hether increasing speed limits on B.C. highways is a recipe for disaster, long overdue or completely unnoticeable, depends on who you ask. Chilliwack residents, like most British Columbians, seem deeply divided on the issue. As part of a host of changes unveiled on July 2 by Transportation Minister Todd Stone, the speed limit on the stretch of Highway 1 through Chilliwack was increased to 110 kilometres per hour.

Truckers and cops say speed limit increase will only lead to worse accidents, but commuters like the change The move will “bring the speed limit in line with actual travel speeds,” Stone said. The decision came out of months of public consultation and engineering reviews, according to the government. But the RCMP and the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police argue that speed contributes to injuries and fatalities. B.C. truckers don’t like it either, and most won’t be increasing their

speed to follow the new rates as high as 120 km/h on the Coquihalla. Natural Resources Canada estimates that a heavy commercial vehicle travelling at 120 km/h can consume up to 39 per cent more fuel than one travelling at 90 km/h. Then there is the increase in fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions. Local truck driver John Greenwood said he won’t increase the speed he travels because his vehicle is limited by computer control to 105

Chilliwack prolific offender, who was once commended by city council for bravery, faces a raft of property crime and identity theft charges. Jeffrey Michael Kizmann has two trials and one preliminary inquiry scheduled in the fall. The 32-year-old career criminal goes to trial Nov. 14 for, among other charges, possession of stolen property and identity theft. His co-accused for those charges is Robert James Rabang. EB IRST Kizmann also First reported on has a Dec. 3 trial chilliwacktimes.com scheduled to face possession/use of stolen credit cards and fraud, and he’s set for a Nov. 18 preliminary inquiry to address 15 charges including mail theft, possession of stolen property, mischief and unauthorized use of credit card data. “Having personally dealt with some of the victims in this investigation, it is evident that this type of crime significantly affects them,” said Cpl. Brock Rayworth of the Chilliwack RCMP Property Crime Section. “Many of the victims have had to work with their financial institutions and have gone to great lengths to ensure their credit ratings are not destroyed.

Greenwood also thinks it’s a scam to increase tax revenue. “With increased speed, taxpayers drive faster, burn more gas and government collect revenue on the tax on gas tax so income for the government goes up,” he said. “The taxpayers don’t know they’re being tricked.” As for general highway users, the { See SPEED, page A4 }

Sam Waddington leans on the doorway of his Vedder Crossing store. The 24-year-old is running for Chilliwack city council in November.

am Waddington’s announcement that he will run for one of the six city council spots may seem a little early in the depths of summer, more than four months away from the election. For most of the current city council, it is too soon. “I will be taking the summer to consider my options with a decision point early September,” Coun. Chuck Stam told the Times via email. Couns. Ken Huttema and Stewart McLean said something similar. “I have not made up my mind yet. I will use the summer time to gauge family and community support and then make a decision,” Huttema said. “It’s too early for me to make that decision,” McLean said. Coun. Jason Lum confirmed that he will be running for election again in November, and added that he may take a shot at the mayor’s office. “At this point I am keeping my options open!” Lum wrote via email. “I will make a determination based on how the mayorship race shapes up.” Given the uncertainty, that mayoral race could be as uninteresting as another acclamation or as dramatic as a four-way battle, at least. There’s Lum, who is considering, and most expect Mayor Sharon Gaetz to run again. But former mayor John Les and former Chilliwack-Hope MLA Gwen O’Mahony have both said they are considering a bid for the office. As for Gaetz, who won the job handily in 2008 and faced no opponents in 2011, she told the Times in May that she wanted to inform council first but would sent out a press release “soon.” But asked again last week Gaetz said she has made her decision and won’t be announcing “at this time.” Couns. Ken Popove and Sue Attrill did not respond before the Times went to press.

What it takes to win—$7,593 be voted on by residents who live in places like Popkum and the Chilliwack River Valley. All it takes to be nominated, elected and to hold office as a member of local government is to be a Canadian citizen, 18 years of age or older on voting day, a resident of B.C. for at least six months before nomination papers are filed, and not be disqualified by the Local Government Act or any other enactment from voting in an election

Plus, it takes a little money too.

