A fire that broke out Saturday on the west side of Harrison Lake continues to grow, despite aggressive efforts to contain the blaze. Campers were evacuated from the area as firefighters on the ground and from the air battled the fire. For video of their efforts, go online to www.theprogress.com. BC WILDFIRE SERVICE PHOTO

Fire forces campground evacuations A fire north of Harrison Hot Springs continued to burn aggressively Tuesday. Strong winds on Monday and overnight have helped dramatically expanded the size of the wildfire, burning in a popular recreation area near Wood Lake. The fire is now estimated at 600 hectares. Fire officials say the blaze may be even larger; thick smoke is making it difficult to determine the exact perimeter of the fire. The massive Martin Mars water bomber was called in on

The Mars water bomber, which can drop more than 27,000 litres of water in one pass, joined several smaller tanker planes in battling fire. As of Tuesday, more than 135 firefighters were on the ground, while nine helicopters attacked from the air. Campers were evacuated from 10-Mile Bay and Wood Lake on Sunday. And while 20-Mile Bay was not directly threatened, campers were escorted out of

While the signs of an upcoming election have been apparent for weeks, the federal election campaign season officially began on Sunday. Voters now have until Oct. 19 to decide on a worthy candidate, and in Chilliwack-Hope, that means consideration of at least a few new faces. So far, five parties have announced candidates in this riding, including incumbent Conservative Mark Strahl. Challenging his seat in parliament are Seonaigh MacPherson for the NDP, Louie De Jaeger for the Liberal party, Thomas Cheney for the Green Party, and Alexander Johnson for the Libertarians. Strahl won over the majority of the voters in 2011, earning 57 per cent of their ballots. His win followed a three-term run by his father, Chuck Strahl, also a Conservative. Over the past four elections, the NDP have been the biggest threat to the long-standing Conservative seat. In 2011, the NDP took a quarter of the votes, with then-candidate Gwen O’Mahoney. This time around, MacPherson has been campaigning since December, going door to door in both Chilliwack and Hope. “I’ve heard the calls for change grow louder,” she said in a press release sent out this week. “Families are working harder than ever, but they can’t get ahead. Many say we’re in another recession. Clearly, Stephen Harper’s plan isn’t working.” The Liberals also earn a fair share of the votes in this riding, with anywhere from eight to 16 per cent over the past four elections. Liberal candidate De Jaeger had

“If the economy is bad, do we have to stay with Harper because he’s the best man to manage it or does he get the blame?” The bigger danger for Harper is that “once people start humming the change tune, it’s pretty hard to reverse it.” For the Conservatives to win even a minority, the Tories may need the anti-Harper vote split as evenly as possible between the Liberals and NDP, Smith said, and many votes bled off by the Greens as well. He thinks the Conservatives will struggle to hold onto their seats in B.C.and the Greens may take another seat or two from the NDP on Vancouver Island. “These things could become more significant if we end up in a minority government with different permutations and combinations.”

Federal election lawn signs have begun to sprout now that Prime Minister Stephen Harper has fired the starting pistol on what will be a 78-day campaign, the longest in modern history. The prime minister visited Governor General David Johnston at Rideau Hall Sunday morning to dissolve Parliament and begin the election set for Oct. 19. The voting day had been fixed in legislation and party leaders had been in campaign mode for weeks, but dropping the writ this far ahead means spending limits will be in force for much longer than the typical 36 days. That will give a financial

advantage to Harper and the Conservatives, according to SFU political scientist Patrick Smith. “They certainly have the largest war chest,” Smith said. “Money matters in politics.” He predicts the Tories will far outspend their rivals and might be in a position to blitz advertising channels late in the campaign when NDP and Liberal coffers may be nearly exhausted. A campaign more than twice the usual length means a spending limit twice as high – more than $50 million per party – that only the Tories have a realistic shot at fully exploiting. “They have more money than the other parties so they can withstand a longer race.” The early writ drop means third party advertising – such as union-

said. “So people who think about the longer game will be thinking about those kinds of things.” The longest campaign in more than a century will also mean higher costs to taxpayers. Elections Canada’s costs will be higher to mobilize staff earlier. And more spending than usual by the parties would translate into a higher government subsidy back to the them for use in future campaigns. As for significant issues, Smith expects the federal push for new oil pipelines across B.C. will hurt the Conservatives in this province. But he said the slowing economy will be the dominant issue on voters’ minds in deciding which party to support. Another month of economic contraction could make a suspected recession official by September. Smith isn’t sure that would necessarily be bad for the PM.

