Rogers Foods officials, Hiroyuki Miyashita (manager of engineering), Vic Bell (president) and Kelly O’Brien (operations manager) discuss plans for a new mill in Chilliwack.
Rogers Foods launches major expansion Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The local food processing industry just got a major shot in the arm. A new flour mill is set to be built by Rogers Foods in Chilliwack that will boost its capacity by a whopping 80 per cent. “The decision to expand was made because sales have overfilled capacity of the plant,” said Vic Bell, president of Rogers Foods Ltd., a subsidiary of Nisshin Flour Milling Inc. Once the new mill is built on Simpson Road, the total combined capacity, including the Armstrong plant, will see 770 metric tonnes per day of wheat milled — an

increase of about 50 per cent. The Chilliwack mill underwent an expansion of 22 per cent in 2010, but strong sales prompted the decision for second milling unit. Bell points to factors like population growth in the Pacific Northwest region of about one per cent, coupled with a resurgence in the market for grain-based products. With a solid population base, a taste for Japanese food culture, and a trending market toward specialty flours, the West Coast positioning is ideal. “We have been able to meet that demand with our growing line of specialty flours and mixes,” Bell said. “That gives us very strong

confidence that we are dealing with a very stable product, commonly consumed in North America in bread and bread products.” Construction completion is slated for Fall 2017. With a current staff of 38 employed by Rogers Foods, the company will see nine new jobs created when the expansion is complete. “We would like to break ground by October 2015,” said Bell. “We are hopeful we can beat the official construction schedule, and to have operations started by the spring of 2017.” Bell had high praise for the support that continues to be demonstrated for Rogers Foods by the community, City of Chilliwack and CEPCO.
“Chilliwack has been very special to us, and have been tremendous partners,” he added. A project team is place, including two Nisshin colleagues from Japan, to bring the Rogers milling expansion to fruition. The new unit will be a little over 25 metres in height or about five storeys high, and will be able to process about 550 metric tonnes of wheat per day. The new facility for Chilliwack is part of a management plan announced by Nisshin Seifun Group, to target “self-sustained growth” and the project will also include silo room for wheat storage and bulk flour storage. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

A powerful windstorm brought down a large tree and some power lines near Cultus Lake on Saturday afternoon. The fallen tree cut off traffic on Columbia Valley Highway — the main access road in and out of the Cultus Lake community. That led to hundreds of motorists trying to take the private road through the Soowahlie reserve. Some Soowahlie members responded by locking the gate for safety reasons, Soowahlie chief Brenda Wallace told The Progress. It’s not the first time the Soowahlie road has been blocked to public access. A gate was installed last summer after an ongoing speeding situation raised safety concerns along the road that has a 30 km/hr speed limit. On Saturday a toll was erected at the gate for a couple of hours, where drivers were being asked to pay a $20 charge, which infuriated some of them. “Things escalated quickly,” Wallace said. “Everyone was quite upset about the tolls.” The ensuing lineup of cars, and growing number of frustrated drivers, made the situation chaotic. Wallace got a call around 2:30 p.m. by a band council member and was told the situation was getting “out of control.” More traffic was backing up and tempers were flaring. “People were in panic mode and we had absolutely nothing in place to deal with that amount of traffic,” she said. The Soowahlie leader was out of town when the storm hit on Saturday, but has been dealing with the situation ever since returning home.