In the 2011 election for the six councillors for the City of Chilliwack, the 20 people who put their names on the ballot spent an average of $4,683, according to campaign financial disclosure statements. But if you want to win, you better be prepared to spend a little more. The six winning candidates spent an average of $7,593 on their campaigns. The most was $11,323 spent by Ken Popove and the least was $5,331 spent

While identity theft can be attributed to break and enters and theft from vehicles, the vast majority is the result of mail theft, according to police. The victims in the crimes Kizmann is accused of were from Chilliwack, surrounding municipalities and as far away as Alberta. Kizmann was also arrested last

a hospital “30 or so years ago,” she saw a corresponding decrease in bad accidents when speed limits were lowered. Others say slow drivers are the problem. “I find that the only more dangerous part is those drivers who still insist on driving 90 km/h,” Ben Maljaars said. “It used to be just annoying but now it’s actually dangerous because they are going a full 20 km/h below the flow of traffic.” “It’s about time the speed limit was increased,” Angela Mestrovic agreed. “It’s the slow drivers that are dangerous!” Nicole Linza said she is a daily commuter from Chilliwack to Richmond and has noticed no changes

in driving behaviour, so far, and that most drivers already drove at approximately 120 km/h. “If anything I’ve actually seen more commuters sticking around the 110 mark in this past week,” she said. Others suggested the increase was fine, but the highway should be six lanes all the way to Hope. And while the speed increase has gotten all the press, other changes announced by Stone have been overshadowed, according to Terrence Brown. “I think the speed increase overshadows the greater enhancements: ticketing ‘coasters’ in the fast lane, and those going dangerously under the speed limit,” he said.

Times asked for comments and within three hours received 70 comments. “I really do not see that much of a change,” said Tim Kilbrai. “Most people were driving between 110 and 120 anyway so now people will be at or closer to the speed limit. I drive the stretch between Chilliwack and Whatcom four times since the change and saw no difference at all with the drivers or the speed they were doing.” Cassandra Whitney said she doesn’t agree with the increase. “People drove way too fast before the increase and now that it’s increased it’s gotten even worse. There’s a reason for so many accident between Abbotsford and Hope on Sunday,” she said. Cathy Oss said while working at

Just as soon as Kizmann was old enough to be charged criminally, he was, according to Court Services online records. Barely 18 years old, in connection with an arrest on March 19, 2000, Kizmann was sentenced to a month in jail for possession of stolen property.

Interestingly, Kizmann was in attendance along with Clayton Eheler at a Chilliwack city council meeting 13 years ago in 2001 to be formally recognized “for their selfless acts of bravery” in connection with a fire on Princess Avenue. Eheler himself is a prolific offender identified in court records last year as an associate of the notorious Bacon brothers of Abbotsford. Eheler was most recently sentenced to 60 days in jail for criminal harassment and uttering threats.

› News “Found” scam targets owners of lost pets

Scam artists rely on catching victims at their most vulnerable—and a new local con scheme is no different. According to Chilliwack RCMP, a “fraudster” replies to pleas for information about missing pets, posing as someone who has rescued the pet and needs gas money to return it home. “It is really unfortunate to have to put out a public warning of this nature, but criminals will stoop very low to get what they want,” Const.

➤ BRIEFLY

Send your news to

editorial@chilliwacktimes.com Tracy Wolbeck noted in a press release. Victims for this scam are easy to find; after all, those who have lost their furry friends are anxious to spread the message as far as possible. And because characteristics about the pet’s appearance and personality are often included on “missing” posters, this

particular scam artist is able to bluff through enough details to convince the owner he’s found their missing pet. Owners, concerned for their pet’s well-being, are all too willing to believe him. “This fraudster is capitalizing on the fact that people will do just about anything to have their pets returned,” Wolbeck said. “He contacts the pet owners and says

he needs gas money to bring the pet back to them. Money has been sent to him and of course no dog has been returned.” To help combat this sort of scheme, police recommend leaving out key characteristics from wanted posters—such as unique markings or other identifiers—so legitimate rescuers can confirm they have your pet in front of them.

If you have any information about these incidents, please contact the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

Smoking caused fire, sprinkler put it out

A new building’s sprinkler system and a quick response by Chilliwack firefighters helped prevent a downtown apartment fire from causing

serious damage. At approximately 1:30 p.m. on July 2, crews from Halls 1 and 4 responded to the fire in the 9000 block of Corbould Street. On arrival crews reported light smoke from a third storey apartment window of a four-storey apartment. The fire was quickly brought under control with the aid of the building’s sprinkler system,

according to the Chilliwack Fire Department. The tenant of the unit where the fire started was home and the sprinkler helped limit the tenant’s exposure to smoke and hazardous gases. There were no firefighter or civilian injuries, and damage was limited to the one unit. The cause of the fire appears to be related to smoking materials.

hilliwack Mounties helped rescue a dog on July 2 that nearly drowned in the Vedder River.

