A million more for road rehab Jennifer Feinberg The Progress That bumpy ride is set to get a tad smoother. Thousands of tonnes of hot mix asphalt are going down this year on the streets of Chilliwack. The 2015 Asphalt Rehabilitation and Shoulder Paving tender went to GTB Construction for $2.138 million after a council vote last May. That’s almost a million more than last year’s tender. “Aggressive tendering by the bidders will allow the City to proceed with all the base and provisional work, within the 2015 budget,” according to the staff report. Local roads up for fresh blacktop include sections of: Lindell, Edward, Ryder Lake, Sumas Prairie, Thornton, Airport, Yale, Young, First, Bailey and Luckakuck. The Road Rehab budget also covers $1.4 million of work not included in the base tender, such as repaving on Camp River, and Promontory Roads, as well as road strengthening on Elkview and some rail crossing improvements. Boundary Road was tentatively on the provisional list with a water main replacement planned in Yarrow, but the water project is not going ahead this year so neither is the repaving on Boundary since it’s contingent on the provisional work.

Chilliwack celebrated Canada Day basking in the warm glow of a full moon on Wednesday night. “Look what Mother Nature gave you tonight, look at that beautiful moon!” emcee Trevor McDonald told the crowds at Townsend Park, as the sun went down and the moon rose over Mt. Cheam. “You can’t plan a backdrop like that, ladies and gentleman.” The Canada Day celebrations
were a resounding success, with food trucks and community organizations making use of the parking lot, and about 7,000 people eventually making their way into the park areas and artificial turf field. Children were invited to have their faces painted, ride the Rotary Train, or take part in activities like potato sack races, set up by the Chilliwack YMCA. Earlier in the day, firefighters soaked down the rubber turf to cool it, and set up a spray area which kept the children’s zone a bit cooler.
It all got started at about 5 p.m., with a beautiful performance of the national anthem by 10-year-old Maya Earl. That led into sets by the Curbside Traditional Jazz Band, Todd Richard, Haley Chase and the Fever, and finally Bobby Bruce and his band, Canadian A. But the entertainment didn’t stop there. Aerial acrobatics were performed by members of The Goddess Movement. And topping off the night was a special performance by the Cascadia Wind Ensemble. The 25-piece group of local musi-

cians brought the fireworks show to new level, playing symphony selections at the base of the stage, and amplified for all to hear with the help of Go Audio. The heat of the day kept the crowds smaller at the outset of the evening, but as sun went down the fields filled with festive families ready to celebrate Canada Day. Among all the dignitaries and musical acts to hit the stage, there was one very special guest who had a moment in the spotlight.

Exceptionally hot and dry summer in Chilliwack Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Is Fraser Valley becoming a desert? There were only four days of rain that fell in the month of June, and 10 record-breaking hot days in Chilliwack with temperatures above 30 C. The total of 8.5 mm made for the hottest and driest month of June in Chilliwack since they started keeping records in 1879, said Roger
Pannett, volunteer weather obser ver for Environment Canada. It was a “persistent strong ridge of high pressure” for most of the month that caused it. “Unlike the B.C. southern Interior, only a few light showers fell on June 18 and 28 as a couple of upper level disturbances moved north over the province,” Pannett said in his June weather report. Temperature extremes
included the record breaking 34.8 C (25% relative humidity) on June 27 and a minimum temperature of 9.5 C on June 13. “For the sixth consecutive month abnormally warm record breaking temperatures continued.” There were 44 high temperature record set in Chilliwack, “smashing the previous total of 41 recorded in 2014,” he added. “Summer has started
exceptionally hot and dry!” With rainfall totals 89 per cent below normal, at 8.5 mm, it was the driest June in Chilliwack in over 136 years. The previous driest June was in 1965 with 12.7 mm. “Presently it appears Chilliwack has become part of the Desert Fraser Valley!” Compare the total of 8.5 mm of rain in June with Vernon’s total of 52.7 mm or Kamloops’ total of 82.5 mm.

Car shows gaining more traction Jessica Peters The Progress Collector car shows have received a gold-star rating from the Province of B.C. The month of July, and specifically July 11, have been proclaimed Collector Car Appreciation Day and Month, to recognize their contributions to society and the economy. The announcement is just in time for car show season, which got off to a roaring start downtown Chilliwack on Sunday with the arrival of more than 200 vintage cars and trucks. And, it will be celebrated with a special appearance by a VIP judge at an upcoming car show.
SINCE 1973
LOCALLY OWNED & OPERATED 6/15F_LF19
Harv McCullough, manager of the Fraser Valley Classic Car Show, said that Todd Stone, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure will be attending the show at the Atchelitz Threshermen’s Association site on July 19. It’s a plan that was set in place a few months ago, McCullough said, with the help of MLA John Martin. He’s looking forward to welcoming the Minister Stone to the car show, which is set among the antique-filled site. It’s just one of about 216 car shows that are held annually in the province. The vintage and collector car community “plays an economic and social role province wide through holding car shows where the
profits are directed to local charities, hospitals, senior events and school projects,” the proclamation states. They also support local businesses in the communities they are held. “I am pleased to see that we as vehicle enthusiasts and historians are being recognized for what we contribute to communities within the province,” McCullough said. “This was enacted to recognize classic vehicle club’s for their contribution to the local community, from car shows that are held province wide. The contributions can be as simple as teaching the younger generations the history of the automotive industry to contributing funding raised for charities and school projects.

