Water, smoking restrictions as dry weather continues Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The unrelenting heat has forced City of Chilliwack to move into Stage 3 Watering Restrictions, effective Monday, July 20. Lawn sprinkling is now limited to one morning a week, which puts City of Chilliwack more in line with other cities taking similar action. Anyone caught watering outside of the restricted hours will get a warning before receiving a $100 fine. “In order to be good stewards of our water resources, the City of Chilliwack has initiated stage 3 watering restrictions,” according to the news release Monday. Under these restrictions, residents are allowed to water one day

a week between 5 a.m. and 8 a.m. Even numbered addresses can water on Wednesdays and odd numbered addresses on Thursdays. The province announced Wednesday that the ongoing drought for the south coast and Lower Fraser areas was at a level 4 — the highest possible drought rating. They’ve urged water users across B.C. to maximize water conservation. “Residents who do choose to water their lawns during these times should ensure they don’t unnecessarily water sidewalks or roads.” Flower and vegetable gardens, shrubs and trees can still be watered at any time using a spring-loaded hose adaptor, watering can, or soaker hose.

maintained by City of Chilliwack for a couple of weeks now. They were posted at the entrance point of about 30 trails in direct response to provincial alerts about the extreme forest fire risk, said city operations staff. The signs remind people not to smoke or have campfires, and they’re asking the public to comply. They have even upped patrols of maintenance personnel along the trails, who are finding too many cigarette butts still being carelessly discarded on the ground. It’s considered worrisome that people are still risking fires by smoking in a tinder-dry forested area, and if they do smoke despite the signs, they are asked to removed every cigarette butt and not to leave any along the trails.

Some motorists stuck in traffic on the way to Cultus Lake were fuming over the weekend in Chilliwack. Traffic tie-ups at the Vedder Bridge backed things up to Keith Wilson Road and beyond. Last week a ruling by Worksafe BC prohibited the use of traffic control personnel at two spots near the Vedder Bridge, due to safety reasons. Within a day or so, City of Chilliwack staff brainstormed an interim solution by installing a traffic light that could be manually controlled by staff on the weekends to help keep the heavy traffic moving. “They managed to hand-craft a traffic control device with the equipment parts they had available, in time for the weekend, but there was no left turn signal option, and they knew that would be a sticking point,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz. “It was done quickly, to get something in place and the part was ordered.” Drivers trying to turn onto Chilliwack Lake Road from Vedder Road over the weekend did create congestion as they waited to turn, sometimes as far back as Promontory Road. City staff have confirmed it won’t be possible to install a dedicated left turn lane, but the light can be modified. A part that will effectively add a left turn option to the light signal was due to be installed later this week, said Gaetz. “I cannot imagine what the weekend was like near the bridge, especially for anyone without air conditioning in their vehicle. I understand there were lineups and people were frustrated,” she said. “We can’t do anything about the ruling by Worksafe and we hope the public will be patient, and avoid the area if at all possible.”

Agassiz grandmother stares down hungry cougar Jessica Peters The Progress McDougall the dog has his grandma to thank for saving him from an untimely death, at the hands of a local cougar. Margarita Ochoa was picking blackberries in one of her favourite spots on July 10, on the Lougheed Highway behind Pioneer Park and the Agassiz Harrison Museum. Ochoa and her daughter had both brought along their dogs. It wasn’t long before a cougar made itself

known, and her daughter’s dog went to investigate. “Her dog went under the bush, and got tossed around by that cougar like you wouldn’t believe,” Ochoa said. That was over a week ago, and McDougall, a dachshund, is at home healing, licking his wounds and staying very close to the heels of his owner. But if it weren’t for some quick thinking by Ochoa, the story may have ended differently. Luckily, she was there to pick blackberries to make pies.

“I took the bowl for the blackberries and I threw it at the cougar,” she said. “He glimpsed at the bowl for just a second and the dog crawled out.” What Ochoa did next probably saved their group from further attack. “I got between the cougar and the dog,” she said. “The cougar didn’t like me either,” she said. “He growled at me and showed his teeth. And you cannot run so I just backed away. He was on his elbows ready to

jump. I just stared at him and slowly backed away.” She told her daughter to take the dogs and they all left the area to tend to the dog and get a hold of the RCMP and a conservation officer. “There were a lot of police officers but the cougar is still there to this day,” Ochoa said, and has been seen by at least one other person. She is sure it’s the same cougar she ran into last summer, again while picking blackberries for pie. He or she has the same fluffy tail as the cougar she saw last year.

Ochoa’s getting frustrated that the cougar is left to wander the area, and is hoping he is moved away before someone gets hurt. “I don’t want him dead,” she said. “I just want him relocated. I believe he’s still there.” McDougall is lucky to have been accompanied by Ochoa in the bushes. “He was very lucky because he has a grandma that goes in between him and the cougar,” she said.

Chilliwack keeps breaking hot weather records Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

A home on Grove Avenue in Promontory was destroyed by fire Saturday afternoon. WILLIAM SNOW PHOTO

Fire destroys Promontory home A Chilliwack family was forced from its home Saturday after flames swept through their Promontory house. No one was injured in the blaze. However the family, which was renting the property, had no tenant insurance. According to the Chilliwack fire department, a neighbour working in their yard, noticed light smoke coming from the exterior west side of the home and quickly called 911.

