Lights go up to replace flaggers at Vedder Crossing Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Flaggers can no longer be used to cut traffic congestion near the Vedder Bridge or at the Cultus Lake turnoff. Citing safety concerns, Work Safe BC notified the City of Chilliwack this week that the city could no longer use traffic control personnel at the two locations to keep traffic moving during peak hours. “Upon receiving this news, City staff immediately began working on alternative strategies to ensure minimal impact to the travelling public in these areas over the weekend,” according to the news release. During the summer months, the city has regularly posted flaggers to control Cultus Lake traffic, both at the three-way stop at the Vedder Bridge and at the signalled intersection at the Cultus Lake turnoff. “This additional traffic control helps relieve some congestion in the Vedder Crossing area and keeps motorists moving,” said the release. The change is effective immediately. Manually controlled traffic signals were installed at both locations and will be used starting this weekend. The operator of the traffic signals will be positioned “away from the flow of traffic,” thereby complying with WCB regulations. “The City of Chilliwack would like to thank the travelling public in advance for their patience as this new system is implemented.”
Monty Raine of Dickey and Sons Electric installs temporary traffic lights at the Vedder Bridge and Chilliwack Lake Road. The new lights, which will be manually operated, will replace traffic flaggers during peak times. GREG KNILL/ PROGRESS
Chilliwack man charged for dumping in wildlife area Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The Fraser Valley Illegal Dumping Alliance formed last fall to fight the rampant garbage dumping threatening local watersheds. And it’s working. A Chilliwack man was charged under provincial regulations, said conservation officer Steven Jacobi with the B.C. Conservation Officer Service, Fraser Valley zone. “We did charge someone with littering in the Burt Brink Wildlife Management Area,” he confirmed.
David Wilgose of Chilliwack is facing three ticket violations from the one incident. He was charged as part of an intensified effort to apprehend people dumping illegally in the Fraser Valley. “We had pictures of the suspect but it took some time to figure out who he was,” added the conservation officer. Wilgose was issued three tickets for littering under the Environmental Management Act. The fines came to $345 and the incident dated back to July 2014. “It took some digging to find the
suspect,” said Jacobi. Officers had investigated the suspect a few months before in a different area, and there was some suspicion he might commit other environmental violations along the Fraser River. He became a person of interest when officers spotted items that had been dumped and burned in the wildlife area, like household trash, plastic, and paper thought to be from a house move. “It was only when we were reviewing person of interest files together that we figured out who

that people are out there watching.” The education blitz has already significantly boosted the number of calls coming in about illegal dumping to the RAPP line, said the conservation officer. “They have been very helpful in raising awareness of who to report violation to and this has made a difference in our call volume,” noted Jacobi. “We have seen an increase of 60 per cent related to illegal dumping now that more people are reporting violations directly to the COS.”

our suspect was for the dumping,” he said. Rachel Schoeler, operations and program manager of Fraser Riverkeeper Society was thrilled to hear that someone had been charged. The Society’s mission is to protect and restore the Fraser River and its watersheds, with volunteer driven cleanup events and education efforts. “It’s so good to hear that the received enough information to proceed with charges,” Schoeler said. “It means the dumpers will know

Rezoning approved for Local Harvest Market Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A unique farm-based business on Lickman Road is still without a business licence, and the main retail building is not up to code — almost two years after it opened. City of Chilliwack officials have been working with Local Harvest Market for months to bring it into compliance with regulations. The recent rezoning of part of the 30-acre property was a decisive step forward. Local Harvest Market owner Dan Oostenbrink called the rezoning approval “excellent” news. “We’re delighted,” Oostenbrink told The Progress. “Obviously council is supportive and want to see us succeed.” They have been trying to buy some time before being required
to rebuild the modified barn building. “I’m not rebelling. I want to do it,” he said. “But there’s the spirit of the law, and the letter of the law, and then there’s also the human side, which is softer.” Oostenbrink was given until October to resolve the remaining issues, and a Section 57 notice was registered on title at the last council meeting because of the outstanding aspects. Council also passed fourth and final reading of the rezoning bylaw that night, redesignating a section of the property from AL (Agriculture Lowland) Zone to an AC (Agriculture Commercial) Zone. The rezoning was held at third reading but that step was required before a building permit can be issued. What sets them apart is that the
bulk of the fresh produce sold in the market, about 80 to 90 per cent, is grown right in the fields at 7697 Lickman Road. “I don’t know of any other example of anyone growing that amount of food and selling it on-site.” The goal at Local Harvest is creating a “food secure” community with year-round access to healthy produce in season, with some of fresh fruit and vegetable products are grown by other local agri-food producers. “A lot of people think it’s ridiculous that we have to rebuild,” Oostenbrink said, adding that the code requires the same elements to be in place as if they were to build a big box grocery store. The existing building, which houses the retail operations including Magpie’s Bakery, Anita’s Organic Mill and the Curly Kale
Bistro, as well as an indoor market, will eventually be repurposed. But the bulk of the square footage is used for vegetable and equipment storage, as well as washing and packaging produce. The next step for Oostenbrink is submitting plans and drawings for the new structure, so that a building permit can be issued, and construction can begin. The former barn had been modified without the necessary permits. “What is interesting is the city is forcing this upon us, but it will give us the opportunity to operate in a bigger market and a chance offer more product variety in the end,” said Oostenbrink. It’s the timeline that rankles, and the prohibitive cost of rebuilding. They had hoped they’d have until the new year. “They sped up on something

that we wanted to hold off on. We wanted to tread carefully,” said the owner. He mentioned The Candyland example, as a cautionary tale. Continued: HARVEST/ p11
Weekend event invites comment on Cultus plan Sam Bates The Progress
On Tuesday, a crew of Canadian Forces members moved one of the engines from a Liberator bomber plane that crashed into Mt. Welch on June 1, 1945. The engine will be used in a memorial to be placed in Thompson Regional Park later this year. AL BEHMER PHOTO
Engine recovery honours killed airmen Jessica Peters The Progress The engine from a Second World War bomber has been recovered from deep in the Cheam mountain range. It was lifted out successfully on Tuesday afternoon, and placed on a flatbed trailer to be taken to another location. Eventually, it will become part of a memorial for the 11 men who died when their B-24 Liberator bomber KK241