Slade lost sight of the yellow lab and he w a s s w e p t d ow n t h e fast-moving river. Chilliwack RCMP attended the scene and located the dog stuck on the river’s edge, one kilometre upriver from the Keith Wilson bridge. An officer climbed down as close as he could get to where Timber was while another officer went to retrieve the RCMP boat. Meanwhile, a man on a Sea-Doo on the river helped by pick-

ing up Timber off the bank and bringing him to where the Mountie was located. The officer was then able to reunite Timber with Slade. “It was a terrifying experience knowing he was somewhere in the water but we could not get to him,” Slade said. “I can’t put into words how thankful we are to the RCMP and to the other members of the public who helped return Timber to us safely.” Other than being very tired, the dog was OK. “When people are panicked and they don’t know who to call, they call 9-1-1,” said Const. Tracy Wolbeck. “Thankfully we were in a position to be able to go to the river and help Timber and his owner.”

82 days in jail for bait car theft BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

Chilliwack man was sentenced to 82 days in jail for stealing a bait car last month. Lough Plumridge pleaded guilty in Chilliwack Court on Monday to motor vehicle theft in connection with the incident where a police bait car was stolen from downtown. The vehicle was travelling northbound on Old Dyke Road in the early hours of June 13 when it was spotted by police and remotely

deactivated. The 24-year-old Plumridge was arrested at the scene. “We are constantly bringing in different makes and models of bait vehicles that we know thieves like to target,” said Cpl. Brock Rayworth of the Chilliwack RCMP Property Crime Section. “Property crime is an enormous priority to us right now and these arrests are significant.” Plumridge’s co-accused, David McKay, has not pleaded guilty in connection with the incident.

After Plumridge was arrested, police say McKay fled into a wooded area and was tracked by officers assisted by police service dog Fritz. McKay allegedly kicked Fritz during the arrest. “The suspect suffered a minor injury as a result of Fritz’s assistance,” RCMP spokesperson Const. Tracy Wolbeck said at the time. Both Plumridge and McKay are well-known to police. McKay’s next court appearance on this file is July 22.

hile the B.C. Liberals aren’t about to win any awards for superior governance the last 14 months, the NDP opposition doesn’t make much of a case for trophies either. On a daily basis, the NDP shows a cynical view of the electorate, underestimating the smarts of B.C. residents while it continues to play the same game that’s been played in this province for decades. If the Liberals say white, the NDP will say black. Wow, there’s some real strategy. Latest case in point: the NDP’s attack on the Liberals after it was announced last week B.C. Ferries has awarded the $165 million design-build contract to a Polish company. The NDP news release talked about how the Liberals have “given up on creating jobs” here and “are doing nothing” to help the B.C. shipbuilding industry. Nowhere in the NDP news release does it mention the fact that the only Canadian firm shortlisted for the ferries contract that eventually went to the Polish company—North Vancouver’s Seaspan Marine—pulled out of the bidding, saying it was too busy with upcoming contracts. An oversight by the people writing NDP news releases? Are these the same people who worked on their party’s polling before the last provincial election? We can’t believe they didn’t know the Seaspan Marine angle, so we have to assume they left that information out of the release on purpose.

Pulling back the curtain at city hall I

t’s been said that a little bit of information can be a dangerous thing. One need only to peruse social media to see how a nugget of truth can, intentionally or unintentionally, be spun into something false or even serve as the root of a conspiracy theory. What goes on at Chilliwack city hall? How are the decisions made to spend our tax dollars? I’ve been watching for eight years now and I’ll confess that at times I’m not entirely sure. I invite the public to attend a meeting and sit in the empty public gallery. Read a full city council agenda available online. You will learn, if not a lot, at least a little. There is a municipal election in four months and while it may seem early to talk about the subject, some people have been talking about it for more than a year. From spending millions of taxpayer dollars to buy real estate in the downtown core to demolishing the Paramount Theatre to rezoning a property to allow for a hazardous waste facility on the banks of the Fraser River, deci-