Firefighters responded from Halls 1 and 4 and on arrival, reported seeing smoke and flame on the west side of the exterior of a two story residential home. Fire crews setup a defensive attack and quickly brought the fire under control. The home suffered fire damage to the west side exterior and roof structure. Fire also extended to the interior causing damage to a portion of the

home. The residents were home at the time of the fire, were able to safely evacuate and are currently in the care of Emergency Social Services. There were no civilian or firefighter injuries. The cause of the fire is under investigation by Fire Department officials. Friends of the family have established a gofundme page at: www. gofundme.com/ze6r62te6

There was a period of cooler weather recently but the heat came back in the ‘Wack. It was another weekend of record-breaking heat for Chilliwack, says Roger Pannett, volunteer weather observer for Environment Canada. Saturday saw a record high for that date with 34.7 degrees C in Chilliwack. The last record high max for July 18, was in 1995 when it hit 33.6 C. July so far has been another scorcher with 11 days of 30+ degree temperatures, and meagre rainfall, he said. Overnight Sunday also hit a record high minimum when the mercury only dipped to 18.2 C, and then the daytime maximum high of 34.9 almost hit the max high record on that day in 1956 of 35.0 C. It feels even hotter with 29 per cent relative humidity on Sunday. July has seen more than 11 days in the sizzling range. The 30-year average for the month of July is only three hot days of 30+ temps. We’ve also seen scant rain. There’s only been 8.4 mm of the wet stuff so far. The average for the month of July is 46.0 mm.

Local rivers exempt from fishing ban Jeff Nagel Black Press Low water levels and warming temperatures have prompted the province to ban angling in most streams and smaller rivers across the South Coast region. The unusual conditions make fish vulnerable and the closures are required to protect stocks, according to provincial government officials. Continued: BANNED/ p4

UFV’s heavy duty mechanics program gets a lift Jessica Peters The Progress The heavy duty mechanics department at UFV can fill a heavy duty shopping list, following a funding announcement on Friday. The provincial government handed out trades and technology funding last week, handing a cheque for $192,651 to the local trades school. That money will directly improve the heavy duty mechanics shop, through the purchase of new equipment. Items to be purchased with the funding included

an HVAC trainer, an engine rebuild stand, a 110-ton shop press, and diesel engines. The heavy duty program is one of the faster growing programs at UFV, said John English, Dean of Applied and Technical Studies. The intake of students entering the program has doubled, he noted, which is also an indication that “our economy is doing well.” The labour outlook is strong, Chilliwack MLA John Martin noted, with a million job opportunities by 2022. “Many of these jobs need skilled workers,” he said.

“The government is making significant investments to help British Columbians get the training they need for the these opportunities.” Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness also attended the funding announcement, calling UFV’s Trades and Technology Centre as a “premiere facility” within the province. “And every time we make an announcement like this here, it makes this an even more attractive place to be,” he said. “It’s a snowball effect.” The province is investing $185 million over three

years in new trades training equipment and facilities to support students entering in-demand sectors, including LNG, shipbuilding and ship repairs and construction. UFV President Mark Evered said the equipment will go a long way toward getting students ready for their future. “The new equipment will provide hands-on learning opportunities needed to train students and to fill the demand for skilled trades people across the province,” he said.

Chilliwack MLA John Martin speaks to a small crowd of UFV heavy duty mechanics students Friday afternoon, for a funding announcement that will go toward new equipment for the growing program. JESSICA PETERS/ PROGRESS

News Long Way Home nears journey’s end Kate MacEachern and her team have crossed three provinces in three months, on foot and by horseback, to raise funds and awareness for post traumatic stress disorder. They began in Nipawin, SK on May 1, and their incredible journey will end in Chilliwack on July 24. And when they arrive, a warm welcoming committee will be waiting. By the time they get here, they will have travelled more than 2,700 kilometres, and met with thousands of people along the way. This is the third leg of MacEachern’s Long Way Home tour. In 2012, she walked (with a full ruck) from CFB Gagetown, NB to Antigonish, NB, a total of 576 km. And in 2013, Kate walked from Port Hawkesbury Cape Breton, NS to Ottawa, ON, completing 1864 kms. Welcoming committee orga-

nizer Paula DeWit is inviting the public to come out and cheer her along in her final steps, as ‘east meets west.’ “So many wonderful people have come on board to help us make this a memorable finale from the Chilliwack Branch of the Anavets, the Canadian Army Veterans, the Mountain View Harley Davidson to Rick Genge and Bruce Topp and so many more,” she says. “There will be food and there will be music.

There will be folks from all walks of life and many PTSD survivors from veterans, fire fighters to first responders. We are hoping for a big turnout from Chilliwack to line the streets as they walk into town.” The Long Way Home team will leave the highway at Prest Road and take Chilliwack Central Road into town. They will turn left at Broadway and complete their journey at the Chilliwack Airport at 4:30 p.m. Plenty of dignitaries will be on hand, including MLAs Laurie Throness and John Martin, who will share barbecue duties. Mayor Sharon Gaetz will also be on hand to offer words of welcome. DeWit notes that the team is fundraising along the way, and no amount is too small. Follow along the team’s adventures with daily updates on their Facebook page, and visit http:// www.thelongwayhome.ca.

Angling banned on most streams due to low flows BANNED from page 3 The closures cover all of the wildlife management units south of Toba Inlet, inlcuding the Lower Mainland, with the exception of unit 2-1, which is Manning Park east of the Skagit River. Fishing is still

allowed in lakes and reservoirs, and there are also exemptions for the mainstem sections of the Fraser, the Chilliwack-Vedder, Harrison, Lillooet, Squamish (non-tidal), Pitt (non-tidal), Elaho, Cheakamus, Capilano and Mamquam rivers. The move comes

after last week’s declaration of Level 4 drought conditions in southwestern B.C. Angling closures were previously declared for southern Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, and parts of the South Okanagan, as well as the Horsefly River in the Cariboo.