ICBC may hike basic insurance rate by 6.7 per cent Soaring injury costs to drive up basic premiums Jeff Nagel Black Press The Insurance Corp. of B.C. is warning motorists they’ll soon pay more for basic auto insurance. Because of a rate smoothing policy introduced by the province in 2013, this year’s rate hike must be between 3.7 and 6.7 per cent – within 1.5 per cent of last year’s 5.2 per cent increase on basic rates. ICBC president and CEO Mark Blucher said the initial calculations
suggest the maximum 6.7 per cent basic rate hike is required, but pledged to work with the government to find ways to reduce that number by Oct. 30, when the formal rate application is to be filed with the B.C. Utilities Commission. He said ICBC is grappling with “an unexpected and rapid escalation in the number of injury claims being reported to us in recent months.” ICBC’s bodily injury claim costs, which cover pain and suffering, future care and loss of wages, are forecast to hit $2.3 billion this year, up 64 per cent since 2008. Higher legal and medical costs, more represented claims and more complex, catastrophic claims
leading to bigger settlements are among the factors blamed for the jump. Injury claims are up 10 per cent from a year ago even though the number of crashes is unchanged. ICBC says more fraud is one potential explanation, as well as more minor soft tissue injury claims. If regulators approve the request, this will be the fourth straight year of basic insurance premium increases following hikes of 11.2 per cent in 2012 and 5.2 per cent in each of 2013 and 2014. ICBC has simultaneously reduced its optional insurance rates – on which it competes against private insurers – in five of the last seven years.
ICBC spokesman Adam Grossman said the net effect is the average customer has seen their overall auto insurance costs rise by less than 10 per cent since 2008. Grossman said this year’s required increase would actually be “on the order of 12 per cent” were it not for the constraint of the rate smoothing policy. Transportation Minister Todd Stone said even the maximum 6.7 per cent this year is too much. “We believe that’s not acceptable and the rate can and should be lower than that,” he said Monday. Stone appointed ferries commissioner and former deputy minister Gord Macatee to help ICBC pare the hike.
Asked if the province might reduce the annual $160-million annual dividend it extracts from ICBC each year, Stone said those transfers are from ICBC’s excess capital on its optional insurance business and do not affect basic rates. He acknowledged an optional rate cut would help ease the pain for the majority of motorists who also buy their optional coverage from ICBC, but made no commitment to enable that. The Bank of Canada’s recent interest rate cut has significantly reduced the projected returns of ICBC’s investment portfolio, Stone added.
Candidate Q&A Question No. 1 looks the closure of the Fraser River to sockeye fishing Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The Progress kicks off a 2015 Federal Election editorial series today, centred on questions that zero in on what matters to people in Chilliwack-Hope. The first question was sent last week to all candidates: “The mighty Fraser River is closed now to sockeye fishing of all kinds in part because of high in-river temperatures and conservation concerns. Describe the impact this is currently having on Chilliwack-Hope. What do you envision doing, if elected, to ensure the federal government is taking adequate measures to preserve and protect iconic salmon runs of the Fraser River for all British Columbians?” Here is a summary of the answers we received, with the full transcript of their answers found online at www. theprogress.com. Liberal candidate Louis De Jaeger said that wild salmon is definitely a resource “worth championing.” He was thrilled when implementing the Cohen Commission recommendations became a plank of the Liberal election platform earlier this summer. When he was in Ottawa last year for candidate training, De Jaeger stressed during a Liberal caucus meeting that Fraser River salmon have always been a “source of food, wealth and trade” in this region. Salmon are inextricably linked to the “continued existence of Indigenous peoples,” he said. The federal government struck the Cohen Commission inquiry in 2009 to explain crashing Sockeye stocks in the Fraser River, but failed to implement more than one of the 75 recommendations. It’s unacceptable that the results of the inquiry continue to be ignored, “particularly in light of its enormous cost to taxpayers, at $26 million,” De Jaeger said. “I am proud to say that a Liberal government will implement the recommendations of

the Cohen Commission, and I will continue to champion this cause,” he said. NDP candidate Seonaigh MacPherson noted salmon are “integral” to the economy locally as a tourist draw, and a major food source for First Nations, and both are threatened now. If elected she plans to advocate for salmon by taking action on climate change, scientificenvironmental enforcement and local consultation. “We mark our year by the life of salmon: the appearance of spring salmon; later, First Nations’ fishing camps; late summer fly fishers; and spawning salmon in fall,” she said. She’s critical of the Tories’ record. After trimming more than $1 billion from DFO since 2006, in August, MP Mark Strahl doled out $313,000 and Harper bequeathed $15 million for B.C. salmon in “shameless attempts to win votes,” MacPherson noted. Conservative candidate Mark Strahl pointed out that “any time the Fraser is closed to fishing, there is a significant impact on the local sports fishing industry as well as on area First Nations who rely on salmon for FSC purposes.” He said “significant local investments” were made by his party in habitat restoration and protection on the Vedder River, Cheam Lake and Browne Creek wetlands. “We also recently announced major infrastructure upgrades for the Cultus Lake DFO Laboratory.” When Strahl was chair of the BC/Yukon
Conservative Caucus, he helped spearhead the effort to provide 100 per cent of the revenues collected through the Salmon Conservation Stamp to the Pacific Salmon Foundation (PSF), so that they could expand on the great work that they do in preserving and enhancing salmon habitat. Prime Minister Harper has recently announced a re-elected Conservative government will provide an additional $15 million to the PSF to restore and preserve salmon habitat across the province of B.C.
“These investments and initiatives will help ensure that our precious B.C. salmon resource is protected and preserved for future generations.” Thomas Cheney makes it clear the “loss of salmon” affects tourism and food security for residents, particularly First Nations. “The management of salmon is by no means a simple task, but climate change, habitat loss and poor fisheries management, such as bottom trawling, is making an already Continued: ELECTION/ p5
Dismal year for sockeye returns on the Fraser Jennifer Feinberg The Progress When in-season Fraser River sockeye numbers don’t match expectations forecast by Fisheries and Oceans Canada, there are always implications. There are no fishery openings on the Fraser for sockeye salmon right now, said Jennifer Nener, Lower Fraser area director for DFO. “The numbers are low,” she said. There have been recent openings for chinook, also known as spring salmon, for food, social and ceremonial purposes by First Nations, as well as recreational fishing opportunities for chinook. But sockeye — not so much.
“We don’t have the abundance we were expecting,” Nener noted. The current estimate of in season run size for Fraser sockeye is sitting at about 2.4 million, compared to the healthier preseason forecast of 6.8 million sockeye. The forecast is a range, she cautioned, meaning there is always “considerable uncertainty” along the way. “What we plan around is the median,” Nener said. Why were sockeye numbers so low? There always discussion and debate about the possible reasons, but the role of unusually warm ocean conditions cannot be ignored. “That has an impact on the whole food Continued: SALMON/ p5