crashed, on June 1, 1945. The British flight crew had left Abbotsford for a navigational exercise, about a half hour prior to crashing into Mt. Welch. An intense search led to the discovery of the crash site near the top of the tallest peak in the Cheam range. The men received a mountainside burial service on July 1, 1945, and efforts have been made in the past to continue to memorialize their service. This week’s extraction of

the engine from the mountainside involved members of the Canadian Forces, and dozens people attended a service in a rural field to watch the engine move from helicopter to flatbed. (See story, “Air crew honoured with new memorial, Chilliwack Progress, July 15.) “It was unbelievable,” said Ron Shore, “to see a piece of history fly in from 70 years ago.” The new memorial will be placed in Thompson Regional
Park, up Chilliwack River Valley, and fundraising efforts for the project are well underway. A ceremony is planned for Sept. 26, which organizers are hoping will include family members of the men who perished in the crash. A Go Fund Me page with more information has been set up to receive donations at GoFundMe.com/ AirplaneCreek.
After several years of community consultation, the Cultus Lake Park Board is ready to reveal the latest draft of the new park plan to guide the next 20 years of development. The comprehensive plan, created in collaboration with the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD), will guide future land use and development, including recreational amenities, services, infrastructure. The guiding document will also address essential environmental concerns and initiatives. Cultus Lake Park invites the public to attend the ‘Planners in the Park’ Open Houses July 18 and 25 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Main Beach. Visitors will have the opportunity to review the PlanCultus Version 2 document, discuss questions with the planners, and voice their input for the future of the park. Community feedback and participation continues to be vital to this operation. “The Park Board wants a plan that’s made by the people,” says Aja Philp, Planner at FVRD. The Open Houses are a great opportunity for individuals to have their say. The upcoming Open Houses coincide with Market in the Park, also at Cultus Lake. If unable to attend, the public can also provide feedback in an online sur vey based on this recent draft until August 7. Visit plancultus.com to access the survey and learn more.

Artist pleads for return of stolen artwork had been stolen. The project, that took him more than a year to create, had been on loan to festival organizers for a few days, taped to rear exterior of the old Home Hardware building. The colourful panel, depicting a hand with a raised middle finger, is believed to have gone missing some time overnight Monday. It measured about one metre wide by 10 metres tall, or 120 by 420 inches.

Wounded Warriors Weekend chief vows to march on Building a non-profit organization is “no easy task,” says Blake Emmons, founder of the Wounded Warriors Weekend Foundation. The foundation is four years old, and was set to hold its annual retreat in Chilliwack for the first time over the B.C. Day Long Weekend. Last Monday, Emmons announced the cancellation of the event here through a Facebook post. The foundation’s website only says that the page is “undergoing maintenance” and no contact information is available. This week, Emmons responded to questions from The Progress with a written statement. “Creating a structure for the board of directors, acquiring registered charitable status, and developing long term fundraising strategies takes time and dedication,” he explains. “Clearly, for Wounded Warriors Weekend Foundation, there are some growing pains yet to work through.” Emmons and his board of directors had big hopes of holding a weekend retreat in Chilliwack for 250 military veterans, law enforcement officers and first responders who have suffered wounds (both physical and psychological) as a result of their service. The first three years helped about 700 people suffering from PTSD and other work-related injuries, and offered the weekend at no cost. He was looking for somewhere between $350,000 and $600,000 to host the event here, organizers had told The Progress previously. It’s unclear how much money was raised locally, however, there
were several fundraising events held in town over the past months. The Province of B.C. donated $25,000, and has been assured it will receive a refund of those taxpayer dollars. Emmons told a local radio station that people who donated can expect a tax receipt in February. Not possible, says the Canada Revenue Agency. Only registered charities are permitted to issue official donation receipts for the gifts they receive, said Magali Deussing, a CRA Media Relations Advisor and Spokesperson. Reports had emerged that the WWWF was using another registered charity’s number. The CRA said that while confidentially restricts them from commenting on specific cases, both the WWWF and the organization’s that they reportedly were using “are not registered Canadian charities.” But not being a registered charity doesn’t
mean an organization can’t ask for money. In fact, anyone can ask for donations, Deussing points out. But what they can’t do is issue any tax receipts, and on this point the CRA is very strict. “The CRA takes abuse of Canada’s tax laws very seriously,” Deussing said. “When registered charities and other taxpayers do not fully comply with tax legislation relating to registered charities, it jeopardizes the integrity of Canada’s tax base by placing an unfair burden on law-abiding taxpayers and businesses, as well as jeopardizing the integrity of the charitable sector as a whole.” Organizations also cannot share charitable status. “The practice of sharing charitable status is illegal, Deussing said. “Where the CRA becomes aware that a registered charity has inappropriately lent its registration number to a
When deciding to donate or volunteer, the Canada Revenue Agency advises you: 1) Confirm that the organization is a registered Canadian charity or a qualified donee and therefore eligible to issue official donation receipts in order to claim a tax credit. To confirm that an organization is a Canadian registered charity, go to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) Charities Listings. 2) Learn about the charity. Start by visiting the charity’s website to learn about its activities and how it’s managed. Review its financial information and activities by looking at its Registered Charity Information Return on the Charities Listings. One of the best ways to learn about a charity is to volunteer. 3) Beware of donation schemes that promise you returns greater than your donation. The CRA strongly advises that you not participate in donation schemes or illegal tax filings. 4) Take action. Write cheques payable to the charity, not an individual, or make sure that your online payments are secure. 5) Refuse to donate if there is inappropriate pressure to give immediately, or if there are signs of fraud.
non-registered entity for the purpose of issuing receipts, we will take all appropriate compliance action.” Emmons’ email this week does not answer any of the questions posed to him by this newspaper. On a recent radio interview, Emmons advised anyone wanting their money back to contact the local organizing committee. However, without an event to hold here, that committee has now disbanded. Emmons was asked if the event was cancelled for financial reasons, and how much the shortfall was for fundraising. “The weekend retreats, which have occurred annually since 2012, have been successful because of the sheer determination of volunteers, sponsors and supporters,” he said. “Despite a valiant effort on behalf of the Chilliwack committee, the fundraising and organizing challenges for this year proved insurmountable. In order to guard the well being of the participants, and the integrity of the organization, the directors made the heart-wrenching decision to cancel the 2015 event.” He was also asked what would happen to the funds raised locally, but did not address that question. He did state that his foundation would continue to work toward its goal. “In the coming months we will take the necessary steps to move forward with our development, to ensure that we will be here in the future to support those who have served so honourably,” he said. He did not provide a contact number for anyone with questions about their partnerships or donations.
The CRA’s mandate does not include regulating organizations that are not registered with them, Deussing said. If the public has con-
cerns that an organization not registered with the CRA is misrepresenting itself as a charity, they recommend contacting the local authori-
ties, the Canadian AntiFraud Centre, or filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau of Canada. jpeters@theprogress.com