Exempted rivers as well as other key angling streams are being monitored by fisheries biologists and could be closed as well, if necessary. Fish kills and strandings have already been reported at some streams in the Interior.

News Petition circulating against Mayfair rezoning for infill Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Mayfair Avenue residents are mobilizing against a proposed rezoning on their street. About 30 neighbours gathered last week in front of 46493 Mayfair Ave. to find ways to encourage city council to turn down a rezoning application for the property that would allow for infill on a small lot. The rezoning was scheduled for Tuesday night at city hall. The house at one time was the home of an extreme hoarder. A residents’ petition was to encourage city council to say no to the proposed zoning changes. “They currently have 50 signatures,” Wayne Oberst said. He is one of the Mayfair residents and the petition garnered signatures from people on Mayfair, Hazel (north), Riverside (block directly behind Mayfair, and Portage (park block). Neighbours are concerned that the conse-

Mayfair Avenue petitions council to turn down proposal to rezone and subdivide property.

quences of the rezoning would be “severe,” Oberst added. They include the changing visuals or “cosmetic” elements that would “decrease the charm and character” of their street, he said. City documents outline a plan by the applicant to rezone the lot from R1-A (One Family Residential) Zone to an R1-D (Infill Small Lot One Family Residential) Zone to facilitate future subdivision.

Meat plant gets nod from ag commission Jennifer Feinberg The Progress City council was expected to consider a text amendment to allow construction of an abattoir to process up to 100 cattle a day in Chilliwack. Council was slated to vote on introduction and first reading Tuesday at city hall, which could trigger a public hearing for August 18. The applicant is seeking to expand an existing Agricultural Food Processing zone to allow construction of a 22,000-square foot beef processing facility, at 8146, 8160, 8174, 8188, 8202, 8216, and 8230 Brannick Place. The goal for the applicant

is to obtain “food inspection status” with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) to facilitate “better market access” for local beef to major local retailers and food processors, as well as potential export markets. The staff report noted odour abatement equipment will be in place, and other protections would make it such that there’d be “no reason why this new facility would have any odours” or even give passersby “any idea that it was a beef processing facility” other than the signage. The Chilliwack Agricultural Commission wrote a support letter, noting the project “would support opportunities

for a strong, viable and profitable meat industry in British Columbia.” The property in the AFP Zone would remain in the Agricultural Land Reserve, designated as “Agri-Business Park” within the 2040 Official Community Plan. So far two food processing facilities have been built on the AFP Zoned lands: Sandel Foods (45739 Kerr Avenue) and CWF Meats Division of Overwaitea Food Group (8235 Brannick Place). The seven subject properties have a combined area of about 6.8 hectares or 16.9 acres with more than 160 metres of frontage along Brannick Place.

Never run or turn your back- sudden movements may provoke an attack. If you notice that a cougar that is watching you, maintain eye contact with the cougar and

speak to it in a loud firm voice. Reinforce the fact that you are a human and not an easy target. Back out of the area and seek assistance or shelter. If a cougar shows aggression, respond aggressively. Keep eye contact, yell and make loud noises, and show your teeth. Pick up nearby sticks, rocks, or whatever you have at hand to quickly to use as a weapon if necessarycrouch down as little as possible when picking things up off the ground. If the cougar attacks, fight back, focusing on its facial and eye area. Use rocks, sticks, bear spray, or personal belongings as weapons. You are trying to convince the cougar that you are a threat, and are not prey. Call the Conservation Officer Service reporting line (1-877952-7277) to report the incident.

with as many as three levels where there is now only one,” said Oberst. Some might argue that “it is just one home,” but he said approval of the rezoning on a tiny street like Mayfair would set precedent for “future

rezoning of this street to accommodate similar developments. “This would continue to lessen the desirability of the street for those looking for a traditional home and eventually leave the remaining owners at the mercy of the developers when it comes time for them to move on.” He said about 30 peo-

ple attended the meeting and the consensus was that residents are “very concerned” about the future of their street. “Many owners have lived on the street for more than five years with some residing on Mayfair in excess of 10, 20, 30 and 40 years. “These people are concerned that the largest investment of their

lives could be in jeopardy if this rezoning is allowed to take place,” said Oberst. Most said they’d rather the zoning remained the same and either the structure be renovated or replaced with a new home that is fitting with the curb appeal of this heritage street. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Vedder lights draw complaints LIGHTS from Front People were quick to weigh in on social media about the heavy traffic heading to Cultus due to the absence of flaggers. Sitel Ala complained the traffic to Cultus was backing up to Promontory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new light system is worse than ever. Way to go Chilliwack city. Awesome job.â&#x20AC;? But Janet Turner said she expected city staff to fix things, like coming up with a turning option. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m quite certain after the first weekend with the light, they will look to tweak how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running/timed,â&#x20AC;? she posted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I highly doubt they would just leave it.â&#x20AC;? The turn signal part that city staff ordered to facilitate the left hand turns, came in on Monday, and should be installed and tested some time this week. Carol Kelly, as an area resident for 48 years, noted that traffic is congested in July and August since Cultus Lake has â&#x20AC;&#x153;always attracted tourists,â&#x20AC;? and that is not likely to be changing any time soon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The light will eventually help,â&#x20AC;? she offered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best way

not to have a problem with it is donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t travel that way if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like it.â&#x20AC;? The new traffic light is expected to be in place until construction is completed on the new Vedder bridge and roundabout in 2018. Work will begin on that project in 2016. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are so thankful that the Vedder Bridge replacement project received funding from all levels of government recently,â&#x20AC;? said Gaetz. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Dodging fiscal realities

