WILL FARMERS GET FAIR TRADE DEAL? Local ag community understandably nervous as Canada negotiates the Trans-Pacific Partnership

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON & TYLER OLSEN Chilliwack Times

ritics of a massive new trade deal between Canada and 11 other Pacific Rim countries worry what the effect will be on two important Chilliwack agricultural industries: Dairy and poultry. As International Trade Minister and Abbotsford MP Ed Fast continues to negotiate the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), dairy and poultry farmers say concessions sought by the United States could upend their industries. The TPP aims to lower trade barriers and increase free trade between 12 countries, including Canada, the United States, Japan, Mexico and Australia. And while agriculture is but one small part of this massive trade deal, several reports suggest that the U.S. is asking Canada to abandon its supply management system, which guarantees dairy and poultry farmers set prices for their products, which are distributed by marketing boards. “Our biggest concern is that it is not a level playing field,” Agassiz dairy farmer and BC Dairy Association board member Holger Schwichtenberg told the Times. “We are com-

if it didn’t make “a serious offer on dairy, poultry and agriculture market access.” Chilliwack chicken farmer and city councillor Chris Kloot, however, is confident his industry will survive the negotiations. “Chicken farmers of B.C. support the Canadian government trade policy of expanding market access, improving trade rules and preserving supply management,” he told the Times via email. “This model has been successful through the completion of 12 trade agreements with 43 countries. The claim by some countries that supply managed commodities are protectionist is unfounded. “For example, Canada imports more chicken than six of the other TPP countries combined, including the U.S.” Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl said he has relayed local concerns to Fast on multiple occasions, including this past weekend, and he’s been told they are being heard by Canada’s most senior negotiators on a

regular basis. “Our Conservative Government is committed to defending our system of supply management,” Strahl said in an emailed statement. “Reports that Canada has made particular concessions are false. Negotiations are ongoing. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has stated that we will only sign an agreement that’s in Canada’s best interests.” Speaking to the Abbotsford News Tuesday, Fast expressed hope that a deal could be done that maintained supply management. “We will continue to promote and defend the interests of the supply management system,” he said. “We have negotiated trade agreements with 39 different countries all around the world and supply management has never prevented us from concluding one of those trade agreements and we fully expect the TPP to be no different.” Last Thursday, Bloomberg News

peting against subsidized industries in the States and in Europe. . . . Small family farms will be impacted by something like this if it doesn’t go our way.” In May, the Dairy Farmers of Canada released a statement that called for continued support of supply management, but noted that as talks progress, and trade pressure increases, “the level of anxiety among our farmers and industry partners is also intensifying.” Ray Nickel, the president of the BC Poultry Association, said his industry has been told that supply management “is a high priority and not going to be traded away,” but he added that farmers remain concerned that secret negotiations could do away with the system with little notice. Of British Columbia’s 500 poultry producers, 80 per cent are located in the Fraser Valley. On Friday, Reuters, citing anonymous sources, reported that talks had stalled over agriculture trade rules and that the U.S. is considering excluding Canada from the negotiations

“Our biggest concern is that it is not a level playing field. We are competing against subsidized industries in the States and in Europe. . . . Small family farms will be impacted by something like this if it doesn’t go our way.”

y the time Cedar Rebecca Santanna rides her horse into Chilliwack alongside Kate MacEachern next week, the pair will have travelled from Nipawin, Sask. across three provinces in three months. Santanna joined MacEachern’s own foot journey, The Long Way Home, with the common cause to raise awareness of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Now the two women and their escort drivers are nearing the end of a route that has taken them across more than 2,700 kilometres of Western Canada. “It’s created a lot of awareness, it’s created a lot of unity across the western provinces,” Santanna said. “People have seen a lot of fortitude and people have created a lot of hope, just in watching five women brave every element that there has been to brave.” The duo and Santanna’s daughter Emily Freeman met with snow, hail, rain, wind and extreme heat over their trip. Freeman, 22, also suffers with PTSD. She left the pair to return home to Lethbridge because she had torn tendons in her ankle after riding to Greenwood, B.C. The mother and daughter were on the walk to specifically highlight the fact that the mental illness can affect youth as well, and that there can be intergenerational suffering within households where the disorder exists. “Emily has two effects,” Santanna said. “She was raised in a household with PTSD and then she also unfortunately later suffered a trauma.” When the group arrives in Chilliwack there will be an event hosted by the City of Chilliwack at the airport to welcome them after their journey. Santanna said as the trip comes to a close that they’ve had a fantastic trek with both positive and negative reactions. “There’s been such good