Jeff Nagel The province has declared a level 4 drought in the South Coast and Lower Fraser areas due to low stream flow conditions as extreme dry weather extends to more parts of the province. Invoking the highest drought alert level means broad conservation efforts are expected, while major water users could face temporary restrictions and freshwater fishing could be banned on many streams. “We need everybody to be focused on conservation and taking the correct measures,” said Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson. Angling is already banned in many streams in the Southern Interior and on Vancouver Island, where a level 4 drought alert has already been in place.

Patience a driving virtue
The Chilliwack
Progress
R AESIDE
With the crashes seen lately on Chilliwack’s highways and arterial roads, and even the fender benders on the commute and in parking lots, it’s clear something is happening. We wonder if drivers’ attention spans are diminished this time of year or if some more scientific reason exists for what seems to be an increased number of traffic incidents. For certain, at this time of year many of us are anxious to get to our destinations, whether it be work or shopping, heading out for holidays or travelling to the homes of friends or relatives for an evening or weekend barbecue or gathering. Regardless of the journey’s end, it’s worth taking a little extra time to plan ahead for the travel, whether it be the route you’re taking, the time you depart or a combination of the two. Both can pose challenges with more people on the roads, and create unnecessary stress that often leads to aggressive and unsafe driving actions. On the highways and roadways that link Chilliwack, we’ve all seen people passing when it’s unsafe, driving at overly high speeds or tailgating, to name a few indiscretions. If no crash or mishap occurs as a result of such behaviors, the people victimized by such aggressive driving can count themselves lucky. But that’s not always the case. As the popular bumper sticker states, “Failure to plan on your part does not dictate an emergency on my part.” How true. Demonstrating patience is not necessarily taught by driving schools or listed in any handbook, but it’s a critically important aspect of defensive driving. For those of you who are in the midst of helping teach young people to drive, it’s a perfect opportunity to point out what not to do on the roads. Keep an eye on the road ahead, including the traffic directly in front of you, and scan side to side, in case you’re going to miss the traffic light. Anticipating what other drivers are going to do, or could do, will go a long ways toward ensuring the safety of yourself and any passengers you might have in the vehicle. At the very least, remember to breathe when behind the wheel. You’ll get there eventually, even without driving like a knucklehead. ~ Black Press

New Horizon shines a light on distant Pluto On Tuesday, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft kept its date with the dwarf planet Pluto and, from that first photo on, space scientists have been gobsmacked. From just 7,750 miles (some 12,700 km) above the planet’s surface, New Horizons revealed that Pluto is a landscape of icy mountain ranges matching the Rockies with ice peaks some 11,000 feet high with canyons, hummocks and hills and features that, said scientist John Spencer, “looked really strange…like piles of stuff with grooves on it.” Its surface is covered in nitrogen, ice, and methane ice. The commute to Pluto tops the extreme adventure records. Launched on January 19, 2006, it’s been a three-billion-mile (nearly five-billion-kilometre), journey taking 9.5 years. And,
get this: it took about one minute less than calculated to arrive at its closest approach point to Pluto. Talk about exact science! New Horizons hit the bulls-eye space window – a mere 60 km by 90 km between the dwarf planet and its largest moon Charon - right on target. Margaret Charon is also EVANS yielding secrets with a strange dark spot already nicknamed “Mordor” from Lord of the Rings stories, a 10-kilometre deep canyon and a series of troughs and cliffs that extend over 960 kilometres. We know so little about Pluto that we don’t even know its size. Until now. It is 2,370 kilometres
in diameter, a bit bigger than first thought but still only 18.5 per cent the size of Earth. Pluto is so far out there in our solar system that it takes 248 Earth years to orbit the sun. In perspective, the little planet was first sighted in 1930 by 24-year-old research assistant Clyde Tombaugh when working at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona. That was nine years before the onset of World War II. Yet, since Tombaugh’s discovery, Pluto has only made it one third the way around a single orbit. When this tiny pinprick of light was discovered, a competition was held to give it a name. Eleven-year-old Venetia Burney won with her suggestion of Pluto because the mysterious planet was so far away, like a God of the underworld. Walt Disney, capi-

talizing on all that excitement, named his goofy cartoon dog after the distant planet. New Horizons, the size of a grand piano, is the fastest spacecraft that has ever been launched. It zipped through space and hurtled toward the Pluto system at more than 30,000 mph (some 48,000 kph). On board is something really special – the ashes of Clyde Tombaugh. His name has been given to that huge white heart-shaped patch of “frost” in Pluto’s southern hemisphere – Tombaugh Regio. What it is and why it’s so white and large, NASA doesn’t know yet. When New Horizons phoned home at 5:52 p.m. PDT Tuesday to announce its arrival and start sending data, standing ovations broke out at mission control at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laborator y in
Maryland. No doubt corks flew off champagne bottles too. But it will take upwards of 16 months for all of that data to be sent back to Earth. No high speed Internet out there. Data will come in at an agonizingly slow one kilobit per second. A kilobit (spacecraft communications speak) is only 125 bytes. Pluto is the last in NASA’s $700 million quest to explore all the solar system’s planets. The first was the fly-by of Venus in 1962. Then, of note, Tuesday July 14th was the 50th anniversary of the first ever close fly-by of Mars by Mariner 4 in 1965. Already, New Horizons is millions of kilometres beyond Pluto and heading for the Kuiper belt, a debris field at the edge of the Solar System. How cool is that?

