Asbestos dumped in the CRV

■ O N T HE M ARCH

Jessica Peters The Progress If illegal dumpers go into the woods today, they could be in for a big surprise. Residents of the Chilliwack River Valley have stepped up their practice of observing and reporting suspicious behavior after another troubling find in the rural area. Over the weekend members of the area’s Citizens on Patrol discovered about one dozen bags of asbestos just off the edge of Chilliwack Lake Road, near the Ford Mountain Prison site. A resident alerted the F’VRD’s area director, Orion Engar, over the weekend. He phoned it into the Conservation Hotline on Monday morning, who sent out an officer to confirm the large bags marked as carrying asbestos did contain the hazardous materials. The asbestos was professionally bagged in the proper thick, plastic sealed bags. Asbestos is found in many buildings, as it was used in the past in insulation. It’s believed it’s not harmful until it’s disturbed. As a hazardous material, asbestos removal and disposal is highly regulated. Asbestos is not accepted at the Chilliwack landfill, but it is accepted at the Vancouver landfill. The fees to dump a small load (under one tonne) vary but is under $200, according to the Metro Vancouver website. Continued: PATROLS/ p6

Bags of discarded asbestos lie scattered just off Chilliwack Ladk Road.

Support for farming is lacking, committee hears Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A lot more support for farming should be forthcoming from government in an agricultural community like Chilliwack. That was the suggestion from some presenters when the Opposition Standing Committee for Agriculture and Food in Chilliwack came to town this week. In fact “government inaction” is harming B.C. agriculture, according to a release by the committee. “Farmers, food producers,

“We’re looking at an exceptionally hot and dry summer,” said Austin. “With drought conditions in the United States, we can’t expect them to carry on as the traditional source of produce they’ve been in the past. We need to be proactive about managing our water and protecting B.C. agriculture.” Many British Columbian take water issues for granted, acting as if the normally rainy province is free of water problems. “That’s a myth.” As summers get hotter and Continued: CLIMATE/ p4

support to farmers of almost all the provinces. “It ironic really,” said committee member Robin Austin. “In B.C. we have the best land with the richest soil and the longest growing season, but with the least government support.” It’s one thing to support protection of farm land, while it’s another to actually support farmers who are actively farming. Several young farmers criticized the barriers facing newcomers, like getting access to land. Climate issues were also front and centre.

Someone familiar with the inner working of the ag industry sat in the back and watched the proceedings. When it was his turn to make a presentation, he noted that B.C. offers the least

Blown engine forces Super Dave emergency landing Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Air show pilot Super Dave Mathieson thought he was a goner last Sunday. He was flying the MX-2 after lunch when the custom-built engine malfunctioned. The aircraft started shaking violently and smoke was pouring out of the back of it. “I thought that was it,” he told The Progress. The motor “grenaded” at the end of a tricky manoeuvre he was working on, meaning it blew up from the inside after letting out a loud bang. He was about eight kilometres away from the nearest runway when his aircraft lost oil pressure suddenly, and started “sounding like an old Model T Ford,” he told The Progress. “It was brutal. It would have been a mess.” Due to complaints, Mathieson was prohibited earlier this year by Transport Canada from practising his signature torque rolls and dives that he does under 2000 feet. So he was doing his routines over

private land near the Vedder Canal in order to rehearse for upcoming air shows. The high-performance engine was knocking and billowing smoke as he turned around and pointed the nose back in the direction of the airport. He had to land right away, Mathieson added, but the highway was too busy.

Whereas a Cessna or other standard plane lands at about 40 miles an hour, he lands three times faster, at about 120 miles an hour. “I knew if I touched down in a field at this speed, I would have rolled into a ball.” He did manage to land on the runway at the Chilliwack Airport and taxied in. He called the mechanics and was

told out nothing could be salvaged of the engine, a 580 Thunderbolt, with 400 horsepower. On Thursday morning he was still waiting for a replacement engine to be delivered.

Heritage tour launched for downtown Chilliwack Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Volunteers with Heritage Chilliwack Society will be leading tours of downtown Chilliwack this summer, with fun facts at the ready. Members of the Heritage Chilliwack Society have mapped out a route for a heritage walking tour, designed as a self-guided walk through the downtown core that will take about half an hour. They’re launching the whole shebang at the first Party in the Park on July 17, as well as doing a trial run this weekend, starting from Central Community Park at 11 a.m. on Sunday, June 21. “Volunteers from Heritage Chilliwack Society have been working a downtown heritage walking tour, for months, completing many hours of research and discovering a wealth of fun facts to add interest to the historical information,” said Laura Reid, a director with the heritage society. Volunteers will be leading tours on all four Friday nights in July and August (July 17 & 24 and August 14 & 21). “We’re so excited about this project,” said Reid. They’re keeping the walk short to keep things interest-

Flight Operating Certificate, a SFOC, was not in the “public’s best interest.” They made the formal decision early in the year, and told Super Dave reps that it wasn’t about noise or safety issues after all, but about the complaints. “I think the people who signed those complaint letters should be ashamed,” he said. He is now hoping that fans will continue to write support letters, and that the decision will be revisisted. “I was told to get the community behind me, but I already did that,” he said. “So I guess we need more letters.” Team Super Dave is planning to meet with Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl on June 28 to plead his case. He is preparing pre-stamped envelopes addressed to the Transportation Minister at Transport Canada, which he will make available by handing them out at the upcoming Flight Fest air show in Chilliwack. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

ing. Here’s an example of the “fun facts” about downtown that they’ve unearthed. One of the stops on the tour is the former firehall on Young Road, which now houses the offices of CHP architects. “When the firehall first opened in 1949, it was considered the most modern firehall of its size in B.C.,” said Reid.