“The hobby contributes to local business that are involved in supplying vehicle parts; body shops; restoration services; and even towing companies,” he adds. “On the actual car show day, dollars are spend on food; automotive regalia; lodging and other activities, depending on the car show.” The FVCCS has been able to waive registration fees for vehicle owners, and admission fees to the public, through a sole sponsorship by the Great Canadian Oil Change. The show is open to vehicles that are from 1979 and prior. Gates open at 10 a.m. and close at 4 p.m. For more information, visit fvccs.ca.
Hiking trails in the Chilliwack River Valley are being spruced up this summer, with the addition of foot bridges and some new signage. The Hiking Trail Rehab project, undertaken by Chilliwack Trails Society, is underway. About half of the existing 13 trails have had rehab work completed on them, including brushing and removal of dead trees. “The trails crew has been on the ground for a month,” reports Sam Waddington, a member of the Chilliwack Trails Society. “They’re now tackling some bridging and some new infrastructure along the trails.” Head trail builder, Ewan Fafard, has experience working on the Grouse Grind and the Squid Line on Sumas Mountain, and will be working this summer with crews of volunteers. “He’s done a really good job and the trail work makes the user experience so much better,” Waddington noted. A recent funding boost of $15,000 from TD Green Streets, will go toward some trailhead beautification, along with native plants, and new signage set to go in the fall. Sto:lo knowledge about traditional plants and Sto:lo names will be part of the future projects. “Keep in mind this is not a one-year project,” said Waddington. “This is about building a trail network through collaboration with various partners.” There’s been a lot of support shown for the trails rehab project, including FVRD dedicating a staff person as liaison. “This is just the beginning,” said Waddington. “The trails will only get better and better from here.” They secured $28,000 in federal funding from the National Trails Coalition earlier this year, through the Federation of Mountain Clubs of BC, along with matching funds from several local partners. The trails effort is known as the Chilliwack River Valley Hiking Trails Rehabilitation project. Matching funds have come from: Chilliwack Forest District, Tourism Chilliwack, CEPCO, Chilliwack Outdoors Club, Give’r Take Around the Lake Society. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Salmon and whales ingest microplastics, study finds
The City of Chilliwack is implementing an automated billing system to invoice property owners for false alarms which will come into full effect in September 2015.
What is a false alarm? A false alarm is the activation of an alarm system resulting in the attendance of the RCMP or the Fire Department at the property when there is no apparent or actual evidence to merit such a call. (See Bylaw No. 3747 for a full description.)
Particles ingested by plankton then other species
Why is the City implementing this bylaw? Starting in September 2015 the City will invoice property owners for false alarms in order to encourage people to reduce false alarms, which cause an unnecessary expense and take RCMP members or fire fighters away from real emergencies.

study suggested the plastic fragments may also absorb and pass along persistent organic pollutants. Georgia Strait Alliance executive director Christianne Wilhelmson said the findings shed new light on the threat of virtually invisible ocean contamination, as opposed to more obvious marine garbage. “We’re now really starting to understand that plastic does break down into small pieces and just because we can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not having a potentially incredible and negative impact on the marine environment,” she said. “It demonstrates how badly we’ve been treating the oceans as a garbage dump and it’s really coming back to haunt us.” Wilhelmson said the growing prevalence of plastic microfibres offshore is reversing the thinking on some practices once thought to be green. “We recycle plastics to make fleece jackets but now we’re realizing those fleece jackets are breaking down in our laundry and those fibres are not being trapped by sewage treatment and that ends up in the ocean being part of the pollution.” Ross joined the Vancouver Aquarium last year after the federal government in 2012 shut down his marine toxicology program within the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. He was one of dozens of scientists terminated with the elimination of the national contaminants research program. Ross had testified in 2011 at the Cohen Inquiry into declining sockeye numbers that toxins flushed down Metro Vancouver sewers were likely a contributing factor.

creatures that make up a major food source for juvenile salmon, as well as baleen whales. Microplastic particles are barely visible small fragments, fibres and granules that are widespread in the ocean due to the breakdown of plastics – from both litter, ropes and other sources such as sewage effluent in major populated areas. They’re different from plastic microbeads that are deliberately used in toothpastes and exfoliants. Ross and his colleagues estimated a juvenile salmon in the Strait of Georgia may be ingesting two to seven microplastic particles per day, and returning adult salmon are ingesting up to 91 particles per day. A humpback whale could be ingesting more than 300,000 microplastic particles a day. “These par ticles could pose a serious risk of physical harm to the marine animals that consume them, potentially blocking their gut or leaching chemicals into their bodies,” Ross said. He said the research is the first clear evidence that species at the bottom of the food web are mistaking plastics for food and potentially posing a risk to other animals. The findings were published in June by the journal Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology. It’s unclear yet whether microplastics in the marine food web pose a human health risk to people who consume seafood. Exposure is thought to be lower with fish that people don’t eat whole – such as salmon – compared to shellfish such as mussels, which an earlier European study also found to contain microplastics.

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The kennels at FVRD’s CARE Centre were filling up the day after the Canada Day fireworks in Chilliwack. Several frightened animals were impounded by animal control personnel to await pick-up by their owners. “You are correct, we did end up with a few dogs that most likely got spooked from the loud noise of the fireworks and managed to run off,” reported Stacey Barker, FVRD manager of Environmental Services. “Also, we usually receive a few reports from people that are hanging on to a dog that ended up in their neighbourhood for the same reason.” Anyone still missing their pet can call and visit the shelter on Wolfe Road in Chilliwack to check if the animal is still there. The facility was recently renamed the Community Animal Response & Education (CARE) Centre, and is run by the FVRD. “This is also a good opportunity to remind people that we provide a dog adoption service. We have many unclaimed dogs in our system that are looking for a good home. “If anyone is interested in adopting a dog, please call the CARE Centre and we can work to find you your perfect match,” he added. “Also, if people aren’t ready for the commitment of adoption, but still want to help out, we are always looking for temporary foster parents for dogs that are awaiting adoption.” They are always in need of volunteer dog walkers. The CARE Centre is at 1-844-495-CARE.