Dairy code brings peace of mind Re: ‘Dairy Code raises expectations around cattle health and welfare’ Chilliwack Progress July 10 I am glad to hear that these poor, gentle, voiceless, milking cows and their well being, are now being watched over by the BC SPCA and the farm animal corporations. When I first saw the video, I just could not believe the way these sweet animals were being abused by the so-called civilized nation such as Canada. Now at least many would understand that it has got nothing to do with the country’s name. But it all comes back to the uncivilized barbarians who live in the country. The way these dairy farmers mistreated the gentle voiceless animals kept me thinking how ruthless and evil vicious peo-
ple living among this place called British Columbia. (In fact after watching that video, I had many sleepless nights and could not get over the horror I witnessed.) I completely stopped consuming milk. I’d rather die than drink the milk squeezed out of such innocent, helpless animals while committing heinous crimes against their welfare. These cows are very intelligent (even though some people don’t believe it so). I grew up having a mama cow and a baby cow and they were our family. When they passed away we were devastated and we had no more milking cows because we could not bear the pains to see them die. (More over we are vegetarians and only thing we did was to drink milk and con-

Why give unnecessary sufferings, unspeakable mental and physical damages to these sweet cows are beyond me. I am glad to hear that the stiffer fines and the jail times are evident for these barbarians in B.C. who are violating the animal welfare and their rights. May be after reading your article I can sleep well, though. It felt like a huge weight was lifted. Manel Dias

Bridge funding process questioned 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. 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 cur-
rent bottleneck? The city’s engineer stated that eventually Vedder Road will be widened back to Promontory, 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 photoop, 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 buyin 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. Liberals believe in economic growth through infrastructure. We will invest in affordable housing, public transit and transportation, climate change, and smart cities. We believe that we must invest in our cities and towns to attract new businesses, and new jobs. Our municipalities
should be ongoing projects, stabilizing funding with growth. We will develop a new revenue source, dedicated and delivered to local government. Chilliwack-Hope has two fundamentally different choices this coming election. To reward the current MP, and this Conservative government based on meagre and minimum investments in our riding, or elect an experienced entrepreneur who will be a knowledgeable advocate, while representing in a fair way all of our stakeholders. Building bridges takes courage, vision and leadership. One must have a willingness to communicate and work in partnership to build on common goals. It’s time for leadership at the senior levels of government that has the strength to bring us together and offer a new hope, and real change in how we govern and grow as communities.

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.
Friday, July 17, 2015 The Chilliwack Progress
News Trail day Sunday in the Eastern Hillsides Jennifer Feinberg
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.)
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.
How can I avoid getting invoiced for a false alarm? Ensure that your security company calls you first in the event of an alarm. Thank you for taking steps today to ensure you minimize false alarms. Please visit chilliwack.com/falsealarm for more information.

The Progress Everyone is invited to a community trail-building day on Sunday, July 19 on Allan Road. Members of the Chilliwack Park Society have been planning the trail day as their community kickoff, said society spokesman Marc Greidanus. “We are expecting a bigger turnout this Sunday, including some prospective politicians, and hopefully some community members,” he said. Volunteers have started the initial trail work with an eye to creating a network of trails in the hillsides as part of the Chilliwack Community Forest Project, in partnership with
City of Chilliwack. So far they’ve roughed in a 2.5 km loop trail for beginners, and will be starting on a 7 km trail. An access road up to a picnic shelter has been completed and the beginner loop has been flagged and is ready to be cleared. “This next piece of trail we have planned, and the piece we just completed, relies heavily on the expertise of the Fraser Valley Mountain Bikers Association,” he said. FVMBA president Ernie Kliever of Chilliwack has been “a real force for sustainable trail building” in Chilliwack and the Fraser Valley, Greidanus added, and will be involved in future
events. Kliever has been spearheading the effort to put in a new alpine trail on Spencer’s Ridge, between the Canadian border peaks and Mt. McGuire peak. “It will take a few years to be fully realized, but once the trail is complete it will put Chilliwack on the map with respect to alpine biking.” Join the trail builders on July 19 at 51996 Allan Road at 1 p.m. Bring some water, gloves, closed-toe shoes, a shovel or pick if possible, and some friends.

For the record... A story on The Fever, a band set to play opening night of Party in the Park had the wrong date printed in Wednesday’s Chilliwack Progress. In fact, the Party in Park kickoff at Chilliwack Central Park is on Friday, July 17. The Progress regrets the error. A story about the memorial that ran in Wednesday’s Progress noted the 147 Air Cadet Squadron will be taking part in caring for the memorial. Officials said that no plans are in place for the cadets to be caretakers of the memorial.