funded anti-Tory attack ads by Engage Canada – will now be subject to a tight $200,000 spending limit, largely clamping down on their influence. That was a key motivation for starting the campaign now rather than waiting, Smith said. “It shuts up third party advertising and at the moment they see that as problematic.” A long, financial war of attrition on the hustings could have ramifications beyond who actually wins the election. Smith currently predicts a Conservative minority. In that scenario, he says, a cash-depleted or possibly indebted opposition will be less inclined to topple a minority Tory government and force a new election. “They’re not likely to try to trigger an election in the first six months, so that helps stabilize a Conservative minority,” Smith

campaign emphasizing signs of weakness in the Canadian economy, with the latest statistics showing the economy contracting in the first five months of the year. “Wages are falling, incomes are stagnant, and household debt is skyrocketing,” Mulcair said at his campaign kickoff in Hull, Quebec. “Middle-class families are working harder than ever, and can’t get ahead.” Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has also focused his campaign on middle-class voters, with a central policy of reducing tax on middle income and increasing it for the top one per cent of income earners. Green Party leader Elizabeth May began the campaign in her home riding of SaanichGulf Islands. Her economic platform also calls for tax increases for the highest income earners, as well as increasing corporate income tax rates to 2008 levels.

The early election call increases spending limits for parties and caps it for third-party advertisers such as labour unions that have been targeting Harper. It also leaves some ridings without nominated candidates. Another change is in debate formats, as first Harper and then Mulcair declined the traditional debate organized by TV networks. The first national debate is set for Thursday, Aug. 6, hosted by Maclean’s magazine. Among the topics will be sharp differences over Canada’s role in the international military action against Islamic State terrorists in Iraq and Syria. Harper renewed Canada’s commitment to maintain six fighter jets and special forces support in one of his last acts before calling the election. Both the NDP and Liberals are promising to end Canadian bombing of Islamic State positions. Mulcair would withdraw all military personnel from Iraq and Syria, while Trudeau supports keeping military trainers in place, with both promising increased humanitarian aid.

Youth are finding more secured shelter than they were when the McCreary Centre completed a similar report in 2006. Youth are now more likely to have stayed in a safe hour or shelter or to have couch surfed, and less likely to stay in a squat, or abandoned building. Youth staying more precarious housing were more likely

to have missed out on care, the report found. There were also some improvements in substance use in comparison to 2006, with more youth waiting until they were 15 or older to try alcohol or marijuana, and decreases in the percentages who had used tobacco and other substances (including ecstasy, heroin, and crystal meth). The use of crystal meth dropped from 50 per cent to about 30 per cent from 2006 to 2014. Despite these improvements almost 1

An early election call and voter fatigue

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

There were few surprises when Stephen Harper dissolved Parliament on Sunday and triggered a federal election Oct. 19. Parties were already on the hustings, knowing well in advance when the election would be held. But the early call has risen a few eyebrows, given that the mandatory minimum length for a campaign is 37 days, and most elections in recent history have been fairly close to that target. In fact, you have to go all the way back to 1926 for a 74-day election campaign. The question then is why is Harper pulling the plug now, particularly when Canadians are enjoying their summer holidays and backyard barbecues and aren’t interested in what happens in Ottawa? The answer isn’t particularly clear but obviously Harper and his strategists believe that calling the writ now gives the governing party a solid advantage over the opposition parties, and that could certainly be the case after MPs handed out millions of dollars in grants to various community groups in the past few weeks. But there is also a danger in launching the campaign early, and that is escalating voter fatigue. Increasingly, Canadians are tired of what appears to be the new normal in politics — attack, attack, attack, with very few concrete solutions to major issues coming to the table. After 78 days of negative ads from all parties and photo-ops, the public may be completely worn out from the exercise. What will that do to voter turnout? ~ Black Press

B.C. V IEWS

Prospects for B.C.’s biggest investment VICTORIA – Now that the political back-and-forth is over, there are two questions left about the Petronas-led proposal to make the biggest private-sector investment in B.C. history. Will it actually happen? And is it a good deal or a bad one? Premier Christy Clark ducked the first question on the day the project agreement for Pacific Northwest LNG was approved by the B.C. legislature. “After many predictions about the Canucks and the Alberta election, I don’t make predictions any more,” Clark said. “But I can say that this project has gone farther than any of our critics said that it would.” For what it’s worth, my prediction is on record: it will go ahead. The latest evidence is the company’s continued, costly effort to gain federal and local approval for a suspension bridge to Lelu