“We have absolutely no association with them at all,” said Rick Austin, executive director of LTRA. “And if they’re using our charity number that’s a concern.” The practice also unsettled local event organizers, who pushed founding director Emmons to provide a legitimate CRA number. That preceded the cancellation of the Chilliwack event in early July, though Emmons had cited lack of funds in the email he sent as notification to the local organization. In a press release Tuesday, Emmons wrote about the difficulties behind building a non-profit organization including acquiring registered charitable status. “Clearly, for Wounded Warriors Weekend Foundation, there are some growing pains yet to work through,” he wrote. “This is work we are prepared to do.” While she was on the road, Santanna heard that she was incorrectly drawn into the “hoopla” that surrounded the cancellation. “Negative is something we try to get people not to focus on,” she said. “So when we’re trying to create such a positive environment, to have negative things happen is disheartening for us.” “We just have to focus and move on.” ◗ On July 24, Kate MacEachern, Cedar Rebecca Santanna and their team will take the Prest Road exit and walk down Chilliwack Central Road, make a left turn at Broadway and end at the Chilliwack Airport parking lot at 4:30 p.m. They will be welcomed by Mayor Sharon Gaetz, and MLAs Laurie Throness and John Martin will be on hand running a barbecue. Many PTSD survivors including veterans, firefighters and first responders will be present.

Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl at the announcement Friday the Vedder Bridge will be replaced.

All levels of gov’t join on new Vedder Bridge BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

he long-awaited and long-rumoured Vedder Bridge replacement project was announced by Chilliwack and Fraser Valley politicians from all levels of government Friday afternoon. Construction will start on the new $12.5 million Vedder Bridge in 2016 with completion scheduled for fall 2018. Funding is split three ways between the municipal, provincial and federal governments. Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl was on hand for the announcement at the bridge alongside Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness, Chilliwack MLA John Martin and Mayor Sharon Gaetz. The project also includes the construction of a roundabout just to the west of the current Vedder Road-Chilliwack Lake Road intersection. The bridge itself will be built to the west of the current bridge, which will remain in operation during construction before it is taken down. The new bridge will still be single-lane, but will be much wider to allow for not

days and there’s been such terrible days and a lot of that symbolizes PTSD,” she said. “So people are able to look at that and go, ‘If these women can do this, I can do that,’ and it gives them help to move forward.” And if one of the ups is finally coming to the conclusion of such a long accomplishment, one of the downs was the cancellation of the Wounded Warriors Weekend (WWW) two weeks ago. Not only was it disheartening for Santanna to learn of the WWW event’s demise, but her organization the N.A.S.H. Project (Neglected Animals Serving Humanity) was also wrongly pegged by local organizers as the provider of a “revoked” charity registration number the Chilliwack group had been told to use by the parent WWW founder, Blake Emmons. “The N.A.S.H. Project has never given a number to Wounded Warriors Weekend Foundation, nor has the Wounded Warriors Weekend to the best of N.A.S.H. Project’s knowledge, used a number,” Santanna said. “Nor does the N.A.S.H. Project have a revoked CRA number.” In fact, it still does not have a CRA number to loan out— N.A.S.H. is registered with Service Alberta as a charitable organization. The charity registration number the Chilliwack WWW branch gave to the Times belongs to the Lethbridge Therapeutic Riding Association (LTRA), a group that provides people with special needs instruction for horseback riding. That group has no connection with the Wounded Warriors Weekend, and their staff were surprised when they received a cheque for $2,500 donated by the Vanc o uv e r Fo u n d at i o n w i t h Wounded Warriors’ name on the stub.

event wasn’t without politicization, as federal Liberal candidate Louis De Jaeger questioned the timing of the project, the lack of consultation with First Nations, particularly the Soowahlie band, and the location. De Jaeger agreed the project was much needed but because as much as 90 per cent of traffic to Cultus Lake goes through Yarrow, he suggested infrastructure in that community, or a bridge near Tyson Road might be a better option. Gaetz said Tyson Road was examined for a bridge but was deemed to be too wide of a spot in the river.

The young group stood in kneehigh water using pulleys and brute force to get an old wrecked engine out of the waters of Airplane Creek. Under the lead of their commanding officer and with a year of planning, the air cadets began work to build a memorial cairn for the crew of Liberator bomber KK241, a Second World War aircraft that crashed into the side of Mt. Welch on June 1, 1945 killing all 11 onboard. They found one of the craft’s engines and hauled shovels, rakes, buckets and concrete down to the site and built a monument to the airmen who lost their lives just 10 weeks before the war ended. “It was very humbling, it was

Dangerous offender law puts Frederickson case in limbo legislation to make it constitutional. Voith did, however, still sentence the man who challenged the law to an indeterminate detention and labelled him a dangerous offender. Donald Boutilier pleaded guilty in 2012 to two counts of robbery, assault with a weapon, two counts of use of a firearm in the commission of an offence, and dangerous driving related to offences that happened in April 2010. The defence argued changes put into place in 2008 under the Conservative government’s omnibus crime bill violated Boutilier’s charter rights because they removed the judges’ discretion over declaring someone a dangerous offender.

