FVRD looks at organic waste plan

■ C LASS P HOTO

Jessica Peters The Progress Organic waste could eventually be banned from all garbage cans in the Fraser Valley, but new rules wouldn’t be put in place until after a lengthy consultation process.

That process is about to begin, and a full plan could be in place by the end of this year, said FVRD chair Sharon Gaetz.

“We’re really early in the process of exploring organic program for FVRD,” she said. “Over the next few months we’re going to do some pre-consultation work.”

The FVRD isn’t aware of “any other jurisdiction that’s undertaken a pre-consultation process for an organics diversion program,” she added.

Fraser Valley Regional District staffer Stacey Barker presented a brief overview to the board recently to explain the process. Barker said it’s the first step in a large leap toward reducing waste in landfills.

“This is a significant endeavor to accomplish,” Barker said, and for the multi-year plan “this is the first baby step.”

The proposed FVRD Organics Disposal Ban would eventually apply to all households and businesses. The plan is in response to a growing movement toward removing food waste from other waste products.

“It’s the number one comment we’ve received from the public,” she said: “’When are we going to have food waste come out of our garbage?’”

There is no solid timeframe yet, as that will depend on the results of the upcoming consultation process. Gaetz said it’s bound to be a well-received program, based on what the FVRD has heard so far.

Trail work starts in the Eastern Hillsides Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A community forest is being transformed into a wilderness park high above Chilliwack with a vast network of recreational trails.

Trail work on the Community Forest Park Project kicked off last Sunday in the Eastern Hillsides, with Chilliwack Park Society volunteers roughing in the first 400 metres of trails.

Park Society spokesperson Marc Greidanus said the idea behind the project is encouraging

outdoor physical activity.

The trails will be for hiking, running, mountain biking, dog walking and horseback riding, to dovetail with future development eyed for the hillsides.

“It’s exciting to be wandering around the forest and marking future trails,” Greidanus said.

A beginner trail of 2.5 km will be wide and gradual, accessible to all fitness levels. The moderate trail at 7 km will feature slightly steeper grades, and looping options.

“We are a collaborative organi-

zation,” he noted about the newly minted Chilliwack Park Society.

“The overall goal is community involvement and protecting green spaces.”

They made a point of getting all local stakeholders on board, right from the outset.

“The community is really coming together to make this happen,” Greidanus noted. “People bring their own passion, their way of doing things and perspectives to it. It’s also a little overwhelming in that it’s a lot of work, but it’s very exciting.”

It’s gone from casual discussions about trail-building among friends, to building a truly collaborative and inclusive partnership. It’s in the early stages so far with long-term options including multi-use trails, trailhead parking, picnic facilities, scenic views, and interpretive elements.

The Park Society has partnered with City of Chilliwack and FV Mountain Bikers Association, and had discussions with FVRD and Ministry of Forests. Partnerships are also being forged with Cheam Continued: TRAIL/ p10

Lacing up to find a cure for Type 1 diabetes Jessica Peters The Progress Molly Rose and Shaelyn Lightle have a lot in common.

The Chilliwack-raised girls both love sports and are always on the go. They share a love of life that includes laughing and staying healthy. They also both do very well at school, although Molly is a kinesiology student at UFV, and Shaelyn is about to finish Grade 3.

And each one thinks the other is pretty amazing.

But the tie that really binds them is a medical one. Both girls are Type 1 diabetics, dependent on insulin to live. And both girls will be walking in this weekend’s TELUS Walk to Cure Diabetes in Abbotsford.

It’s a cause that Molly’s family took up after she was diagnosed at age 14. It was exactly this time of year, Molly explains, when she began to notice a few changes.

“I was just really thirsty all the time,” she says, and was overly tired. They went to the family doctor, who said her blood sugars were high. They were told they should go to Children’s Hospital soon, but that a pre-planned trip to Tofino could take place first.

They had no idea what life with Type 1 diabetes would be like, and didn’t realize the severity of the situation until the doctors at Children’s Hospital called and urged them to come in. Once they arrived, they were given days of instruction on how to keep Molly alive, including test strips, insulin injections, carb counting and more.

“It takes a long to get to used to

Shaelyn Lightle, 8, and Molly Rose, 20, both have Type 1 diabetes. They are working as a team to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation by taking part in the Walk to Cure Diabetes this weekend. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

it,” Molly says. And while pumps have made administering the hormone insulin into their systems a little easier for Molly and Shaelyn, the new technology is not a cure.

Insulin is just one of the hormones created by your pancreas, and it helps regulate sugar and salt in our bodies. But with Type 1 diabetes, the pancreas stops functioning.

There have been a few giant leaps towards treating diabetes, by

changing the methods of testing blood sugars and injecting insulin.

But they are imperfect systems.

“We were up at 2:30 a.m. the other night,” says Shaelyn’s mom, Cheryl.

Molly’s mom, Anne Russell, gives a nod of solidarity.

There are numerous reasons a child with diabetes could have a nighttime emergency. But this particular one was a cannula situ-

ation. The cannula is very thin and has to sit just under the skin.

It’s connected to a thin tube that leads to the pump, which sits in a pouch around Shaelyn’s waist. The cannula had fallen out of Shaelyn’s arm in the middle of the night and needed to be re-inserted. Because Shaelyn is so tiny, there are few options. The site has to be changed every three days, and they move it from the backs of her arms to the

sides of her thighs in a clockwise manner, every three days. Little spots on her arms mark the last few weeks of use.

Those are the hard days, Cheryl says.

But it’s better than the daily injections. But then there are the finger pokes. Shaelyn has to test every few hours, up to nine pokes a day.