Island to minimize the marine impact. Lax Kw’alaams Band members could not have had details on that change from an under water pipeline when they voted to oppose the project in May. Is it a good deal? The mayors of Prince Rupert and Port Edward have made their Tom views clear – they FLETCHER see it as a lifeline for an area that has struggled for years with a faded forest and fishing industry. The B.C. NDP is also now clear, having voted against the project agreement in the brief summer session of the legislature that concluded last week. Whether the project proceeds or not, this will be a key election

issue in 2017. NDP leader John Horgan and other MLAs made much of the lack of job guarantees, pointing to similar projects in Australia. Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman issued a statement with excerpts from the state of Western Australia’s agreement for the Gorgon LNG project. The so-called guarantees contain qualifiers like this: “... except in those cases where … it is not reasonable or economically practical to do so, use labour available within Western Australia.” Obviously there were no job guarantees, which could only exist in a command economy, in other words a communist dictatorship. Ever yone agrees that specialized trades such as welding alloys for low-temperature operation will be brought in. And LNG

processing trains will be shipped in pre-fabricated from places like South Korea, as they have been in Australia and elsewhere. Pacific Northwest LNG is on record with federal regulators that in the latter stages of construction, the use of foreign labour for the project could reach 70 per cent. Does that make it a bad deal? Perhaps B.C. could attempt develop this expertise from the ground up. It seems to me that was tried with aluminum ship fabrication, and it didn’t work out too well. For David Keane, president of the B.C. LNG Alliance, the question is how many large LNG projects, pipelines and all, can be managed at the same time as the Site C dam is being built. It was skilled labour shortages, and particularly a shortage of supervisors, that caused Australia to lose

some of its proposed projects. Keane said all LNG proponents here want to use as much local labour as they can, because it’s less expensive and it builds local support. And he disagrees that B.C. is a sweet deal for the industry. Among other things, pipelines have to be built across two mountain ranges. Not only that, B.C. producers would pay an LNG income tax, which is a first in the history of the industry. Add to that PST, GST, payroll taxes, municipal taxes and federal and provincial corporate income taxes. Add aboriginal revenue sharing, and we have a deal.

SILK & WHITE SATIN The Chilliwack

Progress

Local perspective on Greek crisis neither understood nor wanted. When the drachma gave way to the euro, their peaceful lifestyle and economic sovereignty rapidly disappeared. When their debt increased due to ageold practises which sustained their age-old lifestyle, more money was loaned to Greece to meet growing shortfalls. This was analogous to giving drug addicts more drugs to fix their problem. These expanded and extended loans were debts Greece couldn’t repay which led to their present-day crisis. One cannot expect a nonchalant, easy-going society like Greece’s to suddenly shift gears, like a Ferrari, into a ‘nose-to-the-grindstone’, treadmill-like, North-European workworld which does not enhance their already carefree lifestyle. To Greeks, it makes no sense whatsoever. The question now remains: who should pay for this gross miscalculation of a social, reengineering experiment gone awry: the unwitting Greeks who are the victims or the incompetent EU bankers who led them ‘down the garden path’ to economic disaster?

North Americans are befuddled by Greek workers’ staunch denial of their dire, economic plight and, by the same token, Greeks are befuddled why others don’t understand their anger. Just who is to blame – this is the conundrum. Today, Greece’s economy lies in tatters for various reasons, most of which seems rather elementary. Long before entering Economics 101, one learns that you cannot spend more than you earn – this applies to governments just as it does to individuals even though governments use creative, adjustable accounting techniques which individuals cannot. A brief analysis of Greece’s collapsing economy shows that: a) its public debt is almost 50% larger than its Gross Domestic Product (GDP), b) its GDP is shrinking dramatically, c) its annual spending far outstrips its earnings, d) its youth unemployment is disproportionately high, e) its workers’ pension benefits are extremely generous, f) tax evasion is rampant and out of control, and g) annual inflation rates are eating away at any solid signs of growth. Greek anger does have a basis, though. During better times (1960s) before Marshall McLuhan’s ‘global village’, and