This week in court in Chilliwack, and after a back-and-forth exchange with defence counsel Ken Beatch and lead Crown John Hempstead, Grist

decided the Constitutional questions needed to be addressed in the Frederickson case. Without hearing arguments on those issues “we

are doing this as an exercise steeped in ignorance,” Grist said Monday, adding that both the provincial and federal Crown should be notified.

The case was put over to July 20 to fix a date for the final hearing and final submissions on sentencing, tentatively set for November. - with files from the Vancouver Sun

recent BC Supreme Court decision that struck down Canada’s dangerous offender law, calling it unconstitutional, caused considerable uncertainty this week at the sentencing of a Chilliwack man convicted of manslaughter. Steven Frederickson killed Robert-Jan Planje in December 2010 after a night of drinking and drug use at an Ashwell Road residence the two men shared. At the 2013 trial, BC Supreme Court Justice William Grist rejected Frederickson’s argument that he was sexually assaulted by Planje, a small, transgendered individual, the night before the killing.

Grist did find reasonable doubt in the second-degree murder evidence, instead convicting the then 47-year-old of manslaughter. Because of Frederickson’s history of violence dating back to the 1980s, the Crown began the long process of preparing for a dangerous offender designation, which can allow for indeterminate detention in jail. That hearing began in June of this year. Monday in BC Supreme Court in Chilliwack, Justice William Grist expressed hesitation about how to proceed given the decision that struck down Canada’s dangerous offender law. In striking down the law, Justice Peter Voith also gave the federal government a year to redraft the

Could you kill those cubs?

◗ Publisher

f it was your job to shoot two adorable-looking bear cubs, could you do it? Should it be anyone’s job to shoot bear cubs? And once they are given names, is it even remotely possible they could be coldly shot to death? Jordan and Athena are five months old. They are currently under the expert care of the talented and loving staff at the North Island Wildlife Recovery Centre in Errington. They are worldwide media stars, thanks to the compassionate act of a conservation officer. Winnie and Yogi, step aside. A B.C. conservation officer was suspended without pay for failing to euthanize these cubs in Port Hardy. Their mother had been killed after repeatedly breaking into a freezer containing meat and salmon. The bears came looking for their mom and that’s when Bryce Casavant refused the order he was given to shoot and kill the cubs. Many are calling Casavant a hero. The CO also received praise from many people around the province and country. Should the CO keep his job? He declined to do something he was asked to do by a superior. He didn’t follow orders, essentially. Surely it’s OK not to follow an order one believes is immoral, is it not? Or perhaps you believe he should look for another line of work.

A lament for the unreported

he stories that appear in the pages of the Times are those deemed newsworthy by our judgment, and a subjective decision always. As a weekly paper in a growing community that just seems to have more and more going on—both good and bad— our jobs are increasingly curatorial. This gets in, that doesn’t. Our website is a source for many stories that no longer make it into print, but sometimes, frankly, things just get left out. That can be disappointing, so here are seven stories that didn’t make it into the news pages, but that I thought were interesting, sad, curious and/or important enough to make it into print, if even in this brief, annotated kind of way: 1. An Abbotsford man reported missing on May 27 was found dead in the Fraser River off Ballam Road in Chilliwack on July 11. The sad and mysterious case had his family reeling for weeks, wondering what happened to the avid outdoorsman who loved four-by-fouring and mud racing. Chilliwack Search and Rescue helped remove the man and his truck from the river and the family is left with questions. 2. The public backlash to the provincial government’s Water Sustainability

PAUL J. HENDERSON @peejayaitch Act (WSA) and the administration fee of $2.25 per million litres of water for companies like Nestlé, which bottles water near Hope, has led to a change. This week Premier Christy Clark ordered a review of the fees that would allow companies such as Nestlé to bottle 265 million litres of water for less than $600. Chilliwack-based WaterWealth Project was and is on the forefront of this issue, which is ongoing to be sure. 3. A young woman whose mother died of AIDS in Ethiopia and who was adopted into a huge Chilliwack family recently won a $321,000 lawsuit against her sister as a result of a car accident six years ago in Vancouver. Etagegne Renaerts was a passenger in the car on June 12, 2009 when the driver, her sister Eskedar, ran a red light and T-boned another car in the intersection, according to a BC Supreme Court decision issued June 16. Eskedar admitted liability in the accident. Interestingly, and hard to fathom, the Ren-