Starting at Central Community Park, the tour route will take participants to Five Corners, a hub of local history, down Wellington Avenue, with several stopping points along the way, to the old Library and Courthouse buildings (at the corner of College and Wellington) past Henderson’s Funeral Home; before returning to the park.

The Fraser Valley Regional District needs to better ensure that the taxpayers’ dollars it gives to non-profits organizations are spent appropriately, according to an audit of the district’s finances. The district – which spans an area from Abbotsford to Boston Bar –collects taxes to be used for regional purposes. It also governs unincorporated areas outside city boundaries, paying for amenities and infrastructure, and awarding grants from a special budget. In its latest audit, KPMG noted that the FVRD, which has a $16-million total budget, enters into contracts with and provides grants to non-profit societies and associations, school parent advisory committees, and individuals who provide services for specific purposes. Some grants are small, like $500 granted to the Deroche Farmer’s Market during the same meeting at which the audit was presented to the FVRD’s directors. Others are much larger, though, and the auditors said the district’s current policies and agreements don’t include a formal requirement for those who receive funds to report back to the district on the use of the money. “In addition,” KPMG wrote, “the agreements do not require audited or review engagement level financial statements be prepared. The lack of a reporting mechanism back to the FVRD does not allow for management to ensure the appropriate use of taxpayers dollars.” KPMG said the FVRD should change its policy Continued: AUDIT/ p5

More than 60,000 hectares have burned so far, most of that from 150 fires in the Prince George fire centre region. Two new fires were reported on southeasterm Vancouver Island and a third at Nimpkish Lake on northern Vancouver Island this week. By Wednesday there were 14 new and active fires in the Kootenay and Okanagan regions. Environment Canada forecast a 60 per cent chance of rain by Friday in the Kamloops and Prince George areas, with continued dry weather expected through the weekend in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island. Chilliwack set new high temperature records at the beginning of this week, and drier than normal conditions have prevailed

Another presenter described last year’s decision to separate the ALR into two zones as a “crack in the armour.” Other topics included small business tax credits for agriculture, herdshare programs, the need for a long-term provincial agri-food strategy, as well as the erosion of a post-secondary agriculture program in B.C.

Yoga and Sto:lo teachings at Bridal Falls Sunday There is no need to feel torn this weekend. Chilliwack residents don’t have to choose between National Aboriginal Day and International Day of Yoga on June 21. They can celebrate both. Watershed Watch Salmon Society is joining WaterWealth Project and Cheam First Nation to host a special event at Bridal Falls on Sunday. Described as ‘My Watershed Moment,’ the event will see a yoga session together with some traditional indigenous knowledge shared beside a waterfall. Cheam members Carrielynn Victor and Ernie Victor will be kicking off the day with traditional Sto:lo teachings about summer solstice and a cleansing ceremony. Lina Azeez of Watershed Watch Salmon Society will discuss nature therapy, the interconnections between healthy watersheds and healthy humans. Lara von Waldenburg and Jenn Werner from Inner Vision Yoga in Chilliwack will lead the 60-minute hatha yoga class building on the principles of nature therapy to inspire positive action. The event will be at Bridal Veil Creek, in Bridal Veil Provincial Park, on Sunday, June 21, from 9 a.m. to noon. Event details: https://www.facebook.com/ events/111221645877028/

B.C. adding to aboriginal education Tom Fletcher Black Press When the city of Prince George was being established a century ago, the aboriginal people on the site of the present downtown area were relocated to a new reserve and their homes were burned. That’s a part of B.C. history that many people in Prince George and around the province don’t know, and an example of why changes are coming to B.C. school curriculum, says Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad. More changes will be announced soon for post-secondary education, based on the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. The B.C. government is providing $4.3 million to establish an emergency financial assistance for aboriginal students and $12 million for a scholarship program. “There have been attempts over the years to include more

information around First Nations and our aboriginal history, but this is going quite a bit further and trying to tell a more complete history of us as Canadians, all Canadians,” Rustad said. National Aboriginal Day is Sunday, June 21. Rustad will be in Prince George at a ceremony to rename Fort George Park to

recognize the original inhabitants, the Lheidli T’enneh First Nation. A Lheidli T’enneh flag will be raised at city hall where it will be permanently flown. National Aboriginal Day events are planned around the province, including a three-day cultural festival at the Royal B.C. Museum in Victoria with dance, arts and crafts and traditional foods. The past year has been pivotal for aboriginal relations in B.C., with the Supreme Court of Canada’s landmark decision recognizing aboriginal title to traditional territory of the Tsilhqot’in Nation near Williams Lake. The province is working on a protocol to manage access by non-aboriginal people to the Nemiah Valley, where provincial jurisdiction no longer applies. While progress in treaty negotiations has been slow, the B.C. government continues to reach resource revenue sharing agreements with First Nations around the province, covering forestry, mining and oil and gas projects.

security. A description had previously been circulated after the trio were seen at other sites, including B.C. Cancer Agency facilities, wearing hospital scrubs and stolen ID to blend in with staff. That tactic isn’t entirely unusual, according to John Acorn, director of operations for the Lower Mainland health authorities’ Integrated

Protection Services. “I’ve seen individuals trying to blend in,” he said. “What makes this one a little bit more unique is we were able to confirm multiple people working in concert. “Rarely have we seen this kind of organized or targeted theft in our environment.” Typically, Acorn said, thefts from hospital are relatively uncommon and, when

they happen, tend to be crimes of opportunity involving small, easily concealed items, such as wallets, small electronics and jewelry. He credited staff for spotting the intruders and reminded patients and visitors not to bring valuables to the hospital and to report any suspicious behaviour. The main suspect had 52 outstanding offences, including a Canada-wide warrant, while the other two are known to police.

