Budget debate brings more policing, bike lanes Public input to be sought sooner, council says Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Public safety and bike lanes were two spending priorities that came out on top after council finished an extensive budget wrangling session. By the end of Tuesday’s council meeting, the proposed tax increase of 1.89 per cent remained unchanged — but some of the specific funding priorities were switched up. Chilliwack council paused the budget approval process last
month to see if it could incorporate some public commentary and recommendations from the consultation process. Council was supposed to vote on the 2016 budget and financial plan Feb. 16, after holding a public information meeting, and listening to the views of the public. Concerns from citizens ranged from adding RCMP to the need for dedicated bike lanes, improved trails, as well as heritage protection, and revitalization of the Hope Slough. In the end, council rescinded
third reading of the budget and financial plan bylaw as it stood on March 1, and amended it to reflect a renewed emphasis in certain areas. On top of the two new RCMP officers already accounted for, there were will the ability to hire two information officers, which could free up police officer time, for additional $80,000. Another $100,000 was allocated to the bike lane program, and in turn, the public works budget will be shaved by $65,000, which had been earmarked for pump station inspection and ditch maintenance. Road resurfacing went
down by $115,000 to compensate for the extra RCMP and bike lane additions. Mayor Sharon Gaetz said it was good to see so many citizens involved in the engagement process, even the 92 who tried the new online engagement tool. She said council was talking to staff about moving up the budget consultation opportunity to the fall. She noted they had committed $100,000 to a preliminary study on restoring the Hope Slough, which could cost up to $12 million for the “full meal deal,” which meant full restoration.

B.C. Dairy Association offered a measured response to this week’s animal cruelty charges, emphasizing that the province’s dairy farmers are “extremely passionate” and dedicated to what they do. “As the representative organization of British Columbia’s dairy farmers, we respect the investigation by Crown counsel and the outcome of their investigation,” said BCDA spokesperson Trevor Hargreaves in a release. Late Tuesday the B.C. SPCA announced a total of 20 counts of animal cruelty had been laid against Chilliwack Cattle Sales LTD. Company and seven of its employees. The charges stem from a graphic undercover video shot by an animal rights group in 2014. “The events depicted in the Mercy For Animals video were greatly disturbing to those of us in the dairy industry at both the provincial and national level,” said Hargreaves, “as they were strongly contrary to acceptable industry animal care practices.” The BCDA supported a full investigation from the get-go. At the time, Chilliwack Cattle Sales’ Jeff Kooyman told The Progress the company was “horrified and shocked” by the footage. “We are devastated and deeply saddened,” by the abuse depicted on film, “and it in no way reflects the farming and animal care standards practised by our family or by the dairy industry.” In the wake of the incident, The BCDA signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the B.C. SPCA and implemented a close working relationship

School vandalism bill starting to add up, trustees told Jessica Peters The Progress Vandalism has happened at virtually every school in Chilliwack over the last year, costing the district thousands in labour and materials. Vandals leave behind burnt playgrounds, broken windows, and crude graffiti sprawled across beloved school walls. At Chilliwack secondary, the graffiti is so out of hand that the required sandblasting treatment has all but destroyed the surface of the walls. But the school district hasn’t given up, and will continue to find ways to deter vandals and thieves, said Al VanTassel, the new direc-
tor of facilities and transportation. He provided the school board with a report of the 2015 calendar year’s vandalism at last Tuesday’s meeting, and outlined what they are doing to combat this problem. He broke down the types of vandalism occurring, from non entry issues like graffiti, window breakage, playground damage, and damage to equipment and security cameras, to actual breakin damage, and vandalism inside school during the school day. In 2015, the labour costs associated with vandalism were $26,069 and the costs of materials were $19,638. Additionally, the school district pays $9,550 for alarm monitoring, and $65,482 for a security
runner. VanTassel broke down the vandalism costs between elementary schools, and middle and high schools, as well as north and south side schools. G.W. Graham saw the highest cost of repairs with a bill of $8,576, due in large part to one major incident, VanTassel said. CSS came second in the list at $7,763, but with a higher call volume. CSS had twice the work orders at almost 50, than Little Mountain elementary, which was second on the list for work orders at just under 25 calls for the year. The costs dropped significantly for the remainder of the schools, with Mt. Slesse middle and AD
Rundle middle each over the $3,000 mark. VanTassel noted that many of the schools with high calls and repeated issues are also situated further away from busy roads, and prying eyes. The district has begun creating “dark campuses” which limit light at night and therefore decrease graffiti. They have also increased the quality of their video surveillance at many sites, so that the video captures distinguishable photos of suspects. They’ve installed roll down shutters at 13 schools and two portables, to decrease break-ins and protect equipment inside. This year, they’ve added roll shutters to the grand hall
at CSS to help keep thieves out. And an updated bike storage facility has already greatly reduced bike thefts from CSS in the past two months. They have placed ‘mosquito’ boxes at that location to keep people away at night, and through their increased video camera surveillance have already noticed it’s working. Groups will come and sit down, look around at the noise, and leave — the exact effect desired. CHANCE alternate school was the sole school in the district to not have any vandalism over the last year, while Evans elementary and Cultus Lake elementary each sustained less than $100 in damage.