An enraged caller left a racist message at her home, and there was a fur y of racist comments posted on social media overnight, before the threads were taken down. A community meeting was called the next day at the Soowahlie band office to address the toll situation, and how to handle the road access question, said Chief Wallace. A solution is needed for when a similar situation arise in the foreseeable future. “We decided we will keep the gate locked on weekends,� she said. “In the event of an emergency in future, the traffic will be directed through Sleepy Hollow Road.� It turns out there are more than two ways to exit the Cultus area. But not many people are aware of this fact. “When it comes right down to it, there are three entrances to Soowahlie and only one was locked,� said Chief Wallace. One of the ways is by Sleepy Hollow Road, and other is the road near the Vedder Bridge. It was also decided at the meeting that no other “tolls� will be erected, and the $2,000 collected at the gate over the weekend will be used for Soowahlie elders and children’s programs. Plans are in the works for new signs, and flaggers to direct motorists to the Sleepy Hollow Road route in the case of an emergency, she added. Discussions between Soowahlie, Fraser Valley Regional District and Cultus Lake Park Board officials around emergency response planning have begun, and will continue to find a permanent solution and to prevent a similar situation from ever happening again. “The emergency plans, to direct people through Sleepy Hollow Road, weren’t in place at the time, but they are now,� Chief

When an unauthorized toll was set up on Soowahlie territory after the main road from Cultus Lake was blocked, the online discussion quickly devolved into an angry exchange over aboriginal rights. But while those kinds of comments show the lingering need for an educated conversation regarding how B.C. deals with the consequences of colonization, and the unfinished business of aboriginal rights and title, the Cultus Lake incident needn’t be that complicated. The issue here is about private property rights versus being a good neighbour. Soowahlie Road runs through the heart of the residential portion of the Soowahlie reserve. The gate, which was erected last year, was in reaction to the yahoos who raced through the property, thinking they had found a backroad shortcut around the traditional summertime congestion. Families who didn’t want their neighbourhood to become a thoroughfare decided to limit access. They erected a gate, which they are entitled to do, leaving open another

road as an alternative. On Saturday, when the windstorm took down a tree and closed the main road out of Cultus Lake, some enterprising individuals decided they would open the gate – for a price. It was an unfortunate decision. Tolls on roads and bridges are not a new concept. But this was a crass attempt to profit off the misfortune of others. There should be no question that the Soowahlie are within their rights to control access to their territory – similar (although not the same) to how a strata can limit access to its gated community. But just because someone has the right to close the road and charge access, that does not make it right. In times of adversity, we become stronger when we work together as a community. When it rains, we offer an umbrella; when a cupboard is empty, we help fill it. This tradition runs strong in the aboriginal and non-aboriginal community alike. It would be a shame to allow the actions of a few – and the reactions of others – cloud that shared commitment. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