And these are the kind of strides that both mothers, and their daughters, are eager to see more of.

The TELUS Walk to Cure Diabetes raises funds for the JDRF, which aims to cure diabetes, treat people and to prevent Type 1 from occurring in those most susceptible.

In their five years supporting the walk, the Russell-Rose family has raised more than $12,425. This year, they’ve joined forces with the Lightle family. They are getting close to their goal of $2,000 for this year’s walk, but are in the final days of fundraising and the push is on.

Getting involved means finding a better tomorrow for their daughters.

“No one else cares as much about your children’s disease as much as the families of kids with the same disease,” Anne says.

“This is a very family-driven event.”

The 2015 TELUS Walk to Cure Diabetes takes place Sunday, June 14 at Mill Lake Park in Abbotsford.

Registration is at 11:30 a.m. and the 5K walk begins at 2 p.m.

It’s a way to tear down the walls of isolation between aboriginal and non-aboriginal communities.

A Bright New Day Reconciliation Circle will be held June 16-17 at the Squiala Longhouse, aimed at sharing stories and listening to each other.

The Reconciliation Circles started by John McCandless and Chief Robert Joseph in 2009, and McCandless will be facilitating the one in Chilliwack, with several local participants making presentations.

The local event comes on the heels of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission report released last week.

“The timing couldn’t be better,” said McCandless. “It’s amazing.”

So who is the ideal participant for the two-day reconciliation circle?

“I don’t think there is an ideal participant. It’s everyone with an open mind or who is excited about creating a new reality,” said McCandless. “We need to get this idea of reconciliation going.

We need lots of places where we can learn from one another.”

The crux of the matter is addressing the crippling isolation

has characterized the relationship between First Nations and settlers.

It’s about filling that void.

There could be laughter, tears, and even a little remorse.

The circle experience help everyone to see things in a “bright new light,” after doing the work of envisioning a better way forward, through active listening and learning.

“I don’t think we can do that until we’ve heard each others stories. We don’t spend enough time getting to know each other.

There’s a vacuum there. When we do spend the time, it’s delightful.”

The feeling of isolation tends to fall away. There’s “magic” in the process of telling one’s story.

“Maybe ideas that have been taken for granted will be questioned and looked at anew. That’s when we can finally open the doors to the sanctuary of our common humanity.”

The reconciliation circles offer “an unprecedented opportunity” to coax relationships that build stronger, healthier communities, he added.

McCandless has extensive experience with community engagement processes.

Body of missing hiker recovered at Lindeman Lake The 20-year-old man who died while on a hike near Lindeman Lake on the weekend has been identified.

Sukhjeet Saggu of Surrey was on the popular trail near Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park when he became separated from his friends on Friday.

Chilliwack RCMP were called in at around 4:30 p.m. With the help of volunteers from Chilliwack Search and Rescue, an extensive air and ground search was launched.

At around 2 p.m., the young manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body was found at the base of a boulder field along the portion of the trail that continues on the Greendrop Lake.

Although the Lindeman Lake Trail is considered one of the more accessible hikes in the area, the boulder field at the north end of the lake can be challenging.

Some of the rocks are unstable, and there is no clear trail across the field.

News Book give-away supports water safety The Progress The Rotary Club of Chilliwack is spreading an important message about water safety, through a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story book.

Josh The Baby Otter was written by Blake Collingsworth after his son Joshua drowned in the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backyard pool.

The Collingswor ths had installed a fence, kept the pool covered and installed a security camera. Despite those precautions, Joshua still managed to slip away for a few minutes and drown.

Collingsworth wrote the story of Josh The Baby Otter as a way to educate other families on the importance of water safety. It includes a fun colouring book and quiz, and an audio CD that contains a reading of the book and a sing-along song called Learn to Float.

The stor y follows the baby otter and his mom as he learns to float, with her help and with the support of his

friends. The book is filled with safety advice on what to do, and what not to do, when in or near the water.

And the Rotar y Club of Chilliwack has invested $4,000 in the community by purchasing hundreds of copies.

They are giving them away, for free, to families with young children. They are available on a first-come, first-ser ved basis, at both the Chilliwack Progress and The Book Man. In keeping with the Rotaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy of supporting education, many copies are also being given to preschools, StrongStart centres, Family Place, Sardis Door way, and other locations where countless children are bound to enjoy the book and learn to love water safety.

The Rotar y Club members will also be out and about this summer at community events, with books on hand to give away.

Literacy has long been a passion for club members. Their popular book sale is a massive project under-

taken each year, with generous donations of books from the community.

But the sale benefits more than just local readers. Ever y year, thousands of books are chosen to be sent to another charitable organization in the Philippines, at a cost of about $4,000. This year, the shipment wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t possible as the Rotar yâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Philippine counterpar ts were unable to fulfill their end of the agreement.

The Rotar y Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board approved the

money be made available to the Rotar y Literacy Committee for a worthwhile project.

After the committee explored several options, with the help of other local literaryminded organizations, Josh The Baby Otter was selected.

Over the past month, Rotarians and their partners have been coordinating shipment, and the books are now in Chilliwack ready for young readers.

Respect the outdoors

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

The death of a hiker near Lindeman Lake on the weekend marks a tragic start to the summer season in the back country. (See story, page 5.)

It also serves as an important reminder of the dangers that exist on even some of the easier trails, and the care that must always be taken.

Chilliwack has some remarkable terrain. It’s beauty and accessibility makes it a popular playground for much of the Lower Mainland.

But that beauty and scenic serenity can mask its risks.

We see it every year: A refreshing dip in the river that turns deadly; an ATV ride that ends in injury; a walk in the woods that becomes an overnight ordeal.