Dan Rothman and his nineyear-old son came to Chilliwack just after the movie Jurassic World opened to record numbers. They have not seen the movie yet. The Rothmans are fishermen. They came here from New Jersey because they heard of the giant monster fish that still swim in British Columbia’s Fraser River. This week, on Monday June 29 at 1:30 p.m., four foot tall, nine-year-old Kegan Rothman caught an estimated 600-pound Great White Sturgeon on the Fraser with a B.C. guiding charter company called Great River Fishing Adventures. On their first day out, they caught the biggest fish on record for the company this year. Nine-year-old Kegan saw his rod tip dip and he set the hook. A fight ensued. With the help of his father and their guide, Ben Trainer, they played the fish down the river. Great River Fishing Adventures guide Trainer manoeuvred the sturgeon and the boat, taking one hour and 45 minutes to land the

fish, a nearly impossible feat. Once on shore, Trainer was able to properly examine the fish. The scientific measurement to the fork in the fish’s tail – the fork length is 9 feet and 5 inches. The fish’s total length was measured at 10 feet and one inch. While it was impossible to weigh it, charts indicate that its weight is about 600 pounds. It had a 50 inch girth measured below the pectoral fins. “I’ve been a professional
fishing guide on the Fraser for 11 years and have fished these rivers my whole life. This is one of my largest fish I have help a client catch,” says Trainer of Great River Fishing Adventures. “We have helped to collectively tag more than 61,000 white sturgeon since 1995, and scanned an excess of 122,000 tagged sturgeon, which have been caught and released. With the size of this fish, I’d bet its over 75 years old.” For the fish enthusiasts who
travelled from New Jersey for their week of angling, it was a fish story to beat all others. With an iPhone the group was able to take some photos and video footage of the catch and release of the giant white sturgeon. “It is the most excitement I’ve ever had with a fish. It was so hard to hold onto the rod. I thought the fish was going to pull me into the water,” says Kegan. “I’ll never forget this – this is the best trip of my life!” Kegan Rothman is already an avid fisherman. At the young age of nine years old he has caught hundreds of fish and keeps a book recording all their weights and sizes. His previous largest fish was a 120 pound sailfish caught while on vacation to Mexico. What comes after the catch of a lifetime? The Rothmans were out on the water for two more days. They fish on Thursday July 2 before they fly back home to Atlantic City, New Jersey on Friday.

Chilliwack prolific offender arrested in Abbotsford A 33 year old Chilliwack man faces several charges following his arrest in Abbotsford last week. Around 2 p.m. last Thursday police saw a man in a green van driving east on George Ferguson Way.
“The driver was well known to police and was prohibited from driving,” said Cpl. Brock Rayworth of the Chilliwack RCMP Crime Reduction Unit. The man was pulled over and arrested, and a search of the van
allegedly turned up break-in tools and illegal drugs. Shaun Darryl Bolko faces six counts of breach of probation plus one for driving while prohibited. “Mr. Bolko has repeated contact with police in the Chilliwack
region and is registered in our Prolific Offender program,” said Cpl. Mike Rail. “Prolific offenders receive in-depth attention from Chilliwack RCMP, and any emerging issues or updates on these offenders are discussed monthly
by management.” Police remind everyone witnessing anything suspicious to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers, anonymously, at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
Summer road work starts to heat up ROAD from Front Which roads get attention on any given year is based on a ‘worst first’ approach. Every five years the city contracts out for a survey that assigns a pavement quality index rating for each road. The rehab system divides Chilliwack roads into class categories, as local, collector or arterial, to ensure the lower-volume local roads get upgraded as well. Repaving work is funded by gas tax revenues as well as city tax revenues. GTB Construction, a subsidiary of Keywest Asphalt, was also awarded the tender for Chilliwack roads from 2012 to 2014, as well as in 2009, but it was under the name Keywest in those years. GTB had low bid for base and shoulder work, as well as the provisional projects. The new subsidiary of Keywest “was created to allow them to bid on municipal projects requiring civil construction work,” according to the staff report, adding that Keywest Asphalt had been “rejected” from bidding on projects with civil components because their name gave the impression they did “paving only.” GTB’s new asphalt plant on Herrling Island got a visit from the consultant and staff and both were “satisfied” the facility can produce the volume required for the contract. So far this summer work on Upper Prairie, Gillanders and Ballam Road has been completed. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Summer is in full swing, the patios are packed with people enjoying a cold one and backyard barbecues and picnics abound. Unfortunately, summer holidays, sunshine and high temperatures can combine to concoct a deadly cocktail of people drinking and driving. RCMP, ICBC and other police agencies launched another Counter Attack program this week to try and put a dent in the carnage resulting from people continuing to drink and drive. But we all need to do our part. Only a concerted effort will drive the message home that we need to put the brakes on drinking and driving for good. If you know your circumstances may include a couple of drinks, take the time to arrange a ride home or ensure you have a designated driver. It’s much easier to take the time and plan ahead, compared to what you will deal with if you drink and get behind the wheel. It can save your life, the lives of those you love or the lives of innocent others. One bad decision can leave scars that never heal and a trail of shattered lives ruined by a booze-fuelled lapse in judgment. Even if you are fortunate enough to be pulled over before you do any damage, the consequences of a hefty fine, vehicle impoundment, court time and the possibility of a criminal record are steep penalties to pay. You can be part of the solution by letting the police know if you see someone who is drinking and driving. If you see someone sneaking a few brews at the beach, call 911. If the person at the pub knocking back shooters to celebrate a birthday is getting into their car to drive home, call 911. If you see a vehicle being driven recklessly or erratically, call 911. It’s also of assistance if you can clearly identify the location, direction of travel and can provide a licence plate number before you call. While programs like drinking and driving Counter Attack and media coverage have resulted in a reduction in impaired driving offences, the sad reality is there are still people out there who just don’t get it. So please, enjoy your summer and help spread the word that if you are foolish enough to drink and drive, there are more and more people out there watching with an eye on getting you arrested and off the road. ~ Black Press
L OCALLY G LOBAL
Food waste weighs heavy on ‘throw-away society’ Growing up in postwar England, I remember the food stamps that were issued to ration people’s consumption of food at a time of scarcity and to ensure there was enough to feed the military. Even the Royal Family had ration books. It started on January 8, 1940 and didn’t end until 1954. Basic supplies like tea, dairy, porridge, sugar and eggs were calculated and each family went to their local grocer and butcher to register. The coupons were sent to the Ministry of Food to be counted so they would know each grocer’s future supply needs. You got what you needed. Nothing more. The food was fresh. People were healthy. And nothing was wasted. Fast forward 60 years. Today, Canadians waste $31 billion worth of food every year.
That’s about 30 per cent to 40 per cent of all food produced. That’s appalling. Then, if you factor in the related wastage of land use, labour, water, fer tilizer, farm equipment use and maintenance, transpor tation, fuel and energy, storage and warehousing, disposal Margaret fees, markdowns EVANS and re-packaging, that figure can easily triple. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, the estimate of direct food waste is just 29 per cent of the total cost of waste which is calculated in Canada at $107 billion. Annually. And, according to a 2014 report by Value Chain Management
International, the figure of $31 billion is actually up $4 billion more than their reported figure of $27 billion of wasted food in 2010. That’s an increase of 15 per cent of wasted food in just four years. The wastage is levelled at ever y sector of society along the production and supply chain from the farm (10 per cent), to processing (20 per cent), transportation and distribution (4 per cent), restaurants and hotels (9 per cent), retail stores (10 per cent), and, largest of all, consumers (47 per cent). Not included due to lack of verifiable data is food waste from international catering – airlines, cruise ships, merchant ships, cross-border trains, yachts, and the military. Nevertheless those are still considered to be major contributors of food waste.