Alaska sits in judgment of British Columbia VICTORIA – Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett spent much of last week in Alaska, trying to assure local fishermen and environmentalists that B.C.’s mine approval process is “basically the same” as Alaska’s. Bennett visited an abandoned mine in northwest B.C. that continues to leak acid and metal pollution into the Taku River, vowing to supervise cleanup by a new operator. He noted that one of B.C.’s proposed new mines includes a 23-km pipe system to move ore out of the shared watershed for processing. This is typical of the discourse between B.C. and our American cousins. Only our industry is questioned. Meanwhile in Colorado, the latest mine spill disaster was blamed on a mistake by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. And in Alaska as in the rest of the
U.S., new metal mines such as the giant Pebble project depend on the same engineering and testing as ours. Here in Victoria, the Fantasy Island dialogue about oil continued, with Green Party leader Elizabeth May calling a news conference to announce she is (brace yourTom self) opposed to FLETCHER pipelines and tankers on the B.C. coast. She stood at Clover Point, where daily Alaska crude tankers sail past, many on their way to vast refinery complexes just out of sight at Anacortes and Cherry Point in Washington. A good portion of B.C.’s gasoline comes from there. Without a drunk-captain incident since 1989, these tankers
load up at the terminus of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System. Let’s take a closer look. For 47 years, the pipeline has pumped huge volumes of oil across Alaska from the charming northern outpost of Deadhorse to Valdez in the south, just east of Anchorage where cruise ships dock. In his new book, Rust: The Longest War, science writer Jonathan Waldman calls it “the biggest, baddest oil pipeline in the world. “From Prudhoe Bay to Prince William Sound, the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System stretches 800 miles, which leaves engineer Bhaskar Neogi accountable for one of the heaviest metal things in the Western Hemisphere, through which the vast majority of Alaska’s economy flows,” Waldman writes. “Daily, the fourfoot steel tube spits out $50 mil-

lion of oil.” It was once the largest private infrastructure in the U.S. Today it’s the most regulated pipeline in the world, with planes flying infrared sensors to detect leaks of warm oil and “line walkers” looking for soft spots in the permafrost. And this isn’t low-fat, shadegrown oil for Seattle fuel-sippers. It struggles to flow, with a black asphalt bottom and thick wax that has to be scraped out of the pipeline by the ton with giant “pigs” that clean and monitor walls for corrosion. The five Prudhoe Bay oilfields have been declining in production for 20 years, to the point where the Trans-Alaska pipeline now carries about a quarter of its design capacity. It’s expected to run out around 2040, but for now Valdez still loads more than a tanker a day.
Waldman writes that when North America’s largest oilfield was discovered in 1968, companies first considered extending the Alaska Railroad up to Deadhorse. But they would have needed 63 trains a day of 100 cars each. Trucks, cargo planes and even nuclear-powered submarines running under the Arctic ice were briefly considered. Since we had a bit of handwringing last week about a small earthquake near Fort Nelson that may or may not have been triggered by hydraulic fracturing, it’s worth noting that Trans-Alaska oil also causes noticeable tremors as it rushes down the Chugach Mountains to a sudden stop at Valdez. But those are American earthquakes, so no story there. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter: @tomfletcherbc Email: tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Locked gate causes concern It was quite the storm at Cultus Lake (Saturday). One big tree fell across Columbia Valley Highway near the Sunnyside entrance that was cleared off fairly quickly, but another one near Lakeshore Drive took a power line with it and shut the main road down for hours. I was very disappointed to hear that a few of the locals on the Soowhalie Reserve had blocked the alternate route and were charging $20 to $30 to get past the gate. For many years I have bragged how well we all got along in the Cultus Lake area, and how it
would be a good model for the rest of the country. The groups from Main Beach, Soowhalie, Sleepy Hollow, Lindell Beach and Columbia Valley all went to school together, played together, stayed over at each others houses and lived as a big happy group, all from different backgrounds. It is a shame that a few greedy people are being allowed to do damage to a relationship that has worked so well for so long. I hope that my First Nations friends can forgive me for what I am about to say, but just to give an example of how this is being received, per-
haps the ones doing this could contemplate how they would feel if two new gates were set up just outside theirs, and they were charged $20 to use the road that we paid taxes to build. It really is not beneficial to anyone when a confrontational “them and us” scenario is allowed to get started by a few people who are just not getting it. I hope that the Chief and Council can appeal to the ones responsible for this, so we can get back to a good life of mutual respect and friendliness that our area is famous for. Tom Moul, Cultus Lake
Time to phase out fossil fuels While I suppor t Seonaigh MacPherson’s (The Progress, Aug. 28) call for more rigorous environmental regulation related to pipelines, her letter made no mention of the elephant in the room, climate change. To stop catastrophic
climate change, 85% of the oil sands can’t be extracted. There is no environmentally responsible way to get these resources to market. The oil sands must be phased out, not expanded. Trudeau and Mulcair are looking for the Philosopher’s Stone of
climate policy. We need to have the difficult but necessary national conversation about a future after oil. Although jobs will be lost in the oil sector, many more jobs will be created in the clean energy economy. In fact, more Canadians currently work in
cleantech than in the oil sands. The Green Party of Canada is ready to protect our climate by phasing out fossil fuels. As a young person I sure hope the other parties are. Thomas Cheney Green Party Chilliwack-Hope