aerts family at one point had 28 children, according to a 2008 obituary. 4. Consumer Protection BC (CPBC) cracked down this week on Total Body Fitness in Chilliwack for its practice of billing a woman for nine months after she ended her membership without penalty, as promised in her contract. The company was handed an $1,100 administrative penalty and charged $500 to offset inspection costs because the owner would not co-operate with CPBC. 5. As the 37th annual Harrison Festival of the Arts hit its third day on Monday, a man charged after ploughing into crowds at the event in his SUV two years ago did not attend his latest court appearance. I was a witness on July 7, 2013 when Clinton Lee Michaloski (allegedly) crashed his FJ Cruiser onto the sidewalk just metres from the beach stage. I heard the screams from the 37-year-old mother who was hit and thrown into the air at about 1:15 p.m. that day. Also hit was the 51-year-old father and 13-year-old son. The 16-yearold son managed to jump out of the way and could be seen holding his mother’s hand as passersby and later emergency personnel attended to the woman. Michaloski faces three charges each of

impaired driving causing bodily harm and dangerous driving causing bodily harm. His next court appearance is scheduled July 20. 6. The jury trial scheduled to begin this week for the City of Chilliwack employee alleged to have stolen more than $40,000 from the Chilliwack RCMP’s exhibit room instead started with a voir dire hearing in front of a BC Supreme Court Justice alone. I was in attendance when the Crown asked for a publication ban on proceedings, although both the lawyers and the Justice were uncertain whether a publication ban on a voir dire was even allowed for in the criminal code. The ban was granted anyway so I can’t tell you what was said so far. Jamie Tiller, 38, is charged with theft over $5,000 and breach of trust by a public officer. I’ll try to follow the trial once it begins. 7. Did you know the federal election is 95 days from today? Candidates in the new riding of Chilliwack-Hope are incumbent Conservative MP Mark Strahl, Liberal Louis De Jaeger, NDP Seonaigh MacPherson and Green candidate Thomas Cheney. Stay tuned for more on the candidates and election issues in the coming weeks.

Higginson height issue still not solved by developer

Editor: Re: Residents’ complaints heard loud and clear by Paul J. Henderson, Times, July 9. Thank you once again for highlighting the proposed Higginson development. At this time we feel we need to emphasize certain aspects of your story. As stated in your article, following the May 19 meeting, the developer’s proposals were sent back to allow staff and the developer to think again and take into consideration the views of residents. The main concerns of residents were; townhouses; “set backs;” and building heights. Of these three, the first two have been addressed and townhouses have been replaced with single-family homes, the “set backs” have been given a uniform six metre throughout. The developer has attempted to address the height issue by using the average geodetic level of ridges as a datum and building down from there. Unfortunately, this does not address the height issue. At the May meeting many of the concerned residents said height was an issue where light would be prevented from entering their home due to a two-storey building being built a mere six metres from their fence line. Not only would lack of light still be a problem but also loss of reasonable privacy would still exist with the two storey constructions not only for the existing residents but also for the new residents.

Please remember, brevity is the soul of wit. At the May meeting the perfect solution of building single-storey homes around the perimeter was suggested to the developer. I also suggested this same solution at a recent meeting with the developer. Due to financial reasons, the developer was unwilling to adopt this solution. It appears that by selling off building lots there is a quicker and more profitable return for the developer. Unfortunately this does not solve the height issue about which so many viewed their concerns. Philip Hobson Chilliwack

Fed’s paternalistic view has to change Editor: On Friday, I attended an announcement on an infrastructure project years overdue, and honestly I have more questions than answers. It was

staged on the Vedder Trail close to my home, and like most who live on this waterway, I am passionate about the preservation of the Vedder River. I’ve spent nearly two decades on the river running my dogs, connecting with wildlife, talking with neighbours, and attending the yearly sacred salmon ceremony, all within the visual skyline of the notorious Vedder Bridge. With the federal election less than 100 days away, Conservative MP Mark Strahl delivered his portion of the financing needed to replace the Vedder Bridge, via the “Small Communities Fund” from the federal government. Completion date is the fall of 2018, one year before the next federal election. Friday’s rushed announcement is yet another tidbit offered by a federal government to which the voters of Chilliwack-Hope have been loyal, but will this project actually benefit our infrastructure needs? Will building a single-lane traffic roundabout, and replacing the two-lane bridge with another two-lane bridge really remedy the current bottleneck? The City’s engineer stated that eventually Vedder Road will be widened back to Promotory, but it will still need to condense back to one lane to cross the bridge going to Cultus Lake, so are we successfully alleviating congestion? Currently, our municipality has to wait in line with all other Canadian municipalities, and just patiently hope they get selected for any federal

