Medical pot production allowed on ag land Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It would have been city council’s preference to create a special zone for growing medical marijuana. But that’s not going to happen. The province changed the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) rules to specifically identify federally licensed medical marihuana production as an allowable farm use. Coun. Chris Kloot, chair of the agricultural advisory committee, called the move “disheartening” and “disappointing.” We’re W ’ It’s a big shift heading for cities and municipalities into an that will now be permitted to reguunknown late, but not to ban area medical pot growoperations in the Agricultural Land ~ Coun. Reserve. Chris Kloot Coun. Chuck Stam wondered during the meeting “if it wouldn’t make more sense to create a special zone,” like the one Chilliwack created for feed mills for example, so that community input could be sought. Peter Monteith, the city’s chief administrative officer, warned that a special zone would go “against the spirit” of the provincial directive on this matter. “This is a use that’s now permitted on ALR land,” said Monteith. “Council can do what they want, but it might get us into hot water with the province.” There’s now an expectation in place that local government bylaws will dovetail and be made consistent with provincial regulations and the bylaw standard by fall 2015. Kloot had asked during the council meeting Tuesday if there was anything that could be done about it being an allowed use on agriculture land. “I was looking for direction to see if there was an alternative,” he told The Progress Thursday. “I realize it’s a plant, but it’s illegal. I think we have to give credit to the prior council for trying to create a special zone. But the province smacked us down and said ‘Nope.’

Corn production might not be the only thing Chilliwack agricultural land is soon known for. The provincial government has made medical marijuana production a permitted use on farm land. GREG KNILL/ PROGRESS
Curbside organics collection coming for Chilliwack timeline to switch to organic waste collection couldn’t be speeded up. “I’m wondering if there is any opportunity to move faster on this,” asked Coun. Lum. “Everyone I talk to is surprised to hear that we’re not already removing organics from the waste stream.” The issue for City of Chilliwack is its contractual obligations at this point, and the
The Progress Chilliwack is moving to curbside collection of organic waste by May 2017. Plans to shift gears on the waste program, and get feedback about the changes, were announced at Tuesday’s council meeting. City councillor Jason Lum wanted to know if that two-year

existing waste contract the city has with Emterra expires in 2017, said Terra Friesen, manager of environmental services. “We could review that but it would be a challenge,” she said in response to the councillor’s question about moving forward faster than the proposed lead-up time. More than 43 per cent of the garbage contained in the bags making it to the curb is organic
materials, according to the pie chart presented Tuesday in the report. Another 12.5 per cent is recyclables, while 2.4 per cent was yard waste. Benefits for diversion of organics were cited like reducing landfill odours and greenhouse gases, making room in the landfill and putting the organics materials to good use through composting.

Outdoor smoking ban in Chilliwack starts Oct. 1 Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The biggest myth about the new ban on outdoor smoking in public spaces is that people can no longer smoke anywhere in Chilliwack. They can always retreat to the privacy of their own bathtub, noted Mayor Sharon Gaetz, who was trying to bring a little levity to the subject before going over the details of the new non-smoking bylaw at city hall at the council meeting on Tuesday. She was responding the flood of commentary on social media about the recently approved Outdoor Public Spaces Smoking Regulation bylaw, some of which didn’t get the facts straight. “They seldom go to the source
for information,” she said. So where can people smoke? The bylaw does not cover Crown land, private property, or sidewalks. Anyone choosing to smoke on a sidewalk has to be at least 10 metres away from any bus stop and follow laws limiting smoking around public and workplace doorways, windows and air intakes. All the no-smoking details are found with a FAQs online at www. chilliwack.com about the bylaw that received introduction and three readings Aug. 18. Gaetz clarified that outdoor use of vaporizers or e-cigarettes will also be prohibited under the new bylaw in the specified areas, as well as pipes, cigars and hookahs. “The whole issue came forward
at first over concern about severe dryness of trails and risk that cigarette smoking caused,” she said. There was a 200 per cent increase logged in the number of bark mulch and grass fires. One complaint they often hear about is people smoking near bus stops. “They can however smoke if they move 10 metres away from where people are waiting in line at a bus stop” the mayor said. City owned or controlled parking lots are included in the bylaw. For the most part voluntary compliance with the bylaw is expected, but bylaw enforcement officers will have the discretion to fine someone up to $500. “If people persist with smoking, we must enforce the bylaw,” she
said. But education and awareness will roll out first, on the city website, and new signage will follow that. “If you see someone smoking in a public space, be neighbourly and ask them gently and politely not to smoke. That is what we’re hoping will happen.” According to the bylaw, no smoking will be permitted within 15 metres of an outdoor playground, playing field, sports venue, ice arena, stadium or sports facility, or on any land owned by City of Chilliwack or School District 33, at a bus stop, park, off-leash dog park, pool, or trail. The new outdoor smoking regulation bylaw goes into effect on October 1, 2015.
Bad sockeye run has salmon watchers worried Jeff Nagel Black Press Conservationists are urging continued vigilance to protect returning sockeye salmon as the Fraser River run comes in at levels far below what was forecast. The latest estimate pegs the run size at 2.4 million salmon, barely a third of the 6.8 million mid-range projection of fishery managers. Commercial fishing that was anticipated for August never happened because of the low returns. About 150,000 sockeye have been taken in First Nations food fisheries. “We don’t have the abundance we were expecting,” said Jennifer Nener, Lower Fraser area director for DFO. Unusually warm ocean temperatures over the past two years are thought to have reduced the food supply in the North Pacific for the sockeye now returning, and exposed them to more predators usually found further south. On top of that, the salmon that have made it back to the Fraser have had to battle dangerously hot river temperatures and low stream levels as a result of this summer’s drought and last winter’s record low snowpack. Watershed Watch Salmon Society commercial fishery adviser Greg Taylor is concerned far fewer of the stressed salmon that get past Mission will survive to reach their spawning grounds this year and effectively breed. Last summer, 1.7 million late-run sockeye that were counted as having gone upriver never reached the spawn-