PAUL J. HENDERSON @peejayaitch sions in recent months have rankled many who pay attention. Young local businessman and outdoor recreation enthusiast Sam Waddington has been watching city hall closely ever since the Paramount decision. Last week he announced his bid for city council on Nov. 15. One of his concerns is that it appears decisions made at city hall are done behind closed doors. When you watch a city council meeting, nuanced staff reports are rarely discussed and, more often than not, Mayor Sharon Gaetz and the six city councillors around the table, say little or nothing and move on. (This isn’t a new point on my part. I wrote something similar in March after council had zero discussion about, among other things, spending $190,000

for welcome-to-Chilliwack signs.) One thing Waddington made clear, and I should to, is that it is not that decisions are indeed being made behind closed doors. It’s just that it looks that way. Whether it is the perception or the reality, it’s important. For Waddington, the Paramount public consultation felt like a charade. The Paramount was always going to be torn down and no one at city hall was listening to the opposition. Or maybe it just felt that way. As for actual (legal) due process being followed, city hall will be in BC Supreme Court just two months before the election defending itself against claims the municipality failed to adhere to its legal obligations when it rezoned a Cannor Road property for Aevitas Inc. to build a hazardous waste recycling plant. Local resident Glen Thompson, backed by the Outdoor Recreation Council of BC has filed a legal challenge over the city’s process. Among other things, nowhere in the city’s public notice did it say the site would be used for hazardous waste, including PCBs

and mercury. But beyond such legally dicey decisions, there are dozens of items that, I believe, city council would do well to talk a little bit more about. Tell us why you think the things you vote in favour of are good uses of taxpayer dollars or good policy decisions. Ask a question at a public meeting, even one you know the answer to, so that staff can explain things. This happens, but not enough. And there is a danger that this type of meeting behaviour can seem patronizing. Gaetz can, at times, sound like a schoolmarm as she explains things to councillors. But better that than the opposite, which is silence. More explanation, inquiry and debate would be in the best interests of democracy but it would also be in the best interests of the mayor and councillors themselves. Some of those currently elected to office may find, come November, that the little bits of information the public see, hear and read about will prove dangerous indeed.

No wonder our taxes are so high Editor: Chilliwack has 34 employees who get paid more than $100,000 annually in salary. No need to wonder why we had such a big tax increase. What scares me the most is paying pensions to those people on top of probably providing higher salaries for their replacements. You would think that highly paid executives would have a clue about balancing a budget, but instead they need to justify their big salaries, so they will come up with big projects and grow their departments and now we need a bigger city hall, more taxpayer money down the drain. When you make over $100,000 the municipal tax increase of 2.44 per cent on your house is of little consequence, and you have very little concern for people on fix income. Chilliwack is a city that is out of control, spending money that we don’t have and digging deeper into the taxpayer’s pocket. Their plan for downtown is raising taxes again, that should attract more investors. Great planning! Thank you mayor, councillors and city staff for providing Chilliwack with the worst managed and being the biggest spenders ever. Taxpayers need to be more vigilant during the next municipal election and stop electing incompetent people that can’t balance a budget and keep their hands out of your pockets. We need to elect more competent people to look after our city and control spending. Keeping the taxes down will also attract more business downtown. With all the new construction, there should be enough new revenue every year to actually decrease

taxes, if the city was run properly, by competent people, who care about the people they are working for, the taxpayers. Louis Rabooin Chilliwack

Let God change who you are Editor: Justin and Brett, as I read your story and saw the picture of you and the beautiful little babies, I was filled with mixed feelings as I’m sure many Christians were. Joy at seeing these precious little ones. All life is precious—in the womb, and out. However, great sadness at the realization that you are depriving them of the being raised by a loving mom and dad, something Justin mentions on your blog that he was lacking in his youth. You would choose that for these children? I also have concerns of what will happen to Jordan and Sawyer’s 13 siblings that you have “created.” Rest assured they are just as priceless as Jordan and Sawyer. And you are responsible for them. I understand from God’s Word that those who are living homosexual lives will find it very difficult to see that what they are doing is so frightfully immoral. So I expect you to read this and feel defensive. That’s understandable. Apparently that is a predicted response. And to convince yourself that what you are doing is perfectly normal and OK. Well, it’s not. Not everything in life that makes us happy is OK. No matter how many folks you can convince to agree with you, if God does not, what of all the “love?” It’s worthless. Empty. I challenge you to be open minded and to search God’s Word. Start with Romans 1:26-28. And if there you find yourself faced with the truth, God can also give repentance, healing and real love. You say you can’t change who you are, but God can. And you can change what you do. Nelly Goudzwaard Chilliwack