Make distracted drivers pay

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

Anyone who drives has seen it. You’re heading down the Trans-Canada Highway and the car in front of you is drifting right, then jerks back into its lane. Or, you’re sitting at a stoplight and it turns green, but the vehicle at the head of the line doesn’t go, prompting a honk from someone behind them. Chances are good that, in both these scenarios, the driver of that vehicle is using their phone to check their Facebook newsfeed, or possibly send a text message, according to recently released statistics on distracted driving in B.C. Five years after fines were introduced to help combat the scourge that is distracted driving, specifically targeting those who can’t stay off their electronic devices, some people still haven’t gotten the message. ICBC estimates that, at any given time, 9,500 drivers in the province are using a handheld device. A total of 55,100 tickets were issued last year to drivers caught using an electronic device – an increase of about four per cent. This despite crashes, and deaths, being on the rise due to distracted driving. According to ICBC, distraction actually took over the top spot in “top contributing factor in fatal crashes” back in 2013. An average of 88 people are killed in our province each year due to distracted drivers. It’s time to do something about this. If the fact that distracted driving is killing people and causing destruction isn’t enough of a deterrent, it’s time to raise the penalties given out when we’re caught doing it. That said, B.C.’s distracted driving fines are the second lowest in Canada. When the penalties went up for driving while intoxicated, the number of offences went down. Would the same happen if we increased the penalties for distracted driving? We can’t say for sure. History has shown us, however, that sometimes we need to force people into making better decisions by hitting them in the wallet, before their bad decisions kill someone. If the current fine structure isn’t doing it, raise it. These numbers need to come down. ~ Black Press

Federal health minister needs to do her research Health Minister Rona Ambrose needs to chill out. Her ranting last week against the Supreme Court of Canada was uncalled for. All the justices agreed that it is unconstitutional to forbid licensed medical marijuana users from possessing pot-laced products better suited to their health needs such as cannabis-infused brownies, cookies, cakes, tea, butter, tinctures, oils, salves, gel capsules, body creams, or chocolate bars. Right now, the law only allows possession of dried marijuana which can only be smoked. “The restriction to dried marijuana in the MMARs (Marijuana Medical Access Regulations) breaches the s. 7 rights of individuals who have been issued an Authorization to Possess (ATP) marijuana under the Regulations but require other forms of cannabis to treat symptoms of serious illness,” wrote the justices in a unanimous ruling. “The provision

is arbitrary and cannot be justified in a free and democratic society.” It started when Owen Smith was arrested in 2009 for possession of cannabis-infused products. He was employed by the Victoria-based Cannabis Buyers Club of Canada to make a variety of products for their ATP members suffering from severe or persistent Margaret symptoms associated with cancer, EVANS MS, epilepsy, spinal cord injury or disease, severe arthritis or HIV/AIDS. For many patients, consuming these products in edible form provides far greater pain relief than smoking a joint or taking conventional prescription painkillers. Smith was acquitted at trial. The B.C. Appeal Court also ruled in his favour. So the feds appealed again

and took the case to the top court. That resulted in the Supreme Court of Canada’s 7-0 ruling last Thursday in favour of Smith which triggered Ambrose’s howling rage. “I am outraged by the message judges are sending that they think they can approve a drug into a medicine without clear clinical scientific evidence and without safety reviews,” she said. “Marijuana has never gone through the regulatory approval process at Health Canada, which requires rigorous safety reviews and clinical trials with scientific evidence. I’m outraged by the Supreme Court.” Really? So why hasn’t Health Canada actually done scientific studies, clinical trials, and safety reviews? Because the federal government doesn’t want scientific fact put in front of biased policy decisions. Yet there’s plenty of science out there. Scientists at the New York University Langone

Comprehensive Epilepsy Center released a study showing that a medical liquid form of marijuana offers promise as a treatment for children with severe epilepsy who are not responding to other treatments. A U.S. nationwide study published in the journal The Lancet Psychiatry analyzed 24 years of data from over one million adolescents in 48 states and found no evidence that legalizing the use of marijuana for medical purposes leads to increased use among teenagers. UBC researchers began a national study last year to follow 300 patients and measure the effect on patient access and health outcomes of proposed changes to Canada’s medical cannabis regulation ending homegrown marijuana and creating a national marketplace. Scientists at the University of Buffalo’s Research Institute on

Addictions are studying chronic stress and depression with a focus on endocannabinoids, brain chemicals similar to substances in marijuana. Clinical research in New Mexico supports outcomes that show smoking marijuana is associated with reducing PTSD symptoms in some patients. The study was published in the Journal of Psychoactive Drugs. At the University of California’s Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research 13 studies on cannabis therapy have been completed and five new trials are underway to assess the effectiveness of cannabis and cannabis compounds. If Health Minister Ambrose genuinely wanted clinical scientific evidence and safety reviews to assess medical marijuana products under Health Canada, she could get it. But we all know where the waron-drugs policy sits in the Harper government.