Any Fraser River sockeye salmon that come up in commercial fishing nets this year are likely to be taken as a bycatch in an upcoming pink salmon fishery. BLACK PRESS FILE PHOTO
ing beds and Taylor fears a repeat is in store. “This is nowhere near the 2009 debacle,” he said, referring to the sockeye collapse that triggered the Cohen Inquiry. “But this is not a very good scenario.” Now, a large number of pink salmon are beginning to enter the river – that run size is projected at 14.5 million. Commercial fishermen who have been barred from the sockeye fishery are expected to want to catch as many pinks as possible. But seine boats that net up pinks in the weeks ahead could end up killing late-running sockeye as a bycatch. Late sockeye returns are

down sharply from a forecast 1.24 million to an estimated 300,000. Commercial boats fishing for pinks would be directed to release sockeye that are caught but Taylor is skeptical many netted sockeye would survive after being tossed back. “You’ve got to have extremely good compliance, you’ve got to have good fishing techniques in terms of handling those fish and you’ve got to have observers on board,” he said. “I know people want to get at those pinks and we’re not saying no pink fishing. But there are real concerns about that fishery.”
Sports fishing for Fraser sockeye has also been banned this summer and there’s been growing pressure on some anglers who claim to fish for other species but use bottom bouncing or “flossing” techniques to snag sockeye that don’t normally bite a hook. Taylor, a former commercial fisherman, thinks DFO should cut off all river bank fishing when sockeye is nonretention due to conservation concerns and recreational anglers refuse to use more selective methods. But he doesn’t believe fishery managers have the political will to enforce such a policy.
Still some confusion about what the new bylaw will and won’t allow.
Chilliwack man arrested for multiple mail thefts A Chilliwack man is in jail and facing multiple mail theft charges, following a joint police investigation in the eastern Fraser Valley. David Charles McGill, 47, of Chilliwack faces eight charges of theft of mail, one charge of possession of break and enter tools, and one charge of possession of a controlled substance. McGill remains in custody pending a court appearance in early September. The charges stem from the ongoing investigation of mail thefts reported to police from across the Fraser Valley Region since early 2015. “Information obtained during our investigations led police to believe a blue pickup owned by Mr. McGill was involved in a number of the mail thefts being committed in the district,” said Cpl. Brock Rayworth of the UFVRD Crime Reduction Unit. On Friday, Aug. 28 at about 2:30 a.m. officers of the UFVRD Crime Reduction Unit were made aware of the blue pickup truck in the area of Lougheed Highway and Ashton Road in Agassiz. Officers immediately converged on the location to find the Canada Post community mailbox damaged with compartments opened. UFVRD officers continued to investigate the incident, following a trail of eight damaged mail boxes through the communities of Agassiz and Deroche until just after 5 a.m. they stopped the blue pickup in the 34000 block of Brient Drive in Mission. The driver, David McGill, was quickly taken into custody by police who found further evidence inside the vehicle linking him to the alleged mail thefts committed that morning. “We partnered with investigators of the Abbotsford Police Service Crime Reduction Unit and with Canada Post Investigators and continue to pursue every lead of this multi jurisdictional mail theft investigation,” says Cpl. Rayworth.