technology, placed ever yone under an international microscope and into a single, economic ‘microcosm’, Greeks lived a slow-paced, idyllic life, one which many could easily adapt to if one had a choice between our fast-paced, money-driven ‘rat race’ or living a quiet life which provides ample time for family, friends, and life’s general enjoyment. Even Athens’ street-dogs were happy. Most North Americans cannot grasp this concept since they have never experienced it. When the European Union concept was born – mostly fostered by hard-working, temperate climate, northern countries like Germany, Netherlands, Belgium and France – they did not take into account that entire cultures (namely Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal) would have to undergo complete makeovers to fit into the maelstrom of new, aggressive, fast-paced, ‘dog-eatdog’, Western-style economies. Early EU partners never fathomed that such a cultural shift would be a hindrance, let alone a major ‘wrench into the works’. The laid-back ‘ebb and flow’ of southern, European countries which existed for millennia was suddenly thrust into an unfamiliar, undesirable, gerbil-in-acage, work-world which they

Couple of election ideas for hopefuls

Liberal government plays games with public trust

Election on. Oh my, another lacklustre exercise of apathy. Oops, we are a democracy. “Canadian citizens normally elect someone to represent them in making decisions at the different levels of government.” OK, maybe here is our chance to stand up and make a change, we may start with consideration of the following: election of judges. Dissolve the Trans Pacific Partnership. It will be interesting to hear what the possible hopefuls will say.

In 1991, the people of British Columbia threw out the Socred government for playing games with the public trust. In 2001, they threw out the NDP government for playing games with the public trust. About three years ago, eight pharmaceutical researchers were fired by the Liberal government and falsely told they were under investigation by the RCMP for alleged criminal data breach. The RCMP have stated that no investigation was either conducted or requested and the government has apologized to the researchers, but not before one of them committed suicide, unable to handle the stress of a fictitious investigation. I would like to know why the RCMP has not charged the government of British Columbia with either public mischief or criminal negligence causing suicide. If the government is stressing someone to the point of suicide, doesn’t that constitute playing games with the public trust, and would someone please advise the people of British Columbia what does?

GOODBYE SUMMER

to time,â&#x20AC;? TI Corp. CEO Irene Kerr said. TransLink also raised the toll on the Golden Ears Bridge earlier this summer, but the increase there was not as much â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â five cents to $3.05 per crossing. The Port Mann increase comes after a revised TI Corp. financial outlook made public earlier this year showed annual operating losses had climbed above $100 million per year because the number of drivers using the bridge and the resulting toll revenue has not met original forecasts. But Kerr rejected suggestions that was a driver of this summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toll hike. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re right on track for meeting our financial obligations and paying back the debt,â&#x20AC;? Kerr said. The total project debt has climbed to $3.6 billion from an initial project cost of $3.3 billion and 2014 actually saw a 3.9 per cent decrease in Port Mann bridge use. TI Corp. expects improved performance in future years. Traffic has been up so far in 2015. There

were 112,300 crossings per day on average in June, up 5.6 per cent from the same month a year earlier and up 3.1 per cent from June 2013. Kerr was unable to provide any guidance on the pace of toll increases motorists should expect in future years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal has been to keep the toll as low as possible and minimize increases,â&#x20AC;? Kerr said. NDP transportation critic Claire Trevena said drivers continue to pay the price for a project that has failed to meet expectations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The forecast in 2006 was for almost 149,000 daily crossings by 2013,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The actual crossings are nowhere near that.â&#x20AC;? Higher tolls may drive use down further, worsening the financial picture and the congestion at free crossings, Trevena said. She said the province should give drivers â&#x20AC;&#x153;fair warningâ&#x20AC;? of how tolls are expected to rise in the future, as BC Ferries has done by telegraphing its intent to raise fares two per cent in each of the next four years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was no plan or strategy here. This toll increase came completely out of the blue.â&#x20AC;? The TI Corp. is charged with ensuring the project costs are paid off by 2050, when tolls on the bridge are supposed to end. Medium vehicles â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â cars with trailers, cube vans and motor homes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will now pay $6.30 per crossing instead of $6, while larger vehicles like commercial trucks and buses will pay $9.45 instead of $9. The toll for motorcycles rises from $1.50 to $1.60. The tolls are what registered TReO users pay because their vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decal is automatically detected and their account is charged. Non-TReO vehicles pay an additional billing fee that reflects the costs of scanning their licence plates and mailing out paper bills. More than 1.5 million vehicles are registered with TReO, about twothirds of all vehicles in Metro Vancouver.