Every year volunteers from Chilliwack Search and Rescue are called out to help those who have found themselves in trouble. The volunteers respond to some 60 to 70 calls each year, “to help those in need who by misfortune, lack of experience or poor judgment find themselves in trouble.”

But while the risks are real, that doesn’t mean Chilliwack’s great outdoors should be avoided.

It just needs to be respected.

Preparation is key, even for a simple hike.

Dress for the conditions; pack the proper gear (including water in this heat); don’t travel alone; stay on the trail; and, tell people where you are going and when you’ll be back.

Most important: know your abilities and your limitations.

If you are in or around the water, remember a personal floatation device. Streams and rivers are unpredictable, and change from year to year. They are cold and the currents are strong, even for an experienced swimmer. Do not underestimate them.

Chilliwack is on the doorstep of some of the most spectacular rivers and trails in the country.

It’s also home to a dedicated bunch of search and rescue volunteers who are responsible for more than 1,100 square kilometres of challenging terrain.

Let’s try not to keep them any busier than they already are this year. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

R EPORTER ’ S N OTEBOOK

An open letter to my graduate, and to yours Congratulations.

I can truly say I have never been more proud of the person I see before me. While I have your last bit of attention before you head out into the great unknown, I want you to hear what I have to say.

I want you to take this time to slow down for just a moment. Get off the fast-speeding train that’s racing toward tomorrow, and just be here with me, for one more quiet minute.

Take a deep breath.

Then, take a look behind you.

But don’t lose your footing; it’s a long way down to where you started. If you peer off into the distance, you’ll see yourself at age four or five sitting criss-cross applesauce with a book in your lap, fingers tracing along the pat-

terns and trying to decipher their meaning. You’ll see your kindergarten teacher, wearing his standard socks, sandals and shorts.

He’s smiling, he’s encouraging you and suddenly you can read!

You’ll see yourself learning to ride that first bike, or climb a rock wall for JESSICA the first time, or PETERS shred on the guitar. If you can’t quite remember these moments, ask me someday and I’ll tell you all about them. These were the things we taught you when you were little, so you would embrace adventure and learn to the love the world

around you.

The elementary school years flew by us so quickly. But they were the foothold of your education and you should know that your teachers all still remember your name and ask about you.

Now readjust your sight and peer over at those middle school days. Look at all you came through. Remember all the struggles, all the changes. But more than that, remember that you survived all of it. And this serves as proof you can get through anything.

Finally, look at where you’ve been the last three years. High school.

It was surely a blur of classes and teachers, brand new friendships and rekindled old ones,

Progress

parties and punishments. There was love and heartbreak. There were successes and failures.

Moments for tears and times for laughter, and entire days where you didn’t know how you’d get through to tomorrow.

But you’re here. Stand strong.

Enjoy this one moment.

This is you, succeeding beyond even your own expectations. This is you, standing on the bedrock of your life and staring into the wide open future.

There will be more love, more heartbreak. More friends, and friends lost. There will be good times and bad times, and times where you wonder where the time went.

Sometimes that future will look bleak, or scary, or impossible.

Sometimes it will seem that today is just like the next day, and the next day, and the next. But just keep moving forward, and the future will eventually brighten.

And if the future is ever looking discouraging, or the past is trying to pull you back, there is one thing that I ask you to try.

Look to the left, and then to the right. See us here? We are your friends. Your family. Your community. We are right here beside you.

Hold out your hand and grasp ours. We’ll be here. Someone will be there. Always.

Now take the next step.

Go on.

I hear your life calling.

A PRIVATE PRE-PARTY BEFORE CANADA DAY! The Chilliwack

Progress

Salish Park pond needs work The small park behind the Chilliwack Public Library is beautiful; it brings joy to your heart.

Watching the ducks and geese also brings joy to your heart. But then you look at the overwhelming mass of water lilies that cover the pond, and you wonder why the City

has allowed this to happen. The water must be absolutely toxic.

Do some of us wonder what the bottom looks like? Yes, cleaning up the pond and replacing the broken water filter will be expensive. But perhaps there are entities such as the Rotary Club, who would

disrespectful drivers who have no concept of driving except to do whatever they want.

Wells, Evans and Knight Roads have become the new Mission Raceway, with no regard for the fact that these are 50 KPH residential areas. It is quite obvious that fines and points have no impact whatsoever. I think it would be a good idea, if instead of the present penalty system, younger offend-

ers were conscripted into the military for one or two years. Once there, they would be taught the basics of respect and obeying orders which, quite obviously, they were not taught at home or at school. Movies such as the Fast & Furious series, are being fed to the younger generation, who then interpret what they have seen into the culture we see today.

Not all new drivers are bad, but there is

times the record set in 1946 at 9.9mm.

As we expect a hot and dry summer, perhaps with record temperatures, the day-time maximum record to be aware of is 39.4C set in August of 1898, and 35.5 for September of the same year. Even the 38.7C in August of 2012 did not reach this all-time maximum.

an increasing trend in unwarranted single vehicle crashes, where drivers “lose control” of their vehicles, and end up killing/injuring others and then putting pressure on an already overburdened health care system. I would like to hear other suggestions on how to deal with this increasing problem on our roads today.

is not the truth and we often see a planned and organized effort to discredit the NDP with halftruths, outright lies and distortions. Adrian Dix, from the last provincial campaign, can attest to this.

In a recent edition of the Sage, the national magazine sent out to all Federal retirees, they had a lengthy article on the “opposition” to the Harper government. The article focused on the “fact” that the Liberals

were the natural opposition to the Conservatives.