Record rainfall on Tuesday caps a wet end to August It’s been a long, hot summer of drought. Those conditions changed when some heavy rain arrived last week. A record rainfall was recorded Sept. 1 with 37.6 mm of the wet stuff coming down, said Roger Pannett, volunteer weather observer for Environment
Canada. The previous record on that day was 36.0 mm in 1980. Most of the rain fell at the end of August. “Near month’s end the high pressure system, that had trapped wildfire smoke over southern B.C., shifted east,” noted Pannett. “A pair of incom-

SALMON from page 3 “I’m appalled,” Taylor said, adding such blatant disregard of regulations by the commercial fleet would never be tolerated. “They know people are not complying. If they knew a significant component of the commercial fleet was not complying with the regulations, that fishery would be shut down. That’s a big-time double standard there.” Pink salmon that are ocean “ranched” – raised by hatcheries and let loose to forage at sea – by Alaska, Russia and Asian countries

are also thought to be a problem for sockeye in the North Pacific, where the pinks compete for food. Alaskan fisheries in Prince William Sound are expected to net a record 100 million pinks this year, a reflection of the massive number of pink fry the U.S. state sends out to sea. “You just can’t keep on pumping out artificially propagated fish into the North Pacific at a time when habitats may be becoming constrained because of warm water, climate change and other issues,” Taylor said. – with files from Jennifer Feinberg
Single parents on income and disability assistance are now eligible for new training, child care and transportation funds to attend training for in-demand jobs. Effective Sept. 1, the program also increases the monthly earning exemption for parents who receive assistance, from $200 to $400 for income assistance recipients and from $300 to $500. For eligible training, payments for child care, public transit and exemptions for bursaries and scholarships are available for up to a year. Applications for the program are handled by WorkBC Employment Services Centres, which also provide workshops on resume writing and interview preparation.

News ALR land cleared for med marijuana ALR from Front “So we’re heading into an unknown area,” Kloot said. Chilliwack now has to redo its zoning bylaw that applies to medical marijuana production, since it had decided to create a special industrial zone, an M6 zoning. A new public hearing on the rezoning bylaw to allow it on ag land is set for Sept. 15. Mayor Sharon Gaetz said Chilliwack would have preferred
treating medical pot like a pharmaceutical, rather than an agricultural product. In council chambers she suggested a cursory note could be sent to the B.C. agriculture minister as a follow-up. “Maybe we could put in additional safeguards about odour, setbacks and chemicals,” she said. “But let there be no mistake that the template the province is now using is there in part

because of the concerns local governments like Chilliwack had. They conceded on some and medical grow-ops will be taxed at an industrial rate.” That alleviates one of Chilliwack’s concerns. “The other was the concern that arable land will have a bunker on it. But this is as good as we get, and I think the province will be satisfied that we will be complying with the intent.”

Curbside food waste collection by 2017 CURBSIDE from Front There’s a new organics page with more details and a link to the survey at www. chilliwack.com/organics or send an email to curbside@chilliwack. com. Several other Lower Mainland local governments are already diverting food and yard waste from their waste
stream, and Abbotsford has a waste separating facility. City hall regularly receives correspondence from residents on this topic, said Mayor Sharon Gaetz. “We get letters from those who really want this to happen,” she noted during the meeting. But in spite of that they are restricted by
the contractual limitations. Public outreach is starting this fall to get feedback on the changes, such as whether to use manual collection of the organics or automated. Landfill tipping rates and curbside waste collection user fees could go up significantly when organics are included, so the city’s
outreach efforts will gather customer input. They will be gauging support with the survey to see if people would like the city to supply at $10 container for organic waste collection or use their own, and if there is support for idea of reducing recyclables to biweekly collection. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