News Street youth remain optimistic: SUMMER McCreary study SIZZLERS! Babysitting, injection sites and veterinarian services were also mentioned. “We need easier access to food banks,” one teen wrote in the survey. “Help parents to make it easier to support their children,” another one wrote. Despite their situation, the majority of street youth can see a brighter future. When asked where they saw themselves in five years’ time, youth most commonly felt that they would have a job (53 per cent), a home of their own (40 per cent), a family (24 per cent) and be in school (24 per cent). However, nine per cent thought they would be dead, five per cent thought they would be in prison, and three per cent felt they would be on the street. Twenty-three percent of youth indicated not knowing what the future held for them. “We should all be more accepting and less judgmental of street kids,” the report reads. Connections the community and family play an important role in both keeping kids off the street, and in helping them out of street situations. Aboriginal youth are over-represented in the street youth community, with 53 per cent of respondents identifying as Aboriginal. However, cultural experiences such as learning a First Nation language, lead to more positive outcomes.

Acclaimed country artist Bobby Wills will be joined by Danielle Marie this Friday to kick off the 143rd annual Chilliwack Fair.

Bobby Wills brings the country Friday at the fair Sam Bates The Progress The 143rd Annual Chilliwack Fair kicks off this Friday with Bobby Wills taking centre stage on Country Night. The Progress caught up with Bobby to ask how his summer tour’s been going and to get a hint of his plans for the show this weekend. Wills, originally from Alberta, won the 2013 Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA) Rising Star award after he released his second album If It Was That Easy (2012), and his rise to fame has certainly been a unique one. Wills’ adoptive parents raised him listening to country music, but it wasn’t until he first met

his biological parents later in life that he realized music was in his blood. He discovered that he shared his biological father’s “affinity for a great lyric,” a skill which has translated into what Wills feels is his responsibility to his listeners — to make them feel something. The meeting that revealed his musical and artistic genealogy was what truly solidified Wills’ serious aspirations for a musical career. Wills has now released his third album, Crazy Enough, with MDM Recordings in June 2014 and has been on a whirlwind of touring ever since. “I’ve been touring the record coast to coast, from PEI all the way to Victoria,” he says.

And while Wills is still building up a tolerance to all the airplanes involved (he’d rather take the bus, he says), performing in front of the fans with his bandmate ‘brothers’ is a “crazy, wonderful experience.” Wills proudly comments on his growing success, “there’s nothing better than playing to a crowd and hearing them sing the songs back to you,” which he’s been thrilled to experience a lot on this tour. A crazy show schedule hasn’t kept Wills from working on new material, though. “By the time people hear the album on tour, we’ve usually already been working on the new stuff for a while.” While Wills will surely be performing the favourites, he also

told The Progress that Chilliwack joined by Danielle Marie, an upfans will be hearing a couple new and-coming country singer from songs. In fact “it’ll be the first Vancouver. “She’s working really time they’ve been played for any- hard and she’s doing it without body,” he says. a whole lot of help,” Wills says, Wills says that “It’s nice to she’s he’s excited to be progressing.” performing in B.C.

Fortin’s was established in Chilliwack in 1946 by Charlie Fortin Senior and his son Laurence. In 1916 Charlie began working on vehicles with names like Overland Cars, Rumsey Tractors, and McLaughlin Buick Automobiles. While Laurence was in Europe serving in World War II, Charlie envisioned an automotive machine shop and parts distribution centre in the Fraser Valley. When Laurence returned, 48 hours later they began their dream. 35 years ago Jeff joined the team making him the 3rd generation Fortin, and current president. After obtaining a UBC-O business degree and working for a leading auto/ industrial supplier in Ontario for 3 years, Jeff ’s son Sean joined Fortin’s becoming the 4th generation to do so. Fortin’s has 3 locations: Garrison Crossing (Vedder Rd), Chilliwack (Airport Rd) and Abbotsford (South Fraser Way). Chilliwack’s two locations are a combination of auto/industrial and

Home Hardware while Abbotsford is auto/industrial. Last year the Airport Road location expanded increasing the main building to 22,000 feet, allowing us to grow the auto/industrial inventory space by 40%. Large inventories are only part of the recipe to help solve our customer’s problems. Another key factor is our team who have hundreds of years of combined experience, a rarity these days. Chilliwack’s expansion saw the machine shop, Fortin’s Engines, double in size by moving into their own shop behind the main building. Fortin’s Engines has built a strong reputation and ships motors across the country and into the States.