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

The troubled plight of the Canadian economy took centre stage on the nation’s political scene last week. While news that Canada’s economy has slipped into recession didn’t come as a shock to many financial analysts – apart from the nation’s finance minister who was still denying fiscal reality only weeks before – the reaction it prompted from the federal government was certainly a little unusual. Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s response to the nation was to say, in effect, ‘I didn’t do it.’ Apparently, the buck stops with falling oil prices, Beijing or Washington, D.C. – anywhere but 24 Sussex Drive. In fact, the Conservatives have done little to diversify Canada from its resource-based economy. While China’s economy has slowed, is Harper saying Canada is doomed without double-digit GDP growth in China? And in the U.S. the Fed is on the verge of hiking interest rates to slow their red-hot economy. The prime minister might as well have come out and blamed his Liberal predecessors for only leaving him a paltry $13 billion surplus to squander. Not content to merely dodge responsibility, Harper went on to say things would be worse under Justin Trudeau and brought up the spectre of Greece in relation to Tom Mulclair. ‘At least we’re not Greece,’ doesn’t seem like an inspiring election platform. The downward revision to Canada’s GDP outlook means that the country will almost certainly run a deficit again this year. The irony here is that the Conservatives’ actions to create a balanced budget to campaign on helped foster the conditions for recession. Despite what Harper might claim now, a recession was far from inevitable – a quick look at other G7 nations shows that Canada is the only one now mired in negative growth. Instead of looking for an economic solution the government would rather change the definition of recession itself, with the Bank of Canada governor calling the use of the ‘R’ word not helpful. Fair enough, maybe a more accurate description would be Stephen Harper’s Economic Action Plan at work. ~ Black Press

Latest Nestlé protest doesn’t hold water VICTORIA – Have you noticed the latest degradation of standards on TV news? In addition to sensational depictions of crime, accidents and celebrities, the lineup now incorporates any nonsense that is momentarily “viral” on the Internet. So it was with an online petition singling out Swiss food corporation Nestlé, which operates a water bottling plant near Hope. It’s the largest in B.C., one of many that bottle the province’s water and sell it back to a gullible public. This petition is courtesy of SumOfUs, one of those selfappointed environmental watchdogs that seem to pop up like mushrooms overnight. “Fighting for people over profits,” they claim, pitching for donations. The stor y has what U.S. comedian Stephen Colbert calls “truthiness.” That’s when some-

thing is false, but it “feels” true. “Nestlé is about to suck B.C. dry – for $2.25 per million litres to be exact,” says the SumOfUs headline. Using her keen sense of what’s superficially popular, Premier Christy Clark instantly called for a review of these Tom FLETCHER low rates for selling the people’s water. It then fell to Environment Minister Mary Polak to explain what’s really going on. “People keep saying there’s a deal with Nestlé,” Polak told reporters. “There isn’t. They pay the same as any other industrial user, in fact the highest industrial rate, and it goes for anything from hydraulic fracturing

to bottled water, those involved in mining for example, any of those heavy industrial uses.” And why is that rate so low? It’s because the province takes great pains not to “sell” water, which would make it a commodity under trade agreements, like oil or minerals. That would surrender provincial control, and allow the U.S. to press for equal access to Canadian water. “You’re buying the right to use the water,” Polak said. “I know it sounds crazy to the public, but we call it a rental – a water rental. There’s a reason we use that language, because we are very careful to avoid any suggestion that by paying this amount, you therefore own that water. “That reserves for us the right at any time, for a compelling public need, to say stop. It doesn’t matter if you have a licence.” As for the brazenly false claim

that Nestlé is sucking B.C. dry, I’m indebted to a real environmental professional named Blair King for explaining this. (His blog, achemistinlangley.blogspot. ca, offers useful technical explanations of issues in the news, many of which contradict socalled environmentalists.) King notes that the bottling plant uses less than one per cent of the flow through Kawkawa Lake: “If Nestlé stopped operating (and put its 75 employees out of work and stopped paying municipal taxes) would there be more water for the rest of us?” he writes. “Absolutely not. Kawkawa Lake drains its excess water into the Fraser River, which drains into the Strait of Georgia. Neither the Fraser River at Hope nor the Strait of Georgia is particularly short of water, even in the driest

of years.” Clark made one useful contribution, when asked about this urgent non-issue by those seeking to further sensationalize the current drought and forest fires. She correctly noted that most B.C. residents have access to the best tap water in the world, and have no need for bottled water. Nestlé, Perrier, Coke, Pepsi and other companies have done a fantastic job of convincing people that their drinking water has to be delivered in bottles from some mythical pure source. Here’s a tip, Nestlé critics: Fill a jug with water and stick it in the fridge. Fight the corporations. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Anavets needs some support Anavets Unit 305 has been â&#x20AC;&#x153;woundedâ&#x20AC;? by the Wounded Warriors Weekend. Our executive and members elected to wholeheartedly support WWW events and the merchandising efforts as a good cause. Who wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t? So most events and merchandising projects of the WWW were centred at Anavets 305. We opened up our premises, telephone line, meeting rooms and encouraged member volunteers to help the Wounded Warrior Weekend group reach its goal: provide relaxed weekend to military personnel and first responders suffering from PTSD. We committed ourselves to purchase tickets, buy T-shirts,

caps, etc., to support the WWW. It also required that we cancel and postpone the usual summer fundraising events that support our unit. Because pockets only run so deep. As you know, the Wounded Warrior Weekend was a wash, since the organizers at the very top failed to get their ducks in a row, and make the organization a legal charity within the regulations of the Canadian government. Chilliwack businesses, always generous, stopped donations when proper receipts were not forthcoming. So you ask, how was the Anavets â&#x20AC;&#x153;wounded?â&#x20AC;? By lost sales during a