There were several large pictures of Trudeau in this article, with only one tiny picture of Mulcair.

I wrote a letter to the editor to “set them straight.”

My conclusion is to state that it is long overdue that we, as NDP supporters, be much more forceful in our defense of the facts in Canadian politics. We need to stop being so defensive. We need to express our

“pride” in being New Democrats. We need to loudly proclaim that Democratic Socialism is a positive and worthy cause that is a powerful agent for greater democracy in Canada.

As we move towards this important election, please join us in working to electing Seonaigh Macpherson as the first Federal MP for Chilliwack/Hope. You will never regret that choice.

NDP supporters need to speak up The theme is the need for us all to correct occasions when we see media outlets inaccurately depicting false descriptions of the New Democratic Party. To me, this is widespread in Canada and it is meant to make it that much more difficult for the NDP to win power.

“We are also looking for community participation in the creation of the park,” he added.

Volunteers will be facilitating both the construction and maintenance of the trail system. They need more volunteers, donated supplies and funds.

The Community Forest Park project is estimated to cost $102,000 with about half the funding coming from City of Chilliwack.

The basic idea is to build the trail system, connecting Bridal Falls Provincial Park, to the Community Forest, eventually connecting to the Elk-Thurston saddle and Ryder Lake.

It will help encourage people to get out there and actively explore the local mountainsides,

said Greidanus, whose day job is as a local physician at the hospital.

The trails will lead to more physical activity, like the Japanese practice of “shinrin-yoku,” sometimes described as ‘forest bathing’ known to reduce stress and

improve well being.

Build-out estimates could see a population of 6,700 living on the Eastern Hillsides over the coming years, which is part of what’s driving the trail building effort.

“We think the people’s appetite is strong for organic diversion and reclamation,” she said. “We’re really looking forward to and are excited about ramping out a program for our communities.”

Over the next few months, the FVRD will be approaching businesses and community leaders from all around the region.

“Once we have all that information we’ll establish a time 0line where residents and businesses can get involved and share their thoughts,” Gaetz said.

They want to have the full consultation plan ready by the end of this year.

“Sometimes you hear that people feel they are not properly consulted when a new program or initiative is put in place.

We feel the best way to ensure consultation process works for businesses and residents is to ask them for their opinion before the decision is made.”

Barber Park gets an upgrade Barber Park is one of three parks getting a fresh look this year in Chilliwack.

The play structures in the playground at Barber Park were recently replaced and upgraded under the Community Play Structure budget at a cost of about $60,000.

“Barber Park plays a special role in the surrounding community, bringing residents together for Canada Day celebrations, children’s playdates, and much more,” said Mayor Gaetz. “Thanks to valuable feedback from residents, we know this park will continue to meet their unique needs for years to come.”

A crew installs edging around Barber Park and its new playground equipment on Thursday morning. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Barber Park is one of three parks that will be updated this year, and there were three that underwent upgrades in 2014 as well.

City of Chilliwack has an annual program in place to reinstall CSAapproved play equipment in parks where old equipment was pre-

viously removed.

The play structures were upgraded last year in Topley Park, Wells Landing Park and The Landing Park (large slide).

This year equipment will be upgraded in Davies Park, Fiesta Park, and Promontory School for Promontory

several metres by the force of the impact.

After the incident, the vehicle continued west on Hodgins. However, a second witness alerted police to the suspect vehicle which had crashed into a ditch on Wolfe Road. The driver was running into a nearby cornfield.

RCMP of ficers with the support of the Integrated Police Dog Services promptly arrived and took the suspect into custody.

“Of ficers from Fraser Valley Traffic Ser vices, Integrated Crash Reconstruction Section, and the Forensic Investigation Section were engaged during the investigation,” said RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Mike Rail.

A a 20-year-old Chilliwack man was in court Friday facing an array of charges, including failing to remain at the scene of accident, impaired driving causing bodily harm, and operating a motor vehicle while impaired.

“The community, who did not hesitate to get involved, was again the key to police identifying the alleged driver of the red car,” said Cpl. Rail.

Police ask anyone who may have information regarding this collision to contact Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or, should you wish to remain anonymous call Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 (TIPS).

Clay 2015 promises a vibrant show Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Working in clay means lifelong learning.

That’s one of the reasons why local potter Holly McKeen said she is eagerly anticipating Clay 2015, a juried exhibition opening on June 18.

Not only will 30 artists be showing off their best pots, but David Lloyd, a Burnaby-based ceramic artist and educator will be jurying the show and offering valuable feedback.

“Whenever I’m given the opportunity to be critiqued by

someone of David’s calibre, I wouldn’t miss it,” explains McKeen.

“He’s so good and I’m very interested in what he has to say.”

She’s been potting for 12 years and exhibiting worldwide for the past seven years.

Chilliwack is known for its vibrant and active community of potters. Some of the more wellknown artists will be participating in Clay 2015, including Ted Driediger, Deborah Greenfield, Sue Schellenberg, as well as McKeen.

“There’s a cross-section of

artists, and a real variety of work, techniques and styles.”

Clay 2015 will be the next show at the Chilliwack Gallery, located inside the Chilliwack Cultural Centre, and marks the 40th Anniversary Celebration of the Fraser Valley Potters’ Guild Association.

“It’s going to be a beautiful show,” said McKeen.

A range of techniques makes for diverse styles, like raku or wood fire to crystalline glazing, and from functional pieces to more abstract or decorative.

Attendees at the artists’ reception on June 20 can meet

some of the artists, as well as viewing their gallery work, or picking up a mug.