PAINT CANADA PINK WEEK Everyone I know is or has been impacted by breast cancer, one way or another. And as long as there are patients there is a need for funding to find a cure. August 17-23, the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation is celebrating “Paint Canada Pink Week”, in support of the breast cancer cause and to encourage participation in the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure on October 4th. Volunteers from coast to coast put on activities in their communities to build awareness during this week. In Chilliwack, the organizing committee of the CIBC Run for the Cure is inviting local businesses to take part, and invites your company to show support by displaying a pink ribbon decal on store windows as part of “Paint Chilliwack Pink!” The camaraderie of local businesses in support of the breast cancer cause will showcase a positive message in Chilliwack. The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure is Sunday, October 4th at Rotary Stadium in Abbotsford. Questions? Want to be involved? Contact Liane Hoogenraad: lhoogenraad@cbcfrun.org

WHAT IS A ROTARIAN?

The object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis for worthy enterprise. Indeed! However, who or exactly what is a Rotarian? A Rotarian is: A local financial advisor and a retired dairy farmer, who at their own expense, travel to Africa to help immunise children there against the crippling disease of polio. A retired businessman who donates his time and money to provide wheel chairs for crippled adults and children in the poorer countries of the world. A nursing instructor who facilitates Meals on Wheels deliveries for senior citizens. A municipal employee who initiates a program to send needy children home each weekend with a back pack filled with food for themselves and their families. A retired financial planner who promotes reading and literacy for young children within the community. A local businessman who delivers much needed breakfasts to local elementary school students. As well as a host of local people, male and female, of varied professions, trades and businesses who have worked tirelessly to help provide their community with great leisure outlets, such as swimming pools, theatres and hiking, running and biking trails. These are but a small example of the - Service Before Self – efforts of committed local Rotarians. The theme for this coming Rotary year is BE A GIFT TO THE WORLD. The Rotary Club of Chilliwack is progressing toward that goal by conducting on-going campaigns to support special projects such as those mentioned above.

children, but has now developed into a counselling, training, and educational and facility for any individual, group, or any family who needs it. The STAR program (formerly the YES program), runs three days per week for three weeks, and it teaches teens the skills necessary to succeed in obtaining and maintaining employment. Teens will participate in both fun and challenging activities, including volunteer and work assignments with local businesses, in order to target practical skills like problem solving, conflict resolution, stress management, interview skills, and many more. “We’ve seen a deficit in our community: many young people don’t know what it takes to get or keep a job,” says Youth Counsellor, Imraan Gazdar. “We are here to fill that need.” The STAR program teams up with local businesses to create work placements that appeal to a range of interests. In the past, they’ve offered placements in Long & McQuade, Little Mountain Veterinar y Clinic, and Julie Anne’s Art & Framing, to name a few. “Participants quite often end up with a part-time or summer job out of it,” says Patti MacAhonic, Executive Director at Ann Davis. Participants of the STAR program will also a receive certificate of completion, a letter of reference, and employment counselling (as needed) which are valuable assets when looking for a career. The next program runs August 4 to 20, located at 9046 Young Road in Chilliwack. There is no fee for this program. Interested youth should apply via telephone (604-792-2760) and will then be contacted for an interview. Visit www.AnnDavis. org to learn more about the program and other services that are offered.

relaxed and less worried about what other people are doing. If you do start to feel anxious at the gym, you’ll have a support person there to help you. As an added bonus, working out with a buddy will help you stick to your fitness program. • Go off peak hours. Early mornings and evenings are the busiest times at the gym. In my personal experience, most of the heavy lifters frequent the gym in the evening. If you can, go at quieter times. You’ll also end up waiting less to use equipment. • Remember that no one really cares what you’re doing. “You wouldn’t worry so much about what people really thought of you if you knew how seldom they do” –Unknown. Everyone is at the gym because they want to keep fit. Spend your time at the gym focusing on your workout, just like everyone else is focusing on his or her workout. While gymtimidation is real, it doesn’t have to quash your dreams of getting fit. Whether you choose to overcome your fear of the gym, or opt for

FOR ALL YOUR STORAGE NEEDS!