Editor: To begin with, I must stress that this is my personal opinion and not that of the Chilliwack Board of Education. I write this letter as a member of the community. I have received many letters from teachers in recent weeks and have had the opportunity to talk to teachers on the picket lines. The concerns from teachers that I hear are not about their wages or benefits but rather they are concerned about class size and composition. This directly affects their workload but what I am really hearing is their passion to help their students. I cannot sufficiently tell their stories here but I will say if there is any part of the BCTF’s most recent offer that aligns with the interests of students it has to be the creation of a $225 million fund to address class size and composition. This fund is considerably smaller than the $2 billion figure that the provincial government bandied about. I do not have inside information of negotiations but it is my sense that if the government would concede on this point the union would make concessions on others and a deal could be reached. The government should consider this not only because it would end the strike but because it is in the best interests of our students. Class size and composition do matter and studies show it. The Tennessee Study of Class Size in the Early School Grades—of which the Brookings Institute called “the most influential and credible” —compared the achievement of students in small classes to those in large classes. It studied 6,500 students in 330 classrooms across 80 schools. This study found that smaller class sizes increased students’ performances in reading, arithmetic, and basic study skills. There is a lasting benefit too, when students who started in smaller classes were returned to their larger classes they performed better than their grade-mates who had started in larger classes. This study makes it clear that smaller class sizes are beneficial to a student’s success. I do not think it a stretch to extend this to composition as it all comes down to teachers being able to spend more time with each student. It puzzles me to hear BCPSEA’s negotiator and the Minister of Education say that class size and composition have no bearing on student achievement. It does not correspond to the research or common sense. It comes down to money and the BCTF’s most recent offer on class size is reasonable in my opinion. It frustrates me that school boards and the BCSTA have been advocating on behalf of class sizes and funding only to have it fall on deaf ears. I also find it lamentable that it takes

God has secured us a rock-solid foundation BY REV. WILLEM H. VAN DE WALL Cooke’s Presbyterian Church

he Christian walk through this world has never been an easy walk. We can do the right things, say the right prayers, attend church and serve in ministries only to find our lives in just as much chaos as anyone who does not share our beliefs. Catherine Marshall was a famous Christian writer who committed herself with her husband to full-time ministry. She gave up the prospect of becoming what her childhood dream was—a journalist. While they were in ministry she contracted tubercu-

losis. She spent nearly three years recovering from the disease. Not long after that her husband died of a heart attack and she was left alone to raise a nine-year-old son. People around Catherine wondered if committing herself and her family to God’s service was the right decision. Many followers of Jesus Christ, who with enthusiasm started their journey with Him, left disappointed. Hardships, opposition and persecutions were never a part of the road they envisioned with Jesus. David himself complained to God about why it seemed as if the wicked prospered while the God-fearing

people saw how things caved in around them. The Prophet Elijah gave up, sitting alone in a cave, and asked God to take his life. St. Paul described in his second letter to the Corinthians what he endured for the kingdom of God: “Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was pelted with stones, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea, I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my fellow Jews, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from

false believers.” No one is immune to what we all must go through in this life. And as much as many questioned God’s love in times of difficulty, they discover that He is their only foundation. David confessed that in Psalm 16 as he was fleeing from Saul. In his moment of fear, depression and isolation, he remembered—There is an unmovable foundation—Almighty God. Before David many came to that realization. And after David many came and will still come to that realization. We just celebrated Canada Day and as a part of the rock-solid foun-

And from that we can build on the spiritual foundation God secured for us.

Editor: Where has common sense gone? Religion, the opiate of the masses, is a joke. I became an ordained minister, recognized in Canada, by sending a cheque to an address in Oakland, California. Are human beings not equal? White, black, gay, male, female yadda, yadda. Life is to be lived by the Golden Rule. Life for the majority of us is the same God’s Will that created white, black etc. I watched a TV program the other day where a bunch of people were brow-beaten by a religious leader telling them to oppose progression. Don’t we have better things to do than promote bigotry? I personally don’t understand gay, lesbian or bi-sexual relationships but it is their right to live their lives. I don’t think God, whoever he or she is, cares. Live and let live. There is no violence involved on their part. Fortunately these anti-gay zealots who misread the Bible aren’t as crazy as those who misread the Koran. Scott H. Wallis Chilliwack

n an impressive display of home turf dominance, Chilliwack Attack won medals in nearly every age division last week at the BC Soccer Youth Provincial Girls B Cup tournament, hosted locally by the Chilliwack FC soccer club. “It’s a piece of history for our club,” said Glenn Wilson, head coach of four years. The host teams won gold in all three of the most junior categories (under-13 to under-15), and took silver in the under-16 group during the competition July 3 to 6. Prior to last week’s games, the club had only won a single provincial category in the 30 years of its recorded history. “And then all of a sudden, we win three in one year,” said Wilson.