Before the show, everyone will be dropping off their pots to be juried. They will all be set up on tables. Judge Lloyd comes in and selects the ones he likes best, and with the artists back in the room, he makes a detailed presentation of his findings.

“It’s a wonderful critiquing process.”

From amateur potters to professionals, everyone will get to have at least one piece in the show.

There will be awards of merit and the people’s choice award, as well as mugs and other small pieces for sale.

That’s so show visitors can purchase a favourite piece and take it home right away. Many other pieces in the exhibit will also be available for sale, and can be collected at the end of the run, July 19.

Clay 2015, June 18 to July 19, in the Chilliwack Gallery inside the Cultural Centre with Opening Reception and Awards Presentation set for June 20, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. with artists on-hand.

I have lived in Chilliwack for over 45 years, raising a family and watching this city and surrounding areas grow and prosper.

I have a passion for real estate and gained knowledge by building, buying and selling my own homes in this area. I took this passion and knowledge a step further and became a REALTOR® in 2005.

As a REALTOR® I approach clients with an honest, down to earth, trustworthy attitude. This is a major reason why referrals from past clients are the majority of my business! I have also been a President’s Club Award recipient since 2009.

$700,000. Showing a steady increase, there were 12 sales of homes with acreage.

As real estate trending is based on supply and demand, prices have inched up 5.2% this year.

“That’s a healthy rise,” said Mr. Heppner. “We are likely to see continued moderate upward pressure, particularly if inventory remains low. All economic indicators point to BC leading the country in growth in the coming months, so real estate in any form is a sound investment”.

If you would like to take advantage of this peak time for buying or selling, contact any of the 272 experienced REALTORS® of the Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board.

More experience, better results superior service!

It’s more than my mission statement, it’s the foundation I have built my success on for over the last two decades. It’s about obtaining top dollar for client’s homes and doing more to make each transaction smooth and worry-free. That’s why I am continually raising the bar in service by adding new innovative sales tools and customer services like weekly color advertising, unlimited virtual tours and a complimentary moving van.

My commitment is to give you a competitive edge in our marketplace and the extra helping hand to make each move the easiest it can be. The market has changed, experience has never been more important than now.

With over 1200 homes sold and counting, I know what it takes to buy or sell in this market. ...Call me first!

A sunny and hot month of May helped boost an already hot real estate market in Chilliwack and area. A total of 321 homes sold last month, compared to 278 in May of 2014, representing a 17% spike in year-over-year sales.

Despite one of the best times for sales, inventory has not kept pace. There are currently just under 1,500 active home listings on the market, almost 250 fewer than the same time last year.

“Total inventory is down 14%,” said Travis Heppner, Chilliwack and District Real Estate (CADREB) President.

“This is somewhat puzzling, as there is so much demand for housing right now. It’s an excellent time to list, and a good time to buy, as interest rates are still low”.

The total value of homes sold last month exceeded $103 million, representing an infusion of money into the local economy through transaction related services, goods, insurance and home improvements.

Of the 321 sales, the highest number (54) were in the $350,000 - $399,999 range, followed by 45 sales of homes between $400,000 - $499,999. There were 30 sales of homes over the $500,000 mark, including 9 sales over

Scene&Heard UFV Theatre aims for audience engagement University of the Fraser Valley Theatre department will once again challenge and engage audiences as it unveils the 2015/16 Season of Theatre. Two exceptional plays have been chosen to inspire and entertain.

The first show is Argonautika directed by UFV Theatre instructor Colleen Lanki, and runs November 12-29, 2015.

Experience the magic and the power of one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest stories in this stunning stage adaptation of the Voyage of Jason and the Argonauts, and their quest for the Golden Fleece.

Aided by the goddess Athena, Jason and his crew embark on a perilous journey across

unknown seas, encountering giants, dragons and sorcerers in a seemingly impossible search for the elusive Fleece. Only by working together, seeking out allies, and honouring their bonds of loyalty and commitment, are the Argonauts able to face the many challenges that threaten to destroy them. A story of the power of teamwork, perseverance and courage, Argonautika is a thrilling theatrical journey as entertaining as it is enlightening.

Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare is the second show, and runs March 3-20, 2016.

It will be co-directed by UFV Theatre instructors Bruce Kirkley and Raina von Waldenburg

Shipwrecked on the shores of Illyria, the young and resourceful Viola finds herself a stranger in an even stranger land.

Disguising herself as a young man to gain entry into the court of Duke Orsino, Viola soon becomes entangled in a comic web of mistaken identities and misplaced love. Add to the mix the madcap antics of the jovial Toby Belch and his hapless sidekick Andrew Aguecheek as they plot revenge on their nemesis, the pompous stew-

ard Malvolio, and the stage is set for outrageous hilarity and surprising turns of events.

One of Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most celebrated comedies, Twelfth Night reminds us of the intoxicating power of love both to deceive and redeem the human heart.

All productions will be held in the performance theatre on the Chilliwack North campus, at the corner of Yale and Airport roads in Chilliwack.

Carrier Of The Week n a l No

QUESTION:

Why should I replace a tooth that has been removed?

ANSWER: This is a very common question that we are asked when a tooth needs to be taken out.

It is definitely possible to leave the space with no replacement. For some people there will be no major issues aside from a decrease in chewing ability or esthetic concerns, but there are some problems that can also arise over time.

The main issue at play is the natural tendency of teeth to drift towards an open space, particularly forward and outwards. Over time this can lead to a situation in which the teeth no longer line up properly between the upper and lower jaw. Problems with chewing can follow and in some cases even TMJ issues can arise.

9:00 am to 4:00 pm

Also, surrounding and opposing teeth that have tipped and moved can be much harder to keep clean.