News Low flows may mean more fishing bans FLOW from page 7 closure. (For details on closed streams see http:// www.env.gov.bc.ca/fw/fish/ regulations/) Low stream flows and higher water temperatures mean fish like rainbow trout are at greater risk of dying if caught and released. “Some streams are approaching extremely low discharges and temperatures as high as 25 degrees,” provincial fisheries manager Mike Ramsay said. “Under these conditions, fish seek cold water refuges
conservation plan. At level 4, the province can use its authority to reduce the allowed water consumption by lower-priority water licensees in favour of others. That could affect some industries and agricultural businesses. A further step could be the use of the Fish Protection Act to temporarily limit water use by all other users. That’s only ever been invoked in 2009, when a long dry summer threatened kokanee salmon populations in the Upper Nicola River.
and become vulnerable.” Fish kills have happened on tributaries of the Similkameen and Barriere rivers, according to provincial officials, and some fish were stranded in an area of the East Kootenays. Ramsay noted most B.C. rivers and streams remain open to recreational fishing and no lakes are closed. The level 4 drought declaration is different from municipal water restrictions stages, such as Metro Vancouver’s current water use restrictions, which are at stage 2 of the region’s
Clamping down on trash dumpers TRASH from Front Anyone who catches trash dumpers in the act is asked to call the RAPP line. Never confront or approach them, but let the COS take care of it after recording the details. “We want people to report these things, but we also want them to stay safe, so we always say to never put yourself in a situation where you may get hurt,” said Schoeler. Alliance members have been trying to get the word out on a broad scale that there’s zero tolerance for dumping. More signage is coming this fall for five new locations, with the RAPP line emblazoned on it. “That way people concerned about illegal dumping can put the number right into their phones,” she said. The Alliance is bringing together diverse groups to fight the trash dumpers, includ-
ing: City of Chilliwack, Chilliwack-Vedder River Cleanup Society, Conservation Officer Service of B.C., Fraser Riverkeeper Society, Fraser Valley Regional District, Fraser Valley Salmon Society, Great River Fishing Adventures, Woodtone and more. Here are some tips for making a report: • always take note of the date, time and location of the garbage dumping incident • record physical description of the suspect, vehicle and plates • report by calling the RAPP line at 1-877952-RAPP (7277) If the dumped items include hazardous chemicals, unmarked containers or other materials that may have come from an illegal drug lab, again, don’t touch any of it and call the fire department at 604-792-8713. If anyone is exposed to chemicals, call 911. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno
Harvest market rezoning okayed HARVEST from page 3 Candyland saw a building hastily constructed on Luckakuck Way for a tourism attraction that never got off the ground. The property was eventually purchased by City of Chilliwack. Since the last council meeting, the owners of Local Harvest Market hired an architect to design a new 5000-square foot building. “That kind of space will give us real freedom. We could not have anticipated that we were going to get the Agricultural Commercial rezoning approved,” said Oostenbrink. Coun. Sam Waddington emphasized the city is not trying to be “punitive,” and the steps they’ve taken to date should give all parties some reassurance, even the Section 57 notice registered on title. “Since it is a good local business, we didn’t want to shut it down. “But the rules are there for a reason,” he said. “We’re open for business, but not at all costs.” Council voted in favour of the rezoning but they opted to offset it to some degree by registering notice on title, which indicates there are still issues outstanding, he noted. “But the longer this building stays noncompliant, the longer it continues to both set precedent and pose a benign risk to customers, and other businesses in the community,” said Waddington. They don’t want to create an “unfair playing field” with how they proceed. “We’re trying not to be punitive, but at the same time for reasons of public safety and fairness, they need to come into compliance,” he said.

and fabulous food gardens? Well here are 10 tips that will help revive your plants. No plants are immune in this heat, so within the water restrictions of your area, water everything as deeply as you can. This is especially true for plants against your home on the south or west side and yes, even your shade and flowering trees. Trees are more important than we realize and at the moment they need some extra help from us. Cedar and other hedging plants are shallow rooted and they have been under extreme stress. Use a soaker hose and leave it run until the water penetrates down to the roots. If you have to hand water, use a 1000 hole nozzle and water thoroughly and deeply to saturate the roots. This is critical. All our rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias and other broadleaved plants are also shallow rooted and need water as soon as possible, especially around the drip lines. A 3” (7.5cm) layer of fir or hemlock bark mulch would help hold in the moisture. Many of our fruit trees are dropping fruit because of moisture stress. Some apples are even scalding or burn-
ing. A deep watering around the drip line is very important. Small fruits, like currants and gooseberries, and especially blueberries, need immediate watering and monitoring. Containers and baskets: We’ve been watering so much and leaching all the nutrients out of Brian the soil, MINTER our plants are starved. Double feeding is now in order. First apply some slowrelease fertilizer, like Osmocote 14-14-14 and then after each watering, feed with a 20-20-20 liquid fertilizer. You may also have to pinch and prune back tired foliage and blossoms, but in ten days you will get some amazing results. Only water containers when they dry out, and then water thoroughly. Feed right after a thorough watering – definitely not when plants are dry. As for garden colour, heat lovers, such as zinnias, petunias, sun-loving coleus, portulacas and rudbeckias, perform best and are still in fairly good supply. It’s too

early and too hot for fall pansies. So many of our early ripening tomatoes are going black on the ends. This problem is called ‘blossom end rot’, and it is caused by a calcium deficiency. The easiest solution is an application of lime (approximately a handful) around the perimeter of each plant. Already we have mildew on our cucumbers and squash simply because we let water get on their foliage. Remember to water the roots only, not the leaves. Cut off the worst affected leaves and for the rest, treat with garden sulphur or ‘Defender’ if you wish to stay organic. This should be done weekly until the problem is cleaned up. The cute little white cabbage moth flitting about, particularly around your brassicas, will be laying eggs and subsequently their larvae will be devouring the leaves. Try the organic BTK as a weekly spray, and it will keep all your cabbages and cauliflowers clean. If you’ve grown garlic, now is the time to harvest. Lift it, cut the stem back to 3-4” (7-10 cm) long and let it dry out in a cool dark room with good air circulation. It is ready to eat fresh, but save some cloves for planting in September. We’re still early in the year for replanting food and flowering plants. All mid-season vegetables can be planted now as well as all lettuces, spinach and beets, etc. Starter plants are best, but some can still be planted from seed.