FVX only the beginning It is good to hear that the Fraser Valley Express is experiencing an increase in ridership (The Progress, June 12th). However, in order to enhance our quality of life and protect the environment, we need to see the FVX as a stepping stone to a less automobile-oriented region. This would require significant political will, but would bring large economic, environmental and social benefits. Furthermore, these enhancements could be funded by scrapping unnecessary and ultimately futile highway projects. One such futile project is the provincial government’s proposal to add a travel lane on Highway 1 between Abbotsford and

Langley. Unfortunately, building new lanes does not solve congestion. New cars and journeys will emerge, making the road as clogged as ever. What does work is a strong transit system that takes car journeys off the road. Transit moves a lot more people per lane. For instance, double-deck express coaches can move over 60,000 people an hour per lane, compared to 2,000 for cars. Rather than expanding the freeway, we should invest in a busway as Seattle and many other cities have done, providing reliable and efficient service. In the meantime, regional officials should make the FVX more convenient by extend-

ing it to SkyTrain. Right now it is quite complicated and time-consuming (nearly three hours) to get from Downtown Vancouver to Chilliwack by transit. Additionally, in the medium-term, the FVX should have more comfortable seating (as Translink suburban coaches do) and hopefully WiFi, to allow people to better use their travel time. BC transit and the FVRD deserve credit for creating the FVX. However, the FVX should only be the beginning. The Fraser Valley needs to look beyond its automobile-oriented past towards a sustainable transportation future. Thomas Cheney

Canada needs to help itself As I watched the news this evening I was not surprised to see Bono from the rock band U2 in the limelight. The reason he was I found to be quite disturbing. He wants Canada to pay more in world aid. How nice for him. Does Mr. Bono realize that Canada has told its aging population that they now have to wait until the age of 67 to get old age security? Does Mr. Bono not realize that police and fire and ambulance services are weak and our hospitals have

ridiculous wait times for ever ything from surgery to MRI to CT scans etc., etc., etc.? Does Mr. Bono not realize that our mail ser vice has been stripped down to nothing better than a joke? Does Mr. Bono not realize we have almost more people not working than we do working? Does he not realize that Canadians pay almost more than half of what they earn in taxes? Just where does he expect this money to come from? All Canada

needs is a big natural disaster to pull the proverbial plug on its weak economy and we’ll all be standing in lines waiting for the third world aid, but from whom, Mr. Bono? We are an over regulated over taxed country, perhaps if we ever grow a pair and ditch the Senate and fire the sorry lot of the people that steal our money and use it for their own gain. If a police officer is caught breaking the law, he or she will probably loose their pension. But on the other hand, we have MLAs

and Senators that do it and get a golden handshake . How about the men and women that serve this country in the armed forces and get a royal runaround to get the support they deserve? This country needs to help itself before handing billions of our hard-earned money to Third World aid. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Mr. Bono. Get back on your private jet and go home!

Don’t let it happen to you When it comes to accidents, it’s common to think, oh, it will never happen to us. That is what we thought until our sixyear-old son, Roan, a member of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program, lost his leg in a lawn mower accident. A few years ago, Roan was riding on a lawn mower with an adult when he fell off and severed his left leg at the knee. As he was airlifted by helicopter

to the hospital, we wondered if we were going to see him again. With lawn cutting season here, we want to help spread Roan’s message across the country that kids should never be around a lawn mower. It doesn’t matter how good you are with machinery, it just takes a moment for a life-changing accident to happen. Today, Roan is an active and energetic child thanks to help from The War

Amps with financial assistance for artificial limbs, regional seminars and peer support. We just hope that his story will prevent even one child from being injured. If you would like to learn more about how to encourage children to play safely, please visit waramps.ca. Jolene and Neil Heck

BioSil™ generates collagen by activating the collagen producing cells in your body known as ﬁbroblasts. It is clinically proven to increase collagen formation. In fact, in the clinical trial the women taking BioSil™ reduced wrinkles by 30%, increased skin elasticity by 89% and thickened and strengthened their hair by 13% compared to women not taking BioSil™. So when you want genuine visible results from collagen, generate it, don’t eat it. Experience the beautiful difference for yourself!

By now you know. Adding body collagen directly reduces wrinkles, increases skin elasticity, and adds vital moisture to your skin. Indirectly, collagen thickens and strengthens your hair. You may also know that collagen production slows by 1% per year after the age of 21. Can you gain it back? Yes. But not by eating collagen. You see, collagen is a protein. When you ingest it, your body breaks it down, like any other protein, and uses it as food. When you want the real beauty benefits of collagen, you have to generate it.

resting heart rate, staleness, increased risk of injury, decreased immune function and general feelings of fatigue. How much rest do you need? Good question, and like many good questions, there’s not a good, clear-cut answer. The amount of rest you need depends on what else is going on in your life (work, stress, other physical activities), your fitness level and how hard you workout. Here are some guidelines to make sure you’re getting enough rest: • Take a rest day every 3-5 days if you workout daily. You can still be active on your rest day, but do something that helps you recover such as gentle yoga, or a walk. • Schedule recovery weeks into your training plan. Aim to progress your workouts for 3 weeks and then plan a week of lighter workouts to give your body time to recover. • Change up your

workouts regularly. Run one day, boot camp the next day, do upper body strength on the third day, and so on. If you always change up your workouts, versus running everyday, your body will naturally get a chance to recovery. If you are training for a specific event or sport, such as running, use cross training to vary your workouts and give your body rest. • Make sure that not all workouts are intense. If you go really hard on one or two days in a row, schedule a lighter workout on the third day (maybe an easy run, or bike ride). • Fuel your body well. High quality nutrition will help your body recover. • Listen to your body. If you really, truly feel like you need a rest, you probably do. Sometimes it can be difficult to determine if you’re simply feeling unmotivated, or if your body needs a rest. If you’re unsure, you can get dressed and start your workout. Go for 10 minutes. How do you feel now? Do you feel energized? Or, do you feel more exhausted than when you started? If you still feel like you need a rest, take a rest day. While working out is important; the rest between workouts is when the body gets stronger. Vary your workouts and intensity level, and schedule recovery time into your workouts regimen to get the most out of your hard work! Ensure that you have at least one or two rest and recovery days in your week. Remember that they can be active recovery such as stretching, yoga or walking.