That’s a pretty awful amount of food to be thrown into landfills. So, to put that $31 billion into context, the VCM report stated that it represents 30 per cent of what was produced by Canada’s agriculture and agri-food system in 2012, 2 per cent of Canada’s GDP in 2013, more than twothirds of the value of all Canada’s agricultural exports ($43.6 billion) in 2012, slightly less than the value of all our agricultural food imports ($32.3 billion) and – get this – higher than the combined GDP of the world’s 29 poorest countries. Why are we so wasteful? Because it’s easy and, sadly or badly, we’ve become a casual toss-away society. It’s easy to go to the store, load up the buggy, stash it all away, have a meal change of plans, and forget about it. A month later when that stuff
at the back of the fridge is changing shape and growing fuzz, it’s easy to toss it out and buy more. And yet it would be so easy to cut waste back by at least 20 per cent with careful shopping, follow through on making those planned meals, using up leftovers in another meal or include them in lunches, freezing what’s not been used in a timely manner, turning overripe fruits into desserts or sweet breads, and buying only amounts of perishable foods that can be used before best-before dates. Food, money, time, and space are saved. Food waste is a mindset that has got to change. Population growth and climate change are already challenging food production. We can afford to waste nothing.

Of The Week
Ample evidence of climate change In the July 1, 2015 edition of the Chilliwack Progress Letters to the Editor, G. Vande Bunte again surfaced as a regular climate change denier. He uses the argument that global warming and cooling of the Earth has always happened in the past and that the recent 2015 extremes are just normal climate fluctuations. Making such claims on one year of data is like trying to tell the time of day by watching only the second hand of a clock. He cites no sources for the claim that this is the first year of a recorded temperature upswing since 1990s which is
completely false and he supplies no source or scientific evidence for his claims which can only be interpreted as denier myths and just his own opinions. Sadly he is only a tiny voice against the consensus of 97 per cent of the world’s climate scientists that global warming in the last 100 or more years is changing at a rate much greater than ever recorded. I can only guess the other three per cent of scientists still believe Elvis lives and the Earth is indeed flat. The shocking rate of climate change is the key alarm bell not that it always has changed. I

invite you sir to check out this NASA website http://climate. nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/ and follow all the links therein to see the graphs and many peer reviewed studies and papers on the subject. While I respect your right to your opinion I do have a problem with your very unscientific persistence and questionable methods to prove your point. Ending your opinion with the red herring of the retail price of bottle water vs. the cost to the supplier for that water only caused me to say; “WHAT?”
Gavin and Everett deliver papers in Garrison Crossing. They do their route three times a week with their grandpa and sometimes their dog Riley. They have a good system and are able to do quite a big route as a team! The door hangers are their least favorite part of doing the paper route because it's hard to get them to stay on, thankfully they don't have to do these every time. The boys both play soccer and the Pokemon trading card game in their free time. They are excited to be attending the World Pokemon Championship in Boston this summer. Gavin has just completed grade 7 at Mt. Slesse middle school. And Everett has just completed grade 5 at Watson elementary.