One of my clients summed it up perfectly “I didn’t want to go to the gym until it looked like I didn’t need to go to the gym”. That’s exactly why he became a client. Gymtimidation, defined by Urbandictonary.com as “The fear of working out at a gym because ever yt h i n g from the crazy Tanja contraptions to SHAW the seriously ripped bodies is extraordinarily intimidating” is real. And it’s a vicious cycle. You need to start exercising, but feel uncomfortable going to the gym. When you finally get the nerve to go, you find that superfit people who obviously know what they’re doing surround you. You feel out of place, and self-conscious. Maybe you start comparing your fitness level to theirs and your self-esteem wanes. So, you stick to the treadmill and then never go back. And then you’re back at square one: you need to start exercising. Gymtimidation is real, but there are things you can do to overcome it, or get around it. • Think outside the gym. If the gym really does intimidate you and you’re not quite ready to commit to going, you don’t have to forgo getting fit. There are many alternatives to the regular gym. Consider a home workout, private fitness studio, or lacing up your running shoes and going outside. • Get a coach. A big barrier to feeling intimidated at the gym is simply not knowing what you’re doing. Perhaps even more serious than the risk of feeling selfconscious, is the potential for injury. A fitness coach can set you up on a fitness program, and show you how to do each exercise so you improve your fitness level and avoid getting injured. When you are comfortable with a program, you will have more confidence to workout at a gym. • Go with a friend. There’s power in numbers. When you go with a friend, you’ll be more

Huskers suffer from Sun-burn in home-field loss

A stingy Okanagan defence held the Valley Huskers to zero points Saturday night, and the visiting Sun walked away with a 64-0 win. The teams met at Exhibition Stadium and the Sun jumped out to a 17-0 lead before the game was 10 minutes old. The Huskers handed the Sun their first two points, conceding a safety when the offence got pinned at its goalline. Okanagan scored its first major on its first series, a six play drive that ended with Kasey Russell bulling in from the one yard line. The Sun needed just one play to score on their second series, with quarterback Cam Bedore arcing a pass over Husker defenders into the hands of Kyle

Kawamoto. The receiver raced into the endzone for the 54 yard scoring strike and a 17-0 lead. The defence was surprisingly resilient for the rest of the half, but the offence was no help at all. The Sun got an interception when Chilliwack quar terback Noah Falconer had a pass bounce off the hands of Blake Draper into the hands of Okanagan defensive back Brennan Van Nistlerooy. The Sun turned that turnover into a 34 yard field goal by Thomas Huber. Two more safeties conceded by a Husker offence that couldn’t move the sticks made it 24-0 and the Sun added one more major before halftime on a Josiah Joseph to Kyle Patchell scoring strike. After an entertaining half-time performance by Chilliwack Minor Football’s red and blue atom Giants, the Huskers returned for the second half and completely collapsed. Bedore hooked up with Huber on a 67 yard

pass and run. The visitors kept rotating QBs, and got their next major when Joseph found wideout Pierre-Luc Lord for a 45 yard TD. Russell got his second major of the game late in the third quarter to make it 54-0 and Jamie Turek added the final insult late in the fourth quarter, returning a Chilliwack punt 75 yards. The Husker offence managed one series of seven plays and another of six, otherwise turning in a series of twoand-outs. Falconer took a seat in the second half, but backup Brendan Briden did no better. The Husker D spent 90 per cent of the game on the field, turned in one goal-line stand, made a stop on a fake punt and should have had an interception from Chad Wiebe. A horrible pass interference call from the side judge wiped out one of the only positive moments for the home team, which now hits the road for four straight games.

Lifter powers to triple gold Chilliwack’s Joanne Bunnin dominated her power-lifting events, winning three gold medals at the 2015 Special Olympics World Games. Bunnin raised 52.50 kilograms (115.74 pounds) in the bench press, then hoisted 120 kilograms (264.55 lbs) in the dead lift. She won gold in both events,

and another for the combined championship. Bunnin was well, well ahead of second place Laura Boag of Great Britain who lifted a combined total of 90 kg. Egypt’s Aya Hussein was third at 35 kg. Find full results online at la2015. org

Academic excellence for Chief grads T wo former Chilliwack Chiefs have earned academic honours from the ECAC, an NCAA hockey conference representing 12 Ivy League schools. Luke Esposito and

Phil Zielonka both play for the Harvard Crimson. Both achieved a grade-point-average of at least 3.00 on a scale of 4.00 over the previous three semesters

— the second time Esposito has exceeded that standard. Thirty five BCHL grads were recognized, and the full list can be found at bchl. ca.