Progress Jessica
Peters 604.702.5575 • jpeters@theprogress.com
Couple lets classic cars take front seat Jessica Peters The Progress One day, Shirley McCullough headed out to grab some club soda, and came home with a Honda CRX. “I remember calling Harv and saying, ‘you’d better get down here,’” she says. The couple laughs over the memory of that day, while sitting in the summer shade on their porch in Chilliwack. She kept the speedy little car for 24 years, but it’s just one of many she’s cherished over the years. “I never did get that club soda,” she says, with a knowing smile. Harv smiles too, recalling that day in the mid ’80s. It wasn’t the first time Shirley had fallen in love with a car – and it’s a feeling they both know well. Right from the start, Shirley was a car girl. Growing up in a house full of brothers, it was bound to happen. “They were all into cars and it was in my blood,” she said. “My cars were always sporty, upbeat, and they had to be cool cars.” She drove an MGB, a 544 Volvo, a Rapier, and the list goes on. But the Volvo may have been her true love. “Oh, I loved that car,” she says. “It was built for rallies with a really long stick shift. Just built to drive.” The McCulloughs didn’t meet until they were in their early 30s, but they were on the same journey as car buffs all along. While Harv ended up in carpentry, eventually becoming a Dean at UFV’s Trades and Technology Centre, he did start out with the hopes of being a mechanic. As a young man, he bought cars, fixed them up, and sold them again. So to pinpoint a favourite car, or even a first car, is a little more difficult. But he knows he loved them all. “Every car I fell in love with, otherwise I wouldn’t buy it,” he says. But if he had to choose, he says, it would be the ’67 Cougar XR7 or the ’63 Ford Galaxy. “That was a sharp car,” he says, of the Ford. There’s a lot to be learned about each car’s history. Some are more rare than others; others are as temperamental as they are beautiful. Some just beg to be driven every day, others only come out of the garage when the conditions are perfect. But every collector car requires tender loving care. And being a car collector is made that much better when you know how to tinker with them, Harv adds. “It’s more fun if you know how they work, and you can tune it up,” he says. In the McCullough’s garage, that’s Harv’s job, while the finer details go to
Shirley and Harv McCullough and their 1966 S-Type Jaguar – just one of three collector cars they have on the road. More than 150 cars are registered for Sunday’s Fraser Valley Classic Car Show at the Atchelitz Threshermen’s Association’s site in Heritage Park.
Shirley. And there’s no crankiness allowed. “In this hobby, you have to have a sense of humour,” Harv says. “You shouldn’t be in this if you get easily frustrated.” Right now, they have three collectors on the road, a dark green 1976 MG Midget, a spiffy red 1965 MGB MK1, and a 1966 S-Type Jaguar, that just gleams in silver and chrome. They’re looking forward to taking part once again in the Fraser Valley Classic Car Show this Sunday, for which Harv is the show boss. This is the second year the show has taken place at the Atchelitz Threshermen’s Association’s site, after decades of success at the now-closed Minter Gardens in Rosedale. They still remember the first time they attended the car show, many years ago. “We fell in love with the show,” Shirley

says. “The camaraderie, the sharing of stories, the kibitzing back and forth. We said, ‘we need to a part of this.’” “We did fall in love with it,” Harv adds, and that passion meant finding a new location two years ago was the highest priority. Their car club meets monthly at the ATA site, and one day, they looked around and realized they were meeting in what was the next perfect fit for the show. Everything has clicked nicely into place since then, and a sponsorship form the Great Canadian Oil Change corporate office means that registration is free for car owners, and there are no admission fees for viewing, either. Last year, more than 4,000 people walked through the site to admire the cars. This year, Trevor McDonald returns to the stage, where he’ll live host his Nothing But ’70s Show, for 89.5 The Drive.

vendors on site, including Grama’s Kitchen, and the Spinners and Weavers will be set up, demonstrating their skills as they did last year. This time around, there will be face painting for the kids, and Shirley adds that families are most welcome to come along for the ride. Car shows are not just a retreat for men, she adds. More and more women are finding their place among the rows at car shows. Shirley said the car community is welcoming, especially if you’re outgoing. “I’ve always put myself out there,” she says. “I’m just one of the guys!” More than 150 cars are registered for Sunday’s show, and the gates open at 10 a.m. for the public.

A resident of the Chilliwack River Valley said she is concerned about seeing far fewer mountain goats these days above Lindeman Lake. Post Creek resident Eileen Brader is asking trail users and trail builders to use extra caution when hiking in the alpine regions above the timberline. “I have lived in the tiny community of Post Creek in the Chilliwack River Valley for 12 years and all that time we have enjoyed watching the mountain goats on the rocks above us — until this year,” she told The Progress. “All the goats have disappeared.” She ran into a group of hikers from UBC a few years ago who were building a trail above Lindeman Lake on Porcupine Ridge. “I followed the trail myself and found it very beautiful, full of goat trails and incredible views and I never once thought of the potential damage it may one day do.” The unofficial trail became very popular with hikers and was extended to Williams Peak. “I was astounded when during this mild winter I found folks hiking it. When spring came around and the goats no longer pranced with their young on the rocks above us, it saddened me,” she said. With funding coming through for various trail building efforts of late, Brader is asking those involved in Chilliwack’s back country to consider the needs of wildlife when roughing in and clearing for new trails. According to the province, about half of the world’s mountain goats are in B.C. “With social media spreading the word on new trails and the beauty of the back country, I think it will become more and more important that we all consider what we are doing to the environment, the once protected species and species at risk that live in what was once a safe and inaccessible wilderness,” she added. Coun. Sam Waddington, who is also a member of Chilliwack Trails Society, agreed with Brader about the need to be extra mindful about wildlife. He also suggested the hot, dry weather conditions might be a factor in why fewer mountain goats can be spotted in the user-created trails. Since mountain goats were almost hunted to extinction in the past, there have since been efforts put in place to address the situation, he said. Parts of the higher levels of terrain have been designated a mountain goat overwintering area. Attempts were put in place to limit logging and resource extraction, as well as motorized recreation, like ATVs in some areas. “All that said, when we build trails, we have to be very mindful of that as well,” Waddington said. While it’s rare to see the shaggy, white goats on Mt. Cheam or the west side of Lady Peak, it’s not uncommon to see them on the east side, or on the rest of the Cheam ridge extending to Foley Peak, he said. But on the section above Lindeman, which is a spur off the Lindeman trail, Waddington said he hadn’t spotted any goats either, blaming it on the low snow pack and warmer temperatures this spring. “There could be a few things at play. The hot, dry weather has affected animal behaviour, and the goats are no different. “And while this is their range and where they live, it’s also true that human-shy animals like mountain goats will move into other areas to find more suitable conditions.” One year might not be indicative of anything in particular, since goat populations have been on the rise in recent years. But at the same time, there’s a delicate balance at play in the high alpine, and more education and signage might help in raising awareness. “People who explore the back country and mountainsides need to take ownership and pride in everything it has to offer,” he said. “When they do that, they will also tend to work toward protection, and conservation of wildlife and their habitat.”