Tipping quite often leads to areas of the roots which become exposed. These teeth are at higher risk for cavities and gum disease over time.

When a tooth has been removed, there is a window of time that is ideal if a replacement is planned and waiting too long can make treatment much more complicated. Options such as dental implants, fixed bridges, or removable tooth replacements are all possibilities for replacing missing teeth.

Your dentist is the best person to discuss this with and will be able to advise you as to the pros and cons of different options for your particular circumstance.

Set your own â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;principles of successâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; I thrive on growth, in both my personal life, and as a fitness professional. Nearly everything I learn in my growth as a fitness professional can be applied to any growth or change. Whether growth is as a person, in business or in your heath and fitness journey, the same â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;success principlesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; apply. Today Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to share these success principles with you, and show you how it can be applied to your success in fitness.

1. Personal Responsibility This is a big one. You could blame your genetics, your family, your work, your commute, or your dog for the way you are, but this will accomplish nothing.

Most people have barriers to fitting in exercise and eating right- even the slim and fit people.

Very few are gifted with rapid fast metabolisms allowing them to eat whatever they want. If you want to change, you must take responsibility

Presented by Mt. Cheam Lions Club

I suspect that most of us feel that June wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be June without Strawberries! Mt Cheam Lions Strawberry Social was a great success! In spite of the heat we had a great turn out and raised more than we had anticipated for the Cyrus Centre here in Chilliwack. We thank everyone who came out and supported this project; we know that there were quite a number of other events happening on that day.

Our Lions year winds up at the end of June and transitions into the next term with our International Convention held somewhere in the world. This year we are in Honolulu, next year we are off to Japan.

The executive of the Mt Cheam Lions will hand over the gavel etc to next years executive at our June 23rd meeting. We have had a terriĂ&#x20AC;c year and are one of the fastest growing Lions Clubs in the area.

Our next major event will be our Model Train & Hobby show on October 17th and 18th at Heritage Park. We have quite a line-up of exhibitors already so this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show should be another interesting one for all ages.

The June 20-21 weekend is another busy Lions weekend here in Chilliwack. On Saturday the Dogwood Monarch Lions have their annual Tap-in tournament (contact Sherry 604-316-1314).

On Sunday the Stellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jay Lions have their annual Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day pancake breakfast on June 21st at the Mt Cheam Lions Hall, 45580 Spadina Ave Chilliwack, breakfast starts at 8am, by donation. Our Ă&#x20AC;nal spaghetti dinner will be held on June 26th in our hall starting at 430, there will have bar service available as well.

On behalf of the Mt Cheam Lions we thank everyone who has come out and supported our various projects over the past year, we really could not do the things we do without the support of the community.

Remember where there is a need there is a Lion. If you wish any further information on the Mt Cheam Lions Club or any of the above, give me a call. I am Allan Hunt, a Club News brought to you by: member of the Mt Cheam Lions Club.

the belief that something will not work for them because their body, or circumstance is different.

Sometimes this belief system is affirmed by years of yo-yo dieting and the weight loss/ weight gain cycle. Sure, a 20 year old male looking to increase muscle mass will need a slightly different program than a 45 year old woman wanting to lose 10 pounds, or a 95 year old man wanting to maintain his mobility, but the same principles apply.

Everybody needs to do resistance training, mobility training, and some sort of workout that elevates heart rate.

Everybody needs to have variety in their program to keep progressing and to prevent boredom.

Everybody needs to follow basic principles of nutrition to get results.

Everybody needs to progress their workouts to keep getting results.

Everybody needs a support system to achieve long-term success.

of you. Every possible problem or barrier has a solution- you decide if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to find that solution.

2. Have courage to step outside your comfort zone If you want to change, you need to do something different than what you are doing right Tanja now, and SHAW sometimes that can be scary.

Sometimes that can mean getting out and starting an exercise program for the first time since you were in college. It might mean taking the first step and calling a fitness coach to get help. If you are comfortable, you are no longer progressing.

3. Your body is not different.

4. Know what you want.

Set a goal. Usually the motivation for behaviour change starts as a resultbased goal, such as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I want to lose 10 poundsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

While these result- goals are what motivate you at the beginning, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the action-based goals that will get you there.

There are a few reasons why you should focus on action goals versus result goals.

Action-goals allow you to be 100% in control your success. With a goal such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will lose 10 pounds by Oct. 1,â&#x20AC;? your result is largely out of your control. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know exactly how your body will respond to an exercise or eating plan.

Perhaps you do all the right things, but you only lose three pounds.

Because you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reach your goal, you may be discouraged and give up, despite making many healthy choices and making progress. In contrast, an action focus, such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will go for a walk after supper three evenings a weekâ&#x20AC;? allows you to experience success regardless of the number on the scale or the tape measure.

5. Know why you want what you want.

Why do you want to workout? Why do you want to lose weight?

Dennis Waitley wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the why is strong enough, the how is not a problem.â&#x20AC;? Write down a list of 10-20 reasons why you want to achieve your goal. How will you feel when you get there?

How do you feel now?

Try to evoke emotion.

The more powerful your reasons are, the easier it will be to find solutions to problems and barriers and to stay motivated.

Commit to reading your list at least twice a day to keep yourself on track.

6. Hold yourself accountable.

Hold yourself accountable to your goals. For some people, simply writing it down is enough. For people need an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;accountabilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; coach or support system.

This may be a friend, Facebook group, or fitness coach.

Among BC’s best Chilliwack middle school’s Jasmine Soltys was the golden girl at last week’s BC High School Track and Field Championships.

The Chilliwack middle school student was an underdog coming into her event, the Grade 8 girls’ 500 gram javelin.