While the majority of people struggle to get enough exercise in their day, there are some people who veer toward exercising too much. If you’re an athlete, training for an event, or exercise daily simply love the way it makes you feel, make sure you are giving your body adequate time to heal. For your body and mind to be at its optimal state, it needs adequate rest periods to repair and re-energize. Your body does not get stronger, fitter and faster from working out; it gets stronger and faster from recovering from your workouts.

Community Slahal tourney at Cheam Fishing Village The Cheam Fishing Village will be the site of the first ever Aboriginal Day Celebration and Slahal Tournament starting with registration on Friday, June 19 and slahal tournament on June 20. Slahal is a traditional aboriginal game of skill and intuition, using sticks or bones, that once played for gambling or dispute resolution. “It’s a family game that was huge back in the days of hopyards,” said Darwin Douglas. So far more than 15 teams have signed up for the tournament. Stó:lo Community Futures recently approved a $215,550 loan for Cheam Fishing Village under the new Stó:lo Community Loan Fund, in partnership with Vancity Credit Union. The angler-oriented campground is about to undergo an expansion with new electrical hookups for RVs, an overflow area, paving to the site and upgraded washrooms.

room and its teachers for getting him to that commencement ceremony, for helping him earn that cedar grad cap. About 20 per cent of the school’s population identifies as First Nations, or 192 students. Lori August, an aboriginal education assistant, said success isn’t always measured in a Dogwood diploma. While not all the kids who pass through her doors end up on the stage at commencement, they do go on college and employment and contribute to society in meaningful ways. And they don’t turn students away. “We have an open door policy,” she says. “We take students because we feel the best place for them to be is here.” Paul-Smith is proud of his achievements so far, and looks forward to one day seeing his own children cross the stage. And when they get there, he’ll be giving them their own cedar caps. But for now he’ll be forging into young adulthood, with a bit of trepidation. “It happens fast,” he says, of adulthood. “All of a sudden it’s just dropped in your lap.” So, does he have any sage advice for those who are struggling to finish high school? “To the people coming behind me?” he says. “It’s never going to be easy, just try as hard as you can. Don’t settle for what’s given to you and work for what you want.” And you may just earn your own cap.

Agassiz farms are opening up to the public for one day this summer, for the annual Agassiz Farms Cycle Tour. The tour is being hosted by Tourism Harrison and will take place on July 25. Twelve different businesses have signed on for the day-long event, in which cyclists are invited to tour the area on two wheels, visit farms and other locations, and learn a little more about where our food originates. A 25-km flat route has been charted that will guide cyclists around town and through the more rural areas. It’s intended to be a family-friendly event, and has drawn out more than 900 cyclists in past years. Normally there is also a cycle tour throughout Chilliwack, however, this year’s event only includes Agassiz. There will be samples at many of the stops along the way, along with an opportunity to purchase items directly from the farmers themselves. To make shopping and cycling a little easier, Tourism Harrison will be operating a shopping shuttle service. They will collect your items for you and meet you back at the registration booth at the end of the day with your purchases. By day’s end, cyclists will have had the chance to tour a pea shoot farm, sample fresh roasted coffee, explore local history and get up close and personal with local farm animals. Registration is $10 per adult rider, with those under 18 riding for free. Check in and registration is at the Agassiz Fitness/Activity Centre at 6660 Pioneer Avenue, and riders are able to ride and visit anytime between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. that day. To learn more about the Agassiz Farms Cycle Tour, including a full list of what each stop has to offer, visit www.fraservalleycycletours.com.

Local Father’s Day prostate run raises awareness On Sunday, June 21, families throughout B.C. will come together to raise awareness and funds for prostate can-

cer education, research and survivorship. This year’s Chilliwack 5K event is along the beautiful Vedder Trail

and organizers are encouraging residents of all ages to lace up their shoes along with thousands of other B.C.

men, women and their families in support of the cause. Events are also taking place in Vancouver, Kamloops,

Kelowna, and Victoria which will all be hosted on Father’s Day. The Father’s Day Walk Run is an annual event that

encourages the community to come together to support and celebrate the men in their lives. Prostate cancer is the

most common cancer to affect men, which also greatly impacts their families. Funds raised support research to uncover better diagnostic and treatment options and to provide support services for those living with the disease. This year’s theme is Show Your Blue where participants are encouraged to come dressed in blue for the costume contest which is new this year. For those who arrive without a costume, organizers will have a “blue station” to get you accessorized. The family-focused event will have activities, entertainment, and a free pancake breakfast following the run. For more information about registration fees, visit www.thefathersdayrun.ca.

For the record An incorrect headline appear with a Spirit Abreast photo in the June 17 issue of The Progress. The local dragon boating team, made up of breast cancer survivors and supporters, has been around for 13 years, not 20 years as stated. Spirit Abreast was celebrating the 20th anniversary of Canada’s first breast cancer survivor dragon boat team, Abreast in a Boat, which began in False Creek, B.C. The Progress regrets the error and any confusion it may have caused.