Who do I call for a tax refund? Now, after being informed that residents violating water instructions will not be fined, I will ask for a portion of my taxes to be returned. Why do we have to fund the cost of thousands of brochures printed and delivered informing us of watering restrictions? Why do we have a bylaw officer when he/
she is not enforcing and fining anyone not in compliance with water restrictions? I have neighbours that water, not on their allotted days, but every day for up to five hours, Hard to believe, but true and mostly on lawn. This neighbour was reported, only frustratingly to be informed by Chilliwack’s engineer-
A worthwhile cause This is a reference to one of the “most deserving Charitable organizations in British Columbia”. Children’s Wish is an entity that supplies significant “Life wishes” to children who are suffering from serious physical difficulties and who wish for a specific experience in life. My daughter is the executive director of the B.C. and Yukon Chapters of Children’s Wish. She had asked me to assist in promoting two fundraising events in June. She first asked me to put up advertising flyers across Langley for their “Princess and Pirates” party event for young children and their parents. This event was a great success. The second event was the Truckers’ Convention, held recently in Abbotsford. I was
asked to man the children’s wish booth. This major convention for trucking firms from across western Canada was held at the Tradex Centre. At their concluding dinner, they asked for substantial contributions for Children’s’ wish and raised over $23,000. I am grateful for the generosity from the trucking community. It was rewarding to see that many people desire to do their best to support the many children who have benefitted from Children’s Wish subsidies. In my opinion, this is one of the very best charitable foundations in Canada. If you know of any local businesses or individuals in Chilliwack and Hope who wish to sponsor a child for Children’s Wish, please feel free to contact me. Dick Harrington

want stronger action to stop people talking or texting on their phones while they’re behind the wheel. The issue now is how high the fines should go. “British Columbians are also telling us they want to see tougher escalating penalties for repeat offenders, because right now some people see the $167 ticket as the cost of doing business,” Anton said Tuesday. “We need to stop that.” B.C.’s fine is the second lowest in Canada, and a three-point insurance penalty was added last fall. Anton said she doesn’t intend to follow Ontario’s lead and put the fine up to $1,000 for repeat offenders, but an increase will be coming within a year.

New rules for AGLG The office of the Auditor General for Local Government has new marching orders from the province to avoid a repeat of problems that led to the firing of first AGLG Basia Ruta. Legislation is planned to draw clearer lines of responsibility between the AGLG and its governing audit council, and seek to guard against excessive use of contracted consultants. Those were among the recommendations from a review carried out by Chris Trumpy after Ruta was removed earlier this year. She had resisted an attempt to review her slow performance in completing audits of municipalities. The office was created by the BC Liberal government to conduct performance audits on local government to help them find savings and efficiencies. Most civic leaders were skeptical of the initiative’s value from the outset. Ruta is challenging her dismissal in court. ~ Black Press

The fragrant rosemary grows chest high, and their fruit trees are filling with a small but healthy harvest. In one corner, an old oriental statue of a man seems to be tending the garden. In another, a bench sits in the shade of an arbor. Separately, each detail is a hallmark of a well-tended, thoughtful garden. But together, they create an everyday oasis in the heart of the city. The Hails’ garden encompasses their entire city lot, where there isn’t a patch of grass in sight. In
reshaping, replanting, and redecorating their property, the Hails have created what is arguably the smallest garden on the upcoming 13th Annual Chilliwack Rotary Club’s Garden and Lifestyles Tour. But it’s also one of the most compact, packing quite a punch from

Two disturbing incidents of unprovoked pet attacks brought to my attention fairly recently have prompted me to write this article. Both incidents involved leashed dogs that were walking on a public thoroughfare at the time of victimization. Currently, across Canada veterinarians are presenting their input to the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association speaking to the issue of dangerous dog legislation. This legislation is intended to protect the general public from dogs classified as “dangerous” or “vicious”. Our Association, as a strong collective voice, supports this legislation in principle as long as it is not discriminatory of any specific breed. This legislation is focused on extreme behavior demonstrated by dogs that are, in most cases, “repeat offenders.” However, as we all know, any dog or cat is potentially capable of causing injury to other pets or people under certain circumstances of stress. Instigating stressful circumstances can vary widely. For example, aggression can be triggered by the uncontrolled expression of natural instincts such as territorial or dominance behavior, the unrelenting discomfort of injury or chronic disease, or from chronic emotional distress associated with teasing, taunting or other forms of abuse imposed by humans. Along with the privilege of owning pets comes the responsibility for every pet owner to ensure that all the health needs and safety of each individual pet

are met and to ensure that their pet causes no harm to other pets or the public at large. The provision of adequate containment measures and early puppy training are two very important considerations that owners can take which can go a long way towards fulfilling these important obligations. Basic containment measures include ensuring that gate latches are secure, fences and pens are built high enough to prevent escape and that electronic property barriers are closely monitored. Dogs in the company of their owners need to be under secure leash control in areas of public domain that are not designated to be off leash Continued: PETS/ p19

area. Cats as well need some form of effective indoor or outdoor containment to keep them safe and to protect the safety of other pets and people. It is important to be aware that animals running at large are generally more likely to bite or attack other pets or people. The two incidents of attack I mentioned earlier could have been prevented if adequate containment had been in effect. The first incident involved Maggy a 12-year-old spayed female Lhasa Apso who was victimized by a much larger dog that had jumped over the fence to get to her. Apparently, what had worked in her favour to save her from further injury was that at the start of the attack she had tumbled into the narrow space between a curb and a parked vehicle preventing the attacking dog from easily getting to her and allowing time for the owner to get hold of him and pull him away. The second, separate incident involved Grizz, a young neutered male Shih Tzu cross. He was attacked by a neighbor’s cat who had run across the road and scratched him on the tail. When restrained by the owner, the cat had redirected its attack targeting the owner’s legs. Another very important safety measure that can provide great benefit to a pet owner and the pet itself is early puppy training. As with people, an adult dog’s behavior is molded by his early training experiences as a young pup. (As the twig is bent so is the tree inclined). Basic essential skills that all pups need to be taught include training of impulse control and to “sit,” “wait,” “leave it,” and “drop it” on command. Also, they need to learn to come to a call or whistle promptly if off leash. Finally, but no less importantly, children need to be supervised around all pets. Their education about animal behavior must be started at an early age so that they can learn to respect all pets as feeling, thinking beings that are nonetheless guided by instinctive behavior to protect their food, territory and family pack members. Taunting and teasing of pets as through a fence should always be forbidden activities. In a recent conversation with the owner of Maggy, the owner offered an additional comment that is worth repeating. He had noted that the owner of the escaped dog was surprised that his dog had been aggressive since his perception was that his dog was always very friendly around his home. This form of denial is quite common with pet owners until they understand that animals running at large are generally bolder and potentially more aggressive, especially when encountering dogs that are unfamiliar to them. As Chilliwack grows, so does its pet population. Chilliwack residents are well aware that our community is a great place to live, work and play. Let’s add, “A very safe place for pets and people to coexist” to this list!