Pulling the plug The illegal use of communicating devises and roadway carnage keeps growing and nobody seems to know how to stop it or at least bring it under some kind of control. The problem I believe is quite simply solved but the lobbying against it by the lucrative industries involved would likely be massive. However given that a precedent of sorts has proved successful i.e. car disablers for intoxicated
Make smokers pay
drivers, a variation of that technology would disable a vehicles engine if and when a electronic communication devise is switched on. Or alternatively if the vehicle is in motion a electronic communication devise will not operate. The technology and the industry to provide this rather inexpensive innovation is here and now All that is required is the will to do the right thing.
Re: Helen Yeomans “Government at its worst” (Chilliwack Progress, Aug. 26) “Banning smoking is an abuse of power.” I disagree and it is a healthy move. Perhaps Helen Yeomans should check out how many millions of our dollars are spent in hospital care, surgeries and aftercare as directly and indirectly related to smoking. Maybe smokers should not be covered by public healthcare funding but rather they pay their own smoking related medical costs. Then we will see how many smokers remain. Courtney Saunders

Kids can create, dance and learn at the Children’s Arts Festival Sam Bates The Progress An old favourite for the little ones, The Children’s Arts Festival returns this year. On Sept. 19, the grounds of G.W. Graham School will be transformed into an artistic child’s dreamland. Kids of all ages are invited to enjoy “imagination stations” to fuel their creativity. Kids will create all sorts of refrigerator arts and crafts using paints, chalk, coloured papers and other mediums. In addition to the make-andtakes, guests can leave their mark in collaborative arts projects, including a clay installation
piece and a chalk mandala, says Stephanie Brubaker, coordinator at the Chilliwack Arts Council. For those who want to express art to a beat, kids can enjoy a variety of dance workshops throughout the day (including jazz, hip-hop and more), hosted by Evolutionz Dance Studio. The big event of the festival is the 11 a.m. live acrobatics stage show by CircusWest, a wellknown Vancouver circus training and performing arts society. The Purple Pirate will also be performing his highly-interactive, comedic show “Treasures of the Sea.” Kids will learn the value of being kind and sharing the hidden treasures they find. “We’re going to laugh, dance
and do magic together,” says the Purple Pirate himself. “Our staff and volunteers are busy getting prepared to present live professional performances and numerous art activities that will delight all family members on this one day event,” says Patti Lawn, executive director at the Chilliwack Arts Council. As they travel between art stations and performances, guests can interact and take pictures with the roving characters, Ever After Princesses, and the towering stilt-walkers. Without giving away all of the surprises, Brubaker notes that “face-painting, balloons, live music, henna and more” will be available for everyone to enjoy.
Hunger won’t slow you down at this festival - stop by the various food trucks, including Dougie Dogs, Stolovaya, and The Tin Cow ice cream for a delicious bite to eat. The rain-or-shine event takes places Saturday, Sept. 19 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at G.W. Graham School (45955 Thomas Road). Tickets are $8 each (or $28 for four) and can be purchased online at ChilliwackArtsCouncil. com or at 20-5725 Vedder Road. The CircusWest show has an additional $5 admission fee. The event is presented by The Chilliwack Community Arts Council and their partners. Volunteers are still being accepted for this event.
This Labour Day weekend the Harrison Festival Society presents Harrison Country Craft, taking place Sept. 5 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sept. 6 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in and around the historic Harrison Memorial Hall. The market, previously called Harrison Craft Market, assumes a new name this year, while it maintains its character as a cozy, indoor market that has been an annual event for almost as long as the festival itself has been in existence. “As with our waterfront festival Art Market, which takes place in July, Harrison Country Craft features handmade artisanal products,” says Andy Hillhouse, the festival society’s Artistic Director. “The ‘country’ in the new name partly reflects the rural, village setting of Harrison. It also happens to work nicely with the fact our market takes place just across the road from the annual country music event Bands on the Beach.” The event of which Hillhouse speaks, the highly successful Bands on the Beach, is presented by Tourism Harrison. With the breathtaking scenery of Harrison Lake as its backdrop, this increasingly popular two day concert series showcases some of the Fraser Valley’s best country music talent including Harrison’s own Todd Richard, the Greg Drummond Band, Jackson Hollow, Rocket Science, and more. The more than 30 plus vendors that make up Harrison Country Craft offer the highest quality of a wide selection of home decor, body care, food, fashion and artful creations amidst the small town atmosphere and hospitality of Harrison Hot Springs. An annual community event for more than 20 years, this market is one of the main fundraising activities for the Harrison Festival Society with 10% commission collected on all vendor sales to help support the Societies’ year round events. Admission to the Harrison Craft Market and Bands on the Beach is free. For more info visit www.harrisonfestival.com, call 604.796.3664 or email info@ harrisonfestival.com.