Group hopes you’ll get hooked on fishing Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Do you have a burning desire to try some fly fishing? All About Fishing 2016 is Saturday, March 12, at Chilliwack Heritage Park. Rodney Hsu of Fraser Valley Salmon Society said the idea of reviving the event is partly to promote the area’s abundant fishing opportunities, as well as sharing key information about fishing. All About Fishing will have exciting demonstrations, games and contests. “This is a great opportunity to learn how to fish properly if you’ve never tried

it, or learn a few techniques if you’re an experienced angler,” he said. With Chilliwack in such close proximity to the Lower Mainland, it’s become the most heavily used fishing area in the region. “People can come out and fish for the day and then get back home in time for dinner.” But for some reason, the full range of angling opportunities are not as well known as they could be. Attendees of All About Fishing can learn something about casting, bait prep or identifying local fish. They can find out where to fish, or try jig tying, knot tying,
or tying flies. An arts and crafts station will be creating a simulated river to talk about good habitat. The fishing event is free, and open to all ages and all skill levels. “Hopefully it will be an annual event from now on,” Hsu noted. “It’s also a good place for recreational anglers to network.” Watershed stewardship is a key component, with more than a dozen conservation groups expected to attend. The 2016 All About Fishing is proudly sponsored by Tourism Chilliwack, Go Fish BC and Fraser Valley Salmon Society.
Asbestos could be accepted at Chilliwack’s Bailey landfill as early as April, giving homeowners and contractors an easier disposal option. The decision is hoped to decrease the amount of construction waste being dumped in rural areas all around Chilliwack, from the shores of the Fraser River to the edges of Chilliwack Lake Road. Chilliwack city council gave the amendment of their solid waste collection bylaw three readings on Tuesday, and Mayor Sharon Gaetz thanked the environmental services department for their efforts. As it stands, Bailey landfill does not accept any materials believed to contain the dangerous and common substance asbestos, although the landfills in Vancouver and Mission accept such products from addresses within their own areas. The only option for homeowners or contractors to properly dispose of asbestos containing materials is to have it transported to the nearest facility that accepts out-of-area materials, which is in Alberta. But the changes don’t mean asbestos materials can just be dumped at Bailey, either. Materials will still need to be tested by a specialist to determine whether or not they contain asbestos. Commonly, asbestos is found in items such as drywall tape or mud from pre-1990 construction. Drywall that is date-stamped after 1990, or material that has proper documentation will be accepted at Bailey, and an amount of money has been earmarked for training landfill staff on the new measures. Once the next few steps are finalized and a plan is in place to accept the asbestos materials, the guidelines will be clearly posted at the landfill and on the landfill website.

Chilliwack real estate market remains red hot the Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board began taking statistics,” said Admiraal. Sales were strong in all categories, but particularly for single family homes, which hit 163 in sales. Dollar value on home sales last month reached just over $98.3 million, up 54% over February of last year. But homes in Chilliwack remain affordable, he added. The highest number of homes sold in Chilliwack in February,
The real estate market is unusually hot in Chilliwack right now, and it could be the sign of things to come. February was a record breaker for home sales, with 283 home sales in the area. That’s a 42 per cent increase in sales compared to February last year, said Richard Admiraal, president of the Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board. “It was the highest level of sales ever recorded for the month of February, ever since
49, were in the $300,000 to $349,000 range. There were 45 homes sold in the $400,000 to $499,999 range, and 43 priced between $350,000 and $399,999. More homes were sold in Chilliwack proper than in Sardis, he added. But inventory remains a challenge, especially in this red-hot market. There were 1,021 active listings — well below the 1,369 listings available at the same time last year. When low inventory num-
Stakes ‘huge’ for asbestos worker if ruling stands Black Press WorkSafeBC is appealing a B.C. Supreme Court ruling that has thrown into question the workplace regulator’s enforcement powers against asbestos removal contractors that expose employees to danger. The court last month rejected WorkSafe’s request for a contempt of court finding against Seattle Environmental Consulting Ltd. and its owners, Mike and Shawn Singh, who had received more than 230 workplace violation orders and more than $200,000 in fines dating back to 2007. Justice George Macintosh dismissed the application, citing concern that a previous WorkSafe order was too broad and the underlying safety regulations too complex and “voluminous.” Observers say the stakes are high if the appeal fails and leaves bad actors in the free to ignore the laws designed to protect workers. “If this ruling were allowed to stand then the protection of workers from the number one killer in British

Columbia would be null and void,” SFU health sciences professor Tim Takaro. “The judge is saying that the regulations aren’t clear, he can’t follow them and you don’t have to. So that’s huge.” The decision was described as “ludicrous” by BC Insulators Union spokesman Lee Loftus, who himself suffers from workplace asbestos exposure. “This is the 20th cen-
tury, this is nolonger the 18th century,” said Loftus. “People have lost their lives. Those regulations and those laws are literally written in blood. We don’t make this stuff up.” Tough enforcement does work when WorkSafeBC brings its full weight to bear, Loftus said. In 2012, notorious Surrey-area asbestos removal contractor Arthur Moore was sen-
tenced to 60 days in jail for contempt of court after repeated asbestos safety violations across the Lower Mainland. His workers included teenage girls and recovering addicts wearing improper protective gear as they removed asbestos-laden material from homes that had been declared asbestos-free through forged tests. Loftus said Moore’s jail term “straightened him out.”

bers and hot sales combine, it means that prices are likely to be driven upward, he added. “It’s good to see that sales are up and activity strong, and it is fair to say that with a robust market and limited inventory, prices are likely to continue to edge upward,” he said. But with 38 per cent of Chilliwack residential sales under $300,000, he said there are still plenty of affordable options for homebuyers “squeezed out” of the Vancouver area.

ASBESTOS from page 3 Materials will need to be transported with all the proper manifestos, according to provincial and federal regulations. They will need to be double bagged, goose-neck tied and sealed with duct tape in 6 ml poly bags, and labelled ‘asbestos.’ The city is already working with their landfill operator Tervita Corporation, a health and safety consultant, the Ministry of Environment, and WorkSafe BC on the project. The estimated set up and training for staff will cost $26,200, with monthly maintenance costs of about $24,975. Staff proposed limits to how much waste will be accepted, and in what form. They would accept up to 10 bags per originating property, per day, at a rate of $20 per load up to 114kg, or $175 per metric tonne. There would also be a $500 surcharge, plus cost of abatement, for dumping asbestos waste as regular garbage. Asbestos waste would be accepted from Chilliwack, Kent, Harrison Hot Springs, and Electoral Areas D, E, and H. The proposed bylaw amendment also includes slight increases to the rate for non-asbestos gypsum, from $125 per metric tonne to $150 per metric tonne. Coun. Sam Waddington asked staff what homeowners pay for testing, and the answer was around $25 to $100, depending on how quickly results are needed. Coun. Chris Kloot asked if Mission landfill had been approached to see if they would be interested in taking this area’s asbestos. Staff said they had been approached, and they are not interested. Gaetz noted there are a number of unregulated landfills in the area who may appreciate receiving this same information, in the interest of sharing “best practices.”