Supporting a person with dementia who is living at home requires caregivers to get support from family and friends and help navigating the formal health care system. “People cannot travel the dementia journey alone,” says Jude Weir, the Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s Support & Education Coordinator for Chilliwack & Hope. “Tapping into a support network is vital.” To help the many Chilliwack family caregivers who need to do just that, the society has created a specific workshop called
Accessing Services. Designed for local residents who are supporting a person with dementia, it comes to Chilliwack on Saturday, July 25. The free two-hour session will review strategies for accessing support through a variety of sources in the community, from family and friends to the health care system. The session will also explore challenges that can arise when making the decision to access ser vices and support, and offers strategies for working with service providers and act-
ing as an advocate. Accessing Ser vices runs from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. on July 25 at Evergreen Hall’s Slesse Room, 9291 Corbould Street. Pre-registration is required, by calling 604-702-4603 or e-mailing info.southfraser@alzheimerbc.org. The workshop is free. More information on Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, as well as resources for living with their impact, are available by visiting www. alzheimerbc.org.

Alive Outside & ADULT CARRIERS NEEDED! Keep your cool while hot weather hiking YOUTH Discover a great way to earn extra money This summer certainly has wasted no time in turning into an absolute scorcher! With temperatures seemingly sustained in the high 20s and 30s it is easy to put off getting outside and instead settle into the air-conditioned comfort of a couch somewhere. Although this might be tempting, I am of the mindset that the heat simply changes how we play outside in the summer, rather than limits it. In early July last year hiking enthusiasts were postponing trips on peaks in the Cheam Range and in Manning Park, because snow was still covering much of the trails. This year the Cheam route, and many other alpine trails were accessible as early as late May. So if summer has come almost two months early we should probably find some decent ways to live it up large in the outdoors and have an extended summer to remember. Given our location in this coastal rainforest, even when the skies have refused to rain for weeks on end and the rivers run a little slower, the dense foliage of the forest retains its moisture and passes that cooling effect on to those of us who choose to travel there. Many of Chilliwack’s popular hikes would fall within this
kind of terrain, and so they continue to make for great evening and weekend outings, whether that is a fitness run up Mt. Thom or a family outing to Bridal Falls. I would like to share a few tips from other parts of the world where our current weather is their norm, rather than the exception like it is for us. This list is one that I honed in while I was living in Egypt and yet still trying to get into Sam the mountains. To WADDINGTON beat the heat: • Plan your outing for early in the morning or in the evening. Avoid being out at mid-day. • Adults who are exerting themselves in the heat should be drinking one litre of water per hour. Always bring more than enough water. • Cover your head. Keeping the sun off of your head and face will help regulate your temperature. • Wearing long sleeve shirts that are light and breathable are actually cooler than T-shirts and tank tops when you are in the sun. • Take long breaks in the shade
or where there is a breeze and allow your core temperature to drop. • If you suspect heat exhaustion or heat stroke cool yourself off as fast as possible. Jump in a creek, or wet your shirt and allow a breeze to wick the moisture. • Choose an appropriate trail for you and your company’s skill level. Spring and fall are great seasons to really push yourself and try a long hard trail, mid summer… not so much. Hopefully some of these tips will help you to get out there and enjoy the trails this summer. Just remember be bear aware and bring bear spray and/or bear bangers, pack out ALL of your garbage including that which you believe to be biodegradable, as it will attract animals to the trails. At this point in the summer it should go without saying, however I will say it anyway, please do not smoke in the backcountry! The generations to come will thank you anonymously for not ruining their wild places. “It feels good to be lost in the right direction” – anonymous

As I write this, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 6:20 a.m., and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just back from my morning workout. From start to finish, it took me 27 minutes. I love exercise, mostly because of how I feel after the workout is over. Whether I workout for an hour, or 27 minutes, I experience the same post-workout benefits: I feel energized, alert, focused, strong, happy, motivated and excited for the day. Because of the increased clarity, creativity and productivity you get with a sweat session, I will also write this article in record time. Keeping fit does not require a lot of time. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not just saying that some is better than none, but that you can actually reach an optimal fitness level in just 20-30 minutes of planned movement, a few times per week. This morning for example, I did about seven minutes of warm up exercises to get my heart rate up and increase my range of motion. For the workout, I set my interval times (I use, and highly recommend, the Simple Interval Timer app on
my iPhone) for one minute and 15 seconds. In that time I did five burpees with weight, five squats with weight and five rows or pulls. I rested until the one minute and 15 seconds was up, and went through the circuit 10 times. To finish off, I did a few minutes of bridgTanja ing (the SHAW exercise where you lay on your back with your knees bent and lift your hips off the ground). Finally, I stretched. While any movement is better than nothing, getting the most out of your workout time takes some planning. Here are six tips to get fit in record time: 1. Focus on strength exercises. Strength exercises, especially done at heavy loads or in a circuit will get your heart rate up and also stress the cardiovascular system. You will get the benefits of a higher