Ranked sixth out of 27, she stepped up and unleashed a throw of 31.96 metres — a new personal best that was nearly three metres farther than the runner up, MEI middle school’s Kyla Smith.

Provincials were held at McLeod Athletic Park in Langley, and Soltys was one of several Chilliwackians in the mix.

The following are top five finishers; Chilliwack secondar y school’s Tasha Willing found the podium with a gold medal performance in the senior womens’ four kilogram shot-put.

Willing’s throw of 11.48m topped second place Kaila Butler (Terry Fox) by the narrowest of margins, with Butler recording 11.44m.

Willing medaled again in the one kg discus with a throw of 36.52m, and narrowly missed a medal in the four kg hammer-throw, finishing fourth at 47.73m.

Unity Christian’s Will Craig

grabbed gold in the Grade 8 boys’ four kg shot-put, heaving the ball 11.92m.

UC’s Grade 8 girls’ 4x400m relay team (Christina and Diana Malou, Kirsten Kampman and Melissa Dieleman) turned in a bronze medal performance.

Chilliwack middle school’s Rowan Hamilton scored a silver medal in the junior mens’ five kg hammer-throw.

He just missed in the 1.5 kg discus, finishing fourth in that event.

He was fifth in the five kg shot-put.

Vedder middle school’s Zain Rehmtulla bagged bronze in the Grade 8 boys’ 3000m run, clocking in at 10:08.90.

Morgan Miller of CSS finished fifth in the junior womens’ one kg discus.

CSS student Kalyn Head put her best foot forward in the senior womens’ 1500m racewalk, finishing fifth in 9:27.69.

Sardis secondary’s Kristian Biela qualified for the final in the senior mens’ 400m hurdles where he finished fifth in 1:00.43.

Vedder middle school’s Diego Eraso finished fifth in the Grade 8 boys’ 400m dash.

Thiessen takes title at junior tourney Mitchell Thiessen eagled the 15th hole Sunday to take the juvenile boys’ title at the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour Ford Series tournament.

Two rounds were played June 6-7 at the Swan-e-Set course in Pitt Meadows.

Thiessen tackled the 6660 yard par-72 setup aggressively, carding rounds of 79 and 75.

The eagle and two birdies in the second round left him two shots clear of second place Tanvir Kahlon of Surrey.

Mitchell credited his win to his chipping, saying his ability to land his shots close enough to oneputt was the key to his success.

“It feels amazing to win, and come up clutch in the end,” he said.

The non-profit Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour is the only national junior tour run exclusively by PGA of Canada Professionals and the ‘Road to College Golf’ in Canada.

The MJT hosts more than 70 events across Canada, including free Ford Go Golf Junior Clinics, the MJT Mini Tour for 7-12 year olds, and multi-day events for competitive players which also qualify juniors for international competitions.

See maplejt.com for more info.

Flag footballers pursue provincial crown

After a successful 2015 season, Chilliwack’s flag football ‘Team Parks’ traveled to Kelowna last weekend for provincials.

Seeded 10th in the field, the Chilliwackians

went 2-1-1 in the roundrobin with a plus-21 points for/against ratio.

A 30-0 win over Richmond got them into the Sweet 16 where they fell 6-0 in heartbreaking fashion to Coquitlam — their opponents got the winning points in the game’s final minute.

Chilliwack bounced back to beat North Surrey 37-6 in their final game.

The team MVP award went to running back Carter Dallas, an offensive leader along with quarterback Christian Beck, receiver Aiden Hewitt and six year old Rylan Parks.

Gavin Parks, Cameron Head, Lucas Pollard, Owen Vanderhoek and Pierson Capstick were defensive standouts.

BCHL recognizes referees

DAVE LEE MEMORIAL GOLF TOURNAMENT Saturday, June 20th 12:00 pm - Registration 1:00 pm - Shot Gun Start

Cynthia & Nicholas have spent thousands of dollars on different fertility medications.

Cynthia even underwent a laparoscopic surgery to try to help her conceive a child.

Please make their dream of becoming parents come true.

BCHL officiating director Derek Adams has completed his review of the 2014-15 season and announced the winners of the officiating awards.

The Kelly Sutherland Award winner for top referee is Mark Pearce from North Vancouver.

In his fifth year of officiating in the BCHL, Pearce earned a top assignment by refereeing the deciding sixth game of the Fred Page Cup final. Pearce went on to represent the league at the Western Canada Cup in Fort McMurray, AB. working the championship game.

The Brad Lazarowich Award winner for 2014-15 is Tim Plamondon who, at the age of 18, worked the Fred Page Cup final in only his second year officiating in the BCHL. Plamondon officiated more than 100 games from the minor hockey level to junior A, and Adams said it was his work ethic and maturity on the ice as a young linesman that earned him the award.

Clapp finds form in Victoria

Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brad Clapp had a much, much, much better second outing on the PGA

Tour Canada.

After missing the cut in the season opening PC Financial Open (May 28-31), the Chilliwack Golf Club instructor rebounded to finish 15th at the Bayview Place Island Savings Open.

The tournament was played Thursday through Sunday at the Uplands Golf Club in Victoria.

Clapp flirted with the cut-line, which was set at one-under-par.

He started strong with a two-under-par 68

in round one.

But an even-par 70 in round two put him through to round three by the slimmest of margins.

With the pressure off, Clapp dialed in over the last two days.

A three-under-par 67 on Saturday had Clapp just six shots off the torrid pace set by eventual tourney winner Albin Choi.

Clapp played a steady fourth round, carding a 68 that included birdies on the third, seventh and 12th holes.