Driving to distraction
The Chilliwack
Progress
R AESIDE
One would think it wouldn’t still need to be said. But Chilliwack RCMP and ICBC are again reminding drivers to leave the phone alone. They’re launching yet another campaign aimed at underlining just how dangerous it is to use a phone while driving. And it is dangerous. According to ICBC, 25 per cent of all road deaths in the province involve distracted driving. That’s one in four. And, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the odds of crashing increase five times when using a phone, whether dialing, texting, reading or using social media. In the Lower Mainland, it’s estimated that 27 people are killed in distracted driving-related crashes every year. Faced with those numbers, it’s hard to imagine why drivers would still use their phone while they’re behind the wheel. But they do. According to a recent survey by Ipsos Reid, 34 per cent of cell phone users said they use their phone between one and five times out of every 10 trips. “It’s time we all commit to leaving our phones alone and avoid other forms of distraction when we’re behind the wheel,” said Lindsay Matthews, ICBC’s director responsible for road safety. This month police, backed by volunteers like Chilliwack Speedwatch, will be on the roads watching for drivers who have not yet got the message. “We’re cracking down on those who cannot police themselves.” said Chief Constable Neil Dubord, Chair of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police Traffic Safety Committee. “Even when you’re at a red light or in slow moving traffic – you’re still in control of a vehicle – and the law still applies.” But we can all be part of the solution. Talk to your family, talk to your friends and remind them that if they’re driving without their full attention on the road they’re an accident waiting to happen. ~ Black Press

No-roam rule for feline friends unrealistic We have a cat. He’s black. He wandered into our barn one day in July 2009. He was scrawny thin, skittish, full of worms, wouldn’t be touched, but in the barn he found rodent groceries just to his liking. We had no idea where he came from or how old he was. But we’d had black cats before and “Raven” we suspected was a descendant of one of them. He was an undisputed knock-off of Raven No. 1 that we adopted as a kitten 23 years ago. We became Raven’s humans. He came to trust us. He followed us to the house one day, walked in one door and out the other, and decided the human barn was better than the horse one. He took up residence on his cat mat and stayed. He got wormed. He got neutered. That controlled his
urge to wander, breed, and get into fights. But it caused him to take a raincheck on humans for a while. He stayed, but with conditions. Meals were to be served at set times, on time. Petting was allowed. Laps were required. A kitty litter tray was not an option. And Margaret he would be free to come and go EVANS to hunt mice and birds at will. I bring up Raven’s stor y because the conservation organization Nature Canada wants all cat owners to keep their cats indoors and stop them from hunting, to protect birds. In 2013, Environment Canada estimated that 270 million birds are killed
in Canada every year and topping the reasons for bird deaths are cats, both pets and feral. Their report stated that cat predation coupled with collisions with tall buildings and transmission lines account for more than 95 per cent of bird losses. Industrial causes of mortality include electrical power (towers), agricultural sectors (haying and harvest), forestry (destruction of nests in trees), loss of habitat (grassland, brush, and wetlands) because of urban spread, flying into glass windows of homes and being killed through the impact of wind turbines. This week Nature Canada launched its campaign “Keep Cats Safe and Save Birds’ Lives”. Nothing wrong with that in principle. Cats face two high mortalities when hunting. Whether

in the city or the country, they are victim to being run over or becoming prey for coyotes and other predators. As for birds, the greatest impact of cats is on birds that spend time feeding on the ground such as thrushes, sparrows, and juncos. According to Nature Canada, on a global scale cats have contributed to the extinction of 34 species of birds. Indeed, birds worldwide are in trouble. One in eight of the world’s bird species is considered threatened and 217 critically endangered species are at risk of imminent extinction. Songbirds are in serious decline across North America. Some 44 per cent of Canada’s 460 plus bird species have fallen in number, some by as much as 80 per cent, especially aerial insectivores such as barn swallows,

swifts, and flycatchers. Climate change isn’t helping as migration times and seasonally emerging foods (seeds, pollinating flowers, or insects) are no longer dovetailing at critical times. But, really, how realistic is the no-roaming cause for cats? Some people have trained their cats to walk on a leash. Other people have constructed a feline outdoor pen. But for many cats the urge to hunt is so overwhelming it’s ingrained in their DNA and no amount of containment or control will quell their yowling to be let out, perhaps eventually to their peril. Raven is aging now. His wanderings are far less and he seldom ventures further than the garden where, I hate to admit, he is still the renowned Darth Vader of the vegetable patch.