infrastructure funding. I take issue with the current process because of the paternalistic way the federal government views municipalities, yes . . . the absolute lack of respect for my mayor and council, and in general my city. Why do we have to wait until the feds are ready to dole out funds, especially this close to an election, for us to prop them up and tow the party line? Why isn’t funding based on actual need? It’s erratic, and short sighted that we have to scramble to get the money from our provincial partners, then quickly get as many dignitaries together for the photo op, then poof . . . hurry up and wait till 2018. No one wins with a system like that. We also have to scale down what we actually expect in outcomes from the project. Take it or leave it funding lacks respect for our community’s needs. A Liberal government believes in stable, sustainable and predictable infrastructure funding. Our core projects on the municipal level should not be rushed. They should be well planned, and have buy-in from all stakeholders. We shouldn’t have to line-up and beg for funding, or short-cut projects that only go part way to achieving our goals, but that’s what this Conservative government has forced us to do. Louis De Jaeger Candidate for the Liberal Party of Canada Chilliwack-Hope

Cyclists need to show more sidewalk respect

Editor: I am a pedestrian most of the time in Chilliwack and would like to point out to cyclists that your right to use sidewalks is not universal and is, in fact, restricted to part of Yale Road and a couple of other roads. Having spoken to the bylaw enforcement office of Chilliwack municipal hall and a couple of police officers, there is a reluctance to enforce this bylaw. I have had three near misses by cyclists moving at a higher speed than pedestrians should be made to feel comfortable with. The basic rule of rights is that one person’s rights end where the other person’s start. I would say that as a person with a mobility disability and weak bones, a collision with a cyclist would be highly injurious. It would be nice if cyclists could slow down when they approach pedestrians or move to the road. As someone who was previously a cyclist prior to my being diagnosed with cancer, I have a lot of sympathy with cyclists but commonsense and respect seem to be lacking with some cyclists. It would be nice to share sidewalks without issues. John Scanlon Chilliwack

CHILLIWACK TIMES

BY REG TOEWS Greendale MB Church

aving lived in Chilliwack for more than 20 years, I have gotten to know quite a few people. I love running into people and talking together,

catching up on life. People, including myself, age and have to deal with difficult life situations, either personally or in our families. While reading the newspaper I usually find myself looking at the obituaries to see if I know anyone. Death is a very real experience. Having lost a close friend and a young nephew, some years ago, I can empathize with those who are walking through “the valley of the shadow of death.” These experiences can

rock our world when a death is unexpected or even when it has been anticipated. I was left with a significant amount of pain through both experiences. I grieved for others who were closer to the person who died and felt the loss more deeply. Often we can become “stuck” in our loss. The early stages of grief can take away motivation and a desire to live. This is normal but shouldn’t be the place to remain over a long period of time. Being stuck happens when I can’t move on. Taking time to grieve is important. During these tragic life events I hear people ask “Where is God?” Even those who have never agreed that there is a God ask those kinds of questions. They are seeking to get to the meaning of life on this Earth. The Bible has something to offer here. The Psalmist wrote that God is close to the brokenhearted. He, the Psalmist, experienced deep losses in his life—his best friend

was killed, his wife was given to another man, he was hunted by the king. This is a man who understood grief. For him to write that God is close to those who are grieving is significant in that he has actually experienced what he is writing down. He informs us that God is close to those who grieve. I would strongly suggest that in our times of loss, God is there. But we don’t often turn to Him and seek Him in those times. God is closer to us in our grief than at any other time in our life. When you suffer a loss—be it death, divorce, job, financial downturn—do you look for God to come alongside you? He is there. The Psalmist also wrote these words: “Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death (loss), I will fear no evil for you are with me, your rod and your staff they comfort me.” May I encourage you to look for God in time of loss. He can be your comfort and strength. ◗ Reg Toews is a pastor with the Greendale MB Church.

reported that Fast had told its editorial board that Canada wouldn’t sacrifice the deal for its dairy and poultry sectors. “We have said to the supply-managed industry we will continue to promote and defend their interests whenever we negotiate trade agreements, but I think they also understand we have to find a balance that allows the rest of the economy to participate within the global marketplace,” Fast told Bloomberg News. “All issues are open for discussion in negotiations.” Nickel said that while farmers realize that trade deals require compromises, the Canadian poultry industry “can’t sustain a lot more unfettered access.” While other countries argue that Canadian trade barriers block their access to the local market and some commentators say they increase prices, Nickel said the system allows producers to operate without the taxpayer-funded subsidies given to