The successful medal run follows a similar display in the spring, when the U13, U15 and U16 girls won in their respective Coastal Cup tournament divisions, qualifying them for the provincials. As hosts, the remaining three teams were also entered in the series. Wilson credits a decision by the club four years ago to improve the development side, focusing on not just the players but the coaches as well. “At the end of the day our players and teams can only be as good as those that coach them,” he said. “And I think we’re just starting to see the results of that [improvement].” Looking to get kids playing earlier, the group now has starter programs for seven-year-olds, lowering the previous beginning age from 10. The head coach said he sees the club being regular contenders in the future, and that the days of winning one division every 30 years are over. His next goal is to try to achieve the same sort of success on the boys’ side, who did not have a qualifying team this year. From a community standpoint Chilliwack was very supportive of the tournament, according to Debbie Chand, chairperson of the local organizing committee. “It went off without a hitch,” she said, adding that both sponsorship and fan support exceeded expectations.

sabel Taylor, 11, bobs in her kayak on the water near the rocky edge of the Tamihi Rapids, waiting for her dunked companions to retrieve their lost paddles and boats. Two of her training partners tipped in the rushing torrent and, unable to right themselves, had to eject and swim to shore. The group is eagerly braving the cold water this cloudy afternoon in preparation for the Nanaimo 2014 BC Summer Games, where they will compete for provincial distinction along with 18 other Chilliwack athletes. With time on her hands, Taylor recalls the story behind the signature-covered helmet she wears for this practice session. Last summer, while competing at the Canadian Whitewater National Championships in Kananaskis, she met a long list of riversport idols, including Olympian David Ford. The veteran competitors wrote personal messages to Taylor on her headgear, now a treasure that rides with her on training days.

Isabel Taylor (left) and her brother Rhys (right) prepare for the Nanaimo 2014 BC Summer Games in the Tamihi Rapids last Thursday. Taylor talks excitedly, oblivious to the river rushing around her. She is at home in this boat, on the swirl of water below Chilliwack Lake Road. Her brother Rhys, 15, has been paddling with Isabel since they took up the sport almost four years ago, and the two of them are set to go to Nanaimo mid-July to compete in the Games. They are not the only siblings to be heading to the Games this summer. Fellow paddlers Austin and Maddison Atkins make up the other half of

the kayaking crew that will represent Chilliwack at the event. “I am glad that Maddison is going to the games too,” says Isabel. “Now there will be another Chilliwack girl to hang out with, and it will be fun to compete together.” The four of them are led by their coach, Jon Allen, whose kayak competition credits include two downriver national championship wins.

Sealed with a Kiss and Auto Accessories

After competing in Europe and training in Australia, Allen returned to Canada to mentor younger aspiring paddlers. “I began coaching to stay involved after a shoulder injury,” he says. “Coaching is my way of giving back to the sport, because I had so many great coaches during my paddling career.” Allen has been working with these junior paddlers since their first day in the water. “They are a great group of kids and have worked through many setbacks,” he says. “Every day they surprise me with their determination and hard work.” After returning with the runaway boats and paddles, Allen takes the two swimmers aside in calmer water to mete out punishment for their wet exits. Each paddler executes two complete rolls, first entering the water, then twisting back upright above the surface. While the mood of the group is generally fun, Allen is serious at this point. Staying in the boat is important in competition, as ejecting will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF). His persistent and patient coaching has paid off. Both Taylors competed in the 2012 BC Summer Games, and then again in last year’s Canadian National Whitewater Championships, where Isabel gathered her prized helmet signatures—and top prize in her age category. “He has helped me improve my strokes, and taught me how to maneuver different types of boats in the water,” she says. “I can now roll in lots of different boats thanks to [Jon], and I can get them through the slalom gates without touches.” Coach Allen says he tries not to put expectations of results on his athletes, but has a good feeling about the upcoming event.