New York-based artist Marie Lorenz passes by Chilliwack on Sept. 2 during a multi-day boat journey. The ambitious artistic voyage, Tidal Dérive, will take the internationally-acclaimed artist all the way from Hope to the Southern Gulf Islands from Sept. 1-7. Lorenz will use the tides, currents and historic canoe routes to direct her journey. According to Lorenz, “my boat projects are an attempt to unknow the metropolis by continually exploring it.” The handmade boat, ‘Driftboat’ was created by Lorenz in 2014 from salvaged wood found locally around Vancouver and the Lower Mainland coast. As part of her voyage, Lorenz will camp at Kirby Historic Site in Agassiz on Sept. 1. After departing there at 7 a.m., look out for Lorenz drifting by Chilliwack along the Fraser River early and midmorning on Sept. 2, on her way to the Langley stop. Tidal Dérive correlates with Lorenz’s ongoing ten-year project ‘Tide and Current Taxi,’ where diverse passengers join Lorenz in boats that she’s built to explore New York waterways. Each trip is documented with pictures and stories. The B.C. journey will be live-streamed via an inboat video camera on contemporaryartgallery.ca. Visit marielorenz.com to learn more.

In these last days of summer, parents are readying their children for school. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a busy time full of shopping for new clothes, books, backpacks and school supplies. But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget the mental health preparation for school. School can be an exciting time, but it can also cause anxiety for kids. I asked some of my mental-health colleagues what they think parents can do to help prepare their kids to return to the classroom, and hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what they had to say: 1. Have the â&#x20AC;&#x153;tech
talk.â&#x20AC;? Discuss your expectations about screen time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that is how much time during the day your child spends texting, on the Rob phone, LEES playing video games or online. Have an idea in advance as to what you feel is reasonable, what can actually be enforced and what consequences are

ian Frances Thomson explains, ”Children’s librarians and teachers know how important it is to read to kids from a very young age. It can have a huge impact on their future success at school. Once they reach kindergar ten, these kids will have
bigger vocabularies, longer attention spans and a greater awareness of the world around them.” While the idea of reading 1,000 stories may seem daunting at first, the program makes reading fun and easy for parents and

The Rotary Foundation Offers Masters and PhD Degrees Scholarships The Rotary Foundation offers scholarships funding through the Rotary Foundation Global Grant Scholarships, that fund graduate-level coursework or research for one to four academic years, at any approved University located in a qualifying country outside of the applicant’s home country. These Grants fund scholarships in one of Rotary’s six areas of focus: Peace and conflict prevention/resolution, Disease prevention and treatment, Water and sanitation, Maternal and child health, Basic education and literacy, and Economic and community development.
Target group:
Non-Rotarians sponsored by qualified Rotary Clubs. The minimum budget for a global grant scholarship is $30,000 to fund the following: Passport/visa, Inoculations, travel expenses (as specified in the grant terms and conditions), School supplies, Tuition, Room and board and Household supplies.
Applicants may NOT be (1) a Rotarian; (2) an employee of a club, district, or any other Rotary entity, or of Rotary International; (3) the spouse, a lineal descendant, or an ancestor (parent or grandparent by blood) of any person in the forgoing two categories.
& PENCIL CASE
Applicants must study outside of their home country and must provide proof of university admission to a graduate-level program or letter of invitation to conduct postgraduate-level research when applying for the grant. An applicant’s previous work or volunteer experience, academic program, and career plans should be strongly aligned with one of the six areas of focus.