farmers in other countries. “Consumers are not paying any tax-hidden cost.” He said price disparities are worst closer to the border because American distributors increase supply in order to draw Canadian customers. Nickel said the system also allows smaller farmers to operate and discourages factory-farming practices seen in the U.S. “The fear is that if you start to dismantle our system here . . . it will completely effect the way our economy works,” he said. Nickel worries that the TPP will be a repeat of a previous trade agreement in which a last minute deal gave European producers more access to Canada’s cheese market without consultation with industry. Schwichtenberg reiterated this point. “We are certainly concerned about

it,” he said. “You’ve seen what happened with CETA [Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement], 17,000 tonnes of access was given to the Europeans.” And while Chilliwack chicken farmer Kloot is confident Canada’s negotiations won’t adversely affect his industry, dairy farmer Schwichtenberg’s position veers closer to cautious optimism. “A lot of us with like 100 or 160 cows, small family farms, there is some concern where this is going,” he said. “And governments, as we’ve seen, say one thing and do something else. “It’s of concern but we also are optimistic that our system which is good for the processor, the producer and the consumer will stay intact.” Talks on the TPP are continuing, with another set of talks scheduled for later this month in Hawaii.

going to be put in Thompson Park is something that’s going to be very visible, very accessible,” Lundstrom says of a new monument this engine will occupy. “Not everybody is going to get down to the bottom of Airplane Creek—it’s quite a hike.” Chilliwack’s Legion Branch #280 is heading up the building of the new monument, a project initiated in 2013 when the local 147 squadron found the old cairn memorial facedown in the river. “We thought it would be permanent,” Lundstrom says. “But Mother Nature has a tendency to change

Permanent memorial to be built in Thompson Park Cost of project things.” Isolated in the mountain elements, water and weather had shown no respect for the humanmade tribute. After six years of work on the current project, a large group of supporters and volunteers plans to erect a permanent memorial in Thompson Park. The new monument will list the names and contain the pictures of the KK241 crew, and is meant to have more purpose than its predecessor. “Families have wanted to come

over from England to visit the site where the crash took place,” says Lieut. Ron Shore from the 147 Airwolf squadron. “Unfortunately they’ve always been told there’s no real location they could go to because the accessibility of the memorial cairn that was built in 1983 was still too remote.” He hopes this new creation will help family members have closure around the loss of their loved ones. And unlike some memorials, Shore says, this one will impart history because it contains a physical

piece of the past. “We’re trying to convey to our young people and to the public how important it is, the contributions of our forefathers, the many men and women who fought and died for our country,” he says. ◗ Air cadets meet every Tuesday in Chilliwack at 6:15 p.m. at the Princess Street Armouries starting in September. The 147 Airwolf squadron is looking for new members ages 12 to 18 years. To donate to the Airplane Creek Memorial project, visit gofundme.com/airplanecreek.

The new project has raised $63,000 of the $105,000 budget. Funds raised will cover: ◗ cost of flying members of the families of the men that were lost in the crash from the U.K. for the ceremony on Sept. 26, 2015; ◗ long-term costs associated with the maintenance of the memorial; ◗ commemorative pins to mark the event ◗ benches surrounding the memorial; ◗ purchase and installation of a new flag pole; ◗ cost of the dedication ceremony on Sept. 26, 2015; ◗ The Department of Veterans Affairs has donated $25,000 toward the project. 7065996

New code for cows Animal welfare better protected BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

ll sides seem to be happy with the B.C. government’s adoption of the National Dairy Code of Practice aimed at improving the welfare of dairy cows in the province. The issue of animal welfare on dairy farms garnered national and even international media attention 13 months ago after a video surfaced of cruelty at Canada’s largest dairy farm in Chilliwack. The owners of the farm, Chilliwack Cattle Sales, immediately expressed shock and said they were “devastated by the thought that animals in our care have been harmed.” Regional Crown counsel told the Times a month ago that a decision on whether to press charges against the young men involved would be coming “fairly soon.” Meanwhile, the case highlighted the topic of animal welfare and the Dairy Code announcement July 8 at the BC SPCA Surrey Branch is supported by the BC SPCA, the BC Dairy Association and Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick. The Dairy Code of Practice outlines standards of care and practices for owners and employees on dairy farms across Canada. It includes an array of applicable areas such as animal handling, feed and water, housing, health and welfare management, and husbandry practices.