School zone reminder
The Chilliwack
Progress
R AESIDE
As this year’s seemingly endless summer begins to wind down, the first signs of autumn are sure to be just around the corner. The first of those signs will make an appearance Tuesday morning as thousands of youngsters across Chilliwack head off for the first day of a new school year. And with those youngsters caught up in the excitement of seeing classmates again comes a reminder for motorists. Drivers are asked to use extra caution when heading off to work Tuesday morning. But that caution should continue beyond Tuesday morning. The 30 kmh school zone speed limit will be back in effect from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. And the caution should extend beyond just school zones. Drivers are advised to leave a little extra time to reach their destination so they can slow down to keep an eye out for youngsters darting into the road. And if you see a vehicle stopped in front of you or the lane beside you, be prepared to stop as they may be yielding for a young pedestrian. Parents dropping off children in a school zone should always allow them to exit onto the sidewalk side of the vehicle and never allow a child to cross mid-block. Parents should also speak with younger children about the rules of the road. Children should cross at intersections that have a pedestrian crossing light or marked crosswalk wherever possible. It is safer to walk on the inside edge of the sidewalk, away from traffic, and to walk facing traffic if there is no sidewalk so drivers are better able to see you. Police in Chilliwack and across the province will again be out to enforce the school speed zones, with tickets ranging from $196 to $253, along with three penalty points. But a momentary lapse in judgment on the part of a driver can carry a far steeper cost, one that could haunt them for years to come. Said Chilliwack RCMP Cpl. Mike Rail: “Police want to ensure everyone has a safe start to the school year and again remind drivers to slow down and watch for children along the road.” ~ Black Press

An early taste of the winter storm season Last weekend’s wind storm was a wake-up call. And I don’t mean in a disasterizing way. Yes, it was inconvenient that the power went out, that BC Hydro couldn’t be reached, that their website crashed, that the intersection lights didn’t work, and no one knew the four-way stop rule. It was a major frustration for those who were still without power three or four days later, especially when food had to be thrown out. And there were many dangerous moments when trees fell on houses and cars. But it wasn’t a disaster. Winds peaked at 80 km/h and trees damaged transmission lines, power poles, vehicles and buildings. At the height of it all, some 533,000 homes were without power. But Hydro linesmen did a fantastic job getting
so many re-hooked up as fast as they did. It has been reported that this was the largest outage for BC Hydro in its history. But honestly, the wake-up call is this social mindset that if people can’t charge their cell phones, watch Netflix, or find out how fast they can get the Margaret power back on, EVANS they have a First World meltdown. Clearly we don’t adjust well to life unplugged. We’ve become so fixated on techie toys to pay attention to the realities of the world around us. We usually get the wake-up call when a major earthquake strikes somewhere in the world (Chile,
New Zealand, the Sumatra tsunami, Haiti, Japan) and we’re then reminded of the overdue Big One here. But natural disasters come in all shapes and sizes like the windstorm in 2006 and the mother of all blizzards in the last days of December 1996. Power was out. Transportation was paralyzed. Grocery stores ran out of supplies. Stores and banks were closed meaning no access to food or cash. And people were trapped in their homes for days in the middle of winter. There was the Montreal ice storm in 1998 and, more recently, eastern Canada has had some truly mega snowstorms that have paralyzed people for weeks. When hazards don’t happen often, it’s hard to take them seriously. Yes, people got taken by surprise this weekend. The

expectation was for heavy rain but it was the wind that knocked them sideways. And that brings up the need for some level of preparedness and taking some healthy personal responsibility. This windstorm happened in August. It was warm, making the inconvenience do-able. But winter’s coming. More storms are on the horizon. Assume that the power will go out. Set aside an emergency supply of non-perishable food and drinking water. Remember extra pet food and kids’ diapers. Keep cash on hand (ATMs may not work). Have a plan for communicating with family. Not everyone may be at home at the same time given work, school, or evening activities. Know what to do if trees are down, the road’s blocked, or a live hydro line is on the ground
preventing movement. Keep the gas tank topped up. Keep fuel for a camp stove handy so you can heat water, soups, liquid foods. Have fuel for the BBQ to cook food that’s thawing. Have a battery powered radio and a landline phone and have warm clothes handy. Consider investing in a generator. There’s sad irony in the fact that the windstorm blew in on the 10th anniversar y of Hurricane Katrina. It took years for New Orleans to struggle to its feet and some areas are still recovering. The yardstick is to be selfsufficient for 72 hours. More realistically, plan for a week or two. Or, anticipating that Big One, a month or more. That windstorm was a reality check. And, yes, life actually does go on without WiFi.