Condo fees: You get what you pay for As a retired realtor, I thought condo living would be an ideal form of housing in retirement. However, this has proved to be a disaster for many with limited income or savings. In 2011 the B.C. government realized that condo buildings were deteriorating because owners were not putting enough money into their strata corporation maintenance or contingency reserve funds (CRF) to keep the building properly maintained. To address this concern, they amended the act to require strata councils to have a depreciation report be completed by a “qualified person” (e.g., and engineer) every three years. Realizing this extra cost could be politically damaging, the government gave the owners a way to avoid this expense by permitting Strata councils to conduct an annual vote; the depreciation report could be avoided if 75 per cent of the owners agreed. The majority of councils did suggest that owners “vote against,” so many strata corporations still
have not had a depreciation report completed, with the result being deteriorating buildings and low strata fees. Low strata fees may seem appealing to purchasers and owners. However, when the roof needs replacing, for example, the money has to be raised by huge special levies on the owners. I have seen owners crying in strata meetings because they could not afford the levies. Our council did order the report, which resulted in the engineers finding a number of deficiencies. This resulted in three special levies being imposed on owners and a year of workers repairing and renewing our building (in my case it cost me $32,000 in special levies). As part of the depreciation report, after all the urgent repairs were completed, we were given a choice of three financial options and the owners chose the most expensive; they never wanted to pay a special levy again. Our strata
fees are now about double compared to local condo buildings that have not completed the depreciation report, but we have a renewed building, a 30-year maintenance plan funding from the CRF (about half our monthly fees go into this fund), and no worries about catastrophic building failure or huge special levies. Several of our owners have had to move to assisted living accommodation and have put their condo units on the market. Realtors report that as soon as potential purchasers learn of the high strata fees, they lose interest in even looking at a unit, preferring condo buildings with no depreciation report and lower strata fees. If they buy a unit with lower fees, who knows what nasty surprises may be in their future. The old saying, “You get what you pay for” proves true.

A better way needed to deal with bears This letter may be a little late, but it has taken me a while to write it. My saga began last summer in August. You know there were a lot of black bears around, being no berries and lack of food for them. We live up on the mountain, at the quiet end, have a plum tree and a great number of grapes. There seemed to be twice the amount this year because our summer was so long and beautiful. My husband saw him first; he called me out and as I looked up in the tallest tree in our front yard there was a baby bear up there. He told me there was no mom around so I took a few pictures of him and we had to leave for dinner. When we got home the little bear was gone and I really didn’t think about it. Two days later there is a little bear strolling through the front yard and disappearing into the neighbour’s yard (where at the time no one was living). This
continued for a week of daily visits from the little bear. No sight of a mom and he seemed to be just here for the grapes. He was a good little bear, stayed a distance from us but was as curious as we were. I was watching his favourite tree, thinking, “boy, he sure grew a lot in a week.” I went outside for a closer look and our one little bear had become two. We called them Yogi and Boo Boo. I called Critter Care and they told me to call conservation, to make sure to tell them I had spoke to Critter Care and they would take them. I phoned conservation and luckily got one of the officers right away and he came to see them. The conservation officer told me their mother had been hit by a car three weeks previously and they had to shoot her because her hip was shattered. He said these guys were her cubs and he would tranquilize them and take them into
Critter Care. I was very happy with that. He shot Boo Boo first and he was out in no time. But Yogi seemed to know what was going on and went down the tree like lightning and took off. We looked for him for almost an hour and couldn’t find him. Boo went to Critter Care and I continued to look for Yogi. I found out quickly enough where he was and everyone in downtown Yarrow saw him at one time or another. The one lady called me every time he was there. I, in turn, called conservation. This happened three times; I was never allowed to talk to an officer. I even told them the lady was willing to have a cage on her property so Yogi could go off to Critter Care with his brother. I called Critter Care and told them I was getting really worried. They told me to put flyers up and maybe I would get calls. Monday I got a call from a resident in Yarrow tell-
ing me their neighbour had been woken up at five a.m. The guy looked out his window when he heard shots and saw an RCMP officer dragging my little bear away. There was no need for this to happen. This little bear did not attack anyone. He was not in people’s garbage. He was up in fruit trees. He was hungry. There was a place for him with his brother at Critter Care. I need to know when this is going to stop. We are taking their land and can’t even help a couple of cubs who lose their mother, It is time we started sharing with these animals and helping them – not shooting them. Critter Care named Boo Remington, and he is doing well. But it could have had a happier ending. It is time we all got involved and try to help instead of kill. J. Liebe

Subdividing large parcels in the ALR rejected Committee can have a tough go of it on occasion. “It’s tough at times when you have to make decisions about your neighbours.” The AAC had supported the proposed subdivisions, and said they would be of benefit to agriculture, and supported succession planning. Also, an assessment by Statlu Environmental Consulting found that the subdivision will have minimal impact on agricultural capability due to the existing farming operations and the large parcel sizes.

take this type of action because the current owners pledge to continue family farming down the line. “It comes down to what are the rights of separate title of land in the ALR,” he said. The smaller the parcel, the more valuable the land. “We have a finite resource that we are managing in terms of ag land, and we need to be making decisions for 100 years from now, not 10,” said Coun. Waddington. Coun. Lum commented on how members of the Agricultural Advisory
¨
It was not just one, but two applications from Chilliwack farmland owners, that came before council Tuesday to subdivide large parcels within the Agricultural Land Reserve into two lots. Both were forwarded to the Agricultural Land Commission “without support” by Chilliwack council, in part because there was no appetite to set precedent in this way in the ALR. The discussion went back and forth at the council table, as to whether to forward the subdivision applications to the ALC “without support” or “without comment.” The first applicant was for 43501 South Sumas and the second, at 47982 Yale Road, and both parcels were more than 10 hectares. “I’m concerned about the message that will be sent if we allow more land titles to be created by subdividing in the ALR,” said Coun. Chris Kloot, who also chairs the Agricultural Advisory Committee. This kind of application can lead to undermining the integrity of
the ALR, he said. There was some discussion about attaching the “without comment” versus “without support” but in the end, council decided it needed to make a definitive statement. Coun. Sam Waddington said he was of the “same mind” as Coun. Kloot and the rest of council, although he knows family succession is a big issue in the ag community. “I’m not comfortable voting for these types of situation that set precedent,” said Waddington.