Too soon to jump on anti-fossil fuel bandwagon tors. Consequently, in addition to our use of fossil fuels, man has had a significant impact on climate in many ways. Scientists are aware of this and have an understanding of how land use may impact climate. Another factor is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;greenhouse effect.â&#x20AC;? It is the greenhouse effect that makes our world livable. Without the greenhouse effect our earth would be a frozen blob of rock and ice. The greenhouse effect is caused by a number of gases in our atmosphere that trap heat and essentially keep our temperature livable. Without the greenhouse effect the average temperature of the earth would be about 18 degrees below zero centigrade. The primary gases involved are water vapor, carbon dioxide and meth-

ane. This is where some of the differences of opinion arise. Water vapor is thought to be responsible for between 55% and 95% of the greenhouse effect, carbon dioxide from between 1% and 26% and methane a relatively small amount. Then we have to look at the source of these greenhouse gasses. Water vapor is almost 100% natural and there is nothing we can do about that. Approximately 90 to 95% of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere comes from natural sources such as the oceans, forests and even people exhaling. And then we have methane, most of which comes from natural sources, but quite a lot comes from livestock and people. This is where we get to the difficult part and the part where a lot of scientists are not in

agreement. The role of water vapor and clouds in our atmosphere is not fully understood and yet water vapor is the primary greenhouse gas. Then we have the role of the sun and ocean currents in all of this. It is a complex problem and science does not yet have all the answers. In addressing the issue of climate change we certainly need to consider our use of fossil fuels but we also need to consider land use and the other factors involved. Scientists do not yet have all the answers and simplistically jumping on the fossil fuel bandwagon Â may not be the complete answer and could have severe economic and environmental consequences that we have not fully considered. Jack Carradice Chilliwack

Duty to future generations to stop pipelines In order to prevent catastrophic climate change it is imperative that we keep roughly two-thirds of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fossil fuels in the ground. This means that rather than expanding fossil fuel production, such as building tar sands pipelines and LNG plants, we should be phasing out fossil fuels. Arguments from the NDP and

Liberals about getting Canadian oil resources to market responsibly are an oxymoron. In order to ensure a safe climate future pipelines such as Kinder Morganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Transmountain and Energy East should not be built. Â The same goes for LNG. Renewable energy creates 7 times more jobs than oil and gas

and is technologically and economically ready. Â Climate change is a serious challenge. We have a duty to future generations to stop the pipelines. Â Such a move would also enhance our prosperity as the transition to clean energy is the biggest economic opportunity in human history.

Judging by the letters to the editor there is quite a lot of interest in the subject of climate change and global warming. Unfortunately comments relating to that old chestnut, â&#x20AC;&#x153;97% of scientists agree that man has had an impact on climate,â&#x20AC;? does not mean much. Having followed this issue for over 25 years it has been my observation that 100% of climate scientists believe man has had an impact on climate. If you want to look at the impacts man has had start by looking at land use. Converting vast areas of forest to agricultural use is significant. Paving and building homes and businesses over vast areas of land is also a factor. Building dams and creating large lakes has had an impact on climate and there are many more land use fac-

Putting the wow in this year’s powwow Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Putting on traditional powwows in Chilliwack has always been a family tradition, says organizer Gary Abbott. The Spirit of the People PowWow this weekend at Tzeachten Sports Field will see that tradition continue. Abbott has been a powwow dancer most of his life. “Watching my parents run the powwow and learning how to do it gave me substantial knowledge in how it’s all put together and how to do it well,” he says. Organizers for the Spirit of the People Powwow July 24-26 have assembled “a powerhouse of talent” with drummers and dancers coming from across North America. It will be the first time in a couple of years that Sto:lo organizers are presenting a competition style event.

“We’re expecting this to be one of the largest powwows in B.C.,” Abbott says. A competition powwow means the focus is on a set list of traditional dance categories and a set time for dancers to do their thing. There will be dancers competing for prizes and specials. Attendees can expect a West Coast hand drum contest, in full regalia. There are plans for a First Nations fashion show, along with authentic crafts and arts, salmon BBQ with Indian Taco, bannock and more. As usual, everyone is welcome to soak up some proud displays of aboriginal culture, he says. Abbott says he’s happy to be giving back, and sees the event as a multicultural one, with a bhangra dance group invited to perform. “It’s up to all of us to put on a good event, and it’s a way of giving back to benefit our culture and lifestyle.”

Unfortunately, the number of powwows has been on the decline in B.C. over the past five years. “So there is a reason to continue this good work,” he says. “We’re working hard to reinvigorate it on a number of levels.” This year the theme of the powwow is honouring women, says Abbott. “Several matriarchs from communities across B.C. will be attending this year’s event. We will be giving them a chance to introduce themselves and share a little about their families.” They’re hoping to attract 4000 to 6000 people throughout the weekend. “It’s a great way to bring all different cultures together with a focus on First Nations. But many non native people enjoy it very much as well.” The Tzeachten Sports Field on Bailey Road is just an “awesome

venue” with many suitable aspects. “It’s a very level and forgiving surface when you dance on the soccer fields. Plus there is a lot of space for the dance arena and the vendors.” They’ll have twice as many vendors as last year, where they only had about two months to get organized. A teepee will be set up on-site. Spirit of the People Powwow, July 24-26, at Tzeachten Sports Field, 46770 Bailey Rd, Chilliwack, or see more https://www.facebook. com/events/755742714469460/ permalink/884409214936142/. Attendance is $2 a day or $5 for the weekend. Grand Entry is Friday at 7 p.m., Saturday at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m. The Spirit Fashion Show will be on Saturday July 25, 2015 at 5:30 p.m. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Art on the Farm organizers are gearing up for another creative arts-oriented event in Columbia Valley next month, but this time in a new location. The 11th Annual Art on the Farm 2015 features local, handmade goods, live entertainment and crafts. It’s slated for Aug. 15, and rather than at a family farm, Art on the Farm will now be held at Columbia Valley Hall, at 1202 Kosikar. Organizers say they still have space for artists to sign up and pay the $50 fee. “If you were juried in the past, you can send us payment and a registration form and we will sign you up,” said organizer Minda Chittenden. “We are an outdoor event but now we’ll have access to wheelchair accessible washrooms and grounds,” she noted. For artists who’ve already signed up and paid there’s time to send them your bios to update the website. Anyone who has not yet been juried, has to fill out the info requested on the website and send photos of their work to info@artonthefarm.ca.