“We couldn’t be more pleased that this day has come,” BC SPCA chief executive officer Craig Daniell said in a press release. “The B.C. government has listened to our concerns about the humane treatment of farm animals. We are delighted by this new regulation that will improve our ability to protect dairy cattle.” The Dairy Code defines accepted management practices for farmers to use in their daily operations to ensure dairy cows in B.C. are treated with care and respect, each and every day. “As a society, we always need to be working together to ensure all animals in British Columbia are treated with proper care and respect,” Letnick said. The industry is on board, too. “The dairy industry in British Columbia is dedicated to ongoing and continual improvement of animal care practices,” said BC Dairy Association chief executive officer Dave Eto. “As an industry, we expect individual dairy producers to have excellent animal care practices at all times. We are pleased with the announcement today.” Charges under B.C.’s Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act can be laid against anyone who causes suffering or distress to an animal in British Columbia, including owners, managers and employees in the agriculture sector. The maximum penalties that can be levied under provincial legislation against a person who is convicted of causing distress to an animal is $75,000 and up to 24 months imprisonment. There are just under 500 licensed dairy producers in B.C. with the majority of the operations located in the Fraser Valley.

Good news, bad news for The Local Harvest Market BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

he regulatory saga of The Local Harvest Market on Lickman Road continues as city council put a notice on title of the property at its last meeting because of numerous contraventions of building rules and bylaws. There was, however, some positive news for owners Dan and Helen Oostenbrink at the July 7 meeting as city council gave final adoption to the bylaw to rezone the property from agricultural lowland to agricultural commercial to allow for the shop to operate. The Local Harvest is a 30-acre farm and market in operation since 2013 when a number of building improvements were made without proper building permits or formal approval from the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC). The Oostenbrinks’ operation enjoys broad community and council support, in principle, but their lack of approvals led to a number of reactions from city hall. Once ALC approval came in, city staff agreed the land use was supportable but the final adoption of the rezoning was held at third reading until outstand-

ing issues were fixed. Some issues include the fact that building permits were not in place for agricultural buildings being used for commercial purposes, signage, and for a mobile home sited on the property. The regulatory wrist-slapping goes back to the Feb. 3 public hearing to rezone the front portion of the agriculture land to allow for the market store and cafe. At that time, Oostenbrink was told by city council of the mistakes he had made. On the The Local Harvest Facebook, council’s response was described as “righteous condemnation.” “At the time of renovation we felt the costs of compliance too financially prohibitive for an upstart business and choose rather to view our current structure as temporary until the time came when we could afford a building that would meet all building code stipulations.” That, however, wasn’t enough and the business was ordered to undergo a series of steps to come into compliance with the rules. By June 2, city staff said the farm’s timeline to come into compliance was “not considered reasonable,” so a notice on title was recommended.

Locals shut out of Jr. Divot titles

The Fred Wellsby Junior Divot Tour concluded last week with Devin Cutforth of Mission winning the championship invitational round shooting an even score at the Chilliwack Golf Club last Thursday. Cutforth, 15, scored three birdies for his par (72) to win the 13-16 year-old age class by three strokes over Zach Ryujin (75) from North Vancouver who shot an eagle on hole 13. Abbotsford player Kyle Claggett (76) took bronze in the tournament after his three-birdie performance.

Nathania Braun’s grand slam in the team’s first playoff game helped them secure an 8-0 win over Sydney Peninsula. The Shuckers then won a dramatic match against rival north Langley, coming from a 7-2 deficit with a seven-run rally in the last inning (9-7). They eked out a 15-14 win in extra innings against Ridge Meadows to lock down a spot in the finals. Chilliwack faced Ridge Meadows again for the provincial title with another dramatic comeback, climbing out of a 6-2 hole going into the sixth inning to win 8-6. The Shuckers lost only three games in league play and won all three of the season tournaments the team entered.

Arms RACE Greg Laychak/TIMES

Justin Hancock flexes the arm he used to place third in provincials and again in nationals in arm wrestling. BY GREG LAYCHAK glaychak@chilliwacktimes.com

Niche sport gaining popularity

Arm wrestling and wine. It might sound like and unconventional combination, but as Justin Hancock and dozens of other competitors converge on a vineyard in Okanagan Falls this weekend they’ll be pairing the dark fruity flavours of Cabernet Sauvignon with a thousands-year-old sport. Hancock, 32, is a personal trainer

in Chilliwack whose personal history with the sport is a mere three years, and he has packed a lot in during that short time of competing. In mid-May, he won third place right-handed in the 105 kg weight class at the 2015 Canadian Arm Wrestling Federation (CAWF) national championships in Vancouver. That bronze medal was added

to Hancock’s stash of about a dozen provincial and other awards he has earned since a powerlifting injury forced him to find a new way to compete. “I thought, ‘I’ve never tried it, let’s see what there is,’” he says. “I think we were watching some videos { See HANCOCK, page A25 }