‘Protect and preserve’ Cultus fundamental responsibility is to protect the park. We acknowledge that people live in this park and businesses operate in this park. However, if history could be rewritten, we probably shouldn’t be here. The truth is that we residents haven’t made the natural setting any better and neither have the businesses that operate here. What we in fact do is stressful and quite antagonistic towards the natural setting we are in. Local government and volunteers groups are currently recognizing for example, the eutrophication challenge to the lake caused by our sewage treatment process (or lack thereof) as well as the effects of fertilizers and other chemicals draining into the lake from Columbia Valley. Some very good work is being done to recognize and mitigate the effects of human activity on the lake and its shores. Unfortunately, no one seems to be addressing the obvious fact that there is still no limit on how many power boats can be operating on this relatively small lake at any given time. There are currently over two hundred buoys set up along the Cultus shoreline for leaseholders to anchor their boats. This does not even begin to number the day use boats and
boats used by the residents of Lindell Beach. What we fail to see as helpful is any consideration by anyone to further reduce the natural state of Cultus Park by turning (destroying) parkland into other things: subdivisions, hotels, apartments, etc. Each tree cut down, each piece of forest turned into a subdivision or a parking lot is a “forever” move. Once out of the park, forever out of the park. There is a defined residential area in Cultus composed of new homes well as many cabins that could eventually be rebuilt. As this land has already been removed from its natural state, we do not oppose redevelopment in this case. There are enough of these homes to keep the local builders going for years. But that is where it needs to end. Developers should put their talents elsewhere other than in this park. Local authorities should fulfill their mandate to “protect and preserve” the park. There will always be ways to fund infrastructure projects without destroying parkland. Once it is gone, it is gone forever. Protect our park. Kevin and Judy Ault
Looking for an MP to champion salmon Re: Candidates Weigh in On Wild Salmon (The Progress, Sept. 2) www.theprogress.com/ news/323943571.html Fraser River salmon are on the ropes, in their fight to survive. To recap, river temperatures have been life-threateningly high for salmon this summer and the two recordhigh-temperature months are a harbinger of what’s to come. Not their only threat, but the most dire. Mark Strahl’s reference to record returns in the last five years is whistling past the graveyard, and the recent Conser vative party announcement of “new” funding is
just cynical - because it’s a drop in the bucket compared to the $1 billion stripped from Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) as Seonaigh MacPherson references. A far more effective measure would be to reverse the legislation passed by the Conser vatives that removed fish habitat protection, referenced by Thomas Cheney. The funding also purports to largely finance “projects” rather than provide that much more needed habitat support framework (the work of DFO). And of course, there’s that “timing” thing with the Conservatives yet
again... To say nothing of the Conservatives ignoring their own $26 million Cohen Commission on Fraser Sockeye Salmon, as Louis De Jaeger referenced. Everyone in Chilliwack-Hope should care deeply about those 75 recommendations, if they understand their implications for the valley. We need an MP to champion that, not neglect it. Mark Strahl had four years of opportunity to do so, and squandered them. On a related note : it’s impossible not to connect the three funding announcements made in July by Strahl, with the election campaign
we all knew was about to start. If the ethics of that do not concern you, then consider this: regardless of the outcome of the race here in Chilliwack-Hope it is extremely unlikely the Conservative party will return another majority government likely not form the official government at all. If the new government behaves the same way, this lastminute Conservative favouritism (some call it pork-barrel politics) could come back to haunt us. The knife is two-edged. Wayne Froese Chilliwack

An Open Letter Regarding the Current Proposals to Develop Cultus Lake Park: We live in Cultus Lake Park and we oppose changes which threaten this park. There are many definitions of park but the ones that were used when Cultus Lake Park was created were something like these: “An area of land, usually in a largely natural state, for the enjoyment of the public, having facilities for rest and recreation, often owned, set apart, and managed by a city....” (dictionary.reference.com/browse/park) or An area of land set aside for public use, as: a piece of land with few or no buildings within or adjoining a town, maintained for recreational and ornamental uses. (www.thefreedictionary. com/park) Cultus Lake has a park board which, according to its website, is “accountable for the protection and preservation of the 640 acres of park land surrounding a small stretch of beach on the eastern shore of the lake.” (http://www. cultuslake.bc.ca/governance/) The very definition of a park ensures an area set aside from normal development to allow people to recreate in and enjoy a natural setting.

storm, leafy deciduous trees acted like sails and became more susceptible to the surprise southerly winds, which came after stress from a prolonged summer drought. BC Hydro called in staff on vacation and brought in crews from Prince George, Smithers, Terrace, Vernon, Kamloops and Vancouver Island to work 16-hour shifts to deal with downed trees and restore power. “The damage was extensive and it was widespread from North Vancouver to Abbotsford – it wasn’t just contained to one area,” Heer said. “So extensive repairs were required all across the South Coast.” About 400 workers were in the field at any given time, she said, adding Hydro managers were “quite happy with the response.” Winds gusted at times to 80 to 90 km/h Saturday, and unpowered traffic lights caused traffic headaches as drivers used – or ignored – the required four-way stop procedure.