T h r e e Chilliwackians competed at the 2015 Canadian Gymnastics Championships, held last weekend in Gatineau, QC. Zachar y Clay, Brienna Gaspar and Marquita Morrison made the trip representing Team BC and Abbotsfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Twisters Gymnastics Club.

Morrison earned bronze as part of Team BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s womensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; open division crew.

Clay tackled the senior mensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; division, finishing fifth on the pommel horse.

Gaspar competed in the womensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; national novice group.

The field is normally limited to golfers 15 and under, but this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tourney will allow 16 year olds. Golfers must be 16 or under at the time of the tournament and able to score 100 or better on a par three course. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are some great young golfers in our tournament â&#x20AC;&#x201D; some who are shooting below par but also some who are scoring close to that 100 mark,â&#x20AC;?

Standeven said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We place them with their age group and peers so everyone has fun. And

having net prizes means that even those kids who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have their best day potentially win a prize.â&#x20AC;?

The youngest player to ever win was eight year old Eugene Wong, who is now a familiar name on the junior tours.

In all the years, only one girl, Samantha Kirk, has ever won the championship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would really encourage young female golfers to sign up for this tournament,â&#x20AC;?

Standeven noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Golf is not just a sport for boys, and we would love to have more girls join in the fun!â&#x20AC;?

Registration on June 29 starts at 11 a.m. and golfers start swinging at noon.

The $15 is payable on the day of the event and gets golfers a pop and a snack.

There are net and gross prizes in every age category: nine and under, 10-12 and 13-16.

Tournament rules are in effect, with no caddies allowed except in the nine and under division.

To pre-register, call or visit each of the golf courses, contact Standeven by email at gstandev@shaw.ca or phone her at 604-7926638.

Bernard Joan Margaret

(nee: Burbidge) Joan was born Jan. 1920 in Hampton Wick, near London, England, and died June 2015 in the Bradley Centre, Chilliwack, B.C., in Canada which she had grown to love so much.

Joanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life journey was exciting, courageous, and was marked by many happy, rewarding times of family strengths, energetic sharing and creativity. During the challenging times, when lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals needed to be re-set, she showed tenacity, generosity and a sense of humour. As a young English war bride she journeyed across a turbulent, dangerous Atlantic and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;hugeâ&#x20AC;? Canada to Chilliwack, later moving only as far as Rosedale, where she and John gardened and took part in the community life of neighbourhood, school and church for many years.

Latterly Joan lived her days in Chilliwack with family and friends nearby. She enjoyed travel and community involvement in AA, the Heritage Singers and other organizations.

Joan was vivacious, spirited and generous, and she will be missed.

Joan is survived by three grown children, five grandchildren, and six great grandchildren, and also special remaining friends.

Special thank you to all the staff at the Bradley Centre for their loving, attentive care.

Joan was happy there. Joan will be interred beside her beloved John, who died in 1978.

There will be a private family graveside observance.

POLOWY, Laverne Joseph May 19, 1928 - June 1, 2015 It is with deep sadness and fond memories that we announce the death of Laverne at the age of 87. He was born in Mundare, Alberta, and was the oldest of six children born to Joseph Polowy and Laura Ahrendt. The family moved to Vancouver in 1942 where Laverne worked at Hammond Furniture, Collierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Motors, eventually retiring from Wolfe Chevrolet. He married Agnes (nee Eluk) in 1949 and they were longtime residents of Burnaby, moving to Chilliwack upon retirement. He enjoyed square dancing, golf, gardening, and RVing, spending the winter months in Arizona.

Laverne was a loyal, honest, hardworking man whose family meant everything to him.

He was predeceased by his wife Agnes, brother Gordon and brothers-in-law Ray Aney, and Lyle Homey.

He will be missed and lovingly remembered by sisters Winnifred Homey, Marilyn Langlois, Joanne Aney, brother Ken Polowy (Barbara), sistersin-law Pat Polowy, Joan Elun, many nephews and nieces, friends and family.

Respecting his wishes of no service, the family will have a private gathering.

Bakx Maria Johanna

Nov. 21, 1928 - June 4, 2015 Maria (Ria) passed away peacefully with her family at her side at the Waverly Care facility where she had received loving care from the staff during the 5 years she lived there.

Born in Steenbergen, Holland, Mom came to Canada in 1953 as a new bride joining her husband Leo on a lifetime adventure, first living in Okanagan Falls and Kitimat, before settling down in Chilliwack to start dairy farming.

Like many young women of her generation Mom was a hard worker.

She not only had the task of running a household and raising her children, she was dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s partner in every sense of the word helping in the barn, and in the field.

When she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working she loved playing cards or games, spending time in her garden, reading or watching sports.

After Dad passed away, Mom moved from the farm to a condo in Chilliwack and enjoyed exploring the shops, the library and meeting new people. After a serious fall in 2010, Mom moved to the Waverly where she formed new friendships and was loved and cared for by the staff.

Predeceased by her husband Leo, her daughter Jackie and her grand-daughter Jenny, Mom will be missed by her children Leanna (Rob) Peters, Clif (Rose), Sandra Craig and Steve (Lisa), 11 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren.

Memorial service to be held at St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church on June 16 at 11:00 a.m., with reception to follow.

O SON OF SPIRIT! I created the rich, why does thou bring thyself down to poverty? Noble I made thee, wherewith dost thou abase thyself? Out of the essence of knowledge I gave thee being, why seekest thou enlightenment from anyone beside Me? Out of the clay of love I molded thee, how dost thou busy thyself with another? Turn thy sight unto thyself, that thou mayest find Me standing within thee, mighty, powerful and self-subsisting.