Cougars claim provincial crown

Tyler Mendonca’s backhanded catch in left field provided the final out in a dramatic gold medal game, giving his Chilliwack baseball team a provincial title. Mendonca’s peewee AA Cougars were in Mission two weekends ago for the championships, opening with three straight round

robin wins. Chilliwack dumped Prince George, Maple Ridge and Coquitlam heading into a tougher test versus Duncan. Chilliwack lost to Duncan in last year’s finals and was seeking revenge. The Cougars loaded the bases in the seventh inning and won on a suicide squeeze perfectly executed by Mendonca and Clay Kurtz. Chilliwack’s playoff opener against Kelowna was going in the wrong direction before Mother Nature intervened. Down 7-2 in the second, the skies opened

up and rain poured down, causing a threehour delay. A calm and collected Cougar squad returned to the diamond and clawed back for a 13-9 win. The Mission Twins provided the gold medal game opponent, and Chilliwack looked to make short work of them when they stormed out to a 10-0 lead. The Twins battled back, narrowing the gap to four (11-7) heading to the seventh inning. Mission had the bases loaded and two out when Mendonca made

his catch to secure the win. ● Conner Dykstra of the Chilliwack bantam AA Cougars team travels to St. Albert, AB. Aug. 13-17 to represent his province in the U-15 Western Championships. Dykstra will join the Tri-City Indians, who will play the role of Team BC against Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. The winner of this tournament goes on to a nationallevel competition. Dykstra is a pitcher/ catcher and is in his first year at the U-15 level.

Chilliwack golfer grabs top-20 spot in BC Senior Championships Roger Gilhespy shot a 16-overpar 232 over three rounds to finish 16th at the BC Senior Men’s Golf Championship. The event was held July 28-30. Gilhespy and 79 others went

the distance at the Swan-e-Set Bay Golf Course in Pitt Meadows, with another 72 missing the second round cut. Representing the Chilliwack Golf Club, Gilhespy’s best round

was his first, a four-over-par 76 that included birdies on the sixth and 13th holes. He finished 16 strokes behind the tourney winner, Burnaby’s John Gallacher, who was the only

golfer in the entire field to finish at even. Chilliwack’s T. Craig Robertson finished in a tie for 55th with a 27-over-par 243. Michael Dinney’s 34-over-par 250 left him 66th over-

all while Daniel Caton missed the cut. Find the full leaderboard at bcga. bluegolf.com/bluegolf/bcga15/ event/bcga1512/contest/8/leaderboard.htm

Final push for Hall of Fame nominations

The Chilliwack Sports Hall of Fame is extending its nomination deadline by two weeks to try and get the best class for 2015. The nomination deadline is now Aug. 15 at midnight, and CSHOF spokesman Barry Douglas urges Chilliwackians to get involved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve received several good nominations so far and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a certainty that we will have an excellent class going into the CSHOF this fall,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we want as many nominations as possible to make our decision as difficult as possible.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know there are a lot of qualified candidates out there who have yet to be nominated.â&#x20AC;? This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s submissions have revealed

names that werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on the radar, including an Olympic soccer player and Pan-Am Games wrestler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping our local sports groups will step up with even more names,â&#x20AC;? Douglas noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In particular, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for strong candidates in the builder category.â&#x20AC;? Renamed the Judy Fitzsimmons Builder Category in memory of the CSHOF founder, the builder category recognizes an administrator, coach, coaching staff, referee, official, trainer or volunteer. According to the CSHOF criteria, they must have attained a high level of excellence and brought recognition or honour to Chilliwack sport through ongoing dedication to building of athletes, teams or sport itself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are people in Chilliwack who were involved in founding many of our local sports organizations,â&#x20AC;? Douglas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their tireless behind-the-scenes work has helped make Chilliwack the great sports town it is, and the CSHOF would like to shine a spotlight on them.â&#x20AC;? Nomination criteria

Chilliwack FC still has space available in the U-11 (2005) and U-12 (2004) boys and girls groups for the fall soccer season. There is limited space in other age groups as well. To register, phone the CFC office at 604-792-0090 or click online to chilliwackfc.com.