News Tens of thousands without power for three days some, and hospitalizing one woman in Surrey who tried to warn others of the risk. Falling trees also took down fences at the Greater Vancouver Zoo, but no animals escaped. Trolley bus wires in Vancouver were taken down in numerous areas and one falling tree cracked the window of a SkyTrain. The storm prompted reminders from authorities that residents should be prepared at all times to be selfsufficient without power or assistance for 72 hours in a disaster. Other regions of B.C. have at times lost power for several days after a storm.

number of customers on the circuits in question. Also down was BC Hydro’s website that provides details of each outage and estimates of when power is restored – an “unacceptable” failure Heer said would be investigated. Trees fell on cars, crushing

outages persisting into Monday were in Surrey and Langley. BC Hydro has a priority system for dispatching crews but it’s not one that favours any particular municipalities, Heer said. Top priority goes to safety calls where potentially live wires are down across roads and near homes, as well as restoring circuits to critical services like hospitals and pumping stations.

Set your compass to ‘Destination Imagination’ Teachers, children and parents in Chilliwack may already be familiar with the popular Destination Imagination B.C. pro-
gram, which helps students turn their imagination into innovation. Chilliwack students have done well in competitions in the past,
traveling far and wide to show off their skills. It’s just about time to start building teams for this school year, with a kick-off event at Science
World on Sept. 26 and 27. The public is invited to drop in and try out an Instant Challenge at the Vancouver Community Science Celebration.
With the Destination Imagination program, small teams of students choose from one of six challenges, brainstorm ideas, create a solution
and develop a short presentation to explain and demonstrate their solution. Teachers and parents serve as team managers who help

World Suicide Prevention Day on September 10 brings people together to honour those who’ve been lost to suicide and to support suicide prevention through activities that promote mental health. SUBMITTED PHOTO
Reach out for mental health this Thursday Sam Bates The Progress Thursday, September 10 is World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD). On this day, people gather all over the world to support suicide prevention, remember the lives lost to suicide, and to comfort and strengthen our connection with one another. Annually hosted by the International Association of Suicide Prevention (IASP), this year’s theme is ‘Reaching Out and Saving Lives,’ which has multiple meanings for this important initiative. The event is open to everyone, especially “those who have been touched by suicide or mental health struggles,” says Sabine Mendez, coordinator with Chilliwack Healthier Community. “We should all have mental wellness as a priority in our lives,” Mendez continues. Everyone faces challenges, and World Suicide Prevention Day promotes healthy, positive ways to manage them.
Every year, more than 800,000 people die from suicide worldwide. Chilliwack is not immune to suicide’s consequential reach. Though B.C. Coroners Reports conclude that Fraser has the lowest regional rate of suicides in the province, there are an average of 500 suicides in B.C. each year. Many social, economic, cultural and psychiatric risk factors are involved with suicide. Mental health disorders (particularly depression), as well as experiencing conflict, disaster, violence and isolation are strongly associated with suicidal thoughts and behaviours. Addressing the issue of isolation is paramount to this year’s WSPD theme. “Feeling disconnected is one of the biggest problems in our culture,” Mendez explains. “There’s a mentality that prioritizes independence and ‘I don’t need anyone’ attitudes. But it’s not healthy to be alone.” A sense of belonging, through family, clubs, faith, work or otherwise, is essen-

tial. Having someone to talk to and can be life-saving. The Reaching Out theme encourages us to reach out to organizations when we need help, and to connect with each other. “A lot of us may know people who we suspect may be struggling, but we’re uncomfortable asking how they’re feeling” in a genuine, intentional manner. This event, and all that value mental health, provide avenues to eradicate the stigma that surrounds mental health. “We want to make it as acceptable to talk about mental health as it is to bring up the pain in your hip” Mendez explains. “I like to think that grief and sadness can be offset even a little by the sharing of annual gatherings such as this one,” says Jenz Malloway, Aboriginal Support and Crisis Intervention Coordinator at Sto:lo Nation Health. Thursday’s event will include a variety of free activities for the public, including expressive arts like rock painting