What’s green and healthy and made on two wheels? A blender bike smoothie, of course. They are the latest sensation at Yarrow elementary, and are whipped up every Tuesday morning by the students, for the students. At about 9 a.m., one chosen class makes their way to the school’s lobby, where all of the ingredients and tools have been set out by parent volunteers. It’s a production line full of busy hands, big smiles, and multiple taste tests snuck from compostable sampler cups. This Tuesday, there were giant bowls of frozen peaches, strawberries and mangos. There were pails of kale, spinach and swiss chard. There was orange juice, agave syrup, and ice cubes. And right at the centre of the action was the beloved blender bike. The light green mountain bike — the Yarrow Community Smoothie Cycle — has been retrofitted with a special kit purchased online from Rock the Bike. The kit is designed to hold the back tire in place, turning the bike into a spinning machine. But the real twist here is the platform that holds a blender in place, allowing the user to harness all that pedaling power into a freshly-blended smoothie. It’s not as easy as it sounds. This is hard work, and this week Mrs. Blessin’s class was chosen for the honourable Smoothie Tuesday duty. As the kids worked to fill up the blender containers with peaches, swiss chard and ice cubes, they also took turns trying out the bike. With the blenders full of chunky ice and frozen fruit, the job was nearly impossible for some. But they kept at it, with their classmates cheering them on. Eventually, through teamwork, the blenders get the job
mostly done and mix all that fruit into deliciously sweet offering. To help speed things up and finish the job, the kids also take their small batches over to a power station. From there, they patiently poured out dozens and dozens of samplers — enough for the entire school. Even the pre-school kids receive a knock on the door and a delivery of smoothies. Sometimes, like this week, the smoothies are green. Other times they’ll end up yellow, orange or pink. No matter the colour, most of the students at Yarrow are keen to try their sample. And it’s probably because they’re getting used to seeing all manners of vegetables. Smoothie Tuesday grew from an even more exciting program taking shape at the school. Last school year, with support from a few parents, local businesses, volunteers and a lot of kid power, they created a garden on their school grounds. At a
recent presentation to the school board, Yarrow’s principal Tracey Wagner thanked parent Molly Armstrong, community school coordinator Sally Lum, and teacher Angela Woods, for their vision behind the garden. In the planning stages last school year, it became very clear this would be a well-loved community garden, and would go forward with or without grants. With an army of volunteers from the school and community, they turned a lowly strip of concrete and grass into a thriving garden space, complete with an outdoor classroom and seven

raised beds. The garden was a project intended to help teach food literacy, but its grown offshoots into all corners of the school, and the community. Smoothie Tuesday was one way to use the greens harvested at the school garden. The garden, lovingly cared for by the students themselves both during class time and on breaks, has become a place to gather, to play hide and seek, to learn, to teach and to inspire. The garden shed opens up to reveal a teaching place, complete with a blackboard and wooden stumps to act as outdoor stools. While the garden is plumbed to deliver water when it’s needed, students can also get water from the rain water barrel and watering cans. They are learning not only to plant, but to harvest and then gather seeds. And they are learning to love eating food grown in their backyard. They’re growing spinach, kale, chard, cucumbers, peas, squash, strawberries, basil, chocolate mint, tomatoes, blueberries, sunflowers, and more. They are learning about bees, and have embraced “natural play”. The whole experience has even brought about an opportunity for students to take part in gleaning at Wisbey’s Veggies, where they learned about giving to the local food bank. Every student in the school is connected to the garden, whether they enjoy tending to the plants in it, or counting out seeds, or learning how to make a delicious salad. The smoothies, ever y Tuesday, are just one way the kids are reaping what they’ve sown. This week’s recipe was named Peachy Green. To make the smoothie at home, blend 2 cups of mixed fruit (peaches, strawberries, mango), 2 cups of mixed greens (kale, spinach, swiss chard), 1 cup of orange juice, 1 cup of ice cubes, and 1 tbsp of agave syrup. Add water if needed.

Soroptimist International Message from the Chilliwack President Each year around the world, International Women’s Day is celebrated on March 8. Thousands of events occur not just on this day but throughout March to mark the economic, political and social achievements of women. In fact, International Women’s Day has been observed since the early 1900’s. International Women’s Day is about supporting and respecting women everywhere - in every corner of the globe, in boardrooms and in the home. The day is now celebrated in dozens of countries around the world with thousands of events to inspire women and celebrate achievements. A global web of rich and diverse local activity connects women from all around the world ranging from political rallies, business conferences, government activities and networking events to local women’s craft markets, theater performances, fashion parades and more. Each year the United Nations declares an overall International Women’s Day theme. With this year’s theme “Planet 50-50 by 2030: Step It Up for Gender Equality” The United Nations observance on 8 March will reflect on how to accelerate the 2030 Agenda, building momentum for the effective implementation of the new Sustainable Development Goals. It will equally focus on new commit-
ments under UN Women’s Step It Up initiative, and other existing commitments on gender equality, women’s empowerment and women’s human rights. - All of us-women and men alike-can help by supporting women’s efforts to claim their legal rights, live free from violence, earn a decent income, get an education, grow food for their families, and make their voices heard in their communities and beyond. So make a difference, think globally and act locally! Make every day ‘International Women’s Day’. Do your bit to ensure that the future for our women and girls worldwide is bright, equal, safe and rewarding.

Networking plays an integral role in professional growth. Professionals who can nurture relationships within their fields are more likely to be in tune with what’s going on, and a network of peers can play a role in career advancement. But networking can fall by the wayside as many simply can’t find the time in their hectic schedules to foster relationships with professional colleagues. But the benefits of networking are numerous and should be made a priority.

· Make networking a priority. Make an effort to keep in touch with current and previous clients and any other contacts made over the years. Something as simple as an email to catch up or an inquiry to see if there’s anything fellow professionals need will help you stay on their minds, which can help you bring in new business or learn about new opportunities down the road.

· Revisit your network from time to time. A network is only beneficial if it remains current. Keep track of the professionals in your network so you know when and where to reach them should you need to do so. · Avoid networking only when you need something. Don’t forget to make periodic contact with your colleagues even when you don’t need anything. A simple email to catch up and to offer some unsolicited help if any is needed can be enough to prevent you from earning a reputation as a me-first contact and put you in a positive light that can benefit you throughout your career.

