specific age group, kids we’ll be looking to identify and then invite to our spring camp in 2016.” Tatarnic’s not placing any numerical expectations on
the camp, knowing attendance might be underwhelming at first. But he believes it will grow and grow over the next few years, and he’s done plenty of leg-work to promote it. “The camp will be a success if we find one or two kids,” Tatarnic said. “They have some really good players, and some hidden players too, diamonds in the rough. Some of them might just need an opportunity to play somewhere.” The team got positive results from an appear-
ance in Rubber Magazine, a popular publication read by players and parents involved with California’s ice and inline hockey communities. The team has posters up at the Toyota Centre and a link on the arena’s ‘camps and clinics’ page. “We’ve contacted all the minor hockey associations down there to spread the word to their members,” Tatarnic added. Chilliwack’s not the only BCHL team interested in California. The Salmon Arm Silverbacks had a camp just outside of LA. “They’re pretty aggressive, doing camps in California and Colorado,”
Our rewards are more uplifting. {x xÈÊ9> iÊ,`°]Ê Ü>V ÊUÊÈä{°Ç x°Î{x{
More rewarding.
Tatarnic said. “Every team’s different in the way they approach things. Our next thing is to establish one in Boston, and we’ve already selected the dates and started making contacts for next year.” “Colorado’s getting bigger,” he added. “Texas is growing and the new one that’s really coming up is southern Florida. Even Ohio and Wisconsin, there’s lots of growth there.” ● The Chiefs have just released a new recruitment video which can be viewed on the team’s website at chilliwackchiefs.net or on YouTube (search Chilliwack Chiefs recruitment video).

Five golfers tied for the tourney lead at 12 under par and had to settle matters in a playoff. American Drew Weaver out-lasted the

Chilliwack’s Pauls podiums to earn Universaide spot Aaron Pauls has authored many memorable moments over the years with the University of the Fraser Valley men’s golf team. He made sure his last tournament as a member of the Cascades fit that description. The Chilliwack native came into Friday’s fourth and final round of the Canadian University/College Championship at Cutten Fields in Guelph, ON. tied for the individual lead. While he didn’t end up taking home the title, he did finish third to earn All-Canadian honours and secure a spot on Canada’s threemember men’s squad for the 2015 Summer Universiade. That event will be held in Gwangju, South Korea in July. Pauls and his UFV teammates, including fellow Chilliwackian Connor McLellan, combined to finish fourth overall. Their coach, Chris Bertram was named coach of the year by the Golf Coaches Association of Canada, capping a much-decorated 2014-15 season which also saw him win the coach of the year awards for the PacWest conference and the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association (CCAA). “It seems like the coaching awards follow the success of the team,” Bertram said. “We have a good mix of players, and we have a good thing going in the program. It’s nice, and humbling, to get recognition for that.” It’s the second straight summer that Pauls will represent Canada in international play – in 2014, he took part in the World University Golf Championships in Switzerland. This year’s national team berth is particularly special because Bertram will serve as head coach of the Canadian men’s squad at the Universiade. “It was a pretty unbelievable experience last year (at the World University Championships), because I’d never done anything like that before,” Pauls said. “But
this is kind of special in a different way, given that this was my last event as a Cascade. To be able to have one more tournament with
Chris as head coach is special. This was my goal for the entire semester. “I did what I set out to do at the beginning
of this tournament, so I’m pretty happy about that.” Bertram agreed. “Aaron didn’t have his best stuff today,
but in typical Aaron Pauls fashion, he managed to get it around,” Bertram said. “To come top three and earn a spot on this Universiade
team, it’s just a massive accomplishment. He continues to set the bar for UFV student-athletes, and I know he’ll do a great job in Korea.
I couldn’t be prouder.” The UBC Thunderbirds won their fourth men’s team title. The Victoria Vikes (+35) took second.

Gary David Hilz went to be with the Lord on Thursday, May 28th at Chilliwack General Hospital. Gary will be lovingly remembered by his wife Elaine; his children Amber (Shane) Hipwell, Aaron (Michelle) Hilz, and Amanda (Jason) Pringle; and his grandchildren Chloe, Owen, Evan and Corbin. Also surviving him are his brother Edwin (Dawna) Hilz and sisters Hilda Munton, Elsie Schmidt, Irene (Keith) Murray and Jean (Jim) Warnstaff, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. He is predeceased by his parents Henry and Olga Hilz, and sisters Glenda Kohlsmith and Lita York. Gary was born and raised in Vulcan Alberta. He married Elaine Rose Adolf on July 22, 1972 in Hanna, Alberta and enjoyed 42 wonderful years together. Gary attended Hillcrest Christian College and S.A.I.T in Calgary. He went on to farm in the Champion area. In 1980 a big move to Chilliwack brought a new farming adventure with raspberries. Raspberry farming was family life until he retired in 2000. Church and music was always an important part of Gary’s life from playing bass guitar, leading worship at church and singing in various quartets. Gary was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in February of 2010, which began another journey in his life. Gary’s love for the Lord, his family and his profound faith will always be remembered. He was strong, courageous and a Godly man who left an amazing legacy for his family. Special thanks to Dr. G. Enns, Dr. P. Galbraith, and the staff at CGH and BCCA for the care they provided for Gary and his family. A celebration of Gary’s life will be held at Cross Connection Church, 9310 Williams St. on Thursday, June 4 at 1:00pm with Rev. John Reimer officiating. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Cross Connection Church Haiti Project 2015 or the BC Cancer Agency. Online condolences may be offered at www.woodlawn-mtcheam.ca Woodlawn Mt.