If you haven’t been sitting under a shade tree during our extremely hot weather, it’s probably because you don’t have one! As a matter of fact, if you take a good look around at our newer homes, many on Brian smaller MINTER lots, shade trees tend to be one of the rarest species of trees in the landscape. Considering the many attributes of these tall, stately trees, we’re really missing a welcome addition to our homes, especially now in this heat. The most common misconception about shade trees is that they grow 100 feet overnight, drop tons of leaves to be raked up each year, and have root systems which demolish septic tanks and fields. Added to these alleged problems are concerns about insects, disease and pruning. If these are the reasons that folks are not planting shade trees, it is unfortunate, because for the most part they are unfounded fears. Shade trees can also be planted for reasons other than shade. When I select a tree for a landscape, I always look for two or three ways in which it can
enhance the overall landscaping theme. Colour is one of the most important factors, and whether it be foliage colour during the growing season or a spectacular fall performance, you’ll have to admit they do brighten up the yard. For summer colour, consider the disease free ‘Prairie Fire’ flowering crabapple, the many new tree forms of magnolias, the rich colour of the narrow ‘Red Obelisk’ or ‘Dawyck Gold’ beech, the golden robinia or the chartreuse ‘Sunburst’ locust tree. Fall colour specimens are too numerous to mention, but my favourite is the Acer rubrum family, which begin their red glow in late August. Form is another important consideration. Tall, stark buildings or farm and commercial buildings too often spoil our vistas. Large pyramidal, round or columnar trees can soften and screen such structures and allow them to become more visually acceptable. Let’s talk about the cooling effect of a shade tree. I’ve mentioned before that one average-sized shade tree has a cooling effect equivalent to four household airconditioners running twelve hours a day. The net result is that your house could be 10-13°C cooler during our summer hot spells. Think about that one
Shade trees can help keep your house cool. SUBMITTED
as you lay awake at night, tossing and turning in a 30°C room! Another big bonus is that the cooling effect of a shade tree doesn’t arrive in the form of a hydro bill at the end of each month. If I haven’t convinced you yet that shade trees are a good investment, let me add the fact that they’ll keep your yard cleaner by collecting on their leaves the dust particles which would blow into your home, as well as sequestering carbon. In addition, they produce oxygen. They provide homes for birds, which in turn minimize your insect populations, and they act as a sound barrier to absorb a good deal of the noise from local traffic. Shade trees also provide a great source of entertainment for kids, whether it be branches for swings, homes for tree houses,
or just plain climbing! Finally, they provide a nice retreat on a sweltering afternoon! Now, if you’re still not convinced about huge shade trees, consider a slow-growing species or some of the new compact, columnar varieties. If it’s leaves you’re worried about, ‘Green Pillar’ oaks keep theirs all fall and winter. If insects are concerning you, gingkos, liquidambars and liriodendron are all free of pests. Many shade trees have very fibrous root systems which are quite safe in even tiny lots. When you weigh the pros and cons, I think it’s fairly evident that shade trees are a welcome addition, not only to our homes, but also to the environment. When is the best time to plant them? Ten years ago. (But the second best time is today!)

The Chilliwack Golf Club plays host to 36 of British Columbia’s top professionals and 160 Amateur Golfers, hosting the Chilliwack Open July 18-19. This long standing two day tournament is a fixture on the Vancouver Golf Tour summer schedule. The tourney includes 36 holes of golf over two rounds The Horse Race on July 17 is a fun warm-up event for golfers who come out early, pairing 16 two-man teams in a heads-up competition starting on the first hole. At the conclusion of the first hole and each subsequent hole the team with the highest score (along with ties) will be eliminated. “Saturday evening will feature an over-thetop dining experience that is guaranteed to wow as we will partner with local guest chefs and beverage suppliers from the finest local establishments in Chilliwack,” said Bryan Ewart, general manager at the Chilliwack Golf Club. “Each year we strive to make the tournament better. In 2014 we reduced the field by 20 plus golfers resulting in quicker, more enjoyable golf for all participants.” For fans, a barbecue, Sleeman beer garden and grandstand will be available on both Saturday and Sunday starting at 11 a.m. on the 15th hole.

Mayhem’s original four like their chances
In a league typically dominated by teams from the Vancouver/Surrey area, the Chilliwack’s U-14 Mayhem girls’ fastpitch team has plans to buck the trend. The first girls A-level team to ever play in Chilliwack, the Mayhem are hosting the U-14A Provincials July 24-26 at Townsend Park. As the Mayhem hit the home stretch leading up to the year-end tourney, four of their players reflect on their first provincial tournament
and how far the team has come since that first year in 2010. Kennedy Galley, Mattisen Henrotte, Kyra Wiens and Allie Thiessen have been members of the Mayhem since the team’s genesis in 2010. “When we were Supermites (U-10), it was a lot different than now,” said Kennedy, a center fielder. “We had great players but we were more focused on becoming ball players, learning how to win and having fun. Now we have fun by playing tough, in your face ball and winning games!” The team has consistently improved over the last five years to the point where they are perennial contenders. “We’re very proud of how we have grown over the years,” said catcher Allie Thiessen. “I know that every