metabolic rate, stronger muscles, better posture, and a fit cardiovascular system. 2. Do multi-joint exercise to get the highest return on investment. In other words, skip the thigh machine and opt for squats, lunges, pushes and pulls. 3. Use your rest time wisely. While you recover between exercises, do light range of motion, core or balance exercises. For example, you can do bridging, single leg balance, or trunk rotations. 4. Plan your workout ahead of time. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a plan, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll likely spend some of your precious workout time wondering what to do, procrastinating, and frankly, wasting your time. 5. Think quality over quantity. Focus on what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing and make the most out of it. Focus on what muscles youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re using, and keep the chatter in your brain geared toward motivating yourself to work hard. Avoid distractions and timesuckers like checking your email or Facebook. 6. Be honest with your ability. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re new to exercise, ease into it. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a seasoned gym goer, make sure to challenge yourself. Sometimes we get complacent and lift the same

weights over and over again because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comfortable. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing wrong with maintaining, but if you want to improve, it may be time to kick things up a notch. Not all workouts need to be hard, but when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve planned a training session, see if you can up the ante. Can you lift slightly heavier? Can you do a more advanced version of an exercise? Just be sure not to sacrifice form. Doing a harder exercise incorrectly is not the goal! Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a short circuit you could try to get started: 1. 8-15 squats (carry weights to increase intensity) 2. 8- 15 push-ups (wall, knees or floor) 3. 8-15 rows or pullups (use a band or machine for the row) Rest 30-60 seconds (practice a single leg balance at this time) Repeat 3-8 times. Whether you are busy and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much time to workout, or simply donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to spend a lot of your time working out, you can get the benefits of exercise in very little time. Plan your workouts, focus on basic strength movements and enjoy the benefits of a fit, healthy you!

Chilliwack FC’s U-16 and U-18 girls both medaled at last weekend’s BC Soccer Provincial B Cup tournament. The U-18 crew grabbed gold in dominant fashion, going 3-0-1 en-route to the title. They opened the tournament last Thursday, battling the host Penticton Pinnacles to a 1-1 draw. That is the only goal the locals would allow. On day two they pummeled the Coquitlam Black Ice 9-0. On day three they routed the Shuswap FC Selects 7-0 and they finished their title run with a 2-0 gold medal win over Nelson Selects. On the U-16 side, Chilliwack started with an impressive 4-1 win over the Williams Lake Storm. They tied the host Penticton Pinnacles 2-2 on day two and suffered their lone loss on day three, falling 2-1 to the Prince George Timberwolves. Their 1-1-1 record

Loft, bounce, grind, lie angle, shaft, grip and finish options. Why so much detail for such a little club? Combinations of loft and bounce are relative to yourr swing type as measured through impact. We have sweeper/ sliders, neutral players and diggers. Which one are you? It’s important to know when purchasing a wedge or two. After A fter all we use these clubs constantly for fuller swings, pitching, chipping and bunker play. The bounce and grind options are also very relevant to the types of courses and or conditions you play in. Bounce keeps the club from digging into the turf, allowing it to glide through the turf or sand with less resistance. Are you a member of a course and play it on a regularr basis or do you play different courses throughout the season? Will you play in all weather and ground conditions or hot, sunny and dry conditions only? Do you go down south for the winter? If so, the conditions you play while away can be very different than conditions at home not to mention the types of grasses you play out of. A custom club fitter will discuss this with you and help determine if the wedges in your bag really are right for you and if not, what is. Shafts are also an issue. Most standard wedges are outfitted with a ‘steel Wedge Flex’ shaft. Not a problem unless it’s too heavy or too light for you. Did you know you have the choice with some manufacturers to match the shafts in your wedges with your existing iron set? And, with the higher lofted wedges (56-60 degrees) it is sometimes beneficial to a player to have a lighter, less stiff shaft installed. This can heighten a player’s feel when playing the soft, touchy shots around the greens Again, regardless of golfers ability, properly fitted wedges can take strokes off of your game. Why? Because by learning about the specifics of a well designed wedge w edge for your needs allows you to play the short game shots you want, and if you need to improve your short game techniques, properly fit wedges will only benefit your learning. Check out your local pro shop and their wedge inventory. If they have top quality wedges then they know theirr importance in the game and will help you understand whatt is best for you.

Behind every work zone cone is a worker in a vulnerable position. Each cone stands for someone’s father, mother, son, or daughter. That’s why it’s important to know that thousands of people working by the roadside in B.C. are counting on you to slow down and drive with care when approaching a “Cone Zone.” ConeZoneBC.com

The Chilliwack Golf Club hosts the annual Chilliwack Men’s Open Saturday and Sunday. The tournament routinely draws many of BC’s best players to the valley. This year’s featured group, which includes European senior tour player Phil Jonas and 2014 CMO champion Bryn Parry, tees off Saturday morning at 7:30 a.m. “It’s always exciting to come back as the defending champion in any tournament,” Parry said. “The Chilliwack Men’s Open always has a great field and I’m looking forward to playing with these guys again. The fans and the excitement around the tournament are always amazing too.” “We are very fortunate to attract such a strong field every year,”
added Chilliwack Golf Club general manager Bryan Ewart. “This year’s roster includes hometown players Jared Rempel and Luke Bogdan, in addition to Bryn, who has now won the Chilliwack Men’s Open an impressive six times.” The full field of 200 will chase a $2,000 grand prize, with another $500 available to the top Chilliwack Golf Club pro. For spectators, who get in for free, the best seats in the house are on the 15th hole, where a grandstand is set up to allow perfect viewing of the challenging par four. The Sleeman’s Beer Garden is set up in the same spot. Get more info online at chilliwackgolf.com or email Ewart at bryan@ chilliwackgolf.com.