THE PERFECT ESCAPE

Green gift ideas for dad It’s all about fathers this Sunday but not all Dads are into ties, tools and sports equipment. Many are surprisingly great barbecue chefs and the new trend is they are becoming fairly avid gardeners too. Can you believe in the USA over one million young men, between the ages 18 and 24, Brian are growing hops – so there’s an MINTER idea worth brewing! Today, one challenge for any gardener can be small space living. Container gardening on the patio is more often the order of the day. Fortunately, food gardening has adapted nicely to small spaces with great results. Blueberries, like evergreen ‘Sunshine Blue’, ‘Peach Sorbet’ and the new ‘Summer Breeze’ (a combination of three varieties grown together) are fun, delicious and can be grown successfully in a container. After a big panic run on the new raspberry, called ‘Raspberry Shortcake’, there now seems to be ample supply in most garden stores and just in

Ficus microcarpa bonsai plant

time for gifting for Father’s Day. It’s a thornless, tasty dwarf raspberry that produces most of the summer and can be planted in a container or in the ground. Espaliered fruit trees are the new wave of small space trees that can be grown either against a fence or can be the fence. They produce delicious apples, pears and Asian pears. There are also naturally occurring genetic dwarf peaches and nectarines that can be grown on

CAN HAPPEN

patios and under cover as well. For more immediate enjoyment, container grown strawberries and tomatoes are very popular today. Everbearing strawberries are usually grown in hanging baskets and can be enjoyed now and all summer. ‘Tumbler’ and ‘Tumbling Tom’ tomatoes are sweet, taste great and fit nicely in pots or baskets. If Dad is into bragging rights, the new grafted tomatoes are still very hot this year. They have great vigour, disease resistance and are now grown on an outdoor rootstock called ‘Supernatural’. Also new and exciting is the remarkable ‘Ketchup ‘n’ Fries’, a tomato grafted onto a potato plant! Bonsai plants have become a lot simpler these days with the advent of the indoor variety Ficus microcarpa. It’s a stunning twisted, gnarled ficus that is easy to grow. Lemon and orange trees are fun too, as are exotic palms and bananas for the deck. For outdoor-loving Dads, walking sticks, Crocs for the garden, cool hats and quality shears are all items they will really enjoy now and for years to come.

Eight Grizzlies in Team BC mix

Eight GW Graham Grizzly football stars have made the latest cut as

Team BC trims down its U-18 and U-16 rosters. Football BC is putting together three teams (also a Grade 8 squad) to compete at the 2015 Tanoa Classic, a showcase event that draws the best of the best from Canada, Washington State, Oregon, Utah, Hawaii and Alaska. The U-16 roster is down to 49 players with one more cut coming. Grizzlies still in the mix include offensive linemen Cooper Middleton

and Jake Troyan, linebacker Von Richardson and receiver Alex Whitehead. The U-18 roster is down to 53 players. Grizzlies surviving to this point include offensive lineman Michael Lengert and Braydon Winger, defensive back Emerson Smith and defensive lineman Jaren Lengert. The final roster won’t be named until mid to late December. See playfootball.bc.ca

Silver skate for juvenile champs

Chilliwack Minor Hockey’s provincial champion juvenile squad was recognized at last weekend’s BC Hockey annual general meeting, receiving a Silver Skate award from the National Hockey

League’s Vancouver Canucks. The Canucks present this award to each provincial champion, paid for by the Canucks for Kids Fund. Vancouver assistant coach Doug Lidster traveled to Sun Peaks Resort (near Kamloops) and presented the award to Chilliwack team members Shane Penner and Dustin Adamson. Their team claimed the crown on home ice in late March, going 5-1 with wins over Langley (twice), Coquitlam, North Delta and Juan de Fuca. The second game

against Langley was a thrilling 4-3 overtime triumph that gave Chilliwack the title. They became the first local squad since 2002 to win a provincial banner, putting an exclamation point on CMHA’s triumphant return to the juvenile division. After a 13 year hiatus, CMHA iced two A-level teams last fall, one C-level team and one female squad. The C-level team won the Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association title. See cmha.goalline.ca for more local minor hockey info.

Grizzlies stomp Langley in scrimmage The GW Graham Grizzlies provided a small taste of what they may be this fall, thumping Langley 49-0 in a scrimmage last Friday. The teams met at Exhibition Stadium. The GW Graham and Langley offences took turns, given 10 plays per series before switching. Play was whistled down on any turnover. GWG quarterback Gabe Olivares made the most of limited work, completing six of eight passes for 134 yards and three touchdowns. Emerson Smith led the

pass catchers with five receptions for 92 yards and a score. Ethan Mastin, Baker Douglas and Noah Dubosoff also had TD receptions. Tristan Davis led the ground game with five carries, 61 yards and a touchdown. Newcomer Josh Morgan had four carries, 59 yards and a major and Emilio Pineda also found the endzone. “The highlight in my view was having Josh Morgan, who has never played football, come in and contribute on both sides of the ball,” said GWG head coach

Laurie Smith. Morgan made his mark defensively with his team’s only interception. Cainen Bergh led the defence with five tackles. Jordon Breuker, back after a one-year hiatus, had three as did Miguel Wood. Generally we were happy with what we saw,” Smith said. “There were lots of errors but that is to be expected with spring ball and only two weeks of practice.” The Grizzlies leave July 10 for their annual team trip to Oregon.

The Waal & Co. Chaos, a local U12-C girls fastpitch team, continues to roll. The team tagged Abbotsford for 18 runs in a one-sided win last weekend, pushing their regular season record to 9-5-1. Charley ‘Monster’ Foreman and Payton ‘Turbo’ Galley led the bats against Abbotsford. Pitcher Makaila ‘Wheels’ Schneider is getting into a zone as playoffs near, backed by the defensive excellence of Trinity ‘Crusher’ Martin, Mya ‘Danger’ Sache and Meghan ‘Brick Wall’ Lane. Playoffs start Saturday at Townsend Park and the Chaos will compete in regionals taking place June 26-28 in Cloverdale.