player on our team knows we can win. We’re all looking forward to taking a run at the gold medal on our home field.” The Mayhem have seen
great players come and go over the last five years, and have always been able to fill the gaps. New additions to the team for 2015 are fielder
Lexi Robinson, catcher Emma Cindrich, pitcher Sam Carne, and pitcher/ second baseman Sydney Sansregret. Hitting from the left side of the plate, Sansregret is the team’s first true slap hitter. Though she lives in Surrey, Sansregret and her family have made a real commitment to playing in Chilliwack and so far have no regrets. “I love playing for this team”, Sansregret said with a smile. “The players and coaches are awesome and we are doing so well this year. I can’t wait to see how we do this summer.” Rounding out the roster are catcher Hank Soltys, third baseman Emma Brezden and shortstop Veronica Sawatsky. Pitchers Henrotte and Wiens have been throwing
heat for the Mayhem since day one. As they have gotten stronger, so has the team’s overall defensive play. “There is a real sense of confidence around the team right now,” Wiens said while taking batting practice before a big game against the White Rock Renegades. “We feel like we can win every game.” There will be 11 teams at provincials and the top three will earn a birth in the top division to the Canadian Championships in Victoria August 5-9. Henrotte hopes to be there. “We have the pitching, the defense and we can hit with anyone,” she noted. “If all goes well, I like our chances!” Get local fastpitch info online at chilliwackminorfastpitch.com
Sentes seventeenth in Hazelmere Classic Kassel makes marathon mark Chilliwack’s Mathew Sentes finished in a tie for 17th overall at the latest Vancouver Golf Tour event, the Hazelmere Classic. Sentes teed off on Surrey’s Hazelmere Golf Course, carding an eight-over-par 80 in the championship bracket.
He struggled at the start, with a double bogey on the second hole and five more bogeys on the front nine. Sentes settled down on the back nine, with a birdie on 14th and six pars against one bogey (17th) and one double bogey
(16th). A second Chilliwackian, Mathew Lamb, tied for 19th with a nine-over-par 81. Lamb birdied twice, on the eighth and 15th holes. But he double bogeyed 10 and bogeyed eight other holes.
Chilliwack’s Melanie Kassel was the 11th fastest female and 47th fastest overall at last weekend’s Scotiabank Vancouver Half Marathon. 4296 runners participants, including 3934 women. Kassel competed in the womens’ 40-44 age group,
finishing in 1:25:41. Rob Morley was the next fastest local, running in the mens’ 35-39 division and clocking in at 1:50:27. Twenty seven of the 35 Chilliwackians who started the race finished. Find results at sportstats.ca

Death threats over, racing begins Crews have lent each other everything from tires and fuel and virtually every part imaginable before a race, writes Robert Adams Now that the death threats have died down from my last article on drivers who ‘may’ cheat, I will tell you about the good side of drivers. Everyone out there wants to beat his competition on the track, and not because his or her foe was sidelined by a tire problem or mechanical issue. When disaster strikes one of the racers in practice laps, that’s when you see the true racing spirit come to life. It is not at all uncommon for an entire pit crew to be reassigned by their driver or the Pit Boss — to go over and solve whatever issue is

With a few keystrokes you can sample thousands of opinions, aľoat in a sea of information. But as the volume increases, the accuracy and reliability of professional journalism is essential. Gathering and sorting the facts, weighing and interpreting events, and following the story from beginning to end is more important than ever.

keeping a car off the track. Crews have lent each other everything from tires and fuel and virtually every part imaginable before a race. Once the problems are fixed though, and the green flag drops, all bets are off and it’s no mercy. Drivers and pit crews have a soft side, though they don’t like to admit it. On any given race night, you will see them donating money to a worthy cause. They love entertaining the children, providing everything from toys to t-shirts for the fans. Some even donate their
endary driver, winning 2012 and 2013 championships in Alberta. Some of the best racers in the northwest will also be at the track for the Wescar Late Model Series Championship. What makes this pointsseries spectacular is that it visits several different tracks that vary in size, altitude, banking, width, pavement compound, ambient temperature and more. This then makes it incredibly challenging for the driver and pit crew to adjust the car to match the demanding requirements needed to win. As the 2015 season of WESCAR late model touring series continues, it is shaping up to be one of the most exciting and competitive yet. The coveted BC provincial championship will be an epic battle. Returning to defend his title is Korbin Thomas in the Key Welding Impala. Back in the mix is Mark Berriau, a multiple time champion. Logan Jewel has proven he is a worthy adversary with several fast times and podium finishes in 2014. Ian Graham, with back to back wins in the last two races of 2014, is continuing to do well. He placed second in the last outing in Prince George. NASCAR Canadian Tire series driver Ryley Seibert did well at Vernon, capturing third, so expect solid performance from him too. Never to be counted out are the many drivers working hard to take the championship, including 2014 rookie of the year Cam Graham and Prince George winner Dave Olsen. If you could do it, the cars you should be looking at and using as your 6/49 numbers are 18, 19, 09, 71, 4, 27 and the bonus number 33. Get information online at agassizspeedway.com.