Dairy farmers say images of abuse do not represent majority DAIRY from Front around animal care complaints. Random farm inspections ensuring code compliance are conducted by an independent animal welfare evaluator. The ProAction Dairy Animal Care program has also gone into effect, and adoption on dairy farms across B.C. is mandatory. Hargreaves took issue with some of the statements around “factory-
farming” as depicted in the media since the charges were laid. “While Chilliwack Cattle Sales had over 3,000 cows on their farm at the time of the incident, it’s important to understand that the average number of cows on a dairy farm in British Columbia is about 130.” Most are family owned and run. “This is a far cry from industrial scale operations. Dairy farmers in this province are
extremely passionate about what they do and have a dedication to high standards of animal care in their operations.” Their focus in the aftermath has been on implementation of strengthened measures and industry changes on B.C. dairy farms. Before the animal welfare group released the video, the industry, through groups like the B.C. Dairy Association, had been working toward updating prac-

It covers animal handling, feed and water, housing, health and welfare management, and husbandry practices — to ensure dairy cows are treated with care and respect.

We care about what we do.” Since the charges were laid, he said he thought there were many related issues that must be addressed. “The Kooyman family has contributed to the community in so many positive ways. I have dealt with them many times and have the utmost respect for them as business owners, farmers, and fellow members of the community. “There is no excuse for the abuse of animals.

by local farmers, the BC dairy industry, all the way up to DFC. We have a responsibility as dairy farmers to take the best possible care of our cows and any other animals we have on our farms.” After the incident, the online world was “flooded with images and videos” of the worst examples of abuse from farms all over the world. “I am not opposed to the work of animal rights groups, as long as their message is in the proper context. The broad statement by Mercy for Animals that such activity observed at CCC happens at every dairy farm is flat out false.
“It is unfair of them to label an industry and chastise us all in the court of public opinion, showing footage from a 250,000-cow factory dairy in the United States and claiming that it is no different than the 50-cow family farm down the street.” Toop appealed for reason. “As a local dairy farmer, I urge you, do not let the loudest voice and the most brutal imagery stop you from making your own judgement. Contact a local farmer, or visit a neighborhood dairy. See with your own eyes the real heart of our community.”
Budget talk brings changes BUDGET from Front On the subject of public safety and adding police officers, she reminded everyone that council can’t dictate to RCMP how their resources are deployed but they could discuss the issues. The wrangling session was an exercise in finances and budgeting but it was also a nod to the democratic process at the council level. The public is seeing “a small sliver” into the annual “arm wrestling” that goes on during budget time, said Coun. Jason Lum. “One of the things through the process that was highlighted for me was that the public definitely wants to be, and will be part of the process.”

Make a date for the return of ‘Mini Medical School’ Improving health literacy through mini med school The popular Mini Medical School series is back, with four topics designed to help inform and empower patients in Chilliwack. These mini talks will take place every Tuesday evening, and run the gamut from herd immunity, depression and anxiety, how to talk to your doctor, and end of life care. This is the eighth year for this free series of information sessions on health topics that matter to you. They will be led by medical resi-
dents, with support from physician lead, Dr. Chantal Chris. They will talk face to face with community members in this series of informal discussions and possibly life-altering learning. :We see a real need for this sort of community education where patients and health care professionals can talk with each other at length and that’s exactly what Mini Medical School offers,” Dr. Chris says. From clearing up myths about immunization to having the some-
times difficult conversation about end of life care, the series will explore health matters that affect everyone in simple, easy to understand language. Amongst other things, the series will also raise awareness about mental health and talk about ways to address such concerns. The ER, walk-in clinic, GP office, pharmacy – where do you go when you need primary care? The session on how to really talk to you doctor will also go over how to appropriately access primary care. Topics include:
March 8: Heard of herd immunity? Public health strategies for keeping you well March 15: Mental Health Matters: Depression, Anxiety and More March 22: How to Really Talk to Your Doctor March 29: End of Life Care: Having an Exit Strategy for Life Also in attendance will be various community organizations that offer health care resources in Chilliwack. Representatives from pharmacies, senior support, mental health sup-
port services and public health will be at the different sessions to share services available in town. The event is sponsored by Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation, as well as Decades Coffee Club, Hofstede’s Country Barn and UBC Family Medicine Residency Program. Each session runs from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. Register at www.universe. com/minimed2016 or call 604-7024757. Registration encouraged but walk-ins welcome.
“I feel strongly that by listening to people, we are making better project decisions.” - Lexa Hobenshield, External Relations Manager, Kinder Morgan Canada
For more than four years, we’ve worked together with our neighbours and local communities to hear what they have to say about our proposed pipeline expansion. By listening closely and having an open dialogue, we’ve been able to create a stronger, safer and more responsive project. We are working to meet all the requirements of the regulators, as well as consulting with communities, Indigenous people, government agencies and municipalities – and we’ll continue to work with them throughout development, construction and operations. We know how critical it is to get this right. Most importantly, we’re acting on what we hear with significant changes to the Project.
How feedback has resulted in a stronger, safer and better project: • • • • • • •
A $100 million investment in the West Coast Marine Response Corporation (WCMRC) for marine safety enhancements. A commitment to offset any greenhouse gas emissions resulting from construction. An increase in safety valves along the pipeline from 94 to 126. An increase in pipeline wall thickness in sensitive areas, such as urban locations and at river crossings. Routing of the pipeline to avoid 22 crossings at fish-inhabited rivers including the Fraser, upper North Thompson, Albreda, Coldwater and Coquihalla. Routing to avoid environmentally sensitive areas, such as Cheam Wetlands and three BC Class A parks. Routing of the pipeline to minimize community impacts to the Westsyde neighbourhood in Kamloops and the Westridge neighbourhood in Burnaby.