Back to school starts with a conversation with your kids SCHOOL from page 14 has shown that giving to others provides rewards for the giver. Encourage your children to think about what they can do as good citizens of their school community. Contributing isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about being the best, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about doing your best. 6. Talk about sex, alcohol, drugs and dating. If you have a child in middle or high school, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to have open conversation about these topics.
Remember that your children will develop their own strategies on these issues, but you can help them by talking about what you expect, about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s healthy and, most importantly, by talking and listening in a way that creates an open dialogue. Research has shown that kids are exposed to pornography by Grade  6. What they think about this will likely be determined by their peers. It definitely will be if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk to them
about it. 7. Â School years are formative years. Help your children realize that they are defining themselves. The good news is that if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the identity we have created, we can change and form a different identity. Adaptability is a critical component of intelligence. 8. Ask them to watch how they talk to themselves. What does that inner voice say when they are frustrated, life is hard
or they challenged in some new way. Does that voice say, Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hopeless, or does it say, It may be hard,
but I can do it! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to send your children off to school with the tools they need for the
classroom. Preparing them mentally for their return to the classroom will also give them valuable tools for
life. Dr. Robert Lees, R.Psych is the Community Psychologist for the Ministry of Children and Family Development in ChilliwackÂ

Chiefs goaltender hits reset button Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Aidan Pelino hopes a summer to rest up and hit the reset button leads to big things in 2015-16. For the second straight year, Pelino enters the BCHL campaign as the Chilliwack Chiefs starting goaltender. Last year, he couldn’t hang on to the job, torpedoed by inconsistency and the arrival of veteran stopper David Jacobson. This season he intends to go wire to wire. “I’m confident and feel like I’ve adjusted to the league, so it’s all excitement right now,” he said with a smile. Pelino was a highlytouted recruit last year. Lots was expected of him and he expected lots of himself. But he admits he underestimated the jump from U-S prep school hockey to junior A. “I knew it was going to be a challenge but I had a really good year my last year in high school and I had a little more swagger than maybe I should have,” he said. “The guys here are older. It’s a lot faster and there’s a lot more stuff going on in front of you.” “It wasn’t what I expected and I thought I’d mesh into it a little better,” he continued. “But I’m not com-

plaining about it at all because I thought I did well.” Pelino ended the year with respectable stats — 18 wins in 34 appearances with a 3.18 goals-against average and .894 save percentage. At his best, Pelino was able to go into Penticton in mid-December and backstop his Chiefs to a 1-1 tie. Going toe to toe with Vees stopper Hunter Miska in that epic showdown showed what Pelino could be. But, for every peak there was often a valley, and the 20 year old’s biggest challenge is smoothing out his mental game.

Don’t get too down on yourself. Don’t worry about anything other than playing the game and it’ll all work out.” Technically, Pelino has the frame you want in a goalie, standing sixfoot-one.

the butterfly, he doesn’t leave a lot to shoot at and he’s got an agile glove. He identified things on tape last year that needed tweaking, and feels he’s made the adjustments. “The biggest thing is I was over-playing the puck, I was scrambling and finding myself out of position,” Pelino explained. “The good players will capitalize really easy on those, so the biggest thing was fixing that.” Team-wise, Pelino said his crew is focused on one goal, an RBC Cup championship. Individually, he looks to post good numbers and catch the eye of an
NCAA program. “I’d like to get a commitment for sure, but as long as I’m giving my team the best chance possible to win every game, that’s all I want to do,” he said. “I’m sure the BCHL Showcase and the first few months of the season will have a big impact on my future.” “As long as I play my best, it’ll happen whenever and I don’t really want to think about it.” ● Pelino and his Chiefs host the Wenatchee Wild Friday night in their final preseason match. Puck drop is 7 p.m. at Prospera Centre.
Spartan swimmer golden at Western Canada Games Swimmer Jessie Gibson of Chilliwack’s Spartan Swim Club brought home a set of gold medals for the Team BC contingent at the Western Canada Summer Games, which wrapped up Sunday, Aug. 16. Gibson earned three golds and two bronze in the five relay events she was in. Gibson, with teammates Mackenzie Padington (Campbell River), Molly Gowans (Kamloops) and Megan Dalke (Kamloops), claimed the gold in the 4x200-metre freestyle
relay, defeating second-place finishers Alberta by just over four seconds. Gibson also claimed the top spot in the 4x50m freestyle relay with Padington, Wendy Yang (Burnaby) and Meredith Levorson (Coldstream). The Spartan swimmer’s third gold came in the 4x100m freestyle relay with Padington, Levorson and Gowans on the second-last day of the tournament. Gibson also claimed bronze in the 4x50m and 4x100m medley relays.
At this year’s Games in Wood Buffalo, Alta., more than 300 B.C. athletes accounted for 134 gold, 86 silver and 61 bronze medals over 10 days of competition across 19 sporting events. This year’s provincial contingent topped the medal count ahead of Alberta, which finished with 226 total medals and Manitoba at 144. The 2015 medal count is an increase from the 255 medals won at the 2011 Western Canada Summer Games.