CLARKE, VICTOR MILNE Vic Clarke passed away on Tuesday, June 30, 2015 at Waverly Seniors Village at the age of 92 years. He was born July 10, 1922 in Mission, B.C. Vic was predeceased by his wife of 60 years, Doris, in 2009 and brother, Everett in 1992. He is survived by his son Dave Clarke (Shelley) of Chilliwack and daughter, Joan Jarman (Don) of Courtenay. He was “Grandpa” to Deborah Jarman (Mark Winters) and Troy Cooper (Pam). He was “Great Grandpa” to Parker, Ty, Josh and Willow. Vic was the youngest son of Rosa and Richard Clarke and moved to Chilliwack with his family on March 17, 1925. The family crossed the Fraser on The Empress of Chilliwack from Harrison Mills and landed at Minto Landing to take up residence on McSween Road. Vic lived most of his life on Fairfield Island, attending Strathcona and Fairfield schools in his early years. From 1940 - 1944, Vic lived in Vancouver where he attended Brisbane Aviation School, then worked at Boeing Plant #3 on Sea Island manufacturing planes for the war effort. On his return to Chilliwack he worked on the Fraser running boats for the Cartmell family, then became an electrician, working his entire career for M. Dickey and Sons. He married Doris Harker in 1949 and they moved to their small farm beside the Fraser River where they lived for over 60 years. In addition to his lifelong love of aircraft, boats and fishing, Vic was an accomplished amateur photographer and a dedicated reader of non-fiction - particularly local and B.C. history. He loved to garden and was an expert on vegetables and plants, often sharing his knowledge and the fruits of his labour with family, friends and neighbours.
It is with great sadness that the family of Gordon Richard Graham announces his unexpected passing on June 16, 2015 at Chilliwack General Hospital after a brief illness. He was born in Chilliwack on May 17, 1933. His proud parents were Elsie and Wilf Graham, who predeceased their son in 1972 and 2010, respectively. Gordon attended school in Chilliwack until grade 11 when the family moved to Prince Rupert. He entered UBC in 1951, where he met Shirley Carson who became his bride in June of 1954. They were married until August 2012, when Shirley passed away. Gordon is survived by his children Laura Graham (Gord), Mike Graham (Sharon), and Nancy Sharkey (Michael). He will also be fondly remembered by his grandchildren Graham Hendry, and Russell and Rhys Sharkey. In addition to being a loving husband, father and grandfather, Gordon's academic and business accomplishments were exceptional. He graduated from the UBC School of Architecture in 1957 with the Governor General's Medal for Excellence, and in addition, he was the recipient of the BC Electric Traveling Fellowship, which allowed him and Shirley to enjoy a belated honeymoon in Europe that year. He held an architectural position with Wade, Stockdill and Armour in Victoria, before moving to Edmonton for four years where he worked with Diamond - Clarke & Associates as they planned the University of Alberta campus. In 1963, Gordon and Shirley moved their family, Laura and Mike, to Chilliwack where Gordon formed a partnership with Albert Anderson as Anderson and Graham Architects, Inc. His youngest daughter Nancy arrived to join the Graham clan in 1964. Gordon's years as an architect in Chilliwack were very creative and productive; he designed the local Post Office building and many Chilliwack schools and private residences. Under his leadership, the firm flourished, and in 1972 became G.R. Graham, Architect. In 1985, Shirley started working as the comptroller for the office and in the late 70's and early 80's, Shirley and Gordon prospered with a great deal of talent and diligence. During these years, Gordon and Shirley enjoyed many trips to Maui in the winters and spent happy hours renovating and improving the family cabin at Loon Lake, BC. In the year 2000, Gordon and his partners Ron Hoffart and Mark Mathiasen moved the newly-expanded firm of Graham Hoffart Mathiasen Architects to Surrey; it continues to this day, recently renamed as Thinkspace Architecture. Gordon commuted up and down the valley for several years until his retirement in 2002. Gordon and Shirley celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary in 2004 with a cruise to Alaska, which they both thoroughly enjoyed.
Vic was a devoted father who always showed tremendous pride in the accomplishments of his children. He was much loved by his extended family, and he and Doris were always “at home” to welcome friends and relatives from near and far. Visitors often left with a bag of home-grown walnuts, a squash or a box of fresh tomatoes or fruit.
During his career, Gordon had a particular focus on the education sector, designing or overseeing dozens of school projects in districts such as Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Langley, Surrey, and farther afield. He was also fond of the fact that when his oldest grandson, Graham, graduated with his BEd from UBC in 2010, Gordon was able to remind the family that they were members of a unique group: four generations of UBC graduates. He was very proud of his family's academic achievements. Education was a tremendously important element of Gordon's life. He was constantly reading newspapers and watching CNN after he retired. He was a person who kept abreast of world politics, finances and sports - but he loved a good Ludlum, Grisham or Le Carre novel by the pool in Maui or Mexico as well. Gordon also generously supported the G.W. Graham Endowment Entrance Scholarship at the University of the Fraser Valley, named in honour of his late father.
As was his wish, Vic came close to celebrating his 93rd birthday living on the land he loved. His family sincerely thanks all those who assisted him in his last months at home and his last weeks in Chilliwack General Hospital and Waverly Seniors Village. A special thanks to Dr. C. Rose, Dr. R. Jones and the caring team at Magnolia Clinic.
Gordon is survived by his children, their spouses, his grandchildren and his sister Verna (David) Smythe, nephews David Smythe (Katherine), Dan Smythe (Gwen) and great-nephew, Will. There will be a Memorial service for Gordon on Saturday, July 18 at 2 p.m. at Henderson's Funeral Home in Chilliwack. Henderson's is in charge of arrangements. Condolences may be sent online at http://www.dignitymemorial.ca/hendersons-funeral-homes-crematorium.
A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, July 8, at 10:30 am at Chilliwack United Church, 45835 Spadina Avenue. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Chilliwack Hospice Society or the charity of your choice.

Gavin and Everett deliver papers in Garrison Crossing. They do their route three times a week with their grandpa and sometimes their dog Riley. They have a good system and are able to do quite a big route as a team! The door hangers are their least favorite part of doing the paper route because it's hard to get them to stay on, thankfully they don't have to do these every time. The boys both play soccer and the Pokemon trading card game in their free time. They are excited to be attending the World Pokemon Championship in Boston this summer. Gavin has just completed grade 7 at Mt. Slesse middle school. And Everett has just completed grade 5 at Watson elementary.
Congratulations... and keep up the good work! TO BE A PART OF OUR DELIVERY TEAM, PLEASE CALL 604-702-5558.