Aboriginal Family Gathering helps promote wellness Sam Bates The Progress Central Elementary celebrated health, family and culture on Tuesday afternoon. The school gym was bustling with students and parents during their Aboriginal Family Gathering event, one of three that the school hosts each year. As a collaborative effort between the school and Fraser Health, the theme of the recent gathering was health and wellness. More than 28 service providers were present to educate parents about the healthcare services available in the community. “We bring the service providers in so that it’s easy, for families who might not seek it out on their own, or know where to go,” Principal Leslie Waddington explained. The kids were there to learn as well. Each student was participating in a scavenger hunt, visiting the tables to ask questions and complete activities to fill out 12 boxes on their passports, which were later submitted into prize draws. As they collected clues, they learned the basics of Canada’s Food Guide at one table, about the Play Boxes that are set up in the community at another booth, and tried out some healthy snacks and drinks at another. “There are many layers of purpose to these gatherings,” Waddington explained. Overall, they’re a celebration of culture.
Dancers Georgia, Nicole and Annelyn (L to R) provided students and parents at Central Elementary with a demonstration of First Nations dance forms at the Aboriginal Family Gathering event on March 1. SAM BATES/ PROGRESS
“We really want to help our aboriginal families feel welcome and comfortable at the school,” she said. Central Elementary serves the downtown core of Chilliwack. Nearly half of the students at the school are aboriginal in descent. “Family welcoming events encourage parents and families to be part of the school, which means they’re better able to support their
children and become better partners in their children’s education.” Students held history in their hands as they checked out treasures at the Chilliwack Metis Association table, like the porcupine quill box, the handmade carving set and cedar boxes, the moccasins and the beaded medicine bags. They then were greeted by a welcome song from the Williams family, and a demonstration of three

First Nations dance forms. Local Aboriginal Educational Assistant Nicole Aquash lead the group of six young Cheam dancers, who were dressed in traditional First Nations dance regalia. Nicole joined Annelyn Victor (12) and Georgia Bernard (9) in “jingle dresses,” which are adorned with rows of metal cones. The metal traditionally came from chewing tobacco can lids, a trading good.
“Listen to the sound, it sounds like rain,” Nicole said before the three girls chimed across the floor with delicate footwork. Each jingle dress had a unique design to showcase the individual personality of the wearer. Sisters Michaela (9) and Nikola Victor (5) were “fancy dancers” when their turn came. They wrapped a shawl around their shoulders, which resembles wings when their arms are outstretched. The girls fluttered like butterflies as they circled the room. Wearing brightly coloured fringe, young gentleman Dustin Bernard (9) and Elijah Victor (7) rounded out the demonstration as “grass dancers.” Their footwork resembled stomping the ground, as though they were stomping down the arena grass before grand entry into a powwow celebration. Once the dancers made their exit, families enjoyed delicious, homemade bannock and a hearty dinner, prepared by Marilyn Ryan, Yvonne Tumangday and youth who were learning the recipes from the elders. “It takes a committed partnership of parents, schools, and the community to meet the needs of every child,” Waddington said. All Central Elementary families are invited to attend the gatherings, and aboriginal families from neighbouring schools are encouraged to join them as well. The next event will be held in the spring.

Asparagus offers the ultimate welcome to springtime Asparagus is one of our oldest perennial vegetables. The generic word is derived from the Greek ‘asparagos’ meaning ‘to tear’, which relates to the prickly nature of some stalks as they mature. Asparagus, as one of today’s highly prized gourmet vegetables, is relatively expensive because it takes at least three years from seed until it comes into production; it requires considerable commercial growing area; and it has a limited production season. If you really enjoy this unique vegetable, NEW STORM 28F
why not grow your own? Asparagus is hardy from Zones 1-4, meaning it will tolerate temperatures as cold as -40°C. To keep the cost down, commercial growers usuBrian ally start MINTER asparagus from seed, but most home gardeners start it from two year old roots. However, by planting four year old
roots (you can find these jumbo sized plants in some nurseries), you will save at least one year to harvesting time. Once planted, asparagus roots are productive for at least fifteen years. ‘Mary Washington’ has traditionally been the favourite variety, but newer hybrid all-male varieties like ‘Jersey Knight’ produce larger crops of big, attractive green spears with purple bracts and tight purple tips. There are also purple varieties and white ones as well. To grow asparagus you need a really

sunny location with well-drained, slightly alkaline soil. It is very important to make certain the asparagus roots go straight down and because of this, the traditional method of planting involves trenches. Furrows or trenches should be dug about 12 inches wide and 12 to 18 inches deep, depending upon the length of the roots. Rows should be 4 feet apart. The bottom of the trench should be filled with 2 to 3 inches of wellcomposted manures. Mix the manure up well with the existing soil and then add a few inches of just soil on top. Create a mound of soil in the centre of the trench, leaving the crest about 3 to 4 inches below the level of the garden soil. At this point, the asparagus roots can be planted. To speed up the rooting process, I always dip them in a mixture of warm water, root starter fertilizer and mud. This muddy concoction sticks to the roots and immediately begins to stimulate root development. Lay the roots on top of the mound of soil in

the trench, spreading the roots evenly on both sides of this small berm. Place the plants about 18 inches apart and backfill the trench, leaving the crowns or tips of the asparagus just barely covered with soil. Root growth will begin almost immediately. Weeds can be a problem in new asparagus
beds because wellestablished roots will intermingle with the asparagus roots. Keep your asparagus beds weed free by hand cultivation, but remember: practice shallow cultivation for fear of injuring the asparagus roots. During the summer, asparagus needs deep watering to keep the