and weaving cedar roses. There will also be smudging rituals, therapeutic touch and Reiki treatments, and various workshops that address sacred traditions, communication skills and mental health. One of the most visually impactful elements of the event will be the Clootie tree. A Celtic tradition, community members tie a piece of cloth to the Clootie tree as a symbol of remembrance to someone that they’ve lost. The event takes place September 10 from 1:30 to 6 p.m. at Sto:lo Nation grounds (7201 Vedder Road), beginning in the Long House. Attendees will receive a map and schedule to guide their afternoon. At the end of the day, there will be a free dinner as well as draws for prizes and passes to the 7 p.m. showing of The Perks of Being a Wallflower at Cottonwood Cinema. The film will be followed by a question and answer period to provide direction and support to those who seek it.

Like ‘Wave’ petunias, they spread, forming a carpet, and provide more interest with their prostrate habit than any other pansy. They are a must try.

late spring. And don’t forget the many new ‘bud bloomer’ heathers that have flower buds that never open but look as though they have for months on end. They are quite remarkable. Into this mix, we need to inject some fall pansies to provide instant colour now and right on to the first hard frost. Then they pick up blooming again in February and continue into late spring and early summer. I like the ‘Matrix’ series best because of

Ilex ‘Sky Pencil’, and euonymus ‘Green Spire’ have a unique look and make fabulous focal points. As for ‘fillers’ that have impact, the winter-hardy evergreen carex grasses, like the always reliable variegated varieties C. ‘Evergold’, ‘Everest’ and ‘Everlime’ are amazing. My new favourite though is C. ‘Evervillo’ with its hot lime colour that’s truly ‘sunshine in winter’. If you’re feeling for a
little touch of blue, then the bluest of the blues is the new fescue, ‘Beyond Blue’ ‌ it truly lives up to its name. Although these days, silvery dusty millers, both ‘Cirrus’ and ‘Silverdust’, are not being used as often in our gardens, their colouring in fall and winter creates a nice ‘pop’. I also love using heathers in autumn plantings, not only because of their many new foliage colours, but also for their winter flowers that last until

Offensive line has provincial championship dreams
Eric J. Welsh, The Progress
Coached by a man GWG head coach Laurie Smith calls the best offensive line coach in the province, Luke Acheson, the big boys on the offensive line plan on paving the way to a provincial title. In this photo, taken Thursday afternoon during a training camp session, Michael Lengert drives into Jaimie Bessette during a pass-blocking drill. ERIC WELSH/ PROGRESS
Laurie Smith has said many times this offseason that this is the team he’s been waiting for. His GW Graham varsity football team heads into the 2015 high school football season as the one of the favourites for a provincial title. Either them or the Chase Claypool led Abbotsford Panthers sit at the top of the heap, depending on who you ask. For those who favour the Grizzlies, the main reason is their offensive line. Michael and Jaren Lengert, Jake Troyan, Liam McCormick and Devan Voss — the core of this group has been together since peewee, growing together in size, ability and cohesion. “We’ve formed a strong bond and powered through everything we’ve faced, really,” says Michael Lengert. “Togetherness is so important for an offensive line. If you try to be an all-star or oneman show, it’s not going to work out well. We have to work as a unit, otherwise nothing will happen.”
Working as a unit has led to three provincial appearances and two championships for this group, starting in Grade 8. The first year of the GWG program was Lengert’s first year at the school, and he was part of the Grade 8 team that went to BC Place and lost a heartbreaker to the Notre Dame Jugglers. The group’s been bolstered over time by the additions of Brayden Winger, Elijah Schellenberg, Jaimie Bessette and Dakota Mathers. The last two years, they paved the way to AA junior varsity titles. “Stupendous,” Lengert says when asked to come up with one word to describe his crew. “Annoying,” he says when asked what word an opponent might use. Annoying? A word usually reserved for small and scrappy pests, not sixfoot-two hard-charging behemoths. “We do the small stuff and that’s what matters really,” he explains. “We work on our form for a good two hours a day and opponents find that annoying. We beat them every time.” For that reason, Lengert feels the offensive line is what GWG’s foes should be most concerned with. Not the running of Tristan Davis, the big arm of quarterback Gabe Olivares or the quick and tenacious D. “If I’m a D coordinator, I’d fear us most because we’re so hard to get past,” he says
with a grin. “We’ve got this little saying where he (Gabe) will be sitting there dunking donuts and having a good time while we sit there blocking and he has all day to throw.” “When we do our job he literally can’t be touched.” They are confident, which can be good and bad. There are expectations to be managed this season and the Grizzlies must be careful to not get ahead of themselves. Every opponent will be gunning for them. Even the slightest stumble will jeopardize their championship chase. “We strive for greatness and the coaches have said it’s the title this year or nothing,” Lengert says. “There’s pressure, but I play my game, every one else plays their game and usually we win.” “Sometimes we lose. We learn to not be so arrogant and then we kick butt the next game.” ● The Grizzlies kick off preseason action Sept. 11 with a trip to Delta and a match with the Seaquam Seahawks. They’re home for a measuring stick game against Nanaimo’s John Barsby Bulldogs Sept. 18, with a 2 p.m. kickoff. They conclude the exhibition slate with another measuring stick matchup against the New Westminster Hyacks. The regular season starts Oct. 9 and more info will be available online at bchighschoolfootball.com