“I expect to see them approach the slalom event with confidence and paddle good, fast runs through the gates,” he says. “They have it in them to win that event.” And although the races are important, there is a lot more to the Games for these young competitors. “It is the whole Games experience of meeting new friends, trying different things, sleeping in dorms, late nights, early mornings, a dance, a flash mob, cool medals, and a bit of independence and responsibility,” lists Isabel and Rhys’ mother, Barb Taylor. Barb is one of the tireless parents who volunteer their time to fundraise, judge, plan, provide homestays, and ensure that these opportunities can be realized for the children. With such close involvement from the parents, it certainly is a family affair. The trip to Nanaimo will be the Taylor clan’s second BC Games together. “Having my brother Rhys as a teammate is good because then we have something in common to do and to talk about,” says Isabel, also admitting they can be competitive. Rhys, the quieter of the two, is a little more direct with his take on sibling rivalry. “Having my sister as a teammate is sort of annoying,” he says. “But it’s fun to beat her.”

AJ PUMPS

◗ Young athletes from all over British Columbia will participate in the Nanaimo Games, July 17 to 20. Chilliwack is sending 22 competitors, four coaches, and six officials to take part in 12 of the 19 sports on schedule. They join approximately 3,200 other participants at venues in Nanaimo, Parksville and Duncan. Able-bodied athletes are 11 to 18 years old, and athletes with disabilities must be between 13 and 50 years old to compete.

Ten-year-old Leah Overduin and other Maljaars family grandchildren show off freshly picked blueberries at Berry Bounty Farms in Chilliwack.

Exceptional growing conditions bring bumper crop of blueberries the largest highbush blueberry growing region in the world, with Canada ranked third as a country. The Maljaars operation, Berry Bounty Farms, is on Chilliwack Central Road where three generations pitch on the seven acres of ripening blueberries. They also have 10 acres of younger blueberries not ready for harvest, and eight acres of raspberries. “We all work together at this,” Dave Maljaars says. While this is the first year for the blueberry crop, they have had raspberries for a while, and all are for sale at their roadside stand along with homemade jam and juice. This weekend, those keen on the popular summer fruit—referred to by the blueberry council as “nature’s candy”—can come out to the farm for a special day. Visitors can see the

berry picker in action, pick a few berries after a wagon ride, take part in some fun activities, and have lunch with proceeds going to help orphans in Kenya through Hungry for Life. Blueberries are hard to miss in Chilliwack right now, with fruit stands popping up in parking lots, on street corners and on rural roads.

The large, extended Maljaars family are in the field daily, handpicking this, the first harvest ever of these four-year-old bushes. It’s blueberry season in the Fraser Valley and even for someone new to the business, someone whose bushes have never been picked before, patriarch Dave Maljaars knows this year is a good one. “By all accounts it looks like a good year,” he says. And the B.C. Columbia Blueberry Council agrees. “This year’s crop is exceptional in both the quality of the fruit we’re seeing, and the size of the harvest,” said Debbie Etsell, executive director of the Council. “Growing conditions were close to perfect this year, with such a sunny spring, and no extreme weather. That meant that a lot of fruit was pollinated.” This year’s harvest among the 800 growers in the province is expected at 68 million kilograms, exceeding even last year’s incredible 55 million kilograms, which made the province

› The Eaten Path blueberry turkey burgers

roviding a recipe to go with blueberries may seem unnecessary. What else do you need to do than shove ‘em in your mouth as a snack, or in a bowl for dessert? But here’s an interesting take on turkey burgers to bring blueberries into the main course.

Blueberry Turkey Burgers Recipe courtesy BC Blueberry Council Ingredients:

➤ QUICK FACTS

800 - blueberry farms in B.C. 11,000 - hectares of blueberry crops in B.C. 55 million - kgs. of blueberries produced in 2013 68 million - kgs. of blueberries expected in 2014 $1 billion - sales of B.C. blueberries in last five years

Yields 4 burgers 1 lb lean ground turkey 3/4 B.C. blueberries, fresh or frozen, roughly chopped 1/4 cup green onion, chopped 1 large egg 1 tbsp whole grain mustard 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped or 2 tsp dry 2 tsp fresh thyme, chopped or 1 tsp dry 1 tsp garlic, finely minced or dry 1 tsp paprika, mild or hot 1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper 2 tsp vegetable oil 3 tbsp barbecue sauce 4 whole grain burger buns

Directions: Pre-heat a heavy bottom pan or barbecue to 350 F/175 C. In a bowl, mix all the burger ingredients and form four, three-quarterinch thick patties. Keep refrigerated until ready to cook. Grease the grill with an oiled paper towel, or heat the oil in the pan. Place patties on the pre-heated grill (or in pan), and sear on medium-high heat, cooking for approximately 5-7 minutes until browned. Flip over, reduce the heat to medium-low and finish cooking for another 5-7 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165 F/75 C. Brush with barbecue sauce and serve on buns with condiments as desired.