Stinson bests PGA pros at UFV tournament first place at the UFV Cascades Pro-Am on Monday afternoon. Stinson, a Mission product, lit it up at Chilliwack Golf Club, carding an eagle and eight birdies en route to a seven-under 65. That left him two shots clear of Hadwin and Chris Lee, who finished tied for second at -5. James Lepp (-3) was solo fourth, while other notables included Ray Stewart (+2, T15) and Taylor (+3, 18th).

Kevin Stinson overcame a star-studded field featuring PGA Tour pros Adam Hadwin and Nick Taylor to take

The UFV golf program joined forces with the Vancouver Golf Tour to stage this year’s edition of their annual fundraising tournament, and Stinson’s share of the $5,000 VGT pro prize pool was $1,200. “Kevin’s a quality player, and everybody around here knows that,” Cascades head coach Chris Bertram said. “He’s had a lot of good success in the past, so no one’s ever surprised to see Kevin

go out and light up a golf course. But considering the strength of the field, it’s a pretty impressive feat.” The top finishers from the host Cascades were Kaleb Fisher (+1, T11), Chilliwack native Aaron Pauls (+2, T15) and Cody Stewart (+2, T15). The event, which included a dinner and silent auction, raised roughly $25,000 to support the UFV golf program. The presence of local

golf luminaries like Hadwin, Taylor, James Lepp (the 2005 NCAA Div. 1 individual champion) and Ray Stewart (former PGA Tour player and 1994 Dunhill Cup winner) was no small factor in the tournament’s success. Hadwin and Taylor are both rookies on the PGA Tour this season, with earnings of more than $1.6 million between them. Hadwin was the Web. com Tour money list champion in 2014, and

Taylor notched his first PGA Tour win back in November at the Sanderson Farms Championship. “We’re just so incredibly grateful that those guys are so generous with their time,” Bertram said. “Their lives now vs. three or four years ago when they would come out to this event is so different, with so many demands on their time. The fact they’re coming back and playing in this tournament, it’s humbling. It says a lot about

Nick and Adam and the kind of people they are. They’re class individuals, and they have deep ties to this community. “It was a really great celebration of Fraser Valley golf. In that room, you had the past, the present and the future of golf in this area. There was a really great feeling at the dinner, and a lot of funny banter in the room during the live auction. It felt like a really special gathering of the golf community at all levels.” See ufvcascades.ca

Another ring for May

WOMEN’S INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP Softball City, Cloverdale Athletic Park, Surrey, British Columbia, Canada

Former Chilliwack Bruins general manager Darrell May will receive a third Stanley Cup ring after his Chicago Blackhawks beat the Tampa Bay Lighting Tuesday night. Chicago’s 2-0 win on home ice gave them their third National Hockey League championship in the last five years. May had perfect timing when he joined the Blackhawks as an amateur scout in 2009. The team won the first of their titles the following spring and also claimed the 2013 crown. But May doesn’t get much time to celebrate. A scouts’ life gets busy in June as the NHL entry draft nears. This year’s draft is next weekend at the BB&T Center in Sunrise, FL.

Sports Drivers and their crews have come up with ingenious alterations, like lightweight wooden roll bars painted to look like steel, writes Robert Adams Fast action returns to the Agassiz Speedway Saturday night at 7 p.m. A full evening of racing includes competition in several classes; hornet special featuring mini stock, late model sportsman, hornets, midget and vintage old timers. Local driver Robert Adams is back with his semi-regular column, today talking about the liberal interpretation of rule books. Let’s talk about car racings’ elephant in the room. Cheating. At Agassiz Speedway, I consider myself just about like every other driver out there. And like most drivers, I really do not like cheaters or the advantages they gain. But there’s never been a better set of rulebenders than the guys

and gals in this sport. When it comes to mechanical deception, they are Leonardo Da Vinci and David Copperfield rolled into one. If you want to make a car magically weigh 300 pounds more on the scales than it actually does, or make a 500 cubic inch engine measure out at 358, there are people in our community that know how to do that. Drivers and their crews have come up with ingenious alterations like lightweight wooden roll bars painted to look like steel, frozen springs that drop the car below legal height as they warm up and gas tanks with inflated basketballs hidden inside them. When the tech inspectors fill the tank to check its capacity, everything looks

perfect, until the crew deflates the ball, allowing the tank to hold extra fuel. Someone even created a spark plug with a tiny slot cut in it that made his engine read smaller than its actual size when air was pumped into the cylinders to measure their displacement. And what about the not so blatant modifications? The ‘bending’ of rules? Our rules say nothing about putting holes in the rear portion of the inner fenders, allowing better air flow around the brakes and less drag as air exits past the wheel and tire. The rules just say it has to be a stock body. So is that OK? Is that cheating, just because the rules don’t expressly prohibit this modification?

Or is that just being innovative? Quite a debate can be had over this and a hundred other ‘innovations.’ Which raises the great question, is the competition supposed to be a test of the drivers, cars, or pit crews? Like many gearintensive sports, the wrong equipment can relegate even the best driver to last place. But fans want to see a fair race where the drivers make the race spectacular, door to door for laps at a time, moving when the opportunity presents itself. And guess what, the drivers, pit crews and even the techs who police the rules absolutely love that style of racing too. We get as riveted to that race as the fans do when we see that unfolding. I must say first how much we appreciate the sponsors who help make this happen, but in all fairness, obviously the cars we race really aren’t what you buy. In the early days of NASCAR and other racing, cars were based

on the ones that customers actually bought in the showroom. Racing involved powerful brand loyalties. Fans rooted for Ford, Chevrolet or Chrysler, and a checkered flag meant an instant bump in sales. The slogan, ‘Win on Sunday, sell on Monday’ really meant something in the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s. Now, race fans are more loyal to the driver, and their specific sponsors, and makes an effort to buy from those companies. Fact: There is still no greater loyalty than you find in the racing community. But back to racing. Like most fans, you come here to experience the ‘total package.’ It changes every race. The opportunity to cheat or be ‘innovative’ varies, the drivers perform or fail, but as fans we generally just want to see solid, spectacular racing. And if you can’t do that tonight, then at least provide excitement by scraping or hitting the wall for us.