Chilliwack’s Brad Clapp was recognized as Canadian Player of the Week by Freedom 55 Financial, as the Mackenzie Tour’s The Great Waterway Classic wound down near here at Loyalist Golf and Country Club on Sunday. Clapp finished first overall with a final score of 23-under par. “As a Canadian organization that focuses on supporting individuals in achieving their goals and dreams, it’s a privilege for us to help up-andcoming Canadian golfers pursue their own aspirations,” said Freedom 55 Financial Eastern Ontario Regional Operations Manager Shelly Reed. Freedom 55 Financial established the Canadian Player of the Week award to recognize top Canadian players on the Mackenzie Tour. At each Mackenzie Tour tournament this summer, Freedom 55 Financial will present this award to the Canadian player with the lowest total score. The recipient of the award will also receive $2,500 to use toward attaining future goals. At the end of the season, the Freedom 55 Financial Canadian Player of the Year award will be presented to the top Canadian player on the Mackenzie Tour Order of Merit, along with a $25,000 cash prize. Freedom 55 Financial is title sponsor of the Freedom 55 Financial Championship, the Mackenzie Tour’s flagship event conducted by Golf Canada. The tournament will see the culmination of the race for Web.com Tour status, to be earned by the top five players on the Order of Merit, taking place September 14 to 20 at Highland Country Club in London, Ont.

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our father, husband and grandpa. Russ was born October 1, 1932 in Lucky Lake, SK and passed away peacefully at Abbotsford General Hospital on Thursday, August 20, 2015. Russ was predeceased by his sisters Mildred and Lillian. He leaves to mourn his loving wife of 60 years, Olga (Ollie) as well as his two sons Doug (Cora) and Calvin (Shannon). He will also be greatly missed by his grandchildren Laura and Alexander and Cora’s daughter, Maegan. During a successful career with the B.C. Forest Service spanning 35 years, Russ and Ollie met many life-long friends when they lived in various places in B.C. Russ and Ollie enjoyed a wonderful long retirement traveling in their R.V. to Alaska, Mexico as well as across Canada and the U.S. They later chose to spend their winters as Snowbirds in Yuma, Arizona often traveling with friends from the Forest Service. A service for Russ will be held at Woodlawn Mt. Cheam Funeral Home, 45865 Hocking Ave., Chilliwack on Friday, September 11, 2015 at 1:00 pm.

Lily Cromarty passed away on August 23, 2015 at the Chilliwack General Hospital at the age of 91 years. She was born April 1, 1924 in Glasgow, Scotland. Lily is lovingly remembered by her children Roy (Wendy), Greg (Pat) and Wayne (Gail), by her seven grandchildren Candy, Kelly, Greg, Brent, Colin, Jordon and Carly, her eight great grandchildren Brooke, Haylee, Tyson, Alyssa, Zayne, Sydney, Braydon, Blayze and her one great, great grandson Logan. She was predeceased by her husband S.R. “Roy� Cromarty of 56 years and her parents and three brothers in Scotland. As a war bride, Lily left her family and homeland to start a new life in Canada. Mom shared a lot of her life stories; one being about her first home that was on an Island in the middle of the Fraser River and another one of why she had no middle name, which was because her family was so poor they couldn’t afford one. Lily was a warm and caring person who will be missed and lovingly remembered by her family and friends, Family internment at a later date.