PLATELET RICH PLASMA What is PRP and how does it work? PRP is not a drug or an implant, it is a patented procedure. It is the only system that allows truly natural tissue regeneration using your body’s own ability to rejuvenate, and improve skin texture and thickness. In just a few steps, you can enjoy a natural way to correct your skin imperfections with no post-procedure downtime. PRP can significantly improve skin texture, tone, and overall quality. PRP treatments allow the physicians to isolate some of your own platelets and fibrin from your blood and re-inject them at a particular site to correct a targeted skin imperfection. Once they are administered in your skin, growth factors are released to trigger the production of new cells and collagen.

Francey brings honest folk to fest BY DESSA BAYROCK Special to the Times

ccording to David Francey, the width and breadth of the country seeps into Canadian music—pines swaying in the breeze, wildlife darting into bushes on the shoulder of highways crossing through the mountains, fields of crops turning golden in the sunlight across the prairies. “We’re so distinct; we just are. It’s a hard thing to define, no doubt about it. But if you go travelling, you know who the Canadian is, and Canadian music shows stand out,” Francey says. “Maybe it’s our introspection over the winter, or maybe we’re just good observers, but we’ve always been a bit of a rich field for singer/ songwriters.” Francey will be on the Harrison Festival stage this summer, joining

a host of both Canadian and foreign performers on the line-up. He gained a distinct appreciation for Canada in part through crossing the country three times in strangers’ vehicles. “I did a lot of hitchhiking as a kid,” he explains with a laugh. “You know you’re very impressionable at that age anyway, but I’d read a pile of John Steinbeck, so I wanted to get out and see Canada. He saw America, I wanted to go see Canada. “When you stand in the countryside for so long waiting for a ride, at that level and that pace, it kind of soaks into you—an appreciation for every part of this country. You’ve got

the mountains, the prairies—everything’s got its own beauty and it’s own time.” This is his first time at the Harrison Festival for Francey, who falls into the genre of honest and acoustic folk. But he knows to expect a good time from the Valley after appearing at the Mission Folk Festival five times, most recently last year. “It’s a part of the country I really like and it seems to attract people I really like,” he says with a laugh. “I just enjoy being in B.C.—it’s a different place altogether. It’s a wonderful thing to get to enjoy now and again.” ◗ Francey will be at the Festival on Tuesday, July 15 at 7 p.m., performing on the Beach Stage with Chris Cool on banjo and Mark Westburg on guitar. All beach performances are included in a $2 festival button day pass, which also covers entrance to the Art Exhibit and the Art Market.

Bhangra with a bang in Harrison BY DESSA BAYROCK Special to the Times

y day Sandy Sekhon has a business co-op job, handling social media and marketing. But in her off hours she dons a traditional jewel-toned outfit and dances in a style that recalls the harvest season in India. She’s the president of UFV’s Bhangra club, which celebrates a style of dance many in the multi-cultural Fraser Valley will recognize—a traditional Punjabi folk dance marked by vibrant costumes, formations, and movements in unison—a bright and lively celebration of life and successful harvest. “You’ll see some of the movement

mimics watering plants or chopping crops,” Sekhon says with a smile. This summer the team is heading to the Harrison Festival to showcase both the skill and culture behind the dance, joining forces with dancers from Abbotsford’s Bhangra Beat Academy to put on a bigger and better show. Between 20 and 30 dancers will be on stage at once “It’s really fun to do stuff like this, because we don’t get to do that in competition—competitions usually limit us to age or to the number of people that can go on stage at once,” Sekhon explains. “Events like this are where we get to be more creative and put more dancers on stage.” The style focuses on joy and celebration—passion reflected in vivid

costumes and sparkling accessories. The twirling, smiling dancers are a pleasure to watch, sliding effortlessly from one formation to the next. The UFV team only recently started making an appearance in the competitive Bhangra world, with performances and exhibitions both locally and internationally. But Sekhon says, as always, it’s a delight to dance here at home. “Local support is pretty much where it starts,” she says. ◗ The Bhangra dancers will perform as part of the Straight from the Valley Opening Concert on Friday, July 11, as well as again on Sunday on the Beach Stage at 3:40 p.m. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.harrisonfestival.com.