The Chilliwack Progress Wednesday, July 22, 2015

Nuggets Used Books has moved from its awkward location on Vedder Road to a spacious, welcoming building in downtown Chilliwack. The new store, located at 45832 Wellington Avenue, boasts an increased inventory of books, records, and cds, as well as accessible parking and refreshing AC. As you enter the new location, a small, orange handwritten sign reads â&#x20AC;&#x153;this is a place for people who enjoy books,â&#x20AC;? a notion which is consistently reinforced in the comfortable, nostalgic atmosphere of the store, the customers who drive a long way to see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new, and of course, the owner, Neil Stad. As an avid, lifelong reader and book lover, Stad has been running his book store for over 15 years. While many customers felt that the cramped corridors of Nuggetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prior location added a cozy charm, the minimal parking options and lack of air conditioning were a bit of a nuisance. When the Vedder Road Nuggets building sold in April 2015, Stad had only one month to find a new location and make the move. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tried to find a spot in Sardis or Vedder, but none of the spots felt right,â&#x20AC;? he explains. When Stad took a risk and toured a place on Wellington, however, he knew right away that

this would be Nuggetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new home. It took Stad eight busy days to set up shop in the new location, a space with many advantages. The Wellington location is 850 square feet larger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had been storing excess book collections in my garage [â&#x20AC;Ś] now suddenly I have room to bring that in. My stock is probably up about 10%,â&#x20AC;? says Stad regarding the store growth. Additionally, the new space is more well-lit, there is ample street parking, and the space stays cool with AC. Customers have responded â&#x20AC;&#x153;awesomelyâ&#x20AC;? to the new place. When asked if customers were happy to follow him to the new location, a nearby shopper raises his hand and smiles. Stad is discovering that customers who found the prior location â&#x20AC;&#x153;trickyâ&#x20AC;? are now coming in twice as often. The new location is walking distance from another used book store, The Book Man, which Stad sees as a mutually beneficial circumstance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always sent people there when I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have something,â&#x20AC;? says Stad, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve sent a lot of people over here too.â&#x20AC;? Overall, the more people who are in town looking for great books to read, the better. Stad is appreciative of all the downtown readers, and he generously keeps a shelf of free

www.theprogress.com

Nuggets Used Books Moves to a New Location in Downtown Chilliwack Sam Bates books out front. The thrill of finding a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nuggetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of gold, Stad explains, resonates with the excitement that shows in customers who have found the book that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been searching for forever, or the one they never knew they wanted. Stad is always looking for unique books, records and cds to buy, sell or trade. Nuggets is open Monday to Saturday. Visit Nuggets Used Books 2015 on Facebook to view pictures of the new store and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happy customers.

Steve is the 4th generation of his family to call Chilliwack home, and has lived in Chilliwack his entire life. Steve is very familiar with all areas of the Valley which makes him uniquely qualified to represent you in your next Real Estate transaction. Steve is very passionate and active within the community and currently sits on the Board of Directors for the Upper Fraser Valley Crime Stoppers, is a Rotarian Mt. Cheam Rotary Club and served on the Board of Directors for the Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board. Originally a licensed Realtor in 1987 with Wheeler Realty Chilliwack - put Steve’s 25 plus years of experience and knowledge to work for you today.

Buying Real Estate? What price can you really afford? When calculating what you can afford in a house, don’t just look at the list price. Today’s mortgage options are increasing the possibilities for home buyers, so you should also take a close look at what it will cost you to live in the house. Your monthly housing cost is the second figure to consider, and that cost is very much determined by current interest rates. Diverse financing options and competition among lenders are giving many buyers the opportunity to buy a more expensive house or condo than they thought they could afford - and sooner. There are many creative ways to get into a home with a relatively small amount of money. Ask your REALTOR® to help you look at today’s numbers - you may be pleasantly surprised. Buyers should get pre-approved for a mortgage by a lender before beginning to look for a house. If you are turned down for a loan by one lender, don’t give up - it may be necessary to try a different source. Pre-approval saves you time by allowing you to concentrate on homes in your price range. (Pre-approval from a lender is different from prequalification, which does not obligate the lender to make a loan. Pre-qualification only indicates that the potential borrower appears to be qualified for a loan, based on the information the lender has been given.) Perhaps no single decision in a real estate purchase has more variables than “how much money should I put down”? All of the conventional wisdom centers around either

Hard working, understanding and dedicated. These traits are what my clients have come to expect from myself as their REALTOR®. Whether buying or selling a home, you can expect a high level of service that comes with enthusiasm and integrity along with the results that experience brings. I’m here to answer all your questions and guide you every step of the way. As part of the Robert Lacerte Team I am proud to be a part of such an established and successful team that has been helping families with their real estate needs for over twenty-five years. When buying a home, I will help you to avoid common pitfalls, inform you on what expenses to expect and assist you in negotiating the best possible terms on your purchase. When selling your home I can give you advice on preparing your home for showings, set a competitive asking price, and help you achieve top dollar with our proven marketing system. If you are thinking about buying or selling, rest assured I will provide the best real estate representation the industry has to offer. Call me Today!