Quilting clubs stitch together exhibition

wo of Chilliwack’s acclaimed quilting guilds, with the help of the Chilliwack Community Arts Council, have joined forces to present the Quilts, Quilts, Quilts exhibition. Members of the Chilliwack Quilter’s Guild and the Chilliwack PieceMaker’s Quilting Guild will be showcasing their work starting July 24 at the Art Room. The Quilter’s guild was started in 1985 when Jeanne Harmer, along with two others, hosted the first guild meeting at the Chilliwack Arts Centre. After a lot of hard work and determination, the guild was established and only a year later had a display at Expo ’86. “We were impressive with our ‘can do’ attitude and the bar was set high,” Harmer said. This year marks the guilds 30th anniversary and they are celebrating by hosting a quilting show titled “Three

Decades of Loving Stitches” in October. In 1997 the PieceMaker’s Guild was started to accommodate quilters that could not attend the Quilter’s Guild’s daytime meetings. The formation of this guild has made it possible for quilters with all types of schedules to get involved in the quilting community. Both guilds have approximately 90 members, although many members are involved in both guilds. New members, guests, or anyone who just wants to learn more about quilt-making, are always welcome at both guilds. Guild members have access to workshops, retreats, guest speakers and participation in quilting shows, including the bi-annual Quilt Show Fundraiser. A portion of the funds raised during the quilt show are donated to the ‘We Care’ and ‘Hospice’ Quilt program which benefits charities in the Chilliwack area. ◗ The Quilts, Quilts, Quilts exhibit opens on July 24, and will begin with an opening reception from 6 to 8 p.m. The reception is open to the public and is free, but reservations are required and can be made by calling 604-769-2787. The exhibit runs until Aug. 24 in the Art Room located at 5725 Vedder road, during the gallery’s regular hours.

Sponsored by Great Canadian Oil Change, the 2015 FVCCS returns to the Threshermen’s Association with venerable host Trevor McDonald, who will broadcast his popular 89.5 The Drive ‘Nothin’ but ’70s show live on site from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. before entertaining

the crowd with his own live music throughout the afternoon, covering hits from the 1950s through ’90s. The FVCCS evolved from the longstanding Minter Gardens Classic Car Show, and classic vehicle entries from the 1910s to 1979 are rolling in (visit www.fvccs.ca for more info, or to register). A commitment to domestic and import pure classics sets this show apart from other vintage show and shines. “These vehicles are elegant and authentic as possible, they’re

The event features four classes in both domestic and import, plus the always-popular People’s Choice winner, which becomes the following year’s poster vehicle. McCullough says all generations enjoy the FVCCS because it’s more than just a car show, it’s also a very important link to the past. “Basically, we’re historians. Without people restoring these vehicles how would the younger generation understand how far the technology has come over the years?” McDonald also hosted the 2014 FVCCS, and has been looking forward to this year’s event ever since. “It’s truly one of the best cars shows in Western Canada right here in our own backyard,” he says. “If last year was any

online and I wondered if there were any arm wrestling clubs around.” That led him to the Vancouver Arm Wrestling Club in Burnaby, a group that includes veterans of the sport that runs out of a three car garage at one of the organizer’s homes. “Some of those guys are many times world champions,” says Keith Koenig, president of the BC Arm Wrestling association. “He couldn’t be working with a better group of people in Canada in the sport.” Koenig, a three-time Canadian

Wants to see arm wrestling become an Olympic sport heavyweight champion himself, met Hancock at provincials. “He’s a good competitor and a great guy,” Koenig says. “I think he could do really well, it’s just a matter of him training.” A major reason Hancock keeps making the drive to Burnaby is for that reason: to learn technique and do the practice that builds strength in the areas that actually need work. Though standard gym training is an important part of his regiment, arm wrestling puts strain on joints

and tendons as well as muscles, all at angles the upper body is not used to. And at the end of the day, Hancock says, competitors use everything from the tips of their fingers up to their shoulders and back. Some of the high level arm wrestlers use almost their entire bodies in a match, he says. “I think any sport where there’s physical contact, where there’s potential pain or injury involved could be called a combat sport,” Hancock says, comparing it to jiu

jitsu and boxing. Though still a niche sport in Canada, there is a small resurgence in the U.S. with more big tournaments being televised. This after a lull since the surge in popularity that came with the movie Over the Top starring Sylvester Stallone as a struggling trucker trying to make ends meet with his arm wrestling. Koenig would like to see the sport in the Olympics, hoping for recognition more similar to that in Russia and Europe where pro leagues thrive.

“I think any sport where there’s physical contact, where there’s potential pain or injury involved could be called a combat sport.” - Justin Hancock But for now he and Hancock will have to settle for the modest purse, scenic views and fine wine available at the Okanagan Falls tournament.