roots active and growing. Soaker hoses are the best means of watering these beds. During dry spells, water thoroughly at least once a week. As the asparagus plumes begin to develop, feed the plants with a high nitrogen fertilizer. I prefer to use a slowrelease food, like 14-1414 for more long lasting results. It is important to keep the tops growing to develop both food and strength in the roots. If you are an organic buff, parsley planted with asparagus gives added vigour to both. Tomatoes planted near asparagus will keep away the asparagus beetle because of a substance in the tomato plant called solanine. The second year after planting, you can begin harvesting a few spears for a period of four to six weeks. When the spears are 6-8 inches high, cut them at a 45 degree angle about 1½ inches below the soil line, but be careful for fear of damaging the crowns. At the start of the harvesting season, you will probably harvest every three days, but as the soil becomes warmer, a daily harvesting can take place. Once the spears become very thin, it’s a sign the roots are near exhaustion, and it is time to stop cutting. Let the plumes grow all summer. In the Lower Mainland, the plumes should be cut off in September and the roots covered with 4 inches of coarse manure. It may seem like a fair amount of work the first year, but once established, with a little care, you will enjoy your own fresh asparagus for the next fifteen years.

Holden and company dominated in an 85-64 win, moving on to face the top-ranked Duchess Park Condors Thursday night (after Progress press deadlines). See next week’s sports section to see how they did. ERIC WELSH/ PROGRESS
Express standing in Chilliwack’s way Chilliwack Chiefs head coach Jason Tatarnic says his team is healthy and ready to roll into the BCHL playoffs, and that includes the goalies. Starter Aidan Pelino hasn’t played since Feb. 17, though he has been on the bench as Matteo Esposito’s backup the last few games. “Maybe,” Tatarnic said with a coy grin when asked if Pelino could have played last weekend, when Espo was lit up for eight goals in an 8-5 season ending loss to Victoria. Esposito went the distance in three games last weekend and three the weekend before.
It seemed to catch up to him against the Grizzlies. “He’s been playing a lot, and that should ease up a bit now,” Tatarnic said. “This weekend we’ll be able to play either one of our goalies.” “Aidan will be available.” Tatarnic’s crew is the top seed in the Mainland division and will face the fourth-seeded Coquitlam Express in a best-ofseven series that, on paper, looks like a colossal mismatch (see Jacob Bestebroer’s column to the right). Tatarnic would never say so. “You have to respect any team you face and
anyone can beat anyone on any night,” the coach said diplomatically. “It doesn’t matter who you play, you have to play 60 minutes hard.” Sure, but Coquitlam didn’t beat Tatarnic’s team in seven regular season meetings and must. The Express need to top them four times in the next week and a half to move on. “There might be some doubt over there if they can beat us, but that’s for them to worry about,” Tatarnic said. “We have to play a team that’s in our way of advancing and we’ll take it one shift, one period and one game at a time.”
“It’s a race to four and that’s our focus.” The Express are the definition of a one line team. Shut down Alex Kerfoot, Jackson Cressey and Austin McIlmurray and this series should be short. “Their offence lies mostly with that line so you could look at it analytically and say we shut that line down and they’ll have a hard time scoring,” Tatarnic noted. “They get double shifted a lot, so we’ll make sure our guys are aware when they’re on the ice and make sure we’re sound defensively.” See bchl.ca for more playoff info.
For the second straight year the Chilliwack Chiefs will face the Coquitlam Express in round one of the playoffs. Games one and two of the best of seven series go tonight (Friday) and Saturday in Chilliwack, with both games starting at 7 p.m. On paper it’s a mismatch. Over the course of the 58 game regular season, the Chiefs won 38, 16 more than the Express. They scored 249 goals, 68 more than Coquitlam. Defensively the Express allowed 239 goals. The Chiefs allowed 155. Head to head it’s even more one sided. The two teams faced each other seven times. Chilliwack won all seven, out-scoring the Express 47-19. Individually the Chiefs top guns have put up ridiculous numbers in those seven games. Vimal Sukumaran scored eight times and added nine assists. Jordan Kawaguchi played in six of the games and scored ten goals and six assists. Jeremy Germain chipped in a goal and 11 assists. The Express goaltenders struggled mightily against the Chiefs this season. In just over 80 minutes Tyger Howat, who may not be available due to injury, allowed ten goals. Lawson Fenton, who left Saturday’s game in Chilliwack with an injury allowed 27 goals in 252 minutes. I don’t know what Coquitlam’s game plan will be. All the numbers above prove that they cannot get into an exchange of scoring opportunities with the Chiefs. If they do, it will not go well for them. Will they try and play it tough and intimidate the Chiefs? They tried that here on Saturday night and failed miserably, losing the game 8-4 while coming out on the losing end of the majority of the physical battles they instigated. I can’t see that working for them. That leads me to believe they are going to have to go into a defensive shell and do whatever they can to limit the Chiefs offensive chances. With this game plan they would hope that implementing a few variations of the neutral zone trap will frustrate the Chiefs into turning the puck over which in turn would lead to more scoring chances for them. We haven’t seen the Express do this against Chilliwack this year. Which is another reason it’s something they will likely consider doing. Will whatever they do work? I doubt it but you never know. Strange things happen in sports. I’m reaching way back into the archives for this example but nobody thought Chilliwack’s first BCHL team, the 1970-71 Bruins had a chance in their first round playoff series against the Victoria Cougars. The Bruins won just 12 of 60 regular season games and finished 59 points behind the Cougars. Chilliwack won the series in seven games. It’s still the biggest playoff upset in BCHL history. So don’t think the Express have no chance in this series. Barry Wolff is an excellent coach who will get the most out of his players. I just don’t think it will be enough.

In memory of Roy Mussell As the years rush by, I seem to stand still as the world around me moves. There is nothing more I’d like than to turn back time. I have moments that I have to remind myself to breath, and I think about what we had.. and how special you are. Although things are not as they were, I still know what we used to know. I hold you in the middle of my heart. This is one way of telling you that every day I’m loving you. Love you more, Maryanne