putting down as much as you can or as little as the lender allows. If you have a large down payment, you get some leverage with the lender; a good equity position and perhaps a preferred mortgage deal. You will also have lower mortgage payments. When you decide to buy a home, you may feel resistance to doing some of the things that are necessary to turn your dream into a reality. An important part of a professional REALTOR®’s job is to help you overcome such resistance. When you locate the property you want to buy, you will have to handle many details within a very short period of time. There is a lot of paper-work, in addition to the negotiations with the sellers. You may also experience a wide range of emotions at each step of the way, everything from mild jitters to profound buyers’ remorse. Just take a deep breath and trust your REALTOR®. It also helps to remember that everyone who has purchased a home has experienced these same feelings - “‘It’s too much money’ or ‘the local market will collapse completely the day after we close.’” Fortunately, almost none of these fears ever come true. A professional REALTOR® is trained to take you through the home-buying jitters.

Marianne Bonnar: Getting it done Dot com.munity You’ve probably heard the adage - ‘if you want to get something done, give it to a busy person’. That pretty much sums up Marianne Bonnar’s life. As a successful businesswoman, wife and mother, she manages to juggle many balls at any given time and yet manages to keep them all in the air. Marianne’s drive and deterAna mination were MACEDO fostered and encouraged from an early age. Her father is a hard-working Dutch immigrant who came to Canada in 1952 when he was just 12 years old. Four years later, the family purchased a 160-acre dairy farm in Abbotsford and in addition, rented other acreage as well. “My mother was a nurse from Alberta but my parents met in Abbotsford and after they were married, they continued farming. I’m the second youngest of five girls and we were always encouraged and expected to work hard. I learned to drive combines and tractors and by the time that I was 14, I was baling hay, milking cows and feeding calves. I did all the jobs from the ground up, including shoveling poop. There was no excuse for not doing something,” she reflected. From the time that she got her driver’s license, Marianne began working for Rancho Caterers; something that

she did for three years. After graduating from Abbotsford Senior Secondary, her intent was to get into dental hygiene. “The waiting list was just too long, so I decided to become a dental assistant instead. I worked as a Certified Dental Assistant for 11 years.” Then in 2006, her father called a family meeting. “My dad and my uncle were business partners but they had decided to separate and dad was getting older. We got together and dad asked us if we wanted to join him in another farming venture,” she said. The new adventure would entail selling off a large portion of the land while retaining 40 acres and the once dairy farm would be converted into a poultry operation. “My sisters Joanne and Elaine decided to join the new farm, along with myself and it became known as JEM Farms, letters which represent the first letters of our names,” she smiled. While Joanne and Elaine have since left the operation, Marianne has been there for eight years and is now both a partner and manager of the farm. It has both breeders and broilers and in addition, there’s a 30-acre blueberry farm. “We have a 60,000 broiler quota and a 55,000 breeder quota and typically, we can have 105,000 birds on site, depending on how the cycles go. Our farm produces 15,000 eggs per day which we supply to the hatchery,” she explained. Marianne is focused and very detail oriented. “Our farm has leading edge technology and I like to make frequent

changes that will improve the operation using science. I’m passionate about it. Farming is in me,” she enthused. This past summer, Marianne was selected by the Canadian Broiler Hatching Egg Producers Association Young Farmer’s Program, to spend a week in Huntsville, Alabama visiting Aviagen Broiler Breeders facilities to gain in-depth knowledge of the US poultry industry including biosecurity practices, production planning, shipping and export processes, broiler and breeder traits and development as well as other important aspects of the industry. Her farm is also being featured in HI PRO Feeds 2015 Dairy & Poultry Leader Magazines. “They are showcasing eight poultry farms from B.C. to Saskatchewan and we will be one of the poultry farms featured and the only one from B.C.,” she explained. Although Marianne is incredibly busy, her family began searching for a sideline business that they could operate as a family unit. “The opportunity came up and this past summer we purchased the Heritage Hut; the concession operating out of Heritage Park.” Life is busy but Marianne maintains that family is her number one priority. “Family is and has always been very important and we are closeknit,” she said. She also does boot camp three times a week, recognizing that fitness is an important means to healing the mind, body and soul.

News Chilliwack Restorative Justice looks for new ED Kathy Funk will be leaving her role as executive director of Chilliwack Restorative Justice and Youth Advocacy Association. She had been in the role for two years, helping to raise the organization’s profile through creating and supporting several programs. “During her time with us Kathy helped to raise the profile of our orga-

nization by organizing a signature event, speaking to community groups, businesses and organizations throughout the city, starting an Adopt a File program, and recruiting 30 new volunteers from our community,” said Dwayne Farlin, chair of the association. “Kathy was also instrumental in starting a pilot project at Chilliwack middle school which was a success.”

There has been no mention of what’s next for Funk. Before joining Restorative Justice, she was the executive director of the Chilliwack Downtown Business Improvement Association. Farlin said it was Funk’s expertise in working with non-profits helping the board gain some clear direction. They will meet in the fall to work

on visioning and a strategic plan. Restorative Justice operates as a charity and therefore faces many challenges with funding the program. Moving forward, they will continue to serve the community by leaning on valued volunteers and support staff to run the program. And Funk will likely stay involved with the organization, albeit in a different capacity. “I believe in the great work of both Restorative Justice and Crime Prevention Services and have agreed to come back as a volunteer to both organizations,” she said. Since its inception in 1998, Chilliwack Restorative Justice and Youth Advocacy Association has offered restorative services to more than 4,500 people affected by criminal acts such as shoplifting, arson, assault, theft, break & enter, vandalism and mischief. They have assisted in collecting over $115,000 in restitution on behalf of victims from clients.