A whirlwind preseason trip through the Pacific Northwest afforded new University of the Fraser Valley men’s soccer head coach Tom Lowndes a unique opportunity to take stock of his squad. The Cascades warmed up for the Canada West regular season with a grueling four-games-in-five-days gauntlet, and emerged with one win, two ties and one loss. “It was a really good trip,” said Lowndes. “It was a great chance for us to bond and gel as a team. It was a tough situation, playing that many games – it took a toll on the guys, physically and mentally. But I couldn’t be more proud of the effort. The scores didn’t show how much we dominated in some of the games.”
The Cascades opened in Kirkland, Wash. last Friday against Northwest University, an NAIA squad, and battled the Eagles to a scoreless draw. The next day, they were in Olympia, Wash. to face another NAIA program, the Evergreen State Geoducks. Fourth-year midfielder Connor MacMillan (Chilliwack) scored UFV’s first goal of the trip, but they suffered a 3-1 defeat. On Sunday, the Cascades took on the NCAA Div. III Willamette Bearcats in Salem, Ore. and authored a 2-0 victory. MacMillan and rook-

park. His brother, 12 year old Kaden McCann, also competed at nationals. Kaden finished third in his heat, missing a shot at podium placing by only a couple of points. The brothers and their huge aerial tricks have earned them the attention of one of the largest wakeboard companies in the world, Liquid Force, who during the event welcomed them into the Liquid Force family as sponsored regional team riders. Earlier this summer, the boys received sponsorship from Monster Army (Monster Energy Drinks’ development program for up and coming teen athletes), Rockwell Watches, and Spy Optics. Kory will be featured as a “Sports Kid of the Month” in the Sports Illustrated for Kids October edition.

Chilliwack’s Kor y McCann brought home a silver medal from the Canadian National Wakeboard Championships, held last weekend, in Abbotsford. The event saw more than 70 elite pro and amateur athletes to competing in both boat and cable wakeboarding. McCann, who just turned 11, was the youngest competitor gunning for the national title in the boy’s 13-andunder division. He was one of eight in the division. McCann, a bronze medalist at last year’s nationals, had the advantage of familiarity with the surroundings at Valley Wake Park, his home training ground, but attributed his win to excellent coaching by Tanner Saliken and pro wakeskater James Balzer. Together, the coaches plotted out a strin-

SCOTT, Grace (Nee Cowan) August 4, 1912 - August 24 2015
Grace Scott of Chilliwack BC passed away peacefully at Chilliwack General Hospital on Monday, August 24 at the age of 103. Grace was born on the family farm at Pretty Valley Manitoba near Kenville in the Swan River Valley. She attended normal school in Dauphin and taught in Manitoba during the depression including Thunder Hill until she married Thomas Scott on October 9, 1940. Thomas was enlisted in the RCAF and during the war they lived in several RCAF towns in western Canada including Gimli, Prince Albert and Dauphin and were finally able to restart their lives after those trying years. In 1954 they moved to Edmonton and in 1976 retired to Chilliwack. Grace was a gentle and generous soul with a kind heart and as befitted her name she conducted herself with elegance and poise throughout her life. All those who knew her will attest to that but make no mistake; she was a strong willed and fiercely independent person and was always able to fend for herself. In spite of her small stature she was tough and proved her mettle as a true fighter when she battled and defeated breast cancer in 1962 and went on to live a very long and healthy life. She left her mark on all those who knew her. Grace was predeceased by her husband Thomas Harvey Scott(1991) and she will be greatly missed by her son Robert (Helene), her very special granddaughters Liana Lapalme (Damon) and Carolyn Berry (Mark), great grandchildren Kai Lapalme and Austin Berry as well as numerous nieces and nephews. A memorial service will be held at Chilliwack United Church,45835 Spadina Ave. Chilliwack, on Saturday, September 5th at 10:30 AM.