Ionela casts eyes toward Special Olympics Barry Stewart, Black Press Ever since preschool, Ionela Garrett has had a great love for playing the game of soccer. Now, as she moves into her adult life, Special Olympics soccer is looking like an activity she can aspire to for years to come. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fantastic player,â&#x20AC;? said coach Wayne Williams, on Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ionela (pronounced â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;yo-Nellaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) is one of our more talented ones.â&#x20AC;? You can tell sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been playing a long while and she has a good knowledge of the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very driven girl when it comes to soccer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and when she pops in a goal that really motivates her.â&#x20AC;? The 19-year-old was adopted from Romania by her parents Don and Judy when she was only three years old. Soon after, she went along to her brother Rossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer games and there was no holding her back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hope Minor Soccer let her start a year early, at age 4, because she was good at running around,â&#x20AC;? said Judy, smiling. Once Ionela got to high school she played for the Mustangs and made her mark when she scored Hopeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only goal against a very talented Abbotsford Traditional squad. Of ficially, Ionela graduated last year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but she went back for a bonus year in 20142015 and will soon be attending sessions at the Tillicum Workshop.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did English, math, life skills, foods, physical fitness and woodworking,â&#x20AC;? said Ionela of her extra yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studies. Her first introduction to Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Special Olympics program was during the school strike in 2012, when soccer wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t offered at Hope Secondary according to mom. Ionela signed up for baseball but then went back to school soccer for grade 11 and 12 before being aged-out and ineligible this year, so it was back to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Special Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for soccer this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no aging-out in Special Olympics,â&#x20AC;? added Judy. On the Chilliwack team, there are players from age 12 to 55. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are only four girls and the rest are guys,â&#x20AC;? said Ionela â&#x20AC;&#x201D; though Coach Williams said the girls have no problem with that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The girls just jump right in and play with the guys,â&#x20AC;? he said. Ionela prefers to kick with her right foot, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but I like to use my head too,â&#x20AC;? she added. And she works hard, too hard, sometimes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had a tournament in Abbotsford on June 6th to end the season,â&#x20AC;? said Judy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She had a piano recital on the same day, so she had to miss the first two games.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;And it was skunking hot,â&#x20AC;? added Ionela. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I played two games and I scored one goal but I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play in the last game, because I was overheated.â&#x20AC;? Coach Williams, who has been leading the Chilliwack soccer program for the past four

years, mentioned this is the World Special Olympics year, which occurs every four years and will be held in Los Angeles. Next season, teams will be competing to decide regional champions. In 2017, those teams will move on to provincial championships, followed by a national event in 2018, leading up to the 2019 World championships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two years ago, the Chilliwack soccer team went to the provincials and we won the gold medal in our division â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but there was another team that won gold in their division and we missed going to the nationals by one goal,â&#x20AC;? said Williams. Soccer isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only game offered by the Chilliwack â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Special Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have winter sports and summer sports,â&#x20AC;? said Williams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In winter, we have bowling, ring hockey, basketball, power lifting and swimming â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and in summer, we have rhythmic gymnastics, soccer, baseball and bocce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also started an Active Start program for kids aged 2 to 12 to teach important skills and to prepare them for playing sports. Thanks to sponsorships and donations the program is able to keep registration fees at $30 per sport,â&#x20AC;? said Williams, who invited potential volunteers, coaches and athletes to check out the provincial website at specialolympics. bc.ca. Williams can also be reached by phone at 604-819-5408.

Your heart will live on in all of us. We are for the better because of you - for having you in our lives, for loving you and for experiencing your unconditional love. What a special gift you gave...what a legacy you leave. It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Edward David Euan Gray (Dave). He was predeceased by his father John, mother Eve and brother Mark. He is survived by his beloved wife of 52 years, Elaine, his son Jock, his daughter Heather (Brad) Waal, his two cherished granddaughters, Kendall and Ireland Waal and his four legged companion, Teddy. Dave was born in Chester, England and immigrated to Canada in 1947. He worked as an Engineering Technician in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Northern British Columbia, Victoria and finally Chilliwack, eventually retiring as a partner at J.W. Wedler & Associates. Dave was a Paul Harris Fellow and past member of the Chilliwack Fraser Rotary Club. A lifelong member of the Chilliwack Golf and Country Club, Dave has left us in search of his elusive first hole-in-one. A gathering to honour his memory will be held by the family at a later date.

FERGUSON

June 22, 1943 – June 15, 2015 Wayne Brent Ferguson, of Chilliwack BC, passed away in VGH Monday June 15th 2015 after a courageous battle with leukemia. He had a peaceful send off with family at his side. During the singing of ‘Nearer My God To Thee’ Wayne took his last breath. Wayne is survived by his loving wife of 47 years, Patricia, and his son’s Ryan Brent (Pandora) and Bradley Wayne (Jessica).

Wayne served 27 ½ years with the Military, where he was stationed throughout various parts of Canada, Germany, Israel and Norway. Upon retiring as a Warrant Officer with the Military, Wayne chose to pursue a career in real estate where he

found success in sales, and during this time also held position of President of the BC Real Estate Board. After 10 years in real estate, music and writing novels became an endeavor.