If you’re putting your garbage out at bedtime, you could be inviting bears for a midnight snack. Bears require 20,000 calories a day as they prepare for the winter months, packing on the weight for when their food supply is diminished. And a garbage can full of smelly leftovers and scraps is an easy meal. This summer, representatives from WildSafeBC will be prowling about at night looking for garbage cans set out too early. Cans set out too early will receive a yellow sticker as a reminder that they’re creating an animal attractant. And it’s not just bears that get accustomed to an easy, residential meal. When garbage cans are not kept clean, they can attract rodents. In turn, those rodents attract their own predators, such as coyotes and cougars. Keeping garbage cans secure throughout the week, and setting them out as close to pickup time as possible can lower the risk of urban-wildlife interactions. Although in Chilliwack the bylaw

Locals struggle at Fairview Matt Gudmundson was the top placing local at the 113th BC Mens’ Amateur Championship, held last week at Oliver’s Fairview Mountain Golf Club. Representing the Chilliwack Golf Club, Gudmundson tied for 55th at 20 over par, 30 shots off the scorching pace set by Kimberly native Jared Dutoit. Dutoit ran away with the tourney title. He was seven strokes better than Vancouver’s Stuart McDonald, who was the only other golfer to finish below par. Gudmundson carded

rounds of 75-70-79-84, highlighted by a second round eagle on the 17th hole. Connor McLellan finished in a tie for 73rd at 30 over par, an unexpected result for one of the stars of the University of the Fraser Valley mens’ golf team. He scored rounds of 73-76-88-81. A third Chilliwackian, Kaleb Fisher, missed the cut after the second round, finishing 21 over with rounds of 78 and 87.

Slow finish follows fast start Chilliwack’s Brad Clapp cleared the cut at a second straight PGA Tour Canada tournament, finishing in a tie for 48th at the Staal Foundation Open. The event was held over four days last weekend at the Whitewater Golf Club in Thunder Bay, ON. Clapp’s best rounds were his early rounds. He carded a 68 in Thursday’s opener and a 69 on day two, leaving him seven under par and four strokes clear of the -3 cut line. But Clapp faded from contention

in the last two rounds, scoring a 73 Saturday and a 74 Sunday to finish four under par. That left him 14 strokes off the pace set by tournament winner J.J. Spaun. Clapp collected $621.25 for the effort and has nearly two full weeks to prepare for the next event, which brings him closer to home.

Grizzlies gaining US respect GW Graham’s varsity football team once more proved their mettle against American foes on an annual trip to Oregon. Twenty one Grizzlies, including four from GWG’s junior squad, trekked to Camp Rilea two weekends ago, joining 17 teams from Oregon and Washington State. The Grizz went 3-2 in the seven-on-seven passing tournament that they won last year. They took on 15 teams in the

Battle for the Beach, a double elimination knockout Texas shoot out tourney. “Each team gets four chances to score from the 10 yard line, then one chance from the three yard line, then a coin flip for offense and defense if still tied,” said GWG coach Laurie Smith. Individually, Jaren Lengert produced 46 reps at 135 pounds to win the heavyweight linemen bench press endurance competition.

Gabe Olivares turned in 36 reps to win the skill player competition and Emerson Smith’s 24 reps earned him runner-up status in the lightweight skill player division. Olivares came back to take the punt/pass/kick title. “Our guys made us very proud,” Smith said. “I had so many compliments from American coaches who have watched our program grow over the past four seasons.”

Bronco legend brings goalie camp to Chilliwack A National Hockey League goalie coach brings netminding instruction to Chilliwack August 7-8. Bill Horn has been the lead instructor at Carolina Hurricane goalie camps the last eight years. His brother, Bob Horn, lives in Chilliwack and has arranged for Bill to hold one of his

Horn Goaltending Maximum Potential camps here. “Our oldest son is a goalie and we have looked at getting him some extra help in his development,” Bob explained. “We have some very good hockey people in Chilliwack, but most goaltenders need to go elsewhere to get the higher end

instruction.” Bill Horn brings significant experience to the rink. A legend at the University of Western Michigan, he spent four years (1985-89) in the NCAA ranks. He left as the Broncos’ all-time leader in wins, earning AllAmerican honours in his freshman season.

Bill was inducted into WMU’s Ring of Honor in 2014. Drafted by the Hartford Whalers in the 1986 NHL Entry Draft, he spent parts of eight years in pro hockey, making two trips to the American Hockey League’s Calder Cup finals with the Rochester Americans. He also won two

titles in the now defunct Roller Hockey International league, with the Anaheim Bullfrogs in 1993 and Orlando Jackals in 1996. Horn claims 25 years developing young netminders, starting as an instructor at the Western Canadian Goaltending School when he was still a teenager.

Fifteen kids are signed up for the Chilliwack camp, which is supported by, but not officially affiliated with, Chilliwack Minor Hockey. It will be held at Twin Rinks. Bob said they can take another five or six registrants before capping if off. “If you get too many

it gets watered down,” he said. “We want to make sure the kids that benefit from what they’re getting.” The cost is $325 per player. Get more info from Bill via email at horngoaltending@gmail. com. Info is also available online at horngoaltending.com

The first duty prescribed by God for His servants is the recognition of Him Who is the Dayspring of His Revelation and the Fountain of His laws, Who representeth the Godhead in both the Kingdom of His Cause and the world of creation. Whoso achieveth this duty hath attained unto all good; and whoso is deprived thereof hath gone astray, though he be the author of every righteous deed.
